Kageyama and Hinata achieve synchronization as Kageyama’s sets consistently reach Hinata, forcing Tsukishima to adjust his blocking strategy. This tactical shift allows Tanaka to operate freely on the opposite side, enabling the trio of Kageyama, Hinata, and Ryuunosuke to secure victory in the 3-on-3 first-year match. Following this win, Kageyama and Hinata are officially recognized as team members. Advisor Ittetsu Takeda then arrives to announce an arranged practice match against Aoba Johsai, stipulating that Tobio Kageyama must serve as the setter for the entire duration of the game.
