[00:09] ---
    "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.
[01:39] ---
    Okay, Thursday, try starting her up!
[01:42] ---
    Roger. Starting engine.
[01:49] ---
    Finally... Finally!
[01:51] ---
    Repairs to the ship are finally finished!
[01:54] ---
    Our days of meekly slaving away at part-time
    jobs here in the Netherworld are over, too!
[01:59] ---
    Let's go, Jennifer! Thursday!
[02:01] ---
    Gordon, Defender of Earth, lifting off!
[02:08] ---
    "Space Battleship Gargantua"
[02:16] ---
    Highness, maybe we
    should've taken the long way...
[02:21] ---
    Be quiet!
[02:22] ---
    As I recall, you were the one who said
[02:24] ---
    that this would be the quickest
    way back to the Overlord's Castle!
[02:26] ---
    Well, Flonne's having a little trouble...
[02:28] ---
    Now what?
[02:34] ---
    This hill is really steep!
[02:39] ---
    What was that?
[02:44] ---
    So, you're still hanging around here, I see!
[02:47] ---
    Why, if it isn't Mr. Gordon!
[02:49] ---
    Feast your eyes on this, ladies and demons!
[02:51] ---
    My spaceship is finally
    back among the living!
[02:55] ---
    That's terrific news! Congratulations!
[02:59] ---
    Now, then, Prince of the Netherworld!
[03:02] ---
    I demand that you face me
    fair and square this time!
[03:05] ---
    All right, Defender of Earth!
[03:07] ---
    Out of respect for your tenacious pursuit,
    I will accept your challenge!
[03:12] ---
    You really mean it?!
[03:13] ---
    Wow, this is a first. The Prince is
    gonna fight a duel fair and square?
[03:18] ---
    What brought on this sudden change of heart?
[03:20] ---
    Surely it's because
[03:21] ---
    the seeds of righteousness
    have begun to blossom in his heart!
[03:24] ---
    Even demons have an innate
    sense of right and wrong!
[03:27] ---
    As if.
[03:28] ---
    I know the perfect place for our fight!
[03:31] ---
    How about it? I'll show you the way,
    so will you fight me there?
[03:34] ---
    Very well! Lead the way!
[03:38] ---
    Now this is more like it!
[03:39] ---
    This is so amazing!
[03:42] ---
    This is really neat, too!
[03:43] ---
    And this is great, too!
[03:45] ---
    And so's this!
[03:46] ---
    You're terrific too, Thursday!
[03:48] ---
    Don't skimp on the compliments!
[03:50] ---
    Jennifer built Thursday
    here to be the ultimate robot!
[03:54] ---
    Wow! Jennifer built Thursday herself?
[03:58] ---
    That's right! In addition to being my
    sidekick, she's also a scientific genius!
[04:02] ---
    She's the partner that I trust more
    than anyone else in the world!
[04:05] ---
    Oh! What's this book?
[04:09] ---
    That book isn't meant for
    the eyes of children!
[04:12] ---
    Hey, that's--
[04:14] ---
    Why, this is the Demon Tome!
[04:16] ---
    Wow! We spent all that time looking for it,
    and it was here all along?
[04:19] ---
    The "Demon Tome"?
[04:21] ---
    I can't believe it was here the whole time...
[04:23] ---
    Would someone please tell me
    what this "Demon Tome" is?
[04:25] ---
    It's a very important book.
[04:26] ---
    Whoever possesses it is
    recognized as the legitimate Overlord.
[04:29] ---
    You don't say...
[04:31] ---
    Just a minute, now. As I recall,
    inside it was a bunch of--
[04:34] ---
    The kind of things that
    make guys start to pant.
[04:38] ---
    What are you supposed
    to use the stuff in here for?
[04:40] ---
    What, don't you know?
    Usually, guys use it to--
[04:45] ---
    What a noisy human...
[04:47] ---
    I'll explain it to you later, Flonne.
