**[00:07] Girl**
Got it!
***SIGN*** Shine
**[00:15] Shiba**
Kuroo-san!
**[00:16] Shiba**
The girls' game will be done soon.
**[00:26] Kuro**
Now, then... the semi-finals.
**[00:29] Kuro**
If we win this round and advance to the finals,
we'll be going to nationals.
**[00:34] Kuro**
Let's do what we usually do.
**[00:36] All**
Right!
**[00:39] Dai**
Your usual... high level
of defense and teamwork.
***SIGN*** Nohebi Academy
**[00:44] Dai**
But you kitties lack decisiveness.
**[00:47] Yamamoto**
What was that?!
**[00:48] Kuro**
Don't, Yamamoto.
**[00:50] ---**
Don't let that snake bastard get to you.
**[00:52] Dai**
You always have that hair. Are you sure
you're not lying about your height?
**[00:56] Dai**
Are you actually 180 cm tall?
**[00:58] Kuro**
What was that?! I'd never
do something so petty.
**[01:02] Kuro**
I always make sure I squish that thing
into my head when I measure my height!
**[01:06] Kuro**
By the way, did you ever get
over Mika-chan dumping you?
**[01:09] Dai**
What?!
**[01:10] Kuro**
You sure you're gonna be able to play
this match? You must be pretty hurt.
**[01:10] ---**
Wait, what?! I wasn't dumped!
I'm the one who dumped her!
**[01:13] Kai**
Oh, come on...
**[01:15] Dai**
How do you know about that, anyway?
**[01:17] Lev**
Our "usual" isn't what it used to be.
**[01:24] Yaku**
Lev, your dumps are too long.
**[01:26] Lev**
Huh?! How do you know how
long they are, Yaku-san?!
**[01:29] Yaku**
I wasn't talking about the size!
I meant the time!
**[01:29] Dai**
Huh. Well...
**[01:32] Both**
See you in the finals!

**[01:56] Kenma**
Kuro, are you nervous?
**[01:58] Kuro**
Huh? Of course I am.
Look who we're up against.
**[02:03] Cheer**
Fukurodani!
**[02:05] Bg**
Bokuto!
**[02:07] Bg**
You've got this!
**[02:09] Cheer**

Great job, Cheer Captain Akane!

