***SIGN*** Rule the Court
**[00:04] Date**
Go, go, let's go! Let's go, Date Tech!
***SIGN*** The Iron Wall of Date
**[00:11] Oikawa**
Let's play!
**[00:13] Futa**
Yeah.
**[00:14] Oikawa**
Now, now. Don't be so tense.
**[00:17] ---**
You guys still have next year.
**[00:20] Futa**
That doesn't matter.
**[00:22] ---**
Positions and such don't matter
once you're on the court.
**[00:26] Oika**
I know, right?
**[00:28] Ref**
Heads is Seijoh, tails is Date Tech.
**[00:30] Oika**
* It doesn't matter if you're*
* a first-year or a third-year.*
**[00:33] Oika**
*The strong are the strong,*
**[00:35] ---**
*and the one who drops the ball loses.*
**[00:42] Waku**
All right!
**[00:44] Oika**
*It's pretty simple, actually.*
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Episode 18: "The Losers"
**[02:24] Aki**
It's out!
**[02:27] Person**
Don't mind! Next, next!
**[02:29] Enn**
I'm sorry.
**[02:32] Enn**
*I haven't even hit that many,*
**[02:34] ---**
* but I've managed to miss*
* three spikes this set.*
***SIGN*** Wakunan Karasuno
**[02:37] Sae**
Oh, man. What's up with him?
**[02:40] Shima**
I think it's because he's on the right,
and he's not used to that.
**[02:43] Shima**
But I think the biggest
factor could be pressure.
**[02:44] Shima**
One more!
**[02:54] Person**
Got it.
**[02:54] Person**
All right, one touch!
**[03:00] Kei**
*Damn it... They're pretty good, after all.*
***SIGN*** Wakunan Karasuno
**[03:04] Nka**
All right!
**[03:07] Other**
Wakunan's Nakashima's really
stepping up his game.
**[03:10] Other**
On the other hand, seems like
Karasuno can't get it back.
**[03:15] Kino**
Hey!
**[03:17] Kino**
You got a look on your face
like the world's going to end!
**[03:19] Tana**
It's too early for the world to end.
**[03:21] Nihi**
I'm the Earth Defense Force!
**[03:23] Enn**
I do not look like that!
**[03:25] Nishi**
All right! Chikara's back!
**[03:31] Kei**
If the ball gets blown away,
there's not much you can do,
**[03:31] Enn**
*Calm down. I can't keep dwelling on it.*
**[03:33] ---**
but there are still some
that you can pick up.
**[03:36] Enn**
*I've got to do this! Like Daichi-san!*
**[03:36] Kei**
Your attacks are getting
in there. Keep it up!
**[03:38] All**
Right!
**[03:39] Hina**
Coach!
**[03:41] Kei**
Huh?
**[03:42] Hina**
So the Little Giant was like Wakunan's #1?
**[03:48] Kei**
Well... His play style is probably
**[03:50] ---**
the most similar in the prefecture right now.
**[03:55] Kage**
Hey, don't try to duel with him.
**[03:57] Kage**
He's better in mid-air
battles than you are.
**[04:01] Kage**
Just play like you usually do!
**[04:02] Hina**
Why do you have to break
my heart like that?!
**[04:06] Kage**
That was just some kind advice!
**[04:08] Hina**
Kind?!
**[04:09] Hina**
I know that they're good!
**[04:09] Azu**
H-Hinata, calm down...
**[04:12] ---**
That's why I'm trying to
figure out what to do!
**[04:14] Kage**
Don't try to use the brain you don't have!
**[04:16] Hina**
What did you say?!
***SIGN*** Wakunan Karasuno
**[04:20] Hana**
Takeru!
**[04:23] Other**
What a narrow straight!
**[04:25] Other**
He's so good!
***SIGN*** Takeru
**[04:26] Waku**
Nice kill!
**[04:26] Fam**
Nice kill!
