Kirby, The Master Swordsman!(Kirby Comic Dub)

[@UNN-e6i]

My headcanon is that Kirby absorbs the experiences and memories of those he eats, and the combined skills of all those sword guys is enough to defeat meta knight

[@twilightnight6283]

What about the sword, though? It wasn't a sentient object in canon. (Unless I'm missing something)

[@Pokehead_DL]

⁠@@twilightnight6283His sword: galactia, is one of the most potent weapons in his arsenal. It is shown that if Kirby eats his sword he will always has a spare.

[@twilightnight6283]

@@Pokehead_DL First of all, the sword you are thinking of is named "Galaxia." Second, if you are talking about the Forgotten Land fight. The second sword Meta Knight brought out was not "Galaxia."

[@Pokehead_DL]

@@twilightnight6283yes that’s why I said spare.

[@QINGDynasty990]

I mean it would make sense why he gave the invincibility power up in the original game

[@DanielAntovski]

Yknow, it is kinda weird how Kirby is better swordsman than Metta knight, I think that this comic perfectly addresses that fact

[@Pokehead_DL]

It’s actually really simple to answer this he becomes the master of anything that he copies. Considering that in any kind of copy ability, he’s able to use skills that would only be able to be done by a master.

[@arieldraws4829]

I honestly think that originally, the insinuation of earlier Kirby's games was that Kirby's swordmanship skills was something that Kirby genuinely had, Kirby's Adventure dindt have hats and the intro of world 1 had Kirby fighting with a sword against the sword knight, but he got disarmed (as in, the sword got knocked out of his hand and not the ability star) and acted helpless until he just inhaled the knight (the gba remake cutted the sword fight), and as there wasnt any hats, there was nothing to imply that kirby transformed somehow when he picked up the sword in Meta Knight battle (rebember that he had to pick it up, not eat from what i rebember) this, plus the fact the Super Star in the first drafts, while special powers like fire, ice, or anything of this kind had hats planned, the weapons were planned to just be Kirby holding them (so it makes sense he throwing to make a friend, the hat or weapon he had in hand, the weapons were already enough, no hat needed), but then Sakurai decided to make hats for weapons too Just a fun little thing i thought i could share

[@uber_nerd-l7r]

my headcanon on this topic is that Meta Knight is just trying to test Kirby and so, isn't actually using his full skillset.

[@finnvaneekelen7740]

Is this even headcanon and not jist canon? Like in adventure he only does regular swordplay, but when hes trying to actially take over dreamland in super star he busts out the tornados and stuff

[@astralbirthvoid02]

Do you realize the number of time where we're sure he is genuinely fighting you? Those are: Super star (ultra), Squeak squad, Planet robobot, Battle royale I guess? Star Allies.

[@massgunner4152]

Problem with that theory is that the only times meta knight fights without pressure are in kirby's adventure and The forgotten land. He literally tries to murder kirby in Superstars ultra, tries to stop him from opening the dark nebula chest in Squeak Squad, gets cyber lin kuei 'ed in planet robobot and is straight up posessed by rage and a dark crystal in Star Allies.

[@finnvaneekelen7740]

@massgunner4152 true but why is that a problem exactly? The meta knight fight is basic AF in adventure, then follows a string kf fights where he is going all out, volentarily or not, hence why he starts using the magic attacks and fancier moves starting from super dyar. Then by the time forgotten land roles around, meta knight knows kirby can beat him even at full force, so desipte it only being a test hr still gives it all hes got. It makes a shocking amount of sensr for whats probably just a result of technologu getting beter IRL

[@Lost-km5bh]

Slightly offtopic, but I love how Web VAs for Kirby keep getting better and better at sounding like the official counterpart!

[@BoltBlades12]

@Lost-km5bh we do our best!!

[@porta_the_door]

In the end, meta knight is just a cutie patotie

[@AlejandroScared]

You are the same species my guy
