All right!

**[00:10] Crowd**
Nice, nice, Kohei! Go, go,

Okay, one more!
**[00:21] Aka**
*Wait... It's too early for that.*
**[00:26] Guy**
I think things are going pretty well.
**[00:28] Guy**
That Bokuto guy's not a big deal at all.
**[00:30] Bg**
Fukurodani! Fukurodani! Fukurodani!
**[00:30] Bg**
Nice, nice, Eiwa! Go, go, Eiwa!
**[00:36] Aka**
*It's not like he's gotten blocked yet today,*
**[00:39] ---**
* and it's not like anything*
* else should've set him off.*
**[00:42] Aka**
*What's causing this?*
**[00:44] Guy**
Hey, what's wrong? Cheer up, already.
**[00:48] Boku**
I...
**[00:52] Boku**
I wanted to play in the main arena, too!
**[01:00] Aka**
* Bokuto-san's weakness number 6...*
* He wants to stand out.*
**[01:04] Boku**
It's way bigger over there,
and there are more people.

Line up!
**[02:49] Tashi**
Nice game!
**[02:52] Shima**
Congrats!
**[02:52] Tashi**
You did so good!
**[02:54] Taki**
Good work! You guys did great!
**[02:55] Sawa**
Tashiro-san and Kurokawa-kun are here!
**[02:56] Tashi**
Sawamura! Sugawara! Azumane!
**[02:57] Suga**
You didn't notice, Daichi?
**[03:00] Azu**
I didn't notice them for a while, either.
**[03:05] Sawa**
*Crap, I didn't notice at all...*

**[03:23] Tashi**
Oh, crap. You're way bigger
up close, Sawamura.
**[03:27] Sawa**
Wait, did I gain weight?!
**[03:29] Tashi**
No, I mean you're bigger in general.
**[03:31] All**
Hello, Kurokawa-san!
**[03:34] Yama**
I guess he's an alumnus.
**[03:36] Hina**
Oh! So he's our senpais' senpai!
**[03:39] Sawa**
Hinata! Yamaguchi!
**[03:42] Sawa**
Kageyama and Tsukishima, you
guys come over here, too.
**[03:45] Sawa**
Let me introduce you guys.
**[03:47] Sawa**
This is Tashiro-san, who was the
captain when I was a first-year.
**[03:50] Sawa**
And this is Kurokawa-kun, who was our
captain when I was a second-year.
**[03:53] Both**
Hello!
**[03:55] Kage**
Hello.
**[03:57] Tashi**
Whoa!
**[04:01] Tashi**
Are they really first-years?
**[04:04] Suga**
Sadly...
**[04:06] Sawa**
We should have some bentos,
**[04:07] ---**
so go ask Shimizu about them,
and hand them out to everyone.
**[04:10] Hina/Yama**
Right!
**[04:11] Kuro**
That first-year setter and tiny
middle blocker... Who are they?
**[04:16] Sawa**
Kageyama, the setter, is an amazing kid
**[04:19] ---**
that's also a candidate
for the All-Japan team.
**[04:23] Sawa**
The tiny one...
Er, I don't know what to say...
**[04:28] Suga**
He's an energetic brat.
**[04:29] Azu**
An athletic monster.
**[04:31] Kuro**
What about when he was in middle school?
**[04:32] Sawa**
He was totally an unknown.
**[04:35] Sawa**
And sometimes... He's like a
completely unknown force...
**[04:42] Suga**
He picked a fight with
Shiratorizawa's Ushiwaka.
**[04:45] Tashi**
Seriously?! With *the* Ushiwaka?!
**[04:48] Kuro**
An unknown force...
**[04:51] Kuro**
I'm pretty sure that's what the other
schools think of Karasuno right now.
**[04:57] Kuro**
Make sure you win the next match, too.
**[05:00] All**
Right!
**[05:05] Tashi**
I wanted to be the one...
who told them to win.
**[05:10] Kuro**
Sorry...
***SIGN*** Nekoma Kiyokawa
**[05:19] Yama**
Yeah!
**[05:22] Suga**
They're good... But I mean...
**[05:24] Suga**
There's basically no team here who
doesn't have someone amazing.
**[05:30] Guys**
Nice receive!
**[05:35] Guys**
Nice receive!
**[05:39] Guys**
Nice receive!
**[05:44] Azu**
Oh, man... This is hard...
This is so exhausting...
**[05:47] Suga**
You're empathizing way
too much with Kiyokawa's ace.
**[05:52] Sawa**
Those are some nice receives.
**[05:53] Guy**
Out!
**[05:55] Hina**
Out!
**[05:56] Tana**
There was nowhere he could go with that.
**[05:59] Kuro**
One touch!
**[06:01] Guy**
Fukunaga!
***SIGN*** Nekoma Kiyokawa

