Intermediate Gods

Kingdra

Kingdra, Goddess of Seahorses that are Dragons (The Dragon Pokémon, Queendra, Sexy KKK)

• Intermediate Goddess. Greater Goddess when Dynamaxing.
• Symbol: The Dragon Scale used to obtain it
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Gender: Female
• Ability: Sniper
• Moveset: Rain Dance, Hydro Pump, Dragon Pulse, Flash Cannon
  • Z-Move: Devastating Drake
• Portfolio: Unusual dragons, Seahorses Are Dragons, Attacks with water, Jack of All Stats, Moving fast and doing lots of damage
• Domains: Dragons, Seahorses, Oceans
• Herald: Dragalge
• High Priest: Seahomon
• Followers: Tatsu Steed, Tatsu Blaze
• Allies: Ash Ketchum, SpongeBob SquarePants, Misty, Blooper, Ariel, Ecco, Seto Kaiba, Mokuba Kaiba, King Triton, Io and Bahamut, Daenerys Targaryen
  • Partner: Orm Marius the Ocean Master
• Enemies: Any fire deities, but especially Adell, Sicily, Black Manta, Acnologia, Bruce, the Dovahkiin, Euron Greyjoy
• Opposes: The Hall of Fairies
• Originally a two-stage evolution, Generation II brought a new level of power for the Horsea line. Through trading one while holding a Dragon Scale(or rare encounters via rippling fishing spots in Unova), the Water/Dragon Kingdra can be obtained. They usually live deep underwater, and can generate powerful whirlpools.
• Seahorses are a kind of fish. This particular detail is usually glossed over for unknown reasons. Being a marine lifeform, she found herself able to be commanded by Arthur Curry, who felt she was a mighty steed and an impressive combatant.
• Many ice gods who were familiar with Pokémon's type matchup were very confused to find that their attacks only do neutral damage to Kingdra instead of super effective damage. Kingdra is thankful none of the Ice deities know Freeze Dry. This led her to have only her fellow dragons as a weakness, until the appearance of Fairy-type Pokémon; not a development she or the other dragon Pokémon were fond of.
• Sometimes found in the cavern lakes within Hall of Draconic Beings. Many there think she's unorthodox for a dragon, but she pays such things no mind. Io and Bahamut were open-minded, as was Dany who took a liking to him. Ironic given her dragons are fire-breathers, but it does give her a distinct naval strength against Euron Greyjoy. And it didn't take much to convinced Kingdra that Euron is all kinds of messed up.
• Kingdra has been asked if a female Kingdra is still a Kingdra. The Mob is totally confused by it since they had a female Kingdra that they called Queendra/Sexy KKK during their adventures in the Johto Region once more. Kingdra is actually weirded out by her second nickname and has asked that the Mob not use it when they meet.
  • No, her kind aren't the kind of seahorse where the male gets pregnant. She finds the trope kind of weird, actually.
• Kingdra is good friends with the other gods of aquatic life such as Blooper and Ariel. Not Bruce though, since he would rather try to eat her than make friends. King Triton, who has made use of seahorses as steeds, was quite impressed by Kingdra. Marine biologists consider her speed to be somewhat ironic given real life seahorses are among the slowest fish in the sea.
• All fire deities avoid Kingdra like the plague since due to its typing, their attacks do next to no damage. Due to his weakness to water and the fact that physical fire attacks won't do much damage to a Dragon/Water Pokémon with decent physical defenses. ^note 95, Adell stays further away from Kingdra than Ragna and Mako stay away from the Hall of Ghosts. And that's not even mentioning that having Sniper makes Critical hits on top of super effective ^{total damage done} As of Gen 6 Sniper boosts the critical hit damage from 1.5x to 2.25x and super effective hits do 2x damage makes Kingdra even more powerful.
  • And that's not even the most damage Kingdra can do with a single attack ^{how to achieve maximum overkill} Sniper+Rain+Hydro Pump+STAB+Super Effective+Mysic Water/Splash Plate+6 Sp Attack buffs+252 EVs to Sp Attack=FUN
• Even Natsu avoids Kingdra even though his magic revolves around killing dragons. Acnologia doesn't have that kind of reservation and wishes to slaughter her like he does every other dragon. The Dovahkiin recognizes her as a dragon as well, much to Kingdra's dismay.
• Due to his last name translating into "Seahorse" Seto Kaiba has had some weird interactions with Kingdra. However Kingdra respects Kaiba for his determination and growth to become the person who he is now (his rivalry with Yugi over a child's card game notwithstanding, of course). She's also become acquainted to Mokuba when he ascended and how the boy has been able to able to smile despite the horrific past he's gone through.
  • That translation is presumably the only reason why it held the title of Dragon Pokémon as a Horsea or Seadra, back before she was introduced as an evolution or had the Dragon typing.
• When he heard a seahorse had ascended, SpongeBob hoped that his old pet Mystery had returned. Though not being able to meet her again, Kingdra proved an affable seahorse and let SpongeBob hang out with it. Mr Krabs still won't let seahorses like her in because of his no animals policy, which led to him being hit with a Dragon Pulse by an annoyed Kingdra. Mainly out of the hypocrisy given he serves the school of Wishiwashi, though there they more or less forced their way in.

