Knightclub is the slash ship between Sprout Mole Mike and Sir Maximus IV from the Omori fandom.

Canon

The two have never met in-game. However, they were considered to be complementary because of the shared grievances, habits and location choices.

Sprout Mole Mike had an interest in Sweetheart. For example, this is shown through his presence in a Sweetheart poster from Pessi's thing. And at Last Resort's Club Sandwich, he was also despaired because he was getting drunk due to jealousy as Space Boyfriend getting all of her attention instead of him. From this point, he wanted a lover. However, his efforts on being Sweetheart's co-host of her show to be noticed by her were in vain.

Sir Maximus IV, on the other hand, had a way more tragic fate. He lost his whole family consisting of his father, grandfather and great-grandfather in a day. The three were doing their job on guarding Sweetheart's Castle, and all got slain by the time when Omori and his friends were trying to find a way out. He was also, coincidentally, drinking his sorrows away at a Club Sandwich in the Pyrefly Forest joint, filled with regrets because he couldn't protect his own ancestors. From this point, he wanted a family.

Quotes

“Hicc... ... Space Boyfriend this... Space Boyfriend that... What about Sprout Mole Mike?”

Fanon

Knightclub is one of the most obscure ships within the Omori fandom. Not many people are putting their matters on Sprout Mole ships. Both Sprout Mole Mike and Sir Maximus IV are NPCs, and do not have any significant roles in the main storyline of the game. Therefore, they get little to no attention from the majority of the fandom. Other ships that involve human NPCs will overshadow Knightclub.
Usually, the fanon ship consists of the two marrying each other, because of Mike's pursuit of love and Max's yearning to find a family, resulting in them becoming husbands.

The name "Knightclub" comes from the knightly tradition that the Sir Maximus legacy have adhered upon, and the fact that they both were drunk to cope with the loss of their loved ones in Club Sandwich. It makes a pun on "Nightclub", reflecting on both Mike and Max's current habits.
