As mentioned earlier, the official staff for the Haikyuu!! anime unveiled a new key visual for the Haikyuu!! Final Movie: Decisive Battle at the Garbage Dump. Based on the original work by Haruichi Furudate, the illustration showcases all 21 members of Karasuno and Nekoma High.
The poster reveals 12 members of Karausno High School, including Shoyo Hinata, Tobio Kageyama, Yuu Nishinoya, Ryunosuke Tanaka, Koshi Sugawara, Asahi, Kei Tsukishima, and others. They all look excited, ready to face their opponents in the all-important game.
On the other side of the spectrum, the visual depicts the nine Nekoma High players, including their MVP, Kenma Kozume, Tetsuro Kuro, Morisuke Yaku, Taketora Yamamoto, Nobuyuki Kai, and others.
Similar to the Karasuno High Team, the Nekoma players look determined to assert their authority on the volleyball court. The contrasting jerseys of Karasuno (Black) and Nekoma High (Red) look fabulous when seen against the vibrant sky and a pole in the background.
Additionally, the background art reveals a garbage dump with the silhouettes of a cat and crow drawn on the backs of both teams. The visual also shows a catchphrase that reads as such, when translated:
"A banquet of fate, it's finally opening!"

Since IMAX uses the latest video production technology, the audience will get to watch the movie in breathtaking quality at the theaters.
