As Jumonji tackles the Taiyo's quarterback, Kiminari Harao, Eyeshield 21 recovers the fumble to change the possession of the ball and the tide of the game. By half-time, Deimon catches up with Taiyo leading by only one point (13–12). However, Taiyo introduces a new cornerback named Ken Kamaguruma, whose bump technique throws off Hiruma's passing timing and Monta's ability to catch. When only a minute is left on the timer, Hiruma throws a long pass, and despite being constantly attacked by Kamagura, Monta catches the ball and makes a touchdown, putting Deimon two points behind with seconds left (20–18). The game ends in a tie after Eyeshield jumps Taiyo's defensive line with the Devil Bat Dive to score a two-point conversion.

Hiruma counters this wager by saying that the Devil Bats would leave Japan if they did not win by 10 points. Meanwhile in America, Nasa Aliens' star player, Patrick 'Panther' Spencer, is reduced to being a ball boy because of Apollo's racism.

Both teams argue about the wind as a deciding factor for them, and in the first attack, Kotaro demonstrates it by scoring a field goal with a swerving kick (20–7). When the wind prevents Hiruma from passing, it seems the only available play is to run. However, Sena is stopped by Akaba several times, until he surprises Bando by passing backward to Hiruma, who uses his real pass ability to have Monta scoring a touchdown (20–14). Both Kotaro and Musashi score field goals for their teams (23–17) as Taki fails twice to block Akaba. When there is around only one minute left, Taki is able to stop Bando's runner and it forces Kotaro to kick the ball. Sena retrieves the ball and crosses all the field in the speed light to score a touchdown. After Deimon win by 24–23, Ojo win over Seibu that had to rely only on Riku because Tetsuma was suspended when he attacked Monta to prevent him from attacking the referee. Some days later, the Devil Bats discover their first match in the Kanto Tournament will be against the nine-time winners Shinryuji Naga. Later, Agon Kongo and Hiruma are invited to an interview with reporter Riko, who wants to interview Kanto's aces. |

So Hiruma stages a fight between him and Musashi over Sena's state and in the following play Sena ignores Agon to successfully blitz Unsui. In the next play, Sena overcomes Agon by attacking him when he disdains about their Christmas Bowl dream and scores a touchdown (35–28). With five minutes remaining, Ikkyu joins Agon and Unsui to form a three-quarterback 'Golden Dragon Fly' that is unstoppable. When Unsui punts the ball, there is only minute left for Deimon's attack that initiates from 97 yards to Shinryuji's line. Deimon advances just a few yards using tactics to stop the clock, like getting the ball outside the field and spiking. Initially they use the rule that any player, except for those on the furthermost line, can move freely to have Yukimitsu helping to block but unexpectedly they use it to throw a long pass to Monta. Although he can surpass Ikkyu he is still 20 yards to the goal line when he is stopped by Agon and the time ends. However, Monta reveals his hand was out of the field when he fell. So there is four seconds left when Hiruma asks the audience to scream louder. | |||||

Hiruma's appeal to the public was just a diversion and the play starts with Kurita passing to Sena instead of Hiruma. However, Sena's run is also a diversion and he passes again to Hiruma, who scores a touchdown (35–34). As the time is out they can only complete their conversion attempt, and they decide to go to a two-point conversion because Sena would not be able to run in an overtime. It seems Hiruma is going to run but he passes the ball to Sena who tries to catch it in air. The ball escapes from Sena's hand and it seems Agon will catch it but them Kurita shows his incredible strength blocking four players and Sena is able to complete the conversion. In the following match, Tayo Sphinx forfeit after Hakushu Dinosaurs' Rikiya Gao injuries all linemen. After Seibu beat Misaki Wolves, Shin requests Riku to teach his running technique so he can perfect his tackle. During Ojo's win over Sado Strong Golem, Shin shows his new ability and Sena longs to face him in the semi-finals. | |||||

During Ojo high school's festival, Hiruma discovers Ojo won over their university counterpart and that they have a tactic known as 'Ballista' in which Shin also play as an offensive player. To oppose Ojo, Deimon do a special training in which the players wear surgical masks during all day to improve their stamina. When the match starts, Sena takes the kickoff and runs until he is stopped by lineman Daigo Ikari. Out of control, Ikari tries to attack Sena out of the field and is stopped by Jumonji. In their field confrotation, however, Jumonji loses to Ikari, forcing Hiruma to come up with a new tactic. They then attack with four potential receivers—Monta, Sena, Taki and Yukimitsu—and Monta advances some yards. As it is clear Monta is better than the deffensive player marking him, Sakuraba is requested to play both on offense and defense. When it occurs, Deimon's first three attack attempts are blocked by Sakuraba or Shin. Then in the last down Musashi converts a field goal, even with Shin's pressure. | |||||

