What? No way...
**[01:08] (Flashback) Kenma**
Well, as long as I get to
the training camp on time...
**[01:47] (Flashback) Hinata**
What are you doing?
**[01:49] (Flashback) Kenma**
Um...
**[01:51] (Flashback) Kenma**
I'm lost.
**[01:55] (Flashback) Hinata**
You're from out of town?
**[01:58] (Flashback) Kenma**
Yeah.
**[02:06] (Flashback) Hinata**
Is that thing fun?
**[02:09] (Flashback) Kenma**
Not really.
**[02:11] (Flashback) Kenma**
I'm just passing time.
**[02:13] (Flashback) Hinata**
Oh...
**[02:17] (Flashback) Hinata**
Are you a volleyball player?
**[02:18] (Flashback) Kenma**
Huh?
**[02:19] (Flashback) Hinata**
Those are volleyball shoes.
**[02:22] (Flashback) Kenma**
Oh. Yeah.
**[02:24] (Flashback) Hinata**
I'm in a volleyball club, too.
I'm Hinata Shoyo.
**[02:29] (Flashback) Kenma**
Kozume...
**[02:31] (Flashback) Kenma**
...Kenma.
**[02:34] (Flashback) Hinata**
Um... do you like volleyball?
**[02:38] (Flashback) Kenma**
Not particularly. I kind of just do it.
**[02:41] (Flashback) Kenma**
I don't dislike it,
but I don't like getting tired.
**[02:46] (Flashback) Kenma**
My friends play, and they probably
couldn't do it without me.
**[02:54] (Flashback) Hinata**
I think it'll be more fun
if you get to like it.
**[02:57] (Flashback) Kenma**
I don't care.
**[02:58] (Flashback) Kenma**
It's only while I'm in high school.
**[03:23] Yamamoto**
Kenma, wake up!
**[03:30] Yamamoto**
Everyone's at breakfast already. Hurry it up!
**[03:38] Yamamoto**
Get up, damn it!
**[03:45] Hinata**
Morning! It's finally time!
Isn't that super exciting?!

**[03:49] Kuroo**
You get a message from Shrimpy?
**[03:53] Kenma**
He's really casually messaging an
opponent he's about to face.
**[03:56] Kenma**
It's pretty hilarious.
**[03:58] Kuroo**
Shrimpy's gonna come
at you with all he's got.
**[04:04] Kenma**
I mean, isn't it natural to want to win?
**[04:08] Kuroo**
No, I mean that he's gonna go all out on you.
**[04:14] Kenma**
What's that even supposed to mean?

You guys better keep cheering!
**[07:01] Tanaka**
Curse you, locals.
**[07:04] Yamamoto**
All right, Kenma!
Let's stop the ogre and club duo!
**[07:08] Yaku**
We don't want our blocks getting split up.
**[07:12] Nekomata**
* Kenma's not very interested*
* in winning or losing.*
**[07:16] Nekomata**
*His words aren't very passionate.*
**[07:19] Nekomata**
* He just analyzes if something*
* is possible or not.*
**[07:24] Kenma**
*Is it possible or impossible...*
**[07:27] Kenma**
I don't know.
**[07:33] Kuroo**
All right, let's do the usual!
**[07:44] Kuroo**
We're like the blood in our veins.
**[07:47] Kuroo**
We need to keep flowing without stopping.
**[07:49] Kuroo**
Keep the oxygen moving
**[07:51] Kuroo**
and our brains working properly!
**[07:55] Kuroo and Sawamura**
Let's make a mess!
**[07:58] Nekoma and Karasuno**
Yeah!
**[08:01] Announcer**
We will now introduce
each team's starting members.

**[09:56] Yaku**
How stupid are you?
**[09:57] Announcer**
*Their libero is #3.*
**[09:58] Announcer**
* The defensive ace of a team known for*
* being masters of defense, Yaku Morisuke.*
**[10:01] Announcer**
*They're being led by Coach Nekomata Yasufumi.*
**[10:04] Yu**
Hey!
**[10:05] Yu**
This is your rival, isn't it, Master?
**[10:06] Announcer**
He retired from coaching once but
came back two years ago.
**[10:07] Aya**
Coach Bakeneko!
**[10:09] Yu**
It's Coach Nekomata!
**[10:10] Announcer**
He brilliantly led Nekoma to the nationals!
**[10:11] Aya**
Didn't you want to be at this match, Master?
**[10:14] Ukai**
Hm... Not really.

Spring Tournament Round 3
**[10:18] Announcer**
Nekoma and Karasuno have been rivals for years,
**[10:18] Ukai**
My name's not in the Spring Tournament
pamphlet, but my student's there...
**[10:22] Announcer**
but Coach Nekomata said he'd
accept Coach Ukai's declaration
**[10:25] Announcer**
that they were going to win with a smile.
**[10:25] Ukai**
And my blood's there, too.
**[10:29] Ukai**
I've got no complaints.
**[10:32] Keishin**
* This battle is happening*
* right now. It's their battle.*
**[10:34] Tanaka**
Kageyama, nice serve!
**[10:36] Sawamura**
Nice serve!
**[10:37] Keishin**
* But we're not standing here*
* with our strength alone.*
**[10:41] Keishin**
*I'm sure those guys know that.*
**[10:45] Keishin**
*So I hope you enjoy this, old man.*
**[10:53] Kai**
Got it!
**[10:58] Akiteru**
He got it up on the first serve!
**[10:59] Lev**
Nice receive!
**[11:06] Nishinoya**
Someone follow up!
**[11:13] Yaku**
*That was intense!*
**[11:14] Nishinoya**
Free ball!
**[11:17] Tanaka**
Left!
**[11:21] Tanaka**
*Get a load of my spike!*
**[11:24] Lev**
Taketora-san, nice!
**[11:26] Yamamoto**
*It's too long...*
**[11:31] Nishinoya**
Nice, Daichi-san!
**[11:43] (Flashback) Kenma**
I've been thinking lately...
**[11:46] (Flashback) Hinata**
What?
**[11:47] (Flashback) Kenma**
You're entertaining, Shoyo,
**[11:49] (Flashback) Kenma**
so I'd like to play a game with you
that's not a practice game.
**[11:54] (Flashback) Hinata**
Huh?
**[11:56] (Flashback) Kenma**
A game where it's immediately
"game over" if you lose.
**[12:03] (Flashback) Hinata**
Let's do it.
**[12:12] Takinoue**
Holy crap!
**[12:13] Saeko**
Yeah!
**[12:15] Old guy**
Yeah!
**[12:16] Aya**
That was so fast!
**[12:22] Hinata**
A match where there is no rematch... Kenma!
**[12:30] Sugawara**
It's on now!

