=== Characters that appear in multiple games in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series: ===

* [[Stuff Blowing Up]]: When they are thrown.

* [[Verbal Tic]]: In Japanese, it's tagging a "-su" at the end of sentences, as a slangy version of 'Desu'. In the English dubs, they replaced that with saying "dood" at the end of sentences.

{{quote| '''Valvatorez''': Prinny Rule No.1! A Prinny must include the word "dood" in every line they say!}}

* [[We Have Reserves]]: Prinnies are treated this way in both [[The Chew Toy|the story]] and [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|the gameplay,]] since they only cost 1 HL to heal or ''resurrect''.

''The'' Bonus Boss, Baal first appeared as a Demon ''Lord'' in ''[[La Pucelle]]''. He [[Took a Level In Badass]] in ''Disgaea 1'' where he became known as Supreme Overlord (or "Tyrant") and was the one who was ultimately {{spoiler|responsible for King Krichevskoy's death; it was propaganda that blamed "black pretzels."}} In this game, he became a Prinny after his first defeat; it was assumed at the time that this was a reincarnation. Baal appears again in ''[[Phantom Brave]]'', this time taking the form of a Mushroom-esque monster, an Eringer/Funguy. It was assumed at the time that he had gone through his reincarnation period as a Prinny, yet retained his incredible strength. More of his true nature became known in ''[[Makai Kingdom]]'', Baal does not die when his body is killed, rather he merely finds other host bodies to inhabit and he is as old as the universe itself.. This became ''worse'' in ''Disgaea 2'' when he started getting more than one body. In ''Disgaea 3'', Baal has more of a storyline, he is stealing traits from various characters for some unfathomable reason. Expect lots and lots of [[Level Grinding]] to be anywhere near capable of fighting Baal, his HP tends to be in the millions.

 

 

Tropes associated with Baal

 

* [[Bonus Boss]]: Gained this position in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.

* [[Humongous Mecha]]: Prior to ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.

* [[It Only Works Once]]: His evility, Special Skill Solved, makes it so that any special move used on Pringer X in a battle cannot be used a second time for any damage. This includes when there are multiple bodies. (The immunity is then given to all of them.)

* [[Demoted to Extra]]: One of the most tragically hilarious cases ever.

* [[Determinator]]: She's tried ''how'' many times to get her own game already? And she shows no sign of slowing down.

* [[Failure Is the Only Option]]: Several fans have pointed out that if Asagi ever does get her own game, her main shtick goes 'poof'.

* [[Guns Akimbo]]

*** In the [[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]] manga, after leaving Laharl's employ after the fiasco with Etna, she's seen working at Netherworld City Hall, where Etna heads to try and get a title change to Overlord. When the title switch fails due to her not meeting any criteria, Etna contemplates trying to blackmail Pleinair, and we get this gem, which gets Etna to back down very quickly:

{{quote| Pleinair: How would you like to die socially? I'll delete you from all public records.}}

* [[Game Breaker]]: She has incredibly high dodging and hitting numbers. The latter also goes well with her high gun skills (since their damage is calculated by hit stats more than attack stats).

** In the first game, she can even become a [[Disc One Nuke]], if you get the [[New Game+]] at the earliest opportunity.
