| 23 | * Opposed by/Opposes: '''[[Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers The Monster Hunters]]''' and others of their profession, '''[[Pantheon/PrehistoricBeasts The Gang of Seven (Littlefoot, Cera, Ducky, Petrie, Spike, Chomper and Ruby)]]''', [[Pantheon/HeroicArchetypes Link]], users of [[ShockAndAwe electricity]] and the Hall of Pantheon/{{Electricity}} |
| 24 | * An expedition through [[Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna the Bestiary]] led by [[Pantheon/BeastHandlers Steve Irwin]] came across large spikes that were initially assumed to be teeth, although further inspection proved that not to be the case. Not even a second later, several mortals traveling with the expedition were nearly crushed by a falling carcass riddled with the same spikes. After returning and telling them what happened, the House of Pantheon/{{Science}} wasted no time on analyzing the spikes while the Hall of Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers was tasked with tracking down whatever caused it. After gaining a lead, they eventually made their way to the House of Pantheon/FightingAndCombat, where they were greeted with the sight of a hulking figure battling against the much larger [[Pantheon/ElementsAndNatureOther Gogmazios]]. The beast promptly dive-bombed them and gave them one hell of a beating before taking off, destroying everything else in its path. By that point, the title of '''[[TakesOneToKillOne Being One's Own Counter]]''' had already been bestowed. |
| 25 | * The top classification given by the Hunter's Guild are the Elder Dragons; a remarkably diverse set of creatures despite their title and known for the destructive power each member possesses. Yama Tsukami, for example, is an octopus-like monster overgrown with flora capable of clearing out entire forests with vortexes, while Kirin is a unicorn-like monster with the ability to control lightning. Few monsters choose to pick fights with them, much less use them as a food source - with several notable exceptions, e.g., the ever-hungry Deviljho will devour anything in its vicinity, while Rajang is noted to hunt down Kirin for their horns - likely resulting in its affinity with the Thunder element. However, Nergigante stands out even among ''those'' due to its diet being ''primarily'' Elder Dragons due to their rich bioenergy. |
| 26 | * At first glance, Nergigante seems rather lackluster compared to its fellow Elder Dragons. It lacks the ability to control the elements like many of its kin; it's far from being the largest Elder Dragon with [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent Dalamadur]] and [[NotZilla Zorah Magdaros]] being the size of mountains; and it's not even the most potentially catastrophic such as[[TheVirus Shagaru Magala]] or [[AnimalisticAbomination Dire Miralis]]. What it ''does'' have is overwhelming physical prowess, which, when combined with its regenerative spikes, allow it to go toe-to-toe with many of its counterparts. Perhaps its most notorious attack is when it rapidly grows a large number of hardened spikes before crashing headlong into its opponents, doing damage comparable to a runaway freight train at full speed. That said, this attack does break all of its spikes in the process, leaving it vulnerable while it regenerates them. |
| 27 | ** In fact, aside from its weakness to lightning, if there's any other exploitable weaknesses it has, it would be [[AttackAttackAttack its own relentless nature]]. Several of its own attacks destroy whatever spikes that have yet to harden, which is a tad bit detrimental to the whole point of it becoming a more dangerous threat as the fight goes on. That said, it is still [[KnowWhenToFoldEm smart enough to recognize when it's been outmatched,]] such as when it once found itself facing both Teostra and Lunastra at once. |
| 28 | * Due to the lack of ascended Elder Dragons in the Pantheon, Nergigante took to hunting down those that would serve as substitutes. It's relatively common to see Nergigante hunting down a legendary Pokémon before being put back in its place by other deities. It's also a common sight to see it fighting with Goliath, although these fights rarely escalate due to the No-Kill order on the latter on account of it being [[RealityWarper surprisingly more powerful than it lets on]], meaning it could become much more of a threat should it [[ResurrectiveImmortality perish and be allowed to reform]]. It doesn't go after the Ruined Dragon, though, seemingly waiting for a more opportune time. |
| 29 | ** One day while flying through the House of Pantheon/FightingAndCombat Nergigante spotted a cartoonish green dragon napling on a tower. The Elder Dragon took one good long look at the thing and deduced it wasn't worth bothering with and moved on. After circling back to leave the House, it bore witness to [[Pantheon/{{Science}} Dr. Wily]] and his forces meeting said dragon with an army of living fireballs. Wily was soon defeated by the dragon, who turned out to be Grim Matchstick, and fled the scene while Nergigante observed before departing as well, desiring to eventually discover which one of the two was stronger. Grim only managed to catch a glimpse of Nergigante, though he still sensed the negative aura radiating from its fellow dragon. |
| 30 | * At some point, it decided to tail various other hunters to find potential meals. This eventually lead to Nergigante following the Dovahkiin who was, in turn, pursuing a group of dragons. One dragon managed to escape the Dragonborn's sight during the chaos, only to end up coming face to face with the Extinction Dragon itself and was disposed of just as quickly as it arrived. The Dragonborn and Nergigante ended up staring each other down after the other dragons had been dealt with, with it not being long before they clashed. What happened in the fight is uncertain, but the duel did cause Nergigante to see the Dragonborn as a competitor. Miraak meanwhile found a potentially powerful dragon that could prove useful in his future schemes. |
| 31 | ** Given that Nergigante is a dragon, and after hearing its unsuccessful attempts at fighting the Ruined Dragon, Bowser immediately planned to try and take control of it like he did with the Ruined Dragon, not remembering the failure with Vaal Hazak due to the amount of attention drawn. Sure enough, his goals ended up clashing with the Daedric Prince Hircine due to his own interest in the Elder Dragon. Rumor has it that after seeing Nergigante completely overwhelm some nameless beast in the Pantheon, the Huntsman of the Princes is considering gifting it lycanthropy like what he had done to a Daedroth in the past. With how much of an unrelenting beast the Extinction Dragon is already, most others are very much against it. Nergigante, meanwhile, is mostly annoyed with the two for bothering it. |
| 32 | * In the New World it was mistakenly blamed for the disturbances regarding Elder Dragon behavior. In reality, it was Xeno'Jiiva's doing, luring in Elder Dragons so it could feed upon their bioenergy to grow and mature. All Nergigante did was rile up its fellow Elder Dragons into moving to other areas, mucking up various ecosystems in the process. The Extinction Dragon still holds a grudge against the Monster Hunters because of this. |
| 33 | * Some deities have pointed out the similarities between him and Nosferatu Zodd. Nergigante didn't seem to care that much, but Zodd seemed slightly amused. Every now and then they can be seen fighting each other in the House of Pantheon/FightingAndCombat. |
| 34 | * There is an m assumption circulating among the various hunters in the Pantheon that Nergigante is able to hunt its fellow Elders due to the fact that it possesses the ability to inflict [[AntiMagic Elderseal]]. This mainly stems from the weapons made from it having the ability to inflict this effect, and gear made from monsters tend to inherit traits similar to their living owners. Admittedly, it's not as concrete as you may think. The House of Pantheon/{{Science}} is looking deeper into this but Nergigante isn't the most cooperative when it comes to such investigations. Some scientists asked the Hunter's Guild for information, having heard that Nergigante had been seen in the old world as well. While true, their information was so limited they didn't even classify the thing as an Elder Dragon back then. |
| 35 | * The etymology of Nergigante's name can be broken up into two parts: Nergal, [[Myth/MesopotamianMythology the Mesopotamian God of war, death and destruction]] and gigante, meaning giant in Latin. It can also be read a portmanteau for Nero Gigante (lit. Black Giant) in many Latin languages. Given that it's a bulky dragon capable of taking on other legendary creatures, as well as its penchant for destruction, [[MeaningfulName it fits quite well]]. |

| 56 | ** Others: [[Pantheon/DraconicBeings Bowser]], [[Pantheon/{{Mouths}} Sharptooth]], [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Indominus Rex and]] [[Pantheon/ArtificialBeings Indoraptor]] |
| 57 | * Anguirus is quite an odd kaiju, first appearing in 1955 where it fought against the second Godzilla in a battle to the death that devastated Tokyo once more. Just one year after the death of the original. It perished in battle, but eventually returned in the form of a second one who instead became allies with Godzilla, becoming Godzilla's best friend. What he lacks in fancy and showy powers, he makes up for with an admirable amount of brute strength and determination that is not to be taken lightly. Ever since his reappearances, Anguirus might not have the best track record of all Kaiju, but his bravery and strength are valuable assets regardless and has proven himself as a force to be reckoned with. |
