suga: Nice serve!

yama: I just can't get it.

azu: Which will it be this time?

tana: Gah!

chalkboard,sign: Red White

white: All right!

coach: All right. That's enough for today.

hina: Let us play one more set, please!

coach: Huh?

kage: Please!

coach: Guys, playing until you drop isn't the answer.

coach: Captain, you need to tell these guys―

coach: You guys...

chalkboard,sign: Red White

hina: I haven't practiced hitting enough... Not yet.

hina: Kageyama! You can still go, right?

Give me some tosses!

kage: Right.

tana: You guys are still gonna practice?

sawa: Hey! We've still got to clean up,

coach: They're all definitely realizing their own potential,

so that's enough for today!

coach: but what our team lacks is experience.

both: Right...

azu: Ow, ow! Hey, Nishinoya!

volley-overlap,suga: Hey, make sure you cool down properly.

coach: They definitely haven't had enough practice matches with other teams.

azu: Ow!

coach: I can't count on the neighborhood association being able to show up.

coach: What should I do?

hina: Sensei?

tana: Take-chan?

coach: You okay?

take: W-We're going, right?

hina: Where?

kage: Your nose is bleeding!

door,sign: Volleyball Team (Boys)

hina: Nekoma?!

yama: Gross!

ya: Tissue!

kage: A practice match?

take: Yeah! But it won't just be Nekoma this time.

take: The Fukurodani Academy Group.

take: It's a group of schools from the Kanto region that includes Nekoma.

take: Apparently, they hold practice matches all the time.

take: This time, because of Coach Nekomata,

Karasuno will also be able to participate in their practice matches.

coach: Groups like that are created through relationships built up over years,

coach: so it's not easy to get in without connections.

coach: We've got to make sure to thank Coach Nekomata.

coach: And Sensei, too, who I'm sure kept persistently asking him.

take: No, I didn't, really...

Your name helped a lot, Coach Ukai.

all: Thank you!

take: Over the years, we've lost our connections with other schools in the prefecture

that we were once close with.

take: There are many schools where the coaches

that were once close to the former Coach Ukai are now gone.

take: We shouldn't miss this chance!

all: Yeah!

kage: I'm going to be able to see that set up in person again.

kozu: Maybe I caught a cold...

I'm getting chills.

yama: Hey! We're right before a match!

nishi: This time, I'm going to protect us 'til we win!

yaku: Yeah... It might actually be a little cold today.

yama: You, too, Yaku-san?!

tana: We're gonna take down that City Boy Alliance!

tsuki: City Boy...

yama: ...Alliance?

yama: I'm feeling hot! I'm burning up!

kuro: Yamamoto, shut up.

hina: This time, I'm going to break through for sure!

take: Um, the only thing is,

their prelims for the Inter-High start this weekend,

take: so it won't be right away.

take: Also, at this point, we've only received the invitation.

take: There are some agreements we have to work out,

but I'll tell you all about the details another time.

take: But it seems that all of you are...

sawa: Of course!

all: We'll go!

take: I've got a staff meeting, so I've got to get going.

take: Ukai-kun, I'll leave the rest to you.

ukai: Sure.

all: Thank you!

azu: It's going to get busy.

sawa: Yeah.

suga: You'll be busy, too, Shimizu.

suga: This'll be your first long trip with us.

shimi: I'll do my best, too.

coach: Come on! Hurry and clean up, then go home!

all: Right!

hina: Thanks for the food!

guy: I wonder who it is.

guy: Maybe she's a third-year.

girl: So pretty...

hina: What? What's happening?

hina: Shimizu-senpai!

guy: Hinata knows the hot third-year?!

hina: Wh-What are you doing h-here...

shimi: Hey, Hinata?

shimi: Do you know any first-years who aren't in a club?

side: Aoba Johsai High School

bottom: Oikawa Toru (Third-Year)

tana: Oikawa's featured in Monthly Volleyball,

and it even has his picture.

suga: Well, he's good enough to play in a national league.

suga: So, what does it say?

tana: Um...

tana: "Oikawa's favorite food is milk bread.

tana: His favorite saying is, 'If you're going to hit it, hit it until it breaks.'"

suga: What the hell is that?

nishi: Who cares? That's completely useless!

left: Third-Years Remain to Take Down Shiratorizawa

tana: Looks like Seijoh wants to take down Shiratorizawa,

tana: so most of the third-years that were regulars are still there.

tana: Come on and bring it, Seijoh!

hina: Bring it!

suga: Hey! You're gonna rip it!

suga: For crying out loud...

hina: Japan?

cap: Hey! Get out here already.

We're going for a run.

suga: Hey... Ushiwaka's in the Youth World.

sawa: What?

yama: Youth World?

tsuki: Simply put, he's representing Japan in the under age group.

sawa: Only one high school can represent Miyagi in the spring tournament.

sawa: For us to go to nationals,

sawa: we'll have to defeat Ushiwaka and Oikawa.

sawa: All right! Let's go running!

all: Right!

take: This is reality.

take: I need to accept it, and think rationally...

take: It'll be okay.

Those kids have plenty of guts, so they'll be able to do this.

take: They can do it if they try.

take: They can do it if—

take: They can do it if they try. They can do it if they try.

lady: Takeda-sensei?!

tana: Here we are.

