[02:05] Nishi
Yeah.

Next, next!

Nice serve, Taichi!

Got it!
[02:28] Tsuki

[02:32] Tana
Sorry!
[02:33] Azu
My bad.
[02:34] Sawa
Don't mind!
[02:34] Kage
Are they nervous after all?
[02:36] ---
Their movements are stiff...
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[02:40] Sawa
Damn it.
[02:42] Sawa
We need to hurry up and regroup
or it'll be too late...
[02:43] Suga
Calm down!
[02:46] Sug
There's no time to self-destruct!
[02:48] Hina
U-Um...
[02:48] Sug
What the hell are you so
nervous about?! The TV crews?
[02:51] Sug
Quit messing around!
[02:55] Sawa
Got it! We got it, Suga, so calm down!
[02:58] Ryu
Suga-san's scary...
[02:58] Sawa
I'm so sorry!
[03:00] Take
Someone gets far more agitated than the players
and it helps calm them down...
[03:05] Kei
I don't care what the circumstance is.
[03:07] Kei
I just need them to score once
and build momentum.
[03:10] Suga
Crap... He totally glared at me...
[03:17] Leon
Nice serve! One more!
[03:19] Sawa
Got it!
[03:21] Shima
Yes! It went up nicely!
[03:23] Taki
Go!
[03:26] Leon
Nice receive!
[03:29] Leon
Wakatoshi!
[03:33] Crowd
All right!
[03:37] Yama
Don't mind! Next, next!
[03:38] Crowd
Ushijima!
[03:41] Crowd
Ushijima! Ushijima!
[03:42] Nishi
Give me three.
[03:46] Nishi
I promise I'll get used to it.
[03:52] Sae
Huh? I thought something was weird!
[03:56] Ushi
One more!
[03:56] Sae
Their #1 is left-handed?
[03:58] Sae
So that's why he approaches from the right.
[04:00] Sae
Ryu always goes in from the left.
[04:03] Taki
Yeah.
[04:04] ---
Man... talk about a chosen ace.
SIGN Opposite
SIGN Setter
[04:09] Taki
Ushiwaka's position is called “opposite,”
[04:12] Taki
and they're diagonal from the setter.
[04:15] Taki
On Karasuno's side, it's where Sawamura is.
[04:18] Taki
Depending on how the player
in that position plays,
[04:20] Taki
the way the whole team plays changes.
[04:23] Taki
One pattern is to have a
player like Sawamura there,
[04:23] Sawa
Got it!
[04:25] Sawa
All right!
[04:26] Tana
Nice, Daichi-san!
[04:26] Taki
who's a player that's skilled
all-around, and good at defense.
[04:27] Tana
Left!
[04:29] Taki
That's pretty common on high school teams.
[04:31] Taki
The other pattern is to have
a cannon like Ushiwaka there.
[04:33] Leon
Nice receive!
[04:36] Taki
They don't serve or receive,
[04:38] ---
and are always prepared to attack,
[04:40] Taki
from either the front or back line.
[04:43] Aki
A while back,
[04:44] ---
they were called super aces.
[04:50] Guy
Nice kill, Ushijima!
[04:54] Crowd
Ushijima! Ushijima!
[04:56] Sae
I get that Ushiwaka guy is
super tall and super strong,
[05:00] Sae
but does the fact that he's
left-handed make him that—
[05:03] Tana
Bring it!
[05:07] All
All right!
[05:07] All
All right!
[05:10] All
All right!
[05:11] Suga
Tanaka, nice kill!
[05:12] Crowd
Go, go, Karasuno! Push it, push it, Karasuno!
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[05:17] Crowd
Go, go, Karasuno! Push it, push it, Karasuno!
[05:19] Yachi
We finally got a point in...
[05:21] Sae
Way to go, Ryu!
[05:23] Sae
So, what's so special about the lefty?
[05:27] Shim
Since they go up against people who
are right-handed way more often,
[05:31] Shim
playing against someone who's
left-handed is unbelievably difficult.
[05:35] Taki
For example, when a single blocker goes up,
[05:39] Taki
they jump up facing their
opponent's dominant hand.
[05:41] Taki
Which means they're about
a shoulder's width away.
[05:45] Taki
So unless the attack is a very simple one,
[05:46] Tana
Asahi-san, nice serve!
[05:48] Taki
the showdown is over in a moment.
[05:50] Taki
If they jump up in a way
their body is used to...
[05:54] Tsuki
Time difference...
[05:58] Taki
...they'll end up missing, no matter what.
[06:00] Crowd
Nice kill, Ushijima!
[06:00] Old
What the hell are they doing?
[06:02] ---
Karasuno's blocks are full of holes!
[06:05] Crowd
Ushijima! Ushijima!
[06:05] Shim
It's not just the fact that he's
left-handed that makes him strong.
[06:08] Shim
Not only is he left-handed,
but his strength is also top-tier.
[06:09] Tend
Wakatoshi-kun, nice kill!
I see you're as sharp as ever.
[06:12] Ushi
Yeah.
[06:13] Shim
That's what Ushiwaka is.
[06:15] Take
So they already scored four straight
points because of Ushijima-kun.
[06:19] Kei
Yeah.
[06:20] Kei
Their setter seems to have solid hands,
[06:21] Sawa
Rotate! Rotate!
[06:22] All
Right!
[06:22] Kei
and I'm sure he'd like to
get some in from the get-go.

