| 26 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Master Roshi]] |
| 27 | * When there is creation, there is also destruction. In the twelve universes of the Dragon Ball Multiverse, [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil each requires a God of Destruction for the Gods of Creation]]. The seventh, where Goku and his friends come from, is home to Beerus. Attended and mentored by Whis, he is by far the strongest being in his universe (except Whis of course) and [[TheDreaded feared by all]]. As Destruction of the Endless left his position long ago, Beerus was picked [[DestroyerDeity to represent destruction]] in the Trope Pantheon... until it was discovered that Beerus was a very lousy destroyer, often leaving his job to the likes of Frieza and Majin Buu for him and preferring to nap instead. This created far more harm than good, as shown by the "highlight" of when Buu wiped out all the Universe 7 Supreme Kais except for Shin, their most inexperienced member; the consequences of which resulted in Universe 7 becoming the universe with the second lowest mortal level. That caused him to get his DestroyerDeity title removed and relocated somewhere else, which got him mad but he couldn't do anything about it. |
| 28 | ** He has a twin brother called Champa, who is God of Destruction in Universe 6 (also a twin of Universe 7). The two don't get along, but [[HiddenHeartOfGold Beerus does seem to care for him deep down]] [[spoiler:as he used the Super Dragon Balls to revive his universe's Earth so he may enjoy the delicious food there and was quietly saddened when his brother was erased by Zeno]]. |
| 29 | ** Despite being coworkers, every God of Destruction of the Dragon Ball Multiverse despises Beerus. The reason? Many years ago, Zeno hosted a hide-and-seek tournament, and Beerus hid so well he fell asleep for fifty years. The Omni-King was so angry the other Gods of Destruction were almost erased before they calmed him down. |
| 30 | * Beerus [[BlueAndOrangeMorality is very confused as to why he has been considered evil]] by others in the House when it is his job, and on top of that an [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil important one]], to destroy planets, as it maintains balance and equilibrium in the universe because new planets will just be created, by the Gods/Goddesses of Creation, as replacement for the planets that are destroyed. Once you get to know him, Beerus is a polite, friendly and likable ManChild who can become friends with you, and acts like the lazy, affectionate, fun-loving overgrown cat that readily joins in the food, song, laughter and dance (yes, he lets loose some truly funky breakdance moves) instead of the God that he should be. That said, other gods note his point would still stand if he could be [[EvilIsPetty a lot less petty and trigger-happy with said powers]]. |
| 31 | ** Has a cordial relationship with the other [[DestroyerDeity divine destroyers]] in the Pantheon, unless [[OmnicidalManiac they're pointlessly destructive]] like [[Pantheon/{{Continuities}} Malal]]. Destruction, in particular, is someone he always treats with respect, and though [[Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality Yveltal]] isn't ''exactly'' a DestroyerDeity Beerus gets where it's coming from. Has a FriendlyRivalry with Asura. |
| 32 | * The '''real''' reason the Saiyan race was exterminated? King Vegeta stole the most comfortable pillow in the universe for himself in a raid ordered by Beerus then tried to hoard it for himself instead of giving it to Beerus, then he failed to give Beerus a sumptuous enough banquet even while letting Beerus '''use his head as a stepping stone while he was eating''' as punishment, so he encouraged/"ordered" Frieza to destroy Planet Vegeta because he knew Frieza wanted to anyway and he couldn't be bothered to do it himself. [[NightmareFuel Damn]]. Oh, and ever wonder why King Kai lives on such a small planet? Beerus and King Kai played a car racing video game together and Beerus lost, [[SoreLoser and being the sort of person he is]], [[DisproportionateRetribution he destroyed the planet in a fit of rage at losing]]. King Kai then took a large leftover fragment, whittled it down to a sphere, and built a road on it so that he could have fun driving there. This became King Kai's current planet. Beerus has since been advised by many to '''NEVER''' play ''VideoGame/CallOfDuty''. |
| 33 | * Much to the shock of the rest of the Pantheon, he gets along ''famously'' with the kind-hearted [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Madoka Kaname]] herself. Madoka's Herculean feat of not only destroying an entire ''universe'' wracked by grief and despair, but ''rebuilding'' a kinder and gentler place over it quite certifiably earned Beerus' respect; not to mention the fact that he ''really'' enjoys the affectionate chin-scratches that [[KindheartedCatLover Madoka readily gives him]] and the ''delicious'' Afternoon-Tea Parties her mentor Tomoe Mami holds every Thursday Afternoon. At one particular Tea Party, he has struck off a FriendlyRivalry with Kyouko Sakura, who swears she will ''not'' stop practicing until she can beat his funky breakdance-moves in ''Dance Dance Revolution''. |
| 34 | * Be careful around this friendly, polite and fun-loving Deity. Like all cats, Beerus is prone to mercurial temperaments and violent mood-swings that can be set off by the pettiest of reasons; do remember he is the same God who used King Vegeta's head as a footstool in front of his own son Prince Vegeta while making him treat him to an Eight-Course Banquet, and that was when he was in a good mood. Every other God in ''Dragon Ball''[='=]s Seventh universe fears him. Even ''Shenron'' fears Beerus. He is so immature he needs [[ServileSnarker Whis]] to remind him about waking up in the morning, good manners and brushing his teeth before going to sleep. While he is awake, tense days for the Supreme Kai's continue, as not even ''they'' know how many planets will be sacrificed. |
| 35 | * Beerus is no longer invited to dinner parties with other Gods in the house due to creating a ruckus at the last party he was invited to due to no pudding being available. |
| 36 | ** '''[[LargeHam PPUUUUUUUUDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNGGGG!!!]]''' |
| 37 | * Beerus absolutely ''detests'' the little bitch known as [[Anime/PuellaMagiMadokaMagica Kyubey]]. Not only does it insist on preserving a universe of sadness by destroying hope and creating despair; but more importantly, ''it made his beloved friend Madoka cry''. To his frustration, no matter ''how'' many of the little fuckers he vaporizes, there will ALWAYS be more of them. His anger towards Kyubey pales in comparison to his fury towards [[spoiler:YHVH and his plot to kill Madoka]]. This plot triggered his involvement in [[spoiler:The Pantheonic Rebellion]]. His fury towards Vanitas on learning of his plot to [[spoiler:join with Madoka to forge the χ-blade, possibly causing a universal apocalypse]], was so great, that Whis had to calm him down. [[spoiler:Even though Madoka isn't Vanitas's true target…]] |
| 38 | * His reputation has become more feared (among those who are aligned with Good) and admired (among those are aligned with Evil and Chaos) when it was revealed that Beerus sealed one of the Supreme Kais (who are essentially the Creation Gods of the ''Dragon Ball'' multiverse) in a sword after the Supreme Kais and the Gods of Destruction got into an argument over some trifling thing. Beerus viewed sealing one of the Supreme Kais in a sword as an "appropriate" form of retribution as supposed to destroying the Sacred World of the Kais, which he originally thought of doing. This revelation has also frightened ''many'' within in the House of Magic as this feat makes it seem as though he could also be an extremely powerful wizard or magician of some sort if he was able to perform a sealing spell on a ''God'' so effortlessly and efficiently. |
| 39 | * Despite [[TheDreaded terrifying them]] and having the opposite job, Beerus doesn't have anything against gods of creation since [[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil they need to work together]]. [[spoiler:Literally, the Gods of Destruction and Supreme Kais of each universe are linked; if one dies, so do(es) the other/s. He's in no rush to reveal this.]] [[TranquilFury He doesn't take kindly those who wish to destroy or pervert this]], and he will step in and [[CruelAndUnusualDeath painfully]] ''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill atomize]]'' the offender. [[spoiler:Isn't that right, Zamasu?]] |
| 40 | * Beerus is absolutely '''hated''' by many in the House of Beasts after they found out he [[spoiler:''[[PhlebotinumKilledTheDinosaurs wiped out the fucking dinosaurs]]'' [[DisproportionateRetribution because]] '''''[[DisproportionateRetribution one of them]]''''' [[DisproportionateRetribution acted rudely to him]] during one of his trips to Earth millions of years ago]]. Because he is capricious, he destroys even important planets without a second thought. |
| 41 | * Wonder why he and Deadpool don't hang out? ''Everyone'' has had to keep him away from the god. [[FridgeHorror Just]] ''[[FridgeHorror imagine]]'' [[FridgeHorror what would happen if the merc got on his nerves? It certainly wouldn't be hard to do.]] |
| 42 | * He doesn't know what to think of the UsefulNotes/FurryFandom. He either likes it or hates it, given the circumstances. If you want to please him, show him "Dreamkeepers". [[SchmuckBait If you want to anger him, just show him Rule 34 artwork of him.]] ''Bad'' artwork, mind you. |
| 43 | * There is only one known person Beerus (and Champa) fear, and that is their boss, the Omni-King Zeno. The entire Pantheon was in shock when they saw him fearfully and humbly bowing to him. Considering that he is the ruler of their ''multiverse'' and is capable of destroying all 12 universes without effort, it was understood why. Especially when it was discovered there were once 18 universes... before the Omni-King destroyed six of them. |
| 44 | * Beerus shocked everyone once again when he showed his actual power (to some extent); not only did he erase [[spoiler:the ghost of the known gag scientist Dr. Mashirito (who escaped Hell just because he wanted to — yes, the same Hell that kept the likes of Golden Frieza)]] with the same ease in which he destroyed [[spoiler:Zamasu]], but he was also in position to kill Arale herself; those events made every comedy and gag-related god and a few of the spirit and ghost deities in the pantheon quite wary of Beerus, to say the least. |
| 45 | -->'''Whis''': [[spoiler:It doesn't matter if they're a ghost or not. There is nothing Lord Beerus cannot destroy.]] |
| 46 | * Alphonse and Sakaki both became fans of his because he's a powerful cat god and they both love cats. He's cool with both of them, especially Al. However, he's not keen on Al thinking he needs his protection, so he made sure to show off his destructive power in front of the alchemist once. (Whis reversed the damage, of course). |
| 47 | * Doesn't like how Whis keeps searching for a potential successor to his job, and is particularly side-eyeing Sailor Saturn. Still, that doesn't stop him from training Vegeta in the use of the Power of Destruction, since he knows both Vegeta and Goku have rejected the job offer. So long as they never flippantly [[DubText speak of a destroyer's ass]] again, anyway. |
| 48 | * Beerus is well aware there are people who think he, and the Supreme Kai, Shin, [[ShipperOnDeck would make a cute couple]]. He finds the idea absurd, shouting "I only hugged him once!" and threatening anyone who dared remind him of the incident, and Shin would rather not expend too much time with him due to his anger issues. Naturally, Whis loves to tease him about it. |
| 49 | * When he heard he was going to be featured in a WebAnimation/DeathBattle, he was eager to know who he was fighting, and was intrigued to hear it was [[Pantheon/CommonColors Sailor Galaxia]]. However, he then became irritated since she wasn't as willing to play ball, [[HeelFaceTurn having turned a new leaf and all]]. To compensate, with cooperation from Whis, Boomstick and Wiz managed to arrange the fight anyway via a disposable AlternateUniverse that had a pre-redemption Sailor Galaxia. Since it would take a while for her to notice and head to its Earth to destroy it, Beerus was encouraged to nap and have some ice cream while he waited. Next thing he knew, the planet was destroyed [[LostFoodGrievance along with his ice cream]], and he located his opponent [[https://youtu.be/mLOe7vGI0YI before engaging in battle]]. In the end, he returned to the Pantheon [[spoiler:quite pleased with himself since he... managed to]] avenge his ice cream. He then asked Whis for another one. |

| 65 | * FriendlyEnemy: The House of Demon (yes, really) |
| 66 | * Enemies: While he is too nice to really hate anyone, he really doesn't like his EvilCounterpart [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]] |
| 67 | * Opposed by: Every French deity |
| 68 | * Opposed: Every single deities that plan to destroy the world especially [[Pantheon/RuinAndDestruction The]] [[Pantheon/{{Toxicity}} Lich]], anyone who performed a FaceHeelTurn, the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the Greek Pantheon |
| 69 | * GoodCounterpart to: [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith YHVH]] |
| 70 | * Complicated Relationship with: [[Pantheon/{{Ambiguity}} Lucifer]], [[Pantheon/{{Demons}} Satan]], [[Pantheon/TypesOfSadness Sam and Dean Winchester]], [[Pantheon/CharacterChanges Ned Flanders]] |
| 71 | * Because he is ''the'' God in his universe, the House of Faith once sent an agent to ask him [[GodlySidestep why is there evil in his world when he was supposed to be all-knowing]] heavily equipped with listening device. Their hearing process was [[TheUnreveal interrupted by a train running]] and said agent was disappeared thanks to the effect of the [[StatusQuoIsGod Status Quo]]. |
| 72 | ** However, investigation with his previous prophet and representation of humanity Bob has them suspected that his word to Bob ([[BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil without evil being good is meaningless]]) might or might not answer the question. |
| 73 | * As soon as heard that God is now in the Pantheon, [[Pantheon/{{Angels}} Archangel Michael]] immediately pledge his eternal service under him. Now the two of them are working hard to ensure that there will always be goodness in the world so it doesn't have to be destroyed. The two of them also working hard to lead those who had done a HeelFaceTurn - which he considered to symbolically choosing Satan over him, to lead them back to the path of righteousness. |
| 74 | ** Another one that is gladly to plead fighting in his namesake is [[Pantheon/HolyAuthorityAndPower Alexander Anderson]], who would gladly decimate the entire House of Devil if he ever asked. Of course, being [[AllLovingHero who he is]], God never took up the offer. |
| 75 | * Was very surprised when seeing Catwoman in the Pantheon as he once dated one of her mortal avatar Julie Newmar. They agreed to avoid each other as Selina is with Bruce now. |
| 76 | * Was annoyed that every deities that want to destroy the world constantly want him to join in. He usually calmly responds with "I'm not that kind of God." and leave. |
| 77 | ** However, he was not very liked by any deities came from French as they don't like how he once wants to [[TheUnfavorite eliminate their country]] out of the hypothetical new universe he created. |
