Greater Gods

    Android 16 
Android 16, God of Bruisers with Soft Centers (Artificial Human #16, C-16, The Red-Headed Step-Child, Goku's Assassin [formerly])
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/android_16_dbfz.png
  • Greater God
  • Symbol: A red Capsule Corps logo
  • Theme Music: Android 16, Battle Stage 7, Sturdy Body*
  • Alignment: Neutral Good (used to be True Neutral)
  • Portfolio: Fully Mechanical yet treated like a human being, Killing machines who grew a heart, Modelled After Dr. Gero's Son, The Quiet One, Badass Android, Super Prototype, Kind-hearted colossus that was Too Good for This Sinful Earth, Can never be revived by the Dragon Balls EVER
  • Domains: Robotics, Fighting, Animals
  • Allies:
  • Conflicted about: Vegeta, Yveltal
  • Enemies: Cell, Fused Zamasu, Dr. Weil, Omega, Eobard Thawne/The Reverse-Flash, Nekron, every single Omnicidal Maniac in the Pantheon, and also Bender Rodriguez
  • Special Relationship with: Dr. Gero (his template's father)
  • On speaking terms with: Eric Cartman
  • Supports: Ajani Goldmane
  • Android 16 was one of the last fully-metallic androids Dr. Gero developed to kill Son Goku, however, he had a "terrible defect" and put him in stasis. Out of a whim, Androids 17 and 18 opened his capsule and took him along on their journey to destroy Goku. When Prince Vegeta interrupted them and challenged them to a fight, however, 16 refused to get involved and was more interested in gazing at and interacting with surrounding birds than the battle that would ensue. The "defect", it turned out, was that 16 was a Friend to All Living Things... except Goku. 16's non-combatant stance would continue until the monster Cell emerged and nearly absorbed 17. 16, calculating that he was just as strong as Cell, stepped up to the bio-Android, pushed aside his programming to join the Dragon Team against this threat to all of life. Tragically, 17's overconfidence led him to be absorbed anyway, leading 16 to be knocked silly by a much stronger Semi-Perfect Cell. Later during the Cell Games, his head got knocked off his body, got Mr. Satan to throw him to Son Gohan, spoke words of encouragement to Gohan, only to be crushed underfoot by Mr. Perfect Cell. This ironically was 16's greatest contribution to saving the Earth, as it was Gohan's Rage Breaking Point into going Super Saiyan 2.
    • He was unable to be included in any wish to revive fallen victims with the Dragon Balls because he was never truly "living" as it were. Thankfully, there were members of the Pantheon who managed to rebuild him, and ever since he's been with the Pantheon. Gohan and Krillin were overjoyed at discovering 16 was alive again in the Pantheon, with the former introducing him to his new brother, wife and daughter and the latter breaking the news about his marriage and new family with 18. 16 was proud to see Gohan get so strong and spends time playing with baby Pan whenever she visits the Pantheon. Despite being a full-fledged warrior for good now, 16 still has issues with Vegeta for allowing Cell to reach his perfect form. He's also unsure that it's safe for him to approach Son Goku; though he's been told by the ones that rebuilt him that his kill-Goku programming has been removed, he doesn't quite trust that they got all of it out. He doesn't discuss the matter of that programming with the others much, as it's too awkward to bring up now.
  • It is believed that a version of him exists in Future Trunks' timeline. It hasn't been confirmed, but in one version of Trunks' world he was re-activated. The two joined an inter-dimensional tournament, though Android 16 didn't get past the first round. In addition, he and the T-800 have noted they share a lot of similarities, and as such get along well. Android 16 is not the only creation similar to the Terminator; Major Metallitron was a lot more blatant about it though. Shortly after Sailor Pluto had re-ascended and became an ally to Trunks in his time patrol job, 16 stepped up to protect and assist the Soldier of Space-Time as a way of returning the favor to Trunks. One of these trips saw 16 hold off Reverse-Flash until The Flash could get there to stop him. This has also earned him the favor of Sailors Chibi Moon and Saturn.
  • Evidence has revealed that far from his pacifism being a defect, it was an intentional design choice; Doctor Gero modelled him after his deceased son Gevo, and gave him a kind heart as to not be destroyed. Tragically, he would die anyway by his template's father's masterpiece. Cell has teased him about this, calling him "the red-headed step-child". Cell promptly was punched so hard in the face he had to regenerate. Because of how he came to be, he's made good friends with Astro Boy and Zero. They can relate to being a Replacement Goldfish and the good robot of a Mad Scientist respectively. Through Zero, he was also introduced to Fighting Fefnir, a fellow pro-nature combat robot with lots of firepower. They get along pretty well and can be seen regularly sparring together.
