-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MikaKanai (Japanese), Creator/CristinaVee (English)

A girl with a fairy-like appearance who rides on a black book. Similar to Histoire, she is a mysterious girl who has been tasked
with the rewriting important role of the world allowed the survivors to stage recording history. Until recently, [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory she had been taped up and trapped as a coup specimen within Lastation for themselves, intending to restart their ways.big Neptune's "Nep-Note."]]


Added DiffLines:

* ActorAllusion: In one VR scene, the big Neptune talks about how they visited the world of {{Anime/Pokemon}} of all things. [[WritingAroundTrademarks They found a little caterpillar with a red Y antenna that turned itself into a sleepy looking cocoon, then were ambushed by a balloon monster that sounds just like Croire that sang and put them to sleep then drew on them.]] Mika Kanai provided the voice for Jigglypuff.
* BlueAndOrangeMorality: Good and evil don't really interest her; she sides with whoever can make things [[ItAmusedMe interesting]].
* DimensionalTraveler: Her main ability which Adult Neptune takes advantage of.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:Briefly becomes this to Kurome after Arfoire is defeated again.]]
* EmbarrassingNickname: Because she looks like a darker version of Histoire she was given the nickname Darksty, Blacksty (original Japanese) or Crostie (English Dub) by adult Neptune.
* TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt: She's apparently recorded ''multiple'' instances of this happening to different worlds.
* EnemyMine: Forms one with Nepgear, Uzume and Adult Neptune against Arfoire at the climax of the Zerodimension arc. She may be willing to watch the destruction of a dimension for [[ForTheEvulz interesting history]], but not when she can die too.
* EvilCounterpart: She is to [[spoiler:Rei]], Zerodimension Arfoire, and [[spoiler:Kurome]] what Histoire is to the protagonists, right down to their Japanese voice actresses.
* ForTheEvulz: Much like what in ''Victory'', her only concern is to stir trouble towards Neptune and her friends. This is the major reason big Neptune trapped her in her Nep-Note, as while she's fine with Croire wanting to record history, she's [[EveryoneHasStandards not okay with her intentionally mucking with it to make it "interesting"]].
* GreatBigBookOfEverything: Like Histoire, her purpose is to record history. Croire insists that her role is to make sure that [[ForTheEvulz it's]] [[ItAmusedMe interesting]].
* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: In the Good Ending of ''Victory'', [[spoiler:she makes off with Rei's leftover power to start more trouble in some other dimension where Neptune and her friends can't reach her.]] In the True Ending, [[spoiler:she returns to the Ultradimension, only to get caught by its resident Neptune.]]
* LackOfEmpathy: Befitting her role as troublemaker and instigator, she has little to no concern about anyone who gets screwed by her, both good and bad. The only thing she cares about is her own amusement.
* OurFairiesAreDifferent: She's also a book.
* PrettyButterflies: When she gets briefly {{De Power}}ed when Arfoire steals some of her power, she takes the form of a purple-black butterfly. It's also how she appears while sealed in the Nep-Note.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: She first met [[spoiler:Rei the moment she obliviously ate a CPU Memory... which was ''tens of thousands of years ago''. It's not even clear if she's originally from the Ultradimension.]]
* SadisticChoice: [[spoiler:During the Heartdimension route of the game's final chapter, she offers two different decisions to the [=CPUs=]: if they leave Uzume, the whole Hyperdimension will be screwed. On the other hand, if they decided to save Hyperdimension, the Heartdimension will be gone for good. However, both Neptunes decide [[TakeAThirdOption to choose a third option instead]]: [[SaveBothWorlds save both dimensions]] and [[EarnYourHappyEnding earn the Happy Ending]]]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Adult Neptune traps her in her Nep-Note both to travel dimensions and to keep her from stirring up trouble, but she does manage to escape from time to time.
* ThemeNaming: As a counterpart to Histoire ("history"), her name means "belief". Owing to the Japanese origin of the franchise, her name also owes its origins to the Dark Ages. [[labelnote:Explanation]]'''''kuro'''rekishi''[[/labelnote]]. She also claims that her name is related to "Chronicle", furthering the history connections.
* {{Troll}}: [[spoiler:Since she's still sealed in the Nep-Note in the GoldenEnding, the most resistance she can offer is to slightly mess up their coordinates while warping so that they hurt themselves upon reaching their destination.]]

Added DiffLines:

!Dark [=CPUs=]
Giant entities who appear out of nowhere in Zerodimension. Each of them being as tall and large as skyscrapers, they are not only capable of destroying physical matter but also time and space. Whenever a Dark CPU appears in Zerodimension, the world is reduced into nothingness. For some reason, they all resemble the [=CPUs=] of the four nations in Gamindustri.

[[folder:General Tropes]]
* AttackOfThe50FootWhatever: They are giant-sized entities who easily dwarf everyone around them. They also attack and destroy everything around them.
* BackFromTheDead: They all reappear at multiple points during the story despite being killed in each boss battle. [[spoiler:This is because [[MookMaker Kurome]] can recreate them from her memories as long as she has enough Negative Energy.]]
* EvilCounterpart: Of the main [=CPUs=].
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Arfoire fused with Dark Purple serves as the final boss of the Zerodimension arc. The finale has Kurome fuse with all four of them to become Dark Orange.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: Vaguely angelic beings standing at over 30 meters whose mere presence rips up the fabric of spacetime around them.
* NighInvulnerable: They are destroying the very fabric of reality around them, making them immune to damage. It takes trapping them in a [[PocketDimension Sharing Field]] created from pure Share Energy to make them vulnerable to damage.
* PoweredByAForsakenChild: [[spoiler:In the H Arc, Kurome kidnaps the [=CPUs=] and siphons their power to perfect their respective Dark [=CPUs=], replacing their lost power with her own Negative Energy to gradually brainwash them.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion: They sound like monstrous versions of whichever CPU they're based on.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dark Purple]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RieTanaka (Japanese), Creator/ChiakiTakahashi (Japanese, fused with Arfoire)

The first Dark CPU that Neptune encountered, which resembles Purple Heart. Neptune, Nepgear and Uzume fight her twice: the first when they found the Share Crystal and the second when Arfoire uses her power with Croire's help.
----
* ArcVillain: While Uzume mentions in the Z Arc that there are four Dark [=CPUs=] in total, Dark Purple is the one that [[ArchEnemy she's personally been struggling to fight the whole time]]. It gets defeated about halfway through when the Zerodimension monsters suddenly become capable of providing Share Energy to her and the Nep sisters so they can transform, and is later revived by and fused with Arfoire to become the DiscOneFinalBoss.
* BackFromTheDead: Even compared to the other Dark [=CPU=]s, she gets destroyed and brought back the most.
* BareFistedMonk: Surprisingly, Dark Purple wields no weapon, unlike Purple Heart. The other three will fight in a similar manner once their weapons are destroyed.
* EvilCounterpart: Of Purple Heart.
* WaveMotionGun: One of her techniques involves firing massive waves of energy from her hands.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dark Green]]
The second Dark CPU encountered by Neptune and her companions after Nepgear and the other Candidates manage to free Neptune, Noire, Blanc and Vert from Kurome's control. With a giant spear (and a bust to match), she's resembles Green Heart.
----
* BladeOnAStick: Much like Green Heart, she uses a huge lance as her weapon of choice.
* EvilCounterpart: To Green Heart.
[[/folder]]

[[foler:Dark Black]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/AsamiImai (Japanese)

Another Dark CPU encountered by the Candidates and Gold Third, should the player choose the Hyperdimension route in Heartdimension H arc. Equipped with one-handed sword, she resembles Black Heart.
----
* {{BFS}}: Like Black Heart, she uses a big sword as her weapon.
* EvilCounterpart: To Black Heart.
[[/folder]]

[[folder:Dark White]]
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KanaAsumi (Japanese)

Another Dark CPU encountered by the [=CPUs=], adult Neptune, IF and Compa, should the player choose the Heartdimension route in Heartdimension H arc. Resembling White Heart, she has a flat chest (albeit better proportions) and has an axe as her weapon.
----
* AnAxeToGrind: Like White Heart, she uses a giant axe as her weapon.
* EvilCounterpart: To White Heart. Surprisingly, it has somewhat bigger proportions on her chest compared to the real White Heart, which the Neptune duo joke may have been an act of pity from [[spoiler:Kurome]]. Blanc is ''really pissed off'' when finding this out.

Part of her tirade at the [=CPU=]s becomes about how she's never dated a man, will never marry, and has never had a child, after Peashy continues to call her Mommy.]]

* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Dishes this out to the three CPU goddesses of the Hyperdimension Gamindustri in the Good Ending Route.]]
* CuteAndPsycho: In her normal form, she is a shy lady who is [[ExtremeDoormat pushed around by everyone]]. [[spoiler:In her HDD form, she is a tyrannical PsychopathicWomanchild who murder anyone who gets in her way.]]

* DrunkWithPower: [[spoiler:As soon as she gains superpowers, Rei slips into this ''very'' quickly.]]
* DubNameChange: Downplayed; Her ''surname'' is changed from "Kiseijou" to "Ryghts".
* EntitledBitch: [[spoiler:As the [=CPU=] of Tari, she believed that her citizens were obligated to worship her 24/7, and would casually go out and kill anyone who had a problem with her. When an angry mob eventually tried to oust her, she decided to just destroy everything rather than reflect on her tyranny.]]



* ExtremeDoormat: She can't stand up to herself and gets walked over by everyone.
* EvilFeelsGood: When she sent Neptune into the past, what was her first reaction? A SlasherSmile and gloating that she was actually to successfully do something of such magnitude. Given her earlier appearances, you actually have to be happy for her. [[spoiler:And it's also a good CallBack because this was her reaction when she first got her powers thousands of years ago.]]
* EvilIsHammy: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is such a hysterical, ranting lunatic that others can hardly believe that she's the same person as the ShrinkingViolet that they're used to.]]
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Does this quite often later on in the game and she does them beautifully and menacingly.]]
* FallenAngel: [[spoiler: Downplayed. She was a former Goddess of the long-gone nation of Tari. Once she got her powers however, she became deranged, turning against her civilians and led to The Great Crash that resulted in the deaths of millions and destruction of her nation. This leads her into becoming the BigBad of ''Victory''.]]

* GenreSavvy: Is well aware that one should not swallow a floating mass of dark energy. Not that is helps her much…
* GhostMemory: [[spoiler:Hyperdimension Rei ends up getting the memories of the Ultradimension Rei mixed with her own when she receives her powers. The sudden addition of several thousand years of memory from a completely different world are implied to be why she's so much further off the deep end than the one she received the power from.]]

* GrewASpine: [[spoiler:By the end of the game, she's learned to channel her HDD persona to actually make the remaining Sages take her seriously.]]



* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is constanlty ranting about how bad [=CPUs=] are (even their {{Stripperific}} outfits [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking annoy her]]) while refusing to acknowledge her own tyrannical behavior (her outfit is just as revealing as the average [=CPU=], by the way).]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:After gaining her powers, she becomes so ruthless that by the time she caused The Great Crash, she doesn't want to be a CPU anymore. Thus, her starting the Seven Sages group.]]
* IncomingHam[=/=]ChewingTheScenery: Her first boss fight's pre-dialogue. It is one ''the longest'' scenes in the game. [[spoiler:She sums up her past history, complains about the other [=HDDs=], makes many statements about why she thinks she is right, and so on.]]
%%* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: [[spoiler:Mostly.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler:When her timid personality fades away, Rei ''breathes'' this trope, in constant denial of everyone who has a far more accurate view, and believing the world to be wrong simply because she says it is.]]
* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: Due to the efforts of the [=CPU=]s, all the Seven Sages were defeated, and the organization crumbled, leaving Rei by herself. You really do pity the girl as she delves deeper into her self-deprecating attitude.
* IronicEcho: She pushes for the fact that there should be no more goddesses [[spoiler:only to find out that she's an [[AmnesiacGod Amnesiac Goddess]] herself (and the ''first one'' no less), though with most of her powers gone.]]
* ItMeantSomethingToMe: When Anonydeath finally leaves the Seven Sages her immediate concern is that their pretend marriage is what's ending not that he's leaving the group.



* LegendFadesToMyth: Once Rei explains [[spoiler:who she is and what lead her to do everything she had,]] Blanc informs her that [[spoiler:the former nation of Tari has become considered nothing more than a myth and warning for [=CPUs=] to understand that they serve their people not the other way around.]]

* TerribleArtist: After she [[spoiler: is defeated in the Ultradimension universe and her personality returns to normal]], Rei attempts to provide background on [[spoiler: how she became a [=CPU=]]].

[[HilarityEnsues Then it's revealed that she drew several of them]].
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Hyperdimension Rei gained her badassery after Croire gives her powers from the Ultradimension Rei, who in turn sent some of that power back so that one could regain hers. To put it simply, they ''ping-pong'ed'' this trope.]]

* VitriolicBestBuds: Thinking back on the good times with the rest of the sages, all that comes up is being ridiculed over and over again. Some of them later admit that, while she was fairly incompetent, being part of her group wasn't all that bad.

