Aki: Hey! That's my little bro! The one with the glasses!

Michi: ...They did it...

Michi: They really did it.

Voice: Karasuno
Voice: is going on to the

Voice: Spring High Nationals...!!!

Tendou: There goes my paradise.

[p007]

Tobio: Hey, we're lining up.
Shou: ...I-
Shou: I can't stand.

Teams: Thank you for the game!!

Semi: That was nuts...!

banner: We are the strong

[p008]

Oikawa: Can't that Ushiwaka bastard look more frustrated over this?

Washi: ...Karasuno's #10 is about the same height as me, isn't he...
Man: ? Oh, yeah, I guess.
Washi: Well, he'll probably grow taller...

Washi: The higher he sets his sights, though,

Washi: the tougher things will be.
Asahi: Sorry, Hinata. we tried to close him out of the straight, but we weren't fast enough...
Asahi: You okay?
Shou: Completely!
Tobio: You were pretty much able to narrow down the ball's course, so even this guy could receive it.
Tobio: ...No, make that get hit by it.
Shou: Don't put it like that!!

Iwa: ...Kageyama
Iwa: sure did a good job out there...
Oikawa: ...You noticed it too?

[p009]

Oikawa: When
Oikawa: that glasses kid returned, he probably gave them some sort of blocking instructions.
Oikawa: Likely "block Ushiwaka out of a straight", I guess?

Oikawa: That's why Tobio immediately switched places with shorty after the serve, so he'd be there to receive a cross-court spike.
Tobio: Hinata, switch.
Shou: Hogya?!
Oikawa: Nishinoya-kun was off-court, after all.

Iwa: And then the dreaded last-second return toss.
Iwa: As expected of your pupil.
Oikawa: He's no pupil of mine!!

Oikawa: And to top it all off...
Oikawa: He "matched" the rhythm of all those unorthodox plays shorty pulled off.
Oikawa: He's so perceptive, it pisses me off.

Iwa: Well...
Iwa: What led to that "good job" was
Iwa: the 1st year glasses guy's blocking, though.

[p010]

Oikawa: Still,

Oikawa: a spiker like shorty makes you want to try tossing to him.
Oikawa: He's got Tobio wrapped around his little finger.

Oikawa: Oookay, time to head back!!

Takeda: Guys...!
Takeda: Well done...!!

Ukai: Sawamura...!
Ukai: Good job...
Ukai: Good job pulling off that 3-man block at the end...!
small text: Not to mention the receive afterward!

Noya: Even if it feels like your thigh muscles are ripping apart,
Noya: I'm counting on you guys for the aerial battles.
Daichi: ...I made a promise.

[p011]

Ukai: Tsukishima!!!

Ukai: Whatever anyone says,
Ukai: you're the MVP of the day!!

Tanaka: I'm usually the MVP, but I'll let you have it this time, Tsukishima.
Ukai: You're basically the MVP for mental strength.

Reon: ...Shirabu,
Reon: you alright?
Shirabu: Ah.
Shirabu: Yeah.

Shirabu: My head's a bit of a mess,
Shirabu: and I just can't believe we lost.

Reon: Well... I don't think any of us ever thought we'd lose.

[p012/013]

Washi: If you play a feckless game, I'll make you run all the way back to school from here, got it!!

Washi: We'll have a meeting when we get back, so

Washi: hop on the bus once the award ceremony's over.

Washi: ...And after that, I'll expect 100 serves from you.

Box: Shiratorizawa Academy, eliminated in the finals of the Miyagi Prefecture Spring High Representative Playoffs

Tendou: ...Wakatoshi-kun,
Tendou: you really got worked up at the end there, huh?

Ushi: Shirabu!

Tendou: Usually, you'd pull yourself together or let somebody else handle it.
Tendou: They didn't block it, but I was deathly afraid they would.

[p014]

Ushi: ...I wanted to say "I'm stronger than you" to him.

Ushi: It might be childish,
Ushi: but I still
Ushi: wanted to say it.

Tendou: It's not all that childish. It's what was driving you.
Tendou: ...That was a nice straight back there.
Tendou: It was like I was seeing a whole new side of you.

Tendou: Anyway, I'm giving up on volleyball after high school.
Tendou: When I see you on TV after you've hit it big, I'll brag about how "I was close friends with Ushijima", so work hard, 'kay?
Ushi: ...Sure.
Tendou: And then in documentaries and stuff, they can interview me as an "old friend."
Ushi: Sure.

[p015]

Ushi: "Hinata Shouyou and Kageyama Tobio,
Ushi: who sprouted from concrete."

Ushi: Next time,
Ushi: I'm going to beat you.

Shou: We're definitely gonna make it all the way to the same stage, you just watch!!!
Tobio: I'm definitely gonna make you say that I'm better than Oikawa-san!!!

[p016]

(Izumi/Kouji): What the heck are you, Shou-chan...?!

[p017]

Yama: Tsukki? The award ceremony's starting.

Tsuki: I said I'd stop "however many" I could,
Tsuki: and yet all I managed was one.
Tsuki: Just one, across five sets.

Tsuki: How la-
Tsuki: No way in hell is that lame, you moron!

Tsuki: Mor-?!

Yama: This is no time for self-pity. We're going to the nationals!
Yama: ...but before that, the award ceremony!

[p018]

Announcer: We praise both schools' hard work, and wish for Karasuno's success in the Spring High School Volleyball Nationals Competition held in January.
Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen, let's have another hearty round of applause.

(Team): We're doing this.

(Team): We're going

[p004]

Shou: Gh...!
Tanaka: Ngh!

Shou: Tanaka-san...!

Tanaka: Kageyama, last hit's yours!!
Tanaka: You okay, Hinata?!
Shou: Yug.

Goshiki: It's in!
(Gata/Shirabu): They just had to send it over there, didn't they...!

