- Haruma Hazeura

Harulight is the slash ship between Haruma Hazeura and Light Tenryu from the Shadowverse Flame fandom.

Canon
Haruma and Light are card fighters from the anime Shadowverse Flame. Haruma Hazeura is the leader of First Reaper and Light Tenryu is a member of Seventh Flame.

First meeting
Haruma hears of Light attempting to bring back Seventh Flame after the club shut down due to not having the required amount of members. He tells his friends that he'll give him some time before he crushes the club again but they don't actually meet til episode 14.

Light meets Haruma after asking Mikado Shirogane for directions. Haruma is located in an empty classroom staring out of the window when Light walks in and introduces himself. Light then asks him to battle him in a card fight. Haruma sighs and calls him an idiot. Before beginning their battle, Haruma exclaims that he'll crush his club again. Light states that he hopes he can understand Haruma through this battle and understand why Haruma stomps on other players and tells them to quit. Haruma tells him he's ridiculous and only the strong survive Shadowverse. Throughout the battle, Haruma underestimates Light because he's a beginner and new to his school. Light tries to show that he's grown into a better player. During a tough turn, Light exclaims desperately that he truly wants to understand Haruma and his way of playing. Haruma shuts him down stating that someone as weak as him could never understand his Shadowverse. Haruma quickly wins their first battle together as Light falls to the ground. Haruma looks at him with a mixed expression and walks over to him. He pulls him up by the collar and tells him that he's a wimp and he shouldn't be playing Shadowverse. Light asks him why he's saying that to which Haruma replies, "'Cause you're weak. So weak you can't beat me!' He pulls him in closer with an angrier expression and tells him to quit Shadowverse. A bright light appears from Light's phone and his Digital Friend appears, protecting him from Haruma. Haruma stands up with a sad look on his face that breaks his character for a split second before sighing and stating that cards are for fighting anf not protecting yourself. He walks off as Light yells for him. Light's Digi Friend, Dragnir, asks him why he didn't ask his friend to help him with Haruma and Light says that he felt like he needed to deal with Haruma on his own. As Haruma walks away from the school, he thinks about his battle with Light and turns back to face the school.

On episode 15, Light meets up with his friends again and spoke about his battle with Haruma. His friends ask if he said or did anything to him and he lies by telling him that he just lost. Mikado Shirogane soon announces a tournament to which Light can battle Haruma again. He says that Light's club can gain his respect if he wins and Light decides to train for the occasion.

Second Battle
Episode 32 is Haruma and Light's second battle. Haruma and Light walk into the arena on opposite sides and instead of standing in his spot, Haruma walks past it all the way to Light and slaps his forehead onto Light's (just like in the image above). During the conversation, Haruma is trying to intimidate Light with his sly speech. Haruma says he's glad Light made it that far. Light says that he believes that he will win against Haruma and understand him because of the hard work he's put into it. Haruma slaps Light's fist away and tells him that he doesn't need understanding. He slams his head against Light's a second time while calling him an idiot. He yells that he's going to show everyone how cruel reality can be. Light lifts his head, pushing Haruma back and says that he's going to change Haruma's reality because of the pain he's in. Haruma stays silent for a while and walks to his spot so they can begin their battle. Light thinks about their first battle throughout their second, while Haruma stays sadistic just like their first battle as well. Haruma tells Light that Shadowverse is a 1V1 player game but Light disagrees. He thinks it's a game to form and strengthen bonds. Haruma admits he might have underestimated Light and gets angry at the thought of Light improving. Light soon realizes that Haruma is such a bully due to the fact that he hates losing. Light tries to explain that losing has meaning and it can only make you stronger but Haruma refuses to listen to him. He finds defeat despairing. Haruma wants to make Light experience that despair but Light says he will not for the sake of his friends and Haruma too. Haruma asks him how he'll benefit from understanding Haruma and Light replies with saying he hasn't figured it out yet.

Episode 33 is a continuation of their battle. Light tells Haruma that when they first fought, he was afraid of him. But is no longer scared because of his improvement. While Light is being cheered on by his club members, Haruma gets more irritated than usual saying that forming bonds and understanding people through Shadowverse sounds "so good," which is why people get tricked by it. He simply believes in strength. The truth behind Haruma's idea is revealed when he breaks down. He tried his best to defeat Mikado Shirogane to no avail and was ridiculed. Light looks at him with a pained face and Haruma hates this. Light wins against Haurma after a close match. Light walks over to Haruma and lends him a hand, offering to help him up but he refuses and slaps his hand away.

Haruma and Light don't interact much after the tournament but they are seen to be on good terms after it. Light invites Haruma to go to a resort but he rejects and calls him crazy instead. Light tells Dragnir that he'll just invite him again next time. On episode 51, Haruma is seen cheering for Light after he won the World-Ranking.

Fanon
In fanon, Haruma is typically seen as the flirty type, normally making the moves on Light. Or other times, Light says something to embarrass or tease Haruma. They are also depicted as the sunny x grumpy trope. Harulight is mostly shipped due to the fact that Light actively sook out a friendship and redemption for Haruma. They are also shipped a lot because of how different they are in character. Or their slight height difference.