Part of her tirade at the [=CPU=]s becomes about how she's never dated a man, will never marry, and has never had a child, after Peashy continues to call her Mommy.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: More so than Plutia. She's a timid NiceGirl who gets bullied a lot by the rest of the cast. [[spoiler: Then she becomes an [[AxCrazy murderous]] OminicidalManiac in HDD]].
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Her Ultradimension counterpart serves as this, as she is responsible for [[UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 The Great Crash]] that lead to the death of her citizens as well as forming a group dedicated to eliminating the goddesses.]]
* BoomerangBigot: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is constantly ranting about how awful [=CPUs=] are despite being one herself.]]
* ChristmasCake: Approaching her 30s, and claims to be too old to marry. [[spoiler: Or more specifically for Ultradimension Rei ''was'' approaching her 30s, and is now simply stuck looking that way despite being several thousand years old.]]
* CorruptTheCutie: [[spoiler:Croire gives her dark energy to regain her powers. [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity It works out too well]].]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Dishes this out to the three CPU goddesses of the Hyperdimension Gamindustri in the Good Ending Route.]]
* CuteAndPsycho: In her normal form, she is a shy lady who is [[ExtremeDoormat pushed around by everyone]]. [[spoiler:In her HDD form, she is a tyrannical PsychopathicWomanchild who murder anyone who gets in her way.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Because of her tyrannical rule, the Tari land collapsed, leading her to believe that the CPU system should not exist in the first place.]]
* DePower: [[spoiler:Apparently suffered this in the Ultradimension timeline. This leads to...]]
** RePower: [[spoiler:She sent a fragment of her power over to the Hyperdimension timeline, who sends some of the power back to her and she gets HDD again, though apparently she's nowhere near as strong as she no longer has any worshippers.]]
* DrunkWithPower: [[spoiler:As soon as she gains superpowers, Rei slips into this ''very'' quickly.]]
* DubNameChange: Downplayed; Her ''surname'' is changed from "Kiseijou" to "Ryghts".
* EntitledBitch: [[spoiler:As the [=CPU=] of Tari, she believed that her citizens were obligated to worship her 24/7, and would casually go out and kill anyone who had a problem with her. When an angry mob eventually tried to oust her, she decided to just destroy everything rather than reflect on her tyranny.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: She can't stand up to herself and gets walked over by everyone.
* EvilFeelsGood: When she sent Neptune into the past, what was her first reaction? A SlasherSmile and gloating that she was actually to successfully do something of such magnitude. Given her earlier appearances, you actually have to be happy for her. [[spoiler:And it's also a good CallBack because this was her reaction when she first got her powers thousands of years ago.]]
* EvilIsHammy: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is such a hysterical, ranting lunatic that others can hardly believe that she's the same person as the ShrinkingViolet that they're used to.]]
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Does this quite often later on in the game and she does them beautifully and menacingly.]]
* FallenAngel: [[spoiler: Downplayed. She was a former Goddess of the long-gone nation of Tari. Once she got her powers however, she became deranged, turning against her civilians and led to The Great Crash that resulted in the deaths of millions and destruction of her nation. This leads her into becoming the BigBad of ''Victory''.]]
* TheGlassesComeOff: [[spoiler:In her HDD form, see TookALevelInBadass below. The effect is… unnerving to say the least.]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: [[spoiler:What she was a long time ago, where she was a tyrannical ruler who was responsible for The Great Crash, resulting in her people rebelling against her.]]
* GrewASpine: [[spoiler:By the end of the game, she's learned to channel her HDD persona to actually make the remaining Sages take her seriously.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is constantly ranting about how bad [=CPUs=] are (even their {{Stripperific}} outfits [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking annoy her]]) while refusing to acknowledge her own tyrannical behavior (her outfit is just as revealing as the average [=CPU=], by the way).]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:After gaining her powers, she becomes so ruthless that by the time she caused The Great Crash, she doesn't want to be a CPU anymore. Thus, her starting the Seven Sages group.]]
* IncomingHam[=/=]ChewingTheScenery: Her first boss fight's pre-dialogue. It is one ''the longest'' scenes in the game. [[spoiler:She sums up her past history, complains about the other [=HDDs=], makes many statements about why she thinks she is right, and so on.]]
%%* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: [[spoiler:Mostly.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler:When her timid personality fades away, Rei ''breathes'' this trope, in constant denial of everyone who has a far more accurate view, and believing the world to be wrong simply because she says it is.]]
* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: Due to the efforts of the [=CPU=]s, all the Seven Sages were defeated, and the organization crumbled, leaving Rei by herself. You really do pity the girl as she delves deeper into her self-deprecating attitude.
* ItMeantSomethingToMe: When Anonydeath finally leaves the Seven Sages her immediate concern is that their pretend marriage is what's ending not that he's leaving the group.
* LegendFadesToMyth: Once Rei explains [[spoiler:who she is and what lead her to do everything she had,]] Blanc informs her that [[spoiler:the former nation of Tari has become considered nothing more than a myth and warning for [=CPUs=] to understand that they serve their people not the other way around.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Considering she accidentally murdered ''her entire nation'', this qualifies.]]
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Inverted. [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei is the past version of the Hyperdimension Rei, apparently; the former aids the latter.]]
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Played with. Rei is an entirely innocent girl who just thinks she can improve the world better if it's a little more orderly and the Goddesses don't reign supreme. Sadly, no one listens to her, despite all the hard work she does. [[spoiler: Turns out [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone there's a good reason why she acts that way]].]]
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei initially doesn't accept that it was her HDD personality that caused The Great Crash, but that it was simply the concept of [=CPUs=] in general, so she starts the Seven Sages. She gets over it.]]
* TheOlderImmortal: [[spoiler:Out of all the Goddesses in the game, Neptune and her crew from the Hyperdimension would most likely be the oldest, followed by Blanc from the Ultradimension, who appears to be a few centuries old. Vert, Peashy, and Noire don't top more than a few decades. ''Rei'' on the other hand, is ''several thousand years old'', having been a Goddess for far longer than any of the main characters. She has the power to show it.]]
* OlderThanSheLooks: Despite her age of nearing 30, she looks closer to twenty. [[spoiler: That's not even getting into the whole thousands year old former goddess thing]]
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: [[spoiler:HDD Rei believes that the [[BoomerangBigot CPU system]] (and even [[OmnicidalManiac the entire world]] in the True Ending) need to be eliminated because they made ''her'' unhappy (never mind that she was a self-absorbed tyrant who was entirely to blame for her own nation's downfall).]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Can open portals to the past, as mentioned above]].
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei is the oldest goddess no less, by her own count anywhere between thousands and tens of thousands of years old.]]
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Downplayed, but she wears a skull as a belt buckle of sorts, and on her arm guards.
* SuperPrototype: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei was the very first Goddess in her timeline apparently. She's also one of the strongest characters in the Neptunia universe story-wise.]]
* TerribleArtist: After she [[spoiler: is defeated in the Ultradimension universe and her personality returns to normal]], Rei attempts to provide background on [[spoiler: how she became a [=CPU=]]]. To aid her, she provides a visual aid she drew, except the art is so incomprehensible to everyone, even to the player much to Neptune's concern, that all anyone can do is laugh at it.
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Hyperdimension Rei gained her badassery after Croire gives her powers from the Ultradimension Rei, who in turn sent some of that power back so that one could regain hers. To put it simply, they ''ping-pong'ed'' this trope.]]
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Oddly enough, despite being the BigBad, she's also this. [[spoiler:She never intended to cause her alternate self to go OmnicidalManiac. She only wanted to help her be more confident and assertive, and that ended up working a little too well.]]
* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:In the true end Plutia tries to dominate Rei's power after beating it out of Hyperdimension Rei, and was quickly failing and at risk of having their combined power and madness. After Neptune implies she's ready to MercyKill Plutia if she fails, Ultradimension Rei steps in and takes her power back and finally gets control over it.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Thinking back on the good times with the rest of the sages, all that comes up is being ridiculed over and over again. Some of them later admit that, while she was fairly incompetent, being part of her group wasn't all that bad. [[spoiler: This helps explain how even with no followers she was able to control her HDD form and pull off what she did a few tropes down.]]

** The Deity of Sin is a barely sentient monster only exists to destroy everything.

A mysterious girl first appearing in the second arc Hyperdimension G, who turns out to be the mastermind of the entire game's events. She is the original Uzume Tennouboshi, and she was the former Console Patron Unit of Planeptune before Uranus/Caelus and Neptune. However, she sealed herself away because of her powers going haywire. Falling into a delusion of hatred for Gamindustri and creating both Zerodimension and Heartdimension, the source of her power shifted from Share Energy to Negative Energy. Her goal is to break free from her seal to pursue a vendetta towards anyone who despises her. Eventually, her remaining Share Energy split from her and took on the form of another herself.

A group of mercenaries that once sold weapons and themselves for war in Lastation before being stopped some time ago. However, the CPU Shift Period combined with the rewriting of the world allowed the survivors to stage a coup within Lastation for themselves, intending to restart their ways.
----
* ArcVillain: Of Noire's arc during Hyperdimension G, specifically the female Order leader.
* TheBeastmaster: They've been attempting to capture the delusionary monsters in order to bolster their forces, though a conversation between two members has one admitting their main plan is just to release them into other nations, preferably populated areas, and let them go wild and cause chaos to make the invasion easier.
* BigBadWannabe: They want to be the big world changers, [[spoiler:but ultimately they're just pawns of Kurome to be discarded.]]
* ChildSoldiers: K-Sha's history indicates they very much employ these.
* MiniMecha: They have one called the [[Franchise/MetalGear M-Gear]] that they call the "anti-CPU weapon". [[spoiler:The mecha itself is not the true danger however, but the deadly bioweapon contained within its chasis.]]
* NoNameGiven: Their female leader is never actually named.
* StoicSpectacles: The female leader has these and almost never loses her stoic composure.
* WarForFunAndProfit: This is what they're all about, why Noire hunted them down and destroyed their original incarnation, and what they want to do with Lastation now that they've taken over the Basilicom and spreading war to the other nations.

[[folder:Azna=Leb]]
The leader of Lowee's Revolutionary Army and inventor of the License System. If that sounds like a contradiction, that's because he's also the man who wants to engineer a take-over of Lowee.
----
* ArcVillain: Of Blanc's arc during Hyperdimension G.
* DirtyCoward: When the delusionary monsters attack Lowee, he abandons his fellow Revolutionary members and the innocent Lowee citizens to save his own skin.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He's disgusted when C-Sha falsely proclaims to have tried (non-sexually) assaulting Blanc in her sleep.
* EvilRedhead: Has noticeable red hair, and is the major antagonist of Blanc's arc.
* ItsAllAboutMe: He immediately bails when a large number of delusionary monsters close in on Lowee, scoffing at the idea of leaving soldiers behind to defend the town instead of saving his own hide. Once he's publicly outed for this, he starts ranting about how the people of Lowee aren't smart enough to exist without him until Blanc [[TalkToTheFist punches him in the face]].
* ManipulativeBastard: First he hires C-Sha to kill Blanc, but when that falls through he manipulates Blanc by revealing he remembers who she is as well as how C-Sha is the ruler of Lowee [[spoiler:and the source of the delusionary fog empowering the monsters]] in an attempt to get ''her'' to kill the Gold Third member, then uses Blanc's attempt to get the truth out of C-Sha to arrest the latter while framing it like Blanc was in on it.
* NotSoAboveItAll: He's noticeably flustered when C-Sha claims one of her attempts to "assassinate" Blanc involved jumping on her while she was asleep, with her asking him if he has "no experience".
* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Claims to Blanc as the leader of the Revolutionary Army he wants to restore the Lowee of old from the License System that shouldn't exist, and that their army is made up of those who remember her and want her to take her rightful place as the CPU again. While that ''is'' the Revolutionary Army's goal, he's in it solely for his own personal gain and power, and was the one who made the License System in the first place and attempted to have ''both'' Blanc and C-Sha killed.
* RunningBothSides: He's the leader of the revolutionaries that seek to abolish the License System...and the man who ''made'' the License System in the first place. It's all part of his scheme to take full control of Lowee while coming off as the hero.
* VillainousBreakdown: Once he's outed for abandoning Lowee with no regard for its people as delusionary monsters attacked, as well as setting up the license system, he begins openly ranting about how they're all too weak and stupid to function without his guidance... until Blanc [[TalkToTheFist shuts him up]].

