The concept of a world without Kirby being much more serious and dark makes so much sense considering the horrors Dream Land faces on a monthly basis. Kirby was truly the factor that let Dream Land be as peaceful as it was, and now our little Kirbies may be the answer to this world's issues as well!
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 remember, this is an alternate reality where the Kirby we know isn't in Dreamland; to not help the king become more of a hero, or stopping Meta Knight's conquest.
King Dedede went from stealing food from Dreamland to making a sacrifice to save his Waddle Dees and fight between life and death. All that possession from Dark Matter and other Eldritch horrors in Popstar really changed him ever since.
Modern Dedede really has changed for the better, now being more of an ally for Kirby than an enemy. In fact, when even was the last time he fought Kirby without being brainwashed or cloned, anyways? EDIT: Turns out it was Kirby Fighters 2 in 2020.
Well, this Dedede seems to only face threats when they come knocking to his door, while Meta Knight tries to shut them down before they get anywhere near that far... It's easy to see why he'd be angry at Dedede for being a slacker, when they're around the same level in terms of combat, it'd be much easier if the King also defended the land...
@@TheKorenji True, but the comics for this series, as well the way Dedede reacted after being booed by everyone after driving Meta Knight gives me the impression that at least part of his "laziness" is really him just not being motivated to help people who are just going to hate him and use him as a scapegoat no matter what he does.
The absence of Kirby in this universe really made Meta Knight into a battle hardened warrior who has lost a limb. We get a glimpse into the bigger picture and I can't wait to see what role Adeline and The Company have in it!
Meta Knight having holographic wings is an interesting design choice I don't think I've seen before. It's a visible sign of just how _worn down_ this Meta Knight is from defending the planet, alongside his missing arm.
So basically, this episode is about how Meta Knight put some sense on DeDeDe, and Adeline actually learning that her first impression was just a misunderstanding.
Meta Knight is old. He's tired. And aside from his crew he is so very alone. Seems like the 'king' might've taken the encounter to heart, but time will tell.
ok i love how on the surface the plot seems kinda strait froward but then ya read the description and it gives more lore. just like an actual Kirby game and it honestly one of my favorite things
Ok, why is this the most badass Metaknight I’ve ever scene? The Plasma wings, the full anime battle with Dedede, it is just awesome Edit: I just noticed the missing arm also. You really went in on this design
So with Kirby never giving dedede a push to improve (both combat and as a person), meta knight has so far been the only one fighting of all the threats to dreamland. Im assuming the fight with dedede was during revenge of meta knight in Kirby super star / super star ultra, because that was the point in the games where meta got fed up with dreamlands laziness. That means for one, that meta knight has at this point fought off at least nightmare, dark matter swordsman, and zero entirely by himself. Maybe Marx and dyna blade too. Plus with meta being the one doing all this he might have even fought galacta knight. Then revenge of meta knight happend, and without Kirby to sink the halberd basically instantly it turned into a grueling war that dedede somehow still won. I’m very curious to see how this continues. Meta could probably manage the squeaks and magolor, maybe even sectonia. but we know for a fact enemies like dark mind from amazing mirror or haltman from robobot are too much for him to deal with alone. Most of the characters involved never become friends without Kirby. There has been no trace of gooey or the animals so far. Marx, magolor, taranza and Susie are unlikely to be forgiven for their crimes without Kirby either. It’s very interesting to see an alternate Popstar without Kirby and the consequences that has. There’s also the fact that with at least super star having happened at this point, Kirby 64 is up next and we just got introduced to ribbon…
Thinking about it now I wonder what the conflict between Adeline and meta knight when meta and ribbon might meet during 64, I hope Kirby comes back soon
Tbh I don't know if marx or magolor would even attempt their ploys here, there's no naïve hero like kirby for marx to easily trick, and the reason magolor went to popstar at all is because he was told about kirby (probably by marx)
I mean, that might not be a case. Remember that a number of these end bosses for each of the game often exist... because it was Kirby's 'fault', being he is often quite easily manipulated due to his naive nature. Nightmare came to be after Kirby attempted to repair the Dream Rod back to the Fountain, which was formerly done by Dedede in order to protect dreamland from said Nightmare. In this case, as Marx only became a problem due to him manipulating Kirby in the first place in order to gain 'power', I think the general issues would mostly be just Zero and his many legions of dark matter. As for something like Taranza and Susie? I mean, that is kinda a crapshoot; although the canon variants of their respective games have them be saved by kirby, they each also had either Dedede or Meta be the main protagonist in the 'un-canon' games, where Kirby was absent. Could be a case where, due to Kirby not existing and the two having to deal with a lot of problems without the pink puff? Might be that if said people were a factor and aren't a potential 'future' problem in this series, then they could have dealt with said problems due to having to pick up where Kirby is absent. As for the Kirby Friends? I mean a lot of them were people that originally befriended Kirby, so it would be harder for them to take action since they did it mostly with support with their friendship. The only question is how would they have even dealt with said Zero and Dark Matter, due to most of them being beaten by... Deus Ex Machina, in all three of the games they are in. Although if Ada and Rib (along with Dedede and maybe whoever) found the Crystals that were used in N64, there is still Dreamland 2 and 3s that would be an issue.
