Danganronpa/Ships

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

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 still 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 from the Danganronpa fandom.

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. Otherwise 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.

Celedham
Celehdam is the het ship between Celentia Ludenberg and Gundham Tanaka

Canon
Celeste and Gundham didn't met, but they have some things in common, like they were killers and pretent to be "fictional characters"

Celedham is a rarepair due the fact that they never meet, but some people like to ship them because of their similarities.

Fanon

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.

Chapter 3 Culprits
Chapter 3 Culprits is the polyship between Celestia Ludenberg, Korekiyo Shinguji and Mikan Tsumiki from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
All three haven't interacted as a trio, as they are from different games, with Korekiyo also being from a different saga. The only instance of interactions between characters involved came from Celestia and Mikan's event from Ultimate Talent Development Plan. However, all of them share a great number of similarities.

All three are the culprits of Chapter 3 of their respective game, being directly or indirectly responsible for the deaths of two victims; with Celestia killing Hifumi Yamada whom she previously manipulated into killing Kiyotaka Ishimaru, Mikan killing Hiyoko Saionji and Ibuki Mioda, and Korekiyo killing Angie Yonaga and Tenko Chabashira.

All three are known for having the unsympathetic motive for murder, with the motives of all the other chapters in each game usually being at least less villainous. All three are also known for showing off their true colors upon being revealed as the culprits, causing them to shout their equally known catchphrases: Celestia's "Because, because, because!", Mikan's "Forgive me, forgive me, just forgive me already!", and Korekiyo's "Apologize, apologize, apologize!".

With the exception of Celestia, both Mikan and Korekiyo killed two students because of their love for someone else. Both were also forced to kill the second victim, who just happened to be an unwanted witness to their crime.

It should be noted of Mikan and Celestia's interaction in Ultimate Talent Development Plan. Mikan catches Celestia's eyes as she gathers participants to bet on the boys' basketball event. Mikan is very surprised that Celestia notices her, and thanks Celestia for talking to her. Because Mikan needed to go back to the nurse's office to treat other students, she couldn't gamble with Celestia. She was very sorry about this. Celestia titled this as unfortunate, and watched Mikan "scamper away".

Fanon
It's a rarepair to the fandom, but it's shipped because of the similarities between all three of them. Interestingly, as a result of the unsympathetic motives of their cases, the very reason why they're shipped together is also often the reason for why they're hated by some fans. They all have their respective popular ships, such as Celesgiri for Celestia, Band Aid or Hinamiki for Mikan, or Shinnaga for Korekiyo.

With Ruruka being Future Arc's counterpart of a Chapter 3 culprit, killing two people for an unsympathetic motive, she's sometimes included in the polyship with the trio. However, such a version is even more of a rarepair as a result of the anime not being as popular as the main three games.

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 from the Danganronpa fandom.

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 lead some fans to come up with their own theories about what their relationship was like before the Tragedy. This discovery is also what likely lead 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.

Chimiu
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.

Chimondo
Chimondo is the slash ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Mondo Owada from the Danganronpa fandom.

Canon
The first time they interacted, Mondo lunged at Byakuya Togami for making Chihiro cry. Mondo has a protective side, especially when it comes to girls, and stood up for Chihiro since he thought he was a girl. The next day, Mondo accidentally shouted and caused Chihiro to cry. Mondo immediately apologizes and promises not to shout again. In hopes of gaining strength, Chihiro would later ask Mondo to train with him, revealing that he was male and wanting to change from being weak to strong.

Mondo, feeling jealous of Chihiro's inner strength in comparison to his own, killed him in a blind rage, with the use of a dumbbell. Mondo soon regretted his actions and attempted to make it up to Chihiro by keeping his secret for as long as possible by switching the crime scene to the girl's changing room and by breaking Chihiro's e-Handbook in the sauna so his gender wouldn't be revealed. Mondo was later executed willingly by Monokuma after being discovered as the culprit.

Sometime after Mondo and Chihiro's deaths, the remaining survivors found a high school picture of the two laughing with Leon Kuwata, possibly meaning that the two were friends prior to the Tragedy. In Danganronpa 3, Mondo is shown working with Chihiro to help seal up the school.

Quotes
"...I want to change. I wrapped myself in lies. I'm weak. I want to destroy that version of me forever! I have to change. I don't want to be weak anymore. You're so strong, it can't hurt you, right? Whatever secret Monokuma might tell us..."

- Chihiro explains his reason to share his secret with Mondo in Chapter 2 of Danganronpa 1.

"N-No, I just...really admire you. I admire...your strength..."

- Chihiro admiring Mondo's strength.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of their plot in Chapter 2 of Danganronpa 1. The fact that Chihiro is one of two characters Mondo had the most important interactions with also helped. It was even further fueled with the two being polar opposites with each other, with Chihiro being physically weak but mentally strong and Mondo being physically strong but mentally weak. This made a lot of fans enjoy their dynamics together.

On AO3 it is the most written Chihiro and the second most written for Mondo. Some fanfictions show the alternate timeline where the two actually get to exercise with each other.

