  • The Seven Heavenly Virtues have the reputation of being the most unusual and unconventional group of Angels to be ever introduced in the Pantheon, because a) they consistently fail to live up to the Virtues they represent and b) they all wear skimpy clothes. When they entered the Pantheon, they all engaged in crazy antics, trying to train their chosen candidates to be the Messiah. Most people ignored them, given that such events were commonplace in the Pantheon, although some of the more perverted deities couldn't help but stare lewdly at the Virtues. After all was said and done, the Virtues were accepted without further trouble.
  • Upon their arrival, they discovered several alternate versions of the God they serve were already present in the Pantheon, such as Eru Ilúvatar, Aslan and the Love that Moves the Stars, and pledged their loyalty to them within the blink of an eye. They were also invited to the Hall of Angels for their efforts in finding the Messiah and trying to live among humans. They were even surprised to find there was already a version of Michael in the Pantheon. The veteran Michael agreed to become a mentor to the Virtues, especially to the female Michael, who still struggled between law and Good. Both Tyrael and Manwë have agreed to teach the Virtues in the ways of the Pantheon as well.
    • They agree with Michael's ideal that Virtue cannot exist without Free Will, which is why they stand in opposition to YHVH and his lackeys, especially his most loyal Angel Metatron, who creeps the female Metatron out to no end. Michael, more than the other Virtues, hates Metatron for showing her an alternate reality where she accepted her God's order to destroy mankind. After that event, she has taken steps to ensure she does not stray from the path of Virtue like her Alternate Self. Despite their enmity with YHVH's forces, however, they think twice before working alongside Lucifer; while he might champion free will, they are always quick to question the morality of his actions.
  • Anyone who follows the path of Virtue will become an immediate ally to the Virtues, including legendary superheroes like Superman, Captain America and Spider-Man. The Angels sometimes entertain the idea of training them to be Messiah Candidates, but ultimately dissuade the notions, as they already have their hands full with their current Candidates. At the very least, they offered their support against the High Councilor; especially Michael, who knows what it's like to have an Evil Twin.
  • Melkor is high on their hit list, alongside YHVH, and the Virtues always take the opportunity to berate him for betraying his family for his own pride and ambition. Sauron of Mordor is also one of the Virtues' greatest enemies, as his love for order and perfection caused him to stray from the path of Virtue and pervert everything the Ainur were supposed to uphold. The Virtues are also horrified to learn of Aku, a Japanese demon who successfully conqured the world, and fear something like that would happen if they failed in their quest to find a suitable Messiah. They are further dismayed to learn of people like Emperor Palpatine and Isaac Westcott, who are entirely human despite their impressive powers.
  • They have become very attached to Shido Itsuka and Lux Arcadia after learning of their benevolent and righteous attitudes. They are also aware of Shido's origins as a Spirit-human hybrid. The Virtues always invite Shido, Lux and their harems for huge parties in their temple.
  • Being literal Angels of the Lord, the Virtues do their best to cheer up Timmy Turner and protect him from abusive parental figures and any kinds of evil adults in the Pantheon. The Virtues were absolutely horrified to learn Jorgan Von Strangle once gave him a vision of an alternate reality where everyone would be better off if he wasn't born. Jorgan attempted to defend himself, saying he wanted to teach Timmy about doing the right thing without expecting a reward, but the Virtues would have none of it, pointing out the near-sadistic glee he took at Timmy's visible suffering. Uriel capped off the Virtues' disgust with one final statement:
    "We could be assholes like you, but we don't like hurting other people's feelings."
  • Another child under their protection is Charlie Brown. Despite the constant misery the universe piles on him, he never gives up trying to do the right thing, something the Virtues can relate to.
  • Sam and Dean Winchester dimiss the Virtues' efforts to help them in the demon-hunting duties, considering no better than the angels than live in their universe. For their part, the Virtues have long given up on helping the Winchesters, dismissing them as self-righteous jerks who care about their own personal vendetta over the world they've sworn to protect. They aren't too fond of James Bond, either. Much like M, the Angels think he is a "sexist, misogynist dinosaur" who is willing to sleep with women to get what he needs. Bond, not a stranger to petty insults, ignores them. Hilariously, some deities believe the Virtues, Michael and Uriel especially, might not be entirely immune to 007's boyish charms. The Virtues embarrassingly denied that notion, but Sariel is willing to give Bond a chance to prove his worth. They don't look forward to working with the Spectre, who takes his job very seriously and is an even bigger Hero with an F in Good than they are. Michael at least tries to give him the benefit of the doubt because she knows how hard it is to keep one's faith in a world constantly threatened by sin and evil.
  • Don't exactly see eye to eye with the Friends crew because their tropes are almost similar. They do, however, respect each other and the Virtues feel bad that Joey's spin-off didn't actually work out. Also, they work together to undermine the Seinfeld crew whenever they get the chance. The Virtues think that Jerry and his friends are miserable and lousy excuses for human beings and do not deserve salvation, but they do agree that the punishment they suffer at the end of their story falls flat because a) they didn't learn anything from the experience and b) they were indirectly punished by people even worse than they are.
