That's the Roche Limit, the distance at which the pull earth's gravity makes is stronger than the force that keeps the meteor together, and so it splits into parts.

2:18 Kirby's face here is just so accurate and perfect. Fecto Elfilis is not the first to think they are a god, not the first to believe the stars and planets should bow to them or be destroyed, not the first to think Kirby is just some lil pink puffball, and darn well won't be the last.

4:41 - 4:51 has to be one of the most intriguing lyrics here. Think about it, Elfillis and Kirby are both 2 incredibly powerful people not native to this world. The big difference between them is that Elfillis is a malicious soul who enacts divine wrath upon any world they come across and Kirby is a kind soul who does whatever it takes to protect what he cares about. It's almost like Elfillis lamenting Kirby's good nature wasting his potential. How ironic that said good nature is part of what ultimately causes Elfillis' defeat (well, at least the defeat of their physical body. That thing is one persistent space rodent).
@@monamulemba7867 Oh, yeah. I'm a frequent viewer of all 3 channels. I was especially locked into MOTI the past month for the Kirby musical bytes since it's my favorite series.
I love, LOVE how arrogant Fecto Elfilis is. How they consider themselves perfection incarnate, referring to themselves in almost entirely cosmic or deific terms to convey how above everything they see themselves as. How they consider everything else primitive and utterly inferior, seeing their violent conquest as the closest these creatures will ever get to share in their power. How they see their apocalyptic intentions as their way of cleansing the universe, viewing any resistance as justification for their crimes. How they demand to be honored as a destroyer and superior lifeform, an inevitable bringer of doom. And how, even when Kirby has them on the ropes, they furiously insist that their victory is assured, as if they cannot even fathom the possibility of being truly bested; choosing to spitefully destroy all planets as petty "retribution" for being denied, just to uphold their god complex. This is a perfect, perfect take on Fecto Elfilis, and a perfectly written song. Bravissimo, MOTI.
I also adore how Elfillis is portrayed both in the lyrics and Forgotten Land as a whole. A being that subjugates world after world only to consider what they're doing righteous due to them being perfect and all others being too pathetic to be left alive. They have a heart/conscience big enough to become its own person but they still choose to go on this path of destruction. Even after their other half is stripped away from them *again,* they cannot accept defeat. Nothing is stronger than them even though they've been tamed twice now. Hell even after the second time, they *still* persist in the post game. It is astounding how highly this being thinks of itself and the lengths they are willing to go to in order to continue their dimensional tirade that had been halted for so long.
@@castform7 Fecto Elfilis having a genuine good side is one of their best aspects to me. They are genuinely capable of positive emotion, yet even before they're captured and Elfilin is split off from Fecto, they're a planet-destroyer from the word "go". An arrogant warrior with an inflated sense of self and an axe to grind against the universe simply for being weaker is simply what they are, even if you don't remove their inherent goodness. In a series filled with villains that are tragic and/or doing evil against their will, redeemable and friendly towards our heroes, or just inherently dark without any capability to even be anything else, Elfilis stands out as a monster entirely out of their own free will.
@@GalvyTheTom Completely agree. You have people like Dedede and Magolor who changed their ways over time. You have Dark Matter literally being incapable of feeling positivity and being actively hurt by it. You have Sectonia and Haltmann who were mostly victims of tragic circumstances and had their minds corrupt far beyond repair. Even the Beast Pack in the same game were chilling until Forgo got to their minds. This monster however is just a bad person. It had the capacity to care and as far as we know it has had no turmoil until it faced the consequence of choosing the wrong planet to rain its wrath upon. With or without its heart, Forgo doesn't want to change its ways. It is selfish, vindictive and destructive on their own volition. The only way to stop it was to violently beat it into complete submission cause nothing would ever change their mind on their actions. I think Kirby pulled off an idea like that perfectly.
@@castform7 I think the best encapsulation of this is Elfilis' response to Elfilin being split from them once again. They are so infuriated by this, so offended that someone would even dare, that they teleport Planet Popstar above the Forgotten Land in an attempt to destroy _both_ worlds. How spiteful, how arrogant do you have to be to respond to defeat by destroying your opponent's entire planet in petty vengeance? Fecto Elfilis is the answer to that.
It's so jarring after so long of essentially listening to Juno's on repeat to hear Stelyos singing different lyrics to the same song. I love the addition of the chorus though!! Both lyrical adaptations are fantastic!
@@alainali6010 that would be the coolest boss rush ever. Imagine a white Elfilis with a flaming sword like the angel protecting Eden, or an Elfilis with a Warhammer. Man, that’d be cool.
“I know Fecto Elfilis has that while Biblically Accurate Angel look going on, but they won’t go too hard will they?” (Immediate Latin Lyrics) “Oh. Oh they are.”