**[04:29] Naka**
*Your height doesn't even reach 170cm...*
**[04:32] Naka**
*You're definitely strong,*
**[04:32] Naka**
Tabi, one more nice serve!
**[04:34] ---**
*but I'm not going to lose, either.*
**[04:34] Kawa**
Yeah, leave it to me!
**[04:37] Naka**
* I'm the one who's going to*
* surpass the Little Giant.*
***SIGN*** Wakunan
**[04:42] Aki**
Nice serve!
**[04:46] Kawa**
Look out!
**[04:48] Tana**
Hinata, get the last!
**[04:49] Hina**
Yeah!
**[04:51] Hina**
I'm going to go for a wipe.
**[04:58] Naka**
That's a king-sized homerun!
**[05:00] Hina**
I'm sorry!
**[05:01] Kei**
As Kageyama said,
**[05:01] Azu**
Don't mind, don't mind!
**[05:02] Kage**
I told you not to try to
match him, you dumbass!
**[05:02] ---**
right now, we're definitely no match
for Nakashima's personal skills.
**[05:08] Naka**
Tabi! One more, nice serve!
**[05:12] Nishi**
All right!
**[05:19] Azu**
It's up front!
**[05:20] Naka**
All right, we picked it up!
**[05:22] Aki**
Two blockers!
**[05:25] Saw**
Ah, again!
**[05:30] Naka**
So fast!
**[05:31] Kei**
Look out!
**[05:40] Kei**
It's a counter!
**[05:42] Kei**
* Your skills are no match for Nakashima*
* or the Little Giant's right now...*
**[05:47] Kei**
*But...*
**[05:50] Kei**
*You can fight with everything you've learned!*
**[05:56] Kei**
Yeah!
**[06:00] Azu**
Are you all right?
**[06:01] Hina**
I got too enthusiastic.
**[06:03] Azu**
Be careful! Seriously, be careful!
**[06:05] Kage**
Bumping into a guy this light is nothing.
**[06:11] Enn**
That was awesome! Nice kill!
**[06:14] Kage**
Even if we're backed into a corner,
**[06:15] ---**
we still have the firepower to break through.
**[06:17] ---**
That's our weapon.
**[06:19] Hina**
*Kageyama's saying something decent?!*
**[06:22] Kage**
I think you said something like
that before, Ennoshita-san.
**[06:25] Hina**
*Oh, yeah...*
**[06:30] Enn**
Yeah.
**[06:31] Kei**
S-Sorry. Are you all right, Sensei?
**[06:34] Take**
I totally flipped backwards.
**[06:37] Take**
You wouldn't believe he'd been having trouble
**[06:39] ---**
with diving receives with that one.
**[06:41] Kei**
Yeah.
**[06:42] Hina**
Go! Killer serve!
**[06:44] Naka**
Karasuno's #10... What
reflexes and maneuverability.
***SIGN*** Wakunan
**[06:49] Naka**
Shiro!
**[06:53] Nishi**
A feint!
**[06:56] Azu**
Nice receive!
**[06:59] Aki**
Out, it's out!
**[07:03] Nishi**
The toss was low! Sorry!
**[07:06] Enn**
* I could see the feint, but*
* I couldn't move fast enough.*
**[07:09] Enn**
*If it were Daichi-san,*
**[07:11] ---**
* he would have been able to get*
* it to the setter properly.*
**[07:14] Enn**
I'm sorry.
**[07:19] Tana**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[07:26] Tana**
Trying to do the same moves
that Daichi-san would do...
**[07:29] Tana**
You're ten years...
Well, that's a bit too long...
**[07:33] Tana**
You're about a year away from that.
**[07:35] Tana**
No matter how you look at it,
that was a nice receive.
**[07:44] Enn**
Let's not mention any realistic
numbers like "one year"...
***SIGN*** Karasuno
**[07:52] Naka**
Cover! Cover!
**[07:52] Kawa**
Takeru!
**[07:58] Waku**
All right!
**[07:59] Enn**
Damn it!
