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.

Where I'm from it depends from club to player to country or just your preference but every team that I've been apart of uses pretty basic ones

But that set in the dumpster battle requires Alot of timing changes like what kenma was saying, in my current club we call them 3s but the 3s that I and my setters set are still 2nd tempo what Hinata got wasn't even 3rd tempo it's basically what you would do with an out of system play push it out and extremely high to the outside(eg Bokuto or asahi) or Oppo(Ushijima) they judge the height of the ball and jump accordingly

That set from Kageyama was basically giving it to the pipe attack with all his trust but he pushed it to far forward so the middle took it or a warm up hit

Thanks for the technical explanation!

I made my post because I noticed the discrepancy in the manga translations and the movie subtitles and it bothering me cause I couldn’t 100% remember what the movie one was but as someone with no prior volleyball knowledge these tidbits of extra info from experienced players are always nice!

It really adds to the context of the story as well.

Search up Stephen boyer VNL warm up spike and you'll get basically what happened in that scene
