* The relationship between the Ha-Ha Brothers is this in its entirety, but of special note is this: Juumonji's father tells him that shouldn't associate with 'trash' like Kuroki and Togano. On the same day, Juumonji sees himself being praised in a sports magazine (in an article written by Kumabukuro) mentioning the Devils, while his two friends are once again dismissed and insulted. He then tells Kuroki and Togano that the magazine said all three of them were trash, and the two spend the month up until their game against the Americans seriously training in an effort to prove their worth. During said game, the linebackers help Sena to score in a sweep attack, and when the announcers begin to praise Eyeshield 21 once again, Kumabukuro apologizes to Kuroki and Togano and leads a cheer for them. That moment nearly brought this troper to tears.
** Expanded in the anime where Kuroki revealed he read the magazine and knew that Juumonji was covering them. He and Togano decided to leave the death march even without Juumonji by saying that they are trash. Juumonji then punched Kuroki saying that he will pick a fight with anyone who dare call his friends trash, including them. After beating each other they decided to reunite each other and finished the Death March.

* When Deimon wins the Christmas Bowl, Sena - holding the cup - is thrown into air in the celebration. But it wasn't his teammates who did it: rather, he was thrown by all the *opponents* he had faced before the Alexanders game... Shin, Gaou, Riku and others. This is symbolic not just of friendships he has made outside the Devil Bats, but also how important strong opponents were for his own development.

Sorry, but it must be quoted; "When you left the team that day, do you know how much Kurita hit things in despair? And when he ran out of things to hit, do you know how much he screamed? Kurita... Do you know how much Kurita was...!" (background panel flashes to ''Hiruma himself kicking the bench out of despair'') "KEKEKE! YOU'D BETTER SETTLE THAT DEBT RIGHT HERE, ONCE AND FOR ALL!

--->'''Akaba:''' “Faith. Teikoku’s faith is something born from strength. The fact that the whole team is an all-stars. The fact that they have the strongest teammates. But it’s different for Deimon. Is it because of the long time they spent together? It’s no different from the other teams, though. Is it because they are all career players? I don’t know. But Hiruma believed. He believed that...[[spoiler:Yukimitsu would definitely be there]]. The reason why I refused to join Teikoku and chose to stay at Bando with Kotaro and the others...by looking at those guys from Deimon, I think I’m beginning to understand it a little.”