[04:49] ---
    More to the point, a book like
    this proves that you're Overlord?
[04:52] ---
    You two don't understand the
    true significance of this book.
[04:55] ---
    Oh, so you know what you're supposed
    to do with this stuff, Highness?
[04:59] ---
    Drop the innuendo! You'll see soon enough.
[05:04] ---
    All right, human. Take
    us across this mountain.
[05:06] ---
    Crossing mountain, aye!
[05:10] ---
    Set us down at that castle.
[05:12] ---
    Setting down, aye!
[05:16] ---
    What a fine castle!
[05:17] ---
    A fitting place for the final showdown
[05:19] ---
    between the Overlord
    and the Defender of Earth!
[05:28] ---
    Wait here. I'll go make
    the necessary arrangements.
[05:31] ---
    I'll be waiting! I look forward to our duel!
[05:34] ---
    You're quite a tactician, Highness!
[05:36] ---
    The way you got us here
    without walking was sheer genius!
[05:40] ---
    All humans are good for
    is providing taxi service!
[05:43] ---
    I'm guessing that there
    isn't gonna be a fight, either?
[05:44] ---
    Of course not.
    Why should I waste my time?
[05:47] ---
    So, who lives in this castle?
[05:50] ---
    This is my castle! The Overlord's Castle!
[05:53] ---
    Oh, so we finally made
    it to your home, Laharl!
[06:15] ---
    I finally made it back!
[06:17] ---
    Gosh, this place could do with a cleaning...
[06:19] ---
    Want me to call in the Prinny Squad?
[06:21] ---
    No, that won't be necessary.
[06:52] ---
    I hereby lay claim to the throne!
[06:55] ---
    He who possesses the
    Demon Tome shall be Overlord!
[06:58] ---
    I am Laharl!
[07:00] ---
    Hear me, Demon Tome!
    Grant your power unto me!
[07:42] ---
    What in the world is that?!
[08:12] ---
    Now enacting directive 294.
[08:16] ---
    Transmitting guide beacon.
[08:23] ---
    What do you mean?
    What's going on here, Thursday?
[08:26] ---
    Thursday! I don't believe it! Are you--
[08:29] ---
    Now engaging secondary
    behavior program sequence.
[08:55] ---
    Now I'm finally the true Overlord.
[08:58] ---
    Congratulations, Laharl!
[09:01] ---
    Wow, so I guess it was just the
    cover that marks you as the Overlord,
[09:04] ---
    and the cheesecake pics inside
    are there for other reasons.
[09:07] ---
    Uh, Highness? The floor is shaking.
[09:10] ---
    Are you doing this, too?
[09:12] ---
    I don't know what it is.
    I'm not the one doing it.
[09:18] ---
    What's going on? Jennifer,
    is Thursday malfunctioning?
[09:22] ---
    No, this was supposed to happen.
[09:26] ---
    It's for the best.
[09:37] ---
    What just happened?!
[09:54] ---
    It's the Gargantua,
    Earth's mightiest space battleship!
[09:59] ---
    That's so cool! I want one!
[10:03] ---
    It's too amazing for words!
[10:05] ---
    One of those?! Lady, you've
    got some strange hobbies...
[10:08] ---
    Now I see! They must be here to cheer
    me on in my final battle against the Prince!
[10:13] ---
    Oh, what a heartening sight this is!
[10:15] ---
    Hey! I'm down here!
    Can you see me, everyone?!
[10:32] ---
    This isn't right.
[10:33] ---
    What isn't?
[10:35] ---
    Humans have stumbled
    their way into the Netherworld
[10:37] ---
    every now and again over the years.
[10:40] ---
    But this...
[10:40] ---
    They're deliberately creating a
    rift in the fabric of space itself!
[10:47] ---
    Are humans really capable of doing that?
[10:51] ---
    It sure looks that way.
[10:53] ---
    You did this?!
