Garuca is the het ship of Pucca and Garu.

Canon

Season 1

 * In "Noodle Around The World", when Pucca realizes Tobe is trying to sabotage Garu, she goes around the world to stop each of his schemes.
 * In "House of Doom", Garu was the one to save Pucca from the Lucky Cat trap in his basement.
 * If it wasn't for Pucca searching for the pink-bellied crane feather that Garu needed to get rid of the Cursed Tie, Garu would still probably be dealing with his unlucky streak.


 * In "Slam Bam Birthday Bash", Garu helps everyone to decorate the Goh-Rong restaurant for Pucca's surprise party and is tasked with the job of distracting Pucca so the others can finish. He attempts to comfort her, showing that he cares for her. He seems upset and worried when she cries and runs off. He then finds her, blows her a kiss to cheer her up, and leads her back to the Noodle House. These small things show that does care for her, making their relationship complicated.
 * After the usual chase between Pucca and Garu in Scenes From a Maul, the two end up in a scene, similar to a marriage. As Garu holds a ring that he was helping Santa get back, he hesitantly raises it to Pucca with a red face as if he wants to give it to her, before Santa interrupts.
 * In Up From the Depths, Garu is surprised by Pucca's inhuman strength of punching a large fish out of water. Back in the water, as they swim alongside each other, Garu seems genuinely impressed by Pucca and gratefully smiles at her.
 * In Armour Plated Love, Pucca presents her special meal to him. It is noticeable that Garu does tilt his head forward slightly to kiss her back until she is called by Dada for another delivery. He appears surprised by the interruption, but he quickly recovers with vexation.
 * In Rootin' Tootin' Ninjas, the Western Garu falls for Pucca, much to Western Pucca's dismay. However, when Pucca sees "her" Garu, she goes right back to him, despite the other's affection.
 * In Ring Ring's Party Favours, Garu goes to Pucca's party and even enjoys himself. He laughs after everyone comes down from the air after floating like a balloon and smiles when dancing.


 * In And the Band Played Rong, at a music contest who Tobe, during his performance constantly speaks about how much Garu makes him sick and he calls Pucca his 'stupid girlfriend', which is eventually the last straw and after realizing what Tobe just said snaps Garu into a rage and launches into an attack. They then proceed to destroy a number of instruments in their fight. It is also noticed that rather than punching and kicking like Garu's usual fighting style, Garu uses the instruments around him to fight Tobe, which is Pucca's fighting style where she uses the objects in her surroundings as weapons to her advantage.
 * In Little Miss Sooga, Garu admires her fighting skills so much that he gives her a vote of 1,000,000 at the end.
 * In Garu Down Under, when the Australian man who wanted Garu as his "son" and after Abyo gotten hit with the boomerang and landed on Pucca and Garu's dingo ride (which Pucca manage to tame somehow), Pucca falls off the ride that Garu caught her hand just in time before she fell off.

Season 2

 * At the end of Puccapatra, when Pucca kisses Garu, he does not try to run away and he takes the kiss, but he grunts angrily and waves his arms around.
 * It can be debated that either Pucca has the mental fortitude to hear Garu's sounds of distress in the astral plane, or that they are so connected that she can hear him, in the episode Astral Boy and Dream Girl. She is able to travel to the astral plane in various ways as herself to assist him on his path to enlightenment. It also must be noted Garu is the only one she hears from the astral plane while she is in the physical plane.
 * In Chef-Napped! Part 2, Garu sat next to Pucca during the hockey game.
 * At the end of He Loves Me Not, after helping Pucca defeat Ring Ring then noticing that Pucca is upset, he bashfully gives Pucca a bouquet of flowers, making her happy once more. Also, if you listen closely to when Master Soo is speaking to the fake Garu during the wedding between him and Ring Ring, the real Garu voices his displeasure with the idea of marrying Ring Ring, "instead of Pucca, who you don't like anymore", before everyone gasps at there being two Garus.
 * Garu seemingly was invited and accepted to go on vacation with Pucca and her uncles in Tomb It May Concern.
 * In Tame That Toon, Pucca and Master Soo are the only two who remember Garu when Ring Ring erases him from the cartoon's past. If she hadn't found a way to bring him back, Garu wouldn't exist in the current cartoon's time period.
 * In Full Moon Pucca, while under the influence of the full moon, Garu becomes infatuated with Pucca. Pucca realizes however, that she likes Garu the way he is instead of under a spell. It is a similar result that happens in the episode Love Soup in Pucca:Love Recipe.
 * In Dragon Player, Pucca was "captured" by Destiny and Garu went to save her. However, he found out it was a trick to make him save her and he was annoyed by this. She just wanted a romantic scene and date. He may have actually been worried about her and would be more annoyed that he wasted his worries over a fake situation.

