History YMMV / Disgaea

*** [[spoiler: Is Artina secretely a masochist? She always seems really chipper whenever Valvatorez talks about sucking her blood or bringing her to the dephts of fear and despair, almost as if she's ''really'' looking forward to it. Not to mention that she almost always seems to take any pain and suffering she experiences in stride. And then, there's the end of Chapter 6, where she seems pretty eager to bleed herself dry to cure the A-virus victims. Sure, those could just be the result of her being a {{Determinator}} and being an [[AllLovingHero all-loving heroine]], but it still makes you wonder]].

** The actual villains in the games mostly avert this, either by being impossible to root for due to being ''actually evil'' unlike most demons (namely [[spoiler: Vulcanus, the fake Overlord Zenon, Super Hero Aurum, Void Dark]]), by [[AntiVillain not being evil at all]] (namely [[spoiler: Seraph Lamington and Xenolith]]). Only a couple villains ([[spoiler: Judge Nemo and Majorita]]) have it both ways, with *very* depressing backstories that in no way excuse their actions.

* SeinfeldIsUnfunny: The incredibly high damage numbers achievable with enough grinding and preparation. Yes, being able to deal millions (and bigger numbers) of damage when the max was usually 9999, rarely 99999 was really impressive back in the sixth and seventh generation of gaming. However, the surge of the IdleGame genre in the 2010s, with damage and numbers overall in those games becoming way higher than that, requiring e notation and often capping at 1.8e308 (the floating point integer limit) and even more later on makes those damage numbers feel more quaint in comparison.

* EvilIsSexy: Several classes, primarily the succubus.
* FanNickname: Raspberyl is commonly referred to as "Paddlebutt-tan" in fandom, due to the shape of her tail.

** The Developers seem to have acknowledge this trope as well; every sequel in the series have featured the iconic trio in [[PlayerParty one way]] [[BonusBoss or another.]]