the game as a whole.]]
* ConsummateLiar: As a skilled manipulator and swindler, deception
is one of her most useful weapons.
* ContrastingSequelAntagonist: [[spoiler:She is sometimes compared
to weaken Rei Ryghts because they shared similar characteristics, as both are the Shares belonging BigBad, GreaterScopeVillain and TrueFinalBoss in their respective games. However, they also differ at many points:]]
** [[spoiler:In terms of [[DarkAndTroubledPast backstory]]; Rei was the former CPU of the long lost Tari nation. Her people despised her due
to ASIC so her tyrannical behavior because she was [[DrunkWithPower drunk with her newfound power]]. Angered with her own people's rebellion, Rei used her power to destroy her own nation, which led to her losing her faith entirely, thus The Great Crash. Kurome (as the original Uzume) on the other hand, was the former CPU of Planeptune, only with her existence being rejected and loathed by (some of) her own people. She then decided to seal herself away because she couldn't control her power. In her own delusion, her hatred of Gamindustri grew, and she tried to break out of the seal to have her revenge.]]
** [[spoiler:In terms of personality: Rei in human form is a very fragile person [[ApologizesALot who is prone to apologizing]] and has severe confidence issues, is incapable of making anyone obey her command, and thus ends up being stepped all over as a result. But in Goddess Form, she becomes extremely irrational (if also paranoid), unreasonable and overbearing. Kurome, on the other hand, is {{the resenter}} who hates Gamindustri, and she wants to give an exact punishment to Gamindustri for what she believes they did to her and has proven she will stop at nothing to be able to do so. She's also a [[ManipulativeBitch skilled manipulator]], deceiving anyone else to further her goals and and isn't above disposing of them without hesitation. As Dark Orange, she retains her vengeful nature and becomes far more unhinged and less collected.]]
** [[spoiler:While Rei wants to destroy the Gamindustri (both Hyperdimension and Ultradimension) with her sheer power, Kurome wants to destroy the Gamindustri by fusing Hyperdimension and Zerodimension into a single apocalyptic dimension.]]
* TheCorrupter: Hoo boy. Let's mention the examples one by one, shall we? The way she executes this trope verges into MindRape territory.
** [[spoiler:In Neptune story, she turns Warechu into a mindless monster while simultaneously casting an illusion over B-Sha
that Magic makes her see people as monsters in order to make her attack innocent civilians.]]
** [[spoiler:In Noire's story, she instigates K-Sha to kill Uni and tells her she
is weakened a nuisance, delivering a BreakingSpeech to her that she always being alone. Later she flat-out brainwashes her to make her try and kill Uni and Noire.]]
** [[spoiler:In Blanc's story, she forces Blanc, Rom and Ram to fight a possessed C-Sha after seemingly solving the nation's problems.]]
** [[spoiler:In Vert's story, she manipulates S-Sha into searching for a "Demon King" (actually a Zero Dimension monster) and then sacrificing one million ran-pigs ([[ForcedTransformation transformed Leanbox citizens and soldiers]]) in order to "save" E-Sha, not revealing that ILied until the very end when Vert and Nepgear are forced to stop her from going through with the latter.]]
** [[spoiler:In the Heartdimension H story, she kidnaps and corrupts the main Goddesses with negative energy filled with hatred, forcing them to fight the Candidates.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Because of her power being out of control, combined with her being treated like a pariah by her own people (although not entirely), she's become vengeful, leading her to believe that those who loathe her deserves to be destroyed.]]
* DeathEqualsRedemption: [[spoiler:During the 8-bit retelling of the story during the credits, Kurome ultimately apologizes for her actions before Uzume and thanks her for her forgiveness before [[DisappearsIntoLight vanishing in a flash of light]].]]
* DemonicPossession: [[spoiler:People consumed by negative emotions are vulnerable to have their bodies being possessed by her, such as C-Sha during Hyperdimension G arc. This only applies when she projects her spirit in Gamindustri from Zerodimension; by Heartdimension H she doesn't need to do this as she becomes able to enter Gamindustri personally through a dimensional hole.]]
* DimensionLord: [[spoiler:She essentially ''is'' the Heartdimension.]]
* DreamWeaver: [[spoiler:She has the ability to manipulate other people's dreams. She can corrupt people by showing them nightmares (like pushing C-Sha toward misanthropy with the belief that Lowee will betray her) or even good dreams (like pushing K-Sha further down the {{Yandere}} route by showing her a dream where Uni doesn't exist and she has Noire all to herself), and later pries the new hiding spot for the Swirl Console from the minds of Planeptune Basilicom members.]]
* DrunkWithPower: [[spoiler:She quickly goes off to the deep end after receiving what's left of Rei Ryght's CPU power from Croire, especially as Dark Orange where she becomes boisterous and wilder.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: [[spoiler:She appears briefly in the Zerodimension arc in her original Uzume form while Nepgear's reading some corrupted data, altering it and making Nepgear fall into a half-asleep state when Uzume finds her, leaving Nepgear to brush it off as AllJustADream.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: [[spoiler:After Uzume convinces the Nep sisters to destroy the Heartdimesion's Share Crystal, sacrificing herself to stop the monsters ordered by a dying Kurome to assault Gameindustri, Kurome can't comprehend how Uzume can look so happy when she's also about to die.]]
* EvilIsHammy: [[spoiler:She's a SoftSpokenSadist for most of the game, but really cuts loose when she becomes Dark Orange in the finale.]]
* EvilMeScaresMe: [[spoiler:Uzume doesn't react well to the revelation of her past and what her original has become.]]
* FakeMemories: [[spoiler:As part of her delusion powers, she can implant this into people.]]
** [[spoiler:In the prologue of Hyperdimension G, she executes this upon ''almost the entirety of Gamindustri'' to instill the Gold Third as the new leaders of each nation by taking advantage of the CPU Shift Period (the lowered faith of the people) and the negative emotion created when Gold Third unexpectedly defeated the [=CPUs=] beforehand.]]
** [[spoiler:In Heartdimension H, she revealed that sometime after sealing herself and before she grew to hate Gamindustri, Uzume also did this upon the entire Planeptune to erase all trace of herself from history.]]
* FallenAngel: [[spoiler:Much like Rei with the long lost nation Tari, she is a former Goddess of Planeptune... except some of her people loathed her existence, and even called her a demon.]]
* FallenHero: [[spoiler:The former goddess is now a vengeful spirit hell-bent on unleashing her hatred upon Gamindustri.]]
* FauxAffablyEvil: Unlike most of the other villains, she acts civil and calm rather than acting like a cheesy, ill-tempered brute, even using [[spoiler:Uzume's nicknames]]. Obviously, this helps her manipulate others, but she'll still keep it up to some extent even when her audience knows her true intentions.
* FreudianExcuse: [[spoiler:During the middle part of Heartdimension H, she tries to justify her actions by claiming she was treated like a pariah by her own people. But considering her [[{{Sadist}} mental]] [[AxCrazy state]] and [[MetaphoricallyTrue choice]] [[ConsummateLiar of]] [[SoftSpokenSadist words]], it is clear that she really enjoys inflicting pain of her victims, for the sadistic glee.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: [[spoiler:Almost literal example. From a fallen and sealed CPU of Planeptune whose very name has been forgotten, to a vengeful, ''powerful'' [[TheResenter Resenter]] [[TheHeartless Heartless]] who in the BadEnding even manages to ''succeed'' in destroying Gamindustri.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:As Dark Orange, she combines all of the Dark [=CPUs=] and place them into her, calling herself the ultimate Dark CPU as the FinalBoss.]]
* TheGhost: [[spoiler:Literally and figuratively, because over the course of the Hyperdimension G arc, she spends most of her time as a wandering spirit as her actual physical body is still sealed and Kurome's self is still stuck in her delusional dimension. It's not until she gains
enough power to create a dimensional hole that she finally becomes able to appear as herself in Gamindustri.]]
* GreaterScopeVillain: [[spoiler:She's responsible
for every single major event throughout the game.]]
* GravityMaster: [[spoiler:Within the Zerodimension and Heartdimension, she can casually alter the laws of physics, such as increasing the gravity of a location. She did this in Heartdimension H arc to force
the protagonists to defeat.kneel before her as she announces herself as Uzume Tennouboshi, the CPU of Planeptune.]]
* TheHeartless: [[spoiler:[=CPUs=] gather Share Energy (the belief and admiration of the people) to empower themselves, but after falling into her own delusion of hatred, her power source shifts to Negative Energy (fear, despair, hatred, and other negative emotions). Within her delusion, she gains strength from the despair of the inhabitants of Zerodimension. She is still able to gain Share Energy and use them, but due to her conscience (Uzume) separating from her she is unable to gather Shares by herself anymore, as Shares actually hurts her at direct contact. After Zerodimension and Heartdimension is destroyed though, her power source shifted back to Share Energy.]]
* {{Irony}}: [[spoiler:Kurome boasts about the fact that she exists on Negative Energy, and she is actually hurt if she is touched by Share Energy directly. However, she still needs to use Share Energy in order to manifest in Gamindustri, even her Dark [=CPUs=] cannot manifest without the Share Energy from the delusional goddesses she captured except if Hyperdimension and Zerodimension are merged. Even ''then'', she can only fuse the dimensions due to Rei's CPU power from Croire, which is again empowered by Shares. For extra irony, during the GoldenEnding Kurome boasts that she will exist as long as hatred does before she and Uzume commence their final battle to determine who gets to be revived, even though she no longer benefits by Negative Energy and it is actually Share Energy that will resurrect either of them.]]
* JekyllAndHyde: [[spoiler:An accurate description when comparing her and Uzume. {{Justified}}, because they are the same person.]]
* KneelBeforeZod: [[spoiler:After revealing that she's a former Planeptune [=CPU=], she increases gravity to force Nepgear and Uzume to kneel before her.]]
* KnightOfCerebus: [[spoiler:Compared to Affimojas and Steamax, as well as the rest of the antagonists from the previous installments, she has little to no comic relief moments and most of her actions are almost always seriously. Once she starts meddling with the protagonists by Hyperdimension G things get worse really fast, and by personally taking action in Heartdimension H it is even possible for her to actually ''win'' in the end. As no other antagonist in the franchise has ever won, this means that Kurome manages to be this for the ''entire franchise''.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: [[spoiler:She seems to have forgotten the citizens who supported her while only remembering the people who feared her for her RealityWarper powers.]]
* LotusEaterMachine: [[spoiler:Yet another way for her to induce delusion upon other people. She does this to the main [=CPUs=] in Heartdimension H to use their power to empower her Dark [=CPUs=].]]
* ManipulativeBitch: '''Big time.''' [[spoiler:Even though she is just a ghost during the Hyperdimension G story, she is capable of manipulating everyone else, just for her entertainment. Despite making Gold Third the [[PuppetKing "leaders"]] of the four nations, she doesn't hesitate to pull her BatmanGambit and DiabolusExMachina when the time comes. Combine this with her sadistic nature and you have a contender for the most dangerous BigBad of the ''Neptunia'' series.]]
* MasterOfDisguise: [[spoiler:Part of her power to induce delusion to other people is to make herself appear as someone else.]]
** [[spoiler:In Zerodimension Z, she appears as Uzume as she knocks Nepgear out while the latter was searching for data.]]
** [[spoiler:In Hyperdimension G, her ghost takes the form of Noire while the latter is out on a mission and then goes on a date with Uni in order to sow jealousy in K-Sha.]]
** [[spoiler:During the beginning of Heartdimension H, she once again takes the form of Uzume and pretends to be that character with Neptune and the other [=CPUs=]. After startling the [=CPUs=] by summoning Dark Purple, she proceeds to entrap them in her LotusEaterMachine.]]
* MindRape: [[spoiler:She first did this to the Gold Third, making them antagonistic to their [=CPUs=] through various manipulations. Kurome then one-ups this by placing the [=CPUs=] into her LotusEaterMachine and using their energy to empower her Dark [=CPUs=].]]
* MirrorBoss: [[spoiler:To Uzume (obviously) in the True Ending, doubling as the TrueFinalBoss, though her identical looking skills are renamed to reflect her villainous nature.]]
* MookMaker: [[spoiler:Within her own delusional dimension, Kurome can create armies of (unintelligent) monsters, the Dark [=CPUs=], and even copies of beings she has encountered, including Arfoire and the [=CPUs=]. She can continue to recreate them so long as she has Negative Energy. Unfortunately for her, they cannot manifest in Hyperdimension unless she has Share Energy (that she can no longer gain by herself) to manifest, or if she manages to merge Zerodimension and Hyperdimension together.]]
* MultiArmedAndDangerous: [[spoiler:As Dark Orange, she gains a second pair of detached arms. The right one wields Dark White's [[AnAxeToGrind axe]], while the left wields Dark Black's BFS, both recolored to fit her color scheme.]]
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Kurome becomes able to manifest as a ghost in Gamindustri during Hyperdimension G due to the Share Energy that Neptune brings over to Uzume from Hyperdimension at the end of Zerodimension Z. Eventually, she gains enough to create a portal for her true self to appear in Gamindustri personally.]]
* NotSoStoic: [[spoiler:In the True Ending. While she previously always carried herself with her SoftSpokenSadist FauxAffablyEvil personality except when she transformed, that facade completely breaks upon realizing that only she or Uzume can hope to come back in control of their original body and they have to fight for it. It's especially evident as she's using her SP skills, as her voice becomes gruffer in a manner similar to Uzume as she demands her good self to just [[WhyWontYouDie disappear]] while wailing on her.]]
* TheOlderImmortal: [[spoiler:She's a former CPU of Planeptune... as in she predates both Neptune's entire reign and life as well as that of another CPU, Uranus/Caelus. She's old enough to have encountered the Deity of Sin personally and is running for one of the oldest members of the cast, with only Ultradimension Blanc, Ultradimension Rei, Croire, Hyperdimension Histoire, and the Deity of Sin surpassing her.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:Played with. She explicitly states in Neptune's story of Hyperdimension G arc that she wishes to see all of Gamindustri to suffer, endlessly if possible. In the Heartdimension arc, she admits that she'd rather keep the heroes alive to suffer, but will have to kill them if they keep obstructing her vengeance. This makes her significantly different than most examples, who want to simply end all life.]]
-->[[spoiler:'''Kurome:''' Gamindustri looks much better when it is endlessly falling into chaos...]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: [[spoiler:Her name is technically still Uzume Tennouboushi, but both Neptunes independently decide to distinguish her as Kurome Ankokuboshi, which even her text boxes adopt.]]
* OreOnna: [[spoiler:Like Uzume, she uses the pronoun "ore", but hers is written in katakana unlike Uzume's kanji.]]
* PaintItBlack: [[spoiler:She starts off looking similar to Uzume. Her outfit turns black when she shows her true colors (literally) and kidnaps the [=CPUs=].]]
* PowerIncontinence: [[spoiler:She couldn't control her delusion powers, which led to some of her people turning on her.]]
* ThePowerOfHate: [[spoiler:What Negative Energy is, for lack of a better description. It's her main source of power and she uses it to corrupt the Gold Third and [=CPU=]s at various points in the story]].
* PowerNullifier: [[spoiler:Using Negative Energy, she can cripple people from using Share Energy by infusing negative emotions upon them. Arfoire and Affimojas both gain this ability from her.]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Uzume possesses a unique power that is capable of turning her wishes and delusions into reality. Within her own dimension, [[TheHeartless she is capable of using negative emotions as power source]], and with them, manipulate reality itself by [[MookMaker creating minions powerful enough to distort space-time]] and even casually [[GravityMaster increase the gravity of the world]] to force people to kneel. While outside of her dimension this power is less potent, she is still capable of inducing [[MindRape various]] [[LotusEaterMachine forms]] of delusion to people and [[FakeMemories rewrite their memories]]. If Zerodimension and Hyperdimension were to merge as she planned, she will be able to utilize her powers in Zerodimension within the fused world.]]
* TheResenter: [[spoiler:She despises the people of Gamindustri; Planeptune in particular, believing that she was created by her own people only to then be rejected, discarded and sealed away. Her hatred is so great that it created the Zero Dimension (the embodiment of Gamindustri while she's destroying it) and the Heart Dimension (the embodiment of Gamindustri after she destroys it).]]
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler:Exploited, discussed, and then subverted. During her MotiveRant, she says that she wants to rule the whole of Gamindustri to reclaim what she lost, all while taking revenge on those who loathe her. Once her good self realizes that she doesn't really despise the world and the world still cares about her, it's so clear that she is merely a ChessMaster who just wants to watch the Gamindustri to be destroyed]].
* {{Sadist}}: Watching people suffer is her most delight entertainment. Deceiving them, pitting them against each other, disposing of her victims when she no longer needs them, most of her antics have little to no purpose other than to satisfy her diabolical pleasure. While she does have a FreudianExcuse due to her troubled past, it is made all clear that she's really enjoy this.
-->[[spoiler:'''Kurome''']]: They say that the misfortune of people tastes of honey... don't they? Seeing people suffer is my ''treat''.
* SelfServingMemory: [[spoiler:While some of her people ''did'' turn on her, even attempting more than one assassination, there were still several who supported her. She also claims that she got sealed after the assassinations failed, when she actually voluntarily sealed herself until Histoire could come up with a way to fix her PowerIncontinence.]]
* ShadowArchetype: [[spoiler:Of Uzume herself.]]
* TheSociopath: [[spoiler:While she once sealed herself away to protect the world, she now just wants to watch it burn. Doesn't help that her conscience split off into another person.]]
* SoftSpokenSadist: Her calm and soft speech combined with her sadistic mentality is quite frightening compared to most other [[EvilIsHammy main villains]] in the series. [[spoiler:It's especially frightening when compared to Uzume's (which oscillates between a TomboyishVoice and a ChildLikeVoice) despite both of them being the same person.]]
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: [[spoiler:Like Zerodimension Uzume and adult Neptune to Plutia and Peashy respectively, she plays the similar role as the BigBad and TrueFinalBoss, Rei from ''Victory''.]]
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:After getting defeated, she declares that she's taking Rei's power down with her, and sends a swarm of monsters to wreak havoc on the Hyperdimension in her dying breath, though it's foiled by Uzume's HeroicSacrifice.]]
* ThenLetMeBeEvil: [[spoiler:Her people painted her as a demon because she couldn't control her powers. She eventually decided to become just that.]]
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler:After getting punched out by Dogoo Man of all people and getting her console (which is her actual body) snatched away by Steamax, her tone remains as cold as ever, but the protagonists are frightened by how much killing intent she's giving off.]]
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:In addition to Dark Orange, Kurome must also be defeated in her human form in the GoldenEnding.]]
* {{Unperson}}: [[spoiler:Did this to herself by erasing all memories and records of her existence from Gameindustri after her sealing, claiming that she was just granting their wish of wanting to forget about her. Even Histoire, an artificial being who was [[RippleEffectProofMemory unaffected]] by her CosmicRetcon removing the concept of [=CPUs=], can only vaguely remember working with ''someone'' a long time ago.]]
* UsedToBeASweetKid: [[spoiler:She used to be kind and bubbly, but her delusion powers ran amok and she was eventually sealed away. Though her people stayed faithful to her to the end, she was eventually corrupted into believing that everyone was against her, putting her into the state she's in now.]]
* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:After getting defeated as Dark Orange, she disappears while desperately screaming about how she hasn't gotten her revenge yet. In the Revival Ending, her sealed body absorbs enough Negative Energy to revive herself, sounding as smug as usual when the protagonists confront her again... until Uzume points out that their sealed body ran out of shares and died since Neptune and Nepgear destroyed the Heartdimension's Share Crystal, leaving the two as mere ghosts who will soon be going to hell together. This completely sends her off the deep end, hysterically refusing to accept her fate, as she resumes her Dark Orange form. Her in-battle quotes have her almost pitifully wailing about not wanting to disappear and lamenting that the world keeps rejecting her.]]
* TheVoice: [[spoiler:She's heard several times throughout the Hyperdimension arc, usually talking to a Gold Third member or Affimojas, but [[UnseenNoMore doesn't actually show up]] ([[MasterOfDisguise at least not in her true form]]) until the Heartdimension arc.]]
* VoiceOfTheLegion: [[spoiler:Gains a demonic echo as Dark Orange.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Not as much as Rei from ''Victory'', but still there are many spoilers in her character.
* WeCanRuleTogether: [[spoiler:After Uzume boasts that she's gained Share Energy, Kurome invites her to merge back together and take revenge on Gameindustri with their combined Share and Negative Energy. Uzume refuses, even after having her memories of their DarkAndTroubledPast restored.]]
* WhyWontYouDie: [[spoiler:During her MirrorBoss battle with Uzume in the True Ending, several of her quotes during her SP skills has her demanding Uzume to "disappear" in [[NotSoStoic a gruff, angry voice]] as she furiously wails on her]]. Which makes sense, [[spoiler:as she knows what will [[SplitPersonalityMerge happen]] to herself if she loses]].
* WorldsStrongestWoman: [[spoiler:She is the second strongest character in the ''Neptunia'' series, at least in her own dimension. Although not as powerful as Rei from ''Victory'', she is nonetheless capable of pulling the same trick as Rei does, ''even though she spends most of her time as a wandering spirit''. Coupled with her cunning and deceitful nature, she's capable of presenting herself as the most dangerous main antagonist in the franchise. When she does get a body, she does become even more powerful then Rei.]]
* TheWomanBehindTheMan: [[spoiler:All the game's problems trace back to her. Arfoire and the Dark [=CPUs=] plaguing the Zerodimension are her creations, and she causes the ComsicRetcon in the Hyperdimension while [=AffimaX=] were simply accomplices.]]

