[00:11] Kage
    A perfect serve receive...
[00:15] Hinata
    Could he be...
[00:21] Hinata
    He's shorter than me.
[00:24] Nishinoya
    Huh? Hey, what did you just say?
[00:26] Hinata
    I-I'm sorry.
[00:29] Hinata
    Um... how tall are you?
[00:33] Nishinoya
    I'm 159 centimeters.
[00:35] Hinata
    I-In the 150s!
[00:38] Hinata
    Wow...
[00:39] Nishinoya
    Wh-What?
[00:40] Hinata
    It's the first time I've looked down at someone
[00:42] ---
    since I started high school club activities.
[00:45] Nishinoya
    Don't weep with joy about it!
[00:46] ---
    You're not looking down that far!
[00:49] Tanaka
    Hey! Noya-san.
[00:51] Nishinoya
    Hey, Ryu.
[00:53] Sawa/Suga
    Nishinoya.
[00:55] Nishi
    Hey!
[00:56] Sawa
    Let me introduce you.
[00:58] Sawa
    This is Nishinoya, a second-year.
[01:00] Hin/Kag
    Hi.
[01:01] Nishi
    Hey! You guys are first-years, huh?
[01:03] Nishi
    You, the guy that was serving!
     The tall guy with the nasty glare.
[01:07] Nishi
    What junior high are you from?
[01:09] Kage
    Kitagawa Daiichi.
[01:10] Nishi
    Seriously?
[01:11] ---
    That's a power school.
     No wonder you serve like that.
[01:14] Nishi
    We played against you guys and lost 2 to 1.
[01:18] Nishi
    Your serve was amazing then, too.
[01:20] Sawa/Suga
    Noisy as ever.
[01:22] Kage
    What junior high were you at, Nishinoya-san?
[01:25] Nishi
    Chidoriyama.
[01:27] Kage
    That's a power school.
[01:29] ---
    Why did you come to Karasuno?
[01:31] Kage
    Because you heard coach Ukai
     was coming back?
[01:35] Nishi
    No... I came to Karasuno because...
[01:42] Nishi
    Because I like the girls' uniform.
[01:44] ---
    Intensely.
[01:47] Nishi
    And the girls have lived up
     to my expectations.
[01:51] ---
    And above all...
[01:53] Nishi
    because of the boy's uniform. In black!
[01:57] Nishi
    I wore a blazer in junior high,
    so I admired this uniform.
[02:00] Nishi
    It's not brown or grey, but black!
[02:02] Tanaka
    I know what you mean.
[02:03] Nishi
    Karasuno has black uniforms,
    and the girl's uniform is cute.
[02:07] Nishi
    The school's close to home.
    It was a no-brainer.
[02:12] Nishi
    Kiyoko-san! I've come to see you!
[02:16] Suga
    He's like a hurricane, as usual.
[02:18] Hinata
    A guerrilla downpour.
[02:20] Sawa
    Quite the noisemaker, isn't he?
[02:22] Sawa
    Yet when he plays, he's surprisingly...
[02:25] Sawa
    ...quiet.
[02:27] Nishi
    And? Where's Asahi-san? Did he come back?
[02:32] Sawa
    No.
[02:37] Nishi
    That wimp!
[02:39] Tanaka
    Hey, Noya!
    Don't talk like that about your senpai!
[02:42] Nishi
    Shut up!
[02:43] ---
    A wimp is a wimp.
[02:45] Nishi
    If Asahi-san's not coming back, neither am I.
[02:48] Tanaka
    Hey, Noya!
SIGN    Haikyu!!
[04:26] Nishi
    My job is to keep things connected.
[04:31] Nishi
    The sky is the domain of the spikers.
[04:33] Nishi
    It's not a place where I can battle,
[04:37] Nishi
    but if I keep things connected...
    as long I maintain connections...
[04:41] Nishi
    the ace will surely score for our side.
[04:44] Nishi
    Even if the ball bounces off the wall...
[04:46] Nishi
    I'll make sure it stays connected.
[04:49] Nishi
    So give me another chance.
[04:52] Nishi
    Give me another chance to
    let you decide the toss...
[04:54] Nishi
    Ace.
SIGN    Episode 8: He Who is Called "Ace"
[05:00] Hinata
    U-Um...
[05:03] Hinata
    Nishinoya-san, you're a libero, right?
