NIS America began streaming an English trailer for its upcoming release of Disgaea 5: Alliance of Vengeance on Thursday. The video reveals that the PlayStation 4 game will ship October 6 in the west.
The trailer also profiles the game's main characters and previews the story and gameplay.
The strongest and most evil Overlord, Void Dark. Under his control, many Netherworlds have been overrun by his underlings and kept under his power. Void Dark controls a large army of Lost, beings that have strayed from the path of any morality. It is rumored that the number of soldiers in his army is ten billion.
It appeared that no one in the Netherworld had the power to stand up against Void Dark and his army... However, the Netherworld is vast. In order to take their revenge on Void Dark due to their personal grudges, multiple Overlords quietly take a stand.
Killia (voiced by Mamoru Miyano), a young demon man who swears revenge on the “Demon Emperor Voiddark” for some reason. A lone, muscular demon who hides power of Overlord levels. His quote on his profile reads, “...As if I could forget. Only revenge is supporting me.”
Seraphina (Sarah Emi Bridcutt), an Overlord girl who rules the “Gorgeous Netherworld,” a place that prides in its wealth over the two other Netherworlds. Even though she's an Overlord, she ran away from home and her Netherworld because she didn't like the idea of being forced into a strategical arranged marriage by her parents. The quote on her profile reads, “It is the fate of all men to dance in the palm of Seraphina, the Overlord of this Gorgeous Netherworld!”
Usaria (Satomi Akesaka), the heiress to the throne of the Bunny Bunny Netherworld where de,pms tjat don't like to fight gather. Her home country was destroyed by Voiddark's henchmen. She has a curse cast on her that makes her go berserk if she does not eat curry. Her character profile's quote reads, “I am one who is being chased by the Lost. If I am here, you all will be put in danger as well.”
Red Magnus (Takehito Koyasu), the overlord of the Burning Netherworld, a place where crazy demons gather. He believes everything primal and powerful is everything, and is trying to defeat Voiddark to become the strongest overlord.
Christo (Junji Majima, who also voices the Prinnys), the overlord of the "Giant Netherworld." He is extremely skilled as a war strategist, and will do anything to win a battle.
Zeroken (voiced by Tetsuya Kakihara), a small overlord who fights against the Lost. He has a smug personality, but can also change his attitude depending on the opponent.
It’s the really fun dynamic between the central trio that keeps the show bounding along so entertainingly.― I know, I know, it's yet another “reincarnated as an otome game villainess” anime.
