    "Disgaea"
[00:13] ---
    It's like I'm tied up tight
    by the sighs of love.

[00:19] ---
    I can't break free no
    matter what spell I try.

[00:26] ---
    Tranquil eyes that conceal sorrow behind them
[00:31] ---
    throw my heart into turmoil
    more than they ought to.

[00:39] ---
    You mean more to me than I do,
[00:45] ---
    even though we both
    refuse to admit to our feelings.

[00:51] ---
    You're the one for me.
    I don't care if you're a demon.

[00:58] ---
    Oh, this is a miracle
    that I've stumbled upon.

[01:04] ---
    Even these wounds that never fade,
    even this profound karma.

[01:11] ---
    Oh, I'll give you my love.
[01:14] ---
    Time and again, no matter where you are.
[01:22] ---
    I'll give you my love.
[01:36] ---
    If I don't do something,
    they'll ruin all my plans...
[01:51] ---
    "A Night Lit Up By a Red Moon"
[02:15] ---
    A red moon...
[02:18] ---
    Oh, that. It's only natural,
    this is Lunar Snowfield.
[02:26] ---
    Wait a minute. We should have warped
    straight to Celestia. Why are we here?
[02:33] ---
    Do you hear something?
[02:36] ---
    ♪Red moon... ♪
[02:39] ---
    ♪ The red moon will cleanse
    the souls of those who have sinned. ♪
[02:51] ---
    Look at all those Prinnies...
[02:53] ---
    Where do you suppose such
    a huge crowd of them is going?
[03:07] ---
    Good, just the flunkies I wanted to see.
    I can't fight on an empty stomach.
[03:11] ---
    I want to eat before I go to Celestia.
    Prinnies! See to it!
[03:15] ---
    Um... How can I put this?
    Highness, this might not be the best time.
[03:24] ---
    Hey! You there!
[03:26] ---
    What's the big idea?! All right, he's fired!
[03:29] ---
    Next! Get over here, Prinny!
[03:35] ---
    Wait! Wait, curse you! Where do you think
    you're going, defying my orders like that?!
[03:40] ---
    You mustn't interfere.
[03:44] ---
    Stand aside!
[03:45] ---
    Please, let them go.
    They have atoned for their sins.
[03:50] ---
    What are you talking
    about, you stupid Prinny?
[03:52] ---
    All that we can do is pray that
    their next life will be a happy one.
[04:02] ---
    Who do you think you are?!
[04:04] ---
    You forget that you're my vassal!
    Never tell me what to do again!
[04:08] ---
    Highness!
[04:14] ---
    Excuse me...
[04:15] ---
    Yes?
[04:16] ---
    Um, you seem different
    from the other Prinnies.
[04:21] ---
    Wha--? Uh, I have no idea
    what you might be talking about.
[04:27] ---
    Well, there's the way
    you were praying just now,
[04:29] ---
    not to mention the way that you talk...
[04:31] ---
    Could you be--
[04:32] ---
    I-I have no idea what you mean.
    Dood. I'm just like the others, dood!
[04:48] ---
    I understand. You must have
    your reasons for keeping quiet.
[04:52] ---
    Let's say that I was thinking out loud.
    Thank you very much.
[04:59] ---
    Flonne...
[05:01] ---
    The Prince seems to have changed a
    little in the time since you arrived here.
[05:05] ---
    Really? Do you really think so?
[05:09] ---
    Yes, I do.
[05:10] ---
    Oh, thank goodness! Hearing you
    say that makes me so happy, Prinny!
[05:15] ---
    I couldn't be sure, because people have
    always told me that I make assumptions,
[05:19] ---
    or that I only see things the
    way that I want to see them.
[05:23] ---
    But if you see a change in him, too,
[05:25] ---
    then maybe love really has
    started to blossom in Laharl's heart!
[05:30] ---
    Let's overlook his little tantrum just now...
[05:33] ---
    This makes me so happy!
    Love really is amazing, isn't it?
[05:38] ---
    Yes, it truly is... Dood!
[05:47] ---
    Who does that impudent Prinny think it is?
[05:49] ---
    Highness!
[05:51] ---
    Now, now, they'll all
    come back in a few days,
[05:55] ---
    so don't get bent out of shape, okay?
[05:57] ---
    A few days? Where have
    all the Prinnies gone, then?
[06:00] ---
    They made a break for it, that's all.
    It's 'cause you treat them so badly.
[06:05] ---
    I'm kidding!
[06:06] ---
    I've had about enough of your lip, Etna!
    You'd better "make a break for it," too!
[06:19] ---
    Laharl!
[06:21] ---
    Now you're here to give me
    some backtalk? What do you want?
[06:24] ---
    You can be very
    inconsiderate sometimes, Laharl!
[06:27] ---
    People's feelings are very delicate.
    The tiniest little things can hurt them.
[06:34] ---
    You should treat everyone with
    more kindness, and with more love!
[06:38] ---
    Never say the word "love" in front of me!
[06:41] ---
    Don't lecture me like you
    know what you're talking about!
[06:43] ---
    I'm never speaking to you again!
[06:51] ---