[05:06] ---
    You're a defender.
[05:07] Nishi
    It's Nishinoya.
[05:09] ---
    And what makes you think I'm a libero?
[05:11] Nishi
    Because I'm short?
[05:12] Hinata
    Huh? No...
[05:14] Hinata
    Because you're a good receiver.
[05:17] Hinata
    Libero is a position for good receivers, right?
[05:20] Hinata
    That's right, isn't it?
[05:22] Nishi
    You know what you're talking about.
[05:25] Hinata
    Plus, the captain also called
    you the Guardian God.
[05:29] Nishi
    Guardian? What the heck is that?
[05:31] Nishi
    He's exaggerating.
     I'm not all that...
[05:37] Nishi
    He really said that?
[05:38] Hinata
    Yeah, yeah.
[05:40] Nishi
    But I don't care if he called me
     a cool name like that.
[05:42] Nishi
    I won't bend so easily.
[05:45] Nishi
    Damn you, Daichi-san!
[05:47] Hinata
    I'm still lousy at receiving,
[05:50] Hinata
    even though it's the most
    important thing in volleyball.
[05:54] Hinata
    So please teach me how, Nishi...
[05:57] Hinata
    Nishinoya-senpai.
[06:05] Nishi
    You...
[06:08] Nishi
    I'll buy you ice cream after practice.
[06:11] Hinata
    Huh?
[06:12] Nishi
    Because I'm...
[06:15] Nishi
    ...your senpai!
[06:18] Hinata
    Does that mean...
[06:19] Nishi
    That doesn't mean I'm going
    back to that club.
[06:22] Nishi
    I'm going to teach you. That's all.
[06:24] Hinata
    Thanks.
[06:29] Nishi
    So, essentially...
[06:32] Nishi
    You go zip, then go whoop, and pow.
[06:35] Nishi
    Like that.
[06:39] Tanaka
    It's no good.
[06:40] ---
    He can't explain it because
     he moves purely on instinct.
[06:43] Kage
    Really? I sort of understood
    what he was saying.
[06:46] Tanaka
    Because you belong to his species.
[06:48] Tanaka
    When you explain something,
[06:50] ---
    all you say is "pow" and "whoa" and stuff.
[06:52] Tanaka
    Nobody else understands you.
[06:55] Takeda
    Libero is a special position, isn't it?
[06:58] Sawa
    Yes.
SIGN    Libero (L)
[07:00] Sawa
    The libero specializes
     exclusively in defense.
[07:03] Sawa
    They're not allowed to make offensive plays,
    like serving or spiking.
[07:06] Sawa
    They switch places with the
    rearguards to solidify defense.
[07:10] Takeda
    So that's the Guardian God of Karasuno.
[07:12] ---
    How awesome.
[07:14] Sawa
    It would give us a real shot
     in the arm if he came back.
SIGN    Master of a Hundred Battles
[07:18] Sawa
    He has a very strong presence,
    notwithstanding his short stature.
[07:18] Nishi
    You, I've been noticing your height.
[07:20] Nishi
    How tall are you?
[07:21] Yama
    Tsukki is—
[07:22] Tsuki
    Shut up, Yamaguchi.
[07:22] Sawa
    He inspires confidence.
[07:23] Yama
    Sorry, Tsukki.
[07:25] Suga
    In any case,
     Nishinoya hasn't lost his touch at all.
[07:28] Tanaka
    He said he continued training
    even after he got suspended.
[07:31] Tanaka
    Apparently he mingled with a
    middle-aged ladies' team.
[07:34] Suga
    That sounds like Hinata.
[07:36] Hinata
    Um, Nishinoya-senpai.
[07:38] Nishi
    Hm?
[07:39] Hinata
    You were talking about
    "Asahi-san." Who's he?
[07:42] Tanaka
    Moron, don't say that name carelessly.
[07:46] Nishi
    He's Karasuno's ace, for what it's worth.
[07:50] Hinata
    Ace?
[07:51] Hinata
    So there is an ace here.
[07:54] Nishi
    What's with the empty-headed look?
[07:56] Hinata
    I... want to be the ace.
[07:59] Nishi
    Huh?
[08:00] Nishi
    Ace? With your height?
[08:06] Nishi
    I like you.
[08:08] Nishi
    Right? You want it because
    it's awesome, right?
