* Pities: Oddly enough, [[Pantheon/CausesOfMadness Shinji Ikari]]
* Masamune Dan was the 1st CEO of Genm Corp. and the father of Kuroto Dan. He was incarcerated for a period of time after being framed for starting [[TheVirus Zero Day]], the first Bugster outbreak by his son. In reality, he had indeed been complicit in these events to a degree, [[spoiler:infecting himself with the Bugster Virus to gain immunity to it and subsequently master the Chronicle Gashat.]] [[TheChessmaster He manipulated a series of events]] leading to his son's creation of ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'', which he plotted to [[TheUsurper seize]] from him for his own ends. After being released from jail after his son's alleged death and being reinstated to his former position, he got right to work, using the Kamen Rider Chronicle Master Gashat to transform into [[TimeMaster Kamen Rider Cronus]] and assert his dominance over the Bugsters who had taken over after Kuroto's death. He stopped time with his 'Pause' ability to curb-stomp the Riders and kill the Lovelica Bugster. Things progressed smoothly from there, with him holding the fate of the Bugsters in his hands by [[KillerGameMaster threatening to delete them from the game code should they disobey him]], [[IHaveYourWife bribing Hiiro Kagami to join his side]] and [[spoiler:[[FusionDance merging]] with ''Chronicle's'' final boss [[DiscOneFinalBoss Gamedeus]] to form [[TrueFinalBoss Gamedeus Cronus]] to prevent the game from being completed]]. While he was soundly defeated by Ex-Aid, he injected himself with his own Gashat, [[SoreLoser ensuring the data from players killed in his game was deleted along with him]]. However, fate was not done with him just yet.
* [[spoiler:A completely [[AxCrazy mad]] Kuroto resurrected his father to extract the Bugster that had manifested from him, Black Parado, to create a new Master Gashat, God Maximum Mighty X. Saddened by how his son had completely [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope jumped off the slippery slope]], Masamune [[DamselOutOfDistress managed to free himself]] and battle his son to stop his plans, but Kuroto's [[SuperForm new form]] proved too much for Cronus and he was killed yet again. He managed to pass on his abilities to [[Pantheon/{{Celebration}} Kiriya Kujo]] in a final gesture of trust and dissolved into data, confident that someone would end his son's mad rampage, which Kiriya did.]]
* [[spoiler:As a reward for his HeelFaceTurn]], Masamune was granted ascension to the Pantheon in the digital afterlife along with being revived as a human again. Many court officers were in unanimous agreement for his ascension, a surprising decision given how much Masamune is despised by the Riders and his fanbase. [[spoiler:Turns out that Vermouth paid them to vouch for him, because the Black Organization's Absolut wanted someone from Genm Corp. as an associate. Kuroto was out of the question]].
* Speaking of Kuroto, the first thing Masamune did when he entered the Pantheon was to find his now sane son and call him out for all the atrocities he did, demanding an apology. Despite being repentant for his actions, Kuroto has no intention of reconciling with him, nor relinquishing his ownership of Genm Corp. in the Pantheon to him.
** He has been told of his status as an utter HateSink in his series compared to Kuroto, who had the benefit of his [[MemeticMutation legendary]] GodComplex and general [[LargeHam hamminess]] to save him. Is even more dismayed to learn that in an AlternateTimeline, [[spoiler:[[Series/KamenRiderZiO Kuroto gained the powers of Another OOO and killed him to assume leadership of Genm Corp. and subsequently rule the world]]]]. May have in possession a Cronus Anotherwatch to counter this problem if it comes up again, courtesy of SHOCKER.
* His relationship with the other Gamer Riders is similarly fraught. He still hates them for his bitter defeat at Emu's hands, but is more or less civil in combat, no longer treating them as products or referring to them by the name of their most powerful Gashat (example: 'Hyper Muteki' for Emu and '[[spoiler:God Maximum Mighty X]]' for Kuroto). Kiriya is relatively cool and civil around him, for he ''did'' provide the trump card that allowed him to defeat Kuroto once and for all. Kiriya could tell that Masamune truly regretted his previous heinous acts and bears with him. He has called a ceasefire with his greatest enemies, seeing the ForeverWar in the Pantheon as a far more important threat to handle.
* For clarity, the powers of Kamen Rider Cronus were intended to be granted to the eventual winner of Kamen Rider Chronicle in order to stop the game's final boss Gamedeus. Planning to have an immunity against the corresponding Gashat's virus may possibly the longest-planned cheat in the entirety of fiction. As stated above, Masamune abused his time manipulation abilities to astounding degrees, stopping time to prevent them landing hits and stealing any leverage they had against him (like the Hyper Muteki) to maintain his image of infallibility. When he's really in a pinch, he can call on 'Reset' to set the fighters in an earlier point in time, once using it to reverse the destruction of his Chronicle Gashat. The problem is that Masamune [[UnskilledButStrong relied on these game-breakers too much]], leaving him at a disadvantage once the Riders started rising in levels legitimately and rendering his time manipulation useless against them. So what then? [[spoiler:In an act of desperation, he had Cronus fulfill its purpose and defeat Gamedeus, only to then absorb the final boss into his very being, becoming a Bugster. Which made the game nigh unbeatable and eternal until his final defeat]]. In the Pantheon, Masamune can access the abilities of Gamedeus Cronus by himself, but with serious damage to his body requiring weeks to recover, since his status as a human again makes him vulnerable to the super virus of Gamedeus. Hence, [[GodzillaThreshold he only calls on it when in direct battle against Greater Gods or higher]]. Otherwise, he is far more careful and calculating in battle against his enemies, painfully aware that it was his hubris and inability to recognise his own weaknesses that led to his defeat. He makes sure to respect his foes as {{Worthy Opponent}}s and never to underestimate them, nor to refer to them by a product name for any but the most despicable adversary. Whenever he ''does'' have the opportunity to abuse his time-stopping power on those who oppose him and are too weak to overcome 'Pause', he does it with a zeal.
* He is regretful for how his mania and desire for power ruined Kuroto, regarding him a 'piece of scum' and a mistake that should have never been born, and like him, sincerely loves his wife. He voluntarily refused to bring her in as a herald because he didn't want her to see the monsters he and his son had become. Contrary to popular belief, he hates the Child Abuse Supporters, claiming that rather merely infecting their children with negative qualities, they go out of their way to showcase their abuse to the world unashamedly and without remorse. Granted, this is more of Masamune trying to be a VillainWithGoodPublicity, [[PetTheDog but it's something]]. This hasn't earned him any favours in the House of Pantheon/{{Family}} however. None of the Heroic Protectors of Family support him.
** While known to associate with Keel Lorenz and Gendo Ikari, Masamune has no love for either of them, for going to extreme levels to [[spoiler:initiate Third Impact and unite all humanity into a singular lifeform for the sake of eternal peace, and for Gendo, just to revive his wife]]. While Kuroto turned out as a madman with a GodComplex, Masamune would much rather have him than an utterly emotionally shattered son with multiple personalities with [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds the potential to bring an end to the universe]], the product of Gendo's mad plans.
* Having a primarily green color palette and the ability to stop time has obviously caused him to be compared to Dio Brando, even being called Kamen Rider DIO. Masamune is a bit terrified of Dio, since his Stand is far more powerful than his 'Pause' ability (for comparison, his 'Pause' ability was rendered null very quickly after new and more powerful Gashats were made, while Dio was curb stomped by a surprise attack after at least a few decades undefeated). Worse, Dio was the one who cornered him in the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} for a battle. He was one-tenth of a second quicker than Masamune in activating "ZA WARUDO! TOKI YO TOMARE!" before [[KnifeFight sticking fifteen knives]] in his throat. To add insult to injury, he pocketed the Chronicle Gashat and Buggle Driver Zwei for himself.
--> '''Dio''': Your pale imitation of my greatness is nothing compared to I, '''DIO!''' ''(stabs Cronus)'' Kamen Rider Chronicle, [[KarmicDeath you are hereby discontinued]]. ''(restarts time)''
** It was a fairly long week for Masamune after that. Soon after being revived in the House of Pantheon/LifeAndDeath, he created a new Gashat to circumvent his Stand and enhancements as a vampire. He didn't need to do that, Dio just swiped Masamune's equipment out of spite and disposed of them immediately afterwards. Masamune is by no means fearful of Dio, just disgusted by his [[SmugSnake smugness]] at being able to cheat his way through battle (and for more petty reasons, that his 'ZA WARUDO' catchphrase has become [[MemeticMutation meme material]] like Kuroto) like he used to be.
* Masamune is working tirelessly to bring a new version of ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' into the Pantheon under a new Genm Corp with employees loyal to him alone. The image of him as an upstanding and moral CEO of a video game company has become [[AffablyEvil genuine]]. As such, he works with other gaming companies in the Pantheon to realize this vision. Whatever Masamune's goal is, teasers for this now augmented reality game have proven positive. Players no longer physically transform into Ride-Players but access it via the company's own version of the [=Augma=]. Moreover, Chronicle no longer runs the risk of infecting players with the Bugster Virus. [[SincerityMode Aside from his animosity for the Gamer Riders, his ventures as a CEO are now entirely separate from his exploits as an amoral Kamen Rider and he shows no inclination to endanger innocent lives]]. Kuroto, seeing how sincere his father is, chooses to live and let live so long as Masamune doesn't [[CorruptCorporateExecutive abuse his position]] like he did before. Whether a merger of the two factions will happen is up in the air.
** Summarily, he is acquainted with Nobuyuki Sugou and RECT Progress to tune ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' with the [=AmuSphere=] for beta testing in a virtual environment before full release for AR. Results from people who despise Masamune such as the Master of Chaldea, Chiaki Nanami, Yugi Muto and freaking '''Kirito and Asuna''' have proven positive. Masamune may act nice to Sugou, complimenting him on his managerial prowess, but in private, he lambasts Sugou not for [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping Asuna]] ([[BystanderSyndrome that's his problem]]) but for being [[WhatAnIdiot so incredibly]] [[StupidEvil stupid]] in doing so. At least Kayaba had the foresight to hole himself in a remote house before enacting his plan. Sugou is perfectly aware of Masamune always comparing him to Kayaba, and doesn't appreciate him for it, seeking to obtain the Chronicle Gashat for himself.
** Seto Kaiba is also a close collaborator, with both agreeing on how power is everything. He does not, however, approve of his immorality. Has gotten the idea to bankroll a driver in the up-and-coming Buy N Large NASCAR Cup Series to be held in the Pantheon from him.
** To this end, his company has gained a lot of prestige due to Buy N Large's influence as the largest conglomerate in the Pantheon. Being the very definition of a trust and having their hands in every major sector imaginable has helped Genm Corp is spreading the word of their game immensely.
** Classic game characters like Mario, Samus, and Sonic don't know what to think of Masamune, since the games under his watch were mostly [[{{Expy}} expies]] of their games. That's only him as the CEO of Genm Corp. As Cronus, they know he's the enemy. The Servants of Chaldea follow their master's lead and remain silent on Masamune, but still don't like his old habit of [[ItIsDehumanizing mistreating others and calling them by product names]] as it reminds them grimly of the mages of the Nasuverse who treat ''their'' Servants as tools and disregard their autonomy. Masamune respects their main historical versions, not them. He is aware that his former attitude has rubbed them the wrong way and is willing to make amends for it, but not redeem himself fully.
** On a darker note, that doesn't mean that the game has nothing wrong with it. Masamune has marketed a live-action version of the game for use in arenas and game shows. So far, Gleeman Vox, CLU 2 and [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Cosmo Royale]] have made pre-orders for several million Ride-Player Gashats, just as soon as Masamune's design team work out a grittier look for the Ride-Player, which by their standards is plain ol' 80s.
* Then there's his life as Kamen Rider Cronus. Gotta keep a reputation as a KillerGameMaster up after all. Granted, his plots as Kamen Rider Cronus are entirely separate from his corporate career now, so he technically isn't so much of a CorruptCorporateExecutive any more so much of a CardCarryingVillain.
** Aside from legitimate video game companies, he frequently associates with Lex Luthor to create new, more powerful Gashats channeling the data of powerful DC deities like Superman, which he determines is a better option that wasting large amounts of Kryptonian DNA to create [[CloneDegeneration Bizarro]]. Both are villains who keep up a near perfect public image and love talking to each other about any evil plans they have concocted.
** Then there's SHOCKER, which every Kamen Rider villain is almost always contractually obligated to provide services to. He only provides occasional services though, citing '[[MegaCorp capitalism]]' (i.e. SHOCKER has too many employed members and is getting too powerful) for the reasons why he waves the provision of specialized Gashats in front of other parties more often than not. No one there is pleased at this, Sengoku especially. Likewise, the ever cautious and realistic Masamune is unimpressed at the many hijinks of SHOCKER's non-tokusatsu aligned members. [[{{Scandalgate}} In one of his taped video diaries]][[labelnote:*]]And yes, Masamune records his own video diaries. Much better than dressing down those he just hates out loud and getting a slow painful death.[[/labelnote]]:
--> '''Masamune''': Junko may excel in ruining others with her so-called 'Ultimate Despair', Banno at creating Roidmudes, Gihren leading some genocidal Nazi space state with tacky robots, and those [[Pantheon/MilitaryRanks racist]] [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws dumbasses]] in creating 'stable', 'perfect' soldiers. But you know who I think they are? [[{{Hypocrite}} Delusional bastards]]. Judgement shall be passed on them, but not by me. They're [[NotWorthKilling not worth the trouble]].
** Instead, Masamune has become an associate of the Black Organization under the codename Umeshu. He has created killer virtual tournaments for the purpose of honing the skills of its many unnamed members, including an elite version for [[spoiler:Absolut aka Quinella's prospective Integrity Knights]]. [[spoiler:Renya Karasuma]] is very pleased at the results and how well his chain ascension plans to employ new deities have worked out. Masamune doesn't really care if he has been manipulated. He'll kill them all [[PragmaticVillainy at a later point in time]]. Anyway, he has important information for them should their deal go south. [[spoiler:[[ParanoiaFuel He knows the identity of one of those who fled the Organization.]] Yes, for real]].
** Secondarily, Vito Corleone sometimes plays backgammon with him. Ehh... we don't know either. [[CommonalityConnection Maybe it's their actions of keeping their illegal activities separate from their public affable personas and family lives]]. Nurgle also plays ball with him (not literally) sometimes for samples of the Gamedeus Virus, hoping to use in some capacity someday. This spells worry for the Pantheon's only major hospital, whose authorities have heard of [[Series/KamenRiderExAid the massive overcrowding of patients in Seito University Hospital from the appearance of Gamedeus and his super strain of Bugster Virus]]. They do not want that kind of trouble on their doorstep and keep a close eye on Masamune and his Bugster research.
** In conclusion, Masamune only has alliances with people for the convenience. He does not betray them ''per se'', just 'leaving the negotiating room' [[ShoutOut just like Johnny Maxima once did to him]]. Allies is a relative term, being those who Masamune pretends to like, while [[TeethClenchedTeamwork the rest]] are those he makes no secret of his contempt for.
* People have joked that for all his gloating about being a superior being, his time manipulation abilities are laughably limited. Chief among them is Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, who is quick to remind Masamune that for his game's most powerful Kamen Rider, he can't even travel through time. The Professor isn't wrong to say this, having used time travel to ruin his arch-nemesis' life by killing his parents, gaining himself a new team of allies and exploiting [[ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} Barry's mental breakdown and attempt to prevent his mother's murder to (coincidentally) make himself a living paradox and take advantage of an alternate timeline]]. Masamune is opposed on all fronts by members of the House of Pantheon/TimeAndSpace, the good members for [[NoManShouldHaveThisPower obvious reasons]], and the villains for being a sissy compared to them. Masamune just smirks as the black-ops division of his company places the finishing touches on a new cosmic treadmill and Oma Zi-O level Chronicle Gashat. He'll make at least that house respect him in time. No direct word from the hopeful to take the title of TimeMaster, Wizard Tetrad member Chronos, but obviously he doesn't like someone who uses the ability to stop time to cheat his way through battle.
* People have asked why his Rider name is Cronus when his motifs and abilities (not to mention the [[RuleOfCool clock that inexplicably appears behind him whenever he transforms]]) suggest his relation to Chronos, in which case he should be called Kamen Rider '''Chronos'''. Masamune replies that the meaning of the name runs in the Dan family, because the former king of the gods desired unlimited power much like he and his son do. He is also quick to remind people that Cronus is also a lesser god of time, but is overlooked due to Chronos' existence and Cronus' history of slaughter and cannibalism. If people call him Kamen Rider Chronos, he just shrugs it off. Historians have been known to confuse both gods as well.