[p005]

(Shirabu): There's no
(Shirabu): room for
(Shirabu): hesitation.

Shirabu: Ushijima-san!

Goshiki: Follow-up!!
(Goshiki): It's frustrating that I'm not the one getting this toss,
(Goshiki): But

(Goshiki): the fact that I'm even looking forward to his spike
(Goshiki): is equally frustrating.

(Tsuki): Here it comes.
Tsuki: We'll block it.

[p006]

Daichi: Ngh!
Tsuki: And...

(Washi): It's the first time
(Washi): today that they've

(Washi): closed him out of a straight
Tsuki: Now!
(Washi): using 3 blockers...!

Tsuki: About our 3-man blocks...
Tanaka: The cold shoulder, huh.

Tsuki: All this time, we've been closing him out of cross-court spikes, but
top label: Cross
left label: Staight
Tsuki: on the very last play, let's close him out of the straight.

[p007]

(Tsuki): I'm betting the entire set,
(Tsuki): and maybe even more than that, on
(Tsuki): this "trap."

(Tsuki): The dozens of times today we've jumped as a 3-man block
(Tsuki): have always created a clear path for a straight spike.
(Tsuki): The timing is on point, and we never let him hit from "above" us,
(Tsuki): so the only spike he can comfortably hit is a straight.

(Tsuki): Ushiwaka is
(Tsuki): well aware of all that.

[p008/009]

(Ukai): He managed to hit it cross-court at the last second,
(Ukai): even though his form was out of whack...!

[p010/011]

(Shou): ...Dammit.
(Shou): Dammit.

(Shou): Dammit,
(Shou): he's so cool...!!!

[p014]

Kawa: They're definitely gonna hit it!!

Daichi: Asahi, last hit!!

[p015]

Tanaka: Hrg...!

(Tanaka): Free

(Tanaka): ball...!!

Kawa: Watch for #10!!

[p016/017]

(Tendou): He isn't dashing up here...?!

(Shou): Slow my tempo down
(Shou): from minus to 1st, and then

(Shou): join in.

Tendou: Damn you...!

(Team): No one on defense!! 3-blockers vs. 5-spikers in a
(Team): full team 1st tempo synchronized attack!!!

[p020]

(Gramps): Volleyball is a game of "height", where it's obvious that strength comes with being tall.
(Gramps): There is also strength in bringing each "individual" to his peak,
(Gramps): and in searching for new battle strategies.
(Gramps): That's precisely why so many varieties of offense and defense exist today.

(Gramps): "Strength" actually means diversity.

(Gramps): The famous
(Gramps): volleyball coach Arie Selinger once said

(quote): "there is no reason to not believe that advancement and revolution will come in the future."

[p011]

(Ukai): Assuming
(Ukai): we get the chance to attack.

(Ukai): Nishinoya is out.

(Ukai): With Sawamura in the front row,
(Ukai): this rotation means our floor defense is at its weakest.

(Ukai): Everything depends on our blocking.
Box: Tsukishima IN

[p012]

Tobio: Hinata, switch.
Shou: Hogya?!

Reon: Hayato!
Gata: Got it.

[p013]

(Shirabu): Time differentials don't work against glasses guy here,
(Shirabu): so

(Shirabu): we'll use speed to break through the middle.

(Asahi): They're hitting straight down the middle, at a time like this?!

(Shirabu): An excellent ace
(Shirabu): is, himself, an excellent "decoy"!
Shirabu: Go for it, Taichi!!

[p014]

Lev: Listen to this, Tsukki!

[p015]

Lev: Kuroo-san yelled at me again to use read blocking!
Lev: But whether it's by fluke or intuition,
sfx bubble: Ksh
Lev: don'tcha think slamming the ball to the floor feels way better?!

Tsuki: I won't deny it feels good to knock the ball down, but
Tsuki: more than that, I just don't like getting outwitted.
Tsuki: Even if I'm a bit slow to react, as long as I follow the ball, they won't be able to completely shake me off.
Lev: ...That's just like you.

Kuro: Basically, you just want to look cool.

Kuro: You really don't get it at all. That's why you're such a child~
Lev: We're only 2 years apart!!

Kuro: Listen up, brat!
Lev: Brat?!
Kuro: Read blocking combines both patience and persistence,

[p016]

(Kuro): and is the block
(Kuro): that has the last laugh.

Tsuki: One
Tsuki: touch!

Yachi: Tsukishima-kun seems to be reacting faster than he was at the beginning of the game...!?

Gramps: When it comes to quick sets,
Gramps: read blocking's aim is more about "touching" the ball than "stopping" it.

Gramps: That glasses brat has been devoting himself to "tracking the ball."
Gramps: It's no wonder he's

Shimada: Jump serves are very risky,
Shimada: but
Shimada: it's not a matter of choosing a serve
Shimada: that just goes over
Shimada: or one that's an all-or-nothing gamble.

Shimada: At this point, the stronger team is the one resolved to serve aggressively.
Shimada: Being able to choose that sort of play style here is what makes a team capable of growing stronger.

Shimada: Of course they'd rather not screw up,
Shimada: and they'd love it to happen to their opponents!

Shimada: But there's merit to that struggle.

Ukai: It's more a matter of timing than height.
Ukai: The blockers were just a bit too early.

Ukai: more importantly, the way Ushiwaka looks while airborne, it's almost as if

Shimada: in Karasuno's case, their offense involves lots of approach runs.
Crowd: Shiratorizawa!

right: Go!
left: Synchronized attack!!
Shimada: From a viewer's perspective, it might seem like they're using a lot of unnecessary movements, but
Shimada: how to slip through Shiratorizawa's blockers is the biggest factor in Karasuno's attacks.

Shimada: Tanaka, Azumane, and Sawamura, who've been playing without rest this whole time, have likely surpassed their limits already.

