13

Ahead of the second day of Nationals, Karasuno prepares to face Inarizaki High, the Inter-High runner-up. Coach Ukai highlights key opponents, particularly Atsumu Miya, who previously attended the Youth Training Camp with Kageyama. The team realizes the difficulty of the match, which intensifies when they discover Atsumu’s twin brother, Osamu, is also on the roster. Meanwhile, Tanaka meets Kanoka to resolve a prior misunderstanding. Upon entering the court, Karasuno encounters loud support for Inarizaki. Atsumu Miya serves powerfully after silencing the crowd to maintain focus, while Inarizaki fans boo Karasuno during their service turn. Hinata jumps higher than ever but forgets to spike, drawing criticism from Kageyama. Despite this, Inarizaki players are impressed by his experimental approach and watch him closely.
