  • Millions of years old, and said to shape the sea, land and sky, are the Weather Trio of the Hoenn region. It is said that if Kyogre and Groudon would to endlessly battle, the effects on the environment would reach apocalyptic levels, their opposing powers bringing drastic change on weather from heavy rainfall to burning sunlight, floods and earthquakes, leaving everything in ruin. And if many cried out for an end to the destruction, Rayquaza would respond, descending from the heavens and breaking the feud between the two of them.
  • Applies to some/all of them
    • Though they border on Eldritch Abomination, they do not come out of nowhere and have recognizable shapes. Kyogre and Groudon appear to be based on the legendary Biblical leviathan and behemoth, while Rayquaza has elements of the more obscure Biblical ziz. Kyogre being a gigantic cetacean has led it to find a kindred spirit with Moby-Dick, which was only fueled by Captain Ahab trying to harpoon the former. Groudon looks like a theropod or T-Rex, which may be why it has a soft spot for Rexie. Rayquaza resembles a Chinese dragon, so it tends to get along with benevolent dragons. It's also why the Dovahkiin in on its hitlist for seeing the legendary as a fearsome, threatening dragon.
    • Unsurprisingly Kyogre and Groudon don't get along as the two have been feuding for supremacy since before civilization begun, and they really don't care for Team Aqua or Magma for trying to exploit their power to expand the sea/land. Ultimately, neither did Archie or Maxie. To bolster its advantage Kyogre allied with Poseidon, god of the seas...and earthquakes, all to beat Groudon at its own game. The Ground type was out of luck when denied Gaea's endorsement, who declared their squabbling "hopelessly childish". Instead she gained an alliance of convenience with Rayquaza, who both serves as deterrent to the vengeance of her ex-husband of the sky, and to wrangle the chaos of forces of nature into order.
    • With their chaotic or high-minded personalities, the trio only really agree on three shared "Poké-foes"; Hunter J (who sees them as profit margins no matter how important they are), Ghetsis (who's incapable of not exploiting any Pokémon he can) and Lysandre (who'd all but destroy the world). Archie and Maxie learned their lesson so they only get contempt. Due to their power and frivolous/aloof nature, they only have a few notable connections with other Pokémon or those within the Pokémon series. Kyogre finds Manaphy adorable due to being the Prince of the Sea and a smaller, nicer version of itself. Rayquaza is naturally revered by the Draconid Zinnia and the help it gave her, though it still doesn't see her as worthy of riding it. On the other side of the coin, Rayquaza and Giratina are often seen arguing over how the world should be balanced, as Giratina can be rather nasty in doing so. Lugia straight up dislikes Kyogre for being a chaotic Lord of the Ocean while it chooses to keep itself in the deep of the sea to contain its stormy power. Rayquaza naturally approves of Lugia.
    • The three hold Hexxus in contempt due to being a destructive force of pollution and natural degradation. Hexxus immediately called Kyogre and Groudon hypocrites as they cause a lot of environmental destruction with their fights, only for them to defend their actions by saying they balance it out by expanding and developing their element for future generations, and they do not cause environmental cataclysm just for its own sake. Rayquaza isn't going to award them any brownie points, however. Despite being natural forces Captain Planet and the Planeteers consider Kyogre and Groudon headaches, who serve as key reminders just because something's natural and necessary doesn't make it benevolent.
    • There is very few gods that the trio fear of, but one of the gods that frighten them is the Gaming god, Chuggaaconroy, who actually captured all three gods in one of his Let's Play; especially Groudon since Chuggaa used a Nest Ball, as the hods in the House of Knowledge noted that the chances of that succeeding was around less than 1%. They were even more amazed to find Kyogre being captured with a Net Ball and Rayquaza by Chuggaa being Mexican. On a similar note, of them were pleased with RoahmMythril, who didn't even bother to capture them and defeated them with a team of non-evolved, first-stage Pokémon. They are straight-up mortified by the Flood due to their ability to infect water, and are more than capable of possessing Kyogre due to their nature.
    • Lilo and Stitch are interested by Kyogre and Groudon because they're the "god mode" versions of two notable experiments, Yin and Yang (or Experiments 501 and 502). Unlike them and despite what Jumba feared, Yin and Yang find their water and lava powers complimentary and their one true home is developing the Hawaiian Islands more. Rayquaza hoped this example would lead the other two members of the Weather Trio to trust each other more...only for the two to argue over which experiment did a better job. At least, that's their initial opinion. Over time they wondered if Lilo had a point, and the two decided to communicate with Neith. One of the primordials who weaved creation, they were interested in learning more on developing the world through their respective element. They aren't on good enough terms to not start fighting with each other in Neith's company, but almost no-one could.