    Looks like you made him even angrier.
[06:54] ---
    I don't understand... Why do you
    suppose Laharl is so worked up?
[07:00] ---
    I spoke my mind to him because I
    thought that love towards others
[07:03] ---
    0ad taken root in him.
[07:05] ---
    Why did he get so mad?
[07:07] ---
    All us demons are like that.
[07:10] ---
    Look, Flonne, I think you've got
    some strange expectations about us.
[07:13] ---
    Maybe you're being a little unrealistic
    to hope to find love in a demon.
[07:17] ---
    But just now, that...
[07:19] ---
    This makes me so happy!
    Love really is amazing, isn't it?
[07:24] ---
    Yes, it truly is... Dood!
[07:28] ---
    "Just now"?
[07:29] ---
    N-Nothing happened at all, dood!
[07:32] ---
    "Dood"?
[07:34] ---
    Now I'm saying it!
[07:35] ---
    Um, uh... That is, I...
[07:38] ---
    Well, the Prince might be a special case.
[07:41] ---
    Special case?
[07:42] ---
    Yeah. The Prince's mother, in other words,
    the woman who used to be our Queen,
[07:48] ---
    was a bit of an oddball herself.
[07:50] ---
    At the drop of a hat, she'd start rambling
    on and on about stuff like love and kindness.
[07:54] ---
    Huh? But there's
    nothing strange about that.
[07:57] ---
    On the contrary, I'd say
    it's completely normal.
[07:59] ---
    I didn't have anything against the Queen,
[08:01] ---
    but I guess it's to be expected,
    her being human and all.
[08:04] ---
    Human? You mean
    Laharl's mother was a human?
[08:08] ---
    Yeah. She'd been kidnapped
    by some demon or other,
[08:11] ---
    and along came Overlord Krichevskoy
    to rescue her from his clutches.
[08:19] ---
    It was love at first sight for the Overlord.
[08:22] ---
    The happy couple got married,
    and the result is our feisty Prince.
[08:30] ---
    You're kidding! That's what happened?!
[08:33] ---
    Her Majesty would always say,
    "Demons feel love, too."
[08:37] ---
    It was like her catchphrase or something.
[08:39] ---
    She said that she wanted the Prince
    to grow up to be a kindhearted demon,
[08:42] ---
    so whenever he did something
    bad or hurt someone, she'd go,
[08:46] ---
    "Demons feel love, too, Laharl."
[08:49] ---
    "Everyone has a heart,
    and that heart is very delicate."
[08:52] ---
    "It can be hurt by the
    slightest little thing."
[08:55] ---
    "That's why I want you to treat
    everyone with kindness and love."
[08:59] ---
    It was like that.
[09:00] ---
    What a wonderful way
    to teach him about love!
[09:03] ---
    But you know, it kinda
    reminds me of what I said to him...
[09:07] ---
    You know, maybe you remind
    him of the Queen, Flonne.
[09:11] ---
    But if Laharl was raised
    by such a wonderful mother,
[09:15] ---
    why did he turn out the way he did?
[09:18] ---
    His mother died.
[09:21] ---
    A long time ago, the Prince
    came down with a disease
[09:24] ---
    that not even the
    Overlord's power could cure.
[09:28] ---
    There was only one thing that
    could save the Prince's life.
[09:32] ---
    Which was?
[09:33] ---
    The life of someone who loved him.
[09:36] ---
    Are you saying that she--
[09:37] ---
    The Overlord begged her not to, but she
    gave up her own life to save the Prince's.
[09:48] ---
    I think that's when it started.
[09:50] ---
    That's when he started
    to hate love and kindness.
[09:54] ---
    Oh, no... So are you saying that
    as long as that hatred remains,
[09:57] ---
    Laharl will have to go through
    life with his heart closed to love?
[10:03] ---
    But if that happens...
    It's too sad to think about!
[10:08] ---
    You might be right.
[10:09] ---
    But I don't think that the Prince
    intentionally hates those feelings.
[10:14] ---
    I guess hatred doesn't simply go
    away just because you want it to.
[10:18] ---
    That's just too sad...
[11:16] ---
    What are those lights?
[11:22] ---
    Those are their souls.
[11:28] ---
    Etna, what are those?
[11:30] ---
    Surely you've heard the stories.
[11:34] ---
    Within every Prinny is a soul
    of a human who has sinned.
[11:39] ---
    To atone for those sins, the Prinnies labor
    in either Celestia or the Netherworld.
[11:45] ---
    Those lights are the souls of those
    who have atoned for their sins.
[11:50] ---
    The red moon cleanses away
    the stain of their sins...
[11:54] ---
    ...and lets them be born
    into their next life.
[11:57] ---
    There's something heartwrenching
    about this sight, isn't there?
[11:59] ---
    Oh, what a heartwrenching sight!
[12:06] ---
    Damn it, I never said you
    stinking Prinnies could be reborn!
[12:10] ---
    I'm gonna yank your sorry hides
