* ''Who is Johan Liebert?'' [[AxCrazy A murderer]] [[TheCorrupter who delights in corrupting others?]] A DeathSeeker [[OmnicidalManiac who wants to drag the entire world down with him?]] [[AmbiguouslyHuman The Antichrist given human form?]] [[TragicVillain A drifting soul who found company only in darkness and solitude?]] Many have tried to answer this question, and some have died trying. Whatever the case, this mysterious, seemingly perfect young prodigy is at his very core nothing more than pure evil. Johan is often called the '''[[TitleDrop Monster]]'''; this is testament to his virtually superhuman skill to intimidate, manipulate and annihilate. It is believed that all who look upon his visage will be driven insane or brutally murdered. God help whoever attracts so much as a second of his attention, because he will find out who you are, he will hunt you down, and he will ''[[BreakingSpeech break you]]''.
** Born to Viera Černá in 1975 as part of a eugenics experiment, Johan (not his real name) and his twin sister (later named Anna) fled their handlers into UsefulNotes/EastGermany. Both were then separated, with Johan being sent to Kinderheim 511, [[OrphanageOfFear a hellish orphanage]] tailored to turn children into perfect soldiers. Growing bored of the orphanage, Johan instigated a massacre that killed nearly all of its children and staff. The twins were subsequently adopted by East German foreign trade adviser Michael Liebert and his wife who soon fled to the West.
** A secret visit from his former handler caused Johan to kill his foster parents, being found by the police with a [[BoomHeadshot gunshot to the head]] from his sister. The wounded Johan was operated on by his future ArchEnemy: neurosurgeon Kenzo Tenma at the expense of the latter's career. Johan "repaid" this favour, acting on Tenma's rant by his hospital bed [[IWishedYouWereDead about wanting those responsible for his fall dead]], by killing those responsible for Tenma's demotion[[labelnote:*]]namely hospital director Udo Heinemann, chief of surgery Dr. Oppenheim and rival doctor Boyer[[/labelnote]], disappearing shortly after. After sending Anna to another foster family, Johan began hiring serial killers to murder their many former foster parents, amassed a fortune from an underground bank and gained a cadre of followers, including a neo-Nazi society determined to make him the next Hitler.
** Crossing paths with his saviour once more whilst killing one of his now-useless pawns, Tenma was framed for Johan's many crimes ([[{{Unperson}} as nearly all traces of Johan's identity were wiped from existence]]). On the run and filled with guilt over saving a psychopath, Tenma set out to eliminate his former patient for good. The quest ended in the town of Ruhenheim, Germany, where Johan was shot in the head by an [[AlcoholicDad abusive, delusional drunkard]]. True to his pure-heartedness, Tenma operated on Johan, saving his life yet again. At present, Johan is comatose in a state police hospital, and has remained that way for a decade. It seems, however, that the Pantheon has other plans for him...
* Johan made his first known appearance in the Pantheon after a sudden series of [[MurderSuicide murder-suicides]] in the House of Pantheon/{{Family}}, having taken advantage the mass emigrations to the Pantheon in its early years to enter incognito. Originally ascended as the God of MindRape, Johan relinquished the title to the being that invented the term, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Arael]]. He received the new trope MoreThanMindControl in its place, since he's able to manipulate people into depravity not with power, just words. Even after being officially identified, Johan evaded capture for a long time, never staying in one place for long despite temples being allocated for him, all the while feeding crisis after crisis, corrupting the volatile and destroying lives by proxy, all under aliases and the assistance of more powerful deities unknowingly hoodwinked by him.
** Despite the above, Johan no longer has the protection of total anonymity; conversely, he has a reputation far and wide for being one of the most cruel, calculating and intelligent humans in fiction. Most records of him in the Pantheon can't be wiped or altered, and most deities he would ordinarily manipulate to purge this information are too powerful for him to kill and [[ImmuneToMindControl too mentally durable to manipulate]]. As such, after Kenzo Tenma's ascension, Johan retreated to rethink his plans and account for new developments, still seeking to break Tenma's faith in humanity for his own satisfaction.
** His twin sister Anna Liebert (now going by 'Nina Fortner') was brought in as his herald (shared with Tenma) to keep him at bay. [[MoralityPet The only human being in existence Johan shows a sensitive side to]], Nina is also the only person besides Tenma who can protect others from him. [[SubvertedTrope Johan is not above mind-raping her]] but try as he might, [[{{Forgiveness}} Nina will always forgive her brother for his many atrocities even if they were the last humans on Earth]]. As her sister, she's the only one who shares the same past as Johan. If anyone can understand him, it's her. In the Pantheon, she works as a part-time lawyer for the poor.
* After a long period off the grid with Tenma's arrival in the Pantheon, Johan made his first public appearance as one of the Four Horsemen, the top cabal of the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil. It is speculated that Melkor handpicked Johan over more powerful candidates because he requires the aid of a normal human[[labelnote:*]]Johan could hardly be called ''normal'', but he's decidedly the most ordinary of Melkor's top advisors.[[/labelnote]] to view things from their wretched perspective. Bafflingly, Johan ''is not plotting'' [[TheStarscream to overthrow Melkor]] like everybody else, as he correctly surmises that taking the top spot would mean unnecessarily grappling with other powerhouses in the ranks ({{Eldritch Abomination}}s, {{Physical God}}s, {{Reality Warper}}s, etc.) for control of the Alliance, which he has no defence for. Regardless, he's proven an excellent mediator of the violent inter-villain squabbling, largely through a combination of his charisma, [[TheDreaded reputation]], blackmail, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] and a bit of luck.
** As Melkor's top intelligence advisor, Johan has gained a reputation as the Dark Lord's "[[TheFixer fixer]]", handling murky dealings with two-bit criminals, serial killers, mortal crime families, and less important criminal organizations. Not only has this gained Johan a web of allies from all corners of the Pantheon, and secrets few others know of, it has also earned him the respect of lower-tier villains who see him as a beacon of hope that they will not be abandoned by the GUAE once their ultimate plans of conquest ([[TheBadGuyWins read: divvying up the Omniverse among their elite members once they win]]) get underway. Melkor's political czar Frank Underwood admits to being intimidated by him in his many fourth-wall breaking monologues, saying "a normal person who seeks gratification in destroying not only others but himself" is both reprehensible and frightening.
* That's not to say that Johan is blindly loyal to Melkor's ideals: far from it. Now that he has access to all corners of fictional creation, Johan sees it as an elaborate chessboard where he can move the infinitesimal number of pieces to his liking. Together with the Joker, he formed the Pantheon/GUAELiebertarianMovement[[labelnote:*]]he didn't pick the name, Joker did[[/labelnote]], a think-tank preaching the spread of eternal suffering and despair in all worlds rather than conquering them (the GUAE's main goal), "[[{{Pun}} Lieberty]]" if you will. Johan's circle is behind many successful projects that have hit the Pantheon/{{GUAG}} where it hurts. Their ideology however is unpopular with the leadership, especially among the LawfulEvil villains and those who stand to lose from the emotional destruction rather than conquest of the fictional Omniverse.
* Many {{Torture Technician}}s and master psychos like Hannibal Lecter and Vaas Montenegro find Johan pleasing company indeed, and someone who will cater to them by instantly finding perfect outlets for their self-gratification.
* Not that Johan is bitter about it. He's rather impressed by the torture Arael inflicted upon [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Asuka]] and its love of [[DarkAndTroubledPast bringing back]] [[AndIMustScream painful]] [[AFateWorseThanDeath memories]] on its victims... That is until it was discovered that Arael [[BlueAndOrangeMorality didn't have any malicious intent behind its actions]]. And worse, it mind raped Johan before leaving the GUAE. The jury is out on if Johan is actually bitter now, but those who know him say that he is.
** Is [[AmbiguousSituation best friends(?)]] with the Joker, playing the StraightMan to his AxCrazy. Villains and heroes alike call Johan "the Joker of Anime and Manga" and it's not hard to see why, given his compulsion to commit murder and corrupt the innocent on a whim. While the Joker is more likely to blow up a hospital for personal amusement, Johan either does so to achieve a specific goal or because it's all he knows how to do. One could flip a coin to decide whether they like or hate each other on any given day: either Joker's holding a gun to Johan's head while the latter is silently goading him to do it, or the two are playing cards like old friends while plotting their next kill.
** Nazis borderline worship Johan. A Neo-Nazi movement tried recruiting him as Germany's next Führer, [[EvilIsNotAToy and got wiped out for their troubles]]. This hasn't stopped other Nazi organizations from trying to gain his support because his East German-sponsored military background and one-of-a-kind childhood makes him a worthy successor to Hitler's mantle. Red Skull of HYDRA and the Major of Millennium are only the Nazis who joined the Liebertarian Movement, so many more at least appear to rally behind Johan's ideology. The Major in particular ''revels'' in Johan's wish to end the world with himself as the last living being before committing suicide, because that goal could very easily include the [[ForeverWar destructive, near-endless war]] that he so craves.
*** [[Pantheon/EstablishmentsAndInstallations Baron von Strucker even helped re-establish Kinderheim 511]] to create more people like Johan. Johan is less than pleased with this but for pragmatism's sake does nothing for the time being.
** As leader of the Movement, Johan excels in bringing out the best in its members, including the mercenary team Wild Hunt, and {{Enfante Terrible}}s Hänsel and Gretel. The twins trust Johan as a father figure since they share the passion of destroying human life and [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8ar0zCDMK1qlxpopo1_1280.png disturbingly convincing cross-dressing]]. Originally hired to kill him, they quickly abandoned the idea when he accurately guessed which of them was male and female, instead killing their employer. On the other hand, the Diclonius Lucy is a very conflicted WildCard in the ranks depending on which persona she is in, with the 'Lucy/Kaede' faithfully serving Johan when she is needed and 'Nyu' actively trying to run away from him. It is rumoured that the DNA Voice inside Lucy's head is actually Johan taking in the form of a naked girl wrapped in bandages commanding her and the Diclonius to kill humanity.
* [[green:(modus operandi, why Johan is the truest example of Chaotic Evil)]]
** Then there was that time that Walter came across Johan Liebert while he was walking from the House of Sports after night out of bowling with the Dude. Continuing in his quest to erase all traces of his existance, Johan attempted to manipulate Walter in killing a certain Kenzo Tenma. Unfortunately for Johan, Walter, who had mistaken Johan for one of the German nihilistic delinquents that had accosted him back in his world and caused Donny's heart attack, wordlessly threw his bowling ball at Johan's chest, incapacitating Johan almost instantaneously, and then proceeded to bite Johan's ear off. Furious at the beatdown that he had suffered at Walter's hands, Johan has since been plotting an especially gruesome death that he has reserved for Walter.
* Quite possibly one of the richest (ordinary, unaltered) men in the Pantheon, amassing trillions of dollars through underground banks, paying criminals and mob bosses, divesting money-loving Pantheon moguls to torture them and of course, his handsome pay as a member of Melkor's Four Horsemen. Johan being Johan rarely throws his fortune around in obvious ways, instead choosing to invest in profitable ventures he believes will lead to "the betterment of humanity as he sees fit", including several unpopular Pantheon/{{GUAE}} projects which he has singlehandedly funded for his own insidious purposes. He also has a thing for buying up abandoned buildings in the Pantheon where bodies mysteriously turn up. [[SarcasmMode Nobody knows why. Nobody]].
* [[green:(Johan's weakness)]] I think he would exercise caution with them, considering that plenty of them dwarf him in terms of power and some wouldn't give him a chance to talk to them, they'd rather just try to kill him for bothering them if it's something they'd do. For all his MindRape powers, there is a reason that people still say there's AlwaysABiggerFish; after a attempt of using his powers to break Erma into despair with help from the Joker and Alex Mercer while using the GUAD's base for operation, [[MamaBear Alma, who has taken a liking to her]], barged into the alliance's stronghold, undid the changes and sent everyone into the Almaverse. [[NoodleIncident That's all the information he's willing to delve into]], and just by seeing a picture of either of the two ghost girls [[VillainousBreakdown tends to lead him into having a mental breakdown]]. [[LaserGuidedKarma Poetic, isn't it]]?
* [[green:(insert other villain interactions here)]] Malty S Melromarc is another sociopath who manipulates and ruins lives, but unlike Johan is not competent and lucky enough to weasel herself out of trouble. Dahlia Hawthorne is another manipulative sociopath who delights in ruining lives. even death couldn't stop her from trying to spite others. SCP-3000 is another being adept in MindRape, where being in close proximity to it can fuck up your memories and shatter your mind. Tomie Kawakami is another seemingly pleasant person who delights in ruining lives, she does so by luring and seducing men with her inhuman beauty and corrupting them. Something about Room 101; a room that mentally shatters people until they learn to love Big Brother (Winston, Julia, O'Brien)
** Thinks Light Yagami is nothing more than a third-rate genius who got too hasty [[AGodAmI playing god with forces he didn't understand]]. It doesn't help that they both sit directly across from each other at sessions of the Council of Shadows, which gives Johan plenty of time to give the young god-to-be a dose of "helpful" tips on how to use the Death Note. Light shrugs off his advice but secretly listens.
** Has a "we-don't-know-exactly-what" relationship with the uber-SlasherMovie killer, Michael Myers. Johan always points Michael in the direction of areas with convenient victims to kill, and in return provides the Shape with food and shelter so he can keep killing, true to his preference to sow chaos via proxy. Survivors among Johan's pawns who've seen the two together report an air of solemnness to Michael's movements around Johan, akin to a predator circling an enemy he can't kill. Michael's former psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis likens Johan to what Michael would be if he could talk and speak normally, living proof of why he is so [[ProperlyParanoid paranoid]] about the Boogeyman.
** Michael Myers is one of the very few individuals in the Pantheon to earn Johan's respect and even if this feeling is very difficult, if not, impossible to reciprocate due to Michael's otherworldly and uncontrollable nature, it does nothing to change Joan's perspective. The fact that Myers is additionally one of the very few to be ''completely immune'' to Johan's corruptive words adds another layer of admiration towards him as it convinces Johan that despite their totally different appearances in an exterior sense, they share a deep similarity in that they are unfettered, committed and revel in chaos, destruction, and discord under their own volition and for their own satisfaction. Their moral similarities have been noted by many, especially by survivors like Laurie Strode, who has been deathly afraid of Johan ever since she came to learn about him, and Doctor Loomis was aghast by the endless depravity and remorselessness that Johan is capable of, [[NotSoDifferentRemark clearly highlighting just how much he and Myers are morally in synch with one another]] and vowing to put an end to their madness one day.
--> '''Loomis:''' See? This unassuming man singlehandedly brought about a wave of murders and suicides, violent fascist movements worshipping him, and ruined whole societies in his wake, from a combination of charisma and [[HumansAreBastards man's proclivity to corruption and violence]]! '''This''' is what happens if you give pure evil an education and let it fester! The darkness in his eyes is the same as Michael's! There must be no mercy for them. They both must be put down, like the monsters that they are.
** Also, maybe an interaction with Lt. Colonel Arnold Berkman, perhaps? I'd definitely see Berkman, in all his selfish curiosity, take an interest in seeing what Liebert can do. It also helps that Berkman had also dealt with someone similarly Chaotic Evil as an ally, in this case Sophie.
** Even the aforementioned non-human villains find Johan endearing or at least a deeply alluring subject. Damien Thorn takes interest in how Johan is often compared to the AntiChrist (usually by the delusional, unstable or drunk) whereas he actually is one, but Johan personally sees Damien as a 'false god' to be disposed of[[labelnote:*]]whether Johan has religious beliefs or believes in (a) God's existence is anyone's guess[[/labelnote]]. ''Persona's'' Nyarlathotep is fascinated by how Johan's evil engenders unnatural reverence in all who meet him and stages bets with him regularly on minutae of the ForeverWar, like who the next one to fall to despair will be. Even Tzeentch prefers to not meddle in Johan's plans sometimes so he can "watch the inferno he sparks without knowing the outcome".
** [[green:Death Phantom]] For Johan Liebert, Wiseman[=/=]Death Phantom is another totally monstrous villain with ridiculous Mind Manipulation abilities.
** [[green:Yapool]] Yapool is a hive-mind like being whose goal is to spread despair and misery via manipulation, destruction and chaos. Liebert might see him as an ally or good company and Yapool would probably enjoy his cruelty, even if Yapool would just view him as a temporary ally.
** [[green:Littlefinger]] Would Johan and Petyr Baelish get along? Both are master manipulators.
* [[green:(insert hero interactions here)]]I wonder if he'd also be frustrated/baffled by other Cloudcuckoolanders like Luna Lovegood, Mako Mankanshoku, Rin Tezuka, Taokaka, and Kilian Experience. As for {{Hope Bringer}}s, Madoka Kaname and Makoto Naegi immediately come to mind.
** [[green:Tatsumi, Akame ga Kill text]]
** [[green:John Donovan]] Regarding Liebert, maybe enemies with John Donovan? Donovan has dealt with some equally vile organized criminals, and while the CIA agent himself is no saint, he has made it a point to help Lincoln Clay take down a lot of scum similar to Liebert. Mainly Klan members and even some serial killers working as Psychos for Hire under the Mob. I also expect Donovan to create a profile on Liebert. Photographs, intel, recordings, and all.
** [[green:Soviets]] Okay, after some reading, I think the Soviets would probably see Liebert as a threat. Given that many Neo-nazis idolized him. Still wouldn't stop Dragovich trying to "recruit" him into his circle of allies, given his alliance with Dr. Friedrich Steiner.
* [[green:Tenma]] Tenma still regards it as his mission to keep Johan's influence from spreading. This time though, not by killing him. Several counts of rape by the House of Pantheon/{{Emotion}} forced Tenma's hand as the perpetrator deliberately left symbols taunting others in the Pantheon known for [[SerialRapist serial rapings]], thereby riling them up and causing the issue to spread. Johan and Tenma finally faced each other in person in the gloom of a dark carpark as the [[Pantheon/{{Organizations}} TPPD]] pursued him. Tenma, about to admonish Johan for not respecting his third chance, froze as the Monster's [[DissonantSerenity eerily calm voice emanated]]. He disappeared in a flash of lightning, and as police came in, his words still rang in Tenma's mind:
--> '''Johan:''' ''Mata aimashita'', Doktor Tenma. Have you not realized that I do not seek a chance at life? I told you, that day in Ruhenheim, when you had your chance to get rid of your "Monster" for good? I seek death, either for me, or the billions around me. Where I go, I bring nothing but slaughter and devastation. That is the sole function that I walk this domain for. I now realize that I cannot make you understand. (''hint of a sneer'') We seem destined to do this forever. Or until one of us folds.
* One must remember that Johan, above all else, seeks emptiness. Whether that be through erasing all traces of his existence, killing or manipulating the unstable for seemingly no reason, or something else, '''nothing about him is absolute'''. And that is what makes him so terrifying.
* Also has a spot in the House of [[Pantheon/MindControl Mentalism]].
''“[[MotiveRant There’s nothing special about being born. Not a thing. Most of the universe is just death, nothing more. In this universe of ours, the birth of a new life on some corner of our planet is nothing but a tiny, insignificant flash. Death is a normal thing. So why live?]]”''

* Among the greatest trailblazers of the Universal Century, Earth Federation Forces officer Bright Noa rose from a lowly, [[EnsignNewbie cadet]] commanding a ragtag team of refugees to a war hero who mentored the era's best mobile suit pilots. Well-known for his [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan signature smack]], Bright made up for that embarrassment with a great deal of ingenuity and perseverance in the face of a corrupt military which sought to [[ReassignedToAntarctica sideline him]] at every turn. For all of his sacrifices, Bright was never truly rewarded for his service to the Earth Federation. By the end of his career, he was [[BrokenAce completely broken]] when his eldest son was executed (unknowingly by his orders) as a terrorist [[TheScapegoat and he was laden with the blame as pro forma]]. With his ascension, Bright Noa now has a chance to do a productive job that actually brings about lasting peace, and, in the eyes of many, receive some much-needed credit. Be it the ''White Base'', the ''Argama'', or the ''Ra Cailum'', one can be assured that with the Eternal Captain in command, the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood is safe under his watch.
** Having just recovered from severe depression following his son's execution, Bright received a mysterious package with [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/75/5f/0c/755f0c9bcfca141c9e410ad72888d28f.png the Seal of Cosmos on it]], signed by the Goddess of Harmony and Amuro Ray[[labelnote:''LAUNCH!!'']]Amuro ''intended'' to invite Bright in person, but feared the sudden appearance of a technically dead person in a public place with high surveillance would start a mass panic, and that an invitation Bright to meet him someplace else would be dismissed as a trap.[[/labelnote]]. Suspicious of the package's origins, Bright replied yes with a caveat: that further proof of the Pantheon's existence be beholden to him. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Cue being immediately yanked (read:teleported) to the Court of the Gods for ascension]], with Amuro present in his support. End of story, Bright got accepted, sent home to pack his things and talk the absurdity over with Mirai, and eventually ''did'' show up to the House of Pantheon/{{Emotion}} for duty, family in tow.
** Among his heralds are the aforementioned Mirai Yashima, his former deputy on the ''White Base'' who later became his wife and Cheimin Noa, his daughter. Bright famously keeps the names of his entourage under wraps, though some obvious names like Commander Meran (his [[NumberTwo deputy]]) come up. Mirai is nowadays a [[{{Housewife}} stay-at-home mom]], funded by her retirement pay from her days in the EFSF, but is well-liked in the area for hosting wonderful reunion parties for the crew of the ''White Base'' every half-year, if Amuro hasn't yet offered up his own temple for the occasion.

