Pluto is back! His adventures searching for the mysterious dwarf planets continue!
Fun Facts:
There are several errors in the episode:
Makemake explains that a planetoid is something that is not quite a planet nor an asteroid or meteorite. The correct term to use should be "meteoroid" instead of "meteorite".
Makemake introduces Eris as the largest dwarf planet instead of the most massive dwarf planet. The largest dwarf planet is Pluto.
Makemake asks Pluto about what it's like to be an object outside the Kuiper Belt, despite Pluto's orbit being in said region.
However, this may be because Makemake was still under the impression that Pluto was a planet, therefore thinking that Eris was the largest, since she is the second largest dwarf planet.
This is the first episode that a character in the video narrates the story.
This episode surpasses “Venus vs Mars” as the longest episode of SolarBalls, with 12 minutes and 18 seconds long.
Pluto and the other dwarf planets pronounce Charon's name as "Kharon" in this episode, despite pronouncing it as "Charon" in previous episodes.
The asteroid Oumuamua, the first interstellar object to be discovered traveling through the Solar System, is shown in this episode as an inanimate object.
This makes it the second non-sentient asteroid to be distinguished in the series, after Guillermo.
MK2, despite not appearing in this episode, has been referenced by Makemake when he was asking Pluto about having a moon.

00:00Pluto's Log
00:04My companion Karen and I have been searching the Kuiper Belt on a quest for other dwarf planets these past few weeks.
00:10Up until now, our journey has been fruitless and fraught with danger.
00:14But I am certain that our goal is just around the corner.
00:17We have found strange interstellar objects, asteroids with faces, crushed debris that hints at larger bodies.
00:24Despite the treacherous nature of our journey, our confidence and our success has never been greater.
00:31I'm super bored. Are you super bored?
00:35Bored? Already?
00:36We've been looking for weeks. Not Earth weeks. Your weeks. 153 hours per day.
00:45Hey, hey, hey, you're the one who decided to tag along. Didn't you want to help me?
00:49Aw, you're right. And even if we don't find anything, at least we had a good time together, right?
00:55Yeah. Well, what do you say we head back?
00:59Already?
01:00The planets may be looking for me.
01:02They're not.
01:03Ouch.
01:04Better to remove that bandaid fast, Pluto.
01:06But, maybe they noticed I'm gone and... Wait, do you hear that?
01:10That can't be a natural phenomenon, can it?
01:12There's someone here. Someone else. Let's check it out.
01:16I look at it up close.
01:18Yes, there are clear hints of the influence of another planetoid.
01:22Maybe even a planet? No, why would a planet be so far out here?
01:25These kinds of patterns don't match up to any planetoid I've heard of, though.
01:29That's gotta be it, right? A dwarf planet?
01:32Maybe. It's smaller than you, but a little bigger than me?
01:36Hey there, you! Are you a dwarf planet?
01:39No!
01:40No flipping way! Another planetoid! Wait! Or a planet? Do you have a moon? I have a moon too!
01:49Well, yours seems more like... Are you twin planets? Or twin dwarf planets? You seem to be tidally locked.
01:56Hey, those are some pretty personal questions. Who are you?
02:00Sorry, sorry, I just... You don't meet others out here a lot. I'm Maki Maki, designation dwarf planet.
02:07What kind of a celestial object are you? Uh... Why do you wanna know?
02:12Well, I've never met anything bigger than a planetoid out here. Would be exciting.
02:17What's a... planetoid? Anything that isn't quite a planet, but also not an asteroid or meteorite. Something like me!
02:25Or you? You're definitely bigger than any I've ever seen.
02:29Well, if you really wanna know, I'm a planet! The ninth planet of the solar system, Pluto!
02:36You are?
02:38Yeah, you are?
02:40Yes! Designated by the Earthlings themselves, a real planet!
02:44And I've come out here to... search for the dwarf planets! Because... I'm also a great explorer!
