* Admired By: Hallie Parker and Annie James
* Respected By: The Good Aligned Deities of the Pantheon/{{Dragons}} Sub-House
* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Homura Akemi]]
* Uneasy Relationship: Most Dwarves in the Pantheon ([[ElvesVersusDwarves Due to Historical Grievances on the High Elves's Part]]).
* As two of the greatest Elven heroes in the history of Ulthuan, Tyrion and Teclis have proven themselves to be among the most inspiring figures in the Warhammer World, for they have successfully held off numerous threats, especially thr Dark Elves led by Malekith from attacking and conquering Ulthuan. Despite all this however, both brothers have had their fair share of issues, personal and racial. The High Elves were a damaged race thanks to the machinations of Malekith a few millenia ago when he instigated the [[ElvesVersusDwarves War of the Beard]] through vengeful machinations to ensure the High Elves and Dwarves did not rebel against the Dark Elves and proved successful, waking the Empire of Ulthuan and rendering the High Elves a vulnerable race. Additionally, Tyrion was driven by insecurities regarding the state of his race and the world at large, but placed special emphasis on his twin brother Teclis, who was frail and ulnerable from birth,resulting in Tyrion developing an [[BigBrotherInstinct overly protective stance]] for him. Even worse was the coming of [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt The End Times]], which all races have been preparing for quite a long time.
* After the events of the End Times, Tyrion found himself in some kind of gilded hall. He was then approached by a clearly alive Teclis, which baffled the older brother ad the last time he saw Teclis was when he was suddenly disintegrated trying to hold on to a Chaos Vortex, courtesy of [[ManipulativeBastard Mannfred von Carstein]]. Teclis told Tyrion that they were in lands never seen before and that the Chaos Gods and Dark Elves have also marked their presence. Upon hearing, Tyrion chided his brother for what had happened beforehand, but told him that there were worse matters to deal with as of now. The Elven twin brothers readied their gear and marched out of the hall, marking their presence in the Pantheon.
* Upon their ascension into the Pantheon, many deities took to noticing Tyrion and Teclis the moment they began to meet with other ascended deities from other worlds. They soon realized that the Pantheonic World was far more different compared to what they had been living and fighting in. While they expected much of the same species from their world, but they didn't come to expect each of them had varying morality, which intrigued Teclis as unlike most High Elves, he is willing to strike alliances with which the High Elves can benefit from as long as they're careful with it.
* As a masterful warrior and mage respectively, in addition to defending Ulthuan against the Dark Elves of Naggaroth for several years, Tyrion and Teclis are very highly regarded by many heroic deities, especially fellow Elves. Tyrande Whisperwind was quick to strike an alliance with them, thinking that their capabilities will benefit greatly for the side of good. They naturally joined Cosmos and the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood as they felt that they would feel most at home working with benevolent fighters and rulers.
** That said, Tyrion and Teclis can come across as [[GoodIsNotNice dry and aloof]] towards many people, allies and foes alike. Make no mistake though; [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold they truly do care about the state of other beings and the condition of the Pantheonic world overall]].
* Malekith was... somewhat impressed to see that Tyrion and Teclis made it into the Pantheon. If anything, he waited for such a moment to happen, despite having yet another [[ArchEnemy sworn nemesis]] to deal with. Malekith is taking new approaches and making allies outside of just the Dark Elves to prepare himself against Tyrion and Teclis. That said, he'll actually [[EnemyMine pull out any animosity towards them and fight together]] when it comes to the Chaos Gods and the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil, given that the Dark King himself opposes Chaos just as much as anyone and that the Pantheonic World actively encourages alliances with other races and species if it mans survival and harmony.
** Oddly enough, Malekith has managed to somewhat tone down his malicious nature, given his tenure as the [[spoiler:Eternity-King during the End-Times, where he began to soften and open up towards others and work together with other races]]. While he has returned to villainy in the Pantheon, Malekith has developed some virtues overtime. That said, he still sees Tyrion and Teclis as his [[ArchEnemy greatest enemies]], though overtime, he's become open to treat them as [[WorthyOpponent worthy adversaries]] and even elicit an aforementioned alliance at times.
* As two of the strongest Elves in the Pantheon, Tyrion and Teclis have taken it upon themselves to defend this new world as much as they could. This has been a rather stressful issue as both brothers find it difficult to find a luxurious way to spend their life. Tyrion has made it clear that its in a battle where he's at his most fuctional whereas Teclis is physically frail to the point where he needs [[HealingPotion Healing Potions]] to maintain even moving around on his feet, and this still doesn't stop him from entering battlefields every now and then.
* Learning about the state of Middle-earth and how the Elves and Dwarves have managed to still maintain a strong camaraderie with one another (despite some scuffles and tensions in their history), Tyrion and Teclis have admitted to feeling a bit jealous about how well-regarded they are, in stark contrast to the Elves and Dwarves of the Warhammer World, who remained bitter rivals til the End Times, and even then, their tensions were never fully resolved.
** Legolas and Gimli have expressed sympathy towards Tyrion and Teclis for their difficult life and for never really being able to get along with Dwarves, but have offered a conventional alliance against Sauron. Seeing what the Dark Lord was capable of and that Sauron will stop at nothing at corrupting beings into his influence much like the Chaos Gods, the Elven Twins accepted the partnership. Now that Sauron has become the top lieutenant of Darkseid and working with Archaon for their own means, the Elven brothers are more than needed at this point.
* They may promote an order of peace, but Tyrion and Teclis are willing to break through Elven norms if it means doing the right thing, establishing relationships and settling scores. They are not fond with the law and order that Ashera and YHVH preach on about and oppose Quan Chi, Dracula and Orlok, mainly because of the former's dabbling into Necromancy and the latter two being far worse vampires than Vlad could be. They've come to an uneasy terms with Vlad and Settra, considering what they've went through in the End Times, but Tyrion and Teclis are wary about the agreement for now.
* They have an established partnership with the Magical Girl Sisterhood and the Four Magicians, if mainly because Teclis himself is a formidable mage in his own right. Doctor Strange had admitted to stating that he would like to help out Teclis's psychical frailty, but has had little success, given that the Curse of Aenarion has enough influence on Teclis's body, just as much as it does on Tyrion's mind. Fate Testarossa-Harlaown has expressed sympathy in the amount of drama Tyrion and Teclis have been through, given how Fate has had familial issues similar to the Elven Twins.
** They have varying opinions on the Puella Magi. Due to her nature as the Pantheon's HopeBringer, they've both given their support towards Madoka Kaname, who is the only member that the Elven Twins equally respect in high regard. That's not to say they dislike the other members, only that they have their own preferences. Tyrion favors Sayaka Miki and Kyoko Sakura because they're headstrong and dedicated warriors just like him, in addition to Sayaka having troubling emotional baggage like Tyrion does. Teclis has an OddFriendship with Mami Tomoe as they're generally concerned about others beyond just their own demographic. Homura Akemi remains the only Puella Magi where Tyrion and Teclis have conflicting thoughts that don't amount to an answer. While they admit that her love for Madoka is genuine, they also think what she did was selfish and has only bought in more damage towards the Pantheon, herself and Madoka.
* Are currently stationed on the Pantheon/GUAGSacredKnights Division, given their ability to lead great armies and be powerful opponents that have led Ulthuan to victory several times. Thanks to the twins, the prominence of Elves in the GUAG has increased by a slim margin.
** That said, both Tyrion and Teclis were disappointed to know about Sylvanas Whisperwind and the direction she took later in her life. Sylvanas simply sees the Elven Twins as enemies that she'll have to deal with. Despite her villainy, Tyrion and Teclis have noted that she is still nowhere as malicious as their world's Dark Elves and are thinking about working with Tyrande in the hopes of redeeming her in the future. Progress is yet to me made as of now...
* While they have been admired and sought after by various warriors and elves, this also happens to be the case for Hallie Parker and Annie James, whom also reside in the same Sub-House as Tyrion and Teclis. The twin sisters look up to Tyrion and Teclis for being inspiration heroes and for doing the best they could for their home, alongside highlighting Tyrion's devotion to protecting and looking after Teclis. Teclis seems to enjoy Hallie and Annie's company, even offering them snark practices to make their tricks more vocally effective. They're also respected by the Pantheon/{{Dragons}} Sub-House given the High Elves's capability to tame and ride dragons into battle, which is a rare feat in the Warhammer World. There are some exceptions like Smaug, Grima and Tiamut, whom Tyrion and Teclis heavily oppose given their malicious nature.
