| 22 | * Special Relationship: [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka Kaname]] |
| 23 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Shiro Kanzaki]] (their former HighPriest) |
| 24 | * So far there are two known Incubators, one known as [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyu]][[Manga/PuellaMagiOrikoMagica bey]] ([[InconsistentSpelling who goes by many names]]) and one known as [[Manga/PuellaMagiKazumiMagica Jubey]]. There are likely more of them - [[HiveMind though whether they differ significantly from the ones already known is up for debate]], [[spoiler:and Jubey is a special case: an incomplete Artificial Incubator created by Kazumi's friends to replace Kyubey]]. |
| 25 | * Incubators lack an understanding of emotion, believing it a rare mental illness, and as such have made an enemy of the entire [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} House of Emotion]]. Kyubey is uninterested in the rivalry, but they keep punching it in the face anyway. |
| 26 | * Residents of [[Franchise/TouhouProject Gensoukyou]] may bring a chill to Kyubey, [[FrozenFace if it could show fear]]. Especially [[Pantheon/MadnessAndInsanity Flandre Scarlet]], who seems to think of Kyubey as a doll to play with. Jubey doesn't understand this fear of Kyubey's. |
| 27 | * Can't be in the same room as Sayaka Miki/Oktavia von Seckendorff because of her habit of impaling them with her swords. |
| 28 | * Can't be classified as Gods/Goddesses due to the fact that they are not of [[StarfishAlien earth]]. |
| 29 | * Kyubey can't understand why, after everything his kind did for them, those humans [[HateSink hate him so much]] (then again, Kyubey has trouble understanding the very concept of hatred). |
| 30 | * Kyubey's [[LackOfEmpathy emotionlessness]] caught the eye of [[Pantheon/HybridBeings Discord]], who attempted to pull one of his signature [[MoreThanMindControl discordings]] on him. Discord first tried to provoke Kyubey, which failed, leaving Kyubey as untroubled as ever. Then he attempted to manually reverse his emotions, which again failed because Kyubey has none. Rather than give up, Discord developed a new spell that forced Kyubey to experience ''[[HumanityIsInsane every emotion]] [[InfectiousInsanity that exists at once]]'' and left him [[FreakOut like that]] until he was rescued by Madoka. Needless to say, this experience has not improved Kyubey's view of human emotion. It DID, however, earn Discord an earnest round of applause from Johan: THAT is how you MindRape someone. |
| 31 | ** This last spell left something of a side effect, he is forever connected to Discord first (and maybe only) friend, [[Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie Fluttershy]]. In response of discovering this, Fluttershy has made it a mission to subject Kyubey to [[DeathGlare THE]] [[StaringDownCthulhu Stare]]... which couldn't work; the Stare can only work with someone that has some emotion. And Kyubey has none. |
| 32 | * Kyubey once expressed interest in [[VideoGame/AsurasWrath Mithra's power]] to manipulate Mantra, but only did so when Asura was outside of the Pantheon. Like everyone else, even he admitted that making Asura angry is a mistake no matter who you are. |
| 33 | * Has since found out that Tzeentch was the one who was behind the system for contracting Magical Girls and their eventual transformation into witches. Thankfully, [[Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka Kaname]] reworked the system and excised the corruption. |
| 34 | ** Kyubey would like it known that they had no idea that the previous system was powered by such a force as [[TheCorruption The Warp]]. Using ''that'' to keep entropy at bay would have ended up [[FateWorseThanDeath causing a worse end]] [[ApocalypseHow to the universe]] than simple heat death, and they'' are'' genuinely concerned with the fate of the cosmos. |
| 35 | ** [[spoiler:All this considered, everyone was genuinely stunned when Kyubey tried to bring the Witch system back during the events of the "Great Upheaval". When questioned, he revealed a shocking truth: the entire above statement turned out to be patently untrue! ''The Witch System never ran on the Warp!'' The entire time, that had been a lie spread by Madoka Kaname, in order to dissuade Kyubey from trying to bring the System back. Unfortunately, the little weasel had learned the truth. Its former ally, Kroak became furious with it, and if not for Homura pulling her own retribution, he would have nuked the little weasel with a "Deliverance of Itza"]]. |
| 36 | * Their ResurrectiveImmortality has made them a target for many gods who've had off days and need to blow off steam. [[Pantheon/PowerMentalities Issei]] [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Hyodo]] enjoys using a [[HeartIsAnAwesomePower decidedly lethal variant]] of "Dress Break" to reduce them to what vaguely resembles [[LudicrousGibs pulled pork]]. After, of course, his best Kenshiro [[YouAreAlreadyDead impersonation]]. [[Pantheon/PowerMentalities Broly]] frequently enjoys blasting the little weasels to hell, since he'll never run out. |
| 37 | * [[Pantheon/DivineBehavior Beerus]] absolutely ''detests'' the little creatures; the reason least of which is that they insist on preserving a decaying universe by creating despair and destroying hope, but more importantly that they made his beloved friend Madoka cry. Perhaps worst of all is that no matter how many he vaporizes, there's ALWAYS more of them. |
| 38 | * Has lately found good company in Satan, who enjoys his deceptive nature and common view of humans as cattle: the two are scheming a two-pronged plan that benefits them both, where Satan gains dominion over the Earth and rules it with an iron fist, while Kyubey convinces the oppressed masses to make contracts and fight back against Satan ([[FailureIsTheOnlyOption efforts that would be doomed to failure]]) and thus gain tons of energy for the universe. He has since [[spoiler:joined up with The Usurper faction]]. |
| 39 | ** It's for similar reasons that he has good company with Mard Geer, who is pleased to meet another who thinks of humanity as he does and likes the method by which [[EldritchAbomination Witches]] are made. Kyubey, in turn, is impressed with the Mard's utter dedication to his goals and allows nothing to get in the way. |
| 40 | * They have shown a great fear (or as much fear as they can show) of Mr. Slave, due to an incident where he shoved both of them up his ass. They have since refused to go anywhere near him. |
| 41 | * Gust is enemies with Kyubey because she hates his [[DealWithTheDevil methods of business]]. |
| 42 | ** [[Creator/CassandraLeeMorris Gust also hates how she sounds so similar to Kyubey]]. |
| 43 | * Their lack of emotion means [[Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata Nekron]] can't see them, something they plan to use against him one day. |
| 44 | * Kyubey used to be great allies with the Anti-Spiral, who also utilizes {{despair|EventHorizon}} for the greater good until Kyubey decided to find Madoka following her deification. The Anti-Spiral didn't like the idea of bringing back a HopeBringer from another plane of existence, and [[BlueAndOrangeMorality declared Kyubey insane]] [[MoralMyopia for crossing the line]]. |
| 45 | * If they were capable of hatred, the one group they would despise more than anything else would undoubtedly be the SCP Foundation. Obviously, the Foundation seeks to thwart their efforts to make contracts, as the creation of magical girls and witches is directly antithetical to the Foundation's goals of maintaining normalcy, but that on its own would be little more than an inconvenience. The reason for their hatred is because [[spoiler: [[http://fondationscp.wikidot.com/proposition-du-dr-johannes the Foundation created entropy.]]]] |

| 63 | * Complicated Relations: [[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia Don Bluth]] |
| 64 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/ComedyGenres Eric Cartman]] |
| 65 | * MGM. One of the oldest, most important and influential film studios in existence, although it's lost a big chunk of its immediate importance as time went on. Has a really memorable logo, or vanity plate, consisting of a lion roaring. Said lion, known simply as Leo, ascended on the strength of his "church", the Closing Logos Wiki, praying hard enough for it. And because he's one of the few vanity plates who's actually viable as a character. |
| 66 | * Though it's agreed that he's supposed to be the very personification of Hollywood studio MGM, some deities and theologists go a bit further and believe him to be Irving Thalberg reborn and given immortal status after his untimely death at the age of 37. Whatever the truth, Dream of the Endless respects him as a fellow storyteller deity, and Cosmos because of so many of his films created essential heroes and have brought people joy. |
| 67 | * His temple is a generic one, except for the entrance, which was sculpted to resemble the film ribbon that surrounds him in the logo. The Ars Gratia Artis motto is carved on the upper part of the ribbon, while the drama mask is painted on the floor right at the entrance. It creeps out some deities to have to walk over the mask to enter Leo's temple. |
| 68 | * The House of Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna had to investigate whether the claims going around of Leo being a victim of animal abuse were true. Leo spoke for himself; no, he was never strapped to a table to do his thing in the logo. He was simply incited by his trainer and photographed as is. |
| 69 | * Nostalgic for the Golden Age of Hollywood and the Hays Code, the latter to some deities' alarm. Though it's understandable to some degree because he was far more imposing in those times. His reminiscing often takes the shape of a RamblingOldManMonologue, which other deities, including his subordinates, roll their eyes at. Despite everything, he's learned a long time ago to accept that times and people just change. |
| 70 | * Has quite an amount of influence over the House of Theater and tends to be involved with any arts program that's going on in there, especially if it's film-related. He gets a significant say in the organization of film cycles, helping choose themes and selecting films to be shown. Of course a little bit of bias towards his films is inevitable, but then that's why these things are decided in a committee. |
| 71 | * Has authority over any deity created under him, and to a lesser extent over deities whose tales were spread by him. Most of those deities perceive him as a BenevolentBoss who can take a joke (like how Tom the cat takes his place in the logo sometimes), even if he's a bit out of touch with modern times. Evil deities like HAL 9000 and the Wicked Witch of the West don't like having to obey him, but they don't have much say in the matter. But Leo knows better than to make any of his creations do anything that [[OutOfCharacter goes against their nature]]. |
| 72 | * He had become estranged from Don Bluth back in the mortal world, on account of creating sequels of questionable quality to some of his tales made under his banner. Now that both are present in the Pantheon, Leo has been trying to apologize and rekindle ties. Bluth refuses, having developed a distaste for the big studios. Mrs. Brisby remains loyal to both of them. |
| 73 | * Doesn't much care for Walt Disney since they've always had a bit of a feud over ''The Wizard of Oz''. It's gotten especially bad since his successors have made a sequel, a prequel and are in general trying hard to make people associate Oz with the Disney name. Leo would have less of a problem with this if these efforts weren't blatantly using MGM's vision of the work. He regularly reminds Walt that even if he ends up taking possession of Oz in the end, it's still MGM's beloved classic they are building on. His relations with Mickey Mouse (who's pulled Vanity Plate duty as well, sometimes) are coolly civil at best, for related reasons. |
| 74 | ** Leo has also has a rivalry with Disney creations Simba and Mufasa, but it's more a good-natured rivalry; they like to compete to see who has the most impressive roar. Given how unnaturally loud they are, other deities in the vicinity clear away to avoid the risk of becoming deaf. Ironically it's been pointed out by the more animal-savvy deities that their roars all sound like an enhanced tiger's, with a dash of plane engines. |
| 75 | * Very good friends with Aslan, as Leo has a similar benevolent role towards his subordinates as Aslan to Narnia, besides having similar moral views. Aslan is sort of related to Disney, but that's not a problem since he wasn't ''created'' by them. |
| 76 | * Much of MGM's pre-1986 library is owned by Warner Bros., in the mortal world. In the Pantheon, Leo has full guardianship of MGM's library; this fact has served to assuage some of the bitterness he has over having to rely on others to take care of his creations in the mortal realm, so now he's on pretty good terms with Bugs Bunny, the closest thing to a top WB representative in the Pantheon, and therefore the guardian of MGM's library until Leo ascended; he didn't have a problem with passing on those duties to the lion. After patching things up, Leo has discovered that MGM and WB's close ties now manifest in the ability to summon the [[StoneWall Warner shield to defend himself]]. Many deities find this fascinating and wonder if other logos can be summoned and what their effects would be. |
| 77 | * Is a target of mockery for Eric Cartman because MGM was founded by Jewish people, so Leo serves as a proxy for Cartman to take out all his antisemitism and create conspiracy theories about how the Jews are taking over the Pantheon. Leo has nothing but contempt for the badly raised, foul-mouthed boy and is offended at his prejudice, not just for himself but because many other studios in his time were founded by Jewish people. The lion has decided that an insignificant kid isn't worth mauling and that it's better to pay no attention to Cartman other than yawn boredly at his rants. |
| 78 | * He and Onaga are natural antitheses to each other, both being logo gods but of polar opposite alignments. Leo absolutely despises the gratuitous violence and evil that someone like Onaga promotes. |

| 93 | * Sanshiro heroically gave his life in defense of his beloved Sega, but lives on in Garhalla - and our hearts. |
| 94 | ** However, it has been revealed that [[spoiler:he did not actually die, but spent 14 YEARS keeping Sony's missile from hitting Sega HQ]]. |
| 95 | * If they take Sega Saturn lightly, he will descend from the Garhalla and kick their ass. |
| 96 | * Perhaps Dreamcast would've fared better had they received the guidance of Segata Sanshiro. So let's put "Not having Segata Sanshiro" as one of the reasons why Sega quit making hardware. |
| 97 | * Does not like zombies. For this reason, he's discouraged from lingering in the House of Pantheon/UndeadAndPhasmata. |
| 98 | * Sega Saturn... ''shiro!'' |
| 99 | * With his judo throw, he can make any God [[StuffBlowingUp explode]]. ''Twice''. This once caught the attention of Pinkie Pie, who sought to understand the secrets behind it for [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} some reason]] or [[MemeticMutation another]]. No one's entirely certain if she succeeded, but no one's brave enough to test it out. |
| 100 | * The entire pantheon is waiting for him to [[UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny challenge Chuck Norris to play Sega Saturn]]. Turned out [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle he did try it once]], but Chuck was so annoyed by his commercials that he broke the system, causing them to duke it out. [[spoiler:This happened ''before'' the two ascended as they ''destroyed their plane of existence'' in the following battle and were teleported to the Trope Pantheons after that]]. |
| 101 | ** [[spoiler:Upon reviewing the aftermath of their epic clash and further analyzing Segata's abilities and prowess, the Main House reevaluated his position in the Pantheon which led to his promotion to Greater God]]. |
| 102 | * Has been training Bang Shishigami in the arts of Sega Saturn, after an unfortunate incident that caused Segata to be mistaken for Takeshi Hongo of the Toku Base. Segata believes that the secret of awakening Houyoku Rettenjou lies in playing Sega Saturn until the fingers break. |
| 103 | ** That said, the comparison to Takeshi did cause Segata to seek out the man they call Kamen Rider. They've come to share a close bond, and nowadays, Segata considers the similarity flattering. |
| 104 | * Sheds ManlyTears for many Western UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn gamers that couldn't experience the true wonders of UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn… all thanks to someone he'll consider even worse than piracy (and [[Franchise/{{Neptunia}} Arfoire]], who he fought constantly in the stead of Neptune) and those who don't play UsefulNotes/SegaSaturn: Bernie Stolar. |
| 105 | ** To this end, he has joined forces with the very face of Sega: [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Sonic the Hedgehog]], so that their legacy may continue onward for generations to come. |
| 106 | ** Out of all the SEGA deities, he has a soft spot for ''[[VideoGame/NiGHTSIntoDreams NiGHTS]]'', due to him/her/it hailing from the Sega Saturn. |
| 107 | * Is confirmed that he, [[UnexpectedCharacter of all people]], [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone had to stop the merger of the three worlds]]. Many people finally rejoiced for the announcement. |
| 108 | * The Nostalgia Critic allied with him after he gushed over his commercials. |
| 109 | ** Even before the Nostalgia Critic, Maximilian Christiansen was one of his most devout followers among non-Japanese. Once it was known both were in the Pantheon, they became fast allies (with Segata, himself, being very appreciative of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bWuwGkiEGs the Sega Saturn Saturdays videos Max did with his friend Matt]] keeping love for the Saturn alive to this day). |
| 110 | * One heretic spread [[https://twitter.com/arch_carrier/status/737568767484399617 this picture]] all over the Pantheon. One judo throw and two explosions later, that heretic was no more. |
| 111 | * Former NEC mascot Johnny Turbo had a chance encounter with Segata Sanshiro, and foolishly challenged him to a duel. [[CurbStompBattle In mere seconds, Segata effortlessly disarmed and defeated Johnny]], and forced him to spend a day playing Sega Saturn games against his will in an attempt to get him to move on from his blind hatred of Sega. Unfortunately, [[GoneHorriblyWrong this experience traumatized Johnny and only drove him to hate Sega even more]]. Johnny attempted to take legal action against him, but the case was thrown out of court, not only because Johnny provoked the fight himself, but because Segata didn't physically harm Johnny, and [[BullyingADragon no court would be willing to incite the wrath of Segata by trying to convict him anyway]]. |

