Greater Gods

    Kenpachi Zaraki 
Kenpachi Zaraki, God of Blood Knights (Captain Zaraki, Gotei 13's 11th Division captain, Kenny, Ken-chan)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tybw_anime_kenpachi.png
  • Greater God (Overdeity if he were to actually learn master-level swordsmanship)
  • Symbol: His Zanpakuto, Nozarashi
  • Theme Song: Superpredators by Massive Attack
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Blood Knights, Implacable Men, Katanas, Power Limiting Eyepatches, Sociopathic Heroes, Getting Lost, People Who Are the Only Ones Allowed to Defeat Other People, Those Who are Not Left-Handed, Ensemble Darkhorses, The Strongest Soul Reaper, Unskilled, but Strong
  • Domains: Strength, Chaos, Death
  • Herald: Yachiru (his zanpakuto)
  • High Priest: Geist
  • Worthy Opponents: Akuma, Rugal Bernstein, Ichigo Kurosaki, Vali Lucifer, Augus, Yachiru Unohana
  • Kenpachi is on a constant quest to fight every single other god to the death. Unfortunately, he lives in a world where nobody can die. Sucks to be him...or not. After all, if nobody can die, then that just means that Kenpachi can keep fighting them forever and ever, which is something he’s perfectly okay with.
  • Fights Absolute Virtue nearly every other day. Despite losing every time, he continues to fight because it's just too fun.
  • Is defeated swiftly by the Emperor of the Vandereich. This puts a hamper on his godhood, as he now is put under training by Unohana Retsu, while a dangerous man named Azrael is seeking to usurp Kenpachi's seat should he fail to uphold his status. Thankfully, Kenpachi has been making good progress in upholding his throne, thanks to said Training from Hell.
    • Similarly, he tries to do the same with newcomer Augus. He still finds it just as fun despite losing against him almost as much as against Absolute Virtue.
  • He gets along swimmingly with Vali Lucifer, due to their shared desire for fighting. Not only that, Kenpachi is one of the few deities who can keep up with him when he's in his Juggernaut Drive.
  • Zaraki ascended to the position of Greater God after destroying a meteor that would have wiped out the Seireitei and cutting through a room which was a pocket of space with his true Shikai, Nozarashi. Fellow blood knights and other warriors in the Combat pantheon were pleased; his enemies were not.
    • Ever since an encounter with an alleged Reality Warper in Soul Society, however, glitter tests have been sanctioned for Zaraki and Nozarashi. The House of Combat is worried that a "positive" result would mean Kaldor Draigo's release to Purgatory was for naught. If the result is true, he would be demoted to The Fallen. The test almost instantaneously went negative as he was grievously wounded in the fight and was defeated quickly after. However, this did allowed to become a greater God.
  • Akuma once attempted to take over the throne of the God of Blood Knights, but after a very long, extended battle, he recognized Kenpachi's (slightly) greater battle-lust.
    • That bout began all the way back when he happened to be in Kenpachi's path while the swordsman was out for a stroll in the woods. Long story short, Akuma and Kenpachi ended up chopping down some giant trees, carving a mountain in half and causing an enormous eruption of lava. Kenpachi lost every round, but not without taking a limb and a shoulder from Akuma. He had quite a lot of fun and can't wait to fight the Raging Demon again, especially now that he can turn into an oni himself.

  • Akeno Himejima has had it rough. The daughter of Shuri Himejima - a shrine maiden, and Baraqiel - a fallen angel, she lost her mother at an early age as her brethren disapproved of her relationship and killed her in cold blood. She then disavowed her father for failing to protect her mother in the time of need, and ran away from home spending the rest of her childhood roaming the land as an exorcist without food or shelter. One day, however, a chance encounter with a human that had a deal with a devil from the Gremory Clan caused her to get ambushed herself by the rest of her family members. She was however saved in the nick of time by Rias and her father's Bishop; the red-haired Devil successfully talked the Himejima clan into sparing her, and Akeno became her Queen and her number one confidant. Since then the two have built a strong friendship, even though they share a white hot rivalry over Issei's heart. In fact, Issei and Rias both played a key role in her ascension to the Pantheon.
  • Was considered to enter the Pantheon due to her incredible fighting prowess, which made her manage to keep up on her own with the seemingly unstoppable Kokabiel, who was later utterly curb-stomped by Vali. Ultimately ascended after Issei and Rias's efforts, similarly to Asia. The first thing she's done after arriving in the Pantheon was to go find Issei and reward him with a solo lap-dance for his efforts. The sudden barging in of Rias prevented this from escalating any further.
  • Loathes Kefka because of his enjoyment of watching innocent people suffer, while she only gets off by inflicting pain while actually fighting. Long story short, he reminds her way too much of Freed Sellzen.
    • She is also antagonistic towards Ornstein due to his numerous attempts to kill Issei, as he's a half-dragon.
  • Known to be one of the Pantheon's kinkiest goddesses. This makes her a favorite of Slaanesh, but she's not ultimately fond of him/her/it due to his/her/its utter depravity.
  • One time she challenged Excellen Browning on who can tease more gods in one day. The results are unknown. All in all, however, the are good friends and are sometimes seen training together.
  • She didn't like men until she fell in love with Issei. The patch-up with her dad has helped matters, too. Because of her past, she refuses to touch Relius Clover with a ten-foot pole, for being what she thought her father was.
  • As all three of them are fallen angels, she is also good friends with Panty and Stocking. Akeno does know that Panty's voice is painstakingly similar to Rias's, but did not know about Stocking's secret kinks... At least, until Mr. Slave told her. The miko fallen angel, however, like Issei's other haremettes, looks down over the fact that Panty often tries to bed Issei, but did say that she wouldn't mind it as long as she gets some of the action as well. Akeno, however, really does not know that Stocking is actually evil.
  • She usually sticks her nose on Issei's relationship with Rias, demanding from Issei to have a threesome with the two. While Issei is very much allured by this idea, Rias has sometimes protested, although she got over it later on.
    • In fact, whenever Rias and Issei sneak into the House of Romance to make out, she would also sneak in with the help of Panty and Stocking, and finally stick her nose on the couple.
  • After getting a place in the Chick Magnet Quartet's Battle Harem alongside the rest of the Occult Research Club, she became friends with Hinagiku Katsura, who is also part of the harem. Some gods did notice that Akeno and Hinagiku do sound a lot alike...
  • While certainly friendly, her relations with Kaori Kanzaki tend to be somewhat complex: while Kaori has accepted the fact that she and Akeno share similar voice and appearance, the fallen angel's personality and lineage can't help but remind Kaori of her "Fallen Angel Ero Maid" cosplay incident. This is further complicated by the fact that Akeno often dresses up as "Fallen Angel Ero Maid" to tease Touma Kamijou; since then, Kaori has given a warning to Touma to stay clear from Akeno, although the fallen angel is firmly rooting for Kaori to hook up with Touma... As his mistress.
  • Being a rather badass example of such, Akeno has gathered a good amount of respect from the Pantheon's other shrine maidens, including Himeko and Chikane. Of course, some gods (ones in the House of Religion and Faith in particular, barring, obviously enough, Xenovia and Irina) wonder how can she pass as a shrine maiden, to the point that they gave some slack to Reimu Hakurei about her behaviour, even if Reimu doesn't like that comparison that much. In response, Akeno points out that she inherited it from her dead mother... Only to cause even more confusion among the gods of that house.
    • Byakuren doesn't also seem to mind her, and praises that a demon like her would become a proper religious figure, even if Akeno isn't Buddhist. Outside of House of Religion and Faith, Clarice also things that there is no actual problem of demons being religious figures.
  • Akeno was positively outraged when she knew from Asia that Shinnok is planning to steal the Boosted Gear from Issei to gain its powers and become the only god of Amplifier Artifacts. Needless to say she's trying to thwart his plans together with the rest of the Occult Research Club.
