[00:00] Oikawa
    Chance ball!
[00:00] Iwa
    Left!
[00:08] Hina
    The final set...
[00:10] (Flashback) Ike
    Win! Then win some more!
[00:17] Hina
    If we lose this...
[00:20] ---
    It'll be over.

SIGN    Episode 23: The Point that Changes the Momentum
[01:56] Tana
    Nice receive!
[01:59] Kinda
    #10!
[02:02] (Flashback) Iwa
    They've probably changed to different
    signs for their god-like quicks.
[02:06] (Flashback) Oikawa
    Because they're such simple signs,
    it would be pretty easy to change them.
[02:11] (Flashback) Kinda
    Still, there's got to be a
    way to tell them apart.
[02:13] (Flashback) Matsu
    Maybe when they keep their eye on
    the ball longer, it's a normal quick,
[02:17] (Flashback) Matsu
    and when they just go for it,
    it'll be the god-like quick?
[02:20] (Flashback) Hana
    In general, it's probably best
    if we keep our eyes on #10.
[02:23] (Flashback) Kinda
    Right.
[02:25] (Flashback) Person
    #10...
[02:25] (Flashback) Oikawa
    But, in the end, the shrimp
    is just efficient decoy.
[02:28] (Flashback) Oikawa
    Don't forget that. Okay?
[02:31] (Flashback) Kinda
    Right!
[02:31] (Flashback) All
    Right!
[02:31] (Flashback) Kind
    All right!
[02:39] Kage
    We can't get the shot that will end this.
[02:41] Glasses
    This rally is going on forever.
[02:43] Blonde
    Overall, Seijoh's better
    at everything, but...
[02:47] Sawa
    A feint!
[02:49] Blonde
    ...their libero has far
    better defensive skills.
[02:50] Nishi
    All right!
[02:52] Nishi
    Asahi-san!
[02:57] Person
    The setter received that?!
[02:58] Person
    Now he can't toss!
[03:00] Person
    He'll have to attack now.
[03:02] Person
    Probably to the left.
[03:04] Oikawa
    Watacchi!
[03:05] Watari
    Right!
SIGN    Karasuno Aoba Johsai
[03:13] Seijoh
    All right!
[03:14] Coach
    I've been wondering this, but...
[03:17] Teach
    Hm?
[03:18] Coach
    I think Seijoh's libero
[03:19] Coach
    was formerly a setter.
[03:22] Teach
    What do you mean?
[03:22] Watari
    Thanks!
[03:25] Coach
    If the libero lifts the ball
    from in front of the attack line,
[03:29] Coach
    it's illegal to do an overhand
    spike from behind the line.
[03:33] Coach
    Just now, that libero jumped
    up at the very edge of the line
[03:36] ---
    and set while in midair.
[03:38] Coach
    Which means, a spike was totally fine.
[03:41] Coach
    They can use high-level attacks.
[03:43] Teach
    This is why they call
     Aoba Johsai a powerhouse.
[03:51] Sawa
    All right!
[03:52] Tana
    Daichi-san, nice receive!
[03:53] Kage
    Asahi-san!
[03:58] Sawa
    The ball's going back!
[03:59] Hina
    I'll push it over!
[04:10] Seijoh
    All right!
[04:12] Kage
    He did a toss that close to the edge...
[04:17] Hina
    Awesome.
[04:22] Coach
    All right! You're all fighting well!
[04:25] ---
    Keep cool!
[04:26] Karasu
    Right!
[04:27] Coach
    It looks like they're getting used
    to attacks that cut into the middle,
[04:31] Coach
    so use the sides of the
    court as much as you can!
[04:34] Karasu
    Right!
[04:35] Suga
    What's with the lack of
    holes in Seijoh's attacks?
[04:39] Suga
    No matter what situation they're put in,
[04:41] ---
    they're able to counter with powerful
    attacks, like it's nothing.
[04:45] Sawa
    Let's go!
[04:46] Kara
    Right!
[04:47] Coach
    Because Sugawara went in once,
[04:49] ---
    Karasuno was definitely able
    to pick itself back up.
[04:52] Coach
    Now they're not nervous or overly aggressive.
[04:55] Coach
    Right now, everyone's probably using
    their current strength to the fullest.
