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.

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.

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.

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.

Fanon
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.

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.

Chileon
 Chileon is the slash ship between Leon Kuwata and Chihiro Fujisaki. AKA: Cyberpunk, Sporty Programs, Mario Kart, EA Sports

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.

Some people liked to ship Chisa and Juzo as het due the fact that they are friends and their opposite personalities, but when it was revealed that Juzo is gay, many people abandoned the romantic ship and started shipping them as friends. In AO3 the ship has 20+ gen works and only 2 romantic works.

Daiyakure
 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.

FAN FICTION

Hanezono
 Hanezono is the femslash ship between Ayaka Haneyama and Sayaka Maizono. AKA: Ultimate Pop Friends, Sayama, Haneyaka, Ayazono

Canon
Prior to the Tragedy, Sayaka and Ayaka were members of a famous idol group in Japan. The two have been performing together since they were both very young, with Sayaka acting as the group's lead vocalist, while Ayaka assumed a corner position, much to her concern. Despite this, the two seemed to greatly enjoy their time together in their group, and always appeared to be happy and cheerful.

While little is known about the relationship between the two girls, they were apparently very close friends, as Sayaka states that everyone in her group means a lot to her, and that she views them as family, but also rivals in a way. Ayaka, along with the other members of their group, appeared in a video recording that was used to motivate Sayaka into committing murder as part of the Killing School Life. This motive ended up working, but Sayaka's plan backfired when her target overpowered and killed her themselves.

Ayaka would later become a target of the Warriors of Hope's Demon Hunting, where she was planned to be killed alongside other close friends and family members of the participants of the Killing School Life. Being selected over the other three members in their idol group may suggest that Ayaka was the closest to Sayaka. Ayaka managed to survive, but it is unknown if she is aware of Sayaka's fate.

Fanon
The ship is incredibly obscure and not very popular at all in the fandom. This is largely because very little is known about Ayaka and her relationship with Sayaka, even though she is more prominent than the other members of their idol group. There is also little that suggests that Ayaka was any more important to Sayaka than the other members of their group.

While the ship is undoubtedly the most popular for Ayaka, it easily loses to many of Sayaka's more popular ships, such as Ikuzono, Kirizono, Leosaya, and Naezono.

Trivia

 * Both Sayaka and Ayaka have very similar-sounding first names, both containing "ayaka."
 * Both Sayaka and Ayaka are described as having a sweet scent, a trait that is likely shared by all of the members of their idol group, due to an expensive perfume.
 * Ayaka's addition as Sayaka's hit list target was apparently a last minute change, as the artbook depicts Sayaka's target as being her younger sister. This character was most likely scrapped because the developers realized that giving Sayaka a sibling would contradict her statement of being an only child.

Harushira
 Harushira is the femslash ship between Maki Harukawa and Tenko Chabashira. AKA: TenMaki, Chabakawa, Bangladesh Flag, Deadly Attack, Training Buddies, Haruko, Haruten, ChabaMaki, Aikido Assassin, Sneak Attack, Red And Green, Hair Twins, Chabukawa, Harubashira, MaTenko, Chakawa, Death Match, Assassination Dojo, Karate Murderer, Energetic Roll, TenAki, Cagged Child, HaruEnko, Makienko, ChaMaki, Murderous Elimination, Killer Aikido, Murderous Energy, Solar Power, Powerful Weapon, Among Us, Sunshine & Clouds, Haruchaba

Canon
Maki and Tenko were both students of the Ultimate Academy of Gifted Juveniles and took part in the killing game. Though, not many interactions are shared between them in game. However, in Chapter 3, Tenko seeks Shuichi and Maki for help to put a stop to Angie's spirit ritual.

However in Tenko's Danganronpa V3 Ultimate Talent Development Plan event, she teams up with Maki for a three-legged race. Tenko tells Maki that having her help is like having the help of 100 people, and encourages both of them to win. Maki comments Tenko was really pumped up and she didn't plan on holding back. Tenko then says she looks calm and competitive, and that she could definitely rely on Maki. While she brushed it off, Maki told her to assume whatever she wanted. Tenko did just that and states if it's them, going to the top would be a piece of cake.