  • Gets along well with animals, and since reuniting with Androids 17 and 18 in the Pantheon he spends a lot of his time helping out 17 in his new job as a park ranger. His favorite House in the Beastiary is birds, especially Lugia and Ho-oh. He doesn't know what to think of Yveltal however, finding it "terrifying". Has made a friend of Philip J. Fry, bonding over their love of animals. This pisses off Bender royally, who wants to kill 16 for "stealing" Fry's attention. Hilarity did ensue. 18 occasionally visits him in his temple as well. They get along fairly well, as she's able to relax more around her mechanical brother-in-arms.
  • In 16's eyes, all life is sacred. The exception, however, is those that seek to destroy all life. To him, they have forfeited the right to live. This is especially the case with Cell, whose evil nature led to 16's death and the near-destruction of the solar system. Having a second chance of life in the Pantheon, he has taken up the fight against the Grand United Alliance of Destruction. He's been an unexpected help, as Nekron and his Black Lanterns are unable to sense machines. He also despises Omega for being even more psychopathic than the infamous Bio-Android. There's no love for his creator Dr. Weil either, who 16 considers a bigger monster than his own creator. Weil takes this in stride.
  • Upon seeing the ginger robot for the first time, Eric Cartman suffered a laughing fit that carried on for what seemed like hours. 16 wanted to know what was funny, to which Cartman, barely managing to speak through his laughter, told him that gingers have no souls. Seeing that the boy was not about to stop guffawing at his own joke anytime soon, 16 proceeded to bonk him on the head, extremely lightly by his standards, but still enough to knock the literal crap out of the powerless human child. Having Cartman's attention, Android 16 stated that that was not funny, then warned Cartman never to make careless comparisons of that sort again because lots of evil beings with powers exist in the Pantheon who would not have hesitated to kill him for that sort of thing. Cartman shakily nodded, and at least for a week had cooled it on the disparaging jokes. To this day, the boy becomes far more quiet and respectful when 16 is around.
  • 16 would acquire a set of upgrades to his memory from another version of him that was rebuilt in the mortal Dragon World using his old memory. The one responsible was a female redheaded Android 21 who turned out to be a converted cyborg via bio-organic LEGO Genetics in the same vein of how Cell was created, and needed his help resisting a Horror Hunger due to the cells of Majin Buu being a part of her genetic palette. Interestingly enough, each upgrade differed in its details but all came to the same conclusion: 21 originally treating him very fondly, but inevitably giving in to her hunger and killing him. Also, his "kill Goku" programming was confirmed to have been done away with.
    • When 21 was brought to the Pantheon thanks in part to the intervention of Chibi Moon and Pluto, 16 was pleased to have her back in the Pantheon. While learning that he was already rebuilt in the Pantheon and the version she'd rebuilt had become a memory upgrade to him was a surprise to her, she soon figured out the Pantheon was a special realm as he helped her get acclimated to being around. Their familial dynamic resumed without either missing a beat.
    • Zamasu quickly placed himself on 16's shit list when he decided to try and torment 21 with the truth about their creator, causing her evil hunger side to briefly take over and try to devour the Kai. 16 ended up having to find another controller to activate the sealing waves in order to knock 21 out, after which The Flash sped in to rescue her from Zamasu and Sailor Moon magically repaired the damage as well as roused 21's heart to take control again when she came to.

  • Good Counterpart to: Raul Menendez
  • Keeping an eye on: Guts, Bloody Marie
  • Approves: Atreus
  • So let's get this straight. A demigod who serves as one of the Eight Guardian Generals to a great kingdom leads the way in slaying a terrible monster, so the other seven decide to kill his wife, kidnap his daughter, murder the emperor they're supposed to serve, frame him for this, and then kill him, all as part of some convoluted gambit to get rid of the monster's kind. Sounds like a terrible plan in and of itself. Then factor in his daughter, now isolated by this scheme, having the power to manipulate power itself (it's called mantra in their world). Okay, so they have a Living Battery to make this work. Here's the problem. The one they got rid of, whose daughter they are using for this, is their strongest and angriest general, and they have rechristened themselves the Seven Deities. If he EVER gets out of the near-literal Hell they put him in... Welcome to the justified carnage of Asura's Wrath.
    • Naturally, he did, after several millennia, find his way back to the living world, taking down the Seven Deities and their armies in painstakingly epic battles, including his brother-in-law and his former teacher. And the whole thing actually led past the Deities/Generals themselves... to the very golden spider that created his universe. Yes, he even took down his world's Top God, earning the title of Destructor; such was his great power, his fury at being manipulated and betrayed, and his desire to protect his daughter. Following the end of his adventures he was ascended after everything he went through was shown to the other members of the Pantheon, in which almost everyone nearly SHAT themselves at his raw power.
  • Has a major fatherly instinct, and really wants his daughter Mithra to ascend to the Pantheon to be with her. Is also pissed off at abusive parents, and has at one point almost destroyed the House of Family with the aid of Devil Jin, intent on destroying Relius Clover after witnessing the latter attempting to "experiment" on his son Carl. Kazuya and Heihachi Mishima weren't spared from Asura's tremendous anger, either.
