Spoilers up ahead. Do not read this post if you haven’t seen the ending of Makai Senki Disgaea yet! While not as good as the total awesomeness of the previous episode, this episode does managed to deliver an ending, worthy of being called enjoyable. It brings us the perfect bland of comedy and drama. Especially Vulcano was great.
The guy attempts to corner Laharl using brute force, but even then he doesn’t stand a chance at all. Seeing him and his minions flee was just hilarious. His beliefs were also very interesting to watch. He’s obviously an angel who’s gone corrupted because of his high status. He then tries to give Flonne all of the blame, though she comes back with some nice arguments that totally kick him into the ground. I know, it’s a simple concept, but it works.
Another thing I also loved was how different Lamington turned out to be from what I thought he would. He nicely broke the cliche of the hierarchy of an evil society. The conflict does not come at all because of the fact that he’s evil. It’s just that his beliefs and personality are totally Laharl’s opposite. Add that to the fact that he does believe in atoning for one’s sins, turning Flonne into the flower she loves most, and you’ve got yourself a very decent climax.
Though what was up with Mid-Boss? Was his only role to just be watching from the side-line and be astonished at Laharl’s decision? I have to admit, at that moment, it really contributed to the scene, though I was expecting some kind of bigger thing. Ah well, I guess we can blame that on the creators, not being able to fit his story in the twelve episodes. It’s the only rushed feeling that the series portrays.
I’ll say it again: SPOILER. Another fact which surprises me, when you consider that this is a childrens’ show, is the fact that Laharl actually gives up his life for Flonne, and he actually dies. Of course, he comes back as a Prinny. But remember the previous episode? At one time, he has to say goodbye to them, for a final time. That would’ve made for an awesome scene.
Overall, the ending was enjoyable, though it doesn’t fall in the category of awesome endings. Then again, there are only few anime who can manage to accomplish an awesome ending. This episode showed a good attempt, though!
…spoilers for the game XD

Lamington in the game was all along on Laharl’s side though you can’t really say which side is good and which is evil, because Laharl is actually the Overlord of the Netherworld and a Demon who are notoriously known for doing bad things, whereas Lamington is an Angel in Celestia.
What happened in the game was that the entire incident, from Flonne’s meeting to their eventual heading into Celestial was entirely planned by Lamington and Mid-Boss; they wanted to breach the space between Demon and Angels because they didn’t believe that the two separate races were entirely different. It’s also implied that Mid-Boss was Laharl’s father XD
What happened in the good ending of the game was that instead of Laharl giving his life up when he wanted to, Mid-Boss gave his away so Flonne could live again, and he told them to live happily.
like mother like son 😛 if his dad died would he turned into a prinny i mean… if an angel dies turns into a demon then a commited sin into a weired looking penguin and best part it wouldive been 😛 a family into priny’s but it ended in a weired way