Fanon
This ship doesn't have many supporters compared to other ships like Tenmiko or Harukaito.

Though, both characters do have some similar traits. Both characters have powerful strength (Maki being the Ultimate Assassin and Tenko being the Ultimate Aikido Master). Also, both have their hair styled into two long twin-tails and both are attired in sailor uniforms.

Maki has more of a serious personality and Tenko is more cheerful.

Hinakawa
 Hinakawa is the femslash ship between Aoi Asahina and Toko Fukawa.

Canon
Toko would usually direct cruel remarks toward Aoi, calling her “stupid swimmer” and “brainless mermaid”. Toko was very furious when Aoi slapped Byakuya and began to argue with her the next day about Sakura. She also made many sexual and degrading jabs about her appearance. In spite of this, when her younger brother Yuta dies, Toko is reluctant to deliver the bad news to Aoi, for fear of upsetting her.

Hope Bagels
 Hope Bagels is the cargo ship between Nagito Komaeda and bagels.

Canon
Nagito has never been seen eating or mentioning bagels in canon.

Quotes
"Hi, I'm Nagito Komaeda. My talent is Ultimate Bullshit and I love bagels."

- Nagito's English Voice Actor, Bryce Papenbrook

Fanon
The ship as well as a meme emerged as a result of NicoB's apparently out-of-nowhere joke, which eventually got promoted into a running gag. Inspired by Aoi Asahina's love for doughnuts, NicoB decided that bagels will be Nagito's favorite food, which he brought up several times in his gameplays.

According to Nagito in NicoB's series, bagels represent hope. Their opposite are waffles, which represent despair. Nagito's love for bagels is brought up not only in NicoB's gameplays and reaction videos featuring the character, but also his fan made series: Council of Voices. For example, in its third episode, Nagito's suggestion for a Bagel theme for the VoiceComing Dance wins and is executed until Monokuma interrupts it with his Despair Blits song (and waffles). In Episode 6, while talking to Byakuya Togami, Nagito once again compares hope to bagels, and despair to waffles.

It's also believed that the ship originates from Nagito's death. He has a spear going through him, making him look like a bagel, with one hole in the center.

The meme became very popular over the time. In fact, it appears to be the most popular Danganronpa meme. It's sometimes acknowledged and used by the other Danganronpa Let's Players. It was so popular that it was even acknowledged by Nagito's English voice actor, Bryce Papenbrook, and the studio behind the Danganronpa games, Spike Chunsoft.

The name of the ship comes from Nagito often comparing bagels to hope in NicoB's Council of Voices series. It also mixes this cargoship with Nagito's canon obsession with hope.

Irumaki
 Irumaki is the femslash ship between Miu Iruma and Maki Harukawa from the Danganronpa fandom.

Fanon
Miu has always been quite vulgar, so she tends to repel people sometimes. Maki on the other hand is more standoff-ish, her whole demeanor being either hostile or uninterest, as well as her normally looking/acting annoyed around others which causes them to feel their presence is unwanted. Both are a case of misunderstanding. Miu, while her choices of expressing it may not be the best, is actually quite soft, despite her often expressing/implying she's uncapable of it due to her intelligence and supposed superiority. It's implied she hides her softer side as a means of defense as not to seem weak. It's also semi-proven that she uses this vulgar side of her so people give her more attention (outside of her inventions), as it seems to be something she lacks. Like Miu, Maki's demeanor is used as a defensive system. Being an assassin, you have to be completely detached from your victims to kill them, and as everyone around her could be a potential opponent, she feels the need to keep her guard up at all times.

Kaemaru
 Kaemaru is the femslash ship between Komaru Naegi and Kaede Akamatsu. AKA: AkaMaru, Komaede, KaEgi, NaeMatsu, Piano Luck, Bland Song, Boring Piano, Simple Melody, Simple Song, Average Keys, Average Notes, Simply Piano, KaemMatsu, AkaNaegi

Canon
Komaru and Kaede have never canonically interacted, as they both come from two different entries in the series.

In Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, Komaru borrows a recital CD from Kaede. Komaru praises her music, saying that despite not being a fan of classical music, her performance was so great that it made her cry. In another event, Kaede watches Komaru's juggling performance at the festival and brings her juice from her own stand, and Komaru comments on how nice it is having friends on the trip with her.

The two share many similarities, most notably their protagonist statuses. Komaru was the protagonist of Danganronpa: Another Episode, and Kaede Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. They are also both very optimistic in their roles. This also ties into a difference, however, as Komaru was very unsure of herself at first, and considered herself "bland" and "boring" while Kaede was always optimistic, and believed that everything would be alright even when her life was threatened. They also both have close friends they consider very important to them, Komaru's being Toko Fukawa and Kaede's being Shuichi Saihara.

Fanon
Kaemaru is not popular in the fandom, due to the fact that Komaru and Kaede have never canonically interacted. It is also highly overshadowed by more popular ships involving the two, such as Tokomaru, Saimatsu, and Irumatsu. It still has some supporters, however.

The ship sailed mainly due to the girls' similarities. Its supporters believe that they would get along well, being the only female protagonists of their series. It is sometimes portrayed as a friendship as well, alongside the rest of the protagonists.

Kaiibouma
 Kaiibouma is the poly ship between Kaito Momota, Kokichi Oma, and K1-B0. AKA: Momouiibo

Canon
The trio features very frequently across the third game, with two major dynamics: Oumota and Kiibouma. Kokichi and Kaito are shown to be rivals throughout the game, and Kokichi is known to tease K1-B0 a large amount. Kaito and K1-B0 rarely interact however, which mildly lowers the ship's canon weight. The three all made it to Chapter 5, and all managed to become fan favorite characters.

Fanon
The three are all featured in major ships with Shuichi Saihara, and their dynamics with him often lead to him being included in the ship. Within these ships, Kokichi retains his jokey personality, but seemingly desires to be with Shuichi. Kaito acts as an older brother figure to Shuichi, and K1-B0 just desires a romantic bond. It is believed that the dynamics would remain the same in this ship. Proponents of the ship like to think that the trio would just be best friends in a non-killing game universe, and go on various misadventures. Their clashing personalities would lead to humorous dialogue exchanges.

They could also be thought of as 'adopted siblings' in a sense, with Kaito being the eldest, K1-B0 being the middle, and Kokichi being the youngest. This AU headcanon lends itself well to their dynamic.

Kizajin
 Kizajin is the slash ship between Koichi Kizakura and Jin Kirigiri.

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
The two barely have any interactions. However, the two manage to have a few in the 3rd and first chapter. In the first trial, Celestia wonders if anyone has any questions, and Aoi responds saying she does, however in response Celestia seems disappointed. In chapter 3, Once Makoto, Aoi Asahina, and Celestia had discovered Hifumi's supposed dead body, Aoi felt sick and was taken to the bathroom by Celestia while Makoto left to tell the others on the 3rd floor who had discovered Kiyotaka's body that Hifumi was dead. Later in the Trial, Aoi and Yasuhiro did not understand why she wanted to commit murder when she was the one who preached having to "adapt" to their new lives, and so Celestia gave them an answer.

Princess Pop

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.

= Sakushiro = <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Sakushiro is the het ship between Kenshiro and Sakura Ogami from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
According to Sakura, she and Kenshiro were lifelong rivals. Despite multiple attempts, Sakura could never defeat him in battle. The two grew closer overtime, and Sakura would eventually develop romantic feelings for Kenshiro, describing him as her "first love." However, she was embarrassed by this, as she felt it wasn't appropriate for a fighter like her to have a crush. Kenshiro assured her that it was okay for her to have a feminine side, and he also supported her goal of becoming the strongest person in the world.

Sakura later reveals that Kenshiro was diagnosed with a terminal illness that gave him six months to live. Sakura would only visit him once, and found that the illness had drastically weakened him and changed his appearance. While in his weakened state, Kenshiro passed on the title of "strongest person in the world" to Sakura, and told her to not let anyone take it from her. He promised that one day he would return to reclaim it after he got better. Sakura vowed to hold onto the title until that day, and Kenshiro gave her the red scarf she is always seen wearing as proof of their vows.

