[00:15] Dai
    Nishinoya!
[00:21] Atsu
    All right!
[00:24] Guy
    I knew it...
[00:25] Guy
    Yeah...
[00:27] Guy
    Miya Atsumu
[00:29] Guy
    has been targeting Nishinoya
    ever since the second set.
[00:33] Dai
    It looks like all the servers are
    deliberately trying to avoid Nishinoya.
[00:38] Dai
    This is probably Nishinoya's first time...
[00:43] Dai
    He's going through the
    humiliation of being targeted.

[02:18] Nishi
    Chikara.
[02:19] Nishi
    Could you tape me up? I suck at it.
[02:22] Chika
    Sure.
[02:24] Ryu
    Did you sprain your finger? Are you okay?
[02:26] Nishi
    Yeah, I'm fine.
[02:29] Mika
    Inarizaki #7's serve is intense.
[02:33] Guy
    Yeah. And he's going after the libero,
     who can only defend.
[02:37] Mika
    Oh?
[02:38] Guy
    That libero's really good
    and full of energy.
[02:40] Guy
    If they crush him, that team's in trouble.
[02:43] Mika
    Really?
[02:44] Guy
    "There's no way we can pick up balls
    that even our libero can't get..."
[02:50] Guy
    That's probably what Miya Atsumu is thinking,
     so he's putting pressure on them that way.
[02:56] Atsu
    It always feels great when you get a
    service ace against a strong opponent.
[03:03] Suna
    There he goes.
[03:05] Guy
    What?
[03:05] Suna
    Atsumu is amazingly,
    incredibly thoughtless at times.
[03:10] Atsumu
    Huh?! That's so rude!
[03:13] Nishi
    All right!
[03:16] Yachi
    You've got this, Nishinoya-san...
[03:30] Crowd
    Nice serve!
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
SIGN    Inarizaki High School
[03:39] Sawa
    Four steps...
[03:41] Sawa
    So it's going to be a jump floater.
[03:58] Ann
    Miya Atsumu...
[04:00] Ann
    manages to get two service
    aces against their libero!
[04:00] Crowd
    Nice serve, Atsumu! Nice serve,
    Atsumu! Push it, push it, Atsumu!
[04:04] Crowd
    One more time!
[04:14] Haiba
    It totally looked like he got that.
[04:17] Guy
    Its path seemed to change
    right by his hands.
[04:20] Guy
    When you're digging the ball, the surface
    that the ball can hit is narrow.
[04:23] Guy
    If the point where it hits is just a
    bit off, the ball goes a weird way.
[04:27] Haiba
    Yeah, totally!
[04:29] Shima
    Nishinoya missing two serve
    receives in a row is just...
[04:33] ---
    I've never seen him do that.
[04:36] Guy
    Volleyball isn't a sport where you
    can finish things off on your own.
[04:40] Guy
    If you can't get the first receive up,
     nothing's gonna start.
[04:46] Guy
    That's why the emotional damage from
    missing a serve receive is huge.
[04:52] Guy
    Not to mention, if the libero,
    who's in charge of defense, can't defend,
[04:56] Guy
    there's no point in him being on the court.
[05:03] Azu
    I can't count how many times
    Nishinoya's cheered me up.
[05:07] (Flashback) Nishi
    Because you have me guarding your backs.
[05:12] Azu
    What am I supposed to say to him?
[05:15] Ryu
    Noya-san—Whoa!
[05:20] Guy
    The hell?
[05:20] Guy
    What's he doing?
[05:23] Kino
    The penalty finger push-ups from practice...
[05:26] Kino
    Nishinoya's doing his best
    to stay calm right now.
[05:41] Atsumu
    That guy's the best.
[05:56] Shima
    Yes!
[05:57] Taki
    Follow up!
[05:59] Sawa
    Cover!
[06:01] Nishi
    That was a weak receive!
[06:03] Tana
    Asahi-san!
[06:08] Azu
    I'm not gonna be able to
    hit it that hard.