** [[green:Shinji Ikari, Gendo Ikari]]
* In contrast to his mortal life where he was sidelined for fear that he could use his influence with Newtype pilots (he mentored the primary Gundam pilots Amuro Ray, Kamille Bidan, Judau Ashta and in some capacity, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Banagher Links]]) [[MilitaryCoup to stage a coup]], Bright is lauded in the Pantheon for promoting equality between Earthnoids and Spacenoids in the Earth Federation, battling corruption in the civilian government and defeating not [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam one]], but ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ two]]'' Zeon remnants and surviving both resulting wars. Among the earlier high-ranking military officers to enter the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood, Bright's advice proved instrumental in the buildup of the mecha fighting forces of the GUAG. In spite of little experience with non-human species, Bright's exemplary treatment of aliens under his command became a model for xenophobic officers of the Alliance not on board with the new situation to follow.
** He was commissioned in the GUAG at his highest military rank of rear admiral and appointed commandant of the Alliance's Space Force Academy, tasked with supervising the initial intake of officer cadets into the GUAG Space Force. A greenhorn when it came to the quirkier aspects of the mecha genre, like the often ludicrous powers of [[SuperRobotGenre Super Robots]] and the romantic hijinks of the [[BattleHarem harem mecha subgenre]], Bright found new allies among the faculty, namely Chifuyu Orimura and Sänger Zonvolt. {{Ace Pilot}}s in their home universes, Chifuyu shares Bright's no-nonsense yet caring management style whereas Sänger shares Bright's strong sense of honour and principle. The trio worked effectively to educate young pilots until Bright's departure to lead forces in combat two years later[[labelnote:''LAUNCH!!'']]The Space Force Academy would eventually be divided into separate school, with Chifuyu and Sänger becoming commandant and deputy commandant of the Robot War Division Instructional Academy, the specialty institution for aspiring mecha pilots.[[/labelnote]].
** Bright's transfer to assume his old command of the 13th Autonomous Fleet (his old flagship, the ''Ra Cailum'' having been refurbished), resulted in contact with various heavyweights, including his most trusted battle buddy outside of his universe, Juzo Okita. The captain of the legendary [=BBY-01=] ''Yamato'', Okita first met Bright while in the throes of a relapse of Planet Bomb Syndrome. At a bedside meeting with Okita, Bright saved him from an attack by pirates on the ''Yamato's'' medical wing (the fleet not yet being in a fully secure formation). Ever since, the two have stayed close friends, and Bright even persuaded him to re-enter full active duty in the GUAG, promising him all the needed assistance for his illness. [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV In one of their many adventures together, they traded command ''twice'' based on mutual respect]].
** Okita pinned on Bright's new rank of vice admiral at his promotion ceremony alongside his wife Mirai. Bright was subsequently tasked with creating Task Force 79, a special-ops fleet meant as a test-run for GUAG intervention whenever Melkor's legions invaded other universes. The GUAE's overwhelming advantage in numbers (and a spy team sent to kill Bright) nearly doomed the idea, but the successful rout of a [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 Kraang fleet]] convinced Pantheon/GUAGCommand otherwise. In fact, the idea was so successful that all mecha forces were consolidated into the Pantheon/GUAGRobotWarDivision (RWD), with Bright as its first commander.
** A few years into the job, Bright received at his desk the shock of a lifetime, a personnel order promoting him to four-star admiral in gratitude for his contributions to mecha-based strategy in the Alliance. The promotion coincided with a deep reorganization of the RWD, with Bright being detailed to the Division's Space Force branch as their new commander, succeeding Okita. This also placed Bright as commander of the newly-formed GUAG Eighth Starfleet, the primary mecha-based space fleet of the Grand United Alliance of Good.
* Bright has formed strong working relationships with many heroic leaders in the Pantheon, bolstered by his reputation for hard, honest work, balance of idealism and pragmatism, ability to adapt to complex, changing situations (especially vital in the Pantheon) and most importantly, [[SternTeacher his ability to nurture young soldiers into exemplary adults]]. While few have a bad word to say about Bright's work ethic, many have issues with the way he conducts himself. Bright, still recovering from the ordeal with Hathaway, struggles to trust the unfamiliar denizens of the Pantheon. In comparison to the rampant corruption in the Universal Century, Bright contends with everyone from hardened, [[{{Dystopia}} dystopia born-and-bred]] {{Nominal Hero}}es and innocent, welcoming paragons of hope, so often that he finds it intensely aggravating to adjust his behaviour for every new deity he meets.
** [[green:Honor Harrington, fleet admiral, James T. Kirk]]
** While he's not above TrainingFromHell, Bright mixes this with caring and empathy and thus hates working with the man whose job it is to epitomize this in the Pantheon, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. To Bright, Hartman is exactly the sort of abusive NCO that the Earth Federation prized: a spewing, unempathetic, unrelenting torturer who exists to turn his recruits into [[SociopathicSoldier killers]], not to mention driving a mentally-trouble Private Pyle to MurderSuicide. Despite some respect for Bright's war record, Hartman is critical of his penchant for slapping unruly soldiers ([[HypocriticalHumor obvious hypocrisy]]) and berates his nominal senior often about being too ready for reconciliation with "the space fascists" of Zeon. Nowadays, Bright's gotten wise enough to dismissively respond ''"That'll do."'' to Hartman's tirades and provide Hartman's recruits some relief when he makes a visit to Hartman's barracks.
** [[green:Gandalf, Anavel Gato]]
** [[green:Star Wars, Gial Ackbar, General Organa]]
** [[green:Pantheon/RedVsBlue]]
** A few months before, he [[ContrivedCoincidence just happened to be passing that exact facility]] when Robot War Division commander Bright Noa was making a routine perimeter check, was present to see Gato steal the Physalis from its vault, again dealing heavy casualties. He became a friend of the Eternal Captain this way too while dealing with the fallout, though Bright's straight-laced attitude does not mesh well with his chummy, CoolOldGuy demeanour.
** Has plenty of contacts in the House of Pantheon/LuckAndFortune. The most prominent of these is President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a wartime leader who gave Bright a ShoutOut in one of his televised fireside chats, praising his involvement in the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Laplace Conflict]] and management of Londo Bell. Roosevelt and many other patriots in said house find it fortunate that he got embroiled in ''five'' wars in the span of twenty years due to pure dumb luck. What can he say? Trouble seems to find him.
--> '''FDR:''' These conflicts might have ended in utter catastrophe if not for your superb leadership and soldiers, [[RankUp Admiral]]. You're a patriot more loyal than even your own [[TheFederation government]]! Not to write them off, but [[UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower Eisenhower]], [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeSPatton Patton]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_W._Nimitz Nimitz]], [[UsefulNotes/DouglasMacarthur Macarthur]] - they can't hold a candle to you. If you were under my command I'd gladly give you a Medal of Honor right here and now!
* In contrast to Amuro and even Char, Bright has never gotten used to the idea of being [[MemeticMutation memed about]], made fun of and [[BaseBreakingCharacter harshly criticized]] in equal measure by fans who've experienced him as a fictional character, including those of the ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' universe. He gives the deities of such universes, at least informally[[labelnote:''LAUNCH!!'']]Of course, Bright ''has'' to work with them when mutual GUAG matters come up. He doesn't actively scorn Fumina Hoshino or Sei Iori when they [[TheGlomp swarm him]], but it's clear that he's very uncomfortable with it.[[/labelnote]], a wide berth since he finds their incessant gushing about his trademark slaps irritating and wildly inaccurate. For one, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58pNa3o6F60 his original slap]] of the still-immature Amuro didn't turn him into a so-called "[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory man of destiny]]"; that happened much later. That said, Bright doesn't mind the company of Tatsuya Yuuki, the third Meijin Kawaguchi and more respectful Gunpla devotee who advises him often on using the Plavsky Particle for training simulations. The two also agree that even the best Gunpla Builders in the Pantheon shouldn't be drafted into actual mobile suit combat under any circumstances.
** [[green:Patton]]
* Due to his grueling military life, not to mention being caught up in several high-profile conflicts, he has a tough relationship with his family. Unlike Bright, who chose to attempt reform from the inside, his eldest son Hathaway, haunted by his experiences during [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack the Second Neo Zeon War]] chose the darker path of a RebelLeader, launching terrorist attacks on the rich and powerful of the Earth Federation to force political change. Eventually earning a death by firing squad unknowingly signed off on by his own father, Bright has a great sympathy for parents who have fraught relationships with their children, especially such relationships with deadly consequences.
** [[green:For Bright Noa, concerning with troubling father-son relationships, maybe you can mention Han Solo and Kylo Ren?]]
* Not surprisingly, the honourable admiral has no shortage of enemies.
** [[green:enemies, political hacks]]
** [[green:Grand Admiral Thrawn, Abelt Dessler, Khan]]
** [[green:For Bright Noa, when it comes to military officers, he might want to be wary of General Zod, who is a stout believer of Might Makes Right and is quite the extremist when it comes to seeing Kryptonians as the Master Race, alongside being someone who tends to see non-Kryptonians as beneath him. On an additional note, his Post-Crisis version had a shitty relationship with his son, Lor-Zod (the latter is currently Superman's herald). Lastly, some versions of Zod, especially the Pocket Universe version, wanted to kill off Humanity just to assert superiority.]]
** [[green:Pretty sure he’d be against Gendo Ikari. But then again, SRW tells us that everyone eventually hates Gendo]]

* You may never see Ai Haibara outside her temple. For months, a shadowy organization has been seeking her death for betraying them and won't stop until they've eliminated her and all who know of their existence. Until that organization has been crushed under the boot of the law, she'll remain in her temple, researching and creating an antidote to the deadly poison she unwittingly created[[labelnote:*]]The appellations of 'Shiho Miyano' and 'Ai Haibara' will be used interchangeably depending on what form she is in in the text[[/labelnote]].
* Shiho Miyano took over her parents' secret project after [[BlatantLies they died in an accident]], receiving education in the United States, serving the Black Organization from the age of thrteen under the codename 'Sherry'. She was marked for elimination after her sister Akemi was murdered by Gin and she boycotted her research in retaliation. Attempting suicide, she swallowed a hidden APTX 4869 pill only for it to shrink her down into a six-year old girl, just like with Shinichi Kudo a while back. In her smaller body, she escaped and fled for Shinichi's house but collapsed outside the residence of his neighbour, Professor Hiroshi Agasa who took her in even after realizing who she was. Now under the name of Ai Haibara and wanting to stay that way, she seeks to pursue the ordinary life her sister managed to have, find a cure for APTX 4869 to return Conan to being Shinichi and eventually take down the Black Organization for good.
** Haibara's ascension was shrouded in absolute secrecy as she was suspicious that the invitations to the Pantheon were a trap by the Organization. At Conan's insistence (he had been ascended a while back), she wrote back with a tentative 'yes' and the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases embraced her with open arms. For a long time, she was in a place where she didn't need to look over her shoulder for the possible Organization member aiming a gun at her. Some have jokingly lampshaded that there are far worse things than the Black Organization to fear in the Pantheon, and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath even more worse ways to go out]]. She is not amused.
* It was a while after that Professor Agasa arrived. A gifted scientist and jolly man, his gadgets have been lauded by UsefulNotes/{{MI6}} and other intelligence agencies in the Pantheon. Despite their actual ages, Haibara acts like a mother to him especially where his diet is concerned. Nevertheless, the Professor is the only person Haibara confides in besides Conan, and he in turn is very protective of her. If Haibara can't attend any sort of meeting with an acquaintance, Agasa will step in. This has piqued Gromit the Dog's interest, since he has to contend with Wallace's cheese obsession to the point of setting booby traps. He can't do much for her current situation, but they share a queer kinship. Wallace comments that if he'd taken a degree in pharmaceuticals, he would be able to give his two cents on a cure for APTX 4869.
* Conan Edogawa aka Shinichi Kudo is one of the first real friends she has ever had, or even the first person other than her sister that she has any real affection for. After years of being in a sterile research lab [[IJustWantToBeNormal where a normal life was nothing but a pipe dream]], this is understandable. [[VitriolicBestBuds For all their bickering]], Conan and Haibara share a close bond that they can't have with anyone else given that they were both shrunk by APTX 4869 and share the same level of intelligence. Haibara once had a crush on him, but this quickly disappeared when she realized that he had eyes for Ran and ''[[SingleTargetSexuality only]]'' Ran. Since she's moved on, she's rather hostile to any efforts by the fans to ship her and Conan, more so because [[DieForOurShip they clamour for Ran's death]].
** However, they have serious trust issues where the Black Organization is concerned. Whenever Conan stumbles on a case related to the Organization, he almost never shares said information with Haibara. Likewise, Haibara has never been 100% honest with Conan on what she knows. In fact, she's known that the Organization's boss is [[spoiler:Renya Karasuma]] for a long time but has neglected to share that secret. Ultimately, both do this for the sake of each other's safety and discourage the other from acting rashly.
* If Conan is her best friend[[labelnote:*]]the only friend she can truly confide in anyway[[/labelnote]], Ran is her honorary CoolBigSis. Initially cold towards her because she reminds her strongly of her deceased sister Akemi, this has warmed into a fierce desire to protect her. Likewise, when she first ascended, Ran wanted to be with her to ensure her safety at all costs, not wanting to see her get hurt like [[https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Head-to-Head_Match_with_the_Black_Organization:_A_Dual_Mystery_on_a_Full_Moon_Night last time]]. While appreciative of the gesture, she'd rather not be in her constant company as the nature of her ascension could blow [[OlderThanTheyLook her greatest secret to Ran]]. Agasa is enough for her to handle.
* When he heard about her ascension, Conan had hopes that Haibara would use other antidotes in the Pantheon to more swiftly concoct a permanent antidote for APTX 4869, even suggesting experts in the Pantheon that could collaborate with her. She kindly but firmly refused, stating that she prefers to work alone using her own methods, and would do ''anything'' to keep Conan of stealing the antidotes and using them irresponsibly. [[ProperlyParanoid She doesn't want to risk the chances of him worsening the effects every single time he uses one, even if he used it for "important emergencies"]], causing him to groan in disappointment and give up. There's also the problem of how exotic the variety of drugs, serums, poisons, potions, antidotes are in the Pantheon, and she worries that factoring in ingredients from magical, extradimensional and alchemical sources could completely derail her research.
* Haibara's terrible treatment by the Organization, especially after her sister's death, has earned her a lot of pity from several deities, and her own fury towards others.
** She gets along swimmingly with the Baudelaire Orphans since both lost their parents at a young age and are connected to shadowy organizations their parents are members of (with Haibara also being a member). They pity how the Organization's reliance on her [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation caused her to be isolated]] before she gained her own friends as Haibara. She has similar sentiments towards them, especially pitying them for being chased by Count Olaf in much the same way as she is by the Organization. Out of all the siblings, she is closest to Klaus since both share the same level of intelligence and a well-rounded knowledge of a lot of subjects, not to mention a pessimistic outlook on life as a result of their upbringing. One of her side ventures is e a cure for the Orphans' fast-acting peppermint allergy.
** As stated above, she is happy being a child and would rather remain a child, since her life since being shrunk is far better than before. Moreover, she views it as a new lease on life [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong for her to rectify her past errors as an Organization member]]. Even so, she wouldn't cherish Alessi's power to de-age people to toddlers.... or foetuses depending on how long they were affected. It also doesn't help that he is a psychopath who is ''[[WouldHurtAChild okay]]'' [[WouldHurtAChild with hitting children]], causing her to stay away from him much more.
** Hearing about what happened to her, Toriel wanted to give her comfort stating that everything is going to be okay. Just like with Ran, Toriel easily reminds her of her dead sister, which unsettled her at first, but eventually caused her to easily warm-up to her and forge a friendship. Likewise, Frisk wants to befriend her, hopes that she'll live a happy life as Haibara, and tries to encourage her to warm-up to others to gain more friends. Haibara is comfortable with her small circle of friends, though she appreciates Frisk's support.
** Ended up meeting Cream after she and Conan were solving a murder case involving Dr. Eggman[[labelnote:*]]Turns out TheButlerDidIt.[[/labelnote]]. Cream's naivety, curiosity, and kindness easily reminds her of her other best friend, Ayumi Yoshida, which is why she notably warmed up to her quicker than any other Pantheon deity. As to be expected, [[RunningGag Cream feels bad]] for Haibara upon hearing that she is an orphan and has no biological family left, but is relieved to hear that she is happier living her life as a child. Because of the personality resemblance, Haibara allows Cream to call her by her first name, although she wishes that the latter would drop the "Mrs." act whenever they encounter each other.
* Most of the House of Pantheon/{{Science}} value her as an honorary colleague, even [[VillainRespect some of the evil-aligned ones]], considering that she managed to create a drug capable of being a poison and a de-aging serum at the same time. The evil-aligned ones, especially Ryoma Sengoku, a member of SHOCKER and ally of the Organization, lament at how she has wasted her potential by leaving the Organization and halting any chance of perfecting the ideal APTX 4869, more so not wishing to be involved anymore. The House of Science are interested to hear how Haibara developed a drug that could be a lethal poison and also served as a way for people to de-aged. The evil deities there think it's a waste that she doesn't want to be an evil person anymore because hearing of her capabilities, they believe she could achieve more than what she had developed, which Haibara doesn't want to be involved with. The good deities there are glad that she's now in the side of them with some of them lending a helping hand on helping her on developing the permanent antidote and wished that she could work with them in the future for future projects that could be for the greater good, which Haibara refused as she thinks that she works best using her own methods, something that they understood.
* While Haibara is a big fan of fashion, most of the time, she mostly focuses on accessories. She tends to visit the House of Accessories to see what kind of accessories they have. While Rarity respects this, she wishes that Haibara would focus on other fashion trends, stating that she could be a good model if she does focus on the fashion industry as a whole, which Haibara halted on as she would rather focus on what she wanted.
* While she doesn't really play soccer, she is a big fan of the sport itself and although she accompanies the Detective Boys of the matches of Tokyo Spirits, she is rather a huge admirer of Big Osaka and obsessed over it's star, Hyusuke Rigo. While they don't mind about it, some of the deities are confused why someone who lives in Tokyo would support an opposing team in Osaka, but of course Haibara never listens and tells them to stop minding her business.
* Haibara is a huge animal lover and doesn't like it if animals are being hurt. As such, she gets along with Fluttershy and occasionally visits her temple to take care of her animals. She is impressed with her ability to become friends with all living things in general and jokes that she could turn the BO into pacifistic people, even if saying it uneases her. Although she is a little bit put off by her apologetic demeanor, it doesn't strain their relationship.
* Even though she knows the strategy of not being shocked by electricity thanks to Conan, she still stays away from the Electricity sub-house as she strongly dislikes being shocked. Considering the deities of the Pantheon's capabilities, it's much more reasonable why she stays away from them more often.
* Has managed to acquire the services of Sento Kiryu/Kamen Rider Build in helping with finding a cure to APTX 4869. Many deities were surprised and interested in seeing how far progress has been going ever since the two teamed up.

