Kageyama and Tsukishima are invited to the All-Japan Youth Training Camp and a prefecture-wide training camp, respectively. In a fit of jealousy, Hinata sneaks into Tsukishima's camp. Despite initial confusion, Shiratorizawa's coach allows Hinata to attend the camp as a ball boy to test his skills independent of Kageyama.

Just one more month until the Spring Tournament. Hinata crashed the Miyagi Prefecture Rookie Select Training Camp and got to stay as one of their ball boys. While the boys are doing a practice match, the third-year players from Shiratorizawa show up.

While Hinata, Kageyama, and Tsukishima are gone, the Karasuno High School Volleyball Team do practice matches with Tokonami High School.

On the first day of the New Year, Daichi is disturbed by a foreboding dream that burdens him as the time to head to the Spring Tournament draws near. The Karasuno team finally departs to Tokyo for the nationals tournament where nerves and excitement begin to arise as the players prepare for their first games and reunite with old friends.

A minor crisis strikes when Hinata's shoes suddenly go missing before the team's first game. Kiyoko embarks on the task of retrieving the shoes as she remembers how she first became the manager of the team and the bonds that have been formed. Karasuno faces Tsubakihara Academy in their first game and another crisis takes place when Kageyama seems to be off his game.

With Kageyama back on track, Karasuno begins to power through the rest of the set and show they are not to be underestimated. At the same time, the Tsubakihara team starts doing all they can to ensure that they did not come to the Spring Tournament as mere participants.

Karasuno prepares for their first match in the second round against the team that is the second favorite to win the tournament, Inarizaki High, and their team of unique players.
