*A tall, tall wall looms in front of me.*
**[00:22] Hinata**
*What's the view on the other side?*
**[00:26] Hinata**
*What does it look like?*
**[00:30] Hinata**
*The view from the top...*
**[00:32] Hinata**
*it's a view I could never see on my own.*
**[00:37] Hinata**
*But if I'm not doing it alone...*

**[02:56] Dude B**
Karasuno, is that the school
in our neighboring town?
**[02:59] Dude B**
Pretty impressive.
**[03:01] Izumi**
Sho-chan, hurry. They'll take the court.
**[03:04] Hinata**
Karasuno...

**[03:13] Izumi**
Sho-chan wait up.
**[03:20] Hinata**
It's huge.
**[03:25] Hinata**
The smell of Air Salonpas!
**[03:27] Izumi**
Sho-chan, you're too nervous.
**[03:29] Koji**
They'll think you're a country hick.
**[03:31] Hinata**
B-But I've never been in
a real tournament before.
**[03:35] Hinata**
Three years later and I'm finally here.
**[03:37] Koji**
It's sure been a struggle to get here.
**[03:49] Hinata**
Izumi, Koji,
**[03:51] Hinata**
thanks for being here as helpers.
**[03:54] Koji**
Stop it.
**[03:55] Izumi**
Our tournament's already finished, so...
**[03:58] Hinata**
First-year students, you too, thanks!
**[04:00] Hinata**
It's a miracle the
three of you are here.
**[04:03] Mori**
Oh, yes.
**[04:05] Mori**
We're total amateurs, but...
**[04:07] Koji**
Don't cry, Shoyo.
**[04:08] Hinata**
I'm not crying.
**[04:09] Izumi**
You're super tearful.
**[04:11] Suzuki**
U-Um, Hinata-senpai,
we should get started.
**[04:15] Izumi**
Come on, Captain. Get on the ball.
**[04:18] Koji**
That's right.
**[04:19] Koji**
You dragged us here.
We don't even know the rules.
**[04:22] Hinata**
I know that.
**[04:25] Hinata**
We made it all the way to the
tournament, we have to win.

What?
**[04:29] Izumi**
You think we can win with
our last-minute team pick?
**[04:32] Hinata**
Of course.
**[04:33] Koji**
What's our opponent
Kitagawa Daiichi like?
**[04:35] Hinata**
I don't know.
**[04:37] Hinata**
But we're going to do it.
**[04:44] Izumi**
Whoops, sorry!

Come on.

Kita-Ichi!
**[05:05] Player A**
It's Kitagawa Daiichi.
**[05:07] Player B**
They're huge.
**[05:08] Player C**
They're so intimidating.
**[05:10] Player D**
They're candidates to win.
**[05:12] Player E**
The "King" is among them.
**[05:13] Player F**
Who's that?
**[05:14] Player E**
Don't you know?
**[05:15] Player E**
It's Kageyama Tobio.
**[05:17] Player E**
They call him the "King of the Court".
He's an amazing setter.
**[05:20] Koji**
We're playing against those guys?
**[05:22] Koji**
What's this "King" stuff?
**[05:24] Hinata**
Don't worry about it!
**[05:25] Hinata**
Who cares how lanky they are?!
I'll shoot past them.
**[05:28] Izumi**
That's right, Sho-chan's
jump is amazing.
**[05:30] Koji**
We're counting on you!
**[05:34] Hinata**
But first, the bathroom...
**[05:40] Kita Player A**
I never even heard of
Yukigaoka Junior High.
**[05:43] Kita Player B**
They're small in number it seems.
**[05:45] Kita Player B**
They don't even have a libero.
**[05:47] Kita Player C**
They're the height of
elementary school kids.
**[05:48] Kita Player C**
They're no match for us.
**[05:50] Hinata**
Hey, dudes.
**[05:53] Hinata**
Don't underestimate us.
**[05:57] Hinata**
Soon as my stomach settles,
**[05:59] Hinata**
I'll teach you guys a lesson,
**[06:01] Hinata**
so be ready.
**[06:06] Kita Player A**
Is this guy serious?
**[06:07] Kita Player A**
Yes, sir. We'll be ready!
**[06:08] Kita Player B**
Elementary school.
**[06:09] Kita Player C**
He's got the captain label on him.
**[06:11] Hinata**
*Making fun of me...*
**[06:14] Kageyama**
Hey, second-year.
**[06:20] Kageyama**
It's time for the official warm-up.
**[06:23] Kageyama**
Hurry it up.
**[06:23] Player A**
I'm sorry, right away.
**[06:25] Player B**
Bad news, it's Kageyama-senpai.
**[06:31] Player B**
Hurry up, two more energy drinks!
**[06:33] Player C**
We don't need to drink that much.
**[06:36] Player C**
Just look at our opponent.
**[06:38] Player A**
That's for sure.
**[06:40] Hinata**
What did you say?
**[06:41] Kageyama**
You guys.
**[06:43] Kageyama**
You're not even on the bench.
**[06:45] Kageyama**
You think you're good enough
to look down on your opponent?
**[06:49] Kageyama**
Don't ride the coattails of
your school's reputation.
**[06:51] Player**
S-Sorry!
**[06:54] Hinata**
*Scary...*
**[06:56] Hinata**
I was going to tell them
a thing or two myself, too.
**[07:03] Kageyama**
You're not even physically ready.
Don't talk big.
**[07:06] Kageyama**
That's why they look down on you.
**[07:08] Hinata**
What did you say?
**[07:09] Kageyama**
What are you doing here, anyway?
**[07:11] Kageyama**
Making memories?
**[07:14] Hinata**
I came here to win. Nothing else.
**[07:17] Kageyama**
You make it sound so easy.
**[07:20] Hinata**
Sure, I'm not tall.
**[07:24] Hinata**
But...
**[07:26] Hinata**
I can jump.
**[07:29] Hinata**
You can't assume we'll lose,
**[07:31] Hinata**
as long as we don't give up—
**[07:32] Kageyama**
"Don't give up."
**[07:33] Kageyama**
That's not as easy as it sounds.
**[07:38] Hinata**
The six of us...
**[07:39] Hinata**
the six of us can finally
play volleyball on the court.
**[07:43] Hinata**
The first game, second game...
**[07:46] Hinata**
We'll win and keep winning.
**[07:48] Hinata**
We're going to give it our all!
**[07:53] Kageyama**
The first game, second game,
**[07:56] Kageyama**
the playoffs, the nationals...
**[08:00] Kageyama**
I'm going to win them all.
**[08:14] Izumi**
Sho-chan.
**[08:16] Hinata**
Izumi.
**[08:17] Izumi**
Why are you making that scary guy mad?
**[08:19] Izumi**
Weren't you going to the bathroom?
**[08:21] Hinata**
Let's get back, hurry.
**[08:22] Izumi**
How's your stomach ache?
**[08:23] Hinata**
It's all gone.
**[08:24] Izumi**
Huh?
**[08:29] Izuma**
*Crap. He's good for real.*
**[08:32] Izuma**
He's a setter.
**[08:34] Koji**
That's him, the so-called "King
of the Court," Kageyama Tobio.
**[08:39] Koji**
By the way, what's a "setter"?
**[08:41] Izumi**
That's the offensive position
that tosses the ball.
***SIGN*** Setter
**[08:43] Izumi**
We studied it, remember?
**[08:45] Koji**
We did?
**[08:48] Kageyama**
Your timing is slow.
**[08:50] Kageyama**
"Come in faster for the
quick," I told you.
**[08:52] Kindaichi**
My bad.
**[08:54] Coach**
Kageyama, don't focus on speed alone.
**[08:58] Coach**
What matters is not your own skills,
**[09:00] Coach**
it's how you let the
spiker hit the ball.
**[09:03] Kageyama**
I know that.
**[09:15] Hinata**
*This is it.*
**[09:16] Hinata**
*It's finally about to start.*
**[09:17] Teams**
Let's play.
**[09:20] Player**
Our opponents sure are short.
**[09:23] Hinata**
Koji.
**[09:23] Hinata**
Your back number. Show your back number.
**[09:25] Koji**
Huh?
**[09:29] Hinata**
Koji.
**[09:32] Koji**
Sorry.
**[09:34] Hinata**
Don't worry about it.
**[09:35] Backup Player**
Nice serve.
***SIGN*** Kitagawa Daiichi Yukigaoka
**[09:39] Scorer A**
Oh man, they probably
won't score a point.
**[09:42] Scorer B**
Fine by me.
It'll be over quicker.
**[09:44] Scorer A**
That's a fact.
**[09:46] Hinata**
Don't worry. Don't worry.
**[09:48] Hinata**
Let's do better next round.
**[09:49] Koji**
Uh... yeah.
**[09:51] Hinata**
*We finally got here.*
**[09:54] Hinata**
*We won't let it end so easy.*
**[09:59] (Flashback) Hinata**
What?
**[10:00] (Flashback) Hinata**
I'm the only club member?
**[10:02] (Flashback) Sensei**
Yeah.
**[10:03] (Flashback) Sensei**
The club members got less
and less every year.
**[10:05] (Flashback) Sensei**
Plus, boys' volleyball
isn't a club activity.
**[10:08] (Flashback) Sensei**
It's just a fan club.
**[10:09] (Flashback) Hinata**
Oh...
**[10:10] (Flashback) Sensei**
What do you want to do?
Change to another club?
**[10:12] (Flashback) Sensei**
Or do you want to join the girls' team?
**[10:14] (Flashback) Hinata**
Well, no...
**[10:17] (Flashback) Hinata**
I'll be a one-man team then.
**[10:18] (Flashback) Sensei**
Is that right?
**[10:19] (Flashback) Hinata**
I'm going to be the Little Giant.
**[10:21] (Flashback) Sensei**
You're going to be the what?
**[10:31] (Flashback) Girls' Team**
Nice serve.
**[10:38] (Flashback) ---**
Here...
**[10:43] (Flashback) ---**
Gather round!
**[10:44] (Flashback) Female Player**
Let's go for a run.
**[10:46] (Flashback) Girls' Team**
Okay.
**[10:47] Hinata**
*My chance.*
**[10:48] (Flashback) Hinata**
Izumin!
**[10:49] (Flashback) Hinata**
You're taking a break right?
**[10:51] (Flashback) Hinata**
Toss for me.
**[10:52] (Flashback) Izumi**
"Toss"?
**[10:54] (Flashback) Hinata**
I want to spike the ball.
**[10:55] (Flashback) Izumi**
I can't. I don't know how.
**[10:57] (Flashback) Hinata**
You just toss it up.
That's all you have to do.
**[10:59] (Flashback) Izumi**
I can't. Senpai's watching.
**[11:01] (Flashback) Basket Senpai**
Gather up.
**[11:02] (Flashback) Two**
Right!
**[11:11] (Flashback) Student**
Hey, Hinata.
**[11:13] (Flashback) Student**
I heard you're on the
girls' volleyball team.
**[11:16] (Flashback) Student A**
Are you serious?
**[11:17] (Flashback) Hinata**
N-No, I'm not.
**[11:19] (Flashback) Student**
Who are you after?
**[11:20] (Flashback) Student**
There's a foxy third-year senpai.
**[11:24] (Flashback) Hinata**
There is a foxy senpai, but...
**[11:26] (Flashback) Student**
I knew it.
**[11:27] (Flashback) Hinata**
You got it wrong.
**[11:28] (Flashback) Hinata**
I'm the boys' volleyball team.

I'll enter a tournament. Eventually.

I'll get a team together,

But I will, you'll see.

Hey, haven't you had enough?

My arms hurt.

I can't shoot the ball accurately.
**[12:44] (Flashback) Izumi**
I've had it.
**[12:46] (Flashback) Hinata**
Please. Just one more.
**[12:48] (Flashback) Hinata**
First-year students agreed to join me.
**[12:50] (Flashback) Izumi**
You keep saying "one more."
**[12:53] (Flashback) Izumi**
This is the last one, okay?
**[12:54] (Flashback) Hinata**
Got it.
**[12:56] (Flashback) Izumi**
Here goes.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Izumi**
Oh, sorry.

Go, Sho-chan!
**[13:08] Hinata**
*Sure, I'm little,*
**[13:10] Hinata**
*but my legs can jump...*
**[13:12] Hinata**
*over any wall.*
**[13:19] Kindaichi**
All right!
**[13:20] Izumi**
Sho-chan, don't worry about it.
**[13:22] Koji**
We'll toss it for you again.
**[13:24] Hinata**
S-Sorry.

I'll get it in next time.

*This is bad...*

Reckless tosses today, as usual.

I know. The opponents can't
even block; what's the point?
**[14:37] Kunimi**
What's he so serious about?

Stop it. We're in a game.

Kita-Ichi's setter is good,
**[14:50] Scorer**
but it's like he's playing
out there all by himself.
**[14:55] Kunimi**
All right.
**[14:57] Kunimi**
Service ace again.
**[14:58] Kageyama**
Not yet.

He won't get that.

Excuse me, um... I...

Um!

We don't want to get injured.
**[15:27] Kawashima**
We're out of their
league to begin with...
**[15:29] Kageyama**
One more, same way.
**[15:30] Kawashima**
Why must you do this?
**[15:32] Hinata**
Um... what?
**[15:35] Hinata**
Huh?
**[15:36] Hinata**
I don't know what you mean.
**[15:38] Hinata**
But...
**[15:41] Hinata**
we haven't lost yet.
**[15:46] Kageyama**
*That's right. It's simple.*
**[15:48] Kageyama**
*No matter how challenging the volley,*

* there's only one reason*

I know, but look at the points.
**[16:33] Kunimi**
Not unless a miracle happens...
**[16:35] Kageyama**
That last point was no miracle.

He scored a genuine point.

What were you doing
for the last three years?
**[18:19] Koji**
What did he say?
**[18:20] Izumi**
Stay out of it.
**[18:21] Koji**
What do you know about what
he did the last three years?
**[18:24] Izumi**
What's the point of
telling him about that?
**[18:26] Koji**
Yeah, but...

*My first and last official match of junior high...*
**[18:28] Referee**
Boys, hurry up and get in line.

**[18:36] Hinata**
*Total game time: only 31 minutes.*
**[18:46] Sugawara**
"King of the Court," huh...
**[18:48] Sawamura**
He's going to be a difficult opponent
when he starts high school.
**[18:53] Tanaka**
My money's on that little guy.
***SIGN*** Karasuno High

**[19:07] Koji**
What did you expect?
**[19:09] Koji**
They're candidates for the nationals.
**[19:13] Kindaichi**
Man, I'm hungry.
**[19:15] Kunimi**
You're always hungry.
**[19:19] Hinata**
It doesn't matter if
they're strong or weak,
**[19:23] Hinata**
the bottom line is whether
we win or lose,
**[19:25] Hinata**
and if we lose, we're
off the court for good.
**[19:34] Izumi**
Sho-chan.
**[19:35] Koji**
Shoyo?
**[19:37] Hinata**
You...
**[19:41] Hinata**
If you're the King that
rules the court,
**[19:48] Hinata**
I'll have to defeat you,
**[19:51] Hinata**
and I'll be the last one standing!
**[20:00] Kageyama**
The last ones standing are the victors.
**[20:03] Kageyama**
Only the strongest.
**[20:05] Kageyama**
If you want to be the last
one standing, become strong.
**[20:22] Hinata**
*What I'm lacking...*
**[20:26] Hinata**
Thank you for today.
**[20:29] Koji**
D-Dumbass.
**[20:31] Koji**
You don't have to thank us.
**[20:33] Hinata**
Huh? Why are you crying Koji?
**[20:35] Koji**
I'm not crying.

**[02:15] (Flashback) Kageyama**
What are you doing here, anyway?
**[02:17] (Flashback) Kageyama**
You make it sound so easy.
**[02:19] (Flashback) Kageyama**

*No, no. There's no mistake.*

*This guy is Kageyama Tobio!*
**[02:30] Kageyama**
I met you last year...
**[02:31] Kageyama**
But I don't know your name.
**[02:33] Hinata**
M-My name is Hinata Shoyo.
**[02:36] Hinata**
You probably don't remember
the team you beat in the first match!
**[02:40] Kageyama**
I remember you very well.
**[02:42] Kageyama**

**[02:53] Kageyama**
You were lousy!
**[02:56] Hinata**
D-Don't make fun of me.
**[02:59] Hinata**
Sure, we got slaughtered by you guys.
**[03:02] Hinata**
Next time, I won't lose!
**[03:07] Hinata**
That's what I pledged to myself,
so what are you doing here?
**[03:10] Hinata**
How can I defeat you
if we're on the same team?
**[03:12] Hinata**
Shouldn't you be at some
other school with strong players?
**[03:16] Hinata**
Why didn't you go there?
**[03:19] Kageyama**
The strongest school in the prefecture...
**[03:23] Kageyama**
rejected me.
**[03:26] Hinata**
You didn't make it?
**[03:28] Hinata**
Even though you're the King of the Court?
**[03:31] Kageyama**
Don't...
**[03:33] Kageyama**
call me that!
**[03:34] Hinata**
Huh?
**[03:36] Sawamura**
The first setter of Kitagawa is on our team?
**[03:40] Tanaka**
But the guy's totally cocky.
**[03:42] Sugawara**
Don't try and intimidate him, okay?
**[03:46] Tanaka**
I-I wouldn't do something like that.
**[03:49] Kageyama**
Hello.
***SIGN*** Karasuno High School

**[03:56] Tanaka**
Hey, hey, hey. Who said you guys could...
**[04:00] Sawamura**
You're Kageyama?
**[04:01] Kageyama**
Osu.
**[04:02] Sawamura**
Glad you're here.
**[04:03] Sugawara**
You're quite tall.
**[04:05] Tanaka**
He needs an initiation, Suga-san!
**[04:07] ---**
Let's give him a reason to be
intimidated by us third-years!
**[04:10] Sawamura**
Tanaka, stop with that face.
**[04:12] Hinata**
*Kageyama is slightly taller.*
**[04:15] Hinata**
*But high-schoolers are kinda big...*
**[04:18] Hinata**
*That's right. I'm at Karasuno now.*
**[04:22] Hinata**
*Alright...*
**[04:22] Hinata**
Hello!
**[04:23] Sawamura**
How tall are you?
**[04:24] Kageyama**
180 cm.
**[04:24] Sawamura**
H-Hello...
**[04:26] Sugawara**
Oh...
**[04:26] Tanaka**
What? You're cocky!
**[04:28] Hinata**
Hello!
**[04:31] Tanaka**
Huh?
**[04:32] Tanaka**
Oh! You!
**[04:34] Tanaka**
Shorty #1!
**[04:37] Sawamura**
So the other applicant here, Hinata, is...
**[04:41] Sawamura**
You?
**[04:43] Sawamura**
I'm a little surprised...
**[04:47] Sawamura**
I see.
**[04:48] Sawamura**
So both of you are here at Karasuno.
**[04:51] Hinata**
Um...
**[04:52] Sugawara**
We saw your match last year.
**[04:55] Tanaka**
You're way short and sucked bad,
but you've got guts.
**[04:59] Hinata**
Thanks!
**[05:00] Sugawara**
Your jumps were awesome, too.
**[05:02] Tanaka**
But you haven't grown much since.
**[05:07] Hinata**
I may be little, but I can jump!
**[05:10] Hinata**
I'll be Karasuno's ace!
**[05:13] Tanaka**
Hey, hey.
**[05:15] Tanaka**
The newbie says he's gonna be the ace?
**[05:17] Tanaka**
You've got some nerve.
**[05:19] Sugawara**
It's good to be ambitious, right?
**[05:24] Hinata**
I-I'll do my best.
**[05:25] ---**
Hey...
**[05:26] Kageyama**
If you want to be the ace,
I hope you've improved.
**[05:31] Kageyama**
If you goof around,
you'll waste another three years.
**[05:36] Hinata**
What did you say?
**[05:40] Sawamura**
Why must you say that, Kageyama?
**[05:43] Hinata**
I played with all my might.
***SIGN*** Yukigaoka Kitagawa Daiichi
**[05:46] ---**
But...
**[05:50] Hinata**
But don't tell me
everything I've done is a waste!
**[05:58] Sawamura**
Guys...
**[05:59] ---**
You know, you're not enemies any more.
**[06:01] Sawamura**
Volleyball is about teamwork—
**[06:03] Hinata**
I'll challenge you.
**[06:05] Tanaka**
Hey! Daichi-san is still talking!
**[06:07] Kageyama**
Challenge me to what?
**[06:08] Hinata**
Volleyball, what else?
**[06:10] Kageyama**
How do you expect to challenge me one-on-one?
**[06:13] Hinata**
L-Like a passing contest!
**[06:14] Kageyama**
How do you compete at passing?
**[06:17] Tanaka**
Listen, damn it!
**[06:18] Dean**
What's the commotion, volleyball club?
**[06:23] Tanaka**
Yikes. The vice principal!
**[06:24] Sugawara**
Sensei.
**[06:26] Tanaka**
Sensei.
**[06:27] Dean**
You'd better not be fighting.
**[06:29] Sawamura**
Of course not.
Just a friendly rivalry. Right?
**[06:32] Tanaka**
This vice principal likes to make trouble,
so keep it down.
**[06:36] Hinata**
Serve! I'll return them all.
**[06:39] Tanaka**
Hey!
**[06:40] Hinata**
I was only able to get
one of your serves last year.
**[06:44] Hinata**
Right in the face...
**[06:46] Hinata**
But I've been training
with all kinds of people.
**[06:50] Hinata**
I'm not the same person as last year.
**[06:55] Kageyama**
Not the same as last year, huh?
**[07:01] Kageyama**
I'm not the same as last year, either.
**[07:04] Sawamura**
Now, now, guys.
**[07:05] Sawamura**
Let's not get carried away.
**[07:07] Hinata**
Is he a first-year student?
**[07:09] Hinata**
*Relax. Don't be intimidated.*
**[07:11] Hinata**
* Remember, you've trained*
* at this with the old ladies!*
**[07:15] Kageyama**
Here goes.
**[07:18] Hinata**
*A jump serve?*
**[07:19] Hinata**
*Last year he didn't—*
**[07:28] Tanaka**
I'm not sure *I* could've returned that one!
**[07:28] Hinata**
* None of the girl volleyball players*
* or old ladies served like that!*
**[07:33] Kageyama**
How's that different from last year?
**[07:39] Hinata**
One more.
**[07:41] Sawamura**
Hey. Enough is enough.
**[07:42] Dean**
They don't listen to their captain.
**[07:44] ---**
This could be a problem.
**[07:50] ---**
*He has quick reflexes!*
**[07:52] ---**
He's right in front—
**[07:55] Dean**
If this keeps happen—
**[08:07] Kageyama**
He was wearing a wig?
**[08:09] Kageyama**
You just noticed?
**[08:10] ---**
Everyone at the entrance ceremony could tell.
**[08:13] Tanaka**
You guys! Shut up!
**[08:16] Sugawara**
Tanaka, you shut up, too.
**[08:17] Dean**
Sawamura-kun, I'd like a word with you.
**[08:23] Sawamura**
Fortunately, he's not punishing us.
**[08:26] Sawamura**
And no apologies necessary,
**[08:28] Sawamura**
provided you all agree that you saw nothing.
**[08:33] Sawamura**
But, you guys...
**[08:34] Kageyama**
All because you couldn't hit a serve! You suck.
**[08:36] Kageyama**
What's different from last year?
**[08:38] Kageyama**
Are you kidding me?
**[08:39] ---**
I was dumb to even think it.
**[08:40] Kageyama**
You suck!
**[08:41] Hinata**
You talk too much.
**[08:42] Sawamura**
Hey.
**[08:44] Sawamura**
I want you to listen to me.
**[08:47] Sawamura**
I don't know what your motive
was for attending Karasuno.
**[08:50] Sawamura**
But I'm sure you came here
with victory on your mind.
**[08:52] Hinata**
Yes.
**[08:53] Kageyama**
Of course.
**[08:54] Sawamura**
Karasuno was one of the top teams
in the prefecture till a few years ago.
**[08:59] Sawamura**
It happened only once,
but we even went to nationals.
**[09:02] Sawamura**
Now we rank at best in the prefecture's top 8.
We're neither weak nor strong.
**[09:07] Sawamura**
Other schools call us things like,
**[09:09] Sawamura**
"Fallen Rivals,"
**[09:10] Sawamura**
and "The Crows That Can't Fly."
**[09:13] Sawamura**
I remember well when Karasuno
competed in spring nationals.
**[09:18] Sawamura**
Students from my neighborhood,
**[09:19] ---**
I'd pass by high school students
**[09:22] Sawamura**
competed against the country's best teams,
in a huge gymnasium in Tokyo.
**[09:27] Sawamura**
It gave me goosebumps.
**[09:34] Sawamura**
We're going to go there again.
**[09:47] Hinata**
I'm going to the same court
as the little giant.
**[09:52] Kageyama**
There are many
**[09:54] ---**
schools dreaming
of going to nationals.
**[09:58] Tanaka**
You bastard...
**[09:59] Sawamura**
Don't worry.
**[10:00] Sawamura**
I mean what I say.
**[10:04] Sawamura**
For us to make that happen,
our team has to be unified.
**[10:07] Sawamura**
And we can't have the vice
principal keeping an eye on us.
**[10:11] Sawamura**
I'm not telling you guys to become buddies.
**[10:17] Sawamura**
Even if you were enemies on opposite sides
of the net in junior high,
**[10:22] Sawamura**
I need you to understand that now,
you're on the same side.
**[10:28] Sawamura**
Do you get it?
**[10:30] Sawamura**
No matter how outstanding you are,
**[10:33] Sawamura**
no matter how willing
you are to give it your all,
**[10:36] Sawamura**
if you fail to get along,
and hinder your teammates...
**[10:42] Sawamura**
You're not wanted!
**[10:44] Sawamura**
Until you realize that you're both teammates,
**[10:47] Sawamura**
you won't be participating in this club!
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
**[11:22] Hinata**
What does it mean to realize
that we're teammates?
**[11:25] ---**
How do you do it?
**[11:26] Kageyama**
Who knows?
**[11:26] Hinata**
Please let me in!
Please let me play volleyball!
**[11:30] Hinata**
I'll get along with Kageyama, too!
**[11:33] Hinata**
Please!
**[11:34] Sugawara**
Are you sure about this, Daichi?
**[11:36] ---**
They're still members.
**[11:38] Sugawara**
Teams come together gradually, anyway.
**[11:41] Sawamura**
I know that, but...
**[11:43] Sawamura**
Out of my way!
**[11:45] Kageyama**
I apologize!
**[11:46] Kageyama**
I swear I'll get along with this guy.
**[11:48] Kageyama**
Please let me participate in the club.
**[11:55] Sawamura**
Are you sure you mean that?
**[12:04] Kageyama**
If I had to cooperate
with that guy in a match,
**[12:08] Kageyama**
I'd rather receive, spike, and toss all by myself.
**[12:12] Hinata**
How could you say that?
**[12:16] Sawamura**
I can't believe you just
told me your true feelings.
**[12:19] Sawamura**
But I think that's a good thing.
**[12:21] Sawamura**
Still, in volleyball, you can't drop the ball,
you can't hold the ball,
**[12:26] Sawamura**
and one player can't touch the ball twice.
**[12:29] Sawamura**
How do you plan to play by yourself?
**[12:36] Hinata**
Let me ask you something.
Are you actually stupid?
**[12:43] Sawamura**
Right!
**[12:45] Sawamura**
Tanaka, block and follow properly.
**[12:47] Tanaka**
Osu!
**[12:49] Hinata**
The court and ball are in front of my eyes.
**[12:52] Hinata**
And it sucks that I'm not allowed in...
**[12:53] Kageyama**
Dammit! I have no time to waste like this.
**[12:56] Kageyama**
I'm gonna make them let me in.
**[12:58] Hinata**
You realize we're teammates now?
**[13:01] Kageyama**
I'm a force to be reckoned with.
**[13:02] ---**
That's reason enough
for me to be on the team.
**[13:06] Hinata**
Just what I'd expect from the King—
**[13:08] Hinata**
Anyway, what are you going to do?
**[13:10] Kageyama**
I'll challenge them
**[13:11] ---**
to a two-on-two match.
**[13:13] Kageyama**
If we win, they have to let us in.
**[13:14] Kageyama**
If we team up, we'll appear friendly
no matter how we feel.
**[13:18] Kageyama**
That will speed things up.
**[13:19] Hinata**
We're going to challenge our senpais?
**[13:21] Hinata**
What if we lose?
**[13:23] Kageyama**
We won't lose.
You have me on your side.
**[13:26] Hinata**
*Is this guy for real?*
**[13:28] Hinata**
*Does he really mean what he says?*
**[13:30] Kageyama**
You just need to do the best you can...
**[13:32] Kageyama**
to not to get in my way.
**[13:36] Hinata**
Huh?
**[13:37] Hinata**
Do you think anyone would agree to that
and be all, "Yes, I'll do the best I can"?
**[13:42] Kageyama**
So what do you suggest?
**[13:44] ---**
Keep gazing through that window?
**[13:49] Hinata**
In junior high, I was only in one real match,
the one against your school.
**[13:55] Hinata**
We didn't have enough team members
to apply for a tournament till then.
**[13:59] Hinata**
I couldn't have real practice,
so I trained wherever I could.
**[14:02] Hinata**
The gym, hallways, random corners...
**[14:05] Kageyama**
*In hallways?*
**[14:06] Hinata**
So that first tournament...
**[14:09] Hinata**
When I stood at the center of the court
in that huge gymnasium...
**[14:14] Hinata**
I felt the spotlight on me,
I got worked up, like "Gwaaa!"
**[14:19] Kageyama**
"Gwaaa"?
**[14:21] Hinata**
I wanted to stay there, but...
**[14:24] Kageyama**
Staying on the court...
***SIGN*** Men's Volleyball prefecture tournament Kitagawa Daiichi, bitterly defeated
**[14:28] Kageyama**
Only the strong can stay.
**[14:31] Kageyama**
Well, what are we going to do?
**[14:32] ---**
If we don't go in together,
they'll slam the door.
**[14:35] Hinata**
If I can play volleyball...
**[14:39] Hinata**
I can endure anything, for a little while!
**[14:42] Hinata**
No matter how obnoxious you are,
**[14:43] ---**
I'll do my best to keep from seeing you!
**[14:45] Kageyama**
That's my line, you idiot!
**[14:47] Kiyoko**
Um...
**[14:55] Kiyoko**
Can you let me through?
**[15:06] Tanaka**
Kiyoko-san, good to see you.
I'll get that for you.
**[15:09] Kiyoko**
Never mind. I'll hold it myself.
**[15:11] Tanaka**
Kiyoko-san, you're beautiful as ever today!
**[15:16] Tanaka**
It turns me on when she ignores me!
**[15:25] Team**
Good job, everyone.
**[15:28] Tanaka**
They'll probably say,
"Let us in if we can beat you in a match."
**[15:33] Sugawara**
That's possible.
**[15:34] ---**
But all they have to do is show just
a little contrition, that's all.
**[15:39] Hinata & Kageyama**
Captain!
**[15:42] Hinata & Kageyama**
Let us challenge you to a match.
**[15:44] Hinata**
The two of us against you senpais.
**[15:46] Tanaka**
Are these guys for real?
**[15:48] Hinata & Kageyama**
One-two...
**[15:49] Hinata & Kageyama**
We'll prove that we can cooperate as a team.
**[15:54] Sugawara**
I heard them say "one-two"...
**[15:56] Tanaka**
But I can't say I dislike these guys.
**[15:59] Sawamura**
And what if you lose?
**[16:02] Kageyama**
We'll endure any penalty.
**[16:04] Sawamura**
Hmm...
***SIGN*** Club Application
**[16:06] Sawamura**
Then now's the time.
**[16:07] Sawamura**
There are two other first-year
applicants besides you guys.
**[16:11] Sawamura**
It'll be a three-on-three
match against them.
**[16:15] Sawamura**
We always play this game every year,
**[16:18] ---**
just to see what the new members are made of.
**[16:21] Hinata**
But how does it become three-on-three?
**[16:23] Hinata**
Who's our other team member?
**[16:25] Sawamura**
Tanaka, I want you to be on Hinata's side.
**[16:28] Tanaka**
What? Me?
**[16:30] Sawamura**
You don't dislike them, right?
**[16:32] Tanaka**
That doesn't mean I want to play with them.
**[16:34] Sawamura**
I see. I thought you'd be
the only one here
**[16:37] Sawamura**
who could discipline these troublemakers.
**[16:41] Tanaka**
Oh, well! I guess it can't be helped.
**[16:43] Tanaka**
I'll do it.
**[16:46] Tanaka**
Aren't you glad?
**[16:47] Sawamura**
And if you lose the match,
as long as we third-years are here,
**[16:53] Sawamura**
Kageyama will never play setter.
**[16:57] Hinata**
That's all?
**[17:00] Sawamura**
That's because our team can't win
with a self-centered setter.
**[17:03] Sawamura**
A guy who banks on his skills, but loses.
**[17:07] Sawamura**
What's the matter?
**[17:08] ---**
I'm not ejecting you from the club.
**[17:11] Sawamura**
You'd be good in other positions, too,
wouldn't you?
**[17:15] Kageyama**
I'm a setter!
**[17:17] Sawamura**
Then win.
**[17:19] Sawamura**
You're here because you think
you can win by yourself, right?
**[17:23] Hinata**
I... I'm here, too!
**[17:25] Sawamura**
The game will be Saturday morning.
**[17:27] Hinata**
I... I'm here, too!
**[17:30] Tanaka**
Listen up!
Tanaka-senpai's gonna teach you a lesson.
**[17:33] Sawamura**
Understood?
**[17:38] Sugawara**
Are we being a little
too hard on those guys?
**[17:41] Tanaka**
That's true.
You're stricter than usual, Daichi-san.
**[17:45] Sugawara**
Do you have some special reason in mind?
**[17:49] Kageyama**
Dammit!
**[17:50] Hinata**
What? Are you mad because
you're gonna eat the penalty?
**[17:54] Hinata**
But even if you're not a setter,
I'm sure you'll be a regular soon enough.
**[18:00] Hinata**
And...
**[18:01] ---**
spikers are cooler than setters anyway.
**[18:04] Hinata**
Wham, like that!
**[18:07] Kageyama**
Bastard!
**[18:09] Kageyama**
The setter is the team's control tower!
**[18:11] Kageyama**
It's the setter that handles
the ball the most in a match.
**[18:15] Kageyama**
It's the most dominant role!
It's the coolest!
**[18:18] Hinata**
Huh?
**[18:19] Kageyama**
And your favorite, the spike.
**[18:20] Kageyama**
You can't shoot without the setter.
**[18:23] Hinata**
But setter looks difficult,
and it's not very flashy...
**[18:30] Kageyama**
You... Have you ever seen
a huge tournament live?
**[18:33] Hinata**
I haven't.
**[18:35] Kageyama**
It's hard to tell from the angles
they show on TV,
**[18:38] Kageyama**
but if you watch from the
end side of the court,
**[18:40] Kageyama**
you can see the setter's
super-fast toss really well.
**[18:44] Kageyama**
Zoom. From one end of the court to the other.
**[18:47] Kageyama**
The ball goes past the enemy's block.
**[18:50] Kageyama**
You think to yourself,
"Hey! Can they really return that?"
**[18:54] Kageyama**
But before the toss,
the spiker jumps, and hits it.
**[18:58] Kageyama**
Wham! Like that.
**[19:00] Hinata**
O-Oh...
**[19:02] Kageyama**
Sure, spikers are cool. But...
**[19:07] Kageyama**
But the setter tricks the enemy blockers.
**[19:09] Kageyama**
The setter tears down walls for the spiker.
**[19:11] Kageyama**
It's difficult, it's cool, it's
fun, and that's the setter!
**[19:16] Hinata**
I understand why now you want to be setter.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Kageyama will never play setter.
**[19:22] Kageyama**
Damn... why is that?
**[19:25] Hinata**
All you have to do is win.
**[19:27] Hinata**
You were full of confidence taking
on the senpais, weren't you?
**[19:30] Kageyama**
*That's right. I can't get anxious.*
**[19:33] Kageyama**
*I can't rely on this guy,*
**[19:34] ---**
*but I can send tosses to that second-year guy.*
**[19:37] Kageyama**
Hey. We better do something about that
sorry receive of yours by Saturday.
**[19:41] Hinata**
Sorry? Well, but we can't use the gym.
**[19:48] Tanaka**
Oh, yes.
**[19:49] ---**
Morning practice is at 7:00 AM tomorrow, right?
**[19:52] Sugawara**
Of course, but why did you
ask that all of a sudden?
**[19:55] Tanaka**
Oh, uh, well...
**[19:57] ---**
Was the vice principal's wig okay?
**[19:59] Sawamura**
Hey, stop talking about that!
**[20:02] Hinata**
Tomorrow...
**[20:05] Kageyama**
5:00 AM.
**[20:06] Hinata**
Don't be late.
**[20:07] Kageyama**
You don't be late.
**[20:14] Hinata**
My bag! I forgot my bag!
**[20:22] Hinata**
Just as I was afraid of... it's locked.
**[20:26] Kageyama**
Then find a window you can get in from.
**[20:27] Hinata**
We'll get in trouble if we're
caught. Are you stupid?
**[20:30] Tanaka**
5:00 AM sure is rough.
**[20:33] Hinata**
Tanaka-san?
**[20:35] Tanaka**
Get out of here before 7:00 AM.
**[20:39] Hinata**
Tanaka-san!
**[20:41] Kageyama**
Thanks!
**[20:42] Tanaka**
What a good senpai I am.
Call me Tanaka-senpai.
**[20:46] Hinata & Kageyama**
Tanaka-senpai.
**[20:48] Tanaka**
Once again.
**[20:49] Hinata & Kageyama**
Tanaka-senpai.
**[20:53] Tanaka**
Alright. Time to practice.
**[20:56] (Flashback) Tanaka**
That's true. You're stricter
than usual, Daichi-san.
**[21:00] (Flashback) Sugawara**
Do you have some special reason in mind?
**[21:04] (Flashback) Sawamura**
You guys saw their match last year.
**[21:08] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Kageyama had outstanding ability
as a junior-high student,
**[21:13] (Flashback) Sawamura**
but his ability hasn't yielded any results.
**[21:15] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Plus, he's self-centered, which means
**[21:17] (Flashback) ---**
he'll repeat the same mistakes as in junior high.
**[21:19] (Flashback) Sawamura**
He'll get in the way of the team for sure.
**[21:22] (Flashback) Sawamura**
But what's different from junior high...
**[21:24] (Flashback) Sawamura**
is that Hinata is on the
same team now with Kageyama.
**[21:28] Tanaka**
Hinata? Well, he's sort of a ball
of athletic reflexes, but...
**[21:33] Sawamura**
Yeah. He's far removed from
his true potential,
**[21:37] Sawamura**
but he has rare speed and
reflexes, and his jump...
**[21:41] Sawamura**
He didn't get the chance to play
with a setter in junior high.
**[21:45] Sawamura**
And Kageyama is seeking a fast spiker
who can hit his tosses.
**[21:50] Sawamura**
Those guys are imperfect
on their own,
**[21:52] Sawamura**
but put their abilities together...
**[22:00] Sawamura**
If we can utilize that combination,
**[22:04] Sawamura**
Karasuno will evolve explosively.
**[22:08] Sawamura**
Don't you agree?
**[22:11] Hinata**
Cut it out! I'm going first.
**[22:13] Kageyama**
Tanaka-san is in there. He was first.
**[22:16] Hinata**
If that's what you think, move.
**[22:18] Tanaka**
Hey. There's no time...
**[22:22] Tanaka**
* These bastards have more problems*
* than teamwork...*
**[22:27] Hinata**
Oh, the gymnasium.
**[22:30] Tanaka**
You were here yesterday.
**[22:32] Hinata**
*The Little Giant practiced here, too.*
**[22:37] ---**
*All right.*
**[22:39] Hinata**
Let's do this!

**[24:13] Kageyama**
Damn, I'm off to a terrible start
because of that Hinata.
**[24:15] Hinata**
That's because you said you wanted
to do it all by yourself.
**[24:18] Kageyama**
I'd rather do it alone than with you.
**[24:20] Hinata**
That's the wrong attitude—
**[24:21] Tanaka**
Hey, you didn't get up early just to fight!
**[24:24] Hinata & Kageyama**
Hey.

**[00:07] Kageyama**
Hey, your feet stopped short!
**[00:10] Kageyama**
What happened to your serving and
receiving reflexes from yesterday?
**[00:12] Kageyama**
You need to focus!
**[00:14] Hinata**
All I'm doing is receiving...
**[00:17] Hinata**
There's not much time left!
**[00:18] ---**
I want to spike, too!
I want to jump, too!
**[00:20] Kageyama**
Go jump around, then!
**[00:21] Tanaka**
Hey, you guys.
**[00:23] Tanaka**
I should give you fair warning.
**[00:25] Tanaka**
Daichi-san is usually gentle,
**[00:28] Tanaka**
but he's extremely scary when he gets angry.
**[00:29] Tanaka**
I mean extremely.
**[00:33] Hinata & Kageyama**
We know.
**[00:35] Tanaka**
It won't be good if he finds out
about this morning practice.
**[00:37] Tanaka**
It won't be good for me.
**[00:39] Tanaka**
It's not that I'm scared or anything.
**[00:41] Tanaka**
Absolutely not. Absolutely not at all.
**[00:45] Tanaka**
But anyway, the three of
us here are the only ones
**[00:48] Tanaka**
that know about this morning
practice, so make sure that you...
**[00:51] Sugawara**
Morning practice, huh? I knew it.
**[00:53] Tanaka**
Suga-san.
**[00:54] Sugawara**
Hey.
**[00:55] Tanaka**
But why...
**[00:56] Hinata**
*He's a third-year.*
**[00:57] Sugawara**
Because you were obviously weird yesterday.
**[01:00] Sugawara**
You're always barely on time,
but you voluntarily
**[01:02] Sugawara**
asked to be in charge of opening the lock.
**[01:05] Tanaka**
Oh... ah...
**[01:06] Sugawara**
Don't worry, don't worry.
I won't tell Daichi.
**[01:09] Sugawara**
This is like secret training or something.
**[01:11] ---**
It's kind of thrilling.
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Episode 3: The Formidable Ally
**[02:48] Tanaka**
Come and get it!
**[02:49] Tanaka**
Good, that was excellent.
**[02:52] Sugawara**
Hinata, don't get distracted.
**[02:54] Hinata**
I want to hit the ball, too.
Send me a toss, too.
**[02:59] Hinata**
Tossing's your favorite, right?
Send me a toss, too.
**[03:05] Hinata**
Just one.
**[03:06] Sugawara**
Hey, Hinata...
**[03:06] Hinata**
Just try me out, once. Okay?
**[03:09] Kageyama**
I refuse.
**[03:12] Hinata**
What is this? Stinginess?
**[03:13] Tanaka**
That's right, that's right.
**[03:19] Kageyama**
That came straight at you from front.
**[03:21] Kageyama**
Tossing and attacking happen
only if there's a reception.
**[03:23] Kageyama**
Which you're too slow to even do,
so don't talk cocky.
**[03:26] Kageyama**
For the three-on-three match this Saturday,
**[03:28] Kageyama**
I'll make every effort to give
Tanaka-san all the tosses.
**[03:31] Kageyama**
Let Tanaka-san do the attacking.
**[03:33] ---**
You do your best to not get in our way.
**[03:39] Hinata**
When I can receive well enough,
you'll send me tosses, too?
**[03:45] Kageyama**
I'll toss to anyone who's
essential to winning.
**[03:49] Kageyama**
Right now, I don't think
you're essential to winning.
**[03:55] Tanaka**
Gutsy!
**[03:56] Sugawara**
What's it take to toss him
a few here and there?
**[03:59] Kageyama**
It's getting to be that time.
We'd better clean up.
**[04:01] Tanaka**
Crap. Hurry!
Erase all evidence!
**[04:04] Sugawara**
Tanaka, get a mop!
**[04:04] Hinata**
Damn it...
**[04:05] Tanaka**
Yes.
**[04:06] Hinata**
Damn it...
**[04:23] Sugawara**
Hinata, drop your waist,
**[04:26] ---**
and hit it like you're sending it right back
in the direction it came from.
**[04:29] Hinata**
Yes.
**[04:30] Sugawara**
Here goes.
**[04:32] Hinata**
Oh, that was a good one.
**[04:34] Sugawara**
Hey, Hinata.
**[04:36] Sugawara**
You want me to toss to you,
starting tomorrow morning?
**[04:39] Hinata**
Really? You will?
**[04:41] Sugawara**
I'm the official setter
of Karasuno, you know.
**[04:44] Sugawara**
You want to practice spiking, right?
**[04:46] Hinata**
Oh, yes. I love spiking.
**[04:50] Hinata**
It feels great when it works,
and it's awesome!
**[04:54] Sugawara**
Sounds like you got some spiking memories.
**[04:57] Hinata**
Yes. All three years in junior high
there was no setter or anything.
**[05:00] Hinata**
I was the only club member.
**[05:03] Hinata**
My friends in the basketball
club would toss for me.
**[05:08] (Flashback) Izumi**
Yikes, I'm sorry. I didn't
mean for it to go there.
**[05:11] Hinata**
Even after club activities,
I had first-years,
**[05:14] Hinata**
mothers, setters from the girls'
team throw tosses to me...
**[05:20] Hinata**
We got along well and
we're friends, but still,
**[05:22] Hinata**
they weren't really teammates.
**[05:28] Hinata**
That's why I used to wonder what kind
of setter I'd have in high school.
**[05:31] (Flashback) Kageyama**
You're lousy as shit.
**[05:33] Hinata**
I was looking forward to it...
**[05:34] (Flashback) Kageyama**
You suck.
**[05:36] Hinata**
...before I got here.
**[05:37] Sugawara**
Like I said, I'm a setter.
I'll toss to you.
**[05:44] Hinata**
But if you tossed to me...
**[05:49] Hinata**
I'd kinda feel like I've lost.
**[05:54] Sugawara**
Hinata, why do you insist
on getting in Kageyama's face?
**[05:57] Sugawara**
Personally, I try to avoid confronting guys
who are stronger than me.
**[06:03] Hinata**
At the junior high tournament...
**[06:05] Hinata**
he was so much better and taller than me.
**[06:10] Hinata**
He was so strong.
**[06:13] Hinata**
It was horrible when
he stood in front of me.
**[06:16] Sugawara**
I understand how that must feel.
**[06:18] Hinata**
I came to Karasuno because I was
going to beat Kageyama.
**[06:23] Sugawara**
I see. But, Hinata, is beating Kageyama
all you want out of volleyball?
**[06:29] Hinata**
Oh... um...
**[06:31] Kageyama**
*He's practicing through his lunch break?*
**[06:33] Hinata**
I just want to become strong
enough to defeat Kageyama.
**[06:36] Hinata**
If I can do that, I'll be on even
ground with any strong opponent.
**[06:41] Hinata**
I wouldn't be easy to beat in a match.
**[06:44] Hinata**
I don't want to lose any more.
**[06:47] Sugawara**
I see...
**[06:49] Sugawara**
So, in other words, Kageyama is the best player
in your grade level, as far as you know.
**[06:57] Hinata**
Y-Yes...
**[07:01] Sugawara**
*He sure doesn't like admitting it.*
**[07:04] Sugawara**
But if he was your
most formidable opponent,
**[07:06] Sugawara**
now he's your most formidable ally.
**[07:11] (Flashback) Kageyama**
I don't think you're essential to winning.
**[07:16] Sugawara**
All right, let's do some receiving.
**[07:18] Hinata**
All right.
**[07:23] Hinata**
Thanks for taking out the trash.
**[07:30] Sawamura**
One, two, three, four.
**[07:33] Team**
Five, six, seven, eight.
**[07:36] Sawamura**
Two, two, three, four.
**[07:39] Team**
Five, six, seven, eight.
**[07:42] Sawamura**
All right. One, two, three, four.
**[07:46] Team**
Five, six, seven, eight.
**[07:49] Sawamura**
Two, two, three, four.
**[07:52] Team**
Five, six, seven, eight.
**[07:58] Kageyama**
Let's go.
**[07:59] Hinata**
Hey. Where are you going?
**[08:02] Kageyama**
We can't handle the
ball freely in there.
**[08:05] Kageyama**
I found a place we can practice.
**[08:08] Hinata**
Where?
**[08:09] Hinata**
Good job, Kageyama! Well done.
**[08:11] Kageyama**
Don't be condescending.
**[08:13] Hinata**
Don't get mad at every little thing.
**[08:37] Sawamura**
You guys sound sleepy.
**[08:40] Sugawara**
Oh, y-you think so?
Maybe I studied too much.
**[08:43] Tanaka**
M-Me, too. I studied...
**[08:45] Sugawara**
Nobody will buy that from you!
**[08:47] Tanaka**
Huh?
**[08:47] Tsukishima**
Excuse me.
**[08:49] Sawamura**
Hey, you made it.
**[08:51] Sawamura**
These are the first-year
students who'll be joining us.
**[08:53] Sawamura**
New club members were supposed
to be introduced next week,
**[08:56] Sawamura**
but we're having a match this Saturday,
**[08:56] Narita**
They're big.
**[08:57] ---**
that'll be the true test of your skills.
**[08:57] Ennoshita**
Yeah.
**[09:00] Tsukishima & Yamaguchi**
Pleased to meet you.
**[09:04] Background**
Fight...
**[09:06] Kageyama**
Don't just use your hands.
Move your feet.
**[09:09] Kageyama**
Come on. You need to concentrate.
**[09:12] Hinata**
I know that.
**[09:14] Hinata**
We'll win this Saturday,
be allowed into the gym,
**[09:18] Hinata**
and join this club for real.
**[09:21] Hinata**
But you, on the other hand,
can't play setter unless you win.
**[09:24] Kageyama**
If you know that, then concentrate!
**[09:32] Hinata**
I said to take it easy
when we practice outside.
**[09:36] Kageyama**
All you have to do is receive properly.
**[09:38] Hinata**
Whatever, King.
**[09:42] Kageyama**
Hey.
**[09:44] Hinata**
*Crap.*
**[09:49] Hinata**
*What's the matter with him?*
**[09:51] ---**
*He gets mad every time I call him "King."*
**[09:54] Hinata**
*It's a cool nickname, you know.*
**[09:56] Hinata**
* I wonder if I could have*
* a cool nickname, too.*
**[09:59] Hinata**
*Like "Little Giant" or something.*
**[10:01] Hinata**
* "Wind of a fast wind."*
* That has "wind" twice...*
**[10:06] Hinata**
* "The forest's—"*
* That doesn't work.*
**[10:09] Hinata**
*"The jet black—" Um...*
**[10:11] Hinata**
*"The one who descended from the northeast—"*
**[10:13] Kageyama**
Hey, let's get back to it.
**[10:15] Hinata**
I wonder what our first-year
opponents are like.
**[10:19] Hinata**
They'll be better than
playing against our senpais.
**[10:21] Kageyama**
Who cares what they're like?
**[10:23] Kageyama**
There's no choice for me but to win.
**[10:26] Hinata**
That's what I was going to say.
**[10:30] Hinata**
Don't click your tongue.
**[10:31] Hinata**
Let's do this.
**[10:35] Kageyama**
Hey. You don't receive with your face.
**[10:40] Tanaka**
There's something I don't like about
those newbie first-years...
**[10:43] Sugawara**
You don't like anyone you
meet for the first time.
**[10:47] Sugawara**
You know. That's your personality, right?
**[10:49] Tanaka**
My personality?
**[10:51] Sugawara**
But those guys sure were beyond expectations.
**[10:54] Sugawara**
Are you going to be okay
in the match on Saturday?
**[10:56] Tanaka**
O-Of course. I'm on the team, after all.
**[11:01] Sugawara**
That's true. There's Kageyama, too.
***SIGN*** Equipment Room
**[11:04] Sugawara**
But don't you think Kageyama's
mellowed out since junior high?
**[11:08] Tanaka**
What? How has he mellowed out at all?
**[11:10] Tanaka**
The guy's cocky as shit.
**[11:11] Sugawara**
Well... it's like when he was in junior high,
**[11:14] ---**
he had this unwavering confidence.
**[11:16] Sugawara**
Like he was an unprecedented
phenomenon or something.
**[11:20] Tanaka**
Either way he's cocky as hell.
**[11:23] Sugawara**
Sorry, sorry.
**[11:24] ---**
I shouldn't have asked you that.
**[11:26] Tanaka**
Huh?
**[11:37] Hinata**
One...
**[11:39] Hinata**
One more.
**[11:41] Kageyama**
Here goes.
**[11:42] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[11:44] Kageyama**
Go.
**[11:45] Kageyama**
The back.
**[11:46] Hinata**
Got it.
**[11:49] Tsukishima**
Wow, they're really doing this outside.
**[11:53] Tsukishima**
Are you the first-years that stirred
up trouble on the first day?
**[11:57] Yamaguchi**
Tee-shirts? Chilly.
**[11:59] Hinata**
*H-Huge...*
**[12:02] Hinata**
Give it back.
**[12:03] Tsukishima**
Isn't it time for elementary
school boys to go home?
**[12:08] Hinata**
Who are you guys anyway?
**[12:10] Kageyama**
You're the other first-years joining the club?
**[12:12] Hinata**
Hey.
**[12:13] Kageyama**
*He's got height...*
**[12:14] Hinata**
I was talking here.
**[12:15] Kageyama**
You, how tall are you?
**[12:16] Hinata**
Hey.
**[12:17] Yamaguchi**
Tsukki is 188 cm.
**[12:20] Yamaguchi**
He'll be 190 soon.
**[12:22] Hinata**
190?
**[12:23] Tsukishima**
What are you bragging about, Yamaguchi?
**[12:26] Yamaguchi**
Sorry, Tsukki.
**[12:29] Tsukishima**
You're Kageyama of
Kitagawa Daiichi, aren't you?
**[12:32] Tsukishima**
What's an elite like you doing in Karasuno?
**[12:35] Kageyama**
Huh?
**[12:37] Hinata**
Hey.
**[12:39] Hinata**
We won't lose this Saturday, you hear me?
**[12:48] Tsukishima**
Oh, I see.
**[12:50] Tsukishima**
It might be an important match for you two,
**[12:53] Tsukishima**
but it doesn't matter to me at all.
**[12:56] Tsukishima**
I'm not worried about winning or losing,
so if you two really need to win,
**[13:02] Tsukishima**
I can go easy on you if you like.
**[13:03] Hinata**
What?
**[13:06] Kageyama**
Whether you go easy or give it your all,
the bottom line is I will win.
**[13:11] Hinata**
You mean "we."
**[13:13] Tsukishima**
Amazing confidence. I expect
nothing less of the "King."
**[13:18] Kageyama**
Hey. Don't call me that.
**[13:20] Tsukishima**
So it is true.
**[13:21] Kageyama**
What?
**[13:22] Tsukishima**
The rumor that he loses it when
he's called the "King of the Court."
**[13:26] Tsukishima**
What's wrong with "King"? It's cool.
**[13:29] Tsukishima**
I think it suits you perfectly, "King."
**[13:31] Hinata**
*This is out of my hands.*
**[13:33] Kageyama**
What do you want from me, dude?
**[13:42] Tsukishima**
I watched the prefecture
preliminary tournament.
**[13:45] Tsukishima**
That was some egocentric tossing.
**[13:47] Tsukishima**
I can't believe your teammates tolerated it,
because I just couldn't.
**[13:51] Tsukishima**
Oh!
**[13:52] ---**
I guess what happened was because
they couldn't tolerate it any more, either.
**[14:00] Yamaguchi**
Tsukki.
**[14:06] Hinata**
*What's going on?*
**[14:07] Hinata**
*I don't know what they're talking about,*
**[14:10] Hinata**
* but why is he holding*
* back on this creepy guy?*
**[14:13] Hinata**
* Tell him off like you usually would.*
* Say something back at him.*
**[14:18] Kageyama**
Let's go.
**[14:20] Hinata**
Um... hey.
**[14:21] Tsukishima**
Running away?
**[14:23] Tsukishima**
I guess the King isn't what
he's cracked up to be.
**[14:26] Tsukishima**
Maybe I'll win against
the King this Saturday, too.
**[14:33] Hinata**
Shut up with the "King" crap.
**[14:36] Hinata**
I'm here, too.
**[14:38] Tsukishima**
I'll spike the ball over
your head at the match.
**[14:41] Tsukishima**
Huh?
**[14:43] Hinata**
W-What? Hey.
**[14:45] Hinata**
You wanna fight, bastard?
**[14:49] Tsukishima**
Let's not get so intense.
**[14:51] Tsukishima**
Let's do this cheerfully, for fun.
**[14:54] Tsukishima**
It's only a club activity, after all.
**[14:56] Hinata**
What do you mean "only"?
**[14:58] Tsukishima**
I mean, literally.
**[14:59] Tsukishima**
See you later.
**[15:01] Hinata**
Hey, you! Stop!
**[15:02] Hinata**
Who are you guys?
**[15:05] Tsukishima**
First-year class-4, Tsukishima Kei.
**[15:08] Yamaguchi**
I'm Yamaguchi Tadashi.
**[15:10] Tsukishima**
We're your teammates starting today.
**[15:12] Tsukishima**
But enemies for now.
**[15:15] Tsukishima**
Looking forward to seeing the King's tosses.
**[15:18] Yamaguchi**
See ya.
**[15:21] Hinata**
Man, those guys totally give me the creeps.
**[15:24] Hinata**
We'll pummel them to the ground.
**[15:26] Kageyama**
I don't need you to tell me that.
**[15:29] Hinata**
Hey, where are you going?
**[15:31] Kageyama**
Huh?
**[15:32] Hinata**
We're not done yet.
**[15:38] Yamaguchi**
Tsukki, wait up. Is something the matter?
**[15:41] Tsukishima**
Guys that are intense for
no reason get on my nerves.
**[15:45] Tsukishima**
That King...
**[15:47] ---**
and that Shrimp...
**[15:56] Kageyama**
You get in position too slowly.
I told you to focus.
**[15:57] Sugawara**
How much longer are they going to do this?
**[15:59] Hinata**
I know that.
**[16:00] Tanaka**
Who knows?
**[16:02] ---**
I'm so sleepy I can't stand it.
**[16:07] (Flashback) Tsukishima**
King.
**[16:13] Hinata**
Hey, Kageyama.
**[16:14] ---**
It's too dark to see clearly.
Don't hit it so hard.
**[16:18] Kageyama**
Sorry.
**[16:22] Hinata**
*Scary. What's with that guy?*
**[16:24] ---**
*That's not an apologetic look.*
**[16:27] Hinata**
* His nerves have been on edge*
* since he met that big guy.*
**[16:31] Hinata**
*But if he doesn't toss at me, I can't spike.*
**[16:35] Hinata**
*I'll do my best receiving 'til I get a toss.*
**[16:38] Hinata**
All right. Do that again.
**[18:15] Kageyama**
* He couldn't handle*
* a ball like that before.*
**[18:19] Hinata**
Hey, don't go easy on me!
**[18:22] Kageyama**
You asked for it!
**[18:26] Tanaka**
Crap, I overslept.
**[18:28] Tanaka**
I'm tardy, I'm tardy.
I gotta hurry...
**[18:32] Tanaka**
Then, wham, I run into Kiyoko-san,
who's eating bread.
**[18:36] Tanaka**
I wish.
**[18:47] Tanaka**
How long have they been at it?
**[18:50] Sugawara**
It's been fifteen minutes since I got here.
**[18:53] Tanaka**
Fifteen minutes straight?
**[18:54] Tanaka**
What?
**[18:57] Kageyama**
* His great physical abilities make*
* up for his unskillful clumsiness.*
**[19:01] Kageyama**
*But...*
**[19:02] Kageyama**
You've reached your limit now!
**[19:04] Kageyama**
You can't go any further...
**[19:05] Hinata**
Not yet!
**[19:07] Hinata**
I haven't dropped the ball yet!
**[19:10] Kageyama**
Take that.
**[19:11] Tanaka**
Wow, bad character!
How's he supposed to get that?
**[19:14] Kageyama**
*Crap! I didn't mean that...*
**[19:15] Sugawara**
Hinata's athleticism has been
amazing since junior high.
**[19:19] Tanaka**
Huh?
**[19:20] Sugawara**
It's not just that, though.
**[19:22] Sugawara**
I feel like he has the fortitude
to become a winner.
**[19:27] Kageyama**
He has a different weapon,
other than a gifted physique
**[19:31] Kageyama**
or superior athleticism.
**[19:34] Kageyama**
*I can't take it any more.*
**[19:35] Kageyama**
*I want him to stop.*
**[19:37] Kageyama**
*And in the very moment I think that...*
**[19:40] Kageyama**
*one step.*
**[19:47] Tanaka**
He saved it. That's amazing, Hinata!
**[19:51] Kageyama**
* I'll toss to anyone who's*
* essential to winning.*
**[19:55] (Flashback) Kageyama**
But I don't think you're
essential to winning right now.
**[20:02] (Flashback) Hinata**
I don't want to lose any more.
**[20:06] (Flashback) Hinata**
I haven't lost yet.
**[20:15] Tanaka**
A toss?
**[20:16] Sugawara**
Kageyama tossed to him.
**[20:18] Tanaka**
Hinata is too worn out to spike it, though.
**[20:33] Sugawara**
He sure can jump.
**[20:36] Tanaka**
He recovered from being that worn out.
**[20:39] Tanaka**
And look how happy he is.
**[20:41] Sugawara**
I think that meant
something special to Hinata.
**[20:46] (Flashback) Hinata**
We got along so well and
we're friends, but still,
**[20:49] (Flashback) Hinata**
they weren't really teammates.
**[20:52] Sugawara**
We have the ball tossed by the setter.
**[20:55] ---**
That's something we take for granted.
**[20:58] Kageyama**
Hey.
**[21:01] Kageyama**
We're going to win tomorrow.
**[21:05] (Flashback) Sugawara**
But if he was your most formidable opponent...
**[21:09] Hinata**
*...now he's my most formidable ally.*
**[21:15] Hinata**
O-Of course we wi—
**[21:23] Sugawara**
Tanaka, get water, water! And a washrag!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Prefectural High School
**[21:44] Kageyama**
Wait up, you idiot!
**[21:49] Tanaka**
What's the point of getting
worn out before the match?
**[21:52] Tanaka**
You'd better rest up.
**[21:56] Hinata**
Damn... That was a draw.
**[21:59] Kageyama**
I won't ever lose to the likes of you.
**[22:02] Hinata**
But...
**[22:06] Hinata**
*He's irritating, and pisses me off...*
**[22:14] Hinata**
*He's going to send me tosses from now on.*
**[22:17] Hinata**
*Tosses from the setter!*
**[22:20] Hinata**
You and I are gonna win today.
**[22:25] Kageyama**
Let's get ready.
**[22:27] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[22:28] Tsukishima**
Morning, King.
**[22:35] Hinata**
*I'll...*
**[22:38] ---**
* break through any wall.*
* You'll see.*

Move faster!
**[00:22] Kageyama**
Jump higher!
**[00:24] Kageyama**
More! More! More!
**[00:34] Kageyama**
*Why?*
**[00:36] Kageyama**
*Why don't they jump?*
**[00:39] Kindaichi**
We're fed up with you.
**[00:41] Kindaichi**
You egocentric King.
**[00:56] Kiyoko**
Good morning.
**[00:59] Hinata**
The beautiful girl.
The beautiful girl is here.
**[01:01] Hinata**
Hey, hey. Is she the manager?
**[01:05] Sawamura**
All right. Let's get started.
**[01:07] Sawamura**
I'll be on Tsukishima's team.
**[01:10] Hinata**
What? You, Captain?
**[01:12] Sawamura**
Don't worry.
Tanaka's a better attacker than me.
**[01:16] Sawamura**
Though I won't go easy on you, either.
**[01:19] Tsukishima**
Um... that little one and Tanaka-san,
which one shall I crush—
**[01:24] Tsukishima**
I mean— block first?
**[01:27] Tsukishima**
Oh, yes, yes.
I'd like to see the King lose, too.
**[01:32] Yamaguchi**
Tsukki, they can hear you.
Watch it.
**[01:36] Tsukishima**
I'm saying it so they can hear it.
**[01:38] Tsukishima**
I sure hope they lose their cool.
**[01:41] Sawamura**
Tsukishima, you got character problems.
**[01:44] Tsukishima**
Our special feature is the King,
who's been abandoned by his underlings.
**[01:51] Tanaka**
Hey, hey.
**[01:53] ---**
Did you hear that?
**[01:54] Tanaka**
My, the things he says.
**[01:57] Tanaka**
Oh, that Tsukishima-kun,
I'm going to really...
**[02:03] Tanaka**
crush him to a pulp.
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!

