#yugioh gx rare pair poll

[yugioh-rare-pair-poll]

Welcome to the Yugioh GX Rare Pair poll

As voted by you, we'll go and shed a spotlight on all the rare pairs of Duel Academy. Like last time, this is a single elimination style bracket, without limits on submissions. Pairings have no limits, so don't be afraid to submit those pairs that no one else gets, but damn it, they make you happy. And also like last time, there is a list below with all the pairings that are banned, due to them being popular in the GX fandom. This is the Rare Pair poll afterall.

Also, like last time, bashing others, whether it's the pairing, the people in it, or even the person who likes that pairing, is prohibited. This is just a silly poll, there’s no need to attack anyone just to prove your point. If you do, you will be blocked.

The submission period will be from now til February 12th, so we can get things started right on Valentine's day.

Rules:

This will be a single elimination style bracket, with the size determining how big the tournament is.

No Multi-pairings. I enjoy them just as much as the next person, but they deserve their own separate poll.

No pairings from the other YGO series. But you can include characters who are from the manga.

Ban list (AKA these are the popular pairings here and we're trying to highlight those that are overlooked):Johan Andersen | Jesse Anderson/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki, Edo Phoenix | Aster Phoenix/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki, Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton/Misawa Daichi | Bastion Misawa, Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton/Tenjouin Fubuki | Atticus Rhodes, Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki, Marufuji Ryou | Zane Truesdale/Edo Phoenix | Aster Phoenix, Marufuji Ryou | Zane Truesdale/Tenjouin Fubuki | Atticus Rhodes, Marufuji Shou | Syrus Truesdale/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki, Tenjouin Asuka | Alexis Rhodes/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki, Yubel/Yuuki Juudai | Jaden Yuki

Round 1: Poll 1

Propaganda under the cut

Pairing 1: Emasculateshipping(Professor Cronos de Medici | Dr. Vellian Crowler/Napoleon | Jean-Louis Bonaparte)

Propaganda: As the Funny European Team Rocket Men of GX, the two are almost too obvious-- not just in how much time they spend together or how much of that time seems a bit too intimate for men who are supposedly just work buddies. The ship, with its participants being based on historical figures (obviously, Napoleon Bonaparte and the Medici family respectively), the ship therefore has a real-world historical precedent of sorts (Napoleon was Italian; two Medici women married into French royalty); the two have similar and compatible priorities (Cronos being first and foremost concerned with his babies-- ahem, *students*, while Napoleon is mostly worried about his own son; the step-father potential in Cronos is Immaculate) and, of course, the ship is very funny-- not in the least because you have two men, one single in his mid-thirties while the other is divorced in his fifties, thereby trying to navigate their relationship like a pair of stupid teenagers. But of course, there is also serious potential in the ship as well. After all, Napoleon's divorce means that he's going to be extremely anxious about screwing up a good thing again, while for Cronos it's a potential red flag that their relationship will end in disaster. The plot of season 3 also gives them both immense pain to work through, after all that they've been helpless as their respective kids suffered. It's easy to overlook them both, especially Napoleon (I promise that's not a joke at the expense of his height, he's just kinda mainly remembered for how he's introduced in season 2 as French Cis Cronos and has little unique character of his own until Martin's introduction), but there's absolutely something to engage with both in the characters themselves and in the interactions between them. Also they literally went on a picnic date while watching Judai duel once they're gay your honor

Pairing 2: Thirdshipping(Saotome Rei | Blair Flannigan/Martin Kanou|Marcel Bonaparte)

Propaganda:  Sometimes love is two weird outcast kids hurting each other and finding peace anyways

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 be consumed by Darkness.

Pairing 2: Tomorrowshipping(Tenjouin Asuka | Alexis Rhodes/Jim Crocodile Cook)

Propaganda: They complete each other! Jim’s focus on the past vs Asuka’s focus on the future, Jim’s nature theming vs Asuka’s technology theming, the way their attitudes complement one another. Not to mention “Tomorrow Girl,” the cutest nickname in the world.

Also they literally went on a picnic date while watching Judai duel once they're gay your honor

Pairing 2: Lacunashipping (Yubel/Manjoume Jun | Chazz Princeton)

Propaganda: It's my absolute favourite !!! Two emotionally messes up goths together !!! Not only is it funny for Judai to be the 3rd wheel between his rival and his soulmate, but I also think Jun and Yubel can vibe together in their own weird way. Yubel is a living weapon who is very much not used to anyone other than Judai caring for or respecting them, so I think Jun's casual (and rude) attitude towards duel spirits would really Do Something to them emotionally. They should kiss sloppy style. They should

Pairing 2: Tomorrowshipping(Tenjouin Asuka | Alexis Rhodes/Jim Crocodile Cook)
