Seeing Kirby in such a dark perspective somehow doesn’t make me uneasy. Because it makes sense due to most of the lore and how people created theories about it.
@@pinksquirrel7709 shut, what did you expect, he was fighting an eye, it could be even his blood, or the blood from zero's attacks (it attacks with blood)
I mean, until Star Allies, there was nothing pointing to anything potentially sinister about Kirby himself. I think the characters with currently the least dark connections about them are the animal friends.
I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE MAKE KIRBY CONTENT I love Kirby sm even if I've barely played any of the games. Everything is so cute and then the lore is just... yeah the lore- also I don't trust butterflies anymore
@@shroomsyblooms for kirby lore id recommend the videos by "The RPG Monger" [ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eX4pjt0pzUI.html] and "Designing For" [ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CUSYCLgEMfU.html ]!! and if you just want a short quick summary, this one by Chase Kip is really good [ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M3pN3Z97-2k.html ]. these are all really good from what i remember, and helped me understand the lore more!
The thing I love about Kirby is that… despite how dark everything around him may get, he keeps a smile on his face, and is confident that he will see it through. Real people might not be as strong, but it’s inspiring to see Kirby always make it out alright in the end.
This could be a spoiler for who didn't play star allies, but it's also a theory, yet I'm pretty sure it's what Hal wanted us to understand. He didn't smile all the way, he eventually lost everyone and everything, and he became emotionless, living in eternity, becoming Void. Until another Kirby made him remember emotions again, so he could smile again at the very end.
Fun fact, everyone! According to the Kirby star allies novel, Kirby had an existential crisis at seeing void termina! I love seeing people use the idea of Kirby having existentialism about this. It's such a cool idea that more people should expand on
I think what makes this so fitting and sad, even for an animation "meme", is that Astral Birth Void (AB Void if you prefer) is at least canonically intended to be a being from the same origins as Kirby but instead of having been given freedom and people to help nurture it AB Void had only rejection and hatred from tribes that feared it. They're both supposed to originate from "Void", the embodiment of a true neutrality in the Kirby universe, totally formless and unstable until it bonds with positive or negative powers. The pieces of Void that are exposed to, and bond completely with, negative powers become creatures such as Dark Matter which only cause negative outcomes as a result. Dark Matter is quite literally the "shape of going wrong", only able to survive by not just destroying but undoing the goodness around them. AB Void was basically just Kirby if, instead of being loved and being able to save people, he had no freedom to shape himself. It's not QUITE dark matter, it's still not driven away by Kirby's love and hope like Zero was, but it's easily the largest evolving mass of Void that could have become Dark Matter. It's Kirby if he were mere moments away from giving up on life and being forced into Dark Matter by no choice of his own. In that sense Kirby going "No, you made the choice to be!" feels fittingly in denial about looking at what might as well have been himself, or his own kin, unjustly hurt and mutated into pure, unaligned chaos. That could have been him, that could be him, and the only reason it isn't is because he happened to grow up differently. It wasn't really AB Void's choice, either, though. That's just what AB Void believes it is; a living scar beginning to believe that it will never fully heal. It's faces shape itself to all different kinds of dark matter, on the verge of fully transforming, it's attacks are inspired by Miracle Matter as well (a whole different topic but basically Miracle matter is like a small piece of void already too far gone, unstable). It's a small detail but in-game, it even copies the face made by Zero Two's host body before being taken over. Not dissimilar to Magalor Soul's smiling corpse being used as dark matter's host. Giving in. That's dark matter's nature and if AB Void did the same, the cycle would repeat again and again. The way it loses it's smile in the animation fits the situation well like that even if it's all coincidentally done. You can't just tell someone they chose to be hurt by others and be taught the things they did. That they could have chosen to be different, be like you, that there's no way you could be like they are. Even if it makes you feel better about your own fine-line between who you are and the tortured mess you could have been if you were just a little less lucky, it's scary to think you aren't as willing and noble as you believe.
OH MY GOD YESYESYESYES YOU GOT IT PERFECTLY!!!!! THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TRYING TO CONVEY IN THAT MOMENT YES YES YES THAT DENIAL AND FEAR YESSSS YOU UNDERSTOOD!!!!!!! Im so glad it came across!!!
