Danganronpa/Ships

Amashinnaga
 Amashinnaga is the poly ship between Rantaro Amami, Korekiyo Shinguji and Angie Yonaga.

Canon
The three have only had one interaction in the canon, which is when Rantaro says he will end the game of death, to which Korekiyo asks him how he intends to do it. Angie says she will pray for Rantaro's success, but that if he was lying she would punish him, which Rantaro interprets as a threat, but remains calm about it. At first Korekiyo suspects that he just said that to calm Ryoma down, but Angie tells him that there's no way he could have known that.

Korekiyo showed great admiration for both Angie and Rantaro, but this is due to the fact that he admires humanity in general. Rantaro and Angie there are not many interactions in canon and there are no interactions UTDP, but Korekiyo has interactions with both. In Korekiyo and Rantaro's they talk about their travels and their sisters, while in Korekiyo's with Angie, Korekiyo commented on his interests in acting from a Christian point of view, which made Angie a little angry and said he would have pray not to face the judgement.

The three have opposite personalities, although they are seen as mysterious individuals, Rantaro seems to be more calm and carefree, Korekiyo is considered somewhat disturbing and cool-headed, while Angie is positive and cheerful. Despite the differences, Korekiyo shares common interests with both, Angie on areas of culture, art and religion, and Rantaro on world travel and the relationship between her sisters.

Fanon
Because Amaguji and Shinnaga are the most popular ships for Korekiyo, the poly has gained many shippers, they like the dynamic between a calm person, a serious and an agitated. Still, it's a rare pair in fandom, having only three stories on AO3 and nine posts on tumblr. Despite this, most prefer Korekiyo's solo ships with Rantaro or Angie, and the poly ship is overshadowed by more popular ones like Amashinsai.

Anime Perfect Memory
 Anime Perfect Memory is the het ship between Ryoko Otonashi and Ryota Mitarai.

Astronaut In The Ocean
 Astronaut In The Ocean is the het ship between Aoi Asahina and Kaito Momota.

Canon
Aoi and Kaito never met. They have in common that both are happy and optimist.

Fanon
Astronaut in the Ocean is a huge rarepair, overshadowed by their respective ships with Sakura and Maki.

Baking Soda
 Baking Soda is the slash ship between Kazuichi Soda and Teruteru Hanamura.

Canon
Teruteru and Kazuichi have almost no interactions in the Danganronpa 2 game. The only thing close to an interaction in Danganronpa 2 is when they spend some time together in one of the Chapter 1 Special Time Events, where they discuss how to slice open a coconut.

However, in Danganronpa 3's Despair Arc, which showcases their time in highschool together, they're shown to be friends with each other. Some of their notable interactions include Episode 6, where they tease Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu together for, despite being one of the most stand-offish students, coming to their homeroom teacher's welcome back party, as well as fantasizing together in Episode 7 about "Ryota" and Mikan's relationship (an example of their shared perverted personality). They also hug each other in fear during riots caused by the reserve course students, as well as appearing together in 2 of Danganronpa 3's ending credit scenes. At one point, Kazuichi gets confused by Teruteru's statement that Nagito Komaeda is within his "strike-zone" after the former complained about having to carry Nagito for so long.

Fanon
The ship's name is a play on Teruteru's culinary talent as the Ultimate Cook and Kazuichi's last name, which in the English localization is spelled as "Soda" instead of the Japanese "Souda." However, some people in the fandom still refer to Kazuichi as Kazuichi Souda, or simply "Souda", meaning the ship is oftentimes spelled as "Baking Souda".

The ship sailed as a result of both characters being among Danganronpa's most perverted ones. The fact that both boys with a similar personality came from the same cast also helped. As such, after Teruteru's death in Chapter 1, many fans wondered how Chapter 2 would turn out if Teruteru had lived long enough to potentially go with Kazuichi's plan to attend the girls' beach party, like Hajime did.

While Teruteru's ships tend to be unpopular due to his perverted personality and the character himself being rather unpopular, this ship is one of the most popular ones involving him. Nonetheless, it naturally loses in popularity to Kazuichi's main ships, such as Sounia, Soudam, Sonsoudam, or Soul Friends.

The ship is a minor one and as such doesn't get many fan fictions or fan arts dedicated to it. The two are sometimes also paired with the other perverted Danganronpa characters, Hifumi Yamada and Miu Iruma, with Hifuteru and Kazumiu both being more popular than Baking Soda.

Band Practice
 Band Practice is the het ship between Hajime Hinata and Ibuki Mioda.

Canon
Ibuki and Hajime seem to be good friends, and they bond during club activities that Ibuki comes up with during her Free Time Events. Also during her Free Time Events, Ibuki has been trying to help Hajime remember his talent. She insists that it should've been obvious what she was trying to do, but Hajime claims that he didn't even realize it, and was touched that she was trying to help him.

Ibuki often pokes fun at Hajime, saying that he has developed a crush on her or that he is sometimes looking for an excuse to be alone with her. Ibuki also gave Hajime some advice that even when people are constantly changing, either physically or otherwise, that they are always going to be their true selves and she made Hajime promise her that he will never give up on trying to find out his true self. In Hajime's official relationship chart, Ibuki states she wants him to be the drummer in her band and insists that the two are in a band, even teaching him lessons. However, according to Hajime, she only taught him how to use a loudspeaker. Hajime also said that, "When I was with her, all of my pain and suffering just seemed to melt away," referring to Ibuki.

