Danganronpa ships. Please add as much content as you can to the ships. Should a ship meets the requirements for a page users are allowed to make one. Ship pages must have four five sentence paragraphs, or the equivalent, split between the canon and fanon sections with content in both sections. As well as at minimum one link in the fandom section. Refrain from adding images to ship sections, but you can add them once there is a page. If you're unsure if a ship meets the requirements for a page, discuss with a member of our admin team.

Band Practice
Band Practice is the ship between Hajime Hinata and Ibuki Mioda.

Canon
Ibuki and Hajime seem to be good friends, and they bond during club activities that Ibuki comes up with during her Free Time Events. Also during her Free Time Events, Ibuki has been trying to help Hajime remember his talent. She insists that it should've been obvious what she was trying to do, but Hajime claims that he didn't even realize it, and was touched that she was trying to help him.

Ibuki often pokes fun at Hajime, saying that he has developed a crush on her or that he is sometimes looking for an excuse to be alone with her. Ibuki also gave Hajime some advice that even when people are constantly changing, either physically or otherwise, that they are always going to be their true selves and she made Hajime promise her that he will never give up on trying to find out his true self. In Hajime's official relationship chart, Ibuki states she wants him to be the drummer in her band and insists that the two are in a band, even teaching him lessons. However, according to Hajime, she only taught him how to use a loudspeaker. Hajime also said that, "When I was with her, all of my pain and suffering just seemed to melt away," referring to Ibuki.

Fanon
The ship sailed due Hajime's and Ibuki's friendly interactions with each other, Ibuki being implied to be romantic interested in Hajime in her Free Time Events and Island Mode helped. Many Artworks feature both Ibuki and Hajime playing Music together, the idea mostly comes from Ibuki wanting Hajime as her drummer, which she states in her Official relationship Chart. In fanfictions Ibuki often helps Hajime remembering his talent, and in the time she helps him, Hajime and Ibuki fall in love with each other. Otherwise the ship also sailed because of the trope, which the ship falls perfectly into.

The ship isn't very popular because of the fact that there are other popular ships were this one gets overshadowed by, like Band Aid, Komahina, and Hinanami. Many people either see it as a friendship rather than as a romantic pairing. However, it still does have a small amount of supporters.

Celedham
Celehdam is the ship between Celentia Ludenberg and Gundham Tanaka

Canon
Celeste and Gundham didn't met, but they have some things in common, like they were killers and pretent to be "fictional characters"

Fanon
Celedham is a rarepair due the fact that they never meet, but some people like to ship them because of their similarities.

Celeszuru
Celeszuru is the ship between Celestia Ludenberg and Izuru Kamukura

Canon
Celeste and Izuru never met

Fanon
Celeszuru is a huge rarepair.

Chabataka
Chabataka is the ship between Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Tenko Chabashira.

Canon
Due to the fact that they are in different games, there are essentially zero interactions between them. However, they do have one interaction in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan bonus mode. In it, Tenko keeps watch at the school festival's entrance, and encounters Kiyotaka. Tenko confronts him about having ulterior motives, which Kiyotaka denies, citing his membership of the public morals committee. Tenko begins to get flustered, and states that she believes he doesn't have any poor motives, but also refuses to accept him because he is male. Kiyotaka breaks down and cries about how it is impossible for him to change that. When Tenko suggests he work to become a girl instead, Kiyotaka breaks down even further.

Both characters have very strict moral codes imposed on them from someone they look up to. For Kiyotaka, it is his motivation to restore his family's name after his grandfather's scandal, sacrificing hobbies in his pursuit of redemption. Tenko meanwhile has no such tragedy, instead taking her aikido master's joke about hating men too seriously, and building her life around it. Even though Tenko is very much a misandrist at surface level, she is willing to accept men as good people, as shown with how she treats Shuichi Saihara in game. She promotes expressionism, which parallels Kiyotaka's belief in effort.

Fanon
Admittedly, due to several factors, such as Tenko's distrust in men, and the fact that they are in different games, this is not widely shipped. This ship is controversial due to both characters being commonly read as "gay-coded", with two other ships, Ishimondo and Tenmiko, remaining much more popular. People who do ship this believe that Kiyotaka's rule-abiding nature could shift Tenko's misandristic view of men, and possibly allow them to become good friends or more.

Chibuki
Chibuki is the ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Ibuki Mioda

Canon
Chihiro and Ibuki never met. The only thing that they have in common is that both were victims. They are very opposite because Chihiro is very quiet and shy while Ibuki is very lousy and outgoing.

Fanon
Chibuki is a huge rarepair, overshadowed by their respective ships with Mondo and Mikan

Chihina
Chihina is the ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Aoi Asahina.

Canon
Chihiro is first seen by Makoto when he entered the main hall. When attempting to ask if they're all new students, Chihiro agreed. Aoi Asahina suggested they all introduce themselves, and when Chihiro did so, he admitted he found it embarrassing. Chihiro seemed to recognize Makoto and asked if they had met before, but Makoto denied it. Chihiro apologized because he assumed Makoto was upset with him, but Makoto reassured him that he wasn't.In order to become stronger, Chihiro said he would start working out. Sakura Ogami and Aoi asked him to go to the gym room to work out together. However, Chihiro declined their invitation in fear of having his secret revealed. He also brought the broken laptop that the group found in the library with him.After the deaths of Chihiro and Mondo, Aoi's mental health began to decline, crying alone in her room and falling into a depression. She decided to go to the Cafeteria in search of donuts to soothe herself, but on the way there she heard strange sounds coming from the changing room near the bathhouse. Cautiously investigating the noise, she approached one of the changing room lockers, where she saw a ghostly green image of what appeared to be the recently deceased Chihiro. In fear, she screamed and fled back to her room.

