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.
And that's when I lost it!
So I hauled off and planted my boot right in his you-know-whats!
You-know-whats?
By that, I mean his...
You know, those!
Oh, I see! Um, what are those?
Okay, I'll just show you!
Sheesh, Highness! What was that for?!
Be quiet!
I listen in on what you're mumbling about, and what do I hear? Stupid nonsense!
Oh, you were listening to that part I was whispering?
Every last word!
The Prince has some stupefyingly sharp ears.
Who are you calling stupid?!
Wow, he really can hear you! That's amazing!
Anyway, I don't want you talking about idiotic crap behind my back from now on!
Is that clear?!
I love yuie flowers.
They're simple, but bright and cheery, and they always make me feel happy.
I bet that the yuie are blooming all over Celestia right about now.
Uh, hello?
Yikes, I guess this is a literal case of somebody having a head full of flowers.
What?! What's the matter?
When I pictured all those yuie flowers, the Seraph's face popped into my head!
Ah-ha! I bet he did something nasty to you! Right, Flonne?
Something nasty?
Like bullying you, for instance! Or punishing you!
Or torturing you!
Y-You're joking!
Seraph Lamington is a kindhearted man who loves flowers and poetry!
The Seraph is a person who has my undying respect.
I admire him so much!
Etna, do you have anyone that you respect like that?
King Krichevskoy, I suppose.
Well, it's less like "respect" and more like he's the standard I aim for.
Hey, Etna! So does that mean that you don't respect me?!
Yes.
And you call yourself my vassal?!
Well, more or less.
Enough of this! I'm tired! I intend to rest!
Rest? Where, you mean here?
Moron! The next Overlord can't possibly sleep outdoors!
Take me to an inn!
Uh, Highness, there are no inns anywhere around here.
There has to be something. Find one.
I can look, but that won't change anything.
Prinny Squad!
Hey, wait just a minute, Highness! Why are you calling them?
Your vassals are my vassals.
In other words, my vassals' vassals are my vassals, too.
Get out here, Prinny Squad!
You bellowed, dood?
Take me to the nearest inn!
There aren't any inns.
But there is something that's sorta inn-ish.
This way, dood!
Party of three!
Welcome to the Netherworld Hall of Treasures
What's this place?
This place is even recorded in Netherworld Tales of Times Now Past,
and has instilled fear in all since time immemorial, dood!
It's said that the late Overlord Krichevskoy used to...
...secretly come here to this legendary place, dood!
This mysterious castle that was built right into the side...
...of Atamee Hell Valley is protected more heavily today than it ever was!
This smells fishy.
You think so? I'm so excited!
I don't like the fact that my old man used to come here,
...but I've decided to stay here tonight, so you'd best be grateful.
Welcome, honored doods!
Atamee Valley... It's a Hell Valley...
Welcome to the Netherworld Hall of Treasures!
Oh, wow!
What a lovely, sweet sound that has! "Hall of Treasures"!
The Hall of Treasures is recorded in the Netherworld Tales of Times Now Past, and...
Spare me the tour book lecture. I already heard that story.
What's this?
Well, sir, that's...
Dood, no!
This will do! I'll sleep on this.
Sir, you can't! That bed is a display item!
Highness, you shouldn't touch the display items!
You're just supposed to look, dood!
Silence! I said that I'm gonna sleep on this!
In that case, have a pleasant rest, everyone.
What do you suppose this is?
This panel has lots of buttons!
Let's try hitting a few! Click!
Neat!
Hey, cut that out!
Next, I'll try this button! Click!
Damn it, stop... Ugh, I don't feel so good...
Extra! Extra!
Read all about it!
Extra!
What's the big idea?! Do you want His Highness to find out what I'm up to?!
Hey.
What were those leaflets about?
Oh, it's no big deal.
Show me one.
Oh, they're just a plain old extra newspaper edition.
Just shut up and show me one!
Why, it's a leaflet proclaiming the comeback of Overlord Laharl!
How can you say that this is no big deal?
Oh, don't be silly, Highness! What I said was, "This is SO a big deal!"
That's what you said?
Yes, sir!
If you say so. I'm tired, so I'm going to bed.
I'm also sleepy, so I'm gonna turn in!
Good night!
Wow, they fall asleep fast!
