Weird Shippings: Kanna and Saikawa from Dragon Maid

[Cleverhardy (She/Her)]

Warning: this is not for edgememers who don't know what 'We*****' means as an insult, or those who will question weird shippings.

One of my first weird ships I came across would be Kanna Kamui and Riko Saikawa from Kobayashi's Dragon Maid. The premise here is that Kanna befriended all her classmates on her first day at school, making Saikawa jealous. But instead, a jealous fight doesn't happen; instead, Kanna happened to befriend Saikawa in a roundabout way, using crocodile tears ("I wanted to be friends").

But it gets weirder from there. Apart from just being a cute couple, Saikawa blushing everytime they touch, and from the fact that Kanna wanted to get even closer (and I mean closer, in a sexual sort of way; I know, right?), there is an age gap. Kanna, a dragon, might be 50,000 years old, whilst Saikawa is between 7 and 8. This creates a shipping that is definitely not similar to Twilight. /s

Why is this weird? The age gap for one and the fact that a dragon is shipped with a human for two. These two would create some sort of barrier between them. "A dragon lives forever, but not so little girls and boys" - Leonard Lipton, Puff the Magic Dragon (1959). This means Saikawa would grow, while Kanna would remain young.

But the obvious age difference wouldn't show until Saikawa would hit her 20s, at which point she would either look like an auntie, a big sister or a lesbian lolicon, the latter making the moral questions become more obvious (unless Kanna can be passed off as a legal loli...) But as long as Kanna and Saikawa are young, we will continue to ship them. Just a reminder though: RAVIOLI, RAVIOLI, DON'T LEWD THE DRAGON LOLI!

This is Cleverhardy saying: don't take ships too far. Not even on Valentines Day.

I guess that anime was so unpopular I can't even find it. Doesn't even seem like theres that many anime girls with Heterochromia.

I'm just putting the logic out there in case fanfictions get the lovebirds out of character and take these ships too far. But hey. Fanfiction.

Any ship involving any character is going to be OOC (out of character) if it's not canon.

Most you can do is match personality as best as you can.

And obviously Sam wouldn't ♥♥♥♥ his brother, but in an alternate universe (which are extremely common in fandom and shipping general), he probably would.

And that's the great thing about fiction, you can do literally anything. It's a big sandbox and the characters are the bucket and shovel.

Indeed.

It sure doesn't look slice of life, but it really was. Was interesting watching little girls beat each other up.
