  • Meet the Miser Brothers; Heat Miser and Snow Miser. Heat Miser got his name because whatever he touches starts to melt in his clutch. Snow Miser got his name because whatever he touches turns to snow in his clutch. They're both too much.
  • Their presence in the pantheon was first made aware to the public after the house of Military and Warfare has noticed that the battleground was experiencing a rapid change between hotness and coldness, making the weather unbearable for others to fight there, even if they were prepared for a hot or cold climate, as it would just change again in a snap. A couple deities fared the foul weather only to find the Miser Brothers there. When they stepped up to converse with them, they, without fail, bursted out into their theme song. After the initial confusion, they confessed that they took interest in the house of Military and Warfare to continue their fighting. They were given a spot within the Pantheon as compensation for their catchy song, but got banned from the house of War as a result.
  • It should be noted that after their adventure having to replace Santa thanks to their brother, the North Wind, trying to sabotage them, they have became much more friendly and tolerant to each other. The only reasons they fight these days is if it's for fun (like they were doing in the House of War prior to their ascension), Greenland and Iceland are brought up or their relationship has been sabotaged for some reason. Woe befallen onto anyone who tries the latter.
  • Why are these two greater gods? Well, they actually manage the climate of the entire world, split into the north and the south. It should also be mentioned that they are capable of quickly turning anyone and anything into snow or melting them. How powerful are they? Snow Miser was capable of freezing Heat Miser's nose in a snap, and he was able to melt said change away quickly. Considering that he was able to melt the moon, everyone considers themselves lucky that the furthest extent of fighting the Miser Brothers displayed was just childish dirty talking and slapfights.
  • Upon the duo's ascension, the Mind Flayer has been more secretive about itself. The problem is that they both represent things that the Shadow Monster is afraid of. Sure Snow Miser is more or less about snow, but given that snow is basically frozen water, it is not willing to risk messing with them. There's also the fact that just by simply touching something can cause said thing to either melt or turn to snow, making even basic contact a risk to him, and unlike his other fear, The Firebird, they ARE small enough to enter its tunnels. And even if he was able to mind control one of them, there's always the other who would be more than willing to fight on behalf of their brother. The GUAD has considered this a massive roadblock in their plan of using the Mind Flayer; even more so when the brothers joke that they are too much for him to handle. The GUAD have since been plotting to destruction of them, and the Miser Brothers have been working with some deities, even some malhearted gods, to plot the destruction of the Upside Down.
  • They have a habit of sprouting fire and ice jokes. Some deities, like Sans and Chuggaaconroy, love to jump in and add their own much to the constant irritation of Papyrus and Proton Jon.
  • Due to their own war against each other and managing to draw it to a peaceful resolution, they actually have began trying to help tidy up other sibling relationships. They were impressed with the Mario Brothers for managing to keep maintaining a healthy relationship with each other despite Luigi getting overshadowed easily by Mario. Heat Miser actually confided in Luigi that he understands his pain, because whenever it's Christmas time, everyone wants to celebrate his brother, Snow Miser.
    • They also sympathized with Zuko, who is trying to have his own sister reconcile over their differences in the past, even if they were fighting as enemies. On that end, they both grew angry at Azula for trying to essentially keep shutting down her brother's attempts at forgiveness. They already know just what troubles siblings hating each other could get into.
    • Upon hearing how there were six siblings living peacefully with each other, the Miser Brothers actually gave The Matsuno Brothers their highest praise of managing to stick with each other no matter how many brothers they have and how much trouble some of them keep getting into.
  • Due to their role with the weather, they have a spot within the house of Nature to help keep the weather all around the pantheon in check. Although, they must confess that they were stunned after hearing the story about Akainu's fight with Kuzan in Punk Hazard and the devastation that occurred within Punk Hazard. They considered themselves lucky their fights never reached such devastating levels.
    • Heat Miser views Ragnaros as someone even more crazy than he is on a bad day, and generally treats him with extreme caution.
  • They once heard Anonymous dub over their song for a annual event called "/V/ The Muscial", singing about graphics cards of all things. They didn't mind it and even found it pretty amusing.
  • "TOO MUCH!"

  • A rising idol that brings smiles in a miserable world, Uta is the adopted daughter of one of the Four Emperors, Red-Haired Shanks. Uta was subsequently left on the island of Elgia when she was younger and never saw Shanks again until she grew into a young adult, not without good reason. When visiting Elgia, Uta's Sing-Sing Devil Fruit abilities attracted Tot Musica, an Eldritch Abomination with a connection to that Devil Fruit's user. It possessed Uta, leaving a trail of destruction that left Uta and the composer Gordon as the Sole Survivors of Elgia. To prevent the World Government from targeting Uta, the Red-Hair Pirates were forced to abandon her under Gordon's care, taking the blame for the incident by pretending they raided the town. Years would pass and Uta was raised by Gordon on the empty island, before learning that she could use technology to connect to others in the outside world. She would try cheering up people throughout the world through her music, her heart pouring out to those affected by the conflicts between pirates and the tyrannical World Government. One day, she accidentally came upon a recording that told her role in reviving Tot Musica and bringing destruction to Elgia. This revelation gave Uta the resolve to bring "eternal happiness" to everybody on the planet by trapping them all in a Dream Land her Devil Fruit created, where suffering would cease to be.
    • Thanks to her popularity, it was relatively easy for Uta to host a simulcasted concert where billions will hear her sing, the Straw Hat pirates not being exempt. As her dream only exists as long as she is awake, Uta ate the poisonous wake-shrooms to keep herself up, intending to die so she could trap as many people as she could in her fantasy forevermore. According to the Five Elders who were horrified by what was happening, Uta almost killed 70% of the world's population. She took on three Emperor crews, two Admirals with a fleet backed by Vice-Admirals, a Supernova, and two Emperors at their maximum power at the same time all while she was succumbing to the poison. Uta used people's sleeping bodies as puppets, used her invincible powers in the dream she created, and resummoned Tot Musica both in her dream and reality just so that she died on her terms. However, Shanks convinced a barely alive Uta to free everybody upon destroying Tot Musica with Luffy's help. Uta did so with her final song, before dying peacefully by those she called her family. Most do not harbor any resentment toward Uta after that incident, as her music is still beloved even by those who tried to directly stop her. Now that Uta has been brought to the Pantheon, she admits that it is a bit awkward considering the entire circumstances and admittedly, still wants a world of peace that she fought to the end for. That said, she is happy at the moment spreading as much joy as she could to others without needing to bring the apocalypse.
      Uta: Luffy!
      Luffy: Yeah?
      Uta: If you become King of the Pirates, you better not be so strong that you can beat me at racing instantly!
      Luffy: Sure. But I'll beat you in the race since you suck at racing anyway!
      Uta: Nu-huh.
      Luffy: Yu-huh!
      Sanji: DON'T YOU GO DISRESPECTING PRINCESS UTA LIKE THAT!!!
    Sanji kicks Luffy in the head.
    Luffy: Ow.
  • Considering her status as the daughter of Shanks, many pirates want to capture Uta despite her popularity. Big Mom sent her children after Uta during her big concert when Luffy wisely decided to yell out her parentage to the entire planet. Kaido and Blackbeard on potentially using Uta as leverage against a dreaded rival of theirs. That being said, these attempts at her kidnapping are seldom seen as Uta almost instantly annihilates all of her opponents just by singing. They all become unconscious the moment she says anything, and she proceeds to beat them mercilessly in her Virtual World. If an Emperor was not exempt from her spell, then nobody can be quite honest. After imprisoning the pirates she defeated, Uta would tell them to reconsider their pirate lifestyles and will only free them if they leave their lives of crimes. She hates pirates and believes that they are the root of conflict, so she would prefer if pirates just disappear entirely. When Uta sleeps though, her hold on others ceases and they wake up, so it only takes a matter of time for them to be free. Her skills brought the fear that if Uta tried to come after them or learned the almighty Haki in the process, then the Emperors may genuinely conspire with each other to stop her when her grand ambitions target them. For that reason, nobody has tried to go after Uta after seeing what happened to those who tried. The World Government did not want to mess with her even if it means letting a person who harmed a Celestial Dragon go free. All of them could try to find ways to keep her from singing, though the risk is just too high to be worth the effort.