| 58 | * Anguirus quickly met up with his fellow Kaiju such as [[Pantheon/PositiveReaction Godzilla]], [[Pantheon/{{Insects}} Mothra]] and [[Pantheon/MesozoicBeasts Rodan]]. Together they made sure to stay aware of each other's allies and be supporters to the forces of good. He's also hoping to prove his worth to the world, as he laments that most only remember scenarios where he lost, forgetting that he's been easily capable of taking down human armies and was perfectly capable of giving Godzilla a hard time in their first encounters and fight. |
| 59 | * Anguirus and Godzilla started out as enemies, but have since turned into the best of friends and are generally seen together when exploring or wandering around the Pantheon, even chatting in ocassions, Anguirus will protect Godzilla from harm even if he loses his life in the process, similarly to how Mothra will do. Godzilla himself respects Anguirus ever since the monster was able to evenly match him in their first fight for a good while, and has reciprocated his friendship since the day they both fought against Gigan and King Ghidorah. From time to time you can even hear them outright talking with one another, much to everyone else's confusion. |
| 60 | * He still hasn't forgotten about the instance where [[Pantheon/TypesOfMechas MechaGodzilla]] snapped his jaw, forcing him to flee. Or the instance that Gigan made him bleed profusely, or just about anytime that Ghidorah bullied him. That said, Anguirus has proven that he's no pushover against them and has been getting out of his reputation as a "loser" as recent years have recognized his virtues, notably it's been seen that he was capable of fighting and driving off [[Pantheon/{{Shapeshifters}} Destoroyah]] (with some help from humans), an action that has also had the after-effect of making Destoroyah see Anguirus as its number 2 priority to take down after he's done with Godzilla. His interactions with [=MechaGodzilla=] have also made him way of {{Evil Doppelganger}}s, as Mechagodzilla started out impersonating Godzilla before revealing its true identity once the real deal showed up to fight it. |
| 61 | * He enjoys a more amicable relationship with King Kong and Gamera than Godzilla does, as he is eager to help them out in their struggles and hasn't really had a clash with either, though it occasionally gets a little awkward with his interactions with King Kong due to the latter having once snapped Gorosaurus' jaw, given how Gorosaurus is an ally of Anguirus himself. Like everyone else, Anguirus is looking forward to the rematch of Kong and Godzilla, as he was a bit disappointed to find out that Godzilla lost the first round and so hopes he can win the second time around. |
| 62 | * As a BadassNormal among Kaiju it earned the respect of various Toku Heroes, particularly the [[Pantheon/UltraSeries Ultras]] as many of them have fought alongside heroic Kaiju and are impressed by Anguirus' never-ending determination despite his lack of powers compared to most of his peers. As well as [[Pantheon/FormsOfMedia Moonlight Mask]], who as a BadassNormal himself, admires that Anguirus can stand out among his peers despite his lack of flashy moves or powers. |
| 63 | ** In the side of Pantheon/UltraSeries Deities, Anguirus has obtained a new friendly rivalry with the Kaiju Gomora, fellow melee fighter under the command of [[Pantheon/{{Duels}} Rei]]. Similarly to Godzilla's and Gomora's small rivalry, Anguirus respects his fellow dinosaur Kaiju for being strong and fighting for justice and good. |
| 64 | * Is friends with dinosaur deities in the Pantheon, mostly those such as Rexie, the Raptor Pack, Speckles and The Gang of Seven due to their relatively friendly and neutral behavior. On the flip side it absolutely hates evil or legitimately sadistic dinosaurs such as [[Pantheon/AnimalBehavior One-Eye]], [[Pantheon/{{Mindsets}} Indominus Rex]] and the [[Pantheon/ArtificialBeings Indoraptor]] as they have killed many creatures for fun, which reminds Anguirus of the sadistic Gigan and King Ghidorah. Anguirus has had to many times show them that in spite of not having any flashy powers or overtly showy abilities he is still as force to be reckoned with. |
| 65 | ** Similarly, deities who admire dinosaurs are friends with Anguirus, particularly Harry, who was impressed to see a giant ankylosaur; Harry's dinosaurs also became friends with Anguirus quickly. Anguirus will occasionally give them piggyback rides in good spirit, enjoying Harry's passion for dinosaurs and admiration of him |
| 66 | ** The [[Pantheon/ColorCombinations Mighty Morphin]] and [[Pantheon/OtherPowers Dino Thunder]] Pantheon/PowerRangers teams also earned Anguirus' favor due to their use of dinosaur powers as well as being enemies with [[Pantheon/{{Science}} Mesogog]], who Anguirus has nothing but contempt for due to his actions. If the need ever comes for Anguirus to help them, he will do so without any doubt. |
| 67 | * [[Pantheon/PersonalAppearance Alan Grant]] was impressed by Anguirus' size, as the giant Kaiju dinosaur was quite something to behold. He does appreciate that Anguirus is a real dinosaur all on his own instead of an experiment, and his existence has made Grant curious about the dinosaurs of Anguirus' world, given Grant's awareness of Godzilla being mutated by an atom bomb. [[Pantheon/PhysicalAppearance Malcolm]] and [[Pantheon/{{Mentalities}} John Hammond]] were also impressed to meet the Kaiju in person and have grown curious about the Kaiju that Anguirus is allies with as well. Anguirus appreciates their interest in him in return. |
| 68 | * Curiously enough, he formed a large connection with Connie Mashewaran of the Crystal Gems, as Connie is TheTeamNormal to the rest of the Crystal Gems with her fighting skills being her only "power", yet not being any less capable than her mentors and teammates. Their commonality also made Anguirus become friends with the rest of the Steven Universe deities, who generally get along much better with him than they do with Godzilla. Anguirus also likes to hear that they were able to save their Earth from harm, even if he feels somewhat unsure about the Diamonds and their actions. |
| 69 | * [[Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood Cosmos]] herself has major respect for Anguirus' unending determination, which she considers makes Anguirus far stronger than many who have mocked him for his not-quite-stellar track record, with herself denoting how his determination paid off immensely in many situations, as such she has made sure to make Anguirus' reputation one of respect in the Pantheon/GrandUnitedAllianceOfGood, which Anguirus' allies have fully supported. |
| 70 | ** This Determination of his has also earned him allies in the Pantheon/{{Undertale}} Deities, particularly Frisk, as they admire his refusal to stand down when beaten back and desire to do good and save the day even when the odds are not in his favor. He also [[spoiler:came to know of Flowey's true identity and alignment and is willing to be allies with him in secret, hoping to get Flowey on better terms with everyone else eventually.]] |
| 71 | * Like his allies, he heavily opposes and seeks to exterminate the Gyaos' race, knowing that their uncontrolled growth will lead to their species spreading and destroying everything they find, including the Pantheon itself, and thus makes sure to stick close to his allies in any case of a Gyaos emergency. His help is greatly appreciated by Gamera, who likes that another Earth monster participates in protecting the planet. |

| 85 | * Is very, ''very'', [[BerserkButton sensitive]] over her lack of "[[ACupAngst maturity]]," and any mention of such within earshot is met with Horrible, Painful Death(TM). A good deal of the other Gods ''[[JustTheWayYouAre like]]'' it, mind you, but she won't hear any of it. |
| 86 | * Hacked the Pantheon for the purposes of changing her ranking. Haruhi's been trying to change it back for some time, to no avail. |
| 87 | * Is one of the few deities that has defeated Adell in fair combat. Though some suggest that it would not have happened if Rozalin (His girlfriend) didn't insult her [[ACupAngst chest size]], thus pressing her biggest BerserkButton. |
| 88 | * Her treatment of the Prinnies is strongly frowned upon by many members in the House of Beasts. Not that this makes any difference on her treatment of her beaked slaves, mind you... |
| 89 | * Under normal circumstances (i.e. being an enemy of anyone with bra size C and above) she would be Shion's enemy. However, Shion's mischievous nature won her over. That and a certain prank Shion played on Laharl that she couldn't stop laughing at for days. |
| 90 | * [[VideoGame/DisgaeaDimension2 After ending a crisis in the Netherworld]], Laharl and Flonne returned to the pantheon without Etna for reasons they refuse to explain. [[spoiler:She was in a coma for weeks after a nearly fatal exposure to "The Artifact of Absolute Death"]]. Etna eventually returned with a power boost, but has been seen struggling with it. |
| 91 | * Ever since she managed to bring in the Prinnies into the Pantheon, she has begun to question this choice. Even though she gets to enjoy the luxury of having hundreds of servants at her disposal, she still has to deal with the constant attacks from [[Pantheon/{{Otherness}} Warboss Ghazghkull]] since he is always in need of a new batch of Prinnies [[BloodKnight along the need of a brutal battle]]. Though she has about as many victories as she has losses against him, she still has to sacrifice many Prinnies in the process due to the destruction that the fights cause. |
