| 47 | * The family of assassins that strike fear throughout the world, the Zoldycks' reputation has been passed down from generation to generation to be the greatest killers out there. A typical Zoldyck at least knows the basics of Nen, with the heads of the family being amongst the most powerful Nen users on the planet. It is understood that if a Zoldyck were targeting a person for assassination, [[YouCantFightFate then the target better pray to whatever deity they believe in to save them since nothing but losing their payment will stop the Zoldycks]]. The known Zoldck family members ascended to the Pantheon to stick their foot into the assassination scene in the Pantheon. They had many offers arise, which made their industry rivals a bit terrified of all the business they were losing. That influx of customers soon came to pass when people saw [[AdamSmithHatesYourGuts how high the price]] of an assassination from a Zoldyck was. That is not to say there will not be an absurdly rich client out there who could afford to hire the family, though the Zoldycks are usually sent to assassinate strong opponents a typical assassin could not handle. The client gets their money's worth with how effective they are, so it was worth more than a new yacht. |
| 48 | * To go over each family member briefly, the current heads of the Zoldyck family are Zeno and Silva, [[ThePatriarch father and son respectively]]. The former head of the family used to be Maha Zoldyck, an extremely old man who in his prime was once able to survive a fight with a young Isaac Netero himself. Considering that Isaac Netero is still considered to be one of the strongest Nen users in existence despite being past his prime where he could punch people thousands of times over with one swing, then Maha Zoldyck is objectively still a terrifying force no matter how much [[FeelingTheirAge age slowed him down]]. Maha could still run the family but handed the reigns to his grandson Zeno and great-grandson Silva who is handling his legacy as fine as it is. Regarding the other family members, Kikyo Zoldyck married into the family, being a former inhabitant of Meteor City. Her and Silva's children consist of the following from the eldest: the reserved and ruthless Illumi, the technologically savvy yet despicable Milluki, the currently traveling Killua, the innocent but omnipotent Alluka, and the calmly quiet Kalluto. As dysfunctional as their family sounds, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes they express their care for each other in their unique ways]]. Just ignore the torture, the emotional manipulations, the pressuring, the danger, and the "[[OverlyNarrowSuperlative lock-you-up-in-a-room-forever]]" dynamics to find that Zoldyck familial love. |
| 49 | -->'''Lenorio:''' Killua, I think your family's a bit disturbed. |
| 50 | -->'''Killua:''' Aren't all families? |
| 51 | -->'''Lenorio:''' Your older brother tortured you in a dungeon. |
| 52 | -->'''Killua:''' [[DissonantSerenity Whose brother hasn't?]] |
| 53 | ** There is not much information on Zigg Zoldyck whose information was likely held by those who personally knew him. What is known is that Zigg Zoldyck is the same age as Isaac Netero and was with him as companions traveling the Dark Continent. The Dark Continent itself being an EldritchLocation that is the origin of the world-threatening Chimera Ants speaks volumes on how powerful Zigg must be. [[AmbiguouslyRelated Zigg may be the unnamed son of Maha, a relative, or maybe a younger Maha himself]] but one cannot deny that Zigg must have seen ''some things'' during that excruciatingly difficult expedition that made Netero, who was especially giddy for any challenge than, [[KnowWhenToFoldEm decided to give up on the adventure after deeming it impossible]]. |
| 54 | * Regarding their relationship to the Phantom Troupe, there was that one time that the Zoldyck patriarchs were hired to assassinate the entire Troupe but relented when TheMafia who hired them were unable to fulfill their contractual obligations. [[OnlyInItForTheMoney The shorter meaning is that someone got to their clients first, so Zeno and Silva decided to pack up than continue]]. There is NothingPersonal on any of their ends and two of the Zoldycks eventually joined the Phantom Troupe's ranks themselves. Those being Illumi and Kalluto, the former doing it at Hisoka's request and the latter asserting his membership to the group by helping them squish some giant ants. |
| 55 | -->'''Lenorio:''' Yup. A bit disturbed. |
| 56 | * It should be noted that Alluka Zoldyck may be part of the family, though the love for her is not extended to her, unlike her other siblings. There is no disturbing possession for her nor high expectations to follow her upbringing, most of the Zoldyck family are either dismissive or concerned about her breaking out. Considering that Nanika, [[TheSymbiote the Dark Continent creature who possesses Alluka]], has the capability of having everyone on the entire planet get squished by an invisible force, ''then their concern is justified''. The lack of any love aspect though is far more questionable as the only family member who shows any empathy to Alluka is Killua who wanted independence from his family's legacy, enough for him to break his sister out to the unknown and reach away from them. The family also likes to call his sister a boy, [[KickTheDog which many people are equally as alarmed by]]. So when questioned about this by the Zoldyck family, they would say that the world potentially ending is a family affair people should stop sticking their noses at. [[InsaneTrollLogic A few people disagree.]] |
| 57 | * Though the Hassans have very much praised the Zoldyck family for their dedication to the art of assassination, the original Hassan-i-Sabbah does not share such high opinions. [[ChurchMilitant He believes that killing should be done in the name of something holy]], not for wealth or influence which he views the Zoldyck family guilty of. So the First Hassan swore that if the Zoldycks were to be involved in holy crusades, then he will personally make the family go extinct. The Zoldycks were not intimidated by these threats, as religious groups cheap out on them when it comes to payment. There is a reason why there is a dedicated pile back at their mansion over religious nuts begging them to kill not for money but for doong it out of religious obligation that they do not follow. It is alarming how many requests to take back Israel or some other HolyGround occupied by another religious majority are made. And yes, that includes people from the Trope Pantheons where DeathIsCheap is taken to a T. That does not stop from death being so terrifying when a Zoldyck is the one hunting you down. |
| 58 | * Although they are all superpowered murderers, they do credit to assassins who do not have superpowers yet can pull off daring kills. Just when some Zoldyck was about to kill their target from the shadows, [[AssassinOutclassin a conspicuous accident occurred that got to the target first]]. Somehow it involved a coin and a shredder and that is all that needs to be said. Tracking down the true killer was easier said than done for them as they noted a bald man running from the scene instead of staring at it with awe like everybody else. Agent 47, instead of being confronted violently as one would expect, got complimented by the Zoldycks for the clean assassination job. The family rejected their payment and credit for the murder as their honor would not allow it. |
| 59 | * One of the weirder friendships of the Pantheon is between the Wilkersons and the Zoldycks. It all started when some obnoxious lady in the neighborhood forced families to attend a social gathering for the sake of preserving authority over people. The Zoldycks were willing to decapitate that lady at the party, but found themselves instead had a rather interesting interaction with the Wilkerson family. Not to say it was pleasant as the Wilkerson parents were drunk, complaining about their sorry children and life choices while the children themselves tried to [[INeedAFreakingDrink sneak some alcohol into their drinks]]. It was an intriguing look into "the average NuclearFamily" as people label it and the Wilkersons provided a window into that. So they invite the Wilkersons to whatever activities they do, no matter how intense to see how this family would respond to their more colorful lives. The Wilkersons are terrified of the Zoldycks after seeing some of the stuff they do (seeing them jump off buildings and clean up dead bodies their giant animal ripped apart), [[SunkCostFallacy though stick by them because they think they would be rewarded by the end of it all]]. |
| 60 | * The League of Assassins have tried their hardest to recruit at least one Zoldyck into their organization to be met with rejections from them. Somehow, Ra's al Ghul felt insulted by this as several Zoldycks would rather join up a group of murderous bandits than his prestigious group. He has gone to visit the Zoldycks in person to smooth relations with them, having his daughter join him to better his chances. All family members still rejected him and though he does hold any particular hatred against them, Ra's al Ghul still does not understand why no Zoldyck wants to be under him as of now even if they are a prestigious family. Ra's al Ghul went to his former student to question this, and Batman who encountered the Zoldycks prior simply said they are just not interested at the moment. [[AbsurdlyLongWait He can wait all he wants since Ra's al Ghul has all the time to do so]]. Not to say the League of Assassins leader is happy about waiting this long, though he relents that if just has to... |
| 61 | * Though they were employed by mafiosos at several points, the Zoldycks do NOT hesitate if their targets were their former employers. So when Diavolo had a hit on himself, and as one of their former employers, [[SensingYouAreOutmatched knew a direct confrontation with the Zoldycks was asking to die no matter how strong his Stand is]]. It turned out that Bucciarati's Gang was the one who hired them, as they could not be bothered to go after Diavolo at the moment. It was a good thing that the hit was told to them a month prior, so Diavolo devised a plan that would not bring a confrontation with anybody, he would also bring his group more power. [[RefugeInAudacity That plan was to crash the Italian economy]]. Diavolo initiated this plan of convincing the Italian banks to invest in something called the blockchain ([[TakeThat some stupid thing that he keeps getting notified of]]) and had banks [[MoneyDumb waste BILLIONS of euros on imaginary things]] that lost their value in less than a day. By the time the Zoldycks arrived in Italy, they just got word that their employers ended their deal to prepare for an economic crash. Diavolo was so happy that something went right for him for once... [[AllForNothing before finding himself stabbed by assassins hired by the banks as retribution for screwing over themselves]]. Yes, those assassins were the same Zoldycks just rehired by the banks. |
| 62 | * The Parr Family is similarly a family with the same profession (albeit the kids are not professionals in any semblance) though it is obvious that the Parrs and Zoldycks are as different as oranges and the sun. [[PhlebotinumAnalogy The analogy is those oranges and the sun give Vitamin D and a baby could tell the difference on why they are not the same]]. To the Zoldycks' credit, they encouraged their kids to manifest their powers... for better or for worse. The Parrs do NOT want to cross paths with the Zoldycks for obvious reasons, though said they are willing to stand their ground against them if it comes to that. Half the Zoldycks were impressed by this statement and the other half laughed at what they see as a death sentence. |
| 63 | * The Black Organization were smart enough to have the Zoldycks as allies instead of trying to start a competition with them. [[CantCatchUp They know that the Zoldycks are way above their budget to hire]], so they pass off whatever contracts they cannot fulfill to the Zoldycks as a good gesture to them. Not that the Zoldycks see it as being "passed the leftovers" as the contracts had such high targets, it would have placed the Black Organization in political pickles. Meanwhile, the Dark Brotherhood hates the Zoldycks for stealing these contracts as that takes away from their growth. After all, they need the contracts to return to their former standing and are willing to take any, no matter how costly it is. [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity The Dark Brotherhood does want to fight against the Zoldycks but wants the excuse that they are fulfilling a contract for the sake of publicity]]. Their patience is running dry the longer the days pass without a contract against one Zoldyck being made. |
| 64 | * Encountering Golgo 13 and the Spy has been one the few standstills the Zoldycks ever had. They were supposed to take out a certain politician eating on a bench but noticed that two people were also in position. [[ColdSniper Golgo 13 was standing by a rooftop, ready to pull the trigger]]. One Zoldyck tried neutralizing Golgo 13 while the Zoldyck tried to kill their target while simply walking up to them. [[BadassNormal What Zoldycks did not expect was this normal sniper somehow fending them off, physically]]. Neither did they expect that the politician nonfatally stabbed a Zoldyck coming after himself, with the politician tearing off his disguise to reveal that he was the Spy all along, waiting on the bench to assassinate the oncoming politician. This was a rather tense fight, especially when it came upon all of them that the politician must be still alive, racing to their positions to kill their target. It was then they noticed that there was a commotion across the street and they noticed a dead politician carrying a sandwich on the pavement, [[LookBothWays hit by a bus]]. Instead of fighting anymore, [[VillainsOutShopping the assassins just decided to buy each other drinks after complimenting their fighting skills]]. Nobody was rewarded for an assassination that day, but friendship was more than a worthy replacement. Yes, they went out for drinks with a sniper rifle on the back and a stab wound. |
| 65 | -->'''Spy:''' Are you sure you don't want to go to a hospital for that thing I gave you? |
| 66 | -->'''Illumi:''' My mother told me to do a job, not take a trip to a hospital. |
| 67 | -->'''Spy:''' Well, the job is done and we're at a Denny's so... |
| 68 | -->'''Illumi:''' [[OnlyAFleshWound This is only a flesh wound]]. I'll get better. |
| 69 | * Being the familial patriarchs, Zeno and Silva do act softly on their other families though they are perfectly fine with things like torture being afflicted by other family members towards each other. If it turned Killua into an electricity-slinging speedster, then they have no issues if it gets them results. Due to their shared twisted morality, the two got along well with both Heihachi and Kazuya Mishima which is usually an impossible thing. It could be because ironically, the two Zoldycks represent a mirror to them of what a healthy father-son heritage is. Unlike the Mishimas, Zeno and Silva have [[FamilyValuesVillain resonating familial values]] despite their disturbing professions that require great martial prowess. For this, the two Mishimas secretly envy their occasional friends as they represent what their family could have been without the insane tragedies that followed. |
