Sena Kobayakawa is a short and scrawny new freshman at Deimon High School. He had always been the target for bullies, and his childhood friend Anezaki Mamori would always try to protect him from them when she was around. On his first day at Deimon, a group of bullies cornered him and dragged him off to the tiny club room for the school's American Football team, where he was rescued by the team's only starting lineman, and recruited to be the team secretary.In short order, Sena was discovered to be a fast and agile runner, trained by a lifetime of running from (and running errands for) bullies. In addition to his team secretary duties, he was quickly recruited to be the team's starting running back by the team's captain: the demonic Youichi Hiruma. To keep him from becoming a recruitment target for every other club in the school, he was given a secret identity: Eyeshield 21, the mysterious hero from Notre Dame, who always plays wearing a helmet with a dark green eyeshield.Between its captain's extortion, swearing and Training from Hell, the ultra-rookie team, the Deimon Devil Bats are forced to crawl their way up from the bottom while trying to put together a roster that actually has enough players to play. The goal: the high school national championships, the Christmas Bowl.On the way, they win a bunch of games, they lose a bunch of games, create fierce but friendly rivalries, learn epic manliness, and generally get ordered around by the whims of their captain. Through all this, the key underlying theme of talent vs. effort is explored, with each team desperately climbing towards the top of the American Football world.Eyeshield 21 is a sports manga written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Yusuke Murata, which was serialized from 2002 to 2009 in Weekly Shonen Jump for 333 chapters. Similar to Slam Dunk, it explains the rules of the sport (American Football) as the story progresses, allowing even a beginner to follow along with the games.The manga was adapted to an anime by Studio Gallop, which first aired on TV Tokyo from 2005 to 2008 for 145 episodes. Sentai Filmworks started releasing the series in North America, sub-only, in May 2010. | |

Fangirl | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_10e866aa | comment |
There's a trio of super-fangirls who can be seen in the stands whenever singer/model Haruto Sakuraba is expected to play. Sakuraba had a lot of fans, but those three stuck by him even after he quit modeling and remade himself as a serious athlete. Of the three, the most notable is a short chubby girl with pigtails who faints every time she sees Sakuraba. | |

Everyone Has a Special Move | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_11719c53 | comment |
Everyone Has a Special Move: The aces of pretty much every team have a named Signature Move that is essential to their playstyle. Sena for example has his Devil Bat Ghost, Monta his Devil Backfire, Shin his Spear Tackle (upgraded to Trident Tackle), etc... In fact, the teams in general have specific plays that they also name. The Ojo White Knights have the Everest Pass where Takami passes the ball to Sakuraba, exploiting their height to create a pass impossible to intercept while the Shinryuji Nagas also have the Dragon Fly, where Unsui and Agon play as two quarterbacks making lateral passes. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_14180452 | comment |
Instantly Proven Wrong: During the first Deimon-Ojo match, Hiruma taunts Shin by telling him that Eyeshield 21 is even faster than he is. Shin shrugs it off by stating "It's a useless pretense. Our team in unshakable.", only for Hiruma to move on and taunt Otowara about Kurita being stronger than him, instantly enraging him (Shin's expression is priceless). | |

Heroic BSoD | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_1439161f | comment |
Heroic BSoD: Kurita, after Gaou breaks Hiruma's arm, sending him out of the game for about one quarter and halftime. He even loses the ability to understand Komusubi, signifying that he was no longer a strong man. Komusubi, at one point, felt that his lack of height had become too great a liabiliy, especially since the players and even the cheerleaders of the Kyoshin Poseidons were exceptionally tall. It takes some talk from Sena and the Ha-Ha Bros (very literally) "kicking" some sense to him to get him back on track. Sakuraba (still in his Fake Ultimate Hero phase) goes through one when he realizes that no matter how hard he trains, he'll never be as good as Shin. His friend Takami reacted violently to that, having gone through the exact same thing when he dealt with a childhood injury that kept him from keeping pace with the rest of the team. Monta got one when he realized he's going to face Honjou Taka, the son of his lifetime idol. | |

Heroic RRoD | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_1440584e | comment |
Heroic RRoD: Sena's maximum speed, at first, is his own bane. Before Kantou Tournament, he can only run at his maximum speed once since it overexerts him and makes him pass out. Even after strenuous stamina tranining, during the match against Shinryuji, Sena's legs were on the verge of total collapse from trying to keep up with Agon. | |

Jumping Off the Slippery Slope | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_1520ad7e | comment |
Jumping Off the Slippery Slope: Marco did this after realizing that his team's strength was nothing compared to the Teikoku Alexanders, who won every Christmas Bowl and had never been scored against for 20 years straight.. He decides the most probable way to win is to destroy the enemies completely, using brute strength, injuring the opposition if he can get away with it. Of course, since his original goal was to show his senior Love Interest the "morning sun after the victory", the latter didn't really appreciate it. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_153299b4 | comment |
Boisterous Bruiser: Rodchenko, the enormous, bench-press world record holder Russian football player. Gaou as well started to be like this. Ootawara is always seen sporting the same dopey smile in pretty much every situation. It seems like he simply doesn't know how not to have a great time. Bonus points in that every time he becomes boisterous, he's goddamn right. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Tempting Fate: "You put Sakuraba on the offense? Thank you. You made our job easier, reducing one pass target on the field". And then Sakuraba turns out to be a phenomenal receiver, given his tenacity and height. "We already know Eyeshield 21's weakness. We can stop him". And then here comes the Devilbat Ghost. The most prominent example is Onihei. Everything he predicted will be inverted, or at least, subverted. One particularly hilarious example is in chapter 1, when Mamori warned Sena about the "devilish human being" called "Hiruma" and told him to stay away from that guy. But after witnessing Sena's run from the Ha-Ha brothers, Hiruma was dead set on making him a prominent member, so Sena could never run away now. Though, as their relationship developed, it's not like Sena would ever want to. | |

Exactly What I Aimed At | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_17122b19 | comment |
Exactly What I Aimed At: When he got tackled by Agon near the sidelines, after Hiruma's fake spike trick play, Monta yelled, "CATCH MAXXX!!", which Agon responded, "It's useless, the ball is in your hand already. Your dream is over now!" It's revealed that he had actually tried to grab the SIDELINE, forcing the clock to be set back and allowing the Devil Bats one more chance to pull ahead and win. In the game against the White Knights in the Kantou Tournament semifinal, the White Knights, with only one minute left, send their strongest runner, Shin, to score a touchdown. Sena is benched with an injury, and as a replacement, they call in Yukimitsu. Yukimitsu clearly can't stop Shin, since he's the weakest of the Devil Bats, and really, no one can stop Shin. With three seconds left in the game, Yukimitsu, instead of trying to hold Shin back, pushes him into the endzone. Then it's revealed, Ojou's plan was to score right as time ran out, leaving Deimon no time to catch up. Yukimitsu realized this, and saved Deimon, by giving them the one second they needed to mount a comeback. And they did it. As Shin said, "Even though you're an enemy, that's... magnificent." | |

The Worf Effect | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: Onihei's team was built up as a powerhouse and an overall favorite in the tournament, so that when they got their asses handed to them by the Kyoshin Poseidons, we'd know who the real power was. Similarly, Taiyo and Seibu both bit it against Hakushuu to illustrate how brutal the Dinosaurs were. Subverted in the Ojo versus Sado game, where Otawara gets bowled over twice - but he was faking weakness so Shin could test out his Trident Tackle on opponents, and when he gets to let loose his Lightning Bruiser properties soundly trounce Sado. For Seibu's introduction, Deimon is late to their game against Ojo, and they see the score is 20-7. While everyone is impressed that Seibu scored against Ojo's defense, Hiruma points out that Seibu has 20 points, and are handing the White Knights their asses. Taiyo and Seibu ended up like this toward Hakushu. Mostly to show how powerful Gaou was. Kyoshin Poseidon, which had given Devil Bats massive trouble, gets easily trounced by the Shinryuji Naga in a practice match. And Naga wasn't even playing with their entire lineup. | |

The Rival | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_1c3d047e | comment |
The Rival: Seijuro Shin, the stone-faced star linebacker of the White Knights, is Sena's rival. Agon is arguably Hiruma's, Ikkyu Hosakawa is Monta's and Gaou is Kurita's. Additionally, Sena also faces opposition from Riku of the Seibu Wild Gunmen, the person who taught him to run in the first place, and the real Eyeshield 21, Yamato Takeru. Hiruma also has notable rivals in the other 'control tower' players, Marco and Takami. More than one occasion of detected tactical malice from any of these three has given others the willies. By contrast, this trope is subverted a bit by the LACK of malice, animosity, or negativity between Sena and Shin. The two simply have a great deal of respect for each other, and each recognizes the other as the best possible rival based on their skills. Monta also has Sakuraba and Tetsuma as rivals as well as Taka Honjou, and Komusubi is a rival to all three of the Ha-ha bros. And of course, Sena and Panther. | |

The Stoic: Shin, Banba, and Kakei are all rather unemotional. Akaba might also count. Tetsuma is also notable in this regard. Subverted with Hiruma; he can be trigger-happy, laughing mad, cursing and threatening all the time, but when his plans fail completely, he takes it with stoic silence. | |

Motivational Lie | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_1d77dd02 | comment |
Motivational Lie: When they're about to debut Monta's new Devil Backfire during the final clash against Ojo, Hiruma tells Monta that he's caught 9,999 of Hiruma's passes before, making this first reverse-catch his lucky 10,000th pass. Once Monta's taken his position Musashi asks Hiruma if that was true and Hiruma bluntly admits that of course it wasn't. But in somewhat of an inversion of the usual trope, he adds that Monta had caught his 10,000th pass a long time ago already. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: The Bando Spiders rely on their kicks; They're all legs. The nickname "Panther" is one in Japanese, since it can be formed from a phoenetic shortening of his real name, "Patrick Spencer." (Pansaa = Patorikku Supensaa) | |

