[00:05] (Flashback) Kai
    Are you two here to check
    out the volleyball team?
[00:08] (Flashback) Kai
    I'm Kai Nobuyuki from Class
    1-5. Nice to meet you.
[00:12] (Flashback) Kuro
    Kuroo Tetsuro from Class 1-2.
[00:15] (Flashback) Yaku
    Yaku Morisuke from Class 1-3.
[00:17] (Flashback) Kuro
    Yeah, I know.
[00:20] (Flashback) Yaku
    Have we met before?
[00:22] (Flashback) Kuro
    In a tournament my first year of junior high,
     we got wrecked by your team.
[00:29] (Flashback) Yaku
    Oh, I see. Yeah, I don't
    remember that at all.
[00:32] (Flashback) Yaku
    By the way, stop looking down on me.
[00:38] (Flashback) Kai
    Have you decided to join yet?
[00:40] (Flashback) Kai
    If you have, I look forward to playing
    with you two the next three years.
[00:46] (Flashback) Kuro
    To celebrate, why don't we
    all go get something to eat?
[00:49] (Flashback) Kai
    Sounds great. What should we eat?
[00:51] (Flashback) Yaku
    Meat!
[00:51] (Flashback) Kuro
    Fish.
[00:54] (Flashback) Yaku
    Fish? What are you, a grandpa?
[00:56] (Flashback) Kuro
    Could you stop making comments proving
    that you lack docosahexaenoic acid?
[01:01] (Flashback) Yaku
    What? Speak Japanese.
[01:03] (Flashback) Kuro
    Eat some more fish and learn some things.
[01:07] (Flashback) Yaku
    Say, do you know that really cute girl
    with short hair in Class 1-5?
[01:11] (Flashback) Kai
    I'm not sure.
[01:12] (Flashback) Yaku
    She's really petite.
[01:13] (Flashback) Kai
    Do you like girls with short hair, Yaku?
[01:16] (Flashback) Yaku
    Yeah!
[01:17] (Flashback) Kai
    What about you, Kuroo?
[01:19] (Flashback) Kuro
    I prefer long.
[01:20] (Flashback) Kuro
    Mild.
[01:21] (Flashback) Yaku
    Hot.

    Our "usual"
[02:25] (Flashback) Lev
    isn't what it used to be.
[02:30] Lev
    Yaku-san, that dig was...
[02:34] Kuro
    Damn it...
[02:35] Shiba
    Wait...
[02:36] Shiba
    Did he step on someone's foot
    in the crowd when he landed?
[02:43] Yaku
    I'm really sorry!
[02:44] Crowd
    No, I'm totally fine.
[02:48] Yaku
    I'm fine!
[02:54] Neko
    Shibayama!
[02:58] Dai
    My, my... Looks like he
    chased it a bit too far.
[03:04] Yaku
    I'm sorry.
[03:06] Kuro
    We're always causing you trouble, Yakkun,
[03:09] Kuro
    so it wouldn't hurt for you to watch us
     win from the bench every now and then.
[03:15] Kai
    Don't worry. It's just a
    small break before nationals.
[03:23] Yaku
    I haven't gotten sick or gotten
    hurt in this past year.
[03:28] Yaku
    So why did this have to happen now...
[03:32] Yaku
    Why?!

    Yeah!
[04:38] Kai
    Yeah, you're right.
[04:42] Ken
    Hey, you're bringing down
     the mood too much.
[04:46] Kenma
    I think we'll be fine.
[04:50] Nekoma
    Kenma's not that interested in
    the actual outcome of the game.
[04:54] Nekoma
    That's why his words
    never convey anything false.
[04:57] Nekoma
    He just analyzes what's
    possible and what's not.
[05:00] Neko
    And he said we still have a chance.
[05:03] Neko
    That's more encouraging
    than any other pep talk.
[05:12] Kenma
    Shibayama.
[05:13] Shiba
    Yes?
[05:14] Kenma
    Just sub out with Lev when he's in the back.
[05:17] Kuro
    Yeah. Don't sub me out.
[05:21] Kuro
    When I rotate into the back, I'll stay in.
[05:25] Shiba
    Yes, sir!
[05:26] Shiba
    Right now, I don't have the right
    to always stay in the game.
[05:31] Shiba
    I'm the only one who can prove my worth!
[05:37] Kuro
    Yaku-paisen always loves
    to steal the spotlight.
[05:41] Kuro
    Let your old leader look cool sometimes.
[05:47] All
    Yeah!
[05:50] Dai
    They didn't waste any time benching him.
[05:52] Dai
    But at the same time, it doesn't
    change the fact that their defense
[05:55] ---
    has some holes in it now, since Yaku's out.
[05:57] Dai
    Go after the least skilled, the weak,
    and those who are easy to break!
[06:01] Dai
    This set is ours!
[06:03] All
    Yeah!
[06:13] Akane
    A jump floater!
[06:26] Lev
    Ow!