| 70 | * Stannis Baratheon has hired the Zoldycks more than a few times to take care of a few political enemies he has. Though the Zoldycks have more than enough firepower to completely annihilate the opposition of Stannis, he refuses because it was publicly dishonorable. [[GodzillaThreshold He only chooses immoral actions when he sees that there is no other option that he could take with the resources he has]], so having the Zoldyck patriarchs call up is convenient. He admires the family's active members for being dutiful and professional in their craft, something that he feels is more of a burden as it might drive him to hire them for more unnecessary assassinations. |
| 71 | * Corleone patriarchs have high regard for the Zoldyck patriarchs they hired on the occasion, considering that there are good familial values to take after these assassins. [[FamilyHonor After all, it is the Italian virtue to pride yourself on your family's accomplishments]]. These two Corleane feel that familial virtues are to be taken more seriously than ever, considering how messy their family is. The two are ironically unaware that the Zoldyck family is equally if not more dysfunctional than their family is, which they would probably like to ignore if they found out. |
| 72 | * Kikyo Zoldyck and Cersei Lannister get along well for being mothers who are protective of their kids, to the point that means taking questionable at best actions to do so. Despite Cersei believing that Kikyo Zoldyck is a woman of high standing considering the way she dresses, Kikyo comes from the impoverished Meteor City where people are meant to be thrown away at. Nobody knows how she and Silva eventually got together or how she developed such a fancy fashion, though [[UpperClassTwit Cersei would surely have a lesser opinion of Kikyo if she ever found out that the Zoldyck matriarch was not born into nobility]]. If that day arrives, [[TheSecretOfLongPorkPies Kikyo could easily just send Cersei back to her family as a pie meant to be eaten]]. |
| 73 | * Milluki is one of the few friends to Lain of all the people, the almighty internet goddess. The reason not being because Lain actually finds Milluki good company especially since she has to deal with [[DrunkWithPower him abusing positions of online power he somehow wormed his way to getting]] (example: [[FromBadToWorse Milluki the TV Tropes mod]]). She just finds him a good study on an early Internet user similar to himself assimilates to more modern internet. Milluki would admit that he may not be the wisest person out there, but at least he is not susceptible to falling for some inane mindsets the internet has fostered. Lain could at least attest that is a good quality of Milluki, [[DamnedByFaintPraise a part of a good handful against his million bad ones]]. |
| 74 | * Milluki competes with Scott the Woz over obtaining video game collectibles they found online. Not that Milluki finds competition worth hating since he has enough funds to outbid anybody, but Scott earns his ire for a simple reason. Scott Wozniak doesn't understand anime and anything resembling it and having witnessed how vehement Scott acts towards what Milluki calls the admirable [=JRPGs=], [[EvilIsPetty the Zoldyck swore he would make Scott Wozniak miserable in obtaining rare games]], although it means having to spend a lot more money than he should. Scott has tried his best to keep up with Milluki's bids but there can only be so much money he could lose before Scott may be forced to do the unthinkable: [[FateWorseThanDeath selling himself for advertisement money]]. Paying $70 American bucks for new probably unfinished releases is hard enough on his wallet as it is. |
| 75 | -->'''Scott:''' [[VideoGame/MarioSportsSuperstars Just let me get these cards with the reused artwork for a crappy sports game, please!]] |
| 76 | -->'''Milluki:''' ''Never.'' |
| 77 | * Illumi Zoldyck may be the most blatantly evil person in the family as seen by his constant attempts to reel his brother away from independence by any means necessary. Something is unsettling about Illumi, not just in the Gittarackur disguise he used. [[TheStoic He is usually expressionless]], though that is how moments where he [[MaskOfSanity expresses joy become terrifying]] as it usually means Illumi found a way to dismantle his brother further. That is not to say that Illumi hates his brother, though he does enjoy watching Killua suffer as much as Hisoka enjoys seeing young children get stronger. Speaking of Hisoka, he and Illumi are "friends" as much as two sadists could be. [[MistakenForGay A lot of people think they are a couple but Illumi would say no to that]]. Hisoka did introduce him to the Phantom Troupe, though how their current friendship stands now that Hisoka became a traitor to the group is currently a muddy subject both do not dwell on. |
| 78 | * Two friends that Illumi likes are Killbus and Eddy's brother. [[NoNameGiven He still does not know the name of the latter]]. Their obvious shared interests are making their siblings' lives absolutely miserable by showcasing their superiority. Killbus likes tossing his brother around for the hell of it, Illumi loves manipulating his brother to make him fall in line, and Eddy's brother loves putting his brother in his place. It is strange that the power discrepancy between the three is so vast from each other, though Illumi manages to bring this trio of abusive older brothers together as if he were TheHeart of a team. That is the last thing Killua thought his eldest brother could be described as. |
| 79 | * Alluka has been traveling with Killua to get as far away from her family as she could, as [[SealedGoodInACan they still have every intention of stuffing her back into a room]] for the rest of her life. Killua has gone to meet with several young people similar to Alluka for advice on keeping her powers in check. Bran Stark said to Killua outright that he just looked for the wrong person since he as a disable prophet, trained himself to use his foresight more. [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling All the senses that Bran holds screamed that he should avoid trying to interfere with Nanika]], so he just pointed to a young Japanese boy named Mob. Mob just told Killua and Alluka that what he learns is that the adults should handle this entire Nanika debacle fine since they are so responsible. As much as Killua acknowledges Mob does not mean harm, he had to shake the boy [[SuddenlyShouting while shouting]] that the adults want to shove his sister into a room until the day she dies. Alluka thanked both (scared) young men regardless of their troubles even if they are unable to help them in the end, with Killua angrily still searching for someone to help his sister out. |
| 80 | * Kyubey was sent to Alluka after seeing her potential to be a MagicalGirl, the Incubators not being aware of what they were getting into. When going to Alluka to do the usual wish-granting offer, Alluka instead requested Kyubey to do the usual things a trained pet would do. Kyubey repeatedly asked if that was Alluka's risk instead of fulfilling her request to roll over four times and [[SurprisinglySuddenDeath Kyubey found itself crushed by an invisible force]]. It turned out that a good fraction of the ''entire Incubator race'' was simultaneously squished as well. The Incubators did not know what happened and went to the Zoldyck family, begging to know what happened to them. The family all just laughed at the weird weasel thing for not being competent enough to just roll over as it should have. |
| 81 | * Kalluto and Metal Sonic have a rather strange friendship that people find odd on the outside, though it makes more sense upon seeing their similarities. [[AmbitionIsEvil Both have the desire to rise above their inferiorities compared to others]] and share an inclination toward brutality despite their outward calmness. They are obedient to their superiors though are willing to become independent for the sake of improving themselves. |
| 82 | -->'''Kalluto:''' My brothers are quite stronger than me... barring the fat one. I always feel that while I progress to their level, they only go further than I ever could be. Do you ever have that feeling? |
| 83 | -->'''Metal Sonic:''' [[TheVoiceless ...]] |
| 84 | -->'''Kalluto:''' [[LampshadeHanging Why do I talk to you when you have no mouth?]] |
| 85 | * Maki Harukawa found Kalluto injured somewhere once and thought he was simply an injured child. Kalluto woke up as Maki was tending to him, [[KillingIntent and Maki realized by Kalluto's harsh eyes alone that this child was a trained assassin]]. Secretly preparing a knife behind herself, Maki questioned Kalluto as her tending continued. Kalluto admitted that someone jumped him and that the group he was with must have left him behind honestly. [[TheCavalryArrivesLate Soon, Phantom Troupe members arrived to pick up their vanished member]]. Maki having knowledge of killers knew who these Phantom Troupe members were and were relieved that she did not upset their currently lesser-known member. Kalluto gracefully thanked her, then left, though pondered why did Maki not try to kill him with the knife she was hiding. Not to say that he can complain, as he is part of a group of mass murderers. It was fortunate that the other Phantom Troupe members did not notice, or else they would have ended her on the spot. |

| 105 | * Dislikes: [[Pantheon/AntiHeroism Lina Inverse]], [[Pantheon/{{Twins}} Mayu A]][[Pantheon/ReasonsForDeath makura]] |
| 106 | * TheCaretaker's chosen candidate was an interesting pick. It was in the old days of the Pantheon, where ascension standards were more lax. But the Court of the Gods selected Mai Tokiha for the trope, given her character arc being most defined by taking care of her sickly brother Takumi, and how that aspect extended to her roommate and fellow [=HiME=] Mikoto. |
| 107 | * Due to the clear differences in timelines, as well as the manga being an AlternateContinuity, this Mai representing the trope is the animé incarnation. |
| 108 | * While [[TheMagicGoesAway her powers disappeared]] after [[spoiler:the destruction of the [=HiME=] Star]], due to the inherent danger that comes with being a Pantheon Goddess, Mai was granted back her Element and CHILD Kagutsuchi [[spoiler:and without the Sword of Sealing, to boot]]. She was fearful of this at first, but the Court assured her that [[spoiler:the life of her most precious one is no longer tied to the CHILD's survival]]. |
| 109 | * Her Element, if Mai is forced into combat, consists of four golden rings around her wrists and ankles. Besides providing levitation, she can also create barriers (useful to shield from Kagutsuchi's flames), and use fire in her attacks. |
| 110 | ** Her [[{{Mon}} CHILD]], Kagutsuchi, is a dragonlike creature capable of spitting destructive fiery balls. It also is capable of melee fighting, and has a jet mode which allows it to travel at high speeds. Out of the [=CHILD=]s seen, it's proved to be among the most powerful. And ''even if'' Kagutsuchi gets killed, not only is it able to resurrect itself and be reborn from its flames and feathers, it can similarly revive Mai if she bites it around the same time (so far, only when she's riding with it). It can even [[BatmanCanBreatheInSpace take her to space]], or at least high enough to destroy a KillSat. |
| 111 | * Feels a kinship with Yu Narukami because of his affection toward and his dedication to the care of his cousin Nanako. Except she was less ill and more depressed due to her father's issues that stemmed from [[spoiler:her mother's death by a drive-by accident]]. |
| 112 | ** Though him, she met his other friends, such as a different Chie, the RobotGirl [[Pantheon/TimePlacement Aigis]] (who somewhat reminded her of Miyu), and Nanako herself when she ascended as well. She woud eventally get to know everyone else in the Investigation Team and the Shadow Operatives. |
| 113 | * Eventually, she came into contact with other folks who took the role of caretaker for others. |
| 114 | ** First up is Iroh, who did his best to keep Zuko from the path of evil even in his hunt for the Avatar before he eventually befriended Aang. The old general is also intrugued with Mai's dedication and her own pyrokinetic abilities and hopes to help her learn how to use them while minimizing the element's destructive potential. |
| 115 | ** Next is Lea, particularly from his time as the Nobody Axel. She heard of the screwed up way he took this fole for Roxas [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2 during their early days in Orgainzation XIII]]. That said, she also heard of how he made amends for it since then.` |
| 116 | ** And then there's Mio Amakura and her dymanic with Mayu. While Mai can feel for the younger twin's dedication, she disapproves of the elder twin's [[spoiler:[[WoundedGazelleGambit deliberate self-injury]] to invoke this, finding it worse than her own brother Takumi, who actually tried to make her find someone besides him to live for]]. |
| 117 | ** For [[Pantheon/NiceAndNasty Taiga Hanaya]] and his deal with his patient Nico Saiba, Mai is conflicted with his attitude with everyone, even if he ultimately means well. |
| 118 | ** In regards to Dean Winchester and his brother Sam, she found his case a bit more complicated. Despite the unspeakable things they've done to and for each other (even separating a few times), the two still love one another unconditionally and are willing to go to Hell (literally) for each other. They don't always see eye to eye, but Dean is nonetheless very protective of Sam. In this regard, he relates to Mai somewhat. |
| 119 | ** Mai has strong respect for Dr. Simon Tam for having helped his sister escape a government facility and continuing to protect her (and her [[TheMovie eventually returning the favor]]) [[spoiler:before his untimely shedding of his mortal coil.]] |
| 120 | ** She bonded with Jo March over how they both struggled and had to make sacrifices in order to take care of their respective siblings. While it's true that Mai only had one sibling (plus WildChild roommate Mikoto) compared to Jo's three, the [=HiME=] also had to handle all the supernatural and the fighting. |
| 121 | ** While she's somewhat annoyed with [[Pantheon/PlotArchetypes Elaine Bene]]'s going through so many boyfriends, she can't help but feel sorry for her needing to become their caretaker each time just before she's thinking of dumping them. They get along reasonably. |
| 122 | * Also… [[TeamChef she makes a mean bowl of ramen]], a food Naruto Uzumaki especially loves when he's not on duty. She has since taught Hinata how she makes it. Of course, ramen isn't the only food she's good at cooking. |
| 123 | * Is often very reluctant to fight because Kagutsuchi does most of her fighting and [[DestructiveSaviour will often cause more damage than whatever it is she's trying to stop]]. This doesn't mean that she '''can't''' fight - she's just well aware of how overpowered a huge, temperamental, fire-breathing dragon-phoenix hybrid is. And if the battle's relatively small-scale, she wouldn't even ''need'' to call upon her CHILD. |
| 124 | * Unlike its master, Kagutsuchi does not get along with others, especially the dragon-based deities (Bahamut, Shinryu, Caim's dragon Angelus, and Grima…''especially'' Grima). Due to Shinryu and Grima being quite the douchebags, Mai shares the same sentiment. She does her best to keep it reined it around Bahamut, and she doesn't oppose Angelus as much as she opposes Caim. |
