Here are the summary and details for Eyeshield 21. VOLUME 1: THE BOY WITH THE GOLDEN LEGS Sena Kobayakawa has just managed to enter high school and on his first day, he is invited by Kurita to join an American football club. He uses his speed to escape from the Ha-Ha Brothers and, unknown to himself, is seen by Hiruma, the person in Deimon High School that Mamori, Sena's childhood friend, warned him about. Even worse, Hiruma joins the American football club and makes him an offensive player named Eyeshield 21 with an eyeshield protector helmet. After getting members from other clubs for the Spring Kantou Tournament, they face off against the Kogaihama Cupids. After Sena makes the mistake of making Ishida wear soccer shoes, Sena is forced to play and makes a win of 6-3. Just as the game's over, Mamori comes to see a beaten up Sena and confronts Hiruma to make Sena quit from the club. Notes: #Front Cover: All the characters in this volume. #Hiruma needs Kurita and Sena to get each 3 players each from other clubs to help them, Sena only gets one but Hiruma gets 18-20 players instead. The punishment is not torture as Sena thinks - but the loser who was Kurita has to carry a large amount of equipment. #Sena wears sneakers which causes him to make the second mistake. #Hiruma mentions that the score against the Ojo White Knights was 99-0. #The fourth title had foul language so I've changed it to another title. #The book has 21 bonus pages. #A big difference from the anime is that Sena does demonstrate his extreme speed to Mamaori at least once, which was when someone told Sena that Hiruma was coming his way. He ran away, with Mamori watching. In the anime, she does not know. VOLUME 2: THE FALSE HERO After Sena refuses to quit, Hiruma comes up with the idea to trick/make Mamori join the club as a secretary to protect Sena. A shocking surprise is that they have to face the Ojo White Knights in their next match. All the temporary players want more info about Eyeshield 21 from Hiruma, who tells a lie that he's from Notre Dame. During the big day, Sena nearly leaves the team after hearing that two players were injured by Seijuro Shin's attack, and that he's the primary target. But after all the players express their hope to beat them, he joins in. The Ojo White Knights are caught off guard when Sena makes a touchdown in the beginning of the match. They hope for the second touchdown but as Shin enters, everything changes. Notes: #Front Cover: Important members of Ojo White Knights. #In the chapter title, the 'Prince' refers to Haruto Sakuraba, while the 'Knight' refers to Seijuro Shin. #First humiliation by White Knights as they refer to Devil Bats as the weakest team member ever and score their first touchdown by Sena. #First appearance of Shinryuuji Team, as seen in the Kongo brothers of Agon and Unsui. VOLUME 3: AND THEY'RE CALLED THE DEVIL BATS Sena manages to make a second touchdown but in the end, his team loses. The next day, he learns that the fight for the Christmas Bowl is not over yet, and that they have to practice even harder for their Autumn Kantou Tournament, so he decides to practice in the rain. Then Sena finds a great catcher named Taro Raimon (Monta). Monta declines to join the team but, during practice, as Hiruma is looking for a receiver, Monta manages to catch his fastball with one hand. After that, Hiruma persuades Monta to join the club, which he does after hearing some lies about Mamori. The next day, the news is that the Ojo White Knights nearly lost to the Sankaku Punks by one point. Hiruma is very upset as their 12-point tactic won't work; he decides to have an exhibition match with the Zokugaku Chameleons by dressing up as Eyeshield 21. After the meeting, Sena overhears Hashibara Rui, the captain of the Zokugaku Chameleons, saying that Shin is pathetic, but Sena confronts him and disagrees. Notes: #Front Cover: Sena, Monta, Hiruma, Shin and Mamori #Monta is dropped down as a baseball player into a C-class ranking by doing nothing as a bench player. #Hiruma uses Eyeshield 21 (Sena) quite a lot. He makes up a fake message of intimidation on a broadcast of the Ojo game. He also dresses up as Eyeshield 21 and makes the Zokugaku captain angry. Sena, then dubbed "Spy 0021" in vol. 5, was "volunteered" by Hirmua for an interview with Football Monthly, so that he could hack their computers. Eyeshield 21 is on the posters, etc. #Hiruma sees Monta's affection for Mamori, so he decides to forget about the idea of using his Threat Notebook and tells a lie to Monta that Mamori joined the club