Disgaea: Hour of Darkness is a Turn-Based Strategy game released by Nippon Ichi in 2003 for the PlayStation 2.Disgaea details the misadventures of a demonic Evil Overlord (in-training!) called Laharl and his quest to succeed his deceased father as the undisputed ruler of the Netherworld. His main allies in this are his devious number-one vassal Etna, a bubble-headed angel named Flonne (who was originally sent to assassinate him) and an army of exploding penguins called Prinnies. Hilarity Ensues.It was later ported to the PlayStation Portable as Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness, which added several of the gameplay improvements from Disgaea 2 and a brand new Alternate Timeline story called "Etna Mode" where Etna accidentally kills Laharl during the first chapter and decides to become the Overlord herself. It was also ported to the Nintendo DS as Disgaea DS, which removed most of the voice acting but added "Prinny Commentary" on most of the cutscenes. A PC port was also released on Steam on 25 Februrary 2016, with higher-res art, and the content from Afternoon of Darkness. The game would eventually gain direct sequels in the forms of the Visual Novel Disgaea Infinite and later Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness. A full HD remake entitled Disgaea 1 Complete was released on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch on July 26, 2018 in Japan and in October 2018 in the rest of the world. Complete was then ported to smartphones in 2020.Disgaea has also received a short anime adaptation called Makai Senki Disgaea.For more information on the characters themselves, check out the Disgaea Character Sheet. | |

Cute Witch: Apparently, Laharl's mother was one of these. Flonne could be considered one as well, though she's technically a trainee angel turned fallen angel. Laharl does mention that Flonne is like his mother; though he was referring to her talk of love and demeanor, they may be similar in other ways too. | |

However, demons have their own expression of it. Laharl and Etna are steadfastly against any form of complacency or taking an easy path to success. They gladly pick a fight with opponents even if the fight seems hopeless, value any Worthy Opponents for their strength, and will recruit (read: "vassalize") any strong persons they defeat. | |

Evil Versus Evil: Demons are nominally evil, at least most in the game consider themselves so. Most of the enemies in the game are other demons as well as a few other evil characters. It is not until the last fight of the main story that you fight anyone who is pretty much good. | |

Peninsula of Power Leveling | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_16972b3c | comment |
Peninsula of Power Leveling: Several. Which is a good thing, given the insanely high level cap. One level in particular is peppered with Succubi and Kit-Kats, and aside from one square at the far end of the map, everyone is invincible. So the trick becomes to lob the monsters onto one another, creating one much stronger femme fatale which can be trapped in the single vulnerable square and whittled down. An even more effective one is in the Cave of Ordeals — though you have to be pretty high-leveled already just to make it there. There are no invincibility squares, but the entire map is covered in a "+50% EXP" Geo Effect, and the nine monsters on the map (already of a class that grants the highest experience per level) are arranged in a convenient 3x3 clump for efficient disposal. Happy slaying! At the highest levels (mostly useful for embarking on a career of making maxed-out Divine Majins with 185,000 stored levels; not really that useful for regular play), Beauty of Evil. It can be cleared in 45 seconds if you're properly prepared, and in so doing, provides the highest XP-to-time ratio in the game. Since this is Disgaea, players have gotten BoE runs down to a mathematical formula for maxing out your characters as efficiently as possible. The PSP and DS remake gave us the Demonhall Mirror. Like Cave of Ordeals 3, this one had 9 Galactic Demons in a 3x3 formation. However, it has 2 EXP +50 effect and the monsters are of higher levels and tiers. However, you have to fight you way through several Optional Bosses such as a powerful Serpentine Dragon, Serra Winguard, The alt. Overlord, Laharl's dad's vassals, the Fallen Angel Vesuvius, and Adell and Rozalin before getting to the grinding first. The Alt. Overlord in episode 6 is a Hopeless Boss Fight until Laharl's servants pull their Big Damn Heroes to save the day. If you get lucky, though, you can have one of your units land the final blow on one of the level 75 clones, which will grant enough experience to level it up into the 30s, way above what one should be at this point in the game. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Mid-Boss/Vyers is actually Laharl's father. Although this is never stated outright in the game, there are several scenes that make it pretty obvious. Supposedly, the artbook confirms that it was actually Flonne who killed Laharl in the Kill Hoggmeiser ending. The game itself doesn't state it, but the background of the credits and the name of the song that plays appear to imply the opposite. | |

