Misashina

Misahina is the het ship between Yuria Misaki and Toru Hoshina from the Space Battleship Yamato 2199 fandom.

2199
Yuria Misaki and Toru Hoshina meet each other aboard the Space Battleship Yamato together in the year 2199. Yuria is 17 years old, and Hoshina is 18. Hoshina is usually always seen hanging around her, which she finds quite annoying at first, she asks him if its alright for him to always be killing time with her instead of working. He tells her that hes off duty, so its not a big deal. When he notices her acting a little strange as the voyage to Iscandar continues, he always keeps an eye on her to make sure she is alright. Later finding out that her body is taken over by the Iscandarian princess, Yurisha Iscandar. Although we know that Yuria can talk to Yurisha while Yurisha is possessing her, because of her line "Yuria Misaki is thinking about how much she wishes you would hug her in this moment" Which she says to Hoshina after jumping off the bow of the Yamato towards him after observing the crab nebula. He tells how dangerous that was, but he caught her. Hoshina later gets shot by Gamilan spys while escorting Yuri(sh)a to another part of the ship when he suspects danger. The fear of Hoshina dying causes Yuria to push Yurisha out of her body and cause the real Yurisha to wake up from her coma and Yuria to be free of Yurisha's possession. We see them later together in the medical room, Hoshina with bandages around him, he luckily didn't die! Yuria states that when he was shot she told herself she needed to get back to him, to that he responds that hes glad she came back and puts his arm around her, resting her head on his chest. We see them in the background together for the rest of 2199.



2202
In 2202, they are on their way to board the Yamato once more, along with Mikage Kiryu and Susumu Yamazaki. Last minute they decide not to go on, and to stay on Earth. They got married sometime after that, but we don't know exactly when. They later board the Ginga together.

2205
2205 includes a scene of Yuria calling Hoshina and telling him to basically hurry up what ever hes doing. "Toru, what are you doing? I'm going to be late for the assembly!" To which he continues doing what hes doing, looking for information on Ryusuke Domon.

Manga
In the manga, their relationship moves along quite a bit faster. In the anime they only get together after Yuria's possession was over. In the manga, they blush around each other in a few scenes, then at the celebration party when they leave the Solar System, Hoshina gets tricked into wearing a maid dress. Like Makoto Harada was, in both the anime and the manga. Yuria is a little out of it after letting Kato into the area to talk to Sugiyama's family, after telling Yuria that Sugiyama died so he's going in his stead. It caused Yuria to feel a little off, because we learn later that she'd already seen Sugiyama's ghost. She ends up bumping into Hoshina and sees him in his maid dress, he tells her that her face is red and asks if shes okay. She reassures him that she is but Kaoru Niimi doesn't think shes alright and orders Hoshina to escort her to the infirmary, not knowing its Hoshina, she asks herself "who was that girl?" considering hes in the maid dress and Niimi didn't recognize him, mistaking him for a girl. Yuria tells Hoshina that she isn't really sick and just needs a moment, he goes to leave but she tugs on his skirt and tells him to take her to her room. Hoshina is a little hesitant, and says they can't go in together, to which she replies "It's fine, youre dressed as a girl." and then tells him to stay with her. They both blush and you see them grabbing each others hand. After that is an image of their first kiss, which is definetly quite different from the anime. At this point in the anime, Yuria was still annoyed by him. In Yuria's room is when she tells him that she can see ghosts and how she saw Sugiyama. He takes her hand, and trying to make her feel better he points out the teddy bear on her bed and asks about it. She tells him that his name is Mr. Ku, her best friend since she was little and how they boarded the Yamato together. Hoshina picks up the teddy bear and says; "Don't be sad! Mr. Ku is here for Yuria!" A cute scene of him being a nice boyfriend trying to cheer her up with her childhood teddy bear. We see a few tears in her eyes before she says "Hoshina...Hold me again."Another manga scene is during the earlier stage of Yuria's possession. The cafeteria scene from the anime when she asks Sanada about the Wave Motion gun. The manga takes a bit of a different turn on it. After Hoshina comes to take her away, like in the anime, she tells him about how shes worried about the weapon. She snaps out of her possession and cries to Hoshina telling him shes scared and doesn't know whats happening. He pulls her into a tight embrace and then kisses her again.

Fanon
Many fans can have a lot of ideas about their wedding, since it wasn't seen on screen.

We can also think about what Hoshina thought about during the time when Yuria had been taken over by Yurisha, it's a little sad. He probably wondered if she would ever come back to him. He didn't know if she was stuck forever or not. But even though Yuria was possessed Hoshina still looked out for her, always. The Space Battleship Yamato fandom is very small, so there aren't very many people that even care about the romance in it. There are a few fanfics, and a fanfiction site, but they rarely include Misashina, besides a few small sections in the fics. Although a few headcanons have been discussed by fans, Hoshina is scared and hides behind Yuria whenever they watch a horror movie together, however, Yuria isn't phased by it at all, obviously because she can already see ghosts and has seen enough already to not be scared.

We see Hoshina getting lots more screentime in the newest season of Yamato, Space Battleship Yamato 2205. At least part 1 he does. Sadly, Yuria getting little to none. They're on different ships now, Yuria on the Hyuga and Hoshina back on the Yamato like in 2199. Its a little headcanon with some fans that they call each other and talk any chance they get. Its like Yukodai, the ship between Kodai and Yuki. They're now on different ships aswell, Yuki captaining the Asuka and Kodai captaining the Yamato.

This ship itself is extremely underrated within the fandom. Most people will slightly acknowledge that they are together, and not really focus on their story, since in the anime they barely get any scenes together. If you read the manga, I'm sure you'll ship it a little more after seeing their kiss scene though, but not many people read the manga, its not up to date and on 2 so far are translated to English.
