[00:22] Hinata
    What? Again?
[00:24] Azumane
    That's his fourth aced serve in a row.
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Omisaki
[00:28] Coach
    His power goes without saying,
    but that control is pretty nasty, too.
[00:33] Hinata
    But if they can do something
    about that serve...
[00:36] Suga
    It's true that his serves are scary,
[00:38] Suga
    but Oikawa, as a setter,
     is completely unknown to us.
[00:42] Bg
    One more! Nice serve!
[00:52] Person
    Sorry!
[00:53] Kinda
    Chance ball!
[00:54] Guy
    Got it!
[00:56] Oika
    Okay.
[00:58] Coach
    You know, setters...
[01:02] Coach
    are like orchestra conductors.
[01:06] Coach
    Even if you have the same
    song and same orchestra,
[01:09] Coach
    if the conductor is different,
[01:12] Coach
    the sound is different.

[02:55] Suga
    How do I put this...
    They've got a very smooth transition.
[03:00] Kage
    Oikawa-san and Iwaizumi-san,
    that #4 on the left.
[03:05] Kage
    Apparently those two have been on
    the same team since grade school.
[03:08] Kage
    They're linked, both mentally and physically.
[03:11] Coach
    I don't really think the second-year setter's
     level was lower in the practice match.
[03:18] Coach
    I mean, they're in Seijoh.
[03:20] Takeda
    Right.
[03:21] Coach
    I think it's just that
    Oikawa knows everything
[03:24] ---
    there is to know about Seijoh's team,
[03:25] Bg Cries
    Oikawa, one more!
[03:26] ---
    Nice serve!
[03:26] Coach
    and is helping them bring out their A-game.
[03:33] Hina
    The Great King is so awesome!
[03:36] Hina
    I want to hurry up and play him!
[03:37] Nishi
    Yeah! I hope he aims his serves at me!
[03:40] Nishi
    I totally want to get them!
[03:41] Hina
    Noya-san's awesome, too!
[03:43] Coach
    Well, isn't that promising...

    Hey, look, Shoyo!

    You two junior high—

SIGN    Aoba Johsai Omisaki
[04:31] Takeda
    It's so quiet.
[04:33] Shimizu
    Everyone's out cold.
[04:35] Coach
    Well, they did play two matches.
[04:37] Coach
    Plus they won both straight-set wins,
     so that's not bad.
[04:41] Coach
    If they keep winning starting tomorrow,
[04:42] Coach
    not only will they have two matches a day,
[04:44] Coach
    but their opponents
     will continue to get stronger.
[04:46] Coach
    We'll have to bolster
    their morale every time.
[04:48] Takeda
    Right.
[04:55] Takeda
    All right, we're going to have a meeting.

[05:45] Lady
    Will they be able to make it

    A player you should definitely watch out
    for is Aoba Johsai High School's

    team captain, Oikawa Toru-kun.
[06:07] Lady
    His dashing good looks draw in female fans,

    —who were expected to place
     in the tournament's top eight—
[06:24] Lady
    the powerhouse, Karasuno High School.

    We're gonna be on!
[06:32] Lady
    We asked him what he thought about
    his opponent, Karasuno High School,
[06:35] ---
    who he'll be facing in the third match.
SIGN    Q: What do you think of your opponents for the third match?
[06:38] Oikawa
    They're a great team.
[06:40] Oikawa
    I hope...
[06:42] Oikawa
    ...they go for broke.

