✰ ABOUT ME
Hello! Sup? I’m Nagi. I’ve been using Shipping Wiki since 2020, and started editing on it in November/December 2022. I’ve been unconsciously shipping things since I was 6 without knowing what Shipping was - my first ship was Jelsa. The first ship I consciously shipped was MariChat, and later, Natsuri, Kacchako and Jopper.

I help most often pages of the Danganronpa and Genshin Impact ships, since they are my two main fandoms, and I edit what I think needs to be edited. I’m mostly a gallery creator, but I can help writing pages as well. The biggest galleries I’ve created at the moment are Oumatsu’s, SaiOuma’ s, and SaiMatsu’s. You can see my fandoms on my infobox, but I’m mostly into Danganronpa V3 and Genshin Impact at the moment, so if you need my help for a page or/and a gallery, just lemme know :]

Just wanted to add that people here are really nice and interesting, and that I love seeing different opinions and interpretations for ships, Shipping Wiki is such an interesting place to be <3 If we’ve chatted before, I probably consider you as a cool person. I’m very friendly, feel free to drop by if you wanna talk.

I’d say my userpage is endlessly long because I use it to note everything about my personal experience with shipping, and because I have a lot to say, lol.

 * Akamatsu/Ouma:

"How long are you guys gonna keep saying that? This game is about killing other people easily. Even people we believed in can do it. We’ve seen that many times before, haven’t we? ...Since Akamatsu-chan...many times."

- Kokichi Ouma, Chapter 4.

I love how the Oumatsu nation was completely dead, but somehow managed to reborn from the ashes recently. Someone once called me ’the Oumatsu CEO’, and since then I’ve never let go of that title, because in a sense clearing as much misconceptions about Oumatsu as possible could be my job at this point lol. It all started with Ouma and Akamatsu being my two favorite characters from New Danganronpa V3, so I wondered if, by any chance, a ship between the two would exist. I checked their wiki and was particularly interested after noticing that, indeed, some people were shipping them. But since Oumatsu was a rarepair in 2021 (and with the toxicity of the Danganronpa fandom back then), I gave up the idea of shipping them for a while, especially as I was a huge Saimatsu shipper. Ouma was my favorite character, so I wanted to ship him with someone but whether it was Oumeno, Oumota or even Saiouma, I didn’t like any of Ouma’s ships, and remained neutral on Oumatsu. After thinking about Oumatsu for a while, and acknowledging that it made sense, I started to ship Saioumatsu, not wanting to let go of Saimatsu. That’s how, instead of shipping either Akamatsu with Saihara or Ouma with Akamatsu, a SaiOuma disliker ended up shipping all three together. During this time, what fascinated me most about Oumatsu was the way in which, even with only one chapter with as few interactions, I could still discover new things about the ship thanks to the way the elements are linked together; Everybody knows about the respect Ouma showed to Akamatsu before her execution, “You definitely weren’t boring”. Everyone knows the way Ouma told Akamatsu to join the most important people in his life, his organization; “Let’s sit on top of the world and look down on everyone else.”, and, even though I think it’s incredibly cute, I quickly noticed that nobody never tried to focus on “why” instead of just shipping them for their dynamic. Why does Ouma tries to team up with and protect Akamatsu, considering his trust issues? Because he likes her? Okay, but why does he likes her? I mean, c’mon Ouma, me too, but where does this interest come from??

“You’re an Oumatsu shipper, you must have wanted Akamatsu to survive, right?” No, I don’t. If Akamatsu had stayed the protagonist, Ouma wouldn’t have gotten his character development (as well as Saihara and Momota), and his character development gave us so much iconic moments and made Ouma an amazingly written character. Sure, I would have preferred Akamatsu as the protagonist because she was a unique potential, but she ultimately caused the character devs of really important characters, including Ouma. On the other hand, I think Akamatsu was a waste of potential because they used her to teach Saihara the “Truth” side of Danganronpa V3 instead of giving her real character development. She only showed signs of character development a few times: when Ouma was questioning her ideology. Ouma had a character development because of Akamatsu’s death, and the closest hints of character development Akamatsu showed came thanks to Ouma, meaning that, if they can both trigger a change in each other, they obviously need each other. The wasted potential here is that, if Akamatsu had been the protag, she would have had an original character dev.