* Enemies: corrupt law enforcement, [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Felicia Hardy/Black Cat]].
* Special Relations: [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Conan Edogawa]]
* Not to be confused with: [[Pantheon/AntiHeroes Kaito Kumon]]
* Kaito Kuroba is a normal teenager with a normal life. At least, that was the case until he found out that his deceased father Toichi was a notorious thief known as Kaito Kid. With his father's murderers out to get a mysterious gem that can grant immortality, Kaito Kuroba takes on the identity of Kaito Kid in order to stop the organization from going any further with their goals. Since Kaito is a skilled illusionist, it would only make sense for that to translate into his heists, resulting in some unorthodox, yet impressive trickery. There's other forms of trickery that he does in his heists as well, such as disguising himself as another person (and yes, he can match that person's voice very well).
* The House of Justice received a notice that the Chaos Emeralds were going to get stolen from the Great Treasury}. There was a bit of surprise that Dr. Eggman wasn't going to be involved with that, but the various police officers and law enforcement decided to station themselves at the Treasury to make it less likely that the items in question get stolen once the potential thief arrives. Unfortunately, the officers found out that the thief already made their way inside and they had to rush to where the emeralds were at. The emeralds weren't present, but the officers could see a white hang-glider in the distance, prompting them to chase the thief. The thief was able to get away, much to the consternation of law enforcement.
** Following that ordeal, there was a bit of surprise when it was discovered that the emeralds were returned to the Treasury. Eyewitness reports about the heist in question mentioned that an assortment of magic tricks was involved and that someone called Kaito Kid was responsible for all of it, including the "returning the gems" part. Law enforcement has made it a point to catch that Kid whenever he strikes again, mostly due to the notices that he sends out.
* Of the various officers and detectives that are pursuing him, Kaito finds Inspector Zenigata to be quite amusing. Kaito is often reminded of Ginzo Nakamori, who has always targeted Kaito Kid and failed at it, whenever he's trying to avoid getting arrested by Zenigata and even finds the two to be similar in some aspects, right down to the "good at cases that don't involve their number-one target" bit.
** While he has a decent number of recurring pursuers, there were some that he took plenty of issue with. Specifically, he has problems with the corrupt law enforcers as he felt that even if he told them his reasons for his thefts or the fact that he returns the items after a heist is over since they aren't what he's looking for in the long run, they wouldn't care about it nor his affable demeanor and just want him arrested or worse.
* If he isn't going out performing heists as Kaito Kid, then Kuroba is probably hanging out with other magicians such as Oscar Diggs, someone who has used his profession for unconventional purposes. Zatanna Zatara and Dorothy Albright have also used their magic tricks outside of the stage. There is a possibility that there a collaboration between them is in development, though if it does indeed happen, whether or not it will be for a larger purpose remains to be seen.
* He found a kindred spirit in Bugs Bunny, as they're both tricksters (though Bugs is a bit more selective on who to target) and known to disguise themselves as other people (though Kaito put a lot more effort in that regard compared to the wabbit). Weirdly enough, [[Creator/KappeiYamaguchi Kaito discovered that he didn't have much difficulty imitating Bugs' Japanese voice]].
* Kaito isn't fond of traditional guns, so he instead relies on a gun that can fire playing cards. This also makes him a bit more distinct from other thieves; thus if "Kaito Kid" is using an actual gun instead of his playing card gun, then it's not the real Kaito Kid that's making his escape. While some deities that are known to weaponize cards find it amusing to some degree, others feel that it's not a practical weapon to use during heists.
* For some inexplicable reason, Kaito has a strong fear of fish and has been trying to avoid a lot of marine animals as much as he can, especially if they are threatening such as [[Pantheon/{{Beast}} Bruce the Shark]]. The fear is bad enough that he winces a bit whenever he's provided seafood and tries not to eat such a food. He gets along well with [[Pantheon/FriendshipDynamics Tohru]] because of it (although many gods find it ironic that Tohru, with the body of a sumo wrestler, can't stand fish).
* Naturally, Kaito has come to learn of a slew of other thieves in the Pantheon. He finds the majority of them to be interesting rivals should he cross paths with them during his heists.
** He actually heard about Lupin III beforehand, especially since that thief managed to disguise himself as Kaito Kid whilst Kaito Kuroba was watching the antics from the sidelines. Kaito was able to get back at him afterwards by stealing something that Lupin III was after before the latter arrived. The two are engaged in a somewhat friendly competition to see who can pull off more daring capers successfully.
** The one thief that Kaito has a pronounced dislike towards is Felicia Hardy. While she has been both good and evil at different points in time, her going full-on evil and relying on a criminal organization to handle dirty work for her has gotten him rather unnerved. Even though Kaito can be a bit devious at times, he wouldn't try to put others at significant harm on purpose. While Black Cat doesn't really see Kaito as a threat, he has been keeping an eye on her in case the two were to come in direct conflict with each other.
* Being skilled with disguises (though that only happens if the need arises), Kaito has gotten into a bit of a rivalry with other deities proficient in that field, which also included a couple of thieves. While The Spy is not a thief, his untrustworthiness is notable enough to a point where Kaito is very suspicious whenever The Spy has any involvment whatsoever during any of Kaito's heists.
* Even though he wasn't that surprised to hear about Conan Edogawa being in the Pantheon considering that they have crossed paths a number of times in the past, Kaito finds the detective to be a worthy adversary given the skills established by such (and Conan has acknowledged Kaito's own skills). That said, they're pretty amicable towards each other even if they're trying to outwit each other.

* Fears: '''[[Pantheon/GeneticEngineering Cell]]'''
* Pitied by: [[Pantheon/MedicalConditions Nunnally Lamperouge]].
* Dominic Deegan is plotting for his spot, but Light already has plans for him in case he does (especially for [[Pantheon/MilitaryAndWarfare Lelouch Lamperouge]] and [[Pantheon/{{Prophecy}} Dominic Deegan]]). Has allied with [[Pantheon/{{Craft}} Dethklok]], officially to kill off opponents during their concerts, but has gotten used to their music. (Under their earthly avatar "Bloody Valentine.")
* Zhuge Liang, the Sleeping Dragon, is merely biding his time... That or his wife is keeping him from taking the job for fear of his working himself to death again.
* Has manipulated [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities Ichigo and Ryuk]] into representing "different" views of the afterlife (or lack of). The fear of death can be used to change society; and it's the "unknown" of death that causes the fear. If even the gods can't agree...
* Disgruntled at Popeye for only selling spinach, not potato chips that he can eat ''epically''. And that he can't write his name on the Death Note because the power of Death Note is compelled with the power of spinach (he tried once).
* Hatched a plan to twist the look of [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Simon Belmont]]. It succeeded, now Simon looked like him and Light hoped to use him as a necessary scapegoat whenever necessary. It turns out that he is trying to remove all traces of all ''Franchise/{{Castlevania}}'' good guys from the Pantheon, citing them as one of the main obstacles of his plans.
* Once joined forces with Emperor Palpatine to help him with his secret plans to stage a coup d'etat against the Main House.
** He has since jumped ship to the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfLaw.
* Is the only serial killer John Doe puts his full support towards, since like Doe, [[KnightTemplar he judges the wicked]]. Doe thinks some of the kills should be more creative, but a simple heart attack usually gets the point across. He doesn't think highly of Light's AGodAmI as for him, [[ChurchGoingVillain there's only one God and He isn't Japanese]]. Light appreciates the support, but feels he's often too zealous.
* Is ''not'' related to Iori Yagami (their surnames are also written differently in Japanese to drive the point home). However, some can't help but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxDJIpwHAPc laugh at this.]]
* Has become sort-of allies with the {{Mangaka}}s Mashiro and Takagi (Ashirogi Muto) due to sharing creators and Takagi looking just like him and admiring his story. At the very least, he doesn't feel like he will need to write their names on the death note at the moment.
* Attempted to get Kurapika on his side by approaching him and offering to help him on his quest by killing off the Phantom Troupe, but Kurapika had already learned of his reputation and deeds (not to mention that Light [[Creator/MamoruMiyano sounded almost exactly like]] the leader of the Troupe, which did not help matters), and shut him down when Light was in the middle of saying "Hey th-". Not only did Kurapika refuse his help (because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou avenging his clan was his quest and his alone]]), but he also asked him not to speak to him ever again. Naturally, this offended Light greatly.
* Was really angry to find out that Eliza Reagan properly ascended into the Pantheon after believing himself to be free from having to constantly bail her out. While she no longer wants him to protect her, the kind of person [[RichBitch Eliza]] is [[EvenEvilHasStandards makes Light feel sick]].
* Has no idea [[Pantheon/{{MindGames}} Near]] ascended properly into the Pantheon. No one is really rushing to tell him.
** One day, however, while the lights were being reinstalled, Light managed to catch a glimpse of Near and chased him down to confirm his suspicion of him actually ascending. He was just about to write his name down right in front of him, only to suffer from a heart attack. After re-awakening in the house of Life and Death, he was '''horrified''' to find out the Rem herself did the deed, ascended proper herself, and was '''''furious''''' at Light for [[spoiler:shortening Misa's life span deep enough to get her killed via suicide,]] promising her services to L, Near and Mello to keep him under control. Light is now faced with the prospect of ascending Misa herself to try and get Rem to work for her again, which he ''really'' hates the idea of.
*** He became an even bigger mess after his own father ascended [[spoiler:post death, learning the truth behind his son's actions]]. He has since been pacing back and forth anxiously, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk worried he may have to kill his father again]].
*** Now that Misa herself ascended, he tried to get her to convince Rem to work with him. In terms of bad news, she declined after she caught wind of [[spoiler:[[EvenEvilHasStandards him killing his father for his own gain, as well as in full detail how he tricked Rem into dying for her.]]]] Good news for him, she ''is'' willing to still aide him by trying to get rid of the House of Crime from the inside out. He'll have to take what he can get.
*** All this said, given on just how evil people can be in the Pantheon, Rem is willing [[TeethClenchedTeamwork (albeit barely)]] to work with Light to keep the Pantheon safe for Misa against deities [[EvilerThanThou that they both see as evil]].
* Recently [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQe4H7dgvbU tried to kill]] [[Pantheon/GeneticEngineering Cell]]. The key word there being "tried". Light has since decided to steer clear of the bio-android.
* Was once stalked by the Laughing Salesman, who decided to help him with his dream of becoming the new head of the house of Pantheon/{{Justice}} to further his goals of spreading justice, arresting plenty of people who he sees as evil, especially Near, L and Mello. However, this led to him eventually deciding to arrest Moguro, realizing he committed several crimes in his homeworld. [[TranquilFury The salesman wasn't that amused and decided to DON Light into not only taking away his Death Note's ability to actually kill people,]] [[LaserGuidedKarma but also cause a prison riot with Ryuk even writing it down, sick of Light treating him as superior to a god of Death.]] Ryuk gave him a new Death Note, but was able to also jump up to Greater Godhood after this, as well as threatening the Court Of The Gods.

* Ryoma Sengoku is an amoral scientist who has no concern about the lives of others, which he uses them as his test subjects for his research, just to achieve his goal of grasping the Forbidden Fruit in order to become a godly figure. He was first introduced as a close associate to Takatora Kureshima as they work in a secret project called the "Project Ark" while he's researching on the Helheim Forest which leads to the creation of Lockseeds and Sengoku Drivers. However, he made a point that he will fulfill his own ambition by betraying Takatora after he was distraught of Takatora's decision of saving humanity as a priority back in the past, before successfully usurped the Yggsdrasill Corporation for his own plans. Any doubt about his place was later put to rest after he leaked information of the political powers who were involved in Project Ark to the press, allowing him to pursue the fruit of knowledge as he pleased while the World Leaders took all the blame. After the destruction of the Over Lord Inves and his failed attempt to grasp the Forbidden Fruit completely, he finally met his end after receiving a vicious beatdown at the hands of Kaito Kumon, [[spoiler: who became the Over Lord known as Lord Baron, and [[DisneyVillainDeath falling to his doom]]. However, he [[BackFromTheDead was revived by Megahex as a cyborg]] with the impression of "achieving his goal as a godly figure" until he is finally [[KilledOffForReal killed off]] by Takatora Kureshima in their final showdown]].
* Although he died in two occasions, Ryoma seems to be satisfied after he found himself in the pantheon, believing that he became a real god. However, he's not the only one as most of his enemies from Zawame are also present was well. He also seems to be aware that he will gain alot of enemies with various heroes in the pantheon after he started his research on their capabilities while some of them just hates his guts for different personal reasons. For him, his death in the mortal world is just the beginning.
** His attitude as a MadScientist has made him an enemy to every good-aligned scientist as they cited all of his atrocities he made in the name of science, this is the reason why he got banned from the House of Technology in the first place.
** He also gained two rivals in the form of Houka Inumuta and Edward Richtofen, as the former is known of collecting data to improve the Goku Uniform is similar to his job of improving his inventions via data collecting while the latter is also a mad scientist who has the same psychopathic attitude just like him.
* After he heard the presence of the terrorist organization SHOCKER, he decided to join in their cause for [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]] in order to analyze the data of all heroes in the Pantheon, especially the Kamen Riders, as a means to create a countermeasure against them. His role as a employed member of the organization is to create more Sengoku Drivers and Matsubokkuri Lockseeds to their Shocker Combatmen, which allows them to transform into Kurokage Troopers.
** While he quite gets along with his fellow SHOCKER employed members, he is not fond of working with Lord Djibril at all as he cited Djibril's idiotic actions have cost SHOCKER some battles against various heroes in the Pantheon.
* Ryoma handpicked Nine Barthes as his High Priest after Nine impressed him with the Embody System, an invention that would allow the controller to MindRape a subject to follow commands and increase the subject's reflexes. Needless to say, Ryoma's decision quickly made him Enemy No. 1 for Gunpla fighters Aila, Reiji, Sei, and Team TRY Fighters.
** Due to his association with Nine Barthes, Ryoma is willingly contribute his research to the Mecha Cohort to strengthen their robots for evil. Due to this, he became bitter enemies with Marida Cruz, and by extent, the rest of the Gundam Corps.
* He knows many of the Riders' tricks of the trade and adapts quickly to adjust, from installing hologram projections to providing a killswitch to prevent rivals from using a Genesis Driver to transform. Kouta and Takatora both warned the GUAG about Ryoma's cunning given how much grief he gave them.
* Ryoma's pursuit to becoming a god have put both Sayaka Miki, Shinji Ikari, Isaac Clarke, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Setsuna F. Seiei on full alert. Aware of the dangers of facing an opponent using the Genesis Driver, Isaac is working overtime to craft the weapons he, Ichigo, Shinji, Setsuna, and Sayaka, need to stop this dangerous threat.
** Ryoma is currently working on a universal kill switch that will destroy all transformation devices, even non-technological ones. Because of this, every [[HenshinHero transforming heroes]] and {{magical girl}}s considers him a threat.
* Due to his desire to become a god by any means, he gets along with other deities with god-complex mentality like Albedo Piazzolla, Sosuke Aizen, and Orochimaru. Rumors that they are starting to work together to achieve omnipotent power so that no one would stand in their way.
* Mitsuzane will never forget the time Ryoma [[spoiler:killed Mai [[XanatosGambit behind his back after the latter manipulated him to kill Kouta]]]]. However at this point, he learned that Micchy managed to get out from the Purgatory after he managed to regain his good reputations among the Toku heroes. Ryoma will find a way to crush him if the right time comes.
* Ryoma really opposes Lock Dealer Sid and Kougane due to two reasons, as the former betrayed ''him'' in an attempt to claim the Forbidden Fruit for himself and the latter [[spoiler:killed his alternate self from the soccer world after he broke the artificial forbidden fruit's seal]].
** He is somewhat being opposed by Sou Fueki, Homura Akemi, and Tomoko Nozama, for three reasons: Fueki [[EvenEvilHasStandards has a negative opinion]] regarding of his LackOfEmpathy towards everything, Homura is just seemed not to like him for his pursue of becoming a god, and Tomoko sees him as no different to any evil riders in general.
* He became close allies with Johan Liebert, the Trollkaigers, Kyubey, Monokuma, and Junko Enoshima, due them having a mutual interest of seeing the likes of [[HopeBringer Madoka Kaname, Makoto Naegi, Kouta Kazuraba]] as a great threat to their plans.
* While he managed to create three new Sengoku Driver prototypes, along with three new Lockseeds, as suggested by [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} Melkor]], Ryoma was [[spoiler: utterly pissed off after one of the [[GrandTheftPrototype new Sengoku Driver prototypes and his new Lockseeds were stolen]] by Iron Man]]. Which in turn, Ryoma swears he will get his revenge against him.
** Since he had two more prototypes left, Ryoma change his plans by modifying one of the prototype driver with the Genesis Core attached to it while creating new Lockseeds based on [[spoiler: Gaim Yami's]] data, as well as creating another Yomotsuheguri Lockseed since he found an [[spoiler: [[Pantheon/{{Vengeance}} ideal candidate]]]] for this purpose. He also gave some newly-made drivers and Lockseeds to [[spoiler: Enoshima, Sugou, and the Reagan siblings]] as well, as a means to collect data against their respective adversaries in their battles, not to mention that they want revenge on their foes which is the reason why he gave the drivers to them in order to fulfill their personal goals.
* Was briefly fascinated and amused by the arrival of the hero Kamen Riders from the world of Build, interested at the idea of them [[spoiler: using Evolt's own gathered energy to create a whole new world]], at times [[{{Troll}} holding this fact over the alien's head]]. All of Ryoma's amusement went of the window when he learned that Sento Kiryu [[WordOfGod has been acknowledged as having the highest IQ of all of the Heisei Kamen Riders]], something that ''really'' [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex gnaws at the high self-esteem of someone like Ryoma.]] Their most recent conversation didn't help:
--> '''Ryoma:''' [[BreakThemByTalking What exactly makes you think you, someone with no memory or identity to truly call his own, is smarter than me? How can you lay claim to to anything that I myself cannot replicate in a superior matter when all you know has been hand crafted by someone to mold the perfect pawn? What fact can you state that makes it clear the difference that sets you above me?]]
--> '''Sento:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Oh, its simple really:]] [[spoiler:[[ArmorPiercingResponse I lived. You died.]]]]