Fanon
The ship sailed due Hajime's and Ibuki's friendly interactions with each other, Ibuki being implied to be romantic interested in Hajime in her Free Time Events and Island Mode helped. Many artworks feature both Ibuki and Hajime playing music together, the idea mostly comes from Ibuki wanting Hajime as her drummer, which she states in her official relationship chart. In fanfictions, Ibuki often helps Hajime remembering his talent, and in the time she helps him, Hajime and Ibuki fall in love with each other. Additionally, the ship also sailed because of the trope, which the ship falls perfectly into.

The ship isn't very popular because of the fact that there are other popular ships were this one gets overshadowed by, like Band Aid, Komahina, and Hinanami. Many people either see it as a friendship rather than as a romantic pairing. However, it still does have a small amount of supporters.

 Celehdam is the het ship between Celestia Ludenberg and Gundham Tanaka.

Canon

Celesaya
 Celesaya is the femslash ship between Celestia Ludenberg and Sayaka Maizono. AKA: Sayatia, Ludenzono, Maiberg, Celeszono

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

Celesjunko
 Celesjunko is the femslash ship between Junko Enoshima and Celestia Ludenberg. AKA: Celeshima, GothicGyaru, Chaotic Pigtail Squad

Canon
Despite being from the same game, Junko and Celestia never interacted, due Celeste dying before it was revealed that Junko was the Mastermind. The two also share no events in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan or Danganronpa S.

Something that both have in common is that both were willing to kill, and have killed, other people for the sake of a personal satisfaction. In Celeste's case, it was the promise of money, while in Junko's case, it was the chance to spread despair. Both are also intelligent, able to read people easily. Personality-wise, Celestia and Junko are rather dramatic and both have a temper when their plans fall apart. Both also are willing to accept defeat when necessary.

Fanon
They have similar hair choices, with both of them having long hair tied up in twin tails. While Junko's is more messy and unkempt, Celeste's is carefully styled. The careful decisions to maintain a specific aesthetic may attribute to Junko's former title as the Ultimate Fashionista and catch her eye for styling techniques. Junko and Celestia also have very popular character designs within the Danganronpa fandom. The two also wear some sort of accessory in their hair, Celestia wears an white lace-bonnet, while Junko has Monokuma hair pins.

Celesjunko is a rare-pair among the Danganronpa fandom, while not as popular as other ships for these two—Celesgiri and Celesgami for Celeste, and Junkan and Junkozuru for Junko. The pair do have a decent amount of fan arts and fanfictions on Archive Of Our Own. Some people ship them and wish that Celestia and Junko would have interacted more with each other. Whether in a Non-Despair!AU or not, Celesjunko is often portrayed in fanfictions as Junko being overly affectionate, almost and even to a toxic degree, while Celeste is more reserved, and sometimes hesitant, in her own affection towards Junko. Their extrovert/introvert tendencies with the same level of cunning makes for an interesting pairing. They may have opposite aesthetics, but they both require a similar amount of work into their appearance.

On AO3, the ship currently has 33+ works.

Trivia

 * GothicGyaru was dubbed because it references Celeste's aesthetic as well as Junko's Ultimate talent in Japanese, Super High School Level Gyaru, "gyaru," being a Japanese fashion subculture. In fact, Gothic Gyaru (or Goshikku) is its own subculture, and the ship name exists as is to differentiate from it.
 * Both girls are the only females confirmed to be the Blackened and executed in Trigger Happy Havoc, with Celeste being executed for being the Blackened in Chapter 3 for the murder of Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Hifumi Yamada, and Junko being executed for being the Blackened, being the Mastermind behind the Killing Game, in Chapter 6 for the murder of her sister, Mukuro Ikusaba.

Celeszuru
 Celeszuru is the het ship between Celestia Ludenberg and Izuru Kamukura.

Canon
Celeste and Izuru never met.

Fanon
Celeszuru is a huge rarepair.

Chabataka
 Chabataka is the het ship between Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Tenko Chabashira.

Canon
Due to the fact that they are in different games, there are essentially zero interactions between them. However, they do have one interaction in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan bonus mode. In it, Tenko keeps watch at the school festival's entrance, and encounters Kiyotaka. Tenko confronts him about having ulterior motives, which Kiyotaka denies, citing his membership of the public morals committee. Tenko begins to get flustered, and states that she believes he doesn't have any poor motives, but also refuses to accept him because he is male. Kiyotaka breaks down and cries about how it is impossible for him to change that. When Tenko suggests he work to become a girl instead, Kiyotaka breaks down even further.

Both characters have very strict moral codes imposed on them from someone they look up to. For Kiyotaka, it is his motivation to restore his family's name after his grandfather's scandal, sacrificing hobbies in his pursuit of redemption. Tenko meanwhile has no such tragedy, instead taking her aikido master's joke about hating men too seriously, and building her life around it. Even though Tenko is very much a misandrist at surface level, she is willing to accept men as good people, as shown with how she treats Shuichi Saihara in game. She promotes expressionism, which parallels Kiyotaka's belief in effort.

