Shinmaple

Shinmaple is the het ship between Shin Tsukimi and Maple from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Canon
In the first fight against Maple, when Maple starts crying, Shin remarks that it's a pain. After the group finds out that they need to become friends with Maple to calm her down, Kurumada exclaims that there's "[nothing] in the world more of a pain to deal with than a woman's heart". Shin agrees with him, recognizing that the task of befriending Maple could be difficult.

Maple offers Shin her handkerchief when she's happy, and when he finally accepts it, he's glad it's not a trap. Maple asserts that of course it isn't, and is happy he took it. If Shin gives the handkerchief back to Maple while she's crying, she thanks him. Shin just wants Maple to stop being annoying by crying so much. Maple thinks that though his words are cold, he's still kind, like Midori. Shin tells her not to associate the two of them. If Shin gives back the handkerchief while Maple is smiling, she's hurt that he's throwing away her present. If Shin gives back the handkerchief while Maple is angry, she just gets even more angry that he would trample on their friendship, and calls him "the worst". Shin doesn't understand how they could have had a friendship when they had just met.

At the beginning of the fight against the modified Maple, Shin explains that if they wear down her battery, she'll stop moving eventually. Shin can use "Persuasion" on Maple. If he uses it on the Sorrowful AI (Maple's AI) she will agree that he's right that she needs to stop attacking but she can't because of Midori. Shin doesn't respond, just has a pained expression. Using "Persuasion" a second time causes the Sorrowful AI to cry out that she can't do it, and Shin responds that it's true for the both of them.

Fanon
Shin and Maple are shipped together due to their common ground of a history with Midori. If not romantic, it is thought they could be good friends and use each other's support to get over Midori. While Maple is a good counselor to others, she ironically requires help to regulate her own emotions. Maple and Shin contrast each other in that both have strong emotions, but Maple tends to let them out destructively, while Shin keeps them to himself. Maple is generally portrayed as a friendly, positive person, while Shin is anti-social.
