***SIGN*** Episode 24: Monsters' Ball
**[01:37] Atsumu**
One touch!
**[01:39] Kita**
There are plenty of guys in this
world who we're no match for,
**[01:43] Kita**
and it's natural to find
people like that amazing.
**[01:46] Guy**
Got it!
**[01:48] Kita**
But if you're thinking they're
geniuses from the start,
**[01:53] Kita**
that just means you've lost before
you even had a match with them.
**[01:57] Kita**
And it's rude.
**[01:59] Nishi**
Sorry, it's long!
**[02:05] Kage**
*Damn it... Just five more centimeters...*
**[02:07] Kage**
*You should be able to reach that!*
**[02:09] Kage**
*Jump higher! Reach!*
**[02:24] Ann**
His foot!
**[02:26] Ann**
Hinata Shoyo shows incredible
balance and skill!
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[02:29] Ann**
Karasuno somehow manages to stop
Inarizaki from getting a break point!
**[02:34] Kage**
*Damn it! Don't get exhausted now!*
**[02:42] Kage**
Complain, damn it!
**[02:44] Hina**
Complain? Why?
**[02:47] Hina**
Gimme the next one, too!
**[02:53] Tana**
* I thought Kageyama had nothing*
* to be scared of anymore.*
**[02:58] Tana**
*But...*
**[03:00] Tana**
* It's not just the enemy that can*
* push you beyond your limits.*
**[03:08] Atsumu**
*I'm moved, Shoyo-kun.*
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[03:18] Ann**
Inarizaki's cutting things off instantly now.
**[03:20] Ann**
This goes for both schools,
**[03:22] ---**
but their ability to go straight for the
middle when they're in trouble is amazing.
**[03:26] Suna**
* There are times where Atsumu's*
* concentration suddenly breaks.*
**[03:31] Suna**
* But today, it actually feels like*
* it just keeps getting sharper.*
**[03:38] Bowl**
But I do think that monsters exist.
**[03:42] Kita**
Yeah, so do I.
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
**[03:45] Kita**
There are monsters who profess
their love for volleyball every day.
**[03:48] Kita**
Getting to meet them,
stand on the same court with them,
**[03:51] Kita**
and face them on the other side of the net...
**[03:54] Kita**
I was invited to the monsters' ball.
**[03:59] Kita**
Aren't I lucky?
**[04:08] Sawa**
Our only option is to get through this!
**[04:12] All**
Yeah!
**[04:15] Ana**
*Miya Atsumu's serving.*
**[04:17] Ana**
* He had been concentrating his*
* efforts on competing with Nishinoya-kun.*
**[04:21] Ana**
* But we don't know who*
* he'll bare his fangs at next.*
**[04:26] Ana**
* The pressure the Karasuno receivers*
* must be feeling is unfathomable.*
**[04:46] Ann**
Following right after Karasuno's Kageyama,
**[04:48] ---**
Inarizaki's Miya Atsumu just
pulled off a service ace!
**[04:51] Ann**
It's hard to believe that a high school student
could pull off such a high-level serve.
**[04:53] Crowd**
Nice serve, Atsumu! Nice serve, Atsumu!
Go, go, Atsumu! One more time!
**[04:55] Ann**
Hope and despair just
keep chasing each other.
**[04:58] Guy**
Scary...
**[04:59] Guy**
It just passes by in a blink of an eye.
**[05:02] Crowd**
One more point! One more point!
**[05:04] Ann**
And Inarizaki is at match point!
**[05:08] Crowd**
One more point! One more point!
**[05:10] Kei**
Hey.
**[05:13] Kei**
We don't need any miracles.
**[05:20] Sawa**
Things like this keep happening every time.
**[05:26] Guy**
Karasuno's not scared?
**[05:28] Guy**
They're hanging on the edge,
and Miya Atsumu's serving!
**[05:33] Sawa**
* One step back, and it's*
* over a cliff's edge.*
**[05:36] Sawa**
*You never get used to this.*
**[05:39] Sawa**
* My hands and knees feel like*
* they're going to shake.*
**[05:42] Sawa**
*But... we're not trying for a miracle here.*
**[05:46] Sawa**
*We're just going to repeat the same thing*
**[05:49] Sawa**
*we've done time and time again.*
**[06:07] Tana**
Daichi-san!
**[06:09] Ann**
Just like a silent roar!
**[06:11] Ann**
After that graceful jump float serve,
**[06:13] ---**
he shakes up Karasuno with
an intense spike serve!
**[06:17] Sawa**
It's gonna go past the net!
**[06:25] Kage**
*I'm not going to lose! I'm not going to lose!*
**[06:30] (Flashback) Hina**
Gimme the next one, too!
**[06:32] Kage**
*I'm not going to... lose...*
**[06:38] Kage**
*to him!*
**[06:40] Suna**
Seriously?
