SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[00:06] Ann
    Inarizaki seems to be adding
    their captain, Kita Shinsuke, back in.
[00:10] Ann
    Are they strengthening their defense?
[00:12] Ann
    I believe so.
[00:14] Ann
    Inarizaki seems stronger, defensively
    and mentally, when he's on the court.
[00:22] (Flashback) Kita
    I probably shouldn't be the
    one to bring this up, but...
[00:25] (Flashback) Coach
    What?
[00:26] (Flashback) Kita
    Wouldn't putting me back in
    right now be passively defensive?
[00:30] (Flashback) Coach
    Huh? Wha?! This is my best offensive attack!
[00:34] (Flashback) Coach
    The Miyas are totally on point today.
[00:37] (Flashback) Coach
    So if I'm putting you in, it means
    that the last thing they should do
[00:39] (Flashback) ---
    is step on the brakes.

[00:45] Kita
    To be honest, I don't like that motto.
[00:49] Kita
    It's not like the path
    is only in front of us.
[00:51] Kita
    Focusing and being rash
    are two different things.
[00:54] Kita
    I don't understand guys like them at all.
[00:58] Kita
    But...
[01:00] Kita
    Watching them does make my heart stir.
[01:03] Kita
    I'm not a player that can
    change the flow of things,
[01:07] Atsu
    I'm pretty sure we could've
    pulled that off.
[01:08] Kita
    but I feel like I need to watch the backs
    of these guys who just keep running ahead.
[01:09] Osa
    Let it go. You messed that
    up when we were kids.
[01:13] Atsu
    Pretty sure I can do it now.
[01:16] Kita
    You're probably in the same boat.

[02:58] Akagi
    Got it!
[02:59] Gin
    One more! One more!
[03:05] Crowd
    Nice kill, Rintaro!
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
[03:08] Crowd
    Nice kill, Rintaro! Jump, jump, Rintaro!
[03:10] Suna
    Looks like you don't have enough stamina.
[03:16] Tsuki
    Probably.
[03:25] Tsuki
    It's coming back.
[03:26] Ryu
    Free ball!
[03:27] Sawa
    Got it!
[03:29] All
    Synchronized attack!
[03:36] Tsuki
    We're not syncing.
[03:41] Ann
    The quick didn't go through.
[03:43] Ann
    That mistake's gotta hurt for Karasuno.
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[03:46] Kage
    Damn it! It was too high.
[03:49] Kage
    Sorry—
[03:49] Tsuki
    Could you not apologize?
[03:52] Tsuki
    I just didn't jump high enough.
[03:56] Tsuki
    Always jumping with the intention
    of hitting the ball over...
[04:00] Tsuki
    Always making sure there's a good
    distance for the approach...
[04:03] Tsuki
    Hinata always does this?
    Actually, even more than this?
[04:08] Kage
    Shut up.
[04:10] Kage
    I estimated wrong. It's my mistake.
[04:13] Tsuki
    It's amazing how much you don't
    seem like you mean any of that.
[04:18] Kage
    So can you do this?
[04:20] Tsuki
    Of course.
[04:23] Sawa
    We're gonna get the next one!
[04:24] All
    Yeah!
[04:27] Kita
    I'm pretty sure you could've
    followed up on that last one.
[04:30] Sawa
    Let's nail this one!
[04:36] Ann
    Serving for Karasuno is Azumane Asahi.
[04:38] Ann
    He's definitely one of their
    best servers,
[04:40] Ann
    but I'd say he's only been nailing
    about half of his serves today.
[04:43] Ann
    Things are still up in the air.
[04:46] Ann
    Well, their opponents do have the lead
    in the last part of the final set.
[04:50] Ann
    I'm pretty sure he's feeling even
     more pressure than he's used to.
[04:56] Azu
    One hundred percent...
[04:59] Inarizaki
    Bring it!
[05:15] Ann
    He did it! Azumane Asahi,
    showing us why he's the ace!
[05:19] Ann
    That's a no-touch ace!
