So, obviously Nobara is not correct about there not being anyone like Inosuke. In fact, I have a pretty good idea of who this Subscriber had in mind with this Ask, but I wanted to do a little something different and I’ll explain why.

I kinda feel like Nobara would find Yuji’s weird boar friend annoying, or not really like him. For whatever reason that’s just the feeling I get when I picture Yuji trying to hang out with both of them at the same time. I also don’t necessarily see her organically forming a friendship with the character this Ask was looking for, although I’m sure they’ll fuck eventually and maybe something could develop under the right conditions in the future. So, I went a different direction here. Nobara and Ashido met during the Febuary ’23 One-Shot, although they didn’t appear on-screen together. These two have pretty different personalities, but I kinda see them hitting it off in a peanut butter and jelly kind of way, and I thought it’d be cute to see a fresh crossover with two characters I’m pretty fond of here. I hope the asker for this one won’t be too disappointed with the outcome here, but I do think this answer actually kinda sets up some alternate paths towards the ship they were looking for.
