Much like Sakura, I feel like a lot of people would have it bad for Akane. It's honestly wild that she didn't have a Kazuichi or Tenko equivalent, because people would simp so hard for her. Like, she is what "Not to be a lesbian but oh my god" was made for. The parkour, the casual disposition, the gleefully clueless behavior? Get outta here. She goes through life with such an air of confidence, she completely lacks self-consciousness when she admits she doesn't understand something, she has a cute smile, come on. This girl has Undyne energy.

In fact, here's me lowballing a list of characters I think had a crush on Akane when they were attending Hope's Peak:

Chihiro. Absolutely. Akane is strong in so many ways that Chihiro would appreciate. I can just see Chihiro in the library working on some new project (maybe white hat hacking the school) and Akane parkours past a window and Chihiro just runs up to the window and stares out, admiring. Chihiro blushing when Akane walks past. Chihiro smiling shyly when Akane calls her by the misremembered name she never corrected. (Might be "Cheerio" or "Fuji Apples".) One day Chihiro and Chiaki are hanging out, and Chihiro mentions having a crush on Akane (which, to a lot of people, would be like playing a Tomb Raider game and saying, "Wait a minute, is Lara Croft kind of hot?"), and Chiaki just goes, "Of course. She's the Undyne to your Alphys." And it changes Chihiro's life.

Mahiru. She swears she usually likes people she considers "reliable", but Akane's free spirit nature just really speaks to her. (Not to give credence to Freud, but I do think the experience of her mother often being out of reach was a formative one, and Akane being someone who will be having a conversation with you one minute, fighting coach the next, and climbing the school the next, would maybe invoke a lot of those feelings for Mahiru.) And she starts to notice that Akane has some depth to her that others don't care to notice, and that drives her crazy. Someone talks crap about Akane, and Mahiru lambastes them to the moon and back. Hiyoko would hate it. Like, it would be just the hugest force of humbling for Hiyoko. I like Hiyoko, by the by; it's just deeply funny how much of her classism would get challenged over this.

Gundham. I kind of addressed this in my Soniakanedam posts, but yeah, I feel like Gundham could easily have a crush on both Akane and Sonia for very different reasons. He has two subtly different energies that he likes to embody, and Akane matches one and Sonia matches the other, and it blends so well. And not for nothing, he would be such a gentleman about it.

Mikan. Easy. Akane is just walking around slightly injured all the time, and she's there insisting Akane sits down so she can at least bandage her, and also cautioning that Akane should really wear a helmet when she does dangerous things, and generally fretting over her in a way she doesn't get a lot. And Akane defends her to other people in a way she doesn't get a lot. It's easy.

Teruteru, but that's almost a free space.

Leon, but with a vibe comparable to Teruteru, in that I'm not serious about it.

Makoto could have a small crush on her, probably in passing. I'm hearing "big-boobed supermodel" and I'm thinking he would at least notice her as an older student who is pretty and cooler than him.

Potentially Nekomaru, but I think it would take him a while to recognize his feelings for what they are. And also I'm kind of partial to them being the way they are but it's completely platonic. But romantically, it's a nice ship that I do like.

(Okay so I have thought about a throuple with Akane, Fuyuhiko, and Peko for a while now, but I'll save that for some other time. It might just be that I want to ship Akane with Peko. It's kind of a Celeste/Hina situation, in that I think Peko would not want to have a crush on Akane but would be unable to help it. Any potential for romance between Fuyuhiko and Akane I mostly see in the post-SDR2 space.)

The only reason I'm not listing Sonia is because I see it less as a crush than a casually flirty friendship with the potential to become more.

I don't get why no one ships Fuyuhiko and Akane

I mean, it's pretty obvious why. There are better people they could be shipped with (i.e. Peko, Nekomaru) that and Akane is highly underrated. But there was a scene in Chapter 4 where Fuyuhiko is explaining to Akane about moving on after losing someone, because to Fuyuhiko, seeing Akane lose Nekomaru was no different from him losing Peko. However, Akane wasn't paying attention and starts to think that Fuyuhiko was instead hitting on her.

