[00:02] Sawa
    Free ball.
[00:10] All
    All right!
[00:10] All
    All right!
[00:12] Sawa
    Nice kill.
[00:13] Suga
    Nice kill.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[00:15] Tanaka
    Tsukishima, one more. Nice serve!
[00:20] Shimada
    If this give-and-take continues,
[00:20] Moniwa (Overlap)
    Nice receive.
[00:21] Sawa (Overlap)
    #7's coming.
[00:23] Sasaya (Overlap)
    Right.
[00:24] Shimada
    Karasuno could win the first set.
[00:27] Shimada
    But to totally get ahead...
[00:30] Shimada
    That's it!
[00:31] Taki
    Nice one touch!
[00:32] Kei
    Counter!
[00:34] Nishi
    Free ball.
[00:36] Futakuchi
    C quick!
[00:37] Futakuchi
    Don't underestimate us!
[00:41] Takeda
    That's the first time two blockers
    went up against Hinata-kun's quick.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[00:51] Michimiya
    Amazing.
[00:53] Michimiya
    It's actually our set point against Date Tech.
SIGN    Haikyu!!
SIGN    Episode 18: Guarding Your Back
[02:34] Shimada
    Nice receive.
[02:35] Taki
    Karasuno's on a roll.
[02:37] Hinata
    Give me the toss!
[02:48] All
    All right.
SIGN    Karasuno Date Tech
[02:57] Guy
    Wow. Karasuno won it, for real.
[03:01] Mizoguchi
    As expected, Karasuno's scary
    when they get on a roll.
[03:05] Mizoguchi
    They might take the second set
     if they keep it up.
[03:09] Mizoguchi (Overlap)
    Kunimi, you dolt!
     Move your feet, or you can sit out!
[03:10] Irihata
    But I doubt we'll see
    a repeat of that first set.
[03:15] Irihata
    Because Date Tech's giant, #7, will no longer
     be surprised by those quicks.
[03:16] Moniwa (Overlap)
    That was a close one, Aone.
[03:18] Moniwa (Overlap)
    We'll take the next one. We will.
[03:24] Takeda
    That tall #7 and lastly that #6
[03:28] Takeda
    managed to touch Hinata-kun's quick.
[03:31] Kei
    Yeah, it's amazing.
[03:34] Kei
    The cornerstone of our offense
    right now is that freak quick.
[03:38] Kei
    We can't let them start
    blocking it, like Nekoma did.
SIGN    Tanaka Kageyama Tsukishima
SIGN    Hinata Sawamura Azumane
[03:43] Kei
    So, for the second set, I'm going to move
    our starting rotation two spots forward.
[03:49] Kei
    In the first set
[03:51] Kei
    our rotation directly matched
    up Hinata and no-eyebrows #7,
[03:56] Kei
    so we'll shift that over
     two places to start.
[03:59] Takeda
    I see. That means Hinata-kun
[04:02] Takeda
    won't get marked by #7
    like he was in the first set.
[04:09] Kei
    But we can't completely avoid that.
[04:12] Kei
    All we're doing is shifting players around.
[04:14] Kei
    And... While Hinata won't get marked as much,
[04:18] Kei
    the other players will get marked instead.
[04:22] Asahi
    We can't let Hinata
    shoulder all of our burden.
[04:25] Asahi
    When Hinata's at his best,
     we're at our best.
[04:29] Asahi
    I'll do my part as the ace.
[04:34] Tan/Nish
    Asahi-san, you're awesome!
[04:36] Sawa
    You've grown so much, Asahi.
[04:37] Asahi
    What are you, my relative?
[04:39] Hinata
    Me, too!
[04:41] Hinata
    I can't do a back row attack like you, Asahi-san.
[04:46] Hinata
    So I'll score as many points
    as I can while I'm up front.
[04:49] Hinata
    And I'll be the best decoy ever!
[04:54] Asahi
    Yeah, I'm counting on you.
[04:56] Asahi
    You can count on me, too.
[04:58] Hinata
    Right!
[05:00] Banner
    Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
[05:04] Banner
    Go! Go! Let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
[05:05] Michimiya
    The second set is about to start.
[05:08] Asahi
    I don't envy you, Tsukishima.
[05:11] Asahi
    You'll be facing #7 a lot more
     than in the first set.
[05:16] Tsuki
    Nah. No one expects me
     to beat their #7 head-on.
[05:23] Tsuki
    It's Hinata's job to steal the spotlight.
[05:27] Tsuki
    It's my job to keep trouble from happening
[05:30] Tsuki
    while Hinata's rotated into the back row.
