List of shipping hints in Shining Bonds

This page lists all shipping hints in the *Shining Bonds* franchise.

## Shining Bonds: Starlix Burst

* Elis has a crush of Liam, Delia has a crush on Giovanni (but knows better) and Sonia has a crush on Leon.
* Catherine blushes when she looking at an picture of Jim.

## Shining Bonds a la Mode

* Nanette blushes so badly upon reuniting with Mikey that everyone starts laughing at her, much to Marina's embarrassment.
* Due to Glorysia's shock, Nijimia has close friendship with Miku as Keiko. It was revealed on *Connected Through the Gaming Stars! Through the Rainbow*, where she knows Nijimia (as Keiko) can help her through her journey.
* Mallow Floris and Elisa get into a fight concerning Cilan, much to the annoyance of the Gym Leader himself.
* A fake one happens in "Dragonet and Tikki's Odd Friendship" when Aurea singsongs "Tikki and Plagg sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G!" and Tikki has to explain that Kwamis are technically genderless and don't fall in love.
* A (one-sided) celebrity example occurs with both Rarity and Sunflower Smile, who are both madly in love with the singer Adam Levine and his band Maroon 5. Both of them can often be heard listening to Maroon 5 music, and Rarity repreatedly kisses a concert poster with Adam Levine while Sunflower can be heard singing "Payphone" off-key in the shower. The others absolutely *hate* it, however, making fun of them and calling it "Moron 5."
* Another false example: Ryutsuki and Ash are childhood friends and the former babysat the latter when he was younger due to her being 7 years older than him (he's 10 and she's 17), but do not have any romantic feelings for each other and are platonic friends. This naturally doesn't stop the other heroes from *thinking* otherwise, often pretending they're dating much to their annoyance.

## Shining Bonds a la Mode: The Next Generation

* Gracin blushes at Kristina when they get saved by Blissany.

## Shining Bonds a la Mode: 340 Years Later

* Whitely stammers in front of Blake when she tries to realize she was corrupted by accident at the end of "Adventures with Ladybug." Amber, however, doesn't get it and thinks she has a speech impediment or something.
* Whitely nuzzles Blake's cheek a few times.
* Blake says that he knows someone who likes him, referring to Whitely.
* In the season 2 episode *A Loving Day To Remember*, Whitely finally confesses her feelings to Blake.
	+ In the original, she says "You really made my heart skip a beat. I wanted to tell you how much I felt in the past, but I didn't have the courage back then. [...] Pourtaa Hiroshi, I love you..." while in the dub she says "I have something to tell you. I just haven't been brave enough yet.. My feelings for you... are strong. I love you."

* Whenever a shipping hint is dropped, Amber will never get it.

## Notes

* Saying "I love you" is censored outside of confessions and platonic love in the Nick dub.
	+ For example, in "The Circle of Life!" Goldie telling her new mate she loves him is changed to her saying she really likes him (both knowing they'll die shortly), while Sugar saying "I love you, Mommy" after her mother and the human heroes comfort her is kept.
