SIGN Miyagi Prefecture Tokonami High School
[00:05] Ikejiri
It's official.
[00:07] Ikejiri
I got the pairings for the
Inter-High preliminaries.
[00:10] Haga
At last.
[00:12] Chaya
Where's our first match gonna be?
[00:13] Haga
Let's see...
SIGN Ohmisaki
SIGN Tokonami
SIGN Karasuno
SIGN Date Tech
[00:15] Haga
Tori... Torino?
[00:16] Chaya
Torino? Is that a British school?
[00:19] Ikejiri
It's Karasuno, moron.
[00:20] Ikejiri
Besides, Torino would be Italian.
SIGN Tokonami
[00:22] Chaya
I've heard of that school. They're...
[00:27] Chaya
"The fallen champions. Flightless crows."
[00:30] Haga
What's that? Some kind of idiom?
[00:32] Ikejiri
They used to be strong.
[00:34] ---
I think they even went to nationals once.
[00:36] Chaya
I hear they're not even
worth mentioning nowadays.
[00:41] Haga
Then maybe, just maybe...
[00:42] Tamagawa
They'll be easy to beat.
[00:44] Both
We won't lose in the first round
like we do every year.
[00:46] Komaki
But to make that happen, we have to train.
[00:49] Haga
Captain.
[00:50] Komaki
Get running.
[00:52] All
Yes, sir...
[00:56] Ikejiri
A guy from my junior high
volleyball club is at Karasuno.
[01:02] Chaya
Is it your first time
seeing him since then?
[01:04] ---
We've never played
against that school before.
[01:06] Ikejiri
He used to talk about how
unforgettable Karasuno was
[01:10] ---
in the spring tournament he saw on TV.
[01:13] Ikejiri
But he probably went there
because it's close to his home.
[01:17] Ikejiri
I wonder how he's doing now...
[01:22] Ikejiri
Sawamura.
SIGN Haikyu!!
SIGN Episode 14: Formidable Opponents
[01:29] Kei
Follow up on that block! Get in there!
[01:31] Kei
Don't just stand and watch.
[01:32] Hinata
I'm sorry.
[01:33] Kei
"This is the last rally."
Always tell yourself that.
[01:36] Kei
Give it all you've got!
[01:39] Kei
If you don't, that one rally you wasted
[01:42] Kei
could cost you the match!
[01:48] (Flashback) Takeda
Everyone, you all did a good job
in today's matches against Nekoma.
[01:51] (Flashback) Takeda
Inter-High preliminaries begin
next month on June 2nd.
[01:57] (Flashback) Kei
There are no district
preliminaries in Miyagi,
[01:59] (Flashback) ---
so we go straight to
prefectural preliminaries.
SIGN Championship
[02:00] (Flashback) Kei
Out of about 60 teams in the prefecture,
only one will go to nationals.
SIGN The winning team
[02:06] (Flashback) Kei
Lose one match and the journey ends.
[02:09] (Flashback) Kei
If you want to take revenge on Nekoma,
[02:10] (Flashback) ---
you must take first place in Miyagi.
There's no other way.
[02:13] (Flashback) Kei
Second place won't cut it.
[02:15] (Flashback) Kei
Of course, they'll have to win the battle
to represent Tokyo, as well.
[02:19] (Flashback) Tanaka
Those guys can do it.
[02:21] (Flashback) Nishi
Yeah. They're strong.
[02:25] Hinata
Another match against Nekoma...
[02:28] Hinata
Again...
[02:35] Tanaka
Nice, Hinata.
[02:36] Kei
Get back up quickly! One more time!
[02:38] Hinata
Right! Got it!
[02:40] Sawa
Up front, up front!
[02:42] Suga
Cover.
SIGN Karasuno High School
Volleyball Club
[02:48] Nishi
You're right. That's amazing.
[02:51] Nishi
The picture's huge.
[02:52] Nishi
Yeah!
[02:53] Asahi
What, what?
[02:56] Hinata
What? What's that?
[02:58] Tanaka
Look.
SIGN Boy's High School
This year, pay special attention to these three
GUYS!
[03:00] Tanaka
Shiratorizawa's Ushiwaka is among the
three most-noticed high schoolers
[03:05] ---
in the whole country.
