02x05 - Greed

[bunniefuu]

sawa: Gather round!

ukai: Our first game today is with Nekoma.

ukai: How did we do yesterday?

shimi: This will be our third set overall with Nekoma.

shimi: Yesterday, we played two sets with them.

shimi: The scores were - and - , both our losses.

ukai: Simply put, we haven't won a single set.

ukai: But if we calm down and go out there in full force,

ukai: they should be opponents we can fight on equal footing.

ukai: Hinata and Kageyama, this is your first Nekoma set in a while, isn't it?

ukai: Go show 'em what you've got.

both: Right!

person: Okay, we're good to go.

yaku: Nice serve, Fukunaga!

lev: I'll be the first one to stop your quick tomorrow, Hinata.

hina: Come on! Bring it!

booze,bottle: Tenchu

sae: I drank way too much with the teachers last night.

sae: What time is it?

tana: Nice receive!

kara: All right!

lev: Damn it... That's amazing.

yama: Don't mind, Lev!

That was close.

lev: Okay!

coach: So Karasuno's # really is closing his eyes when he hits the quick.

azu: One more, Tanaka! Nice serve!

coach: Yeah.

bg: Cover! Cover!

coach: Which means the truth behind that godly quick att*ck

is the setter's superior technique.

tana: Nice receive, Daichi-san!

kozu: He flew from A to C.

lev: All right!

yama: He actually did it!

take: H-He stopped it...

He stopped that quick att*ck so easily.

ukai: Well, Nekoma's always been

pretty good at reacting to that quick att*ck.

ukai: On top of that, that newbie middle blocker's height

and quick reaction time are amazing.

yama: Nice serve, Kenma!

kage: Hey, I'm gonna add in more normal quicks.

kage: The floaty ones.

kage: Hey, are you listening?

hina: Yeah...

kenma: Lev.

kenma: They're probably going to start using a lot of normal quicks,

kenma: so please switch over to read blocks.

lev: What's a read block again?

kenma: It's when you see where the toss is going to go, then jump up and block.

lev: Ah, okay.

yama: Nice serve!

nishi: Ryu!

tana: Got it!

ken: It's when you see where the toss is going to go...

lev: One touch!

yama: I thought he was totally being lured by Hinata.

suga: Even though it was a bit late, his block is still high.

yaku: Chance ball!

sawa: These guys...

neko: All right!

kage: Damn it!

chalkboard ,sign: Karasuno Nekoma

ukai: Now, calm down.

ukai: They already had a careful eye on our quicks.

ukai: For the time being, when we're up against Nekoma,

ukai: let's mainly have Azumane and Tanaka attacking from the left.

kage: Right.

azu: Got it!

volley-overlap,tana: All right!

take: We've only just begun!

ukai: Is that all right? Or is that being weak?

yama: Let's calm down and get that point.

coach: Is there any evolution that comes from

going on the defensive, Keishin?

yachi: Here.

kage: Thanks.

yachi: Here you go, Azumane-san.

hina: Crap... What is this?

hina: Nekoma, Lev...

hina: They're strong. They're so strong!

hina: I have to get stronger,

shira jersey,sign: Shiratorizawa Academy

hina: or there's no way we'll win!

kai: Cover! Cover!

yama: Left!

yaku: Two blockers!

yama: Right!

tana: It's up! Nice, Kageyama!

nishi: Nice cover!

sawa: All right, let's get the last ball!

sawa: Sorry! It was a bit short!

suga: Asahi!

yama: Last ball!

