Trope Pantheons Discussion

Go To

Welcome to the Trope Pantheons thread! Please read the rules:

    Rules 
Rules. The following are not suggestions or tips, but things that have to be followed:
  • When writing a profile, take note of the following:
    • Gods cannot be followers or high priests for obvious reasons. The 'gods' have ascended meaning there is no need for said character to be a follower of another if they have ascended.
    • No hype profiles, please. 'Hype Profiles' are profiles that have been made out of ongoing events and have not been around for a long time. This creates 'hype' due to popularity and certain elements either through certain scenes, memes, dramatic acting or considered overly awesome. They are not bad tropes but building a portfolio solely for that is a bad idea, as they do not say a thing about representing the trope best (unless it's those trope concepts that they are trying to embody for a long time)
      • You can see one if the profile is only showing off how awesome they are or suddenly pushing how 'significant' they are thanks to the just very recent events rather than respecting the longstanding good representations of the trope. And usually having... minimum portfolio or flavor texts and being a bit too generalized or self-contained to events from within their home series instead of interacting with other Pantheon members.
  • When posting in the forum, take note of the following:
    • When you suggest a God, please explain why they fit the trope. Not everyone is going to understand just "X should be the God of Y because they exemplify the trope" off the bat, especially if they're unfamiliar with the work.
    • You must use the Trope Pantheons discussion thread in the forums if you wish to add a new deity, story, something else of importance to the Trope Pantheon canon, or reworking an existing deity (be it simply improving their existing profile or changing their title).
      • For new and reworked deities, 3 [tup] means the profile will have a one week waiting period.
      • For new and reworked deities, 4 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 5 [tup] is an automatic ascension for new and reworked deities.
      • Speaking of reworks, for anyone that wants to improve such profiles, they have to review the current trope the character(s) has and see if it still holds up or if there is a better rep for their trope.
    • For adding new Treasures to The Great Treasury or new Dominions to the Dominions, the following rules apply:
      • For new Treasures or Dominions, 3 [tup] is a 3 day waiting period.
      • 4 [tup] is an automatic addition to the Great Treasury or Dominions.
    • Do not repost a profile in the forums more than twice in a day if noticeable changes have not been made in between. If a profile is posted a third time in a row without noticeable alterations, it will be downvoted. This is so spamming of no-effort profiles is less frequent and to prevent tropers from getting aggravated seeing the same profile over and over. The minimum acceptable change has to be a single flavour text.
    • The Pantheon is not a mouthpiece for you to voice your opinions on certain characters. You may like certain characters more than others, but do not make the mistake of making profiles for characters you like look like Character Shilling.
    • Tropers new to the Pantheon are barred from approving or downvoting profiles until they have ascended at least two profiles.
    • Do not include fan reception in any profiles. It has nothing to do with the character themselves and will create unnecessary conflict.
    • Write a detailed explanation on why the character is the best candidate for deity of that trope. If people disagree with you, do not force it on the people.
    • Keep in mind that if you still want to try to find a trope for a particular character, you are only given three chances to find a particular trope for them. If a suggestion goes past three possible tropes, then it will come off as shoehorning a character into the Pantheon just for the sake of that character to be there.
      • On a related note, even if a character does have a free trope being suggested, there is still a limit of three attempts for suggesting that character for that trope. If no one responds to that certain proposal after being posted three times, then it will get to the point where the idea will be seen as being shoehorned into the Pantheon. In addition, the idea needs to be considered acceptable and approved because they are good, not for the sake of pitying others because no one is responding to their idea.
  • When posting Pantheon related stuff to the wiki, take note of the following:
    • Do not put a link to these Pantheon pages into the main wiki page. The moment you want to add in a main Characters page that the character is a God of this trope, do not do it. If you see leftovers of this practice, inform the forum and use the cutlist. This also goes to the Trivia page. The only exception to this rule is if a page in the Pantheon could be confused for a page in Main, like Good Colors, Evil Colors and Good and Evil Colors.
    • Rule of Cautious Editing Judgment ALSO applies here. Do not bring things that would incite fights, even if it is what is currently the hot topic and might be 'urgent'. For example, the political scene and some really bad politicians. We are not here to fight at each other, so don't suggest things that go to that direction, this is a fictional Pantheon after all.
    • To add a Pantheon page for a certain work, 4 or more characters coming from the same series/franchise should be ascended before adding the page. For Creator specific pages, 4 deities coming from the same creator and 2 individual work pages coming from the same creator is the minimum to warrant a page.
    • Do not create a trope page for a story until the story is fully completed.

    Instructions and Tips 
Here are some tips one should keep in mind when editing:

