02x21 - The Destroyer

[bunniefuu]

all: Out!

suga: Lucky!

sign: Karasuno Aoba Johsai

We won the first set against Seijoh!

yachi: We won the first set!

shima: All right!

taki: Take the second set, too!

kyo: Sorry.

oik: That idiot! Not only was that obviously Kindaichi's ball,

oika: but then he steals it only to hit it out?!

oika: And they were at set point!

oika: How can I even start to explain?!

iwa: That's dangerous!

hana: Iwaizumi!

oika: Yeah, that's it! That's how to start!

kinda: Oh, I'm fine...

kyo: I was feeling stressed because I hadn't been put in the match.

oika: That's not a valid reason!

guy: Who the hell is that?

guy: Why would Seijoh swap in a guy like that?

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

hina: Ah, that guy from earlier is there.

He's starting this set.

kage: Since he's replacing Kunimi, he might be pretty smart.

Be careful.

oika: You're more or less free to play how you want,

but if you interfere with us, you'll be back on the bench.

iwa: Just don't do any unnecessarily dangerous plays.

kyo: Right.

oika: Why did you only reply to Iwa-chan?!

ya: He challenged Iwaizumi-san a whole bunch of times,

and lost every single time, so he at least listens to Iwaizumi-san.

iwa: Not happening!

kumi: What are we, a wolf pack?

ya: Well, the one who'll be using him is Oikawa-san.

kuni: Right.

sawa: We're gonna take this momentum and run with it!

We're gonna win the second set, too!

all: Yeah!

sign: Haikyu!!

sign: Episode : "The Destroyer"

nishi: Asahi-san, get one! Nice serve!

wata: Out!

azu: Damn it! Sorry!

suga: So close! You'll get the next one!

enn: Don't mind!

sawa: Your face is scary!

azu: What'd you say?!

matsu: Oikawa, nice serve!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

nishi: Out, out!

oika: Sorry!

iwa: Don't mind. We'll get the next one.

haru: I wonder what's wrong with Oikawa-kun.

He messed up another serve.

yuu: But that speed is incredible.

Touching that would break off your arms.

sawa: I feel like we're getting more in sync.

tana: Tsukishima, nice serve!

iya: Damn you!

oika: Nice cover, Iwa-chan!

kage: There are three attackers on the front line... Who's it going to be?

oika: Mad Dog-chan.

kage: Open from the right?!

hina: What the heck is "Mad Dog"?!

Is it an alias? That's awesome!

yachi: One blocker!

shima: What?

He's sprinting basically parallel to the net?

iwa: Three blockers!

taki: That cut shot was insane!

shima: So that's why he was running like that.

sae: Hm?

shima: When you're facing the block,

there are choices you can make,

but chances are you'll get blocked.

shima: Instead, he hit it to cut across the blockers.

shima: He comes in from the right and hits with his right hand,

pulling off that incredible cut shot.

hina: Mad Dog is amazing!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

hana: Iwaizumi, nice serve!

oika: It's coming back! Chance ball!

sawa: Damn it! Sorry!

kei: Oikawa and Iwaizumi can really pressure us if they make a lot of serves.

wata: Got it!

kei: And now, there's also the Mad Dog...

guy: A double quick?!

all: All right!

crowd: Great, great, Kentaro! Push it, push it, Kentaro! One more time!

oika: I know he's a mad dog, but he's not going to keep biting,

so you can come in.

oika: The Shrimp knew you weren't going to hit it, Kindaichi.

kinda: Sorry, I was a bit scared.

oika: Iwa-chan, one more! Nice serve!

Yeah!

oika: Nice receive!

hina: C quick!

oika: Y-You okay?!

hana: Y-Yeah, I'm fine. I'm fine.

taki: It's that # again! Three points in a row!

sawa: Even though they're getting in, those attacks seem pretty violent.

sawa: Ever since that # came in, their attack rhythm has changed.

hana: Kyotani, nice k*ll!

hana: Iwaizumi, one more! Nice serve!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

iwa: Sorry!

kara: All right!

yachi: We finally get a point back.

oika: Nice, Makki!

hina: Here it comes!

Let's battle, Mad Dog!

kage: After letting # go all out on his attacks,

kage: now it's a slide hit from Kindaichi!

seijoh: All right!

oika: He's angry that he was used as a decoy.

oika: Though that itself makes him an even better decoy.

oika: I'll make your fangs even sharper.

sawa: Let's play carefully! That's a Seijoh we're not familiar with.