Oumatsu is a ship that requires an understanding of both Akamatsu’s perspective about Ouma and Ouma’s perspective about Akamatsu in order to be fully understood. At first glance, Oumatsu doesn’t make much sense if you don’t properly understand the characters of Ouma and Akamatsu and what they need in a relationship. But the more you understand the ship, the more you realize how important their relationship is to the game, how much Ouma cared for Akamatsu and why, what he did for her, what could have happened if she’d listened to Ouma, how Akamatsu understood Ouma from the start... The fact that everything is pretty fuzzy about their relationship and based most of hinted stuff makes the ship even more interesting to me. I love Oumatsu because it’s not an explicit ship. Everything I discovered about Oumatsu, I discovered it myself, without the game or the fandom throwing their relationship in my face and making it explicit; their relationship is based on details linked together you can find here and there, it’s not an entire explicit character arc. It’s not obviously stated by the game like SaiMatsu or HaruMota. If you want to understand them, you have to search for yourself and dig deep, making Oumatsu similar to KomaHina in a sense. Oumatsu is everything I look for in a ship. They’re not too explicit so they’re not too boring, they have incredible chemistry so they’re entertaining, they’re extremely tragic, and they have incredible, well-thought-out writing. For me, Oumatsu was a ship nobody ever really explored, so I did, and I don’t regret it because even now, 2 years later, I’m still not bored of them. Their relationship is so well-written, I really hate it when people says that Oumatsu is just a “rarepair/random characters ship” or just a steal your girlfriend meme/crackship, because it isn’t that. The main theme of the game, Truth VS Lies, comes from their ideology and what they teach to Saihara.

And meanwhile they’re a really tragic duo, they can be entertaining as well as funny. They’re so unique that they can be everything you want with their dynamic. Romantic Oumatsu? beautiful. Platonic Oumatsu? entertaining as hell. BROTP Oumatsu? tell me more. Their relationship is better written than some popular NDRV3 ships, it’s a shame they aren’t as popular as they deserve. I hate that they’re penalized because they’re a straight ship, because these two mfs are the most fruity duaric duo ever.

 “Why not Saihara/Ouma or Akamatsu/Saihara?” The reason I’d choose Oumatsu over more popular ships like SaiOuma or SaiMatsu isn’t just because I like rarepairs (I don’t even like them that much), but because they have genuinely better writing. I have nothing against SaiOuma or SaiMatsu, I find them rather cute, but I just can’t get interested in them knowing that a one-chapter relationship with almost no content has a better structure; Saihara and Akamatsu have a good dynamic and, let’s say it, a fair amount of lore. Even I as an Oumatsu shipper can recognize that they would have been canon in a non-killing game AU. The reason why I can’t like their ship is because, while Akamatsu helped Saihara with his “flaws” (self-confidence, fear of revealing the truth), Saihara didn’t return the favor; Akamatsu left him her will and asked him to take care of her wish, but Saihara never did anything to put an end to the killing game post-Chapter 1, which was the only thing he had to focus on. Sure, he revealed the Truth at every class trial, but those wouldn’t have happened if Saihara had ended the killing game earlier. Saihara didn’t take care of Akamatsu’s trust in them by sacrificing herself for the group, but someone did; Ouma. And he’s the only one to have worked to put an end to the killing game and make Akamatsu’s wish come true. SaiMatsu is incomplete in the sense that, in order for Saihara to understand the Truth VS Lies theme, he HAS to perceive Akamatsu as the absolute truth: the hero that everyone must follow because she’s “a good person”, making Saihara ignore Akamatsu’s flaws. For Saihara, Akamatsu’s unselfishness and altruism are among her best qualities, and are things (as shown in the game) Saihara ignores its toxicity. Saihara encourages Akamatsu to keep pushing everyone and encouraging them in her own way, not knowing how toxic this can be for other people. It’s as if Saihara ignores/isn’t aware of Akamatsu’s flaws, and that’s not healthy in a relationship to perceive your partner as “perfect and flawless.” Once again, the only person who dares to open Akamatsu’s eyes to her actions in the killing game is Ouma. He constantly tries to make her understand that she’s doing the opposite of what she wants to do, that it’s more likely that she’s hurting people by forcing them to have the same common sense as her instead of helping them. Ouma acknowledges that Akamatsu isn’t perfect because of her ideology that is a big flaw, and tries to help her with that, for everyone’s sake, but also for her own. Isn’t it better to love someone knowing their flaws than to push them to use them? Ouma and Saihara are different in that way. That’s why I’d choose Oumatsu over SaiMatsu. And it hurts to say that from a former huge SaiMatsu shipper.

