shimi: Oh, Hitoka-chan. Are you done changing?
shimi: I'll walk with you, so hold on a sec.
I'm going to go change, too.
yachi: No, it's okay.
I actually think I should be walking with you, or something, or...
shimi: Don't worry about it.
ukai: What's wrong, Sensei?
Why the serious face?
teach: Oh, well...
teach: Apparently, the bus we were supposed to take for the away games in Tokyo
teach: was booked by another club, so it doesn't look like we'll get it.
teach: It looks like it's going to cost us a lot more than expected,
teach: so I was trying to figure out what to do.
ukai: I'll try talking to a few more alumni.
ukai: I'm sure this problem'll come up again in the future.
teach: I apologize. I'll try reaching out, as well.
teach: Well, if all else fails, I do have some savings.
ukai: No, no, no. You need to save that for your future wedding, or something.
ukai: And don't do that with your hand!
hina: Yachi-san!
hina: Yachi-san, are you gonna be our manager?
yachi: Uh, um...
hina: You will, right?
both: Hey, first-year girl, hey!
nishi: We hope that you will join the Karasuno High School volleyball team.
yachi: Huh?
tana: When you're around, Kiyoko-san talks a lot.
dai: What kind of invitation is that, you idiots?!
suga: Sorry these guys are so stupid.
yachi: No, not at all!
yachi: Um... I'm flattered.
yachi: I've never tried to do something on my own,
yachi: or had someone need me for anything...
yachi: Even in drama club, I've only been an extra.
yachi: Like Townsperson B or a tree.
both: A tree?
yachi: So when Shimizu-senpai worked so hard to recruit a Townsperson B,
yachi: like me, who has no experience or knowledge of volleyball,
yachi: I was really happy.
yachi: But I'm sure I'm not much—
tana: I totally get how you feel.
tana: Even if Kiyoko-san said,
shimi: "I'm going to steal money from you, so follow me."
tana: I'd still follow her.
nishi: You're so manly, Ryu!
yach: Uh, I think that's a bit different.
hina: That sounds sorta awesome!
azu: Looks like Tanaka's saying something again.
hina: Oh, that reminds me...
sign: From: Kozume Kenma Subject: None We made it through the first round. This week is round two of prelims.
nishi: Damn! Nekoma's so awesome!
tana: I'm getting fired up!
Team: Haikyu!!
Episode Townsperson B
mom: Hitoka.
mom: I've got to go to one more meeting, so I'm going to be home late.
yachi: Okay. See you later, Mom.
mom: Make sure you clean up over here.
yachi: Okay.
mom: Hm? What's this?
sign: Karasuno High School Boys' Volleyball Club Members and Manager Seeking Members!! Please Contact Shimizu Kiyoko in Class -
yachi: Oh, well...
yachi: I was invited to be a manager for the boys' volleyball team.
mom: Volleyball?
yachi: Yeah...
mom: Oh, I'll be right there. Just a moment.
guy: Yes, ma'am.
mom: Didn't Karasuno's volleyball team make it to nationals before?
mom: It's a strong school, right?
yachi: Yes.
yachi: Apparently they're getting strong again.
guy: The taxi's here.
mom: Do you even know anything about volleyball?
yachi: Well, I plan on learning more about it.
mom: That's fine and all,
but joining passionate people when you aren't going to give it your all
mom: is the rudest thing you could do.
mom: I'm counting on you to make breakfast tomorrow.
yachi: Oh, right...
guy: Senpai, why did you have to say it like that?
guy: You're so cold.
mom: I-I didn't mean it like that!
guy: You're probably the reason why Hitoka-chan's a bit negative, Senpai.
mom: I just want her to be stronger!
mom: But if she's going to give up just because of what I said,
mom: she'll lose hope over even smaller things in the future, too.

