**[00:01] Kage**
Hey.
**[00:05] Kage**
You can jump even higher.
**[00:12] Noya**
Shoyo!
**[00:14] Hina**
Heya!
**[00:15] Kage**
Heya.
**[00:16] Noya**
Hey, Kageyama!
**[00:18] Suga**
Hey!
**[00:19] Suga**
Hinata, Kageyama! You guys
made it back in one piece!
**[00:22] Hina**
Heya, Suga-san.
**[00:23] Kage**
Heya.
**[00:24] Suga**
Heya, heya.
**[00:26] Suga**
You guys better not have been
fighting as soon as you get back.
**[00:30] Tana**
Nah, they were already fighting
when I brought the key over.
**[00:34] Suga**
That's way too fast.
**[00:35] Noya**
Well, I mean...
***SIGN*** Karasuno High School Volleyball Team
**[00:37] Noya**
That basically defines them! Right?
**[00:40] Tana**
Kageyama, how was the youth training camp?
**[00:44] Noya**
Yeah, that! How was the All-Japan?
**[00:49] Kage**
The floor wasn't made out of wooden planks.
**[00:51] Tana**
You're talking about the court?
**[00:52] Tana**
How was the volleyball? There were
crazy-good guys from all over there, right?
**[00:56] Kage**
Yes. Everyone was really good.
**[00:58] Tana**
Yeah, them. More about them.
**[01:01] Suga**
Hinata, you didn't try to sneak
into the All-Japan Youth Camp, did you?
**[01:04] Hina**
Well, I, uh...
**[01:06] Tsuk**
Apparently, he didn't try
because he'd get arrested.
**[01:09] Suga**
Arrested?
**[01:10] Suga**
Tsukishima!
**[01:12] Tsuk**
He was actually planning to
sneak into the Tokyo camp.
**[01:16] Noya**
Nice, Shoyo!
**[01:20] Suga**
Did you grow a little at
your camp, too, Tsukishima?
**[01:23] Tsuk**
Yeah... I guess...
**[01:24] Suga**
Did you get taller?
**[01:26] Azu**
Are you his aunt or something?
**[01:27] Dai**
He'd better not have grown taller in five days.
**[01:29] Both**
Heya!
**[01:31] Azu**
Yo.
**[01:34] Hina**
I-I'm sorry for all of
the trouble I've caused!
**[01:39] Kage**
I mean, even if you stayed here,
you'd be worthless on your own.
**[01:43] Hina**
Oh, shut up!
**[01:45] Hina**
You guys don't need to keep reminding me!
**[01:47] Kage**
I only said it once...
**[01:50] Yama**
Tsukki! Did you get taller?
**[01:50] Hina**
Look at you, acting like a big shot!
**[01:52] Tsuki**
Shut up, Yamaguchi.
**[01:54] Kage**
And you'd better not have forgotten
those Gungun Yogurts!
**[01:54] Narita**
It sure was quiet for a couple of days...
**[01:57] Enn**
Yeah.
**[01:59] Yama**
Sorry, Tsukki! So hey, how
was the training camp?
**[01:59] Kiyo**
Their fighting makes me feel at ease.
**[02:21] ---**
Haikyu!!
***SIGN*** Congratulations
On Going to the Spring Volleyball Tournament,

