**[00:03] Hina**
Give it to me!
**[00:50] Hina**
All...
**[00:50] All**
...right!
**[01:04] Yachi**
Yes!
**[01:06] Sae**
Well done!
**[01:08] Score**
That was no ordinary
prefectural qualifier match.
**[01:11] Socre**
I got goosebumps.
**[01:14] Sawa**
All right! Let's do our greetings.
**[01:15] All**
Right!
**[01:24] Oika**
Now we're at one loss, one win.
**[01:27] ---**
Don't get on your high horse.
**[01:30] Kage**
I won't.
***SIGN*** Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Episode 25: "Declaration of War"
**[03:12] All**
Thank you very much!
**[03:16] Kei**
We did it, Sensei.
**[03:17] Take**
Yes.
**[03:27] Sawa**
*It...*
**[03:30] Sawa**
* looked like he was actually able to*
* predict where Hinata was going to hit.*
**[03:34] Swa**
* If it wasn't caught by the*
* block, changing the course,*
**[03:38] Take**
That was a very heartwarming match.
**[03:38] ---**
*he might have picked it up.*
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[03:45] Coach**
Say what you will, but the
results are what you see.
**[03:49] Coach**
There's no way your
disappointment will subside.
**[03:52] Coach**
I'm sure there are even
some plays you regret.
**[03:56] Coach**
With that in mind, let me just say something:
**[04:01] Coach**
You fought well.
**[04:11] Oika**
Let's go greet the people in the stands.
**[04:20] Iwa**
* How can I be the ace when*
* I couldn't even make that?!*
**[04:47] Oika**
Thank you very much!
***SIGN*** Rule the Court
**[04:49] Sei**
Thank you very much!
**[05:01] Awa**
Hey, hurry up!
**[05:03] Both**
Yeah!
**[05:11] Nishi**
We fell over!
**[05:12] Tana**
You're way too worked up!
**[05:14] Kage**
Hinata, you dumbass!
**[05:18] Yaha**
Don't ever forget this sight.
**[05:21] Yaha**
We're definitely going to pay them back.
**[05:24] Wata**
Yeah!
**[05:39] Kuni**
Apparently we're about to head out.
**[05:46] Spike**
Yeah.
***SIGN*** Karasuno High School Volleyball Club
**[06:07] Kinda**
Kageyama!
**[06:12] Kuni**
We're not gonna lose next time!
**[06:16] Kuni**
Apparently.
**[06:18] Kage**
Right.
**[06:28] Sae**
Hey!
**[06:31] Sae**
You guys were awesome!
**[06:32] Yachi**
Yay!
**[06:34] Nishi**
Ne-san!
**[06:34] Sae**
Ryu!
**[06:35] Sae**
You did great, getting that last one!
**[06:37] ---**
You looked awesome!
**[06:39] Tana**
Right...
**[06:40] Tana**
Or rather, I appreciate the support,
but don't use my name so much...
**[06:46] Sae**
Don't be embarrassed!
**[06:47] Tana**
Ow, ow, ow! Seriously, stop!
**[06:49] ---**
Hey, your boobs!
Your boobs are in my face!
**[06:50] Shima**
That was a great serve, Tadashi!
**[06:53] Yama**
Thank you very much.
**[06:55] Sae**
What? You can't handle
some boobs in your face?
**[06:55] Yachi**
The last one! The last spike was amazing!
**[06:58] Hina**
Thanks!
**[06:59] Kage**
Thanks.
**[07:00] Take**
I couldn't help but remember our last match,
**[07:03] ---**
so when I saw the triple block,
it was quite chilling...
**[07:08] Kei**
Just like when Azumane faced the Iron Wall,
**[07:12] ---**
Kageyama might have thought
**[07:14] ---**
it was best to think ahead and have
Hinata's hand break through...
**[07:19] Kei**
No... It might just have been instinct.
**[07:23] Yachi**
It's so amazing that you got
through such a high block!