**[06:46] Ann**
Hinata Shoyo goes down the center!
**[06:48] Ann**
Kageyama Tobio manages to set the ball
that was about to go over the net!
**[06:52] Ann**
That was such a high hit!
**[06:54] Ann**
It's as though Hinata-kun has wings!
**[06:56] Ann**
And then there's Kageyama-kun!
I can't believe he got it to him!
**[07:01] Osamu**
The hell?
**[07:03] Tana**
Well done, Hinata!
**[07:03] Atsumu**
It's not that he believes in the setter.
**[07:04] Hina**
Thanks!
**[07:05] Nishi**
Nice kill, Shoyo!
**[07:06] Atsumu**
He just believes that
the ball will come to him.
**[07:07] Hina**
Thanks!
**[07:08] Nishi**
Way to get in there!
**[07:09] Hina**
I thought I had a chance!
**[07:10] Atsumu**
"You'll get the ball up here, won't you?"
**[07:11] Nishi**
You've got guts!
**[07:12] Tana**
Got scared for a sec there!
**[07:15] Atsumu**
*You've got my condolences, Tobio-kun.*
**[07:17] Atsumu**
*You've got one scary partner there.*
**[07:22] Osamu**
What's so weird about that?
**[07:28] Atsu**
All of you guys need to
consider how others feel!
**[07:31] Osamu**
Huh? That wasn't funny at all.
**[07:33] Osamu**
What are you...
**[07:34] Atsu**
It wasn't meant as a joke!
**[07:41] Kage**
*I win.*
**[07:43] Hina**
What? Stop looking at me like that!
**[07:45] Hina**
I'm the one who scored the point!
**[07:46] Hina**
Hey!
**[07:47] Kage**
*It's all because of me, but...*
**[07:49] Kage**
Nice kill.
**[07:51] Hina**
Don't say that with that face!
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[07:54] Nishi**
Nice serve!
**[07:55] Guy**
Good, good, good.
**[07:57] Guy**
Their #10 is finally out for a while.
**[08:00] Shima**
*Two more turns and Azumane will serve!*
**[08:02] Shima**
*That's probably going to be their best bet!*
**[08:04] Shima**
*Make sure they don't get a break until then!*
**[08:08] Tsuki**
*Man, I'm tired.*
**[08:11] Tsuki**
*Tired of running and full-on jumping...*
**[08:14] Tsuki**
*Of their setter I can't read.*
**[08:18] Atsu**
The front! The front! Samu!
**[08:27] Tsuki**
* If I could stuff him right now, I'm sure*
* the whole team would lose their minds.*
**[08:33] Tsuki**
*But I can't.*
**[08:38] Tsuki**
*So you better be there...*
**[08:44] Ann**
And middle blocker Hinata Shoyo
gets the ball up again!
**[08:48] Ann**
Excellent positioning!
**[08:50] Both**
Shoyo-san!
**[08:52] Hina**
* Aw, damn it... I've known*
* this for a while, but...*
**[08:57] Hina**
*He's just...*
**[09:00] Hina**
*so damn good at blocking!*
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
***SIGN*** Inarizaki High School Volleyball Club
**[09:04] Shima**
I don't care if it's God,
Buddha, or a goddess...
***SIGN*** Karasuno Taiko
**[09:08] Shima**
*Let us have this one point... Please!*
**[09:11] Both**
*Counter!*
**[09:15] Hina**
*Back minus!*
**[09:23] Gin**
Nice receive!
**[09:26] Mika**
How do you even get that ball?
**[09:29] Mika**
Who's that guy again? The libero?
That was amazing...
**[09:32] Guy**
That receive was amazing,
**[09:34] ---**
but the blockers set things up
so that he could get it.
**[09:38] Guy**
The spikers, who try to break
through those blocks and receives...
**[09:43] Guy**
The setters, who try to create the
optimal situation for the spiker...
**[09:47] Guy**
The servers, who give it their all
so the setters won't have to work.
**[09:51] Guy**
They all work together until
the ball hits the ground.
**[09:54] Guy**
If you lose your train of thought
for even one second...
**[09:56] Guy**
You get left behind.
**[09:59] Tsuki**
*Damn it.*
**[10:00] Tsuki**
* My mind's clear... But my*
* legs aren't keeping up.*
**[10:12] Tsuki**
Sorry.
**[10:14] Guy**
Karasuno's can barely stay on their feet.
**[10:18] Tana**
Kageyama!
**[10:21] Suga**
You've got this... You've got this.
**[10:25] Kage**
Azumane-san!
**[10:30] Kogane**
It's beautiful...
**[10:33] Azu**
* I'm jealous of the first-years*
* and second-years,*
**[10:37] Azu**
* and the incoming first-years who will keep*
* hitting these sets, but at the same time...*
**[10:41] Suga**
Three blockers!
