Fail to the King! (Fanfic) | comment |
Fail to the King! is a Disgaea fanfic written by Varanus and based on the events of Disgaea 3: Absence of Justice. The plot’s gimmick is that it’s set after the alternate “Super Hero Almaz� ending, which features Almaz being crowned Overlord and Dean of Nether Institute by Mao’s father and then being abandoned by the rest of the group for various reasons. While it’s largely considered a gag ending by the fandom (you need to jump through a few hoops to get it instead of the normal ending and several characters act very OOC by abandoning Almaz), FttK takes the notion of Almaz being Overlord and runs with it, turning Almaz’s Downer Ending into a Sequel Hook.The story picks up a week later when Aria, a kunoichi and former vassal of Mao, is assigned by a mysterious benefactor to check up on Almaz and finds that he’s been stuck in a Heroic BSoD since the end of the game. One hilariously brutal Bright Slap later, Almaz gets his shit together and decides to get to work on this whole “being Overlord� thing. Unfortunately, he’s got a lot to learn and no time to learn it in, because a mysterious and powerful new foe has just breezed into town with dark designs for the academy and ambitions that span the multiverse... | |

Tempting Fate: Acknowledged by Jericho, who idly wonders "What Could Possibly Go Wrong??" at one point: Almaz also has a mild panic attack when he catches himself doing this during the first invasion, scolding himself for just making it worse. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_171ef47c | comment |
Not-So-Harmless Villain: At first, Monty seems like a joke because of his reference spewing going as far as getting his arms cut off for the sake of the routine. Then he gets bored and decided to actually start fighting. And keeps on fighting, even after they thought it was over. If Almaz wasn't so cunning, it would have ended much differently. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_178ca149 | comment |
The Worf Effect: According to Word of God, Chapter 15 deliberately invokes this to fully establish Phoenix as a threat, given the author's disappointment at how easily she was dealt with during her debut. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_19769f50 | comment |
Defeat Means Friendship: After being defeated by Almaz, Monty is willing to let him wield him. Subverted. Whatever Monty really is, he is NOT Almaz's friend as shown in Chapter 23. At best it views Almaz as just another thing to corrupt and tarnish. Subverted AGAIN when the real soul of the weapon is shown to actually rather like the kid. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_1b06aa41 | comment |
Villains Never Lie: Happens with Cinos. A lot. Such as commenting that he left Sapphire stranded in the hands of several demons. That is, in the Human World accompanied by Aurum and her demon wolf. As well as in Chapter 21, revealing he sent Aria to help Almaz at the start of the story, framing it as a "The Reason You Suck" Speech while neatly sidestepping the issue of her clear Undying Loyalty towards Almaz. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_38ad0e6a | comment |
Breaking Speech: Tav and Zenon play freaking ping-pong with these things during their battle in chapter 21; first with Zenon mocking Tav for thinking his despair could ever match hers, then Tav countering with a Kirk Summation... ...and immediately launching into his own "The Reason You Suck" Speech. Which is then turned right around and thrown back at him after Adell performs his own Dynamic Entry and Zenon admits that he's right. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_3c0a4666 | comment |
Noodle Incident: At one point, waking up in an unfamiliar room, Almaz idly remembers all the other times in the past that he's woken up in a strange room, wandering around in the middle of the night after somebody had stolen his pants, trying to avoid demons, only one time a Baciel spotted him and— At which point he re-suppresses the memory. Adell refuses to comment on what made him hate Monty Python, but it's somehow Axel's fault. | |

Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Taken literally with the Item Gods. Tav and Phoenix seem like the odd ones out, until you remember that -by Disgaea mechanics- a staff user's normal attack can only be used from one square away, while spear can attack from two. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_3e22702 | comment |
O.C. Stand-in: Several. Aria and several other vassals from Mao’s army are all based on the generic player units, and Cyprus is the Cu Sith that Sapphire summons for her Shunpo Moondance technique. The rest are all run-of-the-mill Original Characters. Same goes for the antagonists, only with slight adjustments. Cinos himself is a Heretic (male healer) wearing a cape/robe, Phoenix is a Valkyrie with gauntlets as well as greaves, Sienna was a Heavy Knight/Berserker and Tav is a mix between a Sinner from Disgaea 2 and a Brawler from Disgaea 3. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_40c57041 | comment |
Manipulative Bastard: Cinos has moments of this, especially when he lures Almaz into an ambush by baiting his love for Sapphire. Phoenix, on the other hand, seems to be a master of this, delivering a harsh "The Reason You Suck" Speech to an ally in order to nip a potential Heel–Face Turn in the bud. It's explictedly stated by The Emcompasser later that part of the reason he didn't want to work with Cinos was he enjoys deliberately withholding information until it suits his purposes to reveal it. And Cinos does exactly that after figuring out Rozalin is the reborn Zenon. | |

Gameplay and Story Segregation | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_6320eced | comment |
Gameplay and Story Segregation: Averted! Many of the gameplay elements Disgaea is best known for have actual effects in the story. Leveling, transmigration, mana and weapon skills have all seen use so far. The changes of personality generic units undergo when they transmigrate into a different class is explained as a sort of mental condition called Transmigrative Compulsive Disorder. Basically, the demons get so gung-ho about their new forms that they tend to only focus on what those forms do and lose their sense of self. Turns out, all you have to do to read someone's title is just look at them closely. The fic's best example of this trope? The villains of the story are not demons, but Item Gods. | |

