**Nozomi Kaminashi** (神無 のぞみ, *Kaminashi Nozomi*) is the main protagonist of *Keijo!!!!!!!!*. She was a student at Setouchi Keijo Training School. She previously resided in Room 309 before being promoted to the Elite Class.

Upon graduating from Setouchi, Nozomi officially becomes a B-Rank Keijo player, affiliated with the Kansai's Hyougo Branch. After her winless start in the professional world of Keijo, Nozomi tries to seek a mentor to guide her. After meeting Sumire Sakuragi, Nozomi asks Sumire to become her mentor. Although Sumire initially refused, Sumire is later willing to become soeur with her.

After her match with Sayaka Miyata, Nozomi is able to advance to the A-Rank. Sometime later, Nozomi and Sayaka start to stay in the Garden Worth, a lodging for Keijo players, where they reunite with Hanabi Kawai and Saya Kogatana.

## Appearance

Nozomi has navy blue eyes and long dark blue hair that she usually keeps in a ponytail, tied in a white ribbon. She has two visible *ahoge* on top of her head. She has a big butt due to her using Vacuum Butt Cannon a lot. When training, Nozomi prefers the dark blue version of the school swimsuit. Nozomi wears a white ribbon, due to this characteristic people call her the "Ribbon Girl". Like Kazane, she is also a C-Cup.

## Personality

Nozomi is a very energetic and lively girl with a deep love for Keijo, her friends and her family. While she seems somewhat greedy and dim, she mainly wants to become a rich Keijo player to get her family out of poverty and is actually quite clever, observant and creative, enabling her to figure out her opponent's technique's and counter them. She is also somewhat eccentric as she does silly things from time to time but in a Keijo match she is fiercely determined and does not back down no matter what. Nozomi is also sociable to people she first met and supportive of her friends. She tries to help them out however she can, despite annoying them from time to time.

Born in Kobe, Nozomi speaks in Kansai dialect, referring to herself as "uchi" (うち), instead of the formal standard "watashi" (わたし). Due to her poverty, Nozomi shows unusual tendencies when it comes to saving money. For example, Nozomi will negotiate with sellers in order to get the best price.

Nozomi often does shameless things: such as showing her *pantsu* to others, stripped herself naked without explaining anything in front of her friend. Nozomi is also not bothered to take off her bikini tops, albeit there are reasons behind this: first when she avoids Sayaka from using her Judo skills to throw her away, and second to find out Fuyuyu Tsurugi's main ability (using the metalic part of her swimsuit to trigger Fuyuyu's electricity).

Nozomi cares deeply about her comrades, and is willing to help them in any way. For example, helping Saya Kogatana with her breast damage: Nozomi attempts to invent new techniques. Another example is when Kotone Fujisaki almost gets defeated, Nozomi cheers her up, going as far to tell that they are going to aim higher. Nozomi is also known for being a motivator, as she motivates Kotone who had no interest to participate in Keijo's race. Nozomi also motivates Usagi Tsukishita, who decides to become a Keijo player just because she adores Mio Kusakai, giving her a new reason to participate in Keijo. Additionally, Nozomi also motivates Maya Sakashiro to have a rematch with her, which replied by Maya that she would love to do it.

## Background

At some point, her mother was hospitalized. Around at age 6, her mother eventually passed away, while Nozomi helplessly cried. Right before her death, Mitsuki told Nozomi, as the eldest daughter, to take care of her siblings. Nozomi and her siblings then lived in a very poor condition. Due to this poverty, Nozomi kept working hard, to the point where her friends said that her body never stopped moving. Nozomi attended Shinkou High School in Kobe. Upon entering Shinkou, Nozomi has became a pretty skilled gymnast. Thus Nozomi was invited by colleges with the best gymnastic programs. However, Nozomi then learned about Keijo, a gambling, water sport, knowing that its players got paid so much if they win in the large scale tournaments. As such, Nozomi refused all offers of joining athletics college and decided to become a Keijo player in order to bring her family out of poverty.

Later, right after performing acrobatics movement, Nozomi declared that she wanted to become a Keijo player. However, her friends blamed her. After returning home, Nozomi was asked by her siblings what happened. However, Nozomi choose not to tell them. The next day, Kobayashi brought Nozomi and her friend, Taichi Omotenishi to the Nishinomiya Keijo Stadium.