**[07:30] Hina**
That last part...
**[07:31] ---**
When the Great King reacted...
**[07:33] Hina**
I thought he was going to get it.
**[07:36] Hina**
The Great King really is amazing.
**[07:43] Oika**
When the bus comes, will you load our stuff?
**[07:46] Oika**
I'm gonna go get everyone else.
**[07:48] ---**
Right.
**[08:00] Ushi**
This is a warning, Oikawa.
**[08:03] Ushi**
Don't choose the wrong path again.
**[08:05] Ushi**
You chose the wrong path.
**[08:08] Ushi**
There was a place where you could
have realized your true potential.
**[08:11] Ushi**
Because of your worthless
pride, you didn't choose it.
**[08:18] Oika**
So you're trying to tell me
**[08:19] ---**
that I should have gone to Shiratorizawa
instead of Seijoh, right?
**[08:24] Oika**
No team is guaranteed victory.
**[08:28] Ushi**
If nothing else, I can say...
**[08:31] Ushi**
...that my team is the strongest one here.
***SIGN*** Shiratorizawa Academy
**[08:38] Oika**
Wow, I see you're still laughably confident!
**[08:43] Oika**
Worthless pride, huh?
**[08:46] Oika**
That's true...
**[08:49] Oika**
Listen up, Ushijima.
**[08:51] Oika**
I never thought my decision was wrong,
**[08:55] ---**
and my volleyball hasn't ended at all.
**[08:58] Oika**
Don't you ever forget
**[09:02] Oika**
my worthless pride.
**[09:07] Oika**
Oh, yeah.
**[09:09] Oika**
If you keep all of your attention on me,
**[09:11] ---**
you're going to get stabbed from
the direction you least expect.
**[09:14] Ushi**
What's that supposed to mean?
**[09:17] Oika**
My junior...
**[09:19] ---**
isn't smart, and isn't even
close to my level yet...
**[09:27] Oika**
But now that he's not
by himself, he's strong.
**[09:36] Oika**
When crows flock, they might even
kill a huge, white eagle.
**[09:43] Tana**
Hey.
**[09:44] Tana**
What the hell are you doing?
**[09:45] ---**
Hurry up and load your
your stuff onto the bus.
**[09:48] Yachi**
What's the matter, you two?
**[09:52] (Flashback) Ushi**
Infertile soil will not
bring forth splendid fruit.
**[09:57] Hina**
I'll show you just how much
we can grow from the concrete.

**[10:31] Take**
No surprise. They're fast asleep.
**[10:34] Kei**
You can't blame them.
**[10:36] ---**
They fought two matches
with powerful opponents.
**[10:41] Kei**
I'm thankful for you, Sensei.
**[10:44] Take**
Wha?! Where did that come from?
**[10:46] Kei**
The fact that a team like ours,
which hadn't done well for a while,
**[10:50] Kei**
got to do so many practice matches with
the powerhouse schools from Tokyo...
**[10:54] Kei**
All I can say about that
is that we were blessed.
**[10:56] Kei**
You need someone else to
become more disciplined.
**[11:00] Kei**
No matter how hard you try
by yourself, there's a limit.
**[11:05] Kei**
The fact that we were able to
regain our connection with Nekoma
**[11:08] Kei**
is a much bigger deal than
you or the team realizes.
**[11:14] Kei**
You did an amazing thing.
**[11:17] Take**
What? No, I didn't...
**[11:23] Take**
If we're able to win tomorrow,
**[11:24] ---**
please make sure you compliment me then.
**[11:27] Kei**
Right.
**[11:38] Kei**
All right. Get your things and head
straight to the gym for a meeting.
**[11:42] All**
Right...
**[11:44] Kage**
You totally drooled. Gross.
**[11:47] Hina**
My drool isn't gross!
**[11:49] Person**
Oh, they're back.
**[11:52] Person**
Congrats on making it to the finals!
**[11:55] Sawa**
Oh, Michimiya.
