    That was pretty good, Hinata.

    You bastard!
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[00:09] Asahi
    The powerful iron wall
    defeated us three months ago.
[00:13] (Flashback) Hinata
    All the blockers vanish from sight...
[00:15] (Flashback) Hinata
    And the view of the other side
     of the net opens up.
[00:19] Asahi
    That's what I used to see, too,
[00:25] Asahi
    until the iron wall blocked my view.
[00:31] Asahi
    What does the other side
    of the iron wall look like?
[00:36] Nishi
    Rolling...
[00:40] Nishi
    ...Thunder...
[00:42] Nishi
    Again!
[00:46] Nishi
    All right. There's nothing to worry about.
[00:51] Nishi
    All of you, keep your eyes forward.
[00:54] Nishi
    Because you have me guarding your backs.
[00:58] Kage/Hin/Tan
    A-Awesome!

SIGN    Episode 17: The Iron Wall
[02:49] Background
    Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
[02:51] Oiwake
    All right, listen up.
[02:53] Oiwake
    I admit, Karasuno's quicks were amazing.
[02:56] Oiwake
    But they were amazing only
    because of that guy's height.
[03:00] Oiwake
    He jumps high, but the quicks
    themselves are nothing extraordinary.
[03:04] Oiwake
    Don't get mesmerized by him.
[03:06] Oiwake
    Shut him down completely,
    like you did their ace!
[03:10] Oiwake
    Show them the iron wall again.
[03:15] Team
    Right!
SIGN    Karasuno
[03:17] Kei
    Gauging from their first match,
[03:19] Kei
    they'll start off with a powerful serve.
[03:22] Kei
    The serve breaks your formation,
    then they block your returns.
[03:25] Kei
    Date Tech's strategy is to attack
     those who can't keep up.
[03:30] Kei
    So, for the first serve,
[03:31] Kei
    make sure your receive is solid.
[03:33] Team
    Yeah.
[03:35] Kei
    You know what to do. Right, Kageyama?
[03:37] Kage
    Yes.
[03:39] Kei
    All right.
[03:40] Kei
    Now, go tear down the iron wall!
[03:43] Team
    Yes, sir!
[03:45] Sawa
    Karasuno...
[03:47] Sawa
    Fight!
[03:48] Team
    Yeah.
[03:52] Mizoguchi
    Oh? I guess Karasuno's ace starts in the back.
[03:56] Irihata
    Yeah. They're starting with their
     best receiving formation.
[04:01] Irihata
    But Date Tech's formation is the
    same as in their first match.
[04:10] Kiyoko
    Do your best.
[04:14] Nishi
    Bring it on.
[04:15] Tanaka
    Let's do this.
[04:15] Moniwa
    Kamasaki, nice serve.
[04:16] Sasaya
    Nice serve.
[04:19] Nishi
    Daichi-san.
[04:21] Kage
    Nice receive.
[04:24] Oiwake
    His form is clean.
[04:25] ---
    I can't tell where he's going to toss.
[04:29] ---
    But...
[04:41] Tanaka
    All right. Nice eye, Hinata.
[04:47] ---
    I thought their blockers were one step behind.
[04:52] Takeda
    Is that what you call read blocking?
[04:54] Takeda
    Where they jump after they see the toss?
[04:56] Kei
    Yeah.
[04:58] Kei
    All of our opponents so far
[05:00] ---
    mostly used commit blocks. They jumped
     after predicting who may get the toss.
[05:04] Kei
    But Date Tech has perfected the read block.
[05:07] Kei
    They jump as soon as the toss goes up.
[05:10] Kei
    In other words...
[05:13] Kei
    They're not easy to trick with decoys.
[05:17] Kei
    That would leave their blocks
     one step behind, if not for their #7.
[05:21] Kei
    He quickly makes up the difference.
[05:23] Kei
    He's not only tall, but fast as well.
[05:25] Takeda
    H-He's scary.
[05:27] Mizoguchi
    Those read blocks
     are going to be tricky.
[05:30] Mizoguchi
    I wonder how Karasuno's
    going to deal with them.
[05:32] Irihata
    We'll see.
[05:33] ---
    They haven't played their trump card yet.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[05:40] Sawa
    Kageyama, nice serve.
[05:41] Hinata
    Nice serve. Let's score.
[05:48] Kage
    I hit it to the libero.
[05:50] Irihata
    His serve is as powerful as ever.
