Volleyball after school.

Tournament results

Karasuno is eliminated from Nationals, entering the Top 8 of Japan's best teams. The third-years (Daichi, Suga, Asahi) cry, realizing it's their last official match for the school, but they leave with their heads held high. For Hinata, this defeat becomes a crucial life lesson: to win, you need to take care of your body. It was this loss that motivated him to move to Brazil in the future.

Quarterfinals: Crash vs. Kamomedai and Korai Hoshiumi

The match that determined the title of "Little Giant" of the modern era. Karasuno faced Kamomedai, a team with a perfectly structured blocking system and an ace named Korai Hoshiumi (who is also short, but jumps even higher than Hinata and possesses impeccable technique).
• Kamomedai's blocks repeatedly stop Karasuno, but Hinata and Kageyama find new angles to attack. Hinata has the best match of his life, becoming unstoppable.
• Tragedy of the match: In the midst of the third, decisive set, Hinata develops a high fever due to exhaustion. The coach and doctors forcibly remove him from the game. Hinata leaves the court in tears.
• Almost immediately after, Tsukishima's leg cramps and he too leaves the field. Left without two key players, Karasuno fights desperately, but loses the match.

3. Round 3: "Battle at the Garbage Dump" vs. Nekom

The long-awaited official match against their main historical rivals and friends, Tokyo's Nekoma High School. It's a clash of styles: Karasuno's absolute attack versus Kenma's absolute defense (the "link brain").
• Kenma devises a strategy to completely trap Hinata on the court, preventing him from getting a running start for his jump.
• Hinata is literally "suffocated" without the will to attack, but finds a way out by using a high jump from a standing position (which he learned at the first-year training camp).
• Karasuno breaks Nekoma's defense. The match ends symbolically: at the very end, the ball simply slips from Kenma's sweaty, exhausted hands. Karasuno wins, and for the first time in his life, Kenma sincerely thanks Hinata for making volleyball fun.

2. Round 2: Battle with the Favorites – Inarizaki

One of the longest and most intense matches in anime. Karasuno faces the runners-up, Inarizaki High School.
• This team includes the Miya twin brothers (Atsumu and Osamu), who manage to copy the “divine speed” of Hinata and Kageyama right during the match.
• Karasuno is under pressure from the entire stadium and the powerful orchestra supporting the opponents.
• Key Moment: At a critical moment in the match, when everyone is physically exhausted, Hinata makes an unthinkable, perfect defensive catch, saving the team. This save turns the game around morally. Karasuno snatches victory in a dramatic third set.

1. First Round: Warm-up vs. Tsubakihara

In their debut match in the massive arena, Karasuno faces stress and an unfamiliar environment. At first, Kageyama can't calculate the ceiling height for passes, and Hinata becomes disoriented. However, the team quickly adapts. In this game, Karasuno tests their new synchronized attacks on a large scale for the first time and wins 2-0, advancing to the next round.

The National Tournament (Spring Interhigh Championship) is the culmination of the entire original storyline of "Volleyball!!," a journey Karasuno has been working hard to reach. The team enters the tournament in Tokyo as dark horses and underdogs, but it makes the whole country talk about them.
Here's a timeline and key events of their journey on the Nationals before the timeskip:

What happened during the timeskip? (School years)

After the manga's main plot (the match against Kamomedai at Nationals), the story jumps ahead to 2018–2021. However, flashbacks and additional chapters show what happened at Karasuno during the remainder of their school years (Hinata and Kageyama's 2nd and 3rd grades):
• Generational change: Daichi, Sugawara, and Asahi graduated. Ennoshita took over the captaincy (in Hinata's second year), and Tanaka became the team captain in his third year.
• New Nationals: In their second year, Karasuno managed to qualify for the Nationals again, but lost in the third round to Team Inarizaki (whom they got revenge on for the past).
• Senior Year: In their third and final year, Hinata and Kageyama led the team to Nationals for the third consecutive year. They reached the semifinals, where they lost to the team led by Sakusa (Itachiyama High School), finishing third in the country.
• Hinata and Kageyama's Rivalry: Throughout their three years of high school, they could never decide who was the toughest, constantly competing in everything from scoring goals to eating lunch the fastest.
• Hinata's Decision: Realizing that he lacks the foundation and physical strength to play professional volleyball in Japan due to his height, Hinata makes a radical decision. Immediately after graduation, he decides to go to Brazil to play beach volleyball and improve his skills to the absolute top.

Brief plot

Middle school student Shoyo Hinata accidentally sees a national championship match on television and falls in love with volleyball. He is inspired by the ace of the Karasuno High School team, nicknamed "Little Giant" for his incredible leaps despite his short stature. Hinata, also short, decides to follow in his footsteps.
In middle school, he doesn't have a full-fledged team, but in his only tournament, he loses miserably to the brilliant and egotistical setter Tobio Kageyama, known as the "King of the Court." Hinata vows to surpass him.
Upon entering Karasuno High School, Hinata is horrified to discover that Kageyama has also enrolled. Former enemies are forced to become teammates. Combining Hinata's insane speed and Kageyama's perfect passing, they form the legendary "Quick Attack." Together with the resurgent Karasuno team (formerly known as the "Fallen Crows"), they endure grueling practices, crushing defeats, and epic matches to qualify for the National Championship and restore their school to its former glory.

2022, for the Volleyball World Championship in Rome.
• Is Hinata moving to Brazil/Italy? No, he's moving to the Brazilian championship—playing for the top club Asas São Paulo.
• Final: Hinata and Kageyama find themselves on opposite sides of the net again on the international stage (Kageyama is now playing for Italian club Ali Roma). They high-five each other over the net before the game begins, showing that their eternal rivalry has reached a global level and will never end.

World level and the Olympics (2021)

• National Team: Immediately after this triumph, Hinata and Kageyama are both part of the Japanese men's national volleyball team.
• Tokyo Olympics: At the Olympics, they play on the same side of the court against their old friend, Tooru Oikawa, who plays for the Argentina national team. Japan defeats Argentina (the score of the match is not revealed, but a highlight is shown).

The Main Match: The Showdown of the Century

The central event after Brazil is the official V-League match: MSBY Black Jackals vs. Schweiden Adlers (the teams of Kageyama, Ushijima and Hoshiumi).
• Plot meaning: This is the culmination of the entire manga. The show that all the grown-up characters have been waiting for (almost all the former players of Karasuno, Nekoma, Aoba Johsai, etc. are sitting in the stands).
• Result: In a very tough, incredibly beautiful battle, Hinata's team (Black Jackals) wins with a score of 3:1 in sets. Hinata finally takes full revenge on Kageyama for the defeat in middle school. By the end of the match, the score of their personal meetings in life becomes 1096 victories for Kageyama and 1100 for Hinata.

What club did you end up at and how did you play?

• Club: MSBY Black Jackals. This is a flashy, attacking and media team. Hinata plays there under number 21 as an Opposite Spiker.
• His teammates are Kotaro Bokuto, Atsumu Miya, and Kiyomi Sakusa. Atsumu fulfilled his school promise and became Hinata's personal setter.
• Playing Style ("How"): In Brazil, Hinata earned the nickname "Ninja Shoyo." Thanks to beach volleyball, he learned to do absolutely everything. Now he perfectly receives the most difficult serves from Kageyama and Ushijima, passes jump passes, scores from any awkward position, and deceives the blocker using the wind (which is absent in the gym, but his biomechanics and body balance have become perfect). He is no longer "just bait," but a formidable weapon in his own right.
