With Karasuno through to the next round, Haikyuu!! To The Top, focuses on the other team’s progress. Fukurodani is playing their first game against Eiwa High School. While Fukurodani falls behind two points, Bokuto is in one of his moods. The reason behind his bad mood? He wanted to play in the big stadium. Elsewhere, Daichi introduces the first years to Tashiro and Kurokawa. Both are former captains of the team. Later, Karasuno eats bento while watching Nekoma play Kiyokawa. The team ace, Ryoji Yamazaki, is exhausted by Nekoma’s defense. After a brief rally, Nekoma wins, advancing to round 2. 

Hinata meets Hoshiumi

The moment I have been waiting for arrived. After watching Fukurodani win their match, Hinata sees Hoshiumi for the first time. The two quickly stare each other down. Kageyama interrupts them and introduces Hoshiumi. He asks Hinata his position, height, and running vertical. Hoshiumi is happy to know that he’s taller and has a higher jump. Karasuno watch as Hoshiumi dominates the game. Hinata even feels the need to get a closer look. Hinata has always had to accept challenges from players taller than him. How will he respond to a player around his height but with greater skill? Kamomedai win.

With Karasuno, Nekoma, Fukurodani, and Kamomedai moving to the next round, matches will only get harder. I’m excited about the possible match between Karasuno and Kamomedai. It seems like Karasuno is the better team but Kamomedai has the best player, Hoshiumi

So are any of you excited to see Hinata verses Hoshiumi?
