hina: Where are we going, Coach?

ukai: You'll know when we get there.

kids,sign: Youth Volleyball Class

boy: Let's go home and practice!

boy: That was so much fun!

kage: Sorry.

kid: Hey, you made him cry.

kage: What am I even doing here?

parent: Shh, stop that.

: The class is already over.

kid: Toru! Show me how to serve!

oikawa: Hey! How about showing some respect first?

kage: O-Oikawa-san!

ukai: Come on! Move those legs!

yuu: Nice receive!

ukai: One more!

tsun: Whoa, I can't get that!

keishn: Are you sure you're supposed

yuu: I'm tired!

to be moving around like that right after getting out of the hospital?

ukai: What? If they let you out of the hospital,

it means they're giving you permission to move around all you want.

kei: He's my grandpa.

hina: Huh?!

hina: Gra...

hina: Coach Ukai?!

ukai: So...

You couldn't figure out what to do

title: Episode : "Tempo"

with this weirdo quick att*ck and helplessly ran away, eh, Coach?

ukai: That's your team, you weakling!

hina: Coach?!

tana: He's the great commander that led the nameless Karasuno to nationals.

tana: The name "Karasuno's Ukai" was super famous.

tana: They said he owned a fierce pack of crows.

hina: P-Please help me!

ukai: With what?

ukai: I don't go around smacking random people.

Just weaklings.

kei: You shitty old man...

hina: I-I came here to learn to fight on my own!

ukai: You want to master mid-air battles? When you're only that tall?

hina: It's because I'm only this tall!

hina: I might sound like I'm saying something weird, but...

ukai: What's weird about it?

ukai: No matter what kind of genius setter you're dealing with,

ukai: in what we call a quick att*ck,

the one that's the absolute leader

ukai: is you.

ukai: Stop spacing out! You're the coach, damn it!

kage: O-Oikawa-san, what are you doing here?

oi: I'm watching my nephew.

takeru: Hey!

kage: H-Hey... What about club?

oi: We usually have Mondays off.

kage: Y-You take a day off during the week? That's such a waste!

oi: Resting and skipping are two different things.

oi: See ya.

kage: O-Oikawa-san, um...

oi: Nope! Stupid!

You're stupid! You stupid face!

kage: I haven't even said anything yet!

kage: Oikawa-san—

oikawa: Nope! Can't hear you! Can't hear a thing!

kage: Please listen to me for a second.

oikawa: Why should I have to listen to what my opponent has to say?

kage: Please, Oikawa-san!

Please! Please!

kage: Please!

oika: Takeru.

take: What?

oika: Take a picture.

Hold it like this... And press this button.

oi: Don't move, Tobio.

oi: Yay! I'll call this, "Tobio is No Match For Oikawa-san!"

take: Toru, you're actually happy about this picture? Lame.

oika: Well, what do you want?

I'm busy, you know.

take: You said your girlfriend dumped you, so you had free time!

oi: Takeru! Shut up!

take: What? But when you came, you said you didn't know what you did wrong...

oi: I said, "Shut up!"

kage: So, uh, what if you were close to a tournament, and, uh...

kage: And Iwaizumi-san said he was going to try some impossible att*ck...

oi: Hey.

oi: If you want to talk to me about something,

quit with the lame "what if" story and just tell me flat out.

age: Hinata said he wants to hit our quick with his own will,

kage: even though he had been closing his eyes this whole time.

oi: Oh, really? That'd be pretty impressive if he could do it.

oi: Why not let him?

kage: Please don't make it sound so easy!

kage: Hinata doesn't have any technique!

oi: So you told him, "Just do as I say"?

oi: You sound like a dictator.

oi: Have you put any thought into it?

oi: Are you giving the shrimp the exact tosses he wants?

oi: Have you even tried to?

hina: Kageyama...

hina: Give me a toss.

oi: If you're thinking the situation as good as it can be and you're being defensive about it,

oi: you're basically a coward.

oi: Don't get the wrong idea.

oi: The one who has leadership in an att*ck isn't you...

oi: It's the little shrimp.

oi: If you can't understand that,

you're just regressing back to playing the tyrant king.

oi: Let's go, Takeru.

take: Are you in a good mood, Toru?

oi: I'm happy that Tobio's more run down that I thought he was.

oi: I'm totally blurry!

ukai: You'll need awareness before you improve your technique.

ukai: What do you personally think about this weirdo quick of yours?

hina: Um... I go whoosh, and then jump up as high as I can, like pop,

hina: and then the set comes toward me, like slash,

hina: and then if I wave my arm, like swoosh,

hina: my hand happens to perfectly make contact, like whack.

kei: Er, what he's trying to say is when he jumps up with his eyes closed,

kei: our setter, Kageyama, tosses the ball directly to him—

ukai: I get what you're trying to say.

ukai: But you're wrong, Shrimpy.

ukai: So long as that weirdo quick is indeed a quick att*ck,

ukai: you still hold the initiative in this.

ukai: You need to get that through your head.

ukai: Don't think of your w*apon as something that's unknown.

ukai: Well, I guess it's faster to just show you.

ukai: Shrimpy, try blocking.

ukai: You're a middle blocker, aren't ya? Try stopping it.

yuu: You're in junior high?

taka: What school?

hina: I'm in high school!

ukai: All right, here we go!

kids: Okay!

hina: Is this height for grade school kids?

