"Haikyu!" is a hugely popular volleyball manga currently running in Weekly Shonen Jump. Its many high school boys dedicate their youth to volleyball, garnering many young female fans! The heartwarming story revolves around the growth of the main characters, Hinata Shoyo and Kageyama Tobio, and the Karasuno High School boys' volleyball team they belong to. In this article, we'll introduce some of "Haikyu!"'s most memorable scenes and quotes!
① Kageyama: "With me, you're the strongest."
Hinata, who had always admired aces, felt a certain amount of jealousy the moment he saw Karasuno's ace, Azumano, play. Kageyama saw through this and said these words. He then had Hinata use his "weird quick attack" to compete against the Karasuno Neighborhood Association team's block, resulting in an impressive score.
"Have you ever been caught by the block when I tossed the ball?" he continued, "With your spring and speed and my toss, you can take on any block." Hinata was convinced by his words and realized that his role was nothing to be ashamed of.
② The scene where a dejected Azumane Asahi recovers and calls for a toss
Azumane's spikes were completely blocked in one game, and he was so disheartened he stopped attending club activities. However, he hadn't actually grown to hate volleyball. By chance, Azumane ended up joining the volleyball club's practice, but once again, his spike was blocked...
However, Nishinoya picked up the blocked ball and shouted to Azumane, "I'll connect even the ball that bounces off the wall, so please call for another toss! Ace!" As Sugawara wondered whether to toss the ball to Azumane, Azumane yelled, "Sugar!!! One more!" Sugawara then made a toss, which Azumane is good at, and he beautifully hit three blocks!
③ Sugawara: "I want to win as many games as possible. I want a ticket to move on to the next stage."
Karasuno lost to Aoba Johsai in a close match in the third round of the Inter-High Preliminaries. Everyone left the gym, still feeling disappointment. Coach Ukai then suggested, "Let's go eat," and they decided to have a proper meal at his favorite izakaya, featuring deep-fried tofu and pickled octopus. The Karasuno members, with gloomy expressions on their faces, ate their food in silence. Even as they ate heartily, everyone except Tsukishima couldn't help but cry, leaving them covered in tears and snot. This is a memorable scene. And Coach Ukai's gentle words, "Eat, eat more, and get stronger," really pierced my heart. During the Spring High School Volleyball Tournament preliminaries against Wakunami, Sawamura collided with Tanaka, taking a hard hit to the face and leaving the team. Karasuno's defense is weak, and losing Sawamura, known for his excellent receiving ability, is a major blow to their team... So, second-year reserve player Enoshita Riki stepped onto the court in Sawamura's place. With a loss meaning it would be the third-year students' final match, Ennoshita was incredibly nervous. However, he was unable to receive the powerful serve... Still, Ennoshita roared, rallied, and fought to the end, securing a stunning victory. Yamaguchi, who appeared as a pinch server in the match against Wakunan, was so nervous on the second serve that he hit a standard serve. Regretting his actions, Yamaguchi admitted his hesitation and apologized to Coach Ukai. He had begged, "Please give me one more chance." Given another chance in the next match, Yamaguchi hits a no-touch ace against Aoba Johsai, led by Oikawa! His teammates cheered in celebration, but his teammate Tsukishima remained calm. Hearing this, Yamaguchi looked on the verge of tears. Aoba Johsai lost to Karasuno in the Spring High preliminaries. During the final intense rally, ace Iwaizumi was unable to convert the opportunity created by Oikawa's fierce play. Ultimately, their defeat was due to their inability to retrieve Hinata's spike, but for Iwaizumi, it was a match he will always regret. After the match, as he recalled the fine play made by his partner Oikawa, with whom he had played since elementary school, he burst into tears, muttering to himself, "What kind of ace is he if he can't score that one?" Although he didn't say it out loud, Oikawa silently slapped Iwaizumi on the back without saying a word. His teammates then looked down and one after the other slapped Iwaizumi on the back as he cried. It's a memorable scene that shows the strong bond between Iwaizumi, Oikawa, and the Aoba Johsai team. During the match against Shiratorizawa, Karasuno was one point away from defeat. Everyone on the court was exhausted, looking down with desperate expressions on their faces. Having used up all their timeouts, Coach Ukai instantly shouted these words in a voice that reverberated throughout the gym! In response, the team members smiled faintly and looked straight ahead. Shortly after, Tsukishima, who had been sidelined due to injury, returned to the court, and Karasuno gained momentum. Karasuno was just one point away from victory. Shiratorizawa's serve caught on the net and nearly fell in front of Sawamura, but Sawamura was so exhausted he couldn't move his feet. Nishinoya leaped out to receive the ball! However, Kageyama smashed it into the air, but it was blocked by Shiratorizawa's block. The ball returned to Karasuno's court, and Nishinoya, still off-balance, received it again with a stunning play that thrilled the crowd! Nishinoya then promised the other members, "Even if my thighs get sore, I'm counting on you for the aerial battle." Shiratorizawa boasts a team capable of winning the national championship. No one expected Karasuno to beat them. However, after a fierce battle, Hinata's final shot secured victory. At that moment, Sawamura, Azuma, and Sugawara embraced each other in silence and shed tears. When manager Kiyoko Shimizu saw them outside the court, she was speechless and burst into tears... It's truly moving to see these third-year students, who have worked hard together through difficult times, honing their skills.