  • Exclusive to Michael:
    • An accomplished swordswoman, Michael is always willing to accept challenges from worthy sword-wielding heroes, like Link and Samurai Jack. She is impressed by Link's courage and tenacity in the face of overwhelming odds and praises Jack for succeeding in his quest to destroy Aku, even if he had to overcome a period of depression. As someone who struggles with her faith, Michael sympathizes with Optimus Prime when she heard of his own crisis of faith.
    • When she has free time, Michael likes to go to the House of Food and eat lots of omelettes. There, she came across Tohka Yatogami and Celestia Ralgris and quickly befriended them after hearing of their stories. Michael praises the two girls for their sword skills and loyalty to Shido and Lux, considering them true embodiments of faith.
  • Exclusive to Uriel:
    • Despite her position as the Angel of Patience, Uriel actually has a short temper according to and doesn’t have the patience to pause and reconsider her actions due to how stubbornly she sticks to them, even if they inconvenience her or others. To solve this, the Grand United Alliance of Good advised her to visit Princess Zelda. Despite some initial difficulty, the Angel of Patience and the Princess of Hyrule ultimately became friends. Uriel came to admire Zelda's wisdom and devotion to Link and regularly asks her for advice on how to improve her relationship with her Candidate.
    • An ability Uriel has but almost never uses is the power of fire. Uriel's time in the Pantheon has allowed her to further develop this skill and her time in the GUAG earned her the friendship of space pilot Mirage Farina Jenius. Feeling a strange kinship, Uriel and Mirage promised to work together in the battlefield. Uriel feels a bit sorry that Mirage lost in her show's Love Triangle, but Mirage assures her she has moved on.
    • As an intelligence officer, Uriel is pretty good at bureaucracy. While she won't say no to a mission that specifically requires her presence, she feels more comfortable in the GUAG's headquarters, handling all the paperwork. "The GUAG will stand or fall on the strength of its internal administration", she says.
  • Exclusive to Raphael:
    • She might not look like it, but Raphael is actually the most socially adept of the Virtues. Despite her fondness for her Candidate, she knew that training him as a Messiah would likely get in the way of his dream of becoming a master pastry chef, so she erased his memories of her. For that, she earned Tenri Ayukawa's respect. She also became friends with Mayuri, who made a sacrifice of the literal kind to save Shido Itsuka.
    • Amazed to find deities within the Pantheon that share her voice and dedicates a lot of her free time to have fun alongside them. Raphael and Fuuka get along swimmingly, while Azura thinks Raphael could learn to take things a bit more seriously. Lisha cannot help but feel jealous towards Raphael, for, well…
  • Exclusive to Sandalphon
    • Sandalphon is interested in the fields of science, so it's no surprise that she spends more time in the House of Science than in her temple. While she can develop small devices like hand-held computers, phones and even small grenades, larger devices are more complicated and most of the time they end up exploding. Seeing her enthusiasm and dedication for science, the Philanthropists of Benevolent Science have accepted her as their protegé.
    • Being the twin sister of Metatron, Sandalphon constantly worries for her sister's psychological state and has already given a warning to House of Health and Diseases to see if there is something they can do to help her.
  • Exclusive to Metatron
    • Being the Angel of Charity, it is no surprise that Metatron is dedicated to the arts of medicine. Unfortunately, she has no firsthand knowledge of the human world and and often gets tricked because she naively trusts anyone. J.D. and Turk were quick to befriend Metatron and try to make sure she doesn't fall in with the wrong crowd. Easier said than done, however, as the Sacred Heart doctors are not paragons of fair judgment either, leading to a lot of misadventures for the three.
    • Her work amongst the Pantheon gods led Metatron to meet other famous doctors like Gregory House and Leonard McCoy. Metatron does not enjoy her time with House; although she respects his skills as a doctor, she is not fond of his bad attitude and smug self-righteousness. On the other hand, Dr. House doesn't like Metatron either, thinking her to be a naive goody-two-shoes. She prefers to spend more time with McCoy, who despite his own grumpiness, does have the qualities Metatron desires in a mentor.
    • Under normal circumstances, Metatron is gentle and benevolent, but she harbors a split personality that enjoys causing pain to other people. This split personality usually manifests when Metatron is holding a syringe and many evil-aligned gods, such as Nurse Ratched, Sofia Lamb, Carnage and the Joker seek to corrupt Metatron by exposing her split personality to more varied forms of depravity. The other Virtues make sure to keep them away from Metatron as much as possible.
    • The sadistic Metatron gets along swimmingly with the Medic, who enjoys getting organs and causing bloodshed. The nice Metatron, on the other hand, would rather stay away from him, especially when she heard that he made a deal with The Devil in exchange for his soul. Then, when his contract was about to expire, he then tricked The Devil signing an another contract, this time, in exchange for his teammates' souls just so The Medic could become immortal all by himself. Doing that was extremely risky and could have easily backfired.