[08:11] Nishi
    Good, good. Do it, do it.
    Become the ace.
[08:14] Nishi
    You'd be far more impressive
    than our current ace.
[08:19] Nishi
    But then again, it's the
    ace that inspires you.
[08:22] Hinata
    Yes. Aces are awesome.
[08:24] Nishi
    The word "ace" has an awesome ring to it.
[08:28] Nishi
    "Setter" and "libero" sound boring.
[08:31] Suga
    It's all right.
[08:33] Nishi
    But... in a match,
    when the crowd is going crazy...
[08:41] Nishi
    even more than at an amazing spike,
[08:43] ---
    is when there's a super receive.
[08:46] Nishi
    In the battle of height that is volleyball,
[08:48] ---
    libero is one of the few positions
    in which a short player can survive.
[08:53] Nishi
    But I'm not a libero because of my height.
[08:57] Nishi
    I'd be a libero even if
    I was two meters tall.
[09:03] Nishi
    Even if your side misses the spike,
    even if your side can't block...
[09:06] Nishi
    as long as the ball doesn't
    hit the court...
[09:08] Nishi
    in volleyball, that means you haven't lost.
[09:12] Nishi
    And the one best suited to do that...
[09:15] Nishi
    ...is the libero.
[09:17] Hinata
    A-Awesome.
[09:20] Nishi
    J-Jackass. Don't say it
    so sincerely! Damn it!
[09:23] Nishi
    I'll buy you two kinds of ice cream.
    Soda ice and pear flavor.
[09:26] Hinata
    Thanks!
[09:27] Nishi
    So, ace-wannabe.
     What's your specialty?
[09:30] Hinata
    Huh?
[09:31] Nishi
    You're a lousy receiver, but there
    must be something you're good at.
[09:34] Hinata
    Well, um...
[09:36] Hinata
    Decoy...
[09:38] Nishi
    Huh? De-what?
[09:40] Hinata
    Decoy.
[09:43] Nishi
    Why do you say it with
    such a lack of confidence?
[09:46] Hinata
    Because it doesn't sound flashy
    like ace or Guardian God.
[09:51] Nishi
    Who cares how it sounds?
[09:53] Hinata
    But...
[09:54] Nishi
    If a spiker is able to score
    it's because of you, the decoy,
[09:59] Nishi
    then your position is just as important.
[10:04] Hinata
    Yes.
[10:06] Suga
    Karasuno has the most formidable decoy now.
[10:09] Suga
    Thanks to Hinata and Kageyama,
     spikes that have never worked are possible.
[10:14] Sawa
    Yeah.
[10:16] Suga
    I feel we're definitely about to change,
[10:18] Suga
    because of the synergy
    Takeda-sensei was talking about.
[10:21] Sawa
    I hope we change for the better.
[10:23] Suga
    Don't be so doubtful.
[10:28] Takeda
    I know I'm being stubborn,
    but I'm begging you.
[10:32] Takeda
    I'm inexperienced
    and pathetically inadequate.
[10:36] Takeda
    But those boys have wonderful potential.
[10:38] Takeda
    Please be their coach,
[10:42] Takeda
    Ukai-kun.
[10:45] Ukai
    You sure are persistent, Sensei.
SIGN    Sakanoshita
[10:48] Takeda
    That's the only thing I'm good at.
[10:51] Ukai
    Being tenacious won't get me to coach them.
[10:54] Ukai
    My granddad was a coach,
    but I'm not cut out for it.
[11:01] Ukai
    Sensei, I know you want a
    technical instructor,
[11:06] Ukai
    but what you're really after is
    the illustrious name of "Ukai."
[11:09] Takeda
    Frankly, there is that, too.
[11:12] Takeda
    Ever since Coach Ukai retired,
[11:14] ---
    our school gradually fell
     behind other schools.
[11:17] Takeda
    This year I was hired
    to fill the hole he had left,
[11:19] Takeda
    but I can't even get other schools
    to agree to practice matches.
[11:22] Ukai
    You think my illustrious name
     would turn things around?
[11:26] Takeda
    I implore you, Ukai-kun.
[11:28] Ukai
    I refuse.
[11:30] Ukai
    I acknowledge your commitment,
[11:33] Ukai
    but I don't want to babysit
    a bunch of pesky high schoolers.