**[03:42] Kinoshita**
He blew that big first-year
out of the water.
**[03:44] Hinata**
Awesome power! More than usual!
**[03:49] Sugawara**
Tanaka, shut up!
**[03:50] Ennoshita**
Showboating!
**[03:51] Kinoshita**
Don't take your shirt off!
**[03:52] Sawamura**
Maybe you shouldn't have razzed Tanaka.
**[03:58] Tanaka**
Okay!
**[03:59] Hinata**
*Me, too... Me, too...*
**[04:02] Kageyama**
Hinata.
**[04:03] Hinata**
*I get a toss, too...*
**[04:04] Hinata**
* This is my first high school match*
* and my first spike.*
**[04:11] Hinata**
*I'll score.*
**[04:18] Hinata**
*And yet again, even here...*
**[04:21] Hinata**
*there's a high, high wall.*
**[04:25] Tsukishima**
You surprised me the other day, too.
**[04:27] ---**
You sure can jump.
**[04:29] Tsukishima**
If only you were 30 centimeters taller,
you could've become a superstar.
**[04:35] Hinata**
*So he's tall! He's only one opponent.*
**[04:37] Hinata**
One more.
**[04:39] Hinata**
I'll score the next one.
**[04:43] Sugawara**
Blocked again.
***SIGN*** Kageyama-Hinata Tsukishima-Yamaguchi
**[04:45] Ennoshita**
How many is that now?
**[04:46] Yamaguchi**
Tsukki, nice!
**[04:47] Kinoshita**
Tanaka is scoring consistently, though.
**[04:48] ---**
Nice block, Tsukishima.
**[04:50] Hinata**
Damn...
**[04:51] ---**
Thank you.
**[04:52] Kageyama**
*This guy's better than I thought.*
**[04:55] Tsukishima**
Hey, there.
He's constantly getting blocked.
**[04:58] Tsukishima**
You should do the King's toss.
**[05:01] Tsukishima**
The toss that decimates his enemies...
**[05:03] Tsukishima**
and decimates his teammates, as well.
**[05:06] Kageyama**
Shut up.
**[05:08] Sawamura**
Yamaguchi, nice serve.
**[05:14] Yamaguchi**
Sorry, Tsukki.
**[05:16] Sawamura**
Don't mind. Don't mind.
**[05:19] Kageyama**
We don't need a speedy attack.
**[05:22] Kageyama**
We can win without it.
**[05:25] Hinata**
Go, killer serve.
**[05:27] Sugihara**
* Kageyama's jump-serve.*
* It was powerful...*
**[05:31] Kageyama**
*I'll rack the points up all at once.*
**[05:33] Kageyama**
Go.
**[05:36] Hinata**
Huh?
**[05:38] Tsukishima**
Yamaguchi.
**[05:38] Yamaguchi**
I got it, Tsukki.
**[05:42] Kageyama**
Damn it.
**[05:42] Kageyama**
Nice toss, Tsukki.
**[05:43] Tanaka**
Daichi-san's weapon is his solid receive.
**[05:46] Tanaka**
They've got serious defense.
**[05:48] Sawamura**
Did you think you'd score a few points?
**[05:51] Sawamura**
I don't have outstanding talent,
**[05:53] ---**
but I've been doing this
a couple years longer than you.
**[05:56] Sawamura**
My receive is well-integrated into my body.
**[05:59] Sawamura**
Don't think you can get past me that easily.
**[06:01] Hinata**
Awesome...
**[06:03] Tsukishima**
Hey, King.
**[06:05] Tsukishima**
Maybe you should start getting serious.
**[06:07] Hinata**
What's your problem?
**[06:09] ---**
You haven't stopped getting
in our faces since the other day.
**[06:11] Hinata**
What's this "King's toss"?
**[06:12] Tsukishima**
Don't you know why they call him "King"?
**[06:18] Hinata**
He's called that because he's so good
**[06:20] Hinata**
that guys at other schools are
intimidated by him, isn't that it?
**[06:25] Tsukishima**
I'm sure there are others
who think that's why.
**[06:29] Tsukishima**
However, his nickname of "King of the Court"
**[06:32] ---**
was given to him by the guys
of Kitagawa Daiichi.
**[06:36] Tsukishima**
By the teammates of the King.
**[06:39] Tsukishima**
What it means is...
**[06:40] Tsukishima**
He's the egocentric King.
**[06:42] Tsukishima**
The oppressive dictator.
**[06:44] Tsukishima**
I heard rumors, but I was convinced
when I saw that match.
**[06:49] Tsukishima**
He got too oppressive,
and had to sit out on the bench.

*We have to get past them somehow.*
**[07:08] Kageyama**
*We need a much faster attack...*
**[07:10] Kageyama**
*So fast it's unblockable.*
**[07:10] (Flashback) Player A**
Don't mind. Don't mind.

Nice serve!
**[07:17] (Flashback) Kageyama**
Right!
**[07:21] (Flashback) Kindaichi**
Are you kidding?
Your tosses are reckless.
**[07:24] (Flashback) Kindaichi**
What's the point if we can't spike them?
**[07:27] Kageyama**
* But we can't win if we don't*
* get past their blocks.*
**[07:32] Kageyama**
*Does it end here?*

*Is this where I lose?*

*No! I'm going to nationals.*

*And then, the first set.*
**[07:54] Kageyama**
*At the opponent's set point.*
**[07:56] Kageyama**
*Where I tossed...*
**[08:03] Kageyama**
*there was no one there.*

*We had a few mistakes that day,*
**[08:08] Kageyama**

*"We're not following you any more."*
**[08:20] (Flashback) Coach**
Kageyama.
**[08:22] (Flashback) Coach**
Go sit on the bench.
**[08:27] Tsukishima**
Do you not use your quick sets anymore
**[08:30] ---**
because you lost your nerve from that match?
**[08:35] Tanaka**
Dude. You've been yammering too much.
**[08:37] Sawamura**
Tanaka.
**[08:42] Tsukishima**
To make tosses just to have no one jump—
**[08:44] Kageyama**
You're right.
**[08:49] Kageyama**
The fact that I made a toss,
and no one was there...
**[08:53] Kageyama**
It's truly frightening.
**[08:57] Hinata**
But that was back in junior high, right?
**[09:02] Hinata**
You toss to me just fine.
**[09:04] ---**
It makes no difference to me.
**[09:08] Hinata**
The real problem for me is how
I'm going to get past you.
**[09:13] Hinata**
We'll win against Tsukishima,
become official club members,
**[09:16] Hinata**
and you will bravely play setter.
**[09:19] Hinata**
And you'll toss to me.
**[09:20] Hinata**
What else is there?
**[09:24] Tsukishima**
How pure and straightforward...
It's irritating.
**[09:32] Tsukishima**
You can't make up for height
by psyching yourself up.
**[09:34] Tsukishima**
If you believe effort alone will win out...
**[09:37] Tsukishima**
You're dead wrong.
**[09:40] Tanaka**
I got it.
**[09:41] Hinata**
Tanaka-san.
**[09:42] Hinata & Tanaka**
Toss it to me!
**[09:45] Kageyama**
*Who do I toss to?*
**[09:46] Kageyama**
*Hinata can't beat Tsukishima one-on-one...*
**[09:49] Kageyama**
Tanaka-san.
**[09:49] ---**
Kageyama!
**[09:54] Kageyama**
*There was...*
**[09:56] ---**
*no one there...*
**[09:58] Hinata**
I'm here.
**[10:07] Hinata**
That was close. I almost missed it.
**[10:10] Hinata**
It's out, though.
**[10:12] Kageyama**
What was that for?
**[10:13] Hinata**
But the ball came to me.
**[10:15] Hinata**
Forget about junior high.
**[10:17] Hinata**
I'll take any toss I can get. Gratefully.
**[10:21] Hinata**
I'll jump anywhere.
**[10:24] Hinata**
I'll hit any ball.
**[10:26] Hinata**
So...
**[10:28] Hinata**
Toss it to me!
**[10:49] Sugawara**
* I was sure Kageyama was*
* going to toss to Tanaka,*
**[10:53] Sugawara**
* but he instinctively responded*
* to Hinata's voice and motion instead.*
**[10:56] Sugawara**
*And made a perfectly accurate toss.*
**[11:00] Sugawara**
*For now, only his bad attitude stands out,*
**[11:04] Sugawara**
*but Kageyama is awesome, after all.*
**[11:06] Tanaka**
Hey guys, you know how to do quick attacks?
**[11:09] Hinata**
Quick attacks?
**[11:10] Tanaka**
A fast attack like the one you just did.
**[11:13] Hinata**
Not at all.
**[11:14] ---**
All I've ever spiked are balls
that get tossed high up.
**[11:17] Tanaka**
But you just did it.
**[11:19] Tanaka**
And when you were in junior high,
I saw you spike
**[11:22] ---**
a missed toss by the beginner setter.
**[11:24] Tanaka**
That's what I mean.
**[11:25] Hinata**
Huh? But I don't remember how I did it.
**[11:29] Hinata**
But I'll spike any toss.
**[11:32] Hinata**
I'll spike it, got it?
**[11:35] Kageyama**
We've never gotten coordinated.
A fast attack is impossible.
**[11:39] Hinata**
*Did he just say "impossible"?*
**[11:40] Hinata**
* Does this guy know the meaning*
* of the word "impossible"?*
**[11:43] Hinata**
There's something weird about you.
**[11:45] Hinata**
Your weakness is giving
me the creeps. It's weird!
**[11:47] Kageyama**
Shut up.
**[11:50] Tsukishima**
It's not like you, King.
**[11:53] Hinata**
I'll spike it past you. Wait and see!
**[11:55] Tsukishima**
There you go again, getting all pissed off.
**[11:58] Tsukishima**
Just being reckless isn't
going to make things right.
**[12:03] Tsukishima**
Some people aren't cut out for some things.
**[12:05] Tsukishima**
Clearly, you're not
cut out to be a spiker.
**[12:10] Hinata**
That's true.
**[12:12] ---**
Even when I was in junior high,
**[12:13] Hinata**
I would jump and jump,
but I kept getting blocked.
**[12:19] Hinata**
Height is needed for volleyball.
**[12:22] Hinata**
No matter how high I jump,
**[12:23] ---**
I can't get past their overwhelming height.
**[12:27] Hinata**
But...
**[12:29] Hinata**
I know I want to become like that.
**[12:33] Hinata**
So I don't care if I'm cut out for it or not.
**[12:38] Hinata**
I'm going to do battle with this body,
**[12:40] Hinata**
win and win,
**[12:41] ---**
and be on the court as long as I can.
**[12:52] Hinata**
*No...*
**[12:54] Kageyama**
*...I want to be...*
**[12:56] Hinata & Kageyama**
*...on the court as long as I can!*
**[13:03] Tsukishima**
But you don't have what it takes.
**[13:06] Tsukishima**
This isn't a matter of psychology.
**[13:08] Tsukishima**
You can't make up for height with feelings.
**[13:11] Tsukishima**
If you could play libero,
that would be a different matter.
**[13:13] Hinata**
*Toss to me! Bring it on!*
**[13:21] Kageyama**
To break the wall in front of the spiker...
**[13:27] Kageyama**
That's the setter's job.
**[13:35] Hinata**
Wh-What, Kageyama?
**[13:37] Hinata**
Ouch, let go. Let me go!
**[13:38] Tanaka**
Calm down, Kageyama!
**[13:41] Hinata**
What's the big idea—
**[13:42] Kageyama**
Listen.
**[13:44] Kageyama**
If you can't spike it, avoid it.
**[13:46] Kageyama**
Use every ounce
of physical ability you have.
**[13:48] Kageyama**
Use your reflexes and spike my tosses.
**[13:50] Tanaka**
Huh? That's how you
explain a fast attack?
**[13:52] Hinata**
Understood.
**[13:52] Tanaka**
Liar! You don't understand it!
**[13:55] Hinata & Kageyama**
We'll do it anyway.
**[13:56] Tanaka**
What got into you all of a sudden?
**[13:58] ---**
You were sniveling like a depressed little brat.
**[14:00] Kageyama**
I'm not depressed.
**[14:01] Tanaka**
Liar!
**[14:02] Hinata**
All right...
**[14:04] Hinata**
Let's do this.
**[14:06] Kageyama**
* With this guy's reflexes and speed,*
* I know he can spike a fast toss.*
**[14:12] Hinata**
*All right! Come on, toss.*
**[14:14] Hinata**
*Come anywhere.*
**[14:15] Yamaguchi**
Tsukki, nice serve.
**[14:16] Kageyama**
* We don't have signals yet,*
* but what the heck...*
**[14:20] Hinata**
*Okay. He's tossing that way.*
**[14:24] Tanaka**
Hinata.
**[14:25] Hinata**
*All right. That was a weaker
serve than Auntie Yoshida's.*
**[14:27] Hinata**
*Then, I'll jump this way...*
**[14:29] Hinata**
*Huh?*
**[14:34] Hinata**
*It's that fast?*
**[14:35] Kageyama**
Hey! What are you doing?
**[14:36] Kageyama**
You have to be faster—
**[14:39] Tsukishima**
And there it is, the King's toss.
**[14:42] Kageyama**
It's hard to get it right the first time.
**[14:44] Tsukishima**
I wonder.
**[14:50] Hinata**
All right. Got it.
**[14:53] Tanaka**
What is this, net fishing?
**[14:56] Hinata**
I don't know how to time it at all.
**[14:59] Kageyama**
You've got fast reflexes,
so go like "bah," like "gwah."
**[15:03] Hinata**
Is it "bah" or "gwah," which is it?
**[15:05] Tanaka**
That's not the important part!
**[15:07] Sugawara**
Kageyama.
**[15:10] Sugawara**
You're repeating what you did in junior high.
**[15:13] Sugawara**
Um...
**[15:15] Kageyama**
Hinata has the reflexes, speed,
and the springing power.
**[15:19] Kageyama**
If he gets used to it,
he can do fast attacks.
**[15:21] Sugawara**
But Hinata's weapon, which is his speed...
**[15:23] Sugawara**
your toss is killing it, don't you think?
**[15:27] Sugawara**
Hinata has no technique
and no experience.
**[15:30] Hinata**
Sugawara-san.
**[15:31] Sugawara**
He's not an outstanding player
who can match your ability.
**[15:36] Sugawara**
But his potential is tops.
**[15:38] Hinata**
Oh, don't call me a genius or anything.
That's an exaggeration.
**[15:41] Tanaka**
He never said that.
**[15:43] Sugawara**
If you can do it...
**[15:45] Sugawara**
You need to synch with Hinata's style,
or his talent, or...
**[15:52] Sugawara**
Um...
**[15:53] Tanaka**
Suga-san, fight!
**[15:54] Sugawara**
You know, use them to
your advantage somehow.
**[16:00] Sugawara**
I'm a setter like you.
**[16:03] ---**
I watched you in last year's match,
and I was intimidated.
**[16:06] Sugawara**
By your extraordinary talent,
your ball control,
**[16:09] Sugawara**
and most of all...
**[16:11] Sugawara**
By your ability to calmly detect
your opponent's movements,
**[16:14] ---**
and your power to make quick decisions.
**[16:16] Sugawara**
I don't have any of those things.
**[16:19] Tanaka**
That's not true, Suga-sa—
**[16:20] Sawamura**
Tanaka. Listen to what he has to say.
**[16:24] Sugawara**
You have technique, and an
overwhelming amount of enthusiasm.
**[16:28] Sugawara**
Most importantly, you have an extraordinary
awareness of your surroundings.
**[16:32] Sugawara**
So there's no way you can't see
what your teammate is doing.
**[16:39] Kageyama**
*Somehow use them to my advantage?*
**[16:41] ---**
*What does that mean?*
**[16:43] (Flashback) Hinata**
But the ball still got tossed to me.
**[16:52] Kageyama**
I...
**[16:54] Kageyama**
I envy your athletic reflexes.
**[16:56] Hinata**
Huh?
**[16:57] Kageyama**
But you waste your treasure,
and that infuriates me.
**[17:00] Hinata**
Huh?
**[17:01] Kageyama**
So I'm going to use all of your abilities.
**[17:06] Tanaka**
What?
**[17:09] Kageyama**
Use your highest speed,
**[17:11] Kageyama**
and your highest jump.
**[17:14] Kageyama**
I'll bring the ball to you.
**[17:17] Hinata**
Bring the ball? What's that mean?
**[17:20] Kageyama**
Get to where there's no blocker
at your max speed, and jump.
**[17:25] ---**
Then spike with all your strength.
**[17:27] Kageyama**
You don't have to watch my toss.
**[17:29] Kageyama**
You don't have to synch with the ball.
**[17:31] Hinata**
What? But if I don't see the ball,
I'll end up spiking the air.
**[17:34] Kageyama**
Maybe so.
**[17:34] Hinata**
Hey!
**[17:35] Kageyama**
But I want to try this.
**[17:40] Hinata**
All right.
**[17:42] Tsukishima**
What's he going to try now?
**[17:44] Tsukishima**
No one can spike the King's egocentric toss.
**[17:47] Yamaguchi**
No kidding.
**[17:48] Sugawara**
*What's he going to do?*
**[17:50] ---**
* There's no way Hinata*
* can handle those tosses.*
***SIGN*** Kageyama-Hinata Tsukishima-Yamaguchi
**[17:55] Yamaguchi**
Nice serve! One point!
**[18:04] Tanaka**
*Amazing concentration.*
**[18:08] Kageyama**
*Watch. Watch.*
**[18:10] Kageyama**
*Where are the blockers?*
**[18:12] ---**
*Where's the ball?*
**[18:13] Kageyama**
*Where's the spiker?*
**[18:15] Kageyama**
*How will they move?*
**[18:17] Kageyama**
*Where will they jump?*
**[18:18] Kageyama**
*How high can this guy jump?*
**[18:22] Kageyama**
*Now.*
**[18:23] Kageyama**
*This position. This timing, this angle.*
**[18:29] Kageyama**
Good.
**[18:33] Hinata**
My hand...
**[18:35] ---**
It hit my hand!
**[18:38] Tsukishima**
He's so over the top.
**[18:39] Sawamura**
Hey.
**[18:41] Sawamura**
Hinata's eyes were closed just then.
**[18:44] All**
What?
**[18:46] Tsukishima**
Um... what?
**[18:48] Sawamura**
From the moment he jumped
up until he spiked,
**[18:51] ---**
Hinata had his eyes closed.
**[18:54] Sawamura**
That means Kageyama tossed it
directly into Hinata's palm
**[18:58] ---**
when he wasn't even looking.
**[19:00] Sawamura**
He synched the toss to the moment
he'd swing, with total accuracy.
**[19:07] Hinata**
Awesome. Awesome.
**[19:09] Hinata**
Hey, what was that? What was that?
**[19:10] Hinata**
It hit my hand. Right then. Hey.
**[19:13] Kageyama**
Hey, you!
**[19:15] ---**
Why did you have your eyes closed?
**[19:17] Hinata**
You told me not to watch the ball.
**[19:19] Hinata**
When my eyes are open,
I can't help but watch the ball.
**[19:22] Kageyama**
I said that, but...
**[19:24] Hinata**
It worked though, right?
**[19:26] Hinata**
What's wrong with that?
**[19:27] Kageyama**
Sure, but who trusts anyone 100 percent?
**[19:31] Hinata**
Well, I have no choice but
to trust you right now.
**[19:36] (Flashback) Kageyama**
You're lousy as shit.
**[19:39] (Flashback) Kageyama**
What were you doing
for the last three years?
**[19:42] Kageyama**
*This guy's spring, his mobility...*
**[19:42] Tanaka**
You're awesome, man!
**[19:46] Tanaka**
What the heck was that, anyway? Hey!
**[19:46] Kageyama**
*I can enhance them with my toss!*
**[19:49] Kageyama**
All right. If Hinata's spike scores,
the marks will even out,
**[19:53] Kageyama**
which makes it easier
for Tanaka-san to spike, too.
**[19:55] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[19:55] Tanaka**
All right.
**[19:56] Kageyama**
I don't have any faith in us whatsoever,
**[20:01] Kageyama**
but I'll keep bringing the ball to you.
**[20:04] Kageyama**
Just trust me, and jump.
**[20:09] Kageyama**
*Right there.*
**[20:12] Kageyama**
Sorry.
**[20:14] Ennoshita**
I wonder if that last one was pure luck...
**[20:16] Sugawara**
The precision of his tosses
is definitely getting higher.
**[20:19] Ennoshita**
You think so?
**[20:21] Sugawara**
Yeah.
**[20:21] Ennoshita**
Here, Hinata.
**[20:22] Kageyama**
*Darn... that was too far from the net.*
**[20:23] Hinata**
Oh, thank you very much.
**[20:26] Kageyama**
*This isn't so easy after all...*
**[20:28] Kageyama**
*Watching the court at once is hard...*
**[20:29] Kageyama**
Are you okay?
**[20:31] Kageyama**
Yes!
**[20:33] Kageyama**
*But...*
**[20:34] Kageyama**
*This is fun.*
**[20:35] Hinata**
What're you smiling about?
**[20:37] Hinata**
That's the second time it hit my face.
**[20:40] Tsukishima**
I don't get it.
**[20:42] ---**
That last one must've been sheer luck.
**[20:44] Tsukishima**
Yet he keeps trying the same thing.
**[20:46] Sawamura**
But maybe Hinata will keep jumping
without watching the ball.
**[20:52] Hinata**
Did you do that on purpose?
**[20:52] Sawamura**
Truly, I don't get it either.
**[20:54] ---**
Don't you know we have to win?
**[20:54] Sawamura**
No one can trust someone 100 percent.
**[20:56] Kageyama**
Of course I know that, dolt.
**[20:59] Sawamura**
Not to mention your own rival.
**[21:03] Hinata**
Darn, this isn't working.
**[21:06] Hinata**
*But...*
**[21:07] Hinata**
*That sensation on my palm*
**[21:09] Hinata**
* and the heft of the ball*
* you feel in your hand...*
**[21:14] Hinata**
*I love how that feels.*
**[21:17] Hinata**
*Once more. Once more.*
**[21:20] Kageyama**
*Once more, carefully.*
**[21:22] Kageyama**
* The toss that shows the spiker's*
* greatest accuracy and power.*
**[21:27] Tanaka**
All right, I got it.
**[21:29] Kageyama**
Nice receive.
**[21:30] Tsukishima**
He'll toss to the Shrimp
and fail again.
**[21:32] Tsukishima**
He should mark Tanaka-san instead.
**[21:36] Tsukishima**
You come here, too!
**[21:38] Hinata**
*The wall...*
**[21:40] (Flashback) Kageyama**
Listen.
**[21:41] (Flashback) Kageyama**
If you can't spike it,
**[21:43] Hinata**
*avoid it.*
**[21:48] Hinata**
*If I can't be as tall as the other players,*
**[21:51] Hinata**
* then by even one centimeter,*
* one millimeter,*
**[21:53] Hinata**
*or even one second faster,*
**[21:56] Hinata**
*I'll reach the summit.*
**[21:57] Hinata**
*Then, in that very moment...*
**[22:01] Hinata**
*I'll be at the highest place.*
**[22:04] Hinata**
*A tall, tall wall looms in front of me.*
**[22:08] Hinata**
*What's the view on the other side?*
**[22:11] Hinata**
*What does it look like?*
**[22:13] Hinata**
*It's a view I could never see on my own.*
**[22:18] Hinata**
*That's...*
**[22:23] Hinata**
*The view from the summit.*
**[22:40] Hinata & Kageyama**
All right!

**[24:13] Tanaka**
Hey, hey, hey.
**[24:14] ---**
It's not possible to spike
with your eyes closed.
**[24:16] Tsukishima**
I don't get it.
**[24:18] Sugawara**
*This is kind of becoming amazing.*
**[24:20] Hinata**
Bring the next one to me!
**[24:22] Kageyama**
Don't get carried away.

Again.

Another point!
**[00:29] Kino**
They've turned it around.
***SIGN*** Kageyama-Hinata Tsukishima-Yamaguchi
**[00:31] Kino**
One more point and
they'll take the first set.
**[00:35] Suga**
His tosses get more accurate every time.
**[00:39] Suga**
* We're seeing Kageyama's*
* true abilities as a setter.*
**[00:43] Hi/Ta**
Score.
**[00:45] Tanaka**
That was awesome, man.
**[00:47] Suga**
*But the one who pulled it all out of him...*
**[00:49] Suga**
*...was Hinata.*
**[00:51] Hinata**
Scored again!

*He sure hung in there...*
**[02:32] Suga**
* I've never seen anyone take*

**[02:36] Tsuki**
You're not scoring any more.
**[02:43] Tanaka**
Come to me!
**[02:48] Enno**
He's untouchable when he spikes free.
**[02:53] Tsuki**
Damn.
**[02:55] Tanaka**
How do you like me now, Tsukishima?
**[02:58] Tanaka**
Weren't you going to crush me and Hinata?
**[03:01] Hinata**
Yeah! Yeah!
**[03:02] Tanaka**
Try it if you can!
**[03:04] Hinata**
If you can!
**[03:07] Suga**
Why are you bragging the most, Tanaka?
**[03:11] Enno**
That's right. You're scoring
thanks to the first-years.
**[03:14] Suga**
You have a big attitude.
**[03:15] Kino**
Don't take off your shirt, baldie.
**[03:16] Tanaka**
Who's trash-talking me over there?!
**[03:21] Kino**
Frankly, if they can't stop
Kageyama and Hinata's attacks,
**[03:26] Kino**
Tsukishima's team is having a hard time.
They lack conviction.
**[03:33] Narita**
Starting the second set.
**[03:34] Tanaka**
Let's go.
**[03:36] Hin/Kag**
Right.

**[04:08] Kino**
Kageyama is amazing,
**[04:11] ---**
but it must be really taxing to keep
making such accurate tosses.
**[04:16] Enno**
Hinata's looking tired
from moving around so much.
**[04:20] Suga**
Yeah, but...
**[04:26] Hin/Kage**
Yes!
**[04:29] Suga**
I think they're having fun.
***SIGN*** Tsukishima-Yamaguchi Kageyama-Hinata
**[04:36] Suga**
Good job.
**[04:39] Tanaka**
D-Daichi-san, Suga-san,
**[04:42] Tanaka**
did you both know those
two could attack like that,
**[04:45] Tanaka**
when you said what you said?
**[04:47] Tanaka**
That's amazing!
**[04:48] Sawa/Suga**
Huh?
**[04:50] (Flashback) Sawamura**
If we can utilize that combination...
**[04:52] (Flashback) Sawamura**
Karasuno will make explosive improvement.
**[04:55] (Flashback) Suga**
Can't we use it to our advantage, somehow?
**[04:59] Suga**
Of course not.
**[05:01] Suga**
I just meant he should give Hinata tosses
he'd have no trouble spiking.
**[05:05] Sawa**
I thought maybe Hinata could get used
to Kageyama's somewhat reckless tosses...
**[05:12] Sawa**
But that isn't exactly what happened.
**[05:18] Sawa**
Well... I was sort of hoping for this,
**[05:23] Sawa**
but ended up with this.
**[05:26] Sawa**
Hinata is inexperienced, but he has
natural speed and jumping ability.
**[05:30] Sawa**
Then Kageyama perfectly utilizes
Hinata's abilities with his finely-honed skill.
**[05:35] Sawa**
The two of them bring out
the best in each other.
**[05:40] Hinata**
Why? We don't have to.
**[05:40] Sawa**
As a duo, they may exceed all expectations.
**[05:42] Hinata**
Yes, we do.
**[05:44] Hinata**
All right. Let's go.
**[05:46] Hinata**
Tsukishima.
**[05:51] Tsuki**
What?
**[05:52] Hinata**
We're supposed to shake hands
before and after a match.
**[05:55] Hinata**
Though we didn't do that at first today.
**[05:57] Hinata**
Besides, we're teammates now.
**[06:00] ---**
Though that doesn't make me happy.
**[06:04] Hinata**
Hurry up.
**[06:07] ---**
Don't you know?
**[06:08] Hinata**
They'll kick you out of the gym
if you don't show team spirit.
**[06:13] Tsuki**
The reason why you two got kicked out
**[06:16] ---**
was because you ignored the captain,
**[06:18] Tsuki**
started your own competition, and finally,
**[06:20] ---**
blew the vice principal's rug off his head.
**[06:24] Hinata**
N-Never mind the minor details.
**[06:27] Hinata**
Come on! Shake hands!
**[06:28] Tsuki**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[06:30] ---**
Get away from me!
**[06:31] ---**
Stop!
**[06:32] Tanaka**
What are those first-years doing?
**[06:35] Yama**
Are you all right, Tsukki?
**[06:38] Sawa**
Tsukishima.
**[06:41] Sawa**
How did you like the three-on-three?
**[06:44] Tsuki**
It made no difference to me.
**[06:46] ---**
He's the King from an elite school, anyway.
**[06:49] Tsuki**
There's nothing strange about
commoners losing to him.
**[06:53] Sawa**
Huh...
**[06:55] ---**
But considering that,
**[06:58] Sawa**
you played pretty seriously.
**[07:00] Sawa**
Here.

**[08:25] Sawa**
Like this?

Yeah, exactly. Like this!
**[08:27] Sawa**
Suga, you and Tanaka helped

**[08:28] ---**
Like this?
**[08:29] ---**
Yeah, exactly. Just like that!
**[08:30] Suga**
Oh? No, not really.
**[08:33] Sawa**
Anyway, it all worked out.
**[08:37] Sawa**
Thanks.
**[08:41] Suga**
Good job.
**[08:42] Sawa**
What? Hey.
**[08:44] Kage**
Hey, Hinata, are you rested?
You ready to go?
**[08:47] Kage**
Let's practice quick attacks again.
**[08:49] Kage**
Let's do it while you're still in the zone.
**[08:50] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[08:51] Kage**
Tanaka-san, please bring the balls.
**[08:54] Tanaka**
You're moving around already?
**[08:57] Takeda**
It's decided! It's decided!
**[09:02] Takeda**
The practice match.
**[09:04] Takeda**
It's against one of the top four teams
in the prefecture.
**[09:06] Takada**
Aoba Johsai High School.
**[09:07] Suga**
The one nicknamed Seijoh?
**[09:09] Tsuki**
Yikes.
**[09:10] Yama**
No way.
**[09:10] Hinata**
A practice match with
one of the top four!
**[09:13] Kage**
Aoba Johsai...
**[09:17] Takeda**
Oh. So you two are the controversial
Hinata-kun and Kageyama-kun.
**[09:22] Hinata**
Who's he? A teacher?
**[09:23] Kage**
I dunno.
**[09:25] Takeda**
I'm the volleyball club advisor
starting this year.
**[09:27] Takeda**
I'm Takeda Ittetsu.
**[09:29] Hin/Kag**
Hello.
**[09:30] Takeda**
I have no volleyball experience,
so I can't help with your technique,
**[09:34] Takeda**
but for anything else,
I'll do my very best.
**[09:37] Takeda**
It's good to meet you.
**[09:38] Hin/Kag**
Right.
**[09:40] Sawa**
Sensei.
**[09:41] Takeda**
Ah...
**[09:42] Takeda**
I've been running around everywhere
setting up the practice match,
**[09:45] Takeda**
so I haven't had time to drop in here.
**[09:47] Suga**
But, Sensei, how did you get
a powerhouse like Seijoh to agree?
**[09:51] Sawa**
You didn't get on your knees
and beg again, did you?
**[09:53] Takeda**
No, no.
**[09:54] ---**
I'm good at getting on my knees and begging,
**[09:56] Takeda**
but I didn't do that this time.
**[09:58] Takeda**
But they had a condition.
**[10:01] Sawa**
A condition?
**[10:02] Takeda**
Kageyama-kun must play setter
the entire game.
**[10:07] Tanaka**
What's that about?
**[10:09] ---**
Sounds like they're not
interested in Karasuno.
**[10:11] Tanaka**
They just want to assess Kageyama.
**[10:14] Tanaka**
Are they underestimating us?
**[10:16] ---**
Are they?
**[10:18] Takeda**
Well, that's not quite how it is.
**[10:21] Suga**
Sounds good.
**[10:22] ---**
We don't get chances like this that often.
**[10:24] Tanaka**
You're going to agree to that, Suga-san?
**[10:25] Tanaka**
You're the official setter
of Karasuno, Suga-san.
**[10:29] Suga**
I...
**[10:31] Suga**
I want to see how effective
Hinata and Kageyama's
**[10:34] ---**
attack will be against a top four team.
**[10:42] Sawa**
Sensei, may we have the details?
**[10:44] Takeda**
Sure. Um... the schedule is rather sudden,
but it's set for Tuesday next week.
**[10:50] Takeda**
It'll be after classes, so there
will only be time for one game.
**[10:53] Takeda**
We'll rent the bus after school...
**[10:54] Hinata**
*A match.*
**[10:55] ---**
*A match.*
**[10:57] Hinata**
* It's going to be my first*
* official match at Karasuno,*
**[10:59] ---**
*with a full team!*
**[11:01] Takeda**
So make sure you're not late.
**[11:02] Team**
Yes.
**[11:05] Narita**
Good job.
**[11:06] Team**
Good job.
**[11:11] Kage**
Sugawara-san.
**[11:20] Kage**
I have to play setter by default this time,
**[11:24] ---**
but from now on I will earn my place.
**[11:26] Suga**
Huh?
**[11:27] Kage**
Huh?
**[11:28] Suga**
Oh, I thought you weren't
concerned about me at all.
**[11:33] ---**
I wasn't expecting that.
**[11:35] Kage**
Why would you say that?
**[11:36] Suga**
Because you're superior to me
in athleticism and talent.
**[11:40] Kage**
You can't make up for a lack
of experience that easily!
**[11:43] Kage**
And also...
**[11:45] Hinata**
Suga-san.
**[11:45] Tanaka**
Suga.
**[11:45] Hinata**
Sugawara-san.
**[11:49] Kage**
I h-have to earn...

...the t-t-trust of the other team members...
**[11:56] Suga**
* That junior high match he was in*
* must've really gotten to him.*
**[12:00] Kage**
Therefore,
**[12:02] Kage**
I will never give up.
**[12:05] Suga**
Yeah. I won't give up, either.
**[12:08] Tanaka**
Suga-san.
**[12:10] ---**
Daichi-san said he'll buy us pork buns.
**[12:12] ---**
But you know, Kageyama,
***SIGN*** Sakanoshita Shop
**[12:14] Suga**
Aoba Johsai is where most of the athletes
from Kitagawa Daiichi move on to, right?
**[12:19] Kage**
Yeah, you could say that.
**[12:22] Hinata**
* That means Kageyama's*
* former teammates are at that school.*
**[12:26] Suga**
So... I'm just wondering if you might
be uncomfortable with that.
**[12:31] Kage**
I might be if they were on the same team.
**[12:35] Kage**
But if they're my opponents,
I'll fight with all I've got.
**[12:39] Suga**
I see. I suppose you would.
**[12:42] Tanaka**
But are you all right with that, Suga-san?
**[12:44] Tanaka**
I... I... just can't accept it.
**[12:49] Suga**
Sure, I'm a little frustrated...
**[12:51] Suga**
But...
**[12:53] ---**
I also want to show them that
Kageyama's completely different
**[12:57] ---**
from his junior high days.
**[12:58] Sawa**
That's true.
**[13:01] Sawa**
Plus, we'll show them that Kageyama's
not the only one they need to worry about.
**[13:05] Sawa**
Right, Hinata?
**[13:11] Tanaka**
Why are you eating first?!
**[13:13] Kageyama**
Are you kidding?!
**[13:15] Keishin**
Hey, volleyball club!
**[13:16] Keishin**
Don't make a ruckus in front of the store!
**[13:19] ---**
Sorry.
**[13:22] Hinata**
*That's right... "volleyball club."*
**[13:25] Hinata**
*All of us here are in the volleyball club.*
**[13:29] Hinata**
*The same...*
**[13:31] Kage**
Excuse me. Is there a curry pork bun?
**[13:34] Keishin**
Eat your dinner properly.
**[13:36] Tanaka**
Hey, you guys come and eat, too.
**[13:38] Yama**
Thanks.
**[13:41] Hinata**
*We're all on the same team.*
**[13:45] Sawa**
Kageyama, after you're done eating,
could I ask you something?
**[13:48] Kage**
Sure.
**[13:50] Keishin**
Don't make a ruckus.
**[13:51] Sawa**
I was wondering about Hinata's position
for the upcoming practice match.
**[13:55] Sawa**
What do you think?
**[14:14] Sawa**
Now, concerning the positions
for the practice match...
**[14:18] Sawa**
I think this is how we'll do it.

**[14:33] Tsuki**
Okay.
**[14:35] Yama**

Middle blocker:
**[15:07] ---**
He defends against the opponent's offense,
and scores points, mainly using quick attacks.
**[15:11] Takeda**
Furthermore, he plays the decoy
to draw the opponent's blockers away.
**[15:14] Takeda**
Would you say these are right?
**[15:16] Sawa**
There are other exclusively
defensive positions, too,
**[15:19] Sawa**
but for now, those are all.
**[15:21] Kage**
Listen, Hinata...
**[15:23] Hinata**
You're the ultimate decoy.
**[15:28] Hinata**
The ultimate...
**[15:29] Hinata**
...decoy?
**[15:32] Hinata**
There's something uninspiring about that.
**[15:35] Kage**
We'll let you score lots
of points using quick attacks,
**[15:37] Kage**
and direct the opponent's
blockers' attention to you.
**[15:39] Kage**
That's when the other spikers
will come into play.
**[15:41] Hinata**
Oh.
**[15:43] Kage**
Big guys like Tsukishima will fall
like idiots to your movements...
**[15:50] Kage**
That'll feel good, won't it?
**[15:53] Hinata**
I like it. I like it a lot!
**[15:54] Yama**
Hey. You're not calling
Tsukki an idiot, are you?
**[15:57] Tsuki**
Shut up, Yamaguchi.
**[15:59] Yama**
Sorry, Tsukki.
**[16:01] Kage**
On the other hand, if you're not effective,
**[16:04] Kage**
know that the other attacks will all fail.
**[16:07] Sawa**
Hey...

Don't put so much pressure on him.

All fail... all fail... all fail...
***SIGN*** All fail All fail

**[16:17] Tanaka**
What about blocking, though?
**[16:20] Tanaka**
Even if he can jump high,
**[16:22] Tanaka**
the taller players will reach
the highest point of their jump faster.
**[16:28] Kage**
Yes, the reason we want Hinata
to be the focus of blockers
**[16:32] Kage**
isn't to smack down the opponent's spikes,
**[16:35] Kage**
but to touch them.
**[16:37] Kage**
With Hinata's crazy reflexes and speed,
**[16:40] Kage**
he can touch the opponent's spikes,
and slow down their momentum.
**[16:45] Kage**
We'll set the pace to our advantage,
and make our counterattack.
**[16:48] Tanaka**
It's not going to go that
smoothly right off the bat.
**[16:51] Sawa**
It probably won't.
**[16:52] Tanaka**
Huh?
**[16:53] Sawa**
Right off the bat, anyway.
**[16:56] Sawa**
But we should still try it.
**[16:57] ---**
Maybe we'll learn something as we go along.
**[16:59] Sawa**
It's a practice match, after all.
**[17:01] Tanaka**
Right.
**[17:03] Sawa**
Anyway, for in-air battles,
we've only got Tsukishima and Kageyama
**[17:07] Sawa**
who can match Hinata's jumps.
**[17:10] Sawa**
So, Hinata, have confidence, and—
**[17:12] Hinata**
Yes! I'll do my best!
**[17:14] Hinata**
I'll score lots of points. I'll be a decoy.
**[17:16] Hinata**
I'll serve. Block. Quick. Everything.
**[17:18] Sawa**
Hey, hey, calm down!
**[17:21] Sawa**

I heard you're having a match
against Seijoh tomorrow?
**[17:38] Michimiya**
I'm surprised they agreed to it.
**[17:40] Sawa**
Yeah. Takeda-sensei did
the hard work for us.
**[17:44] Michimiya**
But aren't you scared?
**[17:45] Sawa**
Hm?
**[17:46] Michimiya**
Seijoh was in the prefecture's
top four last year, weren't they?
**[17:49] Michimiya**
Won't they beat the crap out of us?
**[17:54] Sawa**
Well, we actually have some rather
interesting first-years...
**[17:57] Michimiya**
I heard about them.
**[17:59] Michimiya**
As soon as they joined the club,
they blew off the vice principal's rug...
**[18:02] Sawa**
D-D-D-D-Don't!
**[18:04] Sawa**
Shh.
**[18:08] Sawa**
They're still imperfect, but if
those guys start playing their part,
**[18:13] Sawa**
I feel Karasuno is going
to evolve explosively.
**[18:16] ---**
That's what I think.
**[18:17] Michimiya**
Wow...
**[18:20] Kage**
Are first-years allowed to use the club room?
**[18:22] Suga**
Of course. It doesn't matter.
**[18:25] Suga**
Hey.

Hey.

Pardon the intrusion.
**[18:30] Hin**
Oh...
**[18:32] Suga**
There's nothing impressive about this place.
**[18:35] Suga**
It's just an ordinary club room.
**[18:36] Hinata**
I've never been in a club room before.
**[18:40] Hinata**
The Little Giant used
this room, too, didn't he?
**[18:43] Tanaka**
Tomorrow's finally your debut match, Hinata.
**[18:47] Tanaka**
Even though it's a practice match.
**[18:50] Tanaka**
Seijoh's gym is huge.
**[18:53] Tanaka**
Their players are huge, too.
Don't get intimidated.
**[18:56] Sawa**
Heyo.

Heya.

**[19:02] Hinata**
Intimidated? Of course I won't be.
**[19:03] Hinata**
I'll do great. You'll see...
**[19:06] Tanaka**
Hey, Hinata.
**[19:07] ---**
The thing you're trying to put
on your legs is your jacket...
**[19:13] Tanaka**
What's that? A fashion statement?
**[19:14] Sawa**
Kageyama, is Hinata going
to be all right tomorrow?
**[19:16] ---**
Who're you trying to look like?
**[19:18] Kage**
Will he be all right?
What do you mean?
**[19:20] Sawa**
Hinata's only experience is at
that one match in junior high.
**[19:22] ---**
Is that how you get dressed?
**[19:24] Hinata**
No, it's not. I was daydreaming. That's all.
**[19:25] Sawa**
I think he's really anxious
and worried because of that.
**[19:29] Sawa**
That's why I think he
might be quite nervous.
**[19:33] Kage**
But everyone feels nervous—
**[19:35] Suga**
There, see? You make light of
the anxiety we cowards feel.
**[19:41] Sawa**
No matter what I say, it adds pressure.
**[19:44] (Flashback) Sawa**
Hinata.
**[19:45] (Flashback) Sawa**
Here's the key to the club room.
**[19:47] (Flashback) Hinata**
Don't worry. I'll bring it with me.
**[19:48] (Flashback) Sawa**
I never told you where to keep it,
so I brought it with me.
**[19:51] (Flashback) Hinata**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
**[19:55] Kage**
You can't help it at first.
**[20:01] Kage**
I think it's best to leave him alone.
**[20:03] Sawa**
I wonder...
**[20:07] Hinata**
*I have to do it right tomorrow...*
**[20:09] Hinata**
* This isn't going to be like junior high,*
* or like the three-on-three the other day,*
**[20:15] Hinata**
*because I can be replaced.*
**[20:18] Hinata**
* I don't want that.*
* I don't want to be replaced.*
**[20:21] Hinata**
* I'm finally going to stand on*
* the court with a full team.*
**[20:24] Hinata**
*I want to be out there 'til the end.*
**[20:31] Hinata**
I can't goof up. I can't goof up.
**[20:35] Hinata**
I can't goof up.
**[20:37] Tsuki**
Whoops, sorry. You're so
small I couldn't see you.
**[20:45] Hinata**
I can't goof up. I can't goof up.
**[20:50] Tsuki**
What's that all about?
**[20:52] Yama**
Who knows?
**[20:54] Suga**
Hey, Kageyama.
**[20:55] ---**
Don't make any wisecracks
that'll put more pressure on him.
**[21:01] Kage**
Wisecracks?
**[21:04] Kage**
*Have I ever made any wisecracks?*
**[21:07] Kage**
*I have no recollection whatsoever.*
**[21:11] Team**
*He has no self-awareness.*
**[21:15] Tanaka**
Hinata!
**[21:17] Tanaka**
You're wearing my pants!
**[21:20] Student**
What are you doing Tanaka? You pervert!
**[21:23] Student**
Are you stupid? You're the worst.
**[21:36] Hinata**
I can't sleep!
**[21:38] Hinata**
I can't sleep!
**[21:44] Natsu**
Nii-chan, you're too noisy.
**[21:45] Hinata**
S-Sorry.

**[00:02] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[00:03] Hinata**
I'm sorry, Tanaka-san.
**[00:06] Tanaka**
Like I said, don't worry about it.
**[00:08] Tanaka**
Never mind me. Are you all right?
**[00:11] Hinata**
Yes. I rested a little on the way here.
**[00:13] Hinata**
I feel better now that I'm off the bus.
**[00:14] Tanaka**
I see. Well, good.
**[00:16] Tanaka**
We're counting on you for today's match.
**[00:20] Tanaka**
Do it just like the three-on-three.
**[00:22] Tanaka**
Let me spike freely like that.
**[00:24] Suga**
Tanaka.
**[00:26] Suga**
Don't pressure him.
**[00:27] Tanaka**
What? What's that?
**[00:28] Hinata**
I'll... I'll... I'll do my b—
**[00:33] Hinata**
I'm going to the bathroom.
**[00:34] Tanaka**
First the top, then the bottom!
**[00:36] Tanaka**
You're a busy guy.
**[00:38] Kage**
There he goes again. How pathetic.
**[00:41] Kage**
I'm going to knock some courage into him.
**[00:43] Suga**
Hey! What are you thinking?
**[00:44] Suga**
That kind of thing won't work on Hinata.
**[00:47] Kage**
But we won't know 'til we try it.
**[00:49] Suga**
Tanaka! Keep this simpleton away from him.
**[00:51] Tanaka**
Right.

**[02:27] Yahaba**
Hey, that Karasuno team
that's coming today...
**[02:30] Yahaba**
isn't that where you-know-who is?
**[02:31] Kindaichi**
Who?
**[02:32] Yahaba**
The King of the Court.
**[02:34] Yahaba**
You went to the same junior high
he did, didn't you, Kindaichi?
**[02:37] Kindaichi**
Oh, you mean Kageyama?
**[02:40] Kindaichi**
He's no big deal.
**[02:42] Kindaichi**
Sure, he was head and shoulders
above the rest in skill,
**[02:45] Kindaichi**
but he's just not cut out
to be a team player, at all.
**[02:49] Kindaichi**
He's too egocentric.
**[02:51] Yahaba**
I see... I guess since
he went to Karasuno,
**[02:55] Yahaba**
his strength as a player
must be a thing of the past.
**[02:58] Yahaba**
Besides, all I know about Karasuno
is that their manager is a beauty.
**[03:02] Kindaichi**
Are you serious?
**[03:02] Yahaba**
That's right. She's kind of sexy.
**[03:06] Yahaba**
Oh yeah, and there's a riffraff
kind of guy there, too.
**[03:10] Yahaba**
He's got a shaved head, and an
unpleasant look in his eyes.
**[03:12] Yahaba**
He looks real stupid.
**[03:19] Yahaba**
U-Um...
**[03:21] Tanaka**
Don't underestimate us too much,
**[03:26] Tanaka**
or we'll eat you alive.
**[03:30] Tsuki**
You shouldn't threaten
them like that, Tanaka-san.
**[03:34] Tsuki**
Look what you did.
You scared these poor elites.
**[03:37] Tsuki**
Now I feel sorry for them.
**[03:39] Kindaichi**
W-We're not intimidated.
**[03:41] Yahaba**
*Who's the guy with the glasses?*
**[03:43] Yahaba**
*Was there a guy that tall at Karasuno?*
**[03:46] Tanaka**
Oh, you're right. We should save
our bullying for the match.
**[03:52] Sawa**
You guys.
**[03:53] Sawa**
I can't let you out of my sight.
**[03:54] Sawa**
We apologize.
**[03:56] Yahaba**
Oh, it's all right.
**[03:58] Sawa**
Tanaka, stop that look.
**[04:02] Kindaichi**
It's been a while, King.

**[04:14] Kage**
Yeah.

Ow!

Why's he pretending to be passive?

Nice to meet you.
**[04:42] Ateam**
Nice to meet you.
**[04:45] Sawa**
Aoba Johsai is known for each
of its members being highly skilled
**[04:49] Sawa**
equally in offense and defense.
**[04:50] Sawa**
These guys could go to any school
and become the ace.
**[04:51] Iwahara**
Here goes.
**[04:56] Suga**
Their powerful blocks are famous.
**[04:59] Tanaka**
What's the matter, you two?
**[05:01] Tanaka**
Hinata's here to throw
them for a loop, right?
**[05:03] ---**
Right?
**[05:05] Tanaka**
We know you're lousy, so we'll
cover you. Leave it to us.
**[05:12] Tanaka**
But when you hit a serve,
you're on your own.
**[05:14] Tanaka**
You'd better not miss.
**[05:17] Tanaka**
Just kidding, just kidding.
A missed serve is no big deal.
**[05:21] Tanaka**
You don't have to worry about a thing, and—
**[05:24] Tanaka**
Huh? Where did Hinata go?
**[05:27] Yama**
He went to the bathroom.
**[05:27] Tanaka**
Again?
**[05:31] Hinata**
This is bad...
**[05:33] Yahaba**
What's the matter with
these guys from Karasuno?
**[05:35] Yahaba**
All they've got is a big attitude.
**[05:36] Kindaichi**
That's true.
**[05:39] Hinata**
*This guy...*
**[05:40] Hinata**
* He was next to Kageyama*
* in the junior high match.*
**[05:44] Hinata**
*His silhouette is like a turnip.*
**[05:46] Hinata**
*I remember him.*
**[05:48] Kindaichi**
Hey. You're a first-year at Karasuno?
**[05:50] Hinata**
Y-Yeah, I am.
**[05:51] Kindaichi**
Well, then how is Kageyama doing?
**[05:54] Kindaichi**
Our King seems pompous, as usual.
**[05:58] Hinata**
That's not how he is!
**[05:59] Hinata**
It's not about being pompous.
**[06:02] Hinata**
Under the dictatorship of
the Great King Kageyama,
**[06:04] Hinata**
commoners like me are cruelly oppressed,
made to bitterly suffer.
**[06:09] Hinata**
Just because he's a little skilled!
Who does he think he is?
**[06:13] Kindaichi**
What did I tell you?
**[06:15] Yahaba**
He's utterly despised.
**[06:17] Kindaichi**
There's no doubting his skill at receiving,
blocking, and serving.
**[06:20] Hinata**
That's right. It's aggravating.
**[06:22] Hinata**
But his toss is amazing.
**[06:22] Hinata**
But his toss is the worst.
**[06:26] Kindaichi**
His toss?
**[06:28] Hinata**
Is amazing.
**[06:31] Kindaichi**
You've never spiked one of his tosses
in a match before, have you?
**[06:36] Kindaichi**
They're terrible.
They're too difficult to spike.
**[06:39] Hinata**
Is that so?
**[06:40] Kindaichi**
Because he's an egocentric king.
**[06:43] Kindaichi**
He's a setter, and yet he can't do
his most important job.
**[06:46] Kindaichi**
Letting the spiker spike the ball.
**[06:48] Kindaichi**
What Kageyama needs are pawns
he can maneuver as he wills.
**[06:53] Kindaichi**
Anything he doesn't need to win, he discards.
**[07:01] Tanaka**
Let's wait until the match to see if Kageyama
**[07:03] Tanaka**
is still the same as he was
in junior high, Turnip-kun.
**[07:05] Kindaichi**
Huh?
**[07:07] Tanaka**
Right, Hinata?
**[07:10] Hinata**
*"Anything he doesn't need to win, he discards."*
**[07:14] Hinata**
*If I goofed in Kageyama's sight...*
**[07:17] Kage**
*Get lost. You're useless.*
**[07:19] Hinata**
*I'll get switched out!*
**[07:22] Hinata**
My stomach hurts.
**[07:25] Kindaichi**
Well, we look forward to it.
**[07:31] Sawa**
Hinata, you don't have
to be so nervous. Relax.
**[07:35] Hinata**
Yes! I will do my best to relax.
**[07:38] Suga (Background Vo)**
Hinata, hurry up and get in uniform.
**[07:38] Sawa**
Hey,
**[07:39] Sawa**
is there anything effective you could say
to that first-year as the manager?
**[07:39] ---**
Y-Yes...
**[07:44] Shimizu**
Hey, there.
**[07:49] Shimizu**
I'm counting on you.
**[07:54] Sawa**
* And you just dealt the death blow.*
* I'm sorry, Hinata.*

**[08:04] All**
Let's play.
**[08:07] Kindaichi**
That shrimp is a middle blocker?
**[08:09] Kindaichi**
That's gotta be some kind of mistake.
**[08:10] Iwaizumi**
That's Kageyama for real.
What's he doing at Karasuno?
**[08:13] Yahaba**
Who knows?
**[08:15] Sawa**
Hey, Hinata. Buck up.
**[08:17] Hinata**
Y-Yes.
**[08:18] Hinata**
I will do my best to buck up.
**[08:20] Sawa**
No, I need you to relax.
**[08:22] Kage**
Hey, Hinata. You know the drill.
**[08:25] Kage**
The same as in the three-on-three match.
**[08:27] Hinata**
I-I know that.
**[08:28] Kage**
Are you sure?
**[08:31] Iwaizumi**
Matsukawa, nice serve.
**[08:33] Sawa**
All right, I got this.
**[08:36] Kage**
Idiot, that obviously wasn't your ball.
**[08:39] Hinata**
I'm sorry!
**[08:40] Sawa**
Ennoshita, cover.
**[08:41] Enno**
Tanaka.
**[08:41] Tanaka**
Yeah.
**[08:46] Kindaichi**
And that's the first point.
**[08:49] Sawa**
Don't mind, don't mind.
**[08:50] Sawa**
Hinata, relax and stay aware
of your surroundings.
**[08:53] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[08:54] Kage**
* This guy...*
* He's completely overwhelmed.*
**[09:02] Sawa**
Hinata!
**[09:04] Sawa**
Let's relax, first and foremost.
**[09:08] Tanaka**
All right. Lucky, lucky.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[09:10] Left Guy**
Net touch, huh?
**[09:11] Right Guy**
And Karasuno's score finally changes.
**[09:14] Kage**
Hey, you! That's enough nervousness!
**[09:17] Hinata**
No! Give me another chance!
**[09:18] Kindaichi**
They're really not a big deal.
**[09:20] Kunimi**
He sure hasn't changed, at all.
**[09:22] Sawa**
All right.
Let's steadily rack up points.
**[09:26] Sawa**
The next serve will be...
**[09:28] Kage**
*This couldn't be timed worse...*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[09:31] Kage**
*It's Hinata's serve.*
**[09:34] Hinata**
* A serve-miss is an immediate*
* score for the opponent.*
**[09:35] Sawa (Vo)**
Hinata, relax!
**[09:36] Hinata**
*If I miss, the first set will be finished.*
**[09:40] Tanaka**
Kageyama. Is he still breathing?
**[09:43] Tanaka**
Can he do this?
**[09:44] Kage**
How am I supposed to know?
**[09:47] (Flashback) Kindaichi**
Anything he doesn't need to win, he discards.
**[09:50] Hinata**
* Don't blow it.*
* I'll have to sit out if I blow it.*
**[09:54] Hinata**
Relax. It's all right. It's all right. It's all—
**[10:00] Hinata**
Crap, it didn't hit my hand right!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[10:46] Tanaka**
Hey.
**[10:47] Tsuki**
Nice headshot, man!
**[10:48] Tanaka**
Is your head okay?
**[10:50] Suga**
Don't razz him.
**[10:52] Sawa**
Stop it, you guys!
**[10:56] Hinata**
*Now I've done it.*
**[10:58] Sawa**
Hey, Kageyama.
**[11:01] Hinata**
W-W-Wait. Once we talk about this,
you'll understand.
**[11:05] Hinata**
Kageyama.
**[11:07] Hinata**
Stop.
**[11:23] Kage**
Just wondering...
**[11:24] Hinata**
Yes?
**[11:25] Kage**
Why are you so intimidated?
Why are you so nervous?
**[11:28] Kage**
Is it because the opponents are tall?
**[11:29] Kage**
Is it because this is your first practice match?
**[11:34] Kage**
There's nothing scarier than hitting
a serve into the back of my head...
**[11:42] Kage**
Is there?
**[11:45] Hinata**
I can't think of anything.
**[11:47] Kage**
In that case, you have no reason
to be nervous any more, do you?
**[11:50] Kage**
Because you've already done it...
**[11:52] Kage**
The scariest thing possible.
**[11:55] Kage**
So now...
**[11:56] Kage**
Get back to normal, you jackass.
**[12:00] Hinata**
Was that goof safe?
**[12:03] Kage**
Huh? What are you talking about?
**[12:05] Hinata**
* If that was safe, it doesn't*
* matter what I did here.*
**[12:09] Hinata**
* Why was I intimidated by*
* that turnip-head anyway?*
**[12:13] Hinata**
* But we lost the first set*
* because of what I just did.*
**[12:17] Hinata**
*Even if Kageyama is okay with it...*
**[12:19] Tanaka**
Hey, you. Hinata.
**[12:23] Tanaka**
You.
**[12:24] Hinata**
Yes.
**[12:25] Tanaka**
Are you thinking you have
to play well, like the others?
**[12:29] Tanaka**
As if you have the experience?
**[12:31] Hinata**
I-If I don't, I'll get switched with another player.
**[12:35] Hinata**
I want to be in the match to the end.
**[12:38] Tanaka**
Hey. Don't underestimate us.
**[12:41] Tanaka**
We all know you're a lousy player.
**[12:45] Tanaka**
Daichi-san knows it,
and yet he lets you play.
**[12:47] Sawa**
Huh?
**[12:48] Tanaka**
As for getting switched for another player...
**[12:55] Tanaka**
Think about it when you get switched!
**[12:57] Hinata**
Huh?
**[12:58] Tanaka**
So don't worry about something
that hasn't happened yet.
**[12:59] Takeda**
Should I go help him?
**[13:00] Suga**
Oh, don't worry. It should be fine.
**[13:00] Tanaka (Vo)**
You don't have any brains for that.
**[13:02] Tanaka**
Listen to me. In volleyball,
**[13:05] Tanaka**
everybody on this side
of the net is your ally.
**[13:10] Tanaka**
It doesn't matter if you're lousy.
It doesn't matter if you're a nuisance.
**[13:13] Tanaka**
You can slow us down.
**[13:14] Tanaka**
But to make up for those things...
**[13:16] Tanaka**
That's why you have your
team and your senpais.
**[13:19] Hinata**
Oh!
**[13:21] Tanaka**
Go on. Call me Tanaka-senpai.
**[13:23] Hinata**
Tanaka-senpai.
**[13:26] Tanaka**
Once more.
**[13:26] Suga**
He just wants to be called "senpai."
**[13:26] Hinata (Vo)**
Tanaka-senpai.
**[13:28] Sawa**
Yeah, but Tanaka was really helpful just now.
**[13:32] Sawa**
His speech was totally effective
because he seems to have
**[13:36] Sawa**
no ulterior motive.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[13:40] Student**
What's this?
**[13:41] Student2**
I hear it's a practice match.
**[13:43] Student3**
The second set is about to start.
**[13:45] Kindaichi**
Hey, teach me later how to serve
to the back of the head.
**[13:49] Tsuki**
Teach me later, too.
**[13:53] Sawa**
Ennoshita, nice serve.
**[13:56] (Flashback) Kage**
You'll do the same as in the
three-on-three match.
**[13:59] (Flashback) Kage**
You go in max speed and jump and
swing where there is no blocker.
**[14:05] (Flashback) Kage**
Just be careful you don't
bump into other spikers.
**[14:08] (Flashback) Hinata**
Yeah.
**[14:09] Yahaba**
Kunimi.
**[14:12] Tanaka**
Kageyama, cover.
**[14:13] Kage**
Yes.
**[14:14] Tanaka**
Left, go forward.
**[14:15] Sawa**
Right.
**[14:16] Kindaichi**
* There's no quick...maybe it'll*
* be open, from left or right...*
**[14:22] Kindaichi**
*What?*
**[14:26] Kindaichi**
*A quick?*
**[14:28] Hinata**
*What?*
**[14:29] Hinata**
*It didn't hit my hand.*
**[14:34] Kindaichi**
*They do quick?*
**[14:36] Kindaichi**
*Or was that just a bluff?*
**[14:38] Kindaichi**
*Either way...*
**[14:41] Kindaichi**
If you can't spike a ball like that,
the King will get mad.
**[14:45] Kage**
Hinata.
**[14:47] Kindaichi**
You see?
**[14:49] Kage**
My bad. That toss was too high.
**[14:54] Kindaichi**
Kageyama...
**[14:55] Kunimi**
...apologized?
**[14:57] Hinata**
I guess I can forgive you.
**[15:00] Hinata**
Ouch! Ouch! Kageyama, I'll go bald!
**[15:05] Iwa**
One point.
**[15:07] Watari**
Nice serve.
**[15:07] Enno**
All right.
**[15:09] Kage**
All right.
**[15:11] Kindaichi**
*The right and setter moved.*
**[15:13] Tanaka**
Bring it.
**[15:13] Kindaichi**
*The left is waiting.*
**[15:15] Kindaichi**
*Who will Kageyama use?*
**[15:17] Kage**
*Now. Right there.*
**[15:21] Kindaichi**
Oh. Huh?
**[15:23] Hin/Kag**
Yes!
**[15:25] Sawa**
Yes!
**[15:26] Suga**
Yes!
**[15:27] Tsuki**
There it is, the freak toss-and-spike.
**[15:31] Student**
Did you see that? That was fast.
**[15:34] Sawa**
Hinata, Kageyama.
**[15:36] Team**
One-two...
**[15:38] Team**
Yeah!
**[15:41] Hinata**
I-It's like team spirit!
**[15:43] Tanaka**
Huh?
**[15:44] Tanaka**
Not like. It's a for real.
**[15:49] Hinata**
Right, right.
**[15:52] Sawa**
Nice toss, Kageyama.
**[15:53] Kage**
Thanks.
**[15:54] Yahaba**
Hey, does that shrimp do fast attacks?
**[15:54] Sawa**
Let's do another one.
**[15:55] Kage**
Yup.
**[15:57] Kindaichi**
He's changed from the first set.
**[15:58] Kage**
* All right. Lost your cool?*
* You did, didn't you?*
**[16:02] Kage**
*You'd better keep your eyes on Hinata.*
**[16:04] Kage**
Hinata is back in action.
**[16:07] Kage**
Time for a counterattack.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[16:11] Tanaka**
Chance ball.
**[16:12] Hinata**
All right.
**[16:13] Kindaichi**
If I know it's coming...
**[16:15] Kindaichi**
there's nothing to fear.
**[16:16] Hinata**
Oh, yeah?
**[16:20] Tanaka**
I was waiting for this.
**[16:25] Kindaichi**
* Damn it. This time,*
* that shrimp was just a decoy.*
**[16:27] Hinata**
I thought it was coming to me.
**[16:29] Tanaka**
How do you like me now, Turnip-kun?
**[16:32] Tanaka**
I told you we'd get you in the match.
**[16:36] Hinata**
I thought I was going to
spike it, and said, "Oh, yeah?"
**[16:39] Hinata**
I'm so embarrassed.
**[16:40] Kage**
That's how it's supposed to be.
**[16:42] Kage**
You jumped for real, so the
opponents reacted for real.
**[16:47] Hinata**
That's how it is?
**[16:48] Kage**
That's how it is.
**[16:50] Kindaichi**
Damn.
**[16:51] Iwaizumi**
Don't sweat it, Kindaichi.
**[16:53] Iwaizumi**
We have our attack strategy.
Don't let them get to you.
**[16:57] Kindaichi**
Right.
**[17:02] Student**
I'm just a bystander and I can
see how the blockers disperse.
**[17:06] Student2**
I didn't know Karasuno
had such a strong team.
**[17:11] Kage (Vo)**
Hinata, you idiot.
**[17:12] Student3**
But they make a lot of mistakes, too.
**[17:24] Iwaizumi**
Huddle.
**[17:25] Team**
Right.
**[17:28] Sawa**
What's the matter, Hinata?
**[17:29] Hinata**
When I entered a tournament
for the first time,
**[17:32] Hinata**
I thought I had to do everything
right all by myself.
**[17:36] Hinata**
But now, there are players who are
way better than me all around me.
**[17:40] Hinata**
So all I can do now is
believe in them, and jump.
**[17:45] Hinata**
I didn't have to overthink
anything in the first place.
**[17:49] Kage (Vo)**
You're late.
**[17:51] Sawa**
But it's believing and jumping
that are your powerful weapons.
**[17:55] Yahaba**
Hey, Kindaichi.
Kageyama isn't like you said.
**[18:00] Kindaichi**
I wasn't expecting that, either.
I can't believe there's a spiker
**[18:04] Kindaichi**
who can synch with his reckless tosses.
**[18:06] Irihata**
That's not what it is.
**[18:09] Irihata**
Number 5 isn't looking at the ball at all.
**[18:14] Kindaichi**
Coach, what do you mean?
**[18:15] Irihata**
I think Kageyama pinpoint-tossed the ball
**[18:19] Irihata**
directly where he was about to swing.
**[18:21] Iwaizumi**
Is that kind of thing possible?
**[18:24] Kindaichi**
Kageyama? Matching someone else?
**[18:28] Irihata**
That can only mean that #5 has the ability
**[18:32] Irihata**
to make that egocentric and prideful
**[18:33] Tsuki (Vo)**
Wanna drink? Oh, sorry.
Your face is lower than I thought...
**[18:34] Irihata**
Kageyama do what he's been doing.
**[18:38] Irihata**
What's amazing is that he jumps
believing in Kageyama 100%.
**[18:44] Irihata**
He believes that's where the ball will come.
**[18:47] Irihata**
If they get past your block, receive solidly.
**[18:50] Irihata**
You're all the best members of our team.
**[18:53] Irihata**
Show your pride.
**[18:55] Team**
Yes.
**[19:00] Mizoguchi**
Kageyama is amazing.
**[19:02] Mizoguchi**
It's a shame we couldn't
have him on our team.
**[19:05] Mizoguchi**
He did get invited, didn't he?
**[19:07] Irihata**
Yeah, but even if Kageyama
had come to our team,
**[19:11] Irihata**
that doesn't mean he
would've played like that.
**[19:14] Mizo**
Huh?
**[19:15] Iri**
Maybe Kageyama is how he is
now because of Karasuno,
**[19:15] Kage**
All right. Let's win this set.
**[19:19] Hinata**
Ouch. That hurt, Kageyama.
**[19:19] Iri**
and because of #5.
**[19:20] Kage**
I was just pounding some courage into you.
**[19:22] Sawamura (Vo)**
All right. It's starting.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[19:26] Sawa**
Chance ball.
**[19:28] Tanaka**
Tsukishima.
**[19:31] Hinata**
All right.
**[19:32] Yama**
Tsukki, nice!
**[19:34] Tanaka**
Nice, Tsukishima.
**[19:35] Tsuki**
Your tosses are too accurate.
It gives me the creeps.
**[19:39] Kage**
What?
**[19:40] Sawa**
*I wouldn't have put it that way,*
**[19:40] Kage (Vo)**
I can just aim at your
glasses, if you like.
**[19:41] Sawa**
* but I can sort of understand*
* what Tsukishima means.*
**[19:42] Tsuki (Vo)**
Try it. You'll get banished
from the gym again.
**[19:44] Sawa**
* It's like you're wishing the*
* ball would go somewhere,*
**[19:46] Sawa**
*and then it just appears there.*
**[19:47] Kage (Vo)**
I'll do it so no one will notice.
**[19:49] Tsuki (Vo)**
You obviously can't do that.
Are you stupid?
**[19:50] Sawa**
*It's totally amazing. But...*
**[19:52] Sawa**
We're in a match.
That's about enough.
**[19:56] Suga**
Tanaka, nice serve.
**[19:57] ---**
Nice serve.
**[19:58] Takeda**
I see...
***SIGN*** WS Ennoshita MB Tsukishima S Kageyama WS Sawamura MB Hinata WS Tanaka
***SIGN*** S Sugawara
MB Yamaguchi
WS Kinoshita
MB Narita
**[20:00] Takeda**
The rotation moves every time
we score and we get to serve.
**[20:05] Takeda**
So now it's Kageyama-kun, Tsukishima-kun,
and Ennoshita-kun in the front position.
**[20:09] Suga**
Yes, it's the exact opposite
positioning from the start of the match.
**[20:15] Takeda**
When Hinata-kun is in front position,
his being a decoy
**[20:18] Takeda**
raises the level of the
entire team's offense.
**[20:21] Takada**
On the other hand,
if Tsukishima-kun is in front...
**[20:26] Takada**
We'll have a powerful block
equal to the Seijoh team's.
**[20:31] Tsuki**
Were you good at blocking, as well?
**[20:34] Tsuki**
But don't get too carried away.
**[20:37] Kage**
Look who's talking. Don't get blown away,
being all gangly like that.
**[20:42] Enno**
Don't fight, guys. Okay?
**[20:44] Tanaka**
Your opponents are on the
other side of the net!
**[20:47] Tanaka**
Hey, here it comes.
**[20:52] Kage**
All right.
**[20:54] Tsuki**
Hey. I'm the one that blocked it.
**[20:57] Kage**
What? It hit my hand, too.
**[20:59] Sawa**
That's enough you two!
**[21:01] Hinata**
* Serves those guys right.*
* They totally got yelled at.*
**[21:03] Kage**
What are you grinning at?
**[21:06] Sawa**
Kageyama, stop it.
**[21:10] Iwaizumi**
*Damn. Now I'm getting worried.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[21:13] Mizoguchi**
Hey, that was covered for
you Kunimi, you idiot.
**[21:17] Mizoguchi**
We have to stop #5 somehow.
**[21:20] Iri**
True, the combo of #5
and Kageyama is formidable.
**[21:25] Iri**
But then again, though he has no calm,
**[21:28] Iri**
that spiker, Tanaka-kun,
is an overwhelming force.
**[21:32] Iri**
Then there's that somewhat uninspired
but clever blocker, Tsukishima-kun.
**[21:37] Iri**
And the captain, Sawamura-kun,
who covers all his team's holes.
**[21:41] Hinata**
Bring it on.
**[21:42] Iri**
There are those who
are inexperienced,
**[21:43] Iri**
and their defense is full of holes,
**[21:46] Iri**
but their offense is freely flexible,
**[21:48] Iri**
and makes full use of the inexperienced.
**[21:51] Iri**
They made a fool of us...
**[21:55] Iri**
So this is Karasuno.
**[21:57] Iri**
They are odd.
**[21:59] Iri**
They are dangerous.
**[22:01] Iri**
They are an interesting team.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[22:06] Student2**
They won the set.
**[22:08] Kindaichi**
Damn.
**[22:09] Enno**
Nice toss, Kageyama.
**[22:11] Kage**
Oh, thanks.
**[22:12] Tanaka**
On to winning the final set!
**[22:15] Enno**
I'm glad they don't have another
serve-hitter like Kageyama.
**[22:18] Tanaka**
A comeback victory.
**[22:19] Hinata**
Victory.
**[22:19] Sawa**
Yeah, because I must admit our
team is not good at receiving.
**[22:20] Tanaka**
Victory.
**[22:24] Sawa**
Thank you.
**[22:25] Kage**
We mustn't let our guard down.
**[22:29] Kage**
I'm thinking that maybe
**[22:30] Kage**
their setter wasn't the main setter...
**[22:36] Iri**
Oikawa, you're back.