As for SaiOuma, the reasons are completely different. They have a great mutual understanding, a great dynamic, a canonical confession and their Salmon Team was the best one so far. The thing I have a problem with is their lore; As much as I like the structure of their relationship, SaiOuma is a baseless ship. If you pay enough attention, you may notice that, in Chapter 1, Ouma doesn’t seem to care about Saihara, talking to him only briefly when Akamatsu is around and paying him no attention. At one point during the first trial, Ouma accused Saihara of being Amami’s killer, showing that he has no trust in him, even though he never questioned Akamatsu’s words during the trial. The first two things Ouma says to Saihara when the latter becomes the protagonist are both Akamatsu-related. Then, suddenly in Chapter 2 (which is the chapter Ouma started to have a character dev), Ouma becomes attached to Saihara and begins to trust him and care about his well-being. For no reason at all. Even though Ouma has gradually come to trust Saihara (even if his reasons are still debatable), I find it odd to love his partner because he’s the last thing the former crush left behind. If Ouma had a healthy basis to justify his sudden interest in Saihara, such as genuine curiosity, then yes, but this isn’t the case. Ouma spent Chapter 1 showing his interest in Akamatsu and Kiibo, so if he was also interested in Saihara all along, he would have shown it at least once. Then comes the famous scene: “suki ni natta hitto.” This scene was rushed and meaningless, let me explain. SaiOu fans often use the argument that “Ouma confesses canonically in the main story, through unskippable dialogue”, but I think that what makes SaiOuma’s lore rushed; he confesses in the main story, where Saihara never really did anything for Ouma. He never showed strong interest, and they weren’t particularly good friends like they were in the Free Time Events. The fact that Ouma confesses his love for Saihara in a scene that can happen without the Free Time Eventsーwhere SaiOuma really developed as a ship is what makes the ship undeveloped and meaningless. It would have been more realistic for Ouma to confess in the FTEs, or not to confess at all, because the fact that Ouma can fall in love with Saihara even when he hasn’t done much for him, isn’t realistic for a character (with trust issues) like Ouma. That’s why Saihara/Ouma emerged as a good ship in the Salmon Team; where they both get to understand each other and fall in love properly without that rushed confession scene. To me, it’s like Spike Chunsoft just wanted to add a “KomaHina effect”, but started with Ouma/Akamatsu and ended with Ouma/Saihara, leaving both ships incomplete. SaiOuma lacks a start and Oumatsu lacks an end. Now, I acknowledge that SaiOuma’s dynamic/relationship is entertaining and more developed in the Salmon Team, where it’s at its peak. The big difference between Oumatsu and SaiOuma is that SaiOuma’s relationship is centered on Saihara trying to figure out Ouma, whereas Ouma has Saihara right where he wants him, making him think about him, etc, without Saihara knowing it yet. Oumatsu’s relationship is centered on both trying to balance each other’s parallels, because Akamatsu understood, from the start, the thing that took Saihara 5 Free Time Events to figure out about Ouma all along; he lives for the attention he can get from people. Akamatsu’s inner dialogues about Ouma show that she’s always known, ever since she met him, that he was just looking for attention and that his lies were part of his personality. Yet Akamatsu never ignored Ouma, which always gave him the attention and reaction he hoped to get from Akamatsu. When she’s really annoyed by him, she always leaves him, but she doesn’t do it often, which means she doesn’t often find him annoying. Dangan fandom often says that Oumatsu was an underdeveloped version of SaiOuma, but I think they’re both an underdeveloped version of each other, given that SaiOuma’s dynamic revolves around something Akamatsu has understood about Ouma from the beginning because that’s the kind of person she is, and on the other hand, unlike Saihara, Akamatsu doesn’t fully understand Ouma’s reasons for lying other than “getting attention”. But of course, comparing a Bonus Dating Simulator with 5 Free Time Events + Events to a one-chapter relationship isn’t fair.

"Is Ouma-kun going to be okay? Maybe I should stay by his side..."

- Kaede Akamatsu; Chapter 1.


 * ❥ Amasai ♡
 * Saihara/Amami:

"Amami-kun dazzled me with his smile. This wasn’t his usual smile, the one he puts on to separate himself from others. This was a genuine smile. In that way... I saw Amami-kun smile for the first time."

- Shuichi Saihara about Amami’s smile.