[03:08] Hinata
Shiratorizawa! That's where
Kageyama couldn't get in.
[03:10] Kage
Shut up.
[03:12] Kage (Background)
What's so funny, you bastards?
[03:13] Hinata
Who's Ushiwaka?
[03:15] Tsuki (Background)
We're not laughing.
[03:15] Tanaka
You don't know?
[03:16] Kage (Background)
You're full of it.
[03:17] Suga
That's because you're only
a fan of the Little Giant.
[03:19] Tanaka
Let me tell you about Ushiwaka.
[03:21] Tanaka
He's unmistakably the number-one ace
of our prefecture: Ushijima Wakatoshi.
SIGN Overwhelming power and height!! Super high-school ace!!
SIGN Third-year Ushijima Wakatoshi
SIGN His goal: To conquer nationals, of course!
[03:27] Sawa
Hmm. He definitely has "ace"
written all over him.
[03:33] Asahi
Hey, why are you looking at me?
[03:36] Suga
Kageyama, you were trying to get
into a place with guys like this?
[03:39] Tanaka
And you were going to yell
at the super high-school ace,
[03:43] ---
"Move faster, clumsy oaf!" and stuff, right?
[03:46] Kage
I wouldn't say that.
SIGN Monthly Volleyball
[03:48] Hinata
If we don't defeat him,
we can't play against Nekoma.
[03:52] Kei
Hey, hey.
[03:53] Kei
Shiratorizawa isn't the
only formidable opponent.
[03:56] Suga
Would the others be last year's best four?
[03:59] Kei
Yes, but there are other
formidable opponents this year.
SIGN Wakutani Minami
[04:06] Kei
There's Wakutani Minami, which has
superior defense and coordination.
SIGN Date Tech
[04:11] Kei
Date Tech is also known as
the Iron Wall, which says it all.
[04:14] Kei
That team has the highest
blocking rate in the country.
[04:18] Kei
If I recall,
[04:20] ---
we lost to Date Tech 2-0 in the
prefectural tournament this past March.
[04:25] Kage
The match in March...
an iron wall of blockers...
[04:29] (Flashback) Suga
Every single spike by Asahi got
blocked in this one match.
[04:35] Kage
Right before Azumane-san came back...
[04:37] Kage
Was Sugawara-san talking about
the match against Date Tech?
[04:37] Kei (Overlap)
I hear there's a second-year named
Aone who is particularly dangerous.
[04:40] Kei
Date Tech is as strong as
the other best four teams,
[04:44] Kei
but they lost their third-round match against
the eventual champions, Shiratorizawa,
[04:48] ---
and only made the best sixteen.
[04:50] Kei
That's why they weren't seeded this year.
[04:53] Kei
In other words, depending on the match-ups,
[04:56] ---
we might or might not play
against them in the first round.
[05:00] Kei
And the next one... Oh, yeah.
[05:02] ---
I heard we recently had a
practice match against them.
[05:06] Kei
The team's top attacker is their setter,
and of course he's also a supreme setter.
[05:12] Kei
Their team's ranks include perhaps the best
all-around player in the prefecture.
SIGN Aoba Johsai
[05:17] ---
That would Oikawa Toru at Aoba Johsai.
[05:21] Hinata
The Great King!
[05:23] Kei
They were in last year's best four.
[05:27] Kei
Last, but not least...
SIGN Shiratorizawa
[05:30] Kei
The defending champions, Shiratorizawa,
and their super-ace Ushijima Wakatoshi.
[05:35] Kei
That about sums it up.
[05:37] Kei
I'll save the details for later.
[05:40] Both
Ukai-san, even though you're sloppy...
[05:44] Kei
You guys are thinking something
disrespectful about me, aren't you?
[05:48] Kei
Anyway, those are the top four
contenders this year.
[05:52] Kei
However, if look up instead of straight ahead,
we could lose our footing.
[05:57] Kei
There's no team that enters
a tournament to lose.
[06:01] Kei
They all enter to win.
[06:04] Kei
While we frantically train,
[06:06] Kei
others will also be frantically training.
[06:10] Kei
Weak or strong, they're all aiming to win.
