Salkichi

Salkichi is the family ship between Syakesan and Samekichi from the Funamusea fandom.

Wadanohara and the Great Blue Sea
Syakesan and Samekichi are twin brothers born to Namikaze and Old. They grew up alongside their mother and her sister Namiho. Their childhood was normal until one fateful day their mother took her own life. This sent Syakesan spiraling, eventually cuasing him to run away from home. Samekichi promised Namiho to bring him back no matter what. On his search, Samekichi eventually ran into Wadanohara and became the witch's familiar. Upon arriving in the Blue Sea, Syakesan greeted Samekichi. He knew it was his brother, yet at the time, he couldn't bring himself to say anything.

Both brothers developed romantic feelings for Wadanohara over time, though only one of them received her continuous attention and affection. Syakesan was aware of this and became extremely jealous. This brewed into hatred towards his younger half. Syakesan further states that he should have killed his brother when given the chance - that taking pity on him was a mistake. A spell was cast on Wadanohara to lock away her memories, subsequently forcing Samekichi from mentioning any of this to her lest it break her.

Syakesan later stabs Wadanohara with the Sacred Sword, his own injured self fleeing into the Sea of Death afterwards. After aiding Wadanohara, Samekichi takes her blood (a portion of his master's power) and goes after his brother to put an end to things once and for all. The two briefly talk before Samekichi retrieves the sword and says his goodbyes, leaving Syakesan to pass away. As Samekichi walks off, Syakesan calls him an idiot before apologizing. Some time in the future, Samekichi and his family pay a visit to his aunt Namiho. He apologizes for not being able to bring his Syakesan back. She insists it was not his fault, referring to Syakesan as an idiot for everything he did despite having a younger brother who cared for him.

Fanon
Many fans depict the dynamic between Syakesan and Samekichi to be very strained as in canon. Despite Syakesan's manipulative nature, Samekichi is not easily swayed by his words or actions. Instea,d he retaliates as necessary. However, being the caring brother that he is, Samekichi cannot bring himself to ever truly hate Syakesan.