**[08:00] Shima**
We've got to do something about that wipe,
**[08:01] Azu**
That was close! Don't mind!
**[08:02] ---**
or it's going to be rough.
**[08:08] Enn**
* I don't have time to wallow*
* in my failure now.*
**[08:11] Enn**
*Playing on par with Daichi-san*
**[08:13] ---**
*won't be possible right away.*
**[08:15] (Flashback) Hina**
I know that they're good!
**[08:18] (Flashback) ---**
That's why I'm trying to
figure out what to do!
**[08:23] Enn**
Hey, may I have a moment?
**[08:26] Enn**
When their #1 goes for a wipe,
I'll pick up the ball.
**[08:31] Enn**
Tanaka and Asahi-san are way better
at receiving powerful hits than I am.
**[08:35] Enn**
If you two defend the straight sides,
**[08:38] ---**
I'll go deep in the middle and pick up
any balls that go over there.
**[08:44] Enn**
I can't guarantee that it'll work, but...
**[08:45] Azu**
Yeah, let's give it a shot.
**[08:50] Enn**
Th-Thank you very much.
**[08:53] Tana**
Like I'm any better at getting
powerful hits than Ennoshita...
**[08:57] Nishi**
Got it!
**[09:03] Kawa**
All right!
**[09:06] Aki**
Takeru-san!
**[09:07] ---**
Mine!
**[09:08] Naru**
Two blockers!
**[09:14] (Flashback) ---**
I can't guarantee that it'll work, but...
**[09:16] (Flashback) Azu**
Yeah, let's give it a shot.
**[09:19] Enn**
*If I can't pick this up...*
**[09:24] Enn**
*I don't have the right to be on this court!*
**[09:29] Both**
Ennoshita!
**[09:31] Naka**
Damn...
**[09:33] Enn**
*Connect!*
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
**[09:55] Both**
Ennoshita!
**[09:58] Naka**
Damn...
**[10:01] Tana**
Hinata, get the last!
**[10:02] Azu**
Three blockers!
**[10:08] Hina**
*If I hit, they'll get it.*
**[10:11] Hina**
*I'm going to regroup.*
**[10:17] Naka**
*He...*
**[10:17] Nishi**
All right! Got it!
**[10:20] Nari**
What?! He hit the block on purpose?!
**[10:23] Tsuki**
A rebound.
**[10:24] Suga**
Huh? When did he learn that?!
**[10:27] Tsukii**
During the summer training camp.
**[10:30] Tsuki**
But he just got lucky.
**[10:32] Hina**
One more!
**[10:36] Suga**
*With Daichi absent,*
**[10:37] ---**
*our defense is weaker than usual.*
**[10:40] Suga**
*Whether intentionally or subconsciously,*
**[10:41] Hina**
Bring it!
**[10:42] Suga**
*Hinata's trying to deal with this situation.*
**[10:54] Tana**
That was awesome, Hinata!
**[10:58] Boku**
I feel like someone's complimenting me!
**[11:00] Aka**
You're imagining it.
**[11:03] Kage**
Where did you learn that?
**[11:05] Hina**
Actually, Bokuto-san taught
me during the training camp...
**[11:06] Naka**
*I knew that Karasuno had an amazing shrimp,*
**[11:08] Kage**
What? No fair!
**[11:10] Tana**
You lucky bastard!
**[11:10] Naka**
* but I thought that was only*
* because of the setter.*
**[11:12] ---**
You should have told me earlier!
**[11:15] Naka**
*And yet...*
**[11:16] Enn**
All right, Hinata, Tanaka, nice kill!
**[11:19] Nishi**
Chikara!
**[11:22] Nishi**
Nice receive.
**[11:31] Tana**
No fair... Getting one
from Noya-san is no fair.
**[11:34] Azu**
Getting a compliment from
Nishinoya about a receive
**[11:36] ---**
would cheer anyone up.
**[11:38] Kei**
He's in.
**[11:40] Take**
Pardon?