| 125 | ** Lina Inverse, after seeing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRELZRPX76s Kagutsuchi in action]], has expressed the desire to obtain it should Mai ever tire of her {{Mon}}. Mai, after hearing of Lina's penchant for destruction, steadfastly refuses any and all offers for fear of even ''more'' destruction. Besides, her CHILD is bound to her, so that's not happening anytime soon, anyway. |
| 126 | * After her brother received the necessary healthcare treatment to cure him, Mai has gotten noticeably more relaxed and upbeat, almost to the point of being a downright silly GenkiGirl at times. |
| 127 | * She is also a frequent visitor to the House of Music for karaoke nights. |
| 128 | * Given that her school was victim to a private military coup once, she doesn't like such private contractors who think they have the right to violate personal rights just because they have power. And [[Pantheon/BusinessesAndCorporations Jonathan Irons]] is one of them, even after hearing how it was driven as a result of his son's death in a war. |

| 161 | * Has formed an odd friendship with Shinji Ikari. The two of them apparently bonded over the fact that [[spoiler: both their fathers are evil bastards.]] |
| 162 | * He and Peter Parker formed a friendship based on their shared skill in photography, and often trade tips with each other. [[spoiler: Peter also occasionally helps Go work through some of the difficulties of being a Superhero.]] |
| 163 | * He's sometimes been spotted with [[spoiler: [[TragicKeepsake a burnt version of Signal Chaser and a damaged driver's license with Chase's face on it.]]]] |
| 164 | * To say Go wasn't happy that his father ascended would be an understatement. [[spoiler: He's made a vow that if Banno tries anything, he'll [[{{Patricide}} kill him]] again.]] |
| 165 | ** He also feels sorry for the good-aligned deities [[Creator/MasakazuMorita that happen to sound like him]] such as [[Pantheon/HybridBeings Ichigo Kurosaki]] and [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Tidus]], knowing his father is pretty much making them all look bad. Also noticing a bit of irony in Tidus' relationship with his own father, which he thinks is still easily better by comparison. |
| 166 | * Despite what some would think, Go doesn't hate Monokuma for being an evil machine. He hates Monokuma, and by proxy his mastermind Junko Enoshima, for being a sociopathic despair freak who forces others to bend to their will. |

| 185 | * In the depths of the British seas lived a creature named Gorgo, close to an island call Nara. Found by treasure hunters Joe Ryan and Sam Slade, Gorgo was captured and brought to London to be shown as an attraction for the public. However, it turned out that Gorgo was only a baby and its mother (known by many as Ogra) followed her baby's cries to rescue it. After trashing the city when Joe insisted on keeping Gorgo trapped despite the imminent risk, Ogra rescued Gorgo and brought it back to the sea with her, the two then left in peace to return to their peaceful lives in the wild. |
| 186 | * Both ascended into the Pantheon by being lured in to a large ocean-like area where they currently reside away from most of the Pantheon's conflicts. Gorgo has at least been allowed to roam freely as he pleases, usually exploring the many houses to check out of curiosity. However few deities are willing to harm him, lest they incur the wrath of his mother, Ogra. Ogra herself has made a fierce reputation as a ferocious MamaBear who'll kill anything that threatens Gorgo's life. |
| 187 | * Both allied quickly with Kaiju who weren't irrationally aggressive, among these stood out the following: |
| 188 | ** Godzilla, as the ''de-facto'' King of the Monsters (including Kaiju) both follow his lead and authority, helped by them preferring to keep away from human civilization and instead reside in their underwater home. Godzilla takes a paternal approach when dealing with Gorgo and tries to make sure that he understands that not all humans are bad, so as to prevent unneeded conflicts from arising between Kaiju and humans. Ogra respects Godzilla's authority but will no doubt step in and stand her ground if she feels Gorgo is threatened. |
| 189 | ** [[Pantheon/ExtrovertCharacterization Gamera]] loves children and as Gorgo is one, he took a liking to the young Kaiju and its mother for these reasons, even protecting them fiercely from the threat of the Gyaos, which they are unprepared to confront on their own. Gamera tends to scout their Temple for their safety, usually going down if trouble arises in it. Ogra appreciates Gamera's respect of her territory and protection of her child and as such considers him an ally. Gorgo and Ogra both greatly fear the [[Pantheon/LifeAndCreation Gyaos]] thanks to the few experiences they've had and anytime the savage flying monsters are roaming the Pantheon, they both try their best to hide from danger, with Ogra being willing to face them all on her own to keep Gorgo safe, though luckily their allies help keep them safe. |
| 190 | ** As he has experiences with being forcefully taken from his home and used as a living exhibit, King Kong became another ally to them. He feels good that Gorgo was ultimately freed and was able to go back home with his mother as he himself didn't have such luck and ended up dead in New York for his troubles, never being able to be back in his home of Skull Island. The [[Pantheon/PrehistoricBeasts Brontosaurus]], another Kaiju deity who was taken from its home to be made an attraction, also bonded with Gorgo and Ogra over their situations, especialyl since unlike Kong he got to return back home instead of dying in the mainland and was also captured by British people and brought to London. |
| 191 | ** The [[Pantheon/VillainousRoles Cloverfield Monster]] found plenty reasons to sympathize with Gorgo and his mother, given that he himself had to deal with being separated from his mother though he went on a rampage due to it and had to be killed by the military. Ogra has ocasionally offered Clover a chance to stay at her temple for shelter, but Clover prefers to keep himself within his own, which she understands and respects. |
| 192 | ** As he kidnapped Godzilla's own child out of sadism, both loathe [=SpaceGodzilla=], moreso when he tried to force Ogra into the open by attacking her temple and kidnapping Gorgo. Accompanied by King Ghidorah, the two nearly killed her until Godzilla drove both off. She also detests Destoroyah, as he is well-known for killing Godzilla's son, Godzilla Jr. |
| 193 | * They've received praise from the Crew of the Satellite of Love, who call them the best part of their movie. They both appreciate it, this praise has also given them a positive relationship compared to other deities from movies they've riffed. Also helped by the Crew's respect of their space and peace. |
| 194 | * As ocean dwellers, they are wary of the many threats that lurk beneath the waves, particularly the malevolent Kraken who has attacked during their trips to the House of Pantheon/AquaticLife. Other fierce predators such as the Lagiacrus and its variants, the Liopleurodon, Meg and Plesioth have also attacked them in the many houses and have become enemies with the duo as a result. On the other hand the water-dwelling Orca found common grounds with the duo, as he went on a RoaringRampageOfRevenge to avenge his mate and unborn child, he was glad to hear that they had successfully been able to reunite and live in peace unlike him who took his own life once he achieved his revenge. |
| 195 | * Both allied with Aquaman, as the hero and King of Atlantis can command all sea life including them and he's more than eager to help keep them safe and out of danger. The two follow Aquaman's lead in the same vein as they do Godzilla's provided that the latter isn't the one calling the shots prior. Aquaman is at times interested in learning more about their species and if there are more of their kind out there. |
| 196 | * [[Pantheon/BeastHandlers Steve Irwin]] was interested in learning more about Gorgo and Ogra, given their rather tame attitude when not threatened or provoked. He's been able to successfully get along with both and even thought of further studying them in their temple to get better information and knowledge of their behavior and nature. Other deities in the House of Pantheon/BeastHandlers have also grown interested in studying Gorgo's species as well. |
| 197 | * They've both had to fend off attacks from Nergigante, who sees them as prey like the Elder Dragon it hunts, and constantly harasses them if given the chance to do so. Ogra has so far been more willing to look up to the sky and stay on guard at all times. Gorgo himself is rather afraid of facing Nergigante and as such hides whenever they spot it. Though Ogra most of the times proves herself able to match Nergigante's might and drive the Elder Dragon Hunter away if possible. |
| 198 | * As she captures strange creatures, Hunter J grew interested in capturing the young Gorgo, as she thought of the value the creature could hold in many black markets. Though luckily Godzilla was able to stop any kidnapping attempts, ever since she's remained on antagonistic terms with both Gorgo and Ogra, hoping to capture either or both and make a fortune through them. Other hunters in the House view both creatures as worthy prey and have taken to hunting them, much to Ogra's fury. |
| 199 | * At large the duo remains far away from the Pantheon's great conflicts, as Ogra feels its none of their business or interest to participate unless they have no other choice. For now they've been eyed by the [[Pantheon/HouseUprisings Nature Uprising]] as they are natural-born monsters who have reasons to oppose humanity and further the Nature Uprising's goals. |

| 220 | * Hector of Ostia was widely known for being a HotBlooded battle juggernaut, the manly man to his more more 'sensitive' friend Eliwood, who prefers to solve the problem by swinging his axe. And amongst his possible spouses are mostly physical fighters, including his friend Lyndis. But then, he proudly fathered Lilina, who's smaller in size, was at first shy and while developing, ended up more soft spoken… and having immense talent in magic, regardless of who was her mother. How that came to be was still a wonder to the Pantheon, but despite their differences, they're still a loving family, thus making the Pantheon agree to give them the spot. |
| 221 | ** So please don't ask who is Lilina's mother. We're never going to know, aside of possibilities being either the aforementioned Lyndis, her Pegasus Knight best friend Florina, or Florina's money-grubbing sister Farina. |
| 222 | * Since when Lilina came to prominence, Hector has unfortunately shed his mortal shell, when they both ascended, a heartwarming and tearful reunion commenced for both, with eventually Hector saying that Ostia really is in good hands with Lilina at helm. |
| 223 | ** But even then, Hector was quite shocked that the prince Zephiel that he saved would end up leading the war that would end with his death, exactly like how Durban warned him when he took up Armads (though he never cared on that warning, if he let Nergal blew Elibe up, there wouldn't be a place for Lilina to even set foot on). He kind of agreed with Lyndis that had he known that would be the case, he would definitely screw the rules and demand that King Desmond be a better father or else. |
| 224 | * On hearing that Nergal's predecessor, Gharnef, were around the Pantheon, Hector then told his daughter the story of Nergal's menace, so both agree that they need to take a stand against him… not to mention, the Fell Dragon Grima, a dragon more vile than any dragons they have encountered. |
| 225 | ** Both, however, has made good friends with good Dragon deities, as Hector had to MercyKill just one Fire Dragon in his entourage (thankfully Alexstrasza wasn't angry at this), and two of his companions are actually dragons, whereas Lilina has known the Dark Dragon Idunn who's actually more lonely and melancholic but has potential to be good. |
| 226 | * It was generally agreed that anyone that wants to court or harm Lilina would need to [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2176930 have a word with Hector]], and [[https://s3.amazonaws.com/AZComics/comic299.png it's usually not going to be pretty…]] unless you're [[VideoGame/FireEmblemTheBindingBlade Roy from Pherae]], and only if the option is 'court'. |
| 227 | ** Speaking of Roy... some say that while Lilina stands submissive and it just looks like [[ObliviousToLove Roy is just being dense about her feelings...]] they think [[MemeticBadass she's the one wearing the pants in the relationship]] due to her immense and ever-present growing magic power that [[ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend anyone who dares threaten Roy]] [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2212006 will be burnt without mercy]]. Lilina was embarrassed at that, while it's true she would give everything she got to protect Roy, she thinks she never went ''that'' far... right? |
| 228 | * Hector's skills with the axe is extremely phenomenal (some even think that [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BL2BdXhwQSQ he makes a helicopter out of swinging Armads above his head]]), yet he felt like he's the OnlySaneMan among many axe users in the Pantheon, chiefly [[VideoGame/{{Dota 2}} Axe]] and [[VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends Darius]], which made them rivals. Thankfully, there's at least [[VideoGame/GoldenAxe Gillius Thunderhead]], an axe-user who's at least sane for a friend… |
| 229 | * As a proof that she's very unlike her father, Lilina is a diligent student who often makes pass to the House of Magic, learning there and befriending a lot of people. She has also impressed [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Jaina Proudmoore]], whom Lilina sees as someone similar to her teacher back home Cecilia... |
| 230 | ** She also somehow became a really good friend with [[Manga/MagicKnightRayearth one of the Magic Knights, Hikaru Shidou]], due to how Lilina seems kind of 'more proficient' with fire magic and somehow [[Creator/JulieMaddalena sounding quite similar]]. |
| 231 | * The two ''dislike'' Garrosh Hellscream with a passion for many things, majorly because his rule was brutal and stands against what Ostia stood for. Hector also found out that aside of dueling with axes, they [[Creator/PatrickSeitz kind of sound the same]], which disgusts him even more. In the case of Lilina, she eventually found out on how Garrosh was responsible on destroying the spirit of her friend/new teacher Jaina with a nuke and was utterly angered at that (she never saw her in a bad mood directly, but still) |
| 232 | * Hector once got asked [[http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=2181885 if he could shoot lasers out of his eyes.]] Hector has denied that, Hey, if he has long-range to take care of, he can just throw his axe… right? |
| 233 | * There was a great group hug occurring the moment the last of the Blazing trio, Eliwood, ascended, with all of them exchanging stories, while Lilina gets to visit her 'aunt' Ninian again. |

| 260 | * Opposes: |