Unreliable Narrator | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_1869b4b1 | comment |
Unreliable Narrator: Etna's On the Next monologues. Subverted in Chapter 9, when the (highly unlikely) introduction of Captain Gordon, Defender of the Earth plays out exactly as foretold, and then Chapter 14, when Etna's too disheartened to make up more tall tales. | |

Defeat Means Friendship | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_19769f50 | comment |
The Defeat Means Friendship and Not Quite the Right Thing aspects are subverted against Vulcanus, who is convinced that his goals are selfless and benevolent, but he really just wants to Take Over the World. The party tries to convince him that he's wrong and to see it their way, but he absolutely refuses, even when beaten. He's never going to get it, which Lamington knew from the start. | |

(Laharl and Etna both yell Flonne's name at least twice apiece in the scene leading up to the final battle. Laharl gets one more in the good ending.) Prince!! (Title, not name, but close enough. Etna, in the good and normal endings, when Laharl is going to sacrifice himself for Flonne.) | |

Multiple Endings | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: At least eight endings, not counting the general Game Over screen. The Good Ending, which is canon: Laharl beats Lamington down, but stops before inflicting lethal damage, since Flonne wouldn't want him to, and begins to sacrifice himself to turn her back to normal. Mid-Boss stops him and reveals it wasn't a permanent transformation, after which Celestia and the Netherworld begin making steps towards peace. Reguires you not triggering any other ending. The Normal Ending: Laharl kills Lamington in a rage and then does sacrifice himself to turn Flonne back. Etna becomes the new Overlord and Laharl apparently shows up again... as a prinny. Requires one or more team kills. (This is also the setting of Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero?.) Item God 2 ending: Laharl nearafatally wounds Lamington and decides he is not ready to be Overlord yet, abdicating the throne to Etna and dedicating himself to Walking the Earth, at least for the time being. Requires you to have defeated the Item God 2 at the bottom of a level 40 item. Dark Assembly Ending: Laharl picks Flower Flonne and vanishes. Requires passing at least one hundred bills by force by the final level. Flonne Tragedy Ending: Laharl decides to go through with killing Hoggmeiser, but Flonne stops him with lethal force. Requires fifty team kills by the end of the third chapter and choosing to kill him. Maderas Ending: Maderas is killed instead of recruited, as well as Flonne when she tries to stop it from happening. Laharl follows before too much time passes. Requires one hundred team kills by the end of the fifth chapter and choosing to kill him. Human World Ending: Laharl takes a side trip before confronting the final boss and takes over the Earth instead. Requires unlocking the Human World map and defeating the last level. Mid Boss ending: Without intending to, Vyers defeats you in battle and decides to just run with it. Goleck: The Prinnies were talking about "multiple endings"... | |

The Prinnies know they don't stand a chance defeating Laharl in a battle for the title of Overlord, so they instead challenge him to a game of baseball. Laharl doesn't take it and simply orders Etna to kill them. The ensuing battle is a breeze. | |

Winged Humanoid: Flonne, though outside of one of her attacks, in which they spread out and grow, she's never seen actually flying with them. Etna also has wings, and in Disgaea 2, demonstrates that they actually grow to 3 times their normal size to allow for flight. Official art and a cutscene in Disgaea 2 also reveal that Laharl has a pair under the cape — and they're absolutely tiny. | |

Mythology Gag: In one of the On the Next segments, Etna is challenged to a cooking battle by a character named Dark Chef Hao. This is a reference to Nippon Ichi's early PS1 game, Cooking Fighter Hao. Amongst the phrases used by the Imps to weaken Laharl in Episode 5 is "Girls take initiative." This is Kururu's Catchphrase in Rhapsody: A Musical Adventure. | |

