Haikyuu!!
Furudate Haruichi
Chapter 7: The Words of the Have-Nots

[p002]

(right) A complete turnaround!!!
Shou: I'm here!!

(Koushi): ...even though Kageyama was likely going to toss it to Tanaka just now,
(Koushi): He instantaneously moved in reaction to Hinata's voice and was even able to carry out such an accurate toss...

[p003]

(Koushi): Up to now, he's only been saying mean things and standing out, but...

(Koushi) He's really amazing after all.

Ryunosuke: Oi, you guys can do Quick Sets?!
(A Quick Set is a move which allows a hitter to spike the ball before the defenders can get into position to block it.)
Shou: Quick Set??
Ryunosuke: Like that fast attack just now!!

Shou: ? Nope, not at all.
Shou: I've only ever hit tosses that go up with a "bwooooo" and look like a tall mountain.

Ryunosuke: But you did it just now, didn't you?!
Ryunosuke: And back in junior high, when you hit that amateur setter's missed toss! That sorta thing...
Shou: Ehh? But I don't remember how I did that.
Ryunosuke: Geh.

Shou: But whatever kind of toss it is, I'll hit it!
Shou: I'll hit it, you hear!!

[p004]

Tobio: ...we aren't in sync, so
Tobio: something like a quick strike is still impossible.

(Shou): Did he say "impossible" just now?! So this guy... had a word like "impossible" in his vocabulary...!!

Shou: What the heck, you're being weird! That faint-heartedness is creepy weird!!
Tobio: ...just shut up.

Kei: You're scared to use that quick strike, right?
Tobio: Yeah. That's right. Tossing the ball up only for no one to be there behind me
Tobio: frightens me down to my very soul.

Kei: Isn't that because he's not his usual "kingly" self~?

Shou: I'm gonna knock you down, you just wait!!
Kei: You've gotten reaaally mad again~

Kei: "It'll be fine if I always recklessly exert myself" isn't a good mindset.

[p005]

Kei: After all, each person has his own weak and strong points.

Shou: ...It's true that
Shou: in junior high... and even now...

Shou: no matter
Shou: how much
Shou: I jump,
Shou: I'm only stopped by a blocker.

(Shou): ...Volleyball is
(Shou): a game where "height" is important.
(Shou): No matter how high I jump, I can't fill the overwhelming gap in height.

Shou: But

[p006]

Shou: That's just
Shou: what the "small giant" did!!

Shou: ---That's why I've thought how much
Shou: I want to be like that.

Shou: So,
Shou: Things like disadvantages
Shou: and inability
Shou: don't matter to me at all.

Shou: With this body, I'm gonna fight,
Shou: and win,
Shou: and keep winning.

[p007]

Shou: I want to stand on even more courts!

Coach: ---Kageyama.
Coach: Go sit on the bench already.

Izumi: Shou-chan...
Izumi: We're lining up...

(Shou/Tobio): No, I still...

[p008]

(Shou/Tobio): I still want to stand on the court.

Kei: ...Like I said, that way of thinking is no good.
Kei: This isn't about spiritualism.
Kei: You think "feelings" can fill the height gap?
Kei: If you become a libero, that's a different story, though.

[p009]

Shou: I'll jump anywhere!!
Shou: I'll hit any kind of ball!!
Shou: So
Shou: keep on
Shou: tossing it my way!!!

Tobio: ...clearing the wall in front of a spiker...

sfx bubble: Squeak
sfx bubble: Squeak

[p010]

Tobio: Is what a setter is for.

[p011]

Tobio: ...Listen.

Tobio: If you can't return the ball,
Tobio: then dodge.
Tobio: Using all of your physical ability and reflexes,
Tobio: hit my toss.

Ryunosuke: HAAH?!
Ryunosuke: THAT'S your quick strike explanation?!
Shou: ? I got it!!!
Ryunosuke: You liar! There's no way you understood that!!

Tobio/Shou: Anyway, let's try it!!

Ryunosuke: ...all this even though you were completely unyielding a few minutes ago.
Tobio: I haven't yielded at all!
Ryunosuke: YOU FREAKIN' LIAR!!