  • Exclusive to Gabriel
    • Obsessed with chastity, Gabriel does not tolerate what she believes are acts of perversion or sexual decadences. She spends most of her time yelling at the more lustful deities to stop their wrongful acts. Most of these deities, like James Bond and the Highschool DxD deities, ignore her, thinking her to be just a nuisance. Some of the more reasonable deities, like Kaito Kirishima, Ichika Takatsuki, Ichiro Sato and Ryoko Sato, at least listen to their advice and Gabriel does give them the benefit of the doubt. They're just teenagers, they won't be doing sexual acts anytime soon.
    • Gabriel completely approves of Ash Ketchum and Ichika Orimura, accepting them as embodiments of chastity. She does, however, question their ability to garner multiple love ineterests despite their lack of experience with love.
    • Getting tired of her constant preaching about chastity, the deities of the Hall of Tainted Love decided to kidnap her. The Virtues, and almost everyone in the House of Love and Affection, quickly saved her.
  • Exclusive to Sariel:
    • As the oldest of the Angels, Sariel tries to act like a mother to the group. "Tries" being the keyword here. Sariel is actually obsessed with the pleasures of the flesh and has earned the attractions of many male deities over the Pantheon. She has enjoyed quite a few nights of passion with James T. Kirk and has even taken Bond on his offer to prove his boyish charms, to the embarrassment of Michael and Gabriel. One particular god called Lavernius Tucker attempted to woo Sariel, an act that his fellow Red vs. Blue deities believed was doomed to fail. Fortunately, Sariel saw right through Tucker's charade and gave him what he wanted. Tucker's screams were the stuff of legends.
    "Woo-hoo! I banged an angel! Bow-Chicka-Bow-Wow!"
    • Tucker's friends, especially Epsilon and Washington were shocked beyond words. Sariel's friends, however, were not.
    • Good friends with Power Girl and the Dark Magician Girl for their pride and lack of shame in their physical beauties. She did gain some unwanted attention in the form of Aphrodite, who thought the Angel of Kindness would try to steal her position as the Pantheon's Most Beautiful Goddess. Sariel has made it clear that she has no interest in stealing Aphrodite's title, but she does joke about it, if only to get on Aphrodite's nerves.
    • Her sneezes are so powerful they can destroy city blocks. Many gods wondered if those sneezes have any practical application against the forces of evil, but Batman came up with an idea. He told the Virtues to place Sariel deep within one of the Grand United Alliance of Evil's production facilities and rubbed her nose with a feather. One sneeze later and the GUAE's supply chain was crippled big time. Melkor's screams of fury were heard from the Virtues' temple.

  • A pure and honest boy who enters the Tower in search of Rachel, the only person he has ever known during his life of isolation in a cave. Single-mindedly devoted to Rachel, Bam's goal is to reunite with her after she leaves him to climb the Tower. As an Irregular who entered the Tower on his own, Bam has exceptional potential in using shinsu that makes him the target of many people's attention. Throughout his journey, Bam makes several friends and grows both in power and character as he overcomes the Tower's many tests and obstacles.
  • Bam inadvertently entered the Pantheon through a mysterious door on the 52nd floor, and was subsequently chosen to become the God of Getting Better Power Upgrades Before Everyone Else due to a combination of being an Irregular trained by FUG higher-ups, his power to gain new techniques from watching or getting attacked by someone, and getting quite a few enhancements tied to his destiny. He's enjoyed his time since ascending, interested in meeting and befriending others not shaped by the competitiveness of the Tower. His potential has garnered the admiration of the deities in the House of Power and Abilities, with some predicting that he could ascend to Overdeity any day.
  • Due to the high concentration of shinsu as air in many parts of the Tower, Bam has encountered many Divine Sea Fish, giant floating sea creatures of which some he had to fight at times, such as the White Steel Eel and Giant Marsh Worms. It's for this reason, combined with his immense power, that he feels no fear navigating through the Hall of Aquatic Life. It's notable that even creatures like the Kraken and Duke Fishron don't try to attack Bam. They're well aware that it wouldn't take much shinsu for Bam to easily kill them if he wanted to.
  • Thanks to their similarly friendly dispositions, pure natures, and innate talent despite their ages, Bam has become good friends with Gon and also with his best friend Killua. Bam noted Killua's strong resemblance to his acquaintance Khun Ran, with the two having very similar appearances and compatibilities with electricities. Killua told Bam that he'd like to meet Ran and would be interested in the challenge of climbing the Tower, having enjoyed his time in the Heavens Arena.
  • Bam has an emnity with Mateus Palamecia, the evil ruler of the Palamecian Empire who aims to conquer the world using the forces of demons. This stems from Bam's Arch-Enemy being Jahad, the all-powerful, worshipped King of the Tower and ruler of the Jahad Empire who wants Bam, who is prophesied to slay him, dead. Thanks to the obstacles he has had to face because of Jahad, Bam has little tolerance for malevolent God Emperors and vows to stop him from reigning over all that exists. However, Mateus is not bothered by Bam's presence and considers him a mere insect in the grand scheme of his ambitions.
