Former Karasuno members appear to cheer on the new team, impressed by their growth. Kageyama, in particular, attracts attention for his superior technique and sharp game sense. Meanwhile, Atsumu Miya observes the match. Tsubakihara perseveres, but just when they seem to have broken through Karasuno's defenses, Hinata manages to keep the ball in play by receiving it with his chest. Asahi follows up with a spike to even the score 18-18. Though Hinata still has trouble finding the right position to receive, his improvements are becoming noticeable to his teammates. Tsubakihara's new player Himekawa is switched in as a pinch server at a crucial moment. Under pressure, Himekawa accidentally underserves the ball into Teradomari's head, allowing Karasuno to win the set. The second set also ends with Karasuno in the lead, 15-14. Himekawa is switched again, but this time he successfully pulls off a ceiling serve. Daichi completely misses the ball because of the gymnasium lights, allowing Tsubakihara to regain some momentum. Karasuno initially struggles with the serve, but they soon adapt and halt Tsubakihara's momentum, making their comeback. The game continues in an intense rally with both teams scoring back and forth. With the score at 23-23, Karasuno makes a miscoordination but Daichi saves it just in time to put his team at match point. For the last play, Sugawara joins the match as the pinch server, aiming to cause a disarray in their opponent's formation. The match ends with a finishing blow from Karasuno's ace, Asahi, and Karasuno moves on to the second round. (Source: Wikipedia)
