I have fond memories of Kirby Right Back at Ya, so today, let's take a look into what a show all about a mostly silent main character was all about and how it was all handled!

Were you a fan of Kirby Right Back at Ya!? Let me know your thoughts!
Ok
Yes dude lets goooooo!! Thank you so much mate,my childhood!!
WAIT… Remember Glenn Martin, DDS?
Awesome Kirby anime tv series!
I loved Kirby Right Right Back at Ya. It was a simple yet great show. This show and Sonic Underground were just some of my favourites to watch on a Saturday morning.
How could I forget the masterpiece of voice acting that is Dedede and Escargoon
How could I forget Kirby voring an entire watermelon? 😂
Dedede will always sound like Colonel Sanders to me
Don’t forget Chef Kawasaki too!
Fun fact, it’s the same actor for both of them.
Greetings from Kirby Abrdged!
@@AMTheOcarinaPlayerand that same voice actor was also.. Bakura. You can't hear it like.. at all. But respect to Ted Lewis
Fun fact: Escargoon's only game appearance was a cameo in a subgame in Kirby Mass Attack. I hope we get a dub blu ray of the show someday.
I cannot see it not getting a blu ray English Dub complete collection version. The show is way too popular, and it already got an English Dub release on DVD. I would say sometime next year or within a couple of years. It can take time to dub shows.
It does exist, although only in Japan
I'd like that. Blu-ray collection to maybe they can do a fandom and use the dub from the original anime. We have so far two cover over it?
Who doesn't remember this show? This is literally one of the most GOATED video game-based animes/cartoons of all time.
Amen brother
The intro, the show, the epicness!
Also, there were a short video on the 3DS, Kirby fought against a giant lobster by becoming an ice warrior.
Amen, to that!!!
Probably tied with Netflix's Castlevania as one of the best shows based on an video game.
I will forever accept Anime!Dedede's voice to be his canon voice
@@connorj1165 I know right? Even Juno Songs prefers Anime!Dedede's voice instead of the Smash and game one
@@TheGamerninja15 eeeheheheheh! IMMA CLOBBAH DAT DERE KIRBEH!
I'm a preschool teacher and my younger sister (who is 27) gave me her plush kirby because she doesn't want it in her room anymore. I put kirby in my classroom and it's kind of interesting being the one to introduce who/what kirby is to 4 year olds who don't know what it is. For my class, kirby is a stress relieving toy, a toy plush to play with, a toy that watches the class to see if they are behaving, etc.
That's so wholesome
You are the best teacher ever
King Dedede really did steal the show bc he was such a lovable jerk but moments where he actually showed to care for Kirby were really wholesome moments in the show
Dedede is really that villain who had a great personnality. ^^
He did run his mouth a lot lol
@@K2SonicFan Escargoon led the charge on that aswel mind you.
@@liamstanley2325 tru
The park scene 🥺🫶🏻
This show meant SO MUCH to me as a kid. It got me through so much hardship in my life at the time. Hell, because of this show, I checked out the games, and fell in love with them too. Now I'm in my 30s, and Kirby is still my favorite character in anything ever. Just looking at him makes me so happy.
Your right bro, Kirby right back at ya is the MAIN reason why I love the Kirby games soo much!
I would do anything for this show to make a come back. Literally my childhood
I was so damn obsessed with playing Kirby air ride as a kid with my cousin. It was so damn fun not to mention the handheld games.
I've got a part of my brain that dedicated to remembering Kirby: Right Back at ya.
Makes a lot of sense, given your avatar.
I revisited this show a couple years back because I had vague memories of it from when I was little and what sold it for me was the fact that they gave Metaknight a spanish accent. I got the most enjoyment from that accent alone and what made it even better was that you never knew when he was going to show up! It was perfect! Also I'm seriously considering buying the series boxset if and when it hits my part of the US.
the accent was so iconic, even his smash bros VA gave him one.
And you knew he meant business when he showed up because he. *insert guitar here* he had a theme tune that played whenever he appeared.