| 261 | ** Gasket: The House of Pantheon/FireAndHeat, [[Pantheon/{{Mothers}} Talia al Ghul]] |
| 262 | ** Ratchet: [[Pantheon/RoyalPersonalities Joffrey Baratheon]], [[Pantheon/{{Offsprings}} Shinji Matou]] |
| 263 | * By the time Rodney Copperbottom arrived at Bigweld Industries, the company had been taken over by the far more cynical and ruthless Phineas T Ratchet. A sleek new model robot, he wishes to make new models dominant and would like to see all "outmodes" to go to the Chop Shop and be harvested for parts, or undergo upgrading. However he is but the enforcer of his mother, the cruel Madame Gasket. Ultimately Phineas, Fender, and a reinvigorated Bigweld worked to stop the two. |
| 264 | * Applies to both of them |
| 265 | ** Upon their ascension mother and son looked for Bigweld and Rodney, and the two wanted to get even on him. And then they found [[MrAltDisney his inspiration]], who considers what they did to be sick, the robot equivalent of mutilating and organ harvesting. They considered the comparison disgusting, though only because they've found organic life far...[[{{Gorn}} messier]] and the likes of [[Pantheon/{{Zombies}} Stitches]] why they shouldn't even bother with messing with the organic. They are curious about the Church of the Broken God's mechanical "upgrades" of organic beings, though. |
| 266 | ** Not the only mother-son villain duo. Besides Cersei and Joffrey, there's the much more vitriolic [[Pantheon/CombatClothing Malekith]] and [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Morathi]]. However Gasket and Ratchet [[EvenEvilHasStandards think they're a little bit too sadistic]] and need some family therapy. |
| 267 | ** Madame Gasket got her son to make deals with the GUAM. He admires their efficiency, though as there are no humans on the world he comes from doesn't understand their preoccupied disdain for organics. Still, machine supremacy allows for machine advancement and shiny new models. Lumine and Triborg fit the model of "new models" they envision. However some "outmode" members of the GUAM get along poorly with them. |
| 268 | ** Due to Gasket and Ratchet's elitist views on "outmodes", old models like Bender and Marvin are their enemies. So's Robot Santa Claus, although he isn't someone they can afford to mess with. Optimus Prime opposes them for their views on old models as detestably racist, as does X. Interestingly both Gasket and Ratchet seem to respect X for how advanced he is(even if he is an old model), to the point he's BlackBox technology even a century after his creation. |
| 269 | ** The two want Dr Wily's help in order to ensure superiority of newer models, and he's skilled at making powerful Robot Masters. However Wily is also the kind of person to hijack ''them'' so they tread on thin ice. |
| 270 | * Applies to Madame Gasket |
| 271 | ** Madame Gasket is the woman behind the man. Yes, [[LadyLooksLikeADude she's a woman]]. In some ways, she's a twisted {{Foil}} to Dr Light [[EvilCounterpart as she is Bigweld]]; has a motherly view on her own robot, but cruel desires for the rest. Naturally the two hate each other, which is compounded by her and Ratchet's alliance to Dr Wily. She does a lot of the thinking for her son, especially when it comes to working with the GUAM. |
| 272 | ** A lot like Mom and the Fairy Godmother. The latter has large ambitions for her son, the former wishes supremacy over the robotic market, and the two are domineering evil mothers. The latter finds her contempt of those she finds ugly as alike to Gasket's contempt for outmodes. Of course Mom and Gasket still fight over the market, but the two enjoy each other's company and often put differences aside for their ambitions. |
| 273 | ** Madame Gasket has a more competitive relationship with Cersei Lannister. Both want supremacy in their own way and dominate(or at least try) their sons, though Cersei's desire for power is political/royal and Gasket's is economic for the most part. It's different enough that they can't outright work together. Interestingly they are both hypocrites in terms of their prejudices; Cersei is a FemaleMisogynist but doesn't include herself [[ItsAllAboutMe because of ego]], and Madame Gasket is an outmode who wants outmodes to be replaced/forcibly upgraded with shiny new models. |
| 274 | ** Interestingly, Madame Gasket isn't fond of Talia al Ghul. She appreciates her manipulation and larger plans she had for [[Pantheon/ChildArchetypes Damian Wayne]], but [[EvenEvilHasStandards but she can't get over]] [[OffingTheOffspring Talia having a hand in his death]] ([[BackFromTheDead he recovered from it]]). Sure Gasket is evil and a domineering mother, [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes but she still loves Phineas]]. She doesn't like the House of Fire and Heat, but that's because of how she met her mortal demise. |
| 275 | * Applies to Phineas T Ratchet |
| 276 | ** Because of his takeover of Bigweld Industries and ruthless BadBoss tendencies, Phineas is an enemy of honest corporate executives. He is also opposed by Mei Hatsune for his exploitative view of inventions, and counts Tony Stark as another enemy because in both of their cases he wants their inventions for himself and his own goals. |
| 277 | ** Fine working with the corrupt executives like Mr Burns, and agrees with the PredatoryBusiness take on things that Morris takes. He also works extorting finances with Moneybags. Phineas considers himself sleeker and more aesthetic than Seto Kaiba, though he doesn't pay the robot any attention. |
| 278 | ** Oddly enough, Ratchet seems to get along with Metal Sonic. He appreciates his sleek design and the principle of improving on [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} the organic original]], thinking his insistence of being "the real Sonic" is because he is the better version. Metal appreciates Phineas' respect, at least. However Ratchet considers Metallix's search for perfection a step too far [[AxCrazy for obvious]] [[OmnicidalManiac reasons]]. |
| 279 | ** While [[DaddysLittleVillain mommy's little villain]] and [[PsychopathicManchild in many ways a brat]], Phineas T Ratchet [[EvenEvilHasStandards considers Joffrey a childish scumbag]]. [[Monster/ASongOfIceAndFire Joffrey's so horrid]] that even ''Bigweld'' thinks Ratchet's right to think about it. Less about standards is Ratchet's contempt towards Shinji Matou for his apparent patheticness, as it pokes at his insecurity of his loser dad being an outmode. It's a fate he suffered after his mother was destroyed. |

| 299 | * Wary of: [[{{Pantheon/Subjects}} Rick Spender]] |
| 300 | * In the universe, there exists two realms: the realm of humanity, and Jutengai, a realm inhabited entirely by beasts. Within Jutengai resides Kumatetsu, an undisciplined yet lonely beast who also happens to be a potential candidate for the next Grandmaster of the Beast Kingdom. On one fateful night while he was traversing through the streets of Tokyo's Shibuya ward, Kumatetsu came across Ren, a young boy who had recently ran away from home after his mother passed. Needing someone to be his apprentice in order to strengthen his claim to the throne, Kumatetsu spontaneously decided to make Ren, whom Kumatetsu nicknamed as Kyuta, his first disciple despite the fact that human and beast worlds were forbidden from interacting with each other. Kyuta had initially rejected Kumatetsu's offer, but he ultimately gave in when he found himself trapped in the world of Jutengai. While they were hostile to each other at first, the two over time developed a father-son relationship that ultimately allowed both of them to grow as individuals, to the point that one could as to which of them was really the teacher. |
| 301 | * Having somehow made it to the pantheon without actually ascending, Kumatetsu had inadvertently made his official debut as some nameless fighter going up against [[Pantheon/FightingMindsets Kenpachi Zaraki]] at the [[Pantheon/FightingAndCombat Combat Dojo]]. At first, Kumatetsu was floundering in his match against the 11th Division captain by wasting his bigger form far too early in the battle, causing Kumatetsu to be be temporarily knocked to the ground. Just as the announcer was about proclaim that Kumatetsu was defeated, Ren emerged from the audience and got up onto the railing overlooking the fight. While everyone expected him to offer Kumatetsu words of encouragement, Kyuta subsequently began ranting that Kumatetsu was such a pathetic idiot for being knocked down so early in the fight. Angered by Ren's harsh words, Kumatetsu roared that he wasn't going to lose and began fighting with much more vigor, even landing a few good blows against Kenpachi. He still ultimately lost, but many were impressed with Kumatetsu's [[{{Determinator}} determination]]. Amongst those impressed was Kenpachi himself, who decided to vouch for Kumatetsu and Kyuta before the [[{{Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods}} Court of the Gods]] after finding out about their unascended status. Before long, Kumatetsu and Kyuta were able to claim a spot within the pantheon as the deities of [[ChildrenRaiseYou Parents Raised by their Children]]. |
| 302 | * [[{{Pantheon/FamilyDynamics}} Hana and the Wolf-Man]], another pair of characters created by [[{{Creator/MamoruHosoda}} Mamoru Hosoda]], were originally put off by Kumatetsu and his arrogant attitude. Their opinion of him immediately took a 180 when they heard about his relationship with Kyuta and how he had taken the boy off the streets after the death of his mother. Knowing all too well about children being left without a parent, the couple have been taking strides to bond with Kumatetsu and Kyuta, including inviting the two over to the couple's temple for a few meals. These meals usually accomplish nothing since Kumatetsu and Kyuta usually compete with each other to see who can eat the fastest instead of conversing with the couple, but it's the thought that counts. |
| 303 | * Within their world, Kumatetsu ultimately gave up his life so that he can reincarnate as a sword for Kyuta to use against a rampaging [[spoiler:[[BigBad Ichirouhiko]]]], saving both Kyuta and [[spoiler:Ichirouhiko's]] lives. Appropriately, the two were able to find some common ground with [[{{Pantheon/CouplesOrientation}} Red and the Transistor]] over Kumatetsu's sacrifice, as the Transistor contained the soul of Red's boyfriend, [[TakingTheBullet who had dove in front of the sword and allowed it to process him when it was aimed at Red]]. Despite being amicable with one another, it is not uncommon to find Kumatetsu and the Transistor engaged in an intense argument over who makes a better sword while Kyuta and Red try (and fail) to make small talk. |
| 304 | * For all of their bickering, both Kyuta and Kumatetsu absolutely loathe abusive fathers wihtin the pantheon, with [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Fire Lord Ozai]], [[{{Pantheon/ValuesAndEthics}} Ghetsis Harmonia]], [[{{Pantheon/Eyewear}} Relius Clover]], and [[{{Pantheon/Science}} Professor Hojo]] holding most of their hatred. On his end, Ozai regards the two as insignificant cretins that he can scorch at any time. Relius and Hojo, however, have both expressed a keen interest in experimenting on Kumatetsu, with the former wanting to steal his and Kyuta's souls to see what kind of Event Weapons they'll create while the latter seeks to inject Jenova cells into Kumatetsu after witnessing his bigger form in Kumatetsu's match against Kenpachi. As for Ghetsis, he has mostly avoided the two since after he had talked down to Kumatetsu by claiming that he was nothing more than a tool like any other Pokemon, which Ghetsis came to regret almost immediately when he saw Kumatetsu charging at him in his bigger form. |
| 305 | ** On a side note, Kyuta and Kumatetsu gained an ally in [[{{Pantheon/CharacterRoles}} N]] after he watched his father try to flee from the rampaging Kumatetsu. Strangely, the duo's alliance with N has only made them hate Ghetsis even more than they originally did. Although Ghetsis' abuse of N was bad enough on its own, the fact that N wasn't even Ghetsis' biological child made Ghetsis completely irredeemable to them, considering the nature of Kyuta and Kumatetsu's [[InterspeciesAdoption relationship]]. |
| 306 | * Having heard that someone named Kuma had ascended to the pantheon, [[Pantheon/MurderAndAssassination Heihachi Mishima]] was at first pleased to hear that one of his pet bears has made it to the pantheon, and headed over to the temple to continue the bear's training. Suffice to say, he did not find his bear at their own temple. Instead, he found Kumatetsu lying around in a pile of his own trash and empty alcohol bottles. Enraged that someone like Kumatetsu had made it in while Kuma didn't, Heihachi immediately tried to kill Kumatetsu, only to be repelled when Kumatetsu unleashed his [[HulkingOut bigger form]] on Heihachi. Kumatetsu has hated Heihachi ever since. |
| 307 | * [[{{Pantheon/NaturePreservers}} Mowgli]] and [[{{Pantheon/BeastOther}} Baloo]] were quite thrilled when they had first saw Kumatetsu and Kyuta, who were essentially another duo consisting of a anthropomorphic bear raising a human child. However, their first meeting had gotten off to a bad start when Kyuta, who was in the middle of being chased by Kumatetsu after one their frequent arguments, ducked between Baloo legs, causing Kumatetsu to smash right into Baloo and send both of them to the ground. The two were about to trade blows when Kyuta, with the help of Mowgli, got both bears to calm down, allowing them to properly introduce themselves. Enjoying Baloo and Mowgli's carefree attitudes, Kyuta and Kumatetsu have found them to be enjoyable to be around. On their end, Mowgli has started copying Baloo's movements after hearing about how Kyuta had done so with Kumatetsu when he was still a child. |
| 308 | ** [[{{Pantheon/BeastOther}} Bagheera]] was a little less enthusiastic about his companions hanging out with Kyuta and Kumatetsu. While he certainly didn't think that either Kyuta or Kumatetsu were bad people to be around, he was rather aggravated that he now had another duo of idiots that he had to be an OnlySaneMan to. |
| 309 | ** Although Kyuta and Kumatetsu were fond of their friendship with Mowgli and Baloo, their friendship had an unintended consequence in the form of Shere Khan, a consequence that made himself known to the duo when he cornered Kyuta in his temple one day right when he was about to leave for the house of [[{{Pantheon/BeastOther}} Beast Other]]. While Kyuta could put up more of a fight against Shere Khan thanks to his training with Kumatetsu, the skirmish inevitable ended in Shere Khan's favor. As Shere Khan was about to have to deal the finishing blow, Kumatetsu had returned to find out why Kyuta was taking so long. Seeing the Bengal Tiger looming over his apprentice, [[CurbStompBattle Kumatetsu dissuaded Shere Khan from killing Kyuta with a swift punch to the face]]. Since then, Shere Khan has swore revenge against Kumatetsu, promising to eat both him and Kyuta for what Shere Khan considers an embarrassing defeat. |
