Yukiteru Amano
His relationship with his parents seems strained at best. His parents had divorced one year prior to the beginning of the series, yet he still holds out hope that they will reconcile and be a family again. His mother is often away for fairly long periods of time due to her occupation and his father rarely visits him.

Yuki's relationship with Yuno is a complicated one, having formed an unintended pact with Yuno to become her boyfriend and eventual husband. He is at first terrified and disturbed by Yuno's darker qualities, and is haunted by the discovery of the corpses he finds in her house for a long time. Yuki's patience and willingness to forgive her becomes increasingly limited, up till the point that he abandons her when she kidnaps him and harms his friends even after promising never to do so again. For the longest time, Yuki merely uses Yuno as a shield, knowing that she will do anything for him, which he takes advantage of numerous times including when he actually tries to win the survival game. However, despite Yuno's problems, Yuki becomes very fond of her and eventually grows to genuinely care for and love her, as he begins to understand the reasons behind her insanity, and that she's in fact a lonely and fragile kind girl.

Yuki has a complex love/hate relationship with Minene, starting off as enemies but their repeated encounters cause them to put their differences aside and form a relationship similar to that of a big sister and little brother. Minene eventually realises they have similarities after Yuki's parents die, Minene having lost hers at a young age, admitting she enjoys Yuki's suffering only because it reflects what she experienced in the Middle East. Both Yuki and Minene are more than willing to call each other out and point out one another's errors. Yuki is devastated by Minene's apparent sacrifice, but is thrilled when she is revealed to be alive, their sibling-like relationship truly coming to light in the third world.

Minene Uryu
Minene and Nishijima have a unique relationship in the series, having several coincidental or possibly fateful encounters before they become allies. Minene considers Nishijima an enigma, and rejects his friendly, romantic outlook on life, even more baffled by his concern towards her. Nishijima eventually falls in love with Minene and proposes to her, much to Minene's shock. This confuses Minene to her core, questioning the belief that she needs no one and must remain alone. However, she drops her belief and accepts Nishijima's love and proposal. Minene also forms an on-and-off friendship with Yukiteru, first starting off as enemies but become friends later on. Minene sympathises with Yukiteru when his parents die, pondering if he can earn a happy ending like she failed to. Minene concludes she wants to be saved, and both Nishijima and Yukiteru help her to achieve her wish.