While the two are never explicitly stated to be lovers, it is heavily implied that Kenshiro returned Sakura's feelings. In Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc IF, it is stated that along with the rematch that Kenshiro promised Sakura "something more" as well, indicating a potential romantic relationship after he recovered and if Sakura defeated him. As Sakura doesn't disclose anymore to anyone, or at least anyone in the viewer's eye.

Quotes
"That's right. My lifelong rival. And... My... My first love."

- Sakura begrudgingly admitting to Makoto Naegi that Kenshiro was her first love.

"Well, in certain ways. Your build is ovbiously very different, but you both have a strong core."

- Sakura comparing Makoto to Kenshiro, stating they both have a "strong core."

Fanon
Despite its heavy canonical implications, Sakushiro isn't greatly popular in the fandom. This is likely due to the popularity of Sakuraoi, along with the fact that Kenshiro is only mentioned during Sakura's Free Time Events. Also, Kenshiro never physically appeared in the series. Despite this, it can still be considered one of Sakura's most popular shipping choices, as she doesn't have many. This is also one of Kenshiro's most popular shipping choices, as he also does not have many.

Trivia

 * The ship is one of several relationships in the series that are often the topic of discussion during a character's Free Time Events. Some others include Kuzupeko and Shingujicest.

Sayakura
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Sayakura is the femslash ship between Sayaka Maizono and Sakura Ogami.

Canon
Sayaka and Sakura are very different characters at first glance, but there are some similarities between them. They are both athletic, (though Sayaka's is more hypothetical), and have feminine personalities. Sayaka has embraced her femininity and became an idol, but Sakura has repressed hers, and trained to become strong instead. Sakura is embarrassed about her feminine side, and thinks she'll be laughed at if it is revealed.

The two characters have a short interaction in the non-canon Ultimate Talent Development Plan bonus mode, in which Sayaka and Sakura are on the volleyball team. Sayaka mentions that she feels calm having Sakura with her, but says that she wants to help out as well. Sakura responds saying that she is not used to team events, and appreciates that Sayaka is enthusiastic about helping. Sayaka then tries to boost morale by saying to try as hard as they can.

Fanon
Sayakura is a rare-pair, as the characters have very little interaction, and there is not much fanwork about the two. The main rivals of the ship are Sakuraoi and Naezono. People who ship the duo believe that Sayaka would teach Sakura to express her femininity, and embrace it. There is a decent percentage of people who add Aoi Asahina into the ship as well, giving Sayakuraoi instead.

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.

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.

Canon
Ibuki and Tenko are from two different entries in the series, and thus have never interacted in canon. However, they do interact a few times in Ultimate Talent Development Plan.

During the summer sports festival, Tenko participates in the three-legged race, and decides to prep herself by listening to the cheers of the girls in the audience. Ibuki is impressed by Tenko's energy, and begins cheering her on, and wishing her luck. Tenko thanks Ibuki, and says that her cheers are the best. They continue to hype each other up, until everyone told them to shut up.

Towards the end of the year, Tenko finds Ibuki after hearing something loud, and Ibuki wishes her a merry Christmas. Tenko does the same, while commenting that she is energetic as always. Ibuki says that she is especially excited because her class is having a Christmas party, and Tenko says that she would like to have an all-girls Christmas party with Himiko Yumeno too. Ibuki then asks Tenko if she has any plans for the day, and Tenko answers that she will be attending Himiko's Christmas magic show. Ibuki says that sounds fun as well, and wishes she could go too, but is already booked solid. Tenko expresses sympathy for Ibuki, and promises that she'll let her know next time. Ibuki says she'll definitely go then.

In Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, Ibuki asks Tenko for help decorating a billboard for her end-of-summer performance. The two splatter paint all over the billboard, and Tenko expresses gladness that Ibuki would go to her for help. At the Summer Festival, Ibuki can ask Tenko to go to lunch with her. Tenko tells her that she loves to get food with other girls and blushes when Ibuki tells her the feeling is mutual.