**[11:56] Sawa**
How did you know?
**[11:57] Person**
They just announced it on
the school announcements.
**[12:00] Person**
That's amazing!
**[12:01] ---**
The fact that you were able to beat Seijoh and
made it to the finals is just... is just...
**[12:05] Person**
Amazing! It's insane!
**[12:06] Cko**
Your lack of vocabulary is insane.
**[12:09] Girl**
Wait, what happened to
your face?! That bruise!
**[12:11] Sawa**
Yeah... It happened at the match today...
**[12:13] Sawa**
It looks a lot worse than it actually feels.
**[12:17] Girl**
I see...
**[12:19] Guy**
Hey, boys' volleyball team.
**[12:22] ---**
That was amazing!
**[12:24] Girl**
Congrats!
**[12:25] Teach**
Hinata! Kageyama! Well done!
**[12:28] Hina**
Sensei!
**[12:29] Kage**
Thanks!
**[12:30] Guy**
I'm going to cheer you on tomorrow!
**[12:32] Guy**
You better win!
**[12:35] Girl**
Do your best!
**[12:39] Sawa**
You guys all stayed late for us...
**[12:45] Girl**
*M-Sta Miyagi* is gonna start!
**[12:59] Lady**
Good day-evening.
**[13:00] All**
Good day-evening!
**[13:02] Lady**
Today, the Sendai Municipal
Gymnasium in Tomizawa
**[13:06] Lady**
hosted the quarter and semifinals
of the Miyagi prefectural qualifiers
**[13:10] Lady**
for the National High School
Volleyball Tournament,
**[13:14] ---**
otherwise known as the
Spring Volleyball Tournament.
***SIGN*** Karasuno Aoba Johsai
**[13:17] Lady**
In the first match, Karasuno
High School defeated
**[13:20] ---**
the powerhouse school,
Aoba Johsai High School,
**[13:22] Lady**
earning them a spot in the finals
for the first time in years.
**[13:25] Lady**
Wow, that is certainly surprising.
**[13:27] ---**
To think that Seijoh would be eliminated.
**[13:30] Comm**
Precisely. With Oikawa-kun at the lead,
they are an extremely well-balanced team,
**[13:35] Comm**
so it's sad that we won't be
seeing them in the finals.
**[13:38] Tana**
Come on! Show us a little more!
**[13:40] ---**
We actually won!
**[13:41] Hina**
Yeah! Yeah!
**[13:42] Nishi**
Stop showing just Seijoh!
**[13:44] Tsuki**
This happens every time.
**[13:46] Sawa**
The lost in the semifinals.
What do you expect?
***SIGN*** Semifinals, Round 2
The Champions' Dignity
**[13:49] Lady**
Next, we have the second
round of the semifinals.
**[13:52] Lady**
In this match, the school garnering
attention rightfully won,
**[13:55] Lady**
and moved toward the finals.
**[13:57] Kei**
Now the headliner arrives.
**[14:01] Lady**
It would be Shiratorizawa Academy,
**[14:03] ---**
that has won this tournament
the last three years,
**[14:07] Lady**
but is led by Ushijima Wakatoshi,
who has played for the under-19 national team.
***SIGN*** Shiratorizawa Academy Kesenike West High School
**[14:13] Lady**
Looks like they had no problems winning
straight through the semifinals.
**[14:16] Comm**
Yes.
**[14:17] ---**
This year, they've gathered members that
might just promise them victory at Nationals.
**[14:22] Comm**
I think we can expect great things from them.
**[14:25] Lady**
It'll be interesting to see
how high Karasuno can climb
**[14:28] ---**
against the powerful Shiratorizawa Academy.
**[14:32] Lady**
You can watch the finals live on this channel,
tomorrow at 11 AM.

The match that will determine the
Miyagi Prefecture representative...
**[14:41] Lady**
Be sure not to miss it!
**[14:47] Kei**
Now, then. We'll be going against
Shiratorizawa tomorrow, but...
