**[00:03] Akagi**
Sorry! Follow through!
**[00:15] Suna**
I'm always amazed you can pull off that set.
**[00:19] Suna**
You could just go underhand.
**[00:21] Atsu**
Well, it's a setter's job to set.
**[00:25] Atsu**
I have to set the ball to the best spot.
**[00:28] Suna**
And?
**[00:30] Atsu**
Underhanded, it would've been two arms.
**[00:32] Atsu**
But overhanded, I've got ten fingers.
**[00:35] Atsu**
I went with the higher
number for better support.
**[00:38] Atsu**
Because I'm a setter!
**[00:41] Riseki**
* I'm on a team with someone who*
* plays volleyball like that.*
**[00:46] Riseki**
*Yet I've been playing so half-assed...*
**[00:52] (Flashback) Kita**
We don't need a guy who just
gets the serve over on our team.
**[00:58] Riseki**
*I thought I'd never get a chance again.*
**[01:02] Coach**
Even the best team in the world would lose
if they kept doing the same thing.
**[01:10] Coach**
We haven't even become best in Japan yet.
**[01:12] Coach**
If we keep holding onto yesterday,
what are we going to be tomorrow?
**[01:20] Coach**
You just need one thing.
**[01:21] Coach**
Challenge yourself today.
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories

***SIGN*** Episode 22: Pitons
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[03:02] Crowd**
Nice serve!
**[03:06] Coach**
*Challenge...*
**[03:08] Coach**
*yourself today.*
**[03:11] Crowd**
Nice serve, Heisuke!
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[03:14] Crowd**
Nice serve, Heisuke! Go, go,
Heisuke, one more time!
**[03:16] Ann**
Unlike his stint in the second set,
**[03:19] Ann**
Riseki Heisuke let loose a tremendous serve!
**[03:21] Riseki**
Yes! Yes!
**[03:23] Coach**
Attaboy!
**[03:27] Keishin**
His serve is manageable.
Let's cut it off with one.
**[03:27] Ann**
Karasuno High's Coach Ukai is
trying to cut things off quickly.
**[03:30] Karasuno**
Right!
**[03:32] Sawa**
* So basically everyone in*
* Inarizaki's cheer squad*
**[03:35] ---**
* is like that one old guy*
* with the muttonchops.*
**[03:38] Kei**
* He'll cheer for plays he thinks were good,*
* and boo the bad ones.*
* *
**[03:46] Ann**
After a time out, it's Riseki's
turn to serve again.
**[03:49] Ann**
Can he keep up his concentration?
**[03:56] Nishi**
Ryu!
**[03:59] Tana**
It's long!
**[04:04] Ann**
That serve threw them off, and then...
**[04:05] Ann**
Ojiro Aran nails it!
**[04:08] Aran**
Yes!
**[04:08] Ann**
That was intense!
**[04:10] Riseki**
Yeah!
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[04:11] Crowd**
Nice kill, Aran!
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[04:14] Crowd**
Nice kill, Aran! Push it, push it,
Aran! One more time!
**[04:14] Ann**
And instantly, Inarizaki is
right on Karasuno's tail.
**[04:18] Shima**
Don't panic, guys...
**[04:20] Taki**
Don't worry... It'll be okay.
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[04:39] Guy**
Hey, nice job!
**[04:40] Riseki**
I'll get three points next time!
**[04:42] Guy**
At least say you'll get ten.
How serious are you?
**[04:55] Azu**
*One hundred percent.*
**[05:12] Guy**
Dang. He's really comin' for them.
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[05:15] Crowd**
Nice serve!
**[05:27] Dai**
Kageyama!
**[05:27] Ryu**
Left!
**[05:28] Kage**
Tanaka-san!
**[05:32] Omi**
*Their #5 on the left has an insane cut shot.*
**[05:35] Omi**
*But...*
**[05:38] Omi**
*You don't got much more than that, do you?*
**[05:46] Omi**
*You're just a weaker version of Bokuto.*
**[05:48] Ann**
He stopped it!
**[05:50] Ann**
Tanaka Ryunosuke's been on a roll
since the end of the first set,
**[05:53] Ann**
but he was just stopped in his tracks!