The Juggernaut | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_1eed8e76 | comment |
The Juggernaut: Gaou is the straight version; at least until he meets Kurita, who's much slower but pretty much unstoppable. Yamato Takeru is also practically unstoppable on the field; the best thing Deimon can do is slow him down. Not even Shin, widely regarded as the strongest Japanese linebacker EVER, can completely stop him. Tetsuma will go exactly where he's commanded, trampling everyone in his way. Then Mr. Don... oh, God, Mr. Don. | |

Poor, Predictable Rock | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_20210131 | comment |
Poor, Predictable Rock: Most of the opposing teams have one or two defining strengths or gimmicks, like the Seibu Wild Gunmen's quick-draw passing, the Taiyo Sphinx and their "Pyramid Line", or the Bando Spiders' kicks. In that vein, the Devil Bats themselves fit the trope early in the series, by always relying on Sena's speed or Monta's catches. Later, their reliance on the Devil Bat Ghost also came back to bite them. Basically lampshaded in the match against the Wild Gunmen, after Musashi returns to play. Kid makes the observation that without a good kicker, Hiruma's tactics were basically analogous to a person playing rock, paper, scissors - but only using rock and scissors. By the Kantou tournament Deimon's strength is that they have too much offensive cards at hand to be stopped. | |

Hidden Heart of Gold: The most prominent is Musashi. He says things like, "I already discarded them (Hiruma and Kurita), don't bother," read: "I'm sorry, my father is sick and nobody can take care of the company but me", "I'm tougher than you thanks to my work as carpenter, first year weaklings, so I guess I'm the one who should be quarterback" read: "I'm a second year, I'm your senior, let me risk being crushed by that monster so you can still play next year. Habashira Rui, his scary act act is just to motivate his team into being something better than petty delinquents. | |

Chekhov's Gun | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_22cf536c | comment |
Chekhov's Gun: Taken to nearly literal extremes by the 60-Yard Magnum. Remember all the way back in the first chapters when Hiruma says he broke his 40 yard dash record? His running a 5.1 instead of a 5.2 ends up being one of the deciding factors against Shinryuuji. And the pop quiz that Hiruma gives Mamori and the bet he almost loses comes back more than 200 chapters later. Subverted with the Chris Cross play first shown as a card at a rest stop during the Death March. The play was called their trump card when fighting the Teikoku Alexanders (around 200 chapters later), with Sena and Monta as the pair running in the play. They screw up and fumble the ball, with the Alexanders gaining possession. Played straight later on in the same game when Hiruma turns it into the Evil Cross, one of the most Mind Screwing plays in the entire series, second only to the Dragon Fly. Later, it's used by Hiruma and Agon in the match against America in the World Cup. | |

Unknown Rival: Both inverted and later played straight with Kotaro and Musashi. Kotaro initially considered himself to be Musashi's rival without having a clue of exactly who Musashi was, and later became a more normal kind of unknown rival himself. We never know the identity of real Eyeshield 21... until the Christmas Bowl. | |

Post-Victory Collapse | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_25101d1a | comment |
Post-Victory Collapse: While most of the Devil Bats showed obvious signs of fatigue and exhaustion during the Death March, Hiruma chased after his receivers while screaming passing patterns and strafing them with machine gun fire with no indication that the endless running (while hauling around a machine gun) had any effect on him. Even when they reached Las Vegas, he continued to harass them and shoot at them in the hotel...until he got to his room, where he collapsed, face-first and unconscious on the bed, with his shoes still on his feet and his gun still in his hand. After exhausting himself to defeat the Bando Spiders' Spider Web, Sena makes it almost to the locker room but collapses in Suzuna's arms before he gets there. | |

The Dreaded | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_2ae29c0d | comment |
The Dreaded: Hiruma, when Mamori dropped his name in an early chapter every students in Deimon in earshots run. Part of it is built on by Hiruma himself who uses his looks and behavior to destabilize other players and for laughs while the other part is people aware of his reputation of Knowledge Broker. Deimon's principal caved in even though Hiruma had no dirt on him simply because he thought he knew. Agon slips into this when he turns the charm and douchebaggery off, Sena even notes that unlike other bullies he met Agon's vibes are simply evil. Gaou for obvious reasons, although he doesn't want people to fear him he doesn't seem to get his ferocity on the field and insane strength frightens people. Marco even points out he breaks quarterback's arms in the hope someone on the other team will avenge their teammate but in reality most are just too traumatized or weak to do anything about it. Habashira Rui keeps his team of delinquent in line by being the scariest of them. | |

Awesome, but Impractical: Mostly used for comedic effect Taki's flexible body led him to create a spin move called Prince Natsu's Gentle Hurricane...which consists of him spinning in place on one leg. Impressive on its own, but naturally it doesn't do any good on the field. Sena's explosive bursts of running make him uniquely suited to American Football. He fails miserably at every other sport he tries, whether it be from constantly going offsides in soccer to cutting out of lanes in track races. Monta's catching isn't limited to footballs. He can catch anything...including lit fireworks. Which then explode. | |

Scary Black Man: A bizarre example being Banba, who looks and acts the part despite being ethnically Japanese. The series tries to justify his appearance by explaining that he's just really tan from frequent surfing and likes Egyptian culture, but it doesn't explain why he's drawn with the facial features of a Black Egyptian. Ironically enough, the only actual black guy of any significance, Panther, is extremely friendly and humble, often letting people push him around. | |

Parodied by Sasuke Kanagushi of the Dokubari Scorpions; his team lacks any real skill but by paying attention to tiny details in their positions, he can accurately predict the movements of the opposing team. However Kanagushi's analyses are superficial and only works on poor teams with bad habits. In particular, against Hiruma, as Takami says: "His enemy's just plain too evil." Hiruma manages to stay one step ahead of Kanagushi using, among other things, blush and lipstick. | |

Testosterone Poisoning | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_371b253a | comment |
Testosterone Poisoning: A funny in-universe example where every member of the Devil Bats basically 'mans up' by getting Big Ol' Eyebrows and very intense eyes during the Hakushuu game. Even the Team Pets got in on the act, and Mamori and Suzuna had to resist it with every last bit of their female instinct. | |

Kurita is one too. No, not that he has a dark side or anything; Kurita's simply too nice of a guy who doesn't know his own strength when it comes to personal interaction (especially hugging.) And when he's excited enough on field, you don't want to face him. | |

Hitchhiker's Leg: When the team's truck runs out of gas during a trip across America, and the group tries to get a car to stop so they can siphon some more. After several failed attempts from the men of the group, Mamori and Suzuna accomplish the task by donning skimpy outfits and posing, causing a male-driven car to slam their brakes for a better look, after which Hiruma "borrows" some gas from the hapless guys. | |

Boring, but Practical | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_39b8d3d6 | comment |
Boring, but Practical: Contrary to what his opponent's tend to believe, Hiruma is capable of operating on this principle whenever he deems it the best option to win. For instance, in the Christmas bowl the Devil Bats resort to just running the ball behind Kurita as he smashes up everything in front of him, allowing them to catch up by succeeding in every 2-point try. Aakaba of the Bando Spiders draws up a game plan that involves simply kicking their way to victory, succeeding on every onside kick. Frustrating for just about everybody watching and the Devil Bats, but as he puts it, the best solution to Eyeshield 21 is to never give Sena the chance to touch the ball. | |

Recurring Extra: The unamed tv reporter woman (eventually given the name Paco Ando in side materials) and her cameraman. There's a trio of super-fangirls who can be seen in the stands whenever singer/model Haruto Sakuraba is expected to play. Sakuraba had a lot of fans, but those three stuck by him even after he quit modeling and remade himself as a serious athlete. Of the three, the most notable is a short chubby girl with pigtails who faints every time she sees Sakuraba. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Despite the build-up, The substitute Japanese team trounced the Russian team with ease. The all-stars also made quick work of Militaria and won by a decent margin against Germany. The fact that both of these victories happened in the same chapter is a testament to that. What makes this even more awesome is that Militaria watched the Russian game, and saw the benchwarmers play, assuming they were the starters. So, when Gomery starts getting cocky, he gets to meet Agon, Gaou and Shin. This also happened in the Tokyo Tournament. The most prominent is the match between Amino Cyborgs and Deimon Devilbats. The scientifically advanced, calculating, purported "Tournament Stormers", the Amino Cyborgs, got trounced 38-8 by the Deimon Devilbats. To be fair, the Devil Bats spent all summer on the Death March... Also when the White Knights played the heavily built-up Sankaku Punks in the Fall tournament, having only beaten them by one point when they played them in the spring. Ojou won in a complete shut out; the Punks never stood a chance. Seibu's first game on the Tokyo Tournament is against the Cupids. It was 125-10 by the time the Cupids surrendered. Gaou is pretty much a walking monster of destruction. But Mr. Don makes quick work of him, in one strike. Even more awesome is the fact that Gaou survives the hit thanks to Agon who had reduced Mr. Don's strength by chopping his hand; if Mr. Don managed to get him full-power, Gaou would be dead. Clifford manages to effortlessly defeat both Agon and Ikyuu at the same time. Also, he would've succeeded in delivering a curbstomp against both Sena and Agon if Shin hadn't arrived to assist at the very last possible second. That's right, it took nothing less than a combination of three of Japan's aces to take him down. And even afterwards, Clifford remains one of the few opponents in the entire series to have never been fully beaten in a one-on-one confrontation; in fact, Clifford continues to singlehandedly score touchdown after touchdown due to the mere fact that nobody can stop him. | |

