Fruitshipping

Fruitshipping is the het ship between Yuya Sakaki and Yuzu Hiiragi from the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom.

Canon
The two are very close childhood friends. Yuzu is supportive of Yuya and would help him whenever he is in trouble by defending him when someone may try to insult him. Yuzu also acts as a "straight man" in a comedic act with Yuya, usually beating him with her paper fan whenever he angered her.

After Yuzu ends up in the Syncho Dimension, Reiji duels and defeats Yuya making him realize he needed to master Pendulum Summoning to save her. Yuya joins the Lancers and goes to the other Dimensions looking for her.

During the Friendship Cup, they were locked in their rooms as the duels went on. Yuya cheered on Yuzu during her duel, and Yuzu was shocked to see Yuya being beaten. Yuzu adopted various catchphrases and actions from her friends and family in the Standard Dimension to send a message to the distraught Yuya and tell him that he was not alone. Yuya would send a letter to Yuzu which informed her of his desire to defeat Jack and bring smiles to the people of New Domino City, end the war, and return home with their comrades, bringing a smile to Yuzu's face. Yuya was horrified when Yuzu was brutally defeated in a duel.

They were briefly reunited, but a wormhole would take Yuzu to the Fusion Dimension. She would fall under The Doktor's control. The Doktor showed her in her brainwashed state to Yuya to taunt him, but this prompted Yuya to win the Duel in a fit of rage. Yuzu would become later merged with Ray. During the duel with Zarc, Yuzu would speak to Yuya within Zarc. At the end of the series, they are finally reunited.

Fanon
Fruitshipping is a very popular ship. It is by far the most popular Arc-V ship thanks to the share of ship-tease it had. It easily beats out other Yuya and Yuzu pairings.
