I think it's funny how Shin and Shuu are frequently the most overlooked characters insofar as individuals and a ship in both JP and (broadly western but primarily) NA fandom because these two:
Have the single best developed relationship of anyone in the entire show.
When we start off, and for much of the first half of the show, they're frequently at odds with Shin siding more with Seiji and Shuu partnering up with Touma - with whom he was originally longtime friends with in earlier drafts, up to and including arriving in Shinjuku together.
However, as the show continues, there are hints of a budding friendship, particularly the disastrous battle against Arago where Shin is the first to fall, Shuu being the one to immediately react and strike in vengeance after Shin and Touma get nommed.
And then of course, as we move into the second half of the show, we get this moment:
Cementing that yes indeed, these two are Best Pals For Life, with a bit of mutual chirping involved.
While unfortunately they both spend much of the next dozen-odd episodes sidelined and with little chance to interact outside of being strung up in a gargoyle together, after the team fully reunites, we're treated to them back to their old tricks, with teasing:
Followed immediately by a Bro Moment.
Cut to post series with the first OVA, Gaiden, at Ryo's birthday party:
(Absolutely nothing suggestive going on here)
And of course, OVA 2, Kikoutei Densetsu gives us the beautiful bonding moment that is Shin teaching Shuu how to surf.
Of course this being KD, things go downhill quickly, though things are patched up soon enough...
Only to fall apart by Message, where the distance that's grown between the Troopers is best exemplified by this shot:
The best of friends, arriving together, after not having seen each other for months, in complete, solemn silence. And unfortunately this is the last they really get together before returning for the finale.
However, I hope that this tangent has been educational, and if you haven't watched YST yet:
Do it for them.

RW/YST Fan Character Stream!
Hey everyone, this Friday (3/22) I will be doing an art stream at 7PM Eastern US Time to make portraits of the fan characters submitted to the Fan Character Of The Month form! The stream will be on Picarto and run for a few hours; depending on how many I get done I might stream more of them on Saturday.
After that, on Tuesday 3/26 at 6:30 PM I will stream the drawing for the first Fan Character Of The Month (and probably more art as well). The character will be officially announced on April 1, but you can get a sneak peek then!
Stream Link is here!
Submit your RW/YST Fan Characters here!
See the list and profiles for submitted Fan Characters here!
(And, if you own one of the characters in question, feel free to DM me if anything needs to be adjusted, clarified, or otherwise changed!)
See you at the stream!

Another illustration for @crazymiraclecat's Jarno, featured at @roninversary-brawl! I wanted to draw him interacting with a canon character... and it occured to me. If Jarno witnessed the clash in Africa, then he knows that wrecking Kikoutei can destroy the other yoroi. His ultimate goal may be to prevent their creation, but... why not destroy them through history when the chance presents itself?
And so Arago-era Ryo suddenly has an out-of-context problem to deal with....

Alright so here's the thing. I don't own a lot in the way of super valuable or rare merchandise, but what I do have is a very particular doujinshi crossover of a very particular pair of shows.
Problem 1: I have *never* seen this doujin before or since, I could not even tell you who created it.
Problem 2: *Because* of its rarity, I'm constantly torn between preserving it as-is, or dissecting it and scanning it for the greater YST and PGSM communities to enjoy a piece of shared history.
Help me out folks.
