Makai Senki Disgaea: Difference between revisions

Line 19:

** Maharl is based off of a character design that Takehito Harada, the main artist for the series, made, but never got around to using.

* [[Cape Wings]] -- One of the forms Laharl turns his scarf into.

* [[Card Carrying Villain]] -- Laharl, and most every other demon as well.

* [[Card-Carrying Villain]] -- Laharl, and most every other demon as well.

* [[Catch Phrase]]

** Prinnies:[[Verbal Tic|Dood!]]

Line 28:

* [[Double Entendre]] -- Etna has a blatantly innuendo-filled conversation (that we only hear the final part of) with Flonne in about the 4th episode. In fact, Etna does this a lot.

* [[Dub Name Change]] -- ''Inverted''. The boar demons Hoggmeiser and Porkmeister are referred to as Zenisky and Koganesky, which are their names in the original Japanese version of the game.

* [[~~Everythings~~ Better With Penguins]] -- As usual, dood!

* [[Everything's Better With Penguins]] -- As usual, dood!

* [[Fan Disservice]] -- Gordon gets a temp job in a saloon in a white and pink minidress.

* [[Fan Service With a Smile]] -- Jennifer gets a temp job in a saloon in a white and pink minidress.

Line 42:

* [[Lame Excuse]] -- The Prinnies ''almost'' noticed that Laharl wasn't a Prinny because he didn't say "dood" after two sentences. Etna covered for him by saying he's sick.

* [[Laughably Evil]] -- Laharl, since this is a comedy anime. Also, Vulcanus in Episode 3.

* [[Lethal Chef]] -- Flonne tries cooking for the group in the episode that loosely homages the Prinny World location. Laharl takes a few bite and is sick... although, given Laharl is a [[Card Carrying Villain]] who gets freaked out by people just talking about love, peace and joy, and the fact he sprouts a thought bubble in which he is running playfully through a field of flowers and laughing with joy, it could be just that Flonne's food is so chockful of her positive attitudes it's unpalatable to him. But, then again, Flonne states she's never actually cooked before/isn't a very good cook when Laharl demands she make him something to eat.

But, then again, Flonne states she's never actually cooked before/isn't a very good cook when Laharl demands she make him something to eat.

** Etna also tries it after Laharal states how bad it is and and also turns blue in the face. It is likely genuinely that bad. Also, Laharl orders Etna to cook something at this point, but she claims her cooking would be worse.

* [[Long Lost Sibling]] -- Maharl is apparently this.

Line 48:

* [[Made of Iron]] -- Laharl. He was poisoned, and instead of dying (like anyone else in the world would have), he slept it off for two years. He can also hold onto Flonne's pendant, which would burn most demons rather badly, but Laharl takes it like a champ.

* [[Mythology Gag]] -- This series could really be considered more of an [[Alternate Continuity]] that happens to reference lots of elements from the original game. For example, Maderas calls up a pack of busty (if chastely dressed) succubi and [[Catgirl|catgirls]] who start chanting positive phrases like "eternal love", which makes Laharl so freaked out he can barely fight. This is a loose adaption of a background effect from an actual fight in the game, which has the effect of cutting Laharal's attack stats by 50%.

* [[Off Model]] -- Happens often.

* [[Off-Model]] -- Happens often.

** Depending on the artist, Etna's two tufts of hair will either be their usual large size or smaller than her head. [[It Got Worse|And then it keeps on changing sizes as the scene goes on...]]

* [[Paper Thin Disguise]] -- Etna and Flonne dress up in Prinny suits to sneak into Prinny World. [[Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten (Video Game)|They didn't have enough money to get Laharl a whole suit, so they gave him a hat]]. The actual Prinnies note that Laharl doesn't have the usual [[Verbal Tic]], dood, and call him out on it... so the girls cover for him by saying he's sick.

The actual Prinnies note that Laharl doesn't have the usual [[Verbal Tic]], dood, and call him out on it... so the girls cover for him by saying he's sick.

* [[Parody Sue]] -- Maharl, "sister" of Laharl.

* [[Perverse Puppet]] -- It turns out {{spoiler|Maharl is actually a puppet in the shape of a demon vaguely like a female Laharl. The "doll" she carries everywhere is actually the real demon animating her and using her as a cover. Though this doesn't stop her getting up and walking around on her own in one scene in one of the last episodes.}}

Line 60:

* [[Shamu Fu]]: Replaces the daggers and bombs as the Prinnies' weapons.

* [[Tentacle Rope]]: {{spoiler|Thursday when programmed to do evil}} grabs Etna and Flonne.

* [[This Is Unforgivable]]: Often played for laughs, like in Episode 2 when Vyers says this to the protagonists for nicknaming him Mid-boss just like in Disgaea 1 and in Episode 3 when Vulcanus says this upon flipping out after finding Flonne sleeping with Laharl and Etna.

* [[This Is Unforgivable!]]: Often played for laughs, like in Episode 2 when Vyers says this to the protagonists for nicknaming him Mid-boss just like in Disgaea 1 and in Episode 3 when Vulcanus says this upon flipping out after finding Flonne sleeping with Laharl and Etna.

** {{spoiler|The only time this trope is played seriously is in the finale when Etna says this to Seraph Lamington for the punishment he gave Flonne for killing some of her fellow angels.}} Then again, anime are really good with this trope.

* [[Too Dumb to Live]] -- The Prinnies. They're not too bright in general, but it becomes most obvious when they attempt to establish their own home, Prinny World, on a small floating island... which begins to sink after too many Prinnies show up. They also didn't notice that the loud-mouthed, almost-naked kid with a giant Prinny hat and no [[Verbal Tic]] actually wasn't a Prinny.