Lesser Gods

Bruce

Bruce, God of Sharks (Jaws, A Perfect Engine, An Eating Machine)

• Lesser God
• Symbol: A shark fin moving through the water
• Theme Song: Just be sure that you're not swimming while listening to this
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: Underwater First-Person View, Immune to Bullets, Rule of Scary, Nightmare Fuel, Super Persistent Predators, Voodoo Sharks
• Domains: Ocean, Sharks, Terror, Death
• Superior: Steven Spielberg
• Followers: Gran Bruce (gee, ya think?), Tia Harribel, S. J. Sharkie, Miami Shark, has strained-but-positive-for-now relations with the Street Sharks, Shark, Beam
• Enemies: Ika Musume, The SCP Foundation, Mr. Krabs
• Opposed by: Samuel L. Jackson
• Rival: Meg
• Rumored to have been seen playing fetch with Davy Jones. Has devoured all evidence.
• Is not to be confused with another shark whose name is also Bruce. That shark doesn't even like him, feeling that he gives the species a VERY bad name.
• Is forever opposed by Samuel L. Jackson, because... "Deep Blue Sea? THEY ATE ME! A FUCKING SHARK ATE ME!!! Drink bitch!" (while trying to pour medicines on Bruce's pool so it gets sick)
• On occasion, Bruce is ridden by...Chuck Norris! A-CHUCK-A-NORRIS RIDING THE GOD OF SHARKS!
• Dr. Evil has recently taken some interest in Bruce and wants to use him in a pool for yet another easily escapable execution method. He is still trying to find a freaking laser-beam blaster big enough to actually fit him.
• He is currently part of the Deep Blue Trio, a group of divine beasts who terrorise the waters of the Pantheon. Bruce's domain is the beaches.
• Fonzie jumped over him once.
• Should his franchise have continued for too long, this would have been the result: The inevitable announcement of Jaws 19.
• Rather ashamed of his role in causing sharks to be so reviled, Bruce has vowed to slaughter all those who buy into the myth. He doesn't seem to realize why that wouldn't work.
• Is wondering whether sending his kin 'flying' inside a tornado to spread mayhem is a good idea.
• While Meg is nowhere as intimidated by Bruce, a shark who is much smaller than her, the latter is still keen on proving he's the superior predator.
• The only human deity he actually respects is Steven Spielberg, as he even named him Bruce (after his lawyer...).
• To remind us that "SPC" is "Shark Punching Center", The SCP Foundation has activated a protocol in the Pantheon that whenever their name is misspelled that way, Bruce is punched in the face and subsequently chases the misspeller. Whether this will revert to the shark eventually starting a vendetta against the foundation is yet to be seen.

