* LonersAreFreaks: She tells Joro this when they first meet, largely due to her being the target of scorn by girls at her middle school since they were jealous Hose liked her, but she kept rejecting him. Joro promises to help her get some friends. He first accomplishes this by having the Flower Dance participants practice in the library so that Pansy can spend quality time with everyone. He later affirms this by giving her and the other girls a LoveYouAndEverybody confession to avoid the other girls being upset that he chose her.

* BuxomIsBetter: He is a firm believer of this, which is part of why he thinks Pansy’s disguise is so ugly.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Literally blue, in this case.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Like Cherry, she's also in love with Hose, but is holding back because she knows he likes Pansy and neither of them want to fight each other. She even goes so far as to give her barrette to him, which would've ended the contest right there had both Hose and Joro not have been trying to OutGambit each other.

* FloralThemeNaming: The girls are nicknamed after flowers, while the boys are nicknamed for things that help nourish flowers ("jōro" [watering can], "sun", "hose").

* SitcomArchnemesis: To Cosmos at first, but it becomes a FriendlyRivalry by the time they move their affections from Sun-chan to Joro.

* SitcomArchnemesis: To Himawari at first, but it becomes a FriendlyRivalry by the time they move their affections from Sun-chan to Joro.

* HaremSeeker: At the beginning, his intent is to play ObliviousToLove like a harem anime protagonist so Cosmos and Himawari will be his harem. Although he stops making active efforts to acquire a harem after the first arc, he still has hopes of making one happen. [[spoiler:When he tries this at the end of the OVA, all the girls get upset at him. Tsubaki figures out he purposely did this to [[StatusQuoIsGod avoid them breaking up their friendship]] due to him dating Pansy.]]

* XanatosGambit: His simultaneous LoveConfession to all the girls in the OVA. If they accept, it’s a MarryThemAll situation and he finally gets the harem he’s coveted since the start of the series. If they reject it (which they do), it becomes a roundabout way of being able to DumpThemAll without picking one over the other, which he knows would inevitably fracture the girls’ friendships with each other. In either case, he’s able to keep his promise of helping Pansy make some TrueCompanions.

* LonersAreFreaks: She tells Joro this when they first meet, largely due to her being the target of scorn by girls at her middle school since they were jealous Hose liked her, but she kept rejecting him. Joro promises to help her get some friends, which he finally does at the end of the OVA [[spoiler:by giving her and the other girls a LoveYouAndEverybody confession to avoid the other girls being upset that he chose her.]]

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy: Towards Pansy. Despite his feelings for her, he ultimately decides to forgo their agreement [[spoiler:to date if his team won the baseball game]] for Joro's sake.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: He tries to apply some LoopholeAbuse to the contest by having girls from his school give him their barrettes. It looks like he's finally won, until Sun-chan shows up and essentially does the same thing for Joro with the girls from his school. [[spoiler:He tries to break the rules, but Cosmos and Himawari tell him about the rules the same way he did to them earlier. Pansy then gives her barrette to Joro, and tells Hose to never approach her ever again.]]
* IdenticalStranger: [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/oresuki/images/9/95/Joro_with_Hose.jpg He looks very similar to Joro]], except his hair is slightly messier and has a purple tint. [[spoiler:He later takes advantage of this by disguising himself as Joro]].
* KickTheDog: He has one in the OVA. Up until this point, he seems to be a fairly upbeat and likeable guy. He then asks to speak to Joro privately, and asks to modify their agreement. [[spoiler:He has an evil aura around him, and says that whoever loses not only loses access to Pansy, but any of her friends as well. He then says he wants to destroy Joro and kick him while he's down while he's at it.]]

* InterimVillain: She’s hardly a threat, but she’s the closest there is to a villain in the interim between the third and fourth arcs.

* IdenticalStranger: [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/oresuki/images/9/95/Joro_with_Hose.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20191218151544 He looks very similar to Joro]], except his hair is slightly messier and has a purple tint. [[spoiler:He later takes advantage of this by disguising himself as Joro]].