    Nice receive.

    I'm sure Yaku could've gotten
    that without diving for it.

    What the hell is this pressure?
[06:47] Saki
    Suguru!
[06:49] Daisho
    Their #11 might be a beast near the net,
    but once he's in the back...
[06:54] Daisho
    He's basically an amateur!
[06:55] Kuro
    Keep your eyes...
[06:57] Kuro
    on me!
[07:00] Akane
    He shut him out!
[07:02] Guy
    Hey, don't move!
[07:08] Kuro
    I understand why you'd want
    to aim for the rookie, but...
[07:17] Lev
    You're right, Kenma-san!
    I think we've got this!
[07:20] Kenma
    We're not clear yet.
[07:21] Lev
    Huh?
[07:21] Kenma
    I'm gonna need Kuro to do way more.

[07:35] (Flashback) Yaku
    Libero isn't just some position
    created so short guys can play.
[07:40] (Flashback) Yaku
    You need to prove that
     you're worthy of being a regular.
[07:43] (Flashback) Yaku
    Make them think you're worth being on
    the court, even if you can't attack.
[07:49] (Flashback) Yaku
    Isn't it an honor to play libero for Nekoma,
    who's known for their defense?

    Kuguri!
SIGN    Fair and Square
[08:39] Yaku
    His form is incredibly good. I had
    no idea which way he was going to hit.
[08:44] Numai
    Kuguri... He really is better than I am.
[08:47] Guy
    That's not true, Numa-san!
[08:49] Guy
    You just had to sit out this
    time because of your injury.
[08:51] Numa
    The coach likes guys that
    are really enthusiastic,
[08:54] Numa
    but it's hard to read Kuguri's emotions.
[08:56] Numa
    Now that's coming back to bite him.
[08:59] Numa
    But I'm pretty sure his technique
    is better than mine.
[09:03] Numa
    Come on! Tell me that's not true!
[09:05] Guy
    Uh...

    Nice shot!

    Sorry about that.

[10:20] Yama
    Free ball!
[10:38] Hiro
    Their #1 came up behind their #11!
[10:43] (Flashback) Kenma
    Kuro's really good at defense, even if
     he's not as good as Yaku-kun, and...
[10:48] (Flashback) Kenma
    I've never tried that up-tempo attack
     from the back row with Kuro,
[10:52] (Flashback) Kenma
    but I think we can pull it off.
[10:55] (Flashback) Kenma
    Sorry if I screw it up, though.
[10:58] Kenma
    Even if your defense isn't as good,
[11:01] Kenma
    I think it'd be a great surprise attack.

    I can't get a good read on him at all.

    us the best chance to score...

    Out!
[12:37] Both
    Yeah!
[12:40] Guy
    Wasn't that actually inside?
[12:42] Guy
    They're really good at this.
[12:43] Guy
    The moment they realized
    they couldn't get the ball,
[12:46] ---
    they blocked the ball from the ref's
    sight and the ref called it out.
[12:50] Guy
    Talk about conniving.
[12:52] Guy
    They act like Goody Two-Shoes to the refs.
[12:55] (Flashback) Guy
    Talk about cheap.
[12:58] (Flashback) Dai
    If they really want to win,
    why don't they actually try?
[13:04] Dai
    There's not a single guarantee in a game.
[13:07] Dai
    Everything we do is to help us
    take advantage of the flow.
[13:11] Dai
    Any provocation, compliment...

