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

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

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

I bought it during this

That was a wicked cut shot!
**[14:32] Boku**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[14:36] Akane**
That's no fair...
**[14:39] Akane**
That was way too cool!

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

Their #11's probably gonna miss.

Don't laugh at that Kenma-san!
**[18:23] Dai**
Their #4 can't hit a line shot!
**[18:25] Se**
No line shot.

Yeah!

Sorry! I thought they might feint
again, so I came up front...

How's your eye?

It's fine!

Ugh, he pisses me off!
**[19:38] Lev**
Has the captain of Nohebi
always been like that?!

One touch!

*Damn it...*

We've gotta be more tenacious!
