Cold And Yet Caring

I took the scenes from (in order) episode 3, 7, 28, 18, 19, 37, and 51.
I wasn't sure if I should keep the last scene since I didn't know if it would be considered caring. I couldn't make up my mind so I just left it in there.

Meta knight is a good person. He normally doesn't help people. He really tells them some tip or what to do then let them do it there self. He always fights for justice and love. He is always saying things that are right and speaks the truth. He leaps Kirby but makes things do it for himself when he's in a situation he can care for himself. He's always watching over the kids. Even when there not around. This is why I have a huge crush on meta knight.

Wow. The translation made that first scene WAY different! I didn't know he was originally unleashing his angry words at them! In English he's just like "It pains me to do this sire." Pretending he felt bad about it! Why can't they ever translate things right?

[@productions1203]

I prefer this way

[@3hoodies]

Because 4Kids

[@truetakofame4112]

The Kirby anime could use a redub Or we'll have to wait until someone on KZbinr makes a project for it

[@1Thunderfire]

Depends what you're translating. Some things wouldn't make sense directly translated or may have different connotations in different languages.

[@97dusk]

I know this is two years old, but the lines are at times different due to a few reasons. And this isn't exclusively about 4Kids either (which is infamous for heavy censorships, Crash Town in Yugioh 5Ds being an example), this goes for all dubs. The Japanese language as a whole is filled with different dialects and slang, making it almost impossible to use direct translations most of the time. If direct translations were used, the dialogue would make little to no sense or be filled with grammatical errors in English. A friend, who is fluent in Japanese and has gone to Japan many times, struggled with translating Yoh's and Amidamaru's dialogue in Shaman King, strictly because of the dialects. Lip flaps and general timing is another factor. The lines have to be able to fit the lip flaps (or get as close as they possibly can), otherwise we get scenarios like in Sonic 06 where characters are either not moving their mouths despite hearing them talk, or their lips keep flapping and nothing's coming out. Characters without mouths, such as Meta Knight, have the advantage of not having lip flaps to worry about, but the lines still have to fit within a certain time frame. Sometimes, they can get lucky and are able to get the exact same line in, other times not so much.

[@hunterjones6784]

Meta knight can try to look intimidating and mysterious but that doesn't stop him from being as adorable as kirby.

[@hotairbuffoon]

The moments in this video and the light novels are the main reason why Meta Knight is such an amazing character. He has the looks of the cliche dark edgelord, yet couldn’t be more different from the trope. He cares deeply for those around him, so deeply that even a disciplined knight like him lets that care consume him the same way others let hate or vengeance consume them. He trains to be the strongest, yet he still pushes Kirby and his friends to limits that outclass his own.

Meta Knight also saved Sword and Blade's lives ages ago, in the aftermath of the war between the Star Warriors and Nightmare. (One of Nightmare's surviving monsters heard/spotted the group and came over to attack.) He had no reason to save them - they were bandits and had just tried to rob him. But he did anyway.