**[11:41] Kei**
He's just a substitute,
**[11:44] ---**
and he can't completely blend
in with the vibe on the court
**[11:46] ---**
since he doesn't belong.
**[11:48] Kei**
I think that's how Ennoshita felt.
**[11:52] Kei**
But I think that play just now
banished that feeling.
**[11:56] Take**
That play just now?
**[11:58] Kei**
He thought of it on his
own, told the team,
**[12:01] ---**
and carried it out.
**[12:03] Kei**
Plays like that give you confidence.
**[12:05] Take**
I see.
**[12:17] Kei**
It's difficult.
**[12:20] Waku**
All right!
**[12:25] Naka**
*Karasuno...*
**[12:27] Naka**
*Up until recently,*
**[12:28] ---**
* they were an average team*
* that didn't stand out.*
**[12:33] (Flashback) Ann**
Truly, the Little Giant!
**[12:36] Naka**
That match showed me that
there was a path like this when
**[12:37] (Flashback) Ann**
This is a good course!
**[12:38] (Flashback) Comm**
He can see so well!
**[12:38] ---**
I was starting to worry about my height.
**[12:42] Naka**
*Karasuno's #10...*
**[12:44] ---**
* The guy who wears the same number*
* as the Little Giant did back then.*
**[12:45] ---**
One more!
**[12:48] Hana**
Takeru!
**[12:49] Naka**
*First, I'm going to defeat you.*
**[12:49] Nishi**
#1's doing a back attack!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Wakunan
**[12:57] Karas**
All right!
**[12:57] Suga**
We caught up!
**[12:59] Hana**
Sorry, the toss was low.
**[13:01] Suga**
Ennoshita, nice serve!
**[13:04] Naka**
Got it!
**[13:07] Peson**
Nice!
**[13:07] Yuu**
All right! Thank goodness.
**[13:10] Kid**
Isamu-nii and Takeru-nii,
**[13:12] ---**
the oldest and second oldest brothers...
Are you sure you're not backwards?
**[13:14] Yuu**
You're gonna make your brother cry.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Wakunan
**[13:16] Tana**
Asahi-san, nice serve!
**[13:24] Aki**
Sorry! That was long!
**[13:26] Nishi**
It's going over the net!
**[13:27] Matsu**
Takeru-san!
**[13:27] Tana**
Kageyama, push through!
**[13:32] Naka**
* It's at times like this*
* that I'm reminded*
**[13:36] ---**
*how high that wall is.*
**[13:40] Hana**
Nice cover, Tabi!
**[13:41] Haku**
Connect!
**[13:43] Naka**
*Karasuno's #10...*
**[13:44] ---**
*I'm not going to lose to you!*
**[13:45] Hana**
Takeru!
**[13:46] Naka**
*Not me, or my team's bravery!*
**[13:52] Waku**
All right!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Wakunan
**[13:59] Oni**
Hang in there.
**[14:00] ---**
If you keep it up, they're start making mistakes.
**[14:03] Oni**
Not to mention their captain's absent.
**[14:06] ---**
Hang in there until they break.
**[14:08] Waku**
Right!
**[14:09] Oni**
And...
**[14:10] Oni**
Go show them who's really the
Little Giant in this match.
**[14:17] Naka**
Right!
**[14:22] Tana**
Hinata, serve!
**[14:23] Hina**
Right!
**[14:24] Tsuki**
Ukai-san...
**[14:26] Kage**
Huh?
**[14:27] Tsuki**
He was saying that it might be okay
to start giving tosses to Azumane-san
**[14:31] Tsuki**
since the match is almost over.
**[14:32] Kage**
Right.
**[14:36] Tana**
The quick's coming!
**[14:38] Kage**
Nice receive!
**[14:43] Kage**
*Now that Hinata's in the back,*
**[14:44] ---**
* they're definitely all going to*
* start being cautious of Azumane-san.*
**[14:47] Kage**
* When it's best to set*
* the ball to Azumane-san...*
**[14:51] Kage**
*Right now...*
**[14:52] Kage**
*It should be this.*
**[14:55] Kara**
All right!
