02x17 - The Battle Without Will Power

[bunniefuu]

teru: Aw, damn it.

teru: If we had won yesterday, we'd be in a match right now.

boha: Now if only Karasuno can beat Shiratorizawa,

boha: we'll look a little cool.

teru: No, we wouldn't.

boha: If their # wasn't there, we would have won.

futa: No, you mean the setter.

That guy is insane.

teru: I think it was the captain.

teru: The one that was the most interesting was their # though.

fuuta: The captain, huh?

Well, you've got a point.

futa: Sort of like the foundation that no one really notices?

sign: Haikyu!!

kage: Sawamura-san!

azu: Daichi!

tana: Daichi-san!

sign: Episode : "The Battle Without Will Power"

guy: What's going on?

guy: What's wrong?

guy: He's on the ground.

iwa: What's going on?

oik: They collided.

oik: Right after they returned that last ball,

# , the bald guy, and the captain crashed into each other.

oik: It looked like he hit his head pretty hard.

iwa: Seriously?

sawa: Ow...

kei: Where did you get hit?

sawa: M-My face?

take: Sawamura-kun, where are you right now?

sawa: Sendai City, in the gym.

take: Who are we playing right now?

sawa: W-Wakunan.

I'm fine!

take: But it appears that you hit your head,

so please go to the infirmary.

kei: Right.

take: Go have them confirm that you really are okay.

That's the quickest way for you to return to the match.

sawa: Yes, sir.

shimi: Blood...

sawa: Eh?

kei: Did you cut your lip?

He doesn't seem to be dizzy.

hina: A tooth?!

oik: There's a possibility their captain won't be playing any more this match.

oik: Though that's the coach's decision.

iwa: It'd be scary if he had a concussion, though.

kei: Sensei, can I leave the rest to you?

tana: D-Daichi-san...

tana: I'm sorry—

swa: Sorry, Tanaka.

sawa: I saw you go in for the cover,

but my body moved on its own and went in there.

sawa: But look.

sawa: Because you got that ball over, we're now in the s.

sign: Karasuno Wakunan

oik: Baldy from Karasuno usually displays a high level of mental toughness,

oik: but he's used to being forced into a corner.

oik: I wonder what he'll be like now, since he broke their leader.

oik: If they lose this match,

it'll probably be the captain's last.

sawa: Sorry, Asahi. I'll be right back.

Hold things down until then.

sawa: I'm counting on you.

azu: Of course. Leave it to me.

iwa: He's walking on his own,

so I think he'll be okay.

oik: But the problem is this match.

oik: I wonder who's going to take charge in their head's place?

iwa: The second setter, maybe?

oik: Unless there's someone who often practices in pairs,

a setter who's skilled enough in both offense and defense to take on a wing spiker...

oik: It'll be hard for someone to fill in.

oik: A wing spiker to take his place, huh?

I'm not sure if Karasuno has one.

suga: You're the only one we have.

We're counting on you.

kino: Chikara! You've got this!

oik: He played in the practice match.

What was he like again?

iwa: I don't really remember him.

Well, he seemed like a guy who can handle things well.

oik: Karasuno doesn't have a lot of players,

so they may just not have anyone else.

enn: This is the same as a practice match...

Same as a practice match...

Same...

sawa: Well, go out there, and give it all you've got.

enn: This isn't the same!

Playing behind him and taking his place are completely different.

tsuki: Oh, so it is you, Ennoshita-san.

kage: Is it okay if we start with a fast attack?

enno: Ah... Sure.

nishi: Chikara! Their # tends to hit toward the outside,

so keep that in your head.

enn: R-Right...

hina: Ennoshita-san, you've got this!

suga: Ennoshita, you have every right to be worried.

yama: Let's do this!

suga: But if anyone has to replace Daichi,

nari: You can do it!

everyone on our team thinks it should be you.

tana: Ennoshita, sorry. We're counting on you.

fly,sign: Fly

enn: What do you mean, "sorry"?

enn: About running into Daichi-san?

enn: Of course one of you got hurt after something like that.

enn: In the end, maybe it may cause Daichi-san to leave the match,

enn: but what's on our minds right now...

Asahi-san, if you would.

azu: ...is how glad we are that you weren't hurt, too.

enn: Right, right. Come on, come on.

enn: Our offense is already weakened just by having Daichi-san out.

enn: If you get depressed, it'll just make things worse.

kamo: Wow, this is surprising.