3:37 For those who don't know this is refrencing the fact one of Fecto Elfilis's attacks is called "The Anwser to Fermi's Paradox." The Paradox is that despite the vastness of the universe there are no signs of alien life. The solution proposed by the game is that the reason we haven't seen any alien life is because Fecto Elfilis got to them first
I thought it was called that because alien life might be hostile and it's better if contact is never made since Fecto Elfilis is evidence that not all extraterrestrial life will be peaceful.
@@mewtwoinchernobyland then we see the opposite with Kirby, a god-like being who cares less about destruction and more about making friends with everyone and everything. Insane polar opposites between these two beings.
I like how Elfilis, despite bragging about its perfection, also acknowledges Kirby is no complete rando as it says “I am what you could be if you tried” Still trash talk… but also accepting some minimal admiration in the middle of the other insults
@@Real_Metagross probably, they were one to get around and assuming dark-matter existed before the ancient's left then Elfilis probably encountered it at least once.
Everyone’s pointing out Fermi’s Paradox Answer, but I love how the other attack names are referenced as well (The spear Antares, Kuiper Belt, Moon, Sol, Orbital Pulsar)
I find it amusing how at first, Fecto talks like they’re this unstoppable god. But when Elfilin gets removed, They starts talking like a petty loser who just wants to win.
Kirby stripping it of what it needs to keep going and leaving it unstable probably snapped something in its brain and made it go "screw this and screw you *specifically"*
For anyone who doesn’t know what Antares is, it is a red star in the constellation Scorpio (The Scorpion). It’s location in the constellation make it seems as though it is the heart, hence the line “Strike now, Antares, scorpion’s heart”.
"Cry out your fears to the gods who can't hear your last fading pleas. I am the one who has deafened their ears" is such a sadistically cruel line. Elfilis is basically telling everyone that they can pray all they want; they're still going to die because Elfilis personally made sure that there was no one left save them.
Fecto Elfilis: I am a GOD, you daft creature! Kirby, realizing "vehicular manslaughter" also spells "vehicular man's laughter": But what is a god to a godslayer?
As intense as the latin lyrics are, and as impressive as this fallen angel's wrath is, I can't get these four words out of my head. *And. Here. We. Are.*
Kirby's expression of "this again?" really ties the whole thing together. all of this boasting falling on the deaf ears of one who has encountered worse. have a good day.
@@gotekeeper9519 to me he looks frustrated, not only because he has to deal with this kind of thing again, but because it has his friend as a hostage, and you don’t mess with the pink puff’s friends.
But there's the irony of it. Fecto said they had deafened the ears of the gods... And we all know the most god-like character in the kirby franchise is. So in other words Elfilis did deafen a god's nonexistent ears... It's just said god was currently right Infront of him and wants his friend back no matter how much Latin is telepathically spoken to him in his head.
You all remember when this franchise used to be about a pink puffball trying to get food back from a penguin king? It's very impressive to see how far we've come since then.
1:10 Some people see Kirby's face as one of annoyance, however I see it as a look of determination. Determination to save his friend, even if it means putting this self-proclaimed ultimate lifeform in it's place.
There's such an emphasis on duality here that I really like. Fecto Elfilis is two beings but the duality is also with Kirby. Fecto seems to see Kirby not as some weakling, they see Kirby as the only actual equal here. They're both extraterrestrial invaders, in their eyes, who are superior to this meaningless planet and everything in it. When they say why do you oppose unity, it's not just from splitting Elfilis from them, it's Kirby refusing their offer to wreck the planet. Because why would a god like them, an equal to them who traveled the world and brought them back together, protect a miserable rock?
If I had a nickel for every time Steel voiced an Ultimate Lifeform, I’d had 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice (not that I’m complaining, he did a great job both times).
3:37 This lyric is in reference to Elfilis' meteor attack being named: "Fermi Paradox Answer" in the files (according to WiKirby). The Fermi Paradox is basically the question of "why have we never encountered aliens?"... Much like the attacks name, this lyric is raw as Hell.
Considering the vast amount of genocidal or near genocidal creatures Kirby defeats, I would say Fecto Elfilis is one of the most deadly as just for that attacks name shows he’s omnicidal and already done enough of that.
I have no words for just how awestruck I am listening to this song!! The vocals from both Stelyos and the chorus makes me feel like Im ascending and the art is SO PRETTY! Thank you everyone who worked on this masterpiece! ❤️
I had a feeling this more recent final boss would be included in the Musical Bytes. I don't know why you chose to have the vocals go so unnecessarily hard for a Kirby song, but I'm so glad you did. This is the most power I've ever heard go into Steel's singing, and that's saying something cuz Megalovania exists on this channel.