[05:21] Crowd
    Nice, nice, Asahi! Push it, push it,
    Asahi! One more time!
[05:25] Guy
    Good job, samurai boy!
[05:27] Guy
    Kick-ass serve!
[05:30] Coach
    Damn those geezers!
[05:32] Atsu
    The Karasuno samurai...
[05:34] Atsu
    He probably starts off at around
    80 percent, and then gradually
[05:36] ---
    gets more and more powerful
    throughout the match,
[05:39] Atsu
    letting loose his full power
    in the final part of the final set.
[05:43] Atsu
    Man, I'm hungry, Samu!
[05:45] Osa
    Same here, Tsumu.
[05:47] All
    One more time!
[05:49] Aka
    Shinsuke!
[05:52] Aka
    Nice receive!
[05:54] Ann
    The captain, Kita, bumped that
    powerful serve up beautifully.
[05:57] Gin
    I have no idea if I could've
    gotten that, damn it.
[06:00] Ann
    Who's Miya Atsumu going to use?
[06:04] Kei
    Please come together...
[06:05] Kei
    for a powerful two-man block!
[06:08] Kei
    Yes!
[06:10] Kage
    Cover!
[06:10] Ryu
    Got it!
[06:14] Ojiro
    Nice receive!
[06:16] Atsu
    Man, what the hell?
[06:18] Atsu
    This is definitely it!
[06:20] Suga
    Wait, he's in the back
    row right now, isn't he?
[06:23] Atsu
    Right now...
[06:25] Atsu
    Every single time, "now" is
    the best chance we've got!
[06:31] Atsu
    Twins' quick...
[06:32] Osamu
    ...minus tempo...
[06:34] Both
    reverse!
[06:45] Crowd
    Nice follow-through!
[06:50] Yama
    I don't want to lose...
[06:51] Ryu
    We won't lose.
[06:53] Sawa
    We're not going to stop yet.
[06:55] (Flashback) Hina
    Now, just watch me get the next one!
[07:02] Sawa
    "I don't want to lose." "We have to win."
    How could we be so naïve?
[07:08] Sawa
    Victory and defeat... Those are just results!
[07:13] Tsuki
    Our concept doesn't change.
[07:15] Ryu
    This point right now...
[07:17] Sawa
    ...is what we're fighting for.
[07:21] All
    Synchronized attack!
[07:24] Kita
    During their match with Shiratorizawa,
[07:26] Kita
    they didn't attack from
    the back a single time.
[07:28] Kita
    It just happened once today as a
    surprise attack to cut off Atsumu's serves.
[07:33] Kita
    What's the point in doing an attack when
    you're abandoning your position as backup?
[07:40] Sawa
    I'm not here to protect my teammates.
[07:43] Sawa
    Each and every one of us
    is here to score!
SIGN    We Don't Need the Memories
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[08:06] Bg
    Yeah!
[08:07] Ann
    Karasuno managed to grab hold of
    the distant Inarizaki from behind!
[08:24] Team
    Yeah!
[08:25] Ann
    The goddess of victory turns
     her eyes toward Karasuno!
[08:26] Crowd
    Nice, nice, Kei! Push it, push it,
     Kei! One more time!
SIGN    Karasuno
[08:28] Ann
    Karasuno takes the lead!
[08:30] Ana
    Things seemed pretty grim after they
    couldn't score after Hinata-kun's save.
[08:36] Ana
    Ever since that time out,
[08:38] ---
    It seems like Karasuno is over
    whatever was dragging them down.
[08:43] Kage
    Damn, that was high.
[08:44] Ann
    Inarizaki's not wasting
     any time catching back up.
[08:50] Osamu
    I think these eight seconds are my
    second favorite, after chow time.
[08:59] Sawa
    Cover!
[09:00] Tana
    Kageyama, get the last!
[09:03] Ann
    He definitely went after their setter.
[09:05] Ojiro
    Osamu!
[09:06] Mika
    Hey, it's what they did earlier.