[11:38] Takeda
    I'll be back.
[11:41] Ukai
    What part of, "I refuse,"
    don't you understand?
[11:45] Takeda
    I'm sorry for being so persistent,
[11:47] Takeda
    but,
[11:49] ---
    you'll understand if you see those boys play.
[11:56] Ukai
    Hey! I don't care how many
    times you ask. I'm not—
[12:01] Ukai
    Damn it!
[12:03] Ukai
    Ouch!
[12:11] Suga
    All right.
[12:34] Asahi
    Hey, Suga. It's been a while.
[12:37] Suga
    Please.
[12:39] ---
    Come back to us, Asahi.
[12:44] Suga
    Nishinoya's no longer suspended.
    He's coming back, too.
[12:47] Asashi
    I see. I'm glad.
[12:49] ---
    It's reassuring to have Nishinoya behind you.
[12:53] Suga
    And you, too.
[12:54] Suga
    Everyone feels better when you're
    there to decide the toss.
[12:58] Asa
    I appreciate the sentiment,
[13:01] ---
    but I'd get in everyone's way
    again if I came back.
[13:04] Suga
    Listen to me.
[13:05] ---
    I hate to admit it, but we have an amazing first-year setter now,
[13:08] ---
    and a formidable decoy.
[13:11] Suga
    You won't have to bear
    all the burden alone any more.
[13:14] Suga
    If you and Nishinoya come back,
    along with our new reinforcements,
[13:18] ---
    Karasuno will no longer be the fallen champs.
[13:21] Suga
    Now that our team is on
    the verge of transformation,
[13:23] ---
    we need our pillar,
     the ace, more than ev—
[13:24] Student
    Azumane.
[13:26] Student
    The guidance counselor's ready for you.
[13:29] Asa
    Sorry, Suga.
[13:34] Hinata
    You better go first.
[13:35] Kage
    You're the one who wanted to see the ace.
[13:38] Hinata
    B-But the third-year classroom is scary.
[13:41] Suga
    Wait, Asahi!
[13:42] Hin/Kag
    Asahi?
[13:43] Asa
    What?
[13:45] Suga
    Huh? What are you guys doing here?
[13:48] Hinata
    Oh, um...
SIGN    Faculty Room
[13:50] Takeda
    Yes. Yes!
[13:52] Takeda
    Thank you very much.
[13:53] Takeda
    No, you, too. Yes. Goodbye.
[14:00] Takada
    Good, good.
[14:01] Takeda
    This is our big chance.
[14:03] Takeda
    Something...
SIGN    Training Camp 5/6 (Practice Match) 9:00 AM
[14:05] Takeda
    Something is bound to change.
SIGN    Third-Year Class 3
[14:08] Suga
    Let me introduce our new members,
     Hinata and Kageyama.
[14:12] Asa
    So you're the first-years.
[14:14] Hin/Kag
    Hello.
[14:15] Asa Vo
    Hey. How many, this year?
[14:16] Hinata
    He's shorter than Tsukishima,
[14:18] Suga Vo
    Four.
[14:19] Hinata
    but there's something bigger about him.
[14:22] Hinata
    So he's the ace of Karasuno.
[14:23] Asa
    I see.
[14:25] Hinata
    He's not as scary as I first thought.
[14:27] Asa
    Do your best.
[14:28] Hinata
    What?
[14:29] ---
    Aren't you going to play, too?
[14:32] Hinata
    I want to become the ace,
[14:34] ---
    so I want to watch an ace play in person.
[14:37] Student
    Azumane. Sensei's waiting.
[14:41] Asa
    Sorry, but I'm no ace.
[14:48] Kage
    Is he injured or something?
[14:50] Suga
    No, it's not like that...
[14:54] Suga
    I think...
[14:56] ---
    I think the problem is that he
     doesn't like volleyball any more.
[14:59] Hinata
    What? But he's so tall
    and he's an ace! Why?
[15:04] Suga
    Asahi was...
[15:06] Suga
    the tallest in Karasuno,
[15:08] Suga
    and he had power.
[15:10] Suga
    He rescued us when things got rough
    and managed difficult balls.
[15:15] Suga
    That's why everyone acknowledged
    that he was the ace,
[15:18] ---
    and we trusted him.
[15:20] Suga
    But...
[15:22] Kage
    Was he defeated?
