Line #21 Characters/BattleRoyaleRoundTwo


1	!All-Stars
2	!!Lightning Farron (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII'')
3	Leader of the All-Stars' second gathering. Lightning was captured by Polygon Man and made to fight a forcibly disguised Sora to restart the Battle Royale, but foiled it alongside Crash Bandicoot.
4
5	* IndyPloy: Lightning takes note of the battleground's quick regeneration and Sora's Ragnarok LimitBreak to attack Polygon Man and drive him away.
6	* TheRival: Polygon Man attempts to set Sora up as Lightning's rival. Unlike their predecessors, this rivalry doesn't go anywhere
7	* RotatingProtagonist: Although she's the protagonist of the tale, several of the chapters are focused on Raiden or Jak.
8	* TwoGirlsToATeam: Lightning and Nariko are the only female All-Stars in the group.
9
10	!!Raiden (''VideoGame/MetalGear'')
11	A cyborg who was part of the first Battle Royale. He, Nariko, and Sora were sent to find their missing comrades suspected to have been captured.
12
13	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter Six focuses on Raiden clashing with The Beast and saving Cole [=McGrath=] and Dante Sparda from Master Xehanort.
14	* TheRival: Raiden and Cole are rivals in the game, which they lampshade in Chapter Six when Raiden has to save Cole from Dante's alternate self.
15
16	!!VideoGame/JakAndDaxter
17	[=PlayStation=] 2 era mascots. They were sent by Lightning to spy on Kratos when he refuses to team up with the All-Stars to go after Polygon Man, before being caught up in Caius' hostage crisis.
18
19	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Jak ends up losing control of his Dark Eco when Xehanort decides to "even the number", sending him on a rampage against his allies. It's foiled when Jak is mislead into thinking Xehanort is a revived Baron Praxis. [[spoiler:This indirectly leads to him being RetGone in ''Diamond Adventure'']].
20	* CurbStompBattle: Jak gets both sides of this trope. He sends Master Xehanort running through his sheer hatred of Baron Praxis. However, when he attacks Caius with the Peace Maker, it's reflected back for a OneHitKO.
21	* HandicappedBadass: Despite memory loss in his previous appearance, Jak retains his skills in battle.
22	* ItsPersonal: Invoked. Jak might not fully remember Baron Praxis, but his hatred remains. Daxter uses this to get Dark Jak to attack Master Xehanort by convincing him that Xehanort is Praxis.
23	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: They both don't know that Xehanort is Sora's ArchEnemy when they face him in the Keyblade Graveyard. They find out the connection at the end, courtesy of Sora himself.
24	* TheRival: Their rivalry with Ratchet and Clank faded away over the TimeSkip, and now they're close allies. Polygon Man had intended for Riku to become Jak's new rival, but Caius ended up in that place for ''both'' parties.
25	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Once the truce between Zeus and Kratos has expired and they go back to fighting, Jak and Daxter leave for their next objective out of disgust.
26	* SupportingProtagonist: Chapters Seven and Eight have the duo as the viewpoint characters. In Seven, they force Zeus and Kratos into cooperating if it means fighting Master Xehanort. In Eight, they help Sir Dan and [=PaRappa=] face Caius Ballard.
27
28	!! Sir Daniel Fortesque (''VideoGame/MediEvil'')
29	An undead knight who proclaims himself the "Hero of Gallowmere". He was desperate to avoid actual battle because of Kratos, only to find himself facing Caius Ballard.
30
31	* CowardlyLion: Attempts to bail out of Lightning's meeting when Kratos doesn't show up, leading to Radec calling him out for cowardice. He also chooses to stay with [=PaRappa=] when trying to free Sora and Riku from crystal stasis, but Caius ambushes them. Sir Dan makes up for it by fighting Caius head on, and later dragging Riku to safety with Daring Dash.
32	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter Eight focuses on Sir Dan as he conflicts with Caius Ballard. Although he's moved aside when [=PaRappa=] frees Caius' hostages, he uses his Daring Dash to save Riku from a Mega Flare.
33	* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Attempts this at the thought of Kratos being on Polygon Man's side. It's foiled... on account of Kratos finally showing up and [[DoorSlamsYou slamming the door on Sir Dan]].
34	* SuddenlyVoiced: Unlike in the game, Sir Dan is fully capable of speech.
35
36	!! VideoGame/CrashBandicoot and Franchise/SpyroTheDragon
37	[=PlayStation=] era mascots. Both were dragged into the pantheon against their will by Polygon Man in a second attempt to restart the Battle Royale, but was again foiled by Crash's quick thinking. Lightning later recruits them.
38
39	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Averted with Crash, but played straight with Spyro, in Chapter 2 when they're captured by Polygon Man.
