** In ''{{Disgaea 3}}'', the Raspberyl ending states she has a lifespan of 10,108 years, and the same game places biologically adult characters such as Big Star, Salvatore, and Mr Champloo at 2670 or so. My guess is that ImmortalityBeginsAtTwenty. That theory also explains Lammington looking middle-aged at 9000-ish.

* Also, Flonne seems to have the ability to change freely from fallen angel to archangel (Which at this point is still her angel trainee outfit) in {{Disgaea 3}}'s Raspberyl Mode. Speaking of time paradox, the bottlemail ending is only one ending. One of the other endings is Laharl eating Etna's pudding, which makes her quit, become a Demon Lord, and travel to another Netherworld, [[{{Disgaea 2}} Veldime]]. And then there's an entry that mentions 1000 Prinnies being sent off in search of the Ultra Dessert, but in PrinnyCanIReallyBeTheHero, Laharl died and became a Prinny and Etna is a Demon Lord. Then again, at the end of the AttractMode trailer, Laharl does say this:

[[WMG: Why was everyone so ridiculously afraid of Tyrant Valvatorez?]]
*Isn't is kind of strange that he was utterly infamous for being the "[[RedBaron blood-soaked king of carnage and absolute evil]]" despite not being malicious in the slightest? Did no one other than Fenrich (and even then, he was TheMole to begin with) bother actually getting to know the guy?

* This actually has real-world parallels in oil. Take, for instance, Iran, which has less than 5% of the known global oil supply. We might even be able to get by without Iranian oil. But the stuff is limited enough overall that any news relating to Iran that might impact its ability to deliver on that oil when it counts makes gas prices jump up, and freeing of economic sanctions would make gas prices drop noticeably. The differences, of course, are that oil isn't renewable on a reasonable timescale but is stockpiled underground, whereas awe energy is renewable on a reasonable timescale but only has what is renewed at any given time, and is thus more vulernable to fluctuations in that renewal (as with real rewnewable energy sources).

***It's canon that Etna's powerful enough to be an Overlord, but is too lazy to make it worth it. Not to mention the power upgrade she gets in Disgaea D2, which most likely puts her on the same level, if not above, Laharl and Mao. She even gets an evility titled The Lone Majin aka The Lone Demon God.

** Honestly, all I can think of is that it discourages from making a single "Uber-unit" capable of doing anything, and more tends towards having multiple units for different situations (healing/buffs, attacking, etc...)

* Could there have originally been just one Netherworld, but other human worlds were corrupted just like Veldime? Angels are pretty well behaved, so I can't see them invading other worlds and conquering them. Demons, however, fight like mad over who gets to be Overlord, so I can easily imagine the occasional powerful demon coming in second and saying "Fine, I'll just StartMyOwn Netherworld...[[{{Futurama}} with blackjack, and hookers]]"!

* It could also be a question of Title, which as D3 reveals, can change you both physically and mentally. When Mao gets a hero title (even a fake one) he starts acting more heroic. When Almaz gets a demon title, he actually starts growing fangs. These changes are minor though; neither gets any alterations to their stats, and when Flonne became a demon she was basically the same person. So perhaps a well behaved demon could acquire an angelic title, and thus would be for all intents and purposes an angel, despite being the same in every other respect. Maybe a new title is what passing the test gets you.

** Flonne: (How is she not higher? She is stated to be weaker than full Angels, you know... a GENERIC class. She would be about the same as Demon-in-training Almaz. Furthermore, she's too kind to ever fight at full power.)

**** It's stated in ''{{Disgaea 4}}'', humans by definition are only at about 30% or so power when in a Netherworld. The exception is one that has conviction to the point of being delusional. ''That's'' why the Defender of Earth is effective; and by placing herself "under" Gordon; Jennifer gets that bonus too. (Gordon's pretty good against normal Demons. He unfortunately ran into the Overlord.)

* Demons in general tend to dress in a rather {{Stripperific}} manner. Laharl is a WalkingShirtlessScene in short-shorts. When Flonne became a Fallen Angel, she took to wearing a red one-piece. Besides, it suits Etna's personality to dress that way. She may not be physically mature enough to be TheVamp, but she certainly has the right attitude.

*Presumably, D4's Human World is one part of a bigger problem. Celestia presumably needs all the awe energy they can get, and as humans advance, their fear and awe goes away from the demons/angels and towards themselves, thus they don't give as much as they used to. Considering how presumably little they get from the increasing number of advanced human worlds, even just one giving nothing would likely be enough to lead to a shortage.

* With the characters of Disgaea 4 specifically pointing out that they're vampires and werewolves, as opposed to JUST demons, it seems to me that before this, most demons were simply "demons" without a specific species attached.

** Demons without a specific species are probably the Netherworld equivalent to humans. That's how you get all the human-like fighters and archers and the like. They're "demons", they have pointed ears and live for several thousand years, but they don't have anything particularly special about them after that.
*** This probably ties into the long-running background plot point that humans, demons, and angels might be {{Main/Not So Different}}