[05:33] Tsuki
    It's the usual situation, isn't it?
[05:36] Tsuki
    Besides, that blocker has already
    locked on to you, Azumane-san.
[05:44] Sawa
    Tanaka, nice serve.
[05:47] Moniwa (Overlap)
    Nice receive.
[05:48] Coach
    Karasuno moved their rotation forward.
[05:49] Futakuchi (Overlap)
    Left.
[05:50] Coach
    I wonder if they're trying to avoid
    a match-up between their #10 and Aone?
[05:59] Oiwake
    It doesn't matter what the match-up is.
[06:01] Oiwake
    The spiker in front must be blocked.
    That's all there is to it.
[06:04] Futakuchi
    We're usually cocky problem children...
[06:08] Futakuchi
    So at least during our matches,
    we should act like good underclassmen.
[06:14] Sawa
    Kageyama.
[06:21] All
    All right.
[06:22] Asahi
    He was lured in for a moment by Hinata's movements,
[06:24] Asahi
    but he's already on the left...
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[06:31] Sawa
    Nice, Tanaka.
[06:32] Kage
    Nice receive.
[06:33] Asahi
    I'm open!
[06:34] Moniwa
    Here comes #3.
[06:39] Taki
    Well, they're basically locked
    on to our guy with the long hair.
[06:44] Taki
    Our Shrimpy is the only
    player who can do a quick
[06:46] ---
    when the receive goes awry.
[06:48] Obara
    Nice, Aone.
[06:49] Moniwa
    Yeah! Let's block the next one, too.
[06:54] Michimiya
    Nice, Sawamura.
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[06:58] All
    All right.
[07:01] Guy
    Karasuno's #10 is up front now.
[07:01] Hinata (Overlap)
    Bring it.
[07:06] Tanaka
    It's up, nice.
[07:07] Tanaka
    Kageyama, cover.
[07:10] Hinata
    Bring it here.
[07:14] Kamasaki
    He's so damned fast when he's right in front of you.
[07:15] Sawa (Overlap)
    Nice, Hinata, Kageyama.
[07:17] Kamasaki
    What a monster.
[07:27] All
    All right.
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[07:30] Mizoguchi
    Even after Karasuno shifted their rotation,
[07:32] Mizuguchi
    their surprise quicks are still
    surprising them, don't you think?
[07:37] Irihata
    But as time goes on,
    they'll begin to lose effectiveness.
[07:40] Irihata
    If Date Tech wins this set
     and takes it to the third set,
[07:45] Irihata
    Karasuno will find themselves
    at an immediate disadvantage.
[07:48] Irihata
    Karasuno must find ways to battle Date Tech's #7
[07:51] Irihata
    while their #10 is in the back row.
[07:55] Irihata
    The deciding factor might be
    how they deal
[07:59] Irihata
    with the iron wall
    without #10 to act as decoy.
[08:03] Sawa
    Hinata, nice serve.
[08:05] Guy1
    I heard Karasuno's #10's quicks are amazing.
[08:06] Moniwa (Overlap)
    Nice receive.
[08:07] Futakuchi (Overlap)
    I'm open!
[08:08] Guy2
    Which one is he?
[08:09] Guy3
    Oh, he's in the back row right now.
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[08:12] Asahi
    Hey, Tsukishima.
[08:14] ---
    You said it's your job to keep trouble
[08:16] Asahi
    from happening while Hinata's
    rotated into the back.
[08:21] Asahi
    The fact that you're doing that against
     Date Tech is plenty impressive.
[08:25] Asahi
    It's true that our offense relies on
    Hinata and Kageyama,
[08:31] Asahi
    but it's also essential
    to augment their attacks.
[08:36] Asahi
    Just as spikers can't score
    without strong receivers to help,
[08:42] Asahi
    playing our parts now
    will let us win the match.
[08:52] Tanaka
    Sorry. Kageyama, cover.
[08:53] Kage
    Got it!
[08:54] Asahi
    The balls come to the ace
    when the going gets tough.
[08:58] Asahi
    I'm open!
[08:59] Kage
    Azumane-san.
[09:00] Moniwa
    Coming from the left.
[09:02] Asahi
    So what if it's an iron wall?
[09:07] Asahi
    I'll blast through it.
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
[09:15] All
    All right.
[09:19] Guy1
    Date Tech's blocking is awesome.
[09:21] Hinata
    Asahi-san, one more.
[09:22] Hinata
    Although he's only middle blocker,
     it's like #10 is their real ace.
[09:23] Suga (Overlap)
    Don't worry, don't worry.
[09:27] Irihata
    #7 is the best blocker in the iron wall.