I honestly think that while meta knight has been dealing with most threats he seems to be specifically saying that he's delt with ones not actively on the planet hence the halberd and the fact he seems to be mostly absent in this series. Dedede keeps to himself and as meta knight points out is lazy and self serving having basically never grown out of that stealing food phase and while there did seem to be some sort of grand battle maybe even civil war it seemed to end in a stalemate given the lack of dialogue I can't tell if meta knight told him something that made dedede realize his circumstances or if something greater was happening and thus meta couldn't keep fighting I'm thinking the former given the description text of this video and while we have seen ribbon in this series were yet to see if zero was ever per sae delt with Adeline is still here and ribbon isn't on popstar because of the crystal shards so that event might have not even happened yet if at all if you want my head canon At this point nightmare and dark matter swordsman were most likely fought off by meta knight dynablade possibly as well given meta knights role is more souly aimed towards defending Dreamland Marxs story and galacta knights fight most likely never happened as while meta's quest to eliminate laziness most likely sprouted that civil war and ended with that fight with dedede he's never had the time to seek out nova and fight galacta simply for the seek of challenge especially since hes dealing with threats to popstar by himself and given Marx's story hinges on getting kirby to resolve things his plot most likely never happened either and given the timeframe based on ribbon seemingly being older and crystal stars not seeming to be referenced outside of ribbon it's most likely that this series is in a bit of a limbo being before crystal shards at some point but it's hard to tell based on what meta knight has talked about who has come around beforehand all I can really assume is the squeaks because of the pet Adeline has I think was introduced in squeak squad giving the animal ability but again that story hinges on Kirby as well as dededes treasure being stolen but given how much has changed who knows if the squeaks even stole dark nebulas chest in the first place
Ah, Adeleine is an invader that successfully made it into Pop-Star that Meta Knight didn't got in-time. 🤔 Interesting. I love the fight scene of Dedede vs. Meta Knight. 💗 Also, that exchange about Adeleine being a "Demon-Child" in the morning is cute. 🤭
Adeleine isn't a threat to them, Meta Knight and his crew just had enough of being the only line of defense the planet has and needed Dedede to "wake up". :P

My guess is since Kirby wasn't there when this universe's equivalent of metaknight's revenge happened nobady stood between Metaknight and Dedede. Ended up in bad terms and Dedede became bitter.
Meta Knight will continue to fight a lonely battle in hiding. It is touching that he has taken off his mask (!), even if only temporarily, and It is also touching that he was able to find some peace.
I was a fool to NOT expect Meta Knight to appear in this series! I love your “advanced-tech” take on his combat skills! Almost as if he had to upgrade for the sake of keeping up with defending Pop Star. Speaking of which, I could be completely off the mark here, but it’s a risk I’m willing to take. It’s obvious that the inspiration for Meta Knight’s invasion came from Super Star (Meta Knight’s Revenge), but unlike the game where the, “Dream Land’s lazy lifestyle will end. I shall rule!” motive came out of nowhere and was never explained… …you gave it context by establishing that Meta Knight was fending off galactic threats left and right, then wanted to overthrow Dedede because he thought HE was lazy.