| 92 | * [[spoiler:Is taking part in "The Pantheonic Rebellion" to back up Flonne]]. |
| 93 | * When she heard about the formation of 'League of Flat Chest', Etna wasted no time to propose for leadership, hilariously threatening everyone that she can [[LevelGrinding grind her levels to]] [[MemeticMutation over nine thousand]] and make everyone still submit to her anyway. Even the proposer, Noel Vermillion, had to accept that proposal, despite her [[ACupAngst title]]. Etna was pleased. |
| 94 | * [[Pantheon/BeastsAndFauna The Penguins of Madagascar]] have declared her their sworn enemy, condemning her treatment of the Prinnies due to being "penguins" no matter how many times others try to tell them differently. Etna personally considers them a nuisance, though due to them actually getting the better of her on several occasions, even she has ''some'' [[WorthyOpponent level of respect]] for them. |

| 110 | * The second eldest of the Hokuto brothers and Raoh’s biological younger brother, not only does Toki have a heart that surpasses even Kenshiro’s in terms of kindness, his skills in Hokuto Shinken surpasses that of Kenshiro and even Raoh to the point that Toki would have been the proper successor of that martial art. Such an event didn’t happen thanks to Toki protecting Kenshiro, his girlfriend Yuria, and thousands of innocent lives from nuclear fallout, resulting in Toki becoming gravely ill and relinquishing the role of the successor of Hokuto Shinken to Kenshiro. While Hokuto Shinken is known for being a deadly combat skill, Toki sought to use it as a healing art and even in his weakened state, Toki traveled across the post-apocalyptic wasteland to bring miracles for sick people and remains a skilled fighter for when he needs to be on the offensive. |
| 111 | * For every section of the Pantheon that continues to thrive, there will be a part that suffers from immense damage and that was what happened to some towns whose prosperity was gone after they were the target of an unprovoked terrorist attack that left many injured and several others dead. Hope wasn’t completely gone for these ruined locations as a man visited those towns and healed the survivors, allowing them to rebuild what was gone. Word spread across the Pantheon of this messiah, known as Toki, and word reached Kenshiro, who looked for him and reunited with him following a battle with some vile stragglers looking to take over a town for themselves. Kenshiro told Toki of the Pantheon, a place filled with promise and danger, as well as what had happened between him and Raoh following Toki’s battle with the latter. Even in a place as unpredictable as the Pantheon, Toki sought to continue his duty of healing the innocent, fighting back against those that threaten them when the need arises. |
| 112 | * Even in the Pantheon, Toki has continued traveling to places in need to help those who are suffering recover. Unlike the sprawling wasteland that he was familiar with, the Pantheon had many medical facilities designed to handle all sorts of medical problems, places that Toki was more than willing to go to in case they’re dealing with a patient that has a grave illness that can’t be taken care of through normal means. He then learned of a House of Health and Diseases, which functioned as a sort of centerpiece for how the Pantheon handles the injured and sick and housing many deities that specialize in that particular field. It was there that he met Florence Nightingale, a renowned medic who has proven to be a good ally for Toki, both when it comes to tending the ill and in battle thanks to Florence having a more battle-ready Servant version. Toki appreciates Florence’s help, but does believe that she could tone down some of her more questionable traits when it comes to dealing with ill patients whenever she’s in her Berserker form. |
| 113 | * In order to fully heal someone from whatever illness they have, Toki has to strike any particular pressure points from his patient. While it does sound painful in theory, it’s a much lighter touch compared to how Hokuto Shinken normally works where the pressure points have to be touched much harder in order to cause serious pain to someone. Among the deities that are able to use their hands to heal someone (though in a much more painless manner) was Asia Argento, a girl with a level of kindness on par with Toki. She was saddened that Toki had to go through a lot in a post-apocalyptic world with a condition that left him weakened, but admired his determination throughout all of it. Toki knew that Asia had to go through her own pain to ensure the happiness of her own friends and the two have maintained a good friendship with each other since their initial meeting. |
| 114 | * Toki is, by all accounts, a very altruistic doctor that wants to ensure that humanity continues to prosper even when terrible danger is afoot. That said, he has a problem when people misuse something for their own gain, such as when he called out Amiba (who later impersonated Toki not only to try and ruin his reputation, but to be better at Hokuto Shinken) for misusing Hokuto Shinken. Toki did find some morally questionable medics whose practices put patients at greater risk than before and him seeing The Medic attempt to “practice” his medicine on a gravely ill patient resulted in Toki interfering just as that patient was on the verge of dying due to supposed medical malpractice. Toki was able to save the patient in time and after the latter was transferred to another room, The Medic got annoyed at what Toki did. Toki responded by stating that being a medic isn’t something that should be taken lightly. The two haven’t been friendly with each other since then, with The Medic thinking that Toki doesn’t understand what The Medic is really capable of. |
| 115 | * Generally speaking, the frequent conflicts that occur in the Pantheon, both in well-adjusted locations and in more ruined places, meant that Toki had a lot of places to go to, various other healers to meet, and an assortment of other conditions and ailments to learn about. There were plenty of benevolent medics for Toki to work with such as SCP-2295, of whom Toki has helped with whenever a patient has brain damage of some kind in spite of the teddy bear being a very unorthodox healer, but there were a number of other questionable doctors that he took issue with (especially if they’re doing work solely for themselves without regard towards their patients’ lives). What Toki subsequently learned was that there were some deities who suffered serious conditions that can’t be fully remedied with Hokuto Shinken, but it wasn’t going to stop him from finding a way to let those people continue to live, even if their permanent condition is a serious handicap to their lifestyle. |
| 116 | * When they were both young, Toki was told by Raoh to seal his fists and render him unable to use Hokuto Shinken should Raoh end up being power-hungry. The two eventually ended up in conflict, with a weakened Toki, despite using an ability to boost his strength at the cost of his lifespan, being unable to stop Raoh from going further with his ambitions of being a conqueror of the wastelands. Among those who were in a similar situation as Toki’s was Naruto, who ended up in conflict with his [[Pantheon/CharacterArchetypes Sasuke]], who ended up in a dark path for revenge. Eventually, Sasuke did realize the error of his actions and Naruto still considers him a valuable friend, though Raoh’s redemption didn’t happen until after his climactic battle with Kenshiro, when Toki had died well before then. Toki finds Naruto’s perseverance in the face of dire situations admirable and Naruto sees Toki as a great man who’ll put himself on the line for others, even if Toki’s attempt to put an end to his former friend’s rampage didn’t work out at first. |
| 117 | * Toki put it upon himself to stop Raoh once the latter was driven by power to take over the wastelands. Even so, Raoh still holds plenty of respect for him and Kenshiro despite keeping his kindness very well-hidden. Even if Raoh had changed for the better in the Pantheon, other wastelanders didn’t much to Toki’s dismay and one of the worst was Immortan Joe. His unrelenting desire to make others suffer while fancying himself as a “messiah” of the wasteland was more than enough to earn Toki’s ire and the fact that Joe started off as a legitimate hero during the wars that later led to the end of civilization and becoming who he is now only made it worse. Should Immortan Joe grow in power too much and find some powerful entities to aid him, then it’s something that Kenshiro, Toki, and Raoh are willing to work together in order to stop Joe from achieving his goal. |
| 118 | * Of those who have had to endure life in a post-apocalyptic world, Joshua Graham was someone who was interested in Toki for a number of reasons, especially after the latter was traveling around for a bit and ended up having to save Joshua from a group of thugs that wanted to harm him further. Looking at how bad Joshua’s injuries were even before he was attacked, Toki could tell that it wasn’t something that can easily be remedied and the most he could do was lessen the pain Joshua was suffering from for a few days. During their conversation, Toki learned about how Joshua got his injuries and how he sought to become a better person after realizing what he was doing and how he failed to stop the people he was formerly working with from causing widespread damage across the wasteland. Toki saw a bit of himself in him in regards to sustained injuries (though Toki’s condition isn’t as noticeable as Joshua’s) and failure to stop a former comrade of theirs from conquering the wastelands, with the two getting along with each other since then. |
