Hajime Oda

"*Believe me that when I said that we're about to kill a tentacle monster that just destroy the moon, your first thought is exactly what I'm thinking, absolute absurdity.*"
—Hajime Oda

**Hajime Oda** (織田 一. *Oda Hajime*) is a student of Class 1-E located in Kunugigaoka Junior High School, being taught by the four teachers of Class 1-E. But it is of no secret amongst the other students of Class 1-E that a creature named Korosensei is the "official" homeroom teacher for the entirety of Class E. Whilst Hajime found himself lucky that he gotten himself into one of Japan's prestigious schools, it turns out that luck can only get a person so far, as Hajime founded himself being unable to keep up with his grades up, and he along with his sister Masako Oda is sent to Class E, with Hajime being in Class 1-E while Masako is in Class 4-E. Now he is involved with the neutralization of Korosensei, for the money or his family, no one knows for certain.

## Appearance

Appearing as an "average" normal student, Hajime is shown to be shorter than some of his classmates, and if it were to make things more worse, he's seen in the same way that people would view Akira Kazama and Gorō Yamaguchi would be seen. Having a fair complexation, Hajime has spiky, desaturated brown hair that has an ahoge looking like a hook at first glance. His eyes are washed-out, and the eye color is hazel.

His clothing consisted of a pair of black jeans, a zipped-up dull hoodie, an open black jacket with gold buttons, and red sneakers with white toes. The hoodie is shown to have the image of a red gas mask in a circle that is shown on the back of the hoodie right at the top. Hajime is also shown with a pin that is shaped like a four-pointed star overlaying a crescent moon; this is pinned at the folded flaps of cloth known as a lapel of his jacket. It does like as though he's a member of the yakuza, though Hajime has stated that he and his family have no ties to the yakuza at any moment.

After his time in Kunugigaoka Junior High School had passed, Hajime is last seen in a government building, where he is shown to be wearing a black suit, and had appeared as though he had cut his hair making it shorter. Hajime also looked to be more mature, although anyone can recognize his more youthful appearance.

## Personality

Seeing himself as an average person, Hajime Oda would be the embodiment of an average type of person. To Hajime, there's nothing special about him, he doesn't have any powers or magic, he's not that smart or that strong, he just go into a prestigious school simply because he got lucky. Very lucky. It's because of said luck that Hajime finds himself in situations that often require him to have very high luck in order to get out said situation, and nine times out of ten, it usually ends with someone being hurt.

A kind hearted man and a supportive person, Hajime Oda is usually seen helping others when it comes to mostly schoolwork, because when someone is dealing with a particularly hard task, they could rely on Hajime Oda for such tasks. After all, when one task if hard enough, it's often a good choice to call on someone for help, even if they won't admit it. That kind heartedness is what made him well respected, as anyone can always count on Hajime for whatever task he'll be doing.

When Hajime Oda was born, he lived simply what other kids would have in a normal environment. Either he screw around with his friends or studying a lot, which his parents wanted him to do. That came to ahead when Hajime Oda at the age of twelve, he would be involved with a robbery, of which he managed to survive, but only because somehow, the gun that the robber had been jammed. Superstitious folk would say that apparently, Hajime Oda had the blessing of the Eight Lucky Gods but for Hajime Oda, it's simply just a normal everyday experience. Exactly what defines as normal for Hajime can be anyone's guess.

The other moment in Hajime's life is when he, at the age of fourteen, found himself at the event of a kidnapping, except he managed to make it out when the van carrying him got into an accident.

At some point in his life, Hajime Oda got acquainted with Hibiki and Akira Kazama, right when the Kazama siblings are in their "Nobunaga Fanboy" phase. And while Hajime Oda found it all funny, he's also the only one who is able to find out why the Kazama siblings are in the way that they are. Thanks of Akira Kazama secretly telling Hajime Oda would the reason why, all that Hajime can do really was to facepalm himself, looking at the chaos happening around him.
