EPISODE REVIEWS

Karasuno reconnects with Nekoma High during a practice match. The long-time rivalry between the two schools reignites with fast paced rallies.

Episode Context

Sitting at the season's midpoint, episode 12 delivers the payoff for the team-building and lineup decisions Karasuno locked in during 'Decision', this is where preparation meets execution against a worthy opponent. The Nekoma practice match serves as a critical benchmark for Karasuno's evolving synergy, testing whether Hinata and Kageyama's unconventional quick and the team's defensive improvements can hold up against elite coordination. The rivalry introduced here carries directly into episode 13, 'Rival,' which deepens the individual matchups and thematic threads this episode sets in motion.
