Since Akaba was an ace player and had spent some time in the [[DreamTeam Teikoku Alexanders]], it is quite reasonable to assume that [[spoiler: he had met [[FinalBoss Takeru Yamato]], the original Eyeshield 21, which was also hinted at by the fact that, according to an extra material, Yamato was one of the most "musically fit" persons to Akaba]]. However, this was never elaborated upon.

* SignatureMove: '''The Spider Poison''': a blocking technique that takes advantage of proper timing and analysis in order to topple an opposing defender by applying force at the moment the defender shifts their center of gravity. With this, Akaba was able to take down blockers bigger than him and by teaching this technique to his linemen, they were able to buy enough time for Kotaro to make long field goals or easily recover the ball after an onside kick as most of the other team's players would be lying on their backs.

Akaba, however, can execute his Spider Poison even against moving opponents (as opposed to the variant he taught to the Bando linemen, where they have to be locked with the opponent) and can even do it using only one hand, thus also making it an effective tackling technique.

It involved using Kotaro's ridiculously precise kicks and Akaba's invincible lead blocking to pull an endless cycle of onside kicks and the Spiders getting the ball. On defense, he also had a tactic called the '''Run Force''', where he placed his team's players in specific locations to manipulate where the opposing ball carrier would run to, only to be stopped dead by him.

* CripplingOverspecialization: And not even a good one, while their kick game is good enough to score against Ojou they still lose at a point race. Akaba, being the tight end, is the only player versatile enough to help in case their kick game fails and he was benched for most of the tournament. Their first win shown was a one point difference made at the last second against a mediocre team. Justified as [[spoiler: all the other players who weren't part of the kick team was recruited by Teikoku]].

Added DiffLines:
* CherryTapping: A field goal is only worth 3 points, as opposed to a touchdown's 6 points. Despite this, Bando managed to win some of their games by a wide margin because of performing an endless cycle of field goals through repeated possession of the ball via onside kicks.
Added DiffLines:
* LongRangeFighter: The Spiders can be considered as this because of their reliance on field goals. Notably, while other teams would only rely on pass plays until they can get close enough to the endzone, Bando only needed to reach kicking range (for Kotaro, that's about a maximum of 55 yards), score the field goal, and because of their repeated onside kicks, start the process all over again.
