[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. [01:28] Hina     What about you, Yamaguchi?

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.

[10:15] Tsuki     It wasn't like a movie or drama, where there's spurts of blood and heads go flying. [10:20] Tsuki     This was far more shocking. [10:24] Tsuki     My brother wasn't on the court.

[10:54] Tsuki     It was only a club, [10:57] ---     but it was everything to my brother. [11:01] Tsuki     In the end, it made     my brother tell pointless lies. [11:04] (Flashback) Tsuki     So you're the ace! [11:06] (Flashback) Aki     Yup! [11:08] Tsuki     But my brother probably believed... [11:12] Tsuki     ...that he could be the ace if he tried hard. [11:16] Suki     But so what if he did? [11:18] Tsuki     Would it be worth all of that trouble? [11:24] Yama     Tsukki! [11:31] Tsuki     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. [13:43] Yama     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. [14:28] Sawa     I can't see any logic or reason in his behavior. [14:30] Suga     True... SIGN    Haikyu!! SIGN    Haikyu!! SIGN    Gymnasium #1 [14:57] Yachi     Yamaguchi-kun said something     in a weird voice as he ran off, [15:00] ---     but I wonder if he's okay. [15:02] Hina     Weird voice? [15:03] Yachi     "Tsukki!" [15:05] Yahi     Like that. [15:06] Hina     Oh, so he went to see Tsukishima. [15:09] Yachi     Did something happen? [15:10] Hina     Yeah... He seemed a bit     worried about Tsukishima. [15:13] Yachi     I see. [15:15] Hina     Tsukishima never does anything that's lame. [15:18] Hina     He never fails at tests. [15:20] ---     He always does things like whoosh! [15:22] Hina     And swish! [15:24] Yachi     Yeah... [15:24] Yachi     What exactly is the difference     between "whoosh" and "swish"? [15:27] Hina     So I think he'll be okay. [15:30] Hina     Being good in volleyball or sucking at it, [15:32] ---     I think it's obvious which one's cooler. SIGN    Gymnasium #3 [15:38] Red     Oh? [15:39] Boku     What's this? [15:41] Kuro     What's this? What's this? [15:44] Tsuki     There's something I'd like to ask you. May I? [15:46] Both     Sure! [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     Ever since my straight     became usable in matches. SIGN    Straight [17:15] Boku     Because my cross hits that I was     really good at kept getting blocked, SIGN    Cross [17:19] Boku     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... [18:44] Yachi     Ah, Yamaguchi-kun came back. [18:47] Hina     Yamaguchi, where's Tsukishima? [18:49] Yama     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.