[10:54] ---
    No! I couldn't possibly
    have called them here!
[10:57] ---
    But surely they are here
    to assist the Defender of--
[11:23] ---
    Why?! I don't understand!
    They're not here to cheer me on?!
[11:27] ---
    You fool! This is an all-out invasion
    of the Netherworld by you humans!
[11:32] ---
    An invasion...?
[11:33] ---
    Humanity would never
    do such a terrible thing!
[11:37] ---
    No, Gordon. What he says is true.
[11:41] ---
    This was all planned by my father
    for the good of Earth.
[11:45] ---
    Your father? But you
    told me that your parents
[11:47] ---
    both passed away
    when you were a little girl!
[11:50] ---
    Her foster father is Supreme Commander
    Carter of the Earth Defense Force!
[11:58] ---
    Wait, you're--!
[12:05] ---
    "Disgaea"
[12:08] ---
    "Disgaea"
[12:20] ---
    Wait, you're--!
[12:21] ---
    It's been a long time, Gordon!
[12:24] ---
    Kurtis, Defender of Earth, has arrived!
[12:27] ---
    Oh, wow! Now the hero's
    archrival has appeared!
[12:31] ---
    Flonne, you're way too into this.
[12:51] ---
    So, foul demons, I see that
    you're not putting up a fight at all!
[12:55] ---
    But that is good news for us.
    The Netherworld will belong to humanity.
[12:59] ---
    This is the only way to save Earth!
[13:03] ---
    Commander! Someone is
    closing in on us at high speed!
[13:07] ---
    Ignore it! It's not as if these
    demons can do anything to stop us!
[13:10] ---
    After all, this grand armada of ours
    is made up of two million ships!
[13:14] ---
    Flying object detected on scopes!
    Transferring to main screen!
[13:19] ---
    What a fool! What can one
    lowly demon do against us?!
[13:23] ---
    All right, you stupid human weaklings!
[13:26] ---
    It's time for you to learn the hard
    way the terror that is the Overlord!
[13:36] ---
    126th Fleet destroyed!
[13:38] ---
    The Olympus, flagship of the 412th Fleet,
    has been destroyed!
[13:42] ---
    Receiving a transmission from the
    15th Fleet! "Unable to fight!" I repeat--
[13:46] ---
    Impossible!
[13:47] ---
    One lone demon is making mincemeat
    out of our two million ship space armada?!
[13:53] ---
    I can't believe it!
[13:55] ---
    Why do you not use the weapon
    which I entrusted to you?
[13:59] ---
    Humanity will secure their
    future with their own two hands!
[14:04] ---
    I appreciate all that you have done for us.
[14:07] ---
    Nevertheless, this battle is between
    us humans and the Netherworld.
[14:11] ---
    Goodness, you've become
    an idealist at this late date?
[14:14] ---
    I'm just--
[14:15] ---
    87th and 89th Fleets report severe damage!
[14:18] ---
    The 101st Fleet is
    completely dead in space, too!
[14:25] ---
    This is great! It's like we're watching a
    final throwdown between two lifelong rivals!
[14:29] ---
    Flonne, you are way too happy about this!
[14:37] ---
    Gordon, hang in there!
[14:40] ---
    I don't understand...
    Why are you doing this, Kurtis?
[14:50] ---
    A buffoon like you has no need to know.
[14:52] ---
    Thursday, do it.
[14:54] ---
    Roger.
[15:02] ---
    Let go of me, damn it!
[15:04] ---
    Please put us down!
[15:06] ---
    This won't hold me!
[15:09] ---
    Etna!
[15:11] ---
    I suggest that you refrain
    from trying anything foolish.
[15:15] ---
    Stop this, Thursday!
[15:16] ---
    You still haven't caught on?
    You've been used.
[15:20] ---
    What?!
[15:27] ---
    Now then, Princess.
    The Supreme Commander awaits.
[15:30] ---
    Father is waiting?