[04:59] Coach
    That might be exactly why
[05:01] Coach
    we're seeing the difference
    in their strength as a team.
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[05:08] Iwa
    Damn it...
[05:10] Tana
    Nice, Tsukishima!
[05:11] ---
    You keep showing up with that annoying
    feint when everyone's forgotten about it.
[05:14] Tsuki
    Phrasing...
[05:15] Teach
    With every player performing
    at 100% of their ability,
[05:16] Sawa
    Come on! Talk more!
[05:18] Nishi
    Keep it up!
[05:18] ---
    Seijoh is probably the stronger team.
[05:21] Teach
    But sometimes they'll only use 70%
    and then bounce up to 120% of their ability.
[05:29] Teach
    That's how things can play out
    during a match, right?
[05:33] Teach
    And Karasuno has the ultimate decoy
    who can let everyone attack at 120% of their ability.
[05:41] Hinata
    Awesome. Awesome. Seijoh's awesome!
[05:44] Hinata
    Out. Out! I want to hurry and get out.
[05:46] Hinata
    I want to hurry and go out. Out! Out!
[05:48] Suga
    Hinata.
[05:49] Hinata
    Yes?
[05:50] Suga
    Do you remember what Ukai-san said?
[05:52] Hinata
    About attacking both sides of the
    court as much as possible?
[05:55] Suga
    Right. That's the best attack.
[05:59] Suga
    We haven't used that much this time around.
[06:06] Oikawa
    Yes!
[06:07] Oikawa
    This sucks.
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[06:09] Oikawa
    Our team is settling into a rhythm, and yet
[06:13] Oikawa
    if that little sucky guy
    enters the court...
[06:18] Oikawa
    I can't help but be uneasy about that.
[06:21] Oikawa
    A small beast that's gathered its
    frustrations while in the warm up zone.
[06:27] Suga
    Karasuno is fighting back in the final set,
[06:28] Yama
    One more!
[06:28] Nishi
    Go! One more!
[06:29] Yama
    Go, Shoyo!
[06:32] Suga
    yet we don't stand a chance against Seijoh.
[06:35] Suga
    If we're going to get even
    one step ahead of them,
[06:39] Sug
    it'll be up to them.
[06:41] Suga
    Give Karasuno that one step!
[06:46] Iwa
    Nice receive!
[06:47] Hana
    Left! Left!
[06:48] Iwa
    Two blocks!
[06:49] Tana
    Kageyama, nice one-touch!
[06:51] Sawa
    Chance ball!
[06:54] Hinata
    "The sides of the court
[06:56] ---
    as much as possible."
[06:58] Oikawa
    Here it is!
[06:59] Oikawa
    The attack that seems to
    rip through the air:
[07:03] Oikawa
    that broad cross!
SIGN    Rule the Court
[07:17] Karasu
    Nice shot, Hinata!
[07:20] Oikawa
    Crap.
[07:22] Oikawa
    We can't let those two stay
    on the court too long
[07:25] ---
    after they've gotten fired up.
[07:32] Oikawa
    Makki, nice!
[07:33] Hana
    All right!
[07:34] Oikawa
    Bring it around, bring it around!
[07:36] Oikawa
    Hurry and bring the rotation around.
[07:37] Oikawa
    Bring the shrimp
[07:39] Oikawa
    one step closer to the back line!
[07:43] Hana
    Got it!
[07:46] Haruka
    The ball's not coming down. So amazing.
[07:46] Oikawa
    Nice cover, Makki!
[07:47] Sawa
    It's coming back!
[07:49] Sawa
    Chance ball!
SIGN    Fly
[07:52] Iwa
    Again?!

    "The sides of the court
[07:55] Kage
    as much as possible."
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[07:59] Karasu
    All right!
[08:02] Haru
    That little guy's amazing.
[08:04] Glasses
    Volleyball, more than anything,
[08:05] ---
    is a sport where you keep
    jumping continuously,
[08:08] Glasses
    so I believe it's also a battle with gravity.
[08:10] Glasses
    Jumping as decoy,
[08:12] ---
    jumping to block,
[08:13] ---
    and jumping to spike.
[08:16] Sawa
    Nishinoya, nice cover!
[08:18] Glasses
    As the rally keeps going,
[08:20] Tanaka
    Go back! Go back!