I feel a bit taller.

ukai: Third tempo.

hina: "Third tempo"?

taka: That's an amazing jump!

Your face was totally above the net.

hina: Well, yeah.

ukai: You've definitely got some spring in your step...

ukai: All right, next!

ukai: Second tempo.

hina: They're coming faster than before, but...

ukai: All right, next!

ukai: First tempo!

ukai: Well?

hina: It's fast!

ukai: Can you block that?

hina: If anything, I don't think I could do it on my own.

ukai: In the three tempos you just saw,

ukai: was there a big difference in how the spiker hit?

hina: No! I don't think...

ukai: Then what was different?

hina: The timing of their running approach?

ukai: Correct! That's what the tempo is.

ukai: Listen. The agility in any att*ck is determined by its tempo.

ukai: It's not how fast or slow the toss may be,

ukai: it's the timing of the spiker's running approach.

ukai: The fastest is the first tempo.

ukai: It's the best way to get around the opponent's block,

ukai: and is probably the att*ck you were doing without realizing it.

ukai: But you need to actually understand it.

ukai: You need to start your running approach before the setter's toss goes up...

ukai: The setter tosses to the spiker...

ukai: Which means, your weirdo quick is also an att*ck where the spiker leads.

hina: First... tempo...

ukai: And... I don't know what kind of att*ck this weirdo quick is,

ukai: but this much is certain.

ukai: There's no better toss than one that the spiker can easily hit.

ukai: It can't be one-sided.

hina: Eh?

ukai: Hinata, practice here for a bit!

hina: S-Sure...

tsun: What a weirdo.

hina: The timing of the spiker's running approach is everything.

hina: One centimeter,

hina: one millimeter...

hina: One second faster to the top...

hina: But that's not enough.

hina: Up until now, I was only working to get to the top, but...

ukai: So from now on,

ukai: you want to fight at the top, too.

ukai: In order for that to happen,

your partner's gonna need some improvement, as well.

hina: Huh?

ukai: I'm sure Keishin will do something about that.

hina: Kageyama's an amazing guy, so I'm sure he can do it.

hina: I don't want to be left behind...

hina: Please teach me how to fight when I'm at the top.

oi: Don't get the wrong idea.

oi: The one who has leadership in an att*ck isn't you...

It's the little shrimp.

oi: If you can't understand that,

you're just regressing back to playing the tyrant king.

kage: Yes, hello—

kei: Kageyama! Where are you right now?!

kage: Ukai-san?

I'm heading to the school right now.

kei: What?!

kage: I was gonna see if they were done with the inspection of the gym yet.

kei: Ah!

kei: Kageyama!

kage: Whoa.

kei: Stop walking! Come with me!

kage: I'm sorry?!

kei: A toss that stops!

Haikyu!!

Haikyu!!

ukai: Shrimpy,

ukai: if you're gonna fight at the top on your own,

ukai: you're gonna have to start with the fundamentals.

ukai: Therefore, you're gonna be hitting one quick after another.

ukai: You're going to get in all the practice that you missed before.

ono: Hello!

daiki: Heyo!

ukai: There you are.

hina: Hi!

ukai: Shrimpy, your assignment right now

ukai: is to do first tempo with anyone.

hina: Got it!

daiki: A newbie?

ukai: Your genius setter isn't here to toss to you,

yuu: He's in junior... Oh, he's in high school.

ukai: so it's not gonna be easy.

ono: Ah...

hina: Right!

ukai: Also,

ukai: in order to get used to the ball,

ukai: you need to always be touching it.

ukai: Always.

hina: Okay.

ukai: It can be with your hands or feet.

uai: Volleyball is a sport where you can't hold the ball.

ukai: You're only allowed to touch the ball for a few seconds...

ukai: You need to control that moment,

ukai: as though ball were a part of your body.

hina: Because your body is small,

use everything else possible to make up for that.

hina: Right!

kage: Tempo?

mom: Welcome.

kei: Well, I have the basic theory of it in my head,

kei: but I was never able to apply it.

kei: I treated your quick att*ck as something special when I shouldn't have,

kei: and almost forgot something very basic.

kage: I think I get the basics of tempo,

kage: but what do you mean by a toss that stops?

kei: Listen. First...

kei: When you're tossing for your weirdo quick,

booze,sign: Point of Impact

kei: it's a toss that passes through the spiker's point of impact.

kage: Right...

kei: But you're going to stop it right there,

kei: at the point of impact.

kei: So, basically...