  • When it comes to her friendship with a certain Monkey D. Luffy, Uta's relationship with him is almost if not on par with his relationship with his brothers. It was close enough that Uta would try to convince Luffy to leave the piracy life when meeting him again at that concert, being forced to fight him when it became clear that he was as adamant about his goals as Uta was with hers. Funny enough, Uta traveled with Shanks despite being a child, something that Luffy initially desired only for Shanks to reject him. This is a factor in their competitive dynamic, especially when it comes to racing with each other with ridiculous stipulations (who brings a bull to a race?) There are many people though who read into their relationship to be much deeper than just being like siblings, whether they are aware of it or not. Thank goodness that a certain Warlord of the Sea was not present during Uta's concert, or her sheer jealous rage would have been enough to fight off Tot Musica itself. If the situation then wasn't so dire, Luffy would have pulled a fast one on Uta by asking her to join his crew right after she asked him to quit being a pirate.
    Luffy: Wanna join my crew? It'd be fun having another musician around.
    Uta: Luffy, I still hate pirates.
    Luffy: Does that mean you hate me?
    Uta: Not going to lie, just a little bit.
  • Uta managed to adjust to becoming a streamer quite easily as that was she was when Uta was spreading happiness to others. Except for this time, she had to buy a camera, a microphone, two monitors, a PC, and a keyboard instead of using just using a snail to broadcast herself. A person cannot imagine the hell that Uta endured trying to build a PC. Uta enjoys streaming to others by doing karaoke or just playing games as she talks to her chat, though it overwhelmed her at first. The number of unhappy voices that The Internet holds is staggering, and it made Uta more innately depressed than she already was upon seeing how much negativity the online space held. Instead of doing something drastic like trying to blow up TV Tropes, Uta has worked harder than ever to bring smiles to everyone to the power of streaming, albeit at a cost to her mind and body. This dedication to making people happy has left Uta to be constantly tired, something that she cannot help.
  • Uta sees other idols as rivals to herself, although she remains kind and supportive to her fellow singers. Putting aside the darker parts of the idol industry (let alone the music industry), Uta sees that an idol intends to bring joy to a sad world. While Uta respects all idols for committing to this role, she cannot help but see that she has to be the idol that will bring happiness to everybody. Not to say that all idols are nothing compared to herself, but Uta sees that if she achieves her goal of being everybody's idol, she finds that more happiness could be achieved by having people's love centralized on her. After all, would it be better to love one thing that fulfills you completely than splitting your fulfillment through multiple things? Uta has still gone to the concerts of Hatsune Miku, 765 Pro, etcetera, to show her genuine love for them though her sentiments that to achieve her dreams means to sideline her fellow idols is always a disheartening feeling she cannot let go of.
  • Doflamingo saw his sunglasses end up being worn by Uta, which led him to this ginormous pain of trying to buy off all the sunglasses that he wears so that nobody finds out they are retail products. He is a distinguished crime boss after all, so people the insinuation that this powerful man had to go to a typical store would tarnish his image. One would think this reaction is overblown but in reality, the powerful are quite insecure over these kinds of things so they do their hardest to prop their image up. Type in politicians who prop their heights with elevator shoes in photos to see this attitude on display. Not that it mattered since people noticed these sunglasses were missing and made fun of Doflamingo for spending so much money to make himself look cooler when it just makes him look lame in comparison. Uta could only note during this situation that there is a chance Doflamingo may be one of her viewers if this whole business happened before her stream ended.
    Uta: Doffy, is that you in the superchat?
    JokerCelestialNoble: I don’t know that man.
  • Uta may be a sweetheart on the outside, but she is a cynic at heart with her belief that the world must be forced to be changed. She has seen so much suffering that is the result of conflict, so she wishes for a new status quo where suffering no longer exists. The person who is one of those who understands Uta on a fundamental level is Madara Uchiha of all people since he had a plan not just similar, but with the same goal in mind. That being said, Madara would like to point out there are many flaws with her Uta World plan compared to his own. He would applaud her for getting most of the planet into her Uta World but then, questioned how she will force human change on everyone. He had everyone under the Infinite Tsukoyomi enslaved to their separate dreams where their core desires are met, resulting in a world without conflict. All she did was plop everybody to a place, then expected that they will live a happier life in her reality after she dies. Madara had to point out that she never changed their nature, so if her plan went through, the result is that most of the world's population are trapped in a replica of the real world except they cannot die and that a good percentage of the planet did not join them. It is a new status quo but what she desires remains to be fulfilled. Uta, the only person who could control the world to not end up reverting to suffering, would clearly not be there long enough to accomplish her goal. The point is, at least Madara Uchiha managed to successfully stop conflict across the world for as brief as that was.
    Uta: Huh. I never really thought of it that way.
    Madara: You honestly expected that nobody would fight anymore once you dropped them into a replica of the world?
    Uta: Pretty much.
    Madara: And you thought you could accomplish it as you're being overdosed on mushrooms?
    Uta: I could have done a lot before I died. Let's say... imprison all the bad people as musical notes.
    Madara: Have you thought if you did, your musical score would just disappear once you've inevitably died?
    Uta: Hmm. Also didn't think it that way.
    Madara: Why are you like this?
  • Takuto Maruki had a similar plan as Uta when it came to stopping human suffering by creating a world where suffering no longers exists, even if it meant regressing human growth in the process. Uta heard Maruki talk to her about his old grand plan before the Phantom Thieves of Hearts changed him to no longer have these ambitions. Honestly, if Uta knew more about how to manipulate her dreamland, she would model it similarly to Maruki's idea of paradise. Except for the field with half-naked people, that was a weird thing this taxi driver brought up. On the Phantom Thieves' side, they are a little bit terrified of Uta if she could just drag countless amount of people into her realm where she reigns supreme. To make sure Uta does not become another Maruki, the Phantom Thieves resolved to be friends with Uta to keep a close eye on her. How they managed to befriend Uta was to using Maruki, her most used taxi driver, as the connection then impressed her with their dancing skills. Or at least Joker danced crazily for the sake of everybody. Thank goodness Uta is more accepting than the average person out there.
  • Obito Uchiha has earned the pity of Uta upon knowing that the main reason why he became so messed up was from his trauma and wanting to live in a world where he can be with his friends. As a result of Obito's desires, he has been vulnerable to being manipulated by others just so that he could live a happier life. Although Uta cannot stand a moral high ground against Obito or his manipulators (she is friends with one of them) since she manipulated millions herself, she knows it must be painful for him due to his bloodline having so much love within themselves. So Uta told Obito that she will help him get the happier life he desired, no matter what. Her Determined Expression in this assertion startled Obito with how intense they were, being akin to his own furious desire to change the world. He had to tell her that he was perfectly okay where he was now so that Uta wouldn't do something that would not end well for anybody. Obito just hopes that if Uta does go off the deep end, he could teleport out of her dream with Kamui if she puts him under a spell. Though that might mean finding a sleeping version of himself which... yeah, that scenario sounds too complex to worry about now.