Despite this, Kobayashi told her that Nozomi should decide her career by her own decision. However, her friend and neighbor, Taichi, disagreed. As such, Kobayashi brought them to try a trial match. As the match started, Taichi intended to push Nozomi as soon as possible. However, Nozomi was able to dodge, while Taichi sunk by himself. But soon, Nozomi noticed that other participants were defeated by a white haired girl. When the girl decided to assault her, Nozomi was able to block her. Nozomi was later engaged in a fierce fight with the white haired girl. Eventually, Nozomi noticed how to utilize her butt to perform the "Hip Up" technique. Nozomi then managed to defeat the girl. While the instructor, Shizuko Kuroiwa told Nozomi that she managed to defeat a Judo prodigy, Sayaka Miyata, that managed to reach the final qualifiers for the last year Olympics. As Sayaka asked her name, Nozomi introduced herself.

Right after their trial match, Nozomi and Sayaka was invited by Kuroiwa to the staff room in order to watch Keijo matches. Both Nozomi and Sayaka managed to estimate the outcome of Maya Takanashi's fight with Sakaguchi. Later, Kuroiwa gave them the pamphlet of Setouchi Keijo Training School, suggesting them to enroll into Setouchi. Later that night, Nozomi asked for money to her father, but he hung up and ran away. Shortly after, Nozomi and her siblings were visited by her Taichi and his mother. Taichi's mother, Fumio, then gave them some meat. Later, Fumio advised Nozomi about the exam. The next day, Nozomi then applied to participate in the exam in order to enroll into Setouchi.

### First Exam Arc

The next day, Nozomi and Sayaka Miyata participated in the first exam. Nozomi was later interviewed for beating Sayaka's score on the first test of the first exam. Later, they befriended Mei Matsumoto, a repeater who has took the exam for three times but always ended up in failure, and Sayuri Naka, a participant who already has a son. Eventually, Nozomi managed to pass the first exam as she completed the final test of the exam. Nozomi then thanked Matsumoto for giving a helpful instance.

### Second Exam Arc

Departing to the Awaji Island, Nozomi continued to participate in the second exam. Nozomi, Sayaka, and Sayuri Naka then befriended Yuko Oshima, a former Volleyball player. When Sayaka ran away from others, Nozomi secretly followed her. But soon, Sayaka was blamed by Sachiko Yamikumo as Nozomi witnessed them from afar. As they participated in the first test, Nozomi managed to beat Sayaka's score, and damended Miyata to tell what happened on the last year qualifiers, and why did she stop being a Judoka. Sayaka told Nozomi that she lost on purpose in order to try Keijo.

Nozomi eventually reached the final test of the second exam, as their instructor, Nagisa Ujibe revealed that the last test would put them into a trial match. As Nozomi got her turn, she engaged in a fight against Yume Miki. After being trapped by Miki and blocked by Miho Ono, Nozomi was able to counter her. Furthermore, she managed to defeat two participants at once. A short time later, Nozomi noticed that Sayaka fell out of the Land, prompting Nozomi to assault Yamikumo, the one who defeated Sayaka.

Later, Nozomi prepared for the second match as she approached Sayaka. As Sayaka questioned Nozomi on why did she decide to try Keijo, Nozomi stated it was because of money. While Sayaka herself that she wanted to wear a cute swimsuit. Nozomi cheered Sayaka up, as Sayaka regained her confidence. As the match started, Nozomi realized that she was being targeted by four participants. Thus, Nozomi was cornered by the three of them. But soon, another participant, Hanabi Kawai, showed up and asked Nozomi to join into the fight. Hanabi quickly defeted the three of them, while leaving the last survivor to run away. Hanabi then started to talk with Nozomi, alluding of how Nozomi ignored her on the previous race. Hanabi then quickly approached Nozomi in a close distance, and landed an opening blow on her. However, Nozomi survived since she know that Hanabi targeted her jaw to knock her out.

Nozomi stated that she surprised upon knowing that Hanabi was capable of targeting weak points. Hanabi then continued to attack overwhelm Nozomi. Shortly after, in order to counter Hanabi's attack, Nozomi used her own technique. While Hanabi managed to dodge but it grazed her swimsuit. When she overwhelmed Nozomi again by targeting her solar plexus and nape, the other weak points, Nozomi used the "BTB Attack" to counter and prevent Hanabi from targeting her weak points. One minute left, Nozomi pushed her again and both collided in a fierce fight. Nozomi seemingly cornered her and was about to finish her. However, Hanabi countered and cancelled Nozomi's last attempt, hitting her jaw and managed to make her lose consciousness. As Nozomi fell down out of the Land, Hanabi thanked her and claimed that she enjoyed the fight.