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby!
That’s a name you should know!
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby!
He’s the star of the show!
He's more than you think! He's got maximum pink!
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby's the one!
He comes right back at ya!
He comes right back at ya!
Give it all that you've got! Take your very best shot!
He'll send it right back at ya for sure, yeah!
[NME Salesman:]
"How can I help you, King Dedede?"
[Dedede:]
"I need a monster to clobber that there Kirby!”
[NME Salesman:]
"That's what we do best at NME!"
[Escargoon]
“You'd better get it with a money back guarantee!!"
[Singer]
Oh, Kirby, Kirby, Kirby, saving the day!
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby, he's here to stay!
Don't be fooled by his size! You won't believe your eyes!
Kirby! (Kirby!) Kirby! (Kirby!) Kirby! (Kirby!)
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby’s the one!
Right back at ya!
YEAH!!
I would like to imagine everyone remembers this Kirby. Im not even into gaming and this show was a classic
It's retro for me. ^^
I think the best thing about this series is the fact that the main threat is Nightmare Enterprises, or NME. In other words, the main threat is literally called "Enemy" which is such a fantastic pun.
This show was my childhood. Also dedede will always be a gem
It's ironic to think that despite being pink and cute Kirby still feels like a character boys and girls can like equally.
I get a similar feeling about Steven Universe.
@@beccacroce7380
😂
@@ZEK-ROM yup...
I believe it's because of the action elements in the games and anime that let Kirby draw in fans of both genders despite being cute and pink, which would normally be associated with being girly. It also probably helps that his ability to transform into multiple different new forms that give him a wide array of powers and, being a fairly gender neutral design despite being cute and pink helps to balance these elements out in my opinion
Yeah, men enjoy his versatility and immense power, while women love his cuteness and demeanor. And it’s all wrapped in a simple, inoffensively designed character who doesn’t even talk. Kirby is basically the closest we get to character perfection.
Kirby Right Back at Ya!? genuinely has one of my favourite theme songs of any cartoon/anime out there, absolute jazz banger!
The only Kirby thing I own is a non-licensed magnet that says "Eat The Rich"
This show is very special to me. A lot of my growth as a writer + artist came from creating fan works for this series! I haven't had the inspiration lately, but I hope one day I can finish one of the stories I've been chipping away at for years lol
I loved Kirby Air Ride so much. It would be awesome if they made another one.
I have that game. One of my favorites.
I loved this show! This and Kirby Triple Star Deluxe are what got me into the Kirby games! Also I found out Nightmare is voiced by Andrew Rannells
I used to love this show as a kid. Kirby is one of my favorite game series every I have pretty much all of the main games you can never be upset playing a Kirby game and it’s something I’ll always go back to if I just want to chill
So true. It's my go-to game when I just rage quit something else
The dog episode destroyed me, emotionally and it still does.
We don’t talk about that episode. No robot dog episode ever happened.
This episode lives on eternally in my soul.
Like others said who couldn’t forget this. What was also new is it one of some animated shows that had a definitive ending. No sudden cancellation or abrupt end. It just ended in a satisfying end
4kids King Dedede voice actor is still my head canon
Man, I used to wake up early before going to school to watch this One of my favorites childhood memories
Omg I use to watch this show at my grandmother's place when she mostly raised my little brother and I when we were little. The only episode I can remember from the show was the one involving King DDD giving everybody TVs to hypnotize/brainwash them.
The one-two-three punch of Melee, this, and Kirby's Air Ride really cemented my love for Kirby as a kid. I love the malleability of his powers. Any medium with superpowers in it, I always gravitate towards characters whose power is something to do with superpowers itself. Stealing powers, boosting powers, negating powers. And yes, copying powers. Kirby was likely a big contributor to that, now that I think about it. I never had an N64 growing up, but I have really fond memories of watching my friend play Kriby and the Crystal Shards, and it's still one of my favorite games of all time today.
