* TheDreaded: By the third time it appears, Joro is terrified of it.
* EvilAura: It is sometimes seen with this, to emphasize its fearsomeness.
* RunningGag: It’s not really a character so much as a recurring element that Joro has taken to personifying as the harbinger of his rom-com conflicts.
* RuleOfFunny: The odds of people making their troublesome love confessions to Joro with the exact same words in the exact place are slim, yet somehow a bench always appears in the most nonsensical of places to make it happen. Pansy went out of her way to have bench parts express delivered to the school library for her confession to Joro, but how it shows up on the roof and in the science lab is a mystery.
* ShoutOut: Its leitmotif is a blatant “[[Franchise/StarWars Imperial March]]” ripoff with some Darth Vader breathing occasionally thrown in.

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.