On New Year's Day, Nozomi went to her workplace, but there she surprisingly met Sayaka. While Miyata noticed that something was wrong with Nozomi, despite Nozomi passed the exam. While Nozomi revealed that she still felt frustrated due to being defeated by Hanabi. Sayaka then told Nozomi that they have to get stronger together.

### Sweet Room Arc

Months later, Nozomi went to move into her new school. Leaving her siblings in take care of Fumiko Omotenishi. After arriving at Setouchi Keijo Training School, Nozomi was later greeted by Hanabi Kawai, and met the first ranked examinee from the Elite Class, Mio Kusakai. Mio instantly showed her interest towards Nozomi. While also saying that she'd like to have a match with her. A short time later, Nozomi went to the toilet, but she immediately screamed upon seeing male students there. Nozomi rushed towards Sayaka, while Sayaka explained that male students were studying to become Keijo Engineers. Nozomi was shocked since she thought that Setouchi was an all-girls school. Masaru Okazaki approached Nozomi and mumbled that she didn't apologize for seeing him while peeing. However, Masaru decided to leave as Nozomi still insisted that it was not her fault.

Upon attending the entrance ceremony, Nozomi and Sayaka figured out that they got the same room in the school's dormitory. But they were warned by Yuko Oshima that their room Room 309 was designated for those who barely passed the exam. The two quickly entered the room as were greeted by the two remaining residents, Non Toyoguchi and Kazane Aoba. As Nozomi and Sayaka introduced themselves, Non gave them some candy, while Kazane only mentioned her name. Nozomi then approached Kazane. But soon, she accidentally ripped off her magazine, causing Kazane angered. Non tried to mediate them but she tripped by a bag, pouring down the tea into Kazane's bed. As such, they were engaged in a commotion.

On the first day of school, right after the physical training, Nozomi and her roommates went to the cafeteria. Nozomi then offered the soy sauce, but Kazane shy away. Eight days later, Nozomi was able to get along with Non, but she was still unable to talk with Kazane. On the other hand, Kazane immediately left the room and went to contact her sister. The next day, Nozomi and her roommates participated in the "Hip-Toss" training routine, but they were troubled since the wind affected the ball and changed the landing spot. Shortly after, Nozomi bumped into Kazane while groping her breast. Sayaka then realized that the point of this training was to test their teamwork.

The next day, their teacher, Hitomi Hokuto promised to bring the room with the highest score to the best gelato shop in Awaji. Nozomi then realized that Kazane has the ability to predict the wind, and where the landing spot of the ball would be, prompting Nozomi to ask her to be their leader. However, Kazane shy away and hiding behind a tree. Later, they went to the cafeteria, while Nozomi started approaching Kazane. The next day, Nozomi was able to utilize Kazane's ability by looking at her pony tail. Right before they could finish the last pass, Nozomi told the wrong direction to Non, prompting Kazane to shout out loud about where the real landing spot would be. While Kazane realized that Nozomi told the wrong direction on purpose. Nozomi then said that she was waiting for Kazane to gain some confidence. In the end, they were able to attain the highest score. Kazane realized how precious her friends were.

Sometime later, Room 309 finally got the opportunity to participate in a trial match. Nozomi then teased Kazane for having a C-cup. However, they were surprised upon knowing that they have to fight Ujibe instead of Hokuto. As the match started, all of her friends started to attack Ujibe. Shortly after, Ujibe noticed that they were distracting her attention, while Nozomi prepared to attack Ujibe by performing some of acrobatic movements before unleashing a powerful attack. However, Ujibe was able to dodge, but it shredded the swimsuits of her roommates. As her friends embarrassingly tried to cover her body, Nozomi stated that they got fat.

