Eyeshield 21

Eyeshield 21 is about a boy named Sena Kobayakawa who enters the high school of his choice, Deimon Private Senior High School. His only remarkable physical abilities are his running speed, dodging techniques, and intense agility, the result of a school life spent complying with the demands of bullies. His abilities quickly catch the eye of the high school's American football team captain Yoichi Hiruma who forces Sena to join the "Deimon Devil Bats" american football team as the running back.

Sena is forced to publicly assume the role of team secretary, and enter the field wearing a helmet equipped with a green-tinted eyeshield in order to hide his features under the pseudonym of "Eyeshield 21." The makeshift team initially takes part in the Spring football tournament (at the beginning of the Japanese school year) hoping to win with through the strength of their new "secret weapon." However, the extremely weak team is eliminated early on by the Ojo White Knights, a powerhouse football team that focuses on defense. It is in this game that Sena meets the man he will acknowledge as his ultimate rival, Seijuro Shin, a talented linebacker.

After Deimon's defeat, the Spring tournament is revealed as a 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, Kurita and Sena regroup and slowly build a real team from other misfits and students looking to define themselves, such as Raimon Tarou (aka Monta or Monkey), a baseball player who can only catch, the three Huh-huh brothers (punks), and many others with the goal of reaching the championship.