[06:15] Kei
Don't forget that.
[06:16] Kei
And...
[06:18] Kei
don't let them call us
"flightless crows" ever again.
[06:21] Team
Yeah.
[06:23] Takeda
I'm glad you're all still here.
[06:25] ---
Sorry I'm late.
[06:27] Takeda
The meeting went long. However...
[06:30] Takeda
Here it is. The match-ups for
the Inter-High preliminaries.
SIGN Tokonami (4) Karasuno (5) Date Tech (6) Ouka (7)
[06:35] Nishi
If we win the first round,
[06:37] Nishi
we might play
[06:39] Nishi
against Date Tech, assuming they also win.
[06:42] Tsuki
But that's not all...
SIGN Aoba Johsai (1)
Senkawa Kita (2)
Ohmisaki (3)
Tokonami (4)
Karasuno (5)
Date Tech (6)
Ouka (7)
[06:44] Tsuki
The one seeded in our block is Aoba Johsai.
SIGN Day One Day Two
[06:49] Tanaka
For real?
[06:51] Hin/Kage
Date Tech and Seijoh...
[06:53] Kei
Hey.
[06:55] ---
Don't forget what I just said.
[06:57] Kei
If all you do is look up...
[06:59] Sawa
We know.
SIGN Tokonami
Karasuno
[07:06] (Flashback) Ikejiri
Which high school are
you going to, Sawamura?
[07:08] (Flashback) Sawa
Karasuno.
[07:09] (Flashback) Ike
Huh? Where?
[07:11] (Flashback) Sawa
You know, the school that was
in the spring tournament.
[07:13] (Flashback) Ike
Oh.
[07:14] (Flashback) Sawa
And you, Ikejiri?
[07:16] (Flashback) Ike
I'm going to Tokonami.
[07:18] (Flashback) Ike
Guess we're parting ways.
[07:19] (Flashback) Sawa
Guess so.
[07:20] (Flashback) Ike
Which means,
[07:22] (Flashback) Ike
if I continue playing
volleyball in high school...
[07:25] (Flashback) Sawa
You should continue.
[07:26] (Flashback) Ike
Maybe we'll play against each other.
[07:29] (Flashback) Ike
And if we do, I'll smash you to pieces.
SIGN Tokonami
Karasuno
[07:38] Sawa
I dare you.
[07:44] Chaya
Ikejiri, let's get going.
[07:46] Sawa
The first round match...
[07:49] Sawa
I promise we'll win it.
SIGN Class 3-4
[08:09] Michimiya
Sawamura.
[08:12] Sawa
What, Michimiya?
[08:14] Michimiya
I got the pep rally schedule
for the sports clubs.
[08:16] Michimiya
The volleyball club is up fifth.
[08:18] Sawa
Thank you.
[08:19] Michimiya
Do you have a speech ready, Captain?
[08:21] Sawa
Nope, I've got nothing.
[08:23] Sawa
The Inter-High preliminaries
are just around the corner.
[08:25] Michi
Yeah, you boys are really fired up lately.
[08:29] Michi
What was that team... the one you used
to do practice matches with...
[08:32] Student
Excuse me.
[08:33] Sawa
Nekoma?
[08:34] Michi
Right, right. You played
against them again, right?
[08:37] Sawa
How are the girls doing?
[08:38] Sawa
I've been out of touch because
we have separate gyms.
[08:41] Michi
We've been... well... the same.
[08:44] Michi
It's still hard to get anyone
to show up to morning practice.
[08:48] Michi
And I'm not good at being stern.
[08:51] Michi
We'll probably lose in
the first round again, anyway.
[08:55] Michi
Crap.
[08:57] Sawa
Michimiya, didn't you say,
"We'll definitely win next time"?
[09:02] Sawa
No matter how formidable and
unbeatable your opponent is,
[09:07] Sawa
you'll never win if you don't
believe you can.
[09:11] Sawa
Whoops, I didn't mean to preach.
Well, you see...
[09:18] Michi
I remember when you scolded me in
junior high. You said the same thing.
[09:24] Michi
It was right after we got crushed
in a practice match before the tournament.
[09:27] Michi
I figured we were destined
for failure in the real tournament.