I like that as the fight went on, Fecto himself seemed to realize this little creature was more than he seemed, even recognizing them as similar, "I'm what you could be if only you tried." He knows full well by that point Kirby could do the whole world destroyer thing, and assumes its just lack of effort that he has not rather than Kirby just not being interested in such things.
I'm fascinated by the pronunciations used for the Latin here! (Language nerdery incoming) For those who aren't already aware, there are two major pronunciation styles of Latin we use: Classical, which is more or less how Latin was formally spoken in the era of the Roman Republic and Empire, and what is usually taught to Latin students; and Ecclesiastical, which is more often used in religious contexts and has a lot of the 'fun' sound changes you see in a lot of European language spellings (e.g., soft c's and g's). Most Latin choral vocals tend to lean toward this latter pronunciation, as far as I've heard. But here, neither style is adhered to perfectly. Best exemplified, I think, by 'vincit'. In Classical, this would be something like 'winkit'; in Ecclesiastical, it would be more like 'vinchit'. But here, the chorus pronounces it as 'vinkit' (or at least, the most prominent voices in it do), which doesn't squarely fit either style. The line 'igne natura renovatur integra' also shows it well: were they only using Classical, the third word would sound more like 'renowatur'; were it Ecclesiastical, the first word would sound more like 'inye'. (I'll spare you any more examples, but there are several more in the song). I'm not complaining whatsoever, of course -- in fact, the pronunciations they use here are how I myself would prefer to pronounce them, an anachronistic combination of the two styles that, most notably, has a 'v' sound but does not soften c's and g's. It's genuinely great! But I do have to wonder why this pronunciation style was used - If it was a deliberate choice on the part of the lyricists or singers with a particular thought process behind it (which I'd love to hear about, if so!), or if it's just what was defaulted to (which is perfectly fine, too), or even if it's, like, some Secret Third Style I've been hitherto unaware of (which, elaborate? Please?)! (Language nerdery ends here) On a slightly separate note, I do love whenever songs get an excuse to include bits of the 'dies irae' poem in their lyrics! Great work as always, y'all!
"Cry out your fears to the gods who can't hear your last fading pleas" (6:59) ... dude, you're talking to a pink puffball who is in every right a god AND a god slayer.
Oh boy, time to go through this and translate all the Latin Alright here it is boys: Vincit qui se vincit: He who overcomes himself wins Igne natura renovatur integra: By fire nature is renewed whole Astra inclinant sed non obligant: The stars incline but do not bind Deus! Ascensus! Deus vincit!: God! Ascent! God wins! Angelus mortis: Angel of Death Stella cadere: Star to fall Dies irae, dies illa: The day of wrath, that day Solvet saeclum in favilla: The world will dissolve into ashes Quantus tremor est futurus: What a trembling there will be Quando judex est venturus: When the judge is going
I love how you represented the dual nature of Elfilis through the references to binary stars and Luna and Sol. Especially the latter given the massive differences in size and influence between the two, just like those between Elfilin and Fecto Forgo.
Fuck yeah! When I saw you were doing music bytes and did Sectonia and Star Dream, I was hoping you’d do Two Planets. Now that’s two professional-grade lyrical covers.
Eh aqui, el que considero el mejor tema final EN 15 AÑOS de todos los videojuegos que conozco... y top 3 en general, que grande el Kirby de verdad. Las Bandas Sonoras que se manda son una maravilla auditiva que merecen ser conservadas para la posteridad PD: Gracias Team MOTI, estos Bytes an sido una locura
i still love the fact that we defeat a god capable of smashing two planets together through dimensions via a ficking semi truck! most hilarious way to defeat a cosmic god i've ever seen
There’s a lyric I really like in this one. “paying for the sins of the father” it has a double meaning one the sins of the society that jailed them. Additionally the father is a title used to refer to god. Elfilils obviously sees themselves as a god, considering the angelic references and the Latin used. So it could mean Kirby is paying for Eflilis’s sin
Definitely as good as Juno's. Very different and distinct despite the same lead voice. I particularly love the addition of a backing chorus for the high notes, I think this song requires it. There is almost always 2 or 3 tracks playing at once, especially in phase 1, and the highs are usually part of one of the tracks that's otherwise less prominent. I’ve found that just one singer usually struggles to replicate this. The same holds if you try to hum/whistle the song; I still can't make it sound right because I can mostly only follow one track at a time and a backing track usually shifts to fronting for the highs. The backing vocals allowed this cover to follow these shifts much more easily than Juno's. Where it doesn’t necessarily improve on Juno's is in musical-lyrical correspondence. I'd say both rate about the same. Both definitely have places where they don’t seem to be trying too meticulously to place a syllable on every note, the way covers of shorter and less