girl: Yes.
crowd: Go, go, Tebaichi! Push it, push it, Tebaichi!
crowd: Go, go, Tebaichi! Push it, push it, Tebaichi!
guyA: That's them. You know, Karasuno.
guyB: Karasuno?
guyA: They're the ones that played a full set with Aoba Johsai at the Inter-High prelims
guyA: and actually almost b*at them.
guyB: Whoa, seriously?
guyA: Apparently, Kitagawa Daiichi's King of the Court is on that team.
kage: When does the judging start?
guyC: Apparently Chidoriyama Junior High's Nishinoya is also there, too.
nishi: Probably the next one, since we don't have a match this round.
guyB: The guy who was called the best libero when we were in junior high?
guyA: Yeah. But other than the libero,
I think there was one other guy who kept receiving Oikawa's serves.
guyA: I think it's their captain.
guyB: But the members of Karasuno don't really seem that tall, do they?
guyA: I'm pretty sure one of them is close to cm,
guyA: though I don't think he stood out much during the Inter-High prelims.
guyA: Not to mention, their two lefts are pretty scary.
guyA: They look like power spikers.
guyA: And most importantly...
guyA: Their manager's cute.
shimi: I'm sorry that you have to cheer from up above, Hitoka-chan.
guyB: Or rather, she's hot. Or rather, she's sexy!
guyA: Also, there's that one guy...
guyA: The tiny middle blocker that hits those crazy quicks...
guyA: Karasuno's # !
guyA: Whoa, what the heck? He looks like he's skin and bones!
yachi: H-Hinata, are you okay?
hina: Yep, I'm fine.
hina: I threw up on the way here, so I feel better.
tsuki: Of course you'd feel sick after eating all those pork bowls for breakfast.
hina: It's normal to eat pork cutlets on game days!
tsuki: And by "normal," you mean...
kage: You dumbass! Hinata, you stupid dumbass!
sawa: Kageyama's insult vocabulary is limited to "dumbass."
kage: I-I'll do my best to widen my vocabulary!
yachi: I have that one thing you can drink!
yama: I-I feel like I'm going to puke, too, after remembering Hinata puking...
hina: Oh, thanks!
tsuki: Huh?
tsuki: Go to the bathroom, already!
azu: M-My nerves are getting to me, too...
suga: I thought you were busy concentrating, but you were actually trying not to puke?!
nishi: Shoyo, is this seriously the second time you threw up on the bus?
tana: You were able to actually hold it in until the bus stopped,
instead of puking on someone's crotch.
tana: You've really grown up, Hinata.
guyB: Is that really the team that almost b*at Seijoh?
nishi: Shoyo!

hina: They won their first match already.
towa: Hm? Oh, you're just a junior high kid.
hina: Huh?
towa: Hey, sorry for yelling at you.
towa: You here to cheer your big brother on, or something?
towa: My little brother loves that T-shirt, too.
hina: I... I'm first-year at Karasuno High School, Hinata Shoyo.
hina: We're going to win, and go to nationals!
towa: What? Karasuno?
towa: Don't make going to nationals sound so easy.
hina: Huh? But I mean it.
towa: Shut up, you little—
hina: I'm gonna b*at everyone, and go to Tokyo.
towa: Even if you were somehow lucky enough to keep winning,
towa: everyone just gets crushed by Shiratorizawa in the end.

bg cheer: Go, go, let's go! Let's go, Kaji!
kei: Listen up.
kei: All of their third-years are already gone,
kei: but their power has always been with their second-years.
kei: They also just won straight through the first round.
kei: Don't let your guard down!
Make sure you're especially cautious of their # on the left!
all: Right!
take: Since the Inter-High prelims ended,
take: you've taken on unfamiliar challenges and you haven't been in sync.
take: On top of that, you've lost about seventy practice games
against the powerhouse schools from Kanto.
take: But your new weapons that kept failing at first are finally starting to take shape.
take: Please get a win that makes up for all of the frustration you felt.

ukai: Yeah.
old: I guess that is your precious grandson's team.
ukai: That's got nothing to do with it!
yachi: Ukai? Grandson?
yuu: You're from Karasuno, too, right?
What are you doing up here?
yachi: Th-There's only one manager allowed on the bench.
yachi: You didn't know that?
aya: Oh.
Ah, there's Sho-chan!
old: I actually just saw them play the other day,
yuu: Oh, yeah!
but they have an intense first-year duo.
yachi: Sho-chan? Oh, you mean Hinata.
old: Karasuno might actually make it pretty far this year.
ukai: There's no match that you can't win,
and there's no match that you'll win for sure.
ukai: You can feel a little off, nervous, or panic...
ukai: No matter how strong the school, their team members are human.
ukai: Even the slightest thing can trip someone up.
ukai: Now... let's see how Karasuno will do today.
nishi: Asahi-san, nice serve!
karasu: All right!
yachi: Yay! That was amazing!
old: Starting with a no-touch ace.
ukai: Not bad.

Let's go!

sawa: He changed it up to a tip.
tana: Daichi-san, nice!
yachi: S-So fast! It's like he was waiting for it!
sawa: I feel like I can see the spiker's movements better than before.
nish: Asahi-san!
tsuki: Ever since the first round,
Ougi Minami hasn't been doing quicks any time the receives were a bit off.
tsuki: Left.
person: Tazawa-san!
karasu: All right!
sawa: Nice, Tsukishima!
take: How do I put this...
It seems like everyone is hesitating less in their movements.
kei: It wasn't like they were just practicing their new moves at the training camp.
kei: They had plenty of practice against
tana: All right!
powerhouse schools that were all completely different.
kage: Nice receive!
kei: The power behind their serves and spikes...
the diversity in their att*cks... their defense...
kei: Basically anything high-level...
They've gotten used to it...
kei: Far more than before.
karasu: All right!
towa: Damn it...
kage: All right!
nishi: Nice, Kageyama!
yachi: Another service ace!
kage: Thanks!
Now it's a set point.

