*** [[DroppedaBridgetonHim Named]] [[GuiltyGear Bridget]]

* DroppedABridgetOnHim: Tink attempts to hit on the CuteMonsterGirl in Adell's hometown only to find out it's actually a Cute Monster ''Guy''. For more fun, he's [[ShoutOut also named]] [[GuiltyGear Bridget.]]
** It should also be noted that the Angel who joins up in Axel Mode is affected by abilities and effects that only affect ''male'' characters.

* RestartAtLevelOne: Etna, due to a summoning ritual gone bad.
** In a more meta-example, [[spoiler:the level 1900 Zenon reincarnating as a noncombative young girl, who is indeed level 1 and completely clueless about battle when the story starts.]]

* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: Adell does this to Rozalin after she totally wigs out in a battle against [[spoiler:Laharl]] and starts to attack her teammates. This becomes [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome retroactively awesome]] when you realize that [[spoiler:she reverted back to [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Overlord Zenon]]]], meaning that [[spoiler:Adell just {{Bright Slap}}ped the ''God of all Overlords''. And it ''worked''.]]

* GetAholdOfYourselfMan: Adell does this to Rozalin after she totally wigs out in a battle against [[spoiler:Laharl]] and starts to attack her teammates. This becomes [[SugarWiki/CrowningMomentOfAwesome retroactively awesome]] when you realize that [[spoiler:she reverted back to [[SuperpoweredEvilSide Overlord Zenon]]]], meaning that [[spoiler:Adell just {{Bright Slap}}ped the ''{{DidYouJustPunchOutCthulhu God of all Overlords}}''. And it ''worked''.]]

* PromotedToUnlockable

** Also, [[spoiler: your crimes and penalties actually ties into the ending you get into the game.]] [[spoiler: It makes sense, given that the worse ending implies that the player played Adell as a CompleteMonster who kept committing crimes and killing allies left and right. Whereas the Good End actually reflects on how the player cared about your allies.]]

* ACupAngst: Hanako wants to try hard to ''undo'' her [[BuffySpeak un-bustiness]]. Yukimaru also qualifies.

The game stars Adell, the only person unaffected by a devious curse that has transformed all of the human inhabitants of his home village into heartless demons. The source of the curse is Overlord Zenon, a enigmatic figure who became known as the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast God of All Overlords]] after he [[OneManArmy slew one thousand Overlords in a single battle]]. Adell's solution to the problem is simple: get his mother to [[DungeonBypass magically summon Overlord Zenon to the village]] and then [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer pound him into submission]].

* GoodBadBugs: A possible Overlook bug, You can make the White Dragon party like you by going into a bill as Senator Adell where you're supposed to disapprove by spamming an item at them. They won't take the item, but their Likeness towards you goes up, which will carry on other bills.

** Huh. I never knew that [[{{Digimon}} DemiDevimon]] was [[HoYay into that.]] (Or at least implied.)

* TheImmune: Adell is the only human in the world who isn't affected by Zenon's curse [[spoiler:because his parents are demons, and so is he]]

* InterspeciesAdoption: Adell is a demon raised by humans.

* {{Expy}}: Adell's dad looks disturbingly like [[AzumangaDaioh Kimura-sensei]]. ScaryShinyGlasses included.

''Disgaea 2: Cursed Memories'' is the second game in the TurnBasedStrategy series ''{{Disgaea}}'', and was released in 2006 for the PlayStation2. It was later ported to the PlayStationPortable as ''[[UpdatedRerelease Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days.]]''

Unfortunately the summoning ritual ends up conjuring Rozalin, Zenon's SpoiledSweet daughter. Having accidentally kidnapped the only daughter of the most powerful Overlord in existance, it's a race for Adell to return Rozalin to Zenon before he tears the world apart looking for her. It's a shame that Rozalin is so sheltered that [[UpperClassTwit she has no idea where her father actually lives]]. Meanwhile, [[DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Etna]] has decided to strike out on her own and is gunning for the title of God of All Overlords that Zenon possesses.

* AnotherSideAnotherStory: Much like Etna Mode in the handheld ports of the first ''Disgaea'' and the downloadable Raspberyl chapters in ''{{Disgaea 3}}'', Axel gets his own story.

* BalefulPolymorph: An area-wide version of this forms the premise for the story. In the game, the Dark Sun in the Dark World sometimes has the ability to turn a character into a monster.

* BigDamnHeroes: Spoofed; Etna shows up just in time to save your ass, which pisses her off because [[GenreSavvy she hates this trope so much]].

* BloodKnight: Adell is the more chipper, fight-happy type.

* BonusBoss: Laharl, Etna, Flonne, and a bunch of other NipponIchi characters.
** The PSP remake adds more, for a total of ''twenty-six.''

* ButtMonkey: Tink, the lecherous frog. He even gets a subpoena from the Dark Court just for ''existing''.
** Also note his ultimate attack- "Goodbye Tink: Tink sacrifices himself, but nobody cares."

* CatchPhrase: Adell does things, or refuses to do things, based on whether they are or aren't "his style". Also, [[SarcasmMode in case you didn't know yet]], Rozalin is "Overlord Zenon's one and only daughter".

* TheChewToy: Axel. The universe does eventually decide to [[ThrowTheDogABone throw him a bone]] for all the crap it's put him through ([[EarnYourHappyEnding though he had to work for it. Hard.]])

* ContinuityNod: When the Prism Rangers appear in the 2nd game, they note that they can't let their guard down because of what happened last time (Etna shot 2/3 of them during their transformation sequence).

* {{Crossdresser}}: "Main Hero B", The Angel that joins Axel is a guy. Proof? Any Dark Sun (or Rozalin) effect that affects males affects him. They do NOT affect [[{{PlayerMooks}} Player Mook]] angels with the same sprite.

** [[SoulNomadAndTheWorldEaters Gig]] ([[NoExportForYou Japan only]])

* AdorablyPrecociousChild: Taro. The Skulls have elements of this, but lack a clear-cut personality.

* CuteShotaroBoy: Taro and the Skulls.

The game stars Adell, the only person unaffected by a devious curse that has [[CursedWithAwesome transformed all of the human inhabitants of his home village into heartless demons]]. The source of the curse is Overlord Zenon, a enigmatic figure who became known as the [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast God of All Overlords]] after he [[BeyondTheImpossible slew one thousand Overlords in a single battle]]. Adell's solution to the problem is simple: get his mother to [[DungeonBypass magically summon Overlord Zenon to the village]] and then [[WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer pound him into submission]].

* BeyondTheImpossible: The original Disgaea 2 has a way of constantly making each challenge worse than the last. Starting from the first fight with Axel culminating in the BonusBoss Baal, but every time each battle not only gets consistently harder, geo effects are played with, enemy equipment is pushed to its limits, and eventually stats are just ridiculously allocated on the enemies. It finally gets UpToEleven when Pringer X is introduced on the port "Disgaea 2 Dark Hero Days" as a boss who is just overall ridiculously difficult, but even after winning the player is forced to refight 8 of him with maxed out stats in every category or the battle doesn't count in the dark record.

** Rozalin and Adell start out hating each other, and this is reflected by the fact that as the game begins they only have a 1% chance of engaging in a Team Attack together. As the story progresses and they grow closer, this slowly climbs to 99%. If you get DLC Almaz and Sapphire for ''Dark Hero Days'', they too have a 99% chance of team attacking, reflecting the fact that [[spoiler:they get married by the end of Disgaea 3]].
