Line #6 YMMV/PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero


1	* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Is Etna really that [[SpoiledBrat bratty]] to send 1000 prinnies to their assumed deaths over a hard-to-make dessert? Or....[[spoiler: did she really know what Sir Sweet was up to, knew that he was the one capturing the prinnies, and thus [[BatmanGambit knew that creating the Ultra Dessert would bring him out of hiding?]] [[GambitRoulette Further, knowing the Prinnies would fight as much as possible to keep their skins, follow him to the ends of the Netherworld to get the dessert back, and thus lead to the G-Sweet that Sir Sweet was making?]]]]
2	** Similar to the above, based on what Etna said to Laharl, is she constantly torturing and making the prinnies lives miserable because she's a whiny bitch, or is she trying to help them reincarnate faster?
3	** [[WildMassGuessing Some subscribe to the notion that]] [[TheHero the Hero prinny]] is merely a single prinny that actually accomplished all those badass feats himself seeing as though, [[JustifiedTrope despite in-game justification for the life system being 1000 separate prinnies,]] it's been shown that, no matter how many prinnies died, all the playable ones have the exact same personality & voice despite the fact that it's been shown that the prinnies in the hub all have voices & personalities separate from the protagonist.
4	* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_l4he6rtgP0 The ''Disgaea: The Love-Hate Battle Tale'' joke trailer in Prinny 2]], a murder mystery game in which Laharl, Etna, and Flonne are depicted as adults in a more realistic art style. Laharl, in particular, has chest hair.
5	* BrokenBase: Multiple theories exist on when this game is set in the continuity, if it's an AlternateUniverse, or if it's even canon at all.
6	* DemonicSpiders:
7	** Both versions of the Specters. The Purple Specters constantly follow you until you destroy them, which is easier said than done since they're always moving and will usually try to crash into you. When they do stop moving, they're almost always outside of your jumping range and they will proceed to unleash several swift lightning bolt attacks. Red Specters only fly in circular patterns, but they usually show up above a BottomlessPit. And then if you [[BerserkButton kill their kids...]] The sequel adds the ''[[KingMook King]]'' Specter, which acts as a hybrid of both of the previous Specters and has kids that regenerate.
8	** Ninja. [[NinjaLog Can't be stunned]]. TeleportSpam. Hard-to-avoid projectile and dash attacks. Goddamn ninja. Then, you have the Shadow Master variants who, in addition to all of the above, have the ability to ''block your attacks''.
9	** Tarmen. Little NighInvulnerable blobs of gunk that tend to pop up in the worst places on harder levels, can't be stunned period, and are slow as molasses, so getting them to get out of the way takes forever. On the plus side, they learn how to hightail it whenever you hop into a tank.
10	** In the sequel, you have the Lilith. TeleportSpam and the minute they say ''{{Ecchi}}'', they send a swarm of bats that home in on you. They're invincible during this attack too.
11	** The Metal Imp. An invincible (and smarter) imp that will not go away. ''Ever.'' The only way to get rid of it is to stun it and throw it down a bottomless pit.
12	** Archers. They shoot flaming arrows in a wide arc, sometimes even three at once.
13	* EvenBetterSequel: Thanks to the addition of [[EasyModeMockery Baby Mode]], extra playable characters, and a unique extra scenario starring EnsembleDarkhorse Asagi.
14	* FanNickname: [[VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy Prinny: I Wanna Be the Dood]]
15	** The Prinny wearing the scarf is simply regarded as a Prinny. Fans call him Hero Prinny to tell him apart from the rest of the Prinnies. Seems to have become AscendedFanon in ''VideoGame/{{Disgaea 3\|AbsenceOfJustice}}'', as Hero Prinny is his title.
16	* GameBreaker: The [[AwesomeButImpractical Prinny Raid]] turns the BigBad boss fight into a cakewalk....if you're in story mode, that is.
17	* GoddamnedBats:
18	** Imps. Not so bad on their own, but when they come in swarms, you'll be pulling your hair out. Oh and they're constantly following you. And now the sequel has a ''metal variant''.
19	** Mothmen and their Unknown variant. Both come in swarms, often when you're facing PlatformHell.
