JunnaNana

JunnaNana is the femslash ship between Junna Hoshimi and Nana Daiba from the Revue Starlight fandom.

Revue Starlight: The Movie
Initially, when Nana tells Junna about repeating the year, Nana remarks that the Junna she knew isn’t called Junjun, introducing this recurring notion for the two of them. Junna is completely lost and can’t say anything, exactly like Junna on the train. After Nana loses to Karen, Junna finds Nana again. But Junna doesn’t blame Nana. She understands that Nana was trying to protect them, and was well intentioned. During that conversation, Junna complains that she doesn’t know anything about Nana. But, by the end of the conversation, she realizes that Nana is a real stage girl, and that she’s a scardy-cat and a crybaby, like a kid.

On the day that Nana faces Karen, Nana mentions that she and Junna haven’t faced each other in a Revue yet. And the next day is when Claudine and Maya fight Hikari and Karen, which means that Junna has never fought Nana before the Revue of Annihilation. So even though Junna thought that she understood Nana best, it must have come as a shock to her to see Nana like a completely different person. She’s just as lost now as she was when Nana told Junna about the time loops.

Later, the kick off party for the 101th Production of Starlight is a blast and everyone is happy, except for the stage girls who Nana beat, who are all sitting in darkness. Junna in particular is sitting at the gazebo they usually hang out at, where Nana usually gives them snacks. Nana meanwhile, is nowhere to be seen. She was helping set up the stage. Nana mentions how the time for snacks is over, and instead they need to hunger for a new stage. This eventually leads all of them back to the top of the train car where Nana utterly demolished them.

Nana reveals that, as seen at the end of Rondo Rondo Rondo, she saw a vision of all of their deaths. Everyone faces their corpses as dead stage girls. Nana saw that Junna no longer had that same ambition that she had last year. Instead of aiming for the top, Junna had essentially given up before she even started. She refused to apply to New National, thinking she wasn’t on par with Maya. It’s not for nothing that Junna was the first one to “die” on the train.

Nana initially put them all in the time loop to protect them. And the first real shock that made her go down that path was seeing that two of her classmates dropped out of Seisho. And now it looks like Junna is going down that same road. So Nana resolves to go back into her own role, to the obsession of that girl, to seeing to her end. But for those last two, the camera shows Junna instead of Nana, making it unclear if she was talking about her own obsession with the past and the end of that, or Junna’s obsession with one day finding her star and the end of that. Probably a little bit of both if you ask me.

Meanwhile, Junna is completely lost. She doesn’t know what Nana’s talking about putting an end to. Unlike everyone else who properly faces their stage girl corpse, the shot of Junna barely has it in frame. After this scene, everyone other than Junna knows what they want from their upcoming Revue.Nonetheless, the two of them both choose to take a bite of the tomato, and accept the fuel so they can reach the next stage.
