Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice/Characters


For characters that appear in multiple games in the series, see the main character sheet.


Mao

Voiced by: Hiromi Hirata (JP), Vic Mignogna (EN)

 
 

A demon "Honor Student" out to kill his father and take his place as Overlord. Reading far too much manga for his own good, he concludes that the best way to do this is to become the Hero, because heroes always kick Overlord ass.

 

Tropes associated with Mao:

 

What are you doing here, Beryl? Are you trying to interrupt my research again? I'm about to conduct a physics experiment on skirt lifting. Get out of here.

 
 

Almaz: You need help in more ways than one.

 
 

Almaz: I think I've just been violated.

 

Almaz von Almandine Adamant

Voiced by: Hiro Shimono (JP), Johnny Yong Bosch (EN)

 
 

A guardsman in the human world who goes to the Netherworld to fight the overlord to protect the princess. Gets his title stolen and all sorts of bad stuff comes his way.

 

Tropes associated with Almaz:

Princess Sapphire Rhodonite

Voiced by: Akiko Hasegawa (JP), Stephanie Sheh (EN)

 
 

Princess of her kingdom. Very aggressive despite her appearance. Probably best described as a Cloudcuckoolander raised by Machiavelli. Has decided that the best way not to be a Damsel in Distress is to kill via preemptive strike anyone who might kidnap her.

 

Tropes associated with Sapphire:

Raspberyl

Voiced by: Chiwa Saitou (JP), Laura Bailey (EN)

 
Normal outfit
 
Teacher outfit
 

Mao's childhood friend and the school's resident delinquent (a position which she maintains by being an almost Messianic Do-Gooder) who tries to talk Mao out of the whole "Hero" thing because she thinks he might end up stealing her thunder. Calls herself Beryl and comes with her own posse of Technical Pacifists.

 

Tropes associated with Raspberyl:

Mr. Champloo

Voiced by: Keiichi Kuwabara (JP), Christopher Corey Smith (EN)

 
 

Evil Academy's legendary, strict Home Economics teacher, an incredibly enthusiastic practitioner of the deadly Fire Chaos Style Kitchen Fist. He has a tendency to make wise observations wrapped in cooking metaphors, but he's also surprisingly competent and notably altruistic. Tags along with Mao for his own reasons, but seems to know an awful lot about a variety of things despite not being on the school's payroll or its insurance.

 

Tropes associated with Mr. Champloo:

Master Big Star

Voiced by: Chihiro Suzuki (JP), Liam O'Brien (EN)

 
 

The Sophomore Class Leader. A good-looking gentleman who does a fantastic job at being a leader, and looks down upon Mao for lacking good leadership traits.

 

Tropes associated with Master Big Star:

 

Almaz: In case you were all wondering, "Master" is actually his first name.

 

Salvatore the Magnificent

Voiced by: Miho Yamada (JP), Michelle Ruff (EN)

 
 

A member of the Diez Gentlemen. She is an military woman who gives (impossible) orders to her enemies as well as her own men. Quits the Diez Gentlemen soon after she discovers she was working for Super Hero Aurum the whole time.

 

Tropes associated with Salvatore:

Super Hero Aurum

Voiced by: Gorou Kubota (JP), Dave Wittenberg (EN)

 
 

A legendary super hero from the past. The truth about him is not pleasant. Was originally a hero that fought evil demons, and hearing that Mao's father was supposed to be the strongest overlord, came to Evil Academy to kill him. He came across him after he had crushed Mao's games, and in exchange for giving Mao his autograph, Mao told him his father's weakpoints, not aware Aurum was planning on killing him. Finding Mao's father to be too easy a fight, Aurum actually found his victory boring and was frightened by the thought that everyone would forget about him, but noticing Mao's Super-Powered Evil Side, he planned to train Mao to become a new villain to fight. Is revealed late in the game to have been masquerading as Mao's butler Geoffrey behind the senior students trying to turn all of evil academy into delinquents.

 

Tropes associated with Aurum.

Asuka Cranekick and Kyoko Needleworker

 
Kyoko and Asuka
 

Asuka and Kyoko are two female demons, a Lady Samurai and Ninja respectively, who work alongside Raspberyl as "demon delinquents". They join the team along with Beryl after their graduation.

 

Tropes associated with Asuka and Kyoko:

  • Bare Your Midriff
  • Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: Both wear copious amounts of the same shade of pink as Beryl's hair.
  • The Dividual
  • Fainting: Asuka nearly does an Emotional Faint when Mao kills the first Beryl doppelganger without warning.
  • The Fettered: Same as their lady.
  • Girl Posse
  • Highly-Visible Ninja: Justified with Kyoko as being stealthy is not the delinquent way, preferring to fight in broad daylight instead. It's also probably so that her outfit matches with Raspberyl and Asuka.
  • Meaningful Name: Asuka enjoys folding paper cranes, while Kyoko is an avid seamstress.
  • Palette Swap: Of the Lady Samurai and the Kunoichi, respectively. Oddly enough, they still have a single unique move each.[1]
  • Paper Master: Asuka
  • Rapunzel Hair: Like all Shrine Maidens/Lady Samurai, Asuka wears hers in a ponytail.
  • Red Oni, Blue Oni: Subtle, but still present. Kyoko is generally the first of the pair to speak up and shows her emotions more strongly, particularly when it comes to her Onee-Sama Beryl. Asuka, meanwhile, is more soft-spoken and calmer, though she shows Raspberyl just as much respect.
  • Tomboyish Ponytail: Kyoko's sweeps upwards, while Asuka's sweeps back and downward. Both styles keep it out of the way.
  • Yamato Nadeshiko: Asuka is one according to her Evility.

The Vato Bros.

 

The Vato Bros. - Chewie, Cholo and Churro by name - are a trio of Orc honor students who (in the English dub) speak with heavy Latino accents. They serve the same game role as Mid-Boss and Axel, as recurring comic relief characters.

 

Tropes associated with the Vato Bros.:

BeyondX

 

A bizarre girl with the ability to shape shift. She, like Salvatore, is a member of the Diez Gentlemen.

Tropes associated with BeyondX:

  • Cosplay Otaku Girl: Due to her shapeshifting ability others view her as such, although she denies it.
    • Though when you run into her in the Item World's Innocent towns, she sometimes does ask about Mao's opinion on cosplaying girls.
  • Horny Devils: One of her "disguises" is that of Ms. Machiko, a succubus.
  • Palette Swap: Of the generic mage class.
  • Strong as They Need to Be: While not the first Disgaea boss to change levels from different times, it's probably worth noting that when you talk to her in the hub area when she's Ms. Machiko, she's listed as level 500, which puts her as being more powerful than the final boss. Both times you fight her, she's nowhere nearly that powerful.
  • Voluntary Shapeshifting: Which she uses for (cosplay) covert operations.

Rutile

Voiced by: Sayuri Yahagi (JP)

 

A 15-year old halfling Nekomata raised on Earth. She's unfamiliar with the ways of the Netherworld, so she transfers to Evil Academy to learn more. Though gentle and trusting, she packs a lot of power into her small frame. She's one of two new characters exclusive to the PS Vita re-release.

 

Tropes associated with Rutile:

Stella Grossular

Voiced by: Saori Hayami (JP)

 

The sole daughter of the Chief Director of Death Institute, Majin Academy, a rival school to Evil Academy, and also its acting Student Body President. She raises monsters, with slimes and zombies being her favorites. She has a spoiled, uppity attitude, which is strangely countered by an immature, prank-loving side. The second of the two new characters.

 

Tropes associated with Stella:

  1. Two in Raspberyl Mode.
