Roma rides a motorcyle called a "Hooby Picki Picki," which is also powered by the Motorettes. In "Change" Roma talks to the "Tiddlypeeps" (children).

Regional Baseball Tournament

The **Regional Baseball Tournament** was a major high school baseball competition, that took one year before the series present time, and is the series' pivotal event, being regularly referenced by its characters.

## Profile

The Tournament was by all means and purposes a normal baseball event, however, the multiple developments that occured during its time helped establish the future character dynamics, making it the catalyst event of the series.

The tournament is thus mentioned frequently by most of the characters as the source of their crushes and future motivations and even schemes. As a result, the tournament is also one of the series quintessetial running gags, along the infamous Bench.

## List of Events

While the full details of the tournament are unknown and a full recollection is possibly impossible, many of the characters who were involved in the tournament have given their testimony of what their actions at the time were like. The following is a list of the events that occured, although in no specific order. They are as follows:

* Nishikizuta High School faced Toshobu High School during the final game. Sun-chan competed in the tournament as the ace of Nishikizuta High.
* Joro witnesses a mysterious beauty who turns out to be Pansy and tries to get a closer look at her. Coincidentally, a ball is sent flying straight at Joro's face, which protects Asunaro  from harm. The latter mistakes Joro's intentions and falls in love with him.
* Tampopo is seen cheering for Toshobu High School. After seeing Pansy rejects Hose’s confession, She approaches Hose to makes him aware of her affection towards him but the latter is oblivious to it. She later lies about her actions as part of a future scheme.
* Nishikizuta High eventually lost the match, and Sun-chan cheered his clubmates.
* Trying to cheer up Sun-chan after his loss, Joro goes to Tsubaki's  stand and purchases all of her deep fried skewers, as they are Sun-chan's favourites. Tsubaki is deeply grateful to Joro for this and vows to repay his kindness.
* After turning down Hose’s confession of love, Pansy goes to the North Exit where she witnesses Joro carrying multiple boxes of deep fried skewers. The two have a small conversation where Pansy learns of Joro's motivations. Pansy falls in love with Joro's kindness, who would do the best for his friend despite the ridicule earned from the public.
* Sun-chan was seen crying in frustration in one of the corridors. Himawari  and Cosmos both witness Sun-chan from different exists, and they both fall in love with him on their own.
* Sun-chan encounters Pansy in the South Exit. He later states that she gave him words of encouragement following his defeat. She denies this is truth and in fact, she claims she only told him her name, as he has fallen in love with her at first sight.

Episode 9.5

A special recap episode in the *Oresuki* anime adaptation.

## Summary

Joro approaches Tanpopo as she exits the Baseball Club room, startling her. He asks her to help him recap the Oresuki story thus far.

(roll intro)

The opening scene from the first episode. Joro and Tanpopo provide voiceover about the show. Apparently, the entire staff planned to not include the whole first half of the episode. Tanpopo says that she is an angel. Himawari's voice actress sometimes misread the character's name Hinata as Hyuga. Sun's voice actor sometimes misread Oga as Taiga. They point out in the montage of Joro and Cosmos's date that Hose and Cherry are visible in the background. Joro also mentions that the first episode has cameo appearances of all the other main characters (except Tanpopo because they forgot). Cosmos and Himawari's confession scenes both used the same script. Joro explains why he went to the library in the first place. They go though the rest of the first arc.

They continue into the next arc, with Asunaro's three-timing accusation. The voice actress for Asunaro was chosen for the part after her first audition. The voice actress for Sasanqua's performance scared the director with her line delivery. They brush through the rest of the second arc, with the reveal of Asunaro's plan and the Kabuten dance.

They move on the the third part, an anime-original swimsuit episode, and the reveal of Sasanqua's new appearance. No new information is given about this part.

They move on the the next part, introducing Tsubaki, the transfer student; and Pansy's favorite book. It is hinted that Tanpopo has known Pansy and Hose for longer than we thought. She acts familiar with Pansy and scared of Hose. They go throught the rest of the arc, and Tanpopo wants to sing along to the outro song.

I lost it and searched for
Those important things that no one else can find
The promise you made with me yesterday
I remembered it and looked for tomorrow again

I hug myself so that the petals won't fall

Yasuo Hazuki

**Character Profile**
Image Gallery

**Yasuo Hazuki** (葉月保雄) is a character in *Oresuki*and is Joro's rival and the target of affection of Cherry and, his childhood friend, Tsukimi. He is a second-year student at Toshobu High School and likes Pansy. He is also known by his nickname, **Hose** (保雄).

## Appearance

Hose looks very similar to Joro in terms of face, hair and body shape. He appears to have shinier hair and a slightly deeper voice than Joro. He is also slightly taller than Joro.

## Personality

Hose, like Joro, has two distinct personalities, a Nice Guy facade and his True Self. Hose has perfected his personalities to a higher quality than Joro.

Hose's Nice Guy facade is the face he puts on in public. In this form, he is technically perfect in every way, with exceptional manners and a blinding smile. His act is so convincing he has even fooled Pansy into believing he is truly a nice guy. Hose can use this Nice Guy persona to get away with virtually anything, since he always does things in a way where he cannot be framed as the bad guy.

Hose's True Self is a manipulative and cunning schemer. While his Nice Guy persona acts as if his disregard for other people's feelings is accidental, the truth is that Hose simply does not care about other people. He is possessive and sees Pansy as his property. While Hose's Nice Guy facade is extremely well-polished, he is prone to letting his True Self show when he is angry.

## Abilities

**Kindness:** Hose can be extremely kind and helpful. He is the embodiment of a perfect romcom main character with a shining smile.

**Disguise:** Hose is able to change his appearance and behavior to become someone else.

## Synopsis

### History

In middle school, many bad-intentioned people were surrounding Pansy, so Hose helped her get rid of them. He was later pressured into becoming Pansy's boyfriend but was rejected. He defended Pansy's decision.

### Anime

#### Confession Arc

Hose can be seen in the background during Joro's date montages with Cosmos and Himawari. He is browsing the clothing store with Cherry and eating with Tsukimi.

#### Tsubaki Arc

Hose runs into Joro at Mizuyama Park one evening. He buys a can of chrysanthemum smoothie and talks to Joro about his problems.

He inspires Joro by telling him when he doesn't know what to do, just try anything.

## Trivia

* Yasuo's nickname, Hose, is an alternate pronunciation of his given name.
	+ His nickname relates to his position as Joro's rival because Joro means watering can, and a hose is superior to a watering can in every way.
* Both Yasuo and Amatsuyu have “moon” (月) as a second kanji in their surnames.
* In the anime, Hose and Joro met in the park but in the light novel, they met at the school grounds. (need citation)

Cosmos's whole demeanor changes when she is nervous, especially around Sun (Cosmos' crush).

## Trivia

* The name **Sakura** means "cherry blossom" (桜).
	+ It can also mean "blossom" (咲) (**saku**) and "good, virtuous, respectable" (良) (**ra**).
		- Sakura's nickname **Cosmos** is formed by removing the kanji "野" from her name leaving 秋桜 (Akizakura - Autumn Cherry Blossom) which is also commonly read by its English name as **Cosmos.**
			* Cosmos is a genus of sunflower.
* Sakura's surname **Akino** means "autumn" (秋) (**aki**) and "field, wilderness" (野) (**no**).
