"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.

**[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.*

*Light and shadow, egoists for whom
everything in the world has meaning,*

*Chain react*

*The Disgaea that you know and love
will finally be coming to an end next week!*