Watching this show as someone who had actually been playing Kirby games before hand was such a surreal experience.
This show was my first introduction to the pink puffball. (I didn't know the games were a thing at the time.)
My next introduction to Kirby would be with his inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Melee. (I wouldn't play my first Kirby game until Star Allies. Although, I did recently beat Kirby and the Forgotten Land.)
This, Sonic X, Pokemon, and the Magic Bullet infomercial were my Saturday mornings in my childhood!
Kirby is just the best. I'm glad he's getting a little bit of an upsurge in popularity.
I watched this show for the first time this year and somehow I'm already nostalgic for it!
What did you watch it on? Also is it the original or the dub that 4kids made that removes or replaces a lot of things? Like kirby mixing up some alcohol or using an uzi? Or king dedede using an actual freaking chainsaw and not a laser!
Dedede and Escargoon were the best dysfunctional couple in anime.
YES!!! (I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH!!!) (too bad there are no full episodes on youtube anymore.)
I wasn't born when this show aired, but thanks to youtube yes, i do remember this show. It was fun bingeing it a few years back
Where to begin...Kirby Right Back At Ya! Was my favorite Saturday morning cartoon during the mid-2000s. I even wrote a journal entry about it for school once. "Hand me another bag of them chips!"
I clearly remember it!
The scenes were sometimes in 3D, but i wasn't bothered by that.
It was very known here in France.
I ate this show UP as a kid. I was (and still am) a big Kirby fan so giving me an entire show to watch was basically trying to hold my attention hostage. Upon rewatching a good amount of episodes I still feel like it holds up. I do have some issues like the star warrior lore not being as fleshed out as I thought it could've been and Kirby feeling a lot more like a background character until the monster showed up despite being the title character but overall still a charming show I hold dear to me. Also nothing will ever come close to the masterpiece that was 4KIDS Dedede. He was the true star of the show or should I say "king of the show".
One of my most fond memories of my childhood was actually renting the Fight to the Finish on my local redbox by my McDonald’s I watched it so much so this series will always have a special place in my heart
I remember this show. It was a masterpiece.
I loved this show as a kid. Deedeede’s voice was so iconic. I really believe no one can hate this show, it’s goated.
Of course it's how I got into Kirby and gaming as a whole beyond licensed stuff.
I love this show's animation. It has very impressive CGI effects that you really didn't see in anime back in the day. It was really ahead of it's time.
I don't remember MUCH of the show. But I remember one specific episode where King DeeDeeDee kept saying "Dee dee dee, you like me. Dee dee dee, you trust me." My brother and I thought this was hilarious
Ah yes, the theme song that will never ever leave my head
How can I forget this show. In fact, I only started watching it last year while getting into Kirby. The Japanese version in case you're wondering.
This show is truly a classic gem.
King Dedede and Escargoon carried this show, no questions asked XD
Kirby saying 'Poyo' and 'Hi' in the show was so cute. ^^
KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY THATS THE NAME YOU SHOULD KNOW
KIRBY KIRBY KIRBY HE’S THE STAR OF THE SHOW!!!
I could never forget about the Kirby show I was even thinking about watching the rest of the episodes soon everything about Kirby is awesome of the video games, The show, The characters and the actors! I can even remember the whole entire lyrics of right back at ya and most of the characters too, This show just brings out a lot of happiness and funny and special moments for me, This show for me will be remembered for a long time as a kid classic and as a awesome memory of mine Kirby is indeed the one!
Retro Crush should add this to their service and live channel since they have Cromartie High School, Tenjo Tenge and Law of Ukei. Same for Pluto TV.
Oooh, I 'member!
It was the very first series I watched in english rather than my native language waaaaaay back when I was still new to the internet. In a way, it served as the first step in a new "internet life" where, like, 99% I watch is in english, even series that have dubs available in my native language.
As such, the series holds a special place in my heart.
What's your native language?
@@littlefox_100
I'd rather not say.
I made a lot of negative experiences doing so.
