Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Addiction Displacement]]: Has replaced vampiric blood-drinking with sardines.

* [[Affectionate Nickname]]: "Mr. Weirdo", oddly enough. Artina always says it with a smile.

* [[Anti-Hero]]: Inverse type 3. He's a pretty nice guy, but morally ambiguous (but clearly NOT evil despite his claims), meaning that its pretty hard to determine if he's good or neutral.

* [[Badass Cape]]

* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: He may be a gullible Prinny Instructor who loves sardines, but he was once called a Tyrant for a reason!

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Artina

* [[Determinator]]: Whether it's keeping his promises, having Prinnies obey the Prinny rules, or correcting a typo, nothing will stop him from achieving his goals {{spoiler|even if it means going up against God.}}

* [[The Dreaded]]: Subverted. In his Tyrant state, he was considered a horrifying boogey man to humans and demons alike who's name was uttered in hushed voices. He's actually a pretty nice guy who treats spreading fear as a job.

* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: Comes with being a vampire.

* [[High Collar of Doom]]

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: He will keep his promise even if the one he made the promise to has been dead for over four hundred years and even if he's losing his power because of it.

* [[How the Mighty Have Fallen]]: Not that he's particularly concerned - he would have never discovered sardines otherwise! Not to mention he's still MUCH more powerful than he claims he is.

* [[Idiot Hero]]: Not stupid per se, but somewhat gullible, bull-headed, and with just enough [[Cloudcuckoolander]] tendencies to make come off as a bit of a dope.

* [[The Nose Knows]]: Can always identify the scent of human blood, which is why Fenrich's been unable to sneak the stuff into his meals.

* [[One-Winged Angel]]: His Tyrant Flughude skill turns him into a vampire beast.

* [[Parenthetical Swearing]]: Done literally - When he refers to Axel, a parenthetical note helpfully points out that what he ''really'' means is "idiot".

* [[Peek-a-Bangs]]: When he was still a Tyrant.

* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Valvatorez wears a pink apron in the end credits when he finally gets to fulfill his promise to the Prinnies by giving them a sardine feast.

* [[Red and Black And Evil All Over]]: By a [[Noble Demon|very loose definition of evil]].

* [[Replacement Scrappy]]: Averted. He's been very well received by fans of the series. Still not quite up to Laharl's level, but getting there.

* [[Rousing Speech]]: Has a habit of giving these.

* [[Professional Killer]]: His job before serving Valvatorez.

* [[Psychotic Smirk]]: Smiles like this when he is about to do something [[Manipulative Bastard]]-like.

* [[Sarcastic Devotee]]

* [[Servile Snarker]]

* [[Cute Bruiser]]

* [[Curtains Match the Window]]

* [[Everything's Better With Penguins]]: Due to the shortage of Prinny skins, instead of becoming a full Prinny, Fuka's given a cute Prinny hat and jacket to wear.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: {{spoiler|In the special Fuka & Desco Show DLC, her reincarnation will never happen but in her dreams due to the facts that: 1) Since she has been denying the fact that she's a Prinny, she ultimately was recognized as Fuka Kazamatsuri after passing the "hellish" training from Valvatorez; 2) All the money she took from the Mint won't have any effect to pay for her sins since she didn't even gain it as a Prinny; 3) Although she got her [[Take Over the World]] moment, the sin in itself is extremely heavy and thus cannot be paid with the "jillion" HL she got in the first place.}}

* [[Black Mage]]

* [[Bow Ties Are Cool]]

* [[Butt Monkey]]

* [[Child Mage]]

* [[Overlord, Jr.|President Jr]]

* [[Really 700 Years Old]]

* [[Shinigami]]

* [[Sinister Scythe]]: Wields one in his first and third skill. {{spoiler|Gets to use it story-wise and for the first time by taking Judge Nemo's soul.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Ascend to A Higher Plane of Existence]]: Artina becoming an angel after her death.}}

* [[Angelic Beauty]]: Although she looked much the same when she was alive.

* [[Blue Eyes]]

* [[Braids of Action]]

* [[Dull Eyes of Unhappiness]]: Present during her "sad" [[Character Portrait]].

* [[Fearless Fool]]: {{spoiler|This how Val thought of Artina after she showed no fear of him.}}

* [[Good Samaritan]]: {{spoiler|To Nemo.}}

* [[Guardian Angel]]: She tried to be this for {{spoiler|Nemo}}, but her words fell on deaf ears.

* [[Lovecraftian Superpower]]: [[media:yogsothoth_3263.JPG|Say hello to Yog-Sothoth for us]]

* [[Mythology Gag]]: Two of her attacks are based on the attacks used by previous [[Disgaea]] final bosses. Her "Final Boss Arises" is "[[Disgaea 2|Zenon's Dark Revenge]]" and her "True Godly Weapon" is "[[Disgaea 3|Aurum's Demon Slayer]]".

* [[Shipper On Deck]]: Just like [[Onee-Sama|Fuka]].

* [[Third Person Person]]

* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: The Girly Girl to Fuka's Tomboy since Fuka didn't want a tomboy little sister. Luckily for her, Desco listens to every word Fuka says. Being naturally [[Moe]] helps.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: Rarely goes more than a sentence without using the word "desu" in the Japanese audio.

{{quote| '''Fuka:''' If Big Sis says it's white, then it's white. If Big Sis says it's black, then it's black. Got that? If you follow this rule, then you can call me Big Sis.<br />

'''Desco:''' Okay! If Big Sis says that crows are white, then Desco will go paint them all white! }}

* [[Corrupt Politician]]: {{spoiler|Subverted, he was trying to protect the Netherworld as best as he could.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Deal With the Devil]]: With Nemo. Amusingly, the one making the deal is a demon, and the metaphorical devil is a human}}

* {{spoiler|[[Disc One Final Boss]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Good All Along]]}}

* {{spoiler|[[Our Ghosts Are Different]]: Pretty much.}}

* [[Scary Shiny Glasses]]: His sprite {{spoiler|during the final battle.}}

* [[That Man Is Dead]]: Refuses to give his name because "it was useless to me while I was being reborn."

* {{spoiler|[[Throw the Dog A Bone]]: Sure, becoming a Prinny may not seem like a form of mercy especially since he'll be a Prinny for a very long time due to all the sins he committed, but considering all he went through and that he was about to sacrifice his own soul, it definitely comes off as uplifting.}}

Fuka's father. From what she says about him, he's always working and never visits her. {{spoiler|He turns out to be a researcher from the human world that is funded by Nemo, and he's also the creator of Desco. It's ultimately revealed that his research was to fulfill his late wife's last request, which was to fulfill the wishes of Fuka. Those wishes were having a little sister and taking over the world - not that she remembers.}}

 

* [[Crazy Prepared]]: In the DLC cut scenes, he's always ready to fix a ship if something goes wrong. In the case of [[Soul Nomad|Gig]], he even had crates of hotpods prepared for him.

* [[Bumbling Dad]]

* {{spoiler|[[Meaningful Rename]]: She goes from being the final boss created to destroy the world to being Earth's final line of defense, thus why she's now "Earth X". Ironically, she's the final boss of the Fuka & Desco mode.}}

* [[Palette Swap]] {{spoiler|A pale one to Desco.}}

* [[Yandere]] {{spoiler|A father-daughter version. Des X loves Fuka's father but despises Fuka and Desco, both of whom she killed.}}