Awesomeness by Analysis: Mao. In a flashback to the Almaz ending from his perspective, it's shown he actually calculates his attack patterns and enemy's predicted movements beforehand, right down to the angle his sword strokes make. Turns out, whenever he said 'My calculations were off a bit', he meant it. | |

Mental World | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_7b144404 | comment |
Mental World: Phoenix enters her own heart at one point, the inside of which is a Phantom filled white-hot iron city built atop a sun, floating in a starless abyss. This is directly contrasted to Mao's crystal wasteland in Disgaea 3. Apparently the trick to traversing these worlds is an Alternate Character Interpretation of whoever's heart you're in. Almaz's heart takes the form of an enormous city made of copper with a diamond replica of Rhodonite Castle at its center. | |

During the battle against Monty, when they were dueling in the Infinite Graves, Almaz wins by using Monty's own swords against him. Seeing as how Monty had previously described those swords as his soul, he basically saw it as a very brutal, humiliating 'Stop hitting yourself!' moment. No wonder Monty had to suppress a minor Villainous Breakdown when the attack ended. | |

Beat Them at Their Own Game: Almaz averts an early assassination attempt by Rasberyl by inviting them to breakfast and generally acting more polite than them, then calling them out and making them look rude for trying to kill such a gracious host. During the battle against Monty, when they were dueling in the Infinite Graves, Almaz wins by using Monty's own swords against him.

Homage | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_a1a1491e | comment |
Homage: Infinite Graves is already noted on the Disgaea page to be an Unlimited Blade Works reference but Almaz’s battle with Monty more directly references the Shirou vs Gilgamesh battle in UBW, with swords flying every which way and Almaz’s copied blades breaking with every use. Monty himself deliberately invokes the Black Knight skit from Monty Python and the Holy Grail during his fight with Almaz. Hilariously, Almaz actually calls him on it and makes a few references of his own before the fight ends. Monty, in his sword form, wraps himself in bandages in lieu of a sheath. Lampshaded by both him and Almaz. Almaz later on uses summoned swords like Nero from Devil May Cry 4. Pandora is a reference to both the Pandora's Box weapon from Devil May Cry 4 and to Black★Rock Shooter, the inspiration for her human form. | |

Evil Weapon: Sienna's cursed axe fits the description perfectly, and has displayed a disturbing habit of forcing its wielder to relive their memories. Mao seems to be able to suppress it to a degree. Mao even lampshades it when he sees it, because it "positively screamed evil". It's been revealed that it is in fact the Grand Madness, the ultimate axe weapon in Disgaea 3, and is slowly driving Mao (more) insane. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann and Dragnaut get references early on after Mao plunders Almaz’s DVD collection. Monty is a giant Monty Python reference-spewing machine. One of Almaz’s attacks is noted to rush toward its target “like the Death Master’s scythe�. Another mention later, of how Tav looms over somebody like the Death Master. A minor one, but in Axel's appearance on TV alongside Pleinair and her rabbit chew-toy Usagi, he calls Usagi 'Serena' by mistake. This exchange, right after Almaz and the D2 group become good friends: "This axe is an eyesore. This axe. This axe. This chair- I mean axe." Salvatore orders Mao to "use telekinesis to drag the sun's rays into a laser beam." Aurum laments being unable to fight in the shade because the arrows blotting out the sun produce their own light. So he produces his own shade. | |

Taking You with Me: Tink attempts this in Chapter 15. Later, Phoenix apparently succeeds with Almaz. | |

Hard Work Hardly Works | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_cc427069 | comment |
Hard Work Hardly Works: Played with. Jericho has spent his long lifetime transmigrating over and over to perfect his skill with the sword with the side-effect being a huge number of useful skills such as healing, sensing mana, Stealth Hi/Bye and the ability to create and manipulate Dimension Gates. These skills come in handy a lot in the story, but on the other hand, despite centuries of training every canon main character is still stronger than him despite the fact they've only been fighting for a few months, tops. | |

The Chessmaster | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Cinos is a villainous version of this. Interestingly, he’s clearly not a perfect Magnificent Bastard; he succeeds in isolating Sapphire and Aurum and trapping them in the human world and he lures Almaz and several of his vassals into a deathtrap, but he openly states later on that he didn’t count on them surviving and hooking up with the Disgaea 2 crowd. | |

Contrived Coincidence: One that affects both Almaz and Cinos when the story reaches Veldime. The scope of it goes over Almaz's head, but Cinos is not amused. | |

Chekhov's Gunman | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_dcbe8a6e | comment |
Chekhov's Gunman: Aurum vanishes several chapters in and goes on a quest to find his old heroic nature again. It’s a sure bet we’ll be seeing him again sooner or later. A slightly more meta version with Aurum: during the Almaz ending, you never see him leave the throne room... because he didn't. Also, Champloo vanished during the Almaz Ending and hasn't been seen in the Netherworld since... because he was taking a holiday in Rhodonite Kingdom. His first appearance has him giving critical advice to, ironically, Almaz's mother. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
The changes of personality generic units undergo when they transmigrate into a different class is explained as a sort of mental condition called Transmigrative Compulsive Disorder. Basically, the demons get so gung-ho about their new forms that they tend to only focus on what those forms do and lose their sense of self. | |

Fail to the King! (Fanfic) / int_eb7c34cf | comment |
Crossover: Word of God says all the Disgaea characters will be appearing sooner or later. Adell, Rozalin and a good chunk of the cast of Disgaea 2 have already made appearances. Gig is referred to offhandedly several times before eventually making his own appearance as well and Etoile features prominently in the backstory of one of the antagonists At least, that's what we're led to believe. | |
