Aired on July 20, 2014

16
Karasuno’s boys’ team secures a 25-12 victory in the first set, maintaining focus after a serious reminder from the captain’s old friend. They follow up with a 25-14 win in the second set, aided by five quick service aces from Kageyama. In contrast, the girls’ team loses in two sets and questions their performance. Following promises to the defeated players, the freshmen learn that Karasuno was previously shut down by their second-round opponent, Dateko, just three months ago. Ukai retains the lineup from the first game, and Yu delivers a morale-boosting speech to the upperclassmen. The stage is now set for the second match against the formidable Iron Wall of Dateko.