  • Preparing to write:
    • First thing to do before present a profile is to go to the Trope Pantheons discussion thread. In the forums, you must discuss with other users on adding ideas and seek their approval with sound reasoning. You can also get some assistance in the forum thread by either asking for help and those interested asking if they can help. Submissions that are added without discussion are likely to be deleted and those who violate those rules by adding Pantheon content without discussion will get reported to the mods.
    • If you feel the need to remove a character for some reason (poor quality, outdated titles, etcetera) and replace him/her with another or outright rework, please see what the other tropers think about this in the discussion thread before doing anything hasty. Use good reasoning to see if your idea can easily replace the character present without drawing out your statement or giving too ambiguous claims most do not understand.
    • Please be sure to consult others in the discussion about what you want to work before making the profile. This is done to see if your proposal is the best representative and so, in case your profile is turned down, you do not waste time writing something that others might not find suitable.
      • In the same vein, if you adopt a profile from another troper, it is recommended that you make an announcement that you have done so on the discussion thread. More often than not, a trope that was reserved for something was given away to someone else. Check the Related tab on the top of a page to see if a trope or character has been reserved by a user.
    • If, for whatever reason, you are writing about a God who just happens to be a person in real life, just try to be very careful about what you decide to say. Do not try to make the editing seem too meta (self-referential) and use the aformentioned creativity to create hypothetical scenarios towards fictional characters.
  • When writing a profile for a character, here are a few things to note:
    • All deities should be sorted by their divine ranking. Put Overdeities on the top of the page and Quasideities on the bottom. Also be sure to add them in alphabetical order by their first/given name (can be reversed if it is Eastern ordered). For a group, if there is no official name for them all list down all their names by order of relevance or (if too long to list) title them as Insert Name Here Main Characters or some other identifiable title along the same lines.
    • The maximum number of tropes that a god can have is two, but do not try to abuse that fact. If you need to use a second trope to specify a certain thing about their position, that can be excused either because said character represents their trope choice very well alongside the first trope. It is still generally encouraged to only have one trope.
    • A trope can only belong to one profile at a time. The only time two profiles can share a trope is if there are explicit variations listed in the trope page proper (e.g. Muscle Angst is held by both Biscuit Krueger and Chihiro Fujisaki as the former represents "Too Much Muscle" and the latter represents "Not Enough Muscle")
    • If the character you are about to add to a House already exists in another, make sure to mention that this person has spots in other House as well. Up to 2 places can be made for a deity, with the sole exceptions being those at the Main House to highlight those characters’ importance to the Pantheon’s lore.
    • For a character's theme song, try to avoid calling it "Theme of God X" or "Theme of (Show where God X originates from)". If possible, try to find out if the song has an actual name through research. Most importantly, it has to be part their series’ official soundtracks from media. Do not list songs that are made by fans or outside sources. If they were not specifically used as music for that specific character, then they do not count. Furthermore, it has to be a general theme specifically made for that characters’ appearances, not some generic music that plays for many other instances not related to the character in question.
    • For images, when adding an image for your chosen character, it is highly recommended to use a stylized image that embodies the character or renders that also highlights a character’s behavior (such as cool poses). Most images should be from the main adaptations of the character, unless the images from the other media are of a higher quality than the adaptation. Unless it is needed, do not use fanart for images. If you are, please attribute to the original artist. Due to the website’s dark mode, removing white backgrounds from an image is paramount. This website is suggested to do the background removal. If an image you have takes up too much bytes, it is suggestible to use this site to reduce the byte size. If the byte is still too big, put the compressed image to other sites (or even the same one) to compress even further. Use wikias to look for better images, as even wikias for the series might not contain good official images.
    • Creativity is your friend. While it is not recommended to get too ditzy at your ideas, it is best that when writing a profile for a certain character, do you think of capable scenarios between X and Y. Tip: do not use shallow examples (X wields a sword and Y wields one too) and try to think of relationships that makes sense (i.e those characters that are shout-outs for another).
  • Pantheon Content:
    • Some series or genres will eventually have greater representation in the Pantheon than others. This is unavoidable, but a little diversity helps to make you not look like a shill per say. Try to ensure that if you add a deity from a popular series, make sure that it is because they are a good representative for the trope in question, and not just because they are connected to another deity in their respective canon.
      • As far as deities from actual mythologies, there is generally expectation to build the profiles off interactions from fictional portrays rather than basing it entire from the actual myth. Therefore, a mythological deity should be more of a Composite Character whose main identity is from the actual myth.
    • Occasionally there will be Gods that carry a title without a trope. This is not forbidden, but it is well advised not to abuse them. The only house that a tropeless profile are wholly allowed is the House of Food. Mainly due to most food items lacking tropes, and adding tropes about said foodstuffs is slightly unnecessary. However, the character being ascended for their choice of a food, or food-related thing must be a decently good representative of said item. (i.e their Trademark Favorite Food, or something that they are closely associated with In-Universe, or both).
    • For Dominions and Treasures profiles, always consider what made those places/objects popular in the first place. Were they plot-important, identifiable imagery or have a unique aspect of it? Do not just bring regular objects under the basis of following a certain canon.
  • For Profile Standards:
    • Flavor text is used to describe certain things about a character, place or object. To avoid short ones, it is recommended to write flavor text with 4-7 sentences that can fill around 2 lines each. Be warned that adding too many sentences does not equal good flavor text as it is not an essay of sorts (unless words are substantial and do add to the overall line).
    • Character Profiles of a certain person should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 7 (at the minimum) tropes describing their character.
      • Flavor text count for a deity profile should have by minimum, 10 (depending if the character in question has enough relationships/characterization) to 15 with a maximum of 20-25 for an individual profile.
      • On the other hand, group profiles (profiles of a group that has 4 or more members) have their maximum flavor text count to 15 minimum, giving individual lines for the other members of the group (unless the members are not as characterized) up to 30 at max.
    • Dominion profiles of a certain place should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 5 (at the minimum) tropes describing the context of the place.
      • Flavor text count should range at least 10 to 15.
    • Treasure profiles (inanimate objects without a trope) should have the following:
      • A portfolio that contains at least 6 (at the minimum) tropes that describes the object itself.
      • Flavor text count should be at least 7 flavor text up to 12 to constitute a treasure profile.

    Divine Ranking System 
  • Overdeity: Omnipotent-level Reality Warpers capable of manipulating the entire universe (or at least the world) at will. Within their own universe they are believed to be omnipotent, or at least impossible-to-completely-destroy embodiments or concepts.
  • Greater Gods: High-level Reality Warpers and that are extremely powerful (capable of destroying or changing anywhere from a large city to a planet at will) and very strong non-reality warpers capable of doing the same thing.
  • Intermediate Gods: Deities at this level are capable of strong but specialized powers such as hydrokinesis, pyrokinesis, etc. without major drawbacks and low level Reality Warpers capable of affecting their immediate area at will.
  • Lesser Gods: Capable of highly specific or little power on their own, or suffer from Power at a Price. However, they may be able to ruthlessly exploit their power or combine it with just being badass enough to make up for it.
  • Demigods: Basically the Badass Normals of the pantheon, making up for their lack of abilities with strength, strategy, and/or planning.
  • Quasideities: Any otherwise normal human, human equivalent, or below without any special powers or training will fall here.

    Templates 
Template for adding a new deity:

God X, God/dess of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Rank: This can range from Quasideity, Demigod, Lesser God, Intermediate God, Greater God, to Overdeity, based on representation of power mentioned above.
  • Symbol: An image or icon used to represent the deity.
  • Theme Song: Official song (in other words, no fan music, regardless of quality) that usually is used in affiliation with the character. If the deity is a musician this will most likely be their Signature Song. If possible, give a link for reference, preferably on either a website like Soundcloud or YouTube.
  • Alignment: Good, evil, neutral etc. Forget about The Great Character Alignment Debate here, the Pantheon is one of the few places where you can assign Dungeons & Dragons alignment to characters that don't have alignment system. After all, the Pantheon is based on D&D and is made for fun.
  • For Pokémon deities only:
    • Gender: Defines the gender of the Pokémon; if genderless, it instead defines what gender they identify as.
    • Ability: Provides the Pokémon's ability. If they can Mega Evolve, the new ability is listed as well.
    • Moves: Defines the four moves used by a Pokémon. A Z-Move may also be listed.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the character.
  • Domains: Things that the character has influence over.
  • Herald: Non-ascended loyal character that is from the same series as the ascended character.
  • High Priest: Non-ascended like heralds, but not from the same series, and can serve as a worthy replacement in case something would happen. They can be served as part-time workers in case the originals are busy with some jobs. Co-Godhood is accepted depending on the approval of the originals, usually if the co-deity is from the same series.
  • Followers: Non-ascended characters that are not part of the Pantheon, but would probably worship this character by the fact that they share the ascended character's trope.
  • Relationships between ascended characters go here with your chosen character, it goes something like this:
    • Allies: Members of the Pantheon that are allies, those that share the same values as them and would theoretically be friends with them.
    • Rivals: Members of the Pantheon that are rivals, people who may look at your character with suspicion or a challenge.
    • Enemies: Members of the Pantheon that are foes, those who would see your chosen character as a threat, either on their pespective or yours.
    • Additional Character Relationships: Members of the Pantheon that do not fit in various relationships (examples include Enemy Mine, Vitriolic Best Buds, Teeth-Clenched Teamwork, Headbutting Heroes, Friendly Enemy, Friendly Rival, Just Friends, etc.), allies, rivals, or enemies.
    • Partner: Defines a partnership with an ascended deity and Mon-type. (if any)
    • Feared by/Fears: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon notably fear or are feared by.
    • Respected by/Respects: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon respect or are respected by.
    • Opposed by/Opposes: Not necessarily the same as "Enemies", but this is used for any deity whom the members of the Pantheon directly opposes or is opposed by (basically the opposite of "Respects") terms of certain viewpoints, regardless of alignment.
    • Pitied by/Pities: A deity whom the members of the Pantheon feel pity for or are found pitiable by.
    • Conflicting Opinion: Sometimes, the Deities argue over specific themes and philosophies.
  • Add the Intro. The intro is made up of two trivia, the Ascension Text (or just the Ascension) and The Bio. Both are necessary, but which order you use for them may vary depending on the profile in question. It may be better for one profile to have The Bio first and the Ascension second or vice-versa, although for the most part the order is irrelevant:
    • The Ascension Text: This the story of how the character got into the Pantheon and/or was ascended. There are many ways for this to happen. They may be tricked into it or have simply wandered into the Pantheon, they may have had an already ascended character bring them in, they may already be in the Pantheon (via being another deity's Herald or sharing a trope) and got "promoted", or some combination of the above. Anything is possible in the Pantheon, so use your imagination, but try to incorporate their trope into the story, if possible.
    • The Bio: A brief synopsis on the character's backstory. No need for the character's entire life/production history, but just give enough that those who don't know the character can get an idea of how the character works.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Deities/Characters is 10-15 (15-20 for group profiles) at minimum to 20-25 (30 for group profiles) at maximum.