At first glance, Ennoshita seems like he'd be pretty timid.

sae: No way!

sae: Judging by how he is whenever he's over at our place,

Chikara's definitely the don of the second-years.

suga: He's the best wing spiker for managing

the out-of-control second-years who are the core of our offense.

kino: And lately, his influence has spread to our first-year troublemakers, too.

hina: True...

suga: Ennoshita, nice serve!

naka: Nice receive!

person: Center!

waku: All right!

naka: All right...

naka: We're gonna take this back quickly.

enn: Damn it... I'm sorry.

waku: All right!

nishi: I'll guard a little wider.

enn: Thanks, Nishinoya.

nari: Don't worry!

enn: There's no way I can beat Daichi-san in technique right now...

kino: We'll get the next one!

enn: But... now that I'm standing here,

hana: Takeru, one more! Nice serve!

there's no point in running away by making excuses like that.

enn: Not to mention...

enn: I already know that I'd just make things troublesome later if I run away.

enn: Bring it!

naka: Not bad, Karasuno's substitute captain!

sign: Haikyu!!

sign: Haikyu!!

kei: Nothing's gonna change with the third-years taking charge until the spring tournament,

kei: but you second-years need to at least start thinking about

who's going to be the next captain.

enn: That's what Ukai-san was saying.

tana: The next, huh...

nishi: I think Chikara should do it.

enn: Why?!

nishi: Just 'cause.

enn: Wait, you just ate that popsicle in two bites.

tana: According to the rules, liberos can't be captains, right?

nishi: Yup!

kino: I think Tanaka's qualified, too,

but looking at the first-year lineup...

kino: The simpleton idiots.

nari: The smartass.

nari: Yeah... you can't help but think that we need someone with a sound mind in charge.

tana: I agree with having Ennoshita as captain,

but I'm not fully satisfied.

tana: You two need to put yourselves in, too!

kino: Nope, nope, nope, nope...

narita: Yeah, not happening.

tana: Damn it!

enn: But I ran away...

enn: There's no way I could lead the team.

enn: Summer vacation one year ago...

gramps: Not yet! Not until you can do this!

gramps: Come on! Don't get exhausted after that!

enn: The day after, we lost two first-years...

At this rate, we're never gonna finish!

And a few days later...

enn: I had gone to practice ever since junior high, but...

enn: I skipped one for the first time.

enn: I pretended to be sick.

enn: I felt guilty,

but I didn't have to deal with that painful practice,

or being yelled at.

enn: The air conditioner is amazing.

enn: The next day,

and the day after that...

enn: I don't have to run in the heat.

I don't have to get yelled at.

enn: I wonder if I'm actually some huge masochist.

enn: I-I'm sorry I skipped!

Please let me practice!

sawa: Ennoshita, thank goodness you're back.

kuro: Well don't come in your uniform, then!

sawa: Captain...

enn: I-I'm sorry! I'll go change right now!

kuro: Dealing with other people is hard,

kuro: but you can't just be nice, either.

sawa: Right.

enn: Hey! If you're going, get changed first.

kuro: All right, let's get started.

all: Right!

kuro: Get running!

all: Right!

three: R-Right...

kuro: Karasuno... Fight!

all: Yeah!

kuro: Fight!

all: Yeah!

enn: There were five first-years that boycotted practice at the time.

enn: Two of them quit the volleyball team,

and seem much livelier now.

enn: Which is better?

That probably depends on the person...

enn: It was harder for me when I wasn't playing volleyball, so I came back.

enn: But the thought of running away...

...will stay with me

tana: That might be why.

nishi: You're back right now and that's all that matters.

nishi: Hey, I won!

I'm gonna get another one.

tana: Not everybody who joins a sports club is going to be the reckless type.

tana: I don't know much about those who are a different type than me,

tana: but I think you do.

enn: Well, this is all in the future, so...

tana: Yeah.

nishi: All right!

enn: In any case, there's no way that a coward can do it.

enn: Bring it!

nishi: It's up!

tana: Ennoshita, nice!

Connect it! Connect!

azu: Give it to me!

kage: Azumane-san!

three: All right!

karasu: All right!

hina: Nice k*ll!

nishi: Chikara! Great job getting it up!

enn: R-Right...

enn: Even if I'm a coward,

even if I'm no match for Daichi-san,

enn: I'm gonna fight!

enn: That's why I came back!

sign: Karasuno Wakunan

kino: Asahi-san, nice serve!

kawa: Sorry!

kara: All right!

naka: It's okay. Let's get the next one!

hina: Nice serve!

suga: Nice serve!

bg: Nice, Asahi!

suga: One more!

kawa: Like hell we're giving it to you again!

kawa: I'm gonna get this!

naka: Nice, Hanayan!

shima: Wakunan's pretty calm.

kawa: Nice!

yama: Don't mind, don't mind! Let's do this!

kino: Yamaguchi...

yama: Yes!