[p016]

(Ukai): Ushijima's scored about 40 points.
(Ukai): He's singlehandedly responsible for about half their points... even though we've had him completely marked and he's had a lot of hard-to-hit tosses.

(Ukai): I knew it already.
(Ukai): I knew it, but even so

(Ukai): Ushijima Wakatoshi is really something else.
Shirabu: Ushijima-san,

Shirabu: when you said "toss to me no matter the circumstances,"

Shirabu: you meant so long as you're
Shirabu: in usable shape, right?

Daichi: If volleyball were a game of one-on-one, we wouldn't be able to beat Shiratorizawa.

Daichi: They're superior to us in height and individual offensive power.

Daichi: But there are 6 people on the court.

Daichi: We won't win
Daichi: due to some miracle.

Daichi: Our goal hasn't changed.
Daichi: We're gonna win this battle.

(Ukai): Both sides have used up their time-outs.

(Ukai): The next time you step off the court,

(Ukai/Washi): come back victorious.

Kanoko: Thanks for the treat!! Let's go, Isami-kun!
left of Kanoko: Thanks!
Isami: Eh? Let's rest a bit longer.
Kanoko: Now.

Rin: If you...

[p130]

Rin: have reached the bottom of your parfait, you can order another.

Rin: There is no way of knowing whether the new parfait will taste the same, though.

Isami: I don't get what you're saying at all.

[p131]

white sfx: Clang clang clang

Kanoko: Hehe. Am I heavier after that parfait?
Isami: Nah, you're like a feather.

Isami: Now, anyway.
Kanoko: Huh?

Isami: Er, nothing.
Isami: Umm...
Isami: It's thanks to this Tokyo Tower that we'll be able to watch the Tokyo Olympics on TV, you know.

Kanoko: The Tokyo Olympics!!
Kanoko: I'm looking forward to them! I wonder if any Giants players will be there. It's 6 years from now, I think?
Isami: 5 years.
Kanoko: Five, huh... that's a long way off.

Isami: Not at all.
Isami: 5 years will pass
Isami: in the blink of an eye.

[p132]

Isami: Take today, for instance. It's already sunset.
Isami: Time flies when you're having fun.

Isami: I want
Isami: things to be like this forever.

Kanoko: What's up, Isami-kun?
Kanoko: We should have reached the viewing platform by now...

Rin: We are right around here at the moment.

[p133]

Rin white sfx: Tap tap tap

Kanoko: Eh?
Kanoko: Rin-chan, how did you...

Isami: You only imagined it, Kanoko-chan!
Kanoko: Kyaa!

Kanoko: There's something off with the signs, though.
all signs: Now at 75 M

Kanoko: And there are a lot of crows, too.

[p134]

Kanoko: It feels like we're climbing the same set of stairs on a loop...

Kanoko: Put me down!
Isami: Guah!

Kanoko: Something strange is going on, Isami-kun.
Kanoko: What's with this place...

Isami: Aw, man. Now there's matches everywhere.
Isami: You're so insensitive, Kanoko-chan.

[p135]

Isami: I made all those people outside the elevator disappear for you, y'know?
Isami: That soda I gave you tasted good, didn't it? I was a perfect Tokyo Tower tour guide, wasn't I?
Isami: C'mon, let's keep having fun while we climb the stairs to the viewing platform for eternity.

Isami: I'll fulfill every last one
Isami: of your selfish desires, Kanoko-chan.

Kanoko: Fulfill...
Kanoko: my desires?

Rin: While one of these is lit, it will give concrete form to your thoughts.
Rin: In other words,

[p136]

Rin: these fantasy matches will
Rin: turn your fantasies into reality.

Kanoko: Fantasies...

Isami: Kanoko-chan!

Kanoko: Look, Isami-kun!
Kanoko: The sunset's so pretty!!

[p137]

Kanoko: So let's end things here for today.
Kanoko: Okay?

Box: Kanoko-chan is a selfish girl.

Box: Kanoko-chan is always so lively.
Isami: How about we go to the beach?

Box: Kanoko-chan runs fast.
Isami: Let's keep the date going until we're worn out.

Box: Kanoko-chan eats well.
Isami: We'll go eat some delicious food.

[p138]

Isami: I want to stay with you forever and ever and ever!!!

Kanoko: Look at you crying, even though you're a guy...
Kanoko: I wonder which of us is truly the selfish one.

Isami: Kanoko-chan!!

[p139]

Kanoko: Sorry.
Kanoko: But still,

Box: Kanoko-chan is...

Kanoko: thank you.

[p140]

Kanoko: Return everything to how it was.

[p141]

Isami: W...hy did you...
Isami: change it b...back...

Kanoko: Hehe. We sure were an embarassing pair at 18,
Kanoko: you old coot.

Kanoko: But remember

Kanoko: how we went on to see the Tokyo Olympics' opening ceremony together, and how exciting it was?
(note: the 1964 Tokyo Olympics)
Kanoko: Even members from the Giants' V9 era were there.
Kanoko: We got married, you became known as "dad", and that later changed to "grandpa."

Kanoko: And now, I've fallen ill
Kanoko: and have an old coot in tears here with me, clutching my hand.

[p142]

Kanoko: I've enjoyed eeeevery last bit of it.
Kanoko: It would be such a waste to stay as we were at 18 forever, you know?

Kanoko: Making lots and lots of happy memories...
Kanoko: That is my fantasy.

[p143]

Kanoko: Take me to the Tokyo Olympics' opening ceremony too, okay?
Isami: Eh?
Kanoko: In 2020. There's still 6 years to go, but

Kanoko: I'm not about to die so easily.

Kanoko: If you reach the bottom of your parfait,
Kanoko: you can order another.

[p144]

Kanoko: So I wanna eat a Skytree Parfait, okay?
Kanoko: Isami-kun.

Box: Kanoko-chan is a selfish girl.

Kishida: Woah, seriously?

Girl: But you're pretty good too, Kishida-chan.
Kishida: Eh?
(Kishida): I know that already.