* As the Pantheon was an amalgamation of several different universes with unique settings, Tyrion and Teclis were interested to see what sort of experiences and trubulence they've had to endure over the years. One of those which reminded the brothers of their world was [[Franchise/DragonAge Thedas]], which also had Elves that were becoming a vulnerable race, but were also facing hardship and discrimination from the other races. They were able to sympathize with them, given how the High Elves of the Old World were also not in a good state. They've made friends with Merrill, with Teclis willing to teach her in bettering the control of her powers.
* Exclusive to Tyrion:
** Despite all the heroism and praise that Tyrion has accumulated, one thing that cannot be changed is the fact that being a descendant of Aenarion [[BlessedWithSuck is detrimental]], or in his case, his mind. Tyrion is brash and impulsive, which does play up his personality trait of him being rather sheltered and reserved about his feelings. There's no denying he cares about the High Elves and especially his brother, but its really difficult to keep in check of his mind, lest he [[AxCrazy lets it all out during battle]], becoming a terrifying butcher in the battlefield.
*** This reached its logical conclusion when Tyrion found out [[spoiler: he had a daughter with Alarielle, Aliathra, who was kidnapped and sacrificed by Arkhan ([[KickTheDog who was aided by Teclis of all people]]) to bring back Nagash. The stress and frustration built up by these string of events prompted Tyrion to pick up the [[EvilSword Widowmaker]], which corrupted him into becoming the Avatar of Khaine. He then proceeded to reignite the Elven Civil War, right in the middle of the End Times, during which most elves sided with Malekith, who by then, was the Phoenix King after receiving conformation that he was indeed, the destined ruler and gatherer of all Elves]].
** Some deities have suggested Tyrion to go seek out Mental Health Support to help out with his angst and worry. Tyrion hasn't really responded all that much and if he does so, he states that his mind is already troubled by the course bought up by Aenarion's lineage and thus, he really can't do anything to help it out if the Four Magicians couldn't do much either.
** As much of an amazing warrior and an inspirational hero ad he is, Tyrion is surprisingly a klutz outside of warfare. He's pretty aloof and isn't really much of an expert in a lot of things, save for loving and looking after Teclis. He does however pay no interest in politics, thinking it'd a waste of time for him.
** Has struck a friendship with several knightly deities, namely Link, Lucina, Arturia Pendragon and Aragorn for being fellow fighters of defense and peace. He's praised all of them for saving their respective worlds in some way or another and is more than willing to fight side-by-side with them. It also helps in that Tyrion is beginning to tone down on his prejudiced views towards Non-Elven beings thanks to the Pantheon and its influence.
* Exclusive to Teclis:
** Given that [[spoiler:he betrayed Tyrion [[MoralEventHorizon in the worst way possible]]]], Teclis is undergoing his own set of angst. The fact that [[spoiler:his plans to stop the End Times by taking drastic actions, which not just backfired horribly, but actually accelerated the destruction of the Warhammer World isn't helping matters either. And then there's Teclis trying to contain the Rift, only to end up [[ShootTheShaggyDog disintegrating whilst making no difference in saving the world]]]]. Unlike Tyrion however, Teclis is accepting in taking therapy and seeking mental health and emotional support and help from others.
*** [[spoiler:All that said, Tyrion still cared and loved Teclis like how any elder brother would, even ruthlessly killing Mannfred for playing a hand in Teclis's death]]. They're still working together in the Pantheon, with their feud against Malekith now restarted, though Teclis feels as if Malekith's CharacterDevelopment in the End Times has played a role in him being somewhat softer and more affable in the Pantheon than he was in the Warhammer World.
** He has made a good partnership with a human dwarf, whose is also named Tyrion. Tyrion Lannister similarly bonded with Teclis in that both of them have elder brothers who would stand by and protect them, in addition to them having a [[DeadpanSnarker sharp and coarse sense of humor]] that defined their personality. They've given thoughts about playing a political role in the Pantheon at some point, which Teclis would enjoy doing.
** As a master mage, he is sought after by many wizards and witches, experienced or in training,such as Schierke, Aqua and Zatanna. It helps in that Teclis played a hand in establishing the [[WizardingSchool Imperial Colleges of Magic]] to help mortals in learning magic to combat against the Forces of Chaos.

* On speaking terms with: [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Paige]], [[Pantheon/TypesOfMadness Dean Ambrose/Jon Moxley]]
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude Bray Wyatt and the Wyatt Family]]
* Belonging to the legendary Anoa'i family of wrestlers, the sons of Rikishi knows as The Usos have fought together their entire lives.
* There are rumors that The Bella Twins wanted to claim the title since Brie and Nikki came first. But since the Bellas once got split up due to the infamous Bella Drama fiasco in 2014 (although they reconciled later), the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods has decided that The Usos are joining the Pantheon.
** As a compensation, they chose the Bellas as their High Priestesses.
* The good Street Fighters in general respect them, because they got notable followers in Yun and Yang Lee, that is until they got properly ascended.
* True to their WrestlingFamily roots, they get well along with cousin Roman Reigns as well as his teammate Dean Ambrose, despite having occasionally competed against The Shield. Seth Rollins, however, was the first to betray that group, and antagonized The Usos a few times since then as an extension of his feud with Reigns, earning the Samoans' enmity.
** Rollins later came to regret his actions and eventually redeemed himself, reconnecting with The Shield. While The Usos appreciated this, they moreso looked forward to crossing paths with Rollins and Ambrose as opponents. Then Ambrose betrayed Rollins on the night Reigns had to step down due to leukemia, and weeks later Dean [[spoiler:blamed The Shield for making him weak and ''burned his Shield vest'']]. The Usos pretty much stopped speaking to him since, and even though they did sympathize somewhat with his grievances over the following weeks as he abandoned his Shield name to become Jon Moxley, they still felt he was going about things the wrong way. When Moxley made amends with The Shield before ending his time in Vince [=McMahon=]'s Universe, The Usos wished him well.
* Jimmy is currently married to Wrestling/{{Naomi}}, who's yet to be ascended. At one point she snapped after attacking Paige in an act of rage, causing the brothers to consider safeguarding Paige so Naomi and Tamina couldn't attack her and make her life miserable. Paige refused, saying she take care of herself, and the feud eventually became a three-team struggle before ultimately dissolving. After a few tumultuous years of behind-the-scenes troubles both physical and mental, Paige was forced to retire due to her neck injuries, being compensated with a role as ''[=SmackDown=]'' General Manager — ironically making her The Usos' supervisor.
* Became nervous upon learning how Randy Orton allied himself with The Wyatt Family and then got even '''more''' nervous when they learned how Orton ''[[KillItWithFire set fire to the remains of Sister Abigail]]'', knowing that Bray will be absolutely pissed off and on a rampage. Then things got worse when the Wyatt Family split up, with Harper and Rowan now christened The Bludgeon Brothers and becoming The Usos' rivals for tag team gold, Braun Strowman tearing opponents left and right (including tipping ''an ambulance'' that had Roman stuck in it over) and [[Pantheon/FanReaction BROKEN Matt Hardy]] fighting Bray in "The Ultimate Deletion" and "purifying" Bray's soul from Sister Abigail's influence.
** From there they learned what Matt did to [[Fanfic/ThroughDarknessAndMirrors three little girls]] in December, which caused them to ally with [[Pantheon/{{Vampires}} Gangrel and Luna Vachon]], who also have beef with Matt and Bray. It helps that 'Grel is very close friends with their father Rikishi, as they run a wrestling school together. The relationship is tense, and both of The Usos aren't ready to keep an eye on the Cutie Mark Crusaders (considering their mental health after everything they went through).
*** Activity from the Wyatt family has died out, but Eric Strowman has now allied himself with Daniel Bryan whom neither are happy about with his FaceHeelTurn.
* Upon hearing someone stating to "FEEL…THE POWER!!!", the two knew that The New Day had arrived and confronted their rivals head on. The gods have heard of their epic clashes in the mortal realm and cannot wait to see what the groups will showcase at the PWF.
** The Usos have nothing but utter respect for the trio, even ''forfeiting'' during a Tag-Team Gauntlet match against Big E and Xavier Woods so that Kofi can fight Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship.

-->'''Machiavelli:''' (chuckles) "[[YouGotSpunk I like her already, Ezio]]."

* High Priests: [[AudioPlay/YandereNoOnnaNoKo Nana/Nono]]

* Ellen being a botanist meant that she took the time to understand some of the more varied plants that the Pantheon housed, with many of them having varying levels of intelligence as well as some other, different attributes to add to their uniqueness. One kind of plant that Ellen took an interest in was the Piranha Plants and decided to bring home a black-colored Piranha Plant to show to Edgar. Although the Plant initially got involved with pranks at Edgar’s expense and still does whenever the twins are at home, Edgar and Ellen decided to make the most of that plant pet for some of their schemes. Ellen takes care of her Piranha Plant while still visiting the gardens home to other Piranha Plants, usually to take notice of their abilities to see if it's possible to come up with a special Piranha Plant that has all of the abilities of others of its kind that she can unleash in the Pantheon. Cagney Carnation was another flower that Ellen took a liking to, though given how he has a fixed location compared to the Piranha Plants, she tends to visit him with Edgar often getting involved. Ellen has taken a strong interest in what Cagney is capable of and is looking to apply it to a smaller, but more mobile version of himself, the results of which Cagney is curious about even if it ends up being used as part of a scheme by the twins.