Bilingual Bonus | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_294ed981 | comment |
Bilingual Bonus: In the English localization, among the voice samples that were not dubbed were those of the Samurai and Ninja classes. Also, some random character names and some item names fall under this. Even before obviously nutty names were introduced in later installments, this game surprisingly had Russian (and possibly other) quite arbitrary words for names. You could get characters named Rubashka ("shirt"), Balalaika (a national music instrument), Mazurka (a Russian name for a Polish dance), Vodka (you know this one), and one of the emblem items was called "Pravda Necklace", which would be "Necklace of the Truth". | |

Lethal Joke Character: Scouts and Thieves. They have mostly low stats and aptitudes and poor weapon skills outside of Guns. But in the Item World, they shine. Scouts can use Dark Cannon to blast out-of-reach enemies from across the map and Geo Change to shift up troublesome Geo Panel set-ups, while Thieves can throw teammates farther than any other class to move them across the map quickly and they can use stealing items to grab rare and powerful equipment off of enemies for free. | |

Batman Gambit | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_38d02d44 | comment |
Batman Gambit: Seraph sending Flonne to assassinate Laharl's father, knowing he was already dead, but also trusting that she would stay with Laharl and redeem him, and Etna using Laharl as bait to get the better of a blackmailing vampire and then kicking his ass so hard, he begged to be her slave. Awesome. Laharl's challenge to strip him of his deed to the title of Overlord. He reveals to Etna that the deed doesn't exist and the whole thing is a ploy to draw out and defeat all would-be challengers so that his reign would be unquestioned. He pulls a similar stunt in the manga, challenging all would-be challengers to a tournament for the title. His challengers realize too late that he had the arena booby-trapped, taking out a good chunk of his opposition. | |

Just before that, Etna talks to Flonne about how some guy pissed her off, so in response, she "kicked him right there". | |

In fact, he's one of the few in the first Disgaea to be highly proficient with multiple weapons.note He has an A ranked proficiency with all melee-type weapons (Fists, Swords, Spears, and Axes) and even a bow. | |

Infinity -1 Sword | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_480c69ba | comment |
Infinity -1 Sword The top-tier Rank 40 weapons cannot be purchased in the shop or won from any stage. The only way to get them is to level a Legendary-rarity Rank 39 weapon to 100 and steal the Rank 40 weapon from the Item God at the bottom. Factor in the time to level the weapon up, the difficulty in descending that deep into high-rank items, and you'll be going through much of the game with the Rank 39s. Testament offers an overall boost to every stats, and is easilly alvailable from the Prinny God found on Prinny Land. Its stats boost make it a useful accesory to get and use even without leveling it on the item world, and its readilly alvailable after the midpoint of the game, making it one of the most useful accesory to use for much of the game, all the way until the best accesory items are finally alvailable most of which are from stealing off the many Optional Bosses. Class-wise, the Angel. 100% aptitude in all stats save for 110% Resistance, A-level skill with four weapon types and B-rank in a fifth, great base stats, and they naturally learn Heal spells up to Omega Heal, Espoir, and a tier of elemental spells up to Omega. They're unlocked much more easily than the Majin and can still kick a lot of ass until you unlock them. | |

Artifact Name: In Disgaea 1 Complete: Skulls were so-named for the full-head hoods they wore. Cyclopes, the first tier of Galactic Demons, actually had a single eye each comprising their faces. Come the Complete remake, their sprites have since been swapped with those from later games, with the latter becoming a completely different monster altogether, first tier known in other games as Baciel, while also retaining their original stats and abilities. Manty was originally a manticore, but his class was replaced with the Skeletal Dragon. | |

