Newmann

Newmann is the slash ship between Newton Gottlieb and Hermann Geiszler from the Pacific Rim fandom.

Pacific Rim
Hermannn and Newton accompany Marshal Stacker Pentecost, Mako Mori and Raleigh in the elevator down to the lower levels. Pentecost introduces the research team to Raleigh, and Newt tells Hermann to say hi to actual human beings. Hermann tells Newt not to call him by his first name, and Newt starts mimicking his usual speech of why he doesn't like it. When Newton rolls his sleeves up, Raleigh notices he has a tattoo of Yamarashi. Newton enthusiastically describes admiration for the Kaiju's strength and his desire to see one up close as Hermannn dismisses him as a "Kaiju groupie".

Pentecost and Hercules Hansen are present in Hermannn and Newtons shared lab space while Hermannn is explaining his predictions on the breach. Newton, working on a dissection of a Kaiju, interrupts and throws the part of Kaiju he had been holding towards a table and misses causing it to fall onto the floor. Tape splitting the room into two halves can be seen when Hermannn angrily kicks the Kaiju parts over the line telling him, "no Kaiju entrails over my side of the room, you know the rules. every bloody day is incessant." Hermann continues to talk to Pentecost and Hansen while Newt is seen in the background mocking him. Newt then presents his theory on possibly drifting with a Kaiju brain, but Pentecost doesn't want to hear it. As they leave Hermann knows that Newt is desperate to be right because otherwise it means that he wasted his life being a Kaiju Groupie. Newt insists that it would work, and Hermann says that he heard Pentecost. They won't give him the equipment, and if they did, he would probably kill himself in the process. Newt says that he'd be a rock star.

Hermann enters the lab and finds Newt after he made a makeshift drift simulator, and drifted with a Kaiju brain. He's shaking and out cold, and Hermann rushes to to him and turns it off. He finds Pentecost and informs him of what Newt did. They head back to the lab where Newt is still shaking and dazed, Hermann saying he wasn't sure what to do. Newt says "I told you so", and Pentecost asks what he saw. Newt thinks that the Kaiju are under orders to attack humans, but Hermann says that's impossible. They start to bicker but Pentecost puts an end to it and asks Newt for more.

Uprising
Newt arrives at the PPCD as a member of Shao Corporations. Hermann runs up to him and asks for his assistance in one of the experiments he's working on. They arrive at his lab, where Hermann starts to explain what he needs help on. He believes he found a solution to get the Jaegar's to Kaiju faster. Newt looks over the notes and tells him that there isn't a fuel source good enough. Hermann believes that they could use Kaiju blood. Newt tells him it's a bad idea, and irrelevant given that the drones will likely be taking over. Hermann asks if Newt is going to help him. Newt says they could talk it over dinner at his place, but Hermann needs a solution and nothing more. Newt gets a call on his watch and tells him it was nice catching up. As he leaves Hermann stops and tells him he still has nightmare's from what they saw in the Kaiju brain. Newt does as well, but it was worth the rush.

Shao asks what Newt's relationship with Hermann is and he tells her that they used to share a lab together. She doesn't want him speaking to him anymore, and Newt tries to defend that Hermann is harmless and they barely see each other to begin with.

Behind the Scenes
Both actors of the characters, Charlie Day and Burn Gorman, have spoken out on interviews as knowing about the ship and approving of it. They even went on further to say that they played their scenes as if the characters had feelings for each other.

"People have been shipping it but i think they are totally right, it completely informs the character... [] It's the better way to take the character."

- Charlie Day

Fanon
The pairing quickly dominated the fandom. Many drawn to the two sharing most of their screen time together. Rarely interacting with others.

On AO3 it is the most written ship for both characters. As well as the most written ship in the Pacific Rim tag.
