Training Montage

Training Montage is the femslash ship between Akane Owari and Ibuki Mioda from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
In the game, Akane and Ibuki are both members of Class 77-B, and were both participants of the Killing School Trip.

Both are bold in their talents respectively, with Akane's habit of eating and fighting, and Ibuki's hyperactive behavior. The two of them are not the brightest in Class Trials either; only presenting one piece of evidence in the trial Hajime Hinata can actually use or completely getting a clue misinterpreted.

Ibuki and Akane are also a target of Hiyoko Saionji's relentless teasing. This is due to their carefree & gullible natures.

Although Hiyoko and Ibuki were best friends at Hope's Peak Academy and that the dancer is a fan of the musician's music, Hiyoko and Akane are distant. Hiyoko sees the duo as "peabrains", calls them names, and has gone as far as revealing she had gotten Akane to consume flowers that she had stomped on. After that instance, Hiyoko had stopped teasing them because they were just that gullible.

When fighting with Nekomaru Nidai, Akane tends to become more persistent and determined. This leads to her becoming injured despite the times she says she's unharmed. In both instances, she fought with Nekomaru in Chapter Two and Ibuki was around to comment on both, and in both times, Ibuki is visibly concerned.

When fighting Nekomaru the first time on Chandler Beach, Ibuki screams which causes Hajime to run over and she exclaims "The killing is started again!", despite the gymnast and coach only training. Ibuki is surprised at Akane taking so much damage from Nekomaru, although Akane is wobbling away after the fight, and says "[Akane's] probably gonna get even stronger." After the second time and showing up to the diner, she's bloodied from training. Ibuki, who had flirtatiously commented on every girl so far, is taken aback by Akane and mentions the blood on her makes her reminiscent of the horror movie character, Carrie, before asking if she's okay.

In Chapter Three, Ibuki is a victim from being strangled. After arriving to the scene of the crime, Akane is appalled by a culprit striking again. She tries her best to participate in trial, despite getting clues misconstrued like how Hiyoko's key wound up in her kimono and defending Mikan when the nurse became suspect.