Fanon
Admittedly, due to several factors, such as Tenko's distrust in men, and the fact that they are in different games, this is not widely shipped. This ship is controversial due to both characters being commonly read as "gay-coded", with two other ships, Ishimondo and Tenmiko, remaining much more popular. People who do ship this believe that Kiyotaka's rule-abiding nature could shift Tenko's misandristic view of men, and possibly allow them to become good friends or more.

Chibuki
 Chibuki is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Ibuki Mioda.

Canon
Chihiro and Ibuki have never met. The only thing that they have in common is that both were victims. They are very opposite because Chihiro is very quiet and shy while Ibuki is very lousy and outgoing.

Fanon
Chibuki is a huge rarepair, overshadowed by their respective ships with Mondo and Mikan.

Chihina
 Chihina is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Aoi Asahina.

Canon
Chihiro is first seen by Makoto when he entered the main hall. When attempting to ask if they're all new students, Chihiro agreed. Aoi Asahina suggested they all introduce themselves, and when Chihiro did so, he admitted he found it embarrassing. Chihiro seemed to recognize Makoto and asked if they had met before, but Makoto denied it. Chihiro apologized because he assumed Makoto was upset with him, but Makoto reassured him that he wasn't. In order to become stronger, Chihiro said he would start working out. Sakura Ogami and Aoi asked him to go to the gym room to work out together. However, Chihiro declined their invitation in fear of having his secret revealed. He also brought the broken laptop that the group found in the library with him. After the deaths of Chihiro and Mondo, Aoi's mental health began to decline, crying alone in her room and falling into a depression. She decided to go to the Cafeteria in search of donuts to soothe herself, but on the way there she heard strange sounds coming from the changing room near the bathhouse. Cautiously investigating the noise, she approached one of the changing room lockers, where she saw a ghostly green image of what appeared to be the recently deceased Chihiro. In fear, she screamed and fled back to her room.

Chikuwada
 Chikuwada is the poly ship between Chihiro Fujisaki, Leon Kuwata and Mondo Owada.

Canon
In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, all three boys were participants of the Killing School Life. However, each of them ended up dying by the end of Chapter 2.

At the beginning of Chapter 3, the remaining students all investigate the third floor of the school, which had just become accessible to them. While looking around in the repository, Makoto Naegi finds a picture of Chihiro, Leon and Mondo laughing together, which obviously confuses him. It is later revealed that this picture had been taken two years earlier, back when they had all attended Hope's Peak Academy. This suggests that Chihiro, Leon and Mondo were all good friends with each other during their school time in Class 78th.

While the game suggests a friendship between the three, this is contrasted in the official artbook, with Leon and Mondo being shown to think negatively of each other on their relationship charts. Mondo believes Leon is a moron, while Leon thinks Mondo's style doesn't make him look popular. However, Chihiro is shown to think positively of both of them, saying that Leon has a lot of confidence, and that Mondo is pretty cool.

Fanon
The ship mainly sailed after the photo of them was discovered in Chapter 3. This led some fans to come up with their own theories about what their relationship was like before the Tragedy. This discovery is also what likely led to the creation of the ships Chileon and Mondoleon, as Leon had never previously been shown to be overly close with Chihiro or Mondo.

While there are some who like the ship, it tends to be overlooked in favor of Chishimondo, a much more popular poly ship that involves Chihiro and Mondo.

Canon
The two do not interact during the killing game, due to both their early deaths in the game, with Leon being executed in Chapter 1 for Sayaka Maizono's murder, and Chihiro being murdered by Mondo Owada during Chapter 2.

Before Chihiro's death in Chapter 2, he stated he felt extremely guilty for voting Leon to be executed, blaming himself for his death. Aoi Asahina denied his claim, telling him that it wasn't his fault that Leon died, and that it was good that Sayaka received justice with him getting executed for what he did. It is later revealed in Chapter 3 that the two appeared to be close friends in the past, due to Makoto Naegi finding a picture of the two, along with Mondo, hugging one another and smiling. Chihiro has also been shown to have looked up to Leon at some point, as in the Danganronpa 1.2 Reload Artbook, Chihiro positively mentions his high confidence and ambition.

When the announcement about the meeting in the gymnasium happened and they were gonna go to the gymnasium, Leon was leaving to go there then Chihiro said that he wanted to go with him.

The two do not have interactions with one another in the bonus mode, Ultimate Talent Development Plan in Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. However some fans hope that they will have interactions in the new Danganronpa game.

Fanon
The ship is not very well known among fans, due to both having no interactions, and their early deaths. This ship is overshadowed by both characters more popular ships with Sayaka and Mondo. Although, there is a small portion of fans who enjoy the pair. The ship is further fueled by the fact the two appeared close with one another. The two are often paired alongside Kiyotaka and Mondo, so some people ship this as a way to pair off the four.

Their contrasting personalities also helped further fuel the ship, as fans believe Leon's outgoing personality could help Chihiro be more confident about his gender and personality. Fans of the ship also believe that Leon could help Chihiro with 'training to become a man' instead of Mondo, under the circumstance he is busy. Leon does have some type of 'physical form' and could likely help Chihiro become stronger. The ship, despite not being well known by the fandom, has over 66 fan fictions on AO3, which is a lot for a small ship. The fan fictions which feature Chileon as the main pairing, are often fluff; Leon helping Chihiro with his lack of confidence and helping him stand up to his bullies. Though, most fan fictions with the tag mostly have the two as a side pairing while ships like Ishimondo are the main pairing.

