Haikyuu : The Unstoppable Force

The game on the court is still going, and the closer it gets to the end, the more the players of Karasuno High dare not let their guard down.

There have been many teams in the past that were overturned right at the end of the match.

What's more, the team they're facing today is Nekoma High—a team extremely familiar with them—so the players of Karasuno are being especially cautious.

They can't afford to be caught off guard by Nekoma in the final stage of the game!

Even if the possibility is small… they still have to be careful!

Bang!

A fierce spike slammed into the arm of Kuroo, the blocker, and the ball was directly stopped. Tsukishima, who had failed to score, exhaled quietly.

Compared to Kuroo, he still lacked experience in these situations.

On the other side of the net, everyone on Nekoma who had just scored a point also let out a breath of relief.

Now, Karasuno's score has reached 23 points—that means...

If they had scored that last point, Karasuno would have already reached match point!

And then there would be no room for Nekoma to turn the game around!!

"Send a good one… Fukunaga!"

Yamamoto wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned his head to call out.

Even in the final set of the match, Yamamoto's voice was still full of energy!

His fighting spirit seemed boundless!

Persistence, tenacity, never giving up—that's his style!

"...I got it."

Shōhei Fukunaga, who usually spoke very little, looked utterly exhausted. He barely moved his lips and forced out the words.

Bang!

At the referee's whistle, a floating serve flew straight to the back corner of Karasuno's court!

The ball landed right in the gap between Akira and Yū Nishinoya!

Generally speaking, this kind of ball is one of the most difficult to deal with.

Because it's within the defensive range of both players—either one could receive it.

And that's precisely what makes it hard to handle.

A player who is highly focused on court will naturally react when a ball enters their defensive zone, preparing to move in and receive it.

But when both players move to receive it at the same time, they'll instinctively stop once they realize the other is also going for it.

Because if both go in at once, there's a high risk of colliding!

Missing the ball and losing the point is one thing—but if an injury happens, that player might not be able to continue in the match!

So for some teams, these kinds of serves are the trickiest to manage.

But Karasuno is different.

They've played too many practice matches in the past!

During daily training, they've encountered this exact situation countless times!

Simply put—they have experience!

They've faced this kind of serve again and again and have clear strategies to deal with it.

In this moment, faced with the incoming ball, Akira immediately sidestepped out of the way!

Then, Nishinoya slid in and received the ball smoothly with a sideways motion!

That's right!

In the past, Coach Ikkei Ukai had already made clear instructions for how to handle this kind of serve!

If Nishinoya is on the court with others in the receiving formation, this kind of serve should always go to him!

Because he's the strongest receiver on the team!

And since the libero doesn't participate in the attack, letting him receive frees the others to focus on offense—this is the most effective setup!

If Nishinoya isn't involved, then the two nearest players will receive together!

Never give up on the ball!

It's just that when moving into each other's space, they have to control their force and speed.

Otherwise...

There's a risk of colliding and getting hurt!

Now, back on the court, Nishinoya, who had just received the serve, had already retreated to the back to clear space for Akira's potential attack route!

And at the front, Kageyama moved directly into position beneath the ball!

Swish!

A quick flick of the wrist, and the set flew out in a blur, dazzling the players of Nekoma across the net!

Who's going to attack?!

Up front, Tsukishima had already begun his approach from the middle!

On the wing, Hinata was darting through the court—his small frame lightning fast and impossible to ignore!

What troubled Nekoma even more was that in the backcourt, Akira had already begun moving in sync with the rhythm of the play!

That meant the ball could be coming to him as well!

In a high-pressure moment like this, there wasn't much time to think!

Sometimes, when your eyes can't track the play in time, all you can rely on is instinct!

Bang!!

The heavy sound of a volleyball striking the floor rang out behind them!

This time, their instincts led them wrong.

Kageyama and Hinata had used that initial fast attack they're known for—

The kind where Kageyama controls the set entirely, triggering the fastest quick attack possible!

Nekoma didn't react in time, and Karasuno scored directly off it!

Now, Karasuno has reached match point!
