Line 12:

Not actually a character per se, but still deserving of mention. Prinnies are exploding demon penguins who talk like [[Main/Surfer Dudes|Surfer Doods]] which serve as the primary labor force of the Netherworld (Though they exist in Celestia as well and are treated better there). Etna keeps a squadron of Prinnies with her at all times. In fandom, they have been upheld by fans as the unofficial mascots of the franchise, a position since adopted by the developers, [[Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?|leading to their own spinoff game]]. All Prinnies contain the souls of sinners and criminals and, as such, are designated by the [[Powers That Be]] as the [[Butt Monkey|Butt Monkeys]] of the universe.

Tropes associated with prinnies:

Line 61:

* [[Our Giants Are Bigger]]: In his traditional Tyrant form, his sprite will almost always tower over everything in the game. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ipiNa7nqFXw&t=0m58s Case in point...]

** Exemplified in ''Prinny 2'', where he's the biggest enemy in the game!

* ''[[Physical God]]''

* [[Power Levels]]: The lowest level he's ever been at was 2000, during his [[La Pucelle]] incarnation. Later titles made his default level 4000.

* [[Killer Rabbit]]: Not always, but always taken to the logical extreme when he is. Level 9999^23 ''prinny'', anyone?

Line 67:

* [[Multiversal Conqueror]]

* [[Serial Escalation]]: Baal takes the concept of the overpowered Bonus Boss. Progressively more so in each installment.

* [[The Speechless]]: With the exception of [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]], [[Visible Silence]] and battle grunts are his only form of communication.

* [[The Speechless]]: With the exception of [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]], [[Visible Silence]] and battle grunts are his only form of communication.

* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: His appearance as DLC in Disgaea3 has appear at Evil Academy applying for a job.

* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: In all his appearances, his attacks all consist of summoning giant swords.

Line 88:

The intended heroine of Nippon Ichi's next game following ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', Asagi's game was dropped after Zetta defeated her and she has become a vagrant [[Bonus Boss]] in all [[Nippon Ichi]] games since, wandering from game to game in the attempt of plugging her own disowned game or trying to commit hostile takeovers to put herself in the main character spot.

Tropes Associated with Asagi:

Line 105:

* [[Guns Akimbo]]

* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Her Japanese voice actor switches with almost every appearance. Among those voice actors include [[Kana Ueda]], [[Chiwa Saitou]], and [[Kaori Mizuhashi]].

** Her English voice actor is [[Wendee Lee]] in all except two of her appearances. [[Lara Jill Miller]] provides her voice in [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]] and [[Laura Bailey]] provides her voice in [[Disgaea Infinite]].

** Her English voice actor is [[Wendee Lee]] in all except two of her appearances. [[Lara Jill Miller]] provides her voice in [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice]] and [[Laura Bailey]] provides her voice in [[Disgaea Infinite]].

* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: She figures if she can beat the main characters of the various games, she'll prove herself worthy of being a main character. Unfortunately, the inverse also holds - if she's gotten beaten seven times by a ''Prinny''...

* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: Happens to her in Disgaea 4. That game uses HD sprites by default, but Asagi doesn't have one, and looks decidedly odd next to the other characters. An HD Asagi is free DLC, however.

* [[Non-Standard Character Design]]: Happens to her in Disgaea 4. That game uses HD sprites by default, but Asagi doesn't have one, and looks decidedly odd next to the other characters. An HD Asagi is free DLC, however.

** Also in Disgaea 2, where she retained her original sprite from [[Makai Kingdom]], causing her to look distinctly chibi-ish compared to everyone else in the game. Both cases are [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded to hell and back]].

* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Her fur-trimmed jacket in some of the games.

Line 113:

* [[Throw the Dog a Bone]]: The ending to Asagi Wars in Prinny 2. {{spoiler|She is reincarnated for her [[Heroic Sacrifice]] as a Prinny and becomes the biggest idol in the Netherworld}}.

* [[Weapon of Choice]]: She's most commonly portrayed with a pair of handguns, but she's been known to supplement her arsenal with a bazooka and a [[Epic Flail|flail whose head is as big as she is]].

** The other two weapons originated from [[Makai Kingdom]], the game in which she made her debut.

* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]

Line 125:

* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Moreso in art that may or may not be canon. While it's by the original artist, but doesn't quite fit with the canon, although eating Usagi isn't exactly very nice.

** When recruited as [[DLC]] in ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]], Mao is scared of her or rather her legion of fans.

** As is Adell when recruited as [[DLC]] in the [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]''. She is considered in the game as invincible as simply touching her would enrage the fanbase.

** Adell also appears to be a member of the fanbase.

*** In the [[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]] manga, after leaving Laharl's employ after the fiasco with Etna, she's seen working at Netherworld City Hall, where Etna heads to try and get a title change to Overlord. When the title switch fails due to her not meeting any criteria, Etna contemplates trying to blackmail Pleinair, and we get this gem, which gets Etna to back down very quickly:

{{quote|Pleinair: How would you like to die socially? I'll delete you from all public records.}}

* [[Cute Mute]]: She actually did get a voice in her DLC in [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]] and [[Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten]], but it's incredibly low. You'll have to turn off the BGM just to hear it.

* [[Game Breaker]]: She has incredibly high dodging and hitting numbers. The latter also goes well with her high gun skills (since their damage is calculated by hit stats more than attack stats).

** In the first game, she can even become a [[Disc One Nuke]], if you get the [[New Game+]] at the earliest opportunity.

Line 150:

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Large Ham]]

* [[The Other Darrin]]: Their voice actors are constantly changing. It's actually explained in-universe in ''[[Disgaea Infinite]]'' that the Prism Rangers often die and the producers <s>search for</s> kidnap possible candidates.

* [[Running Gag]]: That's not enough colours for a rainbow!

* [[Shout-Out]]: [[Super Sentai|Guess to what.]]