I’m generally not fond of ships that only take shape in Non-Canon Bonus Modes like Dangan Salmon Team or Danganronpa S, because most of the time it’s really just fanservice given that the writers can allow themselves anything and everything, because, obviously, it won’t affect the main game. Look at Chabashira’s Salmon Team forcing a coded lesbian to seem to have a crush on men, or Harukawa’s Salmon Team/FTES that forces you to see how good and perfect her character is. /s That’s why I’m not fond of Salmon Team either, since this alternative universe feels very forced for the characters and their relationships; they’re aware that they’re in a fictional world watched by viewers, and must find a partner if they want to leave the Academy. Of course, as in Trigger Happy Havoc and Super Danganronpa 2, it’s mostly an excuse for the player to complete each character’s Free Time Events, etc. The problem in Dangan Salmon Team is that the protagonist is Saihara, and because he wasn’t in Chapter 1, he couldn’t have Free Time Events with Akamatsu and Amami. The fact that you can access their Free Time Events in a Non-Canonical fanservice Bonus Mode means that their Free Time Events were written specifically so you could have Free Time Events to complete in these bonus modes, meaning they were also written for fanservice in the first place. Look at Akamatsu’s FTEs with Saihara in Salmon Team; they were purely written for fanservice. They added a shoujo effect to their FTEs because the whole bonus mode is a dating simulator, which makes their relationship forced, as they both bonded only because they were in a dating simulator. If Akamatsu’s FTEs were written for fanservice because they couldn’t happen in the main story anyway, it’s only logical that the same should apply to Amami’s. But guess what, the reason I like AmaSai/SaiMami is specifically because Amami’s FTEs weren’t forced or full of fanservice. Somehow, they survived the “non-canon dating simulator” effect, and that’s the reason I like them. Playing their FTEs, I felt AmaSai growing on me although I’d never heard of any relationship between the two before, because I don’t like ships with no interactions or logic that much. Yet, I love SaiMami because it’s the only ship that was well-written in a dating simulator AU.

At first, Amami was aloof with Saihara as with everyone else, and above all didn’t seem interested in the fictional dating simulator itself, being more concerned by the fact that he had this feeling of being “the odd one out” in the group, being the only one with no memory of his own Ultimate Talent, and even believing he didn’t have any at all. Amami’s concerns were what made Saihara worry about him; the reason Saihara got interested in Amami wasn’t specifically because they were in a dating simulator, but because Amami felt excluded in that same dating simulator. Ironically, their relationship is realistic in the only piece of canon material where they’re aware that they’re in a fictional universe. It’s realistic in the sense that their interactions happen gradually with growing mutual trust, especially as Amami felt like the only no-talent in the dating simulator, feeling out of place because of his amnesia, which probably led him to believe that he should be the only one worrying about himself (given his low self-esteem after what happened to his sisters). Amami’s first FTEs are those in which he gradually accepts that Saihara, whom he doesn’t particularly trust, worries about him. Amami’s confidence issues are probably due to his introverted nature and low self-esteem, which causes him to push everyone away, even Saihara, with a non-genuine smile. The more Amami’s FTEs progress, the more Saihara makes it clear that he can see Amami is uncomfortable with himself with his “fake smile.” But before Amami trusted Saihara, which took him a long time, it happened because Saihara didn’t ignore Amami’s problems as Amami had asked him to. Although it wasn’t what Amami asked for, Saihara did ease his worries a little; by talking to him and theorizing what his talent could be, he distracted Amami from the impression of being the odd one out among a bunch of Ultimate Students, which gradually made him trust Saihara.

In the end, we see in their Graduation Event that Amami gets his memory back for no reason, which means that all the talents Saihara theorized for him weren’t important for finding his talent per se, but rather to ease his self-confidence issues. Just like most of other ships in Salmon Team, Saihara and Amami likely ended up together after traveling around the world “for a lifetime” to find Amami’s sisters. And a nice detail is that Amami references to Kurapika, Kirua and Leorio from Hunter x Hunter during his Graduation Event, before going on a journey with Saihara to find his family, just like Killugon with Gon’s father. Kirua and Gon are also green-blue, which makes me think that AmaSai was written in reference to KilluGon. <3 And another interesting detail is that, while in non-canon Saihara was a huge help to Amami, in canon Amami was a huge help to Saihara in the sense that Saihara wouldn’t have been able to end the killing game without the clues Amami’s death left behind. Despite all of this, AmaSai lacks a certain amount of content on Saihara’s side, in the sense that Amami hasn’t helped Saihara as much as Saihara has helped him, but this balances out the fact that he would be best placed to understand Saihara and his self-confidence issues, given that they’re in exactly the same situation, and offer him the understanding he needs. I like to imagine that, because of Saihara’s discomfort with his Ultimate Talent, he travels with Amami not as a detective who needs to find his sisters, but as a friend who wants to find them. Nanami/Komaeda/Hinata:
 * ✘ Komahinanami ♡
 * ❥ Komahina/Kamukoma ♡
 * ✰ Komanami ♡
 * ❥ Hinanami/Kamunami ♡