  • Is often compared to Akuma. The two had a fight so massive that it took 500 years to conclude. Who won the fight is still up in the air.
  • Recently took Sweeney Todd's place as the God of Vengeance and Rage. To this day, no one dares to speak about it, as it was not pretty. Even most of the other violent deities in the house hid in terror after it happened.
  • Despite similarities between the two, Asura despises Kratos with a passion for his carelessness towards humanity in how he often killed all who opposed him with no remorse, even innocent villagers. It brings to mind the other Demi-Gods that he had fought before ascending to this Pantheon.
    • In more recent times, Kratos has learned to greatly temper his rage, and most of his violent actions are now almost entirely for the protection and wellbeing of his son. Asura has not forgiven Kratos for causing his own apocalypse (Kratos has neither apologized nor shown any significant remorse for his actions), but there is some grudging respect between the two for now, as the problems Asura would have with him are apparently already being addressed (Kratos is clearly trying to teach his own son not to follow his own folly with a stern yet understanding hand).
    • With his permission, he allows Atreus to be around Mithra after the boy found his father and Asura to be alike. Asura, knowing that Atreus isn't the type to "seduce" Mithra, allowed him to be around her, on the condition he does not make her cry, knowing that he once lashed out at Sindri in anger. Atreus, flinching at the memory, nodded.
  • Since Asura has had less than ideal encounters with gods in his life, he rarely visits the Pantheon or even his own temples. Although he does go to the House of Combat every now and again to keep his skills sharp, and he has another temple there he uses to rest up.
    • On multiple occasions Asura has been seen with another fighter, his brother-in-law Yasha, when visiting the Combat Pantheon. Although he hasn't ascended (at least not yet) and he looks more calm then the raging Asura, the gods tend to give him space since he seems to be the only one on par with Asura. This thought has given Melkor much to worry about.
      • Yasha had been a part of the Pantheon for a while, but he is currently absent. Perhaps Melkor had something to do with it...?
  • Asura gives his blessing to anyone who has been betrayed and seeks revenge. But this blessing comes with a warning, as he tells those who follow him that they should always be careful managing their rage, lest it consumes them. This doesn't mean that he accepts followers, due to his stance against gods.
    • He keeps a watchful eye on Guts, who almost lost himself to his own rage and vendetta against Griffith, for this very reason. This is also why he utterly dislikes Sasuke Uchiha, because he thinks he's not worth carrying the torch of "revenge" since his mind is too weak to handle it.
    Asura: A whelp who doesn't know his place does not deserve to fight for rage and revenge!
    • His opinion of Sasuke has softened over time, however, since he now has a wife and daughter which he protects fiercely much like Asura. He wishes the young man luck and gives him his blessings for being a protective father... even one that wasn't around for a long time. Sasuke in return promised to protect Mithra whenever he can. Asura is also giving his support in getting Sakura and Sarada ascended, so the Uchiha family can be together again.
  • It is common knowledge in the Pantheon that Asura, in the rare instance that he visits, should be given a very wide berth, since an angry Asura is very bad news.
  • He's formed a strange friendship with Pit of all people. Probably because both of them actually like humans and have fought the entirety of their lives to protect them, plus having to fight some really Jerkass Gods in that effort. Some have also compared Asura's father instinct with Pit's desire to protect his goddess.
  • Making Asura mad has been voted "The most idiotic thing anyone can ever do" by the House of Mentalism, Asura has shown no objection since he knows that meant having more time to himself and his daughter. Even Hazama refuses to troll him, after a "mere attempt" caused Asura to use Hazama as target practice for his Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs for three whole days. Hazama was forced to apologize to prevent a bigger beatdown, and the two have agreed to never speak of it again.
    • There is also an incident regarding Lu Bu mocking him for his theme. The end result: Asura delivering the biggest No-Holds-Barred Beatdown the Pantheon has ever seen. And thus the universal agreement that pissing off Asura is a really bad idea.
  • Cell once attempted to absorb Asura in order to obtain his powers for himself. The result was a massive No-Holds-Barred Beatdown in which Asura completely floored Cell. Cell even used his Solar Kamehameha in an effort to kill him, and it looked for a moment it would work, but even that failed against Asura's Mantra form.
    • Cell apparently did receive a MASSIVE power boost afterwards, when he recovered from near death. Whenever Asura appears, however, he immediately leaves for the safety of his temple.
  • Is actually pretty chill in regards to Lucifer, especially because they both share the same ideas about giving any asshole from above a good ass-kicking for trying to mess with them or those under their protection, and since one of Lucifer's similarly named generals fell trying to oppose YHVH, Asura offered his help if Lucifer decides to take on heaven again (presuming Naoki Kashima isn't around to lead Lucifer's armies) and put his knuckles across the Great Will's face.