  • Bam's good looks, even from a young age, have caused many women to cry, which have only become more numerous since he's matured. His number of female admirers have only increased since he has ascended as a Greater God within the Pantheon, with women preferring his more long-haired look as Jue Viole Grace. Even the Chick Magnet Quintet is impressed by Bam's attractiveness towards women.
    • Word of his handsome looks have spread throughout the Princesses of the House of Royalty and more. Given Bam's seeming appeal to the Princesses of Jahad in the Tower, it's no surprise to see this same pattern again now that he's ascended to the Pantheon. Bam can only be amused by the irony of his appeal with royalty, considering that he's destined to kill a king.
  • Bam has formed a friendship with Makoto Yuki due to their similarities. Both of them are gifted with a unique power, overcame their trauma and regained their compassion, and lead a group of their friends to ascend a tower. Bam was surprised to hear of the eldritch, unpredictable nature of Tartarus through which the S.E.E.S. had to fight Shadows to climb up. Makoto, on the other hand, was in awe of what Bam told him about the Tower — a structure with over a hundred floors each with residents and tests set by Rulers for the climbers to overcome.
  • In preparation for his eventual return to his world to complete his climb, Bam has taken an interest in fully exploring the Yggdrasil Labyrinths. At the moment, he's looking for other people interested in exploring the labyrinths to form a party. As a Wave Controller with a mastery of Shinsu for large-scale destruction, he's designated himself as the "mage" of a group and has been searching for others who would fulfill different roles. He's also quite intrigued by the Abyss, and is considering in venturing through it after completing the Yggdrasil Labyrinths and training even more to become strong enough to survive the Unholy Death World.
  • Bam holds Alpheus, the World Forger, in high regard. As a former Slayer candidate of FUG, Bam was chosen by the secretive criminal syndicate to overthrow the Ten Great Families and kill Jahad, the worshipped god-king. Alpheus himself was forced to fight and try to kill his mother Perpetua, the first creator of the Multiverse. As someone prophesied to kill Jahad and who understands the gravity of defeating an all-powerful being, Bam has a respect for Alpheus for even deciding to end his own mother. He also wants to learn more about the Overdeity's powers over dark matter and incorporate it into his shinsu, already able to create a Shinsu Blackhole Sphere.
  • Bam has gained quite the fashionable wardrobe from getting new clothes picked out by Ha Jinsung every season that are sent to him. Even now that he's ascended to the Pantheon, his mentor still wants him to look just as good. From time to time, Bam can be seen visiting the Costumes picking out new clothes to wear, with a preference for fashionable button-ups. Thanks to his nice wardrobe collection, Bam is considered one of the most stylish deities in the House of Power.
  • Bam has a low opinion of Penelope Mouse for betraying her allies due to becoming greedy and envious of Sly Cooper's reputation. Her fall into greed and jealousy over Sly's reputation reminds Bam all too much of Rachel, who despite taking care of Bam and being the first person he ever met manipulated him and betrayed him to die all in her obsession to reach the top of the Tower. Even after rejecting Rachel's ideals and accepting her corruption, he still dislikes individuals similar to her. It's for this reason to he avoids going to the Halls of Tainted Friendship and Traitor Archetypes to avoid encountering her.
  • He's formed an Odd Friendship with Naofumi, a formerly idealistic hero who got falsely accused of rape and society repressed in him in turn to the point of turning him into a pragmatic, distrustful, and cynical man, over their shared trauma due to a culture of manipulation and mistrust. Naofumi respects Bam for his resilience, impressed that he was able to overcome his Break the Cutie moments better than himself. Speaking with Naofumi has arised from Bam mixed feelings about getting revenge against the people in the Tower who have wronged him, unsure about whether or not he should go through with them after hearing about Naofumi's own experiences with vengeance.
    • Hearing about Malty S Melromarc from Naofumi has made Bam form an extremely low opinion of the vile princess. He thought Rachel was bad, but was mortified to hear about Malty falsely accusing him of raping and sadistically antagonizing Naofumi, abusing her status to ruin others' lives, and trying to take the throne of Melromarc. Learning about Malty made Bam much more empathetic towards Naofumi's cynicism.
  • He can relate to Vash the Stampede's challenges of being hunted down for his abilities. Like Bam, Vash has taken a more pacifistic approach and genuinely tries to avoid killing as much as possible, though the world makes him suffer for it as bounty hunters keep attacking him relentlessly for the money due to the Crapsack World they live in. They also bonded over dealing with being literal Living Weapons, with Vash's body technically being a gun with his arm turning into the Angel Arm, and Bam a living Ignition Weapon with the Thorn and Black March inside his body. Talking with the more experienced Vash about this has helped Bam better understand his powers.
  • Bam gets along well with Gentaro Kisaragi for their similar loyal nature that compels them to fight on behalf of their friends. But while Bam's friendships give him the strong motivation to fight enemies and learn new techniques, Bam was surprised to learn that in Gentaro's world, friendship gives him actual new powers, and even lose transformations with the loss of friendships. In spite of their different temperaments, the two are good friends and glad to have befriended each other, with Bam and Gentaro always eager to make new friends.
  • He can also be found in Power Gains and Losses.
