Fanon
Ryokugie is a rarepair in the Your Turn To Die fandom. It is not a very popular ship because Ryoko and Kugie are both very minor characters, and never interact. However, that may be a reason people ship them together. It also is a reason that the two are often drawn together, romantic or otherwise. There is appeal in shipping two characters whose only common point is a similar role of minor supporting character, one reason being they wouldn't have that much in common with other characters anyway. In another sense, their common point, and one of the reasons they are shipped together, is that they have barely any information about or character to them. Ryokugie is also shipped because in Your Time To Shine, Kugie was confirmed to be attracted to women, and as a result femslash shipping for her became more popular.

Both Ryoko and Kugie are non-candidates, although interestingly, Ryoko was considered to become involved in the Death Game. This gives the opportunity to imagine what it would be like if she was in the Death Game, and Kugie survived her First Trial, so they would meet and interact. Alternatively, due to the fact that the two are background characters, some theorize that they could plausibly have met in the background of the main story and character's lives. As a romantic ship, Kugie is usually the one who is more outwardly flustered as opposed to Ryoko,who tends to be the more composed one. While both their personalities are largely unknown, they tend to be portrayed as confident people who like to take care of their friends. A difference between them being that Kugie is not as good at taking care of herself, while Ryoko is, and helps Kugie to do so. Kugie is often more brusque and sharp while Ryoko is softer, bubbly and friendly, which could compliment each other well.

Ryokugie is sometimes shipped as a way to ship Joesara but keep Ryoko from feeling left out, due to her canonical relationship with Joe. As Ryoko and Kugie are a part of the six highschoolers in YTTD, Ryokugie is often shipped alongside Joesara, or any other combinations within the teenagers. Kugie and Ryoko are also sometimes seen as having more of a sibling-type relationship, with Ryoko as the elder and caring greatly about Kugie. Ryokugie is less popular than its rival ships such as Ryojoe, Ryosara, Anzugie, and Kusara. For Kugie though, as a femslash ship, it's more popular than her het ships.