[[spoiler:Turns out that Vermouth paid them to vouch for him, because the Black Organization's Absolut wanted someone from Genm Corp. as an associate. Kuroto was out of the question]].
* Speaking of Kuroto, the first thing Masamune did when he entered the Pantheon was to find his now sane son and call him out for all the atrocities he did, demanding an apology. Despite being repentant for his actions, Kuroto has no intention of reconciling with him, nor relinquishing his ownership of Genm Corp. in the Pantheon to him.
** He has been told of his status as an utter HateSink in his series compared to Kuroto, who had the benefit of his [[MemeticMutation legendary]] GodComplex and general [[LargeHam hamminess]] to save him. Is even more dismayed to learn that in an AlternateTimeline, [[spoiler:[[Series/KamenRiderZiO Kuroto gained the powers of Another OOO and killed him to assume leadership of Genm Corp. and subsequently rule the world]]]]. May have in possession a Cronus Anotherwatch to counter this problem if it comes up again, courtesy of SHOCKER.
* His relationship with the other Gamer Riders is similarly fraught. He still hates them for his bitter defeat at Emu's hands, but is more or less civil in combat, no longer treating them as products or referring to them by the name of their most powerful Gashat (example: 'Hyper Muteki' for Emu and '[[spoiler:God Maximum Mighty X]]' for Kuroto). Kiriya is relatively cool and civil around him, for he ''did'' provide the trump card that allowed him to defeat Kuroto once and for all. Kiriya could tell that Masamune truly regretted his previous heinous acts and bears with him. He has called a ceasefire with his greatest enemies, seeing the ForeverWar in the Pantheon as a far more important threat to handle.
* For clarity, the powers of Kamen Rider Cronus were intended to be granted to the eventual winner of Kamen Rider Chronicle in order to stop the game's final boss Gamedeus. Planning to have an immunity against the corresponding Gashat's virus may possibly the longest-planned cheat in the entirety of fiction. As stated above, Masamune abused his time manipulation abilities to astounding degrees, stopping time to prevent them landing hits and stealing any leverage they had against him (like the Hyper Muteki) to maintain his image of infallibility. When he's really in a pinch, he can call on 'Reset' to set the fighters in an earlier point in time, once using it to reverse the destruction of his Chronicle Gashat. The problem is that Masamune [[UnskilledButStrong relied on these game-breakers too much]], leaving him at a disadvantage once the Riders started rising in levels legitimately and rendering his time manipulation useless against them. So what then? [[spoiler:In an act of desperation, he had Cronus fulfill its purpose and defeat Gamedeus, only to then absorb the final boss into his very being, becoming a Bugster. Which made the game nigh unbeatable and eternal until his final defeat]]. In the Pantheon, Masamune can access the abilities of Gamedeus Cronus by himself, but with serious damage to his body requiring weeks to recover, since his status as a human again makes him vulnerable to the super virus of Gamedeus. Hence, [[GodzillaThreshold he only calls on it when in direct battle against Greater Gods or higher]]. Otherwise, he is far more careful and calculating in battle against his enemies, painfully aware that it was his hubris and inability to recognise his own weaknesses that led to his defeat. He makes sure to respect his foes as {{Worthy Opponent}}s and never to underestimate them, nor to refer to them by a product name for any but the most despicable adversary. Whenever he ''does'' have the opportunity to abuse his time-stopping power on those who oppose him and are too weak to overcome 'Pause', he does it with a zeal.
* He is regretful for how his mania and desire for power ruined Kuroto, regarding him a 'piece of scum' and a mistake that should have never been born, and like him, sincerely loves his wife. He voluntarily refused to bring her in as a herald because he didn't want her to see the monsters he and his son had become. Contrary to popular belief, he hates the Child Abuse Supporters, claiming that rather merely infecting their children with negative qualities, they go out of their way to showcase their abuse to the world unashamedly and without remorse. Granted, this is more of Masamune trying to be a VillainWithGoodPublicity, [[PetTheDog but it's something]]. This hasn't earned him any favours in the House of Pantheon/{{Family}} however. None of the Heroic Protectors of Family support him.
** While known to associate with Keel Lorenz and Gendo Ikari, Masamune has no love for either of them, for going to extreme levels to [[spoiler:initiate Third Impact and unite all humanity into a singular lifeform for the sake of eternal peace, and for Gendo, just to revive his wife]]. While Kuroto turned out as a madman with a GodComplex, Masamune would much rather have him than an utterly emotionally shattered son with multiple personalities with [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds the potential to bring an end to the universe]], the product of Gendo's mad plans.
* Having a primarily green color palette and the ability to stop time has obviously caused him to be compared to Dio Brando, even being called Kamen Rider DIO. Masamune is a bit terrified of Dio, since his Stand is far more powerful than his 'Pause' ability (for comparison, his 'Pause' ability was rendered null very quickly after new and more powerful Gashats were made, while Dio was curb stomped by a surprise attack after at least a few decades undefeated). Worse, Dio was the one who cornered him in the House of Pantheon/{{Gaming}} for a battle. He was one-tenth of a second quicker than Masamune in activating "ZA WARUDO! TOKI YO TOMARE!" before [[KnifeFight sticking fifteen knives]] in his throat. To add insult to injury, he pocketed the Chronicle Gashat and Buggle Driver Zwei for himself.
--> '''Dio''': Your pale imitation of my greatness is nothing compared to I, '''DIO!''' ''(stabs Cronus)'' Kamen Rider Chronicle, [[KarmicDeath you are hereby discontinued]]. ''(restarts time)''
** It was a fairly long week for Masamune after that. Soon after being revived in the House of Pantheon/LifeAndDeath, he created a new Gashat to circumvent his Stand and enhancements as a vampire. He didn't need to do that, Dio just swiped Masamune's equipment out of spite and disposed of them immediately afterwards. Masamune is by no means fearful of Dio, just disgusted by his [[SmugSnake smugness]] at being able to cheat his way through battle (and for more petty reasons, that his 'ZA WARUDO' catchphrase has become [[MemeticMutation meme material]] like Kuroto) like he used to be.
* Masamune is working tirelessly to bring a new version of ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' into the Pantheon under a new Genm Corp with employees loyal to him alone. The image of him as an upstanding and moral CEO of a video game company has become [[AffablyEvil genuine]]. As such, he works with other gaming companies in the Pantheon to realize this vision. Whatever Masamune's goal is, teasers for this now augmented reality game have proven positive. Players no longer physically transform into Ride-Players but access it via the company's own version of the [=Augma=]. Moreover, Chronicle no longer runs the risk of infecting players with the Bugster Virus. [[SincerityMode Aside from his animosity for the Gamer Riders, his ventures as a CEO are now entirely separate from his exploits as an amoral Kamen Rider and he shows no inclination to endanger innocent lives]]. Kuroto, seeing how sincere his father is, chooses to live and let live so long as Masamune doesn't [[CorruptCorporateExecutive abuse his position]] like he did before. Whether a merger of the two factions will happen is up in the air.
** Summarily, he is acquainted with Nobuyuki Sugou and RECT Progress to tune ''Kamen Rider Chronicle'' with the [=AmuSphere=] for beta testing in a virtual environment before full release for AR. Results from people who despise Masamune such as the Master of Chaldea, Chiaki Nanami, Yugi Muto and freaking '''Kirito and Asuna''' have proven positive. Masamune may act nice to Sugou, complimenting him on his managerial prowess, but in private, he lambasts Sugou not for [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil raping Asuna]] ([[BystanderSyndrome that's his problem]]) but for being [[WhatAnIdiot so incredibly]] [[StupidEvil stupid]] in doing so. At least Kayaba had the foresight to hole himself in a remote house before enacting his plan. Sugou is perfectly aware of Masamune always comparing him to Kayaba, and doesn't appreciate him for it, seeking to obtain the Chronicle Gashat for himself.
** Seto Kaiba is also a close collaborator, with both agreeing on how power is everything. He does not, however, approve of his immorality. Has gotten the idea to bankroll a driver in the up-and-coming Buy N Large NASCAR Cup Series to be held in the Pantheon from him.
** To this end, his company has gained a lot of prestige due to Buy N Large's influence as the largest conglomerate in the Pantheon. Being the very definition of a trust and having their hands in every major sector imaginable has helped Genm Corp is spreading the word of their game immensely.
** Classic game characters like Mario, Samus, and Sonic don't know what to think of Masamune, since the games under his watch were mostly [[{{Expy}} expies]] of their games. That's only him as the CEO of Genm Corp. As Cronus, they know he's the enemy. The Servants of Chaldea follow their master's lead and remain silent on Masamune, but still don't like his old habit of [[ItIsDehumanizing mistreating others and calling them by product names]] as it reminds them grimly of the mages of the Nasuverse who treat ''their'' Servants as tools and disregard their autonomy. Masamune respects their main historical versions, not them. He is aware that his former attitude has rubbed them the wrong way and is willing to make amends for it, but not redeem himself fully.
** On a darker note, that doesn't mean that the game has nothing wrong with it. Masamune has marketed a live-action version of the game for use in arenas and game shows. So far, Gleeman Vox, CLU 2 and [[Series/PowerRangersNinjaSteel Cosmo Royale]] have made pre-orders for several million Ride-Player Gashats, just as soon as Masamune's design team work out a grittier look for the Ride-Player, which by their standards is plain ol' 80s.
* Then there's his life as Kamen Rider Cronus. Gotta keep a reputation as a KillerGameMaster up after all. Granted, his plots as Kamen Rider Cronus are entirely separate from his corporate career now, so he technically isn't so much of a CorruptCorporateExecutive any more so much of a CardCarryingVillain.
** Aside from legitimate video game companies, he frequently associates with Lex Luthor to create new, more powerful Gashats channeling the data of powerful DC deities like Superman, which he determines is a better option that wasting large amounts of Kryptonian DNA to create [[CloneDegeneration Bizarro]]. Both are villains who keep up a near perfect public image and love talking to each other about any evil plans they have concocted.
** Then there's SHOCKER, which every Kamen Rider villain is almost always contractually obligated to provide services to. He only provides occasional services though, citing '[[MegaCorp capitalism]]' (i.e. SHOCKER has too many employed members and is getting too powerful) for the reasons why he waves the provision of specialized Gashats in front of other parties more often than not. No one there is pleased at this, Sengoku especially. Likewise, the ever cautious and realistic Masamune is unimpressed at the many hijinks of SHOCKER's non-tokusatsu aligned members. [[{{Scandalgate}} In one of his taped video diaries]][[labelnote:*]]And yes, Masamune records his own video diaries. Much better than dressing down those he just hates out loud and getting a slow painful death.[[/labelnote]]:
--> '''Masamune''': Junko may excel in ruining others with her so-called 'Ultimate Despair', Banno at creating Roidmudes, Gihren leading some genocidal Nazi space state with tacky robots, and those [[Pantheon/MilitaryRanks racist]] [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws dumbasses]] in creating 'stable', 'perfect' soldiers. But you know who I think they are? [[{{Hypocrite}} Delusional bastards]]. Judgement shall be passed on them, but not by me. They're [[NotWorthKilling not worth the trouble]].
** Instead, Masamune has become an associate of the Black Organization under the codename Umeshu. He has created killer virtual tournaments for the purpose of honing the skills of its many unnamed members, including an elite version for [[spoiler:Absolut aka Quinella's prospective Integrity Knights]]. [[spoiler:Renya Karasuma]] is very pleased at the results and how well his chain ascension plans to employ new deities have worked out. Masamune doesn't really care if he has been manipulated. He'll kill them all [[PragmaticVillainy at a later point in time]]. Anyway, he has important information for them should their deal go south. [[spoiler:[[ParanoiaFuel He knows the identity of one of those who fled the Organization.]] Yes, for real]].
** Secondarily, Vito Corleone sometimes plays backgammon with him. Ehh... we don't know either. [[CommonalityConnection Maybe it's their actions of keeping their illegal activities separate from their public affable personas and family lives]]. Nurgle also plays ball with him (not literally) sometimes for samples of the Gamedeus Virus, hoping to use in some capacity someday. This spells worry for the Pantheon's only major hospital, whose authorities have heard of [[Series/KamenRiderExAid the massive overcrowding of patients in Seito University Hospital from the appearance of Gamedeus and his super strain of Bugster Virus]]. They do not want that kind of trouble on their doorstep and keep a close eye on Masamune and his Bugster research.
** In conclusion, Masamune only has alliances with people for the convenience. He does not betray them ''per se'', just 'leaving the negotiating room' [[ShoutOut just like Johnny Maxima once did to him]]. Allies is a relative term, being those who Masamune pretends to like, while [[TeethClenchedTeamwork the rest]] are those he makes no secret of his contempt for.
* People have joked that for all his gloating about being a superior being, his time manipulation abilities are laughably limited. Chief among them is Eobard Thawne, the Reverse-Flash, who is quick to remind Masamune that for his game's most powerful Kamen Rider, he can't even travel through time. The Professor isn't wrong to say this, having used time travel to ruin his arch-nemesis' life by killing his parents, gaining himself a new team of allies and exploiting [[ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} Barry's mental breakdown and attempt to prevent his mother's murder to (coincidentally) make himself a living paradox and take advantage of an alternate timeline]]. Masamune is opposed on all fronts by members of the House of Pantheon/TimeAndSpace, the good members for [[NoManShouldHaveThisPower obvious reasons]], and the villains for being a sissy compared to them. Masamune just smirks as the black-ops division of his company places the finishing touches on a new cosmic treadmill and Oma Zi-O level Chronicle Gashat. He'll make at least that house respect him in time. No direct word from the hopeful to take the title of TimeMaster, Wizard Tetrad member Chronos, but obviously he doesn't like someone who uses the ability to stop time to cheat his way through battle.
* People have asked why his Rider name is Cronus when his motifs and abilities (not to mention the [[RuleOfCool clock that inexplicably appears behind him whenever he transforms]]) suggest his relation to Chronos, in which case he should be called Kamen Rider '''Chronos'''. Masamune replies that the meaning of the name runs in the Dan family, because the former king of the gods desired unlimited power much like he and his son do. He is also quick to remind people that Cronus is also a lesser god of time, but is overlooked due to Chronos' existence and Cronus' history of slaughter and cannibalism. If people call him Kamen Rider Chronos, he just shrugs it off. Historians have been known to confuse both gods as well.