Box: Fujita-sensei's got skills. So this is what a professional can do, huh.
Box: I want to get even better
Box: and be composed and confident.

Girl: You totally can't submit this!

[p087]

Girl: Haah? What's with that glare, Takahashiii?
Girl: I've told you like, a thousand times that we didn't do this, y'know!
Girl: If you're still convinced it was us, then where's the proof!

Kishida: Hey, now!
Girl: Kishida-chan!

Girl: You really shouldn't get involved with Takahashi-senpai.
Girl: It won't bode well for you.

Taka: But I don't have any...
Box: You'd need to read their minds to find such a thing.
Box: Those two are rotten to the core, no doubt about it.

[p088]

Box: They knock others down to raise themselves up.
Box: That ugliness is their vice.

Box: They're the type I hate the most.

Rin: The fantasy may seem a bit old-fashioned,
Rin: but the retro look is quite stylish.

Kishida: Eh?
Kishida: Um...

Girl: What's with her! That's creepy!
Girl: We're outta here!

(Kishida): That really was what she was thinking.
canvas: The culprit beat me to the punch again. Next time, I'll slash it up too.
(Kishida): I was able to see inside her mind.

[p094]

(Kishida): With these, I can find the culprit.
(Kishida): I absolutely can't forgive the sort of weak-minded person who would slash a painting someone worked so hard on.

Girl: Takahashi-san, I heard somebody like, did it agaaain?
Girl: That's so totally sad!
Girl: Are you gonna be able to finish in time for the Toto Exhibition?

Taka: Ah. Well...

Taka: There's still two weeks left until the exhibition, so

Kishida: So it wasn't one of those three either.

Kishida: Takahashi Yuka is a modest girl who's always fidgety.
Kishida: Apparently she's been bullied since her first year, but
Kishida: she's hated an awful lot.
Kishida: I wonder why...

Rin: I assume you have already located the culprit, Kishida-sama?

Teacher: Quiet down over there, Kishida!
Kishida: Wha? But...

Kishida: Why isn't anyone bothered by it?

Rin: Mayhaps you are more concerned with others' assessment of you than with the culprit?

Kishida: Haah?
Kishida: It's plain to see what people think of me.

[p099]

Rin: You are only looking at the surface.

Kishida: Eh?

Rin: Oh dear, that's not good.

Rin: Would you care for a toasted sandwich?
Kishida: No, um...

Rin: It has cheese and ham inside,
Rin: and the bread is imprinted with a bear image.

Rin: Ah.
Rin: Please don't look at the underside.
Rin: I'm afraid it is burnt.

[p100]

Rin: The bear underneath has also been charred black.

Kishida: Huh? What're you even saying?

Teacher: Hey, Kishida!! What're you doing, eating during class!

Kishida: This kid gave it to-

Kishida: She's gone!

(Kishida): It totally is.

Box: No one could tear their eyes away.

Box: They hate her out of frustration,
black circle: I'm absolutely no match for her.

That painting looks so cool. / That's great. / Wow, she's talented. / She has good taste.
She's a genius. / It's overwhelming!
How'd she get so good?
I wanna paint like that too. / So cool!

Kishida: But-

Kishida: It's not really all that impressive, you know?

[p111]

Girl: Ah, but
Girl: Kishida-san's is definitely the best.
Girl: Yup, definitely.

circle: Kishida's just conscientious.
Box: That
Box: means I'm skilled, right?

circle: It's like the grand prize is all she's after.
Box: I put in a lot of effort and created a good painting, didn't I?

Kishida: Oh.
Kishida: That's right, ahaha.

Kishida: This means they're jealous of me, too.

Shimada: A ball that close to the edge of the net would usually fall prey to a blocker hitting it from below!
Yachi: Ah...
Saeko: Ooh.

Shimada: Since it was Karasuno's serve, Shiratorizawa was preparing to make an attack.
Box: Net

Shimada: However, it became a free ball for Karasuno as a result of Kageyama's strong serve,
Shimada: and Shiratorizawa had to immediately shift from attack mode to blocking mode.
Box: Net
Box: Moving to block

Shimada: Naturally, that means they weren't fully prepared to block,
Shimada: and our side used that momentary gap to strike.

[p002]

Shimada: ...Well, our side hadn't exactly prepared for that either, though.

Crowd: Those two Karasuno guys are first years, right?! That attack had some amazingly miraculous timing!
Crowd: They've probably been playing together for a long time.

Saeko: But it's definitely reassuring to have someone handling the... block follow-up, I think it's called?
Box: Attack
Box: Block follow-up
Shimada: On that last play, everyone already knew that "only Azumane would be spiking", so they got into follow-up positions, but

Shimada: fundamentally, Karasuno's style involves sending everyone in to attack at once.
Shimada: Those who don't spike ultimately become "decoys."
text: Synchronized attack
Shimada: They're more focused on "how to avoid being blocked" than "what to do when they're blocked."

Shimada: So... when that happens, it's generally out of their hands.

[p002]

Shimada: When we were in middle school, we'd often get berated to "make sure you get in there on the follow-up!", though.
Taki: I tell'em that when I'm coaching, too. Well, even as a player, you end up hoping someone's got your back.

(Ukai): The will to attack.

(Ukai): Managing to receive the full brunt of

(Ukai): Shiratorizawa's attack
Tsuki: One touch!!
(Ukai): is probably something other teams have pulled off before now.

(Ukai): But after that,
(Ukai): after the successful receive or one-touch, what's left is

[p009]

(Ukai): the power to score.
(Ukai): I keep telling you
(Ukai): that when it comes to scoring, you can puff out your chests with pride.
(Ukai): So

Ukai: don't yield an inch!!!

(Tendou): I haven't seen him team up with #10 even once.

(Tendou): On that note, he teams up with that bearded guy in the back a lot.
(Tendou): No, wait.

