| 29 | ** For Stoller: [[Pantheon/LawAndJustice Phoenix Wright]] |
| 30 | * Rivals: Team Rocket (a friendly one) |
| 31 | * Enemies: |
| 32 | ** Zoids deities (sans Sanders, Stoller, Pierce and Vega, who are in good terms):'''[[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude The Blitz Team]], [[Pantheon/ChildArchetypes Van and Fiona]]''', '''[[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Rosso, Viola, Rudolph]]''', '''[[Pantheon/{{Popularity}} Thomas]]''' |
| 33 | ** Others: Every single member from the GUAG division, as well as some members from the House of Justice, [[Pantheon/{{Advertising}} Ash Ketchum]], [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Red]], [[Pantheon/HeroicAchievementsAndLosses Calem, Serena]], [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Cloud Strife]], [[Pantheon/{{Monarchs}} Arthuria Pendragon (as well as her Prototype counterpart)]], [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Lan Hikari and MegaMan.EXE]], [[Pantheon/BodySizes Double-D]] (likely because the Dark Judge finds him annoying) |
| 34 | * Opposes: '''[[Pantheon/GoodAndEvilColors Hiltz]]''', [[Pantheon/{{Goals}} Cyrus]], [[Pantheon/ValuesAndEthics Ghetsis]], [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} Lysandre]] |
| 35 | * [[UnwittingPawn Unwitting Pawns]]: for '''[[Pantheon/AidesAndBenefactors Prozen]]''' |
| 36 | * The Backdraft Organization, also known as Backdraft Group is a shadowy criminal syndicate that rules unsanctioned battles. They are ruled by the mysterious "Committee of Seven", with an unnamed Count residing over it. They oppose the Zoid Battle Commission as a matter of principle, and use their own Judges, called Dark Judges, to hijack legal Zoid battles. |
| 37 | * They win over competitors by offering very large amounts of prize money, usually measured in multiples of regular prize money. However, in return, participants that lose must gave up all their Zoids. Teams that do not participate in battles are often attacked anyway, to show that the Backdraft always get their way. |
| 38 | * The Backdraft Group also have some connections with the most notable criminals from the House of Crime. It helps that some are very rich and like battles without rules. They also have allies in the form of the evil-aligned deities from the House of Commerce, likely for the same reason. |
| 39 | ** Sometimes they're hired by [[Pantheon/{{Commerce}} The Corpus]], as they also gained an interest by Zoids. It helps that they're also interested in the Pokémon even before they ascended. |
| 40 | * The [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Blitz Team]] are their major enemies, given that they're always ([[HeroicNeutral but not that much]]) ruining their domination plans. Bit Cloud is the worst, because of his powerful Liger Zero. Interesting, while their enmity is mutual, it's actually the Blitz Team themselves who are trying to avoid them, and not the other way around. |
| 41 | ** But especially Major Polta, which avoids Leena at any cost. [[PityTheKidnapper And considering his previous encounter with her...]] |
| 42 | ** The Backdraft Group also hates Brad due to his "supposed" betrayal, which costed their Shadow Fox. |
| 43 | * Considering that they're allies of the Blitz Team, the fact that the Backdraft Group are in war with the GUAG is not surprising: |
| 44 | ** They're not amused with [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Domon Kasshu]], especially after he discovered that they'll do everything to win, which includes cheating. |
| 45 | ** They also have a strong dislike of [[Pantheon/SuicideAndSacrifice Suzaku Kururugi]], as they [[Creator/{{TakahiroSakurai}} remind them]] of Bit Cloud, especially when he uses his Lancelot Albion. |
| 46 | ** Then there's [[Pantheon/{{Calmness}} Heero Yuy]] and his Wing Zero... |
| 47 | * Most members of the Backdraft Group, like Sanders, Stoller, Pierce and Vega are in good terms with the Blitz Team, as well as their allies. Albeit Pierce still doesn't like to be called "little lady" by Jamie (Well, the Wild Eagle half of him, anyway). |
| 48 | * [[Pantheon/LawAndJustice Phoenix Wright]] seems to have a familiarity with Stoller, as he reminds the lawyer of Simon Blackquill, one of his rival prosecutors. |
| 49 | * When he is not working, Vega also have a good friendship with [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Tyson Granger]], [[Pantheon/{{Romance}} Syaoran Li]], [[Pantheon/MinionsAndSidekicks Spike]], because of their [[Creator/{{MotokoKumai}} similarities]]. It helps that the latter is also a literal dragon, reminding Vega of his Berserk Fury. |
| 50 | * The Backdraft Group are sometimes compared to the Team Rocket, both evil organizations whose only goal is to use and exploit {{Mons}} to gain wealth and power. Which makes them great enemies with Ash Ketchum, [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Misty]], [[Pantheon/RomanticInterest Brock]], [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Red]], [[Pantheon/HeroicAchievementsAndLosses Calem, Serena]]. |
| 51 | ** Although they're still openly opposing other criminal organizations, like Team Galactic and Team Flare, given their plans of world destroying. Which is not good to their dirty business. |