**[02:32] Yaku**
I see your little sister's as excited as ever.
**[02:32] Bg**
Fukurodani! Fukurodani!
**[02:36] Yama**
Sorry about that...
**[02:37] Yaku**
Also...
**[02:38] Alisa**
You've got this, Levochka!
**[02:41] Akane**
What's Levo... whatever?
**[02:43] Alisa**
It's Lev's nickname.
**[02:45] Akane**
That's super cute!
**[02:48] Yaku**
I see that Lev's older sis
is super hot, as usual.
**[02:53] Lev**
I know, right?
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[03:02] Both Teams**
Let's play!
**[03:06] Kuro**
We're basically blood.
**[03:08] Kuro**
We need to make sure we keep
flowing without a hitch.
**[03:11] Kuro**
Make sure the oxygen circulates
**[03:14] Kuro**
so the brain can do his job.
**[03:17] Shiro**
Akaashi.
**[03:19] Shiro**
Do we need to do the usual?
**[03:21] Shiro**
The thing where we tell Bokuto that a girl
in some row says he's super cool.
**[03:27] Aka**
No.
**[03:28] Aka**
I don't think we're going
to need to do that today.
***SIGN*** Fukurodani
**[03:41] Kai**
Yaku!
**[03:42] Yaku**
Got it!
**[03:50] Kuro**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[03:56] Sarukui**
Konoha.
**[03:57] Kono**
Got it!
**[04:00] Aka**
* It's been a while since we started*
* off with so little hesitation.*
**[04:18] Boku**
Hey, hey, hey!
***SIGN*** Fukurodani
***SIGN*** One Ball,
Heart and Soul
**[04:23] Bg**
Nice, nice, Bokuto! Nice, nice,
Bokuto! One more point!
**[04:24] Kuro**
He sure knows how to work the crowd.
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[04:30] Kuro**
Fukunaga!
**[04:31] Boku**
Left!
**[04:35] Aka**
It's all you!
**[04:37] Boku**
Here comes another one!
**[04:48] Alisa**
Nice! He's lucky that came right to him!
**[04:51] Akane**
That's not true.
**[04:52] Akane**
I think Yaku-kun positioned himself
where the ball was going.
**[04:56] Alisa**
He can do that?!
**[05:04] Kuro**
Nice kill!
**[05:04] Bg**
Do it, do it, Nekoma!
Push it, push it, Nekoma!
**[05:05] Boku**
*Yakkun's digs are exhilarating!*
**[05:08] Boku**
*I'm getting fired up!*
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[05:20] Alisa**
Another beautiful play.
The ball's just floating.
**[05:27] Aka**
Bokuto-san!
**[05:31] Kenma**
*A line shot.*
**[05:39] Lev**
It seems like Kuroo-san stuffed Bokuto-san
a whole lot more during our 3-on-3.
**[05:42] Bg**
Nice, nice, Bokuto!
**[05:45] Shiba**
But I think the back has an easier time
**[05:47] ---**
receiving the ball because
of Kuroo-san's blocks.
**[05:54] Bg**
Fukurodani! Fukurodani!
**[05:54] Kenma**
Bokuto-san loves cross shots,
**[05:55] Bg**
Go, go, Nekoma!
**[05:58] Kenma**
but his line shots are on point today.
**[06:03] Aka**
Who can say?
**[06:05] Aka**
We both know how unpredictable he can be.
***SIGN*** Connect
**[06:11] Kenma**
Bokuto-san is in top form today.
**[06:13] Kenma**
And Yaku-kun is, too.
**[06:16] Yaku**
Yeah! I can see really clearly today!
**[06:19] Kenma**
Bokuto-san is hitting his
line shots very well today.
**[06:23] Kenma**
And he's keenly aware that Yaku-kun
is waiting for his cross shots.
**[06:27] Kai**
We've been forming our
blocks for cross shots,
**[06:32] Kai**
but should we change over to line shots?
**[06:35] Kenma**
Yeah, but...
**[06:39] Kenma**
Let's wait until Bokuto-san gets a bit more
comfortable with his line shots, first.
**[06:50] Kono**
Leave it to me!
**[06:55] Kuro**
One touch!
**[07:00] Washi**
Cover!
**[07:04] Komi**
Bokuto!
**[07:05] Kuro**
Left, left!
**[07:14] Boku**
Ow!
**[07:17] Lev**
Nice block!
**[07:17] Guy**
Nice!
**[07:20] Aka**
*The block...*
**[07:22] Aka**
*They switched positions.*
**[07:25] Kuro**
I need to take the spotlight
every once in a while.
**[07:28] Boku**
It's only been once so far!
**[07:31] Akane**
They finally broke through!
**[07:32] Alisa**
They finally blocked one.
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[07:35] Kenma**
Now let's start to deliberately
shut down Bokuto-san's line shots.
**[07:39] Yama**
You got it!
**[07:40] Kai**
Yeah.
**[07:46] Komi**
Sorry, it's a bit long.
**[07:57] Boku**
*Damn! There's nowhere to hit the ball!*
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[08:03] Boku**
Argh! I'm sorry!
**[08:08] Naoi**
All right, our defense has
gotten into its groove.
**[08:10] Naoi**
Now, we just need one point
to get the team hyped up!
**[08:13] Lev**
Heck yeah! Here comes Nekoma's ace!
**[08:15] Alisa**
You can do it, Levochka!
**[08:19] Yaku**
Hey, your sister's stealing
the spotlight from you today.
**[08:21] Yaku**
Better step up your game, titan.
**[08:23] Lev**
I know that!
**[08:32] Kono**
Damn it!
**[08:34] Yama**
Free ball!
**[08:45] Saru**
Nice, Konoha!
**[08:46] Yama**
Smash it!
**[08:47] Kuro**
Lev!
**[08:49] Lev**
This time, I'll...
**[09:04] Alisa**
I'm so sorry!
**[09:06] Akane**
S-Stuff like this even happens
