Anzugie

Anzugie is the femslash ship between Anzu Kinashi and Kugie Kizuchi from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Canon
Anzu and Kugie have never met, and thus have no canonical relationship. As for similarities between the two, both are high school girls who were kidnapped, placed into the Death Game, and died in their First Trials. Their First Trials involved a time limit and them being restrained by a locked mechanism. Additionally, both have the same shade of pink as an element in their character design.

Fanon
As Kugie and Anzu have never met, the ship is considered a rarepair. Still, it seems to have a decent sized number of shippers. The ship didn't really surface until after Chapter 3-1A was released, as up until that point, Anzu was just a nameless victim. Since Kugie is a minor character and Anzu gets much less screen time than most other characters, that may be part of the reason they're shipped together, as it is somewhat of a common point between them. Additionally, with the reveal in Your Time To Shine that Kugie is attracted to women, femslash shipping in particular became more popular for Kugie.

With Kugie being confirmed to be in her first year of high school, it's also possible that Anzu is as well. While watching Anzu's victim video, Sara comments that she looks like a "middle-school, maybe high school student". Perhaps Anzu just looks young, but perhaps it implies that she's in her first year of high school as well, which would be another point in common between Kugie and Anzu that fuels their ship. Some also theorize that Anzu might attend the same school as Kugie, as her school uniform is currently unknown.

Although a lot of Kugie's personality, and Anzu's, for that matter, is unknown, they could likely compliment each other well. Kugie is characterized as a strong, speaks-her-mind kind of person who is convicted in herself. As for Anzu, she seems much more shy and unable to stand up for herself, despite doing her best to put herself out there. Kugie could also help Anzu cope with her inability to think about depressing situations and "the scary future." In terms of how their sprites look, Kugie's is much more rigid and straight-standing compared to Anzu's, who is always in a dynamic pose. This could be a contrasting but appealing way of how they look together, or add to each of their personalities and in turn compliment each other.

In Your Turn To Die, there are six highschoolers and they are often put together in a friend group for that reason. Anzugie being shipped sometimes comes out of it when popular pairings like Ryoko and Joe and Sara and Ranmaru are shipped first, as they are the other two left. Anzu and Kugie's notable rival ships are both with Sara Chidouin, them being Saranzu and Kusara.
