This also relates to scrums, since the forward pack is so strong and skillful, they can win from the opponent's feed, letting Zanba to take on the run by himself again.

When he was subbed in as a number 8, his size and strength simply decimated Jinkou's team.

He uses his size and strengths like a forward, rather than moving the ball sideways by passing, or juke past defenders with lateral movements, he bulldozes opponents with ease.

He is strong enough to take Takuya Sekizan out of his way with just one hand. In episode 25, he helped the team erase a 12-0 deficit to win by 30 points, and single-handedly crushing Jinko's spirits .
