Spring High School Volleyball Tournament?
[00:16] Guy
Of course. It's basically
the Koshien for volleyball.
SIGN EASTERN REGION
[00:22] Lady
Yes.
[00:24] Lady

this tournament the other day.
SIGN FUKUSHIMA
[00:29] Lady
This year was as dramatic as ever, it seems.
SIGN YAMAGATA
[00:33] Guy
Yes. First-years attempting
to get to nationals,
[00:38] Guy
and third-years fighting their last battles.
SIGN MORIOKA
[00:41] Guy
I'm sure everyone has their own stories.
[00:45] Lady
Today, we'd like to take a look at
all of their volleyball stories.
SIGN TOKYO
[00:56] Nar
This was their battlefield.
[01:03] Nar
This was where they put
their youth on the line.
[01:15] Nar
They were putting everything from their
three years in high school on the line.
SIGN Japanese National High School Volleyball Tournament
[01:34] Nar
The Spring High School
National Tournament...
[01:37] Nar
The Spring Tournament is
the stage everyone dreams of.
[01:53] Nar
October.
[01:54] Nar
This is when the preliminaries
for the Spring Tournament begin.
[01:57] Nar
Koganegawa Kanji-kun. A first-year that
goes to Date Technical High School.
[02:05] Nar
He is one of the many who attempted
to get to the Spring Tournament.
[02:15] Nar
His volleyball career has only just begun,
[02:18] Nar
but he is blessed with a height of 190 cm,
[02:21] Nar
and uses the natural physical
abilities he was born with
[02:24] Nar
to act as the team's
command center, the setter,
[02:27] Nar
and get his team to the Spring Tournament.
SIGN Mine West Date Tech
[02:32] Nar
Of course, Date Tech is known for...
[02:36] Nar
their blocking.
[02:42] Both
Yeah!
SIGN The Iron Wall of Date
Date Technical High School Volleyball Team PTA
[02:44] Nar
Their blockers are known as the Iron Wall of Date,
and are feared by other high schools.
[02:50] Nar
At the Inter-High prelims that
took place in the summer,
[02:54] Nar
the third-years had left,
and there were high hopes
[02:57] ---
for their giant setter, Koganegawa-kun.
SIGN Date Technical High School
Setter Koganegawa Kanji-kun (1st year)
SIGN Q.
Do you
feel any
pressure?
[03:01] Kogane
I'm still pretty much a baby when
it comes to being a setter!
[03:05] Kogane
But they're counting on me,
so I'm gonna do my best!
[03:09] Nar
He's going to try to get to nationals
for the first time as a first-year.
[03:14] Nar
You can sense the nervousness in his words.
[03:21] Nar
The Miyagi Prefecture preliminaries
for the Spring Tournament.
[03:25] Nar
It's a harsh reality that only one school
will be heading to nationals.
[03:31] Nar
Date Technical made the best of
their impressive defensive skills
[03:34] ---
to climb up the ranks,
SIGN Shirato Date Tech
[03:36] Nar
and managed to get through
the round of sixteen.
[03:42] Nar
Then came the quarterfinals.
[03:46] Nar
Their opponent: the extremely
cunning Aoba Johsai High School.
[03:53] Nar
Perhaps it was due to the nerves that came with
his first attempt at the Spring Tournament,
[03:56] Nar
but Koganegawa-kun seemed
stiffer than usual.
[04:02] Nar
But with the help from his senpais,
[04:05] ---
he was able to regain his
usual technique and composure.
[04:11] Nar
But in the end...
[04:19] Nar
They managed to get through
Koganegawa-kun's block,
[04:22] ---
which signaled the end of the match.
SIGN Date Tech Aoba Johsai
[04:26] Koga
I...
