Bazookashipping is the het ship between Anna Kozuki and Yuma Tsukumo from the Yu-Gi-Oh! fandom.
Canon[]
Past[]
In elementary school, Anna had a crush on a boy named Yuya Tsukune that was in the same class as her, Yuma, and his own friend Kotori Mizuki. Anna had mistreated Yuya during this time but still had a crush on him. Before she transferred schools, she wanted Yuya to arrive so she could confess her feeling to him, but he never did. This made Anna swear revenge on Yuya - however she had remembered his name incorrectly and thought that the one that stood her up was the similarly named "Yuma Tsukumo".
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL[]
World Duel Carnival Preliminaries[]
Years later, Anna had arrived in Heartland City in order to exact her "revenge" on Yuma. She saw him among the other duelists that were gathered for the start of the World Duel Carnival dueling tournament. Later in the day, Anna found Yuma and Kotori alone at a park, and proceeded to try and blow them up with her cannon, only for the two to avoid the blast. Anna would proceed to chase the two using her cannon's built-in flight function and continue to blast them, only for them to continue dodging and getting out unscathed. Eventually, Anna is able to corner Yuma and Kotori on the roof of a large tower but accidentally falls off her cannon onto the ground.
As Anna recovers from the fall, Kotori guesses who she is and informs Yuma, but he isn't quite sure if that's true. That angers Anna, who promptly holds Yuma at "cannonpoint" until he finally remembers her. Anna then reveals why she wants "revenge" on Yuma before attempting to blast him again. Yuma, who is confused on the entire reason he's being targeted, stops Anna and proposes that the two of them duel. Anna, having been taught how to duel by pro-duelist Umimi Habara, agrees but also sets a wager: If she wins, Yuma has to be her boyfriend. With the terms set, Yuma and Anna begin their duel.
As the duel progresses, Anna's powerful but reckless "Train" deck is able to put Yuma on the defensive. Feeling confident, Anna reminisces about one of the things she did to "Yuma": stealing a card from him and climbing a tree to make him beg for it. Yuma, however, says he doesn't remember doing that, to which Anna doesn't believe him before attempting to end the duel. However, Yuma is able to overcome her attack and win the duel. As Anna wallows in her defeat, Kotori finally reminds Yuma and Anna about the latter's crush on the similarly named Yuya Tsukune. Realizing her mistake, Anna finally leaves while leaving an angry Yuma empty-handed (as she wasn't a competitor in the World Duel Carnival). As Anna flies off on her cannon, she starts developing actual feelings for Yuma that quickly become an actual desire for revenge against him.
World Duel Carnival Finals[]
In an attempt to get to Yuma again, Anna had ambushed one of the WDC finalists, tied them up, and took their place while hiding her identity under a cloak. Entering her Duel Coaster car, she and the other finalists (not including Yuma, who had to wait while his friends got his Heart Pieces for him) take off and began dueling.
Eventually, Anna was able to find a now caught up Yuma as he and Kotori (who accidentally ended up in the car with him) were surrounded by a trio of duelists attempting to defeat Yuma and fulfill a bounty on him. She intervenes in the 3-on-1 duel and assists Yuma, only to put herself in danger as the leader of trio summons a powerful Fusion Monster against her. Yuma attempted to assist Anna, only to be blocked off by the other two duelists. Thankfully, Gauche arrives and ultimately defeats one of the trio, allowing Yuma to change lanes and assist Anna, to which Anna is grateful. Yuma then uses each of the monsters he, Anna, and Gauche had to summon a powerful Xyz monster in an attempt to end the duel, only for another of the trio to take the hit and be defeated, forcing the leader to retreat.
Now out of danger, Anna reveals that she wanted to see Yuma again and also reveals that she forcefully switched places with another finalist to do so. The discussion is interrupted when the leader returns and attempts to defeat Yuma with a final attack. Anna responds by taking the hit and letting herself be defeated, allowing Yuma the opportunity to defeat the leader. Yuma thanks Anna (now riding her cannon) for helping him, and Anna responds by telling him to win the championship as she flies off while Yuma and Gauche continue to the next section of the Duel Coaster.
Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL II[]
Barian Invasion[]
At Heartland Academy's Culture Festival, Anna unceremoniously arrives at a "monster café" that Yuma was working at the time, only to laugh at Yuma's choice of outfit. They get interrupted by another of Yuma's friends - Rei Shingetsu - who reveals to them that a Couples Duel Tournament is happening at the festival, with special guests in the form of pro-duelist couple Tobio and Umimi Habara (the latter being Anna's former duel mentor) and also reveals the rumor that Umimi was retiring afterward, which angers Anna. Wanting answers to the rumor, Anna asks Yuma to join the tournament with her, only for Kotori and Cathy (who were also working at the café) to deny her and for two other girls to inform her that only Academy students could participate. Anna responds to that by "borrowing" one of Kotori's uniforms and passing for a student. When Yuma refuses to join her, Anna strongarms him into joining by threatening him with her cannon.
Yuma and Anna arrive at the arena where Tobio and Umimi are currently. The Habaras remember Anna as a guest at their wedding, and Umimi mistakes Yuma as being her boyfriend, to which he denies, but Anna is too focused on Umimi's (supposed) retirement to respond. Eventually, the four begin their tag duel. Unfortunately, Anna's reckless dueling style begins interfering with Yuma's approach while Tobio and Umimi are found to be in perfect sync with each other, willing to take blows for each other and punishing Yuma's and Anna's mistakes.
The two continue getting in each other's ways and arguing, which upsets Umimi since it runs counter to what she had been trying to teach Anna. Umimi is upset enough that it causes her to fall under Barian control as she begins focusing on Anna. In response to this, Yuma protects Anna by taking a large amount of damage that would have defeated her. This sacrifice makes Anna realize what Umimi was trying to teach her and, in turn, she protects Yuma with a particular spell card (that Umimi herself had given Anna at her and Tobio's wedding) that also lets Yuma draw a card at the expense of dropping Anna life points to zero. Anna's sacrifice ultimately lets Yuma defeat Umimi and Tobio, breaking Umimi free of Barian control, as well. In the aftermath of the duel, Umimi reveals to Anna that she's only taking a break from dueling, not retiring, because she's pregnant and also encourages Anna to go after her true love. That "encouraging" occurs when Umimi pushes Anna right into Yuma, making the two fall down a nearby set of stairs.
Barian Emperor Onslaught[]
When Yuma becomes debilitated after his Emperor's Key reacts harshly with Nasch's Barian emblem, Anna is among those of Yuma's friends who covers his escape, going against the emperor Mizael. Anna proclaims that she won't let Mizael lay a finger on HER Yuma before being joined by Fuya Okudaira and the two proceed to duel Mizael. Sadly, despite Anna's and Fuya's best efforts, they lose, with Anna sadly hating herself for not protecting Yuma before her soul is sent to Barian World.
Anna, along with Yuma's other friends, are ultimately revived following Nasch's final defeat and the resulting separation of Barian World and Earth. Riding atop her cannon, Anna happily joins the reunion with Yuma, saying that she had believed in him. Later on, while Yuma is preparing for his duel against Astral for fate of Barian World and the Numeron Code, Anna arrives with the others (blowing a hole in Yuma's room in the process) and joins them in offering Yuma to add her cards into his deck for the duel, an offer that Yuma declines. Anna would eventually witness Yuma defeating Astral and the completion of the Numeron Code. After the duel, and after everything had settled down, Anna is revealed to have transferred into Heartland Academy and became part of Yuma's circle of friends.