[09:31] Irihata
    Things will get rough for his team
    if he doesn't rotate to the rear soon.
[09:33] Moniwa (Overlap)
    Let's do another one.
[09:37] Irihata
    Will Karasuno's ace hold up?
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[09:46] Tanaka
    Daichi-san, nice receive.
[09:48] Kage
    Got it!
[09:48] Moniwa
    #3, #3!
[09:52] Asahi
    I won't let them break me again.
[09:56] Moniwa
    One touch!
[09:56] Oiwake/Coach
    Counter!
[09:59] Takeda
    Karasuno...
[10:02] Takeda
    ...has a wall, too!
[10:05] All
    All right.
[10:06] Guy1
    Whoa! They blocked the quick.
[10:08] Guy2
    After all, Karasuno's #3 and #11
    are their two tallest players.
[10:08] Asahi (Overlap)
    Nice block, Tsukishima.
[10:10] Tsuki
    Thanks.
[10:12] Shimada
    All right! Block point!
[10:15] Taki
    Good. If Date Tech scores,
     their huge #7 rotates to the rear.
[10:21] Moniwa
    Next, next.
[10:22] Futakuchi
    One more!
[10:23] Michimiya
    Yes!
[10:24] Aya
    Keep gaining on them!
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[10:28] Scorer (Vo)
    Whoa, he's up. Karasuno's #10.
[10:31] Hinata
    All right.
[10:33] Taki
    Only six more points to go.
[10:35] ---
    Get 'em while you're up front, Shrimpy.
[10:41] Nishi
    #12, #12!
[10:43] Tanaka
    It's up. Kageyama, cover.
[10:45] Kageyama
    Right!
[10:46] Hinata
    Bring it.
[10:49] Guy3
    He's awesome.
[10:52] ---
    Usually they'd let the left handle
    that one, but he used a quick instead.
[10:56] Kamasaki
    Take that.
[10:58] Kamasaki
    Yeah! We're going to stall them.
[11:01] Sasaya
    Nice, Kamachi!
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[11:05] Takeda
    We just can't seem to pull ahead.
[11:08] Kei
    Persevere. Go at it carefully.
[11:12] Tanaka
    Nice, Asahi-san.
[11:14] Nishi
    Free ball.
[11:15] Hinata
    Give me the toss!
[11:18] Kamasaki
    Crap...
[11:22] All
    All right.
[11:22] Ennoshita
    Nice kill!
[11:23] Suga
    One more!
[11:25] Michimiya
    One more to match point.
    Go! One more point!
[11:29] Ennoshita
    Nice receive.
[11:30] Shimada
    Date Tech's big guy is in the rear,
    and Shrimpy's still up front.
[11:30] Tanaka (Overlap)
    Nice receive, Noya-san.
[11:32] Nishi (Overlap)
    Free ball.
[11:37] Shimada
    This is our chance to gain on them.
[11:40] Futakuchi
    Kamasaki-san, you're hiding in Aone's shadow.
[11:43] ---
    Are you intimidated or something?
[11:45] Kamasaki
    Huh?
[11:46] Kamasaki
    Cut the crap. All of us are...
[11:51] Kamasaki
    ...part of the iron wall!
[11:55] All
    All right!
[11:57] Nishi
    Damn it.
[11:58] Sawa
    We'll score the next one.
[12:00] Asahi
    Sorry.
[12:01] Takeda
    And now it's #7's turn up front...
[12:02] Sakunami (Overlap)
    We're counting on you.
[12:05] Kei
    Don't worry.
[12:06] Kei
    The freak quick will still work.
[12:09] Kei
    But...
[12:12] Sawa
    Nishinoya.
[12:13] Tanaka
    Nice receive.
[12:14] Hinata
    Bring it.
[12:20] All
    All right.
[12:20] Shimada
    That was too close for comfort!
     It barely got sucked in.
[12:23] Taki
    At least it's match point now.
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[12:26] Michimiya
    Go! One point!
[12:28] Hinata
    All right.
[12:32] Moniwa
    You can block the next one. I know it!
[12:35] Moniwa
    We've only just begun.
[12:39] Guy1
    It's Karasuno's match point,
[12:41] Guy1
    but #10's in the back now.
[12:45] Kei
    And Date Tech's strongest
    blockers are up front...
[12:50] Tanaka
    Nice serve.
[12:55] Hinata
    S-Sorry!
[12:55] Moniwa (Overlap)
    Good eye!
[12:57] Hinata
    I'm sorry.
[12:57] Futakuchi (Overlap)
    Lucky, lucky!
[12:58] Sawa
    It's okay. Don't worry about it.
