Wanna know a Fun fact about Fecto Elfilis? The name of it's big meteor attack is called "the Fermi paradox's answer". Yes i'm serious, it's literally the name of the attack. The Fermi paradox consists of the question "if life is so easy, why haven't aliens tried making contact with us yet?". Well now we know why aliens haven't made contact with us Fecto Elfilis killed them all.
I love how Elfilis does the classic villain trope of holding his opponent up by the neck, but since Kirby doesn’t have a neck he just kinda squishes his cheeks.
i think my favorite line in this song is a very subtle one. "still you fight, you yearn for home, even when you're all alone?" elfilis says this after kirby rescues elfilin, meaning that kirby isn't alone, but elfilis thinks he is because he doesn't see elfilin as their own person, just an extension of his own self that broke loose. this is also nailed in by fecto forgo's "GIVE IT BACK" line in hunted by the beast. "it" being the keyword. elfilin is not a person in elfilis's eyes, just a missing piece of himself. i love this cover so much
@@paulsander5579 this makes him sound like a littel child that has lost in a game 10 times in a row i think that elfilin got the mature and good part of fecto elfilis
“…so be it. Let them dig your grave in a forgotten land where NONE SHALL REMEMBER YOU!” That is a TERRIFYING quote, and one I can totally hear Elfilis say if it had in-game dialogue
@@thewhitewolf6715 Axiom means a statement that is regarded as being established, accepted or self-evidently true. As this line comes after "servitude to that which could conquer the stars" it is basically Fecto Elfilis proclaiming itself as an absolute, something no one can or should fight against in its conquest.
@@themustardman219 Ah! Thank you! I really really love that line. I find axiom to be a cool word and the way Steele sings it (and Fecto Elfilis’s wings spread out is an angelic sight) is incredible. I was curious what it meant though. Thank you for explaining it to me!
I love how at 2:30 it’s like “please just stop I’ll give you a painless death” like, that’s Kirby’s friend speaking. Not the manic, genocidal bloodlusting god. At least trying to.
2:13 This is one of the parts of Roche Limit I was most excited to see you adapt, this is the part where Hirokazu Ando thought "Ever heard a final boss theme interrupt itself with a slap bass solo jumpscare" and just popped OFF, making this song even more erratic I know I already said some of this, but the long wait for this cover really was worth it, Roche Limit is a harder to follow song than Ando's other works, and I don't blame you for taking time to figure out how to possibly turn this into a singable song
I was also curious to see how that part would be adapted. It's so unique and seems like it could've been hard to work around with it's more erratic nature. I must say, what was done here is probably one of my favourite parts of the song with the snappiness of going from one line to the next and each lines delivery *especially* with headphones.
@mangotheneko4963 probably longer than that, that was just how long before the warp experiment that seperated him. Actually by that logic the audio would have been recorded _after_ that. So it would have been an indeterminate amount of time between that incident and everybody on the planet packing up and leaving altogether.
I noticed that myself! The part where he says “Give in, acquiesce…” sounds like it’s Elfilin crying out from the depths of Fecto Elfilis’ soul. Like Elfilin trying to rebel and calm Fecto Elfilis down, but Fecto Elfilis won’t let him.
I love how Fecto Elfilis' voice echoes and distorts. As if speaking to you through your mind and trying to mess with you, to discourage or control you, and make you bend to it's will so it could destroy you. The way "None shall remember you" echoes through your ears is haunting, as if it's speaking to you telepathically and it's an inescapable noise to accompany your demise. In addition, I love the personality given to Fecto Elfilis in this video! It's as if it's a self-righteous god of war who views themself as such. It once did what it did out of necessity, like a deranged killer or a deadly storm with no remorse or reason. But now it has a reason to really let loose and unleash its rage upon those who ruined it! Being trapped and broken for decades, it's gone mad with thoughts of revenge and the constant droning of an intercom speaking, "And here we are!" that kept playing as if it were some sort of attraction to be gawked at morbidly rather than a living creature. Now that it's free, it wants nothing more than to rend reality asunder!
5:58 I really love this whole section leading up to 7:12 . It's like Fecto is currently actively getting winded and overwhelmed as he sings, he starts singing softly like he's recovering from a heavy blow, then you can hear the frustration and spite in his "VERY WELL!" cause he is so DONE with this pink puffball that is somehow laying him low, and decided to pull a Freeza and nuke EVERYTHING as a instafix. Then after, he is singing softly again because this is actually taking A LOT out of him, his other half is gone again, and he is actively falling apart, melting. But he is building up again as he sings because he SEES KIRBY COMING FOR HIM, so he is doing everything within his power to keep this pink nightmare away before he finally reaches his breaking point with "YOU SHALL PERISH TOO, IN THIS NEW WORLD!" . Then he goes back to singing softly, because that was it. His final stand and if that didn't end it, he had nothing more...but he is stubborn, and we all know he turns up again... a bit more chaotic.
I mentioned this in the original video, but I really love the manic edge added to Elfilis' voice. That and the echoing psychic words helps highlight how they are one of more unhinged villains in the series and how their imprisonment in the forgotten land made them even worse. But unlike instances like Sectonia or Haltmann, their wickedness is all of their own accord; they were a world conquering asshole long before the game.
5:25 has got to be my favorite part of this cover. The rage in Fecto Elfilis' voice when he says "Look me in the eye!" Steel did that part so beautifully, just... wow-- I-- I can't-- *disappears into the void while screaming*
Steel's voice radiates a surprising amount of calm while singing which honestly makes fecto elfillis even more threatening because its all just a game to him
Really, it feels like the opposite to me. It feels like Elfilis is trying too hard to appear as a deity, as if being bested and contained by such lower creatures created an insecurity that they are not quite able to cope with, it being so unfamiliar of a feeling to them. But that’s just the feeling I get from the lyrics.
@@shizathoth4534I get the same feeling from him with how he assumes that he is superior while knowing absolutely nothing about what he is up against and that despite being in there for who knows how long he never bothered to do any self reflection to figure out how he lost. Compared to what Kirby has been fighting on a near weekly basis Fecto Elfilis is more like a big fish in a small pond and he happened to pick a fight with one of the biggest fish around.
