After the banger that episode 4 was , episode 5 “Hunger” showed us the true insight and journey that is planned ahead of us and the lust and hunger that keep everyone moving making us to beg for more.

Episode 5 starts with Kageyama getting flashbacks of his junior high with his teammates leaving him behind , and the genius that was supposed to be born never got to make a proper appearance. It was a significant flashbacks for kageyama character as it shows the lenght he has come from being a Tyrant king to someone actually enjoying volleyball while still continuing to get better.

This episode marks the end of camp training and hence the starting of the real journey for Karasuno team. With the camp Hinata has improved his observational at par with any of his teammates. He seems much more calmer and acting more with his mind than his instincts. In Tsukishima practice match against Hyakuzawa, Hinata is able to quickly observe and predict their next moves. Tsukishima seems to have improved greatly throughtout the camp with his defence as well as setting.

On the other side, Kageyama plays a match where their positions are shuffled with every point. This showed how all the players in youth camp are no less than monsters as they can play any position they are given. Kageyama seems to be in his best shape as he continue showing his best game yet in the whole camp. Miya Atsumu , Kageyama’s new rival, seems to be impressed from his form and told him to be a spiker instead of a setter as he seems much better fir with that role. All the talks from Atsumu seems to be pushing Kageyama mentally.

Second half reveals the hard work and training that other members of Karasuno had been doing. They seems to be in pretty good shape as they prepare for their next tournament. We are shown brief interaction of Coach washijo with his juniors at the restaurant after the finishing of the camp. Even though it seems he never acknowledged Hinata, he explained the hunger that people , those who lack height or skill, have as opposing to those who got it without putting in any effort. He explains the difference between two hinting that he somewhere recognised Hinata and saw himself in his place.

The next morning Hinata and Kageyama meet on Karasuno ground as they greet and then competed to the court which reveals that even though they have greatly developed in this period but they are still the same person with that attitude and passion.

The episode marked the end of training and we couldn’t have asked for better ending to the camps. Animation remain consistent , dialogue writing was at the top of the game . Series have been rogressing really well as we move onto episode 6.
