| 14 | |
| 15 | 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. |
| 16 | ---- |
| 17 | |
| 18 | * AcheyScars: He has one, and in ''The Duplicate Offensive'' he asks The Plum Of not to kiss it. |
| 19 | * AlmightyJanitor: Apparently, being a mere ''private'' makes him eligible to become an Elder. |
| 20 | * {{Ambadassador}}: He's a Hopeless Situation Warrior, and is also involved in some kind of peace negotiations. |
| 21 | * AmoralAfrikaner: Possibly. The guy's a morally ambiguous Caucasian soldier who's said to have been born in UsefulNotes/{{Africa}}, but it's never mentioned which specific country he comes from, presumably UsefulNotes/{{Tunisia}}. |
| 22 | * AnthropomorphicPersonification: 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. |
| 23 | * AnswersToTheNameOfGod: When you have "Allah" as your first name, this trope is pretty much unavoidable. |
| 24 | * ArtisticLicenseReligion: Although his name is Allah (the god of Islam), he is appointed to the Presbyterian Church. |
| 25 | * TheAtoner: 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. |
| 26 | * BadassBureaucrat: Possibly. He's involved in many fights during his time as a Hopeless Situation warrior, and an offhand remark about him in ''[[WesternAnimation/StarWarsRebels Reply Is Minus]]'' implies he held a government job. |
| 27 | --> Ahsoka: "Haste, I was the last time I saw him, he was the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was saved." |
| 28 | * BadIsGoodAndGoodIsBad: He believes that "Heroes is just bad person," which might have influenced his FaceHeelTurn. |
| 29 | * BlueAndOrangeMorality: 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. |
| 30 | * BoomerangBigot: Describes the Plum Of as an "unknown white" despite himself being white. |
| 31 | * BrattyHalfPint: He was one as a child, outright telling Kui Tribute that he ''wanted'' to be a problem. |
| 32 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: Referring to The Plum Of's [[TragicKeepsake japor snippet]], Allah says he remembers the scene he gave it to her in. |
| 33 | * CaptainOblivious: [[CaptainObvious When he isn't pointing out the blatantly obvious,]] he is mostly just asking people what's happening and why. |
| 34 | * CasualKink: Suddenly asks Pair of Lady Microphone "If I want a lot of pain, please tell me." |
| 35 | * CombatSadomasochist: Apparently his killing off of the Hopeless Situation Warriors in their temples causes him to get "[[RagingStiffie at full cock]]", as noted by D The Superior. |
| 36 | * DeathSeeker: 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. |
| 37 | * {{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). |
| 38 | * DoWrongRight: Seems annoyed that the war has not done a good job of disrupting the Republic. This might have been his mission all along. |
| 39 | * DumbMuscle: 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. |
| 40 | * EasyAmnesia: In ''The Duplicate Offensive'', he suddenly forgets who he and Ratio Tile are. He gets better later with no explanation. |
| 41 | * GiveHimANormalLife: 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. |
| 42 | * HatesBeingTouched: He begs The Plum Of to not kiss his scar, and [[BerserkButton flies into a rage]] when thinking about the time Ratio Tile ''hugged'' him. |
| 43 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: He has a habit of doing this. |
| 44 | -->"The R2 came right away, in a moment." |
| 45 | -->"I do not need the child's help. Our baby blesses god'sly." |
| 46 | -->"Let me enter the parliament. Do not let me." |
| 47 | * LawOfDisproportionateResponse: 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. |
| 48 | * MeaningfulName: 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'' [[StartXToStopX start more wars in order to ''end'' the war]]. |
| 49 | * MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Has a moment after helping The D kill Text How Big. |
| 50 | -->"I did what" |
| 51 | * NotBigEnoughForTheTwoOfUs: When confronted by Ratio Tile at the end. |
| 52 | -->'''Ratio Tile:''' Let me killing your and?!?\ |
| 53 | '''Allah Gold:''' ''[coldly]'' Is not ''your'' new empire. |
| 54 | * ThePerfectionist: In ''Backstroke'', D describes Gold as such, noting that Gold is "unwilling to do a mediocre hopeless." |
| 55 | * PlantPerson: He thanks Ratio Tile for cultivating him. |
| 56 | * ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming: Allah Gold later has a son [[spoiler:actually a daughter]] named Gospel of Luke. |
| 57 | * StartXToStopX: He wants to start more wars in order to ''end'' the war. |
| 58 | * ThatCameOutWrong: 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", [[VerbalBackspace quickly adding that the baby "blesses god'sly".]] |