complicated music tend to do. Syllables get misplaced and feel like they're not on anything in particular in both. But interestingly, many places where the Juno version hits the 1:1 lineup for a full line or longer, this one misses a few beats, and places where this one hits, that one misses. Taking the parts where each one is hitting on all cylinders and putting that together could be a really interesting exercise and result in something like a definitive performance. But hey, I'm not a musician nor a music theorist. I certainly couldn't do any better, I can’t even whistle this kaiju of a song very accurately, I can only imagine what better might sound like. Both of these are total bangers. Steel is now the canon voice of Elfilis to all of us. Bravo sir, thank you for your service. And y'all can have that interlude. Two extremely different takes on it between the two covers, both totally reasonable ones and both absolutely going their own merry way. Proves what I suspected all along: that shit is structureless and unfollowable. The very idea of lyrical correspondence abandons all hope there; it can only work as backing, pure and simple. I don’t even think I know the tune halfway in my head, and it's been over 2 years now. No thanks, I'm done 😂
Alex took a page out of Monster Hunter's book and decided to add a whole Latin choir to let you know that this is REAL SHIT. I love how different of an approach this took to Juno's, both versions are wonderful. They each have their unique charm, as if Alex's is what's happening on the battlefield itself wile Juno's is more of an internal monologue. It's a lovely duality and I am SUCH a fan. Incredible work on both parts and it's great to have more Elfilis music in the world!
So much Kirby recently...I LOVE IT! And I love the fact that I finally played Forgotten Land after all this time so I can enjoy these songs without spoilers!
I don't think I can properly describe how insane the usage of Latin - sung mostly by a choir, no less! - drives me. In a really, really good way of course. The lyrics sung by the choir really bring to mind followers of a god singing their praises, and really, isn't that what Fecto Elfilis wants? That's always the vibe I've gotten, anyway. A powerful being who is on the cusp of godhood - they only need prove their power. And being angry at being sealed away for who knows how long is understandable. But Elfilis made one mistake: they targeted something under the protection of Kirby.
I feel like 6:13 onwards really encapsulates Fecto Elfilis as a character. (or at least my personal interpretation, lol) They are a twisted being of destruction, one that wishes to conquer, to bring destruction and to rule ("Behold the falling skies, behold the rising tide, if the worlds won't belong to me, _let them all die!"),_ but the scariest part is that _their actions are justified._ I mean, if you came into a foreign country, planet or whatever, and you immediately got captured, held captive for years, held in stasis, used as an exhibit and forced to hear the same recordings over and over and _over_ again, and then... poof, one day you're just abandoned. Left behind, as garbage you'd throw in the bin. Now, doesn't that sound awful? I bet most people would want _some_ level of retribution. That's just about exactly what Fecto Elfilis went through. In their mind, they're justified to bring Hell down onto the Forgotten Land - after all, if its former residents treated them like garbage, why should they treat it any different? ("Behold your dream coming undone! [...] All the smashed masses will see that I've won!") Their aggression to Kirby is similarly understandable - in their eyes, Kirby is not only defending the people who brought them so much misery, he's also actively defusing their efforts, everything they've gone through to get this far! ("This is your fate, I finished what you've begun... Fool, to make two from who was one!") Now, this is not to say that they're not evil - they're still destroying both the New World _and_ Popstar, the latter completely unnecessary, and they seem to... actually somewhat revel in this ("Now I open the gates, what awaits is oblivion!"). And there's some everpresent ego issues showing all throughout the song, but they particularly show here, too! ("The idea that I've lost is naught but a lie! [...] Cry out your fears to the gods who can't hear, your last fading pleas! I am the one who has deafened their ears [...] Elfilis, the end of life!") At the end of it all, I would personally classify Elfilis as a tragic villain, but a villain nonetheless. Very good job!
Just one problem with this interpretation, fecto genocided a lot of people before the forgotten land, tried to do it to the original inhabitants, and is making plans to continue his cosmic killing spree while fighting kirby.
@@evanraynolds8699 Is... any of this ever explicitly said? I've never played Forgotten Land myself, and I've always seen Fecto as a character meant to be open to interpretation.
@@tadeogomez7303 actually yes! The mini figurines said Fecto tried to conquer the planet before, and his meteor attacks are called (apparently all of his attacks have names) "The Fermi Paradox answer". Which pretty much means he destroyed or conquered those alien worlds
I’m curious how well this and Juno’s versions could be edited together since the voice is the same. Regardless, this is a banger. I love how soft spoken Elfilis is here for the most part.