Eyeshield 21 (Japanese: アイシールド21Hepburn: Aishīrudo Nijūichi) is a Japanese manga series written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. The series tells the story of Sena Kobayakawa, an introverted boy who joins an American football club as a secretary, but after being coerced by Yoichi Hiruma, turns out to play wearing an eyeshield and the number 21, under the pseudonym of 'Eyeshield 21'. Inagaki chose American football as a central subject of Eyeshield 21 after realizing that it fit perfectly with his idea for the series.
The manga was originally serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump from July 2002 to June 2009. The series consists of 333 chapters collected in 37 tankōbon volumes. An anime adaptation consisting of 145 television episodes was co-produced by TV Tokyo, NAS, and Gallop. The television series first aired on Japan's TV Tokyo network from April 6, 2005, to March 19, 2008. The Eyeshield 21 franchise has spawned two original video animations (OVAs), audio albums, video games, and other merchandise.
In North America, the manga was released by Viz Media from April 2005 to October 2011. The anime series was later licensed in North America by Toonami Jetstream as a joint effort with Viz Media and aired on December 17, 2007, on its site, but before its completion, the streaming service was shut down. The whole series was streamed in English by Crunchyroll, while Sentai Filmworks licensed the series, with distribution from Section23 Films on DVDs.
In Japan, the Eyeshield 21 manga has sold over 20 million volumes. The manga and anime have been featured at various times in weekly top ten lists of best-selling in their respective media. The anime has been watched by a large number of television viewers in Japan, helping to raise American football's popularity in the country. Publications for manga, anime, and others have commented on Eyeshield 21, which received positive comments for its artwork and characters, and negative responses to its non-football scenes.

Plot[edit]
In Tokyo,[note 1] a weak, unassertive boy named Sena Kobayakawa enters the high school of his choice—Deimon Private Senior High School. Sena's only remarkable physical abilities are his running speed and agility, which are noted by the school's American football team captain Yoichi Hiruma. Hiruma forces Sena to join the Deimon Devil Batsfootball team as its running back. To protect his identity from other teams who want to recruit him, Sena is forced to publicly assume the role of the team secretary and enter the field under the pseudonym of 'Eyeshield 21' wearing a helmet with an eyeshield to hide his features. The makeshift team initially takes part in the spring football tournament hoping to win through the strength of their new 'secret weapon'. However, the extremely weak team is eliminated early by the Ojo White Knights, one of the best football teams in Japan.
After Deimon's defeat, the spring tournament is revealed as secondary in importance to the fall tournament, where the teams compete for the chance to play in the Christmas Bowl—the high school football league championship. Hiruma, Ryokan Kurita, and Sena regroup and slowly build a real team from misfits and students looking to define themselves, such as Tarō 'Monta' Raimon—a baseball player who can only catch—and the Ha-Ha Brothers. Other characters slowly join the team, and the series follows the building and growth of the Deimon Devil Bats and its members, and rival teams as they all strive to achieve their goal of playing in the Christmas Bowl.
Some time after the Deimon Devil Bats win the Christmas Bowl and they become the best team in the country, Japan begins to gather the best football players to form a team to represent it at the American Football Youth World Championship, where a Most Valuable Player (MVP) will be awarded an NFL contract and $3 million. Team Japan reaches the final against Team America, in which the game ends as a tie, and both teams are declared winners. Both teams are unsatisfied with this and return to the field for their own, improvised 'overtime', causing chaos with officials. It is unclear which team wins the unofficial extra period, but Panther of Team America holds the MVP trophy aloft, winning the professional contract with the San Antonio Armadillos.
The series concludes with Sena becoming the captain of the Devil Bats after Hiruma and Kurita leave school to attend college. In his final year of high school, Sena is invited to Notre Dame High School. In the final chapter, the main characters are in college or playing amateur-league football while employed.
Production[edit]
Before the series was published regularly, Riichiro Inagaki and Yusuke Murata published two one-shots called Eyeshield Part 1 (前編Zenpen) and Part 2 (後編Kōhen) on March 5 and 12, 2002 in Weekly Shōnen Jump.[4][5][6] When it would become a serial, the editorial department asked if Inagaki wanted to both write and draw the series, but Inagaki felt he was 'so rookie'.[7] So he asked Murata to be the illustrator. Before being asked to work on Eyeshield 21, Murata had read some of Inagaki's manga and noted that they 'had many cool design concepts of uniforms and equipment'. He said, 'it could be turned into a great manga story' and he would 'be happy to take the challenge'; eventually he was chosen.[8]
During Eyeshield 21's original run in the magazine, Inagaki went to the United States to see college football matches,[9] and National Football League games.[10] Despite having never played American football, Inagaki chose this theme after deciding that he wanted to create 'a protagonist that was wimpy at the beginning, yet could perform outstandingly in a sports game', and with this premise in mind he decided that American football would be 'a very suitable material.'[8] When originally creating Eyeshield 21, Inagaki said he was wary because he did not want his manga becoming 'a simulator of football'.[11] The fact that football is not a popular sport in Japan also worried Inagaki. As last resort, he thought to turn the series into a 'Kamen Rider-style masked hero story' if it could not met the popularity required for the magazine.[12]

