Episode 10: The Battle of Concepts

We've basically used up all our options for switching out players.

But right now, the setter's on the back line,

Hinata, nice serve!

and there are three attackers in front.

Along with Hinata's super-fast back attack, there are two attackers.

This rotation is 100% a super attack-style rotation.

If you guys can find a chance to attack...

With Nishinoya out and Sawamura in front,

receiving is also really light on this rotation, too.

Everything is riding on the blockers.

Fly

Got it!

Hayato!

It went in.

Hinata, change positions with me!

Time-difference attacks don't work against Four-Eyes...

Then we'll get through the center with sheer speed!

They're going for the center at a time like this?!

Listen up, brat!

Read blocking is a block that consists of restraint and persistence, but it's also...

The block where you laugh last.

One touch!

Chance ball!

There's no other...

...choice...

...but to...

...attack!

A minus tempo...

Back attack!

Go!

Jump on it, Taichi!

Shirabu!

Right!

A straight!

Ready, and...

Hinata!

Kageyama, get the last!

Hinata, are you okay?

Yeah!

It's in!

Got it!

They returned it to a terrible spot.

There's no time to hesitate!

Ushijima-san!

Follow!

This toss isn't going up for me...

It's so frustrating...

But...

Because I want to see his spikes...

that's also frustrating.

We're going to stop him!

This is their first 3-person block today

Ready, and...

where they're closing in on a straight...

Whenever we do 3-person blocks,

we always closed in on cross spikes,

but on the last one, let's close on a straight spike.

It'll be a trap we set up

for one whole set or more.

Out of the dozens of three-person blocks we've jumped today,

we've always made a route for the ball to escape through.

We can't mess up this timing.

We won't let it go above us.

Ushiwaka knows that this is the one spot where he can comfortably hit a straight.

Even when his form was crumbling...

He changed it to a cross at the last second!

Damn it, damn it...

He's so damn cool!

Asahi, get the last!

Chance ball!

Their #10 is coming!

Their #10 isn't running up?

He's slowing down his tempo,

from a minus tempo to a first tempo,

and then...

mixing in.

Shit!

Volleyball is sport of height.

It is an absolute that tall players are strong.

Fly

Strengthening each player is a strength,

and so is finding a new way to fight.

That's exactly why there are so many different attacks and defenses today.

There are truly various kinds of strengths.

The great coach Arie Selinger once said,

"There is no reason to believe that there will be no development or changes

in the future."

Shiratorizawa Karasuno

What? Seriously?!

That's my little brother!

The one with the glasses!

They did it...

They really did it.

Tsukki!

Farewell, my paradise.

Hey, it's time to line up.

I-I can't stand up...

Fly

Come on, Shoyo!

Hey!

You can do it!

Thank you very much!

Talk about an upset.

Damn it, why doesn't that bastard Ushiwaka look more upset?

Thank you very much!

Is Karasuno's #10 about as tall as I am?

Huh? Yes, I believe so.

He'll probably continue to grow, though.

The higher his goals get,

the more treacherous his path will be.

Sorry, Hinata. We were trying to close in on that straight

but we didn't make it in time...

Are you okay?

Totally fine!

It's because the course was so narrow that he was able to pick that up.

Kageyama does good work.

Did you notice it, too, Iwa-chan?

Apparently when Four-Eyes came back,

he gave them some kind of directions about blocking.

Like closing in on Ushiwaka's straight.

That's why after the serve,

Tobio suddenly switched places with the shrimp who was in the path of the cross,

because Nishinoya-kun wasn't there.

And then he returned the ball at the last moment.

Your student's not bad.

He's not my student!

And on top of everything,

he was able to accommodate the shrimp, who came here to do something different.

It's painfully obvious.

Well... all of their good work only happened

because of the blocks of that first-year with the glasses.

But I guess the shrimp is a spiker you end up wanting to toss to.

No wonder he's got Tobio wrapped around his little finger.

Come on, let's go home.

I'd rather die than see the awards ceremony.

You really are a crappy guy.

Thank you for all of your support.

Thank you very much!

Well done!

Great job, you guys!

I love you, Ryu!

Shoyo!

Sho-chan!

Sawamura, Sugawara, Azumane!

Congratulations on your victory!

Certain Victory Charm

Be Courageous Warriors Shiratorizawa Academy Volleyball Team

Thank you very much!

Kenjiro, are you all right?

Yes.

My head's just spinning a little.

I never thought we would lose.

Well...

No one here thought we would lose...

We'll have a meeting when we get back.

Once the awards ceremony is over, get onto the bus.

Right.

And you'll be hitting a hundred serves later.

Great job, you guys!

I'm...

I'm... sho happwy...

Sawamura!

Great job...

Great job completing that three-man block in the end.

but even if your thighs were to split open,