Because of their dynamic and aesthetic, KomaNami has always been a comfort ship for me. In much the same way as Oumatsu, Komaeda and Nanami were my two favorite SDR2 characters, so I enjoyed seeing content and fan arts of them, which made me start to ship them hard platonically (I can’t see Komaeda being romantically interested in a women). To me, they are platonic soulmates, the. besties. ever. I really enjoyed their interactions, and whether in the anime or in the game, I loved their friendship. As I also love tragic ships, I was served with Hinanami and KomaNami; Nanami acted as a trigger for both Hinata’s (Kamukura) and Komaeda’s character arcs, making KomaHinanami similar to SaiOumatsu, a ship that I like. I didn’t particularly like Hinanami for all the Ship Tease they had, because it just seemed like a nice high school crush, but I did like what Nanami engendered in Hinata. Hinata, as a normal, average guy, always wanted to be an Ultimate to be special, which is not only very relatable but also the reason why, after befriending Nanami, he couldn’t stand being someone so “normal”, yet standing next to her, and agreed to undergo a lobotomy to possess a talent that would make him proud, worthy of being Nanami’s friend. This is what I call a good writing. Hinanami has many flaws, but it’s explainable and even rather realistic of Hinata to have a crush on the person who was willing to be his friend when she was so “special” compared to him, like a kind of “I Don’t Deserve You” trope. Their Free Time Events (SDR2) and gaming interactions (DR3) were also rather cute, even if kinda forced, but that isn’t what makes me ship them anyway. My favorite Hinanami (KamuNami) scene is the one where Kamukura cries over Nanami’s corpse even though he doesn’t remember her, which was a very unpredictable reaction that took him by surprise, which I think shows just how important Nanami was to him. I like thatーI like angsty ships, which is also the reason I love KomaNami’s lore. Komaeda always admired Nanami as a class representative, believing her to be an exceptional hope for the class. Nanami also obviously cared about him, as can be seen in the anime and in the game, where she was the kindest person to himーand while yes this is cute, it isn’t what struck me most about KomaNami. My favorite piece of lore about them is Nanami’s death’s effect on Komaeda. I just love the fact that, while placing hope above everything else, Komaeda allowed himself to become desperate over Nanami’s death. And to serve despair. While crying as he watched Nanami die, Komaeda gave us a speech about how he knows that Nanami’s death will be a stepping stone to hope, because he has always trusted in the hope that Nanami represents. He let himself become an Ultimate Despair because he knew that Nanami would later give them hope. Which happened. It’s thanks to her that Hinata, Komaeda and all the others have been able to create a hopeful future.

But all of that is nothing compared to the masterpiece that is Hinata and Komaeda’s relationship. My favorite relationships are the ones that are complex, that the game doesn’t throw in your face and yet are interesting and well structured, and that you can discover by yourself through hints; which is a pretty accurate description of KomaHina. I love KomaHina because I didn’t understand them at first. That’s what makes the ship so appealing. The only KomaHina-like ships I like are Oumatsu and Kavetham, both extremely misunderstood by their respective fandoms yet amazingly structured. KomaHina is no exception to the rule. I just like how KomaHina started, and how KomaHina ended. It’s an angsty ship with a good ending. They bonded by feeling that the other was like them, ordinary, average, which brought them both closer and made them feel comfortable around each other, before losing each other after the Chapter 1 trial. Dangan Fandom often says KomaHina is one-sided, but I personally don’t believe it is, given that Komaeda was to Hinata (in Chapter 1) what Maizono was to Naegi, a Semi-Canon ship with Mutual Attraction, making KomaHina a parallel to them. Unlike a bunch of Komaeda ship, Komaeda’s love for Hinata doesn’t have anything to do with hope; it is genuine, human love, that made Komaeda question his worldview. Komaeda has always believed in hope and talent, so he was very troubled when he sensed that a talentless loser like Hinata was the person he’d fallen in love with. And that’s the point of their relationship: thanks to Hinata, Komaeda was able to question his unhealthy obsession with hope. Hinata is also Komaeda’s most realistic and healthy partner; as he (Kamukura) also possesses Ultimate Luck, he can balance Komaeda’s, making it safe for him to stay around Komaeda, as there’s no chance of him being contaminated by his badluck. In the end, Komaeda took Hinata’s handーnot Kamukura’s. Komaeda has chosen Hinata over The Ultimate Hope, and I think there is a strong chance of them becoming canon post-DR3.

"By the time I realized I was looking at the remains of Nagito Komaeda, the Ultimate Lucky Student...Time had already stopped. Nagito...is dead... Even when I saw this before me, I wasn’t able to comprehend that reality yet. Nagito...ended up in such a cruel state... Nagito...is dead... Even until the very end, I couldn’t look away from Chiaki’s final moments... It’s over... It just had to end... Before I could ask what I needed to ask... Before I could say what I needed to say...Chiaki vanished before my eyes. And I couldn’t even tell her, “thank you”... If I had said that, would she have been comforted a little...?"

- Hinata.


 * ✘ Junkozuru ♡
 * Junko/Kamukura: This ship is my guilty pleasure. I know that they would be really toxic for each other (especially on Junko’s side), yet I can’t help but find their (platonic) duo so entertaining. Junko’s fake flirtation was actually kinda fun, and they were the most entertaining duo of DR3 I’m sorry to say. I also really love the fact that, as Ultimate Despair and Ultimate Hope, Junko is the only person that Kamukura can’t predict (and, therefore is the only one ’not boring’ to him. <3) “Junko had far more respect for Kamukura than the other Ultimate Despair members, considering him more of an ally instead of a servant.” and I fucking love this.

