more than 20 million copies in Japan;[125] individual volumes frequently appeared on top ten lists of best-selling manga there (see table). Individual volumes have appeared in Diamond Comic Distributors's lists of 300 best-selling graphic novels in North America several times. [126][127][128] The anime adaptation was also featured several times in Japanese television rankings,[129][130] with the first episode having a 7. 5 percent television viewership rating. [131] In 2006, Japanese television network TV Asahi conducted a poll for the top hundred anime, and Eyeshield 21 was placed 47th. [132] Moreover, Eyeshield 21's series is credited with increasing the number of Japanese teenagers playing American football. [133][134] However, commenting on its genre's lack of popularity in the United States, Jason Thompson wrote in Anime News Network that "Even Eyeshield 21, a sports manga which is practically made for Americans, wasn't a big hit here". [135] Reviews[edit] Critics have generally given the Eyeshield 21 manga positive reviews. Deb Aoki
from About.
The day of Aoki and Kimura's semifinals of the Class A Tournament arrived. After the two lost,
Ippo was shocked that despite how hard they trained, they lost. He was then told by Takamura that there can only be one winner, no matter how hard they work. Ippo using the
Gazelle Punch for the first time. When Ippo returned to the gym, he told Kamogawa, who just came back from an interview with Volg's trainer, Ruslan Ramuda, that he could not find a way to defeat Volg, angering Kamogawa due to Ramuda's statements in the interview. Ippo was then instructed to train for a new weapon by doing two-hundred squats to strengthen his legs to be resilient to that of a gazelle. After a week of doing squats at a local pool, Ippo returned to the gym and met Kamogawa, who instructed him on how to use the new technique. Upon using the new technique called the Gazelle Punch on a sandbag, Ippo wondered if it will hit due to the huge motion. Ippo was then informed that the match with Volg will be a battle of endurance, fighting close range, throwing punches until one runs out of breath, with Ippo being able to use the Gazelle Punch if Volg runs out of breath. Kamogawa then tasked Ippo on endurance training to make sure he is not the one who runs out of breath. With the training Ippo was doing making Ippo's body become fatigue, Ippo received a massage fro Yamaguchi as instructed by Kamogawa.