(Suga): "We'll do it again
(Suga): next time."

(Tendou): I get it.
(Tendou): It was my loss as soon as I got caught up
(Tendou): in this train of thought.

[p011]

sfx bubble: Bump

(Suga): "Will he toss it to me?"

[p012]

(Suga): That thought never enters our minds.
Suga: YESSSSS!!

(Suga): "I'm going to spike it."
(Suga): Just how much do we confuse the enemy blockers by surging forward on that one thought alone?
Tanaka/Noya: WOO WOO WOOOOO!!!

(Suga): I know the answer from watching this guy every day.
Shou: Alright!!

Washi: Satori!!!

Box: Oono Masayoshi (16)
Oono: stop tossing your cigarette butts on the ground.

Box: Does confrontation scare you?
Box: It's okay.
Box: Japanese people apologize without reservation,
Box: and old men just turn a blind eye to things.

Box: Plus, this is Akihabara.
Box: I'm sure everyone here has a strong sense of justice.

[p051]

Box: As a devotee of the popular tokusatsu hero "Akujiki Man III",
Box: I enforce the same sort of justice as the protagonist, Izumi Taiga.

Oono: I mean, smoking while walking is against the law to begin with!!
Oono: What are you gonna do if you expose children to it!!

Oono: Did you know that removing graffiti in New York reduced the amount of crime?
Oono: There's a connection between a town's landscape and its criminal activity, you know. This is Akiba, which is said to stink of otaku even under the best of circumstances, so you can at least clean up after your own cigarettes.

[p052]

Oono: W- what an intolerant guy...
Box: 10% of people get unjustifiably angry when given advice.

[p053]

Box: I won't yield to violence, though if I get rough-housed every time, it's definitely going to interfere with my daily life.
(Oono): Maybe I should take up a combat sport too, like Taiga's.

Oono: Stop throwing your cigarette butts on the ground!!
Man: I'm sorry, I won't do it anymore!

(Suga): He read my toss?!

(Tendou): You're scared to use the guy in the middle 'cause there's a blocker lying in wait, right? I understand.
(Tendou): That's why you'll toss to the left.
(Tendou): Yup, I understand completely.

Tanaka: Kh!

Tendou: And
Tendou: anoooother!

Semi: No matter how you slice it, he's not fired up at all.

Tendou: You know, no matter what you do, you never look like you're having fun!

Tendou: Your dad played volleyball?

[p003]

Ushi: Yeah, in the 2nd division league.

Ushi: He suffered a number of injuries and ending up retiring before getting married, though.
Tendou: Woah! What'd he go by?
Ushi: Utsui Takashi.
Tendou: Never heard've him...
Tendou: Wait, his last name isn't "Ushijima"?
Semi: Tendou really has no off switch, huh.
white sfx: Clack
Ushi: That's because he married into the family.
Ushi: My parents divorced some time ago, though.

Tendou: Er.
Tendou: Sorry.
Ushi: Okay?

Tendou: Do you still see him?
Ushi: No, he's overseas right now.
Tendou: Huh! Cool!
Tendou: Sooo,

Tendou: if you become a star, even your dad will see it.
Ushi: ...I suppose so.

Reon: I think Shiratorizawa won the nationals during his father's generation.
Tendou: Really?! That's awesome!
Tendou: So you basically wanna be like your dad, right?
Ushi: ...Not particularly.
Tendou: Oh. Okay.

Ushi: I just

[p004]

Dad: Our ace is literally the best in Japan!

Dad: When we were 3rd years in high school, he was 190 cm tall and still growing.
Dad: But he didn't just have physique working for him. He was the sort of guy who made you think
Dad: "if I toss to him, he'll definitely score"!
Dad: You feel like he can pull off anything!
Dad: It's... really exciting!!

Ushi: wanted to be like that.

[p005]

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

Crowd: Did the libero just do a toss? And everyone else went into approach runs??
Crowd: Karasuno's still got new tricks to bring out, this far in?!

Crowd: Interesting!
Crowd: Attacking en masse really is the way to go.
Crowd: Nah, you've gotta have someone handling the follow-up.
Crowd: You just need to make sure you don't get blocked.

Gramps sfx: Hoho!
Gramps: Maan, that was one awkward-looking toss!
Gramps: It's plain to see that he's pretty bad at overhand passes!
Noya: Hah!
Gramps: And because of that, he not only chose to do the more difficult back toss, but also made it a success. That kid's got spirit!

[p006]

Ushi: Yeah.
Ushi: It's the first time I've seen
Ushi: a libero toss while everyone else moves in to attack.
(Reon): That's rare.

Tendou: Even though you admired their play just now, you still don't like #10, right?

Tendou: I think your dislike of him
Tendou: comes from the idea that he's an unknown.
Tendou: 'Cause people are scared of what they don't understand.

Taki: Wait, Tsukki knew how to do a one-man time differential?!
Taki: He sure took his sweet time!

Aki: The one-man time differential is a technique you don't see much of nowadays.
Aki: It's no good against read blocking, so
Aki: it isn't a trick you can pull off multiple times.

Saeko: Then that means
Saeko: he was waiting for a time when they "absolutely needed to score"!!

[p002]

Shou: Damn you, Tsukishimaaa...!
Yama: Nice kill, Tsukki!!

Shimada: The one who scores is bound to leave an impression, but
Shimada: what's both essential for, and difficult about, getting a break, is the initial receive of the enemy's attack!
Shimada: In other words, without Tadashi's serve, which disrupted the opponent's rhythm, that break would never have happened!
Taki: Quit bragging about your student!

Washi: You're dropping your elbows!!
Washi: That's why spikes that should blow right past them aren't doing squat!

Shimada: even Ushiwaka's stamina will reach its limit...!

Gramps: Judging by their usual pattern, if things get any more disadvantageous for Shiratorizawa,
Gramps: they might just give Karasuno this set, let Ushiwaka recover a bit...
Gramps: and finish things in the next one.

