TereShima is the het ship between Daisuke Shima and Teresa of Telezart from the Space Battleship Yamato fandom.

Canon
In the second season of Space Battleship Yamato, the Comet Empire, there is a call from space. A radio signal, from a woman. The woman's name is Teresa and she lives on planet Telezart.

On the Yamato's way to Telezart, Daisuke Shima falls in love with Teresa over the radio. He always takes Aihara's place when Teresa calls. She is quite excited to meet him just like he is.

When they get to planet Telezart, Kodai, Sanada, Saito and the space marine go down to meet Teresa first, although most of the space marines are killed off. When they arrive, Teresa asks if Kodai is Shima, he of course says no. Teresa says they will wait for Shima before she tells them about the white comet.

Back on the Yamato, Yuki helps Shima get ready. Dr. Sado gets his hair all trimmed up and Yuki gives him a flower to up on his chest. He thanks her and is on his way.

Shima arrives and tells Teresa how beautiful she is, she tells them about the threat of the white comet, and that it will pass by Telezart in the matter of only a few days. When Kodai is about to leave with the others, Teresa asks Shima to stay with her for a little longer, Shima looks to Kodai and he nods. Saito and Sanada say goodbye and Shima stays. Teresa tells him more about the white comet, he begs her to come with him on the Yamato, since the white comet will be passing by Telezart and destroying it in a few days. She says no, that she must stay on Telezart. She asks him to stay longer but then tells her he is needed on the Yamato and leaves.

As the Yamato is about to leave Telezart, there is another radio wave, from Teresa, so strong it breaks the communications. Her telepathic powers are very strong, but she swears to never use them again due to her being the reason of the destruction of her planet. Kodai tells Shima to go to her, and he does. But they don't have much time.

Again, Shima begs Teresa to come with him, Kodai calls him and you hear his voice asking where he is and that they need him to take off now. Shima doesn't answer, Teresa runs into his arms, making him drop the helmet Kodai called him on. She tells him she loves him and will go with him. When they get to the Yamato, Teresa tells Kodai that she must go back to Telezart, she needs to use her power this once just to slow down the comet empire. Kodai agrees, but doesn't tell Shima, she asked him not to. She opens a hatch in the ship and floats down back to Telezart. Shima sees her back there, crying and waving goodbye, he cries and yells because he doesn't want to leave without her. Kodai convinces him to go as they watch Telezart be destroyed by the comet empire, but Teresa slows it down for them so they have more time for Earth. Teresa is thought to be dead.

In later episodes, Shima is blown out into space while trying to save Yuki, losing his oxygen and floating away. Teresa finds him out in space and brings him to her ship. She is not dead. She connects a tube to herself and him, giving him her blood to save his life. She states she doesn't care how much it will take or how weak she gets, she just wants him to live. She put his hand on her cheek then lays her head to his chest and cries.

In the last episode she gives Shima back to Kodai and Yuki on the Yamato, she tells them to take him to Earth, and that she will take care of the comet empire. She kills Zordar and defeats the comet empire using the last of her power and dying.

In "Final Yamato" Shima dies, stating he was in love with Yuki. But we all know he loved Teresa.

Fanon
is a quite popular ship among fans who have see the original 70s anime. The reboot took out their romance, it was more based on "Farewell to Yamato" Where Teresa was a naked goddess who never even met Shima. In 2202 its the same, they never meet. Although she most likely knows he exists. She knows of everything, she knows the future, how things will end, but all that she can do is pray. Nothing else. She can just hope and pray for love and that things will turn out good.