| 119 | * Despite being a gangster and being the leader of a group of such, Giorno Giovanna ultimately has a benevolent goal in mind: to take over the Passione Mafia and have the mob protect the weak instead of taking advantage of them. His Stand, Gold Experience, can heal others in a very unorthodox manner and whenever he gets serious, it’s against those that are truly heartless. Although this is related to a profession that is morally ambiguous at best, Toki knew that what Giorno was trying to accomplish was reform and change for the better, something that Kenshiro sought on a much wider scale regarding the ruined world. The two get along with each other fairly well, with Giorno stating that if he lived in a devastated world like where Toki and Kenshiro come from, he would still lead with a group, but ensure that innocents don’t get harmed in any capacity at all and make sure that overall life . |
| 120 | * With his skills being able to create “miracles” for others and highly benevolent character in regards to such, many have seen Toki to be very similar to a certain Jesus Christ, especially regarding his appearance. Toki only wanted to be seen as someone who wanted to help out others in need, but otherwise didn’t hold anything against the comparisons. Things got unusual for him after some odd people claimed that Toki was the living incarnation of something known as [[Pantheon/MaximumSecurity The Saint’s Corpse]]. Even after hearing that it’s completed form could fulfill wishes so long as they don’t have ill-intent (much like how Toki only has selfless goals in mind), Toki made it clear that he and the Saint’s Corpse are not one and the same. |

| 136 | * Rival: [[Pantheon/MannersOfDeath Saitou Musashibou Benkei]] |
| 137 | * The famed, legendary LadyOfWar that has ever graced Japan or perhaps the world. Tomoe is just as beautiful as she is deadly, taking the heads of her enemies with ease. She was denied of a chance to die together with her beloved husband Kiso no Yoshinaka and had to retreat. None knew what happened to her, until she's spotted within the Pantheon. |
| 138 | ** It was around that time that the former holder of [[LadyOfWar this spot]], [[Franchise/LyricalNanoha Signum of the Wolkenritter]] has been considering to find a place where she could be together with her fellow Wolkenritter. Tomoe's arrival was perfect. A bit arrangement here and there, and she officially took the place. |
| 139 | * Even today, visitors of her temple seems to admire her looks quite a lot. She's apparently not just beautiful, she's 'too {{moe}}'. |
| 140 | * She's a bit disappointed that Yoshinaka didn't make it to the Pantheon. Hence, in free time, she still dedicated her prayer to await his return. No one ever succeeded in wooing her because she turned all of them down. |
| 141 | * Within her temple, [[GamerChick she stores a ton of video game consoles]] thanks to [[VideoGame/FateGrandOrder the experience she had in Chaldea.]] She plays a lot of fighting games online, and regularly goes to the [[Pantheon/{{Gaming}} Gaming House]] to put her gaming skills to the test. |
| 142 | * She has also once lent her strength to [[VideoGame/{{Persona 4}} Chie Satonaka]] as her Persona, a partnership that carried on even as the latter dealt with [[VideoGame/Persona4Arena Hi-No-Kagutsuchi]]. Tomoe also likes to main her master in fighting games. However, she really doesn't like insinuations that [[WebComic/{{Hiimdaisy}} she speaks skanky whore, or her head back in the days looks like a dominatrix banana-head.]] |
| 143 | * It was much to her delight that within the Pantheon she could meet some people she liked to use in her video games. In particular, [[Franchise/StreetFighter Zangief]] and [[Franchise/BlazBlue Ragna the Bloodedge]] ([[https://twitter.com/chickchickjo/status/956843031151325184 one of her best gaming memories was finally learning the]] [[{{Shoryuken}} Dragon Punch]] motion while playing as Ragna.) |
| 144 | * To her, she has no personal enemies. However, she still held an enmity within the Minamoto clan that caused the death of Yoshinaka, in particular Yoritomo's men. She has claimed that should Minamoto no Yoshitsune arrive in the Pantheon, perhaps she would have to take arm once more to reclaim Yoshinaka's honor. |
| 145 | ** Of course, she had to get past Yoshitsune's bodyguard Benkei first. At this moment, both of them were surprisingly matched evenly. |
| 146 | ** There is, however, [[BerserkButton one thing]] that would make them agree to a cease-fire and do an EnemyMine: The mention of ''VideoGame/GenpeiToumaDen''. Tomoe might not appear there (and maybe she would have fun looking at Yoritomo, Yoshitsune and Benkei looking like evil demons), but she's absolutely incensed at seeing her Yoshinaka being an evil demon there. Oh sure, she might have gotten some oni blood somewhere, but this goes past the line and any 'fun' factors got transformed into a seething hatred. |
| 147 | * The Onna-Bugeisha she inspired seemed to be rather synonymous with [[NaginatasAreFeminine naginata]], which almost had Tomoe compete with the holder of the throne, [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Momiji]]. Still, Tomoe refused since naginatas are just one of the many weapons she excelled at, so she decided to stay friends with her. [[VideoGame/NinjaGaiden Just don't bring the original trilogy of games of Momiji's respected friend to her way too often]], [[NintendoHard Tomoe ended up developing migraines against birds that way]]. |
| 148 | * Has attended Beni-enma's Heroic Spirit cooking class before, where [[https://twitter.com/Rexlent/status/1080005921151971332 she found out the hard way that "Culinary Skill" was her dump stat]]. She now begrudgingly spends some time she would have spent in the House of Gaming at the House of Food, where the members of the Chaldea Kitchen Team are doing their best to prevent a repeat of that incident from ever happening. |

Hood]] |
| 166 | * Opposes: [[Pantheon/HuntersAndSlayers Buffy Summers]] |
| 167 | * Valkenhayn R. Hellsing is the loyal servant of the [[VampireMonarch Alucard family]]. A former member of the {{Immortal Breaker}}s and one of the Six Heroes who helped lead humanity into defeating the [[BeastOfTheApocalypse Black Beast]]. Valkenhayn was a FormerTeenRebel ([[NinetiesAntiHero a lot like Ragna actually]]) until he and [[WeUsedToBeFriends Relius Clover]] were contracted to kill Clavis Alucard, [[ForegoneConclusion they failed]]. After multiple confrontations and assassination attempts, Valkenhayn would swear UndyingLoyalty to his new master. Said loyalty would last even after Clavis's death and continue towards his daughter, Rachel Alucard. His greatest wish, is that Clavis returns from death, so he can continue to serve ''both'' members of the Alucard family. |
| 168 | * Valkenhayn was once a follower of Hayate Ayasaki, God of [[BattleButler Battle Butlers]], and made a few appearances here and there at the behest of Rachel Alucard, for he shall always be available to tend to her ladyship. After amassing even more power after her deification, Rachel was finally able to fully manifest Valkenhayn within the Pantheon as the God of [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent Cool ]][[WolfMan Werewolves]]. |
| 169 | ** He would eventually give up his titles to [[Videogame/{{Warcraft}} Genn Greymane]] and [[Film/TheWolfMan1941 Larry Talbot]], believing them to be more worthy of it. Instead he chose a title that best represented his loyalty and servitude to his master, Rachel Alucard. Hence he is now the God of {{Submissive Badass}}es. |
| 170 | * When Valkenhayn had ascended, the first thing he did was to greet his master, as well as prepare her some tea. Rachel was very pleased to see her faithful servant in pantheon, she even invited (read forcibly teleported) many gods from their home world to celebrate. Valkenhayn was happy to see both his old comrades Hakumen and Nine, alive and well. |
| 171 | ** He wasn't however happy to see Ragna, nor was Ragna very happy to see him. But he was even ''less'' happy to hear that both Relius and Terumi were here in pantheon. Knowing that they were still around has encouraged Valkenhayn to search and make new allies, along with the others that Rachel had made, to finally put an end to the two hated gods. |
| 172 | * While not many werewolves in Pantheon [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent are the same]], Valkenhayn's kind tends to stand out. The reason is that his race was created with the use of sorcery. Therefore he, and by extension other lycanthropes, exist outside of "logic" or "reason". Not only do the natural laws mean nothing to him, but it allows Valkenhayn to do what would otherwise be [[BeyondTheImpossible considered impossible]]. One of them being how he has a natural high immunity to both [[TimeMaster temporal]] and [[RealityWarper dimensional manipulations]]. Only high level Intermediate Gods and above can get past this. Another is that he can tear apart a PureMagicBeing, [[ImmortalBreaker immortals]] and EldritchAbomination with his ''bare hands''. |
| 173 | ** It should be said, the near hundred years since the Dark War have both greatly aged and weakened Valkenhayn. He isn't as strong as he used to be... but that doesn't mean he's [[BroughtDownToBadass weak]]. Even at his old age, he can still wipe the floor with OneManArmies and PersonsOfMassDestruction. |
