03x05 - One vs. Many

[bunniefuu]

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.

Tsuk: All right!

Title: Haikyu!!

Sign: Karasuno High School vs Shiratorizawa Academy

Sign: Episode : Individual VS Numbers

Shira: Shiratorizawa!

Shira: Shiratorizawa!

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Ten: He purposely cleared a way for the ball to go through.

Ten: He made Wakatoshi-kun think he could push it through,

Ten: and then he blocked it.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Ten: That damn little brat with the glasses...

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Ten: But still, we lost that set.

Ten: I'm more scared at the fact that Tanji-kun hasn't yelled at us yet.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Coach: Kenjiro.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Shira: Yes?

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Coach: Your expression tells me that you already know.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Ten: You alive, Kenjiro?

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Shir: If this was a practice match, I would have gotten a slap across the face.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Ten: Really?

Ten: I wouldn't say that toss was actually a mistake.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Stuff like this happens all the time.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Shir: This wasn't some simple mistake.

Shir: Shiratorizawa!

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Tana: Daichi-san, nice serve!

Leon: Cover!

Sawa: Don't mind! We're going to keep pushing through!

Kara: Right!

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Ten: Hup.

Take: It doesn't seem like Shiratorizawa's going to shatter at all.

Crowd: Nice k*ll, Tendo!

Kei: Yeah.

Shir: All right!

Kage: That setter...

Kage: Not only is he not letting the second set get to him,

Crowd: Tendo! Tendo!

Kag: but it seems like his eyes are more focused than ever.

Shir: That attack made me dizzy.

Shir: And I look up to setters who play elegantly.

Shir: But...

All: All right!

Guy: Shirabu, your tosses are as sharp as ever today.

Shir: Right.

equip,Sgn: Miyagi Prefectural Junior High All-Around Sports Competition Boys' Volleyball

Shir: Our team was pretty strong,

Sign: Shiratorizawa Kitagawa Daichi

Shir: but in the end,

it was often these two schools fighting to get one step higher.

Shir: Kitagawa Daichi were lacking in their physique,

Shir: but their strategies involved skills using speed and combinations,

and they looked elegant.

Shir: To a setter like me, Oikawa definitely seemed like a monster,

Shir: and yet I thought...

Shir: That the height and power that could stop any skilled teamwork,

Shir: or attacks involving a handful of people,

Shir: were the coolest things of all.

Shir: I want to be able to fight like that.

Shir: Where, if all else failed, we could win with just an open toss.

Shir: That would be volleyball without the setter needing to control everything.

Shira: I'm going to Shiratorizawa.

Guy: Huh?

Shira: I'm going to go play some powerful volleyball

Shira: where other powerful people will also gather.

Shira: For me, the coolest form of volleyball

Shir: is this.

Shir: I will become the setter that stands out the least.

Shir: Karasuno

Shir: All right!

Tana: Damn it...

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Sawa: Next! We'll get the next one!

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Azu: Are you all right, Nishinoya?

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Nish: There's no getting around the fact that the bigger you are,

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

the greater your advantage is in volleyball.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Nish: And right now, there's no one bigger than him.

Gosh: Just one more set!

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Nish: But that means nothing to a libero.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Nish: The only one that's equal to him

is me.

Guy: All right, here we go!

Sign: Be Courageous Warriors

All: All right, here we go!

Guy: All right, here we go!

All: All right, here we go!

Crow: Karasuno High School!

ushi: Since you were able to move like that,

ushi: I thought that you'd be good at receiving and blocking, too.

Ushi: You can't fight with height,

Ushi: so what can you possibly do if your technique is clumsy, too?

Yach: "Clumsy: Immature and lacking. Bad at something. Not skilled." Okay?

Hina: Okay!

Kage: Hey, stop dawdling!

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Hina: You and Ushiwaka are somehow alike.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Kage: Yeah?

