Ryosaranzugie

Ryosaranzugie is the poly ship between Anzu Kinashi, Kugie Kizuchi, Ryoko Hirose, and Sara Chidouin from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Canon
All four of them are in high school. The only one that has met more than one of the girls is Sara, having Ryoko as her best friend and meeting Anzu in the Death Game. None of them have ever met Kugie, however. The four girls don't all know each other, but there are still similarities between them.

It is mainly centered around Sara, who is the only one who knows more than one person in the relationship. Even though Sara has never met Kugie, she has heard a lot about her from Kanna Kizuchi, Kugie's sister. Kanna also mistakenly called Sara "sister" at times, indicating that Kugie and Sara had very, similar personalities. They both have similar postures if you put their sprites side by side, as well. Kugie is implied to be a year younger than Sara (a first year) since Kugie and Kanna used to go to middle school at the same time. Sara was essentially a "substitute sister" for Kanna after Kugie didn't pass the first trial.

Sara was also allies with Anzu during Chapter 3, Part 1. The two are also similar not appearance or personality wise, but during the first Maple fight, If Anzu is still alive by the time it happens, Anzu is the one to reconcile with Maple and stop the fight. However, if she isn't, Sara is the one to make up with Maple instead. As for Ryoko, Sara and her are best friends. Ryoko wasn't involved in the kidnapping, so little is known about her. Luckily, we do know that the two became best friends in middle school, and that continued into them attending Sonobeno High School. Sara's familar with almost all of the others, regardless of having not met them.

Kugie and Anzu also appear to live somewhat close to eachother. Revealed in the minisodes, Anzu and her friend are walking to go get ice cream however the store's all out because Kugie bought everything, determined to eat every last drop of it. This is also what brings traction to Anzu and Kugie's relationship. While they don't go to the same school, based on the uniform differences, (Anzu's uniform being yellow and Kugie's being green.) They're styled similarly so one could assume they're in the same school districts or go to neighboring schools.

Fanon
One reason Ryosaranzugie is shipped is purely because all the characters involved are the high school girls of the YTTD cast. However, it is not as popular as other poly ships due to Ryoko's lack of recognition as a character in the game and Kugie's lack of connection to the rest of the group. As a result, it is considered a rarepair with not much of a fanbase. Interestingly, the group is sometimes split into two ships, frequently Anzugie and Ryosara, depending on the fans' preferences.

It is worth noting that most of the time, the ship is portrayed as part of a larger friend group that includes Joe Tazuna and Ranmaru Kageyama. A lot of these works are ship works that aren't exactly the four, but more likely different ships. For just the four, at least one of them is still relevant, if not in the friend group. For example, Ryoko and Joe are dating, making Ryojoe canon, so the relationship between Sara, Ryoko, Anzu, and Kugie is commonly considered a friendship. In Nankidai's series of "Kimigashine Academy" AU sketches, Sara, Ryoko, and Anzu are shown to all be friends. While Kugie is never shown, it is often assumed that she is friends with them as well.
