Author's Note

Thank you for picking up Haikyu!! volume 31! I've been attending the Spring Tournament for several years now for research purposes. They even let me go down onto the courts in between the games to take pictures! I really appreciate it. To think that, one day, I would stand on Tokyo's Orange Court like this... Some things in life can be unexpected. But I kind of feel guilty about it.

Synopsis

Inarizaki’s Atsumu Miya has found a target to pick on, and he’s racking up service aces off of…Nishinoya?! Even though Karasuno is falling deeper and deeper into a hole during the second set, it’s still slowly chipping away at Inarizaki’s momentum. Will Karasuno manage to turn the tables and keep the dream of the dumpster battle alive?

Kita's grandma made him a sweater that says "Good luck Shinsuke". She tells him how she thought to write the text in English, but as it was too long and could have been a bother printing it, she changed it to kanji characters.

"Armageddon Day" film by Director Ennoshita.

Tsukishima and Kuroo have a conversation about the type of roles they would play in a "secret / evil organisation" world and Ennoshita appears, asking if they can film that movie next.

The location of this panel from Chapter 274 (where Kita and Aran are walking) is based off of pictures Furudate took on an unplanned trip to the Oita Prefecture.

Kita doesn't put his arms through his jersey because he doesn't like the static when he puts it on and takes it off. The rest of team are shocked to know Kita's weakness.

Trivia

• A bonus page included in Volume 31 formed the basis of a Drama CD audio drama entitled Find Kita-san's Weaknesses! that was given to customers in Japan who purchased the DVD/Blu-ray volumes four - six of Haikyū!! season four from the same online retailer.