  • Melkor was angered at how Uta is beloved as an idol, believing that all her appeal revolved around being a more mainstream pop version of Japanese singer Ado. Uta does not make bad music as Melkor would admit, but he cannot comprehend that Uta's humanitarian efforts and cheery charisma are what draw people to her. So to prove that she is not that great, Melkor challenged Uta to a singing competition of her Signature Song "New Genesis" all things to take her down a peg. Everyone was flabbergasted Melkor would think this was the best way to discredit someone, though Uta accepted the challenge nevertheless. Everybody from the concert's audience to Melkor's allies never thought anybody could outshine Uta's exhilarating performance, but Melkor laughed evilly before taking the mic. Melkor's singing "New Genesis" caught everybody off guard by how beautiful his singing was, surpassing Uta or anybody's skills by a long shot. Nobody thought he would have a voice of an angel... until one remembers that Melkor WAS an angel whose Start of Darkness began when he tried to outshine his creator's melody with his own. When Melkor's song ended, leaving the audience in Stunned Silence, the first person who clapped was a crying Uta who was touched by Melkor's song. Soon, claps filled the entire concert, leaving Melkor confused as everyone was supposed to wallow in horror for beating their idol in this concert. When Uta placed the winner's medal around his neck, Melkor had the most disdainful expression he could make. He won, though he could tell his fellow Valar were laughing wherever they were watching from much to his annoyance. He may have wanted to be recognized for his music forever ago but being recognized now was not as fulfilling as Melkor would have wanted it to be.
  • Uta has met up with Madoka Kaname in a dream way before meeting her properly in the Pantheon, as Madoka thought Uta was a Magical Girl thanks to her Devil Fruit powers. Where they met was a dream before Uta fatefully arrived at Elgia, so it took a meeting with Madoka in the Pantheon again to remember that. Madoka watched Tot Musica overtake Uta and was not able to do anything about it. When asked why Madoka why did she look way younger instead of the goddess of her dreams, Madoka had to explain how her possessive friend took her goddess powers in the interim of Uta growing up, explaining why Madoka never showed up again to Uta until now. Hearing about Homura Akemi, Uta went to find Homura much to the horror of Madoka. Instead of things going badly though, Uta gave Homura The Glomp, saying that she understands Homura on wanting to protect others. Homura had to awkwardly hug back when an amused Madoka had to nonverbally tell Homura that there was no escaping from this. Uta could have solely taken Madoka's side on this, though she would pursue a more simplistic mindset of being friends with both. Homura and Madoka would say that ironically makes things more complicated.
  • Spongebob Squarepants had one of those times where he wanders into other people's dreams. He managed to enter Uta World while Uta was still awake, leaving the idol confused about how this sea creature could do so. Spongebob just shrugged, saying weird stuff happens to him a lot. The two started talking to each other soon after, with Uta laughing her butt off over stories that Spongebob tells her about the things he has done in his life. The quotes, "SOILED IT" and "Let's get rid of that dividend tax" will live free in her head for the rest of her life. She would want to visit Spongebob one day instead of him visiting her once in a while, though his pineapple being under the sea would ensure that would be very difficult for the obvious Devil Fruit related reasons why.
  • Nagato is one of the few people that Uta is iffy on, which is odd considering how much she puts on faith in the goodness of people. Her conflicting feelings come from that Nagato is he is similar to her in wanting to bring a better world through any means necessary. She would call it a noble goal but Nagato's former idea of peace is to create disasters that would fearmonger the world to prevent international conflict by bringing annual disasters. It is peace but Uta would like to point out that pain is still being seen, while her solution is meant to eliminate pain in its entirety. Though he abandoned this plan, Nagato still sticks to his ideals and called Uta too naive to understand that pain leads to growth. Without pain, people cannot become better people and thus, bring about a world with less pain. Uta pointed out that is some misguided logic because what does it matter for a world with less pain if the pain did not need to exist in the first place, comparing it to breaking someone's arm to affirm to not do things that break their arm. Nagato would contest to Uta that a world without the pain that she desires would just leave people unaware of consequences, bringing more pain in the process. This philosophical battle is not what Uta prepared for, but she is willing to defend her ideals to the bitter end against someone who is equally as convinced of his dream as she is of hers.
  • Yuno Gasai is open about how unhinged her obsession with protecting her love is and Uta finds some good common ground with Yuno because Uta is similarly unhinged too. The difference between Yuno and Uta is that Uta is more protective over everyone who is suffering as a result of the world around them than a sole person and Uta does a way better job at hiding this from others. Yuno presented Uta with a knife, asking that if she (Yuno) was going to cause so many people to suffer, would she kill her then and there? Yuno expected Uta to ponder on this more, though did not expect Uta to point the knife an inch against her eyeball. Uta then said that yes, she would stab Yuno in the face if it meant helping others, though would do her best in making sure that nobody gets hurt first. Giving back the knife to her with the same friendly smile, Yuno realized that this girl was more dangerous than she could currently comprehend. It would be better to be friends with Uta than to piss her off.
  • Sengoku has always been interested in Devil Fruits of how powerful they were and seeing how overpowered Uta's Devil Fruit was finally was what broke it to him that he needed to see if he can replicate Devil Fruits. Sengoku would have based his research on a certain World Government scientist though trying to find that research was like trying to snatch documents from a national leader's hands. It may be more difficult considering Sengoku could not find a villa to bedlam the Devil Fruit from. Sengoku would delve into the Black Market to see if a Devil Fruit was there but had no luck. Sengoku decided to do the simpler thing of asking Uta herself if he could analyze her. Uta must have thought he was a pervert, so she politely declined his advances. She might be welcoming but she isn't dumb, unlike a certain Monkey. Sengoku would frustratedly ask her again to analyze her whenever he could, being forced to wait in one of those hand-shaking lines unhappily.
    Uta: You are Professor... Duke?
    Sengoku: Professor Sengoku.
    Uta: Professor Duke sounds like a cooler name.
    Sengoku: Yes, it does. I'm going to ask again if-
    Sanji: Get out of the line, it's my turn to shake her hand!
    Sanji kicks Sengoku out of the way.
  • Ysera watched Uta since she gained her Devil Fruit powers, meaning that she has been observing the singer for almost her entire life. Obviously, it is due to being the guardian of the Emerald Dream and thus, could reach the dreams of others. Since Uta's dreamland exists even as she is awake, Ysera could go and visit anytime. The reason for Ysera trying to foster a mentor role to Uta is because Ysera sees Uta as her potential future replacement to guard the Emerald Dream. The dragon would admit that it is very manipulative on her end, and would never admit to potentially letting Uta go through her grand plan to see the extent of her capabilities. Uta likes Ysera enough though there is always that nagging feeling that she's being used.
  • Merlina shares Uta's ideals of making a better world though even she is disturbed by how unhinged Uta became with her plan that involved trapping everyone's souls eternally when they all die. She would have been on board with that idea long ago, though has left it all in the past. She asked Uta if she would do her plan again since Uta has a lot of trust from the public even now, concerned with how popular her friend became. Uta said no since she wants to prove to herself that she can help people regularly before attempting to do something as ginormous as that. When a terrified Merlina asked what exactly would be ginormous as almost killing everyone on the planet, Uta said she had a couple of ideas. Uta managed to change the subject and asked Merlina if she would like to be an idol since the mage looks cute enough to fill that role. Merlina wisely answered no.
  • Santa Claus has earned Uta's admiration for being the symbol of spreading joy to others on a holiday that surely everyone on the planet celebrates and definitely didn't ban Christmas. It got to the point that Uta wanted to become like Santa to others, dressing up as Santa along the way. As much as her fans begged for her to wear a more exposed version of the outfit, Uta needed to wear something for the cold (she did allow the leggings off to make them happy). That said, what Uta did not expect was to see reindeer flying through the sky in one of her outdoor streams.
    Uta: Is that Luffy's raccoon dog up there?
    Chopper: Even when I'm flying... I'm still a raccoon dog to everyone...
