“The fallen mighty man, the flightless crow.” Karasuno High School, as it was once called, has finally reached the “top” stage. It’s the final of the spring high school volleyball Miyagi Prefecture representative deciding match. Their opponent is Shiratorizawa Gakuen High School, home to super high school class ace Wakatoshi Ushijima. From the beginning of the match, Ushijima’s powerful spikes put Karasuno in trouble.
Even his guardian Nishitani fails to receive the left-handed attack, which he is not used to, so he counters with a “total defense” that blocks in a way that limits the opponent’s attack course. However, he was shown the power of an absolute champion and lost the first set.
In the second set, Karasuno showed a desperate attack, but Shiratorizawa’s middle blocker Tendo stood in their way. He declares that Blocks are meant to be knocked down, not stopped,'' and Tendo, who is known as
GUESS MONSTER,” uses his sharp reading and intuition to knock down all the spikes. Meanwhile, Tsukishima was the only one calmly staring at the opponent’s court. When “total defense” finally begins to function, it becomes a battle for deuce.
During the tense match, Tsukishima reminisces, saying, “There’s no way I can beat Ushiwaka.” Tsukishima’s strength was that he could always analyze things calmly, but at the same time his weakness was that he made too many realistic decisions.
However, Tsukishima is inspired by the team’s never-give-up attitude. Even though she can’t completely block him, with one touch, she builds up her frustration towards Shiratorizawa. And then the time came.
“I was waiting for a slight burst of irritation and impatience.”
Tsukishima didn’t miss a momentary opportunity and successfully blocked Ushijima’s attack. There was a continuation of the recollection. “There’s no way I can beat Ushiwaka. I’m just trying to stop him at least a few times.” The normally calm Tsukishima let out an unimaginable roar and won the second set. This is one of the famous scenes in the work where Tsukishima awakens.