[12:59] Kage (Overlap)
    Hinata, you lousy airhead!
[12:59] Sawa
    You know what you did wrong,
    so don't beat yourself up.
[13:01] Tanaka (Overlap)
    Don't, you idiot.
[13:03] Hinata
    Right!
SIGN    Date Tech Karasuno
[13:04] Guy1
    It's deuce if Date Tech scores two more points.
[13:07] Guy1
    That's a very possible,
    given their current rotation.
[13:10] Guy2
    If it's deuce while #10's in the back,
    Karasuno will be in trouble.
[13:15] Kinoshita
    We'll get the next one. Don't worry.
[13:17] Yama
    Date Tech's #7 is amazing.
[13:19] Hinata
    Yeah. I thought he had me
    blocked that last time.
[13:23] Hinata
    But at least we have
    Asahi-san playing up front.
[13:24] Asahi (Overlap)
    Bring it, one point!
[13:28] Suga
    Asahi.
[13:30] Michimiya
    Azumane.
[13:32] Hinata
    The ace is there. We'll be okay.
[13:53] Kage
    Tsukishima.
[13:56] Sasaya
    Nice receive.
[13:57] Sawa (Overlap)
    Here comes a quick.
[13:57] Shimada
    We're doing well, but they're wising up.
[13:58] Asahi (Overlap)
    #7! #7!
[14:02] Nishi
    Cover! Cover!
[14:03] Kage
    Azumane-san.
[14:04] Asahi
    Yeah.
[14:05] Asahi
    What kind of ace am I,
    if I can't score this last point?
[14:08] Moniwa
    We've defeated this spiker once already.
[14:11] Moniwa
    We're no Iron Wall if we can't do it again!
[14:14] Sakunami
    Moniwa-san, nice block.
[14:17] Sawa
    Crap, the rear is wide open.
[14:24] Audience
    He saved it.
[14:25] Nishi
    Cover for me!
[14:26] Asahi
    Spike it. Keep spiking as
    long as tosses keep coming.
[14:29] Asahi
    Left! One more!
[14:31] Kage
    Azumane-san.
[14:32] Taki
    That toss is too close to the net.
[14:37] Shimada
    A joust.
[14:38] Taki
    Get 'em, long-haired guy.
[14:58] Nishi
    It's too far...
[15:08] ---
    His foot!?
[15:10] Michimiya
    Awesome.
[15:12] Kei
    He's incredible.
[15:13] All
    One more!
[15:14] Asahi
    Nishinoya, nice save!
[15:16] Asahi
    Get back! Get back in position!
[15:19] Asahi
    I need enough distance to get up to speed.
[15:22] Asahi
    I have to jump with all my might.
[15:24] Asahi
    As many times as it takes!
[15:27] Asahi
    Don't lose concentration.
[15:28] Asahi
    Don't stop running.
[15:30] Asahi
    If I lose momentum, the ball will drop.
[15:33] Nishi
    Kageyama, cover.
[15:34] Kage
    Right!
[15:36] Suga
    One more!
[15:37] Suga
    One more!
[15:39] Asahi
    I won't stop 'til I score.
[15:43] (Flashback) Suga
    Asahi spikes best when
    he's slightly away from the net...
[15:47] Kage
    ...and has a high toss.
[15:50] Takeda
    Kageyama-kun's tossing to him again?
[15:53] Kei
    It's fine.
[15:54] Takeda
    Huh?
[15:55] Kei
    This is the best choice right now, Sensei.
[16:01] Suga
    Go, Asahi!
[16:03] Sawa
    Blast through, Asahi!

    All right.

    They did it! They did it!

    Let's line up.
[17:09] All
    Thank you very much.
SIGN    Karasuno
[17:32] Nishinoya
    You did it, Asahi-san.
[17:33] Hinata
    Asahi-san. You went,
     "Boom!" past Date Tech's blockers.
[17:37] Hinata
    And they went like, "Argh!"
[17:39] Hinata
    And I was like, "Ka-blam!"
[17:41] Tsuki
    Try speaking actual Japanese.
[17:45] Asahi
    I'm the ace,
[17:48] ---
    but you guys are heroes.
[17:52] Hinata
    Heroes!
[17:54] Nishi
    I like that.
[18:01] Moniwa
    You did great against
    their freakish quicks.
[18:06] Aone
    This time—
[18:06] Aone
    Spring Tournament!
[18:07] Futakuchi
    That's right, Moniwa-san.
[18:09] ---
    We'll get our revenge in the
    Spring Tournament prelims!
[18:13] Futakuchi
    The prelims are in September, right?