[05:53] Irihata
    He'll be scary when he
    learns how to control it.
[06:00] Guy1
    He saved it.
[06:00] Guy2
    Amazing.
[06:02] Nishi
    Ryu, sorry. Cover.
[06:03] Tanaka
    All right.
[06:04] Asahi
    Back!
[06:05] Oiwake
    A back attack?
[06:06] ---
    They didn't use that in the last match.
[06:09] Tanaka
    Asahi-san.
[06:17] Nishi
    Damn.
[06:19] Kei
    Don't worry about it.
     Don't worry! Switch it up.
[06:22] Nishi
    I'm sorry, Asahi-san!
    I'll save the next one.
[06:26] Asahi
    Yeah. I'm counting on you,
    but I'll score next time.
[06:29] Futakuchi
    Hey, what was that?
    He's supposed to get dejected.
[06:33] Moniwa
    Quit being mean-spirited, Futakuchi.
[06:35] Futakuchi
    Ouch.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[06:46] Tanaka
    Huh?
[06:48] Team
    All right.
[06:50] Moniwa
    Net violation...
[06:52] Moniwa
    Don't worry about it.
[06:54] Mizoguchi
    Date Tech touched the net.
[06:57] Mizoguchi
    That was a close call for Karasuno.
[07:00] Irihata
    But they sure are fast.
[07:02] Irihata
    Two blockers are immediately ready,
    no matter how fast the attack.
[07:06] Irihata
    This is going to be a tough one.
[07:10] Moniwa
    Nice receive.
[07:12] Moniwa
    Futakuchi.
[07:15] Asahi
    I'm open!
[07:16] Sawa
    Asahi.
[07:24] Takeda
    Was that out?
[07:25] Takeda
    Was that our point?
[07:27] Kei
    Nice, Azumane.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[07:34] Mizoguchi
    Karasuno is two points ahead,
[07:38] Mizoguchi
    but they're barely avoiding being shut down.
[07:41] Mizoguchi
    They're not scoring with ease.
[07:45] Irihata
    They're barely getting by the blockers.
    And if that blocking keeps up,
[07:48] ---
    Nice receive.
[07:49] Irihata
    they'll lose momentum quickly.
[07:52] Moniwa
    Futakuchi.
[07:54] Tanaka
    Nice one touch, Hinata.
[07:55] Futakuchi
    For real?
[07:57] Nishi
    Free ball.
[07:59] Oiwake
    When they think they're about to score,
[08:01] Oiwake
    we score instead.
[08:05] Oiwake
    That breaks their spirit,
    and boosts our morale.
[08:09] Oiwake
    It's the ultimate defense,
    the fastest offense.
[08:13] Oiwake
    That's what you call...
[08:18] Oiwake
    ...blocking.
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
[08:24] Obara
    Nice block.
[08:26] Moniwa
    Nice, Aone.
[08:29] Irihata
    A high, fast, and expansive wall...
[08:36] Kei
    Truly...
[08:39] Kei
    ...an iron wall.
[08:44] Hinata
    Damn it.
[08:46] Kage
    Don't worry about it. On to the next.
[08:48] Hinata
    Huh?
[08:49] Kage
    We'll definitely score with the next one.
[08:52] Hinata
    Definitely?
[08:54] ---
    Are we doing it?
[08:55] Hinata
    Are we gonna zoom? Are we?
[08:58] Kage
    It's about time.
[09:00] Kage
    Do your best jump, go as fast as you can,
[09:04] Kage
    and fly.
[09:05] Kage
    I'll get the ball...
[09:08] ---
    ...to you.
[09:28] Oiwake
    Karasuno's fastest attacker
    is probably that #10.
[09:32] Oiwake
    He knows his quicks are
    up against our wall,
[09:37] Oiwake
    so why doesn't he appear nervous?
[09:42] (Flashback) Kei
    When we faced Nekoma,
[09:44] (Flashback) Kei
    our freak quicks got blocked. Why is that?
[09:47] (Flashback) Hinata
    I know. Because Inuoka was awesome.
[09:50] (Flashback) Kei
    Well... sure, let's assume that's true.
[09:54] (Flashback) Kage
    It's because Nekoma's middle blocker
    got accustomed to Hinata's moves.
[09:58] (Flashback) Kei
    That's right. He got used to it.
[10:01] (Flashback) Kei
    But I also think it's because Nekoma
     had a really smart player.
[10:06] (Flashback) Kei
    It was
[10:08] (Flashback) ---
    probably the pudding-head.