Many Dark Assembly bills have to be unlocked via Promotion Exams battles and reset every time a character reincarnates. Later games drop Promotion Exams and bills are instead unlocked based on progress or milestones. Healing spells are run off the Intelligence stat rather than the Resistance stat, making a Healer with magical pupils an intellectual force to be reckoned with. While the original PS2 version had Japanese and English audio options, this only applied to cut scenes. Battle voices defaulted to English voices with some humanoid classes remaining undubbed. Due to the game originally being localized by Atlus, many of the terms used in this game differ from later games in the series, which were localized by NISA. This includes "Transmigration" (Reincarnation) and "Specialists" (Innocents). Also in the original Atlus localization, there were two additional songs added to the English dub, Tsunami Bomb's "Invasion from Within" and "One With the Stars". None of the later games received additional songs and said songs would be absent in all later releases. Many classes introduced in the first game do not appear again or have different designs in later games. This is most notable when comparing the monster classes of Hour of Darkness and Afternoon of Darkness with the HD Remaster 1 Complete, which recycled many of the sprites from the HD-era Disgaea gamesnote Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, Disgaea D2: A Brighter Darkness, and Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance. The existence of multiple Netherworlds is presented as a big revelation. Subsequent games present the existence of multiple Netherworlds as common knowledge among demons. While a form of innate abilities did exist, they were only present on select humanoid classes with the majority of the humanoid classes, monsters classes, and even story characters being differentiated only by their aptitudes, weapon mastery rank, and skills. For the few that did have them (such as Magic Knight class' ability to cast low level magic after a normal attack), their abilities were only vaguely hinted at in the character creation menu. Starting with Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories, every character received an innate ability (later called Evility), which are clearly described on a character's status menu. There is a distinct lack of romance in this game compared to its successors (save its direct sequel), and any implied feelings don't go beyond simple teasing. Even as the main trio continue to make appearances in future games, how they feel towards each other is left deliberately unclear. | |

One level in particular is peppered with Succubi and Kit-Kats, and aside from one square at the far end of the map, everyone is invincible. So the trick becomes to lob the monsters onto one another, creating one much stronger femme fatale which can be trapped in the single vulnerable square and whittled down. | |

If by "disc one," you mean "the game proper." It's entirely possible to completely walk over the main game simply by using Laharl exclusively, building his sword skill and having him leveled well past the enemies, with occasional dips into Item World for Level Grinding and building up his items and specialists. Don't try this in the bonus content, though. | |

Safety in Indifference | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_553aaabe | comment |
Safety in Indifference: Demon Prince Laharl wakes up from a two-year sleep (more like coma) to find out that his father is dead and that he is now inheritor to the throne of Overlord. Angel Trainee Flonne tries to console him about his father's death, but he brushes it off like nothing, which horrifies her. Later, we learn that Laharl ignores his emotions — especially empathy and love — because of the pain of losing his mother when he was young.. Laharl actually cares a lot more than he lets on, but acts indifferent both because he hates the pain, and because he can't look weak as the Overlord. | |

Green Aesop: When Jennifer asks Laharl if he's really not planning to invade Earth, he replies, "Earth is that planet where humans foolishly pollute their own environment, right? Why would I be interested in that?" To further drive the point home, the Prinny commentary in the DS version adds, "Man, that's harsh. It's pretty much the end of it, if a demon says that about you." Carter justifies invading the Netherworld because mankind needs a new home when Earth becomes uninhabitable. Laharl's response? "Clean up your own damn mess!" You can't get more direct than that. | |

Magic Knight: The knight class — decent growth with swords and most stats, learns the first four levels of a randomly-chosen non-Star element, and will occasionally follow up a physical attack with a casting of a spell (any spell learned, either via level or by tutoring) in the same action. With the mentoring system, theoretically any physical fighter can become one as well. | |

Disc-One Nuke | |

Disc-One Nuke: If by "disc one," you mean "the game proper." It's entirely possible to completely walk over the main game simply by using Laharl exclusively, building his sword skill and having him leveled well past the enemies, with occasional dips into Item World for Level Grinding and building up his items and specialists. Don't try this in the bonus content, though. Flonne can be this as well, with good planning. By assigning her the right pupils, she can basically be a Prism or Galaxy Mage long before you could ever hope to unlock such a class. See Magikarp Power below. The Samurai class is the epitome of this. You can easily have it unlocked within the second hour of the game, and they are second only to Majin in terms of raw attack power. Not only that, but they are the easiest class to unlock with S in swords, spears, and axes. Arguably, the class is even more game breaking than Majin because of how easy they are to acquire, requiring only a level 10 female brawler and level 10 female warrior. Remakes from DS onwards let you recruit Pleinair as a pretty great, unique gunslinging unit upon reaching New Game Plus. It doesn't seem to be this, until you remember the game counts any Non-Standard Game Over as a proper ending, so you can get your hands on her by failing to beat the first boss of the game. All it costs is the eternal disgrace of losing a fight to Mid-Boss. | |

