***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[00:29] Blonde**
They're tied!
**[00:30] ---**
They caught up in the eleventh hour!
**[00:32] Haruka**
What was this called again?
**[00:33] Yuuko**
A deuce!
**[00:35] Both**
*The one to get a two-point lead...*
**[00:39] Both**
*...wins!*

Seijoh!
**[02:23] Seijoh**
Oh, Seijoh!
**[02:27] All**
Seijoh!
**[02:29] Seijoh**
Oh, Seijoh!
**[02:33] Iwa**
Don't panic! Make sure you call out!
**[02:36] All**
Right!
**[02:37] Oikawa**
You got this, right, Kunimi-chan?
**[02:39] Kuni**
Yes.
**[02:40] Nishi**
Hey! That was awesome, Hinata, Kageyama!
**[02:48] Kage**
*So Kunimi can also chase the ball now...*
**[02:55] (Flashback) Kage**
Go after it, to the very end!
***SIGN*** Kitagawa Daichi
**[03:02] Hina**
Kageyama!
**[03:04] Hina**
I'm going to go for as many
broad attacks as possible,
**[03:07] Hina**
until I make one!
**[03:12] Sawa**
Let's go!
**[03:13] All**
Right!
**[03:16] Three**
Nice serve!
**[03:16] Enn**
We've got the momentum!
**[03:18] Sugi**
Give it all you've got, Tanaka!
**[03:20] Tana**
All right! Bring it!
**[03:23] Oikawa**
Got it!
**[03:23] Glasses**
It's a little off!
**[03:24] Kinda**
Center!
**[03:24] Blonde**
Block! Block!
***SIGN*** Fly
**[03:28] Nishi**
Chance ball!
**[03:34] Sawa**
Chance ball!
**[03:36] Hina**
One more!
**[03:42] Iwa**
Nice receive, Watari!
**[03:44] Person**
#10 is super-fast at returning.
**[03:48] Sawa**
Nice one touch!
**[03:50] Hina**
One more time!
**[03:54] Iwa**
There's no point in leaving you open,
**[03:56] Iwa**
if I know you're gonna jump!
**[04:03] Kage**
*Hinata's jumps are running out of power!*
**[04:05] ---**
*The timing's going to be off!*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[04:21] Karasuno**
All right!
**[04:24] Nishi**
Shoyo!
**[04:26] Tana**
Hinata really saved us on that one!
**[04:27] ---**
That was awesome! Great job!
**[04:30] Blonde**
This time...
**[04:31] Sawa**
We're gonna finish this in one shot!
**[04:34] Blonde**
...Karasuno is the one checkmating.
**[04:37] Oikawa**
Let's calm down. We'll get it back!
**[04:39] All**
Right!
**[04:41] Sawa**
Tanaka, one more nice serve!
**[04:43] Watari**
Hanamaki-san!
**[04:44] Hana**
All right!
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[04:50] Glasses**
Even if they're tied, as long
as Seijoh doesn't pull ahead,
**[04:54] ---**
Karasuno will have the advantage.
**[04:57] ---**
Now...
**[05:01] Glasses**
And now, it's time for
Oikawa to serve again...
**[05:08] Oikawa**
*I won't let you guys attack as you wish.*
**[05:12] Oikawa**
*We're going to win.*
**[05:14] Oikawa**
*We're going to the next round.*
***SIGN*** Shiratorizawa Kitagawa Daichi
**[05:20] (Flashback) Oikawa**
This time,
**[05:22] (Flashback) ---**
we're going to crush Shiratorizawa.
**[05:30] Oikawa**
*One more, and we'll regain the advantage!*
**[05:36] Azu**
Nishinoya!
**[05:47] Sawa**
Good call, Nishinoya!
**[05:48] Nishi**
Right.
**[05:51] Person**
He missed... Oikawa missed the serve.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[05:55] Person**
Karasuno's at match point again.
**[05:57] Blonde**
If he missed a serve, when that's
**[06:00] ---**
his strong suit, maybe he's panicking a bit.
**[06:02] Glasses**
Yeah. Even Oikawa...
**[06:07] Iwa**
And that nullified it.
We each have one point now.
**[06:11] Both**
Iwaizumi-san, you're so cool!
**[06:13] Oikawa**
I feel like I've lost to Iwa-chan.
**[06:16] Iwa**
When the hell did you ever beat me?!
**[06:19] Iri**
* Usually, the weight of a point from a break*
* or a side out would be heavier.*
**[06:19] Oikawa**
Overall, I'm always a winner.
**[06:21] Oikawa**
Ow!
**[06:24] Iri**
*However, right now, the important thing is,*
**[06:25] Iwa**
All right. Let's get one.
