03x09 - The Volleyball Freaks

[bunniefuu]

Sign: Shiratorizawa

Ushi: I haven't doubted once that we would win.

Ushi: But right now,

Ushi: I am completely sure

Ushi: that I want to crush you.

All: All right!

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

All: One more point! One more point!

One more point!

Title: Haikyu!!

Sign: Karasuno High School vs Shiratorizawa Academy

Sign: Episode : The Volleyball Idiots

Some: Go! One more!

Tsuk: Ugh, it hurts.

Tsuk: This seriously sucks.

Kuro: Don't come in feeling like a decoy.

Kuro: Stop, then jump up.

Kuro: Oh, by the way...

Kuro: Generally, when you're one-on-one with a spiker,

Kuro: rather than lining up with their bodies to block,

if you line up with their dominant hand...

Take: Being too comfortable can be scary.

Take: To think that the weirdo quick that we thought was unstoppable

Take: would be stopped...

Kuro: Yeah!

Boku: Damn it! One more time!

Tsuk: Did you just change which course you were going to close?

Aka: So you noticed? Not bad.

Boku: Tsukki! Jump some blocks for me! Okay?!

Kiyo: He's not just being calm. He's concentrating.

Kiyo: Not on how the match is going...

Kiyo: he's probably thinking about what he's going to do when he gets back.

Yama: Tsukki!

Guy: The glasses guy from Karasuno's back!

Guy: It's too late! It's all going to be over with one more point.

Old: It's not gonna end!

Kei: Tsukishima—

Tsuk: The bleeding has stopped.

Tsuk: They immobilized the part that was dislocated rock hard.

Tsuk: Because it was my pinky, it'll affect my play extremely little.

Kiyo: That basically sums it up.

Kei: To think a day would come

when he'd strongly express how much he wants to be in the game.

Sae: Is Kei okay?!

Yach: Um... He hurt his pinky, so they taped it to his ring finger and immobilized it,

Yach: and apparently he can continue playing.

Yach: But I'm pretty sure...

Yach: The pain hasn't stopped at all.

Hina: I bought you some time...

Hina: Though, to be honest,

Hina: Yamaguchi actually bought more time than me.

Tsuk: Well, thanks for your honesty.

Sign: Be Courageous Warriors

Bg: One more point! One more point! One more point!

Sawa: It's probably going to be a jump float serve.

Sawa: We need to move up our defenses.

Sawa: If we can stop them here, it'll be Asahi's turn to serve next.

Leon: Yunohama, nice serve!

Nish: Daichi-san!

Sawa: All right!

Leon: If they didn't have that guy, Karasuno's defense would be more full of holes.

Tana: Nice receive!

All: All right!

Kage: He read me.

Looks like that's probably not going to work anymore...

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Guy: A dump right there?!

Old: Good! Good! Though you guys are taking years off my life, damn it.

Nari: We're counting on you, Tsukishima.

Kei: Well done.

Kei: Being able to play like you normally do in this situation is impressive.

Nari: Right!

Tana: Tsukishima!

tana: Look at you, showing up like some hero, you jerk!

Tsuk: Um... about when we do a -person block...

Tana: Not phased one bit, are you?

Bg: Tsukishima!

Bg: We're counting on you!

Sae: All right.

Sae: Now both Tobio and Kei are back.

Sae: Now for the counterattack!

Swa: We're gonna get through this!

All: Yeah!

Tsuk: I doubt you would, but you don't need to hold back.

Kage: If you don't think I'm going to, then don't say it. And I won't.

Ush: Shirabu.

Ush: You remember our promise, don't you?

Ush: Will you be able to use me mercilessly in any situation?

Shir: Yes!

Shim: Serving toward the end while being at a disadvantage...

Shim: I really hate this!

Taki: Come on, please! Make this...

Kei: Don't be on your guard! Give it all you've got!

Suga: Give it everything you've got, Asahi!

Azu: To think that the fact that no one's looking this way would be so reassuring...

Tana: All right! Bring it!