"How can things ever be the same again, knowing that your life was saved when others weren’t? In a way, salvation can also be a burden. ...If I were her, I’m not sure if I would have done anything different."

- Yanfei to Traveler about Yelan

Okay, firstly, who gave them the right to be so underrated? As soon as I did the Perilous Trail Quest/2.7 Event, I immediately shipped them, and thought the ship was gonna explode in the fandom, but nope. Since then, they haven’t moved much in my rankings, despite having no regular content. The further I got into the quest, the more their interactions gradually made me ship them even more. The fact that Yanfei knows about Yelan’s past (and tried to relate to her) while Yelan is an absolute mystery to Liyue, the way Yanfei tries to protect Yelan’s secret even if it means lying, the way the PASH! Fanbook described their relationship as “two partners perfectly in sync with eachother”, the flirtation scene, Itto thinking that Yelan is joined at Yanfei’s hip... Yanfei is also one of the few people Yelan trusts, and her voice line about Yanfei is kinda fruity. Also, dinners and tea parties??? if not dates, what are they? Also, Genshin’s reincarnation theory implies that the characters in The Chasm’s quest are the reincarnations of the deceased Yakshas (Itto/Menogias, Kuki/Bosacius, Yanfei/Indarias, Yelan/Bonanus, Xiao/Alatus), which means that Yanfei and Yelan could have been them in their past lives... And overall, their dynamic is entertaining and original, and YanLan is a good ship. Kiss kiss fall inlove.
 * ❥ ZhongTao ♡
 * Zhongli/Hu Tao:

"It would be best not underestimate someone as whimsical as her. However, should you enjoy surprises, then I believe a visit is in order."

- Zhongli about Hu Tao

They were the first Genshin Impact ship I heard of (along with Mona/Fischl), and I was particularly interested in their duo even before playing. I read their wiki and “wow, they have incredible lore and chemistry”, and I wasn’t wrong. Everything about this ship seems to have been written to be as realistic as possible; their design, their complementarity (gameplay AND lore-wise), their dynamics...I love them. Also, they literally live together and that one Lantern Rite scene got me into the ship even more, because it was one of the rare times Zhongli smiled in the game. Back in 2021, I remember ZhongTao giving me GiyuShino vibes, and since I’m a sucker for introverts x extroverts, seeing Zhongli come out of his shell and smile next to Hu Tao was a treat.
 * ❥ Venrina ♡
 * Furina/Venti: I don’t ship them yet since I don’t ship characters with no interactions, but I like the idea of silly bored archon x sassy bored archon. I want to see what Venrina dynamic could be in the future. Let’s just wait for Furina.


 * ✰ Scarahida ♡
 * Nahida/Scaramouche:

"The wisest leaders are fated to end up with the best helpers... I can live with that."

- Scaramouche to Nahida

Fanmedia, mostly, got me into the (platonic) ship. I love how, even when they were enemies, Nahida tried to understand Scaramouche and saw everything he’s been through. They are REALLY similar as characters, and there is no doubt they are happy with each other. I loved the scene where Nahida was teasing Scaramouche while calling him “Mister Hat Guy”, and HE SMILED??? I’m one of those people who see them as an aunt-nephew relationship, because while ’Buer’ is 500 as Kusanali, I’m not sure she’s mature enough to be in a romantic relationship. So yeah, gonna stay in the Lodish side for now.
 * ❥ DainsLumi ♡
 * Dainsleif/Abyss Lumine:

"My memory has all but faded completely... But I will always remember how much she too, loved these flowers."

- Dainsleif about Lumine

The amount of lore they have is incredible. It’s not really a question of dynamics, but a question of lore. They used to travel together, now they’re enemies... I don’t know, I feel like they’re exes who were forced apart by fate or something. If they’re not exes, then it HAS to be one-sided from Dain’s side, because the way he talks about Lumine has nothing to do with ’friendship.’ The way Dainsleif’s memory fades with time BUT the only thing he still remembers correctly is his past with Lumine... They’re so mysterious, I hope they have some new content in the future. If so, I’ll be happy to consider them again as one of my favorite Genshin ships, like every time Dainsleif talks about Lumine in the interlude quests. Also, am I the only one who thinks about them each time I hear Dangerously Yours?
 * ❥ Monafischl ♡
 * Fischl/Mona:

"Mein Fräulein trusts no one more than yourself, my lady, she is simply concerned for your well-being."

