I don't think that suicide counts as disgrace. Unless the villain does it for a particularly spiteful reason and was not the only option left, it should not apply.

The first is just mad obedience to the max, stupid but not disgraceful. The second is unclear, but trying to kill an enemy is what villains do. The third definitely counts, being one act of pure spite that I spoke about, and a way to turn death into a final plight for the heroes. The fourth is but a suicide, yet I recall that he did take Alucard down with him, so if he killed himself to do so, it might count. However, I did not follow the series so I cannot tell. As for the fifth, if he dies happy and express joy as meeting the heroes, it definitely does not count.