I heard Juno's first, and was confused by hearing steel again Perfect voice for the interstellar rat committing genocide Also, the Latin caught me off guard, but it's fits really well
The Dies Irae motif is actually an interesting choice, not only because of the apocalyptic threat Elfilis is, but it also applies to Kirby, as they are Elfilis' judge. A similar case applies to Morpho Knight, as they seem to serve the role of judge over the dead.

How ironic that said good nature is part of what ultimately causes Elfillis' defeat (well, at least the defeat of their physical body. That thing is one persistent space rodent).

How they see their apocalyptic intentions as their way of cleansing the universe, viewing any resistance as justification for their crimes. How they demand to be honored as a destroyer and superior lifeform, an inevitable bringer of doom. And how, even when Kirby has them on the ropes, they furiously insist that their victory is assured, as if they cannot even fathom the possibility of being truly bested; choosing to spitefully destroy all planets as petty "retribution" for being denied, just to uphold their god complex. This is a perfect, perfect take on Fecto Elfilis, and a perfectly written song. Bravissimo, MOTI.
I also adore how Elfillis is portrayed both in the lyrics and Forgotten Land as a whole. A being that subjugates world after world only to consider what they're doing righteous due to them being perfect and all others being too pathetic to be left alive. They have a heart/conscience big enough to become its own person but they still choose to go on this path of destruction. Even after their other half is stripped away from them *again,* they cannot accept defeat. Nothing is stronger than them even though they've been tamed twice now. Hell even after the second time, they *still* persist in the post game. It is astounding how highly this being thinks of itself and the lengths they are willing to go to in order to continue their dimensional tirade that had been halted for so long.
@@castform7 Fecto Elfilis having a genuine good side is one of their best aspects to me. They are genuinely capable of positive emotion, yet even before they're captured and Elfilin is split off from Fecto, they're a planet-destroyer from the word "go". An arrogant warrior with an inflated sense of self and an axe to grind against the universe simply for being weaker is simply what they are, even if you don't remove their inherent goodness. In a series filled with villains that are tragic and/or doing evil against their will, redeemable and friendly towards our heroes, or just inherently dark without any capability to even be anything else, Elfilis stands out as a monster entirely out of their own free will.
@@GalvyTheTom Completely agree. You have people like Dedede and Magolor who changed their ways over time. You have Dark Matter literally being incapable of feeling positivity and being actively hurt by it. You have Sectonia and Haltmann who were mostly victims of tragic circumstances and had their minds corrupt far beyond repair. Even the Beast Pack in the same game were chilling until Forgo got to their minds. This monster however is just a bad person. It had the capacity to care and as far as we know it has had no turmoil until it faced the consequence of choosing the wrong planet to rain its wrath upon. With or without its heart, Forgo doesn't want to change its ways. It is selfish, vindictive and destructive on their own volition. The only way to stop it was to violently beat it into complete submission cause nothing would ever change their mind on their actions. I think Kirby pulled off an idea like that perfectly.
@@castform7 I think the best encapsulation of this is Elfilis' response to Elfilin being split from them once again. They are so infuriated by this, so offended that someone would even dare, that they teleport Planet Popstar above the Forgotten Land in an attempt to destroy _both_ worlds. How spiteful, how arrogant do you have to be to respond to defeat by destroying your opponent's entire planet in petty vengeance? Fecto Elfilis is the answer to that.
Y sin embargo, Fecto Elfilis no esta ni en el top 7 de seres mas poderosos en el lore de Kirby xd
It's so jarring after so long of essentially listening to Juno's on repeat to hear Stelyos singing different lyrics to the same song.
I love the addition of the chorus though!! Both lyrical adaptations are fantastic!
Yeah same. Hearing Latin at the start instead of "gaze upon the angel's might" did feel weird but in a "this is new and I'm so into it" sort of way.
One cannot deny how much power Steel can deliver. It just proves that no one else can represent this thing any better
@@castform7 Agreed. It felt off, but not so much so that the cover felt bad. Just different.
Agreed that the lyrics being different was really jarring at first, but Steel is honestly a perfect choice here, as far as I'm concerned he is Fecto.

“I know Fecto Elfilis has that while Biblically Accurate Angel look going on, but they won’t go too hard will they?”
(Immediate Latin Lyrics)
“Oh. Oh they are.”
3:37
For those who don't know this is refrencing the fact one of Fecto Elfilis's attacks is called "The Anwser to Fermi's Paradox."
The Paradox is that despite the vastness of the universe there are no signs of alien life.
The solution proposed by the game is that the reason we haven't seen any alien life is because Fecto Elfilis got to them first
I thought it was called that because alien life might be hostile and it's better if contact is never made since Fecto Elfilis is evidence that not all extraterrestrial life will be peaceful.
@@mewtwoinchernobyland then we see the opposite with Kirby, a god-like being who cares less about destruction and more about making friends with everyone and everything. Insane polar opposites between these two beings.