Surprisingly Realistic Outcome | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_3ed23024 | comment |
Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: Repeatedly used: The Devil Bats are initially composed of a skilled quarterback, an incredibly strong lineman, an unexperienced but extremely fast running back, and a bunch of guys from various sports clubs who have been blackmailed into helping out. As such in the spring tournament they only win with one of the weakest teams in the tournament before being thrown out of the tournament by the Ojo White Knights. While they end up much stronger by the time of the Fall Tournament it took them recruiting many more skilled players and extreme training to become competitive. The White Knights have spent the last three years at their strongest thanks to the Golden Generation... Who, aside for a handful of players, have just graduated from high school. As such the White Knights are much weaker than before during the Spring Tournament, as while the new guys are talented they just have no experience and little training. By the Fall Tournament, however, the new players have played all the way to the final of the Spring Tournament, trained for months, and played multiple practice games. As such they end up stronger than at the peak of the fabled Golden Generation. The White Knights are hyped from the start as the rivals of the Devil Bats... And in the Spring Tournament are faced in the second game. Amino High, connected to a university famous for their sports medicine program, shows off said program's value by picking a sport every year and dominating it through the size and strength of their athletes, obtained through "science" - that is, drugs -, intimidation at their immense size, and study of what the other teams can do multiple tactics with little to no actual practice. While it worked the previous two years with basketball and soccer, against the Devil Bats they only score a single touchdown early in the game before being wiped out by their more traditionally trained opponents. The reason for their humiliating loss is explicitely attributed to the combination of the Devil Bats having got much stronger than they used to be, thus throwing off all calculations about their tactics, and their more traditional training giving them much more skill and, most importantly, stamina. After their football team was thrashed for two years in a row, the staff of Yuhi High forced the coach to play a team composed by the stars of their other and more successful sports clubs and relegate the actual football players to the benches in spite of them having trained hard to become competitive, and give this order with very little time before the Fall Tournament. The Yuhi Guts gets wiped out by the Devil Bats due their star players having little experience with football and not being a cohesive team, and score a single touchdown only when the star players realize the travesty they're taking part in and fake injuries to let the actual football players do their job. | |

Important Haircut: Sakuraba gets a crewcut at the beginning of the fall season after finally quitting his contract with Jari Productions to focus on football. This move ends up cutting away at his massive fanbase until only the real fans (all three of them) are left. Ironically, he signs with Jari Productions again soon after. Yukimitsu also started doing his hair differently at the start of the Kanto tournament. Hiruma dyed his hair blond shortly before starting the team in the first place, as well. Agon shaving his head also marked his decision to go all out in the tournament, starting with Militaria. Then he removes his wig completely to call his brother out. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_4781adbb | comment |
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Several. Including Rui Habashira who secretly supports the Devilbats during their match against Teikoku by building them a snowbat and Hiruma himself. Mizumachi also is actually a pretty decent guy, if you can forgive his lack of tact. Hiruma seems to be at first glance. But on the other hand, he does care for his teammates/friends, in his own psychotic manner, gives them support when necessary, and even at his worst, never asks anything of them that he is not prepared to go through himself. And then you have the reason he became the manager of the Devil-Bats in the first place: He promised his first friend that they would reach the top of the football circuit in Japan, and by hell, that is what they are going to do. In addition, he put himself in harm's way to try and protect Mamori and Suzuna from GAOU, of all people. Sure he taunts his opponents, but unlike Agon's insults, they tend to be more childish and absurd then genuinely cruel. The one time Hiruma might've kicked the dog (calling Tetsuma stupid and incompetent), he plainly states seconds later "I was just lying, no one thinks of Tetsuma like that!", then reveals that he's trying to get Kid to show his competitive spirit. | |

Charlie Brown from Outta Town: Number 88 on the Japanese world cup team is bandaged like a mummy, but is stated to be a familiar character choosing to obscure their identity for some reason. It was Rui Habashira. | |

Speed, Smarts and Strength | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_4b4ca7ac | comment |
Speed, Smarts and Strength: The key players in Hakushuu Dinosaurs: Marco (the captain) as the brains, and his two trusted friends, Kisiragi (the speed; specializing in snatching the ball away and running) and Gaoh (the brawn; among the best linemen in Japan, often called a "dinosaur"). The core three members of the Deimon Devil Bats at the start of the story, Sena, Hiruma, and Kurita, embody Speed, Smarts, and Strength respectively. Sena is an absurdly gifted runner who can keep up with top-level NFL players, but is so small and scrawny that he struggles to tackle or shrug off being tackled. Hiruma is the smartest person on the Devil Bats and formulates all of their strategies as the quarterback. Kurita is a massive and powerful linebacker, but his frame makes him slow and lumbering and he leaves all the thinking to Hiruma. | |

Smug Snake: The scorpion's leader think he is the smartest people for being able to read play based on small habits. His strategy meant they had 10 wins and only one loss this season before going against Deimon. And he gets crushed, since beating weak teams doesn't prepare you to people who knows how to hide their habits, Hiruma even trolls him with rouge and reading his game. | |

Many of the power players, like Shin or Banba, are implied to be this, having good grades while also being tremendously physically powerful. But the most promninent might be Hayato Akaba, ace Tight-End of the Bando Spiders, who spends most of his time as technical advisor for his team due to tournament rules, and manages to analyze the movemements of all of the opposing players and share it with his team. He still manages to throw Kurita with relative ease. | |

In particular the Deimon High players (it's revealed that the school broke their quota and everybody who applied got in regardless of test scores). And in particular particular, Taki, who can't even do simple arithmetic unless it's about sports. | |

With My Hands Tied: Hiruma plays the second half of the game with the Hakushuu Dinosaurs with a broken right arm. Keep in mind that he's a quarterback (the position which throws the ball) A month later, at the Christmas Bowl, it still hasn't exactly healed, so he'll have to keep off it... causing the star running back of the opponents, the Teikoku Alexanders, to say he'll also play without using his right arm. And while this ultimately turns out to have been a ploy by Hiruma so the Alexanders would underestimate him, Yamato keeps using only one arm until he's forced to do otherwise, to show he doesn't need to try to kick ass. | |

Kurita Ryoukan deserves a mention here as well, as his determination actually rises the more people he has to protect. When he's protecting one quarterback, he's the premier amateur lineman of Japan. When he's protecting two, he successfully stands up to the Don and holds him off alone, a feat nobody else managed. | |

Be prepared to face an enraged Ikari if you insult ANY of the Ojou White Knights. And the fact that he quickly assumes the worst when people are talking about ANYTHING doesn't help at all. | |

Pretty Boy | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_63be4131 | comment |
Pretty Boy: Kiminari Harao, quarterback of the Taiyo Sphinx, is androgynous-looking and wears an Egyptian-style skirt on the field, and his entire team wears eye makeup. He also gets more chocolate from girls on Valentine's Day than anyone else in the tournament. He also has the 2nd most friends out of anybody in the tournament, after Suzuna. Kisaragi from the Hakushuu Dinosaurs, who is downright beautiful in the most feminine way possible. When the team manager, Maria, steps into the showers to talk to Marco, while the other guys hide their genitals, Kisargi hides his chest. Clifford D. Lewis of Team USA certainly counts. He has a pretty face with delicate features, his build is relatively slender, and he's pretty much drowning in a country's worth of fangirls. This is especially true when you compare him to the rest of his team, who range from plain to hunky to downright beastly. | |

Who Needs Overtime? | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_64325825 | comment |
Who Needs Overtime?: Hiruma always chooses to go for the "surprising win" instead of overtime, although it's justified since the team only has 14 players (4 borrowed from other sport clubs), so continuing with a really exhausted team is a poor option. Most of the time, it's decided after thinking through the options very thoroughly. | |

Planet of Hats | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_67f26dcc | comment |
Planet of Hats: The other schools are designed around themes - to the point of looking like theme parks; Ojou High School looks like Notre Dame university, while Taiyo's architecture is ridiculously Egyptian-themed. Taiyo students even look Egyptian because their other hat, surfing and going to the beach, gets them really tan. The Occults actually try to curse their opponents, Zokugaku students mostly get jobs involving motorcycles, etc. | |

Komusubi, at one point, felt that his lack of height had become too great a liabiliy, especially since the players and even the cheerleaders of the Kyoshin Poseidons were exceptionally tall. It takes some talk from Sena and the Ha-Ha Bros (very literally) "kicking" some sense to him to get him back on track. | |

Subordinate Excuse | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_69c32c9e | comment |
Subordinate Excuse: At the start of the series, Mamori became manager of the Devil Bats solely to relieve Sena's workload and protect him from Hiruma's 'bullying'. Then, in an interesting turn of events, the epilogue has her as the manager of the Saikyoudai Wizards, whose captain is Hiruma. Considering the two have had varying amounts of Ship Tease throughout the series, and that they're sharing a car... | |

Serious Business | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_6b35bdff | comment |
Okay, yeah, it's not that unreasonable for people to get a little crazy in high school sports... but did you know that beach football is Serious Business? No, seriously, it's the only thing keeping the Houston youth from dealing drugs. It is true, though, that placing your energy into something like sports to get away from bad habits is perfectly viable. Doburoku took a group of drug abusers and gave them an outlet to put their energy and time into. Kinda funny since he is an alchoholic with a massive gambling addiction. | |

