4'''The Hall of Bladed Weapons'''
5
6Upon the decisive splitting of the House of Weapons, this very Hall was one of those created. Here lie the realms of all Deities whose preferred weapons are known to slice through anything that can be thrown at them, even bladed ones that ''can be thrown'' at unsuspecting enemies. Known to be littered with slash marks.
7
8Because so many of the deities here wield some manner of swords, [[Pantheon/SwordsAndSabres a Hall designed especially for them was soon created]].

43* Wary of: [[Pantheon/{{Sizes}} SCP-169]]
44* Avoided by: All [[Pantheon/OnePiece Devil Fruit users]]
45* The middle son of Cronus and Rhea, Poseidon was one of five siblings Zeus rescued from the former's belly[[note]][[MultipleChoicePast or in one myth]] was also rescued by his mother[[/note]] and joined to fight the titans. Afterwards an agreement was made: Zeus would rule the skies and be the TopGod, Hades would lead the underworld and Poseidon would master the seas. Like the sea, Poseidon is a MoodSwinger and temperamental. The sea, its beasts and its monsters are not the only thing he has domain over; he's the a god of earthquakes and creator of horses. As Zeus hurls his thunderbolts and Hades uses a helmet of invisibility, Poseidon has his own signature weapon: the trident. In Mycenean Greece Poseidon, rather than Zeus, may have been the TopGod and he held chthonic elements that were possibly given to Hades in Hellenic Greece. Later on the Romans adapted him under the new name of Neptune.
46* Poseidon's relationship with both his family and the rest of Greek mythology is an often difficult affair. It's easier to start with his father and siblings; for old man Cronus he shares their outrage for his GodEating, and for big sister Hestia he agrees with the rest of the family she's awesome. With his younger brother Zeus, it's more strained due to his envy that Zeus' AlwaysSomeoneBetter. At one point he was part of an ill-planned coup with other gods, and at another [[VideoGame/AgeOfMythology he was so incensed]] he sided ''with the Titans'' for another. Zeus has ultimately forgiven him for giving his life to protect Olympus from the Titans and Kratos. His dynamic with the rest of his family also proves difficult.
47** He's an ally of Palutena and friends as he hopes to thwart the wicked machinations of the imposter they call Hades. For a time he was under the impression that the ''other'' Hades was yet another imposter, however he turned out to truly be his brother. As he explained, [[SuperpoweredEvilSide he has a "bad side"]] brought about [[EverybodyHatesHades by mortals seeing him as an evil god]] [[TheDreaded for his feared role in the underworld]]. Though somewhat aloof to each other [[RedOniBlueOni because of their opposite temperments]], the two get along better than with Zeus because there's no dick-measuring contest. Interestingly in the Mycenean Greece period Poseidon may have held a chthonic TopGod position not too different from Hades, meaning they may be closer to each other than they originally thought.
48** Though they will join forces if need be, him and his niece Athena have a clear rivalry over the city of Athens. The latter may be their patron god, but Poseidon has done his damndest to prove ''he'' should be the patron god. He doesn't get along any better with her brother Ares, as he was acquitted for killing one of his sons as Ares did so to protect his daughter from being raped/avenged her rape. Beyond that, the two tend to ignore each other.
49** Despises Odysseus for blinding his son Polyphemus, making his return home truly miserable. He was wise to not call the god "[[VideoGame/{{Smite}} Poolseidon]]" in spite, but he still '''hates''' Poseidon and believes [[MoralMyopia the god has no right to be angry]] as Polyphemus was blinded ''to avoid him and the rest of his crew from being eaten''. The only person spared the wrath of killing a kid of his was Hercules, who took out the giant Antares...possibly because the giant was technically ''his uncle'' as Gaea was Antaeus' mother. Had a good laugh at Fry [[SurpriseIncest semi-unknowingly]] [[MyOwnGrampa becoming his own grandfather]], [[HypocrisyNod while acknowledging what he did]]. As with her grandchildren whether Gaea tolerates them or wants revenge for past slights depends on her mood.
50** Despite his somewhat strained relationship with Hades, [[CoolUncle he really adores Hades' kid Zagreus]]. And [[ParentsAsPeople while not the perfect parent, he tries to be a good one]] for [[Literature/PercyJacksonAndTheOlympians Percy Jackson]]. He wasn't happy to see he left the Trope Pantheon and hopes he can return one day. Poseidon hopes his older kid ([[ExtraParentConception sort of]]) Theseus doesn't ascend, since even by Greek hero standards he's a {{Jerkass}}. And there's of course the fact that he and Zeus' demigod children were on the winning side in [=WWII=]. Which one/multiple? He's not saying, but rumor has it it's UsefulNotes/WinstonChurchill.
51** In a way, he created the Minotaur. When King Minos refused to sacrifice a bull to him because it was just too beautiful, Poseidon had his queen Pasiphe cursed to fall in love with the bull. She got the inventor Daedelus to build a wooden cow to lure the bull, [[BestialityIsDepraved and the sordid act created in the Minotaur]]. The beast is naturally ashamed and contemptous of his unnatural existence and would absolutely love to express his anger at Poseidon. [[UnknownRival The god of the seas doesn't even notice Prince Asterion]], and defends his actions by saying "hey, I made your mom fall in love with a bull. I wasn't the inventor that made your conception possible".
52** Just a small detail to note of his unascended extended family: Poseidon isn't the only and far from the first Greek LordOfTheOcean. Before he was born, the ocean was ruled by the Titans Oceanus and Tethys. Depending on the myth they're his parents-in-law, and they were one of the few Titans [[TeamSwitzerland who took no side in the Titanomachy]]. And before them there was the primordial embodiment of the ocean, Pontus, who's the ancestor of minor sea deities and many a sea monster. Poseidon himself is the father of a conch shell-wielding merman called Triton, another sea god. Less fun is his son Arion, a horse who can talk, who was sired by him forcing himself on Demeter while she was missing her daughter. [[OldShame He's not proud of it or having been]] an AbhorrentAdmirer and has been improving, but she understandably has a very hard time trusting him.
53* Poseidon is known as a very hot-blooded and tempermental god, however his time with his son Percy has shown [[TookALevelInKindness he has mellowed out over the centuries]]...one could argue ''Zeus'' fits the id nowadays than Poseidon. He's not exactly proud of his more [[DoubleStandardRapeDivineOnMortal unsavory pursuits]], though he defends what he did with Medusa: she and Creator/{{Ovid}} claim he raped her and it isn't an uncommon interpretation, however earlier stories say the sex in Athena's temple was consensual[[note]]admittedly this'd still make him thoughtless at best since he should know how Athena would react[[/note]], and some [[MultipleChoicePast say Medusa was always a gorgon]]. The thorny issue of consent is seen with how the SuperGenderBender gods don't know whether to condemn him for [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caeneus Caeneus]]; a Lapith hero who used to be a woman but after sleeping or being raped[[note]]again, according to Ovid[[/note]] had the wish to turn into an invincible man granted.
