This new film will depict the showdown between the "little giants" Hinata and Hoshiumi, with Susumu Mitsunaka slated to return as director at Production I.G. The film picks up after the contest against Nekoma High School, where Shoyo Hinata and his team from Karasuno High School advance to face Kamomedai High School, whose star player, Korai Hoshiumi, shares the same nickname – “The Little Giant” – as a player Hinata once admired.
The second project is “Haikyu!!: The Place Where Monsters Go,” which will be a separate anime adaptation. This installment will cover the intense battle between Fukurodani Academy and Mujinazaka High School, showcasing the talents of fan-favorite character Kotaro Bokuto and his team.