  • Applies to Kyogre only
    • The Sea Basin Pokémon is a mighty Sea Monster who expands the seas by bringing about a rain. It is a bestial equivalent to Chaac, Mayan god of rain, and if for whatever reason Drizzle or Primordial Sea is denied or replaced by Groudon's ability Chaac will be there to back it up. Being a stormbringer, the Sea King benefits a lot from working alongside the legendary. When it was pointed out that Sea King is evil, Kyogre stated it does not care as it and Groudon are forces of nature, unbound by morals. Kyogre gives equal boons to Arthur Curry as he is a guardian of the seas. However it will help out his anti-hero at best brother Orm, as while the two disagree with each other Ocean Master wants to protect the ocean. This said, Kyogre recognized Aquaman as the rightful ruler and with Poseidon already bonded to Lugia Kyogre chose Aquaman as his partner.
    • The Kraken mistook Kyogre for a sperm whale at first when it swam into the tentacled monster's territory, and began trying to constrict it. The two appear to have an ego about this conflict as Kyogre refuses to accept it can be bested by another Sea Monster, though there isn't that level of heat between them that can be found with Groudon. In spite of the Kraken being Poseidon's pet, he allows the two to fight each other as they seem to enjoy getting into a "wrestling contest". An even greater matter of ego is Kyogre's anger at SCP-169; it cannot stand the sight of a Sea Monster so continental in sizenote  its sleep murmurs can cause earthquakes, as such a being can make it feel inadequate.
    • The great and powerful Kyogre resembles a killer whale, like the Orca. The two get along, as Kyogre can sympathize to his path of revenge for the death of his mate and unborn calf. Being a mighty Sea Monster, the legendary finds itself relating more to other great sea monsters. Asides from Moby-Dick, the Pokémon likes to go out for hunting expeditions with Monstro. Due to his experience with the latter Pinocchio is more than a little bit scared of Kyogre, though it doesn't think it would be much of a meal. Kyogre can show friendliness to sea divers who could be easily intimidated like the Diver, though this is more it being curious about his explorations of the deep sea than real sympathy.
    • There are a couple gods of sort that are associated with water, who also got Kyogre's attention. One of these was Cthulhu, though he lurks in rather than governs the ocean. And like Kyogre waking him up is a very bad idea. However Cthulhu's true arising when the stars are right would bring a far less negotiable apocalypse, and Kyogre feels the Great Old One violates its ocean space anyway. Sobek, a proper god of water (rivers/the Nile), found a lot more in common with them being mercurial, neither good nor evil forces of water. While not a full-on god, Chaos and Kyogre would find some kinship in their powers and expressions of wrath. Kyogre also is a friend of might sea monsters Lagiacrus and Caedeus, though this is more due to their similar nature than anything.
    • Despite being a jerkass god, Kyogre does admit the Kraeken are creepy and sully the water, though this could just be distrust of the Eldritch Ocean Abyss. It and the Nuckeleeve don't get along either because Kyogre can easily whip up fresh, running water...and again, even Kyogre is disturbed by the worst of the fae. It's important to remember Kyogre can be benevolent, as it once saved people from droughts with a torrential downpour. This benevolent side is likely the reason why Chaac and Aquaman get along. One of the only times it and Groudon got along was their shared contempt of Surtr; for Groudon it was a case of "even Jerkass Gods have standards", and for Kyogre it and Surtr are naturally anathema to one another.
  • Applies to Groudon only
    • The Continent Pokémon is said to be the embodiment of the land itself. Through heat and mighty sunlight it shrinks coastlines to expand the land, and can also use magma for the same purposes. The volcanic might of Groudon was an instant interest to Admiral Akainu, who seeks its might to enforce absolute justice. As a primordial force Groudon regards the Devil Fruit user as irrelevant unless he serves its rivalry with Kyogre. In terms of the molten innards of the Earth, Groudon considers Vulcan a lot more agreeable. Vulcan won't take sides, but the heat he gets from Groudon and sheer forces helps with his blacksmithing. He's also just glad to have someone similar to him that doesn't make fun of him. His aunt Hestia, being the goddess of the hearth and comforting fire, tends to get on Groudon's good side even if she feels the Ground-type is a troublemaker.
