Eyeshield 21: Volume 33: The Devil's Mistake

by Riichiro Inagaki (story) and Yususke Murata (art), 196 pages

The Christmas Bowl is well underway and the defending champs, just as their ace running back predicted, are trouncing the upstart competition. But the Devil Bats have a history of being comeback kings. With Hiruma's leadership and everyone pushing themselves to the limit, will the Deimon boys be able to make up the point-deficit in time?

Hiruma throws so many incomplete Hail Mary passes that the floating image of the Virgin Mother they generate over the field starts to look nervous and duck out of the ball's way. But when Monta, the Devil Bat's ace receiver and all around monkey, finally completes a super special sneaky long pass, he immediately terms it a "Hail Satan Laser" and finishes a play that leaves their rivals, and the stands, gaping in shock. The boys may take their time finding viable workarounds to get through the "impenetrable" opposing offense, but they're nothing if not determined.