So he tried to be the king but why did he left dedede as a king then? Did he wanted to give him a chance to be more useful for his kingdom?@@KimiOmega
Another great episode and god youe Meta Knight loooks so amazing with the holographic wings. Dedede and Teen Adeleine really sold the episode for me, amazing job kimi
Everyone's talking about the flashback scene, and here I am enamored by the present day one where the past is the past and both Adeleine and "the knight" become pals~ … but on that topic, _you included Captain Vul, aaaaa~_ 💚
I feel so silly for never considering the underlying reason Meta Knight ever wanted to take over Pop Star. Iirc, it was Kirby Super Star that had me thinking he was just a fitness freak, but the idea that he was doing it because he wanted to beef up Pop Star's people and defenses against future threats is way more in line with his overall character! I'm really loving this series!
This episode was worth the wait. I like how Meta-Knight is portrayed in this. A war-torn hero with holographic wings and a missing arm makes this whole thing interesting. Now I wonder where we'll go from here.
It's interesting to see that at first Meta Knight was a enemy but it was all because of a misunderstanding. I love how they were building a friendship over-night. Or at least a mutual understanding. Also the Kirbys are always a blast to see again. Well done on this episode.
I understand Meta Knight getting tired of King Dedede's laziness while he does all the work to protect Dreamland. Amazing animation! And MAN HOW LONG WAS I WAITING TO SEE THE KNIGHT IN ALL OF HIS GLORY!
Every new episode just keeps fascinating me with how much more in-depth into the Kirby lore you bring this series. Feels like there's starting to be a wind-up for some incredibly frantic antics to take place down the line. I started watching this as a cute little fan-series, but you continue to evolve your work, and I couldn't be any prouder of what lengths you're taking this series as the episodes go on. Fantastic work, Kimi. ❤
Wow, he was so expressive with and without the mask! I really liked that the glowy menacing monoeye he had was still a glowing pair once he let his guard down
It suddenly occurs to me that this entire thing implies that Meta Knight got his Wings torn off, his arm torn off and EVEN MORE. Bro had an actual point to attack DD when he was getting mutilated out there while the penguin was resting.
ITS MY BOY’S TIME!!!! YEAHHH!!! Your design for Meta is so badass and interesting!! Him having battled so much he lost a LIMB??? And uses technology to help him fly and fight- AMAZING design! Interesting details I caught (and might be over thinking lol) in the flashback fight, Dedede lost the determined look in his eyes when he realized how *exhausted* Meta really was after he presumably called him out on his lack of drive. And in the present, Meta & Ado mutually coming to trust each other once they realized that the other grew up to be good hearted souls :) And THEM BONDING WITH THE VIOLIN AT THE END WAS SO CUTE!!!!
Damn this was really dope! I love how you depicted metaknight's wings. The flashback was really interesting to watch too, I really like seeing everything start to unfold.
Wow, I am LOVING the new takes on these characters. And I knew it, Ado had powers before any of the Kirby stuff happened! Lots of great reveals in this one
Wonderful episode and fantastic art and designs! This is a wonderful take on Meta Knight. As a child I never knew much about him as a character my first introduction to him was Amazing Mirror; this is probably as close as it gets to how I imagined his story back then. A victim of being a hero in a never-ending series of battles to the point he needs the strongest of technology and physical advantages to be the warrior the world sees and needs him as. I can only imagine if in this world what kinda nightmare would transpire if any major villains were to succeed or if the seal on Galacta knight were to break.
I love how cautious one placed himself behind a cardboard cutout as roots to his usual description but for him to actually be the most resistant to saluting is just as interesting I guess he just hasn’t warmed up to this new “intruder”(friend?)
META KNIGHT!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!! Been watching since the start and I have absolutely loved every episode, and this one will not be an exception cause they’re all so FREAKING COOL!!! Edit: also, I LOVE how the other Kirby’s have their reasons as to why they didn’t raise their hand to help, Glumone because he’s scared of what might happen, Cautiousone cause he’s being cautious from MetaKnight as his name tells, and Lostone is because he’s completely unaware XD Also, Adeline has a big bro? I wonder who could that be
@@cristianramos7331oh Dedede is his brother? I thought it was more of a father figure relationship type of thing, Dedede being Adeline’s brother is really cool!
