**[00:00] Hinata**
OP
**[00:10] Hin/Kage**
Yes.
**[00:11] Tanaka**
Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
**[00:13] Komaki**
So close. It's all good, Ikejiri.
**[00:15] Ikejiri**
Good effort.
**[00:19] Mizoguchi**
Karasuno isn't using it.
**[00:21] Mizoguchi**
Their usual quick without looking at the toss...
**[00:25] Irihata**
But, although it's still
rough around the edges,
**[00:29] Irihata**
they've learned to do normal quicks.
**[00:32] Irihata**
Although they're still lousy at it,
**[00:34] Irihata**
they can spot openings in the court.
**[00:38] Irihata**
They must've had good practice matches
in what little time they've had.
**[00:43] Irihata**
They're improving their existing moves,
adding new ones,
**[00:46] Irihata**
and creating the best attacks
for each match.
**[00:51] Irihata**
Before they were a dangerous team
that relied solely on brute force,
**[00:56] Irihata**
but now they have knowledge.
***SIGN*** Polish and Refine
**[01:01] Mizoguchi**
But they still make a lot
of common mistakes.
**[01:04] Irihata**
It's impossible to improve
receiving overnight.
***SIGN*** Tokonami Karasuno
**[01:08] Ikejiri**
Nice serve, Chaya.
**[01:10] Tamagawa**
One more.
**[01:13] Tanaka**
Noya-san.
**[01:23] Karasuno**
All right.
**[01:25] Kindaichi**
Looks like they're going
to win the first set in no time.
**[01:27] Iwaizumi**
That libero is a pesky one.
**[01:30] Iwaizumi**
Now that the dude with the goatee is playing,
**[01:33] Iwaizumi**
Kageyama has even more options.
**[01:38] Komaki**
Don't worry.
**[01:39] Sakurai**
Come on. Let's turn it around with this one.
**[01:41] All**
Yeah.
**[01:43] Sawa**
One more.
**[01:46] Sawa**
Hinata, give us a nice serve.
**[01:48] Hinata**
Right!
**[01:50] Tanaka**
Let's score with this one.
**[01:51] Hinata**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Episode 16: Winners and Losers
**[03:29] Ikejiri**
*In our last junior high tournament,*
**[03:31] Ikejiri**
* we made it through the*
* first match by sheer luck.*
***SIGN*** Izumidate Junior High Furusan Kita Junior High Amado Junior High Taihaku Junior High
**[03:34] Ikejiri**
* But the second match was against*
* a powerhouse, and we stood no chance.*
**[03:39] Ikejiri**
* When we were about to totally*
* give up, you said something...*
**[03:46] (Flashback) Sawa**
They're in junior high, too, just like us.
**[03:48] (Flashback) ---**
They're not unbeatable.
**[03:54] (Flashback) Sawa**
We'll never win if we don't believe we can.
**[03:56] (Flashback) Ikejiri**
You never get discouraged, Sawamura.
**[03:59] (Flashback) Sawa**
Of course I'm not discouraged.
**[04:01] (Flashback) ---**
This is our last tournament.
**[04:03] (Flashback) Ikejiri**
Our opponents are junior high students, too.
**[04:05] (Flashback) ---**
That's right.
**[04:07] (Flashback) Member**
We won our first match,
for the first time ever.
**[04:10] (Flashback) Member2**
All right. We can win the second match
for the first time ever, too.
**[04:12] (Flashback) All**
Yeah.
**[04:16] (Flashback) Team**
All right.
**[04:17] Ikejiri**
However...
***SIGN*** Izumidate Taihaku
**[04:19] Ikejiri**
...we couldn't instantly become a strong team.
**[04:29] (Flashback) Ikejiri**
Sorry, Sawamura.
**[04:33] (Flashback) Sawa**
Sorry.
**[04:34] (Flashback) Sawa**
Let's turn it around with this one.
***SIGN*** Izumidate Taihaku
**[04:44] Ikejiri**
*We weren't surprised that we lost.*
**[04:47] Ikejiri**
*We weren't all that angry about it, either.*
**[04:51] Ikejiri**
*In fact, we felt relieved*
**[04:54] ---**
* because we wouldn't*
* have tiring practices anymore.*
**[05:01] Ikejiri**
*But...*
**[05:02] ---**
* ...you were the only one*
* who seemed upset.*
**[05:05] Ikejiri**
*Seeing you like that, I was jealous.*
**[05:08] ---**
*I don't know why.*
***SIGN*** Do your best! Tokonami Spirit
**[05:20] All**
All right.
**[05:23] Tamagawa**
Are you okay, Ikejiri?
**[05:25] Sawa**
Hinata, nice serve.
**[05:27] Komaki**
Tamagawa.
**[05:28] Haga**
Nice receive, Tamagawa-senpai.
**[05:31] Ikejiri**
Bring it to the left.
