Junaichigo

Junaichigo is the het ship between Jun Sakurada and Hinaichigo from the Rozen Maiden fandom.

Canon
Jun cares very deeply for Hinaichigo and is always trying his best to make her feel better, or protect her in any sort of way. Multiple times, he has stated that he will protect Hinaichigo no matter what, and he definitely does. During the events of Rozen Maiden episode 13, Jun fought hard against Suigintou’s feathers in order to retrieve Hinaichigo’s arm. He later repaired her, and she became even better than before because of his magical sewing powers, that could sort of rewind the time. Jun often blushes around Hinaichigo, or sometimes just at thought of her.

History
As the very first doll that Jun meets, he is often seen as a slave rather than a master to Hinaichigo. He is forced to fetch her strawberries, most commonly, hit on the foot or in the face with either her cane or hair. Despite this, they are very close, and Jun is shown to have feelings for Hinaichigo. He loves her very much and tries his best to save her and keep her happy. She is usually the first doll he thinks about.

Jun’s feelings for Hinaichigo first started when he began to spend more days with her, it is unclear which episode they start in, we can see signs as early as episode 3. Soon, they are addressed and confirmed in episode 6, and are shown mostly in episode 7, 11, 12 and 13 of season 1. However the rest of the season has many other scenes and moments that shows this as well.

Throughout the next 3 seasons, Jun’s feelings become stronger and more beautiful, and he and Hinaichigo soon get closer, spending more and more time together, which causes Suiseiseki to become very jealous of Jun. Eventually, in the last season (Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen), Jun saves Hinaichigo’s life, and she ends up developing feelings for him as well.

At the end of Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen, he confesses his feelings for her and they develop into a beautiful relationship, much to Suiseiseki and Tomoe’s dismay.

 Rozen Maiden 

In the first season (Rozen Maiden) Hinaichigo starts out by behaving very demanding towards Jun. She would demand a bowl strawberries everyday, and scream at Jun, or hit him, if he did not listen to her, or obey her. Jun was very annoyed by this, and Hinaichigo found Jun exhausting. Despite all of this, Jun began to develop feelings for Hinaichigo, due to her wise, strong, and kind hearted, lady like part of her personality, which was quite different to her demanding. Hinaichigo is very demanding and rude, but still, she is kind to her fellow dolls, and very polite and ladylike. This made Jun start to blush and care for her.

In Episode 6, Hinaichigo tried to bring up Jun’s feelings for her. She didn’t quite understand that he was in love with her, but she could sense something. After this, Jun caught Hinaichigo in his arms, and jumped to save her. Later after this, he began to drive to protect her.

In Episode 7, Hinaichigo fell asleep and Jun was broken hearted that he couldn’t help her wake up. Eventually she woke up and Jun was delighted, but Hinaichigo only teased him for caring about her so much.

In Episode 11, Jun, Hinaichigo and the other dolls, were asked to take part in the play of Snow White. Hinaichigo was Snow White, Shinku was the Evil Queen, and Suiseiseki and Souseiseki were the dwarves. Later Jun was asked to kiss Hinaichigo, since he was the prince. This caused him to blush furiously, and start to scream and yell, in a flustered manner. After that, Jun walks downstairs to see the dolls in their undergarments, he blushes, but thinks that he’s lucky it’s not Hinaichigo. Later, though, Hinaichigo comes into his room, with an issue about her cuff on her dress, and asks Jun to sew it. Hinaichigo takes off her dress, and Jun gives her a shirt to wear, since she is only in her undergarments. This causes Jun to blush heavily and stare at Hinaichigo, who comments on his excellent sewing.

in Episode 12, and 13, Jun and Hinaichigo must run around the different Dreams, trying to fight Suigintou. Before Hinaichigo leaves, she gives Jun a kiss on the cheek, while he sleeps. In the end, Jun has to sew on Hinaichigo’s arm, and runs through Suigintou’s feathers to protect her. Hinaichigo becomes repaired and better than new, because of Jun’s magic. Then, they sit up on the small hill, and Jun brushes Hinaichigo’s golden hair. Hinaichigo states that Jun’s dream is better now, and that it is an honour for him to be able to brush her hair.

Fanon
In Rozen Maiden it is the most written ship for both characters and the most popular ship within the fandom. In fact, across all fansites involving the show, it is the most popular pairing. When written or drawn, it is usually paired with SuiHina as a side pairing.

Some fans believed that Hinaichigo also liked Jun from the beginning, but she was just better at hiding it. However, this theory has been proven wrong, because in Rozen Maiden: Zurückspulen, Hinaichigo started developing feelings for Jun, and fans saw that this was when she really started to develop feelings for him.

Jun and Hinaichigo may be a very popular ship, however, there are some Rozen Maiden fans that prefer to ship Hinaichigo with Jun’s rivals, instead. Most of these people dispute heavily with the Junaichigo fans. They believe that SuiHina, Tomoichigo or Kirakigo was the ship that should have been the end couple and find it incredibly irritating that Jun won. Because of this, there are many arguments over who should end up with Hinaichigo, but the majority have chosen Junaichigo, with SuiHina following closely behind. SuiHina is Junaichigo’s biggest rival ship.