| 144 | * Brand X Industries is a notorious food company known for its rather unappealing Brand X products that at one point replaced many brand names for over half a year. If it were not for the rough recession at the time, most people would have skipped over Brand X. Brand X also turns out to be poisonous to people, so it's both rather unsavory and unhealthy to eat. The FDA would have gone ballistic over this, [[FastFoodNation though it is not the first nor last time Americans devoured foods that killed them]]. In truth, Brand X's rise to power is much more malicious than a simple fluke. In the supermarket world, [[MundaneFantastic brands dwell in a world separated from standard reality where these Ikes interact with each other]]. However, if an Ike is killed in the world or suddenly vanishes, [[TheCharacterDiedWithHim the brand the Ike represents is yanked from circulation]]. Brand X kidnapped the mascot Sunshine Goodness and pumped her "sweet essence" ([[UnusualEuphemism whatever that means]]) into their products, allowing them to keep consumers from buying their products. Then Brand X decided to assassinate several Ikes before mounting a ''[[FinalSolution full-frontal extermination war]]'' against every Ike out there. Despite how powerful Brand X became, the [[FunWithAcronyms United Supermarket Defense Association]] led by Dex Dogtective defeated Brand X, putting an end to their imperialistic grabs for the supermarket. That does not mean Brand X suddenly vanished as they can be still found in most major grocers. Due to their nature as an army, Brand X also has a presence in the Pantheon. |
| 145 | * It should be first said that Brand X has its mascots look a bit too... [[ANaziByAnyOtherName similar to a real genocidal army]] that was extinguished. The army even has this StrangeSalute where they cross their arms into an X repeatedly. One wonders who the hell made this during the marketing. [[NoSwastikas The irony would have doubled if Brand X was called Brand Z instead]]. That is not to say the army itself is at the forefront of Brand X as the mascot is its leader, Lady X. [[DramaticUnmask Lady X's true identity is Priscilla Pusly]], a failed mascot of a recalled prune brand who desperately wanted to have a place amongst the Ikes again. [[FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse Then she wanted world domination, so there goes that sympathy]]. Despite Lady X being presented as a MsFanservice, her true appearance is that of a hideous {{Gonk}} woman. This decision for an objectively ugly mascot also makes a person wonder who was in charge of marketing. |
| 146 | -->'''Random troper:''' Who the hell would like a mascot based off of actual Nazis- [[BreakingTheFourthWall PUT YOUR HAND DOWN OVER THERE!]] |
| 147 | * Melkor is the majority shareholder of Brand X Industries [[RealitySubtext after putting down 65 million]] for it. Not that he likes the food that Brand X creates but because it's so putrid, he had Brand X be sold to prisons and labor camps to feed their impoverished prisoners at a decent price. [[BoringButPractical Surprisingly, this business strategy worked and Melkor made some good profit at the end]]. As the majority shareholder, Melkor has more say in the company, with his authority being rivaled with the Brand X Industries CEO ([[TheGhost who you will never see]]) or Lady X herself. There are many other business decisions that Melkor had Brand X perform, some of which may have people raise an eyebrow. Melkor goes after the gullible crowd who go into echo chambers that turn them into extremists since he considers them an easy target. He knows that many times, [[BadSamaritan being presented as an ally to those you wish to harm is more effective than antagonism]], so he tries hooking dumb folk with Brand X so their health could be ruptured. [[ConsumerConspiracy He spreads conspiracy to this crowd on how brand foods contain microchips that will brainwash them, then telling them generic brands are the only safe foods to eat]]. He even had Brand X partner up with questionable groups that these insane crowds enjoy. Just like Melkor predicted, these people ate it up. Or better to say, they ate Brand X up. [[RefugeInAudacity Melkor is giddy to see the amount of undiagnosed cancer that he brought to millions.]] |

| 151 | * Reviewers of all kinds from I Hate Everything to [=JonTron=] were appalled by the presence of Brand X in the Pantheon because they found the source material where Brand X [[WorstWhateverEver came from the worst thing they had ever seen]] and also the effective horror film. It was enough for these reviewers to question if the TV Tropes Pantheon had standards anymore on who would be let in. [[CausticCritic It is their job as reviewers to critique something with their overblown opinions through a quippy sarcastic personality]]. So when they drew the line at freaking Brand X, a person they are more serious than [[BadassArmFold if they had their digital avatars cross their arms]]. The reviewers knew they could only express their unhappiness towards Brand X being here though the Nostalgia Critic of all people took it further. [[MoralGuardians He angrily demanded that the Pantheon have higher standards for deities, to not follow the popular or undesirable to instead prop up "art" in its place]]. A more diverse deity pool is welcomed by anyone though Nostalgia Critic wants to create a movement that will place a filibuster on ascension just because he hated ''Foodfight!'' that much. [[MisplacedRetribution Maybe his getting stabbed by [=JonTron=] for reviewing the movie may be fueling his anger.]] |
| 152 | * Richard Blaine and Indiana Jones [[{{Expy}} have resembled too much]] like Dex Dogtective who led the effort to stop their advance long ago (a decade by the time of this writing believe it or not). So to make sure these two men do not get in their way, [[TamperingWithFoodAndDrink Brand X has tried to slip into their mouths with poison one way or another with Mr. Clipboard doing the deed]]. However, no matter how many drinks they spike there are always some Nazis barging in to cause a mess beforehand. That made Brand X's leadership particularly pissed at Nazis for these constant interruptions, [[TomatoInTheMirror funnily not looking at their reflections]]. The Lunch Lady had enough and jumped on a Nazi who proceeded to scream as a tiny ugly creature was biting him. |
| 153 | * Judge Doom has gotten along well with Brand X for their fellow genocidal ways. Not that he wants to eat Brand X at all, but he finds relatability with the Brand X leaders anyhow for wanting to exterminate corporate-owned mascots from respectively different mediums. It got to the point the two people got together with Lady X driving her mechanical human Mr. Clipboard toward their meeting spot. [[UncannyValley Doom was a bit disturbed by the movements of Mr. Clipboard]], almost believing that Mr. Clipboard was a toon similar to himself since the robot walked as if he sharted his pants. [[InkSuitActor Also, Mr. Clipboard looks like Judge Doom on a receding hairline]]. Doom was particularly interested in the Exobytes that Brand X created since they intentionally look like mobile mosquitos... for some reason. The Dip could be carried by [[MechanicalInsects these Exobytes]], ejecting the Dip in numerous ways as a result. Judge Doom says that would surely kill as many mascots as possible as Brand X has shown their brutality in warfare. [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling Roger Rabbit felt a disturbing chill creep up his back.]] |
| 154 | * Fred Flintstone is an Ike due to being at the forefront of a famous cereal. Originally, Fred would have wanted to [[MustHaveNicotine be an Ike for cigarettes]] though Fred was wisely advised to get away from that. [[WarIsHell So when he saw Brand X mow down his other Ike brethren with missiles that blew their limbs apart, he was horrified]]. Fred Flintstone was unable in to participate in the battle since he was taken by Brand X soldiers and waterboarded for information on the U.S.D.A's defenses. When it was all said and over, Fred was still shaken over what had happened. [[WaterTorture Not because he was waterboarded with the blood killed Ikes]], but because it reminded the Flintstone of his disturbing past. [[ComicBook/TheFlintstones Fred Flintstone did participate in genocide after all]]. He thinks that it is likely karma that brought that harrowing experience upon himself. |
| 155 | -->'''Lieutenant X:''' Seeing this disgusting caveman choke on the blood of filth makes me feel gloriously ''[[InterplayOfSexAndViolence aroused]]'' if I do say so myself. |
| 156 | * Other supermarket Ikes like the Trix Rabbit and Pepsiman have raised alarm towards the newfound rising prominence of Brand X as they were also witnesses to the horrible attempted genocide by Brand X. They lost many friends that day... [[DisneyDeath who came back soon after]] but the experience was objectively traumatizing regardless. [[WonTheWarLostThePeace The fact remains that if Brand X were to return with newfound power, they might find themselves for an even greater invasion]]. That said, one would think that Brand X exclusively wants to destroy Ikes that are mascots for food. If that were the case, they would not have tried to kill our favorite muscular bald cleaning man who was ''afraid for his goddamn life'' then. This even made the Energizer Bunny stop drumming for a second to say, "[[NotSoStoic I am afraid of this hate group.]]" Not even brands made outside of the United States are safe from Brand X as those who ate Sakeru Gummy sensually found that Brand X had been stalking them. As long as you are an Ike in a supermarket, Brand X sees you as competition meant to be snuffed out. |
| 157 | ** Their view of restaurant Ikes are a bit mixed as Brand X currently has no ambitions to take over that industry. They already have it rough trying to kill off their supermarket competition, [[SlaveToPR so adding something else on top of that is surely a disastrous outcome]]. That said, if restaurant brands have a retail presence to them, then they are completely under the "[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill let us kill them with a million tanks]]" radar. They are still pondering if having a bistro within supermarkets counts as retail competition, though their former opinion stands. Ronald [=McDonald=eir radar for coffee from [=McDonald's=] being sold at retail and KFC has done enough brand tie-ins to tec] is under thhnically count as an Ike with a retail presence. Ronald would like to say that Brand X should go after [[ReplacementScrappy those terrifying sentient Happy Meal boxes]] who replaced him and Colonel Sanders is too ashamed of the tie-ins to admit he is within a retail product. |
| 158 | * Popeye once found his favorite spinach brand missing from the shelves, replaced with Brand X to his dismay. So Popeye was so pissed over this, [[RevengeBeforeReason he went to the world where Ikes dwelled and began to beat the crap out of the entire Brand X army there]]. Popeye did this all without eating the spinach himself. After punching through nearly everyone, it was then given to Popeye’s attention that the brand mascot of his spinach was there and informed him [[FailedASpotCheck that his spinach was just moved to the section right beside where they used to be]] and [[AllForNothing Popeye went into a rage for no reason]]. Popeye then sheepishly left the Ikes, bought his spinach ([[RidiculousFutureInflation look at those inflated prices]]), then left without wanting to acknowledge that little episode. Brand X still rue Popeye for defeating them so brutally, cementing to them the stranglehold that brand products have at stores compared to generic brands. [[HypocriticalHumor That said, they want to place a stranglehold in stores for their brand instead.]] |
| 159 | * Burns wanted cheap cafeteria food to give to his workers and at the same time, made it look like their health problems were not because of his horrific nuclear power plant management. [[AppealToWorseProblems So to stop authorities from investigating something so severe, it would be less severe to be investigated by food inspectors]]. [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Ironically, the food that the power plant served to people was contaminated with radiation, so being replaced by Brand X saved lives if anything]]. Not to say the workers are happy over this, though the vending machines still being present made up for that. Burns was given an entire promotional video on the benefits of eating Brand X though his copy was stolen [[CorporateConspiracy in an act of corporate espionage]]. Whoever wants to steal a Brand X promotional video must either hate them or wanted to save everybody from seeing it. |
| 160 | -->'''Mr. Burns:''' Brand X isn't that bad! Here, I will try. See? Brand X is a completely healthy and- |
| 161 | -->''[[GilliganCut Burns is seen having a seizure in the ER soon afterward.]]'' |
| 162 | * The Evil Queen has relied on Brand X for key ingredients in her poisonous concoctions. She experimented with pouring as many unhealthy substances as she could and [[TakeThat after going through the aisles of a typical American grocery store]], she found that Brand X seemed to have had great synergy with poisons. It is a foodstuff, and its toxic nature makes it unnoticeable to testers plus being plain enough to not taste odd. [[DamnedByFaintPraise For this, she thanked the American consumers for allowing such a product to exist so that she could attempt to poison Snow White once again]]. Yet the Evil Queen failed again by putting it on an evil apple. Snow White may be the fairest in the land, it is not synonymous with stupidity. |
| 163 | * Their mecha Mr. Clipboard has an [[IdenticalStranger uncanny resemblance to I.M. Meen]] for some reason. Albeit Mean has more saner movement than Mr. Clipboard has. I.M. Meen became fast friends with Mr. Clipboard for this despite the fact that Mean has no idea what Mr. Clipboard does or even is. As for Brand X itself, he doesn't really care too much, but the idea of less brand names being around for him to misspell or misread for his writing does sound convenient to him. |
| 164 | * Sanji was initially attracted to Brand X because there was a hot lady as a mascot though came to the ghastly realization that the food is absolute ''[[MasochistsMeal shit]]'' to eat. The cook does not have any notions against food in the supermarket, though he thought there were some standards placed. [[DistractedByTheSexy A strikingly gorgeous lady on the cover is what holds him back from thinking he made a complete waste of a purchase]]. His creed of honor would not have allowed him to waste Brand X no matter how plain it tasted, so Sanji went to work to make it edible. It took a grueling few hours, [[SupremeChef though what came out of his Brand X was one of Sanji's typically delicious meals that make anyone salivate for it]]. Not to say that Sanji thought there were no better ingredients outside of Brand X to use, though he still bought it the next time he went to the supermarket. [[HereWeGoAgain The packaging showed the leg of Lady X, so it was game over for him by that point.]] |
| 165 | * The Hedgies raided a van that curiously was filled with Brand X within it. Thinking it was just some regular food, the animals tried eating but found themselves completely debilitated the next day. They were all sure that the Brand X they ate was secretly a pesticide set up by pest control. [[NutritionalNightmare In truth, Brand X was so unhealthy their weaker animal stomachs were not able to handle it that well]]. They were able to stomach it fine later though still are apprehensive after the ordeal. |
| 166 | -->'''Verne:''' Brand X is horrible! Let's go back to eating our usual supply of food! |
| 167 | -->''[[AsideGlance Verne glances at their pile of food.]]'' |
| 168 | -->'''Verne:''' I've made a huge mistake. |
| 169 | * Brand X is what Chin ate as [[LeaveNoSurvivors he mowed down millions of communists]] in his crusade against the Chinese government. Why Chin ate it because Brand X Industries gave it to him for free for his "patriotic" actions. Despite fighting against socialism, Chin was willing to be paid for his labor. That is not to say that Chin likes eating Brand X though he would rather not starve while mowing down CCP soldiers. The reason Brand X was essentially sponsoring Chin for genocide is that as a corporation, they do not want communism to reign over a potential market. Despite brand products within communist societies having existed, Brand X does not believe that their corporate interests flourish in a communist world. It is easy to explain that Brand X wants to be on the side of corrupt executives [[DirtyCommunists than corrupt governments who would monitor food consumption]] of everyone under their reign outside of their elite. So they are hoping Chin can end communism by fueling him with their excess produce. It was not as if they had a presence in the communist side of the world anyhow, so they have nothing to lose economic-wise. |
| 170 | -->'''Lady X:''' Try saying ''[[CensoredForComedy *censored by the TV Tropes Pantheon morale committee*]]'' which I dare you all to do. |
| 171 | * Any member of Tediz has not eaten Brand X at all since they are teddy bears who do not require sustenance at all. [[OnlyAFleshWound However, they found a use for Brand X as stuffing for themselves when one of their soldiers is injured]]. Brand X surprisingly works well as a stuffing replacement, something that Brand X is glad to put as one of its selling points. That said, what made the Tediz attracted to Brand X in the first place was the fact that they used Nazi imagery in their packaging. [[RunningGag Again, whoever came up with that Brand X should have these mascots should not have graduated from advertising classes]]. Brand X mascots at least got some love in [[DeepSouth Southern United States areas]] admittedly. Funnily enough, despite mirroring the Nazis in every way, Brand X does not have a bias towards them even as a demographic to target. They want every potential consumer to love them, not be stuck with one consumer group that objectively gives them a bad reputation. |
| 172 | * Buy n Large was originally approached to be a major investor for Brand X as having the literal GodOfEvil as the only other major investor is not a good look. However, Buy n Large blew off Brand X as something to even consider when looking back at the number of incidents that brought Brand X to where they are today. They are not in the red but Brand X is still not even an inch towards supermarket domination. That said, Buy n Large did have the courtesy to send a small list of major changes that would make Brand X buyable to more investors. The Brand X army is thankful they never went through with Buy n Large considering their biggest recommendation was for entirely new mascots. It did not help that Lex Luthor also gave them the ''exact same message'' when they approached him to be an investor too. |
| 173 | -->'''Lady X:''' This look already took me weeks to pull off! I am not going to be replaced or be forced to wear some furrybait disguise! |
| 174 | -->'''General X:''' I would like to be furrybait. |
| 175 | -->'''Lady X:''' Oh please, you'd look more like a goblin than an animal. |
| 176 | * The Joker used Brand X in his infamous LaughingGas when it became clear to him that the product contained key chemicals that his gas uses. [[UniversalPoison It is no wonder why Brand X is so toxic to humans because it is just a few steps away from becoming an actual toxin]]. The Joker even went as far as to appear in Brand X commercials AsHimself to get people to eat more Brand X thus creating more suffering. The humorous thing is that Joker does not realize that Americans are perfectly fine eating poison anyhow, so it is the opposite of suffering that he is promoting. |
| 177 | * The Glukkons have held onto a share of Brand X Industries for a less nefarious reason than one would believe. Instead of seeing Brand X as secret assets, they believe that Brand X may have its chances in the alien market. [[BizarreAlienBiology There are many species out there that may not find Brand X as unhealthy or even as plain as humans do]]. As anybody knows, Brand X could be the cure for deadly alien diseases. Of course, [[CapitalismIsBad the Glukkons would exploit Brand X across the cosmos if the best case scenario were to come for them though they have more faith in the product than most]]. |
| 178 | * Homer Simpson in one of his horrible ideas, thought that generic brands were the future since he believes it is both cheaper with the same quality brands. The recession drove him to this and his family was initially understanding... [[InstantlyProvenWrong until they took one bite of Brand X and wished to die]]. His kids even resorted to taking their lunches home rather than eating through Brand X. Homer went to double down on his "investment" and became the sole eater of Brand X in the household. He did not mind the food but [[PottyFailure the amount of clogging the toilet]] went through became an indicator to Homer that maybe the bar drinks should be cut to save more instead of buying Brand X as the household groceries. Maybe also cut down on the donuts too. Homer can have his family be in a Creator/DisneyPlus ad again too for some extra cash on the side. [[DidntThinkThisThrough Now he is saying, "D'oh!" for not thinking about those solutions first.]] |
| 179 | * Lotso and Turbo have expressed a good attitude towards Lady X for being a reject on the run like themselves. Except that they respect Lady X for not only heading back to the place where she was rejected but also amassing enough manpower to completely decimate her competitors. [[EvenEvilHasStandards Even they cannot say that they are as brutal as Lady X is even at their vilest]]. They just thank any higher beings out there for not being tied to brands meant to be used in groceries, otherwise, Lady X would make them run to the hills. |
| 180 | * Amethyst and Chowder particularly have nothing wrong with Brand X upon eating it. [[ExtremeOmnivore Amethyst is an alien whose stomach can process anything and Chowder devouring everything in sight will do that to them]]. But at some point, they ate through so much of Brand X, their stomachs simultaneously hosted Brand X ''[[WhyAmITicking atomic bombs]]'' due to the different combinations of foods within themselves. Not wanting a nuclear PR disaster, Brand X leaders decided to delve into the two themselves. Lady X inside Mr. Clipboard went in Chowder while the other three leaders went inside Amethyst. [[TakeOurWordForIt Do not ask how, it was a nightmare]]. As a result of the traumatizing incident, Brand X forbade the selling of Brand X to what they call "two calorie-intaking monstrosities" which they found fair enough. |
| 181 | * Sabrina the Teenage Witch is repeatedly pissed off as Brand X is the only thing she can summon. Her magic has forbidden her from summoning other brands besides the generic ones, so she has to make do with Brand X. Sabrina's annoyance comes in when you consider how much bad nutritional value Brand X holds and all of the food goes right into her thighs. [[SpontaneousHumanCombustion And maybe she'll blow up due to this.]] |
| 182 | * The [=MythBusters=] have used Brand X in their experiments since they are legally unable to use anything else. [[DisneyOwnsThisTrope It turns out a person looks very suable to corporations if you show their products in a bad light]], which is why generic brands are used as placeholders instead. It just so happens that Brand X is the most generic name that brands could get, something that Brand X Industries should have realized sooner. Not that they take offense to the [=MythBusters=] blowing up their products. [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity In fact, they would encourage it more since it gives Brand X free publicity]]. Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage could have shown Brand X usability as mustard gas ingredients and they still would not have minded. |
| 183 | * Chimata Tenkyuu's ascension has not gone unnoticed by the House of Commerce, and Brand X was the first to step in and do something with the new arrival. The problem, however, was that their first action ''was the single worst idea they could think of'', which was to manufacture and distribute ripoff versions of the Spell Cards & Ability Cards that the Gensokyoans used. This pissed off the market goddess to no end, and with the help of [[Pantheon/MagicArchetypes Marisa Kirisame]], Chimata organized one of the largest assaults in modern Pantheon history, as all of the bullet hell franchise's ascended deities, ''and most of the non-ascended cast'', took the fight to Brand X for blatantly infringing on their cultural turf in a [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown spectacular raid that saw the company be absolutely devastated]]. |
| 184 | ** One little extra thing- among those that were non-ascended that joined the fight eventually ascended herself. [[Pantheon/MannersOfAuthority Keiki Haniyasushin]], who amassed an army of haniwa soldiers so massive that it impressed [[Pantheon/CharacterReveals Darth Vader]] (who, for the record, had [[Pantheon/LoyaltyAndServitude the 501st]] across all of the Pantheon in droves), seized control of many of the already bad-conditioned but very efficient manufacturing sites Brand X had during the assault. What did Keiki do with these? She repurposed these sites into factories for new haniwa and weapons... without changing much else. Many were jarred by this takeover, so much so that Keiki was in fact ascended as a result, and she now carries the MeetTheNewBoss trope. |