**[12:42] (Flashback) Kenma**
Since coming to nationals,
**[12:45] (Flashback) Kenma**
Shoyo apparently doesn't always
jump forward first like he used to.
**[12:52] Karasuno**
*Yeah!*
**[12:55] (Flashback) Kenma**
But their quick is still there, though.
**[12:58] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Of course it is.
**[13:00] (Flashback) Kuroo**
Shrimpy's starting to use the minus
tempo attack itself as a decoy.
**[13:05] (Flashback) Kenma**
Yeah.
**[13:07] (Flashback) Yaku**
The last practice match we had
with them was in October, right??
**[13:10] (Flashback) Yaku**
You mean they've evolved again since then?
**[13:13] (Flashback) Yamamoto**
Man, you can't be serious.
**[13:16] (Flashback) Fukunaga**
A cat that's eaten a snake...
So, it's a common cat snake.
**[13:23] (Flashback) Kai**
Right. I guess we've also evolved.
**[13:29] Kuroo; Fukunaga; Yamamoto; Kai**
Synchronized attack!
**[13:36] Tsukishima**
Touch!
**[13:36] Tanaka**
Nice one!
**[13:38] Sawamura**
Cover!
**[13:41] Hinata**
*A synchronized attack...*
**[13:42] Hinata; Sawamura; Tsukishima; Tanaka; Azumane**
*...all!*
**[13:45] Akane**
*Five attackers?!*
**[13:53] Akane**
Nice one, nice one, Kuroo!
**[13:53] Nekoma Cheering Squad**
Nice, nice, Tetsuro! Push it, push it, Tetsuro!
**[13:58] Sawamura**
You bastard...
**[14:01] Nekoma Cheering Squad**
One more time!
**[14:01] Chigaya**
Nekoma also did a
synchronized attack, didn't they?
**[14:02] Azumane**
Come on! Focus!
**[14:04] Ogano**
Cats and crows... I guess they really
are both omnivores.
**[14:07] Gora**
Real cats are carnivores, though.
**[14:10] Ogano**
Oh...
**[14:12] Sugawara**
That's the first time we've used the
five-man attack on Nekoma, right?
**[14:15] Sugawara**
Kuroo kept up without a problem.
**[14:18] Hinata**
Well, I mean, Kuroo-san is Tsukishima's master
**[14:20] Hinata**
when it comes to annoying, persistent blocks.
**[14:23] Kuroo**
Don't you think you're putting your hands
**[14:25] Kuroo**
straight up too much since
we're blowing through you?
**[14:28] Kuroo**
Didn't I tell you to put your hands
out front, Mr. Juste Club?
**[14:33] Tsukishima**
Wow, you're giving me advice?
I see you're as overconfident as ever.
**[14:36] Kuroo**
Nah, I'm just trying to get a rise outta ya.
**[14:40] Bokuto**
Don't lose to him, Tsukki!
Get him back for that!
**[14:42] Akaashi**
I bet Kuroo-san's saying something
to piss off Tsukishima again.
***SIGN*** Karasuno

**[14:49] Yaku**

**[14:55] Sawamura**

**[15:01] Yaku**
What a weak receive.
**[15:04] Yaku**
It's gonna go over the net.
**[15:05] Tanaka**
Get it over, Hinata!
**[15:10] Nishinoya**
Got it!
**[15:15] Nishinoya and Azumane**
Yeah!
**[15:18] Alisa**
That was so loud!
**[15:18] Karasuno Cheering Squad**
Nice kill, Asahi! Nice, nice, Asahi!
Push it, push it, Asahi! One more time!
**[15:21] Yaku**
Yu! You keep getting better
every time I see you!

Thanks, Morisuke-kun!

landing with the ball...
***SIGN*** Tokyo
Nekoma
**[15:32] Naoi**
This goes without saying,
**[15:33] Naoi**
but their team is totally different from when
we had that practice match against them.
**[15:37] Nekomata**
Talk about scary.
**[15:40] Nekomata**
Omnivores versus omnivores...
**[15:43] Nekomata**
They both grew by devouring
those bigger than them.
**[15:49] Kuroo**
Now, then...
**[15:51] Kuroo**
How do we wanna take them down?
***SIGN*** Karasuno