@@mewtwoinchernobyl that's valid! I just think the "Elfilis killed them" works better with the answer to the Fermi's paradox being a meteorite
I've always wondered where this attack name came from. I think someone said it was in a guidebook somewhere.
I like how Elfilis, despite bragging about its perfection, also acknowledges Kirby is no complete rando as it says “I am what you could be if you tried”
Still trash talk… but also accepting some minimal admiration in the middle of the other insults
Less trash talk, it's more like he's admonishing kirby for not pursuing his full potential or/and for not laying claim to his world.
Does... Does elfilis know about the zeros?
I mean, who won in the end?
@@Real_Metagross probably, they were one to get around and assuming dark-matter existed before the ancient's left then Elfilis probably encountered it at least once.
Everyone’s pointing out Fermi’s Paradox Answer, but I love how the other attack names are referenced as well (The spear Antares, Kuiper Belt, Moon, Sol, Orbital Pulsar)
I love the Kirby devs calling fecto’s spear Antares, with it both being a dual star, and in fecto’s case, a dual lifeform.
I find it amusing how at first, Fecto talks like they’re this unstoppable god. But when Elfilin gets removed, They starts talking like a petty loser who just wants to win.
Kirby stripping it of what it needs to keep going and leaving it unstable probably snapped something in its brain and made it go "screw this and screw you *specifically"*
Fecto Elfilis canonically uses they/them pronouns, but other than that you're 100% right, it's honestly really funny when you put it that way
@@captainkawaii666yes Fecto and Efilin really they😂
Not because they're enby, but because they're literally two motherfuckers.@@captainkawaii666
@@captainkawaii666 I'd word it more like they're just sexless, rather than "using" any pronouns, as they probably wouldn't care
For anyone who doesn’t know what Antares is, it is a red star in the constellation Scorpio (The Scorpion). It’s location in the constellation make it seems as though it is the heart, hence the line “Strike now, Antares, scorpion’s heart”.
It's also the name of Fecto Elfilis' spear!
What about “for the light of the binary star”? Is there any reference in that?
@@pikpikgamer1012 Antares is in a binary star system.
"Cry out your fears to the gods who can't hear your last fading pleas. I am the one who has deafened their ears" is such a sadistically cruel line. Elfilis is basically telling everyone that they can pray all they want; they're still going to die because Elfilis personally made sure that there was no one left save them.
Fecto Elfilis: I am a GOD, you daft creature!
Kirby, realizing "vehicular manslaughter" also spells "vehicular man's laughter": But what is a god to a godslayer?
Kirby literally killed actual gods, Fecto is just a break from all the actual gods

As intense as the latin lyrics are, and as impressive as this fallen angel's wrath is, I can't get these four words out of my head.
*And. Here. We. Are.*
Kirby's expression of "this again?" really ties the whole thing together. all of this boasting falling on the deaf ears of one who has encountered worse.
have a good day.
@@gotekeeper9519 to me he looks frustrated, not only because he has to deal with this kind of thing again, but because it has his friend as a hostage, and you don’t mess with the pink puff’s friends.
But there's the irony of it. Fecto said they had deafened the ears of the gods... And we all know the most god-like character in the kirby franchise is. So in other words Elfilis did deafen a god's nonexistent ears... It's just said god was currently right Infront of him and wants his friend back no matter how much Latin is telepathically spoken to him in his head.
Bro really went ‘If I can’t win I’ll just kill us both’ the spite move… *sniff* couldn’t be more proud
My favorite part is from 6:45 until the ending, and that "Elfilis, the end of life!" was absolutely amazing, so powerful!
You all remember when this franchise used to be about a pink puffball trying to get food back from a penguin king?
It's very impressive to see how far we've come since then.
The Elfilis in Juno’s version is the same here.
Which is to say, Steylos, you’re really good!
I love how many godlike entities Kirby has killed at this point, but only one of them has been killed by a truck.
eiflis got isekaided into the mindscaow thing
Heh...the ultimate hit and run!😈
1:10 Some people see Kirby's face as one of annoyance, however I see it as a look of determination. Determination to save his friend, even if it means putting this self-proclaimed ultimate lifeform in it's place.
😡
Well said!
Shadow the hedgehog??!?!??!!??!?!?!??!???!?!?!?!
There's such an emphasis on duality here that I really like. Fecto Elfilis is two beings but the duality is also with Kirby. Fecto seems to see Kirby not as some weakling, they see Kirby as the only actual equal here.
They're both extraterrestrial invaders, in their eyes, who are superior to this meaningless planet and everything in it.
