[00:10] Guy
Can I get a copy?
[00:11] Girl
Yes.
[00:12] Crowd
Go, go, Tebaichi!
Push it, push it, Tebaichi!
[00:15] Crowd
Go, go, Tebaichi!
Push it, push it, Tebaichi!
[00:19] Guya
That's them. You know, Karasuno.
[00:21] Guyb
Karasuno?
[00:22] Guya
They're the ones that played a full set
with Aoba Johsai at the Inter-High prelims
[00:26] Guya
and actually almost beat them.
[00:28] Guyb
Whoa, seriously?
[00:30] Guya
Apparently, Kitagawa Daiichi's
King of the Court is on that team.
[00:32] Kage
When does the judging start?
[00:34] Guyc
Apparently Chidoriyama Junior High's
Nishinoya is also there, too.
[00:35] Nishi
Probably the next one, since we
don't have a match this round.
[00:37] Guyb
The guy who was called the best
libero when we were in junior high?
[00:39] Guya
Yeah. But other than the libero,
[00:42] ---
I think there was one other guy who
kept receiving Oikawa's serves.
[00:46] Guya
I think it's their captain.
[00:48] Guyb
But the members of Karasuno don't
really seem that tall, do they?
[00:51] Guya
I'm pretty sure one of them is close to 190 cm,
[00:54] Guya
though I don't think he stood out
much during the Inter-High prelims.
[00:58] Guya
Not to mention, their two
lefts are pretty scary.
[01:01] Guya
They look like power spikers.
[01:03] Guya
And most importantly...
[01:06] Guya
Their manager's cute.
[01:06] Shimi
I'm sorry that you have to cheer
from up above, Hitoka-chan.
[01:07] Guyb
Or rather, she's hot. Or rather, she's sexy!
[01:11] Guya
Also, there's that one guy...
[01:13] Guya
The tiny middle blocker that
hits those crazy quicks...
[01:17] Guya
Karasuno's #10!
[01:20] Guya
Whoa, what the heck?
He looks like he's skin and bones!
[01:24] Yachi
H-Hinata, are you okay?
[01:26] Hina
Yep, I'm fine.
[01:28] Hina
I threw up on the way here, so I feel better.
[01:31] Tsuki
Of course you'd feel sick after eating
all those pork bowls for breakfast.
[01:34] Hina
It's normal to eat pork cutlets on game days!
[01:37] Tsuki
And by "normal," you mean...
[01:38] Kage
You dumbass! Hinata, you stupid dumbass!
[01:41] Sawa
Kageyama's insult vocabulary
is limited to "dumbass."
[01:45] Kage
I-I'll do my best to widen my vocabulary!
[01:46] Yachi
I have that one thing you can drink!
[01:47] Yama
I-I feel like I'm going to puke, too,
after remembering Hinata puking...
[01:48] Hina
Oh, thanks!
[01:51] Tsuki
Huh?
[01:52] Tsuki
Go to the bathroom, already!
[01:53] Azu
M-My nerves are getting to me, too...
[01:57] Suga
I thought you were busy concentrating,
but you were actually trying not to puke?!
[02:00] Nishi
Shoyo, is this seriously the second
time you threw up on the bus?
[02:04] Tana
You were able to actually hold
it in until the bus stopped,
[02:06] ---
instead of puking on someone's crotch.
[02:08] Tana
You've really grown up, Hinata.
[02:12] Guyb
Is that really the team
that almost beat Seijoh?
[02:14] Nishi
Shoyo!