Wow...
**[16:06] Akane**
Connect, connect!
**[16:08] Yaku**
Okay!
**[16:09] Kuroo**
*These guys have never been the same twice!*
**[16:13] Kuroo**
*Just as usual...*
**[16:14] Kuroo**
*Search, adjust, and see through them!*
**[16:19] Yamamoto**
Left, left!
**[16:23] Karasuno**
Yeah!
**[16:24] Karasuno Cheering Squad**
Nice, nice, Asahi! Push it, push it, Asahi!
One more time!
**[16:25] Azumane**
*I wonder how many I'm gonna get over today...*
**[16:28] Sugawara**
Yeah, Tsukishima! Don't let Kuroo beat you!
**[16:31] Sugawara**
You hear me?! Don't you dare lose to him!
Are you listening, Tsukishima?!
**[16:32] Kuroo**
Suga-chan is on fire today.
**[16:35] Yamamoto**
I guess he's more excitable than he looks.
**[16:38] Tsukishima**
I can't.
**[16:42] Kenma**
*Here he comes...*
**[16:45] Tsukishima**
I'd never dream of beating
someone who's better than me.
**[16:50] Tsukishima**
Why, I couldn't fathom beating Kuroo-san!
**[16:53] Tsukishima**
Perish the thought!
**[16:54] Tsukishima**
I'm not so delusional that I think
I can beat you on my own.
**[16:59] Kuroo**
Are you sure he's not all about
bringing us down on his own?
**[17:03] Tsukishima**
Well...
**[17:05] Tsukishima**
He's someone who's going to surpass me, so...
**[17:11] Tanaka**
Yamaguchi, nice serve!
**[17:14] Yaku**
*Come on, come on, come on, come on.*
**[17:14] Yamamoto**
Bring it!
**[17:18] Yamamoto**
Got it!
**[17:23] Yamaguchi**
Yeah!
**[17:23] Karasuno**
Yeah!
**[17:25] Akiteru**
Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
**[17:28] Alisa**
The ball got all floaty...
**[17:31] Akane**
That was a nice serve!
**[17:34] Yaku**
It stretched even more when you touched it.
**[17:37] Kai**
Don't worry about it.
**[17:38] Akiteru**
Tadashi... you've grown so much...
**[17:40] Shimada**
Yup!
**[17:41] Takinoue**
Is he your son now?
**[17:43] Reserves**
One more time!
**[17:51] Yaku**
* There is no "one more time"*
* when you're up against Nekoma!*
**[17:56] Yaku**
Nice receive!
**[18:01] Tsukishima**
*That's plenty.*
**[18:06] Kuroo**
* Didn't I tell you to put your hands*
* out front, Mr. Juste Club?*
**[18:14] Karasuno**
Yeah!
**[18:20] Bokuto**
Did you see what our Tsukki just did?!
**[18:23] Akaashi**
Tsukishima's not on our team, Bokuto-san.
**[18:32] Yamaguchi**
Nice block!
**[18:34] Tsukishima**
Nice serve.
**[18:36] Yaku**
This is all your fault, damn it!
**[18:37] Kuroo**
Ow!
**[18:39] Kuroo**
What are you talking about?!
That was all because of Tsukki's talent!
**[18:42] Fukunaga**
He jumped farther than expected...
What a far out guy.
**[18:49] Kuroo**
Tsukki, what are your thoughts
on volleyball lately?
**[18:56] Tsukishima**
Thanks to everyone...
**[18:59] Tsukishima**
Every now and then...
Just once in a while, it can be sorta fun.
**[19:04] Kuroo**
I never thought I'd be able
to hear that from Tsukki.
**[19:07] Kuroo**
Kenma, you should follow his example.
**[19:12] Reserves**
Yamaguchi, one more nice serve!
**[19:17] Kuroo**
Nice receive!
**[19:18] Sawamura**
Right, right!

