[bunniefuu]

Tsuk: One touch!

Tsuk: One touch!

Ten: He sure is persistent...

Ten: That brat with the glasses.

Tsu: Would you let me set the timing

Tsu: for the three-person block?

Kei: They finally got a clean one in.

Kei: Total defense.

Title: Haikyu!!

Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Kara: All right!

Sawa: Nishinoya, nice receive!

Sign: Episode : The Halo Around the Moon

Nish: It was only possible because you all narrowed the gap.

Azu: Great job on the block timing!

Tsuk: Oh, right.

Sae: I see!

Sae: So that block really wasn't done to stop Ushiwaka,

but to guide where the ball was going to go.

Sae: Nice combo play!

Yach: That was sort of like mobbing.

Sae: Mobbing?

Yach: Um... Mobbing is where smaller birds will attack larger,

predatory birds in groups to try to chase them away.

Taki: You know some pretty cool words, Yacchan.

Take: Using a connecting block as a starting point,

they were able to connect everything naturally in that volley.

Take: They were finally able to give it shape.

Kei: Yeah.

Hina: Total defense! So cool!

Suga: Even if we can't stop him by blocking,

Suga: we'll be able to fight Ushiwaka with this.

Guy: They were finally able to lift up one of Ushiwaka's spikes.

Guy: Things are getting interesting.

Yoko: Damn it. They wasted two sets.

Guy: Is that old guy a tsundere?

Guy: That was uncalled for.

Sawa: Asahi, nice serve!

Leon: Out!

Kara: All right!

Coach: Seriously?

Taki: All right, they broke through!

Shia: Take this set!

Yama: They definitely got us with that serve, but we're going to

Yama: hurry up and turn things back around!

Both: Right!

Suga: Asahi, one more! Nice serve!

Yama: Tsutomu!

Gosh: Right!

Shir: Nice receive!

Shir: Ohira-san.

Leon: Got it!

Sae: It wasn't Ushiwaka this time?

Shima: I'm sure they'd worry about his stamina if it was every time.

Tsu: Ready, and...

Tsu: Tch.

Nish: Feint!

Sawa: Sorry! It's going—

Ten: Victory!

Ten: Yeah!

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Ushi: Not yet. We still need two points.

Ten: Just how righteous are you?

Taki: This puts Ushiwaka on the back line...

Aki: But...

Aki: that means he gets to serve.

Swa: It's mine!

Sawa: Get the last one over!

Nish: Ryu!

Tana: Got it!

Gosh: Chance ball!

Ten: Gimme!

Kage: Where is he—

Kage: A dump?!

Nish: Damn it!

Sign: Be Courageous Warriors

Crowd: Nice k*ll, Shirabu!

Crowd: Shirabu! Shirabu!

Shir: Depending on Ushijima-san

Shir: isn't my only job.

Guy: All right!

Semi: Not bad...

Guy: Nice job, Shirabu!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Tsu: Sorry. It would have been better if I hadn't touched it.

Nish: Nah, I wouldn't have been able to get that either way.

Sawa: This isn't where we relax!

Kara: Right!

Taki: They got the set point first!

Yach: Is something wrong?

Aki: I was just thinking that Kei was acting a little weird.

Aki: I might just be imagining it.

Yach: His eyes seem much more lively than usual.

Aki: Does Kei actually have friends at school besides Tadashi?

Sawa: Out?

Sawa: No...

Asa: Cover!

Tana: Left!

Tsuk: Tanaka-san!

Nish: Three blockers!

Aki: A block out!

Taki: Nice!

Sae: Nice, Ryu!

Shim: And now, it's a deuce.

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Hina: All right!

Suga: We're counting on you, Hinata!

Suga: Make sure you get them back for all the times you got hit!

Tsuk: Hey.

Sae: Now Suga-chan can't come in anymore this time, right?

Shim: Yeah.

Shim: There's a rule where the same player can't be switched twice within the same set.

Taki: But we got through Ushiwaka's serve.

Taki: Now we amp up our attack power with Hinata on the front line.

Taki: Karasuno definitely has the upper hand.

Sawa: Tsukishima, nice serve!

Hina: One touch!

Tsu: Hey.

Tsu: If my serve is cleanly received,

Tsu: there's a good chance of them doing a quick.

Tsu: Try jumping as high as you can against their # .

Tsu: Chance ball!

Hina: Bring it!

Tana: Give it to me!

Kara: All right!

Gosh: A return dump...

Suga: Man, people who hate to lose can be scary.

It's not good for my heart.

Yama: Nice, Kageyama!

Tsu: Yeah, great job, King.

Hina: Tsukishima!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Sae: All right! They got it back!

Shim: Now it's set point!

Yachi: Karasuno, fight!

Take: I'm sure this is extremely obvious,

Take: but it truly is hard to score

more than one point in a row.

Kei: Well, this game was designed

so that each side has equal chances to attack.

Kei: Not to mention, when we get into the last part of the set,

Kei: each side gets that much more eager to win.

Kei: But...

Kei: Each side has to start scraping away

at their opponent's sharpened defense.

