Naoshin

"I'm... going to believe in Sou."

- Nao about Sou finding an escape route out of the Death Game

Naoshin is the het ship between Nao Egokoro and Shin Tsukimi from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Canon
When Sou is working in the hidden room trying to figure out the password for the laptop, Nao sneaks up behind him, knocks him out with Kai's frying pan, and steals the laptop. During the Main Game, Sou initiates the conversation about Nao's actions in the aftermath of Mishima's death. He finds her actions illogical and sketchy, and pushes for Nao to tell him her justification. He suspects that Nao actually had a connection with the kidnappers. He also suggests that Nao didn't really have a bond with Mishima, to Nao's distress, and she calls him awful. Later in the Main Game, Sou brings up that he remembers that Nao is the one who attacked him. Sou attempts to keep this discussion between him and Nao, shutting down Sara if she tries to get involved.

Nao and Shin are both available as partners to Sara in the "Quick Draw" attraction. According to their abilities for this attraction, they both seem to be very observant individuals, as Shin can see what weapon will be displayed in advance, and Nao receives a premonition on what it will be.

After Nao finds the malicious Mishima AI put in her room, she decides to talk to Shin about it, since she figures he's the last person the AI would suspect that she would seek for help. They formulate a plan together, although it was mostly Shin's work. After Nao gets Laizer's chip from Sara, Sou appears and acts antagonistic, pretending to have manipulated Nao into obtaining the chip for him. He goes on to say he can analyze the chip with the laptop, while Sara can't do anything. Sara and Gin are upset that Shin would use Nao just for that, but he says Nao's "a good kid, unlike you two." When he asks Nao for the chip, Nao then steals the laptop and runs away, and Sou pretends to act shocked. After the plan succeeds, Nao and Shin share their relief. Sara is surprised that Nao went to Sou for help, out of all people, but Nao says she believes in Sou, and tells the others to as well. She reiterates this a few more times later on.

Fanon
Naoshin is not a very popular ship, as Nao and Shin don't have many interactions. It rivals Naoreko, Keishin and Sousara. The ship is liked for them being close in age, and for them getting to interact with each other through their hacking plan. Sometimes it is preferred as a friendship, due to popular headcanons of Nao being lesbian and Shin being gay. Nao and Shin's relationship may be liked for being an example of Opposites Attract. Gin exhibits this opinion, calling Shin an "inkya" (gloomy personality), while he calls Nao a "youkya" (bright, chipper personality).
