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.
Do you have the slightest idea who I am?
Why are you attacking me?
Gosh, attacked by three monsters at once! You're really Mr. Popular, aren't ya?
You sly dog!
This is getting on my nerves.
Still, I wonder why you're being attacked again and again like this?
I have no idea.
Well, this means that news of your return is spreading all across the Netherworld.
This saves you the trouble of getting the news out yourself, wouldn't you say?
Oh, my! Look over there, Highness!
Is that a UFO?
"Bounty of 1 million HL to be paid to the demon who kills Overlord Laharl."
What's this?
Wow, there's a price on your head, Highness! No way!
A million?
Amazing! That's my Prince!
THAT'S all they think my life is worth?!
So those smalltime demons were really bounty hunters? I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!
What I want to know is, what fool out there had the gall to put a price on my head?!
Can you think of any likely demons?
If I had to guess, I'd say it was the people in Celestia who sent Flonne here.
In any case, this is intolerable!
Once I get my hands on him, he'll wish he'd never been born!
Now that you mention it, Highness, where IS Flonne?
I don't care!
The Dungeon of Temptation! Maybe, Maybe Not...
Laharl! Etna!
How could they abandon a vassal in a place like this?
It's so mean!
But this might be a trial that I have to overcome...
Yes, that must be it! This is more of Laharl's tough love!
I'll tough it out!
What did you say? There's a bounty on the Prince's head?
YES. THAT IS WHAT IS WRITTEN ON THAT FLYER.
If we got that bounty, we'd have enough to pay for repairs on our spaceship!
This means that our luck has finally turned around!
That's right, Jennifer! As Defender of Earth, I will bring him down no matter what!
That should do it, Thursday.
I've installed dowsing mods that will let you search for the prince.
This will let us track him down in no time!
Amazing! We can always count on you, Jennifer!
All right, show us your stuff, Thursday!
SCAN IN PROGRESS.
BEEP BEEP BLIP BEEP.
SIGNATURE DETECTED IN THIS DIRECTION.
NOW COMMENCING PURSUIT.
Okay, let's get going!
Just you wait, you notorious demon!
There's something pleasantly gloomy and creepy about this forest, isn't there?
What's the matter, Highness?
Take a look at that rock. We passed it a while ago.
Now that you mention it...
Are you telling me that we're going around in circles?! This isn't good!
You only realized it just now?
And there's nobody around to ask for directions... We're in a real bind here.
I'm hungry.
So am I. I'm starving.
Quit your complaining and call in the Prinnies!
Right! Prinny Squad, assemble!
Prinnies, I've got a job for you!
What's the problem?
It doesn't look like they're coming. I wonder if they're busy with something else?
And you people call yourselves vassals of the great Overlord?!
Remember, the Prinnies are MY vassals!
Like I said before, YOUR vassals are by definition...
I'm done counting on you people.
Hey! Wait, Highness!
Now it's raining!
Uh, this strikes me as a wee bit suspicious.
Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
Overlord Laharl is here! Is anyone home?!
I welcometh thee, Overlord!
You should have been here to greet me as soon as I came in the door!
Please forgiveth my rudeness.
Excuse me, the Prince and I are both...
Dinner is waiting for you. Right this way.
Really? But we didn't even say that we were hungry...
Why complain? She isn't wasting our time.
Wow, this is all for us?!
I only hopeth that it's to the Overlord's liking.
I have to say, though, finding a fancy spread like this...
...in the middle of a forest goes way beyond suspicious, don't you think, High...
You're already eating!
It tastes fine. You eat, too.
I swear, you're the easiest man in the Netherworld to poison, Highness...
This is great!
TARGET DETECTED.
We've found you, prince of the Netherworld!
You won't get away this time!
Hey, something went over our heads just now...
You won't escape us this time, my good demon prince!
You lunatics again?! I'm in the middle of dinner! Come back later!
Uh, Highness, I think you should take a look at this.
The Overlord is my prey! You will not layeth a finger on him!
