[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.

[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?! SIGN    Fair and Square [03:36] Nohebi     Go, go, go, go, go, go, go, Nohebi! [03:39] Bg     Push it, push it, push it, push it,     push it, push it, push it, Nekoma!

[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! [06:27] Kai     Nice receive. [06:28] Kuro     I'm sure Yaku could've gotten     that without diving for it. SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [06:37] Guy     Free ball! [06:39] Lev     What?! [06:42] Saki     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. SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [07:27] Guy     One more point! [07:29] Some     Nice serve! SIGN    Fair and Square     Nohebi Academy Volleyball Team [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? [08:13] Both     All right! SIGN    Connect [08:19] Cheers     One more point! SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [08:21] Alisa     Now, they're, um... a deuce? [08:23] Akane     Yup. We'll show how persistent we are! [08:29] Saki     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... [09:09] Kuro     Nice shot! SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [09:11] Numa     Damn it... [09:12] Numa     We're not gonna end here! [09:16] Numa     Grab our ticket to nationals,     no matter what it takes! [09:30] Guy     Kuguri!

[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.

[11:41] Lev     A cross shot! [11:43] Lev     Damn it! [11:45] Kenma     We probably won't be able to win against     their #12 just by trying to read them. SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [11:48] Kenma     I can't get a good read on him at all. [11:50] Guy     Hey, a pinch server. [11:52] Guy     Isn't that the guy who dislocated     his thumb the last match? [11:54] Guy     Numa! [11:55] Guy     Go, Numai! [11:57] Alisa     Th-The crowd's getting really excited. [11:59] Akane     I think he's Nohebi's ace. [12:02] Akane     Please... Cut him off after one. [12:15] Kai     Fukunaga! [12:21] Aka     I can't reach it! [12:22] Aka     Even if I could, I wouldn't     be able to return it. [12:25] Aka     We have to make a choice that gives     us the best chance to score... [12:30] Both     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... [13:14] ---     Give it your all!

[13:26] All     Right! [13:27] Numa     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! SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [13:48] Guy     Nohebi took the lead! [13:50] Numa     We're not finished yet! [13:53] All     Yeah! [13:55] Kuro     Let's cut them off! [13:56] Dai     One more!

[15:16] Guy     Let's win this set while they can't do      that annoying back row attack! [15:19] Lev     Shut up... [15:23] Lev     I'm still here! SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [15:25] Akane     Match point! [15:30] Saki     Kuguri! [15:31] Lev     I'm gonna stop them! [15:37] Crowd     Nice kill! Nice kill! [15:38] Numa     Damn, he's good!

[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. [16:53] Yama     Got it! [16:58] Yama     Hell yeah! SIGN    Nekoma Nohebi [17:02] Alisa     Just one more point... [17:09] Saki     Kuguri! [17:12] Lev     Deflected! [17:16] Lev     Fukunaga-san! [17:19] Both     Go! [17:23] Numa     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. [18:11] Inu     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!
