The Autumn Tokyo Tournament is a fictional event depicted in the Eyeshield 21 manga series.

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

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.)

Contents

[edit] Group A

[edit] Ginga Rockets

  • Logo: Rocket (Crazy Booster)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: They were inspired this season to change their name after seeing NASA High School on TV. How are will they get with their brand new "shuttle pass"?
  • Lost to Hori-Hori Fantasy Monsters Team in their first match.
  • Rank D

[edit] Chuodai Panthers

  • Logo: Panther (Black)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: They idolize Panther after seeing him on TV...not! Actually, this team has been around for 20 years, and their first game will likely be a breakthrough one!
  • Their dreams were crushed when Hori-Hori Fantasy Monsters defeated them in their first match.
  • Rank D

[edit] Hori-Hori Fantasy Monsters

  • Logo: Cyclops (Demon Boy)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: They're strong overall but will they be able to handle the peculiar strengths of the opposing teams?
  • Lost to Edomae Fishers in their third match.
  • Rank C

[edit] Edomae Fishers

  • Logo: Fish (Sharinosuke)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: They've improved a lot since spring and are already going after Seibu. They'll have to make sure they neutralize Tetsuma. Can they demolish the golden duo?
  • Managed to reach the top 8 but were defeated by Seibu Wild Gunman.
  • Rank A

[edit] Waseda Killers

  • Logo: Robed Assassin (Assassin)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: Their offensive strength comes from running. They'd be a better team, though, if they were better at passing.
  • Lost at their first match against Edomae Fishers.
  • Rank D.

[edit] Koigahama Cupids

  • Logo: Cupid (Angelheart)
  • Kumabukuro comment: Is quarterback Hatsujo the one to watch, since he can do everything, including kick? Their first opponent seems a bit too much for them...
  • 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 (Sabottena)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: Their high-speed shotgun pass, a cause of fear in the spring, has been further refined. They are the season's most destructive force!
  • Falls second place to the White Knights due to Tetsuma's penalty, and Riku's inability to bypass Shin with the Rodeo Drive.
  • Rank S

[edit] Tamagawa Blue Sharks

  • Logo: Shark (Zujo)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: The team is made up of average players and could therefore use really strong players.
  • Lost to Uraharajuku Boarders in their first match.
  • Rank D

[edit] Uraharajuku Boarders

  • Logo: Skateboarder (Chekera)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: Each player has solid skills, but they might need more practice. How far will they go, relying on noseguard Gairo?
  • Lost to Seibu Wild Gunman in their second match.
  • Rank C

[edit] TsukuFu Super Eagles

  • Logo: Eagle (Tondor)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: They base their strategy on fast plays (running and passing) and develop in center field. This means they're weak on the sides.
  • Lost to Zokugaku Chameleons in their first match.
  • Rank D

[edit] Zokugaku Chameleons

  • Logo: Chameleon (Berorin)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: Being able to adapt their strategy to their opponents' will be a plus in the tournament, but right now its not working. We're counting on Rui Hashibana's special training.
  • Lost to Kyoshin Poseidon in their second match.
  • Rank C

[edit] Kyoshin Poseidon

  • Logo: God of the sea, Poseidon (Seaman)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: The players all have slight builds, despite their team's name. They're hurting because one of their bigger players is on the bench.
  • 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 (23-24).
  • Rank D (Possibly B or even A since they defeated the Hashintari Deer who are ranked A)

[edit] Hashiratani Deers

  • Logo: Deer (Binba)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: A strong veteran team. They make the most of their small size, using their speed to disarm opponents. Playing opponents of the same size, they are still superior.
  • Lost to Kyoshin Poseidons in their first match, after Kyoshin sent out its tall players (notably Kakei and Mizumachi), the Deers didn't score any more points.
  • One of the most famous and popular linebackers, Onihei, is on this team. Kurita, among others, respects him very much; Onihei is known for his ability to block effectively despite not being a particularly large person.
  • Rank A

[edit] Dokubari Scorpions

  • Logo: Scorpion (Stinger)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: Their speed and power leave something to be desired, but for some reason they have a very good record. Could it be from researching the other teams?
  • Lost to Deimon Devil Bats in their second match, (12-42). Their team captain specializes in reading the habits of his opponents, thereby figuring out their play strategies, but he fell to his own strategy; Hiruma eventually used this tactic against him.
  • Rank C

[edit] Jujika Priest

  • Logo: Priest (Xavier)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: They won the Fair Play Award in the spring season. Despite their modest abilities, they're a gentleman's team worth rooting for.
  • Lost their first match against Dokupari Scorpion
  • Rank D

[edit] Deimon Devil Bats

  • Logo: Devil Bat (Devil Bat)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: When they're on a roll, they have offensive power approaching NASA high school's, but they are erratic. The tournament's dark horse.
  • 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 joining of all team members and beating the Shinryuuji Nagas)

[edit] Amino Cyborg

  • Logo: Cyborg (IQ)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: Each year Amino takes the season by storm in a different sport. Will they dominate the football world with their medical knowledge?
  • 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 (Grit)
  • Kumabukuro's comment: All of Yuhi's sports teams are highly regarded, except for their terrible football team. But the athlete's enthusiasm is refreshing.
  • 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] Group B