in international matches.
**[09:10] Akane**
Don't worry about it!
**[09:13] Bg**
Fukurodani! Fukurodani!
**[09:14] Neko**
Kenma.
**[09:15] Neko**
I'm counting on you to take care of Lev.
**[09:15] Bg**
Go, go, Nekoma!
**[09:19] Neko**
You sure do have the most
expressive face sometimes.
**[09:24] Ken**
You're panicking and trying
way too hard all the time.
**[09:27] Lev**
Kenma-san.
**[09:28] Kenma**
At least look at the ball.
Also, don't lower your elbows.
**[09:31] Kenma**
You need to prioritize height over speed.
**[09:34] Lev**
Wait! Don't say all that at once!
**[09:37] Kenma**
By the way, I've already told
you all of this before.
**[09:41] Lev**
*When Kenma-san gets like this,*
**[09:42] ---**
* he's way scarier than*
* Taketora-san or Yaku-san!*
**[09:48] Kenma**
You're still nowhere near
as good as Shoyo.
**[09:55] Guy**
Nice serve!
**[09:57] Girl**
One more point!
**[09:58] Kai**
He's gonna smash an intense serve over here.
**[10:00] Yaku**
Step back a bit.
**[10:06] Yaku**
Kai!
**[10:11] Lev**
* Don't lower your elbows.*
* Don't lower your elbows...*
**[10:14] Lev**
*Go high!*
**[10:17] Kenma**
*Here.*
**[10:30] Some**
Nice, Konoha!
**[10:31] Guy**
Good job, Mr. Jack of All Trades,
Master of None.!
**[10:34] Kono**
Who the heck just said that?!
**[10:36] Lev**
Damn it! I'm definitely
going to turn this around.
**[10:39] Kenma**
Probably not happening this set.
**[10:41] Lev**
That's not...
**[10:42] Kenma**
Don't panic.
**[10:44] Kenma**
Everything's coming together.
**[10:48] Bg**
Go, go, Nekoma!
***SIGN*** Connect
**[10:49] Akane**
Push it, push it, Nekoma!
**[10:54] (Flashback) Kenma**
You're still nowhere as good as Shoyo.
**[11:00] Lev**
Yes!
**[11:02] Akane**
*I love how high Lev-kun hits that ball!*
**[11:08] Alisa**
*Does Akane-chan...*
**[11:10] Alisa**
* If those two get married, Akane-chan*
* would be my little sister!*
**[11:14] Alisa**
*Oh, my goodness! What should we do?*
**[11:16] Alisa**
* We could go shopping?*
* We could always go shopping!*
**[11:18] Alisa**
*We could go shopping and—*
**[11:21] Lev**
Sorry about that!
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[11:25] Neko**
It looks like our defense is
building up just how we want it.
**[11:29] Neko**
From here on out, it'll
be a test of endurance.
**[11:31] Neko**
That's one of the things you're
all best at, isn't it?
**[11:34] All**
Yes, sir!
**[11:40] Akane**
Nekoma's defense
**[11:42] Akane**
slowly fills in its gaps
and solidifies itself.
**[11:46] Akane**
Spike after spike,
they'll continue picking it up.
**[11:49] Akane**
And if they concentrate too
much on the ground defense
**[11:54] Akane**
they'll get stopped by the blockers!
**[11:56] Boku**
Damn it!
***SIGN*** Connect
**[11:57] Bg**
Nice, nice, Nekoma!
Push it, push it, Nekoma!
**[12:01] Bg**
One more point!
**[12:01] Aka**
Bokuto-san, I think you're too
worried about their receivers.
**[12:05] Aka**
If they happen to dig your spikes,
we'll just hit the ball back over again.
**[12:09] Boku**
I just can't seem to do cross shots today.
**[12:12] Boku**
I mean, even if I want to hit a cross shot,
my body just keeps hitting line shots.
**[12:19] Aka**
*Bokuto-san's weakness number 37...*
**[12:23] Aka**
* When he's excelling at a*
* certain aspect of his game...*
**[12:27] Boku**
Wait, how do I even hit a cross shot?
**[12:31] Aka**
* ...sometimes he'll completely*
* forget how to do everything else.*
**[12:38] Guy**
Did he just say he doesn't
know how to hit a cross shot?
**[12:42] Guy**
Wait, is he joking?
**[12:44] Aka**
*Sadly, he's completely serious!*
**[12:46] Kono**
You were hitting really good
ones in the first half!
**[12:50] Boku**
My line shots are really on-point today,
so I just kept hitting those
**[12:55] Boku**
and now I just can't get out of the habit...
**[12:58] All**
*This idiot...*
**[13:00] Aka**
*Calm down. All is not lost yet.*
**[13:04] Aka**
*One good shot will get him back in shape.*
**[13:07] Aka**
*With the current rotation...*
**[13:11] Aka**
Then just hit a cross shot
without thinking about it.
**[13:14] Aka**
Just hit it however feels best.
**[13:18] Aka**
I'll open up the path for you.
**[13:21] Boku**
Dude, Akaashi, you sound insanely cool!
**[13:26] Aka**
* Kozume will probably aim for*
* Bokuto-san at the the front left.*
**[13:27] Saru**
Up front!
**[13:28] Kono**
Leave it to me!
**[13:30] Kono**
* I ask that you receive the ball*
* as close to the net as you can.*
**[13:36] Lev**
*A setter dump!*
**[13:37] Aka**
*As expected, he's insanely quick to react.*
**[13:41] Aka**
*Haiba will end up in the back, on defense.*
**[13:44] Aka**
* That also means the troublesome*
* Kuroo-san will move up front.*
**[13:46] Aka**
* If I'm going to deceive their blockers*
* and get Bokuto-san back to his best,*
**[13:51] Aka**
*this is the perfect rotation.*

