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?

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!

We're going for a run.

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.

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?!

It looks like a hotel!

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.
