- Saori to Yumemi.

Yumemisaori is the femslash ship between Yumemi Yumemite and Saori from the Kakegurui fandom.

Kakegurui - Compulsive Gambler
Yumemi and Saori are first shown together in episode 9. After Yumemi talked with the president of her fanclub, she goes back to the restroom and immediately washes her hands. After a while silence in the room, Yumemi completely loses it and screams that her fans make her sick. Seeing how desperate Yumemi is, Saori suggests that if her fans bother her that much, they could at least cancel the post-concert handshake event. Yet, Yumemi declines because she needs the event to get to know her fans on a personal level, so that she could get their support.

Next day, Yumeko shows up with Suzui to see Yumemi, but firstly they had to inform Saori about the meeting. After Saori allows the meeting, the three go to Yumemi's room, and meet Yumemi. Later, Yumeko eventually discovers that Saori has been recording her and Yumemi's entire conversation, including the part where Yumemi says that she hates her fans. Knowing that the recorder would be useful in the future, Yumeko takes the recorder away from Saori and leaves the room with Suzui, which leaves Saori completely devastated, thinking that Yumemi's career is now over. However, Yumemi tells Saori that there's still a chance to win, so there's no need to panic.

When the gamble, the "Battle of the Stars" then finally begins, Saori does her best to help Yumemi to win. Deeply in fear about what would happen with Yumemi's dream after she lost the gamble against Yumeko, Saori begs Yumeko not to let the audience hear the audio. Yumeko ask's Yumemi in turn if that is really what she wants. However, Yumemi say's that Yumeko should just release the audio, because her luck so or so has ran out. Yumemi then finally says her fans the truth. At first her fans were shocked, but then still cheered for her and admired her honesty. Afterwards, Yumeko and Yumemi sing a duet together.

After the duet is over, Yumeko wants to reveal the "villain" who forced Yumemi in retirement, but Saori screams that she has an idea. Saori then tells Yumemi that her dream is to make Yumemi's dream come true, she further adds, "The one who trampled on our dreams... i want to make him pay!". At first Yumemi was sceptical of Saori's idea, because she has nothing to gain from revealing the villain, but then agrees, stating that the situation is now a matter of "pride". Thus, Saori reveals Kaede Manyuda as the villain.

Other Kakegurui Media

Fanon

Although it's the most popular ship for both characters, the ship didn't gain that much attention in the Kakegurui fandom, since Saori is a minor character that only appeared for 3 episodes. Many fans love the trope of the "plain" girl and the flashy cheerful girl. It's main rival ship is, Yumemimeko.
