When I got into junior high,
there was an amazing player.
[00:08] Kage
I thought that junior high
was an amazing place,

but that wasn't exactly the case...
[00:17] Kage
It was that person who was amazing.

[00:20] Kage
If I could surpass him,
[00:23] Kage
I'd be the best setter in the prefecture.
[00:39] Person
Dang... Karasuno's setter
is only a first-year,
[00:41] Person
but he's going head-to-head with Oikawa.
[00:44] Person
This is totally a battle of the setters.
[00:47] Hina
That was awesome!
[00:48] Hina
You're not losing against
the Great King, Kageyama!
[00:51] Kage
Even if he's the best
overall player in the prefecture,
[00:56] Kage
I won't lose to him as a setter.
[00:58] Hina
But aren't you serving next?
[01:01] Hina
You're on the back line, right?
[01:02] Hina
You said you'd do the same thing again,
[01:05] Hina
but isn't a dump from the
back line illegal?
[01:06] Kage
Shut up!
[01:08] Kage
I-I meant when I got back
up to the front line.

[02:44] Sawa
Kageyama, nice serve!
[02:52] Kage
Crap!
[02:53] Hana
Out! Out!
[02:56] Iwa
He sure blew that one out of the park.
[02:59] Oikawa
What an amazing homerun.
[03:02] Kage
Damn it!
[03:03] Sawa
Don't mind! Don't mind!
[03:04] Kage
I'm sorry.
[03:06] Oikawa
Well, then.
[03:08] Oikawa
I guess I'll just have to show
you how it's done.
[03:17] Suga
Eh? He was aiming for Nishinoya?!
[03:20] Noya
It's coming head-on...
no, it's curving!
[03:26] Person
He was able to receive Oikawa's serve!
[03:28] Person
Karasuno's libero's awesome!
[03:30] Haruka
Aww...
[03:31] Yuuko
He got it.
[03:33] Oikawa
Aw, man. He really is amazing.
[03:35] Iwa
Whadya mean, "show you how it's done"?!
[03:37] ---
He received it without a problem!
[03:40] Hina
Bring it!
[03:41] Iwa
#10! #10!
[03:47] Hina
Yeah!
[03:47] Kage
All right!
[03:49] Glasses
You just saw the guy on
the right, didn't you?
[03:51] Blonde
Yeah.
[03:52] Blonde
Nekoma's setter tried to trick people
using his eyes, didn't he?
[03:57] Oikawa
That god-like toss should
be against the rules. Jeez.
[04:00] Sensei
I'm impressed that Nishinoya-kun
was able to receive that cleanly.
[04:03] Sensei
Oh, but maybe Oikawa-kun didn't mean
to hit it toward Nishinoya-kun.
[04:08] Coach
No, I think he was aiming for Nishinoya.
[04:12] Sawa
Well done!
[04:12] Coach
If Nishinoya wasn't able to get that,
[04:14] Noya
Thanks!
[04:14] ---
the damage to everyone else's morale
would have been huge.
[04:15] Sawa
Do that one more time!
[04:18] Coach
I think that's what he wanted.
[04:22] Coach
Thank goodness.
[04:23] ---
You did a great job receiving that, Nishinoya.
[04:27] Kinda
I'm sorry. I keep messing up.
[04:31] Oikawa
Well, they are the Karasuno
that toyed with Date Tech.
[04:34] Oikawa
Let's just wait a bit.
[04:36] ---
It shouldn't be much longer.
[04:38] Oikawa
More importantly, Kindaichi...
[04:41] Oikawa
I'm sure that you're rather frustrated
[04:43] ---
that the role of Kayeyama's partner
was stolen by that little shrimp.
[04:47] Kinda
No, not really...
[04:47] Oikawa
It's fine. Don't sweat it.
[04:49] Oikawa
Even if Tobio thought of you
[04:51] ---
as a minion that wasn't
very useful in junior high,
[04:55] Oikawa
I, the great Oikawa-san,
will prove that you're amazing,
[04:59] ---
even without using god-like quicks.
[05:04] Oikawa
So don't worry and just jump.
[05:05] Kinda
Right!
[05:08] Suga
Tanaka, nice serve!
[05:09] Yama
Nice serve!
[05:11] Iwa

[05:31] ---
than in our practice match.

