## Plot

### Cold Open (2019 Cut)

Ramen, Max and Ronald are sat on a trio of wonky pedestals, with Max in the middle of reading Ryan's Book. Max points out that the book is completely nonsensical, and Ramen, who has first hand experience with Ryan's literature, questions why he thought it would make sense in the first place. Ronald eventually cracks, stating he's tired of sitting around doing nothing, missing the good old days of riding river rapids and drinking bleach. Ronald then has an idea for what the trio can do, and instructs them to follow him. Concerned with his friend's plans, Ramen asks what Ronald has in mind, but is told to shut up and watch. Ronald instructs TV to revive Hitler, which worries Ramen, who states that Hitler has done a lot of bad things, but Ronaldvnonchalantly says "too late" before Hitler is brought back to the land of the living.

Max is intrigued, having never met Hitler in real life. Max learns to never meet your heroes, as Hitler smacks him and charges through Ramen and Ronald. We cut to Avi playing with his Avster Bros plushies, making himself out to be some sort of macho strongman being congratulated by a little girl, who is probably 11 years old. Hitler walks up to Avi, and a single casual "nein" makes him scream like a little girl. Cue intro.

#### Fortnite Monopoly. Laugh.

We pan over to Elijah, who's playing Fortnite Monopoly with Ronald's Drawing of a Jew, Bout Puke and Slave Master Ducky. RDoaJ announces that he has bingo, but Slave Master Ducky corrects him and calls him an idiot, with Bout Puke agreeing. RDoaJ get pissed, and Bout Puke barely has time to double down before Slave Master Ducky claims they both suck at the game. Bout Puke gets up close and personal to the duck, who pulls out a gun to make the robot back off. Bout Puke believes that Slave Master Ducky doesn't know how to fire a gun, and he'd at least be correct in that assumption because SMD just ends up whacking him with the gun. This leaves Bout Puke with a cracked screen (which you should probably get used to), which RDoaJ believes to be bad sportsmanship. SMD then smacks him too, giving him various indents. Bout Puke angrily tells Slave Master Ducky he should be disqualified, and RDoaJ says he'll "make him wish [SMD] was disqualified when he was done with him", leading to a scuffle between the three. Elijah eventually manages to break up the kerfuffle when he points out that all three of them landed on Tilted Towers, a property he owns, meaning Elijah has earned all of their money and won the game. The three express good sportsmanship to Elijah, stating it was a good game. Elijah then realises this is the first time he's gotten through a game of Monopoly without somebody flipping the board over, and Hitler scrolls in, flips the board and charges through RDoJ.

#### Cool Cat Stops the Nazis: Coming 2024.

Elijah is reacting surprisingly happily to the return of a guy who's caused a genocide of his people, when Ramen hops by and asks if he's seen Hitler anywhere. Elijah confirms so, and asks Ramen if he brought him back. Ramen denies responsibily, and brings up the culprit Ronald, who still believes he's not made a bad decision today. Elijah continues to doubt the danger Hitler puts people in, but Cool Cat charges out of nowhere to give a hearty list: He's bullying recommended jews, he's not paying his taxes, and he's even jaywalking, though a Toyota Prius puts that last one to bed pretty quickly. Cool Cat eventually gets the idea to get help from the rejects, with his first thought being his father, Daddy Derek. Upon Daddy Derek's freeing from TV, Cool Cat explains the situation, gesturing over to Hitler, who's corrupting the recommended characters with the evilest game of "I say hey, you say ho" in recorded history. Daddy Derek remembers going to high school with Hitler, but before we can get a fun-filled flashback to the struggles of prom night or whatever, Derek's already attempting to talk Hitler down. Pencil Pusseh intervenes, telling Hitler that he's his hero, and even gets him to sign his swastika. After this, Hitler wanders over to Avi again, who doesn't even recognise who he is until Elijah clarifies that "he's the angry guy who hates all the Jews". Momsterbone arrives to tell Hitler to back off from her son, while simultaneously offering up the lesser one (Avi). Cool Cat racks his brain for anybody else who could stop Hitler, eventually remembering Communist Bowser and the last time he went against Hitler. TV cannot free him however, as he was freed back in This is in Dubai. When asked about his current location, we just get a cut to his Communist Empire on the Moon. Running low on options, Cool Cat decides on Maidvelia, since she tends to know what to do, apparently. Upon being freed, Maidvelia and Cool Cat see Hitler shaking and charging up some kind of meter UI, most likely to kill the Rachlin family. However, Maidvelia doubts she can do much, as Blue Shell was her muscle before he died. TV, getting the memo, revives Blue Shell. Maidvelia is absolutely joyous to have her best (only) friend back, but Cool Cat insists that Blue Shell has to be thrown at Hitler. This ends up creating a word-for-word swap of the interaction CC and Maidvelia had in Winner Takes All, where Maidvelia is now trying to preserve Blue Shell after so much time without him, and Cool Cat insisting that he needs to be sacrificed for the the greater good of everybody else. Edgy Spaghetti gets tired of all this trolley-problem morality, and just throws Blue Shell himself. Hitler starts making computer noises, and his meter ends up crashing, causing him to fall over, inadvertently dodging Blue Shell and getting Avi, Elijah and Momsterbone killed. Upon rebooting, Hitler sees the jews defeated and does a happy dance.

