Megadimension Neptunia VII/Awesome

• The intro FMV for each part of the game is appropriately jaw dropping.
• In the first part of the game, we get to meet Uzume Tennouboshi, whose intro scene doubles as an Establishing Character Moment that makes clear she's a Fiery Redheaded Hot Blooded Badass.
• Neptune's love of Breaking the Fourth Wall becomes awesome when she WEAPONIZES this to allow herself, Uzume, and Nepgear to utilize share energy from MONSTERS to transform when Arfoire shatters a Share Crystal they needed to do it before.
• Arfoire Took a Level in Badass. How much you ask? Well, she became so pants shittingly terrifying that Croire of all people, pulled an IMMEDIATE Heel Face Turn because it was quite obvious Arfoire was dead serious about wiping out EVERYTHING.
• In the second part, everyone in Planeptune save FOUR people forget about Neptune's existence. Histoire, who is immune to the Mind Wipe thanks to Ripple-Effect-Proof Memory, and more awesomely, neither Compa, Takanashi Pro the 3rd nor the Neptune Fan Club President have this advantage but still manage to resist by Heroic Willpower alone. To put the awesome in proper context the mind wipe effect was so powerful it affected all of Gamindustri in a single moment and was so powerful (to Cosmic Retcon levels) the goddesses had to gain back their name recognition the hard way with everyone else save the Gold Third, who were rendered immune due to the source of mind wipe using them as the trigger, and even after getting back their recognition the mind wipe was still blunting their powers up until the very moment it ended.
• The second arc introduces the Gold Third, who proceed to wipe the floor with the CPUs. It gets more amazing when you consider they honestly didn't expect to win at all.
• Each of the Gold Third get at least one chance to be badass in each sub-arc of the second part of the game.
  • B-Sha manages to shed her fear of monsters completely without help, and the only reason she becomes an enemy at any point was due to Kurome's forcibly applying Mind Rape, she otherwise was the only member of the Gold Third to resist fighting any of the CPUs during her sub arc of her own will.
  • C-Sha proves to have a metric ton of Heroic Willpower. By herself, with at most maybe one brief pep talk by Financier she manages to hold back a Harbinger of Impending Doom. To add to that, she was tortured more than once while doing so and still held out.
  • K-Sha's awesome doesn't immediately register, until you think back to when Noire almost got killed in the beginning. That was HER who sniped what was gonna kill Noire from an impressive distance, NOT Uni.
  • S-Sha's awesome crosses over with some Heartwarming because, while her plans were misguided, she was so willing to do what it took to save E-Sha she was willing to become a total monster with a ton of blood on her hands if necessary, simply because she felt she had to. And it only gets more awesome and heartwarming when E-Sha finally gets her to stop, because until that point she couldn't muster that same level of willpower to stop S-Sha even though it had to be done.
