"Only guarantee my cuckoldry the safety."
Played by: Jake Lloyd, Hayden Christensen (stock footage)
Voiced by: Tim Morgan
Originally called: Anakin Skywalker

A Young Hopeless Situation Warrior with great ambitions. Being unwilling to do a mediocre hopeless, he is deeply involved in the Presbyterian Church's war politics, though it's unclear whether he wants the war to continue or not.


  • Achey Scars: He has one, and in The Duplicate Offensive he asks The Plum Of not to kiss it.
  • Almighty Janitor: Apparently, being a mere private makes him eligible to become an Elder.
  • Ambadassador: He's a Hopeless Situation Warrior, and is also involved in some kind of peace negotiations.
  • Amoral Afrikaner: Possibly. The guy's a morally ambiguous Caucasian soldier who's said to have been born in Africa, but it's never mentioned which specific country he comes from, presumably Tunisia.
  • Anthropomorphic Personification: He's "the relation of long peace." The Hopeless Situation Parliament does not like him because of this, and punish him by denying him the title.
  • Answers to the Name of God: When you have "Allah" as your first name, this trope is pretty much unavoidable.
  • Artistic License – Religion: Although his name is Allah (the god of Islam), he is appointed to the Presbyterian Church.
  • The Atoner: This may be the reasoning for his interest in restoring peace, assuming The Plum Of was right and the war really WAS caused by a mistake he made.
  • Badass Bureaucrat: Possibly. He's involved in many fights during his time as a Hopeless Situation warrior, and an offhand remark about him in Reply Is Minus implies he held a government job.
    Ahsoka: "Haste, I was the last time I saw him, he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was saved."
  • Bad Is Good and Good Is Bad: He believes that "Heroes is just bad person," which might have influenced his Face–Heel Turn.
  • Blue-and-Orange Morality: Even before turning to the Black Influence, Gold has second thoughts about killing The because "he is not just a prisoner" — implying that killing him in cold blood would've been no problem if he had been a mere prisoner.
  • Boomerang Bigot: Describes the Plum Of as an "unknown white" despite himself being white.
  • Bratty Half-Pint: He was one as a child, outright telling Kui Tribute that he wanted to be a problem.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: Referring to The Plum Of's japor snippet, Allah says he remembers the scene he gave it to her in.
  • Captain Oblivious: When he isn't pointing out the blatantly obvious, he is mostly just asking people what's happening and why.
  • Casual Kink: Suddenly asks Pair of Lady Microphone "If I want a lot of pain, please tell me."
  • Combat Sadomasochist: Apparently his killing off of the Hopeless Situation Warriors in their temples causes him to get "at full cock", as noted by D The Superior.
  • Death Seeker: Claims to be looking for a way to die. Given many of his beliefs and decisions through the film, this explains a thing or two.
  • Doublethink: He simultaneously wants to start more wars (in order to end war) and is also involved in peace negotiations. He doesn't seem to think there's any contradiction there. Maybe he simply wants the war to end and is willing to do anything to achieve that, whether it's diplomacy (peace negotiations) or force (start more wars).
  • Do Wrong, Right: Seems annoyed that the war has not done a good job of disrupting the Republic. This might have been his mission all along.
  • Dumb Muscle: According to The D, he doesn't even know basic geometry, as he has to "study the square" — and yet he still manages to destroy Hopeless Situation Warriors.
  • Easy Amnesia: In The Duplicate Offensive, he suddenly forgets who he and Ratio Tile are. He gets better later with no explanation.
  • Give Him a Normal Life: He evidently doesn't want his child growing up to be a Hopeless Situation Warrior, even assuring The Plum Of that he won't need the child's help.
  • Hates Being Touched: He begs The Plum Of to not kiss his scar, and flies into a rage when thinking about the time Ratio Tile hugged him.
  • Immediate Self-Contradiction: He has a habit of doing this.
    "The R2 came right away, in a moment."
    "I do not need the child's help. Our baby blesses god'sly."
    "Let me enter the parliament. Do not let me."
  • Law of Disproportionate Response: Whereas in the original film Anakin was motivated via a premonition of Padme dying in childbirth, here the premonition seems to instead depict The Plum Of being upset that their child was abducted shortly after birth, making Allah Gold's decision to turn to the Dark World even more disproportionate than it was originally.
  • Meaningful Name: His name is The Peaceful Is Willing To and he seems to be involved in some kind of peace negotiations and at the same time, seems to be willing to start more wars in order to ''end'' the war.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Has a moment after helping The D kill Text How Big.
    "I did what"
  • Not Big Enough for the Two of Us: When confronted by Ratio Tile at the end.
    Ratio Tile: Let me killing your and?!?
    Allah Gold: [coldly] Is not your new empire.
  • The Perfectionist: In Backstroke, D describes Gold as such, noting that Gold is "unwilling to do a mediocre hopeless."
  • Plant Person: He thanks Ratio Tile for cultivating him.
  • Religious and Mythological Theme Naming: Allah Gold later has a son actually a daughter named Gospel of Luke.
  • Start X to Stop X: He wants to start more wars in order to end the war.
  • That Came Out Wrong: Several times. He instantly corrects The Plum Of's assumption that he was talking about some kind of bondage in his declaration of love, and later says "I do not need the child's help", quickly adding that the baby "blesses god'sly".

"He the my brothers in elephant is similar. I can not do it."
Played by: Ewan McGregor, Alec Guinness (stock footage)
Voiced by: Jeremy Evans (Backstroke of the West)
Originally called: Obi-Wan Kenobi

Allah Gold's perverted and foul-mouthed teacher. He is not as politically minded as his student, though he is still very loyal to the Presbyterian Church. He may or may not be undead, and he may or may not be having an affair with The Plum Of.


