Fire Astro Particle Cannon!
**[01:59] ---**
Impossible, he shattered the
Astro Particle Cannon's beam!
**[02:08] ---**
Now I'm going to teach you what
happens when you anger me, humans!
**[02:12] ---**
Just a minute, Prince! I'm coming, too!
**[02:20] ---**
Wait for me, Jennifer!
**[02:23] ---**
"The Defender of Tomorrow is You!"
**[02:29] ---**
Wow, they're really going at it out there.
**[02:32] ---**
Jennifer, please tell me
everything that you know.
**[02:37] ---**
The Earth Defense Force
was originally founded
**[02:41] ---**
with the simple goal of saving humanity.
**[02:44] ---**
As you all know, Earth is
faced with a terrible crisis!
**[02:49] ---**
Explosive population growth!
Skyrocketing violent crime!
**[02:53] ---**
The destruction of the environment!
Severe food shortages!
**[02:57] ---**
If something is not done,
humanity will likely perish!
**[03:00] ---**
Our mission is to save the human race!
**[03:04] ---**
We formulated a plan in which
humanity would migrate into space.
**[03:09] ---**
But then...
**[03:11] ---**
We don't need to go to all that trouble.
**[03:14] ---**
All we need to do is
take over the Netherworld.
**[03:16] ---**
What?! The Netherworld?!
**[03:18] ---**
If we can invade the Netherworld
and exterminate the demons,
**[03:21] ---**
we'll be killing two birds with one stone.
**[03:22] ---**
Don't you agree?
**[03:25] ---**
Wow, your old man is more
demonic than any demon I know.
**[03:29] ---**
Why did your father suddenly change plans?
**[03:32] ---**
I honestly don't know.
**[03:34] ---**
*Celestia has to be involved
in this somehow...*
**[03:38] ---**
Jennifer, the Commander wishes to see you.
**[03:41] ---**
Jennifer...
**[03:44] ---**
I'll make my father see that this
isn't the right way to save humanity.
**[03:52] ---**
Jennifer!
**[04:07] ---**
Those are the "you-know-whats"
that you talked about earlier!
**[04:10] ---**
Don't thank me yet! Let's get moving!
**[04:17] ---**
Man, this ship is huge!
How much farther to the exit?
**[04:30] ---**
Flonne?
**[04:35] ---**
Hey, what are you doing?
**[04:39] ---**
Where do you think you're going?
**[04:42] ---**
Aw, that's not fair!
**[04:44] ---**
Don't change the subject.
**[04:46] ---**
Anyway, I have to go up here and see what's--
**[04:49] ---**
Hold it!
**[04:51] ---**
Keep climbing! That's it, nice and slow...
**[05:01] ---**
I said freeze!
Take one step, and we'll open fire!
**[05:03] ---**
Fine, fine, we're freezing!
**[05:05] ---**
Please let me through! There's something
that I have to make sure of!
**[05:12] ---**
I have brought her, sir.
**[05:14] ---**
Well done.
**[05:16] ---**
Father, there is something
that I need to discuss with you.
**[05:18] ---**
It can wait until later.
**[05:20] ---**
For now, you should watch over how our
forces are comporting themselves in battle.
**[05:23] ---**
After all, you will be the next Supreme
Commander of the Earth Defense Force.
**[05:30] ---**
If this is what it means to be
Supreme Commander, I want no part of it.
**[05:33] ---**
What was that?
**[05:35] ---**
I'm saying that I don't want
to become like you, Father!
**[05:38] ---**
Jennifer!
**[05:39] ---**
It's wrong to think that we're
justified in doing anything so long
**[05:42] ---**
as it saves humanity, Father!
**[05:45] ---**
All right, I understand. There's no
need to get so emotional about it.
**[05:48] ---**
You just want me to hear you out, right?
**[05:53] ---**
Let's talk about this outside.
**[05:57] ---**
Just as I thought, even a man like
you can be swayed by your daughter.
**[06:06] ---**
I still have one last job for
Jennifer to carry out for me.
**[06:17] ---**
Etna...
**[06:20] ---**
Prinny Squad! C'mon!
**[06:31] ---**
What's with all these penguins?!
**[06:34] ---**
They aren't penguins, they're Prinnies!
**[06:36] ---**
I'm touched that they'd
come all this way for us!
**[06:44] ---**
Listen up, you bums! We're gonna
smash this place 'til there's nothing left!
**[06:48] ---**
Aye aye, dood!
**[06:50] ---**
I knew it...
**[07:03] ---**
Father... What happened to me?
**[07:08] ---**
You passed out all of a sudden.
You must be exhausted.
**[07:11] ---**
You should rest for a while.
**[07:19] ---**
That's a--
**[07:20] ---**
That's my daughter.
You recognized what this is right away.
