B-Sha

	“	But I won't run anymore. And I no longer need this mask. To hide the fact that I was scared, I wore a mask and pretended to be a hero. But no matter how long I kept the mask on, or how much golden power I carried, nothing matters unless I change myself! So, as a first step towards change, I'm not running away from you!	„

Megadimension Neptunia VII OST - Providence

Summary

B-Sha (ビーシャ, Bīsha) is a member of the Gold Third, a legend of Gamindustri's history, and is the Gold Third of Planeptune. Alongside her partners C-Sha, K-Sha, and S-Sha, they form the Gold Third.

B-Sha is a bright, peppy, and innocent girl who, despite being a member of the Gold Third, once housed an irrational fear of monsters. Her hobbies include collecting toy robots and action figures, but she's quite greedy as she often tries to collect money from any person she saves who isn't a child. She fights evil for the sake of children everywhere as a masked hero named "Presto Mask", and though she doesn't realize it, all of the citizens know it's her.

B-Sha was once attacked by a monster as a young child, and since then, had developed a severe trauma for monsters, which is shown through how she ran away from Haneda City once she saw one of the monsters that attacked it. She has had constant nightmares as a result of her trauma. She believed that joining the Gold Third would help ease this trauma, but it failed, and it wasn't until the end of the Planeptune Story in the second arc of Megadimension Neptunia VII where she finally faced her fears and could fight monsters regularly.

B-Sha is the personification of the gaming company BANDAI NAMCO.

  • Panacea: Fully recovers the user from all of the above.

Intelligence: Above Average, but acts like a ditz at times, with decent combat experience (While B-Sha is the least experienced of the Gold Third, she is still well-versed in her own right, being able to take on Nepgear and IF in battle, with the latter complimenting that she is still as skilled as she was when she was ruling over Planeptune)

Weaknesses: Her Gold Crystal can be destroyed, albeit it resides in the Golden Summit, so destroying it would require one to enter the Summit. She has an irrational fear of monsters, but this is largely resolved by the end of the second arc of Neptunia VII.

Notable Attacks/Techniques:

• Gold Form: A transformation that allows B-Sha to utilize a power comparable to that of the HDD Goddesses. This transformation gives her a few extra parts to her outfit.
• Sharing Field: By using a Share Crystal, B-Sha creates a temporary pocket dimension which is able to contain and weaken the powers of whoever is trapped inside it. However, this can only work if she has a Share Crystal with her.

• Bazooka Rapid Fire
• B-Sha Kick
• Golden Warrior Bandam
• Golden Warrior Bandam (Variation)

1/4

• Bazooka Rapid Fire: "I'll scatter high-power, high-range warheads."
• B-Sha Kick: "A special kick filled with the power of justice."
• Golden Warrior Bandam: B-Sha's EXE Drive. Description: "Let me explain! Bandam is a mobile weapon developed in secret by A-Company! A shrewd business robot that powers up with microtransactions!"
  • Note: This attack becomes more powerful when B-Sha is in the Gold Form (see the variation animation for the added part).