**[05:56] Ann**
Looks like the third-year Omimi-kun
**[05:58] ---**
just shut down the course
that kept getting by them.
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[06:02] Ann**
Inarizaki didn't just catch up!
**[06:04] ---**
They managed to turn things
around and take the lead.
**[06:09] Ann**
Inarizaki just scored the 13th point,
which marks the half point,
**[06:13] ---**
so the teams will now switch sides.
***SIGN*** Faculty Room
**[06:18] Ann**
* It seems like first-year Riseki's*
* serve turbocharged Inarizaki.*
**[06:24] Ann**
* Of course, confident serves*
* like that are powerful,*
**[06:27] Ann**
* but they also put pressure*
* on their opponents,*
**[06:29] ---**
* while giving their own team*
* a boost of encouragement.*
**[06:32] Ann**
*It's pretty hard to get them right, though.*
**[06:35] Ann**
* Will Karasuno High be able to*
* stop Inarizaki's momentum?*
**[06:39] Coach**
* Inarizaki is still showing*
* some instability.*
**[06:43] Coach**
* They're all individually powerful,*
* but sometimes, their teamwork is off,*
**[06:47] Coach**
* and their aggressiveness*
* can backfire on them.*
**[06:50] Coach**
*But they're called the Ultimate Challengers*
**[06:52] Atsu**
#3.
**[06:53] ---**
* because they can also make*
* all this work in their favor.*
**[06:53] Osamu**
I know.
**[06:56] Coach**
* The fact that they're ranked second*
* in the country is proof of that.*
**[07:00] Coach**
* It's gonna get rough if*
* you let them keep going.*
**[07:03] Atsu**
* Who the hell cares about*
* being ranked second in Japan?*
**[07:06] ---**
*Second? Or was it third?*
**[07:08] Atsu**
*It doesn't really matter, really.*
**[07:09] Atsu**
*That was yesterday.*
**[07:15] Kage**
Cover!
**[07:16] Osamu**
*Yesterday's already gone.*
**[07:18] Tana**
Kageyama, get the last!
**[07:19] Ojiro**
Right! Right!
**[07:21] Osamu**
* Plenty of yesterdays have already*
* been converted into muscle.*
**[07:25] Ann**
That was a difficult shot,
but Kageyama managed to get it back over,
**[07:28] ---**
aiming right for their setter, Miya Atsumu!
**[07:29] Atsu**
Osamu!
**[07:32] Ann**
But Inarizaki has...
**[07:34] Ann**
Miya Osamu!
**[07:37] Keishin**
* Their #2 over the center,*
* or the ace on the left...*
**[07:43] Osamu**
*What are we...*
**[07:44] Atsumu**
*...going to do...*
**[07:45] Osamu**
*...today?*
**[07:49] Atsu**
*The twins' minus tempo quick...*
**[07:51] Atsu**
*reverse!*
**[08:03] Yachi**
Wh-What was that?
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[08:12] Ann**
Unbelievable!
**[08:14] Ann**
That was a set from the spiker
Miya Osamu to the setter Miya Atsumu!
**[08:18] Ann**
They just dealt a minus tempo quick!
**[08:21] Ann**
The Miya Twins are a terrifying duo!
**[08:25] Riseki**
* If we keep holding onto yesterday,*
* what are we going to be tomorrow?*
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
Inarizaki High School Volleyball Club
**[08:34] Suga**
What the hell? Damn it!
**[08:38] Twins**
Yeah!
**[08:39] Atsu**
But it was too low and a bit short.
**[08:41] Osamu**
Stop being picky! I'm not a setter!
**[08:44] Atsu**
I think we might actually be able
to pull off a Sky Love Hurricane now!
**[08:47] Osamu**
Sure, you get to be the bottom.
**[08:49] Atsu**
Huh?! You're the bottom, you dimwit!
**[08:51] Kei**
That was a fluke. Don't let it get to you.
**[08:53] Sawa**
Right!
**[08:55] Kita**
That may have been a fluke, but there's
no denying that they're panicking.
**[08:58] Suna**
Yeah.