**[07:25] ---**
No, stop!
**[07:27] ---**
Let me go!
**[07:30] ---**
Please! Stop using me as your pawn!
**[07:35] ---**
Father!
**[07:40] ---**
Angel Cannon power at 120%.
**[07:43] ---**
Ready to fire!
**[07:45] ---**
Two bogies closing in from dead ahead!
**[07:47] ---**
So, you want another taste
of that beam, do you, demon?
**[07:53] ---**
We're the Prinny Squad, doods!
**[07:55] ---**
Don't mind us, doods!
**[07:59] ---**
"Prinny Squad"?
**[08:05] ---**
That's the way! Destroy anything
you can get your flippers on!
**[08:08] ---**
Destroy everything, eh?
Thursday, finish these things!
**[08:12] ---**
Roger! Changing to Robo Attack!
**[08:26] ---**
Where's Jennifer?
**[08:33] ---**
Highness!
**[08:34] ---**
Laharl! Mr. Gordon!
**[08:37] ---**
I'm surprised to see you.
**[08:39] ---**
Where's Jennifer?!
**[08:41] ---**
The Commander is busy
modifying her at the moment.
**[08:43] ---**
Modifying her?!
**[08:45] ---**
"Modifying"?
**[08:51] ---**
This I've gotta see!
**[08:53] ---**
I'm kinda morbidly
curious about this myself...
**[09:01] ---**
What do you mean, the Commander
is modifying Jennifer?!
**[09:04] ---**
Come now, it's hardly unheard-of these days.
**[09:08] ---**
Kurtis, your arm...
**[09:10] ---**
And now he's revealed that he's a cyborg!
**[09:12] ---**
Flonne, you've got *way* too many interests.
**[09:15] ---**
In other words, she'll
geek out over anything.
**[09:17] ---**
It happened in that incident five
years ago. I lost everything that day.
**[09:22] ---**
Geez, they've started
reminiscing about the old days...
**[09:25] ---**
Should we blindside him
while he's distracted?
**[09:27] ---**
Shh! We have to hear him out!
**[09:30] ---**
A rival is always burdened with
some tragic incident in the past!
**[09:35] ---**
It happened five years ago this very day.
**[09:37] ---**
A radical group opposed to
space research carried out
**[09:41] ---**
a bombing attack on the
World Space Research Institute today!
**[09:44] ---**
The death toll has reached 350 so far, and--
**[09:53] ---**
I lost my wife and daughter in that attack,
and 70% of my body was mechanized.
**[10:01] ---**
I had no idea! Your family was
among the victims of that bombing?!
**[10:10] ---**
What good is the Defender of Earth if he
can't save the lives of innocent people?
**[10:14] ---**
A true Defender of Earth would stop at
nothing to save as many people as he could!
**[10:25] ---**
You're wrong!
**[10:27] ---**
Invading the Netherworld might
save humanity, I'll give you that.
**[10:30] ---**
But doing so will cost countless lives!
Is that what you want?
**[10:35] ---**
Do you really think that
that's what's best for humanity?
**[10:38] ---**
It's naive thinking like
that that cost me my family!
**[10:45] ---**
I swore an oath that day that if the
Defender of Earth couldn't do his job...
**[10:53] ---**
...then I would defeat him and
become the *true* Defender of Earth!
**[10:58] ---**
That is the only path that's left to me now!
**[11:03] ---**
You mustn't!
**[11:09] ---**
You don't care if you create more
innocent victims like your wife and daughter?
**[11:13] ---**
What?
**[11:14] ---**
Demons have families, too!
**[11:17] ---**
It's wrong to think that anything is
justified if it might save humanity!
**[11:21] ---**
Not when you should know the pain of
losing a loved one better than anyone!
**[11:27] ---**
She's right! Seeing what you've become,
**[11:29] ---**
what would your wife and daughter
think of you up in heaven?
**[11:32] ---**
Shut up! Shut up!
**[11:38] ---**
Kurtis!
**[11:41] ---**
Dood, sabotage activities
have been completed!
**[11:44] ---**
Kurtis!
**[11:49] ---**
Don't come complaining to me
when Flonne gives you an earful
**[11:52] ---**
for sneaking out in the middle
of that guy's speech, Highness.
**[11:55] ---**
We don't have time to hang around
and listen to those two reminisce.
**[11:57] ---**
The first order of business is to
take down that uppity bastard.
**[12:00] ---**
Yessir...
**[12:02] ---**
Kurtis!
**[12:05] ---**
Kurtis! Hurry! This way!
**[12:13] ---**
Forget about me... Get going!
**[12:15] ---**
But I can't...
**[12:16] ---**
Jennifer is in ♪13 medical room.
If you go now, you might get there in time!
**[12:22] ---**
Kurtis!
**[12:23] ---**
Get going, Defender of Earth!