The time to pee has come!
[03:54] Hina
Bathroom, bathroom...
[03:56] Hina
Ow. Oh, I'm sorry...
[03:58] Towa
The hell are you looking?!
[04:00] Hina
I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!
[04:02] Hina
He's from...
[04:04] ---
Ohgi Minami?
[04:05] Hina
That's the team we're playing first.
[04:07] Hina
They won their first match already.
[04:09] Towa
Hm? Oh, you're just a junior high kid.
[04:11] Hina
Huh?
[04:12] Towa
Hey, sorry for yelling at you.
[04:14] Towa
You here to cheer your big
brother on, or something?
[04:17] Towa
My little brother loves that T-shirt, too.
[04:21] Hina
I... I'm first-year at Karasuno
High School, Hinata Shoyo.
[04:25] Hina
We're going to win, and go to nationals!
[04:31] Towa
What? Karasuno?
[04:35] Towa
Don't make going to nationals sound so easy.
[04:38] Hina
Huh? But I mean it.
[04:40] Towa
Shut up, you little—
[04:43] Hina
I'm gonna beat everyone, and go to Tokyo.
[04:49] Towa
Even if you were somehow
lucky enough to keep winning,
[04:52] Towa
everyone just gets crushed
by Shiratorizawa in the end.
[04:55] Hina
Huh?
[04:56] Towa
Let's at least make some good memories.
SIGN Higashida
[05:04] Sawa
The previous match is over.
[05:06] Sawa
Let's go!
[05:07] Karasu
Yeah!
SIGN Fly
[05:10] Taza
Shut up, morons.
[05:15] Tana
Looks like Ohgi Minami's
a team full of punks.
[05:19] Suga
Did that really come out of your mouth?
[05:20] Suga
Stop making that face.
[05:26] Kage
Nice kill!
[05:27] Koya
Your shaved head is seriously lame.
[05:29] Koya
Seriously, like seriously, seriously...
[05:32] Tana
I'm going forth. Let us play a good game.
[05:37] Tana
Take this, damn it!
SIGN Put Your Heart Into It
[05:40] Kage
Nice kill!
[05:43] Tana
Thank you for that opportunity.
[05:48] Karasu
Nice kill!
SIGN Power at Full Throttle! Pick Up the Ball and Win!

Everyone on Karasuno has really
high attack power.

SIGN Fly
[06:06] Yachi
The spring tournament... Karasuno's battle...

Let's play!
[06:13] Yachi
...is about to start!
[06:14] Bg Cheer
Go, go, let's go! Let's go, Kaji!
[06:15] Kei
Listen up.
[06:16] Kei
All of their third-years are already gone,
[06:19] Kei
but their power has always
been with their second-years.
[06:21] Kei
They also just won straight
through the first round.
[06:24] Kei
Don't let your guard down!
[06:26] ---
Make sure you're especially
cautious of their #1 on the left!
[06:28] All
Right!
[06:29] Take
Since the Inter-High prelims ended,
[06:32] Take
you've taken on unfamiliar challenges
and you haven't been in sync.
[06:35] Take
On top of that, you've lost
about seventy practice games
[06:37] ---
against the powerhouse schools from Kanto.
[06:40] Take
But your new weapons that kept failing at
first are finally starting to take shape.
[06:47] Take
Please get a win that makes up for
all of the frustration you felt.
SIGN There is No Victory Without Effort
SIGN One Heart
[06:51] Karasu
Right!
[06:52] Both
All right!
[06:53] Sawa
Karasuno, fight!
[06:55] Yachi
Yeah...
[06:55] All
Yeah!
[06:56] Old
Oh? So you came to watch the game, too,
[06:58] Old
Ukai-sensei?
[07:00] Ukai
Yeah.
[07:00] Old
I guess that is your
precious grandson's team.
[07:03] Ukai
That's got nothing to do with it!
[07:04] Yachi
Ukai? Grandson?
[07:06] Yuu
You're from Karasuno, too, right?
[07:08] ---
What are you doing up here?
[07:10] Yachi
Th-There's only one manager
allowed on the bench.
[07:13] Yachi
You didn't know that?
[07:14] Aya
Oh.
[07:15] ---
Ah, there's Sho-chan!
[07:15] Old
I actually just saw them play the other day,
[07:17] Yuu
Oh, yeah!
[07:18] ---
but they have an intense first-year duo.
[07:18] Yachi
Sho-chan? Oh, you mean Hinata.
[07:21] Old
Karasuno might actually make
it pretty far this year.
[07:24] Ukai
There's no match that you can't win,
[07:26] ---
and there's no match that
you'll win for sure.
[07:29] Ukai
You can feel a little off,
nervous, or panic...
[07:33] Ukai
No matter how strong the school,
their team members are human.
[07:37] Ukai
Even the slightest thing
can trip someone up.
[07:42] Ukai
Now... let's see how Karasuno will do today.
[07:46] Nishi
Asahi-san, nice serve!
[08:02] Karasu
All right!
[08:04] Yachi
Yay! That was amazing!
[08:05] Old
Starting with a no-touch ace.
[08:07] Ukai
Not bad.
[08:09] Kei
All right...
[08:11] ---
Let's go!
SIGN Ohgi Minami Karasuno
[08:25] Sawa
He changed it up to a tip.
[08:29] Tana
Daichi-san, nice!
[08:29] Yachi
S-So fast! It's like he was waiting for it!
[08:32] Sawa
I feel like I can see the spiker's
movements better than before.
[08:36] Nish
Asahi-san!
[08:39] Tsuki
Ever since the first round,
[08:41] ---
Ougi Minami hasn't been doing quicks
any time the receives were a bit off.
[08:45] Tsuki
Left.
[08:45] Person
Tazawa-san!
[08:50] Karasu
All right!
[08:53] Sawa
Nice, Tsukishima!
[08:53] Take
How do I put this...
[08:54] ---
It seems like everyone is hesitating
less in their movements.
[08:58] Kei
It wasn't like they were just practicing
their new moves at the training camp.
[09:03] Kei
They had plenty of practice against
[09:03] Tana
All right!
[09:05] ---
powerhouse schools that were
all completely different.
[09:06] Kage
Nice receive!
[09:07] Kei
The power behind their serves and spikes...
[09:10] ---
the diversity in their
attacks... their defense...
[09:12] Kei
Basically anything high-level...
[09:14] ---
They've gotten used to it...
[09:17] Kei
Far more than before.
[09:19] Karasu
All right!
[09:20] Towa
Damn it...
[09:28] Kage
All right!
[09:29] Nishi
Nice, Kageyama!
[09:29] Yachi
Another service ace!
[09:30] Kage
Thanks!
[09:31] ---
Now it's a set point.
SIGN Ohgi Minami
[09:35] Towaa
To think that we ended up against a
team this strong so early on again...

