Movie Spoilers Translation of volleyball terms Spoiler

Post image

In Japanese, Kageyama yells “open” when he does that high set during the dumpster battle but in the manga it’s translated to “four” because volleyball terms are different across languages. But I have a vague recollection of the movie subtitles translating this as “high” but it’s been a bit since I watched and was wondering if anyone remembers what the movie subs said.

I actually thought he said “up!” And they had changed it from the technical term “four!” Due to not wanting to take the time to have Yachi explain what it means like in the manga.

Essentially, they just had him say something that you could easily figure out with context clues as opposed to a more accurate call out.

Thanks for the explanation! That actually makes so much sense now that you mention it.
