Overview
Atsumu and Osamu successfully imitated Hinata and Kageyama's oddball quick, leaving Karasuno shocked. The game continues and Asahi manages to score a spike and pull off a service ace thanks to Coach Ukai's advice. However the atmosphere for Karasuno is still tense as Atsumu and Osamu continue to bring lightning fast quicks that rival Hinata and Kageyama's. Hinata is anxious to score points but Atsumu is able to read him and completely block out his spike. The score is 13-10 with Inarizaki still in the lead.
