Makai Kingdom/Characters

Several Overlords flock to one who has...*snort* tragedy befall him. Whether to help, take advantage, or just laugh, they are the most powerful beings in The Multiverse; and should one gain advantage over the others, they will rule all.

These are the principal players in the struggle for control of the Netherworld in Makai Kingdom: Chronicles of the Sacred Tome.

Zetta (The Most Badass Frickin Overlord in All The Cosmos)

Voiced by: Takehito Koyasu (JP), Crispin Freeman (EN)

File:Zetta little 3646.png

Zetta was once the most powerful overlord in the Netherworld. Due to a prophecy from the Sacred Tome that foretold of its destruction by his hands (which he accelerates by burning the book), Zetta loses his body and binds his soul to the Sacred Tome in order to save himself. Since he can no longer conquer the Netherworld by himself, he has to wish into existence a horde of Player Mooks to do his work for him.

• Animate Inanimate Object: He is a now a Book. The Book, but still a book.
• A Taste of Power: At the start of the game, he's level 2000 and has a small collection of sword and dagger techs. After that, though....
• Badass Boast: "I'M ONE BADASS FREAKIN' OVERLORD!!!!"
• Badass Cape: So badass it seems to contain a piece of space!
• Badass Long Hair
• Boisterous Bruiser: In Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, he comes around looking for a someone that can give him a good fight, and is quite a bit more friendly than in his own game.
• Buffy-Speak: "'Sacred Tome'? HA! More like... Sucky... Dumb... Thing."
• Character Exaggeration: The Zetta Beam only appeared in a few cutscenes in Makai Kingdom - it was never usable for the player, even with his original body. It has since become his signature move in all of his cameo appearances in other Nippon Ichi titles. Additionally, the Zetta Beam also becomes more destructive - originally it was just a blast from the eyes, but when it next appears in Disgaea 2 Cursed Memories it becomes a full blown Wave Motion Gun, and recently in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten it became a planet buster Kamehame Hadoken.
• Cosmic Keystone: Becomes one to avoid destruction after destroying the previous one. Oops.
• Demoted to Extra: Although Zetta appears Nippon Ichi titles as a Bonus Boss and Optional Party Member, he always appears in his book form and not in his original body. This is finally averted in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten
• Evil Laugh: Is really fond of these.
• Eye Beam: ZETTA BEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!
• Fake Ultimate Overlord: The only reason he's so powerful is because Salome has been secretly feeding him her mana power without his knowledge. He's not happy when he learns the truth.
• Flaming Hair
• Graceful Loser: He takes his defeat at the hands of Valvatorez rather well, mostly because he now has a rival that can keep up with him.
• Hot Dad: Papa is the Strongest Overlord Chapter confirms, Petta is Zetta's daughter and Salome is the mother.
• Large Ham
• Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds: Well, his own world, and unintentionally, but it's all played for laughs.
• Milky White Eyes
• Red Baron: The Most Badass Frickin Overlord in All The Cosmos!
• Spell My Name with an "S": Zetta or Zeta.
• Throw the Book At Them: He's...not really a good weapon, actually.
• Tsundere: Fuka declares him the universe's biggest Tsundere after seeing his interaction with Petta, his Kid From the Future.
• We Cannot Go on Without You: If he dies, the Dimension goes kablooie.
• Worthy Opponent: Thinks of Valvatorez as such after their battle in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten.

Pram

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi (JP), Amanda Winn-Lee (EN)

File:Pram little 9070.png

Pram is the snarky Oracle who predicted the death of the Netherworld. She spends most of her time alternating between trying to help Zetta get his body back and mocking him for his stupidity (sometimes these two overlap).

