teru: Aw, damn it.
teru: If we had won yesterday, we'd be in a match right now.
boha: Now if only Karasuno can b*at Shiratorizawa,
boha: we'll look a little cool.
teru: No, we wouldn't.
boha: If their # wasn't there, we would have won.
futa: No, you mean the setter.
That guy is insane.
teru: I think it was the captain.
teru: The one that was the most interesting was their # though.
fuuta: The captain, huh?
Well, you've got a point.
futa: Sort of like the foundation that no one really notices?
sign: Haikyu!!
kage: Sawamura-san!
azu: Daichi!
tana: Daichi-san!

guy: What's going on?
guy: What's wrong?
guy: He's on the ground.
iwa: What's going on?
oik: They collided.
oik: Right after they returned that last ball,
# , the bald guy, and the captain crashed into each other.
oik: It looked like he hit his head pretty hard.
iwa: Seriously?
sawa: Ow...
kei: Where did you get hit?
sawa: M-My face?
take: Sawamura-kun, where are you right now?
sawa: Sendai City, in the gym.
take: Who are we playing right now?
sawa: W-Wakunan.
I'm fine!
take: But it appears that you hit your head,
so please go to the infirmary.
kei: Right.
take: Go have them confirm that you really are okay.
That's the quickest way for you to return to the match.
sawa: Yes, sir.
shimi: Blood...
sawa: Eh?
kei: Did you cut your lip?
He doesn't seem to be dizzy.
hina: A tooth?!
oik: There's a possibility their captain won't be playing any more this match.
oik: Though that's the coach's decision.
iwa: It'd be scary if he had a concussion, though.
kei: Sensei, can I leave the rest to you?
tana: D-Daichi-san...
tana: I'm sorry—
swa: Sorry, Tanaka.
sawa: I saw you go in for the cover,
but my body moved on its own and went in there.
sawa: But look.
sawa: Because you got that ball over, we're now in the s.
sign: Karasuno Wakunan
oik: Baldy from Karasuno usually displays a high level of mental toughness,
oik: but he's used to being forced into a corner.
oik: I wonder what he'll be like now, since he broke their leader.
oik: If they lose this match,
it'll probably be the captain's last.
sawa: Sorry, Asahi. I'll be right back.
Hold things down until then.
sawa: I'm counting on you.
azu: Of course. Leave it to me.
iwa: He's walking on his own,
so I think he'll be okay.
oik: But the problem is this match.
oik: I wonder who's going to take charge in their head's place?
iwa: The second setter, maybe?
oik: Unless there's someone who often practices in pairs,
a setter who's skilled enough in both offense and defense to take on a wing spiker...
oik: It'll be hard for someone to fill in.
oik: A wing spiker to take his place, huh?
I'm not sure if Karasuno has one.
suga: You're the only one we have.
We're counting on you.
kino: Chikara! You've got this!
oik: He played in the practice match.
What was he like again?
iwa: I don't really remember him.
Well, he seemed like a guy who can handle things well.
oik: Karasuno doesn't have a lot of players,
so they may just not have anyone else.
enn: This is the same as a practice match...
Same as a practice match...
Same...
sawa: Well, go out there, and give it all you've got.
enn: This isn't the same!
Playing behind him and taking his place are completely different.
tsuki: Oh, so it is you, Ennoshita-san.
kage: Is it okay if we start with a fast att*ck?
enno: Ah... Sure.
nishi: Chikara! Their # tends to hit toward the outside,
so keep that in your head.
enn: R-Right...
hina: Ennoshita-san, you've got this!
suga: Ennoshita, you have every right to be worried.
yama: Let's do this!
suga: But if anyone has to replace Daichi,
nari: You can do it!
everyone on our team thinks it should be you.
tana: Ennoshita, sorry. We're counting on you.
fly,sign: Fly
enn: What do you mean, "sorry"?
enn: About running into Daichi-san?
enn: Of course one of you got hurt after something like that.
enn: In the end, maybe it may cause Daichi-san to leave the match,
enn: but what's on our minds right now...
Asahi-san, if you would.
azu: ...is how glad we are that you weren't hurt, too.
enn: Right, right. Come on, come on.
enn: Our offense is already weakened just by having Daichi-san out.
enn: If you get depressed, it'll just make things worse.
kamo: Wow, this is surprising.