Also, some random character names and some item names fall under this. Even before obviously nutty names were introduced in later installments, this game surprisingly had Russian (and possibly other) quite arbitrary words for names. You could get characters named Rubashka ("shirt"), Balalaika (a national music instrument), Mazurka (a Russian name for a Polish dance), Vodka (you know this one), and one of the emblem items was called "Pravda Necklace", which would be "Necklace of the Truth". | |

Master of All | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_6ca52003 | comment |
Master of All: The Majin class. Very high stats all across the board, positive Aptitudes for all stats, very proficient with all weapons, and high mobility. There is no reason to use anything else when you have unlocked this class (though it requires a bit of a Guide Dang It!). The subsequent games Nerf this class severely, though. The second game reduces its mobility to the minimum, making it somewhat of a Mighty Glacier instead. The third and fourth games take it even further, giving it low aptitude above the low mobility, and no weapon proficiency, making the class require a lot of work to even be remotely playable. | |

Noob Bridge: If you've never played the game before, the first battle with Mid-Boss can be incredibly difficult because it's the first level where Geo Effects play a large role, as well as being the first level where you're supposed use the throwing mechanic. If you forget that you can toss your troops to the Geo Effects rather than trying to get there normally, most of your team will be dead before you get a second turn. | |

Noble Demon: Laharl, after some character development, in the anime and in the canon ending. He's still a brat, though. | |

Attack of the 50-Foot Whatever: The Overlord of the Alternate Netherworld, who is so big that only his foot is visible. When Laharl and Etna snark that he's too big to see if his boasts about his power are really true, he decides to split himself into several Doppelgangers to better represent his power. | |

Too Awesome to Use | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_7d561d58 | comment |
Too Awesome to Use: The DS and PSP re-releases add the ultimate Hand (stealing item), the Dream Hand. Hand success rate is based on HIT, and the Awesome hand, the best usually, maybe ballparks at just over 100 HIT without specialists and is Legendary Rare. Dream Hands ballpark at over 1500 HIT, almost always ensuring a successful steal and making them excellent for grabbing Legendary Rare top-rank items otherwise very difficult to grab. The catch? They have a range of one, forcing the Thief to get right next to their target to use them, and you can only get a handful on each playthrough of the story. | |

Absurdly High Level Cap | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_91526ff7 | comment |
Absurdly High Level Cap: Famously has one of the highest in any RPG ever, as all of your characters (of which you can have up to 128) can reach Level 9999 (for reference, the game's story can easily be beaten before you even hit triple digits). Oh, and they can reincarnate to give themselves better base stats, meaning you could feasibly keep levelling them up almost forever, though diminishing returns means there is an effective "soft" level cap. And all of their equipment can be levelled up (up to Level 100, for rare items). And all of the characters that live inside the equipment can ALSO be levelled up (depending on the type of character, up to 9999 as well). | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness | |

You Have Outlived Your Usefulness: In Chapter 5, Maderas does this to Etna after she unwillingly betrayed Laharl. Fortunately, she foresaw this and her counter-plan was set into motion. And near the finale, Lamington, as a reminder to the viewer that he truly is a badass, does this to Vulcanus by turning him into a flower as punishment for his sins (in Makai Senki Disgaea, he turned him into a frog) when Vulcanus gets a Villainous Breakdown upon finding out that he was an Unwitting Pawn and tries to kill him after he has served his purpose of bringing peace between Celestia, the human world, and the Netherworld. Serves that mad archangel right. | |