[05:34] Oikawa

[05:38] Sawa
Sorry! Cover!
[05:39] Kage
Right!
[05:40] Hina
Toss to me!
[05:52] Oikawa
Yep.
[05:56] Oikawa
Sensei! Sensei!
SIGN Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[06:01] Person
Seijoh's already asking for a timeout?
[06:03] Person
Isn't it a bit early?
[06:04] Person
It wasn't like Karasuno had
momentum or anything.
[06:08] Oikawa
I'm pretty sure I'm right about this.
[06:11] Oikawa
It's "bring it" and "to me."
[06:14] Suga
Could it be that they've
already figured it out?
[06:17] Kage
Damn it, that was fast.
[06:19] Oikawa
At first, I noticed that the shrimp
would always yell something
[06:22] ---
when he'd move in on the ball,
[06:25] ---
and I thought he seemed pretty stupid.
[06:27] Oikawa
But when they use that
god-like quick attack,
[06:29] ---
it appears they're using "bring it,"
like "bring it here"
[06:32] ---
or "bring it to me."
[06:34] Oikawa
And with a normal one...
[06:36] Iwa
...they're using "to me."
[06:38] Oikawa
Yep.
[06:39] Oikawa
But that shrimp's role is to be the decoy.
[06:42] Oikawa
They want us to focus our attention on him.
[06:47] Oikawa
So let's just set up a simple rule.
[06:50] Oikawa
When we hear "bring it," let's just
have one person mark the shrimp.
[06:54] Oikawa
When we hear "to me," let's see
where the toss goes before we jump.
[06:58] Oikawa
Okay?
[06:59] Seijoh
Right!
[07:00] Iwa
Considering we took a timeout this early
when nothing's really happened yet,
[07:05] Iwa
don't you think they realized that
we've realized what they're doing?
[07:08] Oikawa
That's completely fine.
[07:09] ---
It's actually better if they realize it.
[07:11] Oikawa
If they know that we've realized
they're using those signals,
[07:14] Oikawa
it might be minimal, but Tobio will panic.
[07:18] Nishi
Hey! What's with the serious face?
That's not like you.
[07:22] Tanaka
Nah, Noya-san. That's actually
how he always looks.
[07:26] Tanaka
He has the same face when
[07:28] ---
he's trying to decide between
milk a yogurt drink.
[07:29] Kage
That— He— That has nothing
to do with anything!
[07:33] Tanaka
But Noya-san, I'm amazed that you
were able to return that serve.
[07:36] Nishi
I received that serve once
when I was in junior high.
[07:40] Nishi
It was always an amazing serve,
if he could actually get it in,
[07:43] Nishi
but he missed it a lot, and it
didn't have as much control.
[07:47] Nishi
I'm sure he practiced a lot.
[07:50] Nishi
Just because they have one
guy who can serve really well
[07:53] ---
and their setter is an all-around player,
[07:55] Nishi
I don't think those are the only reasons
they've stayed in the top four for so long.
[07:58] Nishi
If we let our guard down,
they'll take this game.
[08:00] Nishi
Let's give it our all!
[08:01] All
Right!
[08:05] Seijoh
All right!
[08:05] Kage
What the hell kind of sound was that?!
[08:07] Tanaka
Don't look down, even if you miss.
[08:09] Oikawa
All right. Let's go ahead with our plan.
[08:11] Oikawa
Kindaichi, you know where to aim, right?
[08:14] Kinda
Yes!
[08:15] Oikawa
One point!
[08:16] Oikawa
No matter how great a set up may be,
[08:18] Oikawa
it only exists because of the first receive.
[08:23] Iwa
Kindaichi, nice serve!
[08:27] Teach
Oh? That didn't look like
a very strong serve.
[08:27] Azu
Sorry! We'll get the next one!
[08:29] Sawa
Don't mind! Don't mind!
[08:36] Seijoh
All right!
[08:38] Azu
It's really hard to get.
[08:40] Coach
It seems...
[08:42] Coach
They're trying to get the setter
from the back line to come out.
[08:45] Haruka
That wasn't like Oikawa-kun's serve,
so why can't they get it?
[08:50] Blonde
Ahem. Well, that's because...
SIGN Back line Front line
[08:54] Blonde
When the setter is in the back line,
[08:56] Blonde
he can't move in front of
the players on the front line
[08:59] Blonde
until after the serve is hit.
SIGN Back line Front line
[09:02] Blonde
So when they serve the ball,
[09:05] ---
they have to rush toward
the net at the same time.
[09:09] Blonde
