**[00:02] Kage**
When I got into junior high,
there was an amazing player.
**[00:08] Kage**
I thought that junior high
was an amazing place,
***SIGN*** Best Setter Award
Oikawa Toru
**[00:13] Kage**
but that wasn't exactly the case...
**[00:17] Kage**
It was that person who was amazing.
***SIGN*** Certain Victory

**[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**
Watari!
**[05:11] Watari**
Got it!
**[05:12] Hana**
Nice recieve!
**[05:13] Kinda**
Center!
**[05:14] Hina**
*A-quick!*

Go, go, Yutaro!
**[05:23] Aoba**
Push it, push it, Yutaro! One more!
**[05:26] Sawa**
I wonder... Maybe I'm imagining it...
**[05:29] Sawa**
Their #12 seems to be jumping higher
**[05:31] ---**
than in our practice match.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[05:34] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan, nice serve!
**[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**
Right.
**[13:20] Iwa**
Nice serve!
**[13:21] Hana**
One more!
**[13:30] Teach**
It went up!
***SIGN*** Rule the Court

**[13:38] Sawa**
It's okay!
It went up like it should, Tanaka!
**[13:41] Tanaka**
Right.
**[13:46] Nishi**
Ryu!
**[13:47] Sawa**
Hinata, cover!
**[13:48] Hina**
Right!

#5! #5!
**[13:55] Coach**
Sensei.
**[13:55] Teach**
Right!
**[13:57] Blonde**
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**
In order to stop the momentum
of his dangerous serves,
**[15:34] Guy**
most teams usually take a timeout.
**[15:39] Karasu**
Bring it!
**[15:41] Aoba**
One more! One more!
**[15:43] Someone**
Nice serve!
**[15:44] Coach**
*Damn it. He's concentrating more than ever.*
**[15:47] Coach**
*The rest is up to you guys.*
**[15:51] Aoba**
Go!
**[15:57] Tanaka**
*If it deflects, it's finished!*
**[15:58] Tanaka**
*I'll receive it!*
**[16:01] Person**
That could have hit him in the face!
**[16:03] Takana**
*Damn it...*
**[16:04] Tanaka**
*It's falling—*
**[16:09] Teach**
They returned it!
**[16:10] Coach**
And to the best spot!
**[16:12] Oikawa**
Watacchi!
**[16:13] Watari**
Right! Hanamaki-san!
**[16:18] Kage**
Nice receive!
**[16:19] Nishi**
Sorry! Cover!
**[16:20] Tanaka**
Left!
**[16:22] Kage**
Tanaka-san!
**[16:24] Coach**
*It's not like he doesn't make mistakes,*
**[16:28] ---**
*and he's quick to let taunts get to him,*
**[16:30] Coach**
*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.*
**[16:39] ---**
*That mental strength...*
**[16:44] Coach**
*Those are unmistakably...*
**[16:48] Coach**
*...the qualities of an ace.*
**[16:53] Blonde**
Karasuno's baldy just managed...
**[16:55] Person**
...to stop Oikawa's momentum...
**[16:58] Tanaka**
Yeah!
**[16:59] Person**
...by himself!
**[17:00] Hina**
Tanaka-san!
**[17:01] Oikawa**
And I was planning on taking another
three or four points, too...
**[17:01] Nishi**
Ryu!
**[17:01] Sawa**
Tanaka!
**[17:02] Azu**
Nice!
**[17:02] Tanaka**
Thanks for the nice
follow-ups, everyone!
**[17:06] Tanaka**
This is the most I was
ever able to see a block!
**[17:09] Tanaka**
Some times, I can see the opponent's
block in slow motion in the air.
**[17:15] Tanaka**
It's just like light passing by.
**[17:18] Hina**
Tanaka-san, you're awesome!
**[17:21] Tanaka**
Well, I am your senpai!
**[17:22] Sawa**
Tanaka, serve!
**[17:23] Tanaka**
Yes!
**[17:25] Kage**
*We stopped their momentum,*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[17:28] Kage**
but this is just the beginning.
**[17:31] Kage**
*The pressure's just starting.*
**[17:36] Azu**
Nice one-touch!
**[17:36] Tanaka**
Chance ball!
**[17:39] Hina**
Bring it!
**[17:43] Hina**
All right!
**[17:45] Iwa**
*We knew they'd be coming, but that was fast.*
**[17:48] Iwa**
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,
**[18:01] ---**
I have confidence that I can set
the best tosses for everyone.
**[18:06] Oikawa**
That's why I won't lose as a setter.
**[18:13] Kage**
*Another one from above the block...*
**[18:13] Kunimi**
Kindaichi, nice!
**[18:16] Oikawa**
*There's no need to be that surprised.*
**[18:16] Seijoh**
Go, go, Yutaro! Push it, push it,
Yutaro! One more!
**[18:18] ---**
* That's where Kindaichi*
* always scored the best.*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[18:23] Sawa**
Front! Front!
**[18:25] Kage**
A seven-point lead...
**[18:26] Tanaka**
Nice receive!
**[18:27] Kage**
*We have to lessen it somehow.*
**[18:27] Hina**
Bring it!
**[18:32] Teach**
That seemed to be sharper than usual!
**[18:36] Kage**
*Damn it. Two blockers. They keep following.*
**[18:36] Kinda**
Sorry, I was a little late.
**[18:38] Iwa**
So close! Don't mind!
You'll get the next one.
**[18:40] Kage**
* If they stop us here,*
* they're going to take the momentum again.*
**[18:42] Kinda**
Right! I'll do my best!
**[18:43] ---**
*I'll somehow have to make it just one...*
**[18:46] Oikawa**
*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!*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[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?