| 78 | * He can sometime be seen in the House of Insanity in order to offer words of comfort to everyone reside and hopes they can try and get better. |
| 79 | * He was especially well-liked in the House of Friendship because of how friendly he is. He welcome their affection as they are the kind of people he can be relaxed about as the House of Angels always reduced to a teary mess whenever he enter it (except for Archangel Michael due to how frequent the two interact) causing him to sometimes feels [[LonelyAtTheTop lonely]]. He compensates their kindness by sometimes make a [[EverythingsBetterWithRainbows double rainbow]] so that [[AllLovingHero anyone who doesn't follow his religion doesn't feel left out]]. |
| 80 | * Surprising everyone, he is very uncomfortable around any teenage deities and more comfortable around children who can see him. This is because of the fact that in his world [[ChildrenAreInnocent God and The Devil struck that get human until they're 12]], [[TeensAreMonsters then the Devil gets human until they're 20]]. |
| 81 | * Is currently has a rocky relationship with every single versions of Lucifer in the Pantheon. While they understand that he isn't the deity that oppress them, they still find it hard to get along with him due to their own alternative versions of God are much more evil and unreasonable. He still doesn't give up and reply that if he can mend his relationship with his version of Lucifer then he would try his best to atleast on speaking term with the other versions. |
| 82 | ** However, he once sit down with one version of Lucifer and share their dislike for his EvilCounterpart YHVH. |
| 83 | ** Similarly, Sam and Dean Winchester is uneasy around him due to their own bad experience with their own God. |
| 84 | * He and [[Pantheon/{{Upbringing}} Moses]] once had a long conversation with each other because now they are able to see each other again and Moses is reduced to a gibbering mess for now he can see God for the first time in the physical realm. |
| 85 | ** [[Pantheon/{{Monarchs}} Ramses II]] is scared out of his mind when seeing God in close proximity given all the things he did to God's "chosen people" the Jews during his time as a mortal. God, [[AllLovingHero being who he is]], doesn't hold it against the Pharaoh but chastises to never do that again. |
| 86 | * Heard that one of his version portrayed by Creator/MorganFreeman [[Film/BruceAlmighty once gave a mortal his power for 24 hours]]. While he appreciates that version's intention, God disappoints everyone by announcing that he won't practice something like that after learning the mess that it can cause. |
| 87 | * He once met with [[Pantheon/{{Philosophy}} Aslan]] and the two got along very well considering the lion is an {{Expy}} of him. |
| 88 | * Because of his title, he has interact with various Pantheon from many cultures and came to his own opinion for them. |
| 89 | ** While he is a great allies for the Norse and Egyptian Pantheon because while they're definitely flawed, all of them all tried to better themselves and protect the world they're living in but he absolutely despises the Greek Pantheon for how frequent the deities screw over the world they didn't even created. Although he does acknowledge that not all Greek deities are Jerkass and made friends with the nicer ones like Athena, some good versions of Hades etc. |
| 90 | ** Doesn't like the Spaghetti Monster for its nonsensical understanding of gravity and is the protectors of pirates. |
| 91 | * Denied answer when asked if he is truly the person that talks to [[Pantheon/AuthorityFigures Jeanne d'Arc]] by saying that he doesn't usually concerns himself with fighting and is more of a rehabilitating guy. |
| 92 | * Because of his absolute friendliness to everyone, the House of Demons can't find it in their heart to really hates him except for those that hate everyone. |
| 93 | ** However, do NOT mistakes friendliness for being a pushover. Any devils that create messes that took a long time for him to clean up will be severely punished by exposing them to all of his holy power of goodness. |
| 94 | * Through gossips from the House of Demons, three deities who are all devout Catholic are all in awe when seeing God in person and turned out he was much friendlier than they imagined: [[Pantheon/{{Healers}} Asia]] [[Pantheon/SupportMagic Argento]], [[Pantheon/LustfulBehavior Xenovia Quarta]] and [[Pantheon/NamingConvention Irina Shidou]]. For his part, God is touched by their devotion, especially considering the fact that the first two are demons and praying to holy powers caused them physical pain. He decided to dedicate his next double rainbow to their name. |
| 95 | * Doesn't particularly like Ned Flanders because he was too preachy and lacks respect for non-Christians, which God is trying to be inclusive. However, the two of them agree that YHVH is not a good example of the all-powerful. |
| 96 | * [[Film/MontyPythonAndTheHolyGrail One thing he can't stand is people groveling... AND APOLOGIZING!! Everytime he talks to someone it's 'Sorry' this, 'Forgive me' that, and 'I'm not worthy'... WHAT ARE YOU DOING NOW!? What, averting your eyes? Well, don't! It's like those miserable Psalms, they're soooo depressing... Now knock it off!!]] |

| 127 | * Jubileus and Queen Sheba both emerged from the cataclysmic events of the First Armageddon, which created the Trinity of Realities. Jubileus was subsequently forced into dominion over Paradiso, while Queen Sheba became the ruler of Inferno. However, Jubileus was also put into an endless slumber. Knowing that releasing her from her slumber would trigger a reunification of the Trinity of Realities and allow Paradiso to rule over the universe, the Angels of Paradiso and the Demons of Inferno began an endless war for domination over one another. |
| 128 | * Ultimately, Jubileus was awakened through the actions of Father Balder and the Angels. However, Bayonetta was freed from Jubileus by Jeanne during the ritual, preventing her from reaching full power. Bayonetta and Jeanne then managed to summon Queen Sheba, who subsequently used her power to punch Jubileus' spirit from her body through the solar system and straight into the sun. Afterwards, Jubileus' physical vessel fell to Earth and was destroyed by Bayonetta and Jeanne, leaving no trace of it behind. |
| 129 | * Applies to both: |
| 130 | ** Jubileus and Queen Sheba ascended into the pantheon through the machinations of Father Balder and [[Pantheon/{{Demons}} Satan]], the former hoping that Jubileus' ascension would eventually lead to a new Armageddon and the latter seeing her as a useful ally for the GUAL. However, as explained by [[Pantheon/SourcesOfInformation The Truth]], the angels and demons of their world reflect light and darkness as natural elements rather than good and evil, and either one overpowering the other would bring about an imbalance and oppress the humans. As a result, Queen Sheba ascended alongside Jubileus and, much to their shared annoyance, the two were forced to share a temple. |
| 131 | ** Both of them share a mutual enmity with Rodin, the famed weaponsmith and FallenAngel who had previously ruled a portion of Paradiso until he was exiled, became feared as the most dangerous demon in the entire barren wasteland of Inferno, and still frequently visits Inferno in order to collect the souls of its denizens to use them in making his weapons. Jubileus is appalled that one of her angels had turned against his own kind and, due to his massive power, wants to eliminate him in order to prevent him from potentially trying to usurp her. However, Sheba, although she doesn't like him either, prefers to ignore and avoid him, as she knows that he has no desire to usurp her. She also doesn't [[BadBoss particularly care]] about the demons that he kills during his visits to Inferno, as it's very common and expected among the demons to kill and [[ImAHumanitarian even eat]] one another on a regular basis. |
| 132 | ** Unsurprisingly, Dante and Vergil oppose both of them. Dante opposes Jubileus due to how she and her angels disregard and outright abuse humanity in order to win their war against the demons and bring about their rule. Vergil, on the other hand, has merely remarked that Jubileus' [[AlmightyIdiot usual condition]] makes her an ineffective and unworthy ruler and that Paradiso doesn't offer anything that he or even humanity would deem desirable. By contrast, their opinion of Queen Sheba is slightly better, albeit only in the sense that they like that she [[AtLeastIAdmitIt doesn't pretend to be virtuous]]. Sheba herself has shown an interest in them because she suspects that they are the sons of [[ShoutOut a certain Legendary Dark Knight and an Umbra Witch named Eva]], who had previously faced the amassed armies of Inferno. When said Dark Knight indeed ascended to the Pantheon and confirmed Sheba's suspicions by having his wife revived as his Herald via the power of his contract, he declared similar opposition to both celestial goddesses. |
| 133 | ** Through the existence of Kat's timeline, they're both aware that angels and demons could potentially mate to create hybrids called Nephilim. Neither is particularly fond of this due to the WildCard nature of the Nephilim. They carry the powers of both Paradiso and Inferno with no incentive to be loyal to either side, making them a threat to both realms who will choose their targets depending on who oppresses their lives or obstructs their interests. Take the Nephilim versions of Dante and Vergil, for example. Living in a world dominated by a demonic conspiracy led by a banker version of Mundus, one is an antisocial hedonist who turns into a rebel on the side of the humans and the other is a ControlFreak [[spoiler:who will destroy the demons' control grid just so he can take the throne for himself]]. Kat herself was cynical about angels in general and very much against most demons even before learning of Paradiso and Inferno's true nature, considering the demons' dominance in her world [[spoiler:as well as the treachery of Nephilim Vergil]]. |
| 134 | ** The poet Dante Alighieri strongly dislikes both of them, but especially Jubileus due to the fact that, like YHVH, he views her as a black-hearted mockery of the Christian God. Sheba respects Dante's ability to fight his way through Hell and eventually return, but nonetheless doesn't view him as much of a threat. |
| 135 | ** Their shared enemies include the Archangel Michael and the Seven Heavenly Virtues, who refuse to swear fealty to Jubileus and oppose Sheba on sheer principle. Michael and the Virtues disapprove of Jubileus' goal and disregard for humanity's free will, with the Virtues in particular remarking that she reminds them of [[Anime/SevenMortalSins an alternate reality]] in which [[spoiler:God decided to destroy Earth and Hell]]. |
| 136 | ** Other common enemies include Sargeras and Merged Zamasu, both of whom desire to create a better world by [[FinalSolution killing everyone]]. Jubileus hates them for standing in the way of her plans and is especially annoyed by Zamasu's assessment that her goal to merge the Trinity of Realities into one world ruled by her and her angels is not sufficient and should at least include the complete extermination of all sentient mortal life. Sheba, meanwhile, views Sargeras as a potential threat to her title, as he is not only strong enough to pose a challenge to her, but has also managed to gather a sizable army of demons to his side. Fortunately for her, many of the demons regard his goal to [[OmnicidalManiac destroy the universe]] as [[EvenEvilHasStandards being too extreme even by their standards]]. On the hand, Zamasu hates Sheba because he regards her as an abomination due to her demonic nature. |
| 137 | ** Their interactions with the elite demon warriors known as the Ten Commandments are somewhat complicated, mostly due to Estarossa[[spoiler:/Mael]]. When Sheba first encountered them, she gave them an offer to join her. Fraudrin, Galand, Grayroad and Melascula made it clear that their loyalty belongs exclusively to the Demon King, but that they're otherwise willing to work together with her. Zeldris, Derieri and Monspeet were a lot more willing to join her, as their loyalty to the Demon King has either diminished or even outright vanished. Drole and Gloxinia, being [[spoiler:a giant and a fairy respectively]], declined her offer due to not wanting to serve another Demon Monarch again. Estarossa, surprisingly, accepted her offer without much hesitation, seeing it as an opportunity to acquire more power for himself. Sheba is well aware of his [[MightMakesRight thirst for power]] and [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity unstable mindset]], but deems him to be useful enough to keep around as an ally. However, when it was revealed that Estarossa [[spoiler:is actually the Archangel Mael]], it strongly dismayed Sheba and drew the attention of Jubileus, who approached [[spoiler:Mael]] with an offer to join her in exchange for helping him find a way to [[spoiler:avoid turning back into Estarossa]]. However, he rejected her offer because he doesn't want to repeat the mistakes he made when he served the Supreme Goddess, much to Jubileus' annoyance. |
| 138 | ** Each have rather complicated ties to Aesir and his halves. True to his character when he's whole, the balancing God of Chaos tends to remain neutral between the two. When they're split in two, Loki generally finds them unpleasant and opts to ignore them, while Loptr [[spoiler:was the one who corrupted Father Balder into worshiping and helping awaken Jubileus]]. Even that alliance is rather shaky, as she can't be sure whether he actually intends to [[spoiler:entrust her with the Eyes of the World or keep them for himself]]. |
| 139 | * Exclusive to Jubileus: |
| 140 | ** Although YHVH was greatly annoyed by Balder's deception and brief insurrection, he was pleased by the possibility of gaining another ally for the GUAL. However, her improperly resurrected form makes her of little use to them. As a result, the GUAL started looking for methods of restoring her to full power. After a while, they successfully found several methods of fully restoring her. Unfortunately, none of their methods have managed to be permanent, and she always ends up reverting back to being a mindless, uncontrollable force of nature. To make matters more complicated, Jubileus' true personality [[WordOfGod was revealed]] to be equivalent to that of a self-absorbed, typical sixteen-year-old human. As a result, Jubileus tends to not get along with YHVH, as she generally doesn't tolerate anyone other than herself being TopGod. |
| 141 | ** Aside from YHVH, Jubileus tends to butt heads with The Love that Moves the Stars, Eru Illúvatar, and Chakravartin, as they are all similarly creator deities. She dislikes the Highest Joy and Eru Illúvatar for seemingly being rather passive, allowing evil to persist rather than trying to eradicate it outright. On the other hand, her rivalry with Chakravartin is a bit more amicable due to the fact that she initially ascended as one of his followers before she and Queen Sheba were given their own shared temple. Also, among the GUAL, Jubileus generally manages to get along with Galeem, who shares her goal of imposing order upon others and similarly desires to defeat his own dark counterpart. |
| 142 | ** Jubileus has managed to become allies with Jibril and Malthael, although neither has explicitly sworn fealty to her. Jibril isn't really interested in Jubileus' goal, but is willing to work for her in exchange for books and the opportunity to once again [[AxCrazy kill something]]. Malthael, on the other hand, fully supports her goal and is very dedicated in their common battle against the demons. |