All right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno

I understand wanting to score
more points, though.
**[19:34] Hinata**
All right! I'm gonna do this!
**[19:40] Yaku**
Yamamoto, nice serve!
**[19:44] Tanaka**
Sorry!
**[19:45] Yaku**
Now's our chance!
**[19:49] Yaku**
*It's long!*
**[19:50] Sawamura**
Asahi!
**[19:54] Keshin**
Yeah!
**[19:54] Karasuno**
Yeah!
**[19:55] Nekomata**
There's always a chance if you can
just touch the ball.
**[19:58] Kageyama**
We don't need a perfect pass
if you're just getting it over the net!
**[20:01] Tanaka**
Yessir!
**[20:02] Nishinoya**
It's not a perfect pass if it
goes over the net anyway.
**[20:05] Kageyama**
Oh, right.
**[20:06] Tanaka**
I got it already!
**[20:08] Yaku**
Kageyama sure is good.
**[20:11] Kageyama**
Even if it's not right along the net,
**[20:13] Kageyama**
as long as it's close enough to the
attack line, I can take care of the rest.
**[20:16] Tanaka; Azumane; Nishinoya; Sawamura; Hinata**
*Damn, that was cool!*
**[20:19] Yamamoto**
Did you hear that, Kenma?
Man, that guy says some cool things.
**[20:23] Kenma**
Yeah.
**[20:25] Kenma**
Stop comparing our home to theirs.
**[20:28] Kuroo**
Okay, Mom.
**[20:30] Kenma**
We don't need to compete
with them in everything.
**[20:31] Tanaka**
Hinata, nice serve!
**[20:34] Yaku**
Fukunaga!
**[20:36] Kuroo**
Center!
**[20:38] Kageyama**
Got it!
**[20:38] Tanaka**
Get it!
**[20:42] Kuroo**
*The opposite side!*
**[20:45] Saeko**
Nice ki—
**[20:48] Saeko**
What?! No way!
**[20:52] Saeko**
Hell ye—God, that was close!
**[20:52] Karasuno**
Yeah!
**[20:55] Nekoma Girl**
So close!
**[20:56] Sawamura**
Anytime we think, "We got it!"
it can turn into a "Not yet!"
**[21:01] Sawamura**
This happens all the time with Nekoma,
so let's be careful.
**[21:06] Shimada**
Kageyama's body was definitely going right...
**[21:10] Shimada**
But that was a spot-on set to the left.
**[21:13] Takinoue**
Yeah, and then you have the attackers
who know he'll set it up perfectly.
**[21:19] Kuroo**
Damn, that was awesome.
**[21:21] Nekomata**
*Curiosity and respect rather than fear.*
**[21:24] Nekomata**
* The exhilaration and reverence you feel*
* playing against a strong opponent.*
**[21:29] Nekomata**
Excellent.
**[21:32] Nekomata**
*But he's a little different.*
**[21:36] Nekomata**
* A game both teams have worked*
* hard for, a fateful battle.*
**[21:37] Yamamoto**
Bring it!
**[21:40] Nekomata**
* If we lose, the third-years*
* will have to retire.*
**[21:43] Nekomata**
* In the end, he's not that*
* interested in all of that.*
**[21:47] Nekomata**
* He's just eagerly waiting*
* to rip off the crows' feathers.*
**[21:57] Nishinoya**
Asahi-san!
**[22:03] Ogano**
Just how powerful are Karasuno's attacks?
**[22:03] Karasuno**
All right!
**[22:04] Karasuno Cheering Squad**
Nice kill, Asahi! Nice, nice, Asahi!
Push it, push it, Asahi! One more time!
**[22:06] Daisho**
They're actually doing pretty well, though.
**[22:09] Mika**
Who? Nekoma?
**[22:11] Daisho**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Karasuno
***SIGN*** Nekoma
**[22:13] Mika**
Even though they're behind?
**[22:15] Daisho**
It's not uncommon for Nekoma's opponent
to take an early lead in the match.
***SIGN*** Nekoma
***SIGN*** Nohebi
**[22:19] Daisho**
But that's when they're prioritizing
analyzing their opponent's attacks.
**[22:23] Daisho**
As the match goes on, they'll use
that input to slowly catch up.
**[22:26] Daisho**
That's Nekoma's style.
**[22:27] Daisho**
But because they're up against
the explosive Karasuno,
**[22:30] Daisho**
they're somewhat keeping up
even in the first part of the game.
**[22:34] Daisho**
I think Nekoma's doing pretty well so far.
**[22:38] Nishinoya**
Daichi-san!
**[22:39] Sugawara**
It's long!
**[22:40] Hinata**
Push through, Kageyama!
**[22:41] Yaku**
Hold your ground, Lev!
**[22:44] Kuroo**
*Go, Lev!*
**[22:46] Kuroo**
*You've got no chance with technical skills...*
**[22:48] Kuroo**
*Like, no chance at all, but!*
**[22:50] Kuroo**
*Use your damn size to force it through!*
**[22:53] Kuroo**
*Yup.*
**[22:56] Yamamoto**
Kenma!
**[22:58] Hinata; Nekomata; Inuoka; Yaku; Akaashi; Bokuto**
Ooh!
**[22:59] Hinata; Nekomata; Inuoka; Yaku; Akaashi; Bokuto**
He actually moved fast!
**[23:04] Lev**
Heck yeah!
**[23:06] Alisa**
Levochka!
**[23:08] Akane**
That height!
**[23:09] Lev**
That was a little low!
**[23:11] Kenma**
Sure.
**[23:12] Kageyama**
Kozume-san...
**[23:15] Kageyama**
You can actually move.
**[23:18] Kenma**
I mean... I am alive.
**[23:22] Yamamoto**
Not even Kageyama can beat you, Kenma!
**[23:25] Kenma**
What are you talking about?
**[23:27] Yamamoto**
Really? That's your reaction?
**[23:28] Kenma**
It's rude to compare me to someone
who's clearly working hard.
**[23:33] Kenma**
But whenever I see something
actually amazing...
**[23:37] Kenma**
I rethink my own limits.
**[23:46] Sugawara**
Well, yeah. There's no way those guys
are the same anymore.

That's rough.
**[24:56] Yaku**
Sorry! That was wide!
**[24:57] Yachi**
His arms are gonna rip off!

We went over the net?
**[25:17] Kageyama**
* He made it look like he was going to dump*

**[25:17] Azumane**

Free ball!
**[25:51] Akaashi**
*Karasuno's consistent multi-player attack.*
**[25:54] Bokuto**
They're definitely throwing
Nekoma's blockers for a loop.
**[26:01] Kuroo**
Get it over!
**[26:04] Takinouke**
It's taking them everything
just to get it back over!
**[26:06] Yamaguchi; Hinata; Sugawara**
Free ball!

It's coming back!