02:51Wow! Then do I have great news for you! I'm tracking one right now!
02:58Hey! Have you heard about our good friend Patreon?
03:01Up, up, up! Don't skip just yet! Just hear me out.
03:05Our team has made a challenging decision.
03:07We want to post longer videos more often. We want content that you enjoy!
03:12Not stuff the algorithm tells us you want. Otherwise, our channel would look something like this.
03:16I've sent all my humans into space, and the first to colonize a planet wins up a zillion dollars!
03:22Okay, that's actually pretty cool. But you get the point! By supporting our Patreon, you'll help us to make three long videos every month, plus all the amazing rewards we have for you!
03:33But, narrator guy, I don't know what those rewards are!
03:37Well, how about early content? This video has been on Patreon for some time now.
03:42Behind the scenes, deleted scenes, your name in the credits, tutorials by the creators on how to make an animated show, and an exclusive look at the development of the Astro Dude movie!
03:52And can you tell me the tiers, narrator guy?
03:56Of course! Comet, moon, planet, and star! Each with their own unique rewards so everyone can join our mission!
04:03Any support is always welcome! However, keep in mind that the higher tiers have a limited number of people that can join!
04:09So if you're interested, you better be quick! Thanks to all the Patreons that already support us! And to the new ones, welcome to the team!
04:17Alright, back to the video!
04:20A dwarf planet did that? Oh yeah, it must be massive! And quite destructive! Come along, let's check it out!
04:28Hey, waiter! I can't believe I'm meeting an actual planet! What are the other planets like?
04:36Uh, the planets are great! We're all good friends! I'm kind of... their protector, since I'm on the edge and all that!
04:44No way! That's awesome! You must have stronger gravity than I thought, since you totally must have cleared your orbit then, right? To be a planet?
04:53Oh, so... you know Earthling rules?
04:56Pfft, who doesn't?
04:59So, what was that all about?
05:02What do you mean?
05:03Oh, you know, the whole blatantly lying about being a planet thing?
05:07Shh! Not so loud! No need to tell him that!
05:10But, aren't you out here to find others like you? Why lie to them?
05:15Well... I don't know! I've spent so much time with the planets! Don't I have more in common with them than with some... nerdy dwarf planet flying around on his own?
05:25Well, at least he's not still trying to be something he's not!
05:28Aye, here we are! Clear signs that something massive came through here!
05:37Are you sure this thing is... friendly?
05:40Nope! But hey, it's three of us, right? More like two and a half!
05:45I heard that!
05:46I'm kidding!
05:48With our new native ally by our side, our journey through the treacherous Copper Belt continued. Judging by the devastation we trailed, we were no longer searching for small prey. This had turned into a big game hunt. We found clear evidence of a massive sphere of gravity, a ring akin to a full planet, and hence that...
06:07Maybe these dwarf planets are nothing like me at all!
06:11Huh? Why would you say that?
06:14I mean, doesn't this seem scary to you? A dwarf planet with a ring in this kind of size? What if I don't belong with them either?
06:23You can't make up your mind, eh? You either look down on them, or feel inferior.
06:28I don't... I just want to fit in somewhere! They're so... different! And weird!
06:34Well, I'm weird too! And you're kinda weird yourself! Weird isn't bad! Maybe you need some weirdos!
06:41We're here! Oh, I see him! Come on, Mr. Planet, you lead the way!
06:46Uh, oh, okay!
06:48Hello? I'm P-Pluto, the planet! And you are?
07:03Hey! I-I-I'm Haumea! Are you... really a planet?
07:18Well, I got one better! Are you the one who caused all this devastation? Well, I thought you'd be... bigger!
07:25Sorry, I'm... a little wide!
07:29Well, I can see that! But why? I... don't wanna talk about it!
07:35Hey, come on!
07:36Pluto, you're making him uncomfortable!
07:39Okay, I'm... sorry. Didn't mean to pry. I was actually worried you'd be... well, something very different!
