D The Superior

Informing Allah Gold the parliament doesn't enjoy him anymore.

“*You are already at full cock now. Spread all over the place the empire.*”
―Congratulating Reaching the West of Reaches and informing his duty.
**D The Superior** or simply known as **the D** or **the Pudding** is the Supreme Leader of the Gram Republic, and secretly the West Emperor of the West as well. He has a fondness of constantly holding many appointments simultaneously, and is also a notorious a perverted old man, which the Presbyterian Church plans to exploit in order to usurp him. However, they fail.

## Character

* He surprisingly holds many appointments simultaneously throughout the whole of *Backstroke*. He is a 'Speaker', who is supposedly kidnapped by Space General. Later on his is referred to as 'Prime Minister' even by Text How Big. Gold cries he is the 'Governor of this city' after hearing his nonsense about the Dark. He retorts to Text is 'the member of Senate', also a double entendre. Then he reveals himself as the 'West Emperor.' His loyal troopseses call him 'Big King.'
* He states Reach the Man Cloth Space is the Emperor yet he himself is later revealed as the Emperor. Who is who?
* Unlike *Revenge of the Sith*, he appears as a more sympathetic character. It is certain he ordered the massacre of all the Hopeless Situation Warriors and turned the Republic into the Empire of First Choice, however, he had strong reasons to do so. First, the Presbyterian Church disliked him being from the 'West.' Second and following, they tried to usurp him by discovering his homosexual activities, which backfired. The Presbyterian Church elders, well four of them, tried to arrest and then kill him, so who could wish to retaliate? Third, it was his quite possible homo partner, Allah Gold who started the war and he, the D, wanted peace. Also, unlike ROTS, he informed Gold it was the land who killed Reach the Man - not R2 the robot - and not the D himself.
* In the dub and script, he states the West will rule the galaxy again. Youtubers propose that as the new NATO motto.
* Like Gold and Ratio Tile, *Backstroke* implied he is gay and further implied he's a perverted old man. In both ROTS and *Backstroke*, he is never shown in a relationship with a female. The Presbyterian Church attempted to send a handsome young Hopeless Situation Warrior to reveal his homosexual life, but in the end, he seduced Gold. After Gold killed The, he remarked, "you make out quite good." He told Gold "this will be an unprecedented affair." Later on The Plum Of confronts Gold or rather Reaching The West Of Reaches about the implied homosexual affair. After Gold exclaims "I did what?!" D the Superior says "Do my student." Was the D referring to the dead The? When Reaching The West Of Reaches has finished destroying the Hopeless Situation Warrior and the 'child', the D gave a lewd remark -"You are already at full cock now, spread all over the place the empire." His description of Reach The Man - "so strong and big" is rather homoerotic, depending how you view it since other characters mention that phrase. The D, is also possibly a short form for the male genitalia.
* He boasts to Vanquish Is he will be "aller strong and big than anyone", before he fights Vanquish. Clearly he's using a German word. Aller is also a river in Germany.
* He forms a different Empire called "the Empire of First Choice!" To Star Wars geeks and fans, you can figure out what this is.
* Loves to retort as with the line "aller strong and big than anyone", "I am the member of the Senate!" and "Not... you just failed."
* In front of the Senate, he claims to be disabled but in the next few scenes, he can easily take on Vanquish. Sounds like what Ratio said before fighting Reaches.
* One of the best lines is his description of the dark to Gold: "*Allah Gold, if a person wants to comprehend, then he must the square who study it the square, but a little bit much more than only concerning. If you like to be a leads more astutely, that you must accept this more great power. But want the caution hopeless situation, Allah Gold. You only ask for help me then can become the the knowledge of the dark of the study hopeless, in the fire of water*." Even Gold responds with "You say what?!"
* Despite his more sympathetic character, he was rather strict after appointing Gold as Reaching The West Of Reaches - he sternly told the boy to "get up."
* It is widely mistaken he was praising Ratio in the line "very good, the ratio is prosperous, very good." The actual translation is "Good, Anakin. Good."