### Loser Who Got The Most Votes Gets Kicked Off of The Show Time

TV recovers Momsterbone and Elijah in the middle pedestals, right among the rest of their team. The pedestals actually seem to be working for once, at least until they start sagging downwards and Azoko is launched upwards by his, and LGR gets knocked over once it tilts. George, upon noticing Team Bone, cuts to chase: Pencil Pusseh is eliminated. George is clearly in a bad mood, and Pencil Pusseh refusing to leave when told to does not help, resulting in the latter getting a Bill Blaster thrown at him. Confused, LGR asks George why he's sulking, as he lacks the usual "pizzazz" an elimination should carry. George goes on to explain that he had pizzazz an HOUR ago, back when the elimination was SUPPOSED to start, but it was left to die when everybody was preoccupied with Hitler. To pass the time, George went through multiple copies of Ryan's book to make paper boats to pass the time, and ended up making way more paper boats than many will in their lifetime. This hour of neglect and origami has left George with no energy for the elimination. TV sides with LGR however, saying that without a proper elimination, the show will lose viewership, something George despises. George eventually concedes, and does a proper (albeit fast) elimination: he announces the new record of 316 votes, gives out copies, Ryan's Book as prizes, Azoko, Ramen, Edgy Spaghetti, LGR, Mordechai and Elijah are safe in that order, Momsterbone and Pencil Pusseh give out potential final words, George shows off some art, and Pencil Pusseh is announced to be eliminated with a record of 73 votes, is sent to the Freedom! Dungeon, and George tells Team Bone to be more punctual next time before storming off.

#### One Freedom! Shirt to rule them all

Steve is seen standing with a now pixelated Freedom! Shirt, until Wizz Wizz holds him at ketchuppoint for the shirt. Steve whips out an enchanted Diamond Sword, but is knocked out cold by Waluigi, who is then ketchup'd by Wizz Wizz, who are both THEN knocked out by Nany via Wii Remote, who THEN eaten by Ronald while trying to get away. Caught up? Good, so is Cool Cat, who's horrified at what his team has become. Cool Cat confronts his teammates (aside from the dead Nany, who's loyalty to Team WAH will surely not be weakened because of this) about how they've lost sight of themselves and are ripping eachother to shreds over a stupid shirt. Waluigi is the first to come to his senses and agrees, and Steve suggests they destroy it, only to waste a perfectly good enchanted diamond sword when it shatters on contact with the shirt. Wizz Wizz tells Steve that the shirt is completely indestructible, so Team WAH opts to transfer the curse to someone else.

Shortly after, Nany and Avi are recovered, with Nany acting as a pseudo landing pad for the fat boy. When Avi greets his team, Waluigi discloses that they have some bad news. Waluigi goes onto to explain that the "Team WAH Corporation" needs to pay their "workers" a salary, but somebody's stolen their funds, resulting in them needing to let a few people go. Ronald cuts to chase and tells Avi they're getting rid of him because he sucks. Avi is heartbroken and starts begging for his job, as he's so lost in the Team WAH Corp bit that he genuinely thinks he has a wife & three kids to feed. Waluigi then tells him that they'll be compensating his "firing" with his very own Freedom! Shirt. Avi is utterly stunned, and laughs at Team WAH as he waddles (and trips) away. Wizz Wizz is still disappointed that the Freedom! Shirt was wasted on somebody like Avi, but Cool Cat assures him that they did the right thing.

# The Nineth Episode (The 9th One)

"Nothing happened. Don't worry." -The episode's description.

**The Nineth Episode (The 9th One)** was the initial title of the reupload of the 9th episode of Freedom! Island Deluxe, after it was initially taken down for depictions of Nazi imagry (Pencil Pusseh's signed swastika, footage of Hitler rallying a crowd, Hitler's name being said in the first 30 seconds, etc). The reupload also takes the opportunity to somewhat alter a few scenes, which will be listed below.

### Cold Open (2023 Cut)

LGR and Edgy Spaghetti are sat together on a pair of wonky pedestals, with LGR engrossed in reading Ryan's Book. LGR points out how little of the book makes sense, and Edgy Spaghetti, who has first hand experience with Ryan's literature, questions why he thought it would make sense in the first place. Ronald pops out of nowhere, laughing at the two for sitting around doing nothing, reminiscing on the good old days of riding river rapids and drinking bleach. Edgy Spaghetti were one-note recommended characters back then and neither have any recollection of it, but Ronald has an idea and instructs the duo to follow him. Ronald runs into Ramen and his brother Max, who is also reading Ryan's Book, by TV, and the two greet eachother. Concerned with Ronald's plans, LGR questions what Ronald has in mind, but is told to shut up and watch. Ronald instructs TV to revive his boy "Adolf" (called by his first name to preserve monetisation), which angers Ramen, who states that Hitler has done a whole lot of terrible stuff, but Ronald nonchalantly says "too late" before Hitler is brought back to the land of the living.

Edgy Spaghetti is interested, having never met Adolf in real life. Ramen is taught to never get too close, as Hitler smacks him and charges through Edgy Spaghetti and Ronald. We cut to Avi playing with his Avster Bros plushies, making himself out to be some sort of macho strongman being congratulated by a little girl, who is probably 11 years old. Hitler walks up to Avi, and a single casual "nein" makes him scream like a little girl. Cue intro. Note that every line here up until the intro was completely rerecorded.

#### List of minor differences beyond the cold open

* Instead of using a clip of the real Hitler rallying the crowd of recommended characters, Hitler uses a crude drawing of himself and Avi to show off his views to the crowd, encouraging booing when holding up the Avi art and cheering when holding up the Hitler art.
* Pencil Pusseh asks for an autograph instead of explicitly stating he wants his swastika signed, and has a copy of Hitler's book Mein Kampf signed instead. It changes back to the original swastika during LWGTMVGKOOTST, however.
* The red stamp Hitler sees after the death of the Rachlins says "Mission Accomplished" instead of "Jews Destroyed".