    back here by force if I have to!
[12:12] ---
    You mustn't interfere!
[12:18] ---
    Stand aside, Mid-Boss!
[12:29] ---
    Who do you people think you are?
[12:30] ---
    We take souls of Prinnies to the red moon...
[12:35] ---
    If you interfere, we eliminate you...
[12:36] ---
    "Eliminate" me, huh? Let's see you try!
    You're not getting those Prinnies!
[12:42] ---
    They're my vassals!
    From now until the end of time!
[13:01] ---
    "Disgaea"
[13:04] ---
    "Disgaea"
[13:14] ---
    I'm not letting the Prinnies go! Never!
[13:24] ---
    Get back here, Prinnies! I command it!
[13:27] ---
    You're my vassals, remember?!
[13:29] ---
    Stop this!
[13:43] ---
    Laharl!
[13:45] ---
    What do you think you're doing, Highness?
[13:51] ---
    My vassals are my personal property!
[13:54] ---
    I won't let you people walk off with them!
[13:59] ---
    You're the Overlord now, Highness!
[14:01] ---
    Why's the King of the Netherworld
    getting so worked up
[14:04] ---
    over little stuff like this
[14:05] ---
    when he's supposed to be on
    his way to take over Celestia?!
[14:08] ---
    Shut up! I'm not handing over these Prinnies!
[14:13] ---
    Why do you interfere with our work?
[14:16] ---
    Your work?
[14:18] ---
    They're right! You mustn't
    interfere with what they're doing!
[14:24] ---
    They are emissaries who are here
[14:26] ---
    to escort the Prinnies' souls
    safely to the red moon!
[14:30] ---
    What about it?
    What difference should that make?!
[14:37] ---
    Highness! If you truly value your vassals...
[14:43] ---
    ...if you have any affection for them at all,
[14:45] ---
    then surely you must be able to
    give their rebirth your blessing.
[14:50] ---
    The sinful human soul within each Prinny
[14:53] ---
    is as delicate and easily
    injured as anyone else's.
[14:57] ---
    If you are the true Overlord,
[14:59] ---
    I beg you, treat them with
    kindness, compassion, and love.
[15:04] ---
    To unite the Netherworld with
    love, kindness, and compassion!
[15:08] ---
    That is the mark of a true Overlord!
[15:10] ---
    What?!
[15:14] ---
    Demons feel love, too, Laharl.
[15:17] ---
    Demons feel love, too, Highness.
[15:20] ---
    Please, let them go.
    They have atoned for their sins.
[15:25] ---
    All that we can do is pray that
    their next life will be a happy one.
[15:33] ---
    Demons feel love, too, Laharl.
[15:43] ---
    This is what's best for the Prinnies?
[15:46] ---
    --It is.
[15:46] ---
    --It is.
[15:55] ---
    Fine, whatever. Do what you want.
[16:17] ---
    I'm glad that we got through to him.
[16:19] ---
    With my mind now at ease,
    I can leave for the red moon, too.
[16:26] ---
    Wait!
[16:27] ---
    What was... What sin did you commit?
[16:34] ---
    My sin was... I took my own life.
[16:39] ---
    To take your own life is a grave sin.
[16:43] ---
    But why would someone as kind
    and caring as you do such a thing?
[16:48] ---
    I did it to save the life of my son.
[16:55] ---
    My death caused my son to
    lock away his precious feelings.
[17:01] ---
    But now, little by little,
    he's beginning to change.
[17:06] ---
    He owes that to the wonderful
    people that surround him.
[17:12] ---
    My work here as his mother is complete.
[17:16] ---
    The rest is up to my son
    to see his own way through.
[17:27] ---
    Wait!
[17:31] ---
    Please, wait! If you love your son so much,
[17:35] ---
    why are you leaving
    without saying anything to him?!
[17:40] ---
    You're meaning to say
    that this is cruel, aren't you?
[17:43] ---
    Of course I want to tell
    him that I'm his mother!
[17:46] ---
    Of course I want to hold him in my arms!
[17:50] ---
    But if we would have to
    part again eventually,
[17:53] ---
    it would be just as much an act of love
[17:55] ---
    to watch over him in silence
    and leave without saying a word.
[18:01] ---
    Enduring that sadness once is enough.
[18:05] ---
    That is another way of showing your love.
[18:08] ---
    I'm sorry...
[18:09] ---
    I'm so sorry! I forced my
    own notion of love on you
[18:13] ---
    without stopping to consider your feelings!
[18:16] ---
    I'm sorry!
[18:18] ---
    The Prince truly has met a
    wonderful person, hasn't he?
[18:27] ---
    Highness, be well.
[18:30] ---
    Flonne, Etna, take good care of the Prince.
[18:34] ---
    We will!
[18:35] ---
    Will do!
[18:44] ---
    Well, it's time to go.
[18:47] ---
    Goodbye.
[18:50] ---
    ♪ Red moon, red moon... ♪
[18:57] ---
    ♪ The red moon will cleanse the souls
    of those who have sinned. ♪
[19:21] ---
    The red moon wobbled and trembled
    as it was reflected in Laharl's eyes.

