He tries to assure himself that this is just like the practice games but is unable to believe his own assurance and right away becomes nervous at the thought of trying to measure up to Daichi. Ennoshita reflects on how he had abandoned the volleyball club when he was a first-year, and decides that he would not run away from this match.

Date Tech is up against Aoba Johsai. Karasuno observes from the stands, and sees the new setter, the tall but inexperienced Koganegawa, on the court along with the remaining members of the team they played against last time.

Aoba Jōsai starts the match with Oikawa's serve, and team is able to recognise that Karasuno have improved immensely as a team. Despite Hinata and Kageyama's new quick having been altered slightly, the Seijoh third-years are able to think of a tactic to narrow its path to one they can handle more effectively.

Shintarō ItogaTaku KishimotoFebruary 28, 2016 (2016-02-28)
Karasuno recognises that Kyōtani is a double-edged sword in the match: he makes just as many mistakes as he does attacks, and if Aoba Johsai does not use him successfully, his presence in the game can backfire their intentions to increase their offensive power. Sugawara is subbed into the game to help Karasuno gain more points, but is soon switched back out when the formation changes. Coach Ukai considers bringing Yamaguchi in as a pinch server to win the second set from Aoba Johsai.
4722"The Former Coward's Fight"

Yamaguchi is subbed in as the pinch server and his serves are able to gain Karasuno more points. The gap between the two teams have shrunk, but Oikawa's strong serves win Aoba Johsai the second set. As the teams are switching sides, Yamaguchi marvels how amazing Oikawa's serves are and Hinata compliments that his are amazing as well. Ryuunosuke and Nishinoya approach and compliment Yamaguchi on his serves. Though grateful, Yamaguchi feels that only half of his serves were good. Ryuunosuke states that they should then celebrate the ones he felt were good and he should save his concerns for later. Now they have to get to the third set to determine the winners.

With the help of Yahaba, he does get back on to continue scoring points against Karasuno, and is finally able to play with Aoba Johsai as a teammate. Daichi manages to receive the serve, but it flies over to Seijoh's side. Kindaichi reflects back to the practices he had with Oikawa. They perform the sharp wipe successfully in the match, and Kageyama notes that Kindaichi's movements are different from the Interhigh. To counteract this, Kageyama and Hinata execute their quick, but it is too close to the net; however, Hinata is able to hit the ball directly down to gain a point for the team.
4924"The Absolute Limit Switch"
Transliteration: "Kyokugen suitchi" (Japanese: 極限スイッチ)
Susumu MitsunakaTaku KishimotoMarch 20, 2016 (2016-03-20)
It is the last set, and Karasuno is in the lead. Aoba Johsai and Karasuno try their hardest to win, with the thought that the strongest six would be the ones who claim victory. But Karasuno triumphs, as they win the match with Kageyama and Hinata's quick spike. Oikawa reflects that it is impossible for someone with no natural talent to beat any volleyball genius, no matter how much he trains, strategize or who his teammates are, but he will continue on the path ahead of him with everything he's got.
5025"Declaration of War"

Later on, Ushijima approaches Karasuno at the entrance of the gymnasium, and Hinata and Kageyama vow to beat Shiratorizawa to make it to the nationals.
