The two volleyball teams are competing in the National Volleyball Tournament, an aspiration the schools have harbored for generations, starting with Coach Ukai and Coach Nekomata, and ending with the current generation.
It’s appropriate, then, that all their hard work has led to the big screen. The prize will be hotly contested, and we can expect both teams to go even harder than usual, leading to some of the greatest sequences from the franchise.
Honestly, Haikyuu!! in the cinema has been special. And even though the film ignores two of the franchise’s best characters, it still hypes the viewers with the movie’s ending and the exciting post-credit scene.
