Neptunia: Game Maker R:Evolution OST - Lideo's Theme
Summary
Lideo (リディオ, Ridio), alternatively named Ridio in the soundtrack, and called Reedio in the English version, is one of the protagonists of Neptunia: Game Maker R:Evolution. She is one of the three Failure Goddesses who competed against the First Makers in a battle for Shares, which she and the two other Failure Goddesses ultimately lost, dooming them to obscurity. However, after being stumbled upon by a dimension traveling Neptune, she and the other Failure Goddesses were able to repair their reputation under a new company called "Victory".
Lideo is the programmer and graphics designer for the company Victory. She is described as a mad scientist who makes brazen and "nasty" comments about other whilst retaining a ditzy smile on her face. She often likes to be called "Professor", and is no stranger to attempting to perform experiments in her search for new experiences. She is also a bit self-centered, believing herself to be the most sensible individual in the world despite her experimental craze.
Lideo is the personification of the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer console, a console that was doomed to fail, being unable to compete in the console market due to its high price and extreme competition with Sony and SEGA.

Powers and Abilities:
- Superhuman Physical Characteristics
- Masterful Magic User
- Share Energy Manipulation (General Abilities and Goddess-exclusive Abilities)
- Transformation (Through the phenomenon of Hard Drive Divinity, Lideo is able to transform into her Goddess Form)
- Immortality (Types 1, 4, and 8 - Goddesses have been stated[1] and shown not to age physically,[2] even when drained of most of their power.[3] As long as a Goddess has Share Energy to pull from, whether it's from a Share Crystal or from their own body, they won't die, even if forgotten by the world[4] or if left with very little power. Goddesses are capable of resurrecting through the acquisition of Share Energy, occurring within the span of at least a minute, if they have lost their Shares and ceased to exist[5])
- Extrasensory Perception (Energy Sensing, Emotion Sensing - When learning why they could not transform in Zero Dimension, Nepgear states that she could not feel their Shares, and when attempted to by Neptune, she too could not feel their Shares; Lideo should be similar to them in this regard, as she is a Goddess just like them. Goddesses and Candidates alike are able to sense sources of Share Energy from far distances,[6] and can also sense Negative Energy.[7] Similar to Uni, who was unable to sense any malicious intentions from CFW Brave the first time they met each other[8])
- Sealing (Sealed Zaikopath and put the beast to slumber once more[9])
- Flight (Restricted Flight - Within battle, Lideo is shown to be hovering above the ground at all times, and Buster Blaster shows she can keep herself high in the air by floating)
- Darkness Manipulation (Lideo's "Shadow Orbs" state that they seal shadow itself within them, and that a single touch can drag one down into the darkness[10])
- Elemental Manipulation (Lideo is capable of using several elements as part of her attacks[11])
- Fire Manipulation (Upper Trail has Lideo approach the enemy at high speeds before flinging flaming orbs upwards; Burn Sphere has Lideo throw out a blazing tornado at the enemy; Exploding Sphere is an explosive fire orb that Lideo launches at the enemy[11])
- Ice Manipulation (Ice Trail has Lideo freeze her orbs and launch them in a circle, and Frozen Sphere is an attack that uses frozen orbs to blow away the enemy[11])
- Lightning Manipulation (Electro Sphere is a barrage of electrified orbs thrown at the enemy, and Division Dynamo sees Lideo calling upon several lightning strikes to attack the enemy[11])
- Wind Manipulation (Wind Bubbles, an attack that uses the Wind element, has Lideo create a tornado and attack the enemy with wind pressure, and Megis Cutter is an attack where Lideo creates several blades of wind from magic circles[11])
- Statistics Reduction (Needle Trap is an attack where Lideo sets up a trap that lowers the enemy's speed when they touch it[11])
- Statistics Amplification (Magic Prompt both attacks the enemy and raises allies' physical and elemental attack stat[11])
- Poison Manipulation (Chemical Pit sees Lideo creating a small area that poisons any enemy that is within its radius[11])
- Damage Boost (With "Combo Power+", Lideo's damage increases when performing a string of attacks)
- Teleportation (Shown to have the ability to teleport in Game Maker R:Evolution, which she can use multiple times without repercussion.[11] Additionally, in Buster Blaster, Lideo teleports high into the sky before attacking the enemy)
- Forcefield Generation (When a character performs a guard in Game Maker R:Evolution, it generates a polyhedronal forcefield that covers their body which reduces the damage received from attacks by a significant amount, making it so attacks that dealt damage in the hundreds now only deal damage in the low tens[11])
All Resistances granted from Share Energy, in addition to:
- Extreme Heat (Can handle traversing through large, highly heated caves, such as the Rediode Cave, which is located in a volcano. Can withstand attacks from Nepgear's swords, which are noted to be extremely hot, made of lasers, said to be capable of reaching insanely high temperatures, or are capable of slicing through steel and alloys like butter. She is also capable of withstanding the plasma attacks from Nepgear's Gear Slash, and Uni's Solar Burn)