• Black Eyes of Crazy: Subverted in that she's quite sane, but the sclera of her eyes is black.
• Chained by Fashion
• The Chessmaster
  • Smug Snake: The only reason why she can predict the future is that she read ahead in the Sacred Tome. Without it, she's just a regular Overlord.
• Evil Albino
• An Ice Person: Mostly in her later cameos, though she can learn Ice Magic in this game.
• Kill It with Fire: When she appears in the game, it's by an explosion that spawns smaller explosions.
• My God, What Have I Done?: During the good ending, after realizing that Zetta still harbors feelings for Salome, she blames herself for starting the whole mess through rewriting the Sacred Tome.
• One-Winged Angel
• Oracular Urchin
• Prescience Is Predictable
• Rapunzel Hair
• Self-Made Orphan: She took the position of Overlord from her father at age 2. Zetta himself states that she only recently acquired her own Netherworld. Later on, you learn that she ended up taking King Drake's Netherworld, and he ain't happy about it.
• Token Mini-Moe: Among the Overlords. As a result of this, she also gets quite a lot of face time in the official art books.
• White-Haired Pretty Girl

Salome

Voiced by: Ai Orisaka (JP), Mary Elizabeth McGlynn (EN)

File:Salome little 4158.png

Salome was once a pupil of Zetta's. However, she doesn't have as much power as most typical Overlords, because she's been intentionally feeding her own mana to Zetta to make him stronger.

• Absolute Cleavage
• Anti-Gravity Clothing
• Back From the Dead: Thanks to Zetta.
• Blood From the Mouth: Right before she dies.
• Detached Sleeves
• Feather Motif: When she first appears she does so in a soft explosion of white feathers.
• Guest Star Party Member: She's briefly controllable in the story mode when fighting Alexander, since the player isn't likely to be able to beat him on their own at that point.
• The High Queen: Before her love for Zetta pushes her to the edge.
• Hot Consort: Zetta admits he loves her in the end and in the credits she is seen wearing what looks like a wedding dress, strongly suggesting they did finally get married. Salome at (long) last became Zetta's ridiculously hot wife.
• Hot Mom: She is Petta's mother, basically confirming that Zetta and Salome did hook up.
• Informed Flaw: Is said to be getting weaker by the time she's appeared due to giving her mana to Zetta, but when fought as a Bonus Boss she's the same as when she's a Guest Star Party Member
• Incurable Cough of Death
• Lady of War
• Love Makes You Crazy
• Love Martyr
• Magic Knight: She has the stats for it if you want to do this.
• Short Hair with Tail: When she was human.
• They Do: She and Zetta in the end it seems, see Hot Consort above.
• Worf Had the Flu: Her illness and giving Zetta her mana power makes her much weaker when she's fought at the end of the game, though she's hardly a pushover.

Babylon

Voiced by: Takeshi Aono (JP)

File:Babaylon little 9012.png

The Dragon God Babylon is the largest and oldest of all of the Overlords in the Netherworld. His old age has made him senile, and he has a tendency to fall asleep in the middle of a conversation.

• Badass Beard: In his human form, it also looks like he has a beard as a dragon
• Black Eyes of Crazy / Red Eyes, Take Warning: In both of his forms, but especially noticeable in his human form.
• Dimension Lord: In his prime Babylon ruled the entire universe. Too bad The One put an end to his reign.
• Hades Shaded: In his human form his skin color is gray.
• Large and In Charge: He's an Overlord, and he's so big that all we usually see of him is his head.
• Lethal Klutz: Due to his poor eyesight Babylon has the unfortunate habit of destroying planets by bumping into them.
• Mike Nelson, Destroyer of Worlds
• Nerf: The One's curse has caused Babylon to lose his infinite Mana power and to grow senile...
  • Brought Down to Badass: ...but this doesn't stop Babylon at all from destroying planets. By accident.
• One-Winged Angel
• Our Dragons Are Different
• Retired Badass: Is the oldest of all Overlords, but has grown quite senile.
• Snot Bubble: When he falls asleep, which occurs quite often.
• Time Abyss: Babylon is the oldest Overlord, and considering Zetta and King Drake are tens of thousands of years old that's saying something.

Alexander (God of Destruction, Alejandro, Asshat)

Voiced by: Kenji Nojima (JP), Grant George (EN)

File:Alex little 7729.png

Alex is the God of Destruction, and has developed a fierce ongoing rivalry with Zetta. Most of the time, he's directly tried to kill Zetta himself, but other times, he's employed the help of the Thunder God Raiden to do his work for him.

