Gaō respects Banbo despite the fact that he was able to easily defeat him in the Kanto Tournament. Banba is unafraid to point out his teammates hypocrisy and shamelessness, and Harao quickly regains his composure showing that he deeply respects his captain and that the two have a slightly asymmetrical relationship. However, this confidence becomes a tension point during their match against Deimon where Harao accuses the linesmen of inadequacy before acknowledging his own shortcomings. Harao places a lot of his confidence in Banba's ability to protect him and hold off enemy attacks. Harao is the quarterback of the Taiyō Sphinxes and plays alongside Banba in their match against Seibu, Deimon and Hakushū. He flies off with the team to New York in order to compete and manages to proceed to the finals which ends in a tie between Japan and Team USA. Banba becomes Togano's personal coach in preparation for the Christmas Bowl.īanba is chosen by Sena and Monta to be an offense linesman in Team Japan under the advice of Gaō, who stated that linesmen with a boiling spirit were preferable even if they could not match the sheer power of Kurita or himself. He also appears at the Devil Bat's Kantō championship celebration, and is one of the three to help inflate the balloon for the punishment game. He trains Kurita by boxing against him, which prepares Kurita to stand up against Gaō longer in the Hakushū-Deimon game. Shortly afterward, Harao forfeits the game, making him the first quarterback to escape injury against the Dinosaurs.īanba appears as a spectator at several of the other games in the Kantō Tournament, and later as a helper in the Devil Bats' baseball game prior to the final game in the Tokyo Dome. Gaō crushes the new Taiyō line formation, called Tutankhamun's Mask, and eventually Banba is injured to the extent that he must be carried off the field on a stretcher. Unfortunately, this was insufficient for him to stand a chance against the Dinosaurs' powerhouse lineman Gaō. This physically and mentally toughens him, and leaves his face heavily scarred. Prior to the Kantō Tournament, Banba undergoes harsh training, supposedly due to a harsh defeat at the hands of Seibu. Banba submits the match against the Nasa Aliens to the Devil Bats, believing them to have proven themselves. While Banba stands strong against Kurita for much of Taiyō's game against Deimon, he is eventually defeated by the Devil Bat Dive on the tying two-point conversion. This experience drives the three to work harder to defeat the Sphinx's line. Later on, Banba coaches Kurita for Deimon's match against Hakushū where he taught the importance of killing intent and helps to unlock Kurita's inner mental fortitude.īanba first demonstrates his abilities by single-handedly beating up the Ha-Ha Brothers when they react to the Sphinx's criticisms of them. Prior to the match, he (like his other teammates) believed playing against Deimon would be an easy victory.īanba's courage and resolve commands the respect of even the likes of Rikiya Gao who admired his spirit to protect Taiyō's sub-par quarterback, Kiminari Harao, even if it meant being dangerously injured. After his match against the Deimon Devil Bats where he was defeated by Kurita, Banba is humbled and undergoes rigorous training to better himself. Despite this, he appears to be on friendly terms with the other seniors of the Sphinx.
He is strong-willed, matter-of-fact, demanding, and not afraid to point out the errors of his teammates. He is mockingly dubbed "Baldy" by Hiruma Yōichi (for obvious reasons).ĭuring the Kanto Tournament, Banba possesses numerous scars on his face and body due to the intense training he underwent in preparation for the tournament.ĭespite being an excellent linesman, Banba is level-headed and calm.
#Eyeshield 21 dubbed online skin#
Like all other members of the Taiyō Sphinxes, he has tan skin and stylized Egyptian eyeliner. He has a wide, muscular frame which forms the center of the heaviest line in Japan. Banba is one of the largest linesman in the series.