| 174 | * Being the [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] [[BattleButler butler]] he is, Valkenhayn found new allies with others with a [[BattleButler similar]] [[NinjaMaid profession]]. He even became part of a team full of similar servant deities. |
| 175 | * Valkenhayn is a bit popular with his fellow werewolves. One was with a werewolf by the name of Fenrich. The two see a lot in one another, both are deeply [[UndyingLoyalty loyal]] to their [[OurVampiresAreDifferent vampiric]] masters, both are former mercenaries, and both wouldn't hesitate to kill one another if their respected masters were to order it. The two actually formed a pact with one another, said pact being that they would aid one another in returning their masters to their former glory. Valvatorez would retain his Tyrant status and Rachel would retain her powers as an Onlooker. |
| 176 | ** Of course Fenrich wasn't the only werewolf that Valkenhayn met. He also came in contact with Bigby Wolf, Darius Crowley, Jon Talbain, and Akira Kaburagi. Valkenhayn feels most comfortable and similar to Bigby, Darius and the previously mentioned Greymane, as werewolves that are capable of maintaining both their sanity and identity in their [[WolfMan transformed state]]. He looks fondly over Jon Talbain and Akira Kaburagi, offering them training should they wish for it, as well as blessings and support over their respective relationships. Jon, while grateful for the training, is embarrassed about his "relationship" with Felicia. Akira, while grateful for his support with his relationship with Mina, has yet commented about the training proposal. |
| 177 | ** While there are a number of werewolves that Valkenhayn finds to be good company, the same can ''not'' be said with Fenrir Greyback. He views him with nothing but utter disgust, and has taken every opportunity to give him an absolute ''[[CurbStompBattle brutal]]'' [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown beating]]. Letting Fenrir know that despite being TheDreaded in the wizard world, he's ''[[AlwaysSomeoneBetter nothing]]'' when compared to someone who's power is recognized by even the [[spoiler:[[DestroyerDeity Takehaya Susanoo-no-Mikoto]]]]. |
| 178 | * When Valkenhayn heard of a particular vampire who was known as {{Alucard}}, he initially didn't think much of it. Seeing as there were two others were also referred by the [[Pantheon/{{Castlevania}} same name]]. At least until he heard more about him. How he had long black hair, [[RedEyesTakeWarning crimson colored eyes]], how he was the oldest of his kind, as well as one of their most powerful. How he believed that HumansAreSpecial, and finally how he's known far and wide as the "[[TheDreaded No Life King]]". With everything present, he believed that the Vampire may have been his former master, Clavis Alucard. Unfortunately, it was just as he previously thought, it was a completely [[Pantheon/{{Hellsing}} different vampire]]. Interestingly enough, Alucard himself searched for Valkenhayn. Hearing a [[RetiredBadass retired warrior]] by the name of Hellsing. A warrior famous for killing the unkillable, and for being well known about his ties to a [[VampireMonarch Vampire Lord]]. The two surprisingly went on to became good friends, sharing many similarities, being incredibly loyal to their masters and having a strong hatred for traitors. Valkenhayn would eventually even show him to his master Rachel Alucard. Alucard (Hellsing) would actually be in proper behavior, and show genuine respect to the other vampire. Aclucar even introduced them to his young fledgling, Seras Victoria. Seras was the first one to point out the {{irony}} of how her master (Alucard) was a servant to the Hellsing Family, while Valkenhayn R. ''Hellsing'' was a servant to the Alucard Clan. Everyone actually laughed at said irony. |
| 179 | ** Of course when being allies with the Hellsings, Valkenhayn was made aware of [[{{Ghostapo}} Millennium]]. Just like many others, Valkenhayn is in complete disgust with them, he's frequently clashed with The Captain, who (seemly) views Valkenhayn as a {{worthy opponent}}. Valkenhayn on his part, only hates him a little less than the others. |
| 180 | * While Valkenhayn considers Rachel's enemies as his enemies (and her allies as his allies), there are some that he's taken personal animosity towards. Like B.B. Hood, Hoss Delgado, the previously mentioned Fenrir Greyback, Lord Voldemort[[labelnote:*]]He calls him [[TomTheDarkLord Tom Riddle]], knowing that [[BerserkButton he hates it]][[/labelnote]] as well as his Death Eaters, and surprisingly enough, Buffy Summers. It's due to her status as the Goddess of {{Vampire Hunter}}s, and how she against even the good and/or neutral ones. |
| 181 | * Can also be found in Pantheon/GuardiansAndProtectors. |

| 202 | * At first glance, it is easy enough to tell that Zidane is a warrior and a thief. What a lot of people don't expect him to be, however, is that he's also a theater actor. He also has knowledge of music and is generally GenreSavvy. |
| 203 | ** Following his ascension, Zidane was happily reunited with Vivi, [[spoiler:as the latter passed away back on their home universe]]. |
| 204 | ** Thanks to the events in Dissidia, Zidane gets well along with Bartz Klauser as [[ThoseTwoGuys a duo]]. |
| 205 | ** His time there probably magnified his flirtations as well, given he's made such comments all the way to Cosmos and even ''the Cloud of Darkness''. He's not even fazed that most of the women |
| 206 | * Sometimes hangs out in the House of Pantheon/TheatreAndSpectacle to participate in acting, as well as the House of Pantheon/{{Musicality}}. |
| 207 | ** With [[Pantheon/BladedWeapons Weiss Schnee]], they acted out a grand swordfight for an audience. To their dismay (and Zidane's chagrin) however, they learned that [[MemeticMutation out of 100 gods watching, 99 were impressed]]. Encores did not change the outcome no matter what, so they gave up on impressing the 100th god. Zidane eventually figured out that the 100th watching god was in fact [[Pantheon/WritingTechniques Statler and Waldorf]]. At that point, he was more concerned about the fact that the two apparently counted as a single god instead of two. |
| 208 | * Has been pestered by the implications of what his future at the end of his game was; given his heartwarming reunion with Princess Garnet [[spoiler:after vanishing on her when he wanted to make sure Kuja didn't die alone]]; did he continue life as a (hopefully non-thieving) performer after returning to Tantalus? Or did he become Alexandria's [[ThePerformerKing performer]] king (given they ''did'' get married at Conde Petie, and it's debatable as to whether it's actually legally binding). Zidane is being tight-lipped about that, unfortunately. |
| 209 | * When the House of Gaming was set up, Zidane decided to introduce Tetra Master to it, and it became quite the sensation. Squall (who ascended around the same time as Zidane) would eventually introduce Triple Triad as well, under [[Pantheon/WitchesAndWizards Rinoa's]] insistence. |
| 210 | * Is skilled at [[LookBehindYou tricking enemies to turn their attention away from him and his party members]] long enough for ''all of them'' to maneuver into a position for a Back Attack against the enemy. |
| 211 | * [[spoiler:[[AntiChrist As someone who was made to destroy]] [[AntiAntiChrist but doesn't want to]]]], Zidane has befriended other gods who're in a similar position. He has especially gotten quite chummy with Ryoji Mochizuki, though even he envies Ryoji's [[ChickMagnet ability to automatically attract girls]]; however, Zidane is also annoyed in that Ryoji's much more dense about it somewhat, and isn't as much of an "expert". |
| 212 | * Frieza was not too happy to see another "filthy monkey" in the Pantheon, especially when that "monkey" also has a SuperMode. Out of anger, Frieza attacked Zidane in an attempt to kill him, but Son Goku was able to save Zidane before anything bad happened and drove Frieza away. Since then, the "monkeys" have gotten friendly with each other. Though Zidane has to wonder if there's any connection between him and the Saiyans. |
| 213 | * Formed a friendship with Ryuko, and happened to learn about Ragyo from that. Zidane was appalled to learn about what she did to her own daughters, and decided on the spot to offer his help to Ryuko the next time Ragyo would attempt anything. [[Creator/RomiPark Not to mention that there's something about Ragyo's voice that bothers him]]... |
| 214 | ** Seems to also have gotten along with Naoto Shirogane as well, via a more comfortable voice proxy. |
| 215 | * Once got into trouble by accidentally grabbing C.C.'s behind while delivering a stack of pizzas to her. Thankfully, the immortal witch believed him when he said it wasn't intentional (he was reaching his hand to return Lelouch's credit card). |
| 216 | * He became fast friends with Aladdin as both happen to be acrobatic rogues. naturally, this put Zidane at odds with Jafar. |
| 217 | * Went to visit [[Pantheon/FictionalExpies Golbez]] after his solidified HeelFaceTurn. When he asked the monkey-tailed hero what his business was, he gave a strange request: To help in redeeming Kuja as well, or at least keep the other Warriors of Chaos from preventing him from doing so. He had managed to reach out to his "brother" back in Gaia before he died, and he doesn't understand why Kuja's forgotten. In his time with the GUAE, Golbez managed to know why thanks to hearing Kefka gloat about it, and decided he would see what he can do. As for the truth, Golbez decided it would be best if Zidane heard Kuja's motives from the man(?) himself. |
