Fans started ditching Hinata/Oboro when the localization came out, thanks to a certain line note "When I talk about Lord Takumi, it's like a fantasy or an ideal.While Rhajat and the ship are still quite popular for some, others have turned against the character and the pairing (paired with huge levels of Never Live It Down), and others simply resorted to shipping Rhajat with Selkie, Mitama or Asugi instead. When the localization played up Rhajat's negative qualities in her S-support with the Avatar, many people were left puzzled at best or angry at worst. Played a bit straighter with a Female Avatar/Rhajat, which was one of the more popular Avatar ships for a while thanks in great part to her being the female Bisexual Option.And not in a Not Blood Siblings way either. The Avatar's interactions with Lilith in the first few chapters sparked a small amount of shipping, but that completely evaporated when the Hidden Truths DLC revealed she's essentially their sister. Not only that, but many fans found it hypocritical for the game to seemingly go out of its way to say that Corrin's supposed blood relatives were in fact not related to allow S Supports with them, yet the story seemed to heavily favour shipping Azura with Corrin. Ironically enough, however, it's revealed that she is actually Corrin's cousin in Revelations - Corrin and Azura's mothers were sisters - which only served to turn off even more people from the ship. This isn't true, but it still made some uncomfortable. Similarly, some fans stopped shipping Azura with the Nohr and Hoshido siblings when they found out she was raised as siblings with the Hoshidans and pre-release material hinted that the Nohr siblings were her actual genetic half-siblings.That said, there are still those who ship them, especially since the Avatar turns out not to be related to either group at all, making this more of a murky example than a straight one. Some fans have stopped shipping the Avatar with the Nohrian and Hoshidan royals, due to them growing up thinking of the former group as their actual siblings and the latter group being their actual siblings.