[06:13] Ann
    He went for the setter!
[06:14] Ann
    The first to touch the ball is Miya Atsumu!
[06:16] Ann
    At the same time, Miya Osamu
     is right under the ball!
[06:22] Guy
    He's not even a setter and he pulled
    off a C-pass?! On a counter, too!
[06:27] Suga
    He's covering for his twin.
[06:30] Tsuki
    That's within expectations.
[06:36] Haiba
    Got him.
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
[06:44] Ann
    The one who just got the ball up wasn't
    the setter. It was Miya Osamu!
[06:47] Osamu
    Nice kill.
[06:48] Suna
    Nice toss.
[06:49] Haiba
    What was that just now?
[06:52] Haiba
    He totally had that block.
[06:54] Suna
    Don't worry.
[06:56] Suna
    You're a great blocker.
[07:03] Tsuki
    Jackass.
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[07:07] Guy
    They got another one.
[07:10] Guy
    What's up with Suna-kun? He wasn't
    standing out much on offense at first,
[07:14] Guy
    but is he getting into his groove?
[07:15] Guy
    Rintaro starts off slow.
[07:19] Guy
    And I'll have you know...
[07:21] Guy
    He knows how to control
    the opposing team's blockers.
[07:25] Guy
    Rintaro's weapon is his wide
    contact point from side to side.
[07:30] Guy
    If a normal guy's range is about this much,
[07:34] Guy
    Rintaro's range is about this much.
[07:36] Guy
    When he spikes, he doesn't just
    use his arm or his shoulder.
[07:40] Guy
    He uses his whole upper body.
[07:42] Guy
    His core.
[07:44] Guy
    Since he uses his whole upper body,
     his spikes stay powerful.
[07:48] Guy
    It's completely different from
    just lightly tapping on the ball.
[07:53] Guy
    I don't really get it... But basically,
    when he's about to get blocked,
[07:58] Guy
    he somehow gets through the block.
    It's happened a few times.
[08:03] Guy
    Oh, and what about him
    controlling the blockers?
[08:07] Guy
    Just watch.
[08:24] Nishi
    Out!
[08:28] Nishi
    Damn it!
[08:30] Dai
    All right! Asahi, get a nice serve in!
[08:31] Atsu
    Why are you all sad that I messed up?
[08:34] Crowd
    Fire it up, fire it up, Karasuno!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[08:36] Crowd
    Get it, get it, Karasuno!
[08:38] Crowd
    Fire it up, fire it up, Karasuno!
[08:40] Crowd
    Get it, get it, Karasuno!
[08:45] Atsu
    Aran!
[08:50] Azu
    Yes!
[08:51] Ann
    That was a powerful service ace!
[08:52] Aran
    Sorry.
[08:53] Guy
    Worry about next time.
[08:54] Ann
    Karasuno hasn't been doing their best
    with serves in the second set,
[08:57] Ann
    so hopefully they can
    turn things around here.
[09:03] Atsumu
    Aran!
[09:15] Haiba
    Go! Block that ball, Tsukki!
[09:20] Haiba
    Two blockers!
[09:23] Suna
    Well done.
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
[09:34] Cheer
    Nice kill, Rintaro! Yes, yes,
    Rintaro! One more time!
[09:41] Atsumu
    The better the blockers are,
[09:44] Atsumu
    the easier it is for Suna
    to control them.
SIGN    Haikyu!!
SIGN    Haikyu!!
[10:14] Guy
    Well, did you see that?
[10:16] Guy
    Huh? Wha?
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[10:22] Kenma
    Did you figure it out?
[10:24] Kuro
    Their #10 looked totally ready
     to hit a cross shot.
[10:28] Kuro
    Tsukki immediately reacted to
    that and tried to block him off,
[10:32] Kuro
    and Kageyama also immediately
    jumped in to support him.
[10:35] Kuro
    But...
[10:37] Kuro
    His approach and the way his
    body's facing are both feints.