Template for Dominions profiles:

Place X, Place of (Insert Trope Here) (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Alignment: Refers to the dominion's role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the dominion.
  • Domains: Things that the place has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the location has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the dominion is linked to, note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said dominion, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Dominion is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Dominions is 10 at minimum to 15 at maximum.

Template for Treasure profiles:

The name of the item in here (Alternate names/Nicknames, Fan Nickname)

  • An image, if possible. Please use official art or a screenshot for a picture.
  • Appearance: A shortened description of the item's looks with some notable features also mentioned.
  • Class: Refer to the Treasure Classification System in the Great Treasury.
  • Alignment: Refers to the objects' role in their story, be it those used by villains or used by the Player Character.
  • Theme Song (Optional): Not important as compared to Deity and Dominion profiles but a notable mention if there is an accompanying song in use with the object.
  • Museum Check: A note that says whether the item is viewable by the public.
  • Portfolio: Tropes associated with the item.
  • Domains: Things that the item has links to.
  • Relationships (Optional): Unless the item has a connection with a specific deity, relationships are optional and may not be required. However, if there are deities linked to the same series as where the item is linked to (especially the original owner of the item), note them using the relationships, this includes deities that theoretically have interest with said object, good or evil otherwise.
  • Add the Intro. Here the introduction of the Treasure is added with some tidbits regarding the origins of its' creation and usage in the story. You can also add what made it popular/iconic/important here.
  • Now add some random trivia/facts about events/alignments/moments/fights/friendships/relations etc.
  • And some more trivia/facts.
  • And a couple of more.
    • Note: Standard amount of flavor text for Treasures is 7 at minimum to 12 at maximum.

The Scrappy and Butt-Monkey of the Pantheon Thread
#151951: Dec 20th 2019 at 6:06:47 PM

Welcome to the Pantheon, where Pantheon will return someday.

Okay, okay. The reason why Is was going to get to the Sartorius rework later was because it was past midnight where I was at and I was tired.

That said, the bit about the Radiant Heroes. Is that one they don't want to ascend in the Pantheon now? If so, where is this individual?

Feedback Mode

Here he is again.

