1* ActingForTwo: Usually, at least with the Japanese audio, whoever is doing the voice of Asagi is already providing the voice of another character in the game. This is what allows Asagi to get away with having a new voice actress with every appearance. Alternatively, her voice actress may be providing one of the game's vocal themes instead.
2* CrossDressingVoices: Barbara Goodson (Rita Repulsa from ''Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers'' and Alcyone from ''Manga/MagicKnightRayearth'') supplies the voice of Laharl in the video games. Rather refreshingly for a profession that has no problem with replacing previous actors with sound-alikes, she voices Laharl in ''every single instance'' (with the [[TheOtherDarrin slight glaring exception]] of ''Prinny 2''), even in other games where he's no more than a brief cameo.
3* MarthDebutedInSmashBros: Every game but 2 and 5 so far has had a run in with this trope. Let's see:
4** ''VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness'' had [[VideoGame/LaPucelle Overlord Prier(e)]]. Notably La Pucelle was the only game that consequently got a localization afterwards.
5** ''VideoGame/Disgaea3AbsenceOfJustice'' had Kogure, the protagonist of [[NoExportForYou Hayarigami]], as DownloadableContent.
6** ''VideoGame/Disgaea4APromiseUnforgotten'' has [[VideoGame/MakaiKingdom Petta]]. The original game was dubbed and brought overseas but the remake where she is introduced was not.
7** ''VideoGame/DisgaeaD2ABrighterDarkness'' gives us [[VideoGame/TheWitchAndTheHundredKnight Metallia]] and [[VideoGame/BattlePrincessOfArcadias Plume]] as DLC. Then again, Plume was an EarlyBirdCameo in Japan.
8* MilestoneCelebration: ''Disgaea D2'' is one of five games developed for Nippon Ichi's 20th Anniversary and, unlike the past three games, has [[VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness Laharl, Etna, and Flonne]] return as the main characters.
9* TheOtherDarrin: Creator/MichelleRuff took over for Amanda Winn-Lee as the voice of Etna in every game after the first. They even re-recorded Etna's dialogue for ''Afternoon Of Darkness''.
10** Creator/GrantGeorge did the voice for the Prinnies from VideoGame/DisgaeaHourOfDarkness to VideoGame/MakaiKingdom. Starting with VideoGame/Disgaea2CursedMemories, Creator/DaveWittenberg took over as the voice actor of the Prinnies until VideoGame/TrinityUniverse, where Creator/GrantGeorge becomes his voice actor once again.
11** It's gotten kind of confusing now. The side-stories in D3:[=AoD=] have Prinnies with a different VA (Sam Riegel) and Disgaea 4 has yet another different VA for them. Some fans may like this as it gives Prinnies different sounding voices across the games but some fans will still desire consistency.
12** Averted in Japanese, where their sole voice actor is Junji Majima, he of [[Literature/{{Toradora}} Ryuuji Takasu]] and [[VideoGame/InazumaEleven Teres Tolue]] fame.