[10:39] Kuro
    He lures the blockers into thinking
    he's going to do a cross shot,
[10:41] Kuro
    then does the opposite midair.
[10:44] Kuro
    And he does all this without
    losing any power to his spikes.
[10:48] Guy
    Middle blockers' quicks usually end
    up more compact than other attacks.
[10:53] Guy
    They're usually quick enough
    to get through the blockers.
[10:56] Guy
    But...
[10:57] ---
    Rintaro can use his quick to go head to head
[11:01] ---
    against the blockers once the toss goes up.
[11:04] Kuro
    Man,
[11:07] ---
    nationals are scary.
[11:10] Dai
    We just need to get them off their
    game so they can't use their quicks!
[11:14] Dai
    We need to go all out with our
    serves and spikes!
[11:16] All
    Yeah!
[11:22] Dai
    Nishinoya!
[11:24] Dai
    Nice receive!
[11:25] Ann
    Another powerful serve!
[11:27] Ann
    The fact that he managed to
    get it up is amazing, too.
[11:30] Suna
    One touch! Cover!
[11:33] Atsumu
    Left!
[11:35] Suna
    Three blockers!
[11:39] Ann
    That was an intense spike from Ojiro Aran!
[11:42] Ann
    The ball is right above the net!
[11:45] Atsumu
    Akagi!
[11:45] Ann
    Kageyama pushes it in!
[11:46] Osamu
    Left!
[11:48] Ann
    Here comes Ojiro Aran from the left again!
[11:50] All
    Stop him!
[11:52] Tana
    No slacking!
[11:55] Atsumu
    Three blockers!
[12:03] Ann
    That spike got past the three
    blockers and packed a punch!
[12:05] Ann
    It might've gone above the block.
     That was high!
[12:08] Ann
    But now, Karasuno has a chance
    to fight back, and—
[12:16] Aran
    Yeah!
[12:17] Ann
    Ojiro Aran slams it into their court!
[12:20] Ann
    He managed to get three spikes over
     in a less-than-ideal situation.
[12:24] Ann
    He truly tore through for that point!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[12:28] Cheer
    Nice kill, Aran! Jump,
    jump, Aran! One more time!
[12:34] Kei
    Not yet, Sensei.
[12:35] Kei
    That was clearly our mistake.
    Our boys know that.
[12:39] Kei
    More importantly, we don't want to let Ojiro
    Aran rest for even 30 seconds right now.
[12:44] Saeko
    Yeesh. Their #4 reminds me of Ushiwaka.
[12:48] Shima
    What makes him different from Ushiwaka
    is that he's actually receiving serves.
[12:52] Shima
    Meaning they can aim their serves at him,
[12:55] Shima
    and they've actually gotten quite
    a few service aces against him.
[12:59] Shima
    That's definitely a stressor.
[13:02] Shima
    And there are plenty of
    difficult tosses going up,
[13:06] ---
    followed by a bunch of solid blocks.
[13:09] Shima
    His exhaustion and irritation are
    definitely brewing, as they should be.
[13:13] Shima
    Or so I think!
[13:19] Azumane
    Sorry, follow!
[13:21] Kage
    Tanaka-san!
[13:25] Tana
    Yeah!
[13:27] Saeko
    Ryu, you're so badass!
SIGN    Fly
[13:29] Ann
    Tanaka Ryunosuke from Karasuno High School!
[13:31] Suga
    Good job, Tanaka!
[13:32] Ann
    He's breaking through Inarizaki's
    obvious advantage with that one.
[13:33] Hina
    Tanaka-san, nice kill!
[13:34] Yama
    Yes!
[13:36] Ann
    And now, Karasuno High School is going
    to bring in the third-year Sugawara.
[13:40] Suga
    I'll get revenge for Nishinoya.
[13:43] Nishi
    I'm not dead!
[13:45] Enn
    Sugawara-san's going in
    to replace Tsukishima.
[13:48] Enn
    Which probably means that
    Kinoshita won't be serving.
[14:00] Kino
    That was my 25th service
    ace in my visual training.