| 143 | ** Jubileus has a strong dislike for angels that outright oppose her and her goals. As such, she quickly became enemies with Flonne, Artina, Tyrael and Auriel. The fact that Flonne inadvertently became a FallenAngel by helping Laharl become Overlord and Tyrael gave up being an angel altogether in order to aid humanity directly is something she finds particularly appalling. |
| 144 | * Exclusive to Queen Sheba: |
| 145 | ** Queen Sheba quickly sought to establish herself as the undisputed ruler of all Demons. Fortunately for her, most of her rivals are either weaker than her, such as Mundus and Fortinbras, or are not in any position to effectively oppose her, such as Dis. As a result, her position as ruler of demonkind is relatively secure. However, she has received critisim for her rather hands-off-approach to her title, seemingly content to let the demons do as they please and fight among themselves for supremacy. Many lesser demons who are disgruntled with her lack of initiative have instead sworn fealty to her rivals, resulting in Mundus and Frotinbras forming their own factions and even Dis having many loyal followers who are willing to carry out any orders given to them by the Dolorous One. |
| 146 | ** Many of the gods have speculated that her seemingly apathetic approach to leadership is because, in order to maintain the BalanceBetweenGoodAndEvil, the demons cannot overtake the angels or vice-versa. As such, due to Jubileus being rendered inactive for long periods of time, Sheba cannot get too involved either, as that would upset the balance. It is similarly believed that she allows the demons to fight amongst themselves in order to prevent them from potentially forming an alliance against her. |
| 147 | ** When approached by Lucifer with an offer to join the GUAC, Sheba accepted and has since provided the GUAC with her army of demons. However, she has also received criticism for not taking a more active role in their alliance, which she generally shrugs off. |
| 148 | ** One day, she was approached by the demon Crowley, who, due to his prior experience as King of Hell, offered his services to her as her second-in-command, allowing her to issue orders to the demons who are still loyal to her without having to get personally involved. Although Sheba is well aware of the fact that Crowley [[DragonWithAnAgenda isn't particularly loyal to her]], she accepted his offer due to the convenience that it offers to her and the fact that she doesn't regard Crowley as a threat to her. |
| 149 | ** Sheba also managed to gain an ally in the Devil of Inkwell Isles, who shares the common goal of many demons to make deals with people. However, his reason for joining her is mainly due to his realization that she is much stronger than him. |
| 150 | ** Asmodeus tried to strike up a partnership with Sheba by proposing that they could rule over the demons together, pointing out that he was similarly a primeval demonic entity who was born alongside a good counterpart, his brother Ihys, whom he eventually killed. However, Sheba rejected his offer not only because she couldn't stand his [[HeManWomanHater unrepentant misogyny]], but also because she regards his frequent LoopholeAbuse as something that would [[PragmaticVillainy deter people from making deals with them]]. She allowed Crowley, on her behalf, to make their case: |
| 151 | --> '''Crowley''': ''"We have one rule: make a deal, keep it. There's a reason we don't call our chips in early; consumer confidence. [[TakeThat This isn't Wall Street.]] This is Hell! [[EvenEvilHasStandards We have a little something called integrity.]] This gets out who'll deal with us? Nobody! Then where are we?!"'' |
| 152 | ** Dismayed and annoyed, Asmodeus has since formed his own faction of demons and desires to one day overthrow Sheba and prove that he is superior to her. |
| 153 | ** Other enemies of Sheba include the Archangel Imperius and Demon Hunter Illidan Stormrage. Imperius, although not an ally of Jubileus, is nonetheless extremely dedicated towards killing demons and anyone with demon blood. Similarly, Illidan's dedication towards hunting and killing demons is so strong that he was eventually banished from the House of Demons entirely in order to prevent further damage. Sheba has aknowledged both of them as legitimate threats and has fought them on several occasions since. |

| 171 | * Uneasy Alliance / TeethClenchedTeamwork: '''''[[Pantheon/ClonesAndCounterparts Roboking]]''''' |
| 172 | * His ascension occurred when he landed on top of the Main House and began to perform some guitar music, commanding his son and his son's cousins to roll around sticky balls called Katamaris and to collect as much as they can. Several deities took this as a threat and tried to stop them... [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished only to get rolled up for their efforts]]. Eventually, his son rolled up his Katamari to a size so big he managed to roll up the King himself, before the King decided to get out and toss it up into the sky, creating a star, [[BigNo much to the fear and horror of everyone both inside and watching it]]. Surprisingly, everyone and everything whom got rolled up just appeared back on the Pantheon within a blink of an eye with no reports of revival magic being used, [[DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist as if nothing even happened to them]]. He decided to name the large star "Trope Heaven" and proceeded to make his home within the Hall Of Divine Behavior, seeing the Pantheon as a place full of many items that he and his son can use to turn into stars. He was approved unanimously, although warned to keep his rollings as non destructive and with as small as a Katamari as possible ([[GodzillaThreshold unless the Main House decides that such a case is needed, like when he needs them to remake some of the stars in the sky]]). He reluctantly agreed, yet still has his followers roll around huge Katamaris, just sparingly, thanks to him bartering with the Main House on grounds of how DeathIsCheap. |
| 173 | * Was actually here for a while, being happy with how unique the Pantheon is. However, one day, [[BreakingTheFourthWall Deadpool showed up and commented on how ironic it was that the King's profile is so small]], given his BiggerIsBetter stance. The King, [[NoFourthWall also having the ability to check up on how popular he and his game is]], decided to double check. Upon realizing that what Deadpool said was true, [[UnstoppableRage lightning and meteors came smashing around the Main House]]. He was forced to be restrained by several other overdeities and once properly sedated, he ordered his followers to go around making new stars to increase the size of his profile. |
| 174 | * His many nephews and nieces provided the Pantheon with the stars in the sky. The fact that the King himself oftentimes screws up and causes their destruction is usually overlooked, because he always returns things to the way they were. Though he sometimes has fans request stars for him to make, whenever it's him being nice to them, [[NoFourthWall he knows that it's what the fans want]], or if he wants to be cooler than a school principal. [[NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer No, really]], [[https://youtu.be/SiyRPMTpKBc?t=2m23s he did that once]]. |
| 175 | ** While he does go over and review requests to make sure that they don't purposely do harm to others, [[SweetTooth pretty much any request that caters to his candy cravings get approved]]. Stocking and Mello submitted a request for a candy katamari and he got excited enough to take them both to a real life version of the Gingerbread House from the classic fairy tale, and had the Prince roll up the place for them to eat. Since then, he steps into the house of Food to fulfill sweet orders like that from time to time. |
| 176 | ** He doesn't have that much appreciation for children actually learning in schools. As such, he has placed the teachers of the academy and the house of Pantheon/{{School}} on his enemy list. He also has it out for Dolores Umbridge, ([[ZeroPercentApprovalRating someone who no one is complaining about him hating]]), and Koro-Sensei. He actually despises the latter more because of how fast and quick he is, making it impossible for even the King of All Cosmos to strike him with a meteor, let alone the Prince roll him up inside a Katamari. |
| 177 | -->'''King of All Cosmos:''' Students? Studying at school? Noooooooooooooooo!!! |
| 178 | * His petition for a Overdeity title was debated heavily within the Pantheon/CourtOfTheGods. He insisted that because he was able to [[YourSizeMayVary change his size at free will, weather permitting]], [[https://youtu.be/u8dBgBIhy8I?t=8s summon rain]], [[https://youtu.be/h6V79nFKKoY?t=13m13s lightning]], [[https://youtu.be/aVLo5hZ6yv0?t=13s meteors]], [[https://youtu.be/_lOTr4klgBg?t=19s shoot lasers from his eyes]], [[https://youtu.be/YzSZGzlU0Mc?t=25s throw fast rapid punches]] and [[https://youtu.be/tXYBFywP9_w?t=36s even summon people onto a billiard table and pool balls]] ([[HilariouslyAbusiveChildhood all just to punish his followers for making small katamaris]]), along the fact that he has such a title as ''KingOfAllCosmos'' (hell, he is the TropeNamer even), he demanded that he should hold the title of Overdeity. |
| 179 | ** However, [[spoiler:the fact has was born as someone who was a Lesser God that suffered TrainingFromHell from his own father, [[HistoryRepeats a teaching that eventually carried on over to the King for his son whenever he fails]],]] he has been suggested for a Intermediate God title. It was pushed up to Greater Godhood only due to the House of Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} revealing that [[https://youtu.be/kO2_vMFW-mY?t=10m39s he was so well strong that he could have just about anything that would kill just about anyone done to his body while sleeping, and he'll only just wake up in annoyance before falling back to sleep]]. |
| 180 | ** Eventually, upon finding out that he [[http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/6f46/48u8e9n998tg4g3fg.jpg?size_id=8 went so far for his son and cousins that he got motivated enough to]] [[http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/991d/r9zthbw27vxtl1zfg.jpg?size_id=b pull them out of a color sucking black-hole with something that should've just been sucked right into the black hole]], [[http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/478b/cwswcss18v3bvpqfg.jpg?size_id=b and punched hard enough to spread a colorful katamari across the universe]], he was finally given the title of Overdeity, albeit on the lesser side. |
| 181 | * In spite of the fact that the King has a history of harshly punishing his son, make no mistake; he loves his son dearly; it's just that he hates failure and seeing his son fail a lot as well. This method of berating and demanding perfection has gotten him a friend in Cranky Kong, who approves of such a style of parenting. |
| 182 | ** Interestingly enough, he is actually very good with very small children and babies, [[http://www.mediafire.com/convkey/ed87/4pewpbchfbsj5p0fg.jpg?size_id=8 and is even better at handing out suprisingly good advice]]. This may have to do with [[spoiler:[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lj_tOSa5b0 how surprisingly well he was with his son's birth]],]] and as such, he has praised the Heroic Protectors of Family, though he's content with them fighting their own fights [[NeutralNoLonger unless someone]] ''[[NeutralNoLonger REALLY]]'' [[NeutralNoLonger threatens to destroy them]]. |
| 183 | * Aside from [[http://namingway.deviantart.com/art/RLF-Okami-Damacy-159420166 a incident when he got drunk]], the King of All Cosmos is great friends with Amateratsu and her offspring, even taking them out for walks and playing catch with them. [[https://youtu.be/BadxiD2R9z0 Also helps that he is able to create a sun with a big enough Katamari]]. The two are also one of the few people that he will step into help [[AwakeningTheSleepingGiant should his power really be needed]]. Terumi's plans for taking revenge on Amateratsu had been greatly compromised due to the King's involvement. [[spoiler:Even his Susanoo form has some trouble, as the King can just hold him down while his son or one of his nieces or nephews rolls up a big enough Katamari to trap him in, [[https://youtu.be/nGvR073T7e4?t=1m12s like they did for the Roboking]].]] |
| 184 | ** Due to their similar involvement with the stars, Rosalina has expressed gratitude for the King and his followers for making the sky as pretty as it is. |
| 185 | * [[http://www.nerfnow.com/comic/image/120 After a incident with the Prince rolling around a Sticky Grenade from Demoman]], the King of All Cosmos has decided to just skip the house of Pantheon/{{Explosives}} in general. |
| 186 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLm5uUHar2s Has actually advertised and asked for support for the Japanese Tsunami Earthquake of 2011]]. While the promised game never released, it did have its intended effect, and for that, he did get some points from the house of Pantheon/{{Nature}}. |
| 187 | ** On another note of using the media, [[https://twitter.com/kingofthecosmos?lang=en he has a Twitter account that is considered "dead"]]. Still, several members of the House of Pantheon/{{Knowledge}} are scanning and are trying to find anything intriguing inside. |
| 188 | * [[EveryoneHasStandards For as illogical as some of his requests for stars can be]], even he is opposed of the idea of using a katamari that has too much speed for trying to [[ThatOneLevel locate and pick up one singular cow/bear/cowbear]]. [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness He even called his followers worthy of being the future Kings/Queens of all Cosmos for deciding to use this speedy mode]] [[ThatOneLevel when trying to get their katamari heated up to 10000 degrees Celsius]]. |
| 189 | * [[SincerityMode Don't think that him hurting his followers when they failed him gives you rights to harm them yourself, doubly so if it's his son]]. Junko learned that the hard way after she had some of her Monokuma Bots take the Prince's katamari, stick him onto it, and play soccer with it with intentions of having it collide with bombs whenever they scored a goal. Upon finding out about this from other deities whom saw it in action and recognizing her [[Anime/DanganRonpa3 from a tape she sent into the Main House to show how bad she really is]], [[BigDamnHeroes the King called his son back via Royal Rainbow]], blasted Junko's temple down with his eye lasers, rolled up all the debris into a katamari, [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech publically delivered a verbal beat down to Junko for how she has to hide behind others and only takes the front line of her plans if she has some form of fighters backing her up]] before finally tossing the katamari up into a sky and creating a star, [[KickThemWhileTheyAreDown naming it the "Insecure Diva Star"]]. Seeing how this act was what finally ruined Junko's chances of getting into [[Pantheon/GUAETrollkaiger Trollkaiger]], she decided to sit out on abusing any of the King's followers next time, to say the least. |
