Who will Karasuno play against after Nekoma?
Karasuno will face Kamomedai High School in the quarter-finals.
The post-credits scene reveals Karasuno’s next opponents. The fight will be covered in the second part of the movie. Kamonedai’s Ace Kōrai Hoshiumi is almost the same height as Hinata, and they both look up to the Tiny Giant. Additionally, Kōrai was invited to the All-Japan Youth Intensive Training Camp.
Kamonedai’s volleyball team focuses mostly on serving, blocking, and mental toughness. Five of their six starting players employ a jump serve or jump floater, and Shimada describes three of them (Hoshiumi, Hirugami, and Suwa) as having especially “nasty” serves.
Furthermore, their blocking is among the best in the nation, and they employ the same strategy of “read blocking” as Date Tech. Their setter, Aikichi Suwa, is the captain of the team.