**[05:33] Haga**
Ikejiri-senpai.
***SIGN*** Tokonami Karasuno
**[05:39] All**
All right.
**[05:46] Chaya**
The rumors about Karasuno aren't true.
**[05:49] ---**
Fallen champions? Yeah, right.
**[05:51] Tamagawa**
They're on a whole other level.
**[06:00] (Flashback) Sawa**
Rankings have nothing to do with it!
**[06:06] Ikejiri**
"We'll never win if we don't believe we can."
**[06:14] Ikejiri**
Oh, um...
**[06:16] ---**
I was just quoting a friend.
**[06:19] Komaki**
It's starting.
**[06:20] Both**
Yeah.
**[06:23] Ikejiri**
*I don't have the charisma to convince them.*
**[06:26] Ikejiri**
*That was stupid.*
**[06:27] Ikejiri**
*That was so lame...*
**[06:33] Sawa**
Nice serve, Kageyama.
**[06:39] Kindaichi**
A service ace...
**[06:40] Iwaizumi**
Karasuno has stepped up their game
even more after winning the first set.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Tokonami
**[06:58] Ikejiri**
*Damn it.*
**[07:03] Komaki**
Ikejiri.
**[07:05] Ikejiri**
*It's high.*
**[07:21] Ikejiri**
All right.
**[07:22] All**
All right.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Tokonami
**[07:25] Chaya**
Maybe we shouldn't be
so happy about one lousy point.
**[07:27] Komaki**
It's fine.
**[07:28] Komaki**
One point can be the
beginning of a scoring streak.
**[07:32] Ikejiri**
Everyone...
**[07:34] Tamagawa**
"We'll never win if we don't
believe we can," right?
**[07:36] Chaya**
We'll hang in there.
**[07:38] Komaki**
We might be weak, but we're stubborn!
**[07:41] Komaki**
Let's go win this!
**[07:43] Ikejiri**
Yeah.
**[07:47] Player1**
Aya.
**[07:49] Player2**
Yui, get it.
**[07:51] Michimiya**
Right!
**[07:54] Player3**
Out.
**[07:57] Player3**
Good call.
***SIGN*** Shirato Girls' Karasuno
**[08:10] (Flashback) Sawa**
Even if we're not confident that we'll win,
**[08:12] (Flashback) Sawa**
even if others tell us we
don't stand a chance, we...
**[08:22] Michi**
*"We must never tell ourselves that."*
**[08:26] Player**
Nice serve.
**[08:28] Player1**
Aya.
**[08:32] All**
Score!
**[08:34] Michimiya**
Don't worry about it. That was a close one.
**[08:36] Aya**
You could've saved that one, Yui.
**[08:39] Michimiya**
Huh?
**[08:40] Aya**
I'm sorry. I've lost so many of them.
**[08:46] Michimiya**
Save the apologies for later.
**[08:50] Michimiya**
Get up. It's not over yet.
**[08:56] Michimiya**
All right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Tokonami
**[09:01] Ikejiri**
*It's Karasuno's match point.*
**[09:04] Ikejiri**
*It'll probably be a cinch for them.*
**[09:10] Ikejiri**
*But for us...*
**[09:11] Komaki**
*One more point...*
**[09:13] Haga**
*It's not over.*
**[09:14] Sakurai**
*It's not over.*
**[09:16] All**
*We're ready, Karasuno.*
**[09:22] Komaki**
Sakurai.
**[09:24] Haga**
Ikejiri-senpai.
**[09:30] Ikejiri**
*We're not beaten yet.*
**[09:35] Michimiya**
*It's not over yet.*
**[09:38] Player**
Left.
**[09:58] All**
All right.
**[10:00] Nishi**
Damn it!
**[10:03] Nishi**
I'll save the next one for sure!
**[10:06] Sawa**
One more! Let's turn it around.
**[10:08] Sawa**
Yeah!
**[10:12] Ikejiri**
*They're serious.*
**[10:16] Ikejiri**
*They're taking us seriously.*
**[10:19] Ikejiri**
* Everyone in the gym thought*
* we'd be pushovers, but not anymore.*
**[10:24] Ikejiri**
*Because these guys...*
**[10:29] Ikejiri**
*...are serious.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno
**[10:52] Kage**
Hey. Quit spacing out, airhead.
**[10:54] Kage**
Let's go—
**[10:54] Hinata**
We won.
**[10:56] Kage**
Yeah.
**[10:58] Hinata**
Do we play... another match?
**[11:03] Kage**
Yeah, because we won.
**[11:06] Hinata**
We won.
**[11:09] Hinata**
We won.
**[11:11] Hinata**
We won!
**[11:14] Hinata**
We can play another match.
**[11:18] Hinata**
We can stand on the court again.
**[11:23] Takeda**
He's like a little animal,
hungry for victory...
