Robco

Robco is the het ship between Roc Hijoushiki and Lobco from the Funamusea fandom.

Canon
Roc Hijoushiki is a demon police officer in the world of Ne-no-Kuni. A subordinate to the ruling devil, he is quite volatile and rough around prisoners and angels. However, he is shown to be somewhat "kinder" to Lobco. A shrimp familiar working beneath a witch, Lobco was kidnapped and is being confined in Roc's home. Throughout Deep-Sea Prisoner's works, Roc can be seen harassing Lobco while she is frightened or unamused.

Roc can be gentle with Lobco but still prevents her from leaving his home. He has sexually assaulted her on numerous occasions, and expressed a desire for her to bear his children, much to her abject horror. He once drugged her to force her to lay unfertilized eggs, which he later ate in front of her. Roc has also eaten Lobco's tail before, which is "shrimp flavored." He ensured Lobco was unconscious during this so she would not feel any physical pain.

Roc and Lobco's meeting, and Lobco's subsequent capturing, have yet to be shown in artworks or a story. Not many details have been revealed about these events, besides that even if Roc had made a relatively good first impression when they first met, Lobco would not have fallen in love with him because demons had always been a frightening species to her. As for their early relationship, Roc was less gentle with Lobco since they had not gotten to know each other yet. This can be seen in an older illustration where Roc is throwing knives at Lobco. He deliberately kept the knives from hitting her: his goal was to see Lobco crying in fear because he thought it looked cute.

Roc does not hit Lobco. The one time she bled was the night she lost her virginity. Lobco is wary of Roc's physical affection: she is scared of being hugged by him and touching his wings and tail. Though on weekdays when Roc is in bed with Lobco, Deep-Sea Prisoner has said that he fits her body well and that Lobco's shrimp whiskers take on the shape of a loving heart. Lobco is also afraid of heights, so Roc cannot take her flying with him. Once out of curiosity, Roc gave Lobco an alcoholic drink on one occasion, and she got drunk. If she were to hide from him somewhere in her smaller shrimp form, Roc would be able to find her with ease.

Roc does not usually take Lobco with him to work, since areas with demons can pose a danger to her and because of this, he prepares activities for Lobco to pass time while she is alone at his house. The other demons in Ne-no-Kuni interpret Roc and Lobco's relationship as "Roc simply keeping a pet shrimp." When asked if Roc and Lobco would ever get married, Deep-Sea Prisoner responded that she thinks they will sooner or later.

In Deep-Sea Prisoner's Highschool alternative universe Funamushi Private Deep-Sea Academy, Roc's and Lobco's dynamic is similar except Lobco is not kidnapped in this universe, though Roc is still trying to force Lobco to let him be her boyfriend.

Fanon
Robco is one of the controversial ships within the Funamusea fandom. However, it has quite a devoted following. Per canon, many fan works feature a meek, timid, and scared Lobco. Roc is typically portrayed as obsessive yet devoted to her. Out of all of Satanick's subordinates, Roc has displayed the most violent and rough temperament. His hobby is assaulting and lynching angels, and he is said to have the highest angel kill count among his colleagues. However, Roc is shown to be more gentle towards Lobco despite his penchant for sexually assaulting her.