**[14:56] Enn**
*It's in! Thank goodness.*
**[14:58] Nishi**
Chikara!
**[14:58] Hana**
*He set to their #6, who's only gotten*
**[14:59] Tana**
Ennoshita, nice kill!
**[15:00] ---**
* a few hits in, despite this chance*
* coming in the last part of the game.*
**[15:03] Hana**
*That first-year setter's definitely gutsy.*
**[15:06] Kei**
Damn it! Not sure if
I should be happy or sad...
***SIGN*** Karasuno
**[15:11] Kiino**
Asahi-san, nice serve!
**[15:13] ---**
Give 'em a fierce one!
**[15:15] Shima**
Now's the time to get the lead!
**[15:20] Aki**
It's out!
**[15:23] Waku**
All right!
**[15:25] Naka**
Nice call!
**[15:26] Azu**
I'm sorry...
**[15:27] Nishi**
Next! One more!
***SIGN*** Karasuno Wakunan
**[15:31] Matsu**
*Don't look at the score...*
**[15:31] Matsu**
Matsushima, nice serve!
**[15:33] ---**
*Calm down. Stay calm.*
**[15:37] Matsu**
*Crap!*
**[15:38] Nishi**
It's out!
**[15:39] Suga**
Nice call!
**[15:43] Matsu**
I-I'm sorry...
**[15:43] Naka**
Right, let's change it up!
**[15:45] ---**
There's no problem if we get the next one!
**[15:47] Kawa**
Hey, Matsushima!
**[15:48] Kawa**
The next time you're up front,
**[15:50] ---**
if you get depressed again,
I'm going to make you buy me a popsicle.
**[15:54] Matsu**
Right.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Wakunan
**[15:55] Person**
Karasuno's at match point.
**[15:58] Person**
And here comes Karasuno's #10.
**[16:00] ---**
Wakunan's in trouble.
**[16:04] Aki**
Got it!
**[16:11] Waku**
All right!
**[16:11] Sae**
They targeted the spot Yu didn't cover?
**[16:14] Shima**
They're calm.
**[16:15] Matsu**
Kawatabi-san, nice serve!
**[16:16] Hana**
Tabi, get this one!
**[16:17] Kawa**
*So if we miss this, it's all over.*
**[16:20] Naka**
You'd look really cool if you hit
this one with everything you've got.
**[16:34] Enn**
It's up! Nishinoya, nice!
**[16:36] Hina**
*It's off! But a quick isn't impossible.*
**[16:36] Nishi**
Kageyama!
**[16:38] Kage**
Got it!
**[16:39] ---**
*Or should I let Tanaka-san have it?*
**[16:41] Hina**
*But we can go with a quick.*
**[16:47] Kage**
*It's a bit high?*
**[16:50] Kei**
*He panicked.*
**[16:51] Oni**
*Hang in there... Until the opponent breaks.*
**[16:55] Naka**
Chance ball!
**[16:55] Enn**
Hinata!
**[16:58] Enn**
Don't flail!
**[17:00] Enn**
A good jump...
**[17:03] Hina**
...starts from good footing!
**[17:06] Oni**
* I guess we really don't*
* have an advantage with*
**[17:09] ---**
*Karasuno's captain missing.*
**[17:11] Kage**
Watch the ball!
**[17:13] Hina**
Yeah.
**[17:23] Naka**
*It's too late!*
**[17:56] Enn**
All...
**[17:57] Karau**
...right!
**[17:57] Both**
All right!
***SIGN*** Show Your Tenacity
***SIGN*** Karasuno Wakunan
**[18:04] All**
Thank you very much!
**[18:10] Kage**
What?
**[18:13] Hina**
One-on-one, I couldn't beat their #1.
**[18:17] Hina**
He was more of a Little Giant than me.
**[18:20] Kage**
Of course. You've still got at least
100 years to go, you dumbass.
