In order to make his teammates understand how important memorizing passing routines is, Hiruma takes them to the game between the Ojo White Knights and the Seibu Wild Gunmen.

Meanwhile Shin and Ootawara from Ojo have begun practicing in a corporation league, the Shuei Elephants, to better hone their skills. The freshmen of the Devil Bats have decided to go to the same stadium, Shuei Stadium, to inspect the next playing field. The Shuei Elephants and the Samurai Warriors have an important practice match together, but Taki Natsuhiko leads some of the Samurai Warriors' regulars onto the wrong bus to Nagano Hot Springs (again). Due to the Samurai Warriors' lack of players in the match, Komusubi and Monta substitute and play in the corporation league practice match. Sena is determined to play in the match as well but cannot play due to the lack of an eyeshield, but Suzuna manages to find an eyeshield so Sena saves the match when he enters the game. But Shin wants to see Sena's devil-like Ghost Run instead of it being sealed. | | 46 | 'The Ghost vs. The Spear!'

The Huh-Huh brothers arrive and see Sena, Monta, and Komusubi playing, so they too join the game. Shin tells Sena that since he finally got the chance to face him, he will not hold back, and that Sena should not either.

| Finally, the match with Shinryuji draws near. Doburoku tells Yukimistu that he will participate in this game, much to the team's delight. At Shinryuji, their coach shows them information that they have on the Devil Bats on a waterfall and projection screen, when Agon arrives (with two girls in tow) and says he will crush them all, Hiruma especially. Sena's face appears on the screen, and Agon suddenly throws one of the underclassmen into the waterfall, adding 'And that piece of trash too.' At that moment, Sena shudders because he suddenly has a bad feeling. Later that night, Suzuna texts Sena, asking him if he is afraid. Sena (thoroughly peeved) texts back that he's not scared, he just cannot believe that this is all happening. Suzuna asks him if this is his goal, to which Sena replies 'No, I want to go to the Christmas Bowl, so we will win, I promise!' With that said, Suzuna smiles in her sleep, saying that she will be behind him, every step of the way. | | 112 | 'Devil vs God!'

| Hiruma tells Sena that he has to blitz Agon on every play, but it just does not seem to work. Once, while Agon is about to pass the ball, he says that they are getting a 'game over,' which makes Sena suddenly furious, to the point where he forgets he is in a game and jumps to attack Agon, who dodges, but is slightly disturbed. After a while, Shinryuji goes with a run, which in reality is a trap. Sanzo back passes to Agon just as Sena rushes up. Because of Sena's intense concentration on Agon, Sena somehow sees the football, even though it is in his blind spot, and knocks it away with a superhuman jump to the side. Everybody goes for the ball, and Jumonji manages to get it, thanks to Kurita. As he runs with the ball, Agon catches up and stops him. Jumonji, realizing what Sena had to go through, takes one more step and crosses the goal line. It seems that everything will be all right, but then Sena's legs start to have problems, and Doburoku cools them down with an ice pack. In the meantime, Unsui notices that Agon has acknowledged Sena as a rival, and thinks that it is great. An intense rivalry aura develops between Agon and Sena, and Shin once again notes that Sena will be improving to no limits. | | 115 | 'Fighting to be Number One'

| At the beginning of the episode Shin comments that even though each individual in Deimon is lacking, as a team they are already regarded as the strongest in Kanto, hinting the result of the game. This episode centers around Monta's individual battle with Ikkyu. Monta wins Ikyu in an aerial battle by snatching the ball away from him in mid-air, and scores a touchdown by successfully catching a long pass. Ikkyu finally admits Monta as a rival but still states that the 'Number One' in Kanto is still himself. Monta's successful touchdown brought back a momentum to the Devil Bats. Near the end of the episode Agon shows his true strength by imitating Sena's Devil Bat Ghost and passing Sena with it, proving the reign of natural physical talent such as himself as compared to the Sena who had completed the move by intensive training. Sena's knee starts hurting after he used Devil Bat Ghost too many times and caused an 'act' incident between Hiruma and Musashi about the future of a sports player. In the next play, Eyeshield 21 intercepts Unsui's 'Tranquil Reflections' by abandoning the post of defending the prodigy, Agon. | | 116 | 'The Will of a Warrior'

