'Haikyuu!' season 3 release date, plot spoilers: To debut in October; more intense competition awaits Hinata's team

The third season of "Haikyuu!," the anime adaptation of Haruichi Furudate's volleyball manga, is coming this October. And based on the latest spoilers, it looks like Hinata's team will still be going against the Shiratorizawa Academy team.

The teaser for "Haikyuu!" season 3 was released earlier this year, and it's said to be titled "Haikyuu!! Karasuno Kōkō VS Shiratorizawa Gakuen Kōkō" ("Haikyu!! Karasuno High vs Shiratorizawa Academy").

The second season showcased just exactly how intense the players from Shiratorizawa Academy can get, and the third season is said to pick up where the last season left off.

"Haikyuu!" follows the story of Shoyo Hinata, a small-statured boy who wants to compete professionally in the sport of volleyball. Height can prove to be an important aspect of playing the game, as attacks from short opponents are easily blocked by players with the right height. Hinata, however, makes up for his disability by being incredibly fast and having remarkable stamina. He's also the highest vertical jumper in the team, so height wouldn't be too big of a problem.

Hinata draws inspiration from his idol volleyball player, Small Giant, and he also had the desire to beat the volleyball King of Court, Tobio Kageyama. His plans, however, didn't push through as he soon found out that Kageyama was in the same volleyball team that he was in. How could he defeat Kageyama if he had to be his teammate? Those feelings, however, were soon flushed out by the team's newfound cooperation.

"Haikyuu!" season 3 is set to release this coming October, but for fans who can't wait, Furudate's manga version of "Haikyuu!" is still ongoing, and it's guaranteed that it has more frequent updates than the anime. The anime's first season was released 2014, the second one in 2015, while the third season will debut in fall.