[06:32] Sae
Huh? What's that buzzer for?
[06:33] Yachi
Oh, this is a technical time out.
[06:34] Crowd
Shiratorizawa!
[06:36] Sae
What's that?
[06:37] Crowd
Shiratorizawa!
[06:37] Yachi
It's a time-out that only
happens during five-set matches,
[06:40] Yachi
when one of the teams
hits 8 or 16 points...
[06:41] Crowd
Shiratorizawa!
[06:44] Yachi
Apparently.
[06:44] Crowd
Shiratorizawa!
[06:46] Sae
Huh...
[06:48] Kei
Blocking all comes down to timing!
[06:48] Crowd
Shiratorizawa!
[06:51] Kei
If they get through the top, it'll be
difficult to prepare to receive, as well.
[06:51] Crowd
Shiratorizawa!
[06:54] Kei
You need to touch the ball,
even if you can't stop it!
[06:55] Crowd
Shiratorizawa!
[06:56] Kei
Make Ushijima feel that there's a wall.
[06:58] Crowd

[06:59] All

[07:14] Guy
Wow...
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[07:15] Guy
Ushijima!
[07:16] Guy
Ushiwaka's unstoppable.
[07:18] Crowd
Ushijima! Ushijima!
[07:19] Yama
Don't mind! Get the next one!
[07:21] Kei
That's it! Just keep that up!
[07:24] Kei
Keep letting him know that
there's a wall there.
[07:26] Kei
Then a path will open up!
[07:30] (Flashback) Nishi
Shiratorizawa has Ushiwaka.
[07:33] (Flashback) Nishi
Then...
[07:34] (Flashback) Nishi
Karasuno has me.
[07:39] (Flashback) Kei
Right.
[07:41] (Flashback) Kei
Stopping all of Ushijima's attacks,
[07:43] (Flashback) Kei
or even picking them all up, is impossible.
[07:47] (Flashback) Kei
But...
SIGN Ushijima Block Nishinoya
[07:48] (Flashback) Kei
All you've got to do is make those
impossible spikes possible.
[07:52] (Flashback) Hina
Hm?
[07:54] (Flashback) Kei
Total defense.
SIGN Ushijima
SIGN Block
SIGN Nishinoya
[07:56] (Flashback) Kei
Ushijima's really good at angle shots,
as we've seen in past games,
[08:00] (Flashback) Kei
so we're going to tighten up
our block on those,
[08:02] (Flashback) Kei
and place Nishinoya where the now
opened straight path would be.
[08:06] (Flashback) Kei
We're going to set it up so
he's hitting to our libero.
[08:13] Kei
Nice timing!
SIGN Be Courageous Warriors
[08:23] Crowd
Nice kill, Ushijima!
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[08:27] Crowd
Ushijima! Ushijima!
[08:33] Sae
If Yu can't pick those up,
he's going to be impossible to handle.
[08:37] Aki
I think it's because of the spin.
[08:40] Sae
Hm?
[08:41] Aki
Spiking left-handed means
[08:43] ---
the ball will spin differently
than spiking right-handed.
[08:48] Aki
Volleyball is a sport where
you can't hold the ball,
[08:51] Aki
and the space to capture
it is extremely narrow.
[08:54] Aki
So the moment you capture the ball,
[08:56] Aki
if the way it hits your hands
is even a tiny bit off,
[08:59] Aki
it causes a huge deviation.
[09:08] Yama
Chance ball!
[09:10] Tana
Damn it! I'm sorry!
[09:15] Tsuki
Our timing was too fast...
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[09:27] Crowd
Nice kill, Ushijima!
[09:27] Tsuki
It may be called total defense,
[09:29] Tsuki
but even just getting our
timing down isn't easy.
[09:31] Crowd
Ushijima! Ushijima!
[09:33] Enn
Concentrate on number one!
[09:36] Yama
Do you think you'll be able
to stop Ushiwaka's spikes?
[09:42] (Flashback) Tsuki
There's no way that I can beat Ushiwaka.
[09:50] Kawa
All right!
[09:51] Tsuki
I've been focusing too much on Ushiwaka.
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[09:55] Crowd
