Eyeshield 21 Plot:

Eyeshield 21 begins with a frail boy, Kobayakawa Sena, who just got into Deimon Senior High School. Hiruma and Kurita were desperate to find members for the school’s American Football team called the Deimon Devil Bats. Hiruma then spots Sena running away from a group of bullies using his godlike speed. Hiruma then forces Sena to join the Deimon Devil Bats as its running back but signs him up as only the secretary. Hiruma then tells Sena to play for them but to hide his identity under a helmet with an eye shield and bluffs to his opponents that Sena is the genuine American football player, Eyeshield 21. As the series goes on, the Deimon Devil Bats recruit regular members and try to make it to the national championships through training, wins and losses.