| 52 | ** Sometimes the Backdraft Group hires [[Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers Pokémon Hunter J]] in their operations. It helps that she looks like a Backdraft member when she wears her shades. |
| 53 | * The Dark Judge is annoyed by Double-D, likely because of his [[Creator/{{SamuelVincent}} voice actor]], only more annoying. The relationship is one-sided from the judge's part, given that Double-D thinks that he is funny. |
| 54 | * Sometimes, when they're not trying to steal zoids, the Backdraft Group can kidnap some people for a quick buck. Too bad said plans are also foiled by another saviors outside of the Blitz Team. |
| 55 | ** They tried to kidnap [[Pantheon/{{Mentalism}} Lan Hikari]] and bribed him to hack a site. It was somehow easy, considering that Major Polta [[ActorAllusion sounds similar]] to Lan's father Yuichirou, pretending that Yuuichiro was kidnapped by the Backdraft Group. Their plan was foiled by Megaman.EXE as well as the other [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Megaman, The Maverick]] [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Hunters]], [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Geo Stelar]], [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Vent and Aile]]. |
| 56 | ** They also tried to kidnap [[Pantheon/{{Royalty}} Arthuria Pendragon]] in a way of getting paid by [[Pantheon/PrideAndEgotism Gilgamesh]]. At first the plan was successful, but them [[Pantheon/{{Weapons}} Shirou]], [[Pantheon/{{Costumes}} Rin]], [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} Ilya]], [[Pantheon/RevengeAndRetribution Sakura]] and their servants saved their ally and a big battle ensued. To put the cherry on the top, the Backdraft Group gets blasted off by an [[WaveMotionGun EXCALIBUR!!]] |
| 57 | ** Thanks to said kidnappings, they're targeted by the Phantom Thieves. It's unknown which day they're going to steal their hearts, albeit only Vega, Stoller, Sanders and Pierce are the only exceptions. |
| 58 | * The other Zoids deities are aware of the Backdraft Group's bad reputation and declared war against them. That said, they're in good terms only with Vega, Stoller, Sanders and Pierce. |
| 59 | ** Even though the group opposes Van and his friends, they still draw the line towards [[Pantheon/GoodAndEvilColors Hiltz]] and his [[OmnicidalManiac Omnicidal Mania]]. Likely because of the same deal with Cyrus and Lysandre. Which is not helped that Hiltz sounds like Bit, if he was DrunkWithPower. |
| 60 | ** Hiltz himself is not amused by the fact that the Backdraft Group used a Death Stinger’s tail [[spoiler:(which is implied to be his)]] to be a Charged Particle Cannon for their headquarters. Although he liked the fact that [[spoiler:they fired on the Zoid Battle Commision space station.]] |
| 61 | * While he's dissapointed by the fact that they're mostly incompetent, [[Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} Prozen]] seems to have an interest on the members of the Backdraft Group. It helps that their main objective is to subvert the "Noble" concept of Zoids Battles. Also, Vega coincidentally happens to looks like Raven, one of Prozen's former soldiers. |
| 62 | ** Speaking of that, there's a rumor that Vega is a descendant of Raven. This was never confirmed or disproven. |
| 63 | * Some members of the organization are implied to be rogue Zoid Battle Commission officials who were banished for doing something that reflected poorly on the ethics of the ZBC. Nothing was confirmed. |
| 64 | * ''This battle has been taken over by the Backdraft Group!'' |

| 82 | * Friendly Rivalry: [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Erma]] |
| 83 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Felines}} Garfield]], [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]] |
| 84 | * By far, the weirdest thing to come into the House of Sports. Calvin and Hobbes' made-up sport consists of two rules: 1. Players wear masks, 2. the rules are never the same two games in a row. The rules are made up as you play, you see. |
| 85 | * Many of the more imaginative minds in the Pantheon are able to keep a game of Calvinball going for hours upon hours when playing with/against each other. |
| 86 | * All practitioners of ConfusionFu enjoy {{Calvinball}} as their favorite sport. |
| 87 | * Whenever Calvin has reason to leave his temple, his return is always met with Hobbes pouncing him. |
| 88 | * Calvin has managed to create not one, not two, but ''three'' inventions out of a cardboard box. The ''same'' cardboard box. With the opening facing upward, it's a time machine. Sideways, it's a duplicator. Upside-down, it's a transmogrifier. [[Pantheon/SoldierArchetypesAToM Big Boss]] was impressed. |
| 89 | * Sometimes, Calvin will not answer to the name of Calvin, pretending to be "[[PaperThinDisguise Stupendous Man]]", "[[CaptainCrash Spaceman Spiff]]", or "[[DetectivePatsy Tracer Bullet]]". No one is sure what to make of these alternate identities. |
| 90 | * Gods in the Pantheon are confused as to Hobbes's true nature. Does he come to life for Calvin? Is he just a stuffed tiger doll? There are differing reports. Hobbes has remained silent on the matter. |
