K I threw together a translation for the new es21 anniversary chapter! There's probably mistakes and some awkward phrasing because I always end up prioritizing accuracy over flow rip. Hopefully the way I've formatted this isn't a total pain to read. I recommend looking at the page first, and then referring to the translation when you can't read something. I skipped any panels that don't have dialogue/text so just reading the translations might be confusing.
Anyway it's under the cut!
(Lol sorry I didn't bother translating character blurbs on the right)

Panel 1: Itâs the Presidentâs Junior, Mr. DonâŚ.!!
Panel 2: Don: An ordinary person goes to a foreign country to run rampant for their own entertainment. A champion (or king lol) goes to a foreign country to express his respect.
Panel 3: Don: In this country, it seems excessive meddling from pros in the affairs of amateurs isnât appreciated, so Iâll get straight to the heart of the matter.
Panel 4: Don: Together we will fight and acquire the throne. Iâve come to welcome/receive one hero.
Panel 6: Kurita: ??
Monta: What does that mean?
Sena: Isnât this excessive meddlingâŚ..
Page 16
Panel 1: Crack!
Panel 2: Sena: âŚ.?? Inside my shoulder padâŚ
Panel 3: Sena: What is this, itâs tiny⌠A white chip?
Monta: Ooh, itâs in our shoulder pads too!!
Riku: Since whenâŚ
Panel 4: Hiruma: Itâs called an RFID (radio frequency identification (apparently lol)) chip. When you have this onâ
Panel 5: Glasses: The current location of each player can be determined and measured by inches. Stats like speed and acceleration, it can analyze all data in real time.
Enma Babes (presumably): A SCI-FI MACHINE LIKE THAT EXISTS!?
Page 17
Panel 1: Don: Thereâs nothing Sci-Fi about it. Within the NFL world, all players have been using this for a number of years now.
Sena & Monta: REALLY!!?
Hiruma: They even have them inside the balls. Since you can measure the rotations that way
Devibat: Itâs true!!
DB jr.: The actual pro sports world sure is turning into something amazing!
Panel 2: Riku: So, this data analysis chipâŚ
Panel 3: Riku: Why are they in our protective equipment�?
Sena: I mean, thereâs only one person in this world who would be devilish enough to quietly do something like thatâŚ
Panel 4: Glasses: With this hoard of collected data, and by using the help of something like Google Brain, we can rely on machine learning toâ
Sena: Goo⌠what? Machine�?
Panel 5: Don: How sad~ Oohh, AI, AI! Civilization has simply taken the human privilege of âthinkingâ, and given it up to machines.
Page 18
Panel 1: Don: Most of all, humanityâs been dulled by favoritism, politics and social correctness. Well, compared to a slow/primitive ruler, itâs (AI) infinitely more reliable.
Panel 2: [For our team to reach victory, what kind of player is indispensable? The answer provided by the AI wasâ]
Panel 3: A running back with the speed of light! Orâ A phantasmagoric (look it up) quarterback!
Panel 5: Glasses: International Player Pass Way Program. In short, there is one slot available for a foreign student trainee as the Japanese representative.
Don: Which means that we would be receiving you into our team.
Page 19
Panel 1: Kobayakawa Sena, Hiruma Yoichi: between the two of you, only oneâ

Panel 4: Hiruma: With my physical abilities, I wonât be able to get into the NFL the usual way.
Panel 5: Hiruma: Obviously, Iâll struggle for the top even if it kills me. Thatâs the thing that makes it funâŚ.!
Page 21
Panel 1: Don: When I consulted the man at the top, Panther, about which one to pickâ he gave me a truly straightforward answer.
Panel 2: Panther: Hm? Well theyâre going to have a confrontation directly in the Koshien Bowl, arenât they?
Panel 3: Panther: Sena VS. Hiruma!! Weâll just take whoever wins. Because, isnât that American FootballâŚ!!
Page 22
Panel 1: Sena: âŚâŚ this contest against Hiruma-san, Iâm glad that itâs an American football match.
Panel 2: Sena: If it wasnât, thereâs no way I could win against Hiruma-san, youâd bring out your blackmail book and in an instantâŚ.
Hiruma: Kekeke, seems like you understand the situation reeeeal well
Panel 3: Sena: I mean, whether itâs Don-sanâs AI verdict or the pro tryoutsâ if you put your mind to it, you could use your blackmail book to get whatever you wanted. But, Hiruma-san, when it comes to American football, youâve alwaysâŚ. youâve alwaysâ
Panel 5: Toss~
Panel 6: Hiruma: Well, since Iâm going to win against you and become a top pro, I donât need this thing.
Page 23
Panel 5: Sena: But, the one whoâll win is me
Page 24
Sena: Iâll go to defeat you with all my strength. So, Hiruma-san, you alsoâ
Hiruma: Kekeke, naturally
Page 25
Panel 1: HANSHIN KOSHIEN STADIUM