Karasuno's famous Heartbreak Hill.

sawa: All right! Ten dashes uphill to the halfway mark!

sawa: Two at a time!

sawa: Ready...

sawa: Ready...

sawa: Tsukishima! Run like you mean it!

sawa: Ready...

sawa: Ready...

sawa: Ready...

guy: Hey, good job, Tsukishima.

tana: Hey! Where are you guys going?!

tsuki: Pretty sure we can just let them go.

birds: Nitwit. Nitwit. Ntwit.

hina: No one's behind us.

hina: You totally went the wrong way somewhere, didn't you?

kage: That'd be you, dumbass!

hina: Where are we?

hina: Wakano -chome?

kage: Isn't Wakano near Shiratorizawa?

hina: Shiratorizawa? You mean Ushiwaka's school?

ushi: Did you need something from me?

hina: Japan!

hina: Japan!

ushi: If you don't need anything, I'll be leaving.

kage: We came from Karasuno!

Would you mind if we did some recon at Shiratorizawa?

hina: Is he serious?!

Aren't you supposed to recon in secret?

ushi: Karasuno...

ushi: The team that uses that weird quick att*ck?

ushi: Do as you like.

ushi: No matter what your abilities may be,

ushi: we won't get weaker just because you watched us.

ushi: I'm heading back to school now.

: If you want to look, follow me.

ushi: If you can keep up.

kage: Of course we're going.

: We're going to defeat you at the spring tournament.

: Of course we'll watch.

hina: Yeah.

hina: Are you out doing roadwork by yourself?

ushi: Everyone else is just slow.

They're back there somewhere.

hina: Kageyama!

Don't you dare get a head start!

kage: You're just slow!

kage: As expected, he runs at a fast pace.

hina: Holy crap!

I'm super excited! Whoo!

kage: Calm down, dumbass! Are you a dog?

kage: Are you out for your first walk, you idiot?!

shira,sign: Shiratorizawa Academy

hina: It's so big!

hina: Their school building looks so cool!

It looks like a hotel!

hina: What's with this super-huge athletic field?!

sign ,signs: Management Center Parking Lot

sign ,signs: Indoor Practice Area | Baseball Field Golf Practice Area Tennis Courts

hina: Whoa! This place is so big they need signs!

hina: Kageyama! Horses!

They have horses!

hina: The volleyball team has its own bus!

kage: Hey. Don't get lost.

hina: I won't!

kage: We've lost sight of Ushiwaka-san!

hina: Then we're lost!

hina: This looks like it might be the volleyball team's gym...

kage: Yeah.

hina: Hey, can you see Ushiwaka?

kage: Shut up! Don't push!

hina: Huh?

Isn't that another school?

hina: Is it a practice match? Who are they playing?

kage: Aren't those college students?

hina: College?!

kage: Well, no other high school in the prefecture stands a chance against Shiratorizawa.

kage: They'd have to go out of the prefecture

or have a college team come in for it to even count as practice.

hina: Curse you, Japan!

ushi: Took you long enough.

kage: I'm Kageyama from Karasuno High.

Would you mind if I had a look?

ushi: Kageyama...

From Kitagawa-Daiichi.

kage: Yes. I applied for this school, but wasn't accepted.

ushi: That's not surprising.

ushi: I remember seeing one of your matches from junior high.

ushi: We don't need a setter who can't serve the ace at this school.

hina: True. You're not really one to serve anyone.

kage: What?!

hina: But that goes the same for the Great King, too.

He is the top setter in the prefecture, after all.

kage: Oikawa-san has nothing to do with this!

ushi: Oikawa...

He is an efficient player.

He should have come to our school.

kage: Are you saying that Oikawa-san would have been able to serve you?

ushi: No matter where he is,

Oikawa is a setter that can bring the absolute best out of his team.

ushi: If the team's absolute best is still weak, there's nothing more to be done.

ushi: If it's strong, he'll make it as strong as possible.

ushi: That is his ability.

ushi: A sapling must have good soil in order to grow strong.

ushi: Infertile soil will not bring forth splendid fruit.

hina: Infertile soil?

What do you mean?

ushi: Other than Oikawa, everyone at Aoba Johsai is weak.

ushi: That's what I mean.

hina: Weak...

hina: If Seijoh is infertile soil,

are we concrete or something?

kage: He's usually pretty scared of strong players he's meeting for the first time.

ushi: I apologize if I hit a nerve,

ushi: but words from someone who lost to Aoba Johsai and couldn't even stay in the prefectural finals

ushi: mean nothing to me.

ushi: He...

hina: I'm Hinata Shoyo, from the concrete.

hina: I'm going to b*at you, and go to nationals.

old: Hey, are you from another school?

You're not allowed to be here.

hina: Thank you for showing us around.

We'll be going now.

kage: Um...

If Oikawa-san is the best setter in the prefecture,

kage: I'm the one who is going to surpass him.

kage: If you'll excuse me.

ushi: Stamina, speed, acceleration,

vertical jumps, fighting spirit...

ushi: Hinata Shoyo.

ushi: Kageyama Tobio.

kage: Well, in truth,

we are a team that couldn't b*at Seijoh, who in turn couldn't b*at Shiratorizawa.

hina: That doesn't matter, as long as we b*at both of them.

kage: We seem to be on the same page.

hina: That's why we're going to Tokyo.

hina: It's best to go up against strong guys if you want to get stronger.

take: Ahem...

take: As for our series of away games in Tokyo,

take: for the time being, it's planned for next month.

take: Because they are away games,

we will need permission from your parents or guardians,

take: so I'll hand out those forms later.

take: We also have tentative consent from the school, as well.

take: However,

take: as you are aware,

you have final exams starting next month.

take: Right?

take: So, I think you know what I'm getting at,

take: but if you fail any subjects,

supplementary classes will be held that weekend.

take: Which means you won't be able to go to the away games.

hinata: What happens if we skip our final exams?

yama: Supplementary exams.

hina: Then what happens if you skip those?

yama: Supplementary exams for the supplementary exams?

hina: I know! We'll just take the tests after the away games!

tsuki: If you try to feign being sick, you won't be able to go to the away games, either.

tsuki: You have my condolences.
