    You're such a freckle face, Tadashi.
[00:13] Boyb
    Why are you so puny?
[00:17] (Flashback) Boyb
    You've got to bulk up, so you
    get to carry all of our bags.
[00:25] (Flashback) Boyb
    Seriously? You're crying?

    He cries about everything!

    You crybaby.

    Hey, isn't he a sixth grader?
[00:41] (Flashback) Boyb
    No, he's just from class 3.
[00:45] (Flashback) Tsuki
    Lame.
[00:50] (Flashback) Boyb
    What'd you mean?!
[00:52] (Flashback) ---
    Hey, wait a sec!
[00:55] (Flashback) Tsuki
    What?

    Y-You're lame, four-eyes!

    H-Hey, wait a sec.
[01:06] Yama
    "Lame."
[01:08] Yama
    At the time, Tsukki might have actually
    been talking about me, too.
[01:14] Yama
    But more importantly,
[01:16] ---
    the fact that he was able to say that
    to the bullies who threatened me...
[01:21] Yama
    That made him look really cool,
    and I was envious.
[01:24] Yama
    I wanted to be like that.

    Hey, Tsukishima!

    We're gonna practice the synchronized

    I can still go, too.

    There'll be three wing spikers,

    I wanna get the timing down.
[03:30] Tana
    Wait... You aren't trying to
     become a regular, are you?
[03:35] Enn
    Don't think I'm gonna be
    warming that bench forever.

[04:58] (Flashback) Tsuki
    That'd be awesome if could make regular.

[05:59] (Flashback) Aki
    Here, get into position.

    Here we go.
[06:07] (Flashback) Aki
    Kei, don't try to raise it with your arms.
[06:10] (Flashback) Aki
    See, you lower your hips
[06:12] (Flashback) ---
    and then do it like you're sending
    it off with your whole body.

    Throw it to me a sec.

    Wow!

    Thank you for the other day.
[06:53] (Flashback) Tsuki
    Have we met?

    The... other day... a-at the park...
[07:01] (Flashback) Tsuki
    Oh. So, what are you doing here?
[07:01] (Flashback) Yama
    The park...
[07:04] (Flashback) Yama
    Oh, um...
[07:06] (Flashback) ---
    I wanted to play some kind of sport...
[07:09] (Flashback) Yama
    There are a lot of scary guys
     in baseball and soccer,
[07:12] (Flashback) Yama
    but this seemed safe.
[07:15] (Flashback) Yama
    Ah!
[07:16] (Flashback) Yama
    Those shoes are awesome!
[07:19] (Flashback) ---
    I still only have the
    school-issued gym shoes.
[07:22] (Flashback) Tsuki
    Mine are hand-me-downs.
[07:24] (Flashback) ---
    These were my older brother's, and I'm
    using them until I get my own next week.
[07:26] (Flashback) Yama
    Your brother plays volleyball, too?
[07:29] (Flashback) Tsuki
    He plays at a really strong
    high school called Karasuno.
[07:32] (Flashback) Tsuki
    He's like the ace.
[07:35] (Flashback) Yama
    H-He's the ace of a powerhouse school?!
[07:38] (Flashback) ---
    Th-That's awesome!
[07:40] (Flashback) Tsuki
    N-Nah... It's not that big of a deal.
[07:43] (Flashback) ---
    He's been one ever since junior high.
[07:44] (Flashback) Yama
    Wow!
[07:46] (Flashback) Yama
    How long has he been playing?
[07:47] (Flashback) ---
    Did he play on this team?
[07:49] (Flashback) Yama
    Aces are totally cool!
[07:53] (Flashback) Aki
    I'm home.
[07:56] (Flashback) Tsuki
    How was your practice match today?
[07:58] (Flashback) Aki
    Yeah, it went great!
[08:00] (Flashback) ---
    I got a lot of spikes in!
[08:02] (Flashback) Tsuki
    That's cool.

