SIGN    Episode 17: Cats vs. Monkeys
[02:34] Yaku
    Our first nationals...
[02:37] Yaku
    I wish we could've actually traveled somewhere
     for it. Like, actually got on the Shinkansen.
[02:43] Kuro
    Next year... No, wait, this year.
[02:45] ---
    Where's the Inter-High this year?
[02:48] Kuro
    If it's far away, let's go cheer them on.
[02:50] Yaku
    You're already assuming they'll get in.
[02:51] Kuro
    Let's believe in our juniors.
[02:54] Guy
    Hey, junior.
[02:58] Guy
    Right?
[02:59] Guy
    Yeah, no way.
[03:00] Yaku
    Kenma hates being the center of attention,
[03:02] ---
    and yet we managed
    to drag him to nationals.
[03:05] Guy
    It's going on sale next month, right?
[03:05] Kuro
    He definitely doesn't look like an
    athlete playing in nationals.
[03:07] Guy
    Yup. And the deck goes on
    sale the week after, right?
[03:10] Guy
    Man, I'm broke.
[03:11] Guy
    A zashiki-warashi?
[03:14] Kuro
    From the time he started playing volleyball,
    up until middle school,
[03:17] Kuro
    Kenma would always...
[03:21] Kuro
    come down with a fever on days practice
    was extra hard or right after our matches.
[03:27] Kuro
    I'd always feel kinda bad,
[03:30] ---
    considering I'm the one who
    dragged him into all of this.
SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi
[03:34] Kuro
    But...
[03:34] Kuro
    Now that we've made it to nationals,
[03:38] Kuro
    I thought he might finally
    feel it was worth all the trouble,
[03:43] Kuro
    or so I was hoping.
[03:46] Yaku
    I'm pretty sure Kenma couldn't
    care less about that.
[03:51] Kuro
    You really don't hold back, do you, Yaku?
SIGN    Delicious Milky

[03:54] Guy
    Well, think about Kenma's personality.
[03:57] Guy
    If he really hated it,
    he would've quit by now.
[04:00] Guy
    Right?
[04:01] Kuro
    Kenma! I told you,
    no video games before bed!
[04:04] Kuro
    You'll mess up your sleep cycle!
[04:07] Kenma
    Well, if I really want to quit, I will.
[04:11] Kenma
    But I guess I may have felt
    somewhat bad for Kuro.
[04:16] Kuro
    What?!
[04:17] Kenma
    Even I worry about others sometimes.
[04:22] Kuro
    It's actually sorta shocking
    to hear you say that.
SIGN    Vending Machine Corner
[04:25] Kenma
    I just said "somewhat."
[04:28] Kenma
    There's no way I could
    spend hours practicing
[04:30] ---
    just because I felt bad
    about someone else.
[04:34] Kenma
    Not to mention, I wouldn't keep
    playing volleyball if I hated it.
[04:38] Kenma
    I just keep playing,
[04:41] Kenma
    I don't have a definite
    reason to keep playing.
[04:43] Kenma
    but I also don't have a reason to quit.
[04:46] Kenma
    Not having either is pretty normal.
[04:52] Kuro
    Indeed.
[04:53] Guy
    That's some deep thinking.
[04:54] Yaku
    Don't make this sound difficult.
[04:57] Kenma
    I don't like sweating
    or being out of breath,
[05:02] Kenma
    but I don't mind leveling up.
[05:06] Kenma
    Night.
[05:07] Guy
    Yeah, night.
[05:11] Yaku
    He doesn't have much stamina,
    but he's awkwardly persistent at times.
[05:15] Yaku
    And he's able to keep up at practice.
[05:18] Yaku
    Though he knows exactly when to slack.
[05:21] Yaku
    This makes me think about that
    one time you mentioned before.
[05:24] ---
    The early-riser incident.
[05:26] Kuro
    Ah...
[05:28] Kuro
    Around 5 AM, the light in Kenma's
    room would always be on
[05:31] ---
    when he got in the habit of oversleeping.
[05:34] Kuro
    I thought he'd been up all night,
[05:36] ---
    but he tells me that he actually
     woke up early at 2 AM,
[05:38] Kuro
    all to play video games.
[05:40] Kuro
    His parents would throw away his games
    if he stayed up all night playing them,
[05:43] Kuro
    but he thought there wouldn't
    an issue if he just got up early.
[05:46] Kuro
    Of course, they found out,
    and he got in trouble anyway.
[05:49] Kuro
    I'm sure he could only pull that off
     because he likes them so much.
[05:52] Guy
    But ever since we started
    practicing with Karasuno,
[05:56] Guy
    he seems to be trying even harder.
[05:58] Yaku
    Yeah, I totally see that.
[05:59] Yaku
    He's always hanging out with
    the shrimp from Karasuno.
[06:02] Yaku
    Even though they're total opposites.
[06:05] Kuro
    Well, it's not often that
    he's able to make friends.
[06:08] Kuro
    And I think he's also
     the rare real-life obstacle

    that Kenma actually wants to conquer.

    to defeat Kenma, too.
[06:21] Yaku
    Though Kenma probably wouldn't be
    too bothered if he got defeated,
[06:24] ---
    so it might not be worth the trouble.
[06:26] Kuro
    Come on, now.
[06:27] Guy
    But you know...
[06:28] Guy
    "Leveling up" is definitely
    a Kenma thing to say.

