'''''[[Disgaea]]: Hour of Darkness''''' is a [[Turn-Based Strategy]] game released by [[Nippon Ichi]] in 2003 for the [[PlayStation 2]]. It details the adventures of a [[Noble Demon]] [[Evil Overlord]] (in training!) named Laharl and his quest to fulfill his perceived destiny as Overlord of the Netherworld. He enlists the help of his [[The Lancer|number-one vassal]] Etna, a somewhat [[Love Freak|bubble-headed angel]] named Flonne, and a host of exploding penguins called Prinnies.
It was later ported to the [[PlayStation Portable]] as ''Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness'', which added several improvements to the game from ''[[Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories]]'', and added a brand-new "[[Another Side, Another Story|Etna Mode]]" which stars Etna rather than Laharl, accessible after the game is won once, or if a [[Classic Cheat Code|specific button code sequence is entered at the title screen.]] It was also ported to the [[Nintendo DS]] as ''Disgaea DS'', which removed most of the voice acting but added [[Greek Chorus|Prinny commentary]] on most of the cutscenes. It was then ported to [[Steam]], mostly based on the PSP version. Later ports include versions for the [[Nintendo Switch]], [[PlayStation 4]], iOS, and [[Android Games|Android]].
A [[Twelve-Episode Anime|short]] [[The Anime of the Game|anime]] called ''[[Makai Senki Disgaea]]'' was released.
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 [[
* [[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}}.
* [[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
* [[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.