I loved the 3 flower door way looking like a 3 star door and at the end with a kirby in her ear. This just keep getting better and better. I can't stop loving this. also love energy wings and blade for meta knight
Whoaaa, I love the design of this Meta Knight. A battle-hardened warrior, suffered on end as the sole protecter of Dream Land from galactic threats. Until now!! I gotta draw this guy. Well done, can't wait for the next one!
I really love the world building you did with this episode where the chaos in Dreamland started not just because dedede was a greedy king stealing food but because of his altercation with meta knight pointing out the fact he was moreso lazy and unreliable at the time. Also the reveal Adeleine was supposedly one of the invaders meta knight was supposed to stop adds another layer to what they could've been fighting about it's all so amazing and feels really thought out you really upped the ante with this episode and I can't wait for the next installment 😁👍
Thank you so much! ^-^ Although, Adeleine wasn't an invader, Meta Knight was telling her at this rate, being the only line of defense, he wouldn't be able to stop them all. That's when Adeleine says that if invaders land on Popstar, she would take care of them, making Meta Knight realize that the newer generation is now here to help!
@@KimiOmegaah I see that definitely makes more sense and that's a really great message to convey without any dialogue per sae very well done I really like the way you've written the characters in this series with meta knight taking up the primary role of defending Dreamland from outside threats and Adeline and the company fulfilling the role of "Kirby" or "hero's in training" who will take his place in the future it's all so much amazing world building you've really outdone yourself keep up the amazing work take all the time you need 😁😆
Yeah I saw this too I like how Lostone being so oddly lost in thought represents the traitlessness of the "copy" copy ability and it immediately poofing away when he comes into frame shows how he hasn't exactly mastered that power yet or he's just hiding the fact he copied him when he looked over regardless it's such amazing detail which I don't think we've ever seen before outside of I think reincarnations where he copied bitterone but I could be remembering that wrong
I AM SCREAMING IN HAPPINESS OMG... You have done nothing but made my life better now. I remember watching your videos years ago and I still remember it. I remember those old videos of the few episodes!! I FREAKING LOVE YOUR WORK!
That flashback actually made me tear up. I LOVE how Dedede is written in this. Wanted to give the guy a hug ;_; Update: Why did an older Kirby make me cry. He's just an old man. I remember watching Right Back at ya and always loved when Meta showed up. ❤
I'm so happy!!! The Battleship Halberd along with it's owner is so intimidating and cool!! But man, DDD really did screw up didn't he. Poor MK, just doing his duty as per usual, but even he needs help sometimes. I loved seeing the lore behind this, and the clearing up of misunderstandings! The offering of dinner was so nice and gives me warm fuzzy feels! Hopefully now that Ado and her 10 babs are aware of the situation, things may take a turn for the better!
Meta knight's digital wings are SO cool!! The story implications from the lack of kirby could make for some really cool plot, which i'm all in for! Excellent work, as always! ^^
It’s crazy how you keep making your work even better! Your idea of making Meta Knight have cybers wings reminds me of how cool Mecha Knight could’ve been in Robobot
Wow. The design of meta knight looks really cool!!!!! I never considered the idea having holes for the mouth to speak (or speakers) or electric wings! Really cool new take on Meta Knight
that meta knight design is so freaking badass, I love the redesigns you have given the cast it gives a new fresh coat of paint to the whole scene good job
THIS EPISODE IS AMAZING!!! I LOVE YOUR DESIGN FOR META KNIGHT, AND THE ACTION BETWEEN META KNIGHT AND DEDEDE WAS EPIC!!! I just CANNOT wait to see more from you dude ❤
King Dedede further proves why he's my absolute favorite King of Dreamland. And finally seeing Meta Knight is something to marvel, but tragic given he only has one hand now. You never miss a beat, KimiOmega. Looking forward to the next episode.
