[p002]

Boy: Karasuno's #10 player was amazing, wasn't he?
Boy: Scoring so many times with quick strikes...
Boy: I know, right?
Boy: Even though he's so short!!

(right) In the aftermath of their first round breakthrough...?!

Kuchi: ...that #10 wasn't around back in March, so he must be a 1st year.
Moniwa: Probably, yeah.
Moniwa: We should keep a close eye on him...

[p003]

Boy: Man, Karasuno was awesome.

Boy: That #10 shorty surprised me the most!
Boy: Oh, definitely!

Boy: I mean, those quicks took some real skill.

(above Shou) Ah!

Shou: Wh-
Shou: What!
Shou: There's nothing wrong with being happy about it, okay!
Shou: Nobody's ever said that sorta stuff about me before!

(Tobio sfx) Smirk

[p004]

Tobio: I didn't say anything.
Tobio: It's good that you're getting noticed, after all.

Tobio: Opponents will keep their eyes on you,
Tobio: and the warier they are,

Tobio: the more you'll come into your own.

Shou: Ooh...! I don't really get it, but
Shou: either way, your smile's scary.

(sfx) Yank
Shou: OWOWOW!
Ukai: Yup, you got it.

Shou: Coach!

Ukai: For now,
Ukai: we'll create an atmosphere of "that short #10 is amazing!!"
Ukai: The greater it gets,

[p005]

Ukai: the more Hinata shines,
Ukai: and the more it will blind the opposing blockers.

Ukai: --As for
Ukai: the starting lineup for the second round,

Ukai: we'll go with the same we used in the first.

[p006]

Daichi: The next match starts at 1:30, so don't relax just yet!
Ukai: In the meantime, eat lightly.
Ukai: Don't go filling your stomach, got it?
(above Shou) Osu

Shou: The next match
Shou: is against that guy with no eyebrows and his "impregnable fortress" school!
Tobio: It's Datekougyou.
Shou: I know!

Tobio: ...that game

Tobio: in March, where they lost to Datekou,
Tobio: was probably the reason Azumane-san stopped coming to club activities.
Shou: The reason Asahi-san stopped...?!

[p007]

(Suga): "In that match, Asahi's spikes were utterly and completely stopped..."

Shou: Blocks capable of
Shou: completely stopping Asahi-san...!

Suga: Hinata,
Suga: Kageyama,

Suga: do you have a minute?

Shou/Tobio: Sure.

[p008]

Irihata: In that first round...
Irihata: Datekougyou's blocks were as splendid as always.
Boy: Yes...

Mizo: That lead blocker seems like a real tough customer.
Mizo: I wonder how Karasuno will handle him??

Irihata: Karasuno has yet to reveal their "trump card" in this tournament, though...

[p009]

Suga: I'm
Suga: counting on you.

Suga: Datekougyou is a formidable enemy.
Suga: Three months ago, we were wholly defeated by their "iron wall" of blockers.

Suga: But now, we have the "strongest decoy".

Suga: ...just as you clear the wall in front of Hinata,

[p010]

(Tobio): "Clearing the wall in front of a spiker is what the setter is for."

Suga: Please...

Suga: clear the one in front of Asahi - in front of the ace - as well...!

[p011]

Daichi: ...Asahi,

Daichi: it's about time we got going.

Asahi: Right.

Boy: You really get overwhelmed being on the same court as them.
(all white sfx) Datekou!
Players: Keep it up!
Players: One, two!

Boy: Those spikers on the team they faced in the first round really had my sympathy.

Boy: Datekou literally "didn't allow them to do anything", and you could feel it.

[p015]

(above Asahi) Nice receive!
(Ukai): Even though the team has definitely evolved,
(Ukai): the 2nd and 3rd years are probably still carrying the "image of losing" in their minds.

Crowd: Datekou!
(Ukai): Anyway, we've gotta do something or we'll be swallowed up by this atmosphere...
Crowd: Datekou!
Crowd: Datekou!

Tobio: Was that any different from the last time?
Daichi/Suga: It's Nishinoya again...
(small text) That was a regular dig just now, wasn't it!
Asahi: Hey wait hold on, Nishinoya! You'll make Daichi angry again...!

Noya: Aaaalright!!

Noya: There's nothing to worry about!!
Noya: You guys just keep looking straight ahead!!

Takeda: How cool is that...!
Takeda: The atmosphere around them has returned to normal...!
Ukai: Yup.

(Ukai): That small body's brimming with reliability.
(Ukai): It's not just about defense. The libero's principal job
Shou: I wanna say that sorta thing too!
Noya: You're 3 years too early for that.
(Ukai): involves energizing his team from the back of the court.

Ukai: He really is an excellent libero...