    One more! One more!
[08:22] ---
    fatigue sets in and your mental faculties decline.
[08:22] Iwa
    Left, left!
[08:23] Oikawa
    We're gonna stop them one more time!
[08:25] Glasses
    To be honest, you want
    to skip the blocking,
[08:28] Glasses
    and I've had times where I hoped
    someone else would spike it.
[08:32] Blonde
    When long rallies continue and I get
    deprived of oxygen, I think,
[08:37] Blonde
    "Hurry up and drop, ball...
    Preferably on the other side."
[08:41] Hina
    Bring it!
[08:46] Hina
    If I slow down even for a moment,
    it'll delay everyone else.
[08:51] Hina
    At my height, if I ease off
    on my jumps even a little,
[08:54] Hina
    I'll be shot down in an instant.
[08:58] Hina
    Run! Run!
[09:00] Hina
    Jump! Jump!
[09:02] Hina
    If you want to stay here!
[09:04] Iwa
    Like hell
[09:06] Iwa
    am I going to let you spike freely!
[09:10] Kage
    Right now, the sides of the court...
[09:14] Kage
    And then...
[09:18] Kage
    Break through the middle!
[09:23] Both
    Pipe penetration!
[09:25] All
    Nice point!
[09:26] Suga
    Hinata!
[09:29] Iwa
    Damn it!
[09:30] Matsu
    Sorry. I totally got lured out.
[09:34] Kage
    I knew that this would be the
    perfect timing for a pipe,
[09:39] Kage
    and yet... just now...
[09:42] Kage
    I was about to toss to Hinata.
[09:44] Kage
    I was about to have my toss taken.
[09:45] Azu
    Nice determination, Hinata!
[09:46] Hina
    Thanks!
[09:49] Kage
    The ultimate... decoy.
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[09:53] Person
    Karasuno caught up.
[09:54] Person
    They're tied.
[09:56] Yama
    I'll go get the towels.
[09:57] Shi
    Thanks.
[09:58] Sawa
    Thanks.
[10:05] Yama
    The rallies are lasting a lot longer
    than the first and second set.
[10:09] Yama
    That's got to be tiring.
[10:11] Yama
    But...
[10:14] Yama
    I'm jealous.
[10:17] Hana
    What are we going to do
    about #10's broad cross?
[10:25] Person
    Let's get rid
[10:29] Person
    of that broad cross.
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[10:50] Sawa
    Tanaka, nice point!
[10:53] Kage
    In the next rotation,
    Hinata will be in the back line.
[10:56] Kage
    Hey! Are you all right?
[10:58] Hina
    I-I'm fine...
[11:01] Kage
    Make sure you cash in all you've got
    before moving into the back line.
[11:04] Mata
    I know that!
[11:05] Mata
    Kunimi, nice receive!
[11:06] Oikawa
    Kindachi!

    #12! #12!
[11:10] Sawa
    Nishinoya, nice receive!
[11:11] Hina
    Chance!
[11:12] Blonde
    Is he going to do another
    broad... or wait... Huh?
[11:18] Glasses
    No mark?
[11:19] Blonde
    Did they give up on the block?
[11:21] Tana
    All right! Go free, Hinata!
[11:30] Watari
    I can see really well.
[11:33] Iwa
    Nice receive!
[11:34] Sawa
    Was there no mark on purpose?!
[11:36] Azu
    In this short amount of time...
[11:37] Azu
    Just how fast at
    switching gears are they?
[11:45] Both
    Now a dump?!
[11:47] Coach
    A dump attack taking advantage
    of our moment of hesitation.
[11:52] (Flashback) Iri
    Let's get rid of that broad.
[11:54] (Flashback) ---
    Get rid of it? How?
[11:56] (Flashback) Oikawa
    That shrimp's broad is god-like.
[12:00] (Flashback) Oikawa
    It's really fast, but his
    body will go with the momentum,
[12:04] (Flashback) Oikawa
    so he won't be able to redirect the ball.
[12:07] (Flashback) Iri
    Yeah.
[12:09] (Flashback) Oikawa
    Instead of blocking that
    broad cross, we'll use a dig.
[12:12] (Flashback) Watari
    Right!
[12:13] (Flashback) Iwa
    An unstoppable block is just going to
    get in the way of receiving the ball.