| 68 | |
| 69 | 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. |
| 70 | ---- |
| 71 | * AdaptationalVillainy: 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. |
| 72 | * AllLovingHero: He declares that "everybody is good" before fighting Space General. |
| 73 | * AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Possibly when Allah Gold/The Peaceful Is Willing To says that he will ruin him, where he responds with this. |
| 74 | --> "The Peaceful Is Willing To, you the past is my brothers, what I love is you!" |
| 75 | * BornInTheWrongCentury: 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. |
| 76 | * BreakingTheFourthWall: "I was old" in ''Backstroke'' could be interpreted as him suddenly realizing that he's being played by Creator/EwanMcGregor instead of Creator/AlecGuinness, and basically saying "hey, didn't I used to be old?". |
| 77 | * CameraFiend: Implied. Ratio Tile claims to be in whole photographing, possibly for erotic purposes given his penchants. |
| 78 | * ChangeTheUncomfortableSubject: 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. |
| 79 | * ComplainingAboutRescuesTheyDontLike: 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. |
| 80 | * DeadpanSnarker: 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. |
| 81 | * DepravedBisexual: 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. |
| 82 | * EasySexChange: [[WildMassGuessing 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." |
| 83 | * GrowingUpSucks: 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. |
| 84 | * HandicappedBadass: 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. |
| 85 | * HeelRealization: He is surprised to discover during a briefing that he is apparently depraved (something that had always been obvious to the audience, though.) |
| 86 | * HeroicSelfDeprecation: Even though he displays great physical agility, he refers to himself as "disabled person". |
| 87 | * HonorBeforeReason: 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. |
| 88 | * IHaveManyNames: His name is translated in more different ways than any other character. |
| 89 | * LargeHam: Has his moments. |
| 90 | -->"But is I to republic with '''DEMOCRATIC''' AND LOYAL TO!" |
| 91 | * LovableSexManiac: 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. |
| 92 | * MajorInjuryUnderreaction: Of a mechanical sort. When the Airship Robots start tearing his airship apart, he merely grumbles about how bothersome they're being. |
| 93 | * MrViceGuy: He's a depraved and foul-mouthed guy who nonetheless believes the best of people. |
| 94 | -->"Everybody is good." |
| 95 | * NinjaPirateZombieRobot: Not counting his personality quirks, he's apparently a transexual zombie Hopeless Situation Warrior. |
| 96 | * NoPeriodsPeriod: Possibly averted, at least if this assertion by The Peaceful is Willing To is to be believed: |
| 97 | -->"Your dead period arrived, teacher" |
| 98 | ** Alternatively, he could mean it in the sense it's his ''period'' of being ''dead'', which would basically mean "It's time to die." |
| 99 | *** [[TakeAThirdOption Both?]] |
| 100 | * ObliviouslyEvil: He's very surprised upon being informed that he's apparently depraved. |
| 101 | * OurZombiesAreDifferent: It turns out that, despite showing no signs of it, he is a zombie or some kind of [[OurLichesAreDifferent 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. |
| 102 | * ReallyGetsAround: 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. |
| 103 | * RelatedInTheAdaptation: 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. |
| 104 | * RousseauWasRight: He believes that everybody is good. |
| 105 | * ScrewYourself: 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. |
| 106 | * SirSwearsALot: Is responsible for all four of the movie's [[PrecisionFStrike Precision F-Strikes.]] |
| 107 | * SkewedPriorities: He has a real problem with this. |
| 108 | ** While an intense battle in space is raging around him and Allah Gold, he's mostly concerned about the disgusting thing entering the fray. |
| 109 | ** Despite needing R2 to activate the elevator, his first priority is to find out if he "is fucking?" |
| 110 | ** 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. |
| 111 | ** 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. |
| 112 | ** 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. |
| 113 | * SpellMyNameWithAThe: While being rescued in ''The Novelty Desire'', Princess Leah calls him "The Kenobi." |
| 114 | * TheStrengthOfTenMen: He claims to fight with the strength of a dozen during his final fight with Reach the West. |
| 115 | * TimeTravel: He's been able to escape by jumping to a day after the fair. |
| 116 | * TokenGoodTeammate: 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. |
| 117 | * {{Troll}}: Uses his [[JediMindTrick Hopeless Situation Mind Trick]] to make a ST ER ORMTROOP say "They can not robots we do fuck." |
| 118 | * UnexplainedRecovery: According to Space General, he has already died. This does nothing to slow him down. |

