Haikyuu : The Unstoppable Force

Just when everyone hesitated, Yū Nishinoya in the back row also picked up the chance ball!

Tobio Kageyama quickly moved to the spot where the ball was falling and jumped to set it!

Was it…

In Akira's direction!!

Everyone on Mujinazaka High looked toward the direction of Kageyama's set, and they inexplicably felt a wave of exhaustion!!

They all felt a pang of sympathy for Akira across the net.

You, the setter—can you show some consideration??

Didn't you see your ace is completely drained??

And you're still setting to him??

Please, have some mercy!

Even if he were an old workhorse, you wouldn't push him like this!!

But that didn't change the reality—in this situation, they couldn't afford not to block at the net. All three of them moved quickly into position in front of the net!

Seeing Akira's upward approach, Mujinazaka's front-row blockers leapt together!!

Bang!

The sound of Akira's spike wasn't as thunderous as before.

But the ball still slipped past Mujinazaka's blockers and landed squarely within their boundary!

The signature spin he added to his spike made it nearly impossible to receive—Haruma Bishin, who dashed over to dig it, mishandled the ball completely!!

Tweet!

The referee's whistle blew from off the court!

Karasuno scores!!

But the spectators outside the venue—those who knew how drained Akira had looked—were visibly worried.

"Akira doesn't look good at all!"

"Can he still hang on through the rest of the match??"

"That level of perseverance! I thought he was out of it at the end of the last set! I can't believe he's still on his feet!"

"Yeah! I thought Coach Ukai would've subbed him out! He's been getting targeted non-stop!"

"Ugh, if it were me, I would've been done ages ago—but he's still going strong! Unbelievable!"

"This must be what it means to be an ace—even when you're completely spent, you still have to lead your team to the point!"

...

Seeing the score gap widen between Karasuno and themselves again, the players from Mujinazaka couldn't help but feel crushed.

They had believed that the first two sets were just a warm-up—foreshadowing for their comeback in this set!

During the break, they even joked about how this would be their moment—to lead all the way, just like Karasuno did earlier, and win the game!

But now, the brutal truth was slapping them in the face…

They weren't even close.

Even after being targeted for an entire game, Akira was still standing!!

Actually, it wasn't strange for Mujinazaka to feel this way.

In the last game, they really had gone after Akira with everything they had!!

Those spikes… those impossible receives… none of it was fake.

Akira had really pulled them off—all of them!

And sure, Mujinazaka had managed to sap some of his stamina.

But here's the catch…

Akira's endurance isn't as weak as they thought!!

On the contrary, his stamina far surpasses most players!

Even among Mujinazaka's roster, who take pride in their conditioning—if they had to compare themselves to Akira…

They'd all fall a bit short!!

So in the end, Mujinazaka's downfall came from one thing: they were misinformed.

They picked the wrong target…

So it's no surprise they're confused and frustrated!

...

Bang!

Kageyama's powerful jump serve again!

But after two intense rallies, his stamina and form were starting to slip a bit.

And this was already his third serve in a row, so…

Tweet!

The line judge raised the flag!

Out of bounds!

Point to Mujinazaka!!

Whoosh!

Seeing this, the Mujinazaka players finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If Karasuno had scored again, they honestly didn't know how they'd survive the rest of the set!

...

In Miyagi Prefecture, inside the Shiratorizawa student dorms.

"Whoa!!"

"He looks like he's about to drop dead out there!!"

Tendo's voice echoed through the room.

"Tendo-senpai…" Taichi Kawanishi looked at him helplessly and said:

"Since the last Set, you've been going on about how Akira's finished."

"But now…"

"He hasn't stopped scoring!"

"Spiking, blocking…"

"Nothing's been able to stop him!"

Hearing that, Tendo scratched his head, clearly agitated.

"But…"

"He looks completely worn out!"

"He was getting blatantly targeted by Mujinazaka earlier—you saw it, right?"

"How is he still going??"

"Don't tell me Mujinazaka is just letting him win on purpose!"

As soon as he said that, the dorm room fell silent.

No one had an answer.

"Maybe…"

"He's relying entirely on pure willpower??" Kawanishi said cautiously.

"Now that I think about it… that might really be the only explanation!"

Kenjirō Shirabu let out a sigh beside them and said helplessly:

"That's some terrifying determination…"

...

Thwack!

After Kageyama's service error, Mujinazaka caught up!

But during the next rotation, while Mujinazaka served, Karasuno's receive formation sprang into motion!

Eventually, Ryūnosuke Tanaka completed a flank spike and scored!!

Tweet!

The referee's whistle blew!

Karasuno's serve!

Now it was Akira's turn to serve!

Under the focused gaze of the crowd, Akira slowly walked toward the endline.

Everyone was wondering—did he still have the strength left to serve?

And what kind of serve would he go for?

Surely, that terrifying jump serve was out of the question…