I really like this very good concept and realization of what would happen in a world without Kirby, which we all know, and how the inhabitants of Dream Land defend themselves from external dangers on their own. I also love the fact that without a Kirby protecting Dream Land, King Dedede takes his job as king a bit more seriously. I suppose Meta Knight might challenge or be angry with King Dedede because he might not have been doing a good job at that moment and had been resting all this time. I assume he let him live in that death battle since she was there, but he had his reasons for being angry with Dedede, as he has a heavy workload defending Dream Land all this time, leaving him no time to rest. It seems he had to fight in so many battles that Meta Knight had to improve his technology much more, making this Meta Knight much more advanced than the original. Also, while recounting his story, I loved the fact that he was very surprised by what she told him. Apparently, while adeleine does prevent major threats, she handles the threats that manage to bypass her defense system, defending Dream Land very well in that part of the world. After hearing her story, he changes his perspective on Meta Knight. Honestly, I love your videos and how you expand the story you are creating. Above all, I love the direction you are giving to this great and sweet story, in my opinion. Thank you very much for continuing to do this great work and project. I hope you have a great Halloween
I have to say it’s really cool to see Meta Knight for the first time this episode. Back when I was in my middle school years either 2014 or 2015, I got super smash bros brawl on the Wii during Christmas. Meta knight was my character to play as. I also had a meta knight amiibo I bought last year or the year before. You really did a cool job with this animation KimiOmega and we are hoping on seeing meta knight again in another episode.
The concept of a world without Kirby being much more serious and dark makes so much sense considering the horrors Dream Land faces on a monthly basis. Kirby was truly the factor that let Dream Land be as peaceful as it was, and now our little Kirbies may be the answer to this world's issues as well!

Probably will in the future. Hopefully without the presence of Halbert from Kirby Robobor
I like this meta Knight a lot, it's litteraly a what if Kirby don't stop him in Kirby Super star
@@geomania8533 you mean Haltmann, right?
@@mechamax7919 Nope, Halbert from Planet Robobor.

Another great episode and god youe Meta Knight loooks so amazing with the holographic wings.
Dedede and Teen Adeleine really sold the episode for me, amazing job kimi
Thank you so much! After so long, we finally have Adeleine and King interacting in an episode!
I love how this series seems to be getting darker and darker every episode but i feel we need more wholesomeness here!
The fact one sneeze changed the fate of this universe forever.
Everyone's talking about the flashback scene, and here I am enamored by the present day one where the past is the past and both Adeleine and "the knight" become pals~
… but on that topic, _you included Captain Vul, aaaaa~_ 💚
I feel so silly for never considering the underlying reason Meta Knight ever wanted to take over Pop Star. Iirc, it was Kirby Super Star that had me thinking he was just a fitness freak, but the idea that he was doing it because he wanted to beef up Pop Star's people and defenses against future threats is way more in line with his overall character!
I'm really loving this series!
This episode was worth the wait. I like how Meta-Knight is portrayed in this. A war-torn hero with holographic wings and a missing arm makes this whole thing interesting. Now I wonder where we'll go from here.
It's interesting to see that at first Meta Knight was a enemy but it was all because of a misunderstanding. I love how they were building a friendship over-night. Or at least a mutual understanding. Also the Kirbys are always a blast to see again. Well done on this episode.
I understand Meta Knight getting tired of King Dedede's laziness while he does all the work to protect Dreamland. Amazing animation! And MAN HOW LONG WAS I WAITING TO SEE THE KNIGHT IN ALL OF HIS GLORY!
MORE POYO CONTENT LES GO FELLAS
YEAHHH BOIII
HELL YEAH
Every new episode just keeps fascinating me with how much more in-depth into the Kirby lore you bring this series. Feels like there's starting to be a wind-up for some incredibly frantic antics to take place down the line. I started watching this as a cute little fan-series, but you continue to evolve your work, and I couldn't be any prouder of what lengths you're taking this series as the episodes go on. Fantastic work, Kimi. ❤
Wow, he was so expressive with and without the mask! I really liked that the glowy menacing monoeye he had was still a glowing pair once he let his guard down
I love your original takes on all the characters, you really made them your own!
