Danganronpa/Ships

= Celesaya =  Celesaya is the femslash ship between Celestia Ludenberg and Sayaka Maizono.

Canon
Despite being from the same Game, Sayaka and Celestia never interacted, due Sayaka's early death, although both weren't seen to be on bad terms with each other. The two also share no events in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan.

They’re both seen in a photo with Hifumi Yamada, with Celestia angrily chasing Hifumi for her eyelashes and Sayaka giggling in the background.

Something that both have in common is that both sacrificed a lot for their dreams, while Sayaka tried to kill Leon Kuwata, to escape the Killing Game, to keep on her dream as Ultimate Pop Sensation, Celestia, helped Hifumi to kill Ishimaru, too then kill the latter one, to fulfill her big dream, to live in a Castle with handsome servants. Personality-wise, Celestia and Sayaka have nothing in common, Celestia, is cold, and hiding her emotions with a smile, while Sayaka has a nice personality and is always friendly.

Fanon
Celesaya is a rare-pair among the Danganronpa, while having a decent amount of fan arts and fanfictions on Archive Of Our Own, It's nowhere as popular as, Celestia and Sayaka's main ships, such as Celesgiri and Celesgami for Celestia and Naezono and Ikuzono for Sayaka. Nonetheless some people still ship them and wish that Celestia and Sayaka would have interacted more with each other. Celesaya is often portrayed in fanfictions as a one-sided crush from Sayaka's side, due her being the nice and caring one.

In Celesaya fan arts, Sayaka and Celestia are often seen to have tea together, or Celestia and Sayaka are together in their sports uniforms. Often Kyoko Kirigiri is also portrayed in fan arts, creating a polyship between all three, since Kirizono and Celesgiri are decently popular ships in the fandom. A main reason why the ship sailed was because of the trope, which is a fairly popular trope, since Sayaka is nice and has a bubbly personality, and Celestia is rather cold, they perfectly match in this trope.

On AO3, the ship currently has 38+ works.

= Chizo =  Chizo is the friend ship between Chisa Yukizome and Juzo Sakakura.

Canon
Juzo and Chisa are best friends along with Kyosuke Munakata, both of them are in love with him.

Fanon
Some people liked to ship Chisa and Juzo as het due the fact that they are friends and their opposite personalities, but when it was revealed that Juzo is gay, many people abandoned the romantic ship and started shipping them as friends. In AO3 the ship has 20+ gen works and only 2 romantic works.

= Harushira =  Harushira is the femslash ship between Maki Harukawa and Tenko Chabashira.

Canon
Maki and Tenko were both students of the Ultimate Academy of Gifted Juveniles and took part in the killing game. Though, not many interactions are shared between them in game. However, in Chapter 3, Tenko seeks Shuichi and Maki for help to put a stop to Angie's spirit ritual.

However in Tenko's Danganronpa V3 Ultimate Talent Development Plan event, she teams up with Maki for a three-legged race. Tenko tells Maki that having her help is like having the help of 100 people, and encourages both of them to win. Maki comments Tenko was really pumped up and she didn't plan on holding back. Tenko then says she looks calm and competitive, and that she could definitely rely on Maki. While she brushed it off, Maki told her to assume whatever she wanted. Tenko did just that and states if it's them, going to the top would be a piece of cake.

Fanon
This ship doesn't have many supporters compared to other ships like Tenmiko or Harukaito.

Though, both characters do have some similar traits. Both characters have powerful strength (Maki being the Ultimate Assassin and Tenko being the Ultimate Aikido Master). Also, both have their hair styled into two long twin-tails and both are attired in sailor uniforms.

Maki has more of a serious personality and Tenko is more cheerful.

= Hinakawa =  Hinakawa is the femslash ship between Aoi Asahina and Toko Fukawa.

Canon
Toko would usually direct cruel remarks toward Aoi, calling her “stupid swimmer” and “brainless mermaid”. Toko was very furious when Aoi slapped Byakuya and began to argue with her the next day about Sakura. She also made many sexual and degrading jabs about her appearance. In spite of this, when her younger brother Yuta dies, Toko is reluctant to deliver the bad news to Aoi, for fear of upsetting her.