Hey, hey, hey!
**[14:36] Akane**
That's no fair...
**[14:39] Akane**
That was way too cool!

Look at him, acting like
he's Mr. Cool... Damn it!
***SIGN*** Nekoma Fukurodani
**[14:49] Both**
Thanks!
**[14:53] Neko**
Guess we're just going
to have to give Akaashi
**[14:55] ---**
a round of applause for being able
to get Bokuto back on his feet.
**[15:04] Lev**
I'm... I'm supposed to get tons of spikes,
**[15:08] Lev**
do lots of blocks,
**[15:11] Lev**
and get tons of cheers and
squees from the crowd!
**[15:15] Kuro**
You know, I can't say I dislike how
straightforward and stupid you are sometimes.
**[15:20] Lev**
I know that Nekoma's all about teamwork,
**[15:23] ---**
so I know that I shouldn't do
anything to mess up that balance.
**[15:27] Kuro**
Wow, you were actually thinking about that?
**[15:35] Kuro**
Well, I mean, yeah, that's pretty important.
Teams can be pretty complicated.
**[15:40] Kuro**
It can be pretty difficult
working with others.
**[15:44] Kuro**
It's not like I'm saying that the nail that
sticks out needs to be hammered down.
**[15:48] Kuro**
How do I put this...
**[15:53] Kuro**
I expect the moment when
teamwork comes together
**[15:56] Kuro**
feels way more satisfying than you think.

No line shot.

Ugh, he pisses me off!

Has the captain of Nohebi
always been like that?!
**[19:42] Kuro**
Nah. He just learned how to fake
being a Goody Two-Shoes along the way.
**[19:46] Kenma**
He's got the head ref completely
wrapped around his finger.
**[19:51] Saki**
#11's just huge.
**[19:54] Dai**
#11's just a sieve.

Hiroo-san, one more!

*I'm definitely...*

But you'll still get the ball,

A-Aw, shucks...