The one who ordered the Prinnies to plaster flyers all over the Netherworld...
...proclaiming the Prince's return was none other than me!
All the demons who are vying for the throne will see them, learn that the Prince is back,
...and try to kill him.
The Prince will tragically be killed, and in the ensuing confusion,
...the person who will plant her fanny on the throne will be me!
Flonne, I see that you have thoroughly ingratiated yourself with these demons.
I must say, this is exactly how I imagined a demon's den would look...
This place positively reeks of wickedness.
T-This is a deed that defies the laws of God and man!
O Lord, forgive me! Grant salvation unto this girl!
I slept like a log...
W-What the...?
Good morning...
Yo, Highness!
Did you sleep well, Laharl?
Are you all right?
What's your problem? I swear, you're such a spaz.
Disgaea
Boy, I'm starving. I wanna chow-down-on-some-thing!
Stop this!
Oh, you're doing the morning cleaning?
You're such hard workers, everyone. Let me help you!
Hey, you! Quit yer dawdling and get to cleaning!
Flonne, there was no call for that!
Flonne, violence is never the answer!
Are you all right?
That's mean!
You're acting like a demon!
None of you are hurt?
Doods, I'm so happy! I've never been treated so kindly by Lady Etna before!
It's only natural to lend a helping hand to those in need, right?
After all, it's love that makes the world go round!
And on the other hand, we have this one...
She's a brute!
A brutal brute!
She's terrible!
Quit your griping and get back to work!
Flonne, what did you go and do that for?!
Now I get it.
It looks like the Love Freak angel and the smartass demon have swapped personalities.
But when did it happen? And how?
That's because this is the Treasure Hall.
What?
I just said, it's because this is the Netherworld Treasure Hall.
Huh?
Everything that has happened did so because this is the Netherworld Treasure Hall!
Laharl! Flonne! Please fall in!
I'm now going to show you around the Treasure Hall!
In this room, various rare items, antiques,
...and treasures of every kind of the Netherworld are on display!
Treasures of every kind?! Treasures?
From the left, we have a white-hot, blinding horn!
The cold sweat of a dragon!
The evil nose ring of a demon bull!
The tail of an obstinate lizard!
And last, but not least!
Here we have a bronze bust of a demon...
...that is said to dispense your bad fortune if you put in a coin!
Now, put in a coin and make your fortune!
Your fortune! Get it?!
Come on, let's get going! This is stupid!
No, seriously! Insert a coin!
Highness, wait for me!
I'm so sorry! I couldn't get anyone to insert a coin, so you don't have any lines.
And now, to change things up a little, this is the Game Corner!
What's the deal? Every last one of 'em is broken!
(Live!) Whack-A-Prinny This game is working just fine!
(Live!) Whack-A-Prinny
One by one, the cute little Prinnies will stick their heads out of these holes!
With that in mind, please hit them gently.
Eat this!
Yahoo!
No, Flonne, don't! Hit them gently!
Please, I think you should stop! Look at the poor Prinnies!
Okay, Highness, it's time for you to tap in...
What's the big idea?!
Highness, c'mon!
Insolent wench!
Take this!
O Lord, Laharl is putting himself at risk for the sake of these Prinnies...
I'm so touched!
In this next game, you move the figures by pushing and pulling these handles.
See?
Yay! That looks like fun!
- Final showdown, take two! - Final showdown, take two!
Take him down!
That's my line!
I'm exhausted...
Aw, but I had hoped to show you the Famous Suicide Spot Corner...
...and the Secret Hot Springs Corner!
Not interested!
Hey, guide chick! What's this supposed to be?
Um, let me see... It's called a "double-tongued clam".
It's a peculiar clam whose two tongues lick nonstop...
...any foreign object that gets trapped inside.
Huh.
Hey. Since we're on the subject of questions, what's the story with that door there?
Oh, that. That's a door that, once you enter, you can never come out again.
Take a look at it, you moron! It's a freestanding door!
Let me see... Ah, here it is!
In the guide book, it says that no one who has entered it has been seen again,
...so they aren't sure how it works.
I've heard enough! I swear, this "Hall of Treasures" is a useless dump!
Come on, now! Let's work hard for free!
Love is what service is all about!
In one sense, our forced labor just got a lot harder...
Lady Etna is using different words, that's all.
