Hades/Relationships

These are the relationships **Hades** established with other characters.

## Allies and Family

### Poseidon

Out of all of his brothers, Poseidon seemed to be the one Hades cared the most about. The two had a good relationship, with Hades not minding Poseidon's harsh demeanor and talking to him casually despite his fearsome reputation. He was shocked when Poseidon called him his brother, noting that was the first time he had ever done so.

During Ragnarok, Poseidon's death was the reason Hades left Helheim and came up to Valhalla to join the Gods' roster. Hades merged Poseidon's trident with his own bident and fought Qin Shi Huang in memory of his late brother and the promise he made with him; that he'd never lose to anyone when fighting for his family. Hades' fighting style bore a striking resemblance to Poseidon's, as well as his singing and mannerisms after cutting himself open. Poseidon's outstretched hand was also the last thing Hades saw before his death.

### Adamas

Hades was on good terms with Adamas, despite his wanting to overthrow Zeus. Adamas held great love and respect for Hades, and even felt comfortable working with him in Helheim. While the two never interacted directly in the series, Hades was the one who ordered Hermes to save Adamas, and was the one who contacted Beelzebub to revive him. Hades also apologized to Adamas before his death.

### Zeus

Hades and Zeus had a good relationship, though seemingly not one as close as Hades had with Poseidon. The two got along well and Hades held unconditional love for his youngest brother just like the rest of his family. Hades apologized to Zeus before his death.

### Beelzebub

Hades was good friends with Beelzebub. Despite the latter's fearsome reputation and murdering of his friends, Hades still pitied him and decided to help Beelzebub live a fulfilling life. He initially listened to Beelzebub's request to kill him, but before delivering the final blow, he decided against it after hearing about Lilith's curse. He urged Beelzebub to search himself for the meaning of her prayer, and that if he still wanted to die, he would be waiting. When Beelzebub eventually did return, Hades was amused by his new approach to life: to live as horribly and corruptly as possible so that he would receive an equally painful death. He provided Beelzebub with the Staff of Apomyius, hoping that the now much stronger Beelzebub would have a much harder time dying. When asked by Beelzebub why he cared about him so much, Hades stated that he had three bothersome younger brothers, and just when he began to miss them, Beelzebub had wandered into his palace.

Hades outlawed the use of **Original Sin of the Netherworld — No. 0: Chaos**, due to the destruction it caused and due to the effects it had on Beelzebub. When Adamas was gravely injured by Poseidon, Hades contacted Beelzebub to save his brother, showing the trust he had in him. Hades' death also had a large impact on Beelzebub, as he'd been his only friend after his other friends and lover were killed by his **Demonic Destrudo**.

### Ares and Hermes

Hades was on good terms with Ares and Hermes. He interacted very little with Hermes, but he seemed to tolerate him and value his presence. Hades often made fun of Ares, and seemed to scare the God of War too. However, Ares still looked up to his uncle and found him to be the most reliable God.

## Enemies

### Qin Shi Huang

Initially, Hades saw Qin Shi Huang as nothing more than just another Human, a part of a race that killed his dear younger brother. However, as Qin Shi Huang proved his worth, Hades began to see him as a king equal to him. After asking Qin Shi Huang about what he thought made a king, he was amused by Qin Shi Huang's answer and laughed along with the King of Men. Hades stated that Qin Shi Huang reminded him of Poseidon. After learning that Qin Shi Huang had Mirror Touch Synesthesia, Hades sympathized with his condition. He praised Qin Shi Huang's skills numerous times throughout the fight and before their final clash, said that it was an honor fighting him. When Hades was defeated, he said that he had expected nothing less from a king, as the two's relationship had become that of a mutual friendship.