It suddenly occurs to me that this entire thing implies that Meta Knight got his Wings torn off, his arm torn off and EVEN MORE.
Bro had an actual point to attack DD when he was getting mutilated out there while the penguin was resting.
Meta Knight was so intimidating you really forget he was an villain in the newer games
The cyber wings looked really cool, very creative!!
ITS MY BOY’S TIME!!!! YEAHHH!!!
Your design for Meta is so badass and interesting!! Him having battled so much he lost a LIMB??? And uses technology to help him fly and fight- AMAZING design!
Interesting details I caught (and might be over thinking lol) in the flashback fight, Dedede lost the determined look in his eyes when he realized how *exhausted* Meta really was after he presumably called him out on his lack of drive. And in the present, Meta & Ado mutually coming to trust each other once they realized that the other grew up to be good hearted souls :)
And THEM BONDING WITH THE VIOLIN AT THE END WAS SO CUTE!!!!
*One of these days, I'm going to binge watch Every episode of your series. It's so darn GOOD!* 💙
this series has some of the coolest depictions of kirby characters ive ever seen
Damn this was really dope! I love how you depicted metaknight's wings. The flashback was really interesting to watch too, I really like seeing everything start to unfold.
Wow, I am LOVING the new takes on these characters. And I knew it, Ado had powers before any of the Kirby stuff happened! Lots of great reveals in this one
Meta Knight looks more like a war hero in this series. And the thing is, I actually like it.
The Battleship Halberd has seen better days
Wonderful episode and fantastic art and designs!
This is a wonderful take on Meta Knight.
As a child I never knew much about him as a character my first introduction to him was Amazing Mirror; this is probably as close as it gets to how I imagined his story back then.
A victim of being a hero in a never-ending series of battles to the point he needs the strongest of technology and physical advantages to be the warrior the world sees and needs him as.
I can only imagine if in this world what kinda nightmare would transpire if any major villains were to succeed or if the seal on Galacta knight were to break.
Meta Knight and King Dedede are so freaking COOL in this 🔥 😎
I love how cautious one placed himself behind a cardboard cutout as roots to his usual description but for him to actually be the most resistant to saluting is just as interesting I guess he just hasn’t warmed up to this new “intruder”(friend?)
META KNIGHT!!! LET’S GOOOOOO!!!
Been watching since the start and I have absolutely loved every episode, and this one will not be an exception cause they’re all so FREAKING COOL!!!
Edit: also, I LOVE how the other Kirby’s have their reasons as to why they didn’t raise their hand to help, Glumone because he’s scared of what might happen, Cautiousone cause he’s being cautious from MetaKnight as his name tells, and Lostone is because he’s completely unaware XD
Also, Adeline has a big bro? I wonder who could that be
It’s dedede as in the letters from one of the episodes end credits
@@cristianramos7331oh Dedede is his brother? I thought it was more of a father figure relationship type of thing, Dedede being Adeline’s brother is really cool!
1:02 I love how the grass and flowers mimick the star doors/portals from the games. Neat touch.
I loved the 3 flower door way looking like a 3 star door and at the end with a kirby in her ear. This just keep getting better and better. I can't stop loving this. also love energy wings and blade for meta knight
It’s amazing how much you’re able to get across without dialogue, every character feels well developed. I’m interested to see how this au develops!
Heck Yeah!!~🎉
Wow, we're already on Episode 12??
Time flies~
The use of legendary air ride machine in this short made me smile
2:14
Hey Meta Knight how are you doing?
"Very badly"
Whoaaa, I love the design of this Meta Knight. A battle-hardened warrior, suffered on end as the sole protecter of Dream Land from galactic threats. Until now!! I gotta draw this guy. Well done, can't wait for the next one!
Whenever a new Kirby guardian episode comes out, I have to stop what I’m doing and watch it immediately.
1:02 The plants and flowers referencing those portals that Kirby enters is magnificent.
Perfect timing to watch before I head to bed
Have a good night!
7:40 not them flirting LMFAO
?
@@SSBAwakened read their text messages
@@EnharmonicYT I did but who’s the other person texting the one taking care of the puffballs?