[09:08] Guy
    Nah... I can't imagine they'd try that
    unreliable quick again so soon.
[09:14] Kita
    They're definitely going to do it.
[09:18] Osamu
    You think so, too, don't you?
[09:25] Atsu
    One and a half blockers!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[09:31] Ann
    Inarizaki High takes the lead back again!
[09:35] Omimi
    One more!
[09:36] Kita
    Nice kill!
[09:37] Atsu
    Not bad, Samu!
[09:39] Osamu
    Right?!
[09:39] Atsu
    Yeah!
[09:40] Ann
    Looks like the Karasuno
    blockers were distracted
[09:43] Ann
    by Atsumu-kun on the right for a bit.
[09:44] Ann
    I see.
[09:45] Ann
    I'm sure they're exhausted,
    physically as well as mentally.
[09:51] Tsuki
    Damn, I want some carbs right now.
[10:00] Kage
    Tanaka-san!
[10:01] Sawa
    Three blockers!
[10:06] Kage
    Nice kill!
[10:07] Suga
    Yes, yes, yes! Great job!
[10:10] Hina
    Nice kill!
[10:13] Nishi And Hinata
    Yeah!
[10:14] Shima
    Tsukishima and Hinata still
    aren't the best servers,
[10:18] Shima
    so they're probably going to give up
    a point during this rotation.
[10:21] Shima
    But that being the case,
    if they're able to score here...
[10:26] Atsu
    Aran!
[10:27] Ojiro
    Got it!
[10:30] Hina
    Gotta touch it...
[10:32] ---
    Gotta touch it, gotta touch it,
    gotta touch it, gotta touch it...
[10:37] Ann
    And no one expected that setter dump!
[10:41] Atsu
    Hell yeah!
[10:43] Sawa
    Hey! Snap out of it!
    There's no time for regrets!
[10:48] Ann
    Right when Inarizaki's
    Kita moves to the front,
[10:51] Ann
    they're returning Ginjima to the court.
[10:52] Kita
    Nice serve.
[11:07] Aran
    Yes!
[11:09] Ann
    From a powerful serve to Ginjima
    slamming it down for the point!
[11:10] Gin
    Yeah!
[11:13] Ann
    Looks like Inarizaki's
    going for the checkmate!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[11:16] Crowd
    Nice kill, Hitoshi!
[11:19] Crowd
    Nice kill, Hitoshi! Push it, push it,
     Hitoshi! One more time!
[11:26] Sawa
    We're gonna stay calm.
[11:27] Tana
    We'll get that point!
[11:28] Azumane
    Concentrate!
[11:31] Guy
    Damn it, you've got this!
[11:33] Guy
    It doesn't matter if you're tired!
[11:36] Guy
    It doesn't matter how
    strong your opponent is!
[11:39] Guy
    Who the hell cares if you're
    already doing your best?
[11:43] Guy
    Try harder, damn it!
[11:55] Tana
    This is...
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[11:57] Tana
    This is crazy. It feels weird.
[12:00] Tana
    I think I'm actually on a roll.
[12:03] Tana
    I feel like I'm seeing blocks
    better than I usually do.
[12:06] Tana
    Maybe that's why...
[12:08] Tana
    That's why my instincts are
    telling me not to go any harder.
[12:14] (Flashback) Tana
    Kageyama...
[12:16] (Flashback) Tana
    I'm gonna swallow my pride
    and ask you to do this.
[12:19] (Flashback) Tana
    Cut back on how many sets
     you send my way for a bit.
[12:36] (Flashback) Kage
    No.
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[12:42] All
    Cover!
[12:44] Kage
    Tanaka-san!
[12:59] Nishi
    Kageyama!
[13:05] Ann
    Karasuno follows one quick with another!
[13:07] Ann
    But Ojiro managed to get the ball up!
[13:09] Ann
    Can someone follow through?
[13:11] Shima
    They're not gonna be able
    to get a decent attack.
[13:15] Osamu
    Scary...
[13:20] Ann
    Both setters are some of
    the best in the nation!