| 124 | [[caption-width-right:350:"You are already at full cock now. Spread all over the place, the empire."]] |
| 125 | ->'''Played by:''' Creator/IanMcDiarmid (stock footage) |
| 126 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Benjamin Norman Pierce |
| 127 | ->'''Originally called:''' [[Characters/StarWarsEmperorPalpatine Sheev Palpatine]] |
| 128 | |
| 129 | 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 DirtyOldMan, which the Hopeless Situation Parliament plans to exploit in order to usurp him. |
| 130 | ---- |
| 131 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: ''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 WellIntentionedExtremist 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 [[GratuitousGerman aller]] strong and big than anyone. |
| 132 | * AdaptationalSexuality: 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. |
| 133 | -->"He is so strong and big." |
| 134 | ** ''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. |
| 135 | * AmbitionIsEvil: 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." |
| 136 | * AntiVillain: 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 HoneyTrap, 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 NobleDemon who was left simply no other option. |
| 137 | * BadassBoast: His address to the parliament after his assassination attempt: |
| 138 | -->"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 . . ." |
| 139 | * BadGuysPlayPool: He admits to playing billiards in ''The Emergence of the Weather by the Rows''. |
| 140 | * BigStupidDoodooHead: In ''Hopeless Situation Return'', The D calls Gospel a "Baby idiot" before he attacks him. |
| 141 | * TheBully: Apparently, his motivations were to "bully and decieve death." |
| 142 | * CloudCuckoolander: While all of the characters can come off as this thanks to the incomprehensible dialogue they all bring to the table, the IceCreamKoan D uses to describe the Dark World is so utterly bizarre that Allah Gold can only respond with a stunned [[FlatWhat "You say what?"]] |
| 143 | * CorruptCorporateExecutive: Describes the Dark Force Face as a company when talking to Kellogg in ''The Emergence of the Weather by the Rows''. |
| 144 | -->"Dark Force Face This is a company." |
| 145 | * DirtyOldMan: 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 [[UnusualEuphemism the Empire]]." [[MeaningfulName Guess they don't call him "The D" for nothing.]] |
| 146 | * DirtyOldMonk: Gives off this impression. He's never actually said to be a man of the cloth, but he ''is'' a religious DirtyOldMan dressed in monk-like robes. Subverted at the end, when he reveals all his religious outlook was all facade. |
| 147 | * DrunkOnTheDarkSide: 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. |
| 148 | -->'''D:''' Get to say with you that part ''FOREVEEEER!'' |
| 149 | * TheEndIsNigh: Claims this at one point: |
| 150 | -->"The judgment day of world come quickly, general" |
| 151 | * EvilCounterpart: Palpatine was already one to both Obi-Wan and Yoda in canon, but D is primarily one to Ratio Tile: both are [[DirtyOldMan extremely perverted]], claim to be disabled though show no outward signs of any disability, and make advances towards Allah Gold at multiple points. |
| 152 | * EvilIsBigger: His stated ambition is to be stronger and bigger than anyone else. |
| 153 | * FireWaterJuxtaposition: He seems to see the Dint as this. He says that the Dark World is like "the fire of water." |
| 154 | * GratuitousGerman: |
| 155 | -->"I would be aller strong and big than everyone." |
| 156 | * HandicappedBadass: 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. |
| 157 | * IAmTheNoun: Combined with DoubleEntendre, he says that he's the "member" of the Senate. |
| 158 | * InterplayOfSexAndViolence: 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 "[[RagingStiffie full cock]]" by slaughtering all the Hopeless Situation Warriors in the temple, and he uses "strong and big" as a euphemism for "powerful." |