You're going to make the spiker's highest point of impact

the place you're going to aim for.

kei: You're not going to use so much force

that that the ball passes through the spiker's point of impact,

kei: You'll use just enough force to get to the spiker's point of impact, and then...

kage: ...k*ll it?

kei: The difficulty in controlling your power and how much backspin you put on it

kei: isn't going to be like before.

kei: Not to mention B-quick, D-quick, and slide hits...

kie: The farther out you get, the more difficult they'll become.

kei: Can you do it?

oi: Are you giving the shrimp the exact tosses he wants?

oi: Have you even tried to?

ruckus,sign: Don't Cause a Ruckus

kage: I'll give it a try.

hinata: Tanaka-san!

tana: Oh?

hina: I-I'm sorry about the other day!

tana: No problem! Kageyama just came by, too.

I'm sorry for hitting you guys.

tana: Stop!

tana: I got too worked up trying to stop you guys from fighting.

hina: Your punch really worked, Tanaka-san.

tana: But don't fight in front of girls!

tana: Yacchan's face was as pale as a ghost.

yachi: T-T-Tanaka-shan!

They're gonna die! They're gonna die!

volley-flashbackoverlap,tana: What is? You're scary!

tana: Also, don't fight in front of the Vice Principal, either.

Fight anywhere else.

hina: Right!

kei: Hinata, come here a sec.

kei: All right...

kei: When we're doing practice games, Hinata, you'll be on the B team for a while.

kei: Sugawara, I'm counting on you.

suga: Right!

kei: All right, let's get this started!

Make sure you stay hydrated!

all: Right!

yachi: Um, Hinata...

yachi: U-Um, I was wondering if you were okay...

yachi: You and Kageyama-kun, um, uh...

hina: I'm fine.

class-room,sign: Year Class

girl: Yui! Sawamura-kun's here.

yui: What?

sawa: Hey...

sawa: Once the girls finish practice,

I was wondering if we could borrow the court

sawa: until the gym closes, even just for a little bit.

yui: Oh, sure. I'll go ask.

yui: Did something happen to the second gymnasium?

sawa: No, it's just...

sawa: A lot of the guys are doing their own practices.

sawa: so we don't have enough room.

azu: Damn it.

azu: Serving is the ultimate att*ck...

azu: The only one at Karasuno

who can safely use a jump serve is Kageyama.

azu: I'm not good enough to be able to use it safely in matches.

azu: But then...

azu: I couldn't call it a w*apon!

nishi: Asahi-san!

ahirt,sign: A Match for a Thousand

nishi: Mind if I join you?

azu: Oh, yeah. Sure.

azu: He casually scooped it up upon entering... Damn it.

nishi: Would you mind hitting some of my tosses?

azu: Yeah, sure.

azu: Uh, wait, what?

azu: You're going to toss?

azu: Could it be...

azu: He's gonna try what Seijoh's libero was doing?

nishi: I'll help you with your serves, too, Asahi-san.

azu: I can't be left behind...

azu: Sure. Let's do this.

nishi: All right!

sawa: A synchronized att*ck.

kage: Next, please.

yachi: Got it!

hina: Good evening!

yuu: Sho-chan.

ukai: There you are, Shrimpy.

hina: Um, Coach Ukai,

hina: I've been meaning to tell you...

hina: But I'm not "Shrimpy."

ukai: It's a good enough name for a crappy player like you.

ukai: Come on! Let's go, Shrimpy!

hina: I'm ready!

ukai: You need to put all your thought into jumping with all your might.

ukai: There you go.

ukai: You need to be able to hit the ball at any time, at will,

regardless of who the setter is.

hina: Right!

ukai: Don't try to match them!

ukai: You need to jump at your own pace,

ukai: not anyone else's.

ukai: You need to fight with your own will!

hina: Let's go!

yama: Hey, Tsukki.

yama: I'm gonna head this way.

ono: That's amazing, Sho-kun! Nice cover.

yuu: You used to panic so quickly, even if it was just a little off.

hina: Oh, no. Oh, no.

hina: Shut up!

hina: Up until now, I was able to hit without thinking too much

because of my amazing setter...

hina: But now, all of your techniques and habits are different,

so I have to make it work in mid-air.

hina: It's just a little, but I can see the ball better than before.

ukai: Give me a hand, Shrimpo.

daiki: It went from "Shrimpy" to "Shrimpo."

He's been promoted!

yuu: Is that really a promotion?

ukai: You're going to Tokyo the day after tomorrow, aren't ya?

ukai: Nekoma's coming, too, right?

hina: Yes.

hina: Sensei told us that Coach Nekomata's the one who invited us over.

ukai: He's hard to get along with, but his volleyball sense is second to none.

ukai: The players he's leading aren't going to be easy to handle.

ukai: Let the push you to your limits.

hina: Right!