  • "Stars, thrones, skies, the Outside World, I don't need any of those things. But if someone tries to hurt someone precious to me, I will fight."

  • Intermediate God (though he can reach Greater God with Magia Erebea activated).
  • Symbol: The Gravity Sword surrounded by Hula Hoops
  • Theme Music: Happy Material (UQ Holder ver.) (shared with his UQ Holder teammates), Shinken Shoubu
  • Alignment: Neutral Good

  • Domains: Immortality, Magic, Swordsmanship, Combat
  • Heralds: Evangeline A.K. McDowell/Yukihime, Kirie Sakurame, Kuromaru Tokisaka, Karin Yuuki
  • Followers: Chloe Frazer, Jane, Miguel O'Hara, Ichiban Kasuga
  • Allies:
  • Enemies: The Mage of the Beginning, Vaas Montenegro, Melkor, Bambi "Buck" Hughes, Hoyt Volker, Amon, Quan Chi, Zobek, Shinnok, Ryoma Sengoku/Kamen Rider Duke, Dracula, Baby
  • Originally ascended alongside Avatar Korra due to the fact he's practically the polar opposite of his predecessor. Touta and Korra became good friends while sharing the same temple and remained so after Korra obtained a new seat all her own in a different house — twice — and moved out of his place the second time.
  • Touta was surprised to see Negi and others in their younger forms in the Pantheon. One particular twist that caught him off guard was finding out that Negi was part of the Chick Magnet Quartet. Another was just how much Konoka and Setsuna look like Honoka and Isana, to the point he actually thought they were the Konoe girls from his time.
  • Evangeline/Yukihime is happy to know that he ascended, seeing as he is her only admitted soft spot. Touta is currently trying to get Yukihime to acknowledge him more. Some think it's because he has a crush on her. He initially denied it but later admitted it himself. He then decided to propose to her right in the open much to her embarrassment.
  • Touta was a little disgruntled to hear that he was actually some type of mixed clone of Negi and Asuna. He has made friends with other artifical humans such as Luke (another clone of someone else) and Sophie. That said, he has volunteered to help the Quartet and their fellow Relationship Enhancers save Negi from the Mage of the Beginning, the very being he was created to kill, after having not only encountered the Mage with Negi's possessed body firsthand but also received Yukihime's hold notice regarding his crush on her.
  • He's currently training in the House of Fighting and Combat in order to improve his skills, his Healing Factor and more importantly master the Magia Erebrea and Magic Cancel inside him. He uses multiple hula hoops in order to control his magic. Most of it is facilitated or commissioned by Yukihime, but on a few occasions his training has coincided with that of his then-seat partner Korra. He's also trained with plenty of others as well, including Asuka, Mana, Luke, Sophie, Naruto, Jotaro, and shortly after the latter's ascension, Blade. Many of them either have friends in the House of Combat or go there often to keep themselves in practice.
  • Whenever one of his friends ascends he's always happy to hear about it, and he'll make sure to be the first to greet them. With Kirie and Koromaru it generally went well, Kirie even offering a rather heartwarming remark about his "competence" in the moment. Karin, though... she attacked him. Twice. First in jealousy because he ascended before her when Yukihime also ascended, then again after hearing about his proposal to Yukihime. He quickly got over it though.
  • Touta gets along pretty good with many of the younger kid deities, playing with them whenever he has the time. He's a welcome guest in the House of Childhood and Adolescence, with Anne-Marie and Baby Bink usually being among the first to greet him. When it comes to people his age and above, however, it's rumored that he's been hanging around Issei and picking up some habits as he can now perform his own version of Dress Break. Though his grandfather could do this naturally usually by sneezing.
  • Shares Korra's dislike of Amon, who regards his mixture of light and dark powers as "an abomination" and ominously considers his difficulty with said powers "a step towards justice". He and Korra have already warned Evangeline not to let the Equalist leader steal any of her crosses.
  • Considers Kamina's hypermasculine optimism and badass boasting to be hilarious and often gets involved as well just for kicks whenever they meet. He and Simon are pretty cool with each other as well, with the Digger even offering occasional romantic advice, seemingly keen on helping him out with Yukihime. Except his romantic desire and his desire to be recognized by Yukihime weren't one and the same. When he came to realize this and instead got together with Kirie, then Kuromaru and Karin as well, Simon was pressed for comment and only offered a grin of recognition.
  • Chick magnets are also Buck Hughes magnets, so it comes as no surprise Touta has heard of Bambi and his usual employers through Negi and Issei. He had the misfortune of seeing Buck, Hoyt, and Vaas at work from afar, and can't stand them anymore than his friends can.
  • Quan Chi and Shinnok have tried to come after him to steal his Magia Erebea abilities, and Count Dracula has tried to hunt him down in order to convert him to his side as a powerful fellow-daywalking ally. Fortunately, he's gotten consistent allies against both of these threats, with help from Rachel Alucard, Johnny Cage, and Asuna in the case of the evil sorcerer and fallen Elder God and Arcueid Brunestud and the Shiki duo when dealing with the King of Vampires. He could possibly take them himself using his Magia Erebea, but has taken the hint that each side's plans are most likely counting on that power and is grateful to have allies who've caught onto the same thing.