* The twins can be seen as a darker counterpart to Phineas & Ferb when it comes to designing elaborate contraptions to liven up their surroundings. Whereas Phineas & Ferb’s designs tend to make things more fun for others in addition to themselves, Edgar & Ellen have made inventions that are designed to trick others for the twin’s own amusement. Candace Flynn, while still caring about Phineas & Ferb even though she has tried to catch their shenanigans, ended up witnessing some strange events in the Pantheon and her attempt at busting her siblings resulted in confused looks from Phineas & Ferb who mentioned that they had nothing to do with what was happening. She then took it upon herself to figure out what’s going on and found herself caught in a prank instigated by Edgar & Ellen, who she identified as goth-looking twins. Subsequent attempts by Candace to bust Edgar & Ellen haven’t gone smoothly since not only is Candace subject to humiliation, but Edgar & Ellen are also prone to slapstick during such events. As for Phineas & Ferb, the two have noticed the events and inventions going around by separate siblings and while Edgar & Ellen’s definition of “fun” is a bit edgier than how Phineas & Ferb view that word, the twins have extended an invitation to Phineas & Ferb for an invention competition as part of an elaborate prank, with Phineas & Ferb thinking over what contraption they should make to help them win this “contest”.
* Edgar & Ellen were far from the only twins present in the Pantheon and while they can normally be best described as brats, there were other twins that were very different from them. The Sonozaki twins were another pair of troublemakers that took part in the chaos that Edgar & Ellen created, often through the use of games where something humiliating would happen to the loser. Edgar & Ellen weren’t above laughing at the other whenever something embarrassing would happen to one of them during such instances, much to the annoyance of the other. On a significantly darker note, while Edgar & Ellen are seen as a bit creepy, the two were actually creeped out by Hansel & Gretel, a murderous duo that suffered a horrible past that played a role in them becoming criminals. The worst that Edgar & Ellen suffered in their past was their parents leaving them behind and not having much of an understanding of societal norms, but it didn’t change the fact that Edgar & Ellen were doing as much as they can to distance themselves from Hansel & Gretel in that no matter how crazy their pranks can get, they’re not trying to actively murder anyone in contrast to Hansel & Gretel’s psychotic enjoyment of such criminal behavior.
* George Beard & Harold Hutchins were a pair of children that served as a contrast to Edgar & Ellen when it came to making pranks on others. George & Harold are students in a miserable school and carry out a wide assortment of jokes to make things better for others, often at the expense of the mean-spirited staff members there and those pranks have a tendency of getting out of control. Edgar & Ellen decided to bring their brand of chaos to one of the Pantheonic schools and it was there that George & Harold learned about other pranksters thanks to the fact that some of the students were getting tricked and that George & Harold initially didn’t have anything to do with what the students were going through. What followed was a prank war between the twins and the two boys that turned the school into a mess and George & Harold (who are both nice guys in spite of their mischief) realized that Edgar & Ellen didn’t really care about what happened to others so long that they got amusement out of it. After their punishment that was a prolonged detention was finished, George & Harold saw the twins as rivals in the pranking game and neither party was going down without some hard slapstick falls.

* Ellen being a botanist meant that she took the time to understand some of the more varied plants that the Pantheon housed, with many of them being alive and having some different attributes to add to their uniqueness. One kind of plant that Ellen took an interest in was the Piranha Plants and decided to bring home a black-colored Piranha Plant to show to Edgar. Although the Plant initially got involved with pranks at Edgar’s expense and still does whenever the twins are at home, Edgar and Ellen decided to make the most of that plant pet for some of their schemes. Ellen takes care of her Piranha Plant while still visiting the gardens home to other Piranha Plants, usually to take notice of their abilities to see if it's possible to come up with a special Piranha Plant that has all of the abilities of others of its kind that she can unleash in the Pantheon. Cagney Carnation was another flower that Ellen took a liking to, though given how he has a fixed location compared to the Piranha Plants, she tends to visit him with Edgar often getting involved. Ellen has taken a strong interest in what Cagney is capable of and is looking to apply it to a smaller, but more mobile version of himself, the results of which Cagney is curious about even if it ends up being used as part of a scheme by the twins.

* During one of their trips away from the Pantheon to explore other universes (Dipper wanted to find more strange things he could catalog in the journals, Mabel wanted to find a boyfriend), they discovered a [[Fanfic/TranscendenceAU cluster of worlds]] similar to theirs, where one or sometimes both of them became demons (and took the names Alcor or Mizar, respectively) after absorbing Bill Cipher's powers because of Bill failing a DemonicPossession.

* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/AntiHeroes Iroque]]
* One day, the House of Theater was holding an exhibitional Action Duel and everyone is curious who will be performing. [[Pantheon/NiceandNasty Sora Shiun'in]] had a good feeling who they are and bought a ticket just to see. Sure enough, when the curtains open, the performers made a familiar speech, the lights finally shine on them to reveal his true best friends, Yuya Sakaki and Yuzu Hiiragi in a jester costume and an elegant music-themed dress respectively. [[WhenHeSmiles Their appearances are enough to put a legitimate smile on his face]]. During the duel, he notices that Yuya and Yuzu had mixed their own monsters [[spoiler:with those of their counterparts, which means that said counterparts are working together to help them]]. The duel ends spectacularly in a draw with the performers giving it their all and the audience applauded enthusiastically. Once they left, [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Sora finally reunites with Yuya and Yuzu at the backstage by giving them a warm hug]]. After some small talk, Sora offers them a place in the Pantheons. They were both curious about it anyways, so they accept. They were brought to the Court of the Gods for pending approval.
** The Court has found out that [[AllegedLookalikes despite being distinguishable enough from their dimensional counterparts, Yuya and Yuzu are still improperly confused for them back in their homeworld]], so they granted them a position in the sub-house of Twins. There was another problem; [[BrokenBase their followers are broken over]] [[spoiler:[[SharingABody their counterparts being fused permanently to Yuya and Yuzu]]]]. To prevent unnecessary backlash from the mortal world, the counterparts were granted independent bodies as well as entering and exiting Yuya and Yuzu's souls at will. Their reactions are of joy and relief as they hug with their now, corporeal bodies.
* Their temple resemble Yuya's house, down to the last detail. The only noticeable difference is that there is more rooms to accommodate all eight of them and a door that leads to an Action Duel Room whenever they want to practice their skills. Once they settle in, they decided to get to know each other since the Dimensional War kept them too occupied.
** Yuto and Serena are surprised that they share [[NoNonsenseNemesis some]] [[PerpetualFrowner common]] [[DarkIsNotEvil things]]. Yuto also says he does not blame Serena for the invasion on the Xyz Dimension to which Serena accepted with relief. Serena even described him as "Yuya, but edgier" (which he is a bit miffed about). Yuto also mends his bridges with Yugo when they both found out they have a prior [[Creator/ManpeiTakagi connec]][[Creator/ShinpeiTakagi tion]] and [[spoiler:[[AlwaysSavetheGirl they would do anything to save their beloved.]]]]
** Yugo finds Ruri to be very pleasant to talk to, calling her "a nicer Rin". Rin both got [[ClingyJealousGirl envious of Ruri]] and [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne feel offended at his remark]], even if Ruri is very nice (it also helps that she's the only Braclet Girl that hasn't hit him). Yugo also get along easily with Yuya after some hearsay from Yuzu and finds a lot of common ground with him. Some would say they were closer in [[Manga/YuGiOhARCV another timeline]] as well.
** Besides Yugo and the other orphans, Rin [[LimitedSocialCircle doesn't have many friends]]. She finds pleasure with the other Bracelet Girls [[spoiler:aside from sharing experiences of brainwashing and kept in giant tubes]]; Ruri is obviously nice and Yuzu has more kinship with her, bonding over their dumb best friends. Serena is a special mention as Rin ended up developed a {{Friendly Rivalry}} with her; one minute they are bickering and another they got along fine. Yugo wonders if the Synchro and Fusion Dimensions are destined to bicker with each other. On another note, Rin also got along with Yuya, finding him more restrained than Yugo and Yuto once she looks past his scary exterior.
