Strawberry Trio

Strawberry Trio is the poly ship between Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu, Kazuichi Soda, and Gundham Tanaka from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi, and Gundham are all students at Hope's Peak Academy, in Class 77-B. They can be seen spending time together over the course of their school years, most often Fuyuhiko and Gundham spending time with Kazuichi. When Teruteru and Hiyoko put aphrodisiacs in the class stew, Fuyuhiko stops Kazuichi from stripping out of his jumpsuit. Kazuichi and Gundham are often seen at odds with each other, most typically over the romantic affections of Sonia Nevermind. Before the end of their second year, the members of Class 77-B are brainwashed into becoming Ultimate Despairs. They all set out to help Junko Enoshima end the world. At some point they are captured by the Future Foundation, and put into the Neo-World Program for rehabilitation.

Fuyuhiko and Gundham do not interact very much in Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, but they both have meaningful relationships with Kazuichi. He butts heads with both of them, although seems to come around to a friendship with Fuyuhiko by the end of the game. All three of them have loud personalities and are known to insult others, to varying degrees of rudeness.

Fuyuhiko and Gundham sit together on the rollercoaster on the fourth island, and Fuyuhiko and Kazuichi sit together on the funhouse train. In the funhouse, the three boys stay in Strawberry House, alongside Nagito Komaeda and Nekomaru Nidai. As there isn't enough room, Hajime stays in Grape House. When the clock goes off in the Stawberry House lounge on the morning of Nekomaru's death, Kazuichi, Fuyuhiko, and Gundham are the three that try to deal with turning it off. Nagito sleeps through the sound as he's in a sound-proof room. Gundham is executed at the end of chapter 4 for the murder of Nekomaru, and Kazuichi and Fuyuhiko are able to survive until the end of the Killing Game.

In Danganronpa 3: The End of Hope's Peak Academy, it is revealed that all of the students that died within the Neo-World Program have been resurrected. Fuyuhiko, Kazuichi, and Gundham are all seen fighting alongside their classmates to stop the world from succumbing to Despair. Kazuichi interacts with both Fuyuhiko and Gundham on multiple occasions in the non-canonical Ultimate Talent Development Plan and Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, but Fuyuhiko and Gundham never interact with each other.

Fanon
Strawberry Trio is a rarepair in the Danganronpa fandom. It likely came about as a way for shippers to reconcile their love for both Soudam and Kuzusouda, as Fuyuhiko/Gundham is not a particularly popular ship. Still, fans have found a way to create an interesting dynamic between the two, sometimes relying upon them being metamours in their poly relationship or having them fall into a slowburn while both pursuing Kazuichi.

There are currently over 20 works on AO3 for this ship.