[09:31] (Flashback) Sawa
Even if we're not confident that we'll win,
[09:33] (Flashback) Sawa
even if others tell us
we don't stand a chance, we...
[09:38] Michi
"We must never tell ourselves that."
[09:42] Michi
End quote.
[09:44] Michi
I'm sorry! I have a bad habit of
losing confidence before a tournament.
[09:50] Sawa
I hope I'm not being presumptuous,
[09:53] Sawa
but since you and I are both captains,
[09:56] Sawa
I'll pretend I didn't hear any of that.
[10:01] Michi
You're too easy on me.
[10:05] Michi
All right, I'm good.
[10:09] Michi
I'm good now. Thanks.
[10:20] (Flashback) Oikawa
Because I...
[10:23] (Flashback) Oikawa
want to pulverize my dear underclassman,
setter-on-setter, in an official match.
[10:30] Studenta
What's his problem?

Scary.

[11:12] Asahi
that I'm Karasuno's ace!

[11:19] Hinata
Sugawara-san.
[11:20] Suga
Perfect timing. There's something
I wanted to give you.
[11:24] Suga
I'll give it to the other first-years later.
[11:27] Suga
My signals.
[11:29] Suga
I'm not as accurate as Kageyama,
[11:34] Suga
so I'll give signals to say,
"This is what I'm doing next."
[11:38] Hinata
Oh.
[11:40] Suga
Though you might not like
memorizing things...
[11:43] Hinata
I don't mind. Signals are cool.
I'll memorize them.
[11:47] Suga
We have to use them in practice,
or they'll be useless in matches.
[11:52] Suga
I'd be grateful if you could
practice them with me.
[11:54] Hinata
Sure! I'll help you out as much as you need!
[11:57] Hinata
I'll learn to spike any toss.
[12:11] Kei
A back row attack where
all three up front were decoys...
[12:13] Woman

The tournament's coming up, right?
[12:32] Enno
Yeah.
[12:33] Tanaka
Tournaments fire you up, don't they?
It's like getting ready for battle.
[12:36] Enno
Yeah... sort of.
[12:38] Tanaka
And then maybe, your cute
girlfriend comes to watch, and...
[12:42] Tanaka
"Tomorrow's the tournament at last."
[12:44] Tanaka
"Yeah, that's right."
[12:46] Tanaka
"You were training so long for this."
[12:49] Tanaka
"Yeah. I know it's been hard for you, too."
[12:51] Tanaka
"No, I don't mind."
[12:53] ---
"I love watching you play, Ryu-kun."
[12:57] Tanaka
"Honey..."
[12:59] Tanaka
"I thought long and hard about what
I could do for you, so I made you this!"
[13:04] Tanaka
"A good luck charm..."
[13:06] Tanaka
"Ryu-kun. Do your best tomorrow."
[13:09] Tanaka
If she said stuff like that to me...
[13:12] Tanaka
I was thinking I'd get even more fired up.
[13:16] Enno
Keep thinking that, and I'll
take your place as a regular.
[13:26] Enno
Nice kill.
[13:26] Kage
Nice, Azumane-san.
[13:28] Kei
Azumane.
[13:29] Asahi
Yes, sir!
[13:30] Kei
Are you good at back row attacks?
[13:33] Kei
Hey! I need you guys over here!
[13:38] Kei
That's the idea...
[13:40] Kage
We have to find the right
height for spiking.
[13:42] Hinata
It looks hard.
[13:44] Asahi
Let's do it.
[13:46] Asahi
Coach us.
[13:48] Kei
Hinata, you jump in as usual.
[13:51] Hinata
Yes.
[13:54] Sawa
Good job.
[13:55] Team
Good job.
[13:59] Takeda
Ukai-kun, you must be exhausted.
[14:02] Takeda
I appreciate you coming
daily at start time, but
[14:06] Takeda
I hope it's not affecting your job.
[14:08] Kei
Yeah, I've been working at the
store exclusively 'til now,
[14:11] Kei
but now I'm working on the farm as well,
[14:15] Kei
so I've been working the
evening shift at the store.
[14:19] Kei
It's our family business,
so I can't complain.
[14:23] Takeda
Thank you very much.
