    I haven't doubted once that we would win.
[00:05] Ushi
    But right now,
[00:07] Ushi
    I am completely sure
[00:10] Ushi
    that I want to crush you.

[02:07] Some
    Go! One more!
[02:19] Tsuk
    Ugh, it hurts.
[02:21] Tsuk
    This seriously sucks.
[02:25] Kuro
    Don't come in feeling like a decoy.
[02:28] Kuro
    Stop, then jump up.
[02:30] (Flashback) Kuro
    Oh, by the way...
[02:31] (Flashback) Kuro
    Generally, when you're
    one-on-one with a spiker,
[02:33] (Flashback) Kuro
    rather than lining up
    with their bodies to block,
[02:36] (Flashback) ---
    if you line up with their
    dominant hand...
[02:41] (Flashback) Take
    Being too comfortable can be scary.
[02:43] (Flashback) Take
    To think that the weirdo quick
    that we thought was unstoppable
[02:46] (Flashback) Take
    would be stopped...
[02:55] (Flashback) Kuro
    Yeah!
[02:56] (Flashback) Boku
    Damn it! One more time!
[02:59] (Flashback) Tsuk
    Did you just change which course
    you were going to close?
[03:02] (Flashback) Aka
    So you noticed? Not bad.
[03:04] (Flashback) Boku
    Tsukki! Jump some blocks for me! Okay?!
[03:13] Kiyo
    He's not just being calm.
    He's concentrating.
[03:15] Kiyo
    Not on how the match is going...
[03:18] Kiyo
    he's probably thinking about what
    he's going to do when he gets back.
[03:27] Yama
    Tsukki!
[03:34] Guy
    The glasses guy from Karasuno's back!
[03:37] Guy
    It's too late! It's all going
    to be over with one more point.
[03:40] Old
    It's not gonna end!
[03:44] Kei
    Tsukishima—
[03:45] Tsuk
    The bleeding has stopped.
[03:46] Tsuk
    They immobilized the part that
    was dislocated rock hard.
[03:48] Tsuk
    Because it was my pinky, it'll
    affect my play extremely little.
[03:54] Kiyo
    That basically sums it up.
[03:57] Kei
    To think a day would come
[03:58] ---
    when he'd strongly express how
    much he wants to be in the game.
[04:02] Sae
    Is Kei okay?!
[04:05] Yach
    Um... He hurt his pinky, so they taped
    it to his ring finger and immobilized it,
[04:09] Yach
    and apparently he can continue playing.
[04:12] Yach
    But I'm pretty sure...
[04:14] Yach
    The pain hasn't stopped at all.
[04:19] Hina
    I bought you some time...
[04:22] Hina
    Though, to be honest,
[04:24] Hina
    Yamaguchi actually bought more time than me.
[04:26] Tsuk
    Well, thanks for your honesty.
SIGN    Be Courageous Warriors
[04:28] Bg
    One more point! One more
    point! One more point!
[04:36] Sawa
    It's probably going to be a jump float serve.
[04:38] Sawa
    We need to move up our defenses.
[04:43] Sawa
    If we can stop them here, it'll
    be Asahi's turn to serve next.
[04:48] Leon
    Yunohama, nice serve!
[04:52] Nish
    Daichi-san!
[04:54] Sawa
    All right!
[04:56] Leon
    If they didn't have that guy, Karasuno's
    defense would be more full of holes.
[04:56] Tana
    Nice receive!
[05:08] All
    All right!
[05:09] Kage
    He read me.
[05:10] ---
    Looks like that's probably
    not going to work anymore...
SIGN    Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[05:13] Guy
    A dump right there?!
[05:15] Old
    Good! Good! Though you guys are
    taking years off my life, damn it.
[05:22] Nari
    We're counting on you, Tsukishima.
[05:32] Kei
    Well done.
[05:34] Kei
    Being able to play like you normally
    do in this situation is impressive.
[05:39] Nari
    Right!
[05:42] Tana
    Tsukishima!
[05:44] Tana
    Look at you, showing up
    like some hero, you jerk!
[05:47] Tsuk
    Um... about when we do a 3-person block...
[05:51] Tana
    Not phased one bit, are you?
[05:52] Bg
    Tsukishima!
[05:54] Bg
    We're counting on you!
[05:55] Sae
    All right.
[05:56] Sae
    Now both Tobio and Kei are back.
[05:57] Sae
    Now for the counterattack!
[06:00] Swa
    We're gonna get through this!
[06:02] All
    Yeah!
[06:09] Tsuk
    I doubt you would, but you
    don't need to hold back.