    • The return of Groudon was one demonstrating its dramatic role: bursting out of a volcano in the Hall of Fire and Heat. Despite having a type advantage against Fire-types, Groudon is well liked there because of its volcanic powers and the benefits either of its abilities bring to them. SCP-4338 was happy to learn the lava-making behemoth was back as it wants a friend in the field of vulcanism. Also, Groudon can't make fat jokes at its SCP because its the second/third heaviest Pokémon known to exist. The reunion party had Ragnaros welcome Groudon back so they may spread the warmth. On a less destructive note, the earthbender Toph benefited from the living incarnation of the earth having come back.
    • The brilliant light of Drought and especially Desolate Land is the main reason why Groudon is not allowed in the Hall of Vampires: it is considered as destructive as Deathwing or the Firebird to them. Groudon was offended by this as despite being similarly destructive it isn't batshit crazy like the former, and considers the latter to be a more uncouth and avian version of itself. For once, Kyogre was in agreement over how its rival felt about Deathwing. Even during the night Groudon's ability will bring the sun, and for those that thrive on spreading the darkness this cannot do. Smokey Bear has criticized Groudon for overusing its power as it can easily start forest fires, however knows as a force of nature Groudon doesn't do this out of many malice. Also, the only forest rampage "Groudon" did was an abomination "fake Groudon" made from trying to recreate the legendary.
    • Despite Groudon's ability being at odds with his role as god of the night sky, Tezcatlipoca is also god of the earth as well, especially obsidian. Guess what kind of geological process is good at making obsidian? As such the Smoking Mirror reasoned to Groudon they should work together in hopes of getting Rayquaza (whom the Smoking Mirror is on poor terms with due to their alliance with Quetzalcoatl) off their back. Being sick of the dragon's interference, the Continent Pokémon agreed. However, it rebuffed a request for partnership in favor of another: Bolin. He's someone dedicated to helping out the Avatar of his time, and is notable for the ability to Lavabend. Their similar abilities and Bolin's eagerness to maintain stability and sustainability over the Earth.
    • Though a chaotic force of the land, Groudon holds contempt for Gohma Vlitra as being a magma destroyer who takes the Gaia's Vengeance to omnicidal extremes. Groudon is just as aware of how apocalyptic its solar powers are, so seeks solar-related deities to master its own. Initially, Groudon went after Sekhment, believing they could relate...only for Sekhment proving so unstable and blood-thirsty Groudon was scared of her. Helios and Apollo proved much more agreeable in helping Groudon refine its light powers. Groudon isn't simply aggressive; it once saved those suffering from floods with heat waves and light.
  • Applies to Rayquaza only
    • The Sky High Pokémon lives to stop Kyogre and Groudon's disputes, keeping order in the natural world. It has made the ozone layer a dangerous place to travel, however despite a ferocious appearance Rayquaza is truly benevolent; the exception is anyone who violates its air space. The dragon has had an ongoing feud with Deoxys for doing so, and while they usually calm down at a point they still really don't like each other. Rayquaza's usually kind nature evaporates when it's brought up Diddy Kong and Fox McCloud kicked its ass. It has told them to bug off, though this is more retaliation for lost pride and Rayquaza doesn't hate them.
    • As a keeper of natural balance, Rayquaza is rather embarrassed by the other members of the Weather Trio. It regards immature and chaotic gods as a disgrace to their domain, which is why it and Zeus do not get along. Being a skyfather, Zeus felt the dragon's complaints were "impertinent" and declared that he, not the Sky High Pokémon, was lord of the sky. The two continue to butt heads for supremacy. The legendary was pleased to know that his brother Hades and his dog Cerberus are actually responsible. Another god who stands out as the responsible one is Quetzalcoatl, who isn't straight up weird or needs Human Sacrifice. Plus he's a wind god. In terms of partners, Rayquaza chose Avatar Aang. He's an Air Nomad and bender after all and a force of keeping the peace. The dragon has become protective of the sky bison like Appo too, seeing them as kindred spirits.
    • Rayquaza eats meteorites, which is why Minior didn't last long in the Trope Pantheon. When dealing with asteroids, Rayquaza will use the ingested meteorite energy and hopes of the people to transform into the utterly brokennote  Mega Rayquaza and break it apart. Dwelling near the border between the air and space led the Pokémon to be aware of the Black Comet and Black Doom's planned invasion, which it vehemently opposes and if he resurrects the Black Comet Rayquaza is going Mega to tear it apart. As Black Doom threatens the entire world, Kyogre and Groudon actually listened to the dragon for once.