Leon: Yes!

Coa: Yes! Yes!

Ten: Give it to me!

Sae: Again?!

Ten: Go! Wakatoshi-kun!

Kiyo: His right hand!

Tsuk: This is so stupid...

Tsuk: I'm not Hinata.

Tsuk: To think that I actually want to fight until the end...

Tsuk: One touch!

Iwa: They managed to stop it again.

Oika: What happened to Four-Eyes?

Oika: At the first practice match,

I thought he was just a tall guy that was slightly intelligent.

Asa: Nice, Nishinoya!

Yama: Chance ball!

Shir: Ushijima-san!

Tsuk: Time difference from the right.

Tsuk: We're going to open it up!

Tsuk: Nishinoya-san's field of view.

Sawa: Nice receive!

Tana: I'm surprised he's able to make these decisions so quickly

and still be able to instruct others.

Tana: Asahi-san!

Yama: Tsutomu!

Yama: Nice! Get the last!

Tsuki: One more time...

Sawa: He's planning to hit it...

Both: Ushiwaka three times in a row!

Tsu: The top of the net...

Kei: Yes!

Take: This is our chance!

Tana: My legs are so friggin' heavy...

Tana: Don't give up, legs!

All: I'm going to hit it!

Hina: Tsukishima's doing a slide hit?!

Ten: He's faking!

Tsuk: He's figured me out...

But I managed to gain you a few seconds.

Suga: I-It's a break!

All: All right!

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Yach: We did it!

They're at a match point!

Shim: One more point, and they'll b*at Shiratorizawa!

Sae: I think they might just be able to do it!

Se: We've been pushing them ever since Kei came back!

Taki: Go, Karasuno!

Oika: I guess it's no surprise that Shiratorizawa took a timeout.

Iwa: Karasuno really is versatile.

Iwa: I've never seen Glasses do a slide hit... Even if he was just a decoy.

Oika: We can't easily abandon a near perfect time difference att*ck,

Oika: and Shiratorizawa's not going to change their style

of strengthening individual strengths.

Oik: That's why we're called powerhouse schools now.

Tana: Who would've ever thought you'd set us up like that!

Oika: But Karasuno probably doesn't have a style they need to protect.

Sawa: I'm so happy, Tsukishima!

Oika: They may have had one when they were a powerhouse school.

Kei: Hey, sit down and rest on the bench, even for a moment.

Oika: So they don't hesitate to try new things.

Oika: They even gave up that miracle-like quick immediately and made it new.

Oika: The old and dependable Shiratorizawa...

Oika: The new and reckless Karasuno...

Oika: Either one of them winning is going to piss me off,

Oika: so they should both lose.

Iwa: You really are a crappy guy.

Oika: Could you stop calling me a "crappy guy"?!

Iwa: Pick between that or a "shitty guy."

Oika: Well, then I guess I choose "crappy"!

Bg: Don't let up til the end!

Shima: I'm sure all of their legs are at their limits by now.

Shim: It's obvious for Ushiwaka, who's hit so many times,

Shim: but for Karasuno's offense,

they've done starting runs more than spikes.

Shim: That may look like a lot of needless movement,

Shim: but that's the primary factor

in how Karasuno's offense is prying through Shiratorizawa's blocks.

Shim: Since Tanaka, Azumane and Sawamura have been playing the whole time,

Shim: I'm sure they're beyond their limits by now.

Yama: Nishinoya-san, are you okay?

Nish: Yeah. I've been able to rest here and there, so...

Kei: Ushijima's scored about points.

Kei: He was able to score almost half the points all by himself.

Kei: Despite being thoroughly marked,

and a lot of the tosses being harder ones to hit...

Kei: I knew that...

I knew that, but...

Kei: Ushijima Wakatoshi is beyond impressive.

Shir: Ushijima-san.

Shir: When you said to get tosses up to you at any time,

Shir: you meant that for while you're still of use, right?

Semi: Wha?! Hey, I don't know what's going on, but how could you say that?

Ushi: That's right.

