What To Expect From Haikyuu!! The Movie: Battle at the Garbage Dump
The story in Haikyuu!! The Movie: Battle at the Garbage Dump will pick up from where the fourth season of the anime ended. It revolves around an important tournament match between Karasuno and Nekoma High, who are striving to win and advance into Nationals.
The movie will prepare for the final conflict in this series, with one more movie expected to come after it and conclude everything. This part may not completely end but leave viewers waiting for what is next, which we think would be a fascinating finish in the Haikyuu series.
The fourth season of Haikyuu!! ended by covering chapter 292 from the manga source, so the movie should begin from this point and continue with chapter 293. Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump is part of Haikyuu!! manga’s Tokyo Nationals Arc and the Garbage Dump battle ends at chapter 295.
You can watch Haikyuu!! anime on Crunchyroll.