Gramps: But they might just make off with this set too, if they work at it!

Tendou: He's had to set things up for #10's crazy attack movements,
Tendou: and he's kept it up as a matter of course since the game began.
Tendou: Precision is likely expected of him moreso than anyone else,
Tendou: and even while he's under the most pressure from the opposing blockers,

Tendou: he's also handling the ball far more

(Reon): And then he aimed for where the spike would be hit, huh...

[p007]

(Reon): So basically, #5
(Reon): intended to hit along that trajectory regardless of how off-balance he was.
Tanaka (half-hidden): Sorry about that!

Tsuki: That was an impressive block just now.
Tanaka: Yeah, I guess!!

Gramps: That ain't half bad!

Gramps: Being able to pull off such a high-level move so easily, I mean.
(Ukai): That one step is all you need!!!

(Gramps): ...But this opponent wouldn't be called "champions" if that were enough to beat them.

Suga: Come to think of it, didn't Ushiwaka say something to Hinata between sets?

Yama: "Incapable midgets have no right to exist,"
Yama: apparently.

Suga: Seriously?? Are you sure that's not some paranoid exaggeration?!
Yama: I thought so too, but that seemed to be the gist of it.

Suga: What d'you think Hinata's gonna do, being told something like that?
Narita: Is it really something to laugh about?!
Suga: Well,

[p013]

Suga: if he were the sort of person who'd really lose heart over a comment like that,
Suga: he wouldn't be here, y'know?

Crowd: Kawanishi!

Tendou: His blocking's just as omnivorous as always!
Semi: Huh?

left: The fated 4th set is a close battle right from the get-go!!!

[p002]

Tendou: He's fundamentally a read blocker,
Tendou: but when he's in the zone, he uses guess blocking,
Tendou: and this time, he used commit blocking and jumped at that #10 shorty.
Tendou: It's a style where he only fights battles he knows he can win.

Semi: That's definitely the smartest way of going about it.
Tendou: Shut up! Blocking's all about how big of a KABAM you make!

Yachi: Their synchronized attack was blocked...!
Taki: That #12

Taki: quickly determined that Sawamura's stance didn't put him in a position to attack after receiving that spike,
Taki: and thus instantly discarded the possibility of an attack coming from the right side...

[p003]

Shimada: It's not like there was absolutely no chance of Sawamura attacking from the right, but
Shimada: the likelihood of it happening was overwhelmingly low.

Aki: Split-second judgments like those really hammer home how experienced they are, being champions and all...

Saeko: Tag-team commentary!!

Gramps: You should've been putting that level of thought into things all along.

Aki: Geh!

[p004]

Aki/Shimada/Taki: 'Sup!!!

Gramps: You guys aaalways seemed to jump at the ball before thinking it through, y'know.

Taki: W-
Taki: We were really swamped, y'know!
Taki: With hitting strong spikes! And keeping our serves in-bounds! And making sure our receives got the ball back in the air properly!
Taki: All sorts of individual plays like those!

Saeko: That used to be their dreaded coach!
Saeko: He's Ukai-kun's grandpa!
Yachi: Eep!

Gramps: Well, whatever.

[p005]

Gramps: I see Washijou-sensei has yet another good lineup.

Washi: If Karasuno... hadn't sent everyone in to attack there,
Washi: someone might've been able to carry out a block follow-up.
Man: That's true.

(Washi): Our fighting style and theirs
(Washi): are completely different, but we both prefer to take points by force. In that regard,
(Washi): we're similar.

[p006]

Voice: Nice kill, Tsukishima!
Scoreboard: Shiratorizawa | Karasuno

Washi: This is a battle of philosophies.
Washi: It's been like that since the old days with Ukai.

(Washi): This is a good opportunity.

(Washi): Using these two groups of high schoolers,

(Washi): we'll determine which style is truly stronger.

[p007]

Ukai: Looking at a volleyball court on TV or from the audience, it looks pretty cramped, but
Ukai: if you actually stand on one, it's a lot larger than you'd expect.

(Ukai): There's got to be a way,

(Ukai): no matter how insignificant, to extend our players' reach
(Ukai): as far as possible.

[p008]

Takeda: But you really shouldn't make such a scary face, Ukai-kun.

Box: Sawamura's serve
Voice: Hit'em hard, Daichi!

(Ukai): Keep it the same as always.

Reon: Got it!
Voice: Reon!

(Ukai): Since they're keeping Ushiwaka off serve receives,
(Ukai): we have to keep the left side in check!
(Ukai): And that'll make Ushiwaka hit as much as possible!

[p009]

(Tsuki): He cut straight through the center.
Tsuki: We're going to stop him.

Ukai: If they send Ushiwaka a perfect toss and he perfectly slams it home, there's nothing we can do about it.

Ukai: As for how to reduce the number of points lost the rest of the time,

Ukai: the back center defender will take
Ukai: one step back.
Ukai: This is if Ushiwaka has at least 2 blockers on him, mind you.

Shou: That's the thing Ennoshita-san did in the Wakunan match!
Ukai: Bingo!

Ukai: I think it's worth a shot precisely because it'll support the higher-than-expected level of our
Ukai: Tsukishima-centered blocks.

Ukai: It's just one step,

[p016/017]

(Ukai): but that one step is all you need!!!

Asahi: Orya!

(Ukai): Hinata and Tanaka's quick reflexes have
(Ukai): enabled them to save balls which have blown past us but are still in play, so don't give up on them.

Sideburns: He got it!!

(Ukai): "A good receiver is most effective
(Ukai): with good blocks."

Ukai: I know you guys must be exhausted, but

Ukai: be conscious of your blocking setups.
Ukai: If you go about it haphazardly, you won't just fail to stop the ball. You'll also end up hindering the receive.
Box: The ball could come through anywhere

[p004]

Tsuki: You're not the sharpest tool in the shed, so
Tsuki: you should just use the attack-side blocker as a guideline and follow his lead.