    • Same thing happened when Akeno learned about Raynare's ascension: Akeno has vowed that if Raynare ever dares to lay a hand on Issei once again, she'll have some manners taught.
  • Haruka has shown some interest in her, saying that her being a masochist angel reminds her of a girl called Ryouna. She has stated that she is more than glad to give her "excitement" if she needs any. Not only, they've even discovered they sound a lot alike while speaking English...
    • Once Ryouna managed to ascend, she instantly became friendly with Akeno. Events when Akeno, Haruka and Ryouna are fighting each other are dubbed "The sexiest and most violent threeway in the Pantheon". Issei has once witnessed one of these battles, and almost had a huge nosebleed when hearing the three girls moan profusely while exchanging attacks over attacks. One particular time even involved Issei himself in the battle under Akeno's request. Of course, One Thing Led to Another.
  • She has found a kindred spirit in the Umbra Witch Bayonetta, whom she sees as a mentor/Cool Big Sis. She has asked Bayonetta to teach her some of her dances, with or without the summoning aspects along with sharing ideas of 'punishment' of her foes. She even joins her in her attempts to tease Issei, as Akeno finds her loved Issei's reactions quite amusing. Not only, Bayonetta is also fully approving of Akeno's desire to become Issei's mistress. Of course, though, Koneko isn't really approving of this alliance due to her dislike for Bayonetta. Akeno did try to change her ORC friend's view on the Umbra Witch, but she only managed to go from one-sided opposition to one-sided Teeth-Clenched Teamwork; Koneko still thinks she's a "slut".
    • She has gotten wind of Bayonetta's personal crusade to free her father Balder from the possession holding him. No stranger to the drama of dealing with her own, Akeno has pledged to help her friend any way she can. Likewise, Bayonetta has reciprocated this upon learning of Raynare's history with Issei, and has pledged to help Akeno out in the case of Raynare trying to hurt Issei once again.
  • Has the most complicated relationship with Luka out of all of Issei's harem. Her personality reminds him far too much of many of the monsters he's fought on his journey, more specifically of Alma Elma, the Queen Succubus and one of Alice's Four Heavenly Knights. On the other hand, she can sympathize with him towards both his feelings for his father, not having the best one with her's either, and his mother, a fallen angel like her old man. Still, that doesn't stop her from taking some pleasure out of watching him squirm uncomfortably whenever they spar.
  • In the future, Akeno bore Issei a son name Kurenai. She was also the first of the haremettes to get pregnant.
  • "Ara ara, ufufufu~"
  • Also present in the House of Lustful Acts.

  • The Four Guardians were created from X's DNA in order to restore the lands after they were devastated from the Elf Wars. They would serve as protectors of the last bastion of humanity, Neo Arcadia. Unfortunately X would be incapacitated sealing away the Dark Elf, and Copy X, his replacement, would insititute questionable policies to solve an energy crisis that made Reploids second-class citizens. Zero would return as a member of the Resistance opposing Neo Arcadia's oppression, and the Four Guardians would tangle with Zero. While some would take longer than others, they came to respect Zero for besting them, proving his valor and being a Worthy Opponent. When Dr. Weil returned, they would finally break ties with the oppression and fight alongside Zero. Though they died with Omega's destruction, they were reincarnated in a sense as Biometals H, F, L and P. Vent/Aile, and later Ashe and Grey would use them to help save the world from the effects of Biometal W.
  • Applies to the lot:
    • Initially they were four split profiles, however all four fell under the purview of Defeat Means Respect when it comes to Zero. Even Phantom, who lacked any Blood Knight traits, came to finally respect Zero after besting him in Cyberspace, proving his worthiness to go after Weil and Omega.
    • Their ascension came with meeting a number of different deities from their home universe. The lot are on good terms with Zero, though Phantom took the longest time to see him as a Worthy Opponent and Harpuia is a fully-fledged ally compared to the other two's Friendly Rivalry and Worthy Opponent stance. Both immediately accepted the ruling of the original X. They all absolutely despise Dr. Weil and Omega for obvious reasons.
      • Semi-reformed status be damned; none of them are going to tolerate Elpizo for the shit he pulled in "Operation Righteous Strike" and destroying X's body. And except for Phantom, they won't forgive Copy X for attacking a human base. However the six of them will all work together to stop Dr. Weil and Omega; such is their depravity and threat to the world at large.
      • One of their first acts was to recruit the Green Biker Dude to their cause as an example of creative Reploid engineering. Harpuia's loyalty to X, who GBD fought and died alongside in his first official mission, helped seal the deal with the former Maverick Hunter. Axl, another important ally of X, ultimately found them to be worthy of carrying on his friend's legacy. They find him a nice if kind of immature kid, though they're still trying to figure out why there aren't records of him.
      • Shortly after the politically-labeled Maverick Epsilon was reconstructed in the Pantheon, Harpuia went to meet with him to see what he was about. As Harpuia's attitude and design reminded Epsilon of his own loyal Cadre, Epsilon solicited the Sage's help in his quest to maximize the potential of Reploids. He gave Epsilon two conditions: no initiation of violent force against innocents of any kind, and no recruiting true Mavericks. Epsilon agreed. As such, Harpuia would take point as Epsilon's advisor while Phantom and Fefnir attended to field matters and gained the approval of X for the alliance. They also told Epsilon about several important things regarding his future world and Neo Arcadia, specifically tipping him off about Dr. Weil's evil, and informing him about the energy crisis as well as Ciel's role in Zero's reawakening. They were able to take Epsilon to meet Ciel upon her ascension to the Pantheon, resulting in her agreeing to work with them, in part to research Force Metal as a potential solution to the crisis.
      • Sigma considers them, or rather Copy X a sign of humanity's desire for control and domination over Reploids in which they are complicit. They hoped he was Deader than Dead and figure he's thinly trying to justify his actions given the damage the Maverick Virus caused. He and his allies are serious Maverick threats. The Four Guardians regard Dr. Wily with contempt as well, for being the progenitor of the Maverick Virus and his world domination goals. That said, they don't hold it against Zero that Wily is his "father".
      • As X is considered their father due to being based on his design and blueprints, they consider Dr. Light to be "Grandpa Light". Dr. Light is glad to see that despite what happened with Neo Arcadia, they remained noble at heart and have developed into full-fledged protectors of man and machine. They often find themselves conversing with their "aunt and uncles". Light believes X may have stumbled onto some of his old Robot Masters, given their similarities to 4 more recent Robot Masters.
      • Contrasting pride at Vent, Aile, Grey and Ashe for how they helped save the world with their Biometals, all four were particularly livid at Serpent and the yet unascended Master Albert for using their Biometals to their evil ambitions involving Biometal W aka Dr. Weil's reincarnation. Hence their unapproved heralds, who were a Biomatch for their Biometals. Zamasu and Airy, two beings whose motives for wanting to eradicate humanity are not too dissimilar from those who used their Biometals for evil ("justice" for the former, a master called Ouroboros for the latter), are detested by the four for this reason. Leviathan's contempt for them is particularly special.
    • Harpuia realized that the group they had been forming with Ciel, Epsilon, and GBD would have to be a true resistance for all robot deities who don't wish for dominion over humans rather than a mere research and advocacy force for Reploids, with that plan hastening thanks to a surge of Maverick activity in the Pantheon. While Sigma and Ultron mucked around with both a merging-of-worlds plot and a mechanical outbreak in the Pantheon, with the Maverick Hunters joining groups of heroes to stop them on both fronts, they were freed to establish a framework for the organization in the background. They've had communications with Aigis, and while she couldn't dedicate enough time to join due to her capacity as a member of the Persona group Shadow Operatives, she did convince her "sister" robot Labrys as well as Lambda-11 to accept in her stead.
