Ultimate Artists is the friendship between Angie Yonaga and Jataro Kemuri from the Danganronpa fandom.
Canon[]
Jataro is a character in Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls, and Angie is a character from Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony. As such, the characters do not share a "canon" and do not interact. As they come from different games in the franchise, they would be considered a crossover friendship, or a cross-game friendship. Jataro is the "Li'l Ultimate Art" student at Hope's Peak Elementary, while Angie is the "Ultimate Artist" at the Academy for Gifted Juveniles. In the world of Danganronpa V3, Jataro is a fictional character so he and Angie could never truly meet. Still, the two characters are very similar in the fact that they share an ultimate talent in art.
In the non-canonical Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp, the pair share a few interactions. In the first, Jataro approaches Monomi and asks if he can use her as a prop in his art project. Monomi protests, but Angie joins the conversation and agrees that Monomi would make for a great addition. When she mentions her god, Jataro says that god probably doesn't like him very much. Angie agrees, much to Jataro's delight. Jataro decides he wants to make god even more displeased with him, so he decides to kidnap Monomi. Angie says that Atua may strike him down for that, which excites Jataro. The same event is played out with Usami as well, with some minor differences. Usami encourages them to get along since they are fellow artists, and Angie even offers to show Jataro some of her art.
Angie later appears in Jataro's "Future" event. He collects a small group of older students to show off his art diorama to, and Angie appears to be the only one that isn't disturbed by his art. He decides that, because of this, Angie is like "one of [them]", referring to the Warriors of Hope. Angie tries to offer Jataro some tips for improving his art, which upsets Jataro as he wanted everyone to despise him instead. Later on, when Jataro calls Kazuichi Soda a "weirdo", Angie appears to agree with him.
Fanon[]
Ultimate Artists is a rare dynamic in the Danganronpa fandom. This is likely due to the fact that the large age difference between the two means that they are only ever paired together platonically, and most fans prefer romantic relationships. As well, coming from two different games their only interactions are in the side game Danganronpa S, which not as many people have played.
Still, the ship does have its fair amount of fans. Supporters of the friendship between Angie and Jataro tend to be Jataro fans. They want to see him form strong bonds and friendships, especially considering the other members of the Warriors of Hope don't show much appreciation towards him. These fans believe that Angie would be a good friend and mentor to Jataro. Seeing as Angie started the Student Council in Danganronpa V3 and was known for being accepting and welcoming, many believe that she would be very accepting of Jataro and his many quirks.
Ultimate Artists currently has only 2 fanworks on AO3.