[15:25] Suga
    There was a match in which
     all of his spikes got blocked.
[15:31] Suga
    He's the type to shoulder all the blame.
[15:39] Kage
    What?
[15:41] Hinata
    Would something like that
    make you dislike volleyball?
[15:44] Kage
    There must've been other reasons.
[15:47] Hinata
    Like what?
[15:48] Kage
    I don't know.
[15:49] Kage
    But we don't know if he
    dislikes it for sure.
[15:57] Nishi
    Rolling...
[15:59] Nishi
    ...thunder!
[16:06] Suga
    Nice receive.
[16:07] Tanaka
    That's just an ordinary rolling receive.
[16:09] Kage
    Why did he yell that out?
[16:11] Tsuki
    What was that?
[16:12] Nishi
    Kageyama. Tsukishima. Yamaguchi.
[16:14] Nishi
    I'm going to lecture you all.
[16:16] ---
    Crouch down! I mean, sit down!
[16:18] Nishi
    Get lower than my line of vision!
[16:19] Hinata
    Teach me! Teach me the Rolling Thunder!
[16:22] Takeda
    Good job, everyone.
[16:24] Takeda
    I want you all to listen up.
[16:26] Takeda
    We're doing it again this year, aren't we?
[16:29] Takeda
    Golden Week training camp!
[16:31] Hinata
    Training camp?
[16:33] Sawa
    Yes. We still need a lot of practice.
[16:36] Takeda
    One more thing.
    For the last day of Golden Week...
[16:40] Takeda
    I've arranged a practice match!
[16:43] Tanaka
    Awesome! Very impressive, Take-chan.
[16:45] Suga
    Who's our opponent?
[16:47] Tanaka
    A venerated school in Tokyo,
    Nekoma High School.
[16:50] Tanaka
    They call themselves...
[16:53] Tanaka
    "Neko."
[16:55] Hinata
    Neko?
[16:56] Tanaka
    We've heard a lot about them.
[16:59] Tanaka
    Our former coach and theirs were rivals.
[17:01] ---
    We played each other a lot.
[17:03] Hinata
    Whoa.
[17:04] Suga
    That's right.
[17:05] ---
    Those famous matches were called
     "Cat vs Crow: Battle at the Garbage Dump."
[17:10] Tsuki
    You sure those matches were famous?
[17:13] Sawa
    They've refused us for a while. Why now?
[17:16] Takeda
    Yeah, I'll tell you the details later.
[17:20] Takeda
    But after I heard about that rival school,
[17:23] Takeda
    I had to arrange for a rematch of destiny.
[17:27] Takeda
    I think when he hears who our opponent is...
SIGN    Sakanoshita Shop
[17:30] Takeda
    He'll want to take action.
[17:36] Suga
    All right. We have an important
    practice match coming up.
[17:38] Suga
    Let's get fired up.
[17:40] Team
    Yes.
[17:42] Tanaka
    Tokyo, huh?
[17:44] ---
    I'll smash those city boys to smithereens.
[17:48] Tsuki
    He said, "shitty boys."
[17:49] Tanaka
    Shut the hell up, Tsukishima!
[17:52] Nishi
    Daichi-san.
[17:54] Nishi
    I'm sorry. I won't be playing
     in the practice match.
[17:58] Sawa
    Nishinoya.
[17:59] Hinata
    I wonder what the Tokyo school's like.
[18:00] Nishi
    Shoyo is a good guy.
[18:02] ---
    Are they strong?
[18:02] ---
    The first-years are interesting
    and a force to be reckoned with.
[18:03] Kage
    How would I know? Just shut up.
[18:06] Nishi
    I feel this team is going
    in the right direction now.
[18:11] Nishi
    I want to train with you all, too.
[18:14] Nishi
    But...
[18:15] Nishi
    if I played in the match and our team won,
[18:19] Nishi
    it would be proof that
    we can do without Asahi-san.
[18:22] Nishi
    I don't like that.
[18:24] Nishi
    He's always fought alongside us, but now...
[18:27] Nishi
    I'm sorry for being difficult.
[18:30] Sawa
    All right. But come to the training camp.
[18:33] Nishi
    Huh? But...
[18:34] Hinata
    Noya-san! Do it again.
    Show me the Rolling Thunder again!
[18:37] Sawa
    Okay?