**[06:27] Seijoh**
Right!
**[06:27] ---**
*because of Iwaizumi's point and words,*
**[06:29] Iri**
*the team was just saved from crumbling.*
**[06:33] Glasses**
Are you sure Seijoh's
never been to nationals?
**[06:38] Glasses**
They're not breaking at all.
**[06:39] Blonde**
But that doesn't change
Seijoh's position at all.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[06:42] Blonde**
Even if the physical fatigue
they're feeling is the same,
**[06:44] Blonde**
the mental fatigue that Seijoh
is feeling is much greater!
**[06:47] Blonde**
Get through this, Karasuno!
***SIGN*** Rule the Court

***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[07:21] Haruka**
Wow...
**[07:23] Haruka**
They went over 30 points!
**[07:25] Glasses**
This is rough on both of them.
**[07:27] Blonde**
But... I think Karasuno is
just barely keeping it together.
**[07:32] Blonde**
I think their attacks are
becoming simple, too.
**[07:35] Blonde**
Seijoh should be worse off,
mentally, but...
**[07:39] Girls**
Oikawa-kun, nice serve!
**[07:42] Glasses**
Gah! That was one full rotation!
**[07:45] Hana**
Nice serve!
**[07:45] Glasses**
He'll probably have
the missed serve on his mind,
**[07:45] Watari**
One point!
**[07:48] Glasses**
so I wonder how Oikawa will do.
**[07:50] Iwa**
Oikawa, if you're staring at Ushiwaka's
face during the match, I'll punch you.
**[07:59] Iwa**
Someone who can't see the opponent
standing right in front him,
**[08:02] Iwa**
can't defeat the opponent that lies beyond!
**[08:13] Oikawa**
You're right.
**[08:16] Sawa**
We'll turn this serve around!
**[08:17] Nishi**
Right!
***SIGN*** Spring High School Volleyball
***SIGN*** King
**[08:47] Oikawa**
It's coming back! Chance ball!
**[08:49] Hana**
Got it!
**[08:50] Glasses**
*Despite the fact that he just messed up,*
**[08:53] ---**
* that was probably the best*
* serve he's done today.*
**[08:56] Sawa**
Damn it! Sorry!
**[08:57] Azu**
I'm glad you were even able
to put that serve up!
**[09:01] Hina**
*Calm down, calm down...*
**[09:01] Oikawa**
Got it!
**[09:03] ---**
*Make sure you don't jump at a decoy!*
**[09:04] Azu**
*Is it going to be a quick?*
**[09:06] ---**
* Or, considering the situation,*
* will it be an ace?*
**[09:08] Iwa**
Left!
**[09:11] Azu**
*The opposite side?!*
**[09:12] Kage**
*Again...*
**[09:14] Kage**
*It's Kunimi?!*
**[09:18] Kage**
*Kunimi!*
**[09:19] Kage**
* Even if you know it's a decoy,*
* hit it over like you mean it.*
**[09:23] Kunimi**
* But it was way obvious that they*
* were going to come up the left.*
**[09:27] Kunimi**
* There's no point in getting*
* tired for no reason.*
**[09:31] Kage**
*You're good, so why don't you play seriously?*
**[09:36] Kunimi**
* So does always being reckless*
* equal being serious?*
**[09:44] Kunimi**
Chance ball!
**[09:46] Watari**
Got it!
**[09:46] Kage**
*They still have energy to spare?*
**[09:49] Oikawa**
* Kunimi-chan, you just skipped out*
* on being decoy didn't you?*
**[09:54] (Flashback) Kuni**
I'm sor—
**[09:54] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Skip out a bit better.
**[09:57] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Mizoguchi-kun's gonna yell at you again.
**[10:00] (Flashback) Person**
Kunimi, you idiot!
**[10:01] (Flashback) Oikawa**
Being efficient, conserving energy,
**[10:03] (Flashback) ---**
and always being calm are your
hidden weapons, Kunimi-chan.
**[10:07] (Flashback) Oikawa**
But when everyone else is exhausted,
**[10:10] (Flashback) ---**
I'll make sure you work even harder.
**[10:14] Oikawa**
*You're only the setter if you can bring out
100% of* all *your teammates' ability.*
**[10:17] Oikawa**
*No matter who the player is!*
**[10:20] Both**
*#13 again?!*
**[10:25] Three**
*A feint?!*
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[10:29] Person**
Seijoh pulled ahead!
**[10:31] Person**
Seijoh's at matchpoint again!
**[10:33] Person**
Not to mention, Oikawa is serving again!
**[10:33] Seijoh**
Just one more point! Just one more point!
