「Recitation Drama」
「Recitation Drama」 「Festival!」
Having overcome our failing grades, we got to go to the Fukurodani Group's training camp in Tokyo.
After practicing with the powerhouse schools, Karasuno High School Volleyball Club's calm moments before dinner
became a major commotion about whether or not we would be participating in a certain event...
All right~ We finished everything. I'm starving.
There sure was a lot of laundry.
Yeah. Everyone was sweating a lot during practice.
I wonder what today's dinner will be.
Hinata, after you finish eating, we're gonna practice your spiking.
Okay!
Is there anything else in your heads besides volleyball and food?
Eating gives me mental strength for volleyball.
I'm not too sure about that.
If I eat a lot, will I get better at volleyball?
That... I wouldn't know.
Good work today!
Whoa, you guys are covered in sweat.
What's up, Yachi-san?
There was a captains meeting before dinner.
It seems that there's going to be a volleyball festival.
A volleyball festival?
What, what, what, what, what, what the heck is that?
I didn't hear too much, but it seems to be a national event for volleyball fans.
A gathering of volleyball players...
Is that like a 'World Martial Arts Tournament'? ※ Tenkaichi Budokai - a tournament held in Dragon Ball Z
That sounds super interesting! Where's it taking place?
I think that I heard Pacifico Yokohama.
Papico... Yokohama?
Papico is a Japanese ice cream.
By Pacifico, she probably means Pacifico Convention.
As expected of Tsukki.
Shut up, Yamaguchi.
Sorry Tsukki.
If you actually put some thought into it, you'd get it.
Then what does Papico mean?
Don't know.
Go ask Glico. ※ Glico is the brand that makes Papico.
Then what does Glico mean? ※ Glico is the brand that makes Papico.
Glycogen. Stop talking about meanings already.
You seriously don't know anything, do you?
And? Where exactly is that?
Well, if it's called Pacifico Yokohama, it has to be in Yokohama.
Eh? But Tokyo Mouseland is in Chiba, isn't it? ※ In real life, Tokyo Disneyland is located in Chiba Prefecture, rather than Tokyo Prefecture.
- Seriously? - Seriously? ※ In real life, Tokyo Disneyland is located in Chiba Prefecture, rather than Tokyo Prefecture.
And now that I think about it, Narita Airport used to be called New Tokyo International Airport. ※ Narita Airport is also located in Chiba Prefecture, not Tokyo like its old name used to imply.
Why's that? Was it a mistake?
Are we gonna have to be careful of all of Tokyo's names?!
The big city is unsurprisingly full of traps, huh?
Pacifico Yokohama - a fearsome place that should not be underestimated by boys or girls.
Come to think of it, I heard that in Tokyo, those who use the wrong restroom don't return.
If it's the same at Pacifico Yokohama, then I won't be able to leave.
Ah, Yachi-san? Is something wrong?
I don't think going to Pacifico Yokohama is a good idea.
Why? Let's go.
It may be okay for guys to get the restrooms mixed up, but it's not safe for girls.
If tricked, Yokohama is a frightening place where you can lose your life.
Calm down, Yachi-san.
I don't think that it'll be as bad as you think. Like Chiba, we're only going to the other side of Tokyo.
Then does that mean Pacifico Yokohama is actually in Kanagawa?
That was obvious, wasn't it...?
Really? But if I remember correctly, Yokohama Prefecture and Kanagawa Prefecture aren't the same.
You... are a high school student, right? ※ Yokohama is NOT a prefecture. Yokohama is a city within Kanagawa Prefecture.
※ Yokohama is NOT a prefecture. Yokohama is a city within Kanagawa Prefecture.
I can't believe him, Tsukki. ※ Yokohama is NOT a prefecture. Yokohama is a city within Kanagawa Prefecture.
Anyway, Tokyo is close to Yokohama.
I wonder if I can bike to it from here.
This is Nerima, Tokyo. There's no way you can actually bike there. ※ Nerima to Yokohama -> ~34km or ~21miles
No, I will go to the volleyball festival.
Yokohama should be under Tokyo.
Yokohama is to the left of Tokyo.
That's wrong! On Tokyo's left is Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji is diagonal to Tokyo, dumbass!
I don't understand what's going on anymore.
I absolutely don't want to go with these troublesome guys.
Speaking of troublesome people, there are others too.
All right~ Done with setting up the futons.
Out of the way, out of the way!
Rolling Thunder!!!
That was a magnificent receive!
Hey! Don't be so reckless after we just put out the futons!
It's because we finished putting out them out that I can now enjoy myself like a real man, Chikara!
As expected of you, Noya-san. How manly.
That's not being a man - that's acting like a child.
Good job.
- Kiyoko-san! - Kiyoko-san!
I was told to tell you that there's going to be a meeting after dinner.
Roger that!
You look as beauitful as ever, Kiyoko-san.
It seems they want to talk to us about a volleyball festival.
She's so cold. It turns me on.