[14:05] Suga
    Hey!
[14:07] Suga
    We took the first set,
[14:09] ---
    but you guys aren't actually thinking that we
    can let them have the second set, are you?
[14:13] Suga
    We're winning this thing at 2-0!
[14:15] All
    Yeah!
SIGN    Jaybird Inn
[14:25] (Flashback) Kei
    I want you to put pressure on
    Ojiro Aran as much as possible.
[14:29] (Flashback) Kei
    With blocks, and of course, serves.
[14:31] (Flashback) Kei
    I definitely won't complain if
    you get service aces off of him,
[14:35] Kei
    but the ideal is to get
    him to fall to one knee.
[14:39] Suga
    Even if I'm only on the
    court for twenty, ten...
[14:44] ---
    Even five seconds...
[14:46] Suga
    I'm going to annoy the hell out of Inarizaki!
[14:49] Some
    Front! Front!
[14:51] Ann
    That was a rather risky shot
     for Karasuno's Sugawara!
[14:55] Some
    Osamu!
[15:05] Suga
    Kageyama, get the last!
[15:09] Aran
    Left!
[15:10] Atsumu
    Yeah, yeah.
[15:13] Atsumu
    It's a bit low...
[15:26] Cheer
    Nice kill, Aran! Nice kill, Aran!
    Jump, jump, Aran! One more time!
[15:28] Guy
    Aran, calm down!
[15:30] Aran
    Right!
[15:33] Ann
    This time Inarizaki is
    using their pinch server.
[15:36] Ann
    The first-year, Riseki Heisuke.
[15:39] Riseki
    I spent all three years of
    middle school on the bench.
[15:43] Riseki
    The one time I came on as a pinch server,
    I messed up my serve and that was it.
[15:47] Cheer
    Nice serve!
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
[15:51] Riseki
    There's no point if I miss.
[15:53] Riseki
    I need to get that point.
[15:56] Riseki
    I'm getting it in there.
[15:58] Ann
    Well, Riseki definitely got
    the ball into the court.
[16:02] Dai
    Asahi!
[16:03] Asa
    Got it!
[16:09] Hina
    Heck yeah!
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
[16:17] Crowd
    What the hell was that serve?!
[16:19] Crowd
    Why are you even here?!
[16:20] Crowd
    No one asked you to just give them the ball!
[16:21] Suna
    Wow, I haven't heard this in a while.
[16:24] Crowd A
    What is this?
[16:25] Crowd B
    Booing? They're booing their own side?
[16:27] Crowd C
    But he didn't miss the serve, did he?
[16:29] Mika
    What is this?
[16:31] Guy
    Inarizaki's harsh critiques.
[16:34] Guy
    I heard that if you make a weak play,
    their cheer squad gives you an earful.
[16:39] Guy
    You're probably hearing it now.
[16:41] Mika
    Aw, that's really mean,
    considering he's not even a pro.
[16:47] Aka
    This is why I told you to take that chance.
[16:51] Guy
    You always think too hard about this.
[16:54] Kita
    We don't need a guy who just
    gets the serve over on our team.
[17:00] Kita
    Whether we're in the lead or not.
[17:05] Riseki
    Right.
SIGN    Fly
[17:35] Ann
    A no-touch ace!
[17:37] Ann
    That speed! That direction!
[17:38] Guy
    Sorry!
[17:39] Aka
    Get over it! Don't worry about it!
[17:41] Ann
    No one was gonna be able to touch that one.
[17:44] Hina
    That's...
[17:45] Hina
    Kalm Kageyama.
[17:46] Ryu
    The hell are you talking about?
[17:48] Hina
    I think it's pretty self-explanatory,
    but it's a calm Kageyama.
[17:54] Hina
    Like when I'm able to do quicks
    without closing my eyes,
[18:00] Hina
    or when he got Tsukishima's point
    of impact higher. Times like that.
[18:05] Hina
    It's basically when he's
    in the most tip-top shape.
[18:08] Hina
    But it's only his face that's calm.
