Meta Knight didn't just fend off a pack of beasts one time. He's the reason the waddle dees in forgotten land are even alive. When Kirby was adventuring around, he apparently whooped gorimondo's ass a minimun of 20 times, which stopped him from attacking waddle dee town.
I think the reason he didn't help Kirby fight off dark metal knight was another form of chivalry respect, as I think he thought of it as Kirby's fight. Although I'm not too knowledgeable of the Kirby lore, so this is pure speculation
Also, I think the reason DeeDee and Meta Knight fought Kirby instead of explaining the situation was due to sheer panic at letting him get close. Sure, a bit out of character for Meta Knight possibly, but I think I could see Dedede being like that (Again, I don't know much about Kirby, so if I got anything wrong, please feel free to yell at me)
Also, to add onto this point, there is the fact that the ending shows the 4 Kirby's leaving the Mirror World, it could be argued that the Fight with Dark Meta Knight could have been 4 Kirby's vs 1 Dark Meta Knight canonically, so he might of thought that he wasn't needed to help (especially so since Kirby could have likely called them up to help fight DMK as well) :)
@@TopHatMacadamia Let's see, Kirby, a literal god killer and possibly a god itself, + 3 perfect copies of itself, all 4 acting in perfect synchronicity, vs Dark Meta Knight and then Dark Mind, and adding to Kirby's team the knight who defeated the MOST POWERFUL WARRIOR IN THE GALAXY, Yeah, I think I see why Meta Knight didn't think a 5v1 was necessary or even fair
I interpret the Amazing Mirror thing as Meta Knight not having enough time to get in the portal. That thing closes right after Galaxia (or Master in this game) is tossed in so Meta Knight saw the portal closing and lent a hand in the best way he could.
@@Theorangebuffoon7428Meta Knight's actions in Squeak Squad could be attributed to him sometimes not thinking everything through. He bum rushed into the Mirror World which got him ambushed, he flew his significantly smaller Halberd to the Access Ark and after it got decimated probably flew into enemy headquarters with no plan and got ambushed again. He probably got corrupted by taking zero precautions with the Jamba Hearts in Star Allies as well if I were to put money on it. I'm not saying Meta Knight's stupid, just that he can be a bit impulsive despite his experience as a warrior.
Probably why Metaknight has a huge army of minions at his disposal confirmed mainly by waddle'dees and the waddle'dees stand out for being very disciplined beings and masters in many professions, there are all kinds, cooks, technicians, mechanics, electrical and security, How did he convince them to join his army? He probably offered them a job opportunity and to stay on the halberd in addition to having almost unlimited resources such as energy and food and probably some salary or maybe he has also submitted or forced them but that doesn't fit with the current Metaknight and with the classic one I see it as reliable but not so much Where does Metaknight get so much money to maintain his ship and crew? Maybe he's a bounty hunter who caught criminals on a daily basis or maybe King DDD paid him when Metaknight was still your washbasin and this was saved over the years.
I would like to clarify that in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Meta Knight is shown vigilantly watching over Waddle Dee town because Gorimondo (the 1st world boss) has attacked the town previously. It states in one of the figurines that Meta Knight had successfully defeated Gorimondo 30-0 before and during Kirby’s adventures. While Gorimondo isn’t as powerful as other threats like Galacta Knight, Meta Knight certainly deserves a higher placement for protecting the town successfully while Kirby is away.
I agree with the rankings, but I think you sold him as a bit too weak. Yeah, he lost to Kirby a bunch, but Kirby is literally an eldritch being of unfatomable power, love and good vibes
I agree. He literally says that he's the strongest warrior in the galaxy, except for Kirby at least, since we see Kirby beat Galacta Knight in the arenas and he also beats Meta Knight.
He also sets his minions on you. It actually implies the main traits he's known for to this day already applied: he's willing to honor his duty to protect the star rod piece but would prefer Nightmare was vanquished, so he both helps and tests/attacks Kirby so Kirby can deal with Nightmare once he's freed.