In addition to many shouts out to other Shonen Jump manga; Toganou is almost always seen reading Shonen Jump, as well, and created a manga that combines elements of many manga serialized in Jump... including Eyeshield 21. Other Jump shout-outs show up throughout the series. A filler episode in the anime has every member of the team dress up as Eyeshield and do an homage to Naruto's shadow clone technique. | |

Awesomeness by Analysis | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_73733868 | comment |
Awesomeness by Analysis: Hiruma can analyze his enemies and come up with 18 different strategies at same time, even under severe pressure. Yukimitsu can analyze and discover the enemy's formation's weak-point and can make the best use of it. Mamori created a sign language so she could communicate the things she observes about the opponent's formations from the bench. Sena himself can find a quickest and safest path at a glance, while Yamato can find all possible paths while also analyzing opponents' formation and strategy - something Sena eventually learns. Parodied by Sasuke Kanagushi of the Dokubari Scorpions; his team lacks any real skill but by paying attention to tiny details in their positions, he can accurately predict the movements of the opposing team. However Kanagushi's analyses are superficial and only works on poor teams with bad habits. In particular, against Hiruma, as Takami says: "His enemy's just plain too evil." Hiruma manages to stay one step ahead of Kanagushi using, among other things, blush and lipstick. Heinrich Schultz of the German team goes the extra mile by memorizing every last little detail about a player so that the can reliably predict their actions when he goes against them. Clifford absolutely counts as this. When you beat Hiruma Youichi in poker, then you can officially consider yourself as a top-class intellect. | |

She Is Not My Girlfriend: Mamori had one of these moments when Doburoku mistakenly assumed Hiruma was her boyfriend. Suzuna was intrigued. It doesn't help that this is a Running Gag in the anime. In the Devil Bat's Investigation Files, when asked if Rui Habashira and Megumi Tsuyumine are dating, his answer: "Well, you see, if a man and woman are seen together, that doesn't mean they are doing girlfriend/boyfriend things. The relationship between a man and a woman isn't as simple as whether or not they're going out." | |

Gretzky Has the Ball | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_78c9ebbf | comment |
Gretzky Has the Ball: The manga gets the rules of American Football mostly right, but players often perform acts violent enough that in any real game a referee would be jumping in. Much more prominent in the anime, especially when it's in filler. Another clear example is when Kamagaruma uses the Chariot Bump at one point to try and keep Monta from catching a long pass, which is clear pass interference. It's really not clear when people can get expelled of the field for bad behavior: Agon was kicked out when he punched his teammate during the Christmas Bowl but Hiruma never get anything for shooting at his team, Tetsuma was benched for a game because he attacked Monta (he wanted to stop him from hitting a referee which would have got him in trouble) but Gaou terrorized a whole stadium post game and nothing ever happened to him. Subverted in that Hiruma seems to be fond of what would be intentional grounding at the NCAA football or NFL level. However, intentional grounding is not illegal on the high school level. Also subverted at the end of the Seibu game. On the Devil Bats' all-or-nothing onside kick, Monta rips the ball out of Tetsuma's hands, but his shoulders had already hit the ground. All of the Devil Bats get mega pumped and start opening up paths for Monta to block, creating problems for those familiar with football rules. However, the ref calls the play down where Tetsuma was down, meaning the Gunmen retain posession. And the Devil Bats lose the game. Monta is led to believe Joe Montana was a famous receiver (he is a quarterback) by Hiruma so he doesn't upset by people calling him Monta. Hiruma is surprised he still believe that crap. | |

Sour Outside, Sad Inside: Marco. In spite of his sinister aura and intimidating appearance, and, indeed, his usually less-than-noble intentions, he's shaken pretty easily and is more frightened of Gaou than anyone else. Harao's jerkish tendencies spring from his feelings of inadequacy as a player. He acts the way he does to distract people from the fact that he lacks any real talent. | |

Red Oni, Blue Oni | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_8411ab92 | comment |
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Akaba and Kotaro of the Bando Spiders. They're very similar, liking many of the same things for tellingly different reasons. The blue oni, Akaba, feels that technical ability is the most important thing in football, while the red oni likes things that are "smart", and likes passion. Kakei and Mizumachi of the Kyoshin Poseidons are a pretty exaggerated example- Kakei takes being unemotional to new levels, while Mizumachi is the biggest spazz in the series. There's also Agon and Unsui. Agon is driven by spite and hedonism while Unsui has the self-discipline of a monk. Agon has a perpetual sneer while Unsui rarely ever emotes at all. | |

Advice Backfire | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_8527b5da | comment |
Advice Backfire: Jo Tetsuma is so literal that he takes everything WAY OVERBOARD. When told to 'keep hydrated' in preparation for a match, he went through twenty-something water-bottles in less than five minutes, resulting in the one time he ever deviated from his pass route—running off the field in the middle of a game to get to the bathroom after getting a stomach cramp. | |

Reality Is Unrealistic | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_85557b38 | comment |
Reality Is Unrealistic: In a reverse of the above examples of Gretzky Has the Ball, the attention to detail is somewhat staggering, to the point where people not intimately familiar with high-school level Football might assume that a mistake was made. For instance: During the Bando game, Kotarou lands the kickoff just out of bounds right by Deimon's endzone. In college and professional football, this results a penalty that results in the ball being started at the 40 yard line. However, at the high school level, this is allowed due to the quality of most high school kickers. Many people are unaware that American football games can end in ties and were thus perplexed by the America vs Japan match ending in a tie. However, even in the NFL, if the score is still tied at the end of the sudden death overtime period whole in the regular season, the match ends as a tie. Obviously, this cannot occur during the playoffs, so the game continues until someone scores. In regards to the World Cup, an explanation is given: Morgan was so confident that the Americans would crush all their opposition that he didn't bother to write an overtime rule into the tournament guidelines. The Taiyou-Deimon's match could have gone in overtime but no one wanted to miss the Spring tournament's semi-final between Ojou-Shinriyuji and the Sphinx were too tired to challenge the Nasa Aliens tomorrow without getting trounced. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_863fac26 | comment |
Jerk Jock: Every element of this is taken to its psychopathic extreme by Kongo Agon. Hiruma would be a Heroic Comedic Sociopath version. Agon is the most vile, arrogant person in the story. Then Mr. Don appears. In fact, both Mr. Don and Clifford manage to be such gigantic asses that they grate on Agon himself. The replacement players for the Yuuhi Guts, stars of Yuuhi's other sports teams, are played up as villains in the anime. In the manga, they were depicted as perfectly nice guys — though selfish in that they were only playing for extra credit. | |

Arc Number | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_9203bf6 | comment |
Arc Number: 21 of course. It's in the title and on the jersey of the hero, and becoming the real Eyeshield 21 is the ultimate personal goal of the protagonist. However, it also pops up more often than any other number. Sena's testing number in the first chapter, and Hiruma winning money to return from America with games of blackjack are obvious examples. Even Yamato's prediction of 42-0 could be interpreted as 2 * 21 = 42. Another example could be Hiruma and Agon combining for the Flying Dragon at the beginning of the final volume. Their jersey numbers are 1 and 2 respectively. Sena's birth date also falls on December 21. | |

Clifford manages to effortlessly defeat both Agon and Ikyuu at the same time. Also, he would've succeeded in delivering a curbstomp against both Sena and Agon if Shin hadn't arrived to assist at the very last possible second. That's right, it took nothing less than a combination of three of Japan's aces to take him down. And even afterwards, Clifford remains one of the few opponents in the entire series to have never been fully beaten in a one-on-one confrontation; in fact, Clifford continues to singlehandedly score touchdown after touchdown due to the mere fact that nobody can stop him. | |

Crippling Overspecialization | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_9aaf8eca | comment |
Crippling Overspecialization: Both played straight and inverted; the only thing Monta's good at is catching. This makes him bad at baseball, his favorite sport, but he's a spectacular receiver in American football. Of course, other players is no exempt from this. Sena is dazzlingly fast, but has no strength to push another in power games. Takami of Ojou White Knights, thanks to his build and training, is a quarterback with precise and high- altitude pass, but thanks to injury in his legs, can't move quick enough to avoid sacking. Kurita is obscenely strong and unmovable, but also can't run jack to save his live. And Yukimitsu, all that he had is ability to deduce possible pass route on the fly and sheer determination, and that's all. In fact, it was said that Deimon is "team of specialist", they had the best man in one aspect but poor on another. They can only work perfectly thaks to Hiruma's skill. | |

Evil Counterpart | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_9b54d536 | comment |
Evil Counterpart: Hiruma, despite arguably being evil himself, has a whole bunch. The last one, Clifford was built up as one of these, with a similar level of intelligence and skill at gambling, hacking, etc; Their jerseys even sport the same number, 1. Not to mention the pronounced physical resemblance between them. There's also Agon and Marco, both of whom give Hiruma a run for his money when it comes to being seriously bad people. Arguably, Mr. Don is intended to be an evil version of Gaoh, as well, though that's another case where it's a "lesser evil" kind of deal. The Hakushuu Dinosaurs could be seen as this to the Devil-Bats as a whole. Both are darkhorse teams run by Manipulative Bastards and based around a few key players, and are willing to do just about anything to get to the top. Main difference is Hakushu has to resort to break bones while Deimon never had to stoop so low (Hiruma admitted to Marco that he would have given the crcumstances). | |

