Autumn Kantou Tournament
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Autumn Tokyo Tournament is a fictional event depicted in the Eyeshield 21 manga series.
When the Deimon Devil Bats were about to begin their Death March training, the team match up was already established on the Internet. After Deimon High School started their second semester, Kumabukuro, a well-known reporter, wrote some comments in a magazine and ranking about the teams in Volume 11.
There are a total of 36 Teams in line. To win the tournament, most teams have to go through 4 matches. However eight teams have to go through 5 matches - these are: Chuodai Panthers, Hori-Hori Fantasy Monsters, Deimon Devil Bats, Amino Cyborg, Nansei Hawks, Bando Spiders, Raten Matadors and Kyokodai Muscle Bomber. The teams were divided into Group A and Group B. The top three teams of this tournament will be able to play in the Kantou Tournament.
Here are the team match-ups for the Autumn Tokyo Tournament. (Note that they're lined up in order and are Japanese Team names.)

[edit] Chuodai Panthers

[edit] Edomae Fishers

[edit] Koigahama Cupids
- Logo: Cupid
- Kumabukuro comment: Only their Quarterback pays attention and the team has a slim chance of getting into the finals.
- Surrendered before the end of their first match, when they were losing 10-125 against the Seibu Wild Gunmen. The Gunmen's coach demanded for them to continue since he had declared to beat the opponent by 200 points, after hearing about the White Knights and Devil Bats' overwhelming victories.
- Rank D
[edit] Seibu Wild Gunmen
- Logo: Cactus Cowboy
- Kumabukuro's comment: The combination of Kid and Tetsuma's attacks gives a strong impression to their supporters in the Spring Kantou Tournament.
- Falls second place to the White Knights due to Tetsuma's penalty, and Riku's inability to bypass Shin with the Rodeo Drive.
- Rank AA
[edit] Tamagawa Blue Sharks
- Logo: Shark
- Kumabukuro's comment: The total average of their performance has its pros and cons.
- Lost to Uraharajuku Boarders in their first match.
- Rank D
[edit] Uraharajuku Boarders
- Logo: Skateboarder
- Kumabukuro's comment: The team has a lot of strong players but they hardly train.
- Lost to Seibu Wild Gunman in their second match.
- Rank C
[edit] TsukuFu Super Eagles
- Logo: Eagle
- Kumabukuro's comment: Expert in middle attacks and passing but always forget about side attacks.
- Lost to Zokugaku Chameleons in their first match.
- Rank D
[edit] Zokugaku Chameleons
- Logo: Chameleon
- Kumabukuro's comment: They always change their formations and target their opponent's weaknesses.
- Lost to Kyoshin Poseidon in their second match.
- Rank C
[edit] Kyoshin Poseidon
- Logo: God of the sea, Poseidon
- Kumabukuro's comment: Different from other teams, all the team members are tall and they keep the taller players in the bench, and those players only play when needed.
- Surprisingly, this team managed to defeat the strong Hashiratani Deer in their first match by gaining 31 points without letting Hashintari Deer score after sending out their team's secret weapon. Defeats Zokuto Gakuen Chameleon in their second match and lost to Deimon Devil Bats by one point (17-18).
- Rank D (Possibly B or even A since they defeated the Hashintari Deer who are ranked A)
[edit] Hashiratani Deers
- Logo: Deer
- Kumabukuro's comment:
- Lost to Kyoshin Poseidons in their first match, after Kyoshin sent out its tall players the Deers didn't score any more points.
- Rank A
[edit] Dokupari Scorpions
- Logo: Scorpion
- Kumabukuro's comment: The team always wins by speed and strength, but they are called an average team.
- Lost to Deimon Devil Bats in their second match, (12-42). Their team captain specializes in reading the habits of the other team, thereby figuring out their play strategies, but he proved to be no match against Hiruma's deceit.
- Rank C
[edit] Jujika Priest
- Logo: Priest
- Kumabukuro's comment: The justice team in the Spring Kantou Tournament. Always plays like gentlemen.
- Lost their first match against Dokupari Scorpion
- Rank D
[edit] Deimon Devil Bats
- Logo: Devil Bat
- Kumabukuro's comment: The performance of the team isn't stable but their best performance was the match against Nasa Aliens even though is their one-time chances.
- Lost to Seibu Wild Gunmans due to Monta's mistake but managed to get third place by defeating Bando Spiders.
- Rank C (Probably Rank S after beating the Shinryuuji Nagas)
[edit] Amino Cyborg
- Logo: Cyborg
- Kumabukuro's comment: Every year, this school focuses on one sport and wins the match they've played. This year they chose American Football.
- Lost to Deimon Devil Bats in their first match (8-38). Their team members have a strong belief in medical science being the key to victory. However, they lack stamina and training Deimon went through.
- Rank B
[edit] Yuuhi Guts
- Logo: A sunset that looks like a head with burning eyes
- Kumabukuro's comment: Yuuhi High is famous for every sport except American Football and the team players morale is weak.
- Due to this fact, every athlete joins the other sports clubs and leaves the American Football team with less players. This also results in little to no club funds, and poor performances, however, the members are determined and they train hard. With only 10 members, next to Deimon, they have the least players on the team.
- Hiruma said the Yuuhi Guts had a 1% chance of beating Deimon, with their sport club line-up, Hiruma said they had 0% chance of winning.
- Lost against Deimon Devil Bats in their first match (6-56). However, an important note is that their coach used aces from the other sports teams, while benching nearly all of the regular members, due to pressure from the higher-ups. When it was apparent that they couldn't win against Deimon, he let the regulars play and they did manage a touchdown.
- Rank D

[edit] Ojo White Knights

- Kumabukuro Comment:
- Although seemingly weaker compared to prior generations, the Knights claimed ultimate victory in the Kantou tournament, defeating Seibu in the final match. They also did not let their oppenents score any touchdowns in the whole tournament. (As proven in the matches of Sengoku Samurais, Sankaku Punks, Karibu Pirates, and Seibu Wild Gunmen, the only time they let the other team score was against the Bando Spiders, and it was on purpose.) Their team's defense group also covered most of the best 11 of Tokyo Defense.