    • The only reasons Rayquaza is not an Overdeity after Mega Evolving are not becoming a Reality Warper, and still having a major sore spot for ice. Granted Delta Stream doesn't soften the Fairy-type weakness, but as regular Rayquaza ice does quad-damage. The Sky High Pokémon is more than a little wary of the Night's King, who's javelin skills killed a dragon that he later reanimated. And of course, his goal is an Endless Winter that would destroy all life, so that can't be tolerated. Due to its role in protecting the natural order Melisandre was interested in its help against the Great Other, and Daenerys was interested in it for being a legendary dragon. Though Rayquaza will work for them against environmental threats, it isn't fond of the former's whole "Human Sacrifice" element in her religion, and it considers Dany to be a loose canon. Time will tell if her book incarnation goes off the deep end as well.
    • Rayquaza's Air Lock ability means that it can suppress the weather powers of those weaker than it, which is why Enya Geil hates the dragon. This hatred isn't mutual as Rayquaza considers the Stand user irrelevant to its goals. The rest of the Hall of Weather doesn't mind this as the Sky High Pokémon only intervenes when the hall is in chaos. That said, this hasn't stopped Al'Akir from bringing the fight to the legendary as he's a wind elemental, and seeks to prove his supremacy over the element that he shares with Rayquaza. Having lived for hundreds of millions of years, Rayquaza is more than used to someone feeling their ego is challenged by it, and tolerates this rivalry so long as it doesn't conflict with its duties.
  • Also has a spot in Elemental Pairings.

  • The legendary birds of Kanto embody Ice Lightning and Fire and as such, usually spend their time secluded from many other deities but freely interact with other deities who share their abilities. Despite wanting to isolate themselves from other deities, Articuno's, Zapdos' and Moltres' temple leads to an island in the middle of nowhere that contains a snowy mountain, a grassy field and a volcano.
  • Applies to the lot
    • The three aren't the only trio in their series with a Fire, Ice, Lightning dynamic, but they are the most powerful and famous. Unlike some legendaries they aren't a case of Single Specimen Species and since their squabbles don't cause environmental catastrophe they aren't the stronger Shamouti Island birds. Lugia still bosses them around as it feels it needs to make sure they behave, but Ho-oh treats them less condescendely and they like it more. The legendary trio are certainly more well-behaved than their Galarian cousins, who are a Psychic, Fighting and Dark/Flying trio and their power has gone to their heads.
    • There are several deities who the legendary birds refuse to interact with due to them using the element they represent for evil. For example, Zapdos refuses to interact with Eneru, Electro, Azula, and Emperor Palpatine and Moltres refuses to go near Ragnaros the Firelord and the Firebird. The legendary birds are also hesitant to go near deities who can control elements that the legendary birds are weak to, and they hate poachers like Hunter J who want them captive. Giovanni and Team Rocket count as their enemies Ever since that one time when they got fused together.
    • Ash was happy to see the legendary trio again, and as usual they get along with the Pokémon-loving Kid Hero. Charizard still boasts about the time Ash's beat Articuno, and how two of Ash's Kalos Pokémon were worthy opponents for the other two birds. Articuno snidely replied that Stealth Rocks will put the fire lizard out of commission, and Moltres responded in Pokémon Speak "same to you and me" before patting Charizard on the back. The bird trio have come to love challenging the Tao Trio, specifically the ones sharing the same type as them, as they soon noticed the three follow the same Fire, Ice, Lightning trinity.
    • They fear Chuggaaconroy since it was because of their captures that his legacy of capturing the other legendaries in normal Pokéballs began. His first attempts had him capture Articuno with only 2 Ultra Balls, Zapdos after going through 30 Ultra Balls then tossing a single Pokéball at it out of annoyance (he could be heard screaming, "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!" when that happened) and Moltres came about after Chugga gave a a sick burn on himself that Trollkaiger had an absolute laugh at. The second time was even more hectic, let's put it that way.
    • As Aang is the master of elements, the Legendary Birds feel they can safely hang out with him and request help in case the elements get out of whack. Given what happened to the Shamouti Island legendary birds the group fear they may need back-up in case Dr Eggman considers them a more reliable ancient power to control, especially as he's mostly overcome the whole "Evil Is Not a Toy" trope. Within their own 'verse, the birds get along more with Pokémon of the same type.
