GalgaBeni

GalgaBeni is the het ship between Galgali "Violence Fiend" and Kobeni Higashiyama from the Chainsaw Man fandom.

Canon
Galgali, also called the Violence Fiend, and Kobeni Higashiyama are Special Division 4’s Devil Hunters. They appear together, when Galgali and Kobeni respond to Aki Hayakawa's request for reinforcements against the Bomb Devil. They arrive just in time to kick Reze off the fast moving car Denji is currently recovering in.

Sometime later, after a bounty is set on the head of Chainsaw Man, they patrol the streets together. When they encounter a devil, Kobeni hides behind the corner, Violence kills it, and then tells her it’s safe to come out. The Violence Fiend suggests they take a break after they hand in the devil’s corpse to Public Safety, and Kobeni enthusiastically agrees. Galgali buys her ice-cream and watches her eat it. Kobeni thanks him for treating her to food, which he, according to her, does often. Violence encourages her and tells her that he is forced to wear his mask, that's why he cannot eat himslef, but he makes up for it by watching her do it.

Kobeni tells Violence how she’s only ever had ice-cream once before that, and shares a story from her childhood, about how she was so happy to try her first serve that she started running, tripped, and her ice-cream went to waste. Galgali laughs and says it sounds very much like her. Kobeni admits that for the Violence Fiend he doesn’t seem very violent at all, and he tells her that he is not, because he still has a lot of his human brain intact. He tells her that he still remembers details of his childhood, but not how he died. They both agree on peace being a better option than violence.

When international assassins start arriving in Japan to kill Denji, Kobeni and the Violence Fiend work under Kishibe’s orders. He sends them both to the department store to take care of zombie-like humans, called the dolls. When they’re inside the building, Violence liquidates the dolls, without having to involve Kobeni in the fight. After he’s done with the enemy, he asks her if she’s alright. When all people and non-people present in the store get sent to Hell, Kobeni and the Violence Find are among them.

In Hell, all fiends are plunged into an odd state, and as Violence falls to the ground, Kobeni sits down to put her hand on his head and asks him what’s wrong. When the Darkness Devil arrives, Kobeni rises and pulls her hands into fists, ready to fight. None of the hunters or devils can put up to the Darkness Devil, and the Violence Fiend asks Kobeni to take off his mask and hide. She does that, Galgali fights relentlessly and dies. After that, Kobeni and some of her colleagues are revived, and she finally resigns from the Public Safety.

Fanon
The ship is rather popular with the Japanese fandom, especially when it comes to online art community Pixiv. Kobeni and Galgali's rather friendly dynamic and Galgali constantly caring about Kobeni's safety and well-being are what CSM fans enjoy about the relationship mostly. The tragic turn for Galgali made some fans imagine what the two could be up to, had Galgali survived. Some Chainsaw Man fans, who also watch and read Jujutsu Kaisen, compare GalgaBeni to MechaMiwa.