• All There in the Manual: See the little child next to Alex in the game's credits? That's his little sister, who has no passing or mention in the actual game.
• And Then What?: In one of the bad endings, Alex actually winds up destroying everything.
• Big Ol' Eyebrows
• Blank White Eyes: When shocked.
• Fate Worse Than Death: See above.
• Psycho Electro: His motif when he appears, which extends to his servant Raiden.
• Suicidal Cosmic Temper Tantrum
• This Is for Emphasis, Bitch: "Who's the Overlord now, bitch!?"
• This Is Unforgivable!: Once Seedle reveals his true colors, Alex abandons his rivalry with Zetta to knock Seedle off his throne.
• Unknown Rival: Semi-subversion, since Zetta does acknowledge the fact that the two have battled time and time again. He just doesn't care about their rivalry as much as Alex does.
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair
• Walking Shirtless Scene

Seedle

Voiced by: Shuichi Ikeda (JP), Bob Papenbrook (EN)

File:Seedle little 5203.png

Seedle is the God of the Underworld. As Zetta himself puts it, "He was a kind, brave Samurai until he got lost in the Underworld, where he kicked enough ass to become head honcho."

• Dual-Wielding: When one sword just just not enough.
• Evil Laugh
• Evil Sounds Deep
• Eyepatch of Power
• I Was Beaten by a Girl: "Can you imagine the shame of a samurai killed by a pathetic woman(Salome)!?"
• Like a Badass Out of Hell
• Obviously Evil: While all the Overlords will talk about being evil, Seedle is the only one that actually looks the part. Not surprisingly, he's the only truly evil character in the game.
• Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil: Tried to rape Salome back in their human days. She killed him and got burned at the stake for slaying a hero.
• Rapunzel Hair
• Red Eyes, Take Warning: Lots of demons have red eyes, but with Seedle they can be taken as an actual warning.
• Samurai
• Scars Are Forever: Seedle appears to have a scar across his chest, he may have had it since his death because he was stabbed by Salome.
• The Underworld: He is the realm's overlord.
• Walking Shirtless Scene

Valvoga (Mickey, Ophelia, and Dryzen)

Voiced by: Tessho Genda (JP - Micky), Miki Narahashi (JP - Ophelia), Takashi Nagasako (JP - Dryzen)

File:Valvolga little 3769.png

The Star Overlord Valvoga is often summoned into Netherworlds to fight would-be heroes as a "final boss". Valvolga consists of three independently-speaking parts: Micky, the head and torso; Ophelia, the upper body; and Dryzen, the lower body. Micky is supposed to be the brains of the group, but is often bullied into doing what Ophelia and Dryzen want because he's too timid.

• Ambiguously Gay: Micky. So very much.
• Ax Crazy: Dryzen.
• Bishonen Line: After his post game battle, Micky takes over as the one being Valvoga and becomes a smaller and more defined version of himself, although Ophelia and Dryzen still exists in his mind.
• Boisterous Bruiser: Dryzen.

BABES! MONEY! ALCOHOL! GWAHAHAHAHAHA!

• Bonus Boss: If Zetta musters up the Mana, he can wish to fight Valvoga. Valvoga is also the Bonus Boss for Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku.
  • And in the above game, his profile states that he took down the ultimate Bonus Boss, Tyrant Baal, for good.
• The Chessmaster: Supposedly, Ophelia is The One; a True Neutral being who makes sure the Balance Between Good and Evil is maintained. The whole reveal is treated like a joke, however.
• Hero-Killer: Despite being one of the nicest characters in Makai Kingdom and probably the nicest Overlord of The Multiverse, in Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku Valvoga is doted as such, the entire hero corporation was created to defeat him in the first place.
• Magic Knight: One Overlord with the stats for it.
• Minion with an F In Evil: Micky is possibly the nicest Overlord around. Pity his other halves bully him around...
• Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Micky has four muscular arms, which makes it all the funnier when he makes a cringing gesture with them.
• No Indoor Voice: Dryzen.
• Offscreen Moment of Awesome: Later games of the NIS multiverse states that Valvoga was the one who killed Overlord Baal for good, the supposedly unkillable overlord. How did the impossible happened however, it's up to our imagination.
• One-Winged Angel: Valvolga is intended to be evocative of such (which is why he's called "The Last Boss").
• Physical God: It seems he got promoted after Baal's defeat, Valvoga dropped the Dark Lord rank from Makai Kingdom and became Demon God in Zettai Hero Kaizou Keikaku.
• Split Personality: Although all three halves are presented as independant beings, and Ophelia supposedly being the one might avert this; Micky finally voicing his opinion in his Bonus Boss fight implies this trope, stating the he is Valvoga and the other two should do as he say; also Valvoga's true form only resembles Micky, no traits from Ophelia and Dryzen are seen.
• Third Person Person: Dryzen.