The thing that gets me is that the song feels like it’s all in Kirby’s head. Like Elfilis is singing this telepathically. And the way It echos makes it feel even more like that. What I really love is how you captured his ego. Like yeah he is basically a god of war, but the way he speaks as if his very word is law really works.
Specifically my Sister's head canon had this idea about water and Elfilis's dimensional powers being conductive. Something about them being Tranq'd mid flight and falling into a river or something.
For those who don’t know, the Roche Limit is where two celestial bodies are being pulled by each other’s gravity to the point where one will be torn apart. This happens in the literal sense here, where Fecto Elfilis summons Pop Star to crash into the Forgotten Land. But this also happens in the metaphorical sense, where Kirby and Elfilis, two beings of cosmic power, have been pulled together in this final battle. Also, love the last lyric. “For chaos rises another day”, hinting at Chaos Elfilis.
Kirby and Popstar are both brightly coloured, joyful and lively. Elfilis and The Forgotten Land are contrasting each others colours, soulless and abandoned. I love the idea that each planet represents the different combatants here.
@@anexplosion5436 I wouldn`t call the Forgotten Land "soulless". It has an actual peaceful atmosphere to it and the Beast Pack basically repopulated and repurposed the abandoned areas before Fecto awoke.
Imagine being a galactic conqueror getting defeated by a primitive race, having them steal your tech and fucking off, and then once you get everything back together, you lose to the most powerful being in the universe who happened to have been alerted in the process Fecto has some shit luck, man
I like to headcannon that fecto wasn’t actually invading, but just eating and thus humans did what they do best, and enslaved and demonised the unknown, turning them bitter once they escaped
I really like the echo you guys added for Fecto Elfilis' voice; it really does set the tone of the character in a way not really heard of anywhere else on the platform! This was well worth the wait
one of the best parts is the "Here we are" part, going over how Elfilis was trapped, and the next here we are lacks the quoation marks, such a subtle change but it changes the tone from mocking to full seriousness, that here they are, to destroy it all worth the wait
I’m not sure if this was intentional, but the fact that Fecto Elfilis’ voice echoes shows just how powerful they are. A being with such an immense power, their voice echoes across an entire world, reaching everyone and everything.
A haunting thing that occurs to me is that it doesn't take much to imagine *Elfilin* also speaking in this register. The intonation and cadence would feel way different, but that's just what I mean: imagine Kirby hearing them speak and it's the voice of the companion he's spent the entire adventure with, except they sound so, *so* wrong.
Oh GOD, that's actually a legitimately unsettling concept. Hearing something that sounds like your friend except in a far more twisted voice.. except in this scenario, he's not mimicking, that's his real, original voice..
"Gaze upon the angel's might As wings of death unfurl in flight The god of war, The spoil of life, From decades under strife!" What a great way to start a great song, like holy shit, this song does not have the right to go so hard, but it does anyway, and i like it because of that
My GOODNESS Juno. To have the lyrics flow so well through all of these beat and motif changes is nothing short of a marathon of your hard work and determination. You and Steel really blew this wide open. The initial entrance at 20 seconds with the layered art and powerful lyrics is such a moment absolute hype. It gets your blood pumping. SO proud of you both!!
Also, may I remind you how this version of humanity (who doesn't look that advanced) We're able to capture and use. What is essentially a war God? This guy's all about how strong he is, how nothing can compare to him, how the weak must die and be devoured by the strong, and yet he was so weak that humanity was able to collectively give the middle finger and trap him and leave him there as he split apart.
I think it was most likely due to Elfilis’ arrogance that he got captured, underestimating the capabilities of humanity. Taken down not by sheer might but by his own hubris leaving an opening to get captured. Also it was stated that they went on a rampage before they were captured, so time was likely spent to devise some sort of plan to beat him
“Thirty years “And here we are”” “Blood and tears “And here we are”” “Look me in the eye” “Bury your world’s hope in this forgotten land” So many lines from this song go hard. You did one of the best Kirby bosses (in my opinion) justice.
I've follow your channel for years now. I've seen everything you have made and I have literally no words for the inexpressible chills I have gained each time I listen to this. It is simply your best, and that is so incredibly rare given your amazing quality with each lyric video you've made. I am a huge Kirby fan, and most of your Kirby songs definitely impress me, but this is on a whole new level. The absolute MAJESTY of Steel's voice intertwining with the sheer POWER of some of the lines you wrote for Elfilis. I always thought Elfilis was a decent Kirby villain, but not one of the best. You and Steel changed that foolish perception VERY quickly. Gosh, the opening alone just made me freak out. And somehow you made an eight minute song not feel repetitive, lengthy, or unwarranted. Each line is near perfection. Sorry for the gushy comment, but this piece of art deserves it. This was WELL worth the wait and I will certainly listen to this about a thousand more time. You deserve a good break after this one, because I can totally understand (and have experienced myself) musical burnout. Thanks Juno!
My favorite line is " you're the heart and I'm the fist we cannot Coexist " because it shows how Kirby fights for his friends while fecto ellfiilis fights because he's an asshole
this is gonna sound weird, but the character you are giving fecto with the lyrics explaining his motivation oddly reminds me of Omega from MOTI's vocal cover of "Cannonball". Just two powerful beings who revel in destruction. Difference is however, O wasn't really going on about how absolutely above he was everyone, not like fecto. He just loved destruction and fighting, it was glorious. Fecto here sees it as absolute fact he is just an absolute power that cannot be defied, and him ruling over all and destroying at his whim is just his right. Any opposition shall be obliterated, and the audacity of something daring to try is blasphemy to him. Whereas Omega would probably be THRILLED at a challenge or someone fighting back.
