OVA
Description
Zakuro Oshigiri, a 16-17-year-old with a lean frame and pale complexion, stands out with silver-blond hair, piercing purple eyes, and a black mask concealing scars near his mouth—a remnant of a childhood accident involving his twin sister, Sakura. He wears the mask everywhere except home or school, its dark hue deflecting curiosity. His wardrobe favors practicality: a black V-neck, low-slung jeans, a white jacket striped in black, and boots discreetly modified to stash weapons like collapsible blades, smoke pellets, and needles nested within belt buckles or rings.
Reserved and stern, Zakuro flushes awkwardly around women, recoiling from physical contact unless the person defies his perception of femininity. Teammate Yuzu capitalizes on this shyness, provoking blushes with playful jabs. He engages more brusquely with male peers, though Makino and Akatsuki receive softer treatment. Naivety colors his worldview—he earnestly believes women carry poison for protection, a conviction Yuzu fuels. Quick to snap under Anya’s provocations, he nonetheless prioritizes shielding Makino and Sakura, often intervening to de-escalate tensions.
Two years after Sakura vanished without trace, Zakuro joined the game to find her, defying its dangers to scour restricted zones alongside Kaikoku. This obsession risks triggering punitive game phases, yet he persists, driven by loyalty etched into habits like carrying her bracelet in a secret pocket. Every decision circles back to her safety.
Stealth defines his survival strategy—evasion over combat, honed through relentless training. He stockpiles emergency supplies and weaponized accessories, balancing tactical paranoia with mundane hobbies like jogging and crafting Chinese dishes.
Childhood dreams of espionage shape his methodical approach, yet emotional cracks emerge when Sakura’s memory surfaces: Tanabata wishes whispered for her safety, White Day gifts meticulously tripled. Among teammates, camaraderie binds him to Kaikoku and Yuzu, while friction sparks with Anya and wariness keeps Karin at arm’s length. His duality persists—calculating strategist layered over a brother clinging to hope, each action a silent vow to reunite what was torn apart.