40	* CallBack:
41	** [[VideoGame/SpyroOrangeTheCortexConspiracy They've crossed]] [[VideoGame/CrashBandicootPurpleRiptosRampage over before]], so any tricks Polygon Man attempts on them won't work.
42	** [[VideoGame/Spyro2RiptosRage Again]], Spyro decides to take a trip to Dragon Shores because of rain.
43	** Aku Aku even wonders if [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII Nanaki]] was another mutated animal from [[VideoGame/CrashBandicoot1996 N. Brio's Evolvo-Ray]].
44	* InsultBackfire: Polygon Man calls Crash "stupid" because he couldn't control the bandicoot with his brainwashing ability. Crash responds by forcing Aku Aku onto Spyro, freeing and empowering him.
45	* ThoseTwoGuys: Both of them are always in the same chapters, and are rarely apart, contrasting [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter their]] [[Franchise/RatchetAndClank successors]] who don't interact much.
46
47	!! VideoGame/SlyCooper
48	A raccoon descended from a long line of thieves. He found out about the Blast Core, and joined Lightning to help steal it back. He's also friends with Ratchet and Clank.
49
50	* DemotedToExtra: A supporting character in Dark Proxies, Sly only appears in two scenes and is captured in his second. However, his actions are crucial in that he's the one who informs Lightning about Caius, and steals the Blast Core from Polygon Man.
51	* DistressedDude: He gets trapped in a polygonal cell in Chapter Nine by Polygon Man to prevent the Blast Core from being stolen.
52	* PassThePopcorn: Sly offers to share popcorn he stole from Gleeman Vox with Ratchet and Clank when everyone starts bickering over Kratos being absent.
53
54	!! Franchise/RatchetAndClank
55	[=PlayStation=] 2 era mascots. Among Lightning's recruits, they don't have much reason to fight Polygon Man, but soon discover one of their old foes Dr. Nefarious is working for him.
56
57	* ADayInTheLimelight: The two mainly support Lightning, but get the spotlight in Chapter Nine when Dr. Nefarious comes into the picture.
58	* DemotedToExtra: Supporting characters here, while [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter their rivals]] from the game are major characters who face Xehanort and Caius.
59	* HeroicBSOD: Ratchet doesn't take Caius imprisoning Sora and Riku in crystal very well, going as far as to prepare the RYNO V to free them. Clank tells him not to, since they could get killed with this method.
60	* PassThePopcorn: They eat popcorn with Sly Cooper during the panic over Kratos' absence. Clank does ponder over Sly taking popcorn from the House of Theater, although it was from Gleeman Vox's studios.
61	* TheRival: Their rivalry with Jak and Daxter became friendly over time, so Polygon Man can't force them to clash like he did before. They've also developed another rivalry with Sora in the TimeSkip, one that's also friendly.
62
63	!! Zeus and Kratos (''VideoGame/GodOfWar'')
64	Bitter foes who's fights are infamous even within the pantheon, something Master Xehanort takes advantage of. Kratos refused to join the All-Stars, so Lightning sent Jak and Daxter to spy on him.
65
66	* TheDreaded: Given his reputation, Kratos' absence in Lightning's meeting causes several to panic over his possible FaceHeelTurn.
67	* EnemyMine: They're forced into one when Master Xehanort threatens them. Once he's defeated, they go back to fighting, much to the disgust of Jak and Daxter.
68	* TheRival: They have other official rivals (Sweet Tooth for Kratos, Isaac Clarke for Zeus), but they're technically each other's rivals, to the point that Lightning had to choose the House of Combat for the meeting in case she can't keep them in one room without fighting for more than ten seconds.
69
70	!! Sora and Riku (''Franchise/KingdomHearts'')
71	Two Keybearers who are best friends. Sora was brainwashed into fighting Lightning during the first attempt, but is freed and later joins her group. Riku was later captured and used as a pawn by Caius Ballard into trapping Sir Dan and [=PaRappa=].
72
73	* BrainwashedAndCrazy: Both of them (and Spyro) end up like this at separate points by Polygon Man. Lightning frees Sora by attacking Polygon Man himself, while Riku is released when Polygon Man is done using him to bait the All-Stars.
74	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter Eight puts focus on Riku during the second half once he takes over from Sir Dan in facing Caius.
75	* DistressedDude: Polygon Man brainwashes Riku and sends him off to bait Lightning's group. Sora falls for the bait, and is taken hostage alongside Riku.
76	* DemotedToExtra: A major character in Dark Proxies, Sora is only a supporting character here.
77	* HandicappedBadass: Brutally deconstructed with Sora, who has a broken leg as a result of the events of Dark Proxies. He continues to fight despite his handicap, only for Caius to stomp on his knee, worsening the injury.