I'm picturing the scenario now: Omega somehow ends up on Popstar after his death in MMZ3, takes a look around at the paradise he's found himself on, fires up his saber, and starts razing the land. The Meta Knights are on the scene, but his weapons are just too powerful; almost like what those Haltmann folks were packing cranked up to 11. Someone (likely Meta Knight himself) uses a diversion to escape and find Kirby to alert him to this crazy powerful destroyer being. However long it takes Kirby following his path of destruction, eventually he catches up to the God of Destruction, who probably notices him while he's cutting down some Waddle Dee begging for its life. The fight begins, likely with Omega using a range weapon to gauge if this squishy, pink thing actually has the guts to fight him, having seen how weak this world is compared to him. Kirby is only shaken for a moment, running up to avenge everything and everyone he's passed following him. It's hardly easy, given Omega's durable plating, his saber's deceptive reach, and his accuracy with his buster (or gun, I forget what he was using in that fight), but Kirby does damage him bit by bit, either with a copy ability or spitting back the stars his attacks are leaving behind now for some reason. Eventually Omega gets staggered by a lucky hit (i.e., he gets to half health), kneeling to regain his balance, when he notices some cracks in his plating. He puts his fingers to one of them and looks at it. Black, with a slight rainbow sheen, and slowly dripping down. Oil, he's leaking; something on this world can match him in strength. He chuckles, then chuckles more, louder this time as he stands back up, something can match him. He can cut loose all he wants against this pink thing. Some salvaged Haltmann tech nearby starts to stir. He breaks into maniacal laughter at this thought, flaring with power as large Invader Armor arms levitate from their resting places and race to positions around his shoulders. Kirby got far enough to deal lasting damage, now he's getting the full package.
oh wow, you are taking this further than I ever conceived and I LOVE it. The way I'm picturing Kirby defeating O.Zero now is somehow or another, the original Zeros saber somehow makes it's appearance, and then kirby wields it and goes IN@@vincentleonard3797
I love how you have such control over your voice! You can growl, and raise your voice to add intensity, facing a powerhouse like Elfilis. A tough battle, or emphasizing the rage he felt when being used and split in half. Then, you can make it more quieter and calm, like Elfilis’s majestic yet powerful nature. This cover gave me chills. Amazing work!
I really loved this cover tbh. The wait was WELL worth it. The lyrics kinda indicate that this isn’t just a battle between Kirby and another God, but also a battle of wills. A battle between Forgo, who believes that this world is beyond saving and must be destroyed as such, and Elfillin who believes that there is hope for this world and it should persist. You can tell especially at the beginning that Forgo is trying to convince Elfillin that Elfillin is inherently weak for his compassion and that it would be the death of him due to how Forgo’s perception of the universe works. Then around the end, Forgo gives up on trying to convince Elfillin and just goes, “Fine if you will not fight, then you shall die as well.” and focuses its attention on destroying Kirby and Elfillin both. All despite knowing full well that it cannot function without Elfillin. Almost like an, “If I must fall, then all shall burn upon my pyre!” type deal. And to top it all off, this battle of wills is happening while Forgo also tries to keep up the “I am god and fighting me is pointless” to downplay Kirby and get him to give up. It must be a lot to juggle for poor Forgo. That’s just my take on this lyrical song. Thanks for reading if you made it this far I guess. Edit: Just a few things I wanted to add . Like I said previously, Juno’s lyrics indicate that this fight is a battle of wills. When Elfillis says “This world is gone. Why then do you cling to this hell?” I think is a perfect example of said battle of wills! Forgo is asking Elfillin directly why he is still clinging to this forgotten land. To Forgo, said forgotten land is exactly that. A land that is a shadow of its former glory, left to rot by humanity. Not to mention it being the source of Forgo’s anger. There’s also lines such as “I shall cast to night this new world!” “Witness the death of hope’s final spark!” and “I shall subjugate your new world!” where I believe Forgo is also directly addressing Elfillin. Forgo doesn’t care if Elfillin doesn’t want the world to be destroyed. Forgo is going to do it anyway, with or without Elfillin’s approval. Forgo knows that if it destroys the Forgotten Land/New World, it will kill Elfillin’s will to rebel against it, so that’s exactly what it’s going to do.
"I'll burn the sky in fire, salt the earth retire, your resistance cost you the world you hold dear... see what now comes from defying my spear!" ABSOLUTE PERFECTION
I love the Forgotten Land. Fecto Elfilis is one of my favorite villains and they stand out for being the one Kirby villain that's pure evil. The other villains are either amoral made of evil villains, or villains that were corrupted/possessed by some powerful magical artifact. Fecto Elfilis is by far the most vile creature Kirby faced, given that it desires to assimilate all life and conquer the universe. The scene where he opens a portal and tries to pull Popstar in to crash into the planet all just to spite Kirby just shows how cruel and evil they are. And what they did to Leongar, using him as a puppet and then trying to claim his body as its own. When Leongar started using energy based attacks, you can see the pain it causes him to fire an energy beam from his mouth and Fecto Forgo didn't care. And then assimilating Leongar and the Beast Pack, the former survived, but I think it's implied the others it assimilated died.
@@theenderkirby I wonder if Fecto Elfilis is from a species given its alien nature, and there's an entire planet of these virtually all powerful alien gods? That would be bad news for Kirby.
@@ranpan6082 well I do belive he from a biological race but I think they either working alone or very but very rare like there only around 10 of those in the entire exsitence explaining why maybe elfilis come to the forgotten land alone like due to their nature and rarity they rely on themself and their psychic powers
@@theenderkirby That could be a smart way to introduce them as the new villains to the series because if there were billions of them in the universe, creation would've been wiped out long ago. If they go with that direction, have Elfilis be the weakest and the succeeding members be much stronger than it.
If I had a nickel for every time Steel voiced a super powerful final boss with a popular theme song, I'd have two nickels, which isnt a lot but it's weird that it happened twice.
As always, the wait was *beyond* worth it Between Steel's phenomenal singing, and Juno's tendency to personify that gif of the paper and quill in flames (the writing is fire), combined with artwork from *both of them*? God *DAMN* was it worth it and then some. Just amazing work all around. Which isn't surprising with how consistently Juno puts out bangers, but it's incredible nonetheless.