**[06:32] Sawa**
We have a little time after we eat, so
you guys can go shopping if you want.
**[06:37] Hina**
I'm gonna go buy a
"The Way of the Ace" shirt!
**[06:40] Yama**
Wait, Hinata! I'll go with you!
**[06:45] Guy**
That's Karasuno's setter.
Man, he looks intense.
**[06:49] Guy**
He's definitely got a presence...
**[06:53] Kage**
* I need to go check out*
* the new T-shirts, too.*
**[07:01] Yama**
Maybe I'll buy a T-shirt
to use at practices, too.
**[07:06] Hina**
Could I get a small in that shirt, please?
***SIGN*** The Way of the Ace

**[07:10] Boku**
I...
**[07:12] Boku**
I wanted to play in the main arena, too!
**[07:15] Boku**
The main arena's bigger!
**[07:23] Both**
*We let our guard down...*
**[07:26] Guy**
* Last year at the tournament,*
* our match was the 8th match,*
**[07:28] ---**
* and the match before us was running longer*
* than scheduled, so we started after 7 PM.*
**[07:32] Guy**
* There were barely any*
* players or audience left.*
**[07:35] Guy**
* It was insanely hard to*
* keep Bokuto motivated!*
**[07:40] Boku**
It's sorta cold...
**[07:42] Coach**
Why are you like this? Why do
you let this crap bother you?
**[07:42] Guy**
But we're playing in the middle of the day
this time, so we thought he'd be okay!
**[07:45] ---**
Not to mention, you knew this
would happen since yesterday!
**[07:48] Coach**
Are you really going to let the
court decide how you play?
**[07:53] Guy**
Well, whatever.
**[07:54] Guy**
He'll get into it eventually.
**[07:55] Guy**
This happens all the time. Whatever.
**[07:56] Coach**
Hurry up and get over it already!
**[07:57] Coach**
You know we're at the
Spring Tournament right now.
**[07:57] Guy**
It's not like Bokuto's
always on point anyway.
**[08:00] Guy**
Senpai, you say the best things.
**[08:03] Both**
Say more!
**[08:04] Guy**
Bokuto sure loses motivation fast.
I mean, he's actually being serious right now.
**[08:10] Guy**
Then again, I don't think
Bokuto-san could understand
**[08:15] ---**
not being able to do your best
due to nerves or pressure.
**[08:21] Guy**
He'll be fine.
**[08:25] Guy**
Because we're stronger.
***SIGN*** Eiwa Fukurodani
**[08:33] Guy**
Fukurodani Academy is slowly catching up!
**[08:36] Guy**
Though their ace, Bokuto Kotaro,
hasn't gotten many hits through yet.
**[08:41] Guy**
Eiwa High School was the
most cautious about Bokuto,
**[08:45] ---**
so they may be a bit confused right now.
**[08:48] Guy**
Konoha-san!
**[08:50] Kono**
Right!
**[08:51] Guy**
*It's a dump!*
**[08:52] Kono**
Saru!
**[08:54] Kono**
Nice kill!
**[08:55] Both**
Yeah!
**[08:59] Bg**
Nice kill, Sarukui!
**[09:00] Aka**
* Bokuto-san's starting to get*
* restless. Any time now...*
**[09:08] Aka**
Bokuto-san.
**[09:11] Aka**
This is basically the center court.
**[09:24] Aka**
The main arena is definitely
bigger and has more people.
**[09:28] Aka**
But...
**[09:30] Aka**
Only about a quarter of those people
are actually watching you, Bokuto-san.
**[09:34] Aka**
But the only ones competing here are us.
**[09:39] Aka**
Everyone... is watching you.
**[09:45] Guy**
* I mean... the number of people*
* watching basically doesn't change...*
**[09:50] Aka**
*Just one more push.*
**[09:52] Aka**
And...
**[09:55] Aka**
Your student has come to see you, too!
**[09:57] Hina**
Hey, he saw us. Bokuto-san!
***SIGN*** The Way of the Ace

