Tsumugon

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

Canon
Throughout 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 is 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 situation. 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.

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.
