NejiYuyu

NejiYuyu is the femslash ship between Nejire Hadou and Yuyu Haya from the My Hero Academia fandom.

Canon
Yuyu is introduced later on in season 4 of the anime, helping out Nejire in preparing for the beauty pageant that happens every year during the school festival. Yuyu discusses that Nejire is more the "cute type" than the "sexy type" with another student helping her out. Nejire then introduces Yuyu to Izuku, explaining that she originally did the beauty pageant her first year because Yuyu suggested it, but found it really fun. She adds that since it's now her last year and her last chance, she really wants to win for Yuyu, especially since she's kept losing to the same girl.

Later on, when it's time for Nejire to perform, Yuyu is seen rooting for her, being very determined for her to win, explaining to the audience why Nejire lost the year before. As Nejire performs using her quirk, Yuyu is in awe, just like the rest of the audience. Nejire is eventually declared the winner, and Yuyu is seen crying tears of joy in the audience.

In the character info pages in the manga, Kohei Horikoshi states that Yuyu likes cute things, and thinks that Nejire is "the cutest thing in the galaxy".

In the volume 4 of the School Briefs, right before the Beauty Pageant, it's seen first Kendo and Nejire talking together before the Pageant, but then Kenranzaki appears right before them and tells to Nejire that she wishes that "may the best woman win", which Nejire agrees saying that she was the best and wouldn't lost against her. But then, Kenranzaki complains about Hado's dress, saying that she had to change and Hado asks why, which Kenranzaki apologies saying that she mistook "that plain old thing for Hado's everyday garb", which makes Nejire seem a little affected by her words by saying that that was mean and the dress was cute. A moment later, when Kendou was going to stop both girls, Yuyu appears to defend Nejire by saying; "Scuse me, Kenranzaki, but could i ask you to back off of Nejire?", which surprises Nejire, Kendou and Kenranzaki because Yuyu appeared from nowhere like a "loyal hunting dog ready to defend its master". But then Kenranzaki talks and say that Yuyu didn't had to get really bent out of shape by herself, which left Yuyu with loss of words standing just beside Nejire. After everything calmed down, Yuyu had found a gigant nail in Nejire's shoes which made Yuyu get mad and then blamed Kenranzaki because she thought that the nail was hers, but then Nejire stops her by saying that she needed to cut that off, because there was no proof, but Yuyu keep insisting about that Kenranzaki did that for winning again the Pageant, but Nejire told her again to cut it out. Kenranzaki then offers Nejire to find out the culprit about the case, which accepts and Yuyu complains about that but Hado said that the more people looking, the better the odds of finding them. After agreeing for the research, Hado had glanced back to Yuyu who was running few paces behind, because she was ready to protest when Hado volunteered to help but then remained on silent. Kendou interpreted that both girls were fighting. When Nejire, and the other girls (alongside with Yanagi and Hatsume) were searching for the losted Hatsume's baby, Kendou offered to talk with Yuyu, which girl agrees. Yuyu says that she was the one who suggested Nejire for being in the pageant originally, and that she was a total cutie for her. Then she says that she was sure that Nejire would bring home the crown, but Kenranzaki had won the pageant for 2 years in a row, and that if the judges don't see how cute Hado is, their eyes would be malfunctioning, because nobody in the galaxy can hold a candle to Nejire. Kendo then thinks: "It's like she's bragging about her amazing sweetheart?" and that thought made warm her heart, but then Yuyu says that she was hurting Hado for nothing, a pageant or not, Nejire was still cute, Yuyu said. She commented apart that Nejire wanted to compete and win and Haya wanted that so bad that she would do just about anything for reaching that, but she gets so worked out that makes Nejire worried about her, which makes Haya blame her self by saying that she was the worst. Then finally Yuyu says that as they gotten closer and closer to the big day (the Beauty Pageant), she had felt her fuse getting shorter and shorter that makes her say that she wasn't even being herself. Suddenly, Nejire appears and calls for Yuyu, which surprises both Kendou and Haya Yuyu was going to talk first, but then Nejire interrupts and was going to say something to her, but then they got interrupted by Amajiki, which guy had found the culprit of the case. After catching the culprit, the situtation calms down, but then Nejire complains about Kenranzaki "thing" (a tank) which she had bring to stop the culprit, which she says that she has no eye for beauty. Yuyu then intervenes saying that Nejire was more a minimalist and cutesy than gaudy, while she was holding back. Then Hado walked over Haya, while smiling and said that Yuyu was Yuyu, which confuses her and Hado explains that she saw that she was being not herself and even if she's not acting like herself that was still a part of Yuyu, and even if she wish that she were another way, that is the whole package, and that package was her good friend (Yuyu). But then Haya asks what if she hated some parts of herself, which Hado mimed by slapping her own checks saying that if that happens, then she just needed to rev herself up. Nejire then says that she would go on about wanting to win, because that would make Yuyu happy. Then Yuyu says that Nejire was a sore loser and Nejire says that she will rev herself up to win the Beauty Pageant.

Later, a pageant committee member saw the group of girls and told them to get back, because the Pageant was about to start, which girls hurried up and headed back.

Fanon
Relative to most pairings in the show, NejireYuyu is considered a rare pair, mostly due to the lack of screen for Yuyu. However, it is a fairly popular pairing for both girls, due to their closeness when they are seen together. Nejire wants to win for Yuyu, Yuyu cries when Nejire wins, and the two girls both address each other by their first names, leading to many fans considering them to be girlfriends. Although semi-rivaled by NejiTama or NejiMiri, more often then not the two are portrayed as dating and hanging out alongside MiriTama, the two couples being good friends.