shimi: Is something troubling you?
shimi: By the way, I did play sports,
shimi: but I had no prior experience with volleyball or being a manager.
shimi: I don't think everyone has to like something before giving it a try.
shimi: I don't think you need an unwavering will
or lofty motive just to get started.
shimi: Sometimes things that you start on a whim
end up becoming very important to you, too.
shimi: To get started, I think you just need a little bit of curiosity.
ukai: Hinata and Tsukishima.
hina: Yes!
tsuki: Yes.
ukai: Since you two are middle blockers,
suga: The floor's wet. Could I get the mop?
you have to be able to use blocks as your w*apon.
yama: Yup. Where is it?
ukai: I need you to be so good at blocking, you could stop Ushiwaka.
suga: Right around here. Thanks.
ukai: Keep that in mind for today's practice match, too.
hina: Gotcha!
tsuki: Right...
tsuki: There's no way we could block Ushiwaka...
ukai: All right, get back to practice.
hina: Right!
ukai: By the way, Sensei, how are their exams?
ukai: Especially with the four idiots.
takeda: Um...
shimi: Ouginishi will arrive in four and a half hours.
all: Right!
shimi: All right, Hitoka-chan.
Would you line up some chairs around the court there?
shimi: Let's see... Eight of them.
yachi: Uh, right!
shimi: If they're heavy, one at a time is fine.
tana: Kiyoko-san is smiling.
yachi: I-I'm fine.
nishi: The world is at peace yet again today.
hina: Want some help?
yachi: No, it's fine. You do your own thing.
hina: Okay!
hina: I'm not gonna lose today!
yachi: Um... Today's match is a practice match, right?
hina: Yup.
yachi: Um... I was wondering why you can study so hard to play in away games
yachi: and get so fired up for a practice game.
hina: Huh? Because I want to get stronger and win.
yachi: I-I see...
yachi: I'm sure you have your reasons.
hina: Huh? Reasons?
hina: Reasons why I wanna win?
yachi: Oh. Yeah...
hina: Do you need a reason not to want to lose?
hina: Hey, Kageyama.
Is there a reason you don't want to lose?
kage: Wha? How would I know?
kage: Is there a reason you want to eat when you're hungry?
hina: Right? Hmm...
yachi: So this on the same level as hunger?
yachi: Sorry... that was an inane question.
both: "Inane question"?
tsuki: "A foolish question, or a comment said to abase oneself after asking such a question."
We just went over it the other day!
team: Thank you for having us!
sawa: Gather round!
team: Right!
shimi: All right. We're going to line up, too.
yachi: Okay!
yachi: Whoa...
yachi: Everyone's big over there, too.
hina: Do you need a reason not to want to lose?
shimi: I don't think you need an unwavering will
or lofty motive just to get started.
suga: Move back a bit, Hinata.
hina: Oh, right.
sawa: Bow!
both: Let's play!
Haikyu!!

shira jersey,jacket: Ouginishi High School Volleyball Club
coach: and had a deuce with them until their scores got into the s.
person: Seriously?!
person: Oh, but they do have Nishinoya from Chidoriyama
and Kageyama from Kitagawa Daiichi, right?
coach: They do, but...
person: Senpai?
coach: Their # , especially...
Karasuno's center is a first-year with impressive physical abililty.
coach: Sometimes, his presence changes the game to an astonishing extent.
coach: It appears that Karasuno's transforming.
teach: Thank you for coming so far!

karasu: Nice k*ll!
ougi: Nice k*ll!

suga: Hinata, that's backwards.
tana: Like Jamila.
shimi: Sorry, you'll have to get used to this.
nishi: Asahi-san, that string in your hair is awesome!
azu: String?
azu: It's a hairband.
Well, I guess I feel confident if you say that, Nishinoya.
sawa: Straighten up!
tana: Trying to change your image, Asahi-san?
azu: No, the other day...
azu: What is it, Shimizu?
shimi: Azumane, you hair braid is so tight it makes me think you'll go bald.
azu: That's why...
tana: I need to be careful, too.
yama: There are some hot bald guys, though.
tana: I'm not bald!
tsuk: Aren't you going to get into your uniform, Tanaka-san?
tana: I'm about to!
yachi: A flock of birds...
shimi: A flock... True, they are crows.
shimi: But once the game starts, they actually get along great.
sawa: Gather round!
coach: This is our first match with another team since the Inter-High prelims.
coach: You haven't forgotten your frustrations from then, have you?
team: Right!
coach: All right, go out there and raise some hell!
team: Right!
sawa: Karasuno, fight!
all: Yeah!
cap: Here we go!
all: Yeah!

