Repkyle

Repkyle is the slash ship between Kyle and Rogelio from the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power fandom.

Canon
In the first episode, "The Sword Part 1", Rogelio is the only cadet that doesn't blame Kyle for being the first to be taken down in the battle simulation. They are most often seen together throughout the first season. Typically with Rogelio helping Kyle out and making sure he's okay. Rogelio acts very caring towards Kyle. Rogelio has been seen with his arm around Kyle, bandaging Kyle's arm, and even carrying him in his arms.

By season 4 their group dynamic with Lonnie and Catra is put under increasing stress due to the Horde pushing the war effort and Catra becoming unstable in her leadership role. They later become trapped in a Horde transport in the Whispering Woods during an acid snow storm while on another mission. They fight over their current situation and own doubts about the Horde. Kyle then leaves the transport to repair it despite the acid rain because he wants to help friends, even if they claim not to be. Rogelio and Lonnie then go out to help him as Kyle becomes badly burnt, reaffirming their friendship.

Later, as Glimmer and Scorpia arrive in the Fright Zone to balance the planet. They are quickly caught by Lonnie, Rogelio, and Kyle. The three are fed up with Catra's unreasonable demands, and let them in without challenge, as they are themselves leaving the Horde. Later in season 5, Scorpia accidentally tells Swift Wind that Kyle has a crush on Rogelio, though it was meant to be a secret. They are last seen together living in the Crimson Waste, seemingly having adopted Imp.

Fanon
Repkyle is a popular ship for both Kyle and Rogelio. Many fans believed that they were already dating and wanted to see more canon moments between the two.

There was some confusion in the fandom about whether they were actually together during season 1. It later came to light that the storyboard artists would often draw them being physically close in the background, as well as leaving other easter eggs alluding to a relationship, however, the writers were not aware of it. This is why they seem very close in the first season but in later seasons when the Horde kids groups dynamic is actually explored they appear much more distant. Once the writers became aware of the ship they decided to make it canon in the final season as a callback to all the hints the storyboarders had added.