Takuma Saiou, God of Tarot Troubles (Sartorius)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/takuma_saiou_by_dragonballzcz_d59pfs3_pre.png
  • Domains: Corruption, Fate, Tyranny, Light, Tarot
  • Herald: Mizuchi Saiou/Sarina (his sister)
  • Allies: Judai "Jaden" Yuki, Eliphas, Oriko Mikuni, Kaworu Nagisa, most good-to-neutral gods voiced by Akira Ishida
  • Former Allies: Judge Claude Frollo, Seymour Guado, Arthas Menethil, Gill
  • Interested In: All Persona-users, particularly Tatsuya Suou
  • Conflicting Opinions: Sora Shiun'in
  • Annoyed with: Deadpool, Excalibur
  • Former Superior: The Light of Destruction
  • Enemies:
  • Former Enemies: Toki, Artix Von Krieger, Double, Reisuke Houjou, Sora, Aichi Sendou, Shobu Kirifuda, Makoto Naegi
  • Opposes: Future Diary Holders (under the Light's control; Pities otherwise)
  • Ascended to this House in order to impose his dark faith in the Pantheon. That, and to show the rest of the Gods his skills in the Duel Monsters card game.
    • What many (including Saiou himself) don't know nor suspect is that the dark faith he's preaching about is actually that of The Light of Destruction, an unofficial aspect of YHVH. Though the GUAL has plans of snapping him of it on the condition that he would officially join them. Since the Great Will is offering him to let him have his powers (very unlike the Light of Destruction), it seems like he could accept the offer...
    • However, he then predicted that "a fool" would be ascending into the Pantheon. That fool turned out to be an enemy from his own world, Judai "Jaden" Yuki. They have been opposing each other ever since, or so it would seem to anyone not in the know. One part of Saiou is trying (but failing) to fight back his own possession and Judai is the only one who could bring him back to normal.
    • Sadly for Judai, he could be de-brainwashed by someone else and he could join the GUAL. Their friendship remains, but to say this hasn't enraged Judai would be an Understatement.
    • A long time later, some time after the Light of Destruction itself ascended to the Pantheon (thus refuting the idea that it is a part of YHVH, who treats it as a rival), Jaden decided he would try yet again. This time, he got the help of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts after hearing of them through Yu. One search for and of Saiou's Palace later, and they were on board.
    • When the time came for the Calling Card (though with a lot of caution and warnings ever since last time with Ghetsis), it was decided that while Jaden invites Sartorius to another duel, they would go and purge the Light of Destruction from his Palace.
    • After the duel (and the battle against the Light in the Metaverse), Jaden took Saiou to a GUAG sanctuary to find a way to keep the Light out of him for good. And keep his fortunetelling powers to avoid another certain incident. Eventually, a way was found, and he was soon back in form.
  • Back when he was brainwashed, he verily enjoyed that his inspirational figures, Gill and Jedah Dohma, had joined to the Pantheon. Nowadays, not so much.
  • Many have put his rank into question, given that his only power is fortune-telling. Until it was found that he managed to get the control of the SORA again (its original owner is kinda susceptible to brainwashing). Though it's vague what the satellite actually does, as it originally destroys everything on sight but there are other times where it simply brainwashes everyone into obedience. No matter what it will do, it's for this reason(s) that YHVH is very interested in having him in the GUAL...
    • Keybearer Sora was not pleased in the least to find out about another evil use of his name and wonders if the Yu-Gi-Oh!-verse is conspiring against him. Saiou/Sartorius just told him to accept it. With Sora "gone", Saiou cannot make amends with him, but if he can show Sora's friends that he's changed, then maybe...
    • Duelist Sora is slightly terrified of the satellite and even wonders if he was named after it (it's not), but even that thought scares him. Saiou's opinion of him is more neutral, but he has wondered if he could brainwash the kid into the Society of The Light in his less conscious moments. Now, however, since his liberation from the Light, he's decided not to.
  • Besides Jaden, there is one other Duelist he harbors intrigue in; (Insert Name Here) when in the form of "Hat Guy". This is mainly due to when in that form, his deck layout and strategy is unpredictable because there's no consistent theme, and he seems unable to be tied to destiny (at least in terms of defeat or victory) because of it.
  • He can't stand the Diary Holders even at his more "normal", viewing them as rivals to his power. Minene Uryuu and Reisuke Houjou answer back this hostility because they can't stand religion.
    • This only applied back when he was under the Light's control. Outside of it, Saiou actually expresses pity, given their backstories reflect his own.
  • He doesn't get out of his temple that frequently, preferring to read the cards about the Pantheon's future, so many were surprised when he summoned Arcana Force XXI - The World in one duel against Judai, since he sounded like Dio Brando. It really didn't help that he shouted out loud the words.
    • He also sounds similar to Deadpool and Excalibur. Let's just say he considers both different kind of fools (ﺧ益ﺨ) that the usual kind he often refers to. This applies even without the Light influencing him.
  • Seems to be mildly interested in the gods coming from the Persona series, possibly because of his constant tarot card-reading. Tatsuya is the one that amuses him the most for sounding similar to him.
    • After his recovery from the Light of Ruin's control, he was approached by one of them. Surprisingly, it wasn't a Persona-user, but one of the Confidants of Ren Amamiya—the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts who had purged the Light of Ruin from his soul. It was a fortune teller by the name of Chihaya Mifune.
    • She knows what it's like to have one's fortune not come out exactly as predicted, and to be vexed by such results, only in her case, it was ultimately to her benefit as Joker was never in opposition to her to begin with, though he certainly was against her former employers. She's helping him get acquainted with the other Forseers.
  • No, he doesn't worship Light Yagami, don't ask him again. And no, he doesn't worship the White either, though it really does make you wonder with that satellite... And now that he's freed, they have become his enemies, too, especially the latter since it reminds him of Darkness, who had abducted his sister once, leading him to try and duel against Jaden in order to save her.
  • He has found an ally in Oriko Mikuni, who understands his plight and can also see the future. She and Ryoga Kamishiro really pity him, especially the latter since he was also a victim of possession. They were working with Eliphas to snap him out of it without the Great Will's intervention before Jaden and the Phantom Thieves pulled off their Heist.
  • Has a considerable amount of respect towards Makoto Naegi because he reminds him of Judai. Naegi is also reminded a little of his classmate Yasuhiro Hagakure. He is trying to teach him Dueling Monsters even if his luck would be the bane for his fortune-telling abilities. (Maybe that's the point).
  • He once warned the Radiant Heroes with a prediction that said "that one similar to me that some of you may not want to be ascended is coming soon". Who knows what he is talking about...
  • Due to his fatalism, he can often be found together with Kyurem. It's not a question of if, but when either one of them will say "You Can't Fight Fate" or "Because Destiny Says So". Practically their unofficial catchphrases when they are together.
  • For your information, Takuma Saiou is his given name for the Japanese-speaking Gods and Sartorius is his only name for the English-speaking Gods. After his recovery, though? He prefers to go by his Japanese name and associates his English one with his brainwashed self.

  • Followers: Agent Craig Willmore, Kazuki Takemura, Denam Pavel, Trestkon, Michael Tapp, Zheng, Jack Mower
  • Allies: The Commander (depending on their current allegiance)
  • Enemies: Each other and each other's allies, Heartless-summoners such as Master Xehanort
  • Sometimes, at some point in a game, you're required to make an important choice. This choice can affect a lot of things, from as little as available upgrades for the entire game, or even what storyline you'll take (requiring a replay to see it all). Kenji Oja, former exile from the Serpent Clan after being assumed to have killed his father, upon returning to the lands from where he was born, was faced with an important choice; in the midst of bandits raiding a village, who should he side with?
    • The Kenji who helps the bandits would rebuild the Serpent Clan under a tyrannical fist. The Kenji who helps the villagers would start anew as the benevolent Dragon Clan. Since both paths are irreconcilable with one another to ascend as a single person, two Kenjis were ascended as separate entities instead, and both immediately came to blows, disgusted at the other's choice (and disbelief from Serpent!Kenji after the revelation that the Serpent Orb's power and the Dragon are real after all). They were shortly separated by the Court, who had ascended them in the first place.
  • Applies to both Kenjis:
    • Their temples take the form of Serpentholm, remade in their respective images, and facing in opposite directions so as to minimize immediate clashes, mostly instigated by Serpent!Kenji.
    • And supporting the Kenjis as their Heralds are their Zen Masters, essentially hero units. While both Shinja and Otomo served both Kenjis, their ultimate allegiances brought the former to Serpent!Kenji and the latter to Dragon!Kenji. The latter Kenji was glad, given that Otomo dies in both paths, and now they're reunited.
    • Naturally, given their dispositions, Serpent!Kenji joined the GUAE while Dragon!Kenji joined the GUAG. Both Melkor and Cosmos were pleased with their latest additions to their ranks.
    • The Dragon Clan generally disdain firearms (though still use rockets) while the Serpent Clan appreciate and perfect their use. That said, even Dragon!Kenji is not above using them, and can learn to appreciate allies who use such weapons.
    • If there's one thing the two Kenjis have a common opinion on, it's despisal for creatures born from darkness thanks to their (separate) experiences with the Nightvol.
  • Exclusive to Serpent!Kenji:
    • Having a necromancer among his Zen Masters thanks to Shinja, he has no issues working with those who can raise the dead, such as Kel'Thuzad, to achieve his goals. Of course, that just means he won't oppose them on principle; their attitudes can still determine allegiances, such as him merely being on good terms with Arthas (if only because his Scourge are numerous enough to count as a threat).
    • When working alongside the Commander, even if it's proven really effective, he's annoyed whenever the Commander employs him as a damage sponge for the Ronin's Blood Bond (it transfers half the damage a Ronin takes to those they bond with) and keep Fan Geisha around to keep him healthy. It's a very effective strategy, sure, but that means sitting out of the fight. Now if it was some other Zen Master...
    • He's also come to like having Berkut and Charles zi Britannia on his side, even if only to help further his goals. This also goes for Kazuya Mishima and Bowser Jr., fellow evil sons to evil fathers, though he's bewildered by the... dynamic the latter's father has with the Mushroom Kingdom, given he hangs out with them half the time when he's not invading them.
  • Exclusive to Dragon!Kenji:
    • Corrin gets along with him, having had to make a similar big choice, except it was between families who both love them and are good people to certain degrees (even if one family was under an evil king who might've been all but a puppet by this point), and they also had the chance for a third option. Of course, Corrin also shows contempt for Serpent!Kenji due to his cruelty.
    • His potential after unlocking his Ki holds so much light that he poses a great threat to dark entities with weakness to light has marked him as a threat to such deities or those who employ such creatures like Xehanort and Mr. Scratch.
    • As someone who goes against the intentions of their evil father( figure)s (even if posthumously in Kenji's case, as he wasn't actually responsible for his father's death), in addition to Corrin, Dragon!Kenji has become allies with Rock Howard, Zuko, Jin Kazama, and Alucard.