If they happen to to serve right
where this mixing of people occurs,
[09:11] Blonde
they tend to receive late
and it's easy to miss.
[09:15] Blonde
But as soon as they know where it's going...
[09:16] Iwa
Kindaichi, nice serve!
[09:19] Azu
Yeah!
[09:20] Blonde
...it's not an impossible serve to get.
[09:21] Kage
Nice receive!
[09:25] Karasu
All right!
[09:25] Haru
So they're thinking about
a lot of things while playing...
[09:28] Both
Thank you, old guy.
[09:30] Blonde
"Old." Sure.
[09:34] Teach
Ah, looks like Oikawa-kun is back up front.
[09:37] Oikawa
#3! #3!
[09:37] Teach
They'll have to be careful
of that dump attack again.
[09:38] Hana
Nice serve!
[09:40] Kage
Damn it...
[09:42] Kage
This pressure's incredible.
[09:44] ---
They're now four points ahead of us,
[09:46] Kage
and we have two blockers
on the front row without Hinata.
[09:49] Kage
We have to hurry up the rotation.
[09:55] Tanaka
Nice receive!
[09:57] Iwa
A dump!
[10:02] Oikawa
There's nothing easier to stop than a
dump when you're panicked.
SIGN Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[10:11] Both
Yeah!
[10:13] Both
Yeah!
[10:15] Tanaka
Let's turn this around and
get those four points back.
[10:17] Tanaka
Yeah!
[10:19] Oikawa
They're so lively...
[10:21] ---
...and troublesome.
[10:27] Hina
Give me a toss!
[10:29] (Flashback) Oikawa
When we hear "give me,"
we look at the toss...
[10:33] Kinda
...and then jump!
[10:38] Karasu
All right!
[10:38] Kage
Have they realized it, after all?
[10:41] Tanaka
Kageyama, nice serve!
[10:43] Nishi
One point!
[10:44] Kage
I'm not going to miss this time.
[10:49] Coach
Is it a bit too forward?
[10:54] Oikawa
Front! Front! Front!
[10:55] Coach
Good. He was able to turn
it into a soft serve.
[10:58] Oikawa
I'm not going to give you
a chance that easily.
[11:03] Teach
Kageyama-kun touched the ball first?
[11:05] ---
Now he can't toss!
[11:07] Sawa
Tanaka!
[11:09] Tanaka
Damn it!
[11:10] Coach
To be able to change a tight spot
into an opportunity so quickly...
[11:13] Coach
The fact that he's able to
do that in an actual match...
[11:16] Coach
His command of the game is amazing.
[11:18] Suga
Don't mind! Don't mind!
[11:20] Yama
One more!
[11:22] Teach
Now it's Oikawa-kun's turn to serve again.
[11:26] Oikawa
Seeing the heavy atmosphere when a team's
cheerful mood-maker suddenly falls silent...
[11:34] Seijoh
I love it!
[12:00] Sawa
Don't mind!
We'll get the next one!
[12:02] Oikawa
Continuously missing serve receives
will apply a lot of pressure.
[12:06] Oikawa
First, we'll have to quiet
down the lively baldy,
[12:10] Oikawa
then the ace.
[12:12] Oikawa
If we can break the two on the left
who are the essence of their attack...
[12:15] Oikawa
There's no point in having a skilled decoy.
[12:20] Person
That was fast.
[12:21] ---
Karasuno's taking a timeout
right after a fast attack.
[12:23] Person
Well, the momentum's already with Seijoh,
[12:26] Person
so if they don't hurry up
and turn the momentum around,
[12:27] ---
they're not going to be able to come back.
[12:29] Person
I feel bad for the guy they're targeting.
[12:32] Coach
Just lift it up!
[12:33] ---
Even if it doesn't go to the setter,
as long as we can get the ball up,
[12:37] ---
we can recover somehow!
[12:38] Tanaka
Right.
[12:40] Coach
By the way, Kageyama-kun...
[12:42] Coach
What was with that dump earlier?
[12:45] Kage
I'm sorry! I panicked!
[12:49] Coach
If you realize that, it's fine.
[12:51] Coach
It's not that dumps are wrong.
[12:54] Coach
It's also in our favor if we
have the enemy verify that
[12:56] ---
we have a lot of ways to attack.
[12:59] Coach
However, if they read
that we're doing a dump,
[13:01] ---
then it's likely that they'll stop it.
[13:03] Coach
Think carefully about when
you're going to use it.
[13:06] Kage
Yes!
[13:07] Coach
Also, don't forget who
we're fighting against.
[13:10] Coach
It's not Oikawa, but Aoba Johsai.
[13:13] Coach
Also, it's not just you that's fighting,
[13:15] Coach
it's Karasuno.
[13:17] Kage

