Can an anime about volleyball make you cry? The new trailer forHaikyu movieThe Dumpster Battle is about to test that theory.
It’s been a long, long road to get here. 10 years after Hinata first spiked a ball in anger, he’s about to meet his friendly rival Kenma on the court in an official match for the first (and likely last) time as their schools Karasuno and Nekoma face off.
“I’d like to play a game with you that’s not a practice game,” Kenma says in a flashback to a previous episode of Haikyu. “A game where it’s immediately ‘game over’ if you lose.”
From there, the trailer previews the high-stakes Nationals matchup between the two teams – including one moment where the usually shy and reserved Kenma flicks a switch and seemingly turns ultra-competitive.
Haikyu is set to come to a close with The Dumpster Battle and – at least according to the initial announcement last year – one more movie.