Um, what exactly is a volleyball festival?
Well, it seems to be an event for high school volleyball fans held at Yokohama.
Just now, the captains got together to discuss which high school is going.
What kind of event could it be?
Isn't it obvious? It's 'volleyball' and a 'festival', right?
It means there'll be cotton candy, takoyaki, and candy apples - all in the shape of volleyballs.
Everything you just said are things you can eat?
When you think of a festival, you really do think of a bon dance.
Since it's a volleyball festival, there has to be a volleyball song. Right, Kiyoko-san?
Eh?
You know a volleyball song, Shimizu-senpai?
Of course I've never heard of one.
Ryuu, what on earth is a volleyball song?
Well then, Noya-san, can you hold this for me?
O-okay.
♫ When you spike, your spike goes *DON DON-GADON* ♫
♫ Your receive goes *PON* ♫
♫ Your block goes *DON* ♫
♫ Your toss goes *PYON* ♫
What'd you think?
That volleyball song is super. Teach it to me!
No problem! Leave it to me.
Just don't forget about the meeting later.
W-wait, Kiyoko-san?
What is it?
Did you happen... to bring a yukata? ※ A yukata is a casual summer kimono.
※ A yukata is a casual summer kimono.
Eh? Of course I wouldn't bring a yukata to a training camp. ※ A yukata is a casual summer kimono.
Hey~ The third-years are done. Second-years, go use the bath next.
Yes, sir!
Sounds like the volleyball festival is gonna be fun.
Doesn't it?
I can already imagine Kiyoko-san's wonderful yukata in my mind.
Ahhh~ That was relaxing.
Taking a bath after working up a sweat sure feels great.
It kinda feels like my heart has gotten lighter.
Why is there silence?
Asahi-san.
When you let your hair down, you look like an ochimusha. ※ Ochimusha - a defeated samurai that has fled battle
For you to actually say your heart feels lighter...
To me, it sounds like you're prepared to commit seppuku. ※ Seppuku - ritual suicide by disembowelment
That's terrible.
Daichi, when the captains had to gather earlier, what was that volleyball festival about?
Ah. It seems to be a high school volleyball event that'll be held at Pacifico Yokohama.
The Fukurodani Group's training camp received an invitation.
By invitation, you mean to watch the event?
Not exactly. Not as spectators, but as performers.
Think about it. What better way is there to pump up volleyball fans?
And what do they mean by perform?
What are you saying?
It's obviously going to be a recitation drama.
A recitation drama?
Well, think about it. Isn't that kind of act interesting?
That's impossible for me.
With my nerves, a recitation drama is absolutely impossible.
You'll be fine, Asahi. You always manage to calm down before matches.
Ah, well that might be true...
Come on, you should say it out loud.
Right here?
If you don't do it here, then when will you do it?
Right now?
Come on, everyone's waiting.
Everyone?
Yeah.
See? Everyone.
I-I don't feel well-
Get a grip.
I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but overhear.
Tsukishima.
Oh, are you talking about the volleyball festival?
Yes.
I don't want to go.
They were saying something about candy apples, recitation dramas, and a volleyball song.
And I really can't dance.
So it was the dancing you're trying to get out of?
Please don't misunderstand.
♫ When you spike, your spike goes *DON DON-GADON* ♫
♫ Your receive goes *PON* ♫
♫ Your block goes *BAN* ♫
♫ Your toss goes *PYON* ♫
I'm absolutely not dancing to that!
Also, I won't participate in the recitation drama either.
Same with me. Recitation dramas are embarrassing.
The Fukurodani Group was the one who was asked to attend, right?
In that case, shouldn't the school with the nationally ranked ace go?
You do have a point there.
Apparently, that nationally ranked ace is pretty particular.
I'm getting a bad feeling...
Hey, Hey, Hey.
- Tsukki, how naive of you. - Just as I thought.
Bokuto-san, you're as lively as ever.
Also, could you not call me Tsukki?
Then, Glasses-kun.
My name happens to be Tsukishima.
Then, Tsukki Tsukishima Glasses-kun!
Why has my surname become a middle name?
No need to worry about the small stuff.
Bokuto-san, please behave yourself and stop bothering first-years.
I apologize for bothering you with this commotion.
This is the first time we are properly talking, isn't it?
Hello, I'm Akaashi from Fukurodani Academy.
Ah, pleased to meet you. I'm Sawamura from Karasuno.
I heard our Tsukishima has been with you during the extra night practices.
It's nothing.
Bokuto is the one who keeps having Tsukishima-kun block for him.
No, no, no.
Somehow, it sounds like you two have become our guardians.
Akaashi, don't treat me like a child!
Yes, yes, I understand.
Come on, we're leaving now, Bokuto-san.
Please excuse us.
See you later!
Please wait.
What is it, Tsukki?
Um, it's about the volleyball festival.
Is it possible for Fukurodani to attend?
We're not very good with crowds.
