Team colours (manga): charcoal-grey or black, with two-tone gold/orange detail.
Team colours (anime): dark purple, red and gold.
Helmet (manga): black flames on a gold background. Coupled with the uniform, this makes for a strong resemblance to the New Orleans Saints.
Helmet (anime): dark purple flames on a red background
Team uniform bears flames down the side of both the jerseys and pants, and across the top of the helmet. Team dress outside of games kind of resembles a Buddhist monk's robes (it's referred to in the manga as a dougi).
Before the start of each game, the linemen go into a kind of meditation exercise to achieve a Zen state of mind. Supposedly, this is to get them mentally prepared for the game and nothing can disturb them when they are like this... that is, until Ikkyu commented on some cute girls. The fact that Shinryuuji is an all-boys school makes all the players but Unsui susceptible to female distraction.
The strongest team in the Kanagawa area by far. Known as the "Gods of Kantou",since the founding of their school, they've won the Kantou tournament for 9 years straight . Four of the players resemble the main characters from Journey to the West (or as they call it, Saiyuki). The name Shinryūji can translate to "Temple of the Dragon God".
The team is made up of members who are good all-rounders, with two aces, (Agon and Ikkyu). As a result, they are well-balanced in both offense and defense, which is directly opposite to Deimon's team of specialists.
Their coach is Sendou Dasumito, an old man who looks much like a hermit martial arts master would look like in a martial arts movie. He guides the team with seeming wisdom and tactics, though he always turns a blind eye toward Agon and his lack of discipline, due to his God-Impulse Ability.
Another fact about the team is that they had never allowed any opponent a two-point conversion against them. This record is destroyed along with their bid for a 10th Kantou Championship when they lose to the Devil Bats in the opening round in quite possibly the most unbelievable upset in their entire history

Agon is the twin brother of Unsui. Instead of training like his brother, he's likes it more to take things easy. He is lazy and comes late to matches. Kumabukuro, the reporter, says that he is a tremendous talent who is only seen once every 100 years. Even the coach wants everybody in the team not to act as his character and tells them that only Agon can act in this manner. This is because Agon's natural talent is on a genius level. This has made him arrogant and over-confident in his abilities. Throughout the manga, his "evil" nature comes out. He is shown to have a history with Hiruma, and his laid-back cool attitude becomes somewhat rattled whenever Deimon's quarterback is involved. Agon's arrogance in his own natural talents cause him to look down on those he feels are less talented. His reaction time of 0.11 sec is basically the fastest time that is possible for a human being to react.
NPC:Kongo Unsui

Year: 2nd / Gr. 11
Jersey #: 12
Position: Quarterback
40 Yard Dash: 5.1 sec
Bench Press: 95 kg
Unsui is a very strong player. His skills come from a lot of hard work and practice. In the previous year's match between the Ojo White Knights and Shinryuji Nagas, both he and his brother Agon (as first-year players) were sent out with 5 minutes to play and Ojo holding a 16-3 lead. Their entrance resulted in a 17-16 victory for Shinryuji. Although he seems to be an amazing athlete, he seemed to fade into the backround when his brother was around. Far more serious and intense than Agon, Unsui is much better liked, as opposed to feared like his brother is.
NPC:Hosokawa Ikkyu
Birthday: 1/9
Year: 2nd / Gr. 11
Jersey #: 33
Position: Cornerback/Split End
40 Yard Dash: 4.9 sec (backwards!)
Bench Press: 65 kg
Ikkyu's true skill lie in his running techniques. He has the record of 4.9 seconds in the 40-yard-dash while running backwards, making him the best cornerback in the Kanto Zone. Ikkyu is also proud of his jumping and catching ability. He tells Unsui that no one can beat him in the air. However, Kanto's best cornerback is nothing compared to Japan's best linebacker. Shin proves this to him in his first match against him. Ikkyu is one of the more friendly players on the team, but that doesn't make him any less serious when he plays in a match.