* Annoyed at: ''[[Pantheon/TheatricPerformers Kaito Kid]]''
* The karate champion as well as the captain of the martial arts club of Teitan High, Ran Mouri is the {{childhood friend}} and {{love interest}} of Shinichi Kudo. While going on a trip to Tropical Land, Shinichi left her behind stating that he missed something inside the rollercoaster trip. That is until she went to Shinichi's home, thinking he is already home, only that she could never find him and encountered Dr. Agasa and a kid that she didn't recognize. The latter introduced himself as Conan Edogawa, with Ran taking an interest on the kid and wanted him to stay on her home where it is also where her father's detective agency came from. Now, she is helping her father solve crimes and cases whenever they encounter one, unaware that Conan is the one that solve all the cases and that he is Shinichi Kudo.
* She was chosen to ascend not only because it seems that either she or someone else will remind someone she is a karate captain, whether or not they are in a dangerous situation, but also that [[spoiler:she finally responded to Shinichi's love confession by kissing him on the cheek]]. Upon meeting Conan in the Pantheon, they were both surprised to meet each other, and she didn't expect him to have already ascended before she. Fearing that Ran will find out his identity soon, the Court of Gods set up a mandate to keep Conan's identity as Shinichi a secret from her until she discovers it by herself.
** Given how…badly he's kept the secret from several others, despite having successfully sabotaged Ran's progress to finding him out several times, a lot thought that this mandate was stupid and that there should be some sort of middle ground as to what she knows of Conan that will stay in the Pantheon and not follow to the mortal realm. However, due to the threat of the Black Organization[[labelnote:*]]for all they know, it or some of its members are followers in the Pantheon, and even if DeathIsCheap, Conan is paranoid like that [[FridgeLogic even if a lot of deities know who he is without ending up in the Organization's sights]][[/labelnote]], and given how many others have already made it to the Pantheon even ''before'' ascending if they ever do, this mandate will stay in effect, but can be re-negotiated to Conan at a later date. [[spoiler:The Black Organization is now actually here]].
* A former follower of Liam/Angel, he is happy to see the day that one of his followers got to ascend. She is happy to see him and hopes that he will do his best to atone his mistakes. She tries to give him advice when it comes to detective work that she learned from constantly hanging out with Shinichi and her father as he decided to become a detective and hopes he will be a successful one. Liam nonetheless appreciates the advice she gave him as he is far better at fighting demons than solving mysteries.
* She finally got to meet Shinichi's inspiration, Sherlock Holmes. She's somewhat happy to see that Shinichi isn't in the Pantheon, as while she does hold Holmes huge respect, she doesn't like the idea of hearing Shinichi rambling everything about him. She wanted to thank Holmes for being such an inspiration to Shinichi in his choices and possible career path, and that he became what he is today. During their first meeting, she asked him if he knows where her friend is, which he responded that he will tell her someday.
** Considering that she is considered the Watson to Shinichi's Holmes, she was visited by John Watson. They do find some CommonalityConnection in that they both tend to ask questions to their respective partners when in comes to cases (although Ran started to do this less often, it's still there) and that they can be both protective of them by using their respective combat skills. She also feels bad to see how much he got {{flanderiz|ation}}ed by current society, and noted that she hopes he will feel better someday and hopes that his wife, Mary Morstan, will ascend someday, considering that she died before Holmes returned, and hopes that they'll find true happiness along the way.
* As a karate champion, she wanted to know if there are any people that knows the art. This is when she met Makoto, who practices a style of karate called rindo-kan karate. She is curious to see what are the difference between her style of karate and Makoto's. The two respect and bonded with each other because of this and found that fighting each other is one of the most thrilling experiences that they ever have, with Makoto liking Ran even more for how kind and respectful personality combined with how considerate she is to her loved ones. In Ran's perspective, she thinks that Makoto's too serious and needs to calm down a little.
* She respects the Investigation Team for being able to solve the murders of Inaba by themselves despite the dangers of doing it, but she connected with Chie the most. They are both martial artists, have fears of the horror genre, with Ran encouraging her decision of becoming a police officer. Her thirst for eating also reminds Ran of Genta at times, and tries her best to teach Chie how to expand her cooking skills along with Yukiko and Rise.
** Other Persona users she had the privilege of meeting that are tough like her are Akihiko Sanada and Makoto Niijima. She bonded with the former for their protective instincts from the people they love and being stubborn about it and their obliviousness of how the opposite sex attracted them. For the latter, she bonded with her thanks to her friendship with Sae Niijima. She felt bad that losing her father causes her to lose her passion as a police officer, which was eventually revived later on and also what she's been through, such as the rumors that she got as a student council president, being blackmailed, and being called useless to the point that it got her so much desperation to prove her usefulness. She also admires her sense of justice and hopes for the best for her.
* She isn't happy to see that Kaito Kid is a Pantheon god as he had rendered her unconscious once and disguised as her. He had also tried to kiss her when she thought that he was Shinichi. Kaito Kid didn't think that she would actually ascend, although he is spying on her using his dove whenever Conan asks him what she is doing around her day.
* Her father is a police officer, and still works closely with his former co-workers despite his irritating attitude and questionable idiocy. As such, she respects the law enforcement, but special mention goes to Lei Wulong and Chun-Li, not just because of their practice of martial arts, but also because they are competent in their job as police officers, which reminds her of cops like Detective Sato. She wanted to thank them that there are officers like them and that they try to make the world a better place.
** She also respects Renee Montoya from those same reasons (minus the martial arts). When she heard that she got accused of murder, she sympathized with her as her father and her old captain also have gone through the same thing. She was also horrified to see that Renee's parents disowned her for being a lesbian. She's happy to see she got better from those experiences and hopes she will live a better life.
* Her mother is a professional lawyer and is nicknamed the "Queen of the Courtroom", thus she has huge respect to those that are lawyers with a sense of justice. Hearing about this, she met lawyers like Phoenix Wright, whom she respected because he has a huge sense of justice to the point he would rather have a client who actually committed a crime get a guilty verdict, although she thinks that he should have better deduction skills. She also got to meet Sae Niijima, who is happy to see her change of heart, developing a better sense of justice, and that she was able to reconcile with her sister ([[NamesTheSame incidentally also named]] [[Pantheon/{{School}} Makoto]]), something that she wished that would happen to her father and mother, who were separated at the time being.
** That said, she truly hates those a that are corrupted, which is the case with Manfred von Karma. She's disgusted to see that is able to convict innocent people with a guilty verdict, how he horribly educated his own children, and that he killed the father of his adoptive son just to keep a perfect record. She hopes to see the day that he will get karma when the time comes.
* One of her former teachers was a FBI agent, so she was curious to see if there are any that fit that job description. Meeting Will Graham and Clarice Starling, she is amazed at their empathy of criminals, she ended up pitying them hearing that they had been through against Hannibal Lecter, with Will becoming a literal drunk, and that one of their counterparts [[spoiler:ended up running away together with the serial killer]].
** There's also [[Pantheon/{{Speech}} Peter Burke]], even if his division is more specialized for {{white collar crime}}s, though she was a bit conflicted at first with his partner [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork Neal Caffrey]] (an ex-criminal) before learning of his backstory and acknowledging that he really wants to make things right.
* She cares a lot about children and will go to great lengths to protect them. As such, almost all kids love her because of her caring, nurturing attitude, but are simply afraid whenever her instincts kick in, but nonetheless love her and would totally have her as a babysitter. Although she is afraid of kids who don't have the mind of normal ones and creep her out, such as like Eric Cartman and Hansel and Gretel (not the classic pair, though).
* She fears ghosts, not because they are supernatural themselves, but because they would be invulnerable to her martial arts skills. She thus also fears other monsters, as she feels that they would be invulnerable as well. She tries her best to stay away from them as soon as possible, although her fear of monsters causes her to be an easy advantage by the evil-monstrous deities to be spook easily.
** Until she was eventually backed into a corner and was forced to attack back. As soon as she realized that certain monsters are just as susceptible to her karate, her fear of them has lessened considerably. But those indeed invulnerable (like ghosts), she's going to run.
* She is extremely lucky in luck-based games such as poker and mahjong. Even though she hates poker, her luck in it is so good that it seems like she is a professional. A lot of people are disputed by how a girl who hates it is so good at it. When asked if she wanted to participate in an another poker round, she refused, as she prefers to keep a healthy lifestyle.
* Considering that she waited for Shinichi to permanently return, she is pitied by the entire House of Love, but special mention goes to Princess Cadence and Kyu Sugardust. The former feels bad for the pain that she held inside and hopes that Conan will finally find a way to defeat the Black Organization and reverse the effects on his body, or at least that she would know the truth. For the latter, seeing how made for each other Ran and Shinichi are, not to mention a few glares from Cadence, both are in her whitelist in that neither of them will be involved in her work (especially considering how much of a DudeMagnet Ran is).

* Light Yagami ascended after his death, a false saint stewing in shame over his failure to become god of the new world. And who was the one that engineered his demise? His partner-in-crime Ryuk, a god of death who dropped his extra Death Note into the Human World for [[ItAmusedMe shits and giggles]]. When he wrote his doomed partner's name in his Death Note to save himself the trouble of watching him rot in jail, he thought that was the end of it, as those who die in his universe revert to ''Mu'' ([[CessationOfExistence nothingness]]). He found himself gut-punched twice when the Shinigami King (via [[MouthOfSauron Armonia Justin Beyondormason]]) ordered him to the Pantheon. The first one came when he discovered that Light actually ''ascended as a god'' after dying. The second one came when the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods told him that from now on he would be watching over the former human he was messing with for jollies as his herald effective immediately. The {{Shinigami}}'s reply was typical Ryuk:
--> '''Ryuk:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Well this is gonna be fun...]]
* Light of course was livid that Ryuk condemned him to die but [[ThrowTheDogABone to be fair]], Ryuk did warn him that he would do that if he was caught. For the most part Light shows no antagonism towards Ryuk (he enjoys his new godhood), but did reveal that only being in the Pantheon might protect Ryuk. Ryuk just nodded dismissively knowing that Light would fuck up eventually and would have to rely on him for safety. Until then, he basically lazed around in the Shinigami Realm or scoured the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} for apples. The moment he had been waiting for finally arrived when Light made a deal with the Laughing Salesman Moguro Fukuzou. At the end of the whole affair, Light was in prison and his Death Note had been donned into ineffectiveness. As Light begged Ryuk to help him, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Ryuk decided to write down that Light would be killed in a prison riot]] and the many prisoners who pounced on him were ''not happy'' to say the least. A revived Light begged Ryuk for a new Death Note, with the Shinigami only giving in after Light brought him a basket full of apples but not before reminding him why he was doing it.
--> '''Ryuk:''' Light, allow me to make myself perfectly clear this one time. [[ItAmusedMe I'm only doing this because seeing how you will either succeed or fail is enjoyable to me]]. You do not own me. ''I own you.'' If I so please, I can rip this notebook out of your hands at any moment to give to someone else. I'm more powerful than you, and I will not hesitate to show why if you try to think otherwise, understand?
** Ryuk later broke into the Court and demanded a promotion to full godly status, threatening to kill them all if they didn't comply. After finding out that their guards just shoot their bullets right through him, they relented and gave him the position of god of all {{shinigami}}. Which is complete codswallop, because Ryuk actually just had a friendly chat with Chief Justice Johnson who had been hit real hard by the whole thing and the above story was a cover-up to scare Light.
** Suffice to say, Ryuk's dynamic with Light post-ascension is - roughly the same as usual. Partners-in-crime who openly don't actually care for each other's wellbeing but rely on the other to survive[[note]]On Ryuk's end it's because he needs apples and the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} has gotten wise to his nightly rampages[[note]]. Ryuk is a FairWeatherFriend at best, being friendly and compliant until Light gets into trouble, in which case it will depend on his mood to see if he'll help out. Light ''hates'' this arrangement and is looking to break free all the time but [[StatusQuoIsGod always seems to slink back to Ryuk]].
* He now spends his time mocking Light and going off to drink wine and eat apples with Moguro, thanking him for giving him the chance to be freed from Light's servitude. They talk about topics only they would find amusing and prank calling other deities. He sometimes invites Hades along just to mess with other deities.
** Rumor has it that he was the one that actually ascended Rem herself in order to help Ryuk get freed of Light's control. He still keeps tabs on her, in case he thinks he could use her help in something.
* In rare cases of seriousness, Ryuk will explain that the human obsession with afterlives is irrational, and he and his kind are just nature's way of cleaning up psychic residue and leftover lifeforce.
* ''Also'' lends a hand to fledgling Shinigami and Deaths; partially to keep on the higher-ups good side, partially to mind-screw with Ichigo. (Hey, he watched Light in action and learned quite a bit.) He is, however, going to mess with them a bit. Also, if ''everyone'' dies, there won't be anyone left to die. Or grow apples.
* Is currently in a meme war (he's doing it for the lulz) with Ichigo Kurosaki over what being a ''Shinigami'' means.
* The symptoms of his lack of apples [[MemeticMutation are startiiiiiing]].
* Was almost killed by [[Pantheon/{{Pride}} Vegeta]] after several prank calls GoneHorriblyWrong. He has now switched to prank-calling [[Anime/TransformersEnergon Shockblast]].
* Was highly amused to find Mashiro Moritaka and Akito Takagi requesting him for an autograph. He's usually signing other people's names, so signing his own was a change he didn't expect.
* Whenever he's in need of apples badly, he sometimes steals from Maximus's stash, must to his annoyance. He did try to learn about planting his own apple tree after Johnny Appleseed and Applejack heard of Maximus's complaints, but he always walked off to just pick apples from their fields. Needless to say, they really didn't go anywhere. Doesn't help that the soil in Ryuk's temple is ill-fitted from growing grass, let alone trees.
* Grim was vastly impressed with how Ryuk backstabbed Light, clapping and laughing upon meeting up with him the next time. Ryuk sometimes writes Billy and Mandy in his death note to give Grim some time off, only adding onto how much Grim likes him, enough to confide in him that [[CrossoverShip that may have some feeling for Rem]]. Despite knowing very well that Shinigami have no reasons to fall in love with humans, let alone more perverted things, [[ShipperOnDeck Ryuk still decided to help set Grim up on some dates with,]] [[{{Troll}} if only to see how disastrous they could turn out]].
* Ryuk enjoys watching the antics of Cesare within the Pantheon, even if he is saddened to find out he can't use his death note. He is currently looking around for a new god or goddess to properly give his Death Note too.

* Rivals: [[Pantheon/MindGames The Riddler]], [[Pantheon/LustfulActs James Bond]], just about anyone who wants to challenge him for fun.
* Enemies: Besides Light Yagami, [[Pantheon/OtherCriminals Misa Amane]] and [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Teru Mikami]], any deity that kills left and right, mostly the House Of Pantheon/{{Villains}} and the House Of Pantheon/{{Crime}}. Also hated by Religious deities for deciding his own moral code.
* JustFriends: [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Panty]]
* Respects/Respected by: [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Bruce Wayne/Batman]]
* Near originally had the spot here of being both [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys "Gaining Gadgets Unexpectedly"]] and being a "LaserGuidedTykebomb". However, recent developments within the house of Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} had started a campaign to cut down on deities that hold two titles. Light originally started it with help from Misa and Teru, bringing up the idea of kicking Near off to the Court Of Gods and using Misa and Teru as anonymous sources, claiming that he doesn't even represent his chosen titles that much. [[SpannerInTheWorks However, Batman has been keeping an eye on Light after Near requested his aid in return for his assistance when dealing with some of Arkham's own criminals]], and quickly informed Near about what Light was doing, allowing him ample time to prepare a plan.
** When the Court Of Gods sent a representative, Near calmly [[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3266/3159825260_c0408ea6e8.jpg used his finger puppets from when he was planning on beating Kira]] [[PlanningWithProps to detail what Light and his allies were planning to do and telling them through use of his finger puppets]]. He also explained his plan on countering this by getting a more fitting title, PlanningWithProps. Seeing everything Near presented checked out, this was approved and Near moved to the house of Pantheon/{{Planning}}... [[LaserGuidedKarma right next to Light's temple]]. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Near and Batman got a good laugh out of how things turned out for Light]], and Light himself is pissed that Near is so close to his temple, making it no secret that he wants to see him gone.
* As a proud owner of countless toys and gizmos, those who need gadgets often go to Near for help obtaining them; he gives the seeker a run-down on how hard it is to obtain, how much it costs, where to go for it, and other such details.
* Once he heard that Mello ascended, Near instantly headed off to the House of Food to meet with Mello, who was getting ready for another verbal fight against Near once he heard of his ascension. He was quickly stunned when Near thanked him for helping him get the final clues for the Kira case, handing him a bar of chocolate as a way of saying "No hard feelings". While Mello still refuses to call him a friend, he is ''a bit'' more tolerant of his presence now, even promising to help him should Light try to become Kira again.
** On a really good day for Mello, he could be seen eating chocolate with Near, if only because he insists that he is just bored and nothing else.
* No one has ever seen Near walk. He's just sort of... [[OffscreenTeleportation there when you look at him]].
* He also met face to face with L for the first time, and L was rather impressed that Near took down Light in the end. However, he as well as other deities, including the House Of Knowledge, wanted to know if he really did use a Death Note to control Teru Mikami. Near just smirks and refuses to comment, saying it would ruin the fun of the puzzle.
** Overhearing the last part of how it would ruin the fun of the puzzle, The Riddler got his eyes set on him due to how similar the two think and has even sent him a riddle for him to solve instead of Batman for once to test how intelligent Near really is. To his dismay, Near appeared right in front of him with an active searchlight set on "Bat-Man" at [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Scrooge McDuck's]] money vault. While he managed to backtrack and escape Near's sight, Scrooge saw him and beat him down till Batman caught up to The Riddler. He has since considered Near a WorthyOpponent and has sent him riddles on occasion should he feel bored by Batman.
*** Batman grew to respect Near because of this, even if his way of getting information is questionable at best. In return, Near respects Batman for choosing his own morals like he did, and the two of them even help each other out on crime cases periodically.
*** For those curious about what the Riddler's riddle was, it was actually a 200 piece pure white puzzle, which when exposed to an LED light, has the phrase "Life is like a hurricane, no?" on it. Near deduced quickly that the number of pieces, 200, was military time for 2:00 AM, and a quick google search about the phrase led to the Ducktales theme song. It wasn't long till Near pieced it together.
* Unsurprisingly, gets along swimmingly with the Toys of Toy Story, even playing with them on a regular basis. However, his own toys seemed to start moving on their own once Near met them. Not that he minds it, as he enjoys playing with them, and even setting up plans with them; it's just that the rest of the SPK feels awkward around them and are still adapting to it.
** Buzz even offered to assist Near in his detective work, serving as a scout of sorts for crime that Near suspects is happening. Very few people in Japan would believe that a Buzz Lightyear toy would have a hidden camera installed on him.
* Despite spending a great deal of time in his own temple left to his own devices, he got out a lot frequently once he heard that people like Primus and Emmet were gods here. He spent a great deal watching Primus in awe and crafting with Legos alongside Emmet.
* Was quite shocked at [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Spike]] when he heard his voice, as it [[Creator/CathyWeseluck sounded familiar]]. Despite this, even if Spike is a bit unnerved at Near's cold personality, he does respect him for being a dedicated planner.
* Upon hearing how Near [[MemeticMutation entered the Avatar State]], Aang went over to see if there could be another avatar. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYyUUrga7kU A little while after he entered]], he stepped out dazed and dizzy. Despite this, he does visit Near's temple a couple times to help Near go out and make friends. While Near does appreciate the sentiment, he does find Aang to be a bit annoying at times. Regardless, he still goes out with him when asked.
* Does his best to avoid Light Yagami whenever possible, as he knows he can't beat him by himself. Should he figure out that Light figured out that he ascended and is planning on writing down Near's name, he has arranged a uber-heart transfer with [[Pantheon/{{Physicians}} The Medic]] to help combat Light's Notebook.
** Such a day eventually came around when Near [[WhoForgotTheLights was caught underneath some wonky lights that needed to be replaced]]. As he was walking by a black spot underneath the lightbulb, it turned on for long enough for Light to realize that it was Near. When it went off and on again, Near was gone. After a short chase around the house, Light managed to corner Near and peaked Ryuk's interest to go and see how this encounter turned out. He pulled out his Death Note, ready to write him off ([[{{Pun}} literally]]). Just before he finished writing his name, [[KarmicDeath Light ended up getting a heart attack somehow]]. When he accused Near and Ryuk of doing this, [[NotMeThisTime Near denied having any role in this and Ryuk expressed surprise and confusion before laughing as he saw Light expire as another figure went up behind him, who turned out to be Rem]]. While Ryuk gave a hearty chuckle and welcomed Rem back, Near just gazed at her in confusion.
*** Ryuk filled Near in on Rem before she told her side of the story. While shocked to hear what Light did in detail, he explained how he went up against Kira and won thanks to Mello. While Rem was unnerved at some of the same traits he shared with L, she still prefers him to Light and is willing to aide him should Misa not lead to her getting imprisoned or executed. He has agreed to let Soichiro Yagami handle her at least while he focuses on Light and Teru, and considering Soichiro is willing to help Misa out to improve her mind instead of just arresting or killing her, Rem is satisfied with this arrangement.
*** As for his plan with getting a new heart transplant courtesy of Medic, he requested to test it out first with him healing the [[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Heavy Weapons Guy]]. As a man of science and a MadDoctor, he approved of this request. Tests are still going underway.
* The day James Bond decided to challenge Near to a game of chess in the House of Love was... interesting, to say the least, for all the wrong reasons.
** Before that day, other gods had decided to challenge Near to any intellectual activity with very few accounts of them succeeding; he had only been beaten by L and Mello beforehand, and even then he had accounts of managing to beat the both of them. After completing the game and winning, much to James' shock, he was going to head out, only to be stopped by Panty, who, seeing how Near was on her ''To-Do List'', took notice and complimented Near in how cute and adorable he was, mentioning how it is a shame his ''V card'' is still with him. Of course, Near being a DefectiveDetective, he had zero idea what to do and was left stuttering and flustered as Panty picked him up and took him to her room, resulting in one of the only times in Pantheon history that other deities witnessed Near's legs moving frantically. The result of that was conflicting to Near to say the least. On one hand, what she did to him at first was something that he didn't seem fond of, despite [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Frollo]] seeming downright ''envious'' of him, but on the other hand, cuddling with Panty was actually rather enjoyable. He settled to being JustFriends with her, allowing her to cuddle him and nothing else.
* Has been recruited by Killua Zoldyck to help keep dangerous members of the Pantheon in line. Surprisingly, they have a decent alliance, as for all of Near's faults, [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys his resources]] and personality actually makes him very effective. He is also curious to see if Killua is willing to teach him how to use a KillerYoYo like he can.
* Is well aware that there is an actual [[Pantheon/CharacterRoles N]] here relating to Pokemon.

