favorite ship dynamics (anime edition)

(not an artist and don’t know how to draw, but still wanted to give this a try, tried to cram almost all of my ships here)

BODYGUARD CRUSH SET-UP, with copious amounts of devoted to you, using duty as a front, but really out of love, one feels responsible for the well-being of another, emotional and physical co-dependency, either the person doing the bodyguarding or being bodyguarded can be oblivious, or both are oblivious but have crushes on each other, layered with angst due to differences in position

Hak x Yona (Akatsuki no Yona)

Chidori x Sousuke (Fullmetal Panic)

Lan Fan x Ling (Full Metal Alchemist)

Hei x Yin (Darker than Black)

Integra x Alucard (Hellsing) (The darkest ship in this list. Rather than body-guarding, it’s literally a dog from hell kind of deal, but COUNT AND COUNTESS c’mon, has shades of Actual Married Couple and Servile Snarker with a complete absence of fluff.)

Lena x Shin (86) (Also fits under Everyone Can See It. The hilarity comes from how everyone from subordinates, superiors, the canteen people, their pet cat and every random person on the street, and even inanimate machines can see it while no one bats an eye. It’s also hilarious how inappropriate they’re being, haha. The co-dependency and devoted to you is definitely there, but it’s like, no one actually cares about the chain of command?? Royai, get tips from this ship stat.)

Violet x Gilbert (Violet Evergarden)

(SERVILE) SNARKER AND WIDE-EYED IDEALIST, a bit like the bodyguard set-up, but something ties the two people together, wherein the one who typically ‘serves’ does it full of snark, but they would literally die for the person they’re bound to, angst as a result of not knowing if the feelings are due to the bond or their own, of course the devotion is all theirs, one party is usually more innocent or believes in the best of people while the other is a cynic or more experienced and world-weary, they learn from each other due to their differing perspectives

Tomoe x Nanami (Kamisama Hajimemashita)

Soul x Maka (Soul Eater)

Akiyama and Nao (Liar Game)

Tsunemori Akane and Kogami Shinya (Psycho-Pass)

WORTHY RIVALS, hate-love relationship, super competitive with each other, the only one allowed to defeat you, equal gender dynamic, tied together with their rivalry, claims to hate each other, but in truth heavily relies and trusts each other, so they fight with each other, but they also fight with each other

Souma x Erina (Shokugeki no Soma)

Okita and Kagura (Gintama)

May and Drew/ContestShipping (Pokemon)

Sunako x Kyouhei (Wallflower/Yamato Nadeshiko Shichihenge)

Yankumi x Shin (Gokusen)

Haruo x Akira (High Score Girl)

BICKERS LIKE A MARRIED COUPLE, also has shades of hate/love, pretends not to care but gets jealous easily, tsundere and tsundere combination, belligerent sexual tension, she’s not my girlfriend/boyfriend! shenanigans

Ed x Winry (Full Metal Alchemist)

Ranma x Akane (Ranma 1/2)

Ash and Misty/Pokemonshipping (Pokemon)

Kashino x Ichigo (Yumeiro Patissiere)

Okabe x Kurisu (Steins;Gate)

Bossun x Himeko (Sket Dance)

Ueki x Mori (Law of Ueki) (Ueki is a lot more laid-back though, so more like a henpecked husband?)

Heiji x Kazuha (Detective Conan)

Kaito x Aoko (Magic Kaito)

Miyu x Kanata (UFO Baby)

OPPOSITES ATTRACT delinquent and honor student, uptight loves wild, top of the class with the class clown/flirt/wild child/troublemaker etc., alternatively someone aggressive with someone who’s a pacifist, at first they can’t stand each other because of their opposing traits but that’s what they come to love most in the other, yin-and-yang

Yusuke x Keiko (Yu Yu Hakusho)

Kaneki x Touka (Tokyo Ghoul)

Satowa x Chika (Kono Oto Tomare) (ojousama x delinquent dynamic)

Anya and Damian (under the precocious crush category) (they’re just kids, but still cute, and hilarious, as with everything in this series) (Spy x Family)