[[caption-width-right:350:Heh.]]
* Greater God
* Symbol: A stylized eye with a scar running through it.
* Theme Music: [[https://chrischristodoulou.bandcamp.com/track/precipitation Precipitation - Risk of Rain OST]]
* The Godmodder has two split personalities, each with their own body: Omega and Alpha. Alpha is the personality who fought his way onto this Pantheon.
* Alignments: Omega - Chaotic Evil. Alpha - Neutral Evil.
* Portfolio: GodModders, PlayByPostGames, [[BossGame Boss Games]], ContractualBossImmunity, GodDamnedBoss, NighInvulnerable.
* Domain: Godmoding and godmodding. Uses his ultimate power over the Source Code of Reality to make the lives of everyone around him utter hell. If people rage quit, he makes money.
* Followers: Powergamers, metagamers, godmodders, those that he bribes or brainwashes, and people that try to ruin other people's work [[ForTheEvulz for no other reason than because.]]
* Allies: None. Unless you count the immense numbers of people and things that have been forced into fighting for him.
** Unless you count himself from another dimension, who decided to lend a hand during his battle pre-ascension.
* Rivals: Everyone.
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/GamingGenres Steve?]], Team Mojang, the entire [[Pantheon/{{Defense}} House of Defense]], [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Pantheon/{{Crime}} Carmen Sandiego]], a significant number of other gods in the Pantheon.
* Opposed by: Just about everyone he's ever trolled or attempted to troll, as well as the majority of the people who've been swept up in the chaos caused by said trolling attempts.
* He is willing to start a fight with anyone, over anything. Although he has complete control over the art of godmodding, he sometimes bites off more than he can chew.
** That's mainly because although he's one of the most powerful warriors in existence, he's really, really bad at remembering to use his powers effectively.
* He has no real friends in the Pantheon, because he thinks he's better than all of them put together, although there's some evidence that he's got strings tied to a handful of the other gods. Its known that he has had contacts with some of the members of [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} the house of Villains]], but it is not known who he still has contacts with.
* His biggest claim to fame is trapping the entire playerbase of Minecraft on one gigantic server, and installing a virus on all of their computers so that they couldn't leave. The war that followed resulted in the destruction of three gigantic universes, the displacement of millions of lives, the weakening of the fabric of reality, and the subsequent uprising of the Conflict, the greatest evil known to existence.
* Alpha attacked the Pantheon after splitting apart from the Godmodder and moving away from Minecraftia. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13969038880A73377900&page=1 After his war went on for a ridiculously long period of time,]] he was finally killed. When Alpha immediately respawned at full health, the Pantheon gave him godhood to avoid anything too cataclysmic from happening.
* Is notorious throughout the entire Pantheon for being capable of taking down various other gods in one-on-one combat frequently and regularly, ''before'' he ascended.
* Is feared by large portions of the Pantheon for the event that got him ascended, which laid waste to large portions of the Pantheon grounds, but due to the fact that one of the many Pantheon civil wars was happening at the time, only some of the gods were able to respond, and those that did are among the most worried about his presence.
* His standing with the House of Villains is unknown, several members of the house tend to hide when he comes nearby, most notably Starscream.
* Is widely reputed throughout the Pantheon for successfully raiding the Vault, with the house of defense on high alert no less.
* Successfully pissed off the majority of the House of Time and Space and the House of Life and Death due to an incident involving the Glitch, which some believe to be a different incarnation of Missingno. Either way, even after the Glitch was destroyed, lingering anomalies took months for the two houses to clean up, leaving him with a rather antagonistic relationship towards them.
** This also earned him the ire of a large portion of the House of Gaming, as the Glitch's death revealed that its arrival had brought back Missingno itself from a period of slumber.

* His {{Reality Warp|er}}ing corruption powers are completely random and he has little control over them. If he had more control over them he'd count as an Overdeity, but he doesn't so he's simply a Greater God.
* Due to his inability to control his corruption powers, he has destroyed many video game worlds every time they crash. When that happens, he simply brings them back to corrupt them all over again.
* Mario and Link's worlds are his favorite to corrupt making them the biggest victims of accidental world destruction.
* [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Donkey Kong]] and the Franchise/FinalFantasy team are the only known people to resist his corruption powers. Though, he has gotten Donkey Kong to work a few times.

* Ralph asked the Gods to include Vanellope into the Pantheon [[spoiler: once she learned to control her glitching and make it her teleporting powers.]] Seeing as how much Ralph has done for her, they agreed. The two reunited with hugs and insults.
* Is able to be at any place at any time due to her teleporting, constantly questioning about stuff and having a good time. She loves joking around and messing with them, but she never intentionally does any harm.
* Has tried multiple times in making [[{{Pantheon/Theater}} Pinkie Pie]] stay ''far, far away'' from her car and to the entrance of ''Sugar Rush''. To say that the pink pony would host a party and devour all of the world would be an understatement.
** Oddly enough, their conflict can lead to some very interesting fights, since they both make use of teleportation but in [[OffscreenTeleportation different]] [[TeleportSpam ways]]. So far, out of this restriction, Vanellope is the only God who has had her ascension party away from her temple out of "safety" concerns.
** In Pinkie Pie's defense, she knows how hard and how much fun Vanellope and Ralph had building that car and [[PinkySwear "Pinkie Promises"]] that she isn't going to eat it. The one Vanellope has to watch out for is [[{{Pantheon/Food}} Kirby]].
** While she is a bit weary of Kirby, both have agreed to ban [[Pantheon/{{Shape}} Kero]] from their respective temples due to his own voracious appetite for sweets. With the recent ascension of Anarchy Stocking, she has also been banned seeing as her own appetite for sweets is greater than Kero's.
* When she's not teleporting, Vanellope is usually seen hanging out with Ralph and riding in her car. She recently gave him enough driving lessons so that [[Videogame/SegaSuperstars he could participate in some racing of his own.]]
** That said, she never uses her teleporting to cheat when she races with other gods.
* Residing over glitches that become well known, Vanellope is capable of giving most--if not ''all''--video game characters new techniques, power-ups, etc.
* After her ascension, she has been ''fiercely'' guarded by not only Ralph, but many of the female goddess in the Pantheon due to all of the crap she had to go through. It is also not a good idea to bully her in Ralph's presence, because he will ''[[IncrediblyLamePun wreck you]]'' [[PapaWolf if you do.]]
** There was a bit of an episode regarding [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Rena Ryuguu]] going "OMOCHIKAERI!!!!". However, Ralph takes it all in stride in the fact that Rena doesn't hurt Vanellope, the fact that Vanellope could just teleport out of Rena's grasp at any time, and also because the two became very close friends.
* Hangs out with many of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestrian deities]], ''especially'' [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} the Cutie Mark Crusaders.]] Vanellope does her best to help the CMC find their Cutie Marks and was amazed at how Apple Bloom created her own cart. Apple Bloom, for the most part, has been humble about her skills in building.
** With Ralph now in the House of Ambiguity, Vanellope and the Cutie Mark Crusaders can be seen having play dates. Many of the gods there know not to get in their way else [[PapaWolf Ralph]] will have a word with them.
* [[spoiler: Due to her origins as a princess]], many have suggested she move to the House of Royalty. Vanellope declined all invitations, because she doesn't believe that it truly defines her, and is happy in the House of Gaming.
* Had an encounter with Kite, who initially believed she was some sort of an illegal glitch. She quickly explained her origins--including her tragic backstory--to him, and the two have become good friends, having friendly races with her car and him riding Grunties.
* Once ran afoul with [[Pantheon/{{Crime}} Carmen Sandiego]] when she stole the Sugar Rush Winner's Cup. Vanellope requested that Ralph appeal to Carmen villain-to-villain, but Ralph asserted that Carmen was only challenging Vanellope the way bad guys are supposed to do and insisted she would play Carmen's game and take it back herself. Once Vanellope recovered the Cup, Carmen offered Vanellope a position as a VILE operative, but Vanellope insisted that she's not a thief. [[HypocriticalHumor Ralph begged to differ.]]
* Became instant friends with Jade and Tohru, as the two's friendship reminded her of herself and Ralph. Vanellope loves Jade's adventures with Jackie and is in awe of Tohru's Chi Wizard training. The fact that Ralph also saw a little of himself in Tohru also counts.
* Joined the Mario gang for a round of ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'', especially on the track Sweet Sweet Canyon, as it reminds her a lot like home.
* As Ermac came into being through equal parts fanon and glitching, they have formed a strong bond with her for presiding over [[AscendedGlitch Ascended Glitches]]
* [[Disney/RalphBreaksTheInternet Recently]], she's been seen hitting it off quite well with the other Franchise/{{Disney princess}}es in the Pantheon, introducing them to modern clothing and having sleepovers once a month.
** She's also had to [[spoiler:re-model her temple so that it's both a combination of ''Sugar Rush'' and ''Slaughter Race'' and has gained a kinship with Wonder Woman because the latter [[Creator/GalGadot reminds her]] of Shank (who is now her herald).]]

