Ginsara is the friendship between Sara Chidouin and Gin Ibushi from the Your Turn To Die fandom.

Chapter 1, Part 1
Gin and Sara meet at the Central Hall on the first floor with the other survivors of the First Trial. Gin is snarky and distrusting of everybody but automatically takes a liking to Sara calling her "Big Sis Sara" (サラ姉ちゃん, Sara nee-chan).

Gin introduces himself and explains how he was kidnapped. Sara empathizes with Gin, noting that he's trying to act strong, but is probably scared. Sara is the only one Gin slightly opens up to during the introduction phase. Gin says he will trust Sara after talking with him. Sara is still on guard about Gin due to the situation the characters are in.

Chapter 1, Part 2
Sara expresses empathy towards Gin when he wants to mourn the death of Mishima.

While looking for Nao, Gin gets trapped in an iron cage. Sara/the player saves him by playing the Birdcage Game. Once Gin is out of the cage, he cries into Sara's chest and she comforts him while he cries. Gin goes with Sara and Keiji to explore until they meet Gonbee. After that, Gin asks Sara if he can explore with her instead of resting with Shin and Kanna. The player can choose whether Gin explores with Sara or Reko and Joe.

After finding Nao, Gin sorts through the garbage in the Black Room. Nao apologizes for troubling Sara, and Reko says Gin is probably doing the same thing by sorting through the garbage. At some point before the Main Game, he tells Reko that he found something amazing in the garbage, but refused to tell her or show her what it was.

First Main Game
Q-taro accuses Gin, Kanna, and Nao of being the weakest links for the time they've spent together. Sara tries to help all of them make a case as to why they are useful to the group. Gin does not want to speak up about his finding, despite Reko telling him to speak up for himself. It takes Sara's persuasion during Equilibrium for him to finally reveal the information he is hiding. He found a piece of paper that said Sara is a murderer and was hiding it to protect Sara from becoming suspicious to the others (and also worrying the others about Sara's nature). He rejects the information stated on the paper saying that he knows Sara would never murder someone.

When Shin tried to accuse Sara of siding with the kidnappers, Gin sticks up for her and says she saved him from the cage. He still remains cautious of Sara like the rest of the group.

Gin is worried for Sara when she is picked as one of the five to proceed to the final vote.

After Kai and Joe's death, Gin is comforting Sara along with Reko and Nao.

Chapter 2, Part 1
During the sub-game, Gin refuses to trade me-tokens, seeing them as form of gambling, but will gladly give them away if Sara does activities with him during the negotiation time like playing with him or helping him wash Mew-chan. Sara always tells Gin that she will still spend time with him even if he doesn't give her any Me-Tokens in return.

When Sara partners with Gin during the attractions, his main gimmick is to give health. He will say that he is the only one who can protect Big Sis Sara when restoring health.

On Day 3 Noon, Sara will see hallucinations of Kai, Joe, and Mishima. If she negotiates with the hallucinations, she will fall asleep at the lobby table and be woken up by Gin who tells her she was having a nightmare. He gets her water and they talk about what happened. She tries to put on a fake smile, but he tells her she doesn't have to pretend to be okay around him. He puts his paw on her hand and tells her that she won't have scary dreams as long as they are together. Sara worries if Gin has enough Clear Chips, but he tells her to stop worrying about others. The two rest in the comfort of the other's presence.

The Final Attraction
Because Gin did not accept any Me-Tokens from anybody, he was hoisted on a giant target with Q-taro who collected the most Me-Tokens. Sara, Reko, and Nao have to save him from getting injected with deadly venom. Gin gets injected with one or two shots of venom depending on the player's actions. Sara wants to go with Gin to the Medical Office, but was told to find the real Reko.

Chapter 2, Part 2
Gin goes to the first floor on his own during the three hours before the Second Main Game. Sara and Keiji follow him to the first through a secret passageway to find him, but are unable to.

When Sara starts to have hallucinations of Joe, Gin is there to calm her down. He becomes her travel partner and helps her discover Safalin's lab with his heightened sense of smell. He remains with her until Shin finds a way to exit the building (which turned out to be false hope).

Second Main Game
Gin is coerced by Sara to vote for Kanna, despite wanting to vote for Shin. She does this to take the burden off of him from killing Kanna or Shin.

Depending on what the player chose, Gin is either encouraged by Sara to defeat the Death Game, concerned for Sara after being attacked by the Joe AI, or sad that Sarah betrayed everybody and executed in the Massacre Ending.

Chapter 3, Part 1-A
Sara and Gin do not spend too much time with each other due to their Dummies (Ranmaru and Hayasaka respectively) becoming their new search partners. Gin is more courageous and outspoken this chapter with a desire to be a leader like Sara.

Sara is worried when Gin and Hayasaka hang on the ceiling by their collars. They are promptly released. Gin is knocked unconscious from this death trap and Sara shows concern saying he could've died if he hung any longer.

If Hayasaka dies during the Obstructor fight, Gin feels defeated because he felt a strong sense to protect him. Sara wishes she could hug him, but can't because that would count as tagging him.

Chapter 3, Part 1-B
Gin doesn't want Sara to sign the consent form to free Keiji due to the dubious nature of it. He also shows concern when only Sara and Ranmaru are the only ones allowed in the Bathrooms (Maple's Room).

When Gin is inspecting the Police Box, Sara tells him to be careful. During this time Sara and Gin try to recover his memory. He is open about telling her about his autism, his family life, how he often gets sick and his sessions with the male teacher which turned out to be Sou Hiyori deceiving him. She tells Gin he isn't weird.

Fanon
Ginsara is a popular ship because of how much time the two spend together in game and how they both support each other through difficult parts of the trials.

While both parties of Ginsara are underaged, there is still a gap in age and most people view the relationship as little brother/big sister where either Sara or Gin is overprotective of the other. Most of the time it's Sara. Other pieces show the pair just playing, sometimes with other YTTD characters. Other people view the relationship as either mutual or one sided on Gin's side.
