  • Eye Shield 21: Syaoran is a short and scrawny new freshman at Deimon High School. He had always been the target for bullies Iori Yagami, Tatsuya Mizuno, Norway and his childhood friend Misa Amane would always try to protect him from them when she was around. On his first day at Deimon, a group of bullies cornered him and dragged him off to the tiny club room for the school's American Football team, where he was rescued by the team's only starting lineman Helmeppo, and recruited to be the team secretary. In short order, Syaoran was discovered to be a fast and agile runner, trained by a lifetime of running from (and running errands for) bullies. In addition to his team secretary duties, he was quickly recruited to be the team's starting running back by the team's captain: the demonic Paradox. To keep him from becoming a recruitment target for every other club in the school, he was given a secret identity: Eyeshield 21, the mysterious hero from Notre Dame, who always plays wearing a helmet with a dark green eyeshield. Between its captain's extortion, swearing and Training from Hell, the ultra-rookie team, the Deimon Devil Bats are forced to crawl their way up from the bottom while trying to put together a roster that actually has enough players to play. The goal: the high school national championships, the Christmas Bowl. On the way, they win a bunch of games, they lose a bunch of games, create fierce but friendly rivalries, learn epic manliness, and generally get ordered around by the whims of their captain. Through all this, the key underlying theme of talent vs. effort is explored, with each team desperately climbing towards the top of the American Football world. Other Deimon Devil Bats teammates are Kiritsugu Emiya, Kumaji Kumade, Inuyasha, Enzo, and Ji Dabao. Later Iori, Mizuno and Norway joined Deimon Devil Bats.