    • Which he will soon be doing as YVHV provoked Asura's wrath by targeting Madoka. He was amongst the first to sign up for the Pantheonic Rebellion.
    • Also has high levels of respect towards Luka, Lucifer's son, for both his desire to protect the innocent and his efforts to make coexistence possible between different races, something he is keenly aware of the problems of ever since the Seven Deities and humans. He doesn't even mind his official position since Mithra's not the type of girl he attracts. When he learned about how the boy fought and killed Ilias, a Goddess not unlike Chakravartin, his respect only grew further, to the point he doesn't mind letting him hang around his daughter... provided he always keeps his hands to himself. He's also close to Luka's wife Alice because he reminds her of her own mother, and he feels sympathy for Alice having to watch her die in front of her. Given her nature, though, he keeps a close eye on her to make sure she doesn't "corrupt" Mithra though.
    • Despite Asura and Lucifer being on good enough terms, the Upheaval had caused more strain on their partnership, namely the actions of Homura, and the fact that Lucifer instigated those action directly. Following those events Asura had a private meeting with Lucifer, simply to have Lucifer swear on his life that Mithra will never be part of any of his plans, directly or otherwise, or Asura will cut all ties with the GUAC. Not wanting to lose one of his strongest allies, Lucifer complied.
  • Several Evil deities, thinking they can defeat him while he's armless, have sent entire armies' worth of mooks. They taunt him, saying they'll take Mithra away from him again. Armed with only a shard of his master's sword, he eventually got so pissed off that...well, the result was a giant arm that wiped out hundreds upon millions of minions like rice paper. Even armless, it shows Asura shouldn't be fucked with.
  • Has learned to suppress his Berserker/Wrath form by meditating with Cosmos. That being said, he has a MUCH easier time in accessing his Mantra form, terrifying almost everybody in the Pantheon.
  • Upon learning of the ascension of Gohma Vlitra, Asura has decided to form a task force in order to end it once and for all. Aside from Yasha (who helped him slay the beast), Travis Touchdown, Ryu Hayabusa, Kratos (albeit reluctant), Goku and Augus (just to be able to fight Asura after all is done) have joined him. Though Deus had incidentally started amassing the other Seven Deities for the same purpose, it was Asura's company that would launch an offensive against the monster and succeed in slaying it permanently. While parting ways as an organization, the ex-members are on solid terms; they held a disbandment feast, of all things, that concluded with Asura, Yasha, Goku, and Augus all enjoying a good free-for-all smackdown afterwards as the other three watched on alongside Mithra.
  • Despite acknowledging they're all very good guys, Asura originally refused to be on friendly terms with the Chick Magnet Quartet, thinking that they could "corrupt" his daughter. He has even made the Quartet's leader, Issei Hyodo, promise him to never pursue Mithra, and beaten up Hayate Ayasaki when he stumbled onto Mithra after mistaking her for her Ojou-sama, Nagi Sanzen'in. The latter event, however, landed Asura on Nagi's shit list when she ascended to the Pantheon, and also earned him the mistrust of Hinagiku Katsura. Since then, Asura has decided to befriend the Chick Magnet Quartet and apologized to Hayate for his beatdown. Surprisingly enough, Asura has also given his blessing to Issei, for how he gets enraged whenever his harem is hurt.
    • After learning what Issei's ex-girlfriend Raynare did to him to give him self-loathing issues, Asura was imminently reminded of what his own former comrades did to him and is ready to support Issei in any way possible.
  • His absolutely gigantic Destructor form has piqued the interest of the Mecha piloting gods to try to take on said form. He has yet to respond to the challenges, but notes it as being interesting.
  • His reputation as the most Badass member of the Pantheon was cemented with his battle and victory against The Golden Spider (aka Chakravartin).
  • Asura, despite his overwhelming power, has no real political power in the Pantheon, like Flandre Scarlet. Unlike Flandre, however, this is mostly out of choice. We use the word mostly because whenever he is asked for a solution to any given problem, he always answers...
    Asura: Punch it.
    • Now granted this solution worked for most of his problems, but the Pantheons' problems are a little more complicated.
  • It was noted by the Pantheon that when he and Evil Ryu did a Shun Goku Satsu against each other, The Kanji for "anger/hatred" popped up during the fight, which translates out to "Ikari". Some have wondered what would happen if an angry Asura and an angry Shinji Ikari fought (although Shinji's name is written with a completely different kanji)...
  • When asked about his opinion on Shinji Ikari's actions he stated that although sacrificing the rest of the world along with himself was not the "right" thing to do he then admitted that if he and Mithra were in the same positions that Shinji and Rei were in he would have done the same. He then said that hoped that if Shinji decided to use his newfound power to protect those dear to him at all costs then he would have Asura's full backing.
  • Occasionally lends his strength to the likes of Yu Narukami as the leader of Sun Arcana. Asura said he's going to need it, especially in his upcoming battle against Nyarlathotep.