    • After Ultron-Sigma's efforts were finally turned back, the set of eight appeared before the House of Justice and announced the creation of Liberion Arcadia. Then they retreated into said House where they had built a futuristic military base connected to the members' temples via teleport terminals. They let a few other robots in on what they were doing, such as Proto Man, Repliforce, Grimlock, and Bass, but none of them answered the call. Instead, an android girl named 2B came to the base claiming she'd contemplated forming a group like theirs until she discovered it already existed. Showing some of her skills, she stated she was built to fight invasive machines. Harpuia was the first to recommend her approval, after which Epsilon and Ciel got on board and the others followed, making her their first post-announcement recruit. Shortly afterwards, 2B spoke with the Wise General and the Rebellion Commander regarding her fellow YoRHa droids 9S and A2, who were both in storage awaiting titles; a place was reserved for 9S whenever his time came. Sure enough, 9S would take his place alongside 2B upon ascension with temples based on his hacking skills.
    • Prior to 9S joining the team, Labrys ended up recruiting ICEY, who Harpuia instantly liked as well due to her desire for freedom fitting the group's ideals as well as her X-like sense of mercy despite being built for combat. Epsilon would also bring in Quote and Curly Brace, two armed scout robots who saved an entire cave bunny civilization from certain doom. Thanks to Labrys and Lambda's allies emphasizing this point, the non-Reploid members each gained access to failsafes against the Sigma Virus.
    • X represents hope for the human race, of which Madoka reminds them of. Which is why they're participating in "The Pantheonic Rebellion" and have designated Metatron as a Maverick to be terminated. YHVH has also been labeled as a Maverick, not helping matters in that their disgraced former leader Copy X has allied himself with Him.
    • 3 of them are rather uncomfortable around their elemental weaknesses; Harpuia avoids the Ice and Cold sub-house, Fefnir avoids the Electricity sub-house and Leviathan avoids the Fire and Heat sub-house. Phantom doesn't get what their deal is. All four are allies with those who protect the environment and enemies to those who threaten it, as part of their role was restoring the environment from the devastation of the Elf Wars. All four are also well-liked by gamers in the House of Gaming due to how well executed and fun their boss fights are (though base Harpuia had to deal with an unfortunate programming loop that could be triggered with an ice move), especially Fefnir and Phantom.
    • Aside from their mission to stop the GUAM, the Four Guardians have gotten into skirmishes with the likes of The Corpus, as well as Desperado's Winds of Destruction. Fefnir's habit of Firing in the Air a Lot came in handy as Anti-Air to intercept the bombs Mistral would make of her Dwarf Gekkos. Usually Mistral will draw him into Trash Talk where she dares him to keep up, with some undertone of hot-and-cold flirtation sneaking in. In another incident, Talon's Wild Card Sombra tried to hack into everyone's systems, which caused 9S to hack her cybernetics, provoking a fight between LA and Talon. At one point GBD's Ride Chaser Cheval was shot in a critical spot, later blowing up when GBD tried to fire out of it. Fefnir discovered the sniper Widowmaker as the culprit and tried to shoot her himself, but she evaded that fireball. He wants to get her back for hurting his partner.
  • Applies to Sage Harpuia:
    • Sage Harpuia is the leader of the Four Guardians, and between Copy X's death and revival the effective leader of Neo Arcadianote  as well as the second-in-command of Liberion Arcadia. Fittingly, he was the first of his siblings to ascend before joining in a group profile. Despite his pride, Harpuia would develop into a truly noble figure and mature to be like the true X. It's a development that leads him to be fond of Peter Parker, as they have come to appreciate that "with great power comes great responsibility". It also sees him in the trusted role of keeping Epsilon from losing the plot.
    • Harpuia has a strained alliance with the Emperor of Mankind, because of the Imperium's view on "abominable intelligence" and how both Harpuia and the Emperor have questioned each other over how to go about protecting humanity. Still they both know the struggle between morality and pragmatism. Ultimately, the Emperor regards him, X and his siblings as "admirable intelligences". By contrast Optimus Prime and Harpuia are straightforward allies, the former sympathizing with the latter's leadership position and encouraged by him trying to follow the guideline that "freedom is the right of all sentient beings".
    • Adell is seeking his aid against Overlord Zenon, seeing that Harpuia's nigh immunity to lightning and super sonic flight speed would (at least in theory anyway) give her trouble. His military experience as the leader of the Four Guardians and intellectual commander of the Strong Air Battalion, is perhaps an even bigger boon from his allegiance. Spider-Man also gaiend his allegiance for learning righteousness and responsibility much as he did in his day, albeit in entirely different ways; where Spidey initially didn't care so much about using his powers to do good, Harpuia for a long time was too caught up in doing so to realize he was being used to work evil instead.
    • Harpuia's elemental powers were of interest to Thor, who had his own experience learning to mature and be a proper leader. He let Harpuia test if he was worthy for Mjolnir, and while Harpuia failed (though he did make it budge a little) he took it in stride and assumed it meant he had some more work to do. Harpuia is also speed-oriented, and has found himself enjoying racing matches with Sonic and Tails. Harpuia's speed has allowed him to fight toe to toe with Metal Sonic.
    • Harpuia had an encounter with Scanty and Kneesocks after they heard he had a connection with the devil, and were surprised that he was a good guy. They later sympathized with him over how "chaotic" Weil really was, and they became rivals of sorts. Harpuia hopes that they can become good while still enforcing the RRRRRRURUS, while the two demons think that he should return to his oppressive ways.
  • Applies to Fighting Fefnir:
    • Though most of his siblings enjoy a good fight, it's Fefnir above all of them who lives for the thrill of battle. While Zero will always be his worthiest of opponents, Fefnir has enjoyed a number of fights he's had with the likes of Ragnaros and Cu Chulainn where they tested who's fire is mightier and whether rifles beat spears respectively. He really enjoys squaring off with Undyne, due to their similar personality. Fefnir even fought Asura, however he bit off more than he could chew. However, if anything this has encouraged him to improve.
    • As head of the Scorched Earth Squadron, it's his duty to patrol the desert wastelands to take out enemies of the state. He used to have the mummy-like Anubis Necromancess to help him out, but after his death Fefnir's being trying to hire some of the other gods. Traveling to the desert, he found another Anubis, and another mummy in the form of Anakaris. Together, the three protect the desert regions. In general, he feels more at home in the Earth and Metal sub-houses. Gaara has been good help in his visits there, while Admiral Akainu has given him trouble. In particular, Fefnir loathes Sakazuki for his perversion of justice, which comes off as an even more evil take on Copy X's own aggressive judgements.
    • As apparent with his gun, he is a rifle expert. He's particularly fond of Firing in the Air a Lot, bringing down a rain of fiery projectiles. When he's really serious, he'll transform into his Armored Phenomenon Form; a living tank. Because of his fondness for guns and Hot-Blooded personality, Fefnir got along amazingly with Yoko Littner, and hit it off with her friend Kamina for obvious reasons. He's been checking out Seras Victoria, showing off his own guns Sodom and Gomorrah. He might be hitting on her, or is hot for her weapons. Either way, bitches love cannons.
    • It's a bad idea to confuse Fefnir with the similarly-named Fenrir. That psychotic wolf is a threat to Neo Arcadia and the world at large, and the Reploid will not abide by such a threat. Also, while it won't piss him off, he's sick of the Hall of Draconic Beings mistaking him for Fafnir. True, X named him after the legendary dragon, but it's only because he likes the name. He considers the actual person not worth his time.
  • Applies to Fairy Leviathan:
    • In life she commanded Neo Arcadia's Deep Sea Squadron, a fitting status considering her specialty in underwater combat. In the Pantheon, she was the last of the Four Guardians to fully ascend, only managing to do so after 9S hacked into the Court of the Gods' database to push her petition to the forefront. Ironically, she was the one whose temple would be converted into a temple for everyone else, to which she now gets to boast that after being stuck in Harpuia's temple for so long, her brothers ended up being placed in "her house" (though this is all in good fun).
