Shouyou Hinata has been captivated by the dynamic dynamics of volleyball since witnessing the "Little Giant" and his remarkable talents on the court. Despite the fact that his effort to make his debut as a volleyball regular during a middle school competition failed, he longs to demonstrate that his lack of height is no longer an impediment in the face of his pure will and tenacity. Hinata feels he is one step closer to his dream of becoming a professional volleyball player when he enrolls at Karasuno High School, the Little Giant's alma mater. Although the school is barely a ghost of its former self, Hinata's faith is not undermined until he hears that Tobio Kageyama—the genius who embarrassed Hinata's middle school—has died.