* Weird relations: [[Pantheon/{{Undertale}} The ascended inhabitants of the Underground]]
* Under examination by: The House of Gaming, [[Pantheon/MainHouse The SCP Foundation]]
* Somewhere in Limbo, there is an unusual game called Pony Island made by Lucifer that is designed to take the souls of those who play it. Unfortunately for him, there's too many programming errors present in his game, but he's still determined to get it to work regardless. Hopeless Soul, the soul of someone who previously played that game, helps those who are "trapped" in this game find their way out and possibly save some of the other souls in the process. Azazel, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus guard the core files through various means. Baphomet isn't much of a talker, but he somehow knows a lot about those who play the game Lucifer made.
* The House of Gaming got a bit uncomfortable when they found an arcade cabinet that they don't remember talking about or seeing beforehand during a check. A little later, someone visiting the house found the cabinet and decided to play it. Some time after that, the being hasn't been seen within Pantheon grounds. And then much more later, others have been disappearing and these disappearances could be traced to the House of Gaming. Eventually, the missing deities were found and the arcade machine had to be examined when it was discovered that it was the source of these disappearances.
** Some of the Gaming members, alongside The SCP Foundation which had received word of the incident, visited the Technology house to see if a closer look at the arcade machine was possible. One of the things that was discovered was that the machine was known to glitch out sporadically and led to certain things to allow further progression. Although the Technology house offered to keep the machine for further examination since the Gaming House already had Polybius, another unusual arcade machine, to deal with, the Gaming house decided to keep the machine for further examination. That said, the Technology House and The SCP Foundation are still welcome to look for any more weird findings this machine possesses.
*** Under no circumstances is anyone allowed to place the Polybius and Pony Island cabinets in close proximity to each other. The House of Gaming isn't sure what, if anything, would happen, but they're not willing to take the risk.
* Within the Pantheon itself, it is a little more difficult to access the machine IRL given the circumstances. In cyberspace however, the process is a bit easier since it exists as a program within that plane. This program is still a bit of a dangerous place to go to regardless of how to get there.
* No one has any idea as to the exact time period the machine was made given that the graphics look very dated, there is an operating system that is just as outdated, and the monitor looks a bit old. Not only that, the machine is able to print out tickets and even has KnockoutGas built in as well. Most aren't really convinced that 1992 was when it was made despite the "copyright claim" on its title screen.
* Aside from the titular game, which is a runner-type game with shooting elements, this machine contains some other unused, unfinished, and unusual data. Among them include a 3D version of the game, a text adventure, and a file named "[=PonyIsland=].META". There is a lot of confusion as to how the latter file even works.
* A handful of computer hackers have taken an interest in this machine given its properties. Although Hopeless Soul doesn't mind the benevolent hackers that much, Lucifer has a bigger issue with them, regardless of if they're good or evil.
* Kirito & Asuna are both amicable towards Hopeless Soul as they all know what it's like to get trapped inside a game and make their way out of it while trying to avoid death (though in Hopeless Soul's case, the Pony Island players are more or less already dead).
* [[spoiler:As it turns out, Hopeless Soul is capable of being a little more powerful than he appears to be, but only to those who are interested in seeing everything the machine has to offer.]] Soul collectors such as Shang Tsung and Shadow Fiend immediately took an interest upon hearing about it from others.
* The Mane Six got really annoyed when they found out that a game with a name like "Pony Island" would serve a sinister purpose. Although they were told that one of Lucifer's possible intentions with the game was to make friends, they feel that using a demonic arcade cabinet is not a good way to accomplish that friendship-based motive. The Mane Six's friends are also disapproving of that machine given the design of it, though the Mane Six's enemies don't care a whole lot about it.
* Lucifer expects those who play their game to play fairly, even if the programming leaves a lot to be desired. He is unable to tolerate cheaters such as Bandit Keith and Wario since their antics go against how Lucifer intends his game to be played.
** This attitude earned the admiration of Dr. Hax, who has been encouraging Lucifer to be more aggressive in snuffing out cheaters who play Pony Island. Dr. Hax is still trying to look at how to throw CRT monitors at the arcade machine so it can only target Hopeless Soul and other cheating players. Entering cyberspace, accessing "Pony Island" from there, and then chucking CRT monitors at the offending cheaters is another option Dr. Hax is considering.
* On one hand, Dhuum has a bit of respect towards Lucifer for having very little tolerance towards cheaters. On the other hand, Dhuum believes that Lucifer should just take the souls sooner instead of trapping them in a poorly-functioning arcade machine, though Lucifer is still insistent that his game works.
* It may be plausible that the machine knows a bit about the inhabitants of the Underground given [[ShoutOut a few things there]]. That said, it's not the place (or game) to talk about a certain someone that may or may not be connected to the Human Child.
** Speaking of the Human Child, that person has been a subject of interest for those inside the machine. Lucifer would like to have him try out Pony Island, while all what Hopeless Soul wants is the Human Child to be safe.
** Flowey got a bit of time in his hands and watched someone related to the game named Louey. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Flowey was actually amused by it]], if only because of the presumed similarities present between them.
* No one is certain as to what will happen should Ermac, who is known to house around ten thousand souls, play the game. Regardless of what will happen, Ermac doesn't want anything to do with the machine, especially in regards to its soul-stealing creator Lucifer.
* The Lucifer and Beelzebub who are related to this machine have no connection whatsoever to a different [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Lucifer]] and [[Pantheon/{{Insects}} Beelzebub]]. Nevertheless, the leader of the GUAC finds it amusing that someone who shares the same name as him would attempt to make an arcade game with a "cutesy" appearance, only for it to end up having a lot of programming flaws present.
** When it comes to differentiating the Lucifers and Beelzebubs, this Beelzebub is addressed as Beelzebub.EXE. As for this Lucifer, referring to him as [=SystemTech=] is something that wouldn't be considered ridiculous.
* Baphomet knows a lot of things, be it the past, present, and maybe the future. In fact, it's possible he knows about the Pantheon entirely, but when others try to ask him about it, they aren't given a proper response since Baphomet only wants his visitors to ask questions about themselves.
** Dust seems to believe that Baphomet could provide some answers in his current journey. Although it's unclear as to how that's turning out, Dust has gotten along reasonably well with Hopeless Soul.
* There's only a few shared threats that face the inhabitants of this game. Agent Smith has been looking into the machine and has considered using it as a stepping stone in his goals. Both Lucifer and Hopeless Soul hate Nobuyuki Sugou for his cheating attitude and usage of a game to kidnap others, respectively. Hopeless Soul also doesn't want to get involved with Love Machine at all. Lucifer hates the AI for reasons that should be obvious by now.
* One of the lingering questions about this machine is if there's even more to it than there already is, and it's a question that has been particularly asked by those who have a knack of investigating the highly unusual. One of the more wild theories out there is that [[spoiler:Lucifer is "playing" all the roles of those already existing inside, including that of Hopeless Soul.]] Whether that theory, alongside various other ones, is true or not remains to be seen.

* In the world of Animal Crossing, things happen in real-time, much like an ordinary world would. That also means there are a few rules in place as to making sure fairness happens in that world. If for some unforeseen reason any human inhabitant decides to reset, they'll be greeted by Mr. Resetti, a short-tempered mole that delivers long-winded tangents to to those who reset their run.
** For all of that anger Resetti has, he's actually a pretty well-meaning guy who's just very stressed about the work he has to do. In fact, him looking for when resets happen and chewing out the offender is pretty much the only thing that he can do at all.
* The Reset Surveillance Center is the base of operations for him and his brother Don. This is actually Resetti's temple and it was built by the Villager partially thanks to the latter's funds. The Surveillance Center doesn't get much visitors likely due to the place being open to visit during late hours, but the visitors do sometimes get a chance to see what happens up-close if a "reset" is detected.
* Having had experience in dealing with those who "reset", Resetti was quick to learn that there were other forms of cheating and that there were a fair number of cheaters in the Pantheon. The mole knew that his job was going to be much more difficult than it was before, but ultimately followed through on delivering rants to cheaters such as Bandit Keith.
** This includes delivering rants on those who would attempt to use codes to cheat their way to things that were DummiedOut of existence. He did learn that [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Mitsuru Kirijo]] and [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Fuuka Yamagishi]] supposedly delivered these kinds of lectures before.
* During one of [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the Smash Tournaments]], Resetti managed to show up and deliver a few of his long-winded rants there. None of the competitors involved really paid any attention to him and at times would leave the mole behind, much to his frustration.
* Resetti's rants have been known to annoy those who listen to them, but the annoyance that results from them is not on the same level as that of Excalibur's. Resetti had the misfortune of meeting with him one time and the encounter went so badly that the mole refuses to talk about it.
* Even though both Resetti and Dr. Hax both share the same idea that cheating should not happen, they don't agree with the other's method of punishing cheaters. Dr. Hax thinks that just yelling at cheaters is too lenient and that the cheaters in question may end up causing problems again. Resetti thinks that using things like CRT monitors and hammers, alongside Hax going after any and all cheaters regardless of their intention without giving anyone another chance is too harsh. Resetti having met those who had to reset not out of selfishness, but because they didn't have any other option, could be the source of the conflict between Resetti and Hax.
** The mole subsequently heard of Dhuum, another being who opposed cheaters and paid him a visit, somehow. Resetti found out that Dhuum was even more out there compared to Hax, but since death and the afterlife are out of Resetti's control, there wasn't much the mole could do about Dhuum and punishing cheaters (the ones that don't cheat death, that is).
** Out of those who have a philosophy of disliking cheaters, the only one that Resetti was able to be on good terms with was Harth Stonebrew. Harth being an overall nice guy and understanding the troubles the mole has gone through may have helped mellow out Resetti's temper somewhat.
* Although Resetti doesn't hold any sort of serious grudge against those who are capable of digging, he did warn them that they shouldn't dig so close to his headquarters or just him in general since the digging of others could get in the way of his routine to dig to those who have reset.
* If there is one deity that Resetti hates the most, it would have to be Flowey. The latter SaveScumming for malicious purposes has left Resetti in a rage when he found out. Flowey has constantly taunted Resetti about how the mole is powerless to do anything other than complain at the offender and not do anything substantial about it.
** This later led Resetti to Sans, who has had experience in dealing with recurring experiences and putting up with them. The two are understandably affected by their own experiences. All told, they are often seen talking to each other about their respective jobs.
* Deadpool has proven to be a recurring source of irritation for Resetti due to the former's craziness. What is a particular sore spot for Resetti is how Deadpool sometimes interrupts the mole's reset-related lectures to talk about the fourth wall, a concept that Resetti doesn't seem to fully understand (partially in regards to resets). The Merc with the Mouth seems to be unfazed by Resetti's rants, as far as some witnesses could tell.
** To a potentially greater extent, Resetti has no tolerance whatsoever for Nefarian, another deity with some sort of acknowledgment of the fourth wall. The dragon has been more proactive in mocking the mole over lecturing others over something that can't be remedied, with Flowey sometimes joining in with Nefarian on riling Resetti. Doesn't help that Nefarian [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPMPv7_YbrY&t=0m24s partakes in a bit of cheating as well]].
* Upon learning that there was someone who was capable of utilizing a ResetButton, Resetti set out to find who it was. It took him a bit of time before stumbling upon [[Pantheon/TimeAndSpace Whis]], who had that ResetButton power. When Resetti asked for an explanation on it, Whis said that the ResetButton powers in hand were to be used only in dire situations (like the world getting destroyed). The encounter ended with Resetti telling Whis to be careful.
** Resetti's stay at the House of Time & Space took a bit longer than he anticipated given that he learned from those from that house that there were various time-travelers. Unsurprisingly, the mole got angry with the time-travelers who were using that ability to do selfish actions or worse. When it came to time-travelers who were using that ability for good, Resetti showed a bit of concern. He does understand why they have to do that, but he's more concerned about what could change in the present if the past is altered.
* Given how Resetti has been able to show up just after any kind of reset happened back in his own world, many are wondering what would happen if different universes implemented a similar plan, with someone chewing out the offending reseter if a restart occurs. Those talks haven't gone far, due to the mole being overworked and weary as is.

