The Shimmering Star of Hope He who has born from the stars and he who made them as bright as they are with his immense love and compassion. Thousands of years have gone by... Or maybe just a few hours? Who can tell when trapped in the infinity. And yet, as he faces his toughest opponent yet, an angel of a world long gone, he can still remember why he fights with such determination. For the paradise that welcomed him when he was a child. For those who he calls friends, families, an even for some of his foes. For the treats, for the dreams, for the love in that spring breeze. ¡Fly now, Kirby of the Stars! ¡To end this cosmic nightmare once and for all!

[@elias0240]

Y‘know; after seeing the „darkest hour“ concept explored in media so often, wherein the main character cracks after experiencing intense suffering, it’s kinda refreshing to see this iteration of Kirby - a character so kindhearted and whimsical, - come out of that situation *_emotionally sound and still very much themselves._* Kirby may be strong enough to cut through thousands of world-ending threats now, but underneath it all, this is the Kirby we know.

[@chrange9714]

Kirby isn't strong enough to cut down a single world ending threat himself, he always needs the power of some artifact or other source to do so. You're vastly overhyping his strength.

[@elias0240]

@@chrange9714 If I were talking about the *actual* Kirby, true! However, if you check the description, the lore for this video states that Kirby has been trapped in a pocket dimension where he‘s done nothing but fight thousands of world-ending threats, likely without any gimmick power ups, causing him to get stronger and have actual abilities of his own.

Even against the darkest of hearts.... Against the most vicious of souls.... Against literal nightmares and horrors.... Even if there's a day he will LITERALLY have to fight HIMSELF. Kirby will pull through because of his heart of kindness and friendship. Because he is a friend. Your friend. OUR friend. He's just that good of a boy with a simple and powerful heart.

[@nimajneb8897]

Interesting how despite what was said with Siamo Zero that Kirby would eventually become the same darkness he fought, here he stayed a true hero despite everything. Awesome music as always, and this whole storyline has been fun!

[@yetravellingsonc8372]

I love how the track is just ever so slightly *_off_* but still undoubtedly hopeful and triumphant above it all. Kirby's definitely a little fucked up after having to deal with a bunch of lovecraftian abominations beyond our comprehension but he's still himself at the end of it all *_and he can go another round if he had to because he's just built different_*

[@MrMoom08]

I like how despite the eerie distortion of the green greens leitmotif, this is the most upbeat of the endemy themes, which fits considering that this endemy is Kirby himself. It also gives the feeling that we’re nearing the end, that end being what I assume is Doppia Elica.

[@superabdoking5372]

So...we are nearing the endgame now, huh? Well?, give em hell for us, kirby and stay determined.

It started with siamo zero and ended with the war torn star warrior. Really fitting 2 kirbys were the beginning and end of the endemy system.

[@DesoloZantas]

I’d say this is similar to Siamo Zero Kirby, but it’s more stable and focused. While Siamo Zero felt like a lost cause, there are actually two paths: Siamo Kirby and (as I’m now calling it lol) Ultimate Kirby.

[@nandon8189]

@@DesoloZantas I bet if a kirby saw what this version went through he'd have that push to avoid becoming Siamo Kirby thinking it might be alright at the end if kirbo keeps going with determination towards something. "Rage rage against the dying of light" these words from that voice must have really connected with Ultimate Kirby.

[@ObjectoMenace]

I love things that sound so uniquely sad and somehow broken like this. It really gets to me more than straight up sad music, like this sounds happy but also like you know it's already over and you've lost. Almost like a last stand to buy time for others.

[@bucketOfPenguin]

I always love it when the final phase is reached in a final boss fight and we get a triumphant reprise of our own theme. This battle ends now, one way or another. And the odds are in *our* favor.

[@J.jones229]

[@MetaVR-xr5uv]

3:33 dude the ending is so well animated and the fact that Zero two’s motif is playing in the backround makes it so perfect, I hope u have a nice day.❤

[@pokemonultraz1262]

This song sounds triumphant but also sad. Representing how kirby changed throughout this cycle. How The countless battles he fought against endemies have hardened him, forced him to grow up. He has gained the power to fight El but in the process lost his innocence. He may have reached his true potential as a star warrior, but in the process he was broken. The Kirby we once knew is gone, all that's left is a broken star warrior.

[@pokemonultraz1262]

This is only a concept but the fact he learned to talk, like a child learning to talk as they get older could support my idea.

[@Gova_01]

This feels like a Kirby that, after losing all it's friends, it just gave him a stronger push of determination towards defeating evil. Yes, he might be sad about everyone, but that won't stop it from saving the day once again and forever after.

Well-- All of my friends are here with me In my thoughts, in my soul, In my dreams... and, There'll be nothing left to fear When the stars bring them all back to me. So-- (Follow piano) Why? No, why? Can't I get through this This last True Soul melting arena? Is it my fate? (No.) Why Can't I Save all of you now? No no If Everything must end I'll Find a new way! I Won't die, So this is all just lost time just Waiting for the chance that I will arise! (Switch to strings) Does there shine a light / In the shadow? Gleaming outward, yes, the light of Hope!

[@cirnogaming2352]

After reading the description, I think the whole thing could work well as a roguelike where you become stronger and unlock more abilities and upgrades each time you defeat a boss Awesome music, really feels a longer version of the final blow themes like Pink Ball Revolution and The World to Win, I can imagine finally fighting el on equal footing and it being used for a whole new final long phase after Kirby gets his transformation

[@pixelsb4150]

Is that… supposed to be a mix of Kirby, Galacta Knight, and… Zero? (Especially at 3:33) I don’t think I’ve ever seen somethin as chaotic and yet elegant as something like this I’ve been out of the loop with the Kirby lore for a while lol Amazing stuff as always

So… Kirby made it out the other end unscathed- no, even stronger. But what about Void and Zero? They were also fighting against El… Is it safe to assume that their predisposition to neural and negative energies makes them more susceptible to El’s influence?

The entire universe is pretty much on 'pause' after Subcontra. Even Zero and Void are stuck.

[@cosmoredeathwish2319]

Is Kirby the New Endemy inside or is it perhaps the Mindscape’s gate that blocks an Inner Kirby from achieving a full cleared mind?

[@DesoloZantas]

This song represents Kirby charging through thousands of Endemies over an extended period. As Kirby grows stronger, he eventually reaches the level of an Endemy, gaining the power to tear apart realities and create voids. He becomes powerful enough to challenge El in his base form, as seen in my previous videos about AntiNihility. In essence, Kirby Knight is the final Endemy. I would say Kirby is a stable and refined Galacta Knight.

I am really surprised how quickly you get these done, I checked up on your Soundcloud earlier too and there's quite a few more tracks than I expected. Just make sure to not overwork yourself. And as Game developer, and more importantly a person who really really loves games, I'd say your variety is already really good even for a game composer. Just gotta get to work on more games, but that comes with time. I also gotta finish up more games so I can properly call myself Gamedev.

"Endemy": After Kirby's universe falls under the control of El, an intriguing concept emerges. El begins manipulating Kirby's mind by exposing him to alternate universes where Kirby remains the central character. His intention is to demonstrate to Kirby that, regardless of the countless possible outcomes, the universe was bound to be conquered eventually. These parallel universes, each governed by distinct enemies capable of bringing about their respective universe's demise, are collectively referred to as "Endemy." However, El possesses a unique approach. He has deciphered a pattern that allows him to seize control of all the Endemies simultaneously.
