Disgaea/Characters: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

=== Characters for specific games: ===

 

=== Characters that appear in multiple games in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series: ===

* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: Their standard attack is slicing at the opponent multiple times for multiple hits. Because of this, they don't always do very much damage to the opponent unless properly leveled and equipped.

* [[The Ditz]]: With some exceptions, Prinnies seem to lose a lot of IQ points upon becoming one.

* [[Fastball Special]]: They blow up upon impact (but can easily get better).

* [[Immortal Life Is Cheap]]: Since "reviving" a prinny involves little more than stuffing them into a new prinny suit, it's impossibly cheap (1 HL) to bring back even the strongest prinny -- which is partly why their bosses have no issue with abusing them to their hearts content.

* [[Mascot Mook]]

* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]

* [[Player Mooks]]

* [[Series Mascot]]

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: When they are thrown.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: In Japanese, it's tagging a "-su" at the end of sentences, as a slangy version of 'Desu'. In the English dubs, they replaced that with saying "dood" at the end of sentences.

{{quote| '''Valvatorez''': Prinny Rule No.1! A Prinny must include the word "dood" in every line they say!}}

* [[We Have Reserves]]: Prinnies are treated this way in both [[The Chew Toy|the story]] and [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|the gameplay,]] since they only cost 1 HL to heal or ''resurrect''.

''The'' Bonus Boss, Baal first appeared as a Demon ''Lord'' in ''[[La Pucelle]]''. He [[Took a Level In Badass]] in ''Disgaea 1'' where he became known as Supreme Overlord (or "Tyrant") and was the one who was ultimately {{spoiler|responsible for King Krichevskoy's death; it was propaganda that blamed "black pretzels."}} In this game, he became a Prinny after his first defeat; it was assumed at the time that this was a reincarnation. Baal appears again in ''[[Phantom Brave]]'', this time taking the form of a Mushroom-esque monster, an Eringer/Funguy. It was assumed at the time that he had gone through his reincarnation period as a Prinny, yet retained his incredible strength. More of his true nature became known in ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', Baal does not die when his body is killed, rather he merely finds other host bodies to inhabit and he is as old as the universe itself.. This became ''worse'' in ''Disgaea 2'' when he started getting more than one body. In ''Disgaea 3'', Baal has more of a storyline, he is stealing traits from various characters for some unfathomable reason. Expect lots and lots of [[Level Grinding]] to be anywhere near capable of fighting Baal, his HP tends to be in the millions.

 

 

Tropes associated with Baal

* [[Multiversal Conqueror]]

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

* [[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.

'''Pringer X'''

 

 

* [[Bonus Boss]]: Gained this position in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Prior to ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.

* [[It Only Works Once]]: His evility, Special Skill Solved, makes it so that any special move used on Pringer X in a battle cannot be used a second time for any damage. This includes when there are multiple bodies. (The immunity is then given to all of them.)

 

Tropes Associated with Asagi:

* [[Alliterative Name]]: Her full name, as shown in both [[Prinny Can I Really Be the Hero]] and it's sequel, is Asagi Asagiri.

* [[Bonus Boss]]: Specifically, the one Bonus Boss who has appeared in ''every'' NIS game since her initial appearance. Not even the mainstays like Laharl or Baal can boast this.

** Except in [[La Pucelle|La Pucelle: Ragnarok]].

* [[Break the Cutie]]: Asagi seems to be getting increasingly insane with each game she shows up in that isn't hers.

* [[Character Development]]: By the end of ''[[Prinny 2|Asagi Wars]]'', {{spoiler|while she realizes that she failed to become the main character, she cherishes her friendship with Flonne and saves the Netherworld by launching [[Heroic Sacrifice|herself into the incoming battleship Yoshitsuna]] and by doing so gets her body back}}.

** [[Character Rerailment|She is back to her old self in the sequential NIS games though]].

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: One of the most tragically hilarious cases ever.

* [[Determinator]]: She's tried ''how'' many times to get her own game already? And she shows no sign of slowing down.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Several fans have pointed out that if Asagi ever does get her own game, her main shtick goes 'poof'.

* [[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]].

* [[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.

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

* [[Split Personality]]: Hinted at in her various appearances, but manifests itself most obviously in Prinny PSP.

* [[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.

 

* [[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.

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

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

* [[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.