| 229 | * Friendly Enemies: '''[[Pantheon/VillainousSuccessAndFailure Jessie, James and Meowth]]''' |
| 230 | * Ash Ketchum is a boy from Pallet Town, a Pokémon Trainer who wishes to be the best like no one ever was. With his Pokémon partner Pikachu, he travels across the Pokémon world to fight off trainers to become a Pokémon Master. |
| 231 | * Was challenged by Yugi Muto to a card game for his powers; the duel is ''still'' going on. The rest of the Pantheon breathes a sigh of relief at keeping these two busy. |
| 232 | ** The Pantheon considered creating a punishment for anyone who interrupts their game without permission. They scrapped the idea, stating, "[[TemptingFate No one would be foolish enough to risk the combined wrath of Ash and Yugi.]]" |
| 233 | * Is rather annoyed when Gods prefer the girth of his first rival, Gary Oak, and not his. |
| 234 | ** It was yet another day when Terumi was rambling about his magnificence to the pantheon yet again. Ash, along with Brock and Misty, secretly went to his temple without getting caught to write in posters of what Gary would say to Ash when he was a {{Jerkass}}. The Next thing he knew, there posters on Terumi's temple saying "Gary was here; Terumi is a loser." Many deities find this very funny. |
| 235 | * Seems to have a kindred spirit with [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Cosmos]]. It's probably because [[Creator/VeronicaTaylor they have similar voices]]. |
| 236 | ** Also has cheered up one [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Carly Nagisa]] since they too share voices (more specifically, Ash is startled to find her sound similar to both his friend, May ''and'' his mom). |
| 237 | ** Ash even made a comment on [[Pantheon/CombatMagic Aqua]] and [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Pyrrha]] [[Creator/MegumiToyoguchi sounding like Dawn]], and [[Pantheon/OpposingFate Riku]] [[Creator/MamoruMiyano sounding like Cilan]]. Not only that, [[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances Oda Nobunaga]] has sounded like either [[Anime/BattleGirlsTimeParadox Dawn]], [[Anime/NobunagaTheFool Cilan]], or [[Anime/NobunagaConcerto Clemont]] in a few incarnations. |
| 238 | ** This caused some confusion when he met the [[Pantheon/{{Twins}} Alternate Counterparts]]. Yuya and his counterparts sound like Clemont and Yuzu and her counterparts sound like Dawn (both only in English) and that they also look similar with one another. Yuri couldn't help but troll the boy for quite some time over the confusion. He likes the idea of Action Dueling as it reminds him of many of his female companions and them being Performers/Coordinators (and he's even dabbled in that back at the Sinnoh Region). |
| 239 | *** Ash was interested to see if he could try being an Action Duelist, especially since they remind him of his Serena and her being a performer. He heard that (his) Serena read of [[Fanfic/BetweenMyBrotherAndMeMorsOmnibus a world]] where the two of them were Action Duelists...except that the world they came from had no qualms in killing and resurrecting people ("repurposed" the terminology was) and that he ''himself'' was one of these repurposed souls, not to mention that he was also a proficient master of Aura. But what horrified him the most was learning that [[spoiler:Serena (or Yvonne in that world) ''murdered Yusho Sakaki in front of a live audience'' before breaking down in tears. He was consoling his friend for days after.]] |
| 240 | * Is happy to find his friends Misty and Brock also in the Pantheon, but is also weary on Team Rocket as opposing gods. He is willing to put that aside though when it comes to Ghetsis, since the Team Plasma member tested his mind control technology on Pikachu as part of another plot to gain control of the Legendary Pokémon in the Pantheon. |
| 241 | * Became quick friends with Chase, sharing their deep passion for their respected {{Mon}}s. Chase had once attempted to try his hand on landing a position in the House of Commerce with his Foodons to share Ash's position, however, they didn't make nearly as big an impact as Franchise/{{Pokemon}} had. Despite this, Chase holds no grudge and still enjoys his company. |
| 242 | * Has the ability to use Aura. While many Gods have suggested that he train with that ability, he's declined. But with Lucario's ascension, Ash has decided to give it a try once more. |
| 243 | ** A discovery has noted that whenever he battles alongside Greninja, [[spoiler:Greninja somehow obtains a form dubbed "Ash-Greninja", and their minds become one, to the point that whatever pain Greninja obtains, Ash also feels]]. There's now a big case of study between the two gods. Unfortunately, this lead to Lysandre kidnapping Ash and Greninja in order to claim them both as "guides" for his new world. One thing is for certain, Mega Evolution energy can't control both of them. Has become good friends with Lan and Megaman.exe, who helped him control the Ash-Greninja form [[spoiler:although that wasn't enough for him to win the Kalos League, though he did finish in second]]. |
| 244 | * Do not confuse him with the trainer [[VideoGame/PokemonRedAndBlue Red]] [[Anime/PokemonOrigins and any of]] [[Manga/PokemonAdventures his different versions]]. [[FlameWar It will most likely not end well]]. Naturally, Ash is oblivious to the whole conflict. Some gods do wonder what would happen if The Mob decided to possess him though. |
| 245 | * Was pleasantly surprised to find Latios and Latias in the Pantheon, particularly after [[spoiler:Latios' HeroicSacrifice]]. It doesn't seem he's noticed the blushing, affectionate way Latias acts around him. |
| 246 | * Once, Curious George went to the House of Commerce and [[RunningGag stole his hat]]. He gave it back after a while and quickly became friends with him. The Man with the Yellow Hat has Ash on speed dial after that incident in case he needs help taking care of George in parts of the pantheon he cannot reach as a non-combatant non-deity. He is actually grateful to find someone who can understand George as well as he can. |
| 247 | * Along with Misty, Brock, Pikachu and Team Rocket, Ash is expressly forbidden from entering Cyberspace after [[BannedEpisode a certain incident]]. |
| 248 | * One of the nicest gods in the Pantheon, Ash has earned the friendship of many gods of different genres: |
| 249 | ** He quickly befriended Samus Aran after hearing she saved Pikachu in the [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Subspace Emissary]]. "Any friend of Pikachu is a friend of mine." he said. |
| 250 | ** Both the Master Chief and Jim Raynor speak fondly of Ash; John because he finds a kindred spirit in Ash for his heroism and determination; Raynor because Ash reminds him of his second-in-command Matt Horner. |
| 251 | ** Arceus, God of all Pokémon, enjoys Ash's company, because Ash [[Anime/PokemonArceusAndTheJewelOfLife returned the Jewel of Life]] and proved humanity's inherent goodness. For that reason, both Arceus and [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Tyrael]], the Archangel of Justice, have made a covenant to protect the boy from demonic threats. |
| 252 | ** Other Nintendo gods, such as Mario, Link, are friends with Ash and wish him well on his travels. |
| 253 | ** Ash was happy to see [[Pantheon/MetalAndMinerals Diancie]] and [[Pantheon/{{Mammals}} Xerneas]] again after [[Anime/PokemonDiancieAndTheCocoonOfDestruction their last adventure together]]. He felt a bit nervous around Yveltal but Xerneas was able to smooth things over. Ash and Xerneas are yet comment whether or not Xerneas is behind Ash's ability to remain a ten-year-old. |
| 254 | ** Is best friends with [[Pantheon/AnalysisAndRecords Twilight Sparkle]] since they both believe in ThePowerOfFriendship. Ash agrees with Twilight that friendship is the greatest power of all. This has also made him really good friends with Gentaro Kisaragi, the god empowered by friendship. When they first met, they exchanged handshakes. |
| 255 | ** Also [=BFFs=] with [[Pantheon/HeroicRoles Steven Universe]], thanks to sharing the same all-loving nature as him. |
| 256 | * Because of his wholly heroic nature, Ash has a bad habit of making enemies with evil gods in the Pantheon: |
| 257 | ** Ash harbors a deep hatred of Melkor, because for [[FriendToAllLivingThings every]] [[NiceGuy virtue]] [[AllLovingHero Ash]] [[TheFettered represents]], [[CompleteMonster Melkor]] [[LackOfEmpathy represents]] [[EnemyToAllLivingThings the]] [[{{Jerkass}} complete]] [[TheUnfettered opposite]]. However, Melkor being the original evil and well above even the most dangerous Teams in his world in depravity (Pokémon is a franchise for the younger demographic after all) prevents him from taking action. He is perfectly aware that Melkor, or ''any'' big villain in the Pantheon would aim to kill his Pokémon, not just knock them out like in his world, and eliminate him too for good measure. May want to join the proposed GUAG Animal Advocates as a show of support against Melkor. |
| 258 | ** [[Pantheon/CrueltyAndSadism Yuuki Terumi]] is another notable example. His love for wanton cruelty and destruction always causes Ash to try and stop him whenever he shows up. Ash also [[BerserkButton REALLY hates it]] when [[ManipulativeBastard Terumi]] takes advantage of his ChronicHeroSyndrome. |
| 259 | ** [[Pantheon/{{Transformations}} Frieza]] has earned Ash's ire as well, mainly because of the fact that he [[BadBoss treats his minions like utter garbage]] and wipes entire planets of their life and sells them to other powerful villains, including many evil deities in the Pantheon. |
| 260 | ** Don't even get started on [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Albert Wesker]]. Just thinking about his [[EvilutionaryBiologist very]] [[TheSocialDarwinist actions]] sends Ash into a fit of rage. |
| 261 | ** [[Pantheon/{{Reptiles}} Apophis]] is someone that Ash ''refuses'' to believe could exist. Considering how in the Pokémon world, there is no such thing as an inherently evil Pokémon. |
| 262 | ** Ash hates Simon Laurent due to how Simon has slaughtered many denizens for the sake of "power", refuses to change his ways and even went as far as to ''attempting to murder his best friend''. Furthermore Simon's continued attitude towards Nulls that has extended to Pokémon has left little of a good taste in his mouth towards the guy. Ash has even suspected that Simon could go as far as harming his friends if he caught wind of them given his manipulations of a group of children that were part of the Apex. |
| 263 | ** Most evil gods in the Nintendo pantheon have a low opinion of Ash as well. Bowser thinks he's an annoying pest, while Ganondorf views him as a foolish, naïve child. Naturally, he opposes all of them, but the one who draws his ire the most is [[Pantheon/{{Pragmatism}} Raven Beak]]. Ash was utterly horrified to learn from Samus Aran that the Mawkin chief [[FinalSolution slaughtered an entire tribe of his own race]] and reportedly intends to conduct highly unethical experiments on Pokémon to exploit their abilities. |
| 264 | * Ash might not be the brightest kid of his age, but he's kind, benevolent and courageous, qualities that have earned him many allies and friends. Harming Ash for a petty reason is considered one of the cruelest and most terrible crimes in the Pantheon and will cause ''almost every single Pokémon'' in the Pantheon to gun after the perpetrator's head. The Goliath attempted to kill Ash simply because the latter thought he was a Pokémon, and since then, the evil beast has been wary around any Pokémon he comes across. Reynard the Fox thinks twice about attempting to do anything to Ash, especially after Uxie punished him. |
| 265 | * He occasionally visits the House of Pantheon/{{Food}}, whenever he feels hungry. Which is a lot. Quite a few gods are amazed at how a kid can eat so much. |
| 266 | * A common subject of debate among the Pantheon is how Ash [[ChickMagnet attracts the attention of several females]] in his home universe and yet is [[ObliviousToLove too oblivious to notice]].[[note]]read: In ''Pokémon'' canon, there are at least six girls, Misty included, who harbor feelings for him and there are at least five Pokémon, Latias included, who have developed crushes on him.[[/note]] The Nurturers of the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection have joked that perhaps they should help Serena ascend to the Pantheon, if only to make things more interesting for Ash. After all, [[spoiler:she was the subject of his first kiss (not counting Latias)]]. |
| 267 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BccFX2rRtsQ Others think it's because of a lot of factors]], mainly not having any intimate interest with his female companions ([[ShippingGoggles as much as many would disagree]]), stunted education regarding social norms of intersexual interactions because of [[DisappearedDad his missing father]], and Brock's colossal failures in wooing women. There's also the fact that he gets quite absorbed in Pokémon training, suggesting that he is effectively MarriedToTheJob. |
| 268 | ** And then many gods dropped their jaws when they learned of Serena's farewell for Ash--many gods who bet on her to [[spoiler:give him a farewell kiss]] were screaming in joy that day. Soon thereafter, the Nurturers' "[[BeCarefulWhatYouSay joke]]" [[Pantheon/LoveInterests became a reality]]. |
| 269 | * Met Atalanta after the latter had heard his reputation of [[PalsWithJesus befriending beings worthy of divinity]]. After hearing Atalanta's story, Ash couldn't help but feel sorry for her, as she had come from a world harsher and crueller than his own. Even so, he said that her desire to protect children was truly admirable and promised to do whatever he could to support her. He is also fond of [[AffectionateGestureToTheHead patting her in the head]] the same way he does to Pikachu, and amazingly, Atalanta [[PetTheDog doesn't complain]]. |
| 270 | * Ash dislikes Kazuya for several reasons. To start with, the battles he participates in are far more brutal (summoners are expected to attack and be attacked with live weapons), often end with the losing party forced to give up their valuables at swordpoint (if they survive at all), and summoners have the nasty habit of fusing off their old demons [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness once their usefulness has passed]]. Kazuya retorts his world [[CrapsackWorld is nowhere]] [[AfterTheEnd as well-off]] as Ash's, so everyone has adopted a dog-eat-dog mentality, and since his demons don't grow or evolve like Pokémon and he only has a limited amount of storage, as much as he might want to keep his old demons, he needs stronger ones to survive. |
| 271 | * Many deities believed that Ash was being controlled by the Status Quo, and that the Status Quo would never allow him to win any League in any region. The Status Quo’s control, however, was broken when Ash won the Alola League by defeating all opponents, up to and including the Guardian Pokémon of Alola, Tapu Koko who challenged Ash's Pikachu in Ash's final match against the region's technical Champion and Ash's father figure, Prof. Kukui. As such many deities have been very happy to hear of this. Furthermore, since Ash is planning on taking on the best Pokémon trainer of his world, Leon, many look forward to see him succeed and truly crown himself the best like no one ever was. |
| 272 | ** It only got better once Ash [[spoiler:officially reached the Masters Eight and is preparing himself to take on the World's best trainers whose ranks include the likes of Lance, Steven, Diantha, Cynthia and Leon making even more deities gain massive respect for the once-underestimated trainer of Pallet Town. In fact, his recent victories against Steven Stone and Cynthia managed to increase the respect for him tenfold among all circles of the Pantheon, with many that don't even follow his adventures getting to learn just how incredible his feats now are and how much he's not to be triffled with.]] |
| 273 | ** [[spoiler:And at last he's become the World Champion after defeating the long-reigning World Monarch, Leon, who had previously beaten other Champions himself and thus at last is truly the greatest trainer of his world. Any who once disrespected Ash now either respect or are amazed by his newly-proved battle prowess.]] |