[09:56] (Flashback) Aki
Come on! We still have a chance!
[10:00] (Flashback) Aki
Let's get hyped up!
[10:01] (Flashback) ---
Where's your usual enthusiasm?!
[10:04] (Flashback) Aki
Yeah, that right there!
Bring that enthusiasm!
[10:05] Towa
The captain's voice was all raspy
[10:06] (Flashback) ---
Let's get one!
[10:07] ---
because he was trying to talk
over Shiratorizawa's cheers.
[10:14] (Flashback) Aki
It's up! Towada!
[10:18] (Flashback) Towa
Even if I went after it,
I wouldn't be able to reach it.
[10:20] (Flashback) Towa
Even if I could reach it,
[10:21] (Flashback) Towa
there's no guarantee that someone would connect next and be able to score.
[10:24] (Flashback) Towa
Even if it did connect, it'd
only get us one measly point.
[10:28] (Flashback) Towa
There's no point going after it...
SIGN Ohgi Minami High School
[10:48] (Flashback) Aki
Hey, don't look so glum!
[10:50] (Flashback) ---
You guys look even scarier.
[10:53] (Flashback) Aki
You guys were seriously
some problem children,
[10:55] (Flashback) Aki
but if you guys weren't here,
[10:57] (Flashback) ---
we wouldn't have been
able to have any matches.
[10:59] (Flashback) Aki
So thanks.
[11:01] (Flashback) Aki
You guys have the bodies and sense
for this, so keep doing your best!
[11:31] Karasu
All right!
SIGN Ohgi Minami Karasuno
[11:33] Yachi
Yay!
[11:34] Yuu
Sho-chan, that was awesome!
He jumped sideways!
[11:37] Towa
Damn...
[11:40] (Flashback) Hina
I'm gonna beat everyone, and go to Tokyo.
[11:44] Towa
So he wasn't just trying to
sound tough back there...
[11:46] Towa
He really means that he's
going to try to do that.
[11:49] Towa
With that tiny little body, he's
going to try to defeat Ushiwaka.
[11:49] Hina
All right!
SIGN Ohgi Minami
[11:56] Coach
L-Let's keep doing our best!
[11:58] Coach
Winning or losing doesn't matter.
[12:00] ---
What's more important is
that you guys do your best.
[12:05] Aki
Hey! Damn it!
[12:07] ---
Don't get all quiet!
[12:09] Towa
C-Captain Akki-kun!
[12:12] Aki
You guys are so tough when
it comes to fighting,
[12:15] ---
but why is it you get so weak
when it comes to volleyball?
[12:17] Towaa
Weak?!
[12:20] Aki
I-It doesn't matter how strong you are.
[12:22] ---
I'm on the second floor, so I'm not scared!
[12:25] Person
Why did he even come?
[12:28] Aki
You guys get just a little pushback,
and then you give up.
[12:31] Aki
That's what I mean by weak.
[12:34] Aki
This is your fight, so how you handle
it is up to you guys.
[12:37] Aki
But let me just say this...
[12:40] Aki
Being serious, giving your all,
and doing your best...
[12:43] Aki
None of that's lame!
[12:52] Guy
What the? Scary...
[12:54] Guy
Senpai, did you lose your mind?
[12:56] Towa
Sensei!
[12:57] Coach
Yes?
[12:58] Towa
You know, since we came here to fight each
other on the opposite sides of the net,
[13:02] Towa
I don't think we have any other
option than to win and continue on.
[13:07] Towa
Trying to act tough and worrying
more about how we look
[13:11] Towa
is pretty lame.
[13:14] Mori
Towada...
[13:15] Towa
All right, I'm gonna say it.
[13:16] Mori
What?
[13:21] Towa
We're going to beat Karasuno!
[13:22] Towa
We're gonna get through the prelims!
[13:24] Towa
We're going to fight Shiratorizawa!
[13:27] Aki
All right!
[13:29] Koyasu
You actually just said that!
[13:31] Tazawa
Well said, big mouth!
[13:33] Kara
So we're gonna try to beat Shiratorizawa?
[13:35] Yoko
Bring it on, then!
[13:38] Towa
We're seriously going to win, guys!
[13:40] All
Yeah!