[18:44] Sawa
    Good job.
[18:45] Team
    Good job!
[18:48] Hinata
    I wonder if things would go smoother
[18:50] ---
    for Sugawara-san and Nishinoya-san
    if Asahi-san came back.
[18:54] Kage
    Who knows?
[18:55] Hinata
    I heard Asahi-san takes all
    the blame upon himself,
[18:59] Hinata
    but don't you think
    Sugawara-san is like that, too?
[19:03] Kage
    I guess they both have a
    sense of responsibility,
[19:07] Kage
    even though you don't win
    a game by yourself.
[19:09] Hinata
    Y-You should talk!
[19:11] Hinata
    I clearly remember your words...
[19:15] Hinata
    "I wish I could receive, toss,
    and spike, all by myself."
[19:20] Kage
    Shut up!
[19:22] Hinata
    "I wish I could..."
[19:29] Hinata
    Everyone on our side of
    the net should be an ally.
[19:32] Kage
    Huh?
[19:34] Hinata
    I don't like it when we don't get along.
[19:47] Asa
    I appreciate the sentiment, but...
[19:49] Asa
    Why are you so interested in me?
    We haven't even practiced together.
[19:53] Hinata
    Because if you don't come back,
[19:55] ---
    the second and third-years
    will stay disheartened.
[19:58] Kage
    You're being way too loud.
[20:00] Asa
    You guys are interesting.
[20:02] Asa
    But, I'm sorry to say...
[20:05] Asa
    I can no longer visualize spiking
    past high blocks in front of me.
[20:15] Asa
    I can't get the thoughts of getting shut out,
[20:17] ---
    of seeing myself intimidated,
    and self-destructing out of my head...
[20:22] Hinata
    Y-You might think what I'm about to say
    is cocky for a first-year shrimp.
[20:27] Asa
    I won't think that. What is it?
[20:30] Hinata
    I understand how you feel.
[20:31] Hinata
    I'm short and have no technique,
    so I constantly get blocked.
[20:36] Hinata
    But now...
[20:38] Hinata
    I have this guy tossing to me,
[20:39] ---
    so I can get past any blocker.
[20:42] Hinata
    All the blockers vanish from sight...
[20:44] Hinata
    And the view of the other
    side of the net opens up.
[20:48] Asa
    Ah... I sort of know what that view is like.
[20:53] Hinata
    Then, at the highest point,
    the ball hits my hand,
[20:56] Hinata
    I feel the heft of the ball
     snug in my palm.
[21:00] Hinata
    I love that!
[21:02] Asa
    I know that feeling well.
[21:05] Hinata
    I envy you, Asahi-san.
[21:08] Hinata
    I don't have the height or power
    to spike through blockers on my own,
[21:12] Asa
    but you do, Asahi-san.
[21:14] Hinata
    Maybe they've blocked lots of your spikes,
[21:17] Hinata
    but you've spiked lots
    of points, too, haven't you?
[21:21] Asa
    That's why everyone calls
    you the ace, Asahi-san.
[21:30] Kage
    It's time. Let's go.
[21:33] Kage
    Moron, we'll be late for class.
[21:39] Kage
    Um...
[21:41] Kage
    You don't win alone.
    That's just how it is.
[21:43] Kage
    That's why there are six
    players on the court.
[21:46] Kage
    I didn't realize that till just recently,
[21:49] Kage
    so I'm not one to talk.
[21:51] ---
    Excuse me.
[22:00] Student1
    Let's go home together.
[22:02] Student2
    Want to grab a bite somewhere?
[22:10] Hinata
    One more! Give me another!
[22:13] Kage
    Shut up! I know that. Here goes.
[22:15] Hinata
    Yeah.
[22:23] Hinata
    And then at the highest point,
    the ball hits my hand,
[22:27] Hinata
    I feel the heft of the ball,
    snug in my palm
[22:31] Hinata
    I love that!
[22:35] Asa
    I know...
[22:39] Asa
    I know it well.

[24:13] Kage
    I wish Azumane-san would come back.
[24:16] Hinata
    He had a stubbly beard.
[24:17] Kage
    Huh?
[24:18] Hinata
    Maybe I'd be like an ace
    if I grew a stubbly beard.
[24:21] Hinata
    Will a hair-growth lotion
    help me grow a beard?

    Who knows, you numbskull?!