Agon is about to strike down Sena, but when Agon suddenly insults the Devil Bats' dreams of going to the Christmas Bowl, Sena's newfound fury gets the best of him, and he tries to attack Agon. Agon chops Sena's arm away, and then tries to stop Sena, who uses the Devil Bat Ghost to get away. Agon chases after Sena, who suddenly realizes that the God Speed Impulse will not work on something Agon cannot see, so he pushes down on Agon's helmet in his blind spot. Sena actually slams Agon's head into the ground and scores a touchdown, making the score 35-28. | | 117 | 'Time Out Zero'

| It turns out that before Monta was tackled down, he reached his hand out and grabbed the grass on the 'out of bounds area,' stopping the clock and regaining those 4 seconds. Within those 4 seconds, Hiruma distracts the other team by causing an uproar in the audience. When it looks like Hiruma is getting the crowd worked up this sets him in motion and the ball is directly snapped to Sena. He runs it but gets covered by Agon. Sena then tosses the ball in the air and Hiruma catches it and scores by running it past Agon. The score is now 35 to 34. Touchdowns are worth 2 points now and kicks are worth one. With no chance to win in a tiebreaker, they must score a touchdown on the last play. Hiruma takes the ball and runs towards the Shinryuji defense line. He throws the ball in the air and Sena catches it and scores a touchdown, which wins the game 35 to 36. | | 119 | 'To the Limits of the Death Battle'

When Shin tries to tackle Hiruma, Sena learns how to block the Trident Spear with a new move dubbed by Hiruma the Devil Stun Gun, which is a move to knock the opponent down or knock his arm away. Sena uses it and runs towards the end zone with Shin right behind him. They both run the same speed so it would be impossible to catch up to Sena. Shin jumps towards Sena and manages to get a finger in Sena's shoe, causing him to trip. Sena tries to make the ball touch the endzone but is knocked away by Sakuraba.

As Sakuraba tries to catch the ball, Monta comes after him and pushes him out of bounds, keeping possession on Deimon's side. Having used the last of his energy and is about to collapse, Monta is caught by his hero, Honjo-san (old baseball player).

With the first two attempts Sena gets stopped 1 cm from the goalline by Shin. Deimon’s last down and with the same setup Sena tries to make a pass to Monta as he does a high dive, but Shin causes a bad pass. Sakuraba has the advantage with his position but Monta makes a one-handed catch! Score 20-22 and less than a minute left as Ojo is coming up the field fast. Ishimaru (trackteam) gets injured and Hiruma struggles who to replace him with, until he sees the look in the exhausted Yukimitsu’s eyes. With only 10 seconds left Shin goes on a bulldozing run.

Shin successfully made the final touchdown for White Knights, making the score 27-22 to the White Knights. When all is lost, it was revealed that Yukimitsu gained one last second for the Devil Bats by pushing Shin into the end zone. This means that the Devil Bats have to steal the Ball from the White Knights and score a touchdown - all in one go; if Sena gets tackled, then all is over. The play starts and all is well until Monta gets the ball and is surrounded by some White Knights. Hiruma calculates their chances (0%) if he cannot get Sena to go near Monta & receive the ball or if Monta can pass the ball to Sena(which is impossible with Monta's lack of passing skills). Then Sena breezes past Hiruma which gives Hiruma an idea. He shouts at the nearby boys to gather with Monta. Hiruma, Monta, Sena and Taki gather in a tight midfield huddle and then break out of the huddle in different directions, confusing the White Knights and Takami. Eyeshield 21 is shown with the ball while surpassing all opponents except Shin. The episode ends in freeze-frame showing Sena and Shin charging towards each other. The omake shows a young Sena learning how to run with Riku. Shin suddenly breezes past Sena to give a man who dropped a coin from his car a few blocks back his money. Both Sena and Shin get a strange sense of premonition and stare at each other from across the street. | | 145 | 'Everybody, Let's Play American Football!'

| The final play comes down to Sena against Shin one on one. Shin's power and speed stopped Sena many times before. With time running short, Sena has the ball and runs to the endzone and Shin charges him head-on. Sena manages to get through Shin but he catches up and manages to knock Sena down with two fingers. Sena manages to get one hand on the ground to bounce back up. With the Devil Bat Dive running at 4.2 seconds, Sena uses Shin's Trident Tackle to go 4.1 seconds and gets the touchdown that wins the game. The next match will be Deimon against the Dinosaurs and the winner will go to the Christmas Bowl. Eight to nine years later, Sena is on a team with colors of grayish purple with a yellow lightning bolt. On getting the touchdown in the first few seconds Sena notices Hiruma on the opposite team.
