French people be like: ozu
that's just like saying we should include the 'h' sound when we pronounce 'hour'-Carmlillball wrote:
'Osu' has a 'u', therefore there's a 'u' sound.
Most Japanese tend to spell 'su' as an 's' sound (です is the most common example, where you can hear ppl say 'des' more than 'desu'). So yes 'ohs' is the more correct way to pronounce the name.
Can partly confirm. Vowel u in Japanese is very likely to be pronounced as an extension of the consonant before it, like tsu sounds more like tsss with a tone attached than actual tsu. Same applies to the other consonants.Zelzatter Zero wrote:

However, end words like です・ます (desu/masu) are not ideal examples because natives tend to omit the long tone coming after. Words like すごい(sugoi) would be better examples of “extended consonant with a tone” thing.
So initially, osu is to be pronounced like osss, with a tone. There should be no problem for non-Japanese speakers to just pronounce as it spells.
Also worth nothing that the su/shi/tsu being pronounced as s/sh/ts does not occur in all Japanese dialects, while in Kanto (which includes the standard Tokyo dialect used in media) and Kyushuu is something common, people from Kansai and other zones might not reduce the su/shi/tsu sounds.
Oss Supremacy, osssSSSSsss

I say it the way when the game opens up and go "WELCOME TO OSU", so 1 syllable I guess: os
I call it ooo suuu
sometimes i’ll say oss sometimes oss-ew sometimes oss-u (u is slightly silent)