| 190 | ** He is also HappilyMarried with a wife called "The Queen of All Cosmos". Don't think for the second that the king is the type to cheat on his wife, and especially if you try to call his crotch the [[FanNickName "Blade of All Cosmos"]]. Panty thought this and ended up with her being bounded up in a rope and acting as a substitution for a punching bag before the King trashed her into a katamari and rolled her around before being made into a star. However, she later reported to him that she actually liked being rolled around as well, being the LovableSexManiac that she is. Thus, the King, having the same unusual tastes as she does, settled on letting her hop into a katamari whenever she wants to be rolled around, seeing it as a fair exchange. |
| 191 | * [[HiddenDepths He is surprisingly very good at the guitar as well as singing]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M06aDKSgK5o if his secondary theme song is of any indication]]. He has since been making routine performances within the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}}. |
| 192 | * He was downright '''''FURIOUS''''' at the fact that Roboking actually managed to ascend into the Pantheon, even more so by the fact that he really can't do anything about it [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall because there are even higher powers than him who want him in]]. As such, he has been forced to accept his position, and wishes to do nothing with him... |
| 193 | ** At least, [[SpannerInTheWorks until he found out just WHO suggested that he ascended (Junko and Terumi), and why]]. Thankfully, the Prince not only managed to successfully diffuse Roboking from having a ForeverWar with the King, but also had him accept that he'll be fine just serving as a replacement when needed. As such, after getting the names of who helped ascend him, the King went off to [[NiceJobFixingItVillain thank them for giving him something to lighten his heavy workload on]], [[OhCrap and promised them that they will see the true extent of his power soon enough]]. As such, [[VillainousBreakdown they have been even more on edge than usual when you bring up "The King of All Cosmos" to them]]. |
| 194 | *** [[SkewedPriorities Despite being more concerned about how the Prince designed Roboking than the actual robot himself]], [[AwakeningTheSleepingGiant he will allow NO-ONE to possess him or hack into him with the sole purpose of causing destruction within the Pantheon]], and will step up to the challenge of whoever tries to do such a act. As such, Love Machine, after being on the receiving end of a CurbStompBattle from the King, and XANA, whom oversaw it, are forced to just sit and watch as a potentially powerful weapon for their own needs is out within the Pantheon, without anything they can do to take over him. |

| 218 | * Pities: [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Xion]] |
| 219 | * Conflicting Opinion: [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Homura Akemi]], Medea & Souichirou Kuzuki, [[Pantheon/MotivationsForRevenge Hera]] |
| 220 | * Not long after Hector's ascension, two divine looking beings, a woman in red with a large hat and a skeletal humanoid with large black wings were seen out on a date in the House of Pantheon/LoveAndAffection. The Court of the Gods were notified of their presence and sent messengers to summon them, but the couple show themselves up to the courtroom and introduced themselves as La Muerte and Xibalba. The Court tells them that they qualify for the GodCouple trope, due to the fact that they are two deities married to each other and are still going strong despite their differences. They accept their newfound position and settled in the sub-Houses of Divinity and Pantheon/CouplesArchetypes. |
| 221 | * Speaking of Hector, he at first thought they run his homeworld's Land of the Dead. They told him that is sadly not the case, but they still have good relations with him as they sympathized with his former best friend '''KILLING HIM''' and stealing the credit of a song he wrote, as well as trying to reunite with his daughter, much like Manolo Sanchez's own problems with Joaquin and Maria. On another unrelated note, the three have noticed [[DuelingShows the similarities between their universes]] and decided [[FlameWar they shouldn't be discussed further than that]]. |
| 222 | * They have donated a copy of [[GreatBigBookOfEverything The Book of Life]] to the House of Knowledge, with Histoire and the Librarian acknowledging the transaction. Histoire in particular got along with the divine couple really well for guarding a big book of information much like their Herald, the Candlemaker who she got acquainted with swiftly. |
| 223 | * They have quickly allied themselves with Cosmos, Eru Iluvatar and his second in command, Manwe who have congratulated them for giving the people of San Angel an edge in fighting the bandit king Chakal. They were wary of Xibalba and his previous actions, though the latter says he is currently redeeming himself from them by playing nice; La Muerte promises them he will not cheat again, considering she's his MoralityPet. |
| 224 | ** Of course, Melkor did not take kindly to their ascension so he threatens them by vowing to extinguish the Land of the Remembered just out of spite, which rubs them the wrong way and also shows that there are far more worse adversaries than Chakal. Lord Chaos and Garland are also villains the couple have been wary of, since Cosmos heavily implied [[spoiler:she and Chaos were once an item]] and Xibalba feels conflicted from hearing about it. |
| 225 | ** The other Grand United Alliance Leaders are not friendly with them either. YHVH thinks the Land of the Remembered does not deserve times of joy, a fact La Muerte takes great offense at. Lucifer may have somewhat reasonable goals, but his penchant for anarchic chaos makes Chakal look like a wannabe. Nekron may as well top their enemies list; him wanting death and destruction makes him more dangerous than Chakal, which threatens the living and the Land of the Remembered as well. Nekron called them pathetic for giving the dead too much leeway, especially Xibalba for not being spiteful enough to go against everyone; this angered Xibalba greatly, who refutes that despite his abrasiveness towards everyone, he wouldn't stoop too low to the point of raising the dead because he has someone he cares about. Nekron then leaves disgusted at them, angered at their moral upstanding. |
| 226 | * The couple have a better time with Retsu Unohana than with Nurgle. That's because Retsu cares about everyone and their safety while Nurgle ''thinks'' so, but does not realize his actions are more harmful to others. Nurgle thinks he could be best buds with Xibalba, but the latter [[EvenEvilHasStandards wants nothing to do with him]]. |
| 227 | ---> '''Xibalba''': Yeah, sorry buddy. I can't hang out with you, I must uh... feed my snake. |
| 228 | ** They cannot agree with SCP-049 and his perspective on "curing" the living. That would mean far too many needless deaths entering the Lands of the Remembered and Forgotten. Xibalba is offended that someone else with the TouchOfDeath never thinks about what their powers can actually do to innocents. They are also enemies with Malthael, a FallenAngel that has powers over death and seeks to purge all living beings corrupted by demons who sees the couple as demonic. |
| 229 | * Being a divine couple, they have gotten along with other couples. They see a lot of themselves in Gomez & Morticia Addams and Hades & Persephone, who welcome them warmly in their respective temples anytime. They were surprised that Kouta Kazuraba & Mai Takatsukasa [[DeityOfHumanOrigin were once human]], and Kouta does more DivineIntervention than Mai who must always look after Planet Helheim. They were also surprised that Zen, a divine being and Rei, a human [[DivineDate can actually get together]]. Princess Cadence & Shining Armor have also congratulated them (Cadence especially) on maintaining their happy marriage. |
| 230 | ** Zeus and Hera never had the best marriage, which disappointed La Muerte and Xibalba. Doesn't help that Zeus constantly cheated on her with other goddesses and Hera commends them for having a happier marriage despite [[ClingyJealousGirl giving said goddesses punishments for getting close to Zeus]], [[EveryoneHasStandards something even La Muerte find too much]]. The other Hades is someone they're enemies with, since he tarnishes their good friend's name. Considering what they are capable of, he is treading caution while still finding a way to taunt them good. |
| 231 | ** Aphrodite thought Xibalba would be willing cheat on La Muerte, but the truth couldn't be more farther than that as they love each other too deeply. This relieve her greatly and she wishes them best, which they accept more than they do with Hera's praise. They have heard of Ato-ko Shirogane and her shtick of destroying relationships and already, they are more than happy to punish her should she do the same to them. Ato-ko herself wouldn't dare to ruin their marriage, considering that they are deities and their devotion is too strong to be broken. |
| 232 | ** They feel conflicted over the fact that a [[UnholyMatrimony villainous couple like Medea & Souichirou Kuzuki could be happy together]]. Sure their marriage is something they can respect, but both are willing to do bad things nonetheless. Trip & Grace feel insecure and are in denial over the fact that two deities are happier being together than they are; the divine couple tries to give them marriage advice, but they are too adamant and refuses to even listen to them. |
| 233 | * Given that the Land of the Remembered needs [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve everyone remembering their loved ones]], La Muerte has befriended Mithra for managing the faith for the Trope Pantheons. Asura also got acquainted with her, finding her not as bad as the other gods he met in his adventure. He and Mithra are still intimidated by Xibalba and are wary of him, despite the latter being harmless lately. |
| 234 | * They are very impressed with The Nephalem's exploits of defeating [[Pantheon/{{Emotion}} Diablo]] just by not being included in their prophecy. It helps that their heroic roles are just like Manolo's, though La Muerte granted Manolo the power to be ImmuneToFate while The Nephalem were already granted said power from the start. |
| 235 | * Since they love making bets a lot which gives them ups and downs (severity depends on their actions), they are seeking Tsunade and Marge Simpson for counseling on reducing this behaviour. Though half the time, Tsunade often ended up enabling said behaviour instead, causing Marge to FacePalm. Tsunade does note that she and La Muerte have [[Creator/MasakoKatsuki something in common]]. For Marge, she at least finds solace over the fact that they are GoodParents towards their children, even if one of them ([[WesternAnimation/ElTigre Sartana]]) ended up being a bad guy. Given the bad experiences of Xibalba cheating during bets, Bandit Keith is someone they consider a bad example of, even moreso than Xibalba. Keith is staying far away from them, lest he makes a bet with them and not holding up his promises like he usually do. |
| 236 | * Lord English and Doc Scratch are arguably worse than Nekron in terms of wanting destruction and the couple are making preparations should their plan nearly comes to fruition again. There's also Zanza, who wants to recreate the world as he sees fit after destroying it and Yuuki Terumi, whose countless atrocities involve inflicting despair and provoking weapons of mass destruction just to get back at the creator goddess that has forsaken him. [[MisanthropeSupreme Misanthropes]] like Shinobu Sensui and Lysandre are also enemies to look out for considering like them, Chakal hates his fellow humans too. All of them see La Muerte and Xibalba as greater obstacles to overcome so that they can achieve their goals for the end of the world. |
| 237 | ** The Lich and Justice are more names on their shitlist given that the former is an EnemyToAllLivingThings (not too mention [[EvilCounterpart being like an unhinged Xibalba]]) and the latter feels the couple does nothing to stop the violence and madness in their world as well as [[LackOfEmpathy having no remorse for his victims]], no matter [[AssholeVictim how depraved they may be]]. What doesn't help is that they [[Creator/RonPerlman sound like Xibalba]], further disgusting him. |
| 238 | * They have met Madoka Kaname and find her a really sweet girl who only wants what was best for everyone. Her friend, Homura Akemi is a bit different; sure Homura's pain of wanting to seeing her friend again is understandable but she also depowered said friend just so she does not lose her. La Muerte is more willing to hear her out (despite Homura not wanting to talk about it), knowing that Homura is suffering as much as everyone she has wronged while Xibalba sees it as an injustice, vowing to end Homura for good should she pull another stunt like that. |
| 239 | * The Land of the Forgotten is where the dead go whenever nobody ever remember them. However, the couple has never heard of [[RetGone someone being instantly erased from existence]]; that someone is Xion. They have met her and were saddened of her fate in the mortal world. Xion also has warned them about Master Xehanort and his plans to kidnap the princesses [[spoiler:and other girls with similar auras]] for his grand master plan against the entire Pantheons, which they agree to keep in mind. They then bet each other that either one of them will ruin one of Xehanort's plans. |
| 240 | * They have met Dizzy, who's also a sweetheart like Madoka. Xibalba is fascinated by her black wing, Necro though he assures her that he just find him cool-looking and not provoking him until he's out of control. SCP-1440 does not like them, since he mostly stay away from death entities after escaping death, despite the couple actually pitying his current state. |
| 241 | * Apparently [[WordOfGod/TheBookOfLife according to their creator]], they along with La Muerte's sister, La Noche and her husband, El Chamuco make bets all the time, which ended up causing '''every single event''' known in human history. Because of this, all deities (even the real ones who are still living) are now wary of them and Marge has more reasons to be exasperated at them. |
| 242 | * Exclusive to La Muerte: |
| 243 | ** La Muerte has gotten along with other benevolent goddesses and queens like Palutena and Princess Celestia. She finds a lot of common ground with Palutena and even joins her for tea talking about their favourite people. Princess Celestia is happy that La Muerte is living proof that [[DontFearTheReaper death is not always a bad thing]]. |
| 244 | ** She rules the Land of the Remembered, an afterlife where the dead go and stay forever as long as there is people alive to remember them. Since she shows that the afterlife is a fun place, she gets along with the good-aligned deities in the sub-house of Pantheon/AfterlifeEntities. Her opinion on the evil ones are obvious. There is also Lord Death, who La Muerte once serve as his follower. Lord Death is ecstatic that a fellow friendly reaper is here and together, they help spread the idea that death is not something to fear. |
| 245 | ** She has also befriended fellow {{All Loving Hero}}es Yusuke Godai, Rushuna Tendou and Fluttershy. She is glad that Yusuke and Rushuna are fighting for everyone's happiness and Fluttershy was initially almost intimidated by her appearance, but is relieved once she find La Muerte to be quite friendly and also have met Princess Celestia. |
| 246 | * Exclusive to Xibalba: |
| 247 | ** Finds a lot of common ground with Discord, who finds him a jolly good fellow to have fun with. It helps that they are reforming, though Celestia, La Muerte and Fluttershy are making sure that they still do so. Also got along with fellow TricksterGod Loki, [[spoiler:who also reformed]] though even Xibalba is making sure to be wary of his motives time and time again. |
