Disgaea- Kurtis' Theme Song (tomo yo)

[@GamblerJustice]

I really loved the phone conversations with this guy. "Hello, this is Kurtis, the 38th Defender of Earth. What!? You need my help!?" "Sorry, but you have to learn how to rely on yourself." "...Then again, as Defender of Earth, I must make sure you live long enough to learn that lesson." "I'm on my way!"

@Bayonetta he sucks

[@blakexrosheart69]

The coolest prinny

[@lordjavathe3rd]

That's what I was thinking! That guy is a hero!

[@Socran]

I love how this song doesn't even bother parodying. The game just takes a break from the silliness to deliver a downright awesome song (albeit usually in situations with some silly twist, like Mid-Boss teaching Laharl how to close his eyes, or Kurtis showing up as a Prinny). I also love how Prinny Kurtis is just the regular Prinny sprite colored green and given angry eyes. And yet we instantly recognize him as Cyborg 002-- Err, I mean, Pizza-- Err, I mean, Kurtis.

[@KnownAsKenji]

Those were always the best parts of Disgaea, when EDF was all 'rawr' and Laharl's all 'nuh-uh' and just spirals from there. The ending half of the game is reviewed by many as confusing but I felt it was on point.

[@ximipeepimix2890]

THE PERFECT PRINNY DOESN'T EXIS--

[@spindash64]

The best part is that apparently he’s basically considered Chuck Norris by other Prinnies

[@XkailiasX]

This reminds me of one of my favorite game quotes. Kurtis " What's so funny?" Gordon "you're just so darn cute!!"

[@TheTrueBro]

I replayed through Disgaea 1... omg. The "story" behind this song (the recogniton and then friendship from Gordon to Kurtis as a Defender or Earth) made me shed MANLY TEARS.

[@TheMochan555]

Sounds like you played Disgaea 1 for the first time.

[@Overlord_Henry]

​@@TheMochan555the comment is 13 years old dawg💔

[@Ausar0]

This right here is one of the reasons why Disgaea 1 is a fucking treasure. Later games might have better gameplay, but the characters and story of Disgaea 1 are top-tier.

[@KnownAsKenji]

Agreed. After many years I finally got Disgaea 3 and 4 at my door (i.e. on PC) . Do I wanna play 'em now? Nah. Not particularly. I feel like 'gameplay' was also superior in the past, it was never exactly simple but it was digestible, I have no clue what or why they do these days.

[@alvinvalentino5797]

​@@KnownAsKenjiI mean, I like some of the New Mechanics, like Magichange

[@Wannabe_Chemist]

​@@alvinvalentino5797i personally never use magichange :( but that's just me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@alvinvalentino5797]

@@Wannabe_Chemist Tbf it add flavours, more mechanic more flavours, old mechanic gets polished too If it were to always stay the same, it'll get boring quicker I mean I never played with the Innocence Mechanic either

[@P3RFCT1NSAN1TY]

This guy saved my ass when i fought against those higher demons, i promise he was the turning point of that fight.

[@omfg622]

I just finished Disgaea 2 on PC and it was only fitting that I called in Kurtis to help me fight the final boss BUT LOW AND BEHOLD THIS THEME CAME ON Needless to say the fight shifted from tense into M A X I M U M O V E R D R I V E

[@Alcremieknight]

Now go get 99 felonies/sins and 99 ally kills with adell one of those kill have to be rozalin and reach level 2000 plus and go beat the game again the final boss will become true overlord zenon. You will get the true ending 😈.

[@the-secret]

@@Alcremieknight that's not true ending! THAT'S THE WORST ENDING EVER

[@Overlord_Henry]

​@@Alcremieknightbro is devious

[@Jesthers]

Why does this sound more epic than the remastered version?

[@Jesthers]

Well, Disgaea 4 tried their best, but it wasn't good enough! I love this version :D

[@AlluMan96]

***** I don't think they did enough to the song in D4 to the point that it even matters which version of the song I'd rather listen to.