    I'm gonna go to Karasuno's match
    tomorrow, but do you wanna come?
[08:20] (Flashback) Tsuki
    My brother told me not to come
    because it'll make him nervous,
[08:23] (Flashback) Tsuki
    but since my brother's a third-year,
[08:25] (Flashback) ---
    this is his final match in the prefecture.
[08:27] (Flashback) Yama
    I'll go! I've never seen Akiteru-kun play.
[08:31] (Flashback) Boy
    Tsukishima, your brother's in
    Karasuno's volleyball club, too?

    Wing spiker.
[08:38] (Flashback) Boy
    Hey! So does mine.
[08:40] (Flashback) Boy
    That team practically has
    a caste system, so it's rough.
[08:43] (Flashback) Boy
    If you can't even play in matches,
[08:45] (Flashback) ---
    you really have to wonder if going
    to a powerhouse school is worth it.
[08:48] (Flashback) Yama
    Tsukki's brother plays in the matches.
[08:51] (Flashback) Boy
    Wha? No way.
[08:53] (Flashback) Boy
    I saw a match recently,
[08:55] (Flashback) ---
    and none of the regulars
    were named Tsukishima.
[09:01] (Flashback) Tsuki
    That can't be true.
[09:03] (Flashback) Tsuki
    I hear about the matches all the time.
[09:05] (Flashback) ---
    It's gotta be some kind of mistake.
[09:08] (Flashback) Boy
    You can see for yourself at the match.

    Yeah, I can.

    So you're the ace!
[11:06] (Flashback) Aki

    Would it be worth all of that trouble?

    What?
[11:34] Yama
    Tsukki, you were always able to do
    anything while being cool and smart,
[11:39] Yama
    so I've always been jealous.
[11:43] Tsuki
    And?
[11:48] Yama
    But you're being lame lately, Tsukki!
[11:52] Yama
    Hinata might become the
    Little Giant some day.
[11:56] Yama
    That just means you have to beat him, Tsukki!
[11:59] Yama
    You just need to become an
    even better player than Hinata
[12:01] ---
    and prove your skills!
[12:04] Yama
    You have the height, brains, and instinct,
[12:07] Tsuki
    so why do you decide that
    getting any better is impossible?
[12:16] Tsuki
    Even if...
[12:18] ---
    I worked really hard and became the
    best player on Karasuno's team,
[12:22] Tsuki
    what would happen after that?
[12:24] Tsuki
    Even if there's a tiny chance
    we might make it to nationals,
[12:27] ---
    what happens after that?
[12:29] Tsuki
    No matter how high you climb,
     there's always someone better.
[12:32] Tsuki
    Even if you are able to show
    some results somewhere,
[12:34] ---
    you'll never actually be number one!
[12:36] Tsuki
    You're gonna lose somewhere!
[12:38] Tsuki
    You all know that, so how
    can you keep going?!
[12:54] Yama
    What else do we need besides pride?!
[13:11] Tsuki
    To think this day would come...
[13:24] Tsuki
    When did you become so cool?
[13:28] Tsuki
    You're actually cool.
[13:30] Yama
    T-Tsukki? What's wrong?
[13:31] Tsuki
    If anything...
[13:33] ---
    It's at least better than my
    worn-out train of thought.
[13:36] Tsuki
    But I can't accept that.
[13:39] Yama
    Huh?
[13:40] Tsui
    I'm gonna go ask something.

    Tsukki?!
[13:47] Suga
    Hey, Daichi.
[13:49] Sawa
    Yeah?
[13:50] Suga
    You sure it's okay to leave Tsukishima alone?
[13:52] Sawa
    If you force someone to do it,
[13:54] ---
    it's not actually free practice.
[13:56] Suga
    I know, but...
[13:59] Sawa
    Ever since we had our first 3-on-3,
[14:02] ---
    I haven't been that worried.
[14:06] Sawa
    But if there's even the slightest chance
    that Tsukishima says he's gonna quit,
[14:09] Sawa
    I'll do whatever I have to to stop him,
[14:10] Sawa
    so I might need you to help me out then.
[14:13] Sawa
    I don't understand how Tsukishima thinks.
[14:16] Sawa
    We're basically developing at this point,
[14:19] ---
    and we don't know the
    limits of our potential.
[14:22] Sawa
    Even if we felt those limits,
    we would still keep aiming higher.