Yeah!

suga: Huh?

azu: U-U-U-Uh... Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh—

hina: I'm sorry!

hina: I was just staring at the ball... I'm sorry!

hina: Are you okay? I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!

azu: I-I'm perfectly fine...

hina: I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry!

tana: Hey, be careful.

nishi: No matter what, Shoyo's gonna be the one that goes flying.

ukai: Pay attention to your surroundings, you idiot!

ukai: Why do you think everyone's calling the ball, you dumbass?!

hina: Right... I'm sorry.

volley-overlap,kage: Moron! Hinata, you moron!

sawa: Now, now. Calm down, Kageyama.

ukai: I'm sure Hinata acted completely subconsciously just then,

ukai: but it looked like he was trying to steal the toss from the ace.

neko: Is the baby crow about to evolve?

neko: And will that be a blessing or a curse for their team?

neko: Though in the end, those who do not want to change will not evolve.

neko: If that is what you wish for,

neko: even if you are the star of the court,

neko: the hero,

neko: or the ace that brings forth the victory,

neko: you need to greedily proclaim that you are indeed

neko: the best.

hina: Hey, Kageyama.

kage: What?

hina: The quick that goes like whoosh...

hina: I'll...

hina: stop closing my eyes.

volley-eyecatch-a,: Haikyu!!

Haikyu!!

hina: I'll...

hina: stop closing my eyes.

hina: I can't stay like this.

hina: I can't keep hitting quicks that are set just for me.

kage: You can't, and that's why we learned normal quicks.

kage: I don't know what's going on with you right now,

kage: but if you have something to say, I'll listen to it later.

kage: But if you're gonna do that right now,

kage: I'm not going to set to a guy who I know will miss.

yama: Nice serve!

nishi: Asahi-san!

azu: Sorry, cover!

yachi: I couldn't understand the conversation from earlier, but...

kage: Got it!

tana: Left!

yachi: I wasn't imagining the tension

between Hinata and Kageyama-kun, right?

shimi: Yeah...

lev: One touch! Chance ball!

shimi: But it's not just Hinata and Kageyama.

shimi: Ever since Hinata and Azumane bumped into each other,

shimi: they're all on edge.

neko: All right!

sign: Karasuno Nekoma

neko: All right!

person: Let's go!

hina: I can't stay like this.

sawa: Hinata just blurted out what we all had realized.

azu: What happened there was looming fear.

hina: All right! Here I go!

azu: At this rate, I'm going to be eaten up by Hinata,

nishi: I'll show you how it's done!

azu: whose greed keeps growing.

neko: It appears that there's been a change in your players' wills.

ukai: It's true that an impasse like this is a perfect time to grow,

sawa: Gather round!

ukai: but how am I supposed to explain that?

take: You guys are the weakest team out of all the teams here.

all: We can't argue with that...

take: If we were to have an official match with any of these teams,

take: they would be a troublesome opponent.

take: Are we going to view them as mere opponents,

take: or teachers that we can absorb techniques from?

take: The fact that you are weak just means that you have room to grow.

take: There's nothing more exciting than that.

sawa: Thank you!

all: Thank you!

ukai: What you said out there

made you almost seem like a really reliable teacher.

ukai: Thanks!

take: Uh, well... I am a teacher, so...

suga: It wouldn't hurt to at least try.

suga: I mean, he was able to do a normal quick

on the fly in the last Nekoma match.

kage: At the time, there was a possibility the normal quick would work,

kage: and I thought that was the only chance we had.

hina: Before I knew it, we lost the last set with Seijoh.

hina: When I realized it,

the ball that was hit was behind me,

hina: and on the floor.

kage: Sorry.

kage: They totally read me in the end.

hina: I'm the one who lost,

so I don't want you to apologize, Kageyama.

hina: I want to fight in mid-air until the very last moment.

kage: I sort of realized in the Seijoh match that it's the setter that brings out

kage: % of the spiker's strength.

kage: That quick is your ultimate w*apon.

kage: Any slight slippage in that quick

kage: becomes a fatal mistake.

kage: Your will is not needed for that quick.

suga: Kageyama isn't denying his worth out of emotion.

suga: He's just stating the truth.

suga: Sorry, Hinata.