**[10:38] Kage**
*We were on the same team for three years,*
**[10:42] Kage**
*but today's the first time*
**[10:45] ---**
*I've ever seen him laugh normally during a match.*
**[10:49] Oikawa**
Hey, just listen...
**[10:50] Kage**
*Who the hell*
**[10:52] ---**
*are you?*
**[10:54] Kage**
*How am I supposed to face someone like you?*
**[10:56] Hina**
Kageyama...
**[10:57] ---**
Kageyama...
**[10:59] ---**
Kageyama-kun...
**[11:00] Hina**
Kageyama-san!
**[11:03] Hina**
Hey, are you freaking out? How lame!
**[11:09] Hina**
Well, it's obivious that the Great King
is going to be better than the King.
**[11:12] Hina**
It's in the names!
**[11:14] Hina**
Not to mention, he seems
way smarter than you.
**[11:17] Sawa**
Sorry, Kageyama!
**[11:19] Sawa**
I'll make sure I get the ball
back to you next time.
**[11:23] Sawa**
Then, all you need to do is
the attack you think is best.
**[11:29] Suga**
Kageyama! Stop hesitating!
**[11:32] Suga**
Everyone on our team is...
**[11:42] Kage**
...strong, as they should be.
**[11:46] Tsuki**
Do you think the King is
scared of the Great King?
**[11:52] Suga**
It's okay.
**[11:53] Suga**
Kageyama's not the Lonely King anymore.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[12:21] Seijoh**
Go, go, go! Go, go, Seijoh!
**[12:24] Seijoh**
Go, go, go! Go, go, Seijoh!
**[12:24] Nishi**
Come on, bring it!
**[12:26] Seijoh**
Push it, push it, push it!
Push it, push it, Seijoh!
**[12:26] Tanaka**
Bring it!
**[12:28] Sawa**
We're gonna get that point!
**[12:28] Seijoh**
Push it, push it, push it!
Push it, push it, Seijoh!
**[12:29] Azu**
Yeah!
**[12:34] Oikawa**
Man...
**[12:36] ---**
Talk about annoying.
**[12:39] Iwa**
Nice serve!
**[12:40] Oikawa**
Tobio...
**[12:40] Kinda**
One point!
**[12:41] ---**
I might actually lose to you,
**[12:41] Kage**
Come on, bring it!
**[12:44] ---**
considering how quickly you evolve.
**[12:51] Oikawa**
But...
**[12:58] Sawa**
Front!
**[13:02] Glasses**
It went up!
**[13:03] Blonde**
But it's messed up!
They won't be able to use a quick!
**[13:06] Coach**
* In this tense situation,*
* he still managed to find the smallest gap*
**[13:09] ---**
*and pulled off a feint.*
**[13:12] Coach**
*His calm focus on victory is terrifying.*
**[13:15] Azu**
Left!
**[13:15] Hina**
Center!
**[13:17] Kage**
Left!
**[13:18] Suga**
Asahi, go!
**[13:21] Hana**
Connect! Connect!
**[13:21] Oikawa**
Iwa-chan!
**[13:24] Take**
It went u— Ah!
**[13:26] Iwa**
Do it, Kindaichi!
**[13:28] Kinda**
*My speed and reflexes always lose to you.*
**[13:31] Kinda**
*But...*
**[13:34] Kinda**
*But in a battle of height...*
**[13:36] Kinda**
*I won't lose!*
**[13:38] Person**
It went up!
**[13:41] Kage**
All right!
**[13:42] Iwa**
Kindaichi, Kunimi!
**[13:43] Both**
Right!
**[13:44] Azu**
Left!
**[13:48] Kage**
*Now! In this position, with this timing,*
**[13:52] ---**
*this angle...*
**[13:55] Kage**
*Dead on!*
**[14:15] Oikawa**
*Tobio...*
**[14:17] ---**
*I might actually lose to you,*
**[14:20] ---**
*considering how quickly you evolve.*
**[14:23] Oikawa**
*But...*
**[14:33] Oikawa**
*That won't be today!*
**[14:42] Seijoh**
All right!
**[14:51] Suga**
Let's go.
**[14:56] Sawa**
Hinata, Kageyama, we need to line up.
**[15:03] Hina**
Captain, I'm sor—
**[15:04] Sawa**
That wasn't a mistake.
**[15:06] Sawa**
It wasn't a mistake, so don't apologize.
**[15:11] All**
Thank you very much!
**[15:39] Oikawa**
*Everyone, just listen.*
**[15:42] Oikawa**
* The next time that Karasuno looks*
* like they're going to use a quick,*
**[15:45] Oikawa**
*Tobio will use the god-like quick.*
**[15:48] Oikawa**
*Keep that in your heads.*
**[15:50] Iwa**
How did you know the last one
would be a god-like quick?