"And here we are." Jokes aside, I'm so glad we waited for this song so you can make it a masterpiece. I thought you went all out for Miseltein, but this is on a whole other leauge. Also getting steel was a great idea to voice Elfilis. You never disappoint with your songs Juno, keep it up.
I love how it sounds like he is saying a lot faster than he should at some points, like he has so many thoughts to get off now that he has awaken from his never ending slumber
2:54 I just realized the genius metaphor here, "Two beings collide, absorb, assimilate." Of course obviously Fecto is referring to the creation of itself, recombining and assimilating Elfilin. However, consider the "collide" bit. Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit. It's a double entendre, referring to both Fecto and Elfilin combining into Fecto Elfilis, but also Planet Popstar and the Forgotten Land combining. Both are planets colliding, both are two beings assimilating.
@@supasunotchi3355 It would be like Fecto calling Kirby a hypocrite, as Kirby can use that power without consequence but Fecto does it once and Kirby hates him for it.
@@thunderdragon6318 Oh, that makes sense. Wait, so are you saying… trying to make Kirby realize the consequences of his actions? Are you saying Fecto is trying to get Kirby to stop killing everything in sight?
ok, one word... "AWESOME", i love Fecto Elfilis a lot, and this lyric video just made me like him even more, i can't stop listening to this, and also... why does this part 4:52 always give me chills in a good way, good job like always !
2:13 Steel just never fails to take a song and add his own flair. His intonation and emotion is second to none. And Juno, I had no idea what to expect from this, but whatever expectations I had were just met and then some. Incredible. I AM THE capitalism THAT IS APPROOOOOACHIIIIIING-
I genuinely think this is some of your best work man, I know this song couldn't have been easy to write lyrics for but you did a great job capturing the essence of Fecto Elfilis with them and Steel's brilliant vocals
through a quick search no ones pointed it out as far as i care to search "thirty years, "and here we are!"" "blood and tears, "and here we are!"" "words that grate into the recesses of mind" "now here we are" if elfilis wasnt insane before he sure was after 30 years of "AND HERE WE ARE!"
1:02 I do wonder when elfilis said your are the heart does he refer to kirby or elfilin like elfilin is basically his very little amount of good and he maybe saying that he not agree to show kindness at all
i kinda feel bad for elfilis here. i know they are a unredeemable and revenge-thirsty monster but nobody deserves to be locked up in a tube and experimented on for who knows how long
I mean, they were kind of trying to destroy the entire Earth and destroyed countless before. It's kinda hard to feel any pity you know? Seeing as it is a multiversal level genocidal
This creature would have gone right back to bloodied galactic conquests if it won this fight. Fecto Elfilis is one of the very few beings that 100% deserves every single bit of what it went through.
@trainerlsw Yeah, that's the only definition I know. It doesn't appear to correlate with anything around that part of the song. Maybe Juno was going for some obscure definition where it refers to the center of the universe or the source of all existence or something? He was just talking about gods. I don't know. Line still goes hard regardless. If it is just an allusion to the space colony Axiom, Wall-E and FL do share blatant thematic parallels, so it works.
@@amazydayzee3621 "Servitude to that which could conquer the stars, to the axiom" That which could conquer the stars is obviously Elfilis, so I think he's calling himself the axiom. Maybe it's a weird way to say that he's always right or something like that
I still remember how amazing this boss fight was. The music paired with visual of reality distorting around you, planet popstar rocketing to towards the ground and the high energy from the truck kirby sequence is something I will never forget❤
Obsessed with this cover. Y'all really knocked it clear out of the park with this. I adore the voice Steel did for Elfilis, and the lyrics you came up with are just... Perfect, really. 15/10, Juno. Wonderfully done.
I love how ironic the line “simple beings like you can’t comprehend, my crusade of blood!” The fact that when it comes down to it, it’s very easy to understand because it really isn’t that deep, he just wants to shed blood and spread war and their is nothing much to it. But Fecto Forgo can’t comprehend our acts of love and compassion because it is literally too beyond what he can understand
Incredible work as always Juno. Steel did a wonderful job with the vocals, sounding calm yeah enraged with power all the same, it's perfect. And the lyrics themselves, fitting so well with the rhythm of the song AND perfectly presenting how terrifying Elfilis is. Was absolutely worth the wait. I think you deserve a well rested break after this, you, and everyone else whos worked on these songs, deserve i!
Honestly there should be a limit before a song gets too beautiful for human ears to comprehend but yall seem to dance around that Roche limit just fine each time - nice work dudes!
Hard disagree. The best voice crack on this channel is: “I command you bow down. To the master croooooOWN.” -Magalor in the original “Under My Control” cover
"30 years, and here we are! / blood and tears, and here we are!" goes so hard this is really stupid and personal but i feel the need to kinda just... shout this out there? no pressure to read if ya dont wanna i live in a pretty dysfunctional household- we're also plural and trans, and kirby has been our special interest since we've been a tiny kid i was fighting pretty hard earlier this year to get us top surgery even when our parents did everything they could to stop us im currently a few months post-op and i vividly remember thinking of those few lines when i was on my way home (though, for us, it's been 22 years. cause.. we havent been alive for 30 yet) and here we are. (edit: thanks fur reading if you made it this far :3)
Ive noticed that when elfilis uses his healing power, the easy way to find the real one is by looking at the shadow. The real one has a shadow while the fakes don't. 😊
Yes! It’s finally out! So much hype…. THIS IS FIREEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥! I love how Steel’s voice is kinda calm, and the echos are a great detail! Great job Juno! I knew I can count on Magolor!
the amount of time you put into this makes it a whole lot better and i like how you did the voice and the elements of her talking about destruction and how chaos rises another day and the powers that she holds about the forgotten lands and the lyrics with the music makes it better
For those who don't know, the Roche Limit is the point in which a gravity well will tear apart a celestial body orbiting it. This is most commonly associated with planets and their moons. Just a science fact to go with the video.