The pause description in star allies says Meta Knight was secretly always capable of all those new moves, he just didn't know it until the heart's corruption awakened the skills, which is proven in the very next game where he uses the new moves again despite not being corrupted or controlled by anything
I like how there is a canon explanation for why Kirby isn't the strongest warrior. Because he not a warrior, he's canonically a god. He's the good version of the monster you fight at the end of star allies
IIRC the devs purposely made it unclear if Void Termina was actually a god or not since they didn't feel it was completely right for Kirby to fight one. In another interview, they said not to completely trust Hyness since he was insane during Star Allies. They also wanted to make it vague if if they were related or not. Arguing that the reason Void Termina copied his face could've been because Kirby is the first thing it saw since being reawakened With all that being said though, I still believe they're related. Since it explains so many things like Dark Nebula's, Gooey's, and Miracle Matter's Copy Abilities
@@Faniwa828 The way I see it (or my personal headcannon at least), Kirby is a good incarnation of Dark Matter (or Void, whichever it is) but he is incarnated as a star warrior, the same species as Meta Knight. Since he is essentially a god, he would have otherworldly abilities like his copy abilities. I, personally, believe that Meta Knight engages with Kirby the way he does because 1.) His chivalry dictates him to (not typically doing 2v1's so he lets Kirby do it himself and _usually_ giving Kirby a weapon before fighting) and 2.) He's attempting to mentor Kirby due to how young he is (physically and mentally)...y'know, after he tried taking over Dreamland because they were lazy.....
Just a nitpick, Meta Knight is not edgy. The definition of edgy simply doesn't apply to him. Dark Meta Knight is edgy, 100%, but not normal Meta Knight. He is stoic, serious, and likes hiding his face and fighting the main character sure, but none of that makes him edgy. He is also honorable, heroic, selfless, and kind, which doesn't spell edgy at all. I know this is a small thing to be stuck on, but I just personally hate it when people misuse the word edgy and just label any stoic and serious character with it. It just feels disingenuous.
I did always love how in return to dreamland meta knight survived the longest out of the companions while on the other dimension ride, by deflecting some attacks where the other 2 practically got hit immediately
4:52 Don't you get it? Meta Knight is the kind of person that prefers a fair 1v1, he couldn't beat his dark version so he decided to let Kirby do the job for him.
The meta-knights were not introduced in super star, they've been with him since the start (they were a recurring midboss summoned by Meta Knight back in Kirby's adventure)
That’s yours? Ayo I’ll pin your comment and you can add links to your other stuff. Great work, it was impossible to find a meta knight that showed any emotion lol.
10:11 I think it was revealed in a Miiverse post that the Meta-Knights repaired the Halberd again while Meta Knight was under control. Which is weird because you'd assume that Haltmann would raid his ship after knocking it down, but nope. Just take over Dedede's blimp instead
In every form of media the sword is the most important possession of a knight so the fact that he gives Kirby his sword in both Amazing Mirror and In Forgotten Land shows that he truly respects Kirby and he knows that Kirby is a god compared to his strength. Side note: I think it would be really cool if we could see Kirby's and Meta Knight's home planet. It is heavily implied that Galacta Knight is also the same Species as Kirby and Meta Knight, so Kirby's species is probably one of the most powerful species in the universe because every character of that species that we have seen so far is basically a god
There is no clear origin to the knight species, it's implied that kirby has no homeworld and that he was created as a result of feeding positive emotions to a void incarnation.
The destined rivals is likely a reference to Kirby right back at ya! Where Meta knight "works" for Dedede as an enforcer. But all he does is look cool and mooch off Dedede as he embezzles the citizens of Dream land in order to build his spaceship.
Should mention: Meta Knight only loses to Dark Meta Knight at the start of Amazing Mirror because he was ambushed. In a fair fight, Meta Knight would have defeated Dark Meta Knight, as seen in DMK's Star Allies trailer. It's more than likely that Meta Knight is still recovering from the damage Dark Meta Knight did to him, since as seen in Kirby's Squeak Squad, he doesn't hold back in fights for the fate of the world.
Jeremy didnt you forget that after you beat Meta Knight in Forgotten Land you get his sword. so he yet again gives Kirby the tools to win the game? he seems pretty darn useful here and i think he should have been elite.
