Haikyuu!! movie 2 appears to be confirmed as The Dumpster Battle opens globally

Haikyuu!! movie 2 has been confirmed for fans of sports anime to celebrate, after The Dumpster Battle was released globally on May 31.

The Haikyuu!! movie has gained a reputation as one of the top anime films of 2024 (for further details, see our Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle review). Its debut in Japan resulted in breaking numerous box office records. Following its success in its home country, the beloved sports anime is now captivating audiences worldwide with its global release.

The first Haikyuu!! movie’s success has solidified the possibility of a sequel. Initially, Toho and the manga’s author, Haruichi Furudate, had announced plans for two films instead of Haikyuu!! Season 5.

Despite The Dumpster Battle receiving a release date and trailer soon after its announcement, there has been no update on the second Haikyuu!! movie until recently. As The Dumpster Battle premiered globally, evidence of the second movie’s existence has surfaced on MyAnimeList. The upcoming film is listed as ‘Haikyuu!! Final Part 2’ on the site.

Being listed in MAL’s database is typically considered a strong indication of an upcoming anime, even without an official announcement. Although there was already little doubt about the creation of another Haikyuu!! movie, given its impressive box office success, its addition to the MAL database solidifies its position as a highly anticipated sequel.

This also suggests to fans that the release of Haikyuu!! movie 2 may come sooner than anticipated. If it is already listed on MAL, it is possible that the anime movie will be released in 2025. However, there has been no official announcement from MAL or the production companies regarding a specific release date.

The confirmation of the Haikyuu!! movie 2 has left fans in a state of absolute excitement. As expressed by a user on X, “This means it’s really happening.”

Despite the official announcement that the second movie will be the finale of the franchise, many fans are still hoping for the beloved anime to have a continuation. The Haikyuu!! manga is filled with countless possibilities and enough content to potentially create another movie.

Another fan pleads, “Could we have an Attack on Titan-like finale that is stretched out into four separate parts? I just can’t deal with it ending.”

“A third person demands that it must be at least 3 hours long, otherwise it won’t be acceptable.”

It remains to be seen if their desire for a second Haikyuu!! movie will be fulfilled. Currently, viewers can still enjoy the first Haikyuu!! movie. For those who have yet to watch it, the film, Haikyuu!! Movie: The Dumpster Battle, follows the intense match between Karasuno and Nekoma in the third round of the Tokyo Finals.

The conclusion of the movie, The Dumpster Battle, will reveal whether or not there is a post-credit scene for the Haikyuu!! Movie: The Dumpster Battle. Additionally, there are important details to be aware of before watching Haikyuu!! The Dumpster Battle.
