Ginsaka

Ginsaka is the friendship between Gin Ibushi and Shunsuke Hayasaka from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Canon
The real Hayasaka died before he and Gin had a chance to meet. When Gin was alone on the dark first floor, he witnessed the Victim Video that depicts Hayasaka's death in his First Trial. He appeared to be absolutely frightened, as he described in the second Main Game.

On the third floor, doll Hayasaka is paired with Gin as his support for the Murderer Sub-Game. Unknown to the human survivors at the time, the Dummies' goal is to kill their partner before Midori is killed in order to survive. Hayasaka is already anxious about this and his partner being a kid makes it worse. Hayasaka's worriedly comments that he's been paired with a kid, and in turn, Gin says he's the one who's worried. Gin comes up with the nickname "suit-and-specs" to address Hayasaka by.

Shortly after introductions, the group fights against an Obstructor. Gin and Hayasaka are both needed to search out weapons to use against it, them being a flaming stick and a shovel respectively. Hayasaka and Gin are later seen searching the cemetery together. Hayasaka finds a broken shovel and tries to hold on to it, but Keiji refuses to let him. Gin assures Hayasaka that even without a weapon, he's got Gin to protect him.

Eventually they travel to the locker room, along with Keiji and Hinako. Sara tells them that they've got the elevators up and working. Gin tells Hayasaka to come along with thim, and as Hayasaka moves to catch up, he activates a trap in the room causing him to be drawn to the ceiling by his collar, essentially hanging him. Seeing him struggle, Gin becomes very panicked for Hayasaka. Gin runs into the room to save Hayasaka, but gets trapped as well. It's only then that the trap is disabled by Midori and the two are safe.

Gin remains unconscious from hitting the ceiling, so Hayasaka carries him by Keiji's suggestion. Upon meeting the others, without saying it, the Dummies express their concern that Hayasaka actually did harm Gin, but he assures them that Gin is just passed out.

Gin wakes back up once they reach the office on the fifth floor. He's confused as to why he's being carried and asks to be put down. Hayasaka apologises and does so immediately. Gin then thanks Hayasaka for stopping the locker room trap, but Keiji corrects him saying it was thanks to Gin that it was stopped. Gin cheerfully says he knew it and that they should be grateful, so Hayasaka hesitantly thanks him.

Hayasaka also remarks that Gin saved him from Kurumada's aggressive questioning about Hayasaka being forced to collect information on the participants for Asunaro. Keiji says that Gin seems rather fond of Hayasaka, though Hayasaka wonders if that's true, what with his nickname "suit-and-specs". Keiji says it may be because of that, actually, and tells him about Mishima. Hayasaka wonders if Gin is associating him with Mishima, and if that's why Gin tried to protect Hayasaka. Hayasaka doesn't understand why Gin would do that, when he isn't even human anymore, but that doesn't matter to Gin.

Later when the whole group is together, multiple book Obstructors appear and target Hayasaka. If they fail to find a solution, the Obstructors bite at Hayasaka and kill him. Gin witnesses this and tells Hayasaka to wake up with a blank look in his eyes. Gin trembles and cries that he can't protect anyone. In the case that the group succeeds, Gin simply asks if Hayasaka is alright. Afterwards, Hayasaka and Gin search in the Police Box.

When the group figures out they need the ID Card from Maple, they have go to the Discussion Room, and all pairs hand-hold to open the door to get in and retrieve the ID Card from Maple. When Hayasaka and Gin do so, Hayasaka asks if it'd work even with gloves on, in which Gin responds that he is absolutely not taking them off.

In the final event, the Banquet, if Hayasaka is the second Dummy Sara hits, in his last moments he shouts for Sara to win and protect Gin. If Hayasaka survives, as he powers down, he thanks Gin and tells him to live long. Gin promises to bring Hayasaka back, he just has to wait.

Quotes
"The one thing I can take pride in is that I never tried to harm Gin... Being that I'm a coward, I suppose that's only natural, but... Even so, I'm glad Gin could live..."

- Hayasaka during the pre-banquet

Fanon
Gin and Hayasaka's friendship sailed due to them being paired together and thus naturally getting interactions together. As a result of this, Hayasaka is most often regarded as a father figure to Gin, especially considering Gin's hateful feelings towards his step-father. Their relationship is thought to be very cute and wholesome, with Hayasaka doing his best to care for Gin and their dynamic of despite Hayasaka being the adult, he is more often than not at Gin's command. Their friendship is also popular for similar reasons to Gin's friendship with Mishima.
