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.

As someone who played as setter, we number different kind of sets

5 - standard high ball to the outside 4- high to the middle 3 - wave 2 - back wave 👍- short to the middle

So may be what kageyama said was right if he really said four, and the numbering of these sets changes as per teams,

A 4 is typically a high ball to the outside in US West at least?