** Besides Yugo and Rin, Ruri meets Yuya and Yuzu and finds a lot of similarities between her and Yuto, [[ChildhoodFriends only with a stronger and pre-established relationship]] and no romantic step yet. She offered some relationship advice to them, but they politely decline with [[LuminescentBlush blushes on their faces]] as they feel not ready for a serious relationship yet. She also got along with Serena as she [[TomboyandGirlyGirl contrasts her tomboyishness with Ruri's feminity]] as well as bonding over [[spoiler:being brainwashed by the Parasite Fusioner]].
** As for Yuri, well... everyone but Yuya is not willing to forgive him, [[MoralEventHorizon not after all the things he has done during the war]]. Yuya already learned that [[spoiler:Z-arc played a part in his sadism]] and assures everyone he will not harm another life anymore. Yuto however, points out that the Court will not go easy on Yuri, seeing how the most depraved monsters ever has a place in the Pantheons by being supervised very often. Yuri admits [[spoiler:he is [[TheAtoner ready to bear his sins]] and decided to take a passive role from now on]]. The other counterparts then [[ForgivenButNotForgotten forgive him, but declares that they will not hesitate to stop him once more]].
* Applies to all of them:
** After that, they decided to meet other people who came from their universe. Yuya obviously get along with his predecessors due to metaphysically [[AllYourPowersCombined combining their abilities]] by mastering all four prior summoning methods and [[{{Expy}} having some of their traits]] [[ContrastingSequelMainCharacter while still being his own person]]. Yuya also has an unfortunate meeting with [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Anna Kozuki]], with the latter thinking it was her similarly named childhood friend Yuya Tsukune arriving. She quickly apologized when Yuma had to clear up the confusion, though Yuya luckily forgives her for that mistake. Meanwhile, Yuzu got along with her own predecessors, who are so proud of her for [[Main/{{Deuteragonist}} being more important in her story]]. She is a bit baffled that the [[Pantheon/LoveGestures Asuka Tenjoin]] she meet in the Pantheons is [[SameCharacterButDifferent rather different than the one she met]], to which Asuka became curious about her Fusion Dimension counterpart.
---> '''Asuka''': What was my counterpart like?
---> '''Yuzu''': A lot like you, only she never said anything about an older brother.
---> '''Asuka''': Hmm...
*** Yuto gets along with [[Pantheon/GamingStyles Yami Yugi]] and [[Pantheon/ExtraterrestrialBehaviour Astral]] due to guiding their respective protagonists, even being similar to the former in [[SpiritAdvisor some]] [[FlipPersonality aspects]]. He and Ruri also meet [[Pantheon/PowerLevelsAndAppearance Kaito Tenjo]], who is rather different than their home dimension's Kaito, as this one had a little brother and robot assistant. Kaito has never met them before, but when he found out about their Heartland being ravaged during the war, he offered his full support of them. Their herald, Allen has met the aforementioned Anna, who proceeded to befriend him and help him in refining his [[SiegeEngines Railway]] deck. They both have noted the same surnames.
*** Yugo and Rin bonded with [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Yusei Fudo]] and his friends as they join together in building and tuning D-Wheels and eating some good cup ramen. They also realized that [[Pantheon/LandAndSeaTravel Jack Atlas]] seems a bit chummier than they assumed before, and luckily Jack has his Synchro Dimension counterpart as his high priest, so he understands their situation. Yugo got along with Bruno, who joins him in crazy antics, making Rin feeling like there's two Yugos now. Rin also got along with [[Pantheon/TreesAndFlowers Aki Izayoi]] for being connected to witches in one way (Aki with her {{Red Baron}}, Rin having a Wind Witches deck). Rin was shocked that Aki's powers [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer ostracized her from her peers when she was younger]] and caused her to join a cult of psychics.
---> '''Rin''': I can't believe you had such a rough life before, Aki-san.
---> '''Aki''': You tell me. At least it's better than a war that spans dimensions.
*** [[Pantheon/{{Luckiness}} Judai]] is glad that his High Priest, Serena is here and decided to mentor her to polish her dueling skills. She finds him a better elder figure than Professor Leo, who would act distant to her sometimes. Yuri gets along better with [[Pantheon/{{Gender}} Yubel]], as they were once evil before, weirdly fixated on their respective protagonist and [[spoiler:[[FusionDance ultimately became one with them]]]].
*** They have made enemies there as well. They don't like [[Pantheon/GamingStyles Bandit Keith]] for his tendency to cheat. [[Pantheon/{{Personalities}} Dark Marik]] is so {{Ax Crazy}} that it even hits Yuri too close to home. [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas Noah Kaiba]] may have reformed, but the counterparts will stop him if he does anything funny. The same goes for [[Pantheon/ElementsAndNatureOther Dartz]] and [[Pantheon/{{Harbingers}} Takuma]] [[Pantheon/ComplexSymbolism Saiou]] whenever they are possessed. Otherworldly beings like [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Zorc Necrophades]] and [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnLife Don Thousand]] are on their shitlist as well. Zorc is curious to death about his {{Expy}} while Thousand is considering reawakening Z-arc within the boys for his own plans, [[spoiler:[[FailedASpotCheck not realizing]] that Z-arc not only reincarnated in another person, he also already lost his appetite for destruction a long time ago]].
** The Bracelet Girls had an unfortunate encounter with Embryo one day. Embryo has heard about their dueling prowesses and feel they are [[AmazonChaser strong enough for his tastes]]. They had heard rumors that he is dangerous, especially towards women and tried to escape. Before he can take them away, the [[Pantheon/GUAGRelationshipEnchancers Chick Magnet Quintet]] came to the rescue. [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Issei Hyodo]] and [[Pantheon/{{Heirs}} Ange]] were absolutely pissed that he would attack such defenseless and innocent girls, especially during their downtime. Not wanting to take any chances considering they are strong enough to pulverize him, he escapes after proclaiming that he will capture the girls one day. The girls are very grateful for their help and decided to ally with them, and by extension their lovers as well.
*** When news reached Yuya, Yuto and Yugo's ears, they were '''LIVID''' at the fact that the girls were assaulted while they were gone and decided to befriend the Quintet as well. Yuri is a bit fascinated about Embryo, finding some [[Main/{{Expy}} commonalities with their own behaviours]]. But [[EvenEvilHasStandards even he has limits]] when it comes to kidnapping someone, as Embryo did so for his self-indulgence while Yuri was {{Just Following Orders}}.
** Vehemently opposes all brainwashing deities as [[spoiler: the girls got brainwashed by an [[HerrDoktor evil doctor]] with the Parasite Fusioner and the boys are forced to duel them in that state.]] Johan Liebert gets a special mention, as he can control someone's mind just by [[MoreThanMindControl TALKING AND HITTING THEIR MENTAL WEAK SPOTS]]. Johan tries to get to them by getting to Yuri first, telling him they are not so different from each other and he can still be evil [[WeCanRuleTogether if he joins him]]. Yuri promptly responds by summoning Starve Venom Fusion Dragon and incinerate him to ashes. Basically, his way of saying, "''[[ShutUpHannibal Screw off]].''" After reviving in the House of Health & Diseases, Johan vows he will END the counterparts, one way or another.
*** They are a bit ambivalent on Iroque, though. On one hand, she means well but on the other, brainwashing is equivalent to robbing anyone of their free will. Iroque assures them she goes after unrepentant people, which doesn't really calm them down. They get along better with the Phantom Thieves of Hearts, although their methods of entering Palaces and stealing people's desires is still morally questionable. The thieves are curious and a bit scared if [[spoiler:the Parasite Fusioner]] becomes a legitimate threat in Mementos.
** Also expressed their enmity of Monokuma and Junko Enoshima, as they not only get other people to kill each other in the name of despair, they even [[spoiler:brainwashed an entire class and their teacher to make them fall into despair and become mindless pawns of despair]] which brings back unpleasant memories of the Dimensional War. Enoshima finds them to be perfect toys to play with, especially Yuri [[spoiler:although Yuri has no intention of joining her]].
** The Trollkaigers tried to torture them the same way they tortured Kirito and Asuna; by separating Yuya and Yuzu with the counterparts stuck inside their bodies in two rooms. At first they got what they wanted with the two emotionally broken and crying out each other's names, but then... [[AwakeningTheSleepingGiant the boys ended up breaking out of their room by summoning their strongest forms of their dragons]]. '''[[OhCrap WHILE IN THEIR AWAKENING STATE]]'''. The Trollkaigers get roasted alive one by one before the boys successfully rescue the girls. Since then, both parties involved are sworn enemies, with Terumi making sure they will have more worse emotional torture the next time around.