He's your what?!
What did I tell you? I KNEW this was fishy.
First I'm your guest and now I'm your prey, huh? Who are you?
I have awaited your arrival, Prince Laharl.
My name is Saldia the Demonslayer.
Demonslayer?
My blade hath taken the lives of over 2000 demons!
That many, huh?
Or was it UNDER 2000?
Which is it?!
With but a single swing of this sword, even the land itself is cleft in twain!
Really? It splits in half?
Maybe, maybe not.
Which is it?!
In any event, the life of Overlord Laharl is in mine to do with as I pleaseth.
Now I get it. It looks like this is the perfect time for a little after-dinner exercise.
Thursday!
Whew!
Let the wailing and gnashing of teeth commenceth!
For down below is the far reaches of the Netherworld!
It's the what?!
Maybe, maybe not.
MAKE UP YOUR MIND, DAMMIT!
I am in the habit of taking my time and savoring my meals.
We did it! At long last, he's been sealed away in the depths of the earth!
Thank you for your assistance!
We'll split the bounty with you fifty-fifty, and...
I'M SLIPPING!
As if I would ever alloweth my bounty to be stolen by a mere human!
Where am I? Which way should I go?
O great Seraph, please show me the way!
Laharl! Etna!
So, that demon was after the bounty on me, too?
Probably. Or maybe she just drops people into pits for kicks.
Must be a magical barrier.
Try it again, Highness.
See? Now we have plenty of light.
Don't treat my mighty magic as a stand-in for a box of matches!
Now, where's that exit? I kinda doubt there IS one.
I swear, that dead-man-walking who put that bounty on me...
...is causing me nothing but trouble!
I'm gonna find out who it was, mark my words!
Like I said, we can't use magic in here because of... That's hot!
Highness, the place is on fire!
Put it out!
Damn it, step aside!
Highness, you're just making the fire worse!
What's that?
Oh, the pit is equipped with a fire extinguisher system! What a relief!
Hey, we don't need any more water!
Ah, she's using water torture.
You're kidding!
Something's in here with us!
Disgaea
I can't fight properly, floating around like this!
Highness! Highness!
Look at that!
Ah, what a fine view. I shall taketh the liberty of enjoying this little show.
Oh, so I'm an hors d'oeuvre for your wine, am I?!
More to the point, what the heck kind of fish is that thing?!
Mizuchi! A monster whose favorite food is lively demons!
Oh, you don't say...
Or so I'm told.
What, you don't know?!
So, a Demonslayer keeps a demon-slayer as a pet, huh? Interesting hobby you have...
Go forth, Mizuchi! Giveth those two a slow, painful death!
Where is the Prince?!
I CAN'T BE SURE...
It looks like there's a powerful barrier down here.
Don't give up!
There is no obstacle that the 37th Defender of Earth can't overcome!
Boost your gain and keep trying.
ROGER.
Highness!
Yes, I want them to suffereth!
That's it! Now, let's try that again!
What in the...
DANGER! DANGER! MASSIVE VOLUME OF WATER APPROACHING!
A what?!
DANGER! DANGER!
Jennifer! Thursday!
That lady's really put me through the wringer...
You've got some nerve, Demonslayer!
I can't walk another step...
Laharl... Seraph Lamington...
Who are you?
You want me to help you? Help you do what?
You needn't hideth the truth from me.
You are aftereth the Overlord's life, too, are you not?
Like I said, I'm Laharl's vassal, and I'm trying to find him.
Silence!
If that is how you wanteth it, I might be persuaded to giveth you part of the bounty.
Bounty? Bounty on what?
Still trying to playeth dumb with me, are you?!
It's not only the bounty on his head that I am after.
The amount of money and valuables that Laharl stands to inherit from the previous Overlord...
...is so vast that it would fill up that lake!
Gosh, really?
Or maybe it wouldn't.
Why do demons think about nothing but money?
Surely there are things that are more important than money!
I do not expecteth your people to understand.
The neverending fixation on and ambition towards money...