| 218 | ** Eventually, an opportunity came and together they managed to corner him. While Golbez hung back to leave the two to their quarrel (and bar off any intervention from Kuja's allies), Zidane faced off against his "brother" in a bid to make him remember their last conversation in Gaia. Naturally, some GUAE members tried to get in Zidane's way, only for the Lunarian to stop them, and then the conflict soon escalated as others took interest in it and took sides, making Golbez's task much more complicated. Still, somehow, Zidane was soon able to incapacitate Kuja, then—as planned—he and Golbez were spirited away with a teleporter that would take them somewhere more private. |
| 219 | ** In their secluded area, Zidane finally got Kuja to spill; the reason the latter turned heel again was due to what happened in the 12th cycle in the ''Dissidia'' wars; he truly was against Chaos's side, but Kefka's intervention forced his hand, [[spoiler:and the mad clown would later alter his memories for the next cycle]], which Golbez corroborates, recalling Kefka's gloating back when he was serving the GUAE. |
| 220 | ** After that explanation, Kuja asked what will happen next. Zidane offered him to join him in the GUAG, just like him and Golbez, at the Ministry of Atonement to be exact. And this time, there will be no intervention from Kefka or anyone else as they make their way to Cosmos, which won't be long since they had teleported to the House of Heroes. Kuja wasn't sure; he's played and revelled in the role of villain for far too long, and his tenure as [[TheMole an inside man]] didn't really go well. Zidane promised to help him every step of the way. Being a (soon to be) fellow defector from Chaos, Golbez also offered to lend a hand when he can. |
| 221 | ** One successful visit to Cosmos later, Kuja's redemption was solidified, and defensive measures have been arranged to ensure that Kefka or anyone else won't be able to repeat the mad clown's stunt again. |

| 237 | * Rivals: |
| 238 | ** The ascended boxers of the W.V.B.A. : ('''[[Pantheon/MartialArts Little Mac]]''', [[Pantheon/OutlooksOnJob Glass Joe]], [[Pantheon/{{Alcohol}} Soda Popinski]], [[Pantheon/CombatOther Bald Bull]], [[Pantheon/UnconventionalWeaponry Donkey Kong]]) |
| 239 | ** Other: Other [[CombatSadomasochist Combat Sadomasochists]] (such as [[Pantheon/FightingMindsets Akeno Himejima]]), [[Pantheon/{{Armies}} Crimson Raider!Brick]] |
| 240 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/FightingStyles Dudley]], [[Pantheon/CombatWrestling John Cena]], [[Pantheon/{{Laughter}} The Joker]] and [[EveryoneHasStandards anyone who finds his constant cheating disgusting]] |
| 241 | * Opposes: BULLIES! (Surprisingly) |
| 242 | * Aran Ryan just entered the Pantheon, looking for a fight after he heard that Little Mac was here. He immediately went to the Combat Dojo and challenged the young boxer to a boxing match. Many gods are eager to see them fight again. |
| 243 | * Afterwards he gained a spot in the Hall of Emotional Combat. He started challenging every fellow deity in the same house to a boxing match ([[DeathSeeker YES, including Asura]]) making no exception ([[WouldHitAGirl including the goddesses too]]). Some gods find this behaviour really entertaining. |
| 244 | * Usually when bored, he goes around the Pantheon playing pranks and jokes on unsuspecting gods at random. The Itazura Griefers have offered him a spot in their team. He has yet to respond. |
| 245 | * Many gods are disgusted of how blatant of a cheater he is. In defense, the boxer claims he usually does this when his opponents are stronger than him. [[{{Hypocrite}} He doesn't consider that headbutting, elbowing, or swinging a horseshoe-filled glove on a piece of rope are against the rules though]]. |
| 246 | ** For this reason he has befriended Keith Howard. Gods usually refers them as the "Cheater duo" |
| 247 | * Rumored to be one of the craziest gods in the Pantheon that even the gods in the House of Pantheon/MadnessAndInsanity think he is [[HorrifyingTheHorror nuts]]. |
| 248 | ** Strangely enough, many goddesses ([[EvenTheGuysWantHim and gods]]) find his insanity [[http://pre13.deviantart.net/3b11/th/pre/i/2010/223/6/1/punch_out__aran_ryan_by_staniamarsh.png really attractive]]. |
| 249 | ** The Joker is baffled that there was someone who matched his insanity, [[AwesomeEgo saying that nobody has more charm than the Clown Prince of Crime]]. The boxer simply ignored the clown but wonders if he could be the long lost cousin of [[Videogame/PunchOut Mad Clown]]. |
| 250 | * [[FreudianExcuse Used to be bullied and teased at school for how his name is pronounced]]. This is the reason he despises bullies. When he sees one, [[UnstoppableRage let's say it doesn't end well for anyone]]. Many wonder if this is the reason he is so deranged. |
| 251 | ** Jimmy Hopkins ended up warming up to the Irish man after hearing his story. He still doesn't condone some of his actions, but he claims he is actually a very fun guy once you know him. |
| 252 | * One day, he stumbled upon Bryan Fury and inmediately challenged him to a fight. [[BloodKnight Bryan]] without a doubt accepted the challenge and confronted the Irish Boxer. Rumors have said that they kept fighting for [[{{Determinator}} 3 straight days]] until they got tired. They became good friends afterwards and they often spar in their free time. |
| 253 | ** Through Tiny Tina, he was introduced to Brick from the Crimson Raiders. Unsurprisingly, they both immediately duked it out. Aran was dauntless, even when Brick shrugged off his dirty moves and even his glove-on-a-rope didn't stop the Berserker. Brick, on the other hand, enjoyed the fact the Irish boxer kept going after him even after being punched relenlessly with his massive fists and was glad to find someone [[{{Determinator}} who would not give up]]. Neither one backed off until they grew too tired and hungry to go on. Needless to say, Brick was glad there was someone who could actually keep up with him in the stamina department. |
| 254 | * Is good buddies with Leprechaun for being the only Irish God besides him in the Pantheon. They usually hang out in Moe's Tavern doing drinking competions, [[BarBrawl until they start picking fights with other gods]]. Moe allows them to keep coming back because they actually pay for their drinks ([[TakeThat unlike many other gods]]). |
| 255 | * Niko Bellic found the Irish boxer somewhat similar to his other Irish friend Packy [=McReary=], but Aran, [[BloodKnight being who he is]], challenged the European to a boxing match, which he surprisingly lost. They have remained good friends since and occasionally spar together. |
| 256 | * ''"[[BossBanter If you lay down with dogs, you rise up with fleas!]]"'' |
| 257 | * Also present in the House of Pantheon/NationalMentalities. |

| 276 | * Respects: [[Pantheon/LoveOther Imperator Furiosa]] |
| 277 | * Ascended at petition of Anji Mito and May, two long-time friends from Japan. She's a full-blown badass without an eye and an arm and has proven that time and again in battle. No one who has challenged her for the title has come close to beating her yet. |
| 278 | * Just like [[Pantheon/FamilyAndRelatives Carl Clover]] freed Litchi Faye-Ling from the Pantheon/GUAGTokenEvilTeammates back into the GUAG proper, she's going to do so with Anji from the GUAE Re Education Facility. Perhaps that's why she chose ''not'' to pop her head off in ''Xrd SIGN''? |
| 279 | ** However, some footage of certain events have her protecting a tuner named Kum Haehyun. With the help of this mortal, she hopes to cure a mysterious illness befalling her colony. May is there to help her out as usual. |
| 280 | * Often confused to be Kenshin Himura, as she's considered as an {{Expy}} of him, though Kenshin himself doesn't like her insistence of revenge as well as her impulsiveness. The feelings mutual, with Baiken calling him a weak-minded fool. Neither would downplay their skills, believing the other to be formidable fighters. |
| 281 | * Even [[Pantheon/{{Heroism}} Daredevil]] was impressed with her capabilities despite her disabilities. At least he has some form of vision. Anyone that can use a sword one-handed and with one eye with that efficiency deserves a spot in the Pantheon. |
| 282 | * Her full-blown hatred against Gears is something to behold with and could drive her over the edge. However, when called out for it, Baiken just revealed how much she at one time brutalized I-No to death, and everyone shuts up in satisfaction. |
| 283 | ** She also pretty much hates Sol Badguy and would NEVER accept any of his atonement acts. ItsPersonal. |
| 284 | ** This is also why she pretty much tolerates Kokonoe in her unending vengeance spree against Terumi. The power of vengeance isn't one to be underestimated, as Baiken has attested. |
| 285 | * Under Anji's advice, Baiken attends Kenshi's meditation sessions along with Takeda. She admits it has helped sooth her bitterness of her situation. With that said, Kenshi has had no such luck convincing her to give Sol a benefit of a doubt. |
| 286 | * One would say that she and Furiosa would make a great pair. In truth, the two hardly ever meet each other and even if they did it's to acknowledge their loss as well as their determination. Baiken is at least happy that Furiosa managed to exact her own revenge on Immortan Joe. |
| 287 | * Has a grappling hook that replaced her lost one. While she was a follower of Nathan Spencer, that didn't mean they got along that well. Spencer is well aware of unwarranted persecution of those with certain abilities and wishes Baiken would see she can't lump everyone into a single category. |