- Oz to Mona about Fischl

MonaFischl was the first Genshin ship I discovered (with ), so it has a special place in my heart. The thing that made me ship them is the Unreconciled Stars Event, which gave me the impression was centered on their relationship... And their dynamic is so entertaining, they’re literally Tsundere x Tsundere (with each other).
 * ❥ Heikazu
 * Heizou/Kazuha: The Detective inlove with the Criminal...I’m not a fan of this trope, but it just hits different with them. Heizou wants to arrest Kazuha just to spend time with him...I know what you are. 🤨 I also love their matching designs. Contrasting personalities >>


 * ❥ Scaralou
 * Nilou/Scaramouche: I used to dislike ScaraLou at first, but now they’re kinda growing on me. In Scaramouche’s teaser, Scaramouche is represented by a Puppet Soldier in love with a Ballerina Doll, whose greatest wish was to be with her forever. The Puppet Soldier didn’t have a heart until he was thrown in the flames, but that didn’t stopped him from watching the Ballerina dance. While unlikely to represent Nilou, this picked my interest and I started to ship them. I hope for a future interaction between the two, because I think Nilou would be one of the few people patient enough with Scaramouche to put up with his behavior.


 * ❥ Kavetham
 * Kaveh/Alhaitham: I wasn’t particularly interested in Kavetham at first, but a friend of mine was, so I naturally quickly got informed of all the new Kavetham content as soon as it came out, and omg...The way Kaveh calls Alhaitham’s house “home” got me. Also, the fact that Alhaitham is “harsh” with Kaveh because he knows that if he’s too nice him, Kaveh’s gonna push him away and blame himself...And overall, we all know they are implied as hell. *wink*


 * ✘ ScaraLumi
 * Lumine/Scaramouche: Them... they are literally the Oumatsu 2.0 of Genshin Impact. (the Oumatsu 1.0 is VenLumi btw) It’s probably the only reason I started to ship them, and I also liked this official art of them, they’re adorable.


 * ✰ XinKazu
 * Xinyan/Kazuha: 2.8 Event mostly. a friend got me into the ship, and I loved their Double Date with MonaFischl in the 2.8 Event. Even though I prefer them as platonic, I could see them as romantic too.


 * ❥ Ganqing
 * Keqing/Ganyu: They have a nice aesthetic, and, just like ZhongTao they work together and see each other on a daily basis. I think they are implied, and I was fascinated by the “Ganqing Impact?” tweet, because...Genshin?? doing ship bait?? I didn’t know Ganqing back then, but with the tweet I remember thinking they were a canon couple.


 * ✘ XiaoVen
 * Xiao/Venti: I have a love-hate relationship with VenXiao, I used to dislike the ship a lot due to its popularity despite that they weren’t confirmed to know eachother. Yet I still wanted to ship them because of their lore, but I wasn’t sure that Venti remembered about Xiao. Then, the “Endless Suffering” trailer was released, as well as the Lantern Rite event... and yep, Venti remembers!! I loved Xiao’s reaction when he saw Venti again. <3 Their dynamic is introvert x extrovert, one of my favorite tropes. Yet I don’t know if I ship them romantically or platonically, I just...like them.


 * ❥ Candehya
 * Dehya/Candace: If I remember correctly, I started shipping them when the Desert Archon Quest got released. The way they talk to and behave with each other...They don’t even try to hide it.  I see them as either girlfriends or besties, it depends. Also, I loved their scene in Dehya’s Character Demo where Dehya turned from lioness to kitten as soon as Candace showed up.


 * ❥ Ayamiya
 * Ayaka/Yoimiya: TBA.


 * ❥ Rosaeya
 * Kaeya/Rosaria: Drinking Buddies. they definitely share their problems while drinking, or maybe gossips...or maybe both. Also, Mondstadt Team Rocket?


 * ❥ Xingyun
 * Chongyun/Xingqiu: They have a nice dynamic, cute moments, and are heavily implied. Xingqiu calls Chongyun “dear Chongyun” and Chongyun gets nosebleeds when Xingqiu sings, they’re always together on official arts...not to mention their designs, they look beautiful together.


 * ❥ EiMiko
 * Yae Miko/Raiden Ei: TBA.


 * ✰ VenLumi
 * Lumine/Venti: Same reason as ScaraLumi, except I actually don’t want them to kiss.


 * ❥ Cynonari
 * Tighnari/Cyno: I’ve been a big fan of Collei since the Genshin Webtoon, so naturally I think that having two strong dads to protect her is something she really deserves. Overall, the fact that they’re like father figures to her is pretty obvious, and I think Cynonari in general is pretty obvious... They have character stories dedicated to each other, Cyno sometimes lives with Collei and Tighnari and they’ve known each other since childhood. They have everything it takes to be an old married couple.


