Description: Eyeshield 21
Sena Kobayakawa spent most of his school years as the unfortunate one who always got picked on by the bullies in school. Ever since his younger days, he's always played the errand boy, which gets to the point where Sena becomes extremely fast and swift when he moves. This catches the attention of Hiruma and Kurita, who are searhing for a fast running back for their Football team.
Sena joins the quirky and ragtag "Demon Devil Bats" team and takes on the name "Eyeshield 21," based on the Eyeshield Sena uses on his helmet in order to protect his identity from his fellow High School students. In this twisted take on American football, you never know what may happen when the Devil Bats are on the turf!