| 248 | ** Has joined Death from ''WesternAnimation/RegularShow'', Grim and Charon for their own games of poker. Xibalba feels bad about Grim's predicament of having to be the best friend of two kids (doesn't help that one is incredibly stupid and the other is scarily bossy, even for a child) and Charon being SadlyMythtaken just like his superior, Hades. The three find him a not really bad guy, though they promise to La Muerte that his cheating habits will be punished more often than not, given they too value upholding bargains. |
| 249 | ** Currently under supervision of [[spoiler:Dizzy's father]] Sol Badguy who helps other people who did bad things repent for their actions. It also helps (and is often irking) they have [[Creator/JojiNakata another thing in common]]. |

| 269 | * Feared by: [[Pantheon/PersonsOfDesire Luka, Youta Tada]] |
| 270 | * Pities: [[Pantheon/RomanticLoss Belarus]] |
| 271 | * The Titans Hyperion and Theia had three children; Helios for the sun, Selene for the moon and Eos for the dawn. Once a LoveGoddess, she got on the bad side of Aphrodite for sleeping with Ares, and was cursed with unquenchable lust. As such, she always ends up taking handsome men to have their way with, whether they want to or not. Of course [[JerkassGods most Greek gods]] [[DoubleStandardRapeDivineOnMortal don't give a crap about consent]]. |
| 272 | * While the Ancient Greeks didn't consider rape a big deal if it was the powerful on the weak, the Trope Pantheon and most of modern society is ''[[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil hell no]]'' on that. As such, she is detested by rape victims of both genders. |
| 273 | * Unlike Zeus, Eos does have a reason for why she's a SerialRapist; Aphrodite cursed her with unremitting lust. As such, she absolutely despises Aphrodite for cursing her and taking her position as goddess of love. She doesn't like Arael for inflicting MindRape, which she considers her own curse to be something like it. She also despises Slaanesh for corrupting people with lust of various degrees, and especially Kratos for killing Ares. |
| 274 | * Though she is quick to blame Aphrodite for her rapaciousness, the Phantom Thieves believe she is using it [[NeverMyFault to not tackle her own problems]]. Ann especially, given she was a sex abuse survivor, and plan to pay her [[HeelFaceBrainwashing a visit]]. Unfortunately given Eos is [[OurGodsAreDifferent a literal god]] (not some product of the collective consciousness like [[Pantheon/ReligionAndFaith Yaldabaoth]], a bonafide deity) it is unlikely to end well for them. |
| 275 | * She is feared by Luka and Youta Tada due to their aphrodisiac nature, which combined with Eos' insatiable sex drive [[OutWithABang would spell death for them]]. She does get along with the Kankers, given their double standard of obsession with other men. Interestingly despite Innana's similarities to Aphrodite the two get along, mainly because the goddess of the Dawn can relate to how Ishatar is NotGoodWithRejection and her WomanScorned tendencies. |
| 276 | * She was happy to meet her siblings in the pantheon, wondering where they had been the past couple years. She recognized some similarities between them and the alicorns, though neither of them wanted to associate themselves with Eos. Neither did Ezalor, despite Eos liking him for being a benevolent god of the light. Interestingly Eos is married to the god of the dusk, Astraeus. If he cares about her sleeping around [[MyGirlIsASlut or not]] has yet to be discovered. |
| 277 | * Her arrival was met with intense anger from Chernabog. As the rising sun forces him away, the fact that Eos is the goddess of the dawn makes her one of his gravest opponents. Conversely, she finds Nightmare Moon's desire to prevent the sun ever rising again to be utterly opposed to her role as goddess of the dawn. It also defies her husband's role as god of the dusk. However she has no hard feelings towards the House of Pantheon/DarknessAndShadow, given she's married to a darkness-related god. |
| 278 | * Despite her dismissal of consent, like Zeus she has had a number of willing lovers. However her gifts can backfire. One time she wanted to avert the MayflyDecemberRomance trope by granting Tithonus' wish for eternal life. However [[DidntThinkThisThrough she forgot about eternal youth]] and Tithonus [[AgeWithoutYouth continued to get older]] [[AndIMustScream until he was too decrepit to move]] [[FateWorseThanDeath and begged for death]]. In later retellings he was given a mercy and became a cicada, thus making the cicadas sacred to her. |
| 279 | * Among her most common male lovers are Glenn Quagmire, who shares similar issues with respecting consent, and Zapp Brannigan. Glenn was able to keep up with her libido, and it's assumed the only reason Eos didn't catch all his [=STDs=] is because of her divine nature (explains why Zeus never complains about it). Zapp had trouble keeping up and Eos was more the pursuer. Of course, Zapp doesn't have real angst when he was almost snu-snued to death as a prisoner of the Amazonians. Plus while not a rapist, he still pulls dirty tricks to get laid. |
| 280 | * The Pantheon/FormsOfImmortality sub-house was paid a visit by Eos, which they were initially opposed to given the fate of poor Tithonus. She said "that was the one time!" and had arrived in order to learn how to give her lovers proper immortality. There are a number of different immortal deities to take an example from, after all. |
| 281 | * Though not exactly happy with her "meh" view on consent, Necrozma is on good terms with Eos. It's down to the two seeing in each other a fallen deity, far more severe in the Blinding One's case. [[TragicVillain Its crippling left it in a bad place]], and [[PetTheDog as an act of kindness]] Eos is working to restore the Prism Pokemon to its full power without the need of [[Pantheon/SpaceManipulation Nebby]] or Ultranecrozium. |
| 282 | * Hypocritically has it out for Griffith and Molag Bal. While a very understandable disgust, most think she fears they will rape ''her''. Griffith made it clear that what he did to [[Pantheon/LoveInterests Casca]] was about ''spite'', not lust, and believes she fears his ambition and supplanting him. Molag Bal is someone to be more scared of, but he approves of her making men her boy-toys given his spheres of rape and domination. He feels [[TheSocialDarwinist deities can get away with it because of the rule of the strong]], and would be welcome to a consensual one night stand with her. [[BigRedDevil Given his appearance]], she's grossed out at the idea. |
| 283 | * Zamasu was pretty disgusted by her. Publicly it's because she disavows her for being a rapist, though really it's because he considers the idea of sex with a mortal to be gross and humiliating for the god. There's also the fact that as Kais are born from divine fruits, their sex drives would be at most limited ([[DirtyOldMan Old Kai]] has the excuse of having merged with a witch in the past). For a brief moment there was silence at it seemed for once Zamasu wasn't being a {{Hypocrite}}. But then Eos shot back |
| 284 | -->'''Eos''': "Oh, you think you have the moral high ground because you don't force mortals to be your lovers? Let's put aside your genocide of man and god alike and point out you [[GrandTheftMe stole]] [[Pantheon/PowerAndAbilities Goku's]] body as Goku Black, and twisted it into a thing of terror. If rape is forcing someone's body to your own ends, then that makes ''you'' a rapist, just not the sexual kind. So don't play EvenEvilHasStandards with ''me''". |
| 285 | * Tends to get along with [[{{Yandere}} yanderes]] and those who feel entitled to relationships, like Alex Forrest and Vlad Masters. For what it's worth she's genuinely fond of them. However she also has genuine pity for more moral gods like Lumi due to needing to MateOrDie. She seems to be fond of Brynhild due to the tragedy of her love. |
| 286 | * Hangs out with lusty deities. Some like Panty are a bit too concerned with her kidnapping of men to hang out with her despite wanting to do so, others like the Black Queen of Sogo were more willing. |
| 287 | * Was intrigued at how the common theory on how [[Pantheon/AstronomicalBodies the Moon]] had formed was an impact by a Mars-sized planet called Theia, named after her mother. She was rather dissapointed to learn [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperion_(moon) the moon named after her father]] was a glorified asteroid, and she couldn't find anything named after herself. |

| 325 | * Respects: Most HappilyMarried deities like [[Pantheon/CouplesArchetypes Gomez and Morticia Adams]] [[EveryoneHasStandards unless they're too evil]] |
| 326 | * Incest amongst gods often lacks the taboo that incest amongst humanity does. After all, when you're a literal deity the dangers of inbreeding usually aren't there and [[SituationalSexuality there usually aren't that many options]]. Geb and Nut are elder deities of the earth and sky, being twins in love. Their father Shu also married his twin Tefnut but he apparently didn't care for their relationship, so he forces earth and sky to be separate; in fairness, it's kind of hard for life to thrive when the earth and sky are so close. This didn't stop them from canoodling and having quadruplets, who coupled up as Osiris and Isis, and Set and Nephthys. Ra tried to stop their procreations by made it so that Nut would be sterile for every day of the year. Thoth decided to help her out by gambling with Khonsu for 1/72nd of Moon's light, adding an additional five days to the year where Nut was free to have as many children as she could bear; this why there are 365 days in a year[[note]]they didn't have leap years back then[[/note]]. |
| 327 | * Applies to both |
| 328 | ** Geb used to be a member of the Trope Pantheon, under the RockMonster trope. Over time however the Court of the Gods chose to let him go because he wasn't upkeeping his temple and said trope was only applicable to his ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'' incarnation. He accepted this if only because he swore that somehow he would bring his sister-wife Nut into the Trope Pantheon. The couple celebrated finally being able to reunite and not having to deal with their dad blocking them. However they still aren't allowed to get that physical, not because it is gross ([[DeliberateValuesDissonance they're gods, they get a pass on incest]]) but they don't want to cause too much chaos with the earth and sky being too close together. The one who organized their reunion? Their grandfather Ra...[[MultipleChoicePast when he is their grandfather]]. [[DeityIdentityConfusion It's a long story involving the primordial Atum]]. |
| 329 | ** Another factor behind their ascension were good words put in by Zia Rashid, a magician and scribe of the House of Life and a member of the First Nome who had an important role in protecting Egypt. Further support was given by deities [[CrossoverCosmology of another pantheon]]; Aphrodite and Eros. Aphrodite is all about supporting her [=OTPs=] and was pissed at their father getting in the way of true love so out of support for them, and spite towards Shu had her son Eros help ascend them as a couple. Another deity, Pangu, found this a rather interesting development. In his own cosmology his body would become the cosmos, and the creator of yin and yang found Geb and Nut's ascension to be a tantalizing prospect. However Geb was going to need the skinny on everything that's happened since he left; to start with, Regirock has found another partner. |
| 330 | ** Shu was still really persistent and put his foot down that they better make him and his sister-wife/their mom Tefnut their heralds, as they were original incestuous Egyptian power couple. This was to watch them and try to curtail their relationship, [[DidntThinkThisThrough but it backfired big time when he realized]] being their herald meant ''[[ReassignmentBackfire being lesser on the pantheonic totem pole]]''. Worse for Shu; it means he can never ascend in proper because his kids already have DivineIncest. Talk about an EpicFail! Set had a laugh about this [[EvenEvilHasLovedOnes and his parents getting a win]], as in spite of Geb and Nut's descendants often being in conflict they love them equally. The only Egyptian deity they're united in opposition with is Apophis, [[HatedByAll for obvious]] [[OmnicidalManiac reasons]]. They aren't too fond of Ahkenaten either due to choosing monotheism in the form of a sun disc, reminding them of the grandfather they don't like. The other pharaohs still respect them as deities so the couple are cool with them, though they think Ramses shoud call off. |
| 331 | ** Neither are that fond of wind-related deities. Their dad Shu was a wind deity, and they're still salty about him. Shu tried to place the blame to Ra because he told him to separate them; they know, but they're still annoyed at him following orders and Ra [[NoSympathy has told the two to suck it up]], much to their frustration. Part of why he did this was because he foresaw one of their kids would overthrow them. The two got into a bit of an argy-bargy with Azir due to mistaking him for their grandfather, but after realizing they mistook him apologized for the whole affair. Al'Azir and Fujin aren't fond of them projecting their own issues on them. On a more serious note, neither are fond of Cersei Lannister. Yes they understand her and Jaime's {{Twincest}} but they consider her an abusive partner, and feel bad for what happened to Jaime. Of course, they acknowledge that as much they're frustrated by Shu he's still a better dad [[Pantheon/{{Politicians}} than Tywin]]. |
| 332 | ** Geb and Nut are seen as a {{Foil}} to Gaea and Ouranos, another incestuous coupling of land and sky. Ouranos was an AbusiveOffspring who sealed away his more monstrous-looking children for "being ugly" so Gaea got their son Cronus to castrate him in vengeance, and outside of maybe joining forces to help Rhea hide baby [[Pantheon/{{Electricity}} Zeus]] they've never reconciled. There's a fair bit of envy towards, but also respect from the Earth Mother to the couple. Hades and Persephone also ship the two. The two have a soft spot towards Romeo and Juliet because of their own forbidden love. Generally, the two are in favor for anyone who is HappilyMarried. They feel somewhat bad for Izanami due to what she became after her DeathByChildbirth. |
| 333 | ** Because they are Egyptian deities they have a rocky first impression with those connected to Biblical lore. YHVH has certainly not helped as His obsessive need for control and being the only deity of worship is offensive to them, especially since it reminds them of the whole "Cult of Aten" malarky. However [[GodIsGood the actually good Gods]] like the Alpha and the Omega, [[WesternAnimation/GodTheDevilAndBob and the one known by Bob]], are more accepting of them even if they don't hang out persay. Also, because of their frustration with their grandfather Ra they are inclined to hate Grandfather for [[GruesomeGrandparent being, like, the worst grandpa ever]]. They're also annoyed by Belarus for her [[IncestantAdmirer incessant stalking of her brother]]. They have no issue with the incest obviously, but the {{Yandere}}? No thank you. |
| 334 | * Applies to Geb |