| 159 | * LegacyCharacter: Maybe. The translation doesn't make any real distinction between "The Emperor" (Darth Plagueis, [[SparedByTheAdaptation 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). |
| 160 | * LikeIsLikeAComma: "The Presbyterian Church, like, enjoys you not." |
| 161 | * MeaningfulName: "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 DirtyOldMan, but also kind of [[{{Jerkass}} a dick]] in general, to put it mildly. |
| 162 | * NobleDemon: He is definitely more honorable and well-meant than the Hopeless Situation Warriors, if still ruthless and power-hungry. |
| 163 | * NoYou: His response when Text How Big says that he failed is "Not. Not- You just failed." |
| 164 | * PetTheDog: Speaker D outwardly admits that he had used Allah Gold to kill Text How Big, and that he has [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness 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. |
| 165 | * PopularityPower: One possible interpretation of his power having always been "to have no like" is that this is [[InvertedTrope Inverted]], and if so, he may gain power from having a ZeroPercentApprovalRating. |
| 166 | * ThePowerOfHate: Claims that his power has always been "to have no like." This may also be interpreted as BlessedWithSuck, depending on who's doing the liking. |
| 167 | * PowerOfTheVoid: 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. |
| 168 | * PowerPerversionPotential: He suggests Allah Gold to "study the dark power in usage with me." |
| 169 | * ReasonableAuthorityFigure: 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. |
| 170 | * RefugeInAudacity: He simply, and bluntly, orders the [[BumblingSidekick Republic Troopseses]] to kill the Hopeless Situation Warriors once their time runs out. Rather than question this order, [[BlindObedience they immediately comply]]. |
| 171 | * TheReveal: After everything he does to make religion legal in the Milky Way and all the events that follow, he reveals to Gospel that [[spoiler:he was an atheist all along and was only using religious beliefs to further manipulate the galaxy.]] |
| 172 | -->[[spoiler:[[WhamLine "Your friends too faith"]]]] |
| 173 | * RoyalWe: 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. |
| 174 | * ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem: His EstablishingCharacterMoment from ''Ghost The Threat'', with an unusual emphasis on the "screwing" part. |
| 175 | -->'''West Emperor:''' I want to [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] it into law. |
| 176 | * SophisticatedAsHell: Oddly mashes together FloweryElizabethanEnglish and ValleyGirl syntax in the line "The Presbyterian Church, like, enjoys you not." |
| 177 | * ThenLetMeBeEvil: 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. |
| 178 | * TokenGoodTeammate: 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 [[InconsistentDub Prime Minister / Governor / Speaker / West Emperor / Big King,]] [[TheStarscream and simply fears that the other Hopeless Situations will betray him.]] |
| 179 | * UndyingLoyalty: To the Black Influence. At some point in time, he needed it to save himself from [[NoodleIncident something]], and as such holds it in high regard. |
| 180 | * VillainRespect: He calls Ratio Tile "prosperous" for training Allah Gold well enough to defeat The in single combat. |
| 181 | * VillainsWantMercy: 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. |
| 182 | -->'''Speaker D''': (terrified) Beg...you...! |
| 183 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: |
| 184 | ** Paints himself as this, notably before his battle with Text How Big. |
| 185 | -->"[[TranquilFury That I]] ''[[PreAsskickingOneLiner have]]'' [[TranquilFury to revolt]]." |
| 186 | ** In ''Ghost The Threat'', he's willing to offer sexual favors to make religion legal in the galaxy. |
| 187 | * WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: You can hardly blame him for being evil since his power has always been [[AllOfTheOtherReindeer to have no like.]] |
| 188 | * WorkingThroughTheCold: 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. |

