The Plot of Backstroke of the West:
The film begins in the middle of a war between the Abruption Doctrine and the Republic. The leader of the Abruption Doctrine's military, the cunning former Hopeless Situation Warrior Space General, has launched a daring attack to kidnap The D, Speaker and Prime Minister of the Republican National Legislature. The Republic dispatches two of its best Hopeless Situation Warriors to rescue The D: the foul-mouthed Ratio Tile, and his student Allah Gold, who is blamed for starting the war and is out to redeem himself.
They encounter The, a high-ranking big who is into human sacrifice. Gold kills him and rescue his teacher and The D, then return to Coruscant with the help of the Good Elephant, successful despite the escape of Space General. Meanwhile Spealer D, having experienced the war firsthand, is horrified by what he saw and decides to do everything in his power to end it. In his way is the Presbyterian Church, the leaders of the Hopeless Situation. Intent on creating less peace and more wars, the Church sees the threat The D poses and plots to bring him down.
The first step of this plan is sending Allah Gold to seduce Speaker D and know him at fuck. Meanwhile, The D sends a message to the leaders of the Abruption Doctrine, asking for a peace summit on Mustafar. Ratio Tile is also dispatched around this time to kill Space General on the planet Pimping Mainland.
Back on Coruscant Allah Gold's plan commences; however, The D sees right through Gold's bluff and uses his West powers to influence Gold to genuinely fall in love with him. After this, things proceed much as they did in the original movie, with Ratio Tile killing Space General and The D telling Allah Gold of the tragedy of Reach the Man and how he was killed by his land.
Eventually, it is time for the Presbyterian Church to activate their plan to overthrow The D, having deemed the information obtained from Allah Gold sufficient. The man sent to enact this plan, Text How Big, nearly succeeds — until Allah Gold saves Speaker D out of love. The D, realizing at this point that there is no other choice, orders the Dynasty to open fire and kill all of the Hopeless Situations, realizing that the war will not end while they still exist. He also orders Allah Gold, newly renamed as the South Host or Reaching the West of Reaches, to use his long peace abilities on the Abruption Doctrine leaders. The D also declares the creation of the Empire of the First Choice, realizing that a strong government is required to prevent a war like the one shown in the film from happening again.
The film goes the same way as the original after this, with the exception of The Plum Of dying from shame after finding out about Allah Gold's cuckoldry.
The D is not the student of Emperor Reaching The Man Cloth Space.
Ratio Tile was his student. Emperor Reach The Man has the power to "come back from the brink of death." There are several allusions to Ratio Tile having already died; Allah Gold asks him if he "made the ghost" and later tells him that his "dead period
arrived," in past tense. Space General also outright says that he died in a previous struggle, so he must have come back somehow. Perhaps the Emperor taught him how to use the Original Dint to come back if you are
incredibly on the hoof.
Basic doesn't translate very well into English. The dialogue in the official film is using a more sophisticated
Translation Convention which
takes liberties in order to make it coherent to English speakers.
Vanquish Is is a woman.
"His" voice is obviously female, nobody ever indicates otherwise, and it's not like you can tell just by looking. So... why not?
When he swore never to compromise to black, he was referring to the Black Influence. (Admittedly, it's funnier the other way.)
Senator had something to do with The Plum Of's death.
He specifically says "we have been hoping to get to keep the daughter", implying that he thought about adopting See long before he could possibly have known she would be up for adoption. He may have plotted to kill The Plum Of to ensure he would get a daughter. This may also contribute to why the medical droid couldn't explain why she was dying; Senator could have used some undetectable poison. Blow The Skin may even have been in on the plan, as she has far better access to The Plum Of throughout the movie, and Senator does say "we"...
Allah Gold and Ratio Tile codenames.
After his fall to the Dark World, Speaker D is the only one to refer to Allah Gold by that name; everyone else calls him The Peaceful Is Willing To, while Ratio Tile is now known as The Willing To Compares. One possibility is that the latter names "Willing To "are given to anyone who betrays the Hopeless Situation Warriors (The Peaceful Is), or are directly responsible for them (Compares.) Utterances of these names appear to convey not just the new name itself, but the entire fact that Gold has "become Dark World." Perhaps there is implied in the names hope of redemption to the Presbyterian Church, at which time they would be again granted their original names.
The Space General was never able to use the Wish Power.
The only reason he ever managed to successfully enter the Hopeless Situation Encampment was because he was able to fake it, hence the "very deceitful." Because of his skills with laser swords and deceitfulness, he never truly needed to use the Wish Power.
Afterwards, he was either exiled after the Hopeless Situation Parliament found out his lies, or, after he achieved whatever goals he set for himself, he escaped from it on his own. The second theory is more likely, because it fits more with his "can always succeed to succeed" description.
The Presbyterian Church is also a galactic mafia.
When Allah Gold says that he was just made by the Church, he isn't making some strange claim about being an
Artificial Human who was only just created moments ago (when he's clearly been in existence since at least the beginning of the film) and is functionally identical to a real human, to the extent of being able to father children. No, he's simply stating that he's just become a
made man
.
R2 has nothing to do with Reaching the Man Cloth Space.
When Ratio Tile says, "Like, Reach the Man, good good good" near the beginning of the movie, he’s not talking to R2 at all. He’s invoking Reach the Man's evil name in the same sense we say something is "good as Hell". This could tie into the theory that Ratio Tile was actually Reach the Man’s disciple — in this case, he would be invoking the name of his former teacher.
The hierarchy of the West.
There are a number of different titles for people who associated with the Dark World, so perhaps these represent where they are on the ladder:
- West Emperor: The leader of the Dark World.
- South Host: The second-in-command.
- Big: The rank-and-file officers.
