Haikyu!! (ハイキュー!!)

It's short!

Nice cover.

More importantly, Kageyama...

Karasuno Shiratorizawa

We get to play one more set!

Haikyu!!

Karasuno High School vs Shiratorizawa Academy

Shiratorizawa!

Episode 07: Obsession

Shiratorizawa!

If you play a disappointing match,

Shiratorizawa!

you're going to be running back to school from here.

Shiratorizawa!

We actually had to do that when I was a first-year.

Shiratorizawa!

At the third-years' retirement match.

Shiratorizawa!

You are you, and that's the only reason you need to win.

Shiratorizawa!

Because you're all members that I chose without hesitation.

Shiratorizawa!

Shiratorizawa!

Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Shiratorizawa!

The final set...

I'm thinking about starting with Sugawara.

Shiratorizawa!

Shiratorizawa!

Right!

Shiratorizawa!

We're counting on you, Sugawara!

It'll be fine.

Sugawara-kun, give it your all!

This isn't the first time I'm going in during a pinch.

Suga-san, give me a whole bunch of tosses!

Karasuno

Shiratorizawa!

Damn it...

My body's warmed up, but my hands are cold.

Shiratorizawa!

Shiratorizawa!

Shiratorizawa!

P-Please wait a while to marry me!

Don't worry. I don't plan on marrying you, Sugawara.

You don't know that!

I'll hold your hand for you.

No, I'll do it.

No! Stop! Shimizu's scent's gonna go away!

Shut up! It's not fair that you're the only one!

Don't touch me!

They look like they're going to be just fine.

Stop!

It's finally the final set.

Sugawara's starting?

I-I'm even more nervous now.

Kageyama was getting pretty exhausted.

They're probably going to let him rest

and put him back in when they need him the most.

That's only if they can make it that far.

This might be a bit much for Mr. Refreshing, don't you think?

Huh? You're changing your setter?

That's lame.

If you get lost, just toss them to me.

Well, aren't you reliable! What are you, the ace?

I am the ace!

We're counting on you, Tsutomu.

You can do it, future ace!

Right!

We're going to cut them off at one!

Yeah!

Fly

Sorry!

Asahi!

All right!

Yes!

Yeah!

Karasuno Shiratorizawa

The fifth set only goes up to 15 points, right?

It does?

Yeah. It goes really quick.

Hopefully they can make it without them catching up.

Sugawara is a dependable setter. He won't fall apart.

Yeah!

At least, we hope...

It's Ushiwaka!

All right!

Karasuno Shiratorizawa

Damn it... This pressure is insane.

Taichi, nice serve!

Front!

Got it!

Sorry!

That toss was low... Stop panicking!

It's definitely going to be the left.

Out!

D'oh.

The middle was blocked, so you went for the safe left the second time.

You're so easy to read.

Well, our left is pretty efficient, so...

I want to break your heart in two!

Our spikers are strong. I know that more than anyone.

Asahi, nice serve!

Got it!

Our team is plenty strong.

But...

Nishinoya!

we don't stop there!

From a libero setting

to a synchronized attack with everyone other than the libero?

Asahi-san! There's still time, so will you hit one of my tosses?

Noya-san! Let me hit one, too!

Heck, yeah! Of course, Ryu!

Hey, me, too!

Oh, are you going to set some up for us, Suga-san? Thanks!

Oh, no, no.

I'm going to spike!

All right!

All of them...

No one to follow up and block?

Yeah! I love ya, Suga-kun!

Looks like we didn't have to worry about him falling apart.

Looks like our minds were a bit closed.

My weapon is my reliability.

But...

I can do new things, too.

Karasuno Shiratorizawa

All right! It's a break!

Nice kill, Suga!

Yeah!

We did it!

Satori!

How many times do I have to tell you? Don't jump just on your hunch!

But I've scored a ton of points just on my hunches.

That's not going to happen all the time.

There are limits to individual skills.

There's no point if you don't feel good now.

Practice always stops when Tendo's around,

though it's nice to be able to rest.

Or rather, Tendo's sort of scary.

You never know what he's thinking.

I know, right?

I...

Just want to play volleyball that makes me feel good.

I don't have any complaints, as long as you can score.

Keep on breaking them!

What, you say?

Their hearts...

Haikyu!! Karasuno High School vs Shiratorizawa Academy

Haikyu!! Karasuno High School vs Shiratorizawa Academy

Wakatoshi-kun, did you catch Sadako when it was on last week?

I didn't.

It's scary, but I ended up watching it because the leading actress,

Brunhilde Reiko, is super cute!

I see.

Isn't she cute? Brunhilde Reiko.

The only person who could excitedly talk to Wakatoshi about TV is Satori...

I don't know who that is.

But you know, I don't know about the other girl, at least in my opinion.

One of them doesn't look too excited.

No matter how you look at it.

You never look like you're having fun doing anything, Wakatoshi-kun.

That's so rude!

Why did you start playing volleyball, Wakatoshi-kun?

I learned it from my father for a little while.

Huh...

Ushijima

I thought it'd be better to fix his left-handedness early on...

What? No, that's not necessary.

We've always done that in our household.

I'm sorry, but please... Anything but that.

The fact that he's different from other people

will probably end up being his strength.

I won't complain about anything else!

Was your dad a volleyball player?

Yeah, he was a secondary league player.

But apparently, before he got married, he got injured quite often and retired.

Huh... What's his name?

Utsui Takashi.

Don't know him. So his name's not Ushijima?

He married into my mother's family.

Though my parents divorced a while back.

Huh? Oh, sorry...

Hm? It's fine.

Do you ever see him?

No. He's overseas right now.

Wow, that's so cool!

So if you become a star, your dad will probably watch you, too.

Perhaps.

I think back in your dad's time, Shiratorizawa conquered nationals.

Seriously?! That's awesome!

So you wanted to be like your dad, or something?

No, not really.

Oh, I see.

It's just...

Our ace was literally the best ace in Japan.

Back then, he was 190 centimeters tall.

He was a third-year in high school, but he was still growing.

But it wasn't just his physique.

He made you think that if you tossed to him,