**[11:26] Takeda**
...and now he's tasted it
for the first time.
**[11:28] Kei**
Yeah.
**[11:30] Kindaichi**
Do they realize they have
another match this afternoon?
**[11:35] Iwaizumi**
Huh?
**[11:36] Kindaichi**
I mean, it was impossible for the
other team to make a comeback.
**[11:40] Kindaichi**
They should've conserved their energy—
**[11:42] Oikawa**
I'm glad they didn't.
**[11:43] Oikawa**
We got to see them be serious.
**[11:45] Oikawa**
Although we didn't get
to see the freak quick.
**[11:49] Hanamaki**
The match on that court's done, too.
Date Tech crushed their opponents.
**[11:53] Kindaichi**
So it'll be Karasuno versus Date Tech.
Who will win?
**[11:58] ---**
Let's go.
**[11:59] Iwaizumi**
It won't matter if we don't win.
***SIGN*** Prefectural High School Sports Tournament Girls' Volleyball
**[12:11] Michimiya**
Stop crying already.
**[12:14] Aya**
They aimed serves at me.
**[12:17] Aya**
They scored so many points off of me.
**[12:24] Michimiya**
And we kept the ball in play.
That's volleyball.
**[12:26] Michimiya**
They were better at it than us.
That's why we lost.
**[12:29] Michimiya**
It is not any single player's fault.
**[12:33] Player**
Captain, Sensei wants to have a word.
**[12:35] Michimiya**
Okay. I'll be back, okay?
**[12:43] Player**
Michimiya-senpai is amazing.
**[12:47] Player**
She's practiced the hardest of all.
**[12:48] Player**
You'd think she'd be the most upset.
**[12:51] Player**
No...
**[12:53] Player**
She's trying to stay composed,
since she's our captain.
**[12:58] Player**
She's waiting until she's out of sight.
**[13:23] Ikejiri**
* I did all I could.*
* I never skipped practice.*
**[13:29] Ikejiri**
* The day I saw that*
* tournament on TV, I said,*
**[13:32] Ikejiri**
* half-jokingly,*
* "I'm Japan's future champion."*
**[13:38] Ikejiri**
* But as soon as we started conditioning,*
* I began to lose steam.*
**[13:45] Ikejiri**
*And now it's all over.*
**[13:47] Ikejiri**
*That was fast. It's still only June.*
**[13:51] Michimiya**
* I should've... I should've*
* trained a little harder.*
**[13:56] Ikejiri**
* Running, conditioning... I should*
* have done it all a little harder.*
**[14:01] Michimiya**
*If I were a better captain...*
**[14:04] Ikejiri**
*If only I could've been a fiercer receiver.*
**[14:08] Michimiya**
*If only I had gone one step further.*
**[14:12] Ikejiri**
*Maybe then, I could've played more volleyball.*
**[14:24] Ikejiri**
Sawamura!
**[14:28] Sawa**
Ikejiri.
**[14:39] Ikejiri**
Win! Then win some more!
**[14:42] Ikejiri**
Win for us, too.
**[14:54] Sawa**
Yeah. You got it.
**[15:01] Ikejiri**
* There must be thousands*
* of guys in this country...*
**[15:05] Ikejiri**
*...whose last season gets cut short.*
**[15:08] Ikejiri**
* Winning all the preliminaries*
* and going on to nationals...*
**[15:15] Ikejiri**
*If all this were a work of fiction...*
**[15:17] Ikejiri**
* The guys who go to nationals*
* would be the protagonists,*
**[15:20] Ikejiri**
*and the rest of us would just be extras.*
**[15:24] Ikejiri**
*But, regardless...*
**[15:59] Ikejiri**
*We got to play...*
**[16:04] Michimiya**
*We got to play...*
**[16:08] Both**
*...volleyball.*
**[16:53] Guy**
Karasuno was amazing.
**[16:55] Guy2**
Especially that little #10! He was unreal.
**[16:57] Guy**
I know, right?
**[16:59] Guy2**
His quicks were right on the money.
**[17:04] Hinata**
Wh-What?
**[17:06] Hinata**
I'm happy. What's wrong with that?
**[17:08] Hinata**
No one's ever said stuff
like that about me before.
**[17:13] Kage**
I didn't say anything.
**[17:15] Kage**
I'm glad you're getting all the attention.
**[17:19] Kage**
The more our opponents
are wary of you,
**[17:23] Kage**
the more they'll bring out
the best in you.
**[17:26] Hinata**
Yeah, I don't really
understand what you mean,
**[17:29] Hinata**
but you're scary when you're smiling.
**[17:34] Hinata**
Ouch, ouch...
**[17:34] Kei**
Yeah, he's right.
**[17:36] Kei**
"That little #10" gets a big reaction.
**[17:41] Kei**
The bigger, the better.