**[09:03] Kita**
*That must feel awful...*
**[09:05] Kita**
*Not only did the tables turn on them,*
**[09:07] Kita**
* they then faced an unpredictable attack,*
* so they must be panicked.*
**[09:11] Kita**
*I'm sure they'd like to change this flow.*
**[09:15] Kita**
* At times like this, you'd feel so much*
* better if you could get an epic one in.*
**[09:19] Kita**
*That'd also get your team's motivation up.*
**[09:22] Kita**
* We know you're gonna try to do everything*
* you can to get that spike over,*
**[09:26] Kita**
*and we're going to do everything*
**[09:32] Kita**
*to make sure it doesn't get over.*
**[09:35] Ann**
Shut down!
**[09:37] Ann**
They managed to stop the ace, Azumane!
**[09:40] Mika**
It seems like the orange guys
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[09:43] Mika**
might actually lose at this rate.
**[09:48] Atsu**
I put too much strength into it! Sorry!
**[09:50] Guy**
Guess he touched the net. Lucky for them,
**[09:51] Osamu**
Lame.
**[09:51] Atsu**
Shut your mouth!
**[09:53] Guy**
but the side that took a
mental beating is Karasuno.
**[09:54] Sawa**
We got lucky, and now we can catch up!
**[10:02] Sawa**
* Damn it... I'd been able to*
* ignore Inarizaki's cheer squad,*
**[10:06] ---**
*but now they're getting to me again.*
**[10:08] Nishi**
Get out there, Shoyo!
**[10:09] Hina**
Yeah!
**[10:10] Ann**
And now, Karasuno's bringing middle
blocker Hinata-kun up to the front.
**[10:14] Ann**
He's an excellent scorer and one
of the best decoys out there,
**[10:15] Yachi**
Hinata...
**[10:19] Ann**
so they'll hoping to snap Inarizaku's streak.
**[10:22] Shima**
*Hinata, do something.*
**[10:24] Taki**
*Anything!*
**[10:28] Sawa**
Asahi!
**[10:31] Suga**
It's up! Follow through!
**[10:32] Sawa**
Tanaka!
**[10:37] Ann**
Inarizaki lost control of the ball, but...
**[10:40] Ann**
Ojiro Aran put everything
he had into that one!
**[10:42] Kage**
Tanaka-san!
**[10:48] Atsu**
Up front!
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[10:56] Ann**
Inarizaki's blockers are
also upping their game.
**[10:59] Tana**
Kageyama...
**[11:01] Tana**
I'm gonna swallow my pride
and ask you to do this.
**[11:05] Sawa**
Hinata!
**[11:08] Suga**
Nice, nice!
**[11:10] Enn**
Nice kill! Nice kill!
**[11:11] Ann**
And now, Kageyama's up to serve. Karasuno
will probably want some break points here.
**[11:12] Suga**
Kageyama! Nice serve!
**[11:18] Atsumu**
*Their #9 has a powerful serve...*
**[11:20] Atsumu**
* Up front, they've got three attackers,*
* including their #10.*
**[11:21] Tanaka**
Kageyama, nice serve!
**[11:23] ---**
*This is the most annoying rotation.*
**[11:31] Shima Taki**
Free ball!
**[11:36] Aka**
*It's because this rotation's so annoying...*
**[11:40] Aka**
*That we won't let them have that break point!*
**[11:43] Crowd**
Nice receive!
**[11:45] Aka**
*It's long!*
**[11:48] Both**
*Dump!*
**[11:50] Both**
*I'm gonna stop him!*
**[11:55] Saeko**
Yes!
**[12:02] Saeko**
Wh-Why are they getting a point?!
**[12:04] Shima**
That was a reach over.
**[12:06] Saeko**
What?
**[12:07] Shima**
Hinata and Tanaka probably thought
they blocked Miya Atsumu's dump,
**[12:11] Shima**
but Miya Atsumu was actually trying to set.
**[12:15] Shima**
They're not allowed to touch the ball
when it's still in the opponent's court.
**[12:19] Kage**
*You baited him into doing that.*
**[12:23] Atsumu**
* The ones who dominate the net aren't*
* the big guys or the middle blockers.*
**[12:28] Atsumu**
* It's the ones who reign over*
* this territory... The setters.*
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[12:38] Ann**
And now, the rotation brings back
Inarizaki's most powerful server, Miya Atsumu.
