Revision as of 13:17, 6 May 2018
- Breakthrough Hit: Disgaea became a Sleeper Hit for Nippon Ichi in the West, and they would open a publishing branch in the U.S. after the game's release in that territory.
- Cross-Dressing Voices: Laharl's voiced by Barbara Goodson and Kaori Mizuhashi.
- Hey, It's That Voice!: Laharl is Rita Repulsa, which would explain things.
- Ta-kun! (In Fooly Cooly, Barbara Goodson plays a boy named Naota who is stoic; the opposite of Laharl)
- As if Vulcanus wasn't Obviously Evil enough, he eventually becomes Ganondorf.
- The Other Darrin: Amanda Winn Lee was the original English dub voice for Etna, Laharl's second-in-command. In all of her subsequent appearances, Michelle Ruff took over the role.
- Talking to Himself: Laharl's seiyuu has starred in almost every Nippon Ichi game that features Laharl as a cameo (eg. Hanako in Disgaea 2, Asagi in Prinny Wars, Marona in Phantom Brave, the worst offender being Disgaea 3, in which she played six roles), causing quite a few instances of this. She also causes a within Hour of Darkness example of this by voicing Laharl's mother, although this is averted in the anime.
- What Could Have Been:
- Mid Boss was originally going to be a hulking monster who easily cried and Laharl originally had a sister. The designs of proto-Mid Boss and Laharl's little sister would make it's way into the anime as two monster guarding the dump Flonne finds Laharl in and Maharl, a demon trying to pose as Laharl's sister, respectively.
- Originally, the series was supposed to be a space-set rail shooter series, similar to Star Fox. Several elements from the original idea can be seen in-game, such as the gun turrets from Chapter 13 and the Scout's Geo Cannon ability.