This time, I've got to agree with Kageyama

after hearing him say that.

suga: That quick is amazing in itself.

suga: I think it might be best that you use that as an axis,

and polish up other att*cks.

ukai: Yeah... I agree with Sugawara.

suga: Ukai-san.

ukai: You say that you want to fight on your own,

but that weirdo quick is a battle that lasts a split second.

ukai: I honestly think it's pretty hard

ukai: trying to figure out what to do in that split second mid-air.

hina: But when I'm doing well,

hina: I can see it in slow motion,

hina: just like Tanaka-san said.

tana: Some times, I can see the opponent's block

: in slow motion in the air.

tana: It's just like light passing by.

ukai: Well, there are times that blocks are more visible.

hina: In the practice match against Seijoh...

hina: The last point...

hina: The Great King...

I could see Oikawa-san's face.

hina: I could see his eyes.

ukai: Face? Eyes?

ukai: Oh... You mean you felt like you saw them, right?

hina: Even when I first did that quick during our -on- ...

hina: I could see the other side.

hina: I could see the scenery from the very top.

ukai: But you mean you just felt like you saw...

sawa: Oh, there you are. We're starting.

hina: Oh, I'll be right there.

ukai: Narita.

nari: Yes?

ukai: Switch out with Hinata next.

nari: Huh? Uh, yes, sir!

ukai: Despite what you think you want to accomplish,

ukai: you need to chill out today.

ukai: I don't think it's gonna work to try things out today,

ukkai: and I'm not gonna have you end up in a contact play like that again

and get hurt.

guy: All right!

yama: One!

volley-overlap,hina: Don't mind! Don't mind!

person: Next one! Next one!

enn: One more on the dot!

lev: All right!

Don't mind!

yama: Nice k*ll, Lev!

kuroo: All right!

person: Cover! Cover!

person: Nice serve!

guy: One more! Nice serve!

sawa: Thank you very much!

all: Thank you!

neko: We'll see you the week after next,

at the summer vacation training camp.

both: Yes, sir! It'll be a pleasure working with you!

neko: This is where it's going to get real.

neko: It's the last long-term training camp before the spring tournament prelims.

take: Yes.

neko: Just know that you're gonna be joining me for drinks every night for a week.

take: Yes, sir!

both: Thank you very much.

kuro: I'm mentioning this a bit late,

No worries.

but looks like all your third-years stuck around, too.

suga: I'll start packing the gear into the back,

so keep bringing me more.

sawa: Yeah. You guys ended up going

karasu: Right!

against last year's winners on the second day, right?

During the Inter-High prelims?

sawa: I heard that from Hinata.

kuro: Yeah. We stopped at the quarterfinals.

sawa: Tokyo's quarterfinals are amazing.

kuro: There's no point if we don't win.

sawa: You're right.

lev: See ya later, Hinata.

lev: I'll stop you next time, too.

hina: I'm not gonna lose!

I may be centimeters, but I'll b*at your -centimeter butt!

take: This training camp was really great.

take: I think we found a lot of areas for improvement.

ukai: Well, we're gonna have to take them one at a time.

take: Indeed. Let's go home and carefully think about them.

ukai: Go home, huh...

take: Ukai-kun?

ukai: Speaking of going home,

a rather annoying relative is coming home...

take: All right, everyone. Good work.

all: Thank you!

take: So, as I mentioned, tomorrow there will be inspections in the gym,

take: so there'll be no club activities.

take: You've all gone a long time without a break,

so please enjoy it.

hina: Kageyama.

hina: Give me a toss.

yachi: Huh?

yachi: You two aren't going home yet?

hina: Yachi-san, if you don't mind,

could you throw us some balls?

yachi: Huh? Can I do that?

hina: You just have to throw the ball above Kageyama's head.

yachi: S-Sure! I'll give it a try.

hina: Let's do this!

yachi: Here you go.

kage: He keeps getting distracted by the ball

and can't jump his highest.

hina: One more time!

hina: One more time!

kage: Instead of practicing an att*ck we're not sure you'll ever be able to do,

kage: you should be working on the att*cks we've been using,

as well as serving and blocking!

hina: But if this quick doesn't work,

there's no point in me being on the court.

kage: And I told you, your will isn't needed for that quick!