**[10:11] Aka**
* To be honest, I don't exactly*
* know how Bokuto-san works yet.*
**[10:16] Aka**
*Though this may look silly to most,*
**[10:18] Omi**
Sorry, cover!
**[10:19] Aka**
*this is all very important to Bokuto-san.*
**[10:21] Aka**
Bokuto-san!
**[10:25] Guy**
Left! Left!
**[10:30] Kono**
Three blockers!
**[10:42] Guy**
And there it is! Line shot!
**[10:49] Yama**
That shot was right on the line!
**[10:52] Aka**
*It's because we're in the sub arena...*
**[10:54] Girl**
Bokuto!
**[10:55] Guy**
Nice kill!
**[10:56] Crowd**
Good job, Bokuto!
**[10:56] Aka**
* ...that the crowd is closer, and*
* we can hear their voices clearly.*
**[10:57] Crowd**
Bokuto-senpai!
**[11:01] Bokuto**
Hey, hey, hey!
***SIGN*** Eiwa Fukurodani
**[11:23] Boku**
Hey, hey, hey!
**[11:24] Saru**
We're lucky that the little guy from
Karasuno showed up at the perfect time.
**[11:28] Saru**
I'm surprised you found him.
**[11:30] Aka**
Yeah...
**[11:32] Aka**
But even if Hinata didn't show up, we
just needed to make an opportunity.
**[11:36] Kono**
Akaashi, you know you can
ignore Bokuto sometimes.
**[11:41] Kono**
Though we might be in trouble if he
doesn't get back on game at times.
**[11:47] Aka**
I'm only able to draw out just a
part of Bokuto-san's abilities.
**[11:51] Aka**
And... Watching Bokuto-san
when he's on top of his game
**[11:55] ---**
is really satisfying.
**[11:58] Saru**
Why not just tell him that to his face?
**[12:00] Kono**
No, no! Then he'll never shut up!
**[12:03] Boku**
Hey, you guys!

Oh... Hoshiumi-san. Hi.
**[13:22] Hoshi**
Oh hey, Kageyama. How'd your match go?
**[13:24] Kage**
We won.
**[13:25] Hoshi**
Ah, congrats.
**[13:27] Kage**
Thanks.
**[13:29] Yama**
So... Do you know him, Kageyama?
**[13:32] Kage**
We were at the youth camp
together. This is Hoshiumi-san.
**[13:35] Both**
Youth camp!
**[13:38] Hoshi**
So they're on your team.
**[13:40] Kage**
Yup.
**[13:44] Hoshi**
What position do you play?
**[13:46] Hina**
Middle blocker.
**[13:50] Hoshi**
How tall are you?
**[13:52] Hina**
16...5 cm!
**[13:56] Yama**
*He added a centimeter.*
**[13:58] Hoshi**
What's your running vertical?
**[14:01] Hina**
333 cm!
**[14:03] Hoshi**
I win!
**[14:06] Guy**
Korai-kun, what are you doing?
**[14:08] ---**
The game before ours is almost over.
***SIGN*** Karasuno High School Volleyball Club