Artificial Stupidity | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_940a5958 | comment |
Artificial Stupidity: Enemies are willing to hit their allies if an attack will hit one of your units. This itself isn't so bad, except when they combine this mistake with making poor use of attacks that reposition targets, often as the first move in a series of attacks. This also applies to enemy healers, as they will sometimes heal your units. Additionally, specialists will suicide-charge their way into as many enemy units as possible, which contributes to Fake Difficulty in subduing them. | |

Chick Magnet: Laharl, at least in the light novels. He manages to attract Etna, Flonne, her sister Ozonne, and Gordon and Jennifer's daughter Jane. There's also Sakura, in an example of Defeat Means Friendship going a little bit too far. Even Pram is hitting on him. | |

You Never Asked: For most of the game, Jennifer is relegated to being The Smart Guy, Fanservice, and cheering from the sidelines. Once she's Mind Controlled and uses her Kung Fu skills on the main cast, Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth! asks her why she never told him about that before. He Never Asked. Though this is no surprise to the player unless they never used her once she joins the party. | |

Rounded Characters: Each of the three main characters got a great spectrum of emotions, possesses a wide variety of personality traits that that can be categorized as virtues, flaws and idiosyncrasies, struggles with internal conflict, learns and grows from their experience, got backstories and motivations that reinforces their behavior. Even the masterminds behind the plot get their fair share of hidden depth as well. | |

Boring Yet Practical: The first-level Fist ability, Triple Strike. 6 SP, first ability learned, knocks target back a square. Perfect for knocking Geo Symbols out of No Lift areas and Gatekeepers off the exit portal in Item World. Due to the way Item World leveling system works, the most effective way to slot in your item specialists are simply to put in as much stats boost specialists as possible, regardless of its level to a weapon and leveling them up. Stats boosting specialist offers bonus growth every 10 levels gained on an item from killing Item General, King, and God allowing item slotted in with multiple stats boosting specialist to skyrocket in stats. | |

| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_9d09bf1a | comment |
American Kirby Is Hardcore: Though none of the actual artwork changes, the voiceacting between English and Japanese gives very large differences in tone of character. Examples include Japanese Thursday being a oddly-cute sounding robot (voiced by a woman) while English Thursday is an instant badass (voiced by a man). It's then inverted when taking on the Alternate Overlord in Chapter 6 (Afternoon of Darkness); he sounds exactly the same from huge to small in Japanese; in English, he goes from a booming voice, to a multiple-helium-based voice. | |

Foreshadowing: When we first see Flonne, she says she wants to be like the flowers. There's a scene featuring Lamington and his mysterious cohort talking about Laharl's upcoming battle with Maderas, and the latter decides he'll intervene. Cue Mid-Boss showing up.... In Chapter 6 after Laharl has issued his challenge to be the Overlord, you might notice all of his father's vassals are missing... Sure enough, they're plotting to take the title for themselves but intervene when someone far above Laharl's ability challenges him. | |

Infinity +1 Sword | |

Infinity +1 Sword: The Rank 40 weapons, obscenely difficult to acquire as told above. Special mention to the Rank 40 sword Yoshitsuna, the strongest weapon in the game but very hard to get — the Rank 39 Cosmic Blade you need to level up to get it will have enemies hitting the 9999 level cap well before you reach the bottom, and the Item God you need to steal the Yoshitsuna from will be Level 9999 too, making it very, very hard to steal from. The Majin. 110% aptitude in all stats, 120% at higher levels, S-rank skill with all weapons, and huge base stats. The catch is unlocking them requires five specific jobs all in the party at once at Level 200. Once you do unlock them, aside from reincarnating as mages to learn spells, there's little reason to not reincarnate your entire team as Majin. | |

Prejudice Aesop: This aesop is a major underlying theme.