***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[00:05] Iri**
Oikawa, you're back.
**[00:08] Iri**
How's the ankle?
**[00:13] Oikawa**
It's fine. I can get back
to regular practice.
**[00:16] Oikawa**
It was just a slight sprain.
**[00:18] Iri**
For crying out loud! Be careful.
**[00:21] Iri**
You're the one that asked
to play against Kageyama.
**[00:23] Iri**
What do we do without our official setter?
**[00:26] ---**
It's embarrassing.
**[00:27] Oikawa**
I'm sorry.
**[00:29] Student**
Oikawa-san, take care of yourself!
**[00:34] Tanaka**
Kageyama-kun, who's that nice guy?
**[00:37] Tanaka**
I find him unpleasant.
**[00:39] Sawa**
He's the captain of Seijoh.
**[00:43] Kage**
Oikawa-san is a super-aggressive setter.
**[00:46] Kage**
His attack power is also probably
among the top of his team.
**[00:49] Hinata**
* Even Kageyama acknowledges*
* that player's abilities...*
**[00:54] Kage**
And he's got a terrible personality.
**[00:56] Hinata**
*You're* saying that?!
**[00:57] Kage**
Maybe even worse than Tsukishima.
**[00:59] Hinata**
He must be really bad.
**[01:01] Tanaka**
Do you know him from Kitagawa Daiichi?
**[01:04] Kage**
Yes.
**[01:06] ---**
He was my senpai in junior high.
**[01:08] Hinata**
* A senpai of the King.*
* That would make him...*
**[01:10] Hinata**
*The Great King.*
**[01:13] Oikawa**
Yoo-hoo! Long time no see, Tobio-chan.
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
**[02:48] Oikawa**
Long time no see, Tobio-chan.
***SIGN*** Episode 7: Versus the Great King
**[02:51] ---**
So nice to see you.
**[02:52] Oikawa**
You still doing the King thing?
**[02:54] Kage**
I learned serving and blocking
by watching him play.
**[02:59] Kage**
His skills are extremely high.
**[03:01] Hinata**
*He taught him those killer serves?*
**[03:03] Kage**
But we have to focus on the match now.
**[03:06] Kage**
We're going to win the final set for sure.
**[03:08] Hinata**
Y-Yeah.
**[03:09] Kage**
Tanaka-san, please stop
with the intimidation.
**[03:11] Iri**
Anyway, go get warmed up.
**[03:14] ---**
Even more than usual.
**[03:16] Oikawa**
Okay.
**[03:19] Tanaka**
I'm crushing him. I'm serious.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[03:23] Student**
Hey, when's Oikawa-san going to play?
**[03:27] Student2**
Idiot. He has to warm up
or he could get hurt.
**[03:31] Student (Vo)**
That wouldn't be good!
**[03:36] Tanaka**
Here, here, here.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[03:44] Sawa**
*One more point.*
**[03:46] Suga**
*Only one more point...*
**[03:48] Hinata**
* ...and we will beat Seijoh, ranked in*
* the top four in the prefecture.*
**[03:51] Kindaichi**
Don't get cocky!
**[03:55] Iwa**
Kindaichi, nice.
**[03:56] Sawa**
Don't mind, Tsukishima.
**[04:00] Oikawa**
Oh my. We're in a crisis.
**[04:03] Iwa**
Did you get warmed up?
**[04:05] Oikawa**
Perfectly.
**[04:09] Oikawa**
Leave the rest to your senpai.
**[04:11] Kunimi**
Yes.
**[04:13] Hinata**
*He's here! The Great King!*
**[04:15] Sawa**
Stop that.
**[04:19] Student**
Does that mean we're switching setters?
**[04:21] Student2**
No, I think he's a pinch-server.
**[04:23] Iwa**
Oikawa, nice serve.
**[04:26] Oikawa**
No matter how strong your offense is...
**[04:30] Okawa**
It means nothing if you can't connect to it.
**[04:36] Suga**
*What?*
**[04:46] Suga**
*He aimed it at Tsukishima.*
**[04:49] Yama**
*Tsukki.*
**[04:53] Oikawa**
Just as I thought.
I watched part of the match...
**[04:56] Oikawa**
You, Number 6, and you, Number 5.
**[05:00] Oikawa**
You're not good receivers, are you?
**[05:02] Oikawa**
You must be first-years.
**[05:05] Suga**
* Like Kageyama...*
* No, even more powerful than him.*
**[05:09] Suga**
* His ball control allows him*
* to hit it anywhere he wants.*
**[05:12] Suga**
*So this is the captain of Seijoh.*
**[05:14] Oikawa**
Okay, let's score another one.
**[05:21] Yama**
Tsukki!
**[05:24] Tsuki**
Damn.
**[05:25] Sawa**
Don't mind, Tsukishima.
**[05:28] Hinata**
* Tsukishima is always mean.*
* I hate him.*
**[05:31] ---**
*But this time...*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[05:33] Oika**
Oh. One more point and we're tied.
**[05:36] Hinata**
Hey. You, Great King.
**[05:38] Hinata**
Aim at me! I'll receive it! Aim here!
**[05:41] ---**
Don't underestimate me! Aim here!
**[05:42] Oikawa**
*"Great King"?*
**[05:43] Tsuki**
Stop raising a fuss. It's embarrassing.
**[05:45] Hinata**
What did you say?
**[05:47] Hinata**
* We're in real trouble,*
* and he still irritates me.*
**[05:50] Hinata**
*But... but...*
**[05:52] (Flashback) Tanaka**
Listen.
**[05:53] (Flashback) Hin/Tan**
In volleyball,
**[05:53] Hin/Tan**
In volleyball,
**[05:56] Hinata**
everyone on this side
of the net is your ally.
**[06:00] Tanaka**
What a beautiful adage.
**[06:03] Sawa**
All right. All of you scoot to the back.
**[06:05] Sawa**
Tsukishima, you go closer to the sideline.
**[06:08] Tsuki**
Yes.
**[06:09] Sawa**
All right. Bring it.
**[06:12] Oikawa**
Hmm.
***SIGN*** Net
**[06:13] ---**
So Captain-kun, expert at receiving,
**[06:16] Oikawa**
is expanding the defense...
**[06:18] Oikawa**
However...
**[06:19] Oikawa**
you can't defend it all by yourself.
**[06:23] Yama**
Tsukki!
**[06:23] Takeda**
He's aimed it directly at the edge.
**[06:26] Suga**
But he sacrificed some of his power
to get that accuracy.
**[06:31] Suga**
It went up.
**[06:32] Yama**
Tsukki, nice.
**[06:33] Oikawa**
He got it. Good for him.
**[06:35] ---**
Maybe I made it too easy for him.
**[06:37] Oikawa**
However...
**[06:38] Oikawa**
This is our chance ball.
**[06:41] Tsuki**
Damn.
**[06:42] Oikawa**
There. A sweet, sweet chance ball.
**[06:45] Oikawa**
Score it good, guys.
**[06:47] Yahaba**
All right.
**[06:48] Suga**
*This is bad.*
**[06:49] ---**
*Our rotation has no height for blocking.*
**[06:53] Yahaba**
Kindaichi.
**[06:54] Kindaichi**
*All right, I'll completely thwart the block...*
**[06:58] Kindaichi**
*The shrimp... how is he here?*
**[07:01] Kage**
It's up.
**[07:02] Tanaka**
Nice one-touch.
**[07:03] Sawa**
Chance ball.
**[07:04] Kindaichi**
Damn! I'll slam it down the next time.
**[07:10] Kage**
* I can't catch up to him if I'm*
* one step, one second behind.*
**[07:14] Kage**
*The only thing that can catch up to him...*
**[07:17] Kage**
*is the ball.*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[07:44] Student**
What was that?
**[07:45] Student2**
He came from the other end
of the court, in a flash.
**[07:47] Student3**
That toss was like it got sucked
into the spiker's hand.
**[07:50] Oikawa**
Wow...
**[07:52] Tanaka**
All right.
**[07:55] Sawa**
Line up.
**[07:58] Suga**
What's the matter?
**[08:00] Takeda**
That was amazing.
**[08:01] Suga**
Oh, right.
**[08:03] ---**
Today is your first time seeing
Hinata and Kageyama's attack.
**[08:07] Suga**
Aren't they amazing?
I mean amazing, even scary.
**[08:11] Team**
Please coach us.
**[08:13] Suga**
Sensei, maybe give a critique or something.
**[08:15] Takeda**
O-Oh, I see.
**[08:17] Takeda**
Um... I'm just a beginner when
it comes to volleyball, but...
**[08:22] Takeda**
But even I can tell, that something
amazing is going on here.
**[08:30] Takada**
We have some amazing
first-years this semester.
**[08:34] Takada**
They were hard to handle in the beginning,
**[08:36] Takada**
but I learned something today.
**[08:40] ---**
We're nothing if we don't cooperate.
**[08:42] Takada**
A chemical synergy happens when
each one encounters the other...
**[08:48] Takada**
Even this very moment is giving birth
**[08:50] ---**
to other encounters
that will change the world.
**[08:53] Takada**
Maybe in some far, remote country.
**[08:57] Takada**
Maybe on the other side of the planet.
**[09:00] Takada**
Or maybe at an ordinary volleyball club,
at an ordinary high school,
**[09:05] Takada**
in a northern countryside
on a small island in the east.
**[09:11] Takada**
I think that encounters like that
happened to Karasuno today.
**[09:16] Takada**
I know I can't prove what I say,
but it's better than not believing.
**[09:20] Takada**
All of you will most likely
become stronger. Much stronger!
**[09:30] Takada**
Sorry! That was a little too poetic!
**[09:32] Takada**
Are you turned off?
**[09:33] Sawa**
No, no, no, of course not.
**[09:35] Sawa**
Thank you.
**[09:36] Sawa**
Thank you.
**[09:37] Takada**
Oh, y-yeah.
**[09:44] Kage**
Kindaichi.
**[09:55] (Flashback) Kindaichi**
All of us have had enough of him.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Kindaichi**
Sure he's got individual attack power,
but he's clearly impeding the team.

**[10:04] (Flashback) Kindaichi**
To be frank,
we're better off without him.
**[10:14] Kindaichi**
Don't apologize!
**[10:17] Kindaichi**
Because I won't apologize, either.
**[10:20] Kage**
Yeah.
**[10:21] Kindaichi**
You're still an oppressive king,
as far as I'm concerned.
**[10:24] Kindaichi**
You're irritating, and there's no one
I want to crush more than you.
**[10:29] Kage**
Yeah.
**[10:30] Kindaichi**
So don't apologize.
**[10:31] Kage**
Yeah.
**[10:32] Kindaichi**
I'm not reconciling with you.
**[10:34] ---**
We weren't friends in the first place.
**[10:36] Kage**
Yeah.
**[10:38] Kindaichi**
And the next time, we'll win for sure.
**[10:47] Kage**
The next time...
**[10:47] Hinata**
Toilet, toilet, toilet...
**[10:51] Hinata**
Who am I?
**[10:52] ---**
The guy who'll become the ace.
**[10:56] Hinata**
* Oh, crap. This is that one thing...*
* There's bad blood between those two.*
**[11:00] Hinata**
*This vibe tells me I should stay back.*
**[11:02] Kage**
Kindaichi.
**[11:04] Kage**
The next time we battle, we will win again.
**[11:15] Kunimi**
What were you guys talking about?
**[11:17] Kindaichi**
He... said "we."
**[11:21] Hinata**
Did you cry?
**[11:22] Kindaichi**
He used to always say "I" like
he was the only one playing.
**[11:22] Kage**
Of course I didn't cry, idiot.
Now go use the toilet.
**[11:25] Hinata**
You can't fool me, Kageyama-kun.
**[11:28] Kage**
Hinata, you dumbass.
**[11:30] Kindaichi**
Damn...
**[11:32] ---**
I kind of feel defeated.
**[11:36] Kindaichi**
Wh-What was that for?
**[11:40] Teams**
Thank you very much.
**[11:44] Sawa**
Takeda-sensei complimented us,
**[11:47] Sawa**
but frankly, if we were facing
Seijoh and Oikawa in an all-out match,
**[11:51] Sawa**
we'd be lacking.
**[11:55] Oikawa**
Spoken like a true captain.
**[11:58] Oikawa**
You know your stuff.
**[12:03] Hinata**
The Great King makes his entrance!
**[12:05] Tanaka**
You got a problem, dude?
**[12:06] Hinata**
What do you want?
**[12:07] Tanaka**
Wanna fight, huh?
**[12:08] Hinata**
Wanna fight, huh?
**[12:10] Oikawa**
Don't be so hostile.
**[12:13] Oikawa**
You, little one.
**[12:14] Hinata**
Huh?
**[12:14] Oikawa**
Your last one-touch and
broad attack were amazing.
**[12:18] Hinata**
Huh? Oh...
**[12:20] Oikawa**
Let's give it all we got the next time,
right from the start.
**[12:24] Oikawa**
You didn't get to see our set up.
**[12:27] Oikawa**
Oh, yes, and we'll be
improving our serves, too.
**[12:31] Hinata**
*That's true.*
**[12:34] ---**
* Those serves would come*
* continuously from the start.*
**[12:39] Oikawa**
It's true, your offense was amazing,
**[12:42] Oikawa**
but your receives aren't polished.
You'll reach your limit very quickly.
**[12:46] Oikawa**
I'm not the only one who
hits powerful serves.
**[12:51] Oikawa**
The Inter-High preliminaries
are coming up soon.
**[12:53] Oikawa**
Don't get eliminated, okay?
**[12:55] Oikawa**
Because I...
**[12:58] Oikawa**
want to pulverize my dear underclassman,
setter-on-setter, in an official match.
**[13:05] Hinata**
The receivers will train.
**[13:07] Tsuki**
Hey, let go.
**[13:08] Oikawa**
Receivers don't improve overnight.
**[13:13] Oikawa**
Ask the captain. He should know.
**[13:16] Oikawa**
There's not much time left
'til the tournament.
**[13:19] Oikawa**
I look forward to seeing you there.
**[13:23] Kage**
Don't let him get to you.
**[13:24] ---**
He likes to razz people like that.
**[13:31] Sawa**
It's true. We don't have much time
before the Inter-High preliminaries,
**[13:34] Sawa**
but *he* should be coming back soon.
**[13:38] Hinata**
Who's coming back soon?
**[13:41] Sawa**
The Guardian Deity of Karasuno.
**[13:45] ---**
*The Guardian Deity of Karasuno...?*
**[14:04] Iwaizumi**
Kageyama has become more amazing.
**[14:07] Oizumi**
Yeah. That genius was spinning his wheels,
**[14:09] ---**
but finally found his best destination.
**[14:12] Oizumi**
No commoner could hold
a candle to him now.
**[14:14] Iwaizumi**
Yeah? You're no match for him either, then?
**[14:17] Oizumi**
When it comes to the toss.
**[14:18] Oizumi**
There's probably no one in the prefecture
who could match Tobio's toss.
**[14:22] Oizumi**
But he's not better than me at
serving, blocking, or spiking.
**[14:25] Oizumi**
Ouch.
**[14:27] Iwaizumi**
Damn it, Oikawa!
Don't say his toss is better than yours!
**[14:30] Iwaizumi**
You're a setter, aren't you?
**[14:31] Oizumi**
But I'm only being honest.
**[14:34] Oizumi**
That's why we have to break their receivers.
**[14:37] Oizumi**
Because no matter how
amazing his tosses are,
**[14:39] Oizumi**
if the ball doesn't get to the
setter, it's all for nothing.
**[14:42] Oizumi**
If we can play against
Karasuno in an official game,
**[14:44] Oizumi**
we can make a mess out of their receives,
**[14:47] Oizumi**
and not even give them a chance at a toss.
**[14:49] Oizumi**
Just having one good player
doesn't mean you'll win.
**[14:51] Oizumi**
How I want to say "don't mind" to them.
**[14:52] ---**
How I want to say it.
**[14:54] Oizumi**
What? Don't geniuses piss you off?
**[14:57] Iwaizumi**
Guys that girls squeal over
piss me off even more.
**[15:01] ---**
Ow!
**[15:02] Oizumi**
You shouldn't be jealous Iwa-chan.
It's embarrassing.
**[15:04] ---**
Ow... Ow, Iwa-chan!
**[15:04] Hanamaki**
Hey, quit fooling around.
Coach'll get mad.
**[15:09] Sawa**
All right, let's clean up quickly.
Then we're done.
**[15:12] Sawa**
Good job today.
**[15:13] Team**
Good job.
**[15:14] Kage**
Hey.
**[15:16] Sawa**
Sensei, thank you for everything today.
**[15:18] Takeda**
No, no, everyone did a good job.
**[15:20] Takeda**
I'm shocked by how we beat
Aoba Johsai High School.
**[15:25] Sawa**
But we're still lacking.
**[15:28] Sawa**
Our offense is effective now due
to Hinata and Kageyama's dynamics,
**[15:33] Sawa**
but if Hinata gets in the way of the blocks,
**[15:34] Ennoshita**
Hinata, that's enough mopping. Go home.
**[15:35] Sawa**
or if the receives get broken
like they did today,
**[15:36] Yama**
Look at that, Tsukki.
**[15:38] Sawa**
we would definitely find
ourselves at a loss.
**[15:38] Tsuki**
Amazing.
**[15:40] Sawa**
And when that happens,
I don't know if I can guide the team
**[15:46] Sawa**
as a director or coach could.
**[15:47] Takeda**
I see...
**[15:49] Sawa**
I apologize. I'm not saying
that you're not good enough.
**[15:53] Takeda**
I know, I know.
**[15:55] Takeda**
I'll take care of finding a coach.
**[15:57] Takeda**
I have a lead.
**[15:58] Sawa**
Oh? Really? Who is it?

Can I leave the rest to you for today?
**[16:10] Sawa**
Oh, yes.

Hello, Sakanoshita Shop.
**[17:15] Keishin**
You again?
**[17:19] Tanaka**
But I gotta say...
**[17:21] Tanaka**
Nice Guy sure has an amazing serve.
**[17:23] Tanaka**
We would've been in trouble
if he'd played from the start.
**[17:26] Tanaka**
He's Kageyama's junior high
senpai, after all...
**[17:29] ---**
Huh?
**[17:30] Tanaka**
Wait a second. Why are you
at Karasuno, Kageyama?
**[17:35] Tanaka**
The strongest school in the
prefecture is Shiratorizawa.
**[17:39] Hinata**
Shiratori?
**[17:40] Tanaka**
Shiratorizawa.
They're top in the prefecture.
**[17:43] Tanaka**
They're a powerhouse school ranked
among the top eight in the country.
**[17:47] Hinata**
Oh.
**[17:49] Kage**
I didn't make Shiratorizawa.
**[17:51] Tanaka**
You didn't make it?
**[17:52] Kage**
I never got a recommendation from them,
so I took a general entrance exam.
**[17:56] Kage**
I didn't understand the exam at all.
**[17:58] Sawa**
That school is super hard to
get into by conventional means.
**[18:03] Tsuki**
I guess the King isn't very good at studies.
**[18:05] Yama**
See ya.
**[18:06] Hinata**
But why did you come to Karasuno?
**[18:08] Hinata**
Are you an admirer of the Little Giant, too?
**[18:12] Kage**
I heard Coach Ukai is
coming out of retirement.
**[18:15] Hinata**
Ukai?
**[18:17] Tanaka**
An outstanding coach who took unknown
Karasuno to the spring nationals!
**[18:22] Hinata**
Wow.
**[18:23] Tanaka**
The name "Ukai of Karasuno" is famous.
**[18:25] Tanaka**
They called him the coach
in charge of vicious crows.
**[18:29] Suga**
Second and third-years got
some coaching from him.
**[18:33] Suga**
He was pretty Spartan.
**[18:36] Suga**
Why do you look so envious?
**[18:39] Suga**
Coach Ukai was going to officially
come out of retirement, but...
**[18:42] (Flashback) Kage**
He collapsed?
**[18:43] (Flashback) Suga**
Right now, there's no information
about his recovery prospects. Sorry...
**[18:47] Kage**
But I figured, no matter
what school I attended,
**[18:50] Kage**
I'd be up against high
school students like me.
**[18:52] Kage**
There's no reason why I couldn't win.
**[18:54] Tanaka**
Quit being a sore loser.
**[18:56] ---**
You can act cool about it,
but you failed just the same.
**[18:58] Kage**
That's not true,
and I'm not acting cool about it.
**[19:01] Kage**
We did defeat a top four
team today, didn't we?
**[19:04] Tanaka**
True, 2-1 against Seijoh.
**[19:07] Tanaka**
I was able to score one free, too,
thanks to Hinata's decoy.
**[19:10] Hinata**
Thanks.
**[19:12] Tanaka**
But how was your debut match for you?
**[19:27] Tanaka**
Well, you really went crazy in that first set.
**[19:31] Kage**
You scored as many points as you lost,
so don't get complacent.
**[19:35] Suga**
Why must you say things like that?
**[19:37] Sawa**
That's right.
**[19:39] Sawa**
We're lacking in a lot of ways.
**[19:42] Sawa**
Today's victory was by
the skin of our teeth.
**[19:44] Hinata**
I-I will practice a lot!
**[19:45] Sawa**
Oh, yeah. Individual
level-upping is important, too.
**[19:49] Sawa**
But Karasuno, as it currently stands,
is fundamentally short of members.
**[19:53] Kage**
That's true.
**[19:56] Kage**
We need a libero, especially for defense.
**[19:58] Kage**
And we need an ace spiker who can
battle three blockers all by himself.
**[20:03] Hinata**
A-Ace? That can be me.
**[20:05] Kage**
I told you, you're the best decoy.
**[20:10] Kage**
But didn't you say the
"Guardian Deity" is coming back?
**[20:13] Sawa**
Yeah.
**[20:14] Suga**
We're not powerful, but we're
not particularly weak, either.
**[20:17] Suga**
We had outstanding players in the past, too.
**[20:20] Suga**
But we were never able to apply
their strengths effectively.
**[20:25] Saw**
But if all of us unite,
**[20:27] Sawa**
and we also have new strength
coming from our first-years...
**[20:30] Sawa**
If we're able to connect all
those strengths together...
**[20:34] Sawa**
...we could definitely go to the Summer
Inter-High, the national tournament.
**[20:38] Sawa**
It won't just be a distant goal.
It can actually happen.
**[20:43] Hinata**
The Summer Inter-High Tournament.
I've heard about it.
**[20:45] Kage**
But that person who's coming back...
where has he been all this time?
**[20:53] Tanaka**
He was suspended for one week,
**[20:55] ---**
and banned for a month from club activities.
**[20:58] Hinata**
A delinquent? He's a delinquent?
**[21:00] Tanaka**
No... he just gets too fired up.
**[21:04] Tanaka**
He's a good guy, for real.
**[21:06] Kage**
* If Tanaka-san says he gets "too fired up,"*
* how extreme could this guy be?*
**[21:09] Tanaka**
And not only that, he is...
**[21:11] Tanaka**
a player we could say is
Karasuno's unique genius.
**[21:15] Tanaka**
But I guess he's not the only one anymore,
**[21:18] ---**
since we have the cocky-as-hell
Kageyama with us.
**[21:22] Sawa**
Call him "senpai" when he comes back, Hinata.
**[21:25] Sawa**
You'll make him gleeful
like an idiot, like Tanaka.
**[21:28] Tanaka**
Like an idiot?
**[21:32] Hinata**
* Guardian Deity, huh?*
* I wonder what he's like.*
**[21:35] Tanaka**
Hey, we're leaving you behind.
**[21:37] Hinata**
Oh. Coming!
**[21:54] Kage**
*It's going to hit.*
**[22:01] Kage**
Hey, get out of the way,
dumbass Hinata!
**[22:04] Kage**
That could've hit.
**[22:05] Hinata**
Did I get it? Did I?
**[22:07] Kage**
You didn't get it, dumbass.
You hit a home run.
**[22:10] Hinata**
I'll go get it.
**[22:10] Kage**
Idiot.
**[22:17] Kage**
*I got it this time.*

**[00:24] Nishinoya**
Huh? Hey, what did you just say?
**[00:26] Hinata**
I-I'm sorry.
**[00:29] Hinata**
Um... how tall are you?
**[00:33] Nishinoya**
I'm 159 centimeters.

*I-In the 150s!*

Wh-What?
**[00:40] Hinata**
It's the first time I've looked down at someone
**[00:42] ---**
since I started high school club activities.
**[00:45] Nishinoya**
Don't weep with joy about it!
**[00:46] ---**
You're not looking down that far!
**[00:49] Tanaka**
Hey! Noya-san.
**[00:51] Nishinoya**
Hey, Ryu.
**[00:53] Sawa/Suga**
Nishinoya.
**[00:55] Nishi**
Hey!
**[00:56] Sawa**
Let me introduce you.
**[00:58] Sawa**
This is Nishinoya, a second-year.
**[01:00] Hin/Kag**
Hi.
**[01:01] Nishi**
Hey! You guys are first-years, huh?
**[01:03] Nishi**
You, the guy that was serving!
The tall guy with the nasty glare.
**[01:07] Nishi**
What junior high are you from?
**[01:09] Kage**
Kitagawa Daiichi.
**[01:10] Nishi**
Seriously?
**[01:11] ---**
That's a power school.
No wonder you serve like that.
**[01:14] Nishi**
We played against you guys and lost 2 to 1.
**[01:18] Nishi**
Your serve was amazing then, too.
**[01:20] Sawa/Suga**
Noisy as ever.
**[01:22] Kage**
What junior high were you at, Nishinoya-san?
**[01:25] Nishi**
Chidoriyama.
**[01:27] Kage**
That's a power school.
**[01:29] ---**
Why did you come to Karasuno?
**[01:31] Kage**
Because you heard coach Ukai
was coming back?
**[01:35] Nishi**
No... I came to Karasuno because...
**[01:42] Nishi**
Because I like the girls' uniform.
**[01:44] ---**
Intensely.
**[01:47] Nishi**
And the girls have lived up
to my expectations.
**[01:51] ---**
And above all...
**[01:53] Nishi**
because of the boy's uniform. In black!
**[01:57] Nishi**
I wore a blazer in junior high,
so I admired this uniform.
**[02:00] Nishi**
It's not brown or grey, but black!
**[02:02] Tanaka**
I know what you mean.
**[02:03] Nishi**
Karasuno has black uniforms,
and the girl's uniform is cute.
**[02:07] Nishi**
The school's close to home.
It was a no-brainer.
**[02:12] Nishi**
Kiyoko-san! I've come to see you!
**[02:16] Suga**
He's like a hurricane, as usual.
**[02:18] Hinata**
A guerrilla downpour.
**[02:20] Sawa**
Quite the noisemaker, isn't he?
**[02:22] Sawa**
Yet when he plays, he's surprisingly...
**[02:25] Sawa**
...quiet.
**[02:27] Nishi**
And? Where's Asahi-san? Did he come back?
**[02:32] Sawa**
No.
**[02:37] Nishi**

Hey, Noya!
Don't talk like that about your senpai!

*Even if the ball bounces off the wall...*
**[04:46] Nishi**
*I'll make sure it stays connected.*
**[04:49] Nishi**
*So give me another chance.*
**[04:52] Nishi**
* Give me another chance to*
* let you decide the toss...*
**[04:54] Nishi**
*Ace.*
***SIGN*** Episode 8: He Who is Called "Ace"
**[05:00] Hinata**
U-Um...
**[05:03] Hinata**
Nishinoya-san, you're a libero, right?
**[05:06] ---**
You're a defender.
**[05:07] Nishi**
It's Nishinoya.
**[05:09] ---**
And what makes you think I'm a libero?
**[05:11] Nishi**
Because I'm short?
**[05:12] Hinata**
Huh? No...
**[05:14] Hinata**
Because you're a good receiver.
**[05:17] Hinata**
Libero is a position for good receivers, right?
**[05:20] Hinata**
That's right, isn't it?
**[05:22] Nishi**
You know what you're talking about.
**[05:25] Hinata**
Plus, the captain also called
you the Guardian God.
**[05:29] Nishi**
Guardian? What the heck is that?
**[05:31] Nishi**
He's exaggerating.
I'm not all that...
**[05:37] Nishi**
He really said that?
**[05:38] Hinata**
Yeah, yeah.
**[05:40] Nishi**
But I don't care if he called me
a cool name like that.
**[05:42] Nishi**
I won't bend so easily.
**[05:45] Nishi**
Damn you, Daichi-san!
**[05:47] Hinata**
I'm still lousy at receiving,
**[05:50] Hinata**
even though it's the most
important thing in volleyball.
**[05:54] Hinata**
So please teach me how, Nishi...
**[05:57] Hinata**
Nishinoya-senpai.
**[06:05] Nishi**
You...
**[06:08] Nishi**
I'll buy you ice cream after practice.
**[06:11] Hinata**
Huh?
**[06:12] Nishi**
Because I'm...
**[06:15] Nishi**
...your senpai!
**[06:18] Hinata**
Does that mean...
**[06:19] Nishi**
That doesn't mean I'm going
back to that club.
**[06:22] Nishi**
I'm going to teach you. That's all.
**[06:24] Hinata**
Thanks.
**[06:29] Nishi**
So, essentially...
**[06:32] Nishi**
You go zip, then go whoop, and pow.
**[06:35] Nishi**
Like that.
**[06:39] Tanaka**
It's no good.
**[06:40] ---**
He can't explain it because
he moves purely on instinct.
**[06:43] Kage**
Really? I sort of understood
what he was saying.
**[06:46] Tanaka**
Because you belong to his species.
**[06:48] Tanaka**
When you explain something,
**[06:50] ---**
all you say is "pow" and "whoa" and stuff.
**[06:52] Tanaka**
Nobody else understands you.
**[06:55] Takeda**
Libero is a special position, isn't it?
**[06:58] Sawa**
Yes.
***SIGN*** Libero (L)
**[07:00] Sawa**
The libero specializes
exclusively in defense.
**[07:03] Sawa**
They're not allowed to make offensive plays,
like serving or spiking.
**[07:06] Sawa**
They switch places with the
rearguards to solidify defense.
**[07:10] Takeda**
So that's the Guardian God of Karasuno.
**[07:12] ---**
How awesome.
**[07:14] Sawa**
It would give us a real shot
in the arm if he came back.
***SIGN*** Master of a Hundred Battles
**[07:18] Sawa**
He has a very strong presence,
notwithstanding his short stature.
**[07:18] Nishi**
You, I've been noticing your height.
**[07:20] Nishi**
How tall are you?
**[07:21] Yama**
Tsukki is—
**[07:22] Tsuki**
Shut up, Yamaguchi.
**[07:22] Sawa**
He inspires confidence.
**[07:23] Yama**
Sorry, Tsukki.
**[07:25] Suga**
In any case,
Nishinoya hasn't lost his touch at all.
**[07:28] Tanaka**
He said he continued training
even after he got suspended.
**[07:31] Tanaka**
Apparently he mingled with a
middle-aged ladies' team.
**[07:34] Suga**
That sounds like Hinata.
**[07:36] Hinata**
Um, Nishinoya-senpai.
**[07:38] Nishi**
Hm?
**[07:39] Hinata**
You were talking about
"Asahi-san." Who's he?
**[07:42] Tanaka**
Moron, don't say that name carelessly.
**[07:46] Nishi**
He's Karasuno's ace, for what it's worth.
**[07:50] Hinata**
Ace?
**[07:51] Hinata**
*So there is an ace here.*
**[07:54] Nishi**
What's with the empty-headed look?
**[07:56] Hinata**
I... want to be the ace.
**[07:59] Nishi**
Huh?
**[08:00] Nishi**
Ace? With your height?
**[08:06] Nishi**
I like you.
**[08:08] Nishi**
Right? You want it because
it's awesome, right?
**[08:11] Nishi**
Good, good. Do it, do it.
Become the ace.
**[08:14] Nishi**
You'd be far more impressive
than our current ace.
**[08:19] Nishi**
But then again, it's the
ace that inspires you.
**[08:22] Hinata**
Yes. Aces are awesome.
**[08:24] Nishi**
The word "ace" has an awesome ring to it.
**[08:28] Nishi**
"Setter" and "libero" sound boring.
**[08:31] Suga**
It's all right.
**[08:33] Nishi**
But... in a match,
when the crowd is going crazy...
**[08:41] Nishi**
even more than at an amazing spike,
**[08:43] ---**
is when there's a super receive.
**[08:46] Nishi**
In the battle of height that is volleyball,
**[08:48] ---**
libero is one of the few positions
in which a short player can survive.
**[08:53] Nishi**
But I'm not a libero because of my height.
**[08:57] Nishi**
I'd be a libero even if
I was two meters tall.
**[09:03] Nishi**
Even if your side misses the spike,
even if your side can't block...
**[09:06] Nishi**
as long as the ball doesn't
hit the court...
**[09:08] Nishi**
in volleyball, that means you haven't lost.
**[09:12] Nishi**
And the one best suited to do that...
**[09:15] Nishi**
...is the libero.
**[09:17] Hinata**
A-Awesome.
**[09:20] Nishi**
J-Jackass. Don't say it
so sincerely! Damn it!
**[09:23] Nishi**
I'll buy you two kinds of ice cream.
Soda ice and pear flavor.
**[09:26] Hinata**
Thanks!
**[09:27] Nishi**
So, ace-wannabe.
What's your specialty?
**[09:30] Hinata**
Huh?
**[09:31] Nishi**
You're a lousy receiver, but there
must be something you're good at.
**[09:34] Hinata**
Well, um...
**[09:36] Hinata**
Decoy...
**[09:38] Nishi**
Huh? De-what?
**[09:40] Hinata**
Decoy.
**[09:43] Nishi**
Why do you say it with
such a lack of confidence?
**[09:46] Hinata**
Because it doesn't sound flashy
like ace or Guardian God.
**[09:51] Nishi**
Who cares how it sounds?
**[09:53] Hinata**
But...
**[09:54] Nishi**
If a spiker is able to score
it's because of you, the decoy,
**[09:59] Nishi**
then your position is just as important.
**[10:04] Hinata**
Yes.
**[10:06] Suga**
Karasuno has the most formidable decoy now.
**[10:09] Suga**
Thanks to Hinata and Kageyama,
spikes that have never worked are possible.
**[10:14] Sawa**
Yeah.
**[10:16] Suga**
I feel we're definitely about to change,
**[10:18] Suga**
because of the synergy
Takeda-sensei was talking about.
**[10:21] Sawa**
I hope we change for the better.
**[10:23] Suga**
Don't be so doubtful.
**[10:28] Takeda**
I know I'm being stubborn,
but I'm begging you.
**[10:32] Takeda**
I'm inexperienced
and pathetically inadequate.
**[10:36] Takeda**
But those boys have wonderful potential.
**[10:38] Takeda**
Please be their coach,
**[10:42] Takeda**
Ukai-kun.
**[10:45] Ukai**
You sure are persistent, Sensei.
***SIGN*** Sakanoshita
**[10:48] Takeda**
That's the only thing I'm good at.
**[10:51] Ukai**
Being tenacious won't get me to coach them.
**[10:54] Ukai**
My granddad was a coach,
but I'm not cut out for it.
**[11:01] Ukai**
Sensei, I know you want a
technical instructor,
**[11:06] Ukai**
but what you're really after is
the illustrious name of "Ukai."
**[11:09] Takeda**
Frankly, there is that, too.
**[11:12] Takeda**
Ever since Coach Ukai retired,
**[11:14] ---**
our school gradually fell
behind other schools.
**[11:17] Takeda**
This year I was hired
to fill the hole he had left,
**[11:19] Takeda**
but I can't even get other schools
to agree to practice matches.
**[11:22] Ukai**
You think my illustrious name
would turn things around?
**[11:26] Takeda**
I implore you, Ukai-kun.
**[11:28] Ukai**
I refuse.
**[11:30] Ukai**
I acknowledge your commitment,
**[11:33] Ukai**
but I don't want to babysit
a bunch of pesky high schoolers.
**[11:38] Takeda**
I'll be back.
**[11:41] Ukai**
What part of, "I refuse,"
don't you understand?
**[11:45] Takeda**
I'm sorry for being so persistent,
**[11:47] Takeda**
but,
**[11:49] ---**
you'll understand if you see those boys play.
**[11:56] Ukai**
Hey! I don't care how many
times you ask. I'm not—
**[12:01] Ukai**
Damn it!
**[12:03] Ukai**
Ouch!
**[12:11] Suga**
All right.
**[12:34] Asahi**
Hey, Suga. It's been a while.
**[12:37] Suga**
Please.
**[12:39] ---**
Come back to us, Asahi.
**[12:44] Suga**
Nishinoya's no longer suspended.
He's coming back, too.
**[12:47] Asashi**
I see. I'm glad.
**[12:49] ---**
It's reassuring to have Nishinoya behind you.
**[12:53] Suga**
And you, too.
**[12:54] Suga**
Everyone feels better when you're
there to decide the toss.
**[12:58] Asa**
I appreciate the sentiment,
**[13:01] ---**
but I'd get in everyone's way
again if I came back.
**[13:04] Suga**
Listen to me.
**[13:05] ---**
I hate to admit it, but we have an amazing first-year setter now,
**[13:08] ---**
and a formidable decoy.
**[13:11] Suga**
You won't have to bear
all the burden alone any more.
**[13:14] Suga**
If you and Nishinoya come back,
along with our new reinforcements,
**[13:18] ---**
Karasuno will no longer be the fallen champs.
**[13:21] Suga**
Now that our team is on
the verge of transformation,
**[13:23] ---**
we need our pillar,
the ace, more than ev—
**[13:24] Student**
Azumane.
**[13:26] Student**
The guidance counselor's ready for you.
**[13:29] Asa**
Sorry, Suga.
**[13:34] Hinata**
You better go first.
**[13:35] Kage**
You're the one who wanted to see the ace.
**[13:38] Hinata**
B-But the third-year classroom is scary.
**[13:41] Suga**
Wait, Asahi!
**[13:42] Hin/Kag**
Asahi?
**[13:43] Asa**
What?
**[13:45] Suga**
Huh? What are you guys doing here?
**[13:48] Hinata**
Oh, um...
***SIGN*** Faculty Room
**[13:50] Takeda**
Yes. Yes!
**[13:52] Takeda**
Thank you very much.
**[13:53] Takeda**
No, you, too. Yes. Goodbye.
**[14:00] Takada**
Good, good.
**[14:01] Takeda**
This is our big chance.
**[14:03] Takeda**
Something...
***SIGN*** Training Camp 5/6 (Practice Match) 9:00 AM
**[14:05] Takeda**
Something is bound to change.
***SIGN*** Third-Year Class 3
**[14:08] Suga**
Let me introduce our new members,
Hinata and Kageyama.
**[14:12] Asa**
So you're the first-years.
**[14:14] Hin/Kag**
Hello.
**[14:15] Asa Vo**
Hey. How many, this year?
**[14:16] Hinata**
*He's shorter than Tsukishima,*
**[14:18] Suga Vo**
Four.
**[14:19] Hinata**
*but there's something bigger about him.*
**[14:22] Hinata**
*So he's the ace of Karasuno.*
**[14:23] Asa**
I see.
**[14:25] Hinata**
*He's not as scary as I first thought.*
**[14:27] Asa**
Do your best.
**[14:28] Hinata**
*What?*
**[14:29] ---**
Aren't you going to play, too?
**[14:32] Hinata**
I want to become the ace,
**[14:34] ---**
so I want to watch an ace play in person.
**[14:37] Student**
Azumane. Sensei's waiting.
**[14:41] Asa**
Sorry, but I'm no ace.
**[14:48] Kage**
Is he injured or something?
**[14:50] Suga**
No, it's not like that...
**[14:54] Suga**
I think...
**[14:56] ---**
I think the problem is that he
doesn't like volleyball any more.
**[14:59] Hinata**
What? But he's so tall
and he's an ace! Why?
**[15:04] Suga**
Asahi was...
**[15:06] Suga**
the tallest in Karasuno,
**[15:08] Suga**
and he had power.
**[15:10] Suga**
He rescued us when things got rough
and managed difficult balls.
**[15:15] Suga**
That's why everyone acknowledged
that he was the ace,
**[15:18] ---**
and we trusted him.
**[15:20] Suga**
But...
**[15:22] Kage**
Was he defeated?
**[15:25] Suga**
There was a match in which
all of his spikes got blocked.
**[15:31] Suga**
He's the type to shoulder all the blame.
**[15:39] Kage**
What?
**[15:41] Hinata**
Would something like that
make you dislike volleyball?
**[15:44] Kage**
There must've been other reasons.
**[15:47] Hinata**
Like what?
**[15:48] Kage**
I don't know.
**[15:49] Kage**
But we don't know if he
dislikes it for sure.
**[15:57] Nishi**
Rolling...
**[15:59] Nishi**
...thunder!
**[16:06] Suga**
Nice receive.
**[16:07] Tanaka**
That's just an ordinary rolling receive.
**[16:09] Kage**
Why did he yell that out?
**[16:11] Tsuki**
What was that?
**[16:12] Nishi**
Kageyama. Tsukishima. Yamaguchi.
**[16:14] Nishi**
I'm going to lecture you all.
**[16:16] ---**
Crouch down! I mean, sit down!
**[16:18] Nishi**
Get lower than my line of vision!
**[16:19] Hinata**
Teach me! Teach me the Rolling Thunder!
**[16:22] Takeda**
Good job, everyone.
**[16:24] Takeda**
I want you all to listen up.
**[16:26] Takeda**
We're doing it again this year, aren't we?
**[16:29] Takeda**
Golden Week training camp!
**[16:31] Hinata**
*Training camp?*
**[16:33] Sawa**
Yes. We still need a lot of practice.
**[16:36] Takeda**
One more thing.
For the last day of Golden Week...
**[16:40] Takeda**
I've arranged a practice match!
**[16:43] Tanaka**
Awesome! Very impressive, Take-chan.
**[16:45] Suga**
Who's our opponent?
**[16:47] Tanaka**
A venerated school in Tokyo,
Nekoma High School.
**[16:50] Tanaka**
They call themselves...
**[16:53] Tanaka**
"Neko."
**[16:55] Hinata**
Neko?
**[16:56] Tanaka**
We've heard a lot about them.
**[16:59] Tanaka**
Our former coach and theirs were rivals.
**[17:01] ---**
We played each other a lot.
**[17:03] Hinata**
Whoa.
**[17:04] Suga**
That's right.
**[17:05] ---**
Those famous matches were called
"Cat vs Crow: Battle at the Garbage Dump."
**[17:10] Tsuki**
You sure those matches were famous?
**[17:13] Sawa**
They've refused us for a while. Why now?
**[17:16] Takeda**
Yeah, I'll tell you the details later.
**[17:20] Takeda**
But after I heard about that rival school,
**[17:23] Takeda**
I had to arrange for a rematch of destiny.
**[17:27] Takeda**
I think when he hears who our opponent is...
***SIGN*** Sakanoshita Shop
**[17:30] Takeda**
He'll want to take action.
**[17:36] Suga**
All right. We have an important
practice match coming up.
**[17:38] Suga**
Let's get fired up.
**[17:40] Team**
Yes.
**[17:42] Tanaka**
Tokyo, huh?
**[17:44] ---**
I'll smash those city boys to smithereens.
**[17:48] Tsuki**
He said, "shitty boys."
**[17:49] Tanaka**
Shut the hell up, Tsukishima!
**[17:52] Nishi**
Daichi-san.
**[17:54] Nishi**
I'm sorry. I won't be playing
in the practice match.
**[17:58] Sawa**
Nishinoya.
**[17:59] Hinata**
I wonder what the Tokyo school's like.
**[18:00] Nishi**
Shoyo is a good guy.
**[18:02] ---**
Are they strong?
**[18:02] ---**
The first-years are interesting
and a force to be reckoned with.
**[18:03] Kage**
How would I know? Just shut up.
**[18:06] Nishi**
I feel this team is going
in the right direction now.
**[18:11] Nishi**
I want to train with you all, too.
**[18:14] Nishi**
But...
**[18:15] Nishi**
if I played in the match and our team won,
**[18:19] Nishi**
it would be proof that
we can do without Asahi-san.
**[18:22] Nishi**
I don't like that.
**[18:24] Nishi**
He's always fought alongside us, but now...
**[18:27] Nishi**
I'm sorry for being difficult.
**[18:30] Sawa**
All right. But come to the training camp.
**[18:33] Nishi**
Huh? But...
**[18:34] Hinata**
Noya-san! Do it again.
Show me the Rolling Thunder again!
**[18:37] Sawa**
Okay?
**[18:44] Sawa**
Good job.
**[18:45] Team**
Good job!
**[18:48] Hinata**
I wonder if things would go smoother
**[18:50] ---**
for Sugawara-san and Nishinoya-san
if Asahi-san came back.
**[18:54] Kage**
Who knows?
**[18:55] Hinata**
I heard Asahi-san takes all
the blame upon himself,
**[18:59] Hinata**
but don't you think
Sugawara-san is like that, too?
**[19:03] Kage**
I guess they both have a
sense of responsibility,
**[19:07] Kage**
even though you don't win
a game by yourself.
**[19:09] Hinata**
Y-You should talk!
**[19:11] Hinata**
I clearly remember your words...
**[19:15] Hinata**
"I wish I could receive, toss,
and spike, all by myself."
**[19:20] Kage**
Shut up!
**[19:22] Hinata**
"I wish I could..."
**[19:29] Hinata**
Everyone on our side of
the net should be an ally.
**[19:32] Kage**
Huh?
**[19:34] Hinata**
I don't like it when we don't get along.
**[19:47] Asa**
I appreciate the sentiment, but...
**[19:49] Asa**
Why are you so interested in me?
We haven't even practiced together.
**[19:53] Hinata**
Because if you don't come back,
**[19:55] ---**
the second and third-years
will stay disheartened.
**[19:58] Kage**
You're being way too loud.
**[20:00] Asa**
You guys are interesting.
**[20:02] Asa**
But, I'm sorry to say...
**[20:05] Asa**
I can no longer visualize spiking
past high blocks in front of me.
**[20:15] Asa**
I can't get the thoughts of getting shut out,
**[20:17] ---**
of seeing myself intimidated,
and self-destructing out of my head...
**[20:22] Hinata**
Y-You might think what I'm about to say
is cocky for a first-year shrimp.
**[20:27] Asa**
I won't think that. What is it?
**[20:30] Hinata**
I understand how you feel.
**[20:31] Hinata**
I'm short and have no technique,
so I constantly get blocked.
**[20:36] Hinata**
But now...
**[20:38] Hinata**
I have this guy tossing to me,
**[20:39] ---**
so I can get past any blocker.
**[20:42] Hinata**
All the blockers vanish from sight...
**[20:44] Hinata**
And the view of the other
side of the net opens up.
**[20:48] Asa**
*Ah... I sort of know what that view is like.*
**[20:53] Hinata**
Then, at the highest point,
the ball hits my hand,
**[20:56] Hinata**
I feel the heft of the ball
snug in my palm.
**[21:00] Hinata**
I love that!
**[21:02] Asa**
*I know that feeling well.*
**[21:05] Hinata**
I envy you, Asahi-san.
**[21:08] Hinata**
I don't have the height or power
to spike through blockers on my own,
**[21:12] Asa**
but you do, Asahi-san.
**[21:14] Hinata**
Maybe they've blocked lots of your spikes,
**[21:17] Hinata**
but you've spiked lots
of points, too, haven't you?
**[21:21] Asa**
That's why everyone calls
you the ace, Asahi-san.
**[21:30] Kage**
It's time. Let's go.
**[21:33] Kage**
Moron, we'll be late for class.
**[21:39] Kage**
Um...
**[21:41] Kage**
You don't win alone.
That's just how it is.
**[21:43] Kage**
That's why there are six
players on the court.
**[21:46] Kage**
I didn't realize that till just recently,
**[21:49] Kage**
so I'm not one to talk.
**[21:51] ---**
Excuse me.
**[22:00] Student1**
Let's go home together.
**[22:02] Student2**
Want to grab a bite somewhere?
**[22:10] Hinata**
One more! Give me another!
**[22:13] Kage**
Shut up! I know that. Here goes.
**[22:15] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[22:23] Hinata**
* And then at the highest point,*
* the ball hits my hand,*
**[22:27] Hinata**
* I feel the heft of the ball,*
* snug in my palm*
**[22:31] Hinata**
*I love that!*
**[22:35] Asa**
*I know...*
**[22:39] Asa**
*I know it well.*

I wish Azumane-san would come back.
**[24:16] Hinata**
He had a stubbly beard.
**[24:17] Kage**
Huh?
**[24:18] Hinata**
Maybe I'd be like an ace
if I grew a stubbly beard.
**[24:21] Hinata**
Will a hair-growth lotion
help me grow a beard?
**[24:22] Kage**
Who knows, you numbskull?!

**[00:02] Hinata**
One more! Give me another!
**[00:04] Kage**
Shut up! I know that.
**[00:06] Kage**
Here goes.
**[00:07] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[00:13] Hinata**
Woo! That feels great!
**[00:16] (Flashback) Hinata**
I feel the heft of the ball,
snug in my palm.
**[00:20] Hinata**
*I love that.*
**[00:27] Hinata**
All right.
**[00:28] Hinata**
We'll use our quick attack against Neko!
**[00:32] Asahi**
*Neko?*
**[00:34] Asahi**
*A match against Nekoma?*
**[00:36] Sawa**
It'll be a practice match
on the last day of Golden Week.
**[00:39] Asahi**
Yikes.
**[00:40] Sawa**
What do you mean, "yikes"?
Hey, don't run away!
**[00:43] Asahi**
But you're scary when you get mad!
**[00:45] Sawa**
I'm not mad right now.
**[00:49] Sawa**
Well, Nekoma sounds
like ancient history to us.
**[00:54] Sawa**
Our generation doesn't have the same
Karasuno-Nekoma rivalry.
**[00:59] Sawa**
Although... "Cat vs Crow:
Battle at the Garbage Dump."
**[01:04] Sawa**
We've heard the stories about Neko.
**[01:06] ---**
It'll be our first match with them in years.
**[01:09] Sawa**
It does pique your interest, doesn't it?
**[01:12] Asahi**
But I've lost face with Suga and Nishinoya.
**[01:19] Sawa**
You're too much.
**[01:21] Sawa**
You're still a wimp in such
a big body, as usual.
**[01:25] Sawa**
What a contrast to Nishinoya.
**[01:27] Asa**
Can't you sugarcoat your words a little?
**[01:31] Sawa**
Don't worry. Both Suga
and Nishinoya are fine.
**[01:34] Sawa**
Unlike you, they have big hearts.
**[01:37] Asa**
Weren't you supposed to be a kind person?
**[01:41] Sawa**
I'm kind to everyone, except you.
**[01:43] Sawa**
Because you're a wimp.
**[01:45] Sawa**
You ditched us for a whole month,
you complain about your anxiety...
**[01:50] Sawa**
but those things don't matter to me.
**[01:54] Sawa**
If you still like volleyball,
**[01:57] Sawa**
that's reason enough to come back.
**[02:01] Sawa**
Oh, yeah.
**[02:03] ---**
We've got a guy who
hopes to become the ace.
**[02:12] Asa**
Ouch!