Zoro and Tashigi (One Piece)

Gold and Crystal/MangaquestShipping (Pokemon Special)

Karma and Okuda (Assassination Classroom)

Nodame x Chiaki (Nodame Cantabile) (This ship and shinkumi from gokusen, akinao from liar game, and sunakyo from yamato nadeshiko shichihenge all fall under the limited category of jdrama ships which I also love which can also fall under the dynamic of deadpan, serious, ‘everyone around me is an idiot’ guy who is unfortunately in love with the most idiotic of them all girl. idiot x idiot’s minder dynamics are so much fun when the dumbass in question is the girl haha)

CHILDHOOD FRIENDS, my favorite dynamic, gentle girl and brooding boy, energetic girl with the cool boy, warm and cold, usually person A is popular but only has eyes for person B but person B either only sees them as a friend or is in love with someone else, so much angst, person A will do anything to make person B happy and protect their smiles, overprotective, pining

Hitsugaya x Hinamori (Bleach)

Zero x Yuuki (Vampire Knight)

Taichi x Chihaya (Chihayafuru)

Kei x Hikari (Special A)

Yanagi x Kujou (Last Game)

Yoshimori and Tokine (Kekkaishi) (Yoshimori doesn’t exactly fit most of the qualities but plays this trope straight, oh the pining)

Athy x Lucas (Who Made Me a Princess?) (ok, so this one is a webcomic)

ACTUAL MARRIED COUPLE, not married but really they’re married, domestic fluff, so much shared history, they know each other inside and out, shades of the childhood friends dynamic but having reached its final form, inside jokes, everyone knows, usually the mom and dad of a group, the mature ones, on the angst side, shared trauma, emotional healing, but hella mutually emotionally supportive, they prop each other up, the best team

Shinichi x Ran (Detective Conan)

Roy x Riza (Fullmetal Alchemist) Medaka x Zenkichi (Medaka Box)

Franky and Robin (One Piece)

Twilight x Yor (Spy x Family) (Actual Married Couple and yet not, they are hilarious ok?)

Taiyou x Mutsumi (Yozakura Family) (another criminally underrated ship and spy series)

Naegi x Kirigiri (Danganronpa)

Jessie and James (Pokemon)

Black and White/AgencyShipping (Pokemon Special)

Todoroki and YaoMomo (BNHA)

009 x 003 (Re: Cyborg 009)

Isogai and Kataoka (Assassination Classroom)

STEPFORD SMILER AND STRAIGHTFORWARD TSUNDERE, the guy is handsome and seductive, but plain weird, he’s messed up and emotionally constipated, hides his real thoughts, eccentric and flighty, shows his love through weird ways, falls in love with someone fierce and straightforward, guy has self-loathing issues and thinks he doesn’t deserve the girl, girl would knock them silly for their weird displays at the same time for beating themselves up, they believe in each other’s worth and are instrumental to each other’s self confidence, they reaffirm each other, girl usually gets red and flustered, but guy finds that charming about them, usually angel/devil ship

Amu x Ikuto (Shugo Chara)

Usui x Misaki (Kaichou wa Maid-Sama)

Hanako x Yashiro (Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun) (Don’t be fooled by that babey face)

Gin x Rangiku (Bleach)

Ren x Kyoko (Skip Beat)

Ruby x Sapphire/FranticShipping (Pokemon Special)

Lydia x Edgar (Earl and Fairy)

Ayano x Kazuma (Kaze no Stigma) Vanitas x Jeanne (Vanitas no Carte)

Akuto x Nari (Tenshi to Akuto) (This is an interesting example because it’s actually the reverse where the girl is the unfazed cheerful type while the guy is just an overbearing yet hotheaded tsundere. Another criminally underrated manga. This one is about voice acting. I just really love their dynamic as well.)

Samon x Tenshi (Samon the Summoner) (Actually falls under Opposites Attract as well, you just really got to love the Yin-and-Yang dynamic.)