Flonne, whom has spent time in Laharl's company, effectively rebukes Vulcanus's claims during the final chapter. | |

Rage Against the Heavens | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_b82ca416 | comment |
Rage Against the Heavens: Laharl's plot to rule the Netherworld in Disgaea eventually extends to Celestia and in a silly optional side-quest, the Human World. Possibly subverted, as Celestia did attack first, after all. | |

What If? | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_bad22526 | comment |
What If?: Etna Mode in the two updated re-releases — what if Etna accidentally killed Laharl while trying to wake him up? On the one hand, this results in Vulcanus being killed without contacting the EDF, and thus the war that consumes the second half of the game never occurs. On the other hand, because it's Etna doing all the work, Laharl never undergoes the Character Development intended by Vyers and Lamington, and Flonne is probably going to head back to Celestia once Vulcanus is taken care of. So a bit of a mixed bag. | |

Sad Battle Music | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_bafac7bc | comment |
Sad Battle Music: Angel of Sorrow shows up during sad story moments, but it also plays during Chapter 8's battles, which is fittingly the saddest chapter in the entire game. | |

Brutal Bonus Level | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_be3e7584 | comment |
Brutal Bonus Level: Etna Mode in the remakes, especially if you play it via New Game Plus. Enemy levels start in the 70s, the same as the end-game enemies of the base game, but they rise very quickly, and in just a couple episodes you're going to be facing down Level 100+ enemies, and in the final episode, they're going to rise to Level 200+. | |

The Good Ending, which is canon: Laharl beats Lamington down, but stops before inflicting lethal damage, since Flonne wouldn't want him to, and begins to sacrifice himself to turn her back to normal. Mid-Boss stops him and reveals it wasn't a permanent transformation, after which Celestia and the Netherworld begin making steps towards peace. Reguires you not triggering any other ending. | |

Elemental Tiers: The various tiers of Dragon and Great Wyrm monster classes have many variants of skills that differ only in the element. For the Dragon class, each tier learns different combinations of elemental skills, although only the weakest one learns any Wind. For the Great Wyrm class, the first tier learns Fire skills, the second one learns Wind, and the third Ice. The fourth and fifth are Non-Elemental, and the sixth and final tier learns Fire again. | |

The Chessmaster | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_d62dd556 | comment |
The Chessmaster: Seraph Lamington. Towards the end of the game, he shows just how intelligent he really is as the game reveals that many of the events in the story are essentially a intricate Batman Gambit to bring peace between Celestia and the Netherworld. Cunning enough to even use the plots of his treacherous renegade second-in-command to his advantage (and dispose of the traitor). Even his battle with Laharl was part of his plan (how well this works depends on the ending). A rare example of a non-evil chess master. And, by extension, Vyers Mid-Boss, Lamington's co-conspirator in this. He even includes My Death Is Only The Beginning in his part of the plan. | |

Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": "From now on, your name is Mid-boss!" Notably, everyone in the game calls him that after that scene, and his name in dialogue boxes changes as well. (At one point, he accidentally calls himself mid-boss.) Though in a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, when Laharl runs into him when storming Celestia, Laharl calls him the Dark Adonis, presumably on purpose. | |

Pet Monstrosity | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_ea22de4b | comment |
Pet Monstrosity: Episode 7 involves helping a kid find his pet zombie. Etna also kept zombies as pets when she was a child. Given Laharl's reaction, it's still very weird for a demon to have zombies as pets (and he only knows Etna and Aramis had them). | |

Big Damn Heroes | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_eb81c601 | comment |
The scene actually spoofs itself — Kurtis's Big Damn Heroes moment is instantly undermined by his newfound status as a Prinny, and he nearly gets laughed off the stage by the heroes before they finally accept his help. | |

Take Over the World | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_ec0bf4a1 | comment |
Take Over the World: Much of the game's missions surround various characters' attempts to take control of the Netherworld - Laharl (who succeeds), Carter, and Vulcanus all attempt it, in addition to an unnamed demon from a different Netherworld, Prism Red, and Laharl's own retainers. Also, the ending for completing the Human World ends with Laharl deciding to take over the Earth after all. | |

