Disgaea
It's like I'm tied up tight by the sighs of love.
I can't break free no matter what spell I try.
Tranquil eyes that conceal sorrow behind them...
...throw my heart into turmoil more than they ought to.
You mean more to me than I do,
...even though we both refuse to admit to our feelings.
You're the one for me. I don't care if you're a demon.
Oh, this is a miracle that I've stumbled upon.
Even these wounds that never fade, even this profound karma.
Oh, I'll give you my love.
Time and again, no matter where you are.
I'll give you my love.
The Sleeping Prince in the Garbage Dump
Is anyone home?
Ouch...
Ew, it smells in here...
What is this place, a garbage dump? W-Where's the exit?
This is it, no doubt about it! It has the Overlord's crest on it!
Finally! At long last I've found it, Seraph Lamington!
Thank you for your guidance!
Now, it is finally time for me to carry out my mission!
I'm gonna give it everything I've got!
Prinpretty pripannica!
Holy Arrow!
Uh-oh, it looks like I have a ways to go... In that case!
Hup!
Okay, then!
Who goes there?!
What suicidal fool dares disturb the sleep of the mighty Laharl?!
Oh, dear.
Where the hell am I?
I think it's some kind of garbage dump.
Garbage?! I could've sworn I was in the Overlord's Castle...
Hey, wait a minute. Were you the one who woke me up?
Yes. Um, I'm sorry for disturbing you while you were resting.
I'm Flonne, an assassin dispatched from Celestia!
What?
Well, like I said, I'm an assassin named Flonne.
You're an angel?
Actually, I'm just an Angel Trainee.
A lowly angel in training thinks she can assassinate me?!
No, that's not quite right! I had the wrong person!
Er, make that the wrong demon!
Come again?
If you don't mind my asking... Did you just say that your name was Laharl?
The one and only! I am the mighty Laharl!
Oh, I knew it! I had the wrong person!
But that coffin had the crest of the Overlord on it,
...so I assumed that King Krichevskoy was sleeping inside.
YOU MORON!
King Krichevskoy is my old man!
He's your father?!
So let me get this straight. A flunky like you came here to assassinate the Overlord?
Right!
Well, he is a weakling, so it's no surprise that Celestia doesn't think much of him.
Um, to be perfectly honest, I think that assassination is a terrible thing.
But I was told that it was of vital importance for both the Netherworld and Celestia.
You are such a moron.
Even when you yourself don't agree with something,
if somebody tells you to do it, you go, "Sir, yes sir!"?
So, Celestia's full of lapdogs like you, huh?
It went out.
Are you okay?
Don't touch me!
What the hell? I've got no strength...
You don't seem to be feeling well.
I'll use a restoration spell to make you feel better!
Prinpretty Pripannica!
Be restored, strength of love!
Love, you say? Love is for losers!
Don't you ever say the word "love" in front of me!
Hey, this is the ancestral crypt of the Overlords. What was I doing in a place like this?
What's going on?
W-Wait for me!
That hurt...
King Krichevskoy has passed away?!
What?!
Oh, I've seen this castle before! I saw it when I first came down to the Netherworld!
Gimme!
There was smoke and fire everywhere.
What's this?! He died two years ago?!
But he was alive and kicking right before I lay down for my nap!
So I've been asleep for two years?
I've been searching for two whole years, too.
I'm a little amazed that you didn't know, and not in a good way.
Darn it, and here I thought that I'd finally found the castle...
This isn't the castle! It's a crypt.
That first castle you saw was the Overlord's Castle.
You're pretty dense, aren't you?
Where are you going?
Back to the castle! This is wrong! It's all wrong!
It says here, "The great Overlord met a tragic end..."
"...when he choked on a Dumpling of the Damned."
My old man was a fool, right up to the very end!
That weakling!
You shouldn't laugh! It's cruel!
Excuse me?
I mean, you'll never, ever see your father again!
Yeah, what about it?
It's so mean! It's so sad!
Should a girl who came here to assassinate my old man be saying stuff like that?
This and that are two entirely different things.
Aren't you sad?
Nope. Not one bit.
That can't be true.
When you lose a loved one or something that's precious to you,
I think you're supposed to cry!
I think you're supposed to be heartbroken!
I don't understand a single word you're saying.
But why?
What do you mean, why?! 'Cause I'm a demon, that's why!
Do you mean to say that demons don't know what it's like to feel sad?
Nope.
If that's true, then demons don't know what it's like to feel love, either?
Sadness is made possible because of love!
Exactly! Demons don't feel love, either!
But that's... That's so sad!
I'll never, ever acknowledge love as anything but worthless!
You bastard... Do you have any idea who I am?
You're Laharl, legitimate heir to King Krichevskoy.
I didn't expect you to wake up.
What?
Violence is never the answer! Let's talk this out!
Quit butting in with your mindless yammering!
I doubt you have any strength left to fight!
Are you all right?
My body isn't doing what I tell it do...
Disgaea
What the hell is that?
How cool!
You think so?
The emissary of justice who endlessly fights the good fight to safeguard peace on Earth!
Who the hell are these irritating fools?
Don't interrupt!
The rule for the villain is that he hears the hero out while he makes his entrance speech!
Don't assume that I'm the villain here!