* Opposes: Any Gods and Goddesses voiced by Creator/YoshitsuguMatsuoka, Creator/HarukaTomatsu, Creator/BrycePapenbrook, and Creator/CheramiLeigh.
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas Kazuto Kirigaya/Kirito and Asuna Yuuki]], [[Pantheon/CyberneticsAndEnhancements Krim Steinbelt]], every fairy and elf deity, [[Pantheon/{{Gameplay}} Sark]], [[Pantheon/VillainousArchetypes Enter]] (Both surprisingly).
* A former follower of Ryoma Sengoku who managed to ascend in the pantheon after Sengoku was impressed with Sugou's crimes for hijacking the minds of Asuna Yuuki and the other 300 SAO survivors as his test subjects for his MindControl research while Sengoku encourages him to get his revenge on Kirito for ruining his plans [[spoiler: before Sengoku gives him the [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Genesis Driver and a complete version of the Dragonfruit Energy Lockseed]] as a gift for his ascension]].
* Both Tenjuro Banno and Ragyo Kiryuin were also became intrigued with his crimes while Sugou has the same reaction to them, since then he became supportive to both Banno and Ragyo as they made a plan to [[spoiler:brainwash every good deities in the pantheon [[ForTheEvulz for their evil purposes]]]].
* However, his ascension has brought bad news to him as he was given a restriction of him shouldn't go near Kirito & Asuna while he was stripped of his powers as Oberon due to him committing a crime for using an unreleased, yet overpowered, spell on Kirito while he viciously assaults Asuna back in ALO.
* He also got banned in the House of Technology because of his obsession over his MindControl research. Moreover, he is enemies with the VR Trooper Ryan Steele because the latter remarks Sugou of him being similar to Ryan's ArchEnemy Karl Ziktor a.k.a. Grimlord for being a CorruptCorporateExecutive and also [[AGodAmI the evil ruler of the virtual world]]. He is also being opposed by Krim Steinbelt since Sugou had sided with Banno and Krim considered him a threat to many good-aligned scientists.
* Both Kirito and Asuna were enraged by his presence after his ascension since they had a lot of issues with him as mentioned above. On top of that, many of Kirito's associates like Yui, Silica, Leafa, Sinon, and Yuuki, doesn't like his guts either as they were glad that he got banned in the House of Gaming for being the Abusive Game Master he is. This doesn't help either that Sark also lose his interest in him especially for his [[WhatAnIdiot idiotic acts]] that leads to his downfall.
** He has earned the outright ''hatred'' of Yuuki Konno The Zekken ("Absolute Sword"), Asuna's Dearest Friend and ''the'' Greatest Warrior of Alfheim Online; who in uncertain terms made clear to him that he will '''not''' "walk away as a man" if he dares to lay another finger, much less his filthy tongue, on Asuan ''ever'' again.
* Has made an alliance with the Trollkaiger, Monokuma, and [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]], as he was amused of their actions of playing a cruel joke on both Kirito and Asuna for locking them away from each other for a couple of weeks. He was very satisfied of their suffering upon hearing this incident.
** Moreover, the Mastermind [[spoiler:Junko]] also made a proposal to Sugou to work alongside her for her plans to create the "Pantheonic School Life of Mutual Killing", with him being in charge of [[spoiler: brainwashing every potential participants]] in the said death game.
* His crimes had made him a public enemy in the eyes of heroic Kamen Riders in the pantheon, especially with Kouta Kazuraba since Sugou's actions are considered to be [[CompleteMonster despicable in the same vein as Redyue]], Kaito Kumon also hates his guts because his actions considers him a literal cheater and dishonorable human being. He was also being hated by Shinji Kido and Ren Akiyama due to the fact that his stint as a KillerGameMaster is much worse than what Shiro Kanzaki did.
* Has made enemies with the likes of Deadpool and Zechs Merquise not only because [[Creator/TakehitoKoyasu they sounded similar]], but both of them were disgusted with his bad reputation as the former hates his guts with a passion and the latter sees him as nothing but a disgrace to his standards.
* 765 Pro does not like him, as he reminds them of Takao Kuroi. This isn't helped by the fact that they [[Creator/TakehitoKoyasu sound similar]]. Producer-san and Hayate Immelmann have made it their mission to keep him away from getting to the 765 Pro idols.
* Though proclaiming himself as a warrior, [[Pantheon/CommonColors Khorne]] isn't impressed. At the end of the day [[DirtyCoward he's a coward]] and a cheater, and that makes the Blood God RAGE. Slaanesh, however, has taken an interest in him and Sugou serves under She Who Thirsts.
* Sugou grew his hate towards every deities that sounded like Kirito or Asuna since this is something to do with his downfall back then, because of this he starts to attack them filled with hate and depravity. However, he found a lot of oppositions in the form of Soma Yukihira, Lubbock, Eren Yeager, the Naegi Siblings, Iona Hikawa, and Shana, due to the fact they shared their dislike towards him.
* Many Elf and Fairy deities in the pantheon grew their disgusts towards him because his title as "Oberon" had made him a disgrace to them after they notice his countless crimes back then.
* Is frequently seen Playing Poker at the BadGuyBar of the Pantheons with Vampire Lord Dio Brando (with Darby Senior as the dealer, naturally); aside from also being a perverted blond sociopath wihthout an ounce of decency or morality, Sugou enjoys his company as [[Creator/TakehitoKoyasu he sounds exactly like him when speaking Japanese.]]
** Other fellow tyrants who shares poker and beer at Sugou's table include Frieza and Jareth The Goblin King in the BadGuyBar of the Pantheons, sharing stories with the former of how he was ''also'' sliced and diced into pieces by another [[Characters/KazutoKirigaya Pretty-Boy Teenage Swordsman]], and consoling the latter for also being an evil fairy king who tried and failed to win the heart of an underaged but strong-willed beauty.
** Has also gained the friendship of one Judge Claude Frollo, another tyrant with a penchant for tying up helpless young women force themselves sexually upon and abusing his authority to satisfy his lust for power and carnal pleasures.

'''[[Anime/YuGiOh Keith Howard]], God of [[CheatersNeverProsper Unsuccessful Cheaters]] and [[SoreLoser Sore Losers]]''' (Bandit Keith)
[[quoteright:241:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bandit_keith_6205.png]]
* Quasideity.
* Symbol: An [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead American flag bandanna]]
* Theme music: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-iG-IHE_40 Bandit Keith's theme]]
* Alignment: ChaoticNeutral
* Portfolio: SoreLoser, CheatersNeverProsper, SmugSnake, [[{{TheBrute}} constantly]] [[TheBully picking on]] [[{{Jerkass}} teenagers]], HairTriggerTemper, BigBadWannabe, AssholeVictim, UnsportsmanlikeGloating, [[SunglassesAtNight always wearing]] [[CoolShades Cool and]] [[SinisterShades Sinister Shades]], KillerRobot, WearingAFlagOnYourHead, {{Eagleland}} (Type 2), [[spoiler:SparedByTheAdaptation]], AdaptationalBadass

* Allies: [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} Dick Dastardly]], [[Pantheon/CommercialAttitude Wario]], [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Waluigi]], [[Pantheon/EmotionalCombat Aran Ryan]]
* Enemies: Yugi Mutou, [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Yusei Fudo]], [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Seto Kaiba]], '''[[Pantheon/{{Unpopularity}} Katsuya Jonouchi]]''' (aka Joey Wheeler), [[Pantheon/RomanticOrientation Pegasus J. Crawford]] (aka Maximillion Pegasus)
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Luckiness}} Judai Yuki]], [[Pantheon/{{Heroes}} Captain America]]
* Pitied by: Yugi Mutou, [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Yuma]] [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Tsukumo]]
* Drinking Buddies with: [[Pantheon/{{Food}} The Most Interesting Man in the World]]
* Gained the title due to his actions during Duelist Kingdom. After Duel Monsters creator Pegasus humiliated him in a duel, he entered the tournament uninvited and cheated his way into the finals, cheated during his and Jounouchi's duel, and tried to threaten Pegasus into giving him the prize money after losing. Unfortunately for him, said duel turned out to be a [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame Shadow Game]] controlled by Pegasus, who caught his foul play. Whatever happened to him after that (sources differ [[note]]He either got thrown from an island and later [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlled]], or [[spoiler:he got ''KilledOffForReal'']] [[/note]]), it wasn't nice.
** Also notable is that his initial loss against Pegasus led him into: [[TheAlcoholic drinking]], entering a card game tournament in a deserted island, luring Jonouchi (a teenager) into a trap to watch his strategy, stealing the entry card to the finals from that teenager, beating up [[RunningGag the teenager's]] shorter and weaker friend for almost catching him on the act, [[SerialEscalation pointing a gun at Pegasus after losing a duel with said teenager]], and in [[Manga/YuGiOhR one continuity]], [[spoiler:''actually getting resurrected'' to have a rematch. [[OverlyLongGag With the teenager]]]]. His utter inability to accept loss made him worthy of his [[SoreLoser second title]].
** ... It should be said, though, that in [[VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction several]] [[VideoGame/YuGiOhCapsuleMonsterColiseum video game]] [[VideoGame/YuGiOhNightmareTroubadour adaptations]], [[AdaptationalBadass Keith is actually a genuine threat]], having usurped control of the Ghouls from Marik, facing off against the Other [=Yugi/Yami=] Yugi ''without'' cheating, defeating Jounouchi in battle, gained the ability to initiate deadly Shadow Games, and stealing the Millennium Items to control the Winged Dragon of Ra. These accomplishments, while dangerous, are usually foiled by the mysterious being playing the games. (It doesn't help that Ra was stuck in its Sphere Mode.) Then again, there are doubts about [[AlternateContinuity the veracity of these events]].
* Is somewhat of an UnreliableNarrator, constantly saying the title as the champion was wrongfully taken from him (and beating up anyone who says otherwise). Contradicting stories circulate about his [[http://yumetabibito.tumblr.com/post/29886118649 encounters]] with mortal Jounouchi (Joey Wheeler) pre-ascension.
** [[Anime/YuGiOh One version]] (the one Keith supports and tries to keep circulating... with [[AdaptationDisplacement a lot of success, surprisingly]]) says that Jounouchi confronted him (because of the aforementioned "luring the teen into a cave" thing) and tried [[AdaptationalWimp rather]] [[EpicFail ineffectively]] to beat him up, [[AdaptationalBadass which Keith dodged with ease]]. Nothing major came of it.
** The ''[[Manga/YuGiOh other version]]'', supported by Yugi Mutou and the mortal himself, says that the blond found Keith beating the living daylights out of Yugi, who had tried to call him out after catching him outside of Jounouchi’s room (right after the older man had stolen Jou’s entry card to the finals, no less). [[CurbstompBattle Jounouchi promptly kicked his ass]].
** Regardless of which version is true, Keith often boasts that he's glad that the young man will probably never ascend to the Pantheon - as it should be. Other gods can't help but think [[AndThenWhat he feels]] [[DesperatelySeekingAPurposeInLife another way entirely]], however.
* Not powerful enough to be considered a threat, but enough of an asshole for most of the weaker and/or smarter deities to avoid him. That doesn't stop him from trying to pick fights with weaker deities to pass the time, though. Unfortunately, he once tried to provoke a seemingly weak newcomer by pressing his buttons (that is, insulting the boy's clan). Unfortunately, that "weakling" [[OhCrap was none other than]] [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Kurapika]]. [[MusclesAreMeaningless Given what]] [[CurbstompBattle happened next]], we can reasonably conclude at this point that Keith [[TooDumbToLive isn't all]] [[ButtMonkey that smart, either]].
* Used to look for Demigods and Quasideities to try to blackmail into kidnapping Yugi, just so he could have a duel and beat him (or beat him up, more likely), but got caught by Yusei Fudo. [[CurbstompBattle One roundhouse]] [[RuleOfThree kick later]], Keith went to other sections of the House of Gaming to restore some of his dignity as a former champion... only to end up cheating at every game he found [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin until he got caught]] by Seto Kaiba. [[BreakTheHaughty Now]], Keith spends most of his free time in [[DrowningMySorrows the bars in the House of Food]]. He has The Most Interesting Man in the World as company, at least.
** Even after [[HumiliationConga everything that's happened]] (which also made Keith gain opposition from Yugi fan Judai Yuki), [[NiceGuy Yugi himself]] can't help but feel sorry for him. Not that he has forgotten what a jerk Bandit Keith has been ([[AssholeVictim and still is]]); he certainly recognizes that his [[TheBully actions]] and cheating habits must be stopped. But rumors have started circulating of the King of Games planning to redeem the guy somehow. True or not, fellow duelist Yuma Tsukumo is totally down for the idea. [[IdiotHero Which doesn't make anyone else feel better about it]].
* Somehow, however, despite his {{Jerkass}} deeds and not being able to win a single duel on-screen, he avoided being sent to the Disgraces or the Fallen. The reason given was his [[EnsembleDarkhorse inexplicable popularity with the fan base]], especially [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff in his (in-universe) country of origin]].
** Oddly, a [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries big deal seems to have been made from his nationality]], (particularly the way he [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead very visually represents it]]), and [[MemeticMutation has come to be known]] as some sort of [[PatrioticFervor American nationalist]] as a result. Even though that's not quite true, Keith has decided to embrace this reputation due to [[ThrowTheDogABone the popularity boost it brings him]].[[note]]... [[CatchPhrase In America!]][[/note]]... That won't go to his head, [[TemptingFate hopefully]].
** This makes him not very well liked by some gods, though. Captain America in particular is not much of a fan of his, not just because of Keith's overly-patriotic persona, but because of his [[TheBully true nature]]; therefore, he avoids him as much as possible. [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger The super-soldier doesn't like bullies, after all]].
* Unfortunately for everyone, Keith has been befriended by Dick Dastardly, Wario and Waluigi. The guy doesn't really know what to think of his new mustached pals, but they have encouraged him to keep doing his dastardly deeds and make pride of his title. Sadly, it doesn't look like he'll be reforming anytime soon.
* Should Keith ''win'' a duel, expect him to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D0vuezf2zA rub it in your face]].
* Has recently befriended fellow cheater Aran Ryan. They are known around the pantheon as the "Cheater Duo".
* Also has a spot in the House of Pantheon/{{Sports}}.