**[26:46] Habuka**
Well... That was clearly a mistake...
**[26:50] Announcer**
Huh?
**[26:51] Habuka**
But when Kozume-kun returned the ball,
**[26:54] Habuka**
he was waiting just for the exact moment
when the spikers were getting into formation.
**[27:00] Habuka**
It was also right along the path that
Kageyama-kun would head up to the net to set,
**[27:04] Habuka**
a place where the players intersected,
**[27:06] Habuka**
and ended up dropping in the
opposite direction of the libero.
**[27:10] Tanaka**
That was on me!
**[27:10] Sawamura**
It was me!
**[27:10] Habuka**
Karasuno is on the offensive way
more than a lot of other teams.
**[27:11] Keishin**
Sawamura...
**[27:13] Sawamura**
Yes, sir!
**[27:14] Takeda**
Let's just go line up for now.
**[27:15] Sawamura and Tanaka**
Y-Yes, sir!
**[27:16] Habuka**
Basically, they were all ready
to attack at that moment
**[27:19] Habuka**
and that's what caused their mistake.
***SIGN*** Nekoma
***SIGN*** Karasuno
**[27:22] Habuka**
Their strength turned into their weakness.
**[27:24] Habuka**
Rather, I guess I should say that Kozume-kun
took advantage of their strength.
**[27:32] Kenma**
It looks like everyone from
Karasuno is turning into Shoyo.
**[27:39] Kuroo**
May Shrimpy always be in good health.
**[27:43] Kenma**
Wait, what?
**[27:48] (Flashback) Kenma**
"...so why him?"
**[27:51] (Flashback) Kenma**
I'm not very athletic to begin with.
**[27:55] (Flashback) Hinata**
Huh... Then, hey. Is your team good?
**[28:00] (Flashback) Kenma**
I dunno.
**[28:03] (Flashback) Kenma**
I heard we were good a long time ago.
**[28:05] (Flashback) Kenma**
But we lost our edge.
**[28:08] (Flashback) Kenma**
Recently, though...
**[28:12] (Flashback) Kenma**
I think we're pretty good.
**[28:15] (Flashback) Hinata**
What's your school's—
**[28:17] (Flashback) Kuroo**
Kenma.
**[28:19] (Flashback) Kenma**
Oh. Kuro.
**[28:21] (Flashback) Kenma**
Bye.
**[28:22] (Flashback) Hinata**
Oh, hey! Kenma!
**[28:26] (Flashback) Kenma**
See you soon, Shoyo.
**[28:30] (Flashback) Hinata**
See you... soon?
**[28:35] (Flashback) Kuroo**
Well, that's rare.
**[28:38] (Flashback) Kuroo**
You don't know him, do you?
**[28:40] (Flashback) Kuroo**
I've never seen you talk like that
to someone you've never met before.
**[28:46] (Flashback) Kenma**
Well...
**[28:51] (Flashback) Kenma**
Yeah, I'm not sure why.
**[28:53] Nekoma Cheering Squad**
Go, go, Nekoma! Go, go, Nekoma!
**[28:56] Bokuto**
That was rough for Karasuno.
**[28:56] Nekoma Cheering Squad**
Push it, push it, Nekoma!
Push it, Push it, Nekoma!
**[28:58] Akaashi**
Yes.
**[29:00] Kenma**
Of course, nothing beats
being able to rack up points
**[29:03] Kenma**
with one strong serve after another...
**[29:05] Kenma**
But we're not at that level yet.
**[29:07] Kenma**
If you can get points by serving, then do it.
**[29:08] Nekoma Teammate**
Here you go.
**[29:09] Yaku**
Thanks.
**[29:10] Yamamoto**
Yep.
**[29:11] Kuroo**
You're saying it like, "If you wanted to
add some fries to that, go ahead," again.
**[29:16] Kenma**
Kuro, you said before that there's
no absolute solution to any play.
**[29:21] Kenma**
We just need to be able to
scrape off two or three points
**[29:24] Kenma**
from the ten points Shoyo's bound to make.
**[29:27] Naoi**
Kenma's really proactive today.

Got it!
**[29:49] Sugawara**
*He won't be able to dash!*
**[29:51] Sugawara**
* By having Hinata bump the ball up front,*
* they shut down the quick!*
**[30:00] Alisa**
Wow, he ran to the other side.
**[30:03] Akane**
A slide...
**[30:07] Tanaka**
Nice, Hinata!
**[30:11] Kenma**
* There wasn't exactly a need*
* to use Shoyo there, but...*
**[30:17] Kageyama**
*That's not enough to shut down our quick!*
**[30:24] Fukunaga**
I guess my serve wasn't placed that great.
**[30:25] Kenma**
Maybe. But...
**[30:28] Kenma**
I thought it had a decent chance.
**[30:32] Kenma**
Shoyo.
**[30:33] Hinata**
Hm?

Wait, is that the right way to use
"rain on their parade"?

Yes, it is.
**[31:01] Bokuto**
Don't think about the future.
Look at the right now.
**[31:05] Bokuto**
"Just look at how much stronger we've gotten."

All right!

Huh?

Yes!
**[35:00] Yu**
Go!
**[35:00] Announcer**
The ball goes left.
**[35:01] Announcer**
A powerful line shot!
Will they be able to get it up?
**[35:04] Aya**
Sho-chan's having a hard time today.

They're slowly catching up.
***SIGN*** Karasuno

**[35:52] (Flashback) Kenma**
Lev.
**[35:54] (Flashback) Kenma**
The next time Karasuno attacks and
Shoyo goes all out and starts to dash,
**[36:00] (Flashback) Kenma**
make sure three blockers get on him.
**[36:03] (Flashback) Kenma**
I think it's about time.
**[36:05] Lev**
How did you know to put
all three blockers on Hinata?
**[36:09] Lev**
You're sorta scary, Kenma-san.
**[36:11] Kenma**
You can tell that Shoyo's
hitting less today, right?
**[36:15] Lev**
Huh? Uh, yeah.
**[36:17] Lev**
You mean like when we were able
to target Hinata with our serves?
**[36:20] Kenma**
That wasn't the only time.
**[36:23] Nishinoya**
They're not just making Shoyo get the ball.
**[36:26] Nishinoya**
They're using me, too.
**[36:30] Nishinoya**
Remember at the beginning of this set
**[36:31] Nishinoya**
where Shoyo bumped the ball
then went into a slide?
**[36:36] Nishinoya**
But then the next rotation and just now...
**[36:39] Nishinoya**
By having me get the ball in that spot,
**[36:41] Nishinoya**
they prevented Shoyo
from being able to run right.
**[36:45] Nishinoya**
At first, I thought it might've
just been coincidence...
**[36:48] Nishinoya**
But it's definitely intentional.
**[36:51] Sawamura**
A thorough way to stamp Hinata out...
**[36:55] Kenma**
Shoyo loves to jump, so by
preventing him from doing it,
**[36:59] Kenma**
he's going to be filled
with irritation and panic.
**[37:02] Kenma**
It became even clearer with
that forceful out he just did.
**[37:08] Kenma**
As a setter, you don't want to just
let the spiker keep missing.
**[37:13] Kenma**
So I figured when the timing
was right, he'd set to Shoyo.
**[37:20] Lev**
Kenma-san, you're terrifying.
**[37:22] Kuroo**
I know, right?
**[37:23] Kai**
Totally.
**[37:25] Kenma**
We just need a little bit.
**[37:27] Kenma**
I keep saying this, but it's impossible to
completely shut down each and every attack.
**[37:32] Kenma**
We just need to be able to scrape off a few of
the points Karasuno would usually be making.
**[37:37] Kenma**
The compilation of all these mild
stressors may lead to an actual miss.
**[37:43] Kenma**
We just need to make that
happen two or three times.
**[37:48] Kenma**
I'm not just talking about
the points but lines.
**[37:51] Kenma**
We're going to cut off all lines to Hinata.
**[37:55] Kenma**
An approach is what gives Shoyo his wings.
**[38:15] (Flashback) Kuroo**
Kenma.
**[38:18] (Flashback) Kuroo**
What? You starve to death again?
**[38:20] (Flashback) Kuroo**
Your mom gave me some
shrimp crackers. Want some?
**[38:23] (Flashback) Kenma**
I actually hate beating a game
more than getting a game over.
**[38:28] (Flashback) Kuroo**
Wha?
**[38:30] Lev and Yamamoto**
Let's do this!
**[38:34] Nishinoya**
Yeah!
**[38:35] Keishin**
Kageyama.
**[38:41] Yamamoto**
Get a nice serve, Fukunaga!
**[38:50] Azumane**