| 91 | * Since their series is somewhat of a GatewaySeries for many, Calvin and Hobbes are respected by most comic-related gods in the Pantheon. Though Calvin and Hobbes do not like [[Pantheon/OtherEmotions Garfield]] much at all, for some reason. They say it's lingering sentiments from Bill Watterson's feelings towards the strip. |
| 92 | * Calvin has '''not''' peed on random objects or prayed in the middle of nowhere. |
| 93 | * The two have reopened their G.R.O.S.S. club ('''G'''et '''R'''id '''O'''f '''S'''limy Girl'''s''') and have invited any male in the Pantheon to join them. As of yet, no one has taken up this offer. |
| 94 | * While Calvin doesn't seem to care much for the war between [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Cosmos]] and [[Pantheon/{{Villainy}} Melkor]], he does, as one who admires the idea of freedom and the ability of man to do whatever one wants, consider [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Lucifer]] to be an inspiration. On the other hand, he hates YHVH for daring to try and destroy [[TheEvilsOfFreeWill free will]] '''[[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking through]]''' '''[[SeriousBusiness schools]]'''. |
| 95 | * Has been noted for making several extremely detailed snow creatures. He has since gotten in a friendly competition against Erma [[https://tapas.io/episode/262946 for who can create the scariest snowman landscape.]] To the surprise of everyone, he is currently winning [[http://www.awfulgames.com/fun/comic_strips/calvin_snowmen/cs_01/ with the point in his court due to how he created a mutated, living, demonic snowman before.]] |

| 107 | * Enemies: '''''[[Pantheon/HarryPotter The Death Eaters]]''''', ''especially'' '''[[Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities Lord Voldemort]] and [[Pantheon/TraitorArchetypes Peter Pettigrew]]''' (for ordering and causing his death respectively), [[Pantheon/{{Contempt}} Dolores]] [[Pantheon/EvilActions Umbridge]] (for belittling his death as an "accident"), cheaters in general |
| 108 | * Annoyed with: The Pantheon/{{Vampires}} sub-house |
| 109 | * Opposed by: Literature/{{Twilight}} haters [[FanDumb who can't tell him apart]], [[Pantheon/IntrovertCharacterization the Dursleys]] |
| 110 | * Ascended to the Pantheon after making Harry promise to return his body to his father. When the Court of the Gods accounted for his sense of honor to the point he wishes to forfeit his wins if he feels like he doesn't deserve them. |
| 111 | * All the Hogwarts students and staff celebrated his ascension, and even Draco had to give some begrudging respect. Additionally, he has vowed to side alongside Potter and his friends to stop Lord Voldemort once and for all. |
| 112 | * Has joined a club of other {{Sacrificial Lion}}s like Mami, Ned Stark, Pyrrha, Kamina, Obi-Wan, Shinjiro, Bill, and Zeratul. |
| 113 | * The reason behind his annoyance with the Vampires sub-House is because of the existence of a [[Creator/RobertPattinson character]] [[Literature/{{Twilight}} who shall not be named]] whose family caused [[{{Understatement}} quite a lot of drama and headaches]] that they [[RetGone had to be removed from the Pantheon's memory]]. Sparkling vampires is '''not''' something he finds amusing. |
| 114 | * Was horrified to find out that [[Theatre/HarryPotterAndTheCursedChild in another timeline]], [[spoiler:due to time travelling shenanigans by Harry and Draco's sons Albus and Scorpius, in which they humiliated him in the Triwizard Tournament's second task, he became embittered, [[FaceHeelTurn joined the Death Eaters]], [[HeroKiller killed Neville]], [[TheBadGuyWins and won Voldemort the war]]]]. |
| 115 | * Being the kind of guy who will surrender his win if he feels he didn't win it fairly, he has a very dim view on unfair play of any category. |

| 128 | * Makie loves gymnastics and we mean, REALLY loves gymnastics so much so that she's put all her efforts into being amazing at gymnastics that [[BookDumb she can't score well on a test worth a shit.]] |
| 129 | ** Due to her passion for gymnastics, Makie gets along great with other deities who also have a love for a certain sport such as Itsuki Myoudouin, Nagisa Misumi, Nao Midorikawa, Akane Hino, Saki Hyuga, Hibiki Hojo and Kirin Morino. |
| 130 | * Whenever you need Makie to stay in one position for a long time, just tell her "You fail at being Makie!" Doing so will cause her to stay in the same position for a ''very'' long time, Makie once held a yoga position ''for an entire day'' and didn't move an inch. |
| 131 | * Makie gets along well with Nepgear, Millhiore Filiano Biscotti, and Hitomi due to sharing certain [[Creator/YuiHorie vocal similarities]] with all of them. |
| 132 | * One time, Makie went to the house of theatre to ask some of the deities there if they'd make a movie about Baka Pink but she was quickly rejected as its content wouldn't be suitable for ''any'' audiences, regardless of age. |
| 133 | ** This caused Makie to storm out of the house of theatre and attempt to make her own movie with no prior knowledge on how to do so, and just like the house of theatre suspected, it contained things that [[TheseAreThingsManWasNotMeantToKnow should not be seen by anyone else's eyes.]] |