Ukai: If our blocking "wall" starts to fall apart, it might as well be the end of our defense against Shiratorizawa's "cannon."

Ukai: The way to win,
Ukai: be it in offense or defense, is to create a "numerical advantage." Don't forget that.
Team: Right!!

Tsuki: Azumane-san.

Tsuki: Let's close Ushiwaka out of a cross-court spike just a bit more than usual.
Tsuki: If Nishinoya-san is able to see a slightly wider area, there's a greater likelihood he'll be able to receive the spike.

(Asahi): Tsukishima's thinking one step ahead.

[p005]

(Asahi): When it comes to blocking, Tsukishima truly is realiable.
Tsuki: Nice receive.

[p007]

(Asahi): Tsukishima isn't just getting better as a single blocker.
(Asahi): He's becoming our blocking playmaker.

Washi: Tsutomu!!
Washi: Put yourself right in the middle of things, or you're not gonna be able to do digs or one-touch follow-ups, got it!!
Goshiki: R-right!

Goshiki: Urgh... coach is calmer than usual,
Goshiki: except with me...
Reon: Why do you think he's yelling at you the most?

Goshiki: Because I'm inexperienced!!
Reon: It's because he expects the most from you.

Goshiki: Okay,
Goshiki: bring it on!!
Gata: How simple can you get...?!
Reon: It's the truth, though.

[p008]

Voice: In front!
Reon: Got it!

(Ukai): One point after another...
(Ukai): Ushiwaka doesn't hesitate in the slightest...

[p009]

(Ukai): Things haven't gone as they expected, so he doesn't plan on letting the match continue any further than necessary, huh...?
(Ukai): He may not look it, but that's one bullishly stubborn setter they've got.

(Washi): Hm... but
(Washi): we don't need an assertive setter like that.
(Washi): Nah, it's different.

(Washi): It would be wrong to say that Shirabu
(Washi): doesn't have any assertiveness as a setter.
(Washi): He's quite the rascal, carrying out intensely assertive setups that practically shout "Well? Take a look at our ace."

(Washi): A rascal who fits in perfectly at Shiratorizawa.

Ushi: My bad.

label: Antenna

Box: OUT!!
Shimada: By the way, it would be considered out if you hit the ball from the other side of the antenna, or if the ball or player touched the antenna.

Tendou: That was a fluke just now, right? Totally a fluke, right? I bet your heart's beating like crazy.
Goshiki: A fluke? Of course not.

Shou/Tanaka: YEAH!!

(Ukai): That's right.

(Ukai): Receives, spikes, blocks, and serves. All of them are individual variations of offense and defense.
(Ukai): With a team that changes every year and players who are still developing, you can't possibly perfect everything.

(Ukai): Everyone makes a choice as to
(Ukai): what weapons they will strengthen.

Noya: I'm the only one who can combat him on equal footing.

[p004]

Asahi: ...Since the beginning of the game, Nishinoya's now gotten a good feel for Ushiwaka's spikes.
Asahi: I think his body and eyes are definitely getting used to them.

Aki: Karasuno is just as good when it comes to offensive power.
Aki: All that's left is pulling off a break somehow...

Ukai: I said it before, but there's essentially nothing wrong with what you're doing.
Ukai: Stick with it.

Ukai: You don't have height on your side, so
Ukai: timing will be more important for you than the others.

[p009]

slams the spike right through us,
things go well and we get a one-touch,


(Tsuki): Or...

[p015]

Tsuki: Azumane-san.
Tsuki: If Ushiwaka comes up from the righthand side with a quickly-timed attack,
Tsuki: and we're against him as a 2-man block, let's close him out of a cross-court spike

(Tsuki): just a bit more than usual.

(Tsuki): We can't force his spike trajectory as well as we could with 3 blockers,

Box: their speed and the skill at which they effortlessly used combination plays made them a real sight to behold.
Box: I suspect that's why there were so many people cheering for them.

Box: They couldn't be like "Ushiwaka,"
Box: but they probably figured they could become a team like Kitagawa Dai-Ichi's.

[p005]

Box: From my perspective as a setter, "Oikawa" was plenty monsterous too, though.

Box: On the whole, we weren't that tall,
Box: so Kitagawa Dai-Ichi's style should have been our goal.

Box: And yet, my thoughts turned elsewhere.

Box: Their excellent teamwork
Box: and attacks which used multiple players...
Box: All of that was pushed aside.

Box: At the same time, doubt welled up within me.

Kane: Still, his tosses are completely different now. He used to be the confident type, firing off these really intense quick sets.
Shirabu: Nice cover!
Voice: Get it over!

[p009]

Voice: Nishinoya!!

Boxes: Karasuno | Shiratorizawa
Yama/Suga: YESSS!!!

Man: Man, Kageyama's pretty good, huh? He seems to have mellowed out, too.
Man: Don't you think it's a shame we didn't get him?
Washi: Hm... but
Washi: we don't need an assertive setter like that.

Washi: ......Well, he is good at serving, and it seems he'd even work well as an attacker...

Washi: Still, a guy like that, who has quite the fixation on the setter spot,
Washi: wouldn't be happy coming to our school.

[p010]

Voice: One more, Tanaka!

Washi: Did their play style seem all that exceptional to you?
sfx bubble: Stinging

Washi: The way you guys play is strong
Washi: precisely due to its simplicity.

Washi: It's strength without all the
Washi: bells and whistles.

Washi: So just hooow many times do I have to tell you that, you numbskull!!
Goshiki: Skull...?!
Reon: He's saying you're an idiot.

[p011]

Crowd: Nice kill, Goshiki!
Crowd: Goshiki!
Goshiki: Yess!!

Shirabu: Nice kill!
Crowd: Goshiki!