***SIGN*** Episode 6: Enhancements
**[03:47] Hina**
Let me help!
**[03:48] Yachi**
Thanks!
**[03:51] Hina**
Right around here?
**[03:52] Yachi**
Yeah.
**[03:54] Hina**
Yachi-san, what's that tape for?
**[03:57] Yachi**
We're splitting the net into nine parts.
**[04:00] Yachi**
This whole past week,
the team has been working on serves,
**[04:03] Yachi**
and Ukai-san wants them to confirm
where they want their serves to go.
**[04:09] Yachi**
Like, see what happens and where the
ball falls when they hit that location.
**[04:21] Azu**
*70%...*
**[04:27] Suga**
Nice hit!
**[04:29] Azu**
Yes!
**[04:40] Noya**
Talk about straightforward!
**[04:41] Tana**
Damn it... He got it so easily.
**[04:53] Glasses**
Nishinoya-kun couldn't receive it.
**[04:56] Kei**
Nishinoya's not great with overhands.
**[05:00] Glasses**
Then couldn't he have just
dug the ball like usual?
**[05:05] Kei**
Jump floaters are hard to receive
because they're so unpredictable.
**[05:08] Kei**
The best way to counter them
**[05:10] ---**
is to position yourself further forward
and catch the ball with an overhand pass.
**[05:14] Kei**
There's a good chance
that we'll be facing
**[05:16] ---**
stronger opponents who can
use jump floaters.
**[05:21] Kei**
It doesn't hurt to come up with
a few ways to counter those.
**[05:26] Nari**
Great serve, Kinoshita.
**[05:28] Kino**
Right?
**[05:28] ---**
So great.
**[05:29] Nari**
I'm gonna stick to floaters.
**[05:34] Yama**
*I can do it, too...*
**[05:41] Tsuk**
Out.
**[05:45] Hina**
*Yamaguchi's really pumped, too.*
**[06:06] Kage**
*I didn't hit it as hard as I wanted...*
**[06:09] Kage**
*Is it going to be out?*
**[06:25] Kiyo**
There are times when Hinata
pulls off superhuman moves...
**[06:31] Kiyo**
But what he just did now...
**[06:33] ---**
Actually seemed like he meant to do it.
**[06:38] Suga**
Great job.
**[06:40] Enn**
Apparently, it's supposed to snow tonight.
**[06:42] Tana**
Ugh, seriously?
**[06:43] Hina**
Hey, Kageyama.
**[06:45] Hina**
What do you mean by I can "jump higher"?
**[06:49] Kage**
Come hit some fours with me.
**[06:53] Daichi**
You guys are tired from the
training camps, aren't you?
**[06:56] Daichi**
No overworking yourselves.
**[06:58] Hina**
J-Just a little bit, please?
**[07:00] Daichi**
Just a little.
**[07:02] Both**
Yes, sir!
**[07:08] Kage**
Your jumps are always just "boing, boing."
**[07:11] Hina**
Wait, what?
**[07:12] Kage**
But amazing jumps...
**[07:16] Kage**
Are like "bam."
**[07:19] Kage**
Basically, your job is to scuttle around.
**[07:22] Hina**
Don't say it like that!
**[07:23] Kage**
So, like... You sorta jump on
a whim like "boing, boing."
**[07:27] Hina**
* This isn't anything new,*
* but he sucks at sound effects.*
**[07:31] Kage**
So far, they've been doing the trick
**[07:33] ---**
and I'm sure you're doing
your best during matches.
**[07:36] Kage**
But...
**[07:38] Kage**
I know that you can jump higher.
**[07:41] Kage**
When you jump, where
do you put your weight?
**[07:46] Hina**
Where?
**[07:49] Hina**
My feet, right?
**[07:50] Kage**
What part of your feet, you dumbass!
**[07:53] Hina**
Well, I never really thought about it!
**[07:55] Kage**
Really?! So you were just flying that high