Kawanishi! Kawanishi!
[09:55] Old
Is that kid with the glasses even trying?
[09:58] Old
He needs to show some more
of that fighting spirit!
[10:00] Old
Fighting spirit!
[10:01] Shim
They're sneaking in some quicks really well.
[10:05] Sae
They've gotta hurry and do something
about the left-handed guy.
[10:08] Yach
I guess there's not much they can
do about how much they're used
[10:11] ---
to right-handed shots.
[10:17] All
All right!
[10:17] Kawa
Sorry!
[10:19] Leon
Don't mind.
[10:19] Aki
At the very least,
[10:20] Aki
he's the exact opposite
from the kind of player
[10:22] ---
that moves based on sensations.
[10:25] Tna
Nice serve!
[10:26] Aki
He doesn't believe in his own strength.
[10:29] Aki
And he doesn't trust the senses he's built up.
[10:31] Gosh
Nice receive!
[10:35] Se
How could you say that?!
You're his older brother!
[10:37] Aki
I'm complimenting him!
[10:38] Aki
You see, with my brother,
[10:40] ---
the more he feels let down,
the calmer he gets.
[10:42] Aki
He only believes in the information
that his eyes can see.
[10:48] Tsuk
Got it.
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[11:04] Aki
Kei was in the path of the spike right now.
[11:07] Aki
He was also positioned correctly on the left.
[11:09] Aki
So why...
[11:12] Enn
You were so close, Nishinoya!
[11:13] Enn
You're actually able to
react to Ushiwaka's spikes!
[11:16] Nish
The spike that I was actually able to touch
[11:18] Nish
is definitely not his full strength.
[11:20] Nish
He's probably still warming up his engine,
[11:23] Nish
and concentrating on getting
his spikes over our blocks.
[11:28] Ryu
I remember in middle school,
[11:30] ---
getting passes from a guy that
was left-handed was really hard.
[11:34] Sawa
So apparently with Ushiwaka's shots...
[11:35] Sawa
his off-speed shots are killer, too.
[11:41] Yama
Tsukki, man, you jammed your finger?
Are you okay?
[11:43] Tsuk
Did you have to rhyme that?
[11:46] Enn
I'll do it. Let me see.
[11:48] Tsuk
Thank you.
[11:49] Tsuk
This isn't any different from the usual.
[11:51] Tsuki
Actually,
[11:52] Tsuk
if it just stays like this, we'll be lucky.
[11:56] Enn
There you go.
[11:57] Tsuk
Thank you.
[11:59] Tsuk
Did I hesitate back there?
[12:02] Tsuk
No... I thought that I would lose.
[12:06] Tsuk
As if that was without a doubt.
[12:16] Take
Guys! Your faces are stiff!
[12:19] Take
Relax! Relax! Rel—
[12:21] Tke
...ax.
[12:27] Take
Ushijima-kun's serves were pretty
amazing, too, weren't they?
[12:31] Kei
He doesn't have monster precision
or control like Oikawa,
[12:35] Kei
but his impact speaks for itself.
[12:50] All
Nice serve!
[12:53] Sae
I don't get it...
[12:55] Sae
What's with that guy?
[12:57] Taki
If they get any farther ahead of us,
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[12:59] Taki
it'll be hard on them mentally, too.
[13:02] Swa
Sorry! We'll get the next one!
[13:04] All
Right!
[13:05] Tsuk
Thank goodness I'm not in
position to receive a serve.
[13:09] Tsuk
Trying to get that serve
head-on is crazy,
[13:12] Tsuk
and it's like the whole gym is
cheering for Shiratorizawa.
[13:16] Tsuk
We're probably going to have
to give up this first set,
[13:19] Tsuk
and then...
[13:21] Nishi
Bring it.
[13:23] Nishi
Bring it! Bring it!
[13:26] Nishi
Bring it! Bring it! Bring it!
[13:27] Yama
One more!
[13:30] ---
Bring it to me!

