All: It went up!
Hina: I'm gonna go show Ushiwaka who's boss!

Crow: Whoa...
Crow: There he is... The Guess Monster.
Sae: What do they mean by that?
Sae: Is Shiratorizawa's # a sleazebag (gesu), or something?
Yach: I-Is he going to try to hit them in the eyes, or something?
Yach: Be careful, Hinata!
Shima: That'd be cheating...
Gosh: Leon-san, nice serve!
Sawa: Sorry!
Tana: Kageyama, get the last!
Guy: Stop another one!
Te: Blocking isn't a technique to stop the ball.
Te: Tsutomu, go up straight.
Ten: It's a technique to smack down the ball.
Sign: Be Courageous Warriors
Shir: All right!
Shim: When you're able to get a clean block,
it truly is a technique that makes you feel like the tables have turned.
Ten: I'm starting to get into it!
Yama: Get the next one!
Hina: Don't mind, Kageyama-kun!
Hina: Don't, don't mind! Kageyama—
Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa
Kage: Nice receive!
Ten: So naïve...
Shira: All right!
Ten: I'm...
Ten: % today!
Sae: How is he able to react like that?
Shim: It's not just how he reacts.
Shim: In that moment, there were three possibilities.
Sign: Net
Shim: First, Kageyama's currently on the front line,
so it was possible for him to do a dump.
Shim: So was he going to dump, or not?
Shim: If he wasn't going to dump, he has Tanaka and Hinata on the front line,
Shim: and Azumane and Sawamura on the back line who he can set to.
Shim: And in this case, it went to Hinata,
Shim: but there were also various courses Hinata could have used.
Shim: You can see quite a bit when you're up here,
Shim: but when you're on the court, you can get frazzled.
Shim: So even if you know which way you want to go, your body may not move right.
Shim: But...
Shim: He's able to move.
Taki: I guess it's no surprise that they took a time out.
Gosh: I totally thought that they were going to do a back att*ck just now.
Gosh: I mean, he totally gave that other guy a look.
Ten: That was a complete fake.
Gsh: Huh?
Ten: Karasuno's setter's pretty good, right?
Ten: But that glance was way too obvious and over the top.
Shir: Glances, footwork, and handling...
Shir: If Tendo-san figures any of those things out, you're finished.
Coach: Nice block, Satori.
Ten: Yup.
Ten: Sorry that I'm getting more attention than you, Wakatoshi-kun.
Ushi: That's not a problem.
Sign: Certain Victory
Sawa: We're going to cut them off on the next one!
Tana: Hinata, we're going to switch things up! Get this next one!
Hina: Right!
Tana: Hey, Kageyama, what's wrong with your face?
Kage: Nothing's wrong.
Tana: You liar!
Kage: It's one thing when my spike gets blocked,
but it pisses me off a million times more
Kage: when a spike from my set-up gets blocked...
Take: How is their #
Take: able to continue blocking like that?
Kei: Sensei, you remember read blocking, right?
Take: You see where the toss is going before jumping up to block, right?
Kei: Yeah. "Read" in this case doesn't necessarily mean to read,
but more to understand.
Kei: Since you're jumping up after watching the ball,
Kei: there's no danger in the toss tricking you.
Kei: Their reaction will be slightly slower,
but if you can cover by using three blockers,
Kei: it's the most effective.
Kei: We're still in the middle of practicing this ourselves.
Kei: On the other hand, what's special about their # 's blocks
Kei: are his reading and intuition. He does guess blocking.
Kei: "Guess" means to presume something,
Kei: and he'll read the att*ck before the toss goes up,
Kei: and then he'll jump pretty much on intuition.
Hina: Guess?!
Kei: Of course, there will be times where his intuition is off,
Kei: and he might get in the way of his team's blocks and receives.
Kei: This is definitely a style of blocking that doesn't work for everyone.
Kei: But I think that # is so accurate with his guesses that it's scary.
Kei: On top of that, he has a body that can react to those guesses.
Kei: It's better to think that his movements have no regularity to them.
Kei: Don't think too hard and get fooled by them.
All: Right!
Yama: What do we need to do in order for him not to read our tosses?
Yama: Does that mean Kageyama's going to have to do the crazy feints that Hinata does, too?
Tsuk: That actually sounds pretty amusing, so why not?
Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa
Ten: One more, nice serve!
Swa: Front!
Sawa: Sorry, it's short!
Shira: It doesn't matter what kind of feints you try to use against Tendo-san...
Ten: So this must be what it means
to have perfect coordination...
Ten: Just barely missed me...
All: Yeah!
Shira: I had no idea where the toss was going to go
until he got the spike in.
Ten: So you aimed that
to go right over my head after what I just did.
Ten: You must really hate losing.
En: You guys really are amusing.

