Razaya is the juggernaut ship of the Green Lantern: The Animated Series fandom.
Canon
Razer and Aya develop feelings for each other over the first half of the series as they work together to stop the Red Lanterns’ invasion. After Aya has a near death experience in the second half of the series, Razer attempts to push her away to spare himself the pain from losing her. This pushes her to take control of the Manhunters and attempt to eradicate emotion from the galaxy. She comes to her senses after she reflexively wounds him during the series finale, and he confesses his true feelings. They reconcile, but Aya sacrifices herself in order to destroy the remainder of her forces. Convinced that she is still alive somewhere, Razer sets out in search of her.
In 2018, the Justice League Action episode "Barehanded" revealed that Space Cabbie's GPS was in fact Aya suffering from amnesia following her apparent death in the finale of her original series. At the end of the episode, she tells Cabbie that she feels compelled to search for someone - heavily implied to be Razer - and she sets off into the universe to do so.
In 2022, the fourth season of Young Justice features a guest appearance from Razer, who has spent four years in-universe since the end of the Green Lantern cartoon searching for Aya and is beginning to lose hope. By the end of the episode, his hope is renewed, and he resolves to find Aya as he resumes his search.