@@SSBAwakenedRibbon from Kirby 64
@@LilyTheSmol I think I saw the previous episode first
I really love the world building you did with this episode where the chaos in Dreamland started not just because dedede was a greedy king stealing food but because of his altercation with meta knight pointing out the fact he was moreso lazy and unreliable at the time. Also the reveal Adeleine was supposedly one of the invaders meta knight was supposed to stop adds another layer to what they could've been fighting about it's all so amazing and feels really thought out you really upped the ante with this episode and I can't wait for the next installment 😁👍
Thank you so much! ^-^
Although, Adeleine wasn't an invader, Meta Knight was telling her at this rate, being the only line of defense, he wouldn't be able to stop them all.
That's when Adeleine says that if invaders land on Popstar, she would take care of them, making Meta Knight realize that the newer generation is now here to help!
@@KimiOmegaah I see that definitely makes more sense and that's a really great message to convey without any dialogue per sae very well done I really like the way you've written the characters in this series with meta knight taking up the primary role of defending Dreamland from outside threats and Adeline and the company fulfilling the role of "Kirby" or "hero's in training" who will take his place in the future it's all so much amazing world building you've really outdone yourself keep up the amazing work take all the time you need 😁😆
@@spirittail4958 Thank you for the kind words! I'll do my best for the remaining episodes!
5:35 If you can pause it on the FIRST FRAME when it cut to The Company, you can see LostOne copied Meta Knight's wing.
Bro how did you find that
Omg LostOne does
Yeah I saw this too I like how Lostone being so oddly lost in thought represents the traitlessness of the "copy" copy ability and it immediately poofing away when he comes into frame shows how he hasn't exactly mastered that power yet or he's just hiding the fact he copied him when he looked over regardless it's such amazing detail which I don't think we've ever seen before outside of I think reincarnations where he copied bitterone but I could be remembering that wrong
5:04 I just realized that it’s a dark grim version of the Legendary Air Ride song from Kirby Air Ride 😂
This is very cool Kimi. I can tell what the story is like without dialogue but with visuals, And you nail it perfectly. Nice job.
Thank you so much, bud!
Seeing these always brings me such tremendous joy.
Thank you so much, Kuriie!!!
I AM SCREAMING IN HAPPINESS OMG... You have done nothing but made my life better now. I remember watching your videos years ago and I still remember it. I remember those old videos of the few episodes!! I FREAKING LOVE YOUR WORK!
Thank you for watching the series and the words of encouragement!!
@@KimiOmega AAAAAAA NNPP!!!! 😸😸😸🫶🫶
It's so amazing how well a story can be told without a single word being said by anyone in the scene.~
Wonderful work once again, Kimi!
That flashback actually made me tear up. I LOVE how Dedede is written in this. Wanted to give the guy a hug ;_;
Update: Why did an older Kirby make me cry. He's just an old man. I remember watching Right Back at ya and always loved when Meta showed up. ❤
I'm so happy!!! The Battleship Halberd along with it's owner is so intimidating and cool!!
But man, DDD really did screw up didn't he. Poor MK, just doing his duty as per usual, but even he needs help sometimes.
I loved seeing the lore behind this, and the clearing up of misunderstandings! The offering of dinner was so nice and gives me warm fuzzy feels!
Hopefully now that Ado and her 10 babs are aware of the situation, things may take a turn for the better!
Meta knight's digital wings are SO cool!! The story implications from the lack of kirby could make for some really cool plot, which i'm all in for! Excellent work, as always! ^^
Meta Knight with holographic wings is THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! I especially love the graphics that show up when they're damaged.
I WAS JUST GONNA WATCH PREVIOUS EPISODES BUT WOW NEW EPISODE 10 MINUTES AGO LETS GOOO
Oh heck yeah this episode is so cool!! :D Amazing work!! ^^
Thanks, Rax!
The way i rushed to your channel after seeing that the new episode is out is insane
also amazing episode keep up thr great work
I really dig your series' more serious episodes, they're really neat!
Also wow, that Legendary Air Machine melody at the end! So cool!
Such a cool episode!! Really neat atmosphere in this one. And I love your take on Meta Knight!! 🤩
@@jessejayjones Thanks, Yesse!! 💜💜
Best Meta Knight ever! He looks so edgy and badass! Best design I've seen for ages!
