TsukaSaku

TsukaSaku is the het ship between Yugi Tsukasa and Nanamine Sakura from the Toilet-bound Hanako-kun fandom.

Canon
The pair is first seen together in Chapter 17. Tsukasa had come back to the Broadcasting Club after having paid a visit to his older twin brother, Hanako, and immediately ran up to Sakura and clung onto her excitedly after seeing her, shouting "honey, I'm home." Sakura did not look impressed, but unlike how she whacks Natsuhiko when he tries to make a move on her, she allowed Tsukasa to hug her and went on to calmly allow him to poke her repetitively as well. Sakura seems to be a sort of mother figure to him in the beginning as she is more often than not the one being his voice of reason, and the one Tsukasa seems to actually listen to the most.

Mitsuba Arc
In Chapter 19, Sakura and Tsukasa worked together to grant Mitsuba's wish, with Sakura broadcasting a rumor throughout the school on Tsukasa's command. It is implied they've done this countless times before together as well.

Tea Party Arc
In Chapter 21, Yashiro is kidnapped by Tsukasa and Natsuhiko and wakes up to Sakura greeting her. She quickly recognizes her from before as who she believes to be Hanako-kun's girlfriend. Yashiro loudly accuses her of being as such.Tsukasa overhears and pounces onto Sakura in disbelief and shock and asks her if she is really dating him, furthering it by asking if they've kissed. Sakura is quick to scold Tsukasa and confirm that she is not dating Hanako. Tsukasa replies by saying 'yes ma'am'. Yashiro comments from the background that the two seem to get along surprisingly well.

Sakura goes on to explain that she is a human who has been bound to a supernatural for the price of a wish, the supernatural being Tsukasa. She tells Yashiro that Tsukasa is a bit childish but surprisingly reliable.

While Yashiro is having a small inner conflict, Tsukasa can be seen offering Sakura a bite of the cupcake he was eating.

A little while later, Sakura and Yashiro begin having a friendly conversation over lunch talking about their respective contractors. Sakura describes Tsukasa as never listening to her, stating that his actions make no sense and that he has no sense of personal space. That last line makes Tsukasa, who was sitting on her shoulders the entire time, ask her if she really thought so. Sakura tells Yashiro that she's decided to think of him more as a cat than a person, still while Tsukasa is hugging her from behind on her shoulders.

Tsukasa, Sakura and Natsuhiko are shown having a small conversation while Yashiro is yet again monologuing. Tsukasa asked Sakura if she wanted to kiss him. Sakura said that she doesn't. Afterwards, Tsukasa notices Yashiro looking conflicted and shoots a menacing glare at Sakura. Sakura looked conflicted, but abided by the nonverbal command. She approaches Yashiro as they have one final small talk about their contractors. Yashiro says that she gets annoyed because whenever she disobeys Hanako, he threatens to turn her into a fish. Sakura says she knows the feeling, traps Yashiro via restraining her to a chair, and says that she cannot disobey Tsukasa either.

Hell of Mirrors Arc
In Chapter 35, Tsukasa takes the reborn Mitsuba to meet Sakura. Tsukasa boasts about their time in the Hell of Mirrors. Sakura offers Mitsuba some tea for his hard work, making Tsukasa seemingly a little jealous and asking Sakura 'what about me.'

Dawn Arc
In Chapter 95, Sakura urges Yashiro to destroy Hanako-kun's Yorishiro, which is Tsukasa. Natsuhiko later asks Sakura what she's going to do if Yashiro doesn't want to destroy the remaining Yorishiros. Sakura says that she would just have to lure her into doing so. It is also revealed in this chapter that she has the power to control Tsukasa's Kokujoudai.

Fanon
TsukaSaku sailed due to being the direct parallel of the Animanga's main pairing Hananene, which consists of Tsukasa's older twin brother, Hanako and his assistant Yashiro Nene. TsukaSaku and Hananene are incredibly similar in the sense that both of the ships contain one of the Yugi Twins plus their contracted assistant, which is likely why fans began shipping the two. However, the ship has become extremely controversial due to the fact that Sakura is physically 17-18 years old while Tsukasa is physically 13 years old despite both being over 50 years old chronologically. The ship became unpopular after Sakura's physical age was confirmed and fans of Toilet-bound Hanako-kun tend to ship Sakura with Natsuhiko, Yashiro, or nobody at all.

The ship currently has over 70+ works on AO3 romantically, and 40+ works platonically.
