Psybuki

Psybuki is the femslash ship between Psykos and Fubuki from the One Punch Man fandom.

Canon
In a flashback, Psykos and Fubuki were shown to be close friends in high school, where they were classmates. Moreover, Psykos was vice-president of the Supernatural Society under Fubuki's leadership, and she admired Fubuki for her psychic powers because they were stronger than her own. Psykos' admiration for Fubuki's strength motivated her to train her own powers, allowing her to develop a clairvoyant ability. When she looked into the future, what she saw there caused her to become severely misanthropic. She then proposed to the other group members that they make their goal the elimination of mankind. This created an uproar within the group; however, Fubuki was only opposed to Psykos' plan because of the fact that, without the existence of others, she would not be able to stand above anyone. Fubuki then sealed away Psykos' psychic powers, before Psykos left the group to create the Monster Association, where she pursued her new goal of destroying humanity.

During the invasion of the Monster Association, Tatsumaki is incapacitated by Psykos. At this point, Psykos has not only regained her powers but also become a Dragon-level threat. Fubuki acknowledges the strength of her formal rival; however she has complete assurance in her own ability to beat Psykos, using a technique she developed to counter Tatsumaki in order to win. After winning the battle, Fubuki reflects for a moment, wondering what exactly Psykos saw in her vision which caused her to go mad and seek such power. Post-invasion, Fubuki goes to A-City's newly rebuilt Hero Association HQ to visit Psykos, where the latter is imprisoned underground. She asks Psykos what she saw in her vision which caused her to forsake mankind. However, Psykos is unable to answer coherently, simply stating that she doesn't know anything and cannot remember. Fubuki breaks Psykos out of imprisonment and brings her back to the Blizzard Group. She spends hours each day trying to communicate with Psykos through a mind connection, hoping that this will yield answers. However in their shared mind space, Psykos simply repeats that she has failed and that she cannot be forgiven, causing Fubuki to be visibly disturbed.

Fanon
Psybuki is a small ship within the One Punch Man fandom. This is due to the fact that Psykos and Fubuki's interactions are almost entirely in the webcomic — the Monster Association Arc in particular. In the manga (which is more widely read than the webcomic), their battle and subsequent interactions were removed from the arc. Hence, it is unclear whether or not their relationship shares the same history in the manga than it does in the webcomic. It is possible that their relationship will be addressed in a later part in the manga; if so, this pairing will likely increase in popularity. Fans who do like this pairing may find Psykos and Fubuki's relationship complex and interesting, due to the fact that they were friendly rivals turned enemies. Some readers might have also found the telepathic moment they shared together somewhat romantic, inspiring them to ship this pairing.