Foreshadowing | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_9d12bbc1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: Sena's test number for the Deimon entrance exam? 021. Whenever a supposedly "insignificant" off comment is made about a team, it always comes true (unless it's said by Onihei of course). For example, in chapter 19, Agon predicts Ojou can only make it to 4th at best. Ojou got 3rd in the Kanto tournament, and 4th overall. One random member of the Dinosaurs suggested "they should just aim for 3rd", which is what Hakushuu ended up getting. When Yukimitsu explains that a Ballista is a weapon of firing spears, Sena asks, "Firing... a Spear Tackle?" Monta then jokes about Otowara picking up Shin and tossing him over the offensive line to tackle. Turns out, Sena wasn't completely wrong, but Shin is on the other side of the ball for the Ballista. In the game with Shinryuuji, Monta catches the ball thrown by a fan without even turning around, foreshadowing his later move "Devilbat Backfire" that wouldn't be officially used until against Oujou. There was an instance earlier in the series that is easily overlooked, but during the filming of the Nasa rematch video, Sena notes that Monta was looking at the camera the entire time when he made the catch. | |

Weak, but Skilled | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_9eb11fac | comment |
Weak, but Skilled: Osamu Kobanzame, the weak, indecisive quarterback of Poseidons, who is overshadowed by his junior teammates, but has amazing accuracy in short passes, and foot speed (triggered by fear), which results in 0 interceptions in the tournament. He also went through Mizumachi-style training without complaining. Yukimitsu is not even on par with makeshift receiver and couldn't go for a full game but he was smart enough and determinate enough to use option route with Hiruma. Hiromi Kisaragi's athletic skill is below average, but his Ptera-Claw is formidable against a receiver like Monta. | |

Leitmotif | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_9f6fb586 | comment |
Leitmotif: Most of the main characters have one but the one that really stands out is Hiruma's (appropriately named the same). It starts playing each time Hiruma yells YA-HA and jumps down from somewhere high, shoots his guns and explain his next crazy plan to the team. | |

One-Hit Kill: What happens when Shin uses his Trident Tackle against most regular players. Subverted since several strong or strong-willed players manage to hold it off, even Fragile Speedster Sena. However, Shin isn't to be underestimated; The Trident Tackle stopped Yamato and his Caesar's Charge flat. | |

Gender-Blender Name: Kisaragi's given name, "Hiromi", is almost always a girl's name, which fits in pretty well with his overall feminine aesthetic. Maruko "Marco" Reiji and Himuro Maruko; In Marco's case, it's deliberately referred to and the reason he insists on being known by his nickname... and on calling Hirumo "Maria." | |

Karma Houdini | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_a70223 | comment |
Karma Houdini: Gaou of the Hakushu Dinosaurs targets quarterbacks intending to break their bones in games. His only karma was that his team lost against the Devil Bats, and despite intentionally breaking Hiruma's arm, he's still invited to be a part of the Japan high school all-star team. He does get a few beatings during the world cup but Gaou likes the challenge too much to call that retribution. Agon is a Born Winner so no matter how despicable he is he will always get away with it. His coach even tells the team that if they copy Agon's behavior he'll drown them under a waterfall since they aren't once in a century freak of nature like Agon. Even the Humble Pie he receives from Deimon is light for the guy who throws football at someone's eye. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_a7382a73 | comment |
Imagine Spot: Very common, usually when players show off their named and themed abilities. For instance, Shin's "Spear Tackle" gets shown as a literal knight with a spear. Kamagaruma is shown riding a chariot when he uses his "Chariot Bump" attack. Sena himself occasionally sees his blockers as shields. | |

Odd Friendship: Taki and Akaba get along very well, despite seeming almost ridiculously incompatable. Doesn't hurt that they're possibly the two biggest Bunny Ears Lawyers in the entire series. Akaba and Kotaro. Shin and Sakuraba. Hiruma and Kurita. Kurita is huge, friendly, gifted with physical strength (although he does work very hard) and enjoys football because it's football and he likes playing with his friends. Hiruma is skinny, barely average in a lot of athletic areas, ruthless, terrifying and only interested in winning. They're best friends. | |

No-Sell | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_abd29ad8 | comment |
No-Sell: Sena Kobayakawa's default running style is to throw the opposing players off by changing his speed and fake the direction where he's going. Quite a number of character aren't affected by this: Riku Kaitani can also throw off Sena with his Rodeo Drive technique enabling him to change his rhythm so Sena doesn't know when to fake. Shin is Sena's equal in speed and tenacity, so even if Sena can get past his Trident Tackle which like Riku involves an unpredictable change in speed, he will be pursued (read no more tricks but running) to the field's end by an expert defensive player. Hayato Akaba trained the Bando Spiders at applying the Run Force, constantly forcing Sena into an unescapable position as he runs. Agon Kongo's reflexes effectively nullify any attempt at throwing him off at least when he can see it coming. Marco is the only player who can be said to be totally unfazed by Sena's running. All he focuses on is the ball thus Sena's fakes are useless, and with his Screw Bite, Marco effortlessly steals the ball from him. That was so bad Sena considered being tackled by Gaou the better option. Takeru Yamato's defensive Ceasar's Charge seals any direction in which Sena can run to when both meet. Apollo taught Panther to observe the navel to know where a runner is gonna go add his speed that surpass everyone in the series and he became quite a problem. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_af2547c9 | comment |
Informed Flaw: Musashi's kicking is supposed to be peerlessly powerful with the drawback that he's not entirely accurate. Despite this, he never misses a single kick in the entire series (apart from one in a flashback which was directly blocked by Shin), even when his rival Kotaro, who's known for his 100% accuracy more than his power, misses a pivotal one. This even includes the 60-yard kick he scores to win the Christmas Bowl against Teikoku. To be fair, Kotaro only missed that kick thanks to hurricane-force winds. Even then Kotaro admits it's because he wanted to show off his power instead of the finesse that allowed him to score previously in said hurricane. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_b0bce7aa | comment |
Selective Obliviousness: Mamori as a running gag in regards to Sena's identity as Eyeshield 21. He's practically Clark Kenting it and yet she keeps missing the signs. She's knows Sena is the same build as Eyeshield. She knows he's joined the Football club and she's never seen Eyeshield 21 without his mask. When she figures out that Sena leaves before Eyeshield 21 shows up, here is her thought: "Everytime Eyeshield 21 shows up... Sena never seems to be around. Maybe they... don't get along well?" The justifification is that she sees Sena as such a wimp, she simply cannot think of him as someone who could be a successful football player. It's even lampshaded by Hiruma: "Preconceptions are harsh..." | |

When they failed to meet that goal, Apollo revealed that he was just going to change the team's name to the NASA Shuttles; that way, it technically wouldn't be the NASA Aliens going back. On the other side, Hiruma said that if the Devil Bats didn't beat the Aliens by at least 10 points the entire team would leave Japan. However he never said they would not come back. | |

The Ace | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Every major team has at least one and explores the tropes in a lot of way. The team's ace is not just a trump card, he is the motivation for all his teammates. Sena going from rookie to living up to his ace status is a major part of the story, Sakuraba was a mediocre player until he chose to drop his celebrity career to live up to the media hype about being the ace and gave his team the best offense they ever had, Kakei and Yamato faced Sena one on one to keep their team morale by showing which aces was better, Shin keeps on training because he takes his status as ace like an obligation and Agon is a perfect example of a Broken Ace, being the best player but also a huge douche who made his team afraid of him more than the other team. | |

Demoted to Extra | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_b8e3f20a | comment |
Demoted to Extra: Ishimaru's plainness has become a running gag in the series, and is especially prevalent after the second popularity contest; He came in 9th in the first, and 21st in the second. Sure, he's second string, but Yukimitsu gets more screen time, and he doesn't even play!. Adding insult to injury, a survey posed to fans pitted Ishimaru versus Unsui, asking who was more forgettable. Ishimaru won by a fair margin, with the victory caption reading 'His presence is faint!' A mild case with Natsuhiko Taki, the Devil Bat's Tight End. After he's established as a permanent member of the cast, and especially after the Bando Spiders game, he doesn't get a ton of moments or further character development for the rest of the series beyond being shown as a reliable pass-catcher on occasion. | |

Of course, other players is no exempt from this. Sena is dazzlingly fast, but has no strength to push another in power games. Takami of Ojou White Knights, thanks to his build and training, is a quarterback with precise and high- altitude pass, but thanks to injury in his legs, can't move quick enough to avoid sacking. Kurita is obscenely strong and unmovable, but also can't run jack to save his live. And Yukimitsu, all that he had is ability to deduce possible pass route on the fly and sheer determination, and that's all. In fact, it was said that Deimon is "team of specialist", they had the best man in one aspect but poor on another. They can only work perfectly thaks to Hiruma's skill. | |

There was a considerable amount of Ship Teasing for both Sena/Suzuna and Hiruma/Mamori throughout the series... though ultimately, nothing was confirmed. But you mustn't forget, this is a Shounen manga. | |

Hard Truth Aesop | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_bbc77bb5 | comment |
Hard Truth Aesop: "It's not how you play the game that counts, it's whether you win or lose." While teams who give it their all are treated with respect, the point is repeatedly hammered home in the series that a graceful loser is still a loser and sportsmanship is a distant second to victory. Which makes it even more surprising that the World Cup final officially ends in a tie. On top of that, the teams decide to play an unofficial overtime (the tournament rules didn't bother with overtime rules) both so they can have a decisive winner, and just to have fun with no more stakes on the line. | |