[12:18] (Flashback) Iri
    No matter how difficult things get,
    don't forget to think and communicate!
[12:23] Oikawa
    Nice receive!
[12:25] Coach
    We can't even bring Seijoh
    down with that!
[12:28] Coach
    Damn. Right when we don't
    want them to get ahead,
[12:31] Coach
    his turn to serve comes up.
[12:37] Sawa
    We'll end this in one!
[12:38] Nishi
    Right!
SIGN    Rule the Court
[12:44] Seijoh
    Net in! All right! Lucky!
[12:47] Coach
    There's nothing you could have
    done about that. Move on.
[12:51] Sawa
    Damn it. We're two points behind again.
[12:53] Sawa
    Stay calm.
[13:00] Nishi
    Sorry! Cover!
[13:02] Both
    All right!
[13:02] Both
    Got it!
[13:04] Sawa
    Kageyama!
[13:05] Sawa
    Asahi, last!
[13:07] Blonde
    That was close!
[13:09] Kamo
    Calm down! Don't lose your cool!
[13:16] Haru
    This isn't ending any time soon...
[13:19] Glasses
    When you make it through a long rally,
[13:21] ---
    you can shift the game's momentum.
[13:23] Glasses
    With this rally, getting that one
    point will be crucial.
[13:28] Sawa
    Cover!
[13:30] Azu
    I'm not going to let you have it...
    the point, or our momentum!
[13:34] Glasses
    It connected!
[13:34] Blonde
    But who'll get the last hit?
[13:36] Hina
    Center!
[13:38] Nishi
    Shoyo, we're counting on you!
[13:41] All
    Break through!
[13:43] All
    Stop him!
[13:50] Three
    All right!
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[13:54] Blonde
    Damn. They've used up their two timeouts.
[13:58] Kamo
    It can't be helped.
[14:00] Kamo
    They've got to physically break
    that momentum with a timeout,
[14:02] Kamo
    or Seijoh's going to take control.
[14:05] Blonde
    A-At times like this,
    your voice is important!
[14:06] Coach
    Something... Isn't there something?
[14:07] Blonde
    Make sure you're using your voice!
[14:08] ---
    Something to change the momentum?
[14:09] Blonde
    Go, go, Karasuno!
[14:09] Glasses
    Push it, push it, Karasuno!
[14:10] Coach
    It doesn't have to be a trump card.
    Just something...
[14:12] Blonde
    Hey, first it's "go, go."
[14:12] Coach
    Anything to give us a change.
[14:14] Blonde
    Match me!
[14:25] Blonde
    Seijoh touched net. Thank goodness!
[14:26] Kinda
    I'm sorry.
[14:27] Iwa
    Don't mind.
[14:29] ---
    But...
[14:30] Oikawa
    The shrimp's on the back line!
[14:32] Nishi
    We're counting on you.
[14:33] Tsuki
    Right.
[14:35] Glasses
    If they miss here, Seijoh will
    have the advantage at 20 points.
[14:35] Sawa
    Hinata, relax!
[14:36] Hina
    Right!
[14:38] Glasses
    If they take the momentum,
     we won't be able to catch up.
[14:42] Blonde
    Hey, Shimada, look at that.
[14:49] Glasses
    T-Tadashi's the pinch server?!
[14:54] Glasses
    What is Keishin thinking?!
    He's an idiot!
[14:57] Glasses
    I told him that it's still mostly pure luck!
[15:00] Blonde
    I think he wants even that pure luck.
[15:04] Blonde
    You don't know what's going
    to change the momentum.
[15:10] Hana
    Karasuno's got a pinch server?
[15:12] Watari
    Are they good at serves?
[15:13] ---
    Or are they just simply trying
    to change the atmosphere?
[15:16] Iwa
    Either way, we're not giving you this flow.
[15:20] Hina
    Yamaguchi, nice serve!
[15:22] Hina
    But I'm not gonna lose!
[15:25] Yama
    He doesn't want to be pulled
    out, even for a moment.
[15:28] Coach
    Yamaguchi.
[15:29] Goach
    Go and change the momentum.
[15:31] Yama
    R-Right!
[15:33] Yama
    This line...
[15:36] Yama
    Everything beyond this
    line is a different world.