[[caption-width-right:350:Heh.]]
* Greater God
* Symbol: A stylized eye with a scar running through it.
* Theme Music: [[https://chrischristodoulou.bandcamp.com/track/precipitation Precipitation - Risk of Rain OST]]
* The Godmodder has two split personalities, each with their own body: Omega and Alpha. Alpha is the personality who fought his way onto this Pantheon.
* Alignments: Omega - Chaotic Evil. Alpha - Neutral Evil.
* Portfolio: GodModders, PlayByPostGames, [[BossGame Boss Games]], ContractualBossImmunity, GodDamnedBoss, NighInvulnerable.
* Domain: Godmoding and godmodding. Uses his ultimate power over the Source Code of Reality to make the lives of everyone around him utter hell. If people rage quit, he makes money.
* Followers: Powergamers, metagamers, godmodders, those that he bribes or brainwashes, and people that try to ruin other people's work [[ForTheEvulz for no other reason than because.]]
* Allies: None. Unless you count the immense numbers of people and things that have been forced into fighting for him.
** Unless you count himself from another dimension, who decided to lend a hand during his battle pre-ascension.
* Rivals: Everyone.
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/GamingGenres Steve?]], Team Mojang, the entire [[Pantheon/{{Defense}} House of Defense]], [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Sonic the Hedgehog]], [[Pantheon/{{Crime}} Carmen Sandiego]], a significant number of other gods in the Pantheon.
* Opposed by: Just about everyone he's ever trolled or attempted to troll, as well as the majority of the people who've been swept up in the chaos caused by said trolling attempts.
* He is willing to start a fight with anyone, over anything. Although he has complete control over the art of godmodding, he sometimes bites off more than he can chew.
** That's mainly because although he's one of the most powerful warriors in existence, he's really, really bad at remembering to use his powers effectively.
* He has no real friends in the Pantheon, because he thinks he's better than all of them put together, although there's some evidence that he's got strings tied to a handful of the other gods. Its known that he has had contacts with some of the members of [[Pantheon/{{Villains}} the house of Villains]], but it is not known who he still has contacts with.
* His biggest claim to fame is trapping the entire playerbase of Minecraft on one gigantic server, and installing a virus on all of their computers so that they couldn't leave. The war that followed resulted in the destruction of three gigantic universes, the displacement of millions of lives, the weakening of the fabric of reality, and the subsequent uprising of the Conflict, the greatest evil known to existence.
* Alpha attacked the Pantheon after splitting apart from the Godmodder and moving away from Minecraftia. [[https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/posts.php?discussion=13969038880A73377900&page=1 After his war went on for a ridiculously long period of time,]] he was finally killed. When Alpha immediately respawned at full health, the Pantheon gave him godhood to avoid anything too cataclysmic from happening.
* Is notorious throughout the entire Pantheon for being capable of taking down various other gods in one-on-one combat frequently and regularly, ''before'' he ascended.
* Is feared by large portions of the Pantheon for the event that got him ascended, which laid waste to large portions of the Pantheon grounds, but due to the fact that one of the many Pantheon civil wars was happening at the time, only some of the gods were able to respond, and those that did are among the most worried about his presence.
* His standing with the House of Villains is unknown, several members of the house tend to hide when he comes nearby, most notably Starscream.
* Is widely reputed throughout the Pantheon for successfully raiding the Vault, with the house of defense on high alert no less.
* Successfully pissed off the majority of the House of Time and Space and the House of Life and Death due to an incident involving the Glitch, which some believe to be a different incarnation of Missingno. Either way, even after the Glitch was destroyed, lingering anomalies took months for the two houses to clean up, leaving him with a rather antagonistic relationship towards them.
** This also earned him the ire of a large portion of the House of Gaming, as the Glitch's death revealed that its arrival had brought back Missingno itself from a period of slumber.

* His {{Reality Warp|er}}ing corruption powers are completely random and he has little control over them. If he had more control over them he'd count as an Overdeity, but he doesn't so he's simply a Greater God.
* Due to his inability to control his corruption powers, he has destroyed many video game worlds every time they crash. When that happens, he simply brings them back to corrupt them all over again.
* Mario and Link's worlds are his favorite to corrupt making them the biggest victims of accidental world destruction.
* [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Donkey Kong]] and the Franchise/FinalFantasy team are the only known people to resist his corruption powers. Though, he has gotten Donkey Kong to work a few times.

* Ralph asked the Gods to include Vanellope into the Pantheon [[spoiler: once she learned to control her glitching and make it her teleporting powers.]] Seeing as how much Ralph has done for her, they agreed. The two reunited with hugs and insults.
* Is able to be at any place at any time due to her teleporting, constantly questioning about stuff and having a good time. She loves joking around and messing with them, but she never intentionally does any harm.
* Has tried multiple times in making [[{{Pantheon/Theater}} Pinkie Pie]] stay ''far, far away'' from her car and to the entrance of ''Sugar Rush''. To say that the pink pony would host a party and devour all of the world would be an understatement.
** Oddly enough, their conflict can lead to some very interesting fights, since they both make use of teleportation but in [[OffscreenTeleportation different]] [[TeleportSpam ways]]. So far, out of this restriction, Vanellope is the only God who has had her ascension party away from her temple out of "safety" concerns.
** In Pinkie Pie's defense, she knows how hard and how much fun Vanellope and Ralph had building that car and [[PinkySwear "Pinkie Promises"]] that she isn't going to eat it. The one Vanellope has to watch out for is [[{{Pantheon/Food}} Kirby]].
** While she is a bit weary of Kirby, both have agreed to ban [[Pantheon/{{Shape}} Kero]] from their respective temples due to his own voracious appetite for sweets. With the recent ascension of Anarchy Stocking, she has also been banned seeing as her own appetite for sweets is greater than Kero's.
* When she's not teleporting, Vanellope is usually seen hanging out with Ralph and riding in her car. She recently gave him enough driving lessons so that [[Videogame/SegaSuperstars he could participate in some racing of his own.]]
** That said, she never uses her teleporting to cheat when she races with other gods.
* Residing over glitches that become well known, Vanellope is capable of giving most--if not ''all''--video game characters new techniques, power-ups, etc.
* After her ascension, she has been ''fiercely'' guarded by not only Ralph, but many of the female goddess in the Pantheon due to all of the crap she had to go through. It is also not a good idea to bully her in Ralph's presence, because he will ''[[IncrediblyLamePun wreck you]]'' [[PapaWolf if you do.]]
** There was a bit of an episode regarding [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Rena Ryuguu]] going "OMOCHIKAERI!!!!". However, Ralph takes it all in stride in the fact that Rena doesn't hurt Vanellope, the fact that Vanellope could just teleport out of Rena's grasp at any time, and also because the two became very close friends.
* Hangs out with many of the [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Equestrian deities]], ''especially'' [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} the Cutie Mark Crusaders.]] Vanellope does her best to help the CMC find their Cutie Marks and was amazed at how Apple Bloom created her own cart. Apple Bloom, for the most part, has been humble about her skills in building.
** With Ralph now in the House of Ambiguity, Vanellope and the Cutie Mark Crusaders can be seen having play dates. Many of the gods there know not to get in their way else [[PapaWolf Ralph]] will have a word with them.
* [[spoiler: Due to her origins as a princess]], many have suggested she move to the House of Royalty. Vanellope declined all invitations, because she doesn't believe that it truly defines her, and is happy in the House of Gaming.
* Had an encounter with Kite, who initially believed she was some sort of an illegal glitch. She quickly explained her origins--including her tragic backstory--to him, and the two have become good friends, having friendly races with her car and him riding Grunties.
* Once ran afoul with [[Pantheon/{{Crime}} Carmen Sandiego]] when she stole the Sugar Rush Winner's Cup. Vanellope requested that Ralph appeal to Carmen villain-to-villain, but Ralph asserted that Carmen was only challenging Vanellope the way bad guys are supposed to do and insisted she would play Carmen's game and take it back herself. Once Vanellope recovered the Cup, Carmen offered Vanellope a position as a VILE operative, but Vanellope insisted that she's not a thief. [[HypocriticalHumor Ralph begged to differ.]]
* Became instant friends with Jade and Tohru, as the two's friendship reminded her of herself and Ralph. Vanellope loves Jade's adventures with Jackie and is in awe of Tohru's Chi Wizard training. The fact that Ralph also saw a little of himself in Tohru also counts.
* Joined the Mario gang for a round of ''VideoGame/MarioKart8'', especially on the track Sweet Sweet Canyon, as it reminds her a lot like home.
* As Ermac came into being through equal parts fanon and glitching, they have formed a strong bond with her for presiding over [[AscendedGlitch Ascended Glitches]]
* [[Disney/RalphBreaksTheInternet Recently]], she's been seen hitting it off quite well with the other Franchise/{{Disney princess}}es in the Pantheon, introducing them to modern clothing and having sleepovers once a month.
** She's also had to [[spoiler:re-model her temple so that it's both a combination of ''Sugar Rush'' and ''Slaughter Race'' and has gained a kinship with Wonder Woman because the latter [[Creator/GalGadot reminds her]] of Shank (who is now her herald).]]