[10:10] (Flashback) Hinata
    You mean Kenma?
[10:12] (Flashback) Inuoka
    Kenma-san's caught a cold.
[10:14] (Flashback) Kozume
    Shut up, Inuoka. I don't have a cold.
[10:17] (Flashback) Kei
    To be honest, I never thought
    they'd regroup that fast.
[10:20] (Flashback) Kei
    But fast or slow, any team will
    get used to our freak quick.
[10:27] (Flashback) Kei
    Your quicks are powerful weapons,
    but they aren't invincible.
[10:32] (Flashback) Kei
    What matters is...
[10:34] Kage
    ...how we use them.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[10:42] Nishi
    Ryu.
[10:43] Tanaka
    All right.
[10:45] Kage
    I don't care how fast your reflexes are...
[10:47] Kage
    Your read block won't be fast enough.
[11:01] Guy
    What was that?
[11:04] Hinata
    All right!
[11:05] Kage
    Good.
[11:06] Iwaizumi
    And there you have it. The monster quick!
[11:08] Mizoguchi
    It sure is powerful.
[11:10] Irihata
    It's scary. It's awful.
[11:13] Oikawa
    That genius gets on my nerves...
[11:16] Coach
    What a reckless toss.
[11:18] Coach
    He made a random toss to thwart
    Aone by brute force.
[11:22] Oiwake
    But the spiker was there to hit it.
[11:25] Coach
    He must've spiked it by sheer luck.
[11:28] Oiwake
    That #10...
[11:30] Oiwake
    Do you know who he is?
[11:32] Coach
    No. I never saw him in
    junior high tournaments, either.
[11:36] Oiwake
    Was it luck or by design?
[11:39] Nishi
    We're counting on you, Tsukishima.
[11:41] Tsuki
    Yes.
[11:42] Tsuki
    King. Toss a little away from the net.
[11:45] ---
    I don't want to get blocked.
[11:51] Tsuki
    Huh?
[11:51] Kage
    I said, "Okay."
[11:53] Tsuki
    You clearly didn't.
[11:55] Tsuki
    You don't want to take orders
    from peasants. Is that it?
[11:58] Kage
    Huh?
[12:00] Tanaka
    You guys, stop it. Don't you ever learn?
[12:02] Mizoguchi
    Kageyama finally used that quick.
[12:05] Irihata
    Date Tech must be confused right now.
[12:08] Irihata
    You won't see a quick like that
    anywhere else in the whole world.
[12:13] Irihata
    It's a scary thing to have to anticipate.
[12:17] Hinata
    I'm sorry.
[12:18] Kage (Overlap)
    Airhead! Hinata, you lousy airhead!
[12:18] Irihata
    But, other than that,
    they need a lot of work.
[12:20] Asahi (Overlap)
    Don't worry. Don't worry.
[12:21] Hinata
    Noya-san, I'm sorry.
[12:22] Nishi
    Leave it to me.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[12:25] Moniwa
    Aone, nice serve.
[12:31] Team
    All right.
[12:32] Futakuchi
    That one was an ordinary toss.
[12:35] Moniwa
    Was the last one just luck?
[12:37] Moniwa
    Or is #10 the only one who can do it?
[12:39] Sakunami
    Good job.
[12:43] Hinata
    Nice, Tsukishima. One more.
[12:45] Yama
    Tsukki, nice.
[12:52] Kamasaki
    All right. If they score, we score back.
[12:55] Moniwa
    Nice, Kamasaki.
[12:56] Sasaya
    Way to go, Kamachi.
[12:59] Tanaka
    We'll score back.
[13:00] Nishi
    All right.
SIGN    Karasuno 6 - 4 Date Tech
SIGN    Karasuno 6 - 5 Date Tech
SIGN    Karasuno 7 - 5 Date Tech
[13:13] Mizoguchi
    The point spread isn't budging.
[13:15] Irihata
    Look at their rotation.
[13:17] Irihata
    Karasuno's #10 is up front again.
[13:21] Oiwake
    There he is, #10...
[13:23] Coach
    Kageyama hasn't done that
    super-fast toss since.
[13:27] Coach
    I just remembered.
    He was in Kitagawa Daiichi Junior High.
[13:31] Coach
    I saw him do a similar toss,
    but it was too fast for the spikers.
[13:38] Oiwake
    That toss makes me think he's
    reverted to a bad junior high habit.
