History

COMMUNITY REPORTS
The remainder of this article contains lore created collaboratively by the Blaseball community.

Kichiro Prime & Alternate Kichiro

At the end of Season 4, the Kichiro Guerra who originally joined the San Francisco Lovers was swapped with a Kichiro Guerra from an alternate dimension.

The remainder of this article will refer to Kichiro Prime, from our own reality, and Alternate Kichiro, from an alternate reality.

Kichiro Prime

Kichiro describes themself as a shy, introverted fan of anime and hugging. Due to health complications they lived a sheltered childhood and never saw much of the world at large. In the times leading up to their Blaseball career they were largely described as a "Beautiful Cinnamon Roll Too Good For This World, Too Pure" by those that knew them.

Kichiro met Knight Urlacher at YaoiCon 20XX and they fell in love due to their shared interest in wholesome romantic pursuits and Tadashi Yamaguchi from Haikyuu!! When plans to form the Lovers Blaseball team were being carried out, Knight convinced Kichiro to join last minute as a batter to help them overcome their fear of social interaction.

During the events of Seasons 1-2 Kichiro experienced more of the outside world and the splort of Blaseball. While they did enjoy getting to play the game with their partners, they experienced for the first time what the real world was truly like. Kichiro was shocked and disturbed by the absence of True Love in the world and at the end of Season 2 their resolve was tested resulting in a dramatic change.

During the Pre-season Kichiro went on a quest to find ancient relics of True Love left behind by the Paramours of old. They were successful, finding an ancient shrine in the heart of San Francisco where a Love Spirit beseeched Kichiro to don the ancient Intimacy Regalia and become an avatar of Love to bring True Love back to the world.

Now blessed with the power of the Love Spirit, Kichiro is able to undergo a Magical Transformation when they utter the phrase "Time to pucker up!" causing the Ancient Intimacy Regalia to be summoned via a long sequence of close-up shots coupled with their theme song. Once transformed, Kichiro becomes Kissin' Kichiro and gains huge boosts to their Blaseball stats.

Alternate Kichiro

Not much is known about the reality from which both Alternate Kichiro and Mirror Parker arrived from, and whether or not it is shared with the other teams alternates. Both Kichiro and Parker have been heard spreading a philosophy of "Tough Love" from their reality's version of the Lovers.

Alternate Kichiro's higher defense stats have been attributed by other players to "An actual, literal gun. Like fully loaded and ready to go. We've gone through so many balls so far this season."

Alternate Kichiro's nickname for Kichiro Prime is "Squishiro".

Off-Team Relationships

Allison Abbott

Some Blaseball journalists (and glossip columnists) would say that one of the most famous relationships in all of Blaseball is that of Seattle Garages batter Allison Abbott and Kichiro Guerra. Their teammates would tell you that they always sensed the attraction and tension whenever the two were in the same stadium let alone the same room. There was even a ship name, "Kiss My Bat", being tossed around whenever the two teams glossiped about the "will they, won't they" nature of the situation. One night, after a game, the two bumped into each other at a coffee place after their orders got mixed up Allison ordering a light and sweet coffee while Kichiro had ordered the Americano. After chatting for a bit about the price of coffee the two realized that neither of them could afford to live in their respective cities on a blaseball players salary and it created a deep bond.

The pair, strangely enough, had two first dates. The first was actually during The Grand Unslam, the date was perfect but moments later it was as if it had never happened. Allison was so mad, but Kichiro said it didn't matter because it gave them a chance to have another first date. Witnesses say the second first date wasn't as perfect (Garage's pitcher Mike Townsend tripped and fell onto their table causing coffee to accidentally spill on one of Kichiro's favorite manga) but Allison and Kichiro were so enamored with each other it didn't matter, the date was still perfect to them. Luckily for Townsend the only time Allison isn't angry is when she's with Kichiro. There's a saying amongst the Garages that "Allison cracks bats, cracks knuckles, and cracks skulls. But, the only smile she cracks is for Kichiro Guerra."

Unfortunately at the end of Season 4 tragedy struck "Kiss My Bat" and Kichiro Guerra was swapped with a version of herself from an alternate dimension. Allison was naturally confused and it took her a few days to figure out exactly what was going on. Alternate Kichiro was clearly into Allison, although Allison had some apprehensions about the whole thing. It didn't take long for, "Kiss My Bat II: The Sequel" to become a thing. Supposedly, Kichiro Prime is doing fine and perhaps even hitting it off with the Alternate Allison. It's been predicted by sclientists that if all four ever manage to exist on the same plane of reality that their polycule would be unstoppable and bring True Love back to the entire cosmos once and for all.

Rumors

• Knight Urlacher had something to do with the coffee mix up, because they knew Kichiro had feelings for Allison and knew that she just needed a nudge in the right direction so she could act on them.
• Allison Abbott makes a big deal about ska not being an angry enough sounding genre but secretly she really loves the happy vibes because it reminds her of Kichiro.
• Kichiro Guerra is said to be the focal point of a song Allison Abbott wrote, however anyone who has asked Abbott has not gotten confirmation, only a black eye.

Trivia

• In 2020, Kaleidovision announced plans to create an anime series based on the splort of Blaseball. It is reported that when Kichiro heard this news they got so excited they shrieked at supersonic frequencies for half an hour and then passed out.
• Alternate Kichiro writes/draws a doujin about Allison called: "My Girlfriend Got Switched With Her Double From an Alternate Dimension But the New One is Kind of Hot Too??". It's extremely popular.