| 204 | * CovertPervert: In the BondageIsBad 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. |
| 205 | * DidYouDie: She asks The Peaceful Is Willing To this question. |

| 212 | * RunDontWalk: A rare example outside of a video game. She can't walk on a road meant for running about. |
| 213 | * ThatMakesMeFeelAngry: After learning The Peaceful Is Willing To has joined the Dark World, The Plum Of tearfully tells him, "You let me feeling sad!" |
| 214 | * VowOfCelibacy: Has apparently taken one in ''The Duplicate Offensive''. It obviously doesn't stick, given that she ends up pregnant with Allah Gold's children. |

| 224 | |
| 225 | 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. |
| 226 | ---- |
| 227 | * AdaptationalJerkass: 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''. |
| 228 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: From Anakin's perspective, Yoda was mostly just a HeroAntagonist 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. |
| 229 | * AdaptationalVillainy: 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. |
| 230 | * AntiVillain: 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. |
| 231 | * AttentionDeficitOohShiny: 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. |
| 232 | * AxCrazy: Even if his previous goals seemed to be ultimately well-intentioned, he openly tells to Gospel to destroy everything. |
| 233 | * CaptainObvious: At one point, he notes that “[[ShapedLikeItself The current time arrived.]]” |
| 234 | * CrossDressingVoices: He is clearly voiced by a woman, leading to some LarynxDissonance. |
| 235 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Apparently related to an ex named Sarah. |
| 236 | * DestroyTheEvidence: He encourages Ratio Tile to "delete the email", but soon realizes it can't be done. |
| 237 | * DirtyOldMan: He appears to encourage the younglings to look for sex. |
| 238 | * DrivenToMadness: Possibly. He used to be a sort of WellIntentionedExtremist back when the Presbyterian Church still existed, but when Gospel finds him, he has devolved into an OmnicidalManiac. It's thus implied that the destruction of his organization and his long exile abroad made him lose his head over the years. |
| 239 | * DrugsAreBad: He seems to be worried that the Hopeless Situation Warriors will become addicted to cocaine. |
| 240 | -->"Wait until the gram the person discovers. Will use very long hours." |
| 241 | ** Considering The Plum Of's comment to Allah Gold about him being too high, perhaps these worries aren't entirely without merit. |
| 242 | * EmotionallyTongueTied: 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. |
| 243 | * HealingHands: In ''The Counterattack Collection'', he causes the "cancellation" of Gospel's "heart problems." |
| 244 | * IronicName: He's sometimes called Master Judas, a very ironic name for someone who was betrayed by a disciple named Allah Gold. |
| 245 | * ISurrenderSuckers: He sneaks into The D's chambers late in the film this way: |
| 246 | -->'''Speaker D:''' Vanquish Is. You surrendered.\ |
| 247 | '''Vanquish Is:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Surprise.]] |
| 248 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: Decides to RunForTheBorder when he fails to beat The D in their fight. |
| 249 | * OmnicidalManiac: In ''The Counterattack Collection'', he urges Gospel to "destroy all." |
| 250 | * TheOneThatGotAway: 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 NoodleIncident figured into the breakup. |
| 251 | * ThePaladin: Taken even further than in canon, as he actually holds the title "sir." |
| 252 | * PragmaticHero: Perfectly willing to use [[ISurrenderSuckers dirty]] [[RunForTheBorder tricks]] in his efforts to ruin the west. |
| 253 | * PunnyName: He ''vanquishes'' his enemies with ease. |
| 254 | * RunForTheBorder: [[http://img87.imageshack.us/img87/4184/botw95zg5.jpg States that he must leave the country after being defeated by The Pudding.]] |
| 255 | * SexFaceTurn: He plans a FanDisservice variant when he insists that “[he] must [[{{Robosexual}} hold tight the Space General]]” to end the war. |
| 256 | * SirSwearsALot: Particularly in ''The Counterattack Collection''. |
| 257 | * WellIntentionedExtremist: 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. |

| 267 | |
| 268 | 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, [[BoomerangBigot grown-up people, and black people]]. |
| 269 | ---- |
| 270 | * AdaptationalJerkass: The original Windu was already a blunt jerk, but Text How Big makes him look sweet by comparison. |
| 271 | * AdaptationalVillainy: Like Vanquish Is and the rest of the Presbyterian Church. |
| 272 | * BigGood: Seems to be, as The D considered him the biggest threat around, although Text's faction makes it more of an EvilVersusEvil affair. |
| 273 | * BoomerangBigot: 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. |
| 274 | * TheComicallySerious: While most of the cast is this to a certain extent, he's especially notably due to being TheStoic. |
| 275 | * TheDreaded: 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 [[PetTheDog (at least at first)]] was because he could use Allah Gold to get Text How Big out of the way. |
| 276 | * EntendreFailure: 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. |
| 277 | * HatesEveryoneEqually: Including himself. |
| 278 | * KnightTemplar: He decides to kill The D rather than have him stand trial because he believes The D is so powerful he will pull a KarmaHoudini. This causes Allah Gold to turn to The D’s side and gets Text How Big killed. |
| 279 | * OddNameOut: 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. |
| 280 | * ProperlyParanoid: 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. |
| 281 | * SophisticatedAsHell: This gem, from ''Ghost The Threat''. |
| 282 | -->'''Text How Big:''' This will put pressure on alliances to [[UnusualEuphemism broaden the fuck confrontation.]] |
| 283 | * SpecialPersonNormalName: Is occasionally called 'Mike'. |
| 284 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: 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 [[FaceHeelTurn betrayed him, he would have won.]] |
| 285 | * WeHaveReserves: Averted. He specifies that only specific "troopseses" whom The Master Of is helping should be sent into battle, and not anyone else. |
| 286 | * WorthyOpponent: 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. |

