## Moments

### *Ultimate Talent Development Plan*

**NOTE:** The following information comes from official *Danganronpa* media that is considered to be **non-canon**.
During one event, the Ultimate Imposter is helping with the preparations for a Christmas party being held in the dining hall, and tells Ibuki to pipe down. Ibuki says that she can't stop, because she's having way too much fun. Suddenly, Ibuki starts to worry that once the actual party begins, things will go downhill, and not live up to her excitement. However, the Ultimate Imposter assures her that will not happen, and that things will be even more exciting once the party begins. Ibuki believes them, and says that even if they were lying to her, she would forgive them if they let her shout in their ear three times. Ibuki then notices the Ultimate Imposter has a troubled look on their face, and they tell her that there's something they want to disclose at the party with the rest of their class, and that they are more determined than ever to share this information. Ibuki asks what this information is, but the Ultimate Imposter tells her it isn't important, and to go practice her shouting for the time being, which Ibuki does.

### *Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp*

**NOTE:** The following information comes from official *Danganronpa* media that is considered to be **non-canon**.
During the campfire, the Ultimate Imposter decides to challenge Ibuki to a duel, which surprises her that she's finally being taken up on her head-banging contest. The Ultimate Imposter calls Ibuki a formidable foe, but does not plan to fold so easily, and intends to have fun tonight. Ibuki also doesn't plan to hold back, and cues the music. Once their competition is over, Ibuki is impressed that the Ultimate Imposter was able to hold their ground against her, although they are left dizzy, and they ask Ibuki how she can live like this. Ibuki tells them that very few people can reach her level, and that she had fun, and doesn't plan on settling with a tie for next time. The Ultimate Imposter accepts her challenge, and ponders about how "frivolous games" such as this may become the foundation for their future.

## Fandom

### Origin and Appeal

When *Danganronpa 2* was first released, the Ultimate Imposter did not have very many ships, largely due to them being the first character to die, and thus not having the opportunity to form many significant bonds with other characters. In spite of this, some fans noticed that Ibuki would often praise the Ultimate Imposter for their leadership skills, and because Ibuki herself was also a character that shared minimal interaction with others, it didn't take long for fans to start shipping the two together. Many fans of the ship admire it for embodying the "opposites attract" trope, evident by how Ibuki's carefree and cheerful attitude contrasts the Ultimate Imposter's, who is more strict and stern in nature.

### Popularity

Twobuki is one of the most popular shipping choices for both characters, and is also arguably the most popular ship for the Ultimate Imposter, with its main rival being Mitworai. The ship was especially popular when *Danganronpa 2* was first released, likely due to the fact that the Ultimate Imposter did not have very many ships at the time. However, the ship's popularity has dwindled in more recent years, particularly in favor of Band Aid, which has become Ibuki's most popular shipping option. Nonetheless, Twobuki maintains a devoted following.