*** This incident led to the counterparts befriending Kirito and Asuna, who went through a similar ordeal, except they were powerless to fight back. After finding some other common ground, Yuya and Yuzu offered to defend them whenever they are offline and they accepted. Through them they also became aware of Nobuyuki Sugou, who advocates brainwashing and commited atrocites to ALO players for such, something they vehemently oppose. Sugou has heard of what they are capable of and the lengths they would go to dissuade brainwashing from their loved ones, deciding to lay low and not provoke them at the wrong time.
** Only Yuya is capable enough to befriend Touko Fukawa due to her standoffish nature preventing the other counterparts from doing so. Fukawa finds him a lot similar to the Naegi siblings and thinks he is worth her time. The same cannot be said for Genocider Syo, who openly and cheerily expresses wanting to kill the Yu Boys had it not been for everyone watching over her. Only Yuri attempts to approach her and so far, they get along amicably and safely though Yuri draws his line on killing; he prefers to seal people in cards, thank you.
** The counterparts also befriended Cliana Rimskaya, as she also shares a body with another personality. Liana is a bit jealous that the counterparts can have their own bodies while she and Chris are stuck in one (not that they don't mind).
** Wander heard about the newcomers arriving and decided to befriend all of them. They warmly accept his friendship because he is THAT nice, while Yuri is a bit hesitant to take his hand. Wander says that he will never judge him for his past ever, which Yuri reluctantly accepts and shake his hand, becoming Yuri's first legitimate friend aside from the counterparts.
---> '''Yuri''': [''shedding tears''] [[WhatIsThisFeeling A... A real friend...]]
*** This friendship also extends to his steed Sylvia. She is still keeping an eye on Yuri, despite Wander telling her [[spoiler:he is harmless now]].
** The counterparts have met [[Pantheon/{{Friendship}} Gentaro Kisaragi AKA Kamen Rider Fourze]], Ryusei Sakuta and the Kamen Rider Club, who got along with them swiftly. A party was thrown (by [[Pantheon/{{Celebration}} Pinkie]] [[Pantheon/{{Happiness}} Pie]], no less) to celebrate their ascension together. Since then, the two groups have many misadventures, involving school, fighting bad guys or just good old hanging out somewhere. It also helps that Gentaro can tolerate Yuri's attitude (since JK was also a bit of a prick in the past) stating that, by befriending him, that means that someone accepts Yuri. This all ended with Gentaro giving his handshake to all eight of them.
** As reiterated, a recurring problem for the counterparts is that they are constantly mistaken for each other in spite of having enough distinctive features and the knightly Saber Servant Artoria Pendragon confronted them on this issue one day. She did so because she also had that same problem when the [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Caster Servant Gilles de Rais]] mistaken her for [[Pantheon/AuthorityFigures Jeanne d'Arc]] even though they are also distinct, not to mention her endless number of alternate versions of herself and others who share her face currently summoned into Chaldea not helping her case. Both parties bonded over this predicament (as well as over their experiences in miserable wars) and Saber vows she'll be there if the counterparts will face a bigger threat.
** Much to their dismay, there has been a number of villains who seek weaponize Z-arc or turn him into their ally. The Millenium Organization's Major think Z-arc is the perfect weapon to start another war, a thing that the counterparts don't want to relive. Nekron finds Z-arc's appetite for destruction [[spoiler:born out of the desire to please his home dimension's twisted audience]] to be fitting for his ideals of a dead world and Master Xehanort feels that the plan to utilize the Yu Boys for Z-arc's second revival will be one of contingency, should his current ones fail. He also finds the Bracelet Girls valuable for his plans as well, which haunts them to no end. Although he does not seek his power seeing he is more powerful than Z-arc, Zamasu thinks he failed in destroying the ''ningen'', boasting that he could do a better job than him.
*** Even Lucifer, the leader of the GUAC wanted in on Z-arc's power. He tries to coax the Yu Boys into joining him by appealing to their respective desires; they predictably declined and proceeded to tell him off, expressing that word-of-mouth and a first look at him is enough to turn them off, even though he used a non-threatening disguise. He walks off, thinking about another way to obtain Z-arc's power of destruction without a hitch.
* Exclusive to the Standard Counterparts:
** Yuya and Yuzu are inseparable, even more so after the Dimensional War. Others have noticed that they seem... [[ShipTease WAY too devoted to each other]]. A betting pool has opened to see if they become something more, which embarass the two greatly.
---> '''Yuya''': [''blushes''] W-Why does everyone think we love each other...?
---> '''Yuzu''': [''blushes''] I-It's not like we think of each other a lot!
** While comical and light-hearted, Yuya's cry of "Ladies and gentlemen!" also serves as his {{Pre Ass Kicking One Liner}}. Just because he's a showboat for the crowd doesn't mean he's not serious about winning, as opponents soon found out afterward. And Yuzu will always be there to see him smile while doing it.
** They have met Yusuke Fujisaki and Hime Onizuka as the two pairs got along for [[BokeandTsukkomiRoutine two]] [[ShipTease reasons]]. They even joined the latter for some misadventures around the Pantheon, be they weird or not.
** They have also befriended Izuku Midoriya and Ochako Uraraka. The latter two noted how similar Yuya and Yuzu are to them, like giving mutual support, having unrequited feelings [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking and similar colour palettes]]; they even throw in their full support once they heard about what happened during the Dimensional War. The four are seen hanging out very often like best friends, talking about other things like ideals and how to achieve them and growing up with hardships.
** As they had to grow up while under distressing circumstances (Yuya even more so), Yuya and Yuzu visited Garrod & Tiffa for their experience in coming into their own adulthood. They exchanged stories and came out as friends, knowing that they can't stay being kids anymore or else the world will make you do so. Another pair they befriended are Cloud & Tifa who also grew up together in their own hometown and going through numerous ordeals that test their resolves; Yuya and Cloud got along over their respective self-doubts and overcoming them along with tragic reasons why they're the way they are and Yuzu and Tifa got along as they both are very devoted and protective of the boys they always take care of.
** While exploring Elysium Academy, they both met Yuzuko Nonohara. Yuya is a bit sad that there are other people named Yuzu out there, though, Yuzu assures him that Yuzuko's name is a bit different. Yuzuko herself thinks they might be fun to be with and ask if she could learn Duel Monsters just to hang out with them. On the subject of similar names, Kazuya Minegishi thought his childhood friend [[VideoGame/DevilSurvivor Yuzu Tanikawa]] has ascended, but that is not the case. Kazuya finds Hiiragi to be a bit more subdued than the Yuzu he knows while the latter finds him quirky. Yuzu also met Kagami and Tsukasa Hiiragi and gets along with them regardless if they are related or not.
** They are Sora Shiun'in's true best friends and {{Morality Pet}}s that keep him from going too far. When they heard about the things he did in the Pantheon while they were not present, they were understandably disappointed. Sora said that he was not in his right mind, [[spoiler:he was still carrying out Academia's orders and his bigotry towards Xyz duelists is forcefully ingrained to his brain]]. They may not fully forgive him, but [[TrueCompanions he is still their friend regardless and woe to anyone who dares harm or falsely accuse either of them]].
** Due to having a similar name, Yuya really didn't know what to think of the surnameless Sora but they seem to get along just fine because both of them care about their friends. This also extends to his Pokemon partner, Gardevoir. Sora and Riku have also warned Yuya about Master Xehanort because of that inner darkness the tomato headed boy has. On another related note, Yuzu gets along with Kairi and her High Priestess, Serena for being ChildhoodFriends of their respective protagonists and [[DamselOutofDistress holding on their own]].
** Yuya and Yuzu also met Makoto Naegi and Sayaka Maizono after their run-in with Enoshima. Yuya gets along with Naegi without a hitch, since they both wanted what was best for everybody (Yuya wants to make people smile and Naegi wants to bring hope to them). Yuzu is a bit hesitant with Maizono, because on one hand she seems pretty nice and loves her job as an {{Idol Singer}} but on the other, [[spoiler:given the wrong circumstances, she will do irrational things like attempting to kill a fellow classmate and frame another for it, no matter the excuse]]. For now, Yuzu decides to play nice while not trying to get on her bad side.
** Yuya gets along with the Kamen Riders, especially [[Pantheon/OtherDimensions Tsukasa Kadoya]] and [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Kouta Kazuraba]] as well as [[Pantheon/AntiHeroes the Gokaigers]] as they seem to have some similarities, even if many people will flip out if you mention Yuya being similar to the former in any way. Ironically, Yuya himself flipped out and screamed "YAMEROOO!!!" [[labelnote:Translation]]"Stooop!!!"[[/labelnote]] at Decade after seeing him using the Rider cards, believing that he "carded" his fellow Riders because of a ''[[MemeticMutation misunderstanding]]''. It took the combined effort of all of them to snap Yuya out of Awakening. [[note]]Yes, Yuya then found out about how Tsukasa had done something similar to carding, but understood after Tsukasa explained it was to restore the AR Worlds back to normal.[[/note]]
*** On a related note, Kouta feels a bit sad whenever he's around Yuya for his own personal reasons. The Entertainment Duelist could only imagine what he went through to ending up losing his friend.