Panel 4: Announcer: Eyeshield 21 aka. Kobayakawa Sena!! Vs. The Commander from Hell, Hiruma Yoichi!!
Page 29
Panel 1: Hiruma: KILL! KILL!
Panel 2: Suzuna: K.I.L.LâŚ..to kill? Whatâs it mean?
Doburoku: In American football, itâs a sign thatâs given by the pitcher. It means to completely kill the strategy that had been agreed upon. To put it simply, itâs a signal to hurriedly reset the strategy of the play.
Panel 3: Mizumachi: After seeing our defense formation, looks like they want to change things up!
Panel 4: Sena: Hiruma-sanâsâ that ever-changing adaptabilityâs strengthâ
Page 30
Panel 1: Hiruma: Killâ
Panel 4: Unsui: NO!! THERE HASNâT BEEN ANY CHANGE IN HIS PLAN!!
Page 31
Panel 1: Hiruma (I think): This was just a snap counter from the get goâ A signal to start the play after the 4th KILLâŚ!!!
Panel 2: Enma player: Shit, even though we know what kind of guy he is!
Enma player 2: Heâs gonna throw a passâ
Enma player 3: No, donât let Hiruma trick you! Heâs not throwingâ heâs still holding it!!
Panel 3: This is a runâŚ.!!

Panel 1: Hiruma: YAâ HAâ!!!
Panel 2: Announcer: The final decisive battle was completely controlled by the sorcerer of the field-- Hiruma Yoichi! (there's actually a word in this line I don't understand lol, but this should be the general gist)
Panel 3: Announcer: In a sudden turnabout victory, the Saikyodai Wizards win the championshipâ
Page 34
Panel 1: Announcer: âNo, the remaining time on the clock is 1 second!!
Panel 2: Hiruma: !!
Taka: That was my bad.
Panel 3: Taka: On the ground was Sena-kun with his light speed, and in the air Monta was closing in. I had no choice but to catch the ball one second earlier than planned.
Panel 5: Unsui (presumably): â 1 second left. Whether we laugh or cry about it, this will be the final playâ
Page 35
Panel 1: Sena: These sort of seriously close calls⌠I dunno if youâd call it deja vu orâ
Panel 2: Monta: Thatâs right! This is the kind of cliffâs edge that weâve run along a bunch of times!
Panel 3: Agon: Aaaahhh? Ainât this match already certain victoryâ
Panel 4: Agon: âIf we werenât up against the tiny trash brigade, that is.
Hiruma: Kekeke yo~~~ You also know whatâs up huh, fucking dreads.
Panel 6: Yamato: Thatâs right, all of us should know by now well enough that it hurts.
Panel 7: Yamato: That there are demon-like men out there whose power explodes during dire straits like this.
Page 36
Panel 1: That there was once a miraculous team called the Devilbatsâ
Panel 2: Hiruma: The last play will be Eyeshield 21! Theyâll 100,000,000,000% comes at us with Senaâs run!! Anything else is a ruse, completely ignore it, donât even think 1mm that itâll be anything else!!

Panel 1 & 2: Senaâs Run, Complete Specialized All Star Team!! VS. Anti-Sena formation, Complete Specialized All Star Team!!
Page 38: â DON!
Page 39
Panel 1: Announcer: Remaining time: 0 seconds!
Panel 2: Announcer: With this last play, itâs game set!
Panel 4: Yamabushi: Rodio Drive!! Are they coming with Riku!?
Taka: Noâ
Panel 6: Riku: SenaâŚ!!
Page 40
Panel 3: IKKYUUâŚ!!
Panel 4: How can he reach it, to go into a cut from such a distanceâŚ..

Page 43
Panel 1: Mizumachi: Uha! I said make way!