| 134 | * Due to her kindness combined with her pink hair Makie gets along well with Alisa Bosconovitch and Yutaka Kobayakawa. |
| 135 | * Makie gets along surprisingly well with Shinobu Omiya due to the both of them share GlobalIgnorance of the locations of European countries. Makie and Shinobu were both very surprised to learn that England and France were both parts of the same continent. |
| 136 | * Many were surprised to find out that she would become a PE teacher in the future. This has made her get along with [[Pantheon/PersonalityMisc Nozomi Yumehara]] and [[Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie Gentaro Kisaragi]]--both deities who would also become teachers in the future (moreso on Gentaro considering how even he can't score well on a test worth shit). And despite her ditziness even ''she'' can see Gentaro's feelings for Elena. With a little practice, she's actually smarter than she appears to be and is now determined to make her dreams come true. |
| 137 | * Is absolutely immune to any and all [[LotusEaterMachine Lotus-Eater Machines]] due to the fact that she has no worries. Her ditziness also means that she can pretty much tank anything Trollkaiger throws at her too. |
| 138 | * May have potential for magic, as she once successfully performed a simple fire spell. Makie, however, doesn't want to pursue the arts of magic and wants to focus on her gymnastics. |
| 139 | * Makie was thrilled to learn that many of her classmates and teacher were already ascended, and even more thrilled to learn that her [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons four]] [[Pantheon/RacialAppearances fellow]] [[Pantheon/MagicCasters Baka]] [[Pantheon/ScientistsAndGeniuses Rangers]] had ascended as well, bringing the gang together. However, she is a bit concerned about [[spoiler: the rumors she's heard about [[Manga/UQHolder Yue's future self]]...]]. |

This not only got him involved against Crash Bandicoot and his friends, but also his adversaries. N. Oxide is determined to do whatever it takes to uphold his self-proclaimed title of "fastest racer in the galaxy" and that includes speeding off before the green light even flashes. |
| 171 | * He managed to find the Pantheon after hearing supposed stories about a place where different kinds of vehicles exist and a wide variety of racers at that. Hoping to find another planet to take under his control, N. Oxide traveled there and discovered a planet similar to the one he failed to take over. N. Oxide issued a challenge to the Pantheon, and after seeing Crash and his associates there, he made it a point to defeat them for good this time around and engaged in a rematch with the Bandicoot. Despite N. Oxide's skills, Crash was able to best him once again, much to the alien's fury. And then he found out that something happened behind the scenes that would result in him getting a spot in what is known as the Pantheon. N. Oxide only saw this as an opportunity to take some time, refine his skills and then claim the Pantheon as his own, though he's definitely not without a lot of competition. |
| 172 | * Some wonder what was he doing after his defeat on Earth. Supposedly he returned to his home planet and laid low for a while. Then, when he was about to return, he suffered an accident so gruesome it [[BreakingTheFourthWall would have raised the rating of his game]] if it were described and [[CareerEndingInjury marked a definite end to his racing career]]. However, [[UnexplainedRecovery he seems to have gotten better]] after he [[Videogame/CrashBash showed up to challenge both Aku Aku and Uka Uka's team]] to a game of Ballistix. |
| 173 | ** Oxide showed up once again after he was challenged by a fellow alien named Emperor Velo, another racer that self-proclaimed himself to be the greatest in the galaxy. Obviously, Oxide didn't have any of that and went on to challenge Velo by himself. The race between the two came down to the wire, and even looking at the photo-finish couldn't estabilish who was the winner. Despite that, the two seem to have gotten more friendly after the race. |
| 174 | * Due to his wandering around the galaxy to turn verdant planets into depressing parking lots, he naturally earned the ire of the House of Nature, so much so that he has been banned from there. Oxide, for his part, actually found competitors (or rather those willing to step up against him) there (although only one was a vehicle rider, but Nitros learned his lesson with Sonic), such as the earthbender Toph Beifong, Virgil Hawkins/Static on his glider, Ghost Rider with his hellish bike, and Rainbow Dash who is in the same league as Sonic in terms of speed. |
| 175 | * Alongside the aformentioned Emperor Velo and [[VideoGame/CrashTwinsanity the Evil Twins]], he is the only villain in his home universe to actually have gotten the Bandicoots and Cortex's evil crew to work together. After all, there's no way Cortex would accept conquering an uninhabitable planet, much less being a slave to an alien. The only exception would be Uka Uka, that while he is not keen on turning the whole planet into a Parking Lot, he can at least see potential in Oxide as a minion and has even allowed him to use him as a power-up during racing. |