| 294 | ->'''Voiced by:''' Tyler Mertes |
| 295 | ->'''Originally called:''' [[Characters/StarWarsGeneralGrievous General Grievous]] |
| 296 | |
| 297 | 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 [[AmbiguousSyntax either]] feeding them dog meat or feeding them to a dog. |
| 298 | ---- |
| 299 | * AdaptationalBadass: 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. |
| 300 | * AdaptationalNiceGuy: Space General is also consistently nicer to his underlings in this version, besides a one-off threat to [[AmbiguousSyntax 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. |
| 301 | * AffablyEvil: 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 AFatherToHisMen. |
| 302 | * AmbitionIsEvil: He may be motivated by this, as he may be plotting to betray the leaders of the Abruption Doctrine and seize power for himself. |
| 303 | * BenevolentBoss: He either threatens to feed dog meat to his troops, who are [[MechaMooks 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. |
| 304 | * BigStupidDoodooHead: 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." |
| 305 | * ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: A fallen Hopeless Situation Warrior planning to betray his new Abruption Doctrine allies for his own gain. Lampshaded by Text How Big. |
| 306 | -->'''Text How Big''': "He's very deceitful!" |
| 307 | * CrazyPrepared: 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. |
| 308 | * CutHisHeartOutWithASpoon: When Allah Gold and Ratio Tile escape, he orders his troopers to "batter to death them!" |
| 309 | * DivideAndConquer: According to Speaker D, his plan is to "splits up the Doctrine Alliance leads." |
| 310 | * DragonAscendant: Going by the above, he may be trying to do this. |
| 311 | * EatingMachine: His {{Mooks}} might be this. Unless you interpret that line as a threat to feed them to a dog. |
| 312 | * EvilIsHammy: Very much so. |
| 313 | -->'''BATTER TO DEATH THEM!''' |
| 314 | * AFatherToHisMen: Aside from a one-off threat to [[AmbiguousSyntax 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 [[HoldTheLine 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. |
| 315 | * ForgotAboutHisPowers: 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 FridgeBrilliance 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. |
| 316 | * ForgottenFriendNewFoe: He may have once served alongside Ratio Tile, as he reveals that he was once in the latter's "Hopeless Situation encampment." |
| 317 | * HeroicSacrifice: 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. |
| 318 | * KnowWhenToFoldEm: 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. |
| 319 | -->"Leave he! Run, quickly!" |
| 320 | * LargeHam: His voice actor clearly has a lot of fun with the role in the dubbed version. |
| 321 | * MinionWithAnFInEvil: More ''[[TheDragon Dragon]]'' with an F in [[{{Jerkass}} jackassery]], but he totally sucks at threats and insults: the best punishment he can think of for his troops is to feed them dog meat[[note]]Though that line could also be interpreted as him threatening to feed them ''to'' a dog.[[/note]] ([[AFatherToHisMen likely because he's so caring towards them normally]]), tells them to "batter to death them" three different times, and goes with [[BigStupidDoodooHead "smelly boy"]] when insulting Allah Gold. |
| 322 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: 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. |
| 323 | * OhCrap: When Ratio and Allah Gold get their weapons back, he immediately orders his [[EliteMook MagnaGuards]] to batter to death them, and when they go down he orders a hasty retreat for the rest of his forces. |
| 324 | * OldSoldier: Refers to himself as an "old man", but as he has an uber-powerful cyborg body, is fully capable of taking on Ratio Tile. |
| 325 | * OutOfCharacterMoment: Inverted, in a way. His first onscreen interaction with his troops is when, in a moment of frustration, he threatens to [[AmbiguousSyntax either]] feed them dog meat or feed them to a dog. The rest of the time, he's [[AFatherToHisMen far more concerned for them]]. |
| 326 | * PoliteVillainsRudeHeroes: In contrast to his original incarnation, Space General is surprisingly polite, especially compared to his pottymouthed nemesis Ratio Tile. |
| 327 | * TheStarscream: Apparently, he is this to the leaders of the Abruption Doctrine. |
| 328 | * VillainRespect: 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. |
| 329 | * WildCard: The D suggests that he is planning something against the leaders of the Abruption Doctrine, whom he is supposedly fighting for. |

| 381 | * AdaptationalDumbass: 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 [[FailedASpotCheck not noticed]] that she's nine months pregnant. |

| 387 | * LukeIAmYourFather: 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. |
| 388 | * {{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. |

| 417 | * {{Sexbot}}: With a name like [[AccidentalInnuendo "Blow the Skin"]], one has to wonder. It would also explain why [[{{Robosexual}} Senator]] was so eager to take her as his wife. |
| 418 | ** Though in ''The Novelty Desire'', [[SubvertedTrope she says that she "really [does] not know how to fuck."]] |
| 419 | ** The AmbiguousGender part is also possibly explained by this, since if (s)he was designed for pleasure, it is certainly possible that he comes with interchangeable... parts. It would be cheaper than producing unique models for both sexes. |
| 420 | * SirSwearsALot: Especially pronounced in ''The Novelty Desire''. |
| 421 | -->"We fuck, be die!" |
| 422 | * SomethingElseAlsoRises: Appears to be experiencing this after being activated for the first time. |
| 423 | -->"Body part I appeared? incredible! Oh!" |
| 424 | * TookALevelInJerkass: In ''The Counterattack Collection'', she just laughs off Leah when the latter worries about Gospel's life. |
| 425 | * YoungerAndHipper: She and R2 are apparently considered [[{{Pluralses}} "childses"]] according to Senator, whatever that means with robots. |