i think my favorite line in this song is a very subtle one. "still you fight, you yearn for home, even when you're all alone?" elfilis says this after kirby rescues elfilin, meaning that kirby isn't alone, but elfilis thinks he is because he doesn't see elfilin as their own person, just an extension of his own self that broke loose. this is also nailed in by fecto forgo's "GIVE IT BACK" line in hunted by the beast. "it" being the keyword. elfilin is not a person in elfilis's eyes, just a missing piece of himself. i love this cover so much

I love how at 2:30 it’s like “please just stop I’ll give you a painless death” like, that’s Kirby’s friend speaking. Not the manic, genocidal bloodlusting god. At least trying to.
Yeah... though that is kinda a heartbreaking thought that Elfilin is conscious during this battle and has little control over what Eliflis is doing.

The slow realization that he is not the alpha predator in this scenario.
More the Slow Realiation that this thing is also a god and Will. Not. Go. DOWN.
2:13 This is one of the parts of Roche Limit I was most excited to see you adapt, this is the part where Hirokazu Ando thought "Ever heard a final boss theme interrupt itself with a slap bass solo jumpscare" and just popped OFF, making this song even more erratic
I know I already said some of this, but the long wait for this cover really was worth it, Roche Limit is a harder to follow song than Ando's other works, and I don't blame you for taking time to figure out how to possibly turn this into a singable song
I was also curious to see how that part would be adapted. It's so unique and seems like it could've been hard to work around with it's more erratic nature. I must say, what was done here is probably one of my favourite parts of the song with the snappiness of going from one line to the next and each lines delivery *especially* with headphones.
yuo ar eevrywhere
I AM THE STORM THAT IS APPROAAAACCHHHIIINGGG-
Agreed
Bro you're everywhere
“None shall remember you” echoing long after he already said it shows just how angry Elfilis is with Kirby’s decision to try and stop it
At 2:33 I love that it starts to sound like Elfelis is getting irritated, but then the tiny bit of Elfelin inside it calms it down.
Edit: And how at 4:19 Elfilis starts to constantly repeat “And here we are” because it was forced to hear that over and over for thirty years
@mangotheneko4963 probably longer than that, that was just how long before the warp experiment that seperated him. Actually by that logic the audio would have been recorded _after_ that.
So it would have been an indeterminate amount of time between that incident and everybody on the planet packing up and leaving altogether.
I noticed that myself! The part where he says “Give in, acquiesce…” sounds like it’s Elfilin crying out from the depths of Fecto Elfilis’ soul. Like Elfilin trying to rebel and calm Fecto Elfilis down, but Fecto Elfilis won’t let him.
I love how Fecto Elfilis' voice echoes and distorts. As if speaking to you through your mind and trying to mess with you, to discourage or control you, and make you bend to it's will so it could destroy you. The way "None shall remember you" echoes through your ears is haunting, as if it's speaking to you telepathically and it's an inescapable noise to accompany your demise.
In addition, I love the personality given to Fecto Elfilis in this video! It's as if it's a self-righteous god of war who views themself as such. It once did what it did out of necessity, like a deranged killer or a deadly storm with no remorse or reason. But now it has a reason to really let loose and unleash its rage upon those who ruined it! Being trapped and broken for decades, it's gone mad with thoughts of revenge and the constant droning of an intercom speaking, "And here we are!" that kept playing as if it were some sort of attraction to be gawked at morbidly rather than a living creature. Now that it's free, it wants nothing more than to rend reality asunder!
I love how it does that too, makes this cover perfect to listen to when you just close your eyes and let the stunning vocals consume you
5:58 I really love this whole section leading up to 7:12 . It's like Fecto is currently actively getting winded and overwhelmed as he sings, he starts singing softly like he's recovering from a heavy blow, then you can hear the frustration and spite in his "VERY WELL!" cause he is so DONE with this pink puffball that is somehow laying him low, and decided to pull a Freeza and nuke EVERYTHING as a instafix. Then after, he is singing softly again because this is actually taking A LOT out of him, his other half is gone again, and he is actively falling apart, melting. But he is building up again as he sings because he SEES KIRBY COMING FOR HIM, so he is doing everything within his power to keep this pink nightmare away before he finally reaches his breaking point with "YOU SHALL PERISH TOO, IN THIS NEW WORLD!" . Then he goes back to singing softly, because that was it. His final stand and if that didn't end it, he had nothing more...but he is stubborn, and we all know he turns up again... a bit more chaotic.
@inactive341 oh, thank you, but... love what exactly?
The end gives spoilers for the postgame final encounter boss, Chaos Elfilis.
I mentioned this in the original video, but I really love the manic edge added to Elfilis' voice. That and the echoing psychic words helps highlight how they are one of more unhinged villains in the series and how their imprisonment in the forgotten land made them even worse. But unlike instances like Sectonia or Haltmann, their wickedness is all of their own accord; they were a world conquering asshole long before the game.
funny how the fully-in-control is the only one to get redemption
@@charlesfisher-kh5swwell... your *half* right.
5:25 has got to be my favorite part of this cover. The rage in Fecto Elfilis' voice when he says "Look me in the eye!" Steel did that part so beautifully, just... wow-- I-- I can't-- *disappears into the void while screaming*
Steel's voice radiates a surprising amount of calm while singing which honestly makes fecto elfillis even more threatening because its all just a game to him
Really, it feels like the opposite to me. It feels like Elfilis is trying too hard to appear as a deity, as if being bested and contained by such lower creatures created an insecurity that they are not quite able to cope with, it being so unfamiliar of a feeling to them. But that’s just the feeling I get from the lyrics.
@@shizathoth4534I get the same feeling from him with how he assumes that he is superior while knowing absolutely nothing about what he is up against and that despite being in there for who knows how long he never bothered to do any self reflection to figure out how he lost. Compared to what Kirby has been fighting on a near weekly basis Fecto Elfilis is more like a big fish in a small pond and he happened to pick a fight with one of the biggest fish around.
Facts
Until 4:02
.................
The thing that gets me is that the song feels like it’s all in Kirby’s head. Like Elfilis is singing this telepathically. And the way It echos makes it feel even more like that. What I really love is how you captured his ego. Like yeah he is basically a god of war, but the way he speaks as if his very word is law really works.
Let me remind you this banger plays when a blue demon chinchilla with wings fights a pink blobbo
Yes
XD
Just another god getting absolutely destroyed by a little pink ball
To this day I still wonder how exactly they were able to capture and imprison Elfilis
The world’s biggest mousetrap and tastiest cheese
@@JunoSongs ...That's canon now, you magnificent madlad.
Specifically my Sister's head canon had this idea about water and Elfilis's dimensional powers being conductive.
Something about them being Tranq'd mid flight and falling into a river or something.
@@WildcardHandThat’s a perfect theory
They had some help from Shinra Electric Co.
JENOVA and Fecto Elfilis are _eerily_ similar...
For those who don’t know, the Roche Limit is where two celestial bodies are being pulled by each other’s gravity to the point where one will be torn apart.
This happens in the literal sense here, where Fecto Elfilis summons Pop Star to crash into the Forgotten Land.
But this also happens in the metaphorical sense, where Kirby and Elfilis, two beings of cosmic power, have been pulled together in this final battle.
Also, love the last lyric. “For chaos rises another day”, hinting at Chaos Elfilis.
The parallels of both the planets and kirby and elfilis is actually really cool
Kirby and Popstar are both brightly coloured, joyful and lively.
Elfilis and The Forgotten Land are contrasting each others colours, soulless and abandoned.
I love the idea that each planet represents the different combatants here.
science fact babyyyyyyy!!!
@@anexplosion5436 I wouldn`t call the Forgotten Land "soulless". It has an actual peaceful atmosphere to it and the Beast Pack basically repopulated and repurposed the abandoned areas before Fecto awoke.
U giving spoilers for the postgame.
Imagine being a galactic conqueror getting defeated by a primitive race, having them steal your tech and fucking off, and then once you get everything back together, you lose to the most powerful being in the universe who happened to have been alerted in the process
Fecto has some shit luck, man
They based technology off Fecto’s biology
One spécimen against an army of trucks, I think one win easily.
I like to headcannon that fecto wasn’t actually invading, but just eating and thus humans did what they do best, and enslaved and demonised the unknown, turning them bitter once they escaped
To be fair, they do kinda deserve it.
Kirby : " oh you open space rifts. My friend Maglor did that too."
I really like the echo you guys added for Fecto Elfilis' voice; it really does set the tone of the character in a way not really heard of anywhere else on the platform! This was well worth the wait
one of the best parts is the "Here we are" part, going over how Elfilis was trapped, and the next here we are lacks the quoation marks, such a subtle change but it changes the tone from mocking to full seriousness, that here they are, to destroy it all
worth the wait
I’m not sure if this was intentional, but the fact that Fecto Elfilis’ voice echoes shows just how powerful they are. A being with such an immense power, their voice echoes across an entire world, reaching everyone and everything.
A haunting thing that occurs to me is that it doesn't take much to imagine *Elfilin* also speaking in this register.
The intonation and cadence would feel way different, but that's just what I mean: imagine Kirby hearing them speak and it's the voice of the companion he's spent the entire adventure with, except they sound so, *so* wrong.
Oh GOD, that's actually a legitimately unsettling concept. Hearing something that sounds like your friend except in a far more twisted voice.. except in this scenario, he's not mimicking, that's his real, original voice..

