Synopsis
The Japanese are on a mad-hunt to kill all the world’s dolphins and whales. Stan and his family are spending his birthday at the Denver Aquarium where they will get to swim with the dolphins.

Stan takes on the cause to save the dolphins from the Japanese.

Plot
The Marsh family are spending Stan's birthday at the Denver Aquarium. Stan and other guests are looking at the dolphins. The guide, Chad, introduces the dolphins: Trigger, Dolly, and Bubbles. Chad then asks if anyone wants a kiss from the dolphins. Randy idiotically and immaturely rushes up eagerly to get a kiss from the dolphins. Chad gets ready to instruct Randy, when the Japanese arrive. The Japanese people appear from out of nowhere and kill all the dolphins. The scene is very bloody, as the Japanese mercilessly stab the dolphins until their brains and organs come out. Stan and the other visitors are shocked at the event and a little girl starts to cry.

At the Atlanta Zoo, a guide is teaching a crowd about beluga whales when the Japanese attack and bloodily kill the whales too. In the Baltimore Aquarium, a dolphin show is commencing, when the Japanese attack and kill the dolphins. An Orca whale is seen, most likely at Seaworld, as the trainer tells a girl to spread her arms so the Orca can do something, when a Japanese man with a spear runs up, yells "Fucka you, Whale!" and mercilessly stabs the whale in its melon. The girl and the trainer freak out. The Miami Dolphins and the Kansas City Chiefs are playing at Dolphin Stadium when, the Japanese attack and kill the Miami Dolphins. And boy, is Fox pissed. The Six Flags Discovery Kingdom Orcas and dolphins are killed too. A news report reports what the Japanese Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama had to say about it, which was him yelling "FUCKA YOU WHALE! AND FUCKA YOU DOLPHINS!", as he raises both of his middle fingers.

Randy comes up to Stan's room and tries to console him on what the Japanese did. Stan asks his father why they did that. Randy answers that the Japanese are not normal people and they don't like dolphins like them, the "normal" people. Randy tries to reassure him by reminding him that he has t-shirt that reads "I Swam With The Dolphins" despite the fact that it is dolphin blood-stained. He also has his picture of him frowning with a dead belly-up dolphin, the frame reading " My New Best Friend!".

Stan visits Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny playing Rock Band, when Stan confronts them over the Japanese killing the whales and dolphins. Kyle states that the Japanese have done that for a long time. Cartman and Kenny don't care and Kyle claims that he hates it but accepts it. Stan retorts back that people have always said that excuse and no wants to do anything about it. Cartman replies that he is not busy, he and Kenny don't give two shits about saving the whales and dolphins. Stan claims that when all the whales and dolphins are gone, they will wish that they did something. Cartman, Kyle, and Kenny look at each other, then resume playing Rock Band. Butters later visits Stan in his room and tells him about Whale Wars (Butters can't do anything because he has stuff to do). Stan is ecstatic and joins.

The Whale Wars crew are seen claiming that they are "badass". The Whale Wars ship drive up to a Japanese whaling ship and wonders what they will do. Paul Watson suggests them going on the whaling ship and beating themselves up and going back to the ship and claim that the Japanese did it. A crew member starts as the female memeber says "Oh, NO! Luke's been hurt saving whales!". Then Watson suggests shooting him and claiming the Japanese did it to raise international crisis. Stan is pissed and claims that no one should lie. So the crew throws stinky butter on their ship as Stan suggests more violent matters. Watson is shot by a harpoon gun. Stan grabs a flare gun and sinks the ship. Stan thus becomes the captain of Whale Wars. Entertainment Weekly has a front-page article of Whale Wars claiming that "Things Actually Happen NOW!" and "WHALE WARS GETS BETTER!". The crew of Sea Shepard are then seen employing more violent methods of stopping the Japanese (Cartman sings "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga in the background).
