Haikyuu!! season 4 aired in two sets, from January to April 2020 and from October to December 2020. With the anime currently following the Karasuno team playing at the Nationals for the first time in years, and season 4 ending on an insanely high point with Karasuno’s win against Inarizaki High school, Haikyuu!! manga and anime fans are equally hyped for their next match, which is revealed at the end of season 4 to be against Tokyo’s Nekoma High school.
Recent speculation suggests that Haikyuu!! season 5 might just be announced at the upcoming Jump Festa 22.
Haikyuu!! season 5 possible announcement in 2022
Due to the delay caused by the pandemic, season 5, which fans hoped would air in 2021, showed no signs of appearing. However, their prayers might soon be answered with reports on Twitter suggesting that Haikyuu!! season 5 might finally be announced officially during Jump Festa 2022.
With the celebration being the manga and anime event’s 10th anniversary, it makes it the perfect occasion to announce the fifth season of this immensely popular series. Another clue that has spurred fans into believing the speculation, is the events list put up by the Shonen Jump Twitter page, which includes a stage for Haikyuu!!
The Haikyuu!! manga having already ended makes it even more likely that the announcement would be regarding the anime adaptation of Haruichi Furudate’s volleyball-centric sports manga.
The Jump Festa 2022 is scheduled for two days, on December 18 and 19, 2021. If the announcement indeed confirms the production of the fifth season, it can be expected to premiere in Fall 2022.
What to expect in Haikyuu!! season 5
Season 4 ends with the intense Karasuno vs. Inarizaki match, where the characters on both teams reach new heights, and a well-deserved tear-jerking win. The final episode of the season shows the Nekoma team walking down a corridor, after watching the match that decided their next opponent.
The Nekoma vs. Karasuno match is something that has been talked about and hyped since the first season itself, nicknamed “The Battle at the Garbage Dump” because of the two teams’ symbolic representations of a crow and an alley cat.
Fans are also excited to see Kenma and Hinata finally face off against each other in a serious match, going all out to secure the next win.