78	* MissedTheCall: They were both "invited" to the original Battle Royale, but missed out because of [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance their Mark of Mastery Exam]]. Despite this, a polygonal minion of Sora shows up in the climax.
79	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Sora never encounters Master Xehanort or Dr. Nefarious in the tale, even though the former is his ArchEnemy and fights [[VideoGame/JakAndDaxter two of his friends]]. In regards to the latter, one of Nefarious' minions, Courtney Gears, [[spoiler:was responsible for Sora's broken leg in ''Dark Proxies'']].
80	* TheRival: Polygon Man tries to set Lightning and Jak up as their respective rivals, but both times are foiled. Caius ends up the rival for Riku at the end. Sora also has a friendly rivalry with Ratchet and Clank.
81	* StarterVillain: The first chapter has Lightning fight a brainwashed Sora in Polygon Man's chambers. He's freed when she attacks their captor.
82	* TakenForGranite: They're both crystalized while Caius holds them hostage against the All-Stars to further bait them. They're reawakened and freed with the help of [=PaRappa=].
83	* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Polygon Man has Riku captured and brainwashed to use as live bait against any All-Stars looking for him, Dante, and Cole. Once he succeeds, Polygon Man releases Riku from his control, and allows Caius to take the Keyblade Master as a hostage.
84
85	!!VideoGame/PaRappaTheRapper
86	A paper-thin rapper dog with strong willpower. He was put in charge of freeing Caius' two hostages from crystal stasis alongside Sir Dan.
87
88	* BigDamnHeroes: His catchphrase "I gotta believe" saves Caius' captives from crystal stasis.
89	* HopeBringer: [=PaRappa=] serves as the perfect counter to Caius' HopeCrusher nature.
90
91	!!Nariko (''VideoGame/HeavenlySword'')
92
93	* ADayInTheLimelight: Chapter Six. She and Raiden face Evil Cole and [=DmC=]!Dante, and fight The Beast.
94	* TheRival: She had one with [=DmC=] Dante. While they face each other in Chapter 6, they don't interact.
95
96	!!Dante Spada (''VideoGame/DevilMayCry'')
97
98	* DefeatMeansFriendship: Dante defeats the ''[[VideoGame/DMCDevilMayCry DmC]]'' Dante, and impressed with his skills, decides to become a mentor figure for him. Unfortunately, it's short-lived when Evil Cole ends up absorbing ''[=DmC=]'' Dante to become The Beast.
99	* DistressedDude: He's captured by Caius Ballard early on.
100
101	!!Cole [=McGrath=] (''VideoGame/{{Infamous}}'')
102
103	* DistressedDude:
104
105	!!Isaac Clarke (''Franchise/DeadSpace'')
106
107	!!Nathan Drake (''VideoGame/{{Uncharted}}'')
108

110	* MakingASplash: Sackboy uses a hose to weaken the robotized Polygonal Minions.
111
112	!!Colonel Radec (''VideoGame/{{Killzone}}'')
113
114	!!Heihachi Mishima (''VideoGame/{{Tekken}}'')
115	The owner of the Mishima Zaibatsu, seeking to claim superiority over his son and grandson.
116
117	* DamnedByFaintPraise: After Zeus speculates that Kratos is siding with Polygon Man, some of the other heroes are horrified of the possibility, with Heihachi simply laughing, mocking the scared All-Stars while commenting that, while his family members are obstacles to his path for domination, they aren't cowards.
118	* TokenEvilTeammate: While he's aligned with the All-Stars, he isn't one with the most altruistic of reasons to stop Polygon Man.
119	* TrashTalk: All of Heihachi's lines consist of him insulting other characters, from the other All-Stars to Polygon Man himself.
120
121	!!Sweet Tooth (''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'')
122	* TheRival: He is this to Kratos.
123
124	!Villains
125	!!Polygon Man
126	The main villain of the tale. He's trying to restart the Battle Royale, but his targets keep escaping.
127	----
128
129	* MookMaker: Like in the game, he's capable of creating the Polygonal Minions, copies of the All-Stars who faced him before. This time, instead of three at a time as defense, Polygon Man just brings out copies of all 26 All-Stars[[labelnote:*]]counting Daxter and Clank as separate All-Stars, and excluding Evil Cole[[/labelnote]] who faced him to be his army.
130	* TookALevelInBadass: Polygon Man mentions he's trained since the first Battle Royale. Originally, it usually takes only one All-Star to defeat him. Now, he's capable of self-defense against a whole army of All-Stars, including a Goddess as their leader.
131
132	!!Caius Ballard (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIII2'')
133	An immortal guardian recruited by Polygon Man into being his second-hand man in exchange for All-Star Power that could help Yeul. He's from an earlier point in his world's timeline than Lightning, explaining why he's still an AntiVillain.