[06:12] Kage
    If you don't think I'm going to,
    then don't say it. And I won't.
[06:20] Ush
    Shirabu.
[06:21] Ush
    You remember our promise, don't you?
[06:24] Ush
    Will you be able to use me
    mercilessly in any situation?
[06:31] Shir
    Yes!
[06:33] Shim
    Serving toward the end while
    being at a disadvantage...
[06:35] Shim
    I really hate this!
[06:37] Taki
    Come on, please! Make this...
[06:39] Kei
    Don't be on your guard!
    Give it all you've got!
[06:42] Suga
    Give it everything you've got, Asahi!
[06:46] Azu
    To think that the fact that no one's
    looking this way would be so reassuring...
[06:47] Tana
    All right! Bring it!
[06:57] Leon
    Yes!
[06:58] Coa
    Yes! Yes!
[07:01] Ten
    Give it to me!
[07:07] Sae
    Again?!
[07:08] Ten
    Go! Wakatoshi-kun!
[07:20] Kiyo
    His right hand!
[07:23] Tsuk
    This is so stupid...
[07:26] Tsuk
    I'm not Hinata.
[07:29] Tsuk
    To think that I actually want
    to fight until the end...
[07:34] Tsuk
    One touch!
[07:38] Iwa
    They managed to stop it again.
[07:39] Oika
    What happened to Four-Eyes?
[07:42] Oika
    At the first practice match,
[07:45] ---
    I thought he was just a tall guy
    that was slightly intelligent.
[07:51] Asa
    Nice, Nishinoya!
[07:53] Yama
    Chance ball!
[07:56] Shir
    Ushijima-san!
[07:57] Tsuk
    Time difference from the right.
[07:58] Tsuk
    We're going to open it up!
[08:01] Tsuk
    Nishinoya-san's field of view.
[08:05] Sawa
    Nice receive!
[08:06] Tana
    I'm surprised he's able to make
    these decisions so quickly
[08:08] ---
    and still be able to instruct others.
[08:12] Tana
    Asahi-san!
[08:14] Yama
    Tsutomu!
[08:16] Yama
    Nice! Get the last!
[08:19] Tsuki
    One more time...
[08:22] Sawa
    He's planning to hit it...
[08:23] Both
    Ushiwaka three times in a row!
[08:32] Tsu
    The top of the net...
[08:34] Kei
    Yes!
[08:35] Take
    This is our chance!
[08:36] Tana
    My legs are so friggin' heavy...
[08:39] Tana
    Don't give up, legs!
[08:42] All
    I'm going to hit it!
[08:47] Hina
    Tsukishima's doing a slide hit?!
[08:50] Ten
    He's faking!
[08:52] Tsuk
    He's figured me out...
[08:54] ---
    But I managed to gain you a few seconds.
[09:05] Suga
    I-It's a break!
[09:09] All
    All right!
SIGN    Shiratorizawa Karasuno
[09:13] Yach
    We did it!
[09:14] ---
    They're at a match point!
[09:15] Shim
    One more point, and they'll
    beat Shiratorizawa!
[09:18] Sae
    I think they might just be able to do it!
[09:19] Se
    We've been pushing them
    ever since Kei came back!
[09:22] Taki
    Go, Karasuno!
[09:27] Oika
    I guess it's no surprise that
    Shiratorizawa took a timeout.
[09:31] Iwa
    Karasuno really is versatile.
[09:33] Iwa
    I've never seen Glasses do a slide
    hit... Even if he was just a decoy.
[09:37] Oika
    We can't easily abandon a near
    perfect time difference attack,
[09:43] Oika
    and Shiratorizawa's not going
    to change their style
[09:45] ---
    of strengthening individual strengths.
[09:47] Oik
    That's why we're called
    powerhouse schools now.
[09:50] Tana
    Who would've ever thought
    you'd set us up like that!
[09:51] Oika
    But Karasuno probably doesn't have
    a style they need to protect.
[09:53] Sawa
    I'm so happy, Tsukishima!
[09:56] Oika
    They may have had one when
    they were a powerhouse school.
[09:56] Kei
    Hey, sit down and rest on the
    bench, even for a moment.
[10:00] Oika
    So they don't hesitate to try new things.
[10:03] Oika
    They even gave up that miracle-like
    quick immediately and made it new.
[10:09] Oika
    The old and dependable Shiratorizawa...
[10:12] Oika
    The new and reckless Karasuno...
[10:15] Oika
    Either one of them winning
    is going to piss me off,
[10:17] Oika
    so they should both lose.
[10:19] Iwa
    You really are a crappy guy.
[10:20] Oika
    Could you stop calling me a "crappy guy"?!
