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?

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?

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.

After suffering a heartbreaking loss to Aoba Johsai, the third years must decide if they will retire or participate in the spring tournament. Kageyama and Hinata vent their frustration on the court after their practice has been cancelled. The winner of the fall tournament is revealed, and Karasuno begins their first real practice to get ready for the spring tournament.

The week-long training camp is finally on its last day. Karasuno's final opponent is Fukurodani High School, and they're determined to win at least one set against the powerhouse school. Are they going to be able to show the fruits of their labor?

The training camp comes to a close with a barbeque battle. Bokuto talks about rivals from all over the country and the prepare for the upcoming Spring Miyazaki Prefectural Tournament.

Karasuno is finally playing in the qualifier prelims. Their first opponent is the 4th best team from the Interhigh prelims, Johzenji High School. Their motto is to play. What will Karasuno do against their rather unconventional playing method?

Karasuno manages to make it to the semi-finals. Which ever team wins the match between Aoba Johsai and Date Tech will be their next opponent. Date Tech was considered to be the underdog against Oikawa and Aoba Johsai, but they have a new strength on their side...

The final set of the qualifier semi-finals continues with Karasuno and Seijoh. As the teams go neck and neck, both teams put everything they have into this final set.

Underway into the second match, Karasuno tries to attack, but Shiratorizawa's middle blocker is a Guess Monster. Using fast intuition, he keeps blocking all of their attempts. As he blocked Karasuno's spikes one after another, Tsukki calmly assesses the situation for a counter-attack.

Karasuno manages to win the fourth set. The fifth set begins, but has a different set of rules: whoever gets 15 points first wins. Keishin sees that Kageyama is exhausted, and switches him out with Sugawara. Determined to hold up his end, Sugawara shows how he has improved.
