Haikyuu!! Unveils Title of Final Film Part 1, Teasing Legendary Battle

Haikyuu!! has announced the title of the first part of the final film.

On Haikyuu!! day (Aug. 19), Ayumu Murase and Kaito Ishikawa held a livestream where they revealed the title of Part 1 of the Haikyuu!! FINAL film series. Haikyu!! THE MOVIE – Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump will feature the long-awaited match-up between Karasuno and Nekoma. Production I.G will return to animate and produce the film.

Introduced in the first season, the Battle of the Garbage Dump is a nickname bestowed upon the rivalry between Karasuno High School and Nekoma High School. With Karasuno symbolized as crows and Nekoma symbolized as cats, the two are often depicted fighting outside a dumpster. The two schools never had the opportunity to play against each other in an official match and could only play each other in practice matches where Karasuno has lost nearly every single match.

Haikyuu!!, the best-selling volleyball manga series written and illustrated by Haruichi Furudate, ran in Weekly Shōnen Jump from February 2012 to July 2020. The manga inspired a successful anime franchise which spanned four seasons from April 2014 to December 2020. On Aug. 13, 2022, Haikyuu!! announced the anime series will end with a two-part final film.

A kick-off event called Haikyuu!! Festa 2023 is scheduled for Sept. 24 and will take place at Musashino Sports Plaza. The voice acting cast will be in attendance where they will do a live script-read of an original script written by Furudate. SPYAIR and BURNOUT SYNDROMES are also scheduled to perform. In addition, fans will have the opportunity to be a part of history as their cheers will be recorded and placed in the films.

All four seasons of Haikyuu!! are available on Crunchyroll.
