Soudam

Soudam is the slash ship between Gundham Tanaka and Kazuichi Souda from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Gundham and Kazuichi end up locked in a form of rivalry with each other over Sonia, due to Sonia preferring to be around Gundham, while Kazuichi has a strong liking for Sonia. Although the feeling of rivalry was mostly one sided (from Kazuichi) at first, they end up arguing in Chapter 3's Class Trial, both throwing around childish insults and threatening to kill each other. Otherwise, in Gundham's eyes, Kazuichi is at the Pathetic Mortal level and he does not pay him much attention.

However, they also share some more friendly interactions. In Chapter 2 of Danganronpa 2, when Gundham overhears that Kazuichi is planning to go to the girls' beach party with Hajime Hinata, he wants to join, although he's rejected. After that decision, he acts in a quite tsundere way, saying he prefers loneliness anyway.

In Danganronpa 3 - Despair Arc, the two of them seemingly have become friends as Kazuichi often attempts to play with Gundham's hamsters and he believed that the Ultimate Breeder is a man who can get things done when he needs to.

They also have two events in Danganronpa V3's bonus mode, Ultimate Talent Development Plan, one of which they share with Sonia. In one of them, Kazuichi convinces Gundham to join the class's New Year's Eve party (and Hajime's birthday). In the second, the two meet during the school festival. Both visit Sonia's shop. Like in Despair Arc, Kazuichi is terrified to see Gundham and Sonia talk perfectly in sync with each other.

Fanon
The ship has sailed from the fact that the two were the love rivals in a love triangle with Sonia. Some fans prefer them together instead of them with Sonia respectively.

They appear on a lot of promo pictures together, although there's often at least one more male character (or Sonia) present as well. It is the second most written ship for Gundham on Archive of Our Own.
