Under the direction of Susumu Mitsunaka and animated by Production I.G., the movie promises to deliver the high-quality storytelling and animation fans have come to expect from the franchise.
The storyline continues to follow Shoyo Hinata’s journey in Karasuno High’s volleyball club, inspired by his idol, the “Little Giant.” Despite initial friction, Hinata’s partnership with his former rival, Tobio Kageyama, blossoms into a strategic advantage. Yet, the question remains – will their combined forces be enough to secure victory against Nekoma High in the eagerly awaited Dumpster Battle?
The original Haikyu!! manga, created by Haruichi Furudate and serialized in the Weekly Shonen Jump from 2012 to 2020, has been a critical and commercial success, spawning four seasons of anime adaptations by Production I.G. These culminated in the first of a two-part finale movie, Haikyu!!