| 335 | ** Geb blesses the land with a plentiful harvest for men. He represents the land in both the harsh deserts and the lust fertile ground, though he's more often associated with the latter. As such, he is sometimes treated as the consort of Renenutet, the goddess of vegetation and harvest, and the father of a snake deity called Nehebkau. This isn't that widespread, though Geb is known for being associated with snakes and sometimes he will be depicted with the head of one. He was even thought as a father of snakes. He likes the fashion statement the SMT version of Lilith has, though outside of opposing YHVH isn't one for "her politics". As she desires to reunite with the first man Adam she understands his desire to be with his beloved sister-wife. She mused on how since his parents [[AdamAndEvePlot are the ancestors/creators of all human and animal life in his mythos]], what Adam might think of them and Geb. |
| 336 | ** As mentioned, Geb originally debuted in his ''VideoGame/{{Smite}}'' where [[AdaptationalUgliness he loses a lot of his good looks]] and becomes a RockMonster. Its thematically appropriate but he can't imagine Nut'll be happy if she has to take an inorganic form should she be added to the roster. He'd have to ask their great-grandmother[[note]][[MultipleChoicePast or is she]][[/note]] Neith if she can give a good word in to bring Nut into the game. Though Geb looks fearsome in this form he is a GentleGiant; this makes him pretty good friends with both Groot and Iron Giant. When in combat, Geb always tries to end it as peacefully as possible. This mentality has made him good friends with the likes of Optimus Prime and Usagi Tsukino. Usagi has also sympathized with Geb's plight of being separated by his wife and she hopes to help on anyway she can to reunite the two. |
| 337 | ** Geb had additional experience as to how the Trope Pantheon works thanks to having involved himself with ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons''. Within the TabletopGame/ForgottenRealms he has a church in Mulhorand. It’s a hereditary church with the priests being members of the House of Gebthant. Each member has at least one ancestor that was a human incarnation of Geb. Despite this dwarves and gnomes are also known to be a part of said church, just not as priests. Displease him and you'll deal with a personal earthquake, but please him and follow his will and you'll be rewarded with gems. Miners who worship him are warned of unsafe areas with cracks on the ground and rock. In the ElementalPlane of Earth, he's considered the God to worship for travelers. Because the world is just Earth, and you'll effectively need Divine Intervention to survive. In this form he gets along with Aule, what with him being the crafty Valar who made the dwarves in his 'verse. Geb has given his blessings to any gnome or dwarf deity who respects his element, and could potentially give them {{Mithril}} for a valiant service. |
| 338 | ** Has been known to create earthquakes every time he laughs. Once he saw a comedy special at the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle and nearly destroyed the entire house. In his defense Geb doesn't mean to cause earthquakes, [[PowerIncontinence but he's so powerful that it happens]]. Not wanting to cause more fuss, he has asked Clark Kent to help him in controlling his power. Geb felt he kind of owed it to him because he's stopped the Earth from being conquered/destroyed hundreds of times at this point, and well he ''is'' the Earth. So if any PlanetEater or world destroyer is going to threaten Earth/him yet again he'll be ready to throw hands [[BoxingLessonsForSuperman once he's had his boxing lessons]] ''from'' Superman. |
| 339 | ** Compared to the Grecian Earth Mother, the Egyptian Earth Father is a lot more chill and he has tried to advise Gaea in "not getting involved in your descendants' BS". For the most part Gaea and Geb get along, but they do have somewhat of a FriendlyRivalry in who does the job better. For some reason Cronus was compared to Geb by classical authors, which he finds rather offensive [[EatsBabies for obvious reasons]]...though to give the devil's due, [[FallenHero Cronus did rule over a Golden Age before paranoia got the better of him]]. He's definitely more chill than Groudon, the OlympusMons of land who is constantly feuding with its opposite. Groudon is pretty territorial towards Geb, but the Egyptian god tries to not let it get to him. |
| 340 | ** He is also known to have geese as his sacred animal, who in depictions typically rest on his head. His laughter was causing a bit of trouble again when he witnessed the antics of the Goose. His (metaphorical?) air was tugged by Gaea, who wanted to talk with him about something more serious. She pointed out that as a being who maintains crops and vegetation along with other earth and land-based domains, perhaps he should aid the Nature Preservers and the House of Plants. Geb decided she's right; he'd had enough fooling around and so has focused on trying to purge walking pollution elementals like Hexxus and Hedorah. Geb has been supporting Captain Planet and his friends in their endeavors since. |
| 341 | ** Hostile planets like the Iris can GTFO as far as Geb is concerned. Benevolent planets like Mogo are welcome, however. Toph Beifong is welcome to benefit from his patronage due to her earth-based powers and good nature, even if she took Regirock as her partner. Yeah, he felt some kinship with the stone {{Golem}}, especially in his RockMonster form, but that doesn't mean they need to be partners in order to be friends. Also, he's not all that fond of one of [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Dio's]] men naming their Stand after them. He is kind of amused by the irony that the Stand with [[EarthMother his]] name [[MakingASplash is water based]], but would prefer it if Dio keeps his "shenanigans" outside of Egypt. |
| 342 | * Applies to Nut |
| 343 | ** Nut is the goddess of the sky, and all that implies. Not in the sense of being a wind deity (that'd be her dad), but in having a blue CelestialBody. Appearance-wise she's been compared to Andromeda and Eternity, though more human-looking. As a benevolent celestial being, she tends to get along with them. The Guy and Vishnu were intrigued by her due to the former's true form being a CelestialBody, and the latter in some versions, he "contains the entire universe within himself, and therefore resembles the night sky". They hold a mutual respect towards their duties and dedication to their missions. Lord Vortech also has a CelestialBody, but he's more of an enemy as his schemes of being a MultiversalConqueror bent on combining the realms would bring utter havoc to the Ancient Egyptian cosmology. |
| 344 | ** She has a fondness for Rosalina and the Lumas as being an important part of the sky she embodies, and Nut's arms and legs act as the cardinal directions. Some consider her a figure of {{Fanservice}} because [[LegFocus of her legs]], however Nut considers this crude; she is trying to form a sky/dome over the Earth/her husband, not flaunt what she's got. If you want a ShamelessFanserviceGirl, [[Pantheon/{{Canines}} Bastet]] and [[Pantheon/CelestialBodiesAndStars Hathor]] are available. One of her friends due to their role with the stars is Aurelion Sol, who crafts stars in his 'verse'. He speculates she has the potential for being even stronger than the Egyptians believed due to extrapolating just what embodying the sky itself might mean, but that theory remains untested. |
| 345 | ** During the day the Sun and Moon make their way across their body, and at dusk she swallows them so they may go through her belly and be reborn the next morning. ''[[BerserkButton Don't compare this to]]'' [[PlanetEater planet eating]] or [[StarKilling star killing]]; she is not like the gluttonous C'Tan who poison and feast on stars, and when given souls prove malicious on a human level. Also, she rolls her eyes whenever any vore jokes are made at her expense about this. Her body serves as a protection to those who embody or are in charge of the sun and/or moon, like the Princesses of Equestria. Also of note is that Nut's sacred animal is the cow, which is probably why she has a soft spot for Miltank. |
| 346 | ** Compared to Geb and Gaea's civil yet competitive relationship, Ouranos and Nut get on pretty poorly. The Greek primordial is seen as a pretty big asshole with a hostile relationship to his earth deity and especially his kids, though not without redeeming traits[[note]]in some stories he helped Rhea hide Zeus, and [[AffablyEvil while a bad person he's nice]] [[VideoGame/AgeOfMythology to Atlantans]][[/note]]. More than anything, he's jealous of her. The two are in conflict over who should be the sky parent, however [[EnemyMine he will aid her]] in holding back the PrimordialChaos that Nut acts as a physical barrier. [[EvilVersusOblivion After all, he wants something to rule over]]. Since the Crimson King and Amatsu-Mikaboshi are [[OmnicidalManiac omnicidal maniacs]] in the same vein as Apophis, Geb works with both of them to prevent their encroachment. |
| 347 | ** Nyx is a being a lot older and more powerful than Nut, however the two have a good relationship. After all, they both look after their own and the night is an important aspect of the sky. Nut isn't the Egyptian goddess of darkness, however; that would be the primordial Kek. However Nut does have a connection to a force often associated with darkness; death. Her son and grandson are death gods, but she is a friend and protector of the dead, who appealed to her as a child appeals to its mother. She's believed to draw the dead into her star-filled sky, and refresh them with food and wine. Overall Nut has a good relationship with [[DontFearTheReaper Death incarnations should they be righteous in their actions]]. She's fond of Death of the Endless, though made the initial mistake of treating her like a kid until realizing she was far older and more powerful than her. |
| 348 | ** Yes, she knows [[UnfortunateNames what some immature folks think of when they think of Nut]]. Her name was pronounced as "newt" or "noot", but that hasn't stopped jokes like saying the real reason Geb is frustrated is because he's doing No Nut November. [[PetTheDog Ouranos told her]] "oh, [[UranusIsShowing I've been there]]; you're name's not ''that'' awkward", only for her to reply "you stop caring [[NeverHeardThatOneBefore when you keep hearing it]]". [[HehHehYouSaidX I just wish Beavis and Butthead stopped]] acting like it's some new, funny thing". Her grandson Sobek disagrees and has said that there's more ways to make it funny, which didn't surprise her as one of his epithets is "[[ReallyGetsAround he who steals wives from their husbands]]". |

| 362 | * Source of Interest for: [[Pantheon/GamingStyles Robert Daly]] |
| 363 | * A young man wakes up in a room with no idea of how he got there or what the world is like around him. As he explores this strange world, he discovers that memories are stored inside chips and can be transferred to different bodies and that the rich live high above the clouds (and said clouds can erase the memories of those that cross it) while the poor live below these clouds. In truth, he is known as Kaiba, named after a memory-eating plant monster and befriended by Neiro before circumstances resulted in them being separated. To make things more complicated, Kaiba is actually Warp, a godlike entity responsible for the memory transfer that is standard in his world and that others, including faulty copies of himself, are trying to usurp his position and that Warp was originally an uncaring figure before encountering Neiro. It takes Neiro (whose true memories are stored inside a creature named Hyo-Hyo due to her current memories being tampered with) helping Kaiba understand his own past related to his mother that the true Warp (aka the person she named Kaiba) is able to move past his initial malevolent personality and defeat the plant monster that was threatening the world. |
| 364 | * Kaiba’s entry to the Pantheon happened thanks to some unusual events that resulted in him falling from the sky and landing on the Pantheon planet. When he was first discovered lying unconscious, the people present at the time decided to bring him to a building and wait for him to wake up. Unlike the initial instance of him waking up that resulted in him running through a strange world, he was given an explanation of what this even stranger Pantheon was after others learned of what his life was like. The wider Pantheon world had an even bigger variety of methods used to examine memories beyond the memory chips that Kaiba was familiar with and while not everyone in that setting uses such things, many Pantheonic denizens still had memory eggs inside of them if something happens to them. Kaiba had already gone through a lot regarding his memories and while the chaos of the Pantheon made it less likely for him to rest, there was a sense of closure regarding his personal issues that would allow him to be better ready to handle anything that heads his way. |
| 365 | * In some ways, Kaiba’s journey to understand the world around him after waking up in an isolated location has some similarities to what Klaymen went through. Both were also tied to a godlike figure, with Kaiba being said godlike figure after getting his memories back, and their main adversary was a corrupted clone of themselves (though Kaiba did have some degree of arrogance in his original Warp personality compared to the affable, but slightly dimwitted Klaymen, who only had a chance of being corrupted himself via Hoborg’s crown). The respective worlds that Kaiba and Klaymen explored are strange in their own ways and Klaymen was bewildered after learning about what Kaiba went through, especially since Kaiba was originally an uncaring ruler who softened up through his relationship with Neiro and later had to deal with others looking to usurp his rule for their own ends. In spite of the extensive amount of oddities between the two regarding their adventures (and Klaymen wondering if there was something missing in his Hall of Records regarding a Quarter that specializes in memories similar to Warp despite the latter saying that such a Quarter doesn’t exist), there’s no animosity between the two and they maintain a decent friendship with each other. |
| 366 | * Jonas was someone who had the title of Receiver, which would allow him access to transferable memories from the Giver which contained memories of pre-Community society. While hearing about people who could manipulate memories unnerved Jonas, the fact that there was someone who not only functioned as a King of Memories but could access memories from inside a person and was responsible for a world where memories are stored in chips that can be transferred to other bodies and that if someone doesn’t have a chip when they die, they release memory eggs that either end up in outer space or stored in tanks (in addition to the aforementioned looking inside someone’s memories part) came as a shock to him. Not only that, but Kaiba used to have an uncaring personality until meeting Neiro changed him for the better and while Kaiba’s change of heart did mitigate Jonas’ concerns about him, Jonas still can’t imagine what society would be like if it was ruled over by a malevolent king with great power over memories. On his end, Kaiba does have a curiosity towards a normal person tasked with watching over memories and is willing to keep Jonas safe from harm. While Jonas appreciates Kaiba’s help, hearing about another world where memories are handled very differently compared to others was a lot for Jonas to take in. |