[13:43] Oiwake
    But...
[13:45] ---
    That #10 spiked it.
[13:50] Oiwake
    He spiked it effortlessly.
[13:53] Moniwa
    Futakuchi.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[13:56] Kamasaki
    Nice, Futakuchi.
[13:57] Guy
    You can't keep Date Tech down for long.
[14:00] Guy2
    As soon as Karasuno's #10 rotated to the front,
[14:03] Guy2
    Date Tech's awesome blocker #7 is also up front.
[14:08] Guy2
    It's the iron wall versus the insanely-fast quick!
[14:13] Kei
    We only used the freak quick once.
    They must think we just got lucky.
[14:17] Kage
    Let's do another one.
[14:19] Hinata
    Yeah.
[14:24] Sawa
    Let serve! Move up!
[14:26] Guy
    He saved it.
[14:27] Guy
    But a quick would be impossible.
[14:31] Guy
    Who can he toss to—
[14:37] Kage
    All right.
[14:39] Sawa (Overlap)
    Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
[14:40] Coach
    That toss again.
[14:41] Coach
    And this time from the back of the court!
[14:46] Oiwake
    It wasn't... luck?
[14:52] Guy2
    And Date Tech calls a time out.
[14:55] Guy
    Karasuno's #10 is amazing.
[14:57] ---
    Who can hit a toss like that?
[15:00] Iwaizumi
    The setter is the amazing one, for
    getting his toss perfectly to the spiker.
[15:06] Hanamaki
    Who would expect a incredible
    technique like that?
[15:09] Hanamaki
    We certainly didn't, at first.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[15:12] Oiwake
    If those quicks are intentional,
    our read blocks will be too slow.
[15:16] Oiwake
    And yet, if we abandon that,
    they'll start pummeling us.
[15:21] Oiwake
    When #10 might be about to spike,
     mark him instead of the toss.
[15:27] Oiwake
    Jump when you can anticipate
     the toss's trajectory.
[15:29] Oiwake
    But it's also possible those spikes
     were just lucky.
[15:32] Oiwake
    Remain calm, and be ready for anything.
[15:34] Team
    Right!
[15:37] Sasaya
    I've never seen a quick like that, ever.
[15:39] Moniwa
    I wonder if #10 is the only guy who can do it.
[15:43] Moniwa
    If that wasn't by luck, then he's a monster.
[15:47] Kamasaki
    Sure, those quicks were jaw-dropping,
[15:49] Kamasaki
    but their ordinary quicks
    are nothing to sneeze at.
[15:53] Futakuchi
    Anyway, all we have to do is stop #10.
[15:58] Kamasaki
    You're taking the matter too lightly.
[16:00] Futakuchi
    Better than being too serious.
    That's never popular with girls.
[16:03] Kamasaki
    What did you say?
[16:05] Moniwa
    Stop them, Aone.
[16:06] Kamasaki
    You bastard.
[16:09] Guy1
    But then again, all they
    have to do is stop #10.
[16:14] Guy1
    #10's the only guy drawing attention.
[16:16] Guy1
    Against the others, Date Tech's
    blockers are definitely winning.
[16:19] Guy2
    For sure.
[16:21] Moniwa
    Stop that #10, no matter what.
[16:23] Team
    Yeah.
[16:26] Oiwake
    We must stop #10...
[16:28] ---
    That #10...
[16:30] All
    That #10...
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
[16:32] Mon/Fut
    That #10...
[16:34] All
    That #10...
[16:39] (Flashback) Kei
    "That little #10" gets a big reaction.
[16:45] (Flashback) Kei
    The bigger, the better.
[16:47] Hinata (Overlap)
    Bring it!
[16:48] Kei
    The more Hinata shines,
[16:51] ---
    the more the blockers are blinded.
[16:57] Shimada
    We're late! What if we missed the match?
[17:00] Taki
    Who knew it would be so packed?
[17:02] Michimiya
    Hurry, hurry.
[17:03] Taki/Shim
    Huh?
[17:04] Michimiya
    Oh, good. The boys' second match is still on.
[17:07] Aya
    Awesome! They're beating Date Tech.
[17:09] Hinata
    Bring it on!
[17:15] Futakuchi
    Damn, that was fast.
[17:17] Futakuchi
    That was pretty close though, Aone.
[17:20] Michimiya
    What was that?
[17:22] Member2
    A quick?
[17:23] Member3
    He's a first-year, isn't he?