| 288 | * While she doesn't wear her country on her sleeve, she does grow found of Japan. She was happy to find many others who live in that country, one she never got to experience thanks to the Gears. |
| 289 | ** Is a frequent costumer in the House of Food due to their wonderful sake collection. She's ready challenge anyone to a drinking contest. |
| 290 | * Has often been a critic of the choice of Samuel as the God of Katanas, believing someone from Japan should have the title. She unsuccessfully challenged the Brazilian for many years now. Minuano eagerly awaits these challenges though, claiming her fights to be one of his favorites |
| 291 | * Her need for vengeance makes her a frequent admirer of the Count of Monte Cristo. She even supported him during his brief exile from the Pantheon. In secret, Edmond hopes that Baikan can seek closure either by exactly revenge or by refusing to blame good-aligned Gears. |
| 292 | * Would rather not be reminded of the existence of Dr. McNinja. His mere presence can cause her to rant on [[McNinja how much of a fake ninja he is]]. |
| 293 | * Considers Mitsurugi to be nothing more than a lazy bum who wastes time on frivolous fights. She has refused the inevitable challenge from the {{Ronin}} as a response. |
| 294 | * Baiken has [[TookALevelInKindness mellowed-out considerably]] and has toned down her vengeance against the Gears as there is a much greater threat: Ariels. |

| 323 | * [[OlderThanTheyLook Chun-Li was actually proposed to be the Goddess of Female Asskicking since she was in the business before Motoko]], but for some reason, she took another. |
| 324 | * Her instant existence means Godhood, as it was because of her that females started getting more ass-kicking roles. |
| 325 | * She once [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle fought against]] Mai Shiranui somewhere in the [[Pantheon/{{Nature}} House of Nature]]. It is not known whether or not Chun-Li has taken her defeat against Mai badly. |
| 326 | ** Their friendly feud is what reminded both Hibiki Houjou and Kanade Minamino of their VitriolicBestBuds dynamic for [[Creator/AmiKoshimizu various]] [[Creator/FumikoOrikasa reasons]]. |
| 327 | * Despite the fact that she and Sakura are good friends, there are rumors that they're fighting for the affections of [[CelibateHero Ryu]], albeit both girls insist that they're JustFriends with him. It's even told that Deadpool may be the one who started the rumor. |
| 328 | * [[VideoGame/ProjectXZone Teamed up with]] Morrigan Aensland to stop the merging of the worlds. [[VideoGame/NamcoXCapcom That wasn't the first time either]]. Sadly, she's also saddled with [[OnlySaneMan trying to stop whatever]] Morrigan is going to do by advising kids on how to grow up or hitting on a high school student. She even tries to stop her from attempting to seduce [[Pantheon/HeroicAttitude Sanger Zonvolt]]. |
| 329 | ** After forming a friendship with [[VideoGame/StreetsOfRage Blaze Fielding]], Chun-Li has expressed disappointment that Blaze kind of missed that kind of battle, since she'd greatly enjoy fighting side-by-side with her. The response is that if even Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog missed that event as well, it shouldn't be a big deal. |
| 330 | * Wants to have a kick-only free for all with Bayonetta and her friend Jeanne after spectating the climactic battle between the two of them in their own adventure. |
| 331 | * She's also a big fan of Bruce Lee and says one of his movies got her into martial arts. |
| 332 | * It's heavily rumored that the Pantheon Wrestling Federation wants to recruit her. |
| 333 | * Once held Kitana in high regard, up until the revelations of [[VideoGame/MortalKombatX Timeline X]]. [[spoiler:She witnessed that Kitana is no longer the proud princess of Edenia she once knew and instead is now the ruthless ruler of Netherrealm alongside Liu Kang.]] However, the [[VideoGame/MortalKombat11 New Era]] revelations have rectified this problem [[spoiler:with Kitana and Liu Kang's pre-Revenant selves overcoming their evil counterparts and later becoming the benevolent architects of the Korrected Timeline]], after which Chun and Kitana met up and repaired the strained relationship. |
| 334 | * Scientists have been wondering how exactly is Chun-Li able to pull off her Spinning Bird Kick. [[https://youtu.be/1DRHU1-SnvM If going by real-world physics]], she'd ''dislocate her legs'' each time…but the force of the kick would even OneHitKO the likes of '''[[Pantheon/VillainousAttitude M. Bison]]'''. |
| 335 | * Despite sharing the commonality of being motivated by Bison's murder of her anti-Shadaloo detective father, she and Juri Han are polar opposites, as Chun-Li channeled her fire into fighting for justice and becoming one of Interpol's top detectives while Juri was consumed by vengeance and settled for accepting the corruption of Shadaloo in order to get close enough to Bison to fire the last shot. Juri and Chun-Li encountered each other as enemies following Juri's vicious attack on the Dolls, with Chun-Li failing to arrest the Dark Spider at least twice. Both ended up nearly dying in vengeful rages at the Dictator's hands. |
| 336 | * Chun-Li assisted in [[VideoGame/StreetFighterV the defeat of Shadaloo]] in the mortal world and had been stunned by various events including the wordless return of a presumed-dead Charlie Nash, both very deformed and seemingly as an enemy; Cammy turning fugitive to defend her clone "sister" Decapre from being arrested by Brazilian cops; Nash being involved with a very different group including some new figures as well as Juri; a certain little girl being among the hackers manipulated to serve Shadaloo's final plan; and ultimately the two very different units working in concert as [[spoiler:Nash sacrificed himself to soften Bison up for Ryu]]. |
| 337 | ** Well after Nash made his way into the Pantheon, a woman named Kolin would ascend as well, looking very similar to a facilitator in Nash's group named Helen; it turned out that not only had she nursed Charlie back to life, she fought Guile away at one point when he was looking for Nash. Suspicions have grown over the matter. |
| 338 | ** In her investigations, she discovered what might be a connection between Kolin and Gill, a world leader in the future whose organization would kidnap the same girl Shadaloo had captured as part of one of many mysterious projects, and who would go on to launch the third official World Warriors tournament. |
| 339 | * Has noted that her name is actually meant to be pronounced as "Choon-lee", not "Chuh-n-lee". Her name in a certain Japanese rendering would also technically be "[[BilingualBonus Shunrei (Shoon-ray)]]". |

| 354 | * Odd Relationship: [[Pantheon/OtherWeaponTropes Sharlachrot]] |
| 355 | * WorthyOpponent: [[Pantheon/OffensivePowers Akuma]] |
| 356 | * Upon ascending, Genjuro was hearing rumours of a deity named Akuma who was interested in fighting Genjuro after hearing of his achievements such as stopping Tsubasa's [[{{BFS}} Heaven's Wrath]] with just his fist, Making an improv shield by stomping the pavement and [[spoiler:Curbstomping the BigBad]]. |
| 357 | * Genjuro and Nanoha have a friendship because of their [[DefeatMeansFriendship mutual beliefs of how to make friends]] and also because he sees [[MagicalGirlWarrior a lot of]] [[WarriorTherapist Hibiki in her]]. |
| 358 | ---> ''Genjuro: If they don't understand, just keep beating on them until they do.'' |
| 359 | ** He also became allies with Fate because she [[TheDragon had]] [[MistreatmentInducedBetrayal the]] [[FaceHeelTurn same]] CharacterDevelopment as Chris Yukine. He noted how [[Creator/NanaMizuki she sounded a lot]] like his niece too. |
| 360 | * Genjuro and Sharlachrot have an odd friendship, neither of them particularly like the other goddesses voiced by Creator/MiyukiSawashiro but for different reasons: Sharlachrot hates them because they sound like her best friend/lover, Genjuro hates them because [[spoiler:one of his work partners was possessed by the soul of a Sumerian priestess and almost killed the rest of his team]]. |
| 361 | * Genjuro believes that Heihachi is a despicable piece of shit that doesn't deserve to be a father and will see to it that he pays for [[OffingTheOffspring his crimes]]. |
| 362 | * Considering what the other Symphogear deities told the other gods about [[Anime/{{Symphogear}} Dr.]] [[CompleteMonster Ver]], they would be terrified to see Genjuro's reaction to seeing what Yuuki Terumi does for fun because Terumi is much more of a monster than Ver. (If you can believe it) |
| 363 | * Genjuro has heard many stories from [[Pantheon/{{Craft}} Eko]] about a mortal named [[VideoGame/ArcanaHeart Petra]] [[BenevolentBoss Johanna Lagerkvist]] and believes she would make a great help in fighting [[EldritchAbomination The Noise]] that work for the GUAE. |
| 364 | ** He's also glad that someone kind and motherly raised Eko to be a kind and energetic child, [[http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2011/026/3/3/ah3__eko_ending_by_ragnaroksenshi-d38391i.png regardless of the trouble Eko causes for Petra]]. |
| 365 | ---> ''Genjuro: Adults who don't let kids do what they want are so uncool it hurts.'' |
| 366 | * According to Genjuro, the secrets of [[BadassNormal a real badass man]] are... eat, sleep and watch movies. A true man needs nothing else! |
| 367 | * Maybe due to his name, one day, there's this wandering swordsman, [[VideoGame/SamuraiShodown Haohmaru]], who mistook Genjuro as his rival. The samurai was drunk. Genjuro proceeds to execute a BarehandedBladeBlock on his slash, which ''immediately'' awakened Haohmaru from his drunken state, and considered him a WorthyOpponent, naming aside, and an awesome duel occurred that Genjuro managed to make it a draw because he wouldn't needlessly harm people. |