DRYZEN PICKS ON MICKEY! GWAHAHAHAHAHA!

King Drake III

Voiced by: Norio Wakamoto (JP), Jamieson Price (EN)

File:Drake little 2783.png

King Drake III is, uh...a "special" kind of Overlord. Most of the other Overlords don't think too highly of him because he does a lot more talking and scheming than he's actually capable of.

• Dirty Coward
• Harmless Villain
• Incoming Ham: His entrance.

"You have all waited so patiently, and now I have finally arrived! I'm the king of the universe, the galactic hero, the creator of all things decently sized. Say my name if you know it! I am... **Stuff Blowing Up in the background** KING DRAKE THE THIRD!"

• Joke Character: Two of his proficient weapons are pies (which deal no damage, and heal the target) and balloons (which send the user out of bounds after use of a skill).
  • He also has a 10% intelligence affinity. 10%. Most first-tier fighter characters have at least 70%. He is possibly the dumbest character in the Nippon Ichi-verse.
• Large Ham
• Mistaken for Gay
• Petting Zoo Person
• Requisite Royal Regalia: Both crown and ermine cape.
  • Nice crown
  • Pimped-Out Cape
• Smug Snake

Trenia

Voiced by: Brianne Siddall (EN)

File:Trenia little 7411.png

Trenia is a mysterious girl who appeared when Zetta's soul was bound to the Sacred Tome. She appears to be goofy and aloof most of the time, giving cryptic warnings to the other Overlords one minute, and casually strolling along and chasing after butterflies the next. The reason she is able to walk out and about among the Overlords even though no one has ever seen her before is because she is actually the spirit of the Sacred Tome, who was pushed out the instant Zetta confined himself to it.

• Curtains Match the Window
• Detached Sleeves
• The Ditz: subverted, she's know exactly what's going on, she just acts clueless.
• Moe Stare: Default facial expression.
• Mysterious Waif
• Mythology Gag: Her bright costume colors reference Phantom Brave. Also, her calling out "Confine" when she returns to The Sacred Tome.
• Obfuscating Stupidity
• The Omniscient
• Rapunzel Hair
• You Gotta Have Blue Hair
• Winged Humanoid
• Zettai Ryouiki: Comes in with white thigh highs.

Petta (The Most Badass Frickin Overlord in All The Cosmos' Daughter)

Voiced by: Kaori Mizuhashi

File:Alpha little 1859.png

A new character staring in the extra scenario called “Papa is the Strongest Overlord” in the port of Makai Kingdom for the PSP. She claims to be Zetta's daughter confirmed in her mode, she has been sent back to fix a time slip as the prophecy about Zetta destroying his own Netherworld seems to persist in her time, Petta wants to erase this before it truly happens. Petta also went HD in the 6th DLC pack for Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten in Japan.

• Authority Equals Asskicking: It's on her rank, it reads as Uchu Saikyo no Mao no Musume, which can adapted in english as The Most Badass Frickin Overlord in All The Cosmos' Daughter.
• Blush Sticker: On her second piece of artwork.
• Cute Little Fangs
• Detached Sleeves
• Eye Beams: PETTA BEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAM!!!!!!!
• Flaming Hair
• Girlish Pigtails
  • Mega Twintails
• Kid From the Future: Claims this, which was proven true.
• Milky White Eyes
• Mini-Dress of Power
• Moe Stare
• Nice Crown
• Spell My Name with an "S": Much like Zetta, there are Peta and Petta to be found around.
• Skirt Over Slacks
• Superpowerful Genetics: Assuming she's Zetta's daughter (which she is), she's inherited her father's Eye Beams and her mother's Black Prison in Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten.
• Time Travel: See Kid From the Future. In Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten, one of her her skills actually has her hit the enemy, then travel back in time one second and hit the enemy again.
  • Time Paradox: Then she travels back in time another second and hits the enemy again, and then all three Pettas blast the enemy with their Eye Beams before merging together.
• Tiny Cape
