The streamer announced the news onTwitterwriting, “The long-standing feud between Hinata and Kenma finally comes to an end as Karasuno and Nekoma go head-to-head at the National Championships.” They also confirmed the release date: October 31. See the full post below.
Alongside the release date, Netflix has posted a trailer giving anime fans a sneak peek at the upcoming volleyball battle between rival teams but more importantly between central characters Hinata and Kenma. The clip, which you can see above, also includes the movie’s official theme song by Japanese rock band Spyair.
Directed by Susumu Mitsunaka, the movie is adapted from the highly popular anime series Haikyu!!, which in turn is based on the manga series of the same name by Haruichi Furudate. For fans of the manga who may be wondering, The Dumpster Battle movie seems to adapt chapters 291 to 325, give or take a few chapters. The film also looks to pick up where Haikyu!! Season 4 leaves off.
Haikyu!!: The Dumpster Battle hits Netflix in selected regions in Asia this Halloween, but fans in Japan got to see the movie earlier this year when it was released in theaters on February 16. However, there is no official international release date at this time, but we are hoping it comes to Netflix US and UK too.