[10:24] Iwa
    Pick between that or a "shitty guy."
[10:26] Oika
    Well, then I guess I choose "crappy"!
[10:30] Bg
    Don't let up til the end!
[10:30] Shima
    I'm sure all of their legs are
    at their limits by now.
[10:34] Shim
    It's obvious for Ushiwaka,
    who's hit so many times,
[10:38] Shim
    but for Karasuno's offense,
[10:39] ---
    they've done starting runs more than spikes.
[10:45] Shim
    That may look like a lot
    of needless movement,
[10:48] Shim
    but that's the primary factor
[10:51] ---
    in how Karasuno's offense is prying
    through Shiratorizawa's blocks.
[10:56] Shim
    Since Tanaka, Azumane and Sawamura
    have been playing the whole time,
[11:00] Shim
    I'm sure they're beyond their limits by now.
[11:03] Yama
    Nishinoya-san, are you okay?
[11:05] Nish
    Yeah. I've been able to
    rest here and there, so...
[11:05] Kei
    Ushijima's scored about 40 points.
[11:08] Kei
    He was able to score almost
    half the points all by himself.
[11:11] Kei
    Despite being thoroughly marked,
[11:13] ---
    and a lot of the tosses
    being harder ones to hit...
[11:17] Kei
    I knew that...
[11:18] ---
    I knew that, but...
[11:20] Kei
    Ushijima Wakatoshi is beyond impressive.
[11:25] Shir
    Ushijima-san.
[11:26] Shir
    When you said to get tosses
    up to you at any time,
[11:30] Shir
    you meant that for while
    you're still of use, right?
[11:34] Semi
    Wha?! Hey, I don't know what's going
    on, but how could you say that?
[11:40] Ushi
    That's right.
[11:45] Ushi
    Let's go.
[11:46] Bg
    Fire it up, fire it up, Karasuno!
    Get it, get it, Karasuno!
[11:48] Sawa
    If volleyball was a one-on-one sport,
[11:51] ---
    we wouldn't be able to win
    against Shiratorizawa.
[11:53] Sawa
    We're smaller, and our individual attack
    strength falls short in comparison.
[11:57] Sawa
    But there are six of us on the court.
[11:59] Sawa
    If we win, it's not because
    a miracle happened.
[12:03] Sawa
    Our concept won't change until the very end!
[12:06] Sawa
    We're going to punch our way through!
[12:07] All
    Yeah!
[12:10] Wash
    We've done everything we can to this point.
[12:12] Kiyo
    Fight! Fight! Fight!
[12:12] Kei
    We've both used up all of our timeouts.
[12:15] Swa
    Let's end this thing!
[12:15] Shir
    Let's calm down and score that point.
[12:15] Kei
    The next time you leave that court...
[12:17] All
    Yeah!
[12:19] Both
    ...return as victors!

[12:40] Sawa
    Nice serve, Asahi!
[12:42] Taki
    Here comes that all-out serve again!
[12:45] Shim
    End it here. End it with this one!
[12:56] Taki
    Yes!
[12:57] Yach
    They did—
[12:58] Yama
    All right!
[13:00] Guy
    Such a waste!
[13:04] Azu
    Sorry!
[13:05] Sawa
    Don't mind!
[13:05] Azu
    The serve toss was fine,
[13:07] ---
    but I was a little careless
    when stepping into the jump.
[13:10] Take
    And now,
[13:12] Take
    Ushijima-kun is serving.
[13:29] Ush
    Sorry.
[13:30] Yama
    Don't mind!
[13:32] Wash
    When we get back, you're
    gonna be serving 100 times.
[13:35] Taki
    Neither side has any intention
    of putting their guard up.
[13:38] Sae
    That's lucky for us, but also a waste.
[13:41] Sae
    I mean, it's all for naught if they miss.
[13:43] Shim
    But just by hitting
[13:45] ---
    a powerful serve itself becomes
    pressure for the other side.
[13:47] Sae
    Huh?
[13:49] Shm
    A jump serve is a very risky serve.
[13:52] Shim
    But a serve that's done by chance,
    or a serve that's guaranteed to go in...
[13:55] Shim
    It's not about picking that,
[13:57] ---
    but a team that's able to complete a
    chance serve right now is a strong team.
[14:01] Shim
    A team that's able to choose
    to do a chance serve right now
[14:04] Shim
    is a team that can become stronger.
[14:06] Shim
    Of course, it's better if they don't miss,
[14:08] ---
    and of course it's great
    if the other side misses,
[14:11] Shim
    but it's valuable just to take that chance,
[14:15] Shim
    as long as they're concerned.