Kage: Well... I want to eventually be able to hit spikes like that, too.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Hina: That's not what I meant.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Kei: All right, have a seat. Rest while you can.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Kei: I'm sure you're finally getting used to both the finals

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

and Shiratorizawa's cannon.

Kei: What you're doing is technically not wrong.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Kei: Don't get confused.

Bg: Shiratorizawa!

Kei: I know you're probably tired, but always remember to keep your blocks together.

Kei: With scattered blocks, you won't just be unable stop the spike,

Kei: but you'll get in the way of the receiver, too.

Kei: With both offense and defense,

Kei: using your numbers to create an advantage will lead to victory.

Kei: Don't forget that.

Kara: Right!

Sign: Be Courageous Warriors

Sign: Fly

Tsuk: Azumane-san.

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Yama: Tsutomu, nice serve!

Gosh: I'm on a roll right now.

Gosh: I'm gonna do this in one shot!

Tana: Out!

Ten: Home run!

Tana: Lucky! Lucky!

Yama: Leon!

Gosh: Nice receive!

Tsuk: This is clearly Ushiwaka's winning pattern.

Tsuk: He's going to smash it from above, we're going to get blown away,

Tsuk: or if we're lucky, we'll get a one touch.

Tsuk: Or...

Tsuk: If Ushiwaka comes in fast from the right and attacks,

Tsuk: if you and I both block,

Tsuk: let's tighten up the cross side

Tsuk: a little more.

Tsuk: We won't be able to narrow the course as much as a three-person block,

Tsuk: but while we're tightening the cross...

Tsuk: the guardian field of view becomes clearer.

Tsuk: The only one equal to Ushiwaka...

Nish: ...is me.

Nish: I can't let us keep losing!

Nish: All right!

Tsuk: Nice receive!

Both: All right!

Both: Yeah!

Wash: Tsutomu!

Wash: If you keep standing in half-assed places,

Wash: you won't be able to dig or follow up with a one touch!

Gosh: Yes, sir!

Goshh: Coach is quieter than usual, but he's not holding back on me at all.

Leon: Why do you think you get yelled at the most?

Gosh: Because I lack discipline!

Leon: Because he's counting on you the most.

Gosh: Huh?

Gosh: All right, bring it!

Yama: He's way too simple-minded!

Leon: But what I said is true.

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Team: All right!

Ten: You're too slow.

Ten: Blocking is all about reading and your sense of smell.

Tsuk: Blocking is systematic.

Sawa: Hinata!

Shir: Goshiki!

Kage: It's the guy who does the super-sharp straights,

Kage: so we'll tighten up for a straight!

Kei: Yes! Hinata's fast!

Kage: He hit the outside?!

Shir: All right!

Taki: He went through there?!

Ten: That was totally luck, wasn't it?

Gosh: Luck? No way...

Gosh: You're only an ace if you're able to create miracles.

Ten: Stop trying to make it sound cool!

Sawa: All right. That shot was amazing.

It was amazing, but...

Sawa: That just means we have to use another method to get a point.

All: Yeah!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Shir: Nice receive!

All: All right!

Suga: Use your numbers to your advantage!

Suga: Go! Synchronized attack!

Kawa: Oh, here it comes.

That annoying attack.

Kawa: But...

Yach: The synchronized attack was...

stopped.

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Guy: Nice k*ll, Kawanishi!

Sign: Be Courageous Warriors

All: Kawanishi!

All: Kawanishi!

Taki: That # confirmed

that Sawamura's stance didn't completely go back,

Taki: and instantaneously threw out the possibility of an attack on the right.

Shim: It wasn't certain that they wouldn't attack on the right,

Shim: but the chances of them forcefully going toward the right were low.

Old: If only you'd thought about all that in the past.

All: Hello!

Old: You guys always seemed to go for the ball without giving it any thought.

Taki: W-We were doing what we could!

Taki: With single plays like doing strong spikes or getting serves through!

Sae: It's their old, super scary coach.

Sae: That's Ukai-kun's grandpa.