**[00:05] (Flashback) Kai**
Are you two here to check
out the volleyball team?
**[00:08] (Flashback) Kai**
I'm Kai Nobuyuki from Class
1-5. Nice to meet you.
**[00:12] (Flashback) Kuro**
Kuroo Tetsuro from Class 1-2.
**[00:15] (Flashback) Yaku**
Yaku Morisuke from Class 1-3.
**[00:17] (Flashback) Kuro**
Yeah, I know.
**[00:20] (Flashback) Yaku**
Have we met before?
**[00:22] (Flashback) Kuro**
In a tournament my first year of junior high,
we got wrecked by your team.
**[00:29] (Flashback) Yaku**
Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't
remember that at all.
**[00:32] (Flashback) Yaku**
By the way, stop looking down on me.
**[00:38] (Flashback) Kai**
Have you decided to join yet?
**[00:40] (Flashback) Kai**
If you have, I look forward to playing
with you two the next three years.
**[00:46] (Flashback) Kuro**
To celebrate, why don't we
all go get something to eat?
**[00:49] (Flashback) Kai**
Sounds great. What should we eat?
**[00:51] (Flashback) Yaku**
Meat!
**[00:51] (Flashback) Kuro**
Fish.
**[00:54] (Flashback) Yaku**
Fish? What are you, a grandpa?
**[00:56] (Flashback) Kuro**
Could you stop making comments proving
that you lack docosahexaenoic acid?
**[01:01] (Flashback) Yaku**
What? Speak Japanese.
**[01:03] (Flashback) Kuro**
Eat some more fish and learn some things.
**[01:07] (Flashback) Yaku**
Say, do you know that really cute girl
with short hair in Class 1-5?
**[01:11] (Flashback) Kai**
I'm not sure.
**[01:12] (Flashback) Yaku**
She's really petite.
**[01:13] (Flashback) Kai**
Do you like girls with short hair, Yaku?
**[01:16] (Flashback) Yaku**
Yeah!
**[01:17] (Flashback) Kai**
What about you, Kuroo?
**[01:19] (Flashback) Kuro**
I prefer long.
**[01:20] (Flashback) Kuro**
Mild.
**[01:21] (Flashback) Yaku**
Hot.

**[02:30] Lev**
Yaku-san, that dig was...
**[02:34] Kuro**
Damn it...
**[02:35] Shiba**
Wait...
**[02:36] Shiba**
Did he step on someone's foot
in the crowd when he landed?
**[02:43] Yaku**
I'm really sorry!
**[02:44] Crowd**
No, I'm totally fine.
**[02:48] Yaku**
I'm fine!
**[02:54] Neko**
Shibayama!
**[02:58] Dai**
My, my... Looks like he
chased it a bit too far.
**[03:04] Yaku**
I'm sorry.
**[03:06] Kuro**
We're always causing you trouble, Yakkun,
**[03:09] Kuro**
so it wouldn't hurt for you to watch us
win from the bench every now and then.
**[03:15] Kai**
Don't worry. It's just a
small break before nationals.
**[03:23] Yaku**
* I haven't gotten sick or gotten*
* hurt in this past year.*
**[03:28] Yaku**
*So why did this have to happen now...*
**[03:32] Yaku**
*Why?!*

Right.