Others claim she might have been in various relationships with many men because of the fact she was given her code thanks to a nun who wished to finally be free of her immortality]]. |
| 290 | * Despite being cold to most people upon being freed of her confines, she quickly warmed up to Lelouch and his personal rebellion against the Britannian Empire. She knew his actions would leave a bloody trail and turn the entire world upside down, and considering how long she's lived that kind of excitement was something she didn't want to pass up. More importantly, the former price could also grant her own wish to be free of the code that prevents her from dying. |

| 321 | * The SCP Foundation has a number of "persons of interest", people not classified as [=SCPs=] but associated with them. Many pharmaceutical [=SCPs=] are created by the enigmatic dado. A brilliant pharmacist and entrepreneur with an absolutely terrible grasp of communication skills, marketing and especially the English language, dado makes many products with weird and even deadly side effects if used incorrectly. However to his credit dado will always mention the side effects and give an instruction on how to use his medicine. More recently, he's begun diversifying his income with ventures into everything from mundane dry cleaning to anomalous convenience stores. |
| 322 | * dado is always mentioned in lower case, and like [[Pantheon/AntiHeroism Drax the Destroyer]] and [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Amelia Bedalia]] he's LiteralMinded. He's a foreigner with a bad grasp on English... [[AmbiguouslyHuman or human]]. Depending on who you ask he is a defector from The Factory, an alien who manipulates space-time for money or a greed demon. He has no idea that his English is bad, which funnily enough has lead to him complaining about Fawful's engrish without any irony. The two have ended up feuding on message boards complaining about poor grammar and other relatively meaningless disputes. [[Pantheon/{{Language}} Tommy Wiseau]] joined in to make the conversation weirder, bringing up "how is your sex life". Fawful [[FlatWhat said "what."]] and dado replied "do you need dado boner pills?" The chat ended afterwards. |
| 323 | * dado ascended to the Trope Pantheon as he heard the SCP Foundation, who has their eyes on him, has reduced influence there, so moving there would be more financially advisable. Looking to build his influence, he soon met an inventor just as odd as him [[SpeakingSimlish with his own curious language quirks]]; Professor E.Gadd. dado tried to reach [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Mario]] first in his "Dr Mario" form only for him to not be able to accept in good conscience his weird medicine. E.Gadd was quirkier and more experimental with his stuff, so he was more willing to show dado the ropes. The two want to understand more about each other's crafts. Mordin Solus was dado's first customer, though this is for the sake of studying and synthesizing more reliable versions of his anomalous drugs; he feels he needs to keep an eye on dado so pharmacies don't get screwed over by purchasing from him, so he exploited dado's {{Greed}}. |
| 324 | * Due to it being much harder (or more like an exercise in futility) to hide anomalies in the Trope Pantheon, dado has managed to make money from selling his anomalous drugs. Unfortunately it soon became clear ''why'' the SCP Foundation works to contain them. Professionals in the House of Pantheon/HealthAndDiseases can't ban dado's products but they'll remind you to always consider the side effects dado lists. Some examples of his medicine include |
| 325 | ** SCP-3521 are a bunch of pills that when ingested, spawn enough bananas in the stomach cause death by radiation poisoning. As the amount is 9150 tons of bananas, it immediately causes whoever has the banana pills to explode. Even Donkey Kong was turned off from eating bananas, at least a while, after reading it. Pretty much the only deities who were able to ingest it were [[Pantheon/{{Food}} Kirby]] and [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Gluttony]], who are also able to avoid the radiation poisoning that'd kill a human. Researchers are trying to create a machine that can simulate ingesting as a way to get an immediately huge resource of bananas without any squickiness or fatality. |
| 326 | ** SCP-3929 are meant to act as Viagra and greatly boost the libido of the subject however much to the chagrin of the [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Lust]] [[Pantheon/LustfulActs Halls]] while in effect the user ages by 77 years. Being immortal, Jack Harkness tested these pills and found that [[TheAgeless if you don't age]] the negative side-effects are cancelled out. [[ImmortalityPromiscuity He doesn't want to admit how much he spent on condoms]] [[TheInternetIsForPorn or his search engine]] though, due how libidinous the pills made him. |
| 327 | ** SCP-3494 is a laxative which while harmless, causes the user to expel more waste than their body weight, let alone what someone should logically excrete. Some have speculated this created [[Pantheon/LivingObjects the Great Mighty Poo]]. The Angry Video Game Nerd [[ToiletHumor is investigating these pills]], which annoys dado as "super-lax is no toy". [[NoodleIncident This led to the Turbo Toilet 2000 demanding dado's head]] for... reasons best left unexplained. |
| 328 | ** SCP-4257 transforms someone into an automobile. Instances of SCP-4257-1 are capable of moving in only two directions: the direction opposite of Earth's gravity and forward. Naturally people wonder "why the hell did dado think this was a good idea?" It probably wouldn't have any effect on [[Pantheon/{{Transformers}} a Transformer]], but none of them want to test it. |
| 329 | * In hindsight, the banana pills were revealed as "not so much medicine as much as it is pill to make banana and also kill u. very effective treatment for ailment that is life". Basically it's an elaborate assassination tool via radiation poisoning[[note]][[ItMakesSenseInContext there were rulings behind why]] [[LoopholeAbuse he couldn't just do an obvious assassination job]][[/note]] so it seems people just made the mistake of thinking it's a medicinal drug. dado decided to make the side effects clearly in the print with the next batch. He also banned Thief from having any of his stuff. Why? Well first off he's a thief who got in trouble with dado taking his stuff, but the fact he exploits fine print to legally get away with it pisses dado off. Also, Thief gets away not paying his taxes, [[EveryoneHasStandards when even dado makes sure to do his taxes]]. |
| 330 | * Some have made comparisons between dado and Eirin Yagokoro. They are both pharmacists capable of producing rather fantastic products. dado considers her to be a major rival in his business ventures, as her ability to make ''any drug'' is something he's envious about. And it's true that she's a much more successful pharmacist than him in the Trope Pantheon, but a large factor behind this is that dado's poor grasp of English and/or human, alongside his own unique inventions being AwesomeButImpractical at best. Personally he has never forgiven her for remarking that she doubts he has a legitimate medical license. |
| 331 | * In an attempt to prevent distribution of his anomalous medicine but lacking the influence in the Trope Pantheon to outright prevent it compared to their sheer power in their native reality, the SCP Foundation chose another tactic; [[ReassignedToAntarctica they would push Zoidberg a being dado's biggest promoter!]] [[Memes/{{Futurama}} Who else but]] [[BackAlleyDoctor Zoidberg]] to give them a bad name by being the main proprietor? Hilariously neither dado or Zoidberg have caught on to this scheme, which has led to plenty of complaints from [[Pantheon/{{Futurama}} the Planet Express crew]] levied at dado... [[ButtMonkey but more at Zoidberg]]. The exception of these complaints was Professor Farnsworth, [[MadScientist as he is contemplating working with dado on something]] and thinks he could make money moving his anomalies. |
| 332 | --> '''Professor Farnsworth''': "Good news everybody! You'll be delivering packages of SCP-3802 to the planet Lepusa 6!" |
| 333 | * Due to the sometimes hazardous traits his products have, he usually sources people who are willing to make dodgy decisions with selling products like Bubs and Apu. dado wants to branch out to the Hall of Medical Conditions as he wants to make products to help them out, but they consider him more of a nuisance. dado has also been interested in the Hall of Diseases because he wants to figure out how to make anomalous drugs to counter-act the supernatural disease causers. In addition, dado wants to study Compound V and is trying to make a business deal with Vought-International. The SCP Foundation believes what he's really after is befriending their crack team of lawyers so he can better dodge complaints from angry customers. |
| 334 | * Despite his questionable products, dado still values his customers and would never knowingly harm them. This is where his disgust for Conal Cochran comes from; he outright sells deadly products, and that is unforgivable to dado. dado isn't fond of Nigel West Dickens either, though not to the level of Conal. Some consider this hypocritical given how bizarre and potentially deadly dado's products are, but in his defense they always have some intended purpose and he never truly lies about them. Also, he doesn't intend anything he makes for recreational drug use. dado respects Giorno and his friends from keeping Italy free of drugs (even if to simply prevent his pharmaceutical products being abused), but has also stated that for legal reasons he cannot publicly endorse gangsters. By contrast, he disrespects Walter White for being a chemistry teacher who used his knowledge for drugs, when dado thinks he should've made money in medicine. Heisenberg can't take dado seriously enough to comment. |
| 335 | * If dado is not a fan of drugs used for recreational use (well, mainly ''his'' drugs), you better believe he's livid at Jonathan Crane's use of Fear Toxins. dado can see the potential use of a controlled variation as a form of "exposure therapy", but he is appalled by the psychological and often physical damage Scarecrow causes for... well, ForScience at best, ForTheEvulz at worst. And you can bet he hates the Joker for, among other crimes, using Joker Venom and other toxic chemicals. On another note, while he doesn't care much for those that willingly take drugs he does pity those forced into it like Ash Lynx and Eiji Okumura. dado is horrified by the effects of Banana Fish, since it is a potent tool of brainwashing. |
| 336 | * [[BerserkButton He has a really low tolerance]] [[CopHater for cops]]. He hates them ever since he saw his customers being victimized by PoliceBrutality. He made a donut-dispensing machine to tempt police, causing them to crap out living squealing pigs that are bigger the more offenses they committed... God only knows how big that'd pig would be [[Pantheon/TaintedLaw if the Dark Judges]] ate one of dado's donuts; [[Pantheon/TaintedLaw Tenpenny and Pulaski shudder at the thought]]. Few fall for it due to the bad grammar, though Chief Wiggum did. Naturally he was traumatized by the experience and has sworn to bring in dado. Homer loves his donuts and dado's donuts wouldn't affect him negatively, but he's still pretty disgusted by this "perversion of donuty goodness!". Inevitably dado was blacklisted by the Hall of Pantheon/{{Officers}} and a rule never to take anything from dado was established for its members. |
| 337 | * Despite his oddities and questionable inventions dado does respect those who are passionate about science and try and use it for the greater good, like Lewis Anthonio and Senku Ishigami. In particular, that they never give up. They aren't sure about dado's medical inventions, but they'll give him credit for his inventiveness. Qyburn wants to see dado improve his craft as he has been purchasing some of his anomalies for study, and wants dado to make drugs with more utility; [[MadDoctor ethical considerations notwithstanding]]. dado was able to get a deal with Buy n Large for additional promotion, along with possibly showing up Jeff Bezos... [[UnknownRival though the latter doesn't seem to know who dado even is]]. |
| 338 | * [[SitcomArchnemesis dado has a silly little feud]] with Dr Doofinshmirtz due to a case of mistaken occupation. Because of his labcoat [[RunningGag he is repeatedly mistaken for a pharmacist]] and dado is no exception to that. Due to his many -inators, some of which having very weird effects, dado keeps pushing his products on Doof and sends advertisements that clog up his mailbox on how they should be partners. Having reformed he isn't going to go seek revenge on dado, but he is sick of dado not getting the hint and is considering some sort of lawsuit against him. |