| 310 | * [[{{Pantheon/Locations}} Chihiro Ogino]] was able to get along quite well with Kyuta over how [[RecycledPremise similar both of their backgrounds are]], given that they're both children that have found themselves trapped inside a world parallel to the human world and having to work there in order to earn their keep, all the while enduring [[FantasticRacism racism against human beings]] in the process. After finding out about how identical their stories are to each other, Kyuta usual response is to awkwardly laugh and rub his neck whenever the subject turns up in a conversation. Still, Kyuta can't help but be grateful that he ended up under Kumatetsu's care instead of winding up with someone like [[WouldHurtAChild Yubaba]]. |
| 311 | * According to the beast realm, humanity is susceptible to a void within their hearts that is fueled by [[ThePowerOfHate negative feelings such as rage and loneliness]]. Should someone be consumed by the darkness within their heart, such as [[spoiler:Ichirouhiko]], they would be able to access a variety of supernatural powers at the cost of their sanity. While Kyuta was ultimately able to resist his inner darkness back in his universe, he fears that he will once again be susceptible to his inner void now that he's surrounded by deities like [[{{Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow}} Chernabog]] that draw their powers from darkness. Chernabog himself has taken an immense interest in Kyuta's inner darkness, and is currently making plans to turn the boy into another one of his ghostly minions. |
| 312 | ** Kyuta has also been wary of a certain [[{{Pantheon/NarrativeSettings}} Rick Spender]] since he happens to contain an extremely dangerous shadow spirit within himself, causing Rick to wonder on how exactly Kyuta managed to even find out about the shadow spirit in the first place. |

| 332 | * Tatsumi Oga was a young delinquent and first-year student at Ishiyama High, the delinquent school. Oga's selfish, abusive and violent personality resulted in him being feared by his schoolmates and to be considered the strongest delinquent in the school. One day, he saw a large man floating down the river, pulled him to shore and the man split in half revealing a baby boy, who quickly became very attached to Oga. Oga soon found out that the baby was Beelzebub IV, the son of the ruler of Hell, and that he was sent to Earth to destroy humanity in place of his {{Otaku}} father, who was too busy to do it personally. Oga also learned that he had been chosen as the one to raise Baby Beel, along with the baby's maid Hilda, because he possessed the qualities of the ideal parent for the future Devil King: strength, arrogance and a think-nothing-of-his-fellow-man outlook. Oga initially tried to get rid of Baby Beel by trying to lay him off on somebody else who was stronger and more malicious than himself. However, he eventually grew fond of Baby Beel and [[ChildrenRaiseYou became a much more responsible and caring person while raising him]]. Ultimately, Oga fully embraced his role as Baby Beel's father and has sworn to raise him to not destroy humanity. |
| 333 | * Oga and Baby Beel originally ascended as The Gods of BadassAndBaby [[BadassAndChildDuo Duos]]. Oga initially spent most of his time trying to pawn off Baby Beel to various other gods before eventually warming up to him. However, the two came under scrutiny and were ultimately removed from the pantheon. Fortunately, when the gods learned of Oga and Baby Beel's highly improved relationship and fighting prowess, the two were re-ascended into the pantheon as the Gods of Parent-Child Teams. |
| 334 | * When they re-ascended, Oga immediately exclaimed for everyone to grovel before him, which escalated into a fight with several gods who didn't regard him as much of a challenge. Afterwards, Oga and Baby Beel got settled inside their temple. When given the option of apointing a herald, Oga decided to appoint his best friend Furuichi to the position, mostly because Oga thinks that he's the only one who can handle it. |
| 335 | * Oga's desire to raise Baby Beel to not destroy humanity drew the attention of some "Anti-Anti-Christ" deities, a group of heroic deities who chose to defy their role as TheAntiChrist. Rin Okumura was sent to test their strength and invite them to join the group. Their encounter with Rin resulted in a [[https://www.deviantart.com/desert-croc/art/One-Minute-Melee-Rin-Okumura-Vs-Tatsumi-Oga-549490343 One Minute Melee]] which [[spoiler:Oga and Baby Beel ended up winning]]. Afterwards, Oga and Baby Beel agreed to join them, with Baby Beel as the TagalongKid and Oga as the TokenHuman. Oga has also developed a rivalry with Rin, who intends to challenge him to a rematch someday. |
| 336 | * Being a fan of HumongousMecha, Oga quickly became friends with Kamina and Simon. He particularly gets along with Kamina due to having a similar HotBlooded nature and strong values regarding manliness. Similarly, Oga bonded with Simon over their mutual habit of [[CallingYourAttacks Calling Their Attacks]] and came to strongly respect him upon hearing of how Simon had [[spoiler:fought against the Anti-Spiral with his fists]]. |
| 337 | * Through their friendship with Simon, Oga and Baby Beel also befriended Ryuko Matoi. Oga noted that Ryuko's relationship with Senketsu was similar to his own with Baby Beel. Ryuko also appreciates that Oga [[NotDistractedByTheSexy doesn't act perverted]] towards her skimpy outfit. |
| 338 | * Unsurprisingly, Oga quickly befriended Daigo Kazama, whom he respects for being the God of JapaneseDelinquents. After a brief sparring session in order to test each others' strengths, Oga agreed to become part of Daigo's massive network of like-minded delinquents, mostly because it allows him to look for strong opponents and keep the bullies among them in check. |
| 339 | * Aside from Daichi, Oga also gets along with many other delinquents in the pantheon. Yusuke and Kuwabara both respect him and have joked that Baby Beel strongly reminds them of Koenma, who is similarly almost always seen sucking on a pacifier. The members of the Joestar family approve of his aspiration to properly raise Baby Beel as well as his devotion to his friends. Oga's intial run-in with Joe Yabuki resulted into a fight, as Joe's volatile nature and their shared lack of tact quickly resulted in a misunderstanding. However, they managed to find common ground over their mutual liking of Baby Beel, as Joe has a soft spot for children. |
| 340 | * Oga and Baby Beel once participated in the [[VideoGame/JStarsVictoryVs Jump Battle Tournament]], during which they teamed up with Ichigo Kurosaki and Hiei. They've all remained on good terms with each other and occasionally hang out, Baby Beel in particular has developed a strong liking for Hiei due to both of them being Demons. |
| 341 | * Being a fan of ''Dragon Ball Z'' and ''Dragon Quest'', Oga couldn't hold in his inner fanboy upon meeting Goku, Vegeta, Angelo and Nine face to face. He proceeded to show them that he could go "super saiyan" as well, although he ended up destroying a few buildings in the demonstration. |
| 342 | * When Oga demonstrated the ability to do a Shoryuken and a psycho crusher, Ryu and Bison were surprised to see him do it. The latter has shown an interest in brainwashing Oga into one of his soldiers. |
| 343 | * Oga and Baby Beel are also on good terms with Leon Montana and Mathilda Lando, another BadassAndChildDuo with a parent-and-child dynamic. Oga respects Leon for his devotion towards protecting Mathilda at all costs, to the point that he [[spoiler:had sacrificed himself to save her]], as well as teaching her his code of honor. Baby Beel has similarly taken a liking to Mathilda, as he likes her desire to fight and isn't put off by her odd behaviour. |
| 344 | * Having a pretty low opinion of his world's Seven Deadly Sins, Oga was initially dismayed to learn that a similar group resides within the pantheon. However, he quickly came to like the Seven Mortal Sins for being far more {{Noble|Demon}} and likeable by comparison. Oga frequently likes to challenge Lucifer and Beelzebub to fights, as he respects their strength. However, he also tends to annoy Asmodeus due to his lack of interest in having sex with her, with her attempts to seduce him frequently resulting in him running away from her. Baby Beel similarly likes all of the Sins and has come to view Beelzebub in particular as an older sister. |
| 345 | * While looking for a playmate for Baby Beel, Oga came across the Demon Lords Belial and Nebiros, who were similarly looking for another friend for Alice. Although Oga was weirded out by them and rather wary of Alice, he found her to be a decent enough playmate for Baby Beel, who finds her disturbing behaviour to be entertaining and fun. |
| 346 | * Both of them strongly dislike Ghetsis Harmonia. They particularly hate him not only due to him having been an [[AbusiveParents abusive foster father]], but also for when he tried to take Baby Beel away in order to turn him into a battery via crying-baby-lightning-bolt. |
| 347 | * They're not sure what to think of Beelzebub, Lord of the Flies. On one hand, they don't appreciate being occasionally attacked because of Baby Beel being mistaken for him. On the other hand, Oga likes him more than Baby Beel's father, Beelzebub III, who is outright insane with basically zero attention span, and Baby Beel considers him to be cool. |

| 372 | * Hana was a college student whose life took an unexpected turn when a classmate she liked turned out to be a Wolf-Man; the [[LastOfHisKind last surviving descendant]] of the now extinct [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_wolf Honshu wolf]]. Upon becoming a couple, they had two half-wolf children; Yuki, who was born on a snowy night, and Ame, who was born on a rainy day. Things seemed bright for the young family... [[https://youtu.be/nYpLJtDzod4?t=50 until the Wolf Man unexpectedly died on a stormy day.]] Left to take care of their two children alone, Hana faced a number of challenges along the way, both in the city with child services and in a remote countryside after eventually moving there. Throughout all of this though, Hana maintained a good heart and was incredibly dedicated in taking care of her children. |
| 373 | * Initially, Hana found the Pantheon to be a very unusual place to take care of her children, especially after learning about it and being accepted a spot there. While it does have the urban landscapes and rural countrysides that she has been used to, there's a lot more happening in the Pantheon than in her original world, with plenty of far more dangerous situations that could threaten her, Ame, and Yuki's well-being. Even with the new dangers that can happen, Hana ensured her children's well-being and is still making sure that they're safe. |
| 374 | ** But there was a surprise in store. Hana learned she would be sharing the temple with another person from her world... the very same Wolf-Man whom she fell in love with long ago. When the pair reunited, they were both in tears as Hana rushed into his arms, the pair exchanging a loving embrace. Many in the House of Family cheered and applauded the couple's reunion, their hearts warmed by the scene before them. |
| 375 | * Nowadays, the couple can be found in their temple, which leads to Hana's home in the countryside. Yuki has transferred to another school as a human whilst Ame, now remaining as a wolf, protects the nearby forest. Despite this, Hana and the Wolf-man are proud of their children, knowing they've found their true calling. They still make visits to the Pantheon to visit, Ame more so as he became an honorary [[Pantheon/NaturePreservers Nature Preserver.]] |
| 376 | * Hana quickly found friends in the Pantheon to keep her company, mostly her neighbours in the Sub-House of Pantheon/{{Mothers}}. Kitty Forman has brought her, Terra Branford and Sanae Furukawa over for snacks, where the four have bonded over their shared struggles in motherhood, as well as the differences between their home worlds. For his part, [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Red Forman]] and the Wolf-Man let the ladies do their thing, all the while listening to them chat as they continue with their own conversation. |
| 377 | ** The pair also gained friends in the form of the Holy Protectors Of Family, with all four of them praising Hana's skills as a mother and have given her the utmost of respect. And while the Wolf-Man did leave a little left over, Mufasa came forward and stated he did his best to raise the children, and even in death his love for Hana never went away. For that, the Wolf-Man appreciated the lion's kind words. |
| 378 | * Hana and the Wolf-Man get along well with many of their close neighbours, some of them also being [[HalfHumanHybrid half-human hybrids]] just like Ame and Yuki. Some, like Greg Universe and Atalanta, are supportive of the couples' relationship, whilst Nowi and Nah have been playing hanging out with Ame and Yuki due to their share "half-human" heritage. The Nohr Royal Siblings have also shown support for the young family, as they are firm believers in [[ThickerThanWater family loyalty]] above all else. |
| 379 | ** The young couple also became quick friends with Belle and The Beast, who couldn't help but note the similarities between Hana, the Wolf-Man, and themselves. They can be seen conversing with each other from time to time, sometimes bringing up the challenges of growing up in unusual circumstances... and also giving Gaston more than his fair share of crap. |
| 380 | * While many have been supportive of their relationship, there are still those in the Pantheon who find the idea of Hana and the Wolf-man having children, to put it bluntly, [[{{Squick}} repulsive.]] Both Lord Okkoto and the tanukis of Tama Hill in particular were absolutely disgusted by their consummation, the former going so far as to try to the kill the pair. But just like with Ashitaka, the blind boar god couldn't land a direct hit and was, as Moro put it when she came to stop the rampage, rather embarrassing. |
| 381 | ** While she does find their relationship to be rather off-putting, Moro still approved of Hana and the Wolf-Man's union. In some ways it reminded her of San and Ashtiaka's own relationship, plus she was more than happy to learn the lineage of the Honshu wolf lived on in Ame and Yuki as well. For that, Hana and the Wolf-Man were thankful and will sometimes come to chat with the wolf goddess, with Ame and Yuki playing with Moro's own sons. |
| 382 | * Considering he shares a [[RaisedByWolves special connection with wolves]], it was only natural that Mowgli the Man-Cub became friends with Hana and the Wolf-Man's children, even taking them to the jungle and introducing them to Baloo and Bagheera. Suffice to say, the young couple were more than happy to see their children were making their fair share of friends. |
| 383 | * It's no surprise that these two have come to oppose the Child Abuse Supporters, with Hana taking a particular dislike to [[EvilStepmother Lady Tremaine]] and [[TranshumanTreachery Ragyo Kiryuin]] for their treatment of their respective daughters. On the other side of things, the Wolf-Man quickly grew to disdain [[AbusiveParents Fire Lord Ozai]] and [[ArchnemesisDad Relius Clover]] for their "methods" of treating their children. All the aforementioned child abusers couldn't care less for the couple's opinions, but it did lead to Ragyo threatening to have [[WouldHurtAChild Ame and Yuki skinned and turned into rugs]]. It took the combined effort of Hana, Mufasa, San, Ashitaka, and a passing Roy Mustang to hold back a [[BerserkerRage fully transformed Wolf-Man]] from attempting to tear out her throat. He was lucky they were there to stop him. Had the other not been present... well, he'd be a dead wolf. Again. |
