Eyeshield 21 volume 29 features story by Riichiro Inagaki and art by Yusuke Murata.

As the gridiron mega-showdown between the Deimon Devil Bats and the Hakushu Dinosaurs rapidly approaches, players on both teams use their final moments to build as much strength as possible. Hoping to muscle-up so as to not be utterly obliterated by the monstrous Rikiya Gao, Kurita turns to an old rival for a unique bout of special training.

Also knowing full well that Hakushu will be gunning for his head, Hiruma imparts manager Mamori with some special instructions to be used in the (very likely) event that he gets knocked out of the game. Who will score the first touchdown and who will be carried off the field on a stretcher?!