**[14:51] Kkei**
In the three years since
Oikawa joined Aoba Johsai,
**[14:54] Kei**
they have never beaten Shiratorizawa.
**[14:59] Kei**
Not even once.
**[15:01] Kei**
They are undoubtedly the undefeated champions.
**[15:05] Kei**
Of course, there's Ushijima,
**[15:07] ---**
but there are plenty of others
that are top in the prefecture.
**[15:11] Kei**
It's no fluke that they are top in the prefecture.
**[15:14] Kei**
Shiratorizawa is far stronger
than you can even imagine.
**[15:18] Kei**
No one actually thinks we're going to win.
**[15:21] Kei**
Huh?
**[15:23] Kei**
What is it, Hinata?
**[15:25] Hina**
That doesn't matter!
**[15:27] Hina**
I think...
**[15:29] Sawa**
Hey, don't talk to the coach like that!
**[15:31] Hina**
Oh, uh... I didn't mean it like that...
**[15:34] Kei**
Just say it.
**[15:36] Hina**
R-Right.
**[15:38] Hina**
No one thought that we were going
to beat Seijoh, either.
**[15:43] Hina**
That's why it doesn't matter...
**[15:45] ---**
I think.
**[15:49] Kei**
Tomorrow, we're going to
be the challengers again.
**[15:52] Kei**
Let's turn the tables on them.
**[15:54] All**
Right!
**[15:56] Take**
"The fallen powerhouse."
"The flightless crows."
**[15:59] Take**
There's no one to call you that anymore.
**[16:04] Take**
Birds with the wind in their wings are
flying across the great blue sky right now.
**[16:08] Take**
And all of you should be able to make it!
**[16:11] Take**
To the highest limit,
***SIGN*** Karasuno High School Volleyball Club
**[16:12] ---**
to the farthest limit!
**[16:14] Take**
Now, everyone. The time has come!
**[16:18] Take**
Let's win tomorrow and
make it to nationals!
**[16:21] All**
Yeah!
**[16:25] Kei**
All right. Now get home and go to
bed so you aren't tired tomorrow.
**[16:29] All**
Right.
**[16:30] Sawa**
All right, dismissed!
**[16:31] All**
Right!
**[16:36] Hina**
Kageyama.
**[16:40] Hina**
Throw me a toss.
**[16:48] Yachi**
Huh? They couldn't be...
**[16:50] Yachi**
I knew it.
**[16:51] Hina**
Ah! Yachi-san!
**[16:53] ---**
Could you throw us some balls?
**[16:54] Yachi**
You guys had two matches today, so
you should just go home and rest up.
**[16:58] Hina**
If I went home right now,
I'd be too worked up to sleep.
**[17:01] Hina**
So, please!
**[17:02] Kage**
Please!
**[17:08] Hina**
Throw it, please!
**[17:10] Yahi**
Okay.
**[17:21] Both**
Yeah!
**[17:23] Hina**
Give me one more!
**[17:24] Kage**
Yeah.
**[17:39] Hina**
One more!
**[17:40] Kage**
Yeah.
**[17:43] Hina**
What's the matter, Yachi-san?
**[17:44] Yachi**
Oh! I-I'm sorry!
**[17:48] ---**
I just remembered something...
**[17:51] Hina**
What did you remember?
**[17:52] Yachi**
The time you two got into that fight,
**[17:54] ---**
I kept throwing balls to you like this.
**[17:58] Both**
Really?
**[17:59] Yachi**
What?! You don't remember?!
**[18:02] Yachi**
Hinata like charged you and
tried to fight with you,
**[18:04] Yachi**
and then Kageyama-kun started
punching and pushed you over...
**[18:07] Yachi**
I was super scared!
**[18:12] Hina**
O-Oh...
**[18:14] Kage**
Sorry.
**[18:15] Yachi**
Oh, uh, that's not what I meant...
**[18:19] Yachi**
I thought of this, watching the match today.
