2.43: Seiin High School Volleyball Episode 8 Spoilers
In episode 7, Seiin plays a practice game against Fukoho High school, one of the best teams in Fukui Prefecture. Subaru Mimura demonstrates why he is widely considered the best spiker in the prefecture in the first set. He single-handedly orchestrates Fukui winning the round. He subsequently sits out in the next 5 sets, and the practice match ends with both teams winning 3 sets each.
Haijima has noticed that Fukui concentrated on sending the ball towards Oda and realizes that they did so because of his height. For all his volleyball brilliance, Haijima has never learned how to be considerate. He succinctly and passionately makes his point to Oda in front of their teammates but never for one moment stops to think of the psychological effect it might have on other players if Oda, their captain, were to sit out.
Haijima finally recognizes this as a personal shortcoming when he learns that his father regrets what happened at his previous school. He initially can’t figure out why his father would regret something even though he (Haijima) himself doesn’t and speaks to Kuroba about it. The episode ends as Oda hands over his list of picks for the starting line-up to the team’s coach. It is revealed that he has kept himself in reserve. In episode 8, Haijima and Kuroba might improve their partnership as Seiin’s setter and striker, respectively.