Chimiu
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Chimiu is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Miu Iruma.

Canon
While Chihiro and Miu have never interacted in the main Danganronpa canon, due to them being from different games that take place at different times, in Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, it is stated that they, along with Kazuichi Soda, Yasuke Matsuda, Miaya Gekkogahara, and several unnamed upperclassmen and staff at Hope's Peak Academy helped contribute to making the virtual world the game takes place in a reality. Notably, Chihiro and Miu are the only 2 characters known to have been responsible for programming said world's layout.

Although the characters, disappointingly, don't share a single event together, during the game's prologue, Kazuichi tells Chihiro that if something is ever on his mind, he can come to either him or Miu about it, to which Chihiro replies he will remember to do in the future. Additionally, during an event with Kazuichi and Hiroko Hagakure, Chihiro mentions to the former that Miu is a better person to ask questions regarding hardware to than he; Kazuichi promptly hushes him at this point, not wanting their parents to start hearing “rumors.”

Despite quite a lot of clashing personality traits -Chihiro being very timid and soft-spoken, and Miu being very foul-mouthed and rude to others — the 2 have quite a lot in common, their similar ultimate talents resulting in similar interests being the most obvious example. Both characters also relate to feelings of insecurity and hiding their true selves, Chihiro due to his weakness complex and Miu due to her fear of abandonment, among other things.

Fanon
The most notable fanfiction featuring the 2 as a couple by far is Crit Fail's A New Hope, which tells the story of a killing game featuring the casts of all 3 mainline games. Throughout the fic, the two try to better themselves in a variety of ways for each other, with Miu trying to be a generally better, less unpleasant person for Chihiro, and Chihiro trying to become stronger and more reliable for Miu. This dynamic is a huge part of why those who like the ship enjoy it, believing the 2 could "fix" a variety of each other's flaws without ruining their good traits.

Chimiu is very much considered a crackship within the Danganronpa community, with many believing a relationship between the characters could never work due to their surface-level differences. However, the ship still has its fans, many of which having read A New Hope.

Daiyakure
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Daiyakure is the slash ship between Yasuhiro Hagakure and Daiya Owada. AKA: YasuDaiya, HiroDaiya

Canon
There are no canon interactions between these two characters, as Daiya has died a few years before the events of the first game, where Yasuhiro is first introduced. However, Yasuhiro is the oldest student of his class-being 21 when he first enters Hope's Peak, and Daiya is Mondo's older brother, making Yasuhiro relatively closer to his age instead of his classmates' age. The events of Ultra Despair Girls also imply that Yasuhiro's mom has taken an interest in Kiyotaka Ishimaru's father, making Yasuhiro essentially Kiyotaka's older step-brother, which makes both men older brothers of characters from Trigger Happy Havoc.

With Yasuhiro's spiritual powers and experiences and Daiya being dead, it's possible for the two to have somehow connected through Yasuhiro's attempts at clairvoyance. In Chapter 3 of Trigger Happy Havoc, as well as Chapter 5, Yasuhiro is shown to believe in (as well as somewhat fear) ghosts. This also adds to the potential for the two to have interacted at some point in the past.

Having been a quite serious biker gang leader who was passionate about protecting his gang and younger brother, Daiya's apparent personality contrasts greatly with Yasuhiro's more free and ditzy personality, making an appealing opposites attract concept. Also, unlike many of his classmates, Yasuhiro doesn't have another classmate he grows very close to, making him easily shippable with characters outside of the 78th Class.

Fanon
Daiyakure is a much lesser known ship in the fandom and was most likely the result of a joke. Not much is noted about how their relationship would work, but the fandom tries to fill it in, mostly playing off their opposites attract dynamic. Many people like to believe that the two may have went to the same school before the killing game, or even have dated before it. Fans of the ship also often portray it in one of two ways-either an AU where Daiya never dies and he and Yasuhiro meet and fall in love, killing game or not, or, since Yasuhiro has spiritual powers, him contacting Daiya as a ghost and coming to love him that way.

Due to Daiya being Mondo's older brother, Daiyakure is often a side pair in Ishimondo fics and content. This sometimes also results in Takaaki Ishimaru and Hiroko Hagakure being married, making Yasuhiro Kiyotaka's brother as well. Daiyakure is the most popular romantic ship for Daiya, his only other popular ship being the family ship with his brother. On Yasuhiro's side, it is rivaled by Asakure, which is with a more well known character, and YasuKanon, which has canon interactions between the two.

Ikuwada
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Ikuwada is the het ship between Mukuro Ikusaba and Mondo Owada. AKA: Mukurondo, IkuMondo, Owakuro, Motor Gun, Ikusabada, Owadusaba

Canon
Although the two never interacted in the game due to Mukuro being disguised as Junko Enoshima, as well as for her early death in game. The two share some similarities, they're both known to be fighters as Mondo shows a delinquent type of persona, meanwhile Mukuro is the Ultimate Soldier. It's unknown if the two interacted during the duration of two years of memory loss, but their desks were right next to each other. The two also sit next to each other at the dining table and are the only ones in the game who've used violence against Monokuma except Mondo doesn't get killed for breaking the rules and Mukuro does.