Operation Razorteeth & Lake Victoria Piranhas

The Operation Razorteeth and Lake Victoria Piranhas

Operation Razorteeth Piranhas

Lake Victoria Piranhas

• Lesser Deities
• Symbol: One of them
• Alignment: Chaotic Evil
• Portfolio: Attack of the Killer Whatever, Lots of Carnage, Mainly Swims in Groups, Normally Found in Water
  • Razorteeth: Bioweapon Beast, Potential to Fly
  • Lake Victoria: Artistic License – Marine Biology
• Domains: Piranhas, Carnage
• Rivals: Bruce/Jaws
• Enemies: Fin Shepard, Scrat
• Interests: Joe (Help! I’m a Fish)
• Oppose: The Marsupilamis and Marsupilamie
• Wary Observation from: David Attenborough, Steve Zissou, Theodore Roosevelt, Aquaman, ABZU Diver (less wary than the others)
• Other Relations: Steven Spielberg, James Cameron
• Operation Razorteeth was set forth by the US government to create deadly piranhas in order for the country to gain an advantage during the Vietnam War and was canned once the war ended. The piranhas managed to survive and were tended to by one of the scientists behind the project until the pool they were in is drained, unleashing them onto many unsuspecting innocents, including those at a summer camp and a newly-opened summer resort. Destroying them with industrial-grade pollution wasn’t enough as another piranha-related attack was about to be under way, this time at an island resort. Not only was the attack caused by piranhas created as bioweapons similar to the previous incident, but they are capable of flying.
  • An earthquake has hit Lake Victoria, Arizona, unleashing plenty of prehistoric piranhas that have managed to survive for at least 2 million years potentially through cannibalism. A spring break party taking place turns into a bloodbath as the piranhas cause untold amounts of casualties and the instigators happened to be baby piranhas, with the adult ones being larger and presumably much deadlier. A campaign to eradicate the fish that resulted in Lake Victoria being abandoned wasn’t enough as another batch of piranhas hatched out of a cow’s carcass and caused another deadly attack, this time at a sexed-up water park in Cross Lake. Not only was the attack just as deadly as it was back in Lake Victoria, but the piranhas are capable of evolving to walk on land.
• Summertime was about to begin in the Pantheon and with it a variety of beachgoers and party animals who wanted to have some fun in the sun. Given the number of incidents that occurred involving deadly animals running amok in different beaches, safety measures were put in place to prevent any sort of accident from happening, but it wasn’t enough to stop a massacre from unfolding. A few days prior to the beginning of summer, a break-in at a top secret facility resulted in several kinds of deadly fish being unleashed into the waters of the Pantheon and the piranhas were about to enter the beach where that summertime party was taking place. What followed was a bloodbath leading to the deaths of many present, ranging from partygoers to people trying to protect others from the dangers of the piranhas. A drastic measure was taken to prevent any more casualties from the piranhas, resulting in the beach becoming an abandoned wasteland after the survivors were evacuated, but since there were many more piranhas coming to the Pantheon, a specialized area where they could be contained and difficult for them to break free was made for the safety of others, but it hasn’t stopped any more incidents related to them from happening.
• The highly aggressive nature of the piranhas led Steve Zissou and David Attenborough to try and figure out what made these particular fishes hostile to others even if they know the risks involved with trying to interact with a group of fish that can eat them alive. Attenborough was particularly disgusted with how the piranhas related to Operation Razorteeth were artificially created and saw it was mankind tampering with nature leading to disastrous consequences, especially when it came to genetically modifying them to fly. As for the prehistoric piranhas that attacked Lake Victoria and Cross Lake, while they were believed to be pygocentrus nattereri according to a marine biologist that kept one of them, both Attenborough and Zissou could tell that these prehistoric piranhas behaved nothing like a typical red piranha. The idea of prehistoric piranhas evolving so that they could move on land was something that was of curiosity for both Attenborough and Zissou when it came to the idea of how sea creatures can evolve, but since neither want their documentaries to lead to murder during filming, they opted to be very careful when it came to studying these creatures, especially since a couple of piranhas they took in for studying ended up escaping when Zissou and Attenborough weren’t looking (though the two didn’t get hurt while they had ownership of these piranhas). The ABZU Diver has also assisted Attenborough and Zissou in better understanding these piranhas and while she isn’t as afraid of them, she still believes that there can be a home for these fishes without causing a lot of damage towards others and has been part of discussions with Zissou, Attenborough, and other nature lovers in having a highly secure piranha sanctuary be part of the Pantheon.
• While there were additional piranha-related films, the 1978 film featuring the Operation Razorteeth piranhas was one of several movies that copied Jaws to the point that it was almost subject to a lawsuit. Steven Spielberg, director of the original Jaws, enjoyed the original Piranha movie, though not only has he not said anything about later installments of that series, but he knows to keep his distance from these creatures given their hostility. The shark from Jaws nicknamed “Bruce”, found itself in violent rivalry with not just the Razorteeth piranhas, but the prehistoric ones as well when it came to causing terror in aquatic settings. While the shark is a larger creature and can eat a group of piranhas easily, a large number of piranhas would be able to eat the shark just as easily, especially if the shark has been weakened by something. Speaking of famous filmmakers and movies about piranhas, the follow-up to the Razorteeth piranha attack was the first film to be directed by James Cameron, but given how production on that film ended up being problematic, the movie isn’t something Cameron is willing to talk about much, if at all, even if he’s acknowledged it as his first directorial effort.