Fandom
= Hope Bagels =  Hope Bagels is the cargo ship between Nagito Komaeda and bagels.

Canon
Nagito has never been seen eating or mentioning bagels in canon.

Quotes
"Hi, I'm Nagito Komaeda. My talent is Ultimate Bullshit and I love bagels."

- Nagito's English Voice Actor, Bryce Papenbrook

Fanon
The ship as well as a meme emerged as a result of NicoB's apparently out-of-nowhere joke, which eventually got promoted into a running gag. Inspired by Aoi Asahina's love for doughnuts, NicoB decided that bagels will be Nagito's favorite food, which he brought up several times in his gameplays.

According to Nagito in NicoB's series, bagels represent hope. Their opposite are waffles, which represent despair. Nagito's love for bagels is brought up not only in NicoB's gameplays and reaction videos featuring the character, but also his fan made series: Council of Voices. For example, in its third episode, Nagito's suggestion for a Bagel theme for the VoiceComing Dance wins and is executed until Monokuma interrupts it with his Despair Blits song (and waffles). In Episode 6, while talking to Byakuya Togami, Nagito once again compares hope to bagels, and despair to waffles.

It's also believed that the ship originates from Nagito's death. He has a spear going through him, making him look like a bagel, with one hole in the center.

The meme became very popular over the time. In fact, it appears to be the most popular Danganronpa meme. It's sometimes acknowledged and used by the other Danganronpa Let's Players. It was so popular that it was even acknowledged by Nagito's English voice actor, Bryce Papenbrook, and the studio behind the Danganronpa games, Spike Chunsoft.

The name of the ship comes from Nagito often comparing bagels to hope in NicoB's Council of Voices series. It also mixes this cargoship with Nagito's canon obsession with hope.

= Irumaki =  Irumaki is the femslash ship between Miu Iruma and Maki Harukawa from the Danganronpa fandom.

Fanon
Miu has always been quite vulgar, so she tends to repel people sometimes. Maki on the other hand is more standoff-ish, her whole demeanor being either hostile or uninterest, as well as her normally looking/acting annoyed around others which causes them to feel their presence is unwanted. Both are a case of misunderstanding. Miu, while her choices of expressing it may not be the best, is actually quite soft, despite her often expressing/implying she's uncapable of it due to her intelligence and supposed superiority. It's implied she hides her softer side as a means of defense as not to seem weak. It's also semi-proven that she uses this vulgar side of her so people give her more attention (outside of her inventions), as it seems to be something she lacks. Like Miu, Maki's demeanor is used as a defensive system. Being an assassin, you have to be completely detached from your victims to kill them, and as everyone around her could be a potential opponent, she feels the need to keep her guard up at all times.

Fandom
= Kaemaru =  Kaemaru is the femslash ship between Komaru Naegi and Kaede Akamatsu.

Canon
Komaru and Kaede have never canonically interacted, as they both come from two different entries in the series.

In Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, Komaru borrows a recital CD from Kaede. Komaru praises her music, saying that despite not being a fan of classical music, her performance was so great that it made her cry. In another event, Kaede watches Komaru's juggling performance at the festival and brings her juice from her own stand, and Komaru comments on how nice it is having friends on the trip with her.

The two share many similarities, most notably their protagonist statuses. Komaru was the protagonist of Danganronpa: Another Episode, and Kaede Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. They are also both very optimistic in their roles. This also ties into a difference, however, as Komaru was very unsure of herself at first, and considered herself "bland" and "boring" while Kaede was always optimistic, and believed that everything would be alright even when her life was threatened. They also both have close friends they consider very important to them, Komaru's being Toko Fukawa and Kaede's being Shuichi Saihara.

Fanon
Kaemaru is not popular in the fandom, due to the fact that Komaru and Kaede have never canonically interacted. It is also highly overshadowed by more popular ships involving the two, such as Tokomaru, Saimatsu, and Irumatsu. It still has some supporters, however.