Chance ball!
Ten: I've made a mistake!
Sawa: One more, one more!
Hup!
Kage: Got it!
Kei: It's better to think that his movements have no regularity to them.
Kei: Don't think too hard and get fooled by them.
Kei: And with opponents like this,
Kei: it's best to lead them as far left or right as possible.
Ten: You just don't stop moving, do you?
Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa
Kara: All right!
Suga: All right! We caught up with them!
Enn: Hinata, nice k*ll!
Yama: Way to go, Hinata!
Ten: There have been setters who I admired for trying so hard to stop me from reading them...
Ten: But that # 's timing sure is fast.
Ten: If I'm even one tempo late, I can't reach it.
Leo: Were you just expecting us to forget your "I've made a mistake!" earlier?
Ten: Ayup, gesu...
Ushi: You're talking strangely, Tendo.
Tana: Kageyama, one more! Nice serve!
Shir: Nice receive!
Taki: Nice receive!
Shim: This is their chance to att*ck!
tn: One touch!
Yama: Got it!
Sign: Be Courageous Warriors
Kage: Did he just put in a fake?
Kag: Or did he just change his mind?
Aki: It really seems that conventional logic
doesn't work on Shiratorizawa.
Take: Just what is with # 's blocking?
Kei: He's planning on stopping all of them on his own.
Take: Huh?
Kei: Tendo's blocks are basically blocks used to score points.
Kei: He uses his opponent's spikes against them,
and makes them his own points.
Kei: But blocking isn't limited to being done on your own.
Kei: The blocking that we're trying to do right now,
Kei: blocking in order to connect...
Kei: If we can make it work, it'll lead to points.
Kei: In any case, depending on the timing,
Kei: blocks can actually be more valuable than spikes.
Take: I see...
Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa
Gosh: Nice receive!
Shima: Don't let them get ahead!
Shir: Ushijima-san!
Taki: If they get their opportunity, they're not going to stop!
Crowd: Nice k*ll, Ushijima!
Guy: That was like a blow to shut up the commoners.
Crowd: Ushijima! Ushijima! Ushijima!
Guy: Ushiwaka's definitely on another level.
Take: In order to stop att*cks, blocks evolve.
Take: And in order to break through blocks, att*cks also evolve.
Take: att*cks become diverse by using back att*cks,
Take: att*cks that get faster, and combinations.
Take: And then by changing how one jumps and where they're positioned,
Take: blocks shut down att*cks.
Take: They think they're at the top,
but they continue to go higher and higher and keep developing.
Kei: Looks like you've learned a few things, Sensei.
Take: Those are just words.
Take: I'm sure they kept developing through understanding,
All: All right!
their fighting spirit, and unwavering tenacity.
Take: Miraculous super plays will save the team,
Take: but the same can be said about understanding.
Sign: Karasuno Shiratorizawa
Ten: Oh?
Ten: Hey, it's the normal guy.
Sawa: All right. Don't let him get to you.
Leon: Nice serve!
Nish: It's going to fall!

