Sanemi, Obanai, and Mitsuri are all Hashira-ranked Demon Slayers affiliated with the Demon Slayer Corps. They all use their own individual Breathing Styles, Sanemi uses Wind Breathing and is the Wind Hashira, while Obanai uses Serpent Breathing, and Mitsuri utilizes Love Breathing, a Breathing Style she created herself.
They rarely appear together as a trio. Obanai has a strong bond with Mitsuri and Sanemi, whereas Mitsuri and Sanemi have infrequent interactions, but Mitsuri is shown to have admiration for Sanemi.
Obanai and Mitsuri are canonically in love and often spend time together. Neither are willing to admit their love for each other due to several reasons including both of their respective struggles with self image. In the Second Fanbook, when the Hashiras are asked to describe how they perceive their colleagues, Obanai and Mitsuri both speak highly of each other.
Meanwhile, Obanai and Sanemi frequently converse as they share a close friendship. Despite their highly assertive personalities, they maintain a warm rapport. Their bond stems from their akin dispositions and possibly their shared animosity towards Giyu Tomioka, a fellow Hashira. Sanemi and Obanai frequently appear alongside each other in merchandise and have also gone on joint missions, underscoring their strong connection. They share a fierce devotion to killing demons due to their backstories. In the Second Fanbook, they both address each other respectfully and Sanemi even considers Obanai a “friend that I [Sanemi] get along with”.
Mitsuri and Sanemi rarely engage with each other, despite their mutual link through Obanai. Sanemi finds Mitsuri bothersome and prefers to avoid her company. Conversely, Mitsuri perceives Sanemi as intimidating but views this as part of his appeal. She also deeply admires Sanemi, much like she does with the other Hashiras.

SaneObaMitsu is a well-received pairing, especially on platforms like Twitter. The polyamorous ship likely stemmed from the fandom's undying love for the canon pairing ObaMitsu, the het ship between Obanai and Mitsuri, and from fans who enjoy SaneOba, the slash relationship between Sanemi and Obanai. However, some fans who ship SaneObaMitsu also enjoy the het pairing between Sanemi and Mitsuri, that ship being SaneMitsu. Fans of SaneObaMitsu commonly see the pairing as Obanai simply having two lovers, Sanemi and Mitsuri or as Mitsuri simply having two lovers, Obanai and Sanemi, instead of the three having mutual love for each other.
Their behavior in fan content can vary due to this ship being considered a rarepair. On platforms like TikTok, most people are unfamiliar with the pairing and outright hate it for no apparent reason, likely due to the ship being fanon. Although, SaneObaMitsu can be considered semi-canon due to Obanai and Mitsuri's obvious feelings for each other, while SaneOba and SaneMitsu remain fanon.
Occasionally, Sanemi, Obanai, and Mitsuri appear together in official merchandise due to Sanemi and Obanai always being together, and Mitsuri sometimes being near Obanai because of their romantic connection.