**[03:50] Kei**
memories do not return.
**[03:56] Kei**
Amidst the dancing lights of Hayase...
**[04:02] Kei**
Wh-What are you doing?
**[04:04] Takeda**
I'm sorry. I was checking to see
if you had any customers.
**[04:07] Kei**
You're here about the coaching
thing again, aren't you?
**[04:09] Takeda**
Yes.
**[04:12] Kei**
I still like to play.
**[04:15] ---**
I even have a local team.
**[04:18] Kei**
But I don't want to coach. It's stuffy.
**[04:21] Takeda**
I see...
**[04:22] Kei**
And I don't want to go
to that gymnasium, either.
**[04:25] Takeda**
D-Do you have bad memories or something?
**[04:27] Kei**
The very opposite.
**[04:29] ---**
The place is filled with
fond memories of my youth.
**[04:31] Takeda**
Then, why?
**[04:34] Kei**
That gym and club room may still be the same,
**[04:39] Kei**
but I can never go back.
**[04:42] Kei**
It was a limited time with
its own distinctive feel.
**[04:46] ---**
The atmosphere belongs
to that place and time alone.
**[04:50] Takeda**
So it's nostalgia.
**[04:52] ---**
How nice.
**[04:53] Kei**
Shut up.
**[04:55] Kei**
That's why I don't want to go back.
**[04:59] Takeda**
Even if Nekoma High School were coming?
**[05:02] Takeda**
We're having a practice match
**[05:04] ---**
at the end of Golden Week.
The first match in five years.
**[05:06] Kei**
B-But wh-why now?
**[05:09] Takeda**
Their coach, Nekomata,
who was close friends with Coach Ukai,
**[05:13] Takeda**
just came out of retirement.
**[05:16] Takeda**
When I heard that,
I requested a practice match.
**[05:20] Takeda**
When you were there, Ukai-kun,
**[05:21] ---**
wasn't that when the
Nekoma rivalry was at its peak?
**[05:25] Kei**
Yeah.
**[05:26] Takeda**
And I hear their coach now was
Nekoma's setter seven or eight years ago.
**[05:35] (Flashback) Nao**
This year is our last chance, Ukai.
**[05:38] (Flashback) Nao**
Promise to definitely,
*definitely* see us at the nationals.
**[05:41] (Flashback) Kei**
Yeah.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Kei**
I promise.
**[05:45] Takeda**
That was when you were playing, too.
**[05:48] ---**
Maybe you know him?
**[05:52] Kei**
Hey...
**[05:54] Kei**
You trying to agitate me?
**[05:56] Takeda**
I'm sorry! I'm sorry!
**[05:57] Kei**
Are you kidding?
**[05:58] ---**
You think I'll fall for such an obvious ploy?
**[06:01] Kei**
What time does practice start?
**[06:03] Takeda**
I'm sor— Huh?
**[06:06] Takeda**
Um...
**[06:07] Kei**
Nekoma's coming.
**[06:09] ---**
I can't let them see my successors
in a pitiful state.
**[06:11] Kei**
I'm gearing up. Go there and wait.
**[06:13] Takeda**
Y-Yes.
**[06:14] Kei**
Mom! Mind the store for me.
**[06:18] Takeda**
All right.
**[06:20] Kei**
Hello, Tatsu-san?
***SIGN*** Maturing to Greatness
**[06:31] Tanaka**
Say, Noya-san.
**[06:33] Nishi**
Huh?
**[06:34] Tanaka**
What kind of training did you
do while you were suspended?
**[06:38] Nishi**
Hm, mainly block-follow.
**[06:41] Nishi**
Training for saving balls
after they're blocked.
**[06:44] Nishi**
I still can't do it well,
but if I get good at block-follow,
**[06:48] Nishi**
you guys can spike with greater confidence.
**[06:53] Tanaka**
*This guy...*
**[06:54] Tanaka**
*He has a new bruise every time I see him.*
**[06:58] Tanaka**
Noya-san, are you for real?
You're such an awesome guy.
**[07:01] Nishi**
What're you crying about?
**[07:04] Takeda**
Good job, everyone.
**[07:05] Sawa**
Huddle up.
**[07:08] Takeda**
Let me introduce you.
**[07:09] ---**
This is Ukai-kun, who will
be our coach starting today.
**[07:18] Sawa**
C-Coach?
**[07:20] ---**
Is this true?
**[07:21] Kei**
Only 'til the match against Nekoma.
**[07:23] Sawa**
Oh...
**[07:25] Tanaka**
But this is the guy from Sakanoshita Shop.
**[07:28] ---**
He's really a coach?
**[07:29] Takeda**
He's a senpai to all of you.
**[07:31] ---**
He's the grandson of Coach Ukai.
**[07:33] All**
What?
**[07:34] Hinata**
But that's not the name on your store.
**[07:39] Kei**
The store's named after
my mother's side of the family.
**[07:42] Kei**
We got no time to waste.
Let's get started.
**[07:44] Kei**
I want to see what you guys are made of.
**[07:46] ---**
The game will start at 6:30 PM.
**[07:48] Kei**
The opponents have already been invited.
**[07:49] Sawa**
Huh? Opponents?
**[07:51] Kei**
The Karasuno Neighborhood Association Team.
**[08:01] (Flashback) Sawa**
If you still like volleyball,
**[08:03] (Flashback) Sawa**
that's reason enough to come back.
**[08:12] Kage**
Here goes.
**[08:13] Kage**
Okay!
**[08:15] Hinata**
Here goes.
**[08:17] Kei**
Damn, they're not coming.
**[08:19] Kei**
I guess it's impossible
to get everyone on a weekday.
**[08:30] Shimada**
Here.
**[08:32] Yama**
Thank you very much.
**[08:34] Takinoue**
Hey.
**[08:35] Shima**
Hey.
**[08:36] Uchizawa**
Wow.
**[08:37] Mori**
Brings back memories.
**[08:39] Yama**
Um...
**[08:42] Shima**
Team Neighborhood Association...
**[08:45] Tna**
...is here!
**[08:47] Kei**
Hey, guys, thanks for coming on short notice.
**[08:50] Tsuki**
I was expecting geezers from
a neighborhood association.
**[08:54] Yama**
Me, too.
**[08:57] Kei**
All right!
**[08:58] ---**
Let's get started.
**[09:00] Team**
Yeah.
**[09:00] Hinata**
It's a match!
**[09:03] Kei**
Hey, you. What's the matter?
**[09:06] Sawa**
Oh, I'm sorry. He's sort of...
**[09:09] Kei**
What? He has a problem? Is he injured?
**[09:11] Sawa**
No, it's not that kind of thing...
**[09:14] Kei**
What, you're not injured?
**[09:16] ---**
Whatever the case,
I need you on the neighborhood team.
**[09:19] Kei**
Their libero has to work,
so he couldn't make it.
**[09:22] Sawa**
Well, then...
**[09:27] Kei**
We just need two more.
**[09:29] ---**
What should we do?
You guys still have more guys, right?
**[09:31] Hinata**
Hey, it's Asahi-san!
**[09:34] Hinata**
Asahi-san!
**[09:36] Asahi**
This guy again...
**[09:38] Asahi**
I... I... um...
**[09:39] Tanaka**
Asahi-san?
**[09:40] Kei**
What? You're late?
Who do you think you are?
**[09:42] Kei**
What's your position?
**[09:44] Asahi**
Wing spiker...
**[09:45] Kei**
We're short on players.
Hurry and warm up!
**[09:49] Kei**
Chop, chop!
**[10:15] Kei**
Now we just need a setter.
**[10:17] ---**
I wish I could do it,
but I have to watch the game.
**[10:21] Kei**
I need to borrow a setter from you guys.
**[10:28] Kage**
Sugawara-san.
**[10:31] Kage**
You're not doing this for me, are you?
**[10:33] Kage**
If you're stepping down
so I can step up, I'll refuse.
**[10:40] Suga**
Ever since you joined
the team as official setter,
**[10:46] Suga**
I've sort of been relieved.
**[10:49] Suga**
The setter is the pillar
of our team's offense.
**[10:52] Suga**
He must be the toughest of everyone.
**[10:55] Suga**
But I never felt confident
about throwing tosses.
**[11:00] Suga**
I've been scared
**[11:02] ---**
the spikers would repeatedly
be blocked because of my tosses.
**[11:06] Suga**
So I hid behind Kageyama's
overwhelming abilities,
**[11:10] Suga**
and enjoyed the relief.
**[11:15] Suga**
When I think of spikes getting blocked...
**[11:18] Suga**
It still scares me.
**[11:20] Suga**
But...
**[11:22] ---**
Let me toss to you again, Asahi.
**[11:28] Suga**
That's why I'll be on their team.
**[11:30] Suga**
Kageyama.
**[11:33] ---**
I won't let you outplay me.
**[11:35] Kage**
I won't, either.
**[11:37] Suga**
Nishinoya, I'm counting
on your nice receives.
**[11:40] Nishi**
That goes without saying.
**[11:44] Sawa**
All right. Let's get ready.
**[11:45] Hinata**
Asahi-san's here. Right?
**[11:47] Kage**
Yeah. For now, anyway.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Neighborhood Assoc.
**[11:50] All**
Let's play.
**[11:54] Sawa**
They definitely have an
intimidating presence.
**[11:56] Takinoue**
Let's do this, high schoolers.
**[12:02] Hinata**
*It's a battle against the ace...*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Neighborhood Assoc.
**[12:21] Shimada**
Nice receive.
**[12:26] Taki**
Hey, good one. Nice toss.
**[12:29] Suga**
Thank you very much.
**[12:31] Hinata**
Sugawara-san's quick attack!
**[12:33] Sawa**
Of course. Suga is an
experienced setter, after all.
**[12:37] Tan/Enno**
*He looks happy...*
**[12:39] Nishi**
Suga-san, nice toss!
**[12:41] Suga**
Yeah.
**[12:42] Suga**
But the neighborhood folks are
skillfully accommodating me.
**[12:47] Suga**
They're veterans, for sure.
**[12:49] Taki**
All right.
**[12:50] Suga**
My tosses still need a lot of work.
**[12:53] Suga**
But, I have to use lots of fast attacks,
**[12:56] ---**
and confidently keep building offense.
**[12:59] Suga**
Otherwise, the whole match will be
on the ace's shoulders again.
**[13:05] Nishi**
Suga-san, you've become awesome.
**[13:07] Suga**
Huh? Really?
**[13:09] ---**
That's high praise coming
from you, Nishinoya.
**[13:12] Nishi**
Why's that?
**[13:13] Suga**
Oh, well...
**[13:16] Asahi**
* Suga, you've grown dependable*
* in the short time I've been away.*
**[13:20] Asahi**
*And Nishinoya is dependable, as usual.*
**[13:21] Nishi**
No, seriously, you've become awesome.
**[13:24] Asahi**
*I, on the other hand,*
**[13:26] ---**
* came moseying back, and am standing*
* on the court without a purpose.*
**[13:30] Asahi**
*I feel pathetic.*
**[13:32] Asahi**
*But...*
**[13:36] Mori**
Nice serve.
**[13:37] Uchi**
One more.
**[13:40] Asahi**
*But...*
**[13:42] Asahi**
*I really do like being here.*
**[13:49] Taki**
What was that?
**[13:50] Hinata**
All right!
**[13:50] Kage**
Yes.
**[13:52] Uchi**
That was an amazing jump.
**[13:54] Shima**
That toss was perfection itself.
**[14:00] Sawa**
Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Hinata**
But now I have this guy tossing to me,
**[14:04] (Flashback) ---**
so I can get past any blocker.
**[14:06] (Flashback) Hinata**
All the blockers vanish from sight...
**[14:09] (Flashback) Hinata**
and the view of the other side
of the net opens up.
**[14:14] Asahi**
*The other side of the net...*
**[14:24] (Flashback) Sawa**
Don't mind.
**[14:25] (Flashback) Suga**
One more.

He missed, but still, that libero is amazing.

I'm sorry. I'll get the next one.
**[14:45] (Flashback) Audience2**
Yeah. His skills are amazingly high-level.
**[14:48] (Flashback) Audience**
But the offense is weak...
**[14:51] Asahi**
*Blocked again...*
**[14:53] ---**
* I've lost count of how many*
* they've blocked.*
**[14:56] Asahi**
* I kept calling for a toss.*
* "Bring it to me."*
**[14:59] Asahi**
*"I will score."*
**[15:01] ---**
*But I've reached the very end.*
**[15:04] Asahi**
*I'm scared to call for a toss.*

Why? Why aren't you blaming me?
**[15:34] (Flashback) Asahi**
We lost because of me.
**[15:36] (Flashback) ---**
No matter how much you followed,
**[15:38] (Flashback) ---**
if I can't spike and score, it's all for nothing!
**[15:39] (Flashback) Sawa**
Asahi.
**[15:44] (Flashback) Nishi**
What do you mean "it's all for nothing"?
**[15:47] (Flashback) Nishi**
Then why didn't you call
for a toss at the end?
**[15:51] (Flashback) Nishi**
You were in a position to spike.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Suga**
Stop it, Nishinoya.
**[15:56] (Flashback) ---**
I was only bringing the ball to Asahi.
He must've been tired.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Asaki**
Toss to me all you want.
**[16:00] (Flashback) ---**
I'll never score.
**[16:03] (Flashback) Nishi**
You don't know that 'til you spike.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Nishi**
Maybe the next one will score!
**[16:11] (Flashback) Nishi**
I kept the ball in the air.
**[16:13] (Flashback) ---**
It's not your place to give up.
**[16:16] (Flashback) Tanaka**
Noya!
**[16:18] (Flashback) Nishi**
I'm a libero. I'm the
cornerstone of the defense,
**[16:21] (Flashback) ---**
and the cornerstone of the team!
**[16:23] (Flashback) Nishi**
But...
**[16:25] (Flashback) ---**
I'm not the one who can score points.
**[16:29] (Flashback) Nishi**
I can't attack.
**[16:31] (Flashback) ---**
I don't care if your spikes don't score.
**[16:34] (Flashback) Nishi**
I would never blame you in the least.
**[16:38] (Flashback) Nishi**
But I won't stand for you
giving up so selfishly.
**[16:47] (Flashback) Tanaka**
A-Asahi-san.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Suga**
Asahi.
**[16:49] (Flashback) Suga**
Wait, Asahi.
**[17:00] (Flashback) Nishi**
Why didn't you show up at club yesterday?
**[17:04] (Flashback) Nishi**
Soon after New Year,
it'll be the Inter-High.
**[17:09] (Flashback) Asahi**
It's no fun hitting spikes that don't score.
**[17:12] Asahi**
*What am I saying?*
**[17:13] ---**
*I don't think that at all.*
**[17:16] (Flashback) Asahi**
You, too. You save the ball,
but if no one scores,
**[17:19] (Flashback) ---**
it's all in vain.
**[17:20] Asahi**
*Stop it.*
**[17:22] ---**
*Nishinoya isn't a guy that thinks like that.*
**[17:25] (Flashback) Asahi**
Suga felt responsible every
time my ball got blocked—
**[17:27] (Flashback) Nishi**
Who cares about what others think?!
**[17:31] (Flashback) Dean**
Hey, who's shouting?
**[17:34] (Flashback) Dean**
Don't make noise in the hall.
**[17:37] (Flashback) Nishi**
Asahi-san.
**[17:38] (Flashback) Dean**
Hey.
**[17:38] (Flashback) Nishi**
Shut up!
**[17:42] (Flashback) Dean**
How dare you!
**[17:42] (Flashback) Student**
He did that in front of the vice principal.
**[17:52] (Flashback) Nishi**
Don't you want to spike and score again?
**[17:57] Tanaka**
Nice, Hinata.
**[17:59] Hinata**
Thanks!
**[18:00] Kage**
Hinata, you serve next.
**[18:03] Asahi**
That's what I want.
**[18:06] Asahi**
No matter how many times I fail,
**[18:09] ---**
I still want to spike.
**[18:15] Nishi**
Then, I'm fine.
**[18:17] Nishi**
Now that you said that, I'm fine.
**[18:28] Nishi**
* My job is to keep the ball in play.*
* That's all.*
**[18:32] Enno**
Hinata, nice serve!
**[18:35] Taki**
Net in!
**[18:36] Shima**
Whoops.
**[18:37] Shima**
Sorry! Cover for me.
**[18:39] Uchi**
Long-hair guy, you do last.
**[18:43] Nishi**
*The sky is the domain of spikers.*
**[18:46] ---**
*I can't do battle up there...*
**[18:50] Kage**
Let's block 'em.
**[18:51] Tsuki**
Don't give orders.
**[18:53] Tanaka**
Asahi-san, I'm blocking you for real.
**[18:56] Nishi**
* If I keep the ball in play...*
* as long it stays connected...*
**[18:59] (Flashback) Asahi**
I want to spike again.
**[19:02] Nishi**
*I know the ace will score for us.*
**[19:20] Shima**
He saved it.
**[19:21] Uchi**
Nice follow.
**[19:24] (Flashback) Nishi**
Mainly block-follow.
**[19:26] (Flashback) Nishi**
Training in saving balls that get blocked.
**[19:28] Tanaka**
Noya-san...
**[19:33] Nishi**
Even if the ball bounces off the wall...
**[19:35] ---**
I'll keep it in play.
**[19:38] Nishi**
So call for a toss again,
**[19:42] ---**
ace!
**[19:45] Shima**
Cover.
**[19:46] Suga**
All right.
**[19:47] Suga**
* What should I do?*
* Who do I toss it to?*
**[19:49] Suga**
* The left is open.*
* That might be the best, but...*
**[19:54] Suga**
* If I toss to Asahi and*
* he gets blocked again...*
**[19:57] Kage**
Sugawara-san.
**[19:59] Kage**
Give it to him
**[20:00] ---**
'til he scores.
**[20:02] Tsuki**
You're a total sadist, King.
**[20:04] Kage**
What?
**[20:06] Suga**
* When the going gets rough,*
* when the receive is tenuous,*
**[20:09] Suga**
*the last ball is entrusted to the ace.*
**[20:12] Suga**
*I know. I know it,*
**[20:16] ---**
*but Asahi isn't waiting for a toss,*
**[20:19] Suga**
* and I'm putting him on the*
* spot against three blockers.*
**[20:24] Asahi**
*The spike...*
**[20:26] Asahi**
*I can spike because the toss goes up.*
**[20:30] (Flashback) Suga**
Let me toss to you again, Asahi.
**[20:36] Asahi**
* The toss goes up because*
* of the connecting receive.*
**[20:41] (Flashback) Nishi**
I kept the ball in the air.
**[20:43] (Flashback) ---**
It's not your place to give up.
**[20:47] Asahi**
*I'm not the only one who spikes.*
**[20:53] Asahi**
*Everybody plays his own respective part.*
**[20:57] Asahi**
*And yet, I...*
**[20:58] (Flashback) Kage**
You don't win alone.
That's just how it is.
**[21:01] (Flashback) Hinata**
That's why everyone calls
you an ace, Asahi-san.
**[21:05] (Flashback) Sawa**
If you still like volleyball...
**[21:07] (Flashback) Kage**
Call for a toss again,
**[21:10] (Flashback) ---**
ace!
**[21:14] Shima**
All right.
**[21:15] Suga**
Shimada-san—
**[21:16] Asahi**
Suga!
**[21:22] Asahi**
One more!
**[21:28] Suga**
*Ah,*
**[21:29] ---**
*the ace awaits.*
**[21:32] Suga**
*He's calling for a toss.*
**[21:37] Suga**
*A high toss, slightly away from the net.*
**[21:40] Suga**
* The toss, Asahi's specialty,*
* which I've tossed to him many times.*
**[21:46] Suga**
* Even if it's just a plain toss,*
* give it all you got... carefully...*
**[21:50] Tsuki**
You're rooting for the
other team, aren't you?
**[21:53] Tsuki**
Well, sorry to say it,
but I'm blocking them.
**[21:54] Kage**
Of course. What's the point of holding back?
**[22:02] Asahi**
*The dependable guardian behind me...*
**[22:05] Asahi**
*The easy-to-spike tosses he sends me...*
**[22:08] Asahi**
*I lack nothing.*
**[22:10] Asahi**
* I had forgotten such simple,*
* obvious things...*
**[22:15] Asahi**
*I'm...*
**[22:17] ---**
*...not fighting this battle alone.*
**[22:21] Asahi**
*To strike past all obstacles...*
**[22:39] Asahi**
*That's the ace.*

Ryu!
**[00:04] Kage**
*So much force!*
**[00:11] Shimada**
He saved it.
**[00:12] Uchi**
Nice follow!
**[00:14] Nishi**
Call for the toss again,
**[00:17] Nishi**
ace.
**[00:19] Suga**
Shimada-san—

Suga!
**[00:25] Asahi**
One more!
**[00:27] Suga**
Asahi.
**[00:46] Takeda**
Wow...
**[00:48] Takeda**
What a sound! Like, kaboom.
**[00:51] Suga**
Nice. Nice, Asahi.
**[00:53] Suga**
You, too, Nishinoya.
**[00:55] Asahi**
You guys, too. Nice toss, Suga.
Nice receive, Nishinoya.
**[01:05] Hinata**
So that...
**[01:06] Hinata**
That's an ace.
**[01:09] Kage**
Hey.
**[01:11] Kage**
You wanted to see the ace so much.
**[01:13] Kage**
You'd better not be intimidated now.
**[01:15] Hinata**
I-I'm not intimidated.
**[01:17] Hinata**
I don't have his height or power,
**[01:20] ---**
but I can still fight.
**[01:22] Hinata**
It's my turn now.

**[03:22] Nishi**
That's because you've been
ditching for a month.
**[03:24] Asahi**
Yeah... I'm sorry.
**[03:26] Suga**
You're strict, Nishinoya.
**[03:29] Tanaka**
Daichi-san.
**[03:32] Sawa**
Asahi's back and on the neighborhood
team with the veterans.
**[03:37] ---**
We'd better step up our game.
**[03:41] Tanaka**
What are you saying, Daichi-san?
**[03:43] ---**
We have me on our team.
**[03:44] Hinata**
We have me on our team.
**[03:45] Sawa**
Huh? What?
**[03:46] Tanaka**
Don't talk over me, Hinata!
**[03:49] ---**
I was saying something awesome
and you wrecked it, jackass!
**[03:53] Takeda**
He's amazing.
So was Nishinoya-kun's receive.
**[03:56] Takeda**
If he can save a ball that's been blocked,
we can be invincible!
**[04:00] Kei**
What are you talking about?
It's impossible to save those every time.
**[04:04] Takeda**
Huh?
**[04:05] Kei**
We're talking about balls
going at least 100kph,
**[04:08] Kei**
traveling a distance
of only two or three meters.
**[04:11] Kei**
There's no way you can save them all.
**[04:14] Takeda**
Oh...
**[04:15] Kei**
However...
**[04:16] Kei**
It's important to know that
getting blocked isn't the end.
**[04:21] Nishi**
I'll save them, one after another,
so don't worry about getting blocked.
**[04:22] Kei**
Knowing your teammates
are there to back you up,
**[04:25] Suga**
Come on, he's an ace.
Every one of his spikes will score.
**[04:25] Kei**
can set your mind at ease.
**[04:28] Asahi**
What?
**[04:28] Takashi**
I see.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Neighborhood Assoc.
**[04:29] Mori**
Nice serve.
**[04:31] Sawa**
Ennoshita.
**[04:33] Sawa**
Cover.
**[04:34] Kei**
*Overall, their receiving needs a lot of work.*
**[04:35] Enno**
Sorry. Kageyama, cover for me.
**[04:37] Kage**
Right.
**[04:38] Kei**
* He discerns the dropping point quickly*
* and without hesitation.*
**[04:42] Kei**
*That setter is a first-year,*
**[04:45] Kei**
*so who am I going to pick for—*
**[04:52] Tanaka**
Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
**[04:54] Hinata**
Thanks.
**[04:57] Hinata**
*But now I have this guy tossing to me,*
**[04:59] ---**
*so I can get past any blocker.*
**[05:01] Asahi**
I guess he wasn't exaggerating.
**[05:04] Nishi**
That was amazing, Shoyo!
**[05:07] ---**
What was that?
Did I really just see that?
**[05:12] Kei**
* He didn't even signal.*
* He didn't vocalize anything, so how...*
**[05:18] Kei**
Hey!
**[05:20] Kei**
Why did you jump there, Shrimpy?
**[05:22] Hinata**
Shr—
**[05:24] ---**
B-Because the toss will come
to wherever I jump.
**[05:29] Kei**
* Clearly, Shrimpy jumped without*
* watching for the toss.*
**[05:34] Kei**
* Did that first-year setter perfectly*
* coordinate with Shrimpy's motion?*
**[05:40] Kei**
* And how could he be so certain*
* the toss would be there?*
**[05:43] Kei**
* Who makes a full swing on that alone,*
* without looking for the toss at all?*
**[05:48] Kei**
What's the matter with you guys?
Are you freaks?
**[05:50] Hin/Kag**
What?
**[05:51] Hin/Kag**
Freaks?
**[05:53] Hinata**
But why?
**[05:54] Kage**
How would I know?
**[05:56] Kage**
Tsukishima, what's so funny?
**[05:57] Kei**
I was preoccupied arranging the match,
so I didn't understand what he meant..
**[06:02] (Flashback) Suga**
So I hid behind Kageyama's
overwhelming abilities,
**[06:06] (Flashback) Suga**
and enjoyed the relief.
**[06:08] Kei**
I guess that first-year setter
is what you'd call a genius.
**[06:10] Kage**
Hinata, let's score again.
**[06:12] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[06:12] Kei**
He can't be compared to a normal person.
**[06:14] Kage**
Nice serve.
**[06:16] Kei**
But...
**[06:19] Shima**
Wow, a parallel toss.
**[06:21] Tanaka**
Damn! Even in his first game in a month,
his timing's perfect!
**[06:24] Sawa**
Tanaka, you're way too happy.
**[06:27] Kei**
The timing of that toss and spike...
**[06:30] Kei**
That's only possible after
lots of training and time.
**[06:34] Suga**
Yes.
**[06:35] Kei**
But you can't build up the
necessary trust overnight.
**[06:40] Kei**
If that first-year setter has amazing talent,
**[06:44] Kei**
then the other guy is both
trustworthy and dependable.
**[06:52] Sawa**
All right!
**[06:54] Kei**
Karasuno is pretty good right now.
**[06:57] Kei**
Why didn't you tell me sooner, Sensei?
**[07:00] Takeda**
I did tell you, repeatedly.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Neighborhood Assoc.
**[07:06] All**
All right.
**[07:08] Kei**
But I'm surprised that
Shrimpy is the middle blocker.
**[07:12] Kei**
His quick attack is amazing,
sure, but how's he at blocking?
**[07:18] Asahi**
*Huh?*
**[07:19] ---**
*He's staring at me...*
**[07:21] Takeda**
Speaking of, Hinata-kun's
now battling the ace,
**[07:24] ---**
and that's what he wants to become.
**[07:26] Kei**
Huh?
**[07:27] Takeda**
Hinata-kun idolizes an ace
called the Little Giant.
**[07:32] ---**
That's why he came to Karasuno.
**[07:34] Kei**
Oh, that guy?
**[07:37] Takeda**
That's why he says he'll become the ace,
**[07:39] ---**
and always gives it his all.
**[07:41] Takeda**
And here Hinata-kun is now,
**[07:43] ---**
squaring off with Karasuno's current ace.
**[07:46] Kei**
Well, this should be interesting.
**[07:49] ---**
Though it's kind of like
watching a kid fight an adult.
**[07:54] Asahi**
*Parallel toss.*
**[07:56] Hinata**
*I'm marking the ace right now.*
**[08:00] Hinata**
*I'm facing off with Karasuno's ace.*
**[08:02] Enno**
Nice serve.
**[08:05] Takinoue**
Nice receive.
**[08:09] Asahi**
*Suddenly, he's in front of me...*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Neighborhood Assoc.
**[08:18] Asahi**
I saw how he jumped before,
**[08:21] ---**
but it's truly amazing seeing him up close.
**[08:21] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[08:22] Sawa**
Don't worry about it.
That was a tough break. Next, next!
**[08:24] Asahi**
How high can he jump?
**[08:25] Hinata**
Right.
**[08:28] Hinata**
Awesome.
**[08:30] Suga**
Good going, Asahi.
**[08:30] Hinata**
*And he hasn't played in a month.*
**[08:32] Kage**
Hey, you!
Your form was all wrong for blocking.
**[08:35] Kage**
If you want to stop the ball,
hold your arms like this! This!
**[08:39] Kage**
Are you listening?
**[08:40] Kage**
Like this.
**[08:41] Kage**
Hey.
**[08:41] Suga**
We're counting on you for the next one, too.
**[08:47] Hinata**
* He was bathed in sweat.*
* He looked like he was in anguish,*
**[08:50] Hinata**
*but the Little Giant kept on jumping.*
**[08:54] Hinata**
*I couldn't understand it back then,*
**[08:57] Hinata**
* but that must've been because*
* of the faith his teammates had in him.*
**[08:59] Nishi**
We're counting on you, Asahi-san.
**[09:02] Hinata**
* Because everyone on his*
* team believed in him,*
**[09:04] ---**
*because they could count on him,*
**[09:06] Hinata**
* everyone would connect the*
* ball to the little ace.*
**[09:10] Hinata**
*I'm sure the same goes for Asahi-san.*
**[09:15] Kage**
Hey.
**[09:15] Hinata**
The ace is awesome, huh?
**[09:17] Hinata**
He smashes past it all. Blocker or no
blocker, it makes no difference to him.
**[09:23] Hinata**
What's the matter?
**[09:25] Kage**
Nothing.
***SIGN*** Neighborhood Assoc. Karasuno
**[09:29] Tanaka**

**[09:30] Suga**
In front, in front.
**[09:31] Asahi**
Left!
**[09:32] Hinata**
*If only I had his height and power.*
**[09:33] Sawa**
It's coming from the left, cover the side.
**[09:36] Sawa**
Hinata, go back a little more.
**[09:36] Hinata**
* No, no, the Little Giant was*
* short, but he was awesome, too.*
**[09:40] Hinata**
*But...*
**[09:45] Hinata**
*It must be nice...*
**[09:46] Sawa**
Hinata!
**[10:00] Asahi**
Hinata.
**[10:03] Nishi**
Oh, he's alive.
**[10:04] Tanaka**
Are you all right?
**[10:05] Asahi**
Are you all right?
**[10:06] Tsukishima**
It's his fault, no matter how you
look at it, for being an airhead.
**[10:09] Takeda**
A-A-A-Ambulance...
**[10:11] Kei**
Relax, Sensei.
**[10:13] Hinata**
I'm fine, sorry about that.
**[10:15] Sawa**
You sure? Just in case, take a break.
**[10:17] Hinata**
R-Really, I'm fine.
I just couldn't dodge it. It's no big deal.
**[10:22] Hinata**
Besides, I'm used to getting hit in face.
**[10:24] Suga**
Don't get used to it...
**[10:37] Kage**
Why were you distracted
in the middle of the match?
**[10:45] Hinata**
*Crap... Kageyama isn't yelling at me.*
**[10:48] Hinata**
*That means he's really angry.*
**[10:50] Hinata**
* It's like when I slammed*
* a serve into the back of his head.*
**[10:53] Kage**
I know why.
**[10:56] Kage**
The ace is cool.
**[10:58] ---**
But your number one use is as a decoy,
**[11:00] ---**
which is humble and uncool.
**[11:02] Kage**
You're thinking you could be an ace, too,
**[11:03] ---**
if only you had height
and power like Asahi-san.
**[11:08] Hinata**
I-I wasn't thinking that!
**[11:10] Hinata**
Or... maybe, sort of...
**[11:15] Kage**
Once you found out there's an ace,
not only did you feel
**[11:17] ---**
curiosity and admiration,
**[11:18] Kage**
but you were envious of him, weren't you?
**[11:23] Kage**
Don't think unnecessary things
in the middle of a match.
**[11:28] Hinata**
So I envy him.
**[11:30] ---**
What's wrong with that?
**[11:32] Hinata**
You're tall! You'd never understand!
**[11:38] Sawa**
Hey.
**[11:39] Janitor**
Hey, volleyball club!
**[11:41] Janitor**
It's closing time.
Put everything away.
**[11:45] Takeda**
I'm sorry, but please wait
until the match is finished.
**[11:47] Janitor**
But it's late.
**[11:49] Takeda**
I'll take responsibility for closing up.
**[11:53] Hinata**
*It was my fault for interrupting the game,*
**[11:56] Hinata**
*and yet I got mad at Kageyama.*
**[11:59] Janitar**
All right then.
**[12:00] Takeda**
Sorry to have inconvenienced you.
**[12:03] Sawa**
Sensei, I appreciate it.
**[12:04] Sawa**
Thank you very much.
**[12:06] Tanaka**
Take-chan, you're awesome.
**[12:08] Sawa**
All right, let's continue.
**[12:11] All**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Neighborhood Assoc. Karasuno
**[12:12] Suga**

**[12:13] Uchi**
Nice serve.
**[12:14] Tanaka**
All right, bring it.
**[12:18] Taki**
Maybe this is the high school team's
strongest offensive rotation.
**[12:23] Taki**
We'd better watch out for
that shrimp's fast attack.
**[12:25] Asahi**
Yes.
**[12:26] Kage**
Um...
**[12:29] Kage**
I'm tossing to this guy next.
**[12:33] Kage**
Please block him with everything you've got.
**[12:50] Kage**
I'm tossing to this guy next.
**[12:53] ---**
Please block him with everything you've got.
**[12:56] Asa/Tak**
What?
**[12:57] Taki**
Are you calling us out?
**[12:58] Kage**
Yes, I'm calling you out.
**[13:00] Kage**
Please forgive my cocky attitude.
**[13:04] Taki**
What an interesting guy.
**[13:06] Taki**
Okay. You can call me out.
**[13:09] Kage**
Thanks.
**[13:16] Kei**
What's he thinking?
**[13:18] ---**
A quick attack's only effective
if they can't see it coming,
**[13:22] Kei**
but he just revealed the plan to them.
**[13:25] ---**
There's no way that Shrimpy
can take them on now.
**[13:27] Takeda**
That's true.
**[13:29] Taki**
We'll block him for sure.
**[13:29] Takeda**
You might be right, if he has
to confront them head-on.
**[13:30] Uchi**
Right? We'd better, after that speech.
**[13:33] Hinata**
*Damn you, Kageyama, what was that for?*
**[13:35] Hinata**
* What's the point of telling*
* them our next move?*
**[13:39] Hinata**
* There's no way I can break through*
* all these tall blockers.*
**[13:43] Kage**
Right now...
**[13:45] Kage**
You can jump well, and you're fast,
but you're lousy overall.
**[13:50] Kage**
You'll never be an ace,
the pillar of the team.
**[13:54] Tanaka**
Hey.
**[13:55] Asahi**
Th-That's going a little...
**[13:55] Kage**
But!
**[13:57] Kage**
As long as I'm here, you're invincible.
**[13:59] Hinata**
Huh?
**[14:01] Kage**
Azumane-san's spike has awesome power.
He can slam past three blockers.
**[14:06] Asahi**
Well, not every time...
**[14:09] Nishi**
Don't get so rattled!
**[14:10] Kage**
So how about you, then?
**[14:12] Kage**
Whenever I toss to you,
**[14:14] Hinata**
do you ever get blocked?
**[14:19] Taki**
Nice serve.
**[14:21] Enno**
All right.
**[14:22] Sawa**
Nice receive.
**[14:24] Hinata**
*The blockers are huge...*
**[14:25] Kage**
Dodge them!
**[14:27] Kage**
What else can you do, airhead?
**[14:32] Hinata**
*If I can't break past them...*
**[14:34] Hinata**
*then dodge!*
**[14:40] Hinata**
*I don't want to be blocked.*
**[14:42] ---**
*I don't want to be stopped.*
**[14:46] Hinata**
* If there are blockers in front*
* of me, there's no way I can win.*
**[14:50] Hinata**
*I don't have fighting power like the ace.*
**[14:55] Hinata**
*But...*
**[14:58] (Flashback) Kage**
As long as I'm here,
**[15:03] (Flashback) Kage**
you're invincible.
**[15:14] Kage**
You're no ace.
**[15:16] Kage**
But with your speed and spring,
**[15:17] Kage**
and with my toss,
you can face any blocker.
**[15:21] Kage**
The point scored by the ace's slam,
**[15:23] Kage**
and the point you scored by dodging,
**[15:26] Kage**
are both scored points.
**[15:28] Kage**
So you don't wear a crown
with "ace" written on it.
**[15:30] Kage**
All you have to do is score lots of points.
**[15:33] Kage**
That's why our opponents will mark you.
**[15:36] Kage**
Plus, by acting as a decoy,
you'll free up other spikers.
**[15:40] Kage**
Including the ace.
**[15:42] Kage**
Right?
**[15:43] Tanaka**
Huh? Yeah.
**[15:44] Tanaka**
Yeah, that's right.
**[15:46] ---**
You being a decoy makes a huge
difference to our success rate.
**[15:51] Kage**
Do you still think your position is uncool?
**[16:08] Hinata**
I don't.
**[16:09] Kage**
Huh?
**[16:12] Hinata**
I don't!
**[16:14] Kage**
Good.
**[16:21] Asahi**
That last slam was amazing.
**[16:25] Kage**
I apologize for interrupting practice.
**[16:28] Hinata**
I apologize.
**[16:30] Kage**
Please allow us...
**[16:32] Hin/Kag**
...to continue the match!
**[16:33] Tanaka**
All right, let's catch up!
**[16:35] Hin/Kag**
Yeah.
**[16:38] Kei**
Sensei.
**[16:40] Kage**
The last one was successful, but
don't repeat the same movement.
**[16:40] Kei**
Those two...
**[16:42] Takeda**
You mean Hinata-kun and Kageyama-kun?
**[16:45] Kei**
Are they from the same junior high?
**[16:47] Kei**
Or are they childhood friends
from elementary school?
**[16:50] Takeda**
Oh, no. They just got acquainted recently.
**[16:54] Takeda**
They didn't get along at first.
I heard they were a handful.
**[16:58] Takeda**
Ukai-kun?
**[17:00] Kei**
How cruel.
**[17:03] Karasuno Team**
All right.
***SIGN*** Neighborhood Assoc. Karasuno
**[17:06] Shima**
These high schoolers are pretty good.
**[17:08] Shima**
They make us old guys play for real.
**[17:13] Sawa**
*Jump floater?*
**[17:16] Tanaka**
Hinata.
**[17:16] Hinata**
Got it.
**[17:17] Hinata**
All right.
**[17:22] Shima**
Take that.
**[17:24] Taka**
How immature.
**[17:26] Takeda**
What was that?
**[17:27] ---**
That didn't look like a
particularly forceful serve.
**[17:31] Kei**
It's a jump floater serve.
**[17:33] Kei**
By hitting the ball so it doesn't
spin, it wobbles in its path.
**[17:37] Kei**
It'll suddenly turn, or drop.
**[17:38] Takeda**
I-It's like a secret weapon.
That's awesome.
**[17:43] Kiyoko**
Yamaguchi, the score.
**[17:46] Yama**
Oh, s-sorry.
**[17:49] Mori**
One more!
***SIGN*** Neighborhood Assoc. Karasuno
**[17:58] Shimada**
All right.
**[18:00] Kei**
That's four points in a row.
**[18:01] Kei**
The first-year duo's attack is amazing,
but receiving is a problem.
**[18:06] Kei**
Especially the first and second-years.
**[18:09] Shima**
I'm going for it all!
**[18:13] Kage**
Nice receive.
**[18:15] Taki**
You won't get away this time, Shrimp.
**[18:18] Taki**
We have you now!
**[18:21] Asahi**
Crap.
**[18:23] Tanaka**
Hello, long time no see!
**[18:26] ---**
What?!
**[18:27] Suga**
Nice, Nishinoya.
**[18:29] Asahi**
Suga.
**[18:31] Suga**
Asahi.
***SIGN*** Neighborhood Assoc. Karasuno
**[18:45] Tanaka**
Damn. Sorry, Hinata. I was totally free, too.
**[18:50] Hinata**
Oh, no...
**[18:51] Tanaka**
But that was awesome.
**[18:52] Tanaka**
You splendidly led all of us.
You kind of make me jealous.
**[18:58] Tanaka**
I'm counting on you.
**[18:59] Hinata**
R-Right.
**[19:03] Shima**
Well, if nothing else,
we sure got to relive our youth.
**[19:07] Shima**
"Call the toss, ace!"
That kind of stuff.
**[19:10] Shima**
Youth is great, isn't it?
**[19:11] Mori**
"As long as I'm here, you're invincible!"
I wish I could say that.
**[19:15] Mori**
High schoolers are awesome!
**[19:20] Taki**
You guys make us old folk feel left behind.
**[19:22] Suga**
S-Sorry.
**[19:25] Taki**
You guys still have a long way to go,
**[19:28] Taki**
but when you pull it together,
you'll probably go far.
**[19:34] Sawa**
Thank you very much.
**[19:36] All**
Thank you!
**[19:39] Kei**
Anyway...
**[19:41] Kei**
Receiving. We're nothing if we can't receive.
**[19:44] Kei**
Starting tomorrow,
you've got rigorous training ahead.
**[19:46] Team**
Right.
**[19:48] Sawa**
Thanks.
**[19:49] Team**
Thanks.
**[19:51] Kei**
And don't forget to stretch.
**[19:53] Sawa**
Stretches!
**[19:54] Team**
Right.
**[19:56] Sawa**
Take your time.
**[19:59] Takeda**
Was the receiving that bad?
**[20:01] Takeda**
So bad you're sighing?
**[20:03] Kei**
No, I'll come back to that later.
**[20:07] Kei**
Back in the day when I'd wait to be picked
as player, I didn't even realize
**[20:12] Kei**
that it isn't easy being the picker.
***SIGN*** Equipment Room
**[20:18] Sawa**
Let's clean up fast.
**[20:19] Yama**
Right.
**[20:20] Voice**
Yamaguchi, put the balls over there.
**[20:23] Hinata**
Asahi-san.
**[20:27] Hinata**
I'm no ace,
**[20:30] ---**
but I can carve a path for the ace.
**[20:34] Hinata**
I'll be the most formidable decoy.
**[20:41] Hinata**
A-Although I can't do that
without Kageyama's toss.
**[20:45] Hinata**
So...
**[20:46] ---**
So... um...
**[20:48] Hinata**
* "Please do your best."*
* No, that doesn't sound right.*
**[20:51] Hinata**
* "Let's do our best together."*
* That sounds kind of cocky...*
**[20:53] Asahi**
Hinata.
**[20:55] Asahi**
That's your name, right? For the most part,
**[20:59] Asahi**
the wing spiker on the left is called "ace."
**[21:03] Asahi**
Like me and Tanaka...
**[21:05] Hinata**
Yes.
**[21:06] Asahi**
Blasting past a triple-block,
handling the toss in a crucial place,
**[21:11] Asahi**
those things certainly are the ace's job.
**[21:14] (Flashback) Kage**
But with your speed and spring,
**[21:16] (Flashback) Kage**
and with my toss,
you can face any blocker.
**[21:20] Asahi**
For a setter to say things
like that to you...
**[21:23] Asahi**
I think it's an amazingly awesome thing.
**[21:27] Asahi**
Um... so... um... I dunno...
**[21:30] Asahi**
but whatever your position is called,
**[21:33] ---**
I think the coolest player is the one
who is most feared by the opposing team.
**[21:36] Asahi**
Don't you?
**[21:38] Asahi**
"That middle blocker is dangerous,
be careful!" That kind of thing.
**[21:42] Hinata**
Yeah, yeah.
**[21:45] Asahi**
I'll do my best, too.
**[21:50] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[21:53] Asahi**
Of course, that's if they allow
me back in as a regular.
**[21:59] Suga**
Asahi, you're big but so timid.
**[22:03] Sawa**
I think you've revived, too, Suga.
**[22:06] Suga**
I'm sorry for all of my whimpering,
groaning, and sniveling.
**[22:09] Sawa**
I didn't say all that...
**[22:12] Sawa**
We also have dependable Nishinoya back.
**[22:14] Nishi**
Yeah.
**[22:15] Sawa**
But don't knock over the vice
principal ever again, okay?
**[22:19] Sawa**
Which reminds me,
**[22:20] ---**
a goofball wing spiker,
nominally our ace, has come back, too.
**[22:27] Kei**
All right. Let's huddle up
and finish practice.
**[22:36] Sawa**
Karasuno...
**[22:38] Sawa**
Fight.
**[22:39] Team**
Yeah.

**[00:05] Hinata**
All right.
**[00:06] Hinata**
I'm off.
**[00:08] Sister**
Have a nice time.
**[00:19] Hinata**
* Four more days 'til the*

**[00:22] Hinata**
*In our matches from here on out...*
**[00:24] Hinata**
*That spike...*
**[00:26] Hinata**
*That receive...*
**[00:27] Hinata**
*They're going to be on our side!*

It's kind of amazing.
**[00:31] Hinata**
All right. It's training camp time!
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!

***SIGN*** Episode 11: Decision
**[02:20] Keishin**
All here?
**[02:21] All**
Yeah.
**[02:23] Kei**
The practice match against
Nekoma is in four days.
**[02:25] Kei**
Inter-High preliminaries
will be soon thereafter.
**[02:29] Kei**
We've got no time,
**[02:30] Kei**
but you guys are full of holes.
**[02:33] Kei**
Since that's the case,
there's only one way for you to win.
**[02:37] Kei**
Practice.
**[02:38] Kei**
Practice.
**[02:39] Kei**
And practice.
**[02:41] Kei**
Save the ball, even if you have to barf.
**[02:43] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[02:44] All**
*He barfed already.*
**[02:48] Kei**
Front, front.
**[02:52] Kei**
Hey, how many times does
it take for you to get the last one?
**[02:56] Kei**
Concentrate!
**[02:57] Yama**
One more.
**[02:59] Kei**
Here goes.
**[03:01] Sawa**
Nice receive.
**[03:01] Hinata**
Nice, Yamaguchi.
**[03:02] Kiyoko**
That's five successful receives. Next up.
**[03:04] Kei**
Next!
**[03:05] Sawa**
I'm ready.
**[03:06] Sawa**
Good job.
**[03:12] Suga**
All right.
**[03:13] Kei**
Spiking practice next.
**[03:15] All**
Right.
**[03:17] Tanaka**
All right.
**[03:19] All**
Nice kill.
**[03:22] All**
Nice kill.
**[03:32] Kei**
Looking good.
**[03:36] Yama**
May I go next?
**[03:38] Suga**
Sure, sorry.
**[03:44] Sawa**
Okay, let's get going.
**[03:46] All**
Yeah.
**[03:50] Hinata**
Wow! This is where we're staying?
**[03:58] Kage**
You need to calm down.
**[04:00] Hinata**
But this is my first time at training camp.
**[04:03] Tsuki**
I have to hang out all day
with this slovenly bunch.
**[04:07] ---**
What's so fun about that?
**[04:08] Tanaka**
Tsukishima, you bastard...
**[04:09] Nishi**
Kiyoko-san's within a 500 meter radius of us!
**[04:12] ---**
How can that be slovenly?
**[04:14] Tanaka**
How pitiful that you can't understand
how refreshing this space is!
**[04:19] Tanaka**
It's like this wellspring
in the Ou Mountains.
**[04:21] Suga**
Shimizu's home is nearby,
so she's not staying here.
**[04:30] Takeda**
Wh-What are you guys doing?
**[04:32] Tanaka**
Take-chan...
**[04:34] Tanaka**
We can't... go on...
**[04:48] All**
Thank you for the food.
**[04:53] Kiyoko**
Seconds, anyone?
**[04:55] Both**
Yes, please.
**[04:57] Kiyoko**
S-Sure.
**[05:02] Tanaka**
It's first-years' turn to bathe.
**[05:07] Tanaka**
What's up, Hinata?
**[05:10] Hinata**
There...
**[05:12] Hinata**
There's a stranger among us.
**[05:19] Tanaka**
There shouldn't be.
**[05:22] Tanaka**
We're the only ones staying here.
**[05:23] Hinata**
It's...
**[05:25] ---**
...a child.
**[05:29] Tanaka**
It can't be.
**[05:31] Tanaka**
You must've seen your reflection
in the window or something.
**[05:35] Hinata**
Maybe.
**[05:37] Hinata**
I must've made a mistake.
**[05:40] Tanaka**
Of course...
**[05:42] Tanaka**
It was a mistake.
**[05:44] Tanaka**
It was a mistake.
**[05:57] Nishi**
What are you screaming about?
**[05:59] Nishi**
Daichi-san will get mad.
**[06:02] Tanaka**
It was just Noya.
**[06:05] Hinata**
Noya-san? B-But...
**[06:08] Hinata**
Noya-san grew shorter!
**[06:13] Tanaka**
That's true. Your hair adds to your height!
**[06:16] Nishi**
Ryu, you bastard!
**[06:18] Nishi**
It's not funny!
**[06:21] Asahi**
Don't make so much noise...
**[06:23] Asahi**
Daichi will get mad—
**[06:26] Asahi**
It's me, Asahi!
**[06:28] Sawa**
You guys shut up!
**[06:34] Kei**
You're stalling. Don't swing your arms.
**[06:38] Hinata**
Yeah. One more.
**[06:43] Tanaka**
Nice, Hinata.
**[06:44] Kiyoko**
That's five successful receives.
**[06:46] Kei**
All right. That's the whole rotation.
**[06:48] Kei**
Next, running.
**[06:50] All**
Yeah.
**[06:52] Kage**
Hurry up, moron.
**[06:52] Takeda**
They sure have a lot of energy,
**[06:54] Hinata**
Shut up.
**[06:54] Takeda**
even though they have to train
during summer vacation.
**[06:56] Kei**
I saw Kageyama jogging at dawn.
**[07:00] Takeda**
Oh, Hinata-kun was, too.
**[07:02] Takeda**
He said it's because there's no
mountain crossing at the lodge.
**[07:06] Kei**
Mountain crossing?
**[07:08] Kei**
That's why he's got all that stamina.
**[07:12] Takeda**
Are you...
**[07:14] ---**
...worried about picking members
for the match?
**[07:17] Kei**
I'm undecided
**[07:20] ---**
about the setter.
**[07:21] Kei**
In terms of ability, Kageyama is my pick.
**[07:24] Kei**
Sugawara's experienced and has played
with an ace since his first year.
**[07:30] Kei**
However, Kageyama is talented enough
to surpass all that experience in no time.
**[07:37] Kei**
Sugawara has been playing all this time.
**[07:41] Kei**
His teammates depend on him.
**[07:45] Takeda**
Perhaps the reason why you
can't decide, Ukai-kun,
**[07:49] Takeda**
is because Sugawara-kun
is in his third year.
**[07:53] Takeda**
The third year is his last year.
That's why you're thinking...
**[07:59] Takeda**
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm overstepping my bounds.
**[08:02] Kei**
No, I think you're exactly right.
**[08:05] Kei**
When
**[08:07] ---**
I was in my third year of high school,
**[08:10] Kei**
I was a starting member only once,
**[08:12] Kei**
when our younger official setter couldn't play.
**[08:15] Kei**
I remember the anguish I felt,
that I wasn't picked to play.
**[08:20] Kei**
But as long as I'm the temporary coach now,
**[08:24] Kei**
I can't base my decision
on a player's feelings.
**[08:36] Sawa**
Hinata.
**[08:36] ---**
Don't yell unnecessarily.
It'll sap your strength.
**[08:40] Kage**
Hey, where are you going?
**[08:49] Hinata**
Nobody's coming.
**[08:51] Hinata**
Did I get lost?
**[09:01] Hinata**
*A bright red track jacket.*
**[09:03] ---**
*You don't see those around here.*
**[09:05] Hinata**
What are you doing?
**[09:08] Kozume**
Um...
**[09:11] Kozume**
I'm lost.
**[09:13] Hinata**
You're from out of town?
**[09:15] Kozume**
Yeah.
**[09:17] Hinata**
Is that thing fun?
**[09:20] Kozume**
Not really.
**[09:21] Kozume**
I'm just passing time.
**[09:23] Hinata**
Oh...
**[09:28] Hinata**
Are you a volleyball player?
**[09:29] Kozume**
Huh?
**[09:30] Hinata**
Those are volleyball shoes.
**[09:32] Kozume**
Oh. Yeah.
**[09:34] Hinata**
I'm in a volleyball club, too.
I'm Hinata Shoyo.
**[09:39] Kozume**
Kozume...
**[09:41] Hinata**
Kozume? That's your name?
**[09:43] Kozume**
Kozume...
**[09:47] Kozume**
...Kenma.
**[09:48] Hinata**
So you're Kenma. Are you in high school?
**[09:50] Kozume**
Yeah.
**[09:51] Hinata**
What year? I'm a first-year.
**[09:53] Kozume**
I'm a second-year.
**[09:54] Hinata**
Crap. You're older than me.
Pardon me.
**[09:57] Kozume**
Don't worry.
**[09:58] ---**
I don't really like that kind
of status stuff in athletics.
**[10:03] Hinata**
Oh, is that so?
**[10:07] Hinata**
Um... do you like volleyball?
**[10:10] Kozume**
Not particularly. I kind of just do it.
**[10:13] Kozume**
I don't dislike it,
but I don't like getting tired.
**[10:18] Kozume**
But my friends play, and they
probably can't do without me.
**[10:25] Hinata**
I think it'll be more fun
if you get to like it.
**[10:28] Kozume**
I don't care.
**[10:30] ---**
It's only while I'm in high school.
**[10:32] Hinata**
What position do you play?
**[10:35] Kozume**
Setter.
**[10:36] Hinata**
Really? You're a little
different from our setter.
**[10:39] Hinata**
Our setter is a little more... intense.
**[10:44] Hinata**
I'm a middle blocker.
**[10:47] Kozume**
Wow...
**[10:50] Hinata**
Do you think it's kind of weird?
**[10:53] Hinata**
It's a position for tall guys.
**[10:56] Kozume**
I guess... but I don't think that.
**[11:01] Kozume**
I get told stuff a lot when I go to matches.
**[11:04] Kozume**
They say: "The setter position is for
the most talented player, so why him?"
**[11:12] Kozume**
Because I'm not very
athletic to begin with.
**[11:15] Kozume**
Huh... Then, hey. Is your team good?
**[11:21] Kozume**
Well, I heard we were good a long time ago.
**[11:24] Kozume**
But we fell into decline.
**[11:26] Kozume**
Recently, though...
**[11:29] Kozume**
I think we're pretty good.
**[11:38] Hinata**
What's your scho—
**[11:40] Kuro-O**
Kenma.
**[11:42] Kozume**
Oh. Kuro.
**[11:44] Kozume**
Bye.
**[11:47] Kozume**
See you soon, Shoyo.
**[11:49] Kuro-O**
Don't go wandering off by yourself.
**[11:51] Kozume**
Sorry.
**[11:52] Kuro-O**
We're strangers to this place.
You have to be careful.
**[11:55] Hinata**
See you... soon?
**[12:00] Suga**
Hinata.
**[12:02] Suga**
Man, I was looking all over.
**[12:03] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[12:05] Hinata**
I was running around, then got lost.
**[12:08] Suga**
Hinata, you go all out
in every practice, don't you?
**[12:12] Hinata**
Yes.
**[12:13] ---**
But I still need lots more training.
**[12:16] Hinata**
I don't have enough strength yet.
**[12:20] Hinata**
It annoys me that I'm treated
as a set with Kageyama,
**[12:22] ---**
and not as a full-fledged individual.
**[12:25] Hinata**
Regardless, I want to play in the match.
**[12:28] Hinata**
I want to stand on the court.
**[12:35] Suga**
Me, too.
**[12:37] Suga**
I want to stand on the court, too.
**[12:39] Suga**
So I'm going to fight
my own battles, my way.
**[12:43] Suga**
Come on, or you'll be late for lunch.
**[12:46] Hinata**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Miyagi Prefecture Tsukinokizawa High School
**[12:51] Player1**
Hey, don't you think their
setter is kind of small?
**[12:54] Player2**
Yeah, and he looks kind of frail.
**[12:57] Player1**
Maybe he's a backup setter.
**[12:59] Player2**
I've never heard of this school.
***SIGN*** Nekoma
**[13:04] Kuro-O**
That frail shrimp
you guys are talking about
**[13:07] Kuro-O**
is the backbone of Nekoma. He's our brain.
**[13:12] Kuro-O**
And our heart.
**[13:37] Suga**
Ukai-san.
**[13:39] Kei**
What?
**[13:41] Suga**
We third-years are done after this year.
**[13:45] Suga**
That's why our desire to win
is double that of the others.
**[13:48] Suga**
We want the ticket that will
take us to our next stage.
**[13:50] Suga**
If it's Kageyama who deserves
that ticket more than me,
**[13:55] Suga**
you should give it to Kageyama
without a second thought.
**[13:59] Suga**
Daichi, Asahi, and I have been playing
together since our first year.
**[14:03] Suga**
I'd like to stand on
the court with them,
**[14:06] Suga**
and play as much as I am able.
**[14:08] Suga**
If Kageyama gets tired,
or if something happens,
**[14:11] Suga**
I want to fill that void,
or be a substitute.
**[14:14] Suga**
Even if it's out of pity
because I'm a third-year,
**[14:18] Suga**
as long as I get another chance
to play in a match,
**[14:20] Suga**
that's all that matters.
**[14:23] Suga**
I don't care if I'm not the official setter.
**[14:25] Suga**
I won't give up my desire
to play on the court.
**[14:27] Suga**
So I want as many chances as possible.
**[14:33] Suga**
I'm sorry for being so presumptuous.
**[14:36] Kei**
Sugawara.
**[14:38] Kei**
I think I've been underestimating you.
**[14:41] Kei**
To be honest, I'm amazed at you right now.
**[14:44] Suga**
What?
**[14:45] Kei**
I'm not an experienced coach yet, but...
**[14:49] Kei**
I will do everything in my power
so you guys can go on winning.
**[14:55] Suga**
Thank you.
**[14:56] Kei**
Yeah.
**[14:58] Sawa**
I'm going to get fired up.
We'll win as many as we can.
**[15:01] Asahi**
Yeah.
**[15:02] All**
Thank you for the food.
**[15:06] Tsuki**
Where does that appetite come from?
**[15:10] Nishi**
Hey, eat. Eat even if
you can't eat any more!
**[15:12] Nishi**
It's midsummer. Just look at you guys.
**[15:14] Asahi**
You're eating more than usual today, Suga.
**[15:15] Nishi**
You'll shrivel up and croak if you don't eat!
**[15:16] Suga**
You think so?
**[15:17] Suga**
I'll eat a lot, and give it my all.
**[15:18] Hinata**
Yamaguchi, you're not eating that?
**[15:21] Nishi**
Hey! Let Yamaguchi eat his own food!
**[15:37] Kei**
For the Nekoma battle, this
will be our starting order.
***SIGN*** WS Sawamura MB Hinata WS Tanaka

**[15:46] Kei**
It's a configuration you're barely used to,
**[15:49] Kei**
so I'm not expecting you
to synchronize right away.
**[15:52] Kei**
We now have an amazing libero,
and the ace has returned,
**[15:55] Kei**
but don't rely on those facts
or think victory is assured.
**[15:59] Kei**
Victory goes to the team that connects.
**[16:01] Kei**
Let's see how this configuration works
**[16:03] Kei**
in the battle against Karasuno's
long-standing rival, Nekoma.
***SIGN*** Equipment room
**[16:06] All**
Yeah.
**[16:12] Nishi**
Asahi-san.
**[16:17] Nishi**
I needn't mention Suga-san of course,
but you're probably
**[16:18] Nishi**
feeling sorry for Ennoshita-san
and the others, too, aren't you?
**[16:22] Enno**
What?
**[16:24] Nishi**
The strong stand on the court.
That's how it is.
**[16:28] Enno**
Um, Asahi-san.
**[16:31] Enno**
I can't say I've always
been a devoted player.
**[16:35] Enno**
There was a time I quit, even. So...
**[16:38] Nishi**
If they become stronger than
the ace in mind and body,
**[16:41] Nishi**
they will rightfully steal the regular
position out from under you, Asahi-san.
**[16:45] Nishi**
Right, Chikara?
**[16:46] Enno**
Huh? I wouldn't go that far...
**[16:48] Nishi**
Or if a regular position were to be stolen,
maybe it would be Ryu's first.
**[16:51] Tanaka**
You've got some nerve!
**[16:53] Tanaka**
Throw the first punch, Ennoshita!
**[16:56] Enno**
Nishinoya, that's enough!
You've made your point!
**[17:03] Hinata**
There.
**[17:04] Hinata**
Um, Ennoshita-san...
**[17:07] Enno**
Hm?
**[17:07] Hinata**
What you said before practice...
**[17:09] Enno**
Oh, about quitting once?
**[17:12] Enno**
You've heard that Coach Ukai
came back for a while last year, right?
**[17:17] Hin/Kag**
Yes.
**[17:18] Kinoshita**
It's pathetic, but there were a few of us
**[17:23] Kinoshita**
who couldn't keep up with his training.
**[17:25] Kinoshita**
The club was just for fun 'til he came back.
**[17:28] Kinoshita**
Then it suddenly became a club
for the purpose of winning.
**[17:31] Enno**
Those of us who were just casual
players got scared and quit.
**[17:35] Narita**
But we still wanted to play volleyball,
so we decided to come back.
**[17:39] Narita**
By then Coach Ukai was already gone.
**[17:42] Enno**
We're pathetic second-years,
**[17:46] Enno**
but we came back.
**[17:48] ---**
So we want to do our best,
and not get left in the dust by you guys.
**[17:51] Enno**
So we'll say it one more time.
We look forward to playing with you.
**[17:54] Hin/Kag**
Yes.
**[18:03] Kiyoko**

But only Noya-san's is orange. You stand out.
**[18:19] Tsuki**
Thank you very much.
**[18:21] Nishi**
Of course. After all, I have the leading role.
**[18:24] Hinata**
Leading role?
**[18:26] Kage**
The libero goes on and off the court
frequently during a match.
**[18:30] Kage**
He's the only one that
needs to be noticeable. Idiot.
**[18:34] Hinata**
I know that. I totally know that.
**[18:42] Hinata**
Kageyama's one digit different than me.
**[18:44] Tan/Tsu**
I knew he was going to say that.
**[18:46] Kage**
Just be grateful we first-years
get to wear a uniform at all.
**[18:49] Hinata**
I know that.
**[18:51] Sawa**
Yeah, I guess you don't
remember that number...
**[18:54] Suga**
...because you only saw
it once on TV, right?
**[18:56] Hinata**
Huh?
**[18:58] Sawa**
The Little Giant wore #10
when he went to nationals.
**[19:08] Hinata**
Was this your thoughtful idea, Coach?
**[19:10] Kei**
Nope, just a coincidence.
**[19:11] Hinata**
Then, it's destiny.
**[19:13] Kage**
It's a coincidence.
**[19:14] Hinata**
Don't be jealous, Kageyama-kun.
**[19:16] Kage**
Why would I be jealous?
**[19:18] Kei**
By the way,
**[19:19] Kei**
The Little Giant that Hinata admires
played on the best team Karasuno's ever had.
**[19:25] Kei**
But even then, Karasuno never
defeated Nekoma. Not even once.
**[19:29] Kei**
It was one loss after another.
**[19:31] Kei**
I want you to turn the tables on them.
**[19:33] All**
Yeah.
**[19:34] Kei**
Okay, let's resume practice.
**[19:37] All**
Yeah.
**[19:39] Takeda**
Nekoma must be very good.
**[19:42] Takeda**
What's their team like?
**[19:43] Kei**
I don't know about now, but in the past,
**[19:46] ---**
the team has had very solid receivers.
**[19:49] Kei**
It's not that they had outstanding players.
**[19:52] Kei**
They just had no holes.
They were the opposite of our team.
**[19:55] Kei**
They lived up to their "Neko" name...
**[19:58] Kei**
They were flexible.

Why are they so good?
**[20:27] Yamamoto**
About our destined opponent, Karasuno...
**[20:29] Yamamoto**
Do they have a female manager or not?
**[20:32] Yamamoto**
I bet a yakisoba bread that they don't.
**[20:34] Inuoka**
What? I'd prefer that they did,
so my bet is that they do.
**[20:38] Shibayama**
Me, too.
**[20:39] Yamamoto**
Jackasses. We don't, so won't
it make you mad if they do?
**[20:44] Both**
Uh...
**[20:46] Yamamoto**
What if they had a beauty for a manager?
**[20:50] Yamamoto**
I won't ever forgive them!
**[20:52] Yamamoto**
I never will.
**[20:54] Yamamoto**
And if that's the case,
you'd better watch out, Karasuno!
**[20:57] Kuro-O**
Shut up, Yamamoto!
**[20:59] Yamamoto**
Hey, Kenma. What do you think?
**[21:03] Kozume**
I don't care either way.

I knew you'd say that.
**[21:07] Kozume**
But...
**[21:08] Yamamoto**
Huh?
**[21:09] Kozume**
I'm kind of looking forward to it.
**[21:11] Kozume**
Our match against Karasuno.
**[21:14] Yamamoto**
Kenma, who has no will to play,
is looking forward to a match?
**[21:19] Kuro-O**
Yamamoto, you seem full of energy.
**[21:21] Kuro-O**
You can practice double
the amount if you'd like.
**[21:24] Yamamoto**
S-Sorry.
**[21:37] Kage**
Hey, Hinata.
**[21:39] Kage**
They said it's our turn to bathe.
**[21:43] Kage**
Hey. Don't get all worked up again and barf.
**[21:47] Hinata**
I won't barf.
**[21:49] Hinata**
I know it goes without saying,
but even if they can't play in the match,
**[21:53] Hinata**
I know they still want to play.
**[21:56] Hinata**
I'm only allowed to play
because of your toss.
**[22:00] Hinata**
It's frustrating, but I wouldn't
be allowed on my own merit.
**[22:07] Hinata**
I'm taking a bath and
going to sleep right away.
**[22:09] Kage**
Damn you, bastard...
That was a false start!
**[22:14] Tsuki**
Why must they compete to see
who can bathe the fastest?
**[22:17] Tsuki**
They're morons.

Unfortunately, both schools were eliminated

Karasuno High School of Miyagi
**[00:34] ---**
and Nekoma High School as
second to represent Tokyo
**[00:37] Takeda**
attended the Spring High School
Volleyball Nationals, but...
**[00:41] Takeda**
Karasuno was defeated in the third round,
**[00:44] ---**
and Nekoma was eliminated
in the quarterfinals.
**[00:47] Takeda**
Though both teams repeatedly played
each other in practice matches,
**[00:51] Takeda**
they never battled each
other in a public arena.

Eventually, both coaches retired.

We've all just met.

We're awkward and fragmented.

But regardless, we're facing our first match.

We know nothing about Nekoma's team,
nor the kind of walls we'll hit.
**[05:47] Sawa**
But when we find a wall,

that's our chance to jump over it.

