Who says you need to be tall to play volleyball when you can jump higher than anyone else? After losing his first and last volleyball match against Tobio Kageyama, 'the King of the Court,' Shoyo Hinata swears to become his rival after graduating middle school. But what happens...

The Tokyo training camp is halfway done and Karasuna sees results in the team. The new version of the Freak Quick isn't working, so Hinata goes to seek advice from Kotaro Bokuto.

Ever since he saw the legendary player known as "the Little Giant" compete at the national volleyball finals, Shoyo Hinata has been aiming to be the best volleyball player ever! He decides to join the team at the high school the Little Giant went to-and then surpass him. Who says you need to be tall to play volleyball when you can jump higher than anyone else?

The second set of the Miyagi Prefecture qualifier tournament continues as Tsukishima and Nishinoya lead the defense against Shiratorizawa! The game heats up in a tense back-and-forth-both teams refusing to give way to the other. Which team will manage to get a break point and pull away from the stalemate first?

Hinata and his teammates train their hearts out in preparation for the practice game against Nekoma, but they'll need to polish their receiving skills if they want to win.

Motivated by their heartbreaking loss to Aoba Johsai, Karasuno now works towards a new goal-the Spring Tournament! The team gears up for a trip to Tokyo for a training camp with some of the top teams in Tokyo, including Nekoma, but there's something they need to do first...pass their finals! Hinata, Kageyama, Nishinoya and Tanaka are all at risk of not being allowed to go. What are they going to do?

Karasun has defeated Thoru Oikawa and Aoba Johsai in practice matches, but it showed a fatal flaw, the lack of defense. They need a defense expert, a libero, which they have, but he was suspended for a week because of violent behavior, and he's even shorter than Hinata.

Karasuno fights their way through the preliminaries and wins, earning them a spot in the October qualifier rounds of the Spring Tournament. Their first opponent is a team of partiers from Johzenji whose motto is “Play hard”! They are a highly unorthodox team that improvises crazy attacks on the fly, leaving Karasuno baffled about how to counter them!

It's Karasuno versus Aoba Johsai in the Spring Tournament Qualifier semifinals, and Aoba Johsai has the upper hand at the end of the second set. Tadashi Yamaguchi is sent out as a pinch server to throw a wrench in the momentum of the game. Can he get past the painful memory of his past failures and close out the set for Karasuno?

The fifth set of the Miyagi Prefecture qualifier round finals continues. With Tsukishima out of the game, Karasuno's defense starts to fall apart. However, the team's determined to keep it together. With both opponents physically and mentally exhausted, which one will prevail and move on to nationals?
