The Yūhi Guts (夕陽ガッツ Yuuhi Gattsu) is the representative high school football team of Yuhi High School in Eyeshield 21. While the school's athletes' enthusiasm is refreshing, the football team was least regarded towards the other sports clubs.
Players[]
Daisuke Atsumi[]
The captain of the Yuhi Guts who had been training for 3 years to win the championship. His team is made up of few players, but doesn't give up and spurs them to train because one day they will be rewarded with so much effort. Ironically he and the rest of the team are benched for the match against the Devil Bats, being replaced by the aces of the other school clubs. After the subs forfeit, they enter the field in mid-match and demonstrate great tenacity, especially Atsumi, who went one-on-one against Eyeshield 21. But was no match against Sena's Devil Bat Ghost, recognizing Sena as a true ace.

Trivia[]
- Their team chant is "Patience, Determination, Endurance!"
- Yūhi High is famous for having ace teams in all sports except for American Football. As a result, the team is made of mediocre players with low morale, little to no club funds, second-hand equipment, and a small team roster (about 10 players).
- The team is considered weak as compared to the other clubs at Yūhi, but this fact only spurs them to train harder. Training sessions include marathons on the beach in loincloths, squat-jumping up and down steps, towing tractor tires behind them and so forth.
- They go against Deimon in the Fall Tournament and lose miserably (6-56), but one should take note that the coach had used aces from the other sports teams while benching the regulars. When it was apparent that the aces couldn't win against the Devil Bats (40-0 in the manga) because of Taki's addition and Deimon's improvement overall, in the second half the regulars were allowed to play and they did manage a touchdown (in the manga) and manages to hold down Devilbats offense, who only scores 16 points in the second half. Hiruma believed that Yuuhi had 0% of winning with their aces teams on the field, yet raises them upwards to 1% when the regulars finally take over.
- In the anime, the aces scored the touchdown while the regulars only managed first down, but they still showed a better performance and dedication than the aces.