I've seen little content of fans ship these two, to the point where the shipping wiki doesn't have a name or article about this ship. If such a ship was popular, what would it be called? Kuzuwari? Fuyukane?

Anyways, I just felt like sharing this piece of info.

please tell me your kuzupekowari thoughts

invented them in my mind because kuzupeko and pekowari r my favorite peko ships… I think they’d just clash really well

kuzupeko doesn’t really need an explanation. kuzuwari is mostly because of some of the convos they had in the funhouse. and there is no technical reason for pekowari I just thought really hard about how their dynamic would be one day and now I like them

I think it’s cool how the whole throuple could probably kill you

Rarepair fic time!!

—

Something to match the mature glimmer in Akane’s eyes strikes a flint and lights a fire in him, his free hand curling around a full-bodied rice ball that seemed larger than all the rest. The word immaturity doesn’t fit her, he silently says to himself as he sinks his teeth into the slightly sweet snack. He thinks she is something else, but he cannot put a finger on one what.

Kind, he decides on as he swallows the bite of rice. Akane is kind.

[Fuyuhiko and Akane requested by @chaiilattes !!]

If you’ve requested a rarepair fic, just know that I have written it down and am working on it SUPER slowly but surely! :D (it takes a while to plan these out considering the length i make em, but hopefully they’re worth the wait?)

Kuzuwari headers with themes of trust/support for anon! Sorry if the theme isn’t as prominent as you’d like, but I tried my best! Please reblog if you use one of these!

Fuyuhiko, out of everyone here, who would you say you hate the least?

You think I care about any of these idiots enough to hate them?

Well, I guess Saionji’s not really an idiot. Owari is, but she’s also sort of tolerable.

[visionshipping]

akane ?

akane akane!! favorite thing about them: her smile! and how protective and caring she is of everyone that’s around her!! and her determination!!least favorite thing about them: danganronpa PLEASE learn how to draw women favorite line: Sonia has a really cool theory to present in a non stop debate and it’s a really throwaway line but akane says “you go girl!” and she’s the ONLY one supporting her brOTP: kuzuwari!! very good wlw mlm solidarity. she helps him ask out dudes by being very loud about it close to them OTP: honestly despite the URL I’m leaning towards akabuki?? i just think these two would be so fun together and also very balanced! they’re both carefree and VERY supportive! nOTP: anyone where she’s with a dude lmao,,, but especially akanidai that’s boring as hell random headcanon: i really think she’s overcome a lot to get to where she is! she details some pretty awful things that have happened to her but I think she’s got really good self reflection skills and she’s way smarter than people give her credit for >:cunpopular opinion: i mean? honestly I think she’s really heavily lesbian coded. I’m also incredibly glad she was one of the survivors! song i associate with them: candy by Robbie Williams!! also pin by grimes 💓favorite picture of them: I’m on mobile so I’ll rb with a sprite!!

Fuyuhiko Kuzuryuu

O FUCK MY BEST BOI!!!

How I feel about this character: [bilLIONS OF HEART EMOJIS ‘CAUSE I’M NOT ON MOBILE BUT IT’S THE ONLY WAY TO EXPRESS MY FEELINGS]

All the people I ship romantically with this character: akane owari, hajime hinata… kuzuwari is so fuckin god-tier tbh and anyone who thinks otherwise is, uh, Wrong

My non-romantic OTP for this character: peko!! i don’t ship them romantically for similar reasons why i’m not into charon/lw. i could never quite get into brainwashed bodyguard x the person they’re guarding. But. i do acknowledge that she’s really important to him, and i like that he wants her to do her own thing and live her own life outside of him. it’s good.

My unpopular opinion about this character: i don’t know if i have many unpopular opinions about him?? besides romantic kuzupeko is Bad. that’s an extremely unpopular opinion.

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: i wish they had made kuzuwari real ;_; out of all the characters, i think they had the most potential for a stable canon relationship. they care abt each other sO MUCH… there should have been more kuzuwari moments ‘cause their dynamic is Really Good tbh