| 355 | * Source Of Interest for: Various deities in the House of Pantheon/{{Commerce}} (Mainly Scrooge [=McDuck=], Mr. Burns and Buy n Large) |
| 356 | * On Bad Terms with: [[Pantheon/FamilyDynamics Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader]], [[Pantheon/{{Mammals}} King]] [[Pantheon/PlotArchetypes Kong]] |
| 357 | * Despite his simple design, this Bunny has a long story behind him, he's traveled through various Universes, meeting all kinds of characters. With nothing but promoting his companies' batteries as his goal, all while avoiding the evil schemes of Supervolt, Energizer's rival. |
| 358 | ** His origins may have been detailed in a commercial where a man seeking eternal life by freeing a [[JackassGenie genie]], was transformed into the Bunny by [[ExactWords his wish]]. Despite how horrible it sounds, the Bunny seems unfazed by his past and mostly remains committed to his duty of promoting Energizer's batteries. |
| 359 | * He's made himself many foes in his adventures: |
| 360 | ** One notable was Darth Vader. On Palpatine's orders, he attempted to capture the Bunny to obtain it's battery for his master, he managed to track it down to Bespin, the same day where he captured Han Solo, but things went downhill for Vader when his lightsaber failed to work properly due to him employing Supervolt batteries for it, leaving him humiliated and throwing a tantrum with the Bunny escaping unscathed. Though he pulled a HeelFaceTurn long ago, Anakin still doesn't feels like talking to the Bunny and avoids his presence, mainly because of [[OldShame how embarrassing that was]], and also because all of the other Star Wars Deities, evil and good alike, won't ever [[NeverLiveItDown stop bringing that up]]. |
| 361 | ** King Kong was tricked by Supervolt into capturing/killing the Bunny, the giant ape attempted to do so by climbing a building to get it, but wound up failing due to a [[ItMakesSenseInContext woman closing a window on his feet and causing Kong to plummet into the street below.]] Like Anakin/Vader, [[OldShame Kong does not like to remember or talk about this.]] |
| 362 | ** The Wicked Witch of the West tried to obtain his battery as well, chasing him through the Emerald City in the Land of Oz, she came close to capturing him via threatening him with a burning broom, but wound up activating a fire alarm and caused a downpour of water to melt her into a puddle. To this day, she still plots to obtain the battery successfully. |
| 363 | ** Dracula had the misfortune of having the Bunny invade his castle, much to his frustration and set out to kill it, only to end up accidentally following it out of his castle and getting killed by the sunlight. Dracula has sworn that he'll catch and kill the bunny when he can, ever since. |
| 364 | ** Wile E. Coyote was hired to catch the Bunny by Supervolt, who also provided him with batteries for his ACME gadgets, unfortunately for Wile E., the incompetence of all antagonistic parties led to miserable failure and the Bunny escaped once more unscathed. |
| 365 | * On the other hand, he's had a friendly encounter with Po when the latter was starting his training, with Po trying to prevent the Bunny from being hurt by the Jade Palace's obstacle course, but the Bunny was fine afterwards, with Po getting himself injured in the process. That said, the two became friends afterwards and Po even got the Furious Five to befriend him as well. |
| 366 | * His power output isn't all talk, after more than 30 years on the market, the bunny hasn't stopped even once. In fact, his battery once was able to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6TKJnTFizY power up a stranded and inactive alien saucer]] back to full power with the Bunny completely fine afterwards. |
| 367 | ** In another occasion, he skillfully dodged a drone attack of Supervolt's, outlasting his enemies' batteries once again. Also proving in the process that could be even faster than he usually is. |
| 368 | * He's become a target of various corporations and [=CEOs=] in the Pantheon, who seek out his battery as a power source for their plans and businesses. |
| 369 | ** Among them is Buy n Large, which has not come close to catching the Bunny despite their best efforts at it. |
| 370 | ** Another one is Mr. Burns who tried to have the Bunny captured and used as a power source to improve his company's performance. Like everyone before him, he failed and was left in the dust by the Bunny. |
| 371 | ** Scrooge [=McDuck=] is a more benevolent party than the others, and is mostly seeking out the way the Bunny keeps it's battery going and going after years of service. As such, the Bunny has been willing to cooperate with [=McDuck=] industries in their operations. |
| 372 | * While on the Hall of Pantheon/SingersAndPerformers he met up with the various good aligned Deities of the House and was part of a very large concert held in the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}}. When it was over, he befriended various of the performers and singers: |
| 373 | ** Due to their memetic status, Epic Sax Guy and the Bunny became great friends, sometimes they even perform as a duo in random places in the Pantheon. Not that anyone's complaining as their music meshes well together. |
| 374 | ** He also befriended fellow drummer, Ritsu, her energetic brash personality bounced off the Bunny's equally energetic but more reserved one. Likewise she finds him cute and petted him for a while after meeting him. He's also not made fun of her forehead, much to her delight. The two have also developed a rather friendly rivalry. |
| 375 | * He's not quite happy with the Incubators' amoral methods of obtaining energy for the survival of the Universe, and tried often to suggest using Energizer batteries as a replacement to them. They didn't listen, of course, and ever since they've been on real bad terms with each other. |
| 376 | * His antics have earned him a great friendship with the Pantheon/LooneyTunes deities, who consider him a Looney Tune in spirit, most especially the Roadrunner, Bugs Bunny and Daffy, who've all had to deal with similar situations to the ones that the Bunny finds himself in. Helps that the Bunny also had to deal with Wile E. Coyote chasing after him. |

| 392 | * OddFriendship: [[Pantheon/MilitaryTechnology Amuro Ray]], [[Pantheon/WeaponizedAppendages Kouji Kabuto]] |
| 393 | * Every product that wishes to make it big in the eyes of the public requires a {{Mascot}} for easier identification. Whether it's "cute", "hot", or otherwise, this mascot has to represent it as a whole, be easily identifiable, and be distinguishable from other mascots. As a long-running CashCowFranchise mascot in Japan for {{Creator/Sanrio}}, Hello Kitty was nominated to represent this trope. |
| 394 | ** Actually, she used to hold SeriesMascot, but didn't exactly qualify since her series came ''after'' her conception, so Mario decided to surrender one of his titles to her and keep RuleOfFun. |
| 395 | * Kitty has no actual powers, but she was elevated from Quasideity to Demigoddess once the gods learned of her true secret ability: [[CashCowFranchise being in many places at once]]. |
| 396 | ** And then when her [[VideoGame/HelloKittyRollerRescue Roller Rescue]] adventure was made known, as well as what she's got there, not to mention her crossover with ''Gundam'', her rank was corrected again into Lesser Goddess. |
| 397 | * Despite her Japanese origins, [[ButNotTooForeign she's apparently British]] because she was originally a British fashion label. She's also only as tall as stack of 5 apples, and weighs about three of them. |
| 398 | * Has befriended a few of her heavily-merchandised western counterparts, such as Garfield, [=SpongeBob SquarePants=], Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, and Mickey Mouse. None of them realized that she could talk, because they rarely ever saw her mouth ([[https://youtu.be/n0bHuyrf-dY though she does have one]]). Likewise, she was confused by Garfield, another TalkingAnimal who ([[WesternAnimation/TheGarfieldShow rarely]]) opened his mouth when he spoke. |
| 399 | * Her cuteness pretty much caused a three way struggle between Chiyo, Yotsuba and Rena Ryuguu who immediately went into ImTakingHerHomeWithMe mode when they met for the first time. This then caused other gods to pretty much die of cuteness overload from the four until Hello Kitty handed the three stuffed toys of her liking, that way they had their own Hello Kitty of their own. Then other younger goddesses came and begged for their own Hello Kitty toys from her. Let's just say that Hello Kitty's been going into the House of Craft often because of that. |
| 400 | * Once got into a Street Fighter mood and soon had dolls of her dressed up as [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Ryu]], [[Pantheon/FighterArchetypes Chun-Li]] and [[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude M. Bison]] ([[MemeticMutation OF COURSE!]]). Ryu's reaction was confused, Chun-Li cooed over hers, and M. Bison just took a doll of his own and stormed off. |
| 401 | * Denies being a cat, despite her appearance. She was placed here instead of the house of Felines at her own request. [[http://en.rocketnews24.com/2014/08/28/hello-kitty-isnt-a-cat-we-called-sanrio-to-find-out/ What she is is a gijinka cat]]; just like Mickey Mouse, she's not human, but not quite the animal she looks like either. |
| 402 | * If fighting becomes necessary for her, she has a {{magic wand}} (or "toy hammer" or "Mambo" maraca) and roller skates at her disposal for whacking foes with (as well as an area-of-effect Love Radiation) and smooth maneuvers. It's also where she first tangled with a HumongousMecha driven by the main boss, even if all she could do was stall it long enough for Keroppi's Photon Cannon to charge and finish it off. |
| 403 | ** And in the face of {{Kaiju}}-size threats, if the usual heroes aren't available, she has a [[https://www.hlj.com/chogokin-hello-kitty-ban986717 CHOGOKIN mecha]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yhP9ANQb7Fc in her likeness]] as a reward for answering an HonestAxe situation correctly when she dropped her ''Anime/MazingerZ'' action figure in a lake. It has three modes of travel besides walking; Drive Mode for vehicle-like cruising, Dive Mode for underwater travel, and Flight Mode for traversing the skies. As for weapon systems however, it only has a RocketPunch that isn't even that powerful but seems to be able to sap an opponent's will to fight. She can likely attack physically with her mecha, too. |
| 404 | * ''Street Fighter'' isn't even the strangest crossover she's been a part of; [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fyp40FVEoPM She once received a distress signal]] from [[Pantheon/{{Machinery}} Haro]] through a TV to save Amuro Ray. It was a…confusing affair, to say the least. While he doesn't remember that incident, he appreciates her desire for peace. |
| 405 | ** It wouldn't be her first crossover with mechas, either. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8sQ6GqvD8I During a stroll on her Chogokin Hello Kitty]], she saw a certain Jet Scrander flying overhead. Seconds later, as she heard someone call for her to get out of the way, Mazinger Z crashed into her mecha, and for some inexplicable reason, their color themes were swapped (with Kitty's mech getting the black scheme and red heat chest plates, and Kouji's mech getting Kitty's ribbon in place of his usual Breast Fire panels). Still, when the opposition came, they managed to send those goons packing. |
| 406 | ** As a result of this, she has an honorary spot in the Pantheon/GUAGRobotWarDivision and is undergoing training in order to provide support. |
| 407 | * [[https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/List_of_Splatfests_in_Splatoon_2 Was represented in a Splatfest]] hosted by [[Pantheon/FriendshipDynamicsMToZ Off The Hook]] that included her and other Sanrio characters. With Pearl of that duo representing her both times she won against Cinnomoroll, but lost against My Melody. The Inklings and Octolings were joyed to meet her and even invited her to a few of their Turf War games. |