    Damn, that hurts...
[13:30] Numa
    But it's just pain.
[13:33] Numa
    Suguru says being called
    "cheaters" is a compliment,
[13:37] Numa
    but I hate it.
[13:39] Numa
    That's why...
[13:40] Numa
    I'm going to shut them up!

    We'll get the next one!
[15:53] Shiba
    That ball wasn't impossible to get.
    I have to watch more carefully!
[15:57] Shiba
    Focus!
[15:57] Lev
    Why is Shibayama apologizing?
[16:00] Lev
    I mean, other than messing up on a serve,
[16:03] Lev
    almost nothing that happens on the court
    is ever only one person's fault.
[16:11] Lev
    What the heck? I totally get it.
[16:16] Lev
    I thought this teamwork thing was some
    mental thing that was more complicated.
[16:19] Lev
    But the reason that we can't
    easily blame each other,
[16:24] Lev
    is because all of our plays
    are literally connected.
[16:29] (Flashback) Yaku
    Stop flailing your arms around!
[16:31] (Flashback) Yaku
    I can't dig the damn ball!
[16:32] (Flashback) Lev
    But you'll still get the ball,
     no matter what!
[16:37] (Flashback) Shiba
    I'll be right behind you!
[16:45] Lev
    That's right. You're you. Not Yaku-san.

    Go!

    Go, Kuguri!
[17:33] Kuguri
    My logic and instincts are saying
[17:35] Kuguri
    that if I hit it that way, I'll be killed.

    We...
[18:13] All
    We won!
[18:15] Both
    They did it!
SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi
[18:26] Both
    I knew it!
[18:27] Lev
    If he hit to my left,
    he'd run right into you!
[18:31] Shiba
    The ball would definitely come to me!
[18:33] Both
    We saw through it!
[18:36] (Flashback) Kuro
    I expect the moment when
    teamwork comes together
[18:39] (Flashback) Kuro
    feels way more satisfying than you think.
[18:50] Kuro
    Well?
[18:51] Kuro
    How did it feel to block the ball
    without trying to actually stop it?
[18:54] Lev
    Shibayama and I together
    are like one Yaku-san.
[18:59] Lev
    So I figured we needed to work together.
[19:02] Lev
    And then, during that rally...
[19:05] (Flashback) Shiba
    I'll be right behind you!
[19:09] Lev
    I realized what Shibayama was talking about.
[19:12] Lev
    But that wasn't all.
[19:14] Lev
    But the fact that I was able to control
    the spiker from the other side of the net
[19:18] ---
    without even touching him...
[19:21] Lev
    That felt awesome!
[19:26] All
    Thanks for the game!
[19:41] Kuguri
    Numai-san...
[19:42] Kuguri
    They totally led me into
    hitting that last shot.
[19:46] Kuguri
    I'm really sorry.
[19:47] Numai
    The fact that you were able to hit through
    their defense at all there was amazing.
[19:53] Numa
    And, Kuguri,
[19:55] Numa
    I'm somewhat relieved that you
    actually seem frustrated about this.
[20:04] Kuro
    For at least this game, even if some
    of it might've been dumb luck,
[20:08] ---
    I thought it'd be best to let Lev
    show off what he can really do.
[20:12] Kuro
    But that jerk far surpassed my expectations.
[20:16] Yaku
    I mean, if he sucks, just tell him he sucks.
[20:19] Yaku
    Like, to his face.
[20:20] Kai
    I mean, it's not easy to say,
     "You messed up your block. Fix it,"
[20:26] ---
    right after you missed a receive.
[20:27] Kuro
    Exactly. It's not like the rest of us are as
    confident with receiving as you are, Yakkun.
[20:32] Yaku
    Hm? Then get more confident.
[20:36] Kai
    You sure do say some complicated
    things like they're nothing.
[20:40] Mika
    Good job out there.
[20:42] Dai
    Mika-chan?!
[20:44] Mika
    S-Sorry I said that you were boring
    because you only care about your club.
[20:49] Mika
    Y-You looked really cool out there.
[20:56] Mika
    I think I finally sorta understand
[20:58] ---
    why you concentrate so much on your club now.
[21:03] Saki
    Lucky guys must pay!
