[00:07] Kageyama
    Hey, your feet stopped short!
[00:10] Kageyama
    What happened to your serving and
    receiving reflexes from yesterday?
[00:12] Kageyama
    You need to focus!
[00:14] Hinata
    All I'm doing is receiving...
[00:17] Hinata
    There's not much time left!
[00:18] ---
    I want to spike, too!
    I want to jump, too!
[00:20] Kageyama
    Go jump around, then!
[00:21] Tanaka
    Hey, you guys.
[00:23] Tanaka
    I should give you fair warning.
[00:25] Tanaka
    Daichi-san is usually gentle,
[00:28] Tanaka
    but he's extremely scary when he gets angry.
[00:29] Tanaka
    I mean extremely.
[00:33] Hinata & Kageyama
    We know.
[00:35] Tanaka
    It won't be good if he finds out
    about this morning practice.
[00:37] Tanaka
    It won't be good for me.
[00:39] Tanaka
    It's not that I'm scared or anything.
[00:41] Tanaka
    Absolutely not. Absolutely not at all.
[00:45] Tanaka
    But anyway, the three of
    us here are the only ones
[00:48] Tanaka
    that know about this morning
    practice, so make sure that you...
[00:51] Sugawara
    Morning practice, huh? I knew it.
[00:53] Tanaka
    Suga-san.
[00:54] Sugawara
    Hey.
[00:55] Tanaka
    But why...
[00:56] Hinata
    He's a third-year.
[00:57] Sugawara
    Because you were obviously weird yesterday.
[01:00] Sugawara
    You're always barely on time,
     but you voluntarily
[01:02] Sugawara
    asked to be in charge of opening the lock.
[01:05] Tanaka
    Oh... ah...
[01:06] Sugawara
    Don't worry, don't worry.
    I won't tell Daichi.
[01:09] Sugawara
    This is like secret training or something.
[01:11] ---
    It's kind of thrilling.
SIGN    Haikyu!!
SIGN    Episode 3: The Formidable Ally
[02:48] Tanaka
    Come and get it!
[02:49] Tanaka
    Good, that was excellent.
[02:52] Sugawara
    Hinata, don't get distracted.
[02:54] Hinata
    I want to hit the ball, too.
     Send me a toss, too.
[02:59] Hinata
    Tossing's your favorite, right?
    Send me a toss, too.
[03:05] Hinata
    Just one.
[03:06] Sugawara
    Hey, Hinata...
[03:06] Hinata
    Just try me out, once. Okay?
[03:09] Kageyama
    I refuse.
[03:12] Hinata
    What is this? Stinginess?
[03:13] Tanaka
    That's right, that's right.
[03:19] Kageyama
    That came straight at you from front.
[03:21] Kageyama
    Tossing and attacking happen
    only if there's a reception.
[03:23] Kageyama
    Which you're too slow to even do,
    so don't talk cocky.
[03:26] Kageyama
    For the three-on-three match this Saturday,
[03:28] Kageyama
    I'll make every effort to give
    Tanaka-san all the tosses.
[03:31] Kageyama
    Let Tanaka-san do the attacking.
[03:33] ---
    You do your best to not get in our way.
[03:39] Hinata
    When I can receive well enough,
    you'll send me tosses, too?
[03:45] Kageyama
    I'll toss to anyone who's
    essential to winning.
[03:49] Kageyama
    Right now, I don't think
    you're essential to winning.
[03:55] Tanaka
    Gutsy!
[03:56] Sugawara
    What's it take to toss him
    a few here and there?
[03:59] Kageyama
    It's getting to be that time.
    We'd better clean up.
[04:01] Tanaka
    Crap. Hurry!
    Erase all evidence!
[04:04] Sugawara
    Tanaka, get a mop!
[04:04] Hinata
    Damn it...
[04:05] Tanaka
    Yes.
[04:06] Hinata
    Damn it...
[04:23] Sugawara
    Hinata, drop your waist,
[04:26] ---
    and hit it like you're sending it right back
     in the direction it came from.
[04:29] Hinata
    Yes.
[04:30] Sugawara
    Here goes.
[04:32] Hinata
    Oh, that was a good one.
[04:34] Sugawara
    Hey, Hinata.
[04:36] Sugawara
    You want me to toss to you,
    starting tomorrow morning?
[04:39] Hinata
    Really? You will?
[04:41] Sugawara
    I'm the official setter
    of Karasuno, you know.
[04:44] Sugawara
    You want to practice spiking, right?
[04:46] Hinata
    Oh, yes. I love spiking.
[04:50] Hinata
    It feels great when it works,
     and it's awesome!