You know meta knight isn't easily control. He always fight the control like the heart, he still give you a sword, in yarn adventures, he try many time to gain back control. He didn't help kirby maybe because he knew that he wouldn't be able to help him much. In amazing mirror he maybe didn't had time to go in the portal after dark meta knight defeat. Only the robot control was enough to make him fully obedient
12:21 to be fair he is the strongest Warrior that _isnt a literal god_ Kirby's the literal definition of destruction only because of void and yet chooses to eat during half of his existence on popstar
I appreciate the placement in Robobot Meta Knight, he is clearly not fit to face the boss fight, but he has put a lot of effort to help Kirby succeed in his win. How nice of em to make sure Kirby landed safely in the end
First off, Meta Knight being able to take on Galacta Knight all by himself and therefore being the strongest warrior? Not technically canon. The Meta Knightmare modes are not canon to the main Kirby timeline, so Meta Knight may or may not be that powerful. Benefit of the doubt, though, he probably can take down Galacta Knight and become the strongest warrior in the galaxy. The reason why he can't beat Kirby is because... Kirby isn't a warrior. He's an eldritch being who is thankfully also a nice and happy ball of cuteness. He doesn't train to fight, has no true style with weapons. He just copies what others can do, hence why he's not a warrior. Meta Knight, however, IS a warrior, hence why he has the ability to be a candidate for strongest warrior in the galaxy.
While it would kinda take away the whole mystery aspect of him, it would be great if the next Kirby game finally gave us the much needed information on Meta Knight we’ve all been really wanting. Or at least I’ve been wanting. Come on Hal, I just want to know his backstory!
A thing that isn't noted during the fight in Kirby's Adventure is primarily he is testing Kirby throughout the game. It is why he also helps by giving healing items despite sicking his minions on you. It is really a test to see if Kirby is ready to take on Nightmare since his release is kind of inevitable Same could probably be said for his encounter in Squeak Squad, although his more aggressive fighting style does indicate he isn't sure on if Kirby should even take on Dark Nebula.
The game doesn't make it super clear, but Meta Knight lost and got trapped by DMK in the mirror so I assume that in the endgame he was too injured to directly fight with Kirby. Also Meta Knight likes to leave fights to Kirby he knows he can win, I assume is a chivarly thing.
Tbf, him and dedede do both refuse to explain things to kirby but in all fairness kirby is essentailly a baby In the kirby right back at ya anime there are times when characters try to explain things to kirby but he just doesnt undwrstand because hes just a child
6:45 "Meta knight knows and doesn't bother to explain to kirby" bro i died LMFAO imagine meta knight calmly explaining to kirby that he's got a box of baddie and then they just... don't fight, game's over LMFAO
The Meta-Knights actually first appeared in Kirby's Adventure. Meta Knight occasionally showed up throughout the levels to sick them onto Kirby. Actually, I'm surprised you didn't mention that. Or how he would also randomly show up to give him items like Invincibility Candies
*my ranking (prepare for all the "elite"s) Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dreamland (especially) - elite Kirby's Pinball Land - worthless (which is disappointing for his OP standards because here, while not too mean-spirited, he also barely feels like an actual character) Kirby's Avalanche - pretty badass (which is one of the few things this game got right; yeah, because of the amazing quality of Kirby games, it can be considered Kirby Super Star/Ultra (especially) - elite Kirby Right Back At Ya! - elite (with the best performance by a 4Kidz actor whom in this case would have to be Eric Stuart at that time in the mid-2000s, I was thinking about whether or not to eventually making a Kirby movie with Antonio Banderas as Meta Knight, Timothee Chalamet as Kirby and Ray Romano as King DeDeDe) Kirby's Air Ride - pretty badass (okay, for an unlockable character, perhaps he may have his nitpicks when you play as him, but still, Meta Knight and most Kirby games including this one are too awesome to be ranked "Mid-a Knight" at best) Kirby and the Amazing Mirror - barely does anything Kirby Canvas Course - barely does anything Kirby Squeak Squad - pretty badass Kirby's Epic Yarn - barely does anything (and yet this game is epic, no pun intended) Kirby's Return to Dream Land/Deluxe - elite Kirby Planet Robobot - elite Kirby Battle Royale - Mid-a Knight Kirby Star Allies - pretty badass (a similar ranking to this game because while it objectively could've done more than what it had, even with the updates, as a Kirby game that can be considered mid at worst, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with it) Kirby Super Clash - worthless Kirby Fighters 2 - Mid-a Knight Kirby and the Forgotten Land - pretty badass (but not as badass as the game, lol)
In my school vr game, there's a side quest line called Meta Knightmare and it is elite (he has 5 bosses like, Dark Shadow from My Hero Academia, The Shade Lord from Hollow knight, The Levthiathen Grim from RWBY, Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony and finally Sera From Hazbin Hotel)
I like how after his boss battle in Superstar, he runs off, picks up a new mask, and then continues to chase after Kirby. Gotta keep up appearances. And I respect him for that.
