Eyeshield 21: Difference between revisions

* [[Quirky Miniboss Squad]]: The Cyborgs and the Scorpions, seeing as how Deimon defeated them with a considerable lead. The Guts and Chameleons could be considered a deconstruction of this trope.

* [[Ragtag Bunch of Misfits]]: Deimon; in fact, only three (later two, one forfeited himself) of the players on the team had any prior experience in football.

* [[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.
