Samewada

Samewada is the het ship between Samekichi and Wadanohara from the Funamusea fandom.

Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea
Throughout Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea and many of Deep-Sea Prisoner's works, Samekichi and Wadanohara are shown to be inseparable. Wadanohara is the witch of the sea, and Samekichi is her familiar. They have been through a lot together and care for each other dearly. They are married and have a son by the name of Minami.

Wadanohara and Samekichi first met when Tatsumiya advised Wadanohara to find herself a familiar, stating it would be great help for her as a witch. When flying around on her anchor thinking of what she told her, she noticed Samekichi sitting on a rock with serious wounds. Worried, she glided down to offer him help, and although he tells her to leave, she heals him anyway, not wanting to "leave him alone." Ever since then, Wadanohara went to visit Samekichi in the same place everyday. Eventually, he began to open up to her more, and being with him became fun for Wadanohara. One day, remembering the words Tatsumiya had said, Wadanohara asked Samekichi if he would want to become her familiar. Though confused, he decides to accept her offer having no where else to go. Before this, he asks her to give him a name, thus earning him the nickname "Samekichi."

Since then, Samekichi assisted and helped Wadanohara with her errands and tagged along with her adventures, developing romantic feelings for her over time. One day when Wadanohara went off to play with Tarako, Samekichi asked Irena what kind of gifts make a girl happy. Being able to tell that he was referring to Wadanohara in this regard, she questions if she has ever asked for anything, to which Samekichi remembers the portable instrument she wished for on the way back home. That night on Star Isle, Samekichi presents Wadanohara with an ocarina. She cherishes his gift and thanks him, and in that moment, Samekichi confesses his love to her. Wadanohara returned his feelings, but Samekichi asked if she also loved Irena and Tatsumiya; in response, Wadanohara said she did. Alarmed, he exclaims that is not what he meant, but instead of reiterating his confession, he chooses to tell her another time.

One day, when Samekichi was gone, Wadanohara was tricked by Syakesan into going into the Sea of Death with him, saying the Sacred Sword was stolen, only to attempt to assault her. Samekichi stops him, and a spell is cast upon Wadanohara's heart which to erase her memories of the incident. If mentioned, the curse would fully devour Wadanohara. This forced Samekichi to be completely avoidant of the event, and prompted Wadanohara to travel to the Witch World to seek a way to retrieve her memories.

When arriving back home after hearing a war was fast-approaching, Samekichi blocks her war and violently advises her to leave, stating he would devour her if she did not listen. Wadanohara is confused and saddened towards this behavior of his and reluctantly questions this, though he continues to instruct her to leave the sea.

After regaining her memories, Samekichi took her side and fought against the Sea of Death alongside her familiars. When stabbed by Syakesan with the Sacred Sword, Samekichi holds her in his arms and reassures her that nothing was her fault. In an act of panic, Samekichi takes Wadanohara's blood and hunts down his brother for decades in her name to bring peace in his master's sea despite not caring about it himself. After his leave, Wadanohara is extremely miserable and cries to Fukami that everything was her fault. Fukami tells her to continue believing in Samekichi just as he always believed in her.

For the time Samekichi is gone, Wadanohara plays her ocarina and protects her sea, believing that one day he will return home. At the very end of the game, Wadanohara looks over the horizon and notices Samekichi finally coming back home after so long. Both hug one another under the moon and promise to never leave each other ever again.

Children
Samekichi and Wadanohara have a son named Minami. He was born from an egg similarly to how his mother was born. However, he was conceived naturally. A straightforward and honest young man, Minami is said that his personality is more akin to his mother and his looks from his father. He also shares many of her hobbies such as bird watching. From what is seen of him, he seems to be quite cheerful.

Fanon
Since Samekichi/Wadanohara is a key component in Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea, shipping the two was a natural occurrence. Samewada is one of the more wholesome ships in the Funamusea fandom, both of Samekichi's and Wadanohara's feelings for each other being mutual. Many depict Samekichi as easily flustered around Wadanohara despite his rough exterior. Wadanohara is portrayed as somewhat clumsy and aloof yet overly caring. The two have a special bond not easily broken, and many fan works show the devotion this pair has for one another.
