Restoration and Revanchism

Restoration and Revanchism was the name of an arc in Boo's Pizza II. It features the proclamation of the Koopa Empire following Mart's death and Ludwig von Koopa's ascension to the throne, and Frederick Kooploz becoming a puppet leader in the form of the Minister-Presidency. It also introduces the East Indigo Underground Company as a new Empire-backed subsidiary of Kooploz Enterprises.

R&R would be subverted by The Nightmare Fleet, during which the arc was anticlimactically concluded partially offscreen with Ludwig sent to an insane asylum and the exiled Bowser retaking the throne. Immediately thereafter, Kooploz and Rifley stage a coup, further delaying The Millionaire's Secret.