The grandeur of it! The beauty of it!
In any case, I can't help you!
If you insisteth!
You leave me no choice but to eliminate you.
One!
What?
Here in the Netherworld, fighting dirty is a virtue!
Two!
The praises of insincerity are sung, as well!
Three! Strike down this irritating fly that's buzzing around my ears...
...my Overlord's Wrath!
Overlord Laharl stands before you!
Laharl, that was so cool!
Use that as your entrance speech from now on!
I'm glad to see that you're okay, too, Etna!
You're also a lot more tenacious than I gave you credit for.
Saldia, you have some nerve, challenging the Overlord!
You will be the 2001st demon that this sword has dispatched as swiftly as the morning fog!
- Maybe, maybe not. - Maybe, maybe not.
Don't stealeth my catch-phrase! Prepare to meet your maker!
Beauty!
Who's there?!
Such an angry expression will ruin your exquisite face, Mademoiselle.
Just great, somebody else is butting in...
What did you come here for, you measly Mid-Boss?
I am no Mid-Boss!
I am an aristocrat who is in search of love and beauty, the Dark Adonis!
My lovely Mademoiselle, Overlord Laharl is my eternal rival.
I ask that you be so good as to stand aside.
Since when am I your "eternal rival"? Keep out of this!
Well, it looks like another person has arrived to try to claimeth the bounty.
A bounty, you say! Perish the thought!
Do I strike you as a vulgar demon who could be tempted by mere filthy lucre?
Not to me, Mr. Mid-Boss!
Merci, Mademoiselle! But how many times must I tell you that I am not a Mid-Boss!
I am the Dark Adonis, who seeks out love and beauty...
Oh, shut up!
Your bark is worse than your bite.
Say your prayers.
Wait, Laharl!
Unhand me!
Finishing someone off without giving them the chance to repent is going too far!
I'm sure that demons are capable of repenting for their sins, just like angels are!
We do not!
No, I'm sure that deep down, there is love in your heart that is capable of...
...feeling mercy and forgiving the sins of others!
More of your love nonsense?!
I have faith in you, Laharl!
In the mercy and genuine love that have begun to blossom in your...
Huh?
Oh, brother. Here's another one who never learns her lesson...
What's the matter, Highness?!
Don't tell me that what Flonne said just now got to you!
Of course not, don't be stupid.
Saldia. You're going to take me to see the person...
...who told you that there was a bounty on my head.
I'm going to claim the bounty myself!
Um, Highness, I don't think I need to remind you that the bounty is ON you...
Exactly. If I go and turn myself in, that means I get to take credit for my capture!
What about it? You have a problem with my plan?
Um... No, sir, none at all.
Attaboy! You're Krichevskoy's son, all right! You've got your finger in all kinds of evil pies!
Don't go overboard with the compliments.
My sword!
From this day forward, you're my vassal.
You won't be needing a demonslayer's sword anymore.
Let's go!
So... this means that I have a vassal now, too, doesn't it?
Yay! I'm so happy!
Don't get the wrong idea.
You're always gonna be the lowest vassal on the totem pole!
Aw, you're kidding!
Saldia, you're going to be our guide.
But the one who first mentioned the bounty to her was... Oh, what the heck!
Wait for me! I had a horrible time finding my way out of that desert you left me in!
Oops, sorry about that! We didn't notice that you were gone!
I doubt that!
The Defender of Earth is back in action!
I stand before you! Where is the demon prince?!
Um, hello? The Mid-Boss is up here, everyone!
Oops, I called myself the "Mid-Boss"...
Overlord Laharl, one day I will slay you!
Maybe, maybe not...
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...
Etna, the in-your-face babe reporter is on the scene!
Today's target is Flonne, the top Evil Idol!
I hear your public and private personas are like night and day! I'm gonna expose the real you!
That's so mean! What makes you say that I'm evil?!
When you've got no evidence, make it up! Feast your eyes on this scandalous photo!
Gosh, this fake nude picture is really well done!
