Haikyu!! (ハイキュー!!)

Shiratorizawa

I haven't doubted once that we would win.

But right now,

I am completely sure

that I want to crush you.

All right!

Shiratorizawa Karasuno

One more point! One more point!

One more point!

Haikyu!!

Karasuno High School vs Shiratorizawa Academy

Episode 09: The Volleyball Idiots

Go! One more!

Ugh, it hurts.

This seriously sucks.

Don't come in feeling like a decoy.

Stop, then jump up.

Oh, by the way...

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

rather than lining up with their bodies to block,

if you line up with their dominant hand...

Being too comfortable can be scary.

To think that the weirdo quick that we thought was unstoppable

would be stopped...

Yeah!

Damn it! One more time!

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

So you noticed? Not bad.

Tsukki! Jump some blocks for me! Okay?!

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

Not on how the match is going...

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

Tsukki!

The glasses guy from Karasuno's back!

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

It's not gonna end!

Tsukishima—

The bleeding has stopped.

They immobilized the part that was dislocated rock hard.

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

That basically sums it up.

To think a day would come

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

Is Kei okay?!

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

and apparently he can continue playing.

But I'm pretty sure...

The pain hasn't stopped at all.

I bought you some time...

Though, to be honest,

Yamaguchi actually bought more time than me.

Well, thanks for your honesty.

Be Courageous Warriors

One more point! One more point! One more point!

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

We need to move up our defenses.

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

Yunohama, nice serve!

Daichi-san!

All right!

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

Nice receive!

All right!

He read me.

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

Shiratorizawa Karasuno

A dump right there?!

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

We're counting on you, Tsukishima.

Well done.

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

Right!

Tsukishima!

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

Um... about when we do a 3-person block...

Not phased one bit, are you?

Tsukishima!

We're counting on you!

All right.

Now both Tobio and Kei are back.

Now for the counterattack!

We're gonna get through this!

Yeah!

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

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

Shirabu.

You remember our promise, don't you?

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

Yes!

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

I really hate this!

Come on, please! Make this...

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

Give it everything you've got, Asahi!

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

All right! Bring it!

Yes!

Yes! Yes!

Give it to me!

Again?!

Go! Wakatoshi-kun!

His right hand!

This is so stupid...

I'm not Hinata.

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

One touch!

They managed to stop it again.

What happened to Four-Eyes?

At the first practice match,

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

Nice, Nishinoya!

Chance ball!

Ushijima-san!

Time difference from the right.

We're going to open it up!

Nishinoya-san's field of view.

Nice receive!

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

and still be able to instruct others.

Asahi-san!

Tsutomu!

Nice! Get the last!

One more time...

He's planning to hit it...

Ushiwaka three times in a row!

The top of the net...

Yes!

This is our chance!

My legs are so friggin' heavy...

Don't give up, legs!

I'm going to hit it!

Tsukishima's doing a slide hit?!

He's faking!

He's figured me out...

But I managed to gain you a few seconds.

I-It's a break!

All right!

Shiratorizawa Karasuno

We did it!

They're at a match point!

One more point, and they'll beat Shiratorizawa!

I think they might just be able to do it!

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

Go, Karasuno!

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

Karasuno really is versatile.

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

We can't easily abandon a near perfect time difference attack,

and Shiratorizawa's not going to change their style

of strengthening individual strengths.

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

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

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

I'm so happy, Tsukishima!

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

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

So they don't hesitate to try new things.

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

The old and dependable Shiratorizawa...

The new and reckless Karasuno...

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

so they should both lose.

You really are a crappy guy.

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

Pick between that or a "shitty guy."

Well, then I guess I choose "crappy"!

Don't let up til the end!

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

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

but for Karasuno's offense,

they've done starting runs more than spikes.

That may look like a lot of needless movement,

but that's the primary factor

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

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

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

Nishinoya-san, are you okay?

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

Ushijima's scored about 40 points.

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

Despite being thoroughly marked,

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

I knew that...

I knew that, but...

Ushijima Wakatoshi is beyond impressive.

Ushijima-san.

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

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

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

That's right.

Let's go.

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

If volleyball was a one-on-one sport,

we wouldn't be able to win against Shiratorizawa.

We're smaller, and our individual attack strength falls short in comparison.

But there are six of us on the court.

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

Our concept won't change until the very end!

We're going to punch our way through!

Yeah!