| 176 | * Naturally was quick to challenge any racer that he could find in the pantheon, just to prove he is the fastest. Mario and his friends were the first he challenged and similarly to Crash, he was soundly beaten by them since he couldn't get used to the rules of Mario Kart. The same happened when Oxide challenged Sonic and his friends as well (the former even managed to beat Oxide in a race without using a vehicle, infuriating the alien to no end), so he figured he would challenge another type of racer. He set his sights on Captain Falcon and wanted to beat him to gain some clout by beating him but once again, the Blue Falcon completely trounced Oxide's hovercraft. It didn't help that Captain Falcon was a BountyHunter and several of the Pantheon law enforments wanted to capture Oxide for the numerous planets he conquered and they were offering a nice price. Luckily for the alien, Black Shadow, an ArchEnemy of Falcon, came to his aid and later proposed an alliance so together they could rule over the pantheon. |
| 177 | * After several losses, he managed to land a win against Dick Dastardly. He was about lose but [[DickDastardlyStopsToCheat Dastardly wanted to cheat to ensure his victory]] but he was outmaneuvered by Oxide and [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard his endless supplies of items]]. To the surprise of everyone, Dastardly was not even mad and is glad he lost to a fellow cheater. Dastardly is even considering do the same as Oxide and start before the green light flashes. |
| 178 | * Before coming to earth, he managed to conquer most of the Milky Way, most notably Mars. The latter got him on the bad side of several martian deities, both good and evil. Of those, [[Pantheon/{{Explosives}} Marvin the Martian]] took him the most personal and decided to challenge Oxide to both a race and a hovercraft battle. Oxide accepted and even is willing to involve his minions Zem and Zam if things get dicey. |
| 179 | * Besides speeding off early, it is rumored that he rigged the race tracks so he could win. This action alone got him on the bad side of Dr. Hax who has been chasing Oxide endlessly to punish him. Oxide, knowing better, always runs away whenever Hax is nearby. |
| 180 | * Formally applied to the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfEvil and was accepted after Melkor witnessed his achievements. While the GUAE doesn't really see an use for Planet-Sized parking lots, he thinks that having someone who competes in the field of racing could help expand the influence of GUAE. |

| 197 | * Enemy: '''[[Pantheon/CombatWrestling Edge]]''', [[Pantheon/{{Siblings}} Azula]] |
| 198 | * Commonality Connection With: [[Pantheon/FightingAndCombat Hanzo Hasashi/Scorpion]] |
| 199 | * Ascended after cashing his Money in the Bank against Azula, who tried to escape from The Fallen in order to find and defeat [[Pantheon/BetrayalMotivation Zuko]] stipulating that if she lost, she would go back to the Mortal Realm. Orton struck her with the [=RKO=] and successfully won his place in the Pantheon. |
| 200 | ** However, Azula has once again ascended and is looking for revenge. Orton tells her that whenever she's ready, he's up to the challenge. |
| 201 | * He's kind towards Barney the Dinosaur and swears to apply the RKO to anyone who wants to harm him. No one really knows why or how that happened, and no one is going to ask. |
| 202 | ** In response of that, Kane and Daniel Bryan once hugged him in one 6-man tag team match. Revealing that [[HiddenDepths he even has soft spots]]. The Trollkaiger pretty much laughed their assess off at the image. |
| 203 | * His [=RKO=] is one of the most powerful finishers in wrestling... if you don't know, just ask Evan Bourne the day his Shooting Star Press got [[CounterAttack countered]] [[DidntSeeThatComing from nowhere]]. |
| 204 | ** Bourne wasn't the first man to do the maneuver, that honor goes to both Paul London and Billy Kidman (and London, being a god in the Pantheon, really doesn't want to be caught in the same position as Bourne was). |
| 205 | ** This has caught many high-flying fighters off-guard as the RKO can pretty much be used anywhere and at anyplace. ''Even when Orton is on his back''. |
| 206 | * Has a strong rivalry with John Cena... in the same way as [[Pantheon/TaintedFriendship Kyo and Iori]]. The hate/respect the two have for each other is intense and makes HUGE killings in the House of Commerce whenever the two fight against each other. |
| 207 | ** Their rivalry has seen them through Table, Ladders and Chairs matches, an Iron Man Match in which Orton tried to '''''kill Cena by igniting him with stage pyro''''' (luckily John avoided it), and a Last Man Standing match that topped the previous one with splendor and awe. Many gods are awaiting the day they go into Hell in the Cell (especially the Gods in the House of Commerce). |
| 208 | * For those who are messing with him, take note: |
| 209 | -->''[[{{Catchphrase}} My name is Randy Orton]]'' |
| 210 | * Has made it his mission to RKO each and every 'legend' in the Pantheon, having list of [=RKO'd=] hall of fame wrestlers under his belt. However, [[EveryoneHasStandards he won't RKO]] Jim Ross due to a combination of respect and also because of the huge ass-kicking he'd get if he tried such a ballsy move. The same goes for Howard Finkel since Finkel also isn't a competitor like Ross and who else is gonna announce his victories if "The Fink" is down?" |