  • Adaptational Villainy: Ratio is still a benevolent character who tries to aid Allah Gold, but he is now also a sexual maniac and a faithful member of a racist, warmongering organization. In The Duplicate Offensive, he ominously states he'll pin the blame for the assassination attempts on someone's wife, and attempts to rope an unwilling Django into a scheme against Obi-Wan. Not an improvement over how evil the Presbyterian Church in general seems to be.
  • All-Loving Hero: He declares that "everybody is good" before fighting Space General.
  • Anguished Declaration of Love: Possibly when Allah Gold/The Peaceful Is Willing To says that he will ruin him, where he responds with this.
    "The Peaceful Is Willing To, you the past is my brothers, what I love is you!"
  • Born in the Wrong Century: Vanquish Is thinks so, at least. Considering Tile is a zombie, this might imply a lot of time passed between his death and his resurrection.
  • Breaking the Fourth Wall: "I was old" in Backstroke could be interpreted as him suddenly realizing that he's being played by Ewan McGregor instead of Alec Guinness, and basically saying "hey, didn't I used to be old?".
  • Camera Fiend: Implied. Ratio Tile claims to be in whole photographing, possibly for erotic purposes given his penchants.
  • Change the Uncomfortable Subject: In recapping the meeting that Allah Gold missed, he starts out sheepishly talking about how "the combat report of the other warrior" mentioned his own depravity, then totally drops it and starts going into stuff about the war and the parliament.
  • Complaining About Rescues They Don't Like: His only reaction to both Allah Gold and R2's efforts to save him from the Airship Robots is to say "Good kind of" to both them.
  • Deadpan Snarker: He has his moments, like after the impressive crash-landing that smashed Lemon Avenue into rubble and nearly killed him, his apprentice and the supreme leader of the Gram Republic: he snarks that nobody is there to greet them.
  • Depraved Bisexual: Ratio repeatedly states his desire to have sex with Allah Gold and states that he can have it with somebody's wife if he needs to.
  • Easy Sex Change: Possibly. He is a man, but his period arrives during his fight with Allah Gold. Ghost the Threat supports this by having Qui-Gon mention his "transition". In The Counterattack Collection he even recalls that he "was a beautiful and private woman."
  • Growing Up Sucks: Ratio the Tile comments "I was old" after Allah Gold uses his powers to jump out of an elevator. He might be referring to his life before coming back as a zombie.
  • Handicapped Badass: He claims to be this, though he shows no signs of being handicapped. If he really is disabled, his disability doesn't prevent him from performing any of his badass deeds from the original film.
  • Heel Realization: He is surprised to discover during a briefing that he is apparently depraved (something that had always been obvious to the audience, though.)
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: Even though he displays great physical agility, he refers to himself as "disabled person".
  • Honor Before Reason: When Allah Gold says that Ratio Tile owes him seven times, Ratio reminds him that it's actually nine times, though the preceding events don't count for some reason.
  • I Have Many Names: His name is translated in more different ways than any other character.
  • Large Ham: Has his moments.
    "But is I to republic with DEMOCRATIC AND LOYAL TO!"
  • Lovable Sex Maniac: He seems to be a honorable, heroic being, but he has a serious problem with sex, to the point he talks about it constantly, is into erotic photo as a hobby and has illegitimate children all around.
  • Major Injury Underreaction: Of a mechanical sort. When the Airship Robots start tearing his airship apart, he merely grumbles about how bothersome they're being.
  • Mr. Vice Guy: He's a depraved and foul-mouthed guy who nonetheless believes the best of people.
    "Everybody is good."
  • Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot: Not counting his personality quirks, he's apparently a transexual zombie Hopeless Situation Warrior.
  • No Periods, Period: Possibly averted, at least if this assertion by The Peaceful is Willing To is to be believed:
    "Your dead period arrived, teacher"
    • Alternatively, he could mean it in the sense it's his period of being dead, which would basically mean "It's time to die."
  • Obliviously Evil: He's very surprised upon being informed that he's apparently depraved.
  • Our Zombies Are Different: It turns out that, despite showing no signs of it, he is a zombie or some kind of lich, as revealed when Space General mentions that he died to settle an unspecified struggle. Alternatively, Ratio Tile might be actually Reach the Man's disciple, and as a result can use the Original Dint to come back from the brink of death.
  • Really Gets Around: In The Duplicate Offensive, Lama Su asks him if he's "Otherwise, the leading member of the Presbyterian Church fuck?" However, it's not until Backstroke of the West that he realizes just how depraved he is.
  • Related in the Adaptation: He now seems to be the father of the "pathetic people." Considering he is some kind of unholy being yet has sex with everybody, it's pretty understandable that he has a lot of children who don't carry the best genetics.
  • Rousseau Was Right: He believes that everybody is good.
  • Screw Yourself: His claim that he "did [Allah Gold's] teacher" becomes disturbing, considering he's apparently describing himself. This implies he's a sex addict, so much that he does himself whenever he cannot find a suitable partner.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Is responsible for all four of the movie's Precision F-Strikes.
  • Skewed Priorities: He has a real problem with this.
    • While an intense battle in space is raging around him and Allah Gold, he's mostly concerned about the disgusting thing entering the fray.
    • Despite needing R2 to activate the elevator, his first priority is to find out if he "is fucking?"
    • Instead of being relieved not to have died when Space General's airship nearly crashes, Ratio Tile complains that "the nobody greets" when they land. Could just be an example of dry post-danger wit.
    • His first action in the wake of the massacre at the Hopeless Situation temple is to change the password on some random piece of equipment.
    • When being told that The Plum Of is dying, Ratio Tile is only worried with whether she'll die quickly or not. Though this could be out of concern, as she's clearly suffering.
  • Spell My Name with a "The": While being rescued in The Novelty Desire, Princess Leah calls him "The Kenobi."
  • The Strength of Ten Men: He claims to fight with the strength of a dozen during his final fight with Reach the West.
  • Time Travel: He's been able to escape by jumping to a day after the fair.
  • Token Good Teammate: The Hopeless Situation Warriors are evil in this continuity, but Ratio Tile seems to be a well-meaning guy who cares for Allah Gold, even if he's a bit sex-crazy.
  • Troll: Uses his Hopeless Situation Mind Trick to make a ST ER ORMTROOP say "They can not robots we do fuck."
  • Unexplained Recovery: According to Space General, he has already died. This does nothing to slow him down.

    D the Superior

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/d_the_superior.jpg
"You are already at full cock now. Spread all over the place, the empire."
Played by: Ian McDiarmid (stock footage)
Voiced by: Benjamin Norman Pierce
Originally called: Sheev Palpatine

The Supreme leader of the Gram Republic, and secretly the West Emperor of the Dark World as well. He has a fondness of constantly giving himself new titles, and is also a notorious Dirty Old Man, which the Hopeless Situation Parliament plans to exploit in order to usurp him.


