SIGN    Keep Standing Back Up [00:34] Ann     That was a rather difficult     position for a quick... [00:37] Ann     but Sarukawa Tech manages     to receive the ball. [00:40] Ann     The Tokyo reps, Nekoma High, [00:42] Ann     and the Ishikawa reps, Sarukawa Tech. [00:45] Ann     Both teams are known for     their unbreakable defense. [00:50] Ann     Which team's defense will see them through... [00:59] Ann     to the third round?! [01:14] ---     Haikyu!! 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      Cocoa [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 [06:12] ---     that Kenma actually wants to conquer. SIGN    Power SIGN    Stamina SIGN    Incomprehensible SIGN    Technique SIGN    Incomprehensible SIGN    Incomprehensible [06:14] Kuro     And even for that shrimp... [06:18] Kuro     I'm pretty sure he wants     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    Nezumi Grade School Nekoma Grade School [06:35] (Flashback) Kids     Thank you very much! [06:57] (Flashback) Kenma     Wanna go level up? [07:02] (Flashback) Kuro     Yeah. [07:15] Yaku     Now's not the time to be thinking     back fondly on your junior. [07:18] Kuro     Yakkun, have you ever heard of "feelings"? [07:21] Yaku     Four more days of the Spring Tournament... [07:24] Yaku     I'm going to stand out the most! [07:25] Kuro     Excuse me? That's gonna be me! [07:28] Kuro     I'm totally ready for some nice     announcer lady to interview me. [07:32] Yaku     Shut up, astaxanthin face! [07:34] Kuro     That's docosahexaenoic acid to you! [07:35] Guy     What are they arguing about? [07:36] Yaku     Just eat your damn fish and sleep! [07:36] Guy     Who knows? [07:38] Kuro     Better not get a stomachache     after eating meat. [07:39] Guy     Sorry about this... [07:40] Guys     It's fine. [07:41] Yaku     Huh?! What'd you say?! [07:42] Guy     Well, astaxanthin, so it     matches our team color. [07:46] Kuro     That's not what we're talking about here! 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. [09:33] Kenma     Fukunaga! [09:38] Both     Nice kill! SIGN    Connect     Nekoma High School Boys' Volleyball Club PTA [09:39] Crowd     Nice, nice, Fukunaga! Nice,     nice, Fukunaga! One more time! SIGN    Sarukawa Tech Nekoma [09:46] Shishi     Even if we have to sacrifice the first set, [09:49] Shishi     put as much pressure on     Nekoma's setter as you can. [09:52] Shishi     He doesn't seem like the     type to break mentally, [09:56] Shishi     but he's the type that starts     slipping up when he gets tired. [09:59] Shishi     We need to wear him     down physically, not mentally. [10:04] Shishi     First, we need to take out... [10:08] Shishi     Nekoma's brain. SIGN    Haikyu!! SIGN    Haikyu!! [10:36] Guy     Keep up, first-year! [10:39] Kenma     I hate running... [10:42] Kenma     But... [10:43] Kenma     I do sorta like the scenery while I run,     as well as what I think about. [10:54] Kenma     Now I'm powered up! [10:59] Kenma     That ivy over there is definitely     the kind you can climb! [11:05] Kenma     And on top of that roof...     is a treasure chest! [11:13] Tora     Guts! [11:16] Tora     Hey, you're slow! You're a lap behind! [11:20] ---     Show some more guts! [11:23] Kenma     I can't with him... [11:28] Kuro     Yaku! [11:31] Guy     Nice receive! [11:33] Tora     A perfect A-pass! Nekoma's totally awesome! [11:38] Kenma     I just want to sit down. [11:41] Fuku     An A-pass... [11:43] Fuku     Better than an F-pass. [12:36] Tora     Kozume, [12:38] Tora     just because you're close to Kuroo-san     doesn't mean I'm gonna take it easy on you. [12:43] Kenma     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. [13:08] Tora     Take this... [13:19] Tora     You little— [13:24] Yaku     Wow, look at those two go. [13:29] Kuro     You need to at least try     to work with others. [13:33] Kenma     He started it. [13:36] Kuro     Yeah... I enjoy the fact     that you're spunky enough [13:38] ---     to not back down from a fight, but... [13:41] Kuro     Look, I know you're not gonna     suddenly turn into an extrovert, [13:44] Kuro     but you're going to be spending a     lot of time with these classmates. [13:54] Coach     So... [13:55] ---     I know we're starting with     a brand-new team today, [13:57] ---     and things are still a bit awkward, [13:58] Coach     but let's do our best again tomorrow! [14:00] All     Thank you! [14:09] Guy     Hey, Yamamoto. You running again? [14:12] Tora     Yup. Good work today, sir! [14:21] Kuro     Yamamoto, no working too hard. [14:24] Tora     Right... [14:41] Tora     Guts! SIGN    Nekoma Maruguchi Biz. [14:44] Kuro     Thank you very much! [14:46] All     Thank you! [14:49] Kuro     Gather up all your things! [14:51] All     Right! [14:54] Yaku     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. [15:37] Yama     Right... [15:46] Kuro     Good work! [15:48] All     Thanks! [15:50] Yaku     Kuro, Sensei's calling for you. [16:01] (Flashback) Kuro     You need to at least try     to work with others. [16:09] Kenma     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! [17:44] Tora     I don't wanna hear about guts     from a gutless brat like you! [17:50] Kenma     All you ever talk about is guts! [17:53] Kenma     That's ambiguous as hell! [17:55] Kenma     It's not like it'll help you     stay alive with one hit point! [17:58] Tora     What the hell are you even talking about?! [18:00] Kenma     I'm telling you that it     won't help you beat a game! [18:03] Tora     What the hell do games     have to do with this?! [18:05] Kenma     You need strategy and to think     about what you need to win! [18:07] Yaku     Hey, that's enough, you two... [18:07] Tora     You need guts to win! [18:14] Fuku     Mr. Freeze... says to chill out. [18:20] Tora     Wha... [18:21] Tora     What?! Wait... What?! [18:24] Tora     Where do I even start?! [18:26] Tora     Mr. Free... Who the hell     is gonna clean this up?! [18:30] Fuku     My bad. [18:31] Yaku     Holy crap, Fukunaga! [18:32] Guy     Guess we need to get the mop. [18:35] Tora     Why are you laughing?! [18:37] Kenma     You're pretty funny, Fukunaga-kun. [18:40] Kuro     What the hell's going on? [18:44] Kenma     I haven't shouted like this in forever. [19:25] Tora     What's with this guy? This isn't... [19:29] Tora     Motivation or guts... He just... [19:47] Tora     Seriously hates losing. [19:51] Kuro     Kenma! [19:53] Kenma     Left. [19:54] Kuro     Kyanma! Move your ass! [19:57] ---     You could've gotten that one over! [19:59] Kenma     He figured me out. [20:00] Kenma     But taking even another     step is such a hassle. [20:04] Kenma     I wish my arms could stretch,     like, two meters. [20:07] Tora     But he's still gutless. SIGN    Boys' High School Volleyball Tournament SIGN    Preliminaries [20:23] Yaku     Nice kill, Yamamoto! [20:24] Tora     Yes! [20:26] Kenma     That was so loud.