134
135	* DontYouDarePityMe: Caius rejects Riku's sympathy over his quest to save Yeul.
136	* DrivenToSuicide: He takes advantage of Riku still having the Way to the Dawn onhand to commit suicide and likely force his curse on the Keyblade Master. Because he's in the pantheon, and ''VideoGame/LightningReturnsFinalFantasyXIII'' has not taken place for him yet, he's revived soon afterwards.
137	* HopeCrusher: His actions lead Riku into a HeroicBSOD after [[TakenForGranite taking Sora for granite]]. [=PaRappa=] foils him.
138	* KickTheDog:
139	** Sets fire to Dante's office while in the process of kidnapping him. Dante ends up swearing that he'll send Caius the repair bill. [[BrickJoke The epilogue confirms he did]].
140	** He also crushes Sora's broken leg and reflects one of Jak's Peacemaker shots to knock him out.
141	* KnightOfCerebus: Despite being the most noble of the villains, Caius is also the cruelest and most serious of them. He has Sora and Riku captured and crystalized, shoots Jak in the heart with his own Peacemaker gun, and tries to fry the whole party as Chaos Bahamut after [=PaRappa=] saves the Keybearers.
142	* TakenForGranite: Caius imprisons Sora and Riku in crystal, and begins the process on Jak. [=PaRappa=] saves all three of them through hope.
143	* WellIntentionedExtremist: His main motivation for working with Polygon Man is to save Yeul from her {{reincarnation}} cycle. Riku sympathizes with Caius over it, but Caius won't accept his pity and commits suicide instead.
144
145	!!Evil Cole (''VideoGame/{{Infamous}}'')
146	Cole [=McGrath's=] EnemyWithout created by Master Xehanort.
147	* PsychoElectro: fitting, since he is an evil version of Cole.
148
149	!!Master Xehanort (''Franchise/KingdomHearts'')
150	A notorious Keyblade Master who seeks to recreate the X-Blade. Needing one more Seeker of Darkness for his cause, Xehanort has his sights set on Jak.
151
152	* ArchEnemy: For Sora and Riku, and now Jak and Daxter.
153	* TheCorrupter: He plans to make Jak a Seeker of Darkness.
154	* HoistByHisOwnPetard: Xehanort failed to take account that Jak's SuperpoweredEvilSide was created by [[VideoGame/JakIIRenegade Baron Praxis]], and Jak ''really'' hates Praxis for ruining his life. He's sent running when Daxter tricks the brainwashed Jak into thinking Xehanort ''is'' the reincarnated Praxis.
155	* OneDegreeOfSeparation: Xehanort never finds out that Sora and Riku are among the All-Stars Lightning recruited, with his antagonism mainly aimed at Jak and Daxter.
156
157	!!Dr. Nefarious and Lawrence (''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'')
158	A pair of robots; a mad scientist and his butler. They're Polygon Man's secret recruits who have rebuilt the Biobliterator. Ratchet knew they'd show up sooner or later.
159	----
160	* ArchEnemy: For Ratchet and Clank.
161	* DemotedToDragon: He serves as TheDragon to Polygon Man here.
162	* ForTheEvulz: Nefarious admitted that he allied with Polygon Man caused he had nothing else to do.
163	* RunningGag: Suffers yet ''another'' malfunction that causes a "Lance and Janice" episode to play out, right in the middle of ''a major battle'' even! Ratchet ends up snapping Nefarious out, but not before pointing out the show's SeasonalRot.
164
165	!!Polygonal Minions
166	Polygon Man's army. They're clones of the original All-Stars and Sora who were robotized by the Biobliterator.
167	----
168
169	* TheCameo: Since there are All-Stars who haven't joined the pantheon, Polygonal Minions of them show up instead. This includes VideoGame/FatPrincess, [[VideoGame/GravityRush Kat]] (who ascended later on), [[VideoGame/ApeEscape Spike]], [[VideoGame/{{Starhawk}} Emmet Graves]], and Toro.
170	* CloneArmy: They're all polygonal clones of the 26 All-Stars who fought in the first Battle Royale, plus a 27th clone based on Sora, whom Polygon Man attempted to use to restart the Battle Royale.
171	* HeavilyArmoredMook: They're turned into robots by Dr. Nefarious to boost their defenses. Backfires when they're left vulnerable to thunder-based attacks.
172	* MascotMook: Exploited. Many of them take on the forms of Sony Mascots.
173	* MechaMooks: Polygon Man had them robotized after seeing a beam from the Biobliterator convert the Polygonal Sora while trying to attack Ratchet.
174
175	!Other
176	!!Nanaki/Red XIII (''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'')
177	A beast who welcomes Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon into the pantheon after they escaped Polygon Man.
