My favorite ship for each SDR2 Character

***Hard mode: I cannot double up on the couples. So each character must have a different ship***

*Note: I did not fact check any of this so forgive me if some areas are wrong*

Akane: Akane x Nekomaru

Considering Akane’s past, I think Nekomaru is the only male character that could ever make Akane feel comfortable. I headcanon Nekomaru as ace so whenever he would give Akane a massage, there was not an ounce of perversion. Any time Nekomaru looked at Akane’s body it was as a team manager who honestly cared about her. Meanwhile, Nekomaru appreciates how lively Akane is. As someone who was bedridden for most his life, he loves to watch Akane jump around. He loves laughing with her with all his heart.

Imposter: Imposter x Ibuki

I like the idea of someone who can’t be themself with someone giving up everything to be themself.

Chiaki: Chiaki x Peko

I think a lot of wlw ships involve Person A trying to fix Peko. But Chiaki x Peko is sweet because I can see Chiaki accepting Peko as she is. Chiaki is very patience and only wants Peko to change if Peko WANTS to change. Meanwhile Peko is enamored by Chiaki. Chaiki is very chill and not overwhelming. But she’s not boring at all, she can get passionate when she wants to be. Peko loves learning more about Chiaki and her interests. While Peko can’t understand other’s people life experience such as a normal childhood, she can easily understand Chiaki’s video games. These two take turns looking out for each other.

Fuyuhiko: Fuyuhiko x Hajime

Their relationship is based on being equals. They’re each other comfort. They’re both caregivers who wants to take care of everyone but themselves. They understand even after all the crazy things they went though, at the core of everything: they’re both hurt men clinging to any resemblance of normalcy. They know when it’s important to pick up their titles/responsibilities, and when to throw it to the side. And if they ever slip, they know they have someone who has their back. And it’s only thank to that safety net, they know they can be vulnerable.

Gundham: Gundham x Peko

This one is cheating because I only see them as platonic. It’s Sondam or bust. But these two can be so interesting if you just look past their love of animals as their only common factor. Gundham, thinking he’s this dark entity of lord and evil. Meanwhile Peko comes in and is actually a tragedy. While he was born between the unity of a demon and angel, her birth was shunned by the entire world. Her piercing stare that scares man and animal alike. Her sword always sharp enough to take a life. Oh what is Gundham to do? A worthy challenger has come for his title of tragic anime character. The only way to rectify this is to obviously lift Peko up to the point where he alone stands on this solitary platform. Anyways, I have a lot of scenarios where Gundham tries to cheer up Peko for not feeling normal.

Hajime: Hajime x Chiaki

Hands down, this is the most domestic/vanilla ship on the list. Everything is tragic because these two can’t be together. Chiaki, this Ultimate that has what Hajime wanted, turns out to be a really relatable girl. Her talent, video games, is the great equalizer. Anyone can play video games. It can bring people together. Chiaki is on the same wavelength as Hajime. She brings the title of Ultimate to his level. These two truly get along and have great chemistry. Everything is tragic because these two can’t be together.

Hiyoko: Hiyoko x Mahiru

(Warning: Ship Negativity)

This is the only ship on this list where I have no love whatsoever. But you would be sorely mistaken if you think I would give the time of day to Hiyoko’s character. Hiyoko x Mahiru wins by default. Hiyoko being entirely reliant on Mahiru whilst Mahiru ignores all of Hiyoko’s incivilities does not sit well with me. I do like the fact that Hiyoko wants to change for Mahiru, the story does not develop it well enough and I do not have the mental capacity to explore it. I would love to see Hiyoko and Fuyuhiko have a conversation akin to Tanjiro and Zenitsu about Nezuko; where if Hiyoko keeps getting babied by Mahiru then Mahiru will never see her as more than just a sister.

Ibuki: Ibuki x Peko

(Warning: Ship Negativity)

I know this is a good ship. For personal reasons I do not like this ship but if I can look past my biases, I know this is a good ship. I hate how most Ibuki x Peko shippers mindset towards this ship is “Ibuki deserves a hot sword girlfriend” and ignores Peko in the long run (Please don’t say, Ibuki can teach Peko to be more outspoken. That just inherently demonizes Peko for being a quiet girl, WHICH ISN”T A CHARACTER FLAW). I also hate how most of the fanart I’ve seen of these two highlight the sexual aspect of their relationship. The most common trope I see is the two stare at each other with sexual desire, which makes Peko feel OOC for the most part. I haven’t really seen anyone develop these two platonically (mind you, I haven’t been looking). I think it could be cute if they were each other’s cheerleaders. Ibuki vocally exclaiming how cool Peko is. Peko silently support Ibuki at all her shows. If you focus on the fact they’re complete opposites but mesh really well, the ship could work. But people don’t, and it pisses me off.