| 429 | * Have you ever ordered a pizza delivery from a non-Domino's restaurant and your pizza ends up arriving as a huge mess? Then you may have been a victim of the infamous Noid, a quirky, malicious gremlin that only lives to ruin your pizza. The Noid's specialty is pizza destruction, whatever method that may be- freeze it, crush it, incinerate it, throw it on the pavement, the Noid doesn't stop at anything to ruin the pizza you ordered, and is generally unrivaled at his craft. However, the pizzas made at Domino's Pizza have always managed to [[{{Tagline}} Avoid the Noid]], and as absurd as the Noid's methods can get, none of them have enabled him to thwart Domino's pizza deliveries, whether by well-trained deliverymen or even their self-driving vehicles. Even their pizza boxes prove to be indestructible towards the Noid's antics, [[PlotArmor for reasons we cannot really explain.]] Whenever the Noid goes after Domino's Pizza, he ends up just as ruined as the pizzas of competing brands he messes up, which demonstrates that Domino's Pizza is better at pizza delivery than the rest. |
| 430 | * When Domino's Pizza had been made to move away from the idea of enforcing such a precarious challenge, due to the real dangers of rushing such deliveries, it would be inevitable that the Noid who represented such challenges lost some relevance in turn. But the very idea of having to deliver a pizza quickly, or else the payment would be void, it had already made its mark on pizza culture, and its influence still lingers, as does the Noid. While the Pantheon already had its share of its own pizzerias, the likes of the Domino's Pizza brand still ended up having a good hold on its significance in the Pantheon, with one of its main reasons being a certain anti-mascot that followed the likes of pizza deliverymen into the Pantheon. Frequent reports of pizza delivery craft being wrecked and pizza delivery workers getting hospitalized were showing up, and even worse, [[FauxHorrific higher frequency of ruined pizzas.]] It wasn't long before the Pantheon found its culprit, the Noid, bouncing around on his Pizza Crusher in his personal war on pizza himself. As much as the gods tried to remove him in the name of pizza, he always ended up coming back, and so they realized that the Noid had already ascended with a long disregarded trope, ThirtyMinutesOrItsFree, or perhaps the trope itself had manifested into the Pantheon through The Noid himself. Who knows? |
| 431 | ** The Noid's advertising campaign had been hampered by the gradually declining emphasis on quick, 30-minute deliveries, but there was also an incident involving another person with the last name of Noid. A man in real life named Kenneth Lamar Noid, due to a similar namesake to the Noid himself, got paranoid of Domino's Pizza targeting and tormenting him based on the coincidental names alone, and it dropped his mental health to the point where he went to a nearby Domino's and took its employees hostage. Though no one was hurt, and he was deemed not guilty by insanity, Kenneth had committed suicide later on. While people do speak of how it impacted The Noid's status as a mascot, The Noid himself surprisingly doesn't hold much against the man for it. People would wonder why he doesn't seem to hold much resentment, but given that The Noid would eventually get [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVGAHqXVveM more modern commercials later]] despite it all, some people theorize that The Noid has moved on from such an unfortunate history. |
| 432 | * The Noid's temple can be described as a small industrial city sector where the tenant cost is cheap for mortals to take shelter in, though if they hope to get a non-Domino's Pizza delivery there, they're out of luck. Pizza does get delivered there, but it's mainly for the Noid to ruin and destroy with his various gadgets, machines, and even sorcery, all in the name of ruining pizza deliveries. There have been sightings of multiple copies of the Noid running about, chasing unwary pizza deliverymen to turn their pizza boxes into pizza garbage piles. It does explain how the Noid manages to ruin so many pizza deliveries at once. Sometimes, people see the Noid just trying to enjoy mundane activities that have their fun ruined by Domino's Pizza, somehow. If someone's delivering pizzas to the temple and it isn't the Noid himself, they better have a big tip for the deliveryman, since it's a lot of grief avoiding being blown up by a group of Noids attempting to destroy their pizza through various tricks and traps. |
| 433 | * Being an odd case of being an "anti-mascot" for Domino's, trying to sabotage the brand's product but failing, which indirectly promotes Domino's pizza in the process. While the Noid's antics may not sway every consumer (certainly not [[Pantheon/CritiqueAndParody The Nostalgia Critic]], who doesn't want to deal with either), the other brand mascots have varying opinions on the Noid. On one hand, fast-food mascots like Ronald [=McDonald=] and Colonel Sanders don't worry too much about the Noid given that their main dishes aren't pizza, but are wary of what the Noid will do to them if they expand to pizza delivery. As for Brand X, who is antagonistic toward other brand mascots, they managed to set up an interesting relationship with the Noid. They sometimes help the Noid ruin pizza deliveries from rival brands and sometimes other mascots standing in his way, figuring that the Noid's activities could further their agenda. That said, they haven't thought about what they'll do when they want to serve Brand X Pizza. |
| 434 | ** While a cereal mascot, The Trix Rabbit, who has endured much trouble trying to get Trix cereal for himself and failing, doesn't get why the Noid would go as far as to deny pizza to anyone but himself, and suspects some form of insanity in the gremlin's mind. Similarly, Takotoshi Hijiyama strongly despises the Noid's treatment of pizza, for even if the Noid hates pizza, he doesn't see it just to waste food so harshly. Given that he grew up in a time where food was scarce in his world, he's more deeply offended by the Noid's treatment of pizza to the point where he seeks to pummel the crazy Noid's face in if they ever meet. |
| 435 | * The Pantheon happened to already have a team of villains dedicated to sabotaging pizza deliveries, known as the League of Super Evil, who sometimes order pizza with the intent of deliberately giving the delivery service a miserable time, planning out nasty contraptions to stop them from a 30-minute delivery to the point pizza deliverymen have made counter-plans against them. Hearing about the Noid, the League of Super Evil decided to enlist the Noid for the purpose of gaining his help in troubling pizza deliverymen. Usually, their attempts end up failing anyways, especially if it's Domino's, but whenever they get close to succeeding, that was when their relationship got more tense. The Noid would sometimes ruin the pizza delivered to L.O.S.E. in the process, angering them because they sabotage pizza deliveries so they can eat it for free, while the Noid simply hates pizza in general, so it gets dicey when it comes to getting a good pizza delivered late. |
| 436 | * Crash Bandicoot has actually delivered pizzas for Domino's before, so inevitably, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wdvKaSxtjQ the Bandicoot and the Noid were bound to meet and become enemies.]] Whenever Crash ever gets asked to deliver pizza (and sometimes, even when he's not), the Noid will sometimes [[VideoGame/CrashOnTheRun attempt to ambush Crash and freeze him solid]], though it usually doesn't work out for the Noid. Dr. Neo Cortex would try to employ the Noid more often to stop his nemesis, but even ''he'' enjoys pizza enough to [[EvenEvilHasStandards find the Noid's hobbies sickening.]] Oddly enough, the Noid got along with the Iron Checkpoint Crate who also had a history of trying to stop Crash at around the same time, and the latter even managed to get the Noid interested in kart races. The Noid doesn't really mind since it would help him in his attempts to trouble other driving pizza deliverymen. |
| 437 | * In the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}}, The Noid is known for starring in a [[VideoGame/YoNoid game where the Noid saves the city and also pizzas]] while being opposed by an evil lookalike named Mr. Green, who was basically like the normal Noid [[ShapedLikeItself but green]]. [[VideoGame/YoNoid2EnterTheVoid There was some sort of sequel]] to that game where the Noid entered a void, continued to save pizzas, and had his mascot status being threatened by someone wanting to replace him. The Noid doesn't really embrace either of those games, just for one big reason: [[AdaptationalHeroism The Noid really isn't the type to be on the side of pizza lovers.]] The Noid refuses to acknowledge those two games because they not only got his overall purpose wrong, but utterly flipped it around. In fact, the Noid speculates that somehow, the developers confused the Noid and Mr. Green's roles and swapped their positions as protagonist and antagonist, with Mr. Green being what he considers some defective Noid that chose to save pizza instead of ruining it. |
| 438 | ** Additionally, Mona, who sometimes handles pizza delivery for Mona's Pizza, has been the target of the Noid by default, though her animal friends tend to make the Noid's job a lot harder. Having escaped the Noid's wrath multiple times, it eventually led up a point where Mona was delivering pizza to Wario, and when the delivery was given to Wario, the Noid's pursuit had ended, but not before Mona alerted Wario of the Noid, convincing Wario that the Noid needed a big, shoulder-sized warning, knocking the Noid into a nearby wall, which was painful for the Noid. Hopefully, the Noid won't have to deal with similar brutish people again. |
| 439 | * Some people had the creative idea of having the Roadrunner deliver pizzas due to his overall speed, which eventually managed to work after a decent amount of training, where much of it was making sure the Roadrunner wouldn't eat them either, and to take the payment money as well. As expected, Wile E. Coyote would attempt to intercept the Roadrunner, but this time with a bonus incentive of pizza. And of course, due to the Roadrunner's attempts at pizza delivery, the Noid also attempted to crush the Roadrunner and the pizzas being delivered, but failed to catch the Roadrunner as well. Both pursuers eventually met, and realizing their aptitude with absurd technology and devices for dealing with fast targets, they decided to work together from then on whenever the Roadrunner has to deal with a pizza delivery job. Neither have yet to actually succeed in stopping the Roadrunner's pizza deliveries, though. |
| 440 | * Hatsune Miku's concerts have also been the target of The Noid's sabotage despite many of them having nothing to do with pizza at all. Regardless of what The Noid tries however, the attempts always fail miserably and Hatsune Miku has yet to even realize that The Noid has something against her. Some deities have made wild speculation on why The Noid dislikes Hatsune Miku, and many fingers have been pointed at a particular collaboration between [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPuI4l0jK7s Domino's and Hatsune Miku in Japan]]. Some people even went on about how [[VideoGame/YoNoid2EnterTheVoid it also had to do with an attempt by someone named Hatsune Mike who wanted to replace the Noid as a mascot with "Vocal Noids"]]. But The Noid's enmity toward Hatsune Miku is really simply the fact that Miku happened to represent The Noid's most hated pizza brand at one point, and by that point already earned her place in The Noid's hate-list, not that it's even bothered her, or even hospitalized anyone besides The Noid himself. |
| 441 | * There's a particular tendency for heroes to either love pizza, or deliver it as a job of some sorts. Of course, given The Noid's hatred towards pizza, all of those heroes have another villain to add to their RoguesGallery. The likes of Spider-Man, the ''Jungle Fury'' Power Rangers, and the Samurai Pizza Cats, they were tired of more people getting in the way of their precarious pizza deliveries, and have learned to expect the Noid coming for them in their day-time jobs, and sometimes work together to find better ways to avoid the Noid. Both the Teen Titans and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles also have a love for pizza, and are appropriately distressed when they hear that The Noid has ruined their deliveries, resulting in some hot-headed heroes hunting for The Noid to show him how they feel about his work. Even getting caught in the receiving end of a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown by Michaelangelo (the 1997 version no less, [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness who isn't usually the type to get this personal]]) hasn't stopped The Noid from continuing his crusade against pizza. These heroes, along with the likes of Dante and [=S.A.T.8=], other fellow pizza-lovers, have been working together to find better ways to repel The Noid. |
| 442 | * Since the main shtick of the Noid is to ruin pizza deliveries, as angry as he may be if a pizza sabotage attempt fails, he doesn't really attempt to ruin the pizza after said delivery is completed, and instead leaves to find another pizza in the middle of delivery to ruin instead. There was one universe where The Noid happened to break this rule, and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BMoOhg3SmeM and it ended very badly for that Noid]]. Such an incident only gives the Noid more reason to keep following his usual rules even more, given that there are a heavy amount of deities would gladly do the same thing. As for the Adam West in the Pantheon, while he doesn't approve of the Noid's actions, he knows that if he goes after The Noid, dealing with the Noid's array of destructive technology and gadgets would be an overwhelming challenge for Adam West, so he doesn't try to pursue the Noid, but he is certainly watching out for when the Noid is on a rampage again. |
| 443 | * Spongebob and Squidward are sometimes sent by Mr. Krabs to deliver a Krusty Krab Pizza, and this time they remember to check if they have to bring drinks. However, it hasn't made their deliveries go more smoothly. Not only is Mr. Krabs too stingy to provide any automated vehicles for them (not that Spongebob can drive them anyway), but the Noid has been after the two whenever they're delivering pizza. Even being underwater won't stop the Noid from messing up pizza deliveries, and it has given Spongebob and Squidward a lot of trouble, though Squidward [[ButtMonkey ends up taking the brunt of the damage]]. What none of them know is that the Noid's pursuit of their pizza has been assisted by none other than Mr. Krabs' arch-nemesis, Plankton, who wants the Noid to crush the two deliverymen for the purpose of getting ahold of the Krusty Krab Pizza himself, obviously for getting some Krusty Krab formula out of it. Even if what he can get out of a Noid-ruined Krusty Krab Pizza wouldn't be enough to figure out the original Krabby Patty recipe itself, he'd be content with taking the Krusty Krab Pizza formula. |

| 461 | * Oswald has a rather unusual history for a cartoon character. He originally came to be before Mickey Mouse arrived and Oswald was, more or less, forgotten after Mickey became famous. Enough time passed and the Lucky Rabbit was originally jealous of Mickey's fame. [[VideoGame/EpicMickey In one of Mickey's adventures]], the Rabbit met the Mouse and eventually worked with him in the Wasteland, a place where forgotten Disney characters reside. Oswald was able to get enough mortal supporters for him at this point. Also, he has 420 children with his wife Ortensia, but don't ask for specifics on how they got so many kids ([[InterspeciesRomance especially considering that Ortensia is a cat]]). |
| 462 | ** Following his initial endeavor with Mickey, Oswald got a little more than annoyed that there were some who thought he would just outright antagonize Mickey after the rabbit looked through some [[WhatCouldHaveBeen old records]]. Oswald is only slightly less annoyed when others assume that [[MarthDebutedInSmashBros this adventure was his debut]] (as mentioned, it only made him more relevant). |
| 463 | * A little after his arrival in the Pantheon, Oswald noticed that there were deities hailing both from popular and obscure works. Since Oswald was originally not that well-known before gaining his fame, he has spent some time talking to lesser-known deities to give them support and hope that they don't languish in obscurity. |
| 464 | * Being a very early creation of Walt Disney, Oswald once asked Walt himself if he prefers the Lucky Rabbit or Mickey Mouse. Walt didn't really answer the question, but was quite pleased when he learned that both Oswald and Mickey are working together after the two cartoon stars overcame their differences. |
| 465 | * Finds it somewhat weird that he sounds [[Creator/FrankWelker similar]] to [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Fred Jones]]. Though he does get a little more annoyed if the vocal similarity extends to [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Megatron]] and would often say that [[EvilSoundsDeep Megatron sounds different]] and [[TheOtherDarrin inconsistent]]. |
| 466 | * Ortensia actually wasn't Oswald's first girlfriend back in the Lucky Rabbit's early days. Oswald had a LoveInterest named Francine Cottontail and they, weirdly enough, had several kids at first. Then he had [[TheCasanova a few other love interests prior to Ortensia]], but once he met her, the Lucky Rabbit has stuck with Ortensia. |
| 467 | * [[IronicNickname Despite his moniker, Oswald's luck usually isn't the best]]. It has become a source of mockery by a number of jerkish deities. The rabbit has some sort of resentment towards Gladstone Gander for being ridiculously lucky by default, though the duck doesn't acknowledge the resentment most of the time. |
| 468 | ** Speaking of luck, much of the rabbit's luck comes from [[LuckyRabbitsFoot his detachable foot]]. It's become a source of interest for many deities, particularly those who are normally unlucky. Sometimes, others would just take the foot away from him just to mess with him. |
| 469 | *** And on top of all these luck-related shenanigans, he has been made an unofficial mascot of the House of Pantheon/LuckAndFortune, likely due to his varying luck. Oswald isn't sure what to make of it, but he keeps a rather professional relation with Bugs Bunny at that house. |
| 470 | * He sometimes carries a [[ShockAndAwe remote control]] with him in case he is confronted with weaker enemies. It more or less functions the same as Mickey's paintbrush, only the remote doesn't spew paint out. |
| 471 | * Probably the only rabbit in the Pantheon which [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail The Rabbit of Caerbannog]] doesn't really care about. Oswald himself doesn't have much to say about that rabbit's superior, Tewi Inaba, though they do keep in touch every now and then. |
| 472 | * Oswald likes to hang around with the other benevolent rabbits, as well as those associated with them, and those who just simply like rabbits in general. In particular, he has a strong friendship with Usalia given their experience in ruling over a peaceful realm. |
| 473 | ** Like all the other rabbits, Oswald is highly wary of Springtrap. Given the animatronic's [[SerialKiller back]][[WouldHurtAChild ground]], the Lucky Rabbit is making more of an effort to make sure his children doesn't get harmed or near the killer. |
| 474 | * Oswald doesn't like mad scientists such as Dr. Wily and Eggman since their penchant for evil machinery remind him of The Mad Doctor. He's even more annoyed at the fact that the two even had different plans at different points in time that involved feigning redemption, akin to the Mad Doctor's second attempt at conquest (neither plan from Wily nor Eggman had any songs in them, though). |
| 475 | * It's worth noting that Oswald at least thought that the Mad Doctor genuinely reformed at the start of Mickey and Oswald's second adventure together ([[spoiler:and they may or may not have redeemed the Doctor at the end of it]]). Regardless, if there is a villain who has done multiple attempts to enact an evil plan by claiming that they reformed themselves, chances are Oswald would ask for Mickey's help to investigate it. |
| 476 | ** In regards to that, Oswald doesn't like The Joker given that the clown had pulled off similar stunts before. His craziness and penchant for chaos on a level Oswald hadn't heard of before earned further scorn from the rabbit. |
| 477 | * [[WhatCouldHaveBeen Strangely enough, Oswald was once considered to be a participant in Vanellope Von Schweetz's Sugar Rush races, but plans fell through]]. The two like to talk to each other on occasion, though it's not clear if these conversations involve the rabbit being a proper contestant in the races. At the very least, Oswald would sometimes watch these particular races in his spare time. |
| 478 | * ''Doesn't everybody deserve a second chance?'' |