because of Eyeshield 21 and was ordered by him to do the dirty work. #Sankaku Punks Teams weren't listed in the newspaper, only the manager and the school name. VOLUME 4: INTIMIDATION After Habashira leaves, the football club decides to "kill" Rice Man, a makeshift practice piece of equipment for Hiruma's passing practice, as they have Monta for a great receiver. Soon, Monta finds out Sena's secret identity and is told the truth about Hiruma's scheme, that it's all his doing. The match is at the Deimon High School field. Before the match between the Zokugaku Chameleons and the Deimon Devil Bats, the Hah Brothers search inside their clubhouse for the negatives of the naked picture in Volume 1; unfortunately, Kurita interrupts their search. Hiruma knew this was a dangerous game and wanted to gather up more "support" players during the match. So Kurita has to go and get three more sets of equipment and when he finds them, he assumes that they want to join the club. The Devil Bats are easily dominating because Habashira is trying to focus on Eyeshield's runs, but they didn't expect Monta or even Ishimaru to be playing. When Sena does get the ball, he shows Habashira that he isn't intimidated by him and Habashira is actually the one getting intimidated. In the end, the Devil Bats win, 46-28. Hiruma wanted the money they wagered. However, because they can't pay, Hiruma threatens to break down their bikes and sell their parts for some good money, so in the end, the Zokugaku Chameleons became Hiruma's slaves (they begged for him not to harm their motorcycles, in dogeza pose). Next day, there are pamphlets for anyone who wants to join their club. After the interviews finish, they worry that most of them will get bored and leave, so Hiruma gives them a test - a marathon run to the top of Tokyo Tower with bags of ice and must get past many obstacles. This test is appropriately dubbed "The Tower of Hell" In the end, Sena, Monta, Yukimitsu, Komusubi and the Hah Brothers pass the exam. After many days of practice, they go to watch the finals between the Ojo White Knights vs. Seibu Wild Gunmen. To their shock, the Wild Gunmen are in the lead. Notes: #Front Cover: Sena and Habashira #Appearance of the two new members, Yukimitsu and Komusubi, and the return of the Hah brothers. #First appearances of Seibu Wild Gunmen Team. #Monta becomes a hero in this volume. VOLUME 5: POWERFUL Continued from the last volume, Ojo White Knights manage to win the Kanto Spring Tournament when Tetsuma, Seibu's ace receiver, goes to the bathroom after drinking too much water. Later, news comes that the X Aliens are challenging one of the Japan teams to fight them. Hiruma manages to offer their team to fight with them but is rejected by the editor. Hiruma uses his hacking technique with the help of Sena (as Eyeshield 21 and dubbed "Spy 0021") to fight with them. The next day, the news editors are shocked to hear news about Hiruma's fake e-mail, which has already been received by America. But the Taiyo Sphinxes, who were supposed to fight with X Aliens, aren't satisfied. So Hiruma challenges them to a friendly match. The Hah Brothers quit the team as they can't find the negatives from Volume 1, but after they are badly beaten by Banba of the Taiyo Sphinx, they return to the team to become stronger. The match starts off badly as the team can't break down Taiyo's pyramid line. But thanks to the new technique that the Hah Brothers learn, Jumonji manages to pin down Kasamatsu, one of the linemen. Notes # Front Cover: The Hah Brothers (Jumonji, Kuroki, and Togano) # The linemen of Taiyo are HUGE. # Introduction of Football Monthly Journalist Kumabukuro. He appears in future volumes. # Shows the past of Haruto Sakuraba, and how he met Shin. # The bonus pages shows how the insides school bags of the Deimon football team looks like. VOLUME 6: DEVIL BATS TAKE FLIGHT The Taiyo vs. Deimon continues with the aftermath after Jumonji takes down Kasamatsu with the Juvenile Deliquent Murder Method. Eyeshield 21 recovers a fumble by the quarterback to change the possession of the ball and the tide of the game for a short time. The Deimon line fights Taiyo's beefed up line with Hiruma's taunts, trickery, and constant position changes. By half-time, Deimon catches up with Taiyo leading by only one point (13-12). Kumabukuro notes that Deimon has a fighting chance with their stronger backfield, despite Taiyo's line's overwhelming strength. However, a new cornerback named Ken Kamaguruma is introduced by Taiyo, and he changes the journalist's views as he