Yusuke x Futaba (Yutaba)

Yusuke x Futaba, or commonly known as Yutaba, is a popular (non-MC) Persona 5 ship.

The origin of the ship can be traced back to Yusuke when he ruined Futaba's figurines and ended up fighting together. There are many moments throughout Persona 5/Royal where their chemistry can clearly be seen.

Gameplay
In the game, there are several reasons as to why it is initiated that Yusuke and Futaba would/will end up being romantically involved with each other


 * Yusuke is the only one who isn't freaked/weirded out by Futaba's tastes ( for example, her giant mask)
 * Yusuke is the first person in the group to have a real conversation with Futaba and to get her to open up more
 * Yusuke is the only person in the group that Futaba ever gives a pet name to (Inari)
 * Futaba playfully tries to steal Yusuke's lobsters when the group goes to the beach before their summer vacation ends.
 * Yusuke comments he likes that Futaba has a big appetite and how he much rather prefers that over women who barely eat, to which she playfully replied that "he better not be hitting on her" and calls out to Sojiro smiling
 * Yusuke constantly expresses he wonders what it'd be like to paint a portrait of Futaba. He also says he suspects Futaba in a swimsuit would make a great painting and suggests asking Makoto about it.
 * At Dreamland while watching the fireworks, Yusuke will gaze at the night sky and say "It's beautiful...", Futaba replies to him saying "It's not as beautiful as you... That's the kinda stuff couples say, right?" while smiling at him.
 * Yusuke seems to be a bit jealous when Futaba comments to Akechi on his personality and good looks after she secretly planted her wiretapping app on his phone, by saying "She's praising you... I believe"
 * In Persona 5: Dancing Star Night, Ryuji asks Yusuke if he thinks girls dancing is pretty hot, to which Yusuke replies "Don't tell me... Have you been leering at Futaba during her routines?" showing that he most likely would've gotten angry if Ryuji had been spying on her.
 * It is shown that Yusuke and Futaba tend to sit together/sit next to each other most of the time.
