Background

Hajike Block is a division in the Maruhage Empire that was formerly closed down by the leader of the Maruhage Empire. It is a legendary block of hajike warriors. Great hajikelists, both working for the empire or fighting against it, search for this block both to fight against other hajikelists as well as gain assistance from some of the warriors or items that can be found here. The leader of this block was Rocker, but he seems rather weak when compared to the other hajikelists of the block. Former assassin Rice lives here after Bo-bobo saves him and even Tennosuke lived here for a short time before joining Bo-bobo's team.

In Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Seriously!!? True Fist Match, the Hajike Block returns as one of the attractions in Hallelujah Land under the name "Hajikelist House".

Leader

Rocker

(ロッカー, Rokka): The leader of Hajike Block, Rocker is already captured by Rice's "Kome Shinken" by the time the rebels encounter him. After an hour of sitting in a giant rice bowl, he ends up turning into a panda, and is never seen in the series again.

Despite really being turned into a panda, it is revealed that after an hour in the rice is up, one is supposed to put on a panda costume, not really turn into a panda.

Hiroshi

(広, Hiroshi)/ Harry Hatenko: An odd man with huge sunglasses, Hatenko's clothes, and yellow horn-like hair. Hiroshi is first seen among that flock of Hatenko's "friends", shortly after Hatenko takes off to join them in their migration. Shocked by his sudden appearance, Heppokomaru immediately notices his different he is from the rest of the group. While speculating if he's an evolved Hatenko, he answers his cell phone by his actual name, confirming that he isn't a Hatenko at all.

After Don Patch shoots him out of the sky with a pop gun, Hiroshi climbs out of bush he fell in and reveals that he was wearing a helmet identical to the top of his head. When Don Patch demands to know who he is, he starts carrying on in a baby-like voice that he wants ice cream. Bo-bobo then pulls out an ice cream cone, and Don Patch starts acting the same way. However Bo-bobo eats the ice cream cone, and Hiroshi and Don Patch both strum a guitar in shock.

The act continues when Bo-bobo pulls out another ice cream cone, much to their delight. Pretending that Bo-bobo is his teacher, Hiroshi promises that won't play hooky anymore, while Don Patch promises not to be late or absent. Bo-bobo rewards the ice cream to Don Patch, knocking Hiroshi out. While Hiroshi is unconcious, Bo-bobo discovers a "ha" (ハ) badge underneath his scarf, identifying him as a member of Hajike Block.

Keepers

(飼育員, Shiiku-in): A group of four hajikelists dressed as dolphin trainers.

After the rebels fail to enter Hajike Block's front gate while hajike-ing in dolphin costumes, the keepers gleefully descend from the sky, giving them a friendly greeting, but quickly attack them with a double knee drop. As the rebels try escape with assistance from N&Ns, they glare at them.

After N&Ns escape attempt ultimately fails, the keepers manage to capture Bo-bobo and don Patch anyway and drag them to the Dolphin Show. The show goes on as planned as they force Bo-bobo and Don Patch to perform tricks. However, Bo-bobo and Don Patch reverse the roles and make them perform tricks, rewarding them with dumbbells instead of fish, which plunges them underwater. Despite being exhausted, the keepers have enough stamina to announce the final act, but are unconscious by the time its over.

Line Drawer

(ラインひくやつ, Line Hikuyatsu), also known as : A sentient striping machine (ライン引き) that the rebels encounter at a dolphin show at the front of the Hajike Block.

Immediately after Bo-bobo and Don Patch defeat the keepers, Line-Drawing Guy addresses them from the sidelines, stating that they can't call themselves dolphins. He then introduces himself as "the thing that draws lines on school fields". After the rebels ignore him and walk away, he asks them to at least listen to him. He tells them that he made a promise that he would go see the dolphins for his best friend: the 15th Level of the Vaulting Box, who was going to be thrown away for being most useless item in Toyohashi City Elementary's gym storage room. However, he mentions that he forgot his video camera.

After Beauty questions why he even came to the show, he mentions that came "to swim". Bo-bobo then kicks him into the water, as the rebels walk away, while Line-Drawing Guy struggles not to drown. According to the narrator, Line-Drawing Guy would eventually go on to represent Japan in swimming, and play a major part in the world championships.

Backed into a dead end, Beauty begs him not to read her fortune, but the fortuneteller process to do so, as he flips through a large fortune book.

(不快になるダルマ, Fukai ni Naru Daruma): A Daruma (a Japanese doll know for bringing good luck and encouragement) wearing a monocle and smoking a cigar that the Pet Corner has labeled “offensive”.
