On February 16, 2024, the movie was released in Japan. After nearly three months of anticipation, fans of Haikyuu! from around the world will now be able to see the film in theaters.
On May 30, an international release of Haikyuu Battle of the Garbage Dump (also known as HAIKYU!! The Dumpster Battle), the first installment of a two-part series adapting the remaining manga source material, will take place.

The acclaimed manga series by Haruichi Furudate, “Battle of the Garbage Dump,” will bring to life its concluding arc, which chronicles the fierce battles between teams in the national competition. The much anticipated matchup between Karasuno High and Nekoma High, dubbed the “cats and crows” of volleyball, will serve as the main focus of the film.
Fans may get a preview of the intense competition that will be present on the big screen with the previously published trailer.
You can be reassured that the personnel and cast of the film will not alter from those of the TV anime series if you are worried about any alterations in the adaptation.
Haruichi Furudate is the author and illustrator of the Haikyuu manga series, which ran for an astounding 45 volumes from February 2012 to July 2020. It was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine. Produced by Production I.G., the anime version debuted in April 2014 and immediately became incredibly popular.
December 2020 marked the end of the anime series, which ran for four seasons, several OVAs, and a total of 85 episodes. This coincided precisely with the manga’s final chapter.