**[10:42] Azu**
*I also feel sorry for them.*
**[10:49] Suna**
*Damn it...*
**[11:04] Ann**
Karasuno gets the break!
**[11:07] Teach**
Yeah!
**[11:09] Kaage**
Nice kill.
**[11:13] Futa**
It pisses me off.
**[11:15] Kogane**
Wait, what?
**[11:17] Futa**
You saw that he shifted
his time to spike, right?
**[11:19] Futa**
He was trying that out at our practice match.
**[11:23] Kogane**
Wait, was he?
***SIGN*** He waits for the moment the blockers start to go down to hit.
**[11:28] Futa**
If he messed up, it'd end up
just being a weak spike.
**[11:31] Kogane**
I couldn't tell at all.
**[11:33] Futa**
The fact that he was able to
make this incomplete spike work
**[11:38] Futa**
in the very last part of this match where
everyone's tired, and he didn't break his form...
**[11:42] Futa**
It all pisses me off.
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[11:45] Ann**
And now, Karasuno's at match point!
**[11:49] Mika**
My chest's starting to hurt...
**[11:53] Guy**
Yeah...
**[11:55] Kita**
Do you know how the guys on
the court feel right now?
**[12:01] Guy**
Their stamina's gotta be about to run out.
**[12:03] Guy**
And they're dealing with an insane
amount of pressure and nervousness.
**[12:11] Kita**
They're thinking, "Whoever scores
here gets to be the hero."
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[12:31] Suga**
Just one more point.
**[12:33] Suga**
Go...
**[12:37] Suga**
Go!
**[12:43] Oasmu**
* He really has some nerve getting*
* excited over those first-year brats.*
**[12:49] Osamu**
*Best high school setter, my ass!*
**[12:54] Atsu**
*Man... what a luxury...*
**[12:58] Atsu**
* Hearing someone mentally*
* saying, "Give the ball to me."*
**[13:00] Atsu**
* That intent to kill that ball, as if he's saying,*
* "I'll definitely get that point."*
**[13:04] Atsu**
*This is the best!*
**[13:11] Atsu**
*And using all that as a decoy...*
**[13:13] Atsu**
*is the ultimate luxury.*
**[13:22] Atsu**
I'm not gonna let them just
keep picking up my attacks.
**[13:26] Suna**
I'm the one who actually attacked, though.
**[13:30] Ann**
And Suna makes the point.
**[13:32] Ann**
Inarizaki's attacks decide to mess
with Karasuno a little longer.
**[13:36] Ann**
The Miya Twins haven't actually
used their quicks that often...
**[13:41] Ann**
But they leave such an impact
that they're still useful.
**[13:45] Coach**
And I'm sure Atsumu wants
to use plenty of new toys.
**[13:50] Coach**
He's actually doing a good job holding back.
**[13:52] Guy**
Yes.
**[13:54] Crowd**
Apparently the game on court A is intense.
**[13:56] Crowd**
They might actually go over
30 points in their final set.
**[13:59] Crowd**
Wow, that's rough!
**[14:04] Ann**
Inarizaki managed to get this ball up, too!
**[14:06] Atsu**
Samu!
**[14:07] Ann**
Their blockers are also insanely persistent.
**[14:09] Ann**
The tension's so thick here that it feels
like it's about to burst at any second.
**[14:11] Sawa**
Left! Left!
**[14:14] Ann**
But they aren't going to
let it burst just yet!
**[14:15] ---**
Each side's concentration is solid as a rock!
**[14:21] Ann**
Look at that high spike from Ojiro Aran!
**[14:24] Aran**
Yeah!
**[14:26] Ann**
Just listen to those stands!
**[14:29] Ann**
That spike went right over the block!
**[14:31] Ann**
Inarizaki has a firm grasp on
Karasuno's back and won't let go!
**[14:36] Shima**
* Miya Osamu's in the back,*
* so there won't be a quick.*
**[14:39] Shima**
*Please use this chance to score!*
**[14:48] Nishi**
Asahi-san!
**[14:50] Azu**
It's long!
**[14:52] Osa**
*But...*
**[14:55] Osa**
* He's still going to get*
* that ball up in the air.*
**[15:04] Ann**
I can't believe it.
**[15:06] Ann**
Just how bold is this first-year,
Kageyama Tobio?!
**[15:14] Ann**
But it looks like all of Karasuno's players
are going for the attack in the end.
**[15:14] Crowd**
Nice, nice, Karasuno! Push it,
push it, Karasuno! One more time!
**[15:19] Ann**
They're all ready to make that kill.
**[15:22] Ann**
That's what makes Karasuno so strong,
but it must take so much stamina and energy.
***SIGN*** Inarizaki Karasuno
**[15:31] Yachi**
Just one more point...