| 495 | * Pepsiman is the living embodiment of Pepsi, bringing all the thirsty people the refreshing and tasty drink that is Pepsi. He arrived one day where the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} was a having a shortage of drinks, quickly arriving and using his signature powers to fill the house with Pepsi. Before he got the chance to leave, he tripped over and ended up accidentally destroying half of the House he was in. The court of Gods later allowed him to have his own temple to keep doing his job in the pantheon. |
| 496 | * By default he is considered a superhero, even if he doesn't do much crimefighting. He is more or less a delivery boy (Or Super Delivery Boy if you will) of Pepsi, but even then, he seems to be on good terms with the House of Pantheon/{{Heroism}} and he did help the authorities of his world a few times (At least for Pepsi related things that is). |
| 497 | * Pepsiman's claim to fame comes from his [[Videogame/{{Pepsiman}} videogame]], which is a source of his constant AmusingInjuries and bizarre hijinks he gets involved with. The other most notable from said game is the live action segments featuring an unknown man with a Pepsi addiction, said footage make some people believe it comes from a SnuffFilm. |
| 498 | * It's obvious that Pepsiman is not fond of his parent company's biggest competitor, Coca-Cola. In fact, whenever someone brings up the Pepsi Invaders/Coke Wins game, he gets very mad. |
| 499 | * He doesn't pay too much attention to other competitors outside of Coca-Cola, but one in particular has been bothered by his ascension and that's none other than the CEO of Joja Corporation, Morris. He is pissed that with Pepsiman's sudden arrival, his products have been getting less and less attention (besides obviously many people knowing they are terrible) and instead prefer to seek Pepsiman for a more refreshing drink. |
| 500 | * A former follower of Segata Sanshiro given their shared over the top advertisements and (surprisingly for Pepsiman) being from Japanese origins. Segata himself welcomed Pepsiman to his temple, but he was initially upset that his main game was on the Playstation. Before Segata tried to beat him up, as he usually does, he did mention the time he appeared as a GuestFighter in Videogame/FightingVipers, a Sega Saturn game, which was a Sega Saturn game and so Segata spared him. |
| 501 | ** However, Pepsiman insisted that [[IronButtMonkey he did the beating anyway, since it would make a good, amusing advertising regardless]]. And thus the advertisement went like Segata Sanshiro beating the crap out of Pepsiman before being told about his guest starring, in which Segata apologized and the two drank Pepsi together. |
| 502 | * There have been a few deities that are familiar with the Pepsiman videogame, like Protonjon for example. However, one particular deity that stood out for Pepsiman was Jontron, who mistakenly assumed his game didn't have any music, ignoring the trademark theme song that is characteristhic of Pepsiman or that he believes that because his world is very centered in Pepsi that maybe there is a hidden conspiracy pulling the strings from the shadows. |
| 503 | ** There was also Vinny from Vinesauce, who did manage to beat his game but also tried to corrupt it, but arguably had a hard time doing so. Initially he had a conflicting opinion on him but because he let it slide after he heard he finished the game for real. |
| 504 | * Some people are a bit unneverd about Pepsiman's [[TheBlank lack of features]] besides his mouth that he tends to open when using his powers, which doesn't help much. |
| 505 | * Can also be found at Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes. |
| 506 | * As of 2019, [[spoiler:there's an evil [[AlternateSelf alternate version]] of him that's pretty much the opposite of what the ascended version stands for, who forced the Angry Video Game Nerd to review the [[VideoGame/{{Pepsiman}} video game adaptation]] of his exploits and plotted to transform the entire world into Pepsi. This one was defeated by the Nerd with the help of the "TV-Game Guy" from the game's {{Engrish}}-laden FMV cutscenes. Thanks to this traumatic experience, the Nerd refuses to drink Pepsi, much less allow Pepsiman anywhere near him]]. |

| 530 | * With his [[FanCommunityNicknames army of nine year-olds]], Felix stormed the Pantheon riding a [[AnimalStampede countless amount of pigs]]. After [[HappilyMarried getting married]], [[MilestoneCelebration reaching a hundred million subscribers]], and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking killing the Ender Dragon]], Pewds finally believe it was his time to accept his ascension too godhood thanks to his achievements... only to find multiple fellow content creators have ascended before him. [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere He almost went back down to the mortal plane]] until he was yanked back to at least hold his title status. With no choice, he stayed. |
| 531 | * Felix who comes from Sweden became the most popular [=YouTuber=] on the planet and has continued to grow in popularity since. He has changed over the years, from gaming to professional work then back to gaming again by the time of his ascension. Regardless if one supports him or not, his impact on TheInternet is not to be understated. He could have ascended to become Greater God but declined, saying [[AGodIAmNot he didn’t want that kind of power over people]]. He even asked the Court of the Gods to rank him down as Lesser just like his fellow [=YouTubers=] which they obliged. |
| 532 | * The reason for his given title was thanks to the Great Subscriber War with UsefulNotes/{{Bollywood}} production company Creator/TSeries, who’s followers are the Indian populace. They duked it out on whoever could have the most subscribers, international interest on who would win was at an all time high. Though he and his followers put up a good fight, Felix decided to end the war due to not wanting it to get out of hand. [[BittersweetEnding Managed to win in the long run due to being the first single content creator to have a hundred million subscribers and gaining positive support which he had never seen for a long time]]. |
| 533 | * Despite being quite beloved, [[OvershadowedByControversy he isn’t seen as fondly with media sources thanks to his popularity]] (his biggest era of being put under media scrutiny is when he dyed his hair). Decided to start his own news channel named Pew News as a response. Filled with the [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial most unbiased reporters out there]], they report on the happenings in the online space. [[KillAndReplace Many of the newscasters seem to disappear before being replaced by the next one]]. J. Jonah Jameson despises him for sullying the name of reporting, despite [[StrawmanNewsMedia being quite a biased reporter himself]]. Stopped Pew News as of now due to the belief he was [[ColbertBump spreading misinformation by giving attention to the issues]] and wanted to put a stop to them even if it was only repeating information covered by others. |
| 534 | * He loves TheInternet and he would not be where he is without it. However, he gripes with it stems from social media where he wholeheartedly believes SocialMediaIsBad. He thinks that it is such an easy channel for people to make “dumbass statements” and somehow get praised for doing it. He deleted his social media accounts for those very reasons since the space was extremely toxic. He asked Lain Iawakura to moderate such places if she can but refused, as she sees the internet as a place for many the good and the bad and it should be expressed adequately. An admirable position that Pewds accepts but laments on how bad human communication is deteriorating. |
| 535 | * He was quite shocked to find out many of the characters in games he enjoys were in the Pantheon. Befriended as many as he could feeling he just had to. Also managed to meet many enemies who he had been plagued by in the games he has played. Declared war against them for [[GoddamnedBats their actions against him]]. He hates being reminded of the times when he screamed thanks to a JumpScare and views his LetsPlay years mostly as an OldShame even if it did define his identity for many. |
| 536 | * Has a rather love-hate relationship with Pyrocynical, who repeatedly given jabs to him before. Quickity as well since he tried killing him and [[https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCucot-Zp428OwkyRm2I7v2Q James Charles]]. They don’t hate each other and more or less have a SitcomArchNemesis relationship with one another. Pyro is the one who interacts with him more while Quackity mostly stays by the sidelines, plotting to raid online children's games. |
| 537 | * Yuuki Terumi was once of of the [[{{Troll}} primary spammers of Pewds’ comment section]] until the comments were moderated to make sure people like he doesn’t come in. Terumi has tried going for his other media accounts but to no success. Still tries breaking in now and again only to get his account banned for constantly harassment. |
| 538 | * Kinda freaked out when seeing the Doki Doki Literature Club and tries his best to make them happy. All of them appreciated the gesture but they’re kinda embarrassed by his presence. Not like they’ll all just drop dead the moment they feel sad. |
| 539 | -->'''Felix''': They were like fathers to me. I loved them like my sons... |
| 540 | * [[ArchEnemy Hates barrels with a passion]]. [[VideoGame/PewDiePieLegendOfTheBrofist Fought off the King of Barrels who had kidnapped all of his followers and imprisoned them on the moon that one time]]. So it really pisses him off when Donkey Kong comes in chucking barrels everywhere. then he realized that the [[NiceJobFixingItVillain gorilla is actually breaking barrels at the same time]], so it’s a win for himself. |
| 541 | * The House of Memes have a very mixed relationship with him. His Meme Reviews have [[ColbertBump popularized countless memes]]... [[ItsPopularNowItSucks then kill them off once normies get their hands on them]]. It’s a cycle that won’t seem to stop anytime soon, something even Felix notes. Since internet memes are essentially jokes waiting to die, he doesn’t think of it much. |
| 542 | * Has a rather strained relationship with [=YouTube=] administrative as previously stated. He loves his job but doesn’t enjoy the amount of ExecutiveMeddling he and others have to receive. Despite these issues, Felix will genuinely appreciate them when they actually do something positive for him and the community. [[TakeThat He still takes many potshots at the corporation that made him famous either way]]. The Phantom Thieves pity him and other [=YouTubers=] for having to deal woth corrupted shit all the time. |
| 543 | * Apu dislikes him, [[LateToTheRealization still thinking that the Great Subscriber War is still going on]]. Johnny Bravo is outright offended since [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff he himself is quite popular in India]] and Pewds mocked Bollywood, basically acting like a middle finger to his fans. It is nit like Felix minds such hatred though, being used to vitriol thrown against him. Plus, he more or less fired the first shots so he has no right he feels to complain about it. |
| 544 | * His High Priest got the position after a Pewds [[ColbertBump mentioned Jack pre-popularity, skyrocketing his follower count]]. While both would say that mention isn’t the sole reason Jack became popular, it did help a lot regardless. His other friends were also candidates but Jack insisted. |
| 545 | ** Sans and Papyrus [[VideoGame/TheBOSSAJacksepticeyeFanGame have met Jack before]]. They are collaborating with Pewds to have Jack ascended after the events where Jack fought off his LiteralSplitPersonality. Pewds just thinks so much content made on his fellow web personalities is a good show of faith by the fans but a bit disturbed by what are expected characterization of friends from those who do not know them in real life. |
| 546 | * Thanos doesn’t like [=PewDiePie=] thanks to being a massive contributing factor of making the conqueror [[NightmareRetardant a bit of a joke now]]. Pewds doesn’t care, he’ll keep the memes going as long as he could and criticize the [[Franchise/MarvelCinematicuniverse MCU]] for making [[FollowTheLeader everyone try to make a cinematic universe to the point of oversaturation]]. |
| 547 | * [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HGpT7blcQek Tried finding out who members of the Illuminati were]] and tried [[https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=0J836Uqs_o4&t “exposing” a few of its members]]. [[MagnificentBastard Unless he himself is a member then all of his viewers were clowned upon]]. |
| 548 | * When ever he believes he’s doing something intelligent, he yells, “[[MyBrainIsBig BIG BRAIN!]]” Most of the time, it really isn’t that impressive of a feat he had just done. |
| 549 | * Leaves the Pantheon now and again to spend time with his friends and family. Is trying to get his wife and his pets ascended, not wanting them to feel left out. Felix still extremely regrets the time when he the paparazzi made him ditch his wife during the ''Film/EndersGame'' premiere. |
| 550 | * Thought Markiplier ascended until he found out it was an incredible [[IdenticalStranger similar-looking person]] named Maes Hughes. Felix befriended the guy nonetheless and has pulled pranks by making people think he was the person originally mistaken. Also trying to have Mark ascended as well. |
| 551 | * [[ForgottenFallenFriend Never mentions the golden statue Stephano that much anymore]]. Some say he’s [[VideoGame/CryOfFear locked in a room somewhere, abandoned for all eternity]]. |
| 552 | * Made friends with Pinkie Pie after she threw a party for him, celebrating his one hundred million subscriber count. Not that he’s [[PeripheryDemographic a Brony]] [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial or anything like that]]. |
| 553 | * Goes to the House of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture to pray to [[AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence Water Sheep]]. He begs that Water Sheep protect his pets that keep dying off. And also keep his [[BreedingSlave frick chamber]] safe from threats. Water Sheep's council does warn him on impending threats [[CrypticallyUnhelpfulAnswer in a very cryptic manner]], which he doesn’t catch on [[YouAreTooLate before it is too late]]. |