Pucca: Love Recipe (Season 3)

 * The episode that does look cute is Go! Mask Woman, where Pucca and Garu where seen watching a TV show together that they both enjoy. Later on in the episode you can also see them do a super hero post together as if they were having a couple moment and the end.
 * In The Sooga Island Alien, when Garu gets his outfit dirty, Pucca washes it herself. After she inadvertently foils Agent Smith's plans, she dresses Garu in his now warm, clean clothes, and he seems appreciative of the gesture.
 * In Love Letter, when Pucca sends Garu a letter asking him to meet her at the gazebo if he felt the same way about her, it's important to note that he does walk back and forth, thinking about it. When he accidentally sits on a turtle that moves towards the gazebo, he doesn't get off of it until Ring Ring interrupts them and Ching. In the end, Garu sits with Pucca peacefully in the gazebo and it could be implied that he does feel the same way for her.
 * When Pucca loses her memory in Amnesia, Garu, along with Abyo and Ching, try to get her memory back. He goes on a scooter date with her, to no avail, and then he also eats the Noodles of Love with Pucca, in an attempt to jog her memory. He ends up inadvertently kissing her when Ring Ring tries to use the brain hammer on Pucca again, pulling her out of harms way.
 * In "Into Pucca's Dream", Garu is concerned enough to go into her dream with Abyo and Ching to keep her from sleeping forever, even after realizing the dream was about his and Pucca's wedding.
 * In The Heart Gourd, Garu is tasked by Master Soo to help him collect the alter egos of Pucca, and he does so without hesitation, showing that he does care enough to help her. When the Feeling side of Pucca gets scared of a spider, he's quick to get rid of it and offers her his hand. When the Aggressive side of Pucca falls, he catches her.
 * During the episode Tobe the Nice Guy, he is seen catching a flower crown that Pucca did make for him. The fact he tried to risk falling off a cliff to save this simple item shows he does care.
 * In Love Soup, Garu fell in love with Pucca again due to effects from love soup that she made for him.
 * When Ring Ring spies on the martial arts studio in Ring Ring at the Martial Arts Studio, she notices that Garu seems to be taking it quite easy on Pucca during their spar, barely letting her touch the floor. However, when Ring Ring has Garu as her partner, he doesn't take it easy on her at all. It can be argued that Garu isn't trying to hurt Pucca because she's much more strong than he is, but technically, so is Ring Ring.
 * In Plunger Soda, Garu almost falls down a deep cavern, but Pucca is able to save him by sucking in a lot of air, bringing him to her safely, and of course inadvertently getting a kiss. Later on, when Garu is freezing, Pucca gives him a scarf, and a two-way mitten shaped like a heart that allows her to hold his hand. When they get to the Plunger Soda stand, they are still holding hands.


 * In A Scary Woman, Garu is pleased to see Pucca when he is captured, alongside Dumpling, Bruce, and Casano.


 * In Valentine's Day, before Ring Ring interrupts the event, Garu was going to accept the heart-shaped chocolates Pucca made for him. He even seemed wowed by them when Pucca showed them to him.
 * Also, in The Basketball Competition, when Garu scores due to Pucca's assist, they stare at each other for a second before Garu willingly gives her a high five. He seems embarrassed by this action shortly after when he sees how excited Pucca gets over it, however. At the time Ring Ring saw both of them doing the high five, she arrived, interrupted the game and took Garu in her team. Both Garu and Pucca got angry. Ring Ring passes the ball to Garu so he can score, but when Ring Ring made Garu the sign so he can give her a high five, he ignored her. When Pucca ends up winning the game against Ring Ring, Garu not only claps for her victory, but allows her to kiss him all over to leave red lip marks as his penalty for losing, to Ring Ring's chagrin.


 * Garu specifically wants to get away from Pucca in Garu In Jail, so Abyo puts him in a jail cell at the police station to give him the space he needs so he can meditate. Things don't go to plan, however, and soon enough, Garu finds himself relieved to see Pucca, mirroring her sadness as they look at each other through the jail bars (albeit his sadness is from being stuck beside a ticking fart bomb).


 * In The Suspicious Games, Garu is pleased and claps for Pucca when she wins the first game. When Pucca sees how excited Garu is that the second game's prize is a golden sword, she wins it for him, and is happy to see him spar with it afterwards with Abyo and Ching.


 * In Dong King vs. Goh Rong Part 2, when Garu thinks about cooking for the people, he cares for the most he blushes bashfully right after thinking about Pucca when she appears right in front of him. It's important to note that they only had five minutes left to cook a meal, and Garu, due to that thought of Pucca, managed to get a score of 100 to beat Dong King's score of 99, saving the Goh-Rong from Dong King's clutches.
