Plot[]
Ogasawara partakes in Ikkei Ukai's volleyball class when Keishin Ukai arrives with Hinata to help him gain a better understanding of how to play with different people of different skill levels. He and the others mistook Hinata for a middle school student but were surprised at the height of his jump when he was told to block a spike.
He later joined Ikkei in watching Karasuno's match of the Spring High tournament. Just before the game against Kakugawa High, he met Yachi and learned she is the team's newest manager but unfortunately had to watch from the bleachers due to rules allowing only one manager on the court. As the game was underway, he would ask Ikkei about the different tactics the players would use to combat against Hyakuzawa's height and learned that being quick like Hinata wasn't the only way to beat someone of greater height. When Karasuno eventually won the match, Ogasawara joined Yachi in celebrating.
During the nationals, Ogasawara is seen visiting Ikkei in the hospital at the time Karasuno played against Nekoma.