Ushi: Let's go.

Bg: Fire it up, fire it up, Karasuno! Get it, get it, Karasuno!

Sawa: If volleyball was a one-on-one sport,

we wouldn't be able to win against Shiratorizawa.

Sawa: We're smaller, and our individual att*ck strength falls short in comparison.

Sawa: But there are six of us on the court.

Sawa: If we win, it's not because a miracle happened.

Sawa: Our concept won't change until the very end!

Sawa: We're going to punch our way through!

All: Yeah!

Wash: We've done everything we can to this point.

Kiyo: Fight! Fight! Fight!

Kei: We've both used up all of our timeouts.

Swa: Let's end this thing!

Shir: Let's calm down and score that point.

kei: The next time you leave that court...

All: Yeah!

Both: ...return as victors!

Cm: Haikyu!! Karasuno High School vs Shiratorizawa Academy

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Sawa: Nice serve, Asahi!

Taki: Here comes that all-out serve again!

Shim: End it here. End it with this one!

Taki: Yes!

Yach: They did—

Yama: All right!

Guy: Such a waste!

Azu: Sorry!

Sawa: Don't mind!

Azu: The serve toss was fine,

but I was a little careless when stepping into the jump.

Take: And now,

Take: Ushijima-kun is serving.

Ush: Sorry.

Yama: Don't mind!

Wash: When we get back, you're gonna be serving times.

Taki: Neither side has any intention of putting their guard up.

Sae: That's lucky for us, but also a waste.

Sae: I mean, it's all for naught if they miss.

Shim: But just by hitting

a powerful serve itself becomes pressure for the other side.

Sae: Huh?

Shm: A jump serve is a very risky serve.

Shim: But a serve that's done by chance, or a serve that's guaranteed to go in...

Shim: It's not about picking that,

but a team that's able to complete a chance serve right now is a strong team.

Shim: A team that's able to choose to do a chance serve right now

Shim: is a team that can become stronger.

Shim: Of course, it's better if they don't miss,

and of course it's great if the other side misses,

Shim: but it's valuable just to take that chance,

Shim: as long as they're concerned.

Both: All right!

Gosh: Leon-san!

Hin: Don't jump at it. Don't jump at it.

Ten: Gimme!

Shir: Ushijima-san!

Hina: He's stopped!

Take: From above the block?!

All: All right!

Bg: Nice k*ll, Ushijima!

Kei: That wasn't about height, it was about timing.

Bg: Ushijima! Ushijima!

Kei: They jumped into that block a bit too early.

Kei: I'm sure the fact that everyone is so tired and panicked is a factor,

Kei: but more importantly,

Kei: there's Ushiwaka's mid-air form, which makes it look

as though he's floating...

Kei: If you have good form, it gives you more of an advantage mid-air.

Sae: What the hell?

Sae: Does stress or being out of stamina mean absolutely nothing to Ushiwaka?

Leo: He's definitely some kind of monster or mutant,

Leo: but the name we're the most satisfied with...

Leo: is that he's a "super volleyball idiot."

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

All: Nice serve!

Three: Bring it!

Az: Sorry, it's short!

Kage: It's plenty!

Tana: Bring it on!

Kage: Perfect!

All: All right!

Sai: It's rare to be so small and be such a main force.

Sai: He's almost like the Little Giant—

Wash: Bigger will always be stronger.

Wash: That is nature's logic.

Sawa: Nice serve, Kageyama!

Suga: Go, Kageyama!

Nice serve!

Yama: We're counting on you!

Kage: It's good...

All: This is it!

Kei: If we make this point, we win!

Nish: Chance ball!

Ten: Jump towards the direction that smells like satisfaction.

Wash: I...

Wash: With my forty years...

Wash: I want to deny you...

Wash: Karasuno's # .

Ten: I read it right!

All: All right!

B: Nice k*ll, Tendo!

Sign: Be Courageous Warriors

Bg: Tendo! Tendo!

Iwa: Karasuno's # is being a lot quieter than usual.

