Sayakaede

Sayakaede is the femslash ship between Sayaka Maizono and Kaede Akamatsu from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Sayaka and Kaede have never interacted in canon, but they did interact in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan, along with Ibuki Mioda while talking about starting a band. Sayaka agreed to sing while Kaede agreed to play the piano. They appear to be on friendly terms with each other too and are quite lenient on starting a group together.

Both girls are quite cheery and bright, complimenting each other. Both also shared the desire to end the killing game/escape, with Sayaka plotting the first murder and Kaede setting up a plan to kill the mastermind and save everyone. However both also failed, while Sayaka was killed instead and Kaede was framed by the mastermind and therefore executed.

Fanon
This ship is mainly due to the fact that both girls are the musical representatives of their respective games, with Sayaka being the Ultimate Pop Sensation, and Kaede being the Ultimate Pianist. Both share similar traits too, with a bright and optimistic personality, as well as similar hairstyles, consisting of bangs swept in a specific direction and hair clips. Both also wear outfits consisting of a skirt and a formal school-like top.

They also are the love interests of the protagonist in their games. However, due to them being from different games and Sayaka dying very early on in the series, it is easily overshadowed by more popular ships for both girls, such as Naezono or Leosaya for Sayaka, and Saimatsu or Irumatsu for Kaede.

Although, some fans prefer these two and Ibuki Mioda, due to her being the musical representative of her game, resulting in a polyship between the three girls.