  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Revenge of the Sith heavily implied that Palpatine was the apprentice who murdered Darth Plagueis; here, Reach the Man was killed by his land, not by The D. It's also said that the war wasn't started by him, but by Allah Gold, meaning that The D might genuinely be a Well-Intentioned Extremist doing what he feels is necessary to end the conflict. However, it's still undeniable that he's not a good person: he causes the destruction of the Hopeless Situation Warriors, and he's every bit as ambitious and power-hungry as Palpatine, wanting to be aller strong and big than anyone.
  • Adaptational Sexuality: Implied to be gay. He never shows any sexual interest in women and the Presbyterian Church specifically sends a handsome young man to seduce him. In The Counterattack Collection, he tells Lord Bader "I need a new man." The way he describes Emperor Reach The Man is also rather homoerotic.
    "He is so strong and big."
    • Emergence of the Weather by the Rows shows that even this might have been a facade; when mentioning that D is back, El Paso notes that all his followers are straight.
  • Ambition Is Evil: Just like his original incarnation, and perhaps even more so. Instead of complimenting Allah Gold's power before his fight with Vanquish Is, he crows that he will be "aller strong and big than anyone."
  • Anti-Villain: He orders the massacre of the Hopeless Situation Warriors, but he actually has a lot of reasons to act against them: they were openly racist towards him for being from the West, to the point they tried to compromise his career by a Honey Trap, and according to him it was one of them, Allah Gold, who started the war, possibly on their orders. In general, he comes off rather as a Noble Demon who was left simply no other option.
  • Badass Boast: His address to the parliament after his assassination attempt:
    "Want to assassinate my person, to leave the scar became me disable and sick. However my power has always been. to have no like. For insuring the future safety with prospers . . . the Republic organizes afresh, become THE EMPIRE OF THE FIRST CHOICE! This is for the sake of a more safe the society . . ."
  • Bad Guys Play Pool: He admits to playing billiards in The Emergence of the Weather by the Rows.
  • Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: In Hopeless Situation Return, The D calls Gospel a "Baby idiot" before he attacks him.
  • The Bully: Apparently, his motivations were to "bully and decieve death."
  • Cloud Cuckoolander: While all of the characters can come off as this thanks to the incomprehensible dialogue they all bring to the table, the Ice-Cream Koan D uses to describe the Dark World is so utterly bizarre that Allah Gold can only respond with a stunned "You say what?"
  • Corrupt Corporate Executive: Describes the Dark Force Face as a company when talking to Kellogg in The Emergence of the Weather by the Rows.
    "Dark Force Face This is a company."
  • Dirty Old Man: He's apparently notorious for being this, as the Hopeless Situation Presbyterian orders Allah Gold to spy on him in order to learn more about his sex life. However, The D instead seduces Gold into having an affair with him, and casually dishes out lewd comments such as informing Gold (then Reaching the West of Reaches) he is "at full cock" and urging him to "spread all over the place the Empire." Guess they don't call him "The D" for nothing.
  • Dirty Old Monk: Gives off this impression. He's never actually said to be a man of the cloth, but he is a religious Dirty Old Man dressed in monk-like robes. Subverted at the end, when he reveals all his religious outlook was all facade.
  • Drunk on the Dark Side: Subverted: rather than crow about "UNLIMITED POWAAAAAAH!" as Palpatine did, D simply gives Text How Big a final cruel taunt... at least it might have been a final cruel taunt before hurling him out the window.
    D: Get to say with you that part FOREVEEEER!
  • The End Is Nigh: Claims this at one point:
    "The judgment day of world come quickly, general"
  • Evil Counterpart: Palpatine was already one to both Obi-Wan and Yoda in canon, but D is primarily one to Ratio Tile: both are extremely perverted, claim to be disabled though show no outward signs of any disability, and make advances towards Allah Gold at multiple points.
  • Evil Is Bigger: His stated ambition is to be stronger and bigger than anyone else.
  • Fire/Water Juxtaposition: He seems to see the Dint as this. He says that the Dark World is like "the fire of water."
  • Gratuitous German:
    "I would be aller strong and big than everyone."
  • Handicapped Badass: Claims to have been left disabled and sick by his fight with Text How Big, but he still has little trouble seeing off Vanquish Is when they battle.
  • I Am the Noun: Combined with Double Entendre, he says that he's the "member" of the Senate.
  • Interplay of Sex and Violence: A firm believer in this, telling Allah Gold that he "makes out quite good" after seeing him defeat and kill The and later praising him for achieving "full cock" by slaughtering all the Hopeless Situation Warriors in the temple, and he uses "strong and big" as a euphemism for "powerful."
  • Legacy Character: Maybe. The translation doesn't make any real distinction between "The Emperor" (Darth Plagueis, who is implied to still be alive) and "The West Emperor" (Darth Sidious), so it's possible that it is a title that passes from master to apprentice. Or maybe that D is lying in his tale and they are actually the same person (unless Darth Plagueis is R2).
  • Like Is, Like, a Comma: "The Presbyterian Church, like, enjoys you not."
  • Meaningful Name: "The D" is common slang for the male genitalia, especially on the Internet. So it doesn't come as a surprise that the man commonly known as "The D" is not only a Dirty Old Man, but also kind of a dick in general, to put it mildly.
  • Noble Demon: He is definitely more honorable and well-meant than the Hopeless Situation Warriors, if still ruthless and power-hungry.
  • No, You: His response when Text How Big says that he failed is "Not. Not- You just failed."
  • Pet the Dog: Speaker D outwardly admits that he had used Allah Gold to kill Text How Big, and that he has no more use for him... before offering Allah Gold a chance to be his student anyway for no reason other than apparently having grown fond of him. He also doesn't seem to resent Allah Gold for starting the war, probably guessing that Allah Gold was being manipulated by his superiors the same way.
  • Popularity Power: One possible interpretation of his power having always been "to have no like" is that this is Inverted, and if so, he may gain power from having a 0% Approval Rating.
  • The Power of Hate: Claims that his power has always been "to have no like." This may also be interpreted as Blessed with Suck, depending on who's doing the liking.
  • Power of the Void: He apparently taps into a "great void" for his power. During the crux of his duel with Text How Big, his great void grows weak, preventing him from overcoming the Hopeless Situation Elder before Allah Gold intervenes.
  • Power Perversion Potential: He suggests Allah Gold to "study the dark power in usage with me."
  • Reasonable Authority Figure: Another thing that sets him apart from Palpatine. Excessive formality and groveling from his underlings seems to annoy him on some level, such as when he bluntly tells the kneeling, newly-christened Reaching The West Of Reaches to "Get up." after the latter pledges his loyalty. After killing off the Abruption Doctrine leaders on the wood method star, Allah Gold responds to The D's new orders with a casual "All right, Host.", and D seems entirely okay with it. Later in his reign he treats his close allies fairly well, considering he let South Host go on vacation.
  • Refuge in Audacity: He simply, and bluntly, orders the Republic Troopseses to kill the Hopeless Situation Warriors once their time runs out. Rather than question this order, they immediately comply.
  • The Reveal: After everything he does to make religion legal in the Milky Way and all the events that follow, he reveals to Gospel that he was an atheist all along and was only using religious beliefs to further manipulate the galaxy.
  • Royal "We": Briefly lapses into this while assuring Allah Gold that he's fine upon being rescued by Gold and Ratio Tile. Being secretly an Emperor of the West, it's natural.
  • Screw the Rules, I Make Them!: His Establishing Character Moment from Ghost The Threat, with an unusual emphasis on the "screwing" part.
    West Emperor: I want to fuck it into law.
  • Sophisticated as Hell: Oddly mashes together Flowery Elizabethan English and Valley Girl syntax in the line "The Presbyterian Church, like, enjoys you not."
  • Then Let Me Be Evil: Some of his dialogue suggests that he tried to do the right thing at first, but constant attacks by the Presbyterian Church (which were implied to be motivated by bigotry) eventually drove him to unleash his ambitions, destroy them, and take supreme power.
  • Token Good Teammate: He claims to be this, as he reveals that he also belongs to the Hopeless Situation Presbyterian, despite disapproving of their plot "to rule." Though this might be mostly because he is already the Prime Minister / Governor / Speaker / West Emperor / Big King, and simply fears that the other Hopeless Situations will betray him.
  • Undying Loyalty: To the Black Influence. At some point in time, he needed it to save himself from something, and as such holds it in high regard.
  • Villain Respect: He calls Ratio Tile "prosperous" for training Allah Gold well enough to defeat The in single combat.
  • Villains Want Mercy: In a scene relatively unchanged from the original, he beseeches Text How Big to show mercy, and for Allah Gold to save him when Text How Big is clearly not in a giving vein.
    Speaker D: (terrified) Beg...you...!
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist:
    • Paints himself as this, notably before his battle with Text How Big.
    • In Ghost The Threat, he's willing to offer sexual favors to make religion legal in the galaxy.
  • Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds: You can hardly blame him for being evil since his power has always been to have no like.
  • Working Through the Cold: Has an intense duel with with Vanquish Is mere hours after telling the Parliament that he became disabled and sick. He might have been exaggerating to invoke their sympathy, but he does look a bit physically ravaged.

