After seeing a televised volleyball game where Karasuno High"s "Little Giant" secures a hard‑won triumph, Shouyou Hinata watches it on the school"s large screen and feels his imagination ignite. The young, eager fan is inspired to take up the sport, dreaming of reaching great heights himself. Enrolled at his hero"s alma mater, he strives to join the team despite being shorter than most; his determination is unwavering. On his first day, Hinata meets "King of the Court," Tobio Kageyama—a brilliant setter who once handed him a painful loss in middle school.
Their hostile first encounter and ensuing rivalry compel the rest of Karasuno to forbid both from joining until they learn to cooperate. Though hesitant, their shared passion for volleyball compels them to propose a plan that proves they can work together. As the two freshmen forge an unlikely setter‑ace partnership, a former rival school challenges Karasuno to practice matches, sparking renewed competition between the two teams.
