Hinata x Orange Juice

Hinata x Orange Juice is the cargo ship between Hajime Hinata and orange juice from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Hajime has never explicitly expressed a preference for orange juice above other drinks. During the party in Chapter 1 of Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, the students are seen around a spread of food. They are holding a variety of drinks, with Hajime holding a stemmed glass with an orange liquid inside. It can be assumed that this is orange juice. This is the only time in canon that Hajime is seen consuming orange juice.

Some fans have made note of the fact that Mikan Tsumiki's first name means "orange" in Japanese. As she and Hajime have a fair amount of ship-bait in the game, it is possible that Hajime holding a glass of orange juice is a reference to his relationship with Mikan.

Fanon
Hinata x Orange Juice is one of the most well-known memes in the Danganronpa fandom. It is rivalled by other Super Danganronpa 2 crackships, such as Nagito x Hope and Hope Bagels. Hinata x Orange Juice has the added bonus of being based somewhat on canon, whereas Hope Bagels is a meme based entirely on a fan's Let's Play video. It also follows the theme of other Character x Food cargo ships from other games, most notably Aoi x Donuts.

Hinata x Orange Juice is prominent in both the fanart and fan fiction scene. Artists are known to draw Hajime holding orange juice or surrounded by oranges. Some have also declared Hajime the "Ultimate Orange Drinker", which works well seeing as Hajime canonically does not have an "Ultimate" talent. Hinata x Orange Juice is a reoccurring meme in fan communities such as Reddit, Tumblr, and X (Twitter). A number of YouTube crack videos also exist that involve Hajime talking about orange juice.

Fanfiction often revolves around Hajime trying to get a drink of orange juice, or declaring his love for the beverage. Some fans take things even farther, having Hajime incorporate orange juice into more "explicit" scenarios. Sometimes Orange Juice is anthropomorphized to be its own character, and other times it is merely a drink that Hajime loves. Hinata x Orange Juice is often times shipped in conjunction with Komahina.
