"Hang on! Don't give up, Emma! You want to see your family again, don't you? Bet you are dying to know my name, don't you? Don't go dying on me, Emma!"

- Mister to an unconscious Emma when he attempted to bring her back to the shelter safely.

YuuEmma is the friendship between Emma and Yuugo from the The Promised Neverland fandom.

Canon
Emma initially showed skepticism and a tint of hatred towards Mister, which is however unmatched by his much greater hatred towards her. Being a forgiving and trusting person, Emma does not hold a grudge against Mister even after he threatened to kill her a couple of times, noticeably when he shoots her or when he uses her and Ray as bait to lure a man-eater. Emma is highly aware of the animosity Mister displayed towards her, nevertheless, she tried to get on good terms with him and explained her goal of saving the orphans in Grace Field, which changed the man's perspective on life as he started to regret his decision to get Emma killed in Goldy Pond. Therefore, the hostility between Emma and Mister starts to lessen.

During the fight Emma, Mister, Ray and a few members of the Goldy Pond Resistance had against Leuvis, Emma was keen and eager to know Mister's name, while the opposite sheepishly promised to reveal to her afterward, showing the progressing friendship and acceptance the two started to have.

As time flies, Emma begins to see Mister in a new light as both sides accept each other as friends, this was shown when Mister finally revealed his name to Emma, as the latter smiled warmly at him. As time passed, Emma became a daughter figure to Mister, evident when Emma and Ray were preparing to search for Cuvitidala, Mister recommended the two to have Violet and Zack to accompany them. Gillian then figured out how Mister had become increasingly caring towards Emma and Ray as it showed how much he is concerned about the two's safety. When Emma and the rest left, Lucas called Mister a "mother hen" as he kept worrying about Emma and the others' safety.

Mister also tends to share his words of wisdom with Emma, and encourages her to stay with her choices and is confident that Emma will be able to change the world. All this is why Emma is completely devastated when she finds out about Mister's death. However, Mister also comes to be one of Emma's main motivations to keep fighting for a future for the cattle children, and Emma swears she will make it the human world for his sake.

Fanon
This ship is very beloved overall in the The Promised Neverland fandom since many have come to appreciate and love the father-daughter relationship Emma and Yuugo have. Since most of this duo's scenes were not even animated in the anime, many fans felt sad and disappointed that they couldn't get to see many of their most memorable moments animated. And many complained about this removal arguing that some scenes, such as the ones where Yuugo's lessons and words motivated Emma, were essential to her character development.

The friendship currently has only 14 works on AO3.