20	* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments:
21	** The end credits. Take some really heartmoving music (Kusha Kusha No Yume ( Wrinkled Dreams)), and still scenes that show [[spoiler: Morgan playing with his kid, photoshoots for the [[UnsettlingGenderReveal incubus]], [[CatGirl Cardamon]] meowing with [[AxeCrazy Anise]], and several other little humorous/cute shots]], you can't help but feel that all the [[NintendoHard hell]] you went through was absolutely [[WorthIt worth it.]]
22	** Almost any moment between Asagi and Flonne in Asagi Mode.
23	** Asagi appears, in this game, much more grounded and determined to prove herself worthy of being a Main Character. When she finally appears in ''Disgaea 1 Complete'', She's making a cameo from '''''her''''' ''game'', effectively meaning the reason, in this game, she's not her [[SpotlightStealingSquad usual self]] is that the Asagi of this Netherworld '''''has''''' her game!
24	* HilariousInHindsight: In the first game, Etna hacked her [=PS3=], and her games were all pirated. This wasn't possible until 2011, when George Hotz published the [[TechnoBabble root key]] for the aforementioned, allowing the system to be hacked. The game was first released in '''2008.'''
25	* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: The Asagi Wars ending, which doubles as a ShoutOut to the climax of ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars: Episode IV]]'' taken up to eleven and a Heartwarming moment to see Asagi be fully redeemed afterwards.
26	* SpiritualLicensee: It's basically VideoGame/GhostsNGoblins with a VideoGame/{{Disgaea}} skin.
27	* ThatOneBoss:
28	** The second battle against Sir Sweet. The good news is that he follows the same exact pattern every time you fight him. The bad news is that, unlike most bosses, you can't stun him with by [[GroundPound Ground Pounding]] him, meaning your only method of attack is to slowly chip him with your dagger attacks [[note]] In most boss battles, if you GroundPound the boss a certain amount of times, they will be stunned and will take much more damage than usual[[/note]] and you're fighting him on a VERY small platform, giving you very little room to dodge his attack. And if that wasn't enough, you still have to beat him under three minutes like every other boss. Expect to be losing a good portion of your lives.
29	** The CHEFBOT-9000 is the game's way of telling you [[DifficultySpike just]] [[SerialEscalation how hard]] things are going to become. Like the above example, you can't GroundPound him; you have to throw three bombs into his keyhole (the TOP of the keyhole), and then move in and wail on him. You can only get bombs when he smashes the floor, an attack that covers about half the platform. He also has a charge move that not only sucks away precious room, but can also ''push you down a bottomless pit at random.'' Finally, the computer can just have him [[TheComputerIsACheatingBastard dash back and forth forever]], making it impossible to get any more bombs. He also takes a ton of hits, meaning you'll have to do this four to five times if you're good. Oh, and you have three minutes. Enjoy.
30	** [[spoiler:The Black Prinnies]] in the sequel. Each of them die in one hit, but there are a hundred of them, and their attacks become a lot less predictable about 1/3 of the way through the fight. To make matters worse, the only sure way to kill one without getting hit yourself is with a hip drop, and if you miss, you leave yourself wide open.
31	** [[spoiler:[[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever Junkie Etna]]]]. Like Sir Sweet, she can't be stunned, and has a ton of health. On the plus side, you're given cannons to make big attacks on the main body, but this is mitigated by the fact that to use said cannons, you have to break the crate that covers their switches and it takes a lot just to break them. On top of that, you're constantly being bombarded by BeamSpam attacks and sporadic fireball attacks from her moving core. Again, the [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic music]] manages to make the pain slightly more bearable.
32	** Also in the sequel, [[VideoGame/MakaiKingdom Pram]]. Defeating her unlocks a GameBreaker facility for your concierge, and you better believe she will make you ''earn'' it. Her attacks are on par with certain {{Bullet Hell}}s. Thankfully, you have infinite lives for this particular battle.
33	* ThatOneLevel: Asagi mode's Magma Hideout. Already a difficult level in normal mode, the Asagi Mode version punishes you after the last checkpoint with a long path to the goal, an annoying barrage of GoddamnBats in the form of ninjas, shadow masters, archers, and unknown, and a swinging gargoyle head stopping you literally inches from the goal. Good luck.
34	* ThatOneSidequest: Collecting the Torn Letters. It starts out as a fun diversion between levels, but eventually becomes PlatformHell.
35	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: [[TheOtherDarrin Changing the voices of returning characters]] in the sequel was not well-received, but none drew as much ire as changing Laharl's voice, especially since he was PromotedToPlayable.