Nice, Asahi-san!

**[39:02] Kenma**
*If we can get in the way of the ultimate decoy,*
**[39:05] Kenma**
*our blockers will be able to move way easier.*
**[39:09] Kenma**
* Even if we can't make Shoyo get the ball*
* or cut off his approach routes...*
**[39:14] Kenma**
*We just need him to hesitate.*
**[39:16] Kenma**
* "Should I get the ball or leave it to*
* someone next to or behind me?"*
**[39:21] Kenma**
* Shoyo is definitely way more*
* aware of bumping the ball now.*
**[39:27] Kuroo**
Touch!
**[39:29] Kuroo**
* I don't think I've ever known Shrimpy's*
* presence to feel so small before.*

R-Right!
**[41:06] Sugawara**
All right! Let's hype things up!
**[41:09] Kageyama**
Wow... This is so interesting.
**[41:13] Sugawara**
We don't get a party like this often,

*The setter stepped back.*
**[41:34] Akane**
*Five attackers?!*
**[41:36] Hinata**
*Approach distance secured!*
**[41:38] Kenma**
Confusing his speed...
**[41:47] Hinata**
*Approach distance secured—*
**[41:51] Kenma**
* His jump that can fight*
* 190-centimeter blockers...*
**[41:55] Sugawara**
Damn it!
**[42:01] Hinata**
*Approach distance...*
**[42:02] Hinata**
secured!
**[42:04] Kenma**
* Even being one step behind will put everything*
* behind, and his presence gets diluted.*
**[42:09] Kenma**

*Why did this have to happen right now?*
**[42:55] Sugawara**
You okay?

I'm fine!

* Breaking through the wall*

**[43:49] Sugawara**
Hinata!
**[43:51] Sugawara**
Nice receive. Keep it up!
**[43:56] Hinata**
Uh, right.
**[44:00] Nekoma Student A**
What's the role of that #10 on the black team?
**[44:03] Nekoma Student A**
He's tiny and doesn't seem to spike much.
**[44:06] Nekoma Student A**
What's he even there for?
**[44:08] Nekoma Student B**
He seemed to be pretty
active during the first set.
**[44:11] Nekoma Student A**
Really?
**[44:12] Akane**
* And our team is doing their best to*
* make sure that #10 can't perform!*

* the more they look for answers.*
**[44:39] Hinata**
* How can I receive and then*
* secure a good approach?*
**[44:45] Kenma**
* They look for a shortcut to get away*
* from their irritation and panic.*
**[44:50] Hinata**
*What should I do? There has to be a way...*
**[44:56] Kenma**
*Just keep struggling like that.*

*Bumping the ball will trap me!*

*I think this might be it.*
**[45:24] Hinata**
*Even then...*
**[45:27] Hinata**
*It's not like I can choose one or the other!*
**[45:30] Hinata**
* If we don't bump the ball,*
* there will be no spikes.*
**[45:33] Hinata**
* If the ball just drops,*
* it's not even a volleyball game!*
**[45:36] Hinata**
*A shortcut to getting a point...*
**[45:39] Hinata**
*doesn't exist!*

*Fly!*
**[46:08] Tendo; Goshiki; Bokuto; Akaashi; Daisho; Akane**
*High to the middle?!*
**[46:20] Hinata**
*Approach distance secured!*
**[46:23] Kenma**
* He really tried to set that*
* high there in the middle?*
**[46:26] Kenma**
*We have three blockers.*
**[46:27] Kenma**
* And unlike quicks, where the setter*
* is matching with the spikers,*
**[46:31] Kenma**
* there are a lot of people*
* who don't do well with high sets.*
**[46:33] Kenma**
* Shoyo spent all this time doing quicks with*
* a super-technical setter, so this is just...*
**[46:40] (Flashback) Kageyama**
You can jump even higher.
**[46:43] (Flashback) Kageyama**
And when you make those jumps,
**[46:46] (Flashback) Kageyama**
you hear the sound of your
feet kicking off the floor.

*He really did that on purpose?*
**[47:20] Kenma**
*Even when Shoyo's weapon is his speed?*
**[47:22] Tanaka**
Did you somehow jump even higher than usual?
**[47:23] Kenma**
* He's actually still able*
* to hit a set that high?*
**[47:25] Hinata**
I'm right in the middle of
perfecting the "bam" jump!
**[47:29] Keishin**
Didn't he just jump insanely high just now?
**[47:33] Akaashi**
That was quite a jump.
**[47:37] Kageyama**
Well, I guess that jump was okay.
**[47:41] Hinata**
And your set was super awesome!
**[47:45] Hinata**
I'm complimenting you?! Hello?!

