Episode 30: Judgment in the Gamindustri Graveyard

Goodness, I’m so excited! We actually get something done today!
It’s a bit scary that we made progress.



Yes, everyone’s accounted for.
The Gamindustri Graveyard… What a bleak, solemn place.
You think? It looks kinda cool to me. It’s definitely a villain’s HQ. I see a lot of weird monsters, too.
Scary.
It’s okay, Rom. Just hold my hand. Not too tight though, or I’ll scream.
My sister’s in here somewhere.
Okay, everyone get their commentary in? We’re going to the place where we saw the CPUs last.
Do you know where to go?
Why, yes! We ran away from there.
Don’t remind me about that fiasco. I can’t even try to spin it positively.

That big black thing was pretty crazy.
Scary…

Yeeeeek! Please calm down, CFW Judge, sir!
That’s reckless endangerment, chump. I’ll sue you and get your weapon taken away.
At this rate, I truly might die from boredom. Very well, you two will do. Be my opponents or die while begging!
N-No way, we can’t do that, sir! We’re not worthy to be your opponents.
You should fight him, Underling, chump. You’re only good at physical labor.
Damn you! I’ll feed you arsenic one of these days! Why’re you pushing all this on me!? It’s not even physical labor!
Haaaaah…haaaaaah… I can’t stand it anymore. I’ll just kill everyone!
Wait! Wait a sec, you just asked us to be your opponents and you’re already threatening to kill ‘everyone’!?
That’s why I didn’t want to do this. Taking care of CFW Judge is the bottom of the underling barrel, chump.
That’s the one! That’s the enemy who nearly killed us. Looks like an argument’s brewing.
Mister Mouse and Miss Underling look like they’re in hot water.
Whoa, hey, the moron sorority! Am I glad to see you brats… How about you switch with us?
Oh, my sweet Compa! You truly are my guardian angel. Please save me, chump!
They talk like we’re old friends.
Jeez, they’re like a creepy neighbor you never want to run into outside. We’re not obligated to help them.
Obligated or not, we have to defeat this towering villain before us, no?

I was pretty scared even with all our new friends, I mean he’d defeated us so easily before.



Hey, don’t try to start a pity party now, of all times.
That’s not what I mean. We lost to him before, so…
Uh, hello? Was I there to fight alongside you when that happened? I didn’t think so.
The snooty chick’s right. If we were here, you wouldn’t have lost.
We can win, Miss Nepgear.
If you’re ever feeling scared, I’ll encourage you with a song.
You’re a strong sidekick, Nepgear. I say that as the superheroine and your trusted ally, so it must be the truth!
Gust is good judge of character. I’d never join someone who would cause more loss than profit.
Everyone…?
Ge-Ge, it would be rude if you let down all your friends, don’t you think?
Stand up straight, jeez. Even now you’re completely helpless. I told you not to hunch over so much while reading.
Y-Yes, Miss IF!
White Disc: It appears she’s made up her mind.
Black Disc: Now is the time to render our support.
Green Disc: Go for it. Defeat whatever evil stands in your path.
Purple Disc: Take our powers…

You were really cool, Miss Nepgear.
Tch, I could do that.



Thank you. I know I can do it. I can take down this villain!
Excuse me, when’re you gonna stop with your monologue!? Could you please just frickin’ beat ‘em up already!?
CFW Judge, sir, chump! A new enemy has come to fight you. It’s a CPU Candidate!
Hrm? A Console Patron Unit…Candidate? Graaaah! The prey I let escape before!
Mwahahahaha. I have not forgotten that humiliation and I never will. I promise that I will tear you apart this time!

I knew we could never lose to a jerk like this.
Still, it was tough.

Boss Battle: CFW Judge
Judge is kind of an asshole in this fight. He favors large single hits that strike a large area. He has a really, really bad habit of taking out anyone at all fragile right as the fight starts, as you see in the video. He’s also got a powerful cutscene attack he’ll do when his health gets low, which you should watch out for. Nepgear’s new Celestial Severence skill will tear down quite a bit of his health, and you should do that instead of trying to set up for Superior Angels because it’s just too hard to reach the AP needed on everyone this early in the game. As long as you’ve got items to get people back up if they’re smashed by an errant blow this isn’t that bad.

It was pretty awesome when that big dumb robot exploded, though!
Boom.

I reject this reality! I will never accept this! Graaaaaaah!
Are you kidding me!? CFW Judge was destroyed!?
I can’t believe it, chump! This has gotta be a nightmare!
Dumbass, we gotta face reality, here. Anyway, let’s go report on this or something. C’mon, c’mon!
Oh my goodness, we won! We were really able to beat him!
Of course we did. We wouldn’t lose to the same idiot twice in a row.
I think we were amazing. Before, we were having a hard time just running away, but now we beat him up!
We can squeal and celebrate later. Nepgear, use the Sharicite.
Right!
…
…
…
…
You look like you’re in so much pain…
Sis…
C’mon, hurry up already!
Yeah. Just wait one more moment for me, Neptune. I’m here to save you.

Are we the best? Because I’m pretty sure we’re the best.



Th-This light…
My body feels like it’s recovering…
I can move. Are we free now?
Blanc!
Sis!
Rom, Ram… You two saved me? Really?
Waaaah! Blanc!
Waaah!
Stop crying like babies, will ya? I’m sorry for making you worry.
W-Well…
Really, Uni, you’re so late. You should’ve saved me at least two months earlier.
I-I’m sorry, I’m just not as good as you…
Don’t apologize to me. I guess you do look like you’ve grown. Thanks. I owe you a lunch or something.
Noire…thank you!
Nepgear? Gosh, did I miss your face…
You’re…really my sister, right? I really managed to help you, right?
Am I me? Don’t be silly. You did more than help, you saved my life. Thanks. I bet you worked really hard.

It’s so lame that Nepgear got so much attention.
B-But, it is Miss Nepgear’s game, Ram.



I’m sorry I left you alone for so long. But you know what? I’ll always be with you from now on.
This touching reunion would bring even the most hardened heart to tears.
Aww, I want to talk to Nep-Nep too…
Let the sisters have their moment. We should leave ‘em alone for a bit.
Oh dear, I envy all of you. I don’t have a sister to welcome me back.
I’ll welcome you back, Lady Vert. It just so happens that Chika is very anxious to see you home safe.
CPUs are all back. Last piece of business is…
Yep. It’s time to exterminate the pests we call ASIC.

I-I’m kind of worried, though. I think that Judge guy was really kind of weak.



Kekeke, he was the weakest and loudest of us Four Felons.
How shameful to be destroyed by lowly CPU Candidates. It shames our title of Criminals of the Free World.
The letch is one to talk. Didn’t you have to flee from that pack of little girls first?
It isn’t as though I lost! I just couldn’t bear having to damage the skin of those nubile maidens…
I admit I had to retreat once. This does not, however, mean that I was defeated.
Hmph. The dam has burst. The torrent is unstoppable.
Kekeke. The revival of our goddess is just around the corner.
It seems our time is nigh.
All is for our queen… All is for the Deity of Sin.

We’ve still got to deal with the creep, the guy with the sword, and that lady.



The Deity of Sin’s revival coincided with the rescue of the candidates’ sisters.
Standing between Nepgear and the Deity of Sin are the formidable leaders of ASIC, the Four Felons.
Next time, Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Chapter 5: Approaching Shadows.

Oh, how tough could they be?
Goodness, that was a silly thing to say. Next time on Hypderdimension Neptunia, Mark 2: Approaching Shadows! At least we have the right title this time!
