Skill Issue is the friendship between Angel and Mikhael from the Omori fandom.

Canon

Angel and Mikhael are both residents of Faraway Town. They are friends, and both became members of The Hooligans at some point in their life. Angel and Mikhael also appear particularly close. In fact, Angel greatly idolises Mikhael, considering the latter to be his "master". He also constantly refers to Mikhael as simply his "master". He also occasionally attempts to mimic Mikhael's moves. He also sees Mikhael as a mentor. Mikhael also appears to have taught Angel some of his own moves. After winning in battle, Angel will credit Mikhael with having taught him well.

On the day Sunny came out of his house, Angel, Mikhael and the rest of the Hooligans bullied Basil at the park. They watched on as Aubrey attempted to fight Kel and Sunny before the Sunny wounded her with a knife, resulting in the Hooligans backing off. Later, when Sunny and Kel attempt to obtain Aubrey's whereabouts, they defeat Angel, who reluctantly directs them to Mikhael. In the evening, Angel, Mikhael and Charlie went to the park on their scooters. However, when Sunny and Kel come over to the park, Angel and Charlie were not present for unknown reasons, having left Mikhael by himself.

Fanon

The ships is rather uncommon. This is largely due to how both Mikhael and Angel are side characters. Most choose to see the ship as a friendship as Angel is noted in the game as being younger than Mikhael. Most fans see Angel being significantly younger than Mikhael. As such, a relationship would be problematic. Those who do ship them romantically tend to headcannon Angel as being around the same age as Mikhael. Additionally, many see Mikhael and the rest of the Hooligans as a found family of sorts to Angel.

The ship name Guardian most likely comes from Angel's name and how Mikhael acts as a guardian of his of sorts. As the ship is rather rare, there is little fanart of it. The ship as a whole is not well known. Those who ship it often do so as they appear to share a close bond, especially with how highly Angel thinks of Mikhael.