Sorry but it sounds troublesome, especially the recitation drama.
If no one wants to do it, we should make it a penalty.
And that's what was suggested at the captains meeting.
The training camp's team with the most wins gets to decide if they want to go or not.
It'll be us, huh.
So there you have it, Tsukki.
Let's have the loser freak out in front of an audience.
Bokuto-san, your wording...
Isn't that cowardly?
What?
Hey, Tsukishima...
I would understand if this was something that decided from the start.
But if it's a penalty you only now just thought of, I won't accept it.
What was that?!
Akaashi, what exactly does Tsukki mean by that?
For example, let's say the punishment game was 'rock-paper-scissors'.
After winning, it would be unfair for the winner to say "Since you lost, you have to get me ice cream".
That would be unfair. I can't forgive that.
By the way, Bokuto-san happened to do this very thing yesterday to a first year-
Tsukki, I get where you're coming from.
After dinner, the captains will settle this fairly.
So this guy actually managed to turn such a poor situation in his favor.
The volleyball festival... I'll go even if I have to bike there!
A volleyball fighting tournament!
I can't believe I might have to go to an event with Hinata and Kageyama.
I don't want to lose my youth at the restroom!
Yachi-san looks worried.
A recitation drama is impossible.
Asahi, pull yourself together.
- We'll get to see ... - ...Kiyoko's yukata!
You won't.
Honestly, I would be fine either way.
Starting with rock - Rock, Paper, Scissors
All right!~ Hey, hey, hey.
Damn it all!
Our captain has lost?!
I really wanted to go to the volleyball festival!
Eh? Eh? Eh? Eh? It's the losers who get to go though.
That's what it was? Bokuto-san, is it okay for us to go?
Yeah, even if you get nervous in front of the crowd, feel free to go all out.
All right! We can go to the volleyball festival, Kageyama.
Yeah! Let's get fired up.
H-Huh? Yachi-san, your face looks grim.
What do I do? What will I do if I can't leave the restroom at Pacifico Yokohama?
Ah, I've got it! Shimizu-senpai?
What is it?
Would it be all right for me to go to the restroom with you?
Eh? Right now?
Not now - at Pacifico Yokohama.
I guess that would be fine...
Thank you very much! I'm so relieved.
I won't ever forget your kindness!
I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems like she's no longer worried.
We'll finally get to see...
Kiyoko-san wearing a yukata.
I've already said that I didn't bring a yukata with me.
Eh?
Noya-san...?
Yeah?
How much money did you bring?
Huh? Ah? 1200 yen.
Then together, we only have 2500 yen.
Wait, I've got it.
She can borrow my older sister's yukata!
That's it, Ryuu!
Rest assured, Kiyoko-san. We'll definitely get you a yukata for the festival.
Now is a great time to be alive. Right, Ryuu?
Yeah, and we'll get to see it.
You two definitely won't.
It looks like Karasuno's members are happy.
What? I'm not at all jealous.
Heh-heh-heh-heh-heh
Well, since we were already aiming for nationals,
it'll be a good chance to get used to a huge crowd and large gym.
Huh?
I see! Tsukishima, you say something good every now and then.
All right, let's go to Pafico Yokohama!
It's Pacifico.
In any case, Great Ace-san should attend to his studies while we go to the event-
Wait just one moment!
Hm? Is something wrong?
I'll go. I'm going. I'm going too. If I don't, then who will?
I'll show you my magnificent recitation drama.
Ehh? We really wanted to go.
But if the star Bokuto-san doesn't go, the audience won't be pleased.
It's a shame, but we'll just go to school...
Hey Karasuno guys, we won't lose.
We'll have a match to see who can appeal to the audience the most.
As you wish!
We absolutely won't lose.
Hold on, don't say unnecessary things.
Okay! Let's give it our all!
Yes, sir!
And there you have it. Bokuto-san's ridiculous idea ended up being pointless.
In the end, it's come to this, huh?
So we really are going to the volleyball festival.
I have to swallow 'people'. ※ A Japanese way to calm down is writing 人 (people) on your palm three times and then swallowing them
※ A Japanese way to calm down is writing 人 (people) on your palm three times and then swallowing them
People, people, people, people, people... ※ A Japanese way to calm down is writing 人 (people) on your palm three times and then swallowing them
Hey! Stop being so pessimistic.
At Spring High, there's going to be 10,000 people at Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium.
Still...
Karasuno, cha-cha-cha
Karasuno
Karasuno!
- Second floor too! - Karasuno!
Karasuno!
- Cha-cha-cha! Karasuno!
It feels... it feels like I can hear energetic voices.
- Karasuno! It feels... it feels like I can hear energetic voices.
It feels... it feels like I can hear energetic voices.

The hallucination... it's getting louder.

This isn't a hallucination, Asahi.
- Karasuno! This isn't a hallucination, Asahi.
This isn't a hallucination, Asahi.

As third-years, this is our last fight for Spring High.
