Deimon Devil Bats WON the CHRISTMAS BOWL! There were TEARS, PHYSICAL PAIN, and ANGST! But they WON! And the series hasn't ended yet because there is the INTERNATIONAL Youth football tournament held in AMERICA! And Japan NEED the BEST in their NATIONAL TEAM!

EEEEE! SHIN! AGON! HIRUMA! And MANY more! ALL in the SAME team! OMFG! It is AWESOME! Agon alone is worth the price of admittance. Gods, every time I read this series I'm reminded why I LOVE it so very much, and why I go out of my way to catch up with the series every year or so. It is because the series is so very awesome.

I'm quite curious about Hiruma's background (as usual) but it is nice to see that he has a father at the least. Yes, a father that is in the shadows even during the light of day, but he does provide an interesting insight into Hiruma. It fascinates me to no end just how much Hiruma really does care for American football. Hell, he is willing to give up $3 million as well as suffer through any form of physical injury just so he can play in the American league because based on his stature he can never compete in proper American football. So, yes, the chance to be noticed, the chance to play in the American league seems to mean everything for him.

It is kind of awesome.

Also, LOVE how far Sena has come since the beginning, how despite the fear he will NOT stand down from confrontation on the field. I adore the boy.

NB: Agon with his dreadlocks shaved off is priceless, well; it is more like his reaction to having to shave off his hair. AHAHAHAHA! Oh Hiruma, you are fucking evil.

I LOVE this series, I LOVE it so very much, and when it ends, because seriously, I can't see it going beyond the current tournament I will be so very sad.