**[15:34] Yachi**
Just one more point.
***SIGN*** We Don't Need the Memories
***SIGN*** Inarizaki High School Volleyball Team
**[15:48] Yachi**
*It's not going to reach!*
**[15:50] Atsu**
Up front!
**[15:53] Ojiro**
*This guy...*
**[15:54] Ojiro**
* But he's been going for the "just make*
* it over" serve this whole time...*
**[15:58] Guy**
Gin!
**[16:00] Sawa**
Back! Back!
**[16:04] All**
*Free ball!*
**[16:08] Tsuki**
*Attack!*
**[16:10] Tana**
*Attack!*
**[16:11] Azu**
*Hurry!*
**[16:12] Sawa**
*We have to be faster than them!*
**[16:14] Suga**
*Before the enemy gets back on their feet...*
**[16:17] Kage**
*Before they catch up!*
**[16:22] Ann**
Fast! Oh-so fast!
**[16:24] Ann**
Karasuno goes in for the kill!
**[16:25] Ann**
The libero Akagi managed to save it, but...
**[16:27] Kei**
Not good.
**[16:29] ---**
Slow down! Slow down the pace!
**[16:30] Sawa**
Left! Left!
**[16:30] Kei**
Slow it down!
**[16:37] Tana**
*A straight!*
**[16:38] Kage**
*Don't let it get through!*
**[16:44] Tana**
Left!
**[16:47] Tana**
* They're already blocking!*
* My approach was too short!*
**[16:51] Tana**
*It's getting deflected!*
**[16:53] Both**
One more time! One more time!
**[16:54] Suga**
Go back!
**[16:57] Kei**
Slow down! Take it easy!
**[16:59] Kei**
You guys need to slow down!
**[17:00] Kei Internal**
* The rhythm of their strong will to*
* finish things off is picking up pace.*
**[17:01] Kei**
Stop panicking! Stop! Do every step slowly!
**[17:06] Kei**
*Speed is a curse.*
**[17:08] Kei**
* It narrows their view,*
* makes it harder to breathe,*
**[17:11] Kei**
* and makes them suffer,*
* but at the same time...*
**[17:14] Kei**
*They're strangling themselves.*
**[17:17] Kage**
*Faster, back to the net!*
**[17:20] Hina**
Got it!
**[17:41] Guy**
*Let's take it easy.*
**[17:45] Guy**
* It's so simple and such a minor thing,*
* but it gets forgotten all the time.*
**[17:49] Guy**
*A first touch that's nice and high.*
**[18:04] Guy**
* A first touch that allows his*
* teammates to breathe again.*
**[18:11] Sawa**
* What the heck happened to Hinata*
* at the first-years' training camp?*
**[18:17] Suga**
*The crowd...*
**[18:18] ---**
* Actually, even most of the players on the*
* court won't think of this as a big deal.*
**[18:23] Suga**
*That it's just a pass.*
**[18:25] (Flashback) Hina**
I may be little, but I can jump!
**[18:28] (Flashback) Hina**
I want to hit the ball, too.
Send me a toss, too.
**[18:32] (Flashback) Hina**
Oh, yes. I love spiking.
**[18:35] (Flashback) Hina**
Regardless, I want to play in the match.
**[18:39] (Flashback) Hina**
I want to stand on the court.
**[18:46] Suga**
*Crap... I might just cry.*
**[18:54] All**
*Significant approach distance...*
**[18:56] All**
*...achieved!*
**[18:58] All**
*Synchronized attack!*
**[19:01] Kei**
* Making time for your teammates also*
* gives the opponents time, too.*
**[19:06] Kei**
*But that's fine.*
**[19:09] Kei**
*Now... Take this head-on!*
**[19:15] Goshi**
*The final point...*
**[19:17] Kinda**
*This is it...*
**[19:19] Kinda**
*Finish it!*
**[19:28] Atsu**
*It doesn't...*
**[19:29] Guy**
*...matter where!*
**[19:35] Guy**
*We're not letting you through that easily!*
**[19:56] Guy**
They returned it!
**[19:57] Guy**
Holy crap!
**[20:02] Some**
Up front! Up front!
**[20:04] Ann**
* Karasuno's tenacity is throwing*
* Inarizaki into chaos!*
**[20:07] Ya**
Go back! Go back!
**[20:08] Ya**
Hurry!

*In a battle lasting 0.1 seconds,*
**[21:48] Tsuki**
*it was only these two...*
**[21:50] Tsuki**
*That didn't waver even a millimeter*

* at the twins' insanely*
* fast attack from the back.*
**[22:02] Tsuki**
*Speed is a very, very strong weapon.*
**[22:07] Tsuki**
*It's very charming and cool.*
**[22:11] Tsuki**
*But it's not invincible.*

* They knew that a little better*
* than everyone else.*