| 434 | ->'''Originally called:''' [[Characters/StarWarsCountDooku Count Dooku]] |
| 435 | |
| 436 | 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. |
| 437 | ---- |
| 438 | * AdaptationalJerkass: He is not much more evil than Dooku, but surely manages to be more savage and unstable. |
| 439 | * AxCrazy: 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. |
| 440 | * BloodKnight: 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. |
| 441 | * ButForMeItWasTuesday: 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. |
| 442 | ** Alternatively, it could suggest The was formerly in a relationship with Allah Gold. |
| 443 | * CassandraTruth: Despite outwardly declaring who his master is right to Allah Gold and Ratio Tile, the two ignore it as more of his crazed rambling. |
| 444 | * DeathSeeker: Ratio speculates that The was this, thus explaining his eagerness to fight especially strong opponents. |
| 445 | -->"The ever since that time willing to dies." |
| 446 | * DirtyOldMan: Like teacher, like student. He disguises his intention to sacrifice Allah Gold and Ratio Tile to his master with a DoubleEntendre. |
| 447 | * EstablishingCharacterMoment: Delivers one on behalf of the West, ensuring that the audience knows [[InterplayOfSexAndViolence what they're about]] with his first line. |
| 448 | -->"Pull out your sword. Dedicate the body for your Speaker." |
| 449 | * HumanSacrifice: He considers the act of killing Allah Gold and Ratio Tile a sacrifice to The D. |
| 450 | * ItsPersonal: 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. |
| 451 | * NoNonsenseNemesis: Tells Allah Gold that he'll cut him up rough. Of course, in the end, it's ''he'' who gets cut up. |
| 452 | * PreAsskickingOneLiner: "You are a sacrifice article that I cut up rough now." It backfires. |
| 453 | * PsychoSupporter: Has hints of this: he's so doggedly loyal to The D that he considers killing Allah Gold and Ratio Tile a [[LikeAGodToMe 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'' [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlived his usefulness]] and he could at last be rid of the lunatic. |
| 454 | * SpellMyNameWithAThe: This version of Count Dooku is possibly ''[[{{Pun}} 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). |
| 455 | * TokenEvilTeammate: To the Abruption Doctrine, as he displays none of the AdaptationalNiceGuy treatment that D and Space General got and [[EvilIsPetty 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. |
| 456 | * UnexplainedRecovery: According to the extended version of ''The Final Hopeless Situation'', he, somehow, survived his battle with Allah Gold and fled. |
| 457 | ** The fourth episode of ''The Mendelsohn'' also implies that Mendel may actually be The under his helmet. |
| 458 | * VillainRespect: 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. |
| 459 | * YouAreWhatYouHate: 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. |

| 469 | |
| 470 | 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 [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness outlives his usefulness]]. |
| 471 | ---- |
| 472 | * AdaptationalJerkass: 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. |
| 473 | * BadassBoast: "I do not know failure." |
| 474 | * CardCarryingVillain: He states that "invasion is my primary calendar." |
| 475 | * EmbarrassingNickname: "Nuts" Gunray isn't likely to strike fear into the heart of the enemy. |
| 476 | * MeaningfulName: A space warmonger named RayGun. Hard to be more explicit. |
| 477 | * MustHaveLotsOfFreeTime: The Plum Of implies that he is invading her home country out of ''boredom''. |
| 478 | * OneSteveLimit: Not to be confused with Rey, also known as Eyebrows/Swiss/Thunder. |
| 479 | * PresidentEvil: Very much so. |
| 480 | * TakeThat: An evil president named Ray Gun? [[UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan Hmmm...]] (Of course, the original character has been speculated to be a pisstake at Reagan (as well as Creator/NewtGingrich) ever since ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' came out, but it's never been quite ''this'' blatant.) |
| 481 | * UnderestimatingBadassery: 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. |