**[07:07] Asahi**
Got it!
**[07:08] Asahi**
Sorry, it's a little short.
**[07:10] Nishi**
That's what you get for
ditching a month, Asahi-san!
**[07:12] Asahi**
I'm sorry.
**[07:14] Sawa**
Kageyama, cover.
**[07:14] Kage**
Right!
**[07:27] Inu**
He's so fast... What the?
**[07:29] Yaku**
A quick attack from a place like that?
**[07:32] Nekomata**
What the heck was that?
**[07:33] ---**
He wasn't watching the toss.
**[07:37] Kozu**
That was amazing.
**[07:39] Kozu**
I'm shocked.
**[07:41] Nishi**
Nice, Shoyo.
**[07:42] Hinata**
Thanks.
**[07:44] Tanaka**
Here goes.
**[07:47] Yaku**
Fukunaga.
**[07:48] Yamamoto**
All right.
**[07:51] Kage**
Nice receive.
**[07:53] Inu**
*Another quick attack.*
**[08:02] Neko**
That one was inevitable.
**[08:05] Nishi**
We're counting on you.
**[08:09] Inu**
We're counting on you.
**[08:10] Yaku**
Yeah.
**[08:11] Suga**
Good job.
**[08:12] Nishi**
Thanks.
**[08:15] Nishi**
Their libero is trouble.
**[08:17] Suga**
Huh?
**[08:18] Nishi**
He's never seen Asahi-san's spike,
yet the ball hit his hand.
**[08:23] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[08:24] Nishi**
Excuse me. Please take this.
**[08:25] Suga**
Oh, yeah.
**[08:27] Nishi**
Don't worry, don't worry.
**[08:29] Takeda**
Nishinoya-kun switches in and out so fast.
**[08:32] Suga**
Yes, liberos specialize in defense,
**[08:34] ---**
so they can go in and out of the court often.
***SIGN*** Net
***SIGN*** Vanguard
***SIGN*** Rear guard
**[08:37] Suga**
In our team, the middle blockers,
Hinata and Tsukishima,
**[08:39] ---**
rotate to rear guard to hit serves,
**[08:41] Suga**
and when one rally is finished,
Nishinoya makes the switch.
**[08:45] Tanaka**
My turn.
**[08:55] Neko**
This is ridiculous.
**[08:58] Shima**
Forced to time out.
**[09:01] Neko**
Their libero and spikers are good.
**[09:04] Neko**
The most ridiculous of all is that setter.
**[09:08] Neko**
He's a monster.
**[09:10] Neko**
He tosses with incredible speed
to the highest spiking point.
**[09:13] Neko**
His control is as if he's threading a needle.
**[09:17] Neko**
So he's a genius. We can't help that.
**[09:19] Neko**
But, a genius in their midst
doesn't guarantee their victory.
**[09:28] Kozume**
If Shoyo is the heart of their offense...
**[09:30] Kozume**
all we need to do is stop Shoyo.
**[09:32] Yamamoto**
Shoyo?
**[09:33] Kuro**
That speedy #10.
**[09:35] Neko**
That #9 and #10 are,
in a manner of speaking...
**[09:39] Neko**
an oni and his iron club.
**[09:42] Neko**
For starters, we steal the oni's iron club.
***SIGN*** Nekoma Karasuno
**[09:47] Takeda**
Amazing. We're doing well.
**[09:50] Kei**
I'm getting the creeps.
**[09:52] Takeda**
Huh?
**[09:53] Kei**
Like we're being watched, and analyzed...
**[10:00] Inu**
Damn it.
***SIGN*** Nekoma Karasuno
**[10:01] Yamamoto**
It's all good.
**[10:03] ---**
That was close.
**[10:04] Inu**
Sorry.
**[10:04] Kage**
*Their #7... he's following Hinata.*
**[10:08] Taki**
Nekoma moved the blockers to the side.
**[10:10] Shima**
Yeah.
**[10:11] Shima**
They're stack blocking.
**[10:14] Kage**
*Those blockers aren't there to mark the ace.*
**[10:18] ---**
*Maybe...*
**[10:19] Kei**
*...they're trying to pin down Hinata?*
**[10:22] (Flashback) Kozume**
We can't let Shoyo move around so much.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Kozume**
From what I've seen,
**[10:29] (Flashback) ---**
Shoyo simply dashes to where
there are no blockers.
**[10:33] (Flashback) Kozume**
So if the blockers move to one side,
**[10:35] (Flashback) ---**
he'll move to the opposite side.
**[10:38] (Flashback) Kozume**
Then all we have to do is chase him.
**[10:39] (Flashback) Inu**
Got it!
**[10:41] (Flashback) Kozume**
I think anyone would be shocked
the first time they see that attack.
**[10:47] (Flashback) Kozume**
But even a game that seems
impossible to beat at first...
**[10:50] (Flashback) Kozume**
If you keep playing it
**[10:53] (Flashback) Kozume**
you get used to it.
**[10:55] Inu**
*Chase #10. Chase #10.*
**[11:01] Kage**
*He touched it again.*
**[11:05] Hinata**
A quick attack's coming.
**[11:10] Nishi**
Damn.
**[11:11] Sawa**
Don't worry about it!
**[11:12] Takeda**
That was a dump.
**[11:14] Kage**
Hey, don't get too overt.
**[11:17] Kage**
They can detect even the tiniest fault.
**[11:21] Sawa**
In front!
**[11:23] Tanaka**
Sorry, Noya-san! Cover for me.
**[11:25] Nishi**
I got this.
**[11:26] Kage**
Right!
**[11:27] Hinata**
What? Kageyama called for a toss?
**[11:30] Nishi**
Kageyama, get the last!
**[11:38] Kage**
Hey, that's called line shot.
It goes straight along the sideline.
**[11:41] Kage**
Make sure you can tell them apart!
**[11:45] Kage**
This guy's so good, it's irritating...
**[11:48] Suga**
Totally.
***SIGN*** Nekoma Karasuno
**[11:53] Sawa**
Nice one-touch, Tsukishima.
**[11:55] Kozume**
*This guy is intelligent.*
**[11:57] Kozume**
*He observes and thinks carefully.*
**[12:00] ---**
*The complete opposite of Shoyo.*
**[12:03] Tanaka**
Nice serve.
**[12:04] Kuro**
Yamamoto.
**[12:05] Yamamoto**
All right.
**[12:06] Yaku**
Nice receive.
**[12:08] Kozume**
*Who should I toss to?*
**[12:10] Tsuki**
*To the right?*
**[12:12] Kozume**
*To the left.*
**[12:14] Kozume**
*I knew it. He's watching me.*
**[12:16] ---**
*He also responds quickly...*
**[12:19] All**
All right.
**[12:22] Kage**
*His glance just then... was a feint.*
**[12:25] Neko**
He's not good with people,
**[12:27] ---**
so he's concerned about what other's think.
**[12:29] Neko**
Hence he's good at observing people.
**[12:32] Neko**
He comes up with good theories.
**[12:34] Neko**
Theories like, "I bet this guy moves like this."
**[12:39] Neko**
But that alone is not
the strength of our team.
**[13:00] Kozume**
I've never made many friends.
**[13:05] Kozume**
I'm not good with people,
and I don't want to interact with them.
**[13:08] Kozume**
But I'm worried about what they think of me.
**[13:11] Kozume**
My nerves were always on edge,
because I didn't want to be noticed.
**[13:14] Kozume**
My only buddy was Kuro,
who's close to my age and lives nearby.
**[13:19] Kozume**
I don't particularly like sports,
**[13:22] ---**
but I've played volleyball for a long time.
**[13:25] Kozume**
I reluctantly let Kuro talk me into
joining the junior high volleyball club.
**[13:30] Kozume**
It was sort of fun.
**[13:32] Kozume**
I continued doing it in high school,
just because.
**[13:36] Kozume**
The school was strong until
shortly before I joined.
**[13:39] Kozume**
There were many people.
**[13:41] Kozume**
I didn't think I could handle it.
**[13:43] (Flashback) Senpai**
First-year, you're a slow cleaner.
**[13:45] (Flashback) ---**
We can't go home!
**[13:46] Kozume**
*Why are my senpai so bossy,*
**[13:48] ---**
* just because they were born*
* a year or two before me?*
**[13:56] (Flashback) Kuro**
Don't quit.
**[13:58] (Flashback) ---**
You have sharp observation skills,
and give directions perfectly.
**[14:02] (Flashback) Kuro**
The first and second-years
know you're awesome.
**[14:07] (Flashback) Kuro**
You will definitely make our team strong.
**[14:14] Takeda**
He doesn't stand out.
**[14:15] Kei**
Huh?
**[14:16] Takeda**
Even a beginner can sense
Kageyama-kun's amazing presence.
**[14:22] Takeda**
Nekoma's setter
**[14:23] ---**
might be doing amazing things,
but you can't really tell.
**[14:29] Kei**
It's because of their stable receiving.
**[14:32] Kei**
In developing a diverse offensive,
the most important thing
**[14:36] Kei**
are the receives that cleanly return
above the setter's head.
**[14:40] Kei**
Their setter can utilize his talents
because of those receives.
**[14:45] Kei**
For Karasuno, setter Kageyama
unifies our awkward team
**[14:48] ---**
with his overwhelming talent.
**[14:50] Kei**
In Nekoma, setter Kozume is supported
by the entire team's receiving power.
**[14:56] Kuro**
*We're like the blood in our veins.*
**[14:58] Kuro**
*We need to keep flowing without stopping.*
**[15:00] Kuro**
*Keep the oxygen moving*
**[15:03] Kuro**
*to keep our brains working properly!*
**[15:10] Inu**
One touch!
**[15:11] Yamamoto**
Nice cover, Yaku-san.
**[15:13] Neko**
Even if we don't have a superhuman ace,
**[15:16] Neko**
we just have to modestly, carefully,
keep scoring one point at a time.
***SIGN*** Nekoma Karasuno
**[15:23] All**
All right.
**[15:25] Hinata**
Kageyama, I'll slam
the next one, so set to me.
**[15:29] Kage**
It's their set point.
If you miss, we'll lose the set.
**[15:34] Hinata**
I know. I'll score.
**[15:38] Tanaka**
Nice receive.
**[15:40] Kozume**
* But even a game that seems*
* impossible to beat at first...*
**[15:43] Kozume**
*If you keep playing it*
**[15:51] Kozume**
*you get used to it.*
***SIGN*** Nekoma Karasuno
**[16:00] Inu**
I got you, at last.
**[16:02] All**
All right.
**[16:06] Kage**
Hey, we can't afford to get discouraged.
**[16:08] ---**
We'll take back the next set.
**[16:10] Kei**
There's no such thing as
an unstoppable spike.
**[16:13] ---**
Don't think otherwise.
**[16:14] Tanaka**
You'll score next time, Hinata.
**[16:15] Nishi**
Like, wham!
**[16:18] Hinata**
Right!
**[16:22] Shima**
Yikes, again...
**[16:23] Inu**
All right.
**[16:24] Yamamoto**
Nice block, Inuoka!
**[16:25] Kei**
*It's not dumb luck.*
**[16:27] ---**
* Their #7's getting used*
* to Hinata's moves.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[16:38] Nishi**
Daichi-san, nice cover.
**[16:39] Tanaka**
Left.
**[16:40] Kage**
Tanaka-san.
**[16:40] Kei**
You're wondering why I don't
switch Hinata out, aren't you?
**[16:44] Tsuki**
Not really.
**[16:45] Kei**
If this were an official match, I might.
**[16:49] Kei**
But this is my chance to find a solution.
**[16:52] Kei**
However, if Hinata starts
to lose his will to fight,
**[16:56] Kei**
it might be better to let him sit one out.
**[17:01] Kage**
*He lost him?*
**[17:05] Tanaka**
Damn.
**[17:06] Takeda**
It didn't work.
**[17:07] All**
All right.
**[17:11] Suga**
* He was completely shut out of his*
* first and last match in junior high.*
**[17:16] Suga**
* And in high school, he couldn't*
* overcome Tsukishima's height at all.*
**[17:20] Suga**
*Regardless, he finally acquired a*
**[17:22] ---**
* method to fight against opponents*
* much taller than him.*
**[17:25] Suga**
*It's Hinata's unique and strongest attack...*
**[17:29] Suga**
*but it was stopped by a single blocker.*
**[17:33] Neko**
The "human wall" that breaks the will.
**[17:35] Neko**
The more you run into it,
the more discouraged you feel.
**[17:48] Neko**
He's smiling.
**[17:51] Kage**
Hey.
**[17:52] Hinata**
Something's different.
**[17:56] Hinata**
Different from the time when I couldn't see
the "other side" because of blockers.
**[17:59] Hinata**
I was at a complete loss for what to do.
**[18:04] Hinata**
But now it's different.
**[18:06] Hinata**
I can tell they're matching me
by the skin of their teeth.
**[18:09] Hinata**
I used to be afraid of blocks.
I hated them.
**[18:13] Hinata**
But when that guy's in front
of me, I feel excitement.
**[18:17] Hinata**
With your toss, and with
some kind of strategy,
**[18:20] Hinata**
I'm sure we can break through this wall.
**[18:24] Hinata**
So just one more time...
**[18:26] Hinata**
I need you to set to me!
**[18:30] Kage**
That goes without saying.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[18:33] Yamamoto**
Nice serve.
**[18:49] Suga**
That toss, did Hinata just...
**[18:51] Yama**
He saw it.
**[18:52] Suga**
He trusted Kageyama
with the ball all this time!
**[18:56] ---**
All he ever did was give it a full swing...
**[18:57] Kei**
T-Time out!
**[19:03] Hinata**
I-It's not that I didn't
trust your toss! I just...
**[19:06] Hinata**
I dunno.
**[19:07] Hinata**
What are you panicking about?
**[19:09] Kei**
Kageyama.
**[19:10] ---**
Give Hinata a softer toss than usual.
**[19:14] Kei**
Not the usual direct delivery.
**[19:17] Kei**
An indirect delivery?
**[19:19] Hinata**
In...
**[19:20] Kei**
Instead of the usual fast toss
on a straight trajectory,
**[19:23] Kei**
it's a slightly floating kind of toss.
**[19:26] Kei**
I realize it might be hard to
suddenly change tack, but...
**[19:31] Kage**
I'll do it.
**[19:33] Takeda**
Why are you changing the toss?
**[19:36] Kei**
To give Hinata an advantage in the air.
**[19:39] Kei**
I saw Hinata trying to thwart
the block while in mid-air.
**[19:42] Takeda**
Huh?
**[19:43] Kei**
He probably saw Kageyama's technique
**[19:45] ---**
to thwart a block, and tried to copy it.
**[19:48] Kei**
He just failed miserably.
**[19:57] Hinata**
* I've been spiking without*
* thinking all this time...*
**[20:00] Hinata**
* Now that I have to coordinate with*
* the ball on my own, I don't know how.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[20:03] Kei**
Time out, once more.
**[20:06] Kei**
Hinata, I want you to relax.
**[20:07] Hinata**
Okay.
**[20:08] Hinata**
I'm s-sorry. I've missed so many.
**[20:12] Tanaka**
What are you saying?
**[20:13] ---**
It's because of you I get to freely spike.
**[20:16] Tanaka**
It's okay to have matches in which
I look cooler than you.
**[20:20] Nishi**
Although Asahi-san's scoring more.
**[20:23] Tanaka**
Shut up. Anyway, it's fine.
Right, Asahi-san?
**[20:26] Asahi**
Huh? Oh, right, right.
**[20:28] Asahi**
We'll make up for lost points.
**[20:31] Tsuki**
Although you might get swapped out,
if you keep blowing it.
**[20:34] Tanaka**
Tsukishima.
**[20:37] Sawa**
If you feel like you're almost there,
then give it all you've got.
**[20:39] Sawa**
You're alone when you jump,
**[20:42] Sawa**
but remember that we're all behind you.
**[20:46] Sawa**
Besides, the ace says he'll
make up for lost points.
**[20:50] Saga**
Daichi, don't put pressure on Asahi.
**[20:52] ---**
What if he gets hurt?
**[20:54] Nishi**
That's right. His heart is made of glass.
**[20:57] Tanaka**
Please stop ganging up on him.
**[21:02] Nishi**
Asahi-san.
**[21:03] Asahi**
Left.
**[21:05] Yamaguchi**
Go.
**[21:07] Enno**
Good eye!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[21:11] Takeda**
Again, all he can do is hit returns.
**[21:15] Takeda**
What can we do to help him improve?
**[21:17] Kei**
It's only natural he can't do
a play he's never done before.
**[21:21] Hinata**
Bring it on.
**[21:21] Kei**
But everything you learn,
you learn by doing.
**[21:26] Kei**
Remember Karasuno's Little Giant?
**[21:29] Takeda**
The ace Hinata-kun idolizes?
**[21:31] Kei**
He lived up to his name.
He was only 170 cm tall.
**[21:35] Kei**
In the beginning, he was constantly blocked.
**[21:38] Kei**
But in the latter half of his second year,
**[21:40] Kei**
he was peerless when it
came to battling mid-air.
**[21:44] Kei**
He couldn't overcome the blockers' height,
**[21:46] ---**
so he aimed at spaces in between them.
**[21:48] Kei**
He'd make the ball touch the
blockers' fingertips on purpose,
**[21:50] Kei**
and make it ricochet.
**[21:52] Kei**
That's how he conceived his own
style of battle as a short player.
**[21:57] Kei**
I'm just repeating the story
my granddad told me.
**[22:00] Takeda**
Former Coach Ukai?
**[22:02] Kei**
Yeah. I remember everything my
granddad told me really well.
**[22:08] (Flashback) Ukei**
Because people don't have wings...
**[22:10] (Flashback) Ukei**
We look for ways to fly.
**[22:30] Takeda**
Shucks, that was out.
**[22:33] Inu**
That was awesome.
**[22:35] Inu**
That was awesome, Shoyo.
**[22:40] Hinata**
One more.

That little shrimp of
yours, Hinata-kun, was it?
**[24:16] Kuro**
He's pretty amazing!
Though his last spike was out.
**[24:18] Sawa**
No, no. Your Inuoka-kun
was even more amazing.
**[24:21] Sawa**
Though he seemed pretty
impressed by the enemy.
**[24:23] Kozume**
Uh, you guys are scaring me.

*One more time...*

**[01:50] Kage**
The toss was a little too high.
**[01:53] Hinata**
Captain.
**[01:55] Nishi**
Nice save, Daichi-san.
**[01:57] Yaku**
It's in.
**[01:58] Yamamoto**
Front, front.
**[02:00] Yaku**
Nice, Inuoka.
**[02:01] Yamamoto**
Bring it.
**[02:01] Kozume**
Tora.
**[02:02] Tanaka**
Let's do this, Hinata. One, two...
**[02:06] Tanaka**
All right.
**[02:10] Inuoka**
Kai-san, nice save.
**[02:11] Taki**
Wow, the supporting players
on both teams are doing a good job.
**[02:15] Shimada**
They're not flashy, but they
keep the ball in play.
**[02:18] ---**
There wouldn't be a match
without them.
**[02:20] Yamamoto**
Kenma.
**[02:21] Yamamoto**
One more!
**[02:24] Yamamoto**
Even if I'm only average on offense,
**[02:27] Yamamoto**
I'm still Nekoma's ace!
**[02:31] Yamamoto**
All right!
**[02:33] Tanaka**
Damn.
**[02:34] Shiba**
Taketora-san is more fired up than usual.
**[02:38] Nekomata**
Karasuno's team has a a similar kind of guy. Maybe that's why.
**[02:42] Nekomata**
Or maybe he got inspired by the
battle between Inuoka and their #10.
**[02:48] Takeda**
Hinata-kun and Kageyama-kun's
quicks haven't been syncing...
**[02:53] Kei**
That's because they're
trying to do normal quicks,
**[02:56] Kei**
instead of the freak quicks
**[02:58] ---**
where Kageyama matches Hinata perfectly.
**[03:02] Kei**
But Hinata needs to develop his skills.
**[03:03] Kage**
You're still straining.
Your timing's slower than usual.
**[03:05] Kei**
His body has to learn,
**[03:07] Kei**
and the only way is through repetition.
**[03:10] Kei**
He'll have to keep training,
but once he has a unique set of skills...
**[03:15] Nekomata**
...that duo will cease being
an oni and his iron club.
**[03:19] Nekomata**
They'll become a pair of oni.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[03:23] Yamamoto**
Nice serve.
**[03:28] Hinata**
* Which way should I receive?*
* Over or under?*
**[03:32] Tanaka**
Cover, cover.
**[03:33] Nishi**
Ryu.
**[03:34] Tanaka**
All right! Asahi-san's not the only one
**[03:37] ---**
who can score in a pinch.
**[03:42] Shima**
Wow.
**[03:43] Taki**
He blew away the block.
**[03:44] Tan/Nish**
Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[03:52] Hinata**
* I won't just keep*
* getting blocked by you.*
**[03:54] Hinata**
*I'll block you, too.*
**[03:56] Sawa**
Hinata.
**[03:58] Sawa**
Like Kageyama says, don't strain too much.
**[04:00] Sawa**
Maintain a broad perspective.
**[04:02] Hinata**
Y-Yes.
**[04:05] Yaku**
Fukunaga.
**[04:09] Hinata**
* The guy with thick crewcut*
* dashed forward... A quick?*
**[04:12] Sawa**
*Maintain a broad perspective.*
**[04:15] Hinata**
*#7 just stepped out from behind #2?*
**[04:22] Nishi**
Nice one touch.
**[04:23] Sawa**
Free ball.
**[04:26] Shiba**
So fast!
**[04:28] Suga**
*Nekoma's #7 reacts fast, too.*
**[04:31] Nekomata**
They influence each other
in a tight battle.
**[04:35] Nekomata**
At times, they push each other's abilities
to new heights.
**[04:39] Nekomata**
They are indeed rivals.
**[04:44] Suga**
He got it through.
**[04:45] Yama**
It landed in.
**[04:46] Hinata**
All right.
**[04:48] Kage**
*Still a little too high...*
**[04:52] Hin/Inu**
One more.
**[04:59] Yamamoto**
All right!
**[05:00] Tanaka**
Damn.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[05:03] Suga**
We can't let them
reach 20 points we do.
**[05:06] Kai**
Inuoka, serve.
**[05:08] Inu**
Yes, sir.
**[05:13] Hinata**
* When the lanky angy*
* guy rotates to rear guard,*
**[05:16] Hinata**
*the rooster head becomes vanguard...*
**[05:19] Hinata**
*It's fun playing against Lanky Angy, but...*
**[05:22] Hinata**
*This guy is scary.*
**[05:24] Kuro**
Inuoka's 20 cm taller than you,
and yet you've played an even match.
**[05:28] Kuro**
That's amazing, Shrimp.
**[05:31] Hinata**
You can call me a shrimp,
but you're the real shrimp.
**[05:35] Kage**
Hey.
**[05:36] Hinata**
What are you doing?
**[05:38] Kage**
Let's do our usual quick set this time.
**[05:41] Hinata**
The zoomy one, not the floaty one?
**[05:43] Kage**
That's right.
**[05:44] Hinata**
But I was starting to get
the hang of the floaty one.
**[05:49] Kage**
Not this time.
**[05:50] Kage**
Not while that guy is vanguard.
**[05:53] Hinata**
But why?
**[05:54] Kage**
Just because.
**[05:55] Hinata**
Huh?
**[05:55] Kage**
It's my intuition.
**[05:58] Yaku**
Inuoka, nice serve.
**[06:04] Kage**
Yes.
**[06:06] Hinata**
That always feels so good.
**[06:09] Kei**
I think that was a good decision.
**[06:11] Takeda**
What?
**[06:12] Kuro**
Sorry, sorry. I didn't react at all.
**[06:12] Kei**
I think the freak quick is more effective
**[06:14] ---**
against that third year middle blocker.
**[06:15] Inu**
Kuro-san, don't worry.
**[06:17] Kei**
It's because a normal quick
**[06:20] ---**
would be an easy target
for that skilled middle blocker.
**[06:23] Hinata**
Okay, it's my serve next.
**[06:23] Kuro**
That sure was amazing.
**[06:25] Kage**
Get it over the net, okay?
**[06:25] ---**
Those guys are what you call superhuman.
**[06:27] Hinata**
I know that.
**[06:30] Kuro**
Okay, then...
**[06:31] Kuro**
Let's get that point back.
**[06:34] Tanaka**
Hinata, nice serve.
**[06:38] Yamamoto**
Nice receive.
**[06:40] Takeda**
Wow, they got jumbled...
**[06:43] Taki**
Who's getting this one?
**[06:44] Shima**
It's gotta be that strong-looking guy...
**[06:46] Shima**
#4!
**[06:49] Asahi**
*Back row attack...*
**[06:51] Asahi**
*The three in front were decoys!*
**[06:52] Suga**
*Our block's been completely thwarted.*
**[06:57] Kuro**
Free ball.
**[06:59] Asahi**
Who's next?
**[07:03] Kage**
*An A quick.*
**[07:04] Taki**
Wow.
**[07:06] Shima**
In a split second.
**[07:07] Kei**
That was quite a solid quick.
**[07:12] Kei**
Maybe it's because he's keeping a
close eye on our unpredictable Hinata.
**[07:12] Yamamoto**
All right, my serve.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[07:16] Yaku**
Yamamoto, nice serve.
**[07:19] Tanaka**
Crap.
**[07:21] Tanaka**
Sorry, cover!
**[07:22] Asahi**
I'm open!
**[07:22] Nishi**
Asahi-san.
**[07:27] Kei**
*Who's attacking next?*
**[07:29] Asahi**
*Another A quick?*
**[07:32] Asahi**
*He didn't jump!*
**[07:38] Takeda**
What was that?
**[07:40] Kei**
A personal time difference attack.
**[07:42] Kei**
He fakes doing a quick,
**[07:44] Kei**
then spikes after messing up
the blockers' timing.
**[07:47] Kei**
You don't see it used much these days.
**[07:51] Kei**
But he took the initiative immediately
after that perfect A quick.
**[07:55] Kuro**
Nice toss.
**[07:56] Kei**
That was impressive.
**[07:56] Yamamoto**
Nice kill, Kuro-san.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[07:58] Taki**
Nekoma's reached 20 points.
**[08:00] Shima**
It's over if they score five more points.
**[08:03] Kei**
We're in trouble.
**[08:05] Kei**
And I've already used up the two timeouts.
**[08:10] Kei**
*Damn it! He's smirking at me!*
**[08:13] Takeda**
You know...
**[08:15] ---**
Ever since their #1 came up front,
**[08:17] Takeda**
I can really tell that their team
has an experienced offense.
**[08:21] Kei**
I agree.
**[08:23] Kei**
Half our starting players are first-years,
**[08:25] Kei**
and they've just started playing together.
**[08:28] ---**
If our team is level 1,
**[08:29] Kei**
their team is 10 or 20 levels above ours.
**[08:30] Kuro**
Yamamoto, nice serve.
**[08:32] Kai**
Nice serve.
**[08:33] Takeda**
They're a fully mature cat,
and we're a newborn crow.
**[08:38] Kei**
Yeah, something like that.
**[08:42] Kei**
In terms of defense and offense,
we're no match for them.
**[08:47] Kei**
At least for now.
**[08:50] Kei**
In which case...
**[08:52] Kei**
We've just gotta give it all we've got!
**[08:54] Kei**
Pound them with your power and speed!
**[08:57] Tanaka**
In other words, force them to surrender?
**[09:00] Hinata**
That's kind of villainous.
**[09:03] Kei**
Villainous, huh? That's fine.
**[09:05] Kei**
Crows are sort of villainous, aren't they?
**[09:08] Takeda**
Ukai-kun, you look really scary!
**[09:11] Kei**
We'll make up for our lousy quicks
and receives with sheer brute force.
**[09:15] Kei**
You guys are rough around
the edges and awkward,
**[09:17] Kei**
so use that as your weapon!
**[09:18] Kei**
Wield your weapons with all your might.
**[09:21] ---**
Attack,
**[09:22] Kei**
attack,
**[09:23] Kei**
and keep on attacking!
**[09:29] Suga**
Yes. Nice block, Tsukishima.
**[09:32] Yama**
Tsukki, nice.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[09:34] Yamamoto**
It's all right, Inuoka.
**[09:35] Inu**
Sorry.
**[09:37] Taki**
Karasuno's reached 20 points.
**[09:39] Shima**
Karasuno's totally gone on the offensive.
**[09:45] Nekomata**
You're not panicking, are you?
**[09:47] Team**
No, sir.
**[09:49] Nekomata**
Good.
**[09:50] ---**
Keep your connections solid.
**[09:52] Team**
Right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[10:00] Suga**
Okay, one more point and we're even.
**[10:03] Takeda**
D-D-Do your best.
**[10:05] Tanaka**
Keep calm. We'll stop this one.
**[10:07] Hinata**
Right.
**[10:13] Takeda**
Just when we thought we were out of danger,
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[10:15] Takeda**
it's Nekoma's match point.
**[10:17] Kuro**
One more point to go.
**[10:18] Yamamoto**
Yeah.
**[10:19] Kei**
*Damn it.*
**[10:20] Kei**
*Doesn't that guy ever panic?*
**[10:23] Kei**
* I guess he really is*
* a mature cat, after all.*
**[10:26] Takeda**
Don't worry.
**[10:29] Takeda**
Everyone is still fired up.
**[10:48] Tanaka**
All right...
**[10:49] Tanaka**
We'll even the score!
**[10:53] Yamamoto**
You won't get past me!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[11:03] Nekomata**
That #3 is up front now.
**[11:07] Kei**
*We'll completely lure over their middle blocker, their core blocker.*
**[11:11] Sawa**
Tanaka, nice serve.
**[11:11] Kei**
* On top of that, Hinata is capable*
* of thwarting him and scoring.*
**[11:16] Kei**
* And then there's Azumane, who*
* is our most powerful attacker.*
**[11:21] Kei**
*Now that those two are up front,*
**[11:23] ---**
* Karasuno has its best chance*
* of turning the tables.*
**[11:26] Kiyoko**
One more point and it's a deuce.
**[11:28] Takeda**
Yes. If we can reach a deuce, we'll have
a chance to turn the tables on them.
**[11:33] Takeda**
This is the moment of truth!
**[11:35] Kage**
Nice receive.
**[11:38] Kage**
*Hinata's quick is too uncertain right now.*
**[11:43] Takeda**
Go.
**[11:46] Yama**
He saved it.
**[11:48] Suga**
But...
**[11:49] Asahi**
It's coming back. Free ball!
**[11:51] Yaku**
Damn it. I'm sorry.
**[11:53] Kei**
Azumane, smash it!
**[11:54] Yamamoto**
Crap.
**[11:57] Sawa**
Slam it, Asahi!
**[12:01] Taki**
Saved again!
**[12:03] Shiba**
Now it's their free ball again.
**[12:05] Nekomata**
That's how it is.
**[12:06] Shiba**
Huh?
**[12:07] Nekomata**
Even if we lose our bearings
or can't get an actual attack over...
**[12:11] Nekomata**
As long as the ball is still
in play, we haven't lost.
**[12:15] Tanaka**
Free ball!
**[12:19] Kage**
*The way Hinata's moving...*
**[12:21] Kage**
* It's what I felt when*
* I first played against him.*
**[12:25] Kage**
* His overwhelming presence*
* at the most crucial moment...*
**[12:28] Kage**
* As if he's saying,*
* "I'm here. Give me the ball."*
**[12:33] Kage**
*He's calling me!*
**[12:43] Takeda**
We did it!
**[12:48] Nekomata**
The team with the stronger
spikes doesn't win...
**[12:59] Nekomata**
The team that drops the ball loses.
**[13:10] Nekomata**
And...
**[13:12] ---**
...that's what it means to "connect."
***SIGN*** Karasuno Nekoma
**[13:16] Team**
All right.
**[13:25] Kei**
We didn't make many mistakes.
**[13:28] ---**
Our best weapons were
working as they should.
**[13:32] Kei**
Yet, we still couldn't win.
**[13:36] Team**
Kenma, nice.
**[13:36] Kei**
They're a real team,
not a group of individuals.
**[13:41] Kei**
They totally defeated us.
**[13:44] Hinata**
One more time.
**[13:48] Hinata**
One more time.
**[13:50] ---**
Let's play.
**[13:52] Nekomata**
Yeah, I was planning on it.
**[13:54] Nekomata**
The only time you can play
one more time is a practice match.
**[14:00] Tanaka**
Good eye!
**[14:01] Kuro**
Nice serve.

I learned a lot watching you guys.

We did a lot of practice matches together.

You thoroughly defeated us.

They were good matches, every time.

However...

You're retiring?

Well, even if you're not around,
**[14:57] (Flashback) ---**
we can practice with other teams.
**[15:04] (Flashback) Nekomota**
But a good rival is hard to find.
**[15:09] Nekomata**
Old Man Ukai made a comeback,
but collapsed soon thereafter...
**[15:15] Nekomata**
I was afraid Karasuno would be
done for after that.
**[15:20] Nekomata**
But frankly, your abilities
exceeded my expectations.
**[15:24] Nekomata**
Especially on offense...
and #9 and #10's quicks.

You guys are pretty much unstoppable.
**[15:31] Nekomota**
And you two on the left,
you're both powerful weapons.
**[15:36] Nekomoto**
You just need to work on keeping connected.

Right!

As a team, you're rough-hewn
and lack training,

It took me a long time before
I could speak to her,

You, too. You're big, but

And I like how you "boom!"

It's not quite "bang!"
It's more like...

They don't sound like high schoolers.

But maybe you can act a little
more like a high schooler.

Ah, youth.

Do your best.
**[20:18] Takeda**
Thank you very much!
**[20:22] Neko**
Keishin. Do your best.
**[20:25] Neko**
We played three matches
and you didn't win a single set.
**[20:29] Kei**
I'll win them all the next time.
Just you wait and see.
**[20:35] Neko**
Let's hope you're not all talk.
**[20:38] Naoi**
Sensei, you're too confrontational.
**[20:40] Neko**
It's his fault.
He looks too much like that geezer.
**[20:42] Naoi**
That's an immature remark.
**[20:45] Takeda**
Ukai-kun.
**[20:46] ---**
You were saying you'd only
coach until the Nekoma match...
**[20:49] Kei**
I can't let him get away with that!
**[20:53] Kei**
I'll have my revenge for sure,
and on a huge stage.
**[21:00] Tak/Yama**
'Til we meet again, my friend.
**[21:03] Kozume**
What's with them?
**[21:04] Kuro**
Dunno. Don't stare too much.
**[21:10] Sawa**
We won't lose the next time.
**[21:12] Kuro**
We won't lose the next time, either.
**[21:14] Both**
Terrifying! They're terrifying!
**[21:16] Kei**
The next time around,
things won't go your way like they did today.
**[21:19] Naoi**
Fine. Otherwise, it wouldn't be good practice.
**[21:22] Suga**
And them, too!
**[21:23] Yaku**
They're so immature.
**[21:24] Hinata**
Kenma.
**[21:26] Kozume**
Shoyo.
**[21:28] Hinata**
When we talked on the road the other day,
**[21:30] ---**
you said you didn't
particularly like volleyball.
**[21:33] Kozume**
Oh. Yeah.
**[21:35] Hinata**
How did it feel to win today?
**[21:41] Kozume**
Sort of... normal.
**[21:47] Hinata**
The next time,
**[21:49] ---**
we'll make you guys desperate.
**[21:51] Hinata**
We'll win, and...
**[21:54] Hinata**
...we'll make you say,
"I'm mad," or "That was fun,"
**[21:58] ---**
instead of just, "Sort of."
**[22:02] Kozume**
Okay.
**[22:04] ---**
I look forward to it.
**[23:37] Kage**
If our match today was an official match...
**[23:41] Kage**
It would have been all over
after we lost the first match.
**[23:45] Kage**
Completely.

No.

***SIGN*** Miyagi Prefecture Tokonami High School
**[00:05] Ikejiri**
It's official.
**[00:07] Ikejiri**
I got the pairings for the
Inter-High preliminaries.
**[00:10] Haga**
At last.
**[00:12] Chaya**
Where's our first match gonna be?
**[00:13] Haga**
Let's see...
***SIGN*** Ohmisaki
***SIGN*** Tokonami
***SIGN*** Karasuno
***SIGN*** Date Tech
**[00:15] Haga**
Tori... Torino?
**[00:16] Chaya**
Torino? Is that a British school?
**[00:19] Ikejiri**
It's Karasuno, moron.
**[00:20] Ikejiri**
Besides, Torino would be Italian.
***SIGN*** Tokonami
**[00:22] Chaya**
I've heard of that school. They're...
**[00:27] Chaya**
"The fallen champions. Flightless crows."
**[00:30] Haga**
What's that? Some kind of idiom?
**[00:32] Ikejiri**
They used to be strong.
**[00:34] ---**
I think they even went to nationals once.
**[00:36] Chaya**
I hear they're not even
worth mentioning nowadays.
**[00:41] Haga**
Then maybe, just maybe...
**[00:42] Tamagawa**
They'll be easy to beat.
**[00:44] Both**
We won't lose in the first round
like we do every year.
**[00:46] Komaki**
But to make that happen, we have to train.
**[00:49] Haga**
Captain.
**[00:50] Komaki**
Get running.
**[00:52] All**
Yes, sir...
**[00:56] Ikejiri**
A guy from my junior high
volleyball club is at Karasuno.
**[01:02] Chaya**
Is it your first time
seeing him since then?
**[01:04] ---**
We've never played
against that school before.
**[01:06] Ikejiri**
He used to talk about how
unforgettable Karasuno was
**[01:10] ---**
in the spring tournament he saw on TV.
**[01:13] Ikejiri**
But he probably went there
because it's close to his home.
**[01:17] Ikejiri**
I wonder how he's doing now...
**[01:22] Ikejiri**

Don't just stand and watch.
**[01:32] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[01:33] Kei**
"This is the last rally."
Always tell yourself that.
**[01:36] Kei**
Give it all you've got!
**[01:39] Kei**
If you don't, that one rally you wasted
**[01:42] Kei**
could cost you the match!
**[01:48] (Flashback) Takeda**
Everyone, you all did a good job
in today's matches against Nekoma.
**[01:51] (Flashback) Takeda**
Inter-High preliminaries begin
next month on June 2nd.
**[01:57] (Flashback) Kei**
There are no district
preliminaries in Miyagi,
**[01:59] (Flashback) ---**
so we go straight to
prefectural preliminaries.
***SIGN*** Championship
**[02:00] (Flashback) Kei**
Out of about 60 teams in the prefecture,
only one will go to nationals.
***SIGN*** The winning team
**[02:06] (Flashback) Kei**
Lose one match and the journey ends.
**[02:09] (Flashback) Kei**
If you want to take revenge on Nekoma,
**[02:10] (Flashback) ---**
you must take first place in Miyagi.
There's no other way.
**[02:13] (Flashback) Kei**
Second place won't cut it.
**[02:15] (Flashback) Kei**
Of course, they'll have to win the battle
to represent Tokyo, as well.
**[02:19] (Flashback) Tanaka**
Those guys can do it.
**[02:21] (Flashback) Nishi**
Yeah. They're strong.
**[02:25] Hinata**
*Another match against Nekoma...*
**[02:28] Hinata**
*Again...*
**[02:35] Tanaka**
Nice, Hinata.
**[02:36] Kei**
Get back up quickly! One more time!
**[02:38] Hinata**

**[02:52] Nishi**

**[02:53] Asahi**
What, what?
**[02:56] Hinata**
What? What's that?
**[02:58] Tanaka**
Look.
***SIGN*** Boy's High School
This year, pay special attention to these three
GUYS!
**[03:00] Tanaka**
Shiratorizawa's Ushiwaka is among the
three most-noticed high schoolers
**[03:05] ---**
in the whole country.
**[03:08] Hinata**
Shiratorizawa! That's where
Kageyama couldn't get in.
**[03:10] Kage**
Shut up.
**[03:12] Kage (Background)**
What's so funny, you bastards?
**[03:13] Hinata**
Who's Ushiwaka?
**[03:15] Tsuki (Background)**
We're not laughing.
**[03:15] Tanaka**
You don't know?
**[03:16] Kage (Background)**
You're full of it.
**[03:17] Suga**
That's because you're only
a fan of the Little Giant.
**[03:19] Tanaka**
Let me tell you about Ushiwaka.
**[03:21] Tanaka**
He's unmistakably the number-one ace
of our prefecture: Ushijima Wakatoshi.
***SIGN*** Overwhelming power and height!! Super high-school ace!!
***SIGN*** Third-year Ushijima Wakatoshi
***SIGN*** His goal: To conquer nationals, of course!
**[03:27] Sawa**
Hmm. He definitely has "ace"
written all over him.
**[03:33] Asahi**
Hey, why are you looking at me?
**[03:36] Suga**
Kageyama, you were trying to get
into a place with guys like this?
**[03:39] Tanaka**
And you were going to yell
at the super high-school ace,
**[03:43] ---**
"Move faster, clumsy oaf!" and stuff, right?
**[03:46] Kage**
I wouldn't say that.
***SIGN*** Monthly Volleyball
**[03:48] Hinata**
If we don't defeat him,
we can't play against Nekoma.
**[03:52] Kei**
Hey, hey.
**[03:53] Kei**
Shiratorizawa isn't the
only formidable opponent.
**[03:56] Suga**
Would the others be last year's best four?
**[03:59] Kei**
Yes, but there are other
formidable opponents this year.
***SIGN*** Wakutani Minami
**[04:06] Kei**
There's Wakutani Minami, which has
superior defense and coordination.
***SIGN*** Date Tech
**[04:11] Kei**
Date Tech is also known as
the Iron Wall, which says it all.
**[04:14] Kei**
That team has the highest
blocking rate in the country.
**[04:18] Kei**
If I recall,
**[04:20] ---**
we lost to Date Tech 2-0 in the
prefectural tournament this past March.
**[04:25] Kage**
* The match in March...*
* an iron wall of blockers...*
**[04:29] (Flashback) Suga**
Every single spike by Asahi got
blocked in this one match.
**[04:35] Kage**
*Right before Azumane-san came back...*
**[04:37] Kage**
* Was Sugawara-san talking about*
* the match against Date Tech?*
**[04:37] Kei (Overlap)**
I hear there's a second-year named
Aone who is particularly dangerous.
**[04:40] Kei**
Date Tech is as strong as
the other best four teams,
**[04:44] Kei**
but they lost their third-round match against
the eventual champions, Shiratorizawa,
**[04:48] ---**
and only made the best sixteen.
**[04:50] Kei**
That's why they weren't seeded this year.
**[04:53] Kei**
In other words, depending on the match-ups,
**[04:56] ---**
we might or might not play
against them in the first round.
**[05:00] Kei**
And the next one... Oh, yeah.
**[05:02] ---**
I heard we recently had a
practice match against them.
**[05:06] Kei**
The team's top attacker is their setter,
and of course he's also a supreme setter.
**[05:12] Kei**
Their team's ranks include perhaps the best
all-around player in the prefecture.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai
**[05:17] ---**
That would Oikawa Toru at Aoba Johsai.
**[05:21] Hinata**
The Great King!
**[05:23] Kei**
They were in last year's best four.
**[05:27] Kei**
Last, but not least...
***SIGN*** Shiratorizawa
**[05:30] Kei**
The defending champions, Shiratorizawa,
and their super-ace Ushijima Wakatoshi.
**[05:35] Kei**
That about sums it up.
**[05:37] Kei**
I'll save the details for later.
**[05:40] Both**
*Ukai-san, even though you're sloppy...*
**[05:44] Kei**
You guys are thinking something
disrespectful about me, aren't you?
**[05:48] Kei**
Anyway, those are the top four
contenders this year.
**[05:52] Kei**
However, if look up instead of straight ahead,
we could lose our footing.
**[05:57] Kei**
There's no team that enters
a tournament to lose.
**[06:01] Kei**
They all enter to win.
**[06:04] Kei**
While we frantically train,
**[06:06] Kei**
others will also be frantically training.
**[06:10] Kei**
Weak or strong, they're all aiming to win.
**[06:15] Kei**
Don't forget that.
**[06:16] Kei**
And...
**[06:18] Kei**
don't let them call us
"flightless crows" ever again.
**[06:21] Team**
Yeah.
**[06:23] Takeda**
I'm glad you're all still here.
**[06:25] ---**
Sorry I'm late.
**[06:27] Takeda**
The meeting went long. However...
**[06:30] Takeda**
Here it is. The match-ups for
the Inter-High preliminaries.
***SIGN*** Tokonami (4) Karasuno (5) Date Tech (6) Ouka (7)
**[06:35] Nishi**
If we win the first round,
**[06:37] Nishi**
we might play
**[06:39] Nishi**
against Date Tech, assuming they also win.
**[06:42] Tsuki**
But that's not all...
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai (1)
Senkawa Kita (2)
Ohmisaki (3)
Tokonami (4)

***SIGN*** Day One Day Two
**[06:49] Tanaka**
For real?
**[06:51] Hin/Kage**
*Date Tech and Seijoh...*
**[06:53] Kei**
Hey.
**[06:55] ---**
Don't forget what I just said.
**[06:57] Kei**
If all you do is look up...
**[06:59] Sawa**
We know.
***SIGN*** Tokonami
Karasuno
**[07:06] (Flashback) Ikejiri**
Which high school are
you going to, Sawamura?
**[07:08] (Flashback) Sawa**
Karasuno.
**[07:09] (Flashback) Ike**
Huh? Where?
**[07:11] (Flashback) Sawa**
You know, the school that was
in the spring tournament.
**[07:13] (Flashback) Ike**
Oh.
**[07:14] (Flashback) Sawa**
And you, Ikejiri?
**[07:16] (Flashback) Ike**
I'm going to Tokonami.
**[07:18] (Flashback) Ike**
Guess we're parting ways.
**[07:19] (Flashback) Sawa**
Guess so.
**[07:20] (Flashback) Ike**
Which means,
**[07:22] (Flashback) Ike**
if I continue playing
volleyball in high school...
**[07:25] (Flashback) Sawa**
You should continue.
**[07:26] (Flashback) Ike**
Maybe we'll play against each other.
**[07:29] (Flashback) Ike**
And if we do, I'll smash you to pieces.
***SIGN*** Tokonami
Karasuno
**[07:38] Sawa**
*I dare you.*
**[07:44] Chaya**
Ikejiri, let's get going.
**[07:46] Sawa**
The first round match...
**[07:49] Sawa**
I promise we'll win it.
***SIGN*** Class 3-4
**[08:09] Michimiya**
Sawamura.
**[08:12] Sawa**
What, Michimiya?
**[08:14] Michimiya**
I got the pep rally schedule
for the sports clubs.
**[08:16] Michimiya**
The volleyball club is up fifth.
**[08:18] Sawa**
Thank you.
**[08:19] Michimiya**
Do you have a speech ready, Captain?
**[08:21] Sawa**
Nope, I've got nothing.
**[08:23] Sawa**
The Inter-High preliminaries
are just around the corner.
**[08:25] Michi**
Yeah, you boys are really fired up lately.
**[08:29] Michi**
What was that team... the one you used
to do practice matches with...
**[08:32] Student**
Excuse me.
**[08:33] Sawa**
Nekoma?
**[08:34] Michi**
Right, right. You played
against them again, right?
**[08:37] Sawa**
How are the girls doing?
**[08:38] Sawa**
I've been out of touch because
we have separate gyms.
**[08:41] Michi**
We've been... well... the same.
**[08:44] Michi**
It's still hard to get anyone
to show up to morning practice.
**[08:48] Michi**
And I'm not good at being stern.
**[08:51] Michi**
We'll probably lose in
the first round again, anyway.
**[08:55] Michi**
*Crap.*
**[08:57] Sawa**
Michimiya, didn't you say,
"We'll definitely win next time"?
**[09:02] Sawa**
No matter how formidable and
unbeatable your opponent is,
**[09:07] Sawa**
you'll never win if you don't
believe you can.
**[09:11] Sawa**
Whoops, I didn't mean to preach.
Well, you see...
**[09:18] Michi**
I remember when you scolded me in
junior high. You said the same thing.
**[09:24] Michi**
It was right after we got crushed
in a practice match before the tournament.
**[09:27] Michi**
I figured we were destined
for failure in the real tournament.
**[09:31] (Flashback) Sawa**
Even if we're not confident that we'll win,
**[09:33] (Flashback) Sawa**
even if others tell us
we don't stand a chance, we...
**[09:38] Michi**
"We must never tell ourselves that."
**[09:42] Michi**
End quote.
**[09:44] Michi**
I'm sorry! I have a bad habit of
losing confidence before a tournament.
**[09:50] Sawa**
I hope I'm not being presumptuous,
**[09:53] Sawa**
but since you and I are both captains,
**[09:56] Sawa**
I'll pretend I didn't hear any of that.
**[10:01] Michi**
You're too easy on me.
**[10:05] Michi**
All right, I'm good.
**[10:09] Michi**
I'm good now. Thanks.
**[10:20] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Because I...
**[10:23] (Flashback) Oikawa**
want to pulverize my dear underclassman,
setter-on-setter, in an official match.
**[10:30] Studenta**
What's his problem?

I'm not as accurate as Kageyama,

so I'll give signals to say,
"This is what I'm doing next."

Oh.

Though you might not like
memorizing things...
**[11:43] Hinata**
I don't mind. Signals are cool.
I'll memorize them.

We have to use them in practice,
or they'll be useless in matches.

I'd be grateful if you could
practice them with me.

**[13:44] Asahi**
Let's do it.
**[13:46] Asahi**
Coach us.
**[13:48] Kei**
Hinata, you jump in as usual.
**[13:51] Hinata**
Yes.
**[13:54] Sawa**
Good job.
**[13:55] Team**
Good job.
**[13:59] Takeda**
Ukai-kun, you must be exhausted.
**[14:02] Takeda**
I appreciate you coming
daily at start time, but
**[14:06] Takeda**
I hope it's not affecting your job.
**[14:08] Kei**
Yeah, I've been working at the
store exclusively 'til now,
**[14:11] Kei**
but now I'm working on the farm as well,
**[14:15] Kei**
so I've been working the
evening shift at the store.
**[14:19] Kei**
It's our family business,
so I can't complain.
**[14:23] Takeda**
Thank you very much.
**[14:25] Takeda**
I'll bring you sake or something
the next time I visit.
**[14:26] Kei**
Seriously?
**[14:28] Takeda**
I didn't realize there were
so many attack patterns.
**[14:32] Takeda**
Are we using all of these?
**[14:34] Kei**
It depends.
**[14:36] Kei**
I need those guys to focus on the match.
**[14:37] Suga (Background)**
Hinata, A next.
**[14:39] Hinata (Background)**
Yes.
**[14:40] Kei**
I can't overwhelm them before the match.
**[14:48] Suga (Background)**
Nice, Hinata. Awesome, awesome.
**[14:49] Kei**
Hinata and Sugawara's
quicks are taking shape.
**[14:50] Hinata (Background)**
Thanks!
**[14:52] Hinata**
That toss was really good.
**[14:56] Tanaka**
Nice.
**[14:57] Kage**
Azumane-san, how was that toss?
Was it too high?! Too low?!
**[15:01] Kage**
How was it?!
**[15:03] Asahi**
Oh, um... yeah, it was fine.
**[15:05] Kage**
If you have any concerns, let me know,
no matter how small it is!
**[15:08] Kage**
I'll fix it.
**[15:09] Asahi**
I see... then... maybe a little higher?
**[15:14] Asahi**
And a little further away from the net.
**[15:17] Kage**
Understood.
**[15:18] Kage**
Ten more spikes, please.
**[15:20] Asahi**
What?
**[15:20] Kage (Background)**
Is that not enough? Then twenty spikes.
**[15:21] Tsuki**
There's no point in struggling this
much now right before the match.
**[15:23] Asahi**
No, that's not what I meant...
**[15:25] Suga**
Remember the timing
when you start running.
**[15:28] Hinata**
Right.
**[15:30] Kage**
Did you mean you want to
practice other patterns?
**[15:32] Sawa**
Hey, stragglers. Let's wrap it up.
**[15:34] All**
Right.
**[15:41] Suga**
Shimizu.
**[15:42] Suga**
Daichi says he's buying us pork buns.
**[15:46] Kiyoko**
Sorry. I have stuff to do.
**[15:49] Suga**
I see. Good job.
**[15:51] Kiyoko**
Good job.
**[15:54] Suga**
One per person.
**[15:56] Kage**
Thanks.
**[15:57] Hinata**
Thank you.
**[15:58] Nishi**
Daichi-san, thank you.
**[16:00] Suga**
Let's eat and then go home.
**[16:04] Tanaka**
Hey, Tsukishima.
**[16:06] Tanaka**
Daichi-san bought us pork buns.
**[16:08] Tsuki**
Oh, thanks.
**[16:09] Tanaka**
Isn't Yamaguchi with you?
**[16:11] Tsuki**
He said he has stuff to do.
***SIGN*** Shimada Mart

**[16:22] Yama**
I'm in the Karasuno Volleyball Club.
My name is Yamaguchi.
**[16:25] Shimada**
I knew you looked familiar.
**[16:28] Yama**
Um...
**[16:30] Yama**
Will you teach me how
to do a jump float serve?
**[16:36] Shimada**
Oh, yeah. I used it in that match.
**[16:41] Shima**
But the Inter-High preliminaries
start soon, right?
**[16:45] Shima**
It'll be hard to learn it in such short time.
**[16:48] Yama**
Probably.
**[16:50] Yama**
I probably won't be able to
play this time around, anyway.
**[16:53] Yama**
There's no way a first-year like
me can replace a third-year.
**[16:59] Yama**
But...
**[17:00] Yama**
I don't want to be the only
first-year who has to sit out.

Okay, that'll do it.
**[18:51] Takeda**
Just a second.
**[18:53] Takeda**
One more thing. Shimizu-san?
**[19:00] Kiyoko**
I'm not good at cheering, but...
**[19:07] Kiyoko**
Sensei, if you will?
**[19:09] Takeda**
Leave it to me.
**[19:12] Kiyoko**
Sensei, I can do the carrying.

Don't worry about it.

I'm getting fired up!
**[19:37] Nishi**
That's our Kiyoko-san! Great job!
**[19:40] Both**
All right! Let's get fired up!
**[19:42] Sawa**
Wait.
**[19:43] Sawa**
She's...
**[19:45] ---**
...not done.

anything like this for us before!
**[20:21] Hinata**
Even the captain?
**[20:23] Tsuki**
Those guys... are completely speechless.
**[20:26] Yama**
They usually never shut up.
**[20:29] Tsuki**
What the hell? You're all out of control.
**[20:32] Sawa**
We're going to win the first round for sure!
**[20:35] All**
Yeah.
**[20:37] Tanaka**
We have the strength of a hundred men!
**[20:52] Hinata**
*First one here! First one here!*
**[21:02] Hinata**
You bastard! Wait up, Kageyama!
**[21:09] Kage**
That makes... 31 wins and...
30 losses for me.
**[21:16] Kage**
And one draw.
**[21:19] Hinata**
That's not right.
**[21:20] Kage**
It is right. I won.
**[21:23] Hinata**
I've won 30 times,
and that was my 32nd loss.
**[21:29] Hinata**
Around this time last year,
you defeated my team.
**[21:38] Hinata**
We got crushed.

**[22:03] Hinata**
Even if takes me ten years,
or twenty years, I will.
**[22:09] Kage**
You plan on playing on the
same level as me, then.
**[22:16] Hinata**
Yeah, that's right.

Even if I'm the best in Japan,

**[22:21] Hinata**
*The whole world?*
**[22:25] Hinata**
O-Of course.
**[22:29] Kage**
And don't call me "King."
**[22:30] Hinata**
Ouch.

We have the strength of a hundred men!
**[00:55] Asahi/Sawa /Suga**
Hey.
**[01:08] Asahi**
You know, this is going to be our last—
**[01:11] Sawa/Suga**
Don't talk.
**[01:12] Asahi**
Huh?
**[01:13] Sawa**
You were going to say something
sentimental, weren't you?
**[01:16] Suga**
"This is going to be our last Inter-High,"
or something, right?
**[01:23] Asahi**
This is going to be our last Inter-High.
**[01:26] Sawa**
Yeah.
**[01:28] Suga**
We've sure been through a lot together.
**[01:33] Suga**
Don't talk like we're about to die.
**[01:37] Asahi**
What? That's not what I'm saying.
**[01:39] Asahi**
Last night, I was hoping we could gaze
**[01:42] Asahi**
at the stars in silence,
contemplating our last Inter-High
**[01:45] Asahi**
to raise our morale...
**[01:48] Asahi**
But you guys left without saying a word.
**[01:50] Sawa**
Shimizu's surprise raised our morale 120%.
**[01:54] Asahi**
Well... yeah... but...
***SIGN*** Miyagi Prefectural Karasuno High School

This is no time to be melodramatic.
**[02:07] Sawa**
We're going to win all of
the matches ahead of us.
**[02:09] Sawa**
That's all we need to think about.
**[02:11] Asahi**
Yeah.
**[02:13] Sawa**
We're counting on you, Ace.
**[02:17] Asahi**
I kinda get scared when Daichi is nice to me.
**[02:20] Suga**
Maybe it'll snow in summer next.
**[02:21] Sawa**
Then maybe I should be stern.
**[02:25] Voice**
Good morning.
**[02:29] Sawa**
Hey. I'll unlock the club room.

Let's go.

I wonder what the Karasuno team is like.
**[04:13] Shibuya**
I hope there aren't too many tall players.
**[04:16] Chaya**
Don't worry about it.
I hear they've been mediocre for a while.
**[04:20] Shibuya**
I think Shiratorizawa could win it.
***SIGN*** Ou
**[04:23] Voice**

***SIGN*** Tokonami
**[04:30] Voice**
I also hear Seijoh's first-years
improved super fast.
**[04:33] Guy**
Yeah, but still, they probably
won't get past Date Tech's blockers.
**[04:38] Guy**
I'm glad we're not in the A block.
**[04:41] Guy2**
Let's see, this block...
***SIGN*** Karasuno
**[04:45] Guy2**
Tori... Torino?
**[04:47] Guy**
I think that's "Karasuno."
**[04:49] Guy**
They were pretty strong not too long ago.
**[04:51] Guy2**
Oh, yeah, but not anymore.
**[04:53] Guy**
There's a saying about their team.
**[04:57] Guy2**
What's that?
***SIGN*** Karasuno High School Volleyball Club
**[04:58] Guy**
I'm pretty sure it's "Fallen
champions. Flightless crows."
**[05:08] Guy2**
Hey, shut up.
**[05:10] Tanaka**
Flightless, you say?
Is that what you said?
**[05:14] Sawa**
Come on. Let's go.
**[05:15] Sawa**
I'm sorry.
**[05:16] Guy**
No problem.
**[05:18] Sawa**
Don't squabble.
**[05:19] Tanaka**
Right...
**[05:27] Guy3**
They're in all black...
**[05:29] Guy4**
That one guy doesn't look
like a high schooler.
**[05:31] Guy5**
Hey, is that guy...
**[05:34] Guy5**
That's Karasuno's Azumane.
**[05:37] Guy6**
What? Who's that?
**[05:38] Guy7**
Don't you know?
**[05:40] ---**
I heard guys from Kita High
worked for him to extort money.
**[05:43] (Flashback) Asahi**
Go ahead. You do it, too.
**[05:45] (Flashback) Asahi**
There's a fight! The police!
Someone call the police!
**[05:49] Guy7**
I also heard he sold illegal
substances on the street.
**[05:52] Asahi**
*You'd better not refuse.*
**[05:54] (Flashback) Asahi**
You dropped your handkerchief.
**[05:56] Student**
I'm sorry.
**[05:57] Guy7**
And I heard he's been held
back like five times.
**[05:59] Guy8**
What? He's an adult, then.
**[06:02] Suga**
Oh, well. It's the usual gossip.
**[06:04] Sawa**
It's all because of how you look.
**[06:06] Asahi**
But I... like to have
sort of... a wild appearance.
**[06:12] Suga**
Come on. You wouldn't say that
if you were actually wild.
**[06:19] Nishi**
Who cares about how they view you?
**[06:22] Sawa/Suga**
Now this is what you call "wild."
**[06:26] Voice**
Hey, check it out.
**[06:28] Takeda**
The banner was quite effective.
**[06:30] Kiyoko**
Do you think so?
**[06:31] Takeda**
It worked a lot better
than that poem I wrote.
**[06:35] Guy1**
She's cute.
**[06:36] Guy2**
Go say hi. I dare you.
**[06:37] Guy1**
Should I? Should I try?
**[06:44] Kiyoko**
Stop that.
**[06:45] Tanaka**
Kiyoko-san...
**[06:46] Nishi**
...smacked us.
**[06:48] Guy1**
Hey, that little guy...
**[06:50] Guy1**
Isn't he Nishinoya from Chidoriyama?
**[06:52] Guy1**
He won the Overall Best Libero Award.
**[06:53] Guy1**
I'll be at my best today.
**[06:56] Guy**
Really?
**[06:57] Guy1**
That's not all.
**[06:59] Guy1**
That guy over there...
**[07:00] ---**
They say he's a genius setter.
**[07:02] Guy**
That's Kitagawa Daiichi's
King of the Court.
**[07:09] Guy**
What's he doing at Karasuno?
**[07:10] Guy1**
Dunno.
**[07:12] ---**
He wasn't very popular
in junior high, though.
**[07:16] Guy**
Then what about that guy there?
**[07:18] Guy**
That little guy.
**[07:19] ---**

**[07:23] Guy1**
No... I don't think so.

This gym is huge!
**[07:49] Hinata**
It smells like Air Salonpas...

That's the smell of tournaments.

**[08:32] Moniwa**
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
**[08:34] Sawa**
Er...
**[08:34] Moniwa**
Futakuchi, help me out.
**[08:36] Futakuchi**
Sure. Sorry about that.
**[08:39] Futakuchi**
This guy targets our opponent's ace
whenever he sees them.
**[08:43] Futakuchi**
So...
**[08:45] Futakuchi**
...you better be ready again.
**[08:48] Moniwa**
You guys are too rude.
**[08:50] Moniwa**
Why must you always do that?
**[08:53] Suga**
Wow... That was a little jarring.
**[08:57] Sawa**
Yeah.
**[08:58] Suga**
I'm amazed that you
stared back at him—
**[09:02] Asahi**
Th-That was nerve racking.
**[09:03] Nishi**
Why are you such a wimp off the court?
**[09:07] Tanaka**
Noya-san, you're too blunt.
**[09:09] Ikejiri**
Sawamura.
**[09:11] Ikejiri**
Long time no see.
**[09:12] Sawa**
Hey, Ikejiri.
**[09:13] Sawa**
Sorry, I'll catch up with
you guys in a minute.
**[09:15] All**
Sure.
**[09:18] Sawa**
Sure has been a long time.
**[09:20] Ike**
You seem... bigger.
**[09:23] Sawa**
Do I? I think I'm about the same height.
**[09:26] Ike**
That's not what I mean...
**[09:27] Sawa**
You mean I'm wider?
**[09:29] Ike**
No, that's not it.
**[09:32] Ike**
* His presence has changed.*
* His energy has changed.*
**[09:35] Ike**
*He's probably been training a lot harder.*
**[09:39] Ike**
I saw you at the entrance.
**[09:41] ---**
You were so intense, I couldn't
bring myself to say, "Hello."
**[09:44] Sawa**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[09:46] Sawa**
But then again, I guess some of
the guys on my team seem pretty intense.
**[09:50] Ike**
Nah, they actually look strong, too.
**[09:53] ---**
You, too, Sawamura.
**[09:54] Sawa**
You think so?
**[09:55] Ike**
Well... Our team is puny.
**[10:03] Sawa**
Ikejiri.
**[10:03] Ike**
I take that back.
**[10:05] Ike**
"Puny," "powerhouses,"
"fallen champions"... None of that matters.
**[10:09] Ike**
We'll smash our opponents to pieces.
**[10:19] Player1**
I'm getting nervous.
**[10:21] Player2**
I know, right?
**[10:22] ---**
Did you see our opponents' spikes
when they were practicing?
**[10:26] Player3**
They're not in last year's
best eight for nothing.
**[10:29] Player4**
I'm praying for the ball
not to come to me.
**[10:31] Player5**
I should've shown up for
morning practices more often.
**[10:37] Sawa**
* No matter how formidable and*
* unbeatable your opponent is,*
**[10:42] (Flashback) Sawa**
you'll never win if you don't
believe you can.
**[10:45] Michimiya**
Looking back... we had so much time.
**[10:49] Michimiya**
We could've trained so much more.
**[10:52] Michi**
We could've done so much more.
**[10:54] Player**
Yui, it's too late for all that.
**[10:56] Michi**
But those things don't matter anymore!
**[10:58] Michi**
The tournament whistle
will blow in 45 minutes.
**[11:02] Michi**
All we can do now is get warmed up,
**[11:05] Michi**
and fight to the end with all our might!
**[11:08] Michi**
And...
**[11:10] ---**
...let's win!
**[11:14] Michi**
Huddle up, everybody.
**[11:15] Michi**
Form a circle!
**[11:20] Player**
Come on, everybody.
**[11:25] Michi**
Karasuno, fight!
**[11:26] All**
Yeah!
**[11:34] Kage**
Hey, don't tell me your stomach
is upset again or something.
**[11:37] Hinata**
I-I'm tumbling with excitement!
**[11:39] Kage**
What?
**[11:40] Suga**
I think he meant,
"I'm trembling with excitement."
**[11:43] Tanaka**
No, he's just shaking with fear.
**[11:45] Nishi**
I know. You got intimidated
by Date Tech, didn't you?
**[11:48] Hinata**
O-Of course that's not not it...
**[11:50] Tanaka**
Which is it?
**[11:52] Kage**
*Damn it. He's overwhelmed again.*
**[11:55] Kage**
*I better do something about it quick.*
**[11:58] Kage**
* We can't have him repeat what*
* he did at the Seijoh match.*
**[12:03] Suga**
Asahi's cowardly, too, but
he doesn't seem nervous.
**[12:07] Asahi**
"Cowardly"?
**[12:09] Asahi**
I have a trick to calm my nerves.
**[12:12] Asahi**
I try and remember the scariest
experiences I've ever had.
**[12:15] Asahi**
The scarier the better.
Then I think to myself,
**[12:17] Asahi**
"Whatever happens, it can
never be as scary as that."
**[12:19] Asahi**
It puts me on an even keel.
**[12:21] Hinata**
*The scariest experiences I've ever had...*

Hinata?
**[12:38] Hinata**
I'm fine now.
**[12:39] Suga**
Hey, Hinata. What's the matter?
**[12:41] Nishi**
If you know how to calm your nerves, why were
you so devastated after we fought Date Tech?
**[12:47] Tanaka**
There you go again, Noya-san!
Rubbing salt and pepper in his wound.
**[12:51] Asahi**
Because I didn't have enough time to visualize.
**[12:55] Asahi**
Visualizing requires time and
concentration to be done properly.
**[12:59] Suga**
Sounds overcomplicated.
**[13:01] Sawa**
All right. Everybody ready?
**[13:04] Sawa**
It's our first match. Let's go warm up.
**[13:06] All**
Right!
**[13:08] Hinata**
*Finally, an official match...*
***SIGN*** Hold your ambition in front

Hey, don't get intimidated.
**[13:50] Hinata**
Back at you!

