Nunca dije tantas veces TE AMO HIRUMA como en este tomo
December 26, 2018
Eyeshield 21: The Toughest Warriors in Tokyo continues where the previous tankōbon left off and contains the next nine chapters (125–133) of the on-going manga series.
This tankōbon continues with the Tokyo Autumn Tournament concluding the quarterfinal match between the Deimon Devil Bats and Kyoshin Poseidon. With eighteen seconds left, the team decide to give Sena Kobayakawa their last chance.
Sena Kobayakawa overcomes Shun Kakei by using a spinning cut, but Kengo Mizumachi appears and stops him when he is thirty centimeters from the goal line. With two seconds remaining, they decide to use the Devil Bat Dive and when Daikichi Komusubi tackles Kengo Mizumachi down Sena Kobayakawa is able to score a touchdown to guarantee an 18–17 victory.
In the following matches, both Ojo White Knights and Seibu Wild Gunmen qualify to the semi-finals. Ojo will face the Bando Spiders and Seibu will take Deimon. Later, Sena Kobayakawa discovers the person who taught him how to run, Riku Kaitani, is playing for Seibu Wild Gunmen.
The next day Deimon has a field day and the Devil Bats train the bump technique during a cavalry battle game in which the players are handcuffed. Knowing Seibu have a stronger team than they have, the Devil Bats realize again the importance of a kicker. Monta suspects that Musashi will return because he is officially listed to play, but Ryokan Kurita reveals he and Yoichi Hiruma always listed him to play hoping he would return any time.
Confronted, Musashi expresses his desire to return and reveals his father is hospitalized, which led Musashi to replace him in the family carpentry business.
This tankōbon is written by Riichiro Inagaki and illustrated by Yusuke Murata. For the most part, I really liked the story and the progression of the story. The semi-finals have been determined and I cannot wait to see how the Devil Bats would fair with the Wild Gunmen, because of the connection between Sena Kobayakawa and Riku Kaitani.
All in all, Eyeshield 21: The Toughest Warriors in Tokyo is a wonderful continuation to a new series that seems intriguing and I cannot wait to read more.

3 Estrellas ☆☆☆
Me ha encantado la manera de terminar, no pudo ser de mejor manera. Es el final perfecto, salido desde lo más llamativo. Entretenimiento puro, esfuerzo sobre humano y pese a todo, fue bastante natural. Eyeshield 21 es una historia simple, a la vez que compleja. La sensación de movimiento rápido y veloz es una maravilla. Que gran dibujo. Te mete de lleno en la historia como si tú mismo corrieras todas esas yardas. Me encanta lo predecible pero impredecible que es a su vez. La segunda mitad del tomo sin duda es relleno, aunque no deja de ser divertido, igualmente el humor me dio mucha risa y simpaticé con muchas de las situaciones. Es un buen entrenamiento y pausa después de tantos momentos de tensión. Vienen cosas interesantes, llaves que abren puertas que desconociamos y que seguramente disfrutaremos una vez suelten esa información.

2025 reread:
Half this volume is the ending to the fantastic Kyoshin match, and half this volume is characters hiding behind walls to eavesdrop on lore reveals about other characters and I fucking loved it lmao
In the Kyoshin half, I loooooved the two page spread in chapter 125 with the devil bat ghost hurricane thing... so fucking cool, and Mizumachi coming at the last second was wild. Such a great match.
In the second half, we finally got to meet Riku after all this time! I love the fake out that he's Sena's long lost brother lmao. Mamori and Yuki's evil eras were fun too, but the lore for The Kid and Musashi was def my fav parts... The Kid is so fucking cool and we don't know much about him yet but it's gonna be so good, and Musashi walking in on them talking about him was so funny lmao.
My favorite match in the whole series is next.... GYAAAAAUGH

How does Sena do it? What will he do? How will he overcome this obstacle? Will he... sports all over them??? Does he sports? Does the football go? I don't know how to describe some of the things in sports manga that end up being "he sports all over them". Especially when all Sena does is run, so when it gets to the big climax he... runs? In a direction? Or two? At a speed that is good or great or better than great? Sure.
Oh and finally the Musashi backstory, I expected something a bit more heartfelt honestly. It went by quick and was over-and-done-with. Obviously we're not at the end of whatever is going on with him but I expected more than what was basically a few pages.

Sena levels up, we learn the carpenter kickers tragic backstory, and Mamori becomes evil briefly - great volume!

The last play (well...2) of the best game of football this series has seen. Sena breaks through the Poseidon's 3-4 Highwave with his newly created Devilbat Ghost Hurricane (basically a super running back spin) with the already patented Devilbat Dive to win the game and make it to the semi-finals. Meanwhile, the Seibu Gunman play win their game against the Fishers to secure their spot in the semi's again Sena and the Devilbats while the White Knights are briefly seen winning their quarterfinal game against a team of pirates (Tampa Bay anyone?).
Most of this volume is filler with the field day activities, but hey I guess it's better than them going to actual school...although come to think about it for a manga based on a high school sports team there really isn't much education going on with this team. True football jocks in a sense right? Ha.
Despite the filler, there is a interesting development with the addition of Gunman running back Riku. Him and Sena have a history together and appear to be taking a freshly made rivalry out on to the field. It gives the Gunman team even more character than their star quarterback, and a potential rival for Sena in the run game. Although this last game against the Poseidon was the best game of the series in my opinion, this volume starts with the end of that game, and ends with the beginning of the semis. I expect the next volume to be full of epic, manga quality football. What a fun series to be reading right as football season starts!

As the Poseidons game ends, the people who should win actually won, and boy was it satisfying. But what's next for our heroes? There's a bizarre series of team-based games that involves Hiruma dressing up like a large rabbit--don't ask, and no, he's not less scary in a bunny costume (I think it's the gun)--and Sena meets an old friend on the field. It's Riku. The guy who basically taught him how to run. But what's this? Riku is going to be one of the running backs on the Seibu Wild Gunmen team? This might be bad news, as friends may turn to rivals very quickly. . . .
This was neat to see--both the beginning with Mizumachi crying like a baby and also seeing that Sena wasn't just born with great running abilities; he learned from someone, and now he's going to see if his different training and endurance have allowed him to surpass old Riku. I must say also that in the field games it was hilarious to see Mamori sort of going evil, to say nothing of Yukimitsu. Hiruma you expect it from, but . . . Mamori even laughed like a villainess. She really has it in her. Made me think they'd have an interesting partnership if they ever decided to date. . . .

Got to see the end of the Kyoshin game, the silly filler stuff with the field day, and the meeting with the guy who taught Sena how to run. WOO. I enjoyed this, especially seeing Hiruma in a bunny suit . . . with a gun.