When they say why do you oppose unity, it's not just from splitting Elfilis from them, it's Kirby refusing their offer to wreck the planet. Because why would a god like them, an equal to them who traveled the world and brought them back together, protect a miserable rock?
Honestly, this is probably the last song I’d have guessed you guys would do, but it came out great
Most normal final boss in a kirby game
dedede:
@@jclkaytwothey were being ironic.
The background chanting made it better. This has got to be my favorite Kirby song on the channel. Good job portraying this evil yet complex alien.
If I had a nickel for every time Steel voiced an Ultimate Lifeform, I’d had 2 nickels. Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice (not that I’m complaining, he did a great job both times).
3:37 Gotta love the Fermi's Paradox reference
3:37 This lyric is in reference to Elfilis' meteor attack being named: "Fermi Paradox Answer" in the files (according to WiKirby).
The Fermi Paradox is basically the question of "why have we never encountered aliens?"... Much like the attacks name, this lyric is raw as Hell.
Considering the vast amount of genocidal or near genocidal creatures Kirby defeats, I would say Fecto Elfilis is one of the most deadly as just for that attacks name shows he’s omnicidal and already done enough of that.
Guess Elfilis has a whole choir now. Good for it
the choir is the voices in their head after 30 years of hearing one phrase on repeat
@@numerousbees12 "AND HERE WE ARE!"

I had a feeling this more recent final boss would be included in the Musical Bytes. I don't know why you chose to have the vocals go so unnecessarily hard for a Kirby song, but I'm so glad you did. This is the most power I've ever heard go into Steel's singing, and that's saying something cuz Megalovania exists on this channel.
With how hard Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit goes as an instrumental, I say it's appropriate to give it some banger lyrics.

Congratulations your eflifis evolved into a fecto elfilis!
I like that as the fight went on, Fecto himself seemed to realize this little creature was more than he seemed, even recognizing them as similar, "I'm what you could be if only you tried." He knows full well by that point Kirby could do the whole world destroyer thing, and assumes its just lack of effort that he has not rather than Kirby just not being interested in such things.
Lol I he was like why why not try
This and Juno’s cover is 🔥. Also the fact that they did Mozart’s requiem near the end is peak Kirby!
I'm fascinated by the pronunciations used for the Latin here! (Language nerdery incoming)
For those who aren't already aware, there are two major pronunciation styles of Latin we use: Classical, which is more or less how Latin was formally spoken in the era of the Roman Republic and Empire, and what is usually taught to Latin students; and Ecclesiastical, which is more often used in religious contexts and has a lot of the 'fun' sound changes you see in a lot of European language spellings (e.g., soft c's and g's). Most Latin choral vocals tend to lean toward this latter pronunciation, as far as I've heard.
But here, neither style is adhered to perfectly. Best exemplified, I think, by 'vincit'. In Classical, this would be something like 'winkit'; in Ecclesiastical, it would be more like 'vinchit'. But here, the chorus pronounces it as 'vinkit' (or at least, the most prominent voices in it do), which doesn't squarely fit either style. The line 'igne natura renovatur integra' also shows it well: were they only using Classical, the third word would sound more like 'renowatur'; were it Ecclesiastical, the first word would sound more like 'inye'. (I'll spare you any more examples, but there are several more in the song).
I'm not complaining whatsoever, of course -- in fact, the pronunciations they use here are how I myself would prefer to pronounce them, an anachronistic combination of the two styles that, most notably, has a 'v' sound but does not soften c's and g's. It's genuinely great!
But I do have to wonder why this pronunciation style was used - If it was a deliberate choice on the part of the lyricists or singers with a particular thought process behind it (which I'd love to hear about, if so!), or if it's just what was defaulted to (which is perfectly fine, too), or even if it's, like, some Secret Third Style I've been hitherto unaware of (which, elaborate? Please?)!
(Language nerdery ends here)
On a slightly separate note, I do love whenever songs get an excuse to include bits of the 'dies irae' poem in their lyrics! Great work as always, y'all!
It is a hell of a trip to hear Stelyos sing this one after how many times I've listened to Juno's version lmao

There’s a lyric I really like in this one. “paying for the sins of the father” it has a double meaning one the sins of the society that jailed them. Additionally the father is a title used to refer to god. Elfilils obviously sees themselves as a god, considering the angelic references and the Latin used. So it could mean Kirby is paying for Eflilis’s sin
Or he is mentioning void.
Steel as Fecto for the second time. You know someone's made for a role if they are cast in two different representations of the same character.
Definitely as good as Juno's. Very different and distinct despite the same lead voice. I particularly love the addition of a backing chorus for the high notes, I think this song requires it. There is almost always 2 or 3 tracks playing at once, especially in phase 1, and the highs are usually part of one of the tracks that's otherwise less prominent. I’ve found that just one singer usually struggles to replicate this. The same holds if you try to hum/whistle the song; I still can't make it sound right because I can mostly only follow one track at a time and a backing track usually shifts to fronting for the highs. The backing vocals allowed this cover to follow these shifts much more easily than Juno's.