Chizo
Chizo is the ship between Chisa Yukizome and Juzo Sakakura

Canon
Juzo and Chisa are best friends alon with Kyosuke Munakata, both of them are in love with him

Fanon
Some people liked to ship Chisa and Juzo as het due the fact that they are friends and their opposite personalities, but when it was revealed that Juzo is gay, many people abandoned the romantic ship and started shipping them as friends.

Variations

 * Class 74th refers to the ship between the two and Kyosuke Munakata

Chizono
Chizono is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Sayaka Maizono.

Canon
The two never interact with one another, due to their early deaths. Sayaka was murdered in Chapter 1 while Chihiro was murdered in the following Chapter. One similarity the two share is both being the earliest victims in the killing game. The two share the same English voice actor, Dorothy Elias-Fahn. However, in trial 1 Chihiro was very upset after Sayaka's death, as a result, you could not participate in free time events with Chihiro the day after Sayaka's trial.

They are seen seated near one another in Danganronpa: The Animation. When Chihiro began crying after believing no one would make out of the school alive, Sayaka seemed to be upset and worried for Chihiro. After Sayaka's body was found and Leon Kuwata was executed for her death, Chihiro is again seen crying on the floor because of both their deaths, and upset from the despair around him. After Sayaka's trial, Chihiro got into an argument with Byakuya because Chihiro was upset that Byakuya didn't see any problem with Sayaka's death. Additionally, he was too depressed to speak to anyone a few days after that event.

In Sayaka's relationship chart, Chihiro said "Woah, she's just like on television,". While in Chihiro's chart, Sayaka states that she's jealous of Chihiro's petite build. In one of the seasonal events in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan, after Monokuma launched the 1,000 balls, they appear worried for each other and try to escape together. They do not mention what they were planning to do after escaping. This could've implied a romantic relationship.

Fanon
The pair is largely unknown to fans due to both having no interactions, being killed off early on, and because fans do not pay a lot of attention to both characters, mainly Sayaka, since she's one of the most hated characters in the first game. They are overshadowed by both character's more popular ships, Leosaya and Naezono for Sayaka and Chimondo for Chihiro. There is little fan art of the two together, although, there are a few pages on Danganronpa Amino dedicated to the pair, where people enjoy art of the two and make headcanons. The ship is so small that there is less than 50 works currently on AO3 depicting the ship.

Princess Pop
Princess Pop is the ship between Sayaka Maizono and Sonia Nevermind.

Canon
They have never canonly met. However, there is a lot of canon art of both Sonia and Sayaka together.

Sayaka has a cheerful, sweet, lighthearted, and supporting personality, expressing a kind demeanor and pleasant disposition. Sonia is a cheerful and polite girl with a great interest in Japanese culture. Her very polite personality is well-demonstrated by the way she is shown to be kind and polite even towards Monomi and Nagito Komaeda, despite not really liking neither of them. Both of them have similar personalities that complement each other's.

Fanon
This ship has sailed due to how much their personalities complement each other's as well as their talents. Sonia is the ultimate princess and Sayaka is the ultimate idol. Both of these talents gain a significant amount of popularity.

It is imaginable that Sonia and Sayaka would cheer each other up during tough times. They would both relate to having large expectations and concerns of what others think about them.

However, this ship is overlooked, and even called a crack pair. Sayaka is more commonly shipped with Kyoko Kirigiri, Leon Kuwata, Makoto Naegi and Mukuro Ikusaba. Sonia is more commonly shipped with Gundham Tanaka and Chiaki Nanami.

Seesaw Effect
Seesaw Effect is the cargoship between Korekiyo Shinguji and a seesaw from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Korekiyo used a "seesaw effect" by jumping on a loose floorboard in order to impale a hidden under-a-cage Tenko Chabashira on a sickle. He did so despite having already killed Angie Yonaga whose murder lacked enough evidence to point to the culprit. As a result, the term "seesaw effect" was brought up numerous times during the third Class Trial.

Fanon
Because Korekiyo insisted on using the seesaw trick, people have started making so many memes about it, the natural outcome was for people to jokingly ship him with seesaws. The memes and joke ship were fueled by the fact that he got greedy for another kill (due to his goal of making 100 friends for his Sister), even though he would have been uncaught due to lack of proper final evidence had he stopped at his first murder. The fans jokingly say that he got greedy for another kill because he didn't want the trick that he prepared go to waste as well as because of his love for seesaws.

The memes are also spread through some YouTubers' gameplays, with possibly the most famous one being NicoB who is known for his funny playthroughs and even is responsible for creating some Danganronpa memes. The ship may also serve as a sort of coping mechanism for a rather dark and villainous third case of Danganronpa V3.

The memes tend to mock Korekiyo for still going with the seesaw trick and killing Tenko, which made him way more suspicious, instead of stopping at killing Angie, in which case there wouldn't be enough evidence to point him as her killer. Meanwhile, fan fictions tend to explain his irrationality with a childish love for seesaws. Some even take the love much further, making him sexually attracted to seesaws.

Due to its silly yet endearing nature, his "love" for seesaws is generally considered one of the best fanon aspects of Korekiyo's character. This can be especially the case for those who want to make up for his darker or more unsympathetic qualities. This often leads to the creation of humorous videos on YouTube, among other forms of memes.

It remains as one of the most recognized memes from its parent game, as well as one of the most popular memes in Danganronpa's fandom in general. However, in spite of its popularity, genuinely shipping Korekiyo with a seesaw is rare, as per all the other cargoships in the series. As such, it loses in popularity to plenty of Korekiyo's other ships, especially such major ones as Shinnaga. Nonetheless, it's still preferred over Kiyo's canon incest relationship with his Sister.