  • Applies to Articuno
    • The Freeze Pokémon has the rare Ice/Flying type combination, as it appears to be based of the mythical roc (giant Arctic bird). It is rather empathetic, appearing to doomed people on icy mountains...all of which makes the creature a godsend for the House of Locations and Settings. Due to its generally friendly attitude, Articuno doesn't have many enemies outside its elemental weaknesses. The legendary has shown a market dislike for Pet Shop due to being a psychotic bird who uses their ice-based Stand to cause trouble. Because of how it helps people in terribly icy weather, House Stark can count on its aid. Sadly this has also caught the Night's King's attention and he wants to add the legendary to his zombie army.
    • Articuno feels a strange kinship with Akechi Mitsuhide as they were good friends with each other in an alternate reality where Pokémon battles took a very different turn. However it prefers Jack Frost as a partner, because of his status as the spirit of winter. They met whole Jack was trekking the mountain for personal solace. Thanks to Articuno's ability boosting evasion in a hailstorm, siding with Jack proves combatively useful as well.
    • Besides Jack, Articuno tends to be friendly in general with those who use ice powers in a positive manner. Queen Elsa is usually found in frigid environments and has from time to time been offered a ride on the legendary's back. They first flew to where Gray Fullbuster was training his body and ice powers, and the legendary decided to join in for fun. Articuno also enjoys hanging out with Cirno due to her being an ice fairy. It may sympathize with her Boisterous Weakling status due to having the worst defensive typing of the three birdsnote .
  • Applies to Zapdos
    • The Electric Pokémon is said to appear from clouds while dropping enormous lightning bolts. It can freely control thunder and cause savage thunderstorms by flapping its glittering wings. Basically it's an avian version of Zeus or Thor, minus the former's notorious libido. Furthering the connection to the latter is its French name, Electhor. The former likes to flex by competing with and wielding the legendary's thunderbolts, while Thor compensates its lacking physically Electric movepool.
    • The Mob cheered to find the trio in the Pantheon, but were especially happy with Zapdos. Many gods were amazed at how the Mob somehow managed to keep the Master Ball and successfully capture Zapdos with it. Getting it out of the PC, on the other hand... They did some good work in protecting the Electric-type legendary from Gigabolt Man-O-War who tried to suck the Pokémon dry for his fix...and supporting the Next Gen Reploid cause. Bender chooses to just leave Zapdos alone, because of a bad trip he had from electricity.
    • It has developed a strong bond with Mikoto Misaka and can frequently be seen sparring with her as her control over electricity is more than a match for Zapdos' lightning. In addition of the reasons it dislikes Enel is that the legendary was trying to look for a fellow Thunderbird, only to be tricked by the appearance of one of his attacks, the 30,000,000 Volt Hino.
  • Applies to Moltres
    • The Fire Pokémon is a phoenix who's flap of its wings creates a dazzling flash of flames. It is said that its appearance indicates the coming of spring. Within the pantheon, the legendary can be seen flexing its pyrokinesis with Alexstrasza and Natsu Dragneel. If injured, it is said to dip its body in the molten magma of a volcano to burn and heal itself. As such it will crash into SCP-4338's domain and ask for a favor when hurt. The SCP Foundation tolerates this, but only because they confirmed beforehand that Moltres' presence wouldn't affect SCP-4338's current standing. It was bemused to hear there was another firebird in the pantheon, Litra, and it likes showing off to it.
    • While mastering her craft in the Hall of Fire and Heat, Moltres visited and the two decided to test each other out. Impressed by skills with a sword, the legendary decided to join up with the Hot-Eyed Hunter. Birds aren't exactly known for their swordsmanship, so she compliments its power. Ozai had wanted to make Moltres his partner instead, as he thinks the fire bird is a perfect symbol of the Fire Kingdom's power. Given its opposition to Azula Moltres wanted nothing to do with someone as utterly villainous as Ozai. That said, at least he wasn't SCP-457 who wanted to assimilate the legendary to its will by hijacking its flames.
    • As it flaps its flaming wings, even the night sky will turn red. It may not be as effective as Volcarona, but Moltres could theoretically serve as a second sun. Naturally the Grand Duke of Owls regards it as an unacceptable bringer of light, though this only includes the ascended Moltres; he's deeply amused by Galarian Moltres. Chanticleer reached out to the legendary to help out against the Grand Duke of Owls.