  • Ryoma Sengoku wants to try to take him and figure out how he got made so he can possibly clone him as a loyal minion, or worse, clone his abilities into himself. Upon discovering this, Yukihime has sworn to never let Sengoku touch a hair on Touta's head. He's also warned his other clone friends that Sengoku might be interested in them as well.
  • After seeing Baby ascend to the Pantheon and hearing about the Tuffle parasite's exploits, Touta fully opposes Baby due to both his similarities to and differences from the Mage, making him quite easily a worse villain although perhaps not a greater threat. This and his overall cheerful and gung-ho attitude toward challenges has earned him the favor of Goku and Vegeta. Vegeta even went so far as to name Touta as one of the ones he thinks would've made great Saiyans, earning him a place with a team initially called the Honorary Forces of Sadala, now going by the Super Warriors' Guild.
  • Brought the UQ Holder crew to a party for Korra's change of seat. At the party, interaction between Illyasviel von Einzbern, Hercules, and Greed the Avaricious led to Edward Elric figuring out that Hercules and Illya's infamous black giant Berserker were one and the same. After Illya and Herc quickly explained the concept of Servants and the Holy Grail War, Touta (along with Korra) instantly decided, much to the chagrin of their companions, that they wanted to spar with Hercules in his Mad Enhancement state in the future.

  • Touya Mochizuki was a just a normal teenager, until he was accidentally struck by lightning and killed by the God of his universe. To make up for it, God offered Touya the chance to be reborn in a magical world and also offers him a special favor: Touya asks that he be allowed to bring his Smartphone with him. God accepts Touya's choice and even gives him magic powers as a further apology for killing him. Since then, Touya has lived a good, adventurous life in the new world, maintaining peace and world between the world's nations, solving mysteries and fighting all manner of magical threats. Because he represented a trope that have gained a lot of traction in modern Japanese fiction, Touya was easily accepted into the Pantheon.
  • Upon his arrival, Touya made a lot of friends who embodied his trope, like Shido Itsuka, Ayato Amagiri and Lux Arcadia. They spent a lot of time talking about how similar and different they were from each other. He also befriended characters who embodied escapism and fun, like Superman, Luke Skywalker and Mario. Unfortunately, there are characters that failed to live up to his trope's best qualities, such as Ichika Orimura and Natsuru Senou. Touya, understanding his trope is very complex and not many people can live up to, has done what he can to help them become more popular and obtain more acceptance among general audiences. Since he was a harem protagonist, Touya became acquainted with Issei Hyodo, who constantly advises him on how to improve his relationships with his ladies. He also sympathizes with Tanukichi Okuma, who tries to maintain some semblance of sexual decency in a world where the laws of sexual decency make no sense at all. Touya is also aware that he sounds just like Shido, Issei, Ichika and Tanukichi.
  • Since he was blessed by his world's deity, Touya made allies with some of the creator gods in the Pantheon, like Eru Ilúvatar from Middle-earth and Aslan from Narnia. Touya has a lot of respect towards fatherly gods and always defers to their judgment in godly matters. However, even Touya understands not all creator gods are infallible, as the God of his world proved. Arceus, the God of the Pokemon world, can be temperamental and does not take kindly to treason, but fortunately, much like Ash Ketchum before him, Touya has proven to be a calming influence on the Alpha Pokémon.
  • Deities who seek to subjugate mortals do not impress Touya, so perhaps it is no surprise that Melkor, YHVH and Darkseid have become his enemies. Touya also does not take it kindly to humans that seek to usurp the gods, which is why Isaac Ray Pelham Wescott and Makuta Teridax have been added to his hitlist. Being a demigod, Touya exists to embody the best of both worlds and his duty is to protect deities and mortals, sometimes from each other and themselves. Such dedication earned him respect from Mata Nui.
  • Most of his magic power comes from his smartphone, which provides an Internet connection even in a medieval fantasy world. With his smartphone, Touya can cast spells, create weapons, construct structures, teleport, among others. That would make him nigh-unstoppable in his homeworld, but the Pantheon is an entirely different story, forcing Touya to constantly update his magical knowledge. To that end, he has become friends with Harry Potter, who uses his position in the House of Magic and Sorcery to help Touya further his magical studies. Harry's friend, Hermione Granger, was fascinated by Touya's smartphone and is trying her best to understands its functions.
  • Unfortunately, Touya has gained some unwanted attention in the form of Voldemort, who seeks to uncover Touya's magical secrets in an attempt to increase his power and influence within the Pantheon. Touya was attacked in his own temple by Lord Tirek, who attempted to absorb Touya's enormous magic power. Fortunately, Touya's magical reserves were so vast that it would take a long time to adversely affect him, giving Touya more than enough time to defeat Tirek and boot him out of his temple.