**[12:47] Ann**
Will Karasuno be able to survive?
**[13:01] Ann**
Whoa, there! That ball went right
back over to Inarizaki's court!
**[13:02] Sawa**
Damn it.
**[13:05] Suga**
Nice receive!
**[13:05] Ann**
Karasuno survives a little longer.
**[13:08] Mika**
The orange guys just seem to
be barely hanging on now.
**[13:12] Guy**
Yeah...
**[13:15] Nishi**
Tsukishima! Kick ass out there!
**[13:19] Taki**
*Damn it...*
**[13:20] Shima**
* Now their setter's in the back, meaning the*
* twins' quick is probably coming up again.*
**[13:25] Shima**
*Keep your blocking game up!*
**[13:32] Ann**
That receive is going right to the center.
Who's Miya Atsumu going to use?
**[13:39] Ann**
And the attack's gonna come
from the right with Ginjima!
**[13:43] Taki**
Yes!
**[13:44] Ann**
But Karasuno's wall, Tsukishima,
isn't gonna let that happen!
**[13:47] Some**
One more time!
**[13:48] Guy**
Got it!
**[13:49] Atsu**
Osamu!
**[13:54] Ann**
Miya Atsumu skips the
pass and sets the ball!
**[13:57] Osamu**
*That's insane, Tsumu.*
**[14:01] Kei**
*Tsukishima's on point.*
**[14:05] Ann**
*The ball's waiting for Miya Osamu!*
**[14:13] Tsuki**
What?!
**[14:14] Ann**
Miya Osamu sets the ball
that was set to him!
**[14:19] Ann**
Karasuno's blockers totally
fell for that one!
**[14:23] Suga**
Damn it...
**[14:25] Ann**
And here comes Ojiro Aran
**[14:28] Ann**
from the back!
**[15:01] Guy**
*Every once in a while...*
**[15:03] Guy**
* In a period of time that feels*
* long and filled with exhaustion,*
**[15:08] Guy**
* though very rarely,*
* you might see something like this.*
**[15:13] Guy**
* Just thinking about it*
* gets your heart racing...*
**[15:16] Guy**
* And you can feel your*
* confidence coming back.*
**[15:20] Guy**
*After a long, strenuous climb to the top,*
**[15:23] ---**
* it serves as the foothold*
* that you desperately needed.*
**[15:27] Guy**
*It's not a miracle.*
**[15:29] Guy**
* Maybe it's one out of a hundred,*
* or even one out of a thousand,*
**[15:32] Guy**
* but it's the one you went to*
* reach and managed to grab.*
**[15:37] Guy**
* By grabbing and connecting*
* these rare moments,*
**[15:40] Guy**
* you're able to keep climbing*
* higher and higher.*
**[15:45] Kageyama**
* I never thought the day would come*
* where I'd say this to you...*
**[15:49] Kage**
Nice receive!
**[15:56] (Flashback) Kage**
I'm going on ahead.
**[15:58] (Flashback) Tana**
Don't panic too much.
**[16:02] (Flashback) Keishin**
Also... Don't go underestimating
what it takes to be a ball boy.
**[16:06] (Flashback) Old**
Without that setter, Kageyama,
**[16:09] (Flashback) Old**
I can't say that I sense any worth in you.
**[16:12] (Flashback) Take**
"He who climbs the ladder
must begin at the bottom."
**[16:18] (Flashback) Ushi**
What are you even doing?
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
**[16:45] Hina**
*The set's a bit low.*
**[16:48] Hina**
*He's struggling with his approach...*
**[16:51] Hina**
*Blocker on that line...*
**[17:05] Ann**
Despite their libero not being present,
**[17:07] Ann**
their middle blocker Hinata Shoyo
**[17:10] Ann**
*managed to get that powerful attack up!*
***SIGN*** Faculty Room
**[17:13] Ann**
*What a nice receive!*
**[17:15] Guy**
* A fluke? I mean, I guess*
* you could call it that...*
**[17:19] Guy**
*But they can't all be flukes. I mean...*
**[17:23] Guy**
*Wait... What exactly is a fluke?*
**[17:27] Guy**
* There was concentrated*
* intent behind his actions.*
**[17:34] Kage**
*The moment he made contact with the ball,*
**[17:36] Kage**
* he used his whole body to kill*
* the ball's velocity,*
**[17:40] Kage**
*then sent it up high, gently spinning...*
**[17:42] Kage**
It's perfect—
**[17:43] Kage**
* No wait! I'm not gonna say it!*
* I'm not gonna say it yet!*
**[17:46] All**
Counter!