The ship sailed mainly due to the girls' similarities. Its supporters believe that they would get along well, being the only female protagonists of their series. It is sometimes portrayed as a friendship as well, alongside the rest of the protagonists.

= Kaiibouma =  Kaiibouma is the poly ship between Kaito Momota, Kokichi Oma, and K1-B0. AKA: Momouiibo

Canon
The trio features very frequently across the third game, with two major dynamics: Oumota and Kiibouma. Kokichi and Kaito are shown to be rivals throughout the game, and Kokichi is known to tease K1-B0 a large amount. Kaito and K1-B0 rarely interact however, which mildly lowers the ship's canon weight. The three all made it to Chapter 5, and all managed to become fan favorite characters.

Fanon
The three are all featured in major ships with Shuichi Saihara, and their dynamics with him often lead to him being included in the ship. Within these ships, Kokichi retains his jokey personality, but seemingly desires to be with Shuichi. Kaito acts as an older brother figure to Shuichi, and K1-B0 just desires a romantic bond. It is believed that the dynamics would remain the same in this ship. Proponents of the ship like to think that the trio would just be best friends in a non-killing game universe, and go on various misadventures. Their clashing personalities would lead to humorous dialogue exchanges.

They could also be thought of as 'adopted siblings' in a sense, with Kaito being the eldest, K1-B0 being the middle, and Kokichi being the youngest. This AU headcanon lends itself well to their dynamic.

= Komahinadam =  Komahinadam is the poly ship between Nagito Komaeda, Hajime Hinata, and Gundham Tanaka from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
The only interaction shared by these three as a trio of during Hajime's first meeting with Gundham. During this interaction, Nagito translates a few of Tanaka's more eccentric questions to Hinata. At this point in time, Komaeda seems to admire Gundham's breeding talent, but both he and Hinata are somewhat polarized by Gundham's eccentric behavior.

Hajime and Gundham alike are two of the students who make an effort to understand Komaeda's morals, Hajime during his free time events with Komaeda and Gundham in a passing statement about Nagito's grey morality.

Hajime is also one of the only students who makes an effort to understand Gundham, effectively shaking his hand and befriending him at the conclusion of his free time events.

Komaeda's affections towards Hajime and respect for Gundham's talent disappear during the Fourth Chapter after he learns the truth about the students of Class 77-B. He grows cold to both of them, as well as to the other students in his class. During this same chapter, both Hinata and Komaeda convict Gundham and send him to his execution.

During chapter five, Komaeda's antics end in his elaborate suicide, with which he attempted to take the rest of his classmates' lives, Hajime included.

While the three fail to interact during the events of the third anime, Komaeda's admiration of Hajime's hope extends throughout the latter's life as Izuru Kamakura.

At the end of Despair Arc, all three become the Ultimate Despair with the rest of their class.

Fanon
The ship sailed due to the similarities between Gundham and Nagito, as well as the similarities between their relationships with Hajime. Since Hajime makes an effort into understanding both his strange classmates, and Gundham expresses his own understanding of Komaeda's morals, some believe that the trio would make an interesting polyship.

Some believe that the balance between the trio's relationships, moral standings and behaviors would create a solid and positive outcome.

Komahinadam spread in an underground movement of shippers who liked both Hinadam and Roulette, though the ship never peaked in popularity. The semi-canon status of Hinadam and Komahina only fueled the ship further.

= Ludenhina =  Ludenhina is the femslash ship between Aoi Asahina and Celestia Ludenburg.

Canon
The two barely have any interactions. However, the two manage to have a few in the 3rd and first chapter. In the first trial, Celestia wonders if anyone has any questions, and Aoi responds saying she does, however in response Celestia seems disappointed. In chapter 3, Once Makoto, Aoi Asahina, and Celestia had discovered Hifumi's supposed dead body, Aoi felt sick and was taken to the bathroom by Celestia while Makoto left to tell the others on the 3rd floor who had discovered Kiyotaka's body that Hifumi was dead. Later in the Trial, Aoi and Yasuhiro did not understand why she wanted to commit murder when she was the one who preached having to "adapt" to their new lives, and so Celestia gave them an answer.