| 384 | ** This opposition to abusive folks has extended to those such as Homer Simpson and Catelyn Stark, despite not being evil. Both are considered, in some regards, loving parents, they still treated some of their kids - Bart and Jon Snow respectively - rather coldly. But when it comes to conflicting opinions the Anakin Skywalker takes the cake. Both Hana and the Wolf-Man were horrified upon learning what the Jedi did as Darth Vader; in between blowing up his daughter's home planet and cutting of his son's hand. But despite this, Vader was able to redeem himself and save his son from being killed by the emperor. That part they're fine with, but they still have issues with Skywalker. [[Film/StarWarsTheForceAwakens Especially with Kylo Ren.]] |
| 385 | * After the fiasco with Ragyo, the couple soon learned of her associate, Team Plasma's Sage Ghetsis Harmonia, and immediately took a massive dislike to him, not only because of the way he abused his son N, [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/PokemonUltraSunAndMoon but also for nearly killing Lillie during his time with Team Rainbow Rocket.]]]] They've taken it upon themselves to befriend N and help him out adjust to the assortment of human inhabitants. Progress has been made, and N has appreciates the support given by Hana and the Wolf-Man. On the other hand, Ghetsis has been heard ranting about the couple, calling their children "freaks without human hearts." |
| 386 | * Several of the Pantheon's big game hunters, such as Pokemon Hunter J and Gaston have set their sights on the Wolf-Man and his children, due to their status as being the last descendants of the Hokkaido wolf. Most of them have been financed by the likes of Cruella [=DeVil=], Mr. Burns, and Looten Plunder, the former two especially as they want to add "Wolf-skin coats" to their fashion collection. Hana was horrified to say the least, and quickly called up the Nature Preservers to ensure her lover ''and'' children didn't end up as next year's fashion wear. |
| 387 | * Best not to talk to Hana and the Wolf-Man about their children being direwolves. Yes, they're on good terms with the Starks and they've opposed Tywin Lannister for using his children as chess pieces in his conquest for Westeros but never, ''ever'' call Ame and Yuki direwolves. You won't know what [[BerserkButton the Wolf-Man is capable of.]] |
| 388 | * No one knows what the Wolf-Man's true name is, not even Hana herself. It's unknown whether he keeps it a secret by choice or if it doesn't really matter, but it did lead to a peculiar discovery. Upon going to the House of Pantheon/TimeAndTemporality, Hana discovered an AlternateUniverse where her lover [[Fanfic/WolfChildrenFanfic survived his fall]] and helped out in raising the kids. [[TheReveal Then came the name.]] It turned out the Wolf-Man's name, at least in that universe, was... Balto. Hana nearly bursted out laughing at this revelation, as her lover had befriended the [[WesternAnimation/{{Balto}} wolf-dog of the same name]] a few days earlier. Perhaps it's a good thing the Wolf-Man decided to stick with Tyler for a time. Whatever the case may be, Hana is just content to spend some quality time with him... though she has taken to call the Wolf-Man Balto from time to time as a pet name. He doesn't seem to mind one bit. |

| 404 | * Ignored By: Walt Disney |
| 405 | * Melody came to existence through the time where Disney started creating sequels for the Franchise/DisneyAnimatedCanon, many of whom [[{{Sequelitis}} were rejected by fans]] for poor writing and/or recycled plots. But not all of them got cast aside, as Melody provided to be a fan favorite. It helps that she sounds like [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX Rikku]], which both Tidus and Yuna noticed. |
| 406 | ** In [[VideoGame/FinalFantasyX2 addition]] to Yuna, Melody has also taken up friendship with [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Littlefoot]], since he's also from a series infamous for it's sequels. |
| 407 | ** Sometime along the way, after Atlantica became a dominion, and after hearing of the game Blitzball, she somehow managed on assemble a team representing her mother's home place, and became its Team Captain. |
| 408 | * Melody once tried to join the pantheon as the Goddess of SpinOffspring, but lost to Sam Flynn. The two hold no ill feelings towards each other, and get along well for their similar nature. The two, along with [[Franchise/TheLionKing Kiara and Kion]] (and, to a lesser extent, [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Jane, Danny]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDameDisney Zephyr]]) are officially acknowledged by the pantheon as Disney offspring in the main canon. |
| 409 | ** Fortunately, her uncanny appearance to her parents got her a trope at last. Sam was the first to greet her upon ascension. |
| 410 | * Thanks to her love of the sea, she gets along very well with most water deities, especially Aquaman on account of his own infamous background. [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Misty]] is also another deity she gets along with, out of their shared love of water and their tomboyish nature. |
| 411 | * Part of her ascension package is the ability to switch between her human and mermaid forms, which she was glad to have. Now she won't have to worry about drowning like she did some time ago, though she's been seen swimming with her human legs sometimes. |
| 412 | * Melody also has a bond with Jak and Daxter, on account of the latter [[Creator/MaxCasella sounding like]] her friend Tip. The two, in return, claim that she [[Creator/TaraStrong sounds a lot like]] Keira. [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Twilight Sparkle]] and [[Pantheon/CharacterWriting Ben Tennyson]] (back when he was ten years old) both also state that Melody sounds (or sounded) like them. |
| 413 | ** Rival duo Ratchet and Clank also mention that Melody's voice reminds them of Talwyn, though [[Pantheon/ReligiousPractice Lightning]] holds this claim nowadays. |
| 414 | * All in all, Melody's feelings towards Ursula are mixed. Positive on that she got her parents together; negative on her being a sea witch who [[AndNowYouMustMarryMe tried to marry her father]]. And don't even let her be reminded of Ursula's [[ReplacementScrappy sister]], [[RememberTheNewGuy Morgana]]. |
| 415 | ** Though Clank is investigating the theory that Morgana [[WMG/TheLittleMermaid1989 may actually be Ursula in disguise, using a spell to cause everyone, including herself (by accident) into thinking that she had a crazy sister]]. |
| 416 | ** It got a bit complicated when [[Film/{{Descendants}} Uma]] was discovered. Melody does pity her first cousin-once removed, however, citing that if Uma had been raised in a loving family instead of on an island ghetto filed with hatred and abuse, she would've made a great partner in exploring the seas. |
| 417 | * She is aware that she and Sam are disowned by Walt Disney. Despite that, most good-aligned Disney deities treat the two as one of them, including Mickey Mouse. Melody is very touched by all this kindness. |
| 418 | * Melody has a strong bond with [[Pantheon/NormalCombat Keldeo]] because of their shared curiosity with the outside world, association with water, and having to fix a mess they caused in a moment of ignorance towards their families/guardians. It is also to note that Melody is the only Disney deity with a Mythical Pokémon as a partner. |

| 441 | * Usually, when it comes to the not-normal stuff that kids in fiction can get themselves into, it's natural to want to keep one's parents out of it. Maybe they'd hate it, maybe they'll block their children from accepting the call. Maybe they're right to do so. But once in a while, there are those who are supportive of their child's choices. Enter Greg Universe. Father of Steven Universe, ally of the Crystal Gems, and boyfriend of the group's original leader, Rose Quartz[[labelnote:*]]as there's no UndeadTaxExemption on his Earth, the Gems can't be citizens, so Greg and Rose couldn't get officially married even if they wanted to[[/labelnote]]. He's just a humble musician, carwash owner, and handyman, and is supportive of Steven's actions. It kinda helps that he's been with them before Steven was born. |
| 442 | ** Most of his past is a mystery, but all that is known was that he was raised by strict parents who didn't really care about his desires for music. But then one day a classmate of his made him listen to a song called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6kcs_tc-b8 "Mr. Universe"]] that made Greg decide to run away from home and never look back. This single act would spur Greg to fall in love with Rose Quartz and give birth to Steven. With that in mind, his parenting was mostly to give Steven the freedom Greg himself never had. What happened to his parents is not known -- except Greg tried mailing letters to them, whether or not they reciprocated is a different question altogether -- but Greg is fine not thinking about them and is okay with where he is live. He chose his cousin Andy to be his Herald, given that he's now getting accustomed to what Greg had been doing for the longets time. |
| 443 | ** Naturally, the Crystal Gems were there to welcome him, especially his son Steven. Greg then took the time to tour across the Pantheon, |
| 444 | * Similar to his son, Greg's friendly, easygoing nature has lead to many deities finding it hard to outright hate him, though there are some that do. |
| 445 | * Greg's temple takes the form of his car wash ''It's A Wash'', but he spends more time in his van, which is usually parked nearby if he isn't driving it. |
| 446 | * Aside from music, audio technology, and vehicles (he ''does'' have to maintain his van somehow), he's handy enough to build (outdoor) gyms, beds, spaceship-carts, and ''helped'' build an actual ''spaceship'' (with Pearl) in very short notice. The house that Steven lives in? Built by him too, with help from the Gems. |
| 447 | * Jake has noted that Greg [[https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1376372/ sounds like]] his brother Jermaine. So has Finn. And they like his carefree attitude (for Jake) and the fact that he's a good father (for Finn). |
| 448 | * Many have speculated that he's the same Greg that visited [[WesternAnimation/OverTheGardenWall The Unknown]]. Greg himself hasn't said anything on the matter, though some swear to have heard him humming "Potatoes and Molasses" while washing his van. The speculation became more rampant when the Greg who visited said Unknown ascended. |
| 449 | * Greg and Max bonded over their [[BoldlyComing love affairs with an extraterrestrial]]. The latter for his part also finds the method behind Steven's conception…strange, to say the least, and sympathizes with the former for his loss. |
| 450 | * Some would think he disapproves of those who believe in LoveAtFirstSight, as he's made that mistake with Rose and realized that wasn't much to build a relationship on. However, he's nice enough of a guy to AgreeToDisagree with those who approve of it. As long as the love works out, it's okay. |
| 451 | * Due to his music background, he's shown helping out many of the gods in the House of Music as a manager. |
| 452 | * He'd rather not get involved in any conflicts, but just in case he ends up in one that he can't escape from, he always has a guitar handy (upgraded at Bismuth's forge) and a portable speaker that—together—do periodical damage to nearby enemies, or heal/buff his allies. |
| 453 | * For the longest time, Greg had wanted to fuse with Rose. Eventually he was able to fuse with his son to create the four-armed Steg via rocking out on their guitars. The first time he was revealed, ''numerous'' gods and goddesses swooned over him. He doesn't use this form to fight, but rather acts more like a therapist holding rock concerts with his guitar riffs able to cast gusts of wind to allow people to fly. |
| 454 | * ''"If every pork chop were perfect, we wouldn't have any hot dogs."'' |

| 472 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/PovertyAndRiches The Park and Kim Families]] |
| 473 | * Margaret Mildred Kittredge is a young girl from the 1930s who initially led a normal, carefree life in Cincinnati, Ohio and, unlike most girls her age, had a strong zeal for adventure and curiosity, which eventually led her to develop an interest in journalism and investigation, desiring to become a reporter for the ''Cincinnati Register'', regardless of whether the staff underestimate her due to her age. She got her nickname, "Kit" through a combination of a reference to her mother’s name and through the song ''Pack Up Your Troubles in Your Old Kit-Bag'', which her father used to sing to her during childhood. Unfortunately around the time she wanted to prove herself, TheGreatDepression was starting to take effect, causing several of her friends to lose their homes and her family to be in jeopardy of going through the same situation when they start losing money. This further motivated Kit to prove herself as a competent reporter, a goal that proved tougher as she wound up going through a series of events alongside her friends, Ruthie Smithens and Stirling Brown, that involved a lot of unscrupulous and criminal acts. Even so, she was able to prove her worth and Kit is ultimately able to be properly recognized by the ''Cincinnati Register'' alongside keeping her family financially secure during the dark times of the 1930s, though Kit would see herself going through a few more adventures and travels. |
| 474 | * Thanks to her tales and exploits, Kit was able to develop a likable reputation in Cincinnati, being a reputable reporter, a girl who was willing to help others as much as she does wanting to write a good story for her desired occupation. The fact that this was during the Great Depression, a time of great desperation and misfortune for Americans meant that she was seen as a bright star in a dark time for many. It was because of these qualities that Kit was recognized by a divine world known as the Pantheon, who deemed her worthy of being an ascended representative. This came in the form of an award cheque by an anonymous figure that Kit would receive after one of her more recent exploits and while initially skeptical, the girl proved feisty enough to give it a shot about what the Pantheon was about, albeit under the permission of her family. This led her to a rather spectacular scene that involved a very polished and grand building and a more sophisticated interior, a sight that proved a lot to take in for Kit, for she was looking at the House of Pantheon/JobsAndProfession. Amazed by the opportunity she was provided with, plus some words of encouragement from some of the deities she would encounter, she declared it an honor to be a part of the Pantheon and is eagerly looking forward to more adventures and exploits she can experience in the divine realms. |
