It was later ported to the [[Play Station Portable]] as ''Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness'', which added several improvements to the game from ''[[Disgaea 2]]'', 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.

Line 26:
{{quote| '''Flonne''':''"Oops, pardon me!"'' }}
* [[Armies Are Evil]]: {{spoiler|The EDF}}.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: the infamous ''equippable [[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.}}
* [[Artifact Title]]: Etna still calls the game by its original name, "Hour of Darkness," in the remake despite the remake's name being changed to "''Afternoon'' of Darkness."
* [[Asskicking Equals Authority]]: When the dark assembly rejects one of your propositions, you can use the "Persuade by force" option and make the senators agree with you by beating them up.
Line 60:
* [[Cool Gate]]: The gate in the hub allows you to access various parts of the netherworld.
* [[Council of Angels]]
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: Laharl can be very hard to take seriously at first, being a loudmouthed scrawny brat, but as is quickly revealed, he's more than powerful enough to take (and keep) the position of Overlord.
* [[Cute Witch]]: Apparently, Laharl's mother was one of these.
** Flonne could be considered one as well, though she's technically a trainee angel turned fallen angel. Laharl does mention that Flonne is like his mother; though he was referring to her talk of love and demeanor, they may be similar in other ways too.
Line 74:
** Not to mention a large portion of Jennifer's dialogue.
* [[Dropped a Bridget On Him]]: Happens in the manga where Maderas becoming attracted to a beautiful woman, only for Etna to tell him that the woman is actually [[Disguised in Drag|Vyers in drag]]!!!
* [[Dual
* [[Dumb Is Good]]: '''Flonne.'''
* [[DVD Commentary]]: Spoofed with the "Prinny Commentary" on the DS version, activated with a [[New Game Plus]] (which means can be unlocked from the first Mid-Boss fight).
Line 82:
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Petty theft from Laharl? That's beneath him. He ''plunders''.
** Also, Laharl freaks out when Jennifer gives him sex-ed lessons along with humans [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|assuming demons as rapists]].
* [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: "From now on, your name is Mid-boss!" Notably, ''everyone in the game'' calls him that after that scene, and his name in dialogue boxes changes as well.
* [[Evil Laugh]]: Laharl.
* [[Evil Versus Evil]]
* [[Expy]]: Aside from having tighter pants and a much prettier face, Mid-Boss' sprite resembles a recolored Alan from [[La Pucelle]].
* [["Failure to Save" Murder]]: Kurtis' family got killed and he personally holds Captain Gordon accountable for this, even though the latter wasn't involved in this in any way. As far as Kurtis is concerned, though, Gordon didn't do his job as a Defender of Earth and should be replaced.
* [[Fanfare]]: "Anthem of Braves", for Captain Gordon and his crew.
* [[Fire and Brimstone Hell]]: The Sea of Gehenna.
* [[Five
** [[The Hero]]: Laharl
** [[The Lancer]]: Etna
Line 107:
** Marjoly also won't stand still when she's idle. Priere has similar treatment to Jennifer.
* [[Gag Penis]]: And ''you can steal that sucker and [[Horse Wiener|equip it]]!''
* [[God Is Good]]: Plays out similarly to the [[Anti
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: Mid-Boss.
* [[Graphics Induced Super Deformed]]: Compare proportions of characters in-game and in cutscene portraits.
Line 114:
* [[Green Aesop]]: When Jennifer asks Laharl if he's really not planning to invade Earth, he replies, "Earth is that planet where humans foolishly pollute their own environment, right? Why would I be interested in that?" To further drive the point home, the Prinny commentary in the DS version adds, " Man, that's harsh. It's pretty much the end of it, if a demon says that about you."
** Carter justifies invading the Netherworld because mankind needs a new home when Earth becomes uninhabitable. Laharl's response? "Clean up your own damn mess!" You can't get more direct than that.
* [[Grey and Gray Morality]]: The player character is a [[Card
* [[Guile Hero]]: Lamington.
* [[Gun Fu]]: One of skills a character can learn from using guns is basically made of this.
Line 122:
* [[Her Codename Was Mary Sue]]: Etna loves doing this during most of her chapter previews, particularly the one for episode 6. Laharl and Vyers provide snark.