54* He has been taking his Roman form of Neptune more often, primarily when interacting with the denizens of Bikini Bottom as a merman. However he's still mercurial in his treatment of them, possibly because his Neptune form is frustrated at going bald. [[Recap/SpongeBobSquarePantsS1E19FoolsInAprilNeptunesSpatula That, and the fact that when he tried to get Spongebob to be his fry-cook only to prove he's crap at cooking patties, which is why he studied under him for a time]]. [[WesternAnimation/TheSpongeBobSquarePantsMovie Perhaps Plankton's most wicked scheme]] was to exploit this form's frustration at being bald by stealing his crown, sending it to the forbidden Shell City, and framing Mr Krabs as part of his TakeOverTheCity plan. He also tried to brainwash Neptune with a mind-control bucket helmet and would've succeeded were it not for the might of rock and roll. Needless to say Plankton's ass is grass, and so will the Cyclops diver after he's done with the plankton.
55* In the House of Pantheon/WaterAndMoisture, the wave moved when Poseidon first stepped into the Pantheon after his ascension. As the god of the ocean, he holds a domain within the House of Water and Moisture, even if he isn't a presiding member of the House. He's known for keeping a cage of sea monsters in his ocean home and known to send them on anyone that enraged him, especially the Kraken. [[PetMonstrosity Poseidon loves his sea monsters]]. As this includes Moby Dick and Monstro, along with his mastery of the seas and his tempermental nature, it's safe to say many sailors and sea-farers holds some fear of him. [[EveryoneHasStandards At the very least he doesn't treat SCP-169 as a pet]], due to being so ''absolutely colossal'' even he knows you don't mess with it unless you want floods across the continents from its sheer size.
56* There are some great sea creatures Poseidon is really fond of, and some he cannot stand. Despite sharing the great blue, the Kraekan are a force [[EveryoneHasStandards too gnarly for Poseidon]]. At least they don't ''pollute'' the ocean like Hexxus and Mr Burns would; despite being one of the more selfish gods, he wants a pristine sea and has chosen to work with Captain Planet to keep it that way. On the other hand, of the many sea creatures Lugia is one of his favorites due to being a mighty stormbringer and a LordOfTheOcean like Poseidon himself. The Greek god also holds an extra soft spot for Lagiarcus and Caedeus. And while he doesn't like Tamatoa persay, he does find the shiny giant crab [[LaughablyEvil an amusing sight]]. Just as long as he doesn't take any of his treasures, of course.
57* He is not the only mythical water deity in the Trope Pantheon. There's Sobek, an even more mercurial Egyptian god who's the patron of the Nile. Barring ego, they are perhaps too similar [[NoodleIncident and at some point a boast or a roast of each other led to conflict]]. Though rivals, [[FriendlyRivalry they have too much fun to really hate each other]]. The two have taken a liking to Steve Irwin, and not just because of his handling of animals; Poseidon's fondness for creating/commanding [[SeaMonster dangerous sea beasts]] has him appreciate Steve's empathy for animals like crocodiles. For similar reasons, he and Rubeus Hagrid tend to get along. Another FriendlyRivalry Poseidon has is with Susano'o, the arrogant storm god. Perhaps they can relate to each other's SiblingRivalry, or he was also banished for his bad behavior.
58* He's interested in the Norse thunder god, as Thor was also turned into a mortal for a time...though this was because of his hubris rather than a consquence of a failed rebellion. Another being his was interested in is King Triton: he's not the same as his son, but he is certainly pleased to see him running his undersea kingdom. A good word was given by a mortal LordOfTheOcean, though fortunately for Poseidon he did not have that rank out of hubris: Arthur Curry, or Aquaman. Poseidon has helped out him and Atlantis from time to time. He is also someone who's aided Wonder Woman, though [[MultipleChoicePast he can never]] [[ContinuitySnarl get their exact relation straight]]. His allies aren't strictly heroic either, as he has a working relationship with the Sea King and Ocean Master.
59* Though Poseidon is agreeable with some [[LordOfTheOcean ocean lords]], other great figures of the sea are not willing to play ball. And of course, Poseidon has had enough of playing second fiddle to Zeus. The dreaded Cthulhu doesn't seek to rule the oceans, but emerge from one when the stars are right to bring an end to the age of man. Poseidon considered the Great Old One an oversized octopus at first, only to be humiliated when the Lovecraftian super-star manhandled and threw him on the land. After a Rocky-style training montage, he returned to engage him in an epic battle, but even then needed distractions from Dagon to outright win and re-sink Cthulhu. [[UngratefulBastard He didn't thank Dagon for this]] as Dagon is more of a "political" rival due to being the god-father of the Deep Ones.
60* As a god, he can withstand the horrid, mummifying sight of Cthulhu's son. However dealing with Ghatanathoa speeds up Poseidon's dehydration and he has to regularly rehydrate himself by conjuring freshwater. Palutena and friends have encouraged him to be pro-active in dealing with the entity, instead of simply regarding Ghatanathoa as an extension of his rivalry with the Great Old One's dad, as they weren't happy with him being an AloofAlly [[OneShotCharacter who only helped with one chapter]]. Poseidon has regarded this as a mistake because he didn't treat "Hades" and his Underworld escapades with more contempt. That said, Poseidon is more misanthropic in this form as he sunk a city for its humans being too cruel and hubristic.
61* A less frightening rival of Poseidon is Namor the Sub-Mariner, which is prompted by Namor and Poseidon's ally Aquaman already being rivals. The two are well-aware [[HairTriggerTemper of their similarities]] and if anything [[WorthyOpponent that motivates them to prove they're better than each other]]. Another rival of Poseidon is Ulmo, the Valar LordOfTheOcean. Or more accurately, he ''was'' Poseidon's rival. The Greek sea god bit off more than he could chew [[CurbStompBattle learning the difference between a Greater God and an Overdeity]], [[DefeatMeansFriendship but after steaming for a bit admitted he really enjoyed their tussle]]. And he saw the advantage of [[RedOniBlueOni having a calmer sea deity work with his hot-headed self]]. The Valar managed to convince Poseidon that Melkor would prove a threat to the seas he governs too, [[AloofAlly though Poseidon sometimes]] [[AttentionDeficitOohShiny gets too distracted to help with that]].
62* Among Poseidon's role of the god of oceans, he is also the god of horses and one of his offspring is Pegasus, the winged horse. Pegasus himself is rather conflicted with Poseidon's "side" of the story and method of his birth, and most equine deities seem to not care about heeding his call, much to his frustration. Though he doesn't play favorites with the pantheon's horses, [[PetTheDog he has a real soft spot for them]]. Or those who are like horses, such as his half-brother Chiron. There is one horse-like deity he wants nothing to do with, however; the Nuckeleeve. [[OmnicidalManiac Three]] [[EvilIsVisceral guesses]] [[CompleteMonster why]]. Given the Nuckeleeve CannotCrossRunningWater, the monster can do nothing...however, it is considering recruiting the Flood to completely destroy Poseidon's domain via assimilation [[DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu and utterly ruin him]].