• One documented moment of Theodore Roosevelt’s life involved witnessing a school of piranhas tearing through a dead cow in seconds and being surprised by it. He had written about this encounter, though while that particular school of piranhas was raised in different circumstances, he was just as shocked to learn that there were a group of deadly piranhas out there, even if the Razorteeth piranhas and Lake Victoria piranhas had different origins. There is a sense of dark irony present in Roosevelt’s initial encounter with the piranhas back then given how the piranhas that attacked the water park in Cross Lake hatched out of a dead cow, but like many who know of how deadly these particular piranhas can be, he’s wanted to be as careful as he can be when in an area close to these piranhas, especially since they have potential to evolve and be more dangerous than they already are. As a respected president and outdoorsman, he’s become aware of when any potential piranha attacks can occur and has offered his help in trying to get survivors to safety while stronger entities present fend off the creatures.
• Joe the pilot fish was someone who looked at the carnage caused by the Razorteeth and Lake Victoria piranhas with interest as he believes they could be of use to his plans of overthrowing humanity and letting aquatic creatures become the dominant species. These piranhas are highly voracious and volatile and can easily eat him if he’s not careful, so he’s opted to take his time to ensure that any plans that involve them don’t end badly. He seems to believe that if exposed to the fish antidote, not only would these piranhas gain human-like intelligence, but they would retain their vicious behavior while Joe can use them for his schemes (and he specifically hopes that the Razorteeth piranhas will have a stronger hatred towards humanity after having potentially increased intelligence given that they are man-made creatures). Regardless of whether he can successfully use these piranhas or not, he’s still pleased to hear that there are more deadly fish that are willing to bring humanity’s numbers down.
• The sea can be a dangerous place to navigate both for humans and animals if they’re not careful and these piranhas have only added to the potential undersea threats that are present. Most friendly sea life don’t have the means to defend themselves from these piranhas other than fleeing them, but Aquaman was someone who had the means to keep these creatures under control, if only momentarily. Arthur Curry has had a history with piranhas as they apparently ate his right hand at one point, but being someone familiar with sea life regardless of how hostile they can get, he’s taken a different approach to handling them in contrast to how some others want to kill these creatures. Since he has the ability to control fish, he has used these piranhas a handful of times to fight against any sort of villain that threatened to destroy the oceans or put it in a worse state than it currently is, though after such battles, he’s opted to put these piranhas in a place where they are safe from others, but far from where they can eat innocents up, while he has them in his control, but such a task in trying to keep aggressive fish in check can be taxing for a superhero who has a lot to deal with as is.
• As deadly as these piranhas are to most normal people and animals, there are plenty who can put up a fight against these piranhas and the stronger they are, the easier it is for these piranhas to get killed, especially since they’re not particularly sturdy fish. There are a number of gargantuan sea monsters and other colossal land-bound monsters who are easily able to eat plenty of these piranhas in one bite (or take them down with a reasonably strong move) and the piranha’s teeth wouldn’t be enough to put a dent in these monsters even if the creatures were weakened. Using cryomancers to freeze the water the piranhas live in and prevent any additional casualties is also an easy tactic on paper, but such an idea being effective would require plenty of people (and benevolent sea life) to be evacuated if they aren’t already dead by the time reinforcements have arrived. Piranhas that can fly and walk on land can be a deadly scenario for many, but some such as Fin Shepard, whose use of weapons to fight sharknados can be applied against piranhas, are access to tools needed to take down these piranhas if they want to take their chaos on grounded terrain.
• Besides Joe the pilot fish, there were more than a handful of Pantheonic deities looking to get their hands on these piranhas for one reason or another. A handful of villains have used piranhas (or some other deadly fish) as part of their schemes and even if they weren’t successful with those initial plans, they believe that using either some Razorteeth or Lake Victoria piranhas in their revised plans would help them pull it off, even if trying to find a way to get ownership of them has proven to be difficult. A few deities dedicated to carrying out assassinations or brutally murdering corrupt entities have used piranhas in their missions and while they’ve had an easier time finding these particular piranhas and using them to finish off their targets, it’s more of an infrequent option than a regular tool they use. There’s even a handful of deities such as Gomez and Morticia Addams who are fascinated with the macabre and wouldn’t mind having a few of these piranhas as pets (and in the case of the Addams, they see it as a compliment to the pet piranha they already own).
• Many deities have already encountered piranhas prior to these particular ones entering the Pantheon and in a way, the Razorteeth and Lake Victoria piranhas are just as deadly as, if not moreso than, the ones those deities have already come across. While some are frightened of them due to having bad experiences with piranhas and can only run away from them, there are a few who were able to fend off piranhas in the past, even if they aren’t the same numbers that the Razorteeth and Lake Victoria piranhas can reach and don’t have the same kind of abilities more powerful entities have to make it easier to fight back. Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Dixie have navigated underwater areas and have used Enguarde the swordfish to get rid of aquatic menaces, including piranhas, while Scrat was able to directly fight off some piranhas that were attacking him and his acorn, despite Scrat normally being prone to over-the-top mishaps. While such deities who have fended off piranhas in the past can get rid of a few Razorteeth and Lake Victoria piranhas when the numbers aren’t that large, there will come a point where the numbers are overwhelming that they’ll have to retreat to dry land, assuming that the piranhas aren’t already capable of evolving to walk on land.
• There is one group of deities that seems to give them more trouble than any other: the Marsupilamis and Marsupilamie. These simian-like creatures seem to enjoy eating piranhas, and whenever deities believe they'll need to navigate waters where piranhas — including these piranhas — reside, they'll ideally bring at least one of the adult Marsus along. The predatory fish, for their part, don't appreciate having the tables effectively turned on them.

