#eyeshield 21

SO SORRY FOR THE DELAY, but this is my gift for @yelpfic for the Eyeshield 21 2025 Gift Exchange! I ended up combining a couple of your prompts, which ended up very silly, but I hope you like it!

I apologize for my terrible handwriting, hopefully you can read it 😂

And, as always, thanks so much to @eyeshields for organizing this event and breathing life into this little fandom! You're the best <3

I have one little sketch under the cut from when I was designing Hiruma and Takami's outfits lol

Last batch of Citrus Con commissions! Casca from Berserk, Shinsena from Eyeshield 21, Devil Gundam from G Gundam, OC x Quincy Bloons, Gill Helbert from Kikaider 02, and Garu from Nu Carnival. Thanks everyone for giving me a varied array of blorbos to draw 😺

my guy of all time

LIKE. THAT'S JUST HIRUMA. A BIGGER AND BUFFER HIRUMA

ironically tho, between the actual demon from the netherworld, and the very human football player, Sabnock is by far nicer and the least demonic/evil of the two.

Hiruma is, well.

Well. To put it simply. More than a little unhinged.

To give a short summary of Hiruma Youchi, he's the captain and quarterback of the Deimon highschool Devil Bats.

He's incredibly intelligent, and once memorized a book of unique hand signs that the team manager made the previous night, within 30 seconds, and then burned it so it couldn't be leaked, and then insulted the manager using it

Unsurprisingly, his go to plans of action usually involve trick plays, manipulation, and psychological warfar.

He has blackmail on people on an international level (including random hotels in America, the school principal, and pretty much every person in Japan) and frequently uses it to his advantage so he can gain more people to increase his information network

He's the richest character in the series by way of gambling, and the most expensive thing he owns is an island (this is never elaborated on outside of an FAQ in manga bonus pages)

He owns more artillery than god and casually carries it with him everywhere and had a weapons silo installed on school grounds, he once brought a tank to the school festival

And at the age of 10, he beat a ton of US soldiers at gambling and took all their money (they had only just taught him the rules right before)

This is a manga about american football

And Hiruma isn't even the main character

Tho he and Sabnock do share one more similarity

"Why do you want to be the Demon King?"

"Why do you play American Football?"
