Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Pistolshipping (Ryoken Konami/Kengo Dojun)

Propaganda:  (Same person who submitted akira/kengo and Takeru/kengo) My reasons are sort of the same for Takeru’s. Ngl, bounty hunter x former cyber terrorist??? Sign me the hell up! I would definitely write a fanfic about that (currently stuck in arc-v rn) Possibly an au where Kengo and Ryoken teamed up and wreaked havoc on Link Vrains. They both carry guilt of losing someone close to them (not to mention they believe it’s their own fault for why it happened) Kengo lost his mother due to a malfunction in a self driving car. Ryoken reported his father’s actions during the lost incident. I feel they’d bond over that guilt.

Pairing 2: Naoki Shima/Kengo Dojun 

Propaganda: Would be interesting to ship this side characters.

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will have their data taken apart.

Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Bulletstormshipping (Kogami Ryoken/Windy)

Propaganda: LISTEN. LISTEN. THEIR DUEL WAS THE FIRST RYOKEN DUEL I ENJOYED IN VRAINS. I love that he is the first one who brings out Ryoken's bitchy side. They would have deserved a rematch. For me. And me specifically. Also I have a wholeass meta about why I think Ryoken and Windy should have teamed up. Which is also my WinRyo manifesto. https://chancellorxofxtrash.tumblr.com/post/190952865770/what-could-have-been-an-essay-about-revolvers|

Pairing 2: Canineshipping (Akira Zaizen /Kengo Doujun)

Propaganda: I'm not sure if this is a common ship or not, but I really like the thought of the two together, especially after Kengo explains his situation to Kengo. I believe Akira can def share similar feeling over wanting to bond with his sister and being unable to, and the two are both very reliable / competent hackers, and I just think Akira's personality works better with Kengo than it does with Ghostgirl (though I like that ship too lol). Either way, I want them to be traumatized grown ass men together drinking coffee and working for different types of cybersecurity~ | I think it’s genuinely just a cute pairing. Two business minded guys just sitting together and getting a cup of coffee (possibly also discussing the days they had at work) is a cute image for me >D<

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will have their data taken apart.

Twilightshipping

Homura Takeru/Kengo Dojun

Voting ended onOct 17, 2025

Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Twilightshipping (Ai/Lightning)

Propaganda:  All of season 2 is basically their prolonged divorce arc. Bohman implies Lightning talks about Ai constantly and was watching him even before the Hanoi attacked. Ai takes Lightning's betrayal so deliciously personally. They're literally narrative foils, man, down to being darkness and light. How is this so obscure | Is this a rare ship? Anyway, I really love their dynamic. They both are fearful of having no hope with humanity, but act diffrently towards it.... Ai tries his best to appease humanity and be liked by it at first, and then turns into a more lightning sort of "they're going to kill me anyway" view, a lot of the characters pointing out he's becoming more and more like lightning.... Either way, I like the annoying person x oresama dynamic they have

Pairing 2: Homura Takeru/Kengo Dojun

Propaganda:  Mmh, I just like Kengo ships (same person who submitted Kengo/Akira), don’t think he gets much attention. But being serious, a fanfic got me reallyyy hooked on this. For actual reasoning: I think a country boy and a dude who spends his whole life tracking down tech would be an amazing duo. Also I’ve seen countless headcanons about Takeru being bad with tech and have chosen to adopt it.

Now, let’s keep things civil. This is a silly poll where we can share why we love our overlooked ships. There’s no need to be nasty to prove your point. Bashers will have their data taken apart.