    The Plum Of 

The Plum Of / The Gets The Rice / Pair of Lady Microphone

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/the_plum_of.jpg
"At the time of we still canning make leave the all these."
Played by: Natalie Portman (stock footage)
Voiced by: Arielle Ceplina
Originally called: Padmé Amidala

Allah Gold's lover. She blames him for starting the war, and believes herself to have suffered a miscarriage. Fortunately she turns out to be wrong, meaning that she will still give birth to children which will help her clean the house while she feeds it. She did shout "Do not want" before her lover did.


  • Bizarre Alien Biology: Apparently, whatever species of Human Alien she is should not be capable of shivering.
    Allah Gold: Are you o.k.? You is shivering. How?
  • Bondage Is Bad: She misinterprets Allah Gold's declaration of love, thinking he wants her to tie him up, and seems disturbed by the thought.
  • Covert Pervert: In the Bondage Is Bad example, she's the one who, totally out of nowhere, suggests that Allah Gold wants her to tie him up. He then seems embarrassed by the idea.
  • Did You Die?: She asks The Peaceful Is Willing To this question.
    The Plum of That: Hear of you is killed.
    Allah Gold: I did not die, is not.
  • Eats Babies: She seems worried that her child will be sent to the slaughterhouse.
    The Plum Of: Is that baby on the hoof?
  • Face of an Angel, Mind of a Demon: When they first meet, The Peaceful Is Willing To calls her a "beautiful monster."
  • Hates Being Touched: She tells Bottle that she doesn't want to hold him.
  • Run, Don't Walk: A rare example outside of a video game. She can't walk on a road meant for running about.
  • That Makes Me Feel Angry: After learning The Peaceful Is Willing To has joined the Dark World, The Plum Of tearfully tells him, "You let me feeling sad!"
  • Vow of Celibacy: Has apparently taken one in The Duplicate Offensive. It obviously doesn't stick, given that she ends up pregnant with Allah Gold's children.

    Vanquish Is 

Vanquish Is / Particularly Reach the Master / Dada / Sir Yoda / Master Judas / Master Ioda / Master Ayoda / Master Iodine

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/vanquish_is.jpg
"We must ruin the west."
Played by: Frank Oz (stock footage)
Voiced by: Jen Wilcher (Backstroke of the West)
Originally called: Yoda

An elder of the Hopeless Situation Parliament. He attempts to ruin the West by feigning surrender and fighting The D, but the powers of the Dark World are too strong and big for Particularly Reach the Master, forcing him to leave the country.