[04:54] Sugawara
    Sounds like you got some spiking memories.
[04:57] Hinata
    Yes. All three years in junior high
    there was no setter or anything.
[05:00] Hinata
    I was the only club member.
[05:03] Hinata
    My friends in the basketball
    club would toss for me.
[05:08] (Flashback) Izumi
    Yikes, I'm sorry. I didn't
    mean for it to go there.
[05:11] Hinata
    Even after club activities,
    I had first-years,
[05:14] Hinata
    mothers, setters from the girls'
    team throw tosses to me...
[05:20] Hinata
    We got along well and
    we're friends, but still,
[05:22] Hinata
    they weren't really teammates.
[05:28] Hinata
    That's why I used to wonder what kind
    of setter I'd have in high school.
[05:31] (Flashback) Kageyama
    You're lousy as shit.
[05:33] Hinata
    I was looking forward to it...
[05:34] (Flashback) Kageyama
    You suck.
[05:36] Hinata
    ...before I got here.
[05:37] Sugawara
    Like I said, I'm a setter.
    I'll toss to you.
[05:44] Hinata
    But if you tossed to me...
[05:49] Hinata
    I'd kinda feel like I've lost.
[05:54] Sugawara
    Hinata, why do you insist
     on getting in Kageyama's face?
[05:57] Sugawara
    Personally, I try to avoid confronting guys
     who are stronger than me.
[06:03] Hinata
    At the junior high tournament...
[06:05] Hinata
    he was so much better and taller than me.
[06:10] Hinata
    He was so strong.
[06:13] Hinata
    It was horrible when
    he stood in front of me.
[06:16] Sugawara
    I understand how that must feel.
[06:18] Hinata
    I came to Karasuno because I was
    going to beat Kageyama.
[06:23] Sugawara
    I see. But, Hinata, is beating Kageyama
    all you want out of volleyball?
[06:29] Hinata
    Oh... um...
[06:31] Kageyama
    He's practicing through his lunch break?
[06:33] Hinata
    I just want to become strong
    enough to defeat Kageyama.
[06:36] Hinata
    If I can do that, I'll be on even
    ground with any strong opponent.
[06:41] Hinata
    I wouldn't be easy to beat in a match.
[06:44] Hinata
    I don't want to lose any more.
[06:47] Sugawara
    I see...
[06:49] Sugawara
    So, in other words, Kageyama is the best player
     in your grade level, as far as you know.
[06:57] Hinata
    Y-Yes...
[07:01] Sugawara
    He sure doesn't like admitting it.
[07:04] Sugawara
    But if he was your
     most formidable opponent,
[07:06] Sugawara
    now he's your most formidable ally.
[07:11] (Flashback) Kageyama
    I don't think you're essential to winning.
[07:16] Sugawara
    All right, let's do some receiving.
[07:18] Hinata
    All right.
[07:23] Hinata
    Thanks for taking out the trash.
[07:30] Sawamura
    One, two, three, four.
[07:33] Team
    Five, six, seven, eight.
[07:36] Sawamura
    Two, two, three, four.
[07:39] Team
    Five, six, seven, eight.
[07:42] Sawamura
    All right. One, two, three, four.
[07:46] Team
    Five, six, seven, eight.
[07:49] Sawamura
    Two, two, three, four.
[07:52] Team
    Five, six, seven, eight.
[07:58] Kageyama
    Let's go.
[07:59] Hinata
    Hey. Where are you going?
[08:02] Kageyama
    We can't handle the
     ball freely in there.
[08:05] Kageyama
    I found a place we can practice.
[08:08] Hinata
    Where?
[08:09] Hinata
    Good job, Kageyama! Well done.
[08:11] Kageyama
    Don't be condescending.
[08:13] Hinata
    Don't get mad at every little thing.
[08:37] Sawamura
    You guys sound sleepy.
[08:40] Sugawara
    Oh, y-you think so?
    Maybe I studied too much.
[08:43] Tanaka
    M-Me, too. I studied...
[08:45] Sugawara
    Nobody will buy that from you!
[08:47] Tanaka
    Huh?
[08:47] Tsukishima
    Excuse me.
[08:49] Sawamura
    Hey, you made it.
[08:51] Sawamura
    These are the first-year
    students who'll be joining us.
[08:53] Sawamura
    New club members were supposed
    to be introduced next week,
[08:56] Sawamura
    but we're having a match this Saturday,
[08:56] Narita
    They're big.
[08:57] ---
    that'll be the true test of your skills.
[08:57] Ennoshita
    Yeah.
[09:00] Tsukishima & Yamaguchi
    Pleased to meet you.
[09:04] Background
    Fight...
