Line 23:
{{quote|'''Flonne''':''"Oops, pardon me!"''}}
* [[Armies Are Evil]]: {{spoiler|The EDF}}.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: the infamous ''equippable [[Improbable Accessory Effect|Horse Wiener]]'' scene:
{{quote|'''Aramis:''' The fists of a Dark Karate master... The legs of the fastest demon in the Netherworld... The brain of Mahogany, a famous sorcerer... The iron body of Hercules... And a '''horse wiener!'''}}
* [[Arson, Murder, and Lifesaving]][[Arson, Murder, and Admiration|/Admiration]]: After defeating {{spoiler|Maderas}}, Laharl {{spoiler|heavily chastises Etna for using him for her plans. Then, due to understanding the [[Blackmail|situation]], forgives and promotes her for impressing him and taking out an enemy}}.
Line 101:
* [[Fridge Logic]]: The in-universe Prinny commentator in the DS version makes it its job to lampshade every possible instance of it.
* [[Fun Size]]: The trio is often drawn this way on promotional artwork.
* [[Gag Penis]]: And ''you can steal that sucker and [[HorseImprobable WienerAccessory Effect|equip it]]!''
* [[Gainaxing]]: Jennifer's sprite has a very noticeable "bounce" to it as she walks. Also, whilst most characters stand still when it's not their turn, the Kit-Kat and Succubus monsters, well, ''don't''.
** It's even worse in the anime where the camera does a close-up of said bounce at least once per episode.
Line 122:
* [[Hey, You]]: How Laharl refers to Flonne for a whole chapter after meeting her. She [[Beware the Nice Ones|rips him a new one]] for it later.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: {{spoiler|6-4 Writhing Shadow}}.
* [[Horse Wiener]]: And how.
* [[Hub Level]]: Laharl's castle acts as your base of operations.
* [[I Know Karate]]: Jennifer does. Hilariously, the Art Book even goes so far as to say that this makes her stronger than Gordon.
* [[I Made Copies]]: In Chapter 5, Maderas sends a challege to Laharl to contend for overlordship on the back of a embarrassing photo, he threatens to scatter copies of set photo all across the Netherworld if Laharl does not comply.
* [[Improbable Accessory Effect]]: The Horse Weiner. And how.
* [[Killed Mid-Sentence]]: At one point, Flonne steals Etna's role of providing a wildly inaccurate [["On the Next..."|preview]] of the next episode.
{{quote|'''Etna:''' "Flonne, whatcha doing?"
Line 135:
* [[Large Ham]]: Mid-Boss is one, as is '''Captain Gordon, [[Large Ham Title|Defender of Earth!]]''', who apparently has [[No Indoor Voice]]. Vulcanus counts, as well.
* [[Lawyer-Friendly Cameo]]: The Prism Rangers, Thursday, and '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!'''
* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: The [[Horse Wiener]]. Even Laharl is afraid of it, though justifiably. How would you block it, good?
* [[A Lighter Shade of Black]]: Laharl the wannabe [[Evil Overlord]] vs. an [[Omnicidal Maniac]].
* [[Living Weapon]]: Longinus, the sentient spear who teaches you about weapon skills and mastery.
Line 185:
** [[The Power of Friendship]]: Towards the end of the game, a force field needs to be broken past, the happy-go-lucky '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''' and his team are ready to go with this, Laharl and his crew (sans Flonne, who's even ''more'' enthusiastic than '''Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!''') all sound like they're being made to go take Piano lessons or something. {{spoiler|It works anyway}}.
** Flonne actually has a special technique called "[[The Power of Love]]". It's a healing technique, naturally.
** A very important point the game, the main plot actually revolves around this. {{spoiler|Seraph Lamington and Laharl's father}} wanted to see if angels and demons can love each other and co-exist. The whole reason why Flonne was sent to the Netherworld was so she could develop a bond with Laharl and Etna. Then, {{spoiler|Lamington}} pretends to kill Flonne to see the reaction that that bond has created; he almost ends up dead for it in the canon ending and did end up dead for it in the alternate ending.
* [[Rage Against the Heavens]]: Laharl's plot to rule the Netherworld in ''Disgaea'' eventually extends to Celestia {{spoiler|and in a silly optional side-quest, the Human World}}. Possibly subverted, as Celestia {{spoiler|did attack first, after all}}.
* [[Rapid Fire Interrupting]]: '''Captain Gordon, DEFENDER OF EARTH!''''s infamous interrupting Etna in the end of Chapter 9. Which ends with...
