Third Place Playoff:
The first set showed an all-round great performance from Lerna who took it 25-17 with 4 aces to finish it off from Hajime Iwaizumi. The second set displayed the power of Block and Awe as Kotaro Bokuto and Tetsurou Kuroo proved unstoppable to take the set 13-25. The third set saw Azumane Asahi step up to his role scoring 9 aces in one serving streak. Despite pushback from Bokuto and Aran they held on to take the set 25-18. The fourth set was once more the domain of Kotaro Bokuto who finished it off with an ace to win the set 18-25 and take it to the fifth.
Lerna started the fifth set strong with four aces from Hajime Iwaizumi and a 5-0 lead. However, a strong fightback from Kita Shinsuke and Ojiro Aran saw Block and Awe take an 8-11 lead. The set trickled on with 2 points each setting Block and Awe up for what looked to be an easy finish at 10-13. However, the genius Kozume Kenma cannot be taken lightly. Lerna's setter served five points in a row finishing it off with a well placed ace to take the set, the match, and third place for his team.

The Final:
The final was much less chaotic than the third place playoff. Limitless strolled through the first two sets on the back of Wakatsu Kiryu and Sachiro Hirugami taking them 16-25 and 15-25 respectively. Ushijima and his team finally showed up for set 3, almost chocked a 23-18 lead, and just managed to close out the set through Hoshiumi 25-23. The fourth set started off swinging back and fourth between the two teams until eventually Anime Guys took a lead 21-18 through an Ushijima spiking masterclass, scoring 4 out of 5 points. However, after losing one point, a very dangerous thing happened. Kageyama Tobio stepped up to serve. The genius setter served six points with four aces to close out a 3-1 win and first place in the warmups for his team.