[04:28] Koga
just kept making mistake after mistake!
[04:34] Koga
But next time, I'm going
to land that block.
[04:37] Koga
We're going to perfect the
three-person iron wall,
[04:40] Koga
and come back here!
[04:43] Nar
His first chance at the Spring Tournament
was over in an instant.
[04:47] Nar
But his story has only just begun.
SIGN Date Tech
SIGN Niiyama Tech
SIGN Aoba Johsai
[04:54] Nar
The world of competition can be cruel.
[04:57] Nar
But where there are losers,
there are also winners.
[05:01] Nar
The team that defeated Date
Technical High School is
[05:03] Nar
one of the prefecture's favorites,
Aoba Johsai High School.
[05:11] Nar
Oikawa-kun is one of the best-known
[05:14] ---
setters in Miyagi Prefecture,
and his variety of set ups
[05:17] Nar
that create unique combo plays is what
makes Aoba Johsai the team they are.
SIGN A Team B Team
[05:28] Oikawa
Okay, hear me out.
[05:31] Nar
It's very rare for Coach Irihata to
have to say anything during practices.
[05:37] Nar
Instead, team captain Oikawa-kun
and the other third-years
[05:41] ---
are there to proactively lead the team.
[05:45] Oikawa
There are only two more weeks before
the Spring Tournament prelims.
SIGN Q.
Can
we
get
a
comment
about
the
Spring
Tournament
SIGN Aoba Johsai High School
Setter Oikawa Toru-kun (3rd year)
[05:48] Oikawa
We know what we have to do.
[05:51] Oikawa
And who we have to defeat.
[05:55] Nar
It is now past 8 PM.
But their practice still continues.
[06:02] Nar
Where does all their passion come from?
SIGN Be Courageous Warriors
Shiratorizawa Academy
[06:07] Nar
It comes from their desire
to bring down Shiratorizawa.
SIGN Rule the Court
[06:17] Nar
Shiratorizawa has been the reigning
champion for a long time,
SIGN Aoba Johsai Shiratorizawa
[06:22] Nar
and Aoba Johsai has challenged
them countless times.
[06:27] Nar
At the Inter-High prelims this summer,
[06:28] ---
they faced off with them
yet again in the finals.
[06:36] Nar
But that wall was still impregnable.
[06:41] Nar
And the Spring Tournament prelims
[06:44] ---
will be the final chance the third-years
will have to get their revenge.
[06:50] Nar
The Miyagi preliminaries semi-finals.
SIGN Aoba Johsai
[06:55] Nar
They are up against Miyagi
Prefectural Karasuno High School.
SIGN Karasuno Aoba Johsai
[07:01] Nar
At the Inter-High prelims that
took place in the spring,
[07:03] Nar
Aoba Johsai defeated them
in the third round.
[07:06] Nar
If they get through this, they will
be able to face Shiratorizawa.
[07:18] Nar
In the first set,
[07:21] Nar
they were on their guard against Karasuno's
aggressive offensive play style,
[07:24] Nar
and lost the set.
SIGN Karasuno Aoba Johsai
[07:38] Nar
But Aoba Johsai is a seasoned team,
and they did not panic.
[07:43] Nar
What they believed in was not wrong.
[07:45] Nar
They were just going to keep
playing like they always did.
[07:58] Nar
They moved as one in both offense and defense.
[08:00] Nar
Then came the third and final set.
[08:03] Nar
After endless deuces, an upset awaited.
[08:13] Nar
Their dreams of nationals
slipped through their fingers
[08:16] Nar
as the attack they pulled off with
Oikawa-kun's last-ditch set was returned,
[08:20] Nar
and they lost.
SIGN Rule the Court
[08:26] Nar
Unable to face off with the
champions, Shiratorizawa,
[08:28] Nar