[19:27] ---
    Just like his own heart
    was wavering inside him.

[19:30] ---
    He had always claimed that he felt no
    love or kindness because he was a demon.

[19:36] ---
    But I think that the real reason
    that he denied the love in his heart

[19:40] ---
    was because he loved his mother so much.
[19:43] ---
    His mother, who was so full of
    love and kindness, died in his place.

[19:51] ---
    Rejecting love and kindness
    was probably the only way

[19:55] ---
    that he could come to
    terms with his mother's death.

[19:59] ---
    I think it must have been hard for him.
    It must have been painful for him.

[20:03] ---
    And I think that it must
    have been very sad for him.

[20:07] ---
    But maybe the red moon in his eyes
    will wash away his painful past.

[20:40] ---
    That red moon was etched deep in my heart,
    along with a new type of love.

[20:48] ---
    I'll never forget their sad
    love for as long as I live.

[21:12] ---
    Everyone?
[21:15] ---
    What's the matter?
[21:17] ---
    Laharl, I mean Highness,
    I mean Overlord Laharl!
[21:21] ---
    You are now the mighty Overlord!
    The world is your oyster!
[21:26] ---
    There is nothing that the Overlord can't do!
[21:29] ---
    Gee, you sound like you were
    once Overlord yourself, Mid-Boss.
[21:34] ---
    Perish the thought!
[21:35] ---
    I'm just a humble Mid-Boss who
    happened to be passing through!
[21:38] ---
    Those two are a lot alike, aren't they?
[21:42] ---
    How are they alike?
[21:43] ---
    Um... They both kinda live in a bubble.
[21:46] ---
    Uh, I wouldn't be pointing
    any fingers there, Flonne.
[21:50] ---
    Well, no matter. I'm Overlord now.
[21:55] ---
    I am Overlord! Take me to Celestia!
[22:44] ---
    If people ever notice the cycle of time on
    this world where blue skies come and go,

[22:52] ---
    something's bound to happen when
    people with different outlooks get together.

[23:00] ---
    Will we be buried by our desires?
    Will love come and save the day?

[23:08] ---
    Either way, it doesn't matter to me.
    I'm gonna do as I please.

[23:15] ---
    Light and shadow, egoists for whom
    everything in the world has meaning,

[23:23] ---
    every little fragment lives his life
    with the balance on their shoulders.

[23:31] ---
    Doing whatever we want,
    having it exactly the way we want it.

[23:39] ---
    Right now, under the same sky,
[23:43] ---
    light and shadow repeat again and again.
[23:48] ---
    Chain react
[24:00] ---
    The Disgaea that you know and love
    will finally be coming to an end next week!

[24:04] ---
    What?! It's over already?!
    Aw, I wanted to see some more...

[24:08] ---
    No matter what you're doing,
    you gotta know when to fold 'em!

[24:10] ---
    Once Disgaea ends, tune in for the
    new show, "Flonne's Counterattack"!

[24:15] ---
    Actually, that sounds kinda interesting.
    Maybe I'll catch an episode.

[24:18] ---
    Next time on Disgaea,
    "Love... After the Fighting's Over."

[24:23] ---
    I can't believe it,
    you read off the final title!

[24:23] ---
    "Next Time:
    Love... After the Fighting's Over"
