 * Apocalypse How: The Zero Dimension arc has Neptune and Nepgear visit a place that has gone through a Class Three level event, teetering on the borders of a Class Four. And unlike the events of the first three games or the anime, where the worst that could happen would a Class Two event that would still leave possible survivors, the end game has Class X-5 level event looming over the heads of everyone, with not only the Hyperdimension under a very real threat of total Cessation of Existence,.