[09:06] Kageyama
    Don't just use your hands.
    Move your feet.
[09:09] Kageyama
    Come on. You need to concentrate.
[09:12] Hinata
    I know that.
[09:14] Hinata
    We'll win this Saturday,
    be allowed into the gym,
[09:18] Hinata
    and join this club for real.
[09:21] Hinata
    But you, on the other hand,
    can't play setter unless you win.
[09:24] Kageyama
    If you know that, then concentrate!
[09:32] Hinata
    I said to take it easy
    when we practice outside.
[09:36] Kageyama
    All you have to do is receive properly.
[09:38] Hinata
    Whatever, King.
[09:42] Kageyama
    Hey.
[09:44] Hinata
    Crap.
[09:49] Hinata
    What's the matter with him?
[09:51] ---
    He gets mad every time I call him "King."
[09:54] Hinata
    It's a cool nickname, you know.
[09:56] Hinata
    I wonder if I could have
    a cool nickname, too.
[09:59] Hinata
    Like "Little Giant" or something.
[10:01] Hinata
    "Wind of a fast wind."
    That has "wind" twice...
[10:06] Hinata
    "The forest's—"
    That doesn't work.
[10:09] Hinata
    "The jet black—" Um...
[10:11] Hinata
    "The one who descended from the northeast—"
[10:13] Kageyama
    Hey, let's get back to it.
[10:15] Hinata
    I wonder what our first-year
    opponents are like.
[10:19] Hinata
    They'll be better than
    playing against our senpais.
[10:21] Kageyama
    Who cares what they're like?
[10:23] Kageyama
    There's no choice for me but to win.
[10:26] Hinata
    That's what I was going to say.
[10:30] Hinata
    Don't click your tongue.
[10:31] Hinata
    Let's do this.
[10:35] Kageyama
    Hey. You don't receive with your face.
[10:40] Tanaka
    There's something I don't like about
    those newbie first-years...
[10:43] Sugawara
    You don't like anyone you
    meet for the first time.
[10:47] Sugawara
    You know. That's your personality, right?
[10:49] Tanaka
    My personality?
[10:51] Sugawara
    But those guys sure were beyond expectations.
[10:54] Sugawara
    Are you going to be okay
    in the match on Saturday?
[10:56] Tanaka
    O-Of course. I'm on the team, after all.
[11:01] Sugawara
    That's true. There's Kageyama, too.
SIGN    Equipment Room
[11:04] Sugawara
    But don't you think Kageyama's
    mellowed out since junior high?
[11:08] Tanaka
    What? How has he mellowed out at all?
[11:10] Tanaka
    The guy's cocky as shit.
[11:11] Sugawara
    Well... it's like when he was in junior high,
[11:14] ---
    he had this unwavering confidence.
[11:16] Sugawara
    Like he was an unprecedented
    phenomenon or something.
[11:20] Tanaka
    Either way he's cocky as hell.
[11:23] Sugawara
    Sorry, sorry.
[11:24] ---
    I shouldn't have asked you that.
[11:26] Tanaka
    Huh?
[11:37] Hinata
    One...
[11:39] Hinata
    One more.
[11:41] Kageyama
    Here goes.
[11:42] Hinata
    Yeah.
[11:44] Kageyama
    Go.
[11:45] Kageyama
    The back.
[11:46] Hinata
    Got it.
[11:49] Tsukishima
    Wow, they're really doing this outside.
[11:53] Tsukishima
    Are you the first-years that stirred
    up trouble on the first day?
[11:57] Yamaguchi
    Tee-shirts? Chilly.
[11:59] Hinata
    H-Huge...
[12:02] Hinata
    Give it back.
[12:03] Tsukishima
    Isn't it time for elementary
    school boys to go home?
[12:08] Hinata
    Who are you guys anyway?
[12:10] Kageyama
    You're the other first-years joining the club?
[12:12] Hinata
    Hey.
[12:13] Kageyama
    He's got height...
[12:14] Hinata
    I was talking here.
[12:15] Kageyama
    You, how tall are you?
[12:16] Hinata
    Hey.
[12:17] Yamaguchi
    Tsukki is 188 cm.
[12:20] Yamaguchi
    He'll be 190 soon.
[12:22] Hinata
    190?
[12:23] Tsukishima
    What are you bragging about, Yamaguchi?
[12:26] Yamaguchi
    Sorry, Tsukki.
[12:29] Tsukishima
    You're Kageyama of
     Kitagawa Daiichi, aren't you?
[12:32] Tsukishima
    What's an elite like you doing in Karasuno?
[12:35] Kageyama
    Huh?