- Life Force Absorption, Soul Manipulation, and Power Absorption (Can withstand the effects of Zaikopath's attacks, which drains the victim of their life force and traps their soul within the main body of Zaikopath, putting their body in a constant state of slumber that they cannot wake up or recover from until Zaikopath is defeated. Zaikopath can also steal the power of those that are attacked by it, weakening them to a state where they can barely fight, and was able to prevent the Gold Third from using their Gold Forms[12])
- Elemental Manipulation (Frequently battles and takes attacks from characters whom possess attacks with the elements of Fire, Ice, Wind, Lightning, Light, Darkness, Earth, and Water, and remains largely unaffected)
- Absolute Zero (Capable of withstanding Ram's Sword of Zero attack, which creates a domain of absolute zero temperatures to drain the enemy's life)
All previous abilities on an enhanced scale, in addition to: Flight (True Flight), Light Manipulation (When a Goddess transforms, they emit a bright light that can be seen from faraway locations[13])
Attack Potency: Low Multiverse level, possibly Complex Multiverse level (Defeated the four Gold Third fakes, whom were all using their Gold Forms, and seriously injured F-Sha before she could escape. Supposedly shredded the Copy Clique Trio "down to the tiniest scraps" during a follow-up brawl in the game world[14]) | Low Multiverse level (Defeated Gold Form S-Sha in their one-on-one Makers Duel.[15] Defeated the main body of Zaikopath, which is much more powerful than its clones, which could overwhelm the Gold Third and heavily exhaust F-Sha in battle[12]), higher with Share levels (As a user of the Goddess Form, Lideo should be capable of growing stronger with higher Share levels, as the Goddess Form is more powerful with more Shares), possibly Complex Multiverse level
Speed: FTL combat speed (Capable of keeping pace with Game Maker's C-Sha, whom was able to keep pace with Ultra Dimension Neptune without using the Gold Form) | FTL combat speed (Faster than her Human Form; can keep up with the Gold Third using their Gold Forms, as well as Zaikopath and Zaiquone)
Lifting Strength: Class 25 (Comparable in strength to Ultra Dimension Neptune) | At least Class 25 (Stronger than her Human Form)
Striking Strength: Low Multiverse level, possibly Complex Multiverse level | Low Multiverse level, higher with Share levels, possibly Complex Multiverse level
Durability: Low Multiverse level, possibly Complex Multiverse level (Can withstand attacks from the fake Gold Third copies, whom were able to seriously injure F-Sha, and most likely would have killed her[14]) | Low Multiverse level (Withstood hits from Gold Form S-Sha[15] and later, withstood attacks from Zaikopath[12] and Zaiquone[9]), higher with Share levels, possibly Complex Multiverse level
Stamina: Superhuman
Range: Standard Melee Range to Extended Melee Range with close-ranged attacks such as Spinning Formula, Bubble Force, and Trail Dash, Tens of Meters to Hundreds of Meters with her other magic attacks
Standard Equipment: A various assortment of triple orbs, armors, and her Processor Unit
Intelligence: Genius (Lideo, as a scientist and a programmer, has shown her expertise in various different fields. Seemingly adept in automotive development, as after Neptune broke Lideo's bike in the Prologue,[5] she stated that the bike was "under the knife" and undergoing maintanence, with Jarga saying that it undoubtedly means some modifications will occur as well.[16] At Pipi's request, Lideo created a device that teleports anyone whom walks through a specific door into a dungeon.[15] Supposedly partakes in neurosurgery, as she humored the idea of experimenting on Pipi's brain to give it the creative spark she wants, with Pipi responding in a frightened manner, saying to "hurry before she starts picking at my brain". Lideo is the creator of the "Mr. Immersion Pro MAX" virtual reality device, which she describes to be an "evolution" of VR gaming that would allow the user to be transported into the game world by quantizing the user's body and consciousness. Additionally, to save everyone trapped within the game world due to the device, she developed a nullification disc that would send out periodic signals to reverse the quantum entanglement. During their search for the "parent device" of the Mr. Immersion headset, Lideo prepared and created a device that would allow them to locate the headset through the electromagnetic waves it gives off. As they attempted to use the parent device, Lideo was able to disarm the trap set up at the device to allow them to enter the game world.[14] Her first weapon, "Lideo's Orbs", states in its description that she herself made them, with these orbs being the catalyst for a myriad of Lideo's magical attacks, including her EXE Drive, Buster Blaster. An adept fighter in battle, Lideo is capable of fighting against skilled adversaries such as S-Sha,[15] the[17] Goddess[18] Candidates[19] - known as the Second Sisters in Game Maker R:Evolution's dimension - and fake copies of Purple Heart and Green Heart,[20] as well as Black Heart and White Heart[21])
Weaknesses: Her Share Energy is able to be cancelled out with large amounts of Negative Energy.