Kei: Even with pure height and power,

Kei: their persistence, their ability to connect,

Kei: and, to some extent, the calmness and stamina to maintain teamwork...

Kei: In order to win, they need the tremendous amount of energy

Kei: required to score two points in a row.

Aki: They're still serving strong like it's natural for them.

Aki: That's to be expected from them.

Azu: Sorry, it's long!

Swa: Kageyama, push it over!

Gosh: Got it!

Yama: Nice, Tsutomu!

Nish: Chance ball!

Ten: He's...

Shir: Is he going to feint?

Yama: He's going over there?

Tana: There's...

Tana: . blockers!

Kara: All right!

Ten: He sure is a first-class decoy, damn it...

Hina: All right!

Sawa: Tanaka, nice k*ll!

Shir: Did he set to their # because he knew

our eyes would be on their # ?

Tana: Nice toss, Kageyama!

Kage: Actually, it was a little early... I'm sorry.

Tana: You sure are hard on yourself.

Tsuk: It really does piss people off when Hinata is

scuttling around in front of you.

Tsuk: Get as wild as you can,

Tsuk: you weirdo duo.

Wash: You fools!

Wash: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Yach: Shiratorizawa's taking their first time out!

Sai: It's true that they're different from anyone we've faced so far.

Crowd: Shiratorizawa!

Sai: But there's no reason for us to panic.

Sai: We just have to score points like we usually do.

Crowd: Shiratorizawa!

Crowd: Shiratorizawa!

Sai: Anyway, make sure to break their streak!

All: Right!

Crowd: Shiratorizawa!

Guy: Man... When I saw the first set,

I thought it'd be an easy win for Shiratorizawa, but...

Guy: I guess they're what you call a dark horse?

Guy: But Karasuno's a former powerhouse school, too.

Guy: Well, yeah. They've got Nishinoya from Chidoriyama,

Guy: Kageyama from Kita-Ichi, and Azumane from Seikodai.

Guy: They've got quite the lineup.

Kei: Even if it gets rough, or you start panicking,

don't let your guard down!

Shira: All right!

Yach: They can't seem to get those last two points...

Aki: I'm pretty sure both sides are thinking that.

Aki: However, if Karasuno loses this set,

they're gonna be done.

Aki: We're counting on you...

Ten: We're counting on you, Eita-kun.

Smi: Right!

Shir: Semi-san!

Shir: Semi! Get a nice serve in!

Take: So Shiratorizawa is using their pinch server.

Leon: Nice serve, Eita!

Azu: Sorry!

Tana: Daichi-san!

Semi: Above you, Shirabu!

Shir: Right!

Shir: Semi-san!

Semi: Come on, Tsutomu!

Gosh: Right!

Shira: All right!

Ten: Break!

Ten: Yeah!

Crowd: Nice k*ll, Goshiki!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Azu: Come to think of it, I guess he was a setter.

Sawa: Concentrate!

Both: Right!

Leon: Nice serve!

Azu: Daichi!

Sawa: Damn it! It's short!

Shir: All right. It's off.

Shir: Huh?!

Kara: All right!

Ten: A quick there?! You guys are seriously messed up!

Yach: Hinata, nice k*ll!

Aki: Looks like logic doesn't work on this side either.

Semi: Who does Karasuno's setter think he is?

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Suga: Tanaka, nice serve!

Yama: Got it!

Suga: Come on, break... Break through!

Goshi: Left!

Guy: All right!

Leoon: Wakatoshi!

Yama: Three blockers!

Guy: Damn! It looks like that libero's getting the hang of it.

Guy: But Ushiwaka's still only using about % of his strength.

Guy: Would you be able to get those?

Guy: Not a chance.

Azu: Damn it!

Shir: All right!

Tana: Sorry! It was close to the net!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Suga: We're not done yet... We've only just begun!

Gosh: Shirabu-san, nice serve!

Nish: Got it!

Kge: Nice receive!

Sawa: Right!

Kara: All right!

Yama: sh*t!

Sug: Nice, Daichi!

Sug: Yes!

Tsuk: There's no way that I can beat Ushiwaka.

Tsuk: Our bodies are different. Our experience is different.

Tsuk: The time we've given volleyball is different.

Tsuk: There's no way that I can beat him.

Tsuk: But...

Shim: I was hoping they could break through

: while they still had Hinata as a decoy.

Taki: Hinata looks so anxious on the back line.

Taki: He sucks at both serving and digs...

Tana: Hinata, nice serve!

Hina: Right!

Tsuk: If their # 's guess blocking

is either points or points,

Tsuk: I'd say read blocking stays at about an average of points.

Tsuk: Well, our blocks definitely need more work,

Tsuk: but maybe it looks cooler to bystanders

Sawa: Nice serve!

when people go for the points.

Tsuk: We can't let the opponent setter feel the pleasure or accomplishment

Tsuk: of overcoming our blocks.

Yama: Got it!

Tsuk: Persistently, begrudgingly,

Shira: Nice receive!

yet nimbly, and absolutely...

