I was reading [this piece of short comic remake titled "How you play it"
illustrated by Kawacy](https://kawacy.deviantart.com/art/How-you-play-
it-705038217) and it says

> Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji from Fate/Grand Order
>
> a.k.a the GUDAGUDA ship.

So I search about it, it seems like an [event from Fate/Grand Order called
GUDAGUDA Honnouji
Event](http://fategrandorder.wikia.com/wiki/GUDAGUDA_Honnouji_Event). From
[here](https://www.tanoshiijapanese.com/dictionary/entry_details.cfm?entry_id=343&element_id=6569),
I know gudaguda (ぐだぐだ) mean exhausted; tired. But the event summery says

> Something like a "GUDAGUDA Honnouji" suddenly appeared in Chaldea, and Oda
> Nobunaga is ready for action!

which suggests it's an object rather than a state

So what is GUDAGUDA exactly in relation to Fate/GO? And why did the Oda
Nobunaga and Okita Souji pairing get called GUDAGUDA ship? I tried to Google
GUDAGUDA ship and I got lot of Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji pairing so it's
not something only from Kawacy above

Note: I have zero knowledge of Japanese language and I never play Fate/GO

What is the so-called "GUDAGUDA ship" involving Oda Nobunaga and Okita Souji?


Some time ago, there was this parody manga written by Keikenchi called Koha-
Ace, featuring Kohaku from Tsukihime as an main character of sorts, along with
several characters of the Nasuverse. Although it's a joke-series, it's still
considered official, some of it's segments were part of the Carnival Phantasm
animation.

One of the stories that ran in this manga was Fate/KOHA-ACE, an alternate
Third Holy Grail War, where Oda Nobunaga (Demon Archer) and Okita Souji
(Sakura Saber) were summoned.

After the mobile app based on the Nasuverse, Fate/Grand Order, was announced,
Keikenchi was asked to author a short series to be released on the game's
website some time before the game even released. It was supposed to be a
showcase of the servants that would be available on the game, though it kind
of degenerated into random shaenaenigans. The web series was titled
Fate/GUDAGUDA Order, and the MCs of sorts were Nobunaga and Okita, and they
ended up being shipped by the fandom. Eventually, they actually made it to the
game during an event around 4-5 months after the game was released, which was
called the GUDAGUDA Honnouji event.

You can legally read this manga on the F/GO (US) site [here](http://fate-
go.us/gudao/).