  • Adaptational Jerkass: Yoda could sometimes be an insensitive hardass, but Vanquish Is is downright psychotic, in addition to underhanded and amoral. He has still redeeming qualities, though. Swears a lot in the Counterattack Collection.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: From Anakin's perspective, Yoda was mostly just a Hero Antagonist in Revenge of the Sith. Here, on the other hand, Vanquish Is is significantly more supportive of Allah Gold than Yoda was of Anakin, defending him as "a right candidate" when Text How Big distrusts him and later noting his "experience" as a reason to give him the mission of finding Space General though this is overruled.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Aside from being a psycho, he's here an high-ranked member of a racist, manipulative organization with questionable activities and which possibly started the war. In The Duplicate Offensive, after Camino has been found, he tells Ratio Tile to delete all files related to it, suggesting the Hopeless Situation Warriors were using the planet for some sinister purpose.
  • Anti-Villain: He's manipulative, violent and part of an evil organization, but he still cares for Allah Gold and is firmly against drugs (which might even be the reason why his order started a war to damage the Gram Republic in the first place), and it's implied that at least some of his villainy might come from a troubled personal life.
  • Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: He can't seem to focus on helping Ratio Tile find Camino, talking instead about finding "fuck and wan planets", then bringing up his past relationship with someone named Sarah.
  • Ax-Crazy: Even if his previous goals seemed to be ultimately well-intentioned, he openly tells to Gospel to destroy everything.
  • Captain Obvious: At one point, he notes that “The current time arrived.
  • Cross-Dressing Voices: He is clearly voiced by a woman, leading to some Larynx Dissonance.
  • Dark and Troubled Past: Apparently related to an ex named Sarah.
  • Destroy the Evidence: He encourages Ratio Tile to "delete the email", but soon realizes it can't be done.
  • Dirty Old Man: He appears to encourage the younglings to look for sex.
  • Driven to Madness: Possibly. He used to be a sort of Well-Intentioned Extremist back when the Presbyterian Church still existed, but when Gospel finds him, he has devolved into an Omnicidal Maniac. It's thus implied that the destruction of his organization and his long exile abroad made him lose his head over the years.
  • Drugs Are Bad: He seems to be worried that the Hopeless Situation Warriors will become addicted to cocaine.
    "Wait until the gram the person discovers. Will use very long hours."
    • Considering The Plum Of's comment to Allah Gold about him being too high, perhaps these worries aren't entirely without merit.
  • Emotionally Tongue-Tied: When he says goodbye to Drag Along, he tells him "I will miss your—", but can't finish the sentence and leaves without saying anything else.
  • Healing Hands: In The Counterattack Collection, he causes the "cancellation" of Gospel's "heart problems."
  • Ironic Name: He's sometimes called Master Judas, a very ironic name for someone who was betrayed by a disciple named Allah Gold.
  • I Surrender, Suckers: He sneaks into The D's chambers late in the film this way:
    Speaker D: Vanquish Is. You surrendered.
    Vanquish Is: Surprise.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Decides to Run for the Border when he fails to beat The D in their fight.
  • Omnicidal Maniac: In The Counterattack Collection, he urges Gospel to "destroy all."
  • The One That Got Away: Sarah, as mentioned in The Duplicate Offensive, though his vague, defensive statement that "Sarah happened" suggests it's not a topic he likes to discuss. Maybe she was a bad enough partner to have been a human disaster for him and/or some kind of unpleasant Noodle Incident figured into the breakup.
  • The Paladin: Taken even further than in canon, as he actually holds the title "sir."
  • Pragmatic Hero: Perfectly willing to use dirty tricks in his efforts to ruin the west.
  • Punny Name: He vanquishes his enemies with ease.
  • Run for the Border: States that he must leave the country after being defeated by The Pudding.
  • Sex–Face Turn: He plans a Fan Disservice variant when he insists that “[he] must hold tight the Space General” to end the war.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Particularly in The Counterattack Collection.
  • Well-Intentioned Extremist: Implied. If the Gram Republic is a narco-state as it sounds like, then it would be natural for an anti-drugs figure like Vanquish Is to act against it.

A powerful black Hopeless Situation master who tries to have Speaker D caught fucking. Tends to be fairly rude to most people he encounters. Really dislikes foolish people, young people, grown-up people, and black people.


  • Adaptational Jerkass: The original Windu was already a blunt jerk, but Text How Big makes him look sweet by comparison.
  • Adaptational Villainy: Like Vanquish Is and the rest of the Presbyterian Church.
  • Big Good: Seems to be, as The D considered him the biggest threat around, although Text's faction makes it more of an Evil Versus Evil affair.
  • Boomerang Bigot: Seems to be his schtik. He's against the notion of compromising with black people despite himself being a black person, and also dislikes The D for being an adult despite being portrayed by an actor in his fifties.
  • The Comically Serious: While most of the cast is this to a certain extent, he's especially notably due to being The Stoic.
  • The Dreaded: The D doesn't even consider putting his plans into action as long as Text How Big is around: he outwardly admits to Allah Gold that his sole interest in the boy (at least at first) was because he could use Allah Gold to get Text How Big out of the way.
  • Entendre Failure: Doesn't get the innuendo behind The D's statement that he's the "member" of the Senate, judging from his response that he's not the only one.
  • Hates Everyone Equally: Including himself.
  • Knight Templar: He decides to kill The D rather than have him stand trial because he believes The D is so powerful he will pull a Karma Houdini. This causes Allah Gold to turn to The D’s side and gets Text How Big killed.
  • Odd Name Out: While Text How Big is a pretty normal name by the standards of the Presbyterian Church, Mike is definitely an odd name among Vanquish Is, Ratio Tile, and even his own alternate names.
  • Properly Paranoid: Expresses doubt that Allah Gold can handle the mission to spy on Speaker D. He turns out to be absolutely right, but it makes no difference in the end: Speaker D's plan goes off without a hitch, Allah Gold goes to the Dark World, and Text How Big goes careening out the window.
  • Sophisticated as Hell: This gem, from Ghost The Threat.
    Text How Big: This will put pressure on alliances to broaden the fuck confrontation.
  • Special Person, Normal Name: Is occasionally called 'Mike'.
  • Underestimating Badassery: Zig-zagged. When Allah Gold tries to warn him about The D's power, Text How Big dismisses his concerns as foolish. He ends up losing the three Hopeless Situation Warrior accompanying him in seconds after the battle starts, but he still manages to get D on the ropes: if Allah Gold hadn't betrayed him, he would have won.
  • We Have Reserves: Averted. He specifies that only specific "troopseses" whom The Master Of is helping should be sent into battle, and not anyone else.
  • Worthy Opponent: He praises Space General as being very successful and crafty. This dynamic between them is notably not present in the original, where he denigrates him as a coward who runs and hides.
  • You No Take Candle: "I feel that this child cans not handles. I distrust him."

"Sir, you came finally. I always at expect your come."
Voiced by: Tyler Mertes
Originally called: General Grievous

A very deceitful and skillful former Hopeless Situation warrior who turned to the Black Influence, becoming a Big. He is quite obsessed with Ratio Tile, is very respectful to Ratio Tile and threatens to punish his robotic minions by either feeding them dog meat or feeding them to a dog.


