To commemorate this blockbuster feat, the movie staff went full throttle. They slammed a special outdoor video ad on the massive 150-foot Shinjuku Wall for a whole week, letting everyone bask in Haikyuu!!’s glory. But that’s not all – new “Player Directory Style Bromide” collectibles are being handed out to fans attending screenings from May 3rd onward. Gotta commemorate that W!
Based on the iconic volleyball manga, The Dumpster Battle depicts the long-awaited face-off between rivals Karasuno and Nekoma. With series vet Susumu Mitsunaka back in the director’s chair, it’s a surefire spike to the fandom’s nostalgia.
And this is just the start – the second Final sequel movie is still cooking. If the trajectory continues, Haikyuu!!‘s total haul might soar to heights that’ll make you yell “Nice kill!” Keep an eye on this powerhouse franchise!
