Jurato

Jurato is the het ship between Takato Matsuda and Juri Katou from the Digimon fandom.

Canon
Takato has a crush on Juri throughout the series. Juri always seems concerned when Takato is hurt. In episode 8, Juri tells Takato that no one thinks he is the one disturbing couples in the park. In episode 9, Takato tries to ask Juri for advice about what to do since Guilmon had evolved into Growmon but since she didn't know about Digimon yet he asked her about what to do about a partner/friend that had grown taller. She thinks he had a girlfriend that got taller and directs him to a love fortuneteller.

In episode 12, Juri overhears Takato telling two of his friends about having a real Digimon but they do not believe him. She later approaches Takato and asks to see the Digimon. Seeing how much she wanted to see it he takes her to Guilmon. At first Juri seems afraid and Takato says he was lying about the Digimon. But when she says Guilmon clearly she thinks he is cute.

When Beelzebumon slays Juri's partner Leomon, Takato is so enraged that he dark-evolved his Guilmon to Megidramon who goes into an uncontrollable rage trying to eat Beelzebumon. Beelzebumon eventually finds Megidramon's weak spot and narrowly defeats him. Worried for his partner Takato leans to Matrix Evolution with Guilmon into Dukemon. Dukemon is able to defeat Beelzebumon but at Juri's request he spares him.

The D-Reaper replaces Juri with a duplicate agent known as ADR-01 while the real Juri was imprisoned in the D-Reaper. Takato escorted ADR-01 home thinking it was Juri and said being with her was a bream come true and tried to confess his feelings for her but it showing no response made him think she was too depressed from Leomon being killed. He says that seeing her like that hurts him. After finding out about the deception Takato defeats the fake and goes to great lengths to rescue the real Juri.

Fanon