That was close...
**[48:22] Hinata**
It's Inuoka.
**[48:26] Shimada**
That super-fast #7...
**[48:28] Takinoue**
They're already solidifying their blocks.
**[48:32] Kenma**
*I've now equipped two shields.*
**[48:35] Inuoka**
I'm gonna do my best!
**[48:40] Sugawara**
Nekoma's floor defense already
hard enough to deal with...
**[48:43] Sugawara**
Now they're literally making
their walls up front higher?!
**[48:46] Sugawara**
There's gotta be a rule against this!
**[48:49] Kenma**
If there's another high set to Shoyo...
**[48:52] Kenma**
I need you to hold back on the block timing.
**[48:54] Lev and Inuoka**
Right!
**[48:55] Kenma**
Shoyo is able to stay in the air
way longer than us.
**[48:58] Yamamoto**
Right!

Yeah, I've got no idea myself.

Yeah, I know. But I'm so mad!
**[50:57] Akane**
I know I'm speaking nonsense, but I'm so mad!

Now they've both got one set each.
***SIGN*** Karasuno

Not to mention, their #10's
completely back on his feet again...
**[51:15] Kenma**
* I figured that Kageyama wouldn't have any*
* interest in Shoyo if he couldn't jump at 100%.*
**[51:21] Kenma**
* But when he couldn't jump at 100%,*
* Kageyama just made it so he could.*
**[51:28] (Flashback) Nekomata**
They'll become a pair of oni.
**[51:31] Kageyama**
Stop feeling so cocky
over something that was pure luck.
**[51:34] Hinata**
Could you compliment me every once in a while?!
**[51:36] Kageyama**
You were thinking about a bunch of
useless things earlier, weren't you?
**[51:39] Lev**
Okay, let's just get out there and win this!
**[51:41] Lev**
I'll score twenty points myself!
**[51:44] Lev**
You guys can take care of the other five.
**[51:46] Kuroo**
Hey, did you guys know?
**[51:49] Kuroo**
When you're working out...
**[51:51] Kuroo**
Rather than doing a hundred normal sit-ups,
**[51:53] Kuroo**
you're better off doing them with
just enough weight that you
**[51:56] Kuroo**
can do maybe ten of them.
**[52:01] Yaku**
The hell are you talking about?
**[52:03] Lev**
What?! You sure you're not better off
just doing as many as you can?!
**[52:07] Kuroo**
Which means, what?
**[52:09] Lev**
Rather than scoring twenty normal points,
we need to score a heavy single point?
**[52:12] Kuroo**
Nod.
**[52:13] Yaku**
Don't "nod" out loud.
What even is a "heavy single point"?
**[52:16] Yaku**
Just score twenty!
**[52:21] Lev**
Hey, did you know? When you work out...
**[52:22] Kuroo**
Hello?!
**[52:23] Kuroo**
You of all people need to
be way more hyped!
**[52:25] Lev**
What, Shibayama?
**[52:26] Kuroo**
By the way, wasn't that last line shot
you did pretty awesome?!
**[52:26] Shibayama**
No, it's nothing.
**[52:30] Kuroo**
When'd you even practice that?
**[52:31] Yamamoto**
Thank you very much!
**[52:32] Yamamoto**
All right!
**[52:33] Naoi**
Kuroo's as impressive as ever.
**[52:35] Kuroo**
We need to be careful with our

**[52:38] Kuroo**
The last one was good.
**[52:40] Kenma**
I already said that.
**[52:41] Kuroo**
Well, okay then!
**[52:44] Kuroo**
What?
**[52:46] Kenma**
I was just thinking how you talk so much.

Okay, sucker punch.

**[53:04] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
If you hit right here, it'll go up just fine.
**[53:07] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
Why don't you just find someone
who can play volleyball?
**[53:09] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
It's gotta be boring playing with an amateur.
**[53:12] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
It's not boring! You're a fast learner!
And you're smart!
**[53:16] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
R-Really?
**[53:18] Kenma**
* I ended up playing volleyball*
* for the first time after Kuro,*
**[53:22] Kenma**
* who ended up moving next door,*
* invited me to play.*
**[53:25] Kenma**
* I was doomed the second*
* I fell for his flattery.*
**[53:28] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
H-Hey, are you free Saturday?
**[53:37] (Flashback) Kids**
There!
**[53:40] (Flashback) Kids**
Got it!
**[53:41] (Flashback) Coach**
Hey, there. Did you come to watch?
Did you want to play?
**[53:44] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
Yeah!
**[53:46] (Flashback) Coach**
There!
**[53:48] (Flashback) Kid A**
Dang it!
**[53:50] (Flashback) Coach**
Here it comes!
**[53:52] (Flashback) Coach**
Wow, you're really good!
**[53:57] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
That looks cooler. You're not gonna do that?
**[54:02] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
They're doing spikes!
They're really cool, right?
**[54:06] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
But... you can't really hit them
unless you're tall.
**[54:10] (Flashback) Nekomata**
Then we just need to lower the net.
**[54:13] (Flashback) Nekomata**
It's important to learn something
starting with the joy of doing it.
**[54:17] (Flashback) Nekomata**
If you like something,
then you'll get better at doing it.
**[54:21] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
Huh?
**[54:28] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
Ow!
**[54:43] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
I hit it!
**[54:45] Kenma**
*It was a very small thing.*
**[54:45] (Flashback) Coach**
Nice spike! That was perfect!
**[54:47] Kenma**
* But I figured that Kuro would*
* probably never forget this day.*
**[54:48] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
Thank you very much!
**[54:50] (Flashback) Coach**
Want to hit another one?
**[54:52] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
Yes, sir!
**[55:00] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
Kenma! Let's play volleyball!
**[55:03] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**

