* EarlyInstallmentCharacterDesignDifference: The coach, Doc Horide, was a relatively normally-proportioned adult during the Gunmen's first appearance in volume 5. The next time he appears when the Devil Bats meet the Gunmen in volume 9, he's become significantly shorter and squatter, with even Mamori being visibly about half a head taller than him when the two teams join forces for the beach football tournament. By the time the two teams actually play each other in volume 15, he's barely taller than [[MiniatureSeniorCitizens the comically short]] Doboroku.

* ImprobableAimingSkills: Both as a literal sharpshooter, and a metaphorical sharpshooter when he played football as a quarterback. In addition, his throwing motion is unique as he uses two hands (as opposed to the one-handed throw of his fellow [=QB=]s) and flicks the ball between his hands to have a rapid spiral similar to a ball throwing machine. This unique throwing motion allows him to rapidly throw the ball as soon as he gets it (hence his "quickdraw" pass) to any of his receivers with pinpoint accuracy.