In the manual of Kirby's adventure, it said that Dedede tried to talk with Kirby about why he split the star rod. But, Kirby doesn't want to hear him, so he went directly to recover the pieces ignoring the "try" of warning from Dedede.
But also in this manual Kirby is speaking so.... I don't know if its canon In addition to this, in the japanese manual (the original), Kirby also talks and the story is the same as above.
Theres a very good reason kirby isnt considered when meta knights called the strongest warrior in the universe. Kirby isnt a warrior, he fights if he needs to, but he much prefers sleeping and eating.
I've always thought his role in Kirby Fighters 2 was weird. He doesn't strike me as somebody who would team up with Dedede for the sole purpose of petty revenge. At least without some ulterior motives
Didn't Kirby's Adventure start the running thing of Meta Knight being the one to throw powerups like invincible candy for Kirby to use onto the level, or did they add that in later?
WOAH He does way more in kirby battle royale than just be an unlockable character. he is the strongest opponent other than king dedede and is the penultimate opponent in the Cake Royale (or main story mode). Everyone throughout the game including bandana waddle dee (who is your teammate) constantly talks about how fearsome and strong he is.
Technically kirby never fought Meta Knight to the fullest because the fight ends when his mask breaks, never really a knock out. Also really cool fact!: Fully corrupted Meta knight bosses has NEVER wielded Galacta (his sword).
Tbh i see metaknights inclusion in amazing mirror to be way stronger then you say. He jumps into action right away and yes he sits back and watches kirby fight dark meta knight on his own but during the final scene when he throws his sword, I've always seen that as him not having time to follow kirby in, so rather then leave him defenseless he throws in his own sword to help kirby in the only way he can in that moment
I just want to point out that Meta knight was easily mind controlled by yin yarn but Forgo failed to get him PROVING yin yarn is the strongest kirby boss ever
I think In the games where he sits on the side to let Kirby do most or all of the work is just because he wants Kirby to become a better and stronger hero. That’s basically why he does it in the TV show. I think that can easily translate to his reasoning in the games too, most of the time.
)9:20 Meta Knight does show up in page 18 of the Secret Diary in Rainbow Curse (he looks weird). If Pinball Land gets to be in the WORTHLESS tier then Rainbow Curse also deserves a spot in the WORTHLESS tier
I think the rain kirby isn't the strongest warrior in the galaxy is because he isn't a warrior, he's a hero, and that slight technicality keeps that title away from him
I think the reason metaknight seems useless in a lot of appearences is because he is dreamlands first line of defense, kirby doesnt even realize that something happened until metaknight either failed to or chose not to stop a threat
My headcannon for metaknightmare and metaknightmare ultra is that meta knight forgot his cape in the all powerful washing machines that are the dream fountain and nova
Every game Kirby’s in that takes place in dream land or planet popstar but doesn’t include Meta Knight is a automatic S in uselessness because Meta Knight ALWAYS fights the biggest threat before Kirby even wakes up which is how he usually ends up captured or on the enemy team, which means the mf just straight up doesn’t give a shit when he genuinely should like in Triple Deluxe
Meta Knight didn't just fend off a pack of beasts one time. He's the reason the waddle dees in forgotten land are even alive. When Kirby was adventuring around, he apparently whooped gorimondo's ass a minimun of 20 times, which stopped him from attacking waddle dee town.