  • Junko Enoshima seeing how happy everybody is when Uta is around, really thought bringing Uta to despair would surely bring despair to everybody else. Melkor warned Junko that this was going to backfire, shaking his winner's medal to emphasize the point. As with most of his minions, Junko ignored Melkor and proceeded to try bobaring Uta's stream with the most delirious spiteful comments out there against her character and her singing through bots. When Uta responded to the antis accounts, she replied that no matter what she would do her best in making all of them happy by improving herself. This got Junko so tilted that she typed with her real account why was Uta not falling to despair at all. Uta kindly answered that she is already in despair for all those suffering around her and her inability to help everybody out there. Instead of sulking, she chose to instead do her best in living her life than retreat to a hole. Junko and other critics' words are what Uta considers, though nothing good will comes from trying to mold herself to be what she's not. She is going to live her life on her own terms, no matter who hates her for it. The sheer failure of her plan made Junko fall into her despair herself, a thing that she welcomed wholeheartedly. Junko eventually got back at Uta in another way, not by trying to take her down but by tricking the innocent Uta to fall into a trap of her creation that could hopefully bring Uta to despair. It didn't but it did inconvenience her.
    Uta: Let's spotlight places where you can find my viewers watching. Latveria, Gameron, Khura'in, Canada, Dressrosa, Alabasta, Saudi Arabia, Philippines, Ta-
    Uta's channel has been suspended for two weeks.
  • Some of the Beasts of Humanity have gained Uta's admiration both from herself and from themselves. Though the Beasts of Humanity are built to be the literal enemies of humanity's existence, she cannot help but feel that they're much kinder than they let on. The Beasts genuinely have the benevolent goal of helping humanity but their horrific solutions are what makes them dangerous threats. Uta believes in their resolve and thinks that if they could be changed so that they are not as genocidal as their nature has them be, then the Beasts can coexist with humans happily. Not to say Uta is wrong on being able to have beasts change as there have been several Beasts already who have been swayed to fight for humanity, albeit with most sacrificing their Beast titles to do so.
    • Kiara Sessyoin who was a Beast became friends with Uta since like the nun herself, Uta desires a world where humanity loves each other instead of infighting. That said, Kiara Sessyoin wants every human to participate in an orgy, so her and Uta's definitions of an ideal world are different. Sessyoin thinks Uta can accomplish those dreams if she uses her Devil Fruit (Sessyoin called it a Reality Marble) powers correctly. Her manipulations for Uta are, fortunately, not being followed by the busy Uta which is testing Sessyoin's patience at this point.
    • Goetia has nothing but admiration for Uta wanting to make the world a better place for all creatures. That being said, his nature has to make her look down on Uta simultaneously for what he sees as her being too weak mentally to truly bring herself to kill many. He would want to take her Devil Fruit power for himself if that was the case but that would mean having to jump universes using Second Magic to find her Devil Fruit if he kills her. It was already tough to get one timeline in check with an elaborate scheme, so hunting around the ocean for a fruit that gives him a power lesser than his current abilities is asking too much.
    • Uta treats the Beast Tiamat with the same love Tiamat desires from all of her children, except it has to be at distance. Why Uta sees Tiamat in such a light because Uta thinks she is just a mom who coddles her kids too much. Coddling them enough to turn them into abominations, but it is the thought that counts. It could also be that Uta sees Tiamat as a potential maternal figure to look up to after being strapped with multiple paternal figures. But Uta would admit her expectations of Tiamat will probably never be met considering what Tiamat is like. It makes her sad though at least she has her other family who could meet up that affection Uta values.
      Shanks: What's wrong with having two dads?
      Uta: Custody.
  • Vanitas has been hoping that Uta one day would summon Tot Musica again. Considering that Tot Musica is a culmination of humanity's negative emotions, harnessing its power will be something Vanitas will be interested in. Vanitas can imagine himself now, towering over everyone with his newfound powers, utterly annihilating everyone in his way. The thought alone makes him just want to kidnap Uta so that she could resummon Tot Musica. The issue for him is that by all accounts, Tot Musica is dead, destroyed by Monkey D. Luffy and Shanks together. This would deter anybody but like the heroes he's faced, Vanitas holds hope to a high standard. He believes that Uta can manifest Tot Musica again and is planning to have it emerge under the right circumstances. He cannot just make Uta sing as he does not know the exact mechanics of Tot Musica's summoning himself. His research on this subject has managed to reach the Straw Hats' ears, who surely do not want Uta to be caught in the mess Vanitas would like to make.
  • Perfect Trumpet Thingy has shown in Uta's dreams every other week and this is one of the few times Uta lacks tolerance for anything. All that thing does is just say, "You're not perfect," once then completely ruins Uta's sleep by smacking her awake. She admits that she has self-confidence issues but the only thing the Perfect Trumpet Thingy does is remind Uta that she has these issues. She meets with a therapist but it still shows up in her dreams, making her feel like her mental health isn't bettering itself. It got to the point that she will not allow the Perfect Trumpet Thingy to finish its sentence before Uta begins swinging a spear at it. Too bad for her that the moment she strikes the Perfect Trumpet Thingy, she wakes up instantly. Whatever that creature is, it must be stronger than she originally thought considering how she cannot get rid of it.

Oh, the winds will change, I promise you...

My voice will see us through to the end...

    The Jellicle Cats 
The Jellicle Cats, Holy Singing Clowder
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Cats_musical_8341.jpg
These are not all of them, but you get the gist of it.
  • Lesser Deities
  • Symbol: A pair of cat eyes, with the pupils resembling dancers
  • Theme Song: "Jellicle Songs for Jellicle Cats"
  • Alignment: Most of the cats occupy the good and neutral spectrums, with only Macavity being evil.
  • Portfolio: Cat Concerto, Cats Are Superior, "I Am" Song, Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence, All Musicals Are Adaptations, Sung-Through Musical, Excuse Plot
  • Domains: Felines, Music
  • Allies: Firestar and Warrior Cats in general, Bastet, Tom & Jerry, Mrs. Brisby, Fievel Mousekewitz, HerakleKabuterimon, Charlie B. Barkin, Amaterasu, Chibiterasu, Danny & Sawyer, Thomas the Tank Engine, Giovanni & Campanella, Atsuko Kagari
  • Enemies: Macavity to the rest of the Jellicles; Terraformars
  • Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Moriarty, Ratigan (Macavity only)
  • The Jellicle Cats are a very proud feline tribe who gather once a year in an event called the Jellicle Ball, in which several cats compete to be the one chosen to go to the Heaviside Layer and reincarnate in a new Jellicle life. The competition largely consists of the cats singing about themselves and each other, making their arguments as to why they should be chosen. In the end, their ancient leader Old Deuteronomy designates the winner. One particular year saw some unusual events, with the criminal mastermind cat Macavity throwing things into disarray by kidnapping Old Deut, and an old, regretful and shunned cat called Grizabella moving everyone's hearts with her plea to be accepted and be allowed to start anew.
  • So Grizabella got her new Jellicle life and became the youngest member of the tribe, with Jemima and Victoria becoming her honorary big sisters as they insisted on looking after her. Still, Grizabella sometimes disappeared out of their sights, making the young cats panic, only to reappear again unharmed. Jemima and Victoria eventually got curious enough to follow Grizabella and discovered the Pantheon, where Grizabella had gotten herself a temple for her spectacular performance in the last Jellicle Ball. They managed to convince their tribemates to come see the place, which they thought was the Heaviside Layer opening up to all of them (there was some difficulty convincing the older members, but they were eventually overwhelmed by the curiosity of the younger). The Main House noted the new arrivals with satisfaction (theater deities still being relatively rare at the time) and determined they would all share the Cat Concerto trope.
  • This singing and dancing clowder was at first regarded with bewilderment by a lot of felines in the Pantheon due to their strange appearances and culture. ThunderClan leader Firestar, in his usual open-minded manner, decided to be the one to break the ice and welcome the Jellicle Cats, expressing curiosity about their ways. Munkustrap, Old Deut's Number Two and overall a more present authority figure to the Jellicles, hit it off right away with Firestar, both being compassionate, steady and reasonable leaders of their groups. Thanks to their influence, the Jellicles and the Warrior Cats (who tend to mistakenly refer to the Jellicles as JellicleClan and Munkustrap as Munkustar) have pretty good relations with each other, with them realizing they are not so different through their communal living and worship of the Heaviside Layer and StarClan respectively (although a few less tolerant warriors still deride the Jellicles as kittypets). At length the Egyptian goddess Bastet made it clear that the Jellicles filled her with pride because they exemplified the cat's lifestyle perfectly, which led to their acceptance by most of the felines in the Pantheon.
