Shuake and Jundori are basically the same ship
List of similarities between Joker/Akechi and Junpei/Chidori:
Ship is between a chill guy and an assassin
Characters share the same persona affinity (Arsene and Loki both use curse, Hermes and Medea both use fire)
Assassin's outfit colors are mainly white and red (specifically akechi's robin hood outfit)
Assassin's persona may hurt them (Loki has call of chaos and Medea attacks Chidori)
Assassin deceives the chill guy into thinking they're normal to get info on the group he's part of
Assassin betrays and kidnaps the chill guy + separates him from his friend group because he's the leader (Junpei was lying about being the leader but Chidori believed it)
Friend group is only cordial with the assassin at best but doesn't wish harm on them
Chill guy is the only one who truly connects with the assassin
Assassin insists they dont care about the chill guy but deep down they do
While responsible for their own actions, the assassin is still being manipulated by someone close to them
Revealed that the assassin's abilities were being exploited by the families of both games' wealthy Empress Arcana (Okumura used Akechi via Shido to assassinate enemies, Kirijo group used Chidori as a child experiment)
In late November, the assassin has a 1-vs-many fight against the chill guy and his friends
After you beat the assassin, the ones manipulating them appear and reveal they're willing to discard the assassin for being weak
The manipulators threaten to shoot the chill guy instead
Assassin sacrifices themself for the chill guy during the shooting
Chill guy's greatest wish was to be with the assassin and losing them challenges their resolve to fight (Joker may or may not fold on 2/2 but Junpei gets his resolve back as part of the plot)
If Royal and Reload (because thats what I played):
14. Chill guy and assassin have a special attack (showtime and theurgy)
15. Assassin died permanently in the original version of the games, but they can be saved in future remakes (if you spent enough time with them and made the right choices in-game)
I think that's it? But if anyone points out more I will edit this and add them