Sure.
**[14:18] Guy**

***SIGN*** He who laughs in the face of grit will be made to cry by grit

**[14:23] Guy**
Don't worry. I'm pretty sure
it's not that in demand.
**[14:26] Hoshi**
Why wouldn't it be?!

**[14:33] Sawa**
He's still talking to some of the
previous Coach Ukai's acquaintances.
**[14:38] Sawa**
How have the matches been?
**[14:39] Suga**
That #5 guy from Kamomedai
is really amazing.
**[14:44] Azu**
Oh, here he is.
**[14:46] Azu**
Hoshiumi Korai. 169 cm.
**[14:48] Guy**
Left, left!
**[14:56] Yama**
Whoa! He hit that above the block!
**[15:00] Yama**
He's supposed to be amazing, right?
**[15:03] Yama**
Was he in one of the magazines?
**[15:05] Kage**
Nah. Apparently, he absolutely
hates interviews.
**[15:08] Yama**
Really? I'd be super excited to even
do an interview for the school paper.
**[15:17] Kage**
Where are you going?
**[15:20] Hina**
I want to watch from up closer!
**[15:22] Guy**
Korai!
**[15:28] Guy**
Stuffed! Look at that block!
**[15:32] Guy**
That was Hoshiumi-kun again, wasn't it?
**[15:33] Guy**
Indeed, it was.
**[15:41] Guy**
Again?
**[15:42] Guy**
Wow...
**[15:45] Guy**
Dang, he can do anything.
**[15:48] Guy**
Who the heck is their #5?
**[15:58] Guy**
Service ace!
**[16:00] Guy**
Hoshiumi does it again! He can't be stopped!
**[16:04] Guy**
The one-man army is on a roll!
**[16:08] Guy**
He's indeed...
**[16:09] Guy**
A little giant!
**[16:19] Suga**
Wow...
**[16:23] Suga**
Hinata's never faltered against
two-meter-tall opponents,
**[16:27] Suga**
but I wonder if it's more shocking for him
**[16:30] ---**
to see someone in a similar
situation that's above him.
**[16:37] Suga**
That just popped up in my head for a sec.
***SIGN*** Kamomedai Chiuida
**[16:49] Girl**
Hoshiumi!
**[16:51] Girl**
You were amazing out there! Congratulations!
**[16:55] Hoshi**
Thank you.
**[16:57] Girl**
Your opponents had an average
height of over 180 cm!
**[17:00] Girl**
They were all way taller than you!
**[17:03] Girl**
How did that make you feel?
**[17:04] Guy**
Uh-oh... Not good.
**[17:06] Guy**
Huh?
**[17:07] Guy**
Korai-kun hates it when someone
mentions how small he is
**[17:10] ---**
or says, "Even though you're so tiny..."
**[17:14] Guy**
For as long as I can remember, whenever
he made a play way better than the others,
**[17:17] Guy**
he'd always get told, "You're so
amazing even though you're so small!"
**[17:20] Guy**
So he'd just say, "I'm
just amazing, period."
**[17:24] Hoshi**
Compared to the rest of the world, being
over 180 cm isn't really that big of a deal.
**[17:29] Girl**
Huh? The world?
**[17:32] Hoshi**
Are you paying attention
to me because I'm small?
**[17:35] Girl**
Uh... U-Um...
**[17:38] Guy**
*But the thing Korai-kun hates the most...*
**[17:42] Guy**
* is to be told, "You lost*
* because you're so small."*
**[17:47] Hoshi**
Everyone thinks that being small is
more detrimental than it actually is.
**[17:54] Hoshi**
Even though being smaller puts you
at a disadvantage in volleyball,
**[17:59] Hoshi**
it doesn't make you completely helpless!
**[18:18] Guy**
All right, that's enough.
**[18:19] Guy**
Sorry about that. He likes to rant.
**[18:23] Hoshi**
What?!
**[18:24] Hiru**
She was trying to give you
an honest compliment.
**[18:28] Hiru**
You said yourself that your height
puts you at a disadvantage.
**[18:30] Hiru**
Of course it means you're amazing
if you can still play this well, then.
**[18:34] Hiru**
You're too self-conscious.
**[18:37] Hoshi**
Could you not be so blunt about it?!
**[18:40] Hiru**
Go on. Apologize to the nice lady.
**[18:44] Hoshi**
I'm sorry...
**[18:45] Girl**
It's fine...
**[19:02] Yama**
Oh, he's back.
**[19:04] Yama**
Hinata, Ukai-san's back,
so we're taking off.
**[19:14] Hina**
I'm...
**[19:18] Hina**
I'm so happy I made it here!
**[19:28] Suga**
Guess I was worried for nothing.
**[19:33] Hoshi**
Everyone's just so...
**[19:38] (Flashback) Kage**
You're a great reference, too.
**[19:41] Hoshi**
You all need to act more freaked out!
**[19:48] Kuro**
Hey there, now...
**[19:51] Kuro**
Looks like we've got us some
country bumpkin crows.
**[19:53] Kuro**
Good for you.
**[19:54] Kuro**
You came all this way and you don't
have to go back immediately.
**[19:58] Suga**
We didn't travel that* far...
**[20:06] Kuro**
Well... Try to survive tomorrow, too.
**[20:10] Sawa**
Right back at you.
**[20:22] Guy**
* As soon as both Kuroo-san and Sawamura-san*