After Magic defeated Arfoire's most loyal follower, and the de-facto leader of Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime. An aspect of the Deity of Sin, she tapped into the power of Shares and used them to defeat and trap the [=CPUs=] and sealed them in the Gamindustri Graveyard, she sent Judge to watch over them.

* CameBackWrong: In the True End, [[spoiler:her desire to serve under Arfoire becomes a [[OmnicidalManiac desire to ensure everything]] becomes [[TheAssimilator one with her]]]].
* CurbStompBattle: In the prologue she faced off against the four Goddesses, alone. The result would seem to be the four of them [[BadassInDistress being captured and bound]] by naughty tentacles.
* TheDragon: While technically the Four Felons would count as these, her position as the leader among [=CFWs=] cements her as this to ASIC as a whole.
* EvilCounterpart: More or less outright stated to be the case in the Colloseum match against her in the next game, ''Victory''. She is referred to as "The CPU of the CFW."
* EvilRedhead: RoseHairedSweetie she is not.
* EyepatchOfPower: An ominous one covers her right eye.
* {{Expy}}: To the first game's version of Arfoire. She even shares the same voice actress.
* FanBoy: The personification of this.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Her power comes from the Shares belonging to ASIC, therefore as the four nations begin extorting Shares back, Magic progressively becomes weaker, which downgrades her from being invincible to defeatable.
* OneWomanArmy: At least during the prologue, when she is holding the majority of the world's Shares. Five goddesses (The four [=CPUs=] plus Purple Sister) versus her. She curb stomped them.
** Even after weakened enough near the end of the game, she is still more than a match for the CPU Candidates together to defeat. She is only defeated after ASIC takes over Planeptune, which weakens her Share further.

ASIC's Macot and Linda's Sidekick. Has a crush on Compa.
----
* DubNameChange: He's Warechu in Japan, but was renamed Pirachu by NIS America. However, when the series changed hands in the West, his Japanese name was restored, with the exception of ''VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart'' due to when the English version released.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Temporarily ends up completely massive [[ComesGreatInsanity and completely insane]].
* OnlySaneMan: Among ASIC.
* PunnyName: Both his Japanese and English names are references to software piracy. While the English name makes it kind of obvious ('''Pira'''chu), his Japanese name is a pun on the Japanese term for a software pirate (割れ厨, also pronounced ''warechu''), and can also evoke the term [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/warez warez]].

[[quoteright:190:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/f7f95826ed7867ba7bf1afb6cb091192_3972.png]]
* BrickJoke: Several chapters, and a bit over 10 years, after the Seven Sages have gotten to show off their [[BossSubtitles special logos]], he finally gets to do his hoping that maybe the [=CPUs=] would show him some mercy because of it. [[ThrowTheDogABone They actually were willing to do so]], [[YankTheDogsChain except for Iris Heart]].
* CallToAgriculture: [[spoiler:In the true end he works for Arfoire on her eggplant farm.]]
* TheChewToy
* ClusterFBomb: A variant. He is foul-mouthed without restraint.
* CornerOfWoe: A variation at the end of chapter 2, when he tries and fails to announce his name and get his own {{Boss Subtitle|s}} to appear. The game has him standing in the corner of the screen, sadly looking down to the ground while the CPU's, at that moment still recovering from [[LargeHam Copypaste's]] [[NoIndoorVoice introduction]], eventually note he looks depressed.
* DubNameChange: Was Warechu (as in ''Warez'') in Japan. His name was retained in ''[=Re;Birth3=]''
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He will jump at the chance to work for the [=CPUs=] if Iris Heart is making the request in order to avoid her wrath, but always goes back to the Seven Sages once he gets away from her. Once Compa grows up he settles for working with the [=CPUs=] to stay near her.
* FragileSpeedster: Unless you've gone out of your way to over level or gear specifically for accuracy expect most of your attacks to never connect. Those that do though bring him down quite quickly compared to most bosses.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Pirachu became a member of the Seven Sages almost without noticing.
%%* GenreSavvy
* InsistentTerminology: Not [[FantasticSlurs Rat]], not Mouse, ''Pirachu''. No one listens.
* IWarnedYou: [[spoiler: He tried to get Mister Badd to hurry up and just make his announcement so that he (Warechu) could go home because he knew and said as much that the [=CPUs=] would find some way to escape and come after them. While Mister Badd is trying to tell him that it's just impossible, Plutia shows up midsentence.]]
--> '''Warechu''': "Sonofabitch! I -knew- it!"
* KansaiRegionalAccent: His Japanese voice.
* KillerRabbit: Averted. Pirachu's combat abilities aren't that great. He can deal out surprisingly high damage and can be somewhat hard to hit if the team's accuracy is low, but compared to the other Seven Sages he goes down quick.
* {{Mascot}}: Claims to be one of three in the mouse world.
* TheNicknamer: At least to the females in the Seven Sages. Pirachu calls Rei "Mature woman" and Arfoire "Middle-aged lady". The latter...isn't amused.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he was just part of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad in ''mk2'', his Ultradimension version is part of the [[BigBadDuumvirate Seven Sages.]]
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Compared to the other Seven Sages.

* VitriolicBestBuds: Whether either will admit it or not, Pirachu and Arfoire actually share this dynamic, and despite their bickering, really are friends, with Pirachu actually willing to stand up to the [=CPUs=] to let Arfoire flee from Plutia. Even the [=CPUs=] were touched by this.
* YouShallNotPass: When Arfoire is trembling uncontrollably in fear of Plutia, Pirachu urges her to escape while he holds back the [=CPUs=]. They're so moved that he was hoping that be able to avoid a fight... too bad for him that Iris Heart isn't that compassionate...

A villainous mouse with a crush on Compa.
!!General Tropes
* DubNameChange: He's Warechu in Japan, but was renamed Pirachu by NIS America. However, when the series changed hands in the West, his Japanese name was restored, with the exception of ''VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart'' due to when the English version released.

* {{Mascot}}: Claims to be one [[WesternAnimation/MickeyMouse of]] [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} three]] in the mouse world.
* PunnyName: Both his Japanese and English names are references to software piracy.

* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: He is rather adorable, and his crush on Compa merely adds to it.

!!Magic the Hard / CFW Magic
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiakiTakahashi (Japanese), Creator/LauraPost (English)

[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/CFW_Magic_105.png]]

Arfoire's most loyal follower, and the de-facto leader of Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime. An aspect of the Deity of Sin, she tapped into the power of Shares and used them to defeat and trap the [=CPUs=] in the prologue, cementing the cult as the dominant religion. She the personification of Fanboy/Fangirlism.
----
* CameBackWrong: In the True End, [[spoiler:her desire to serve under Arfoire becomes a [[OmnicidalManiac desire to ensure everything]] becomes [[TheAssimilator one with her]]]].
* CurbStompBattle: In the prologue she faced off against the four Goddesses, alone. The result would seem to be the four of them [[BadassInDistress being captured and bound]] by naughty tentacles.
* TheDragon: While technically the Four Felons would count as these, her position as the leader among [=CFWs=] cements her as this to ASIC as a whole.
* EvilCounterpart: More or less outright stated to be the case in the Colloseum match against her in the next game, ''Victory''. She is referred to as "The CPU of the CFW."
* EvilRedhead: RoseHairedSweetie she is not.
* EyepatchOfPower: An ominous one covers her right eye.
* {{Expy}}: To the first game's version of Arfoire. She even shares the same voice actress.
* FanBoy: The personification of this.
* GodsNeedPrayerBadly: Her power comes from the Shares belonging to ASIC, therefore as the four nations begin extorting Shares back, Magic progressively becomes weaker, which downgrades her from being invincible to defeatable.
* OneWomanArmy: At least during the prologue, when she is holding the majority of the world's Shares. Five goddesses (The four [=CPUs=] plus Purple Sister) versus her. She curb stomped them.
** Even after weakened enough near the end of the game, she is still more than a match for the CPU Candidates together to defeat. She is only defeated after ASIC takes over Planeptune, which weakens her Share further.
%%* SinisterScythe:
* {{Stripperific}}
* ThanatosGambit: She's rightfully confident that she would never lose, but just in case [[spoiler: she ensures that her [[NiceJobBreakingItHero death only speeds up Arfoire's revival]].]]
* VillainDecay: The main plot of the game is to weaken the Shares belonging to ASIC so that Magic is weakened enough for the protagonists to defeat.

!!Judge the Hard / CFW Judge
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KenjiroTsuda (Japanese), Creator/KyleHebert (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/CFW_Judge_8053.png]]

After Magic defeated the [=CPUs=] and sealed them in the Gamindustri Graveyard, she sent Judge to watch over them. He is ruthless in battle and proved to be a difficult obstacle for Nepgear, IF and Compa, cutting their plans to free the other [=CPUs=] short at first. He is the personifation of people who gave up after their games flopped.
----
* AnAxeToGrind
* TheBerserker
* [[BlackDudeDiesFirst Black Ax Crazy Robot Dies First]]
* CameBackWrong: Of the four, he's the only one [[{{Subverted}} not to]]. It helps that he was already completely insane.
* CurbStompBattle: The actual fight with him will end this way for either you or him. He is powerful enough to wipe out most of your team in a single turn, but just before the fight, Nepgear gets an extremely powerful new processor set and a GameBreaker skill called Celestial Severance. Your CPU Candidates also receive the Superior Angels skill shortly before entering the area, another ridiculously powerful skill. And to top it all off, everyone in your party begins the fight with a full 300 SP. So the fight is pretty much a race to see who will utterly annihilate the other first.
* CreatorBreakdown / RageQuit: The personification of this.
* EyeScream: This is how Nepgear, IF, and Compa escape him the first time they have to fight him.
* TheGrimReaper: As the personification of game creators giving up after poor sales, he's been designed to look the part at the very least. Despite this, Magic is the one with [[SinisterScythe the associated weapon]].
* HumongousMecha: Looks like one.
* PsychoRangers: Apart from Magic herself, his wings resemble that of the [=CPUs=] to a limited extent. He and Magic also served as Nepgear's counterpart in AISC, as his goal is to keep the [=CPUs=] contained in the graveyard while Nepgear's is to free them.

!!Brave the Hard / CFW Brave
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KentaroIto (Japanese), Creator/DavidVincent (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/CFW_Brave_6987.png]]

A HumongousMecha who knows well about improvished children and as such, will help ASIC to bring joy to the poor children, [[WhiteAndGreyMorality this naturaly puts him in a bit of a moral grey area]]. He is the personification of [[CrackIsCheaper not being able to buy the newest games]].
----
* AffablyEvil: The "more chivalrous than evil" CFW Brave. He is described as such, and offered to let Nepgear and Uni free before attacking when he found them in Endless Zone.
* AntiVillain: Brave believes that piracy is the only way for poor children to play and enjoy games and he fights for their sake.
* CameBackWrong: In the True Ending and Holy Sword Ending, [[spoiler:though as far as Arfoire's concerned he came back right as he's reduced to being a BloodKnight who no longer cares for children]].
* EvilMakeover: In the True Ending, his color scheme turns [[DarkIsEvil red and black]].
* FlamingSword
* HotBlooded
* HumongousMecha: Looks like a cross between ''Anime/GaoGaiGar'', [[Anime/{{Gravion}} Sol Gravion]], Anime/BraveExkaiser, [[VideoGame/SuperRobotWarsOriginalGeneration Thrudgelmir]], and Anime/DancougarNova.
* MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning: In the True Ending, he is reprogrammed to attack Uni and Noire. [[DyingAsYourself When defeated, he told Uni he will always be by her side,]] even if he isn't around, and uses his remaining data to create a new assault rifle for Uni.
* PerpetualPoverty: The personification of this. Specifically the resentment of not having the money to keep up with game releases.
* NobleDemon: As the personification of not having enough money to buy new games, Brave fights to protect children's joy, and doesn't want to see their smiles fade. He's like Santa if he were a villainous mecha. No, really.
* PsychoRangers: ASIC's counterpart to Uni. OppositesAttract indeed... Interestingly apart from Trick, he resembles the [=CPUs=] the least, being a HumongousMecha with more airplane-like wings
* TokenGoodTeammate: He's an AntiVillain at best and his goal is to protect children's joy.
* WorthyOpponent: Sees Uni as this and the feeling is mutual.

!!Trick the Hard / CFW Trick
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/YojiUeda (Japanese), Creator/DerekStephenPrince (English), Creator/JoshGrelle (English Anime)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/CFW_Trick_9523.png]]

A [[ReptilesAreAbhorrent reptilian-looking]] paedophile who seems to be hated by most everyone (wonder why?). He represents the reactions to NintendoHard games
----
* AffablyEvil: Sort of. He claims that he never goes full out on little girls. That doesn't stop him from brainwashing them, though.
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: He can do this to other people.
* CameBackWrong: In the True Ending and Holy Sword Ending [[spoiler:his obsession with children ends up becoming a love for [[ChildEater eating them]]]].
* DirtyOldMan
* FatBastard
* HumongousMecha: Looks like one.
* IRegretNothing: Because he got to die at the hands of maidens/cutie pies.
* KingKoopaCopy: A large dragon-like figure? Check! Horns? Check! Red spiky hair? Check! A spiky shell on the back? Check! The fact that you first meet him in a land based off a Nintendo console? Check and double check!
* LastSecondWordSwap:
--> "I need to whip out my.... Sewing kit!"
* NintendoHard: The personification of your reactions to this.
* OverlyLongTongue: How he attacks and he always tries to lick the twins with it.
* PsychoRangers: In a corollary to Judge and Magic collectivity being Nepgear's counterparts, he is this to both Ram and Rom, due to his preferences.