Where's your usual enthusiasm?!
aki: Yeah, that right there! Bring that enthusiasm!
towa: The captain's voice was all raspy
Let's get one!
because he was trying to talk over Shiratorizawa's cheers.
aki: It's up! Towada!
towa: Even if I went after it, I wouldn't be able to reach it.
towa: Even if I could reach it,
towa: there's no guarantee that someone would connect next and be able to score.
towa: Even if it did connect, it'd only get us one measly point.
towa: There's no point going after it...

aki: Hey, don't look so glum!
You guys look even scarier.
aki: You guys were seriously some problem children,

towa: He really means that he's going to try to do that.

coach: Winning or losing doesn't matter.
What's more important is that you guys do your best.
aki: Hey! Damn it!
Don't get all quiet!
towa: C-Captain Akki-kun!
aki: You guys are so tough when it comes to fighting,
but why is it you get so weak when it comes to volleyball?
towaa: Weak?!
aki: I-It doesn't matter how strong you are.
I'm on the second floor, so I'm not scared!
person: Why did he even come?
aki: You guys get just a little pushback, and then you give up.
aki: That's what I mean by weak.
aki: This is your fight, so how you handle it is up to you guys.
aki: But let me just say this...
aki: Being serious, giving your all, and doing your best...
aki: None of that's lame!
guy: What the? Scary...
guy: Senpai, did you lose your mind?
towa: Sensei!
coach: Yes?
towa: You know, since we came here to fight each other on the opposite sides of the net,
towa: I don't think we have any other option than to win and continue on.
towa: Trying to act tough and worrying more about how we look
towa: is pretty lame.
mori: Towada...
towa: All right, I'm gonna say it.
mori: What?
towa: We're going to b*at Karasuno!
towa: We're gonna get through the prelims!
towa: We're going to fight Shiratorizawa!

yuu: He did it again!
old: That first-year duo really is something.
ukai: Yeah.
ukai: But the second and third-years are far beyond my expectations, too.
ukai: Right now, Karasuno is on the brink of revival,
ukai: thanks in great part to their passionate advisor and newfound strength.
ukai: But that's all because they have a sturdy foundation.
old: Foundation?
ukai: Last year, just for a short time, I came to see a practice at Karasuno.
ukai: At the time, they had the ability and dedication.
ukai: However, I felt a lack a confidence in them.
ukai: It's like they were subconsciously used to losing.
old: They don't look like that now.
ukai: When the current third-years came to Karasuno,
monthly,sign: Monthly Volleyball
ukai: it was right around the time where Karasuno being a powerhouse school
ukai: became a thing of the past.
ukai: I'm sure the gap between their expectations and reality was pretty big.
ukai: They were probably around during the worst time.
ukai: That's exactly why...
uai: The ones who didn't rot and didn't give up,
uai: and are still here now, have an unwavering strength.
nishi: Daichi-san, nice receive!
karasu: All right!
yachi: Amazing! So amazing!

suga: Yeah.

And now we're at match point.
towaa: Every single time... We get cornered on the court,
towa: and I always regret how much we didn't practice.
sawa: One more, Kageyama! Nice serve!
person: It looks like Karasuno and Ougi Minami's match
is gonna end faster than I thought, so let's get ready for the next match.
person: Yeah. Games sure go fast when there's such a difference in ability.
aki: It's not over yet! Don't give up!
towa: I might just make it...
Or will I not?
towa: Well, we're still second-years,
towa: so I guess we'll have next year...
towa: And that's why you never get any stronger, damn it!
towa: Connect and finish it!
nishi: Damn it!
hina: Tanaka-san!
yoko: It's not over yet!
towa: Give me the last one!
towa: I definitely underestimated him.
towa: I thought it was stupid for him to think he'd make it to nationals.
towa: I'm...
towa: a fool.

towa: Yeah.
aki: Just so you know, frustration is the right thing to be feeling right now.
aki: No matter what the fight is,
when you lose, it's only natural to be frustrated.
aki: I'd go as far as saying even guys who don't practice much
aki: probably feel frustrated when they lose a game.
aki: I think frustration is real for anyone.
aki: But...
aki: Those who forget that frustration after three days will always be weak.
aki: If you waste time
aki: during your three years in high school, time will completely fly by.
aki: Don't you dare forget the frustration you're feeling right now!

There's a centimeter difference.
hina: Listen!
yachi: F-Forty centimeters is the same size as Ketty-chan.
yachi: That's not that big!
tsuki: Is that an attempt to cheer him up?
yama: Tekachu is also centimeters.
tsuki: Note: Fujikujira sounds like a type of whale.
tsuki: So is a fujikujira.
yachi: F-Fujikujira?
yama: What's that?

I'm sure he'll be fine even if he's like that before a match.
yachi: R-Right?!
old: Well, it's finally about to start.
old: But they're going up against someone that big.

ukai: Well, who knows?
old: Wha...
fly,sign: Fly
ukai: High school boys haven't finished growing yet,
and their plays aren't complete.

just by how tall someone is or if a team has an amazing ace.

old: B-But...
hina: R-Right!
ukai: Height, by itself, is a w*apon in its own right.
ukai: Seeing how Karasuno will deal with it...
sawa: Let's go.
all: Right!
ukai: ...will definitely be worth watching.
yama: So a fujikujira is a kind of shark, huh?
tsuki: There are a lot of fish with confusing names.
tsuki: For example, a kinmedai might sound like it's related to sea bream, but it's a tropical fish.
yama: You really know a lot about fish, Tsukki.