    There'll definitely be more
    heated matches tomorrow.
[06:46] Lady
    We wish them the best.
[06:48] Lady
    Next is the weather.
[06:50] Lady
    We have Komata-san reporting
    from Sendai Station.
[06:53] Komata
    Hello, Komata here.
[06:53] Old
    Th-There was a glimpse of your
    match at the very beginning!
[06:57] Old
    You all looked very cool!
[06:59] Sawa
    Sensei, thank you.
[07:02] Old
    Oh, it was nothing...
[07:03] Sawa
    All right. Well, then...
[07:07] Sawa
    Let's do this.
[07:09] Old
    Do what?!
[07:10] Takeda
    A m-meeting!
[07:14] Coach
    Today's match against Date Tech
[07:17] Coach
    is what you call "the first sip of beer."
[07:21] Coach
    The deliciousness of the
    first sip of beer is special,
[07:24] Coach
    and you only
    get it in that first sip.
[07:26] Takeda
    Ukai-kun, we should phrase that
     differenty for the minors here.
[07:32] Coach
    Ahem.
[07:33] Coach
    Well, the match with Date Tech
     was the first time
[07:36] ---
    we used the freak quick against them.
[07:38] ---
    Therefore, we were able to
    catch out opponents off guard.
[07:42] Coach
    But we've fought Seijoh once in the past,
[07:45] ---
    so they know at least some of our tricks.
[07:48] Coach
    Still, I'm certain that your offense
    is stronger than theirs.
[07:54] Coach
    First, we need to endure Oikawa's serves.
[07:59] Coach
    His serves controlling the game's pace
[08:02] Coach
    is what we want the least,
[08:04] ---
    but that's most likely that will happen.
[08:06] Coach
    So, for right now, we have the basic
[08:09] ---
    "everyone who's not the setter goes after
    the ball" formation to receive serves.
SIGN    (Net)
     Hinata or Tsukishima
[08:14] Coach
    However, this time, we won't have the
    middle blocker, Hinata or Tsukishima,
[08:17] ---
    participate in receiving the serve.
[08:19] Coach
    They'll concentrate solely on attacking.
[08:21] Tsuki
    'Kay.
[08:22] Hinata
    Okay.
[08:23] Coach
    Hey, don't get so bummed out.
[08:25] ---
    We're just dividing up the work.
[08:27] Coach
    Oh, also, you guys saw Seijoh and thought,
    "Oh, crap. They're strong," right?
[08:35] Coach
    But...
[08:37] Coach
    If you were seeing our match against Date Tech
     from the stands, you'd hesitate, saying,
[08:43] ---
    "What's with that blocking?
    Talk about scary. We can't win," right?
[08:50] Coach
    But you fought them,
[08:51] Coach
    and you won.
[08:53] Coach
    Tomorrow will be the same.
[09:01] All
    All right!
[09:04] Coach
    All right. Let's clarify the formation a bit.
[09:07] All
    Right!
[09:10] Mori
    Ukai-san.
[09:12] Coach
    Oh, Mori.
[09:14] Mori
    This is today's match.
SIGN    Seijoh vs Omisaki
[09:16] Coach
    Sweet. Thanks.
[09:19] Coach
    Thanks.
[09:20] Coach
    This helps out a lot.
    The next round's on me.
[09:22] Mori
    All right! Yeah!
[09:24] Mori
    See ya.
[09:25] Takeda
    Is that the Aoba Johsai match?
[09:27] Coach
    Yeah.
[09:28] Coach
    Well, it's not like watching
    this will guarantee
SIGN    Seijoh vs Omisaki
[09:31] ---
    we'll be able to receive
    Oikawa's serves tomorrow.
[09:36] Coach
    But I'd feel pretty anxious
     if I wasn't doing anything.
[09:40] Takeda
    The next round's on me, Ukai-kun.
[09:42] Coach
    Seriously?!
[09:43] Coach
    All right. Make sure
    you're not late tomorrow.
[09:46] All
    Right!

    I think...

    The one line he always says before a match...

    When he says it,
    it almost sounds like a joke,

[20:08] Blonde
    Hey, is the Seijoh setter
    going to try a dump again?
[20:13] Blonde
    He's being even more obvious this time!
[20:16] Tanaka
    Don't underestimate me!
[20:22] Coach
    He went from a spike formation straight into
[20:24] Coach
    a set?

[20:30] Iwa
    Hey, that was a little low.
[20:32] Oikawa
    Really? Sorry about that.
[20:34] Oikawa
    But Iwa-chan,
[20:35] Oikawa
    you usually hit it regardless.
[20:37] Guy
    Wow...
[20:39] Guy
    That's slightly infuriating, but wow...
[20:42] Girl
    So cool!
[20:44] Girl
    Oikawa-senpai!
[20:47] Coach
    Well, he's an even more troublesome
    opponent than I thought...
[20:50] Takeda
    Indeed.
[20:52] Takeda
    It's true that we won the
    practice match the other day,
[20:55] Takeda
    but now that this team has
    their conductor to lead them,
[21:00] Takeda
    they're something else entirely.
[21:02] Tanaka
    Damn it...
[21:03] Sawa
    Hey, hey, hey...
[21:05] Sawa
    You knew that Oikawa was
    amazing to begin with.
[21:09] Sawa
    Our setter is just as skilled,
    and his attacks
[21:12] Sawa
    are just as flashy.
[21:14] Both
    Right!
[21:16] Iwa
    Matsukawa, one more nice serve!
[21:20] Sawa
    Nishinoya!
[21:20] Nishi
    Right!
[21:22] Hina
    Bring it!
[21:29] Iwa
    Number 5?!
[21:33] Glasses
    Or so they think...
[21:42] Iwa
    Pipe?!
[22:04] Guy
    H...
[22:06] Guy
    He got them back with a dump!
[22:09] Tsuki
    He sure hates losing, doesn't he?
[22:11] Suga
    Do it again!
[22:15] Kage
    I'll...
[22:17] Kage
    ...be doing the same thing again.
    Pay attention!
[22:22] Oikawa
    You...
[22:25] Oikawa
    ...stupid little brat.

[23:58] Oikawa
    You're really not cute at all, Tobio.
[24:01] Iwaa
    It's not very different than
    the first dump you did on them.
[24:04] Oikawa
    But everyone's got my back... V!
[24:06] Iwa
    You are so infuriating.