Nice receive!

kino: Shimizu-senpai's calling you.

tana: All right!

sign: Karasuno Wakunan

suga: Tanaka, nice k*ll!

shima: Huh?

kei: When Tsukishima's up to serve,

we'll have Yamaguchi come in as a pinch server.

kei: In this situation, we just want to avoid them coming back and taking this set.

kei: We're gonna make a run for it.

person: All right.

tsuki: You're too tense.

tsuki: This isn't like last time when the other side had the lead.

tsuki: Right now, everyone's just thinking we're lucky if we get the point.

yama: Thanks, Tsukki!

tana: Was that him trying to make someone feel better?

azu: Tsukishima's such a smartass.

enn: Yamaguchi, do you feel like throwing up?

yama: Huh? Not just yet.

enn: Then you'll be fine.

enn: Because I feel like I will.

yama: A-Are you all right?

enn: I can barely stand.

tana: Well done, Ennoshita...

yama: What?!

He knows how to get people to calm down

when they're nervous.

shima: I feel sick...

yama: It'll be okay. It'll be okay.

Just like Tsukki said, we're in the lead.

yama: And I practiced...

yama: Crap! The serve toss was a bit low!

Nice serve!

It's over the net!

sign: Karasuno Wakunan

suga: Just one more point!

tana: Yamaguchi, nice serve!

enn: One more!

yama: R-Right...

nishi: You've got this, Yamaguchi!

yama: I was lucky that made it over.

yama: But if I miss the next one, the plus and minus will zero each other out.

yama: Then, I have to...

yama: It's got to be better...

to make sure to get it over.

sae: Huh? I guess he's not doing a jump serve this time?

naka: Got it!

kawa: Nice!

guy: He gave up on a jump floating serve?

Is this some kind of plan?

guy: I think I remember that guy

missing a serve when he was the pinch server during the Seijoh match, too.

guy: Not to mention, that last serve was dangerous, too.

guy: I think he's just scared.

ama: Crap! An attack is coming.

Move, legs!

suga: It's falling! Front, front, front!

yama: Move, legs!

suga: It's up!

tana: Cover! Cover!

nishi: Nice, Chikara!

kage: Azumane-san!

azu: Right!

suga: All right!

sign: Karasuno Wakunan

hina: All right!

nishi: Asahi-san, that last back attack was awesome!

azu: Thanks.

nari: Hey, Ukai-san's back.

hina: Doesn't he seem really pissed off?

kei: Yamaguchi!

enn: U-Um...

enn: H-He knows.

enn: I think he knows more than anyone else.

sae: What? Was there a problem?

shima: Even if you don't jump,

you can make serves that don't spin and are hard to receive.

shima: But if you jump and hit it from a higher point,

the ball will travel faster and with more force.

sae: Huh...

shima: I don't think it's bad to be cautious right now.

sign: Wakunan Karasuno

shima: In the end, Karasuno scored the point.

But...

shima: For Tadashi to be able to fight as hard as everyone else around him right now,

shima: the serve is all he's got.

shima: If he runs away from that, there's nothing left.

yama: What else do we need besides pride?

hina: Hey, Tsukishima.

yama: I acted all tough with Tsukki,

Don't you have something to say to Yamaguchi?

but I'm just a coward.

tsuki: Why don't you go say something?

yama: I'm so lame...

tana: Ukai-san, how's Daichi-san?

kei: He's fine. There's no worry of a concussion.

kei: But his mouth is bleeding pretty badly, and he's in a lot of pain.

kei: I'm having him rest for a while, just in case.

tana: I know.

kei: We're gonna win, and ready the next stage for Sawamura.

kei: There's nothing else to think about right now!

all: Right!

enn: Right!

suga: All right, let's go!

suga: Karasuno, fight!

all: Yeah!

pink,banner: Furiously Vigorous

shira: Nice k*ll, Ushijima!

shira: Ushijima!

shira: Ushijima!

sign: Shiratorizawa Hakusuikan

guy: Shiratorizawa's just got five more points to go.

iwa: Let's go.

oik: Yup.

guy: Also, the match between Karasuno and Wakunan

guy: seems like it's going to go on for a while.

iwa: I wonder how Karasuno's doing without their captain.

oik: Just because a super receive is flashy,

doesn't mean it's good.

oik: If a ball that had always gone up for them

suddenly doesn't go up anymore,

sign: Wakunan Karasuno

oik: that will slowly but surely get to them.

oik: I think...

They're feeling that right about now.

hina: Nothing less from Ennoshita-san.

You'd probably make a good captain.

hina: I wonder who'd be fitting for vice captain...

hina: Tanaka-san and Noya-san definitely aren't it.

kage: Why?

hina: Because they're both kids.

kage: Did that really just come out of your mouth?