It's obviously you!

***SIGN*** Fly

All right. Let's start practicing.
**[14:09] All**
Right!
**[14:14] Irihata**
We need to watch them one last time.
**[14:16] Irihata**
Especially the powerful
quick of that first-year duo.
**[14:20] Mizoguchi**
Yes, sir.
**[14:25] Guy**
It's Aoba Johsai.
**[14:26] Guy2**
They're tall...
**[14:28] Guy**
They look strong.
**[14:30] Guy**
Speaking of, where's their setter?
**[14:34] Guy**
Wait, he's actually not here?
**[14:38] Iri**
Where's Oikawa?
**[14:40] Yahaba**
Oh. Um...
**[14:42] Mizoguchi**
What is it? Fess up.
**[14:44] Yahaba**
Girls from other schools
have him in their clutches.
**[14:49] Iri**
Iwaizumi.
**[14:50] Iwa**
Yes, sir.
**[14:54] Oikawa**
This is delicious. You really made this?
**[14:57] Fan**
Yes. I stayed up late last night making it.
**[14:59] Oikawa**
That's so nice. Thanks.
**[15:02] Fan**
It's nothing.
**[15:03] Fan1**
Oikawa-san, can I take a picture with you?
**[15:06] Oikawa**
A picture? Sure.
**[15:11] Fans**
Oikawa-san?
**[15:13] Oikawa**
Ouch. Not even the coach hits me...
**[15:22] Oikawa**
Sorry. Let's do the pictures another time.
**[15:30] Hinata**
Hey, it's Turnip Head.
**[15:33] Kindaichi**
Turnip Head? What's that?
**[15:35] Kunimi**
It's you. Who else?
**[15:36] Kin**
What?
**[15:38] Hinata**
Um...
**[15:38] Oikawa**
Yoohoo.
**[15:40] Oikawa**
Tobio-chan, Shrimp-chan.
How's the freak duo doing?
**[15:44] Hinata**
It's the Great King.
**[15:45] ---**
Ow!
**[15:46] Oikawa**
That hurt, Iwa-chan.
**[15:48] Oikawa**
Huh?
**[15:50] Oikawa**
They have a libero.
**[15:50] Nishi**
Give me another one.
**[15:51] Oikawa**
He wasn't there for the practice match.
**[15:54] Iwa**
And that big guy wasn't there, either.
**[15:57] Iri**
Oh?
**[15:58] Mizo**
And their coach is new, too, right?
**[16:03] Kei**
Hinata, don't dilly-dally.
**[16:05] Hinata**
Right.
**[16:06] Iwa**
New players and a new coach.
**[16:09] Iwa**
I wonder how Karasuno has changed.
**[16:13] Takeda**
It's finally happening.
**[16:15] Takeda**
Teams will compete in this enormous place,
**[16:18] ---**
in front of a huge crowd.
**[16:21] Takeda**
I think I'm more nervous than our players.
**[16:24] Takeda**
That's exactly why
**[16:27] ---**
we need to do everything we can for them.
**[16:30] Kiyoko**
Right.
**[16:32] Futakuchi**
One, two!
**[16:36] Asahi**
*Date Tech...*
**[16:39] Nishi**
Asahi-san.
**[16:41] Nishi**
I'm worried about Date Tech, too,
**[16:43] ---**
but I'm not going to lose.
**[16:45] Nishi**
I'm only thinking about winning. So...
**[16:50] Nishi**
Let's focus on our opponents now.
**[16:53] Asahi**
Yeah.
**[16:55] Ref**
Captains.

Everyone's nervous, everyone's anxious,
**[18:19] Kei**
everyone's not their usual selves.
**[18:20] Kei**
But you have to overcome
those things before they do.
**[18:23] Kei**
Score a big victory first,
and find your groove.
**[18:26] All**
Right.
**[18:27] Takeda**
I'm mean what I'm going to say,
and it's no empty compliment.
**[18:31] Takeda**
You are all strong.
**[18:33] Takeda**
Karasuno is strong.
**[18:34] Takeda**
Let's show everyone in the gym
how crows fly.
**[18:40] Nishi**
Take-chan, good one!
**[18:42] Tanaka**
They say that inauspicious line
everywhere we go.
**[18:47] ---**
"Fallen champions. Flightless ravens."
**[18:50] Takeda**
But let's show them,
**[18:52] ---**
"Look! We, Karasuno, are the
champions of old. We are winners."
**[18:55] All**
Yeah.
**[18:58] Takeda**
Was that too poetic? Are you creeped out?
**[19:00] Sawa**
It was fine. Fine.
**[19:02] Hinata**
What does he mean by champions of old?
**[19:03] Kage**
How am I supposed to know?
**[19:06] Suga**
We aren't really, but the nuance seems to be
that we were strong in the past.
**[19:09] Sawa**
Hey, let's get going.
**[19:12] Sawa**
Karasuno, fight.
**[19:14] All**
Yeah.

Relax, and score your first point.

Don't worry. Your training won't betray you.
***SIGN*** Tokonami

**[19:25] Team**
Yeah.
**[19:28] Tamagawa**
You mean #10 is their middle blocker?
**[19:31] Tamagawa**
But he can't be more than 160 cm tall.
**[19:34] Haga**
Why are taller guys sitting on the bench?
**[19:38] Iwa**
Their opponents are confused,
**[19:39] ---**
but you can't blame them.
**[19:41] Iwa**
I mean, a middle blocker
competes with the tallest players.
**[19:45] Guy**
Little #10 is a starter?
**[19:48] Guy2**
He's not their libero, either.
**[19:49] Kindaichi**
Those who underestimate him
have another thing coming.
**[19:53] Iwa**
Spoken from experience.
**[19:54] Kindaichi**
I'll grind them to dust next time.
**[19:59] Hinata**
Bring it on.
**[20:01] Ike**
Komaki, nice serve.
**[20:04] Sawa**
Asahi.
**[20:04] Asahi**
Got it!
**[20:06] Kage**
*The first score... who do I choose?*
**[20:06] Nishi**

*We'll freak out our opponents*

*and boost our morale.*
**[20:13] Kage**
*The first to score has to be...*
**[20:14] Kage**
*Him.*
**[20:15] Tanaka**
This one's mine!
**[20:23] Sawa**
Nice one, Tana—
**[20:24] Tanaka**
Yeah!
**[20:26] Sawa**
Nice opening—
**[20:28] Sawa**
Shut up! That's too much!
**[20:32] Guy**
Karasuno's already in trouble.
**[20:34] Guy1**
That was fast. How dumb.
**[20:36] Komaki**
Don't worry. Don't worry.
**[20:38] ---**
Let's turn the tables on them.
**[20:40] Haga**
Relax. We'll score back.
**[20:43] Sawa**
Tanaka, nice serve.
**[20:44] Guy**
It's that baldie from earlier.
**[20:46] Sakurai**
Got it!
**[20:47] Voice**
Nice receive.
**[20:48] Haga**
Ikejiri-san.
**[20:55] Guy**
Amazing, he saved it.
**[20:56] Guy1**
That libero is fast.
**[20:58] Nishi**
*Damn it. Couldn't get it to the setter.*
**[21:01] Sawa**
Asahi.
**[21:02] Ike**
Here it comes. Let's get ready.
**[21:04] Nishi**
This one's yours, Ace.
**[21:12] Guy**
That old guy is awesome.
**[21:14] Guy1**
I heard he's been held back five times.
**[21:17] Guy2**
Are you serious? Is that even allowed?
**[21:19] Guy3**
Maybe he can't get out.
**[21:20] Suga**
Asahi, don't let it get to you.
**[21:22] Iwa**
Wow, that's some power.
**[21:25] Kindaichi**
Yes.
**[21:27] Kei**
Did you see the power of our left side?
**[21:30] Kei**
But we have other weapons, too...
**[21:38] Kage**
Shut up. I know.
**[21:41] Sawa**
Tanaka, hit another nice serve.
**[21:43] Tama**
Got it!
**[21:45] (Flashback) Takeda**
You are all strong. Karasuno is strong.

OP
**[00:10] Hin/Kage**
Yes.
**[00:11] Tanaka**
Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
**[00:13] Komaki**
So close. It's all good, Ikejiri.
**[00:15] Ikejiri**
Good effort.
**[00:19] Mizoguchi**
Karasuno isn't using it.
**[00:21] Mizoguchi**
Their usual quick without looking at the toss...
**[00:25] Irihata**
But, although it's still
rough around the edges,
**[00:29] Irihata**
they've learned to do normal quicks.
**[00:32] Irihata**
Although they're still lousy at it,
**[00:34] Irihata**
they can spot openings in the court.
**[00:38] Irihata**
They must've had good practice matches
in what little time they've had.
**[00:43] Irihata**
They're improving their existing moves,
adding new ones,
**[00:46] Irihata**
and creating the best attacks
for each match.
**[00:51] Irihata**
Before they were a dangerous team
that relied solely on brute force,
**[00:56] Irihata**
but now they have knowledge.
***SIGN*** Polish and Refine
**[01:01] Mizoguchi**
But they still make a lot
of common mistakes.
**[01:04] Irihata**
It's impossible to improve
receiving overnight.
***SIGN*** Tokonami Karasuno
**[01:08] Ikejiri**
Nice serve, Chaya.
**[01:10] Tamagawa**
One more.
**[01:13] Tanaka**
Noya-san.
**[01:23] Karasuno**
All right.
**[01:25] Kindaichi**
Looks like they're going
to win the first set in no time.
**[01:27] Iwaizumi**
That libero is a pesky one.
**[01:30] Iwaizumi**
Now that the dude with the goatee is playing,
**[01:33] Iwaizumi**
Kageyama has even more options.
**[01:38] Komaki**
Don't worry.
**[01:39] Sakurai**
Come on. Let's turn it around with this one.
**[01:41] All**
Yeah.
**[01:43] Sawa**
One more.
**[01:46] Sawa**
Hinata, give us a nice serve.
**[01:48] Hinata**
Right!
**[01:50] Tanaka**
Let's score with this one.
**[01:51] Hinata**
Yeah.

* When we were about to totally*
* give up, you said something...*
**[03:46] (Flashback) Sawa**
They're in junior high, too, just like us.
**[03:48] (Flashback) ---**
They're not unbeatable.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Sawa**
We'll never win if we don't believe we can.
**[03:56] (Flashback) Ikejiri**
You never get discouraged, Sawamura.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Sawa**
Of course I'm not discouraged.
**[04:01] (Flashback) ---**
This is our last tournament.
**[04:03] (Flashback) Ikejiri**
Our opponents are junior high students, too.
**[04:05] (Flashback) ---**
That's right.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Member**
We won our first match,
for the first time ever.
**[04:10] (Flashback) Member2**
All right. We can win the second match
for the first time ever, too.
**[04:12] (Flashback) All**
Yeah.

All right.
**[04:17] Ikejiri**
However...
***SIGN*** Izumidate Taihaku
**[04:19] Ikejiri**
...we couldn't instantly become a strong team.
**[04:29] (Flashback) Ikejiri**
Sorry, Sawamura.
**[04:33] (Flashback) Sawa**
Sorry.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Sawa**

***SIGN*** Izumidate Taihaku
**[04:44] Ikejiri**
*We weren't surprised that we lost.*
**[04:47] Ikejiri**
*We weren't all that angry about it, either.*
**[04:51] Ikejiri**
*In fact, we felt relieved*
**[04:54] ---**
* because we wouldn't*
* have tiring practices anymore.*
**[05:01] Ikejiri**
*But...*

* ...you were the only one*

They're on a whole other level.
**[06:00] (Flashback) Sawa**
Rankings have nothing to do with it!
**[06:06] Ikejiri**
"We'll never win if we don't believe we can."
**[06:14] Ikejiri**
Oh, um...
**[06:16] ---**
I was just quoting a friend.
**[06:19] Komaki**
It's starting.
**[06:20] Both**
Yeah.
**[06:23] Ikejiri**
*I don't have the charisma to convince them.*
**[06:26] Ikejiri**
*That was stupid.*
**[06:27] Ikejiri**
*That was so lame...*
**[06:33] Sawa**
Nice serve, Kageyama.
**[06:39] Kindaichi**
A service ace...
**[06:40] Iwaizumi**
Karasuno has stepped up their game
even more after winning the first set.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Tokonami

*Damn it.*
**[07:03] Komaki**
Ikejiri.
**[07:05] Ikejiri**

**[07:21] Ikejiri**
All right.
**[07:22] All**
All right.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Tokonami
**[07:25] Chaya**
Maybe we shouldn't be
so happy about one lousy point.
**[07:27] Komaki**
It's fine.
**[07:28] Komaki**
One point can be the
beginning of a scoring streak.
**[07:32] Ikejiri**
Everyone...
**[07:34] Tamagawa**
"We'll never win if we don't
believe we can," right?
**[07:36] Chaya**
We'll hang in there.
**[07:38] Komaki**
We might be weak, but we're stubborn!
**[07:41] Komaki**
Let's go win this!

Yeah.

Aya.
**[07:49] Player2**

**[08:12] (Flashback) Sawa**
even if others tell us we
don't stand a chance, we...

*"We must never tell ourselves that."*
**[08:26] Player**
Nice serve.
**[08:28] Player1**
Aya.
**[08:32] All**
Score!
**[08:34] Michimiya**
Don't worry about it. That was a close one.
**[08:36] Aya**
You could've saved that one, Yui.
**[08:39] Michimiya**
Huh?
**[08:40] Aya**
I'm sorry. I've lost so many of them.
**[08:46] Michimiya**
Save the apologies for later.
**[08:50] Michimiya**
Get up. It's not over yet.
**[08:56] Michimiya**
All right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Tokonami
**[09:01] Ikejiri**
*It's Karasuno's match point.*
**[09:04] Ikejiri**
*It'll probably be a cinch for them.*

*But for us...*
**[09:11] Komaki**
*One more point...*
**[09:13] Haga**
*It's not over.*

All right.
**[10:00] Nishi**
Damn it!
**[10:03] Nishi**
I'll save the next one for sure!
**[10:06] Sawa**
One more! Let's turn it around.
**[10:08] Sawa**
Yeah!
**[10:12] Ikejiri**
*They're serious.*
**[10:16] Ikejiri**
*They're taking us seriously.*
**[10:19] Ikejiri**
* Everyone in the gym thought*
* we'd be pushovers, but not anymore.*

Hey. Quit spacing out, airhead.
**[10:54] Kage**
Let's go—
**[10:54] Hinata**
We won.
**[10:56] Kage**
Yeah.
**[10:58] Hinata**
Do we play... another match?
**[11:03] Kage**
Yeah, because we won.

I mean, it was impossible for the
other team to make a comeback.
**[11:40] Kindaichi**
They should've conserved their energy—
**[11:42] Oikawa**
I'm glad they didn't.
**[11:43] Oikawa**
We got to see them be serious.
**[11:45] Oikawa**
Although we didn't get
to see the freak quick.
**[11:49] Hanamaki**
The match on that court's done, too.
Date Tech crushed their opponents.
**[11:53] Kindaichi**
So it'll be Karasuno versus Date Tech.
Who will win?
**[11:58] ---**
Let's go.
**[11:59] Iwaizumi**
It won't matter if we don't win.

**[12:11] Michimiya**
Stop crying already.
**[12:14] Aya**
They aimed serves at me.
**[12:17] Aya**
They scored so many points off of me.
**[12:24] Michimiya**
And we kept the ball in play.
That's volleyball.
**[12:26] Michimiya**
They were better at it than us.
That's why we lost.
**[12:29] Michimiya**
It is not any single player's fault.
**[12:33] Player**
Captain, Sensei wants to have a word.
**[12:35] Michimiya**
Okay. I'll be back, okay?
**[12:43] Player**
Michimiya-senpai is amazing.
**[12:47] Player**
She's practiced the hardest of all.
**[12:48] Player**
You'd think she'd be the most upset.
**[12:51] Player**
No...
**[12:53] Player**
She's trying to stay composed,
since she's our captain.
**[12:58] Player**
She's waiting until she's out of sight.
**[13:23] Ikejiri**
* I did all I could.*
* I never skipped practice.*
**[13:29] Ikejiri**
* The day I saw that*
* tournament on TV, I said,*
**[13:32] Ikejiri**
* half-jokingly,*
* "I'm Japan's future champion."*
**[13:38] Ikejiri**
* But as soon as we started conditioning,*
* I began to lose steam.*
**[13:45] Ikejiri**
*And now it's all over.*
**[13:47] Ikejiri**
*That was fast. It's still only June.*
**[13:51] Michimiya**
* I should've... I should've*
* trained a little harder.*
**[13:56] Ikejiri**
* Running, conditioning... I should*
* have done it all a little harder.*
**[14:01] Michimiya**
*If I were a better captain...*
**[14:04] Ikejiri**
*If only I could've been a fiercer receiver.*
**[14:08] Michimiya**
*If only I had gone one step further.*
**[14:12] Ikejiri**
*Maybe then, I could've played more volleyball.*
**[14:24] Ikejiri**
Sawamura!
**[14:28] Sawa**

**[14:39] Ikejiri**
Win! Then win some more!
**[14:42] Ikejiri**
Win for us, too.
**[14:54] Sawa**
Yeah. You got it.

*If all this were a work of fiction...*
**[15:17] Ikejiri**
* The guys who go to nationals*

**[15:20] Ikejiri**
*and the rest of us would just be extras.*

*But, regardless...*

*We got to play...*

*...volleyball.*
**[16:53] Guy**
Karasuno was amazing.
**[16:55] Guy2**
Especially that little #10! He was unreal.
**[16:57] Guy**
I know, right?
**[16:59] Guy2**
His quicks were right on the money.
**[17:04] Hinata**
Wh-What?
**[17:06] Hinata**
I'm happy. What's wrong with that?
**[17:08] Hinata**
No one's ever said stuff
like that about me before.
**[17:13] Kage**
I didn't say anything.
**[17:15] Kage**
I'm glad you're getting all the attention.
**[17:19] Kage**
The more our opponents
are wary of you,
**[17:23] Kage**
the more they'll bring out
the best in you.
**[17:26] Hinata**
Yeah, I don't really
understand what you mean,
**[17:29] Hinata**
but you're scary when you're smiling.
**[17:34] Hinata**
Ouch, ouch...
**[17:34] Kei**
Yeah, he's right.
**[17:36] Kei**
"That little #10" gets a big reaction.
**[17:41] Kei**
The bigger, the better.
**[17:43] Kei**
The more Hinata shines,
the more he blinds the defense.
**[17:48] Hinata**
Oh.
**[17:49] Kei**
So, the starting lineup for the next match
will be the same as the first.
**[18:00] Sawa**
Our next match is at 1:30 PM.
**[18:02] ---**
Keep yourselves warm.
**[18:03] Kei**
Have a light lunch.
**[18:06] Kei**
Don't fill yourselves up.
**[18:07] All**
Right!
**[18:10] Hinata**
Next up is no-eyebrows guy's
Iron Wall school.
**[18:14] Kage**
It's Date Tech.
**[18:15] Hinata**
I know that.
**[18:18] Kage**
Date Tech defeated us in March.
**[18:22] Kage**
That match made Azumane-san want to quit.
**[18:26] Hinata**
Asahi-san...
**[18:28] (Flashback) Suga**
Every single spike by Asahi got
blocked in this one match...
**[18:34] Hinata**
They blocked all of Asahi-san's spikes.
**[18:38] Suga**
Hinata, Kageyama.
**[18:41] Suga**
Got a minute?
**[18:46] Sawa**
Asahi.
**[18:49] Sawa**
It's time to go.
**[18:53] Suga**
I'm counting on you.
**[18:58] Suga**
Date Tech is a powerful opponent.
**[19:00] Suga**
Their blocking devastated us three months ago.
**[19:05] Suga**
But this time, we have the best decoy ever.
**[19:11] Suga**
You opened the way for Hinata.
**[19:15] ---**
So for Asahi...
**[19:17] Suga**
Please open the way for the ace!
**[19:28] Hinata**
All right. We'll win the second match, too!
**[19:40] Cheer**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!

You're getting intimidated again.

Date Tech's scary. I'm glad
I'm not playing against them.
**[20:05] Guy1**
I felt so sorry for the spiker
up against Date Tech in the last match.

He was unable to do anything, literally.

We're receiving first,
from this side of the court.
**[20:30] Kei**
Got it.
**[20:31] Sawa**
Time for warm ups! Bumps first!
**[20:33] Team**
Yeah.

Here goes. Keep it in play.
**[20:36] Team**
Right!

* Though our team has made*

Perfection itself! Except for the name.

The name is perfect, too!
**[21:20] Hinata**
Teach me! Teach me the Again version, too!
**[21:23] Kage**
How's that different from the regular one?
**[21:25] Sawa**
What was that?
**[21:26] Sawa**
Just bump normally.
**[21:27] Suga**
You're showing off again.
**[21:28] Asahi**
Hey, Nishinoya, you're gonna
make Daichi mad again.
**[21:32] Nishi**
All right. There's nothing to worry about.
**[21:36] Nishi**
All of you, keep your eyes forward.

Wow. He restored the team's confidence.

Yeah.

*He's a little guy, but incredibly charismatic.*
**[22:05] Kei**
*The libero is not just the guardian.*

**[02:51] Oiwake**
All right, listen up.
**[02:53] Oiwake**
I admit, Karasuno's quicks were amazing.
**[02:56] Oiwake**
But they were amazing only
because of that guy's height.
**[03:00] Oiwake**
He jumps high, but the quicks
themselves are nothing extraordinary.
**[03:04] Oiwake**
Don't get mesmerized by him.
**[03:06] Oiwake**
Shut him down completely,
like you did their ace!
**[03:10] Oiwake**
Show them the iron wall again.
**[03:15] Team**
Right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno
**[03:17] Kei**
Gauging from their first match,
**[03:19] Kei**
they'll start off with a powerful serve.
**[03:22] Kei**
The serve breaks your formation,
then they block your returns.
**[03:25] Kei**
Date Tech's strategy is to attack
those who can't keep up.
**[03:30] Kei**
So, for the first serve,
**[03:31] Kei**
make sure your receive is solid.
**[03:33] Team**
Yeah.
**[03:35] Kei**
You know what to do. Right, Kageyama?
**[03:37] Kage**
Yes.
**[03:39] Kei**
All right.
**[03:40] Kei**
Now, go tear down the iron wall!
**[03:43] Team**
Yes, sir!
**[03:45] Sawa**
Karasuno...
**[03:47] Sawa**
Fight!
**[03:48] Team**
Yeah.
**[03:52] Mizoguchi**
Oh? I guess Karasuno's ace starts in the back.
**[03:56] Irihata**
Yeah. They're starting with their
best receiving formation.
**[04:01] Irihata**
But Date Tech's formation is the
same as in their first match.
**[04:10] Kiyoko**
*Do your best.*
**[04:14] Nishi**
Bring it on.
**[04:15] Tanaka**
Let's do this.
**[04:15] Moniwa**
Kamasaki, nice serve.
**[04:16] Sasaya**
Nice serve.
**[04:19] Nishi**
Daichi-san.
**[04:21] Kage**
Nice receive.
**[04:24] Oiwake**
*His form is clean.*
**[04:25] ---**
*I can't tell where he's going to toss.*
**[04:29] ---**
*But...*
**[04:41] Tanaka**
All right. Nice eye, Hinata.
**[04:47] ---**
I thought their blockers were one step behind.
**[04:52] Takeda**
Is that what you call read blocking?
**[04:54] Takeda**
Where they jump after they see the toss?
**[04:56] Kei**
Yeah.
**[04:58] Kei**
All of our opponents so far
**[05:00] ---**
mostly used commit blocks. They jumped
after predicting who may get the toss.
**[05:04] Kei**
But Date Tech has perfected the read block.
**[05:07] Kei**
They jump as soon as the toss goes up.
**[05:10] Kei**
In other words...
**[05:13] Kei**
They're not easy to trick with decoys.
**[05:17] Kei**
That would leave their blocks
one step behind, if not for their #7.
**[05:21] Kei**
He quickly makes up the difference.
**[05:23] Kei**
He's not only tall, but fast as well.
**[05:25] Takeda**
H-He's scary.
**[05:27] Mizoguchi**
Those read blocks
are going to be tricky.
**[05:30] Mizoguchi**
I wonder how Karasuno's
going to deal with them.
**[05:32] Irihata**
We'll see.
**[05:33] ---**
They haven't played their trump card yet.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[05:40] Sawa**
Kageyama, nice serve.
**[05:41] Hinata**
Nice serve. Let's score.
**[05:48] Kage**
I hit it to the libero.
**[05:50] Irihata**
His serve is as powerful as ever.
**[05:53] Irihata**
He'll be scary when he
learns how to control it.
**[06:00] Guy1**
He saved it.
**[06:00] Guy2**
Amazing.
**[06:02] Nishi**
Ryu, sorry. Cover.
**[06:03] Tanaka**
All right.
**[06:04] Asahi**
Back!
**[06:05] Oiwake**
*A back attack?*
**[06:06] ---**
*They didn't use that in the last match.*
**[06:09] Tanaka**
Asahi-san.
**[06:17] Nishi**
Damn.
**[06:19] Kei**
Don't worry about it.
Don't worry! Switch it up.
**[06:22] Nishi**
I'm sorry, Asahi-san!
I'll save the next one.
**[06:26] Asahi**
Yeah. I'm counting on you,
but I'll score next time.
**[06:29] Futakuchi**
Hey, what was that?
He's supposed to get dejected.
**[06:33] Moniwa**
Quit being mean-spirited, Futakuchi.
**[06:35] Futakuchi**
Ouch.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[06:46] Tanaka**

All right.
**[06:50] Moniwa**
Net violation...
**[06:52] Moniwa**
Don't worry about it.
**[06:54] Mizoguchi**
Date Tech touched the net.
**[06:57] Mizoguchi**
That was a close call for Karasuno.
**[07:00] Irihata**
But they sure are fast.
**[07:02] Irihata**
Two blockers are immediately ready,
no matter how fast the attack.
**[07:06] Irihata**
This is going to be a tough one.
**[07:10] Moniwa**
Nice receive.
**[07:12] Moniwa**
Futakuchi.
**[07:15] Asahi**
I'm open!
**[07:16] Sawa**
Asahi.
**[07:24] Takeda**
Was that out?
**[07:25] Takeda**
Was that our point?
**[07:27] Kei**
Nice, Azumane.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[07:34] Mizoguchi**
Karasuno is two points ahead,
**[07:38] Mizoguchi**
but they're barely avoiding being shut down.
**[07:41] Mizoguchi**
They're not scoring with ease.
**[07:45] Irihata**
They're barely getting by the blockers.
And if that blocking keeps up,
**[07:48] ---**
Nice receive.
**[07:49] Irihata**
they'll lose momentum quickly.
**[07:52] Moniwa**
Futakuchi.
**[07:54] Tanaka**
Nice one touch, Hinata.
**[07:55] Futakuchi**
For real?
**[07:57] Nishi**
Free ball.
**[07:59] Oiwake**
*When they think they're about to score,*
**[08:01] Oiwake**
*we score instead.*
**[08:05] Oiwake**
* That breaks their spirit,*
* and boosts our morale.*
**[08:09] Oiwake**
* It's the ultimate defense,*
* the fastest offense.*
**[08:13] Oiwake**
*That's what you call...*
**[08:18] Oiwake**
*...blocking.*
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
**[08:24] Obara**
Nice block.
**[08:26] Moniwa**
Nice, Aone.
**[08:29] Irihata**
A high, fast, and expansive wall...
**[08:36] Kei**
Truly...
**[08:39] Kei**
...an iron wall.
**[08:44] Hinata**
Damn it.
**[08:46] Kage**
Don't worry about it. On to the next.
**[08:48] Hinata**
Huh?
**[08:49] Kage**
We'll definitely score with the next one.
**[08:52] Hinata**
Definitely?
**[08:54] ---**
Are we doing it?
**[08:55] Hinata**
Are we gonna zoom? Are we?
**[08:58] Kage**
It's about time.
**[09:00] Kage**
Do your best jump, go as fast as you can,
**[09:04] Kage**
and fly.
**[09:05] Kage**
I'll get the ball...
**[09:08] ---**
...to you.
**[09:28] Oiwake**
* Karasuno's fastest attacker*
* is probably that #10.*
**[09:32] Oiwake**
* He knows his quicks are*
* up against our wall,*
**[09:37] Oiwake**
*so why doesn't he appear nervous?*
**[09:42] (Flashback) Kei**
When we faced Nekoma,
**[09:44] (Flashback) Kei**
our freak quicks got blocked. Why is that?
**[09:47] (Flashback) Hinata**
I know. Because Inuoka was awesome.
**[09:50] (Flashback) Kei**
Well... sure, let's assume that's true.
**[09:54] (Flashback) Kage**
It's because Nekoma's middle blocker
got accustomed to Hinata's moves.
**[09:58] (Flashback) Kei**
That's right. He got used to it.
**[10:01] (Flashback) Kei**
But I also think it's because Nekoma
had a really smart player.
**[10:06] (Flashback) Kei**
It was
**[10:08] (Flashback) ---**
probably the pudding-head.
**[10:10] (Flashback) Hinata**
You mean Kenma?
**[10:12] (Flashback) Inuoka**
Kenma-san's caught a cold.
**[10:14] (Flashback) Kozume**
Shut up, Inuoka. I don't have a cold.
**[10:17] (Flashback) Kei**
To be honest, I never thought
they'd regroup that fast.
**[10:20] (Flashback) Kei**
But fast or slow, any team will
get used to our freak quick.
**[10:27] (Flashback) Kei**
Your quicks are powerful weapons,
but they aren't invincible.
**[10:32] (Flashback) Kei**
What matters is...
**[10:34] Kage**
*...how we use them.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech

**[10:47] Kage**
*Your read block won't be fast enough.*
**[11:01] Guy**
What was that?
**[11:04] Hinata**
All right!
**[11:05] Kage**
Good.
**[11:06] Iwaizumi**
And there you have it. The monster quick!
**[11:08] Mizoguchi**
It sure is powerful.
**[11:10] Irihata**
It's scary. It's awful.
**[11:13] Oikawa**
That genius gets on my nerves...
**[11:16] Coach**
What a reckless toss.
**[11:18] Coach**
He made a random toss to thwart
Aone by brute force.
**[11:22] Oiwake**
But the spiker was there to hit it.
**[11:25] Coach**
He must've spiked it by sheer luck.
**[11:28] Oiwake**
That #10...
**[11:30] Oiwake**
Do you know who he is?
**[11:32] Coach**
No. I never saw him in
junior high tournaments, either.
**[11:36] Oiwake**
*Was it luck or by design?*
**[11:39] Nishi**
We're counting on you, Tsukishima.
**[11:41] Tsuki**
Yes.
**[11:42] Tsuki**
King. Toss a little away from the net.
**[11:45] ---**
I don't want to get blocked.
**[11:51] Tsuki**
Huh?
**[11:51] Kage**
I said, "Okay."
**[11:53] Tsuki**
You clearly didn't.
**[11:55] Tsuki**
You don't want to take orders
from peasants. Is that it?
**[11:58] Kage**
Huh?
**[12:00] Tanaka**
You guys, stop it. Don't you ever learn?
**[12:02] Mizoguchi**
Kageyama finally used that quick.
**[12:05] Irihata**
Date Tech must be confused right now.
**[12:08] Irihata**
You won't see a quick like that
anywhere else in the whole world.
**[12:13] Irihata**
It's a scary thing to have to anticipate.
**[12:17] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[12:18] Kage (Overlap)**
Airhead! Hinata, you lousy airhead!
**[12:18] Irihata**
But, other than that,
they need a lot of work.
**[12:20] Asahi (Overlap)**
Don't worry. Don't worry.
**[12:21] Hinata**
Noya-san, I'm sorry.
**[12:22] Nishi**
Leave it to me.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[12:25] Moniwa**
Aone, nice serve.
**[12:31] Team**
All right.
**[12:32] Futakuchi**
That one was an ordinary toss.
**[12:35] Moniwa**
Was the last one just luck?
**[12:37] Moniwa**
Or is #10 the only one who can do it?
**[12:39] Sakunami**
Good job.
**[12:43] Hinata**
Nice, Tsukishima. One more.
**[12:45] Yama**
Tsukki, nice.
**[12:52] Kamasaki**
All right. If they score, we score back.
**[12:55] Moniwa**
Nice, Kamasaki.
**[12:56] Sasaya**
Way to go, Kamachi.
**[12:59] Tanaka**
We'll score back.
**[13:00] Nishi**
All right.
***SIGN*** Karasuno 6 - 4 Date Tech

**[13:13] Mizoguchi**
The point spread isn't budging.
**[13:15] Irihata**
Look at their rotation.
**[13:17] Irihata**
Karasuno's #10 is up front again.
**[13:21] Oiwake**
There he is, #10...
**[13:23] Coach**
Kageyama hasn't done that
super-fast toss since.
**[13:27] Coach**
I just remembered.
He was in Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High.
**[13:31] Coach**
I saw him do a similar toss,
but it was too fast for the spikers.
**[13:38] Oiwake**
That toss makes me think he's
reverted to a bad junior high habit.
**[13:43] Oiwake**
But...
**[13:45] ---**
That #10 spiked it.
**[13:50] Oiwake**
He spiked it effortlessly.
**[13:53] Moniwa**
Futakuchi.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[13:56] Kamasaki**
Nice, Futakuchi.
**[13:57] Guy**
You can't keep Date Tech down for long.
**[14:00] Guy2**
As soon as Karasuno's #10 rotated to the front,
**[14:03] Guy2**
Date Tech's awesome blocker #7 is also up front.
**[14:08] Guy2**
It's the iron wall versus the insanely-fast quick!
**[14:13] Kei**
* We only used the freak quick once.*
* They must think we just got lucky.*
**[14:17] Kage**
Let's do another one.
**[14:19] Hinata**
Yeah.
**[14:24] Sawa**
Let serve! Move up!
**[14:26] Guy**
He saved it.
**[14:27] Guy**
But a quick would be impossible.
**[14:31] Guy**
Who can he toss to—
**[14:37] Kage**
All right.
**[14:39] Sawa (Overlap)**
Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
**[14:40] Coach**
That toss again.
**[14:41] Coach**
And this time from the back of the court!
**[14:46] Oiwake**
It wasn't... luck?
**[14:52] Guy2**
And Date Tech calls a time out.
**[14:55] Guy**
Karasuno's #10 is amazing.
**[14:57] ---**
Who can hit a toss like that?
**[15:00] Iwaizumi**
The setter is the amazing one, for
getting his toss perfectly to the spiker.
**[15:06] Hanamaki**
Who would expect a incredible
technique like that?
**[15:09] Hanamaki**
We certainly didn't, at first.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[15:12] Oiwake**
If those quicks are intentional,
our read blocks will be too slow.
**[15:16] Oiwake**
And yet, if we abandon that,
they'll start pummeling us.
**[15:21] Oiwake**
When #10 might be about to spike,
mark him instead of the toss.
**[15:27] Oiwake**
Jump when you can anticipate
the toss's trajectory.
**[15:29] Oiwake**
But it's also possible those spikes
were just lucky.
**[15:32] Oiwake**
Remain calm, and be ready for anything.
**[15:34] Team**
Right!
**[15:37] Sasaya**
I've never seen a quick like that, ever.
**[15:39] Moniwa**
I wonder if #10 is the only guy who can do it.
**[15:43] Moniwa**
If that wasn't by luck, then he's a monster.
**[15:47] Kamasaki**
Sure, those quicks were jaw-dropping,
**[15:49] Kamasaki**
but their ordinary quicks
are nothing to sneeze at.
**[15:53] Futakuchi**
Anyway, all we have to do is stop #10.
**[15:58] Kamasaki**
You're taking the matter too lightly.
**[16:00] Futakuchi**
Better than being too serious.
That's never popular with girls.
**[16:03] Kamasaki**
What did you say?
**[16:05] Moniwa**
Stop them, Aone.
**[16:06] Kamasaki**
You bastard.
**[16:09] Guy1**
But then again, all they
have to do is stop #10.
**[16:14] Guy1**
#10's the only guy drawing attention.
**[16:16] Guy1**
Against the others, Date Tech's
blockers are definitely winning.
**[16:19] Guy2**
For sure.
**[16:21] Moniwa**
Stop that #10, no matter what.
**[16:23] Team**
Yeah.
**[16:26] Oiwake**
*We must stop #10...*
**[16:28] ---**
*That #10...*
**[16:30] All**
*That #10...*
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
**[16:32] Mon/Fut**
*That #10...*
**[16:34] All**
*That #10...*
**[16:39] (Flashback) Kei**
"That little #10" gets a big reaction.
**[16:45] (Flashback) Kei**
The bigger, the better.
**[16:47] Hinata (Overlap)**
Bring it!
**[16:48] Kei**
*The more Hinata shines,*
**[16:51] ---**
*the more the blockers are blinded.*
**[16:57] Shimada**
We're late! What if we missed the match?
**[17:00] Taki**
Who knew it would be so packed?
**[17:02] Michimiya**
Hurry, hurry.
**[17:03] Taki/Shim**
Huh?
**[17:04] Michimiya**
Oh, good. The boys' second match is still on.
**[17:07] Aya**
Awesome! They're beating Date Tech.
**[17:09] Hinata**
Bring it on!
**[17:15] Futakuchi**
Damn, that was fast.
**[17:17] Futakuchi**
That was pretty close though, Aone.
**[17:20] Michimiya**
What was that?
**[17:22] Member2**
A quick?
**[17:23] Member3**
He's a first-year, isn't he?
**[17:25] Aya**
Wasn't that little boy's jump super high?
**[17:30] Shimada**
What are you smirking about?
**[17:32] Suga**
Good job, Hinata.
**[17:33] Michimiya**
Oh?
**[17:34] Suga**
Way to go! Give us another one!
**[17:38] Yamaguchi**
Nice serve, one more!
**[17:38] Michimiya**
Sugawara is on the bench...
**[17:42] Asahi**
Nishinoya.
**[17:44] Tanaka**
B!
**[17:45] Hinata**
Send me the toss.
**[17:46] Futaguchi**
*Two attackers.*
**[17:47] Moniwa**
*Who's gonna spike?*
**[17:49] Futakuchi**
*He's gonna jump.*
**[17:52] Futakuchi**
*He didn't jump?*
**[17:58] Aya**
That was an ordinary quick.
**[18:00] Member2**
They can change the
speed of their tosses?
**[18:04] (Flashback) Sawa**
Well, we actually have some rather
interesting first-years...
**[18:08] (Flashback) Sawa**
If those guys start playing their part,
**[18:10] (Flashback) Sawa**
I feel Karasuno is going
to evolve explosively.
**[18:13] (Flashback) ---**
That's what I think.
**[18:16] Michimiya**
Amazing.
**[18:18] Sasaya**
Damn, what's with that #10?
**[18:22] Moniwa**
Hey, hey, hey.
**[18:24] Moniwa**
Don't get overwhelmed.
**[18:26] Moniwa**
Our attacks are scoring, too.
**[18:29] Moniwa**
Sure, that #10's a shocker,
**[18:31] ---**
but you've ground all
kinds of spikers into the dust!
**[18:34] Moniwa**
Even Karasuno's ace!
**[18:36] Moniwa**
You can stop them again.
**[18:39] Team**
Right!
**[18:40] Futakuchi**
Don't say "you." Say "we."
**[18:44] Moniwa**
Futakuchi, I'm sorry I thought
**[18:47] ---**
you were just a damned cocky
underclassman all this time.
**[18:49] Moniwa**
You were thinking that?
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
**[19:12] Takeda**
He jumped twice!
**[19:13] Takeda**
He's so tall, he can reach above the net
with just a slight jump.
**[19:18] Kei**
He's not just tall. His arms are long,
and his shoulders are broad.
**[19:21] ---**
Those are all powerful weapons.
**[19:23] Kei**
But that's not all.
**[19:26] Kei**
He stays calm to avoid tunnel vision,
**[19:29] ---**
and he has the will to block no matter what.
**[19:32] Kei**
He has it all.
That's why he blocks so well.
**[19:37] Shimada**
Hey, that block was bad news.
**[19:39] Taki**
Blocks like that can
change a match's momentum.
**[19:42] Taki**
If we don't score the next one,
Date Tech could break our rhythm.
**[19:46] Moniwa**
Let's stop them again.
**[19:48] All**
Yeah.
**[19:49] Yama**
Stay calm!
**[19:51] Suga**
One more!

*Clearing the path...*

*Yes.*

*This is the view.*
**[21:06] ---**
Yes!

That was the pipe Nekoma used.

You're the one who scored, Asahi-san!

Nice, Asahi-san.
**[21:30] Nishi**
Be proud of it. Come on.
**[21:32] (Flashback) Suga**
Please open the way for the ace!
**[21:38] Suga**
Yes!
**[21:40] Kage**
What's the matter?
**[21:42] Hinata**
It wasn't me that scored...
**[21:45] Hinata**
I didn't even spike the ball, but...
**[21:50] (Flashback) Aone**
#10!
**[21:54] Hinata**
That...
**[21:57] ---**
...felt incredible.
**[22:02] Kage**
Being the best decoy ever
is as cool as being the ace.
**[22:09] Hinata**
"The best decoy ever."
**[22:14] Kei**
All our secret weapons are out in the open.
**[22:22] Kei**
The moment of truth is near.

If this give-and-take continues,
**[00:20] Moniwa (Overlap)**
Nice receive.
**[00:21] Sawa (Overlap)**
#7's coming.
**[00:23] Sasaya (Overlap)**
Right.
**[00:24] Shimada**
Karasuno could win the first set.
**[00:27] Shimada**
But to totally get ahead...
**[00:30] Shimada**
That's it!
**[00:31] Taki**
Nice one touch!
**[00:32] Kei**
Counter!
**[00:34] Nishi**
Free ball.
**[00:36] Futakuchi**
*C quick!*
**[00:37] Futakuchi**
Don't underestimate us!
**[00:41] Takeda**
That's the first time two blockers
went up against Hinata-kun's quick.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[00:51] Michimiya**
Amazing.
**[00:53] Michimiya**
It's actually our set point against Date Tech.
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Episode 18: Guarding Your Back
**[02:34] Shimada**
Nice receive.
**[02:35] Taki**
Karasuno's on a roll.
**[02:37] Hinata**
Give me the toss!
**[02:48] All**
All right.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Date Tech
**[02:57] Guy**
Wow. Karasuno won it, for real.
**[03:01] Mizoguchi**
As expected, Karasuno's scary
when they get on a roll.
**[03:05] Mizoguchi**
They might take the second set
if they keep it up.
**[03:09] Mizoguchi (Overlap)**
Kunimi, you dolt!
Move your feet, or you can sit out!
**[03:10] Irihata**
But I doubt we'll see
a repeat of that first set.
**[03:15] Irihata**
Because Date Tech's giant, #7, will no longer
be surprised by those quicks.
**[03:16] Moniwa (Overlap)**
That was a close one, Aone.
**[03:18] Moniwa (Overlap)**
We'll take the next one. We will.
**[03:24] Takeda**
That tall #7 and lastly that #6
**[03:28] Takeda**
managed to touch Hinata-kun's quick.
**[03:31] Kei**
Yeah, it's amazing.
**[03:34] Kei**
* The cornerstone of our offense*
* right now is that freak quick.*
**[03:38] Kei**
* We can't let them start*
* blocking it, like Nekoma did.*
***SIGN*** Tanaka Kageyama Tsukishima
***SIGN*** Hinata Sawamura Azumane
**[03:43] Kei**
So, for the second set, I'm going to move
our starting rotation two spots forward.
**[03:49] Kei**
In the first set
**[03:51] Kei**
our rotation directly matched
up Hinata and no-eyebrows #7,
**[03:56] Kei**
so we'll shift that over
two places to start.
**[03:59] Takeda**
I see. That means Hinata-kun
**[04:02] Takeda**
won't get marked by #7
like he was in the first set.
**[04:09] Kei**
But we can't completely avoid that.
**[04:12] Kei**
All we're doing is shifting players around.
**[04:14] Kei**
And... While Hinata won't get marked as much,
**[04:18] Kei**
the other players will get marked instead.
**[04:22] Asahi**
We can't let Hinata
shoulder all of our burden.
**[04:25] Asahi**
When Hinata's at his best,
we're at our best.
**[04:29] Asahi**
I'll do my part as the ace.
**[04:34] Tan/Nish**
Asahi-san, you're awesome!
**[04:36] Sawa**
You've grown so much, Asahi.
**[04:37] Asahi**
What are you, my relative?
**[04:39] Hinata**
Me, too!
**[04:41] Hinata**
I can't do a back row attack like you, Asahi-san.
**[04:46] Hinata**
So I'll score as many points
as I can while I'm up front.
**[04:49] Hinata**
And I'll be the best decoy ever!
**[04:54] Asahi**
Yeah, I'm counting on you.
**[04:56] Asahi**
You can count on me, too.
**[04:58] Hinata**
Right!

Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
**[05:05] Michimiya**
The second set is about to start.
**[05:08] Asahi**
I don't envy you, Tsukishima.
**[05:11] Asahi**
You'll be facing #7 a lot more
than in the first set.
**[05:16] Tsuki**
Nah. No one expects me
to beat their #7 head-on.
**[05:23] Tsuki**
It's Hinata's job to steal the spotlight.
**[05:27] Tsuki**
It's my job to keep trouble from happening
**[05:30] Tsuki**
while Hinata's rotated into the back row.
**[05:33] Tsuki**
It's the usual situation, isn't it?
**[05:36] Tsuki**
Besides, that blocker has already
locked on to you, Azumane-san.
**[05:44] Sawa**
Tanaka, nice serve.
**[05:47] Moniwa (Overlap)**
Nice receive.
**[05:48] Coach**
Karasuno moved their rotation forward.
**[05:49] Futakuchi (Overlap)**
Left.
**[05:50] Coach**
I wonder if they're trying to avoid
a match-up between their #10 and Aone?
**[05:59] Oiwake**
It doesn't matter what the match-up is.
**[06:01] Oiwake**
The spiker in front must be blocked.
That's all there is to it.
**[06:04] Futakuchi**
We're usually cocky problem children...
**[06:08] Futakuchi**
So at least during our matches,
we should act like good underclassmen.
**[06:14] Sawa**
Kageyama.
**[06:21] All**
All right.
**[06:22] Asahi**
*He was lured in for a moment by Hinata's movements,*
**[06:24] Asahi**
*but he's already on the left...*
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[06:31] Sawa**
Nice, Tanaka.
**[06:32] Kage**
Nice receive.
**[06:33] Asahi**
I'm open!
**[06:34] Moniwa**
Here comes #3.
**[06:39] Taki**
Well, they're basically locked
on to our guy with the long hair.
**[06:44] Taki**
Our Shrimpy is the only
player who can do a quick
**[06:46] ---**
when the receive goes awry.
**[06:48] Obara**
Nice, Aone.
**[06:49] Moniwa**
Yeah! Let's block the next one, too.
**[06:54] Michimiya**
Nice, Sawamura.
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[06:58] All**
All right.
**[07:01] Guy**
Karasuno's #10 is up front now.
**[07:01] Hinata (Overlap)**
Bring it.
**[07:06] Tanaka**
It's up, nice.
**[07:07] Tanaka**
Kageyama, cover.
**[07:10] Hinata**
Bring it here.
**[07:14] Kamasaki**
He's so damned fast when he's right in front of you.
**[07:15] Sawa (Overlap)**
Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
**[07:17] Kamasaki**
What a monster.
**[07:27] All**
All right.
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[07:30] Mizoguchi**
Even after Karasuno shifted their rotation,
**[07:32] Mizuguchi**
their surprise quicks are still
surprising them, don't you think?
**[07:37] Irihata**
But as time goes on,
they'll begin to lose effectiveness.
**[07:40] Irihata**
If Date Tech wins this set
and takes it to the third set,
**[07:45] Irihata**
Karasuno will find themselves
at an immediate disadvantage.
**[07:48] Irihata**
Karasuno must find ways to battle Date Tech's #7
**[07:51] Irihata**
while their #10 is in the back row.
**[07:55] Irihata**
The deciding factor might be
how they deal
**[07:59] Irihata**
with the iron wall
without #10 to act as decoy.
**[08:03] Sawa**
Hinata, nice serve.
**[08:05] Guy1**
I heard Karasuno's #10's quicks are amazing.
**[08:06] Moniwa (Overlap)**
Nice receive.
**[08:07] Futakuchi (Overlap)**
I'm open!
**[08:08] Guy2**
Which one is he?
**[08:09] Guy3**
Oh, he's in the back row right now.
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[08:12] Asahi**
Hey, Tsukishima.
**[08:14] ---**
You said it's your job to keep trouble
**[08:16] Asahi**
from happening while Hinata's
rotated into the back.
**[08:21] Asahi**
The fact that you're doing that against
Date Tech is plenty impressive.
**[08:25] Asahi**
It's true that our offense relies on
Hinata and Kageyama,
**[08:31] Asahi**
but it's also essential
to augment their attacks.
**[08:36] Asahi**
Just as spikers can't score
without strong receivers to help,
**[08:42] Asahi**
playing our parts now
will let us win the match.
**[08:52] Tanaka**
Sorry. Kageyama, cover.
**[08:53] Kage**
Got it!
**[08:54] Asahi**
* The balls come to the ace*
* when the going gets tough.*
**[08:58] Asahi**
I'm open!
**[08:59] Kage**
Azumane-san.
**[09:00] Moniwa**
Coming from the left.
**[09:02] Asahi**
*So what if it's an iron wall?*
**[09:07] Asahi**
*I'll blast through it.*
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
**[09:15] All**
All right.
**[09:19] Guy1**
Date Tech's blocking is awesome.
**[09:21] Hinata**
Asahi-san, one more.
**[09:22] Hinata**
Although he's only middle blocker,
it's like #10 is their real ace.
**[09:23] Suga (Overlap)**
Don't worry, don't worry.
**[09:27] Irihata**
*#7 is the best blocker in the iron wall.*
**[09:31] Irihata**
* Things will get rough for his team*
* if he doesn't rotate to the rear soon.*
**[09:33] Moniwa (Overlap)**
Let's do another one.
**[09:37] Irihata**
*Will Karasuno's ace hold up?*
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[09:46] Tanaka**
Daichi-san, nice receive.
**[09:48] Kage**
Got it!
**[09:48] Moniwa**
#3, #3!
**[09:52] Asahi**
*I won't let them break me again.*
**[09:56] Moniwa**
One touch!
**[09:56] Oiwake/Coach**
Counter!
**[09:59] Takeda**
Karasuno...
**[10:02] Takeda**
...has a wall, too!
**[10:05] All**
All right.
**[10:06] Guy1**
Whoa! They blocked the quick.
**[10:08] Guy2**
After all, Karasuno's #3 and #11
are their two tallest players.
**[10:08] Asahi (Overlap)**
Nice block, Tsukishima.
**[10:10] Tsuki**
Thanks.
**[10:12] Shimada**
All right! Block point!
**[10:15] Taki**
Good. If Date Tech scores,
their huge #7 rotates to the rear.
**[10:21] Moniwa**
Next, next.
**[10:22] Futakuchi**
One more!
**[10:23] Michimiya**
Yes!
**[10:24] Aya**
Keep gaining on them!
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[10:28] Scorer (Vo)**
Whoa, he's up. Karasuno's #10.
**[10:31] Hinata**
All right.
**[10:33] Taki**
Only six more points to go.
**[10:35] ---**
Get 'em while you're up front, Shrimpy.
**[10:41] Nishi**
#12, #12!
**[10:43] Tanaka**
It's up. Kageyama, cover.
**[10:45] Kageyama**
Right!
**[10:46] Hinata**
Bring it.
**[10:49] Guy3**
He's awesome.
**[10:52] ---**
Usually they'd let the left handle
that one, but he used a quick instead.
**[10:56] Kamasaki**
Take that.
**[10:58] Kamasaki**
Yeah! We're going to stall them.
**[11:01] Sasaya**
Nice, Kamachi!
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[11:05] Takeda**
We just can't seem to pull ahead.
**[11:08] Kei**
Persevere. Go at it carefully.
**[11:12] Tanaka**
Nice, Asahi-san.
**[11:14] Nishi**
Free ball.
**[11:15] Hinata**
Give me the toss!
**[11:18] Kamasaki**
*Crap...*
**[11:22] All**
All right.
**[11:22] Ennoshita**
Nice kill!
**[11:23] Suga**
One more!
**[11:25] Michimiya**
One more to match point.
Go! One more point!
**[11:29] Ennoshita**
Nice receive.
**[11:30] Shimada**
Date Tech's big guy is in the rear,
and Shrimpy's still up front.
**[11:30] Tanaka (Overlap)**
Nice receive, Noya-san.
**[11:32] Nishi (Overlap)**
Free ball.
**[11:37] Shimada**
This is our chance to gain on them.
**[11:40] Futakuchi**
Kamasaki-san, you're hiding in Aone's shadow.
**[11:43] ---**
Are you intimidated or something?
**[11:45] Kamasaki**
Huh?
**[11:46] Kamasaki**
Cut the crap. All of us are...
**[11:51] Kamasaki**
...part of the iron wall!
**[11:55] All**
All right!
**[11:57] Nishi**
*Damn it.*
**[11:58] Sawa**
We'll score the next one.
**[12:00] Asahi**
Sorry.
**[12:01] Takeda**
And now it's #7's turn up front...
**[12:02] Sakunami (Overlap)**
We're counting on you.
**[12:05] Kei**
Don't worry.
**[12:06] Kei**
The freak quick will still work.
**[12:09] Kei**
*But...*
**[12:12] Sawa**
Nishinoya.
**[12:13] Tanaka**
Nice receive.
**[12:14] Hinata**
Bring it.
**[12:20] All**
All right.
**[12:20] Shimada**
That was too close for comfort!
It barely got sucked in.
**[12:23] Taki**
At least it's match point now.
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[12:26] Michimiya**
Go! One point!
**[12:28] Hinata**
All right.
**[12:32] Moniwa**
You can block the next one. I know it!
**[12:35] Moniwa**
We've only just begun.
**[12:39] Guy1**
It's Karasuno's match point,
**[12:41] Guy1**
but #10's in the back now.
**[12:45] Kei**
* And Date Tech's strongest*
* blockers are up front...*
**[12:50] Tanaka**
Nice serve.
**[12:55] Hinata**
S-Sorry!
**[12:55] Moniwa (Overlap)**
Good eye!
**[12:57] Hinata**
I'm sorry.
**[12:57] Futakuchi (Overlap)**
Lucky, lucky!
**[12:58] Sawa**
It's okay. Don't worry about it.
**[12:59] Kage (Overlap)**
Hinata, you lousy airhead!
**[12:59] Sawa**
You know what you did wrong,
so don't beat yourself up.
**[13:01] Tanaka (Overlap)**
Don't, you idiot.
**[13:03] Hinata**
Right!
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[13:04] Guy1**
It's deuce if Date Tech scores two more points.
**[13:07] Guy1**
That's a very possible,
given their current rotation.
**[13:10] Guy2**
If it's deuce while #10's in the back,
Karasuno will be in trouble.
**[13:15] Kinoshita**
We'll get the next one. Don't worry.
**[13:17] Yama**
Date Tech's #7 is amazing.
**[13:19] Hinata**
Yeah. I thought he had me
blocked that last time.
**[13:23] Hinata**
But at least we have
Asahi-san playing up front.
**[13:24] Asahi (Overlap)**
Bring it, one point!
**[13:28] Suga**
*Asahi.*
**[13:30] Michimiya**
*Azumane.*
**[13:32] Hinata**
The ace is there. We'll be okay.
**[13:53] Kage**
Tsukishima.
**[13:56] Sasaya**
Nice receive.
**[13:57] Sawa (Overlap)**
Here comes a quick.
**[13:57] Shimada**
We're doing well, but they're wising up.
**[13:58] Asahi (Overlap)**
#7! #7!
**[14:02] Nishi**
Cover! Cover!
**[14:03] Kage**
Azumane-san.
**[14:04] Asahi**
Yeah.
**[14:05] Asahi**
* What kind of ace am I,*
* if I can't score this last point?*
**[14:08] Moniwa**
We've defeated this spiker once already.
**[14:11] Moniwa**
We're no Iron Wall if we can't do it again!
**[14:14] Sakunami**
Moniwa-san, nice block.
**[14:17] Sawa**
*Crap, the rear is wide open.*
**[14:24] Audience**
He saved it.
**[14:25] Nishi**
Cover for me!
**[14:26] Asahi**
* Spike it. Keep spiking as*
* long as tosses keep coming.*
**[14:29] Asahi**
Left! One more!
**[14:31] Kage**
Azumane-san.
**[14:32] Taki**
That toss is too close to the net.
**[14:37] Shimada**
A joust.
**[14:38] Taki**
Get 'em, long-haired guy.
**[14:58] Nishi**
*It's too far...*
**[15:08] ---**
His foot!?
**[15:10] Michimiya**
Awesome.
**[15:12] Kei**
He's incredible.
**[15:13] All**
One more!
**[15:14] Asahi**
Nishinoya, nice save!
**[15:16] Asahi**
*Get back! Get back in position!*
**[15:19] Asahi**
*I need enough distance to get up to speed.*
**[15:22] Asahi**
*I have to jump with all my might.*
**[15:24] Asahi**
*As many times as it takes!*
**[15:27] Asahi**
*Don't lose concentration.*
**[15:28] Asahi**
*Don't stop running.*
**[15:30] Asahi**
*If I lose momentum, the ball will drop.*
**[15:33] Nishi**
Kageyama, cover.
**[15:34] Kage**
Right!
**[15:36] Suga**
One more!
**[15:37] Suga**
One more!
**[15:39] Asahi**
I won't stop 'til I score.
**[15:43] (Flashback) Suga**
Asahi spikes best when
he's slightly away from the net...
**[15:47] Kage**
...and has a high toss.
**[15:50] Takeda**
Kageyama-kun's tossing to him again?
**[15:53] Kei**
It's fine.
**[15:54] Takeda**
Huh?
**[15:55] Kei**
This is the best choice right now, Sensei.
**[16:01] Suga**
Go, Asahi!
**[16:03] Sawa**
Blast through, Asahi!
**[16:04] Shima/Taki**
Go!
**[16:05] Team**
Go!
**[16:06] Hinata**
Go!
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[16:55] Team**
All right!
**[16:57] Team**
We did it!
**[17:00] Shima/Taki**
All right.
**[17:02] Team**
They did it! They did it!
**[17:06] Moniwa**
Let's line up.
**[17:09] All**
Thank you very much.
***SIGN*** Karasuno
**[17:32] Nishinoya**
You did it, Asahi-san.
**[17:33] Hinata**
Asahi-san. You went,
"Boom!" past Date Tech's blockers.
**[17:37] Hinata**
And they went like, "Argh!"
**[17:39] Hinata**
And I was like, "Ka-blam!"
**[17:41] Tsuki**
Try speaking actual Japanese.
**[17:45] Asahi**
I'm the ace,
**[17:48] ---**
but you guys are heroes.
**[17:52] Hinata**
Heroes!
**[17:54] Nishi**
I like that.
**[18:01] Moniwa**
You did great against
their freakish quicks.
**[18:06] Aone**
This time—
**[18:06] Aone**
Spring Tournament!
**[18:07] Futakuchi**
That's right, Moniwa-san.
**[18:09] ---**
We'll get our revenge in the
Spring Tournament prelims!
**[18:13] Futakuchi**
The prelims are in September, right?
**[18:14] Futakuchi**
We'll go back and start
strategizing right away.
**[18:16] Futakuchi**
We'll beat Karasuno if we play
them in the Spring Tournament preli—
**[18:19] Moniwa**
The third-years will be gone
by the Spring Tournament.
**[18:23] Futakuchi**
Why? Because you can't be bothered with us anymore?!
**[18:26] Moniwa**
What are you talking about?
**[18:29] ---**
I've told you this over and over.
**[18:31] Moniwa**
The third-years' season ends
after the Inter-High.
**[18:34] Futakuchi**
But...
**[18:35] Moniwa**
You guys are strong.
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
**[18:38] Moniwa**
They say we're a powerhouse,
**[18:41] Moniwa**
but they've also said our
third-years are duds.
**[18:45] Moniwa**
They said we're a bad crop.
**[18:47] Moniwa**
We were able to maintain our reputation
as the Iron Wall because of you guys.
**[18:53] Moniwa**
That's why, by the time
you guys are third-years,
**[18:55] Moniwa**
you have to make it
to the Spring Tournament.
**[18:57] Moniwa**
You'll have a new team and a new strategy.
**[19:00] Moniwa**
We lost in the preliminaries
this year, but next year...
**[19:03] Moniwa**
Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa, and Karasuno...
**[19:06] Moniwa**
You'll conquer them all,
and go on to nationals!
**[19:09] Futakuchi**
But...
**[19:10] Moniwa**
Understood?
**[19:14] Futakuchi**
Yeah.
**[19:15] Kamasaki**
We can't hear you, Futakuchi.
**[19:20] Futakuchi/Aone**
Yeah!
**[19:23] Michimiya**
Sawamura! Sugawara! Azumane!
**[19:26] Michimiya**
Congrats on winning your second match.
**[19:28] Sawa**
Michimiya! I thought I heard some girls behind us.
**[19:32] Suga**
You didn't notice them?
**[19:34] Tana/Nishi**
Aya-senpai.
**[19:37] Michimiya**
You got your revenge.
**[19:44] Sawa**
Yeah.
**[19:45] ---**
And we're gonna keep on winning.
**[19:48] Takeda**
Um, Ukai-kun.
**[19:50] Takeda**
That last toss.
**[19:52] ---**
What did you mean when you said
it was the best choice right now?
**[19:56] Kei**
When a receive goes awry and
we can't make an offensive play,
**[20:00] Kei**
the last ball always goes left,
to the ace's position.
**[20:05] Kei**
I wanted him to know what it feels like
to be the last resort
**[20:09] Sawa (Overlap)**
Thank you very much.
**[20:10] Kei**
and to wrestle a point away from that wall.
**[20:11] All (Overlap)**
Thank you very much.
**[20:14] Takeda**
I see.
**[20:15] ---**
That'll boost his confidence
for our next match.
**[20:19] Kei**
From what I've heard, Azumane
got beaten pretty badly by them before.
**[20:25] Kei**
But I'm sure he's fine now.
**[20:28] Kei**
He fought tenaciously against them,
even without our decoy.
**[20:32] Kei**
It's also a matter of pride when
the ball gets tossed to the spiker.
**[20:39] Kei**
Because it means he's earned
the setter's trust.
**[20:44] Kei**
He's had two setters put their trust in him.
**[20:47] Kei**
That's got to give him confidence.
**[20:51] Shimada**
I've gotta admit, Date Tech's
blocking was downright scary.
**[20:54] Taki**
Right?
**[20:56] Taki**
I wonder how they decided when
it was appropriate to use
**[21:00] Taki**
the first-year duo's crazy quicks.
**[21:03] Shimada**
Come to think of it, they didn't
use any signals during the rally.
**[21:09] Hinata**
They didn't notice our signals, huh?
**[21:12] Kage**
Yeah. They should be effective for a while.
**[21:15] Tsuki**
You're a couple of meatheads,
so I'm amazed you came up with them.
**[21:19] Hinata**
I-It wasn't us that thought them up.
**[21:22] Tsuki**
Oh, no wonder. Who did the thinking for you?
**[21:26] Hinata**
Sugawara-san.
**[21:29] Suga**
We did it. We got our revenge.
**[21:32] Sawa**
Yeah.
**[21:34] Suga**
But then again...
**[21:37] Suga**
I do wish my tosses could've
played a part in the victory.
**[21:43] Suga**
Er, sorry about that.
Please don't repeat that.
**[21:47] Sawa**
I'm glad.
**[21:50] Sawa**
I'm glad you still want to fight.
**[21:55] Sawa**
Tomorrow's another match. We'll win again.
**[21:58] Suga**
Yeah.

