Megadimension Neptunia VII OST: Encounter of Destiny
Summary[]
The Dark CPUs (ダーク女神/ダークメガミ, Dāku Megami) are five of the antagonists in Megadimension Neptunia VII and the destined enemies of Uzume who has been fighting them alone for a very long time. One of their most notable characteristics is their gigantic size that towers over any other giant monster in the franchise.
They appeared suddenly and began destroying the Zero Dimension. The destruction brought by the Dark CPUs isn't only physical, but also ends up erasing space itself. Therefore, wherever the Dark CPU appear even the land completely disappears into nothingness.
The only way to defeat them is to trap them within a Sharing Field, which Uzume can create with enough share energy, otherwise they are invincible and impossible to fight.
In MegaTagmension Blanc + Neptune VS Zombies, the Dark CPUs (except Dark Orange) can be fought as giant bosses in Multi Mode. Each of the four appear in a 5-star quest.

Powers and Abilities:
Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Flight, Immortality (Type 8, likely type 1; Kurome can endlessly recreate her as much as she wants to. Similarly to other goddesses, they should likely be incapable of aging or dying from it.), Beyond-Dimensional Physiology (As with all other entities in the Neptunia series, her existence is beyond the concept of numerical dimensionality, as all beings evolved alongside Gamindustri into beyond dimensional existences), Acausality (Types 1, 3, and 4; Like other characters she is immune to changes in the past, as even normal citizens kept their memories after Hyper Dimension's history was rewritten. It's explained by Histoire that time and causality splits people's past and future into multiple timelines to protect them from paradoxes and causal changes), Inorganic Physiology (Type 2; is an artificial being created from Kurome's negative energy), Large Size (Type 11; Is beyond the concept of numerical dimensionality), Existence Erasure, Space-Time Manipulation (The attacks of Dark CPUs seemed to rip apart the fabric of space and time itself according to Nepgear and are directly stated by the Nepedia to erase things from existence.), Energy Manipulation, Energy Projection, Electricity Manipulation (Some attacks of Dark CPUs give off purple lightning), Fire Manipulation (Some attacks from Dark CPUs give off flames), Explosion Manipulation (Some Dark CPU attacks are shown to give off explosions in cutscenes)
All prior powers in addition to Rei's powers (Since Arfoire stole Rei's power from Croire before fusing with Dark Purple) and Arfoire's powers

All powers of their complete self on an enhanced scale
Attack Potency: Outerverse level (Superior to Uzume and are able to gravely wound her with singular attacks outside the Sharing Field) | Outerverse level (Stronger than before, has the power of Rei Ryghts) | Outerverse level (An individual complete Dark CPU when not weakened by the Sharing Field has the power of one of the Next Forms) | Outerverse level (Has the capabilities of the four complete Dark CPUs combined) | Outerverse level (Stronger than their completed selves, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves) | Outerverse level (Stronger than standard EX Dark CPUs, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves)
Speed: Irrelevant (Her sheer existence is beyond the concept of numerical dimensionality and by extension she and her speed cannot be defined by the speed formula. Should be at least comparable to Orange Heart, whom they can keep up with in combat) | Irrelevant (Faster than before) | Irrelevant (Has the capabilities of a Next Form) | Irrelevant (Has the capabilities of the four complete Dark CPUs combined) | Irrelevant (Likely faster than their completed selves, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves) | Irrelevant (Likely faster than regular EX Dark CPUs, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves)
Lifting Strength: Irrelevant (Should be at least comparable to Orange Heart, whom they are superior to in combat) | Irrelevant (Has the powers of Rei) | Irrelevant (A complete Dark CPU has the power of a Next Form, which is far superior to Prime HDD Rei) | Irrelevant (Has the capabilities of the four complete Dark CPUs combined) | Irrelevant (Stronger than their completed selves, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves) | Irrelevant (Stronger than regular EX Dark CPUs, unknown relation in comparison to their fused selves)
Striking Strength: Outerversal | Outerversal | Outerversal | Outerversal | Outerversal | Outerversal
Durability: Outerverse level (Outside of the Sharing Field, Uzume's attacks that don't have Share Energy can't scratch them and attacks with it barely leave a dent. In the Sharing Field, where they are immensely weakened, they still can take many hits from Uzume and the other CPUs) | Outerverse level | Outerverse level | Outerverse level | Outerverse level
Stamina: Unknown, but likely extremely high (The Dark CPUs, while never appearing for too long a period of time, should likely be comparable to the regular CPUs they are based on, whom can fight for thousands of generations to eons without rest, showing no sign of tiring)
Range: Irrelevant | Irrelevant (Before fusing with Dark Purple, Arfoire stole Rei's powers from Croire, and should likely have her range) | Irrelevant (Should have the same range as the Next Forms) | Same as before | Same as before | Same as before
Standard Equipment: None notable
Intelligence: Unknown, likely Average (The Dark CPUs, while being completely artificial in nature, have some level of sentience [having shown emotions], have the capacity to speak, and are quite capable in combat against the like of the regular CPUs), far higher when fused with Arfoire (When fused, Arfoire is the one completely in control, and she is capable of tricking other characters like the CPUs and IF)
Weaknesses: If they're contained in a Sharing Field, they are weakened immensely due to having a weakness to Share Energy that is usually mitigated by their large size. With the exception of Dark Purple, all of the Dark CPUs' ultimate attacks require their weapons that are attached to them to be intact to preform. When fused, their first weakness is partially negated due to the sheer amount of negative energy they have, however, a powered up Sharing Field such as one using the core of Heart Dimension to contain them still works.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
- Truth Atoning Lies: An attack in which she slaps her hand towards the the target(s) before sweeping it back, causing damage and knocking back the target(s)
- Fist of Grudges: She punches the target(s) once with each hand, causing damage and knocking back the target(s)
- Containment of Gods: She crushes the target(s) by crushing them between her hands.
- Light of Eternal Grudges: She cups her hands at her sides before firing off a large purple energy beam that sweeps across the area from them
- Flower Bloom of Chaos: She goes up into the air before coming back down and slamming her target(s)
- Brilliance of the End: She flies up into the air and charges an orb of dark red energy before raising it above her head, causing it to expand. She then throws it down towards the ground, causing a large purple explosion that dwarfs large chunks of land. This is Dark Purple's strongest attack.
Key: Incomplete | Dark Purple (fused with Arfoire) | Completed | Dark Purple (fused with the other Dark CPUs) | EX Dark CPUs | Dark Purple EX-II
- Note 1: I don't have much knowledge of Neptunia related material that lacks many translations, such as Mega Miracle Force, so if anyone could inform me of any notable information from sources such as that, it would be appreciated if you could inform me about it either in the comments here, or on my wall.
Feel free to inform me via any means you can about any additional things I may have forgotten to include on this page.- Note 1.5: My profiles for the series also lacks info from several games that I haven't gotten information from, be it having not completed the game, not having gotten around to watching a playthrough due to being unable to play it myself, etc. A compilation of the most notable games that I lack info on will be listed at the bottom of my user page.
- Note 2: To see the deal with the cosmology and why the ratings are as such, please look at the verse page, which explains it in the 'Explanations' section
- Note 3: This page covers all of the Dark CPUs (except Dark Orange, whom can be found here), as I personally don't feel they all have enough to warrant each having their own page separate from each-other