Okay, so I've decided I would rework Shining Armor to Shining Goodness. There are others who can hold Names to Trust Immediately like, say, his High Priest Apollo Justice. The Ace Attorney deities could use a rework, especially Maya Fey.

[down]I thought it was my idea of ascending the Shining Force for Shining Goodness that you mercilessly shot down. I'm not suggesting that one anymore. I've long since given up on that.

And if not, well, Shining needs a rework anyway.

Izanami-no-Mikoto, Goddess of Death by Childbirth (Izanami-no-Okami, Goddess of Creation and Death, Matron of the Death)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250px_skinart_izanami_default.jpg
True Appearance 
  • Greater Goddess
  • Symbol: Yomotsu Hirasaka
  • Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
  • Portfolio: Death by Childbirth, Woman Scorned, Mother to Most of the Gods
  • Domains: Creation, Motherhood, Death, The Underworld
  • Allies: The Demi-Fiend, Flynn
  • Enemies: Amaterasu, Susanoo'oh, Yu Narukami, YHVH, Yomi and Ceri, Zeus
  • Uncertain About: Lucifer
  • Izanami is one of the oldest gods of Japanese mythology and the former wife of Izanagi, with the two of them shaping the world as it is now and giving birth to numerous gods and islands. However, one day Izanami gave birth to the fire deity named Hi-no-Kagutsuchi, which burned and killed her, making her descent to the land of Yomi to become the goddess of death.
  • She is really spiteful deity, but she wasn't like that at first. The turning point of her life was when Izanagi went to Yomi to bring her back to the world of the living, only to abandon her when he saw a glimpse of the rotting corpse state she was in. It made her so enraged that she swore to kill thousand men a day if Izanagi doesn't return to him. His response was to swear he will give birth to more men than she can kill. Yes, she brought death into this world just because she was abandoned by her husband.
    • In general, she hates anything what is either created or blessed by Izanagi. There is really one exception.
  • While she does ultimately long for company, she can be EXTREMELY clingy about it. She can disguise her true appearance to match of the person's greatest desire to make them stay with her. But as long as they try to leave her, she will chase them down as far as she can to make sure they won't abandon her.
  • Surprisingly enough, she seems extremely calm in the MegaTen universes. She is generally really helpful there when not being controlled by outside forces. At times, her anger forwards Izanagi himself has disappeared, and just wants to be with him once more. And sometimes, they are even trying to work things out.
    • Speaking of which, she is sort of... irritated by certain other Izanami. Though more of her using her visage than anything else. She isn't really bothered to do anything about it, though she has her glares towards her.
  • Is slightly frustrated at BlazBlue deities since they seem to mistake her for Hades Izanami.
  • Because his Persona is Izanagi(-no-Okami), she takes a very hateful stance at Yu Narukami. She also despises Yomi (and Ceri) for defeating her world's version of Izanami and...making love with her after.

@nightelf: You still tried to advertise the Light of Destruction as an aspect of YHVH, which it is not, and then threw in a Persona 5 reference and had several parts of his profile continuously rely on Persona. Your edits were mainly adding on extra facts instead of removing/replacing what you already had that was unnecessary. I was expecting a more thorough edit. My [tdown] remains. His profile is still too close to being an attempt to crossover with Persona instead of being its own thing. I've been told that you allow for others to edit, but I believe in asking for permission. May I try my hand at such an edit?

In other news, I return to a profile stuck in Development Hell. Any of these characters have different links/locations? Also still open to suggestions due to the Loads And Loads Of Characters present in this particular profile.

Class 3-E, Divine Dustbin School of the Pantheon (Members: Nagisa Shiota, Kaede Kayano, Karma Akabane, Tomohito Sugino, Manami Okuda, Hiroto Maehara, Sousuke Sugaya, Yukiko Kanzaki, Meg Kataoka, Touka Yada, Hinano Kurahashi, Rinka Hayami, Ryuunosuke Chiba, Hinata Okano, Yuuma Isogai, Ryouma Terasaka, Takuya Muramatsu, Taisei Yoshida, Kirara Hazama, Koutarou Takebayashi, Sumire Hara, Rio Nakamura, Kouki Mimura, Taiga Okajima, Justice "Masayoshi" Kimura, Yuzuki Fuwa, Autonomous Intelligence Fixed Artillery (Jiritsu Shikou Kotei Houdai) / Ritsu, Itona Horibe)

