Yeah I'm still not really convinced then. See I think the main reason Laharl didn't go overboard with things like the Prism rangers, etc, is because he sorta just was like "hahaha I'm going to kill you for that" and then he did as he effortlessly took them out.
As it has been for me this match is Laharl's patience vs the other guy's reluctance to use Demon's Bane. Given the archetypes I think Laharl "loses" that unless he squashes the other guy fairly quickly, or the other guy doesn't have traits that annoy him (and Laharl has the edge, because Laharl doesn't like losing either). Even if I did misremember the circumstances of the Disgaea 2 scene, the guy's tendency to act "goodie goodie" is still going to grate on Laharl and if it takes longer to kill the guy he's just going to pop. No evidence of him doing this directly, but given the other things he's done I don't think it's a stretch to assume it'd happen.
I dunno I just can't see Laharl losing a battle where it's his brattiness vs a hero's reluctance unless he totally outmatches him. Just seems wrong.