  • Doctor Strange isn't all too fond of Touya, because he mostly downloads his spells from information sources while Strange had to perfect skills through practice and training. Strange even referred to Touya as the magical equivalent of a Millennial. Touya don't pays Strange any attention, seeing him as old-fashioned and arrogant. They do, at least, hold some respect for each other's skills. He has a much more positive relationship with Doctor Fate and tries to help Kent Nelson maintain his humanity despite his godlike power. Fate even introduced Touya to a fellow magical god, Shiroe, known for his brilliant tactical expertise. Since he doesn't have much experience in full-scale warfare, Touya defers to Shiroe for military affairs.
  • Occasionally visits the House of Machinery and Technology for upgrades and apps for his smartphone. Many gods are fascinated by his phone have asked to borrow it to further their attempts to hybridize technology and magic. Touya reluctantly agrees, but only if it's done for peaceful purposes. Anything beyond that and he risks causing an arms' race.
  • Has the utmost respect for Kirito and Touma Kamijou, who helped shape the trope he embodies. Unfortunately, this caused a brawl between their followers. Detractors said that characters like Kirito and Touma were much better than Touya because their stories contain true tragedy and pathos and Touya was merely coasting along and pretending he knows suffering. Fortunately, Touya was able to defuse situation by stating that, yes, he got off lucky compared to Kirito and Touma and everyday, he must remind himself of how lucky he was. Touya's friends came his defense and said that Touya's story is enjoyable because it is escapism and it motivates viewers to use their imaginations and not take everything too seriously.
  • Very reluctant to go to the House of Love and Affection, as the Goddess of Love from his universe straight-up admitted she enjoys putting him in difficult situations with his love interests because it makes his story fun.

  • You can make the assumption that one would be excited to see one of their parents get married into monarchy. Such is the case for Sofia Balthazar once her mother Miranda wedded with King Roland II of Enchancia. Sure Sofia was happy to see herself in a rather privileged position... until realizing that she had to be knowledgeable and adept in magic to prove herself a legitimate princess. Thus, Sofia was enrolled into Royal Prep, being mentored and taught under the good fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather on using magic. Soon enough, she received the Amulet of Avalor, allowing her to communicate with animals and call upon the other Disney Princesses for their advice and help. As time went on, Sofia began to realize the challenges and ethics of being a princess, alongside honing her magical talents and embarking on several adventures in and out of Enchancia.
  • She ascended into the Pantheon by proving her worth as a princess and user of magic by defeating the Wicked Witch, Vor, through The Power of Love. Given the usual themes and messages Disney works tend to exhibit, Sofia was seen as one of the more triumphant examples of presenting them. Still, as a child, defeating a potential world-threatening threat doesn't mean Sofia knows everything about magic. The Pantheonic world is full of magic Sofia is rather unfamiliar with. Still, given her demeanour, she's careful to tread thin lines.
  • Sofia very quickly became a popular resident among the ascended Disney characters in the Pantheon. Obviously enough, she feels most accommodated with the Disney Princesses, given how she's actually interacted with them in her home universe. The Princesses are more than welcome to visit her during free times and to help one another, given that Sofia still keeps hold of the Amulet of Avalor.
  • She was curious to learn about the concept of Princesses of Heart, which was comprised of the Disney Princesses Sofia knows and possess pure hearts which were key to opening up Kingdom Hearts. To her surprise, she can be considered a potential candidate for the next line of the Princesses of Heart given her role as a genuine princess.
    • All things considered, she was incredibly accommodated with Sora, who has worked with and protected the Disney Princesses several times and Sora is even willing to aid her in any given quests. Sofia is more closer to Kairi as the latter is a Princess of Heart herself and that she's a Keyblade wielder in-training, which the former could see as pretty relatable. Often times than not, Sofia and Kairi would hang out with one another doing their personal hobbies together or practising their magical skills. And before someone asks, yes, Sofia has had some practice in sword fighting so she's happy to spar against Kairi and be taught in defending herself better, given Kairi's Keyblade training.
    • Her affiliation with Kairi also led Sofia to get into contact with Naminé, who easily got along with the princess and Naminé would often try to draw with the princess. Regarding combat training, Sofia takes some lessons with Pearl and Connie Maheswaran who are eager to prepare her for what dangers the Pantheon presents. Although Sofia is more content with simply mediating between being a princess and maintaining her proficiency with magic and her relationships with her friends and family.
  • Sofia and Charlotte LaBouff became very good friends with one another almost immediately. Charlotte expressed surprise on how Sofia got to be indicated into royalty upon her mother's marriage. Although she understood her desire to be a princess, Sofia did tell Charlotte about the hardships of being one. She still wishes for the best to Charlotte, who's preparing herself more for the day she becomes a princess.
  • With her ability to communicate with all kinds of animals using the Amulet of Avalor and being able to shift into other animals, Sofia is generally accepted in her visitations to the House of Beasts and Fauna and she usually has fun running and playing with the creatures there. That said, she can't transform into every animal, given that she needs to at least see an animal physically and picture it mind to assure said transformation. Rexxar and Bahamut are willing to teach her in disciplining the bestiary around, though Sofia has other matters to tend to for the time being.