[14:25] Takeda
I'll bring you sake or something
the next time I visit.
[14:26] Kei
Seriously?
[14:28] Takeda
I didn't realize there were
so many attack patterns.
[14:32] Takeda
Are we using all of these?
[14:34] Kei
It depends.
[14:36] Kei
I need those guys to focus on the match.
[14:37] Suga (Background)
Hinata, A next.
[14:39] Hinata (Background)
Yes.
[14:40] Kei
I can't overwhelm them before the match.
[14:48] Suga (Background)
Nice, Hinata. Awesome, awesome.
[14:49] Kei
Hinata and Sugawara's
quicks are taking shape.
[14:50] Hinata (Background)
Thanks!
[14:52] Hinata
That toss was really good.
[14:56] Tanaka
Nice.
[14:57] Kage
Azumane-san, how was that toss?
Was it too high?! Too low?!
[15:01] Kage
How was it?!
[15:03] Asahi
Oh, um... yeah, it was fine.
[15:05] Kage
If you have any concerns, let me know,
no matter how small it is!
[15:08] Kage
I'll fix it.
[15:09] Asahi
I see... then... maybe a little higher?
[15:14] Asahi
And a little further away from the net.
[15:17] Kage
Understood.
[15:18] Kage
Ten more spikes, please.
[15:20] Asahi
What?
[15:20] Kage (Background)
Is that not enough? Then twenty spikes.
[15:21] Tsuki
There's no point in struggling this
much now right before the match.
[15:23] Asahi
No, that's not what I meant...
[15:25] Suga
Remember the timing
when you start running.
[15:28] Hinata
Right.
[15:30] Kage
Did you mean you want to
practice other patterns?
[15:32] Sawa
Hey, stragglers. Let's wrap it up.
[15:34] All
Right.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I knew you looked familiar.
[16:28] Yama
Um...
[16:30] Yama
Will you teach me how
to do a jump float serve?
[16:36] Shimada
Oh, yeah. I used it in that match.
[16:41] Shima
But the Inter-High preliminaries
start soon, right?
[16:45] Shima
It'll be hard to learn it in such short time.
[16:48] Yama
Probably.
[16:50] Yama
I probably won't be able to
play this time around, anyway.
[16:53] Yama
There's no way a first-year like
me can replace a third-year.

Wait.
[19:43] Sawa
She's...
[19:45] ---
...not done.
[19:51] Kiyoko
Do...

Shimizu!
[20:20] ---
No one ever did
anything like this for us before!
[20:21] Hinata
Even the captain?
[20:23] Tsuki
Those guys... are completely speechless.
[20:26] Yama
They usually never shut up.
[20:29] Tsuki
What the hell? You're all out of control.
[20:32] Sawa
We're going to win the first round for sure!
[20:35] All
Yeah.
[20:37] Tanaka
We have the strength of a hundred men!
[20:52] Hinata
First one here! First one here!
[21:02] Hinata
You bastard! Wait up, Kageyama!
[21:09] Kage
That makes... 31 wins and...
30 losses for me.
[21:16] Kage
And one draw.
[21:19] Hinata
That's not right.
[21:20] Kage
It is right. I won.
[21:23] Hinata
I've won 30 times,
and that was my 32nd loss.
[21:29] Hinata
Around this time last year,
you defeated my team.
[21:38] Hinata
We got crushed.

[21:45] (Flashback) Hinata
If you're the king that rules the court...
[21:53] Hinata
"I'll have to defeat you, and
I'll be the last one standing."
[22:00] Hinata
I promise I'll defeat you.
[22:03] Hinata
Even if takes me ten years,
or twenty years, I will.
[22:09] Kage
You plan on playing on the
same level as me, then.
[22:16] Hinata
Yeah, that's right.
[22:17] Kage
Even if I'm the best in Japan,
or the whole world?
[22:21] Hinata
The whole world?
[22:25] Hinata
O-Of course.
[22:29] Kage
And don't call me "King."
[22:30] Hinata
Ouch.
[22:32] Hinata
Ouch...
[22:34] Kage
Let's go. Today we take our
first step toward that goal.
[22:39] Hinata
Yeah.