[13:22] Ann
    They're showing off some insane moves!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[13:27] (Flashback) Kage
    No.
[13:30] (Flashback) Kage
    We need your attacks, Tanaka-san.
[13:35] Ryu
    That...
[13:37] Ryu
    That wasn't him trying to
    make me feel better...
[13:40] Nishi
    Kageyama!
[13:41] (Flashback) Kei
    It's normal not to know
    what others are thinking.
[13:45] (Flashback) Kei
    You need to know the current state of
    the game and your teammates' conditions.
[13:50] Kage
    Ever since the end of the first set, Tanaka-san
    definitely hasn't been doing bad at all.
[13:55] Kage
    He's been staying calm even
    at times he'd usually go crazy.
[13:59] Kage
    That insane cut shot he
    pulled off was amazing, too.
[14:02] Kage
    But is that really Tanaka-san's best weapon?
[14:07] (Flashback) Suga
    Everyone on our team is strong,
    as they should be.
[14:11] Kage
    No, that's not for me to decide.
[14:17] Suga
    After connecting so many insane attacks,
[14:20] Suga
    even at the end of this match, with long rallies,
    recovering from messed-up receives...
[14:26] Suga
    It's not too short, not too long,
    not too close or too far.
[14:29] Suga
    A beautiful toss stretches over our side.
[14:33] Kage
    Send it further... to the very edge.
[14:36] Kage
    I need to give my spikers options!
[14:41] Kei
    Ever since that insane cut shot,
[14:44] Kei
    it's subtle, but the blockers are
    definitely shifting for a cross.
[14:49] Kei
    The other path that Tanaka
    pried open for us...
[14:53] Ryu
    That wasn't him trying
    to make me feel better...
[14:56] Ryu
    All of this trust that he's put in me...
[14:59] Ryu
    I'm going to see it through!
[15:12] Kage
    An insanely sharp line shot!
SIGN    Fly
[15:21] Ann
    I can't believe how sharp that line shot was!
[15:24] Ryu
    Yeah!
[15:26] Ann
    Tanaka Ryunosuke makes his
    presence known once again!
[15:30] Ann
    That really was an insane straight
    shot right onto the line!
[15:32] Ann
    His positioning suggested
    another cross, but...
[15:36] Nishinoya
    Nice, Ryu!
[15:50] Ryu
    Nice toss!
[15:52] Kage
    Nice kill.
[15:53] Atsu
    Where... Where the hell'd Goody Two-Shoes go?
[15:59] Atsu
    What the hell happened in
    this short amount of time?
[16:06] Ann
    Karasuno High School's Tanaka Ryunosuke
[16:09] ---
    just sliced through Inarizaki's
    defense with that shot!
[16:21] Kid
    That guy's weird.

    Ma-kun, shh!
SIGN    Haikyu!!
SIGN    Haikyu!!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[16:42] Ann
    Karasuno shows no signs of slowing down,
     but Inarizaki's at match point.
[16:47] Ann
    A service error or a serve
    that's too easy to receive...
[16:51] Ann
    will mean that Karasuno loses.
[16:56] Hina
    I know I don't need to guard my head, but...
[16:59] Hina
    I still want to protect the back of my head!
[17:10] Atsu
    Seriously, what the hell's his deal?
SIGN    Fly
[17:15] Ann
    Did you see those nerves of steel?!
    His unbreakable concentration!
[17:19] Ann
    An amazing service ace that
    ties them up once again!
[17:23] Ann
    Way to go, Kageyama Tobio!
[17:26] ---
    Yes!
[17:27] Guy
    This is going beyond amazing to annoying.
[17:34] All
    Bring it!
[17:42] Kei
    Seriously...
[17:44] Kei
    His game today...
[17:46] Atsumu
    Up front!
[17:47] Ann
    At the very last possible second,
[17:49] ---
    Kageyama seemed to know exactly
    what the receivers were thinking,
[17:51] Ann
    and drops the serve up front!
[17:53] Nishi
    Free ball!