So they've already used
both of their timeouts...
[14:00] Blonde
Right now, the top priority
is to stop their momentum.
[14:03] Glasses
In volleyball, where making
the connection is everything,
[14:06] Glasses
when you miss receiving
the serves repeatedly,
[14:10] ---
the guilt and loneliness
you feel is like no other.
[14:14] Blonde
And then the final blow that followed...
[14:17] Blonde
Is baldy going to be okay?
[14:20] Hina
I wonder if I should say something.
[14:23] Hina
Whenever I feel down,
[14:25] ---
Tanaka-san always says something.
[14:29] Hina
So maybe I should...
[14:31] Hina
Um—
[14:42] Tanaka
I'm sorry!
[14:44] Nishi
Ryu! There are some things
that can't be helped!
[14:46] Nishi
That toss was hard, and
there was a three-person block.
[14:49] ---
I should have followed up—
[14:49] Tanaka
I didn't call the toss just now.
[14:53] Tanaka
I got scared for a second, damn it!
[14:56] Tanaka
I'll have all of my regrets after the match!
[14:59] Tanaka
There's no point in someone worthless like me
[15:01] ---
bringing everyone down because
I'm upset about my own mistake!
[15:05] Tanaka
I'll get it next time!
[15:07] Coach
The fact that you're saying that
shows just how worthy you are.
[15:11] Tanaka
Oh, right.
[15:12] Coach
If you try to receive by just using
your arms, it'll just deflect,
[15:15] ---
so move your legs, too.
[15:17] Nishi
You should be just like Ryu, Asahi-san.
[15:20] Azu
If I could, I would!
[15:22] Person
Hey, about the timeout they took earlier...
[15:25] Person
Didn't that Oikawa guy seem weird?
[15:28] Guy
Yeah. Apparently, it's so
he doesn't lose his focus.
[15:32] Guy

of his dangerous serves,

and he's quick to let taunts get to him,

but...
[16:32] Coach
He's the second-strongest after Azumane,
and most importantly,
[16:36] Coach
his ability to perform when
he's cornered doesn't deteriorate.

That mental strength...
[16:44] Coach
Those are unmistakably...