| 367 | * While the memories of those from Kaiba’s world can be manipulated, there are plenty of individuals in the Pantheon who can alter various memories without the use of a memory chip. Shukuro Tsukishima was one such person with the power to alter memories to suit his needs and learning about memory chips and memory eggs that were prevalent in Kaiba’s world fascinated him. It isn’t entirely clear how such things would end up being of use to Shukuro’s plans in the Pantheon, but Kaiba does have the tools needed to go inside someone’s mind and see if something is wrong with any memories inside. In a more general sense, brainwashing someone can heavily impact memories and in spite of Kaiba being fairly powerful, he’s as much of a target as most others, if not moreso considering his association with memories, when it comes to someone wanting to alter the minds of others for something dangerous and it is possible that people like Shukuro want to use Kaiba himself for whatever plan they have. |
| 368 | * Kaiba learned about other methods of altering memories, with Stands (a supernatural being present in certain deities) being one such entity that can have such powers. Rohan Kishibe was one such deity with a Stand that can look inside people’s memories, specifically through the use of Heaven’s Door where in addition to writing commands on someone’s “pages”, he can alter these pages and even tear them off, affecting someone’s memories in the process. As someone looking for an interesting story to write and draw, Rohan was more than curious about someone who was described as the king of memories and while he was tempted to use Heaven’s Door on Kaiba, he learned about the memory chips, memory eggs, and various tools that originated from the latter’s world associated with accessing the memories of someone. Rohan would learn that if he uses Heaven’s Door on someone, then the memory chip or memory eggs belonging to that person can tell that their memories would be altered. Kaiba was someone who doesn’t get too heavily involved in major conflicts, but Rohan remained intrigued by the fact that there was someone heavily associated with memories and Kaiba’s role in making transferable memories the norm in his world gave Rohan some inspiration for additional stories. |
| 369 | ** While Kaiba at the very least doesn’t mind Rohan that much, Enrico Pucci was someone who Kaiba had plenty of concerns about, especially where controlling aspects of people are concerned. Whereas Rohan is an eccentric, but still relatively friendly individual who only uses his powers when things get dire, Pucci is able to use his Stand to extract Discs from people, affecting them in different ways (including affecting their memories) and despite putting up a friendly front, he has darker ambitions in mind. The fact that Pucci with his Stand at his most powerful was able to reset the universe via speeding up time alarmed Kaiba as it meant that it was possible for the memory chips and/or eggs present in individuals affected during such drastic shifts in time to be outright destroyed. It was one thing to literally remove memories from someone, but to alter the passage of time through drastic methods was something that could threaten Warp and his methods of memory storage as a whole. Pucci did notice that the memory chips and eggs that were discussed in the Pantheon had a bit in common with the Discs he can extract from others and considering how those chips might be used to figure out if he had any role in changing that person and that these chips can be accessed by multiple people, Pucci has modified his plans accordingly to prevent anyone from getting ahold of these items. |
| 370 | * Besides Kaiba, there were plenty of entities who suffered from amnesia in some capacity and went on a journey to figure out what’s going on. Of those characters, Mouse Fitzgerald was an amnesiac that Kaiba had to figure out a lot of since Fitz had repressed memories and was fighting against someone that wanted to control the world around them. Kaiba did have to fight against others looking to rule the world via overthrowing him, yet looking through Fitz’s memories only resulted in Kaiba finding a tangled web inside Fitz’s minds (and it’s likely that other deities have a similarly tangled web hiding other memories in them) and not much that could bring Fitz closer to the truth he’s seeking. Fitz noted that Kaiba could be someone who could understand a lot of the weirder events in the Pantheon and that the memory chips that are being mentioned could benefit someone depending on where they end up and surmises that things could get worse and that Kaiba will be in trouble, if someone dangerous gets ahold of specific memory chips. Despite Fitz’s cryptic wording, Kaiba has tried what he can to prevent the Pantheon from falling apart at the hands of some sort of force that is targeting Warp and his memory-based items. |
| 371 | * There were various clones of Warp who were made to rule in his absence should it happen, with some of the aged clones conspiring to overthrow Warp’s leadership position so that they could rule it themselves and a different clone who Kaiba ended up fighting against. As far as those officially designated as a clone of some sort in the Pantheon is concerned, Shadow the Hedgehog was someone who Kaiba was able to be friendly with. Shadow was created as a weapon by a race of malevolent aliens, only to find someone named Maria Robotnik who he cared about, losing her and later his memories, before recovering said memories so that he could fight against a dangerous villain. With Shadow continuing his adventures alongside his own group of friends, Shadow found it a little amusing that someone specialized in memories would end up losing memories of his own for a bit, but was still able to understand him considering the relatively similar circumstances despite Kaiba’s story being more confusing and strange at times. |
| 372 | * In his personal desire to punish anyone that wrongs him through the use of his own personal virtual reality, Robert Daly heard about Kaiba, the memory chips, and how said chips can be used to transfer someone’s memories onto someone else. While Daly is able to create copies of specific people through a single DNA sample somehow, these memory chips contain equally important aspects of an individual and Daly believes that getting access to tools that allow him to get ahold of these chips would make him even more powerful in the virtual world. Kaiba is justifiably disgusted to learn that someone would want to abuse important memory-related tools and items to live out a twisted fantasy to the point of wiping-out whatever humanity was left of victims of such. Daly actually getting to use these tools hasn’t happened yet, thanks to Kaiba and other powerful deities thwarting Daly’s efforts on a regular basis. |
| 373 | * Simply put, memory chips belonging to a particular person allow that person’s conscience to be put inside a different body. Kaiba would learn that the Pantheon featured different (and at times, direct) methods of taking over someone else’s body that would end with someone’s memory chip still inside their original bodies during the entire body-jacking process. The Lich was someone who can possess different bodies and considering that he intends to destroy the world around him, Kaiba is worried that The Lich could bring devastation on a much greater scale compared to the plant monster from back then and considering how much effort it would take to get rid of The Lich for good, it would require plenty of deities and not just Kaiba diving into the minds of others to figure out where The Lich would strike next. Kaiba being a king of memories comparable to a god has made him a target of the Chaos Kin, another entity that seeks the destruction of everything around itself and those who know Warp don’t want him to revert to a more destructive version of his original pre-Kaiba personality at the hands of the Chaos Kin. |
| 374 | * Warp was someone who could be described as an uncaring figure before being given the name Kaiba and becoming a better person through Neiro. When Kaiba was temporarily in his “Warp” personality while fighting against one of his clones, it was Neiro who helped him come to terms with his past to stop further devastation from occurring. Count Bleck, when he was once known as Lord Blumiere, fell in love with Timpani (later known as Tippi), only to turn to villainy before realizing at the end she was alive and and it was their love of each other that put an end to the destruction that was about to happen. Kaiba noticed some of the similarities between that duo’s relationship and his own relationship with Neiro and how one person from both ended up falling apart in different ways (Bleck turning to villainy and Neiro being used as a tool to fight Warp) before reconciling at the end. Like Count Bleck, Kaiba has been trying to be a good person in spite of his past actions, though Bleck and Tippi are willing to support him no matter what happens. |

| 396 | * Shin used to be the East Supreme Kai of Universe 7, a relatively young and peaceful Kai. However Majin Buu's awakening by Bibidi resulted in the destruction of thousands of worlds, Shin being the only Supreme Kai that survived. For five million years he has governed the universe as the sole Supreme Kai, approaching the Earth's protectors to try and stop Majin Buu's awakening. However he would prove surprised by [[UnderestimatingBadassery the Z-Fighters being a lot stronger than he'd think]], and realize how unprepared he was. |
| 397 | * With Universe 7 as the second-worst universe, he gets the reputation of [[GodIsInept an incompetent deity]]. While that's true in a number of respects, more nicer gods give him slack as the job was thrust upon him early and he remains IncompletelyTrained. He's quick to remind Beerus that he's just as responsible for his mishandling, possibly even more guilty since he's been around much longer. They do not get along, but [[CantLiveWithoutYou because one would die without the other]] [[TeethClenchedTeamwork they're forced to coexist]]. |
| 398 | * Him and God get along as the two are flawed but fundamentally good deities, though feels he could learn more from him than the other way around. The Flying Spaghetti Monster is sympathetic towards him because he can understand divine incompetence, having made mistakes like causing the Great Flood due to messing up making pasta. Shin finds him hard to take seriously but fun to be around and good bartender whenever he needs a drink. |
| 399 | * Has been trying to learn from the more experienced gods, in hopes of one day living up to the standards of the Supreme Kais governing universes with a higher average mortal level than 7. As such he looks to Highfather and Ra. With the former he is said to be everything a leader should [[DystopiaJustifiesTheMeans in stark contrast to]] [[Pantheon/{{Leadership}} Darkseid]], though he has grabbed the JerkassBall once in a while. With the latter it's because Ra's a competent TopGod and defender against monstrous forces like [[Pantheon/{{Reptiles}} Apophis]]. |
| 400 | * Completely livid with Zamasu in all his incarnations, infuriated he went against everything the Supreme Kais stand for and has gone so far as to call him ''worse'' than Frieza. Zamasu despises Shin because of how inactive he was, allowing the likes of Frieza to stay alive and permitting the sin of time travel in his universe. Trying to become a better god [[VillainHasAPoint he agrees he should be more active]], but that an inept god is infinitely more preferable to someone as monstrous as Zamasu. |
| 401 | * His contempt towards Zamasu is also expressed towards YHVH due to their similarities. The Great Will claims [[EvenEvilHasStandards He would never devolve into such omnicide]], but Shin pointed out He's very much like the disgraced Kai-both [[ItsAllAboutMe are dominated by ego]], both cannot stand any rival in power and both have caused untold destruction to reshape existence in their ideal image, [[TautologicalTemplar all while believing they cannot be at fault]]. [[BerserkButton The comparison utterly enraged YHVH]], and Shin would've suffered a FateWorseThanDeath at His hands had Beerus not come to his rescue. |
| 402 | * Because of Zamasu's mass slaughter of the gods he opposes Kratos, though admits he had better reasons and is at least trying to better himself. |
| 403 | * Serves as the God of Creation for Universe 7, though Old Kai being released from the Z-Sword changes this dynamic. As Universe 7 only has 28 planets with mortal life that he knows about, he has a lot of creative work to do. He has sought out the Life Entity to better get a grasp at creation, and the Spring Sprite for mending. Naturally he opposes the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfDestruction, as their unfettered desire [[OmnicidalManiac to destroy everything]] is against all he stands for. |
| 404 | * Due to his failures at trying to stop Majin Buu and being somewhat of a FailureHero himself, he is sympathetic towards Aichi Sendou. Kittan sympathizes with him for being thrust into a job he wasn't prepared to, as he's tried to fill the role of Kamina [[LeaderWannabe and has failed at that]]. |
| 405 | * He and Beerus have been organizing fighters [[Recap/DragonBallSuperUniverseSurvivalArc for the Tournament of Power]], showing [[TopGod the Zeno]] so frustrated by mishandled universes they plan to erase them with said tournament deciding who should be spared. Shin realize he really should've dealt with Frieza for bringing down the mortal level, [[spoiler:who's ironically their tenth team member]]. Universe 9 proves even more mishandled than Universe 7. [[spoiler:Though with it and everyone sans its angel being erased from existence, he's now at the bottom of the barrel. Both him [[EveryoneHasStandards and Beerus]] are horrified at the annihilation of entire universes.]] |
| 406 | ** [[spoiler:Was utterly relieved not only that Universe 7 won the Tournament in the end, but also that the champion Android 17 wished to restore the other erased universes. Especially when Zeno's Grand Minister revealed that were it not for this, the Omni-King would've erased everything.]] |
| 407 | * Had heard that someone else with his name existed in the Pantheon, particularly in the House of Pantheon/{{Villainy}}. When he finally met this other Shin he immediately detested him, sensing something evil about the blonde giant. This sentiment was confirmed as both founded and mutual when the blonde derisively wrote him off as a pacifistic weakling. |
| 408 | * Can also be found in the House of [[Pantheon/IntrovertFlaws Personality]]. |

| 426 | * Yato is an extremely minor deity lacking a shrine or followers. Originally, he was a God of Calamity who committed murders at the behest of his Father, the human who wished him into existence. However, Yato came to loathe the heinous things he did and renounced his role, becoming instead a delivery god who fulfills various requests for humans who call him. He charges 5 yen for every wish granted. Business is often slow for him and he has seen very little progress in hundreds of years, but still he keeps dreaming that one day he will become the most revered deity in Japan. Then, one day, an unusually perceptive human girl named Hiyori Iki found herself drawn into the hidden world of gods and spirits when she was hit by an incoming bus in an attempt to save Yato, a futile action given he's a god. Because of this, she became prone to falling asleep randomly, at which times her spirit leaves her body. Yato promised that someday he would find a way to restore her back to normal. In the meantime she bears witness to his adventures as he obtains a shinki in the rebellious yet loyal Yukine, enters into conflict with various gods, and tries to stop his reincarnated Father from causing trouble. |