Quotes
"Gooood luuuuuck, Tenkoooooooo!"

- Ibuki wishing Tenko luck before the three-legged race.

"Thank you very much, Ibuki! Your cheers are the best!"

- Tenko thanking Ibuki for cheering her on.

Fanon
The ship likely sailed due to both characters having many similarities. Both Ibuki and Tenko are known for their hyperactive behavior, impulsiveness and doing their best to encourage others in their own way. They are both also strongly implied to have an attraction to people of the same gender, which also helps with their compatibility.

Just like many other cross-ships in the fandom, the ship is not very popular. While some fans do enjoy the dynamic between both characters, most do not prefer the ship over their main ones, Band Aid and Tenmiko.

Terunidai
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Terunidai is the slash ship between Nekomaru Nidai and Teruteru Hanamura from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Although they're classmates, the two rarely interact in canon. However, they still share a fair amount of interactions with each other. Those interactions are usually used to show Teruteru's "open tastes" when it comes to his sexuality, confirming he's either bisexual or pansexual.

In the Prologue of Super Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair, the boys are among those who have fun in the sea. When Teruteru asks the group if anyone would like a rub down of his suntan lotion, Nekomaru actually accepts the offer, not realizing Teruteru's perverted intention. Although the Ultimate Cook's words imply that he was hoping a girl would accept, he's quickly fine with a muscular man accepting instead, saying that "his tastes are pretty open," to which Mahiru replies they may be too open.

Nekomaru is among those who reacted the most sympathetically towards Teruteru upon hearing his motive to kill during the conclusion of Chapter 1's case.

In the first episode of Despair Arc, Teruteru is tied up after making sexual comments towards Sonia Nevermind. Initially, it's his teacher, Chisa Yukizome, who has him tied up. However, because he soon enjoys being tied up by a woman in an apron, Nekomaru quickly replaces her. While Teruteru is briefly confused, he soon ends up enjoying being tied up by a muscular man as well, making this the second time in the franchise that Teruteru was fine with Nekomaru going with his perverted fantasies instead of one of the girls.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Teruteru being more than fine with Nekomaru fulfilling his perverted fantasies instead of one of the girls on two occasions.

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. Mostly because this ship is often used to show that Teruteru (and imply so with Nekomaru) is a part of LGBT community. Nonetheless, it naturally loses in popularity to Nekomaru's heavily teased ship with Akane. The ship is still a minor one and as such doesn't get many fan fictions or fan arts dedicated to it. It is, however, the second most written ship for Teruteru on Archive of Our Own, losing only to his ship with the protagonist.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Teruhina is the slash ship between Teruteru Hanamura and Hajime Hinata from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
Hajime and Teruteru don't get much interaction during the game due to Terteru's early death. However, Hajime gets to interact with Teruteru during his Free-Time events. Teruteru expresses his attraction with his usual vulgar remarks, however also shows romantic attraction towards Hajime rather than just sexual attraction, which is unusual for him. Additionally, due to Teruteru's talent as the Ultimate Cook, Hajime thinks very highly of his cooking. When offered to be made a meal by Teruteru, Hajime says he looks forward to it. Hajime is overwhelmed with how wonderful his food tastes, and impressed with how it can make him feel nostalgic.

Quotes
"That's fine with me! How about we start by getting to know each other? If you'd like, we can get to know each other with our bodies. Why don't you come to my cottage?"

- Teruteru after Hajime invites him to hang out.

"Hajime...you poor thing. From the bottom of my heart, I feel so bad for you."

- Teruteru after Hajime expresses that he's never eaten food cooked with high-quality ingredients.

"I can't compete with your curiosity... But in exchange... you need to hold my hand, okay!?"

- Teruteru to Hajime when he suggests exploring the military base in Island Mode. "Hmm... It's not like I'm scared or anything... But if anything happens, all I have to do is leap into Hajime's strong arms... Ah, if I think about it like that, I guess I can do it. Okay, let's go inside!"

- Teruteru to Hajime after he suggests going to the haunted house in Island Mode.