Tsuk: They won't get through easily.

Tsuk: Continue pressuring them and piling on stress.

Tsuk: One touch!

Kei: Connect!

Sawa: Hit! Hit!

Leon: Nice, Tachi!

Azu: Got it!

Kage: You suck at serving, you suck at receiving,

Kage: and your setting and blocking are below average.

Kage: Then what are you doing on the court?

Kage: You score points!

Kara: All right!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Yama: Break!

Suga: A back attack with minus tempo.

Yama: Great job, Hinata!

Suga: He's gotten even faster after that time Oikawa stopped him.

Ten: Taichi! Don't just stand there!

Kawa: Nah, that one was impossible.

Azu: Nice one touch!

Sawa: Hinata, one more! Nice serve!

Tsuk: If it weren't for Hinata's cover,

it would have just been blown away.

Azu: But if we didn't have that one touch,

we might have been done right then.

Ushi: Shirabu.

Ushi: Gather them to me.

Hina: Crap!

Gosh: Out? But if I judge wrong here, I'm going to be k*lled!

Hina: It went in!

Kage: It's off.

Gosh: I'm sorry!

Yama: Wakatoshi!

Sawa: We've got three.

Tsuk: Ready, and...

Shir: Nice k*ll, Ushijima!

Shir: Ushijima!

Shir: Ushijima!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Take: That was intense...

Take: It was like he changed the flow of the game with a single strike.

Sawa: Don't fall behind! We're going to keep going forward!

Kara: Right!

Sawa: That was intense.

Tana: All right!

All: Synchronized attack!

Sawa: We're definitely not losing when it comes to scoring points.

Sawa: Yeah!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Tana: Daichi-san, nice serve!

Shir: Ushijima-san!

Tsuk: Ready, and...

Shir: So persistent!

Azu: Return it! Return it!

Tana: Nice, Daichi-san!

Yama: Chance ball!

Shir: Open the way...

Shir: for our spiker!

Tsuk: I was waiting

Tsuk: for this fraying caused

Tsuk: by slight annoyance and panic.

Tsuk: There's no way that I can beat Ushiwaka.

Tsuk: But...

Tsuk: I'm planning on stopping at least a few of his spikes.

Crow: He stopped Ushiwaka?!

Crowd: Who is that guy?

Crowd: No idea!

Crowd: Amazing!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Crowd: They took back the second set!

Tsuk: It was just one block.

Tsuk: It was just one point out of .

Tsuk: This is just a club.

Boku: But once that moment arrives for you,

Boku: that's the moment you'll be hooked on volleyball.

Tsuk: All right!

Both: Tsukishima!

Tsuk: Ow!

Kage: Ushiwaka's spike just now...

Tana: Tsukshima, are you seriously Tsukishima? Did you seriously just seriously?

Kage: There wasn't a moment to spare in his run or his jump.

Kage: But the toss was probably a bit close to the net and low...

Kage: Tsukishima didn't let that escape him.

Kage: Or...

Kage: Was he waiting for that?

Suga: Sorry for saying something like we could still fight,

: even if we can't stop him with our blocks.

Yama: Huh?

Suga: You were making a weird face back then, Yamaguchi.

Yama: Huh?!

Yama: No, I was also thinking that Tsukki was definitely doing his part.

Yama: Despite how he looks, Tsukki hates losing,

Yama: so I figured he would probably do something.

Sawa: Tsukishima, nice block!

Azu: Great job stopping that!

Tsuk: I'm sure there were other blockers before that were at my level,

Tsuk: but I think that Nishinoya-san's receives

Tsuk: and that weirdo duo's attack that completely ignores their blocks

Tsuk: added pressure to their setter.

Azu: You were thinking about all that?

Swa: Scary... Tsukishima, you're scary.

Ak: I think that Kei might have been waiting this whole time for the timing

of Shiratorizawa's tosses to skew.

Sae: I can't believe he thought that far ahead.

Yachi: Tsukishima-kun is smart,

Yachi: so I believe that he's always

thinking about volleyball, as well as other things...

Aki: I'm sure he's pretty obstinate. Sorry about that.

Yah: Oh, no...

Yach: It's just that at that moment,

I think the only thing on Tsukishima-kun's mind was stopping that block.

Yachi: Just purely...

Yachi: Like he was solving a difficult test question.

Aki: Yeah.

Hina: Tsukishima!

Hina: That one point was worth points!

sass ,Sign: If you're a middle blocker,

sass ,Sign: you try it, too

Tsuk: Thanks.

Hina: What?!

Tana: Calm down, Hinata!

Tana: I'm sure he meant it as, "If you're a middle blocker, you try it, too,"

but calm down!

Tsuk: Please stop making such a fuss.

Tsuk: That was just a point.

Tsuk: The game's just getting starting.

All: Yeah!

Sae: Tsukki finally stopped Ushiwaka!

Bro: Kei usually doesn't show his emotions and is blunt,

Bro: but he actually works really hard, is kind, and is a really good boy.

Sae: Who are you, his mother?!