I agree. It's right up there with "Hero so bold, despair and behold, for you shall be the Final Fold!"
Agree, Fecto Elfilis spitting bars that have even dreamland itself getting a little closer to hear.
Fecto Elfilis definitely spent his time captured by humans writing this song.

“‘But you can never escape the spear of fate…’ oh that’s good! Maybe I can use that with one of my spear attacks…”

My GOODNESS Juno. To have the lyrics flow so well through all of these beat and motif changes is nothing short of a marathon of your hard work and determination. You and Steel really blew this wide open. The initial entrance at 20 seconds with the layered art and powerful lyrics is such a moment absolute hype. It gets your blood pumping. SO proud of you both!!

@@JunoSongs morpho knight: I'm insulted that you haven't made one of these for me #justiceformorphoknight
Also, may I remind you how this version of humanity (who doesn't look that advanced) We're able to capture and use. What is essentially a war God? This guy's all about how strong he is, how nothing can compare to him, how the weak must die and be devoured by the strong, and yet he was so weak that humanity was able to collectively give the middle finger and trap him and leave him there as he split apart.
Humans used teamwork
I think it was most likely due to Elfilis’ arrogance that he got captured, underestimating the capabilities of humanity. Taken down not by sheer might but by his own hubris leaving an opening to get captured. Also it was stated that they went on a rampage before they were captured, so time was likely spent to devise some sort of plan to beat him
We used a quick ball
Makes you wonder what kind of cosmic horror was powerful enough to force these humans to flee the planet, or even destroy them.
Y'know, this song has singlehandedly shot Elfilis from "man, this guy is really boring" to my second favorite Kirby villain after Star Dream. Nice job
Fun fact, canonically, Bandana Waddle Dee plays a part in the final battle in this game