I liked how the enemies weren't stupid in that respect. They keep trying to recapture the dees while Kirby is away.
Given how gorimondo is, yeah Meta knight would be able to whoop him and the leopard
Yeah Meta Knight is the reason all the waddle dees you save STAY saved.
I think the reason he didn't help Kirby fight off dark metal knight was another form of chivalry respect, as I think he thought of it as Kirby's fight. Although I'm not too knowledgeable of the Kirby lore, so this is pure speculation

Meta Knight's real feat is somehow rebuilding his ship faster each time its wrecked. Like seriously, that thing is huge, how does he do it
Right!
He has a whole order of knights, like, he is an actual chapter master with servants, workers and lands to his name.
He probably has a bunch in stocks somewhere, with how many minions he seems to have, I wouldn't be surprised if they just built it back.
Probably why Metaknight has a huge army of minions at his disposal confirmed mainly by waddle'dees and the waddle'dees stand out for being very disciplined beings and masters in many professions, there are all kinds, cooks, technicians, mechanics, electrical and security, How did he convince them to join his army? He probably offered them a job opportunity and to stay on the halberd in addition to having almost unlimited resources such as energy and food and probably some salary or maybe he has also submitted or forced them but that doesn't fit with the current Metaknight and with the classic one I see it as reliable but not so much Where does Metaknight get so much money to maintain his ship and crew?

I’d say the reason Meta Knight is still the greatest warrior in the galaxy is because Kirby isn’t a warrior, he’s a friend :)
Best excuse for Meta Knight in amazing mirror is that he's injured and would only drag Kirby down
In every form of media the sword is the most important possession of a knight so the fact that he gives Kirby his sword in both Amazing Mirror and In Forgotten Land shows that he truly respects Kirby and he knows that Kirby is a god compared to his strength.
Side note: I think it would be really cool if we could see Kirby's and Meta Knight's home planet. It is heavily implied that Galacta Knight is also the same Species as Kirby and Meta Knight, so Kirby's species is probably one of the most powerful species in the universe because every character of that species that we have seen so far is basically a god
There is no clear origin to the knight species, it's implied that kirby has no homeworld and that he was created as a result of feeding positive emotions to a void incarnation.
The destined rivals is likely a reference to Kirby right back at ya! Where Meta knight "works" for Dedede as an enforcer. But all he does is look cool and mooch off Dedede as he embezzles the citizens of Dream land in order to build his spaceship.

It's more than likely that Meta Knight is still recovering from the damage Dark Meta Knight did to him, since as seen in Kirby's Squeak Squad, he doesn't hold back in fights for the fate of the world.

The game doesn't make it super clear, but Meta Knight lost and got trapped by DMK in the mirror so I assume that in the endgame he was too injured to directly fight with Kirby.
Also Meta Knight likes to leave fights to Kirby he knows he can win, I assume is a chivarly thing.
Im gonna take a guess that Meta Knight was still injured from his duel in amazing mirror
That’s a solid theory didn’t consider that 🤷♂️
@@jeremymklinger Or the fact that canonically it was the 4 kirbys vs Dark Meta Knight and Dark Mind.
6:07 **High Quality rip plays**
I noticed the SiIvaGunner rip too
Tbf, him and dedede do both refuse to explain things to kirby but in all fairness kirby is essentailly a baby
In the kirby right back at ya anime there are times when characters try to explain things to kirby but he just doesnt undwrstand because hes just a child
6:45 "Meta knight knows and doesn't bother to explain to kirby" bro i died LMFAO imagine meta knight calmly explaining to kirby that he's got a box of baddie and then they just... don't fight, game's over LMFAO
2:01 he was going to start an ACTUAL WAR to get the citizens of dreamland to be less lazy.
That's crazy man.
The Meta-Knights actually first appeared in Kirby's Adventure. Meta Knight occasionally showed up throughout the levels to sick them onto Kirby. Actually, I'm surprised you didn't mention that. Or how he would also randomly show up to give him items like Invincibility Candies
Meta Knight is an amazing character all around though boss, or ally. I like how most of his portrayal's led to him having great moments too.
We got Smash bros Kirby as a power up, give us Brawl Meta Knight as a power up.