@@MarcMagma it's ok. Sorry that happened.
Love this show to pieces
i remember binging all 100 episodes when i first got into kirby during the release of return to dreamland and gosh it was so much fun i loved it
I loved Kirby right back at ya it was one of my favorite shows growing up and now I'm riding an awesome fanfic that continues with a story left on. It's mainly going to be based on Kirby's return to Dreamland and Kirby's Dreamland 2.
Cant believe this came out around during the season 2 to 3 era of spongebob. Crazy..
Kirby has always been one of my favorite Nintendo characters, if not the favorite. The show was very good, even with 4kids meddling.
Actually all things considered I'd call this one of their best dubs, yeah they still do their small edits that make no sense but it does'nt get in the way of the story, and they did'nt cut entire episodes from the anime just bizarrely moved them around which isn't really an issue these days now that we can see it online. The smaller things they did don't bother me infact sometimes it's so obvious that it's hillarious like the good old Jelly Filled Donuts. Their bigger bad habits were much more irritating for me.
I don't even like 4kids but yet I love kirby right back at ya and sonic x
I need to give this show a rewatch someday. Really underrated! A shame it didn’t go on for as long as Pokémon but nothing will ever be as popular as that, let’s be honest.
I loved this show! I just rewatched it in both languages online somewhere a few years back. I wonder if any dvd copies in English will ever exist? I'd buy a complete box set in a heartbeat!
This show was my WHOLE childhood, I miss this show so much 😭❤️
Man I loved this show so much growing up but like most cartoons from that era I rarely if ever got to watch them in any kind of order and often missed episodes altogether. I really hope they do release that collection in the US so I can revisit some real nostalgia from my childhood.
THIS SHOW IS AND WAS BALLER. Favorite character was Meta Knight.
As a massive Kirby fan, I’ve watched this show multiple times back in 2017-2018. Watched the English dub first, then the original Japanese with English subtitles. Loved both of them. Made a ton of fan art during those years too. My favorite character was (and still is) Escargon/Escargoon. I just have a lot of fun memories with this show and I occasionally still draw the characters from it. Awesome video reminding me about one of my favorite shows! 😉
I love this show - wish it was officially dubbed on bluray. The cooking reality show episode was my favorite and even my mom would sit down laughing at that episode.
@@connorj1165 what do you mean you don’t think their not gonna get em all?
that episode was one of a handful i watched (once) on kabillion, with my only other exposure to the kirby franchise besides that being a copy of super star ultra on the ds.
Come on, Discotek Media, get the license and give us a remaster of the english dub! 😭
I grew up with Kirby and then when I saw the show it got me automatically obsessed with the GBA game that came out. Revived him for me.
That Kirby Blu-ray box set will play just fine in your US Blu-ray Player Jordan. Japan & the US are BOTH Region “A” when it comes to Blu-Ray releases.
10:14 Funny thing is when it premiere on kidswb i had soccer practice in the morning so i asked and reminded my parents (mostly my dad since he was gonna be home during that time) to record the special and lucky for me he was able to and except for the first ten minutes due to some issue with the recorder but was still glad he did, not to mention it record all the old commercials that showed that time 😂
Thanks, Jordan, for covering yet another 4Kids TV gem, bro! I owe you one, man! This was my childhood back in the day! And I'm trying not to sound old, but yeah, I really love the series and I really do hope that due to the success of the Mario movie this year, that Nintendo do the same for Kirby and give the series a big fully CGI feature film from Illumination and make it apart of an NCU (Nintendo Cinematic Universe) and even have it include a Metroid movie, too! That'd be sweet to see and even F-Zero could get a chance for redemption with a movie as well! There's just so many possibilities! It's so amazing and I love it!
I remember watching this show a ton when I was younger during the original run. Didn’t know about Fright to the Finish until years later when the show popped up in my head and I wanted to reminisce and watch said show again. It’s such a fun time watching, and hearing familiar voices like Mike Pollock (Eggman) just makes me chuckle lol.