Whatever the case, this mysterious, seemingly perfect young prodigy is at his very core nothing more than pure evil. Johan is often called the '''[[TitleDrop Monster]]'''; this is testament to his virtually superhuman skill to intimidate, manipulate and annihilate. It is believed that all who look upon his visage will be driven insane or brutally murdered. God help whoever attracts so much as a second of his attention, because he will find out who you are, he will hunt you down, and he will ''[[BreakingSpeech break you]]''.
** Born to Viera Černá in 1975 as part of a eugenics experiment, Johan (not his real name) and his twin sister (later named Anna) fled their handlers into UsefulNotes/EastGermany. Both were then separated, with Johan being sent to Kinderheim 511, [[OrphanageOfFear a hellish orphanage]] tailored to turn children into perfect soldiers. Growing bored of the orphanage, Johan instigated a massacre that killed nearly all of its children and staff. The twins were subsequently adopted by East German foreign trade adviser Michael Liebert and his wife who soon fled to the West.
** A secret visit from his former handler caused Johan to kill his foster parents, being found by the police with a [[BoomHeadshot gunshot to the head]] from his sister. The wounded Johan was operated on by his future ArchEnemy: neurosurgeon Kenzo Tenma at the expense of the latter's career. Johan "repaid" this favour, acting on Tenma's rant by his hospital bed [[IWishedYouWereDead about wanting those responsible for his fall dead]], by killing those responsible for Tenma's demotion[[labelnote:*]]namely hospital director Udo Heinemann, chief of surgery Dr. Oppenheim and rival doctor Boyer[[/labelnote]], disappearing shortly after. After sending Anna to another foster family, Johan began hiring serial killers to murder their many former foster parents, amassed a fortune from an underground bank and gained a cadre of followers, including a neo-Nazi society determined to make him the next Hitler.
** Crossing paths with his saviour once more whilst killing one of his now-useless pawns, Tenma was framed for Johan's many crimes ([[{{Unperson}} as nearly all traces of Johan's identity were wiped from existence]]). On the run and filled with guilt over saving a psychopath, Tenma set out to eliminate his former patient for good. The quest ended in the town of Ruhenheim, Germany, where Johan was shot in the head by an [[AlcoholicDad abusive, delusional drunkard]]. True to his pure-heartedness, Tenma operated on Johan, saving his life yet again. At present, Johan is comatose in a state police hospital, and has remained that way for a decade. It seems, however, that the Pantheon has other plans for him...
* Johan made his first known appearance in the Pantheon after a sudden series of [[MurderSuicide murder-suicides]] in the House of Pantheon/{{Family}}, having taken advantage the mass emigrations to the Pantheon in its early years to enter incognito. Originally ascended as the God of MindRape, Johan relinquished the title to the being that invented the term, [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Arael]]. He received the new trope MoreThanMindControl in its place, since he's able to manipulate people into depravity not with power, just words. Even after being officially identified, Johan evaded capture for a long time, never staying in one place for long despite temples being allocated for him, all the while feeding crisis after crisis, corrupting the volatile and destroying lives by proxy, all under aliases and the assistance of more powerful deities unknowingly hoodwinked by him.
** Despite the above, Johan no longer has the protection of total anonymity; conversely, he has a reputation far and wide for being one of the most cruel, calculating and intelligent humans in fiction. Most records of him in the Pantheon can't be wiped or altered, and most deities he would ordinarily manipulate to purge this information are too powerful for him to kill and [[ImmuneToMindControl too mentally durable to manipulate]]. As such, after Kenzo Tenma's ascension, Johan retreated to rethink his plans and account for new developments, still seeking to break Tenma's faith in humanity for his own satisfaction.
** His twin sister Anna Liebert (now going by 'Nina Fortner') was brought in as his herald (shared with Tenma) to keep him at bay. [[MoralityPet The only human being in existence Johan shows a sensitive side to]], Nina is also the only person besides Tenma who can protect others from him. [[SubvertedTrope Johan is not above mind-raping her]] but try as he might, [[{{Forgiveness}} Nina will always forgive her brother for his many atrocities even if they were the last humans on Earth]]. As her sister, she's the only one who shares the same past as Johan. If anyone can understand him, it's her. In the Pantheon, she works as a part-time lawyer for the poor.
* After a long period off the grid with Tenma's arrival in the Pantheon, Johan made his first public appearance as one of the Four Horsemen, the top cabal of the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil. It is speculated that Melkor handpicked Johan over more powerful candidates because he requires the aid of a normal human[[labelnote:*]]Johan could hardly be called ''normal'', but he's decidedly the most ordinary of Melkor's top advisors.[[/labelnote]] to view things from their wretched perspective. Bafflingly, Johan ''is not plotting'' [[TheStarscream to overthrow Melkor]] like everybody else, as he correctly surmises that taking the top spot would mean unnecessarily grappling with other powerhouses in the ranks ({{Eldritch Abomination}}s, {{Physical God}}s, {{Reality Warper}}s, etc.) for control of the Alliance, which he has no defence for. Regardless, he's proven an excellent mediator of the violent inter-villain squabbling, largely through a combination of his charisma, [[TheDreaded reputation]], blackmail, [[ScrewTheRulesIHaveConnections connections]] and a bit of luck.
** As Melkor's top intelligence advisor, Johan has gained a reputation as the Dark Lord's "[[TheFixer fixer]]", handling murky dealings with two-bit criminals, serial killers, mortal crime families, and less important criminal organizations. Not only has this gained Johan a web of allies from all corners of the Pantheon, and secrets few others know of, it has also earned him the respect of lower-tier villains who see him as a beacon of hope that they will not be abandoned by the GUAE once their ultimate plans of conquest ([[TheBadGuyWins read: divvying up the Omniverse among their elite members once they win]]) get underway. Melkor's political czar Frank Underwood admits to being intimidated by him in his many fourth-wall breaking monologues, saying "a normal person who seeks gratification in destroying not only others but himself" is both reprehensible and frightening.
* That's not to say that Johan is blindly loyal to Melkor's ideals: far from it. Now that he has access to all corners of fictional creation, Johan sees it as an elaborate chessboard where he can move the infinitesimal number of pieces to his liking. Together with the Joker, he formed the Pantheon/GUAELiebertarianMovement[[labelnote:*]]he didn't pick the name, Joker did[[/labelnote]], a think-tank preaching the spread of eternal suffering and despair in all worlds rather than conquering them (the GUAE's main goal), "[[{{Pun}} Lieberty]]" if you will. Johan's circle is behind many successful projects that have hit the Pantheon/{{GUAG}} where it hurts. Their ideology however is unpopular with the leadership, especially among the LawfulEvil villains and those who stand to lose from the emotional destruction rather than conquest of the fictional Omniverse.
* Many {{Torture Technician}}s and master psychos like Hannibal Lecter and Vaas Montenegro find Johan pleasing company indeed, and someone who will cater to them by instantly finding perfect outlets for their self-gratification.
* Not that Johan is bitter about it. He's rather impressed by the torture Arael inflicted upon [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Asuka]] and its love of [[DarkAndTroubledPast bringing back]] [[AndIMustScream painful]] [[AFateWorseThanDeath memories]] on its victims... That is until it was discovered that Arael [[BlueAndOrangeMorality didn't have any malicious intent behind its actions]]. And worse, it mind raped Johan before leaving the GUAE. The jury is out on if Johan is actually bitter now, but those who know him say that he is.
** Is [[AmbiguousSituation best friends(?)]] with the Joker, playing the StraightMan to his AxCrazy. Villains and heroes alike call Johan "the Joker of Anime and Manga" and it's not hard to see why, given his compulsion to commit murder and corrupt the innocent on a whim. While the Joker is more likely to blow up a hospital for personal amusement, Johan either does so to achieve a specific goal or because it's all he knows how to do. One could flip a coin to decide whether they like or hate each other on any given day: either Joker's holding a gun to Johan's head while the latter is silently goading him to do it, or the two are playing cards like old friends while plotting their next kill.
** Nazis borderline worship Johan. A Neo-Nazi movement tried recruiting him as Germany's next Führer, [[EvilIsNotAToy and got wiped out for their troubles]]. This hasn't stopped other Nazi organizations from trying to gain his support because his East German-sponsored military background and one-of-a-kind childhood makes him a worthy successor to Hitler's mantle. Red Skull of HYDRA and the Major of Millennium are only the Nazis who joined the Liebertarian Movement, so many more at least appear to rally behind Johan's ideology. The Major in particular ''revels'' in Johan's wish to end the world with himself as the last living being before committing suicide, because that goal could very easily include the [[ForeverWar destructive, near-endless war]] that he so craves.
*** [[Pantheon/EstablishmentsAndInstallations Baron von Strucker even helped re-establish Kinderheim 511]] to create more people like Johan. Johan is less than pleased with this but for pragmatism's sake does nothing for the time being.
** As leader of the Movement, Johan excels in bringing out the best in its members, including the mercenary team Wild Hunt, and {{Enfante Terrible}}s Hänsel and Gretel. The twins trust Johan as a father figure since they share the passion of destroying human life and [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m8ar0zCDMK1qlxpopo1_1280.png disturbingly convincing cross-dressing]]. Originally hired to kill him, they quickly abandoned the idea when he accurately guessed which of them was male and female, instead killing their employer. On the other hand, the Diclonius Lucy is a very conflicted WildCard in the ranks depending on which persona she is in, with the 'Lucy/Kaede' faithfully serving Johan when she is needed and 'Nyu' actively trying to run away from him. It is rumoured that the DNA Voice inside Lucy's head is actually Johan taking in the form of a naked girl wrapped in bandages commanding her and the Diclonius to kill humanity.
* [[green:(modus operandi, why Johan is the truest example of Chaotic Evil)]]
** Then there was that time that Walter came across Johan Liebert while he was walking from the House of Sports after night out of bowling with the Dude. Continuing in his quest to erase all traces of his existance, Johan attempted to manipulate Walter in killing a certain Kenzo Tenma. Unfortunately for Johan, Walter, who had mistaken Johan for one of the German nihilistic delinquents that had accosted him back in his world and caused Donny's heart attack, wordlessly threw his bowling ball at Johan's chest, incapacitating Johan almost instantaneously, and then proceeded to bite Johan's ear off. Furious at the beatdown that he had suffered at Walter's hands, Johan has since been plotting an especially gruesome death that he has reserved for Walter.
* Quite possibly one of the richest (ordinary, unaltered) men in the Pantheon, amassing trillions of dollars through underground banks, paying criminals and mob bosses, divesting money-loving Pantheon moguls to torture them and of course, his handsome pay as a member of Melkor's Four Horsemen. Johan being Johan rarely throws his fortune around in obvious ways, instead choosing to invest in profitable ventures he believes will lead to "the betterment of humanity as he sees fit", including several unpopular Pantheon/{{GUAE}} projects which he has singlehandedly funded for his own insidious purposes. He also has a thing for buying up abandoned buildings in the Pantheon where bodies mysteriously turn up. [[SarcasmMode Nobody knows why. Nobody]].
* [[green:(Johan's weakness)]] I think he would exercise caution with them, considering that plenty of them dwarf him in terms of power and some wouldn't give him a chance to talk to them, they'd rather just try to kill him for bothering them if it's something they'd do. For all his MindRape powers, there is a reason that people still say there's AlwaysABiggerFish; after a attempt of using his powers to break Erma into despair with help from the Joker and Alex Mercer while using the GUAD's base for operation, [[MamaBear Alma, who has taken a liking to her]], barged into the alliance's stronghold, undid the changes and sent everyone into the Almaverse. [[NoodleIncident That's all the information he's willing to delve into]], and just by seeing a picture of either of the two ghost girls [[VillainousBreakdown tends to lead him into having a mental breakdown]]. [[LaserGuidedKarma Poetic, isn't it]]?
* [[green:(insert other villain interactions here)]] Malty S Melromarc is another sociopath who manipulates and ruins lives, but unlike Johan is not competent and lucky enough to weasel herself out of trouble. Dahlia Hawthorne is another manipulative sociopath who delights in ruining lives. even death couldn't stop her from trying to spite others. SCP-3000 is another being adept in MindRape, where being in close proximity to it can fuck up your memories and shatter your mind. Tomie Kawakami is another seemingly pleasant person who delights in ruining lives, she does so by luring and seducing men with her inhuman beauty and corrupting them. Something about Room 101; a room that mentally shatters people until they learn to love Big Brother (Winston, Julia, O'Brien)
** Thinks Light Yagami is nothing more than a third-rate genius who got too hasty [[AGodAmI playing god with forces he didn't understand]]. It doesn't help that they both sit directly across from each other at sessions of the Council of Shadows, which gives Johan plenty of time to give the young god-to-be a dose of "helpful" tips on how to use the Death Note. Light shrugs off his advice but secretly listens.
** Has a "we-don't-know-exactly-what" relationship with the uber-SlasherMovie killer, Michael Myers. Johan always points Michael in the direction of areas with convenient victims to kill, and in return provides the Shape with food and shelter so he can keep killing, true to his preference to sow chaos via proxy. Survivors among Johan's pawns who've seen the two together report an air of solemnness to Michael's movements around Johan, akin to a predator circling an enemy he can't kill. Michael's former psychiatrist Dr. Sam Loomis likens Johan to what Michael would be if he could talk and speak normally, living proof of why he is so [[ProperlyParanoid paranoid]] about the Boogeyman.
** Michael Myers is one of the very few individuals in the Pantheon to earn Johan's respect and even if this feeling is very difficult, if not, impossible to reciprocate due to Michael's otherworldly and uncontrollable nature, it does nothing to change Joan's perspective. The fact that Myers is additionally one of the very few to be ''completely immune'' to Johan's corruptive words adds another layer of admiration towards him as it convinces Johan that despite their totally different appearances in an exterior sense, they share a deep similarity in that they are unfettered, committed and revel in chaos, destruction, and discord under their own volition and for their own satisfaction. Their moral similarities have been noted by many, especially by survivors like Laurie Strode, who has been deathly afraid of Johan ever since she came to learn about him, and Doctor Loomis was aghast by the endless depravity and remorselessness that Johan is capable of, [[NotSoDifferentRemark clearly highlighting just how much he and Myers are morally in synch with one another]] and vowing to put an end to their madness one day.
--> '''Loomis:''' See? This unassuming man singlehandedly brought about a wave of murders and suicides, violent fascist movements worshipping him, and ruined whole societies in his wake, from a combination of charisma and [[HumansAreBastards man's proclivity to corruption and violence]]! '''This''' is what happens if you give pure evil an education and let it fester! The darkness in his eyes is the same as Michael's! There must be no mercy for them. They both must be put down, like the monsters that they are.
** Also, maybe an interaction with Lt. Colonel Arnold Berkman, perhaps? I'd definitely see Berkman, in all his selfish curiosity, take an interest in seeing what Liebert can do. It also helps that Berkman had also dealt with someone similarly Chaotic Evil as an ally, in this case Sophie.
** Even the aforementioned non-human villains find Johan endearing or at least a deeply alluring subject. Damien Thorn takes interest in how Johan is often compared to the AntiChrist (usually by the delusional, unstable or drunk) whereas he actually is one, but Johan personally sees Damien as a 'false god' to be disposed of[[labelnote:*]]whether Johan has religious beliefs or believes in (a) God's existence is anyone's guess[[/labelnote]]. ''Persona's'' Nyarlathotep is fascinated by how Johan's evil engenders unnatural reverence in all who meet him and stages bets with him regularly on minutae of the ForeverWar, like who the next one to fall to despair will be. Even Tzeentch prefers to not meddle in Johan's plans sometimes so he can "watch the inferno he sparks without knowing the outcome".
** [[green:Death Phantom]] For Johan Liebert, Wiseman[=/=]Death Phantom is another totally monstrous villain with ridiculous Mind Manipulation abilities.
** [[green:Yapool]] Yapool is a hive-mind like being whose goal is to spread despair and misery via manipulation, destruction and chaos. Liebert might see him as an ally or good company and Yapool would probably enjoy his cruelty, even if Yapool would just view him as a temporary ally.
** [[green:Littlefinger]] Would Johan and Petyr Baelish get along? Both are master manipulators.
* [[green:(insert hero interactions here)]]I wonder if he'd also be frustrated/baffled by other Cloudcuckoolanders like Luna Lovegood, Mako Mankanshoku, Rin Tezuka, Taokaka, and Kilian Experience. As for {{Hope Bringer}}s, Madoka Kaname and Makoto Naegi immediately come to mind.
** [[green:Tatsumi, Akame ga Kill text]]
** [[green:John Donovan]] Regarding Liebert, maybe enemies with John Donovan? Donovan has dealt with some equally vile organized criminals, and while the CIA agent himself is no saint, he has made it a point to help Lincoln Clay take down a lot of scum similar to Liebert. Mainly Klan members and even some serial killers working as Psychos for Hire under the Mob. I also expect Donovan to create a profile on Liebert. Photographs, intel, recordings, and all.
** [[green:Soviets]] Okay, after some reading, I think the Soviets would probably see Liebert as a threat. Given that many Neo-nazis idolized him. Still wouldn't stop Dragovich trying to "recruit" him into his circle of allies, given his alliance with Dr. Friedrich Steiner.
* [[green:Tenma]] Tenma still regards it as his mission to keep Johan's influence from spreading. This time though, not by killing him. Several counts of rape by the House of Pantheon/{{Emotion}} forced Tenma's hand as the perpetrator deliberately left symbols taunting others in the Pantheon known for [[SerialRapist serial rapings]], thereby riling them up and causing the issue to spread. Johan and Tenma finally faced each other in person in the gloom of a dark carpark as the [[Pantheon/{{Organizations}} TPPD]] pursued him. Tenma, about to admonish Johan for not respecting his third chance, froze as the Monster's [[DissonantSerenity eerily calm voice emanated]]. He disappeared in a flash of lightning, and as police came in, his words still rang in Tenma's mind:
--> '''Johan:''' ''Mata aimashita'', Doktor Tenma. Have you not realized that I do not seek a chance at life? I told you, that day in Ruhenheim, when you had your chance to get rid of your "Monster" for good? I seek death, either for me, or the billions around me. Where I go, I bring nothing but slaughter and devastation. That is the sole function that I walk this domain for. I now realize that I cannot make you understand. (''hint of a sneer'') We seem destined to do this forever. Or until one of us folds.
* One must remember that Johan, above all else, seeks emptiness. Whether that be through erasing all traces of his existence, killing or manipulating the unstable for seemingly no reason, or something else, '''nothing about him is absolute'''. And that is what makes him so terrifying.
* Also has a spot in the House of [[Pantheon/MindControl Mentalism]].
''“[[MotiveRant There’s nothing special about being born. Not a thing. Most of the universe is just death, nothing more. In this universe of ours, the birth of a new life on some corner of our planet is nothing but a tiny, insignificant flash. Death is a normal thing. So why live?]]”''

