The latest episode of “Haikyuu!!” Season 3 has just aired and it featured the last final set of the match between Karasuno High and Shiratorizawa Acadamy. The action-packed episode promised a lot of development from the characters and the game.
“Haikyuu!!” Season 3 episode 8, which was titled “An Annoying Guy” featured Hinata’s development as well as the other players of Karasuno’s volleyball team. Coming back to the game after a substitution, Hinata showed off a lot of new moves that threw off Shiratorizawa. Though the moves were reckless and unplanned, it had secured points for Karasuno.
The first instance was when Hinata unexpectedly received a spike, accidentally using his cheek, which made Karasuno make a set and point. Next one was when Hinata shockingly blocked Ushijima’s spike on his own after being told by his coach to implement the plate block technique, which he actually misinterpreted but at least made Karasuno gain another point. Once Kageyama returned to the set, replacing Sugawara, Hinata charges at him during gameplay for one of their signature quicks that cost Shiratorizawa a point.
With the monstrous progress, Karasuno was making in "Haikyuu!!" Season 3 Episode 8, Shiratorizawa’s coach started to worry. Even Ushijima who never doubted that his team will ever lose is starting to question the outcome of the game. But that did not discourage Shiratorizawa as they continued to pummel Karasuno with powerful attacks.
Both teams retaliated hard with numerous long volleys occurring in the last parts of the final set. With the final set ending up once again in a deuce, the tension has heightened. Shiratorizawa was able to get match point with 15-14.
But as the episode ends and the future of the set seemed bleak for Karasuno, their other genius player Tsukishima has finally returned. He was injured in the earlier set and was forced to sit out on the other sets. Will his comeback help Karasuno win the final match against Shiratorizawa?
“Haikyuu!!” Season 3 Episode 9, titled “The Volleyball Idiots” will be aired this weekend. It is the second to the last episode of the current season.