In Danganronpa: The Animation afterwards of Sayaka Maizono's murder, Mukuro is killed by Monokuma (who Junko operates) and Mondo is shown in distraught as she's stabbed by spears due to not following school regulations as she assaulted the headmaster. Mondo is shown placing his long overcoat over Mukuro's dead body afterwards, showing his respect towards her even being dead.

During Chapter 5 in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF storyline, Mukuro is saved by Mondo on a motorcycle Junko used for Mondo's execution in game. Junko is described as trying to injure her sister with the motorcycle, but luckily Mondo was on the motorcycle. Junko tries to make Mondo turn against Mukuro but he refuses. He states he can't let a girl get hurt, afterwards Mondo pulls Mukuro on the motorcycle in order to flee from the stampede of Monokumas.

They don't share a lot of similarities but what they have in common is that both have a family (with Mondo having his brother Daiya Owada and Mukuro having her young twin sister Junko Enoshima) that they killed or the family itself had killed them; with Mondo thinking that he killed his brother and in Mukuro's case her own young twin sister killed her while controlling Monokuma as result of Mukuro breaking the school rules. Furthermore, the person itself died later with Mondo being executed for killing Chihiro Fujisaki and Junko dying by her own execution after being found out as the mastermind by Makoto Naegi along with his other companions.

Fanon
The ship isn't very popular due to having much more popular rivals like Ishimondo and Naekusaba. Although the ship has a very small amount of supporters the amount of fan fictions on AO3 is very minimum and only has around eight stories at this time. Some of the ship's attention came from Mondo putting his coat over Mukuro's body in the anime.

Canon
Kaito and Miu have only had a few interactions in canon. They occasionally argue with each other during trials due to them both having extremely strong opinions about matters. As a result, they insult each other very often in Class Trials and other interactions.

In Chapter 4, Miu's original plan was to frame Kaito for her murder of Kokichi Oma. However, Kaito is shocked by Miu's death during the killing game, and is one of the few members of the class who doesn't disrespect her in some way after her death. He also told off anyone disrespecting her death during the investigation and such. As such, Kaito still sees Miu as a good person, even after her negative relationship with him when she was still alive.

Personality-wise, neither are very different from each other. They are both very rowdy, and are constantly yelling at people. They are both very extroverted, interacting with their classmates very often. Since they tend to hold very strong opinions, they get into arguments with others often, especially with each other.

Fanon
Kaito and Miu are mostly shipped together due to their similarly strong personalities, as well as their interests in scientific fields. Both go by a notable title that they refer to themselves regularly, with Miu calling herself the "gorgeous girl genius", and Kaito calling himself the "luminary of the stars". They are both loud and somewhat vulgar, and are often dismissed as not being very smart, despite both being skilled in fields that require a lot of intelligence. They also both have rivalries of some sort with Kokichi Oma. The reason these two are less popular is likely due to the popularity of other ships, such as Harukaito and Saimota, as well as Kiiruma, Irumatsu, and Irouma.

Nishichino
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Nishichino is the het ship between Kiriko Nishizawa and Sōsuke Ichino.

Canon
At one point during the Student Council's killing game, Kiriko approached Sōsuke with a shovel, shouting she's going to kill him. In a heat moment of self-defense, Sōsuke is forced to kill her with a spear. He then begins to cry after what he's done, saying that he loved her. The circumstance makes it seem that Kiriko wasn't aware of Sōsuke's feelings for her before the game.

It is likely that having just killed his crush triggered Sōsuke to kill Tarō Kurosaki and Tsubasa Kamii seconds after.

Quotes
"Why?! I loved you!"

- Sōsuke after killing Kiriko in self-defense in the subbed version of episode 7 of Despair Arc.

"Why did you make me do that?! I loved you! More than anything!"

- Sōsuke after killing Kiriko in self-defense in the dubbed version of episode 7 of Despair Arc.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Sosuke's canon attraction to Kiriko. It isn't that well known due to appearing on screen only for a couple of seconds, thus making it very forgettable. The fact that Sōsuke ended up killing Kiriko (albeit in self-defense) didn't help to increase the popularity of this ship either. The fact that, much like in Leosaya's case, the girl was also going to kill the boy before she failed also didn't help to endear the fans.

Nonetheless, it's the most popular shipping choice for both characters included. However, that's because both are extremely minor characters within the story, which results in them being rarely shipped. The fact that they die early after their debut on-screen also contributes to them being rarely shipped with each other or anyone at all, just like for every other Student Council member.

As a result of being a ship between two extremely minor characters, it doesn't get many fan fictions or fan arts dedicated to it. When it does, it's usually portrayed as a one-sided attraction with dynamics comparable to that of Leosaya or Sounia. Rarely, Kiriko is shown to return Sosuke's feelings.

Kizajin
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Kizajin is the slash ship between Koichi Kizakura and Jin Kirigiri from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Koichi was close friends with the deceased headmaster of Hope's Peak Academy, Jin Kirigiri. Koichi had known Jin for a long time, even before Jin had left his family. Although Koichi constantly annoyed Jin, he usually confided in Koichi about school and emotional problems, which Koichi would sometimes try to help with. Koichi was very loyal to Jin, respected him, and always trusted his judgment. He was also one of few people who could keep Jin calm.