    • Being a firebird and all has given it some affinity with the immortal known as Fujiwara no Mokou. Mokou, in turn, sees quite a bit of herself in Moltres, such as “dying” in order to recover their injuries (with Moltres diving into magma before rising & recovering, whil Mokou literally dies in order to revive thanks to the Hourai Elixir). With Lady Eboshi already being Yveltal’s partner, Mokou would then offer to be Moltres’, which it more than gladly accepted.

    • Gilius Thunderhead was already plotting to bring his two comrades-in-arms, Tyris Flare and Ax Battler into the Pantheon. Getting Tyris Flare in was easy enough, as she was the High Priestess to Red Sonja, the goddess herself plotting to bring Tyris into the Pantheon proper. When Conan the Barbarian heard of this plan, he offered his aid in allowing his follower, Ax Battler to join his friends. Conan, Sonja and Gilius worked together and their plotting finally bore fruit. The Ax Battler and Tyris has reunited with Gilius in the Pantheon.
    • Of course, this meant that Gilius had to relinquish his previous title of God of Dwarves. Now Gilius has his hands full in deciding who gets to be his successor for the position. What better way than to choose than a good-old-fashioned free-for all?
    • Ax Battler thanked both Conan and Gilius for getting him into the Pantheon. Of which the dwarf replied that it was a joint effort between the two men and Red Sonja. Tyris, for her part, is humbled that Sonja had given her such an opportunity.
    • If you like where your head and appendages are at on your body, do not mention the Beat Rider Incident to the trio, as it is a Mark of Shame for the trio, especially for Tyris, as she was the one spearheading that event. If you're lucky (or if they're feeling merciful), they'll simply hack you to death.
    • While the trio are in agreement that most of the Greek Pantheon were a bunch of jerkasses, even they were apalled at Kratos' bloody rampage through Greece and Olympus. But as they see him with his son, teaching him not to be the man that he was, but better, makes the trio pause. That, and Gilius, famous for wielding an axe into battle, fawns over the Leviathan Axe, originally belonging to Kratos' wife, now his main weapon.
  • Ax Battler Only:
    • Turns out that he has gained a sympathetic ear from the deified mothers of the Pantheon, as he joined forces with Tyris and Gilius to avenge his mother and his people following Death Adder sacking his home village.
    • There has been some debate as to what Ax Battler's name is. Some say that his name is Tarik, and that Ax Battler is just a title, while others say that Ax Battler is his real name. In a dose of irony his weapon is a broadsword, rather than an axe.
    • Has gained sympathy from the deified parents in the Pantheon - especially mothers - after telling his backstory. He lived with his mother until Death Adder sacked his village, his mother being among the many casualties, leading to his war against Death Adder and his forces.
    • Also has his share of females chasing after him as well. That comes with being a former follower of Conan the Barbarian. Among his female admirerers are Isabela of Rivain and Queen Ashe Dalmasca.
  • Tyris Flare Only:
    • Hearing of Tyris' exploits has made Visenya Targaryen's warrior blood boil. Visenya knows of Tyris' battle prowess from her days as Red Sonja's High Priestess. Now, Visenya wants nothing more than to cross swords with Tyris herself.
    • Her time as Red Sonja's High Priestess has rubbed off on her. Not only did her swordplay improved, but she also developed a severe hatred for rapists. While Sonja would love nothing more than to geld The Mountain That Rides, Tyris loathes the Boltons, especially Ramsay. She also finds out that Euron Greyjoy has taken a shine to her, and wants to make her his latest salt wife. That and he threatenes Gilius.
    Euron: You will be mine, Tyris. I will pay the iron price.
    Tyris: Then you will accept my own iron price when I shove my sword down your throat.
    • As mentioned earlier, mentioning the Beast Rider fiasco pisses her off somethibg serious. If you want to remain in one piece, don't mention that to her.
    • As her nickname is 'The Amazon,' she certainly fights like one, hence the attention from Wonder Woman herself. Tyris was also seen in the company of Triss Merigold, as she was learning how to strengthen her fire magic.
  • Gilius Only:
    • One of the more reknown Dwarves in the verse, Gilius' services in the name of justice is very lengthy. He stopped the terrors of Death Adder, Death Bringer, Dark Guld, and later saved a group of heroes from Damned Hellstrike and returning one last time to face the return of Death Adder. And he was never alone, but he always represented the Dwarf race best: Stout and mighty in spite of his short size.