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/3461d4800e49572a621345c7ba203606.jpg
  • House: School
  • Demigods individually; Ritsu is a Lesser god; Kaede and Itona are Intermediate gods when they are in their tentacled forms.
  • Symbol: An anti-Koro-Sensei knife
  • Alignment: Most are Chaotic Good; Nagisa, Ritsu, and Takebayashi are Lawful Good.
  • Portfolio:
  • Domains: School, Rejects, Defiance, Assassination, Loss
  • Followers: Hufflepuff House
  • Allies:
  • Enemies:
  • Opposes: Relena Darlian, The Human Child (Karma), the GUAC
  • Pities: Evil AIs (Ritsu)
  • Kunugigaioka Junior High is a rather prestigious school, one built on high academic achievement. The best students attend Class A, while poorer performing students attend Classes B-E, with the bottom 5% attending the latter. The students in Class 3-E are treated with contempt, and are not allowed to attend the main campus, instead being sequestered in an old wooden cram school. This system went on for some time, until one of these classes was taught by Koro-Sensei. The students in this class were assigned to kill the strange organism before he blew up the Earth in March of the next year. Throughout the year, the students grew and changed, improving in their studies and defying the system set up by Principal Asano. The students earned respect in their school, and as a result of their tribulations, the system within it was dismantled after the media got wind of the whole incident. Their time at school ended during one final attempt on Koro-Sensei's life by the government, which ended with one final attendance report as Nagisa Shiota tearfully dealt the final blow to Koro-Sensei. The students graduated the next day, ready to take their experiences onward in life.
  • The class ascended upon learning that Koro-Sensei was in the Pantheon, they greeted him warmly, thankful he was alive somewhere, and continue learning from him. He too was happy to meet with them once again, and congratulated them on their achievements.
  • While the Pantheon is far more bizarre than their home world, they got used to it pretty quickly. Having Koro-Sensei as a teacher or an acquantice tends to help people adapt to strange situations.
  • Social Darwinists or ones who follow similar ideals of the rule of the strong remind them strongly of Principal Asano, who, although his methods worked fairly effectively, still didn't make life easy or good for them. They are keeping their eyes peeled should these people in the Pantheon attempt an attack on them, considering how Class 3-E effectively created a counterpoint to such views.
    • Because of this, they are opposed to the GUAC, whose emphasis on 'Might Makes Right' and the destruction of society manages to be both a corruptionnote  and an antithesisnote  to what Koro-Sensei was teaching them.
  • Light Yagami is somewhat of an Evil Counterpart to the class, as they learn the art of killing while keeping up with school for good, whereas he only kept up education as a front for actually being Kira, and passing judgement upon those believed to have committed crimes. They've made plans to deal with him should they ever come to blows.
  • Ezio Auditore helps to train Class 3-E to become better, and relates to them because they both practice the art of assassination in the name of Good.
  • Lobo disgusts them, because they can't even imagine killing purely for fun. Even Karma, who openly takes pleasure in combat, hates the idea of taking life unnecessarily.
  • Neville is glad to have found others who were treated as the worst, but rose from the bottom of the class to become heroes.
  • Dumbledore approves of Class 3-E, and they in turn, think he's a much better Headmaster than Asano. He regrets that they can't be trained in wizardry due to coming from another universe, though even if they could learn magic, the students would turn down such an offer, preferring to hone their innate abilities rather than utilize a foreign one.
    • Mind, there IS a universe where they WERE studying magic, but suffered from glitches that resulted them being placed in Class 3-E. While this hasn't changed their polite refusal to learn magic itself, it has resulted in some members researching methods to fight or counter magic users should the need ever arise. Roy Greenhilt's Spellsprinter Maneuver is one such technique, as the more knife-adept wielders (Sugino, Kataoka, and Isogai for instance), have been trying to adapt it to their preferred weapon.
  • As a group of assassins, they got on well with Night Raid, though unlike Class 3-E, Night Raid actually works to kill. But considering that the world that Night Raid lives in is not too different from the areas that Irina (AKA, Bitch Sensei) and Koro-Sensei as the Reaper grew up in, they can understand why the assassin guild does so.
    • As such, Class 3-E is no fan of Esdeath, though her treatment of her subordinates is actually better than Asano's, to their bewilderment. However, she's still a sadistic monster who, unlike Asano, has been cruel and evil from birth, and actually wonders how Class 3-E would challenge her given their lack of powers and helplessness during Koro-Sensei's final battle in the mortal realm. The fact that she's part of the GUAC also increases the risk of the organization deciding to attack them. Luckily, Koro has sworn to protect them from Esdeath and her allies should they ever come to blows.
  • The Mythbusters', eh, interesting methods of learning are incredibly fascinating to many Class 3-E students, especially Okuda, due to her proficiency in Chemistry, and as such, she has been taken on as an intern.
  • Are a bit unnerved by Haru Ichninose due to her Mind Control ability being used to protect from assassins. Regardless, they've assured her that their only targets are Koro-Sensei due to that being part of their curriculum, and anyone who wrongs the class in some way.
  • After comparisons were made, Class 3-E became acquainted with the ascended cast of Danganronpa due to the structure of their education. Their interactions vary from student to student, but on the whole, they are allies with them.
    • Though all of them despise Junko Enoshima for perverting the concept of their Assassination Classroom. Koro-Sensei has advised Class 3-E to merely keep on the defensive, pointing out that that would be the best strategy against someone like Junko. His advice proved sound when Junko confronted them, and the conflict ended with Karma shoving Wasabi and Mustard up Junko's nostrils, before Nakamura photographed the scene and spread it around the Pantheon.
  • Upon seeing Red Skull, they thought for a moment that the second Reaper, Koro-Sensei's former disciple, was in the Pantheon. They soon found out that that wasn't the case, because while the two may look similar, their motivations and personalities are completely different.
  • Due to Nagisa becoming a teacher, Eikichi and him have become good friends, trading stories about their awful classrooms, and both agree on an absolute disgust for Agatha Trunchbull, for her cruel and awful teaching.
    • He also gets along well with Suzaku Kururugi, due to both of them being incredibly capable fighters who both took risks in who they sided with and had to kill a close ally.
