Darkthink and Acidrain Headcanons
Shade/Neuro
Neuro and Shade were going to get married, then the Tournament invitation came
Shade is the flirty one, but he cannot take it at all. man turns into a blushing, flustered mess if Neuro flirts back
They're both really smart & aggressive planners, this is how Shade inexplicably got his hands on Neuro's finances, did the maths, and figured out they could take home like an extra 8k/year each if they got a civil union. and that's how they got married at first, and then they wanted to get it done properly like 1.5 years after dating
They complement each other well in combat. Neuro is better off at dealing with lots of people he can influence or confuse, and is best at dealing with ambushes/surprise attacks. Shade mostly uses his clones to distract his opponents, then ambushes them, and doesn't do too well against large crowds. They both fill in each other's short comings.
Specifically for Neuro, he can only do hallucinations if he gets physical contact
Nya/Tox
Love at first sight, except they mutually believe that the other doesn't want them. Nya thinks Tox is too cool, and Tox thinks Nya is too good for her and Nya's out of her league
Tox has a thing about armour, Samurai X has a new fan and Tox has a lady boner
They're both smart in their own ways: Tox with chemicals, she'd be a toxicologist or something. Nya with technology and engineering. Neither really understand what the other does, but will listen to a 50-slide long powerpoint about each other's special interest
Skipping ahead to season 5: When they find out that Nya is the Mistress of Water, Tox would encourage her to remain as Samurai X because up to that point, she had been an object of desire (rescue from skeletons, a love interest for Cole and Jay) until she got her own autonomy through Samurai X, and gained her own personhood until Wu was like "You're the Master of Water, and therefore something the main cast can want/need again" (I'm not going to re-write season 5 because I just don't have a lot to say, but it's still like. Let Nya be her own person plz)
Tox joined the resistance in season 9 because Nya asked her too
Their Elements complement each other like really well. As the ship name suggests, Tox gets insane range with her Power if Nya helps. And Nya's Power gets way more deadly if Tox helps her
Nya, when the Mistress of Water, would make Tox dying her hair really easy