[14:16] Both
    All right!
[14:25] Gosh
    Leon-san!
[14:27] Hin
    Don't jump at it. Don't jump at it.
[14:29] Ten
    Gimme!
[14:30] Shir
    Ushijima-san!
[14:41] Hina
    He's stopped!
[14:46] Take
    From above the block?!
[14:47] All
    All right!
[14:47] Bg
    Nice kill, Ushijima!
[14:48] Kei
    That wasn't about height,
    it was about timing.
[14:50] Bg
    Ushijima! Ushijima!
[14:51] Kei
    They jumped into that block a bit too early.
[14:54] Kei
    I'm sure the fact that everyone is
    so tired and panicked is a factor,
[14:56] Kei
    but more importantly,
[14:58] Kei
    there's Ushiwaka's mid-air form,
    which makes it look
[15:02] ---
    as though he's floating...
[15:04] Kei
    If you have good form, it gives
    you more of an advantage mid-air.
[15:09] Sae
    What the hell?
[15:12] Sae
    Does stress or being out of stamina
    mean absolutely nothing to Ushiwaka?
[15:19] Leo
    He's definitely some kind
    of monster or mutant,
[15:22] Leo
    but the name we're the most satisfied with...
[15:29] Leo
    is that he's a "super volleyball idiot."

    At this point, Karasuno is basically
    moving through sheer spirit.

[19:52] Kei
    Along with Hinata's super-fast back
    attack, there are two attackers.
[19:57] Kei
    This rotation is 100% a
    super attack-style rotation.
[20:00] Kei
    If you guys can find a chance to attack...
[20:03] Kei
    With Nishinoya out and Sawamura in front,
[20:06] Kei
    receiving is also really
    light on this rotation, too.
[20:10] Kei
    Everything is riding on the blocks.
SIGN    Fly
[20:16] Leon
    Hayato!
[20:18] Hina
    It went in.
[20:20] Kage
    Hinata, change positions with me!
[20:27] Shir
    Time difference attacks don't
    work against Four-Eyes...
[20:30] Shir
    Then we'll get through the
    center with sheer speed!
[20:33] Azu
    They're going for the center
    at a time like this?!
[20:35] Shir
    When you have a brilliant ace,
[20:37] ---
    their very existence is a brilliant decoy!
[20:39] Shr
    Go, Taichi!
[20:43] Lev
    Hear me out, Tsukki!
[20:45] (Flashback) Lev
    Kuroo-san yelled at me to read block again.
[20:49] (Flashback) Lev
    But don't you think it
    feels better to be able
[20:51] (Flashback) ---
    to shut out your opponent,
    whether it's by luck or intuition?
[20:55] (Flashback) Tsuk
    That does feel good,
[20:58] (Flashback) Tsuk
    but I hate the ball getting
    through even more.
[21:01] (Flashback) Tsuk
    If you go after the ball, even if
    your reaction is slightly behind,
[21:04] (Flashback) Tsuk
    the ball won't completely make it through.
[21:08] (Flashback) Lev
    That sounds like something you'd say.
[21:09] (Flashback) Kuro
    You probably think it's better
    if you look cool, don't you?
[21:13] (Flashback) Kuro
    You just don't get it.
[21:15] (Flashback) ---
    This is the problem with you kids.
[21:18] (Flashback) Lev
    We're only two years apart!
[21:21] (Flashback) Kuro
    Listen up, brat!
[21:22] (Flashback) Kuro
    Read blocking is a block that consists of
    restraint and persistence, but it's also...
[21:31] Kuro
    The block where you laugh last.
[21:39] Tsuk
    One touch!
[21:43] Yach
    It almost seems like Tsukishima-kun's
    reacting faster than in the first half.
[21:47] Old
    The point of read blocking against a
    quick isn't always to stop the ball,
[21:50] Old
    but to touch it.
[21:53] Old
    Glasses kid has gotten through this
    whole time just by following the ball.
[21:58] Old
    It's no surprise that he's gotten used to it.
[22:01] Kei
    Chance ball!
[22:07] Tana
    There's no other...
[22:09] Azu
    ...choice...
[22:10] Tsuk
    ...but to...
[22:11] Sawa
    ...attack!
[22:14] Hina
    A minus tempo...
[22:17] Hina
    Back attack!
[22:19] Tsuk
    Go!
[23:57] Kage
    Hey, stop making your knees shake.
[24:00] Hina
    They're doing that on their
    own, so I don't have a choice!
[24:02] Hina
    You jerk!
[24:04] Kage
    You understand that since we came this far,
[24:06] Hina
    we can't let them take this chance!