At first glance, Ennoshita seems like he'd be pretty timid.
sae: No way!
sae: Judging by how he is whenever he's over at our place,
Chikara's definitely the don of the second-years.
suga: He's the best wing spiker for managing
the out-of-control second-years who are the core of our offense.
kino: And lately, his influence has spread to our first-year troublemakers, too.
hina: True...
suga: Ennoshita, nice serve!
naka: Nice receive!
person: Center!
waku: All right!
naka: All right...
naka: We're gonna take this back quickly.
enn: Damn it... I'm sorry.
waku: All right!
nishi: I'll guard a little wider.
enn: Thanks, Nishinoya.
nari: Don't worry!
enn: There's no way I can b*at Daichi-san in technique right now...
kino: We'll get the next one!
enn: But... now that I'm standing here,
hana: Takeru, one more! Nice serve!
there's no point in running away by making excuses like that.
enn: Not to mention...
enn: I already know that I'd just make things troublesome later if I run away.
enn: Bring it!
naka: Not bad, Karasuno's substitute captain!
sign: Haikyu!!
sign: Haikyu!!
kei: Nothing's gonna change with the third-years taking charge until the spring tournament,
kei: but you second-years need to at least start thinking about
who's going to be the next captain.
enn: That's what Ukai-san was saying.
tana: The next, huh...
nishi: I think Chikara should do it.
enn: Why?!
nishi: Just 'cause.
enn: Wait, you just ate that popsicle in two bites.
tana: According to the rules, liberos can't be captains, right?
nishi: Yup!
kino: I think Tanaka's qualified, too,
but looking at the first-year lineup...
kino: The simpleton idiots.
nari: The smartass.
nari: Yeah... you can't help but think that we need someone with a sound mind in charge.
tana: I agree with having Ennoshita as captain,
but I'm not fully satisfied.
tana: You two need to put yourselves in, too!
kino: Nope, nope, nope, nope...
narita: Yeah, not happening.
tana: Damn it!
enn: But I ran away...
enn: There's no way I could lead the team.
enn: Summer vacation one year ago...
gramps: Not yet! Not until you can do this!
gramps: Come on! Don't get exhausted after that!
enn: The day after, we lost two first-years...
At this rate, we're never gonna finish!
And a few days later...
enn: I had gone to practice ever since junior high, but...
enn: I skipped one for the first time.
enn: I pretended to be sick.
enn: I felt guilty,
but I didn't have to deal with that painful practice,
or being yelled at.
enn: The air conditioner is amazing.
enn: The next day,
and the day after that...
enn: I don't have to run in the heat.
I don't have to get yelled at.
enn: I wonder if I'm actually some huge masochist.
enn: I-I'm sorry I skipped!
Please let me practice!
sawa: Ennoshita, thank goodness you're back.
kuro: Well don't come in your uniform, then!
sawa: Captain...
enn: I-I'm sorry! I'll go change right now!
kuro: Dealing with other people is hard,
kuro: but you can't just be nice, either.
sawa: Right.
enn: Hey! If you're going, get changed first.
kuro: All right, let's get started.
all: Right!
kuro: Get running!
all: Right!
three: R-Right...
kuro: Karasuno... Fight!
all: Yeah!
kuro: Fight!
all: Yeah!
enn: There were five first-years that boycotted practice at the time.
enn: Two of them quit the volleyball team,
and seem much livelier now.
enn: Which is better?
That probably depends on the person...
enn: It was harder for me when I wasn't playing volleyball, so I came back.
enn: But the thought of running away...
...will stay with me
tana: That might be why.
nishi: You're back right now and that's all that matters.
nishi: Hey, I won!
I'm gonna get another one.
tana: Not everybody who joins a sports club is going to be the reckless type.
tana: I don't know much about those who are a different type than me,
tana: but I think you do.
enn: Well, this is all in the future, so...
tana: Yeah.
nishi: All right!
enn: In any case, there's no way that a coward can do it.
enn: Bring it!
nishi: It's up!
tana: Ennoshita, nice!
Connect it! Connect!
azu: Give it to me!
kage: Azumane-san!
three: All right!
karasu: All right!
hina: Nice k*ll!
nishi: Chikara! Great job getting it up!
enn: R-Right...
enn: Even if I'm a coward,
even if I'm no match for Daichi-san,
enn: I'm gonna fight!
enn: That's why I came back!
sign: Karasuno Wakunan
kino: Asahi-san, nice serve!
kawa: Sorry!
kara: All right!
naka: It's okay. Let's get the next one!
hina: Nice serve!
suga: Nice serve!
bg: Nice, Asahi!
suga: One more!
kawa: Like hell we're giving it to you again!
kawa: I'm gonna get this!
naka: Nice, Hanayan!
shima: Wakunan's pretty calm.
kawa: Nice!
yama: Don't mind, don't mind! Let's do this!
kino: Yamaguchi...
yama: Yes!
