MarveAhi

MarveAhi is the het ship between Captain Marvelous and Ahim de Famille from the Super Sentai fandom.

Canon
Captain Marvelous was once part of a group of spacefaring pirates known as the Red Pirates, who sought the Greatest Treasure in the Universe; alongside the outlaw Basco Ta Jolokia and AkaRed, incarnation of all Sentai Reds, however Basco betrayed them to the nefarious Zangyack Empire and led to AkaRed's seeming death causing Marvelous to flee with AkaRed's last memento: the Rangers Keys of all primary Sentai members; alone for a while he would meet other people who the Zanguack affected and joined up with them to create the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger, space pirates out to obtain the Greatest Treasure in the Universe as his old group once desired, though they were always at odds. Ahim de Famille was once the princess of a thriving planet that was targeted by Zangyack and had the royal family killed except for Ahim, who fled her world to seek refuge until she ran into Marvelous and joined the Gokaigers, becoming the voice of reason and kindness in the group. The Gokaiger eventually made their way to Earth where they figured the treasure was and ended up engaging in a full-on-war against Zangyack who targeted the planet after the first 34 Sentai teams fought and drove their first invasion back.

Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger
In episode 2, Marvelous ends up having his ShinkenRed key stolen by a boy eager to defend Earth against the Zangyack, with the captain pursuing the boy while Ahim accompanied him to prevent Marvelous from going too hard on the kid. After Marvelous and the boy talk things out, Ahim is relieved and later helps defeat the Zangyack Action Commander in turn.

In episode 13, Ahim is kidnapped by a desperate chef who uses a toy gun as a pretend threat, she sees through it but then seeing him as a man with financial needs takes sympathy on him and sends a message to her teammates that she's been kidnapped and held for ransom so they would give money, but Marvelous is too angry at her kidnapping and unwilling to pay so he opts to just rescue her outright with his team, moreso when they mistake a Zangyack attack as a sign that Zangyack kidnapped her. At the end of the episode, Ahim looks for her "kidnapper" to give him her forgiveness, with Marvelous being the first to notice her absence.

Episode 41 brings Ahim's past into attention when she plans to go on a borderline suicide mission to avenge her family's death by defeating the Action Commander who killed them, with the team expecting her to try and strike on her own for her revenge. As she breaks down in tears over her pain, Marvelous personally comforts her and makes it clear that he and his teammates consider her the most valuable member of the team despite her softer personality since she is the one keeping them together and easing their tensions with her kindness and like the rest of the team joins up in helping Ahim defeat the Zangyack Commander as a team. After the Gokaigers defeat said general and get ready to rest, Gai manages to conclude that Marvelous' big care for Ahim motivated him to help her get her vengeance so as to not lose her to her own borderline suicidal quest, which Marvelous isn't willing to admit and tries to shut Gai down over it by chokeholding him.

In the final episode, after Marvelous (and Gai) seemingly perishes after crashing the Zangyack's Emperor Ackdos Gill Flagship, the Gigant Horse, following a seemingly final duel, a horrified Ahim falls to her knees in grief when it seems like she's lost her captain until both him and Gai show up alive and well; with the Emperor surviving the crash as the well, Marvelous, Ahim and their teammates fight the Emperor with all the powers, equipment and abilities they have until they nearly kill themselves with several consecutive finishers to finally destroy the Emperor, bringing peace to the Universe before leaving Earth to fight Zangyack remnants on other worlds.

TKaizoku Sentai Gokaiger vs. Space Sheriff Gavan
The Gokaigers arrived midway through the film at a Zangyack prison where redeemed villains are held captive, during their exploration of the place they are harassed by the various villains inside, with Ahim and Luka being held by Trinoid #12 Yatsudenwani who is infatuated with them, Ahim breaks free earlier and runs to Marvelous for protection while the captain looks annoyed at the situation.

Kamen Rider vs. Super Sentai: Super Hero Taisen
Marvelous leads a resurrected legion of Sentai villains as Dai-Zangyack to destroy all the Kamen Riders in existence to claim their Universe's Greatest Treasure to the confusion and horror of his team, Ahim included, before they can truly confront him about his motives they are attacked and seemingly killed by Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade, who is leading Dai-Shocker (counter to Dai-Zangyack) on a quest to destroy all the Super Sentai teams to get their Universe's Greatest Treasure in turn. However, it later turns out that Marvelous and Tsukasa faked their evil turns as both had discovered their foes had allied to destroy all Sentai and Riders, with their "killing" of heroes being actually a gambit to send them to a different dimension to keep them safe from the villains while they planned a way to defeat all the villains at once when they lowered their guards. After the villains are all defeated for good, Ahim and the others reunite properly with Marvelous and she is the first to greet him, revealing no hard feelings for his deceptive actions.

Fanon
MarveAhi is fairly popular in the general Sentai fandom, and it's one of the most popular Red/Pink pairings in the franchise. This is owed up to their many bonding moments in canon and their dynamic due to Ahim's general kindheartedness bringing out the best in Marvelous. The popularity of Red/Pink ships also helps its case.

Many fans believe Marvelous and/or Ahim are attracted to each other, this is mainly a result of various episodes highlighting Marvelous' and Ahim's relationship and Ahim's very emotional reactions to Marvelous' apparent death in the finale and his reconciliation with his team in Super Hero Taisen; similarly Marvelous not wanting to lose Ahim and being very defensive about not letting his true feelings be found led to fans seeing it as Marvelous being in love with Ahim but being insecure and not wanting to admit it.

It's not quite popular on AO3 with less than 50 works on it, but on Pixiv it has over 500 fics and 194 fanart pieces. It competes with LukaAhi (Luka x Ahim), JoAhi (Joe x Ahim), Gokaifuufuu (Marvelous x Joe) and MarveLuka (Marvelous x Luka), with some slight friction between supporters of either ship, though depending on the site one group may be much bigger than the other. A few fights have ensued from time to time.