Oikawa-kun's dreams to go to the
Spring Tournament had come to an end.
[08:32] Nar
And yet, he continued to look forward.
[08:38] Oikawa
It's truly unfortunate.
[08:40] Oikawa
But I believe that our team will
get revenge for us next year.
SIGN The Japanese National
High School Volleyball Tournament
Miyagi Prefecture Qualifiers (Boys)
Finals
Shiratorizawa vs. Karasuno
[08:50] Nar
And at last, the finals round that will
decide which team goes to nationals.
[08:55] Nar
The ones facing Karasuno,
who had climbed up this far,
[08:58] Nar
are a team that rose through the
ranks with sheer power.
[09:01] Nar
Their name is synonymous with nationals:
the champions, Shiratorizawa.
[09:33] Nar
No one doubted Shiratorizawa's
victory in this match.
[09:37] Nar
But another upset awaited.
[09:42] Nar
At the very end of the final set,
the champions, Shiratorizawa,
[09:46] Nar
lost to Karasuno.
[09:50] Nar
Not only did they defeat Aoba Johsai,
Karasuno High School then defeated
[09:54] Nar
the champions, Shiratorizawa,
and brilliantly won their ticket to nationals.
[10:03] Nar
The fallen powerhouse. The flightless crows.
[10:06] Nar
What is the secret behind their progress?
SIGN Miyagi Prefectural
Karasuno High School
[10:11] Nar
Karasuno was now heading
to the Spring Tournament.
[10:16] Nar
It is a very normal prefectural high school.
[10:26] Nar
The fallen powerhouse. The flightless crows.
[10:29] Nar
What is the secret behind their progress?
[10:32] Tanaka
Yeah!
[10:33] Some
Nice kill!
[10:36] Both
Nice kill!
[10:38] Nar
Currently, there are twelve
players on their team.
[10:39] Nishi
Here we go!
[10:41] Nar
That may not be many, but the first
thing you notice about this team
[10:46] Nar
is their excellent teamwork.
[10:52] Nar
No matter how hard times may be,
[10:52] Sawa
Make sure you're calling the ball! Wake up!
[10:55] Nar
their captain, Sawamura-kun,
is always talking louder than anyone.
[10:55] All
Right!
[11:00] Nar
Then there is Sugawara-kun,
who helps soften the blows
[11:01] Suga
Nice kill!
[11:03] Suga
Don't let Daichi beat you guys!
[11:03] ---
from Sawamura-kun's sometimes-harsh words.
[11:05] All
Right!
[11:07] Nar
And then there's the life
of the party, Tanaka-kun.
[11:08] Tana
Hell yeah!
[11:12] Nar
Next is Nishinoya-kun, who energizes
everyone with his lively plays.
[11:13] Nishi
Ryu, you scared of the TV cameras? Wake up!
[11:16] Tana
I'm not scared!
SIGN Q.
What's
the
key
to
making
progress?
SIGN Karasuno High School Ukai Keishin Coach
[11:19] Kei
Hm... Well, all of our first-years are unique.
[11:24] Kei
Oh, three out of four of our
first-years are starters.
[11:29] Kei
But the second and third-years create
the foundation for them to let loose on,
[11:33] Kei
and I think that's why
our team works so well.
[11:38] Nar
Unbelievable. Three out of four of their
first-years are starters.
[11:42] Nar
It appears the key to their progress
[11:45] ---
seems to be these unique first-years.
[11:49] Nar
First up, we have Kageyama Tobio-kun,
who's their main setter,
[11:52] ---
despite being a first-year.
[11:59] Nar
Ever since his days at the prestigious
Kitagawa Daichi Junior High,
[12:02] Nar
his elegant tosses
were known far and wide.
[12:08] Nar
And he didn't hold back on those tosses
[12:10] ---
during their match with Shiratorizawa, either.
SIGN Q.
Any