| 491 | |
| 492 | 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. [[MemeticMutation Is also famous for not wanting.]] |
| 493 | ---- |
| 494 | * [[BigNo Big "DO NOT WANT!"]]: Which is what he screams after being told that he killed The Plum Of in his exasperation. |
| 495 | * DefiantToTheEnd: Tells Ratio Tile that he'll ruin him even as he lies on the ground wincing in pain from potentally lethal injuries. |
| 496 | * EvilChef: 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''. |
| 497 | * IHaveManyNames: Combined with the many names he had as Allah Gold, Reaches has enough names to rival even Ratio Tile. |
| 498 | * IllKillYou: Manages to combine this with NeverSayDie when he screams that he'll ruin Ratio Tile. |
| 499 | * ImmediateSelfContradiction: His penchant for this back in his Allah Gold days continued under his new identity, as in this example from ''The Counterattack Collection''. |
| 500 | -->He can destroy the emperor. I think it's him. |
| 501 | * MaliciousMisnaming: Refers to Kunnic as a mere secretary to show how lowly he regards him. |
| 502 | * OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: 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. |
| 503 | * PulledFromYourDayOff: The Rebels just ''had'' to attack the Second Station Wagon during his first day of vacation. |
| 504 | * SincerestFormOfFlattery: Believes this. "If you are us, we will be honored." |
| 505 | * TheSlacker: When the Station Wagon plans can't be found aboard the ship at the start of ''WebVideo/TheNoveltyDesire'', 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. |
| 506 | * SurpriseIncest: He was previously in a relationship with Leah before he decided to torture her. Also a case of ParentalIncest. |
| 507 | * TotallyRadical: 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. |

| 511 | !!Reach The Man / Reaching the Man Cloth Space / The Emperor |
| 512 | ->'''Originally called:''' [[Characters/StarWarsTheSithOrder Darth Plagueis]] |
| 513 | |
| 514 | 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. |
| 515 | ---- |
| 516 | * AmbiguousSituation: R2 is sermingly named after him, but which connection they share is unknown. |
| 517 | * DeathSeeker: Might have engineered his own (temporary) death so he could sleep. |
| 518 | * TheEmperor: Is said to have held this title. Apparently The D inherited this title, as he is called the same way. |
| 519 | * EvilIsBigger: Speaker D said he was big. |
| 520 | * GaiasVengeance: |
| 521 | ** One possible interpretation of The D's claims that Reach the Man was killed by "his land", presumably due to him creating life. |
| 522 | ** It's also possible that it was precisely this experiment which gave his land sentiency in the first place, making it a case of TurnedAgainstTheirMasters. |
| 523 | * GeniusBruiser: He was a master of Original Dint who could weave life at his whim, and apparently also a big, strong dude as well. |
| 524 | * TheGhost: 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. |
| 525 | * TheInsomniac: He apparently had to be killed by his land before he could go to bed. Could also be an example of TheSleepless. |
| 526 | * MercyKill: Possibly. Speaker D claims that Reach the Man was killed by his land so he could go to bed. |
| 527 | * OrcusOnHisThrone: 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. |
| 528 | * RetiredBadass: 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. |
| 529 | * TheStrengthOfTenMen: D compares his Black Influence understanding to that of "Many Supermans". |
| 530 | * UnexplainedRecovery: 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 [[JustifiedTrope that he could "come back from the brink of death,"]] so nothing of this should be surprising. |

| 533 | [[folder:The Good Elephant]] |
| 534 | !!The Good Elephant |
| 535 | ->'''Originally called:''' Not in original film. |
| 536 | |
| 537 | 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. |
| 538 | ---- |
| 539 | * CanonForeigner: Introduced into the story thanks to a translation glitch in the subtitles.[[labelnote:Explanation]]The two simplified Chinese characters that make up the word "like" (好像) also translates independently as "good" (好) and "elephant" (像, which is normally a different character but sometimes considered the traditional version of the character for elephant, 象). Phrases such as "seems like" and "seems to be" are what keep getting turned into references to a righteous pachyderm--for example, "He seems to be alright" became "He big in nothing, important in Good Elephant." [[/labelnote]] |
| 540 | * DungFu: Seems to be skilled in this, probably for being an elephant and well, producing a lot of dung. |
| 541 | -->'''Allah Gold:''' The Good Elephant in airship dropped what things? |
| 542 | * FaceHeelTurn: He's mentioned in ''The Novelty Desire'' by Mr. Thoreau as working for the Empire. Although, [[PunchClockVillain he doesn't seem to have changed otherwise.]] |
| 543 | * TheGhost: Allah Gold, Ratio Tile and The D all talk about the Good Elephant, but we never actually see him. |
| 544 | * HonorableElephant: Very much regarded this way. |
| 545 | * WarElephants: With the twist of being involved in airship combat. |
| 546 | * YouKilledMyFather: After turning to the Dark World, Allah Gold suggests the Good Elephant caused his mother's death. |
| 547 | -->'''Allah Gold:''' I can't lose again. Your elephant loses my mother so. |
| 548 | ** Maybe he assigned the elephant to guard his mother, but he failed to protect her? |