without thinking about it, you nitwit?!
**[07:59] Hina**
Wait, why am I getting yelled at?!
**[08:05] Kage**
Huge and stable jumps give you more
freedom to react when you're in the air.
**[08:11] Kage**
And when you make those jumps,
**[08:14] ---**
you hear the sound of your
feet kicking off the floor.
**[08:19] Daichi**
You think they'll keep it at "just a little"?
**[08:23] Daichi**
It looks like it'll start
snowing any moment now.
**[08:25] Azu**
You actually believed their
"just a little," Daichi?
**[08:29] Daichi**
Shut up.
**[08:30] Suga**
Wait. Where are Hinata and Kageyama?
**[08:33] Daichi**
They said they'd be done
in just a little bit.
**[08:36] Suga**
It's impressive.
**[08:38] Daichi**
What is?
**[08:39] Suga**
I can get feeling like you're raring
to go after going to a training camp,
**[08:42] Suga**
but I'd prefer to take a
little break afterwards.
**[08:44] Suga**
How much does that kid love volleyball?
**[08:48] Azu**
But...
**[08:50] Azu**
Am I the only one who thinks
**[08:52] ---**
that Kageyama's had a scowl on
his face ever since he came back?
**[08:58] Hina**
One more time!
**[09:02] Hina**
*Yeah... It's amazing.*
**[09:05] Hina**
*The height and positioning are perfect.*
**[09:08] Hina**
*And he does it every single time.*
**[09:10] Hina**
*He really is good.*
**[09:13] Kage**
Hey!
**[09:14] Kage**
Your jump's drifting again!
**[09:17] Kage**
Put all of your weight
on the balls of your feet!
**[09:20] Kage**
There's a huge difference when you're
actually thinking about that!
**[09:30] Hina**
*The balls of my feet...*
**[09:31] ---**
* Concentrate on the momentum*
* of the lead up and then...*
**[09:37] Hina**
*Jump!*
**[09:40] Daichi**
Go home!
**[10:02] Tana**
Nice kill!
**[10:06] Kiyo**
Something wrong?
**[10:07] Yachi**
Oh, no. It just seems like
**[10:10] Yachi**
ever since he came back
from the training camp,
**[10:13] ---**
there are times where
Hinata gets super quiet.
**[10:18] Hina**
I think...
**[10:20] Hina**
That when Koganegawa was setting for you,
you were hitting at a higher spot.
**[10:27] Tsuki**
I'm jumping like I'm supposed to, thanks.
**[10:29] Hina**
Really? Maybe I just imagined it, then.
**[10:39] Kei**
Kageyama.
**[10:41] Kage**
Yes, sir?
**[10:44] Kei**
I mean, I've technically heard
about how the camp went, but...
**[10:49] Kei**
How was it really?
**[10:51] Kei**
You know... Is something bothering you?
**[10:55] Kage**
Nope.
**[10:56] Kei**
I see.
**[11:01] Kage**
What do you think "Goody Two-Shoes" means?
**[11:06] Kei**
Huh. So someone said that to you?
**[11:08] Kage**
Yes. Another setter at
the camp said that to me.
**[11:13] Kei**
* I shouldn't be surprised, but that camp*
* definitely must've had some hard hitters.*
**[11:19] Kei**
Nothing beats a set that's
easy for the spiker to hit.
**[11:25] Kei**
That's what that geezer always told us.
**[11:29] Kei**
I'm certain you're doing that,
**[11:33] Kei**
so there's no reason for you to hesitate.
**[11:43] Daichi**
They should be here any minute.
**[11:46] Azu**
Yeah.
**[11:47] Noya**
Asahi-san, you're not
scared anymore, are you?
**[11:54] Azu**
I couldn't ask for better opponents.
**[11:59] Azu**
Not to mention, there's
something I want to test out.
**[12:02] Noya**
Huh?