SIGN    Sarukawa Tech Nekoma
[07:59] Ann
    Sarukawa thought they had an opening,
    but Nekoma manages to get the ball!
[08:01] Ann
    Solid masters of defense that they are,
[08:03] ---
    Nekoma's not going to let the ball
    drop in their court that easily.
[08:07] Kenma
    Fukunaga!
[08:11] Yama
    One touch!
[08:13] Ann
    Sarukawa Tech is still managing
     to keep the ball up!
[08:16] Guy
    Good job! Take your time attacking!
[08:17] Ann
    Apparently, Sarukawa Tech's coach, Shishio,
[08:19] ---
    was one of Nekoma High's
    Coach Nekomata's former students.
[08:24] Ann
    Correct. His team's tight defense may be due
    to everything he learned from his mentor.
[08:37] Guy
    Something doesn't feel right.
[08:40] Mika
    What do you mean?
[08:41] Guy
    It feels like Sarukawa Tech is
    deliberately avoiding scoring quickly.
[08:47] Mika
    Huh? Why, though?
[08:49] Mika
    From my perspective, their attacks
    seem pretty fast and violent.
[08:53] Guy
    Right. They have been scoring, and it's not
    like their attacks haven't been great.
[08:58] Guy
    Nekoma's just been able to
    defend because they're Nekoma.
[09:01] Guy
    Nekoma's defense is high-level,
[09:03] Guy
    and they're able to bump attacks
    even when they seem flawless.
[09:10] Guy
    And I'm not sure if that's why,
[09:12] Guy
    but it really seems like Sarukawa is trying
[09:15] ---
    to throw Nekoma off their
    rhythm rather than score.
[09:20] Mika
    But what's the point if they can't score?
[09:22] Guy
    Well, their intention is probably...
[09:28] Guy
    to make their setter run.

    He doesn't seem like the

    doesn't mean I'm gonna take it easy on you.

    What's that even mean?
[12:44] Kenma
    What difference does it
    make that I know Kuro?
[12:48] Kenma
    And this is just a regular passing drill.
[12:59] Tora
    He never looks enthusiastic,
    and his voice is soft,
[13:03] Tora
    and yet, he's actually decent,
    so it pisses me off.

    You little—

    Yeah... I enjoy the fact
    that you're spunky enough

[13:41] Kuro
    Look, I know you're not gonna
    suddenly turn into an extrovert,

    lot of time with these classmates.

    Hey, Kozume.
[14:56] Yaku
    You did a great job
    setting out there.
[14:57] Guy
    Yeah. They were consistent
    and super easy to hit,
[15:00] Guy
    despite being your first practice match.
[15:03] Yaku
    And you've got some balls doing a
    dump even though we were behind.
[15:07] Yaku
    Keep up the great work!
[15:15] Tora
    This was my super important
    practice match debut,
[15:18] Tora
    and I just kept hitting out
    of bounds and into the net.
[15:20] Tora
    And to top it all off...
[15:29] Tora
    I ran right into Kuroo-san.
[15:32] Kuro
    We're going home! Yamamoto!
[15:34] Kuro
    It was just a practice match.
    Don't worry about it.

    H-Hey... Yamamoto-kun.
[16:14] Kenma
    Maybe you could... relax
    your shoulders a bit.
[16:20] Tora
    What? Like you?
[16:23] Tora
    Like it's that easy to do.
[16:25] ---
    I'm trying to show off how
    hard I've been working,
[16:28] Tora
    so how am I supposed to relax?
[16:32] Tora
    Anyway, this just means that I lacked guts.
[16:39] Kenma
    Quit blaming something as
    random as guts.
[16:43] Kenma
    You should probably reflect on
    what the actual problem is.
[16:56] Tora
    I kept concentrating too much on the ball.
[16:59] Tora
    I let my opponent provoke me.
[17:01] Tora
    I kept going for all the difficult hits.
[17:04] Kenma
    I-If you realize that, why do you keep
    blaming it on guts?
[17:09] Kenma
    All that extra running and weight training
[17:13] Kenma
    has nothing to do with guts.
     It's self-satisfaction.
[17:21] Tora
    Then what about you, huh?!
[17:24] Tora
    There were plenty of balls
    you could've gone after!
[17:28] Kenma
    Yeah, but...
[17:30] Kenma
    I was tired...
[17:31] ---
    And even if I connected, it would've been
    a free ball for the other team.
[17:36] Tora
    Well, you never show any guts at practice,
[17:37] Guy
    Should we stop them?
[17:38] ---
    so how the hell are you gonna during a match?
[17:38] ---
    They're not even reflecting anymore.
    It's just turning into a fight.
[17:40] Tora
    You never go after the ball!
[17:41] Yaku
    Let them fight. Sometimes you need that.
[17:42] ---
    Your voice is too soft,
    and you never seem like you try!

    I don't wanna hear about guts
    from a gutless brat like you!

    All you ever talk about is guts!

    That's ambiguous as hell!

    It's not like it'll help you
    stay alive with one hit point!

    What the hell are you even talking about?!

    I'm telling you that it
    won't help you beat a game!

    What the hell do games
    have to do with this?!

    You need strategy and to think
    about what you need to win!

    Hey, that's enough, you two...

    You need guts to win!
