[p002]

Tendou: I screwed uuuup!

Gata: Ngh!

[p003]

Noya: Alright!

Ukai: You should consider his movements an irregularity.
Ukai: Don't overthink things and get misled.
Ukai: Also,
Ukai: especially with an opponent like this,

(Ukai): use "the full width of the court" to your advantage.

Tendou: He's got some good moves!

(right): Wide broad attack!!!

[p004]

Voice: It's a break for Karasuno!!!
Scoreboard: Shiratorizawa | Karasuno

Tendou: Haah...
Tendou: It's like I can't help but watch him, even though I've seen plenty of setters who prevent me from reading their toss.
right of Shou: Uooh!
Tendou: This time, it was the speed of #10's timing.
Tendou: Just ooone beat's delay and he's already unreachable.

Reon: I guess we're overlooking that "I screwed uuup!" from before?
white sfx: Gulp

Takeda: Their blocking is different from Aobajousai's and Wakutaniminami's, isn't it?

Ukai: The sort they mainly used against Hinata was "commit blocking."
Ukai: It means devoting yourself to blocking a certain player.
Ukai: A single middle blocker jumped at full power to block Hinata without trying to read the play,
Ukai: and the two remaining blockers dealt with the other spikers.

Ukai: But,
Ukai: in Tendou's case,
Ukai: he intends to stop all the spikers
Ukai: by himself.

[p005]

Shou: Hit'em with another killer serve!!!

Gata: Oof!

Yui: Nice receive!!!

(Shimada/Taki): This is their chance to turn things around...!!!

Voice: Hinata!

[p010/011]

Boy: Huh.
Boy: Karasuno's pretty incredible. This's really turning into a proper match.

Crowd: It's like silencing the masses with a single shot, huh?

Voice: Nice kill, Ushijima!
Scoreboard: Shiratorizawa | Karasuno
Crowd: Ushijima!
Crowd: Ushijima!
Boy: They really are on a whole nother level.

Takeda: ...Blocks evolve to defend against attacks,
Takeda: and attacks evolve to rip through the opponent's blocks.

[p012]

Takeda: Using back attacks and diversifying your offense's speed and combinations
Takeda: leads to variations in blocks and jumping styles, which destroy attacks.
Takeda: All of that has opened up summits ever higher than those already reached.

Ukai: Looks like you've been studying, sensei.
Takeda: It's just an observation.

Takeda: That was a nice kill!!!
Takeda: Ahem.
Takeda: I'm certain that their indomitable fighting spirit and strong willpower

Takeda: have developed through "reasoning."

Takeda: A miraculous super play would really help the team, but

Box: Hinata's serve
Box: Nishinoya OUT
Box: Tsukishima IN
Takeda: the same could be said of reason.

Tsuki: may be able to fool our team's wild child, [Hinata image here]
Tsuki: but it won't have an effect on me, so please go right ahead.