    • She has a fondness for nicknaming her teammates, calling Harpuia and Fefnir "pretty boy" and "combat nerd" respectively. As Harpuia's herald she started calling Phantom "cyber stalker". After ascending, she assigned nicknames to every member of Liberion Arcadia. She also wanted to call herself "water queen", but Fefnir wouldn't let her get away with putting herself over, insisting on "water freak" instead.
    • As Harpuia had discovered at the time, a sea monster with her name (plus "the Tidehunter") ascended before her. When the two finally met, it was not pretty. He immediately tried to attack her with his Gush, amplified into a tidal wave by Aghanim's Scepter. Instead of it slowing her down, though, she used his wave to temporarily submerge the two in water, swimming quickly to spear him with her ice halberd. Then he summoned the tentacles of his god to ravage her from below, and she summoned ice dragons to help her narrowly escape. They've been on bad terms ever since.
    • The RKS ladies Tia and Freudia thought she looked like a friend of theirs when they first saw her. She got "hacker kid" 9S to do some research and discovered Trauare to be similar to her in a lot of ways, including the Defeat Means Respect trope, and even carrying an ice halberd named after her. As such, Trau became her High Priestess, and she's allowed Tia and Freudia to visit Trau at her temple. She also connects somewhat with Freudia, as they share mastery of ice powers and distant personalities — though Leviathan does tend to smile a lot more often. Harpuia, "visor geek" Lambda, and "katana girl" 2B have also told her about Nu-13. The Siren General finds the Calamity Trigger interesting for both her abilities and her unfettered feelings for Ragna the Bloodedge. Even so, neither's object of affection, nor Leviathan's master, would ever want the end of everything. That's a goal she can't let Nu fulfill.
    • Once came to the aid of A2 in fighting back a Corpus ambush sometime after hearing of A2's choice to keep a distance from 2B and 9S because of their troubled YoRHa history. Rather than persist in any invitations, she respects A2's stoic and solitary attitude, as it reminds her of Zero. As for Ragna himself, she sees some obvious similarities with Zero in the rebellious Grim Reaper, but his deliberate edginess seems a bit of a joke. Despite this, she still spars with him on occasion to help sharpen each other's skills (hers on land, his in general) after encountering him once alongside Grey.
    • While their whole team wants to eradicate the Technocyte plague, she's more disgusted by the Infested than anyone else. Having heard that they've both tried to infect 2B and 9S's mainframes as well as infiltrating the Water and Ice sub-houses, she intends to destroy any Technocytes she finds in "her" waters. If there's one time she and Wo-Class will work together it's to deal with them.
    • Apparently is the one person who gets along fairly well with Jiren in both his anime and manga personalities, as he's come to understand her mentality of respect towards those who best her in battle. She also shares this commonality with Tien Shinhan, an honorable warrior in green who once served a scummy master and thus relates to her brother. Ironically, the rival they both came to respect is the Earth-raised Saiyan warrior Son Goku, someone who Zero thinks is a bit of a fool.
  • Applies to Hidden Phantom:
    • Specializing in intelligence and ninja-style sleight of hand as the head of the Cutting Shadow Squadron, Phantom epitomized the loyalty and dedication of his "father", serving with Undying Loyalty to his country and master. When Zero bested him and tried to go after his current lord, Copy X, the Reploid self-destructed to take out Zero. But this wasn't the end for him. When his body was destroyed, his spirit persisted in Cyberspace. There, he would test Zero's strength, to see if he'd be ready to fight Omega.
      • Despite being a clear case of Dark Is Not Evil, the Data Disk refers to him as "The evil Dark Lord". It's a pet peeve of his that this is a thing.
    • Unlike his siblings he is more conflicted on Copy X. Despite his attack on a human settlement, Phantom doesn't believe he is Beyond Redemption as he believes he was under More than Mind Control by Dr. Weil at the time. While the true X holds greater loyalty, he still believes Copy X can be redeemed. Due to this Conflicting Loyalty, the GUAE is hoping to turn Phantom into a Token Good Teammate. On the other hand, the GUAG wants to make him a spy. Still, as far as Grand Alliances go, Phantom found his true loyalties to lie in Eiki Shiki, as he agrees with her vision of a reformed GUAL.
    • In the Pantheon, he helps guard Cyberspace. He often gets frustrated with Rotom, who keeps messing with his domain for his amusement. Phantom usually gets the last laugh due to lacking the Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors of his siblings. His guarding of Cyberspace has had him share his ninja skills with Neo's gang and Kevin Flynn, in order to stops those that might defile it like the MCP, CLU 2 and Agent Smith.
    • Gets along with the other good ninjas in the Pantheon such as Shikamaru Nara and Tsubaki Nakatsukasu; he's really good friends with fellow Cyber Ninja Raiden for protecting the weak. On the other side, he considers Sektor an affront to both ninjas and advanced tech. He also was impressed with Samuel Rodrigues, though wishes Jetstream Sam would work with more savory fellows than the Winds of Destruction. Especially after they started coming after some of his new teammates. Monsoon, another Cyber Ninja of sorts, is a member of that team who he likens to Sianarq... if Sianarq was loud. He's easily Phantom's least favorite Desperado cyborg.

  • Feared by: Rio Kamishiro, Haze
  • Deep within Hueco Mundo's Menos Forest, a large group of monsters called Hollows regularly eat each other to get stronger. When a Hollow consumes enough, it becomes a Menos Grande, where it rises from the forest and into the surface of Hueco Mundo, becoming an Adjuchas, and eventually, a Vasto Lorde. One such Hollow was fortunate enough to reach this level, and only became stronger thanks to the Hogyoku. This man, after regaining his human form as a result, would strive to become the king that he said he'd become to his Fracciones. He is known by all those who know of him as Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez who has ascended under the idea that his bloodlust needs to be satiated by the one he sees as The Rival to his position. Grimmjow has accepted this position wholeheartedly.
  • After hearing about Ichigo's return to the Trope Pantheons, Grimmjow decided to resume his training (the one where he eats hollows and Arrancar) so that he would be strong enough to combat him once again in a Duel to the Death. What he didn't expect was a colorful cast of strangers unlike any he had ever seen before. Some people are tall, some people are ghosts, some people are literal toilets, plenty of cute girls to go around, everyone manages to talk in the same language as he does. This excited Grimmjow, since there was never going to be a dull moment in the Pantheon. The amount of chaos he has seen as a bystander is alone worth the admission he had taken.
  • But before the fun could begin, Ulquiorra arrived and asked him what he was going to do. Grimmjow told that it's none of his business since they don't work for Aizen anymore. This made Ulquiorra relent, saying his ambitions are meaningless and left hastily. However, despite showing no loyalty towards Aizen—Grimmjow could smell his influence across the Pantheon even if he has not gained a position yet. If Aizen does show up, Grimmjow will certainly try beating his ass.
  • One of Grimmjow's more humorous interactions was with Rio Kamishiro. Since she knew that he could turn into a cat, she quickly hid behind her brother and told him to go away. He didn't think much of it, seeing her as Just a Kid so he did not waste time fighting her. However, with his back turned was when Rio ran up to him and proceeded to kick his balls from behind which made Grimmjow angry enough to not let it slide. Rio then was seen been chased down by the Arrancar all across the Pantheon.
  • An obvious exchange came from Eugene Gallardo. Since they're both panthers in a sense, Eugene warns him that if he should ever bring harm to his friends and loved ones, he won't hesitate to kill him. This amuses him much more than it was supposed to scare him. Grimmjow says that if it ever comes to that, he'll expect Eugene to put up a good fight. Eugene said instead that he wants to fight Grimmjow already but Grimmjow stated that Eugene better be prepared to make him extra mad so that nothing is held back. This confuses Eugene as he can't tell whether or not Grimmjow is begging to be provoked. Considering who it is, it can go either way.