**[18:21] Yachi**
If I hadn't become a manager,
**[18:24] ---**
I wouldn't have been able
to watch today's matches,
**[18:27] ---**
wouldn't have been so excited and flustered,
**[18:28] Yachi**
or been so happy when you won,
**[18:31] ---**
and my heart wouldn't have felt so warm.
**[18:37] Yachi**
It's all because I watched
each of you work so hard
**[18:40] ---**
to do something that you
couldn't do before...
**[18:45] Yachi**
If I hadn't been here, I would have
never had that experience.
**[18:49] Ya`Chi**
So, thank you.
**[18:53] Hina**
No, no! We should be thanking you!
**[18:56] ---**
You stayed with us through all our practices!
**[18:58] Hina**
If you weren't with us, Yachi-san, we might
not have completed our new quick, either!
**[19:02] Yachi**
Really? I was of some use, even
though I'm just a Townsperson B?
**[19:06] Hina**
Of course!
**[19:07] ---**
You're the best Townsperson B
in the Tohoku region!
**[19:10] Kage**
Is that even a compliment?
**[19:12] Hina**
Of course it is!
**[19:13] ---**
If you're actually thankful,
too, you need to thank her!
**[19:17] Kage**
Ah... Thanks.
**[19:20] Hina**
Is that all you can say?
**[19:22] ---**
There are so many other ways to say it!
**[19:24] Kage**
Shut up! I thanked her, didn't I?
**[19:27] Yachi**
N-Now, now...
**[19:30] Shimi**
What are you doing?
**[19:32] Yachi**
Sh-Shimizu-senpai?!
**[19:38] Shimi**
Resting properly is another important
part of preparing for matches, you know.
**[19:43] Yachi**
S-Sorry!
**[19:44] Yachi**
Come on! That's enough!
**[19:46] ---**
Let's clean up!
**[19:47] Hina**
What?
**[19:48] Yachi**
Come on, hurry up!
**[19:50] Hina**
Okay...
**[19:52] Kage**
We got in trouble because of you.
**[19:54] Hina**
You wanted to practice, too, didn't you?
**[19:56] Yachi**
I'm sorry for helping them practice.
**[20:00] Shimi**
No, it's fine.
**[20:01] Shimi**
Actually, thanks for practicing with them.
**[20:06] Yachi**
Right!
**[20:08] Shimi**
Hitoka-chan, it's already dark, so do you
want me to go to the bus stop with you?
**[20:11] Yachi**
O-Okay!
**[20:12] Shimi**
Hinata and Kageyama, as soon as you're
done, you need to go straight home.
**[20:15] Both**
Right!
**[20:31] Hina**
I wonder how the Little Giant
felt the day before the finals...
**[20:37] Hina**
I'm super nervous,
**[20:40] ---**
but...
**[20:43] ---**
Isn't it even more exciting now?!
**[20:49] Kage**
We're going to win tomorrow.
**[20:53] Hina**
Yeah!
**[22:18] Kid**
But man... Who ever thought that
Karasuno would make it to the finals?
**[22:22] Kid**
They beat Seijoh,
**[22:23] ---**
so maybe they're becoming a powerhouse again.
**[22:27] Kid**
Hey, speaking of...
**[22:42] Suga**
It's Ushiwaka.
**[22:46] Sawa**
H-Hey!
**[22:51] Ushi**
Hinata Shoyo. Kageyama Tobio.
**[22:55] Kage**
We made it to the finals.
**[22:58] Hina**
We, who grew from the concrete,
**[23:00] ---**
will beat you and go to nationals!
**[23:12] Ushi**
I look forward to it.
**[23:14] Ushi**
Let's meet on the court.
**[23:22] Hina**
Damn it...
**[23:24] Hina**
I wanna hurry up and fight him!
**[23:29] Sawa**
All right! We're gonna make it to the
spring tournament, no matter what!
**[23:32] All**
Yeah!