| 574 | * Afraid of: [[Pantheon/{{Food}} Mello]], [[Pantheon/TheatricPerformers Uncle Howee]], '''[[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances Morpho Knight]]''' |
| 575 | * Mixed Opinion by: [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Benson]] |
| 576 | * [=SpongeBob=] ascended after his [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobMovieSpongeOutOfWater second movie]] was released for a generally positive reception from critics and fans alike as well as outgrossing the [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie first movie]], showing that his franchise was still going strong. His best pal, Patrick Star, ascended alongside him for being, well, his FatBestFriend. |
| 577 | ** In fact, [=SpongeBob=] had the chance to ascend even earlier as the God of [[BurgerFool Hamburgers]] after beating King Neptune in a cooking duel, but refused once he was told that he couldn't bring his best friend Patrick with him at the time. |
| 578 | * [=SpongeBob=] is well-acquainted with all the deities originated from the Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} universe. In fact, he is even seen as a sort of leader by them, despite the presence of powerhouses like avatars [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Aang]] and [[WesternAnimation/TheLegendOfKorra Korra]]. This might because of all the [[AdoredByTheNetwork attention he receives]] in their own universe. |
| 579 | * Dog from WesternAnimation/CatDog is particularly loyal to him, probably because [[Creator/TomKenny they sound similar]]. |
| 580 | ** [=SpongeBob=]'s own voice has also allowed him to form {{Odd Friendship}}s with Franchise/SpyroTheDragon and [[WesternAnimation/AdventureTime The Ice King]]. It's not every day that people see a talking, cheerful sponge befriend a little, cocky dragon and an insane, old wizard. |
| 581 | ** However, [=SpongeBob=] appears to be scared of [[Series/TheHauntingHour Uncle Howee]], who he finds too creepy even for him. Even stranger is that [=SpongeBob=] thinks Howee looks a lot like his #1 fan Patchy The Pirate, which makes things even creepier for him. |
| 582 | * [=SpongeBob=] has tried to befriend every cephalopod deity in the Pantheon with mixed results. VideoGame/{{Octodad}} reminds him of his old "pal" Squidward and they seem to get along nicely, [[VideoGame/{{Splatoon}} The Inklings]] think he is fresh enough thanks to being "pals" with this Squidward figure that keeps popping up on street art in their world, [[Manga/SquidGirl Ika Musume]] likes him on virtue of him being a sea creature in the first place. [=SpongeBob=] also received a magic conch shell fossil as a gift from [[Pantheon/PrehistoricBeasts Omastar]], using it frequently to tell him what he can do or not and occasionally worshipping it as a greater deity called "[[WebVideo/TwitchPlaysPokemonRed Lord Helix]]". |
| 583 | ** The more malevolent cephalopods are not very fond of [=SpongeBob=] though. [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Blooper]] dislikes sponges [[VideoGame/PaperMarioStickerStar as one was once used to defeat its superior]], Gooper Blooper. [[Franchise/CthulhuMythos Cthulhu]] doesn't appear to scary him at all, and his presence annoys the ancient God. The Kraken once tried to eat [=SpongeBob=], [[TooSpicyForYogSothoth but spat him out]] for being talkatively obnoxious while inside its stomach. Ursula was busy preparing a new magic potion, but [=SpongeBob=]'s well-intentioned [[TheDitz ditziness]] made Ursula screw up the recipe and have it all backfire on her, causing her to send her eel henchmen, Flotsam & Jetsam, after [=SpongeBob=]. |
| 584 | ** The worst would be his relationship with [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Davy Jones]]. It all started when [=SpongeBob=] came to the legendary pirate in order to return all the dirty gym socks that were left inside Jones' locker, which ended up with Patrick accidentally showering the pirate with them. Davy Jones swore revenge at both [=SpongeBob=] and Patrick for that. |
| 585 | * He is a big fan of ComicBook/{{Aquaman}} (Arthur Curry), although the Atlantian is a bit confused on why [=SpongeBob=] keeps referring to him as "Mermaid Man". |
| 586 | ** He and Patrick once tried to befriend [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Kingdra]], Aquaman's partner, in order to ride her around. After several attempts and Dragon Pulses to the face, they eventually succeeded. |
| 587 | * Sometimes, [=SpongeBob=] joins [[Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture Ariel]] in spontaneous musical numbers at the House of Music. The numbers are usually a hit or a miss as [=SpongeBob=] tends to vary between being an amazing singer or an atrocious one. |
| 588 | * Oddly enough, despite being a confirmed asexual (never mind about him having an actual gender in the first place. The House of Knowledge is still conducting studies about this), [=SpongeBob=] has a curious attraction for the fishman known as [[VideoGame/{{Darkstalkers}} Rikuo]], as such, he sometimes tries to act as a sort of manservant, competing with Patrick. |
| 589 | * While strolling around the Pantheon one day, he eventually had a RandomEncounter against [[VideoGame/{{Undertale}} Undyne]], who challenged him to a duel. Unfortunately for [=SpongeBob=], it was one of those days where he could [[StrongAsTheyNeedToBe barely lift a teacup]], so he stood no chance against her. He did, however, challenge her to a rematch, which she accepted. As such, [=SpongeBob=] is now training every day by practicing his karate at the House of Combat and working his muscle mass by lifting plushies. |
| 590 | * He and Patrick tend to get along with [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Steven]] really well, usually dragging him along on for some fun, reckless antics, much to [[WesternAnimation/StevenUniverse Pearl's]] chagrin. |
| 591 | ** Things didn't get better when [=SpongeBob=] casually mentioned that Pearl reminded him of his whale friend who also shares the name "Pearl". |
| 592 | * [=SpongeBob=], being a lover of karate, has found a sparring partner in [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Makoto Nanaya]] at the House of Combat. He thinks Makoto resembles a lot his squirrel friend Sandy Cheeks, except for the lack of an astronaut suit. |
| 593 | ** Through Makoto, [=SpongeBob=] has also met Doreen Green, a.k.a ComicBook/SquirrelGirl, who claims that she does know his friend Sandy, having summoned her and several members of her family once in order to defeat Doctor Doom (again). |
| 594 | ** The [[VideoGame/TeamFortress2 Engineer]] also claims to have met a super smart, karate squirrel back in Texas, although he admits it could have been a hallucination caused by him accidentally ingesting a piece of peyote cactus. |
| 595 | * [=SpongeBob=] is works at the House of Food under [[WesternAnimation/BobsBurgers Bob Belcher]], who thinks the sponge is a talented fry cook, albeit a bit too eccentric. |
| 596 | ** He also has a side job selling chocolate bars to deities around the Pantheon alongside his best friend Patrick. Needless to say, they had some trouble [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Rfiq_cwYf4 when they tried to sell some to the more...unstable members of the Pantheon. Mainly those with an ''unhealthy'' desire for chocolate. |
| 597 | ** Being the workaholic he is, he also has another side job restoring certain parts of the Pantheon, working alongside [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Mordecai and Rigby]] and under [[WesternAnimation/RegularShow Benson]]. The gumball machine admires the sponge's dedication to his job (unlike a certain blue jay and raccoon), although he often gets annoyed by [=SpongeBob=]'s more childish traits and occasional clumsiness. [=SpongeBob=] himself loves working with Mordecai and Rigby, even though the latter two barely do any work at all. |
| 598 | * [=SpongeBob=] once made a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-Q8Vhk5Qjc hilarious Light Yagami impression]] during a skit at the House of Theater, which everybody loved, except [[Manga/DeathNote Light]] himself of course, who was not amused at being mocked by a talking sponge. |
| 599 | * [=SpongeBob=] sometimes gets into debates with other mascots about who has the most popular and profitable franchise, although those tend to get nowhere. |
| 600 | * [=SpongeBob=] has an almost paralyzing fear of the Butterfly of Paradise known as Morpho Knight. The reasons for this are twofold. Firstly, the Butterfly looks hauntingly similar to "the monster" that ate his "late" friend Wormy and "terrorized" Bikini Bottom. Secondly, the Butterfly is a [[TheGrimReaper harvester of souls]], specifically the souls of people who have died but come back or have moved past the point when they should have died, and [=SpongeBob=] has suffered a DisneyDeath before and come back... |

| 620 | * While he was flattered that Wesker would parody him, being a good man he is, he is not amused with Wesker's evil acts and, in a deadpan tone, wishes that Old Uroboros wouldn't sell. |
| 621 | * One of his followers revealed a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hF0zP4ukkKg parody of his commercial starring]] [[{{Pantheon/MagicAndSorcery Madoka]]. She chuckled after watching it. Her friends had different reactions, though. [[{{Pantheon/Tics}} Kyoko]] laughed raucously at the ridiculousness. [[Pantheon/DeathArchetypes Mami]] smiled at its silliness. [[Pantheon/WritingTechniques Sayaka]] and [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Homura]] ''agreed'' that it was insulting to Madoka as it also promoted Kyubey. The Incubator was amused and hoped to use this to lure girls into making Contracts but was…forcibly prevented. [[Pantheon/CharacterRoles Charlotte]]…turned away in shame, as cake was why she ended up a Witch in the first place. |
| 622 | * It's rumored by some that he is actually an Overdeity hiding his true power. The Old Spice Man has laughed at the idea and denied it -- it's just that his manly scent is so overpowering to even the greatest gods of the Pantheon that it distorts their view of his other abilities. |
| 623 | * There's actually another Old Spice Man in existence, a [[NoIndoorVoice constantly-shouting]] bald muscleman who loves showing off his muscles and yelling mostly about '''"POWEEEEERRRR!!!!"''' (unrelated to one of Emperor Palpatine's more infamous moments). Both the ascended Old Spice Man and this man have been seen in the same space, often engaged in contests of one-upmanship, and might be debating who should get to sit on the throne...or whether they should share. |
| 624 | ** At least, until that man decided to occupy another spot with a suitable trope so they can continue their rivalry in the Pantheon proper. |

| 650 | * Rival: Segata Sanshiro |
| 651 | * The small and charming gecko one day appeares and challenges Segata Sanshiro for his position. The Pantheon as a whole favors the gecko with the reasoning that Sanshiro only appeared for one year while the gecko has appeared for [[BreakoutCharacter much, much]], ''[[LongRunner much]]'' longer and more numerous commercials than him and thus give the former the position while Sanshiro was given a new position of AbusiveAdvertising. |
| 652 | ** Sanshiro was NOT happy with losing his position. He tried to get back at the gecko by trying to step on it when the latter was still mortal, which the gecko retaliates by trying to bite any body parts of Sanshiro he is able to reach. Fortunately, the Pantheon was able to intervene before any serious damage was done. The two have been rivals ever since. |
| 653 | * A representative of the GEICO auto-mobile and homeowners insurance, the gecko has extensive relationship with many homeowners and the House of Travel in the Pantheon. |
| 654 | ** However, his position as representative of an insurance company has earned him the ire of the House of Ruins and Destruction as well as the House of Crime since, according to them, he and his company "took out the joy of destroying properties". |
| 655 | * Dissociates himself with the House of Reptiles since he thinks many of them are too destructive and is bad for his reputation. The only one he is willing to talk to is the TMNT, even though he is sometimes confused by their lifestyle. |
| 656 | * He is one surprisingly good terms with most superheroes since the superheroes job creating a lot of need for HeroInsurance paid for by their world's government, something which he is happy to provide. The fact that [[Creator/KelseyGrammer he sounds like one]] is just a bonus. |
| 657 | * Because the gecko represent the GEICO company as a whole, the gecko has many different heralds from his company in order to run the temple for him when he is busy making a new commercial. These heralds has made him many allies in the Pantheon. Most notably Babe, a friend of Maxwell the Pig and Fred Flintstone, whose followers is the GEICO cavemen. |
| 658 | * He has an extensive network of connection with many fairy tales characters since his company put out quite a few ads that parody classical fairy tales. Of notes is his friendship with Princess Aurora since he pities her being cursed and unable to wake up unlike the Sleeping Beauty of his world while being wary of Bigby Wolf since the guy blew down an entire house in his warpath. |
| 659 | * Has nothing but disgust for Sideshow Bob because of Bob's destructive behavior, threatening children and [[Creator/KelseyGrammer voice that sounds similar to him]]. |
| 660 | * Form a solid relationship with the Blorg race after the aliens mistook him [[http://www.stellariswiki.com/images/9/9e/Reptilian_16.png for another ally aliens]]. The gecko is interested in their culture and selling spaceship insurance for them while the Blorg have an interesting specimen to study. |
| 661 | * Grows to dislike Wile E. Coyote and Roadrunner because of their destructive tendency [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDey72Bw__s after an encounter with the two of them]]. |
| 662 | * Most people who visit his temples are unnerved when encounter Kash standing in a corner and just staring at them while wearing a paper note that said "This is the money you could have saved with GEICO".

| 675 | * Enemies: Anyone who does not let him have a bowl of Trix and taunts him while doing so, [[Pantheon/{{Sports}} Calvin]], [[Pantheon/VillainousAppearances The Trix]], all members of the Pantheon/GUAETrollkaiger |
| 676 | * The gods noticed one day that there was no one occupying the CerealViceReward trope. They also noticed a surprising lack of Trix cereal and yogurt at the House of Food. When they investigated the cause, they found that this rabbit had stolen it all. He was eventually forced to give it all back, but some gods took pity on him after learning that he was constantly bullied by children from his world who never let him have Trix, even after he bought some with his own money, and so they gave him his own temple. |
| 677 | * The Rabbit can often be found trying to steal Trix from people. Sometimes the gods are nice and let him do so, but sometimes they aren't and stop his attempt and taunt him by saying, "Silly Rabbit, Trix are for gods!" |
| 678 | * Every year there is an election in the US, the gods allow the Rabbit to eat a bowl of Trix unimpeded. They have scrapped having votes because it's clear that the Rabbit would always get an overwhelmingly high Yes vote. |
| 679 | ** On some days, though, the GUAE has the members of the Trollkaiger steal it anyway and make him look even more pathetic. When this happens, he usually spends the rest of the day sulking in his temple, refusing to speak to anyone. Some gods asked him if he would like to punish the Trollkaiger for messing with him, but he replied that he was not a violent rabbit. |
| 680 | * Some gods have suggested [[JustEatGilligan letting the Rabbit buy his own Trix from the House of Food]]. The Rabbit replied that he didn't think that was any fun or sneaky, and he likes being both. However, it should be worth noting that at one point he ''did'' by his own Trix, [[KidsAreCruel but the kids stole it anyway]]. |
| 681 | * In another sick event while he was mortal, the Rabbit did actually buy some Trix on his own.... [[Advertising/GotMilk But his milk carton was empty]]. He has since made certain to buy milk to go along with any Trix he gets. He gets it from Miltank, who doesn't mind helping after hearing how badly he was treated while he was mortal. |
| 682 | ** When the Nostalgia Critic was looking through commercials to review one day, he saw that paticular incident. Viewing the people who made it as bad as the kids who constantly tormented the Rabbit while he was mortal, he decided to help the Rabbit get Trix whenever he could. |
| 683 | * It was discovered that once the Rabbit got Bugs' help to try to steal some Trix, but even this was not enough to actually get a bowl. Still, he remains on good terms with Bugs. |
| 684 | * Once, when Calvin was eating some Trix, the Rabbit tried to steal it from him. He wasn't successful, and was humiliated thoroughly after being forced to play Calvinball and finding it extremely confusing. The Rabbit still isn't over that. |
| 685 | * After hearing that there were a god known as the Trix, the Rabbit tried to go over and see if they were the cereal. However, Icy, Stormy, and Darcy were none too pleased with the Rabbit, viewing him as an oddball. The Rabbit ended up being blasted by magic and forced to retreat, later making sure to stay well away from their temple. |
| 686 | * The Rabbit has often tried to get Wile E. Coyote to help him with his schemes to steal Trix, but, unfortunately, Wile. E's reputation for failure proceeds him and things just get worse whenever he does. Notably, the Rabbit insists that he cannot eat Trix if it is blown up, but Wile. E still insists on using explosives. |