Hey! Hey! Did you see that just now?!
**[55:30] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
Huh, what?!
**[55:31] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
He looked to the right for just a second,
**[55:32] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
so you think he's gonna set over there,
but then he set to the left!
**[55:37] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
It stopped raining, so let's stop
watching already and go outside!
**[55:41] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
You're the one who brought this over, Kuro.
**[55:43] (Flashback) Kid Kenma**
Hey, bring the one you
brought over last week again.
**[55:46] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
What?!
**[55:48] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**

**[56:11] (Flashback) Kenma's Father**
Oh, Tetsu-kun!
**[56:13] (Flashback) Kenma's Father**
Er... I was wondering if you'd take Kenma to
play soccer with you every once in a while.
**[56:21] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
But I don't think Kenma wants to go.
**[56:24] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
I totally get why he wouldn't want to go.
**[56:27] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
If he seemed like he wanted to go at all,
I'd take him with me, but he doesn't.
**[56:32] (Flashback) Kid Kuroo**
But if Kenma likes doing something,
he'll do his best, so don't worry!
**[56:38] (Flashback) Kenma's Father**
I see.
**[56:44] Kenma**
If you were just some annoying party guy jerk,
I wouldn't be playing with you.
**[56:48] Kuro**
Huh? Why do you keep randomly attacking me?!
**[56:52] Kenma**
Honestly, if I had a choice,
I'd rather not sweat,
**[56:56] Kenma**
and there are times I'd rather be
playing video games than practicing,
**[57:00] Kenma**

watching volleyball to playing it.

**[1:16:35] Yaku**
It's like I hurt my leg again!
**[1:16:38] Hinata**
Kenma.
**[1:16:43] Hinata**
Let's—
**[1:16:43] Kageyama**
Let's play again.
**[1:16:44] Hinata**
Hey! I was just trying to say that!
**[1:16:48] Kageyama**
Huh? Like I care.
**[1:16:51] Hinata**
Kenma!
**[1:16:53] Hinata**
Let's play again next year!
**[1:16:58] Kenma**
Yeah, let's.
**[1:17:05] Kuroo**
Kenma! Let's go.
**[1:17:08] Kenma**
Er, yeah. See you later, Shoyo.
**[1:17:12] Hinata**
Yeah! Later!
**[1:21:12] Kuroo**
Looks like the match on
Court A is gonna end quick.
**[1:21:15] Yaku**
Yeah. One of the favorites,
Itachiyama, is playing.
**[1:21:21] Mika**
Wow! He's even taller in person!
**[1:21:24] Daisho**
He's just making himself seem taller
by spiking up his hair like that.
**[1:21:27] Kuroo**
I can hear you, thanks.
**[1:21:29] Daisho**
Sorry, can I get just a second?
**[1:21:32] Mika**
Yeah, sure. I'm going to
go look at the souvenirs.
**[1:21:35] Daisho**
Thanks!

**[1:21:42] Daisho**
Welcome over to this side, losers!
**[1:21:48] Kuroo**
Hey! Someone hurry up and
get a photo of this jerk's face!
**[1:21:51] Kuroo**
I'm gonna show Mika-chan!
**[1:21:52] Daisho**
Well, no need to get too depressed.
**[1:21:55] Daisho**
Every single team other than one
is destined to lose.
**[1:21:59] Daisho**
It's just a matter of when. It's no big deal.
**[1:22:03] Daisho**
You didn't actually think you guys were
going to win the whole thing, did you?
**[1:22:09] Kuroo**
It's true that it's really
rare to find someone
**[1:22:12] Kuroo**
who genuinely 100% believes they're going to win.
**[1:22:16] Daisho**
What the hell? You're supposed
to be more pissed than that.
**[1:22:19] Daisho**
Don't let all my instigating go to waste.
**[1:22:23] Daisho**
In the end, it doesn't matter
if you end up winning or losing.
**[1:22:28] Daisho**
You're not gonna give up
playing because you'll lose,
**[1:22:31] Daisho**
and you're not playing
just because you can win.
**[1:22:32] Daisho**
I know that, damn it!
**[1:22:34] Kuroo**
Daisho-kun, watch your mouth.
Don't make me take video.
**[1:22:37] Yaku**
Why are you getting all mad when
you're the one doing all the instigating?
**[1:22:41] Daisho**
Shut the hell up, you jerks! Morons!
**[1:22:43] Mika**
Are you done now?
**[1:22:45] Daisho**
Oh, yeah! How long
have you been standing there?
**[1:22:48] Daisho**
What should we have for lunch?
**[1:22:50] Mika**
Hm... How about some omelets?
**[1:22:52] Daisho**
Sounds great!
**[1:22:53] Yaku**
What's that guy's problem?
**[1:22:54] Kuroo**
He's hilarious.
**[1:22:57] Daisho**
There are probably a lot of
good restaurants around here.
**[1:23:08] Kai**
It's really rare to find someone who genuinely
100% believes they're going to win.
**[1:23:15] Kai**
It's not exactly the same as believing...
**[1:23:18] Kai**
But there are some guys who
can get obsessed with winning.

**[1:23:52] (Flashback) Hoshiumi**
Are you paying attention
to me because I'm small?
**[1:23:56] (Flashback) Hoshiumi**
Even though being smaller puts you
at a disadvantage in volleyball,
**[1:24:00] (Flashback) Hoshiumi**
it doesn't make you completely helpless!
**[1:24:05] Hoshiumi**
I saw your second and third rounds.
**[1:24:08] Hoshiumi**
You played brilliantly.
**[1:24:11] Hoshiumi**
Let's find out who the current Little Giant...
**[1:24:18] Hoshiumi**
actually is.