When it's all said and done, she's ignoring labor guidelines, dood.
Goofing off is a sin! Come on, let's work for love!
Damn it, cut that out!
Fine, suit yourself! I'm gonna go whack some more Prinnies, then!
Forget you!
This is ridiculous... I wonder what happened to those two?
You seem to be in a real bind!
Oh, it's you losers.
Is that any way to greet us?
What's with the getups?
We're working part-time as emergency medical technicians at the moment.
Stay away from me, you voluptuous hussy!
I'm not the one who needs a doctor! It's those two over there!
How do you do, everyone?
Yo!
It would seem that their personalities have been switched.
I already figured that out! How do we turn them back to normal?!
As for that, I do not know.
If you don't have anything to offer, get lost!
So long, suckers!
Oh, but they just got here!
Okay, all you Prinnies! It's time to get back to work!
You're gonna make us work some more?!
You're serving a cause! Let's all share the joy of work!
Or would you rather serve me?
We'll take the hard labor, dood!
- Hey, wait! - Come back here!
They don't leave me much choice. I'll leave them here until they turn back to normal.
How very unattractive of you!
You say something, statue?
I'll have you know that my name is the Dark Adonis, Vy...
Put a sock in it, Mid-Boss!
Have it your way, then.
More importantly, do you seriously intend to set out for the overlord's castle alone,
...leaving those two here in their switched state?
What's the problem with that?
It's not like not having those two around is gonna cause me any trouble.
I wouldn't be so sure.
No man is an island unto himself. We can't live without love.
Love is worthless.
There is just one way, just one, to return those two to normal.
What?
You must get them to enter this door. Or so it is said.
But the book said that anyone who goes into this door never comes out again.
Heave ho, heave ho, Atamee, dood! Hell Valley, dood!
Getting rid of you will free us from you cruel slave drivers!
In ya go!
What are you doing?!
Why did they toss me in here, too?
These are souls.
Souls that have been preyed upon by their weaknesses...
...and taken prisoner here, and now they can't get out.
By weakness...
You mustn't be caught up in the torrents of weakness.
Once you are engulfed by it, you will never break free, Laharl.
On the other hand, those two are switched, so they might be able to resist!
Maybe! Just maybe! The two girls alone will be able to step through this door!
Possibly.
Dial down the exposition, dood.
This is so pretty!
I hadn't looked at it that way.
What's lost is lost, right? I just need to go get it back!
C'mon, Laharl, cheer up!
As long as you're still alive, things can always get better! Right?
You cheer up, too!
Haul off and blow this place away with your Overlord's Wrath, Laharl!
She's right! Haul off, dood!
Go go, Highness!
Their ditzy cheerfulness drives me up the wall, but it looks like that's what set them free.
Hey, no fair! No sexy women!
This is the Netherworld. Demons are expected to fight dirty.
Go go, Highness! Go go go!
Go go, Laharl! Go go go!
They're back to normal!
Atamee Valley, Hell Valley!
How much farther are you two gonna push this "happy-go-lucky" crap?!
We eagerly await your next visit, doods!
There's no point in staying here any longer. Let's go!
Coming!
Thank you, doods! Come back soon!
I've had it up to here with this... Lovely Hall of Treasures!
That's for sure, Highness.
Still, "Hall of Treasures" does have a lovely and sweet...
...ring to it no matter how many times I hear it.
What about that place is lovely and sweet?
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...
All right, Celestian! Your many misdeeds have been laid bare!
I will therefore pass sentence on the accused!
Do you have any proof? Where's your evidence?!
"Where's your proof, where's your proof?" I'm sick of your whining about proof, punk!
I've got your proof right here! Take a good look at this Etna blossom blizzard on my back!
Oh, wow! Did you draw that cherry blossom blizzard tattoo yourself?!
Next time on Disgaea! "A Solomon-style Judgment in the Dinero Castle?!"
Huh? But wasn't your schtick just now from that old "Kin-san" period drama?
Next Time: A Solomon-style Judgment in the Dinero Castle?! Huh? But wasn't your schtick just now from that old "Kin-san" period drama?
Next Time: A Solomon-style Judgment in the Dinero Castle?! Um... Yeah.
Next Time: A Solomon-style Judgment in the Dinero Castle?!