Popularity[edit]
The manga has sold more than 20 million copies in Japan;[120] individual volumes frequently appeared on top ten lists of best-selling manga there (see table). Individual volumes have appeared in Diamond Comic Distributors's lists of 300 best-selling graphic novels in North America several times.[121][122][123] In 2011, the Japanese website Ameba conducted a 'Top 10' online web poll of the 'Best Shōnen Jump Manga of the 21st Century' and Eyeshield 21 was placed seventh,[124][125] although in another poll of the best Shōnen Jump titles that the readers nonetheless did not want to continue reading, Eyeshield 21 ranked twentieth.[126] The anime adaptation was also featured several times in Japanese television rankings,[127][128] with the first episode having a 7.5 percent television viewership rating.[129] In 2006, Japanese television network TV Asahi conducted a poll for the top hundred anime, and Eyeshield 21 was placed 47th.[130] Moreover, Eyeshield 21's series is credited with increasing the number of Japanese teenagers playing American football.[131][132]
Reviews[edit]
Critics have generally given the Eyeshield 21 manga positive reviews. Deb Aoki from About.com wrote that tying with Bleach, Eyeshield 21 was the best continuing shōnen manga of 2007, because it 'has well-written characters, dynamic artwork, nail-biting cliffhangers, plus a winning mix of comedy, action and drama'.[133] On the 2008 list, Aoki listed Eyeshield 21 as the best continuing shōnen, as it was able to '[come] into its own' from other shōnen series.[134] In that same year, Pop Culture Shock's Sam Kusek elected it the best continuing manga series.[135] Chris Zimmerman of Comic Book Bin was positive on his review of the volumes 30–33; he affirmed it is 'one of the best shonen titles out there' and described it as 'a superb series, with well developed characters, intense action, and touching humor.'[136] Scott Campbell of Active Anime commented it is an 'action-filled' series with great artwork and humor, and that it 'has managed to continually get more and more dynamic with each volume'.[137]
Jarred Pine from Mania.com praised the humor and how the creators 'bring out the energy and excitement of the game for the readers'.[138][139] June Shimonishi reviewing for School Library Journal, wrote that it 'delivers a fresh and entertaining take on all the standard sports clichés'. She also said that its art is 'superb .. with every inch filled with details and no gag left unseen'.[140] Zac Bertschy from Anime News Network (ANN) declared Eyeshield 21 'defies convention' by turning what most might consider 'a really ridiculously bad idea' into 'something most everyone would be able to enjoy'.[141] Carlo Santos from ANN called it a 'typical sports story', writing that what make it an above average series are its characters and artwork. He also wrote that people who think American football is boring 'may change their minds after seeing the action sequences in Eyeshield 21.'[142] Later, Santos said, '[a] lot of familiar clichés show themselves' in Eyeshield 21, and that '[t]he storyline also does a sloppy job of keeping track of the game .. making it even less believable than it already is'.[143] However, overall, he considered the story has good art, action and pace, featuring 'pure sports storytelling at its finest'.[143]
The anime adaptation of Eyeshield 21 received positive and mixed responses. Bobby Cooper from DVD Talk praised how the rules of American football are 'explained to a foreign audience that has no clue what it's all about', adding that instructions at the commercial breaks 'were informative and similar to the Go lessons of Hikaru No Go.' He also said the explanations was 'hilarious', but that 'Eyeshield 21 is an excellent introduction to football'.[144] The on-field action was also praised, with he saying the sports action is 'where Eyeshield 21 truly shines', although he criticized the scenes away from the football field, 'the pacing slows to a crawl and the storyline gets a little boring'.[145] In her review, Erin Finnegan from Anime News Network stated, '[t]he pace of Eyeshield 21 is its saving grace. It's way less boring than all the time outs and commercial breaks in a regular NFL game. Football is hard to understand, but Eyeshield 21 explains the Byzantine rules .. in an entertaining way. We're never left waiting for the ref's decision for long minutes like in real life. A lot of dramatic tension carries the action between plays.'[146] Finnegan also criticized the artwork, saying, 'any episode [of the show] without a game is clearly farmed out to an inferior animation studio'.[147] Chris Beveridge from Mania Entertainment wrote that Eyeshield 21 'has a good solid story idea, showing a young man finding his way through sports by finding friends and realizing he has potential, but it is so sidelined so often that it's frustrating to see it deal with situations as it does.'[148]
Notes[edit]
- ^Inagaki said that Eyeshield 21 is set in Tokyo, 'but perhaps not in the center of the city—more in the suburbs.' He added that this is 'not very significant' and that aspects of the two creators' hometowns are reflected in the setting.[3]