Where it doesn’t necessarily improve on Juno's is in musical-lyrical correspondence. I'd say both rate about the same. Both definitely have places where they don’t seem to be trying too meticulously to place a syllable on every note, the way covers of shorter and less complicated music tend to do. Syllables get misplaced and feel like they're not on anything in particular in both. But interestingly, many places where the Juno version hits the 1:1 lineup for a full line or longer, this one misses a few beats, and places where this one hits, that one misses. Taking the parts where each one is hitting on all cylinders and putting that together could be a really interesting exercise and result in something like a definitive performance.
But hey, I'm not a musician nor a music theorist. I certainly couldn't do any better, I can’t even whistle this kaiju of a song very accurately, I can only imagine what better might sound like. Both of these are total bangers. Steel is now the canon voice of Elfilis to all of us. Bravo sir, thank you for your service.
And y'all can have that interlude. Two extremely different takes on it between the two covers, both totally reasonable ones and both absolutely going their own merry way. Proves what I suspected all along: that shit is structureless and unfollowable. The very idea of lyrical correspondence abandons all hope there; it can only work as backing, pure and simple. I don’t even think I know the tune halfway in my head, and it's been over 2 years now. No thanks, I'm done 😂
Great comment!
Alex took a page out of Monster Hunter's book and decided to add a whole Latin choir to let you know that this is REAL SHIT. I love how different of an approach this took to Juno's, both versions are wonderful. They each have their unique charm, as if Alex's is what's happening on the battlefield itself wile Juno's is more of an internal monologue. It's a lovely duality and I am SUCH a fan. Incredible work on both parts and it's great to have more Elfilis music in the world!

5:49 Now we need Elfilis saying "I'll chisel your gravestone, sleep well!" and this video becomes a level beyond peak
I don't think I can properly describe how insane the usage of Latin - sung mostly by a choir, no less! - drives me. In a really, really good way of course.
The lyrics sung by the choir really bring to mind followers of a god singing their praises, and really, isn't that what Fecto Elfilis wants? That's always the vibe I've gotten, anyway. A powerful being who is on the cusp of godhood - they only need prove their power. And being angry at being sealed away for who knows how long is understandable. But Elfilis made one mistake: they targeted something under the protection of Kirby.
I feel like 6:13 onwards really encapsulates Fecto Elfilis as a character. (or at least my personal interpretation, lol)
They are a twisted being of destruction, one that wishes to conquer, to bring destruction and to rule ("Behold the falling skies, behold the rising tide, if the worlds won't belong to me, _let them all die!"),_ but the scariest part is that _their actions are justified._ I mean, if you came into a foreign country, planet or whatever, and you immediately got captured, held captive for years, held in stasis, used as an exhibit and forced to hear the same recordings over and over and _over_ again, and then... poof, one day you're just abandoned. Left behind, as garbage you'd throw in the bin. Now, doesn't that sound awful? I bet most people would want _some_ level of retribution. That's just about exactly what Fecto Elfilis went through. In their mind, they're justified to bring Hell down onto the Forgotten Land - after all, if its former residents treated them like garbage, why should they treat it any different? ("Behold your dream coming undone! [...] All the smashed masses will see that I've won!")
Their aggression to Kirby is similarly understandable - in their eyes, Kirby is not only defending the people who brought them so much misery, he's also actively defusing their efforts, everything they've gone through to get this far! ("This is your fate, I finished what you've begun... Fool, to make two from who was one!")
Now, this is not to say that they're not evil - they're still destroying both the New World _and_ Popstar, the latter completely unnecessary, and they seem to... actually somewhat revel in this ("Now I open the gates, what awaits is oblivion!"). And there's some everpresent ego issues showing all throughout the song, but they particularly show here, too! ("The idea that I've lost is naught but a lie! [...] Cry out your fears to the gods who can't hear, your last fading pleas! I am the one who has deafened their ears [...] Elfilis, the end of life!")
At the end of it all, I would personally classify Elfilis as a tragic villain, but a villain nonetheless. Very good job!
Just one problem with this interpretation, fecto genocided a lot of people before the forgotten land, tried to do it to the original inhabitants, and is making plans to continue his cosmic killing spree while fighting kirby.

The Dies Irae motif is actually an interesting choice, not only because of the apocalyptic threat Elfilis is, but it also applies to Kirby, as they are Elfilis' judge. A similar case applies to Morpho Knight, as they seem to serve the role of judge over the dead.
