At a lore standpoint, it really shows how dedicated Meta Knight is to the code of chivalry. He kept his old sword as a mementos and as a backup in the case something like that would happen. Meta Knight is always prepared no matter what, even if it means holding onto a sword for about 30 years.

[@rickygamingproductions]

Yeah Its really cool and also Hilarious that He's like "Hold On, Be right back" and Comes back with his older sword before Kirby stole his present Day Sword

[@rickygamingproductions]

You can even do it with his Phantom Variant

[@trulyplasmatic]

speaking of chivalry does anyone else notice that meta knight uses straightforward and not misleading attacks? he straight up gives an indicator on what he does; but when you fight phantom meta knight.. he charges, drifts toward your backside, aiming for a backstab this is not the same meta knight as he doesn't hold the same restraints (which is weird because supposedly phantom meta knight was formed from meta knight's own memories)

The fact that the damage Meta Knight can deal is not affected by what sword he uses just goes to show how powerful he really is as a Swordsman, even without Galaxia he still performs like nothing happened.

[@Inferno65]

Damn right.

[@koitern8785]

He was probably holding back with Galaxia, because that would suggest that either Galaxia is no different in terms of ability or damage output from the other swords he can use, Meta Knight's abilities aren't tied to Galaxia, or that he's trying harder with the other swords Edit: Why would the phantom hold back against Kirby though? And why wouldn't it just make another Galaxia copy?

[@Inferno65]

@@koitern8785 Because Fecto made all the phantoms, and he doesn't understand Galaxia or Meta Knight's true power. He can only imitate it. And in all likelihood, Meta Knight WAS holding back. For better or for worse, he and Kirby ARE friends. He almost always holds back. He only wants to toughen Kirby up.

[@koitern8785]

@@Inferno65 I know it made the phantoms, but I meant, why didn't the phantom meta knight make another phantom galaxia since it already had one? Why would it only be able to make a false galaxia once?

[@GeorgeCowsert]

I like how certain items can have their identity tied to an individual, so that Kirby's Copy Ability causes him to don their clothes even if he didn't directly copy the person themselves. It's like a piece of the person just runs off on their most iconic/favorite aspects of themselves, so using them as a catalyst for a copy ability is the same as copying them as a person.

[@nicholasleow6692]

Though the damage against you has no change, getting the Galaxia gives you extra boost in terms of your damage output which makes the boss fight simpler. However, the damage mechanism against you is the reason why you shouldn't let your guard down.

[@nicholasleow6692]

In an alternate reality if you steal the Galaxia and the arena rules mention stealing of your opponent's weapon is banned, you'll be disqualified and you will have to defeat him the original way in your 2nd attempt. This does not apply to phantom realm

[@Magol0r]

That’s not cosmic laws

[@ryanprjgamingchannel9437]

The devs really get creative and whey they designed that Meta Knight's sword would be knocked off during a certain part if you blocked a certain attack, and knew Kirby could just inhaled it, so they designed this purposefully!

To think that all those moves and power come from Meta Knight himself! I thought Galaxia made him stronger, but I was wrong! Guess that’s why Galaxia chose him. (Remember, Galaxia cannot be wielded by anyone. It can only be wielded by warriors it deems worthy. Like Kirby and Meta Knight) He truly is a swordsman of great strength and skill! Able to fully draw out his power with any blade he wields. He wasn’t just worthy of Galaxia. Galaxia was worthy of HIM.

Tbh I'm kinda sad the ability wasn't called Master like in The Amazing Mirror, but this is still a really cool Easter egg nonetheless.

[@ashleylightheart126]

Meta Knight doing the same damage with or without Galaxia might be lore detail showing that he might not be using the sword for its power but rather to always be protecting it incase someone evil took it for its power. We know that in lore, Galaxia is needed to beat Dark Mind. The prevailing theory is also that Dark Mind and Dark Matter are very likely the same species so it stands to reason that the Star Rod used to beat Dark Mind is on a similar strength as Galaxia. The key difference is that the star rod needs to be recharged intervalley with the power of dreams while Galaxia does not making it possibly much stronger than the star rod.
