"(I knew it! I was right...! I was right, grandpa! That zingy-zing feeling I got when I saw him during those interviews sent me in the right direction!)"

Fanon
Emukasa has a decent following in the Project SEKAI fandom and is commonly seen as one of the more popular het ships, though it still has more traction in the Eastern fandom. Emukasa sailed mainly due to Emu always trying to help Tsukasa, especially after Chapter 15 of WonderlandsxShowtime's Main Story where they had a bonding moment at the Ferris wheel, and further gained fans after later events showing Tsukasa's dedication to making Emu's ideals a reality. Many people also like the ship due to their "birds of a feather"-like dynamic, considering they make up the more loud and energetic half of their group and are shown having a few traits in common (such as their hearty laughs). It is rivaled by RuiKasa, Emunene, Ruiemu, and sometimes Nenekasa as well.

An Emukasa Week will be held on December 11-17, 2022.