    • This is finally capitalized when he seemingly perished delivering the great final strike against Death Adder, sacrificing his life so others may live. The greatness of his sacrifice made the Pantheon re-evaluate his worth to enter the Pantheon... and after seeing Gilius even adapt to modern times by playing tennis and going karting even beyond his death, they decided that he deserves a place in the Pantheon and ascended him as the Dwarf God.
    • Contrary to the whole Elves vs. Dwarves thing, Gilius actually have no say about those, as he has never encountered them in life, and in fact would get along well with them if necessary.
    • He actually knows some magic, but much like other Dwarves, Gilius' more known for his strength, his magic is kind of lacking and he admitted his friend Tyris Flare was much more adept in that. Then again, that was enough to save at least two of the four adventurers from Damned Hellstrike.
    • He used to mine, like all dwarves as well, before all those shits with Death Adder. This is why sometimes he spends his time saving those Fortress Dwarves when they did something incredibly stupid it's life-threatening. Of course he can't be everywhere at times, so there were times he ended up unable to save them from the inevitable.
    • As one of the earlier Sega deities, he got along well with deities like Sonic The Hedgehog and Segata Sanshiro. He also seemed to note about the trio of Axel, Adam and Blaze to be fellow Beat 'em Up deities (well, Hack N Slash seems to be more of Gilius' expertise) and has noted that maybe Blaze kind of reminded him of what happened if Tyris would reincarnate in modern times.

  • Two best friends, Manolo and Joaquin were both in love with Maria, which caused La Muerte and Xibalba to make a bet on which boy will successfully marry her. While Maria was studying abroad, Manolo became an excellent bullfighter, but never killed a bull as he aspires to be a musician, and Joaquin became a hero to San Angel thanks to the Medal of Everlasting Life. With Maria's return, this caused the two boys to settle their rivalry once and for all to eventually marry her. Although Manolo won her heart, Xibalba cheated by using a two-headed snake to kill Manolo. Although because his story wasn't finished, he was brought back to the dead and fought alongsode with his best friend and love interest to save San Angel form Chakal. After that, Maria chooses to be with Manolo and eventually marry each other, while Joaquin decides to give up the Medal of Everlasting Life, as he learns to be selfless thanks to giving the medal to Joaquin to save himself from performing a Heroic Sacrifice.
  • Their ascencion was heard about by La Muerte and Xibalba, the former being overjoyed to see them. She hopes that Manolo and Maria will continue to find happiness in the Pantheon, and that the same goes for Joaquin which they both appreciated. Manolo still doesn't appreciate Xibalba's way of cheating the bet it seems that he forgive him and the two are now on rather good terms.
  • Being that he also lives in a world where there is a Land of the Dead, they are visited by Hector. The trio were moved and sympathized hearing sbout his story of being murdered whose music was stolen by Ernesto and being disowned by his now alive entire family back in the living land, especially for Manolo, as he thinks that his some of his problems are similar to that of Hector and had been to the Land of the Remembered and the Land of the Forgotten at the time. This caused Hector to easily with Manolo, along with the fact they are both musicians who love to play guitar. The trio hoped that he'll find everlasting happiness along the way.
  • Princess Cadance is happy to here an another happy couple that have ascended. She respects Maria's respectfulness of who Manolo actually is and wants him to be himself. She also is impressed with Manolo's willingness to be with Maria even if it means it might result on death. They are thankful of hearing these kinds of words from here with them hoping she'll have a successful marriage with Shining Armor. She is sad to hear of Joaquin's failure of not getting the woman he loves, but she hopes that he will find someone that matches for him.
    • Following Cadance's statement, a lot of the deities of the House of Love support Manolo and Maria's marriage and are happy that they are happy together. Tey feel bad for Joaquin never getting the lover of his dreams, but they admired the fact he wants her to be happy with the man she loves. They hope that he'll find someone that could make him happy someday.
  • Due to being Spanish, they became allies with fellow Spanish heroes, Zorro and Inigo Montoya, which also helps that they know how to fight specifically with a sword, but Joaquin relates to them the most as they all lose their father at a young age. They try to smoothen relationships between themselves, but so sure there isn't any progress being made.
  • Hearing about their friendship and dynamics, Donald Duck visited them as it reminds him of his friendship with Jose and Panchito. Manolo is somewhat amused to hear that Donald is the only member of the trio that doesn't really sing and Joaquin is impressed at their heroics in a certain universe. They decided to meet Donald from time to time, wanting to hear more about his adventures as a member of the Three Caballeros.