[18:11] Hina
    He's still as harsh as ever,
    so you need to proceed with caution.
[18:14] Hina
    This tends to happen a lot
    when facing a powerful foe.
[18:18] Ryu
    At some point, you turned
    into an instruction manual.
[18:23] Kage
    The air is really prickly.
[18:28] Ann
    Inarizaki High is calling
    their first timeout.
[18:30] Crowd
    Let's go, Ina High!
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
[18:31] Ann
    But wow, both sides have
    some really powerful serves.
SIGN    Fly
[18:34] Ann
    Both schools have a variety of
    attacks that are very powerful.
[18:37] Ann
    If they don't get aggressive with their
    serves and stop the other team's quicks,
[18:38] Coach
    Just keep pressing the attack like you
    have been. Don't falter on receiving, either.
[18:41] Ann
    the other side will definitely get a point.
[18:42] Kei
    I'm sure you're all tired
    about now, but so are they.
[18:45] Kei
    We've got the game in our court right now.
[18:46] Ann
    Will Kageyama's serves turn the
    tables around for Karasuno?
[18:49] Kei
    Make sure you concentrate.
[18:51] All
    Right!
[19:05] Kage
    Yes!
[19:06] Ann
    He got another one in!
[19:06] All
    All right!
[19:08] Ann
    That timeout sure didn't
    kill his concentration!
SIGN    Miya Osamu Miya Atsumu
[19:10] Guy
    Seriously?
[19:17] Both
    One more time!
[19:20] Atsumu
    Gin!
[19:22] Aka
    Aran!
[19:25] Kei
    Even if we can't totally
    break them down mentally,
[19:28] Kei
    just the slightest annoyance...
[19:31] Kei
    If they hit aggressive spikes
    toward us even a little...
[19:34] Dai
    Left, left!
[19:35] Atsumu
    Three blockers!
[19:50] Kei
    That'll give us a huge
    chance for a turnaround.
[19:54] Both
    Yes, yes, yes, yes!
[19:56] Shima
    Here it comes!
[19:58] Mika
    Oh, hey. Is that...
[20:00] Guy
    Yeah...
[20:02] Guy
    That was an annoying out.
[20:05] Crowd
    Fire it up, fire it up, Karasuno!
SIGN    Fly
[20:12] Aka
    Damn it!
[20:13] Ann
    And the ball is sailing right
    back over to Karasuno's side.
[20:21] Both
    Too damn fast!
[20:24] Atsu
    Don't go getting a big head, now.
[20:28] Atsu
    Samu!
[20:32] Aran
    Yeah!
[20:34] Ann
    Ojiro Aran definitely got that one over.
[20:35] Crowd
    Nice, nice, Aran! One more time!
[20:36] Ann
    He's making his presence known as the ace!
[20:39] Ann
    Atsumu-kun's dig was amazing.
[20:43] Ann
    But Kageyama Tobio and Miya Atsumu are
    candidates for the national youth team
[20:47] Ann
    and excellent setters.
[20:49] Ann
    You can see the sparks fly
    even when they're not setting.
[20:53] Atsumu
    Osamu! Put the finisher on
    this second set already!
[20:56] Atsu
    Also, I definitely got way more
    service aces than you today!
[20:59] Osamu
    Would you shut up?
[21:06] Osamu
    Shit.
SIGN    Inarizaki
[21:12] Ann
    That was a little too powerful
    and definitely went out.
[21:16] Guy
    It took flight!
[21:18] Atsumu
    You don't need to hit a home run here!
[21:20] Osamu
    You do that too, sometimes!
[21:23] Aran
    It's because you provoked him.
[21:25] Atsumu
    Ow!
[21:26] Guy
    Osamu-kun looks pretty calm, but hates losing.
[21:30] Suna
    Well, think about who his other half is.
[21:36] Kenma
    Even the slightest wavering
    of their mental strength...
[21:38] Kenma
    will throw them off their
    usual plays just a bit...
[21:42] Gin