???: Nice serve!
???: Careful, now!!

(Tobio): If it's his speed and reflexes we're talking about, then he might even be able to hit a fast toss...!
Shou: Alriiight!

[p012]

(Shou): Okay, bring on the tosses.
(Shou): Bring'em on from anywhere.

(Tobio): ...still no sign or anything yet...
(Tobio): So for now...
sfx bubble: Point
Yama: Tsukki, nice serve!
(Shou): Okay, that means he's gonna toss it over to the right side, right?!

Ryunosuke: Nice receive!
(Shou): Great.
(Shou): It's weaker than granny (mama) Yoshida's serve.

(Shou): And then, to the right...

[p013]

(Shou): Jum
(Shou): pwaaaugh?!!

Shou: Guh!
Shou: Huff

(Shou): ...eh?
(Shou): It's that quick??

Tobio: Oi, what the heck are you doing!
Tobio: Jump fas--...

Kei: There it is~ "the king's toss"!
Tobio: Tch!

[p014]

Shou: Gwah!

Shou: Hurk!
Kei: Ahaha, awesome~!

Shou: Alright, I tou...
Ryunosuke: What the hell, are you fishing!
???: Net touch~

Shou: Ughh... I can't get the timing right at all...

Tobio: It's because you need to react faster. Come at it with more of a BAM! GUWAA! Like that!
Shou: "BAM!" or "GUWAA!", which is it!!!
Ryunosuke: That ain't what's important!!
Koushi: Kageyama.

Koushi: That is the same
Koushi: as you acted in junior high.

[p015]

Koushi: Ah.
Koushi: Err...

Tobio: ...Hinata excels in mobility, reflexes and speed... and in addition, he has jumping power...
Tobio: If he gets used to it, he could even pull off a quick attack...
Koushi: Hinata's

Koushi: weapon...
Koushi: that "nimbleness" of his...
Koushi: Isn't it being diminished by your toss?

Koushi: ...Hinata doesn't have technique or experience.
Shou: ?! Sugawara-san?!
Koushi: The team you were just barely able to bring together in junior high had far from excellent players.

Koushi: But the raw material was top-quality.
Shou: Eh, that's... I mean, calling me a prodigy is too much...
Ryunosuke: No one's callin' you that.

Koushi: ...with your skills,

[p016]

Koushi: How do I put this?
Koushi: More of Hinata's character or ability or whatever you'd call it will...
Koushi: It'd be more like... erm...
Koushi: It's like he'll somehow be better at using it, wouldn't he?!
Ryunosuke: Suga-san, fight-o!

Koushi: ...I'm...
Koushi: a setter just like you, so
Koushi: I was nervous... watching you in the match last year.

Koushi: Senses and ball control better than anyone else!
Koushi: And above all...
Koushi: you calmly saw through the opposing blockers' movements and made decisions accordingly!!

Koushi: ...those were
Koushi: all things I didn't have.

Ryunosuke: Th-that's not true, Suga-sa...
Daichi: Tanaka.

Daichi: You should listen for once.

[p017]

Koushi: For you, who have technique, probably more than enough willingness,
Koushi: and above all... "excellent eyes which see everything around you",

Koushi: there is absolutely no way you can't see your comrades!!

(Koushi): "It's like he'll somehow be better at using it, wouldn't he?!"

(Tobio): That "somehow be better" thing...
(Tobio): What does it mean!!!

[p018]

(Shou): "I'm right here!!"

(Shou): "But I was right there to receive the ball!!"

(Shou): "I was right there!!"

Tobio: ...I
Shou: Wha?!

Tobio: am jealous of your physical ability!!
Shou: HAH?!

Tobio: That's why you, who have ability but are horrible, irritate me!!
Shou: HAAAAAH?!
Tobio: Since that's the case,

Tobio: I will have you
Tobio: show all of your ability!

Ryunosuke: The heck?

[p019]

Tobio: At your fastest speed,
Tobio: perform your highest jump,
Tobio: and I

Tobio: will get the ball to you!

(just a note: the raw I had was missing this last page, so I had to work off a transcription I found online. Hopefully it's complete, but let me know if it's not and I'll see what I can do.)