kage: I'll give you tosses that won't be stopped by blocks!

hina: But then I'll never get better!

kage: The prelims for the spring tournament start next month!

kage: They're right around the corner.

kkage: What do you think will be an effective w*apon for us?

kage: A complete quick or an absolutely useless quick?! Huh?!

yachi: N-No fighting, guys.

yachi: Calm down, Kageyama-kun.

kage: Damn it!

kage: What I'm saying is correct,

yachi: You, too, Hinata...

kage: so why...

kage: Why does he keep hanging on?!

hina: I want to be strong enough to compete by myself!

kage: Your selfishness is going to destroy the team's balance!

yachi: L-Let's all...

yachi: Let's all be friends, o-okay?!

kage: I'll toss to anyone who's essential to winning.

kage: But I don't think you're essential to winning right now.

kage: And I don't feel any different now.

hina: Kageyama!

kage: Damn it! Let go!

hina: I won't let go until you give me a toss!

hina: Give me one!

volley-overlap,yachi: Someone... Senpai!

kage: Don't be ridiculous!

hina: That quick was stopped!

Today, and during the Seijoh match!

kage: Are you trying to say that my toss was at fault?

hina: No! That's not it!

hina: It was perfect! It was spot-on!

And yet, it was stopped!

hina: If I don't get better, it's not going to work on stronger opponents, either!

tana: Hey!

tana: Stop it, you two!

yachi: I-I'm just going to the bus stop over there, so I'm fine here.

yachi: Thanks.

hina: I'm sorry, Yachi-san.

yachi: N-No worries!

yachi: It's fine... I'm totally fine.

yachi: But you're...

hina: In my first and final tournament in junior high,

we were destroyed by Kageyama.

hina: I vowed revenge when I got into high school,

kids,poster: Kids' Volleyball

and of course I ran right into him.

hina: He was even worse than I could have imagined and we went through a lot,

hina: but once we started playing our matches, I felt like we understood each other.

hina: It wasn't that he was the first friend I'd made. He was a partner.

hina: Well, see you later.

yachi: Yeah...

azu: What?

azu: They got into a fight?

suga: There's been tension between them ever since the training camp.

tana: I wonder if they're gonna be okay, considering the spring tournament's coming up.

sawa: But this isn't the first time they've ever fought, is it?

tana: Come to think of it,

tana: they were fighting even before they turned in their membership applications.

azu: What? Seriously?

suga: The first day, they blew off the Vice Principal's toupee,

suga: and they even got shut out of the gym by Daichi.

It was ridiculous.

tana: Well, that also means they've gotten over those things, too...

sawa: Right? So I think

we should just believe in them and wait.

store,sign: Sakanoshita Shop

ukai: Thank ya.

ukai: Considering he was never able to see it,

it's pretty much impossible for him to power it up even more.

hina: I could see the other side.

hina: I could see the scenery from the very top.

ukai: Those eyes...

ukai: The moment you're at the highest point of a jump

is a mere moment.

ukai: Even if you're able to see the block,

it shouldn't be anything more than a blur.

ukai: But every once in a while,

uai: I've heard that there are moments

where spikers can clearly see the blockers' fingers, and even beyond that.

ukai: Can Hinata actually see that?

uai: A quick att*ck that comes from a spectacular set up...

ukai: If Hinata could hit that at will while in mid-air...

ukai: No, no, no... There's no way!

It's just an empty theory.

ukai: But maybe...

ukai: If he could actually do it,

ukai: that duo would become even greater champions

of mid-air battle than the Little Giant.

ukai: Welcome—

Oh, it's you, Hinata.

hina: Coach, exactly how am I supposed to practice?

suga: Hinata and Kageyama are fighting, huh?

azu: You can totally feel their youth.

suga: Yeah, I can't say I really feel any youth from you, Asahi.

azu: Huh? Then what do I feel like?

suga: On the outside, your youth is over, Asahi.

sign: Episode : "Tempo"

azu: That's so mean!

suga: Next time on Haikyu!! "Tempo."