So before Adeline met the Squad, this dimension was essentially a world without a Kirby.
I like how through the text conversations, we now know that adaline had a brother, and why she has the demon wings and tail tatoo
Reminds me of Uzi
I love how this is basically a what if scenario in a world where Kirby never existed. And I really love the designs for everyone
Here comes da Borb
*Do-DO-do-DOO~*
It’s crazy how you keep making your work even better! Your idea of making Meta Knight have cybers wings reminds me of how cool Mecha Knight could’ve been in Robobot
Wow. The design of meta knight looks really cool!!!!!
I never considered the idea having holes for the mouth to speak (or speakers) or electric wings! Really cool new take on Meta Knight
So this is what really went down on Meta Knight’s Revenge lol
I love learning her back story and meta knight content??? You spoil us.... Amazing as usual!
0:45 It tasted so bad he turned into crinkle paper
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm always happy for new episodes of this series :3
that meta knight design is so freaking badass, I love the redesigns you have given the cast it gives a new fresh coat of paint to the whole scene good job
This is amazing! I love it a lot! Seeing g this has helped brighten my day!
Aw, well I'm glad I could help a little bit!
Nice video you made and meta Knight true revel his face of Kirby the whole time him and king Dedede are friends working together
2:42 metaknight's revenge title screen jingle spoted
The kirby guardian cinematic universe is expanding omgggggggggg
Oh man, I love this. It's so cool that you incorporated Meta Knight's history from the games into this series and put your own spin on it!
First of all the neat flower forming a 3 star door from the games
And 7:43 *I* *SAW* *WHAT* *YOU* *DID* *THERE* The fanfics wont stop
THIS EPISODE IS AMAZING!!! I LOVE YOUR DESIGN FOR META KNIGHT, AND THE ACTION BETWEEN META KNIGHT AND DEDEDE WAS EPIC!!! I just CANNOT wait to see more from you dude ❤
Cheers, mate! I'll keep on doing my best! ^o^
King Dedede further proves why he's my absolute favorite King of Dreamland. And finally seeing Meta Knight is something to marvel, but tragic given he only has one hand now. You never miss a beat, KimiOmega. Looking forward to the next episode.
Ain't no way i found you just the moment you uploaded the video😮.
I actuallt love these animations they are so high quality and fun to watch.
Oh! Well, welcome aboard!
This series really needs more recognition. The Animation to the lore is insane!
I really like this very good concept and realization of what would happen in a world without Kirby, which we all know, and how the inhabitants of Dream Land defend themselves from external dangers on their own.
I also love the fact that without a Kirby protecting Dream Land, King Dedede takes his job as king a bit more seriously. I suppose Meta Knight might challenge or be angry with King Dedede because he might not have been doing a good job at that moment and had been resting all this time. I assume he let him live in that death battle since she was there, but he had his reasons for being angry with Dedede, as he has a heavy workload defending Dream Land all this time, leaving him no time to rest. It seems he had to fight in so many battles that Meta Knight had to improve his technology much more, making this Meta Knight much more advanced than the original.
Also, while recounting his story, I loved the fact that he was very surprised by what she told him. Apparently, while adeleine does prevent major threats, she handles the threats that manage to bypass her defense system, defending Dream Land very well in that part of the world. After hearing her story, he changes his perspective on Meta Knight.
Honestly, I love your videos and how you expand the story you are creating. Above all, I love the direction you are giving to this great and sweet story, in my opinion.
Thank you very much for continuing to do this great work and project. I hope you have a great Halloween
I have to say it’s really cool to see Meta Knight for the first time this episode. Back when I was in my middle school years either 2014 or 2015, I got super smash bros brawl on the Wii during Christmas. Meta knight was my character to play as. I also had a meta knight amiibo I bought last year or the year before.
You really did a cool job with this animation KimiOmega and we are hoping on seeing meta knight again in another episode.
THAT METAKNIGHT DESIGN IS SO COOOL WHAT!!!!?????!?!?!
Metaknight: Sorry I Replaced You In The Squad!