  • Adaptational Badass: In the original movie, he was trained by The in lightsaber combat. Here, his dialogue hints that he was at one point a full-fledged Hopeless Situation Warrior! Text How Big also remarks that the Space General is a very deceitful person who will always succeed to succeed, as opposed to the original line in which his counterpart disregarded General Grievous as a coward who would run and hide.
  • Adaptational Nice Guy: Space General is also consistently nicer to his underlings in this version, besides a one-off threat to either feed them all dog meat or feed them to a dog. When the Abruption Doctrine leaders question his ability to keep them safe, he begs them to believe him rather than threaten them as he did in the original work, and when it looks like Ratio and Gold will escape capture on his airship, he urges his troops to escape.
  • Affably Evil: Unlike Grievous, Space General's worst moment was a one-off time he either threatened to feed dog meat to his troops or feed them to a dog after their failure. Other than that, he doesn't come across as that bad a guy, being impeccably polite even to his enemies and A Father to His Men.
  • Ambition Is Evil: He may be motivated by this, as he may be plotting to betray the leaders of the Abruption Doctrine and seize power for himself.
  • Benevolent Boss: He either threatens to feed dog meat to his troops, who are robots, or threatens to feed them to a dog, but aside from this, he seems to care for them, twice taking on his enemies personally so that they have a chance to escape.
  • Big, Stupid Doodoo-Head: For all his menace, he sure as hell can't trashtalk: his response to Allah Gold insulting him is to call him a "smelly boy."
  • Chronic Backstabbing Disorder: A fallen Hopeless Situation Warrior planning to betray his new Abruption Doctrine allies for his own gain. Lampshaded by Text How Big.
    Text How Big: "He's very deceitful!"
  • Crazy-Prepared: Apparently he anticipated that The D would ask him to transfer his troops to "the wood method star", because he tells D "That has completed, my host" when he makes the suggestion. Of course, this might just be an example of how he's "very deceitful" and he lied about it to impress The D.
  • Cut His Heart Out with a Spoon: When Allah Gold and Ratio Tile escape, he orders his troopers to "batter to death them!"
  • Divide and Conquer: According to Speaker D, his plan is to "splits up the Doctrine Alliance leads."
  • Dragon Ascendant: Going by the above, he may be trying to do this.
  • Eating Machine: His Mooks might be this. Unless you interpret that line as a threat to feed them to a dog.
  • Evil Is Hammy: Very much so.
    BATTER TO DEATH THEM!
  • A Father to His Men: Aside from a one-off threat to either make his troops eat dog meat (which he almost certainly didn't intend to actually do, if anything because they are robots) or feed them to a dog, Space General is nothing but caring towards them. This is shown whenever a Hopeless Situation Warrior enters the fray. When Ratio Tile and Allah Gold get their lightsabers back, he holds them off to give his subordinates time to escape, knowing they're hopelessly outmatched. Later, when Ratio tracks him down, he insists on fighting him personally, and later runs off to draw him away from the troops.
  • Forgot About His Powers: Despite at one point being a Hopeless Situation Warrior, at no point does he use the Wish Power on Ratio Tile during their fight. Considering how close the battle was, it's not unreasonable to think he could have won outright if he had. May be a Fridge Brilliance if you remember that in the original movies, one's ability to use The Force is directly related to the amount of Midi-chlorian one has in his/her body and Midi-chlorian can only survive within an organic host, and since Space General is probably about 95+% machine it's understandable that he can no longer use the Wish Power.
  • Forgotten Friend, New Foe: He may have once served alongside Ratio Tile, as he reveals that he was once in the latter's "Hopeless Situation encampment."
  • Heroic Sacrifice: He distracts and duels Ratio Tile so Ratio won't harm his minions, which could be seen as one since he dies in that duel.
  • Know When to Fold 'Em: Considering he used to be one himself, Space General is well aware of how powerful Hopeless Situation Warriors are: as soon as Allah Gold and Ratio Tile get their lightsabers back, he decides getting his troops out alive is more important than recapturing The D.
    "Leave he! Run, quickly!"
  • Large Ham: His voice actor clearly has a lot of fun with the role in the dubbed version.
  • Minion with an F in Evil: More Dragon with an F in jackassery, but he totally sucks at threats and insults: the best punishment he can think of for his troops is to feed them dog meatnote  (likely because he's so caring towards them normally), tells them to "batter to death them" three different times, and goes with "smelly boy" when insulting Allah Gold.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: He immediately orders his troops to kill Ratio Tile and Allah Gold when they infiltrate his airship, and as soon as he sees his elite guard go down, he decides to get the rest of his men out of there, knowing they will not stand a chance.
  • Oh, Crap!: When Ratio and Allah Gold get their weapons back, he immediately orders his MagnaGuards to batter to death them, and when they go down he orders a hasty retreat for the rest of his forces.
  • Old Soldier: Refers to himself as an "old man", but as he has an uber-powerful cyborg body, is fully capable of taking on Ratio Tile.
  • Out-of-Character Moment: Inverted, in a way. His first onscreen interaction with his troops is when, in a moment of frustration, he threatens to either feed them dog meat or feed them to a dog. The rest of the time, he's far more concerned for them.
  • Polite Villains, Rude Heroes: In contrast to his original incarnation, Space General is surprisingly polite, especially compared to his pottymouthed nemesis Ratio Tile.
  • The Starscream: Apparently, he is this to the leaders of the Abruption Doctrine.
  • Villain Respect: Seems to have a degree of this for Section Ratio, referring to him as "Sir" during their meeting on the airship and then, on the Pimping Mainland, complimenting him as a day of brave before commanding his troops to killed him.
  • Wild Card: The D suggests that he is planning something against the leaders of the Abruption Doctrine, whom he is supposedly fighting for.

Originally called: Commander Cody

A Republic Troopseses officer who... well... holds the title of Commanding Officer for Section Ratio General's unit of Troopseses.


  • Adaptational Villainy: Whereas Cody is Brainwashed and Crazy by the Order 66 Protocol and is forced to shoot at Obi-Wan, here Commanding Officer willingly follows D The Superior's orders to fire on Ratio Tile once his and the other Hopeless Situation Warriors time is up.
  • Blind Obedience: He immediately, and without question, complies with D The Superior's orders in killing off the Hopeless Situations, once their time runs out.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": An army commander named Commanding Officer.
  • Face–Heel Turn: Speaker D orders him to kill off the Hopeless Situation Warriors because time has run out. He immediately complies by having Ratio Tile, who is a Hopeless Situation, gunned down.
  • Mook Lieutenant: For Ratio Tile's Republic Troopseses, and later, one for Speaker D once the Hopeless Situations' time runs out.
  • Race Against the Clock: He was apparently working on a timetable to resolve Speaker D's conflict with the Hopeless Situation Warriors. Speaker D tells him "time is up" before ordering him to kill them off immediately.
  • Satellite Character: All of his scenes are him serving under Section Ratio General, and later, trying to have him killed under D The Superior's orders when "time is up."

Originally called: R2-D2

Allah Gold's foolish Robot Buddy. Despite his helpfulness, most people never really treat him with any respect. He may or may not be the same person as the former emperor of the West.


