My friends,
It is with a heavy heart that I must bring you terrible news. What was meant to be a night of joy turned into a nightmare of immense magnitude. Kaiju Big Battel: More Better Fighto occurred last Friday at the Warsaw in Brooklyn. It was rumored that Pedro had put a hit out on Silver Potato. Pedro is one of the most awesome plantains that I have ever met. I didn’t think there was any way he would commit such an act.
However, during the match of Silver Potato vs Super Wrong, the Iron Brothers stepped into the ring, bagged potato, and left the scene after being given a large bag of cash from Pedro.
A video of the event may be seen here:

After a match or two, we were presented with a live feed from the alleyway behind the Warsaw:

I was horrified. I had to cling to my wife in order to stabilize myself. My only potato hero, gone forever. To think that this would be the last photo I’d ever be able to take of Silver Potato:
How could things have turned out like this? One of the greatest heroes in Kaiju history betrays his friends, Kills Pablo Plantain, joins Dr. Cube, and meets his end like this. At first, I was convinced that Potato had not actually turned evil. Maybe he didn’t actually kill Pablo, he just took the heat for it so he could pretend to be a bad guy. That way, he could get close to Dr. Cube and finish him once and for all. If he was truly still a good guy, his death is all the more tragic.
After that night, I could no longer believe this was the case. His break dancing was too bad. His actions too cruel. That wasn’t the potato I knew and loved. This leaves two options. Either it wasn’t the real Silver Potato, or his personality was completely rewritten by Dr. Cube.
I’d love to hold out and believe that it wasn’t Potato. I want to cling to any hope that maybe he will return. However, simply creating a Silver Potato impostor and ruining Potato’s reputation isn’t cruel enough for Dr. Cube. A much crueler act would be to completely brainwash the real Silver Potato. Take the best hero ever, make him become a villain, betray his friends, and become loathed by all. Then let him die in such a state, with no hope of redemption. That sounds just sick enough to come from the mind of the loathsome Dr. Cube.
I’d love to believe that maybe Potato is still alive somewhere, but if he’s not, how long do I hold out for? If I hold back the emotions I have right now, once I finally come to the conclusion that he’s never coming back, there might not be any of the sorrow left in me. So while I hope he’s still out there somewhere, I will mourn his death now while the emotions are still there and completely intact. You will be missed,
Sing it with me one last time:

Bells of love chime in a dream
piercing the darkness of the night.
Come on, please peel me now.
Bells of love chime in a dream
piercing the darkness of the night.
Come on, please peel me now.
Silver Potato.
Don’t worry, look at me straight.
Silver Potato.
All I can see is you
Not any potatoes,
but you’re the only one
the best potato in the world
Let’s fly to mars together
but you are too bright
We fall leaving shiny reflections
Bells of love chime in a dream
piercing the darkness of the night
Come on, please peel me now
Bells of love chime in a dream
piercing the darkness of the night
Come on, please peel me now
I’ll never forget my only potato hero
Silver Potato
always win a losing game
jump even higher
Silver Potato
Please be strong
always win a losing game
and take your precious me with you
Not any potatoes
but you’re the only one I love
my Baron Potato*
*baron potato is a type of potato which is harvested mainly Hokkaido, Japan. Much like the Yukon Gold here. Baron potato roughly translates to Gentleman Potato.
As for Pedro, How could I truly hold this against my plantain pal? Look at that big grin on his face
If there was no hope for potato rehabilitation, Pedro stopped Potato’s previous reputation from being scarred any further. Pedro, just remember, Dr. Cube was the mastermind behind all of this. If there’s anyone left to direct your anger towards, he would be the one.
Sincerely, Queep

It is indeed a tragedy. I loved the silver Potato, the fact that Super wrong out danced him just shows you that it was’nt really him. though i’m surprised on the events of his death. why would the zombie in the end kill him? Did’nt Dr Cube have it under his control? Where was Dr Cube during this happening? Did Pedro let his zombified brother feast on him inteionaly? But alas there is nothing to be done. Wether he was evil or good he will be missed. Rest in peace Silver Potato. This Spud’s for you!