Nish: Damn it... I'm sorry!
Kage: A time lag att*ck?
Ten: Huh?
Yama: Tsukki!
All: All right!
Tsuki: Hi. I'm the normal guy.
Tsuki: The time lag att*ck
may have fooled our wild beast over there,
Tsuki: but it doesn't work on me.
Pleasure to meet you.
Ten: I knew that all the first-years at Karasuno pissed me off,
but you take the cake.
Tsuki: Thanks.
Ten: You piss me off!
Tana: Asahi-san, nice serve!

Gosh: Y-Yes, sir!
Ten: Pfft... "Yes."
Coach: I don't care if you run into each other! Go for the damn ball, ya idjits!

I thought he was pretty quiet today.
Both: Yeah!

Kage: Switch...
Suga: ...and then...
Suga: A synchronized att*ck!
Kage: Yeah!
Suga: Nice, Kageyama!
Old: What? What happened just now?
Old: Did the setter hit that?
Coach: Those impertinent little...
I guess things haven't changed, even with the grandson.
Guy: That's right. Karasuno's coach is Ukai-sensei's grandson.
Coch: Ukai...
Coach: He always did think that new things meant strength.
Coach: I never did like him.
Sign: Shiratorizawa Karasuno
Gramps: Always relying on the left cannon...
How archaic.
Coach: Your team is ridiculous and everyone att*cks,
so no one's left to follow up!
Coach: There're only a certain number of things you can do
with these high school teams that change every year.
Coach: Polishing diamonds in the best way possible...
Shira: All right!
Coch: ...is the best possible option.
Kei: Washijo-sensei never changes.
Bg: Ohira! Ohira
Kei: "Simple is best."
He loves height and power,
Kei: and is always on the lookout to gather powerful players.
Ten: Leon-kun, nice serve.
Kei: Even if they weren't accepted by the team originally,
Kei: if they fit Washijo-sensei's definition of "powerful,"
there won't be a problem.
Kei: And then he puts them through hardcore training to keep them strong.
Take: But you can't call all of them star players, can you?
Kei: Of course not.
Kei: Though I'm sure that him getting someone like Ushijima was a jackpot.
Kei: Using a powerful player like Ushijima as the main attacker,
Some: Ushijima-san!
Kei: and making sure that no one gets in his way
Kei: probably sums up Shiratorizawa's style.
Shira: All right!
Taki: Ushiwaka really doesn't stop.
Shim: But there are still ways to turn things around.
Yama: Nice receive!
Shir: All right!

What, you say? Their hearts!
Ten: Keep on shattering them!
What, you say?
Guy: Those blocks?
Ten: Nah, their spirits!
Guy: I can never read this guy.
Ten: He sure is persistent...
Ten: That brat with the glasses.
Kei: Sensei.
Take: Right.
Guy: Apparently, even that serve isn't enough to stop them.
Guy: Yeah.
Old: When they're able to stop ‘em, they can,
and when they can't stop ‘em, they can't! Got it?!
Kei: It's true that completely shutting them down,
or breaking through a three-person block looks cool,
Kei: and excites the crowd,
Kei: but don't try to finish things.
Kei: I'm sure that the rougher things get,
the more you want to finish things in one sh*t.
Kei: But don't forget to imagine your next plays,
like one touches and rebounds.
Kei: All plays are connected.
Kage: This doesn't mean you're supposed to put up your guard.
Hina: I know that!
Kei: I know I keep saying this,
Kei: but even if plays don't lead to points, they start showing results later.
Kei: We're finally doing a five-set match.
Kei: It'd be a waste to spend the whole time dreading
how long you've still got.
Tana: Right! Let's do this!
Hina: Yeah!
Tsuki: Um...
Tsuki: Would you let me set the timing
Tsui: for the three-person block?
Guy: Shirabu.
Guy: Don't forget to pass to Wakatoshi.
Shir: Right. Got it.