This is when we really need guts!
**[04:37] Yama**
Yeah!
**[04:38] Kai**
Yeah, you're right.
**[04:42] Ken**
Hey, you're bringing down
the mood too much.
**[04:46] Kenma**
I think we'll be fine.
**[04:50] Nekoma**
* Kenma's not that interested in*
* the actual outcome of the game.*
**[04:54] Nekoma**
* That's why his words*
* never convey anything false.*
**[04:57] Nekoma**
* He just analyzes what's*
* possible and what's not.*
**[05:00] Neko**
*And he said we still have a chance.*
**[05:03] Neko**
* That's more encouraging*
* than any other pep talk.*
**[05:12] Kenma**
Shibayama.
**[05:13] Shiba**
Yes?
**[05:14] Kenma**
Just sub out with Lev when he's in the back.
**[05:17] Kuro**
Yeah. Don't sub me out.
**[05:21] Kuro**
When I rotate into the back, I'll stay in.
**[05:25] Shiba**
Yes, sir!
**[05:26] Shiba**
* Right now, I don't have the right*
* to always stay in the game.*
**[05:31] Shiba**
*I'm the only one who can prove my worth!*
**[05:37] Kuro**
Yaku-paisen always loves
to steal the spotlight.
**[05:41] Kuro**
Let your old leader look cool sometimes.
**[05:47] All**
Yeah!
**[05:50] Dai**
They didn't waste any time benching him.
**[05:52] Dai**
But at the same time, it doesn't
change the fact that their defense
**[05:55] ---**
has some holes in it now, since Yaku's out.
**[05:57] Dai**
Go after the least skilled, the weak,
and those who are easy to break!
**[06:01] Dai**
This set is ours!
**[06:03] All**
Yeah!
**[06:13] Akane**
A jump floater!
**[06:26] Lev**
Ow!
**[06:27] Kai**
Nice receive.
**[06:28] Kuro**
I'm sure Yaku could've gotten
that without diving for it.

**[06:42] Saki**
*What the hell is this pressure?*

Suguru!
**[06:49] Daisho**
* Their #11 might be a beast near the net,*
* but once he's in the back...*
**[06:54] Daisho**
*He's basically an amateur!*
**[06:55] Kuro**
Keep your eyes...
**[06:57] Kuro**
on me!
**[07:00] Akane**
He shut him out!
**[07:02] Guy**
Hey, don't move!
**[07:08] Kuro**
I understand why you'd want
to aim for the rookie, but...
**[07:17] Lev**
You're right, Kenma-san!
I think we've got this!
**[07:20] Kenma**
We're not clear yet.
**[07:21] Lev**
Huh?
**[07:21] Kenma**
I'm gonna need Kuro to do way more.

**[07:35] (Flashback) Yaku**
Libero isn't just some position
created so short guys can play.
**[07:40] (Flashback) Yaku**
You need to prove that
you're worthy of being a regular.
**[07:43] (Flashback) Yaku**
Make them think you're worth being on
the court, even if you can't attack.
**[07:49] (Flashback) Yaku**
Isn't it an honor to play libero for Nekoma,
who's known for their defense?
**[08:13] Both**
All right!

Kuguri!
***SIGN*** Fair and Square
**[08:39] Yaku**
* His form is incredibly good. I had*
* no idea which way he was going to hit.*
**[08:44] Numai**
Kuguri... He really is better than I am.
**[08:47] Guy**
That's not true, Numa-san!
**[08:49] Guy**
You just had to sit out this
time because of your injury.
**[08:51] Numa**
The coach likes guys that
are really enthusiastic,
**[08:54] Numa**
but it's hard to read Kuguri's emotions.
**[08:56] Numa**
Now that's coming back to bite him.
**[08:59] Numa**
But I'm pretty sure his technique
is better than mine.
**[09:03] Numa**
Come on! Tell me that's not true!
**[09:05] Guy**
Uh...
**[09:09] Kuro**
Nice shot!
***SIGN*** Nekoma Nohebi

That was just pure luck!

**[10:20] Yama**
Free ball!
**[10:38] Hiro**
*Their #1 came up behind their #11!*
**[10:43] (Flashback) Kenma**
Kuro's really good at defense, even if
he's not as good as Yaku-kun, and...
**[10:48] (Flashback) Kenma**
I've never tried that up-tempo attack
from the back row with Kuro,
**[10:52] (Flashback) Kenma**
but I think we can pull it off.
**[10:55] (Flashback) Kenma**
Sorry if I screw it up, though.
**[10:58] Kenma**
*Even if your defense isn't as good,*
**[11:01] Kenma**
*I think it'd be a great surprise attack.*

**[11:40] Saki**
Kuguri!
**[11:41] Lev**
A cross shot!
**[11:43] Lev**
Damn it!
**[11:45] Kenma**
We probably won't be able to win against
their #12 just by trying to read them.
***SIGN*** Nekoma Nohebi
**[11:48] Kenma**
I can't get a good read on him at all.
**[11:50] Guy**
Hey, a pinch server.