Meta Knight started out as Kirby's Metal Sonic but ever since Meta's Revenge he's been more of a Shadow the Hedgehog
Sad news, every Meta Knightmare gamemode is actually not canon to the story
*my ranking (prepare for all the "elite"s)
Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dreamland (especially) - elite
Kirby's Pinball Land - worthless (which is disappointing for his OP standards because here, while not too mean-spirited, he also barely feels like an actual character)
Kirby's Avalanche - pretty badass (which is one of the few things this game got right; yeah, because of the amazing quality of Kirby games, it can be considered
Kirby Super Star/Ultra (especially) - elite
Kirby Right Back At Ya! - elite (with the best performance by a 4Kidz actor whom in this case would have to be Eric Stuart at that time in the mid-2000s, I was thinking about whether or not to eventually making a Kirby movie with Antonio Banderas as Meta Knight, Timothee Chalamet as Kirby and Ray Romano as King DeDeDe)
Kirby's Air Ride - pretty badass (okay, for an unlockable character, perhaps he may have his nitpicks when you play as him, but still, Meta Knight and most Kirby games including this one are too awesome to be ranked "Mid-a Knight" at best)
Kirby and the Amazing Mirror - barely does anything
Kirby Canvas Course - barely does anything
Kirby Squeak Squad - pretty badass
Kirby's Epic Yarn - barely does anything (and yet this game is epic, no pun intended)
Kirby's Return to Dream Land/Deluxe - elite
Kirby Planet Robobot - elite
Kirby Battle Royale - Mid-a Knight
Kirby Star Allies - pretty badass (a similar ranking to this game because while it objectively could've done more than what it had, even with the updates, as a Kirby game that can be considered mid at worst, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with it)
Kirby Super Clash - worthless
Kirby Fighters 2 - Mid-a Knight
Kirby and the Forgotten Land - pretty badass (but not as badass as the game, lol)
In my school vr game, there's a side quest line called Meta Knightmare and it is elite (he has 5 bosses like, Dark Shadow from My Hero Academia, The Shade Lord from Hollow knight, The Levthiathen Grim from RWBY, Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony and finally Sera From Hazbin Hotel)
Kirby isn't a warrior he is a guardian
Please do this with Diddy Kong next.
I agree
I like how after his boss battle in Superstar, he runs off, picks up a new mask, and then continues to chase after Kirby.
Gotta keep up appearances. And I respect him for that.
6:04 i was not expecting the reference to kirby gamble galaxy stories but it does make me glad to see the fangame get recognition
Lmao one of my favourite games ever
But gamble galaxy is an actual kirby area, it's the final level of squeak squad
@@Technicolor-vo7ii damn, my mistake, i never fully played kirby squeak squad
I like the idea that he was testing Kirby through Adventure to make sure he could fight Nightmare
Ok so the invading purple stuff in star allies is the remnants of an ancient dark god. So makes sense why he couldn’t do much
He still offer a sword to kirby so he wasn't fully control unlike the mecha knight
dosen't meta knight appear in the collectable bonuses in rainbow curse including his amiibo costume counterpart for kirby
In revenge of Meta Knight, he’s just a Kirby version of Sportacus
In the manual of Kirby's adventure, it said that Dedede tried to talk with Kirby about why he split the star rod. But, Kirby doesn't want to hear him, so he went directly to recover the pieces ignoring the "try" of warning from Dedede.
But also in this manual Kirby is speaking so.... I don't know if its canon
In addition to this, in the japanese manual (the original), Kirby also talks and the story is the same as above.
"Come back when you can put up a fight !"
@@darkomatto4163 🥶
mmm yes black kirby
He's blue
@@CassandraJones-d1l He's dark blue
@@sasv29 That's not black
Kibry
@@CassandraJones-d1l I know
When sans is in Revenge of Meta Knight (METTATON?!!?!!!?!): welp, *gaster blasters entire ship* *kills Meta Knight*
Did SilvaGunner get you with one of their rips? lol
7:50 "huh, guess I'll die." -Meta Knight
Theres a very good reason kirby isnt considered when meta knights called the strongest warrior in the universe.