    Grimmjow: It better be something really bad if you want me all pissed off.
  • Sakazuki finds Grimmjow's general outlook on wanting as much carnage as possible to be a threat to order and stability. Likewise, Grimmjow thinks it's annoying how his Logia powers allow him to No-Sell almost anything that's thrown his way unless he works really hard on the Haki. The two haven't been able to reach a conclusion to their struggles against each other, so Grimmjow just up and left their conflict. To strengthen himself, Grimmjow has been teaching himself the principles of Haki so that he can be even more of a powerhouse than he already is.
  • One God that almost every Bleach God hates is Yhwach. Grimmjow doesn't take kindly to how much of a Hypocrite Yhwach is, citing how someone who kills his own men if they're not useful anymore has no right to yearn for a world without death. He also got in the way of his fight with Ichigo by invading Hueco Mundo which he takes personally (as in a capital P). Yhwach does not care for Grimmjow or anybody lesser to him for their opinions. All that Yhwach wants to do is achieve his goals no matter the cost.
  • The way that Kano kills his opponents brings to mind how Grimmjow once killed Askin when his back was turned. Kano admits that he has plenty of experience in this form of killing. Grimmjow is impressed by this and decided not to kill him under these pretenses. That is a rarity for his character, meaning Kano NOW must train himself hard for when Grimmjow shows back up again to finish his life. A... terrifying sentiment but Kano believes that he could handle it.
    • The Arrancar is also on amicable terms with Noob Saibot since he's wanted to kill Hanzo Hasashi for possibly years now. This is because the Grandmaster once killed him due to being framed by Quan Chi for wiping out his family and clan. Bi-Han's lust for revenge (as well as his Arcade Ending should he defeat Kronika) also reminds him of a certain villain's end goal, which he wasn't appalled by.
    • However, he wasn't so friendly with Kronika's group. She tried to seduce him with a world where Ichigo is dead and he becomes the king that he strives towards becoming. Grimmjow doesn't buy it for a second, saying not only does he want to kill Ichigo on his own terms, Kronika's been making too many similar promises for her to be telling the truth and not a false reality where nothing is earned. He also hates Geras and Cetrion for blindly obeying someone who doesn't actually care about their wishes, believing that it's stupid to be so loyal to someone over nothing. This reminds him of Aizen's pawns who act surprised when he turns out to not care about any of them—which he basically wants to call them all out for being complete morons.
    Grimmjow: Aizen is like a girl you have a crush on. You do all these things and waste all that time and money, only to learn you were being played like a fool. That is what being loyal without gain is like. Camaraderie? Faith? All lies spun by manipulators who will throw you like trash when your work is done. I can't believe how many people are dumb enough to believe a cause that they're just a tool in.
  • Upon hearing about Grimmjow, Haze stood in opposition to him, mainly due to how she was killed by impalement which... basically is a trigger thing for her. She was reminded of this because he did something similar to a certain Smug Snake. Regardless of who she works for, he'll kill her the minute she even tries to suppress his powers. At the very least, he doesn't seem like an immediate threat to anyone harmless. However, Grimmjow finds it annoying people are so hung up over their deaths that they suddenly find opposition to completely unrelated individuals due to sharing that one common trait that put them to their end. He would tell them to get over it, but that would make them even more offended since being frank is seen as a negative these days (which he despises the culture of).
  • He can almost see a kindred spirit in Malos since he wants to destroy Alrest which Grimmjow also would love to see with a monocle for the occasion too. This is because Grimmjow's aspect of death is destruction, which is likely the reason why he's so unhinged about wanting to kill others. Since the two aren't actually enemies, Malos understands that he won't stand in his way, making him free to carry out these omnicidal tendencies. Grimmjow likes the "moment" where destruction is thrown around while just complete instantaneous destruction is like a roller coaster ride. The former goes on for longer and it could get a bit repetitive but the instaneous destruction goes by too quick yet what is seen are a spectacle to behold. Whenever Grimmjow sees some something blowing up, he would get a camera instead of be in shock like other onlookers.
  • Grimmjow at least has some respect for Turles for attempting to claim power and remove himself from any system that would devalue him as a warrior. Turles acknowledges this compliment, saying that if not his own desire to become a king, he'd have made a fine addition to the Crusher Corps., especially since they both share a goal to kill their respective hero. Grimmjow predictably refused as he had a bad experience with his former boss of Aizen, but keeps in touch with Turles regardless because he is a fellow warrior of chaos.
  • After failing to impress Ulquiorra, the Joker tried to resonate with Grimmjow, trying to give a "Not So Different" Remark to compare each other. The latter disagrees, saying next to the Joker, he might as well be Zommari to him. The Joker also reminds Grimmjow too much of Szayelapporo Granz and decided not the work with the crazed criminal. Joker was sad but still smiled since that was his whole schtick.
  • Grimmjow doesn't really care about having friends, as shown when he didn't grieve for the deaths of his minions. Having other people to take care of feels like too much of a chore for him. Because of this, he's able to understand why Bass refuses to be friends with anyone, even turning on his creator at one point. He's even been in the position of Bass.EXE as they're both willing to gain as much power as possible and both want to destroy The Hero of their respective stories.
  • "Don't forget my name, Soul Reaper, and you better pray that you never hear it again! Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez...because the next time you hear my name, you'll be a dead man...I promise."

Lesser Gods

    Balrog 
Balrog, God of Dirty Boxers (Mike Bison, Boxer, Violent Boxer, The Crazy Buffalo)
https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/super_street_fighter_iv_arcade_edition_game_character_official_artwork_render_balrog.png
Balrog's classic design
Balrog in Street Fighter V
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His Red Gloves
  • Theme Songs: Balrog Stage (CPS1 base)
  • Alignment: Neutral Evil
  • Portfolio: Scary Black American, Gigaton Punch, Headbutts, Only in It for the Money, Punch Attack Specialist, Lightning Bruiser, Heavily Modeled After Mike Tyson, Jerkass, Dumb Muscle, Gratuitous English, Using Every Dirty Trick to Win a Fight

  • Enemies: Dudley, TJ Combo, Ryu, Ken Masters, Chun-Li, Guile, Charlie Nash, Zangief, Edmond Honda, Sagat, Ippo Makunouchi, Toriko and Komatsu, Tien Shinhan
  • An American boxing champion infamous for not only the incredible force of his punching fists, but also using headbutts, low blow punches, and other filthy tricks to win his fights both in and out of the ring, Balrog is perhaps the most well-known parody of prime reality boxer Mike Tyson. He has made Las Vegas his home ground at least as a fighter, with challengers traveling to fight him at the Golden Bullion casino. In addition to his exploits on the boxing circuit, he also funds an extravagant lifestyle by selling his services as a thug for hire for world-dominating organizations. His most frequent employer, of course, is Master Bison, the dictator of the infamous crime syndicate Shadaloo. In fact, Balrog's ascension to the Pantheon was requested by Bison, with the aim of plotting a Shadaloo Devas takeover of the Pantheon.
  • Loathes Sagat for betraying Shadoloo, and swears to give the Muay Thai master a deserved punch in the gut.
  • He's the brutish polar opposite of Vega's narcissism, which often drives the two at odds with each other. One time this was evident was when they teamed up together in their quest for retrieving Pandora's Box.
  • Often visits the House of Commerce by just making bets to every God who challenges him.
  • Has an enmity with Dudley because he represents everything the contrary for him. He also has enmity with Ippo as he stood for the perversion of everything Ippo represents. And now that both gods are in the same House, the hostility has reached a boiling point.