Chizono
Chizono is the het ship between Chihiro Fujisaki and Sayaka Maizono.

Canon
The two never interact with one another, due to their early deaths. Sayaka was murdered in Chapter 1 while Chihiro was murdered in the 2nd Chapter. One similarity the two share is both being the earliest victims in the killing game. The two share the same English voice actor, Dorothy Elias-Fahn. However, in trial 1 Chihiro was very upset after Sayaka's death, as a result, you could not participate in free time events with Chihiro the day after Sayaka's trial.

They are seen seated near one another in Danganronpa: The Animation. When Chihiro began crying after believing no one would make out of the school alive, Sayaka seemed to be upset and worried for Chihiro. After Sayaka's body was found and Leon Kuwata was executed for her death, Chihiro is again seen crying on the floor because of both their deaths, and upset from the despair around him. After Sayaka's trial, Chihiro got into an argument with Byakuya because Chihiro was upset that Byakuya didn't see any problem with Sayaka's death. Additionally, he was too depressed to speak to anyone a few days after that event.

In Sayaka's relationship chart, Chihiro said "Woah, she's just like on television,". While in Chihiro's chart, Sayaka states that she's jealous of Chihiro's petite build. In one of the seasonal events in the Ultimate Talent Development Plan, after Monokuma launched the 1,000 balls, they appear worried for each other and try to escape together. They do not mention what they were planning to do after escaping. This could've implied a romantic relationship.

Fanon
The pair is largely unknown to fans due to both having no interactions, being killed off early on, and because fans do not pay a lot of attention to both characters, mainly Sayaka, since she's one of the most hated characters in the first game. They are overshadowed by both character's more popular ships, Leosaya and Naezono for Sayaka and Chimondo for Chihiro. There is little fan art of the two together, although, there are a few pages on Danganronpa Amino dedicated to the pair, where people enjoy art of the two and make headcanons. The ship is so small that there is less than 50 works currently on AO3 depicting the ship.

Nishichino
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 has 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.

Komahinadam
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.

Pekohina
Pekohina is the het ship between Hajime Hinata and Peko Pekoyama. AKA: Hinayama, Plain Sword, Hajiyama, Pekojime

Canon
Hajime and Peko appear to have a mutual respect for each other. Being two of the more level-headed and calculated individuals in their group, they're usually able to cooperate with each other in most situations. Especially during investigations and Class Trials.

During the first Class Trial in Chapter 1, Peko is accused of being the Ultimate Imposter's killer by Kazuichi Soda. When Hajime defends her, Kazuichi accuses him of having a crush on her, which he stutteringly denies.

Throughout Peko's Free Time Events, she is shown to be easily smitten by Hajime, and often blushes whenever he compliments her or gives her a present that she is fond of. It is through these interactions that Peko slowly opens up about herself, exchanging personal stories and discussions of her feelings with Hajime.

While not present in the main game, Hajime does actually develop romantic feelings for Peko during her Free Time Events. At one point, Peko tries to ask Hajime for a favor, but she suddenly becomes flustered and isn't able to. She then says that she needs "more time to prepare herself," and Hajime mistakenly interprets this as Peko being interested in him. Once she's ready, the two meet up at the beach, and Peko reveals that she was going to ask out a "childhood friend" after everyone got off the island, and she wanted to ask Hajime for dating advice. Hajime is upset that Peko doesn't love him back, but he still helps her out by telling her not to overthink things and to just imagine her friend's smiling face. As Peko reminisces about a childhood memory, Hajime remarks in his head that Peko looked cuter than ever, and that he was a little jealous of her childhood friend. However, he was still glad that Peko had opened up to him, as he had no doubt that a strong bond had formed between them.

Quotes
"N-No...that's impossible... There's no way Peko is interested in me... There's no way...right?"

"I-I don't know why, but...my heart is racing like crazy...!"

- Hajime overwhelmed by his feelings for Peko.

"...I love you, Peko."

- Hajime confessing his love to Peko.

"Every time she said the word "friend", it was like a dagger in my heart..."

- Hajime upset that Peko only sees him as a friend.

Fanon
The ship sailed due to Hajime developing a crush on Peko in her Free Time Events. However, it is not very popular in the fandom, mainly because there are several other rival ships that greatly surpass it in popularity. Namely Hinanami, Komahina, and Kuzupeko.

Trivia

 * Peko not returning Hajime's feelings is unique, as she is one of the few characters in the series who are confirmed to not be romantically interested in the protagonist.
 * In the official artbook, Hajime describes Peko as a "well-sharpened blade" on her relationship chart.

Princess Pop
Princess Pop is the ship between Sayaka Maizono and Sonia Nevermind.

Canon
They have never canonly met. However, there is a lot of canon 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
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 but 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.

Sakushiro
Sakushiro is the het ship between Kenshiro and Sakura Ogami.

Canon
There is only a small amount of information known about the relationship between the characters, which is revealed to the player during Sakura's Free Time Events.

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. However, 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, and that 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.

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, and has 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 very many.

Fandom
FAN FICTION

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.
 * As Sakura states that Kenshiro only fights in underground tournaments, this is likely where the two met.