Qwilfish

Qwilfish, God of Pufferfish (the Balloon Pokémon, Harysen)

• Lesser God
• Symbol: A purple, poison-colored balloon
• Alignment: True Neutral
• Gender: Male
• Ability: Swift Swim
• Moves: Toxic Spikes, Poison Jab, Pin Missile, Aqua Tail
  • Z-Move: Acid Downpour
• Portfolio: based on globefish, Glass Cannon, Poison-type, Water-type, speeds up in the rain, learns Spikes moves naturally
• Domains: Pufferfish, Poison
• Heralds: Hisuian Qwilfish and Overqwil
• High Priest: Porcupuffer
• Followers: the OpenBSD mascot, Froaks, Bubbles and Pointdexters, Puffer Cheeps
• Allies: Ash Ketchum, Misty, Lapras, Kingdra, Jigglypuff, Aquaman
  • Partner: Ariel
• Enemies: Team Rocket, Giovanni, Cyrus, Ghetsis Harmonia, Lysandre, Purple Eyes, Pokémon Hunter J, Bruce, the Kraken
• Opposes: deities related to electricity or psychic powers, SpongeBob SquarePants, Pennywise
• What's there to say about this Pokémon? Well, it's not as prominent in the Pokémon seas as Tentacool and Tentacruel, but… it crops up a lot in discussions of forgettable Pokémon, which makes it unforgettable in the ironic sense. While later generations have been kinder to Qwilfish, giving them a few more moves to play with, this "forgettable" way of popularity drew attention and Qwilfish ascended to the Pantheon as a result.
• Some deities wonder if Qwilfish has somewhat of a complex about being forgettable. Being just a Pokémon, Qwilfish isn't answering. Given this specimen is known to ignore the much more common and well-known Water/Poison Tentacool line, it probably does. It doesn't like that it's weak to Ground type moves despite being a Water type, and avoids the Hall of Earth and Rock for this reason.
• The Balloon Pokémon inflates his body to scare away predators, and even has Intimidate as a Hidden Ability. It uses this to scare off gods like Bruce, but most don't take it seriously because of its goofy appearance. He thought he could get into the House of Dread and Valor due to his "intimidating" defense mechanism, but they laughed him off. Still, it works for many fish deities.
• Seems to get along with Jigglypuff, as they're both the Balloon Pokémon and puff up their body to come off as tougher. And as with anything associated with balloons, Qwilfish is seriously creeped out by Pennywise and his use of them as his calling card.
• As a pufferfish, Qwilfish is pretty toxic. Bruce and the Kraken. seems to avoid wanting to bite Qwilfish, but probably just because the spikes and poison would be unpleasant. Homer Simpson was a bit spooked by Qwilfish, but this is only due almost eating fatally unprepared fugu.
• Some believe that like fugu/pufferfish, Qwilfish might be a delicacy if prepared right instead of being toxic. The Balloon Pokémon protested this argument and has avoided entering the House of Food since so no-one can test out that theory.
• Like (nearly) every aquatic creature without their own agendas, Qwilfish will answer Aquaman's call should he need him, though he thinks that might not be needed as much as the others. And like most, it seems to be on good terms with Ariel.
• One time, Mrs. Puff tried to get out of trying to teach SpongeBob how to drive, getting a fellow puffer-fish in the form of Qwilfish to take her place. This ended pretty disastrously, and as a result he opposes SpongeBob due to his insane driving. Mr. Krabs is wondering if he's related to Mrs. Puff in any way.
• Given that neither draw a lot of attention, though for different reasons and for different kinds of people, Qwilfish encountered Kellam by the river one day, and they stared at one another for a few minutes. After which they parted ways as if nothing ever happened.