“Thirty years “And here we are””
“Blood and tears “And here we are””
“Look me in the eye”
“Bury your world’s hope in this forgotten land”
So many lines from this song go hard. You did one of the best Kirby bosses (in my opinion) justice.
I always found elfilis as one of the most intimidating Kirby villains. This song definitely enforces that point
30 years huh? It's been so long
I've follow your channel for years now. I've seen everything you have made and I have literally no words for the inexpressible chills I have gained each time I listen to this. It is simply your best, and that is so incredibly rare given your amazing quality with each lyric video you've made.
I am a huge Kirby fan, and most of your Kirby songs definitely impress me, but this is on a whole new level.
The absolute MAJESTY of Steel's voice intertwining with the sheer POWER of some of the lines you wrote for Elfilis. I always thought Elfilis was a decent Kirby villain, but not one of the best. You and Steel changed that foolish perception VERY quickly. Gosh, the opening alone just made me freak out. And somehow you made an eight minute song not feel repetitive, lengthy, or unwarranted. Each line is near perfection.
Sorry for the gushy comment, but this piece of art deserves it. This was WELL worth the wait and I will certainly listen to this about a thousand more time. You deserve a good break after this one, because I can totally understand (and have experienced myself) musical burnout.
Thanks Juno!
My favorite line is " you're the heart and I'm the fist we cannot Coexist " because it shows how Kirby fights for his friends while fecto ellfiilis fights because he's an asshole
I thought the heart hes referring to was elfilin, but i like ur analysis too
The heart is a reference to star allies were kirby uses the power of friendship to beat the game
Fecto Elfilis: literally is god of world destruction
Kirby: becomes a truck with the capability of turning gods into mere roadkill
Vehicular Deicide go brrrr
You forgot that half of elfelis is powering this truck
@@LutherBarden that one's Elfilin isn't it
this is gonna sound weird, but the character you are giving fecto with the lyrics explaining his motivation oddly reminds me of Omega from MOTI's vocal cover of "Cannonball". Just two powerful beings who revel in destruction. Difference is however, O wasn't really going on about how absolutely above he was everyone, not like fecto. He just loved destruction and fighting, it was glorious. Fecto here sees it as absolute fact he is just an absolute power that cannot be defied, and him ruling over all and destroying at his whim is just his right. Any opposition shall be obliterated, and the audacity of something daring to try is blasphemy to him. Whereas Omega would probably be THRILLED at a challenge or someone fighting back.
I'm picturing the scenario now: Omega somehow ends up on Popstar after his death in MMZ3, takes a look around at the paradise he's found himself on, fires up his saber, and starts razing the land. The Meta Knights are on the scene, but his weapons are just too powerful; almost like what those Haltmann folks were packing cranked up to 11. Someone (likely Meta Knight himself) uses a diversion to escape and find Kirby to alert him to this crazy powerful destroyer being. However long it takes Kirby following his path of destruction, eventually he catches up to the God of Destruction, who probably notices him while he's cutting down some Waddle Dee begging for its life. The fight begins, likely with Omega using a range weapon to gauge if this squishy, pink thing actually has the guts to fight him, having seen how weak this world is compared to him. Kirby is only shaken for a moment, running up to avenge everything and everyone he's passed following him. It's hardly easy, given Omega's durable plating, his saber's deceptive reach, and his accuracy with his buster (or gun, I forget what he was using in that fight), but Kirby does damage him bit by bit, either with a copy ability or spitting back the stars his attacks are leaving behind now for some reason. Eventually Omega gets staggered by a lucky hit (i.e., he gets to half health), kneeling to regain his balance, when he notices some cracks in his plating. He puts his fingers to one of them and looks at it. Black, with a slight rainbow sheen, and slowly dripping down. Oil, he's leaking; something on this world can match him in strength. He chuckles, then chuckles more, louder this time as he stands back up, something can match him. He can cut loose all he wants against this pink thing. Some salvaged Haltmann tech nearby starts to stir. He breaks into maniacal laughter at this thought, flaring with power as large Invader Armor arms levitate from their resting places and race to positions around his shoulders. Kirby got far enough to deal lasting damage, now he's getting the full package.
oh wow, you are taking this further than I ever conceived and I LOVE it. The way I'm picturing Kirby defeating O.Zero now is somehow or another, the original Zeros saber somehow makes it's appearance, and then kirby wields it and goes IN@@vincentleonard3797
I felt the same way when I compared MOTI’s portrayal of Omega and Ridley.

I love how you have such control over your voice! You can growl, and raise your voice to add intensity, facing a powerhouse like Elfilis. A tough battle, or emphasizing the rage he felt when being used and split in half. Then, you can make it more quieter and calm, like Elfilis’s majestic yet powerful nature. This cover gave me chills. Amazing work!
It's not Juno singing.
It says it's someone else in the video, doesn't it? I'm referring to who is singing, but thanks bro.
fecto elfilis singing as a big rig is driving right torwards him is just really funny to me
I really loved this cover tbh. The wait was WELL worth it.
The lyrics kinda indicate that this isn’t just a battle between Kirby and another God, but also a battle of wills.
A battle between Forgo, who believes that this world is beyond saving and must be destroyed as such, and Elfillin who believes that there is hope for this world and it should persist.
You can tell especially at the beginning that Forgo is trying to convince Elfillin that Elfillin is inherently weak for his compassion and that it would be the death of him due to how Forgo’s perception of the universe works.
Then around the end, Forgo gives up on trying to convince Elfillin and just goes, “Fine if you will not fight, then you shall die as well.” and focuses its attention on destroying Kirby and Elfillin both. All despite knowing full well that it cannot function without Elfillin. Almost like an, “If I must fall, then all shall burn upon my pyre!” type deal.
And to top it all off, this battle of wills is happening while Forgo also tries to keep up the “I am god and fighting me is pointless” to downplay Kirby and get him to give up. It must be a lot to juggle for poor Forgo.
That’s just my take on this lyrical song. Thanks for reading if you made it this far I guess.
Edit: Just a few things I wanted to add .
Like I said previously, Juno’s lyrics indicate that this fight is a battle of wills. When Elfillis says “This world is gone. Why then do you cling to this hell?” I think is a perfect example of said battle of wills!
Forgo is asking Elfillin directly why he is still clinging to this forgotten land. To Forgo, said forgotten land is exactly that. A land that is a shadow of its former glory, left to rot by humanity. Not to mention it being the source of Forgo’s anger.
There’s also lines such as “I shall cast to night this new world!” “Witness the death of hope’s final spark!” and “I shall subjugate your new world!” where I believe Forgo is also directly addressing Elfillin.
Forgo doesn’t care if Elfillin doesn’t want the world to be destroyed. Forgo is going to do it anyway, with or without Elfillin’s approval. Forgo knows that if it destroys the Forgotten Land/New World, it will kill Elfillin’s will to rebel against it, so that’s exactly what it’s going to do.

"I'll burn the sky in fire, salt the earth retire, your resistance cost you the world you hold dear... see what now comes from defying my spear!"
ABSOLUTE PERFECTION
I love the Forgotten Land. Fecto Elfilis is one of my favorite villains and they stand out for being the one Kirby villain that's pure evil. The other villains are either amoral made of evil villains, or villains that were corrupted/possessed by some powerful magical artifact. Fecto Elfilis is by far the most vile creature Kirby faced, given that it desires to assimilate all life and conquer the universe.
The scene where he opens a portal and tries to pull Popstar in to crash into the planet all just to spite Kirby just shows how cruel and evil they are. And what they did to Leongar, using him as a puppet and then trying to claim his body as its own. When Leongar started using energy based attacks, you can see the pain it causes him to fire an energy beam from his mouth and Fecto Forgo didn't care. And then assimilating Leongar and the Beast Pack, the former survived, but I think it's implied the others it assimilated died.
Yeah while I doubt elfilis will return in some form in a mainline kirby game beside refs he did left a huge impact
Notably Elfilis is possibly THE MOST Eldritch being in the series despite appearance.
@@theenderkirby I wonder if Fecto Elfilis is from a species given its alien nature, and there's an entire planet of these virtually all powerful alien gods? That would be bad news for Kirby.
@@ranpan6082 well I do belive he from a biological race but I think they either working alone or very but very rare like there only around 10 of those in the entire exsitence explaining why maybe elfilis come to the forgotten land alone like due to their nature and rarity they rely on themself and their psychic powers
@@theenderkirby That could be a smart way to introduce them as the new villains to the series because if there were billions of them in the universe, creation would've been wiped out long ago. If they go with that direction, have Elfilis be the weakest and the succeeding members be much stronger than it.