*** Recently met the doctor [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Emu Hojo]] and swiftly gets along with him for valuing people's lives and wanting to protect their [[MemeticMutation EGAO]]. Emu feels that Yuya's counterpart situation reminds him of the revelation that [[spoiler:he and Parad were one and the same]] down to some similarities between Yuri and Parad. Yuya sympathized with Emu on the latter's situation; Masamune wanting to control the world through an augmented reality game while controlling data of ''human beings'' is nothing different from Jean-Michel Roger wanting to control the Synchro Dimension's City with a sinister fist.
** Yuya occasionally performs in the House of Theater, often with his counterparts for Action Duels. He gets along with theatrical performers like Oscar Diggs, Krusty the Clown and Ronald Mc Donald, although Diggs' previous life of [[ConMan confidence artistry]] is something he does not approve of. He became enemies with Ludwig Von Tökkentäkker, due to him reminded Yuya of Dennis' evil phase and his Performages as well as causing fear in people by running a [[CircusOfFear scary circus]] and Kefka Palazzo for being an irredeemable {{Monster Clown}}.
** Yuya was surprised to find out that Harry Potter sounds just like [[Creator/KenshoOno him]]; he finds this amusing since he likes magicians, though Harry had to correct him that he wasn't a magician, he is a wizard. He also befriended his Pokemon partner, Charizard as he also sounds like that trainer of Mega Evolutions who also has a Charizard. The fact that Yuya likes dragons and can ride them too helps.
*** Speaking of, he was not happy to find out that this was also the case with Ren Hakuryuu. On one hand, he doesn't know what is worse: That he turned against his friends like Sora did or that endless desire of revenge Hakuryuu has, something makes him fear that he could end up as (especially if he got struck on Awakening). [[spoiler:On the other, Hakuryuu actually [[HeelFaceTurn turned good]] after an indefinite amount of time passed and his trials being triumphed]]. Hakuryuu himself finds him very naive, [[SillyRabbitIdealismIsForKids thinking that a world with smiles is impossible to happen]] which Yuya [[ITakeOffenseToThatLastOne takes offense to that]].
** Yuya has a lot of respect for his adoptive father Yusho Sakaki even if he doesn't have the best methods at times yet still gave Yuya enough love. For this, he respects good fathers/paternal figures like Greg Universe, Professor Utonium and Bryan Mills who in turn can see that Yusho tried his best in raising a happy kid while condeming Relius Clover and Professor Hojo for being terrible fathers that abused their families; Relius and Hojo themselves disregard Yuya off but Hojo later changed his mind when he heard of Z-arc and he hopes to fit him into his own plans someday.
** Aside from Kairi, Yuzu befriended other childhood friend love interests from the Battle Harem, like Houki Shinonono, Lingyin Huang and Irina Shidou. Houki and Lingyin are a bit jealous that Yuzu and Yuya don't need romance just to show each other how much they mean to them, prompting them to consider taking some time away from Ichika to see if he does care about them. As for Irina, Yuzu also bond with her over some nicknames that grinds their gears (Miss Strong for Yuzu and "self-proclaimed" for Irina).
** Since she uses a [[MagicMusic Melo]][[MakeMeWannaShout dious]] deck, Yuzu gets along with the Suite Pretty Cures, especially Hibiki Hojo/Cure Melody and Sonia Strumm. Evil musicians like Courtney Gears and Ember [=McLain=] get on her bad side the moment she confronts them.
** Yuzu also got into contact with Rin Tohsaka and her sister Sakura Matou, as she has {{Tsundere}}-ish tendecies like Tohsaka and pities Sakura's situation which is way worse than Yuya's. The sisters likewise also sympathized with Yuzu for going through an even worse war between dimensions, so they help her move on which she is flattered at. Sakura's situation also had Yuzu befriending Shiori Kurashiki who again is fated to destroy the world like Yuya had to and she hopes to help Shiori however she can to help her move on as a normal girl.
*** On a lighter note, everyone else noted Tohsaka and Yuzu started to act identically after they had a lot of outings, probably because they both have the same attitude towards their boys and similar outfits. Both girls got embarrassed by the comparison but are nonetheless glad that they have more common ground with each other.
** For some odd reason, Yuya's followers always give him tomatoes as a form of tribute. [[https://www.zerochan.net/full/1681736 Or perhaps not so odd]]. Yuzu keeps getting annoyed at the fact that the living room is flooded with them.
* Exclusive to the Xyz Counterparts:
** Yuto met another Kurosaki by the name of Ichigo. Ichigo thinks Yuto is gonna insult him much like Sora, but was surprised that Yuto is apologizing on Sora's behalf, which he accepts nonetheless. He also notes that Yuto's relationship with Ruri is a lot like his with Orihime [[spoiler:except Ichigo and Orihime did get married at the end]] and gives Yuto some encouragement and best wishes, which Yuto nervously accepts.
** With his deck being the [[BlackKnight Phantom Knights]], he gets along with ghost-human hybrids Danny Phantom and Youmu Konpaku. Danny also warns him of Vlad Plasmius and Dark Danny, and Yuto makes sure he stays wary of them. From what Danny described, Dark Danny sounds ''frightening'', debatably even more frightening than Z-arc.
*** Speaking of ghosts, Yuto meets the Kamen Riders Ghost, Specter and Necrom. Of course, Yuto really didn't die [[spoiler:he just merged with Yuya and guides him along the way]]. Takeru is very reminiscent of Yuya, Makoto's protectiveness of his sister Kanon reminds him of his friend Shun Kurosaki with Ruri and was glad Alain defied his evil family, who are reminiscent of Academia's evil forces. He joins them in eating takoyaki whenever he's free.
** Due to his vigilantist actions and mannerisms, Batman offers tutelage to Yuto, who politely declines since Batman has a lot in his hand. Yuto would appreciate his friendship instead. Garrus Vakarian is also another vigilante who took matters into their own hands and is their respective protagonist's partner for a long time and these traits help Yuto befriend him; Garrus feels bad when he heard that Yuto wasn't always ruthless before the Dimensional War and hopes to help move on as he himself also had the same problems until Shepard steps in to intervene.
** Ruri explores the subhouse of Nice and Nasty for more people to talk to. Aside from Sora, she finds good company in Ventus, Miku Kohinata and Yutaka Kobayakawa, among others. Of course, others like Jin Kisaragi, Masato Kusaka and Libby Chessler rubs her the wrong way. Jin [[Creator/TetsuyaKakihara sounds like Dennis]], who kidnapped her for the Professor, Kusaka's prejudice towards monsters regardless of alignment is too reminiscent of the Obelisk Force's bigotry towards Xyz Duelists and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Libby is just unlikable to be with]]. Jin and Kusaka had to be dragged away after being offended by her remarks while [[UnknownRival Libby is too busy tormenting Sabrina to even care about Ruri]].
*** On Miku's recommendation, Ruri meets Noel Vermillion. They get along quite well, with Noel reminding Ruri of Sayaka with their similar shy and unconfident demeanors and Noel finding Ruri another pleasant friend to talk to. Noel even offers to teach her how to shoot along her own mentor, [[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Coyote Starrk]], which Ruri says she will consider it soon.
** Finds Altaria to be absolutely adorable [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2418599 even hugging the Pokemon once]], because it reminds her of her Lyrical Lusciniae. Rise Kujikawa decided to befriend her as well since she is Altaria's Pokemon partner, even letting her in on flights and inviting her to singing sessions, which is funny since Ruri's seiyuu is also a singer.
* Exclusive to the Synchro Counterparts:
** Yugo doesn't like being called [[PunnyName Fusion]] nor [[AccidentalMisnaming Pawn of Fusion]] as he doesn't like people getting his name wrong. Salamandinay sympathized with him as she hates it when people don't know how to pronounce her name. Yugo also finds it cool that she is part dragon, reminding him of Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, his ace card which flatters Sala.
** Yugo also met Yosuke Hanamura as they find common ground in [[BlowYouAway windy motifs]], [[ButtMonkey constant unluckiness]] and [[ChivalrousPervert being a little juvenile when it comes to the ladies]]. Yosuke is so glad he found kinship with someone as unfortunate as him while Yugo is glad he is being taken seriously for once. You will find them being on the receiving end of many gods' attacks and jokes most of the time and [[RedOniBlueOni Yosuke's sanity perfectly contrasts with Yugo's idiotic tendencies]].
