Yu-Gi-Oh!/Ships

Skyshipping
Skyshipping  is the het ship between Yuma Tsukumo and Kotori Mizuki from the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom.

Canon
Not much is known about Kotori's past, however, it has been shown in Yuma's first duel when he was really young that they were close friends even at a young age. Yuma when he was young always looked up to his father and was inspired by him, his father was responsible for granting him his "Kattobingu" which became something special to him throughout the series. As Astral needed to gain back his memories via collecting Numbers Yuma must go Number hunting in order to do so.

Ultimately, he defeats Shark with the "Original Number" known as Utopia in dub/Hope in the original Japanese series. Kotori made a Numbers Club in order to help out Yuma in his quest for the Numbers. She serves as Yuma's emotional support and cheerleader for the majority of the series. Even in the Barian Arc, she managed to guide the Battleship out of Vector's blackhole so Yuma doesn't sacrifice his numbers and told him to never give up within his duel against Nasch.

After defeating Nasch, Astral and Yuma gained the Numeron Code and brought everyone who died during the arc back to life as humans instead of Barians. However, as discussed by Eliphas, due to the fusion of Astral world & Barian World, new troubles arise as a unknown chaos number user is causing havoc. As Yuma, Kotori, Ryoga, Kaito and the rest of the main cast travel to Astral world in order to help Astral with this new threat. Kotori confesses to Yuma saying "I love you and your smile," which causes Yuma to blush heavily, while Kotori holds his hand tighter and smiles with a light blush on her face.

Fanon
Many fans adore this pairing due to its fair-share of shiptease. Skyshipping shippers tend to get into ship wars with its rival pairing, Keyshipping (Yuma x Astral).
