[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! SIGN    Haikyu!! SIGN    Karasuno Tebaichi Ohgi Minami SIGN    Episode 12: "Let the Games Begin!"

[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?

[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.

[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!

[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...

[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.

[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.

[12:12] 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!

[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! [17:44] Take     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!

[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! SIGN    Episode 13: "A Simple and Pure Strength" [23:57] Yama     Next time on Haikyu!!:     "A Simple and Pure Strength."
