A common theme is rivalry. Since they are often pitted against each other in the original context, fanfics play on this dynamic, showing how their competition can also be a form of connection.
I've heard of 'The Yumeko - Mary Encounter'. It begins with a chance encounter between them and then explores how their personalities clash and yet also complement each other, leading to a unique and engaging story.
In fanfic, Yumeko is often depicted as bold and fearless. She's not afraid to take risks, especially when it comes to gambling. Mary, on the other hand, is usually portrayed as more calculating and strategic. She thinks things through carefully.
Truth Listener was a spiritual divine beast that lay under Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's scripture table. It had a very powerful hearing ability. It could recognize everything in the world by listening, and it could even hear all the information about all the living beings in the three worlds. Truth Listener's strength was described as being comparable to the Jade Emperor's clairaudient. It was even believed that his Dharmic powers were higher than the Jade Emperor's. In Journey to the West, Diting was summoned by the Jade Emperor to help distinguish between the real and fake Monkey Kings. In Fantasy Westward Journey, Truth Listener was also a rare and special Summoned Beast. It had the talent skill of Observing All Creations and could release special skills and small and large skills in one round. Truth Listener's strength was considered very powerful. Some players had even synthesized Truth Listener with 12 skills. It carried four special skills and instantly killed everyone in the arena. In short, Truth Listener was considered a very powerful Divine Beast with its outstanding hearing ability and strength.
According to the story, a good listener should show empathy. That means trying to understand the feelings of the speaker. If someone is sad while talking, you can give a sympathetic look or a gentle touch on the arm to show you care. Also, don't interrupt. Let the person finish their thoughts before you start to talk. This gives them the respect they deserve and also helps you to fully understand what they are trying to say.
The story might suggest that respect is a big part of being a good listener. Respect in terms of not cutting in and allowing the speaker to have their say completely. Also, having an open mind is important. Don't judge what the person is saying right away, but listen with an open heart and mind.
In Kakegurui fanfiction, Ryota and Yumeko's relationship is a fascinating subject. Yumeko's insatiable appetite for gambling and her unique charm make her a central figure. Ryota, on the other hand, is often in a position of trying to understand her. Their interactions are filled with tension and drama. The fanfiction can play with their differences in personality. For example, Yumeko's impulsiveness against Ryota's more reserved nature can lead to some really engaging storylines. It could be that Ryota is gradually influenced by Yumeko's way of life, or he tries to change her for the better. There are so many possibilities in exploring their relationship through fanfiction.
Common themes in their fanfiction include the idea of redemption. Maybe Ryota is trying to redeem Yumeko from her extreme gambling ways, or vice versa. Another theme is the battle between logic and instinct. Ryota represents logic most of the time, while Yumeko is all about following her instincts in gambling. And there is also the theme of loyalty. How far will Ryota go to be loyal to Yumeko, and how will she respond to his loyalty? These are all things that are often explored in fanfiction about them.
In the manga, Yumeko and Ryota don't end up together. The story focuses more on the gambling scenarios and character developments rather than a romantic ending for them.
It's about a radio host who gets involved with a story of a supposed abused child through letters. He becomes very invested in the boy's story, but things start to get murky as he tries to verify the truth.