[edit] Hanazono Butterflies

  • Logo: Butterfly (Hanako)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Their aerial game is their strength, thanks to light footwork. Their weak spot is their feeble line.
  • Lost in their first match to the Bando Spiders
  • Rank: C

[edit] Nanasei Hawks

  • Logo: Hawk (Hawker)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: This year's rookie team. They've finally grasp the rules and will enjoy competing against the other teams.
  • Lost in their first match to the Bando Spiders
  • Rank: D

[edit] Bando Spiders

  • Logo: A spider with an electric guitar (Rocker Billy)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: They have a capable kicker in Kotaro Sasaki, so at least they have excellent kicking, but other than that...
  • Lost in their semi-final match against Ojo, partially because Akaba's school re-entry period isn't over yet, then to the Deimon Devil Bats in the third-place game for entry into the Christmas Bowl Tournament, they lost the match by one point.
  • Rank: D (possibly A for defeating the Genshijin Fighters and making the third-place game)

[edit] Mitama Mariners

  • Logo: A sailor (Sailorman)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: They are a crack team, having only 22 players on offense and defense. Will it take a team with special skills to beat them?
  • Rank: C

[edit] Kita Eskimos

  • Logo: An eskimo (similar to Iceman from the Megaman series) on a sled (Iceman)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Being from the coldest climate, they can't attract players. They don't even have ten players to form a team, so how will they compete?
  • Rank: D

[edit] Arito Grasshoppers

  • Logo: A lazy grasshopper (Kirigiru)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: They've perfected their basic offensive practice, but are clearly in need of defensive practice. Their average score is a 50-point loss.
  • Rank: D

[edit] Nakaba 99'ers

  • Logo: The number "99" with eyes and wearing shoes (99er)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Having the most players (99), they're at their best when they lined up on the field. Could they overwhelm their opponents by attacking in a human wave?
  • Rank: C

[edit] Nihon Machine Guns

  • Logo: A machine gun with eyes (Don Paratata)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: With virtually no huddle, they reel off plays like a machine gun would--which would be fine, except they never hit their target.
  • Rank: D

[edit] Genshijin Fighters

  • Logo: A hairy wildman in a loincloth (Oo-on)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: They have a strong defense and offense, but their strategy needs improving.
  • Lost to Bando Spiders in their fourth match.
  • Rank: A

[edit] Jonandai Giants

  • Logo: A giant sitting on a mountain (Nobei)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Tall and powerful with overwhelming destructive power! They have giant...cheerleaders, but the players are of average size.
  • Lost to Noroi Occults in their first match. In an extra page at the end of the chapter, it's revealed that the players only have average skill, but attempt to play and practice because they're afraid of the cheerleaders (who are actually giants).
  • Rank: C

[edit] Noroi Occults

  • Logo: A voodoo doll complete with a nail in its head (Straw Man)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Can they force a win by thwarting their opponents with black magic? Every day they're focused on practicing their spells. Go play football!
  • Nurse Oka's son is on this team. During the Noroi-Jonandai match, she is seen in the bleachers attempting to curse the Giants so that they will lose; in fact, one of the Jonandai players does slip and fall on the field, resulting in a winning touchdown for the Occults. Oka claims her curses have worked, though others attribute this to sheer bad luck.
  • Rank: D

[edit] Oiyama Lions

  • Logo: A lion (Simbaleo)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: They've developed with the first years who joined two years ago. Now in their third year, they're betting everything on this tournament.
  • Rank: D

[edit] Karibu Pirates

  • Logo: A skull wearing a pirate hat, perhaps similar to the pirate logo of Weekly Shonen Jump (Mark Jump)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Beside their rough-and-tumble nature and Spartan-like training, watch out for their incredible stamina!
  • Lost to Ojo White Knights in their fourth match.
  • Rank: C

[edit] Sankaku Punks

  • Logo: A freaky man with spiked hair, piercings, and a tongue sticking out (Punky)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Sister school to powerful Taiyo High School. They gave Ojo a run for their money in a deadly showdown in the spring.
  • Although they played a close game against them in the spring, Sankaku fell once again to Ojou in the first round of the tournament. Despite all the team members looking very 'tough', the potentially intimidating effect of their appearance is nullified by the fact that they have to wear helmets. Mamori comments, "Did they even consider this?"
  • Lost to the Ojo White Knights in their first match by a score of 82-0.
  • Rank: B

[edit] Ojo White Knights

  • Logo: An armored knight with a lance sitting on a horse (White Knight)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Has the team become just Shin and the defense? And without their so-called "Golden Generation", could Ojo be eliminated early on?
  • 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.
  • Rank: A (possibly S for winning the Tokyo tournament)

[edit] Raten Matadors

  • Logo: A matador with a cape (Amigo)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: This is a good looking team wearing bullfighter-style uniforms. They tackle with a light touch that pack a surprising punch.
  • Rank: D

[edit] Kyokodai Muscle Bomber

  • Logo: A bomb with arms and legs (Bomi)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: Their penetration down center-field ought to be unstoppable but, well, they don't have that kind of power.
  • Lost to Raten Metadors in their first match.
  • Rank: D

[edit] Sengoku Samurais

  • Logo: A samurai with sword (Nobunaga Tokugawa)
  • Kumabukuro Comment: They have a solid coaching system because of their ties to influential Sengoku University. With their powerful offense, they're likely to go to the finals.
  • Lost to Ojo White Knights in their second match.
  • Rank: A