"What's up? Why are you looking at me with such passion...? Oh, I get it! You've finally awakened! Then let's go right ahead and start planning our future together! All through the night, of course...and in bed, obviously!"

- Teruteru at the start of his 5th Free Time Event.

Fanon
The ship sailed thanks to Teruteru's free-time events. As Hajime is the protagonist, direct interactions with Terteru were able to be seen, which made it easier to fuel the ship. Some also find it refreshing to see the typical "perv" character, who's usually obsessed with the opposite sex, making advances on a male protagonist (similar to the reasons people ship Terunidai).

The ship also sailed due to Hajime being very respectful of Teruteru. Although his sexual remarks can be off-putting, Hajime tries to let them not bother him and instead focuses on other parts of his character. Hajime thinks very positively of Teruteru's cooking ability and isn't grossed out by him, which is why people like the ship. As for physical features of the ship, the height difference is a big factor, with Hajime at 179cm (5'8") and Teruteru at 133cm (4'3"), creating a 46cm (18") height difference, which can be very appealing.

Despite being Teruteru's 2nd most-written ship on AO3, it only has 16 fics, and is beaten out only by Terunidai, which has 18. Additionally, the fact that Teruteru is one of the fandom's most hated characters with Hajime being one that is generally well-received doesn't help the ship's popularity. Because of this, it's no surprise that the ship doesn't get nearly as much content as popular Hajime ships such as Komahina, Hinanami, Komahinanami, or Hinamiki. As a result of being very uncommon, the ship is considered a rarepair and doesn't have many supporters in the fandom.

Canon
Ibuki and Angie have never canonically interacted, as they both come from two different entries in the series. However, they do interact with each other in Ultimate Talent Development Plan, and appear to be friends.

In Ibuki’s Ultimate Talent Development Plan, if you choose to go to a place with a “psychedelic“ vibe when asked where you’ll perform your “fight song“, you will meet Angie. Ibuki says she finds the genre interesting but it’s not really her type. She also adds that she was expecting to see Angie.

Angie asks if Ibuki came to offer herself up as a sacrifice, which she quickly answers herself, saying that it would be dangerous to extract blood from someone who was skinny like Ibuki. Angie has shown interest in slimmer bodies, as shown during the second trial in Killing Harmony, when she told Kirumi that she had a thin and nice body.

She then says that Atua praises Ibuki’s “devotion“. Atua’s approval is a very important thing to Angie, and most often dictates how much respect Angie will hold for that person.

Ibuki says that the sacrifice experience could be good for a live performance and gets conflicted.

Fanon
The ship is considered a rarepair, as is the case with most crossover ships. Most prefer to ship within the two's respective games (Angie with Korekiyo and Ibuki with Mikan, most often). However, this ship does have some supporters, due to their similarities.

The fandom recognizes the two as being the bubbly morale boosters, hardly upset even during the killing games when someone has passed. Ibuki enjoys lifting people’s spirits with her music, and Angie enjoys preaching happiness through the guidance of Atua. Their passion for making others happy is what makes them an attractive couple to their supporters.

"You’re quite skinny, though. It might be dangerous if I extract too much blood..."

- Angie second-guessing her idea to sacrifice Ibuki.

<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Togaishi is the slash ship between Byakuya Togami and Kiyotaka Ishimaru. AKA: Ishitoga, Detention Files

Canon
Byakuya and Kiyotaka are in the same killing game. As such, they at least know who each other are and have likely interacted a few times whether we see it or not. Their exact relationship is difficult to tell due to the low amount of short interaction between the two characters.

Byakuya was originally assumed to have gained his ultimate through birthright and not from actual effort. This would contradict Taka’s opinion that people should work for what they have and not get it without real effort and true hard work. This would likely mean that Taka would have a reason to dislike Byakuya but he probably wouldn’t hate him immediately due to the fact that he has no right to assume that without proper evidence.

Danganronpa S
In Danganronpa S, Taka shouts at Byakuya for reserving so much of the beach for himself to which Togami replies saying that he only wants Toko to go away from him.

