Fanon
YuuNoa is one of the most popular ships in the Seraph of the End fandom, it's main rival ships are MikaYuu and MitsuNoa and in rare cases the MitsuYuu ship. The Fandom currently is in a ship war between MikaYuu and YuuNoa.

The Main reason why the ship sailed was because of Shinoa's heavily implied romantic feelings for Yuichiro, although the ship is popular, it received a mixed reaction from the Seraph of the End  fandom, common used arguments why people dislike the ship are, that Shinoa's feelings came out of the blue, that shinoa got brainwashed into loving Yuichiro, due mostly other people like Shikama Doji, Guren and Mahiru, pointing out for her that she is in love with Yuichiro or that her crush is a result of compulsive heterosexuality. Many people also may dislike the ship because it gets into the way of MikaYuu and MitsuNoa.