63* While Poseidon didn't create dolphins, he likes them even more as they can serve as his steed. True to his shifting mood he has give equals support to both Ecco and the Orca, [[HeroicDolphin despite their]] [[DeviousDolphins contrasting outlooks]]. He is also capable of creating earthquakes, hence his other name, Earth-Shaker. Earthshaker himself was rather flabbergasted that the god of the seas can also manipulate the earth and create earthquakes, even annoyed that he "copied" his title. Oh, and for those wondering, [[SadlyMythtaken no he's not a merman]]. He generally gets along with merfolk, being within their domain, but he isn't one [[VoluntaryShapeshifting unless he wants to]] or is trying to interact with Bikini Bottom. Again, that would be his son Triton.
64* The reason you don't hear his sexual exploits as much as his little brother is because he tends to bed sea-creatures, and not just the CuteMonsterGirl type. He's bisexual and once [[HomosexualReproduction had a kid with Nerites]], the only brother to the Nereids. Their child was Anteros, god of requited love. Poseidon thinks Rikuo is a sexy fishman and has tried to wine and dine him, but it's gone unrequited [[IncompatibleOrientation as Rikuo is straight]]. Not that [[EvenTheGuysWantHim he isn't proud of the attention]], and the god of the seas showed he can behave himself: impressed by him as a fish-man, he gave him blessings of power to use if need be as a sign of good faith.
65* No, him being interested in Chaos is not because him wanting to bone them. He's not picky, but as with other powerful water beings mentioned not everything is a booty call. Instead he was simply curious about how a mere Chao became a powerful water elemental, and their great capacity for wrath and flood. He was also curious about Caligula's "war on the seas", as he initially thought it was hilarious he took seashells as a trophy. However he was soon infuriated by Caligula's madness-induced hubris by him believing he defeated Neptune [[AGodAmI and was a divine figure in life]], leading to a smiting. The Greyjoys, rather than showing hubris, were intrigued by an actual sea deity and wonder if Poseidon has any connection to the Drowned God.
66* Of the Greek gods, Poseidon is the one absolutely no Devil Fruit user wants to antagonize. His may not be the worst wrath of his family, but [[LordOfTheOcean he is a walking, talking]] AchillesHeel. Naturally he was most amused that his Roman name is the namesake of a powerful ancient superweapon. There are gods more willing to lay a complaint: Guts once fought and slayed a sea god, for example. Another example is Jack Sparrow, who dealt with murderous mermaids and other nautical foes. As a mercurial sea god Poseidon isn't trusted by people like Guts and Jack, but he didn't cause or create their nautical foes so they don't consider him an enemy either.
67* Despite his temper Poseidon's non-villainous foes tend to be someone he has legitimate beef with like [[PapaWolf Odysseus]]. An exception to this is the Flying Spaghetti Monster; after accidentally spilling his pasta bowl, a hot flood fell from the sky and Poseidon got covered by half-cooked spaghetti and pasta sauce. [[DisproportionateRetribution Poseidon then proclaimed he would destroy the FSM and all he stands for]], and he sent an earthquake to the Hall of Piracy. Needless to say Poseidon isn't allowed back in that Hall. [[{{Hypocrite}} Zeus thought his brother was being pretty petty]], which Poseidon didn't even dignify with a response. [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder A mechanical version of himself]] only made things worse due to despising pirates (especially Francis Drake), who are lionized in Pastafarianism. However said Machine God version of Poseidon was being brainwashed by the Lostbelt Zeus for trying to thwart his even more despotic rule over humans. Given the stint he just pulled on the Hall of Piracy, he'd already burned every bridge with them anyway.
68* While his time with Percy Jackson has shown some maturity, Poseidon still has a dark side; the Bronze Saints know him as a villain who opposes mankind [[WellIntentionedExtremist because he felt they were destroying the planet]]. Ra's was pleased by this mindset and while he couldn't make friends with the sea god, they like to talk about their issues with people together. And [[Manga/RecordOfRagnarok in another universe]], [[AdaptationalVillainy his dark side is powerful]] as he has a pretty major DarkSecret: [[spoiler:Cronus had a ''fourth'' son with Rhea called Adamas. [[SiblingMurder Of whom Poseidon killed]] [[UnPerson and purged from all records]]. One can only wonder how Percy would react if he ever found this out]]. Even if this is but one incarnation of Poseidon, he's determined no-one learn about it.

93* Rank VIII in Organization XIII, Axel was the designated "[[TheFixer fixer]]", functioning to eliminate other Organization members once they become a liability, something with Vexen and Zexion found out the hard way. Despite this, Axel was not without his [[EvilVirtues good moments]], for he had established a [[TrueCompanions tender and heartwarming friendship]] with fellow members, Roxas and Xion, often hanging out on top of the Twilight Town Clock Tower once they were done with missions, though he would confront fellow member Saïx about his newfound friendship. Unfortunately, things went to hell once Xion realized her true nature as a replica, despite Axel trying to help out his friends, which came off as more detrimental than beneficial. Roxas quit the Organization, Xion died to ensure Sora and Roxas's survival in addition to being completely forgotten and Roxas would be captured and had his memories forcibly removed, all to ensure Sora would wake up from his year-long slumber. Axel would try to find Roxas and convince him to rejoin Organization XIII, failing to do so. After antagonizing Sora throughout his quest to stop the Organization from attaining Kingdom Hearts, Axel decided to sacrifice himself to save Sora, telling him to go save Kairi, who was kidnapped earlier by the Organization and had tried to oppose them for his own reasons.
94** Prior to Organization XIII, Axel was originally Lea, a resident of Radiant Garden who was caught up in the machinations of Master Xehanort. Additionally, the death of Axel led to the reconstruction of Lea, who dedicates his time in helping out Sora and his allies, eventually gaining his own Keyblade, Flame Liberator, and soon taking training sessions from Merlin. He would play a role in the [[VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII Second Keyblade War]], reuniting with Roxas and Xion putting an end to Master Xehanort's plans to use Kingdom Hearts for his goals. From there on, Lea was able to carry on with a normal life, even reuniting with Isa his childhood friend, and Saïx's complete self.
95* When Roxas joined the Pantheon, it wasn't long before Lea and Xion also tagged in, as Roxas specifically stated that he would only enter if he could bring along his own friends. The Pantheon decided to agree, given what the trio had been through before they got back together. That said, he noticed Sora's lack of absence, especially given that he was the one that proposed Roxas to enter the Pantheon prior to the Second Keyblade War. Only time will tell when Sora will fully come back.
96* With his ascension into the Pantheon, Lea ended up a rather popular figure around, thanks to his carefree and extroverted personality, not to mention his own knack of telling others whether they've "Got it Memorized" whenever he introduces himself. He's the most popular one out of his trio, consisting of Roxas and Xion, though that's mostly because Lea is the only one who could properly integrate himself socially with others[[note]]after all, he was a normal person once before he became Axel and was indoctrinated into the Organization[[/note]] whereas Roxas and Xion struggle to immerse themselves, especially after having had an isolated life due to their upbringing in Organization XIII. Despite this, Lea remained optimistic and hopeful enough to try to help Roxas and Xion in getting adjusted and their priority is to settle down and lead a normal life, even if the Pantheon is a wildly fantastical place. He's confident that his two friends can defend themselves as can himself and it helps that Lea has other friends, namely Sora and Kairi, that he can get help. So far, it seems as though the Pantheon has been a welcoming experience as Lea and his companions don't have to be roped into Xehanort's schemes there… for now.