* Among the greatest trailblazers of the Universal Century, Earth Federation Forces officer Bright Noa rose from a lowly, [[EnsignNewbie cadet]] commanding a ragtag team of refugees to a war hero who mentored the era's best mobile suit pilots. Well-known for his [[GetAHoldOfYourselfMan signature smack]], Bright made up for that embarrassment with a great deal of ingenuity and perseverance in the face of a corrupt military which sought to [[ReassignedToAntarctica sideline him]] at every turn. For all of his sacrifices, Bright was never truly rewarded for his service to the Earth Federation. By the end of his career, he was [[BrokenAce completely broken]] when his eldest son was executed (unknowingly by his orders) as a terrorist [[TheScapegoat and he was laden with the blame as pro forma]]. With his ascension, Bright Noa now has a chance to do a productive job that actually brings about lasting peace, and, in the eyes of many, receive some much-needed credit. Be it the ''White Base'', the ''Argama'', or the ''Ra Cailum'', one can be assured that with the Eternal Captain in command, the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood is safe under his watch.
** Having just recovered from severe depression following his son's execution, Bright received a mysterious package with [[https://i.pinimg.com/originals/75/5f/0c/755f0c9bcfca141c9e410ad72888d28f.png the Seal of Cosmos on it]], signed by the Goddess of Harmony and Amuro Ray[[labelnote:''LAUNCH!!'']]Amuro ''intended'' to invite Bright in person, but feared the sudden appearance of a technically dead person in a public place with high surveillance would start a mass panic, and that an invitation Bright to meet him someplace else would be dismissed as a trap.[[/labelnote]]. Suspicious of the package's origins, Bright replied yes with a caveat: that further proof of the Pantheon's existence be beholden to him. [[BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor Cue being immediately yanked (read:teleported) to the Court of the Gods for ascension]], with Amuro present in his support. End of story, Bright got accepted, sent home to pack his things and talk the absurdity over with Mirai, and eventually ''did'' show up to the House of Pantheon/{{Emotion}} for duty, family in tow.
** Among his heralds are the aforementioned Mirai Yashima, his former deputy on the ''White Base'' who later became his wife and Cheimin Noa, his daughter. Bright famously keeps the names of his entourage under wraps, though some obvious names like Commander Meran (his [[NumberTwo deputy]]) come up. Mirai is nowadays a [[{{Housewife}} stay-at-home mom]], funded by her retirement pay from her days in the EFSF, but is well-liked in the area for hosting wonderful reunion parties for the crew of the ''White Base'' every half-year, if Amuro hasn't yet offered up his own temple for the occasion.
* [[green:relationship with Amuro, other Gundam pilots]]
** [[green:non-Universal Century pilots]]
** [[green:''Code Geass'']]
** [[green:Shinji Ikari, Gendo Ikari]]
* In contrast to his mortal life where he was sidelined for fear that he could use his influence with Newtype pilots (he mentored the primary Gundam pilots Amuro Ray, Kamille Bidan, Judau Ashta and in some capacity, [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Banagher Links]]) [[MilitaryCoup to stage a coup]], Bright is lauded in the Pantheon for promoting equality between Earthnoids and Spacenoids in the Earth Federation, battling corruption in the civilian government and defeating not [[Anime/MobileSuitZetaGundam one]], but ''[[Anime/MobileSuitGundamZZ two]]'' Zeon remnants and surviving both resulting wars. Among the earlier high-ranking military officers to enter the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood, Bright's advice proved instrumental in the buildup of the mecha fighting forces of the GUAG. In spite of little experience with non-human species, Bright's exemplary treatment of aliens under his command became a model for xenophobic officers of the Alliance not on board with the new situation to follow.
** He was commissioned in the GUAG at his highest military rank of rear admiral and appointed commandant of the Alliance's Space Force Academy, tasked with supervising the initial intake of officer cadets into the GUAG Space Force. A greenhorn when it came to the quirkier aspects of the mecha genre, like the often ludicrous powers of [[SuperRobotGenre Super Robots]] and the romantic hijinks of the [[BattleHarem harem mecha subgenre]], Bright found new allies among the faculty, namely Chifuyu Orimura and Sänger Zonvolt. {{Ace Pilot}}s in their home universes, Chifuyu shares Bright's no-nonsense yet caring management style whereas Sänger shares Bright's strong sense of honour and principle. The trio worked effectively to educate young pilots until Bright's departure to lead forces in combat two years later[[labelnote:''LAUNCH!!'']]The Space Force Academy would eventually be divided into separate school, with Chifuyu and Sänger becoming commandant and deputy commandant of the Robot War Division Instructional Academy, the specialty institution for aspiring mecha pilots.[[/labelnote]].
** Bright's transfer to assume his old command of the 13th Autonomous Fleet (his old flagship, the ''Ra Cailum'' having been refurbished), resulted in contact with various heavyweights, including his most trusted battle buddy outside of his universe, Juzo Okita. The captain of the legendary [=BBY-01=] ''Yamato'', Okita first met Bright while in the throes of a relapse of Planet Bomb Syndrome. At a bedside meeting with Okita, Bright saved him from an attack by pirates on the ''Yamato's'' medical wing (the fleet not yet being in a fully secure formation). Ever since, the two have stayed close friends, and Bright even persuaded him to re-enter full active duty in the GUAG, promising him all the needed assistance for his illness. [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsV In one of their many adventures together, they traded command ''twice'' based on mutual respect]].
** Okita pinned on Bright's new rank of vice admiral at his promotion ceremony alongside his wife Mirai. Bright was subsequently tasked with creating Task Force 79, a special-ops fleet meant as a test-run for GUAG intervention whenever Melkor's legions invaded other universes. The GUAE's overwhelming advantage in numbers (and a spy team sent to kill Bright) nearly doomed the idea, but the successful rout of a [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 Kraang fleet]] convinced Pantheon/GUAGCommand otherwise. In fact, the idea was so successful that all mecha forces were consolidated into the Pantheon/GUAGRobotWarDivision (RWD), with Bright as its first commander.
** A few years into the job, Bright received at his desk the shock of a lifetime, a personnel order promoting him to four-star admiral in gratitude for his contributions to mecha-based strategy in the Alliance. The promotion coincided with a deep reorganization of the RWD, with Bright being detailed to the Division's Space Force branch as their new commander, succeeding Okita. This also placed Bright as commander of the newly-formed GUAG Eighth Starfleet, the primary mecha-based space fleet of the Grand United Alliance of Good.
* Bright has formed strong working relationships with many heroic leaders in the Pantheon, bolstered by his reputation for hard, honest work, balance of idealism and pragmatism, ability to adapt to complex, changing situations (especially vital in the Pantheon) and most importantly, [[SternTeacher his ability to nurture young soldiers into exemplary adults]]. While few have a bad word to say about Bright's work ethic, many have issues with the way he conducts himself. Bright, still recovering from the ordeal with Hathaway, struggles to trust the unfamiliar denizens of the Pantheon. In comparison to the rampant corruption in the Universal Century, Bright contends with everyone from hardened, [[{{Dystopia}} dystopia born-and-bred]] {{Nominal Hero}}es and innocent, welcoming paragons of hope, so often that he finds it intensely aggravating to adjust his behaviour for every new deity he meets.
** [[green:Honor Harrington, fleet admiral, James T. Kirk]]
** While he's not above TrainingFromHell, Bright mixes this with caring and empathy and thus hates working with the man whose job it is to epitomize this in the Pantheon, Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. To Bright, Hartman is exactly the sort of abusive NCO that the Earth Federation prized: a spewing, unempathetic, unrelenting torturer who exists to turn his recruits into [[SociopathicSoldier killers]], not to mention driving a mentally-trouble Private Pyle to MurderSuicide. Despite some respect for Bright's war record, Hartman is critical of his penchant for slapping unruly soldiers ([[HypocriticalHumor obvious hypocrisy]]) and berates his nominal senior often about being too ready for reconciliation with "the space fascists" of Zeon. Nowadays, Bright's gotten wise enough to dismissively respond ''"That'll do."'' to Hartman's tirades and provide Hartman's recruits some relief when he makes a visit to Hartman's barracks.
** [[green:Gandalf, Anavel Gato]]
** [[green:Star Wars, Gial Ackbar, General Organa]]
** [[green:Pantheon/RedVsBlue]]
** A few months before, he [[ContrivedCoincidence just happened to be passing that exact facility]] when Robot War Division commander Bright Noa was making a routine perimeter check, was present to see Gato steal the Physalis from its vault, again dealing heavy casualties. He became a friend of the Eternal Captain this way too while dealing with the fallout, though Bright's straight-laced attitude does not mesh well with his chummy, CoolOldGuy demeanour.
** Has plenty of contacts in the House of Pantheon/LuckAndFortune. The most prominent of these is President of the United States Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a wartime leader who gave Bright a ShoutOut in one of his televised fireside chats, praising his involvement in the [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamUnicorn Laplace Conflict]] and management of Londo Bell. Roosevelt and many other patriots in said house find it fortunate that he got embroiled in ''five'' wars in the span of twenty years due to pure dumb luck. What can he say? Trouble seems to find him.
--> '''FDR:''' These conflicts might have ended in utter catastrophe if not for your superb leadership and soldiers, [[RankUp Admiral]]. You're a patriot more loyal than even your own [[TheFederation government]]! Not to write them off, but [[UsefulNotes/DwightDEisenhower Eisenhower]], [[UsefulNotes/GeorgeSPatton Patton]], [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chester_W._Nimitz Nimitz]], [[UsefulNotes/DouglasMacarthur Macarthur]] - they can't hold a candle to you. If you were under my command I'd gladly give you a Medal of Honor right here and now!
* In contrast to Amuro and even Char, Bright has never gotten used to the idea of being [[MemeticMutation memed about]], made fun of and [[BaseBreakingCharacter harshly criticized]] in equal measure by fans who've experienced him as a fictional character, including those of the ''Anime/GundamBuildFighters'' universe. He gives the deities of such universes, at least informally[[labelnote:''LAUNCH!!'']]Of course, Bright ''has'' to work with them when mutual GUAG matters come up. He doesn't actively scorn Fumina Hoshino or Sei Iori when they [[TheGlomp swarm him]], but it's clear that he's very uncomfortable with it.[[/labelnote]], a wide berth since he finds their incessant gushing about his trademark slaps irritating and wildly inaccurate. For one, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58pNa3o6F60 his original slap]] of the still-immature Amuro didn't turn him into a so-called "[[Anime/MobileSuitGundam0083StardustMemory man of destiny]]"; that happened much later. That said, Bright doesn't mind the company of Tatsuya Yuuki, the third Meijin Kawaguchi and more respectful Gunpla devotee who advises him often on using the Plavsky Particle for training simulations. The two also agree that even the best Gunpla Builders in the Pantheon shouldn't be drafted into actual mobile suit combat under any circumstances.
** [[green:Patton]]
* Due to his grueling military life, not to mention being caught up in several high-profile conflicts, he has a tough relationship with his family. Unlike Bright, who chose to attempt reform from the inside, his eldest son Hathaway, haunted by his experiences during [[Anime/MobileSuitGundamCharsCounterattack the Second Neo Zeon War]] chose the darker path of a RebelLeader, launching terrorist attacks on the rich and powerful of the Earth Federation to force political change. Eventually earning a death by firing squad unknowingly signed off on by his own father, Bright has a great sympathy for parents who have fraught relationships with their children, especially such relationships with deadly consequences.
** [[green:For Bright Noa, concerning with troubling father-son relationships, maybe you can mention Han Solo and Kylo Ren?]]
* Not surprisingly, the honourable admiral has no shortage of enemies.
** [[green:enemies, political hacks]]
** [[green:Grand Admiral Thrawn, Abelt Dessler, Khan]]
** [[green:For Bright Noa, when it comes to military officers, he might want to be wary of General Zod, who is a stout believer of Might Makes Right and is quite the extremist when it comes to seeing Kryptonians as the Master Race, alongside being someone who tends to see non-Kryptonians as beneath him. On an additional note, his Post-Crisis version had a shitty relationship with his son, Lor-Zod (the latter is currently Superman's herald). Lastly, some versions of Zod, especially the Pocket Universe version, wanted to kill off Humanity just to assert superiority.]]

* Despite having an elderly, mustachioed butler and being the world's greatest detective, he has never been seen in a room with Franchise/{{Batman}}.
* Tends to slouch in his chair because it increases his reasoning skills.
* Sometimes tend to mistake Lan Hikari for Light due to their similar [[Creator/BradSwaile voices]]. Lan in turn does his very best to behave around L.
* Has become acquaintanced with the {{Mangaka}}s Mashiro Moritaka and Akito Takagi (Ashirogi Muto) due to having the same creator, [[{{Expy}} Mashiro]] looking just like him and Takagi admiring the manga he comes from.
** Though he does have some conflicted feelings about Takagi in particular, who looks like Light ''and'' is a huge Manga/DeathNote fan to boot. Also, the very fact that his lookalike is best buds with the Light lookalike puts him on edge. But he will admit he isn't similar to Light, personality-wise.
* Was quite pleased when he found out Near ascended into a companion house, even more so that it was also in the same house be he and Light were in, meaning more eyes to keep track of him. [[spoiler: Also helps that Near also was the one who took down Light in the end. Is still confused if he used a Death Note or not to get Teru Mikami down to the warehouse, and has even asked the House of Knowledge's help for figuring it out. No direct answer has popped up yet.]]
* Was visited by Rem, [[spoiler:for killing him to protect Misa.]] He responded by admitting that there were no hard feelings felt during the time [[spoiler:due to them both being tricked by Light,]] and has promised to at least stop Misa from spending life in jail or being killed should she be caught. While she appreciates the sentiment, she prefers to have someone else arrest her.

* Complicated Relationship: [[Pantheon/{{Voices}} Dai Moroboshi]][[note]]aka Shuichi Akai[[/note]]
* Stays away from: House of Pantheon/{{Electricity}}
* You may never see Ai Haibara outside her temple. For months, a shadowy organization has been seeking her death for betraying them and won't stop until they've eliminated her and all who know of their existence. Until that organization has been crushed under the boot of the law, she'll remain in her temple, researching and creating an antidote to the deadly poison she unwittingly created[[labelnote:*]]The appellations of 'Shiho Miyano' and 'Ai Haibara' will be used interchangeably depending on what form she is in in the text[[/labelnote]].
* Shiho Miyano took over her parents' secret project after [[BlatantLies they died in an accident]], receiving education in the United States, serving the Black Organization from the age of thrteen under the codename 'Sherry'. She was marked for elimination after her sister Akemi was murdered by Gin and she boycotted her research in retaliation. Attempting suicide, she swallowed a hidden APTX 4869 pill only for it to shrink her down into a six-year old girl, just like with Shinichi Kudo a while back. In her smaller body, she escaped and fled for Shinichi's house but collapsed outside the residence of his neighbour, Professor Hiroshi Agasa who took her in even after realizing who she was. Now under the name of Ai Haibara and wanting to stay that way, she seeks to pursue the ordinary life her sister managed to have, find a cure for APTX 4869 to return Conan to being Shinichi and eventually take down the Black Organization for good.
** Haibara's ascension was shrouded in absolute secrecy as she was suspicious that the invitations to the Pantheon were a trap by the Organization. At Conan's insistence (he had been ascended a while back), she wrote back with a tentative 'yes' and the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases embraced her with open arms. For a long time, she was in a place where she didn't need to look over her shoulder for the possible Organization member aiming a gun at her. Some have jokingly lampshaded that there are far worse things than the Black Organization to fear in the Pantheon, and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath even more worse ways to go out]]. She is not amused.
* It was a while after that Professor Agasa arrived. A gifted scientist and jolly man, his gadgets have been lauded by UsefulNotes/{{MI6}} and other intelligence agencies in the Pantheon. Despite their actual ages, Haibara acts like a mother to him especially where his diet is concerned. Nevertheless, the Professor is the only person Haibara confides in besides Conan, and he in turn is very protective of her. If Haibara can't attend any sort of meeting with an acquaintance, Agasa will step in. This has piqued Gromit the Dog's interest, since he has to contend with Wallace's cheese obsession to the point of setting booby traps. He can't do much for her current situation, but they share a queer kinship. Wallace comments that if he'd taken a degree in pharmaceuticals, he would be able to give his two cents on a cure for APTX 4869.
* Conan Edogawa aka Shinichi Kudo is one of the first real friends she has ever had, or even the first person other than her sister that she has any real affection for. After years of being in a sterile research lab [[IJustWantToBeNormal where a normal life was nothing but a pipe dream]], this is understandable. [[VitriolicBestBuds For all their bickering]], Conan and Haibara share a close bond that they can't have with anyone else given that they were both shrunk by APTX 4869 and share the same level of intelligence. Haibara once had a crush on him, but this quickly disappeared when she realized that he had eyes for Ran and ''[[SingleTargetSexuality only]]'' Ran. Since she's moved on, she's rather hostile to any efforts by the fans to ship her and Conan, more so because [[DieForOurShip they clamour for Ran's death]].
** However, they have serious trust issues where the Black Organization is concerned. Whenever Conan stumbles on a case related to the Organization, he almost never shares said information with Haibara. Likewise, Haibara has never been 100% honest with Conan on what she knows. In fact, she's known that the Organization's boss is [[spoiler:Renya Karasuma]] for a long time but has neglected to share that secret. Ultimately, both do this for the sake of each other's safety and discourage the other from acting rashly.
* If Conan is her best friend[[labelnote:*]]the only friend she can truly confide in anyway[[/labelnote]], Ran is her honorary CoolBigSis. Initially cold towards her because she reminds her strongly of her deceased sister Akemi, this has warmed into a fierce desire to protect her. Likewise, when she first ascended, Ran wanted to be with her to ensure her safety at all costs, not wanting to see her get hurt like [[https://www.detectiveconanworld.com/wiki/Head-to-Head_Match_with_the_Black_Organization:_A_Dual_Mystery_on_a_Full_Moon_Night last time]]. While appreciative of the gesture, she'd rather not be in her constant company as the nature of her ascension could blow [[OlderThanTheyLook her greatest secret to Ran]]. Agasa is enough for her to handle.
* When he heard about her ascension, Conan had hopes that Haibara would use other antidotes in the Pantheon to more swiftly concoct a permanent antidote for APTX 4869, even suggesting experts in the Pantheon that could collaborate with her. She kindly but firmly refused, stating that she prefers to work alone using her own methods, and would do ''anything'' to keep Conan of stealing the antidotes and using them irresponsibly. [[ProperlyParanoid She doesn't want to risk the chances of him worsening the effects every single time he uses one, even if he used it for "important emergencies"]], causing him to groan in disappointment and give up. There's also the problem of how exotic the variety of drugs, serums, poisons, potions, antidotes are in the Pantheon, and she worries that factoring in ingredients from magical, extradimensional and alchemical sources could completely derail her research.
* Haibara's terrible treatment by the Organization, especially after her sister's death, has earned her a lot of pity from several deities, and her own fury towards others.
** She gets along swimmingly with the Baudelaire Orphans since both lost their parents at a young age and are connected to shadowy organizations their parents are members of (with Haibara also being a member). They pity how the Organization's reliance on her [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation caused her to be isolated]] before she gained her own friends as Haibara. She has similar sentiments towards them, especially pitying them for being chased by Count Olaf in much the same way as she is by the Organization. Out of all the siblings, she is closest to Klaus since both share the same level of intelligence and a well-rounded knowledge of a lot of subjects, not to mention a pessimistic outlook on life as a result of their upbringing. One of her side ventures is e a cure for the Orphans' fast-acting peppermint allergy.
** As stated above, she is happy being a child and would rather remain a child, since her life since being shrunk is far better than before. Moreover, she views it as a new lease on life [[SetRightWhatOnceWentWrong for her to rectify her past errors as an Organization member]]. Even so, she wouldn't cherish Alessi's power to de-age people to toddlers.... or foetuses depending on how long they were affected. It also doesn't help that he is a psychopath who is ''[[WouldHurtAChild okay]]'' [[WouldHurtAChild with hitting children]], causing her to stay away from him much more.
** Hearing about what happened to her, Toriel wanted to give her comfort stating that everything is going to be okay. Just like with Ran, Toriel easily reminds her of her dead sister, which unsettled her at first, but eventually caused her to easily warm-up to her and forge a friendship. Likewise, Frisk wants to befriend her, hopes that she'll live a happy life as Haibara, and tries to encourage her to warm-up to others to gain more friends. Haibara is comfortable with her small circle of friends, though she appreciates Frisk's support.
** Ended up meeting Cream after she and Conan were solving a murder case involving Dr. Eggman[[labelnote:*]]Turns out TheButlerDidIt.[[/labelnote]]. Cream's naivety, curiosity, and kindness easily reminds her of her other best friend, Ayumi Yoshida, which is why she notably warmed up to her quicker than any other Pantheon deity. As to be expected, [[RunningGag Cream feels bad]] for Haibara upon hearing that she is an orphan and has no biological family left, but is relieved to hear that she is happier living her life as a child. Because of the personality resemblance, Haibara allows Cream to call her by her first name, although she wishes that the latter would drop the "Mrs." act whenever they encounter each other.
* Most of the House of Pantheon/{{Science}} value her as an honorary colleague, even [[VillainRespect some of the evil-aligned ones]], considering that she managed to create a drug capable of being a poison and a de-aging serum at the same time. The evil-aligned ones, especially Ryoma Sengoku, a member of SHOCKER and ally of the Organization, lament at how she has wasted her potential by leaving the Organization and halting any chance of perfecting the ideal APTX 4869, more so not wishing to be involved anymore. The House of Science are interested to hear how Haibara developed a drug that could be a lethal poison and also served as a way for people to de-aged. The evil deities there think it's a waste that she doesn't want to be an evil person anymore because hearing of her capabilities, they believe she could achieve more than what she had developed, which Haibara doesn't want to be involved with. The good deities there are glad that she's now in the side of them with some of them lending a helping hand on helping her on developing the permanent antidote and wished that she could work with them in the future for future projects that could be for the greater good, which Haibara refused as she thinks that she works best using her own methods, something that they understood.
* While Haibara is a big fan of fashion, most of the time, she mostly focuses on accessories. She tends to visit the House of Accessories to see what kind of accessories they have. While Rarity respects this, she wishes that Haibara would focus on other fashion trends, stating that she could be a good model if she does focus on the fashion industry as a whole, which Haibara halted on as she would rather focus on what she wanted.
* While she doesn't really play soccer, she is a big fan of the sport itself and although she accompanies the Detective Boys of the matches of Tokyo Spirits, she is rather a huge admirer of Big Osaka and obsessed over it's star, Hyusuke Rigo. While they don't mind about it, some of the deities are confused why someone who lives in Tokyo would support an opposing team in Osaka, but of course Haibara never listens and tells them to stop minding her business.
* Haibara is a huge animal lover and doesn't like it if animals are being hurt. As such, she gets along with Fluttershy and occasionally visits her temple to take care of her animals. She is impressed with her ability to become friends with all living things in general and jokes that she could turn the BO into pacifistic people, even if saying it uneases her. Although she is a little bit put off by her apologetic demeanor, it doesn't strain their relationship.
* Even though she knows the strategy of not being shocked by electricity thanks to Conan, she still stays away from the Electricity sub-house as she strongly dislikes being shocked. Considering the deities of the Pantheon's capabilities, it's much more reasonable why she stays away from them more often.
* Has managed to acquire the services of Sento Kiryu/Kamen Rider Build in helping with finding a cure to APTX 4869. Many deities were surprised and interested in seeing how far progress has been going ever since the two teamed up.