    • There are malicious beasts — such as Dag, Sharptooth and Tiamat — running amok in the House whom Sofia stays wary of. Still, she can manage dealing with Dag and Sharptooth. Tiamat, on the other hand, is a threat that threatens the House of Beasts as a whole, despite being part of the Beasthood, so Sofia isn't really in any position to combat against her without any assistance. Luckily, Tiamat has other interests to tend to, though she herself isn't fond of the fact that Sofia is friends with Bahamut.
  • The fact that she could communicate with animals led her to become fast friends with Eliza Thornberry, who was surprised and interested in her amulet. That said, Eliza's ability to speak to animals is natural whereas Sofia has to rely on her amulet. Regardless, Sofia and Eliza keep in contact a lot, particularly if the latter has to deal with a mythical animal.
  • While she's close to reaching teenage age, Sofia is actually quite witty and calculating when it comes to her thinking and goals. It's something a lot of deities tend to gloss over, and hence, underestimate, given how many times Sofia has outgambitted her family several times if things don't go her way. Still, she does love her family dearly, especially considering she bought them along as her heralds, but she isn't afraid to conspire behind others' backs if she's either slighted or needs to accomplish a goal.
    • Aragorn and Zelda have scolded her for acting childishly devious at times. Given their reputation and power they possess, Sofia isn't in any position to rebel against them. And even then, she highly respects the two of them and Aragorn and Zelda are more than welcome to help her out and that she's deeply caring about her friends and family.
  • While she gets along with many of the good-aligned rulers in the Pantheon, there are also just many many Evil Overlords and Wicked Witches to deal with as well. Most prominent are Maleficent, who eerily reminds Sofia of Vor, Sauron who finds Sofia's empowerment via love to be something similar to Friendship and Palpatine who firmly established himself as the most evil Disney villain in the Pantheon. Sofia also heavily dislikes Master Xehanort for orchestrating plans that involved endangering the Disney Princesses and is willing to fight against him alongside Sora and the other Keyblade wielders.
    • Of course there are others Sofia hates, such as Voldemort, Darkseid, Griffith and Malekith, but the previous four seem to be ones Sofia takes most issues on. Still, Griffith attracts hate to anybody for reasons Sofia shouldn't know. Voldemort and Darkseid don't really have an opinion on Sofia, though the former is vehemently opposed to even the slightest hint of The Power of Love while the latter would just rather troll her by sitting on her couch and then intimidate her with death before leaving. Malekith, on the other hand, was not well received due to him and the Dark Elves enslaving beasts into their servitude and Sofia was furious to learn of how callous and arrogant Malekith is regarding his right to rule. Not helping matters is his proficiency in magic, which he learned from his mother, Morathi.
    • That said, there are those that Sofia can manage to tolerate. Bowser, despite constantly kidnapping Princess Peach and threatening galaxies, will sometimes have fun with Mario and his friends and Mr Nintendo even sees him as a friend. Not to mention Bowser loves his son and his troops genuinely respect him. Crow, for all his unabashed villainy also treats those he kidnaps and his foes with as much respect as his guests. Settra is a more difficult matter, given the Tomb Kings' solitary nature. However, Sofia was able to learn the Tomb Kings' mindset and confront the king himself. Settra allows Sofia to travel across his domains and is willing to help her out if there's a mutual goal... so long as she doesn't interrupt with his or any of the Tomb Kings' treasure and graves, which she's made sure she'll never disturb.
  • Sofia spends a lot of time in the House of Magic and Sorcery, mainly to see the many different uses of magic and what new friends she could make from there. She easily got along with the Magical Girl Sisterhood and dreams of one day being a part of the Magical Girl Sisterhood. Among the other magic practitioners she became friends with were Zatanna and Akko Kagari. She's expressed interest in performing magic tricks with Zatanna while she's eager to help Akko in using magic more carefully and with more control.
    • Outside of the House of Magic, Sofia is also friends with Schierke. She herself is rather perplexed by Schierke's lack of social skills and often tries to engage her in different activities. At least Guts is open to let Sofia and Schierke hang out together if that's one good thing.
  • Upon entering the House of Characterization, she thought she saw Elena in the Pantheon, given that she saw someone in a red jacket and wielding a sword being attacked by a cat-humanoid. Sofia immediately went to the person's defense, assuming it was her good friend Elena of Avalor...before realizing that this wasn't Elena and the cat-person wasn't malicious. This turned out to be Adora and her girlfriend Catra. After a round of apology, Adora couldn't help but dote how cute Sofia was and how Sofia reminded Adora of her friend Glimmer. Sofia was somewhat confused as to the...relationship between the two girls, but she is determined to be by their side if it comes off to fighting off their enemies, especially when she learned about Hordak.
  • As a Princess, She can also be seen residing in the House of Royalty, in the Hall of Heirs.
From the silver flying horses, Of the ever golden glades, To the dragons on the cliff tops, Of the blazing palisades Enchancia, Enchancia Come hear our humble call, Enchancia, Enchancia, A land for one and all. Where the valiant knights protect us, From the darkest evil spells, And your wishes all come true here, If they're made in wishing wells Enchancia, Enchancia A beacon shining bright Enchancia, Enchancia, Where all our dreams take flight!
