Ok, so everytime this topic has been brought, not much evidence was put on its case, so I figured having played most of the games in the series, I could make a case for this and see what others think.
So here's why I believe Nipponverse may be Low 2-C rather than 3-A:
First thing to know is that the games take place in a Multiverse. This is evident with the fact that Overlords and even lower characters from other games and netherworlds appear from one game to another.
Overlord Pram also states that there is more than one Universe, and then proceeds to claim that each of them are about as important as a speck of dust for the cosmos as a whole. She claims Netherworlds (basically Universes/Worlds turned into a Hell by their respective Overlords as explained in Disgaea 2) are more or less the same.
Ok. So why is this important?
Well, while this *should* be a point in favor of every meeting between the characters from different games being canon, I won't go that far.
I'll just say this is a point in favor of at least Laharl's battle against Overlord Baal being canon.
Baal appears in every single game of Nipponverse I'm aware of save for Soul Nomad, where we still get Laharl (and later Gig appearing in Disgaea games) to confirm that it's still the same Universe. Baal is also consistently portrayed as a Tyrant (one step above Overlord) throughout the series. And in every single game he appears in where Laharl is present as well, not only Laharl knows him but his defeat at his hands is also mentioned. It's a plot point in Disgaea 1 as well, since Laharl's father originally died trying to prevent Baal from annihilating his Netherwold.
But I'll get back to Baal later. Let's take a look back at some Overlord class being feats.
Making a wish in the sacred tome - basicallyTrenia, who is already rated as Low 2-C here - alters reality based on one's Mana Power (basically their reserves of energy). The higher the wish, the more costly. Any wish can be granted, as long as you have enough power to back it up. The aforementioned Pram outright says "No" to the cosmos saying "No" to her trying to wish another Overlord back to life by writting in the sacred tome. Via raw mana power.
Anyways. Same Pram (now in a Bad Ending) also proceeds to take over THE ENTIRETY of said Cosmos, and maintains her rule for Billions of Years and later for Eternity without anyone in the verse managing to take her out. Same goes for Hakaishin Alexander who in an alternate Ending destroys the whole Cosmos overtime.
Mao in Disgaea 3 also has one where he makes his Netherworld, all of the Human World and all of Celestia (heaven basically) disappear without a trace.
Now going back to Baal. The same Trenia who is rated Low 2-C and is Omniscient in Verse (since she is the Sacred Tome), knows everything... Except how to possibly get rid of Baal. Considering she suggested wishing through her reality warping to solve the most complicated scenarios, I feel like its safe to say here that simply wishing Baal away with her reality warping is out of the table.
Later in Disgaea D2, his presence alone makes the whole netherworld feel like it's screaming.
In Disgaea 5 the description regarding his power outright states that "The 4th dimension is nothing for a Super Overlord."
On my end, I feel like this is enough to confirm Baal is Low 2-C, but I'll see what others have to say... Because if he is, this scales to Laharl's Full Power key and to anyone who scales to him.
Laharl is the one who canonically beat Baal. I can get scans on this if anyone wants them, but for now I'll just say he is consistently referred to as having done the feat throughout: Disgaea 1, Disgaea 3, Makai Kingdom and Disgaea D2, which translates to MOST of the occasions where both Laharl and Baal were together and there was actually some plot involved in it rather than the extra battle alone.
Most of the cast has also fought him one way or another in their respective games.
I should mention as well that the Big Bang skill which scales to nameless grunts and generic people in the verse is 3-A via recreating the Big Bang by Punching once and that the description mentions it involves travelling through space and time.
My proposal here would be that Laharl (Full Power) gets a Low 2-C rating scaling from Baal and that the characters who scale to him (mostly everyone at this point) get upgraded as well. Thoughts?