In episode 11 of Despair Arc, seeing that things were taking a turn for the worse, Jin put his faith in Koichi, making him promise to protect his daughter if something befell him. Koichi was determined to keep this promise, especially after Jin's death, and ended up sacrificing himself for Kyoko. In his final moments, Koichi remembers taking a picture of Jin and Kyoko and tells Jin that he was able to keep his promise.

In the Danganronpa 3 relationship chart, Jin tells Koichi to work properly, Koichi telling Jin he understands.

Quotes
"Level-headedness has always been one of your strengths"

- Koichi complimenting Jin in the dubbed version of Episode 7 of Despair Arc.

"Hey, if anything happens to me, look after my daughter."

- Jin asking Koichi to protect Kyoko.

"Well, if it comes to that, I'll protect Kyoko with my life, Jin."

- Koichi making his promise to protect Kyoko to Jin.

"I'd never give her to you."

- Jin mockingly saying that he'd never let Koichi marry Kyoko.

"...I managed to keep... my promise... ...Jin..."

- Koichi Kizakura's last words.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Jin and Koichi's close friendship. Given how Jin left his family and Koichi was there to take a picture of him and young Kyoko Kirigiri, some fans believe these two were homosexual partners. Whether that was or wasn't the case hasn't been directly confirmed.

Komahinadam
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> 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.

Kuzusouda
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Kuzusouda is the slash ship between Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu and Kazuichi Soda.

Canon
At first, Kazuichi and the Ultimate Yakuza seem to be at each other's throats quite often. Kazuichi makes comments towards Fuyuhiko such as "If you didn't have that big Yakuza family, you'd be nothing but a midget!" Which, of course, is returned by Fuyuhiko's own sharp tongue. As time passes, though, their disagreement with each other seems to dissipate, and they become tolerant of one another, and eventually open up to one another as they survived the Killing School Trip.

In Chapter 4 of Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, they were sitting together on Monokuma's train.

In episode 2 of Despair Arc, they were playing a game together, along with Nagito Komaeda and Teruteru Hanamura. When everyone is under the effect of aphrodisiacs, Kazuichi sees this as his chance with Sonia. Fuyuhiko helps him control himself and zips up his zipper. In episode 6, Kazuichi points out to Chisa Yukizome that even Fuyuhiko, the Ultimate Yakuza who distances himself from everyone, decided to come to their party to welcome back their homeroom teacher.

In Nagito's world, Kazuichi, Fuyuhiko and Nagito were best friends, even going so far as to consider him his brother. After Kazuichi's death, Fuyuhiko wanted to avenge his death, trying to kill the murderer. Fuyuhiko even considered Kazuichi as a brother to him.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of the bromance between the two, which developed with time as the boys got to survive the Killing School Trip together. Fuyuhiko trying to help Kazuichi control himself after being fed with the aphrodisiacs helped the ship's popularity. The bromance was even more prominent in Nagito's illusionary world, which fueled the ship even further.

Although this ship is quite popular, it loses in popularity to both characters' main ships, such as Kuzupeko for Fuyuhiko and Soudam for Kazuichi.

The two are often shown together on promotional art, usually either along with Gundham Tanaka, Hajime Hinata, or Nagito Komaeda.

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.

Naekawa
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Naekawa is the het ship between Makoto Naegi and Toko Fukawa. AKA: Naegkawa, Naegawa, Naefuka, Good Luck Book, Lucky Book Guide, Tokoto, Paper Cut, Mako, Matoko, Toto, Tokakoto, Nawa, Naekawa, Fegi, Fukawagi

Canon
Makoto finds it difficult to talk to Toko, mostly because of her antisocial nature and the fact that Toko can be very accusative. Toko has expressed dislike for Makoto, saying she disapproves of him, but sometimes thinks of him as reliable. Makoto and Toko survive the Killing School Life together, and become members of the Future Foundation (although Toko is not an official member). In Ultra Despair Girls, it was shown that Toko warmed up to Makoto after the two left the academy.

In chapter 2 of Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, Toko goes to Makoto's dorm for help with Byakuya, and Makoto decides to come along with her at the library. Later on in the same chapter, Aoi Asahina starts worrying for Toko when she locks herself up in her dorm and calls Makoto and Byakuya Togami to help her come out. Makoto also starts worrying for Toko after a while and starts asking himself what's wrong with her before continuing on with the investigation.

Toko's bonus mode events are one of the few that are explicitly romantic.

In Ultimate Talent Development Plan during the summer sports festival, if the player chooses "I always want to pull the card on the right..." as Toko Fukawa, she will say that the best card was "Best Friend" but that she couldn't get something that doesn't "exist" but afterwards she'll ask Makoto to come along with her since he wasn't a perfect match but better than everyone else, he'll hesitate for a moment since he was doing scavenger hunt too, but in the end Toko forced Makoto to run with her to reach the goal.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of their friendly interactions in their Free Time Events. Both surviving the killing game has also helped. Nevertheless, the ship itself has some rivals in common that overshadows the ship such as Naegiri, Naezono,Togafuka, Tokomaru and Naegami.

Owahina
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Owahina is the het ship between Mondo Owada and Aoi Asahina.

Canon
Mondo and Aoi don't have too many interactions, due to Mondo's fairly early death, but they do stand next to eachother a lot for the times that they he is alive. The two were both classmates together at Hope's Peak Academy. Mondo has expressed to Makoto how he has trouble getting girlfriends and Aoi has expressed that she has trouble getting boyfriends.