97* Lea's signature weapon as his Nobody, Axel, was a pair of chakrams, and was additionally a user of pyrokinesis. These, in addition to his role as a fixer, made Axel one of the more dangerous and persistent members of Organization XIII, and since his reconstruction, Lea retains those abilities and skills with the addition of now having a Keyblade of his own, courtesy of being trained by Yen Sid. That said, since his turn to good and wanting to lead a decent and carefree life, Lea understandably doesn't want to serve a role in spying and assassinating others, though he will take on the role of a hero if the situation calls for it. Being a recent Keyblade wielder, Lea was amused at the irony of the idea of Roxas and Xion training him in swordplay, but he's also happy that his friends would repay the favor in return for Lea helping them socially and emotionally. He sometimes visits the Hall of Pantheon/SwordsAndSabres when he decides to train and hone his skill and potential as a swordfighter, figuring that while his chakrams are his signature weapon[[note]]technically as Axel, though Lea would frequently alternate between those and his Keyblade[[/note]], he still notes that he'll need a Keyblade to deal with the Heartless more effectively as well as stand a chance against stronger foes if he ever comes across them.
98* Given his time in Organization XIII as Axel, it stands to reason that Lea openly goes against large villainous organizations, especially those whose leaders either lie to their subordinates, treat them badly and with no concern for them, use them for their own ends, or all of them. Oddly enough, Lord Recluse doesn't fit either of those criteria, though he does kill his subordinates as a lesson for future villains to learn from their mistakes, but Lea affirms his stance for going against him regardless. On the contrary, Lord Recluse actually respects Lea's skill as an assassin and fighter and would have gladly considered recruiting him in Arachnos, but feels a bit disappointed that Lea would never align with him, feeling that he would have been easily swayed had he been Axel. Regardless, whenever Lord Recluse wants to deal with Lea, he personally enlists Captain Mako to fight him, feeling that pitting him against his own top assassin would be fitting, and Mako entertains the idea of proving his worth and deadliness. Lea takes this as an attack on him and his friends and is more than ready to fight back.
99* While not his definitive trait, Lea's affinity to fire does make him a common visitor in the Hall of Pantheon/FireAndHeat, seeing as he could freely practice there without the risk of harming others with his pyromancy and honing his skills as a Keyblade wielder. One of the visitors he came to be friends with was Scorpion, and Lea noted how much of an OddFriendship he established with him due to their extremely contrasting personalities. There was a commonality in that both of them were {{Wild Card}}s, working with both heroes and villains to achieve their own ends, though where Axel was driven by a desire to usurp Xemnas with Saïx before deciding to maintain his friendship with Roxas and Xion, albeit, through questionable and counterproductive means, Scorpion was purely motivated by revenge for the slaughter of his family and clan, though both would eventually come around and affirmingly become good. Scorpion respects Lea's dedication, skills, and power, even stating that in his current state, he has the heart of a Shirai Ryu. Lea, on the other hand, was surprised by Scorpion's compliment, though doesn't talk much about the clan topic, given he's since known Scorpion's past. They remain good friends since, with Scorpion promising to look after Roxas and Xion in the event Lea isn't around.
100* While Lea would rather forget his time as an assassin and double agent, some are still willing to recall his days as Axel and try to challenge his reputation either in a fight or how much he can take down. One of the most frequent challengers is simply known as The Spy, who has ''thrived'' on backstabbing anyone he allies with just for the lulz. Upon hearing of Axel's backstabs and his ambition to prove his tenacity, The Spy decided to fight him one day and see how well he would fare against Lea. Of course, Lea being more powerful and having an elemental affinity that he has great control over meant that The Spy had to take precautions in his fight. Lea was more annoyed and angered by the occasion, so he decided to end the fight quickly and use his ability to open dark corridors via his black cloak to dump The Spy to a random place and end the battle abruptly, much to the latter's frustration. Since then, The Spy wants to get back at Lea and insist that he's the better assassin, but Lea would rather hang out with friends and fight a good cause than remind himself of his past as Axel, let alone have a competition on who's the best assassin.
101* While proud to be a Keyblade wielder, Lea does sometimes lament the fact that there aren't many who wield ringed blades as weapons, much less chakrams, so he tends to be impressed whenever he finds someone who uses such. This was the case when he met Sun Shangxiang, as the two complimented their blades after a friendly spar. While the two became good friends, they also shared more similarities than they expected, with Lady Sun not only favoring fire as her element of choice but also having a difficult choice in deciding her loyalty due to her ArrangedMarriage to Liu Bei compromising her position in her family, the Wu Kingdom. While Lea would state that Lady Sun should try to appeal to the best of both sides, the truth is a lot more complicated on both sides and Lady Sun herself can be unsure of what to do in the situation. Regardless, Lea affirmed that, as a friend, he'll try to see what he can do to help and that he'll be there if Lady Sun needs him, which made her happy and see Lea as one of her better friends in the Pantheon due to his friendliness and optimism. On the other hand, Lea finds himself rather creeped out by Tira due to her manic and unstable personality creeping him out and knowing that she would be endangering others. Tira simply sees Lea as prey to hunt and convert into a Malfested for Soul Edge, though it's her making an implied threat to Roxas and Xion that made Lea really want to fight against her as he can't stomach the idea of his friends becoming crazed zombies, seeing it as a date worse than becoming a blank Nobody, which is saying something.
102* On the subject of loyalty, Lea heard about the tales of Darth Vader and actively feared the idea of meeting him due to the fearsome reputation that he had carved as a Sith Lord. Then one day, he did come face-to-face with the Sith Lord and while Lea remained hesitant, Vader didn't present any semblance of threat to him, despite their surroundings more-or-less silencing everyone else. However, Vader did notice Lea as a Keyblade wielder and told him that he didn't have to hide his weapon from him, regardless if he wanted to fight or not, though it was murmuring both his Nobody alias and real name that Lea was frightened, feeling that if he memorized who he was, Vader surely must have known about Roxas and Xion. Later on, Lea found out a bit about Vader's past as Anakin Skywalker and sympathized with him as he realized that he struggled with conflicting loyalty and his desires clashed greatly against his superiors, be it his time as a Jedi Knight or as a Sith Lord, though Lea personally prefers to keep his distance as he figured that Vader was not one he wanted to anger. All things considered, Vader is rather mellow in his thoughts on Lea and credits him for at least finding an ounce of happiness, something that he struggles with constantly, even in the Pantheon.
103** Further into loyalty and conflicting perspectives, Lea was surprised to learn that others had dealt with it in more severe terms compared to his, as demonstrated with Vader. Among others was Sasuke, the sole survivor of the Uchiha Clan who found himself having different allegiances with the goal of revenge, having abandoned his friends in favor of power and going around a loop of hate and revenge before being knocked out of it by [[Pantheon/DreadAndValor Naruto]]. There was the relationship between [=2B=] and her companion, [=9S=], which ended up serving as a catalyst for a budding growth of emotion on the former's part, which compromised her thought design and her becoming more aware of the truth regarding [=YoRHa=], which culminated in [=2B=] being forced to put down [=9S=], which affected her deeply to the point of wanting to bring him back. Needless to say, Lea found it rather hard to get into their tales and made an effort to reach out to them with Sora and Kairi's help. He got to befriend [=2B=] and [=9S=] after a few tries, but Sasuke proved to be rather elusive, preferring to keep a distance from others in his newfound role as a protector from the shadows, though he does see that Lea has made good company and wishes that his past relationship with Team 7 was a bit more like Lea's with Roxas and Xion's.
