OVA
Description
Magiquone serves as the Japanese name for the character localized as Arfoire. She functions as a recurring antagonist across multiple dimensions, with each incarnation typically sharing core personality traits centered on piracy, destruction, and hammy, theatrical villainy. Her names derive from piracy-related devices: "Magiquone" references "Magicon" (Japanese for game backup devices), while "Arfoire" alludes to the R4 flash cart for Nintendo DS. She embodies the concept of digital piracy and illegal game copying, her actions frequently aimed at stealing Share Energy and causing chaos in Gamindustri. Her primary motivation remains consistent as an omnicidal maniac seeking to conquer or destroy Gamindustri, though methods and backstories vary.
In the Super Dimension, she originated as Gamindustri's sole goddess. She later requested Histoire to create four new goddesses to govern the land, splitting it into four regions. After this division, she turned against Histoire and the new goddesses, seeking to reclaim total control, displaying a calm and calculating demeanor. An alternative *Re;Birth1* backstory reimagined her as a human who assisted the original goddesses. After their deaths, she used their power to create clones that became the current CPUs, corrupting her sanity due to the overwhelming power. In the *Re;Birth1* true ending, Neptune rescued her from corruption, reverting her to a purified form named Pure Arfoire who reconciled with Histoire and the CPUs.
Within the Hyper Dimension, she became known as the Deity of Sin (Hanzaishin), an entity embodying pure concentrated evil and negative emotions. This form lacked a true physical body, requiring vessels like Warechu or spider-like constructs. Her revival was orchestrated by the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime (ASIC), who manipulated citizens into worshiping her to gather energy. After resurrection, she created the Four Felons as lieutenants and vessels, intending to fuse with the Gamindustri Graveyard to amplify her power. Defeated initially by Nepgear channeling collective faith, this version later reappeared in *Sisters vs Sisters* and *Megadimension Neptunia VII*, fusing with Dark Purple and remnants of Rei Ryghts' power before being sealed or destroyed.
The Ultra Dimension incarnation exhibited significant villain decay. While retaining her antagonist role, she frequently suffered comedic defeats, particularly after traumatic encounters with Iris Heart. Her schemes included creating sentient eggplants to torment Neptune, and her personality incorporated rage-induced outbursts when called an "old hag." This version survived her game appearance without permanent defeat.
In the Zero Dimension, she manifested as a recreation based on Kurome's memories of the Hyper Dimension's Deity of Sin. Lacking a full history or independent existence, she served Kurome's orders to kill CPUs and destroy the dimension. This version demonstrated acausality, retaining memories unaffected by history rewrites. She utilized multiple transformations, including Deity of Sin and True Deity of Sin forms, and fused with Dark Purple using power stolen from Rei Ryghts. Kurome could recreate her whenever destroyed due to her nature as a memory construct.
Outside main dimensions, she appeared as a club antagonist in *Gakuen Game Neptune: Katsudou Diary*. Establishing the "Shadow Gaministrators" to oppose the official Game Club, she employed tactics like summoning zombie armies and kidnapping CPU Candidates to seize a clubroom, displaying typical hamminess and theatrical villainy.
Her appearance features a base humanoid form resembling a witch, characterized by a revealing outfit and red eyes. She undergoes dramatic physical transformations when assuming powered states, most notably into the Deity of Sin—a monstrous entity with multiple vessel designs including a spider-like body, a bunny-like divine being, and an incorporeal essence of negative emotions. Her One-Winged Angel forms are frequently repurposed for other characters. True Deity of Sin represents a further evolution.
Personality-wise, she consistently exhibits hammy, over-the-top villainy punctuated by a signature laugh ("Haaaaaah ha ha ha ha ha!"). Key berserk buttons include Neptune's existence, mispronunciations of her name, and references to her age. Dimension-specific traits emerge: Hyper Dimension's Deity of Sin lacks sentience beyond destruction; Ultra Dimension displays comedic ineptitude and rage; Zero Dimension combines omnicidal intent with exasperation at being underestimated. Her relationships are primarily adversarial, with particular enmity directed at Neptune and the CPUs.
Her abilities include magic, flight, summoning minions, life manipulation, barrier creation, and transformation between forms. As the Deity of Sin, she gains additional powers such as virus infliction (corrupting monsters into "viral" variants), poison manipulation, creation and resurrection of entities like the Four Felons, environmental destruction through seismic activity, and abstract existence as an amalgamation of negative emotions requiring overpowered will to defeat. Resistances span deconstruction, memory manipulation, elemental attacks, extreme heat, and vibration-based durability negation. Zero Dimension iterations retain these powers while adding existence erasure and space-time manipulation resistances.