What? Again?
**[00:24] Azumane**
That's his fourth aced serve in a row.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Omisaki
**[00:28] Coach**
His power goes without saying,
but that control is pretty nasty, too.
**[00:33] Hinata**
But if they can do something
about that serve...
**[00:36] Suga**
It's true that his serves are scary,

but Oikawa, as a setter,
is completely unknown to us.

They've got a very smooth transition.

Apparently those two have been on
the same team since grade school.
**[03:08] Kage**
They're linked, both mentally and physically.
**[03:11] Coach**
I don't really think the second-year setter's
level was lower in the practice match.
**[03:18] Coach**
I mean, they're in Seijoh.
**[03:20] Takeda**
Right.

TV is TV!
***SIGN*** Shiratorizawa Academy vs. Oginnami High School
**[05:22] Lady**
First, in the I Block,
**[05:24] ---**
we have the ace player, Ushijima Wakatoshi-kun,
**[05:26] ---**
leading the reigning champions at
Shiratorizawa Academy in their first game.
**[05:29] Lady**
They played against Oginnami High School,
winning 25 to 10 in their first set,
***SIGN*** Inter-High School National Sporting Competition Volleyball Tournament

vs. Oginnami High School
**[05:34] Lady**
and 25 to 6 in their second set,
**[05:37] ---**
not giving their opponents the
slightest chance against them.
**[05:40] Lady**
They showed everyone why
they're the reigning champions.
**[05:43] Azuma**
25 to 6?
**[05:45] Lady**
Will they be able to make it
to nationals once again
**[05:49] Lady**
or will a team appear that can stop them?
**[05:53] Lady**
It'll be worth seeing.

That's the gym we played at today!
***SIGN*** Inter-High School National Volleyball Tournament Prefectural Preliminaries A Block
**[06:02] Lady**
A player you should definitely watch out
for is Aoba Johsai High School's
**[06:05] ---**
team captain, Oikawa Toru-kun.
**[06:07] Lady**
His dashing good looks draw in female fans,
**[06:10] Lady**
so he's a player with both skill
and popularity to spare.
**[06:10] Girls**
*Oikawa-san! So cute!*

Tomorrow, going up against Aoba Johsai
**[06:18] Lady**
is a team that sped to an unbelievable
straight-set victory against Date Tech
**[06:21] Lady**
—who were expected to place
in the tournament's top eight—
**[06:24] Lady**
the powerhouse, Karasuno High School.
**[06:27] Three**
We're gonna be on!
**[06:32] Lady**
We asked him what he thought about
his opponent, Karasuno High School,
**[06:35] ---**
who he'll be facing in the third match.
***SIGN*** Q: What do you think of your opponents for the third match?
**[06:38] Oikawa**
*They're a great team.*
**[06:40] Oikawa**
*I hope...*
**[06:42] Oikawa**
*...they go for broke.*
**[06:44] Lady**
There'll definitely be more
heated matches tomorrow.
**[06:46] Lady**
We wish them the best.
**[06:48] Lady**
Next is the weather.
**[06:50] Lady**
We have Komata-san reporting
from Sendai Station.
**[06:53] Komata**
Hello, Komata here.
**[06:53] Old**
Th-There was a glimpse of your
match at the very beginning!
**[06:57] Old**
You all looked very cool!
**[06:59] Sawa**
Sensei, thank you.
**[07:02] Old**
Oh, it was nothing...
**[07:03] Sawa**
All right. Well, then...
**[07:07] Sawa**
Let's do this.
**[07:09] Old**
Do what?!
**[07:10] Takeda**
A m-meeting!
**[07:14] Coach**
Today's match against Date Tech
**[07:17] Coach**
is what you call "the first sip of beer."
**[07:21] Coach**
The deliciousness of the
first sip of beer is special,
**[07:24] Coach**
and you only
get it in that first sip.
**[07:26] Takeda**
Ukai-kun, we should phrase that
differenty for the minors here.
**[07:32] Coach**
Ahem.
**[07:33] Coach**
Well, the match with Date Tech
was the first time
**[07:36] ---**
we used the freak quick against them.
**[07:38] ---**
Therefore, we were able to
catch out opponents off guard.
**[07:42] Coach**
But we've fought Seijoh once in the past,
**[07:45] ---**
so they know at least some of our tricks.
**[07:48] Coach**
Still, I'm certain that your offense
is stronger than theirs.
**[07:54] Coach**
First, we need to endure Oikawa's serves.
**[07:59] Coach**
His serves controlling the game's pace
**[08:02] Coach**
is what we want the least,
**[08:04] ---**
but that's most likely that will happen.
**[08:06] Coach**
So, for right now, we have the basic
**[08:09] ---**
"everyone who's not the setter goes after
the ball" formation to receive serves.
***SIGN*** (Net)
Hinata or Tsukishima
**[08:14] Coach**
However, this time, we won't have the
middle blocker, Hinata or Tsukishima,
**[08:17] ---**
participate in receiving the serve.
**[08:19] Coach**
They'll concentrate solely on attacking.
**[08:21] Tsuki**
'Kay.
**[08:22] Hinata**
Okay.
**[08:23] Coach**
Hey, don't get so bummed out.
**[08:25] ---**
We're just dividing up the work.
**[08:27] Coach**
Oh, also, you guys saw Seijoh and thought,
"Oh, crap. They're strong," right?
**[08:35] Coach**
But...
**[08:37] Coach**
If you were seeing our match against Date Tech
from the stands, you'd hesitate, saying,
**[08:43] ---**
"What's with that blocking?
Talk about scary. We can't win," right?
**[08:50] Coach**
But you fought them,
**[08:51] Coach**
and you won.
**[08:53] Coach**
Tomorrow will be the same.
**[09:01] All**
All right!
**[09:04] Coach**
All right. Let's clarify the formation a bit.
**[09:07] All**
Right!
**[09:10] Mori**
Ukai-san.
**[09:12] Coach**
Oh, Mori.
**[09:14] Mori**
This is today's match.
***SIGN*** Seijoh vs Omisaki
**[09:16] Coach**
Sweet. Thanks.
**[09:19] Coach**
Thanks.
**[09:20] Coach**
This helps out a lot.
The next round's on me.
**[09:22] Mori**
All right! Yeah!
**[09:24] Mori**
See ya.
**[09:25] Takeda**
Is that the Aoba Johsai match?
**[09:27] Coach**
Yeah.
**[09:28] Coach**
Well, it's not like watching
this will guarantee
***SIGN*** Seijoh vs Omisaki
**[09:31] ---**
we'll be able to receive
Oikawa's serves tomorrow.
**[09:36] Coach**
But I'd feel pretty anxious
if I wasn't doing *anything*.
**[09:40] Takeda**
The next round's on me, Ukai-kun.
**[09:42] Coach**
Seriously?!
**[09:43] Coach**
All right. Make sure
you're not late tomorrow.
**[09:46] All**
Right!
**[09:54] (Flashback) Oikawa**
I want to take my dear underclassman
on in an official match,
**[10:00] (Flashback) Oikawa**
setter versus setter, and crush him.
**[10:10] Sawa**
Kageyama seems more irritated than usual.
**[10:15] Sawa**
Oh, there he goes.
**[10:17] Hina**
Kageyama!
**[10:18] ---**
You're going to end up with
**[10:20] ---**
permanent forehead wrinkles,
even though you're just a teen!
**[10:21] Kage**
What?!
**[10:23] Hinata**
Tomorrow, we're going to
defeat the Great King....
**[10:27] Kage**
*Defeat... Oikawa-san...*
**[10:30] Hinata**
...and end up on TV, so you should
practice looking good for that!
**[10:34] Kage**
Mind your own business!
**[10:36] Kage**
We'll win that match.
If we don't, we can't advance.
**[10:42] Hinata**
All right!
**[10:49] Sawa**
I'll be going, now.
**[10:50] Oika**
'Kay. Bye-bye!

Sorry, sorry, sorry!
I promise I won't!

I promise I'll arrive in top condition!

Stop being stupid, Crappy Oikawa.
**[11:22] Iwa**
I'm shutting the club room doors,
so get out of here, Trashykawa.

Don't shorten the insults!

Next, we'll do serves!
**[13:53] Glasses**
They sure are pumped up.
**[13:55] All**
Right!
**[13:55] Blonde**
By the way, did your student
get better at serves?
**[13:59] Glasses**
What do you mean, "student"?
**[14:01] (Flashback) Yama**
Will you teach me how to do
a jump float serve?
**[14:05] Glasses**
It's only been a week since then.
**[14:06] Yama**
Here I go!
**[14:09] Glasses**
He may be able to get some lucky hits in,
**[14:11] Glasses**
but he can't really control it yet.
**[14:19] Oikawa**
Nice, Makki. Super sharp.
**[14:25] Oikawa**
Sorry, Kindaichi.
**[14:27] Oikawa**
That one was a little high.
**[14:29] Kinda**
Uh, no... Yes!
**[14:33] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan, you sure you're
not trying too hard?
**[14:36] Oikawa**
You don't have to try and show off.
**[14:39] Oikawa**
None of the girls will
be looking at you, anyway.
**[14:43] Takeda**
Oikawa-kun is apparently watching
the other players very closely.

I-Iwasaki-san! Calm down!
We're right before a match!

Let go of me, Kindachi!

Everyone's staring hard!

**[02:44] Sawa**
Kageyama, nice serve!
**[02:52] Kage**
*Crap!*
**[02:53] Hana**
Out! Out!
**[02:56] Iwa**
He sure blew that one out of the park.
**[02:59] Oikawa**
What an amazing homerun.
**[03:02] Kage**
*Damn it!*
**[03:03] Sawa**
Don't mind! Don't mind!
**[03:04] Kage**
I'm sorry.
**[03:06] Oikawa**
Well, then.
**[03:08] Oikawa**
I guess I'll just have to show
you how it's done.
**[03:17] Suga**
Eh? He was aiming for Nishinoya?!
**[03:20] Noya**
* It's coming head-on...*
* no, it's curving!*
**[03:26] Person**
He was able to receive Oikawa's serve!
**[03:28] Person**
Karasuno's libero's awesome!
**[03:30] Haruka**
Aww...
**[03:31] Yuuko**
He got it.
**[03:33] Oikawa**
Aw, man. He really is amazing.
**[03:35] Iwa**
Whadya mean, "show you how it's done"?!
**[03:37] ---**
He received it without a problem!
**[03:40] Hina**
Bring it!
**[03:41] Iwa**
#10! #10!
**[03:47] Hina**
Yeah!
**[03:47] Kage**
All right!
**[03:49] Glasses**
You just saw the guy on
the right, didn't you?
**[03:51] Blonde**
Yeah.
**[03:52] Blonde**
Nekoma's setter tried to trick people
using his eyes, didn't he?
**[03:57] Oikawa**
That god-like toss should
be against the rules. Jeez.
**[04:00] Sensei**
I'm impressed that Nishinoya-kun
was able to receive that cleanly.
**[04:03] Sensei**
Oh, but maybe Oikawa-kun didn't mean
to hit it toward Nishinoya-kun.
**[04:08] Coach**
No, I think he was aiming for Nishinoya.
**[04:12] Sawa**
Well done!
**[04:12] Coach**
If Nishinoya wasn't able to get that,
**[04:14] Noya**
Thanks!
**[04:14] ---**
the damage to everyone else's morale
would have been huge.
**[04:15] Sawa**
Do that one more time!
**[04:18] Coach**
I think that's what he wanted.
**[04:22] Coach**
*Thank goodness.*
**[04:23] ---**
*You did a great job receiving that, Nishinoya.*
**[04:27] Kinda**
I'm sorry. I keep messing up.
**[04:31] Oikawa**
Well, they are the Karasuno
that toyed with Date Tech.
**[04:34] Oikawa**
Let's just wait a bit.
**[04:36] ---**
It shouldn't be much longer.
**[04:38] Oikawa**
More importantly, Kindaichi...
**[04:41] Oikawa**
I'm sure that you're rather frustrated
**[04:43] ---**
that the role of Kayeyama's partner
was stolen by that little shrimp.
**[04:47] Kinda**
No, not really...
**[04:47] Oikawa**
It's fine. Don't sweat it.
**[04:49] Oikawa**
Even if Tobio thought of you
**[04:51] ---**
as a minion that wasn't
very useful in junior high,
**[04:55] Oikawa**
I, the great Oikawa-san,
will prove that you're amazing,
**[04:59] ---**
even without using god-like quicks.
**[05:04] Oikawa**
So don't worry and just jump.
**[05:05] Kinda**
Right!
**[05:08] Suga**
Tanaka, nice serve!
**[05:09] Yama**
Nice serve!
**[05:11] Iwa**

**[05:26] Sawa**
I wonder... Maybe I'm imagining it...
**[05:29] Sawa**
Their #12 seems to be jumping higher
**[05:31] ---**
than in our practice match.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[05:34] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan, nice serve!
**[05:38] Sawa**
Sorry! Cover!
**[05:39] Kage**
Right!
**[05:40] Hina**
Toss to me!
**[05:52] Oikawa**
Yep.
**[05:56] Oikawa**
Sensei! Sensei!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[06:01] Person**
Seijoh's already asking for a timeout?
**[06:03] Person**
Isn't it a bit early?
**[06:04] Person**
It wasn't like Karasuno had
momentum or anything.
**[06:08] Oikawa**
I'm pretty sure I'm right about this.
**[06:11] Oikawa**
It's "bring it" and "to me."
**[06:14] Suga**
Could it be that they've
already figured it out?
**[06:17] Kage**
Damn it, that was fast.
**[06:19] Oikawa**
At first, I noticed that the shrimp
would always yell something
**[06:22] ---**
when he'd move in on the ball,
**[06:25] ---**
and I thought he seemed pretty stupid.
**[06:27] Oikawa**
But when they use that
god-like quick attack,
**[06:29] ---**
it appears they're using "bring it,"
like "bring it here"
**[06:32] ---**
or "bring it to me."
**[06:34] Oikawa**
And with a normal one...
**[06:36] Iwa**
...they're using "to me."
**[06:38] Oikawa**
Yep.
**[06:39] Oikawa**
But that shrimp's role is to be the decoy.
**[06:42] Oikawa**
They want us to focus our attention on him.
**[06:47] Oikawa**
So let's just set up a simple rule.
**[06:50] Oikawa**
When we hear "bring it," let's just
have one person mark the shrimp.
**[06:54] Oikawa**
When we hear "to me," let's see
where the toss goes before we jump.
**[06:58] Oikawa**
Okay?
**[06:59] Seijoh**
Right!
**[07:00] Iwa**
Considering we took a timeout this early
when nothing's really happened yet,
**[07:05] Iwa**
don't you think they realized that
we've realized what they're doing?
**[07:08] Oikawa**
That's completely fine.
**[07:09] ---**
It's actually better if they realize it.
**[07:11] Oikawa**
If they know that we've realized
they're using those signals,
**[07:14] Oikawa**
it might be minimal, but Tobio will panic.
**[07:18] Nishi**
Hey! What's with the serious face?
That's not like you.
**[07:22] Tanaka**
Nah, Noya-san. That's actually
how he always looks.
**[07:26] Tanaka**
He has the same face when
**[07:28] ---**
he's trying to decide between
milk a yogurt drink.
**[07:29] Kage**
That— He— That has nothing
to do with anything!
**[07:33] Tanaka**
But Noya-san, I'm amazed that you
were able to return that serve.
**[07:36] Nishi**
I received that serve once
when I was in junior high.
**[07:40] Nishi**
It was always an amazing serve,
if he could actually get it in,
**[07:43] Nishi**
but he missed it a lot, and it
didn't have as much control.
**[07:47] Nishi**
I'm sure he practiced a lot.
**[07:50] Nishi**
Just because they have one
guy who can serve really well
**[07:53] ---**
and their setter is an all-around player,
**[07:55] Nishi**
I don't think those are the only reasons
they've stayed in the top four for so long.
**[07:58] Nishi**
If we let our guard down,
they'll take this game.
**[08:00] Nishi**
Let's give it our all!
**[08:01] All**
Right!
**[08:05] Seijoh**
All right!
**[08:05] Kage**
What the hell kind of sound was that?!
**[08:07] Tanaka**
Don't look down, even if you miss.
**[08:09] Oikawa**
All right. Let's go ahead with our plan.
**[08:11] Oikawa**
Kindaichi, you know where to aim, right?
**[08:14] Kinda**
Yes!
**[08:15] Oikawa**
One point!
**[08:16] Oikawa**
*No matter how great a set up may be,*
**[08:18] Oikawa**
*it only exists because of the first receive.*
**[08:23] Iwa**
Kindaichi, nice serve!
**[08:27] Teach**
Oh? That didn't look like
a very strong serve.
**[08:27] Azu**
Sorry! We'll get the next one!
**[08:29] Sawa**
Don't mind! Don't mind!
**[08:36] Seijoh**
All right!
**[08:38] Azu**
*It's really hard to get.*
**[08:40] Coach**
*It seems...*
**[08:42] Coach**
* They're trying to get the setter*
* from the back line to come out.*
**[08:45] Haruka**
That wasn't like Oikawa-kun's serve,
so why can't they get it?
**[08:50] Blonde**
Ahem. Well, that's because...
***SIGN*** Back line Front line
**[08:54] Blonde**
When the setter is in the back line,
**[08:56] Blonde**
he can't move in front of
the players on the front line
**[08:59] Blonde**
until after the serve is hit.
***SIGN*** Back line Front line
**[09:02] Blonde**
So when they serve the ball,
**[09:05] ---**
they have to rush toward
the net at the same time.
**[09:09] Blonde**
If they happen to to serve right
where this mixing of people occurs,
**[09:11] Blonde**
they tend to receive late
and it's easy to miss.
**[09:15] Blonde**
But as soon as they know where it's going...
**[09:16] Iwa**
Kindaichi, nice serve!
**[09:19] Azu**
Yeah!
**[09:20] Blonde**
...it's not an impossible serve to get.
**[09:21] Kage**
Nice receive!
**[09:25] Karasu**
All right!
**[09:25] Haru**
So they're thinking about
a lot of things while playing...
**[09:28] Both**
Thank you, old guy.
**[09:30] Blonde**
"Old." Sure.
**[09:34] Teach**
Ah, looks like Oikawa-kun is back up front.
**[09:37] Oikawa**
#3! #3!
**[09:37] Teach**
They'll have to be careful
of that dump attack again.
**[09:38] Hana**
Nice serve!
**[09:40] Kage**
*Damn it...*
**[09:42] Kage**
*This pressure's incredible.*
**[09:44] ---**
*They're now four points ahead of us,*
**[09:46] Kage**
* and we have two blockers*
* on the front row without Hinata.*
**[09:49] Kage**
*We have to hurry up the rotation.*
**[09:55] Tanaka**
Nice receive!
**[09:57] Iwa**
A dump!
**[10:02] Oikawa**
There's nothing easier to stop than a
dump when you're panicked.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[10:11] Both**

**[10:13] Both**
Yeah!
**[10:15] Tanaka**
Let's turn this around and
get those four points back.
**[10:17] Tanaka**
Yeah!
**[10:19] Oikawa**
They're so lively...
**[10:21] ---**
...and troublesome.
**[10:27] Hina**
Give me a toss!
**[10:29] (Flashback) Oikawa**
When we hear "give me,"
we look at the toss...
**[10:33] Kinda**
*...and then jump!*
**[10:38] Karasu**
All right!
**[10:38] Kage**
*Have they realized it, after all?*
**[10:41] Tanaka**
Kageyama, nice serve!
**[10:43] Nishi**
One point!
**[10:44] Kage**
*I'm not going to miss this time.*
**[10:49] Coach**
Is it a bit too forward?
**[10:54] Oikawa**
Front! Front! Front!
**[10:55] Coach**
Good. He was able to turn
it into a soft serve.
**[10:58] Oikawa**
* I'm not going to give you*
* a chance that easily.*
**[11:03] Teach**
Kageyama-kun touched the ball first?
**[11:05] ---**
Now he can't toss!
**[11:07] Sawa**
Tanaka!
**[11:09] Tanaka**
Damn it!
**[11:10] Coach**
* To be able to change a tight spot*
* into an opportunity so quickly...*
**[11:13] Coach**
* The fact that he's able to*
* do that in an actual match...*
**[11:16] Coach**
*His command of the game is amazing.*
**[11:18] Suga**
Don't mind! Don't mind!
**[11:20] Yama**
One more!
**[11:22] Teach**
Now it's Oikawa-kun's turn to serve again.
**[11:26] Oikawa**
Seeing the heavy atmosphere when a team's
cheerful mood-maker suddenly falls silent...
**[11:34] Seijoh**
I love it!
**[12:00] Sawa**
Don't mind!
We'll get the next one!
**[12:02] Oikawa**
* Continuously missing serve receives*
* will apply a lot of pressure.*
**[12:06] Oikawa**
* First, we'll have to quiet*
* down the lively baldy,*
**[12:10] Oikawa**
*then the ace.*
**[12:12] Oikawa**
* If we can break the two on the left*
* who are the essence of their attack...*
**[12:15] Oikawa**
*There's no point in having a skilled decoy.*
**[12:20] Person**
That was fast.
**[12:21] ---**
Karasuno's taking a timeout
right after a fast attack.
**[12:23] Person**
Well, the momentum's already with Seijoh,
**[12:26] Person**
so if they don't hurry up
and turn the momentum around,
**[12:27] ---**
they're not going to be able to come back.
**[12:29] Person**
I feel bad for the guy they're targeting.
**[12:32] Coach**
Just lift it up!
**[12:33] ---**
Even if it doesn't go to the setter,
as long as we can get the ball up,
**[12:37] ---**
we can recover somehow!
**[12:38] Tanaka**
Right.
**[12:40] Coach**
By the way, Kageyama-kun...
**[12:42] Coach**
What was with that dump earlier?
**[12:45] Kage**
I'm sorry! I panicked!
**[12:49] Coach**
If you realize that, it's fine.
**[12:51] Coach**
It's not that dumps are wrong.
**[12:54] Coach**
It's also in our favor if we
have the enemy verify that
**[12:56] ---**
we have a lot of ways to attack.
**[12:59] Coach**
However, if they read
that we're doing a dump,
**[13:01] ---**
then it's likely that they'll stop it.
**[13:03] Coach**
Think carefully about when
you're going to use it.
**[13:06] Kage**
Yes!
**[13:07] Coach**
Also, don't forget who
we're fighting against.
**[13:10] Coach**
It's not Oikawa, but Aoba Johsai.
**[13:13] Coach**
Also, it's not just you that's fighting,
**[13:15] Coach**
it's Karasuno.
**[13:17] Kage**

that can't be helped!
**[14:46] Nishi**
That toss was hard, and
there was a three-person block.
**[14:49] ---**
I should have followed up—
**[14:49] Tanaka**
I didn't call the toss just now.
**[14:53] Tanaka**
I got scared for a second, damn it!
**[14:56] Tanaka**
I'll have all of my regrets after the match!
**[14:59] Tanaka**
There's no point in someone worthless like me
**[15:01] ---**
bringing everyone down because
I'm upset about my own mistake!
**[15:05] Tanaka**
I'll get it next time!
**[15:07] Coach**
The fact that you're saying that
shows just how worthy you are.
**[15:11] Tanaka**
Oh, right.
**[15:12] Coach**
If you try to receive by just using
your arms, it'll just deflect,
**[15:15] ---**
so move your legs, too.
**[15:17] Nishi**
You should be just like Ryu, Asahi-san.
**[15:20] Azu**
If I could, I would!
**[15:22] Person**
Hey, about the timeout they took earlier...
**[15:25] Person**
Didn't that Oikawa guy seem weird?
**[15:28] Guy**
Yeah. Apparently, it's so
he doesn't lose his focus.
**[15:32] Guy**
In order to stop the momentum
of his dangerous serves,

most teams usually take a timeout.

A seven-point lead...
**[18:26] Tanaka**
Nice receive!
**[18:27] Kage**
*We have to lessen it somehow.*
**[18:27] Hina**
Bring it!
**[18:32] Teach**
That seemed to be sharper than usual!
**[18:36] Kage**
*Damn it. Two blockers. They keep following.*
**[18:36] Kinda**
Sorry, I was a little late.
**[18:38] Iwa**
So close! Don't mind!
You'll get the next one.
**[18:40] Kage**
* If they stop us here,*
* they're going to take the momentum again.*
**[18:42] Kinda**
Right! I'll do my best!
**[18:43] ---**
*I'll somehow have to make it just one...*
**[18:46] Oikawa**
*When I was a second-year in high school,*
**[18:48] ---**
* I heard the nickname of my very talented*
* underclassman from junior high:*
**[18:52] Oikawa**
*The King of the Court.*
**[18:54] ---**
*I thought it was high praise,*
**[18:57] Oikawa**
* but after I saw a match,*
* I realized it meant something else.*
**[19:02] Oikawa**
*He has the power.*
**[19:03] ---**
*He has the talent.*
**[19:04] ---**
* He's hungry for victory,*
* way more than anyone else.*
**[19:09] Oikawa**
*That's what made Tobio strong,*
**[19:11] Oikawa**
*but also...*
**[19:13] Oikawa**
*...it was his only weakness.*
**[19:16] Oikawa**
* You try to do everything*
* yourself far too much, Tobio.*
**[19:20] Oikawa**
*And that's not an easy habit to break.*
**[19:23] ---**
*Especially after just two months.*
**[19:27] Iwa**
Hanamaki, nice kill!
**[19:28] Kinda**
Nice!
**[19:30] Suga**
Hinata!
**[19:33] ---**
Use the signal we talked about.
We're changing plans!
**[19:36] Hina**
Could it be the new one?
**[19:38] Sawa**
Cover!
**[19:39] Iwa**
Matsukawa, nice block!
**[19:43] Nishi**
All right!
**[19:44] Sawa**
One more! One more!
**[19:46] Blonde**
Hey. Are Karasuno's attacks getting faster?
**[19:52] Coach**
*I don't feel good about this acceleration,*
**[19:54] Coach**
*and we've already used up our timeouts.*
**[19:57] Coach**
Take your time! Don't panic!
**[20:00] Person**
The curse of speed...
**[20:02] ---**
When you feel like you
want to escape from a block,
**[20:05] Person**
you end up doing faster tosses
rather than ones that are easy to hit.
**[20:09] Person**
Unconsciously, and just
a little at a time...
**[20:13] Person**
But that...
**[20:14] Person**
...eventually leads to a giant shift.
**[20:17] Oikawa**
*Tobio, you're a genius.*
**[20:20] Oikawa**
* You're the only person who could*
* use that attack with that shrimp.*
**[20:25] Oikawa**
*But what about everything else?*
**[20:27] Oikawa**
* If you were able to raise the*
* ball a bit slower, I think your #3*
**[20:31] ---**
* could have enough power*
* to spike through the blocks.*
**[20:35] Oikawa**
* Does glasses there trust your tosses*
* enough that he could seriously hit them?*
**[20:41] Oikawa**
*Spikers are all different.*
**[20:43] ---**
* Once you're able to bring out*
* 100% of the strengths*
**[20:45] ---**
* of each and every one of them,*
* that's when...*
**[20:49] Oikawa**
*you'll be a true setter!*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[20:54] Kage**
* It's no use. The gap's*
* not getting any smaller.*
**[20:58] Kage**
*Something... I have to do so something.*
**[21:01] Kage**
*It's going over the net!*
**[21:02] Sawa**
Push it, Kageyama!
**[21:22] Yama**
It's like...
**[21:24] ---**
...he's not his usual self.
**[21:32] Tanaka**
Nice receive!
**[21:34] Kage**
* I'm not going to lose!*
* I'm not going to lose!*
**[21:38] Kage**
*I'm going to win and remain on the court!*
**[21:46] Matsu**
It's coming back!
**[21:46] Nishi**
Asahi-san, nice follow through!
**[21:47] Iwa**
Chance ball!
**[21:48] Person**
*Oikawa has sense, and doesn't lack effort,*
**[21:52] Person**
* but when you compare him*
* to the mass of talent*
**[21:55] ---**
* named Kageyama that's two*
* years younger than him,*
**[21:58] Person**
* Oikawa is an efficient player,*
* but not a genius.*
**[22:02] ---**
* I can say with confidence that,*
* at this moment in time,*
**[22:04] Person**
*the one who is a better setter...*
**[22:09] Person**
*is Oikawa.*

**[00:06] Person**
Hey, Karasuno's switching setters.
**[00:21] Suga**
Don't get depressed.
**[00:22] ---**
We're just changing up the rhythm for a bit.
**[00:25] Kage**
I'm sorry.
**[00:28] Suga**
*I'm worried about him, but...*
**[00:32] Suga**
* If these two break right now,*
* at the same time...*
**[00:36] Hina**
I said I'd be the one that defeats you!
**[00:40] Yama**
Hinata, you're gonna get in trouble—
**[00:41] Hina**
So don't lose to anyone else before that!
**[00:48] Kage**
The match isn't over yet,
**[00:51] Kage**
so I haven't lost.
**[00:54] Yama**
You're going to get in trouble!
**[00:57] Suga**
* Guess I don't have anything*
* to worry about after all.*
**[01:00] Coach**
Kageyama, make sure you take stock
of things from outside the court,
**[01:03] Coach**
and use that time to calm down.
**[01:05] Coach**
Watch how your senpai plays.
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
**[02:40] Suga**
Hey!
**[02:41] Suga**
Hey!
**[02:43] Suga**
Hey!
**[02:44] Suga**
Hey!
**[02:45] Both**
Hey!
***SIGN*** Episode 21: Senpai's True Abilities
**[02:48] Suga**
It'll be fine. Let's break their streak.
**[02:53] All**
All right!
**[02:59] Kage**
What?
**[03:01] Hina**
Jeez, your face is scary.
**[03:03] Kage**
I was born with this face!
**[03:05] Hina**
You were all irritated,
and stopped talking as much...
**[03:10] Hina**
I could tell you were thinking, and stuff,
**[03:13] Hina**
but if you don't say it out loud,
I don't know what you're thinking.
**[03:18] Kage**
Wasn't I saying it out loud?
**[03:20] Hina**
Nope... You were quieter
than in any other match.
**[03:23] Hina**
For crying out loud...
**[03:25] Kage**
* Damn it. I was so overwhelmed I end up*
* having to hear about this from him?*
**[03:30] Person**
Hey, the Karasuno setter
that just went in is #2.
**[03:35] ---**
Oh, he's a third-year.
***SIGN*** 2: Sugawara Koshi
**[03:36] Person**
So some genius first-year that just joined
took his starter position?
**[03:41] Suga**
Daichi, you're not being as loud as usual.
**[03:45] Suga**
A captain can't lose his composure!
**[03:47] Sawa**
Yeah, I'm sorry.
**[03:48] Azu**
*The only person that can lecture Daichi...*
**[03:50] Tana**
*...is Suga-san.*
**[03:52] Suga**
Tsukishima.
**[03:55] Oikawa**
* I don't know just how good*
* Mr. Refreshing over there is,*
**[04:00] Oikawa**
* but seeing him up close, the words*
* "serious" and "polite" seem to fit him well.*
**[04:05] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan, the defensive block will be low
straight forward where #2-kun is standing,
**[04:09] ---**
so it'd be a good place to aim.
**[04:11] Iwa**
Right.
**[04:16] Suga**
Nice receive!
**[04:18] Suga**
Tanaka!
**[04:21] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan!
**[04:23] Iwa**
*I've got to aim...*
**[04:24] Iwa**
*straight forward where the block is low.*
**[04:28] Oikawa**
Iwa—
**[04:34] Glasses**
Denied!
**[04:35] Glasses**
I guess they figured out they'd
be aiming straight forward.
**[04:38] Blonde**
Right? Well done.
**[04:40] ---**
The blockers switched places right
before the opponent's spike.
**[04:45] Suga**
Nice block, Tsukishima. Nice, nice!
**[04:48] Tsuki**
But you're the one...
**[04:50] Suga**
Whenever we're up against a strong team,
**[04:52] ---**
they usually aim right for me
since my block is so low.
**[04:56] Suga**
I figured that'd happen this time, too.
**[04:59] Suga**
I feel so relieved,
being next to someone so tall.
**[05:02] Tsuki**
Um, well... right.
**[05:05] Iwa**
Sorry.
**[05:06] Hana**
Don't mind!
**[05:06] Oikawa**
Sorry, Iwa-chan.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[05:11] Suga**
Hinata.
**[05:13] Sawa**
Tsukishima, nice serve!
**[05:17] Kuni**
Right.
**[05:18] Oikawa**
Nice receive, Kunimi-chan!
**[05:20] Glasses**
Whoa, they totally returned it!
**[05:22] Blonde**
Are they gonna do a quick?
**[05:25] Blonde**
A-quick!
**[05:33] Tsuki**
All right!
**[05:35] Suga**
Hinata, great job!
**[05:37] Hina**
It's just like you said, Sugawara-san!
**[05:40] (Flashback) Sugawa**
Next time their receive
goes directly to the setter,
**[05:43] (Flashback) ---**
the center will probably do a quick set.
**[05:46] (Flashback) Sugawa**
Don't panic, though. Just jump
a little higher than usual.
**[05:49] Sugawa**
Right?
**[05:51] Suga**
* I know I felt frustrated watching*
* the game from the outside,*
**[05:55] ---**
* but I saw the game more calmly*
* than I would if I was playing.*
**[05:59] Suga**
* The time I wasn't in the game*
* has been preparation for this.*
**[06:03] Teach**
They seemed to be more fired up now.
**[06:06] Coach**
Yeah...
**[06:07] Teach**
It'll be fine.
**[06:08] Coach**
Huh?
**[06:09] Teach**
Weren't you worried that Kageyama-kun
**[06:12] ---**
would get angry that you benched him,
since he seems so proud?
**[06:18] Teach**
It'll be fine.
**[06:20] ---**
Kageyama-kun's strength
and how well he plays
**[06:22] ---**
is because of his great pride,
**[06:24] ---**
but even more more,
because of his drive to improve.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[06:28] Sawa**
Tsukishima, one more nice serve!
**[06:30] Oikawa**
Let's break their serve streak!
**[06:31] Hina**
*Let's see, the next attack...*
**[06:31] All**
Right!
**[06:33] Watari**
Let's go!
**[06:33] Azu**
Nice serve!
**[06:35] Suga**
* I don't have the ability to do*
* pinpoint tosses like Kageyama,*
**[06:40] Suga**
* so I want to signal what kind*
* of attack we'll do next.*
**[06:49] Sawa**
* "The poor third-year that was*
* replaced by the genius first-year."*
**[06:53] Sawa**
* I'm sure that's how some*
* people would see Suga, but...*
**[06:57] Both**
*They're not saying "bring it" or "to me!"*
**[06:59] Oikawa**
He's not Tobio, so there
won't be any god-like quicks!
**[07:02] Both**
*Right!*
**[07:06] Sawa**
* Suga is Karasuno's other setter.*
* He has run simulations in his head*
**[07:11] ---**
* of what it will be like*
* when he's actually on the court.*
**[07:16] Both**
All right!
**[07:19] Suga**
*I'm definitely inferior to Kageyama*
**[07:21] ---**
* when it comes to technique*
* and physical ability,*
**[07:23] ---**
* but I've spent quite a*
* while watching our team.*
**[07:27] Suga**
* If it were just me against Aoba Johsai,*
* I wouldn't stand a chance,*
**[07:31] Suga**
*but my teammates are plenty strong.*
**[07:36] Oikawa**
Let's break their serve streak!
**[07:38] All**
Right!
***SIGN*** 21 - 14
Aoba Johsai Karasuno
***SIGN*** 21 - 15
Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[07:46] People**
All right!
**[07:48] Sawa**
Don't mind, Hinata.
**[07:49] Suga**
Hey...
**[07:51] Iwa**
Nice serve!
**[07:52] Hana**
One point!
**[07:53] Kage**
*Damn it.*
**[07:59] Kage**
*Now it's Oikawa-san's serve...*
**[08:01] Both**
Bring it!
**[08:03] Aoba**
Go!
**[08:07] Tanaka**
Got it!
**[08:07] Nishi**
Leave it to me!
**[08:10] Glasses**
Now he's aiming between them.
**[08:10] Aoba**
All right!
**[08:12] Blonde**
He's aiming at the optimal spot!
**[08:14] Nishi**
My bad! I was about to get it!
**[08:16] Tanaka**
And I overstepped my bounds. Sorry!
**[08:20] Aoba**
Go!
**[08:25] Coach**
The front!
**[08:28] Aoba**
All right!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[08:30] Glasses**
Seijoh's at their set point.
**[08:32] Blonde**
Damn.
**[08:33] Blonde**
Just how many points did
that guy's serves get them?
**[08:37] Glasses**
If volleyball had an ultimate play,
it'd be to take 25 points just by serving,
**[08:39] Oikawa**
Let's finish this!
**[08:41] Aoba**
Yeah!
**[08:44] Glasses**
not giving your opponent
even a single chance.
**[08:47] Glasses**
That's what a service ace is.
**[08:49] Sawa**
I got it!
**[08:52] Azu**
Right!
**[08:58] Iwa**
*#10 followed by #5 from the right...*
**[09:01] Iwa**
*No, it's a back attack!*
**[09:05] Iwa**
Hanamaki, nice receive!
**[09:08] Kage**
Hinata, it's coming directly to you!
**[09:10] Hina**
* This is the first time*
* it's come directly to me.*
**[09:13] Kage**
You suck!
**[09:15] Hina**
Oh, shut up, already!
**[09:21] (Flashback) Suga**
Hey...
**[09:23] (Flashback) Suga**
The timing of Seijoh's quicks seems
to be a bit slower than ours.
**[09:31] Hina**
*Build up just a bit more than usual, then.*
**[09:35] Hina**
Jump!
**[09:37] Person**
Back! Go back!
**[09:47] Both**
It's out?!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[09:50] Coach**
We're switching sides. Let's go!
**[09:52] Hina**
Ow!
**[09:53] Tana**
So close, Hinata.
We'll stop them next time!
**[09:56] Hina**
Right!
**[09:58] Kinda**
* Damn it, that was close!*
* They totally got our timing.*
**[10:02] Oikawa**
*Since #2 came in,*
**[10:05] ---**
* even the shrimp, who was just*
* moving purely on instinct,*
**[10:07] ---**
*is now thinking before he moves.*
***SIGN*** Rule the Court
Aoba Johsai High School Volleyball Club
**[10:14] Teach**
Here.
**[10:15] Manager**
Here.
**[10:16] Coach**
We'll go as-is with our second set.
**[10:18] All**
Right!
**[10:20] Coach**
Since the most troublesome thing
we're facing is Oikawa's serves,
**[10:26] Coach**
we'll be changing up our defense
to maximize efficiency with few players.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai
**[10:29] Iwa**
So Karasuno's attacks...
**[10:32] Iwa**
Since we were assuming that their only attack
**[10:34] ---**
was the quick with Kageyama and that #10,
**[10:36] Iwa**
it totally throws us off
when they do normal attacks.
**[10:40] Matsu**
We end up looking toward #10 too much.
**[10:42] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan, if you think too hard
when you don't have a brain,
**[10:44] ---**
you're going to hurt your head.
**[10:46] Person**
* It's true that even in our practice match,*
* all eyes were on Kageyama.*
**[10:51] Person**
*To think they had another special setter...*
**[10:54] Kage**
Sugawara-san!
**[10:55] Suga**
Yeah?
**[10:56] Kage**
Kindachi's... Um, Radish's...
**[11:01] ---**
Could it be that #12's
quick timing is a bit slow?
**[11:06] Suga**
I think it is!
**[11:08] Suga**
He looks, and looks... and then hits
the ball. Or something like that.
**[11:13] Suga**
Oh, also... I just realized this
when I came into the game,
**[11:13] Coach**
Now that someone completely unknown,
Sugawara, is controlling our game,
**[11:17] Suga**
but our opponent will definitely
aim for any holes that we have,
**[11:17] ---**
our opponents are in a state of confusion.
**[11:19] Suga**
so we can use that to our advantage.
**[11:19] Teach**
It's the gap between him
and Kageyama-kun, right?
**[11:21] Coach**
Yeah. My original plan was to have him help
**[11:24] ---**
the other players regain their calm,
**[11:26] ---**
but to think it would also result in this.
**[11:29] Coach**
We'll definitely be able to use
this in other matches, too.
**[11:32] Suga**
Kageyama.
**[11:33] Kage**
Yes?
**[11:34] Suga**
We... how do I say this, seem to be
in competition over the same position...
**[11:41] Suga**
I want to be in a lot of matches, too!
**[11:43] Kage**
I-I do, too, but...
**[11:45] Suga**
But now that I'm on the court,
**[11:48] ---**
the enemies are giants,
**[11:49] ---**
and their spikes are directed right at me.
**[11:52] Suga**
Honestly, it scares me.
**[11:54] Suga**
Before, I would have let it affect me,
**[11:57] Suga**
but now you've got my back.
**[11:59] Suga**
I feel really confident.
**[12:01] Suga**
The points we get when I'm on the court,
**[12:04] Suga**
and the points we get when
you're on the court...
**[12:06] Suga**
All together, they're points for Karasuno.
**[12:08] Suga**
I'll fight my best,
and you'll fight your best...
**[12:13] Suga**
That's how we're going to defeat Seijoh!
**[12:16] Kage**
Right!
**[12:18] Hina**
Kageyama-kun, are you feeling
a bit depressed?
**[12:20] Kage**
No, I'm not!
**[12:21] Hina**
What the heck?!
**[12:22] ---**
I was just feeling sorry for
you since you were pulled out!
**[12:25] Kage**
Just worry about yourself!
**[12:26] ---**
What was up with that sucky direct attack?
**[12:27] Hina**
Sh-Shut up! That was my first time!
**[12:30] Kage**
As soon as I'm back in,
**[12:31] ---**
I'll have you hitting one after another,
so you'd better be prepared!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[12:38] Sawa**
Let's go!
**[12:39] All**
Yeah!
**[12:58] Sawa**
Suga!
**[13:00] Sawa**
Don't you go into overthinking mode, too!
**[13:02] Suga**
R-Right...
**[13:04] Sawa**
We're gonna take it back in the second set.
**[13:07] Sawa**
And to do that...
**[13:09] Sawa**
We've got to plan for Oikawa's serves.
**[13:13] Glasses**
Oh?
**[13:14] Glasses**
Looks like Karasuno changed up their
rotation a bit for the second set,
**[13:17] Glasses**
and Seijoh kept it the same as the first set.
**[13:19] Blonde**
I wonder why they changed it, though.
**[13:26] All**
All right!
**[13:27] Suga**
Nice, Tsukishima!
**[13:29] Tsuki**
Oh, thanks.
**[13:30] Suga**
All right! Let's do one more!
**[13:32] Hina**
Sugawara-san gives you nice
compliments when you get one in!
**[13:35] Kage**
I see...
**[13:37] Person**
It's not like being overly buddy-buddy,
**[13:40] Person**
but I think he says what he does
**[13:42] ---**
based on the spikers' expressions
and how they're doing that day.
**[13:49] Person**
And unlike the second and third-years,
I'm sure for Tsukishima,
**[13:52] ---**
there are a lot of things he
doesn't know about Sugawara-san.
**[13:57] Person**
"Why do I have to match
**[13:59] ---**
what I do with how others are feeling,
especially Tsukishima, that jerk?"
**[14:02] Person**
That's what's written on your face.
**[14:04] Kage**
Th-That's not what I...
**[14:06] Person**
But Kageyama,
**[14:07] ---**
if Hinata seems to have a hard time
hitting the ball, you switch things up, right?
**[14:10] Kage**
Yes, because he misses easily.
**[14:13] Person**
I think that everyone else also
has their own techniques
**[14:16] ---**
and that affects how they hit the ball.
**[14:19] Person**
I might sound biased, but...
**[14:22] Person**
I think our spikers are pretty skilled.
**[14:25] Kage**
I think that, too, but...
**[14:28] Person**
Then,
**[14:30] Person**
if they were all able to hit the ball
with 100% of their ability,
**[14:33] ---**
don't you think they'd be able
to break through a block?
**[14:40] Hina**
One point!
**[14:41] Hina**
It's the Great King's turn to serve!
**[14:44] Glasses**
Oh?
**[14:48] Blonde**
There're only two in position
to receive the serve.
**[14:52] (Flashback) Coach**
...Oikawa's serves,
**[14:54] (Flashback) Coach**
we'll be changing up our defense
to maximize efficiency with few players.
**[14:57] (Flashback) Coach**
When Oikawa does his super-fast serves,
**[15:00] (Flashback) ---**
even the slightest hesitation
or faltering is deadly.
**[15:03] (Flashback) Coach**
So, we'll use Nishinoya and Sawamura,
the few who received his serves, to counter.
**[15:09] (Flashback) Coach**
It's a formation we've
never used in practice.
**[15:12] (Flashback) Coach**
But considering it's you guys...
**[15:14] (Flashback) Both**
We can do it.
**[15:16] (Flashback) Hina**
So cool!
**[15:18] Glasses**
The rotation they have for the second set...
**[15:21] Glasses**
The reason they changed things
up a bit from the first set is...
**[15:24] Blonde**
...to bring this rotation around
when it's Oikawa's turn to serve.
**[15:29] Coach**
*In the first set, they were able to get*
**[15:29] Sawa**
We're going to break their serve streak!
**[15:31] ---**
* five points due to Oikawa's*
* serves breaking through,*
**[15:31] All**
Yeah!
**[15:33] ---**
*and his service aces.*
**[15:35] Coach**
*If we don't return his serves,*
**[15:37] ---**
*we won't be able to defeat Seijoh.*
**[15:40] Nishi**
*Bring it!*
**[15:42] Seijoh**
Go!
**[15:46] Suga**
Daichi!
**[15:53] Coach**
Yes!
**[15:54] Suga**
Nice receive!
**[15:56] Suga**
* There's something important about breaking*
* Oikawa's streak on his first serve.*
**[16:01] Suga**
*If he makes it, it'll be a heavy point.*
**[16:04] Suga**
* It'll be an important point, as well*
* as a point filled with pressure.*
**[16:07] Suga**
*Right now, the one*
**[16:10] ---**
* who's feeling confident from breaking*
* his streak in the first set is...*
**[16:15] Suga**
Tanaka!
**[16:16] Suga**
*I'm leaving this to you!*
**[16:24] Coach**
All...
**[16:24] All**
...right!
**[16:27] Glasses**
They broke the serve streak!
**[16:30] Oika**
Well done, Captain.
**[16:34] Nishi**
All right! One point!
**[16:35] Sawa**
Tsukishima, nice serve!
**[16:36] Person**
*I think our spikers are pretty skilled.*
**[16:40] Person**
* if they were all able to hit the ball*
* with 100% of their ability,*
**[16:43] ---**
* don't you think they'd be able*
* to break through a block?*
**[16:52] Coach**
* I have no complaints about*
* the morale of our team.*
**[16:54] Coach**
* Seijoh is vastly better in terms*
* of experience and technique.*
**[16:54] Iwa**
Let's get that point!
**[16:56] Aoba**
Yeah!
**[16:58] Coach**
* There's no denying that if they get*
* ahead again, it'll be extremely tough.*
**[17:02] Coach**
* But if we hold on with all we've got,*
* the momentum will turn our way.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[17:10] Blonde**
All right! They're equal in the second set!
**[17:10] Karasuno**
All right!
**[17:11] Nishi**
Nice, Asahi-san!
**[17:12] Glasses**
Yeah, but the blockers are keeping up.
**[17:16] Oikawa**
Kindaichi, you're starting
to read their attacks.
**[17:20] Kinda**
Yes!
**[17:22] Oikawa**
* Mr. Refreshing definitely*
* isn't a weak setter,*
**[17:25] ---**
*but all of his attacks are textbook.*
**[17:29] Oikawa**
*None of the set-ups are reckless.*
**[17:32] Oikawa**
Karasuno's basic offensive
strength is indeed high,
**[17:35] ---**
but we've played a number teams like that.
**[17:40] Oikawa**
Now, let's get our lead.
**[17:45] Iwa**
Yes!
**[17:47] Glasses**
It feels like their spikes are going
through our setter a lot more.
**[17:48] Aoba**
Go, go, Hajime! Push it, push it, Hajime!
**[17:53] Blonde**
Yeah.
**[17:55] Matsu**
Nice serve!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[18:04] Glasses**
Seijoh just scored multiple points.
**[18:08] Blonde**
A break happens when the momentum changes...
**[18:11] Blonde**
Don't let Seijoh get it now.
**[18:13] Person**
Since they changed setters,
**[18:15] ---**
Karasuno seems to be using
their left quite a bit.
**[18:18] Person**
Their left side is pretty strong,
**[18:21] Person**
but that might be easier to face
than #10 when he goes crazy.
**[18:23] Hina**
All right! One point!
**[18:29] Suga**
*Slowly, I feel like I'm being strangled...*
**[18:33] Suga**
*Yet strangely, I feel rather calm,*
**[18:35] ---**
* because panic hasn't affected*
* my concentration just yet.*
**[18:38] Suga**
* That's because our goal is*
* so clear in front of us.*
**[18:43] Yama**
Go! One point!
**[18:45] Kage**
*I thought that getting benched proved*
**[18:48] ---**
*that you weren't needed anymore.*
**[18:51] Kage**
* Back then, I'm pretty sure*
* that was actually accurate.*
**[18:57] Suga**
*Now you've got my back.*
**[18:59] Suga**
*I feel really confident.*
**[19:02] Kage**
* The things that Sugawara-san*
* and I can do are different,*
**[19:05] Kage**
*but I think our goal is the same.*
**[19:08] Iwa**
Left! Left!
**[19:11] Suga**
Cover! Cover!
**[19:13] Nishi**
All right!
**[19:17] Kage**
*I want to be in it.*
**[19:18] Kage**
*I want to be in it. I want to be in it.*
**[19:20] ---**
*I want to be in the game.*
**[19:22] Suga**
*I want to stay here longer.*
**[19:24] ---**
*I want to stay with these guys.*
**[19:26] Kage**
*Give me the thrill of the court.*
**[19:28] Suga**
*I want to fight with these guys longer.*
**[19:32] Kage**
*Let me feel out of breath.*
**[19:34] Suga**
*Let me stand here.*
**[19:36] Kage**
*I want to touch the ball. I want to fight.*
**[19:39] Suga**
* I want to throw up a toss*
* with my own hands...*
**[19:42] Both**
*...over and over.*
**[19:43] Both**
*Then...*
**[19:45] Suga**
* ...I'll do my best, and you'll*
* do your best, and then...*
**[19:51] Both**
* ...we'll win the match that's*
* right in front of us!*
**[19:54] Suga**
Nice receive!
**[20:01] Kinda**
All right!
**[20:02] Hana**
Kindaichi, nice block!
**[20:08] Suga**
Sorry, Hinata. I think that
quick might have been too slow.
**[20:12] Hina**
Oh, it's okay.
**[20:14] Person**
Ah, Karasuno's #9's been called.
**[20:17] Person**
Looks like they're switching setters again.
**[20:21] Suga**
* I think I've probably*
* only got one more play.*
**[20:24] Azu**
Suga.
**[20:27] Azu**
Give me the next one.
I'll definitely make it.
**[20:33] Suga**
Got it!
**[20:35] Kinda**
Nice serve!
**[20:50] Person**
Wow.
**[21:07] Suga**
It's a bit frustrating,
**[21:11] Suga**
but Hinata's face when he hits my toss
isn't the same as when he hits your toss.
**[21:18] Suga**
I think you know this, but...
**[21:20] Suga**
all of our guys are really strong.
**[21:24] Person**
Right.
**[21:26] Suga**
All right. Let's—
***SIGN*** Go win this
**[21:32] Suga**
Let's win this thing!
**[21:35] Kage**
Right.
**[21:36] Manager**
Great job.
**[21:37] Teach**
Great job.
**[21:39] Coach**
You fought on equal ground with Seijoh.
**[21:42] Suga**
Well, all of our guys are strong.
**[21:44] Coach**
But you know... Next time, you can
use the center more aggressively.
**[21:52] Suga**
Right! Thank you very much!
**[21:56] Coach**
What?
**[21:58] Teach**
I think the words "next time"
meant a lot to Sugawara-kun.
**[22:04] Suga**
* If we can bring out everyone's*
* strengths effectively,*
**[22:06] ---**
*we can really fight Seijoh.*
**[22:09] Suga**
*But,*
**[22:11] ---**
* to move forward, we need Karasuno's*
* ultimate decoy to be functioning at 100%.*
**[22:20] Suga**
*The only one who can make that happen...*
**[22:24] Suga**
*...is you, Kageyama.*

I'm going to be giving it all I've got.

Now, now, relax your shoulders.
**[24:02] Oikawa**
It's not like you can do much.
**[24:04] Hinata**
Tsukishima! He's meaner than you are!
Are you okay with that?

