Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospe (𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐃𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐦/ 𝐍𝐨𝐯𝐚) -ʀᴇᴀʀʀᴀɴɢᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ- from Kirby Robobot

Sorry for the wait, this song was long overdue. I had so much going at the time but I'm finally finished with the song so I hope you like it :)

“I remember, as a youngling, my father used to tell stories about them. The all-powerful Ancients. He remarked how they took great pride in their achievements, how they dominated the mind, soul, heart, and dreams of the universe. That pride, that ego, that no one could top them, was what lead to their downfall, into the event known as the Galactic Crisis Incident...”

[@rileygronlund8233]

My, they were fools! The Ancients should know better.

[@marxtheenigma873]

Lor says they had access to one of the strongest sources of magic but decided it was too dangerous. They had all these strict rules about it's use. That's why their civilization was destroyed by Nightmare's people a long time ago. Because they didn't know how to use magic offensively on such a scale. In my universe anyways. Then a survivor, one of the main characters of this time, distraught, downed like a heck ton of magic, went psycho, wrecked them and their void termina monstrosity (created from magic, dark matter, and the soul of some poor Kirb), and disintegrated into space dust.

[@silvercandra4275]

My headcannon is that the ancients had Galacta Knight as their protector, but at some point started to fear his power and tried to seal him away, wich led to him destroying most of them until the last remnannts of the ancients got him under control, locked away in another dimension...

Two Cristophermoon comments in one video. What are the chances?

[@Murr248]

One thing I really liked about this theme. In the beginning, you can here the main leitmotif of ‘the Nobel Haltmann” play a few times. In addition, when this theme is used for fighting star dream’s heart, ‘The Nobel Haltmann’ part is removed. Really shows how Haltmann is slowly getting deleted from the OS

[@TornaitSuperBird]

Jordan Murray Haltmann himself is getting deleted, yes. This is clearly one of the more insidious bosses in Kirby history. Imagine trying to control something only for it to take you over instead...

[@voidastralbirth]

This is why I love Kirby lore so much, oh how dark it can get... All Haltmann ever wanted was to see his daughter again, but his continued experiments on Star Dream scrambled the poor man’s mind to the point where Susie was reduced to just “You *look* like my daughter” in Haltmann’s eyes... That’s very tragic.

[@Color_Splsh]

And also, the one part where the noble haltmann part plays, it's off key, and immediately gets "glitched" and the star dream leitmotif continues as if nothing happened

[@squiredoodad]

"Though built by the ancients, it was there in the beginning...and will be there in the end... Appearing and vanishing, in a trillion splendid forms, always there to match the other constants that dare call upon its might... Existence, and the transient nature of it, will be marked by that one dread expression... :3"

[@icyvulpine4408]

[@charlestetreault739]

I've been wondering for a while, who is the vagrant implied in the title? I guess Susie is a vagrant of sorts, given how she was all by herself for years and still is in the sense that she never regained the bond she once had with Mr. Haltmann. Maybe Haltmann is the vagrant, since he's been isolating himself (at least emotionally) since he lost Susie, and then became trapped in Star Dream. Maybe even Star Dream itself is the vagrant, as the supercomputer is becoming detached from Haltmann and logic as it tries to complete the task of eradicating all life.

[@mauricestardddude8317]

Not sure if Vagrant is actually meant in this way here. Pretty sure it only refers to how it wandering, instead of lonelieness. But it's still a really interesting take, especially with StarDream. StarDream at the end looses the mind it nearly had nearly gained, loosing all forms of sympathy before even gaining them. (Would really like to look at the original song-text now and see if the Kanjis have any implications that way) Star Dream also seems to be hinted to be simmilar to Void as in how it is gaining an existence. The original japanese pause description of StarDream, to me, seems simmilarly structured to Star Birth Void, just that StarDream is dying whereas Coid is being born. (Although I so far was not able to properly translate SD's death as I can't actually understand japanese and due to it being a weird passage to translate (Also sure the very last part with which I am having most troubles had been cut out)) . Also just realized Void is being called a traveller, simmilar to how maybe SD here is called vagrant. And that within simmilar context even.

[@matthewwilliams8267]

Maybe it's...all of them. Susie, the wanderer. Haltmann, the lonely. Star Dream, the Lost. Star dream caused Haltmann to forget Susie. The Lost caused the Lonely to forget The Wanderer.

* jaw drops * i didn't expect this cinematic Funk Epicness in my breakfast. * Maximum Tomato * As much i love Void Termina... I think Star Dream gave the most epic fight i think Kirby series can achieve.. Getting Kirby's version of the Halberd, flying above Haltmann's planet fighting against the most majestic piece of Machinery, to Fighting Haltmann's freaken Planet Size Space Ship Fortress it self across space and then the epic reveal that the Fortress was another Clockwork Star now pitted against you in between spaces. Then True Arena happens, kicks you in the nuts by giving you a bonus fight you never encountered, and fight the heart of the machine ( literary ). also such nice call back to Kirby Super Star/Ultra, like the Clockwork star wasnt enough already.

[@spidey5108]

The best part about this next description? It could be either side of this boss battle offering the perspective. Watch. Cuckoo Clockwork Comet - V.S. Galactic Star Dream "Its energy signature far exceeds that of the Invader Armor, our combat mech. The nearly infinite power within this life-form is astounding. Calculating probability of survival... It doesn't look good." People say how Kirby is the infinite power, and Void is a testament to that. However, if you're able to seal and even contain the Greatest Warrior of the Galaxy, and fight aforementioned pink demon multiple times even with a broken core, then you're no slouch either. That's right, a broken core. As in, the core Haltmann probably found in space after Marx Soul absorbed the rest of NOVA's parts. The core that never realized Haltmann's wish couldn't be granted cause Susie was only warped by Star Dream to Another Dimension like how Galacta Knight's crystal was kept there, not killed. The nucleus core that we damaged with the Starship to fix the damage we let Marx do in the first place. The second most tragic thing about this boss is how we, the players, have a part in creating him to begin with.