Fandom
= Mukuraoi =  Mukuraoi is the femslash ship between Aoi Asahina and Mukuro Ikusaba.

Canon
Mukuro while disguised as Junko participated in the killing game along with Aoi. However, Mukuro was ultimately betrayed by her sister, who instead of removing her from the game after she stomped on Monokuma, impaled her on the spot with Spears of Gungnir. Mukuro was not expecting the betrayal, so she failed to save herself and succumb to her wounds moments after uttering out her final words: "H-Huh? This wasn't...supposed to... Why...me...?".

Fandom
= Naeishi =  Naeishi is the slash ship between Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Makoto Naegi.

Canon
Kiyotaka seems to regard Makoto in a friendly manner, or at least respectfully as a fellow classmate and student. In Kiyotaka's Free Time Events, their relationship deepens when Makoto manages to help Kiyotaka and his social skills with making friends, to which Kiyotaka responds by giving him the title of "Professor", much to Makoto's discomfort. Eventually Kiyotaka comes to call Makoto a friend, and even entrust him with the knowledge of his grandfather, Toranosuke Ishimaru, and why he hates geniuses.

= Owanaegi = 

Owanaegi is the slash ship between Mondo Owada and Makoto Naegi from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
When Makoto tries to stop Mondo from doing something rash when he and Byakuya get into an argument, Makoto ends up getting punched by Mondo instead. Mondo later apologizes for his short-tempered actions showing he holds no disdain towards Makoto.

Mondo and Kiyotaka have an argument about who is stronger and challenge each other to an endurance contest in the sauna. Mondo requests Makoto to be their witness in order to have a fair contest showing that he trusts Makoto.

During Mondo's Free Time events, he requests that Makoto comes riding with his gang after they escape Hope's Peak Academy. Makoto is unsure if it would be safe and Mondo states Makoto could ride with him on his motorcycle, showing that he trusts Makoto and sees him as a close friend. Mondo also talks to Makoto exclusively about his indecisiveness over his career path, something that he stated he would share with no one else which presents the development of their friendship.

Makoto is able to discover Mondo to be the culprit of Chihiro's murder and upon hearing Mondo's reasons for killing Chihiro, Makoto starts to feel guilty and was deeply upset when Mondo is sentenced to be executed.

Novels
= Princess Pop= 

Princess Pop is the femslash ship between Sayaka Maizono and Sonia Nevermind.

Canon
They have never canonically met. However, there is a lot of official art of both Sonia and Sayaka together.

Sayaka has a cheerful, sweet, lighthearted, and supporting personality, expressing a kind demeanor and pleasant disposition. Sonia is a cheerful and polite girl with a great interest in Japanese culture. Her very polite personality is well-demonstrated by the way she is shown to be kind and polite even towards Monomi and Nagito Komaeda, despite not really liking neither of them. Both of them have similar personalities that complement each other's.

Fanon
This ship has sailed due to how much their personalities complement each other's as well as their talents. Sonia is the ultimate princess and Sayaka is the ultimate idol. Both of these talents gain a significant amount of popularity.

It is imaginable that Sonia and Sayaka would cheer each other up during tough times. They would both relate to having large expectations and concerns of what others think about them.

However, this ship is overlooked, and even called a crack pair. Sayaka is more commonly shipped with Kyoko Kirigiri, Leon Kuwata, Makoto Naegi and Mukuro Ikusaba. Sonia is more commonly shipped with Gundham Tanaka and Chiaki Nanami.

=Sayakura=  Sayakura is the femslash ship between Sayaka Maizono and Sakura Ogami.

Canon
Sayaka and Sakura are very different characters at first glance, but there are some similarities between them. They are both athletic, (though Sayaka's is more hypothetical), and have feminine personalities. Sayaka has embraced her femininity and became an idol, but Sakura has repressed hers, and trained to become strong instead. Sakura is embarrassed about her feminine side, and thinks she'll be laughed at if it is revealed.