Saigiri
Saigiri is the het ship between Kyoko Kirigiri and Shuichi Saihara.

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 is because Kyoko is very confident in herself, while Shuichi isn't very self-confidence, which lead 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 fan art 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 ships becoming nonexistent within the Danganronpa fandom. However, some people see the ship has potential due to their matching talents and fairly differing 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. They also have 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
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
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
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
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.

Tsumugon
Tsumugon is the het ship between Gonta Gokuhara and Tsumugi Shirogane.

Canon
Through out the game, Tsumugi seems to have a soft spot for Gonta and often appears to pay attention to him during some moments when the others do not. She is quite impressed and concerned about how blunt and honest Gonta is.

During Chapter 3, the two and Shuichi Saihara investigate the new floor together. As Gonta offers to help, Tsumugi expresses that he is a gentleman who could use 'a tuxedo and a mask,' a reference to the Sailor Moon character, Tuxedo Mask. However, she later revokes this statement, saying that he is not ready to wear a tuxedo and a mask just yet.

During Chapter 4's trial, she appeared sympathetic towards Gonta who was very confused about the virtual world, and wished to explain it to him. She also tirelessly tried to protect Gonta from being accused as Miu's killer, convinced that he is a kind soul who doesn't even kill bugs. She was shocked and saddened to find out that Gonta really was the culprit. She was especially shocked by Gonta's immense kindness after he forgave Kokichi and told the others not to blame him, and she stated that he truly is stupid sometimes, for being so kind and forgiving even in such situations. She cried heavily before and after Gonta's execution.

In Chapter 5, Tsumugi stays outside one night, looking at the stars and reminiscing what Gonta said earlier about starts being very comforting, even though the starts above the academy appeared different than usual.

As she is later revealed to be the mastermind, it's indicated that Tsumugi only acted to play this specific role assigned to her during the Killing Game.

Quotes
"Gonta is telling the truth! He's not someone who lies all the time like you!"

- Tsumugi defending Gonta when Kokichi claims he's Miu Iruma's killer.

"I believe you. You've been risking yourself to protect everyone."

- Tsumugi believing in Gonta's innocence.

"There's no way Gonta would kill! He won't even kill bugs!"

- Tsumugi still refusing to believe that Gonta is Miu's killer.

"H-How nice can you be, Gonta? You really are...stupid sometimes..."

- Tsumugi crying over the gentelmanly attitude of Gonta who's about to face his execution.

"Alright. I'm just going to stop worrying about it. We need to live for Gonta and everyone else...and escape this place."

- Tsumugi says the remaining survivors need to live for Gonta.

"I'd forgotten this feeling... With all the horrible things happening... I was always looking down... ...I need to thank Gonta."

- Tsumugi being thankful to Gonta.

"I also...don't want to survive with someone who'd do such a thing to Gonta."

- Tsumugi refusing to survive with Kokichi, the person who manipulated Gonta into killing.

Fanon
The ship sailed as a result of Tsumugi having one of her most important interactions with Gonta and seemingly caring for him the most out of everyone. However, because their interactions are still rather minor and there aren't that many of them, only a small part of the fandom is aware of the ship. Additionally, with the reveal of Tsumugi being the mastermind and not caring for the others, a huge part of the shippers abandoned this ship.

YasuKanon
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.

Quotes
"Embarrassed about asking to go to the bathroom? I gotta say, that's kinda cute in a way..."

- Yasuhiro finding Kanon's behavior cute.

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.

 * Soniaki is the Femslash between Chiaki Nanami and Sonia Nevermind. Chiaki Nanami and Sonia Nevermind appear to be friends, in the game and the anime. In Chiaki’s Trial, Sonia shows signs of disbelief. At the end of the trial, Sonia downright refuses to acknowledge Chiaki as a killer. Sonia even attempts to persuade Hajime into thinking Chiaki is not the traitor and killer. When Sonia responds in distress hearing that Chiaki was in fact the traitor, Chiaki responds in a sad tone, yet affirmative.


 * Whilst Chiaki and Sonia were enrolled in Hope’s Peak, they interacted many times. Sonia was seen multiple times playing video games with Chiaki. Sonia was also there in the nurse’s office when Chiaki fainted. Some of the official art in the anime depict Sonia and Chiaki hugging each other. Some of the pictures even depict the two playing pranks on fellow classmates (Ex: Kazuichi).


 * The two show the trope ‘Not So Different’ very well. With their interest in video games. Or you could also say their soft personalities. When Sonia jumps at Chiaki for a hug; Chiaki reacts with a slightly surprised face and slight blush along with it. It should also be said, when Chiaki’s execution in the anime is displayed on screen for everyone to see, Sonia responds with visible distress, a sign of their friendship, or rather; love for each other.

 * Soniaki is a fairly popular ship amongst the fandom, due to the number of canon interactions the two had. Fanfictions written for this ship usually make Chiaki and Sonia the soft, soothing, and calm lesbian couple, which is no different from their canon dynamic. A lot of people make fanfictions of Chiaki and Sonia older and as parents due to their peaceful vibe as friends.