**[18:26] Suga**
Hey! What are you guys doing?
**[18:29] Naka**
Come on, line up!
***SIGN*** Show Your Tenacity
**[18:32] Naka**
Bow.
**[18:34] Naka**
Thank you very much.
**[18:45] Enn**
*Today was just our second match.*
**[18:47] ---**
*Our next opponent will be even stronger.*
**[18:49] Tana**
Daichi-san!
**[18:54] Sawa**
Uh, um...
**[18:58] ---**
I'm sorry.
**[19:01] Tana**
D-D-D...
**[19:03] Suga**
Daichi!
**[19:03] Nishi**
Daichi-san!
**[19:06] Tana**
D-Daichi-san! A-Are...
**[19:08] Sawa**
I'm fine.
**[19:09] ---**
No, seriously. I got some rest, and honestly,
**[19:12] ---**
I'm better than before the match.
**[19:14] Sawa**
I'll work twice as hard in the next match.
**[19:19] Sawa**
You guys must be exhausted
from playing a full set.
**[19:22] Sawa**
Come on, rest.
**[19:24] Hina**
Oh, our next opponent's playing right now.
**[19:29] Sawa**
I was watching from around
the time the score was 20.
**[19:34] Sawa**
At first, I wanted to get back
at soon as possible, but...
**[19:38] Sawa**
I saw you guys and thought you'd be okay.
**[19:43] Sawa**
I thought I'd actually destroy
your rhythm if I showed up.
**[19:47] Sawa**
That last one... Nice receive, Ennoshita.
**[19:53] Enn**
Right.
**[19:58] Enn**
Sorry, could you go on ahead?
**[20:04] Nari**
Doesn't Ennoshita seem a bit down? We won.
**[20:07] Kino**
Yeah.
**[20:12] Enn**
*Half of the spikes I hit were misses,*
**[20:15] ---**
* and I only got real*
* receives in the last half.*
**[20:19] Enn**
* I somehow feel this was the first time*
* I got to fight properly to the end.*
**[20:23] Enn**
And yet...
**[20:26] Enn**
Don't you dare relax now!
**[20:28] Enn**
You need to think that you're gonna defeat
**[20:30] ---**
the next opponent that
comes around, you idiot!
**[20:32] Enn**
You idiot, idiot, idiot!
**[20:40] Yachi**
That was amazing!
**[20:41] ---**
I was watching the last
bit with Sawamura-san.
**[20:43] Hina**
We're gonna win the next one, too!
**[20:48] Yachi**
Doesn't Yamaguchi-kun seem down?
**[20:53] Yama**
Sorry... I'm gonna go to the bathroom,
**[20:56] Yama**
so go on ahead.
**[21:00] Hina**
He's really pumped about
going to the bathroom.
**[21:02] Kage**
He must need to take a shit.
**[21:04] Hina**
Say "poop!" You're so vulgar, Kageyama-kun!
**[21:06] Tsuki**
I don't think he actually
went to the bathroom.
**[21:13] Kawa**
Hey, Takeru. It's meeting time.
**[21:17] Naka**
You know...
**[21:18] Kawa**
Huh?
**[21:19] Naka**
That last bit was in slow motion.
**[21:23] Naka**
I met eyes with their #10 at that moment,
**[21:25] ---**
and I could tell that he figured out
**[21:29] ---**
where I was aiming for the wipe.
**[21:33] Naka**
That was the first time
I was able to see that much.
**[21:36] Naka**
It gave me chills.
**[21:40] Naka**
Once more...
**[21:42] ---**
Let me do it once more.

**[22:05] Suga**
Hey, don't eat too much.
**[22:08] Sawa**
Now...
**[22:10] ---**
I wonder who our next opponent is.
**[23:47] Kei**
Lately, I've been conflicted as coach
because everyone's doing so well.
**[23:51] Azu**
And Nishinoya keeps scolding me, too.
**[23:54] Kei**
Want to join me?
**[23:54] Azu**
Uh, I'm a minor!
