KEY POINTS

  • Karasuno High and Inarizaki High resume their third set
  • This is the decider set of the game
  • "Haikyuu!!" Season 4, Episode 21 is airing Friday

The third set of Inarizaki High vs. Karasuno High continues as the former wishes to crush the opposing team and register a win. "Haikyuu!!" Season 4, Episode 21 is likely to revolve around the Miya brothers and Nishinoya's backstory and the final set of the match.

One of the spoiler stills from "Haikyuu!!" Season 4, Episode 21 shows little Nishinoya biking and he looks determined. Another still showcases Miya brothers in their younger days.

The synopsis for the upcoming episode teases that Karasuno High are struggling against Kita's team. Meanwhile, Atsumu Miya's fierce and unpredictable services trouble Karasuno High.

The previous episode sees the conclusion of the second set as Inarizaki High welcome their leader – Shinsuke Kita.

He is known to be laser-focused on the court and his arrival improves the team's confidence. Moreover, after Ginjima scores a point and takes Inarizaki High's score to 23, Karasuno High suddenly feel under pressure.

It is likely due to Kita's play and how he is able to recalibrate his team's efforts. Coach Korosu observes that Kita may not be a star performer like Aran Ojiro or the Miya brothers, but players like him show up every once in a while.

Korosu adds that Kita's mere presence takes over the entire court and even makes the opposing team nervous. He remembers that Kita has had that kind of presence ever since junior high school. Kita is known for being precise with his words and avoids doing anything unnecessary, on and off the court.

Kita has the ability to replicate his practice sessions during matches and that sets him apart from others. Korosu mentions that Kita is never surprised as he can predict the opponent's next move.

With Kita on their side, Inarizaki High bag the second set and enter the third set with a winning high. However, toward the end of the episode, Kageyama rises again for his team after stopping Ojiro's shot and winning a point for Karasuno High.

Episode 20 ends with Karasuno High leading the early part of the third set. But they cannot let their guards down against Kita's team as Inarizaki High remain the ultimate challengers.

Fans can watch "Haikyuu!!" Season 4, Episode 21 online on Crunchyroll. The episodes stream in Japanese with English subtitles.

"Haikyuu!!" Season 4, Episode 21 is scheduled to air Friday, 12:27 p.m. ET.