Old: There we go.

Old: Looks like Washio-sensei's got a pretty good lineup, as usual.

Wash: Karasuno...

Wash: If all of them didn't come in for the attack,

Wash: one of them might have been able to follow up with a block.

Coac: Right.

Wash: The strategies of our two teams are completely different,

Wash: but we both are alike in that we like to score points by force.

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

All: All right!

Wash: This is a battle between concepts.

Wash: It's always been like that with Ukai.

Wash: This is the perfect opportunity

Wash: to see which of our groups of high school students

Wash: is currently stronger.

Tana: Daichi-san, nice serve!

Kei: If Ushiwaka is not participating in the serve and receives,

Kei: we just have to restrict everything to the left.

Yama: Leon!

Shir: Nice receive!

Kei: And then have Ushiwaka

Kei: hit as much as possible!

Tsuk: We're going to stop him!

Yachi: I've seen Tsukishima-kun look annoyed before,

Yachi: but seeing him look frustrated is pretty new.

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Kara: All right!

Kei: Yes! It's off!

Tsuk: Here we go.

Tuki: Ready, and...

Kei: If the perfect toss goes up to Ushiwaka, and he completely plows one through,

Kei: there's nothing that we can do.

Kei: We'll just have to do whatever we can to stop the rest.

Kei: We'll have the center back's defense go one step back,

Kei: if we're able to stick two or more blockers on Ushiwaka.

Hina: The thing that Kinoshita-san did in the Wakunan match!

Kei: That's it!

Kei: Because our blocks with Tsukishima as the center are holding up more than we thought,

Kei: we should definitely give this a try.

Kei: It's merely one step...

But it's still a step.

Kei: Don't let it end with Hinata or Tanaka, whose reflexes are fast, picking it up.

Kei: Get one that's not a miracle.

Azu: Daichi!

Sawa: Got it!

Sawa: Tanaka, get the last!

Leon: Get back! Get back!

Ten: Nope!

Tana: What?!

Crow: He stopped it!

Ten: Miracle boy,

Ten: Sa-to-ri!

Sae: Damn it!

Shima: He was seriously able to stop that spike without knowing where it would go?

Leon: Good job stopping that.

Ten: He had no time to look for a block, standing like that.

Ten: And spikers frequently end up looking at the spot they're planning to spike.

Leon: So that's how he was able to determine where the ball would go.

Leon: Which means, their # was going to hit where he had planned,

Tana: I'm sorry!

regardless of where he was standing.

Sawa: Don't mind!

Tsuk: That block was pretty amazing.

Tana: Yes, it was!

Old: That's just fine,

Old: if they're able to do those high-level things without a doubt.

Old: But their opponents are called champions

Old: because it's going to take more than that to win.

Leon: Wakatoshi, nice serve!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Azu: Sorry!

Suga: What?

Suga: Is he Mr. Perfect?

Is Ushiwaka-kun Mr. Friggin' Perfect?!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Leon: One more!

Tana: Cover!

Kage: I'm not going to let them get

Kage: any more of a lead!

Tsuk: The block's low!

Kara: All right!

Hina: Right!

Tsuk: Hey.

Tsuk: If you don't score any points when you're on the front line,

Tsuk: nothing's gonna start.

Hina: Got it!

Suga: Come to think of it,

didn't Ushiwaka say something to Hinata in between the sets?

Yama: Oh, yes.

Hina: "A shrimp that sucks like you has no reason to live."

Yama: Apparently.

Suga: Seriously?! Are you sure he didn't imagine some of that?

Yama: That's what I thought, too, but apparently that's what he meant.

Suga: I wonder what Hinata's going to do after being told that...

Enn: Should you be laughing at that?

Suga: Well, I mean,

Suga: if his heart was going to break after being told something like that,

Suga: he wouldn't be here right now.

Suga: A good spot!

Gosh: Sorry! It's short!

Shira: Ohira-san!