Genius Bruiser | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_bbf11c0 | comment |
Genius Bruiser: Many of the power players, like Shin or Banba, are implied to be this, having good grades while also being tremendously physically powerful. But the most promninent might be Hayato Akaba, ace Tight-End of the Bando Spiders, who spends most of his time as technical advisor for his team due to tournament rules, and manages to analyze the movemements of all of the opposing players and share it with his team. He still manages to throw Kurita with relative ease. Parodied by Amino Cyborgs. While they definitely had brains and muscle, their overall strength and stamina didn't make it. As said by Juumonji (who is pretty much a Genius Bruiser among the Devil Bats): "Sure, we might be idiots, who cannot attend a high-prestige school like Amino High School, and stupid enough to take spartan, injury-risking training provided by Doburoku-sensei.... But tell me, with all your muscles and your brains, can you PUSH A TRUCK ACROSS THE UNITED STATES IN FORTY DAYS, 2000 KM, ON FOOT?" | |

Berserk Button | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_bc74ef27 | comment |
Berserk Button: Be prepared to face an enraged Ikari if you insult ANY of the Ojou White Knights. And the fact that he quickly assumes the worst when people are talking about ANYTHING doesn't help at all. And be prepared to face an enraged Tetsuma if you hurt Kid. Similarly, don't call Tetsuma an idiot in front of Kid. This enough to piss him off, and make him drop his lazy, uninterested facade for an instant. The best way to piss off Mamori? Threaten anyone she's taking care of. Especially Sena and Suzuna. Mocking your team's dream in front of a certain shorty-no-power-scaredy-cat-boy? Forget the scaredy-cat part. He'll kill you if he can, or at least, hand you your asses in a most awesome way. Don't insult any player who clashed with Gaou but nevertheless faced him bravely. He's been known to completely lose it over stuff like that. Juumonji doesn't exactly cotton to being referred to as "trash". But what really gets Juumonji's goat is when his friends are called "trash". Let's not talk about Suzuna's bust, or height. In general, don't talk about her child-like features. It's safer that way. Then again, her brother often forgets about this. Shaving Agon's head. More generally, showing him that there's somebody better than him out there or ignoring him completely. | |

Improbable Aiming Skills | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_bcd27e37 | comment |
Improbable Aiming Skills: Almost every major quarterback is shown to have these. This is Takami's most prominent ability, beside his height. The Kid is practically an Olympic champion of sharp-shooting. Hiruma uses this for everything. Karin brings this to a new level: all her passes are supposed to be catchable, no matter where the receiver is or how he's doing... well, as long as they're in Teikoku Alexanders, anyway. Subverted with Homer, who doesn't have any accuracy and relies on power and his receiver to do anything. | |

Mind Screw | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_bef696dd | comment |
Subverted with the Chris Cross play first shown as a card at a rest stop during the Death March. The play was called their trump card when fighting the Teikoku Alexanders (around 200 chapters later), with Sena and Monta as the pair running in the play. They screw up and fumble the ball, with the Alexanders gaining possession. Played straight later on in the same game when Hiruma turns it into the Evil Cross, one of the most Mind Screwing plays in the entire series, second only to the Dragon Fly. Later, it's used by Hiruma and Agon in the match against America in the World Cup. | |

Opposing Sports Team: Dozens of them.

Teikoku, however, plays it a little straight. The team's structure forces players to compete against each other to get to the first string. | |

In a rare in-universe example, NASA Aliens/Shuttles players had a habit of showing their body to impress girls... except it plainly doesn't work. None of them are aware of this. Similarly, the beach football team "Sexy Queens" had a habit of showing their "beautiful" (by their own standards; they frankly look like Borat, swimsuits and all) bodies, and wearing easy-to-tear material in beach football games to do so. | |

Curb Stomp Cushion: The Devil Bats' (and Sena's) first game against the White Knights ends with them losing hard. However, Sena invokes this trope by asking Hiruma and the others to help him get one last attempt to get past Shin. And he pulls it off... scoring a touchdown in a game that was otherwise going to be a complete shut-out. | |

Shout-Out | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: Unbelievably, the manga has a little shout out to Marvel Comics' infamous NFL Superpro. Seriously. In addition to many shouts out to other Shonen Jump manga; Toganou is almost always seen reading Shonen Jump, as well, and created a manga that combines elements of many manga serialized in Jump... including Eyeshield 21. Other Jump shout-outs show up throughout the series. A filler episode in the anime has every member of the team dress up as Eyeshield and do an homage to Naruto's shadow clone technique. Ken Kamaguruma of the Taiyo Sphinx is clearly based on Jean-Pierre Polnareff from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, from his hair to his "Chariot" techniques. In the episode where the Devil Bats go on a one-night cruise before a big game, someone eats their dinners, and Suzuna turns the episode into a mix between Case Closed and Phoenix Wright. A blatant shout out to Detective Conan starts with a set of doors opening and closing between breaks. Many players in this manga are based on certain players in the NFL, or other famous people. Shin, for example, is both a Kenshiro Clone and a Bruce Lee Clone. The Bando Spiders' uniform is basically a football version of Spiderman's iconic costume. A Fourth-Wall Mail Slot column talking about how easygoing Ishimaru is claims that it'd take something like "kidnapping him and turning him into a cyborg for a black-market organization" to rile him. While trying to think of a way to get past Yamato, Taki suggests Sena dig underground, a reference to Naruto's fight with Neji. Some of the Kanto team's mascots are shout-outs to other works. For example, the Kita Eskimo's mascot is Ice Man. While tailing Agon in Chapter 313, Suzuna brags "I may have a child's body, but I have an adult's brain! I will solve this mystery for the honor of my grandfather!" Sena even points out "You've got your detectives all mixed up!" | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_c7f294da | comment |
Large and in Charge: Played straight and subverted. Mr. Don of team USA played this straight, as well as Rodchenko of the Russian Team. There are several subversions, though: Teams led by less-than-competent players, while his second-in command is larger and more competent, like the Kyoshin Poseidons (nominally led by Kobanzame, who defers practically every decision to the tall Kakei, including recruiting and tactical planning), the Taiyou Sphinx (led by Harao, but held together by rock-solid Center Banba), and the Hakushuu Dinosaurs (led by Marco, a talented player and a capable leader, but their biggest strength is Rikiya Gaou, without whom they wouldn't be half the team they are). Another type of subversion: Shinryuji is led by the biggest player, 3rd year senior Yamabushi, but the team is pretty much steered by Agon or Unsui. And of course, averted with the Deimon Devilbats, who are led by Hiruma - who is average sized but thin, and for a short period by rather petite Sena. | |

Freudian Excuse | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_c868a42a | comment |
Freudian Excuse: Less than you'd think. There is no explanation what so ever for Agon's behaviour - the man is just plain evil. People enabling him since he is that good since birth at everything didn't help. Gaou seems to break bones for the fun of it. While he does enjoy it, he always goes full strength against every opponent, believing it insulting to not go against an enemy with everything he has. It is hinted that Hiruma has a far from normal relationship with his father, but it doesn't explain his manipulative, borderline sadistic, nature at all. Apollo's hatred of black is due to losing his place in the NFL to a cocky one who is naturally good while he was hardworking. He is still horribly racist toward Japanese for no reason. | |

I Know Madden Kombat: Full of it. Mizumachi uses a swimming technique as a lineman. The defensive line of Seibu tries to use street-fighting on the field, which failed since their enemy (the Ha Ha Bros) had been fighting almost constantly since middle school. Zokugaku also reverts to brutal fist-fighting when all else fails. And let's talk about how Sena got his speed in the first place.... | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_ca04edd6 | comment |
Charles Atlas Superpower: Sena's speed and near-inhuman footwork came from constant training... via running errands and evading bullies for 10 years. Monta's incredible catching ability came from 10 years of training only in catching, which is why his throws are sooo bad.... Karin's throwing ability came for years of drawing shoujo manga and playing piano. Which was her actual hobby from the beginning. Yamato Takeru's ability was implied to come like this, too. He was tackled by stronger people in America in and out of the field for being Japanese and kept on training. Unsui was born without natural talent, and is called the strongest average person, a title he gained through intense training. Shin is this compared to Agon, a comparison directly referred to in the manga. He has talent, but the truly scary thing about him is his willingness to train his body to the limit. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_cc427069 | comment |
Hard Work Hardly Works: A theme of the manga is that there are physical limits that can't be broken through hard work and the other team as a whole worked hard too. The point is that it shouldn't stop you from playing and training as even if you lose a hundred times against someone better than there are opportunities where you will win once. Unsui's inablity to catch up to Agon. Leonard Apollo, during his time in the NFL, trained three times as much as anyone else, but never made it to the starting lineup and was junked in favor of a Deion Sanders-like ace. The Yuuhi Guts, who work super hard but are still a below-average team. Played straight with Yukimitsu, who works harder than anybody and still isn't good enough to start at the beginning of the fall tournament. Subverted during the Shinryūji game, as it works in Yukimitsu's favor against genius and hyper-talented Agon. The Zokugaku Chameleons, who trained long and hard all summer for the fall tournament, but lost in the second round. Subverted with the Devil Bats as a whole, though. There are numerous scenes where they're shown pushing themselves at practice, and that's not even counting the Death March. Subverted especially in case of Sena and Monta, as their hard works paid off in awesome way with Sena's amazing footwork and speed, and Monta's ability to "read" and "listen" to the ball, making him able to predict ball movement. Hiruma mentions that no matter how hard he works out his physical ability as quaterback will never make it to the NFL, that's why he goes with trick plays since if it's bluffing he can't lose. | |