  • He's been seen doing jobs for people outside of Shadaloo as of late, particularly ever since the details of Shadaloo's downfall in the mortal world were revealed to include his selling them out to Urien and the Illuminati for a lucrative payday. One fellow criminal he really works well with is Kano, since both are jerks who are fighting just for the money. In fact, they both tried to jump Guile at one point when Guile came after Balrog for answers about something. Unfortunately, this coincided with the Pantheonic return of Charlie Nash, who took down Kano with his Judgement Saber and sent Balrog running.
  • Wiz and Boomstick arranged a boxing match for Balrog against TJ Combo. The Crazy Buffalo is eager to smash his opponent's face in. He came out of it with a twisted arm and a lost head. Balrog now anticipates the day TJ Combo ascends to the Pantheon for a rematch. TJ Combo eventually did make it to the Pantheon, and now Balrog is working harder than ever. He WANTS that rematch, and he wants it REAL bad!
  • Balrog adopted a young orphan named Ed. While Balrog isn't the best person to take care of a kid, he actually liked the kid and was saddened that a fight between them (due to a big dose of Poor Communication Kills on Balrog's part) caused them to split. Various gods actually feel sorry for them. They later reconciled as friendly rivals on the boxing circuit, which earned a rare standing ovation, although Ed has declined becoming Balrog's herald since he's got some business to take care of as leader of Neo-Shadaloo.
  • He and Vega joined Bison in a feud with another Four Heavenly Kings group due to that group's counterpart to their newest member refusing to join Shadaloo in F.A.N.G.'s temporary stead.

    Cody Travers 
Cody Travers, God of Pragmatic Combat (The Bored Jailbreaker, Emo Brooder, The Hero of Metro City (Formerly), Fallen Hero, Mayor of Metro City)

  • Formerly known as the Hero of Metro City, Cody Travers became famous after dismantling the Mad Gear Gang and saving his girlfriend Jessica Haggar with the help of his friends Guy and his then father-in-law Mike Haggar. However, Cody became addicted to fighting, to the point that he was sent to prison for starting fights he didn't even participate in. Even in prison, Cody is no slouch, as he can easily fight with his handcuffs on as well as when he has nothing at all, some even think he keeps them as a form of Self-Restraint.
    • Cody used to be a deity in the Pantheon until one day he just disappeared without notice. Then he resurfaced, revealed to have become the new Mayor of Metro City in the place of Mike Haggar. A lot of deities were caught off guard with Cody having yet another drastic change in his life. Still, he continues fighting in the streets, but this time as a protector of Metro City again.
  • He was glad that after his departure from the Pantheon and eventual return that his friend Guy managed to become a deity, and he was even with his sister-in-law Maki. They first sparred a bit like in the good old days and Cody as usual came out on top. Then Cody mentioned that he came across Guy's master Zeku, who he found to be a tad bit eccentric but nonetheless they remained on friendly terms.
  • Not very happy with many of the former Mad Gear members having a presence in the pantheon, but thankfully after a run-in with Abigail, he found out that most of them have already quit being criminals. Well, except Rolento who still seeks to make his perfect Utopia. Cody, being the usual Blood Knight he is, wants to settle things more personally with that guy.
  • In the past, Cody was a bit infamous with the House of Law and Justice members concerning his criminal past, even if his crimes were more or less a setup to send him to jail. His increasing thirst for battle made him undergo a change for the worse but deep down he was still a heroic person, even if he personally didn't feel like it. His life was turned for the better when Haggar chose him as his successor and he won the election, becoming the next mayor of Metro City. Even though he personally hasn't changed much, he has a better standing with the house nowadays.
  • Given his pragmatism, Cody is prone to fighting with either a pipe or a knife and he is pretty effective with both. It is said that he got some pointers from Leon Kennedy and became a lot more proficient with the latter weapons, to the point that even Kano started respecting the good ol' mayor. Of course, Cody wants nothing but to bash Kano's skull since he knows what kind of dirty snake he is.
  • While he is a good meaning person, his job as a mayor sometimes is less than stellar, as he tends to get bored and doze off in office. That's why Haggar assigned Cody a secretary that would keep him in line. He's been trying to get some pointers from other people but the best he found was the Mayor of Townsville, who is notoriously incompetent enough to make Cody look reasonable by comparison. He also found it interesting that Ms. Bellum resembles his secretary Marlowe quite a bit.
    Cody: Driving it home pretty thick there, Haggar.
    • However, thanks to the Mayor, he has been able to be in contact with the Powerpuff Girls, and they have been of great help for Cody when it comes to dealing with the loose crooks in Metro City. The three girls were a bit surprised when Mayor Cody would sometimes joins the to fight bad guys, and also when finding out that he was formerly an inmate (although he was wrongly convicted at the time), or even learning how before that, he was considered one of the heroes of his city. To them, it looks like he's becoming that last one again, but he still thinks that's an exaggeration.
  • Ever since gaining the role of Mayor, Cody has pondered about how he would be able to deal with those who he can't quite reach like he used to when he was a vigilante. However, given his political position, he made an effort in trying to confronting the more corrupt political side whenever possible. However, he usually ends up trying to fight them when he is given the chance, but more pacifistic political deities have tried to get him in line, with little success so far.
    • Mayor Richard Wilkins and Ethan Roark Senior were the first ones that ticked off Cody the wrong way, their corruption allowed their city to be filled with even more criminals and monsters making the old Metro City of the past look peaceful by comparison. He is trying to contain his anger to punch them right in their face and try to shut them down with other methods after some members of the GUAG have warned him that they aren't easy to take down.
    • On the hand there was Senator Armstrong, a man who preached that Cody was outstanding symbol of how a leader should be. But mostly, Armstrong praised Cody's strength as a fighter and even faced him in one on one to see how strong he really was. Armtrong held back a little but was not dissapointed in the mayor display of strength and approved of Haggar for choosing a worthy successor, even trying to recruit Cody for GUAC since he knew that the man preferred more pragmatic methods instead of being held back by laws. In the end Cody refused, stating that Armstrong is another darwinist lunatic and that he wants to leave his past behind to change for the better.
  • One day, a bored Cody stumbled upon Black Canary and he started hitting on her. While initially she and Green Arrow weren't very amused by it, Cody admitted the only reason he did that was because Dinah reminded him of his ex-girlfriend Jessica and stopped doing that after a while. They remained on good terms after that, sometimes he calls both Dinah and Oliver to deal with some matters in Metro City that he can't quite do himself.
  • While initially they were rivals, given them being cops and all, eventually Cody came to respect Axel, Adam and Blaze since he too stopped a criminal syndicate from taking over his city too. Now as a mayor and no longer a convict, Cody is in much friedlier terms with them, even aiding the trio in their endeavors against Mr. X.
  • Some deities from the House of Combat Wrestling have found that Cody resembles Kenny Omega a lot and have tried to challenge him to a Wrestling Match. Fortunately for him, he has learned a few moves from Haggar and held his own against many of the deities from the House, but he usually prefers to fight differently and often brings his Pipe along. After all, he is not the God of Pragmatic Combat for nothing.
    • That said, out of all the wrestlers who are out for him, it's Xavier Woods of the New Day, who he's been making challenges from wrestling to video games.
  • "Desk work just isn't my thing, you know? Looks like I can have a little fun now".

    Dudley 

"Let's fight like gentlemen!"

Sir Dudley, God of Those Who Fight Like Gentlemen (A Ravishing Star in the Sky of Battle, The Righteous Boxer)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/dudley_5.png
  • Lesser God
  • Symbol: His Blue Boxing Gloves next to the Victory Rose
  • Theme Music: Leave Alone (Rare, UK House Mix), You Blow My Mind (Main Street, Fist Fighting Gentleman*, Gloved Driver*)
  • Alignment: Neutral Good
  • Portfolio: Those Who Fight Like Gentlemen (Namer of the Trope), Quintessential British Gentlemen, Blue Boxing Gloves, Cultured Badasses, Genius Bruisers, Cool Cars, Corkscrew Blow, Use of Punches in Fights, Roses, Counter Attack That Takes Damage to Perform, Cool Spots Inside Brash Personalities, Those Dressed With Impeccable Taste, Tea Drinkers
  • Domains: Boxing, Class, Tea, Roses, Cars, Gentlemen
  • Herald: Ortho K. Gotch (his butler)
  • High Priest: Mickey Rogers
  • Allies: Elena, Ryu, Alex, Iroh, Hershel Layton, Little Mac, Glass Joe, Alex Louis Armstrong, Akihiko Sanada of S.E.E.S, Mary Lennox, Rocky Balboa, T.J. Combo, Rashid, Apollo Creed
  • Worthy Opponent: Many of the ascended boxers from Punch-Out!!