** Besides Yosuke, there are also other {{Butt Monkey}}s that he befriended and sympathized like Axel, Almaz and Satania. Together, they try to find ways for people to take them seriously, with variable and hilarious results.
** Has gotten along with both Beats. The one from TWEWY finds kinship with him since they don't use their heads often and the one from JSR sympathize with his impoverished background. Since then, he hangs out with them separately; although Rin has concerns they will be bad influences, she let it slide since Yugo is having fun with other people.
** Rin hears that there are other {{Wrench Wench}}es and decided to pay them a visit. Winry Rockbell and Gadget Hackwrench are worth the visit as they exchange ideas and give tips on mechanics and machinery. Winry sympathizes with Rin much more because they both have been through war although with very different experiences and decided to be her listening ear whenever the rest of the counterparts are unavailable. As for Tabane Shinonono, well... on one hand, she made some pretty awesome stuff like {{Powered Armor}}s and their cores, but on the other, she is [[BunnyEarsLawyer rather eccentric for such a competent genius]]. Nevertheless, Rin feels it doesn't hurt to humor her, since she has experience with keeping Yugo behaving.
** Rin is noted to have a distinguishable {{Idiot Hair}}. [[https://safebooru.donmai.us/posts/2166128 It may or may not be living.]] Yugo tries to tell everyone about this, but nobody believes him. On that note, Rin gets along with Nyarko, the patron saint of such. Rin likes her, though she feels Nyarko should tone down her energy every once in a while and stop giving relationship advice on her and Yugo.
** As Rin's Wind Witches have ice powers, she got along with most ice users including but not limited to Ashe, Anivia, Asuka Hiiragi and Rion Kugayama. Rin is afraid that Ashe will get very chilly though Ashe assures her that she's very used to it and Rion's energy reminds her of Yugo, although she would really like it if [[TheTease Rion would stop teasing her about her relationship with Yugo]].
** One day, Rin was accused of saying mean things to a number of deities. She had no recollection of doing so until she heard of the recently ascended Malty S. Melromarc who used [[Creator/SarahEmiBridcutt their shared voice]] to paint Rin in a bad light. After a fight ensuing between them with Rin barely able to win, Malty retreats while knowing the girl she impersonated is in misery; luckily for Rin, her friends are able to help clear up the confusions gradually.
* Exclusive to the Fusion Counterparts:
** Yuri decided to meet up with the Itazura Griefers after their recent prank on the Trollkaiger reminds him of his playful attitude towards his opponents. Vector is [[SoProudOfYou proud of his successor]] and invites him and Sora for ice cream and planning some pranks anytime. Adachi finds his insane attitude admirable and Takano and Monaca gets along with him [[spoiler:for halting their evil behaviours in the end]]. Lambdadelta is a bit ambivalent on Yuri; carding people may sound funny, but it also causes despair in the Dimensional War, which she doesn't like one bit. Seija offers him a position as Itazura Violet, which Yuri will consider in the future.
** Yuri also takes his time to visit the sub-house of Plants. Finds kinships in Durathror and Poison Ivy and befriended Audrey II and Petey Piranha for his Predaplant deck, though Yuri finds Petey rather annoying and stupid at times. He and Gourgeist are like [[CommonalityConnection peas in a pod]] and team up to screw with whoever they like, causing Trevenant to oppose him. Besides Trevenant, Kurama, the Heartcatch Pretty Cures (their problem also lies within the fact that he shares his name with one of their own), Shaymin and Treebeard expressed their enmity towards him for giving plants a bad reputation, and Aki volunteered to watch his behaviour out of a favour from Rin. Yuri [[EvenEvilHasStandards has standards, believe it or not]] as Mordremoth and Exdeath gives him the creeps, Mordremoth especially being a living {{Hungry Jungle}} and an evil dragon, essentially making Starve Venom look tamer in comparison.
*** Out of all the residents there, he gets along with Flowey the best. Not only are they near irredeemable villains, but they also [[spoiler:turn good at the end of their stories]]. This friendship also extends to [[spoiler:his confidants, Frisk, Sans, (INH) and Monika. It also helps that Vector and Monaca are there]]. Sans will make sure these two will not step out of line once again.
** Has been confused for the Literature Club's own Yuri several times. The latter thinks he is so crazy to the point that he makes Monika seem tame. The rest of the club agrees with her and take every step to stay away from the Fusion Duelist, who finds them not worth his time anyway. [[spoiler:Though due to being Flowey's confidants together and that he's not evil anymore, Monika gives him some leeway.]] As for the dictating Yuri, the Fusion Duelist finds him unpleasant; sure he likes his vileness and tenacity to hurt others but his dictator-like methods remind him a bit of Professor Akaba and methods of psychic mind control reminds him of Academia's Herr Doktor, a person he'd rather not see. The psychic Yuri meanwhile sees value in the Fusion Duelist's prowess and hopes to effectively have him under control for his agenda of domination.
** Serena had a run-in with Daidouji one day. Due to their usual attitudes, they got off on the wrong foot and a fight commences. It ended in a draw, but Daidouji finds Serena not so different from her and a WorthyOpponent to fight, while Serena finds Daidouji rather tame compared to her appearance. They both decided to keep in touch after that.
** Other tomboyish girls Serena befriended are Maki Genryusai and Cana Alberona. Serena is a bit jealous of Cana for having a better relationship with her father unlike her own with Professor Leo Akaba, who acted distant to her and his despondency is the reason why she follows his orders; to gain his approval. The Card Mage is glad she outgrew this behaviour over time and even almost offered her a bottle of beer but Serena turned her down due to being underaged. As for Maki, she likes Serena for her feistiness and would have invited her in to her gang if she had the chance but those days are over for her; even if she have no desire to join a bosozoku, Serena still appreciates her time sparring with Maki regardless.
** Her Lunalight deck pays {{Homage}} to Sailor Moon and sure enough, Serena gets to meet the heroine herself. Usagi at first comes across as ditzy and childish but later on, she showed Serena that she earned her top position, thus also earning her respect. Since the Lunalights also has {{Cat Girl}}s, Serena also befriended Ichigo Momomiya AKA Mew Ichigo and Blake Belladonna. Serena even offered to beat up Adam Taurus for them, which flatters Ichigo yet [[EveryoneHasStandards she thinks it's a bit overboard]] while Blake says that if Adam needs a beatdown, Serena won't be alone for that.
** Due to her deck archetype, she gets along well with Tyrande Whisperwind and Yuri Tsukikage AKA Cure Moonlight for drawing their power from the Moon and finds Lunatone to be interesting. Serena tells Cure Moonlight that the Fusion Dimension's Yuri will be handled carefully, which Moonlight agrees to count on her. The same cannot be said for David Zappa, who gives moons a bad name and Diana, who means well, yet ended up coming across as nuts. David thinks Serena is not worth his time while Diana tries to "[[DeadlyEuphemism persuade]]" her to see her perspective, which doesn't work.
** One day when wandering around the House of Pantheon/{{Weapons}}' archery range, Serena happened to saw two women with one of them looking cat-like practising their archery skills; she approached them asking about the cat-like woman's appearance which right away, rubs her the wrong way. The other woman managed to break off the tension before it gets worse and convinced them to introduce themselves to compensate; after Serena introduced herself the two women did the same, revealing themselves to be Atalante and Artemis.
*** Atalante answers Serena's question regarding her cat-like appearance: it symbolises her punishment of turning into a lion for fornicating with Hippomenes in one of Zeus' temples which the former she admitted to not regretting, something that dismayed Artemis since hunters under her were supposed to be chaste and baffled Serena when she first heard it. Regardless, due to Artemis' association with the moon and Atalante's Servant appearance, Serena decides to take up archery under them in case her dueling is either unavailable or unusable.

* Respected by: The Hall of Pantheon/InvestigativeWork
* Conflicting Opinion: The Halls of {{Pantheon/Heirs}} & [[{{Pantheon/ImpostorsAndImpersonations}} Impostors And Impersonations]]
* Ange le Carré & Princess Charlotte- one of them is a pickpocket-turned-royalty, and the other is royalty-turned-pickpocket, and who is who is always a 50/50. Their nearly-matching looks extend far down to their childhood, and while that may not be as much of a factor now, they've learned, as spies, to disguise for many scenarios- especially when they need to masquerade as the other. Their constant swapping will have most confused at first, even those close to them in terms of relationship, and they'd rarely slip up in acting as the other. Their bond is strong, and so is their ability to be the other- among other factors- that made them some of the best spies in the Commonwealth of Albion.