Later, Nozomi and her friends went to the cafeteria, where they met Hanabi Kawai and Mio Kusakai. Furthermore, they also met Rin Rokudo. While the Elite Class then explained that Nozomi used "Vacuum Butt Cannon" to rip off their swimsuits. The next day, Hokuto announced that all of the regular students' fighting style, but she stated that Nozomi needed to talk with Ujibe regarding this matter. Nozomi was later banned for using the "Vacuum Butt Cannon", and she was classified as a Counter. Unsatisfied, Nozomi begged to Ujibe while saying that she didn't want to lose anymore. Thus Ujibe gave her a special swimsuit, the "UTM" in order to test her will. Two weeks later, Non informed Nozomi that the schedule for the class exchange was released, much to Nozomi's surprise.

### Class Exchange Arc

Three months since the new academic year started, the teacher, Nagisa Ujibe opened a chance for regular students to get into the Elite Class, and thus she held a class exchange event. Nozomi got her turn in group 2, along with Shizuka Kimura and Rei Mikawa, they face off against the fourth rank of the Elite Class, Kotone Fujisaki. As Sayaka Miyata got her turn, Nozomi cheered her up. Sometime later, Nozomi finally got her turn to participate. But soon, Kazane Aoba told her that Kotone was definitely strong, since her mother and sister were Keijo players. When Nozomi decided to draw the Land for their match, Nozomi was rebuked by Kimura, but Kotone ignored her as she enjoyed watching a bromance scene from male staff. Upon entering the Land, Nozomi tripped and nudged Kotone's swimsuit. While Nozomi apologized, Kotone was too focus watching another bromance scene from male students. Before the match started, Nozomi was warned by Kimura that they must work together.

As the match started, Kimura decided to attack Kotone first. Nozomi witnessed Kotone's Cerberus, as she defeated Kimura out of the Land. Nozomi immediately tried to attack Kotone, but was blocked and bitten by Kotone's Cerberus. Nozomi then praised Kotone for being able to predict her opponent's movement. However, Nozomi asked Kotone if she didn't care about their match, prompting Kotone to agree with her because she didn't care at all.

Shortly after, Kotone assaulted both Nozomi and Mikawa. However, Nozomi managed to discover Cerberus' weakness, this made Kotone felt that she really wanted to defeat Nozomi. Kotone attacked Nozomi once more. But soon, Kotone was countered by the "Vibe Ring Hip". Unable to resist from any attacks with a vibrating sensation as the vibration itself was her weakness, Kotone decided to fight with her chests. On the other hand, Nozomi was glad since Kotone finally showed her face. But soon, Kotone performed combo attacks and managed to corner Nozomi. Shortly after, Mikawa decided to assist Nozomi but was defeated after receiving a blow from Kotone's chests.

As Nozomi became the last opponent, Nozomi started to perform some of acrobatics movements. Nozomi then released her "Vacuum Butt Cannon", and managed to graze Kotone's swimsuit. Surprised by this, Kotone decided to use her "Full-Power Cerberus", putting all of her strength into her butt. On the other hand, Nozomi decided to release her "Vacuum Butt Cannon" for the second time. As the two collided, Kotone lost in terms of strength, and was sent flying from the Land. Thus Nozomi won the match. Shortly after, Nozomi tried to shake Kotone's hand, but Kotone refused and shy away. Right after her victory, Nozomi was called by Ujibe. She cheered Non Toyoguchi up, who was about to get her turn.

Upon being dragged to the infirmary, Nozomi panicked and tried to apologize for using the "Vacuum Butt Cannon", albeit it was banned by Ujibe. However, Ujibe just checked on her butt while saying tahat her butt has improved ever since she wore the "UTM". Shortly after, Nozomi found out that Sayaka, Kazane and Hanabi Kawai were eavesdropped from outside. While Non rushed towards Nozomi and the others, claiming that she won the match. As such, Nozomi congratulated her. Later, Nozomi, Sayaka and Non watched Kazane's fight against Mio Kusakai. Nozomi cheered her up, while Sayaka doubted it since Kazane's opponent was the strongest student in Setouchi. However, Nozomi told her that Kazane would be alright. However, Nozomi and the others were confused upon witnessing that Kazane was unable to move and was defeated. They were not affected by Mio's "Breast Hypnosis" since it only effective in a close distance.