[17:25] Aya
    Wasn't that little boy's jump super high?
[17:30] Shimada
    What are you smirking about?
[17:32] Suga
    Good job, Hinata.
[17:33] Michimiya
    Oh?
[17:34] Suga
    Way to go! Give us another one!
[17:38] Yamaguchi
    Nice serve, one more!
[17:38] Michimiya
    Sugawara is on the bench...
[17:42] Asahi
    Nishinoya.
[17:44] Tanaka
    B!
[17:45] Hinata
    Send me the toss.
[17:46] Futaguchi
    Two attackers.
[17:47] Moniwa
    Who's gonna spike?
[17:49] Futakuchi
    He's gonna jump.
[17:52] Futakuchi
    He didn't jump?
[17:58] Aya
    That was an ordinary quick.
[18:00] Member2
    They can change the
     speed of their tosses?
[18:04] (Flashback) Sawa
    Well, we actually have some rather
    interesting first-years...
[18:08] (Flashback) Sawa
    If those guys start playing their part,
[18:10] (Flashback) Sawa
    I feel Karasuno is going
    to evolve explosively.
[18:13] (Flashback) ---
    That's what I think.
[18:16] Michimiya
    Amazing.
[18:18] Sasaya
    Damn, what's with that #10?
[18:22] Moniwa
    Hey, hey, hey.
[18:24] Moniwa
    Don't get overwhelmed.
[18:26] Moniwa
    Our attacks are scoring, too.
[18:29] Moniwa
    Sure, that #10's a shocker,
[18:31] ---
    but you've ground all
     kinds of spikers into the dust!
[18:34] Moniwa
    Even Karasuno's ace!
[18:36] Moniwa
    You can stop them again.
[18:39] Team
    Right!
[18:40] Futakuchi
    Don't say "you." Say "we."
[18:44] Moniwa
    Futakuchi, I'm sorry I thought
[18:47] ---
    you were just a damned cocky
    underclassman all this time.
[18:49] Moniwa
    You were thinking that?
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
[19:12] Takeda
    He jumped twice!
[19:13] Takeda
    He's so tall, he can reach above the net
    with just a slight jump.
[19:18] Kei
    He's not just tall. His arms are long,
    and his shoulders are broad.
[19:21] ---
    Those are all powerful weapons.
[19:23] Kei
    But that's not all.
[19:26] Kei
    He stays calm to avoid tunnel vision,
[19:29] ---
    and he has the will to block no matter what.
[19:32] Kei
    He has it all.
    That's why he blocks so well.
[19:37] Shimada
    Hey, that block was bad news.
[19:39] Taki
    Blocks like that can
     change a match's momentum.
[19:42] Taki
    If we don't score the next one,
    Date Tech could break our rhythm.
[19:46] Moniwa
    Let's stop them again.
[19:48] All
    Yeah.
[19:49] Yama
    Stay calm!

    #10!
[20:38] Kage
    Clearing the path...
[20:40] Kage
    ...for the ace.
[20:46] (Flashback) Hinata
    The view of the other side of the net...
[20:49] Hinata
    ...opens up.
[20:53] Asahi
    Yes.
[20:56] ---
    This is the view.
[21:06] ---
    Yes!
[21:07] Kei
    All right!
[21:12] ---
    That was...
[21:14] Shimada
    That was the pipe Nekoma used.
[21:19] Nishi
    Asahi-san!
[21:20] Sawa
    Asahi-san!
[21:20] Tanaka
    Asahi!
[21:21] Asahi
    You guys... are awesome.
[21:25] Asahi
    Thank you.
[21:27] Nishi
    What are you talking about?
    You're the one who scored, Asahi-san!
[21:27] Yama (Overlap)
    Nice, Asahi-san.
[21:30] Nishi
    Be proud of it. Come on.
[21:32] (Flashback) Suga
    Please open the way for the ace!
[21:38] Suga
    Yes!
[21:40] Kage
    What's the matter?
[21:42] Hinata
    It wasn't me that scored...
[21:45] Hinata
    I didn't even spike the ball, but...
[21:50] (Flashback) Aone
    #10!
[21:54] Hinata
    That...
[21:57] ---
    ...felt incredible.
[22:02] Kage
    Being the best decoy ever
     is as cool as being the ace.
[22:09] Hinata
    "The best decoy ever."
[22:14] Kei
    All our secret weapons are out in the open.
[22:22] Kei
    The moment of truth is near.
