Haikyuu!! 153

Lev: You'd be able to stop
Lev: what's his name, again?
Lev: Ushiwakamaru?
Lev: wouldn't you, Kuroo-san??
Shou: It's Ushiwaka!

Haikyuu!! | Chapter 153: Receive #3 | Furudate Haruichi

left: Can nothing be done in the face of the champion's strength?!

Kuro: Er...
Kuro: Well, maybe one time out of ten, I guess?

Kuro: What's with those looks?
Kuro: This isn't Bokuto's skill level we're talking about, here.
Kuro: I'm being perfectly honest.

Kuro: Defeating an opponent 100% of the time is impossible, y'know?
Kuro: That one time you succeed might yield merely a single point,
Kuro: and the timing could even upset the opponent's formation, as well.

[p002]

Kuro: When the team is in high spirits
Kuro: or facing a hopeless situation,
Kuro: if you create an opportunity
Kuro: and pull it off successfully,

Kuro: then 1 point would be just as good as 100-
Bokuto: How is 1 the same as 100!!
Kuro: Even though I'm the one who said it, I don't even know anymore.

Akaashi: ...It really sounded like he was saying something good, for a moment there.

Tsuki: But one point is just that, isn't it...?

Akaashi: ...Well, yeah.

[p003]

(Tsuki): I was too focused on Ushiwaka...
Crowd: Nice kill, Kawanishi!

Man: Geeez,
Crowd: Kawanishi!
Man: doesn't that glasses kid have any motivation?
Man: Put up more of a fight, willya? C'mon!

Shimada: Now they're throwing in some top-notch quick sets, too...

Scoreboard: Karasuno | Shiratorizawa

[p004]

Saeko: Do something about that "lefty" already...!
Yachi: They can't help having gotten used to
Yachi: instinctively reacting to "righties"...

Player: Sorry!

Aki: Kei, at least,

Aki: isn't the sort of player who moves on instinct.

Voice: Hit'em hard!
Aki: He doesn't trust in his own strength,

Aki: nor in the senses he's honed.

[p005]

Saeko: What sort of thing is that for a brother to say?!
Aki: I mean it in a good way!

Aki: My little bro
Aki: is so dispassionate that it borders on morosity!

Aki: The only thing he trusts
Aki: is the "information" in front of him.

Scoreboard: Karasuno | Shiratorizawa
Box: Technical Time-out

Crowd: Push'em back, push'em back, push'em back!
Kino: That was so close, Nishinoya!
Kino: You reacted to Ushiwaka's spike in time, too!

Noya: That spike I got my hands on
Noya: wasn't a full-powered one.

Noya: It's probably because his engine's still "warming up"
Noya: and he's been prioritizing getting the ball past the blockers by hitting it over them or through the gaps between them.

Tanaka: I remember doing passes with a lefty back in middle school, and man were those hard to deal with.
Tanaka: They weren't hit all that hard at all, and yet they'd go flying off at weird angles when I received'em.

Daichi: ...In other words,

[p008]

Daichi: Ushiwaka's soft spikes are also
Daichi: ...dangerous weapons...

Yama: Your finger's sprained?!
Yama: Is it okay?!

Tsuki: Could you not turn it into a rhyme like that?
Enno: Here,
Enno: I'll do it.
Tsuki: Thanks.

Tsuki: This is standard fare in volleyball.
Tsuki: More like, I'm pretty lucky to get off with just a sprained finger.

Enno: All done.
Tsuki: ...Sorry for the trouble.

[p009]

(Tsuki): Did I
(Tsuki): flinch back there?

(Tsuki): No, it's just that I thought I'd lose against him.
(Tsuki): It seemed like the logical outcome.

Tsuki: Tch.

Takeda: You guys look so tense!
white sfx: Tweet
Box: Time-out over
Takeda: Relax, relax!

Takeda: Re...

Shirabu | Tendou | Oohira

Box: Serve
Takeda: ...lax...

Daichi: Hoo...

Daichi: It's out!
Takeda: His first serve going out of bounds was a lucky break for us, but...

Ukai: He doesn't have Oikawa's monstrous success rate or control,
Ukai: and there's no way in hell I'd want to deal with 2 guys like that, but
white sfx: Tweet
Ukai: his power is nothing to shake a stick at, either...

[p012]

Tanaka: Dammit...!

Crowd: Nice serve!

[p013]

Saeko: ...I don't get it...

Crowd: Ushijima!
Saeko: Just what the heck is that guy...!

Crowd: Ushijima!
Scoreboard: Karasuno | Shiratorizawa
Boy: Yikes,
Boy: The next one will make it a 10-point difference...

Daichi: Sorry, we'll get the next one!

(Tsuki): ...I'm glad I'm not positioned to handle the serve receive.
(Tsuki): Receiving something like that head-on would just be ridiculous.
(Tsuki): The atmosphere in here is already geared toward Shiratorizawa.

(Tsuki): It's pretty much set in stone that we're gonna lose the 1st set,
(Tsuki): so-

Noya: Bring