Japanese Spirit | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_eef00c27 | comment |
Japanese Spirit: The Power of Love and The Power of Friendship are Anviliciously repeated throughout the story, and is what unites and eventually motivates the protagonists (even if Laharl doesn't want to believe it). However, demons have their own expression of it. Laharl and Etna are steadfastly against any form of complacency or taking an easy path to success. They gladly pick a fight with opponents even if the fight seems hopeless, value any Worthy Opponents for their strength, and will recruit (read: "vassalize") any strong persons they defeat. Nowhere is it demonstrated better than in the battle against Kurtis, where the characters specifically wait for Kurtis to give his life story so that they can compare how their ideals match up to his. Captain Gordon (Defender of Earth!) even states that Kurtis was fighting for what he believed was right, but that it was Not Quite the Right Thing. Upon being defeated, Kurtis says he feels the "Defender Spirit" within Gordon and makes a Heel–Face Turn, followed by a Heroic Sacrifice. Also demonstrated in the last battle the party has against Mid-Boss, who is uncharacteristically serious during this battle and specifically fights them to "test their resolve". After losing, he gracefully bows out, but not before reminding them of everything they learned on their journey. The Defeat Means Friendship and Not Quite the Right Thing aspects are subverted against Vulcanus, who is convinced that his goals are selfless and benevolent, but he really just wants to Take Over the World. The party tries to convince him that he's wrong and to see it their way, but he absolutely refuses, even when beaten. He's never going to get it, which Lamington knew from the start. | |

Stone Wall | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_f62cc38a | comment |
The PSP and DS remake gave us the Demonhall Mirror. Like Cave of Ordeals 3, this one had 9 Galactic Demons in a 3x3 formation. However, it has 2 EXP +50 effect and the monsters are of higher levels and tiers. However, you have to fight you way through several Optional Bosses such as a powerful Serpentine Dragon, Serra Winguard, The alt. Overlord, Laharl's dad's vassals, the Fallen Angel Vesuvius, and Adell and Rozalin before getting to the grinding first. | |

Murder Is the Best Solution | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_f6b30338 | comment |
Murder Is the Best Solution: Passing bills in the Dark Assembly is not a simple matter of just winning a majority vote; you have to win by a margin greater than the mana cost of the bill you're trying to pass. For the larger bills, this ranges from difficult to flat-out impossible, particularly as many have penalties that make normally neutral senators dislike the bill proposed, and there's no way you can win by 1000+ votes. The only way to get a bill passed once it is voted against is to kill off the opposing senators. Unlocking all the optional areas and getting your party's power to the highest limit will require you to regularly mass-murder senators in order to pass your bills by force. | |

Purposely Overpowered | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_f89f164a | comment |
Purposely Overpowered: The Majin class. They have 110% aptitude in all stats, 120% at higher tiers, S-rank with all weapons, and their first tier form has stat growth rivaling the highest tiers of other classes. However, unlocking it requires five specific jobs at Level 200 and all in your party at the same time, and the cost to transmute a character into one is huge. | |

Shoo Out the Clowns | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_f97b5d33 | comment |
Shoo Out the Clowns: Lampshaded in the DS version: During the New Game Plus, the Prinny commentary stops during really emotional scenes, usually prefaced with something to the tune of "I'll shut up for awhile." It's back as soon as the dialogue turns goofy again. At the end of chapter 13, Etna's 'next episode' preview is completely serious and accurately describes the upcoming event, instead of the goofy and wildly inaccurate scenarios she usually predicts. The others find this utterly terrifying. When you encounter Vyers at the entrance to Celestia, Laharl calls him "Dark Adonis" instead of "Mid-Boss" as usual, recognizing that the guy may be more than he seems. | |

The Power of Friendship: Towards the end of the game, a force field needs to be broken past, the happy-go-lucky Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth! and his team are ready to go with this, Laharl and his crew (sans Flonne, who's even more enthusiastic than Captain Gordon, Defender of Earth!) all sound like they're being made to go take Piano lessons or something. It works anyway. | |

Hopeless Boss Fight | |
| Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (Video Game) / int_fc07d409 | comment |
The Alt. Overlord in episode 6 is a Hopeless Boss Fight until Laharl's servants pull their Big Damn Heroes to save the day. If you get lucky, though, you can have one of your units land the final blow on one of the level 75 clones, which will grant enough experience to level it up into the 30s, way above what one should be at this point in the game. | |