equalizes the backfield with his bump techniques, which literally "bumps" Monta, Deimon's chief wide receiver. The result of his bump techniques throws off Hiruma's passing timing and Monta's ability to catch. Things get slim when only a minute is left on the timer. Hiruma throws a long pass, and despite being constantly attacked by the Taiyo cornerback's "chariot bump", Monta catches the ball and makes a touchdown, putting Deimon two points behind with seconds left (20-18). The game is tied and pretty much ended with a two-point conversion from Eyeshield's Devilbat Dive. Taiyo decides to give Deimon the right to represent Japan in the game against the Americans, because Deimon did so well under the seldom burning temperature and climate. The idea of an overtime is thrown aside, as there was a bigger attraction: the Spring Tournament's final game with the Shinryugi Nagas versus the Ojo White Knights. Ojo loses miserably, (40-3). During the game, Sena and Mamori run into a calm but actually very violent Agon of the Shinryugi team, who tries to put the moves on Mamori (he remember her from the Deimon vs. Ojo game, as she had "nice curves") and shows Sena his amazing speed and agility. Agon also demonstrates a strong pass aimmed at Torakichi's injured legs after he commented that Ojo only lost because of Sakuraba's recent absence from the hospital. He was saved by Sena, Monta, and Sakuraba. Notes #The Shinryugi Nagas have an extremely long winning streak, which Mamori tells the whole team of through a picture book made by her (and as you probably guessed, the pictures were badly drawn). #The bonus pages show Sena's (Cereberus') footage while he was up on the ladder truck's ladder. There is also a hilarious entrance exam for Taiyo. #Cover shows Sena in his uniform. VOLUME 7: MUSASHI The Deimon Devilbats return after receiving the right to play the NASA Aliens only to find out from Football Monthly that Apollo, the American coach, cancelled the game on his own accord. Because it was such a petty reason, it ticked off the FM editor, who had paid for airfare and hotels. Hiruma vows to make the coach change his mind. Hiruma decides to make a promo video for the Devilbats, which incorporated the whole in a weird way. With the help of some computer reseachers, he successfully makes a video and sends it to Apollo. Back in America, the coach receives the video. It presented him as a coward, and it was funny. The video was sent all over the world, and even the press got wind of it. The ticked-off coach vows to have a rematch a month later, and that if the Alien don't win by 10 points or more, he and his team would never live in the United States again. Upon hearing this, Hiruma vows the same, saying that the team will leave Japan if Deimon does not win by at least 10 points. There was a legend of a kicker who could kick a 60-yard field goal. That kicker is Musashi. He said he left the team because the team was weak. However, he promises to return if Deimon beats the Aliens. However, it was a made-up name by Hiruma. Back in the US, a boy named Panther is known as the "Boy With Zero-Gravity Legs". He's on the Alien's team, but is only a ballboy. His grandmother gives up all of her savings so that he could go to Japan and challenge Eyeshield 21, if not Shin. The next month, the whole team trains hard. When the Aliens arrive, they immediately play against the Zokugaku Frilled Lizards, a college-team. It is also lead by a Habashira, specifically Tokage Habashira, Rui's brother. Note that the Aliens are a high school team. However, their Shuttle Pass technique allowed them to win with a score of 73-0 score. They also visited Kurita's temple and partied there. On the night of the game, Apollo and Hiruma shake hands and exchange insults in English. The Aliens plan to use the Shuttle Pass already, while the Devilbats plan to use the "blitz" that they had practiced so hard for. The game begins with the Alien's possession of the ball. Notes #On the cover, it shows a sunny afternoon with looks of amazement on Monta, Sena, and Kotaro Sasaki's (the Bando Spiders kicker) face. Musashi sits in the background on the steps. #The extra pages show the yearbook/album page of the main characters in their last junior high year. #In the video, Yukimitsu and his "Taiyo Fist" are imitations of the Dragonball Z character Tien and his "Solar Flare" move. #There is a website on the page that shows the video going around the world. It's a real website that has the actual video. (http://jump.shueisha.co.jp/eyeshield/aku-movie.html) SEE ALSO |
