Yuuri and Wolfram
Yuuri and Wolfram have a lot of moments together. Given that they're supposed to be the Official Couple (at least in universe) they end up getting many Ship Tease moments as a result.
- For instance Wolfram is a Crazy Jealous Guy toward his fiancé Yuuri, and often mistakes him for cheating. They share a bed and are raising a little girl together.
- He even got jealous of Bandou-kun the dolphin!
- Not to mention how Wolfram is very much a Tsundere towards Yuuri.
- The Accidental Marriage at the beginning of the series is the start of their relationship. At first the two can't get along with each other at all but as the series progresses, the two finally speak on even terms.
- Speaking of Accidental Marriage, Wolfram ends up on the receiving end of the marriage as he accidentally proposed to his cousin Elizabeth the same way Yuuri did (but it was more accidental in the sense he was trying to swat a fly away from her face). Yuuri ends up making the whole situation worse and turns everything into a love triangle by the customs of Maou society. Wolfram expects Yuuri to win for his sake and Yuuri isn't pleased with that, so Wolfram has to step in as a result of his pride interfering. Naturally, Yuuri thinks Elizabeth is going too far and saves Wolf from her before saying they have to make up. And then when Yuuri thinks that he and Wolfram aren't engaged anymore, at first he seems happy but when Elizabeth says she broke off the engagement and expect him to take care of Wolfram, at first he seems fine with it until he lets the information sink in and having him scream that he didn't ask for this.
- Then there's the whole reason why the Accidental Marriage happened. Yuri smacked Wolfram across the face, despite the latter insulting his mother, because he was "too pretty" to have been punched in the face.
- In episode 17, Gunter tricks Wolfram into jumping into the Sand Bear's hole by saying that it's to prove his love for Yuuri, which he falls for.
- Despite not being used to Yuuri yet, Wolfram allows him to rest on his lap multiple times and Yuuri doesn't mind at first...before reacting in the usual manner.
- The episode with the bearbees focused on the pairing a lot. Everyone thinks when the two disappear due to being stuck in a mansion with no way out, they think they eloped and Gunter even suggests that they are making a pact of suicide. The entire episode was of the two trying to settle their difference and they succeeded to a certain extent.
- The bearbees mistook the pair as their parents, because Wolfram painted with bearbee dung paint earlier in the day and the scent clung to Yuuri and Wolfram. When the babies hatched, they assumed, by scent, that the pair were their parents.
- Wolfram gives Yuuri a Declaration of Protection and asks him "Can't you understand my love?"
- When Wolfram is affected by a love spell, he declares his love to Yuuri. Naturally, Yuuri is not amused but when it wears off, Yuuri teases Wolfram on how forward he was (AKA he was the same as he always been).
- When Wolfram got kidnapped by the Originators, instead of panicking like he would normally do at the beginning of the series, Yuuri gets on his own horse and chases after them. Of course, he gets kidnapped too but it's the thought that counted in that moment because all Yuuri thought was saving Wolfram.
- You know if Wolfram actually played
◊ the Distressed Dude, Yuuri might actually be more courageous◊ than usual given that Yuuri will help those in need. This is more evident in one episode where Wolfram goes to save a child from being burned alive and almost gets burned in the process. This instantly causes Yuuri to go Maou on the entire forest to assure that Wolfram was safe.
- You know if Wolfram actually played
- Yuuri gets to carry Wolfram in a Bridal Carry one time during that one episode in the snowstorm. To add to this, Yuuri was worrying for Wolfram the entire time, so he finally mans up in order to actually pull this off.
- Yuuri is devastated when he thinks that Wolfram is dead after his heart is ripped out. His personality alters for that whole episode as Yuuri suddenly decides that he's going to do all in his power to wake Wolfram up again. Coming from the guy who would run away often or wouldn't want to do anything for Wolf, this is shown as a huge hint that he has realized his feelings for Wolf to some.
- The final scene in season 2. Fans noticed that when Wolfram started crying when he, Murata and Shouri had to go back to their world before the gate closed Yuuri didn't look back. Wolfram/Yuuri fans have taken this as a hint that if Yuuri looked back, he would have abandoned his world just to stay with Wolfram. Yuuri is then depressed near the end thinking that he'll never be able to go back. When Murata pushes him back into the water sending him back to the other world, he's happy to see everyone again but is speechless to see Wolfram crying again and calling him an idiot.