[18:14] Futakuchi
    We'll go back and start
    strategizing right away.
[18:16] Futakuchi
    We'll beat Karasuno if we play
    them in the Spring Tournament preli—
[18:19] Moniwa
    The third-years will be gone
    by the Spring Tournament.
[18:23] Futakuchi
    Why? Because you can't be bothered with us anymore?!
[18:26] Moniwa
    What are you talking about?
[18:29] ---
    I've told you this over and over.
[18:31] Moniwa
    The third-years' season ends
     after the Inter-High.
[18:34] Futakuchi
    But...
[18:35] Moniwa
    You guys are strong.
SIGN    Iron Wall of Date
[18:38] Moniwa
    They say we're a powerhouse,
[18:41] Moniwa
    but they've also said our
    third-years are duds.
[18:45] Moniwa
    They said we're a bad crop.
[18:47] Moniwa
    We were able to maintain our reputation
     as the Iron Wall because of you guys.
[18:53] Moniwa
    That's why, by the time
     you guys are third-years,
[18:55] Moniwa
    you have to make it
     to the Spring Tournament.
[18:57] Moniwa
    You'll have a new team and a new strategy.
[19:00] Moniwa
    We lost in the preliminaries
     this year, but next year...
[19:03] Moniwa
    Aoba Johsai, Shiratorizawa, and Karasuno...
[19:06] Moniwa
    You'll conquer them all,
    and go on to nationals!
[19:09] Futakuchi
    But...
[19:10] Moniwa
    Understood?
[19:14] Futakuchi
    Yeah.
[19:15] Kamasaki
    We can't hear you, Futakuchi.
[19:20] Futakuchi/Aone
    Yeah!
[19:23] Michimiya
    Sawamura! Sugawara! Azumane!
[19:26] Michimiya
    Congrats on winning your second match.
[19:28] Sawa
    Michimiya! I thought I heard some girls behind us.
[19:32] Suga
    You didn't notice them?
[19:34] Tana/Nishi
    Aya-senpai.
[19:37] Michimiya
    You got your revenge.
[19:44] Sawa
    Yeah.
[19:45] ---
    And we're gonna keep on winning.
[19:48] Takeda
    Um, Ukai-kun.
[19:50] Takeda
    That last toss.
[19:52] ---
    What did you mean when you said
     it was the best choice right now?
[19:56] Kei
    When a receive goes awry and
    we can't make an offensive play,
[20:00] Kei
    the last ball always goes left,
     to the ace's position.
[20:05] Kei
    I wanted him to know what it feels like
    to be the last resort
[20:09] Sawa (Overlap)
    Thank you very much.
[20:10] Kei
    and to wrestle a point away from that wall.
[20:11] All (Overlap)
    Thank you very much.
[20:14] Takeda
    I see.
[20:15] ---
    That'll boost his confidence
    for our next match.
[20:19] Kei
    From what I've heard, Azumane
    got beaten pretty badly by them before.
[20:25] Kei
    But I'm sure he's fine now.
[20:28] Kei
    He fought tenaciously against them,
    even without our decoy.
[20:32] Kei
    It's also a matter of pride when
    the ball gets tossed to the spiker.
[20:39] Kei
    Because it means he's earned
    the setter's trust.
[20:44] Kei
    He's had two setters put their trust in him.
[20:47] Kei
    That's got to give him confidence.
[20:51] Shimada
    I've gotta admit, Date Tech's
    blocking was downright scary.
[20:54] Taki
    Right?
[20:56] Taki
    I wonder how they decided when
    it was appropriate to use
[21:00] Taki
    the first-year duo's crazy quicks.
[21:03] Shimada
    Come to think of it, they didn't
     use any signals during the rally.
[21:09] Hinata
    They didn't notice our signals, huh?
[21:12] Kage
    Yeah. They should be effective for a while.
[21:15] Tsuki
    You're a couple of meatheads,
    so I'm amazed you came up with them.
[21:19] Hinata
    I-It wasn't us that thought them up.
[21:22] Tsuki
    Oh, no wonder. Who did the thinking for you?
[21:26] Hinata
    Sugawara-san.
[21:29] Suga
    We did it. We got our revenge.
[21:32] Sawa
    Yeah.
[21:34] Suga
    But then again...
[21:37] Suga
    I do wish my tosses could've
    played a part in the victory.
[21:43] Suga
    Er, sorry about that.
    Please don't repeat that.
[21:47] Sawa
    I'm glad.
[21:50] Sawa
    I'm glad you still want to fight.
[21:55] Sawa
    Tomorrow's another match. We'll win again.
[21:58] Suga
    Yeah.