104* Lea became good friends with Zuko and Iron when the three of them met each other in the Hall of Fire and Heat and Lea and Zuko expressed a desire to challenge each other in their pyromaniac skills. Of course, Lea wanted to befriend Zuko and Iron due to seeing them as cool and even heartwarming upon learning that the duo were nephew and uncle. In turn, Zuko came to respect Lea's hospitable nature and a willingness to not just prove himself, but also look out for others. That said, Lea was reluctant of telling them of his time as Axel, but Iroh reprimanded him that he should I stead look at his past as a way to improve his present self and cherish as much time as he has for his loved ones, speaking from experience via the death of his son. Lea also came to learn of Ozai and was taken aback by his cruelty and ego, likening him to Xemnas in a few regards and understanding why Zuko felt so burdened by his desire to become Fire Lord and challenging his father's desire. Of course, Lea believes Zuko made the right decision by giving up on Ozai's approval and defining himself, which he saw as an even cooler thing to do, much to Zuko's amusement.
105* Much like his best friends as well as Sora and his closest companions, it's not surprising that Lea is a recurring deity in the House of Pantheon/FriendshipAndCamaraderie, and the fact that Kairi is a guardian representative of said House is a bonus for Lea spending a lot of time there, seeing it as an additional home for him and his friends. His desire for others to memorize him had him encounter Gentaro Kisaragi, who similarly had a desire to befriend anyone he tended to encounter, so it wasn't a shock when the two quickly became fast friends, commenting on their enthusiastic nature, looking after their close ones and a strong drive to defend others if possible. Gentaro introducing Lea to the Kamen Rider Club further endeared the latter, even bringing along Roxas and Xion on later meetups as a way to bolster the number of good memories they can make, not to mention the three of them can align with Gentaro and their friends when it comes fighting against threats, something that the Kamen Rider was happy to tag along on.
106* Lea's hotheaded and extremely extroverted attitude would somehow catch the attention of Katsuki Bakugo, an up-and-coming hero with the ability to create and generate explosions who also had a larger-than-life personality, though it was one with a short temper and a tendency to lash out on others as well as being defiant. While both of them noted each other's boisterous nature, they actually found each other to be a pain to hang out with; Lea could barely tolerate Bakugo often making an ass out of himself and others whereas Bakugo finds Lea's witty remarks and his {{catchphrase}} repetitive and annoying. As a result, the two end up arguing and complaining against each other as much as they do fighting their enemies if they're ever in the same spot, much to the chagrin of anyone around them. If there is a consolation, Lea and Bakugo do admit that they are strong and capable fighters when on the field, and they can respect each others' dedication to what they believe in and fight for. Still doesn't change the fact that they'd complain and butt heads either way.
107* Having considered the idea of one day usurping an organization for his own benefits, Lea personally doesn't think about it much, now that he's gotten his friends back and is more comfortable as a hero. Still, it didn't stop the Decepticon Lieutenant, Starscream from constantly making remarks on the idea, clearly knowing that Lea, as Axel back on that moment, and Saïx had no chance fighting against Xemnas, but otherwise finds the idea of Lea wanting to be memorized as irritable and not exactly a way to be making friends, though Starscream himself is no stranger to barely having allies either, what with his constant attempts to overtake [[Pantheon/WeaponizedAppendages Megatron]] and become the Deception Leader for his own glory. Of course, the two dislike one another, but they usually don't interfere with each other due to their differing stances and desired outlook in the Pantheon, not to mention Lea wants no involvement in fighting the Decepticons, though Starscream does enjoy the idea of attacking Lea and his friends for petty amusement.
108** Despite his friendly and accommodating personality, not everyone has forgotten about Axel's time as a toxic friend, something that Lea has done his hardest to rectify. While he's comfortable with learning that most are willing to accept his change, Mikazuki Augus and Orga Isuka are harder to deal with as not only do they concern themselves too much with Lea's presence but Lea himself is surprised to see how toxic Mika and Orga's partnership and friendship is, which included a good deal of goading on Orga's part as well as Mika pushing Orga into becoming more unscrupulous in his efforts to defeat their enemies and serving the Tekkadan. Though they succeeded in their goals, albeit at the cost of their lives, Mika and Orga's complicated relationship is what led to their deaths, though Mika had since come to see that pushing past Orga's limit via his own influences was too costly, and felt uncomfortable about it. The full circumstances on the matter were pitiful and maybe Mika and Orga have since gotten a bit nicer, but Lea prefers to keep some distance, feeling that they remind him too much of himself as Axel.

127* Admired by: [[Pantheon/{{School}} Batsu Ichimonji]]
128* Hiryu is a Strider, a highly-trained ninja-like {{Super Soldier}}. He is one of the few ninjas who can [[HighlyVisibleNinja run straight into]] a group of trained soldiers with firearms ''and survive without a scratch''. Mainly because of his Falchion, a plasma "cypher" that can cut through anything like butter. All while making a lot of sound. [[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound SWHING!]]
129** To his surprise, he has gained a massive following. Aside from being a badass ninja, his famous sounds have inspired many across multiple worlds to to the same. Though Strider is quick to point out to his followers not to overdo it, citing many cases where weapons sing even with the smallest of movements.
130* Was considered to be the new God of {{Ninja}}s after [[spoiler:[[WebAnimation/DeathBattle he managed to defeat the current owner of the title]]]]. Ultimately, the idea fell through, but Hiryu held no hard feelings towards it or Ryu. In fact, it was Ryu that helped find a title for his former high priest, respecting him as a WorthyOpponent.
131** Some also say that Hiryu would have also ascended for ScarfOfAsskicking, but the dual Riders beat him for that. Though again, he doesn't seem to really care for it.
132* [[TheQuietOne He really rarely talks]]. But when he does, they say that he [[Creator/YujiUeda sort of sounds like]] [[WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003 Donatello]] or a [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Greninja]]/[[VideoGame/SuperSmashBros Gekkouga]].
133* There was one time when he was send to defeat Miyabi for reasons he didn't know at the time. Miyabi herself took Hiryu as a challenge, wanting to test his Falchion against her Seven-Pronged Sword. While Hiryu defeated Miyabi in the end, he quickly found out that it was a trick by GUAE to get rid of her. As such, he refused to kill her, and the two have mutual respect of each other.
134* Is really close allies with Raiden not only because both are ninjas with really sharp blades but for another aspect; Hiryu ''hates'' innocent people being used for experiments and easily discarded masses, ''especially'' children. If he finds you doing any of those things, then hope that he merely slices you in half.
135* [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom Has been]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom2 involved in]] [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom multiple]] [[VideoGame/MarvelVsCapcom3 world]] [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone mergings]], though he was bit late on one of them. Still was a great occasion as he was one of the most dearly missed omissions in the initial game.