| 211 | * He's seen training with Reptile for a series of matches taking place in a world where the WWE Superstars become superpowered beings. |
| 212 | * If asked out on date, he likes to brag about his multiple skull tattoos. We're talking ''a lot'' of skulls, people. |
| 213 | * Has made an alliance with The Wyatt Family, going as far as to call himself "Randy Wyatt". |
| 214 | ** And when it was revealed that he essentially pulled a Daniel Bryan in order for him to get to the Wyatt Compound and ''burn the warehouse where Sister Abigail was buried'', things got even worse and many gods are afraid just what kind of retribution Bray is going to put on Randy for his actions. |
| 215 | *** He and Wyatt were supposed to go face each other in House of Horrors match. Let's just say that it was absoulutely ''underwhelming''. |
| 216 | * Various gods are wary whenever Randy has a screwdriver in hand -- after his attacks on Jeff Hardy, nobody wants to be anywhere near him when he starts [[EarAche twisting them into gauges]] |
| 217 | * Has known to have an utter dislike for Kofi Kingston, and is ''still'' not over Kofi's win over him at Survivor Series. He's not happy over Kofi becoming the World Champion and is now targeting him...and subsequently lost, not only at Survivor Series but when Kofi recreated his infamous leg-drop maneuver on him. |
| 218 | * At the 2020 Royal Rumble, Randy, like everyone else, met the shocking return of Edge, who was finally medically cleared to wrestle after getting extensive surgery on his neck. The two briefly teamed up to take on other oppnents; however, Orton's attempt to backstab Edge ended up failing and Edge would instead eliminate him from the match. Not taking this lying down, Orton attacked Edge with a steel chair the following night in an attempt to push him right back on the shelf, then destroyed Matt Hardy twice for trying to get an explanation. |
| 219 | ** When confronted with Edge's wife, Beth Phoenix, Randy finally gave an explanation that amounted to an epiphany that Edge thought he was coming back full time, to which he'd reacted by destroying Edge just enough to end his career -- so the next guy couldn't do it and potentially end his life. Naturally, everyone called BS on it, especially after Randy hit Beth with an RKO. In that moment, Edge had gone [[NiceJobFixingItVillain from accepting retirement again to wanting to take revenge]] on Orton's hide. |

| 243 | * Leon was known by many titles, but perhaps "The Unbeatable Champion" fit him best. Ever since he was a child, Leon was a prodigy at Pokémon battling, and with his best friend, Sonia, developed as a trainer until he became Galar's best. He never lost a battle in his career after but that caused him to be alienated from his friend as he became caught up in his fame and success to notice anything else. Until he failed to catch the rogue Eternatus and later on was finally defeated by Gloria or Victor (depending on the version) in the Championship match and was knocked down several pegs, regardless of his initial gloom at his defeat he got over it and decided to rebuild his life now that he was free of his Champion duties, eventually starting a new Battle Tower after taking over the Macro Cosmos organization following Chairman Rose's defeat so he could reinvent himself. |
| 244 | ** In the anime, Leon was more or less the same but he went on to become the Champion of the World, reigning truly supreme in the World of Pokémon... Until Ash Ketchum, the youngest Champion, came to challenge him in the World Coronation Series. Leon allowed Ash to use his full might with Mega Evolution, Z-Moves and Gigantamax and after an arduous battle was defeated when Ash's Pikachu defeated his Charizard in a final clash. Taking his loss with dignity, Leon went on a new journey to reinvent himself after the loss, hoping to find a new outlook after his defeat while swearing to defeat Ash in a future rematch. |
| 245 | * Leon entered the Pantheon accompanied by his partner Charizard with a triumphant entrance. Once in he found himself quickly accommodated to his new surroundings and looked for his allies from his world, albeit it took guidance from virtually all good deities in the Pantheon for him to find any, as he got lost several times to the point that some believe he almost somehow left the Pantheon. Regardless, he first met up with Ash and was glad to see him again. After meeting the other Champions and Gym Leaders he's personally met, Leon has gone back to training so as to prepare for his rematch with Ash. |
| 246 | ** Similarly, Red and Cynthia too have taken up to challenging him eager to test their might and defeat him. While Leon doesn't quite thinks of them as his rivals in the same way he does about Ash, he has eagerly accepted their challenges and is preparing for his own future matches with them, especially Cynthia since she's had a history of previously wanting to face Leon and prove herself. Paul despite his level being close to the other Champions if not equal or superior, preferred not to try his hand at challenging Leon, mostly because he's busy organizing his Gym Leader membership. |