Nice receive!
kino: Shimizu-senpai's calling you.
tana: All right!
sign: Karasuno Wakunan
suga: Tanaka, nice k*ll!
shima: Huh?
kei: When Tsukishima's up to serve,
we'll have Yamaguchi come in as a pinch server.
kei: In this situation, we just want to avoid them coming back and taking this set.
kei: We're gonna make a run for it.
person: All right.
tsuki: You're too tense.
tsuki: This isn't like last time when the other side had the lead.
tsuki: Right now, everyone's just thinking we're lucky if we get the point.
yama: Thanks, Tsukki!
tana: Was that him trying to make someone feel better?
azu: Tsukishima's such a smartass.
enn: Yamaguchi, do you feel like throwing up?
yama: Huh? Not just yet.
enn: Then you'll be fine.
enn: Because I feel like I will.
yama: A-Are you all right?
enn: I can barely stand.
tana: Well done, Ennoshita...
yama: What?!
He knows how to get people to calm down
when they're nervous.
shima: I feel sick...
yama: It'll be okay. It'll be okay.
Just like Tsukki said, we're in the lead.
yama: And I practiced...
yama: Crap! The serve toss was a bit low!
Nice serve!
It's over the net!
sign: Karasuno Wakunan
suga: Just one more point!
tana: Yamaguchi, nice serve!
enn: One more!
yama: R-Right...
nishi: You've got this, Yamaguchi!
yama: I was lucky that made it over.
yama: But if I miss the next one, the plus and minus will zero each other out.
yama: Then, I have to...
yama: It's got to be better...
to make sure to get it over.
sae: Huh? I guess he's not doing a jump serve this time?
naka: Got it!
kawa: Nice!
guy: He gave up on a jump floating serve?
Is this some kind of plan?
guy: I think I remember that guy
missing a serve when he was the pinch server during the Seijoh match, too.
guy: Not to mention, that last serve was dangerous, too.
guy: I think he's just scared.
ama: Crap! An att*ck is coming.
Move, legs!
suga: It's falling! Front, front, front!
yama: Move, legs!
suga: It's up!
tana: Cover! Cover!
nishi: Nice, Chikara!
kage: Azumane-san!
azu: Right!
suga: All right!
sign: Karasuno Wakunan
hina: All right!
nishi: Asahi-san, that last back att*ck was awesome!
azu: Thanks.
nari: Hey, Ukai-san's back.
hina: Doesn't he seem really pissed off?
kei: Yamaguchi!
enn: U-Um...
enn: H-He knows.
enn: I think he knows more than anyone else.
sae: What? Was there a problem?
shima: Even if you don't jump,
you can make serves that don't spin and are hard to receive.
shima: But if you jump and hit it from a higher point,
the ball will travel faster and with more force.
sae: Huh...
shima: I don't think it's bad to be cautious right now.
sign: Wakunan Karasuno
shima: In the end, Karasuno scored the point.
But...
shima: For Tadashi to be able to fight as hard as everyone else around him right now,
shima: the serve is all he's got.
shima: If he runs away from that, there's nothing left.
yama: What else do we need besides pride?
hina: Hey, Tsukishima.
yama: I acted all tough with Tsukki,
Don't you have something to say to Yamaguchi?
but I'm just a coward.
tsuki: Why don't you go say something?
yama: I'm so lame...
tana: Ukai-san, how's Daichi-san?
kei: He's fine. There's no worry of a concussion.
kei: But his mouth is bleeding pretty badly, and he's in a lot of pain.
kei: I'm having him rest for a while, just in case.
tana: I know.
kei: We're gonna win, and ready the next stage for Sawamura.
kei: There's nothing else to think about right now!
all: Right!
enn: Right!
suga: All right, let's go!
suga: Karasuno, fight!
all: Yeah!

guy: Shiratorizawa's just got five more points to go.
iwa: Let's go.
oik: Yup.
guy: Also, the match between Karasuno and Wakunan
guy: seems like it's going to go on for a while.
iwa: I wonder how Karasuno's doing without their captain.
oik: Just because a super receive is flashy,
doesn't mean it's good.
oik: If a ball that had always gone up for them
suddenly doesn't go up anymore,
sign: Wakunan Karasuno
oik: that will slowly but surely get to them.
oik: I think...
They're feeling that right about now.
hina: Nothing less from Ennoshita-san.
You'd probably make a good captain.
hina: I wonder who'd be fitting for vice captain...
hina: Tanaka-san and Noya-san definitely aren't it.
kage: Why?
hina: Because they're both kids.
kage: Did that really just come out of your mouth?
