Maybe I should just add that the key line in this episode is incorrect. The subtitle reads: You can FLY even higher. However, the correct translation is “You can JUMP even higher”. In Japanese, to FLY or to JUMP is the same: TOBU. We distinguish one from the other according to the context AND to the kanji (ideogram), and it is clear that Kageyama intended to stimulate Hinata upon what he saw in the All-Japan camp in Tokyo, in other words, the “other” little giant Hoshiumi. By watching Hoshiumi’s jumps he said to Hinata he was capable of JUMPING higher, not flying. And by judging Kageyama’s personality, he is more of a type who talks about technical competencies and abilities than one’s future potentials. Plus. The kanji used in the Japanese subtitle is that of JUMP. Not FLY.

Something interesting that I noticed only because I read the manga. In this episodes Yamaguchi keeps serving out, and I remember when I first watched the anime I was so upset about it? Like oh nooo he's going to lose his role😭. But reading the manga they explained way better than what Yamaguchi is practicing is to hit his Float serve faster and harder to receive! That's why it keeps getting out of bounds. Something similar is happening with more characters. That they are trying something new and it just went over my head until I read the manga and understood jaja.

You know is funny? I always took it both ways....how can I explain. Like yes, I do belive Kageyama said "you can jump even higher " but when he said it, Hinata heard "you can fly even higher ". And in the end, I do believe what Kageyama was trying to say is: "You can go even higher".

I guess the audience is absolutely free to interpret the show as it fits best to each and everyone’s understanding. So I totally respect your point of view. However, as a professional interpreter and subtitling translator myself, the translation needs to be faithful to the original script/screenplay. It’s our job to respect what’s in the script (and in this case, in the original manga, too). If the audience wishes to transcend its meaning it’s up to them. As to this particular line, the correct translation of what’s in the script is JUMP, not fly. P.S.: by the way, have you watched the movie (the dumpster battle)? There’s a particular scene there you’ll notice a quite similar translation case of this particular word. In the movie, the translation IS correct, and portrays beautifully your personal interpretation described in the comment above.

I understand what you're saying and I appreciate your explanation. I guess when I watch, I know Kageyama is referring to Hinata jumping, but I the flying part is more poetic and ties into the Crow imagery, so I never gave it a second thought.

You can definitely see Yamaguchi getting frustrated and looking around because maybe he is also worried that he will be surpassed. Kinnoshita is working on stuff, Tanaka is jump serving... I see what you mean

Sarah, thank you for commenting. I just wish to clarify that this is not a criticism towards yours or any other members’ interpretation of the line. At all. I believe if the author chose “jump” instead of “fly”, there should be a reason for that, and the translator should, as well, be faithful to what’s on script. Otherwise, it would be misleading the audience.
