Line 287:
** Mostly verbal. Takami did the straight [[Armor-Piercing Slap]], though, as well as the Ha Ha Bros literally kicking some sense into Komusubi.
** When [[Jerkass|Harao]] begin to chide his teammates for their failures, [[The Stoic|Banba]] calls him out, pointing out his shortcomings as a quarterback.
** When [[TedSmall BaxterName, Big Ego|Natsuhiko Taki]] realizes that [[Heroic Wannabe|he is nothing]] compared to fellow Tight End [[The Ace|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 {{spoiler|"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.... [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|If that's the case, SO BE IT!]] If God didn't give me the talent, then [[Let's Get Dangerous|I'll defeat God with]] [[Determinator|MY OWN POWER!!]]}}
* [[Going Commando]]: There's an [[Omake]] devoted to how much of an average day Otawara spends without underwear. Apparently he frequently forgets it while changing in the locker room.

* [[Slow-Motion Pass-By]]
* [[TedSmall BaxterName, Big Ego]]: Natsuhiko Taki
* [[Sneezing]]
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Regional Tournament to National Tournament to Christmas Bowl {{spoiler|to World Cup}}. Expert analysts predict Sena will soon be the first running back in space. Subverted in the National Tournament when Deimon face super-hyped, 10-time undefeated champions Shinryuuji first, then their ultimate rivals Ojou second, and finally fellow darkhorse team Hakushuu in the grand finale.
Line 558 ⟶ 559:
* [[Team Spirit]]
* [[Tear Jerker]]: Several over the series, an early flashback showing one for Kurita. After buying 100 cream puffs expecting a huge turnout for club tryouts, he sits alone in the dark, eating them in tears. Someone saying how tasty pastries are has never been sadder.
* [[Ted Baxter]]: Natsuhiko Taki
* [[Tempting Fate]]:
** "You put [[Fake Ultimate Hero|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.