  • Mice and assorted rodents have more to fear with the Jellicles' ascension, but they've also gained a protector in Jennyanydots, a grandmotherly cat who believes in putting vermin to good use rather than exterminating them. She can't help but shake her head at Tom the cat's follies in chasing Jerry, as she thinks Tom has the potential for a Gumbie Cat but keeps squandering it. Jerry the mouse thinks of Jennyanydots as a nice lady who won't eat him, although he doesn't like being put to work by her and will try to get out of it at the smallest chance. Regarding other mice, Jennyanydots holds Mrs. Brisby in high regard for being a devoted mother and being one mouse who is not in need of her guidance to keep from "wanton destroyment". There's also Fievel Mousekewitz, who Jennyanydots dotes on because of his age and going through a lot in his adventures. Although Brisby and Fievel were naturally afraid of the Gumbie Cat at first, and remain afraid of the other, less scrupulous Jellicles, they've come to trust in her protection, and Jennyanydots has made it clear to her fellow Jellicles that those mice are off-limits.
    • Jennyanydots is known for rehabilitating beetles and cockroaches in the same way. Sadly, the ones in the Pantheon may be too much for her to handle, which didn't stop her from attempting to go and scold the Terraformars for how destructive they are. The combined strength of the Jellicles couldn't stop her from doing so either, but fortunately HerakleKabuterimon was nearby and effectively dissuaded the Terraformars from trying anything violent. At least Jennyanydots got proof in HerakleKabuterimon that there were some truly gentlemanly beetles, a compliment that would make the Digimon blush if it had the capacity.
  • Jellicles are pretty stereotypical cats in their dislike of dogs, who they refer to variably as Pekes or Pollicles and with whom the Jellicles supposedly once had an "awefull battle". That said, at least one Jellicle seems to have made a canine friend since entering the Pantheon, and of course it had to be Rum Tum Tugger, the cat who marches to the sound of his own drum. The canine friend is Charlie B. Barkin, who Tugger met at the site of a party when he was out and about one night looking for something new to do. The two got along quickly, both being mischievous party animals and somewhat hedonistic but ultimately well-meaning. The Jellicles don't entirely approve of this friendship, but given it's Tugger, they find it pointless to try to put a stop to it since he'll just get up to a different brand of trouble.
  • Still on the topic of canines, Chibiterasu once blundered into their territory and Jemima and Victoria found him so adorable that they wanted to keep him, despite disapproval from their elders. Then his mother Amaterasu came to get him, and the Jellicles, just to make sure she knew they weren't cowed by a mutt, claimed they were totally holding Chibiterasu hostage. Luckily Amaterasu had offerings of fish and meat, which as it happens is just the ticket to getting in the Jellicles' good graces and they let Chibiterasu go without further hassle. The Jellicles only later learned they could have potentially pissed off a sun goddess, but if anything the fact that they got away with it made them more puffed-up. Despite everything, Chibiterasu keeps occasionally dropping by as he has taken a liking to Jemima and Victoria, which Amaterasu seems okay with, presumably knowing the Jellicles wouldn't truly try to hurt either her or her son (they highly appreciate her offerings besides).
  • Gus is esteemed as one of the oldest cats among the Jellicles, as well as for his apparently quite successful acting career. This has made him highly admired and respected by Danny and Sawyer, two cats who are in the acting business themselves. Danny and Sawyer have good relationships with all the Jellicle cats, as they all have a fondness for dancing and singing out their emotions, but it's with Gus that they have the closest friendship. Danny in particular drinks in every bit of advice that Gus dispenses and doesn't even seem to mind Gus' occasional crabbiness at how young cats these days wouldn't have what it takes to thrive in his time. Sawyer in turn has hit it off with Gus' usual minder Jellylorum, a pragmatic, no-nonsense, but warm sort of cat not unlike Sawyer herself.
  • Skimbleshanks is, in his mind and the minds of all the Jellicles, the one who makes sure all the trains run properly. In truth, he probably just hunts for vermin inside the carriages. Either way, Skimbleshanks is very cheerful and enthusiastic about his work and is well-employed at the House of Travel, playing a part in making all the trains more pleasant to ride in. This puts him on good terms with all the train-related deities, particularly Thomas the Tank Engine after an incident where the locomotive complained of an "itch" in its insides and Skimbleshanks took care of it. Skimbleshanks also has a predilection for the young boy-cats Giovanni and Campanella and their Afterlife Express, and believes them to have been especially blessed by the Heaviside Layer. Giovanni and Campanella don't know about that, but they enjoy listening to Skimbleshanks go on about trains at any rate.
  • Mr. Mistoffelees is one of the tribe's few magical cats; the twins Coricopat and Tantomile, as well as Macavity, have similar supernatural abilities. Such abilities are often of help to the tribe in spotting danger or thwarting Macavity, as seen when Mistoffelees saved Old Deut by magicking him away from Macavity's grasp. That said, Mistoffelees sometimes suffers from lack of confidence that his abilities aren't good enough. This causes him to admire Atsuko Kagari, who remains cheerfully determined to become a great witch despite everything pointing to her being inept at it. Atsuko herself is wowed by Mistoffelees' magic and thinks he's something like the cat equivalent of Shiny Chariot, for which she praises him quite effusively, much to Mistoffelees' embarrassment.
  • The elusive Macavity has reputedly broken every human law, including that of gravity (this is according to the Jellicles, who do have a knack for the melodramatic). He's probably not even considered a Jellicle anymore (if he ever was), but either way he's ascended with them and keeps bringing them problems and shame, especially around the time of the Jellicle Ball. Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer sometimes associate with him, which somehow hasn't gotten them kicked out of the tribe. Macavity draws comparisons to Moriarty and Ratigan due to his status as a Diabolical Mastermind, being essentially the cat version of them. Seeing as how the last time he tried messing with the Jellicles on his own didn't go down so well for him, he thinks it wise to associate with those fellow masterminds. Things can get pretty strained between the three though, especially between Macavity and Ratigan, seeing as the latter is, well, a rat, leading to there being a bitter rivalry between the two, which Moriarty can be bothered to smooth over only when necessary for their teamwork.

Demigods

    Cacofonix 
Cacofonix, God of Dreadful Musicians (Assurancetourix, Malacoustix, Stopthemusix)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/cacofonixprofile300px.png
  • Rank: Demigod (Quasideity most of the time, Lesser God after taking the Magic Potion, but also has the ability to generate rain when he sings).
  • Symbol: His Lyre.
  • Alignment: Neutral Good.
  • Portfolio: The Bard, Brown Note, Dreadful Musician, Rain Dance, Schoolmarm, Nice Guy, Butt-Monkey
  • Domains: Musicality, Weather, Teachers, Fantastical Jobs
  • Heralds: Justforkix
  • Allies: Asterix, Obelix and Dogmatix, Getafix, Unhygienix, Chief Vitalstatistix (his village's Chief), Cleopatra VII, Leliana, Edward Chris von Muir, Elan, The Smurfs (as long as he doesn't sing), Most good-aligned teachers.
  • Enemies: Marcus Junius Brutus, Emperor Nero, Red Saber, Vulcan, Roman Gods, Zinyak, Prime Minister Honest, Jafar, Ember McLain, Music Meister.
  • Worthy Opponent: Julius Caesar,
  • Good Terms With: Elvis Presley, Any good or neutral-aligned rock musicians.
  • Opposes: All deities that hate music, Any deity that uses music for evil, All evil teachers, All deities that think his music is dreadful such as Tintin and Captain Haddock.
  • Banned from: Hall of Fire and Heat.