The two characters have a short interaction in the non-canon Ultimate Talent Development Plan bonus mode, in which Sayaka and Sakura are on the volleyball team. Sayaka mentions that she feels calm having Sakura with her, but says that she wants to help out as well. Sakura responds saying that she is not used to team events, and appreciates that Sayaka is enthusiastic about helping. Sayaka then tries to boost morale by saying to try as hard as they can.

Fanon
Sayakura is a rare-pair, as the characters have very little interaction, and there is not much fanwork about the two. The main rivals of the ship are Sakuraoi and Naezono. People who ship the duo believe that Sayaka would teach Sakura to express her femininity, and embrace it. There is a decent percentage of people who add Aoi Asahina into the ship as well, giving Sayakuraoi instead.

Trivia

 * They are the first and last victims of the first killing game, and both caused their own death, with Sayaka instigating the fight that got her killed, and Sakura commiting suicide.

=Seesaw Effect=  Seesaw Effect is the cargoship between Korekiyo Shinguji and a seesaw.

Canon
Korekiyo used a "seesaw effect" by jumping on a loose floorboard in order to impale a hidden under-a-cage Tenko Chabashira on a sickle. He did so despite having already killed Angie Yonaga whose murder lacked enough evidence to point to the culprit. As a result, the term "seesaw effect" was brought up numerous times during the third Class Trial.

Fanon
Because Korekiyo insisted on using the seesaw trick, people have started making so many memes about it, the natural outcome was for people to jokingly ship him with seesaws. The memes and joke ship were fueled by the fact that he got greedy for another kill (due to his goal of making 100 friends for his Sister), even though he would have been uncaught due to lack of proper final evidence had he stopped at his first murder. The fans jokingly say that he got greedy for another kill because he didn't want the trick that he prepared go to waste as well as because of his love for seesaws.

The memes are also spread through some YouTubers' gameplays, with possibly the most famous one being NicoB who is known for his funny playthroughs and even is responsible for creating some Danganronpa memes. The ship may also serve as a sort of coping mechanism for a rather dark and villainous third case of Danganronpa V3.

The memes tend to mock Korekiyo for still going with the seesaw trick and killing Tenko, which made him way more suspicious, instead of stopping at killing Angie, in which case there wouldn't be enough evidence to point him as her killer. Meanwhile, fan fictions tend to explain his irrationality with a childish love for seesaws. Some even take the love much further, making him sexually attracted to seesaws.

Due to its silly yet endearing nature, his "love" for seesaws is generally considered one of the best fanon aspects of Korekiyo's character. This can be especially the case for those who want to make up for his darker or more unsympathetic qualities. This often leads to the creation of humorous videos on YouTube, among other forms of memes.

It remains as one of the most recognized memes from its parent game, as well as one of the most popular memes in Danganronpa's fandom in general. However, in spite of its popularity, genuinely shipping Korekiyo with a seesaw is rare, as per all the other cargoships in the series. As such, it loses in popularity to plenty of Korekiyo's other ships, especially such major ones as Shinnaga. Nonetheless, it's still preferred over Kiyo's canon incest relationship with his Sister.

=Shironaga= <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Shironaga is the femslash ship between Angie Yonaga and Tsumugi Shirogane.

Canon
Angie and Tsumugi rarely interact throughout the game. However, Tsumugi was one of the four students to join the student council. The scene in which Angie encourages Tsumugi to join is one of the things that fueled the ship. There's also the secret event in chapter three when Tsumugi, Angie, Tenko and Himiko are changing to go swimming and in that scene Angie asks if she can touch Tsumugi's breasts since they look big. Tsumugi was also one of the few characters to cry over her death and said she'll avenge the killer at all costs.

With the reveal of Tsumugi being the mastermind, it is possible that she was faking her relationship with Angie. However, When Shuichi mentioned how she seemed genuinely sad at Angie and Gonta's deaths, she ignored his comment and continued on with her speech about how they we're all fictional.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of the small ship tease between the two, such as Angie hugging her and asking to touch her breasts. Some fans view it as a one sided attraction on Angie's side which is possible. Another possible reason people started shipping it is because they both have artistic talents, with Tsumugi being the ultimate cosplayer and Angie being the ultimate artist. This inspires a lot of fanart of the two engaging in their hobbies together. The few scenes they have with each other are the main driving force behind this ship. However, this ship gets overshadowed by the more popular ships for the two such as Shinnaga and Kaemugi.