Chateau x Ryang-Ha (Koroshi Ai)

Vash x Meryl (Trigun)

EVERYONE CAN SEE IT, adorable children, the pure and innocent ships, mutual crushes, both are soft charas, they get so shy around each other, how can they not realize their crush has a crush on them??, puppy love, pure and fluffy, nope no angst here, one or both are shy characters

Hijikata x Mitsuba (Gintama) (I lied about the no angst)

Chitanda x Oreki (Hyouka)

Akihisa x Mizuki (Baka to Test)

Izuku and Ochaco (BNHA)

Recca x Yanagi (Flame of Recca)

Hiroto x Kirari (Kirarin Revolution)

Kurata x Kurusu (Kono Oto Tomare)

EVERY STUDIO GHIBLI SHIP (THEY’RE ALL SO PURE, THEY FULFILL ALL OF MY SUGARY FLUFF NEEDS)

Souka x Katou (Ah! Itoshi no Banchousama) (I really like this couple’s dynamic, like out of all of these anime guys, I would like a guy like Katou in real life. When oh when will the manga update again?)

Ryou x Hakuou (Shitsuji-sama no Okiniiri) (This manga and the above are my comfort reads. I really like their dynamic where the guy is so mothering and caring over their slightly more impulsive partners. Amidst all of the ‘bad boy’ tropes, their relationships are just so refreshing.)

Kenshin x Kaoru (Samurai X)

Komi-san x Tadano-kun (Komi-san has a Communication Problem)

Rei x Hina (Sangatsu no Lion)

Shirayuki x Zen (Akagami no Shirayuki)

FIRST LOVE, love at first sight, usually dynamics where the girl is the one to fall in love first, love at first sight is cultivated as she gradually gets to know the person and comes to truly love the person for who he is, potential for heartbreak, but there is strength in love, girl remains faithful, guy is usually the cool type character or perhaps callous or just oblivious, and you feel for the girl as she gets her heart broken, and you don’t know how it happens and even the guy doesn’t know how it happens, he wasn’t thinking about love at all but somehow he comes to consider the girl an irreplaceable part of his life now, and the payoff is so so so sweet

Sasuke x Sakura (Naruto)

Gintoki and Tsukuyo (Gintama)

Kaede x Setsu (Mirmo de Pon; the OG ship of this trope for me, in fact, my very first anime ship)

Yellow and Red/SpecialShipping (Pokemon Special)

Ryoma x Sakuno (Prince of Tennis)

Rei x Aya (Super Gals!)

Eren x Mikasa (AOT)

Levi x Petra (AOT)

Tanjiro x Kanao (Kimetsu no Yaiba) (Of the Single Woman Seeks Good Man variety; Tanjiro is definitely not a cool type or bad boy, rather he is a pure angel; they are both pure angels who are perfect for each other)

Nagisa and Kayano (Assassination Classroom)

DORK IN LOVE WITH A TOUCH OF ABHORRENT ADMIRER, somewhat the reverse of the above, it’s the guy who’s more emotionally open, while the girl’s a bit closed off, guy is an actually puppy and a dumbass dork who wouldn’t hesitate about shouting his love for the girl from the rooftops, but he has his cool and badass moments, he fawns and spoils and can’t shut up about how great the girl is, while the girl is embarrassed or flustered or ticked off or all three, but the girl appreciates and shows her affection for the boy in subtle ways with an exasperated albeit fond ‘well, what can you do’ smile, she’ll still whack him when he gets too silly though

Yato x Hiyori (Noragami)

Sanji and Nami (One Piece)

Tamaki x Haruhi (Ouran High School Host Club)

Kondo and Otae (Gintama)

Zenitsu x Nezuko (Though again, Nezuko is too much of a pure angel to smack Zenitsu when the fawning gets too much though (it must run in the family))

Ryoshi x Ryoko (Ookami-san and her Seven Companions)

Mao Mao x Jinshi (Kusuriya no Hitorigoto)

Kaminari and Jiro (BNHA) (has shades of this, although I now realize dumbass dork x goth girlfriend deserves its own category. honestly, this started with bbrae)