**[17:43] Kei**
The more Hinata shines,
the more he blinds the defense.
**[17:48] Hinata**
Oh.
**[17:49] Kei**
So, the starting lineup for the next match
will be the same as the first.
**[18:00] Sawa**
Our next match is at 1:30 PM.
**[18:02] ---**
Keep yourselves warm.
**[18:03] Kei**
Have a light lunch.
**[18:06] Kei**
Don't fill yourselves up.
**[18:07] All**
Right!
**[18:10] Hinata**
Next up is no-eyebrows guy's
Iron Wall school.
**[18:14] Kage**
It's Date Tech.
**[18:15] Hinata**
I know that.
**[18:18] Kage**
Date Tech defeated us in March.
**[18:22] Kage**
That match made Azumane-san want to quit.
**[18:26] Hinata**
Asahi-san...
**[18:28] (Flashback) Suga**
Every single spike by Asahi got
blocked in this one match...
**[18:34] Hinata**
They blocked all of Asahi-san's spikes.
**[18:38] Suga**
Hinata, Kageyama.
**[18:41] Suga**
Got a minute?
**[18:46] Sawa**
Asahi.
**[18:49] Sawa**
It's time to go.
**[18:53] Suga**
I'm counting on you.
**[18:58] Suga**
Date Tech is a powerful opponent.
**[19:00] Suga**
Their blocking devastated us three months ago.
**[19:05] Suga**
But this time, we have the best decoy ever.
**[19:11] Suga**
You opened the way for Hinata.
**[19:15] ---**
So for Asahi...
**[19:17] Suga**
Please open the way for the ace!
**[19:28] Hinata**
All right. We'll win the second match, too!
**[19:40] Cheer**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
**[19:43] Cheer**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
**[19:50] Moniwa**
Date Tech... fight!
**[19:54] All**
Yeah.
**[19:55] Moniwa**
Start running!
**[19:59] Tanaka**
You're getting intimidated again.
**[20:01] Guy**
Date Tech's scary. I'm glad
I'm not playing against them.
**[20:05] Guy1**
I felt so sorry for the spiker
up against Date Tech in the last match.
**[20:11] Guy**
He was unable to do anything, literally.
**[20:16] Ref**
Captains.
**[20:18] Sawa/Moniwa**
All the best.
**[20:19] Cheer**
Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
***SIGN*** Iron Wall of Date
**[20:22] Takeda**
How do I put this...
**[20:23] Takeda**
It's like Date Tech has taken over the court.
**[20:27] Sawa**
We're receiving first,
from this side of the court.
**[20:30] Kei**
Got it.
**[20:31] Sawa**
Time for warm ups! Bumps first!
**[20:33] Team**
Yeah.
**[20:34] Kei**
Here goes. Keep it in play.
**[20:36] Team**
Right!
**[20:37] Kei**
* It's only been three months*
* since Date Tech defeated us.*
**[20:42] Kei**
* Though our team has made*
* definite progress,*
**[20:45] Kei**
* our second and third-years might*
* still be feeling the sting of defeat.*
**[20:51] Kei**
* We have to fix that somehow.*
* We can't be intimidated by Date Tech.*
**[20:56] Nishi**
Rolling...
**[20:59] Nishi**
...Thunder...
**[21:01] Nishi**
Again!
**[21:12] Nishi**
That was perfect.
**[21:14] Tanaka**
Noya-san, nice receive.
**[21:16] ---**
Perfection itself! Except for the name.
**[21:18] Nishi**
The name is perfect, too!
**[21:20] Hinata**
Teach me! Teach me the Again version, too!
**[21:23] Kage**
How's that different from the regular one?
**[21:25] Sawa**
What was that?
**[21:26] Sawa**
Just bump normally.
**[21:27] Suga**
You're showing off again.
**[21:28] Asahi**
Hey, Nishinoya, you're gonna
make Daichi mad again.
**[21:32] Nishi**
All right. There's nothing to worry about.
**[21:36] Nishi**
All of you, keep your eyes forward.
**[21:39] Nishi**
Because you have me guarding your backs.
**[21:45] Kage/Hin/Tan**
A-Awesome!
**[21:51] Futakuchi**
Awesome.
**[21:55] Takeda**
Wow. He restored the team's confidence.
**[21:59] Kei**
Yeah.
**[22:01] Kei**
*He's a little guy, but incredibly charismatic.*
**[22:05] Kei**
*The libero is not just the guardian.*
**[22:08] Kei**
*He also encourages the team from behind.*
**[22:12] Kei**
He's a truly outstanding libero.

That no-eyebrows guy blocked
you, didn't he, Asahi-san?
**[24:02] Asahi**
Y-Yeah.
**[24:03] Hinata**
He's so intimidating.
**[24:05] Kage**
But you look older than him. Don't worry.

Huh?

That's enough already.
