Yukilisa

YukiLisa is the femslash ship between Yukina Minato and Lisa Imai from the BanG Dream! fandom.

Canon
Yukina and Lisa are members in Roselia. Yukina being the vocalist, while Lisa is the bassist. They are both best friends, next-door neighbours, and they have known eachother ever since they were little. They both go to Haneoka Girls' High School, and are both in class 3-A.

They have the opposite personalities, with Lisa being a friendly and lively girl who appears mature and calm. And Yukina is a cold-blooded (although Yukina isn’t as cold to people who are on her good side), fierce and passionate girl. Despite that, they are shown to care for eachother more than once throughout the game stories and the anime, though Yukina doesn't make it so obvious. Lisa can be seen giving nicknames and compliments to Yukina, such as calling her cute. Lisa is also mentioned to always talking about Yukina to others, with Moca telling Yukina that Lisa always talks about her at work in the card story for Lisa-Like Lyrics, although when Yukina wanted more details, Lisa told Moca to not give her any more details. Lisa talking about Yukina to Moca specifically was also shown in Loading Screen Comic #031, and in the 4-koma comic "The Phases of Songwriting", both of which involving Lisa and Moca talking about their respective childhood friends (Yukina and Ran respectively).

When Yukina feels disheartened, discouraged, defeated - lost, Lisa reminds Yukina that both her love and passion for music is valid. she reminds and exemplifies to Yukina that there are people that truly love her (her friends, family, and the members of Roselia). In general, Re:birth day's lyrics illustrate Yukina’a new resolve to face her feelings and music, even when it hurts, and how regardless of what end she meets, she will press onwards and sing. Lisa’s actions and honesty in the first band story helped Yukina make this decision. In the lyrics of Hidamari Rhodonite, Yukina writes about her feelings towards Lisa, and how Lisa has demonstrated to her what someone does for another when they love them. Even when Yukina became cold and distant in her pursuit of music, Lisa never gave up on her, and stayed by her side and continued watching over her in hopes that she'd be able to see Yukina smile again - demonstrating her unconditional care.

Fanon
With both girls being childhood best friends and with several events dedicated solely to the importance and strength of their bonds, this ship quickly became the most popular ship for both characters. In ship related interpretations and content, you can often find a headcanon about Lisa's hidden feelings for Yukina, as due to the difference in temperament, it is usually Lisa who is the most active person in their interaction. This is especially fueled by the fact that in canon material, Lisa is usually portrayed as taking special care of Yukina, even years after she ended their ties due to her obsession with music. While this may seem one-sided on Yukina's part, she also reveals that Lisa is her dearest friend, both in their bonds-themed events and more conventional story interactions.

People who ship other ships like the YukiRan or aren't interested in shipping at all tend to find this ship to be the perfect BroTP, but this is rarely controversial as the Yukina x Lisa is considered the easiest and most obvious idea for a ship involving both this girls and even people who don't ship them, understand why others can.

Yukilisa is often compared to MocaRan, which is also based on a childhood best friend dynamic with a unique strong bond and speculation that it could be a Semi-Canon or Canon. This is especially emphasized in the game itself, when Yukina and Ran regularly compete with each other, while Lisa and Moca joke about it or discuss their best friends with each other, which shippers often jokingly refer to as "talking about their partners".