[18:00] Ann
    With lightning speed, Karasuno
    gets one right down the middle!
[18:02] Hina
    Yeah!
[18:05] Ann
    They knew their opponents
    were thrown off their game!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[18:08] Ann
    What an incredibly fast hit down the middle!
[18:10] Ann
    Now Karasuno's nearing checkmate!
[18:26] Crowd
    Nice receive!
[18:27] Aran
    You're only the ace if you
    can attack and defend!
[18:37] Ann
    They knew exactly what they were
    doing there! Ginjima scores on the left.
[18:40] Ann
    I'm pretty sure they're all exhausted by now,
[18:43] Ann
    but they didn't give the blockers even
    the slightest hint. What a beautiful set.
[18:49] Guy
    Even though we're at the
    very end of the game,
[18:52] ---
    he's not thrown off at all,
    and he seems to know what they're thinking.
[18:55] Guy
    Did you see Atsumu-kun's set?
[18:57] Guy
    That guy's definitely a genius...
[18:59] ---
    It's painful playing the
    same position as him.
[19:01] Guy
    Kageyama's serves are crazy, too.
[19:04] Guy
    Man, I wish I had talent, too.
[19:06] Kita
    I don't remember when, but I was asked...
[19:11] Kita
    "You're not a starter,"
[19:13] ---
    "so isn't it hard to have such a genius player
     who's younger than you on the same team?"
[19:18] Kita
    I'm not sure what qualifies
    as a "genius," but...
[19:24] Kita
    I understood what they were trying to say.
[19:27] Kita
    There happen to be people who think
[19:29] ---
    that someone like Atsumu was just
    born a talented player. But...
[19:35] Kita
    Everything I do every day,
    from a scale of one to ten,
[19:38] Kita
    guys like Atsumu do on a
    scale of one to twenty.
[19:42] Kita
    Or it's a more effective ten,
     or a denser ten.
[19:47] Kita
    And sometimes, instead of one to ten,
     they try things from A to Z.
[19:53] ---
    That's what goes through their heads.
[19:58] Kita
    Even if they mess up sometimes,
    or they're hated by strangers,
[20:02] Kita
    or cast out... even if they completely ignore
    something we'd consider important...
[20:07] Kita
    They just have to do it.
[20:10] Kita
    Even if they start coughing up blood,
    they're the guys who just wanna keep running.
[20:15] Atsumu
    One touch!
[20:17] Kita
    There are plenty of guys in this
    world who we're no match for,
[20:21] Kita
    and it's natural to find
    people like that amazing.
[20:25] Kita
    I think being able to dive headfirst
    into things is a talent in and of itself,
[20:29] Kita
    and it doesn't matter what you call them.
[20:32] Kita
    And it's not like genius is an insult...
[20:35] Kita
    But if you're thinking they're
    geniuses from the start,
[20:41] Kita
    that just means you've lost before
    you even had a match with them.
[20:44] Kita
    And it's rude.
[20:47] Nishi
    Sorry, it's long!
[20:47] Ann
    Karasuno manages to get another one!
[20:49] Ann
    What a long rally!
    A rally of sheer willpower!
[20:57] Kage
    Damn it... Just five more centimeters...
[21:00] ---
    You should be able to reach that!
[21:02] Kage
    Jump higher! Reach!
[21:08] Kage
    Damn it!
[21:17] Ann
    His foot!
[21:18] Ann
    Hinata Shoyo shows incredible
    balance and skill!
SIGN    Inarizaki Karasuno
[21:22] Ann
    Karasuno somehow manages to stop
    Inarizaki from getting a break point!
[21:26] Ann
    Wow, I'm sure Hinata-kun messes
    around with the ball all the time.
[21:30] Kage
    Damn it! Don't get exhausted now!
[21:34] Kita
    I know you didn't mean anything by it.
     Sorry for going on that rant.
[21:39] Guy
    No, uh... I think it'd be worse
    if I said that without thinking.
[21:45] Guy
    Damn it, my brain is gonna be sore tonight.