**[17:48] Kei**
Go! Get that break point!
**[17:52] All**
*Synchro Attack: Five-Man Version!*
**[17:57] Coach**
* It may be a single point, but it's*
* one that we can't let them get!*
**[18:01] Coach**
* It's gonna turn the game in*
* a direction we don't want!*
**[18:03] Coach**
Stop them!
**[18:10] Atsu**
Follow through!
**[18:14] Atsu**
Three blockers!
**[18:19] Atsu**
Nice wipe!
**[18:24] Gin**
*He's so fast! What the—*
**[18:27] Hina**
Kageyama!
**[18:45] Yachi**
Nice kill!
**[18:50] Ann**
It's still in the air! Can Inarizaki
send it back over? They can!
**[18:53] Dai**
Back! Back!
**[18:53] All**
Free ball!
**[18:54] Azu**
One more!
**[18:59] Dai**
*You've gotta be kidding me!*
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[19:08] All**
Yeah!
**[19:10] All**
Yeah!
**[19:11] Coach**
*It wasn't a break point.*
**[19:13] Coach**
* It wasn't even a point that*
* gives us the match point.*
**[19:17] Coach**
*But even then...*
**[19:19] Coach**
* That point was more than enough*
* to shatter their spirits.*
**[19:24] Coach**
*Once their spirits are shattered,*
**[19:26] ---**
* their bodies suddenly remember all*
* the exhaustion that's been piling up.*
**[19:29] Kei**
Sensei...
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[19:34] Ann**
That was an amazing rally where
neither side wanted to give up,
**[19:37] Ann**
but it appears as though the goddess of
victory is still smiling upon Inarizaki!
**[19:41] Guy**
* It was just barely, but having those two*
* huge attacks come back at them must've hurt.*
**[19:47] Mika**
That was so close.
**[19:48] Guy**
Yeah.
**[19:54] Yama**
*I don't want to lose.*
**[19:56] Tana**
*We can't lose!*
**[19:57] Sawa**
*I'm not gonna let this end.*
**[19:59] Suga**
*We're not gonna—*
**[20:00] Hina**
Did you see that?!
**[20:02] Hina**
Did you see my receive back there?!
**[20:13] Kage**
Nope.
**[20:14] Hina**
You lie!
**[20:16] Hina**
Just so you know, I heard
you say, "Nice receive!"
**[20:19] Hina**
Now, just watch me get the next one!
**[20:26] Suga**
*It hurts.*
**[20:28] Suga**
*I just want to stop.*
**[20:31] Suga**
*This is when you get over those feelings,*
**[20:33] Suga**
*and take that first step.*
**[20:51] Osamu**
It's like he's havin' a good meal.
**[20:54] Atsu**
Seriously. Why do you keep
thinking about food this match?
**[20:58] Osamu**
It's like when you eat too
much yakiniku, feel sick,
**[21:02] Osamu**
swear you won't eat any for a while,
**[21:05] Osamu**
but then you want some the very next day.
**[21:07] Atsu**
Actually, I prefer to have
curry or sushi after yakiniku.
**[21:11] Osamu**
Despite eating multiple times a day,
you instantly get hungry.
**[21:15] Osamu**
And every time you eat, you feel happy.
**[21:18] Osamu**
And no matter how many
times you experience it,
**[21:20] ---**
that feeling of happiness never goes away.
**[21:23] Atsu**
Ah, well...
**[21:24] ---**
I guess you do always look like you're
super happy to be alive when you eat.
**[21:29] Atsu**
Even if you're eating cold
rice balls or soggy ramen.
**[21:34] Osamu**
That's what's going on with him, though.
**[21:39] Osamu**
He's playing volleyball like I eat my food.
**[21:46] Osamu**
Tsumu, did you know?
**[21:48] Osamu**
If you have a bite when you're starving,
**[21:55] Osamu**