Page 46
Panel 1: AGON!!!
Page 47
Panel 2: Shin: Senaâs Devilbat Ghost has been fully realized.
Panel 3: Shin: Itâs a perfect technique for a runner to get past his opponent. The Optimal Technique/Solution.
Page 48
Panel 2: vvrrrrr (vibration sounds)
Panel 3: Glasses: The Optimal Solution for this situation is none other than the Devilbat Ghost. But even then, Agon who possesses inherent superhuman reaction speed will likely stop him.
Panel 4: [That is the judgement the machine learning system has made based on the real time analysis from the RFID chip]
Page 49
Panel 3: Shin: The essential thing you need to reach new heights, is to surpass your Optimal Technique/Solutionâ˘â with Courageâ˘
Panel 5: Sena: Thatâs rightâ my road isnât limited only to the two directions that I can dodge
Panel 6: Shin: It relies on his light speed cuts. A third option, much like a trident. In a manner of speakingâ
Page 50
Panel 1: DEVILBAT TRIDENT!!!
Page 51
Panel 1: Mizumachi: You mean he might not dodge!?
Riku: A headlong collision!! Thereâs no wayâŚ
Panel 2: Glasses: Itâs absolutely impossible, how reckless. Thereâs no chance of winning. The AI declares that this is at most a feint. In the end, Sena will definitely move to evade him!
Panel 3: Hiruma: Kekeke, youâre wrong. Itâs a hundred billion years too early to try getting past using that hand.
Panel 4: Hiruma: But thatâs why youâll go for it. Isnât that right, Sena.
Panel 5: Agon: Aaahhh~~ Hiruma, Iâve fought with you so many times it makes me sick, so I already know all of thatâŚ.!!!
Page 52
Panel 1: Hiruma ??: The Human brain hasnât been able to compete with semiconductors for a long time. Iâm sure itâll aaaalll become like that in the future.
Panel 2: Hiruma: When it comes to searching for Optimal Solutionsâ˘, no one can compete against Sir AI anymore. Butâ
Panel 3: Shin: Beyond the Optimal Solutionâ˘
Panel 4: Beyond even the very summitâ you continue to struggle with only courage at your back.
Page 53
Panel 1: THAT IS WHAT AN ATHLETE IS
Panel 3: ??: IâLL GO PRO AND KILL EVERYONE!!
Panel 4: ??: IâLL SURPASS THE TOP!!!
Panel 5: ??: That athlete will beâ
Page 54-55
Panel 1: Hiruma: ME
Panel 2: Sena: ME
Panel 3: [He surpasses theory, with his light speed courageâ!!]

this is from like, early last year lmfao that I never got around to posting-- atla AU!
it's not really that fleshed out, I just know it would be set post atla but before lok, before republic city is the metropolis that it is in lok. So I put the original gaang to be around their 40's-50's?
the Kongo brothers are from a mixed family, with a firebending father and a non-bender, water tribe mother. Agon is a fire bender, and as in canon, a prodigy in everything he does (he even has blue flames because he sucks like that). because they grew up with a firebender as a parent, and because they lived in a predominantly fire-nation neighborhood, Agon ended up getting the most attention and praise for his bending accomplishments, and he proudly incorporates both fire-nation and water-tribe clothing styles into his day-to-day wear mainly because he likes standing out.
Unsui is a water bender. he's a hard worker and practices for hours every day, but he didn't have the guidance of a water-bender parent, and no matter how hard he worked he could never get close to Agon's skill. sometimes he looks at Agon firebending, and seeing his blue flames while he seamlessly incorporates water bending techniques into his firebending as though it's the easies thing in the world makes Unsui feel as though Agon isn't just the better bender, but the better water bender too. eventually Unsui gives up trying to compete with his twin. it gets to a point where he stops wearing water tribe colors at all as a way to stand out less as a water bender.
Hiruma is a non-bender. he seems to know every nook and cranny of every district in republic city, but no one know where he actually lives. he spends his time being a menace to society with his blackmail book, gambling, and inventing things (he doesn't patent any of his work-- he privately invented hair dye (or bleach, in this case) and uses it only for himself so that people are unnerved by his appearance. rumors that he has something to do with the spirit world follows him around, but he neither denies nor confirms). he and Agon meet one day in a shady alleyway on the rough side of town....
