The Dumpster Battle opens in Haikyu Volume 34 with Nekoma ready to attack. VIZ identifies the opening of that meeting and describes Nekoma attacking more aggressively than its defensive reputation suggests. Buy this for the national-stage rivalry after the routes that brought both teams there. Its appeal is the start of a specific contest between familiar teams, with their previous associations now available for each side to test.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
Nekoma's advertised attacking choice makes familiarity incomplete information. Knowing a team for defense does not mean it must remain content to defend. VIZ also describes Tsukishima recognizing that he cannot surpass Kuroo alone, which gives the matchup another limit on individual comparison. The useful buying argument is that a long-anticipated meeting can still require fresh observation. Readers collecting the rivalry should begin with its setup here, rather than only its closing exchanges. The opening establishes what each side has assumed about the other and what those assumptions leave out.