  • Cacofonix is a local bard from Asterix's village, a schoolteacher and a member of the Village's Council along with Getafix and Chief Vitalstatistix. He likes to sing, thinks he's a genius singer, and tries to sing a song of courage to inspire his fellow villagers. However, the other villagers know he doesn't sing very well and only like him when he doesn't try to sing. When he sings, he drives away all the local animals and any patrolling Romans. His singing can also cause storms and thunderbolts to randomly appear. The villagers sometimes shut him up with a hammer or a "fresh" fish; he doesn't mind he only complains if they did it when he didn't intend to sing.
  • One day, after a meeting of the Village Council in Vitalstatistax's temple, Cacofonix came across a tree with a temple at the top. It reminded him of his own house on top of a tree, and he decided to take a look and move in. Afterward, he got an invite to perform in front of the musicians of the Pantheon. Cacofonix was told that it was for the position of the God of Bards; however, the truth was that it was to see if Cacofonix's singing was bad enough to qualify for the position of Dreadful Musician. Cacofonix started to sing a song, and by the time he had finished singing, there was a thunderstorm inside the House of Musicality, he had caused everyone to run away from the house (except for the rock musicians, who seemed to like it). All the musician gods agreed to make him the God of Dreadful Musicians and soundproof his temple.
  • Upon learning that their old friend had ascended, Asterix and Obelix went to congratulate him on joining the Pantheon, Vitalstatistix would have come with Asterix and Obelix but he fell off his shield again. However, Obelix accidentally pushed down his tree, destroying his temple. Cacofonix was angry because he wasn't even singing this time. While his temple was being replaced, he went out to the Hall of Trees and Flowers for some inspiration for his next song.
  • While Cacofonix is peeved he didn't get the title of the God of Bards, he admits its current holder Leliana is a worthy candidate. His meeting with Leliane led him to meet fellow bards like Elan and Edward. Elan and Cacofonix can relate to each other for being understated bards with hidden depths. While Cacofonix is initially surprised to learn Edward is a crown prince who disguised himself as a bard, much like Elan, he too has come to be impressed by Edward's accomplishments. The bards view each other respectfully; their enemies would fear the day all four of them would team up to fight a common enemy.
  • As he's a respected schoolteacher, he's also been seen in the House of School teaching lessons — except for music, for obvious reasons. After Cacofonix made several requests to hold music lessons for eager students, the House of School decided to let him teach music classes in his temple. The students are made up of other dreadful singers and musicians like him. This arrangement allows them to play their dreadful music without disturbing the other deities in the Pantheon due to the previously mentioned soundproofing around Cacofonix's temple.
    • Whenever a music teacher cannot save a deified student's awful singing, deities who want to take music lessons are referred to Cacofonix's class. His students don't mind his singing (except for Conan, who has perfect pitch despite his lack of singing ability). Despite being from different backgrounds, they like being in his class because he and their classmates don't judge their singing ability like their respective friends do. They also feel sorry for Cacofonix sometimes when he gets beaten or tied up for his singing.
    • Even the bard was surprised by some of his music students' lack of musical ability. Ed's attempt at playing the violin caused the paint to peel off the temple and destroy Ed's bike. Cacofonix suggested to the tall Ed that he stick with the flute. He pities Squidward for the trouble he had trying to teach the residents of Bikini Bottom with the squid's clarinet playing. On the other end of the spectrum, Coop, and Team Chaotix were among his star students, as they all used their terrible singing to defeat their foes. They, along with Cacofonix, give speeches to the other students on how not to be discouraged if someone doesn't like their singing and how to use their "gift" to their advantage.
  • Since awful singing can break her musical mind control, Ember McLain doesn't like the Bard all too well. She hopes her enemy Danny Phantom doesn't team up with him whenever his perky friend is unavailable to foil her schemes. The Music Meister, another evil musician who uses his singing to control people, is also wary around the bard. Since loud sonic noises can cancel his mind control, the bard's awful singing can theoretically might do the same effects to his controls. While there is no evidence yet if Cacofonix can break any mind control with his singing, his general resistance to being mind controlled (especially when he drinks a potion) makes him an ideal candidate for entering the Hall of Mind Control.
  • Barring his musical abilities, Cacofonix is generally viewed as a nice guy. With that said, he hates Roman tyrants for trying to conquer his village and other villages. His most hated enemy is Brutus because Brutus had his men burn down Cacofonix's village. Despite this, he has a bit of respect with Julius Caesar as a worthy opponent, just like the rest of his village, it helps that Caesar that had his men rebuild Cacofonix's village after Brutus had it destroyed. He also hates tyrants like Emperor Nero and Red Saber for attacking their own people, causing fires in their ruling city and worse of all, playing music badly. He dislikes the Roman Gods because they are the gods of his enemies: the Romans.
    • Cacofonix also hates evil chancellors like Prime Minister Honest and Jafar because of the time he was called to save a princess by ending a drought, or she would have been sacrificed to her gods. This was planned by her Kingdom's Vizer to make him the ruler of India. Thankfully, neither Honest nor Jafar have plans for Cacofonix. They both think he's too much of a nuisance to get any use out of him.
  • Cacofonix's ability to create rain when he sings has caused him to be banned from the Hall of Fire and Heat to prevent any fire gods from being extinguished. Occasionally, he has been called to sing to put out wildfires or cure droughts in temples. These incidents had led to a friendship with other good-allied weather deities — as long as he didn't sing. This also causes the X-Men deities to think that their friend Storm, who is a mutant that controls the weather, has finally ascended.
  • He has been mistaken for Elvis, and Elvis has been mistaken for him. It's likely because Cacofonix's red cape and hairstyle bares similarities to the King of Rock and Roll. This mixup led him to sing at one of Elvis' concerts, which caused some concerts to get washed out. Eventually, Cacofonix and Elvis met and sorted out the mistake. Cacofonix then said this will be the last time people would be mistaken for other people, only for Cacofonix to mistake Sean Connery and James Bond for a Roman spy from his world, the Druid Dubbelosix.
  • Cacofonix has been seen making friends with the Smurfs. He has discussed teaching methods with Papa Smurf. He is trying to teach Brainy about some subjects like history and maths, but it always ends with Brainy being thrown out of the temple for being rude and annoying. He likes the rest of Smurfs, and they like having Cacofonix around as long as he doesn't sing. The storms he creates are a threat to the Smurfs due to their small size; that and his singing is just as bad as Harmony Smurf's singing.

    Ludwig van Beethoven 
Ludwig van Beethoven, Divine Deaf Composer (Beethes, Lud)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/399px_beethoven.jpg
As a Classicaloid
  • Demigod (Lesser God as a Classicaloid)
  • Symbol: His signature and the first few notes of Symphony No. 5
  • Signature Song: Symphony No. 5 in C Minor
  • Alignment: True Neutral
  • Portfolio: Classical Music, The Perfectionist, Orchestral Bombing
  • Domains: Music, Talent
  • Allies: Bill & Ted, Takeru Tenkuji, Gunvolt, Carl Fredricksen, Miguel Rivera, Hiro Nakamura
  • Creeped Out by: Alex Delarge, Matt Hardy
  • Annoyed at: The Warner Siblings, The Koopalings (especially Ludwig von Koopa)
  • Opposes: Emperor Sheev Palpatine
  • Broken Pedestal: Napoleon Bonaparte
  • Other Relations: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
  • Beethoven certainly wasn't one of the first composers of classical music, but he was among those who were highly reknowned for it. He made some pieces of music before he suddenly started to go deaf, something that shook him greatly to the point of near-suicide. Luckily, he had plenty of resolve in himself and from there, he continued working on music, putting together a series of pieces that can be referred to as symphonies. Much of his music (or snippets of it) has been integrated into multiple other works of fiction long after his death and these aforementioned snippets are very well-known.
