Axel: Yeah, start doubting continuity because he's not President Axel here but the Super Dark Hero who arrived fashionably late to the Super Idol audition. Because yeah, being a Super Dark Hero is not enough. The thing is that the audition is over (Which was done in the main game) but, of course, he believes that everyone's ignorance is some ploy to shake him up and in the end faces them. Eventually, he forces himself into the party and gets a little too close to the trio. And if Axel and Emizel didn't completely kill any chance of continuity...

Artina: Comes in destroys it completely. Apparently, she's holding Porkmeister hostage due to money Hoggmeiser owes. She wonders why Laharl would show up at the exchange instead of Hoggmeiser and Laharl is all "Cuz he's my vassal and I don't take kindly to those who kidnap my vassals! And I'm not saving you, Porkmeister! This is my duty as an Overlord!" Flonne and Sicily realize that Artina is an angel and are thus surprised that angel would resort to such underhanded tactics like holding demons ransom. But she wants them to realizes she's not as bad as she seems and wants to explain herself so she let's Porkmeister go. Too bad. Laharl says it's time to apprehend the kidnapper. I should note that everything plays out like a cop story from Flonne yelling over a megaphone to surrender Porkmeister to Laharl ordering everyone to apprehend the suspect.

Okay, there is something after the battle she says that might explain things. Apparently, the reason why she's here is that she's collecting the funds that Hoggmeiser owes...in the future! Apparently there's some sort of time paradox going on. So yes, this post game is pre-Disgaea 4 which would explain everything else. Doesn't explain why she doesn't recognize Flonne though. She also introduces herself as Artina. I kinda wish she called herself Vulcanus again just to see the reaction ("Former Archangel Vulcanus!? We knew you'd be up to no good, especially with that sexy body of yours!").

Valvatorez and Fenrich: Okay, part of the beginning is missing but it looks like Laharl has been searching to test his power against the famed Tyrant Valvatorez who has now become the King of Hades...or so he thought. However, despite the shock that he has "squandered his demon powers" by taking up a lowly job as Prinny Instructor Valvatorez (Fenrich: My lord, even if you are Prinny Instructor, please use a better title introduce yourself), Laharl wants to know if he is as powerful as the rumors say. Val says that if he really wants to know, he'd happily show him.

So of course, spirit and fortitude can only truly overcome everything if you're the main character. Laharl acknowledges Val's strength as the real deal but in the end, he's still the stronger demon. Now that the battle is done, it's time return to tending to the Prinnies, however, Laharl reminds him that this was a battle between demons and he should know better what happens next. Val says that while he wouldn't mind, he still has his job and Prinnies to take care of. So of course Laharl says his Netherworld is without a Prinny Caretaker and needs a strong demon like Val to take care of them. Val falls for it hook, line, and sinker and Fen sighs as he joins him.

Grosso, Rainier, and Garungun: Apparently, even though they acknowledge Laharl as the Overlord, they still refuse to be Laharl's vassals so Laharl has to beat them yet again to make them submit. Eventually, they bring out their secret weapon -- Darkdeath Evilman! They tell him that if he defeats Darkdeath Evilman, then they will submit themselves to Laharl once and for all. So eventually Laharl defeats Darkdeath Evilman and the Krichevskoy Faction leaders are happy to see that he is indeed a worthy successor to Krichevskoy and submit themselves to the Overlord. Laharl is glad to hear this because he's going to have them executed for treason. However, Grosso, Rainier, and Garungun convince Laharl that they truly were just testing if he was worthy. Eventually, Laharl concedes and makes them vassals...Etna's vassals. However, he makes it clear that Etna's vassals are still his vassals. Although Etna is shaking her head, she decides to take them as her vassals and thus they join the party.

And no, Darkdeath Evilman does not join...

Asagi: Has arrived to her big Super Idol debut...and no one is there. She's wondering what exactly might have happened when she spots Laharl and the rest and wonders what they're doing on her stage on the day of her big concert debut. Laharl has to remind her that there's no one here and thus fight. After the fight, Asagi finds out that Laharl is the Overlord and realizes she has the chance of a lifetime. With the Overlord at her side, she might get special benefits and if there's a chance of Laharl turning his back, she might be able to take the title of Overlord for herself. Of course, she monologues all this out loud. I guess when you're an idol in the Disgaea series, you're no longer allowed to keep your monologues to yourself. Surprisingly, Laharl is kinda okay with this and decides to let her do whatever she wants. She doesn't mention anything about becoming main character but she's still planning to off the main character for his spot so I guess old habits die hard.

I wonder though, is this Asagi directly after Prinny 2.

You known, to add dimensional paradoxes to your time paradoxes XD.

...Not too surprised Laharl is okay with this. This is HIS game; he's the main character. He's not about to get beaten by Asagi. ;)