 * ❥ EulAmber
 * Eula/Amber: In her Character Demo, Eula proposes Amber to dance with her, that’s very cute in my opinion. Also, I immediatly shipped them when I saw that one scene from the 2.3 event cutscene...Amber is so lucky. /j I sometimes ask myself “is it possible NOT TO ship Eulamber?”


 * ❥ Barbelle
 * Noelle/Barbara: TBA.


 * ✰ Kleeona
 * Diona/Klee: Cute dynamic, they could be best friends. The idea of ’childhood crushes’ is also cute, but it’s not really my thing.


 * -|Honkai: Star Rail=
 * ✘ SilverKaf ♡
 * Silver Wolf/Kafka:

"Ignoring the rules is something Kafka and I have in common."

- Silver Wolf about Kafka

Okay so, basically, when I saw the opening cutscene of Honkai Star Rail I didn’t knew anything about either of them, but...I saw them and I was like “Partners in Crime? hell yeah.” because yes it’s one of my favorite tropes. I don’t know if I ship them romantically or platonically but I think they can work as both platonic and romantic, and I just enjoy their duo and can’t wait for future content. I forgot about them after the game started, but Silver Wolf’s teaser “Got a Date?” brought me back to reason, especially when I saw Kafka call Silver Wolf “darling”, I love them.
 * ❥ DanHang
 * Dan Heng/Sushang: I don’t know. I feel like they were really cute in Dan Heng’s side quest, and they are literally the Stoic x Sweet trope.


 * ✰ Starch
 * March 7th/Stelle: TBA.


 * ❥ KafBlade
 * Kafka/Blade: TBA.


 * ❥ BronSeele
 * Bronya/Seele: “I ship BronSeele.” to be honest, who doesn’t?

✰ TRIVIA/FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

 * The ’k’ and the ’v’ in my username stands for Kokichi and Venti, my 2 biggest kins!
 * The Japanese kanji of my first name, Nagi "凪", comes from "𠘨" (the outer component of 風 "wind"). I feel like a true Anemo Vision holder lol
 * By the way, if I was in Genshin I would be Anemo, even though my favorite element is Electro.
 * I’m a Slytherin.
 * I love debating, and I will always consider arguments as debates, because I won’t ever argue but instead debate with good arguments. I also always respect the person I’m debating/aruing with, and will most likely always consider you as a cool person if you take the time to properly debate with me even if we don’t agree in the end. :)
 * My MBTI (Myers Briggs Type Indicator) is ENTP, with the Ne>Ti>Fe>Si function stack (EN(T)).
 * My enneagram type is 7 (so/sp), with my tritype being 748 (7w6/4w3/8w7).
 * My temperament is Sanguine-Choleric (Sanguine>Choleric>Phlegmatic>Melancholic).
 * From the Soldier, Poet, King test, I am the Poet!
 * My first fandoms were My Little Pony and Miraculous Ladybug.
 * The id of my carrd is just “kaede”, and my discord tag is just “oumatsu”.
 * My favorite shows are IT, Stranger Things, Umbrella Academy, Sex Education and The Lorax
 * I like to think of Venti as Kaede & Kokichi’s son.
 * I’m a sucker for Marionnette cosplays from Five Night at Freddy’s.
 * I like to assign my OTPs an emoji.
 * KomaHinanami would be 🍡. The pink dango is Nanami, the white dango is Hinata and the green dango is Komaeda. (colors) Plus, it can be called “Hanami dango” which sounds like Hinanami. Also, a dango looks like a skewer, the food Hinata and Komaeda eat at the end of Danganronpa 3.
 * SunnFlower woule be 🌻. Pretty obvious. "Sunn" refers to SUNNY, "Flower" refers to BASIL (BASIL was originally intended to be called "FLOWER" and loves flowers). Also, BASIL told his friends he wanted to be like a sunflower, because "sunflowers always face towards the sun."
 * Oumatsu would be 🎭. A double face acting, hard to figure out. Akamatsu and Ouma both wear a mask of "Liar" for Ouma and "Truthteller" for Akamatsu, even though Akamatsu is also a liar and Ouma is also a truthteller. Ouma lies because that’s the kind of person he is, and tells the truth to help others. Akamatsu tells the truth because that’s the kind of person she is, and lied in the killing game for the sake of everyone. Overall they’re the Truth VS Lies theme and I feel like this emoji has Oumatsu vibes.
 * My current favorite Double Date is AmaSaiOumatsu, with Oumatsu & AmaSai. Every other ship is platonic (SaiMatsu, SaiOuma, Oumami, AmaMatsu)
 * I headcanon Aka matsu as bisexual, Ou ma as pan sexual, Amami as gay/asexual and Saih ara as bisexual/tran s ftm.