Quasideities

Anago

Anago, God of Unpleasant Eels (Jooldom, Sea Eel, Conger Eel)

• Quasideity
• Symbol: An animated drawing of him◊
• Theme Song: Think About It
• Alignment: True Neutral with some Chaotic tendencies
• Portfolio: Slippery as an Eel, Formerly The Dragon and Number Two to the Master, Lean and Mean, Villain Song, Straw Nihilist, Lack of Empathy, Fiendish Fish, No Sense of Personal Space towards Padak, Faux Affably Evil, Named Jooldom by the Foreign Release Subtitles, Unhesitatingly Eats Spotty's Corpse, Delivers a "The Reason You Suck" Speech To The Master, Starts A New Cult After the Master Escapes Into The Sea
• Domains: Eels, Unpleasantness, Cruelty
• High Priests: Flotsam and Jetsam
• Followers: Hammond, Morey, Unagi
• Allies^note Of sorts: Ulquiorra Cifer, Lotso
• Complicated Relationship: Padak, The Master
• Enemies: Marlin, Dory, Walter Sobchak, Gorillaz
• Pitied by: Death of the Endless
• Opposed by: Hope Bringers in general, Emperor Calus
• Apathetic Towards: Everything else in the Pantheon
• Anago was one of the many fish residing in Tank 3, he served as the Master's Dragon helping the latter in spreading his complacent philosophy of surviving, while secretly harboring resentment towards him. He would quickly prove his nastiness to Padak, the newcomer to the tank, with his sliminess and sarcasm proving to frustrate her a lot while she tried to communicate her idea of freedom. While most of his tank-mates were ravenous when eating fellow fish and very actively ruthless, he seemed to be more calm, collected and patient about it, but eventually his true nature was revealed when Spotty died, as while everyone else felt sad about the cheerful fish's death. He felt nothing but apathy and unhesitatingly began eating his corpse, when confronted about it by the Master, he defended himself by pointing out how the Master himself had taught him it wasn't wrong to do so. After the Master escaped following Padak's death, he was left behind, presumably being killed at a later point.
  • Some sources do report that he learned nothing from the Master's escape and Padak's death, and instead began a new cult once he was gone, with himself and his fellow tank mates now mentoring a group of fish into "surviving" under the same rules the Master once taught them.
• Due to his nihilistic thought process, he is not one to care for the Pantheon's Forever War at large, he claims that it's inevitable that everyone will eventually perish and that all the conflict of Good, Evil, Chaos and Law is simply a game that the 4 leaders of the Great Factions are having against one another, with them benefiting from the conflict in their own ways at the expense of everyone else who according to him "survive on the scraps while the higher Deities get all the valuable benefits". He's been quick to tell any aligned Deities that try and recruit him into their factions that he's not interested.
  • That said, he's at least shown some interest in joining the Nature Uprising, if only because it's the only faction that he thinks will benefit him in any way directly. A few have called him out on that, but he is quick to retort that he is no fool and "knows" that aligning with it means he'll be a pawn, but he considers it good enough, as it is surviving in the Pantheon.
• His relationship with both the Master and Padak was heavily soured after he unhesitatingly ate Spotty's dead body after the latter was killed by the King Crabs, though Padak and the Master leave him be, they both are heavily disappointed in his lack of standards and were both furious to know that he started another riddles cult in the Master's absence, rather than try and help the other fish to escape. Anago himself dismissed the last call-out by claiming that the Master's own successful escape was pure luck that couldn't be replicated and thus was merely making the best out of his situation.
• His nihilism won him a surprising ally-of-sorts, Ulquiorra Cifer, another absolute nihilist who shares a similar world-view and morality to Anago, though Ulquiorra can be at times surprised by the sheer nihilism of Anago, which so far remains completely unfazed by everything. Anago himself is amused that someone so powerful could potentially be a pessimist, as he believes someone as powerful as Cifer has all the power to improve any situation he has, while a regular eel like him can't.
