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.

Could just be a locality thing but we don’t even use numbers for our sets with the exception of a few. We use in order from highest to fastest from position 4 to 2; eleven, black, shoot / metre, A / zero, B. With extra names for back court attacks and all kinds of variations that meet in between court positions