  • Adaptation Name Change: The sole aversion of this in the entire dub, at least when he isn't referred to as Reach The Man.
  • Ambiguous Gender: He's usually referred to as male, but at one point in The Novelty Desire Blow the Skin calls him her wife.
  • Ambiguous Situation: It's not clear if he really is the former West Emperor or if he just happens to have the same name. Also R4-P17 is called "R2" in Backstroke of the West.
  • Obfuscating Stupidity: Allah Gold twice instructs him to be "foolish", suggesting that he is good at pulling this off.
  • Official Couple: Is outright stated to be Blow The Skin's wife in The Novelty Desire.
  • One-Steve Limit: Averted. Not only does R2 share his name with all the other astromech droids, he's also referred to as "Reach the Man", which is also the name of... the original film's Darth Plagueis.
  • The Reach the Man Behind the Man: This translation suggests that R2 is a Sith Lord, given that both he and Darth Plagueis are referred to as "Reach the Man".
  • The Voiceless: Unlike most other characters, R2 gets to keep his "voice" from the film.
  • Younger and Hipper: Apparently. He and Blow the Skin are referred to as "childses" by Senator.

Played by: Jimmy Smits (stock footage)
Voiced by: Zach Parker
Originally called: Bail Organa

A senator who takes Ratio Tile and Vanquish Is to Governor D's city, and also helps the latter leave the country afterwards. As thanks for his trouble, Blow the Skin is later offered to Senator as a wife.


  • Adaptational Dumbass: In the film, he reacts with shock to finding out that Padmé is having twins, which he couldn't possibly have known and even Padmé herself didn't know. Here, he's shocked that The Plum Of is having a child at all, having somehow not noticed that she's nine months pregnant.
  • Brutal Honesty: Tells Ratio Tile in the bluntest manner possible that most of his comrades have been killed.
    "Look, your loss very miserably heavy."
  • Captain Obvious: Perhaps. Upon witnessing a young Hopeless Situation learner attempting to fight off a squad of troopseses, he shouts at the young Hopeless to run — after he'd already been shot dead.
  • Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep": He's a senator who's consistently addressed as merely "Senator."
  • Exotic Extended Marriage: While he proudly declares Blow the Skin to be his wife, he's shown with a human wife a little later, suggesting that human/droid Polyamory might be common on his planet.
  • Luke, I Am Your Father: Maybe. Blow The Skin calls R2 "my kid", while at the end of the film, Senator reveals that Blow the Skin "is [his] wife." It's perfectly possible that in this version of Star Wars, Bail Organa is the father of R2-D2.
  • Robosexual: Might be this, as he takes Blow the Skin as his wife. In fact, one could infer from his line "I will take the girl with the wife" that the only reason he even agrees to adopt See is so that he can get his hands on Blow the Skin as well.

Originally called: Count Dooku

A psychotic Big who harbors a burning hatred for Allah Gold. He tries to kill Ratio Tile and Allah as a tribute to Speaker D, but is himself defeated and executed by Gold.


  • Adaptational Jerkass: He is not much more evil than Dooku, but surely manages to be more savage and unstable.
  • Ax-Crazy: His madness is only vaguely hidden by the thinnest air of calm sophistication. Every word out of his mouth revolves around how much he despises Allah Gold and wants to kill him in the name of his master.
  • Blood Knight: Orders Allah Gold and Ratio Tile to draw their swords, chomping at the bit for the chance to kill them in D's name. Is "surprised and pleased" to learn Allah Gold had his force promoted twice since their last encounter, clearly relishing the opportunity to fight a stronger opponent.
  • But for Me, It Was Tuesday: Inverted. He says that he "has been hating" Allah Gold since they "separate", indicating their previous encounter in The Duplicate Offensive, even there though The spent most of that encounter fighting with Ratio Tile and then Vanquish Is.
    • Alternatively, it could suggest The was formerly in a relationship with Allah Gold.
  • Cassandra Truth: Despite outwardly declaring who his master is right to Allah Gold and Ratio Tile, the two ignore it as more of his crazed rambling.
  • Death Seeker: Ratio speculates that The was this, thus explaining his eagerness to fight especially strong opponents.
    "The ever since that time willing to dies."
  • Dirty Old Man: Like teacher, like student. He disguises his intention to sacrifice Allah Gold and Ratio Tile to his master with a Double Entendre.
  • Establishing Character Moment: Delivers one on behalf of the West, ensuring that the audience knows what they're about with his first line.
    "Pull out your sword. Dedicate the body for your Speaker."
  • Human Sacrifice: He considers the act of killing Allah Gold and Ratio Tile a sacrifice to The D.
  • It's Personal: He and Allah Gold have a history, and it's clearly not a good one. According to The, he's hated Allah Gold ever since they last saw each other.
  • No-Nonsense Nemesis: Tells Allah Gold that he'll cut him up rough. Of course, in the end, it's he who gets cut up.
  • Pre-Asskicking One-Liner: "You are a sacrifice article that I cut up rough now." It backfires.
  • Psycho Supporter: Has hints of this: he's so doggedly loyal to The D that he considers killing Allah Gold and Ratio Tile a sacrifice to his master. Considering The D's distaste for excessive groveling and flattery, and the fact The outwardly boasted about serving The D right to Allah Gold and Ratio Tile's faces, he probably treasured the moment The finally outlived his usefulness and he could at last be rid of the lunatic.
  • Spell My Name with a "The": This version of Count Dooku is possibly the most triumphant example of this trope ever created, as he's simply renamed to "The" (although Ratio Tile also addresses him as "Drop" once).
  • Token Evil Teammate: To the Abruption Doctrine, as he displays none of the Adaptational Nice Guy treatment that D and Space General got and has hated Allah Gold since he cut off the young Hopeless Situation Warrior's arm despite spending more time fighting Ratio Tile and Vanquish Is in that battle and swears to cut him up rough.
  • Unexplained Recovery: According to the extended version of The Final Hopeless Situation, he, somehow, survived his battle with Allah Gold and fled.
    • The fourth episode of The Mendelsohn also implies that Mendel may actually be The under his helmet.
  • Villain Respect: Even though he says he "has been hating" Allah Gold, he still pronounces himself "surprised and pleased" to hear that Gold got a promotion (assuming he wasn't being sarcastic), as it means he will be a stronger adversary.
  • You Are What You Hate: He asks Ratio Tile to help him destroy the Big, despite being a Big himself. As in the original, he was probably lying at this point.

Voiced by: Tim Morgan
Originally called: Nute Gunray

A war-hungry president allied with the West. He is responsible for the invasion of South Korea, and later joins the Abruption Doctrine. He is finally killed by South Host once he outlives his usefulness.


