Line 8:
Unfortunately the summoning ritual ends up conjuring Rozalin, Zenon's [[Spoiled Sweet]] daughter. Having accidentally kidnapped the only daughter of the most powerful Overlord in existence, it's a race for Adell to return Rozalin to Zenon before he tears the world apart looking for her. It's a shame that Rozalin is so sheltered that [[Upper Class Twit|she has no idea where her father actually lives]]. Meanwhile, [[Disgaea: Hour of Darkness|Etna]] has decided to strike out on her own and is gunning for the title of God of All Overlords that Zenon possesses.
 
Joining Adell are his two younger siblings, Taro and Hanako; Tink, Rozalin's childhood friend who has been [[Baleful Polymorph|Baleful Polymorphed]]ed into a frog; and Yukimaru, a [[Ninja]] girl who seeks revenge against Overlord Zenon for wiping out her clan, [[Verbal Tic|zam]].

Line 40:
* [[Bragging Theme Tune]]: Etna's ''Etna Rock'' and Axel's ''White Tiger''.
* [[Brick Joke]]: In Axel Mode, one of his baby brothers, Axeleration, is a [[Genre Savvy]] little know-it-all who loves sharing his insights on the entertainment business. Axel is horrified that he doesn't "act like a proper child". In the last act, {{spoiler|his other baby brother Axident, who's been cooing and crying all this time, abruptly complains that it's hard to act like a baby, and Axel praises him for staying in character for so long}}.
* [[Brilliant but Lazy]]: Adell is entirely capable of being intelligent, as he demonstrates with the [[Inevitable Tournament]]'s ungodly complicated geopuzzle and his status as the group's [[Only Sane Man]], but usually turns his brain off because solving everything by punching the crap out of it is generally easier -- andeasier—and [[Blood Knight|more fun.]]
* [[Butt Monkey]]:
** Tink, the lecherous frog. He even gets a subpoena from the Dark Court just for ''existing''. Also note his ultimate attack-
Line 71:
* [[The Dandy]]: Tink.
* [[Dark World]]:...the...um....Dark World; as well as the Land of Carnage.
* [[Defeat Equals Friendship]]: In several ways. Most of the story characters have to beaten, or at least, foiled first. Downloadble characters (save one) have to be roughed up, and other extra characters that you can get in the [[Updated Rerelease]] are initially [[Bonus Boss|Bonus Bosses]]es. Further, you can capture monsters by tossing them into the Base Panel and whupping the tar out of them.
* [[Defrosting Ice Queen]]: Rozalin.
* [[Determinator]]/[[Idiot Hero]]: Adell. He always fights face-to-face, and only uses [[Good Old Fisticuffs]]. Then again, this is Disgaea, where [[Good Old Fisticuffs]] involves punching people so hard they turn into a black hole, which then explodes.
Line 128:
** Also, {{spoiler|your crimes and penalties actually ties into the ending you get into the game.}} {{spoiler|It makes sense, given that the worse ending implies that the player played Adell as a [[Complete Monster]] who kept committing crimes and killing allies left and right. Whereas the Good End actually reflects on how the player cared about your allies.}}
** Rozalin and Adell start out hating each other, and this is reflected by the fact that as the game begins they only have a 1% chance of engaging in a Team Attack together. As the story progresses and they grow closer, this slowly climbs to 99%. If you get DLC Almaz and Sapphire for ''Dark Hero Days'', they too have a 99% chance of team attacking, due to them {{spoiler|being married by the end of Disgaea 3}}.
* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: Adell does this to Rozalin after she totally wigs out in a battle against {{spoiler|Laharl}} and starts to attack her teammates. This becomes [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|retroactively awesome]] when you realize that {{spoiler|she reverted back to [[Super-Powered Evil Side|Overlord Zenon]]}}, meaning that {{spoiler|Adell just [[Bright Slap|Bright Slapped]]ped the ''God of all Overlords''. And it ''worked''.}}
* [[Giant Waist Ribbon]]: Yukimaru, Fubuki, and Rozalin.
* [[Goldfish Poop Gang]]: Axel is a one-man Goldfish Poop Gang.
Line 145:
** Yukimaru frequently attempts seppuku whenever she thinks she failed her mission. She gets over it.
* [[Hopeless Boss Fight]]: Etna and Laharl during the main storyline.
** Partially subverted by the [[New Game+]] system and ability to [[Level Grinding|Level Grind]] -- you—you ''can'' win these fights, if you spend weeks preparing for them, and doing so in ''Disgaea 2'' gets you a [[Nonstandard Game Over]].
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: After playing through the game a bit, various secondary characters will send proposals to the Dark Assembly to become the Main Character. If the proposal is passed -- andpassed—and there's usually a very good chance of it happening -- ahappening—a [[Nonstandard Game Over]] is triggered (You get a cool item if you defeat it).
* [[Hot-Blooded]]: Quite a few characters, but Adell especially. He can even ''set enemies on fire'' through sheer hot-bloodedness.
** Axel deserves specific mention, as well. Manages to roast his director with an explosion caused by his hotbloodedness, plus he's voiced by [[Nobuyuki Hiyama|one of most hotblooded JP VAs around]].
Line 153:
* [[I Am a Humanitarian]]: Adell in the worst ending.
* [[Idiot Hair]]: Adell's [http://i236.photobucket.com/albums/ff210/serlyserly2/Disgaea%202/Concept-1.jpg character design notes] go as far as explicitly labeling it as Idiot Hair.
* [[Idol Singer]]: Axel has his own rock band -- andband—and film crew!
* [[Immortality Begins At Twenty]]: Unlike the rest of the worlds in the series, demons native to Veldime mature like humans.
* [[The Immune]]: Adell is the only human in the world who isn't affected by Zenon's curse {{spoiler|because his parents are demons, and so is he}}
Line 193:
* [[Pillars of Moral Character]]: Adell's requirement to live up to all his promises binds him like a ball and chain.
* [[Playing with Fire]]: Adell.
* [[Power Fist]]: Lots of classes use unarmed strikes with weaponry -- andweaponry—and Adell, of course.
* [[Power Nullifier]]: Yukimaru.
* [[The Power of Love]]: {{spoiler|Adell fixes the (un)[[Heroic BSOD|HeroicBSODing]] Rozalin with a quick smooch.}}
Line 225:
** It seems he named himself "Main Hero B" just so that the demons would have an excuse to hurt him.
* [[Tsundere]]: Adell's mom. One minute, she speaks cheerfully to her little children, and the next minute she's chewing out her husband for things said by the giant monstrous mole on his chest.
** Rozalin might also count, although she skirts the line between major [[Tsundere]] and mild [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere (disambiguation)]] and just plain being [[Spoiled Brat]]. The later games seem to make her the poster child for Tsundere in the [[Disgaea]] series (Or in [[Nippon Ichi]] games in general) with Hanako and [[Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice|Raspberyl]] both [[Lampshade Hanging|calling her out on it]] and even a database entry on the term in [[Disgaea Infinite]] that uses her as an example.
** Axel Mode adds in {{spoiler|Actress}}, who's even ''worse'' about hiding her feelings with all the [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|Suspiciously Specific Denials]]s.
* [[True Companions]]: The reason that Rozalin try to stop {{spoiler|Laharl to take away Etna is because she consider her one.}}
* [[Twice Shy]]: {{spoiler|Adell and Rozalin.}}