136** No one was more excited for his return than Maximillian, citing Strider as one of his favorite characters as well as one of the Pantheon's greatest advocates for his ascension. He's currently trying to get his team of Strider, Doctor Doom and Wesker together, with poor results. The three gods despise each other and would rather not work together, although Doom does admit he and Strider were a formidable team, especially in the [[VideoGame/{{MarvelVsCapcom2}} previous game]].
137** Has a rather rocky relationship with Wolverine despite the fact that the latter has a famous audible sound of his own. It's most likely due to the fact that Wolverine has an unfavorable relationship with ninjas in general.
138** Dante entered his temple one day, offering a box of pizza as a gift. That's because Strider's seen as the only cause of the sounds of Rebellion, Dante's sword in Devil May Cry. ''It doesn't even have a sheath.'' The high-tech mercenary quietly accepted the gift, becoming close allies afterwards. The same cannot be said with Vergil, though the two respect each other for similar styles. The battles the two have usually end in stalemates.
139** When Crimson Viper learned of his ascension, she quickly retreated to her temple and made many new safety precautions against ninjas. It's safe to say that she' frighten that the myth has finally attained godhood. Strider himself dismisses her, claiming she uses her technology as a clutch instead as a tool to fight.
140** Ghost Rider was amused when Strider had the ''gall'' to not only to challenge him, but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6ZQNI6Vyis calling him the prey.]] However, many gods assumed that Strider merely wants to lift some of the burden of judging the guilty, feeling pity over a many who was tricked into his current role.
141* Many gods hope to improve the sharpness of their blades and have turned to Strider for help. Strider ultimately decided to help Luke Skywalker's lightsabers as well as taking paid missions to thwart the Empire, drawing the ire of Palpatine.
142* Respects the Marked Ninja's emphasize in stealth instead of combat. The two can agree that a shared mission simply won't work, as any use of Strider's blade would alert their position. If there is any sort of cooperation between the two, it would be on separate missions.
143* Respects the The Black Mamba's reputation as a revered assassin. The two would have certainly been rivals if she was still in the business but now pay each other tribute from time to time. Beatrix does it for how her blade sounds whenever she unsheathes her samurai sword.
144* Has denounced the Kurgan, both as a brute without any sense of code and for horrible use of audible blades.
145* Gave his blessings to Link for the famous ''shhhwing'' whenever he performs the Spin Attack, going back to his first game. Don't expect the two to converse though; Link is the God of Silent Protagonists after all, which suits well for Strider.
146* Batsu, being his long-time fan, is surprised to see him in the Pantheon.
147* ''"Unless you're a target of mine, you will never see me. If you see me, then it's already too late."''

172* Maka was originally supposed to ascend alone due to her mastery of her scythe. However, Soul could not be left out, because he ''is'' her scythe.
173* Maka can often be found in the House of Knowledge reading up on different universes.
174* Maka has on occasion sung the Excalibur song, or at least hummed it, which irritates Soul to no end.
175* She also speaks with Crona quite a bit and has struck up a friendship with Pit, who is a little jealous at her ability to fly with Soul's help. She sometimes tries to help him fly, with him usually crashing.
176* Soul is usually hanging around Black Star and Death the Kid, but has recently begun talking to Artoria as both have served as their respective ally's "weapon" in battle.
177* As Soul uses the piano in his soul as a weapon, some wondered if he should have a place in the House of Music as the new God of Pianos, but he respectfully declined the position, claiming his playing wasn't good enough to qualify.
178* Soul has been the subject of several seduction attempts on the part of the Aensland sisters. He ends up getting massive nosebleeds every time. Fortunately, Maka always stops them, but unfortunately, he ends up on the receiving end of a Maka Chop every time.
179* They can sometimes be seen together, even holding hands. They deny any implications that they're [[SheIsNotMyGirlfriend boyfriend and girlfriend]]. EveryoneCanSeeIt though.
180** Any further pressing has resulted in one or the other quoting [[WordOfGod their creator's words]] on how their relationship isn't much different compared to a normal meister and weapon, though whether anyone believes that is another topic.
181* Rumors has it that Maka has once been seen with Edward Elric, who flexed his automail muscles.
182* Due to Airi's soul-draining ways, Maka and Soul have crossed blades with her a few times. It should be noted, however, that there is a level of grudging respect between them, as the two of them realize that should Airi stop draining souls altogether, she'll fade away, making her actions a little more understandable than that of the average Kishin. Airi herself admires their teamwork, and admits Maka's ability to wield a scythe is outstanding.
183** They also have a rivalry with Ruby Rose, one of their former followers, though it's of a far more friendly type. They currently have a bit of a competition on who can use a scythe better, and they genuinely enjoyed each other's company. Though Soul's been slightly worried ever since Maka took interest in how Ruby's scythe is also a [[SniperRifle gun]]...
184* Maka has recently had to correct a long-standing theory on her mother's name being Kami. It turns out it was a translation error (basically, Spirit was referring to the woman as his ex-wife). This cause a bit of a stir as the supposedly only bit of definitive information on her was now false.
185** Maka has become uncomfortable with discussing her mother in general recently. She's even admitted that [[AdaptationDeviation she is unsure on how her mother actually is as a person and how she's actually doing]]. This has become a larger issue since she hasn't appeared during any of the crises in their universe. When Maka tried to rationalize her mother's lack of presence due to her avoiding Spirit, she was reminded that her father is willing to work with Stein (despite the latter's experiments on the former for the five years of their partnership that led to their fallout and led to Spirit meeting his future wife) and even managed to repair their friendship. Then when [[spoiler:Shibusen allied with the ''Witches'' to stop Asura and even ended their bitter centuries-long feud]], Maka was forced to admit that her mother really had no excuse for this. Since then, she's become tight-lipped and melancholic whenever she thinks about the implications.
186** Soul eventually intervened and told the questioners that it wasn't cool they kept bringing it up since Maka is uncomfortable about the implications. However, he has promised to deliver a definitive answer should their superior ever reveal it. As of right now, people have ceased questioning Maka about her mother though many note that since then, she's become more amicable and openly nicer with her father, Spirit (especially since he would've died along with several other comrades in the final battle, if not for the timely intervention of Mabaa, the Witch Queen).

206* Enemies: [[Pantheon/HairStyles Juri Han]], [[Pantheon/SupportPowers Sadira]]
207* OddFriendship: with [[Pantheon/{{Anger}} Hisako]]
208* Ascended to the Pantheon at the recommendation of Ryu Hayabusa when the Main House was looking for a protector to guard the House of Treasures. That and she was trained by Hayabusa himself.
209* Momiji had aspirations to become a kunoichi, while her elder sister, Kureha, served as the Shrine Maiden of the Hayabusa Clan. However, she was slain by Doku, which left Momiji to take over. This, however, does not stop Momiji from becoming a powerful warrior in her own right.
210* The first of her two signature weapons is the ''Tenryuu Naginata'', or the Heavenly Dragon Naginata. Like the Dragon Sword, the naginata's blade was carved from the tailbone of a dragon. The Naginata is a 'shizuka' type naginata weapon used by the Dragon Shrine Maidens, and as Momiji can tell you, the weapon is pretty damn light, flexible, and powerful, allowing attacks that are impossible for a normal naginata to perform.