!!Linda/Underling
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/JunkoMinagawa (Japanese) , Morgan-Berry (English)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Underling_3214.jpg]]

Not much there is to say about her, other than she is an Underling. She confronts the party at every turn hoping to destroy the mascots before they empower Nepgear. Like Arfoire and Magic, she also uses ASIC's shares to her advantage.
----
* AvengingTheVillain: The final fight against her in the True Ending is because [[spoiler:[[RevengeBeforeReason she wants revenge]] for them [[ItsPersonal killing Magic twice]]]], hoping that maybe [[TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou she can kill them before]] Arfoire [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroys the world]].
* BadGuysDoTheDirtyWork: [[spoiler:When Vert loses to the Nep sisters in the Conquest Ending, they can't bring themselves to kill her because she won't consent to it like Lastation and Lowee's [=CPUs=], and just end up letting her leave with the HungryWeapon. It's only after Linda ambushes the exhausted Vert and fatally injures her that she finally accepts just so her death will mean something.]]
* BareYourMidriff
* BlackShirt
* [[GodNeedsPrayerBadly Enforcer Needs Shares Badly]]: Linda's power comes from the fact she can tap into [=ASIC's=] Shares. As those get worn down, she steadily becomes less of a threat.
* EvenEvilHasStandards:
** Linda is disgusted by CFW Trick's behaviour towards Rom and Ram.
** Linda beats feet when CFW Magic [[spoiler:starts committing genocide in Arfoire's name]].
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: Well, Everyone Calls Her "Underling": Linda receives this label from Nepgear and company, much to her dismay. Even Warechu keeps calling her "Underling" despite multiple demands telling him not to, and to add insult to injury, the name above the text box every time she speaks is changed from "Linda" to "Underling."
* FakeUltimateMook: There's nothing fake about how dangerous she is in her first encounter in gameplay terms, but narratively speaking that's only because she had an immense situational advantage. As the party properly gears up and decays [=ASIC's=] shares, she rapidly goes from serious threat to absolute joke.
* {{Fangirl}}: Some of her dialog implies that she's one for Magic.
* GoldfishPoopGang: So much so that ''the game eventually stops bothering to make her a boss fight.''
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold[=/=]JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Zigzagged. She's kind to civilians, but that's usually so she can sell ASIC merchandise to them. She then feeds a stray cat and recruits it into ASIC, though she has no plans to actually make it do anything evil, which suggests she's not all bad.
* KickTheSonOfABitch: She's an evil brat at the best of times, but it's really hard to feel sorry for her [[spoiler:in the Conquest end. One could nearly forgive Nepgear's EvilFeelsGood moment, just because it's Underling she offed]].
* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: [[spoiler:Manages to fatally injure Vert in the Conquest Ending by ambushing her while she's exhausted from fighting Neptune and Negpear. She attempts to do the same to them, but ends up killed for it]]
* MasterOfDisguise: Makes a convincing disguise as Chika. Subverted when she keeps flubbing her lines and regressing into her normal speech patterns, though the [[IdiotBall party fails to see through her for a while]].
* NotWhatISignedOnFor: After Magic tells her that everything [[TheAssimilator will be absorbed into Arfoire]] and [[KickTheSonOfABitch tries to kill her]], she realizes that Magic [[CameBackWrong has changed]] and that things are more extreme than she first thought and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere bails]].
* QuirkyMinibossSquad: Forms one with Warechu.
* VillainHasAPoint: [[spoiler:During the Conquest End, after she has beaten Vert to an inch of her life, the heroines state that what she has done is [[ThisIsUnforgivable unforgivable]]. Underling's counter-statement is saying she just did what they were trying to do a moment ago, and that they should thank her. What she gets for that? [[ShutUpHannibal A sword to the stomach, that's what!]]]]
* WeaponAcrossTheShoulder
** PipePain

!!Warechu/Pirachu
-->'''Voiced by:''' Neeko (Japanese)

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/pirachu.png]]

ASIC's Macot and Linda's Sidekick. Has a crush on Compa.
----
* DubNameChange: He's Warechu in Japan, but was renamed Pirachu by NIS America. However, when the series changed hands in the West, his Japanese name was restored, with the exception of ''VideoGame/HyperdevotionNoireGoddessBlackHeart'' due to when the English version released.
* MakeMyMonsterGrow: Temporarily ends up completely massive [[ComesGreatInsanity and completely insane]].

* VerbalTic: It's chu, chump!

[[folder:Seven Sages]]
!! Tropes relating to all of them:
* [[BigBadDuumvirate Big Bad Septumvirate]]: They all have their own different agendas but they do agree that the CPU goddesses should not exist at all.
* HeelFaceTurn: Several of them undergo one. Namely, [[spoiler:''everybody'' except for Arfoire (who just gives up on outright villainy) and [[EnemyMine maybe Anonydeath]]. Abnes defects when she finds out what the Sages are really up to, Copypaste's reprogrammed personality allows hiim to befriend the main characters, Pirachu doesn't so much defect as just blindly obey any request Compa makes, Badd quits so he can lead a normal life with his "daughters" (and tries to make amends by turning them back to human), Peashy regains her memories, and Rei (both of them) has some sense permanently slapped into her.]]

* TheAllegedBoss: It's easy to forget that she's supposed to be the leader of the Seven Sages given how much they push her around.
* ApocalypseHow: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei caused a Regional Class 2, [[OmnicidalManiac Hyperdimension Rei]] attempts a Multiversal one, Class 5 or 6.]]
* ApologizesAlot: She will often apologize and eventually run away, even when she technically didn't do anything wrong, like during her attempted rally.
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:In the True Ending, Ultradimension Rei finally learns to take responsibility for her actions and came to rescue Iris Heart from her power trying to posses the latter. She also reforms the Seven Sages into a better organization.]]
* AxCrazy: [[spoiler:She becomes ''absolutely insane'' when she becomes DrunkWithPower. Blanc even calls her a psycho, much to her anger.]]
-->[[spoiler: '''Rei:''' Who's a psycho!? Everyone around me keeps saying that, but I'm correct! I embody propriety!]]
* BerserkButton:
** Rather ironically, she doesn't like being called a "[[IResembleThatRemark psycho]]", nor does she take pity from a Goddess, as [[spoiler: Neptune]] learned the hard way.
** [[spoiler: Peashy finds out that reminding her in any way of [[ChristmasCake her age]] proves to be one while the HDD personality is in control. Part of her tirade at the [=CPU=]s becomes about how she's never dated a man, will never marry, and has never had a child, after Peashy continues to call her Mommy.]]
* BewareTheNiceOnes: More so than Plutia. She's a timid NiceGirl who gets bullied a lot by the rest of the cast. [[spoiler: Then she becomes an [[AxCrazy murderous]] OminicidalManiac in HDD]].
* BigBad: [[spoiler: Her Ultradimension counterpart serves as this, as she is responsible for [[UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 The Great Crash]] that lead to the death of her citizens as well as forming a group dedicated to eliminating the goddesses.]]
* BoomerangBigot: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is constantly ranting about how awful [=CPUs=] are despite being one herself.]]
* ChristmasCake: Approaching her 30s, and claims to be too old to marry. [[spoiler: Or more specifically for Ultradimension Rei ''was'' approaching her 30s, and is now simply stuck looking that way despite being several thousand years old.]]
* CorruptTheCutie: [[spoiler: Croire gives her dark energy to regain her powers. [[WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity It works out too well]].]]
* CurbStompBattle: [[spoiler:Dishes this out to the three CPU goddesses of the Hyperdimension Gamindustri in the Good Ending Route.]]
* CuteAndPsycho: In her normal form, she is a shy lady who is [[ExtremeDoormat pushed around by everyone]]. [[spoiler:In her HDD form, she is a tyrannical PsychopathicWomanchild who murder anyone who gets in her way.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Because of her tyrannical rule, the Tari land collapsed, leading her to believe that the CPU system should not exist in the first place.]]
* DePower: [[spoiler:Apparently suffered this in the Ultradimension timeline. This leads to...]]
** RePower: [[spoiler:She sent a fragment of her power over to the Hyperdimension timeline, who sends some of the power back to her and she gets HDD again, though apparently she's nowhere near as strong as she no longer has any worshippers.]]
* DimensionalTraveler: [[spoiler:A unique trait to her [=CPU=] powers compared to normal, she's able to distort and pierce through to other dimensions. She created the hole between the Hyperdimension and Ultradimension to send Neptune away. Hyperdimension Rei was utterly elated when she found out she was the one who made the Goddess go away after that.]]
* DrunkWithPower: [[spoiler:As soon as she gains superpowers, Rei slips into this ''very'' quickly.]]
* DubNameChange: Downplayed; Her ''surname'' is changed from "Kiseijou" to "Ryghts".
* EntitledBitch: [[spoiler:As the [=CPU=] of Tari, she believed that her citizens were obligated to worship her 24/7, and would casually go out and kill anyone who had a problem with her. When an angry mob eventually tried to oust her, she decided to just destroy everything rather than reflect on her tyranny.]]
* ExoticEyeDesigns: [[spoiler:When in HDD form, she has a symbol in her eyes like the CPU, however, it's not the power symbol. More specifically, the symbol looks like a triangle with an exclamation mark going through the bottom of the triangle; kind of like a warning symbol.]]
* ExtremeDoormat: She can't stand up to herself and gets walked over by everyone.
* EvilFeelsGood: When she sent Neptune into the past, what was her first reaction? A SlasherSmile and gloating that she was actually to successfully do something of such magnitude. Given her earlier appearances, you actually have to be happy for her. [[spoiler:And it's also a good CallBack because this was her reaction when she first got her powers thousands of years ago.]]
* EvilIsHammy: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is such a hysterical, ranting lunatic that others can hardly believe that she's the same person as the ShrinkingViolet that they're used to.]]
* EvilLaugh: [[spoiler:Does this quite often later on in the game and she does them beautifully and menacingly.]]
* FallenAngel: [[spoiler: Downplayed. She was a former Goddess of the long-gone nation of Tari. Once she got her powers however, she became deranged, turning against her civilians and led to The Great Crash that resulted in the deaths of millions and destruction of her nation. This leads her into becoming the BigBad of ''Victory''.]]
* FromNobodyToNightmare: When Rei gets [[spoiler:her HDD form,]] her personality completely changes from a timid woman to [[spoiler:an AxCrazy tyrant. The Hyperdimension Rei [[OmnicidalManiac goes even further]].]]
* TheGlassesComeOff: [[spoiler:In her HDD form, see TookALevelInBadass below. The effect is… unnerving to say the least.]]
* GenreSavvy: Is well aware that one should not swallow a floating mass of dark energy. Not that is helps her much…
* GhostMemory: [[spoiler:Hyperdimension Rei ends up getting the memories of the Ultradimension Rei mixed with her own when she receives her powers. The sudden addition of several thousand years of memory from a completely different world are implied to be why she's so much further off the deep end than the one she received the power from.]]
* GodSaveUsFromTheQueen: [[spoiler:What she was a long time ago, where she was a tyrannical ruler who was responsible for The Great Crash, resulting in her people rebelling against her.]]
* GrewASpine: [[spoiler:By the end of the game, she's learned to channel her HDD persona to actually make the remaining Sages take her seriously.]]
* HornedHumanoid: Wears a horn-like accessory on the [[FashionableAsymmetry left side of her head]]. [[spoiler:Gains a matching one on the right side in her [=CPU=] form.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: [[spoiler:HDD Rei is constanlty ranting about how bad [=CPUs=] are (even their {{Stripperific}} outfits [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking annoy her]]) while refusing to acknowledge her own tyrannical behavior (her outfit is just as revealing as the average [=CPU=], by the way).]]
* IJustWantToBeNormal: [[spoiler:After gaining her powers, she becomes so ruthless that by the time she caused The Great Crash, she doesn't want to be a CPU anymore. Thus, her starting the Seven Sages group.]]
* IncomingHam[=/=]ChewingTheScenery: Her first boss fight's pre-dialogue. It is one ''the longest'' scenes in the game. [[spoiler:She sums up her past history, complains about the other [=HDDs=], makes many statements about why she thinks she is right, and so on.]]
%%* IneffectualSympatheticVillain: [[spoiler:Mostly.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: [[spoiler:When her timid personality fades away, Rei ''breathes'' this trope, in constant denial of everyone who has a far more accurate view, and believing the world to be wrong simply because she says it is.]]
* InTheEndYouAreOnYourOwn: Due to the efforts of the [=CPU=]s, all the Seven Sages were defeated, and the organization crumbled, leaving Rei by herself. You really do pity the girl as she delves deeper into her self-deprecating attitude.
* IronicEcho: She pushes for the fact that there should be no more goddesses [[spoiler:only to find out that she's an [[AmnesiacGod Amnesiac Goddess]] herself (and the ''first one'' no less), though with most of her powers gone.]]
* ItMeantSomethingToMe: When Anonydeath finally leaves the Seven Sages her immediate concern is that their pretend marriage is what's ending not that he's leaving the group.
* ItsAllAboutMe: [[spoiler:As HDD Rei, she rants about how the CPU system, and even the entire world, are flawed and [[OmnicidalManiac need to be reset]] because she didn't get her way. Uni even Lampshades this in the true ending.]]
--> '''Uni''': [[spoiler:So after all this, you were just thinking of yourself? Like a big self-pity party?]]
* JekyllAndHyde: A more accurate example [[spoiler: when comparing her normal and HDD forms. As normal Rei, she is [[ShrinkingViolet meek]] and gentle woman with a tendency to [[ApologizesALot apologize a lot]]. As HDD Rei, she’s a [[LargeHam loud]], [[AxCrazy murderoulsy insane]] tryant who becomes DrunkWithPower.]]
* LegendFadesToMyth: Once Rei explains [[spoiler:who she is and what lead her to do everything she had,]] Blanc informs her that [[spoiler:the former nation of Tari has become considered nothing more than a myth and warning for [=CPUs=] to understand that they serve their people not the other way around.]]
* MoeAnthropomorphism: [[spoiler:Of the UsefulNotes/{{Atari 2600}}, with all the [[UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 tragedy]] that would imply.]]
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Considering she accidentally murdered ''her entire nation'', this qualifies.]]
* MyFutureSelfAndMe: Inverted. [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei is the past version of the Hyperdimension Rei, apparently; the former aids the latter.]]
* MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold: Played with. Rei is an entirely innocent girl who just thinks she can improve the world better if it's a little more orderly and the Goddesses don't reign supreme. Sadly, no one listens to her, despite all the hard work she does. [[spoiler: Turns out [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone there's a good reason why she acts that way]].]]
* NeverMyFault: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei initially doesn't accept that it was her HDD personality that caused The Great Crash, but that it was simply the concept of [=CPUs=] in general, so she starts the Seven Sages. She gets over it.]]
* NoSenseOfDirection: She doesn't know where she's going at times.
--> '''Neptune''': By any chance, were you running ever since yesterday? If so, then that's amazing! Wow, you have an awesome [[LampshadeHanging sense of no direction]]!
* ObviouslyEvil: She wears ''skulls''.
* TheOlderImmortal: [[spoiler:Out of all the Goddesses in the game, Neptune and her crew from the Hyperdimension would most likely be the oldest, followed by Blanc from the Ultradimension, who appears to be a few centuries old. Vert, Peashy, and Noire don't top more than a few decades. ''Rei'' on the other hand, is ''several thousand years old'', having been a Goddess for far longer than any of the main characters. She has the power to show it.]]
* OlderThanSheLooks: Despite her age of nearing 30, she looks closer to twenty. [[spoiler: That's not even getting into the whole thousands year old former goddess thing]]
* OmnicidalManiac: [[spoiler:In the True Ending, HDD Rei wants to destroy everything for not going her way.]]
* PsychopathicWomanchild: [[spoiler:Her HDD rants may remind the player of a spiteful kid who just got his favorite toy taken away from her.]]
* PutThemAllOutOfMyMisery: [[spoiler:HDD Rei believes that the [[BoomerangBigot CPU system]] (and even [[OmnicidalManiac the entire world]] in the True Ending) need to be eliminated because they made ''her'' unhappy (never mind that she was a self-absorbed tyrant who was entirely to blame for her own nation's downfall).]]
* RealityWarper: [[spoiler:Can open portals to the past, as mentioned above]].
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei is the oldest goddess no less, by her own count anywhere between thousands and tens of thousands of years old.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: She is this in ''spades''. From her [[ApologizesALot apologising for things that weren't even her fault]] to being [[ExtremeDoormat walked over by almost everyone]].
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Downplayed, but she wears a skull as a belt buckle of sorts, and on her arm guards.
* SlasherSmile: A rather scary one when she sends Neptune to the past, since it is obviously the first time she's succeeded in anything. [[spoiler:She gains it again when she becomes a Goddess. Both times, it is ''very'' off-putting.]]
* StrawNihilist: [[spoiler:Rei deems the world to be utterly wrong. However, she rejects the ultimate conclusion that nothing matters - vowing to change the world to how ''she'' wants it.]]
* SuperPrototype: [[spoiler:Ultradimension Rei was the very first Goddess in her timeline apparently. She's also one of the strongest characters in the Neptunia universe story-wise.]]
* SuperpoweredEvilSide: When DrunkWithPower, her personality undergoes a ''drastic'' change from a shy, frail ExtremeDoormat in civilian form [[spoiler: to a overbearing, powerhungry dictator who will annihilate anyone who gets in her way in HDD.]]
* TerribleArtist: After she [[spoiler: is defeated in the Ultradimension universe and her personality returns to normal]], Rei attempts to provide background on [[spoiler: how she became a [=CPU=]]]. To aid her, she provides a visual aid she drew, except the art is so incomprehensible to everyone, even to the player much to Neptune's concern, that all anyone can do is laugh at it. [[HilarityEnsues Then it's revealed that she drew several of them]].
* TookALevelInBadass: [[spoiler:Hyperdimension Rei gained her badassery after Croire gives her powers from the Ultradimension Rei, who in turn sent some of that power back so that one could regain hers. To put it simply, they ''ping-pong'ed'' this trope.]]
* TrueFinalBoss: [[spoiler:Surprisingly, instead of Magiquone/Arfoire who usually fills this role in the first two games.]]
* {{Underboobs}}: [[spoiler:Just like Vert, in her HDD form]].
* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Oddly enough, despite being the BigBad, she's also this. [[spoiler:She never intended to cause her alternate self to go OmnicidalManiac. She only wanted to help her be more confident and assertive, and that ended up working a little too well.]]
* VillainousRescue: [[spoiler:In the true end Plutia tries to dominate Rei's power after beating it out of Hyperdimension Rei, and was quickly failing and at risk of having their combined power and madness. After Neptune implies she's ready to MercyKill Plutia if she fails, Ultradimension Rei steps in and takes her power back and finally gets control over it.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Thinking back on the good times with the rest of the sages, all that comes up is being ridiculed over and over again. Some of them later admit that, while she was fairly incompetent, being part of her group wasn't all that bad. [[spoiler: This helps explain how even with no followers she was able to control her HDD form and pull off what she did a few tropes down.]]
* WalkingSpoiler: Almost everything about her is this, from her [[TheOlderImmortal being one of the oldest goddesses of the Ultradimension]] to her [[SuperpoweredEvilSide HDD form]] being a tryant who was responsible for [[UsefulNotes/TheGreatVideoGameCrashOf1983 The Great Crash]] that lasted for years until Lowee came along.
* WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises: [[spoiler:Her goddess persona often makes deranged expressions like this.]]
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler: She becomes a murderous tyrant if she obtains a CPU Memory. This is the exact reason why her people rebelled against her.]]
* WorldsStrongestWoman: [[spoiler:Rei is the strongest individual in the Neptunia series, bar none. A Goddesses' power is derived from their followers; the more followers they have, the more power they have. No followers gives the Goddess a power of absolutely zero. Ultradimension Rei managed to put up an impressive showing with no followers at all, while the only Goddess who has a similar amount of experience, Blanc, was reduced to a powerless little girl with no followers. And then Hyperdimesion Rei ''did'' gain followers....oh boy.]]

