Yukichu

Yukichu is the femslash ship between Yukina Minato and Chiyu Tamade from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Yukina and CHU² (real name Chiyu Tamade) are both the leaders of their respective bands, Roselia and RAISE A SUILEN. While Yukina is Roselia's main vocalist, CHU² is RAS' secondary vocalist.

Anime
Their first interactions happenes in BanG Dream! 2nd Season, where CHU² attemptes to scout Yukina and her band. She tells her she can help them go beyond their limits, however Yukina turns down her offer and despite CHU²'s insistence, bluntly states they don't need any scouts to reach their goals. Yukina leaves from the scene and CHU² is left fuming and feeling insulted. She then knocks over a trash can and swears she'll crush Roselia, before cleaning her mess up. After Tae misses out on the school festival due to CHU² forcing her to play many encore songs, Yukina is the first one to deduce out that it was CHU²'s fault that Poppin'Party couldn't play in the end.

In BanG Dream! 3rd Season, after RAISE A SUILEN beats Roselia in a two-man battle, CHU² decides to taunt Yukina and her band members by making the audience chant RAS' name.

Little Rose Harmony
While Yukina doesn't directly appear in the event story, she is mentioned and is also the catalyst of CHU²'s actions in Chapter 2. Ako explains how Roselia conducts their after-rehearsal and performance meetings, she mentions they always order the "Supersized Stress Set" at the family restaurant whenever something frustrating happens. Ako tells it's a meal set composed of "two Hamburg steaks, deep-fried shrimp, sautéed chicken, a large serving of rice, and dessert" and upon saying everyone in Roselia has managed to eat it, CHU² orders LOCK to get a waitress so CHU² can order one of them, because "if Yukina Minato was able to eat it all, then I can too." Some time passes and CHU², already suffering, orders LOCK to get her some water as she's trying to force herself to eat the meal. She barely manages to eat anything more than one of the Hamburg steaks and the shrimp, before claiming she's just not in her best condition at the moment, and telling others to suit themselves after offering to help her out.

Feel × Heat × Beat!
Similarly to "Little Rose Harmony", Yukina doesn't appear in the event. In Chapter 3, upon hearing that Yukina and everyone else in Roselia enjoyed riding the highest and biggest water slide in Toconut Park, CHU² gets serious and tells the others to hurry up so they can line up for it.

Card Stories
In CHU²'s Kirameki Festival card's special episode, which expands on the short animated card, CHU² strolls around Edogawa Music. She first compliments the poster they had put up about new products and then decides to head out to that section. She bumps into Yukina, who says she recognized CHU²'s voice. CHU² becomes flustered and asks why Yukina is also there. Yukina tells CHU² she is looking for new headphones. CHU² asks if Yukina wasn't there to check the new products, and then says "Of course!" when Yukina asks her the same. CHU² rambles how excited she is about looking at the certain creator's products and Yukina states she understands once again why RAISE A SUILEN's music sounds so passionate - thanks to CHU²'s own passion and drive. They talk about their own bands, with CHU² giving Yukina advice, and Yukina telling her to "not later regret saying it all, in case Roselia manages to overcome RAS". CHU² stubbornly leaves to the new products area and looks at a shelf that is too high for her. After using a stool, she tries reaching out too far and starts falling. Yukina manages to catch her in time and smiles, before telling CHU² to be more careful next time. CHU² thanks her bashfully, and Yukina asks her if she found anything good on the shelves. They keep talking more about their bands and music before Yukina reminds her to be more careful, leading to CHU² embarrassedly telling her to shut it.

Fanon
Yukichu is one of the bigger rarepairs within the series, mainly rivaled by Yukilisa and Parechu. It is not very liked due to their initial status as enemies and because of their 3 year age gap. As such it is more preferred as a friendship, although some like to imply, despite Parechu's semi-canon status, that CHU² has a secret crush on Yukina due to how fixated she is on her, especially because the scenario in CHU²'s Kirameki Festival card played out like something out of a shoujo manga.
