Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories/YMMV


 * Alas, Poor Villain:  in the Manga.
 * Big Lipped Alligator Moment: When recruiting Pleinair.


 * Crowning Music of Awesome The incredibly awesome "White Tiger."
 * Fridge Brilliance:
 * Game Breaker: Dark Hero Days' DLC for Pleinair and Sapphire are free. They're both level 100. You can get them from the beginning. Pleinair joins you without a fight. End boss of the story is level 90. Do the math.
 * You can also recruit Sapphire at the beginning of the game by pounding on her with Pleinair while your normal characters act as bait as she will make a beeline for them due to the huge difference in level.
 * Thanks to how standard status effects work, the Sleep + Poison combo. Thieves can inflict both with a 100% hit rate in any enemy that is not a bonus boss. Since poison takes 20% of the unit's max HP, all it takes to kill any enemy in the game is to make them sleep, then poison, then wait five turns. The Kunoichi class goes beyond by being able to inflict the same statuses from four paneels away in a cross-shaped area, hitting up to five enemies. A team of 10 Kunoichies with no equipment at Lv. 30 can break throught Axel Mode without taking any damage, wich means a lot when the enemimes go all the way up to Lv. 250 there.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: The worst ending, in part because you do NOT expect this sort of thing out of this series.
 * It's so infamous for its vicious swerve that it has even been compared to the legendary NICE BOAT ending.
 * While there is no Worst Ending in the manga, Adell has this nightmare...
 * Hilarious in Hindsight: According to their names and descriptions, magic monster weapons are all Tomes Of Eldritch Lore. One of them is named Twilight. Coincidence?
 * HSQ: The worst ending tends to horrify people when they see it. Just look at the comments on you tube. Often compared to Silent Hill in horror factor.
 * Ho Yay: "The Dark Hero I fell in love with is back." Uh, if you say so, Mr. Director guy...
 * Moe: Admit it, Yukimaru is the cutest ninja in existence, zam.
 * Moral Event Horizon: in the worst ending.
 * Replacement Scrappy: Adell, though fans have been warming up to him a bit, especially after his Crowning Moment of Awesome in the manga.
 * Shocking Swerve: The worst ending is probably the most disturbing thing Nippon Ichi has ever produced, up there with Soul Nomad and The World Eaters Demon Path ending.
 * Woolseyism: Though many know him as Axel, it was actually a change made by NISA as his original name was Akutare. Some sources, including the credits at the end of the Japanese version of Disgaea 2, romanize it as Octalley.
 * Anything related to "Beauty Queen" Etna. Her title in the Japanese version is "Majin/Demon God/Demon Lord". A considerable amount of dialogue was added to make fun of the change, including the infamous line where she claims to have hacked her title.
 * Prism Rangers: "We are delivering justice... Even when no one asks us to." The second part of this phrase is US-exclusive.
 * Speaking of the Prism Rangers, in the original Japanese version Prism Orange speaks like a stereotypical Japanophile character in an anime, speaking Japanese with a distinct foreign accent. The American version inverts this by having him speaking Engrish phrases with an Asian accent.
 * "You have friends that care about you...and Etna." In fact, most of the jokes in the game were added in the English version.
 * The Kurtis clones were given a voice and speaking manner that parodies William Shatner.
 * Game Breaker: Adell is an extremely broken DLC character in the third game. Evility that does 30% more damage when attacking one on one plus an S-ranked innate technique which uses an element that many story mode bosses are weak against equals major pain.
 * He can even get an 10% status boost in every stat and an extra 20% boost in his critical stats from sitting next to Rozalin in the classroom. Interestingly enough these two are in the same download pack.
 * HSQ:
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel, too.
 * National Stereotype: The English dub version of Tink. With the accent in mind, his title of Dirty Frog likely refers to more than just his shape and his lechery.