  • Karma is studying under Bruce Lee, partially to become stronger and partially to achieve his defeat, for the sake of having beaten one of the strongest warriors in the Pantheon.
    • He and Lelouch enjoy thinking circles around their opponents, and have similar ideals and values. Some of their enemies are nervous about this alliance, as Karma brings direct physical combat skills to the table Lelouch doesn't possess while being almost as intelligent on top of that. There's also the fact that Karma grew up into a government official, which could easily prove beneficial for both men.
    • Karma finds Relena's pacifism stupid and annoying, and although he's always stopped short of doing real harm, he's gone to... worrying lengths to get her to see that violence is a necessary part of doing good.
      • In addition, Karma is on the fence about the Human Child, since their determination in combination with their pacifism enabled them to free monsters from the underground, among other feats. Though what truly worries Karma is Chara, whom he views as being far more terrifying than Nagisa's latent bloodlust. Karma is tempted to force Chara to manifest so that he can destroy the Fallen Child, except Frisk has plenty of determination to ensure that the situation does not escalate to that point...plus, there's the matter of Sans getting involved should Karma ever attempt something like that. For now, Karma is content to simply watch the Human Child from a distance, but is keeping on his toes.
    • As a prankster, Karma has been meeting up with many of the other troublemakers in the Pantheon. While some had to suffer the wrath of Karma's wasabi torture (Such as Cartman, whose attempts at revenge on Karma have failed spectacularly), others found Karma to be either a Worthy Opponent, or an ally from conflict.
  • Itona sympathizes with Octodad, and helps him to control his tentacles and blend in better. Kaede also feels sorry for him, but isn't very active about it, recognizing that almost everyone accepts him as he is, and is slightly bitter about it.
    • On the other hand, Kaede tries to help out Desco, because of their similarities.
  • Both Kaede and Itona dislike Cthulhu for being an evil and destructive tentacled humanoid. The class has considered targeting the Great Old One, but the price for failure would be too great.
  • Ritsu is good friends with The Machine and Bastion, as all are AIs who are capable of caring and goodness. She can't make herself hate the evil machines, seeing them as merely not having achieved true understanding yet, even AM.
    • Though, of the evil A.I.s, she's a tad curious about XANA, due to how little is known about his motives. One individual posited that XANA believes that Humanity Is Insane and went evil after seeing Franz Hopper's sanity deteriorate. She's tried establishing contact with XANA to confirm or deny this, but the A.I. has refused to respond.
    • Ritsu's eventual release into the internet and becoming a completely sentient being has also resulted in encounters with Lain Iwakura, another extremely powerful feminine Artificial Intelligence who lives within the internet. Ritsu has tried to get Lain to come out of her shell and interact with the Pantheon more, to the Goddess of the Wired's resistance. At the very least, Ritsu has succeeded in getting a chuckle out of Lain by wearing one of her bear footie pajamas.
  • As someone who breaks the fourth wall and knows she's in a fictional work, Fuwa gets along with Deadpool pretty well. The reactions of her classmates when the Merc with a Mouth pops up range from bemusement to utterly shocked astonishment.
    • Since she's a big fan of detective stories, Fuwa looks up to Sherlock Holmes. He's found an interesting companion in his cases to say the least.
  • Having once been called the 'Naruto' kid due to his poor grades, Terasaka eventually met the Seventh Hokage in person. Naruto had a bit of a chuckle over that, to Terasaka's annoyance, though Naruto was sincere in seeing how Terasaka improved himself, not unlike Naruto. They've been firm friends ever since.
    • Murasata also got along with Naruto, seeing how his specialty; Ramen, easily attracts the Hokage's eyes.
  • Murasata and Hara found themselves getting along with the ascended members of Tootsuki Academy. Yukihara in particular for Muramatsu due to the former's experimentation with food, which Murasata was not able to do due to his father's handling of their ramen shop. Both were wary of Erina at first thanks to the similarities between the elites of Tootsukui and Kunugigaoka, but after her history with her father came up, along with a change in attitude towards Souma, the two warmed up to her a tad. Especially since Erina's father is somehow MORE abusive than Asano Sr.!
  • Okajima was immediately attracted to the House of Lust, though he was advised by Koro-Sensei to keep his distance from several of the deities there, given how they could overwhelm him. Okajima was able to become allies with Jiraiya, due to both sharing perverted qualities, and Jiraiya being rather friendly.
  • Kanzaki was discovered to be an excellent gamer, and made some waves in the House of Gaming as a result. It's turned out to be helpful in real-life as well, as it helped out her marksmanship immensely.
  • Sugino was delighted to meet Babe Ruth, considering his own passion for baseball.
  • Takebayashi's first solo appearance in the Pantheon was to complement virtual female A.I.snote . This was...not the best of first impressions, though Kosmo and Nova became allies with him, as did Jeremie Belpois and Aelita Schaffer. He has also struck up casual conversation with Cortana as well.
    • On a more serious note, Takebayashi is also Class 3-E's explosives expert, and immediately became enemies with Deidara for his artistic obsession with bombs. He also is no fan of Michael Bay, because while Bay is a Nice Guy...he has no understanding of how explosives are NOT something to ever be messed with...and on that note, this distaste expands to anyone who views explosions with fascination rather than precision.
  • Due to still maintaining a low income even with godhood, Isogai has had to continue working part-time jobs to make ends meet. Due to his first name, he has been confused for both Kyoko Sakura's apprentice, and the duelist Yuma Tsukumo. The resulting confusion caused by this during one of his shifts nearly destroyed the cafe he was working at...and yet he somehow managed to get the situation under control, to the surprise of everyone.note .
    • Also, as Class 3-E's class representative alongside Kataoka, Isogai tends to be his class's spokesperson whenever contact is required of the class as a whole.
  • Hazama, as a noted fan of dark literature, quickly searched the Pantheon to see if some of the characters and author were present. She was quite pleased to meet Edmond Dantes, having been fascinated by his tale and even recommended it to Itona...while informing him to skip the part where the Count began to regret his actions. Dantes didn't know whether to be horrified or laugh when he heard of the story, but he did inform Hazama about why he chose to pull back on his original vengeance.
  • A group of junior high students are joyfully discussing an assassination. If you look at it normally, this is the pinnacle of madness.