**[12:29] ---**
You should hurry, too.
**[12:30] ---**
But...
**[12:32] ---**
If you go, you might find the
answers that you're looking for.
**[12:36] ---**
But I can't--
**[12:38] ---**
Hey, wait! Put me down!
**[12:49] ---**
"Disgaea"
**[12:52] ---**
"Disgaea"
**[13:04] ---**
Give Jennifer back to me!
**[13:05] ---**
Very well, if you insist. Jennifer!
**[13:10] ---**
What in the world?!
**[13:16] ---**
Come on, you call *this* "modified"?
**[13:18] ---**
All he did was stick some
weird doohickey on her head.
**[13:22] ---**
I was expecting to see
something more amazing, too...
**[13:25] ---**
You three don't seem to understand
just how amazing this device really is.
**[13:28] ---**
Isn't that right, Jennifer?
**[13:29] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[13:32] ---**
Is it just me, or she acting kinda funny?
**[13:34] ---**
It's mind control!
**[13:36] ---**
Mind control?
**[13:39] ---**
He's using that device
to control Jennifer's mind.
**[13:43] ---**
Go, Jennifer! Kill them!
**[13:46] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[13:49] ---**
As the sidekick of the
Defender of Earth, you must--
**[13:55] ---**
Listen to what your heart is telling you!
**[13:57] ---**
What is right?!
What you ought to believe in?!
**[14:00] ---**
And what you ought to do right now!
**[14:03] ---**
What she ought to do? *You* are the
one who doesn't understand, Gordon.
**[14:09] ---**
To execute our Netherworld Invasion Project,
what we needed more than anything
**[14:12] ---**
was for someone to scout ahead
and investigate the Netherworld.
**[14:16] ---**
And you fulfilled that
role beautifully. Well done.
**[14:21] ---**
Now, Jennifer, put him out of his misery.
**[14:24] ---**
Yes, Father.
**[14:29] ---**
Oh, no! Gordon's in trouble!
**[14:31] ---**
I swear, that bozo can't do anything right!
**[14:34] ---**
Don't interfere! This is something
that he has to do himself!
**[14:37] ---**
What a sorry sight this is, Gordon!
**[14:42] ---**
What happened to that true spirit of a
defender that you showed me on the bridge?
**[14:45] ---**
And now we're at the climax of the battle!
**[14:48] ---**
You traitor! How dare you interfere?!
**[14:52] ---**
Get down, everyone!
**[15:03] ---**
Kurtis?!
**[15:13] ---**
*Gordon, I wanted to be a true
Defender of Earth, just like you...*
**[15:23] ---**
Kurtis!
**[15:27] ---**
Kurtis?
**[15:29] ---**
Kurtis... You will be forever known
as the 38th Defender of Earth!
**[15:34] ---**
Kurtis...! He's dead because of me!
**[15:39] ---**
Hey, she's back to normal!
**[15:41] ---**
Shh! Don't talk during a touching moment!
**[15:43] ---**
You know,
**[15:45] ---**
this almost makes it look like they're
the stars of the show all of a sudden.
**[15:47] ---**
Are you okay with that?
**[15:49] ---**
They can have the spotlight this one time.
**[15:51] ---**
It's always so sad when the rival
lays down his life, isn't it?
**[15:55] ---**
Hey, where'd the old dude
with the mustache go?
**[16:01] ---**
You don't know when to
give up, do you, Father?
**[16:05] ---**
Stand aside, Jennifer!
Or have you forgotten who raised you?
**[16:10] ---**
I always had faith in
you. I even loved you...
**[16:14] ---**
But your only goal was to
use me for your own ends!
**[16:18] ---**
You've lost the right to
be called father by me!
**[16:20] ---**
Give yourself up, Carter!
**[16:31] ---**
Now this is what I call divine protection!
**[16:35] ---**
Why have the Celestial
hosts come to protect him?
**[16:43] ---**
What in the world is going on?!
**[16:45] ---**
That clinches it, Celestia is definitely
working in cahoots with the human world.
**[16:49] ---**
It can't be...!
**[16:50] ---**
Prepare to die, demons!
**[16:55] ---**
Berry Barrier Balidaire!
**[17:07] ---**
What have I done?
**[17:08] ---**
You people must have a
death wish to dare to attack me!
**[17:22] ---**
You have to believe me! I'm innocent!
**[17:25] ---**
I don't care how advanced
human science and technology is.
**[17:28] ---**
You shouldn't have been able to
come in here as easily as you did
**[17:30] ---**
without help from someone
who's familiar with the Netherworld.
**[17:33] ---**
Answer me, human.
Who's pulling your strings?
**[17:36] ---**
It's...
**[17:38] ---**
Spill it!
**[17:38] ---**
I-It's a man who had white wings!