    Did something happen?

[15:49] Tsuki
    Thank you very much.
[15:52] Tsuki
    Both of your schools
[15:54] Tsuki
    are sometimes considered
     powerhouse schools, right?
[15:56] Uro
    Well, yeah.
[15:57] Tsuki
    Even if you were able
    to make it to nationals,
[15:59] ---
    actually winning there
    would be difficult, right?
[16:02] Boku
    But not impossible!
[16:03] Aka
    Now, now, let's hear him out.
[16:05] ---
    This is just a what-if.
[16:07] Tsuki
    I seriously can't figure out how
    everyone can be so determined.
[16:13] Tsuki
    Volleyball is just a club,
[16:15] ---
    and maybe you'll get to write,
[16:16] Tsuki
    "I worked really hard in my club in high school,"
[16:18] ---
    on your resume, right?
[16:22] Boku
    "Just a club"?
[16:25] Boku
    That almost sounds like someone's name.
[16:27] Kuro
    Ooh, like Mary Club?
[16:30] Kuro
    No wait, I guess it was "just some club."
[16:33] Boku
    Aw, man! So it doesn't
    sound like someone's name.
[16:35] ---
    Man, I was so close!
[16:37] Boku
    Damn it!
[16:38] Tsuki
    Are you basically asking me to retort?
[16:40] Aka
    Nah. There'll be no end to it.
[16:41] Boku
    Say, four-eyes.
[16:44] Tsuki
    It's Tsukishima.
[16:45] Boku
    Say, Tsukishima-kun...
[16:47] ---
    Is volleyball fun?
[16:51] Tsuki
    No, not really...
[16:53] Boku
    Maybe that's because you suck.
[16:57] Boku
    I'm a third-year and I've been to nationals,
[17:00] ---
    and I'm better than you. Like way better.
[17:02] Tsuki
    You don't have to tell me that.
[17:05] Boku
    But I only recently starting thinking
     that volleyball was fun.
[17:10] Boku

    became usable in matches.

[17:15] Boku
    Because my cross hits that I was

    I got frustrated and practiced
    the hell out of straights.
[17:23] Boku
    And...
[17:24] Boku
    At the next tournament, the
    same blockers couldn't touch it.
[17:30] Boku
    I got right past them.
[17:34] Boku
    Just that one shot made me feel
    like my time had finally come.
[17:46] Boku
    It all depends on if you
    have that moment or not.
[17:50] Boku
    It doesn't really matter
    what happens in the future,
[17:55] ---
    or if you can win your next match.
[17:57] Boku
    The joy you feel beating
    the guy in front of you,
[18:00] ---
    and when you're able to pull out 120%
    of your potential, is everything.
[18:09] Boku
    Well, at least that's how it is for me,
[18:12] ---
    and it doesn't mean that
    applies to everyone.
[18:15] Boku
    I don't really understand why
    you say it's "just a club,"
[18:18] Boku
    but I don't think you're wrong.
[18:21] Boku
    But once that moment arrives for you,
[18:26] Boku
    that's the moment you'll
    be hooked on volleyball.
[18:34] Boku
    All right. I answered your question,
     now help with blocking.
[18:38] Kuro
    All right, now.
    Come on, hurry it up.
[18:39] Tsuki
    Wait, what...