* Enemies: corrupt law enforcement, [[Pantheon/{{Thieves}} Felicia Hardy/Black Cat]].
* Special Relations: [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Conan Edogawa]]
* Not to be confused with: [[Pantheon/AntiHeroes Kaito Kumon]]
* Kaito Kuroba is a normal teenager with a normal life. At least, that was the case until he found out that his deceased father Toichi was a notorious thief known as Kaito Kid. With his father's murderers out to get a mysterious gem that can grant immortality, Kaito Kuroba takes on the identity of Kaito Kid in order to stop the organization from going any further with their goals. Since Kaito is a skilled illusionist, it would only make sense for that to translate into his heists, resulting in some unorthodox, yet impressive trickery. There's other forms of trickery that he does in his heists as well, such as disguising himself as another person (and yes, he can match that person's voice very well).
* The House of Justice received a notice that the Chaos Emeralds were going to get stolen from the Great Treasury}. There was a bit of surprise that Dr. Eggman wasn't going to be involved with that, but the various police officers and law enforcement decided to station themselves at the Treasury to make it less likely that the items in question get stolen once the potential thief arrives. Unfortunately, the officers found out that the thief already made their way inside and they had to rush to where the emeralds were at. The emeralds weren't present, but the officers could see a white hang-glider in the distance, prompting them to chase the thief. The thief was able to get away, much to the consternation of law enforcement.
** Following that ordeal, there was a bit of surprise when it was discovered that the emeralds were returned to the Treasury. Eyewitness reports about the heist in question mentioned that an assortment of magic tricks was involved and that someone called Kaito Kid was responsible for all of it, including the "returning the gems" part. Law enforcement has made it a point to catch that Kid whenever he strikes again, mostly due to the notices that he sends out.
* Of the various officers and detectives that are pursuing him, Kaito finds Inspector Zenigata to be quite amusing. Kaito is often reminded of Ginzo Nakamori, who has always targeted Kaito Kid and failed at it, whenever he's trying to avoid getting arrested by Zenigata and even finds the two to be similar in some aspects, right down to the "good at cases that don't involve their number-one target" bit.
** While he has a decent number of recurring pursuers, there were some that he took plenty of issue with. Specifically, he has problems with the corrupt law enforcers as he felt that even if he told them his reasons for his thefts or the fact that he returns the items after a heist is over since they aren't what he's looking for in the long run, they wouldn't care about it nor his affable demeanor and just want him arrested or worse.
* If he isn't going out performing heists as Kaito Kid, then Kuroba is probably hanging out with other magicians such as Oscar Diggs, someone who has used his profession for unconventional purposes. Zatanna Zatara and Dorothy Albright have also used their magic tricks outside of the stage. There is a possibility that there a collaboration between them is in development, though if it does indeed happen, whether or not it will be for a larger purpose remains to be seen.
* He found a kindred spirit in Bugs Bunny, as they're both tricksters (though Bugs is a bit more selective on who to target) and known to disguise themselves as other people (though Kaito put a lot more effort in that regard compared to the wabbit). Weirdly enough, [[Creator/KappeiYamaguchi Kaito discovered that he didn't have much difficulty imitating Bugs' Japanese voice]].
* Kaito isn't fond of traditional guns, so he instead relies on a gun that can fire playing cards. This also makes him a bit more distinct from other thieves; thus if "Kaito Kid" is using an actual gun instead of his playing card gun, then it's not the real Kaito Kid that's making his escape. While some deities that are known to weaponize cards find it amusing to some degree, others feel that it's not a practical weapon to use during heists.
* For some inexplicable reason, Kaito has a strong fear of fish and has been trying to avoid a lot of marine animals as much as he can, especially if they are threatening such as [[Pantheon/{{Beast}} Bruce the Shark]]. The fear is bad enough that he winces a bit whenever he's provided seafood and tries not to eat such a food. He gets along well with [[Pantheon/FriendshipDynamics Tohru]] because of it (although many gods find it ironic that Tohru, with the body of a sumo wrestler, can't stand fish).
* Naturally, Kaito has come to learn of a slew of other thieves in the Pantheon. He finds the majority of them to be interesting rivals should he cross paths with them during his heists.
** He actually heard about Lupin III beforehand, especially since that thief managed to disguise himself as Kaito Kid whilst Kaito Kuroba was watching the antics from the sidelines. Kaito was able to get back at him afterwards by stealing something that Lupin III was after before the latter arrived. The two are engaged in a somewhat friendly competition to see who can pull off more daring capers successfully.
** The one thief that Kaito has a pronounced dislike towards is Felicia Hardy. While she has been both good and evil at different points in time, her going full-on evil and relying on a criminal organization to handle dirty work for her has gotten him rather unnerved. Even though Kaito can be a bit devious at times, he wouldn't try to put others at significant harm on purpose. While Black Cat doesn't really see Kaito as a threat, he has been keeping an eye on her in case the two were to come in direct conflict with each other.
* Being skilled with disguises (though that only happens if the need arises), Kaito has gotten into a bit of a rivalry with other deities proficient in that field, which also included a couple of thieves. While The Spy is not a thief, his untrustworthiness is notable enough to a point where Kaito is very suspicious whenever The Spy has any involvment whatsoever during any of Kaito's heists.
* Even though he wasn't that surprised to hear about Conan Edogawa being in the Pantheon considering that they have crossed paths a number of times in the past, Kaito finds the detective to be a worthy adversary given the skills established by such (and Conan has acknowledged Kaito's own skills). That said, they're pretty amicable towards each other even if they're trying to outwit each other.

Has allied with [[Pantheon/{{Craft}} Dethklok]], officially to kill off opponents during their concerts, but has gotten used to their music. (Under their earthly avatar "Bloody Valentine.")
* Zhuge Liang, the Sleeping Dragon, is merely biding his time... That or his wife is keeping him from taking the job for fear of his working himself to death again.
* Has manipulated [[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities Ichigo and Ryuk]] into representing "different" views of the afterlife (or lack of). The fear of death can be used to change society; and it's the "unknown" of death that causes the fear. If even the gods can't agree...
* Disgruntled at Popeye for only selling spinach, not potato chips that he can eat ''epically''. And that he can't write his name on the Death Note because the power of Death Note is compelled with the power of spinach (he tried once).
* Hatched a plan to twist the look of [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Simon Belmont]]. It succeeded, now Simon looked like him and Light hoped to use him as a necessary scapegoat whenever necessary.

He doesn't think highly of Light's AGodAmI as for him, [[ChurchGoingVillain there's only one God and He isn't Japanese]]. Light appreciates the support, but feels he's often too zealous.
* Is ''not'' related to Iori Yagami (their surnames are also written differently in Japanese to drive the point home). However, some can't help but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxDJIpwHAPc laugh at this.]]
* Has become sort-of allies with the {{Mangaka}}s Mashiro and Takagi (Ashirogi Muto) due to sharing creators and Takagi looking just like him and admiring his story. At the very least, he doesn't feel like he will need to write their names on the death note at the moment.
* Attempted to get Kurapika on his side by approaching him and offering to help him on his quest by killing off the Phantom Troupe, but Kurapika had already learned of his reputation and deeds (not to mention that Light [[Creator/MamoruMiyano sounded almost exactly like]] the leader of the Troupe, which did not help matters), and shut him down when Light was in the middle of saying "Hey th-". Not only did Kurapika refuse his help (because [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou avenging his clan was his quest and his alone]]), but he also asked him not to speak to him ever again. Naturally, this offended Light greatly.
* Was really angry to find out that Eliza Reagan properly ascended into the Pantheon after believing himself to be free from having to constantly bail her out. While she no longer wants him to protect her, the kind of person [[RichBitch Eliza]] is [[EvenEvilHasStandards makes Light feel sick]].
* Has no idea [[Pantheon/{{MindGames}} Near]] ascended properly into the Pantheon. No one is really rushing to tell him.
** One day, however, while the lights were being reinstalled, Light managed to catch a glimpse of Near and chased him down to confirm his suspicion of him actually ascending. He was just about to write his name down right in front of him, only to suffer from a heart attack. After re-awakening in the house of Life and Death, he was '''horrified''' to find out the Rem herself did the deed, ascended proper herself, and was '''''furious''''' at Light for [[spoiler:shortening Misa's life span deep enough to get her killed via suicide,]] promising her services to L, Near and Mello to keep him under control. Light is now faced with the prospect of ascending Misa herself to try and get Rem to work for her again, which he ''really'' hates the idea of.
*** He became an even bigger mess after his own father ascended [[spoiler:post death, learning the truth behind his son's actions]]. He has since been pacing back and forth anxiously, [[JerkWithAHeartOfJerk worried he may have to kill his father again]].
*** Now that Misa herself ascended, he tried to get her to convince Rem to work with him. In terms of bad news, she declined after she caught wind of [[spoiler:[[EvenEvilHasStandards him killing his father for his own gain, as well as in full detail how he tricked Rem into dying for her.]]]] Good news for him, she ''is'' willing to still aide him by trying to get rid of the House of Crime from the inside out. He'll have to take what he can get.
*** All this said, given on just how evil people can be in the Pantheon, Rem is willing [[TeethClenchedTeamwork (albeit barely)]] to work with Light to keep the Pantheon safe for Misa against deities [[EvilerThanThou that they both see as evil]].
* Recently [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQe4H7dgvbU tried to kill]] [[Pantheon/GeneticEngineering Cell]]. The key word there being "tried". Light has since decided to steer clear of the bio-android.
* Was once stalked by the Laughing Salesman, who decided to help him with his dream of becoming the new head of the house of Pantheon/{{Justice}} to further his goals of spreading justice, arresting plenty of people who he sees as evil, especially Near, L and Mello. However, this led to him eventually deciding to arrest Moguro, realizing he committed several crimes in his homeworld. [[TranquilFury The salesman wasn't that amused and decided to DON Light into not only taking away his Death Note's ability to actually kill people,]] [[LaserGuidedKarma but also cause a prison riot with Ryuk even writing it down, sick of Light treating him as superior to a god of Death.]] Ryuk gave him a new Death Note, but was able to also jump up to Greater Godhood after this, as well as threatening the Court Of The Gods.
* Light in jail and teaches everybody swimming joke [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GNqQ7N5aAM Reffy idiot]]

* Ryoma Sengoku is an amoral scientist who has no concern about the lives of others, which he uses them as his test subjects for his research, just to achieve his goal of grasping the Forbidden Fruit in order to become a godly figure. He was first introduced as a close associate to Takatora Kureshima as they work in a secret project called the "Project Ark" while he's researching on the Helheim Forest which leads to the creation of Lockseeds and Sengoku Drivers. However, he made a point that he will fulfill his own ambition by betraying Takatora after he was distraught of Takatora's decision of saving humanity as a priority back in the past, before successfully usurped the Yggsdrasill Corporation for his own plans. Any doubt about his place was later put to rest after he leaked information of the political powers who were involved in Project Ark to the press, allowing him to pursue the fruit of knowledge as he pleased while the World Leaders took all the blame. After the destruction of the Over Lord Inves and his failed attempt to grasp the Forbidden Fruit completely, he finally met his end after receiving a vicious beatdown at the hands of Kaito Kumon, [[spoiler: who became the Over Lord known as Lord Baron, and [[DisneyVillainDeath falling to his doom]]. However, he [[BackFromTheDead was revived by Megahex as a cyborg]] with the impression of "achieving his goal as a godly figure" until he is finally [[KilledOffForReal killed off]] by Takatora Kureshima in their final showdown]].
* Although he died in two occasions, Ryoma seems to be satisfied after he found himself in the pantheon, believing that he became a real god. However, he's not the only one as most of his enemies from Zawame are also present was well. He also seems to be aware that he will gain alot of enemies with various heroes in the pantheon after he started his research on their capabilities while some of them just hates his guts for different personal reasons. For him, his death in the mortal world is just the beginning.
** His attitude as a MadScientist has made him an enemy to every good-aligned scientist as they cited all of his atrocities he made in the name of science, this is the reason why he got banned from the House of Technology in the first place.
** He also gained two rivals in the form of Houka Inumuta and Edward Richtofen, as the former is known of collecting data to improve the Goku Uniform is similar to his job of improving his inventions via data collecting while the latter is also a mad scientist who has the same psychopathic attitude just like him.
* After he heard the presence of the terrorist organization SHOCKER, he decided to join in their cause for [[TakeOverTheWorld world domination]] in order to analyze the data of all heroes in the Pantheon, especially the Kamen Riders, as a means to create a countermeasure against them. His role as a employed member of the organization is to create more Sengoku Drivers and Matsubokkuri Lockseeds to their Shocker Combatmen, which allows them to transform into Kurokage Troopers.
** While he quite gets along with his fellow SHOCKER employed members, he is not fond of working with Lord Djibril at all as he cited Djibril's idiotic actions have cost SHOCKER some battles against various heroes in the Pantheon.
* Ryoma handpicked Nine Barthes as his High Priest after Nine impressed him with the Embody System, an invention that would allow the controller to MindRape a subject to follow commands and increase the subject's reflexes. Needless to say, Ryoma's decision quickly made him Enemy No. 1 for Gunpla fighters Aila, Reiji, Sei, and Team TRY Fighters.
** Due to his association with Nine Barthes, Ryoma is willingly contribute his research to the Mecha Cohort to strengthen their robots for evil. Due to this, he became bitter enemies with Marida Cruz, and by extent, the rest of the Gundam Corps.
* He knows many of the Riders' tricks of the trade and adapts quickly to adjust, from installing hologram projections to providing a killswitch to prevent rivals from using a Genesis Driver to transform. Kouta and Takatora both warned the GUAG about Ryoma's cunning given how much grief he gave them.
* Ryoma's pursuit to becoming a god have put both Sayaka Miki, Shinji Ikari, Isaac Clarke, Ichigo Kurosaki, and Setsuna F. Seiei on full alert. Aware of the dangers of facing an opponent using the Genesis Driver, Isaac is working overtime to craft the weapons he, Ichigo, Shinji, Setsuna, and Sayaka, need to stop this dangerous threat.
** Ryoma is currently working on a universal kill switch that will destroy all transformation devices, even non-technological ones. Because of this, every [[HenshinHero transforming heroes]] and {{magical girl}}s considers him a threat.
* Due to his desire to become a god by any means, he gets along with other deities with god-complex mentality like Albedo Piazzolla, Sosuke Aizen, and Orochimaru. Rumors that they are starting to work together to achieve omnipotent power so that no one would stand in their way.
* Mitsuzane will never forget the time Ryoma [[spoiler:killed Mai [[XanatosGambit behind his back after the latter manipulated him to kill Kouta]]]]. However at this point, he learned that Micchy managed to get out from the Purgatory after he managed to regain his good reputations among the Toku heroes. Ryoma will find a way to crush him if the right time comes.
* Ryoma really opposes Lock Dealer Sid and Kougane due to two reasons, as the former betrayed ''him'' in an attempt to claim the Forbidden Fruit for himself and the latter [[spoiler:killed his alternate self from the soccer world after he broke the artificial forbidden fruit's seal]].
** He is somewhat being opposed by Sou Fueki, Homura Akemi, and Tomoko Nozama, for three reasons: Fueki [[EvenEvilHasStandards has a negative opinion]] regarding of his LackOfEmpathy towards everything, Homura is just seemed not to like him for his pursue of becoming a god, and Tomoko sees him as no different to any evil riders in general.
* He became close allies with Johan Liebert, the Trollkaigers, Kyubey, Monokuma, and Junko Enoshima, due them having a mutual interest of seeing the likes of [[HopeBringer Madoka Kaname, Makoto Naegi, Kouta Kazuraba]] as a great threat to their plans.
* While he managed to create three new Sengoku Driver prototypes, along with three new Lockseeds, as suggested by [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} Melkor]], Ryoma was [[spoiler: utterly pissed off after one of the [[GrandTheftPrototype new Sengoku Driver prototypes and his new Lockseeds were stolen]] by Iron Man]]. Which in turn, Ryoma swears he will get his revenge against him.
** Since he had two more prototypes left, Ryoma change his plans by modifying one of the prototype driver with the Genesis Core attached to it while creating new Lockseeds based on [[spoiler: Gaim Yami's]] data, as well as creating another Yomotsuheguri Lockseed since he found an [[spoiler: [[Pantheon/{{Vengeance}} ideal candidate]]]] for this purpose. He also gave some newly-made drivers and Lockseeds to [[spoiler: Enoshima, Sugou, and the Reagan siblings]] as well, as a means to collect data against their respective adversaries in their battles, not to mention that they want revenge on their foes which is the reason why he gave the drivers to them in order to fulfill their personal goals.
* Was briefly fascinated and amused by the arrival of the hero Kamen Riders from the world of Build, interested at the idea of them [[spoiler: using Evolt's own gathered energy to create a whole new world]], at times [[{{Troll}} holding this fact over the alien's head]]. All of Ryoma's amusement went of the window when he learned that Sento Kiryu [[WordOfGod has been acknowledged as having the highest IQ of all of the Heisei Kamen Riders]], something that ''really'' [[InferioritySuperiorityComplex gnaws at the high self-esteem of someone like Ryoma.]] Their most recent conversation didn't help:
--> '''Ryoma:''' [[BreakThemByTalking What exactly makes you think you, someone with no memory or identity to truly call his own, is smarter than me? How can you lay claim to to anything that I myself cannot replicate in a superior matter when all you know has been hand crafted by someone to mold the perfect pawn? What fact can you state that makes it clear the difference that sets you above me?]]
--> '''Sento:''' [[ShutUpHannibal Oh, its simple really:]] [[spoiler:[[ArmorPiercingResponse I lived. You died.]]]]

