■ The Setting is a Japanese-esque Netherworld! Slash Through the Corrupt Shogunate with Your Bushido!
The Disgaea series is a simulation RPG set in an over-the-top Netherworld, where demons, angels, heroes, and evil lords run amok.
In Disgaea 7, the story is set in a world called “Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster,” which is inspired by Japanese culture. The protagonists, wandering samurai Fuji and otaku girl Piririka, will fight through the world in order to regain the impoverished Hinomoto from invaders and overthrow the Ooedo Shogunate.
On the game systems front, the series’ signature replayability features return, alongside even more over-the-top new systems. Please look forward to a completely new Disgaea experience!
—Characters can turn into giants in Disgaea 7!?
—The overwhelming exhilaration of mowing down enemies with insane damage!
“Hinomoto Netherworld Cluster”
The “Onsen Netherworld,” where hot springs spit out evil spirits instead of water; the “Sardine Netherworld,” which exists in a super-sized space sardine; the “Shikoku Netherworld,” which has a gigantic whirlpool that destroyed countless demon ships; and so on…
In a world made up of multiple unique Netherworlds, the inhabitants followed a code unlike other demons called “Bushido.”
Although that is a thing of the past. Hinomoto has changed since the arrival of the demon admiral Opener and his navy.
The demons of Hinomoto abide the laws Opener has laid down called “Hinomoto Destroy Hatto.”
“Hinomoto Destroy Hatto”
- One: Destroy Bushido.
- Two: Anyone who complains about their salary or taxes will be killed.
- Three: Say “no thanks” to friendship or love.
- Four: Please help the strong and defeat the weak.
- Five: Fights are what make the Netherworld, so feel free to inflict violence.
…all who do not abide by these laws will be punished by the Harakiri.
Eventually, the once honored samurais disappeared from Hinomoto…
This is a story about a girl who admires Bushido, and a young man who hates Bushido, as they fight for what they believe in, in a world that forgot honor.

Fuji (voiced by Kaito Ishikawa)

The super-naive Hinomoto otaku.
A young CEO of a company who comes from another Netherworld, brought up in a sheltered upbringing. She is a Hinomoto otaku, although most of her knowledge is gathered from different films and manga so it often differs from the reality of Hinomoto.