God *DAMN* was it worth it and then some.
Just amazing work all around. Which isn't surprising with how consistently Juno puts out bangers, but it's incredible nonetheless.
"And here we are." Jokes aside, I'm so glad we waited for this song so you can make it a masterpiece. I thought you went all out for Miseltein, but this is on a whole other leauge. Also getting steel was a great idea to voice Elfilis. You never disappoint with your songs Juno, keep it up.
I love how it sounds like he is saying a lot faster than he should at some points, like he has so many thoughts to get off now that he has awaken from his never ending slumber
2:54 I just realized the genius metaphor here, "Two beings collide, absorb, assimilate." Of course obviously Fecto is referring to the creation of itself, recombining and assimilating Elfilin.
However, consider the "collide" bit. Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit. It's a double entendre, referring to both Fecto and Elfilin combining into Fecto Elfilis, but also Planet Popstar and the Forgotten Land combining. Both are planets colliding, both are two beings assimilating.
It could also refer to Kirby and Elfilis themselves (although they don't assimilate each other).
It could also be referencing Kirby's copy abilities, as you have to absorb and assimilate an enemy to get them.
@@thunderdragon6318Yeah, but why, though? That has nothing to do with this. It would make no sense.

Line still goes hard regardless. If it is just an allusion to the space colony Axiom, Wall-E and FL do share blatant thematic parallels, so it works.
@@amazydayzee3621An axiom can also be perceived as a lesson, so it could be Elfilis trying to teach Kirby the truth.

"Servitude to that which could conquer the stars, to the axiom"
That which could conquer the stars is obviously Elfilis, so I think he's calling himself the axiom. Maybe it's a weird way to say that he's always right or something like that
absolutely love how you added the detail of the deep and echo-y voice elfilis is confirmed to have in the light novels
WAIT THAT WAS IN THE LIGHT NOVELS?!
@@boomfanfic-a-latta8996 yeah
The WHAT
@@idioticlight yeah kirby light novels exist lol
obscure in america but highly well known in mexico and japan
@@Personalaccusage *insert meme of me running to get those here*
I still remember how amazing this boss fight was. The music paired with visual of reality distorting around you, planet popstar rocketing to towards the ground and the high energy from the truck kirby sequence is something I will never forget❤
5:49 Kirby: I'm saving you Eflin from Fecto Elfillis corruption within.
Obsessed with this cover. Y'all really knocked it clear out of the park with this. I adore the voice Steel did for Elfilis, and the lyrics you came up with are just... Perfect, really. 15/10, Juno. Wonderfully done.
I love how ironic the line “simple beings like you can’t comprehend, my crusade of blood!” The fact that when it comes down to it, it’s very easy to understand because it really isn’t that deep, he just wants to shed blood and spread war and their is nothing much to it. But Fecto Forgo can’t comprehend our acts of love and compassion because it is literally too beyond what he can understand
This was both a very fun final boss battle to fight against
And a Very good Lyrical Adaptation of said Boss Battle!
So....just came back from Man on the Internet version and I still can't decide which one I like most. Both are 🤌 to the max!!!
Incredible work as always Juno. Steel did a wonderful job with the vocals, sounding calm yeah enraged with power all the same, it's perfect. And the lyrics themselves, fitting so well with the rhythm of the song AND perfectly presenting how terrifying Elfilis is. Was absolutely worth the wait. I think you deserve a well rested break after this, you, and everyone else whos worked on these songs, deserve i!
Steel's vocals as Elfilis are stunning - dare I say almost hypnotic - and that's part of what makes this cover so addictive for me!
Honestly there should be a limit before a song gets too beautiful for human ears to comprehend but yall seem to dance around that Roche limit just fine each time - nice work dudes!
I didn't know Fecto Elfilis was the storm that is approaching, provoking black clouds in isolation, a reclaimer of its name
Born in flames, but has he been blessed?

The perfect voice crack 2:42

Hard disagree. The best voice crack on this channel is: “I command you bow down. To the master croooooOWN.” -Magalor in the original “Under My Control” cover
Waiting for this song like Magolor told us was definitely worth it
6:34 Can't help but remember how kirby had to eat Optimus Prime to save Planet Popstar.
Steel is such a natural antagonist and a society's last hope.
"30 years, and here we are! / blood and tears, and here we are!" goes so hard
this is really stupid and personal but i feel the need to kinda just... shout this out there? no pressure to read if ya dont wanna
i live in a pretty dysfunctional household- we're also plural and trans, and kirby has been our special interest since we've been a tiny kid
i was fighting pretty hard earlier this year to get us top surgery even when our parents did everything they could to stop us
im currently a few months post-op and i vividly remember thinking of those few lines when i was on my way home (though, for us, it's been 22 years. cause.. we havent been alive for 30 yet)
and here we are.
(edit: thanks fur reading if you made it this far :3)
The “look at me in the eye” holds so much weight
I think Fecto Elfilis might be the most powerful villain Kirby’s ever faced.
Ive noticed that when elfilis uses his healing power, the easy way to find the real one is by looking at the shadow. The real one has a shadow while the fakes don't. 😊
Yes! It’s finally out! So much hype…. THIS IS FIREEEE🔥🔥🔥🔥! I love how Steel’s voice is kinda calm, and the echos are a great detail! Great job Juno! I knew I can count on Magolor!
the amount of time you put into this makes it a whole lot better and i like how you did the voice and the elements of her talking about destruction and how chaos rises another day and the powers that she holds about the forgotten lands and the lyrics with the music makes it better
Alright, I'll say it.
By far, my FAVORITE song with lyrics in it.
Great job, man.
Its a pretty neat coincidence how both you and Alex's most recent villan songs have the villian still talking shit even as they are about to die!
What an otherworldly level of awesome talent by Steel!
For those who don't know, the Roche Limit is the point in which a gravity well will tear apart a celestial body orbiting it. This is most commonly associated with planets and their moons. Just a science fact to go with the video.