Tsumugi says that she bets they are beautiful and well made, and that she would like to see them, and says she bets they are a perfect reference for a cosplay. Sonia then asks Tsumugi if she would like to wear them, in which Tsumugi insists that it was okay, because the dresses were too glamorous for her, and tells Sonia that she only cosplays fictional characters.

Sonia then asks if cosplay is dressing as fictional characters, Tsumugi confirms it, and says that it lets her become someone totally different and live in a different world. Sonia says she understands wanting to be a different version of herself, and Tsumugi asks if Sonia would be interested in cosplay, Sonia denies but says that she wanted to become a normal girl. Tsumugi then says that princess Sonia and student Sonia are the same one, and Sonia responds with “For that, you have my utmost praise!“ Tsumugi says she is very grateful. Tsumugi then says that the aura of a princess is powerful, Sonia responds that Tsumugi was a delightful person, Tsumugi then responds back the same thing to Sonia too. Tsumugi says she feels plain near someone as sparkly as Sonia. She also says that is plain to see they get along well, Sonia agrees and says she was hella down to hang out with her anytime and calls Tsumugi her soul sister.

Fanon
The ships sailed due Sonia’s and Tsumugi’s good friendship, that both developed, in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan. Due both Sonia and Tsumugi being very compatible with each other, many began shipping them togehter, a popular headcanon is that Tsumugi would cosplay as Sonia in her princess dress, like in the movie Barbie: The Princess & the Popstar. Another one is that if the Killing Game had not started and they actually met, Sonia and Tsumugi would have been best friends. Nonetheless, the ship is considered a rare pairing, or even a crack ship to most, due to both of them having much more popular ships like Sondam and Kaemugi.

Trivia

Yasuburger
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> Yasuburger is the cargo ship between Yasuhiro Hagakure and his hamburger.

Canon
Towards the beginning of Chapter 4 in Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc, five of the remaining seven students gather in the dining hall for breakfast. At one point, Yasuhiro boldly predicts that no more murders will occur inside of the school, which leads to Aoi Asahina questioning the accuracy of his fortune-telling skills. Yasuhiro angrily replies that his fortune-telling is not like "some occult thing" and that clairvoyance should not be put in the same category as cattle mutilation. Kyoko Kirigiri then clarifies that Yasuhiro is referring to the urban legend about aliens abducting cows, but he denies it as just an urban legend, and claims that he had witnessed it himself.

Yasuhiro then beings to tell the others an allegedly true story about a night when he ordered a hamburger from a take-out place he had never been to before, which claimed that their patties were 100% all beef. While on his way home, a beam of light suddenly appeared, and locked onto the hamburger, which began floating in mid-air. The hamburger then began to dissemble as it floated, with one part vanishing completely, while the rest of it fell back into his hand. Yasuhiro had deducted that this meant the burger couldn't have been 100% beef, and that it must have had something else mixed in, like pork. He then went back into the building and confronted the manager, who admitted that the burger really wasn't 100% beef, and that ground pork had been mixed in as well.

Yasuhiro finally concludes his story, asking the others if they now understand the difference between clairvoyance and cattle mutilation. However, Makoto Naegi says that he had gotten lost halfway through his story, while Aoi remarks to Yasuhiro that he stinks of stupidity.

Quotes
"It means, the burger wasn't 100% beef! It must've had some pork or something mixed in... Something like seventy percent pork and thirty percent beef, would be my guess."

- Yasuhiro speculating the contents of the meat in his hamburger.

Fanon
Many players were dumbfounded by the sheer absurdity of Yasuhiro's story, largely due to Yasuhiro's nonchalant reaction to the situation, as he was less concerned over what was an alleged alien abduction, and was more upset about being lied to that his hamburger wasn't all beef. Some consider it to be one of the most outrageous and hilarious moments of the series. It spawned multiple memes, and of course, a ship involving Yasuhiro and the hamburger that he had purchased was created as well.

The ship is one of the more popular cargo ships in the fandom, largely due to the memorability of the scene that inspired it. Although, it is not nearly as popular as other cargo ships like Hinata x Orange Juice or Hope Bagels. It is also worth noting that Yasuhiro wasn't fond of his hamburger after he learned the patties didn't contain all beef.