[15:31] ---
    The Commander ordered me to come
    here and rescue you and you alone.
[15:35] ---
    You see, we can't attack the
    Overlord's Castle with you here.
[15:39] ---
    No! I'm not going anywhere!
    I'm staying here with Gordon!
[15:44] ---
    We should never have
    gone through with this!
[15:46] ---
    Even you would understand that if you
    saw the demons' world for yourself, Kurtis!
[15:51] ---
    The Netherworld has its own daily rhythms.
[15:54] ---
    The demons try to live as
    best they can, just like we do!
[15:58] ---
    We have no right to
    take that away from them!
[16:00] ---
    Now, now, this disobedience won't do at all.
[16:02] ---
    I could finish Gordon
    off right here if you like.
[16:05] ---
    The man calls himself the Defender of Earth,
[16:07] ---
    but he can't even deal
    with the Overlord by himself.
[16:11] ---
    Jennifer...! Don't give in to his threats!
[16:15] ---
    Justice always triumphs in the end!
[16:17] ---
    Oh, shut up!
[16:18] ---
    How can you treat a
    defenseless person like that?!
[16:20] ---
    I'm warning you,
    you're really starting to piss me off!
[16:24] ---
    I'll go with you.
[16:25] ---
    Good girl.
[16:26] ---
    Jennifer!
[16:27] ---
    Jennifer, don't do it! Don't do
    anything that goes against your beliefs!
[16:31] ---
    Remember, you're the partner
    of the Defender of Earth!
[16:35] ---
    Maybe I spent too long by your side.
[16:40] ---
    I'm the one who deserves to be punished.
[16:46] ---
    Jennifer...
[16:49] ---
    Jennifer!
[16:55] ---
    That big one is going down next!
[16:57] ---
    Demon closing in!
[16:58] ---
    Fire! Fire! Fire! Fire everything you've got!
[17:02] ---
    Shoot down that demon!
[17:19] ---
    Who are you?
[17:21] ---
    Kurtis, Defender of Earth.
[17:24] ---
    You're one of those "Defenders," too, huh?
[17:25] ---
    Careful, now!
    These two are your friends, right?!
[17:29] ---
    You don't want anything
    unpleasant to happen to them, do you?
[17:31] ---
    Highness!
[17:32] ---
    Laharl!
[17:34] ---
    What are you two doing?
[17:37] ---
    Being held prisoner, duh!
[17:38] ---
    Be careful! This man is really, really tough!
[17:42] ---
    He's Mr. Gordon's rival!
[17:45] ---
    That's a human for you.
[17:46] ---
    You have potential, trying to
    threaten me by taking hostages.
[17:51] ---
    But taking hostages won't work with me!
[17:54] ---
    Laharl, you're joking!
[17:56] ---
    Yeah, I guess that trying to strong-arm
    the Prince by taking hostages
[18:00] ---
    would only make him happy, wouldn't it?
[18:02] ---
    You don't say? In that case,
    I'll just have to give this a try!
[18:17] ---
    It's resonating?
[18:20] ---
    Fire!
[18:23] ---
    Highness!
[18:24] ---
    Laharl!
[18:25] ---
    Most impressive... We should
    have used this in the first place.
[18:30] ---
    It has a devastating
    effect on demons, all right!
[18:33] ---
    Now I get it... This is exactly
    the same as when I tried to hold--
[18:38] ---
    Flonne, don't tell me that that
    beam just now uses Celestian--
[18:43] ---
    But why...?
[18:48] ---
    You're still standing, eh?
[18:50] ---
    Of course I am. Who do you think I am?
[18:54] ---
    I'm the mighty Overlord Laharl!
[18:56] ---
    The Netherworld will
    fall under human control.
[18:59] ---
    Thursday here
[19:00] ---
    has been relaying information about
    the various places he's been,
[19:03] ---
    providing us with data on the Netherworld,
    which we previously knew nothing about.