  • Another "ally" he made was Lotso, as the evil teddy bear sees Anago as a "kindred" soul who shares his worldview on life and the pointlessness of it beyond the basic survival. That said, Anago is more interested in tearing down Lotso's ideology, viewing him as dishonest as the Master once was about truly believing in his supposed sacred ideology.
• He's not on good terms with other sealife in the Pantheon, particularly those such as Marlin and Dory. Marlin particularly hates him for not bothering to even hide the fact that he will gladly kill and eat them should he be given the chance, unlike Padak and the Master, who despite their nature as predatory fish are capable of resisting and fighting their impulses and willing to leave them both alone. He himself is amused by Marlin's protective attitude as well as his story's parallels with the Master's own.
• His nihilism gained various opposition in the form of the many idealists of the Pantheon, who all wish to change his mind and make Anago view that there's a reason to wanting to live free and without pessimism, so far no one has succeeded at it. Stand outs are:
  • Makoto Naegi is rather perplexed by the sheer depth of the nihilism that Anago carries, though after a good talk with others about the experiences that he and various other fish went through at the fish restaurant, he can hardly blame him for it. Regardless, he won't give up his hope and believes that one day Anago will come around and view the upsides of life, even if he can't and refuses to.
  • Kouta Kazuraba, who can't fathom just how far Anago takes his apathy towards living, he's tried to convince him that he can find a place for him and all his fellow fish to live in where he no longer has to be a downer about their situation.
• Death of the Endless pities Anago for his views on death. As while she considers death a natural part of life and existence, she still believes that all beings should not see as an inevitable tragedy, but rather the end of their fulfilling mortal lives where they can rest in peace afterwards. Anago himself harbors indifference towards her, viewing no point in doing anything but a force of nature that dictates his life.
• Emperor Calus is greatly annoyed by Anago's nihilism and refusal to do anyting out of his life beyond basic survival, and has tried to make Anago understand what Padak, Spotty and the Master did. Likewise, he considers that even if Anago were to fail his escape in the mortal realm he came from, he'd still prove that he was alive because he wanted to get out of his predictament and not just accept his avoidable fate as he believes it to be. Anago just scoffed at his words, clarifying that Calus has the power and wealth to pretty much solve any issue he'd have with his mortal life, while he bluntly put that as an eel, humans see him as either a pest, creepy or food. And he has nothing that could help him improve on it
• Koba has occasionally offered Anago the chance to join him and various other human-opposing deities so they can use their combined forces to turn the tables on mankind and put themselves at the top. Though Anago has considered his offers, he's rather quick to dismiss them. Fully believing that the whole system is bound to repeat itself eventually and thus there is no point in trying.
• Has earned the utter loath of Walter Sobchak for his sheer nihilism, with Sobchak unwilling to give him a speck of pity due to how the Master outgrew his nihilism, he's been quite eager to walk over to Anago's temple and shoot the eel dead, though this has only made Anago grow bitter towards it and further increased his nihilism, as a human trying to kill him is proof to him that the Pantheon is not any better than his old life.
• Doesn't likes Gorillaz after Murdock tried to have him fried for dinner, his response was to bite him, and Murdock was driven off by his food suddenly attacking him, ever since he's sworn that he will make sure to kill him out of spite as payback for it.