**[15:54] Oikawa**
Because Tobio evolved thanks to
all of the players in Karasuno.
**[15:59] Oikawa**
He's starting to learn how
to trust for the first time.
***SIGN*** Aoba Johsai Karasuno
**[16:02] Oikawa**
When the deuces continued,
**[16:03] ---**
his physical and mental
fatigue were at their peak.
**[16:06] Oikawa**
In the eleventh hour,
when they were cornered,
**[16:08] Oikawa**
it was then they were given a crucial chance.
**[16:10] Oikawa**
At that moment, Tobio...
**[16:18] Oikawa**
only had one choice.
**[16:21] Sawa**
Line up!
**[16:23] Sawa**
Thank you very much!
**[16:25] All**
Thank you very much!
**[16:35] Glasses**
Great work!
**[16:36] Blonde**
That was a great match!
**[16:45] Sawa**
Round up!
**[16:50] Blonde**
When we lost...
**[16:52] Blonde**
I hated being told we had a great match.
**[16:56] Blonde**
It was like, "but we lost."
**[16:58] Blonde**
However, being on the side to say that now,
**[17:01] ---**
I guess I don't know what else to say.
**[17:08] Hina**
Um, that last block...
**[17:14] Coach**
We need to clear out immediately.
**[17:16] ---**
The next team's warm-up is starting.
**[17:19] Coach**
We'll start our cool down
upstairs or outside.
**[17:24] Coach**
Seijoh will be going to the
quarterfinals after a short break.
**[17:44] Iwa**
"Even if one person is good,
you can't win. Don't mind."
**[17:47] Iwa**
Isn't that what you were going to tell them?
**[17:50] Oikawa**
But Karasuno had more than one
strong player, didn't they?
**[17:54] Iwa**
You're really annoying.
**[17:56] Oikawa**
How rude!
**[17:58] Oikawa**
The end of that second set...
**[18:00] ---**
When he was able to read my toss to you,
**[18:02] Oikawa**
I could tell that Tobio was trying to go
**[18:04] ---**
from being a dictator to a decent king.
**[18:08] Oikawa**
Even if Tobio had stayed a dictator,
**[18:12] ---**
he might have still tossed
to the shrimp in the end.
**[18:14] Oikawa**
I only thought it was a possibility,
**[18:17] ---**
and there was no guarantee
he was going to do it.
**[18:20] Oikawa**
He was reading my attacks, but this time,
**[18:22] ---**
he ended up having his
attack being read by me.
**[18:26] Iwa**
So Kageyama has finally
started trusting other people...
**[18:34] Oikawa**
Really...
**[18:36] ---**
Nothing could be more troublesome.
**[18:50] Hina**
The meeting's starting.
**[19:00] Kage**
Sorry.
**[19:03] Kage**
They totally read me in the end.
**[19:11] Hina**
Don't apologize!
**[19:14] Hina**
Don't... Don't make it sound like
tossing to me was a mistake!
**[19:22] Teach**
The meeting's about to start.
**[19:28] Teach**
Both of you were amazing today.
**[19:34] Hina**
But we lost...
**[19:36] Teach**
Indeed, we lost.
**[19:38] Teach**
But it was a worthwhile match, wasn't it?
**[19:46] Teach**
Does losing prove that you're weak?
**[19:50] Teach**
Isn't losing difficult for all of you?
**[19:53] Teach**
A challenge where, after ending
up on your hands and knees,
**[19:55] Teach**
you must see if you can stand-up again?
**[19:59] Teach**
If you stay on your hands and knees,
**[20:02] Teach**
that proves that you are weak.
***SIGN*** Senseki Aoba Johsai
**[21:52] Coach**
All right, let's go get some food.
**[21:54] ---**
Of course, I'm paying.

Sorry, Ma'am, for coming in
right before you open up.
**[22:11] Lady**
Don't worry. This used
to happen all the time.
**[22:23] Coach**
Running, jumping, and anything else
**[22:25] ---**
that stresses your muscles
will cause the fibers to tear.
**[22:29] Coach**
Right after a match, like now,
your muscle are at their limits,
**[22:33] Coach**
so you've got to repair them by eating.
**[22:36] Coach**
That's how you build muscle,
**[22:38] Coach**
and become stronger.
**[22:41] Coach**
So eat. Eat a proper meal.
**[22:48] Sawa**
Th-Thank you for the food.
**[22:49] Suga**
Thank you for the food.
**[22:51] All**
Thank you for the food.
**[22:54] Lady**
Enjoy!
**[22:57] Hina**
Thank you for the food.
**[23:32] Coach**
*Eat.*
**[23:34] ---**
*Eat...*

*A little at a time.*

*But, be sure...*