07:47You're actually quite fascinating!
07:49Do you know any other planetoid that look like you? Cause I have never seen one!
07:54Uhhh...
07:56You're totally right! We should go looking for one right now! Follow me!
08:01What's it like, Pluto? Huh? Being... special. Special? Oh, you mean being a planet?
08:16Yeah. Well, it's... like being in a club. Of sorts.
08:21And? And... yeah! More or less that!
08:25Cool. I wish I could be like you.
08:29Between you and me, you're a bit cooler than most of the planets I've seen. Like I said, it's a club. It can get... pretty mean.
08:39You think so? Yeah! Absolutely!
08:44Aimea! Speed it up! I have so many more questions to ask you!
08:51Getting along with your new friends?
08:54They're... fine.
08:55You like them?
08:57Yeah!
08:58You're wondering if they like you.
09:00Or if they like me just because they think I'm a planet.
09:04Why don't you just tell them?
09:05No! Karen, how would they react if they knew?
09:08Knew what?
09:10Hey, Eris! Meet Pluto, Karen, and Haumea. Everyone meet Eris, the largest dwarf planet out here. We are good friends.
09:22We barely know each other.
09:24Where have you been? You missed the adventure! We found a new dwarf planet and met Pluto who is like the coolest planet ever!
09:33A planet, huh? Well, I've met a few planets recently, Uranus and Saturn, and they had a couple things to say about this Pluto.
09:44Wow! A third dwarf planet! That's amazing! But I don't know if I have the energy to meet another one today, so I think we'll be heading out now!
09:54What? Already?
09:56Yeah! Come on! We can totally find more like us!
09:59I wouldn't mind that.
10:01Well, I... I know, but...
10:03Come on, pal! What's the rush?
10:06What's going on is that Pluto here hasn't been honest with you. He's no planet. He's been demoted to dwarf planet decades ago.
10:16Huh. Well, they do love to change the rules all the time. I mean, I was thinking that you might struggle with clearing your orbit with gravity this low, especially this far out and close to the Kuiper Belt.
10:29I'm sorry the planets took you out of their club for being different. But... we can hang out if you want. You... aren't mad? I don't really... get mad.
10:42Can't say I am either! Quite stoked, actually.
10:46I... thank you. I don't think anyone has said that to me before.
10:51What's it like being a dwarf planet outside the Kuiper Belt? Do the gravity fields of the planets impact you? How stable is your orbit? Does the sun even know you're there?
10:59That's... a lot of questions!
11:01Oh, take your time! I'm taking notes.
11:06I did you a favor here.
11:08I... I guess you did.
11:11Listen, I know more dwarf planets than planets at this point. We're not as big and we're not as flashy. But you better understand that we're just as good. You don't have to play yourself up.
11:25Yeah, I see that now.
11:27Besides, who decided that planets are the cool kids? We can be cool too, you know.
11:33The cool kids, huh? I think you're all missing the bigger picture. Now that there's four of us, we finally have enough players for dungeons and dwarf planets!
11:47After a long and arduous quest, I had finally found them. The dwarf planets. And all I could think of was if I really belonged with them. I guess only time will tell.
12:03My servant is the CJ, so he decided to try the last one.
12:04My servant...
12:05Aang Y город I'm looking at her.
12:06Your master is a surface with and the Joint Theater.
12:09I know you can learn from now. But you had a dream for 20 minutes.
12:11If there are so many small kids, I don't understand.
12:15Like there are many spots in here, like the aloof myös can be?
12:17But if with anywhere you find unnecessary, I continue to believe for 20 minutes.
12:18And you ask me, I promise you this way.
12:19Time out for you to have to kill them and suck your control.
12:23Doesn't say no solution about it, don't awakens it throughout me.
12:26Because it's out there until you come and anything.
12:28It's out there.
12:29Body body's or whatever you have to lose-