[12:37] Hinata
    Hey.
[12:39] Hinata
    We won't lose this Saturday, you hear me?
[12:48] Tsukishima
    Oh, I see.
[12:50] Tsukishima
    It might be an important match for you two,
[12:53] Tsukishima
    but it doesn't matter to me at all.
[12:56] Tsukishima
    I'm not worried about winning or losing,
    so if you two really need to win,
[13:02] Tsukishima
    I can go easy on you if you like.
[13:03] Hinata
    What?
[13:06] Kageyama
    Whether you go easy or give it your all,
    the bottom line is I will win.
[13:11] Hinata
    You mean "we."
[13:13] Tsukishima
    Amazing confidence. I expect
    nothing less of the "King."
[13:18] Kageyama
    Hey. Don't call me that.
[13:20] Tsukishima
    So it is true.
[13:21] Kageyama
    What?
[13:22] Tsukishima
    The rumor that he loses it when
    he's called the "King of the Court."
[13:26] Tsukishima
    What's wrong with "King"? It's cool.
[13:29] Tsukishima
    I think it suits you perfectly, "King."
[13:31] Hinata
    This is out of my hands.
[13:33] Kageyama
    What do you want from me, dude?
[13:42] Tsukishima
    I watched the prefecture
     preliminary tournament.
[13:45] Tsukishima
    That was some egocentric tossing.
[13:47] Tsukishima
    I can't believe your teammates tolerated it,
     because I just couldn't.
[13:51] Tsukishima
    Oh!
[13:52] ---
    I guess what happened was because
     they couldn't tolerate it any more, either.
[14:00] Yamaguchi
    Tsukki.
[14:06] Hinata
    What's going on?
[14:07] Hinata
    I don't know what they're talking about,
[14:10] Hinata
    but why is he holding
    back on this creepy guy?
[14:13] Hinata
    Tell him off like you usually would.
    Say something back at him.
[14:18] Kageyama
    Let's go.
[14:20] Hinata
    Um... hey.
[14:21] Tsukishima
    Running away?
[14:23] Tsukishima
    I guess the King isn't what
    he's cracked up to be.
[14:26] Tsukishima
    Maybe I'll win against
    the King this Saturday, too.
[14:33] Hinata
    Shut up with the "King" crap.
[14:36] Hinata
    I'm here, too.
[14:38] Tsukishima
    I'll spike the ball over
    your head at the match.
[14:41] Tsukishima
    Huh?
[14:43] Hinata
    W-What? Hey.
[14:45] Hinata
    You wanna fight, bastard?
[14:49] Tsukishima
    Let's not get so intense.
[14:51] Tsukishima
    Let's do this cheerfully, for fun.
[14:54] Tsukishima
    It's only a club activity, after all.
[14:56] Hinata
    What do you mean "only"?
[14:58] Tsukishima
    I mean, literally.
[14:59] Tsukishima
    See you later.
[15:01] Hinata
    Hey, you! Stop!
[15:02] Hinata
    Who are you guys?
[15:05] Tsukishima
    First-year class-4, Tsukishima Kei.
[15:08] Yamaguchi
    I'm Yamaguchi Tadashi.
[15:10] Tsukishima
    We're your teammates starting today.
[15:12] Tsukishima
    But enemies for now.
[15:15] Tsukishima
    Looking forward to seeing the King's tosses.
[15:18] Yamaguchi
    See ya.
[15:21] Hinata
    Man, those guys totally give me the creeps.
[15:24] Hinata
    We'll pummel them to the ground.
[15:26] Kageyama
    I don't need you to tell me that.
[15:29] Hinata
    Hey, where are you going?
[15:31] Kageyama
    Huh?
[15:32] Hinata
    We're not done yet.
[15:38] Yamaguchi
    Tsukki, wait up. Is something the matter?
[15:41] Tsukishima
    Guys that are intense for
    no reason get on my nerves.
[15:45] Tsukishima
    That King...
[15:47] ---
    and that Shrimp...
[15:56] Kageyama
    You get in position too slowly.
    I told you to focus.
[15:57] Sugawara
    How much longer are they going to do this?
[15:59] Hinata
    I know that.
[16:00] Tanaka
    Who knows?
[16:02] ---
    I'm so sleepy I can't stand it.
[16:07] (Flashback) Tsukishima
    King.
[16:13] Hinata
    Hey, Kageyama.
[16:14] ---
    It's too dark to see clearly.
    Don't hit it so hard.
[16:18] Kageyama
    Sorry.
[16:22] Hinata
    Scary. What's with that guy?
[16:24] ---
    That's not an apologetic look.
[16:27] Hinata
    His nerves have been on edge
    since he met that big guy.