* BrickJoke: Several chapters, and a bit over 10 years, after the Seven Sages have gotten to show off their [[BossSubtitles special logos]], he finally gets to do his hoping that maybe the [=CPUs=] would show him some mercy because of it. [[ThrowTheDogABone They actually were willing to do so]], [[YankTheDogsChain except for Iris Heart]].
* CallToAgriculture: [[spoiler:In the true end he works for Arfoire on her eggplant farm.]]
* TheChewToy
* ClusterFBomb: A variant. He is foul-mouthed without restraint.
* CornerOfWoe: A variation at the end of chapter 2, when he tries and fails to announce his name and get his own {{Boss Subtitle|s}} to appear. The game has him standing in the corner of the screen, sadly looking down to the ground while the CPU's, at that moment still recovering from [[LargeHam Copypaste's]] [[NoIndoorVoice introduction]], eventually note he looks depressed.
* DubNameChange: Was Warechu (as in ''Warez'') in Japan. His name was retained in ''[=Re;Birth3=]''
* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor: He will jump at the chance to work for the [=CPUs=] if Iris Heart is making the request in order to avoid her wrath, but always goes back to the Seven Sages once he gets away from her. Once Compa grows up he settles for working with the [=CPUs=] to stay near her.
* FragileSpeedster: Unless you've gone out of your way to over level or gear specifically for accuracy expect most of your attacks to never connect. Those that do though bring him down quite quickly compared to most bosses.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: Pirachu became a member of the Seven Sages almost without noticing.
%%* GenreSavvy
* InsistentTerminology: Not [[FantasticSlurs Rat]], not Mouse, ''Pirachu''. No one listens.
* IWarnedYou: [[spoiler: He tried to get Mister Badd to hurry up and just make his announcement so that he (Warechu) could go home because he knew and said as much that the [=CPUs=] would find some way to escape and come after them. While Mister Badd is trying to tell him that it's just impossible, Plutia shows up midsentence.]]
--> '''Warechu''': "Sonofabitch! I -knew- it!"
* KansaiRegionalAccent: His Japanese voice.
* KillerRabbit: Averted. Pirachu's combat abilities aren't that great. He can deal out surprisingly high damage and can be somewhat hard to hit if the team's accuracy is low, but compared to the other Seven Sages he goes down quick.
* {{Mascot}}: Claims to be one of three in the mouse world.
* TheNicknamer: At least to the females in the Seven Sages. Pirachu calls Rei "Mature woman" and Arfoire "Middle-aged lady". The latter...isn't amused.
* NotSoHarmlessVillain: While he was just part of the QuirkyMiniBossSquad in ''mk2'', his Ultradimension version is part of the [[BigBadDuumvirate Seven Sages.]]
* TheRuntAtTheEnd: Compared to the other Seven Sages.
* UselessUsefulSpell: He has the ability to inflict the [[KryptoniteFactor Virus status]]. The only fight against him has the [=CPUs=] locked into HDD, making for a hilarious [[InvertedTrope inversion]] of ContractualBossImmunity.
* VerbalTic: "Chu" in the Japanese version, as the sound of mice.
* VitriolicBestBuds: Whether either will admit it or not, Pirachu and Arfoire actually share this dynamic, and despite their bickering, really are friends, with Pirachu actually willing to stand up to the [=CPUs=] to let Arfoire flee from Plutia. Even the [=CPUs=] were touched by this.
* YouShallNotPass: When Arfoire is trembling uncontrollably in fear of Plutia, Pirachu urges her to escape while he holds back the [=CPUs=]. They're so moved that he was hoping that be able to avoid a fight... too bad for him that Iris Heart isn't that compassionate...

* BoomerangBigot: She thinks a nation run by girls can't be successful. She's a girl herself.
* TheCape: Before joining the Seven Sages, Abness would normally go around the world protecting little girls.
* TheDarkChick: The spokesman of the Seven Sages.
* ElegantGothicLolita
* FriendToAllChildren: Specifically little girls, whose safety she prioritizes over everything else.
* InsaneTrollLogic: Abnes thinks that, because she's on a mission to protect all the little girls in the world, she's always right, and anyone who stands in her way is a "big pedophile" and a "gross fetishist". Naturally, there's something off about her logic.
* HeroAntagonist: [[spoiler:She's just very, very misled.]]
* InsaneTrollLogic: During her introductory scene, she offers this gem of an explanation for her being right:
-->I'm on a mission to protect every child in the whole wide world! That means I am in the right. Therefore, all who oppose me are big pedophiles and gross weirdos.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Since she's the public face of the group [[PlausibleDeniability often getting questioned about what their goals are]], and [[TokenGoodTeammate would object to most of the things they do]], the rest of the Seven Sages leave her out of a lot of the planning.
* MoralGuardians: One of her main issues with the Goddesses is the sort of influence they have on children
* MyCountryRightOrWrong: Defied. She has strong doubts on a system of nations ruled by girls that have become Goddesses, and such joined the Seven Sages.
* NotWhatISignedOnFor: [[spoiler: When she finds out the Seven Sages have been the ones behind all the kidnappings over the last several years she [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere immediately bails]] and [[HeelFaceTurn informs the CPUs of where they'd been keeping the kids.]]]]
* ObviouslyEvil: She wears ''skulls''. [[spoiler: Though it turns out she's not evil.]]
* OlderThanSheLooks
* SkeletonsInTheCoatCloset: Like Rei, she wears skulls on her dress.
* TokenMiniMoe
* ThereWasADoor: Played with. Whenever she appears, she slams open a door, yelling out "Ga-thunk!", even in the Seven Sages' base.
** There's an exception during her NotWhatISignedOnFor moment, where she just comes in like a normal person.
* TheUnfought: She's the only one of the Seven Sages you never fight.

* AgentPeacock: Is male, but considers himself a little girl.
* DeadMansSwitch: He manages to escape the [=CPUs=] by telling them that if he dies all of the embarrassing footage he has of Noire will be released worldwide. As soon as he's safe, he informs them that [[ILied he lied]] about it.
* EffeminateVoice: He has a very flamboyant tone with feminine speech patterns.
* TheEvilGenius: In charge of intelligence.
* TheFaceless: [[TwentyFourHourArmor He never leaves his suit]] so no one has ever seen what he really looks like. [[spoiler: And even when he ''did'', he only appeared as a silhouette, so to the player, he's ''still'' faceless.]]
* FlunkyBoss: He comes with several small robots that [[UnexpectedGameplayChange disable various commands]] until you manage to kill them off.
* HealingFactor[=/=]WeCanRebuildHim: Since only his armor is taking damage, he can repair and upgrade it to return for later battles. He is also the one who repairs Copypaste after he explodes.
* TheHedonist: He just… does what he wants.
* HollywoodHacking: PlayedWith. His hacking of computers is all fairly realistic, [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory having been based on actual events]], all he had to do was observe and record Noire while she worked to gain access to Lastation's network. However he can also apparently hack people to observe and [[FakeMemories rewrite their memories]].
* ItAmusedMe: If it's fun, he'll do it. This is more or less his only reason for having joined the Seven Sages.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler:In the end, the [=CPUs=] never get to properly pummel him for what he's done to [[BrainwashedAndCrazy Peashy]].]]
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: Anony'''death'''.
** Consider the group Anonymous and his entire name could count.
* NonActionBigBad: It is confirmed that Anonydeath seldom fights openly.
** Though he does mention he can configure himself to a more combat oriented role, however doing so would cause him to lose his current suit's slim figure.
* PoweredArmor: That looks like an Eva.
* PrettyBoy: [[spoiler:Outside his armor, Anonydeath is apparently ''very'' cute, enough to make pretty much every Goddess in the Basilicom comment on it, and Noire having to snap them out of it by [[AmbiguouslyGay reminding them it's a man]].]]
* ReformedButRejected: [[spoiler:In the true end he found a way to reverse the failed CPU transformations, yet is still considered a creep.]]
* {{Troll}}: Quite possibly the only reason Anonydeath would alter Copypaste's personality as he did and ''then'' pair him up with Arfoire, [[spoiler:and give Rei the task of being Peashy's "mother"]]. This side of him also shows through in his reactions with Noire.
* VillainousCrush: On Noire.

[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/136905_486.png]]
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: He gains powers by copying software.
** PowerupLetdown: …However, since his abilities are low, he can only copy old ROM cartridges.
* TheBrute: He's the self-proclaimed strongest amongst the Seven Sages, but his intelligence is horrible.
* DefeatEqualsExplosion
* DubNameChange: From Copilyace to Copypaste.
* DumbMuscle: Apparently not too bright, especially when compared to the other Seven Sages.
** SophisticatedAsHell: [[spoiler:A variation. After being repaired from his first defeat, Copypaste begins to talk in a proper manner...while he still destroys things.]]
* {{Expy}}: Of [[VideoGame/BlazBlue Ragna the Bloodedge]] Hell, they're both voiced by the same guy.
* GlassCannon: [[spoiler:After being rebuilt by Lowee, Blanc admits that they rushed it and just redid his shell with paper-mache, so he wouldn't last in a fight anymore.]]
* HeadPet: After being rebuilt he has a tendency to do this with smaller characters. [[spoiler: Specifically after being rebuilt in Lowee. Histoire, Ram, and Rom all get this treatment. Only the twins enjoy it.]]
* HealingFactor / WeCanRebuildHim: As mentioned in Anonydeath's section. Since he is a machine he can be repaired.
* HeelFaceDoorSlam: [[spoiler: Due to his change in personality after his initial repairs, he starts to get along with the citizens of Lowee when they show him how to destroy things in a helpful manner. While they're in the middle of convincing him to leave the Seven Sages Blanc shows up to make him pay for damages done to Lowee and [[WhatTheHellHero kills him despite everyone's protest]]. Then it gets {{Subverted}} a couple chapters later. Lowee had him rebuilt during the 10 year TimeSkip and he has been working for Blanc since.]]
* HumongousMecha: Resembles something straight out of Getter Robo.
* LargeHam: He's so loud and boisterous that his self-introduction briefly deafens the [=CPUs=] so they can't hear Pirachu's attempt to display his own name.
* SpikesOfVillainy
* TankGoodness: Well, his lower half anyway

* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: After being beaten, Plutia and Blanc (in their HDD forms) torture a confession out of him to be televised. After Blanc mentions that she's done, Plutia informs everyone that she's going to keep toying with him however she wants. This prompts a BigNo and him begging for anyone to come save him from her.]]
* TheAtoner: [[spoiler:Genuinely comes to regret what he did to the failed [=CPU=] children-turned-monsters and goes out his way to care for them like they were really his children, even to the point he starts researching a way to turn them back and eventually abandons the Seven Sages for their sake]].
* BatmanGambit: [[spoiler:He reveals to the Goddesses that the monsters he uses to fight them (and calls his daughters) are actually children who failed to become [=CPUs=]. It's heavily hinted he FORCEFULLY did this to them, and when he reveals this to them, he fully expects they'd be unwilling to harm the children and would have to leave, thus sparing his life.]]
* CompositeCharacter: Has a similar role in this game to Ganache and Yvoire from the first game, he even spends some time as nothing but a silhouette while working with the Seven Sages.
* DubNameChange: From Akudaijin to Mr. Badd.
* EveryoneCallsHimBarkeep: 'Mr. Badd' is an alias.
* EvilGenius: Considering he had a NearVillainVictory moment and the only thing he didn't count on [[spoiler: was a fourth CPU present at that time, the Seven Sages could have won as early as ''chapter 3''.]]
* EvilOldFolks: Well, he's more of middle-aged man, but he counts anyways.
%%* {{Gonk}}: Yep.
* [[IJustWantToHaveFriends I Just Want To Have A Family]]: [[spoiler:His wife died when he was a young man, and he eventually began to see failed [=CPUs=] as his children, to the point he started researching a way to reverse their transformation]].
* GratuitousJapanese: During one scene.
-->'''Mr. Badd:''' Kanpai.
* MiniMecha: As he's just an ordinary human, he uses one to fight the [=CPUs=]. It looks rather like a combination of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Dr. Eggman]] and some carnival ride.
* NearVillainVictory: [[spoiler: Thanks to his scheming, Lowee fell when Plutia, Noire and Neptune defeated Blanc on live TV; this defeat stripped Blanc of all her goddess's powers and reverted her to a powerless girl due to the loss of faith from the civilians, thus ridding Lowee of its CPU. He also subsequently imprisoned her along with the other 3 [=CPUs=], leaving their countries vulnerable and defenseless against the Seven Sages. Unfortunately, not knowing Vert existed was the only flaw in his plan. Without her, he would've won.]]
* NobodyTouchesTheHair: Due to him suffering from some hair loss, he doesn't like people messing with his hair. Of the tortures Blanc and Plutia put him through the only one he mentions beyond being kicked in the spleen is that they're plucking his hairs out one by one and begs them to stop.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: He's a fairly realistic middle-aged man in a cast of mostly cute anime girls that had kept human males before him in silhouettes.
* ObviouslyEvil: In the localization, Akudaijin is named "Mister Badd". Yes. You read right. Of course, in Japanese "Akudaijin" is also not exactly ''subtle''.[[note]]His name is written in katakana (アクダイジーン ''Akudaijīn''), so the intended meaning is ambiguous. The most likely option is "悪/Aku" (evil) + "大臣/daijin" (minister) = "Evil minister". "Dai" and "jin" can also be "great/big" and "person", respectively (大人). "悪大人/Akudaijin/Great evil person".[[/note]]
* PapaWolf / PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Despite being a member of the organization that is turning children into monsters, he ''does'' seem to care for his daughters, enjoying spending time with them and gets furious when anyone insults or lays a hand on them. He was even researching a way to turn them back to human form.]]
* ProtectedByAChild: [[spoiler:Those weird monsters that are often around him? They're failed [=CPUs=]]].
* ScaryShinyGlasses: Played straight in his official art. You can't even see his eyes.
** TheGlassesComeOff: Whenever you fight against him.
* SharpDressedMan: You have to admit, that suit looks awesome on him.
* TreacherousAdvisor: [[spoiler: For Blanc]]
* TheOneGuy: The first non-silhouetted human male character in the entire franchise.
* TrueBeautyIsOnTheInside: Played with. Mr. Badd sees as beautiful what is generally considered ugly by society. However, he just has a…different aesthetic sense.
* XanatosSpeedChess: Egg the goddesses on into fighting each other, then televise the battle. [[spoiler: If Blanc wins, that's two nations fallen. If Blanc loses, the others are likely to be exhausted and capturable taking out all three nations. Noire herself points out a third result, and pushes for it herself, that being showing Iris Heart to the world would potentially take out Planeptune. [[XanatosGambit Any way it could've conceivably unfolded, he wins.]]]] When that all falls apart on him, and they try to pull the same tactic on him, he quickly tries to prevent further losses by [[spoiler: [[BatmanGambit banking on the fact that the others wouldn't throw away Blanc]] just to publicly ruin him. Even when that backfires by them reempowering Blanc and restoring her goddess abilities with ThePowerOfFriendship (literally) he reveals that he had diverted some of Lowee's budget into building a mech to fight them.]]

* {{Blackmail}}: Try to do this towards the [=CPUs=] by offering to give them their Share powers back for 100 million credits. [[spoiler:Fortunately, the Gold Third arrive to help before they can give in and help them ''take'' their powers back.]]
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: In the true ending route, he saves both Neptunes, Nepgear, and Uzume from a horde of monsters with his battleship.]]
* BrainwashedAndCrazy: [[spoiler:When he refuses to give Kurome the last piece of her console, she drives him mad with Negative Energy for his upcoming fight the [=CPU=]s.]]
* EvilIsPetty: His MoneyFetish is already bad enough, but later on, he reveals that he spends it on merchandise of busty blondes. Cue Nepgear lampshading this trope.
* EvilGenius: Despite his fearsome appearance, he's quite an intellectual person.
* {{Fetish}}: For [[BuxomIsBetter busty blondes]]. Considering one of the [=CPUs=] is one in her human form...[[spoiler:in fact, Histoire bought his loyalty by giving him photos and merchandise of Vert ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial which was all totally officially from Leanbox]])]].
* FromNobodyToNightmare: He's a ''blogger'', yet he becomes an accomplice in rewriting reality. Though this might be justified given that his words can influence public opinion, which affects Shares and Negative Energy.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He and Steamax eventually shifted their focus from gossip to royalty collecting, and they also aided the [=CPUs=] in the Heartdimension arc]]
* ISurrenderSuckers: After the [=CPU=]s beat him down the first time, he reveals he just did it to drop their guard so he could hit them with his PowerNullifier sword. [[spoiler:It takes Gold Third giving them the power of their NEXT forms to come back from it]].
* ItsNotYouItsMyEnemies: [[spoiler:He fires Steamax so that he won't have to fight the [=CPUs=], especially Uni. Though Steamax decides to guard Affimojas anyways when he realizes this.]]
* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:He knows he's no match for the [=CPU=]s and is prepared to die fighting them. Kurome, however, brainwashes him to do so anyways to protect the last piece of her console]].
* LargeAndInCharge: He towers over all his subordinates in [=AffimaX=].
* LargeHam: His dub voice is Creator/JamiesonPrice after all.
* {{Microtransactions}}: The personification of this.
* MoneyFetish: Even moreso than B-Sha. Noire is surprised with his justifications.
-->'''Noire:''' P-profits? Could it be... did you just change the world so you could make some money?!
** [[spoiler:He later reveals that all that money is channeled toward buying photos and figures of the aforementioned busty blond fetish, which surprises Nepgear even more.]]
* ObviouslyEvil: How could a big spiky robot like that possibly be a good guy? [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceTurn Except he eventually turns into one]]]].
* {{Otaku}}: [[spoiler:Reveals himself to be one along with Steamax, collecting figurines and doujinshis about his main fetish, [[BuxomIsBetter busty blondes]]. Eventually, he reveals that his money fetish tendencies are also only there to secure him the funds he needed for his Otaku hobbies. After the true ending, in a scene he is seen admiring the quality of a figurine of Vert.]]
* PowerNullifier: [[spoiler:He has a gem embedded in his greatsword that utilizes Negative Energy, which he uses to cripple the [=CPU=]s. It takes Gold Third giving them the power of their [[NextTierPowerUp NEXT forms]] to overcome it]].
* ShipperOnDeck: He supports Steamax getting with Uni, [[spoiler:to the point he releases him from his service to prevent him from having to fight her]].
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He's more or less playing the similar role as Akudaijin/Mr. Badd from ''Victory''.
* VillainousBreakdown: As he's overwhelmed [[spoiler:by the power of the [[NextTierPowerUp NEXT Forms]]]], his dialogue quickly starts degenerating into angrily and fruitlessly cursing the [=CPUs=].
* WarForFunAndProfit: Averted. While he likes gaining profit, he has no interest in outright conflict. He instead prefers methods such as espionage to obtain his goals.

-->''"My only lord is General Affimojas. I will not follow any order except for the General's."''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Ichitaro Ai (Japanese), Chris Cason (English)
A founding member of Affimojas' organization, he is one of its key members and is in charge of covert operations, usually doing some PR spin in Gamindustri. While he is an antagonist, his sense of nobility has him aid the main characters at times.
----
* {{Angrish}}: When Purple Heart starts flirting with him, he can only let out gibberish, and his last "line" before fainting from overstimulation is random shapes and asterisks.
* AntiVillain: Despite the fact that he's an antagonist, he has a sense of honor towards the [=CPUs=]. The best example is when he brings Neptune, Compa and IF to the central of Planeptune to stop the rampage of Monster!Warechu and B-Sha, then distracting the former to buy them time to stop the latter, all this ''immediately'' after he just fought them to steal the Swirl Console.
* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: In the Hyperdimension route of Heart Dimension arc, he manages to steal the console away from Kurome.]]
* CannotTalkToWomen: Hinted at in his first appearance during the Zero Dimension arc. During her route in the Hyperdimension G arc, Purple Heart takes advantage of this and makes him so flustered that he faints.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: [[spoiler:He manages to snatch the Swirl Console right out of Kurome's hands.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: He's first seen during Neptune's Hyperdimension interlude during the Zero Dimension arc, buying some books for Affimojas.
* TheDragon: To Affimojas.
* {{Fetish}}: Like Affimojas, he has a thing for busty blondes, though after befriending Uni, he ends up preferring black-haired twin-tailed [[{{Tsundere}} Tsunderes]] instead.
* FuumaShuriken: He always carrying his detachable shuriken whenever he's going.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: He turns a little earlier than Affimojas, offering to help the [=CPUs=] with dealing with the dark aura in the Hyperdimension G arc.]]
* HiddenInPlainSight: He proudly states that one of his best traits is "not standing out in a crowd". Only Uni's apparently ever seen him when he's actively doing so, [[spoiler:and this comes in handy when he needs to get the drop on Kurome while she's fighting CPU Candidates and Gold Third]].
* KatanasAreJustBetter: He uses Ninjato to similar effect
* MistakenForGay: When Uni catches him with a bikini magazine, he quickly switches it out, only to realize that he switched it with a magazine full of hunky men. It's cleared up later when she realizes he has a crush on ''her''.
* {{Ninja}}: A [[NInjaPirateZombieRobot robot ninja]], at that! Several characters squeal over how cool he is.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Planeptune is under attack
* {{Otaku}}: [[spoiler:Reveals himself to be one along with Affimojas, often carrying his orders to purchase doujinshis and enjoys them as much as Affimojas do, he is also shy around girls to the point of communication deficiencies like a stereotypical Otaku. Generally, his scenes when he is alone with Affimojas sounds completely like an Otaku sitcom.]]
* PornStash: Uses this to distract Purple Heart, IF and Compa. The result is ''hilarious''.
* StealthExpert: So good in fact, when he puts in the effort only Uni can find him out.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: He plays the similar role like Anonydeath, this time with Uni. Unlike Anonydeath, he's more capable of defending himself.
** He also counts as one to Brave, who is also a robot that befriends Uni.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Affimojas, to the point that [[spoiler:he returns to their airship to pull a YouShallNotPass on the [=CPUs=] even after his general fired him to keep him out the conflict.]]
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Despite being a fairly large robot, he apparently has a low profile that leads to most people not noticing him. Uni, however, finds this implausible.
* VerbalTic: "~de gozaru" in the Japanese version, a humbling copula for samurai and ninja.
* VillainousFriendship: With Affimojas, who befriended him when they were kids and shared the same perverted hobby. [[spoiler:Later, both drop the villainous part.]]

* VillainDecay: Superdimension Arfoire is the calm and calculating BigBad, and Hyperdimension Arfoire is a full-on EldritchAbomination. Ultradimension Arfoire, however, was only ever portrayed as a threat when Neptune and Noire couldn't transform, and mostly becomes a joke afterward, especially with the trauma from Iris Heart and resorting to sentient eggplants against Neptune.

This is all well and good until she realizes she needs to be Maho specifically to make full use of the IS Crystal and her DemonicPossession ability requires the death of her host before she can move on. The only ways to kill her would be another [=CPU=] or a weapon specifically designed to do so, such as the Gehaburn. The Maho with her is unwilling to kill her own sister and Gray Sister has informed the [=CPUs=] of how her power works so they won't go for the kill, leading to a race between the two groups to get the Gehaburn first.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiakiTakahashi (Japanese), Creator/LauraPost (English)

The primary antagonist of the franchise. Like the CPUs, she's had several different incarnations.
!!General Tropes
* BigBad: She's the main antagonist of the original game, ''mk2'', their remakes, and ''Sisters vs Sisters''.
* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: The personification of this. Her Japanese name "Magiquone" is a play on "Magicon", the name used for flash carts for the ''UsefulNotes/NintendoDS'', while her localized name "Arfoire" is a play on the popular flash cart R4. Flash carts for the DS are cartridges that can be easily loaded with downloaded games and other applications and used in a plug-and-play fashion. There are even {{mooks}} throughout the game named after DS flash carts, such as R4, M3, and DSTT, complete with drops of "Illegal" hardware and software.

* HotWitch: Her primary form is a witch-like being with a revealing outfit.
* RedEyesTakeWarning: She has red eyes and serves a constant threat throughout the series.

!!Superdimension Arfoire (Hyperdimension Neptunia/[=Re;Birth1=]
* AnnoyingLaugh: Not opinionated, the characters [[LampshadeHanging in game]] find Arfoire's laugh to be annoying and it's the way she announces herself half the time!
* AssimilationBackfire: The first time she uses her PowerCopying turns it into a double-edged sword, when she accidentally copied Compa and suffered a severe de-powering and minor personality change because of it. Unfortunately it turns out keeping powers is voluntary. [[spoiler:This also applies to copying the original Goddess's powers, which drove her insane.]]
* BeautyEqualsGoodness: [[spoiler:Just compare how she looks when she's a villain to how she looks [[http://imgur.com/sMHdrAV after Neptune reformed her in True End]]...]]
%%* BladeOnAStick
* DirtyCoward: Arfoire is more likely to send an accomplice in to do battle than actually fight Neptune and company herself — even using machines that jam items and abilities so she gains the upper hand. Justified, as Arfoire is not particularly powerful and spends the game in a constant power contest with Neptune's growing party. When she picks a fight, it's only because she thinks she can win.
* DubNameChange: From Magiquone to Arfoire.
* EvilIsHammy: She sure is hammy in an evil way.
* EvilLaugh: Of the very obnoxious kind.
* FallenHero: [[spoiler:Arfoire was originally a hero who helped the other 4 in fighting the old Goddess, then after the Goddess is defeated (with the other 4 heroes perished in the process), Arfoire copied her power and use that to create the current 4 goddesses, and help raising them with Histoire until she was driven insane by the original Goddess' insanity.]]
* HeroicWillpower: [[spoiler:And even then, she held out against the corruption for ''centuries'' before finally succumbing and causing trouble only a few years before the start of the game.]]
* ILied: Late in the game, Arfoire defeats your party again. Every single character tells Neptune to make a break for it, as Arfoire is obviously after her goddess power. Neptune decides to give up her power instead, as Arfoire promises not to harm the others if she gives up her power. And after Neptune's power is stolen, Arfoire retracts her promise, stating that GoodIsDumb. [[spoiler:Fortunately IF and Compa manage to steal the tome Arfoire is carrying which contains Histoire, and they manage to successfully escape.]]
* TheMinionMaster: [[spoiler:Arfoire created the Enemy Discs, and can use them as well as leave them in dungeons to attack the player. Worse still, she can create [[EvilKnockoff fake CPUs]] like in chapter 7. She isn't this during battle though.]]
* MasterOfDisguise: Her "Copy" powers can be used to mimic others' appearances and mannerisms completely [[spoiler:like when she posed as Blanc to take over Lowee]].
* NiceJobFixingItVillain:
** Avenir is a very good front for her... when she's not trying to run it. [[spoiler:Forcing the CPU Breaker to be deployed [[UnfinishedUntestedUsedAnyway before it was done with testing]] completely cripples Avenir's stranglehold on Lastation.]]
** Convincing the goddesses to gang up on Purple Heart and cast her out of Celestia turned out to be [[ForWantOfANail the nail that set into motion the chain of events that ended in her downfall]], as it allowed Neptune to befriend the other [=CPUs=] and uniting them against Arfoire.
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Before going nuts, she shared this role with Histoire to the four goddesses.]]
* PowerCopying: Arfoire's specialty. She absorbs the abilities of anyone she targets and then can replicate them perfectly, [[spoiler:even right down to transforming into their Goddess forms.]] Even worse, if the power is retrieved, Arfoire still maintains a copy that she can alter to her whims.
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:In the True End, Neptune is able to successfully save her from her corruption and bring her home to give her a chance to redeem herself.]]
* TreacherousAdvisor: Arfoire plays this role to the Goddesses while in Celestia. This is the reason why they cast Neptune from Celestia, as opposed to the first game, where it was decided on a whim.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:Unlike the original game's Arfoire, who was the original Goddess, this Arfoire was originally a human who had copied the original Goddess's power while assisting a group of heroes. Unfortunately her madness was copied as well, and eventually changed Arfoire into what she is in game.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:Deity of Sin Arfoire]]