* Annoyed at: ''[[Pantheon/TheatricPerformers Kaito Kid]]''
* The karate champion as well as the captain of the martial arts club of Teitan High, Ran Mouri is the {{childhood friend}} and {{love interest}} of Shinichi Kudo. While going on a trip to Tropical Land, Shinichi left her behind stating that he missed something inside the rollercoaster trip. That is until she went to Shinichi's home, thinking he is already home, only that she could never find him and encountered Dr. Agasa and a kid that she didn't recognize. The latter introduced himself as Conan Edogawa, with Ran taking an interest on the kid and wanted him to stay on her home where it is also where her father's detective agency came from. Now, she is helping her father solve crimes and cases whenever they encounter one, unaware that Conan is the one that solve all the cases and that he is Shinichi Kudo.
* She was chosen to ascend not only because it seems that either she or someone else will remind someone she is a karate captain, whether or not they are in a dangerous situation, but also that [[spoiler:she finally responded to Shinichi's love confession by kissing him on the cheek]]. Upon meeting Conan in the Pantheon, they were both surprised to meet each other, and she didn't expect him to have already ascended before she. Fearing that Ran will find out his identity soon, the Court of Gods set up a mandate to keep Conan's identity as Shinichi a secret from her until she discovers it by herself.
** Given how…badly he's kept the secret from several others, despite having successfully sabotaged Ran's progress to finding him out several times, a lot thought that this mandate was stupid and that there should be some sort of middle ground as to what she knows of Conan that will stay in the Pantheon and not follow to the mortal realm. However, due to the threat of the Black Organization[[labelnote:*]]for all they know, it or some of its members are followers in the Pantheon, and even if DeathIsCheap, Conan is paranoid like that [[FridgeLogic even if a lot of deities know who he is without ending up in the Organization's sights]][[/labelnote]], and given how many others have already made it to the Pantheon even ''before'' ascending if they ever do, this mandate will stay in effect, but can be re-negotiated to Conan at a later date. [[spoiler:The Black Organization is now actually here]].
* A former follower of Liam/Angel, he is happy to see the day that one of his followers got to ascend. She is happy to see him and hopes that he will do his best to atone his mistakes. She tries to give him advice when it comes to detective work that she learned from constantly hanging out with Shinichi and her father as he decided to become a detective and hopes he will be a successful one. Liam nonetheless appreciates the advice she gave him as he is far better at fighting demons than solving mysteries.
* She finally got to meet Shinichi's inspiration, Sherlock Holmes. She's somewhat happy to see that Shinichi isn't in the Pantheon, as while she does hold Holmes huge respect, she doesn't like the idea of hearing Shinichi rambling everything about him. She wanted to thank Holmes for being such an inspiration to Shinichi in his choices and possible career path, and that he became what he is today. During their first meeting, she asked him if he knows where her friend is, which he responded that he will tell her someday.
** Considering that she is considered the Watson to Shinichi's Holmes, she was visited by John Watson. They do find some CommonalityConnection in that they both tend to ask questions to their respective partners when in comes to cases (although Ran started to do this less often, it's still there) and that they can be both protective of them by using their respective combat skills. She also feels bad to see how much he got {{flanderiz|ation}}ed by current society, and noted that she hopes he will feel better someday and hopes that his wife, Mary Morstan, will ascend someday, considering that she died before Holmes returned, and hopes that they'll find true happiness along the way.
* As a karate champion, she wanted to know if there are any people that knows the art. This is when she met Makoto, who practices a style of karate called rindo-kan karate. She is curious to see what are the difference between her style of karate and Makoto's. The two respect and bonded with each other because of this and found that fighting each other is one of the most thrilling experiences that they ever have, with Makoto liking Ran even more for how kind and respectful personality combined with how considerate she is to her loved ones. In Ran's perspective, she thinks that Makoto's too serious and needs to calm down a little.
* She respects the Investigation Team for being able to solve the murders of Inaba by themselves despite the dangers of doing it, but she connected with Chie the most. They are both martial artists, have fears of the horror genre, with Ran encouraging her decision of becoming a police officer. Her thirst for eating also reminds Ran of Genta at times, and tries her best to teach Chie how to expand her cooking skills along with Yukiko and Rise.
** Other Persona users she had the privilege of meeting that are tough like her are Akihiko Sanada and Makoto Niijima. She bonded with the former for their protective instincts from the people they love and being stubborn about it and their obliviousness of how the opposite sex attracted them. For the latter, she bonded with her thanks to her friendship with Sae Niijima. She felt bad that losing her father causes her to lose her passion as a police officer, which was eventually revived later on and also what she's been through, such as the rumors that she got as a student council president, being blackmailed, and being called useless to the point that it got her so much desperation to prove her usefulness. She also admires her sense of justice and hopes for the best for her.
* She isn't happy to see that Kaito Kid is a Pantheon god as he had rendered her unconscious once and disguised as her. He had also tried to kiss her when she thought that he was Shinichi. Kaito Kid didn't think that she would actually ascend, although he is spying on her using his dove whenever Conan asks him what she is doing around her day.
* Her father is a police officer, and still works closely with his former co-workers despite his irritating attitude and questionable idiocy. As such, she respects the law enforcement, but special mention goes to Lei Wulong and Chun-Li, not just because of their practice of martial arts, but also because they are competent in their job as police officers, which reminds her of cops like Detective Sato. She wanted to thank them that there are officers like them and that they try to make the world a better place.
** She also respects Renee Montoya from those same reasons (minus the martial arts). When she heard that she got accused of murder, she sympathized with her as her father and her old captain also have gone through the same thing. She was also horrified to see that Renee's parents disowned her for being a lesbian. She's happy to see she got better from those experiences and hopes she will live a better life.
* Her mother is a professional lawyer and is nicknamed the "Queen of the Courtroom", thus she has huge respect to those that are lawyers with a sense of justice. Hearing about this, she met lawyers like Phoenix Wright, whom she respected because he has a huge sense of justice to the point he would rather have a client who actually committed a crime get a guilty verdict, although she thinks that he should have better deduction skills. She also got to meet Sae Niijima, who is happy to see her change of heart, developing a better sense of justice, and that she was able to reconcile with her sister ([[NamesTheSame incidentally also named]] [[Pantheon/{{School}} Makoto]]), something that she wished that would happen to her father and mother, who were separated at the time being.
** That said, she truly hates those a that are corrupted, which is the case with Manfred von Karma. She's disgusted to see that is able to convict innocent people with a guilty verdict, how he horribly educated his own children, and that he killed the father of his adoptive son just to keep a perfect record. She hopes to see the day that he will get karma when the time comes.
* One of her former teachers was a FBI agent, so she was curious to see if there are any that fit that job description. Meeting Will Graham and Clarice Starling, she is amazed at their empathy of criminals, she ended up pitying them hearing that they had been through against Hannibal Lecter, with Will becoming a literal drunk, and that one of their counterparts [[spoiler:ended up running away together with the serial killer]].
** There's also [[Pantheon/{{Speech}} Peter Burke]], even if his division is more specialized for {{white collar crime}}s, though she was a bit conflicted at first with his partner [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork Neal Caffrey]] (an ex-criminal) before learning of his backstory and acknowledging that he really wants to make things right.
* She cares a lot about children and will go to great lengths to protect them. As such, almost all kids love her because of her caring, nurturing attitude, but are simply afraid whenever her instincts kick in, but nonetheless love her and would totally have her as a babysitter. Although she is afraid of kids who don't have the mind of normal ones and creep her out, such as like Eric Cartman and Hansel and Gretel (not the classic pair, though).
* She fears ghosts, not because they are supernatural themselves, but because they would be invulnerable to her martial arts skills. She thus also fears other monsters, as she feels that they would be invulnerable as well. She tries her best to stay away from them as soon as possible, although her fear of monsters causes her to be an easy advantage by the evil-monstrous deities to be spook easily.
** Until she was eventually backed into a corner and was forced to attack back. As soon as she realized that certain monsters are just as susceptible to her karate, her fear of them has lessened considerably. But those indeed invulnerable (like ghosts), she's going to run.
* She is extremely lucky in luck-based games such as poker and mahjong. Even though she hates poker, her luck in it is so good that it seems like she is a professional. A lot of people are disputed by how a girl who hates it is so good at it. When asked if she wanted to participate in an another poker round, she refused, as she prefers to keep a healthy lifestyle.
* Considering that she waited for Shinichi to permanently return, she is pitied by the entire House of Love, but special mention goes to Princess Cadence and Kyu Sugardust. The former feels bad for the pain that she held inside and hopes that Conan will finally find a way to defeat the Black Organization and reverse the effects on his body, or at least that she would know the truth. For the latter, seeing how made for each other Ran and Shinichi are, not to mention a few glares from Cadence, both are in her whitelist in that neither of them will be involved in her work (especially considering how much of a DudeMagnet Ran is).

* Odd Friendship with: [[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia Mashiro Moritaka and Akito Takagi/Ashirogi Muto]].
* Light Yagami ascended after his death, a false saint stewing in shame over his failure to become god of the new world. And who was the one that engineered his demise? His partner-in-crime Ryuk, a god of death who dropped his extra Death Note into the Human World for [[ItAmusedMe shits and giggles]]. When he wrote his doomed partner's name in his Death Note to save himself the trouble of watching him rot in jail, he thought that was the end of it, as those who die in his universe revert to ''Mu'' ([[CessationOfExistence nothingness]]). He found himself gut-punched twice when the Shinigami King (via [[MouthOfSauron Armonia Justin Beyondormason]]) ordered him to the Pantheon. The first one came when he discovered that Light actually ''ascended as a god'' after dying. The second one came when the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods told him that from now on he would be watching over the former human he was messing with for jollies as his herald effective immediately. The {{Shinigami}}'s reply was typical Ryuk:
--> '''Ryuk:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck Well this is gonna be fun...]]
* Light of course was livid that Ryuk condemned him to die but [[ThrowTheDogABone to be fair]], Ryuk did warn him that he would do that if he was caught. For the most part Light shows no antagonism towards Ryuk (he enjoys his new godhood), but did reveal that only being in the Pantheon might protect Ryuk. Ryuk just nodded dismissively knowing that Light would fuck up eventually and would have to rely on him for safety. Until then, he basically lazed around in the Shinigami Realm or scoured the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} for apples. The moment he had been waiting for finally arrived when Light made a deal with the Laughing Salesman Moguro Fukuzou. At the end of the whole affair, Light was in prison and his Death Note had been donned into ineffectiveness. As Light begged Ryuk to help him, [[CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass Ryuk decided to write down that Light would be killed in a prison riot]] and the many prisoners who pounced on him were ''not happy'' to say the least. A revived Light begged Ryuk for a new Death Note, with the Shinigami only giving in after Light brought him a basket full of apples but not before reminding him why he was doing it.
--> '''Ryuk:''' Light, allow me to make myself perfectly clear this one time. [[ItAmusedMe I'm only doing this because seeing how you will either succeed or fail is enjoyable to me]]. You do not own me. ''I own you.'' If I so please, I can rip this notebook out of your hands at any moment to give to someone else. I'm more powerful than you, and I will not hesitate to show why if you try to think otherwise, understand?
** Ryuk later broke into the Court and demanded a promotion to full godly status, threatening to kill them all if they didn't comply. After finding out that their guards just shoot their bullets right through him, they relented and gave him the position of god of all {{shinigami}}. Which is complete codswallop, because Ryuk actually just had a friendly chat with Chief Justice Johnson who had been hit real hard by the whole thing and the above story was a cover-up to scare Light.
** Suffice to say, Ryuk's dynamic with Light post-ascension is - roughly the same as usual. Partners-in-crime who openly don't actually care for each other's wellbeing but rely on the other to survive[[note]]On Ryuk's end it's because he needs apples and the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} has gotten wise to his nightly rampages[[note]]. Ryuk is a FairWeatherFriend at best, being friendly and compliant until Light gets into trouble, in which case it will depend on his mood to see if he'll help out. Light ''hates'' this arrangement and is looking to break free all the time but [[StatusQuoIsGod always seems to slink back to Ryuk]].
* He now spends his time mocking Light and going off to drink wine and eat apples with Moguro, thanking him for giving him the chance to be freed from Light's servitude. They talk about topics only they would find amusing and prank calling other deities. He sometimes invites Hades along just to mess with other deities.
** Rumor has it that he was the one that actually ascended Rem herself in order to help Ryuk get freed of Light's control. He still keeps tabs on her, in case he thinks he could use her help in something.
* In rare cases of seriousness, Ryuk will explain that the human obsession with afterlives is irrational, and he and his kind are just nature's way of cleaning up psychic residue and leftover lifeforce.
* ''Also'' lends a hand to fledgling Shinigami and Deaths; partially to keep on the higher-ups good side, partially to mind-screw with Ichigo. (Hey, he watched Light in action and learned quite a bit.) He is, however, going to mess with them a bit. Also, if ''everyone'' dies, there won't be anyone left to die. Or grow apples.
* Is currently in a meme war (he's doing it for the lulz) with Ichigo Kurosaki over what being a ''Shinigami'' means.
* The symptoms of his lack of apples [[MemeticMutation are startiiiiiing]].
* Was almost killed by [[Pantheon/{{Pride}} Vegeta]] after several prank calls GoneHorriblyWrong. He has now switched to prank-calling [[Anime/TransformersEnergon Shockblast]].
* Was highly amused to find Mashiro Moritaka and Akito Takagi requesting him for an autograph. He's usually signing other people's names, so signing his own was a change he didn't expect.
* Whenever he's in need of apples badly, he sometimes steals from Maximus's stash, must to his annoyance. He did try to learn about planting his own apple tree after Johnny Appleseed and Applejack heard of Maximus's complaints, but he always walked off to just pick apples from their fields. Needless to say, they really didn't go anywhere. Doesn't help that the soil in Ryuk's temple is ill-fitted from growing grass, let alone trees.
* Grim was vastly impressed with how Ryuk backstabbed Light, clapping and laughing upon meeting up with him the next time. Ryuk sometimes writes Billy and Mandy in his death note to give Grim some time off, only adding onto how much Grim likes him, enough to confide in him that [[CrossoverShip that may have some feeling for Rem]]. Despite knowing very well that Shinigami have no reasons to fall in love with humans, let alone more perverted things, [[ShipperOnDeck Ryuk still decided to help set Grim up on some dates with,]] [[{{Troll}} if only to see how disastrous they could turn out]].
* Ryuk enjoys watching the antics of Cesare within the Pantheon, even if he is saddened to find out he can't use his death note. He is currently looking around for a new god or goddess to properly give his Death Note too.

* He was once but a mere member of the Demonic Legion, but has now risen. His savvy attitude combined with his cheery attitude and tendency to backstab ''anything'' if he sees it fit (hey, gotta sacrifice something to get another) makes him a feared foe to many. [[spoiler:And unlike Ocelot who's doing it for Big Boss, Basco pretty much does things ''[[ItsAllAboutMe for himself]]'']]
* He did kind of miss that [[Series/KaizokuSentaiGokaiger Marve-chan]] isn't around (stuck in Toku Base) for him to fool around, but he settles that he'll find another victim to toy around.
** Until the Gokaigers had managed to ascend into this pantheon as Basco is not amused of it.
* With his ascension comes the 5th member of Terumi's band of trolls, which now calls itself "Evulz Sentai Trollkaiger". His designation is "Trollkai Red". The fact that he's not the leader despite his color is in fact an act of trolling directed at The Super Sentai.
** He doesn't know that its also trolling him as well, which the more veteran members of the team snicker about behind his back.
* One day he was [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown mercilessly beaten up]] by Issei because he saw him using a child once again for his evil deeds. Just to add more fuel to the fire, the child was an ''orphan''.
* Also earned the ire of many of the AntiVillain members of the pantheon since [[EvenEvilHasStandards harming kids is a common taboo amongst them]].
* Rena and Shion hate him because he's a walking reminder of things they've done in other kaekras that they'd rather forget.
* Has earned the enmity of the Elric Brothers for sacrificing and betraying lives.
* Also serves as a member of the Pantheon/GUAETrollkaiger.

* Rivals: [[Pantheon/MindGames The Riddler]], [[Pantheon/LustfulActs James Bond]], just about anyone who wants to challenge him for fun.
* Enemies: Besides Light Yagami, [[Pantheon/OtherCriminals Misa Amane]] and [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Teru Mikami]], any deity that kills left and right, mostly the House Of Pantheon/{{Villains}} and the House Of Pantheon/{{Crime}}. Also hated by Religious deities for deciding his own moral code.
* JustFriends: [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Panty]]
* Respects/Respected by: [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Bruce Wayne/Batman]]
* Near originally had the spot here of being both [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys "Gaining Gadgets Unexpectedly"]] and being a "LaserGuidedTykebomb". However, recent developments within the house of Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} had started a campaign to cut down on deities that hold two titles. Light originally started it with help from Misa and Teru, bringing up the idea of kicking Near off to the Court Of Gods and using Misa and Teru as anonymous sources, claiming that he doesn't even represent his chosen titles that much. [[SpannerInTheWorks However, Batman has been keeping an eye on Light after Near requested his aid in return for his assistance when dealing with some of Arkham's own criminals]], and quickly informed Near about what Light was doing, allowing him ample time to prepare a plan.
** When the Court Of Gods sent a representative, Near calmly [[http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3266/3159825260_c0408ea6e8.jpg used his finger puppets from when he was planning on beating Kira]] [[PlanningWithProps to detail what Light and his allies were planning to do and telling them through use of his finger puppets]]. He also explained his plan on countering this by getting a more fitting title, PlanningWithProps. Seeing everything Near presented checked out, this was approved and Near moved to the house of Pantheon/{{Planning}}... [[LaserGuidedKarma right next to Light's temple]]. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Near and Batman got a good laugh out of how things turned out for Light]], and Light himself is pissed that Near is so close to his temple, making it no secret that he wants to see him gone.
* As a proud owner of countless toys and gizmos, those who need gadgets often go to Near for help obtaining them; he gives the seeker a run-down on how hard it is to obtain, how much it costs, where to go for it, and other such details.
* Once he heard that Mello ascended, Near instantly headed off to the House of Food to meet with Mello, who was getting ready for another verbal fight against Near once he heard of his ascension. He was quickly stunned when Near thanked him for helping him get the final clues for the Kira case, handing him a bar of chocolate as a way of saying "No hard feelings". While Mello still refuses to call him a friend, he is ''a bit'' more tolerant of his presence now, even promising to help him should Light try to become Kira again.
** On a really good day for Mello, he could be seen eating chocolate with Near, if only because he insists that he is just bored and nothing else.
* No one has ever seen Near walk. He's just sort of... [[OffscreenTeleportation there when you look at him]].
* He also met face to face with L for the first time, and L was rather impressed that Near took down Light in the end. However, he as well as other deities, including the House Of Knowledge, wanted to know if he really did use a Death Note to control Teru Mikami. Near just smirks and refuses to comment, saying it would ruin the fun of the puzzle.
** Overhearing the last part of how it would ruin the fun of the puzzle, The Riddler got his eyes set on him due to how similar the two think and has even sent him a riddle for him to solve instead of Batman for once to test how intelligent Near really is. To his dismay, Near appeared right in front of him with an active searchlight set on "Bat-Man" at [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Scrooge McDuck's]] money vault. While he managed to backtrack and escape Near's sight, Scrooge saw him and beat him down till Batman caught up to The Riddler. He has since considered Near a WorthyOpponent and has sent him riddles on occasion should he feel bored by Batman.
*** Batman grew to respect Near because of this, even if his way of getting information is questionable at best. In return, Near respects Batman for choosing his own morals like he did, and the two of them even help each other out on crime cases periodically.
*** For those curious about what the Riddler's riddle was, it was actually a 200 piece pure white puzzle, which when exposed to an LED light, has the phrase "Life is like a hurricane, no?" on it. Near deduced quickly that the number of pieces, 200, was military time for 2:00 AM, and a quick google search about the phrase led to the Ducktales theme song. It wasn't long till Near pieced it together.
* Unsurprisingly, gets along swimmingly with the Toys of Toy Story, even playing with them on a regular basis. However, his own toys seemed to start moving on their own once Near met them. Not that he minds it, as he enjoys playing with them, and even setting up plans with them; it's just that the rest of the SPK feels awkward around them and are still adapting to it.
** Buzz even offered to assist Near in his detective work, serving as a scout of sorts for crime that Near suspects is happening. Very few people in Japan would believe that a Buzz Lightyear toy would have a hidden camera installed on him.
* Despite spending a great deal of time in his own temple left to his own devices, he got out a lot frequently once he heard that people like Primus and Emmet were gods here. He spent a great deal watching Primus in awe and crafting with Legos alongside Emmet.
* Was quite shocked at [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Spike]] when he heard his voice, as it [[Creator/CathyWeseluck sounded familiar]]. Despite this, even if Spike is a bit unnerved at Near's cold personality, he does respect him for being a dedicated planner.
* Upon hearing how Near [[MemeticMutation entered the Avatar State]], Aang went over to see if there could be another avatar. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYyUUrga7kU A little while after he entered]], he stepped out dazed and dizzy. Despite this, he does visit Near's temple a couple times to help Near go out and make friends. While Near does appreciate the sentiment, he does find Aang to be a bit annoying at times. Regardless, he still goes out with him when asked.
* Does his best to avoid Light Yagami whenever possible, as he knows he can't beat him by himself. Should he figure out that Light figured out that he ascended and is planning on writing down Near's name, he has arranged a uber-heart transfer with [[Pantheon/{{Physicians}} The Medic]] to help combat Light's Notebook.
** Such a day eventually came around when Near [[WhoForgotTheLights was caught underneath some wonky lights that needed to be replaced]]. As he was walking by a black spot underneath the lightbulb, it turned on for long enough for Light to realize that it was Near. When it went off and on again, Near was gone. After a short chase around the house, Light managed to corner Near and peaked Ryuk's interest to go and see how this encounter turned out. He pulled out his Death Note, ready to write him off ([[{{Pun}} literally]]). Just before he finished writing his name, [[KarmicDeath Light ended up getting a heart attack somehow]]. When he accused Near and Ryuk of doing this, [[NotMeThisTime Near denied having any role in this and Ryuk expressed surprise and confusion before laughing as he saw Light expire as another figure went up behind him, who turned out to be Rem]]. While Ryuk gave a hearty chuckle and welcomed Rem back, Near just gazed at her in confusion.
*** Ryuk filled Near in on Rem before she told her side of the story. While shocked to hear what Light did in detail, he explained how he went up against Kira and won thanks to Mello. While Rem was unnerved at some of the same traits he shared with L, she still prefers him to Light and is willing to aide him should Misa not lead to her getting imprisoned or executed. He has agreed to let Soichiro Yagami handle her at least while he focuses on Light and Teru, and considering Soichiro is willing to help Misa out to improve her mind instead of just arresting or killing her, Rem is satisfied with this arrangement.
*** As for his plan with getting a new heart transplant courtesy of Medic, he requested to test it out first with him healing the [[Pantheon/{{Firearms}} Heavy Weapons Guy]]. As a man of science and a MadDoctor, he approved of this request. Tests are still going underway.
* The day James Bond decided to challenge Near to a game of chess in the House of Love was... interesting, to say the least, for all the wrong reasons.
** Before that day, other gods had decided to challenge Near to any intellectual activity with very few accounts of them succeeding; he had only been beaten by L and Mello beforehand, and even then he had accounts of managing to beat the both of them. After completing the game and winning, much to James' shock, he was going to head out, only to be stopped by Panty, who, seeing how Near was on her ''To-Do List'', took notice and complimented Near in how cute and adorable he was, mentioning how it is a shame his ''V card'' is still with him. Of course, Near being a DefectiveDetective, he had zero idea what to do and was left stuttering and flustered as Panty picked him up and took him to her room, resulting in one of the only times in Pantheon history that other deities witnessed Near's legs moving frantically. The result of that was conflicting to Near to say the least. On one hand, what she did to him at first was something that he didn't seem fond of, despite [[Pantheon/TaintedLove Frollo]] seeming downright ''envious'' of him, but on the other hand, cuddling with Panty was actually rather enjoyable. He settled to being JustFriends with her, allowing her to cuddle him and nothing else.
* Has been recruited by Killua Zoldyck to help keep dangerous members of the Pantheon in line. Surprisingly, they have a decent alliance, as for all of Near's faults, [[WhereDoesHeGetAllThoseWonderfulToys his resources]] and personality actually makes him very effective. He is also curious to see if Killua is willing to teach him how to use a KillerYoYo like he can.