[15:44] Yama
    It feels like the temperature
    on this side... is different.
[15:52] Tana
    You got a great spot, Yamaguchi!
[15:54] Yama
    Right!
[15:55] Sawa
    Blast them one, Yamaguchi!
[15:57] Kage
    Nice serve!
[15:58] Asahi
    N-Nice serve. Take it easy.
[16:01] Sawa
    Asahi, do you understand the
    meaning of "take it easy"?
[16:04] Tana
    Anyone would be scared at this timing.
[16:07] Azu
    This is his first serve at his
    first high school match!
[16:10] Azu
    Is the coach a super sadist?!
[16:12] Sawa
    I'm nervous, too.
    Crap, Yamaguchi will feel that.
[16:14] Sawa
    Stay calm...
[16:16] Kage
    I think the back of my head is a little
    safer than if Hinata was serving.
[16:19] En
    Is that all right?
[16:20] En
    He already has enough reason to be nervous,
[16:23] ---
    but won't there be more pressure
    from playing with his seniors?
[16:26] Sugi
    Oh, right.
[16:28] Suga
    Hey, Yamaguchi!
[16:32] All
    Hit a nice serve!
SIGN    Aoba Johsai Karasuno
[16:47] Blonde
    Dang... He's so stiff.
[16:49] Glsses
    It can't be helped.
[16:51] Glasses
    Relying on your team is most of volleyball.
[16:53] ---
    Serving is the only time you're alone.
[16:56] Glasses
    Everyone will be looking at you,
[16:58] Glasses
    and you've got all the pressure.
[17:00] Yama
    I'm scared... but...
[17:03] Glasses
    But when you're standing in the serve
    position, you're the center of attention,
[17:07] ---
    no matter who you are.

    The captain's amazing.
    I'm still no match for him.
[18:24] Tana
    Man, but I feel relieved,
     like most of the pressure's gone.
[18:28] Azu
    Same here.
[18:29] Yuko
    Eh? So he got brought out
    here because of a pinch,
[18:32] ---
    but if he fails, he'll be pulled out?
[18:34] Haru
    That's sort of sad.
[18:36] Glasses
    That's the job of a pinch server.
[18:39] Glasses
    That one shot
[18:40] ---
    has both the game's momentum
    and their pride riding on it.
[18:44] Glasses
    And Tadashi messed up.
[18:47] Glasses
    But this chance to feel this
    regret and his own helplessness
[18:52] ---
    will definitely make him stronger.
[18:59] Yuko
    Did the black team cheer up of a sudden?
[19:01] Glasses
    It's just like Tattsun says...
[19:04] Glasses
    You don't know
[19:06] Glasses
    what's going to change the momentum.
[19:09] Sawa
    Next...
[19:10] Sawa
    The chance to fight next...
[19:13] Sawa
    Grab it!
[19:15] Tana
    Daichi-san, nice receive!
[19:15] Blond
    All right. Don't let them break the streak!
[19:18] Glasses
    Though it looks so close,
    Seijoh's back is so far.
[19:22] Coach
    If they can't get any points now, Karasuno
    will just have to wait and lose.
[19:29] Oikawa
    Cover! Cover!
[19:30] ---
    Is he spiking from lower because he's tired?
[19:33] Oikawa
    Kunimi-chan!
[19:36] Guy
    They're so high-level...
[19:36] Iwa
    Nice cover!
[19:37] Person
    This is the third game?

[20:06] Tana
    Yeah!
[20:11] Tana
    The ball in front of me... Everything!
[20:15] Oikawa
    His foot! He kicked it!
[20:23] Sugi
    All right!
[20:23] Tsukki
    Looks painful.
[20:25] Coach
    Nice, Hinata!

[21:32] Kage
    One more!
[21:32] Azu
    Nice serve!
[21:34] Tana
    If I miss this serve, the game will be over.
[21:38] Tana
    Even if they are able to receive
    it, and do a decent attack,
[21:41] Tana
    it'll all be over.
[21:44] Tana
    A quick is coming!
    Make sure you don't drop it!
[21:47] Tana
    At least...
[21:50] Tana
    Touch it!
[21:53] Blonde
    Crap! It's going past the net!
[21:56] ---
    They're going to hit it head on!

    One-hand toss!
[22:23] All