| 427 | * When Yato received a missive proclaiming that he was invited to become a god in a so-called Trope Pantheon, he was completely beside himself with joy that he was finally getting the recognition he had craved all these years. Yukine and Hiyori were very reasonably suspicious of the whole thing, as they had never heard of a Trope Pantheon and pointed out that it sounded an awful lot like a weird cult, but they could not prevail on the foolish Yato to ignore the whole thing. So the gang went, whether they liked it or not, and discovered the Pantheon actually was the real deal. On the other hand, Yato discovered that accepting a position here actually in no way affected his standing among the gods of his world one way or the other and he would still have to work hard to be recognized there. '''Loser of the Gods''' is also not a terribly flattering title. Yukine and Hiyori thought this would make Yato forget the whole thing, only for Yato to disappoint them a little more by accepting the position, saying it was better than nothing. |
| 428 | * Much like in his home world, Yato spends his time in the Pantheon attending to the wishes of those who summon him. To do this, one simply has to call his cellphone; Yato has the habit of leaving his number in all sorts of places, like the wall of a bathroom stall for instance (being hard up for followers leaves a god with not a lot of dignity). The tasks he takes on are usually minor things like fixing bad plumbing or finding lost pets. More importantly, in his missions he often has to grapple with creatures called Phantoms, or ayakashi, which influence human behavior in negative ways (they are often the cause of bullying and suicides). Since he was born a War God, he is skilled in battle and can defeat Phantoms more or less easily, depending on how powerful it is. Yukine, as his shinki, turns into his weapon, a mighty sword that can cut anything it needs to, while sparing that which doesn't. |
| 429 | * Things being the way they are, it was only a matter of time until Yato ran into a certain human who happens to be very active in the problems of the spirit world. That human is Yusuke Urameshi, who was appointed Spirit Detective by the CelestialBureaucracy in exchange for coming back to life after he sacrificed his life to save a kid from a speeding car. Much like with Hiyori, this sacrifice turned out to be in vain once it turned out the kid wouldn't have been hurt at all either way, something that Yato relentlessly poked fun at him for and for putting himself in debt to heaven. Yusuke's response to this is that he feels sorry for Hiyori for having to put up with an obnoxious guy who drags his feet in fixing her problem. Deep down though, the two respect each other's strength and willingness to fight for what's right. Yato and Yusuke's personalities are bound to grate on each other's nerves, but ultimately they are willing to fight alongside each other to set things straight in the human and spirit worlds. |
| 430 | * Reimu Hakurei once phoned him to request his help in getting more donations for her shrine, something she has a lot of trouble doing on her own usually. Yato couldn't say he was all that enthused about effectively helping some other deity get donations, though given they are apparently an obscure god just like him, and seeing that this was very important to Reimu, he somewhat begrudgingly agreed to help, provided he got his own five yen donation of course. Yato basically spent that day debasing himself (not that that's new to him) in advertising for Reimu's shrine. It was a bit disappointing to her that this was the best a god like him could do, even if he's a stray. Even with that being the case, the shrine did get above average business that day thanks to Yato's crazy antics, and Yato and Reimu's mutual sympathy for their similar circumstances means they remain good friends to this day. |
| 431 | * Yato's very existence relies quite literally on becoming known and worshipped by as many living humans as possible, so it's understandable why he would act so outlandishly desperate and shameless in the pursuit of his goal, especially as the people who currently know him can be counted on one hand. It's something he has in common with Aqua, the water goddess who was dragged into Kazuma's party and is desperate to go back to heaven. That said, her constant and even more shameless demand for worship isn't so much because her existence depends on it, but because her ''powers'' do. The fact that she has it easier than Yato has not exactly endeared her to him, nor does the fact that they sometimes compete over worshippers, or that he finds her overall personality very disagreeable (which is ironic given Yato shares some other personality traits with her beyond the ones already mentioned, such as being lazy). They have taken to settling their differences through contests of arts and crafts, things both of them are surprisingly skilled at. |
| 432 | * In the Pantheon, Yato is able to meet even gods from cultures that haven't gotten a foothold in Japan, such as those from Greek myth. Because of this, he's been able to make pretty good friends with Zagreus, an obscure Greek deity whose lesser condition (he even lacked a domain) made him feel inferior and inadequate compared to his fellow gods. Zagreus also has a relationship with his father that is strained at the best of times, which is still better than the constant mind games between Yato and his own father. Zagreus ultimately found his calling as a PrisonEscapeArtist for the underworld, which Yato congratulated him for. Zagreus hopes that Yato can be an effective God of Fortune as well. |
| 433 | * Yato is familiar enough with Amaterasu, having already dealt with her a few times in his quest. She's an enigmatic figure whose appearances have been sparse and brief, so they don't really have a personal relationship. She represents heaven's will, which always considers itself righteous, and while she has aided Yato once or twice, she has also attempted to execute Yato and seal Yukine away for high treason before these allegations were proven incorrect. Based on these events, Yato can see no reason NOT to keep his distance from her in the Pantheon, though he's curious as to why she chooses to primarily manifest as a white wolf in this realm. |
| 434 | * Once made an excursion to Yomi to rescue the god Ebisu, which brought him to face to face with Izanami. This proved to be a trying encounter for Yato as she tried just about everything to trap him within her realm so he would stay with her forever. Having experienced this, Yato doesn't exactly feel any incentive to try to become better acquainted with her in the Pantheon, lest she try the same thing again. Even with everything that happened, though, he doesn't really consider her an enemy, since she's safely trapped in her realm of death with no hope of escaping. In fact, he considers her to be more pitiful than anything, seeing her attempts at making visitors stay with her forever as being born from her lonely existence down under. |
| 435 | * Yato has been known to say that everything a god does is the correct thing by default, meaning they are AboveGoodAndEvil. Most evidence points to him not truly buying into this, though. He's mostly likely sardonically commenting on the self-righteousness and lack of accountability among the gods. Yato is really not a fan of gods like YHVH, who is something of an amalgamation of all the worst tendencies Yato is subtly criticizing, being an egotistical deity that wants to kill off all who refuse to worship him and form a utopia exclusively inhabited by those who praise his name without question. YHVH doesn't like competition, which means he intends to dispose of Yato alongside all other gods at some point. As of now, Yato is too minor to give priority to, but YHVH doesn't discard the idea that this maverick deity might spell trouble for him down the line. |
| 436 | * Yato's shinki Yukine lived a short and tragic life, having been abused by his violent father. This treatment came to a head one night when Yukine was locked in a freezer, leading to his death from suffocation. Yukine's struggle to come to terms with his death and the fact that nobody helped him has led him down a dark path, leaving Yato to become a shinki for Yato's father, who further manipulated Yukine's feelings for his own purposes. Despite their frequent arguments, Yato loves Yukine as his own family, so he has some choice words for parents who beat their children or otherwise intentionally cause harm to them in any way. He hates every single one of the Child Abuse Supporters for this reason and would very much like to bring down some divine punishment on them, though he suspects they would not even consider changing their ways, so committed they are to them. |
| 437 | * Yato and Yukine's deep bond did not go unnoticed by other deities who have similar relationships with their own, sapient weapons, such as Maka Albarn and her scythe, embodied by Soul Evans. Ironically, Maka and Soul's dynamic is almost the complete inverse of Yato and Yukine, as Yato and Soul are the slackers in these teams, while Yukine is not quite the workaholic that Maka is, but is still much more responsible and down-to-earth compared to Yato and constantly berates him for not working harder towards his goal. There's also Mamori Tokonome and Mirei Tsukishima, who were infected with the Arms Virus, which is why Mamori turns into a sword and Mirei can wield her. Learning that Mamori needs to be sexually aroused to turn into a weapon was very... interesting to Yato, who would have very much liked to witness the process, only to get told off and punished by Yukine and Hiyori. |

When Sundowner asked what happened to Ares, Bandos simply told him that he kicked that sorry excuse of a war god out. |
| 463 | ** Ares denies this, stating that he simply moved out when he found a better temple. |
| 464 | *** It didn't take long for the two to wage war against each other. |
| 465 | * Some deities have questioned whether or not Bandos truly deserves his position as '''Representative Deity of JerkassGods''', viewing him more as a [[TheSocialDarwinist Social Darwinist]] as best shown in his philosophy. |
| 466 | --> "Strength is all. Not only do the fittest survive, but they are also rewarded - and they govern for as long as they can hold onto power." |

| 483 | * Thankfully for the Pantheon Guthix usually shows up to keep Bandos from causing to much trouble. He often just shows up to Bandos with simply a frown and shake of his head before temporarily banishing him to [[VoidBetweenTheWorlds the Void]]... again... and again. |

| 504 | * Opposed by: [[Pantheon/FireAndHeat Flame Princess]] |
| 505 | * Feared by: [[Pantheon/{{Fathers}} Homer Simpson]] |
| 506 | * Pities: [[Pantheon/{{Consumption}} Anthony Chu]] |
| 507 | * SCP-4338 is a sapient sphere of volcanic rock 2.3 cubic kilometers in size, living in the magma chamber under Moaha Island. Worshipped as a deity, the volcano god demanded appeasements from the natives. Refusing to give it its demands causes the God of the Burning Ocean to destroy civilizations and be devastating, but those times are long past. Now it demands junk food and has been reduced to begging the foundation for snacks. |
| 508 | * Far less of a threat than it is now, because even volcano deities get fat. It can barely do anything, and the extra energy of its new house only lets it make a new RemoteBody based off the last human leader it killed. Zamasu regards its state as absolutely pathetic, and depending on his mood either decries SCP-4338 as either the evil of divine indolence or an evil mortal pretending to be a god. [[DoNotTauntCthulhu It wasn't a good idea for the volcano to taunt Zamasu]] [[{{Hypocrite}} on his own inflated sense of importance]]. |
| 509 | * Most think [[LaserGuidedKarma SCP-4338 got what it deserved]] and should've watched its diet if it wanted to still be Keter-class. The volcano god simply moans in self-pity and wishes it could be like Zeus, [[KarmaHoudini still able to get away with things]]. Still 4338 [[PetTheDog isn't without a soft spot]], as it's come to pity Anthony Chu for all the terrible things he was forced to eat. This is mainly some bemoaning of how he was ruined by food, [[AssholeVictim though unlike Chu no-one's complaining]] |
| 510 | * Simply regard SCP-4338 as a lazy couch potato not worth their time, much to the God of the Burning Ocean's frustration. It would do something about it, but proved their point in being too fat and lethargic to do anything other than complain. This state of a couch potato is why he doesn't do anything to stop [[Pantheon/MesozoicBeasts Rodan]] from choosing his volcano's vents to hibernate. |
| 511 | * Demands the House of Pantheon/{{Food}} feed it. The SCP Foundation decided they could spend less resources getting sweets and fast food shipped to SCP-4338, even getting 4338 to pay for KFC from Colonel Sanders and bacon from Eli Bacon. He enjoys eating with or from a number of gods, but given 4338 [[JerkassGods is a dick]] they're mainly using it as a means of keeping him under control. |
| 512 | * Used to be feared, but now the only deity in the Trope Pantheon that seems to fear him as Homer Simpson. [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS11E15MissionaryImpossible He run afoul of a volcano during missionary work]], and only really escaped due to NegativeContinuity. Some think this was SCP-4338's work, but it's known that he's pestering Homer for his Lard Lad Donuts. People think Homer should just give him the donuts, but he argues [[Recap/TheSimpsonsS7E6TreehouseOfHorrorVI from past experience]] that wouldn't solve anything. |
| 513 | * Has attempted to harass Moana, what with her being in the general vicinity to the Oceanic cultures. She wasn't intimidated by SCP-4388. It has attempted to get back on track by [[spoiler:corrupting Te Fiti to Te Ka, wanting a volcanic god as his ally]], but all this accomplished was [[CurbStompBattle getting his caldera stomped]] by Maui. This got the attention of Kratos, who already is on bad terms with the general idea of gods and has nothing good to say about SCP-4338. |
| 514 | * Though Admiral Akainu sees SCP-4338 as useless and isn't interested in the volcano, the volcano is intrigued by his powers over magma and seems impressed by his use of the molten rock. SCP-4338 is also interested in Ragnaros, who in turn chides SCP-4338 for letting itself become lethargic and complacent. It does get along with Vulcan, mainly because of their shared dominion of vulcanism and LoserDeity status. |
| 515 | * Wants to get Flame Princess and the Flame Kingdom on its side, going so far as to propose a marriage. FP scoffs at the out of shape volcano god's attempts at an alliance and desire to stay relevant, and has turned SCP-4338 down at every opportunity. Unfortunately this brought the attention of Firelord Ozai, who is trying to encourage the volcanic deity to start losing weight and be more active, and in turn help his ambitions of domination. |
| 516 | * Likes chilling out with Beerus and the Flying Spaghetti Monster, the latter for his delicious pasta. While Beerus has a lot more dignity than SCP-4338, he's still rather [[BigEater gluttonous]] and lazy. [[Pantheon/TimeManipulation Whis]] has taken the fate of SCP-4338 as a lesson in not getting idle to teach Beerus. One of these outings had [[Pantheon/RidingAndControl the Racing Drones]], who have had experience with a volcano-themed track, investigate its volcano in search of [[MacGuffin an Accelecharger]]. |