* Disliked by: [[Pantheon/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic The Mane Six and their friends]]
* Weird relations: [[Pantheon/{{Undertale}} The ascended inhabitants of the Underground]]
* Under examination by: The House of Gaming, [[Pantheon/MainHouse The SCP Foundation]]
* Somewhere in Limbo, there is an unusual game called Pony Island made by Lucifer that is designed to take the souls of those who play it. Unfortunately for him, there's too many programming errors present in his game, but he's still determined to get it to work regardless. Hopeless Soul, the soul of someone who previously played that game, helps those who are "trapped" in this game find their way out and possibly save some of the other souls in the process. Azazel, Beelzebub, and Asmodeus guard the core files through various means. Baphomet isn't much of a talker, but he somehow knows a lot about those who play the game Lucifer made.
* The House of Gaming got a bit uncomfortable when they found an arcade cabinet that they don't remember talking about or seeing beforehand during a check. A little later, someone visiting the house found the cabinet and decided to play it. Some time after that, the being hasn't been seen within Pantheon grounds. And then much more later, others have been disappearing and these disappearances could be traced to the House of Gaming. Eventually, the missing deities were found and the arcade machine had to be examined when it was discovered that it was the source of these disappearances.
** Some of the Gaming members, alongside The SCP Foundation which had received word of the incident, visited the Technology house to see if a closer look at the arcade machine was possible. One of the things that was discovered was that the machine was known to glitch out sporadically and led to certain things to allow further progression. Although the Technology house offered to keep the machine for further examination since the Gaming House already had Polybius, another unusual arcade machine, to deal with, the Gaming house decided to keep the machine for further examination. That said, the Technology House and The SCP Foundation are still welcome to look for any more weird findings this machine possesses.
*** Under no circumstances is anyone allowed to place the Polybius and Pony Island cabinets in close proximity to each other. The House of Gaming isn't sure what, if anything, would happen, but they're not willing to take the risk.
* Within the Pantheon itself, it is a little more difficult to access the machine IRL given the circumstances. In cyberspace however, the process is a bit easier since it exists as a program within that plane. This program is still a bit of a dangerous place to go to regardless of how to get there.
* No one has any idea as to the exact time period the machine was made given that the graphics look very dated, there is an operating system that is just as outdated, and the monitor looks a bit old. Not only that, the machine is able to print out tickets and even has KnockoutGas built in as well. Most aren't really convinced that 1992 was when it was made despite the "copyright claim" on its title screen.
* Aside from the titular game, which is a runner-type game with shooting elements, this machine contains some other unused, unfinished, and unusual data. Among them include a 3D version of the game, a text adventure, and a file named "[=PonyIsland=].META". There is a lot of confusion as to how the latter file even works.
* A handful of computer hackers have taken an interest in this machine given its properties. Although Hopeless Soul doesn't mind the benevolent hackers that much, Lucifer has a bigger issue with them, regardless of if they're good or evil.
* Kirito & Asuna are both amicable towards Hopeless Soul as they all know what it's like to get trapped inside a game and make their way out of it while trying to avoid death (though in Hopeless Soul's case, the Pony Island players are more or less already dead).
* [[spoiler:As it turns out, Hopeless Soul is capable of being a little more powerful than he appears to be, but only to those who are interested in seeing everything the machine has to offer.]] Soul collectors such as Shang Tsung and Shadow Fiend immediately took an interest upon hearing about it from others.
* The Mane Six got really annoyed when they found out that a game with a name like "Pony Island" would serve a sinister purpose. Although they were told that one of Lucifer's possible intentions with the game was to make friends, they feel that using a demonic arcade cabinet is not a good way to accomplish that friendship-based motive. The Mane Six's friends are also disapproving of that machine given the design of it, though the Mane Six's enemies don't care a whole lot about it.
* Lucifer expects those who play their game to play fairly, even if the programming leaves a lot to be desired. He is unable to tolerate cheaters such as Bandit Keith and Wario since their antics go against how Lucifer intends his game to be played.
** This attitude earned the admiration of Dr. Hax, who has been encouraging Lucifer to be more aggressive in snuffing out cheaters who play Pony Island. Dr. Hax is still trying to look at how to throw CRT monitors at the arcade machine so it can only target Hopeless Soul and other cheating players. Entering cyberspace, accessing "Pony Island" from there, and then chucking CRT monitors at the offending cheaters is another option Dr. Hax is considering.
* On one hand, Dhuum has a bit of respect towards Lucifer for having very little tolerance towards cheaters. On the other hand, Dhuum believes that Lucifer should just take the souls sooner instead of trapping them in a poorly-functioning arcade machine, though Lucifer is still insistent that his game works.
* It may be plausible that the machine knows a bit about the inhabitants of the Underground given [[ShoutOut a few things there]]. That said, it's not the place (or game) to talk about a certain someone that may or may not be connected to the Human Child.
** Speaking of the Human Child, that person has been a subject of interest for those inside the machine. Lucifer would like to have him try out Pony Island, while all what Hopeless Soul wants is the Human Child to be safe.
** Flowey got a bit of time in his hands and watched someone related to the game named Louey. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Flowey was actually amused by it]], if only because of the presumed similarities present between them.
* No one is certain as to what will happen should Ermac, who is known to house around ten thousand souls, play the game. Regardless of what will happen, Ermac doesn't want anything to do with the machine, especially in regards to its soul-stealing creator Lucifer.
* The Lucifer and Beelzebub who are related to this machine have no connection whatsoever to a different [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Lucifer]] and [[Pantheon/{{Insects}} Beelzebub]]. Nevertheless, the leader of the GUAC finds it amusing that someone who shares the same name as him would attempt to make an arcade game with a "cutesy" appearance, only for it to end up having a lot of programming flaws present.
** When it comes to differentiating the Lucifers and Beelzebubs, this Beelzebub is addressed as Beelzebub.EXE. As for this Lucifer, referring to him as [=SystemTech=] is something that wouldn't be considered ridiculous.
* Baphomet knows a lot of things, be it the past, present, and maybe the future. In fact, it's possible he knows about the Pantheon entirely, but when others try to ask him about it, they aren't given a proper response since Baphomet only wants his visitors to ask questions about themselves.
** Dust seems to believe that Baphomet could provide some answers in his current journey. Although it's unclear as to how that's turning out, Dust has gotten along reasonably well with Hopeless Soul.
* There's only a few shared threats that face the inhabitants of this game. Agent Smith has been looking into the machine and has considered using it as a stepping stone in his goals. Both Lucifer and Hopeless Soul hate Nobuyuki Sugou for his cheating attitude and usage of a game to kidnap others, respectively. Hopeless Soul also doesn't want to get involved with Love Machine at all. Lucifer hates the AI for reasons that should be obvious by now.
* One of the lingering questions about this machine is if there's even more to it than there already is, and it's a question that has been particularly asked by those who have a knack of investigating the highly unusual. One of the more wild theories out there is that [[spoiler:Lucifer is "playing" all the roles of those already existing inside, including that of Hopeless Soul.]] Whether that theory, alongside various other ones, is true or not remains to be seen.

'''[[VideoGame/AnimalCrossing Mr. Resetti]], [[NoFairCheating Enforcer of Fair Play]]''' (Sonny Resetti)
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/resetti_7530.png]]
* Demigod
* Symbol: His pickaxe
* Alignment: LawfulNeutral
* Portfolio: MoleMiner, DemotedToExtra, SourOutsideSadInside, MotorMouth, LastNameBasis, JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* Domains: Moles, Temper, Underground
* Herald: Don Resetti
* Allies: [[Pantheon/{{Economics}} Tom Nook]], [[Pantheon/{{Workmanship}} K. K. Slider]], [[Pantheon/SocialAndRecreationalWork Isabelle]], [[Pantheon/TheatricProduction Sans]], Harth Stonebrew
* Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Plants}} Flowey]], [[Pantheon/GamingStyles Bandit Keith]], [[Pantheon/FighterArchetypes Aran Ryan]], [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Nefarian]]
* Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/{{Heroes}} Dr. Hax]], [[Pantheon/LifeAndDeath Dhuum]]
* Annoyed at: [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Excalibur (Soul Eater)]], [[Pantheon/WritingTechniques Deadpool]]
* Special Relations: [[Pantheon/{{Craft}} Villager]]
* In the world of Animal Crossing, things happen in real-time, much like an ordinary world would. That also means there are a few rules in place as to making sure fairness happens in that world. If for some unforeseen reason any human inhabitant decides to reset, they'll be greeted by Mr. Resetti, a short-tempered mole that delivers long-winded tangents to to those who reset their run.
** For all of that anger Resetti has, he's actually a pretty well-meaning guy who's just very stressed about the work he has to do. In fact, him looking for when resets happen and chewing out the offender is pretty much the only thing that he can do at all.
* The Reset Surveillance Center is the base of operations for him and his brother Don. This is actually Resetti's temple and it was built by the Villager partially thanks to the latter's funds. The Surveillance Center doesn't get much visitors likely due to the place being open to visit during late hours, but the visitors do sometimes get a chance to see what happens up-close if a "reset" is detected.
* Having had experience in dealing with those who "reset", Resetti was quick to learn that there were other forms of cheating and that there were a fair number of cheaters in the Pantheon. The mole knew that his job was going to be much more difficult than it was before, but ultimately followed through on delivering rants to cheaters such as Bandit Keith.
** This includes delivering rants on those who would attempt to use codes to cheat their way to things that were DummiedOut of existence. He did learn that [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Mitsuru Kirijo]] and [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Fuuka Yamagishi]] supposedly delivered these kinds of lectures before.
* During one of [[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros the Smash Tournaments]], Resetti managed to show up and deliver a few of his long-winded rants there. None of the competitors involved really paid any attention to him and at times would leave the mole behind, much to his frustration.
* Resetti's rants have been known to annoy those who listen to them, but the annoyance that results from them is not on the same level as that of Excalibur's. Resetti had the misfortune of meeting with him one time and the encounter went so badly that the mole refuses to talk about it.
* Even though both Resetti and Dr. Hax both share the same idea that cheating should not happen, they don't agree with the other's method of punishing cheaters. Dr. Hax thinks that just yelling at cheaters is too lenient and that the cheaters in question may end up causing problems again. Resetti thinks that using things like CRT monitors and hammers, alongside Hax going after any and all cheaters regardless of their intention without giving anyone another chance is too harsh. Resetti having met those who had to reset not out of selfishness, but because they didn't have any other option, could be the source of the conflict between Resetti and Hax.
** The mole subsequently heard of Dhuum, another being who opposed cheaters and paid him a visit, somehow. Resetti found out that Dhuum was even more out there compared to Hax, but since death and the afterlife are out of Resetti's control, there wasn't much the mole could do about Dhuum and punishing cheaters (the ones that don't cheat death, that is).
** Out of those who have a philosophy of disliking cheaters, the only one that Resetti was able to be on good terms with was Harth Stonebrew. Harth being an overall nice guy and understanding the troubles the mole has gone through may have helped mellow out Resetti's temper somewhat.
* Although Resetti doesn't hold any sort of serious grudge against those who are capable of digging, he did warn them that they shouldn't dig so close to his headquarters or just him in general since the digging of others could get in the way of his routine to dig to those who have reset.
* If there is one deity that Resetti hates the most, it would have to be Flowey. The latter SaveScumming for malicious purposes has left Resetti in a rage when he found out. Flowey has constantly taunted Resetti about how the mole is powerless to do anything other than complain at the offender and not do anything substantial about it.
** This later led Resetti to Sans, who has had experience in dealing with recurring experiences and putting up with them. The two are understandably affected by their own experiences. All told, they are often seen talking to each other about their respective jobs.
* Deadpool has proven to be a recurring source of irritation for Resetti due to the former's craziness. What is a particular sore spot for Resetti is how Deadpool sometimes interrupts the mole's reset-related lectures to talk about the fourth wall, a concept that Resetti doesn't seem to fully understand (partially in regards to resets). The Merc with the Mouth seems to be unfazed by Resetti's rants, as far as some witnesses could tell.
** To a potentially greater extent, Resetti has no tolerance whatsoever for Nefarian, another deity with some sort of acknowledgment of the fourth wall. The dragon has been more proactive in mocking the mole over lecturing others over something that can't be remedied, with Flowey sometimes joining in with Nefarian on riling Resetti. Doesn't help that Nefarian [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPMPv7_YbrY&t=0m24s partakes in a bit of cheating as well]].
* Upon learning that there was someone who was capable of utilizing a ResetButton, Resetti set out to find who it was. It took him a bit of time before stumbling upon [[Pantheon/TimeAndSpace Whis]], who had that ResetButton power. When Resetti asked for an explanation on it, Whis said that the ResetButton powers in hand were to be used only in dire situations (like the world getting destroyed). The encounter ended with Resetti telling Whis to be careful.
** Resetti's stay at the House of Time & Space took a bit longer than he anticipated given that he learned from those from that house that there were various time-travelers. Unsurprisingly, the mole got angry with the time-travelers who were using that ability to do selfish actions or worse. When it came to time-travelers who were using that ability for good, Resetti showed a bit of concern. He does understand why they have to do that, but he's more concerned about what could change in the present if the past is altered.
* Given how Resetti has been able to show up just after any kind of reset happened back in his own world, many are wondering what would happen if different universes implemented a similar plan, with someone chewing out the offending reseter if a restart occurs. Those talks haven't gone far, due to the mole being overworked and weary as is.