[14:06] Karasu

SIGN Karasuno Ohgi Minami
[14:07] Hina
Yeah!
[14:09] Yachi
Yay!
[14:09] Suga
Nice, Hinata!
[14:10] Yuu
He did it again!
[14:12] Old
That first-year duo really is something.
[14:14] Ukai
Yeah.
[14:15] Ukai
But the second and third-years are
far beyond my expectations, too.
[14:19] Ukai
Right now, Karasuno is
on the brink of revival,
[14:22] Ukai
thanks in great part to their passionate
advisor and newfound strength.
[14:27] Ukai
But that's all because they
have a sturdy foundation.
[14:32] Old
Foundation?
[14:33] Ukai
Last year, just for a short time,
I came to see a practice at Karasuno.
[14:39] Ukai
At the time, they had the
ability and dedication.
[14:44] Ukai
However, I felt a lack
a confidence in them.
[14:47] Ukai
It's like they were
subconsciously used to losing.
[14:52] Old
They don't look like that now.
[14:54] Ukai
When the current third-years
came to Karasuno,
SIGN Monthly Volleyball
[14:59] Ukai
it was right around the time where
Karasuno being a powerhouse school
[15:02] Ukai
became a thing of the past.
[15:04] Ukai
I'm sure the gap between their
expectations and reality was pretty big.
[15:08] Ukai
They were probably around
during the worst time.
[15:13] Ukai
That's exactly why...
[15:16] Uai
The ones who didn't rot and didn't give up,
[15:19] Uai
and are still here now,
have an unwavering strength.
[15:22] Nishi
Daichi-san, nice receive!
[15:28] Karasu
All right!
[15:28] Yachi
Amazing! So amazing!
SIGN Karasuno Ohgi Minami
[15:30] Person
Whoa. There's a 10-point difference.
[15:32] Sawa
All right, let's keep this up to the end!
[15:33] Towa
Damn it, they're strong.
[15:34] All
Yeah!
[15:35] Coach
W-We still have a chance! Keep it up!
[15:38] Suga
One more, Kageyama!
[15:46] Both
All right!
[15:46] Karasu
All right!
[15:48] Enn
Kageyama's serves are sharp as hell.
[15:50] Suga
Yeah.
SIGN Karasuno Ohgi Minami
[15:51] ---
And now we're at match point.
[15:55] Towaa
Every single time...
We get cornered on the court,
[15:58] Towa
and I always regret how
much we didn't practice.
[16:00] Sawa
One more, Kageyama! Nice serve!
[16:04] Person
It looks like Karasuno
and Ougi Minami's match
[16:06] ---
is gonna end faster than I thought,
so let's get ready for the next match.
[16:10] Person
Yeah. Games sure go fast when
there's such a difference in ability.
[16:13] Aki
It's not over yet! Don't give up!
[16:28] Towa
I might just make it...
[16:31] ---
Or will I not?
[16:33] Towa
Well, we're still second-years,
[16:36] Towa
so I guess we'll have next year...
[16:43] Towa
And that's why you never
get any stronger, damn it!
[16:50] Towa
Connect and finish it!
[16:57] Nishi
Damn it!
[16:59] Hina
Tanaka-san!
[17:03] Yoko
It's not over yet!
[17:05] Towa
Give me the last one!
[17:15] Towa
I definitely underestimated him.
[17:18] Towa
I thought it was stupid for him to
think he'd make it to nationals.
[17:24] Towa
I'm...
[17:26] Towa
a fool.
[17:36] Karasu
All right!
[17:39] Yachi
Yay? Did we win?
[17:39] Old
All right!
[17:40] ---
We won!
[17:41] Yuu
So cool!
[17:43] Kei
All right!

