EyeShield 21 Chapter 275
After reading this chapter, I thought it was great that the DBs had this big celebration. Especially playing that "Hell’s Devil Balloon" game. Always, Hiruma never does anything halfway when it comes to testing his team…even if means being blown off the ship.
But I was quite surprise at the end that a girl is Teikoku Alexanders’ main quarterback. Who would have thought…?? I’m kind of disappointed. Afterall, American football is a man’s sport. I may be all girl power…but in this kind of sport, NO. Let alone be a co-ed team.
I remember reading another favorite sport manga of mine about the characters being in the same situation when they were deciding on the starters for a practice game. And Yuki, their manager, wanted to play in that game. But Tatsuya, the captain, said no…even though she was the better player than most of them in the team. He said it best on why no and I’ll quote him, "Listen…let’s step back a 100 steps. We accept you as a regular player. What do you think the opposing team will do? You really think they’ll accept you as just another player? Even we don’t do anything hard physically against you, like tackling and sliding. How do you expect the opposing team to play a normal game? It’s impossible. There are going to be big problems. Because of you, the losing team might complain that they couldn’t play their hardest." Here’s my reason why no. First off, can you imagine Kurita sacking a girl when he pushes through the line…? I think he’ll hesitate which would only give her enough time to throw the ball. Then, there’s Sena. He’s too much of a gentleman to want to do anything rough against a girl. That also goes for Monta, Yuki…heck, maybe all of them. Hiruma…hmm. That’s something to think about. Anyway, my point is…if it’s a man’s sport, let it stay a man’s sport. And if a girl wants to play, then they should develop a league of their own.