| 247 | * Leon was well-known for having to take time to adapt to his loss once it happened, primarily due to not being emotionally prepared for the feeling of disappointment he felt he made his Pokemon feel and how he "failed" them. Regardless he's moved on from it to improve as a whole. He found sympathetic backing in this feeling from Miles Edgeworth and Manfred Von Karma, who are not Pokemon trainers but nonetheless had a long-standing winstreak in their careers and their one loss after their perfect track record initially shook them to their core before they managed to rise above this failure and improve even if he kept his distance from Manfred himself. They in turn gave him sympathy for such a loss, as being possibly the world's best trainer before a big fall on national television gave them some degree of second-hand embarrassment over the amount of expectations such an event had. |
| 248 | * Leon is bad with directions, so much that he's gotten lost in pretty much every House of the Pantheon and has even ended up accidentally stumbling upon the high security areas of the place merely by trying to find his way back to his temple after a day of seeking challengers in the Pantheon. This got him some commonality with Roronoa Zoro, another man known well for getting lost with ease in just about any place you can think of; Zoro isn't telling him much about his terrible sense for directions unlike most people and the two have even found themselves coincidentally getting lost in the same place at times. Celica A. Mercury is also well-known for having no sense of direction either, to the point she got the (dis)honor of becoming the Goddess of the trope, she has confided in Leon about her own insecurities in regard to her lack of direction skills. And finally there's Linkle, who is also prone to forgetting about things right in front of her. |
| 249 | * The Undertaker was also another once champion who had to face a decisive defeat in his career that greatly affected him to the point that he even retired from wrestling not long after, now simply spending his time doing smaller-scale projects or activities to keep himself afloat. While Leon finds himself intrigued by the Undertaker's different morality alignments he's had over years and some of his fighting too brutal, he nonetheless appreciates another deity who's had to reinvent himself over a major loss in their otherwise clean record of his career and didn't go down a dark path as a result of it nor allowed it to fill him with resentment enough to go down a dark path for it in spite of the career being his defining thing in life. |
| 250 | * Leon was once the biggest authority figure of Galar, and even after his loss he's still a wildly popular man in his home region and even became the Chairman of the Macro Cosmos organization; this caused him to form a connection with Seto Kaiba, who while having yet to defeat Yugi has nonetheless made a name for himself as [=KaibaCorp=]'s honest CEO having taken it over at a young age to oust his warmongering father who used their technology as means of funding wars and conflicts, instead using the technology to evolve the world of games and becoming the richest and most successful man in the world in the process. While Kaiba's attitude doesn't meshes all too well with Leon, the latter still enjoys hanging out with him due to his other likable traits. |
| 251 | * Leon grew up lonely due to his talent making it hard for him to make friends of any kind and then got so caught up in his fame and fortune he alienated the few friends he did have, he met others who had similar issues to him regarding this aspect such as Jack Atlas, a duelist who got carried by his fame and turned against his friends over it, becoming an elitist and darwinist until Yusei managed to bring him back down to Earth for good; Jack understood the way Leon felt about disappointing his friends once he was knocked off his throne as the World's Best, and even offered him advice on how to continue fixing the relationships he nearly lost to his own pursuit of perfection and glory. |
| 252 | * Little Mac became the Boxing World Champion at 17 but after three losses following rematching every opponent he beat first and then some, he quit early in his career to avoid losing his touch and glory over time, going out as a boxing legend remembered forever. Leon was perplexed by this, as unlike him Mac showed an eagerness to quit early in his career at his peak avoiding losing his touch like what happened to the preceding Galar Champion, Mustard, who went on a losing streak after his partner Pokémon passed away. In a sense he grew to admire the bold decision Mac took, since it was proof of how much passion he truly had for the sport despite his short-lived championship. Mac himself didn't say much but did like that Leon was a relatively good sport about his loss and kept going on his training career in some other way of his own volition. |