They made it through their first set.
SIGN Karasuno Ohgi Minami
[17:48] Both
Thank you very much!
SIGN Ohgi Minami
[18:05] Aki
Great job! You guys fought until the end!
[18:11] Towa
Yeah.
[18:13] Aki
Just so you know, frustration is the
right thing to be feeling right now.
[18:17] Aki
No matter what the fight is,
[18:19] ---
when you lose, it's only
natural to be frustrated.
[18:21] Aki
I'd go as far as saying even
guys who don't practice much
[18:25] Aki
probably feel frustrated
when they lose a game.
[18:28] Aki
I think frustration is real for anyone.
[18:33] Aki
But...
[18:35] Aki
Those who forget that frustration
after three days will always be weak.
[18:39] Aki
If you waste time
[18:41] Aki
during your three years in high
school, time will completely fly by.
[18:45] Aki
Don't you dare forget the frustration
you're feeling right now!
[18:52] Aki
W-Well, see ya.
[18:53] Aki
I'll come see you guys next
year, too, so do your best!

Nice receive!

This seriously messes with
your depth perception.

I just stood next to him in
the hallway and he was huge!
[19:32] Guyc
Well, yeah! He's two meters tall!
[19:42] Tana
That's creepy!

It's a weapon... His height is a weapon...

and continue on to the qualifiers in October.
SIGN No Shoes Allowed
[20:12] Sawa
We're gonna get through no matter what!

[20:15] Yachi
So it really is over just by losing once...
[20:20] Yachi
And yet...
[20:21] Yachi
That guy is two meters!
[20:29] Hina
Two meters is super huge!
[20:32] Yama
201 centimeters and 162 centimeters, huh...
[20:35] Hina
I'm 163 if you round up!
[20:37] Tsuki
201 centimeters and 162 centimeters...
[20:40] ---
There's a 40 centimeter difference.
[20:41] Hina
Listen!
[20:42] Yachi
F-Forty centimeters is the
same size as Ketty-chan.
[20:45] Yachi
That's not that big!
[20:48] Tsuki
Is that an attempt to cheer him up?
[20:49] Yama
Tekachu is also 40 centimeters.
[20:52] Tsuki
Note: Fujikujira sounds like a type of whale.
[20:52] Tsuki
So is a fujikujira.
[20:53] Yachi
F-Fujikujira?
[20:56] Yama
What's that?
[20:57] Tsuki
It's a kind of shark.
[20:58] Yachi
Oh...
[20:59] Yama
You're so smart, Tsukki!
SIGN Fly
[21:02] Hina
I... want to combine with that shark.
[21:05] Kage
What?
[21:06] Hina
If I combined with a fujikujira,
I'd be two meters tall...
[21:09] Kage
Hey, what are you talking about?
[21:12] Kage
Are you really scared?
[21:14] Hina
Huh?
[21:16] Sawa
Let's go!
[21:17] Karasu
All right!
[21:20] Yachi
H-He really seemed to want to combine
with that Etmopterus lucifer,
[21:23] Yachi
but I wonder if Hinata will be okay...
[21:25] Shimi
Oh, yeah...
[21:26] ---
I'm sure he'll be fine even if
he's like that before a match.
[21:29] Yachi
R-Right?!
[21:31] Old
Well, it's finally about to start.
[21:33] Old
But they're going up
against someone that big.
[21:37] Old
No, no. That has nothing to do
with how Karasuno is right now.
[21:40] Old
Right, Ukai-sensei?
[21:42] Ukai
Well, who knows?
[21:43] Old
Wha...
SIGN Fly
[21:45] Ukai
High school boys haven't finished growing yet,
[21:47] ---
and their plays aren't complete.
[21:50] Uaki
That's why a match can be decided
[21:53] ---
just by how tall someone is
or if a team has an amazing ace.
[21:55] Kei
Hurry up, Hinata.
[21:57] Old
B-But...
[21:57] Hina
R-Right!
[21:59] Ukai
Height, by itself, is a weapon in its own right.
[22:03] Ukai
Seeing how Karasuno
will deal with it...
[22:07] Sawa
Let's go.
[22:08] All
Right!
[22:12] Ukai
...will definitely be worth watching.
[23:46] Yama
So a fujikujira is a kind of shark, huh?
[23:48] Tsuki
There are a lot of fish with confusing names.
[23:50] Tsuki
For example, a kinmedai might sound like it's
related to sea bream, but it's a tropical fish.
[23:53] Yama
You really know a lot about fish, Tsukki.
[23:55] Tsuki
Shut up, Yamaguchi.
[23:55] Yama
Sorry, Tsukki!