* Their ascension was rather interesting; as the heralds of Carmen & Juni Cortez, Team White Pidgeon spent much of their visiting time in the Pantheon surveying everyone and everything. They slowly gathered intel of the many deities across the Pantheon through all sorts of methods, honing their skills and talents while staying under the radar. And for a good amount of time, nobody really seemed to care- that is, until Ange was caught in a restricted area in the House of {{Pantheon/Knowledge}}, perusing some pretty scandalous facts about some of the more questionable deities. However, when her trial in the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods was finally held, it went along rather swimmingly, that is, until just ''after'' the end of the trial, when [[Pantheon/LawAndJustice Eiki Shiki]] was just leaving the Court, she spotted Princess & Ange...talking about how they narrowly got away with that switch. Loose lips sink ships, and that resulted in a retrial, where Princess was rightfully deemed guilty for invasion of privacy, and Ange for perjury. However, Eiki decided to be nice about it all, and instead of punishing them, the judge decided that an ascension is in order, as their swap had fooled pretty much everyone, and going over the duo's history, she settled on ascending them under the IdenticalStranger trope.
** While they aren't necessarily approving of their methods at first, the Spy Kids were more than happy to learn that their Heralds (or at least some of them) had finally made the jump to ascend as well. These feelings were reciprocated by the duo, who were glad to finally be on equal standing with the Cortez family after quite a while. They've now begun collaborating on some, albeit, minor but unique, espionage projects together, as a way for Ange & Princess to get a better view of the intricacies and members of the Pantheon.
* Many are quite confused at first as to why Ange & Princess were ascended under their trope, so the duo asked anyone curious to meet up with them at the House of {{Pantheon/Costumes}} one time. When most of the Hall of Investigative Work arrived, they set up a little game- both of them would dress up and masquerade in the House's ''Vêtements Palace Illimité'', and Ange would be carrying with her a gold card; whoever would find Ange, wins. After some time idly waiting, the duo exited the changing rooms and counted to 60 before the participants went after them, resulting in a frantic and tense game of cat-and-mouse across the department store. When Princess, disguised as Ange, was finally cornered by James Bond & Solid Snake, it is revealed to the two master agents that she wasn't Ange. As for Ange, as Princess, she was basically out of sight for the whole game, only revealing herself after a ''full hour'' of searching, with many coming to ask her for "Ange's" whereabouts. Needless to say, when the duo took off their wigs and Ange flashed the card, they were all in disbelief, and word of this spread quickly.
* The Hall of Heirs are rather perplexed at the duo. To be more specific, it comes down to the fact that one of them is the actual heir to their kingdom (though she is not exactly first in line) but doesn't want to take the throne, while the other is one who grew up in poverty but constantly seeks it anyway. Add to this conundrum that one may be the other at any given moment, and you have a headscratcher that has kept this whole Hall guessing.
* The Hall of Impostors and Impersonators, to put it lightly, are just ''bamboozled''. Despite being an infamous Hall in the Pantheon for stealing identities and perfecting the art of impersonation, even they couldn't tell if Ange or Princess is one or the other when either person (or both) enters. This has put the duo on quite the spotlight, as one day, they could be having a very tense time with Doctor Doom over tea, and the next, rumors would spread that they had located where Justin Pin is and are in contact with him.
* [[{{PrinceAndPauper}} Switching with royalty]] is like clockwork for the duo, having been in each other's shoes for quite a while, so getting used to each other's lives has been nothing short of interesting for them. Dawn once also did this switch with someone named Princess Salvia, who wanted to partake in a Pokémon Contest with her Togekiss, so they agreed to be in each other's shoes for the day. However, they almost immediately deduced this as something [[{{Literature/ThePrinceAndThePauper}} Tom and Edward]] would be more affinized with, but they still respected Dawn's effort at keeping up her masquerade.
* [[AppliedPhlebotinum Cavorite]] had been a very important part of Ange & Charlotte's world and its development; the gravity-defying mineral allowed the rise of inventions like the airship and the C-ball, the latter of which Ange personally owns one of. H.G. Wells, the author for ''Literature/TheFirstMenInTheMoon'', was surprised to learn that the duo had possession of such an object, and that they had hailed from a {{Steampunk}} world where it is in abundance and in practical use. In a mailed request, the duo took him on a tour through Albion to learn how Cavorite operated in their world, and the effects it had on its people and the world's progress; needless to say, he was more than impressed.
--> '''Wells''': To think that a world I have yet to hear of feels so much like one of my own...it truly amazes me, deeply. I give you my thanks, ladies.
* When Griffith heard that Princess ascended, he assumed it would be ''his'' Princess Charlotte, and rushed to locate the duo. While he was rather disappointed at first by who actually ascended, he did take a liking to Princess, which, given [[MoralEventHorizon who he is and what he's done]], she was rightfully unnerved. This made Ange incredibly angry at the deity, for even considering Princess as his own, and won't hesitate to put a bullet between his eyes. The duo have begun looking into ways into tearing down his [[VillainWithGoodPublicity good standing]] among other things in order for him to lose interest in them, and Princess especially.
* The following apply to Ange specifically:
** Ange is surprised to learn that there's another Ange in the Pantheon...who happens to be a former princess...who had her life turned upside down on a very impactful day...who then turned to a life of hardship and became a badass hardass, developing techniques in order to simply live...woah. They both even have a friend in the Pantheon named Charlotte! (Granted, The blonde Ange's Charlotte is not from the same world as she is, compared to the grey-haired one's) At that point, something had to happen, but instead, they both more than understood their respective situations and upbringings, and came to be friends over those many similarities. When seen together, the grey-haired Ange usually asks to be called by one of her aliases, Chloe or Alice, to avoid confusion.
** If Ange is one thing, she is incredibly smart and attentive to detail, so much so that it's almost frightening. When she crossed paths with Sherlock Holmes one afternoon, a simple bit of exchanged glances between the duo had given them ample time to basically know everything they've done that day, up to that point. What Ange ''did not'' expect, however, was that Holmes would greet her as [[spoiler:Princess Charlotte, her actual identity]], and nearly resulted in the young spy drawing her revolver against the world-renowned detective. Since then, Ange has calmed down and became friends with him, sometimes tagging along (and usually in disguise) with Holmes and his own assistant, Watson.
** [[KillAndReplace Operation: Changeling]] was a plan originally proposed by Ange to [[TheHandler Control]], meant at face value to eliminate Princess and take hold of the Commonwealth's crown[[spoiler:, but was actually a coy so that Ange, who is actually Princess Charlotte herself, regain the crown and move to make the Commonwealth a better place]]. Daji, a master at impersonating dead people, is secretly trying to get Ange to pull through with this operation, however, given that Ange can act as Princess very, very well. Ange vehemently denies any advance the demon makes, however, as that would completely go against what the duo had been building up to ever since their separation.
* The following apply to Princess specifically:
** Despite being a member of royalty, Princess has more than her fair share of getting down and dirty if the situation calls for it, employing ruthlessness in her attitude and ''maybe'' abusing her status as royalty to get her other teammates into locations they normally cannot. Her sharp wit and quick cunning being well hidden behind her façade has earned her a kindred spirit with Lacus Clyne, a fellow princess with badassery underneath. They do tend to disagree on a few things- Princess isn't above using underhanded tactics and violence when it is really necessary, whilst Clyne is more of a pacifist and would like to solve problems without making more of them down the line.
** [[spoiler:Armed with ThePromise that she would change the world into a happy one, one the real Princess wished for,]] Princess works tirelessly within the confines of her royal status to upend it and make the world a better place. This sentiment was shared with Rise Rousenin, who also wanted change, in the form of turning her school into a co-ed school in order for it to continue prospering. However, both were very much mixed in each other's views- Princess believes that Rise hadn't expanded her scope wide enough as she thinks there's other factors beyond it itself causing its downfall, whereas Rise criticizes Princess for taking her plans for reformation too far and deep, resorting to nearly cruel and very harsh tactics. Aside from these debates, however, they seem to be amicable enough as friends.
** One day, on the way to their temple from exploring the many stores in the House of Costumes, Princess found herself face-to-face with Ange…who she thought was investigating a matter with Holmes and Watson that day. “Ange” explained that the case was wrapped up early, and with Princess always placing trust in Ange, she followed her…into the Hall of {{Pantheon/BodilyForm}}, where “Ange” proceeded to transform into Queen Chrysalis, and more than ready to feed off the love Princess gives off for Ange. Thankfully, [[TruthInHindsight there was truth in Chrysalis-Ange’s previous statement]], as the master spy suddenly leaped out of nowhere alongside the rest of Team White Pidgeon and an esper named Sumireko Usami to drive away the alicorn and save Princess. Since then, the spy group and Princess in particular share a very specific kind of hatred for the alicorn, one that Chrysalis only scoffs at, not giving a care.
