Haikyuu!!
Chapter 181: Duking It Out, Round 2
Furudate Haruichi

Taki: I can't believe he "spiked it straight down", even though #5 [Tendou picture here] was right in front of him!!
Shimada: A ball that close to the edge of the net would usually fall prey to a blocker hitting it from below!
Yachi: Ah...
Saeko: Ooh.

Shimada: Since it was Karasuno's serve, Shiratorizawa was preparing to make an attack.
Box: Net
below Shirabu: Setter
Box: Ready to start approach run

Shimada: However, it became a free ball for Karasuno as a result of Kageyama's strong serve,
Shimada: and Shiratorizawa had to immediately shift from attack mode to blocking mode.
Box: Net
Box: Moving to block

Shimada: Naturally, that means they weren't fully prepared to block,
Shimada: and our side used that momentary gap to strike.

[p002]

Shimada: ...Well, our side hadn't exactly prepared for that either, though.

Crowd: Those two Karasuno guys are first years, right?! That attack had some amazingly miraculous timing!
Crowd: They've probably been playing together for a long time.

(Tobio): That little-!!! I'd thought our usual quick set would be enough of a surprise attack, but
(Tobio): this time, he went and jumped in there on purpose!!
(Tobio): That's freaking dangerous!!

Sidelines: Go go goooo!!!

Crowd: Let's hear those voices, people!!
Crowd: YEAAH!

(Ukai): Another turn where Ushijima's in the front row, the setter's in the back, and their offensive power gets a boost...
(Ukai): This will be a decisive play...!

[p007]

(Semi): I know full well where I fall short in relation to Shirabu.
(Semi): I badly want to showcase my strength and shake off the blockers with my own power.

(Semi): Even though I know that Shiratorizawa's setter shouldn't want such things with the way the team is right now,
(Semi): I can't help it.

(Semi): But
(Semi): when I'm serving,
(Semi): it's the one time that I can
(Semi): do as I like.

Takeda: N... nice bl...
Takeda: That was a block, right?!

[p017]

(Ukai): I did tell him to use a soft block... but!
Ukai: If you feel like you're even the slightest bit "delayed",
Ukai: immediately switch to soft blocking.
text: We'll use a "plate"!!!
Shou: That's a "plate"!!
Shou: Right?!!

Ukai: You can't call that a block anymore.
Ukai: It's a "super point-blank receive"...
Ukai: A play like that could do a real number on your face, so you generally wouldn't do it.

Voice: Karasuno's hit
Scoreboard: Karasuno | Shiratorizawa
Voice: double digits now, too...!!

right: The ultimate desperate struggle...!!!