  • There have been a handful of instances where Beethoven not only appears much different from normal, but his attitude becomes highly unusual and at times, bombastic. This alternate form of his was identified as a Classicaloid, a kind of Artificial Human that also has an odd power known as Mujik, which results when they are triggered by something significant. Depending on the composition that plays, Beethes (one of the nicknames used to differentiate this form from his normal self) can make anything happen, including making giants robots appear or having penguins show up all of a sudden.
  • It's no surprise that Beethoven's music has many fans of different kinds. For a lack of a better term, he was repulsed to find out that Alex Delarge, one such fan, was not only depraved, but has had a history of twisting around beloved musical pieces to take on an ironically dark tone, despite Delarge not actually changing anything significant about the music's composition to begin with. Beethoven has made is explicitly clear that he would not acknowledge Delarge liking his music in any way whatsoever and has avoided him no matter what.
    • Another person he's unsure of is the wrestler Matt Hardy. No, scratch that it's BROKEN Matt Hardy he's weirded out with due to BROKEN Matt's obsession with green beans, his faithful drone V-1 and such. He does respect Matt's wife, Queen Rebecca, for performing the 3rd Movement of the Moonlight Sonata for Matt's matches.
  • He is among the handful of Eyecons that's used by Takeru Tenkuji in order to fight off villains. Fitting enough for Beethoven's profession, that particular Eyecon uses music to attack an enemy and reflect any music-based attack attempted by that foe. After getting over the initial weirdness of being used as a weapon to fight off villains (and Takeru found it equally bizarre that Beethoven had an alternate form that uses music to unleash strange occurances), Beethoven got along with Takeru.
  • After hearing about the House of Music having problems with the Koopalings being named after famous musicians, Beethoven wanted to get to the bottom of this, especially after finding out one of the Koopalings was named after him. Beethoven eventually confronted them while they were attempting to steal some instruments, with Ludwig von Koopa being the one who decided to stop him just for fun. The Koopalings were surprised that the famed composer had a Classicaloid form that allowed him to fight back to some degree, resulting in the Koopalings getting driven out and swearing that it won't be the last time that they'll see Beethoven.
  • Napoleon Bonaparte was someone whom Beethoven used to look up to back then until learning about Napoleon's imperial ambitions. Beethoven ended up destroying the first page of Symphony No. 3 while trying to cross out Bonaparte from the page. The composer is able to relate to a number of deities such as Gunvolt, Carl Fredricksen, and Miguel Rivera who used to look up to someone only to discover their idol was less than ideal, even if the circumstances were far more fantastical (and at times fatal) than that of Beethoven's own. He also bonds with Miguel over their shared love for music, with Miguel happy to have a better role model who helps him in his ambitions.
  • Because of his experience with Napoleon, Beethoven doesn't like anyone who takes over a republic and uses it to achieve their dictatorial ambitions. He has a strong hatred for Emperor Palpatine as a result, and though he doesn't have enough power to fight him personally, he is happy to compose songs to celebrate anyone who opposes him.
  • His meeting with Yakko, Wakko, & Dot is something Beethoven would rather not talk about. While that version ended up getting the inspiration for Symphony No. 5, it was more he got annoyed into writing up that composition and he'd rather not go near the Warner siblings following their meeting. He was also very weirded out by Wakko's ability to burp to the tune of various classical arrangements.
  • Time-travel is something that Beethoven is aware of to some degree thanks to an encounter with Bill & Ted when the latter two were searching for historical figures (with Beethoven among them) to help with a high-school history project. The composer had a really weird visit to the House of Time and Temporality following ridiculous rumors involving wrestling. He then found out that a strange time-space flaw resulted in him being a wrestler known as Ludwig van Bonecrusher in one universe and many concerts with other composers were settled out through wrestling matches. It certainly perplexed him when he found out about that.
  • Some deities sometimes visit him to showcase their skills in playing one of his compositions. Among those who have done such, Beethoven was pleasantly surprised by Jill Valentine and Rebecca Chambers' performance in playing Moonlight Sonata. The same can't be said for when Chris Redfield tried to play the aforementioned composition (and by extension, anyone that isn't good with music in general). Beethoven later found out that Moonlight Sonata needed to be played in order to solve a puzzle at Spencer Mansion, hence why Jill, Claire, and Chris know about the song.
    • On the subject of unusual applications of Moonlight Sonata, Earthworm Jim somehow recalled hearing that piece a couple of times one of his journeys, mainly when he was racing Psy-Crow at the end and when the earthworm disguised himself as a blind cave salamander earlier on. Beethoven finds it weird whenever Moonlight Sonata plays and sees Earthworm Jim disguised as a salamander.
  • There have been more than a few instances of the first few notes of his Symphony No. 5 work playing suddenly whenever misfortune of some kind befalls a deity. More often than not, the misfortune that occurs isn't that drastic, but enough to really upset someone. By contrast, if good luck happens to a deity, then it's possible that parts of Ode to Joy could play suddenly. Beethoven himself isn't immune to these instances.

  • Suzu Naito's mother cultivated in her a love for music, so when she died saving a child from drowning, it impacted Suzu to the point where she could no longer bring herself to sing. Filled with grief, resentment for her mother for "abandoning" her and low self-esteem, Suzu discovered the online platform U, and through the guise of her beautiful, pink-haired, princess-like avatar named Belle, discovered her voice again, becoming the top musical idol online. At the height of her popularity, one of her concerts was violently interrupted by the Dragon, a user with a monstrous avatar. Despite that inauspicious meeting, Suzu was intrigued by the Dragon and the two grew close. Meanwhile, a vigilante group called the Justices wanted to expose the Dragon's real identity, but Suzu was determined not to let them and managed to find him out before them so she could warn him. It turned out the Dragon was Kei, a boy slightly younger than Suzu, and that he and his younger brother Tomo were being abused by their father ever since their mother passed away; Kei became the Dragon to vent his anger and become a hero to Tomo. As Kei had no faith that anyone cared enough to help him and his brother, Suzu unveiled her identity to U to show Kei that she meant it, found the boys' location and stood up to their father. This made Suzu understand her mother's sacrifice and she became able to sing as herself again.
  • One of Belle's otherwise peaceful concerts was interrupted by Love Machine, which was mistaken by Belle and everyone else as a particularly violent user. The Dragon engaged in combat with it and while he put up a good fight, he eventually got trounced due to Love Machine's fast-learning capacities and having already consumed a number of avatars in the audience. As Love Machine was about to do the same to the Dragon, the latter was saved in the nick of time by Dukemon and UlforceV-dramon of the Royal Knights, who defeated Love Machine and sent it back to the Pantheon where it belongs. Belle was very understanding and grateful when Dukemon apologized and took responsibility for the failure to keep Love Machine from invading their world, while the Dragon was angry and wanted to pick a fight with these supposed knights who couldn't do their job right. Ulforce then lightly taunted the Dragon, saying he might look and fight like a Digimon but why would he go against what is effectively an antivirus. Belle and Dukemon defused the situation and Belle quickly changed the subject by asking what Dukemon meant by "their world", and Dukemon figured he could just show them the Pantheon, also to make up for everything that happened.
  • A singing idol like Belle was bound to be especially well-received in the House of Musicality, which helped her with setting up venues for her concerts in the Pantheon with the help of the House of Machinery and Technology. Thus Belle's fame spread all across the Pantheon and Suzu eventually got a proper place to call her own in the celestial realms, which also serves as a place where she can live with Kei and Tomo and make sure they're doing okay. Kei in particular is rather anxious about leaving Suzu alone in the Pantheon and effectively serves as her bodyguard to protect her from any incidents similar to what happened with Love Machine; apparently he's working hard to become even stronger so he's not bested by any malignant programs again. However, all of Suzu's friends were eventually made aware of Suzu's new status; her best friend and manager Hiroka has been a great in helping her navigate this new development.