  • Conflicting Opinion
  • A sarcastic, grumpy, punk-ass teenager who puts on a front of being a macho tough guy to mask how powerless he feels to help either the people around him or the spirits of the dead he can actually see. One night he encountered a Soul Reaper, his world's variant of Shinigami, who imbued him with her powers in order to receive his help, becoming her Substitute in Karakura Town as a result. This act turned out to be a taboo in Soul Society, worthy of execution. He and his other friends, who also awoke to spiritual powers of their own, invaded Soul Society with an attack on the Seireitei to save her, becoming branded as Ryoka invaders as a result. As it turned out, this was the beginning of the true revelations surrounding Ichigo Kurosaki's true power and lineage, as well as his connection to a vast number of conspiracies enveloping Soul Society, most if not all of whom were centered around a villain's interest in one aspect or another of his powers, which he invariably would go on to awaken solely in order to defeat that villain.
  • Initially considered enemies to Soul Society only to become among its most staunch allies, Ichigo and his friends routinely found themselves embroiled in the Seireitei's wars with enemy factions and even the occasional filler traitor. The original task of a Soul Reaper, to guide the souls of the dead and to purify tainted souls known as Hollows, would be largely lost in a sea of gratuitously awesome shōnen battles and powerups. In the midst of all this, a young looking man made an offhand comment that made Ichigo look at his fellow Shinigami and really see the truth about their situation. He really didn't like thinking about it that much, but he then realized that his own family was going to have to go through this screwed up system eventually — hopefully after a long and full life — so the only way to clean it up is... grimace: become respectable and become part of the system. He would ascend to the Pantheon as a God of Shinigami shortly thereafter.
  • Ichigo's crew protects other benevolent Grim Reapers when they're just escorting already dead souls to the other side. He defends against The Heartless and any other entities that consumes souls or otherwise disrupts the perceived natural process of death.
  • Apparently gives out the vibe that he isn't interested in girls, and thus gets extremely shy and flustered when women around him start to... tease him. Unfortunately, this made him the victim of teasing from both Excellen Browning and Selena Recital. He's destined to marry Orihime, so this won't last forever.
  • Is part of the "Shonen Big 3", along with Naruto and Luffy, and the latter two often drag Ichigo along to act as judge for their various competitions whenever he has free time. Although he went along unwillingly at first, he has since become resigned to his designated role. Rumor even has it that Ichigo will sometimes join in on the antics, though he denies it profusely. Despite his denials, there's indisputable evidence that he's actually competed in a contest judged by them, a sparring match against similar-voiced fellow aloof swordsman Zero. He still won't mention the result since he'd rather not acknowledge the match even happened.
  • There has been talk about how to classify Ichigo, since it has been revealed that not only is he a Human that has Shinigami and Hollow powers, but Quincy powers to top it all off. The amount of times a hidden aspect of Ichigo's power has been conveniently awakened ended up getting the attention of various deities.
    • Son Gohan made no secret that he considered it annoying, complaining about it openly on a semi-regular basis to where word got to Ichigo. Ichigo's response?
    • What's more, he was not only referring to Gohan in this instance, but to Gohan's father Son Goku.
    • For a long time Ichigo was engaged in a meme war (it's a fancy word for bickering) with Ryuk over what being a Shinigami means. Ichigo felt that Ryuk, rather than properly ferrying people who were honestly dead, was taking advantage of those who were arbitrarily damned by a psychopath with a book of names. Ryuk, on the other hand, called out Ichigo's multiple-sourced powers and tendency to do more fighting than actual soul ferrying is proof that Ichigo was never a true Shinigami.
    • An incident took place with Sora Shiun'in when they first met. Ichigo himself doesn't understand how this happened, he was just minding his business when the young card game duelist popped out of nowhere screaming "KUROSAKI!!!" and attacked him. The fact he immediately curb-stomped the intruder (only for self-defense, mind you) in spite of supposedly being of the same power-levels really has made the gods think he might need a re-classification.
    • Others who noted this pattern petitioned for Ichigo to get his trope changed instead, to represent the fact that Ichigo is a natural hybrid of all four types of souls in his world and as a result bears all of their most powerful attributes.
    • All of the above turned out to be the result of a mistake in classification. Ichigo and Ryuk were both handed the same trope in their ascended titles, that of Shinigami, an oversight on the part of the Court of the Gods which they scrambled to try to correct as soon as it was pointed out to them. Catching sight of the above petition, they found the answer they were looking for right under their noses and converted Ichigo's temple to the Heinz Hybrid God, leaving the Shinigami title exclusively to Ryuk.
  • Both Ryuk and Gohan claimed victory over Ichigo's change of trope, much to the Strawberry's chagrin. He decided in the end to leave it alone. Despite this he still has to deal with Ryuk going on and on about it every now and then. He just tells him to shut up by forcing him to dodge a Getsuga Tensho whenever this happens. Ichigo has even admitted that he doesn't have much of a real gripe with Gohan and Goku and actually greatly respects the latter, having allied with him on a number of adventures where the Shonen Jump multiverse crossed over.
  • Surprisingly, Sora Shiun'in was one who didn't come back to rub it in at Ichigo's expense. Instead, he found the duelists Yuto and Ruri, the latter of whom shares his surname of Kurosaki, who informed him that they were friends of Sora's. Ichigo thought Yuto was about to insult him much like Sora, but was surprised when Yuto apologized on Sora's behalf and cited that Sora had changed and become a more decent person now. Not having much of any real grudge with Sora, on top of being used to things like this by now, Ichigo accepted it nonetheless. Ichigo would also wish Yuto well on his relationship with Ruri, noting that it's similar to the early stages of his bond with Orihime, which Yuto accepted while being flustered.
    • When Ichigo finally did meet Sora again later on, it was a chance encounter during a night out with his wife. The boy immediately put on his charm offensive to get Orihime to give him some money. She was about to do so, but Ichigo recognized him and saw through the charade. The boy apologized, then asked Ichigo whether his cutesy demeanor had any effect on him, only to receive a blunt nope for his trouble. Admitting it was worth a shot, Sora walked off, but left an interesting message as he did so.
    Sora: [while waving off to Ichigo behind him] By the way, I'm really sorry about attacking you before, Kurosaki! Maybe we should hang out sometime!
    Ichigo: Quit trying to charm me, you little dumbass! I told you I can see through it!
    [Sora turns his head back to Ichigo with his tongue sticking out, a more genuinely cutesy yet punkish moment. Orihime laughs at this, while Ichigo looks dumbfounded the whole time.]
  • If anything, don't present him any Martial Arts Headband. He thinks it's either trying to make oneself unnecessarily nerdy, or he suspects that it's just a trick to embarrass him, like claiming it has special powers and can only be activated if he yells out of blue: "AMAZING HEADBAND OF JUSTICE IN PLACE, AMAZING ARMOR OF JUSTICE PROTECT ME!!!", only for it to do nothing.
    • Ichigo pulled a quick swerve one day when Naruto tried to give him a standard Konoha ninja uniform and told him it would transform on him and make him invulnerable to pain. After putting on the uniform, including the headband and flak jacket, he made the aforementioned incantation — but then added a zinger:
    Ichigo: AMAZING HEADBAND OF JUSTICE IN PLACE, AMAZING ARMOR OF JUSTICE PROTECT ME!!! [beat] BECAUSE I KNOW YOU CAN'T TRANSFORM AT ALL!!!
    • Naruto himself burst into laughter at that one.
  • Encountered Charlie Nash a few times due to Nash's multiple trips through the line between life and death. Ichigo's ability to balance out when it's time to be Hot-Blooded and when it's time to keep a cool head left the captain impressed, but Charlie thinks him to be too trusting.
  • Ichigo came to the house of Heroes to actually visit Zero once... only to catch none other than old foe Shukuro Tsukishima trying to cut Naruto with Book of the End. Quickly alarmed, he abandoned his original plan, warned Naruto what Tsukishima was trying to do, and joined the battle against the Xcution mentalist. Police chief Lin Beifong arrived and intervened to interrogate both sides, and after each side claimed the other was the aggressor, Lin asked each of them which house they were from. Ichigo was the only one who didn't claim Heroes; she deduced from there that he couldn't have been the perp and promptly chased off Tsukishima.
  • Orihime introduced him to Nero, who thought she looked and sounded similar to a girlfriend of his. In turn, she thought he sounded just like a slightly more uncouth version of Ichigo. Furthermore, it turns out they're both hybrids. The similarities were too strange for either to process right away, although Ichigo soon realized Nero's more like Gohan, a Half-Human Hybrid with incredible potential said to go beyond his full-blooded predecessor. Fortunately the white hair makes the two easy to tell apart.
    • Many deities would purposely call Nero and Ichigo by each other's names after that. Once Ichigo realized what was going on, he just sighed in boredom at the stupidity.
  • As orange-haired teenage swordsmen go, he was challenged to a sword fight by one Scott Pilgrim, who heard of him and was apparently a fan. Ichigo beat him, but Scott surprised him by promising to keep getting better and challenging him until he can force Ichigo to have to use his Soul Reaper powers against him. Ichigo looks forward to each spar with Scott, as the young man does continue to improve.
  • Ichigo and Naruto eventually decided to finally settle their rivalry and find out once and for all who was stronger in a one on one fight to the finish. They were taken to a place where death wouldn't stick at all in order to make this work. While Ichigo proved to be faster, Naruto's superior durability, destructive power, training and versatility proved too much for Ichigo to handle and the fight ended up escalating to the point where Ichigo used Mugetsu after even his Merged Hollow Form proved to not be enough, and Naruto responded by tanking the blow and basically overkilling Ichigo with his Six Paths: Ultra Big Ball Rasenshuriken and Tailed Beast Bomb at the same time once Ichigo lost his powers. The two still remain on good terms even after the battle, though.

Safind: I think they could interact with Killua Zoldyck, a child who has been an assassin since birth due to his family being a long family line of assassins. Despite his successful career as an assassin and huge potential, Killua has no desire to become one and wants to be free.