Muscles Are Meaningless | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_cf9b131f | comment |
Muscles Are Meaningless: Subverted and played straight at the same time. Akaba, Chuubou, the Ha Ha brothers all show that muscles are not everything. Shin has quite a lot of muscle, and was even stronger than the comparatively gigantic Ootawara for a long time. Rodchenko is the world champion of weightlifting, but Chuubou easily counters him. The Amino Cyborgs, particularly Atsushi Munakata, all had impressive muscles, but the Devilbats make quick work of them. However, to be fair, there are players who have huge muscles and impressive power, like Gaou and Mr. Don. There's also Daisuke Atsumi, the captain of the Yuuhi Guts. Despite being so muscular that he practically lacks a freaking neck, he's a below-average player on a below-below-average team of perennial losers. Muscles Are Meaningful: You can still rate physical power from their build, though. | |

Agon is a Born Winner so no matter how despicable he is he will always get away with it. His coach even tells the team that if they copy Agon's behavior he'll drown them under a waterfall since they aren't once in a century freak of nature like Agon. Even the Humble Pie he receives from Deimon is light for the guy who throws football at someone's eye. | |

Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: Shun Kakei's "fox eyes", though he just really hates Eyeshield posers. Agon can turn it on and off by removing his glasses to charm the ladies and putting it back when he is in his "crush trash" mode. Marco's first hint of how dangerous he can be is his eyes fixing the ball like a predator. | |

Hand Wave | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_dbb414ed | comment |
Even though it's a shonen series and thus we can expect liberties with everything, but the portrayal of American Football is at times just plain wrong. Even with the Hand Wave of "American football is a violent sport", the referees should be showing up more than twice in the entire series, particular when Gaou starts maiming people with no apparent issue to force a concede due to a lack of linebackers. In real life, this would've immediately got him backlisted from playing after the first few incidents and possibly the school as well if they were complicit and/or aware of what he is doing under cheating charges, in which they are in here. Even Shin's Spear/Trident Tackle would land him in hot water as they hit below the chest (which is illegal) and any resultant injury from his strength would have got him banned as well. Still, it gets the basic rules right, especially under Japanese rules at that time. | |

Ship Tease | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_dcb9c541 | comment |
Ship Tease: There was a considerable amount of Ship Teasing for both Sena/Suzuna and Hiruma/Mamori throughout the series... though ultimately, nothing was confirmed. But you mustn't forget, this is a Shounen manga. Also, the scene with Marco and Maria after the Dinosaurs lose. We don't know what exactly was said, but given that Marco is the poster boy for Love Makes You Evil, and she's in the middle of saying he didn't have to go as far as he did to impress her, right before it fades out... something must have happened. Rui and Megumi also get teased a bit in the side chapters. For Hiruma and Mamori, the fact that she chose to stay as Hiruma's manager in the Distant Finale when every member of their team is now split up is quite telling. Sena and Suzuna likewise join the same club. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Musashi was initially introduced as the carpenter working on the club house long before he was revealed as one of the founding members of the Deimon Devil Bats, and their ex-kicker. Marco also seemed to be of little consequence at first, appearing no more important than the other throwaway captains in the Kanto tournament. In fact, the Dinosaurs as a team are first mentioned as early as chapter 52 when they're listed with a bunch of other teams. While the other teams end up not having any significance at all, they advance to the Kanto finals. Similarly but not to the same degree, the Poseidons were originally mentioned in chapter 89 as one of the teams in the fall tournament, but their write-up was shorter than most and jokey at that, basically implying that they're a silly team of losers on the order of the Cupids. For that matter, the Ha-Ha Brothers, who first appeared as the nameless bullies antagonizing Sena in the first chapter before ending up (unwillingly at first) joining the team later. Subverted by Miyake, one of the students who tried out for the team at the same time as Yukimitsu and Komusubi; Introduced with Boss Subtitles, given a motivation, close-ups... clearly this guy is going to be important, right? Nah. He washed out of the tryouts during the Hell Tower phase, and now he's just a comic background character who hangs out with Jerk Jock soccer player Muro. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_ddb220f5 | comment |
Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!: Mostly verbal. Takami did the straight slap, though, as well as the Ha Ha Bros literally kicking some sense into Komusubi. When Harao begin to chide his teammates for their failures, Banba calls him out, pointing out his shortcomings as a quarterback. When Natsuhiko Taki realizes that he is nothing compared to fellow Tight End Akaba Hayato, Musashi grinds his pride to dust with the truth that Taki isn't the special talent blessed by the gods that he claims to be. Then "Is that it? Ha, ha, ha.... I realized it now. That's why I always failed at everything. I didn't have that kind of talent since the beginning. I should have realized it sooner.... If that's the case, SO BE IT! If God didn't give me the talent, then I'll defeat God with MY OWN POWER!! | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_e16cd24e | comment |
Know When to Fold 'Em: Despite his love for offense, Hiruma knows that sometimes, he should just give up. The first time is against Ojou, and he's rather an asshole about it. Then, in the match against Seibu, he realizes that none of his carefully crafted scenarios will work against the Kid. Musashi's appeareance changed that, though. Also his poker game against Clifford, although his tactical retreat really pissed Clifford off. Monta giving up baseball, since his ability is much more suited for American Football. | |

Talent vs. Training: Agon Kongo is a gifted football player who plays any position. His brother Unsui lacks such natural talent but makes up for it with dedication and being a better strategist.

Ambiguously Gay: Subverted with Kisaragi, who certainly seems to have a huge crush on Gaou. Ultimately, it's stated on bonus materials (Devilbats Spy bits) that while he likes girls, it's just that he only likes girls that are... *ahem* ridiculously strong. | |

Morality Pet: Kurita. Sure, Hiruma inflicts his bizarre violence all over Kurita, but the things he does for Kurita (like attending Deimon instead of Shinryuuji) show he's not as bad as he appears. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_e3d06d0c | comment |
Bash Brothers: Despite being the leaders on the opposite sides of the spectrum for their consideration on talent, Agon and Hiruma are a very effective combination. Agon who runs on pure reaction is complemented perfectly by Hiruma who works on the opposite, pure mental ability. Despite their abhorrence of each other, they work together far better than any other combination of characters on EVERY TEAM. There's also Sena and Monta, and more literally Unsui and Agon. | |

Art Evolution: The shift from Murata's earlier, rougher style of anatomy and linework to the smoother, well-toned style he'd utilize in One-Punch Man is in full display throughout. Most any characters who weren't intentionally designed to be straight-up cartoony like Kurita and Komusubi got more conventionally attractive without losing what made them distinctive. | |

Artistic License – Sports | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_e462893a | comment |
Artistic License – Sports: Even though it's a shonen series and thus we can expect liberties with everything, but the portrayal of American Football is at times just plain wrong. Even with the Hand Wave of "American football is a violent sport", the referees should be showing up more than twice in the entire series, particular when Gaou starts maiming people with no apparent issue to force a concede due to a lack of linebackers. In real life, this would've immediately got him backlisted from playing after the first few incidents and possibly the school as well if they were complicit and/or aware of what he is doing under cheating charges, in which they are in here. Even Shin's Spear/Trident Tackle would land him in hot water as they hit below the chest (which is illegal) and any resultant injury from his strength would have got him banned as well. Still, it gets the basic rules right, especially under Japanese rules at that time. Sena being a successful player in general is an unlikely heaping of artistic license. Running speed is really not that valuable in American Football. Many NFL hopefuls that put up 4.2 second 40-yard dashes or other impressive stats in pre-draft workouts (The NFL Combine) but lack any real fundamentals are known as 'Workout Warriors' or 'Combine Warriors' and have become a well-known cautionary tale for NFL team managers and coaches. Sena's story works for a shonen manga and at high school level play, but realistically, a player with Sena's speed but utter lack of game knowledge or other noteworthy traits would surely doom him to be perennially unsigned or, at best, a short-lived draft bust in the NFL. Takeru Yamato is much more the picture of what a typical running back is than Sena or Riku. Wide Receivers and cornerbacks are actually the positions with the highest 40-yard dash times. The average is only a .01 second variance, but still. Of the highest recorded 40-yard dash times from the NFL combine, only 2 are running backs. The rest are all receivers and corners (plus 1 safety). Which makes sense when you think about it - those are the positions that have to run long routes. Running backs mostly have to be sturdy, able to cut quickly and break tackles as they bust through the line of scrimmage. It is later explained by Yamato that the reason he considers Sena to be a better Runningback is his cuts are insane effectively meaning Sena can suddenly move in any direction at any point of his run combined with his speed, making him impossible to catch and improbable to stop. Which would actually make him a far better slot receiver (who generally work the middle of the field and catch short quick passes). | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_e5421161 | comment |
Expy: Ikkyu seems to be based on Vegeta, having the exact same hairdo, having a similar short stature, and being similarly prideful. Possibly Kobanzame from the Kyoshin Poseidons. He has a slightly longer-than average nose, lies about his confidence and abilities on a regular basis, claims any good idea that comes up is his, is incredibly accurate (albeit only over short distances), secretly has absolutely no self-esteem, believes that he is holding all of his friends back but is too terrified of being alone/loves the team so much that he simply will not quit, and is good at his job precisely because he's a horrible coward. Sounds very similar to Usopp from One Piece, doesn't it? Joe Tetsuma looks like Duke Togo, never changes his facial expression, practically never speaks and follows orders to absolute precision. Strangely enough, he catches bullets rather than shooting them. The manager for the Yuuhi Guts is a basically just a female Domon Kasshu, while their QB Atsumi resembles Baki of Baki the Grappler. | |

Many of the characters, especially for the Devilbats, get their Determinator moments. The line "I'll do it even if it kills me!" shows up a lot. Even Hiruma gets his Determinator moment when he returns to the game after having his throwing arm broken. | |