  • Enemies: Balrog (his Evil Counterpart), Vega, M. Bison, Gill
  • Not to be confused with: Dudley Dursley (who ironically has taken up boxing)
  • Dudley is a Street Fighter from the next generation, a boxer who was once born to a wealthy family. His father was a successful boxer turned businessman, until the family fortune suddenly vanished. Dudley became determined to follow his father's footsteps to restore his family's prestige and became quite successful. He still fights in the ring to improve his skills, while still acting like a modern British gentleman all the while.
  • Accompanied fellow Goddess Elena in a quest to retrieve Pandora's Box. He really wasn't interested in the box itself (or about the situation in general), but wanted to make sure Elena was alright in their mission. In the end, he took a piece of the Pandrora's Box and buried it in his humongous rose garden, which blooms spectacular flowers to this day. (Just ask Iroh and Professor Layton after he invited them over for tea in his garden.) When he came to the Pantheon, Elena burst with joy along with her good friends Gentaro and Pinkie Pie, welcoming him with a celebratory party. He was very happy to find the Kenyan girl safe and sound and even laughed over the idea of her and Gentaro becoming a couple (Elena was quick to tell him that they're Just Friends).
  • Has a strong enmity with Balrog, as he considers the God of Dirty Boxers as a bad influence in the Pantheon and does not consider him a true boxer and that enmity has reached a boiling point now that the two of them are in the same house. However, after he learned the story about how he had a breaking out with a boy named Ed, Dudley felt absolute pity for Balrog and wonders if it's possible for someone like Balrog to actually have feelings other than greed in his heart. When Balrog and Ed had a championship match against one another, Dudley watched with keen interest, and found himself impressed when the battle not only came out a draw, but one where both fighters ultimately enjoyed the match more than anything. Now Dudley acknowledges that there is a true boxer's spirit in Balrog underneath all his loathsome qualities. He respects him, but still has no intention to ever lose to him.
  • Found himself as a mentor figure to Little Mac, amazed by the young boy's determination and never-give-up attitude. Also is willing to have tea and croissants with Glass Joe, and is willing to also mentor the Frenchman into becoming a better boxer, praising on how Glass Joe is still able to keep fighting despite his 1-99 win-lose record. Gods like to note that he is the counterpart of Soda Popinski due to them being boxers with an affinity for a particular drink (Tea for Dudley, Soda for Popinski). Dudley has politely put down Popinski's request on trying his soda though.
  • His mansion is one of the most luxurious in all the Pantheon, and has an extensive collection of Cool Cars along with the above mentioned rose garden.
  • For some odd reason, he has one of Freddie Mercury's outfits. Dudley states that he actually is a fan of his music, and Freddie himself enjoys having tea with the boxer.
  • Harry Potter was a bit hesitant about interacting with Dudley at first, due to how his name and profession reminded him of his piggish cousin. However, the two got to know each other better through some tea. Also had to tell Matt and Jeff Hardy (along with Edge and Christian) that no, he's not related to a Tag Team known as "The Dudley Boyz". Speaking of Matt Hardy, he has no idea what to think of Matt's BROKEN/WOKEN appearance and attitude and would like to say less about Matt's accent.
    • And then Harry's cousin, and parents, ascended into the Pantheon. Vernon has to admit that Dudley is a respectable gentlemen, and the boxer is glad to know that Harry and his cousin have a better bond with one another after Harry saved Dudley (Dursley) from a Dementor attack.
  • Is never seen without his blue boxing gloves on, and is capable of grooming himself and sipping tea with them. Unlike with Strong Bad, no god asks how he's able to type with boxing gloves on, seeing as it would be too un-gentleman like to ask such a thing.
  • Was amazed to find Alex make his way to the Pantheon, and the two have planned to bring in the Street Fighter III fighters to ascend. Elena has also agreed to join them - after all, many of them are her good friends!
  • Found an unusual goddess by the name of Mary Lennox enter his temple, asking if she could "Have a little earth". Dudley agreed that she could, and Mary now takes care of his rose garden.
  • Doesn't like the Death Battles that his fellow gods get subjected to, but when he learned that Balrog was fighting his follower TJ Combo, he decided to help train Combo for the bout. He was happy to learn TJ Combo winning...not so happy about how it ended with Balrog (literally) losing his head. Fortunately, Wiz and Boomstick came prepared as usual and Balrog was resurrected post-haste, mainly so he could live up to his word and sanction TJ's promotion to godhood as the condition of his victory. Dudley was proud of his now-former follower for ascending to his own temple, and the two can often be found sparring together, although the gentleman still is unnerved at the whole beheading thing.
  • Has become closer to Rocky, who says Dudley reminds him of his late friend, Apollo Creed. He was quite proud of hearing about Rocky's training of Apollo's son, Adonis, and is willing to train the boy even further. He was also quick to invite Apollo for tea in his temple when the latter ascended.
  • Never without his loyal butler by his side, he has met up with fellow Street Fighter Rashid, who also has fellow butler, Azam, with him. Apparently both butlers are part of a Butler's Association. They've also both had their run-ins with Gill's organization, members of whom they were NOT HAPPY to find in the Pantheon. Dudley's still bitter about how Gill took his father's car, and Rashid still remembers the unpleasant encounter he had in Russia with Urien and a woman who he now knows is Kolin. They're keeping a sharp eye on these folks and have agreed to work together to help fight them when need be.
  • "Keep it classy!"

  • Tiny Tiger is among the various evolved animals created by Dr. Cortex and N. Brio and this Tasmanian tiger is among the most loyal to Cortex overall (even if he didn't originally work with him a first). He is very muscular in appearance and has plenty of physical strength (not to mention surprisingly agile despite what his tiny legs may suggest), but is far from intelligent. He is only capable of speaking in third person, is prone to breaking things by accident, and is very much just a mindless beast.
  • A gladiator arena was suddenly set-up one day in the Pantheon, prompting a number of deities eager for battle to step in and see what challenges await. What they ended up witnessing was an agile beast with plenty of strength to give some of these combatants some trouble. At some point, the beast known as Tiny, saw Crash enter the arena after the latter was told that Cortex was planning something again and Tiny immediately went on the offensive to get rid of the bandicoot. Although Crash wasn't that smart in comparison, he was still able to defeat Tiny once more, with the arena they were at crumbling down as a result of Tiny's recklessness. Crash was able to get out of there, though Tiny ended up in Cortex's ownership once more with the Tasmanian tiger vowing to destroy Crash once more.
  • It took a bit of time for another gladiator arena dedicated to fighting Tiny to get built. In any case, it still remains a good spot for certain deities to try and challenge a muscular and agile beast. In some instances, a few deities ended up getting kidnapped by an outside force and put inside that arena to try and fight Tiny. Maximus is among those who have ended up in Tiny's gladiator arena one way or another and has engaged in fighting against the Tasmanian tiger as a means to escape.
  • Many have seen Tiny as a counterpart to Crunch Bandicoot on the grounds of being a muscular and not having the best intelligence out of the respective teams they're on. Tiny has even stated at one point that Crunch was just a softie in comparison and it's believed that Crunch sees Tiny as what the bandicoot could have become if he remained allies with Dr. Cortex. If given the chance (which hasn't happened thus far), Tiny would be willing to beat up Crunch and send him back to Dr. Cortex to try and get the Bandicoot back on Cortex's side via some brainwashing method.
