Fanon
VaniDan is highly overshadowed by Vanoè, VaniJeanne with Noénique and DomiJeanne which is the most popular in fandoms and it's also a ship that has been obscured by other ships such as Louinoé and NoèJeanne, almost not being talked about. But there is still a small minority who enjoy their dynamics. Although Dante and Vanitas often clashed with each other. But with Dante's concern for Vanitas and they often tease each other. It also has a habit that Tsundere. (Mouth doesn't match the heart) makes some vnc fans ship them.But there are some vnc fans who, in general, prefer their relationship as friends rather than romantic. Sometimes in vanitas no carte fan art and fanfics, Dante is portrayed as a matchmaker and Vanitas looks cheesy with other characters like Noé and Jeanne.Whether they like VaniDan as a friend or as a romantic. But there's no denying that their dynamics are just as interesting and fun as they are with other popular ships in the fandom.
