- ―Oshida
Ruka Oshida (押田ルカ, Oshida Ruka) is a supporting character in Girls und Panzer das Finale.
Profile[]
Oshida is a student of BC Freedom Academy. She is an "escalator student", meaning that she was able to enter the high school without having to sit for entrance exams.
In Sensha-Do, Oshida is one of BC Freedom's executive officers, and also commands BC Freedom's ARL 44 company. Her personal command tank has the emblem of a blue club.
Appearance[]
Oshida is an average-sized girl with shoulder-length, slightly fluffy, messy blond hair and blue eyes. She is seen wearing BC Freedom's sensha-dō uniform during matches and the schoolgirl uniform outside.
Personality[]
She is seen to be quite hot-blooded and somewhat condescending and arrogant toward Examination faction students, especially her "frenemy" Andou. However, she is capable of putting her animosity aside to achieve victory. She is also very loyal to her commander Marie being from the same faction and often has to look after her.
While supposedly representing BC Freedom's higher class, she seems to be quite negligent about her appearance, often fiddling with her hair, making it messy, and sometimes having wardrobe malfunctions. (e.g., in Dream Tank Match, Andou points out that Oshida’s button was misaligned).
Background[]
| Warning: The following information may not be inside Girls und Panzer's main core. It has some level of canonicity within the continuity, but reader discretion is advised. |
Oshida is first seen commanding the tank that led Asparagus to the second round bracket of the Cauldron Tournament. She is later seen watching Round 2 with Marie and Andou.

She is seen participating in several training sessions alongside Andou, conducted by Marie. These include fighting each other to determine who is best qualified to protect Marie's tank, which ended in a tie, or being forced to cooperate with her frenemy against Marie, where they both ended up defeated.
During Yukari's infiltration, she is seen among many students fighting each other. While the fight is real, it is also exaggerated to fool spies into believing that the two BC Freedom factions are unable to cooperate. She continues fighting and arguing with Andou from the tournament bracket lottery until the greetings before the match.
During the Winter Continuous Track Cup first round match against Ooarai Girls Academy, she commanded an ARL 44 marked with it's unique "Blue Cub" decal, also leading a platoon of three other ARLs. Initially, making their opponents believe they had left the flag tank apparently defenseless, she actually reunites with Andou's SOMUA platoon and assaults Ooarai's tank on the bridge. After a fierce exchange of fire and Ooarai's escape from the bridge, she and her platoon are forced to retreat due to the Leopon Team storming their rear. She is last seen in formation, singing the Chant de l'Oignon with her teammates.
Trivia[]
- Her character and appearance is based on the character Oscar Francois de Jarjayes from the manga Rose of Versailles.
- The fact that Oshida is part of the Escalator faction, BC Freedom's upper class, echoes her situation in the manga as Oscar is part of the French nobility.
- Oshida's protective behavior toward Marie is a reference to Oscar who was tasked upon her arrival in the French Court to protect the dauphine Marie-Antoinette.
- While never fully named, her first name appears on some merchandising products.
