=== Characters for specific games: ===
* [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness
* [[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories
* [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice
* [[Disgaea 4 a Promise Unforgotten
=== Characters that appear in multiple games in the ''[[Disgaea]]'' series: ===
Line 20:
* [[Death of a Thousand Cuts]]: Their standard attack is slicing at the opponent multiple times for multiple hits. Because of this, they don't always do very much damage to the opponent unless properly leveled and equipped.
* [[The Ditz]]: With some exceptions, Prinnies seem to lose a lot of IQ points upon becoming one.
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Fastball Special]]: They blow up upon impact (but can easily get better).
* [[Immortal Life Is Cheap]]: Since "reviving" a prinny involves little more than stuffing them into a new prinny suit, it's impossibly cheap (1 HL) to bring back even the strongest prinny -- which is partly why their bosses have no issue with abusing them to their hearts content.
Line 27:
* [[Mascot Mook]]
* [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot]]
* [[The Other Darrin]]: [[Grant George]] did the voice for the Prinnies from [[Disgaea Hour of Darkness]] to [[Makai Kingdom]]. Starting with [[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]], [[Dave Wittenberg]] took over as the voice actor of the Prinnies until [[Trinity Universe (
** Averted in Japanese, where their sole voice actor is Junji Majima, [[Hey, It's That Voice!|he of]] [[Toradora
* [[Player Mooks]]
* [[Series Mascot]]
Line 34:
* [[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.
** In ''[[
{{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''.
Line 45:
''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.
Notably, Baal was absent from ''[[Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku]]''; in fact, [[Bonus Boss|Valv]][[Makai Kingdom|oga's]] description states that he [[Did You Just Scam Cthulhu?|conned Baal out of the]] [[Bonus Boss]] position. Nevertheless, Baal's made his appearance as a Bonus Boss in ''Prinny 2'' and has made his mainstream Disgaea return as a DLC Bonus Boss in ''[[
Tropes associated with Baal
Line 67:
* [[Multiversal Conqueror]]
* [[Serial Escalation]]: Baal takes the concept of the overpowered Bonus Boss. Progressively more so in each installment.
* [[The Speechless]]: With the exception of [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]], [[Visible Silence]] and battle grunts are his only form of communication.
* [[Villains Out Shopping]]: His appearance as DLC in Disgaea3 has appear at Evil Academy applying for a job.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: In all his appearances, his attacks all consist of summoning giant swords.
Line 74:
'''Pringer X'''
Take all the stats of Baal; and take out [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere|any plot description]], and you get Pringer X. A Robot Prinny who tends to be even stronger than Baal and has slowly phased him out as final [[Bonus Boss]] in the series. Originally based on a [[Lethal Joke Character|joke]] Etna made in her [[Never Trust a Trailer|fake trailers]] in ''[[Disgaea Hour of Darkness]]'', Pringer X nevertheless made an actual appearance in ''[[Makai Senki Disgaea]]'' Episode 8, and became a true Bonus Boss in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''. While Etna has made cheap knockoffs in the [[Prinny Can I Really Be the Hero
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Gained this position in ''[[Phantom Brave]]''.
* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: He's only had plot description ''twice'' in the series: once in [[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]'s remake, where he was created by several of the bonus characters, and in [[
* [[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.)
Line 91:
Tropes Associated with Asagi:
* [[A Day in
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Her full name, as shown in both [[Prinny Can I Really Be the Hero]] and it's sequel, is Asagi Asagiri.
* [[Bonus Boss]]: Specifically, the one Bonus Boss who has appeared in ''every'' NIS game since her initial appearance. Not even the mainstays like Laharl or Baal can boast this.
** Except in [[La Pucelle|La Pucelle: Ragnarok]].
* [[Break the Cutie]]: Asagi seems to be getting increasingly insane with each game she shows up in that isn't hers.
** {{spoiler|[[Divide
* [[Character Development]]: By the end of ''[[Prinny 2|Asagi Wars]]'', {{spoiler|while she realizes that she failed to become the main character, she cherishes her friendship with Flonne and saves the Netherworld by launching [[Heroic Sacrifice|herself into the incoming battleship Yoshitsuna]] and by doing so gets her body back}}.
** [[Character Rerailment|She is back to her old self in the sequential NIS games though]].
* [[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.
* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: In ''[[
* [[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]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Her Japanese voice actor switches with almost every appearance. Among those voice actors include [[Kana Ueda]], [[Chiwa Saitou]], and [[Kaori Mizuhashi]].
** Her English voice actor is [[Wendee Lee]] in all except two of her appearances. [[Lara Jill Miller]] provides her voice in [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]] and [[Laura Bailey]] provides her voice in [[Disgaea Infinite]].
* [[Hostile Show Takeover]]: She figures if she can beat the main characters of the various games, she'll prove herself worthy of being a main character. Unfortunately, the inverse also holds - if she's gotten beaten seven times by a ''Prinny''...
* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: Happens to her in Disgaea 4. That game uses HD sprites by default, but Asagi doesn't have one, and looks decidedly odd next to the other characters. An HD Asagi is free DLC, however.
Line 111:
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: Her fur-trimmed jacket in some of the games.
* [[Split Personality]]: Hinted at in her various appearances, but manifests itself most obviously in Prinny PSP.
* [[Throw the Dog
* [[Weapon of Choice]]: She's most commonly portrayed with a pair of handguns, but she's been known to supplement her arsenal with a bazooka and a [[Epic Flail|flail whose head is as big as she is]].
** The other two weapons originated from [[Makai Kingdom]], the game in which she made her debut.
Line 125:
* [[Beware the Nice Ones]]: Moreso in art that may or may not be canon. While it's by the original artist, but doesn't quite fit with the canon, although eating Usagi isn't exactly very nice.
** When recruited as [[DLC]] in ''[[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]], Mao is scared of her or rather her legion of fans.
** As is Adell when recruited as [[DLC]] in the [[Updated Rerelease]] of ''[[Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories]]''. She is considered in the game as invincible as simply touching her would enrage the fanbase.
** Adell also appears to be a member of the fanbase.
*** 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.}}
* [[Cute Mute]]: She actually did get a voice in her DLC in [[Disgaea 3 Absence of Justice]] and [[
* [[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.