**[12:37] Both**
Yeah!
**[12:40] Guy**
Wasn't that actually inside?
**[12:42] Guy**
They're really good at this.
**[12:43] Guy**
The moment they realized
they couldn't get the ball,
**[12:46] ---**
they blocked the ball from the ref's
sight and the ref called it out.
**[12:50] Guy**
Talk about conniving.
**[12:52] Guy**
*They act like Goody Two-Shoes to the refs.*
**[12:55] (Flashback) Guy**
Talk about cheap.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Dai**
If they really want to win,
why don't they actually try?
**[13:04] Dai**
There's not a single guarantee in a game.
**[13:07] Dai**
Everything we do is to help us
take advantage of the flow.
**[13:11] Dai**
Any provocation, compliment...
**[13:14] ---**
Give it your all!

Do everything you can to get that point!

*But it's just pain.*

*Why is Shibayama apologizing?*
**[16:00] Lev**
*I mean, other than messing up on a serve,*
**[16:03] Lev**
* almost nothing that happens on the court*
* is ever only one person's fault.*
**[16:11] Lev**
What the heck? I totally get it.
**[16:16] Lev**
* I thought this teamwork thing was some*
* mental thing that was more complicated.*
**[16:19] Lev**
* But the reason that we can't*

Stop flailing your arms around!

**[18:36] (Flashback) Kuro**
I expect the moment when

feels way more satisfying than you think.
**[18:50] Kuro**
Well?

How did it feel to block the ball
without trying to actually stop it?
**[18:54] Lev**
Shibayama and I together
are like one Yaku-san.
**[18:59] Lev**
So I figured we needed to work together.
**[19:02] Lev**
And then, during that rally...
**[19:05] (Flashback) Shiba**
I'll be right behind you!
**[19:09] Lev**
I realized what Shibayama was talking about.
**[19:12] Lev**
But that wasn't all.
**[19:14] Lev**
But the fact that I was able to control
the spiker from the other side of the net
**[19:18] ---**
without even touching him...
**[19:21] Lev**
That felt awesome!
**[19:26] All**
Thanks for the game!
**[19:41] Kuguri**
Numai-san...
**[19:42] Kuguri**
They totally led me into
hitting that last shot.
**[19:46] Kuguri**
I'm really sorry.
**[19:47] Numai**
The fact that you were able to hit through
their defense at all there was amazing.
**[19:53] Numa**
And, Kuguri,
**[19:55] Numa**
I'm somewhat relieved that you
actually seem frustrated about this.
**[20:04] Kuro**
For at least this game, even if some
of it might've been dumb luck,
**[20:08] ---**
I thought it'd be best to let Lev
show off what he can really do.
**[20:12] Kuro**
But that jerk far surpassed my expectations.
**[20:16] Yaku**
I mean, if he sucks, just tell him he sucks.
**[20:19] Yaku**
Like, to his face.
**[20:20] Kai**
I mean, it's not easy to say,
"You messed up your block. Fix it,"
**[20:26] ---**
right after you missed a receive.
**[20:27] Kuro**
Exactly. It's not like the rest of us are as
confident with receiving as you are, Yakkun.
**[20:32] Yaku**
Hm? Then get more confident.
**[20:36] Kai**
You sure do say some complicated
things like they're nothing.
**[20:40] Mika**
Good job out there.
**[20:42] Dai**
Mika-chan?!
**[20:44] Mika**
S-Sorry I said that you were boring
because you only care about your club.
**[20:49] Mika**
Y-You looked really cool out there.
**[20:56] Mika**
I think I finally sorta understand
**[20:58] ---**
why you concentrate so much on your club now.
**[21:03] Saki**
Lucky guys must pay!
**[21:06] (Flashback) Mika**
Teach me how to play volleyball sometime.
**[21:10] Dai**
Sure.