  • Since they value the concept of beauty, they're antagonistic toward Vega due to the masked assassin's messed-up perception of the concept. A remark Vega made on Maria's beauty in particular heated the antagonism between Manolo and Vega; while Manolo CERTAINLY agrees that Maria's beauty is nigh-peerless, he'll not allow Vega to lay so much as a finger upon his wife.
  • Lysandere and Shinobu Sensui's misantropy causes them to become enemies with them since it is extremely remeniscent of that of Chakal. It doesn't help that they all wanted to destroy the world since this means the entire human race would be in the Land of Forgotten.
  • The way Handsome Jack treats the villagers and seeing them as similar to bandits is what causes them to become enemies. He thinks that they similar to the bandits, which really insulted since they never do evil things in their lives and took great pleasure to protect San Angel.
  • Excluding to Manolo:
    • Matador is ashamed to hear of Manolo not continuing his family legacy of being a bullfighter and aspiring to be a musician, seeing that he is a skilled swordsman and a bullfighter thanks to years of training, only to waste it. In return, Manolo despises him for killing bulls with no consent and it doesn't help that he is not a nice person. Matador usually challenges him to a swordfight to see who is a better fighter, which Manolo refuses every time.
    • Hearing that he is a bullfighter, Blaine Bloodhoof stays away from him, but after hearing that he doesn't want to become one, he decided to visit him. He is suprised at his kindhearted personality, admires his desire to become himself instead of listening his father's wishes, and that when he was forced to kill a 1,000 bulls transformed into a giant bull, he uses a guitar and apologizes to the bull for his family killed ever single one of them. Likewise, Manolo admires his wisdom and that he is not like other bulls he had met in his liferime.
    • The blanks of his story while being dead at the time means that he could change his own fate, causes him to gain allies in thr House of Opposing Fate. He is mostly close with the Nephalems as they are Immune to Fate and because of this, they are ready to take down his enemies.
  • Exclusive to Maria:
    • Is shocked to hear that Gamora has the same voice as her. Gamora is impressed to see that Maria is capable of fighting her own despite being a Proper Lady. Maria is sad to hear of what kind of father Thanos is and how he killed her family and in extension, her own racecl and stated that Thanos makes her father a living saint, causing her to become enemies with him as a result, not helping in that in one incarnation, he wanted to destroy half the universe, and worse, in Earth-616, he wanted to commit genocide to the entire universe to court his Lady Death, which doesn't help her case thanks to how cultured she has become. She is happy to hear that she is notl in alliance with Thanos anymore and hopes that she'll be safe along the way.
      • This is the same case with Neytiri. Neytiri warmed up to her after hearing Maria's desire to not hurt people unless it's necessary. Maria hopes that she could teach Neytiri human values and behaviors while she is in the Pantheon. For Neytiri, hearing about her skills in swordmanship and combat, she hopes that she could teach her in more skills to better defend themselves and wanted her to visit her world when she hears how much she loves animals and nature and how she thinks they deserve freedom.
    • Chun-Li doesn't know what to think of Maria knowing kung-fu because it was stated that in her time period, it was impossible to learn something like that and would be unrealistic. She will say that she is impressed at being able to master a skill like that despite the fact that the reason why Maria stuided abroad is to become a Proper Lady and hoes she'll continue using her skills in the face of danger.
  • Exclusive to Joaquin:
    • Seeing that he is San Angel's hero, he wanted to have a position in the House of Heroes even if he mellowed down, which won't happen anytime soon. He had respect to the House of Heroes and superheroes in general because of their heroics and dedication to their job and wanted to face them with his sword, despite the fact he could easily get injured as he doesn't have the Medal of Everlasting Life. Of course because of this, he hates the House of Villains and supervillains and wanted to face some of them to protect people from danger.
    • As they are both admire heroism and wanted to become one, which Joaquin succeeded at, he bonded with K.O. The child is fascinated upon hearing the Medal of Everlasting Life, but is bummed out upon hearing that he abandoned it. K.O. hopes that he'll strive harder as a hero after losing the medal, as he is now vulnerable to harm, and to continue his duties as one.
    • Joaquin actually loves writing and calligraphy and is pretty skilled at it. Because of this, he becomes friends with a lot of the writers in the Pantheon, who are impressed with how he writes his letters. Although it's very clear he doesn't want to be a writer, he seems to get along with them.
  • "No retreat, no surrender!"