Kirby isnt a warrior, he fights if he needs to, but he much prefers sleeping and eating.
I've always thought his role in Kirby Fighters 2 was weird. He doesn't strike me as somebody who would team up with Dedede for the sole purpose of petty revenge. At least without some ulterior motives
11:56 actually, meta k and king d are both heros from popstar way before Kirby arrives, they work together sometimes
12:08 Meta Knight and Dedede trying to be like Mario & Luigi
Avalanche isn't even a ripoff. It's Poyo Poyo reskinned so that it would sell in the States. Same thing with Robotnic's Mean Bean Machine.
Forgot to mention the invincible candies he gifts Kirby in Adventure
THAT'S 3 WORDS "smacks with a long sandwhich"
Didn't Kirby's Adventure start the running thing of Meta Knight being the one to throw powerups like invincible candy for Kirby to use onto the level, or did they add that in later?
3:01 say that again?
Can we get a Meta Knight video game now? Show his origin story please!
WOAH He does way more in kirby battle royale than just be an unlockable character. he is the strongest opponent other than king dedede and is the penultimate opponent in the Cake Royale (or main story mode). Everyone throughout the game including bandana waddle dee (who is your teammate) constantly talks about how fearsome and strong he is.
Technically kirby never fought Meta Knight to the fullest because the fight ends when his mask breaks, never really a knock out.
Also really cool fact!: Fully corrupted Meta knight bosses has NEVER wielded Galacta (his sword).
Tbh i see metaknights inclusion in amazing mirror to be way stronger then you say. He jumps into action right away and yes he sits back and watches kirby fight dark meta knight on his own but during the final scene when he throws his sword, I've always seen that as him not having time to follow kirby in, so rather then leave him defenseless he throws in his own sword to help kirby in the only way he can in that moment
if one of the games was Brawl then that's an vary easy elite
Meta-knight it’s like shadow, but uses a sword instead of a gun
I just want to point out that Meta knight was easily mind controlled by yin yarn but Forgo failed to get him PROVING yin yarn is the strongest kirby boss ever
I think In the games where he sits on the side to let Kirby do most or all of the work is just because he wants Kirby to become a better and stronger hero. That’s basically why he does it in the TV show. I think that can easily translate to his reasoning in the games too, most of the time.
4:54 counter argument for this, Meta Knight know Kirby could call hus friend to help him instead which is why Meta Knight let Kirby to do it
8:42 bro forgot abt kirby nightmare in dream land 😭🙏
I did! 😂
Nightmare in dreamland was PEAK and you cant tell me otherwise
Give dedede credit in adventure the manual reveals that he TRIED to tell kirby but the pink puff ignored him
)9:20 Meta Knight does show up in page 18 of the Secret Diary in Rainbow Curse (he looks weird). If Pinball Land gets to be in the WORTHLESS tier then Rainbow Curse also deserves a spot in the WORTHLESS tier
Meta Knight in Super Smash Bros Brawl is his real raw strength
Meta Knight is such a cool lil guy I love him
Who doesn’t?! (The manga writers probably, but we don’t talk about that-)
I think just because it is off screen, his part in Kirby and the Forgotten Land is great
I think the rain kirby isn't the strongest warrior in the galaxy is because he isn't a warrior, he's a hero, and that slight technicality keeps that title away from him
Meta Knight really doesn't do much if you think about it
Not to be Annoying but he does appear in blow out blast as an unlock-able statue in the hub area via amibo
I think the reason metaknight seems useless in a lot of appearences is because he is dreamlands first line of defense, kirby doesnt even realize that something happened until metaknight either failed to or chose not to stop a threat
kirby isnt a warrior, he is a passive hero who loves food and doesnt want to fight
My headcannon for metaknightmare and metaknightmare ultra is that meta knight forgot his cape in the all powerful washing machines that are the dream fountain and nova
Every game Kirby’s in that takes place in dream land or planet popstar but doesn’t include Meta Knight is a automatic S in uselessness because Meta Knight ALWAYS fights the biggest threat before Kirby even wakes up which is how he usually ends up captured or on the enemy team, which means the mf just straight up doesn’t give a shit when he genuinely should like in Triple Deluxe