Saeko: What the heck!
Saeko: Don't tell me their engine's revving up again!?
Aki: It's more like they've leveled out.

Aki: Karasuno had pulled them into a fast rhythm,
Aki: but now they've returned to their usual one.

[p012]

Ukai: I was a setter too, but
Ukai: if it were me, and our ace were stopped cold like that,
Ukai: I'd feel a greater need to do something about the opposing blockers.

Ukai: That impatience isn't the only thing on a setter's mind.
Ukai: Like, will the receive's return toss be too low or too fast? And will the attacker's approach run be cut short as a result?
Ukai: That's how you destroy the rhythm without even realizing it.

Ukai: But he's set it
Ukai: back on track.

Ukai: It's easy enough to say things like "normal" or "best",
Ukai: but they're ultimately just words.
Ukai: It wouldn't be unusual to lose sight of what exactly they refer to.

(Ukai): I may say that, but it'll all be over for us if we lose our way here.

Tanaka: Tsukishima! Izzat really you in there?! So you're seriously serious about this now, huh!
Tsuki: Oww!!
(Tobio): Tsukishima really isn't someone to take lightly after all...

Asahi sfx: UOOOH!
Daichi: Wait! Tsukishima'll collapse if we join in!!

Ushi: Sorry.
Reon: It's okay, there's always next time!

[p004]

Suga: Sorry for saying that we can still give Ushiwaka a run for his money, even if we can't stop him.
Yama: Bwuh?

Suga: I mean, you had this complicated look on your face when I said it.
Yama: Geh?!

Yama: Nah, I thought that Tsukki was putting in plenty of effort, too.

Yama: But, see, despite how he looks, Tsukki hates to lose, so
Yama: I just figured that he was bound to try doing something about it.

Saeko: That's some crazy waterworks right there!!
Saeko: You're sure happy about your little bro's block, huh!

Aki: Kei is finally acting like he's a real part of the team...!
Saeko: So that's it!!

Saeko: That Kei's one amazing guy.
Saeko: He knocked Ushiwaka's spike right to the floor!

Aki: ...You know,
white sfx: Honk
Aki: Shiratorizawa's toss was probably a bit off-kilter just now.

Shimada: Huh. You think so?
Aki: It's only a hunch, but yeah.

Saeko: Eh?
Saeko: Then...

[p006]

Takeda: Then,
Takeda: it was due to a mistake on our opponent's part?

Ukai: I wouldn't go so far as to call it a mistake.
Ukai: But, well, that wasn't the only factor...

Ukai: ...When the other team persistently manages to get one-touches off your attacks, preventing you from scoring,
Ukai: who do you think feels the greatest buildup of stress and pressure?

Ukai: It's the setter.

Ukai: So, it's only natural that a setter would want to shake off the blockers through his own power.
Takeda: Tsukishima-kun was what caused that disruption in the toss...?!

[p007]

Ukai: See,
Ukai: our goal was to weaken Ushiwaka's attack power as best we could,
Voice: One touch!
Ukai: thus enabling us to get enough points in the 2nd set.

Ukai: But from the very start,

Ukai: Tsukishima was the only one who had no intention of remaining satisfied with that.

Asahi: That was a nice block, Tsukishima!!

[p008]

Tsuki: They've likely faced blockers of my level before.
Tsuki: Still, I figured that things like Nishinoya-san's receives and the oddball combo's attacks, which completely bypassed the opponents' blocks,
Tsuki: had put considerable pressure on the other team's setter.

Asahi: You were thinking all of that?
Daichi: Scary.
Daichi: You're scary, Tsukishima.

(Tendou): That guy purposefully created what looked like an opening
(Tendou): to make Wakatoshi-kun think he'd make it through,
(Tendou): and then closed it.

[p009]

Tendou: That damn glasses brat.

Saeko: Pheew...!

Saeko: I'd thought that block was another split-second super play, but
Saeko: it wasn't at all!
Saeko: To think he could have so much stuff on his mind while moving around like that.

Yachi: ...Tsukishima-kun is smart, so he seems like the sort of person who's constantly thinking about things,
Yachi: both in volleyball and life in general.
Aki: He's pretty eccentric, huh. Sorry about that.
Yachi: No, not at all!

(Aki): Well, that's probably largely my fault.
Tsuki: How'd today's practice match go?
Aki: It was no problem!
Aki: I hit a whole ton of spikes!
Tsuki: That's so cool!
Aki: "Even though it was like that in high school, why are you still playing?"
Aki: Isn't that what you want to say?

[p010]

Yachi: But just now,
Yachi: I got the feeling that Tsukishima-kun was only thinking about stopping that spike.

Yachi: Single-mindedly,
Yachi: as if he were solving a difficult test question.

Aki: ...Yeah.

Voice: Tsukishimaaa!!

Shou: "1 point's as good as 100."
Shou: That was it!!!

[p012]

Tsuki: Thanks.

Shou: Why yoouuuuu!
Tanaka: Calm down, Hinata!!
Tanaka: He definitely looks like he wants to say "you're a middle blocker too, so try it yourself", but calm down!!

Tsuki: Please don't get so excited over it.

[p013]

Tsuki: It's just 1 point.

Washi: Kenjirou.

Shirabu: ...Yes.

Washi: From the look on your face, you already know what I'm going to say.

[p015]

Tendou: You alive, Kenjirou?

Shirabu: If this had been a practice match, I'd feel twice as humiliated.

Tendou: That so??
Tendou: It's not like your toss was bad enough to qualify as a screwup, though.
Tendou: I mean, it happens to the best of us.
Tendou: Plus, that glasses brat's block was pretty good.

Shirabu: This is no mere mistake we're talking about.

"His time has come" - 月が満ちる (tsuki ga michiru), literally means “the moon is full/the moon rises.” It’s apparently also used to indicate when a pregnancy is nearing its due date.
