Kanallen

Kanallen is the slash ship betwen Allen Sugasano and Kanata Yatonokami from the Paradox Live fandom.

Canon
Allen and Kanata's relationship starts off badly at first due to them being rivals in a competition titled "Paradox Live". They first meet officially in person when Kanata bumps into Allen, soon after Allen has a trap reaction in front of Kanata, due to this Kanata takes the opportunity and steals his phantometal which Allen needed for his performance in the competition. After this event, Allen and his groupmate Anne go to Kanata's home, where he lives with his twin Nayuta, to ask for them to give back the phantometal. The two refuse despite Anne and Allen demanding for them to give back the phantometal, the two soon leaving, annoyed and upset. Eventually, thanks to Anne and Allen's other groupmate, Hajun, talking to the twins, they return the phantometal to Allen despite their hesitance and unwillingness.

Despite the bad start in their relationship, it is soon later fixed, when the two coincidentally meet at a hot spring. They bump into each other when searching for a rainbow stag beetle, Allen having found this beetle as the twins approach him and suddenly steal it out of his hands. Allen immediately asks the two why they are at the hot spring, whilst Nayuta calls Allen out for being rude and pointing at them, Kanata goes on to explain that they were both working part-time whilst Allen states that his group is training for the upcoming Paradox Live battle. Soon the three get into an argument over the stag battle due to the twins wanting to sell it whilst Allen claimed he needed it to gain good fortune, this leads to Kanata and Allen each taking a side of the box the stag beetle was trapped in and tugging it between the two, resulting in the beetle escaping. When chasing after the beetle Allen trips and grabs Kanata's wrist leading to them falling down a hill together and Allen falling on top of Kanata, Allen apologised for the incident, Kanata brushing it off.

Later on the same day when it has turned night Allen approaches Kanata, asking to talk, which Kanata agrees to. They are then seen having a conversation outside, Allen telling Kanata that he is happy they'll be facing off of stage once again. Allen states that he will fight for what's important to him, this is followed by Kanata asking Allen what is the most important thing to him, which Allen responds to, after thinking to himself for a moment, that proving himself with his music is the most important thing to him. Kanata responds to Allen's statement by telling him that he can't stand that side of Allen but then follows it up by saying that he is glad Allen's group is their opponent, stating that they'll beat Allen's group the next time they meet on stage. The two of them then make a promise to both give it their all when they compete against each other on stage.