Later that night, Kazane gave her data book to Nozomi, filled with all the information that she gathered. Unsatisfied with this, Nozomi invited Kazane to talk with Ujibe. Upon arriving there, they were greeted by Hanabi. While Hanabi explained that Mio was punished for using a technique that was banned by Ujibe. On the other hand, Ujibe herself then also explained that performance was actually rather splendid, since she forced Mio to use a technique that was explicitly banned from the matches. Mio also supported Kazane. Realizing that she was able to stay with her friends, Kazane smiled. The next day, Kazane saw the bulletin board while noticing that all of her roommates, including herself, have been promoted into the Elite Class. Nozomi then gave back her data book, suggesting to keep filling it. The next day, Nozomi thanked Mio for supporting Kazane.

### Training Camp Arc

Along with the Elite Class members and their teacher, Miku Kobayakawa, they went to Kyoto for a training camp. Upon arriving there, Kobayakawa announced that they arrived too soon. As such, they were given three hours of free time. Nozomi was invited by Hanabi Kawai, Mio Kusakai, Rin Rokudo and Kotone Fujisaki in order to go or play with them. However, in the end Nozomi decided to travel with her best friend, Sayaka. Shortly after, the two were found by Kazane Aoba and Non Toyoguchi, as they regrouped. They traveled around, and ended up being scolded by Kobayakawa for bringing too much stuff. Sometime later, she joined with the other Elite Class members to jog around. She witnessed the arrival of Kyoko Shirayuki, while Kobayakawa told them that Shirayuki would be their trainer during the training camp. They were all then surprised upon hearing that an active Keijo player would like to train them.

The next day, the Infighters, including herself, Mio Kusakai, Hanabi Kawai, and Atsuko Yoshida were coached by Shirayuki, while the Outfighters, and Counters were coaced by the other active players. Shirayuki then stated that a trial match would be the fastest way to make them understand. As such, Nozomi challenged Shirayuki first. Nozomi tried so hard to fight her, but she was unable to hit her even once.Shirayuki finally blew her away, while telling her weakness. All of the Infighters were later defetead as well. Later that night, Nozomi asked Sayaka if there was something wrong with her body, while stripping naked. Sayaka was surprised and threw her away. Afterwards, Sayaka learned that Nozomi was told by Shirayuki that there was weakness on her body, advising to observe Shirayuki.

The next day, they changed their training spot and went to Kamogawa River. By observing Shirayuki, Nozomi ultimately learned that her butt had gotten bigger. The next day, while the other Infighters were training at the river, Nozomi was brought to the fields. Shirayuki then asked Nozomi to putt out the turnip in order to master the "Butt Flash". While Nozomi initially complained regarding this matter, but later realized that Shirayuki was really spending her time to teach her. The next day, Nozomi tried so hard but was still unable to pull out the turnip properly. Shortly after, Mio visited her and managed to pull it out with on her first try. Later that night, Kobayakawa explained that tommorow they would held trial matches and Nozomi was challenged by Usagi Tsukishita. The next day, Shirayuki left Nozomi to train by herself. Later that afternoon, she went to check her, but surprised when figured out that Nozomi fell to the ground and lost her consciousness. Shirayuki then carried Nozomi back to the camp.

The next day, Nozomi fought Usagi in their trial match. While Usagi revealed herself that she was Mio's admirer with the fact that she felt jealous when Nozomi got closer to her. As the match started, Usagi made Nozomi confused by her fast movement. While Nozomi couldn't attack her at all due to her butt being so big. Shortly after, Nozomi managed to land a jab on her face by using her "Butt Flash", and was able to corner her. However, she overwhelmed Nozomi with her agility for the second time. Soon afterward, Nozomi attacked her again, but Usagi managed to dodge it. However, Usagi noticed that Nozomi didn't pull her butt back, but rather Nozomi dropped her butt on to Usagi, while releasing a new technique called "Meteor Hip". As such, Usagi was unable to bear the weight of Nozomi's big butt and fell down to the Land.

Later that night, Nozomi and Rin Rokudo invited Usagi to join the dinner party. Usagi initially refused but changed her mind upon hearing that Mio was also present. While heading to the dining room, Usagi told her past to Nozomi, but Usagi got embarrassed when Nozomi implied that their match was fun. Thus she ran away. While Rin explained that Mio was the one who motivated her, but Nozomi was the one who taught her how to enjoy fighting in Keijo. Shortly after, along with her friends, they were discussed regarding the next event, the East-West War.