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

wata: Kindaichi, nice serve!

nishi: Got it!

tana: Left!

hina: Center!

kage: Is this a strategy where one middle blocker is always on Hinata?

oika: It's up! Cover!

hana: Got it! Kyotani, get the last!

hana: Sorry! It's close to the net!

oika: Three blockers!

oika: If he hits it, it'll get caught.

oika: Bring it back once!

suga: Nice block!

kara: All right!

kunimi: That was an intense full swing.

yaha: That idiot...

person: You idiot! There are other ways to hit or even feint!

kyo: If I don't attack in with all I've got, it doesn't feel good!

mizo: Why you...

coach: Now, now, Mizoguchi-kun...

coach: He'll eventually correct what he has to correct.

mizo: Right...

tana: So about him being pretty smart...

kage: I just thought that he might be!

hina: He doesn't know the bliss of a feint... What a waste.

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

oika: Makki!

sawa: Nice, Nishinoya!

oika: Nice, Makki! Mad Dog-chan!

sae: It's the guy who hits from the side again.

hina: I'm going to stop him this time!

kara: All right!

sae: We're saved.

shima: Having three blockers on you and then trying to hit

as hard as you can on a narrow course is pretty risky.

keie: That attack that seems to be powerful, but unreliable...

kei: Since he didn't start in this match,

that # just might be a double-edged sword.

hina: That # 's spike...

hina: It's all shwing! Whoosh!

It's so cool!

oika: Right? Right?

oika: Of course, Mad Dog-chan is a strong jumper,

as well as unbelievable dorsal and abdominal muscles...

oika: He goes in tight and lets loose!

oika: It's intense, right?

If he gets through a block, the ball won't be easy to pick up.

mizo: He finally got one in.

Oikawa used him well.

If it were me, I would have passed to someone else.

seijoh: All right!

coach: Tenacity and boldness.

You can't use the mad dog if you're scared.

crowd: Kyotani, nice serve!

tana: Out!

kara: All right!

take: His serve is quite dynamic, too.

sawa: Nice call!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

taki: One step forward, one step back.

taki: It's basically a stalemate.

shima: Yeah. That # can score a lot, but makes just as many mistakes.

seijoh: All right!

kinda: Iwaizumi-san, nice serve!

wata: Cover! Cover!

oika: Makki, get the last!

wata: Got it!

oika: One more! One more!

hida: The receive is off!

nishi: It's coming to the left!

oika: It's on purpose.

hina: Mad Dog! His timing's even faster now.

Second tempo!

oika: We're well aware that he's a double-edged sword.

oika: That's why we put him in!

oika: All right!

others: All right!

crowd: Great, great, Kentaro! Push it, push it, Kentaro! One more time!

enna: That's a crazy angle.

suga: Tearing off a block with your own hands

is definitely bliss only a setter knows.

sae: Get on it!

yachi: Nice receive!

hina: Center!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

kara: All right!

nishi: Shoyo, nice serve!

tana: Hinata, give it all you've got!

hina: Again, I'm rotated to the back without getting a single spike in...

wata: Got it!

kage: Nice receive!

kage: All right! Here we go!

yachi: Hinata's back attack!

hina: My first back attack!

seijoh: All right!

oika: Did you think now was your opportunity to use that?

oika: I did, too.

kage: Keep calm, keep calm, keep calm...

hina: My back attack debut...

shima: I thought they could break it, too.

taki: If they don't start catching up, this'll get ugly.

yachi: Ah!

shima: Ah?!

shima: Sugawara got called to the bench?

shima: They're changing setters again?

Kageyama doesn't seem to be doing bad.

shima: What happened now was just due to Oikawa being intense...

taki: Actually, I don't think they're switching out Kageyama.

kei: We're not going to let you just take it.

We're going to do everything we can.

sigh: Haikyu!!

sign: Haikyu!!

yachi: Is Sugawara-san switching with someone?

shima: It's a strategic player trade.

sae: Don't make it sound so complicated.

taki: Come on, college student.

taki: When someone's not doing well or someone gets hurt,

there are times where a pinch server or a one-point blocker goes in, right?

taki: The latter is a strategic player trade.

seijoh: All right!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

mtsu: Iwaizumi, nice k*ll!

shma: In the last Seijoh match,

they were cornered and ended up being forced to switch, but...

shima: This time, it's most likely for them to get the win.

kei: # is an unknown element, and dealing with Seijoh has gotten even more difficult.

kei: But we're not going to just let them take the game.

suga: Yes, but before that...

iwa: Oikawa-san, nice serve!

oika: Oh, here it comes.

oika: That's a nice serve toss.

seijoh: All right!

sawa: It's like getting slapped in the face really hard

: and coming back to reality.

sawa: Neither of us can let the other win, and we've both trained to win.

sawa: It all makes sense.

sawa: It's to be expected, but the reality is still so terrifying.