**[17:42] ---**
White wings?
**[17:46] ---**
I knew it, Celestia is behind this.
**[17:48] ---**
He told me that if Celestia and the human
world joined forces to wipe out the demons,
**[17:51] ---**
the safety of the human
race would be assured!
**[17:54] ---**
Sounds like a big, fat lie to me.
**[17:57] ---**
I was only trying to protect--
**[17:59] ---**
Mr. Carter, there's something
that I want to ask you.
**[18:02] ---**
Like what?
**[18:04] ---**
Prinny!
**[18:05] ---**
Here you go...
**[18:11] ---**
Did you get this from the same man?
**[18:13] ---**
That's right. He said
that if we used its energy,
**[18:17] ---**
it would have a devastating
effect on any demon.
**[18:20] ---**
He did?
**[18:22] ---**
It's no wonder that this
knocked you for a loop, Highness.
**[18:25] ---**
This is the same kind of
stone as Flonne's necklace!
**[18:36] ---**
How could I have been so careless?!
**[18:44] ---**
Sooner or later, the
Netherworld will be ours.
**[18:46] ---**
What a fool you are...
**[18:48] ---**
W-Who's there?!
**[18:49] ---**
You aren't capable of saving the Earth.
**[18:52] ---**
How can you expect to save anyone else
when you can't even save your own daughter?
**[19:01] ---**
That ought to do the trick!
**[19:06] ---**
What did he mean by that?
**[19:08] ---**
Was it that angel who said that?
Have I been betrayed?
**[19:19] ---**
Surely fate's hand is at work here!
**[19:21] ---**
Let's agree to a noninterference
treaty between our two peoples!
**[19:25] ---**
Very well.
**[19:28] ---**
I'm glad we met you, everyone. Take care.
**[19:31] ---**
--Goodbye. Goodbye.
**[19:32] ---**
--Goodbye!
**[19:34] ---**
Hey, why aren't you going
home in this behemoth?
**[19:37] ---**
We have no more use for it.
Feel free to use it for yourselves!
**[19:41] ---**
I don't need--
**[19:41] ---**
You really mean it?!
**[19:43] ---**
I've always wanted one of these!
Thank you so much!
**[19:46] ---**
What're you gonna do with a spaceship?
**[19:47] ---**
This is goodbye, my friends!
Now, take off for Earth!
**[19:55] ---**
Goodbye!
**[19:57] ---**
This means that the human world
effectively belongs to me, too.
**[20:01] ---**
Way to go, Highness! Is that what you
were after when you agreed to that treaty?
**[20:05] ---**
You sly devil, you!
**[20:06] ---**
Don't go overboard with the compliments.
**[20:11] ---**
I'm leaving, too. For Celestia.
**[20:13] ---**
Huh? How come?
**[20:15] ---**
Something is happening in Celestia.
**[20:17] ---**
That's the only conclusion
that I can come to.
**[20:20] ---**
I think I'll be able to find some
answers if I go to see Seraph Lamington.
**[20:25] ---**
Laharl, Etna, I really appreciate
everything that you've done for me.
**[20:31] ---**
Thank you very much.
**[20:33] ---**
Flonne?
**[20:35] ---**
Take care, you two.
**[20:39] ---**
Are you sure you want to let
Flonne go all by herself?
**[20:44] ---**
Hold it! I'm coming, too.
**[20:47] ---**
I knew it, you were worried about her!
**[20:49] ---**
You stinker!
**[20:51] ---**
As if!
**[20:52] ---**
This is the perfect opportunity
for me to take over Celestia!
**[20:55] ---**
--To take over Celestia?!
**[20:55] ---**
--To take over Celestia?!
**[20:58] ---**
I've taken control of the Netherworld.
**[21:00] ---**
For all intents and purposes,
the human world now belongs to me, too.
**[21:04] ---**
All that's left is Celestia,
and thanks to what happened today,
**[21:06] ---**
I now have the means to
invade *them* fair and square!
**[21:09] ---**
It's only a matter of time before
Celestia falls into my clutches, too!
**[21:15] ---**
What a Prince-ish thing to say. Right?
**[21:17] ---**
It sure is. That's Laharl all over.
**[21:20] ---**
Hey! How come I'm the one who
has to pilot this stupid thing?!
**[21:24] ---**
Are we ready to set sail, everyone?
**[21:26] ---**
All right, set course for Celestia! Take off!
**[21:43] ---**
If I don't do something,
they'll ruin all my plans...
**[21:53] ---**
You have done enough.
**[21:56] ---**
Seraph Lamington!
**[21:59] ---**
You have served me well, Vulcanus.
**[22:11] ---**
Ow... We're there already?
**[22:14] ---**
No, we're not.
**[22:19] ---**
A red moon?
**[22:44] ---**