Fanon
Owahina mostly sailed because the two stand next to eachother during the class trials. Besides that, the fact that both of them have relationship troubles makes them an easy pairing.

Trivia

 * The two characters stand next to each other during the class trials.
 * In two different alternate endings, both characters escape together.

Princess Pop
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Princess Pop is the 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.

Ranmiko
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Ranmiko is the het ship between Rantaro Amami and Himiko Yumeno. AKA: Yumami, Ameno, Magical Adventurer, Genshin Impact, Magical Mystery, Himitaro, Ranmeno, Yumentaro, Avocadabra, Amamiko, Magical Avocado

Canon
Although the two never interacted in-game due to Rantaro's early death, they both were part of Kaito Momota's strategy team meeting. During Rantaro's body discovery she was one of the very few students who weren't in complete shock. But in Chapter 6, during the final investigation, Himiko and Shuichi discover a USB drive in Rantaro's Ultimate lab that was hidden away in a safe which included Rantaro's video message for himself before he lost his memories, afterwards watching the video message Himiko wonders why Rantaro would do something so stupid (join another killing game and survive).

They mainly interacted in Danganronpa V3's Anthology Series in Volume 2, Chapter 7, "Magical Training for Adulthood" by Itagaki Hako, as where Himiko falls down and a concerned Rantaro goes and helps her by bandaging some of the scrapes on her leg due to falling. Himiko tells Rantaro that he's really used to treating injuries like these and Rantaro answers back due to him having a lot of younger sisters, also Rantaro answers that Himiko reminds her of his little sisters. In order to repay Himiko plays hide and seek with Rantaro. Eventually Rantaro finds Himiko doing a magic trick in the gym. Worried, Rantaro is afraid for Himiko's safety as she's in a much higher place than usual and Rantaro is afraid she might fall from the place and constantly asks her if she's okay at a higher place. Himiko suddenly starts falling, but luckily Rantaro rescues her in time due to his adventurous skills from his travels.

Fanon
The ship sailed due to Himiko being reminded as Rantaro's younger sisters in the anthology series. The ship isn't very popular due to having other major ship rivals like Amamatsu and Tenmiko, but a few feel like that Himiko and Rantaro would have a little sister and big brother type of bond instead rather than a romantic one due to Rantaro being a big brother to his twelve younger sisters as he always takes care of them also since Himiko tends to be childish in the game. This ship has a very small amount of supporters due to other popular rivals.

Some similarities they share are both losing the people they loved so suddenly before the killing game started, Rantaro was somehow losing all twelve of his sisters all around the world meanwhile Himiko's was losing her master. However, it's unknown if their respective important people truly exist due to this being a fabricated past caused by the mastermind.

Canon
Shuichi and Kyoko have no interactions in canon. They are both Ultimate Detectives and are the implied love interests for the main characters of their games. Their only direct interactions remain in the non-canon mode Talent Development Plan in New Danganronpa V3, where they both go to Hope's Peak Academy at the same time with Kyoko presumably being Shuichi's upperclassman.

Quotes
"I apologize for having such a negative attitude earlier. Thank you for encouraging me."

- Shuichi to Kyoko in the Ultimate Talent Develpoment Plan.

"I thought *I* was young to start working as a detective... You're incredible, Kirigiri-san."

- Shuichi to Kyoko in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan.

Fanon
With both Kyoko and Shuichi never interacting in the main plot, and just having one event in the Ultimate Talent Develpoment Plan, the ship is a rare-pair within the Danganronpa fandom and doesn't have a big fanbase. The two are mostly shipped together because both Shuichi and Kyoko are known as Ultimate Detective in their respective games. Another reason Saigiri is shipped is because Kyoko is very confident in herself, while Shuichi isn't very self-confident, which led to some people headcanoning that Kyoko would help Shuichi with his self-confidence problems, which also is a popular theme in fanfictions about the two.

The Danganronpa fandom jokes about Shuichi being Makoto and Kyoko's child. Although this is non-canon and most likely impossible to be true, some people still believe it's a true theory and are critical against the ship. Despite the ship being such a minor one, there is quite a bit of fanart including Kyoko and Shuichi, mostly Kyoko and Shuichi are seen to solve a case together, or sometimes they are drawn with the other protagonists and implied love interests of the other Danganronpa games.

Both Kyoko and Shuichi have much more popular ships, for Kyoko it's her ships with Celestia and Makoto while Shuichi has more popular ships with Kaede and Kokichi. These ships highly overshadow Saigiri and contributed to the ship becoming nonexistent within the Danganronpa fandom. However, some people see the ship has potential due to their matching talents and fairly different personalities (Shuichi being a meek amateur detective in comparison to the cool-headed, more experienced Kyoko). On AO3, the ship currently has 14+ romantic works and 42+ gen works.

Trivia

 * Both of them have a body part that they try their best to hide. In the first chapter of V3, Shuichi wears a hat to hide his eyes after a previous case made him hesitant to look people in the eyes, and Kyoko wears gloves to hide her scarred hands.

Saimeno
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Saimeno is the het ship between Shuichi Saihara and Himiko Yumeno.