yachi: I'm only watching, and yet, I, I...
hina: Did you feel overwhelmed?!
yachi: Yeah, I did!
hina: Then be our manager!
yachi: Huh? Um, uh...
tsuki: His conversations usually don't make any sense.
hina: Do it, Yachi-san!
Mom: Joining passionate people when you aren't going to give it your all
mom: is the rudest thing you could do.
yachi: For an amazing team like this,
a Townsperson B like me with no knowledge of sports
is just going to get in the way.
hina: Come to think of it, I played Townsperson B, too.
yachi: Huh?
hina: But I tried to stand out more than the lead and I got in trouble.
kage: Townsperson B... Ha.
hina: Hey, don't make fun of me, you jerk!
hina: Townsperson B has its own kind of awesomeness!
kage: I see.
hina: Then what kind of role did you play, Kageyama?
kage: The moon.
tsuki: Is that even needed?
hina: Damn, that's cool!
yachi: "Townsperson B has its own kind of awesomeness."
azu: I've played a horse before.
sawa/suga: A horse?!
hina: Man, you're a lifesaver!
hina: Yachi-san, thanks for helping us study on a Saturday!
kage: Thanks.
yach: Sure. Let's do our best on the exam.
hina: Oh, thanks for having us.
mom: No problem. Was she a good teacher?
hina: Yeah!
I'm gonna ace that exam for sure now! I think!
yachi: You think?
hina: Or rather, I won't let Yachi-san's kindness go to waste!
kage: Kindness... "To have a caring heart."
"A term used to express a caring attitude one has for another."
yachi: Oh, the definition of the word we studied earlier.
mom: I see. Good luck on your exam.
hina: Thanks!
hina: Let's go to Tokyo together, Yachi-san!
yachi: Huh? R-Right...
yachi: I haven't even explained anything to my mom yet!
hina: See you next week!
yachi: B-Bye-bye...
mom: Hitoka, what's this about away games in Tokyo?
yachi: W-Well, um, uh...
guy: Oh, I'm sorry I'm late. Let's go.
mom: All right, I'm heading to a meeting.
mom: I'll be back late again tonight.
yachi: Oh, right.
mom: Okay, let's go.
guy: Huh? Uh, wait, Senpai.
Weren't you trying to say something, Hitoka-chan?
guy: Are you okay?
yachi: No, it's nothing.
Go ahead.
uy: Okay... See you later.
Yup.
guy: Come on, Senpai...
hina: Yachi-san's notes are so awesome!
Notes should always be like this.
hina: If Yachi-san joins, we'll have two managers.
hina: We totally sound like a champion school.
kage: Yeah.
hina: What? You don't want her to join?
kage: That's totally up to her.
hina: You never agree with anything.
You're not very popular, are you?
kage: Mind your own business!
hina: Oh, crap! I forgot my textbook at Yachi-san's house!
hina: I'm gonna go back and get it.
See ya, Kageyama!
yachi: Here.

hina: Thanks, Yachi-san!
That was close!
I'm glad I realized it.
yachi: U-Um, Hinata-san... Do you have a sec?
hina: Sure.
hina: Huh?
You're not sure you want to join over something like that?
hina: I've hit Kageyama in the back of the head with a serve,
hina: thrown up on Tanaka-san's lap,
hina: and accidentally knocked the vice principal's toupee off,
hina: but I'm still playing volleyball just fine!
yachi: Would you really say you were fine, then?
hina: But you want to do this, right, Yachi-san?
yachi: Y-Yes...
hina: Then you totally should!
yachi: Right.
hina: Is what your mom said bothering you?
yachi: Uh, um, no...
It's just that, um...
hina: Then why don't you tell her?
hina: She went to the station, right?
yachi: Y-Yeah...
yachi: What is this?!
I feel like I'm in some shojo manga!
yachi: Wow, he's fast! He runs so fast!
yachi: Wait...
hina: Yachi-san, at this rate, you can't move forward.
hina: If you want to do this, you need to tell her.
yachi: Whether I want to join the volleyball club or not,
yachi: at this rate, I'll never be able to change from my worthless self.
yachi: I have to say it with my own mouth.
yachi: Yeah... I have to say it.
yachhi: Thanks, Hinata.