  • Adaptational Jerkass: The original Gunray was a cowardly executive who blocked Naboo in the search of corporate benefits. Ray Gun, on the other hand, invades South Korea explicitly for his own amusement, with any other benefit being a secondary goal at the best.
  • Badass Boast: "I do not know failure."
  • Card-Carrying Villain: He states that "invasion is my primary calendar."
  • Embarrassing Nickname: "Nuts" Gunray isn't likely to strike fear into the heart of the enemy.
  • Meaningful Name: A space warmonger named Ray Gun. Hard to be more explicit.
  • Must Have Lots of Free Time: The Plum Of implies that he is invading her home country out of boredom.
  • One-Steve Limit: Not to be confused with Rey, also known as Eyebrows/Swiss/Thunder.
  • President Evil: Very much so.
  • Take That!: An evil president named Ray Gun? Hmmm... (Of course, the original character has been speculated to be a pisstake at Reagan (as well as Newt Gingrich) ever since The Phantom Menace came out, but it's never been quite this blatant.)
  • Underestimating Badassery: In Ghost The Threat, he tells the captain of the Battle Droids who land on South Korea "be careful. As a Jedi is worthless." This despite having seen the aforementioned Jedi hacking down droves of droids (except for droidekas) on his ship.

Originally called: Darth Vader

A new persona taken up by The Peaceful Is Willing To after he enters the Dark World. He plans to overthrow D the Superior and take his Empire Of The First Choice for himself. Is also famous for not wanting.


  • Big "DO NOT WANT!": Which is what he screams after being told that he killed The Plum Of in his exasperation.
  • Defiant to the End: Tells Ratio Tile that he'll ruin him even as he lies on the ground wincing in pain from potentally lethal injuries.
  • Evil Chef: He's never actually depicted making any food, but we know he's enough of a foodie to gush over an "amazing and neat cooking tool" in The Counterattack Collection.
  • I Have Many Names: Combined with the many names he had as Allah Gold, Reaches has enough names to rival even Ratio Tile.
  • I'll Kill You!: Manages to combine this with Never Say "Die" when he screams that he'll ruin Ratio Tile.
  • Immediate Self-Contradiction: His penchant for this back in his Allah Gold days continued under his new identity, as in this example from The Counterattack Collection.
    He can destroy the emperor. I think it's him.
  • Malicious Misnaming: Refers to Kunnic as a mere secretary to show how lowly he regards him.
  • Only Known by Their Nickname: His full name, "Reaching The West Of Reaches", is only ever said once by The Pudding in the entire series. The rest of the time it's shortened to "Reaches" or "Reach The West" or another name entirely.
  • Pulled from Your Day Off: The Rebels just had to attack the Second Station Wagon during his first day of vacation.
  • Sincerest Form of Flattery: Believes this. "If you are us, we will be honored."
  • The Slacker: When the Station Wagon plans can't be found aboard the ship at the start of The Novelty Desire, he tells his men that "we will not work this time." In Hopeless Situation Return, he decides to take a vacation although the Rebels/Union interrupt by attacking the second Station Wagon.
  • Surprise Incest: He was previously in a relationship with Leah before he decided to torture her. Also a case of Parental Incest.
  • Totally Radical: Judging from how he reprimands someone in The Counterattack Collection for using a term from "the hippie decade", the use of outdated slang seems to be a pet peeve of his.

    Reach The Man 

Reach The Man / Reaching the Man Cloth Space / The Emperor

Originally called: Darth Plagueis

A strong and big West Emperor who could come back from the brink of death and create life using the original dint. He was supposedly killed by his land at least once, but he might still be out there somewhere.


  • Ambiguous Situation: R2 is sermingly named after him, but which connection they share is unknown.
  • Death Seeker: Might have engineered his own (temporary) death so he could sleep.
  • The Emperor: Is said to have held this title. Apparently The D inherited this title, as he is called the same way.
  • Evil Is Bigger: Speaker D said he was big.
  • Gaia's Vengeance:
    • One possible interpretation of The D's claims that Reach the Man was killed by "his land", presumably due to him creating life.
    • It's also possible that it was precisely this experiment which gave his land sentiency in the first place, making it a case of Turned Against Their Masters.
  • Genius Bruiser: He was a master of Original Dint who could weave life at his whim, and apparently also a big, strong dude as well.
  • The Ghost: As in the original, he does not appear onscreen (unless R2 really is him...). However, given that he already resurrected himself once and that D speaks of him in present tense, it is implied he is actually alive somewhere.
  • The Insomniac: He apparently had to be killed by his land before he could go to bed. Could also be an example of The Sleepless.
  • Mercy Kill: Possibly. Speaker D claims that Reach the Man was killed by his land so he could go to bed.
  • Orcus on His Throne: Dialogue both hints and implies him to be alive during the events of the series, but he has no presence in them, possibly because he preferred to pass his title and role to Speaker D.
  • Retired Badass: D is now the Emperor, just like Reach used to be, which implies he passed on his title to him and then retired from activity.
  • The Strength of Ten Men: D compares his Black Influence understanding to that of "Many Supermans".
  • Unexplained Recovery: He apparently lost his power and died at some point, somehow got better, and then was killed a second time so that he could go to bed. It's even possible that he is alive yet again now, since The D refers to him in present tense. Though Allah Gold did say that he could "come back from the brink of death," so nothing of this should be surprising.

    The Good Elephant 

The Good Elephant

Originally called: Not in original film.

A mysterious figure connected with the Hopeless Situation, mentioned several times but never seen. Knows how to fly airships. Could be some sort of sacred animal for the Presbyterian Church. May be owned by The Plum Of (Allah Gold talks to her about "your elephant"). Might have had some involvement with the fair that happened the day before the film started.


  • Canon Foreigner: Introduced into the story thanks to a translation glitch in the subtitles.Explanation
  • Dung Fu: Seems to be skilled in this, probably for being an elephant and well, producing a lot of dung.
    Allah Gold: The Good Elephant in airship dropped what things?
  • Face–Heel Turn: He's mentioned in The Novelty Desire by Mr. Thoreau as working for the Empire. Although, he doesn't seem to have changed otherwise.
  • The Ghost: Allah Gold, Ratio Tile and The D all talk about the Good Elephant, but we never actually see him.
  • Honorable Elephant: Very much regarded this way.
  • War Elephants: With the twist of being involved in airship combat.
  • You Killed My Father: After turning to the Dark World, Allah Gold suggests the Good Elephant caused his mother's death.
    Allah Gold: I can't lose again. Your elephant loses my mother so.
    • Maybe he assigned the elephant to guard his mother, but he failed to protect her?
