is it just me or did they skip a few matches. its as if the manga is going to end soon

but japan is f&#@ing awesome gao agon double team

________________

yeah, they skipped way too quickly
i think they might head in to the NFL after this? or they all might head in to different university and face new and old enemies again with new and old allies, or eyesheild will end after the final

i really didn't like that they skipped tons of matches, japan seems way too strong, it makes the other countries look weak :/ i would have liked it if they met strong opponents and showed individual players of the team improving them selves even more and more

________________

Well, back in 309 from the pairings it was 3 matches to the finals. Since everyone knows the other side is going to be the USA team not showing their remaining matches was just meh. I mean it would be cool to see the other teams compete against each other but it wouldn't do much other than take up space.

But this pace does seem like it might bring about the end soon. Either way, it's still interesting to keep reading until the time comes for it to end.

________________

thats what i thought too .. it was damn to fast, like the manga introduced the German Team i thought there would be something like a volume-match against Germany, but it were only a few pages -.-" ah well ... a volume + ending against america

- END -

It reminds me kind of the skipping of Double Arts .. i started reading chapter 23 and then i saw a very big END and though WTF i hope it won´t be like this <.<

An end wouldn't be so bad. I mean I love Eyeshield 21 but, I really wouldn't want to see the series continue unless it's something worth reading. Anyhow, don't mind the skipping too much. Faster progress so one doesn't have to wait to see the end match which I'm willing to bet will last a lot longer then this last chap for sure.

INAGAKI WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO EYESHIELD 21?

You make Japan go through 2 games in one chapter? And then you make the ONE outside character that seems the most interesting and that you give most of the character development to just go through HUGE character derailment and make him do the complete opposite of what he's been doing in just 3 pages?

All I'm saying is that this World Youth Cup arc seems like nothing but an ego battle between America and Japan. There's no point to this, since both America and Japan are overpowered compared to everyone else. And since we already knew it was gonna be America vs. Japan at the end of this, Inagaki could have just had something like Morgan contacting Japan's American Football Head Commissioner and having a simple exhibition match to see who's the best. And he still could've had the whole "$3 Million U.S. dollars and a contract to an NFL team" that he was talking about.

I also think its coming to a close.
They covered 2 matches in one chapter, and there's no intricacy to the plans that they usually use to extend the matches
It kind of seems like Shounen Jump took notice of the low-excitement factor of building the new team and gave Eyeshield 21 its few week notice =/

Edit:

OMG I hated when they did that to Double Arts :K
That was my fave series and Shounen Jump killed it x.x