[@aprinnyonbreak1290]

The Disgaea 4 version is a bit more dramatic overall, but that's really not the theme of the song. The Disgaea 4 version, in theory, would play as an ally reveals themselves from the shadows at a pivotal moment, reminds everyone who they are, then gets stuck in. The original version has that same ally simply bursting onto the scene and saving the day then and there. It's a totally different flavor, but you should try to find the Heroic Saga arrangement of My Comerade. When I say different, I mean different, mind. They are very, very different in flow.

[@TheMochan555]

This is the original version. Of course it's the best.

[@MetalGearRaxis]

Kurtis still tries to look cool despite being a Prinny XD That's why he's the only one with glaring eyes.

[@Socran]

The official English name of the song, as credited in the game, is "My Comrade". "Battle Comrade" is a more literal (but redundant) translation, and is commonly used by fans on fanslated OSTs. It's really hard to translate the phrase correctly while maintaining proper linguistic flow, especially when used in a sentence, because it makes you sound Russian. It's usually changed to "my friend" in those situations. But I'm not even talking about the song any more, so yeah... Arigato, tomo yo.

[@TheMochan555]

Battle Comrade is not more literal. 友 "Tomo" simply means friend.

[@thetacopunch]

i loved kurtis so much i grinded him until he was level 1000, just so he could be the hero he always wanted to be

[@KnownAsKenji]

'If I'm reincarnated, I wanna be Kurtis again!'

[@Meraya1bd]

Most. Epic. Prinny. Enough said!

[@isaiahdaniels5643]

*Dood

[@WrathNebula321]

Kurtis is the most coolest character in Disgaea 2, even though he was reverted into a prinny after he gave up his life. Kurtis will always be remembered.

[@TheTrueBro]

Kurtis and Gordon = a proof of PURE MANLINESS, in a game filled with cute :o

[@RPGPrinny42]

never had a prinny been so badass

[@Kiwii156]

This song becomes even more epic when you see when it is played in the game.

[@MangekyoSasukeUchiha]

the only reason i use the cell phones in disgaea 2 is to call prinny kurtis and to hear this epic song x 3

[@KingLashiec]

Gordon, Jennifer, Thursday, and the Earth Defense Force - decades of American science fiction Curtis - Shotato Ishinomori's Cyborg 009 (the body of Jet, the flyer, but the abilities of a good chunk of the 9 cyborgs)

[@NeonPegasus1979]

When you hear this theme, you know you're either saved, or fucked xD

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

+Neon Pegasus Very true.

[@XDantevsVergilX]

Memories playing disgaea 2 trying to max my stats

[@KuroiGaruga]

I just summoned Kurtis in Disgaea 2 via cellphone and this song came along with him! Fuck Yeah Kurtis! 38th Defender of the Earth!

[@phionix1235]

This needs to be on my mind again those times! :D

[@robertlee9602]

Always.

[@FinalHype]

"You´re too slow!" *Everything dies* This... is the truth.

[@ironfistcookie2875]

Nice

[@hagehidoku]

I Remember I Would go scouring for the cell phones when ever I could. Especially when I knew a boss battle would take forever. :3 just to hear the music. " Aa~ kodoku da ookamiiiii~"

[@akritos546]

I almost find it funny I have this on my favorites list twice... this version, and the slightly remixed disgaea 4 one. This song is just that awesome.

[@bmanguru]

look at the determination in his eyes!

[@UK-tr1xi]

kurtis is such a badass

[@MegaBlasterFTW]

the way to tell if a character in disgaea is awesome, the color and shape of their prinny. Prinnies ftw!!!

[@MidianPOfficialytch]

We need Kurtist as a Playable Character in Prinny 3!

[@marcusdranz]

Throwing Kurtis has the same effect as a Falcon Punch launched from the Blue Falcon. Namely, EVERYTHING EXPLODES.