| 475 | * Kit is an honest and sociable girl, helped by the fact that she was raised by hard-working parents and her interests approved by her older brother. Though unlike most girls her age, she doesn't take an interest in girly stuff and activities and prefers more physical and daring stuff, the kind that boys are more likely into, making Kit a {{tomboy}}, even if she has an affinity for dance. Of course, her interest in having adventures and more “rougher” activities compared to other girls led to her having a pretty feisty and determined attitude, which helped greatly in her desire to do reporting. Complimenting her determined nature is a desire to do right, greatly sympathizing with those who were impoverished (better known as “hobos” during the 1930s), and uncovering the truth about events, even if she potentially found herself in several risky situations because of it, considering she's seen the effects and consequences of debt and poverty first-hand and wrote her first big report specifically on the oppressive treatment of hobos and how society needs to be better. Finally, Kit’s biggest motivation is to provide for her family whom she is close, especially her father whom she idolizes and looks up to above all else, to the point where much of Kit’s hobbies and personality traits are inspired by her old man. |
| 476 | * One of Kit’s defining traits is a desire to travel and witness the outside world as much as she can, and the Pantheon provided a very good opportunity to further her desire for such. Needless to say, Kit was a bit overwhelmed by just how much she was getting to see in the divine realms and admitted that she's a sucker for wanting to go to the Houses of Pantheon/{{Nature}} and Pantheon/LocationsAndSettings just to get a good glimpse at a thick forest or an expansive countryside. To her delight, Kit found herself making friends with similar-minded girls like Heidi and Merida, who were just as adventurous as Kit and came to respect her desire for a good journey. Kit was also eager to write a story about girls who liked to wander in the outdoors like Heidi and Merida and the two were open to supporting her endeavors. Dora the Explorer was another OutdoorsyGal like Kit and although the former had some girly antics, she got along with the latter pretty well, not to mention Kit has had some experience in dealing with animals, with her having a pet dog named Bessie being a notable indicator, plus she thought that spending some time with Dora might help her with learning about new animals and potentially handling them. |
| 477 | ** Befitting for a {{tomboy}}, Kit doesn't express much in the way of “flouncy” stuff like her friend Ruthie does, even if their friendship is indelible. Instead of playing with dolls or trying to look fancy, she would rather play baseball either in her neighborhood or at the House of Pantheon/{{Sports}}, which she has taken a liking to and is interested in the many physical activities that are showcased. And to her fortune, much of the Pantheon was very welcoming of assertive, independent girls like Kit, and she was happy to meet more people who resembled her in personality, hobbies, and demeanor, such as Chie Satonaka and Kagura, who were all quite sporty and were eager to train Kit in her sports interests, given her younger age, plus Chie herself is impressed by the adventures Kit has gone through due to their similarities of having to do their detective work, albeit at least Kit didn't have to deal with a potential murder case and discovering supernatural dark forces, though the younger girl would have thought of the idea of investigating such to be good, if too risky of a challenge for her to take. Although unicorns and the like were more on the girly side of things, Kit liked Rainbow Dash quite a lot as both were competitive and liked a good adventure to get themselves involved in, with the alicorn being eager to hang out with Kit and get her accustomed to Equestria whenever the kid reporter develops an interest in visiting it. |
| 478 | * Kit loves having an adventure more than anything else and it's a major reason for why she opted to get into reporting in the first place. Although the Pantheon proved to be a very expensive realm, many still considered it a very dangerous place to venture out in, which annoyed Kit as she made it clear that she didn't want to be huddled up in her domain for too long. Thankfully, there were places in the divine realms that were considered safe for traveling and adventuring in (for the most part), and there were kids around her age or even younger who had a zeal for long and exciting journeys. Two of those kids, Jack and Annie, tended to occupy a treehouse where they started their adventures by being transported to the past via books, and there was a quartet that was composed of four kids who worked under the Pennsylvania Gazette and covered the American Revolution. Both parties got Kit thinking about the possibility of going back in time to either witness or cover famous historical events, something she would gladly enjoy, though given the perils of traveling in a new world and in a different time-period, she quickly realized that she would need to be better prepared to deal with them. Of course, Kit admitted to all six of them about how she enjoys their tales and wishes to work or journey alongside them, much to their delight as they are eager to have Kit as a friend and fellow explorer once she builds up enough experience. On a more traditional note, Kit also became fast friends with Harriet Welsch and Dora the Explorer for largely having similar personality traits and for their outgoing attitude, in addition to being eager to try helping anyone if they can, even if it means endangering themselves. |
| 479 | * As a DaddysGirl, Kit prefers to take up her traits and preferences based on what her father would have been into. She's aware that her old man was a soldier who fought during the [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI Great War]] and had seen and done things no one has to go through, but that didn't stop Kit from loving her dad anyway. Much like her, there were girls in the Pantheon who were closer to their dads regarding family and it also helped that Kit was friends with many of them like Merida and Paula who were very close with their fathers and part of their motivations were to help and provide for their family, and especially for their old man. As a result, Kit enjoys her time visiting the House of Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives and she knows that most of the residents there are aware of what kind of girl she is based on her relationship with her father and acknowledge for interests and traits in high regard, not to mention she has a pretty good reputation in the Hall of Pantheon/{{Fathers}}. |
| 480 | * Having seen the events and effects caused by TheGreatDepression first-hand, Kit expresses sympathy towards those who have lost their homes and jobs due to circumstances out of their control and she is all too familiar with the mental pain and frustration one goes through in losing whatever they hold dear. Thankfully, her ambition to become a reporter wasn’t entirely stopped by her household suddenly becoming poor and desperate to earn whatever they could to still have a roof. While the Pantheon seems rather well-established and the Houses of Pantheon/{{Commerce}} and Pantheon/JobsAndProfession appearing to be in stable condition, Kit did speculate once about the possibility of a similar event going down in the divine realms and how financially disastrous it could be for the residents in a place like the Pantheon. On a personal note, Kit was able to befriend Ann Darrow, an actress from New York City who was also desperate to find a role after the Great Depression deprieved her career choices and the younger girl does hope that the older actress finds a way to get back to stardom, especially after what she’s been through. Things were more complicated with Carl Denham, a director who took Ann along to a mysterious island where he wanted to record an “authentic” film, only to bring back a giant ape named [[Pantheon/PlotArchetypes Kong]], which only led to further disaster and although Carl has been meaning to become a better person, Kit is unsure of whether she could approach him, admitting that Denham does upset and disappoint the girl, though she does wish he could prove himself. With other figures from the Depression era, such as Alfred Kralik and Klara Novak, Kit found their story an exciting one to look into and she was able to get along with their company mainly due to the three of them being hard-working individuals with their passions and zeal for life. She would also be aware of how desperate and ruthless criminals could be in times of strife thanks to personal experience and it is because of this that she tends to keep her distance from Tommy Angelo, given his reputation as a rat for a notorious mafia family, whose ruthlessness and desperation were exacerbated by the effects of the Great Depression. While Tommy respects Kit’s determination and desire to do good, he would rather keep Kit out of his presence as he feels that he still has enemies from mafia families to deal with, feeling that becoming closely acquainted with a little girl would get her into trouble with his enemies and Tommy simply couldn’t risk that. |
| 481 | * Because of her father being forced to find another job, her brother being busy with college, and her mother having to take care of the household, Kit became the main breadwinner of her family, noting down anything she saw in her travels and turning it into a news story to report it to the Cincinnati Register, even if the overall payment wasn't too much. Even if she wasn't the only child in the Pantheon to serve as a family’s main income provider, Kit doesn't take such a reputation as a compliment as she prefers to see her reporting job as more of a hobby and being forced to do paid work at a young age isn't ideal for anybody around Kit’s age. This is why she was surprised to hear of Parvana Alizai as while she was similarly pushed into being the family breadwinner, her circumstances were much more dire and perilous than Kit would have expected as unlike the American girl, Parvana was forced to deal with misogyny and hence had to dress as a boy to get around on that. Ochaco Uraraka was a bit more different in that despite her family’s less-than-stellar income, she decided to enroll in a school that would train and raise her to be a superheroine and her main goal was to provide money for her family, even if she would prove herself to be a very selfless and compassionate hero in her own right. Kit has nothing but admiration for Parvana and Uraraka and while she thinks the former would provide great writing material, she'd rather be friends with Parvana due to their slightly shared circumstances as well as proving herself resourceful in desperate times. While the concept of superheroes is a fairly new concept from her perspective, Kit liked Uraraka’s quirk abilities and is eager to learn more about superheroes as they appealed to her interests. |
| 482 | * With her passion for reporting and investigating, Kit visits the Hall of Pantheon/InvestigativeWork frequently and while popular enough for someone her age, she does feel that there are some better reporters and journalists whom she could take an apprenticeship under in the hopes of improving her skills and confidence before moving on to more “daring” reports. With that in mind, Lois Lane was one of the first that Kit was willing to meet up with, given her reputation as a Pulitzer Prize winner and being known for partaking in incredibly risky and life-threatening events to get the best scoop possible. Both got along well and Lois even got Kit to meet her husband and fellow journalist, Clark Kent, who was very much appreciative of Kit’s writing talent and is eager to encourage the girl to try her best, though he and Lois do tell her to be careful about what she goes through. A similar friendship was also formed with Peter Parker despite leaning more toward photojournalism, helped by the fact that the older man struggles with paying for his income. Still, Kit was a little amazed by how there was the opportunity to take colored and clearer photos and thanked Peter for inspiring her to be more willing to take photos and record videos partly to make memories with her family and friends as much as make convincing evidence for her work. She does find Peter’s senior, J. Jonah Jameson, to be a pain to deal with given his very gruff and abrasive attitude, though Jameson does admit that Kit has a talent for a girl her age and expects her to be better, even if she can be annoying to him. Finally, she is aware of a darker side to journalism and quickly came to dislike Aya Shameimaru upon looking into one of her stories and quickly finding it “nonsense” due to it exaggerating several events and people of interest, and she would very much keep her distance from Diana Christensen after learning just how unfettered she is in getting her stories and the sheer remorselessness she has in endangering and demoralizing people to get what she wants. |
| 483 | * Given her interest in writing, Kit is very eager to visit the House of Pantheon/{{Narrative}}, feeling that she could either try to get teaching classes to improve her literary skills or see newer typewriter models to hopefully save up money. She was a bit surprised to learn that typewriters would become obsolete decades later, with computers, particularly keyboards and digital documents becoming the best available tools to write and note down one's writing for most people. As she was a girl from the 1930s, Kit admitted that it would take a while to get used to new technology decades ahead of her time, even if she liked the capabilities of what computers and digital devices are capable of. On a personal note, Kit became friends with Shizuku Tsukishima as both of them were aspiring writers, even if they were working on a different medium and audience, given that Shizuku wanted to write a fictional work, but where Kit wrote reports to provide for her family as well as out of personal interest, Shizuku was purely focused on the latter and allowed her obsession with books to take over her mind and cause her well-being and relationship with others to deteriorate, though thankfully Shizuku has since grown out of that and strives to be more careful about herself. The two girls would like to learn a thing or two about each other's writing skills and how they’re inspired, hoping that they could learn from that, and it helps that Kit and Shizuku enjoy each others’ works. |
