Kizuchi Sisters

Kizuchi Sisters is the familyship between Kanna Kizuchi and Kugie Kizuchi from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Background
Kanna was adopted by Kugie's family when she was little. Kugie hated Kanna, for mainly unknown reasons. Kanna always tried to laugh off Kugie's bullying, pretending she was fine, but that made Kugie dislike her even more, describing Kanna as creepy. Their parents didn't understand why Kugie was always cruel to Kanna.

Kanna never wanted to make her sister out as a villain, so she tried to keep smiling. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and ran away from home. She decided she couldn't and didn't want to go back home, so she put a bucket on her head and cried. Kugie came looking for Kanna and found a kid talking to her, who she mistook to be teasing her. She immediately scolded him for putting a bucket on her head and teasing her. The kid defended himself, saying he wasn't, but Kugie called him a liar. It was then that she called Kanna her little sister for the first time.

Kugie asked Kanna if she's still crying, to which Kanna apologized. Kugie realized that Kanna cries too, and apologized to Kanna. After that incident, Kugie and Kanna got along very well.

Sometime after, Kugie started walking with Kanna home from school, and would frequently go to an ice cream shop and get ice cream for Kanna for when the met up together. When Kanna was in middle school and Kugie entered her first year of high school, One day Kugie actually took Kanna inside the shop. Kanna got so excited to pick out a cake, so Kugie held Kanna's bag for her, and waited patiently for Kanna to make her choice. Kugie stayed smiling and teasing told Kanna to "hurry up and pick". While there, Kanna looked through the wish papers hung up on the wall, wondering if Kugie put one up there. SHe noticed the consent form, and asked the clerk, Midori about it, who Kugie was familiar with, and he tells her about the Asunaro vow.

After they leave, Kugie asks Kanna what they talked about. Kanna tells her about the consent form, and that if you write a wish on it, it comes true. Kugie teases her that she must have wished to stop wetting the bed, embarrassing Kanna. Kanna says that the clerk suggested Kanna wish for Kugie's wish to come true, because she couldn't think of anything. Upon hearing this, Kugie appears upset to Kanna. Kugie starts to say that she'd wish for Kanna to meet her real family, but then interrupts herself and says her "fated partner" instead.

Your Turn To Die
One day, Kanna and Kugie were walking home eating ice cream, discussing what to eat for dinner that night. People jumped out at them from a black car and they lost consciousness. The two awoke to being tied to two beds. They were given a time limit of 5 minutes before the beds would snap shut, killing them. Kanna had a key that let her escape her restraints, but it didn't work on Kugie's. Kugie tried desperately to coach Kanna on what to do, but Kanna was so frightened that she couldn't do anything. The time limit ran out, and Kugie was crushed.

Kanna realized what happened and was traumatized. During the introductions discussion, she had a mental breakdown over her sister's death, blaming herself for her death, and made herself faint.

She later asked Sara if she could have saved her sister, since they had the same trial. Mishima cuts in and lies to her that she couldn't, but Kanna doesn't believe him. She once again goes into a frenzy, blaming herself, saying that she's an idiot and didn't listen, even though Kugie was frantically trying to help her.

Mishima asked Kanna what Kugie was like, so Kanna described her as kind and always thinking about Kanna. Acting as Kugie, Sara gave Kanna some words of encouragement and affection, and Kanna decides she won't give in to the circumstances because she knows her sister is watching over her.

Your Time To Shine
In Your Time To Shine, in Kanna's introduction, she mentions that she has a sister but is not with her at the moment.

In Kanna's first Fondness Event, she asks Mishima for his advice. Kugie wants to get into a relationship and previously told Kanna she wouldn't do it if Kanna didn't like it. Kanna wants to keep walking home with Kugie and doesn't want to just watch a stranger walk home with her instead. After hearing what Mishima has to say, she decides to respect Kugie's decision.

Fanon
Kizuchi Sisters is a relatively popular ship in the fandom. It is Kugie's top ship and one of Kanna's top ships, but it's not nearly as popular as Soukanna. Its popularity is hindered by the fact that Kugie is a very minor character.

Kugie and Kanna are usually depicted as best buds after putting aside their differences and reconciling. Kugie often acts as a bodyguard and defends Kanna from anything, including Shin Tsukimi getting, as depicted in the YTTD one year anniversary art. It was a common theory that Kanna suffered from hallucinations of her sister throughout Chapters 1 and 2, as did Sara with Joe during Chapter 2. However, Chapter 3-1B revealed that Kanna had positive hallucinations of Kugie instead, helping her move forward. This sparked some ideas that Kugie as a spirit was watching over Kanna and giving her encouragement as she continued through the Death Game.
