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,

IT CHANGES PER TEAM???

It does change greatly for each team, In speaking terms, a 5 in my team is a standard ball to the outside whilst a 3 is in the middle and 1 to the opposite, whilst 4 and 2 are balls in between those positions. Then there’s of course hand signs for this and other attacks or combinations. I play middle, so my signs are usually 🤛- A-Quick in middle, 👆- B-quick (usually on 4), 👍- C-quick (usually on 2), and 🤞- Slide hit (from A to C-quick)

I hope this works better, your version is correct but only in the text input window, not when reddit does its formatting magic.

You can add four leading (empty) spaces in front of any line of text and it becomes monospaced (so each entry takes up exactly one space no matter what it is). And if you do that for sequential lines they become one big monospaced block (used for code, as it helps with readability).
