Yumemisaori

"You've put in so much effort, Yumemi...You had natural talent, but you never relied on it, honing and refining yourself on a daily basis. That's what made me so attracted to you, Yumemi!"

- Saori to Yumemi.

Yumemisaori is the femslash ship between Yumemi and Saori from the Kakegurui fandom.

Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler
Yumemi and Saori are first shown together in episode 9. After Yumemi talked with the president of her fanclub, she goes back to the restroom and immediately washes her hand. After a while silence in the room, Yumemi completely loses it and screams that her fans make her sick. Seeing how desperate Yumemi is, Saori suggests that if her fans bother her that much, they could at least cancel the post-concert handshake event. Yet, Yumemi declines because she needs the event to get to know her fans on a personal level, so that she could get their support.

Next day, Yumeko shows up with Suzui to see Yumemi, but firstly they had to inform Saori about the meeting. After Saori allows the meeting, the three go to Yumemi's room, and meet Yumemi. Later, Yumeko eventually discovers that Saori has been recording her and Yumemi's entire conversation, including the part where Yumemi says that she hates her fans. Yumeko then takes the recorder away from Saori and leaves the room with Suzui, which leaves Saori completely devastated, thinking that Yumemi's career is now over. However, Yumemi tells Saori that there's still a chance to win, so there's no need to panic.

When the gamble, the "Battle of the Stars" then finally begins, Saori does her best to help Yumemi to win, but Yumeko still won against Yumemi. Deeply in fear about what would happen with Yumemi's dream after she lost, Saori begs Yumeko not let the audience hear the audio, because Yumemi's dream otherwise would be destroyed. Yumeko ask's Yumemi in turn if that is really what she wants. However, Yumemi say's that Yumeko should just release the audio, because her luck so or so has ran out. Yumemi then finally says her fans the truth. At first her fans were shocked, but then still cheered for her and admired her honesty. Afterwards, Yumeko and Yumemi sing a duet together.

After the duet is over, Yumeko wants to reveal the "villain" who forced Yumemi in retirement, but Saori screams that she has an idea. Saori then tells Yumemi that her dream is to make Yumemi's dream come true.