  • Has been seen speaking with Caius Ballad a few times. Asura has shown a level of respect to Caius for his concern over Yeul, though whether or not he's aware of the lengths Caius took for her is unknown.
  • Gets along well with Eren Yeager, considering the two have a few similarities in losing a loved member of a family, being easily angered which is hardly a good option for an offender and being able to increase in size and power.
  • Asura absolutely loathes Sweet Tooth, both for the fact that he's a gleefully unrepentant serial killer, and that he happily killed his own family.
  • Both he and Kenshiro have expressed great respect for each other due to their similar family relations, morals and fighting styles. Although neither has vocalized it out loud, and since Ryu and Akuma have fought Asura to standstills, every member of the Pantheon (including some knowledgeable mortal combatants) secretly wish for and dread the day both Asura and Kenshiro will cross fists.
  • Regarding the Street Fighters, he's encountered both of his famed opponents again in the Pantheon. He and Akuma have both learned to respect the other quite a lot, and while he doesn't think highly of Akuma delving with dark powers, Asura is looking forward to a rematch in the future, as is the Master of the Fist. He can say similar with Ryu, though in his case he's even more curious as the Eternal Challenger has since managed to overcome the darkness that fueled the second half of their battle and tap into a light that is equally powerful. As for that darkness, it manifested in a separate body now addressed as Kage, who actually did draw Asura into another fight only to be restrained by Pantheon authorities. Kage later tried to taunt him into another battle by taking on his costume, which almost worked—only for Mithra to talk him down from wasting more energy on the hollow being.
  • Just as many wish to see an epic duel between Asura and Kenshiro, equal interest is for Simon the Digger and Asura to challenge each other, what with their ability to become ever more powerful, attain planet-sized forms, and destroy creator-gods of their respective universes. Some whisper of a prophecy that the resulting explosion from their fists making first contact will create several new universes made of awesome and GAR (but result in an unsatisfactory draw).
  • Was impressed by the power that Twilight Sparkle showed in her battle standing up to Lord Tirek, especially the "Rainbow Power" she and her friends used to stomp Tirek. That said, he does become somewhat melancholy in the pony's presence, which some would attribute to her sharing a vocal base with his late wife Durga.
  • He is one of the few people outside of the God Emperor of Mankind who has earned the loyalty of Space Marines. In fact, one specific group even sees him as their Primarch. They are known as The Angry Marines.
    • This has begun to worry Asura to some degree. Not only because those marines are a group of completely uncontrollable berserkers, but that it also creates the possibility that he might be one of the sons of the God Emperor.
  • Is somewhat wary of Bloody Marie. While he completely understands the lengths she would go to get revenge for herself and her best friend, he is worried about the item she used to achieve those goals, especially with the risk it presents to Mithra. However, Marie promised him she would do everything in her power to keep Mithra from becoming a Skullgirl, to which he was grateful for.
  • He has gained respect for Might Guy after the latter went so far as to activate the Eighth Gate to protect his student Lee. He was doubly impressed by his god-tier physical abilities as well as his appearance. As such, he helped defend Guy's position after Guy was left a cripple, which had caused some members to question his belonging in the House of Power and Abilities.
  • Befriended Niko Bellic after hearing his past as a soldier in the Yugoslav Wars. He immediately identified with him after hearing how he was betrayed by a comrade similar to Asura. He occasionally joins Niko and his cousin Roman to go play some Bowling.
  • After an encounter with Yhwach, the Vandenreich Emperor earned the demigod's contempt for his treatment of his subordinates, and sees him as no different from the Seven Deities for absorbing the souls of others upon death to empower him.
  • Has learned that there exists an opposite of himself within someone named Raul Menendez, who like Asura lost everything he loved. However, while Asura sympathies with everything that has happened to him, he cannot accept the fact that Raul has decided to take out his anger on everyone else. Asura swears that he will put a stop to Raul's madness.
  • Many fear the day that three of the angriest deities (Guts, Kratos and Asura) might fuse together to create not only the strongest deity in existence but also the angriest being in existence. In fact, some deities have stated that if that ever happened, the entire world would be obliterated by the being's sheer rage.
  • Also has a spot in the House of Emotion.

Intermediate Gods

    Haohmaru 
Haohmaru, God of Boisterous Combatants (The Ronin Vagabond, Wandering Fencer)

  • Enemies: Amakusa Shirou Tokisada, Every Dirty Coward within the Pantheon, Geese Howard, Rugal Bernstein
  • A wandering ronin in search for a good fight. Haohmaru was orphaned at a very young age, his name being just a nickname given by a neighbour who encouraged him to explore the world. After losing a battle to the legendary swordsman Jubei Yagyu, Haohmaru started to train under Nicotine Caffeine, where he eventually was chosen as the successor of his Dojo. Haohmaru would then start wandering the world, picking fights with worthy opponent to improve his skills and his most remarkable trait is how much of a loud boisterous fighter he is, which once he arrived into the Pantheon, he was the clear candidate for the title and one he was very honored to represent.