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

iwa: One more, nice serve!

kei: Front!

nishi: Damn it! I held back too much!

sawa: Nice receive, Nishinoya!

tana: Left!

tsuki: Tanaka-san!

sawa: Three blockers!

kara: All right!

sae: Ryu! Well done!

taki: Ah, here it comes.

taki: The switch.

sugi: All right! We're gonna catch up.

both: Yeah!

azu: Suga, we need that nice serve!

suga: Yup.

both: Bring it!

tana: Suga-san, nice serve!

suga: Serving right after switching in sure is nerve wracking.

suga: But there's only one place to aim for.

hana: Kyotani!

taki: That was good!

shima: Now their # was late in attacking.

kara: All right!

shima: A break!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

enn: Suga-san! One more, nice serve!

oika: Again...

mizo: Kyotani is a wing spiker,

mizo: but he's the type who goes after quicks one after another.

mizo: They're getting Kyotani to move on the serves so he can't go after the spikes.

mizo: Karasuno's # has hit on an annoying tactic.

tana: Daichi-san, nice receive!

sawa: All right!

suga: Yes!

kinda: Kageyama pulled back from an attack?

kinda: Five Karasuno spikers?!

three: All right!

hina: N-Nice k*ll...

Damn it. Kageyama's straight is awesome!

yachi: Is this what you call two setters?

sae: Even more jargon...

sae: Then...

sae: Strategic one point two setters!

sae: Right?

shima: That's too long.

enn: All right! One more point!

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

kara: All right!

taki: Switching players now?

taki: They're in a good spot.

sae: All of the third-years are good at receiving.

shima: I see...

positions-upper,sign: Net

positions,sign: Server

shima: Volleyball has a rotation system, and the players' positions are always changing.

shima: The front line and backline have different jobs, so each rotation has a specialty.

shima: And apparently...

positions-upper ,sign: Net

positions ,sign: Server

shima: The rotation when Tsukishima is serving,

is weak for both defense and offense.

shima: There are only two spikers in front,

and Tsukishima can't block from the back.

shima: Considering their rotation,

it's quite a feat that they were able to keep getting points.

equip,sign: Aoba Johsai

oika: Well, what's it going to be?

hana: How about we make them miss?

iwa: Yeah.

nishi: Suga-san! One more! Nice serve!

mizo: They're going after Kyotani again!

hana: Got it!

oika: Nice, Makki!

suga: As usual, they figure things out quickly.

all: All right!

nishi: Suga-san, nice!

Thanks.

suga: Damn it. I wanted to take it to a tie.

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

kage: Tanaka-san!

Yeah!

suga: Kageyama, nice serve!

oika: Iwa-chan!

taki: He picked it up!

oika: Watacchi!

watari: Right!

seijoh: All right!

shima: How do I put this?

shima: They're forcing # to do all their attacks.

taki: Yeah.

taki: Maybe they're trying to get all the attention on #

and then hand it off to someone else.

hina: No matter how many ba*ls go to the Mad Dog,

I'm not gonna be tricked anymore!

kage: Tanaka-san!

tana: Got it!

oika: Nice, Makki!

hana: I know why we put Kyotani in...

hana: It's for a little extra punch power.

For a bit more offense.

oika: Mad Dog-chan!

hana: If we don't use him to his fullest, we're in trouble!

seijoh: All right!

kage: Damn it...

oika: Here they come, here they come!

oika: Hey, we're in a good spot.

taki: They managed to get into the 's.

sae: Even if they lose this set, Karasuno won the first set.

sae: As long as they get the next one, they'll be fine.

shima: No...

shima: They need to do whatever they can to win this set.

oika: We're gonna finish this!

shima: If they don't, I have a bad feeling about the outcome.

iwa: Kidaichi! One more! Nice serve!

sawa: Front!

kinda: S-Sorry!

iwa: You're thinking about your aim too much.

tana: Here we go!

sawa: Tanaka, nice serve!

oika: Nice receive!

seijoh: All right!

oika: Trying not to think about something is the same as thinking about it.

sign: Aoba Johsai Karasuno

iwa: Kyotani, nice serve!

tana: Bring it!

seijoh: All right!

kei: The double-edged sword...

kei: Putting in # was sink-or-swim bet for Seijoh,

kei: but I thought they had already used him successfully.

kei: Sensei!

take: Yes!

seijoh: All right!

guy: Again? So quick!

guy: Now Karasuno's used up all of their time outs.

kei: With # as their new weapon,

they were able to score point after point in the chaos,

kei: and use # 's abilities to the fullest during most of this set.

coach: Kyotani is a slow-starter who requires a lot of support.

But, once he gets started, he's strong.

shima: This isn't good.

When a new set starts, it tends to mimic

the end of the previous set, and the match as a whole.

shima: At this rate, Seijoh definitely has the upper hand.

sawa: Let's bring it in! Karasuno, fight!

shima: Do whatever you can to just take this set and win it!

all: Yeah!

iwa: Kyotani, one more! Nice serve!

sawa: Let's get this one!

all: Yeah!

kei: Oh, shut up already. I know.

yama: Please let me go in.

oika: Your engine's starting to get warmed up, Mad Dog-chan.

Let's finish this!

iwa: Kyotani, we're gonna take this set.

kyo: Right.

oika: Why do you only answer Iwa-chan?!

oika: I'm not gonna give you any more tosses!
