ChuuRan

ChuuRan is the slash ship between Chūya Nakahara and Ranpo Edogawa from the Bungou Stray Dogs fandom.

Canon
Chuuya and Ranpo are from different organizations rivaling one another. Interactions between the two of them is rare, however, they’ve met in the Guild Arc and during the Cannibalism.

Their first interaction happened in the Guild Arc when Chuuya invaded the place the Detective agency was hiding. Fukuzawa and Ranpo respond to Chuuya through security cameras instead. Ranpo asks Chuuya if he wa s the one who leaked the information to the Guild, addressing him by “Mr. Fancy Hat.” This left Chuuya grabbing his hat and pondering to the name to himself, most likely insecure or amused by the nickname.

Their second interaction was during the Cannibalism Arc. Chuuya orders the Mafia to defend Mori with their lives until he reaches the scene. But before Chuuya leaves, Ranpo calls him and confronts him saying he can't let Chuuya go, as that would decrease the agency's chances of victory.

Chuuya seems merciful towards Ranpo compared to other enemies. Chuuya states that Ranpo doesn’t have the fighting power even though he’s the axis of the agency, he does not have the fighting power. This implies that he recognizes how much the Agency idolizes Ranpo. But Ranpo teases and mocks him by reminding him that he had already lost to Dazai. This angers Chuuya and he causes a small explosion. Chuuya then asks him if he wants to get crushed by gravity, and Ranpo responds by saying that nothing is impossible for a great detective.

Chuuya jumps up into the air and slowly descends, swinging at him with full force, but then Ranpo smirks and remarks, “Do you like mystery novels?” Ranpo places Poe’s novel above his head to block Chuuya’s punch, leaving his arm stuck as Chuuya and Ranpo slowly got transported into the novel. Ranpo did this to keep Chuuya at bay during the Cannibalism, and as Chuuya panics and Ranpo confidently tells him that the novel is a place where there are no skills, and that the only way to get out was to discover the five hundred killers inside. They are soon teleported into the novel. And it was not shown what happened while they were inside, however, we can presume they had further interactions inside the novel as stated by Ranpo later.

After the victory, the Guild threw a party on their yacht to celebrate, Ranpo is seen there eating a cake, Tanizaki goes to him to ask him about his escape from the novel, and Ranpo says he easily managed to decipher all five hundred killers, and then he states he regrets not being able to say the same thing about Chuuya. Ranpo mentions that Chuuya gave up and started punching everyone. Despite this incident, it does not appear that Chuuya blamed him.

Fanon
ChuuRan is not as popular as ships like Soukoku or Ranpoe, since Chuuya and Ranpo have limited interactions. The fandom is very fond of the interactions between them and how Ranpo teases Chuuya with the name “Mr. Fancy Hat.” Many shippers make theories of what could’ve happened inside the mystery novel with Chuuya and Ranpo got stuck inside, and many assume they had further interactions there.

Shippers guess that Chuuya appreciates Ranpo’s nickname towards him, seeing as Chuuya delayed his attack on Ranpo during the Cannibalism Arc.