**[12:35] Futa**

**[12:37] All**
Thanks!
**[12:42] Suga**
I see they're as intimidating as ever...
**[12:49] Futa**
No locking on.
**[12:51] Birb**

**[12:53] Hina**

**[13:03] Coach**
All our boys are pumped up today.
**[13:06] Take**
Thank you! We look forward
to playing you!
**[13:15] Futa**
You'd better not hold back just
because it's a practice match.
**[13:18] Kogane**
Yes, sir! You got it!
**[13:21] (Flashback) Hina**
I think...
**[13:22] (Flashback) Hina**
That when Koganegawa was setting for you,
you were hitting at a higher spot.
**[13:33] Dai**
Gather round!
**[13:36] Kei**
Date Tech's blocking is definitely
the best in the prefecture,
**[13:39] ---**
probably even on a national level.
**[13:43] Kei**
I heard they've gotten even better
since the Spring Tournament prelims.
**[13:47] Kei**
We definitely don't have enough time
to get our blocking up to their level.
**[13:53] Kei**
Listen up. Date Tech's blocking has gotten
even better in the last six months.
**[13:58] Kei**
Get familiar with those walls.
**[14:01] Kei**
That way you won't panic when you face
similar walls during nationals.
**[14:06] All**
Right!

Nishinoya!
**[14:53] Nishi**
Got it!
**[14:57] Kogane**
* Whoa, Hinata's fast! Is that*
* the rumored ultra-fast quick?!*
**[15:12] All**
*Bunch!*
**[15:15] All**
*Read block!*
**[15:22] Take**
Yikes...
**[15:24] Take**
Our fast back row attack usually gets
only one blocker, if any at all.
**[15:28] Take**
Not to mention, they even
used Hinata-kun as a decoy...
**[15:33] Take**
They pretty much had three blockers.
**[15:38] Hina**
* They all blocked! Talk about*
* lightning-fast reflexes!*
**[15:45] Kei**
Just like Tsukishima did during our
matches with Shiratorizawa...
**[15:49] Kei**
Great blocks apply a lot of stress not only
to the spikers, but to the setters, too.
**[15:55] Kei**
For Kageyama,
**[15:57] Kei**
this might be a much harsher game
than the one against Shiratorizawa.
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[16:01] All**
All right!
**[16:03] Kogane**
We did it!
**[16:06] Futa**
Taunt us, will you?
**[16:14] Yama**
Yikes, a triple block...
**[16:17] Tsuki**
I'm sure that Kageyama wanted to get through
that high triple block on the first try.
**[16:24] Tsuki**
That brazen jerk.
**[16:26] Suga**
Looks like he tried a little too hard...
**[16:30] Kage**
* Damn it... I was sure they*
* were going to follow Hinata.*
**[16:34] Take**
Let's see... The way that Date Tech jumps
for their blocks... is read blocking.
**[16:40] Take**
That's when they jump after
seeing the set, right?
**[16:43] Take**
And their formation...
**[16:45] Take**
They use the bunch shift, right?
**[16:48] Kei**
Yeah. Bunch as in "bunch up."
**[16:52] Kei**
For bunch shifting,
**[16:54] ---**
the blockers bunch in the middle so they can move
wherever the opponents might attack,
**[16:58] ---**
and that they counter it with
as many people as possible.
***SIGN*** Bunch Shift (Up)
**[17:01] Kei**
But since they are bunched up in the middle,
**[17:04] ---**
it is harder to counter fast attacks
from either end of the court.
**[17:08] Kei**
Up until now, we and most of
our opponents, have used a spread shift.
**[17:13] Kei**
Spread means to "spread out,"
**[17:16] Kei**
so in this formation, the blocker
spread out across the whole net.
***SIGN*** Spread Shift (Out)
**[17:20] Kei**
It's not the best formation for
fast attacks in the middle,
**[17:22] Kei**
but it's be able to apply at least one
blocker to an attack anywhere on the court.
**[17:28] Take**
It sounds like the spread shift would
have a higher probability of success.
**[17:33] Take**
Because they're evenly spread out.
**[17:36] Kei**
Evenly spread out, huh?
**[17:38] Kei**
True.
**[17:40] Kei**
But when read blockers are
experienced with bunch blocking,
**[17:44] Kei**
they're pretty damn scary.
**[17:47] Noya**
Daichi-san!
**[17:50] Hina**
*Gonna break through the middle!*
**[17:53] Kei**
Their goal is to always build multiple
walls anywhere along the net.
**[17:59] Kei**
That's the bunch read blocking strategy.
**[18:09] Some**
Nice kill!
**[18:11] Hina**
* They managed to get a finger*
* on the very first one...*
**[18:14] Kage**
* And there were*
* two blockers ready...*
**[18:16] Kei**
The pressure you feel when
you've got multiple blockers on you
**[18:19] Kei**
is intense.
**[18:27] Hina**
Nice kill!
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno
**[18:31] Noya**
Give it all you've got!
**[18:32] Kei**
Right.
**[18:38] Futa**
Pantalons!
**[18:39] Ona**
Got it!
**[18:46] Coach**
* I see that they're still insanely*
* fast at scooping up the ball...*
**[19:14] Hina**
*Damn!*
**[19:15] Hina**
*Date Tech's blocks are so damn cool!*
**[19:17] Suga**
They moved to the side so fast!
**[19:20] Guy**
Not to mention, two of
them bunched up so fast.
**[19:22] All**
Yeah!
**[19:29] Kage**
Sorry about that.
**[19:31] Daichi**
It was a perfectly fine set.
**[19:38] Kage**
* Just now, I thought an attack*
* from the right was our best bet.*
**[19:44] Kage**
* Setting aside if that was actually*
* the best decision or not...*
**[19:49] Kage**
* The pressure I felt just now*
* definitely affected my actions.*
**[19:52] Kage**
*Even if it was just a little.*
**[19:55] Kage**
*Just now, Date Tech's block,*
**[19:58] Kage**
* actually made me choose*
* anything but the middle.*
**[20:02] Take**
Even watching as an amateur,
Date Tech's blocks are terrifying.
**[20:08] Kei**
Blockers and setters continue battling
even before and after the attack.
**[20:13] Kei**
It's a battle to see who can
apply the most pressure.
**[20:37] Kage**
*This is great.*
**[20:47] Kage**
*Playing a strong team... feels so good.*
***SIGN*** Date Tech Karasuno

**[21:14] Kage**
*Looking good...*
**[21:22] Azu**
My bad!
**[21:34] Kei**
One touch!
**[21:35] Futa**
Huh...
**[21:37] Futa**
I guess Karasuno does have a blocker.
**[21:42] ---**
Futakuchi-san!
**[21:48] Kei**
Feint!
**[21:53] Noya**
*Rolling...*
**[21:56] Noya**
*Thunder!*
**[22:00] Suga**
Nice, Nishinoya!
**[22:01] Some**