* [[Heroes Prefer Swords]]: Played straight by Laharl for promotional images and cut-scenes. Being a humanoid character, however, the player can choose to equip him with any weapon. In fact, he's one of the few in the first Disgaea to be highly proficient with multiple weapons. <ref> He has an A ranked proficiency with all melee-type weapons (Fists, Swords, Spears, and Axes) and even a bow</ref>
* [[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.
Line 129:
* [[I Made Copies]]: In episode 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.
* [[A Lighter Shade of Black]]: Laharl the wannabe [[Evil Overlord]] vs. an [[Omnicidal Maniac]].
* [[Killed Mid
{{quote| '''Etna:''' "Flonne, whatcha doing?"<br />
'''Flonne:''' Oh, hi Et... <br />
Line 137:
* [[Knight Templar]]: Vulcanus, living proof that [[Light Is Not Good]].
* [[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
* [[Lethal Joke Item]]: The [[Horse Wiener]]. Even Laharl is afraid of it, though justifiably. How would you block it, dood?
* [[Living Weapon]]: Longinus, the sentient spear who teaches you about weapon skills and mastery.
* [[Lord Error
* [[Love Freak]]: [[Trope Namer|Named for]] Flonne, who was very fond of talking about love and kindness, in contrast to Laharl and Etna, who are both demons and have no use for that stuff.
** {{spoiler|Or so they say.}}
Line 190:
* [[Rapid Fire Interrupting]]: '''Captain Gordon, DEFENDER OF EARTH!''''s infamous interrupting Etna in the end of Episode 9. Which ends with...
{{quote| '''Etna''': "Ha ha ha ha", ''MY ASS!!'' *gunshot, beating sounds*}}
* [[Red Oni, Blue Oni]]: Inverted. Cool blue-haired Laharl has an extremely short temper, while fiery red-haired Etna is calmer and ([[A Cup Angst|usually]]) more rational.
* [[Refuge in Audacity]]: That Zombie boss at the end of Episode 7. You know which one we're talking about. "A ''horse wiener''? Now, ''that's'' dangerous!" indeed. Jennifer sure loves her [[Naughty Tentacles]], too...
* [[Regal Ringlets]]: The Archer unit has this hairstyle. Later incarnations would change to [[Mega Twintails]].
Line 215:
* [[The Man Behind the Man]]: {{spoiler|Seraph Lamington behind Archangel Vulcanus}}.
* [[Theme Naming]]: Laharl, Etna, Lamington, Vulcanus, Vesuvius, Yasurl and Krichevskoy are all related to volcanoes ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahar lahar], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Etna Mount Etna], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Lamington Mount Lamington], the Roman fire god/[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vulcano Vulcano], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Vesuvius Mount Vesuvius], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Yasur Mount Yasur] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klyuchevskaya_Sopka Kliuchevskoi], respectively). Also the prinnies = [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plinian_eruption plinian], a type of eruption.
* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Mid-Boss says this after Laharl gives him his new nickname.
** Laharl after Etna's spell bounces off Flonne and burns up his hair.
* [[Torpedo Tits]]: The Prinny commentary jokes that when Jennifer is kidnapped, this might have been done to her.
* [[Transformation Sequence]]: Subversion - in the battle with the Prism Rangers, Etna shoots both Blue and Yellow into [[Non
* [[Tsundere]]: Laharl comes pretty close to the textbook definition, when he finds Flonne's pendant, and when he follows her to Celestia.
** {{spoiler|Etna}} is is ridiculously Tsun to everyone but, if you read her diary, shows she has a pretty soft spot for {{spoiler|the late King.}}
Line 227:
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Thursday's "BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP", and the Prinny's "Dood".
* [[Weird Moon]]: The red moon.
* [[What Do You Mean
** {{spoiler|Rain pepper on earth so people can't stop sneezing.}}
** {{spoiler|Give human kids an addicting video game to deprive them of their sleep.}}
* [[Winged Humanoid]]: Flonne, though outside of one of her attacks, in which they spread out and grow, she's never seen actually flying with them. Etna also has wings, and in ''Disgaea 2'', demonstrates that they actually grow to 3 times their normal size to allow for flight. Official art and a cutscene in Disgaea 2 also reveal that Laharl has a pair under the cape -- [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|and they're absolutely tiny]].
* [[With a Friend And A Stranger]]: Laharl, Etna, and Flonne.
* [[With Catlike Tread]]: When Flonne infiltrates Laharl's castle, she loudly provides sound effects. <ref> Whoosh! Nin nin nin!. Wumph!</ref>