[19:07] ---
    Beep beep blip beep.
[19:08] ---
    Gee, keep up the good work.
[19:10] ---
    What's more, Thursday had a top-secret
    mission to set up a system of devices
[19:14] ---
    that would open a dimensional rift which
    would allow us to enter the Netherworld.
[19:19] ---
    Needless to say, that project was carried
    out by Jennifer, Thursday's inventor,
[19:22] ---
    under the orders of her father,
    Supreme Commander Carter.
[19:28] ---
    You're back, Jennifer!
[19:31] ---
    Father...
[19:32] ---
    That sounds really impressive, all right,
[19:35] ---
    but your little scheme was
    actually pretty pedestrian.
[19:38] ---
    So Mr. Gordon was--
[19:40] ---
    He was kept in the dark about it.
[19:42] ---
    We needed a clueless scapegoat
    to keep you people distracted.
[19:47] ---
    You're the clueless one here.
[19:50] ---
    You make it sound like
    you did all this yourselves,
[19:52] ---
    but you humans had help setting
    up this invasion, didn't you?
[19:56] ---
    Chew on this.
[19:59] ---
    Highness!
[20:00] ---
    Laharl!
[20:18] ---
    That hurt!
[20:19] ---
    Hey, go easy on the merchandise, pal!
[20:21] ---
    Silence, demon!
[20:23] ---
    Why, you little--
[20:27] ---
    Etna!
[20:28] ---
    Damn it, that hurt!
[20:31] ---
    Jennifer...
[20:33] ---
    I'm sorry that I got you
    two involved in all this...
[20:36] ---
    Jennifer, you have to tell me!
[20:38] ---
    As a Celestian, there's
    something that I have to know!
[20:44] ---
    I don't think we have any
    further need for the hostages.
[20:47] ---
    They still have some
    value as bargaining chips.
[20:50] ---
    They do, eh? In that case,
    I'll leave them to you.
[20:55] ---
    Gentlemen, the Overlord has fallen!
    Now for the final blow!
[21:00] ---
    We'll burn the Netherworld to the ground
    and remake it into a world fit for humans!
[21:04] ---
    Prepare to fire Astro Particle Cannon!
[21:07] ---
    Prepare to fire Astro Particle Cannon!
[21:40] ---
    Oh, it's you?
[21:41] ---
    Please, I need your help!
[21:43] ---
    Oh, so a human wants to make
    a deal with this devil, huh?
[21:48] ---
    Call it what you will!
[21:49] ---
    For the sake of those tears in
    Jennifer's eyes, I have to go after her!
[21:54] ---
    Go if you want.
[21:56] ---
    But...
[22:01] ---
    Those bastards have gone
    and made me really angry!
[22:06] ---
    Energy charge in progress. 100... 200...
[22:10] ---
    Safety locks disengaged!
[22:11] ---
    Engage anti-flash defenses!
[22:13] ---
    Firing preparations complete!
[22:14] ---
    Open fire!
[22:15] ---
    Fire!
[22:26] ---
    "To Be Continued"
[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
[23:59] ---
    The terrible Gordon, Defender of Earth,
    launches a sudden attack on the Netherworld!

[24:04] ---
    Don't be so melodramatic.
[24:06] ---
    Rising up to defend the Netherworld
    as it bears the brunt

[24:07] ---
    of the humans' cruel atrocities
[24:09] ---
    is Etna, the babe messiah!
[24:11] ---
    Rise up and fight, Etna!
    The Netherworld has been waiting for you!

[24:15] ---
    Nobody's waiting for you, lady.
[24:17] ---
    Next time on Disgaea!
    "The Defender of Tomorrow is You!"

[24:21] ---
    Who do you mean?
[24:22] ---
    Well, like it says, it's "you"!
[24:23] ---
    "Next Time:
    The Defender of Tomorrow is You!"
[24:23] ---
    Oh, it's me?