  • The Pantheon was a perfect place for Haohmaru to hone his skills and fight powerful opponents. Some of them he already met before like Ryu who remembers Haohmaru as the time-displaced samurai he fought a while ago in a tournament and while not used to fight armed opponents, Ryu held his own very well and proved to be a worthy adversary in the eyes of Haohmaru. Another notable rival of his was Heishiro Mitsurugi, the two clashed once Haohmaru visited his universe and found to be equally matched, while being pretty similar to one another.
  • He's often seen sharing a drink together with Yasuo, who he thinks has a hair crazy enough like his, but not as crazy. Haohmaru, as usuall, invites him into battle and both spat on their blades with their wine before starting the match. Reports say that many many whirlwinds were tossed during the battle and they became frequent sparring partners.
  • He has a habit of spitting a bit of his sake into his sword, a quirk that many find quite silly but the ensuing battle usually proves them that Haohmaru is not one that should be taken lightly. He usually likes to hang out in the Hall of Alcohol to discover the Pantheon's own type of sake and many are surprised to learn that besides the boisterous guy looking for a fight, Haohmaru can be quite chummy if you get to know him. The aforementioned quirk isn't actually that strange according to one of the people he ended up befriending, as Tidus claims that his friend Auron does a similar him which amused Haohmaru and made his curious enough to challenge the swordsman if he ever crosses path with him.
  • After hearing of the tale of Miyamoto Musashi, Haohmaru wasted no time in challenging the legendary swordsman in a duel, the two noticing quite a lot of similarities to one another and decided to find out who was the better of the two. The battle ended in a draw but that only increased the drive of either swordsman to improve and try again next time.
  • While he is not one to care about the affairs of the world or the bigger picture, he nonetheless will choose to fight alongside the side of good if push comes to shove. That's how Haohmaru ended up becoming close allies with Nakoruru after the two worked together to take down Amakusa. Haohmaru wasn't happy to learn that the christian rebel was amongst the Pantheon's ranks but got perplexed once he noticed how widely different this version of Amakusa was. While the latter holds no strong feeling against the samurai, Haohmaru hardly buys his claims and not helped by the fact that occassionally his soul gets "possessed" by Ambrosia, unleashing the Amakusa he knows into the Pantheon and usually leading to Haohmaru and his allies to deal with him.
  • While usually the one to pick fights with others, Haohmaru is not stranger to getting challenged to a duel by other people. Azumi once approached him after hearing of his deeds but Haohmaru's own experience decisively gave him the victory but spared Azumi since he felt she still had a chance to grown stronger, a fact she appreaciates and since then became good friends. Manji also sought Haohmaru in order to test if what Mitsurugi said about him was true and Manji wasn't dissapointed with Haohmaru's prowess and neither was him with Manji's, also becoming another usual rival for Haohmaru (and by this point, he noticed that a looooooooooot of people ended up becoming his rival).
  • Not all of his relationship start and end with a fight, as this other samurai he sought out managed to surprisingly talk him out of a fight....briefly that is. He heard of Kenshin's legendary status as a samurai and wanted to find out himself if those legends were true but only found a man wanting to leave that past behind and adopt a more pacifist way of life, which is something Haohmaru can't help but respect. That said, that hasn't deterred the man from actually wanting to fight Kenshin but he at least understand that he won't accept easily.
  • From Ryu he heard of a strange hermit that reminded him of his own mentor, Nicotine Caffeine. This eccentric fellow turned out to be Oro, who at first didn't think much of Haohmaru but if Ryu said he was worthy of training then he decided to first test him in a duel. Haohmaru surprisingly didn't understimate the old man and noticed how strong he was after he managed to block all his swings with only one hand but managed to keep up enough to leave Oro impressed and making the hermit consider him as another potential successor for the Senjutsu, though at this point Haohmaru isn't really interested in continuing the legacy of another old man.
  • Has met Kyo Kusanagi before, the latter hearing about Haohmaru through his dad and the two are amicable enough but the same cannot be said about Iori Yagami, Kusanagi's co-deity. From his attitude and abrasiveness, he shares a lot of traits with Genjuro Kibagami, a former friend that trained alongside Haohmaru but due to his dark nature, was expelled from the dojo and grew resentful of his former training partner, developing a very strong rivalry between the two. However, Haohmaru has noticed that at the very least, Yagami is not as obssessive as Genjuro is when it comes to try to kill him, although that "obssession" is only ever directed towards Kusanagi.
