wait, but midboss wouldnt be midboss until long after Laharl's mom died, right? Happened while Laharl was asleep. Time paradox!!!

Or maybe thats what he was really like, and he just played it up after Laharl's mother died due to grief where he got all "serious".

But then Laharl would have recognized Mid-Boss immediately the first time they fight.

I'm surprised that the prinny toy didn't explode when Etna hit Laharl with it.

Don't question the picture. It's a good pic and that's all there is to it

Besides, this is how he looked like when he was young. Not so different I'd say.