Come on, bring it!

It went up!

[14:20] Ten
Is he planning to hit it?
[14:26] All
All right!
[14:28] Sug
Nice toss, Kageyama!
[14:30] Hina
I totally thought Kageyama
was going to spike it...
[14:33] Azu
He definitely did what he said he'd do.
[14:36] Sawa
We can't just stand around.
[14:40] Shir
He went to set from a spike motion.
[14:43] Shir
Nothing less from Oikawa's junior.
[14:45] Ten
Huh? He is?!
[14:47] ---
That sucks!
[14:48] Tna
You seem pretty relaxed, considering
we're playing against Shiratorizawa.
[14:52] Kage
Well,
[14:53] Kage
no one scares me more than
Oikawa-san for the time being.
[14:56] Tana
I see!
[14:59] Hina
All right! Time to fight back!
[15:05] Sae
Shoyo came out!
[15:07] Yach
The first time he came out,
[15:08] ---
he was immediately rotated out.
[15:11] Sae
Get one in there!
[15:13] Hina
Nice serve!
[15:15] Ten
Man, he's really short.
[15:17] Ten
And he's somehow a middle
blocker despite that.
[15:27] Gosh
Nice receive!
[15:27] Sae
You're right! He really won't go for serves.
[15:30] Shim
He's getting ready for a back attack.
[15:36] All
All right!
[15:36] Kge
One person's time difference...
[15:38] Ten
Yay!
[15:43] ---
Tendo! Tendo!
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[15:47] Gosh
Nice serve!
[15:51] Azu
Out!
[15:53] All
All right!
[15:54] Kei
Nice call!
[15:56] Take
It's not that Shiratorizawa
isn't making any mistakes.
[15:59] Take
We can break through!
[16:06] All
All right!
[16:08] Take
Yes!
[16:09] Kei
The fact that Kageyama and Nishinoya
are playing like they normally do
[16:09] Hina
Nice serve, Kageyama!
[16:11] ---
is nothing less than amazing.
[16:13] Take
Yes.
[16:21] Shira
Goshiki!
[16:25] Goosh
All right!
[16:26] All
All right!
[16:29] Gosh
Did you see my super straight shot?!
[16:33] Ushi
Nice receive.
[16:34] Leon
Nah, I wasn't able to return it properly.
[16:36] Shira
Don't you get tired of
competing for attention?
[16:36] Leon
That kid's pretty strong for a first-year.
[16:39] Hina
Let's go, Kageyama.
[16:41] Kage
Yeah.
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[16:49] Gosh
Ushijima-san!
[16:54] Sae
All right! He got it!
[16:57] Nish
Damn! I didn't catch it completely.
[16:59] Tana
Hinata, get the last!
[17:05] Shim
He hit it against the block!
[17:06] Taki
That was a great rebound!

Huh?

I'm Hinata Shoyo, from the concrete.

who's only interested in himself,

is actually competing with someone.
[18:03] Ten
How amusing!