Hey! You're not gonna say,
"I can't toss like him," are you?
[17:52] Oikawa
Like Tobio? But I really can't.
[17:54] Oikawa
I can't pinpoint like that.
[17:58] Oikawa
Don't get mad!
[17:59] Sawa
Tanaka, nice serve!
[17:59] Oikawa
Even if I'm no match for his talent,

I have confidence that I can set
the best tosses for everyone.

That's why I won't lose as a setter.

There's no need to be that surprised.

When I was a second-year in high school,
[18:48] ---
I heard the nickname of my very talented
underclassman from junior high:
[18:52] Oikawa
The King of the Court.
[18:54] ---
I thought it was high praise,
[18:57] Oikawa
but after I saw a match,
I realized it meant something else.
[19:02] Oikawa
He has the power.
[19:03] ---
He has the talent.
[19:04] ---
He's hungry for victory,
way more than anyone else.
[19:09] Oikawa
That's what made Tobio strong,
[19:11] Oikawa
but also...
[19:13] Oikawa
...it was his only weakness.
[19:16] Oikawa
You try to do everything
yourself far too much, Tobio.
[19:20] Oikawa
And that's not an easy habit to break.
[19:23] ---
Especially after just two months.
[19:27] Iwa
Hanamaki, nice kill!
[19:28] Kinda
Nice!
[19:30] Suga
Hinata!
[19:33] ---
Use the signal we talked about.
We're changing plans!
[19:36] Hina
Could it be the new one?
[19:38] Sawa
Cover!
[19:39] Iwa
Matsukawa, nice block!
[19:43] Nishi
All right!
[19:44] Sawa
One more! One more!
[19:46] Blonde
Hey. Are Karasuno's attacks getting faster?
[19:52] Coach
I don't feel good about this acceleration,
[19:54] Coach
and we've already used up our timeouts.
[19:57] Coach
Take your time! Don't panic!
[20:00] Person
The curse of speed...
[20:02] ---
When you feel like you
want to escape from a block,
[20:05] Person
you end up doing faster tosses
rather than ones that are easy to hit.
[20:09] Person
Unconsciously, and just
a little at a time...
[20:13] Person
But that...
[20:14] Person
...eventually leads to a giant shift.
[20:17] Oikawa
Tobio, you're a genius.
[20:20] Oikawa
You're the only person who could
use that attack with that shrimp.
[20:25] Oikawa
But what about everything else?
[20:27] Oikawa
If you were able to raise the
ball a bit slower, I think your #3
[20:31] ---
could have enough power
to spike through the blocks.
[20:35] Oikawa
Does glasses there trust your tosses
enough that he could seriously hit them?
[20:41] Oikawa
Spikers are all different.
[20:43] ---
Once you're able to bring out
100% of the strengths
[20:45] ---
of each and every one of them,
that's when...
[20:49] Oikawa
you'll be a true setter!

[20:54] Kage
It's no use. The gap's
not getting any smaller.
[20:58] Kage
Something... I have to do so something.
[21:01] Kage
It's going over the net!
[21:02] Sawa
Push it, Kageyama!
[21:22] Yama
It's like...
[21:24] ---
...he's not his usual self.
[21:32] Tanaka
Nice receive!
[21:34] Kage
I'm not going to lose!
I'm not going to lose!
[21:38] Kage
I'm going to win and remain on the court!
[21:46] Matsu
It's coming back!
[21:46] Nishi
Asahi-san, nice follow through!
[21:47] Iwa
Chance ball!
[21:48] Person
Oikawa has sense, and doesn't lack effort,
[21:52] Person
but when you compare him
to the mass of talent
[21:55] ---
named Kageyama that's two
years younger than him,
[21:58] Person
Oikawa is an efficient player,
but not a genius.
[22:02] ---
I can say with confidence that,
at this moment in time,
[22:04] Person
the one who is a better setter...
[22:09] Person
is Oikawa.

A player change now?
[24:00] Glasses
Yeah... that's always really rough...
[24:02] Glasses
You can't even raise your head
when you leave the court.
[24:05] Blonde
But Shimada, you were always
a reserve, weren't you?
[24:08] Glasses
Uh...