  • Has met Baiken before after the latter somehow ended up stranded in his universe and even challenged him to a fight, one in which Baiken won. Since the encounter she dissapeared but once in the Pantheon, the two crossed paths again and Haohmaru is eagerly waiting for a rematch now that he knows how she really fights. As a samurai from an era that doesn't exist by the time Baiken was born, she is glad that at least her brief time in edo japan left an impact in someone that wanted to fight her, which brought a rare smile to the usually stoic Baiken.

  • Alignment: Chaotic Good
  • Stand(s): Silver Chariot, Chariot Requiem (Sort of. It's complicated.)

  • Enemies: J. Geil, Dio Brando, Diavolo, Jagi, Gregor Clegane, Hol Horse
  • As one of the staunchest allies of Jotaro Kujo and the Joestars, Polnareff received a recommendation to enter the Pantheon. He wasn't detailed about what he would ascend as, but his emotion flew all over the place that he gave out the biggest Tears of Joy ever, in which the Pantheon was proven right, he's to be ascended as a deity for those who are not afraid to show emotions even as they fight.
  • And the first thing he did after ascending? Initiate the group hug with Jotaro and Joseph just like he did after their bizarre adventure to Egypt, only this time with Noriaki Kakyoin as well. Polnareff swore that this better be repeated in any case Muhammed Avdol or Iggy makes it to the Pantheon.
  • Polnareff is a formidable Stand user as his Silver Chariot is a fierce fencer with blinding speed that can strike with instant time a lot of times. However, one of his weaknesses, as the enemy likes to exploit, is that he thinks with his dick. Naturally, nowadays, he seems to be getting better elsewhere after his ordeals.
  • There were news that somewhere along in the 'future', Polnareff would end up being sealed into a turtle, but overall becomes Older and Wiser and gains a new Stand called Chariot Requiem, all thanks to a certain man named Diavolo. Right now, Polnareff is still with his Silver Chariot, but he's been wary against Diavolo and promises that this time, he'll make it different. Also, Chariot Requiem is very powerful, but also exists outside of Polnareff’s control, so he’d rather not use it unless he absolutely has to.
  • Polnareff likes to visit the hair styling booth in the House of Personal Appearance, as he takes great pride in his hair.
  • He has heard about this 'cute girls fighting for justice', the Pretty Cure, though he swore he'll not flirt them, he's got standards in his flirting. But one certain Precure; Setsuna Higashi AKA Cure Passion, sparked something in Polnareff, as he saw 'something' of his dead sister within her, as well as their history of "starting out evil". Ever since introducing each other, Polnareff has been trying his best to become something of a big brother figure for Setsuna.
  • One day, while Ursula Callistis was visiting the house of Emotional Combat she ran into Polnareff dispatching an enemy disrupting yet another day of his. After finally disposing the assaliant with what she believe to be was an invible type of magic, Polnareff to revealed to her the nature of Stands and their role as a Fighting Spirit. Thanks to a spell, Ursula was able to finally gaze upon the majesty that was Silver Chariot, taking surprise to the fact it had shared a name with her, Shiny Chariot, which she used for performances. She was even more delighted to hear that Polnareff was a fellow from France as well. After entertaining each other for a bit, the two parted ways, but not before she was informed about the day Chariot Reqiuem would emerge after Polnareff's fight with Diavolo, and she promised to devote some of her research into finding a spell that would help Polnareff put it back under his control when the time came.
  • If anything he can rest easy about toilets in the Pantheon, they're incident-free. Though sometimes, it still happens, but most of the time, it's 85% safe.
  • There is one person he cannot stand aside of those originating from his verse: Jagi. Looking like his Silver Chariot is one thing, but when hearing that Jagi's actions would be very close to that of J. Geil, it didn't take a second for Polnareff to put him into his blacklist.
  • He and Oberyn Martell, and took an instant liking to each other. They're both charmingly lustful(though Polnareff is jealous of Oberyn's success), and motivated to get revenge against the monster who raped and murdered their sister.
  • Apparently, no one can't seem to spell his name consistently due to regional problems. "What's so hard about saying 'Polnareff', huh?"
  • As a being who's proud of his French heritage, by all means, mock his bravery at your own peril.
  • Is noticing the conflicts of his Expy, Benimaru Nikaidou, another individual who's appearance via the result of his electrostatics is uncanny of Polnareff himself. While Benimaru is annoyed with gods confusing him with Polnareff, and that he seems to massively dislike otaku, Polnareff can only shrug on the whole matter. Meanwhile, looking at the school jacket of Benimaru's friend, Kyo Kusanagi, kept reminding Polnareff of Jotaro.
    • Polnareff also seems to feel a little conflicted with the fact that in one instance, he shares a voice with Vinsmoke Sanji; while both of them are very similar in their charms towards women, Polnareff is aware of his issues stemming from his "memories of hell".....and that it somehow caused him to lose his sense of restraint over the 2 years he trained to get stronger. Polnareff wonders if something like that can ever happen to him, but at the same time he feels that unlike Sanji, he may be able to have a stronger grip on friendship with anyone, even with fellow ladies or the okama/newkama the Grand Line.

