Suga: we're at the starting line...!!
sfx bubble: Stinging

Oikawa: Feh...
Oikawa: Gone and made a comeback, have you?
Oikawa: It's all thanks to my advice, though!!!

[p003]

Voice: You think the match between Seijou and Karasuno is still going?!
Voice: They're probably still on the 1st set!

Voice: Give'em a good one, Oikawa-san!

Daichi: Gh!

Player: Nice receive, Daichi-san!
Oikawa: Grr!

[p004]

(Tobio): Are they only going to use receives to cope with Hinata's broad attack this time, too?

Shou: UOOOH!!
Player: Nice couse!!
Scoreboard: Karasuno | Aobajousai

(Watari): So it's not a fluke after all. #10 really is choosing the course of his hits...

Player: Give'em a good one, Kageyama!

Watari: Kh!
Watari: Sorry about that! Cover it!

Oikawa: It's all yours, Makki!
Maki: Got it.
Maki: Kunimi!!
Kunimi: Right.

(Tobio): He tossed it like it was perfectly natural,
(Tobio): even though he's not a setter!

Player: Nice kill!!

[p006]

Makki: Yaay! Nice kill~
Kunimi: That was a nice toss.
white sfx: Smack
(Tanaka): Doing something like that so smoothly...
(Tanaka): That bastard's good!!

Takeda: As usual, Aobajousai's proficiency...
Takeda: or, rather, the way they function like clockwork... is incredible.
Ukai: Yeah.
Ukai: What a pain in the ass.

Player: Give'em a good one, Iwaizumi!
Iwa: Sorry!

Tanaka: Got it!
Player: Nice one, Tanaka!

Taki: Alright! Go hit'em with another broad attack, Hinata!!

(Ukai): Is he going to block it?

[p008]

(Matsu): It'd be tough to stop you with just 1 blocker,
(Matsu): but

(Matsu): you won't be hitting a cross-court spike like this, now will you? You can't, can you??

Shou: ...Urg.

[p009]

(Kin): There it is!! A straight spike right down the middle!
(Matsu): Forget about the cross-court spike and wait in position for a straight.
Player: Nice receive, Kindaichi!

(Ukai): They forced the path of the spike!!

Player: Counter!

(Shou): Holy crap, that's some pressure...!!
(Shou): Dammit, 3rd years are really scary!
Matsu: Nice kill.

Matsu: If you can force the spike's path, it's possible to receive even the best of them.
Kin: I'll give it a try next time.
Oikawa: You're scary, Mattsun.

[p011]

above Shou: That's paybaaack.

Boxes: Karasuno | Aobajousai

Ukai: Alright...!
Ukai: They're making good use
top, Tobio: Kindaichi's... er... that shallot head... uhh...
top, Tobio: The timing of #12's quick set might be a bit slow.
Ukai: of what they learned last time...!
right, Taki: A receive in a spot that's "so muddled with people" is slightly delayed, so it's easy to miss.
right, Taki: That's the sort of feeling you get, anyway.
bottom left, Ukai: We're changing things so our defense will consist of those few best suited to it.

Mizo: Karasuno's ability to respond to things has improved...
Mizo: We're gonna need to do more than just weather it if we want to win...

Iwa: We'll get the next one!!

Daichi: That was lucky! Let's go get another point!
(Daichi): WHAA?! What the heck was that?! Did he seriously get even more powerful?! That was practically a spike!!

Noya: AWESOME!
Shou: Eep...!

Scoreboard: Karasuno | Aobajousai
Box: Karasuno High School 1st set, set point

Suga: Yessss! We reached set point first!
Suga: Go get that last point!

(Daichi): Could that
(Daichi): power have been unintentional...?
(Daichi): No, I get the feeling that wasn't a fluke at all.

(Daichi): Did he... purposefully increase the power, despite the risk it would pose...?
Oikawa: That serve had a pretty good feel to it, too...
Iwa: Don't dwell on it!!
Oikawa: Kaaay.

Irihata: ...Yup.

Irihata: We don't have the leisure of being scared.
Irihata: If we
Irihata: intend to win, that is.

[p020/021]

(???): The gears which had fit together so cleanly and functioned so perfectly
(???): are driven into disarray,
(note: the verb here can also mean "to drive mad")

(???): and, in that moment,

(???): they become something strange and unfamiliar.