Ushi: You can't fight with height,

Ushi: so what can you possibly do if your technique is clumsy, too?

Hina: Damn it!

I'm so jealous that he's so tall!

Hina: I'm jealous, but...

Kei: It's a block, but it's almost like...

Kei: He's doing an approaching run for a spike!

Old: The approaching run...

Old: gives you man-made wings.

Sign: Fly

Guy: He stopped it!

Hina: I'm jealous, but...

Hina: I never said that I wasn't going to fight with height!

Guy: Karasuno made a break!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Yoko: Hey, hey, hey!

Yoko: That little # finally did a decent block!

Guy: Yeah, well... that # 's plays are erratic,

Guy: so it might have just been luck.

Guy: Why are they talking like they know each other?

Yoko: But if that wasn't luck,

Yoko: this match is going to change.

Suga: Nishinoya.

Sae: I've fallen for Shoyo again!

He should just do that every time!

Shima: No, no, no. An approaching run like that

Shima: won't be able to handle fast attacks.

Taki: Not to mention, it'll wear down his stamina.

Taki: Middle blockers jump everywhere to begin with,

Taki: and Hinata's already been moving around a lot.

Shima: You were always trying to figure out how you were going to be lazy.

Taki: Yup!

Old: I've got no complaints if you were actually able to successfully be lazy.

Shira: Ohira-san!

Hina: One more time...

Both: Of course!

Hina: I'm so sorry!

Sawa: Don't mind.

Kage: Think about how fast you're going, you dumbass!

Nish: Shoyo, this is from Ukai-san.

Nish: The ideal jump is to jump straight up,

Nish: but for now, he said you can go to the sides, too.

Nish: In return...

Both: We'll support both sides.

Tana: Yeah.

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Hina: My timing's slow! Then there's no point!

Leon: Hit it directly!

Old: If you successfully be lazy, there's no problem.

Old: But, with Shrimpy...

Old: his only choice is to jump.

All: All right!

Tana: Hinata, nice k*ll!

Iwa: Oh. You're here, too.

Iwa: You said that you weren't going to come because it'd piss you off, no matter who won.

Oi: No matter which side wins,

I'm gonna be able to see the other team's faces when they lose.

Iwa: You really are a piece of crap.

Oika: I don't have time to sit around feeling sorry for myself.

Iwa: I see that their # sure is moving around a lot, like always.

Oika: He's definitely some kind of monster.

Oika: However, it sure must be rough

having to stick around that monster.

Sawa: Sorry!

Azu: Tanaka!

Tana: Right!

All: All right!

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Sawa: Tsukishima, nice serve!

Hina: The top of the jump! The top of the jump!

The top of the...

Hina: jump!

Azu: Front! Up front!

Tana: Left!

Ten: One touch!

Gosh: Chance ball!

Ten: Wakatoshi-kun!

Tana: Come on, Hinata.

Tana: I'll... support you!

Hina: One touch!

Azu: Got it!

Kage: Don't you dare get worn out!

Hina: Shut up!

Ten: He's going to the opposite side from there?

Ten: Damn it.

Ara: All right!

Kei: Tanaka! Great job supporting him!

Tana: It's a senpai's job

Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Yachi: Karasuno got a break!

Yama: Hinata, nice one touch!

Coah: After a reckless synchronized attack...

Coach: Karasuno sure likes to do some risky things.

Wash: New, tricky skills and combo plays...

Wash: Then...

Wash: Let's stomp those out with the individual strengths that we've sharpened for so long.

Kei: An individual's physical abilities, height, and power...

Kei: If those were the only things to prove one's strength,

this match would be much simpler.

Kei: But it's because that's not the case,

Kei: that this is so deep and so interesting.

Tsuk: Tch...

Tch...

Tch...

Hina: Tsukishima, you're clicking your tongue a lot more than usual.

You sound like a clock.

Kage: A clock? What does tongue clicking have to do with clocks?

Tsuk: Hey, concentrate on the match.