Despite them barely having any interactions, the ship grew popular fast. It, however, is still considered a rare-pair by some while others consider it popular. This ship has many fanart, with most of it being by Ministarfruit.

Fandom
=Togaishi= <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Togaishi is the slash ship between Byakuya Togami and Kiyotaka Ishimaru.

Canon
Byakuya and Kiyotaka are in the same killing game. As such, they at least know who each other are and have likely interacted a few times whether we see it or not. Their exact relationship is difficult to tell due to the low amount of short interaction between the two characters.

Byakuya was originally assumed to have gained his ultimate through birthright and not from actual effort. This would contradict Taka’s opinion that people should work for what they have and not get it without real effort and true hard work. This would likely mean that Taka would have a reason to dislike Byakuya but he probably wouldn’t hate him immediately due to the fact that he has no right to assume that without proper evidence.

Danganronpa S
In Danganronpa S, Taka shouts at Byakuya for reserving so much of the beach for himself to which Togami replies saying that he only wants Toko to go away from him.

Byakuya and Izuru briefly mentions Taka when Izuru says, “I was previously told by the Ultimate Moral Compass that I lack effort.” Byakuya responds by saying, “Moral Compass.. You mean Kiyotaka? He’d even lecture *you* about effort?”

Fandom
=Yasuburger = <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Yasuburger is the cargo ship between Yasuhiro Hagakure and his hamburger.

Canon
Towards the beginning of Chapter 4 in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, five of the remaining seven students gather in the dining hall for breakfast. At one point, Yasuhiro boldly predicts that no more murders will occur inside of the school, which leads to Aoi Asahina questioning the accuracy of his fortune-telling skills. Yasuhiro angrily replies that his fortune-telling is not like "some occult thing" and that clairvoyance should not be put in the same category as cattle mutilation. Kyoko Kirigiri then clarifies that Yasuhiro is referring to the urban legend about aliens abducting cows, but he denies it as just an urban legend, and claims that he had witnessed it himself.

Yasuhiro then beings to tell the others an allegedly true story about a night when he ordered a hamburger from a take-out place he had never been to before, which claimed that their patties were 100% all beef. While on his way home, a beam of light suddenly appeared, and locked onto the hamburger, which began floating in mid-air. The hamburger then began to dissemble as it floated, with one part vanishing completely, while the rest of it fell back into his hand. Yasuhiro had deducted that this meant the burger couldn't have been 100% beef, and that it must have had something else mixed in, like pork. He then went back into the building and confronted the manager, who admitted that the burger really wasn't 100% beef, and that ground pork had been mixed in as well.

Yasuhiro finally concludes his story, asking the others if they now understand the difference between clairvoyance and cattle mutilation. However, Makoto Naegi says that he had gotten lost halfway through his story, while Aoi remarks to Yasuhiro that he stinks of stupidity.

Quotes
"It means, the burger wasn't 100% beef! It must've had some pork or something mixed in... Something like seventy percent pork and thirty percent beef, would be my guess."

- Yasuhiro speculating the contents of the meat in his hamburger.

Fanon
Many players were dumbfounded by the sheer absurdity of Yasuhiro's story, largely due to Yasuhiro's nonchalant reaction to the situation, as he was less concerned over what was an alleged alien abduction, and was more upset about being lied to that his hamburger wasn't all beef. Some consider it to be one of the most outrageous and hilarious moments of the series. It spawned multiple memes, and of course, a ship involving Yasuhiro and the hamburger that he had purchased was created as well.

The ship is one of the more popular cargo ships in the fandom, largely due to the memorability of the scene that inspired it. Although, it is not nearly as popular as other cargo ships like Hinata x Orange Juice or Hope Bagels. It is also worth noting that Yasuhiro wasn't fond of his hamburger after he learned the patties didn't contain all beef.