211** Her skills with the Naginata has attracted the attention of both Oberyn Martell and Billy Kane. But it's her rivalry with Takeda Takahashi and Blake Belladonna that really gets her blood pumping...and depending on where the fight takes place, either Momiji or Blake's temple is riddled with bullet holes, various slashes and scorch marks.
212* The second weapon Momiji wields is the Heavensong Bow, and is traditionally carried by the Dragon Shrine Maidens. Carved from the wood of a sacred tree, the Heavensong Bow is used in what is know as the 'Heavensong Rite,' in which the shrine maidens-in-training pluck the bowstring like a music instrument to drive away evil spirits, and the power of the arrows launched by is is for lack of a better term, insane.
213** Momiji also spends time at the Ranged And Explosive Weapons given her love for archery. A friendly rivalry has formed between her and Kung Jin, while she has formed a friendly rivalry with both Hawkeye and Green Arrow.
214* Somehow, she, like Kasumi and Hayabusa, [[VideoGame/WarriorsOrochi finds herself in Feudal Japan]], where she met other famous heroes of the past such as Joan of Arc and Achilles. She did manage to return back home.
215* Whenever she speaks English, she tends to get weird looks from certain deities, [[Creator/KateHiggins as she sounds similar to]] some of the other deities, such as Toph Beifong and Sailor Mercury.
216** She gets even more weirder looks from the Japanese-speaking deities, especially from the deified House of Son, [[Creator/YukoMinaguchi as she sounds]] like Pan...and Videl.
217* Maya Fallenegros has scouted Momiji for membership with the Night Hand. Momiji refused, citing her responsibilities as the Shrine Maiden to the Hayabusa Clan. Momiji did say that if Maya needed help, then she would aid her in any way she can.
218* Most guys think that if you disarm Momiji, then she is defenseless. Guess again. Those who try to fight her hand-to-hand discover a bit too late that she was not only trained by the aforementioned Ninjitsu God himself, but that her signature ninpo, the Art of the Crimson Lotus, hurts like crap.
219* Saito no Musashibo Benkei didn't think too highly of Momiji at first. That changed when he found out that she was Hayabusa's former pupil in the ninja arts. Now Benkei is curious about the deified shrine maiden. He is now waiting, biding his time, until the perfect opportunity comes to challenge het.
220* Frank West is now working on a '''PERFECT EROTICA''' photospread, only this time, he's doing various kunoichi. Momiji, Ayane and Kasumi top that list.
221* Momiji has a soft spot for children. Threatening and[=/=]or harming any children is her BerserkButton.
222* How is Momiji friends with Hisako, you may ask? Both had experienced tragedies in their lives, with Hisako's being lethal, and both are masters of the Naginata. For Hisako, Momiji's presence is soothing for her tortured soul.

241* Complicated Relationships: [[Pantheon/OtherCreatures Achilles]]
242* Pyrrha Nikos was once a famous Huntress hailing from the region of Mistral in the World of Remnant, where she was known as one of the best students that attended Beacon. Her ascension happened no longer after her leader, Jaune Arc, ascended as well, and she was given the title of the Goddess of Javelins.
243** However, there was a period of time that Pyrrha went missing from her temple and the rest of her friends weren't around to answer what happened to her. As it turns out, [[spoiler:she was killed during the Grimm invasion in the Vytal Tournament while fighting a woman named Cinder Fall. Luckily, she recovered in the House of Pantheon/LifeAndVitality but she was too scarred emotionally to talk about what happened to her]].
244* The first few days after her ascension, many noticed that she might have a crush on his partner Jaune Arc but Pyrrha has denied it so far, [[EveryoneCanSeeIt Even though everyone knows she is lying]]. She however knows that one day she might get the chance to be someone special for him.
245** [[spoiler:Sadly, given the events that led to her death in her universe, Pyrrha has been trying to avoid seeing Jaune face-to-face. She has stated that they indeed [[LastKiss shared a kiss in the last moments they were together]] but she decided to not break his heart anymore if he sees her here. Her feelings for him are the same but for what is worth, [[IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy she would prefer if Jaune moves on and is happy without her]]]]
246* Her semblance is Polarity, which gives her the ability to control any metal around her. That ability caught the attention of Magneto himself and the mutant was very impressed with Pyrrha's powers. Nevertheless they both considered worthy opponents.
247** Another one who also challenger her was the Cyborg Monsoon, who was very interesting to learn about Pyrrha more thoroughly. Their battle was very even but monsoon decided to drop the fight after a while and declared himself her rival ever since. [[spoiler:Given her fate after the Grimm invasion in vale, Monsoon has gained even more interest on the Huntress given her Philosopy on destiny and to learn more of her Heroic Selflessness. She also understand how scarred she is, given that he too died in his home verse]]
248* Since so many people has some trouble spelling her name, many started calling her [[Blog/RWBYRecaps P-money]]. She actually doesn't mind being called like that.
249** Other has also started calling her [[FanNickname Captain Canada]], given how she uses her shield and because she is a really {{Nice|Girl}} person.
250* She also made friends with other redheaded heroines that are also very strong warriors, like Erza Scarlet. She often joins Erza for training in the House of Pantheon/FightingAndCombat.
251** Another redhead she befriended was Stella Vermillion for being a world-wide famous fighter just like her and even they both have sparred occasionally. Stella also helped her slowly open up to her Teammate Jaune and encouraged her to confess her feelings just like she did with Ikki. [[spoiler:This gave Pyrrha enough will to [[LastKiss kiss Jaune one time]] before never seeing him again. Stella has tried to console the broken down Pyrrha after hearing such story]]
252* Often been compared to Kanade Amou, for being both Redheaded heroines who happen to be {{The Ace}}s of their respective teams. Their relationship also goes deeper, [[spoiler:given that both turned to ashes after their respective deaths. While Pyrrha knew of Kanade's story and even was friends with her, she became much closer friends after having experienced a similar situation]]
253* As a lancer, Pyrrha was jokingly told that she would [[MemeticMutation suffer]] like the others. [[spoiler:They were eventually right, as she almost becoming the Fall maiden and having experienced death did leave her in a broken down state]]
254** Trollkaiger once dedicated her the song "You Give Love a Bad Name" by Music/BonJovi, which she didn't found funny at all. Apparently, [[spoiler:It has to do with her demise. (And Cinder's to blame)]]
255* Unlike her teammates who get along quite well with their Genderbent inspirations and counterparts, Pyrrha is unease around Achilles. While she acknowledges him as a supremely skilled warrior, his general attitude is off putting. Plus, she hasn't forgiven him for what he did to Jaune when contacted him by mistake. However, when Achilles heard that [[spoiler:Pyrrha also suffered a similar fate like he did, she started to warm up to her.]]
256* There was a time where she went into a period of mourning, along with the rest of people of her world. When asked, she would only say, "[[Creator/MontyOum A very important person to all of us]] has [[DiedDuringProduction passed on]]." Thankfully, she was glad to see said person [[Pantheon/{{Workmanship}} ascended]].