    It looks like he got caught by the
    Nekoma and Fukurodani captains.
[18:53] Hina
    What?! I'm so jealous.
[18:55] Hina
    Maybe I'll go, too.
[18:58] Yama
    Hinata, do you think of Tsukki as your rival?
[19:01] Hina
    Huh?
[19:02] Hina
    Of course I do!
[19:04] Hina
    We play the same position,
    and he has everything I don't.
[19:08] Hina
    But I'm not gonna lose to him!
[19:11] Hina
    I've gotta practice!
[19:13] Hina
    Captain! I'm coming in!
[19:15] Yachi
    If Hinata and Tsukishima-kun are rivals,
[19:15] Sawa
    Sure.
[19:18] ---
    it's like the sun versus the moon.
[19:21] Yachi
    "Hi" means "sun" and "tsuki" means "moon."
[19:24] Yama
    Yeah, you're right!
[19:30] Hina
    Yeah!
[19:31] Yama
    I hope that happens...
[19:40] Hina
    #4!
[19:42] Yachi
    Eek...
[19:42] Some
    All right!
[19:44] Yachi
    That #4 is really intense again today.
[19:46] Ukai
    Sensei.
SIGN    Fukurodani Karasuno
[19:49] Fukuro
    All right!
[19:51] Ukai
    Even if you're not able
    to stop #4's spikes,
[19:53] ---
    at least try to touch it.
[19:54] All
    Right!
[19:56] Yachi
    I see... So even if they
    aren't able to stop it,
[19:58] ---
    if they're able to touch the ball,
     it reduces the momentum?
[20:01] Shi
    Right. There are usually
    two goals in blocking.
[20:06] Shi
    There's the soft block that's used in
    order to make the ball easier to receive,
[20:11] Shi
    and the kill block that's used
    to completely shut the ball out.
[20:15] Yachi
    Kill... as in, killing something?
[20:18] Shimi
    Yes.
[20:19] Yachi
    Eek!
[20:20] Tsuki
    We don't have to stop it?
[20:27] Ukai
    Well...
[20:29] Ukai
    If you're able to actually shut the
    ball out, there's nothing better.
[20:36] Fuku
    All right!
SIGN    Fukurodani Karasuno
[20:39] Boku
    Nice receive!
[20:40] ---
    Give it to me!
[20:42] Sawa
    Left! #4, #4!
[20:45] Kuro
    First, you need to visualize it.
[20:47] (Flashback) Kuro
    Concentrate your strength to your fingertips,
[20:49] (Flashback) ---
    so you're not blown back.
[20:52] (Flashback) Kuro
    And put your hands in front of you,
     instead of over your head.
[20:55] (Flashback) Kuro
    In front.
[20:56] (Flashback) Kuro
    And then, make this annoying owl shut up!
[20:59] (Flashback) Boku
    Just try it!
[21:02] Yachi
    Um... a soft block that reduces
    the ball's momentum, and...
[21:08] Yachi
    The one who kills the spike...
[21:19] Tana
    Feint!
[21:21] Nishi
    Damn it!
[21:22] Take
    Wow, I totally thought they were going
    to come with a full-on attack there.
[21:26] Take
    To think it was actually a feint...
[21:28] Take
    I guess that's what you get with
    an ace that went to nationals.
[21:33] Tana
    Daichi-san, that was...
[21:35] Sawa
    Yeah.
[21:37] Aka
    Bokuto-san just ran away.
[21:41] Boku
    I did not! I just got around it!
[21:43] ---
    And really well! I got around their block!
[21:45] Person
    You let your guard down.
[21:46] Boku
    Ugh! Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry!
[21:54] Neko
    Well, now...
[22:01] Neko
    Perhaps the troublesome little baby bird
    is starting to come out of his shell.
[22:10] Yachi
    Oh...
[22:12] Yachi
    The sun versus the moon?
[23:46] Boku
    Tsukki! Jump some blocks for us!
[23:47] Tsuki
    Could you please not call me that?
[23:49] Boku
    Then... How about Glasses-kun?
[23:52] Boku
    All right, let's do this thing, Akaasshi!
[23:55] Aka
    Now somehow I'm involved.