It's not over yet!
It's just the beginning!
[18:09] Yach
Switch it up!
[18:12] Tana
Next, next!
[18:13] Ten
Wakatoshi-kun, do you know Karasuno's #10?
[18:17] Ushi
I met him on the street.
[18:18] Ten
The street?
[18:19] Ush
He said that he was going to
beat me and go to nationals.
[18:22] Ten
What?! In the street?
[18:24] Ush
No, not in the street.
[18:27] Shira
Come to think of it, Ushijima-san,
[18:29] Shira
didn't you get in trouble for letting
outsiders onto school grounds?
[18:32] Ten
Karasuno's #10 is so amusing!
[18:35] ---
So that's why you like him.
[18:36] Ush
No, I dislike him.
[18:37] All
Huh?
[18:39] Ush
I hate confidence that has no basis.
[18:43] Ten
Oh? This is even more rare.
[18:46] Ten
Considering he's making
Wakatoshi-kun say such things,
[18:49] Ten
sounds like he'll entertain me.
[18:53] Ten
I guess I'll work hard, too.
[18:57] Kei
There's no reason to panic.
[18:59] Kei
They just happened to take
the first of five matches.
[19:03] Kei
And about this match...
[19:05] Kei
Ushijima scored eleven points,
[19:07] ---
so he scored almost half of the points.
[19:11] Kei
But the fact that the ball
is going to Ushijima so often
[19:14] Kei
means that you're frustrating
Shiratorizawa that much.
[19:18] Kei
Ushijima is also human.
[19:20] Kei
He'll eventually reach
the end of his stamina.
[19:23] Kei
He'll eventually start
to feel even the attacks
[19:25] ---
that he's not making himself.
[19:27] Kei
Don't forget that!

Right!

Got it!

[20:18] Shira
Nice.
[20:18] Kawa
Yup.
[20:20] Kei
In the case of Shiratorizawa,
[20:22] Kei
the fact that they're going for the center
line without using Ushijima is showing
[20:25] Kei
that they have the upper hand.
SIGN Ushijima (WS) Kawanishi (MB) Goshiki (WS)
Ohira (WS) Tendo (MB) Shirabu (S)
[20:27] Kei
And if the center line starts functioning,
[20:30] Kei
we're not going to be able to handle Ushijima,
or their other wing spikers.
[20:36] All
All right!
[20:37] Sawa
Nice kill!
[20:38] Kei
Our most difficult problem in
this match is, of course, Ushijima.
[20:43] Kei
We need an anti-Ushijima strategy first,
or we don't stand a chance.
[20:48] Kei
And for that, we need to
break down our opponents.
[20:48] Suga
Asahi, nice serve!
[20:51] Kei
We need to just keep serving up
powerful attacks, one after another.
[20:59] Suga
All right! It's off!
[21:01] Shir
Ushijima-san!
[21:06] All
All right!
[21:07] Nish
Damn it...
[21:08] Sawa
Don't mind! Don't mind!
[21:09] Take
Even if they get a point,
[21:11] ---
we just have to keep doing
what we just did, right?
[21:13] Kei
Yeah.
[21:15] Sae
Ugh.
[21:16] Sae
That guy's serving again.
[21:21] Yama
Wakatoshi, nice serve!
[21:31] Tana
It's just as I planned!
[21:33] Tsuk
You're tearing up.
SIGN Karasuno Shiratorizawa
[21:34] Sawa
Well done, Tanaka!
[21:36] Tak
All right. They're keeping up.
[21:37] Aki
If they can get used to Ushiwaka's left-handedness,
they have a chance at winning.
[21:43] Hina
I'm gonna go show Ushiwaka who's boss!
[21:46] Suga
Did something happen with
Hinata and Ushiwaka?
[21:49] Yama
Apparently they had some kind of scuffle.
[21:52] Suga
What?! He keeps causing trouble with
other schools without us knowing.
[21:59] Kei
Don't hold back.
[22:00] Hina
Bring it!
[22:01] Kei
Just keep on attacking.
[22:03] Kei
That's the only strategy we have.
[22:07] Tana
Chance ball!
[22:10] Hina
Give it to me!
[22:12] Shira
It's that diagonal jump again!
[22:34] Ten
If you want to beat Wakatoshi-kun,
[22:36] ---
you're gonna have to beat me, first.
[22:38] Ten
Ya know?
[24:13] Ten
The more that Wakatoshi-kun gets attention,
[24:16] Ten
the more impactful it is when I appear.
[24:20] Shir
Tendo-san, your personality
really is trash.
[24:22] Ten
Stop! No spoilers!