Freudian Trio: Oodles. Ojou: Id: Ootawara (Dumb Muscle) Ego: Sakuraba (the most normal) Superego: Shin or Takami (Takami is more typically intelligent while Shin is the least emotional) Shinryuuji: Id: Agon (relies on his talent and instinct) Ego: Ikkyu (prideful but reasonable) Superego: Unsui (the most cautious of the three) Seibu: Id: Riku (actions based on emotions rather then what's strategic) Ego: Kid (intelligent, but insecure) Superego: Tetsuma (the one whose emotions are the most controlled) Taiyou: Id: Kasamatsu (easily enraged and tricked) or Kamagaruma (impulsive) Ego: Harao (reasonably intelligent, but hampered by insecurity) Superego: Banba (the real brains of the team) Poseidon: Id: Mizumachi (lives for fun) Ego: Kobanzame Superego: Kakei (thinks the most strategically of the 3) Bando: Id: Kotaro (values passion most) Ego: Juri (only sane man) Superego: Akaba (values intellegence most) Hakushuu: Id: Gao (animal instincts personified) Ego: Maria (desires victory, but not at the expense of others). Alternately, one could argue that Kisiragi is the Ego: he's Marco's Left Hand in contrast to Gaou's Right, worships strength every bit as much as Gaou does, but relies on brainpower to use his strength effectively, putting him right between the two of them. Superego: Marco (goes for the most straight forward path to victory regardless of those he hurts) Teikoku: Id: Yamato (plays for the love of competing) Ego: Karin (the peace keeper) Superego: Taka (the intellectual) Team America: Id: Panther Ego: Mr. Don Superego: Clifford | |

Jerkass | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_eb8e4fa8 | comment |
Jerkass: Hiruma. Admittedly, Mamori tends to call him on it, but this guy waves his guns around in the middle of school and everything's just ducky. Agon is a much bigger jerkass than Hiruma. Hiruma at least cares about football and his team. Agon doesn't even care about his teammates, especially in the International Youth Cup arc where his cunning plan, as Hiruma points out, amounts to "When we're losing, the great me will save everyone". Everyone hates him so much for this, they decide to foil his plan and beat their opponents with all their strength. They do so. In the end, however, he mellows a little bit. Kakei started as one, but his experience in the USA and his meeting with Yamato Takeru changed him. He still believed in superiority of physique in American Football... until a certain shrimp forced him to reconsider his beliefs. While Mizumachi sometimes acts like a dick toward shorter players, even pushing Komusubi to want to leave the team. He's not really a jerkass, he's just very tactless. Harao is quite a jerkass, until Banba scolds him for that. All the members of the American Pentagon are fairly unpleasant (with the obvious exception of Panther, Sena's Worthy Opponent) but Mr. Don takes the cake. He had Yamato, who at the time was hailed as Eyeshield 21, the strongest running back at Notre Dame High School, expelled from the team (it's implied by abusing his power as the son of the US president) just because it offended his sensibilities that someone so obviously inferior (i.e Japanese) would claim the title. And he wears an almost permanent sneer. Yamato's revenge is a moment of great joy. | |

Mundane Utility: Sena uses his run to take back a letter from one of the Huh Huh Brothers, Hiruma uses his Improbable Aiming Skills to make fun of people, and the Youth Cup arc featured a "uselessly badass" pillow fight between the players of Team Japan. Mizumachi pretends to attack Agon at one point late in the manga...purely to cause him to react with his Godspeed Impulse straight into a high five with Sena and Shin. | |

Miracle Rally: The Devil Bats often find themselves trailing by a huge number, especially against strong teams like the Shinryuji Nagas and the Teikoku Alexanders.

Unskilled, but Strong: Gaou Rikiya is a first year that only recently started playing, but is a beast strong enough to force a north-south game and broke every lineman and quarterback he is gone up against. Rodchenko, in the World Cup holds the world record in bench pressing, but since he's a rookie in football, and not very fast, he was stopped by the small Chuubo. On the whole, the Yuuhi Guts team formed out of members of other teams. While they are certainly have their skill on their respective sports and are in really good physical condition, they barely know anything about football, so they crumble in front of Deimon's trick plays. | |

Fission Mailed: When the team loses the Fall Tournament semifinal, everyone breaks down in tears, until Hiruma reveals they still have a chance in the consolation game. At the end of the game against Shinryuuji, the clock runs out when Monta is tackled too far up the field for the Devil Bats to get set up to stop it with a spike and the game is over. Then the ref calls for the clock to be wound back because Monta was tackled out of bounds -he caught the boundary line on his way down- and 4 more seconds are put back on the clock for Deimon to win with. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_f6254414 | comment |
Cute Bruiser: Chuubou, the tiny middle schooler on the Japanese World Cup team. He may not look like much and he might act like even less, but he's got an explosive power that can stop both Yamato and Rodchenko in their tracks. Of course, this has the unexpected (and undesirable) side effect of catching the attention of Japan's #1 benchpresser and #1 (almost literal) player killer, Rikiya Gaou, who owns him completely at the first try. Later, Chuubou manages to improve and later knocks Gaou out, which promptly reignites his interest in the technique, leading to Gaou doing a variation of the technique. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_f788b2c5 | comment |
Love Makes You Evil: Marco. He was actually a pretty decent guy until he realized average guys couldn't defeat Teikoku. He then resolved to do anything, including (and often) crippling anyone who gets between him and showing Himuro "the morning sunshine after a victory." | |

Put Me In, Coach! | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_f8fc95d3 | comment |
Put Me In, Coach!: Panther and his whole team knelt down for this. Panther went on to beat back Deimon for the win. The Yuuhi Guts manage to score a single touchdown and overall give better performances than the hastily created "team" of other teams' aces. Manabu Yukimitsu, of all people, scores the first touchdown against the Shinryujii Nagas. Shin tries to do this with regards to an offensive tactic during Ojou's first game against the Naga, however he is denied because they had not practiced the ballista enough. | |

Unnecessary Roughness | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_f935efbf | comment |
Unnecessary Roughness: One of the most common complaints about Eyeshield 21- that players eventually start outright brawling and even maiming each other on the field (one player ended every game by breaking the arms of every quarterback he faced) and it's regarded as just "part of the game". Which it isn't. Gaou IS insanely strong and breaks everyone's arms. He has managed to pass it off as just being a result of that... Everything else is just unnecessary roughness, including throwing punches and even martial arts moves, not to mention linebackers throwing the small protagonist around the field. One of the worse offender is probably Mr. Don, the American best lineman who made a time out to declare to the audience he will kill a linebacker and then proceed to savagely tackle said linebacker. He also try to sack the quaterback out of commission like the other player in the first play. However more than the liberties about the contact rules Mr.Don is the president's son (not of the league , of the U.S.A) so he might get away with a lot. | |

Running Gag | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_f9f2c33 | comment |
Running Gag: Several. Shin's cluenessness with technology, Monta's inability to throw, Mamori's inability to draw, Ishimaru's plainness... Also passing birds cheeping "Ahou!" (which translates to 'Stupid!') when someone does something particularly idiotic. Commonly occurs with Taki. Whenever anyone kicks anyone without saying a word, it's a compliment. At first Hiruma used it, the the Ha-Ha Bros adopted it, and now... pretty much everyone does it. | |

Public Bathhouse Scene | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_fa9288ad | comment |
Public Bathhouse Scene: A scene has Monta, Sena, Mamori, and Suzuna meet their old enemies, the Poseidons, at a bath house. While Monta and Sena try to get intel on their next opponent, the Bando Spiders, Mizumachi tries to peek on a not-quite-Skinship Grope between Mamori and Suzuna. It also leads to the normally shy and quiet Sena having an Imagine Spot of Suzuna, with nothing but a Modesty Towel held against her front. | |

| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_fad7b727 | comment |
Fun with Foreign Languages: The NASA Aliens' Gonzales brothers have some interesting kanji tattoos due to Watt's cluelessness regarding the language. More specifically, the older Gonzales' tattoo reads "Big Shit" (which is somewhat appropriate) and the younger one's reads "Piss." | |

Beware the Nice Ones | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_fccd06b6 | comment |
Beware the Nice Ones: Subverted with Hiruma, you know something is going to be wrong when he starts act nicely. Played a little straight with Sena; he might be a coward, but piss him enough by insulting his teammate and you'll pay a big price. Kurita is one too. No, not that he has a dark side or anything; Kurita's simply too nice of a guy who doesn't know his own strength when it comes to personal interaction (especially hugging.) And when he's excited enough on field, you don't want to face him. Takami, who is generally a really swell guy. It's just that occasionally he really just gets into the zone, and he can be very intimidating at those times. | |

Attack! Attack! Attack! | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_ff070bbd | comment |
Despite his love for offense, Hiruma knows that sometimes, he should just give up. The first time is against Ojou, and he's rather an asshole about it. Then, in the match against Seibu, he realizes that none of his carefully crafted scenarios will work against the Kid. Musashi's appeareance changed that, though. Also his poker game against Clifford, although his tactical retreat really pissed Clifford off. | |

Talking Is a Free Action | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_ff5a74c8 | comment |
Talking Is a Free Action: The players manage to fit astonishingly long stretches of dialogue and thought into actions which probably take place in the blink of an eye - while running, throwing, blocking, catching. It's amazing they have enough breath to play. Subverted when Kotarou of the Bando Spiders had to call a time out to... passionately tell the history of his team. And even then he managed to fit a whole flashback within 90 seconds. | |

Pet the Dog | |
| Eyeshield 21 (Manga) / int_ff7f34c5 | comment |
In an omake, Hiruma had a literal Pet the Dog opportunity, which he completely ignored until it turned out the dog's sad little puppy face was a trap to trick a potential victim into coming close enough to become food. Hiruma and Cerberus are really made for each other. | |
