Fever forces Hinata to watch from outside the court in Haikyu Volume 42. VIZ identifies a fever as the reason he watches Karasuno face Kamomedai without him. Buy this after the quarterfinal volumes for the change in participation at their end. The distinction is direct: the player whose activity has driven so much of the match must now experience its continuation without contributing another play.
Spoilers — why this volume matters. Tap to reveal.
VIZ explicitly identifies this volume as the end of the Spring Tournament arc. It also places Hinata outside the court watching a broadcast while his teammates continue. For a reader collecting the tournament stretch, that identifies a destination even while the immediate match still demands attention. That boundary gives a tournament collection a stopping target without pretending the game has already ended when Hinata leaves. The analytical interest is the enforced separation between caring about a result and being able to affect it physically. His attention can stay with the team, but attention cannot provide the missing player's next contribution to the rally.