| 253 | * He still isn't on good terms with Chairman Rose, for causing the catastrophe in Galar purely out of an impatient desire to do right by the energy crisis in Galar; he doesn't have much respect for those who essentially risk the world at large even for a selfless goal when there are better alternatives or outright use a supposed noble goal as a cover; one of these perpetrators was Chairman Drek who acted like a noble yet flawed figure but turned out to be a nefarious monstrous businessman interested so much in profits that he polluted his own world and acted like a desperate extremist when he began destroying other worlds' civilizations to give his species a new home when it had all been his fault to begin with. Leon considers Drek even more deplorable than Rose and sees him as someone that Rose would've become like if he had gotten his way. |
| 254 | ** Zarkon and Lotor, while not businessmen, also got similar flak from Leon, in their case it's not only their selfish goals with poorly planned good intentions but also their use of the dangerous quintessence against the good judgment that would lead most to reject using such unstable means for any kind of goal in addition to the sheer amount of lives both took and ruined to try and get their way. Worse is that both (and Honerva) nearly destroyed their entire Multiverse in the process, making them even more dangerous than Rose if they had gotten their way. For this they have an enmity with one another shared by Zarkon and Lotor reciprocating the hatred thrown their way. |
| 255 | * While he opposed Rose's methods, he too is against pollution and the continued use of unsafe energies or misuse of good ones like Rose's own deal, as such he opposes Mr. Burns; who while the boss of a safe and clean energy source (nuclear power) is an abusive jerk willing to even pollute and ruin his own country for the sake of money if he can help it and even has opposed Lisa Simpson's own goodwill attempts to be environmentally conscious, his associate and on-and-off girlfriend, Mom/Carol, was similarly caught up in the flack for her own crimes and jerkassery to others. Last but not least in these evil businessmen was Biff Tannen, who in one timeline founded [=BiffCo.=], a {{Megacorp}} based around himself and turned the United States of America into a big hellhole of lawlessness and crime with a side of pollution and destruction of the environment; all which made Leon detest Tannen for his deeds and Tannen in turn detest him for being a "nerd" about Pokemon. |

| 269 | * Upon ascension he was greated happily by his fellow classmates. He was however bemoaned by the majority of the gambling community as it shuffled the win-lose odds with his repeated training of underdogs taking them to extravagant heights such as national playoffs. Savvier gamblers noted this meant odds were mostly just reversed. |
| 270 | * As soon as he could he re-started training himself and his allies from his universe. Of note Aoi has improved even further while Sakura politely declined, seeking a partner instead. Nekomaru decided to throw everything he had at her despite knowing he couldn't win a straight brawl, if just to challenge her a little. |
| 271 | * Not the fondest of Nagito Komaeda especially after hearing just how crazy he could get. He routinely rounds up fellow minded gods and kidnaps him so he won't potentially sabotage the GUAG. |
| 272 | * Has decided to taken on training Glass Joe. While his physical performance has only improved slightly, Nekomaru outfitted him with headgear and has taught him fake out jabs and how to protect against his OneHitKO weakness. Even Little Mac got a little afraid but continues to train with only Doc Louis depsite Nekomaru's offers. Still they respect each and are impressed by each other. |

| 293 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/{{Luckiness}} Judai]] [[Pantheon/SupportMagic Yuki]], [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Captain America]] |
| 294 | * Pitied by: [[Pantheon/GamingStyles Yugi Mutou]], [[Pantheon/HeroicOutlooks Yuma Tsukumo]] |
| 295 | * 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. |
| 296 | ** 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]]. |
| 297 | ** ... 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]]. |
| 298 | * 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 [[http://yumetabibito.tumblr.com/post/29886118649 his encounters]] with mortal Jounouchi (Joey Wheeler) pre-ascension. |
| 299 | ** [[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. |
| 300 | ** 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]]. |
| 301 | ** 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. |
| 302 | * 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]]. |
| 303 | * 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. |
| 304 | ** 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]]. |
| 305 | ** 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]]. |
| 306 | ** 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]]. |
| 307 | * 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. |
| 308 | * Should Keith ''win'' a duel, expect him to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7D0vuezf2zA rub it in your face]]. |
| 309 | * Has befriended fellow cheater Aran Ryan. They are known around the pantheon as the "Cheater Duo". |
| 310 | * Also has a spot in the House of [[Pantheon/CheatsAndGlitches Gaming]]. |