| 484 | * As her family fell into poverty because of the effects of The Great Depression and interacting with the poor and helpless first-hand (then-derisively known as “hobos”), Kit has a measure of sympathy for them and once tried to help out a young pair of “hobos” named Will and Countee even if the public majority deemed them as a menace for the homeless constantly attacking others and stealing their money and possessions. With Kit having proven Will innocent of a theft crime framed at him and writing a very successful story that sympathized with “hobos”, she managed to earn the respect of her senior staff and impress her family and friends. In the Pantheon, Kit was surprised to see that even in a “godly realm”, poverty, homelessness, and hobos were still a common sight in several places, though many of the “poverty-stricken” deities in the Hall of Pantheon/PovertyAndRiches came to like and respect Kit for taking a sympathizing stance for them, with Oliver Twist and Charlie Bucket being very eager to meet and become friends with a fellow girl who could understand their plight and worked hard to make a better living for themselves. The three kids often hang out together and while they would love to have an adventure, Kit is aware that Oliver and Charlie do have their matters to deal with, When hearing about the Little Match Girl, Kit was sad to hear her tale, but at the same time, her being in the Pantheon was a second chance and Kit was determined to at least meet and befriend the Match Girl one day and assure that she will always have company and loved ones to lean onto. On the other hand, the Park and Kim families were much harder for Kit to understand; while one was rich and the other poor, it would be natural for Kit to feel sympathetic for the latter until she learned about how ruthless and cutthroat they were in trying to sabatogue the former out of spite and desperation, even when the Kims were skilled enough to earn themselves legitimate jobs. While the Parks’ elitist reputation, especially perpetrated by their patriarch, Park Dong-ik, meant that Kit would have a hard time getting along with them, she also noted that they’re just as unhappy as people, but are too stubborn to properly open up with others. Overall, Kit is a bit intimidated by the circumstances between the two families and while she doesn’t like the Park parents and feels bad for the youngsters, she can’t help but speculate if the Kim Family’s actions would further perpetrate the reputation of the poor and “hobos” as being aggressive and unruly. |
| 485 | * Much like other girls her age, Kit likes fictional stories and fables, always happy to have them read to her by someone, usually her father. Unlike most girls, especially those from her time and place, Kit isn’t into traditional fairytales, seeing them as more appealing to someone like her best friend, Ruthie, and while many of them do exist in the Pantheon, Kit isn’t interested in meeting them either, either if she admits to respecting them for their heroic actions and providing some sort of Aesop. Instead, Kit has a fascination for more daring and adventurous folklore characters and tales and cites them as a big influence for her interest in reporting and going on adventures. One of her favorites is the tale of Robin Hood, given his shtick of stealing from the filthy rich and giving to the needy poor as his way of helping others and the fact that he, too, was in the Pantheon, excited Kit as she felt that being in the same world as one of her favorite characters was “super cool” and wishes to one day meet the fabled figure. Additionally, there were other Robin Hood-esque figures like Sly Cooper and his gang, which also intrigued Kit, though she is a bit annoyed that they don’t have the best reputation due to the Cooper Gang being considered fugitives for much of their career. Thanks to her interests, Kit wonders if she’ll practice archery one day, and though she likes Robin Hood, Sly, and other figures based on and inspired by the former, she admits that it’s unlikely she’ll be visiting the Hall of Pantheon/{{Thieves}} anytime soon for several reasons including worrying her loved ones and getting in trouble with authorities for going to a crime-filled place. |

| 504 | * Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/SplitPersonalities The Spirit of the Millennium Ring/Dark Bakura, Dark/Yami Marik]], [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Zorc Necrophades]]''', [[Pantheon/GamingConsequences the D'arby brothers]] (more so Telence; Daniel has a bit of [[VillainRespect respect]] for him), [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} Brand X]], [[Pantheon/CraftingMaterials Yoshihiro Kira]] (and [[Pantheon/{{Explosives}} Yoshikage]] for good measure), [[Pantheon/CheatsAndGlitches Nobuyuki Sugou]] |
| 505 | * Annoyed by: [[Pantheon/BusinessesAndCorporations Bubs]] |
| 506 | * Suguroku Muto (or Solomon Moto [[DubNameChange if you're watching the English dub]]) is the grandfather of famed duelist Yugi Muto and owner of the Kame Game shop. In his youth he was an archeologist who visited the Valley of the Kings in hopes of finding the tomb of the Nameless Pharaoh [[spoiler:aka Pharaoh Atem]], being the one to find the Millennium Puzzle, though he was never able to solve it. Interestingly, in a past life he was that pharaoh's Grand Vizier, Shimon Muran, and wielded Exodia. Suguroku is a skilled player of games and a gambler who rarely lost, though one of the few times he did it led to him wearing overalls and retiring. Now he's content running his game shop, and serving as a mentor for his grandson Yugi. Occasionally he has gone out to play Duel Monsters like dueling with Jonouchi in [=KaibaCorps=] Grand Prix. He's a close friend of Rebecca Hopkin's grandfather Arthur, and she initially tried to challenge him for a duel to get back his Blue Eyes card. However the two eventually patched things out and befriended him and Yugi. |
| 507 | * Yugi's grandfather was minded his own business, taking care of his shop on a quiet day where there weren't many customers. Everything seemed normal until he opened his mailbox and discovered an invitation to something called the Trope Pantheon. [[ItMakesSenseInContext After the VHS tape Pegasus sent led to his soul getting stolen]] he was suspicious and asked Yugi if he knew if a trick was afoot, only to be informed that it was the same thing he and many of both his allies and enemies had joined. As a character defined by their familial relationship to another character, he was under consideration for the trope of SatelliteFamilyMember. Suguroku may be in his seventies but he's not [[TechnologicallyBlindElders technologically blind]] and quickly adapted to using TV Tropes. His temple is Kame House, technically part of the House of Family and Relatives but functionally part of the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} as that's where his revenue comes from. For deities wanting to play Duel Monsters he's usually the one to check if they're looking for a more humble and friendly game shop. At his age he isn't ready to go on big adventures, though he is penpals with the retired adventurer Old Buran. You can find him [[Pantheon/FictionalSettings in the Monster Sanctuary]] training new adventurers, which is what piqued Suguroku's interest. |
| 508 | * He had met Judai/Jaden and friends "the long way round" at his card shop [[Anime/YuGiOhGX where even in his eighties he still was as chipper maintaining his shop]]. He helped guide them through the city in return, but unfortunately he got kidnapped by Thunder and Frost. Jaden and his friends managed to find and rescue him, and he gave them some hamburgers for their trouble. Overall, Sugoroku is generally friendly and doesn't hold a grudge, though he's still somewhat sore around Seto Kaiba and Pegasus; the former beat him and destroyed his Blue Eyes card, leading to him going to the hospital, and the latter stole his soul as part of his scheme. He's on speaking terms with them because they ultimately turned a new leaf, but they're otherwise neutral. Ultimately he only really opposes the unrepentant villains who threatened his grandson (and the world, given the scope of their plans). Yugi's grandfather is on really good terms with Exodia, interestingly enough. As mentioned, his previous life in Ancient Egypt had Exodia as his ''ka'', and he used to have Exodia in his playset. |
| 509 | * He's been trying to catch up with [[Pantheon/YuGiOh the protagonists of Yu-Gi-Oh series]] [[Anime/YuGiOh5Ds 5Ds]] and beyond, studying their adventures so he can better understand the later Duel Monsters meta. Yes their series are either far enough in the future he's probably passed of old age, and/or a different timeline altogether, but since he owns a Duel Monsters game shop he wants to be informed. He got some help with the updates and suggestions on how to boost sales from Aldo and Arnold. They were [[RaisedByGrandparents raised by their grandparents]] and are generally kind-hearted individuals, so they were happy to help. The two like swapping stories with the old man whenever they visit the shop for gaming accessories. Sometimes he can be seen visiting [[Pantheon/ChefsAndEstablishments the Cabbage Merchant]] to pick up cabbages, musing that [[Creator/JamesSie he sounds like his friend Uncle Chan]]. |
| 510 | * While he's retired from the archeology business, he still knows his stuff about Egypt and has stories to share with other archeologists. Him and Indiana Jones have become good friends discussing their past adventures, though Suguroku readily admits Indy has seen a lot more than he was able to. Him and Simon Petrikov are also friends, the latter having been an antiquarian who had studied some magical artifacts... sadly he spent the better part of a millennium driven crazy by one of them. With all the things he's seen of the Millennium Items and Shadow Games, he wasn't exactly surprised to learn the Egyptian gods were all too real in the Trope Pantheon. He's become quite interested in learning more about them, alongside the many pharaohs present asides from the Nameless Pharaoh. He's especially interested in Ahkmenrah, a ChummyMummy who was brought to the land of the living thanks to [[Pantheon/ArtifactsLibrary a magical Egyptian artifact]]... he reminds the old man of Yami Yugi. |
| 511 | * Suguroku's shop being called "Kame Game", basically translating to "Turtle Game", reminds a good amount of people of Muten Roshi. There's more than a few similarities between them; both are old, wise mentors of the protagonist, though Roshi has more of a role as the mentor, and they're both [[DirtyOldMan perverts]]. This isn't as obvious with Yugi's grandpa as his lechery [[CharacterizationMarchesOn was more an early characterization]], but his interest in [[AnimeChineseGirl Vivian Wong]] and Otogi's cheerleaders wasn't exactly innocent. [[EveryoneHasStandards He still thinks Roshi is pervy]], though to the older man's credit he's become better at controlling his lust. While they sometimes chat about beautiful women, most of the time they talk about their life experiences and how to give advice to those they care about. Roshi has decided to learn from him how to play Duel Monsters as a hobby. |
| 512 | * He has somewhat of a rivalry with Comic Book Guy, come their mutual roles in the House of Pantheon/{{Commerce}}. He owns a major comic book shop of the Trope Pantheon, and Suguroku owns a major game shop. Comic Book Guy keeps trying to push advertisement for his shop over the old man, trying to get more customers. He was a bit annoyed to see a regular like [[Pantheon/JokesAndPranks Bart Simpson]] start to spend more pocket change at the Kame Game shop, causing the old man to quip "[[Recap/TheSimpsonsS12E11WorstEpisodeEver didn't you ban him?]]" Jeff simply responded with "we worked that out". While Yugi's grandpa is a bit exasperated by how much of a jerk Comic Book Guy can be, their rivalry is a harmless one and they'll sometimes show up at each other's shop to buy stuff from one another. Occasionally they meet up and chat, and/or snark, at the Kwik-e-Mart. Him and Apu seem to get along as small businessmen. |
| 513 | * Brand X attempted to exploit the old man in hopes of pushing their awful, awful food products. Why him? Simply put, they wanted to look more appealing and "human". They propositioned him with an idea of becoming a promoter for Brand X food, by tying them with the games he sold. Suspecting them from the start, he asked the representative "could you taste test your food first?" That representative was nervous [[LethalChef since he knew what their food taste like]], so instead he decided to gamble and say "OK, let's decide it over poker. You win, I'll taste test it and we'll leave you alone forever. I win, you sell your game shop to us and we turn it into a market". Unfortunately for that representative Suguroku was a very lucky gambler and took some pride in seeing [[HoistByHisOwnPetard the representative prove how bad that proposal would've been for him]]. He got a high five from another shopkeeper, Uncle Chan, for pulling that off as it seems to have prevented them going after his business next. He's been interested in learning about Egyptian magic recently, and seeing another small business do well in the Trope Pantheon has made him smile. |
| 514 | * As he's a friendly old man with a humble job, it's hard to really piss him off. [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries Make jokes about him lusting over Black Luster Soldier]] and he'll just go "ah, I see you're a fan of that abridged series". Some people do piss him off, though. Though a bit of a pervert, he's far from the creep that Nobuyuki Sugou is. His abuse of the virtual world's gaming system and general sleaze-baggery made him permanently blacklisted from Kame Game. No, the fact he has no interest in Duel Monsters or the other games at his shop doesn't change that. He's definitely not a fan of Yoshihiro Kira either. For one, he's worried his Stand ability might cause some chaos if he gets access to Duel Monster cards, despite Yoshihiro saying "that's not how my Stand works [[HypocriticalHumor you old fool!]]" More seriously, Yoshihiro is aiding and enabling his SerialKiller of a son and making Morioh a less safe place. The ghostly Stand user tried to defend his actions by saying he's making up for his wife's abuse[[note]]according to Araki's comments; it's not mentioned in the manga to avoid making Kira too sympathetic[[/note]], only for Sugoroku [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse to say that's a BS excuse]]. |
| 515 | * While an expert gambler, Sugoroku Muto knows that eventually, your luck will run out. This is but one of many reasons why he has absolutely no interest in playing any game with the D'arby brothers, who he's naturally horrified [[LostHimInACardGame by them gambling with human lives]]. Daniel at least finds his refusal to duel unfortunate, [[VillainRespect since he respect for his skill]], but Telence is just an ass so he doesn't care. Yugi is glad they aren't trying to antagonize his grandpa outright since the way their Stands work is highly reminiscent of a Shadow Game. However Sugoroku is fine gambling for smaller wagers like a chocolate milkshake. Him and Tsunade decided to gamble over who pays for a month's worth of bento boxes with a game of Duel Monsters... Sugoroku won, though she insists that this was unfair because it was her first time playing Duel Monsters. [[FriendlyRivalry They'll still make friendly wagers, just with more fair games]]. Recently he has been doing some bets with Uncle Chan over who can sell the most from their stores on a weekend. |
| 516 | * Has a bit of a complicated opinion on Grunkle Stan. Sugoroku sees him as a troublemaker, a swindler a washout... but also a good friend, who reminds him of some of the stuff he got up to back in the day. Stan wishes that he did more higher stake gambling with him and [[HypocriticalHumor thinks he's a bit of a washout]], but this comes off more as friendly ribbing. While Yugi's grandfather is annoyed by Bubs and his swindling ways, he sees in Stan Pines a more devious version of himself but really fun company, [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold who'll prove his worth when he needs to]]. The two like to swap stories, though the elder Muto admits he's got a lot stranger to say. One story both of them got caught off guard was [[Pantheon/MediaPresentation Big Bird's]], who [[Film/DontEatThePictures dressed down]] ''[[Pantheon/MaleAppearances Osiris]]'' when he refused to let a boy into the afterlife. |
