Shouyou Hinata is enamored with volleyball; he is in the 3rd year of middle-school, and will not be discouraged by the fact that he has no teammates to play with. He finally scrapes together a team to enter his first and last official tournament.

Hinata and Kageyama have second-year Tanaka on their side of the three-on-three match against first-years Tsukishima and Yamaguchi and third-year team-captain Sawamura. Tsukishima keeps razzing Kageyama, but is a high wall of defense to overcome.

His term of suspension having been served, second-year Nishinoya, the "guardian god" of Karasuno Volleyball Club shows up to among club-members during practice. On the other hand, Takeda is acutely aware of the need of a coach after the Seijoh match. He tenaciously requests Ukai Keishin, grandson of the illustrious coach Ukai, to coach the team. However...

The Karasuno Volleyball Club is at training camp, getting ready for the practice-match against Nekoma and for the Interhigh preliminaries. Even while the team's intense training is showing promising results, Keishin is in a quandary: Who will he choose as setter against Nekoma, Kageyama or Sugawara?

The second match of Interhigh preliminaries has begun. Azumane has a history with Date Tech, but he is determined to rise to the occasion. Date Tech's tactic is to throw their opponent off kilter with their serves - but Karasuno focuses on receives. The wall of Date Tech looms high; what will Karasuno do?

Thanks to Hinata and Kageyama's cornerstone "freak quicks," Karasuno is in the lead against Date Tech. But with Aone blocking, Date Tech starts catching up to Karasuno. This is when the ace Azumane must prove his worth. Will Azumane blast through Date's iron wall?

The 3rd round Interhigh match against Aoba Johsai has begun. Without wasting any time, Kageyama and Oikawa start a setter battle. Well-experienced as a team, Aoba Johsai scores point after point against Karasuno with Oikawa's serves. Kageyama starts to panic. It's then that Karasuno's mood-maker, Tanak gets riled up. After seeing that, Oikawa...

After being subbed back in Kageyama begins to try to communicate with each of his teammates. He begins to learn where the best setting point is for each of them, and Tsukishima comes up with a new attack that proves Karasuno can be a threat from all fronts.

Kageyama begins to match Toru point for point. The teams become dead even at 25 a piece. Long sets begin to drain both teams, and Toru acknowledges that Kageyama has realized what teamwork is all about and is no longer the solitary king. The game winning points are shown.

The episode follows the progress of Lev Haiba, a first-year Middle Blocker who aspires to become Nekoma's ace.

After losing to Aoba Johsai at the Interhigh, the Karasuno High Volleyball Team is working their hardest toward the Spring Tournament. In the meantime, it's decided that they'll be heading to Tokyo for a training camp with Nekoma High and a handful of other powerful schools. They team is practicing hard, and not day during their run, Hinata and Kageyama get too excited and end up lost, and end up meeting someone rather unexpected...

Yachi joins the Karasuno High School volleyball team. Despite being rather nervous still, she finally starts to notice the charm of the team. However, she has a hard time telling her mother that she's becoming the manager of the volleyball team. Seeing that, Hinata...

The second day of the Tokyo away games. Karasuno isn't able to get a single set against Nekoma, especially with their new player. Hinata and Kageyama's weirdo quick doesn't seem to work on the new Nekoma or the other powerhouse schools for long. Seeing this, Hinata makes a decision...

As the Karasuno High School Volleyball Team is trying to get ready for nationals, they receive word that Kageyama has been invited to the All-Japan Youth Training Camp. On top of that, Tsukishima had been invited to the Miyagi Prefecture Rookie Select Training Camp. Despite not being invited to the Miyagi Prefecture Rookie Select Training Camp, Hinata decides to show up anyway?!

In the Miyagi Prefecture qualifiers for the Spring Tournament, Karasuno High School Volleyball Team manages to defeat Shiratorizawa Academy in an intense battle and secures their spot in the national tournament. Meanwhile in the Tokyo qualifiers, Nekoma High School, Fukurodani High School, Nohebi Academy, and Itachiyama Academy fight for the 3 slots to go to nationals. Will Nekoma High School be able to secure their spot in the tournament? Will we see a rematch of Nekoma and Karasuno’s Battle of the Garbage Dump on a national level? The Tokyo qualifiers are about to begin!!

The training camp does another practice match with the 3rd year OB players from Shiratorizawa. Meanwhile, Kageyama and the others at the All-Japan youth camp were doing a practice match with everyone playing different positions. Both training camps were about to come to an end...

Hinata, Kageyama, and Tsukishima all come back from their training camps, and Karasuno had lined up a training match against Date Tech, the school with the strongest blockers in the prefecture. But after coming back from the training camp, Kageyama seems to be acting a bit strange...

In the first match at the Spring Tournament, Karasuno faces off against Tsubakihara Academy. At first, Kageyama isn’t able to get used to the new venue, but once he got the hang of things, he and Hinata do their quick attack and the crowd is in awe. Karasuno takes the lead in the match, but Tsubakihara has a rather unique secret weapon.

Because of Yamaguchi's service ace at the end of the first set, Karasuno is able to get set point first. However, Inarizaki then starts targeting Tanaka, who seems a bit off his game. How will Tanaka deal with this pressure?

Because Karasuno's plays become messy and the match's rhythm gets thrown off, they change setters. Sugawara goes onto the court in place of Kageyama and because he's always seen things from outside the court, he says he knows what's going on, and Karasuno starts their counterattack. Meanwhile, after seeing the match from the outside, there's a change in Kageyama as well.

Inarizaki starts to turn things around with Miya Atsumu's serves. Suddenly, there is a play that changes the flow of the game.

The game is now in a deuce with both teams are pushed to their limits to try to get that one final point. This match against Inarizaki brings out everything that both teams have to the very end!