I'm not exactly competing

**[00:23] Hina**
What are you thinking?!
**[00:25] ---**
You won't get your way!
**[00:27] Tana**
Hinata, you're running too far away!
**[00:28] Nishi**
Shoyo, I don't think that's
a scheming face...
**[00:30] Nishi**
I think he's actually
smiling, maybe...
**[00:32] Azu**
Don't say "maybe," Nishinoya!
**[00:34] Kage**
Hinata, I'll kill you!
**[00:37] Sawa**
*Kageyama's actually trying to smile...*
**[00:41] (Flashback) Suga**
Use the signs I told you about.
We're changing our plan.
**[00:45] Kage**
Thanks!
**[00:46] Hina**
Did Sugawara-san tell you about the signs?
**[00:48] Kage**
I heard it in between sets.
**[00:53] Hina**
All right!
**[00:54] Kage**
Let's keep it going!
**[00:56] Hina**
Heck yeah!
**[02:28] Aoba**
Go, go, go! Go, go, Seijoh!
***SIGN*** Episode 22: Evolution
**[02:33] Suga**
Don't look so amazed. I was pretty nervous.
**[02:37] Yama**
Really?
**[02:39] Suga**
Of course, there were third-years that
played at last year's Inter-High,
**[02:43] Suga**
so I wasn't able to play in
a lot of official matches.
**[02:46] Suga**
I hate to say it,
**[02:48] ---**
but it's likely that Kageyama's had his
feet on the court more than I have.
**[02:51] Tsuki**
Despite that, Kageyama was
freaking out quite a bit.
**[02:56] Tsuki**
Speaking of, the King's
going right into a serve.
**[02:59] ---**
Do you think he'll be all right?
**[03:01] Sawa**
Kageyama, nice serve!
**[03:02] Tana**
Nice serve! One point!
**[03:06] Suga**
Kageyama looks pretty happy.
**[03:08] Yama**
Yeah.
**[03:09] Suga**
It sort of puts me at ease.
**[03:11] Yama**
What does?
**[03:13] Suga**
Apparently every player feels
the same pride about the fact
**[03:17] ---**
that they're going to be on the court.
**[03:20] Suga**
No matter whether they're some
genius or just a regular guy.
**[03:24] Teach**
Kageyama-kun, relax!
**[03:28] Teach**
Oh. Apparently, he's fine.
**[03:38] Oikawa**
We're ending this the first time!
**[03:40] All**
Yeah!
**[03:48] Iwa**
Watari!
**[03:52] Glasses**
Service ace!
**[03:54] Blonde**
He even got it from the libero!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[03:55] Blonde**
And now they're tied.
**[03:57] Kage**
Yes!
**[03:58] Watari**
I'm sorry!
**[04:00] Iwa**
It's all right! We'll get the next one!
**[04:02] Tana**
Yeah!
**[04:06] Tana**
Yeah!
**[04:09] Hina**
He's asking for a high five, you idiot!
**[04:12] Tana**
Yeah!
**[04:12] Kage**
Yeah...
**[04:14] Kinda**
Kageyama just gave someone a high five.
**[04:16] Kuni**
Yeah...
**[04:24] Iwa**
Sorry! Cover!
**[04:25] Wata**
Right!
**[04:26] Suga**
They broke it! It's coming back!
**[04:29] Nishi**
Chance ball!
**[04:32] Hana**
*"Bring it"...*
**[04:33] Kinda**
*...or "to me"?*
**[04:34] Both**
*Which will it be?*
**[04:37] Both**
*They didn't say anything?!*
**[04:39] Person**
There it is!
**[04:40] ---**
That quick is so insane!
**[04:43] Glasses**
All right! Now Karasuno's
turning things around!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[04:47] Hina**
* Sugawara-san compliments me*
* a lot if I make it!*
**[04:52] Kage**
Hey, Hinata.
**[04:55] Kage**
Well done...
**[04:56] Hina**
Are you my boss?
**[04:59] Suga**
Hinata's so sharp! Damn!
**[05:01] Suga**
And Kageyama's playing like a fish in water.
**[05:06] Tsuki**
Kageyama...
**[05:07] Yama**
..."Tobiuo".
**[05:07] Yama**
(Tobiuo = flying fish)
**[05:08] Kinda**
Damn it.
**[05:09] Oikawa**
All right, calm down.
**[05:12] Oikawa**
There's no need for us to panic
and break down for them.
**[05:15] Oikawa**
We just have to get one back,
and we'll be fine.
**[05:19] Kinda**
Right!
**[05:20] Iwa**
Hey, that facial expression
and pose piss me off, so stop.
**[05:24] Oikawa**
So rude!
**[05:30] Kinda**
Iwaizumi-san, nice receive!
**[05:35] Coach**
* Kageyama has apparently*
* regained his usual rhythm.*
**[05:36] Kage**
I'm sorry...
**[05:37] Tanaka**
Don't mind!
**[05:39] ---**
*No, that's not all...*
**[05:42] Coach**
* He was only concerned about*
* the opponent's block.*
**[05:42] Kage**
I should have made it go
towards the side a little.
**[05:45] Tana**
Don't worry. They were all good serves.
**[05:45] ---**
* Now, just slightly, his concern is*
* for his teammates as well.*
**[05:48] Kage**
Thank you.
**[05:56] Coach**
*All right... Don't hold back.*
**[05:58] Coah**
*If we don't get this set, it's hopeless.*
**[06:01] Coach**
* Make sure you use that freak*
* quick as much as possible!*
**[06:01] Iwa**
Kunimi, nice serve!
**[06:04] Tana**
All right!
**[06:06] Suga**
Nice receive!
**[06:08] Suga**
* Kageyama told Hinata that if he's around,*
* Hinata would be the best...*
**[06:17] Suga**
*But even with you...*
**[06:23] Suga**
*You, with Hinata's attacks...*
**[06:26] ---**
*You're the best.*
**[06:28] Blonde**
All right! They broke 20 points first!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[06:31] Glasses**
Now it's the final scene...
**[06:37] Hina**
That hurt, you idiot!
**[06:37] Coach**
*All right, we're in the 20's.*
**[06:39] Kage**
I'm driving some spirit into you!
**[06:41] ---**
*I guess our issue might be over there.*
**[06:46] Tana**
Why did it turn into
Tsukishima versus Kageyama?!
**[06:50] Tana**
One more!
**[06:51] Sawa**
Hinata, nice serve!
**[06:54] Hana**
Net in!
**[06:56] Sawa**
Chance ball!
**[06:57] Iwa**
Mattsun, nice cover!
**[06:57] Sawa**
Kageyama!
**[07:02] Karasu**
All right!
**[07:04] Kage**
How would you like the toss?
**[07:06] Azu**
A bit higher would be great.
**[07:07] Kage**
Got it!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[07:10] Karasu**
All right!
**[07:10] Blonde**
I guess even Seijoh would
call a time-out after that.
**[07:18] Matsu**
When #10 falls back and when #11 moves up,
**[07:21] ---**
the number of times Karasuno uses
the center decreases, doesn't it?
**[07:24] Oikawa**
Yeah. Simply put, I think that Tobio
doesn't get along with the giant.
**[07:29] Oikawa**
In yesterday's match,
**[07:31] ---**
as well as today's, they don't seem
to be communicating very well.
**[07:34] Oikawa**
I think that out of all
of Karasuno's spikers,
**[07:37] ---**
Tobio has the hardest time
accommodating that giant.
**[07:40] Matsu**
I really don't want to be friends with you.
**[07:43] Oikawa**
Why?!
**[07:44] Hana**
You seem like you'd use
our weaknesses against us.
**[07:46] Oikawa**
Why would I use my teammates'
weaknesses against them?!
**[07:50] Enno**
* I think that Sugawara-san makes*
* sure to pay attention to all of*
**[07:52] Suga**
Tsukishima, I think you're
jumping too soon for the block.
**[07:55] ---**
Hold back a little.
**[07:55] ---**
* the spikers' expressions as well*
* as how they're doing that day.*
**[07:56] Tsuki**
Understood.
**[07:58] Suga**
Yamaguchi, make sure you
clearly call everything.
**[07:59] Yama**
Right.
**[08:01] Tsuki**
What?
**[08:03] Kage**
*He may have asked me to read his expression,*
**[08:06] ---**
* but I don't see anything other*
* than a face pisses me off.*
**[08:08] Suga**
Kageyama.
**[08:10] Suga**
First, you need to have
a conversation. Talk.
**[08:12] Suga**
Especially with Tsukishima,
communication is key.
**[08:18] Kage**
Right...
**[08:25] Person**
Got it!
**[08:30] Glasses**
He picked it up! Here comes the counter!
**[08:31] Oikawa**
Nice receive!
**[08:33] Iwa**
Left!
**[08:33] Coach**
Tsukishima's not hitting
it with all he's got.
**[08:39] Glasses**
They caught up!
**[08:40] Blonde**
Damn, they're tied now.
**[08:42] Yuuko**
A break!
**[08:43] Haru**
Yeah, totally.
**[08:44] Coafh**
Sensei.
**[08:45] Teach**
Right.
**[08:48] Seijoh**
All right!
**[08:49] Person**
Maybe they lack attack power, after all.
**[08:52] Person**
Karasuno not having #10 here would be rough.
**[08:56] Coach**
Come on, your faces! They're all tense!
**[09:01] Coach**
Calm down and go! Your moves are great!
**[09:03] Tanaka**
Yeah.
**[09:05] Kage**
Hey.
**[09:08] Kage**
How was that toss, damn it?
**[09:13] Tsuki**
Why are you talking like Tanaka-san?
**[09:15] Tanaka**
What was that, damn it?
**[09:18] Tsuki**
It's like you're saying, "Shut up, and hit
this toss, you commoner," and it pisses me off.
**[09:22] Kage**
What?!
**[09:23] Suga**
*Dang it, Tsukishima...*
**[09:25] ---**
*You sound like a kid. Stop picking fights!*
**[09:29] Kage**
What do you mean by that?
**[09:33] Tsuki**
I have my own way of doing things,
**[09:35] ---**
so I'd rather you keep
your tosses consistent.
**[09:39] Teach**
Um, what does that mean?
**[09:41] Coach**
I'm assuming that when Kageyama
sets an A-quick to Tsukishima,
**[09:45] ---**
the course it should go in is
being determined by the toss.
***SIGN*** Cross
**[09:48] Coach**
If the ball is about a ball's width
away and center, it's a cross,
**[09:52] Coach**
and if it's further, it's a turn.
***SIGN*** Turn
**[09:55] Coach**
Kageyama is, of course, setting it
where he thinks it'll succeed the best,
**[09:59] Coach**
but I think Tsukshima is having
a hard time hitting those.
**[10:03] Tsuki**
You're not the only one thinking.
**[10:06] Tsuki**
"The shape of the opponent's defense."
**[10:09] ---**
"The best attacks I've been doing today."
**[10:11] ---**
We're all thinking about that.
**[10:14] Tsuki**
Even Hinata has started thinking enough
to use normal quicks now, right?
**[10:20] Tsuki**
Though just barely.
**[10:21] Hina**
What'd you mean by that?!
What do you mean, "just barely"?!
**[10:24] Suga**
Now, now....
**[10:25] Kage**
All right.
**[10:27] Tsuki**
You're rather agreeable today.
**[10:29] ---**
You feeling okay?
**[10:31] Kage**
We're just going to have to try and find out.
**[10:39] Suga**
* Tsukishima's probably not used*
* to people who face him head on,*
**[10:42] Sawa**
We're taking this set, no matter what!
**[10:43] ---**
*and he can't run from that.*
**[10:45] Karasu**
Right!
**[10:48] Tana**
Nice, Noya-san!
**[10:50] (Flashback) Tsuki**
I have my own way of doing things,
**[10:53] (Flashback) ---**
so I'd like you to keep
your tosses consistent.
**[11:01] Matsu**
*A feint!*
**[11:03] Nari**
Yeah! He got over the block!
**[11:07] Kino**
He totally did it!
**[11:08] ---**
*How annoying!*
**[11:11] Enno**
I thought that he was going to hit
it hard up until the end.
**[11:14] Suga**
Nice! Tsukishima's lively after
getting through the opponent's guard.
**[11:18] Hina**
"Lively"?
**[11:19] Yama**
It's hard to see, but that expression
he has means he's pretty into it.
**[11:22] Hina**
Oh.
**[11:25] Tana**
Chance ball!
**[11:29] Watari**
*Another feint!*
**[11:32] Iwa**
Nice, Watari.
**[11:33] Sawa**
It's coming back!
**[11:34] Sawa**
Chance ball!
**[11:34] Person**
#11's pretty good.
**[11:36] Person**
But Seijoh's block is pretty high, so
I think they're avoiding a straight-on attack.
**[11:41] Person**
With a feint, you can sort of run away.
**[11:44] Person**
Looks like #11 is running away
from the blocks after all.
**[11:49] Azu**
All right!
**[11:54] Oikawa**
Nice, Mattsun.
**[11:55] Coach**
* Damn it. They're taking back*
* one point after another.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[11:59] Iwa**
Center, #11!
**[12:03] Watari**
*Again? All right! This time I'll get it!*
**[12:06] Iwa**
Nice receive, Watari!
**[12:08] Oikawa**
All right!
**[12:09] Kinda**
Center!
**[12:14] Sawa**
Tanaka, nice receive!
**[12:15] Kinda**
Damn it!
**[12:17] Blonde**
Be careful!
**[12:17] Tanaka**
Sorry, it's a bit short! Cover!
**[12:19] Glasses**
They really need to get this.
**[12:21] ---**
Will it go to the ace after all?
**[12:26] Tsuki**
*We're all thinking about that.*
**[12:31] Watari**
*#11 again!*
**[12:33] Coach**
No! Don't go out too far!
**[12:41] Nishi**
All right!
**[12:42] Tana**
You piss me off, you know that?
**[12:46] Coach**
They're being too cautious about the feints,
**[12:48] ---**
so our defense is being
concentrated up front.
**[12:50] Watari**
I'm sorry!
**[12:51] ---**
They got us.
**[12:51] Iwa**
It's all right. Next time!
**[12:54] Kage**
Kn-Knife... Nuff... Nice.
**[12:58] Tanak**
Don't mess up that line, Kageyama!
**[13:00] Azu**
Wow. Kageyama complimented Tsukishima.
**[13:05] Sawa**
*Kageyama is definitely changing, as well.*
**[13:08] Tana**
How much do you suck at compliments?!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[13:13] Person**
Karasuno's at set point.
**[13:15] Person**
Seriously?!
**[13:16] Hinata**
Just one more point!
**[13:17] Yama**
Just one more point!
**[13:23] Iwa**
We won't let you have it!
**[13:25] Aoba**
Go, go, go, Hajime!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[13:27] Aoba**
Push it, push it, Hajime! One more!
**[13:28] Teach**
It'll be fine!
**[13:30] Teach**
One point!
**[13:31] Teach**
If we can get this one point,
like we usually do, this set will be ours!
**[14:05] (Flashback) Person**
Congratulations.
***SIGN*** Best Setter Award
Oikawa Toru
**[14:08] Iwa**
The third year of junior high,
**[14:11] ---**
our last tournament...
**[14:13] (Flashback) Iwa**
That's a rare smile, with no ulterior motive.
**[14:15] (Flashback) Oikawa**
My smile is always straightforward and pure.
**[14:18] (Flashback) Iwa**
"Straightforward and pure" coming
from you is already impure.
**[14:22] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Of course I'm happy!
It's the first time I've received this.
**[14:26] Iwa**
Oikawa Toru, overall,
is a pretty silly guy,
**[14:30] Iwa**
but there was a time that
he wasn't smiling.
**[14:34] Iwa**
He had a more athletic build than others.
**[14:36] Iwa**
He was also blessed with natural ability.
**[14:39] Iwa**
Especially when he began junior high,
**[14:41] ---**
the way he matured was
way ahead of the flock.
***SIGN*** Miyagi Prefecture Junior High Newcomer Volleyball Tournament
**[14:44] Iwa**
Even then, there were walls
that he could not climb.
**[14:49] Iwa**
Thanks to the Young Giant Ushiwaka,
Shiratorizawa Academy Junior High
**[14:54] ---**
was eventually known as
the best in the prefecture.
**[14:59] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Why can't we win?!
**[15:02] Iwa**
When we fought them, we lost.
**[15:04] Iwa**
We couldn't even get one set.
**[15:07] Iwa**
We tried to go higher, to a higher stage,
**[15:10] ---**
but we were thwarted until our
third year in junior high.
**[15:14] ---**
Then...
**[15:16] (Flashback) Kage**
My name is Kageyama Tobio and I came
from Akiyama Elementary School.
**[15:19] (Flashback) ---**
I've been playing volleyball
since the second grade.
**[15:21] (Flashback) Kage**
It's a pleasure to be working with you!
**[15:24] Iwa**
A genius appeared at his back,
**[15:27] Iwa**
and his talent shone
with astonishing brightness.
**[15:31] Iwa**
More than anything, it appeared that
he was very happy to be touching the ball.
**[15:36] Iwa**
Plus, the way he was able to handle the ball
was on a totally different level than others.
**[15:41] (Flashback) Kita**
We'll have him play the basic positions,
but he'll be a setter some day.
**[15:46] (Flashback) Person**
Indeed.
**[15:48] Iwa**
After that, Oikawa ended up
practicing even harder.
**[15:54] (Flashback) Iwa**
You're overworking yourself!
**[15:56] (Flashback) Iwa**
The coach just warned you
about that yesterday!
**[16:02] (Flashback) Iwa**
If you get hurt, everything
will be pointless, you dumbass!
**[16:04] (Flashback) Iwa**
Come on, you're done. Stretch!
**[16:07] Iwa**
He seemed to be panicking.
**[16:09] Iwa**
That panic surfaced in a practice
match in the form of an
**[16:13] ---**
unbelieveable amount of combo misses.
**[16:16] Iwa**
And then...
**[16:21] (Flashback) Coach**
Kageyama, give it a shot.
**[16:22] (Flashback) Kage**
Yes, sir.
**[16:23] (Flashback) Person**
Okay!
**[16:26] (Flashback) Iwa**
Front! Front!
**[16:28] (Flashback) Kage**
Got it.
**[16:30] (Flashback) Person**
Nice cover!
**[16:32] (Flashback) Iwa**
Nice key!
**[16:33] (Flashback) Person**
Nice serve!
**[16:45] (Flashback) Kage**
Oikawa-san.
**[16:48] (Flashback) Kage**
Please show me how to serve.
**[16:57] Oikawa**
*Get away.*
**[16:59] Oikawa**
*Get away.*
**[17:02] Oikawa**
*Get away.*
**[17:03] Oikawa**
*Don't come over here!*
**[17:11] (Flashback) Iwa**
Calm down, you dumbass!
**[17:16] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Sorry...
**[17:18] (Flashback) Iwa**
Kageyama, I'm sorry,
but we're done for today.
**[17:21] (Flashback) Kage**
Oh, okay...
**[17:27] (Flashback) Iwa**
The change-up today was to cool your head.
**[17:32] (Flashback) Iwa**
You need to have some more composure!
**[17:36] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Right now, I can't win against Shiratorizawa,
**[17:39] (Flashback) ---**
so there's no way I can have composure!
**[17:41] (Flashback) Oikawa**
I want to win and go to nationals.
**[17:43] (Flashback) Oikawa**
To win, I need to...
**[17:46] (Flashback) Iwa**
"I" this, "I" that. It's annoying!
**[17:51] (Flashback) Iwa**
Do you think you're fighting by yourself?!
**[17:54] (Flashback) Iwa**
You've got to be kidding, you dumbass!
**[17:56] (Flashback) Iwa**
If you think how you're doing equals
how the team will do, I'll punch you!
**[18:00] (Flashback) Oikawa**
You already did!
**[18:02] (Flashback) Iwa**
There's no one on our team who
can beat Ushiwaka one-on-one!
**[18:06] (Flashback) Iwa**
However...
**[18:07] (Flashback) Iwa**
There are *six* players on a volleyball court!
**[18:12] (Flashback) Iwa**
Even if our opponent's some
genius first-year, or Ushiwaka,
**[18:15] (Flashback) Iwa**
the team with the better six
is stronger, you dumbass!
**[18:21] (Flashback) Oikawa**
"The team with the better six is stronger."
**[18:27] (Flashback) Iwa**
Sorry, did I headbutt you too hard?
**[18:32] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Well, how do I put this?
**[18:36] (Flashback) Oikawa**
I suddenly feel invincible.
**[18:38] (Flashback) Oikawa**
More importanty, Iwa-chan,
is "dumbass" the only insult you've got?
**[18:42] (Flashback) Iwa**
Want me to make your nose bleed
from the right side, too?
**[18:47] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Nice course!
**[18:48] (Flashback) ---**
One more!
**[18:50] (Flashback) Coach**
I don't know how to put it, but it
looks like Oikawa's gotten over it.
**[18:54] (Flashback) Person**
Yes.
**[18:55] (Flashback) Kage**
Oikawa-san, please show me
the basics of a serve toss.
**[18:58] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Heck no, you idiot! Idiot!
**[19:00] (Flashback) Iwa**
Oikawa! Stop picking fights
with the first-years!
**[19:04] Iwa**
*Our last tournament in junior high...*
***SIGN*** Kitagawa-Daiichi Shiratorizawa
**[19:07] Iawa**
We fought against Shiratorizawa Junior High,
**[19:10] ---**
and were able to get our first set.
**[19:12] Iwa**
We ended up in second place
behind Shiratorizawa.
***SIGN*** Best Setter Award Oikawa Toru
**[19:15] Iwa**
Oikawa was given the Best Setter Award.
**[19:19] (Flashback) Oikawa**
This award is proof that our
spikers gave it all they had.
**[19:24] (Flashback) Iwa**
Does that mean Ushiwaka's even higher?
**[19:29] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Once we get into high school,
**[19:32] (Flashback) ---**
that's when...
**[19:34] (Flashback) ---**
we'll show Shiratorizawa who's boss!
**[19:37] (Flashback) Iwa**
Naturally.
**[19:39] (Flashback) Oikawa**
And Tobio-chan,
**[19:41] (Flashback) Oikawa**
I don't know where you'll
be headed after this,
**[19:44] (Flashback) Oikawa**
but I'm gonna crush you,
so you better be prepared.
**[19:48] (Flashback) Iwa**
Blow your nose before saying your line!
**[19:51] (Flashback) Kage**
Would you like a tissue?
**[19:52] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Shut up!
**[19:53] Aoba**
Go, go, go! Go, go, Seijoh!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[19:58] Sawa**

**[19:58] Aoba**
Push it, push it, push it! Push it, Seijoh!
**[20:00] Iwa**
Nice serve!
**[20:00] Hana**
Nice serve!
**[20:01] Teach**
Now we have Oikawa-kun serving...
**[20:04] Iwa**
The second opponent you want to show
who's boss is right in front of you...
**[20:11] Iwa**
You can give it all you've got.
**[20:13] Oikawa**
I know.
**[20:18] Aoba**
Go!
**[20:22] Sawa**
Nishinoya!
**[20:25] Glasses**
It went up!
**[20:27] Blonde**
Yeah! But it's going to go
right back to Seijoh's side.
**[20:31] Nishi**
* If they miss a serve here, they'd be losing*
* this set, and yet he served like that...*
**[20:35] Nishi**
*He's amazing!*
**[20:37] Watari**
Chance ball!
**[20:40] Tsuki**
* The receive went perfectly*
* back to the setter.*
**[20:42] Tsuki**
* The highest probability is that they'll*
* use a quick attack from the center.*
**[20:48] Kage**
*It probably is. I know that's what I'd do...*
**[20:51] Kage**
* But in this stage where they're being*
* pushed into a corner, Oikawa-san...*
**[20:57] Kage**
*will set it to Iwaizumi-san!*
**[21:10] Three**
All right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[21:13] Person**
Seriously?
**[21:14] Person**
Karasuno got the set back.
**[21:16] Iwa**
Damn it! I'm sorry!
**[21:18] Hana**
Don't mind!
**[21:19] Iwa**
Why are you laughing? I'll punch you!
**[21:22] Oikawa**
Stop saying you'll hit me
all the time, Iwa-chan.
**[21:25] Iwa**
Don't worry. I'd only say that
to you, and I won't hit you.
**[21:30] Oikawa**
Right then, doing a quick attack from the
center would have been the cliché move.
**[21:35] Iwa**
What?
**[21:37] Oikawa**
But apparently Tobio was able to read
that I'd send to the left.
**[21:39] Nishi**
Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[21:42] Oikawa**
Do you understand what this means?
**[21:44] Oikawa**
It means it's come down to
not only methodical thinking,
**[21:47] ---**
but, in the end, our effort, as well.
**[21:50] Oikawa**
My perfect trust with you, Iwa-chan.
**[21:53] Iwa**
Like I'd ever want that with you.
**[21:55] Oikawa**
That just means they were making
rather comprehensive decisions.
**[22:00] Oikawa**
What did Mr. Refreshing
**[22:03] ---**
tell Tobio?
**[22:06] Oikawa**
The dictator king is somehow
trying to become a decent king.
**[22:11] Oikawa**
What is this?
**[22:13] Oikawa**
I'm really pissed off, and yet...
**[22:21] Oikawa**
Hurry! Let's hurry up and finish
**[22:24] Oikawa**
the final set!

**[24:03] Iwa**
That's rare.

**[01:56] Tana**
Nice receive!
**[01:59] Kinda**
*#10!*
**[02:02] (Flashback) Iwa**
They've probably changed to different
signs for their god-like quicks.
**[02:06] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Because they're such simple signs,
it would be pretty easy to change them.
**[02:11] (Flashback) Kinda**
Still, there's got to be a
way to tell them apart.
**[02:13] (Flashback) Matsu**
Maybe when they keep their eye on
the ball longer, it's a normal quick,
**[02:17] (Flashback) Matsu**
and when they just go for it,
it'll be the god-like quick?
**[02:20] (Flashback) Hana**
In general, it's probably best
if we keep our eyes on #10.
**[02:23] (Flashback) Kinda**
Right.
**[02:25] (Flashback) Person**
#10...
**[02:25] (Flashback) Oikawa**
But, in the end, the shrimp
is just efficient decoy.
**[02:28] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Don't forget that. Okay?
**[02:31] (Flashback) Kinda**
Right!
**[02:31] (Flashback) All**
Right!
**[02:31] (Flashback) Kind**
All right!
**[02:39] Kage**
*We can't get the shot that will end this.*
**[02:41] Glasses**
This rally is going on forever.
**[02:43] Blonde**
Overall, Seijoh's better
at everything, but...
**[02:47] Sawa**
A feint!
**[02:49] Blonde**
...their libero has far
better defensive skills.
**[02:50] Nishi**
All right!
**[02:52] Nishi**
Asahi-san!
**[02:57] Person**
The setter received that?!
**[02:58] Person**
Now he can't toss!
**[03:00] Person**
He'll have to attack now.
**[03:02] Person**
Probably to the left.
**[03:04] Oikawa**
Watacchi!
**[03:05] Watari**
Right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[03:13] Seijoh**
All right!
**[03:14] Coach**
I've been wondering this, but...
**[03:17] Teach**
Hm?
**[03:18] Coach**
I think Seijoh's libero
**[03:19] Coach**
was formerly a setter.
**[03:22] Teach**
What do you mean?
**[03:22] Watari**
Thanks!
**[03:25] Coach**
If the libero lifts the ball
from in front of the attack line,
**[03:29] Coach**
it's illegal to do an overhand
spike from behind the line.
**[03:33] Coach**
Just now, that libero jumped
up at the very edge of the line
**[03:36] ---**
and set while in midair.
**[03:38] Coach**
Which means, a spike was totally fine.
**[03:41] Coach**
They can use high-level attacks.
**[03:43] Teach**
This is why they call
Aoba Johsai a powerhouse.
**[03:51] Sawa**
All right!
**[03:52] Tana**
Daichi-san, nice receive!
**[03:53] Kage**
Asahi-san!
**[03:58] Sawa**
The ball's going back!
**[03:59] Hina**
I'll push it over!
**[04:10] Seijoh**
All right!
**[04:12] Kage**
*He did a toss that close to the edge...*
**[04:17] Hina**
Awesome.
**[04:22] Coach**
All right! You're all fighting well!
**[04:25] ---**
Keep cool!
**[04:26] Karasu**
Right!
**[04:27] Coach**
It looks like they're getting used
to attacks that cut into the middle,
**[04:31] Coach**
so use the sides of the
court as much as you can!
**[04:34] Karasu**
Right!
**[04:35] Suga**
* What's with the lack of*
* holes in Seijoh's attacks?*
**[04:39] Suga**
*No matter what situation they're put in,*
**[04:41] ---**
* they're able to counter with powerful*
* attacks, like it's nothing.*
**[04:45] Sawa**
Let's go!
**[04:46] Kara**
Right!
**[04:47] Coach**
*Because Sugawara went in once,*
**[04:49] ---**
* Karasuno was definitely able*
* to pick itself back up.*
**[04:52] Coach**
*Now they're not nervous or overly aggressive.*
**[04:55] Coach**
* Right now, everyone's probably using*

**[05:08] Iwa**
Damn it...
**[05:10] Tana**
Nice, Tsukishima!
**[05:11] ---**
You keep showing up with that annoying
feint when everyone's forgotten about it.
**[05:14] Tsuki**
Phrasing...
**[05:15] Teach**
With every player performing
at 100% of their ability,
**[05:16] Sawa**
Come on! Talk more!
**[05:18] Nishi**
Keep it up!
**[05:18] ---**
Seijoh is probably the stronger team.
**[05:21] Teach**
But sometimes they'll only use 70%
and then bounce up to 120% of their ability.
**[05:29] Teach**
That's how things can play out
during a match, right?
**[05:33] Teach**
And Karasuno has the ultimate decoy
who can let everyone attack at 120% of their ability.
**[05:41] Hinata**
*Awesome. Awesome. Seijoh's awesome!*
**[05:44] Hinata**
*Out. Out! I want to hurry and get out.*
**[05:46] Hinata**
*I want to hurry and go out. Out! Out!*
**[05:48] Suga**
Hinata.
**[05:49] Hinata**
Yes?
**[05:50] Suga**
Do you remember what Ukai-san said?
**[05:52] Hinata**
About attacking both sides of the
court as much as possible?
**[05:55] Suga**
Right. *That's* the best attack.
**[05:59] Suga**
We haven't used *that* much this time around.
**[06:06] Oikawa**
Yes!
**[06:07] Oikawa**
*This sucks.*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[06:09] Oikawa**
Our team is settling into a rhythm, and yet
**[06:13] Oikawa**
* if that little sucky guy*
* enters the court...*
**[06:18] Oikawa**
*I can't help but be uneasy about that.*
**[06:21] Oikawa**
* A small beast that's gathered its*
* frustrations while in the warm up zone.*
**[06:27] Suga**
*Karasuno is fighting back in the final set,*
**[06:28] Yama**
One more!
**[06:28] Nishi**
Go! One more!
**[06:29] Yama**
Go, Shoyo!
**[06:32] Suga**
*yet we don't stand a chance against Seijoh.*
**[06:35] Suga**
* If we're going to get even*
* one step ahead of them,*
**[06:39] Sug**
*it'll be up to them.*
**[06:41] Suga**
*Give Karasuno that one step!*

Nice receive!

Left! Left!
**[06:48] Iwa**
Two blocks!

Got it!
**[07:46] Haruka**
The ball's not coming down. So amazing.

Nice cover, Makki!

That little guy's amazing.
**[08:04] Glasses**
Volleyball, more than anything,
**[08:05] ---**
is a sport where you keep
jumping continuously,
**[08:08] Glasses**
so I believe it's also a battle with gravity.
**[08:10] Glasses**
Jumping as decoy,
**[08:12] ---**
jumping to block,
**[08:13] ---**
and jumping to spike.
**[08:16] Sawa**
Nishinoya, nice cover!
**[08:18] Glasses**
As the rally keeps going,
**[08:20] Tanaka**
Go back! Go back!
One more! One more!
**[08:22] ---**
fatigue sets in and your mental faculties decline.
**[08:22] Iwa**
Left, left!
**[08:23] Oikawa**
We're gonna stop them one more time!
**[08:25] Glasses**
To be honest, you want
to skip the blocking,
**[08:28] Glasses**
and I've had times where I hoped
someone else would spike it.
**[08:32] Blonde**
When long rallies continue and I get
deprived of oxygen, I think,
**[08:37] Blonde**
"Hurry up and drop, ball...
Preferably on the other side."
**[08:41] Hina**
Bring it!
**[08:46] Hina**
* If I slow down even for a moment,*
* it'll delay everyone else.*
**[08:51] Hina**
* At my height, if I ease off*
* on my jumps even a little,*
**[08:54] Hina**
*I'll be shot down in an instant.*
**[08:58] Hina**
*Run! Run!*
**[09:00] Hina**
*Jump! Jump!*
**[09:02] Hina**
*If you want to stay here!*
**[09:04] Iwa**
Like hell
**[09:06] Iwa**
am I going to let you spike freely!
**[09:10] Kage**
*Right now, the sides of the court...*
**[09:14] Kage**
*And then...*
**[09:18] Kage**
*Break through the middle!*
**[09:23] Both**
Pipe penetration!
**[09:25] All**
Nice point!
**[09:26] Suga**
Hinata!
**[09:29] Iwa**
Damn it!
**[09:30] Matsu**
Sorry. I totally got lured out.
**[09:34] Kage**
* I knew that this would be the*
* perfect timing for a pipe,*
**[09:39] Kage**
*and yet... just now...*
**[09:42] Kage**
*I was about to toss to Hinata.*
**[09:44] Kage**
*I was about to have my toss taken.*
**[09:45] Azu**
Nice determination, Hinata!

*The ultimate... decoy.*

They're tied.

**[09:57] Shi**
Thanks.
**[09:58] Sawa**
Thanks.
**[10:05] Yama**
* The rallies are lasting a lot longer*

*I'm jealous.*
**[10:17] Hana**
What are we going to do
about #10's broad cross?
**[10:25] Person**
Let's get rid
**[10:29] Person**
of that broad cross.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[10:50] Sawa**
Tanaka, nice point!
**[10:53] Kage**
* In the next rotation,*
* Hinata will be in the back line.*
**[10:56] Kage**
Hey! Are you all right?
**[10:58] Hina**
I-I'm fine...
**[11:01] Kage**
Make sure you cash in all you've got
before moving into the back line.
**[11:04] Mata**
I know that!
**[11:05] Mata**
Kunimi, nice receive!
**[11:06] Oikawa**
Kindachi!
**[11:07] Azuma**
#12! #12!
**[11:10] Sawa**
Nishinoya, nice receive!
**[11:11] Hina**
*Chance!*
**[11:12] Blonde**
Is he going to do another
broad... or wait... Huh?
**[11:18] Glasses**
No mark?
**[11:19] Blonde**
Did they give up on the block?
**[11:21] Tana**
All right! Go free, Hinata!
**[11:30] Watari**
*I can see really well.*
**[11:33] Iwa**
Nice receive!
**[11:34] Sawa**
*Was there no mark on purpose?!*
**[11:36] Azu**
*In this short amount of time...*
**[11:37] Azu**
* Just how fast at*
* switching gears are they?*
**[11:45] Both**
Now a dump?!
**[11:47] Coach**
* A dump attack taking advantage*
* of our moment of hesitation.*
**[11:52] (Flashback) Iri**
Let's get rid of that broad.
**[11:54] (Flashback) ---**
Get rid of it? How?
**[11:56] (Flashback) Oikawa**
That shrimp's broad is god-like.
**[12:00] (Flashback) Oikawa**
It's really fast, but his
body will go with the momentum,
**[12:04] (Flashback) Oikawa**
so he won't be able to redirect the ball.
**[12:07] (Flashback) Iri**
Yeah.
**[12:09] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Instead of blocking that
broad cross, we'll use a dig.
**[12:12] (Flashback) Watari**
Right!
**[12:13] (Flashback) Iwa**
An unstoppable block is just going to
get in the way of receiving the ball.
**[12:18] (Flashback) Iri**
No matter how difficult things get,
don't forget to think and communicate!
**[12:23] Oikawa**
Nice receive!
**[12:25] Coach**
* We can't even bring Seijoh*
* down with that!*
**[12:28] Coach**
* Damn. Right when we don't*
* want them to get ahead,*
**[12:31] Coach**
*his turn to serve comes up.*

Right!
***SIGN*** Rule the Court
**[12:44] Seijoh**
Net in! All right! Lucky!

There's nothing you could have
done about that. Move on.

Damn it. We're two points behind again.
**[12:53] Sawa**
Stay calm.
**[13:00] Nishi**
Sorry! Cover!
**[13:02] Both**
All right!

**[13:04] Sawa**
Kageyama!
**[13:05] Sawa**
Asahi, last!
**[13:07] Blonde**
That was close!
**[13:09] Kamo**
Calm down! Don't lose your cool!
**[13:16] Haru**
This isn't ending any time soon...
**[13:19] Glasses**
When you make it through a long rally,
**[13:21] ---**
you can shift the game's momentum.
**[13:23] Glasses**
With this rally, getting that one
point will be crucial.
**[13:28] Sawa**
Cover!
**[13:30] Azu**
* I'm not going to let you have it...*
* the point, or our momentum!*
**[13:34] Glasses**
It connected!
**[13:34] Blonde**
But who'll get the last hit?
**[13:36] Hina**
Center!
**[13:38] Nishi**
Shoyo, we're counting on you!
**[13:41] All**
Break through!
**[13:43] All**
Stop him!
**[13:50] Three**
All right!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[13:54] Blonde**
Damn. They've used up their two timeouts.
**[13:58] Kamo**
It can't be helped.
**[14:00] Kamo**
They've got to physically break
that momentum with a timeout,
**[14:02] Kamo**
or Seijoh's going to take control.
**[14:05] Blonde**
A-At times like this,
your voice is important!
**[14:06] Coach**
*Something... Isn't there something?*
**[14:07] Blonde**
Make sure you're using your voice!
**[14:08] ---**
*Something to change the momentum?*
**[14:09] Blonde**
Go, go, Karasuno!
**[14:09] Glasses**
Push it, push it, Karasuno!
**[14:10] Coach**
* It doesn't have to be a trump card.*
* Just something...*
**[14:12] Blonde**
Hey, first it's "go, go."
**[14:12] Coach**
*Anything to give us a change.*
**[14:14] Blonde**
Match me!
**[14:25] Blonde**
Seijoh touched net. Thank goodness!
**[14:26] Kinda**
I'm sorry.
**[14:27] Iwa**
Don't mind.
**[14:29] ---**
But...
**[14:30] Oikawa**
*The shrimp's on the back line!*
**[14:32] Nishi**
We're counting on you.
**[14:33] Tsuki**
Right.
**[14:35] Glasses**
If they miss here, Seijoh will
have the advantage at 20 points.
**[14:35] Sawa**
Hinata, relax!
**[14:36] Hina**
Right!
**[14:38] Glasses**
If they take the momentum,
we won't be able to catch up.
**[14:42] Blonde**
Hey, Shimada, look at that.
**[14:49] Glasses**
T-Tadashi's the pinch server?!
**[14:54] Glasses**
What is Keishin thinking?!
He's an idiot!
**[14:57] Glasses**
I told him that it's still mostly pure luck!
**[15:00] Blonde**
I think he wants even that pure luck.
**[15:04] Blonde**
You don't know what's going
to change the momentum.
**[15:10] Hana**
Karasuno's got a pinch server?
**[15:12] Watari**
Are they good at serves?
**[15:13] ---**
Or are they just simply trying
to change the atmosphere?
**[15:16] Iwa**
Either way, we're not giving you this flow.
**[15:20] Hina**
Yamaguchi, nice serve!
**[15:22] Hina**
But I'm not gonna lose!
**[15:25] Yama**
* He doesn't want to be pulled*
* out, even for a moment.*
**[15:28] Coach**
Yamaguchi.
**[15:29] Goach**
Go and change the momentum.
**[15:31] Yama**
R-Right!
**[15:33] Yama**
*This line...*
**[15:36] Yama**
* Everything beyond this*
* line is a different world.*
**[15:44] Yama**
* It feels like the temperature*

**[15:52] Tana**
You got a great spot, Yamaguchi!
**[15:54] Yama**
Right!
**[15:55] Sawa**
Blast them one, Yamaguchi!
**[15:57] Kage**
Nice serve!
**[15:58] Asahi**
N-Nice serve. Take it easy.
**[16:01] Sawa**
Asahi, do you understand the
meaning of "take it easy"?
**[16:04] Tana**
*Anyone would be scared at this timing.*
**[16:07] Azu**
* This is his first serve at his*
* first high school match!*
**[16:10] Azu**
*Is the coach a super sadist?!*
**[16:12] Sawa**
* I'm nervous, too.*
* Crap, Yamaguchi will feel that.*
**[16:14] Sawa**
*Stay calm...*
**[16:16] Kage**
* I think the back of my head is a little*
* safer than if Hinata was serving.*
**[16:19] En**
Is that all right?
**[16:20] En**
He already has enough reason to be nervous,
**[16:23] ---**
but won't there be more pressure
from playing with his seniors?
**[16:26] Sugi**
Oh, right.
**[16:28] Suga**
Hey, Yamaguchi!
**[16:32] All**
Hit a nice serve!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[16:47] Blonde**
Dang... He's so stiff.
**[16:49] Glsses**
It can't be helped.
**[16:51] Glasses**
Relying on your team is most of volleyball.
**[16:53] ---**
Serving is the only time you're alone.
**[16:56] Glasses**
Everyone will be looking at you,
**[16:58] Glasses**
and you've got all the pressure.
**[17:00] Yama**
*I'm scared... but...*
**[17:03] Glasses**
But when you're standing in the serve
position, you're the center of attention,
**[17:07] ---**
no matter who you are.
**[17:14] Yama**
*Show them...*

Right!

*Karasuno's mood changed?*
**[18:20] Coach**
The captain's amazing.
I'm still no match for him.
**[18:24] Tana**
Man, but I feel relieved,
like most of the pressure's gone.
**[18:28] Azu**
Same here.
**[18:29] Yuko**
Eh? So he got brought out
here because of a pinch,
**[18:32] ---**
but if he fails, he'll be pulled out?
**[18:34] Haru**
That's sort of sad.
**[18:36] Glasses**
That's the job of a pinch server.
**[18:39] Glasses**
That one shot
**[18:40] ---**
has both the game's momentum
and their pride riding on it.
**[18:44] Glasses**
And Tadashi messed up.
**[18:47] Glasses**
But this chance to feel this
regret and his own helplessness
**[18:52] ---**
will definitely make him stronger.
**[18:59] Yuko**
Did the black team cheer up of a sudden?
**[19:01] Glasses**
It's just like Tattsun says...

**[24:01] Both**
Thanks!
**[24:02] Hina**
24 vs 24... A deuce.
**[24:03] Kage**
The one who gets two points first, wins.
**[24:05] Sawa**
Of course, we'll be the ones to win.
**[24:07] All**
Yeah!

Seijoh!
**[02:29] Seijoh**
Oh, Seijoh!
**[02:33] Iwa**
Don't panic! Make sure you call out!
**[02:36] All**
Right!
**[02:37] Oikawa**
You got this, right, Kunimi-chan?
**[02:39] Kuni**
Yes.
**[02:40] Nishi**
Hey! That was awesome, Hinata, Kageyama!
**[02:48] Kage**
*So Kunimi can also chase the ball now...*
**[02:55] (Flashback) Kage**
Go after it, to the very end!
***SIGN*** Kitagawa Daichi
**[03:02] Hina**
Kageyama!
**[03:04] Hina**
I'm going to go for as many
broad attacks as possible,
**[03:07] Hina**
until I make one!
**[03:12] Sawa**
Let's go!
**[03:13] All**
Right!
**[03:16] Three**
Nice serve!
**[03:16] Enn**
We've got the momentum!
**[03:18] Sugi**
Give it all you've got, Tanaka!
**[03:20] Tana**
All right! Bring it!
**[03:23] Oikawa**
Got it!
**[03:23] Glasses**
It's a little off!
**[03:24] Kinda**
Center!
**[03:24] Blonde**
Block! Block!
***SIGN*** Fly
**[03:28] Nishi**
Chance ball!
**[03:34] Sawa**
Chance ball!
**[03:36] Hina**
One more!
**[03:42] Iwa**
Nice receive, Watari!
**[03:44] Person**
#10 is super-fast at returning.
**[03:48] Sawa**
Nice one touch!
**[03:50] Hina**
One more time!
**[03:54] Iwa**
There's no point in leaving you open,
**[03:56] Iwa**
if I know you're gonna jump!
**[04:03] Kage**
*Hinata's jumps are running out of power!*
**[04:05] ---**
*The timing's going to be off!*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[04:21] Karasuno**
All right!
**[04:24] Nishi**
Shoyo!
**[04:26] Tana**
Hinata really saved us on that one!
**[04:27] ---**
That was awesome! Great job!
**[04:30] Blonde**
This time...
**[04:31] Sawa**
We're gonna finish this in one shot!
**[04:34] Blonde**
...Karasuno is the one checkmating.
**[04:37] Oikawa**
Let's calm down. We'll get it back!
**[04:39] All**
Right!
**[04:41] Sawa**
Tanaka, one more nice serve!
**[04:43] Watari**
Hanamaki-san!
**[04:44] Hana**
All right!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[04:50] Glasses**
Even if they're tied, as long
as Seijoh doesn't pull ahead,
**[04:54] ---**
Karasuno will have the advantage.
**[04:57] ---**
Now...
**[05:01] Glasses**
And now, it's time for
Oikawa to serve again...
**[05:08] Oikawa**
*I won't let you guys attack as you wish.*
**[05:12] Oikawa**
*We're going to win.*
**[05:14] Oikawa**
*We're going to the next round.*
***SIGN*** Shiratorizawa Kitagawa Daichi
**[05:20] (Flashback) Oikawa**
This time,
**[05:22] (Flashback) ---**
we're going to crush Shiratorizawa.
**[05:30] Oikawa**
*One more, and we'll regain the advantage!*
**[05:36] Azu**
Nishinoya!
**[05:47] Sawa**
Good call, Nishinoya!
**[05:48] Nishi**
Right.
**[05:51] Person**
He missed... Oikawa missed the serve.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[05:55] Person**
Karasuno's at match point again.
**[05:57] Blonde**
If he missed a serve, when that's
**[06:00] ---**
his strong suit, maybe he's panicking a bit.
**[06:02] Glasses**
Yeah. Even Oikawa...
**[06:07] Iwa**
And that nullified it.
We each have one point now.
**[06:11] Both**
Iwaizumi-san, you're so cool!
**[06:13] Oikawa**
I feel like I've lost to Iwa-chan.
**[06:16] Iwa**
When the hell did you ever beat me?!
**[06:19] Iri**
* Usually, the weight of a point from a break*
* or a side out would be heavier.*
**[06:19] Oikawa**
Overall, I'm always a winner.
**[06:21] Oikawa**
Ow!
**[06:24] Iri**
*However, right now, the important thing is,*
**[06:25] Iwa**
All right. Let's get one.
**[06:27] Seijoh**
Right!
**[06:27] ---**
*because of Iwaizumi's point and words,*
**[06:29] Iri**
*the team was just saved from crumbling.*
**[06:33] Glasses**
Are you sure Seijoh's
never been to nationals?
**[06:38] Glasses**
They're not breaking at all.
**[06:39] Blonde**
But that doesn't change
Seijoh's position at all.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[06:42] Blonde**
Even if the physical fatigue
they're feeling is the same,
**[06:44] Blonde**
the mental fatigue that Seijoh
is feeling is much greater!
**[06:47] Blonde**
Get through this, Karasuno!
***SIGN*** Rule the Court
Aoba Johsai High School Volleyball Team
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[07:21] Haruka**
Wow...
**[07:23] Haruka**
They went over 30 points!
**[07:25] Glasses**
This is rough on both of them.
**[07:27] Blonde**
But... I think Karasuno is
just barely keeping it together.
**[07:32] Blonde**
I think their attacks are
becoming simple, too.
**[07:35] Blonde**
Seijoh should be worse off,
mentally, but...
**[07:39] Girls**
Oikawa-kun, nice serve!
**[07:42] Glasses**
Gah! That was one full rotation!
**[07:45] Hana**
Nice serve!
**[07:45] Glasses**
He'll probably have
the missed serve on his mind,
**[07:45] Watari**
One point!
**[07:48] Glasses**
so I wonder how Oikawa will do.
**[07:50] Iwa**
Oikawa, if you're staring at Ushiwaka's
face during the match, I'll punch you.
**[07:59] Iwa**
Someone who can't see the opponent
standing right in front him,
**[08:02] Iwa**
can't defeat the opponent that lies beyond!
**[08:13] Oikawa**
You're right.
**[08:16] Sawa**
We'll turn this serve around!
**[08:17] Nishi**
Right!
***SIGN*** Spring High School Volleyball
***SIGN*** King
**[08:47] Oikawa**
It's coming back! Chance ball!
**[08:49] Hana**
Got it!
**[08:50] Glasses**
*Despite the fact that he just messed up,*
**[08:53] ---**
* that was probably the best*
* serve he's done today.*
**[08:56] Sawa**
Damn it! Sorry!
**[08:57] Azu**
I'm glad you were even able
to put that serve up!
**[09:01] Hina**
*Calm down, calm down...*
**[09:01] Oikawa**
Got it!
**[09:03] ---**
*Make sure you don't jump at a decoy!*
**[09:04] Azu**
*Is it going to be a quick?*
**[09:06] ---**
* Or, considering the situation,*
* will it be an ace?*
**[09:08] Iwa**
Left!
**[09:11] Azu**
*The opposite side?!*
**[09:12] Kage**
*Again...*
**[09:14] Kage**
*It's Kunimi?!*
**[09:18] Kage**
*Kunimi!*
**[09:19] Kage**
* Even if you know it's a decoy,*
* hit it over like you mean it.*
**[09:23] Kunimi**
* But it was way obvious that they*
* were going to come up the left.*
**[09:27] Kunimi**
* There's no point in getting*
* tired for no reason.*
**[09:31] Kage**
*You're good, so why don't you play seriously?*
**[09:36] Kunimi**
* So does always being reckless*
* equal being serious?*
**[09:44] Kunimi**
Chance ball!
**[09:46] Watari**
Got it!
**[09:46] Kage**
*They still have energy to spare?*
**[09:49] Oikawa**
* Kunimi-chan, you just skipped out*
* on being decoy didn't you?*
**[09:54] (Flashback) Kuni**
I'm sor—
**[09:54] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Skip out a bit better.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Mizoguchi-kun's gonna yell at you again.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Person**
Kunimi, you idiot!
**[10:01] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Being efficient, conserving energy,
**[10:03] (Flashback) ---**
and always being calm are your
hidden weapons, Kunimi-chan.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Oikawa**
But when everyone else is exhausted,
**[10:10] (Flashback) ---**
I'll make sure you work even harder.
**[10:14] Oikawa**
*You're only the setter if you can bring out
100% of* all *your teammates' ability.*
**[10:17] Oikawa**
*No matter who the player is!*
**[10:20] Both**
*#13 again?!*
**[10:25] Three**
*A feint?!*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[10:29] Person**
Seijoh pulled ahead!
**[10:31] Person**
Seijoh's at matchpoint again!
**[10:33] Person**
Not to mention, Oikawa is serving again!
**[10:33] Seijoh**
Just one more point! Just one more point!
**[10:38] Kage**
*We were on the same team for three years,*
**[10:42] Kage**
*but today's the first time*
**[10:45] ---**
*I've ever seen him laugh normally during a match.*
**[10:49] Oikawa**
Hey, just listen...
**[10:50] Kage**
*Who the hell*
**[10:52] ---**
*are you?*
**[10:54] Kage**
*How am I supposed to face someone like you?*
**[10:56] Hina**
Kageyama...
**[10:57] ---**
Kageyama...
**[10:59] ---**
Kageyama-kun...
**[11:00] Hina**
Kageyama-san!
**[11:03] Hina**
Hey, are you freaking out? How lame!
**[11:09] Hina**
Well, it's obivious that the Great King
is going to be better than the King.
**[11:12] Hina**
It's in the names!
**[11:14] Hina**
Not to mention, he seems
way smarter than you.
**[11:17] Sawa**
Sorry, Kageyama!
**[11:19] Sawa**
I'll make sure I get the ball
back to you next time.
**[11:23] Sawa**
Then, all you need to do is
the attack you think is best.
**[11:29] Suga**
Kageyama! Stop hesitating!
**[11:32] Suga**
Everyone on our team is...
**[11:42] Kage**
...strong, as they should be.
**[11:46] Tsuki**
Do you think the King is
scared of the Great King?
**[11:52] Suga**
It's okay.
**[11:53] Suga**
Kageyama's not the Lonely King anymore.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[12:21] Seijoh**
Go, go, go! Go, go, Seijoh!
**[12:24] Seijoh**
Go, go, go! Go, go, Seijoh!
**[12:24] Nishi**
Come on, bring it!
**[12:26] Seijoh**
Push it, push it, push it!
Push it, push it, Seijoh!
**[12:26] Tanaka**
Bring it!
**[12:28] Sawa**
We're gonna get that point!
**[12:28] Seijoh**
Push it, push it, push it!
Push it, push it, Seijoh!
**[12:29] Azu**
Yeah!
**[12:34] Oikawa**
Man...
**[12:36] ---**
Talk about annoying.
**[12:39] Iwa**
Nice serve!
**[12:40] Oikawa**
Tobio...
**[12:40] Kinda**
One point!
**[12:41] ---**
I might actually lose to you,
**[12:41] Kage**
Come on, bring it!
**[12:44] ---**
considering how quickly you evolve.
**[12:51] Oikawa**
But...
**[12:58] Sawa**
Front!
**[13:02] Glasses**
It went up!
**[13:03] Blonde**
But it's messed up!
They won't be able to use a quick!
**[13:06] Coach**
* In this tense situation,*
* he still managed to find the smallest gap*
**[13:09] ---**
*and pulled off a feint.*
**[13:12] Coach**
*His calm focus on victory is terrifying.*
**[13:15] Azu**
Left!
**[13:15] Hina**
Center!
**[13:17] Kage**
Left!
**[13:18] Suga**
Asahi, go!
**[13:21] Hana**
Connect! Connect!
**[13:21] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan!
**[13:24] Take**
It went u— Ah!
**[13:26] Iwa**
Do it, Kindaichi!
**[13:28] Kinda**
*My speed and reflexes always lose to you.*
**[13:31] Kinda**
*But...*
**[13:34] Kinda**
*But in a battle of height...*
**[13:36] Kinda**
*I won't lose!*
**[13:38] Person**
It went up!
**[13:41] Kage**
All right!
**[13:42] Iwa**
Kindaichi, Kunimi!
**[13:43] Both**
Right!
**[13:44] Azu**
Left!
**[13:48] Kage**
*Now! In this position, with this timing,*
**[13:52] ---**
*this angle...*
**[13:55] Kage**
*Dead on!*
**[14:15] Oikawa**
*Tobio...*
**[14:17] ---**
*I might actually lose to you,*
**[14:20] ---**
*considering how quickly you evolve.*
**[14:23] Oikawa**
*But...*
**[14:33] Oikawa**
*That won't be today!*
**[14:42] Seijoh**
All right!
**[14:51] Suga**
Let's go.
**[14:56] Sawa**
Hinata, Kageyama, we need to line up.
**[15:03] Hina**
Captain, I'm sor—
**[15:04] Sawa**
That wasn't a mistake.
**[15:06] Sawa**
It wasn't a mistake, so don't apologize.
**[15:11] All**
Thank you very much!
**[15:39] Oikawa**
*Everyone, just listen.*
**[15:42] Oikawa**
* The next time that Karasuno looks*
* like they're going to use a quick,*
**[15:45] Oikawa**
*Tobio will use the god-like quick.*
**[15:48] Oikawa**
*Keep that in your heads.*
**[15:50] Iwa**
How did you know the last one
would be a god-like quick?
**[15:54] Oikawa**
Because Tobio evolved thanks to
all of the players in Karasuno.
**[15:59] Oikawa**
He's starting to learn how
to trust for the first time.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[16:02] Oikawa**
When the deuces continued,
**[16:03] ---**
his physical and mental
fatigue were at their peak.
**[16:06] Oikawa**
In the eleventh hour,
when they were cornered,
**[16:08] Oikawa**
it was then they were given a crucial chance.
**[16:10] Oikawa**
At that moment, Tobio...
**[16:18] Oikawa**
only had one choice.
**[16:21] Sawa**
Line up!
**[16:23] Sawa**
Thank you very much!
**[16:25] All**
Thank you very much!
**[16:35] Glasses**
Great work!
**[16:36] Blonde**
That was a great match!
**[16:45] Sawa**
Round up!
**[16:50] Blonde**
When we lost...
**[16:52] Blonde**
I hated being told we had a great match.
**[16:56] Blonde**
It was like, "but we lost."
**[16:58] Blonde**
However, being on the side to say that now,
**[17:01] ---**
I guess I don't know what else to say.
**[17:08] Hina**
Um, that last block...
**[17:14] Coach**
We need to clear out immediately.
**[17:16] ---**
The next team's warm-up is starting.
**[17:19] Coach**
We'll start our cool down
upstairs or outside.
**[17:24] Coach**
Seijoh will be going to the
quarterfinals after a short break.
**[17:44] Iwa**
"Even if one person is good,
you can't win. Don't mind."
**[17:47] Iwa**
Isn't that what you were going to tell them?
**[17:50] Oikawa**
But Karasuno had more than one
strong player, didn't they?
**[17:54] Iwa**
You're really annoying.
**[17:56] Oikawa**
How rude!
**[17:58] Oikawa**
The end of that second set...
**[18:00] ---**
When he was able to read my toss to you,
**[18:02] Oikawa**
I could tell that Tobio was trying to go
**[18:04] ---**
from being a dictator to a decent king.
**[18:08] Oikawa**
Even if Tobio had stayed a dictator,
**[18:12] ---**
he might have still tossed
to the shrimp in the end.
**[18:14] Oikawa**
I only thought it was a possibility,
**[18:17] ---**
and there was no guarantee
he was going to do it.
**[18:20] Oikawa**
He was reading my attacks, but this time,
**[18:22] ---**
he ended up having his
attack being read by me.
**[18:26] Iwa**
So Kageyama has finally
started trusting other people...
**[18:34] Oikawa**
Really...
**[18:36] ---**
Nothing could be more troublesome.
**[18:50] Hina**
The meeting's starting.
**[19:00] Kage**
Sorry.
**[19:03] Kage**
They totally read me in the end.
**[19:11] Hina**
Don't apologize!
**[19:14] Hina**
Don't... Don't make it sound like
tossing to me was a mistake!
**[19:22] Teach**
The meeting's about to start.
**[19:28] Teach**
Both of you were amazing today.
**[19:34] Hina**
But we lost...
**[19:36] Teach**
Indeed, we lost.
**[19:38] Teach**
But it was a worthwhile match, wasn't it?
**[19:46] Teach**
Does losing prove that you're weak?
**[19:50] Teach**
Isn't losing difficult for all of you?
**[19:53] Teach**
A challenge where, after ending
up on your hands and knees,
**[19:55] Teach**
you must see if you can stand-up again?
**[19:59] Teach**
If you stay on your hands and knees,
**[20:02] Teach**
that proves that you are weak.
***SIGN*** Senseki Aoba Johsai

All right, let's go get some food.

Don't worry. This used
to happen all the time.
**[22:23] Coach**
Running, jumping, and anything else
**[22:25] ---**
that stresses your muscles
will cause the fibers to tear.
**[22:29] Coach**
Right after a match, like now,
your muscle are at their limits,
**[22:33] Coach**
so you've got to repair them by eating.
**[22:36] Coach**
That's how you build muscle,
**[22:38] Coach**
and become stronger.
**[22:41] Coach**
So eat. Eat a proper meal.
**[22:48] Sawa**
Th-Thank you for the food.

Thank you for the food.

Push it, push it, push it!
Push it, push it, Seijoh!
**[03:13] School**
Shiratorizawa!
**[03:14] Oikawa**
I'm going to crush you today.
You'd better be prepared, Ushikawa-chan.
**[03:20] Ushi**
Stop calling me that, Oikawa.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Shiratorizawa
**[03:31] Person**
So hungry!
**[03:33] Person**
Let's go to the cafeteria.
**[03:34] Guy A**
Hinata, let's go eat.
**[03:40] Guy A**
By the way, I heard it was
a close match yesterday.
**[03:44] Guy A**
We lost last week in our third game, too.
**[03:47] Guy A**
So the team that beat us
ended up in nationals...
**[03:51] Guy A**
What's wrong? You're not gonna eat?
**[03:53] Hina**
Bathroom.
**[04:00] Tana**
The first day that Hinata and Kageyama
came to the volleyball club,
**[04:04] ---**
Daichi-san said we'd be
going to the spring tournament.
**[04:08] Nishi**
The spring tournament...
**[04:10] Nishi**
Aren't the first-round preliminaries in August?
**[04:12] Tana**
We said we were going once more.
**[04:16] ---**
We can't keep thinking about a match we lost.
**[04:20] Sawa**
I think it's best that we back out here.
**[04:24] Azu**
Huh?
**[04:27] Sawa**
I wanted all of us third-years to be able
to compete in the spring tournament,
**[04:30] Sawa**
so I wanted us to hang in there until
then and go to Tokyo to fight.
**[04:36] Sawa**
But...
**[04:38] Sawa**
After watching the first and second-years,
**[04:40] ---**
I think it might be better
to hand the club over to them.
**[04:47] Sawa**
Their futures are so full of promise,
**[04:48] ---**
that it might be better to let them start
as the mainstays of a new team.
**[04:52] Swa**
That way, the team will—
**[04:53] Suga**
Daichi,
**[04:54] ---**
do you really mean that?
**[04:58] Suga**
It's true that, as captain, you're responsible
for thinking about the team.
**[05:01] Suga**
But I don't think you need
to completely remove yourself.
**[05:05] Suga**
If you've already made your decision,
I won't object,
**[05:07] Suga**
but if that's not the case,
**[05:09] ---**
then at least see things through to the end.
**[05:14] Suga**
As I already said, I'm staying.
**[05:17] ---**
If the first and second-years
asked me to leave,
**[05:19] ---**
then I'll think about it.
**[05:20] Suga**
And I'm staying even if you and Asahi leave.
**[05:22] Azu**
I already said I'd stay yesterday!
**[05:25] Azu**
I'm not planning on going to college.
**[05:28] Azu**
If the first and second-years
asked me to leave,
**[05:31] Azu**
I'd feel really bad.
**[05:33] Sawa**
I...
**[05:35] Sawa**
Of course
**[05:37] ---**
I want to keep playing!
**[05:39] Sawa**
I want to keep playing
volleyball with you guys!
**[05:53] Sensei**
Takeda-sensei,
**[05:56] Sensei**
may I talk to you for a moment,
in regard to to the volleyball club?
**[05:59] Takeda**
Yes?
***SIGN*** Karasuno High School Volleyball Club
**[06:59] Glasses**
You got to be in the game.
**[07:02] Glasses**
How was it?
**[07:04] Glasses**
Was it fun, Tadashi?
**[07:09] Yama**
No...
**[07:12] Yama**
No!
**[07:15] Glasses**
I can imagine.
**[07:17] Glasses**
Your body won't move right.
**[07:20] Glasses**
The ball won't fly.
**[07:22] Glasses**
Of course that's not fun.
**[07:26] Yama**
Up until junior high, I thought it
was fun just to play with everyone.
**[07:32] Yama**
That was what volleyball was to me.
**[07:35] Yama**
But that's not it...
**[07:37] Yama**
That's not it...
**[07:39] ---**
I want to be like the others, and...
**[07:45] Yama**
I want to be able to make my body move right!
**[07:48] Yama**
I want to control the ball!
**[07:50] Yama**
I want to play on the same level
as the other, better players!
**[07:56] Glasses**
To enjoy competitive activities,
you need to be good.
**[08:02] Glasses**
Coach Ukai...
**[08:04] Glasses**
I mean, his grandfather.
**[08:05] Glasses**
He used to say that to me all the time.
**[08:08] Glasses**
Of course, I wasn't the ace,
or even a starting member.
**[08:12] Glasses**
Practices were tough,
and I thought about quitting.
**[08:17] Glasses**
But...
**[08:22] Glasses**
The first time I managed a service ace
at a match, I thought,
**[08:27] Glasses**
"Man... How many hours did
I practice just for this one shot?"
**[08:33] Glasses**
"If I can savor this one shot,
this one moment, again,"
**[08:39] Glasses**
"I can survive those tough practices."
**[08:45] Glasses**
All right. Let's do this.
**[08:49] Glasses**
There isn't enough time before the next match.
**[08:56] Yama**
Tsukki, let's eat!
**[08:58] Tsuki**
Shut up, Yamaguchi.
**[09:02] Yama**
I'm sorry, Tsukki! Tsukki!
***SIGN*** Faculty Room
**[09:07] Teach**
Sugawara and Sawamura are both on track
to move on to higher education,
**[09:11] Teach**
but they've said that they intend to continue
club activities even after the Inter-High.
**[09:15] Teach**
Especially Sugawara...
**[09:18] (Flashback) Sugi**
Pardon me...
**[09:22] (Flashback) Teach**
Sugawara.
**[09:24] (Flashback) Teach**
I understand how you feel,
**[09:26] (Flashback) ---**
but you should concentrate on your studies.
**[09:28] (Flashback) Teach**
To be honest, I don't see any merit
in continuing your club activities.
**[09:33] (Flashback) Sugi**
Sensei, I'm not playing volleyball for merit.
**[09:39] Teach**
Sugawara doesn't play regularly
in matches, does he?
**[09:43] Take**
R-Right...
**[09:45] Teach**
His chances of becoming a professional
athlete are low, as well.
**[09:48] Teach**
Their grades are good, but I don't
know if they'll be able to keep that up.
**[09:54] Teach**
Could you talk to the third-years?
**[09:57] Teach**
Not about what they're doing right now,
but with regard to their futures.
**[10:02] Teach**
Words from adults shouldn't
be excuses for them.
**[10:09] Blond**
Those guys...
**[10:11] Coach**
What's up?
**[10:12] Blonde**
I'm sure
**[10:14] ---**
they're pretty bummed.
**[10:16] Coach**
I canceled our morning and
after-school practices today,
**[10:19] Coach**
considering everything
that happened yesterday.
**[10:28] Blonde**
Aoba Johsai was strong, weren't they?
**[10:31] Coach**
They were strong...
**[10:33] Coach**
Ridiculously strong.
**[10:35] Coach**
This time, we were able to play
a good game against them,
**[10:38] Coach**
but the next time we play
against them, I don't know
**[10:41] Coach**
if we'll be able to have the
same level of enthusiasm.
**[10:44] Coach**
But Seijoh will probably come at us
with the same level of power.
**[10:48] Coach**
Did you see them during their time-outs?
**[10:51] Blodne**
Yeah...
**[10:52] Blonde**
The meetings were just the team's members.
**[10:56] Blonde**
I'm sure the coaches have their backs,
**[10:58] ---**
and they're giving them advice, but...
**[11:04] Coach**
The players are constantly thinking and
**[11:06] ---**
figuring out what to do during the game.
**[11:09] Coach**
No matter what we throw at them,
**[11:11] ---**
they quickly figure out how to counter it.
**[11:13] Blonde**
And they won't break easily...
**[11:16] ---**
That's gotta be stressful.
**[11:19] Coach**
But...
**[11:20] Coach**
Even in the face of Seijoh's power,
they still managed
**[11:24] ---**
to steal away points by force.
**[11:34] Coach**
That must be what Shiratorizawa's like.
**[11:39] Oikawa**
All of our practices, experience,
and strategies are being broken by force.
**[11:47] Oikawa**
Well, I guess the actual path
to victory doesn't really matter.
**[11:52] Oikawa**
The one that lets the ball
fall on the court loses.
**[11:57] Oikawa**
That's everything.
**[13:12] Teach**
If you guys try too hard and
end up hurting yourselves
**[13:17] Teach**
badly enough to affect your futures,
but still want to play,
**[13:20] Teach**
we will probably stop you.
**[13:22] Teach**
There are times where it's
not best to act based
**[13:25] ---**
on how you're feeling.
**[13:27] Teach**
However, if you're able to keep challenging
yourselves, there are choices.
**[13:32] Teach**
That's what I think.
**[13:34] Teach**
Of course, I'm not saying that scoring
poorly on an exam is nothing.
**[13:38] Teach**
To overcome difficulties, you need effort,
endurance, and sacrifices.
**[13:44] Teach**
The hours you're putting into the club
**[13:47] ---**
are hours others are putting into
studying and securing their futures,
**[13:52] Teach**
which will give them an obvious lead over you.
**[13:55] Teach**
You all might end up regretting that.
**[14:01] Teach**
Please choose wisely.
**[14:03] Teach**
Choose the path that you will not
regret in five, or even ten, years.
**[14:27] Kage**
Your back's too high.
**[14:29] Hina**
Yeah...
**[14:35] Hina**
The finals should be wrapping
up, shouldn't they?
**[14:40] Kage**
Yeah.
**[14:42] Hina**
The ones who win are going
on to the nationals...
**[14:45] Hina**
They're gonna play a lot of games.
**[14:50] Kage**
Yeah...
**[14:55] Hina**
Damn... it!
**[15:16] Kage**
Damn it...
**[15:20] Kage**
Damn it all!
**[16:11] Hina**
I wanna win!
**[16:15] Kage**
I won't apologize anymore.
**[16:20] Kage**
I won't throw any more tosses that I have
**[16:24] ---**
to apologize for.
**[16:33] Hina**
The only ones who'll remain on the court...
**[16:37] Kage**
...are the strong.
**[16:44] Hina**
There's no time.
**[16:48] Hina**
There's no time to stop.
**[16:54] Chick**
But you need to eat your lunch.
**[16:58] Hina**
K— Sa—
**[17:00] Hina**
Sh-Shimizu-senpai!
**[17:02] Shi**
Also, stop shouting.
**[17:05] ---**
I could hear you all the way
in the club room.
**[17:06] Hina**
Right!
**[17:07] Tana**
Kiyoko-san!
**[17:11] Tana**
You're beautiful as ever, Kiyoko-san!
**[17:13] Nishi**
We've come to see you!
**[17:16] Tana**
We'll follow you forever!
**[17:22] Enn**
Don't get hurt!
**[17:24] Hina**
I thought you all had today off.
**[17:28] Enn**
Then why are you here?
**[17:30] Yama**
Heya.
**[17:35] Tsuki**
Hey.
**[17:37] Nishi**
Now, we're just waiting
for the third-years.
**[17:39] Enn**
But there isn't club today in the first place.
**[17:42] Tana**
Hey, hey, hey.
**[17:44] Tana**
There's no way the third-years
are going to quit.
**[17:47] Hina**
Huh? What do you mean the third-years...
**[17:50] Hina**
The third-years are staying, right?
**[17:53] Hina**
They're still going to the
spring tournament, right?
**[18:03] Suga**
Crap, hurry.
**[18:08] Shi**
Yeah, we are.
**[18:11] Tana**
You're late!
**[18:15] Suga**
Let's go to the spring tournament!
**[18:19] All**
All right!
**[18:25] Coach**
*The day's finally here...*
**[18:28] Coach**
* I wonder if some of those*
* weirdos actually showed up.*
**[18:37] All**
Nice job!
**[18:39] All**
Nice job!
**[18:46] All**
Thank you!
**[18:48] Coach**
You guys are in good spirits.
**[18:52] Sawa**
Please continue to coach us!
**[18:55] Karasu**
Please!
**[19:01] Coach**
We lost in a match that decided
our superiority or inferiority.
**[19:04] Coach**
Seijoh was strong and we fell to them.
**[19:09] Coach**
That is our reality right now.
**[19:13] Coach**
As for today's finals for the Inter-High...
**[19:17] Coach**
The winner was...
**[19:22] Coach**
Shiratorizawa.
***SIGN*** Shiratorizawa Aoba Johsai
**[19:27] Hina**
Seijoh...
**[19:29] Kage**
...lost?
**[19:35] Coach**
There are teams stronger than Seijoh,
even in our prefecture.
**[19:39] Coach**
That just means we have to get stronger.
**[19:41] Coach**
I'm pretty sure you know what
our next goal is, but...
**[19:44] Coach**
It's the spring tournament.
**[19:46] Coach**
For the third-years who will be participating,
it will be their last battle.
**[19:51] Hina**
*The spring tournament!*
**[19:53] Hina**
*The stage on which the Little Giant stood.*
**[19:55] Coach**
Well, then, let's have the
captain pump us all up.
**[20:04] Sawa**
It's the stage that Karasuno has been to
just once in the past...
**[20:08] Sawa**
Tokyo.
**[20:09] Sawa**
The Orange Court.
**[20:12] Sawa**
We're going to go there one more time!
**[20:21] All**
All right!
**[20:40] Coach**
Take a break!
**[20:41] All**
Right!
**[21:12] Hina**
Kageyama.
**[21:15] Hina**
We're definitely going to win it next time.
**[21:19] Hina**
All of us are.
**[21:24] Kage**
Yeah.
**[21:26] Coach**
All right, break's over!
**[21:28] All**
Right!
**[21:38] Hina**
A tall, tall wall looms in front of me.
**[21:42] Coach**
Let's begin spiking practice!
**[21:44] All**
Right!
**[21:45] Person**
Here we go!
**[21:49] Hina**
Beyond that
**[21:51] ---**
is something
**[21:53] ---**
that I'd never be able to see on my own...
**[22:00] Coach**
Next, Hinata!
**[22:02] Hina**
Please!
**[22:10] Hina**
Bring it!
**[22:17] Hina**
That's...
**[22:20] Hina**
The view from the top!