### The East-West War Arc

After the end of the training camp, she went to Shimizu Keijo Stadium to participate in a yearly event held by Setouchi and their rival, Suruga Keijo Training School, known as the "East-West War" to prove which one is better between the two. Upon arriving there, alongside her comrades, she engaged in a commotion with Suruga's students, since Suruga's teacher underestimated Setouchi and made fun of them. Nozomi tried to approach Suruga's teacher, but was stopped by one of their students, Maya Sakashiro. Nozomi was still insisted of approaching Suruga's teacher. But soon, Maya blew her away. On the other hand, Nozomi managed to counter her, shredding Maya's clothes while telling not to underestimate Setouchi. However the conflict was stopped by Setouchi's teachers, Miku Kobayakawa and Hitomi Hokuto, who apologized to Suruga. Later, they went to the waiting room, Kobayakawa scolded them for making such chaos and advised to beat Suruga fairly and squarely. On the day of the race, Nagisa Ujibe revealed that the races of this year would be team matches. Nozomi got her turn in the third group, along with Rin Rokudo, Hanabi Kawai, and Saya Kogatana.

Setouchi won the first match, but they lost the second match. Thus the outcome would depend on the third match. Nozomi entered the match along with her teammates, facing off against Suruga's third group representatives, consisting of Tae Yokosugi, Midori Morimoto, Hikari Muromachi, and Maya Sakashiro. Nozomi got excited upon noticing that Maya would participate in the final match. Nozomi immediately rushed towards Maya, but was easily blocked and blown away. Maya thought that Nozomi wanted to attack her for the second time. However, Nozomi intentionally stucked her face on Maya's butt. Irritated, Maya blew her again, calling Nozomi as a pervert.

Nozomi claimed to have figured out the secret behind Maya's abilities, guessing that Maya mastered "Qigong". Panicked, Maya tried to lie, but Nozomi completely knew that. But soon, Yokosugi suddenly assaulted Nozomi. However, Maya surprisingly stopped her. Yokosugi demanded Maya to explain, which replied by Maya that she wanted to fight Nozomi, blasting Yokosugi away. Nozomi then managed to find an opening on Maya, but Maya was able to counter her as she was also able to channel "Qigong" through her chest. Later, Nozomi decided to use her specialty, the "Vacuum Butt Cannon", the two bounced each other.

As Nozomi used the "Vacuum Butt Cannon" over and over again, Maya was cornered. Maya began to lose her balance, while Nozomi tried to attack her again. But soon, Kaya took over Maya's consciousness, sending Nozomi flying with a great force. Yokosugi questioned her on why did Kaya take over Maya's consciousness. Hanabi was confused since she thought that her name was "Maya" instead of "Kaya", prompting Yokosugi to explain about Kaya. Irritated, Kaya blasted her away, defeating Yokosugi. Although Nozomi was assisted by her teammates, they were overwhelmed by Kaya's immense strength.

Noticing the three of them couldn't win against Kaya, Hanabi decided to use her secret technique, "Boob Soul", to heal Nozomi. While Kaya defeated Rin, Nozomi was fully recovered by Hanabi. Nozomi began countering Kaya, showing various techniques. Nozomi tried to speak with Maya, telling that Maya needed to finish the match on her own. Motivated, Maya was finally able to regain her consciousness. Nozomi then prepared to use the "Vacuum Butt Cannon" at its full potential. However, Maya was able to divert it away, cancelling Nozomi's attempt. But soon, Nozomi retained the momentum and tried to counter Maya. Despite this, Maya was able to grab Nozomi's boobs, stopping Nozomi. Maya assumed that she has won. However, Nozomi pushed her boobs more closer into Maya's face and hit Maya's forehead by using her nipple, knocked her. Maya fell down to the pool, defeated. As the final match ended, the commentator announced that Setouchi managed to beat Suruga and won the eleventh East-West War.

In the aftermath of their race, Nozomi tried to approach Maya, but was immediately surrounded by interviewers. Nozomi and her teammates then celebrated over their victory, but Nozomi was later thrown to the pool. Later that night at the feast, Nozomi asked Hikari and Midori about Maya, which replied by them that Maya fell asleep. While she was celebrating alongside Suruga's students, Nozomi noticed a small, enigmatic figure, called "Beach-kun", approached her. Beach-kun then apologized to Nozomi while also thanking her for taking care of it for the last eighteen years. Shocked, Nozomi immediately realized who this Beach-kun really was.

After she manages to fully master the "Vacuum Butt Cannon". Nozomi is able to release it without experiencing any side-effect. Nozomi is later able to improve the technique into several different variations. Furthermore, Nozomi is also able to release a couple shockwaves with a short cooldown.