back
on
the
Shiratorizawa
match?
SIGN Karasuno High School
Setter Kageyama Tobio-kun (1st year)
[12:14] Kage
Um, well... They were strong.
[12:18] Kage
So, uh, I want to practice, so can I go?
[12:23] Nar
The second is the tallest on
their team, Tsukishima Kei-kun,
[12:28] Nar
one of their middle blockers.
[12:30] Nar
Known for his cool personality,
[12:32] ---
he doesn't try to interact
very much with his teammates.

[12:37] Tsuki
Yeah, uh... Sure.
[12:43] Nar
But the way he fought on that court
showed the completely opposite demeanor.
[12:49] Nar
He was passionate.
[12:51] Nar
He kept jumping, over and over...
[12:56] Nar
Until his fingers were tattered. And then...
[13:02] Nar
It was a block that carried the thoughts
of his teammates and his own pride.
[13:08] Tsuki
All right!
[13:12] Nar
The third is Yamaguchi Tadashi-kun.
[13:15] Nar
His role is the pinch server.
[13:16] Some
Nice serve!
[13:18] Nar
He tries to bring the flow of
the game back in their favor
[13:20] Nishi
Nice serve, Yamaguchi!
[13:20] ---
after it's gone to their opponents.
[13:22] Nishi
It is a very difficult role.
SIGN Q.
Don't
you
get
nervous?
SIGN Karasuno High School
Middle Blocker Yamaguchi Tadashi-kun (1st year)
[13:28] Tada
Y-Yes, I do.
[13:30] ---
But whenever I'm about to serve,
[13:34] Tada
I just tell myself that
there's no going back.
[13:44] Nar
His body doesn't move
exactly how he wants.
[13:47] Nar
There's the fear of failure.
[13:51] Nar
Even then, Yamaguchi-kun came out a winner
[13:55] Nar
in the battle against himself.
[13:59] All
All right!
[14:09] Nar
Finally, we have Hinata Shoyo-kun,
another middle blocker.
[14:14] Nar
Despite his tiny stature of 163 cm,
[14:17] ---
he showed everyone what he
could do as a middle blocker.
[14:23] Nar
Apparently, he started playing volleyball
because he looked up to the Little Giant.
[14:30] Nar
Outside of volleyball, he's just
another normal high school student.
[14:38] Teach
All right, Hinata.
[14:39] ---
Put the vegetable you don't like in
the parentheses and read the sentence.
[14:42] Hina
Y-Yes, ma'am.
[14:44] Hina
The vegetable that I don't like is... peeman!
[14:50] Teach
You mean "green pepper."
[14:53] Teach
"Peeman" would be "pee guy."
[15:02] Nar
But once he steps
out onto the court...
[15:06] Hina
Bring it to me!
[15:06] Nar
He jumps!
[15:08] Nar
He jumps!
[15:11] Nar
He flies!
[15:20] Nar
And what shattered the dreams
of the champions, Shiratorizawa,
[15:26] Nar
was his right hand.
SIGN Shiratorizawa Karasuno
SIGN Q.

play?
[15:31] Hina
Ushiwaka-san's cross shot
was so friggin' cool!
[15:34] Hina
I was gonna go for the last shot...
[15:37] Hina
But I was like, "Hngh," and held back,
[15:39] Hina
and then like, "Bam!" with everyone else!
[15:44] Nar
They don't just work on their teamwork
on the court or in their classrooms.
[15:52] Kei
Once you're done eating,
make sure you go straight home.

[16:16] Tana
Oh, fine. I guess it's
Tanaka-senpai to the rescue...
[16:20] Tana
Daichi-san, could you pay for mine, too?
[16:23] Kei
Hey! How many times do I have to tell
you to pay before you eat those!
[16:26] Hina
Coach! You should totally treat
us for winning the game!
[16:27] Nar
The key to Karasuno High School's progress...
[16:30] Nar
apparently lies in the environment
where older and younger teammates
[16:31] Tana
Hey, great idea, Hinata! Please, Ukai-san?
[16:33] Nar
are able to play and grow however they want.
[16:34] Keishin
You've already had plenty to eat and drink!
[16:40] Nar
And so, after causing quite
the storm at the tournament,
[16:44] Nar
Karasuno High School won their
ticket to nationals.
[16:48] Nar
They have a dream they
want to see come true.

Nekoma Municipal High School.
[16:57] Nar
A powerhouse school that lies

and has gone to nationals many times.
[17:02] Nar
This team is lead by Coach Nekomata,
[17:05] ---
who was rivals with Coach Ukai Ikkei,
who once coached Karasuno.
[17:12] Nar
They are friendly rivals with Karasuno,
[17:15] Nar
and they held a joint training camp
together during summer vacation.
[17:19] Nar
But despite their deep connection,
[17:22] Nar
they have not had an
official match together.
[17:28] Nar
They dream of facing each other
one day at nationals.
