Early Shippings

What's this about jumping the gun on shippings anyway? The thing is, I heard that there's already a shipping for Yuma and Kotori, characters from Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL. Now I know that a character description says that Kotori seems to care about Yuma despite teasing him for blunders, but aren't these shippers jumping the gun? Then again, that's the way it works in a Yu-Gi-Oh! series, isn't it? A girl character is introduced and shippings between her and the main character begin. First there was Téa Gardner, Yugi's childhood friend who actually took a fancy to Atem. Then there was Alexis Rhodes, who didn't even remotely gain feelings for Jaden until the unaired Season 4 and those two didn't become an item either. And there was also Akiza Izinski to consider, which despite heavy turmoils due to her psychic powers, gained feelings for Yusei. And in the final episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! 5D's, it seemed to be vice-versa as well. At least they still have a chance of becoming an item as opposed to Jaden and Alexis. And now, we've got the possibility of Yuma and Kotori. It's a little early in the ballgame, but I guess that's how it works anyway. Pretty typical, if you ask me.

...And... who is this Kathy?
