Keep in mind that I didn’t even ship Soudam until this thought came to me 1 month after finishing SDR2.

tl;dr: What if Sonia took Gundam’s place and Gundam comforted Souda and they fell in love? Also, I think Sonia’s too independent to be shipped romantically.

This thought occurred to me one day, as I was rewatching Chapter 4’s trial. Why does it seem like all of the survivors except for Sonia have done something that has put a great impact on the others/circumstances?

Hinata, obviously did very important things through the game, Akane, unknowingly, nor was it on purpose, was kind of there for Fuyuhiko. As long as he had someone who pretty much went through a similar situation as him, he was okay. Souda made Mecha Nidai for Akane. This was pretty much him giving her mental support for her, seeing as she just lost Nidai. Now…about Sonia. I was aware that she tested out the bombs in Chapter 5, but, they were going to find out about that anyway. Sonia didn’t really do anything important. She was the main one that was always saying that she wanted “to help” and “be there for everyone”, yet, to me, she did nothing. STOP. Don’t get me wrong, Sonia is a precious child that I love dearly! If there was one thing I was mad at her for it was the part where she started insulting Souda really badly, but I’m not about to get into that.

ANYWAY, here’s what I’m getting at:

What if Sonia had taken Gundam’s place?

Yes, I just typed that. I understand fully that they were trying to show that Gundam wasn’t completely cold-hearted, but everyone who plays/watched his free-time events would know that already! They could’ve thrown some other scene in there two just to show he wasn’t heartless! But what if she had? What if Sonia decided that she would step up for a change and do something about the situation they were in? What if Sonia had used Gundham’s hamsters, trying to pin it on him, to make everyone think he was a good guy (since everyone had the wrong impression of him)?

My reason for shipping Soudam comes from a headcanoned scenario of Gundam being a survivor. What if, after Sonia died, Souda was out of it for a while. Can’t you just imagine Gundam going to comfort him a for a while? He says it’s because ‘The one mortal who DARED to challenge THE Gundam Tanaka can’t simply back down! I will build you up and you shall come back to fight me, mortal!’, but it’s really because Souda reminds him of a puppy with the way he followed Sonia around, and he can’t stand seeing “animals” sad, so he tries to make him feel better. Can’t you imagine, for just a moment, the two of them turning out to be the bestest of friends after that? And everyone is like “What? I thought they hated each other”.

Can you imagine for one minute that Souda realizes one night after watching a movie with Gundam, and wondering why he got super depressed every time Sonia told him to back off, that he’s gay? Can you imagine Gundam saying he’s bisexual, because he really doesn’t care about the gender of his soon-to-be-found beloved?

Can you imagine that Gundam and Souda go to the park and realize that they’ve fallen in love with each other?

Just imagine. I’m not saying you should ship it. I don’t care if you finish this paragraph and just don’t care. Just consider this for a minute.

For the second half of this, I will explain, briefly, why I only ship Sonia platonically:

In Sonia’s FTM (Free Time Moments), she mentioned several times that she would basically drop everything and serve her country. She’s strong, independent, and beautiful. When she knows something she sticks with it. I can’t picture this chick in a romantic relationship! I can however, stand reading it in a fanficiton, so don’t fret fan fiction writers. Oh, and for the record, Son-dam is cute, but I just can’t see Sonia dating anyone—let alone Gundam. That’s right. Son-dam. I’m putting a break so they don’t see this. Aren’t I a nice person? Anyway, The reason why I can’t ship Son-dam, or see Sonia in a romantic relationship, is because of the fact that she’s really independent. I know it’s okay for independent people to be dating, but I feel like she’s REALLY independent.

Okay, so basically, Gundam is pretty much an overlord trying to rule the world and all that stuff. Sonia is a princess with her own mindset and is very intelligent. I can’t picture those two in a relationship for the following reason: They seem to independent to date each other. Okay, I know. I ship Soudam, but I can’t ship Sonia with someone? It’s really a matter of the fact that I think they’re way to independent for each other! I know you’re not supposed to fully or completely depend on someone in a relationship, but I do know that it’s okay to depend on them a little. But as for Son-dam? I can only see it starting off good at first, but then I can see the chemistry dying down?? Like, I could only see them drifting apart because they don’t depend on each other? Like, I see their romance disappearing when they realize they can’t depend on each other, and they just can’t make it work??? Meanwhile on the other hand, Souda is a needy child that depends on people, and he and Gundam would just = good stuff yeah

Grr, I don’t want to upset anyone…uh, that’s it! THIS IS THE CRAP I WROTE. You can respond if you want to. This is really awful, ugh…