  • Few people fail to notice that the story of Belle and the Dragon is a very modern take on Beauty and the Beast, and the fairy tale couple especially took an interest when Suzu ascended and brought Kei along. Belle and Beast took the initiative to meet with Suzu to warmly extend their welcomes to the Pantheon, praising her for her strength in refusing to be cowed by the Dragon's monstrous form and blustering temper, and instead seeking to understand him and help him through his torment. Suzu loves Belle and Beast for their kindness to her and heroism, but can't help but blush at the implications of her and Kei mirroring one of the greatest romantic couples of all time; even the whole ballroom dance she did with the Dragon is a recreation of one of Belle and Beast's most iconic romantic moments. If any of this has occurred to Kei, he hasn't shown it; he mostly seems to admire Beast for his strength and ability to freely shapeshift between his beast and human forms in the Pantheon, and wishes the form of the Dragon wasn't restricted to the virtual world.
    • Suzu and Kei unfortunately also had their equivalent to Belle and Beast's archenemy Gaston: Justin, a muscular, blonde warrior clad in white and with a winning smile, who enjoyed great popularity all around U to the point of being sponsored by many corporations and having many followers who did his bidding. As with Gaston, Justin's good looks and incredible reputation hid how morally rotten and self-centered he was deep down; he was obsessed with hunting down the Dragon for, according to him, "disturbing the peace", and expose his identity to U, and was all too willing to do the same to Belle for refusing to tell him where the Dragon was. Naturally Gaston himself relates very heavily to Justin and thinks the reports about him are heavily biased against him, and considers the Dragon to truly be as monstrous as he looks and Belle to have been put under his spell somehow. Suzu and Kei worry a little that Gaston has shown himself to be psychotic enough to be willing to hurt them in real life to avenge Justin, although there is a saving grace in that Gaston is quite tech-dumb and doesn't seem to understand the concept of Internet avatars; when one of his allies tried telling him, he stubbornly refused to believe a couple of skinny and motherless misfits could be an angelic beauty and a giant monster. His dismissive attitude sort of ticks off Suzu and Kei... but they suppose it's better this way, for their safety.
  • Suzu's status as someone who lost her mother and her actions in comforting Kei and Tomo and shielding them with her own body from being further abused by their father mean she is held in high regard by the Heroic Protectors of Family, who count her as a minor member. Suzu feels honored, though she couldn't help but wonder if she truly deserves it after spending so many years ungraciously believing her mother had abandoned her because she cared more for the safety of someone else's child. In that regard, the Protectors assure her that those feelings became entirely a thing of the past after her confrontation with Kei and Tomo's father taught her what her mother's thought process was. They not only didn't hold it against her, but know for a fact that her mother doesn't either. It gives Suzu peace of mind to know she is forgiven for her once ungracious feelings. Disturbing that peace of mind are the Protectors' malicious analogues, the Child Abuse Supporters, who accuse Suzu of meddling with family matters that weren't hers and failing to understand that he was grieving his wife in his own way. Apart from the fact that the Child Abuse Supporters are a bunch of repulsive sadists who have no true care for their charges, Suzu is not alone in thinking the father's circumstances justify Kei and Tomo having to suffer so much pain at the hands of someone who's supposed to care for them.
  • Suzu's role in healing the wounds of a broken family is something she shares in common with Tohru Honda, who did the same on a larger scale to the Sohmas, a large clan which had 14 of its members carry the Zodiac curse, the effects of which had significantly impacted them psychologically. Although it threw Suzu for a loop that Tohru was willing to reach out even to the Sohmas' main abuser, the head of the family Akito, making Suzu wonder if she's not giving Akito too much of the benefit of the doubt even if Akito also suffered horrors in her childhood. Although since Akito seems genuinely regretful, Suzu is willing to put her reservations aside, see how things go and just enjoy spending time with the incredibly kind-hearted Tohru. She also wants to help out the likes of The Breakfast Club's members move on from their terrible relations with their parents in a healthy manner. While she got along with Andrew, Claire, and Brian well, and is supportive in helping them learn to be better people as well, Allison with how neglectful her parents were made her a difficult person to interact with, given Allison's overall reclusiveness, something she wants to help grow out of, and John Bender was generally an unpleasant man to talk to, though the other students did make sure that John didn't try to push any of her buttons or get too uncomfortable, but Suzu thinks there's still hope for him to get past his parental abuse and his problematic attitude.
  • Socially awkward, phoneaholic teen Kayla Day is one of Belle's most enthusiastic fans in the Pantheon and one of the first to become her friend. Kayla spends so much time listening to music on her phone, it was only a matter of time before she ran across Belle's work. Still, what most draws Kayla to Belle may not be her music (which is saying something as Kayla usually praises it as fantastic and otherworldly in a series of reviews she's taken to posting) so much as the fact that the glamorous Belle's true identity is a shy and mousy teen girl much like herself, and one who also turned to the Internet to cope with her personal issues. This made Kayla relatively brave about aproaching Suzu at the House of School, and as Suzu also saw they had much in common in the ensuing conversation, they became pretty good friends.
  • The Symphogears, who are essentially armored warrior singers, became fast friends with Suzu after Hibiki heard about how hard Suzu worked to save Kei and Tomo from their abusive father despite barely knowing them at the time. Given Hibiki likes to reach out to everyone and understand them, even her enemies, she really likes seeing that kind of all-loving behavior in Suzu. Chris saw that she had something of both Suzu and Kei in herself as she also used to resent her parents for dying and leaving her to be exploited, and she hated singing, albeit for unrelated reasons (her Symphogear was very destructive); however, thanks to Hibiki's selflessness she overcame her issues and became a hero who fights alongside Hibiki and Tsubasa. Tsubasa is an experienced and popular idol and has accrued her fair share of heartbreak from it, so she is more than willing to mentor Suzu on her musical path to ensure she doesn't suffer as much (it seems to her like the situation with her mother and Kei and having her true identity exposed to millions of Internet strangers was more than enough).
  • Another musician with a similar story to Suzu is Sonia Strumm, a famous pre-teen Idol Singer who composed songs for her ailing mother, who unfortunately died soon after Sonia became famous. Her manager took advantage of her songs to get rich, despite them having been composed purely out of love for her mother, which was more than Sonia could handle as this made her turn to villainy, although she got better after Geo reached out to her. Given Sonia's relationship to her mother is strongly tied to her music, much like with Suzu, they could easily understand each other, and Suzu imagines she might have reacted similarly if her music was used so cynically.
  • Suzu spends a significant amount of her time in virtual worlds as Belle, so she is acquainted with a lot of the digital denizens in the Pantheon and is generally well-liked by them. That first contact with the Royal Knights led to Suzu befriending many of the Digidestined and Tamers even in real life, as well as the digital critters themselves. Kei gets along fine with them as well, but is still very aloof towards the Royal Knights since he thinks they give off the same vibes as Justin and his Justices; seemingly good guys who are actually self-righteous and downright malignant in practice. It doesn't help that many incarnations of the Royal Knights have a tendency towards excessive loyalty to a questionable cause or master, and it definitely didn't help that when UlforceV-dramon proposed they appoint one of them to serve as security for Belle's concerts, LordKnightmon coldly stated the Royal Knights were not for safeguarding "insignificant amusements", which led Dukemon to hold back the Dragon from striking the pink knight in a rage, but Suzu understands the scale in which the Pantheon operates and conceded he had a point. This just makes Kei more determined to become stronger for Suzu, though she's worried he's aiming for a level of power that's impossible for a human to achieve.
  • While Belle's popularity is nothing to sniff at even in the Pantheon, now she has to contend with a longer-running virtual celebrity who quite frequently surpasses her in success and has many more years of experience on her, that being Miku Hatsune. Unlike Belle, Miku is purely a digital being, but that doesn't mean she isn't bursting with personality or talent of her own, and she is also one of the first virtual celebrities ever, something Belle can't help but respect. Belle's attitude towards Miku is that it's fun to have something of a rival (a very friendly one, mind) who motivates her to work harder at her craft. Miku seems to enjoy the additional competition as well. That mild rivalry doesn't stop them from colaborating on a song once in a while, or even holding joint concerts together.