  • Being a creature from Tasmania, many wanted to try and get Tiny to meet up with the Tasmanian Devil to see how they would get along, partially motivated by the fact that someone mistakenly referred to Tiny as Taz Tiger at one point. This didn't really happen until Cortex was busy musing to himself about what kind of plan to defeat Crash and co should he come up with next. In that interim, Tiny and Taz ended up having their meeting, with both of them being a bit confused about the other at first. Taz ended up thinking that Tiny was a stronger-looking version of Crash despite the fact that they're different creatures and Tiny ended up attempting to attack Taz. Chaos ensued and by the time things were fixed, Tiny and Taz have already shown that they would attack each other if they were to meet again.
  • Kalibak ended up running into Tiny while the former was performing a mission to try and get the respect from Darkseid that he wanted. Kalibak ended up fighting a foe that had no connection to Tiny in any way and failed at it. After getting defeated, Kalibak tried to talk to Tiny in the hopes that someone can understand his plight. Although Tiny was not exactly a cohesive talker, what Kalibak could gather was that Tiny was loyal to Cortex and despite a number of failures, the Tasmanian tiger hasn't gotten on Cortex's bad side to inflict a variety of punishment unlike Darkseid who doesn't tolerate failure from his subordinates, especially from someone like Kalibak. Tiny and Kalibak parted on good terms with the latter thinking that Tiny will provide a bit of extra strength to help Kalibak get out of trouble.
  • Dr. Cortex originally wanted Crash to lead the Cortex Commandos before the latter escaped and subsequently became Cortex's arch-nemesis. Although the idea for the Cortex Commandos has mostly been abandoned, Tiny being the most loyal animal towards Cortex has led a few to believe that Tiny could fit the potential position of leading the Cortex Commandos. Him sometimes being seen wearing a military uniform and going to the House of War to check in on some strong soldiers would have bolstered that idea if it weren't for the fact that people have said that his commands during those visits are simplistic at best.
  • If he's not working alongside Dr. Cortex, then Tiny will sometimes make a series of fitness videos known as "Tiny-Bo". He also has a series of fitness chains set up in the Pantheon that allows some deities to try out his own brand of fitness. These fitness chains also sell a lemongrass and avocado protein drink, which has proven popular amongst those who have tried it. Wii Fit Trainer is among those who have tried out Tiny-Bo for themselves and they have apparently stated that it's something others should look into.
  • More than a handful of deities have seen Kronk and Tiny as sort of opposites towards each other as far as muscular idiots are concerned. Whereas Kronk was too good-hearted to get involved with working for someone evil and rightfully (if in a weird sort of way) cut all ties with his former boss, Tiny is someone who might be even dumber than Kronk in terms of intelligence and has remained a faithful ally to Dr. Cortex. Kronk did try to communicate with Tiny at one point and although the conversation between them was a bit weird, Kronk thinks that Tiny isn't a completely bad creature.
  • While many know him to be a Tasmanian tiger, some deities have claimed to see an anthropomorphic Siberian tiger calling himself Tiny running around in the Pantheon. Unlike the idiotic Tiny that most are familiar with, Tiny the Siberian Tiger is smarter in comparison, but has a much campier attitude. There hasn't really been much of a point in asking the Tasmanian tiger about that Siberian tiger given how much of an idiot the Tasmanian tiger is to begin with.
  • As much as Tiny is incredibly loyal to Dr. Cortex, there was one instance where Aku Aku and Uka Uka got into conflict and Tiny was drafted into the former's side to balance the odds. While that instance wasn't really documented that much, it supposedly ended with Tiny forgetting that he was working with Dr. Cortex and his cohorts. This did bring up an idea amongst certain deities that would involve attempting to get Tiny on the side of good through various means, but it's not something that's expected to be put into action or even succeed if an attempt is made.

  • Domains: War, Personal Appearance, Villainy
  • High Priest: Juda
  • Followers: Zhang He, Cody Rhodes
  • Allies:
  • Enemies:
  • Interested in: Sakura Kasugano, Elena
  • Conflicting Opinion on: AJ Styles
  • Not a rather welcome addition in the House of Personal Appearance, as Vega boasts he's more beautiful than most of the looking Gods/Goddesses and pretty much insults those known for their not-so-beauty. He finds more home here.
  • About one way to get yourself mutilated with multiple claw strikes is to strike touch that mask of his. Worse yet, his actual face.
  • Joined fellow God and Shadaloo member Balrog in a quest to retrieve the Pandora's Box. Their personalities really clashed with each other during the road.
  • Once remarked that Kyo Kusanagi was beautiful. Kyo's reaction... wasn't a pleasant one.
  • Had an unpleasant encounter with Reika. Vega has thought that she is a beautiful girl, but once Reika called him out that his 'beautiful' face doesn't cover his dark, and in her words, ugly heart, Vega flipped off badly and the two have been enemies ever since.
    • Also mocked Eikichi Mishina for being fat in his younger days, thus Eikichi insults him back with how much he's completely so not dead sexy and both share their mutual disgust.
  • Vega made an alliance with Kuja, The Evil Queen and Queen Sectonia known as "The Rule of Beauty". Whilst they often argue over who is the most beautiful of them all, they are willing to put that aside to defeat anyone who thinks they are better than them; or in Vega's case, just kill and/or mutilate anyone who he thinks is ugly.
    • Was utterly insulted when Sho Minamimoto tried to claim that he was more beautiful than any of them. This lead to a fight between the group and Sho, but the battle was cut short when Sho decided he had better things to do. Vega personally promised that he will tear off his face if he tries this again.
  • Despite having an animosity upon most of the Street Fighters, he has a soft spot for two in particular: Sakura Kasugano and Elena. For the former, he doesn't want to have to kill her prior to her reaching her fullest potential, and he actually wants to have a friendship with the latter. For the time being, neither girls have no idea what to think about it but Elena is considering about opening up to him.
  • He and Balrog joined Bison in a feud with another Four Heavenly Kings group due to that group's counterpart to their newest member refusing to join Shadaloo in F.A.N.G.'s temporary stead.
  • Zarbon, another avid practitioner of the art of being a beautiful man of violence, used to be a follower of Vega's until being called by his master to ascend as the God of Attractive Right Hands. Nowadays they engage in a Friendly Rivalry over who is more beautiful.
  • Has a follower named Cody Rhodes who's part of a wrestling faction which ran afoul of the fraternity that includes AJ Styles. Cody and AJ have yet to meet in the ring, though they have had a tense encounter at the Pantheon Square while heading into the Garden for a big show. Vega, for his part, considered Styles' thick regional accent repugnant, but gives him a pass for his flowing hair and smooth-yet-crisp in-ring fighting style.
    • Speaking of Cody, he couldn't help but notice people commenting on the devil hunter Nero's new appearance and how similar he looks to The American Nightmare. After observing him in action, he thinks Nero is a crass brute. However, he has taken note of Nero's girlfriend, seeing that she has undergone suffering… and he'd like to see how far the beauty of her pain can be taken… Needless to say, Nero has threatened to destroy him if he ever comes anywhere near Kyrie.
  • He currently has his hands on valuable data taken from the S.I.N. HQ during Seth's downfall that could potentially enable him to achieve immortality in the mortal plane in the same vain as M. Bison. As Chun-Li also has a copy of this data, Vega is planning on rectifying his past attempt to kill her.
  • Despite how it may seem, Vega has grown rather tired of the wealthy lifestyle and has found money and power to be a ugly combination. He may even have plans of his own now that Bison's physically out of the picture in the mortal plane if eye-witness reports of seeing Vega throwing away his mask in the inferno of the Shadaloo Base are to be believed.