[16:31] Hinata
    But if he doesn't toss at me, I can't spike.
[16:35] Hinata
    I'll do my best receiving 'til I get a toss.
[16:38] Hinata
    All right. Do that again.
[18:15] Kageyama
    He couldn't handle
    a ball like that before.
[18:19] Hinata
    Hey, don't go easy on me!
[18:22] Kageyama
    You asked for it!
[18:26] Tanaka
    Crap, I overslept.
[18:28] Tanaka
    I'm tardy, I'm tardy.
     I gotta hurry...
[18:32] Tanaka
    Then, wham, I run into Kiyoko-san,
    who's eating bread.
[18:36] Tanaka
    I wish.
[18:47] Tanaka
    How long have they been at it?
[18:50] Sugawara
    It's been fifteen minutes since I got here.
[18:53] Tanaka
    Fifteen minutes straight?
[18:54] Tanaka
    What?
[18:57] Kageyama
    His great physical abilities make
    up for his unskillful clumsiness.
[19:01] Kageyama
    But...
[19:02] Kageyama
    You've reached your limit now!
[19:04] Kageyama
    You can't go any further...
[19:05] Hinata
    Not yet!
[19:07] Hinata
    I haven't dropped the ball yet!
[19:10] Kageyama
    Take that.
[19:11] Tanaka
    Wow, bad character!
     How's he supposed to get that?
[19:14] Kageyama
    Crap! I didn't mean that...
[19:15] Sugawara
    Hinata's athleticism has been
    amazing since junior high.
[19:19] Tanaka
    Huh?
[19:20] Sugawara
    It's not just that, though.
[19:22] Sugawara
    I feel like he has the fortitude
    to become a winner.
[19:27] Kageyama
    He has a different weapon,
    other than a gifted physique
[19:31] Kageyama
    or superior athleticism.
[19:34] Kageyama
    I can't take it any more.
[19:35] Kageyama
    I want him to stop.
[19:37] Kageyama
    And in the very moment I think that...
[19:40] Kageyama
    one step.
[19:47] Tanaka
    He saved it. That's amazing, Hinata!
[19:51] Kageyama
    I'll toss to anyone who's
    essential to winning.
[19:55] (Flashback) Kageyama
    But I don't think you're
    essential to winning right now.
[20:02] (Flashback) Hinata
    I don't want to lose any more.
[20:06] (Flashback) Hinata
    I haven't lost yet.
[20:15] Tanaka
    A toss?
[20:16] Sugawara
    Kageyama tossed to him.
[20:18] Tanaka
    Hinata is too worn out to spike it, though.
[20:33] Sugawara
    He sure can jump.
[20:36] Tanaka
    He recovered from being that worn out.
[20:39] Tanaka
    And look how happy he is.
[20:41] Sugawara
    I think that meant
    something special to Hinata.
[20:46] (Flashback) Hinata
    We got along so well and
    we're friends, but still,
[20:49] (Flashback) Hinata
    they weren't really teammates.
[20:52] Sugawara
    We have the ball tossed by the setter.
[20:55] ---
    That's something we take for granted.
[20:58] Kageyama
    Hey.
[21:01] Kageyama
    We're going to win tomorrow.
[21:05] (Flashback) Sugawara
    But if he was your most formidable opponent...
[21:09] Hinata
    ...now he's my most formidable ally.
[21:15] Hinata
    O-Of course we wi—
[21:23] Sugawara
    Tanaka, get water, water! And a washrag!

[21:44] Kageyama
    Wait up, you idiot!
[21:49] Tanaka
    What's the point of getting
    worn out before the match?
[21:52] Tanaka
    You'd better rest up.
[21:56] Hinata
    Damn... That was a draw.
[21:59] Kageyama
    I won't ever lose to the likes of you.
[22:02] Hinata
    But...
[22:06] Hinata
    He's irritating, and pisses me off...
[22:14] Hinata
    He's going to send me tosses from now on.
[22:17] Hinata
    Tosses from the setter!
[22:20] Hinata
    You and I are gonna win today.
[22:25] Kageyama
    Let's get ready.
[22:27] Hinata
    Yeah.
[22:28] Tsukishima
    Morning, King.
[22:35] Hinata
    I'll...
[22:38] ---
    break through any wall.
    You'll see.

    That Kageyama's not all
    he's cracked up to be.
[24:15] Yamaguchi
    He couldn't even talk back to you, Tsukki.
[24:17] Tsukishima
    Shut up, Yamaguchi.
[24:18] Yamaguchi
    Sorry, Tsukki!

    Well, let's see what the King is made of.