Oika: He's thinking.

Oika: He just got shut down on a deuce on the final set,

Oika: and since he can't waste time being sad, he's thinking about the next step.

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

Hina: Right!

Oika: How disgusting.

Kei: Please hold up...

Kei: We'll have a chance in the next rotation.

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Sawa: Go, Tanaka!

Tana: All right!

All: All right!

Yama: Yes! Just one more point!

Suga: Please! Make this one!

Tana: Here we go!

Gosh: Leon-san!

Leon: Got it!

All: All right!

Guy: He wasn't able to jump...

Guy: Looks like # 's legs are about done, too.

Hina: You jerk!

Tana: Forgive it, Hinata.

Sai: At this point, Karasuno is basically moving through sheer spirit.

Sai: Wakatoshi's on the front line now,

Sai: so this is our chance to break!

Shir: Here we go!

Wash: You want consecutive points so bad that you can almost taste them.

Wash: The moment you obtain them

Wash: is not always dramatic.

Sawa: I know...

Sawa: I know that it's going to fall right there,

Sawa: but my legs won't move...

Sawa: Nishinoya...

Suga: Nishinoya!

Kara: All right!

Swa: Nice k*ll, Asahi!

Sae: What the heck was that?!

Yach: Wow...

Swa: Thanks, Nishinoya!

Nish: Karasuno can depend on me!

Nish: But... There are things that I can't do, as well.

Nis: I know I'm asking for the impossible when I say this,

Nish: but even if your thighs were to split open,

I'm counting on you guys in the mid-air battles.

All: Right!

Hina: Yeah!

Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno

Nish: I'm counting on you!

Tsuk: Right.

Kei: We've basically used up all our options for switching out players.

Kei: But right now, the setter's on the back line,

Tana: Hinata, nice serve!

and there are three attackers in front.

Kei: Along with Hinata's super-fast back att*ck, there are two attackers.

Kei: This rotation is % a super att*ck-style rotation.

Kei: If you guys can find a chance to att*ck...

Kei: With Nishinoya out and Sawamura in front,

Kei: receiving is also really light on this rotation, too.

Kei: Everything is riding on the blocks.

Sign: Fly

Leon: Hayato!

Hina: It went in.

Kage: Hinata, change positions with me!

Shir: Time difference att*cks don't work against Four-Eyes...

Shir: Then we'll get through the center with sheer speed!

Azu: They're going for the center at a time like this?!

Shir: When you have a brilliant ace,

their very existence is a brilliant decoy!

Shr: Go, Taichi!

Lev: Hear me out, Tsukki!

Lev: Kuroo-san yelled at me to read block again.

Lev: But don't you think it feels better to be able

to shut out your opponent, whether it's by luck or intuition?

Tsuk: That does feel good,

Tsuk: but I hate the ball getting through even more.

Tsuk: If you go after the ball, even if your reaction is slightly behind,

Tsuk: the ball won't completely make it through.

Lev: That sounds like something you'd say.

Kuro: You probably think it's better if you look cool, don't you?

Kuro: You just don't get it.

This is the problem with you kids.

Lev: We're only two years apart!

Kuro: Listen up, brat!

Kuro: Read blocking is a block that consists of restraint and persistence, but it's also...

Kuro: The block where you laugh last.

Tsuk: One touch!

Yach: It almost seems like Tsukishima-kun's reacting faster than in the first half.

Old: The point of read blocking against a quick isn't always to stop the ball,

Old: but to touch it.

Old: Glasses kid has gotten through this whole time just by following the ball.

Old: It's no surprise that he's gotten used to it.

Kei: Chance ball!

Tana: There's no other...

Azu: ...choice...

Tsuk: ...but to...

Sawa: ...att*ck!

Hina: A minus tempo...

Hina: Back att*ck!

Tsuk: Go!

Kage: Hey, stop making your knees shake.

Hina: They're doing that on their own, so I don't have a choice!

Hina: You jerk!

Kage: You understand that since we came this far,

Hina: we can't let them take this chance!