  • Symbol: His sword Arondight

  • Rivals: Benkei
  • Friendly Rivalry: Hercules and Arcueid Brunestud
  • Enemies: Mordred, Gilgamesh, Kratos
  • Whenever Lancelot is in a battle, it's best not to come anywhere near him. Once he gets into a fight, his bloodlust takes over and he won't be able to tell the difference between foes and allies.
    • This has an, unfortunately, darker side as even innocents can come into his crossfire. Once his bloodlust subsides, he is wracked with guilt at the innocents lost.
  • Even though Lancelot does battle with his trusty Arondight, he can use any weapons he can take his hands on, even his enemies, and use it like he trained with it for years.
    • It's not limited to weapons; phone poles, shovels, machine guns, fighter jets, mechs, and even the kitchen sink have all been used as his weapons.
  • Is said to look brutish and a bit ugly but his worshippers always make him look rather pretty. He doesn't put much care about it, just as long as he gets to show some chivalry.
    • Some say he got even prettier when he got his new title.
  • His relationship with other Berserkers differs; he is friends and sparring partners with Hercules and the two bonded over having their bloodlust causing innocent lives to be lost and feeling guilty over it.
    • He doesn't care either way with Cu Chulainn, but the two have crossed blades with one another.
    • Was absolutely disturb when he heard the atrocities Kratos committed in his life and feeling no remorse what so ever.
    • Much like Hercules, he is friendly with Arcueid Brunestud. The vampire seems to remind him of Arturia somewhat.
  • Crossed path with Benkei once in which the weapon master tried to take Lancelot's Arondight. After the two battle for an hour, in which Lancelot used Benkei's weapons against him, the two fell into a draw and each considers one another their rivals.
  • Was not pleased to learn of Mordred's ascension. He has since sworn he will never let her lay a finger of harm on his King again.
    • Their confrontation came sooner than expected as the two battle one another on an open field, with both blaming the other for the fall of Camelot. Before things got too out of control, the two combatants were separated by a golden beam of light out of nowhere, stopping their fight. Neither one of them knew that the beam came from Arturia herself, who was saddened at her two Knights fighting.
    • Their rematch promptly ended when Mordred prepared to use her Noble Phantasm, revealing her face in the process. Upon recognizing her resemblance to Artoria, Lancelot almost had a heart attack as his own experiences with his son flashed before his eyes, and he ran off into the knight, heedless of an angry Mordred shouting at him to come back and fight her. Kicking himself for not wondering about their relationship sooner, especially given Mordred's position in the House of Family, Lancelot has refrained from challenging Mordred again, knowing all too well the issues that come with family.
  • There were rumors that at night, Lancelot dons a black armor and black aura and reduces himself into The Berserker state. Nobody knew why he did that, some speculate that he really hurts himself over a certain crime he did for the King. One thing remains for sure: He became so powerful that he could beat Greater Gods at that time.
  • Was once portrayed by the God of Angst himself, Shadow the Hedgehog. Well, an alternate universe doppelgänger of him, who is more honour-bound than him, though Shadow doesn't really mind Lancelot.
  • Has nothing but hate for Gilgamesh because his treatment of his King, thinking her as nothing but a possession. It got to the point that Lancelot went into Mad Enhancement state and nearly beat the King of Heroes.
  • After spending months trying to avoid Arturia, the King of Knights finally confronted Lancelot. After telling her how much of a failure he was as a knight, he asked Arturia to kill him so he may atone. She did no such thing and told him that she never blamed or hated him and Guinevere and if things were different, the two would have had her blessing to be happy together. Lancelot could only weep as Arturia held her knight, finally finding resolve.
    • However, when the male Arthur ascended, it was a different story. Because this Arthur actually loves Guinevere, all the ugly emotions came back to haunt him. When he finally had the courage to confront King Arthur, the king couldn't seem to find it in himself to completely forgive Lancelot, though he praises what a brilliant and loyal soldier he is and agreed to let him rejoin the newly reformed Knights of the Round Table.
  • When he saw Wolverine, he felt some sort of familiarity. Related, he has gotten closer to The Beast, as apparently they share a connection.
  • Given his well-known interest in Guinevere, Lancelot doesn't understand why some people like to say "...Bet you're gay" to him.
  • Thanks to that one time he and Sir Tristan had to work with Cleopatra during Halloween, he now tends to stay away from married female deities in the Pantheon; the nickname Cleopatra gave him spread like wildfire, and he had to put on his Black Knight helmet for some time.
  • He and Achilles have bonded over their shared martial prowess and aquatic mothers (Thetis for Achilles and the Lady of the Lake for Lancelot), although the Greek's "laziness" still rankles him.
  • A misunderstanding led him to meet a different Lancelot, a boy from a world where Arthur and the Lady of the Lake are villains. He was naturally very freaked out by this.