| 368 | * Like the Symphogear users, Genjuro himself is well allied with most heroic Tokusatsu Gods. He's even watched their shows before. Though he's particuarly allied with [[Pantheon/SpeechNToZ Kamen Rider Stronger]], as he respects his [[InTheNameOfTheMoon pre-battle speech]] and fighting skills. They've also both noted that they [[Creator/HideoIshikawa sounded similar]] on [[Film/KamenRiderXKamenRiderFourzeAndOOOMovieWarMegaMax one occassion]]. |

| 382 | * Rivals: [[Pantheon/{{Siblings}} Yun Lee]], [[Pantheon/FighterArchetypes Fiona Mayfield]], [[Pantheon/GameCharacters Dan Hibiki]] |
| 383 | * Enemies: [[Pantheon/{{Movesets}} Abigail]], [[Pantheon/FighterArchetypes Adon]] |
| 384 | * Admires: '''[[Pantheon/FightingMoves Ryu]]''' |
| 385 | * It was at a young age that Makoto inherited her own dojo due to the death of her father. She has been hard at work promoting her dojo ever since. It just so happened that she got the attention of several deities in the Pantheon. Eventually, Makoto was allowed to set up a branch of her dojo in the Pantheon. Over time the dojo became her temple and Makoto became a goddess herself. |
| 386 | ** Her first order of business? Go straight to Ibuki and challenge her to a duel to settle their rivalry once and for all. The following battle destroyed a lot of property that day but did not decide a winner. Even then, the two are on friendly terms. Sure they love to fight each other, but they are just as likely to help each other when one needs help. |
| 387 | ** Did not forget about Fei Long, who has been at the Pantheon far longer than she has. She knows that having a karate and Jeet Kune Do practitioner fight it out would increase awareness for her. Fei Long has declined the offer, wanting to focus on her movie career. That hasn't stopped her from pursuing him. |
| 388 | ** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IIcenm3cnmU Has not forgotten the time when she challenged Yun to a game of Roshambo]]. Both are known for using {{Groin Attack}}s on their opponents. It was only natural that this would lead to a confrontation. Both are looking forward to deciding the victor once and for all. |
| 389 | ** Dan saw her ascension as the perfect opportunity to get back at her for beating him the first time she demolished him in combat. This time he put himself on a training regiment to get stronger over time. |
| 390 | ** Much of her motivation about fighting comes from Ryu. She has come to adore the world warrior with a passion. She hopes to set up a match with him both to show him what she has learned as well as to promote her dojo. |
| 391 | ** If it was an earlier time, she would have groaned at the prospect of Elena in the Pantheon. The happy-go-lucky capoeira fighter seemed like the polar opposite to her hard-hitting no-nonsense fighting style. Yet the Kenyan charm grew on her, eventually letting Makoto call her a friend. |
| 392 | * Many agree she is pound-for-pound the hardest hitting fighter in her world. What's worse, she has no qualms about ''where'' to land them. She is just at likely to punch you in the face as she is while you are on the ground or even in the [[GroinAttack groin]]. |
| 393 | ** Her immense striking power increases further when she gets angry. When that happens, ''[[TurnsRed her entire body turns red in rage]].'' In this mode, she can turn any opponent into a pile of tenderized pulp in mere seconds. Yet there happened to be someone else who is even more feared in that regard. Makoto was surprised to find the title taken by none other than Mad Gear gang member Abigail. When Makoto challenged him to a fight, she was shocked to see him match her in strength if not more. Their first outing was a draw, but she is hopeful to get a second shot against the behemoth. |
| 394 | * Is one of the smallest competitors in the Street Fighter tournament, yet [[GlacierWaif always makes sure to take her sweet time when approaching her opponent]]. That's because she prefers to surprise her opponents with quick movements. She shares a lot in common with Fiona Mayfield in that regard and sees her as a rival to test her strength against. |
| 395 | * Believe it or not… Makoto is actually a pretty good carpenter and can be seen in the House of Craft building wooden structures. It helps that her strength can bust through wood in order to break it down. |
| 396 | * While she is by no means related to the squirrel beastly known as Makoto, no one can deny that they both love to punch people in the face. The karate master was disgusted that someone so strong had to deal with prejudice all the time. She subsequently invited her namesake for a charity bout. It was an all-out brawl that trashed the place and sent both flying through the roof at one point. Yet both were respectful towards each other afterwards. |
| 397 | * Can also be seen training with the likes of Chie and Akihiko in their respective temples. Akihiko gave her a sample of his protein shakes for her to try out. Curious, she put it as part of her regiment to get even stronger. |
| 398 | * The [[ArrogantKungFuGuy arrogant man that he is]], Adon claimed that Makoto's dojo was an utter joke under her father, saying it was the only reason why so few people knew about it in the first place. That, of course, sent her in a fit of rage. To his credit, he did manage to hold his own before making his leave. |

| 412 | * Many of the other deities didn't expect [[OlderThanSheLooks Presea to be 30]] because she looks like a 14 year old. They also didn't think said 14 year old would be stronger than any human man. |
| 413 | * Presea is friends with Fiona and Blanc because [[GlacierWaif they all appear to be small, frail girls, yet they all carry oversized weapons]]. |
| 414 | * The other gods believe that Presea is the melee equivalent to Seras Victoria and Oerba Dia Vanille. Presea likes Seras and Vanille and thinks they're really kind. [[spoiler:Except for when Seras is transformed.]] |
| 415 | * None of the other deities know why Presea was seen wearing [[Pantheon/SuicideAndSacrifice Elize Lutus']] outfit [[VideoGame/TalesOfSymphonia that one time]] but Elize thinks Presea looks really cute in them. |
| 416 | * [[Creator/HoukoKuwashima For some]] [[Creator/TaraStrong reason]], Presea gets along very well with Kasumi and Twiight Sparkle. |
| 417 | ** Presea is one of the few deities that Kratos doesn't outight hate due to this same reason because [[Creator/HoukoKuwashima her voice]] reminds him of Pandora. |
| 418 | ** She's also on friendly terms with Shanoa and Android 21, though 21 has asked Presea, Shanoa, and Kasumi to strike her down should her SuperpoweredEvilSide take over. While they reluctantly agreed to this, Tomoyo and Rim are both trying their best to encourage her so that doesn't have to happen. |
| 419 | * For some reason, a few deities decided to play "The Lumberjack Song" for her. She has since grown a liking for Monty Python, and visited [[Pantheon/TheatricConvention their shrine]]. |

| 434 | * Opposed By: [[Pantheon/ActsOfTreason Lu Bu]] |
| 435 | * Hakufu has some slight issues with gender identity, being a [[GenderFlip reincarnated man and all]]. She cheerfully accepted the title of (formerly) Greater Goddess after her extremely violent revenge on those of the Combat Pantheon who dared to call her stupid. Since then most other gods just try to avoid her, which is not that easy since [[BloodKnight she loves to pick fights]]. |
| 436 | * Due to a trickery set up by some of the nastier GUAE members, Sonsaku received an immense power down from Greater Goddess, to a mere Lesser Goddess, and was about to be killed off (after [[ClothingDamage having her cloth damaged greatly]]), but someone saved her in the nick of time... [[Literature/RomanceOfTheThreeKingdoms the original]] [[VideoGame/DynastyWarriors Sun Ce]], her ancestor. After working together to driving away the attackers, it's revealed that Sun Ce has managed to attain some of Sonsaku's essence before it's used for evil. Glad for everything, not to mention that her ancestor is also a pretty fun guy that likes picking fights, Sonsaku immediately befriended Sun Ce. |
| 437 | * Katsuragi befriended her rather quickly upon her ascension. They like to spar with each other, and Kat wonders what it would be the "main lead" like Sonsaku. She is also trying to see if she can help Sonsako control her dragon. |
| 438 | ** However, it turns out that her connection with her allowed her to snuck into the "Kagura Millennium Festival". Unfortunately for her, Kan'u Uncho and Ryofu Housen were also able to snuck in with her. Unfortunately for all three of them, [[ScrewedByTheLawyers they ended up getting into trouble in the western front.]] |
| 439 | *** Eventually the three of them decided that to get around that problem, each of them would disguise themselves. Sonsaku herself disguised herself as a brown-haired girl with a qipao called Gu Dasao. The problem was eventually solved outright, but she has to go under her "real name" due of reasons. |
| 440 | * Even though she is rather battle hungry, she might be one of most kind-hearted fighters there is. Not only does she refuse to kill anyone no matter what, she is ready to forgive practically ''anyone'' she can, complete with nicknames and hugs. The ''one'' single thing she refuses to look over is rape. Though we do advise to not call her stupid. |
| 441 | * While there might be many fighters who would take up her challenges, there are quite a few who would rather not, due to [[PottyFailure her rather poor bladder control]] when defeated. |