- Yuuri at one points hugs Wolfram in season 3 when he's relieved to find out he's okay. Wolfram's response is to blush and freeze up while acting all embarrassed. Mind you this is the first hug that Yuuri instigated as it's always Wolfram that is the affectionate one.
- Also in season 3, when Wolfram tries to break the engagement the two have because he was nominated to be the next Maoh after Yuuri seemingly left Shin Makoku for good at the end of season two, and he wanted to protect Yuuri from any complications, Yuuri doesn't take it that well and he declares to Wolfram that he's not allowed to break the engagement. This is the closest thing Yuuri gets to confessing to Wolf because the entire series, he's been complaining about being engaged and wanting to get out of it, so to see him fight for their engagement is very heartwarming.
- Not to mention there is a bunch of artwork of the two together whether it's Yuuri giving Wolfram red roses for Valentines Day◊ (mind you red roses usually means your love for that person is real), and either lock arms together◊ or a near embrace◊. Even more pictures. In this picture◊, notice where Yuri's hand is trying to reach but it looks like Wolfram pulled away. This picture◊, Yuuri is blushing when Wolfram is fixing his uniform for him.And this picture◊ is another one of those moments.
- There are more pictures from the PC version of the game, Oresama Quest. Here◊, here◊, here◊ and here.◊ In one instance, Wolfram trying to teach Yuuri how to dance (and failing)◊.
- According to the PS2 game, Hajimari no Tabi, Yuuri and Wolfram end up separated from the others. Yuuri thinks that Wolfram isn't breathing and attempts to give him CPR, but wakes up in time◊ and isn't amused in the situation they're in at all. Yuuri doesn't see the problem at all.
- Later on, Yuuri falls asleep and Wolfram lets him lean on his shoulder◊ and smiles.
- In the anime, Wolfram in typical Tsundere fashion was once rather insistent on washing Yuuri's back and also expressed jealousy that Yuuri had a bath with another man. "How could you soak with another man behind my back?! HOW?!"
- Later on, Yuuri falls asleep and Wolfram lets him lean on his shoulder
- In episode 86 Wolfram, while being carried away by Adalbert, tries to get him to put him down because he wants to go back to save Yuuri.
Yuuri and Conrad
Yuuri also gets certain kinds of emotional moments around Conrad that reinforce his insisted-upon heterosexuality.
- In the manga, light novels, and musical, there is also a dance during the boat scene. Yuuri, who has virtually no dance experience, dances with Conrad to learn the moves before he is invited to dance with Beatrice. The manga version is especially filled with lots of blushing, and the two end up slow dancing. Although the anime version was altered, Yuuri still calls for Conrad to rescue him when he is bombarded with beautiful women asking him to dance.
- During the first episode, when Conrad comes to rescue Yuuri from Adalbert, his first reaction is "Could that be a knightly prince, here to save me?"
Yuuri and Murata
Yuuri and Murata, as friends who eventually start adventuring into the other world together, have had some moments bordering Ship Tease as well.
- At one point in the novel, Yuuri makes an offhand comment that actually causes Murata to blush◊, leaving Yuuri confused at his friend acting.
- Then there was the time they went to see the dolphin show. Murata treated it like a date. Yuuri is not amused.
- And of course, this could all go to their first meeting together as according to Murata, he had no friends and was constantly picked on. Yuuri standing up to him against the bullies was one of the best things that has happened in Murata's life hence his devotion toward his best friend.
- Before Wolfram earned the approval of Yuuri's mother, Jennifer assumed that Murata was going to be the one for Yuuri given how they're always together. The fact that Murata calls Jennifer "mama" (mainly because she wants everyone too) might imply that he wants to be part of the family. Shouri doesn't seem that pleased with Murata being around his little brother at all and given Murata's personality...
- There was one instance where Murata is actually depressed given that he just ended up revealing his true nature to his best friend and thinks that Yuuri was going to leave him. At first, it seems like Yuuri was going to kiss him given that sudden gesture of grabbing his face...before he pulls on it telling him to cheer up. Murata actually seemed to be expecting something before going back to his normal self.
- Murata was willing to sacrifice everyone for the sake of having Yuuri escaping. Naturally, when Murata ends up in the hostage situation, Yuuri refuses to leave him and everyone else.