[@zabrizzL]

I'd like to thank my boyfriend for introducing me to Disgaea and spicy OSTs!!!

[@itemgod3730]

:-] so wonderful to hear this stuff again

greatest disgaea theme ever best picture of kurtis ever

[@shironnch]

I used to sit and listen to this song whenvere defender of justice appear in thr item world especially when I'm low on HP, my gealer died and low on item and this guy appear. He really is my hero in the damn item world. Kurtis is the coolest prinny

[@basch07]

My comrade in arms. *Salutes*

[@LocalAnonOnTheInternet]

I'll be upset if he doesn't return in Disgaea 5. :c

[@DiceFTW273]

ElmntNinja It'd be real fucked up if he didn't, I mean correct me if I'm wrong but didn't he show up in every game?

[@LocalAnonOnTheInternet]

***** Except Disgaea D2 and it looks like he isn't returning in Disgaea 5 either. :c

[@DiceFTW273]

ElmntNinja Really? Not even in DLC?!

[@LocalAnonOnTheInternet]

***** So far, no. I don't know if they will make him DLC eventually however. They better!

[@DiceFTW273]

ElmntNinja I hope so too. :(

[@youkh2]

If you ask me, i totaly think Kurtis is the most memorable Disgaea Character (Asides Axel and maybe Flonne). Kurtis-Copy (D3): "My body seems to be in perfect condition, only this pointy nose..." XD

[@MetalGearRaxis]

The afterlife authorities were generous with him when they made his Prinny body, he retains most of his Cybernetic upgrades.

[@grassfish01]

It’s more probable that Kurtis became a Prinny since he technically died by suicide, and judging from what happened with the 2 other people in the series who have also died by suicide, Death probably just gave them most of their defining features when Prinnifying them

[@rainbowprism6242]

Actually, he retains 0 of his cybernetics. He just had access to his lab to get his stuff he used for his cybernetics and uses non-cybernetics versions of his weapons. He was big brain inventor before he turned into cyborg hero.

[@terryliliana]

before there was fuuka, there was an actually good character.

[@longlivethesecondplaceice2736]

What's the problem with fuka her attacks are amazing :D

[@shadyartist102]

I dont even call kurtis for help... I call him to hear his theme song..

[@dmld96]

1:21 is when shit gets strated. I always orchestrated beautiful combos with this song, always waiting for that song to play, mew.

[@kevinluna1713]

still my favorite my game

[@GenjuDW]

God Disgaea was so much fun.. logged around 300 hours into that game...

[@TheOathOfEnma]

Kurtis would fit well along with the crew of the BeBop. :P

[@Halkeriel]

I like this song man

[@NackWeasel]

Yep. Kurtis IS the best prinny ever. The part when he joins in Celestia in the last chapter of Disgaea is friggin' epic.

[@Wazi6]

I didn't play the first game, but in the anime they said prinnys have human souls who have sinned in them. Kurtis was one of the defenders of earth were a group of humans that tried to conquer the netherworld with space ships and died which I guess is why he came back as a prinny.

[@andreseduardo600]

I need a 1 hour version now :'

[@koushiro27]

You could easily mix this with Akurate's White tiger theme, but i'd probably explode from the awesomeness.

[@TheTrueBro]

I imagine "Tomo" is a short form of "Tomodachi" (friend). "Yo" is just a particle used in japanese to put emphasis in a sentence :)

[@dmld96]

@Piokruts "Tomo Yo" means "My Friend", but the way it's use is kinda like "My Comrade" or "(My) Battle/War Comrade", but the literal and actual translation is "My Friend", nya.

[@Metalman200xdamnit]

Thing song is awesome and like most players of the game,I just let the song play,i dont need help

[@pelletier1986]

can't stop listening to this awesome song recently. So (damn i hate to say this) EPIC!

[@AxelDarkHero2]

in disgaea hour of darkness 2th fight by kurtis was hard

[@Augestein]

It's tradition I phone in for this on the final boss.