Canon
Shuichi and Himiko are the two of three final survivors in the killing game from Danganronpa V3 (the third being Maki Harukawa). They seem to be friends, as they're supporting and are nice to each other, although they were never shown to interact in the romantic way, so their relationship is canonically platonic.

Despite being fellow survivors of the Killing School Semester, the two rarely interact in the main story. This is because Shuichi mostly hangs out with Kaede, Kaito, and Maki, whereas Himiko mostly hangs out with Angie and Tenko. In Chapter 4, Himiko, along with everyone else, mistakes Shuichi for a masochist due to taking orders from Kaito, and a loner while he was investigating the maps. However, much like everyone else, she knows she can rely on Shuichi at the Class Trials, which she expresses before the trial of the same chapter. In the last chapter, the two work together, along with K1-B0, Maki, and initially Tsumugi, to end the killing game. In the Epilogue, Shuichi helps Himiko get out of debris left after the academy's destruction.

In their Free Time Events, the two mostly talk about magic, with Himiko constantly telling Shuichi that her magic is real. Shuichi comforts Himiko about the disappearance of her mentor, telling her that after his failure he went to train his magic tricks in order to be able to perform with her again.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of some fans wanting to pair the surviving characters together, especially since there were so few of them this time. Both going through the loss of someone important to them has also helped. However, with Saimaki sharing the same traits and having more friendly interactions together, this one is less popular than the former. Sometimes they're shipped together as the Surviving Trio.

However, this ship still loses in popularity to both characters' main ships, such as Saimatsu or Tenmiko. The primary reason, aside from the limited number of interactions between the two, appears to be Himiko's lolita design, which makes some fans uncomfortable to ship the two together despite them being the same age.

Seesaw Effect
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> 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.

Serial Dating
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Serial Dating is the het ship between Sonia Nevermind and Korekiyo Shinguji.

Canon
Though the two never meet in the canon of the Danganronpa franchise, there are a few things that correlate between these two. Both Sonia and Korekiyo show avid interest in other people, Sonia for the sake of growing accustomed to other cultures, and Korekiyo for his pursuits in anthropology.

Furthermore, Sonia seems to have an avid interest in serial killers, going so far as to share her knowledge of Genocide Jack and Sparkling Justice during the second chapter of Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, much to the confusion of others. During the third chapter of Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony, it is revealed that Korekiyo himself is a serial killer who murders others in order to send friends to his departed sister.

During Ultimate Talent Development Plan, the two have an interaction while Korekiyo runs the Haunted House event. In the option labeled, 'I did not expect to find royalty here,' Sonia approaches Korekiyo and expresses that she intends to make two laps around the school's premises. Korekiyo compliments her enthusiasm, asking if attending festivals is rare for someone of her status. Sonia admits that she prefers to attend such events as a student, for she only attends academies for business purposes back in her country. She elaborates further about having to cut 'the largest skong' to begin the annual festivals, to which Korekiyo expresses an interest in this tradition, as well as a desire to visit her country.

Fanon
This ship sailed due to the similarities and correlations existing between Sonia and Korekiyo. Sonia's admiration of serial killers as well as her existence as a foreign person of power are believed by some to be qualities that would draw them towards each other.

Often overshadowed by Korekiyo's canon interest in his sister, as well as Sonia's love triangle, it is believed by some that under the pretext of a universe like Ultimate Talent Development Plan in which the two attend the same school and exist within the same universe, they could have become close.

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.

YasuKanon
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> YasuKanon is the het ship between Yasuhiro Hagakure and Kanon Nakajima.

Canon
In Ultra Despair Hagakure light novel, Kanon travels with Yasuhiro, after saving him from Monokumas. She gives him the nickname "Yasu". After finding out that he's from Future Foundation, Kanon had a desire to kill Yasuhiro. However, he isn't anything like what she thought a member of Future Foundation would be. The more she talked to him, the less she wanted to kill him. However, she attempts to kill him after finding out that he has read her pocketbook.

Kanon sees Leon in Yasuhiro and even though she knows he is a member of the Future Foundation, aiming for her father's money and "totally lame", she eventually realizes that she doesn't hate Yasuhiro and doesn't want him to die simply because of that. When Yasuhiro saves Kanon from Masaru Daimon and Kotoko Utsugi, she offers to give the rest of the Future Foundation a chance. While Kanon is less forgiving toward the other Future Foundation members, she is ready to give them a chance if they turn out to be good people like Yasuhiro. Although he makes fun of her Gyaru speech pattern, he starts to treat her like royalty after finding out that her family is rich and might be able to help him pay off his large debts.

Yasuhiro is disturbed and afraid of Kanon after finding out that she is trying to kill members of the Future Foundation. Even after she tries to kill him, he still saves her from certain peril. The two have grown close during their traveling and Kanon admits that she doesn't want to kill Yasuhiro anymore. In the end, Yasuhiro stays with Kanon, claiming that it's for the sake of solving his debt.

Fanon
This ship isn't too well known due to originating from a side material, a light novel titled "Ultra Despair Hagakure" which is included as a bonus feature after completing Ultra Despair Girls game. Those who know about it tend to prefer it over Kanon's other ship, Lenon, due to Kanon's unhealthy obsession with Leon as well as the two being cousins. It is one of Yasuhiro's ships that is not very well-known in the fandom.

YasuKanon is also the most written Kanon's ship on AO3.
