** Take Gaou away from the equation and the team is actually rather weak. The other ace players Marco and Kisaragi are [[WeakAndSkilled dangerous in their own right]], but can be easily played around and circumvented as [[TheTrickster Hiruma]] proved multiple times during the Kanto Finals. Basically, the Dinosaurs have been carried by Gaou's power throughout the Fall Tournaments and they immediately lost once Gaou is able to be neutralized by a player just as strong as him (Kurita). The only reason the [[AttackAttackAttack Deimon Devilbats]] struggled against them at all is because Gaou crushed [[TheLeader Hiruma's]] arm early on, severely crippling the control tower of their plays.

* StraightForTheCommander: The Hakushuu Dinosaurs win their games by having Gaou crush the opposing Quarterback during their defense, though its more like Gaou couldn't hold back his immense power. Marco does go out of his way to take Hiruma Yoichi out during the Kanto finals because with Gaou having met his match with Kurita, the Dinosaurs aren't capable of handling Deimon's Offensive and getting Hiruma out of the picture would greatly cripple Deimon and bring them down to Hakushuu's actual level.

For exemple he thinks Maria hates him forever after his decision to have Gaou in the team and Gaou won't listen to him and just wants to find strong lineman to crush. Truth is Maria still loves him and Gaou basically sees him as a role model and would have never take over his leadership.