**Vacuum Butt Cannon Type 0** (真空烈尻・零式, *Shinkū Rekketsu Reishiki*): Nozomi tries to release the "Vacuum Butt Cannon" without a series of acrobatics movement nor a run-up. As such, Nozomi simply spins her hips with a great force on the spot where she stands. However, it only produces a small amount of shockwave as Nozomi is still unable to fully master it. Furthermore, when Nozomi tries to use it on Suzuho Kato, Suzuho is able to dodge this technique by using her "Butt Transmutation". As a result, this attack misses by a few inches.
**Vacuum Butt Cannon Type 1** (真空烈尻・壹式, *Shinkū Rekketsu Isshiki*): Collecting a great amount of shockwave, Nozomi lunges at her opponent, before unleashing it. A horizontal shockwaves then emerges to shred the opponent.
**Vacuum Butt Cannon Type 2** (真空烈尻・弐式, *Shinkū Rekketsu Nishiki*): Mimicking how Ikumi Yuzuki releases her "Ultimate Novelty COckscew", Nozomi spins her hips in order to charge a great amount of shockwaves. As she manages to collect them, Nozomi then fires the shockwaves to her opponent 4 times in total. The technique ends with Nozomi fires two more shockwaves.
**Vacuum Butt Cannon Type 2: Butt Restraint** (真空烈尻 弐式 先の尻 "縛", *Shinkū Rekketsu Nishiki Saki no Shiri "Baku"*): Swinging her butt over and over again, Nozomi unleashes several shockwaves toward the opponent. By using this technique, Nozomi is able to cancel Fuyuyu Tsurugi from releasing her "200 HV Takemikazuchi". The technique is proceeded with "Vacuum Butt Cannon Type 2: Rear End".
**Vacuum Butt Cannon Type 2: Rear End** (真空烈尻・弐式 後の尻 "終", *Shinkū Rekketsu Nishiki Go no Shiri "Shū"*): The technique is preceded with "Vacuum Butt Cannon Type 2: Butt Restraint". After manages to freeze the opponent, Nozomi lunges at them and punches her own butt to achieve a stronger hip attack. However, the technique can be nullified by Fuyuyu's "Electric Boob".
**Vacuum Butt Cannon Model 3: Fujin Evil Butt** (真空烈尻の参ノ型 "風神魔尻", *Shinkū Rekketsu San no Kata "Fujin Maketsu"*): Firstly, Nozomi raised the ambient temperature by shaking her swimsuit bottoms to collect a large amount of air pressures within her butt. She then lunges at the opponent while, in the process, releasing a relatively large tornado out of her butt. Nozomi can rival Fuyuyu's "Double Lighting Spear" by using this technique.
**Yuzuki's Style Vacuum Butt Cannon** (雪月式 真空烈尻, *Yuzuki Shiki Shinkū Rekketsu*): As Nozomi realizes that Ikumi Yuzuki is able to unleash the "Vacuum Butt Cannon" with the inclusion of a typical wind blade, Nozomi tries to mimick her style of releasing the technique by utilizing the weight of her boobs. While it's invented within a short amount of time, Nozomi is still able to create a great amount of air pressure that blows away the opponent.

**Vibe Ring Hip** (バイブリング・ヒップ, *Baiburingu Hippu*): Nozomi vibrates her butt at high speeds while in contact with the opponent's butt, sending vibrations through their lower body. This technique was employed as a counter to Kotone Fujisaki's Cerberus.

**Neck Killer** (首殺し, *Kubi Goroshi*): An enhanced version of the "Vibe Ring Hip". Nozomi puts a stronger vibrating sensation before attacking the opponent in the chest. As such, Nozomi is able to cause the opponent's nipples unable to stand up for a certain amount of time. Additionally, her opponent also feels like that their nipples fell off to the ground. Nozomi uses this with the aim of preventing Sayaka from using her Judo skills. Thus, Sayaka can no longer hook her swimsuit in order to throw her.
**Butt Hurricane** (旋風尻, *Senpū Ketsu*): A double attack based on the leg rotation. By utilizing the rotation, she swings her butt to the opponents, even if the first hit missed, she can retaliate with the second hit. However, this technique can be cancelled by targeting the weak point due to pivot on one leg.