* A former follower of Ryoma Sengoku who managed to ascend in the pantheon after Sengoku was impressed with Sugou's crimes for hijacking the minds of Asuna Yuuki and the other 300 SAO survivors as his test subjects for his MindControl research while Sengoku encourages him to get his revenge on Kirito for ruining his plans [[spoiler: before Sengoku gives him the [[Series/KamenRiderGaim Genesis Driver and a complete version of the Dragonfruit Energy Lockseed]] as a gift for his ascension]].
* Both Tenjuro Banno and Ragyo Kiryuin were also became intrigued with his crimes while Sugou has the same reaction to them, since then he became supportive to both Banno and Ragyo as they made a plan to [[spoiler:brainwash every good deities in the pantheon [[ForTheEvulz for their evil purposes]]]].
* However, his ascension has brought bad news to him as he was given a restriction of him shouldn't go near Kirito & Asuna while he was stripped of his powers as Oberon due to him committing a crime for using an unreleased, yet overpowered, spell on Kirito while he viciously assaults Asuna back in ALO.
* He also got banned in the House of Technology because of his obsession over his MindControl research. Moreover, he is enemies with the VR Trooper Ryan Steele because the latter remarks Sugou of him being similar to Ryan's ArchEnemy Karl Ziktor a.k.a. Grimlord for being a CorruptCorporateExecutive and also [[AGodAmI the evil ruler of the virtual world]]. He is also being opposed by Krim Steinbelt since Sugou had sided with Banno and Krim considered him a threat to many good-aligned scientists.
* Both Kirito and Asuna were enraged by his presence after his ascension since they had a lot of issues with him as mentioned above. On top of that, many of Kirito's associates like Yui, Silica, Leafa, Sinon, and Yuuki, doesn't like his guts either as they were glad that he got banned in the House of Gaming for being the Abusive Game Master he is. This doesn't help either that Sark also lose his interest in him especially for his [[WhatAnIdiot idiotic acts]] that leads to his downfall.
** He has earned the outright ''hatred'' of Yuuki Konno The Zekken ("Absolute Sword"), Asuna's Dearest Friend and ''the'' Greatest Warrior of Alfheim Online; who in uncertain terms made clear to him that he will '''not''' "walk away as a man" if he dares to lay another finger, much less his filthy tongue, on Asuan ''ever'' again.
* Has made an alliance with the Trollkaiger, Monokuma, and [[spoiler:Junko Enoshima]], as he was amused of their actions of playing a cruel joke on both Kirito and Asuna for locking them away from each other for a couple of weeks. He was very satisfied of their suffering upon hearing this incident.
** Moreover, the Mastermind [[spoiler:Junko]] also made a proposal to Sugou to work alongside her for her plans to create the "Pantheonic School Life of Mutual Killing", with him being in charge of [[spoiler: brainwashing every potential participants]] in the said death game.
* His crimes had made him a public enemy in the eyes of heroic Kamen Riders in the pantheon, especially with Kouta Kazuraba since Sugou's actions are considered to be [[CompleteMonster despicable in the same vein as Redyue]], Kaito Kumon also hates his guts because his actions considers him a literal cheater and dishonorable human being. He was also being hated by Shinji Kido and Ren Akiyama due to the fact that his stint as a KillerGameMaster is much worse than what Shiro Kanzaki did.
* Has made enemies with the likes of Deadpool and Zechs Merquise not only because [[Creator/TakehitoKoyasu they sounded similar]], but both of them were disgusted with his bad reputation as the former hates his guts with a passion and the latter sees him as nothing but a disgrace to his standards.
* 765 Pro does not like him, as he reminds them of Takao Kuroi. This isn't helped by the fact that they [[Creator/TakehitoKoyasu sound similar]]. Producer-san and Hayate Immelmann have made it their mission to keep him away from getting to the 765 Pro idols.
* Though proclaiming himself as a warrior, [[Pantheon/CommonColors Khorne]] isn't impressed. At the end of the day [[DirtyCoward he's a coward]] and a cheater, and that makes the Blood God RAGE. Slaanesh, however, has taken an interest in him and Sugou serves under She Who Thirsts.
* Sugou grew his hate towards every deities that sounded like Kirito or Asuna since this is something to do with his downfall back then, because of this he starts to attack them filled with hate and depravity. However, he found a lot of oppositions in the form of Soma Yukihira, Lubbock, Eren Yeager, the Naegi Siblings, Iona Hikawa, and Shana, due to the fact they shared their dislike towards him.
* Many Elf and Fairy deities in the pantheon grew their disgusts towards him because his title as "Oberon" had made him a disgrace to them after they notice his countless crimes back then.
* Is frequently seen Playing Poker at the BadGuyBar of the Pantheons with Vampire Lord Dio Brando (with Darby Senior as the dealer, naturally); aside from also being a perverted blond sociopath wihthout an ounce of decency or morality, Sugou enjoys his company as [[Creator/TakehitoKoyasu he sounds exactly like him when speaking Japanese.]]
** Other fellow tyrants who shares poker and beer at Sugou's table include Frieza and Jareth The Goblin King in the BadGuyBar of the Pantheons, sharing stories with the former of how he was ''also'' sliced and diced into pieces by another [[Characters/KazutoKirigaya Pretty-Boy Teenage Swordsman]], and consoling the latter for also being an evil fairy king who tried and failed to win the heart of an underaged but strong-willed beauty.
** Has also gained the friendship of one Judge Claude Frollo, another tyrant with a penchant for tying up helpless young women force themselves sexually upon and abusing his authority to satisfy his lust for power and carnal pleasures.

* Enemies: Yugi Mutou, [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearanceOther Yusei Fudo]], [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} Seto Kaiba]], '''[[Pantheon/{{Unpopularity}} Katsuya Jonouchi]]''' (aka Joey Wheeler), [[Pantheon/RomanticOrientation Pegasus J. Crawford]] (aka Maximillion Pegasus)
* Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Luckiness}} Judai Yuki]], [[Pantheon/{{Heroes}} Captain America]]
* Pitied by: Yugi Mutou, [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Yuma]] [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Tsukumo]]
* Drinking Buddies with: [[Pantheon/{{Food}} The Most Interesting Man in the World]]
* Gained the title due to his actions during Duelist Kingdom. After Duel Monsters creator Pegasus humiliated him in a duel, he entered the tournament uninvited and cheated his way into the finals, cheated during his and Jounouchi's duel, and tried to threaten Pegasus into giving him the prize money after losing. Unfortunately for him, said duel turned out to be a [[AbsurdlyHighStakesGame Shadow Game]] controlled by Pegasus, who caught his foul play. Whatever happened to him after that (sources differ [[note]]He either got thrown from an island and later [[BrainwashedAndCrazy mind-controlled]], or [[spoiler:he got ''KilledOffForReal'']] [[/note]]), it wasn't nice.
** Also notable is that his initial loss against Pegasus led him into: [[TheAlcoholic drinking]], entering a card game tournament in a deserted island, luring Jonouchi (a teenager) into a trap to watch his strategy, stealing the entry card to the finals from that teenager, beating up [[RunningGag the teenager's]] shorter and weaker friend for almost catching him on the act, [[SerialEscalation pointing a gun at Pegasus after losing a duel with said teenager]], and in [[Manga/YuGiOhR one continuity]], [[spoiler:''actually getting resurrected'' to have a rematch. [[OverlyLongGag With the teenager]]]]. His utter inability to accept loss made him worthy of his [[SoreLoser second title]].
** ... It should be said, though, that in [[VideoGame/YuGiOhReshefOfDestruction several]] [[VideoGame/YuGiOhCapsuleMonsterColiseum video game]] [[VideoGame/YuGiOhNightmareTroubadour adaptations]], [[AdaptationalBadass Keith is actually a genuine threat]], having usurped control of the Ghouls from Marik, facing off against the Other [=Yugi/Yami=] Yugi ''without'' cheating, defeating Jounouchi in battle, gained the ability to initiate deadly Shadow Games, and stealing the Millennium Items to control the Winged Dragon of Ra. These accomplishments, while dangerous, are usually foiled by the mysterious being playing the games. (It doesn't help that Ra was stuck in its Sphere Mode.) Then again, there are doubts about [[AlternateContinuity the veracity of these events]].
* Is somewhat of an UnreliableNarrator, constantly saying the title as the champion was wrongfully taken from him (and beating up anyone who says otherwise). Contradicting stories circulate about his [[http://yumetabibito.tumblr.com/post/29886118649 encounters]] with mortal Jounouchi (Joey Wheeler) pre-ascension.
** [[Anime/YuGiOh One version]] (the one Keith supports and tries to keep circulating... with [[AdaptationDisplacement a lot of success, surprisingly]]) says that Jounouchi confronted him (because of the aforementioned "luring the teen into a cave" thing) and tried [[AdaptationalWimp rather]] [[EpicFail ineffectively]] to beat him up, [[AdaptationalBadass which Keith dodged with ease]]. Nothing major came of it.
** The ''[[Manga/YuGiOh other version]]'', supported by Yugi Mutou and the mortal himself, says that the blond found Keith beating the living daylights out of Yugi, who had tried to call him out after catching him outside of Jounouchi’s room (right after the older man had stolen Jou’s entry card to the finals, no less). [[CurbstompBattle Jounouchi promptly kicked his ass]].
** Regardless of which version is true, Keith often boasts that he's glad that the young man will probably never ascend to the Pantheon - as it should be. Other gods can't help but think [[AndThenWhat he feels]] [[DesperatelySeekingAPurposeInLife another way entirely]], however.
* Not powerful enough to be considered a threat, but enough of an asshole for most of the weaker and/or smarter deities to avoid him. That doesn't stop him from trying to pick fights with weaker deities to pass the time, though. Unfortunately, he once tried to provoke a seemingly weak newcomer by pressing his buttons (that is, insulting the boy's clan). Unfortunately, that "weakling" [[OhCrap was none other than]] [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Kurapika]]. [[MusclesAreMeaningless Given what]] [[CurbstompBattle happened next]], we can reasonably conclude at this point that Keith [[TooDumbToLive isn't all]] [[ButtMonkey that smart, either]].
* Used to look for Demigods and Quasideities to try to blackmail into kidnapping Yugi, just so he could have a duel and beat him (or beat him up, more likely), but got caught by Yusei Fudo. [[CurbstompBattle One roundhouse]] [[RuleOfThree kick later]], Keith went to other sections of the House of Gaming to restore some of his dignity as a former champion... only to end up cheating at every game he found [[CantGetAwayWithNuthin until he got caught]] by Seto Kaiba. [[BreakTheHaughty Now]], Keith spends most of his free time in [[DrowningMySorrows the bars in the House of Food]]. He has The Most Interesting Man in the World as company, at least.
** Even after [[HumiliationConga everything that's happened]] (which also made Keith gain opposition from Yugi fan Judai Yuki), [[NiceGuy Yugi himself]] can't help but feel sorry for him. Not that he has forgotten what a jerk Bandit Keith has been ([[AssholeVictim and still is]]); he certainly recognizes that his [[TheBully actions]] and cheating habits must be stopped. But rumors have started circulating of the King of Games planning to redeem the guy somehow. True or not, fellow duelist Yuma Tsukumo is totally down for the idea. [[IdiotHero Which doesn't make anyone else feel better about it]].
* Somehow, however, despite his {{Jerkass}} deeds and not being able to win a single duel on-screen, he avoided being sent to the Disgraces or the Fallen. The reason given was his [[EnsembleDarkhorse inexplicable popularity with the fan base]], especially [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff in his (in-universe) country of origin]].
** Oddly, a [[WebVideo/YuGiOhTheAbridgedSeries big deal seems to have been made from his nationality]], (particularly the way he [[WearingAFlagOnYourHead very visually represents it]]), and [[MemeticMutation has come to be known]] as some sort of [[PatrioticFervor American nationalist]] as a result. Even though that's not quite true, Keith has decided to embrace this reputation due to [[ThrowTheDogABone the popularity boost it brings him]].[[note]]... [[CatchPhrase In America!]][[/note]]... That won't go to his head, [[TemptingFate hopefully]].
** This makes him not very well liked by some gods, though. Captain America in particular is not much of a fan of his, not just because of Keith's overly-patriotic persona, but because of his [[TheBully true nature]]; therefore, he avoids him as much as possible. [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger The super-soldier doesn't like bullies, after all]].
* Unfortunately for everyone, Keith has been befriended by Dick Dastardly, Wario and Waluigi. The guy doesn't really know what to think of his new mustached pals, but they have encouraged him to keep doing his dastardly deeds and make pride of his title. Sadly, it doesn't look like he'll be reforming anytime soon.
* Should Keith ''win'' a duel, expect him to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D0vuezf2zA rub it in your face]].
* Has recently befriended fellow cheater Aran Ryan. They are known around the pantheon as the "Cheater Duo".
* Also has a spot in the House of Pantheon/{{Sports}}.