The object of worship for the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime (ASIC). Arfoire is likened to a false idol in comparison to [=CPUs=], being their equal in terms of power and capable of using Shares to her advantage. The [=CFWs=] are all aspects of her, and her primary goal is Gamindustri's destruction. She is the personification of Digital Piracy ([[DigitalPiracyIsEvil is evil]]).
----
* ArchEnemy: Considers Nepgear as this in all endings, being her greatest obstacle in destroying the world.
* BladeOnAStick: Her weapon in her true form is a spear with a large, dual-edged red blade on both of its ends.
* DemonicPossession: The Deity of Sin manifests by possessing objects as her vessel. She even boasts that she is limited by neither time or physical body.
* DigitalPiracyIsEvil: The personification of this.
* DubNameChange: She is known as Magiquone in Japan, which is their equivalent of the R4 (Arfoire). Her incomplete form is called Magiquone the Hard (Criminal of Free World Arfoire in English), while her true form is Hanzaishin Magiquone (Deity of Sin Arfoire).
* EldritchAbomination: Compared to the first game's Arfoire or Ultradimension Arfoire, Deity of Sin is a ''very'' different entity. Being destruction incarnate, she manifests physically by possessing things, and thus is nearly impossible to destroy permanently. When manifesting incompletely she takes the form of a hideous, gigantic monster that looks more like a LivingStatue than human.
** HumanoidAbomination: Her complete manifestation manages to hit this, seeing as it looks quite beautiful for a monstrous goddess.
* EvilSoundsDeep: She has a much more hauntingly low voice here compared to past and future portrayals.
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: She only exists to destroy everything.
* InvincibleVillain: Pretty much what can sum her up. Not only she has no physical form, all she does when her vessel is destroyed is to migrate to another vessel. She is only sealed because the [=CPUs=] of the previous generation sacrificed themselves to bind Arfoire into the Gamindustri Graveyard. [[spoiler:It takes the combined Shares of ''all'' the goddesses on one CPU to destroy her for good.]]
* LoadBearingBoss: Due to being [[GeniusLoci one with the Gamindustri Graveyard]].
* TheOlderImmortal: One of the, if not ''the'' oldest being in the franchise.
* OmnicidalManiac: She has no goal beyond [[EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt destroying Gamindustri as we know it]].
* PiecesOfGod: The Criminals of Free World (Magic, Judge, Brave and Trick) are all aspects of her. [[spoiler:This means their defeat only serve to accelerate Arfoire's revival.]]
* RedBaron: "Hanzaishin" (literally "Crime God" in Japan). In the dub it's changed into "Deity of Sin"
* ReusedCharacterDesign: Her CFW Arfoire form is later used for Overlord Momus in ''[[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaReBirth1 Re;Birth1]]''. Her Deity of Sin form is also used for various monsters throughout the franchise as well as [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Ultradimension Arfoire]]. Meanwhile, both of her forms are later reused as transformations for her [[VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII Zerodimension]] incarnation, [[spoiler:which turns out to be a copy of the original Deity of Sin]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Arfoire was sealed by the [=CPUs=] of previous generation, led by Uranus, Neptune's predecessor.
* TakingYouWithMe: [[spoiler:What she attempts to do toward Nepgear in all endings except the Conquest Ending]].
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: [[spoiler:Delivers this to Nepgear in the Conquest Ending, haunting her with implications that Nepgear has ensured Gamindustri's destruction instead of prevented it.]]
* TheUnreveal: It is not known whether the Deity of Sin has a witch-like form similar to the other incarnations of Arfoire. [[spoiler:[[VideoGame/MegadimensionNeptuniaVII Megadimension]] later confirms that she does have one, because the Arfoire in that game is created from the {{Big Bad}}'s memory of the Deity of Sin.]]

* ArtificialStupidity: Arfoire will typically fixate on killing a single party member before moving on to another, that unfortunate character appears to be randomly chosen though the English version seems to put a slight preference toward Neptune.
* BerserkButton: Neptune's mere name is enough to annoy the hell out of Arfoire; the connection between the old world and the different world of the other dimension hasn't helped at all. Also getting called old.
* BigBadWannabe: In a first for the series, Arfoire is ''not'' the true threat, in spite of her efforts to the contrary. [[spoiler:That honor would go to Rei, or at least the [[DrunkWithPower HDD form]] of ''both'' Reis]].
* CallToAgriculture: [[spoiler:In the true end she's the owner of an eggplant farm.]]
* TheChewToy: Becomes this due to the below-mentioned VillainDecay. Nothing really works out for her to go smoothly as she planned, from being partnered up with Copypaste [[spoiler: whose personality was rewritten by [[TheHedonist Anonydeath]] to spew out friendship speeches]] to getting [[spoiler: traumatized by [[HeroicComedicSociopath Iris Heart]], even in her dreams.]] To rub further salt to the wound, her battle theme during her [[DuelBoss fight with Neptune]] is a remixed version of the first game's ''Gamindustri's Comic Relief''.
* ChristmasCake: Called this by Pirachu. Somehow, this convinces her that she perhaps belongs to the Seven Sages.
* CompositeCharacter: She's a combination of the first game's Arfoire and ''mk2'''s Underling.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: [[spoiler: She has these after what Iris Heart does to her.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: [[spoiler: Somewhat. She disapproves of the plan to kidnap children and everything that comes of it, but she goes along with it anyway.]]
* HeartIsAnAwesomePower: [[spoiler: After figuring out that Neptune is highly disturbed by eggplants she goes out of her way to get the powers of eggplants. [[CrazyEnoughToWork It actually works for her for awhile]], until she goes so far as to take on the form of a giant winged eggplant at which point Neptune just finds the situation so [[CrossesTheLineTwice completely absurd that it just stops phasing her]].]]
* HopelessBossFight: In your first fight against her with Neptune and Noire, before either of them became [=CPUs=].
** In a NewGamePlus you can win the fight, though the rewards aren't that great and the story assumes you lost still.
* IWorkAlone: She dislikes collaborating with others…
** VillainTeamUp: …But she likes the idea of the Seven Sages pushing aside the Goddesses, so she joins them.
* ObviouslyEvil: Aside from the fact that she's dressed like a witch, the players have ''seen'' Arfoire before, from the original game, so they know she's evil. Which makes it surprising that [[spoiler: she's not the main villain this time.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: She never gets to act on it, but when she finally leaves the Seven Sages she comments on how she's always wanted "to destroy all". Pirachu points out how that and the way she's speaking make no sense.
* ToThePain: She threatens to tear out Pirachu's organs and feed them to piranhas while making him watch while he dies.
%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
* ShapeshifterBaggage: She dislikes taking her strongest form due to [[VainSorceress how hideous it is]]. Noire also points out the more realistic problem, that it makes her a [[ClippedWingAngel massive target]].
* SparedByTheAdaptation: [[spoiler:She is the first Arfoire to make it through a game alive, and with a relatively happy ending to boot.]]
* VillainDecay: Becomes less and less threatening in every confrontation. To the point where she [[spoiler:runs away without even fighting you]] and then [[spoiler:fuses with an eggplant only to be beaten by Neptune while the latter was alone.]] Compared to the previous Arfoire(s), this one really fails to measure up.
* VillainousBSOD: [[spoiler:Iris Heart punishes her for kidnapping IF by whipping her so thoroughly that she's reducing to gibberish and giggles with a blank face. She continues to have nightmares about it for years.]]
* VitriolicBestBuds: Whether either will admit it or not, Pirachu and Arfoire actually share this dynamic, and despite their bickering, really are friends, with Pirachu actually willing to stand up to the [=CPUs=] to let Arfoire flee from Plutia. Even the [=CPUs=] were touched by this.

!!Zerodimension Arfoire (VII)
[[quoteright:230:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/576349f9313f97a36273fce0e8c4b65b.jpg]]

-->''"My name is Arfoire... a name that will signal your demise, and ring the bell of destruction for this hopeless world!"''
-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChiakiTakahashi (Japanese), Creator/LauraPost (English)

A woman dressed like a witch, met in the Zerodimension by Neptune, Nepgear and Uzume. Everything about her is shrouded in mystery except for her goal of plunging the world into destruction.
----
* AlasPoorVillain: [[spoiler:When she's killed off again in the Heartdimension, she goes out pitifully begging Kurome to save her from disappearing. Adult Neptune, who she'd been trying to kill at the time, solemnly bids her farewell while saying her name properly for the first time.]]
* AintTooProudToBeg: When she's defeated by Nepgear, Uzume and Adult Neptune, Arfoire doesn't waste any time in begging for mercy from Uzume (who is the CPU of the ruined nation that they were fighting in) by saying that CPU's should treat prisoners "according to the law!". Uzume doesn't listen, outright stating that as the only CPU in Zero Dimension, she ''is'' the law and that if she wants to pummel her, she damn well will.
* ArchEnemy: As in previous games, she is this towards Neptune and her companions. Both Neptune and Nepgear [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] this towards Uzume and the [[NoFourthWall audience]].
--> '''Uzume:''' ...She an acquintance or what...?
--> '''Neptune:''' Honestly, she's like one of those annoying relatives you don't like too much because she's always criticizing or picking fights with you. Ahem. Let me explain to those in the audience new to the series! We've fought this here old boss lady character called Arfoire like a billion times [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptunia in]] [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMk2 the]] [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory older games]] and [[Anime/HyperdimensionNeptuniaTheAnimation anime releases]]! She's so boring! I seriously don't even wanna look at Arsnore right now. She's not about to make us enter a boss fight, is she? Ugh, I'm so over it...
--> '''Nepgear:''' Sis, maybe you should be less meta in explaining it, so the players get a more immersive, believable experience. But in our world, Arfoire[[note]]as the Deity of Sin[[/note]] should have perished, [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory and in the other dimension, I thought she had reformed completely]], which means that this Arfoire must be different from the ones we've seen.
* ArcVillain: Of the Zero Dimension Z arc.
* BackFromTheDead: She dies at the end of the Zero Dimension Z arc, but is shown alive and well in the Hyper Dimension G. [[spoiler:That's because this Arfoire is a [[FightingAShadow creation]] of Kurome, who can remake her as many times as necessary so long as she had enough energy to do so]].
* BerserkButton: Both Neptunes get on her nerves with their inability to say her name right, to the point that she sheds TearsOfJoy and nearly lets Nepgear pass her without a fight just for being the first person to properly pronounce it.
* TheDragon: [[spoiler:To her creator Kurome.]]
* FightingAShadow: [[spoiler:She's not the real Arfoire, but a copy created from Kurome's memories of the Deity of Sin. Even her death doesn't stop Kurome from just making a new one]].
* FlatWhat: When Adult Neptune says she is gonna put Arfoire, now in her OneWingedAngel form, in her bug book, all she can squeeze out is a bewildered "what?".
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:She does this with Dark Purple and whatever is left of Rei Ryght's power near the end of the Zerodimension arc.]]
* GenericDoomsdayVillain: While she does more personality than the average villain of this attitude (being both EvilIsHammy and exasperated at how no one takes her seriously), her ultimate motivation boils down to being an OmnicidalManiac who wants to kill Uzume and destroy the Zero Dimension, and doesn't even seem to register that doing this would end up with her destroyed either. It's not even that [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum she knows and welcomes it]], but she just flat-out ignores it when anyone brings it up. [[spoiler:Justified since she's nothing more than Kurome's recollection of Arfoire as the Deity of Sin, who was a more straightforward example of this trope.]]
* IgnoredEnemy: When Adult Neptune gets introduced, everyone is so stunned by it that they completely forget Arfoire is even there, much to her annoyance.
* ItsWhatIDo: She frequently declares her intent to destroy all [=CPUs=] and the world, but when asked how the latter could possibly benefit her, she scoffs at the idea of needing a motive. It's just what she does. [[spoiler:She's based on Kurome's memory of the Deity of Sin, who also defined her reason for existence as simply destroying everything.]]
* OmnicidalManiac: She states that she knows no other purpose than destroying the world, even if it means she too is destroyed. [[spoiler:This version of Arfoire is based on Kurome's memories of the Deity of Sin, who she encountered once a long time ago - thus this Arfoire's generic personality.]]
* PowerNullifier: [[spoiler:Using Negative Energy, she can block the power of Shares, which allows her to get the advantage on Uzume and company near the climax of the Zerodimension arc. It takes drawing shares from both the monsters of the Zerodimension ''and'' shares from Hyperdimension's Planeptune to overpower her]].
* ReusedCharacterDesign: This Arfoire can transform into the OneWingedAngel forms of the previous game's Arfoire, specifically the [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaMkII Deity of Sin's]], something which both Nepgear and Uni comment on. Ironically, the Deity of Sin's first form has been reused before for [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaRebirth1 Overlord Momus]], while its second form has been reused by [[VideoGame/HyperdimensionNeptuniaVictory Ultradimension Arfoire]]. However unlike the previous Arfoires, this trope is justified since [[spoiler:this incarnation is just a copy of the Deity of Sin from Kurome's memories]].
* SealedEvilInACan: Briefly subjected to this inside of Adult Neptune's Nep-Note, though she breaks out thanks to [[DoesNotLikeSpam eating all the food Adult Nep, Uzume, and Umio didn't like]] to regain enough strength to force her way out, though she decides [[KnowWhenToFoldEm beat a tactical retreat]] to avoid recapture.
* SmugSnake: While she has her moments, this version of Arfoire is not much of a schemer.
* TearsOfJoy: Thanks to the RunningGag of people getting her name wrong, she's surprisingly thankful when Nepgear gets her name right, though not enough to spare her of course.
* UndyingLoyalty: Unusually for Arfoire, she has this towards [[spoiler:Kurome]]. Which makes sense, [[spoiler:since she's literally a creation of Kurome]].
* VillainsWantMercy: After being defeated by Uzume, Nepgear, and Adult Neptune, she tries to plead for leniency by claiming the law protects those who have surrendered and can't fight back. Uzume angrily answers back that as the only CPU of the Zero Dimension, [[IAmTheNoun she is the law]] and if she wants to beat her to death, it very much is allowed. She's only spared because Adult Neptune wanted to keep her in her Nep-Note.
* WithGreatPowerComesGreatInsanity: [[spoiler:Borrowing some of Rei's power from Croire seems to take a toll on her mind, not caring if she gets caught up in the newly revived Dark Purple's assault so long as she kills the [=CPUs=].]]