[@AndreEguchi]

You have the soul of the DEFENDER OF EARTH !!! Go Kurtis go !!! The 38th defender of earth will never give up !!!

[@PaperSlate]

KURTIS RULES,,,, and i love his theme song

[@LaharlD2]

I like this theme plus Hades Corridor theme, which is also the item boss theme.

[@hitmanreborn31]

event this is my 50th time listen it's still awesome~^^

[@ArkRiley]

I would have rather have had human (cyborg) Kurtis, but a prinny is fine, too. He's still the coolest character in the game.

[@SgtChilly]

I love this song.

[@RocMegamanX]

To Don Joaquin, the ORIGINAL Defender of Earth.

[@JanChiong]

Heh. Y: I'm a new char in this game/anime. Beware, I'm further powerful that YOU! Laharl: Shhhh!!!! Be quiet while a person's soul is being sent! Y: Ok, can I now fight you? Laharl: No. Y: How about now? Laharl: No. Y: Ok, I'm just going to wait until the final boss is defeated, at least his soul is sent already. Laharl: Better.

[@zen361]

Thats why i collect cellphones

[@0nlytimeevrc0menting]

This song is the very reason why I summon Kurtis with my cell phones

[@ednilsonjunio5036]

musica muita nostalgica,primeira vez que ouvi essa musica no jogo amei

[@AvatarOfGames]

Kurtis is the man, dood...

[@TheDiscoShrew]

@DaidairoGS Mid-Boss' theme is 'Beautiful Round Dance'. And his ending theme is 'Ah, My Magnificent Life'. So... not sure where you got that idea. This is, in fact, Kurtis' theme from the first two games. Though, starting with Disgaea 3, they started assigning pre-established themes to new characters.

[@LEKJJABLAH]

@akritos546 On a side note, I never played Makai Kingdom..but I wanted to. When it comes to NIS, I played all the Disgaeas, Phantom Brave, La Pucelle: Tactics (didn't beat), Prinny 1 (didn't get far at all) and Trinity Universe.. So I wouldn't know about Makai Kingdom. He (Zetta) sure does show up a lot though. : P

[@akritos546]

@LEKJJABLAH There are summoning phones, but they only call a random player's foreign defense minister to help you fight, so unless RNG loves you, you're more than likely gonna end up with low level assistance. As for the theme in 4, I believe it's one of the buyable songs, just recruited him last night, but haven't checked the music shop. Note: his theme has been slightly remixed in 4, the lyrics are the same, but the music itself is a bit different.

[@LezardMan002]

for some reasons, every time i see that prinny i always scream: WWWOOOOOOO KURTIS!!!!

[@RougeM1]

I wish I had this for my mp3 playlist

[@apolxcore]

Kurtis, the 38th Defender of the Earth!! :D

[@VillainousOperative]

An ordinary Prinny's satchel is filled with fish, knives and money. The only thing Kurtis carries in his is PURE MOLTEN COURAGE!

[@akritos546]

@LEKJJABLAH I'm not entirely sure either, I just know that it canonically takes place after makai kingdom (the first three don't) and changes have been made in some of the characters. It doesn't go into any great detail about the time span, so I'm not entirely sure either. The only hint I've gotten is a rumor about Zetta's daughter being a DLC character, but that's only a rumor. Now, we should quit spamming the comments with our conversation, taking up too much room :P

[@Nazuiko]

if you're referring to the LoC, no you cannot summon Kurtis there, since he is in your party. same goes for Axel

[@tricellcelulareseacessorio821]

O pronto mais poderoso de todos, música épica 😃🤩

[@toppadvei]

Kurtis is pure win

[@wolfman88x]

is there a 10 hour version of this?

[@RobloxMario]

Well,the title is Tomo Yo,so that can be translated to several different titles. My Comrade and Battle Comrade are the "official" english titles,I think.

[@Suika_Ibuki_The_Drunk_Oni]