Kazuichi: Kazuichi x Ibuki

These two loud idiots should kiss. They give me vibes that they both crave attention so the two love being the center of each other’s eye. Both of their love language is Act of Service (as evident to Kazuichi making Mini Mechamaru and throwing a concert). Eventually they would tire themselves out trying to out do each other. After bouncing on the walls, these two can easily transition to just chilling in each other’s present. They’re also the power couple of questionable fashion taste.

Mahiru: Mahiru x Kazuichi

DON’T GET ME WRONG. I know these two would just end in a messy divorce but they can also get some true genuine moments with each other. I don’t like ships where it can only work if both character changes for each other. But I do see the appeal of Kazuichi cleaning up his act for Mahiru and Mahiru lightening up for Kazuichi. Mahiru learning slowly that it’s unfair to expect Kazuichi to be brave because he’s a man. But all ways to Sunday I think these two would break up because Mahiru is a giant lesbian who has bad comphet ideals. BUT UNTIL THEN, I would like to see Kazuichi trying his hardest to impress Mahiru. And Mahiru giving Kazuichi little kisses and taking a picture of his flustered face.

Mikan: Mikan x Ibuki

They have a cute ship name: Band-Aid. I think fanon Mikan x Ibuki works really well. If you try think about how Ibuki does not stand up for Mikan at all in canon, the ship get murky. But forget canon, lesbians are forever. Imagine Mikan going from manipulative Junko to transparent Ibuki. Imagine Mikan getting all the attention she ever wanted from Ibuki! Now Imagine Ibuki shunned by her old group for her radical ideals. Mikan would never shun Ibuki like that.

Nagito: Nagito x Hajime

I’m not the biggest Komahina fan (sorry) so sorry if this is off based. I think these two are great foils for each other because they both want the same things. The only problem is that these two take vastly different approaches to get to the same goal. Everything about Nagito confuses Hajime. Hajime can’t comprehend why he acts the way he does, why Nagito makes him smile, why Nagito puts him at ease? Hajime is constantly trying to understand Nagito. Meanwhile Nagito is trying to make a connection with someone. He thinks too lowly of himself to make a genuine connection. He lost everyone who should’ve loved him. He sees comradery in Hajime, both being nothing special. But what’s special is that they’re both so desperately want to make a connection. These two add new perspective to each other’s thoughts. I think the appeal of the ship is that they’re traveling the same path but does it dramatically different.

Nekomaru: Nekomaru x Nagito

HEAR ME OUT. The ship started when I got sad at the fact that Nagito was just tied up for most of Chapter 2. Think of the muscle athrophy! Unless... Nekomaru secretly went to visit Nagito. And Nagito was only allowed out if he exorcised with Nekomaru. That way he would never leave Nekomaru’s sight but get to stretch his legs. I also like the one anthology where they bonded over being sick kids. Oh and in the DR3 anime where Nekomaru lifted him up like a sack of potatoes.

Peko: Peko x Fuyuhiko

Peko loves Fuyuhiko so much. Everything she did was for him. And she’s such a good driving force for Fuyuhiko. She gives him space so he can grow, she’s proud of his kind heart, she is genuinely cares for him. She loves him so much, but she also accepted the fact that he doesn’t need her (or so she thought). Everything Peko does for Fuyuhiko is so selfless and pure and she literally doesn’t ask for anything in return. In her dying moments she only request that he remembers her. AND THEN TO FIND OUT THE LOVE WAS RECIPROCAL? FUYUHIKO NEEDS HER THE SAME WAY SHE NEEDED HIM? The only way to reward this selfless love is a lifetime of bliss!

Sonia: Sonia x Gundham

I love these two weirdos so much. Imagine these two being outcast for their interests their whole life and then finding someone who fully accepted them. And I love how at their core, they’re both very caring people. Two kind people, battered by the world, find someone who does not shy away from them. Sonia, not phased by Gundham’s dark persona. Gundham, doesn’t let Sonia’s title affect how he treats her.

Teruteru: Teruteru x Imposter

He was a chef, and and he was a food connoisseur. Could I make it any more obvious? I just think it’s cute, the Imposter could be anyone he wanted, and he chooses to be this country bumpkin’s husband.