Captain Gordon, 37th Defender of Earth, has arrived!
Earth, huh?
Amazing! That was so cool!
Thank you, fair maiden! Have no fear, Captain Gordon is here!
You two aren't hurt, are you?
You're safe now, we've taken care of those two scary demons.
We're here to rescue you. Now, climb aboard our spaceship.
What's the matter?
Stay away from me!
Keep that freakishly voluptuous body away from me!
Laharl, what's the matter?
Oh, I understand now! You're going through puberty, aren't you?
My body is completely different from your girlfriend's, so it's no wonder.
Who are you calling my girlfriend, you insolent wench?
Laharl, hang in there!
Laharl, your weakness isn't voluptuous bodies, is it?
Still, it would be terrible if these tremors developed into something serious.
Thursday, run a diagnosis.
ROGER. NOW SCANNING IN MEDICAL MODE.
CHECK COMPLETE. POISON DETECTED IN SUBJECT'S BODY.
Poison?
Poison?! Was it you?!
I would never do such a cowardly thing!
Wait right here! I'll get the first aid kit!
That's all right! I'll cast an antidote spell!
Spell?
What a warm, gentle light...
Miss, what in the world was that power you just used?
I'm Flonne, an Angel Trainee.
An angel, you say?
Oh, so we saved the life of an angel!
This is Laharl! He's a demon prince!
You're saying that this boy is a demon?!
Now I see! We interrupted you and those monsters...
...as you were about to attack this helpless little angel girl!
Don't be stupid!
Oh, that's wonderful! The poison's gone!
Laharl!
How rude!
Oh, my!
Oh!
DANGER! DANGER! SEXUAL HARASSMENT!
That's weird.
What is?
Thanks to that flat chest of yours, I don't feel like barfing anymore.
I'm glad that I could help!
Hands off the angel, foul demon!
Angel, come over here! Hurry!
COME, COME! HURRY OVER TO US!
Hey, human!
What do you want, vile fiend?!
Hey, that hurt!
The Netherworld belongs to me! I won't stand for this invasion!
What invasion? I came here to vanquish demons!
Jennifer! Thursday! Begin formation!
Roger!
Now, taste the fierce attack of justice!
Oh, shut up!
I'm back! I'm back in action!
Now that's the power I'm used to!
What have you done?
Laharl! Violence is never the answer!
This was just a misunderstanding! We could have worked it out by talking!
Look, your job is done, so go back to Celestia.
After all, my old man's dead. All you have to do is take credit for it.
It's wrong to lie!
Have it your way, then. I'm going back to the Overlord's Castle.
It's gone! Gone! My pendant is missing!
Laharl, have you seen my pendant?!
Nope.
I got that pendant from the Seraph himself...
Without that pendant, an Angel Trainee like me can't stay in the Netherworld for long!
I was only able to search for the Overlord these past two years...
...because I was under that pendant's protection!
If I can't find it, all my strength will be sapped away by the Netherworld, and I'll die!
Sounds good to me.
It'll save me the trouble of killing you myself.
But if you really, really need it, I could help you look for it if the price is right.
Really, you will?! Then please! Help me look!
Oh, dear... What happened to all the spending money I was given?
If you're gonna ask a demon for a favor, you better have some money on hand.
Wait! Laharl!
Curse that demon! He looked like a child, so I let my guard down! But not next time!
Thursday, where did you get that pendant?
I FOUND IT.
BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP.
It's not here...
Or here! Or here! Or here! Or here! Or here!
I can't find it!
What am I gonna do? If I don't find it, I'm gonna disappear...
Would you give it a rest?!
It wasn't...
Laharl!
I guess you're not the only one who doesn't know when to quit.
He isn't fighting like he was before!
Of course I'm not! You're facing the real Laharl this time!
Answer me. You were surprised when you saw me awake, weren't you?
What do you know?
Were you the one who poisoned me?
Answer me, or you get this.
Wait! I'll talk, so don't! Spare me, I'll tell you anything you want to know!
Then start talking!
Moron.
That was terrible, Laharl! You said that you would spare him!
You try to solve everything with violence...
What you do tramples all over love!
There's that "love" again... I've had it up to here with that love fixation of yours!
Your way of thinking causes terrible disasters in both Celestia and the human world.
I might rot away soon.
But I will use every ounce of strength I have to assassinate you!
I thought you it was my old man that you wanted to assassinate!
No, I changed my target just now!
This oughta be good. Let's do it.
I'm sick of you and your stupid Love Freak crap!
Here goes! Durian Dragon Dranyago!
Hey! We both know you're no match for me, but that's no excuse not to fight me yourself!
You call yourself an angel?! This is cheating!
Okay, dragon! Go get that demon who denies the value of love!
Whatever! Come get some!
Ah, there he is!
If people ever notice the cycle of time on this world where blue skies come and go,
something's bound to happen when people with different outlooks get together.
Will we be buried by our desires? Will love come and save the day?
Either way, it doesn't matter to me. I'm gonna do as I please.
Light and shadow, egoists for whom everything in the world has meaning,
every little fragment lives his life with the balance on their shoulders.
Doing whatever we want, having it exactly the way we want it.
Right now, under the same sky,
light and shadow repeat again and again.
Chain react...