257* Given her celebrity status back in remnant, she became a mascot of cereal brand called "Pumpkin's Pete". She says that it was a fun experience but stated that the cereal isn't very good for your health. Still, the endorsement led to the House of Food being perpetually stocked with [[https://twitter.com/The_JenBrown/status/925183850678050817 Pumpkin Pete's]].
258** That's why she befriended fellow mascot John Cena and he has been teaching her a few of his moves so she can use them in combat.
259* There was one time where she was confronted by a Fishwoman creature by the name of Undyne after hearing that Pyrrha was an extraordinary fighter and challenged her to a battle. The match ended up being a draw and Pyrrha was very impressed with Undyne's resolve and eagerness to keep fighting. They became {{Friendly Rival}}s since then and occasionally spars with her whenever she has time.
260** They dropped their rivalry and got to know each other better after a while. What surprised both women was that they had a lot similarities like being two Redheaded Warriors who were pretty famous among their peers and they both are very Heroic people. Undyne even gave her a hug after hearing [[spoiler:how Pyrrha battled against Cinder Fall in spite of losing in the end. Undyne on her part says that she would have done the same thing if she was on Pyrrha's place (Which given their nature of her world's timelines, she is not lying at all if the fabled "Undyne the Undying is to go by)]]
261** She also often joins her with Papyrus' training. She's been enjoying training the skeleton because it reminds it of the time she trained Jaune to become a better fighter, [[spoiler:(Which she sadly can't do anymore)]]. She also has taken a liking to Papyrus after he referred to her as a cuter and nicer Undyne, which made her blush.
262* Has a very strained relationship with [[Pantheon/TaintedFriendship Felix]] after he threatened to shoot Jaune and because she didn't like how Felix sounds exactly as Jaune. Felix doesn't like Pyrrha either, being reminded too much of agent Carolina and also threatened to shoot her and Ruby in the face.
263** With the exception of Felix and [[Pantheon/DigitalPersonas The Meta]] - who really doesn't like anyone - the other ''Pantheon/RedVsBlue'' deities have a good relationship with her, [[Creator/RoosterTeeth shared background]] and whatnot. [[Pantheon/TheatricConvention Sister]] says Pyrrha's hot, [[Pantheon/{{Destinies}} Tex]] relates to her suffering, [[Pantheon/MannersOfRevival Epsilon]] says she's one of the best warriors he's met since Carolina... Pyrrha only doesn't understand why upon finding Grif, Tucker and Caboose in the House of Music's practice hall, they instantly ran away.
264** After hearing much about Carolina, the Freelancer's ascension made Pyrrha finally meet her. She was downright spooked at how Carolina is a version of herself in a PoweredArmor, but Pyrrha bonded with her easily and both have sparred on occasion.
265* Out of everyone ascended who comes from her universe, there was only one who could relate to Pyrrha's situation and that was surprisingly, Roman Torchwick. They are both still enemies but he has also expressed surprise that [[spoiler:he wasn't the only one to get killed in the invasion of Beacon]].
266* Of all her friends, only Ruby approached to her and they both had a private talk about their situation. [[spoiler:She says that Jaune was really devastated after he found out about her death and Ruby stated that she joined the rest of JNPR to search answers on Mistral, where Pyrrha happens to be from. She only wished Ruby good luck and asked her to look after Jaune in her absence.]]
267* [[spoiler:She's conflicted on her views towards Cinderella. On one hand, she's a version of Cinder Fall, the woman who killed her, and is a Princess of Heart, a maiden who holds special powers to unlock great evil when in the wrong hands, similar to how Cinder is the current Fall Maiden. On the other hand, Cinderella is a NiceGirl who herself almost met the same fate as Pyrrha because her stepfamily's hatred of her attracted creatures similar to the Grimm. When Cinderella learned about Cinder, she has set to work with trying to keep Pyrrha's legacy alive and atone for Cinder's crimes]].

287* Oppose: Any deities wielding flamethrowers and explosive charges
288* Soldiers of [[UsefulNotes/KatanasOfTheRisingSun the Imperial Japanese Army]], the Banzai Chargers are infamous for one thing: ambushing any unsuspecting enemy soldiers and [[BayonetYa bayoneting them]] with their Arisaka rifles.
289* Unlike regular Japanese troops, who are armed with standard Arisaka rifles or Type 100 submachine guns, these troops are almost always armed with Arisaka Type 99 rifles armed with bayonets. They also wear camouflage netting over their uniforms, allowing them to blend into the Jungle and Tropical environments they're found defending.
290** In addition to this, they prefer to wait for their enemies to come to them, then ambush their enemies when they're caught off guard.
291* A squad of these soldiers arrived in the Pantheon following the ascension of several US Marine deities, having tracked the landing craft that the former used to get in. As with the islands they defended previously, they decide to lay in wait and ambush any unsuspecting Marines or Army soldiers in the event they come back for the vehicles in question.
292* They don't have to wait too long for this to happen, when [[Pantheon/{{Armies}} Conlin and his squad]] arrive near the landing zone to pick up more ammunition and supplies they left behind. When they get close enough, they open fire and begin charging at them with their bayonets. Caught by surprise, and armed only with their sidearms, the Marines are forced to fall back without their supplies on hand.
293* Just as the Japanese soldiers manage to keep up with Conlin's squad, they are ambushed by a machine-gun wielding [[Pantheon/MilitaryRanks Sgt. John Basilone]], who guns down several of them in quick succession, forcing them to retreat.
294* This surprise attack delights Gunnery Sgt. Minoso and Pvt. Gaines, who finally have enemies in the Pantheon to fight. Conlin and Sullivan are less than pleased, due to enjoying the peace and quiet routine of training new Marines that they've been doing until now. Despite, this they decide to retrieve their supplies again and hunt for the other Japanese soldiers.
295* Are seen in a negative light by virtually all good Japanese deities in the Pantheon. [[Pantheon/{{Narrative}} The Admiral]] isn't too fond of them especially, knowing of the bitter InterserviceRivalry with them during the War years.
296* Are known for a reputation for [[DefiantToTheEnd preferring death before surrender]], as well as [[CombatPragmatist dirty-handed]] tricks, including [[ISurrenderSuckers feigning surrender]] and [[TakingYouWithMe trying to take enemy soldiers down with them before dying]].
297* With [[Pantheon/DominionsExpansion Iwo Jima]] in the Pantheon, they decide to establish their operations there. [[{{Irony}} Ironically]], the original garrison commander of the island, [[Film/LettersFromIwoJima Gen. Tadamichi Kuribayashi]] hated their tactics, seeing them as wasteful and achieving nothing other than weakening the island's defenses. But with no Kuribayashi in the Pantheon as of the moment, they simply continue their reckless charging tactics.
298** Unfortunately for them, the island at this point has become a base of operations for several US Marines, most notably [[Pantheon/ActsOfWar The Iwo Jima Flag Raisers]], as well as the previously encountered [[Pantheon/MilitaryRanks Sgt. John Basilone]]. Wanting to avoid a confrontation at the moment, they decide to hide in the island's large and complex cave defense system for the time being, in the hopes that more IJA reinforcements will come later.