Kirby is one of my long time favorites of the Nintendo gaming era and Kirby right back at ya ( Kirby of the stars in Japan) was a guilty pleasure of mine in the Foxbox TV era on Saturday morning
As someone who grew up on the video game franchise, I was always looking forward to the cameos of past characters and enemies in the show.
Yes,we heard King Dedede has savage talk there before.
Kirby, Kirby, Kirby’s the ONE !
- It was definitely one of my favorite series back in the day with even though I didn’t lay the game I knew Kirby & very much enjoyed the show even remembering a lot of the episodes loving the characters (Kirby, Meta Knight, Dedede, Escargoon, Kawasaki, Curio, & Rick are my favorites), the references to other media (like Jurassic Park, King Kong, Mothra, Harry Potter, Don Quixote, how animation is made, & many more), & the various monsters that Kirby had to face with my favorite being Belly Buster, Max Flexer, Noddy, Slice n’ Splice, Ice Dragon, Monsieur Goan, Bugzzy, Chilly, Broom King, Erasem, Masher, Amon, Danger, Windwhipper, Teacher Creature, Dr. Moro, Paint Roller, Anige, Heavy Lobster, & the Martial Arts All-Stars
@@connorj1165 Well first I believe that some are from the game but yes they would be very cool to see in a game, but as for Tiff & Tuff I liked them as Kirby’s closest friends / allies with Tiff I like that she was like one of the only few people in the kingdom who was level headed
You can not possibly forget Kirby Right Back At Ya!
I never had the chance to "officially" watch the series (aside from the 3 episodes on the 20th anniversary disc), but i LOVED the series so much. Even binged it with my sis. Fond memories of a great series!
Loved this anime as a teen. Great one
I'll never forget southern accent Dedede for the rest of my life. For every reason, that should've been a horrible western localization decision but it somehow rolled around into being perfection. Just like Dedede himself.
I didn’t watch this show as it aired, but I did marathon the whole thing a couple years after its conclusion. I still vividly remember how absolutely wild that finale was.
Yes! The opening was so good❤
This was my frickin show growing up KIRBY RIGHT BACK AT CHA .... YEA 😂✊💯💪
This and Sonic X
Loved it , wish we had more cartoons like this nowadays
I definitely remember this Kirby anime!
This show gave me my irrational fear of asteroids. Thanks Kirby
I really loved the theme song for this show. It really did a good job hyping me up for Kirby's hijinks
This theme song lives rent free in my head
Actually yes. Many of the moments in this show lived in my head rent-free for the better part of two decades.
Greetings from one of the head team members of Kirby Abridged!
We at team KA were responsible for getting the “lost episodes” of season 3 of Kirby uploaded to TH-cam back in the day. Good old digitized VHS recordings. 😅
Will you be covering
4Kids One Piece next? And maybe won’t be super cruel about the edits. At least the voices were all unique.
My brother and I used to watch this show, and the theme song is catchy AF!
Sonic X and Kirby Right Back At Ya were my introductions to the franchises. Honestly I still love them today. 4Kids may have censorship issues but damn if their MUSIC and SFX for shows didn’t go absolutely insane. Wish the OST was more easily available online
Yeeeah I do who could forget the iconic Spanish Guitar Sting Metaknight show
How could I ever forgot that episode with the little robot dog, that scarred me for life
This was the first anime I ever finished. It holds a special place in my heart! I know both the 4kids and original JP themes from memory thanks to watching the sub and dub religiously. Good times
This show was adorable!
I largely ignored the games until the show came out. After that, I picked up Kirby Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA), and have been a fan of the pink puffball ever since
"You're looking fit as a fiddle!"
"You downraht spiffy yo self!"
Kirby is, indeed, the one
JORDAN!! Yes You've Brought One of the Titans Of The FoxBox/4KIDSTV. I loved this Cartoon and grew up with it as a kid.
Huge kirby fan for the games, absolutely loved the anime!