@@cosmikirby You did an amazing job and I respect, adore, each of your animations because of the sheer detail and personality you manage to create. It captures what Kirby is underneath it's normally happy exterior honestly. Thank you for all of your hard work with these. And sorry for the walls of text, I'm just kind of excited when I see this stuff.
@@cosmikirbyThere's a theory that says basically that Kirby and void are the same thing but like separated. So... we were told that void was extremely porwefull like a god In Kirby star allies and at first It was neutral. Though void was destined to be evil because he was made of dark Matter if I recall correctly. Later, we were told that some warriors fought against this void and managed to get him encapsulated with those heart sticks (Idk how they are called i'm sorry). Well the theory says that when these warriors encapsulated void, they separated the Evil from the good that was in void because remember, he was a neutral being destined to be Evil with both good and bad sides. This good separated from void is Kirby. That would explain why Kirby is such a powerfull being and that would explain why he ends up in a situation where he has to kill a god to save dream land, because void was destined to destroy. So basically Kirby would have in his blood to fight against his counterpart (being a god basically). That was my way of seeing this. Also English is my third language so expect all the grammar errors.
I feel like there it's representing the fact that Kirby has had to fight several different versions of the same enemy as the final boss before, all because they decided that the world was evil, and chose to follow the perceived pattern. Kirby knows better, but is generally unable to convince them otherwise.
@@rithm1280 well not really, according to kirby lore , void and a major part of the kirby enemies , including kirby and gooey, all originate from an ultimate being, when this ultimate being enter in contact with positive or negative emotion , it "reincarnate", creating dark matters , void and kirby , so the negative dark matters are made like this, their purpose is to cause chaos and destruction around them, but positive dark matters such as kirby or gooey do the oposite. Marx did choose to be the way he was but changed for the better in star allies, same for magolor, but magolor was possed by the crown, which is related to the dark matters in some way. Some other big bad evil guy are more mysterious but are more on the selfish side than the "doing good by being bad" side.
@@Kanamo4781 I like your attention to detail. Atleast most of the people who were bad changed for the better as seen in star allies. Thoug some weren't that lucky, and tragically so.
I love that ending sequence where is seems to hint that Kirby is leaving because he fears he will face the same fate of being sealed away out of fear by the people he trusted and loved, just like Galacta Knight because of his resemblance to Void
0:36 If you look closely at Kirby's face at that moment, you can see that it is the design of the first Kirby, not the current one. For what could be the moment when that Kirby came to Pop Star.
There's so much lore and connections all crammed into a 44 second animation and after watching this like 50 times I seriously just went frame by frame in slow motion to see all the details and I'm just in love with this entire video! Kirby has got the most messed up content in it and this shows it all for all to see and it's about time!
"Heart" being the one part of the beginning chant that is never skipped fits really well in the context of Kirby. You can lose your love, lose your mind, lose control, but the heart's a stubborn thing. Or the soul is, which would explain all these superbosses. Also during the beginning chant, the progression of each character through their Timeline of getting Emotionally Destroyed is so cool. Like, Kirby goes from :D - Friend Hearts Acquired - so much Dark Matter - existential depression, Susie goes from stealing the interface headset - realizing the consequences - about to sic Kirby on Star Dream - regular depression, Taranza goes happy - thinking about the Mirror - outright mourning - mourning so hard he summons an illusion of his old love, and Magolor progresses from his introductory appearance all the way through his bossfight. And then Marx is going through normal - wish - dead - SOUL and jumpscaring me. God damn.
Dark Kirby content is the best Kirby content. These games are dark as all hell story-wise, and it's always the best when someone portrays that with the dark realism it deserves.
THIS IS REALLY SO WELL DONE I'M SPEECHLESS THE WAY YOU SHOW THE LORE, SO FULL OF FEELINGS AND SENTIMENT, THE PRETTY ART, RHE SMOOTH ANIMATION, THE COLOR PALETTE THE KIRBY FANDOM NEVER DISSAPOINTS AND IM TRULY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT EVEN TO THIS DAY
I love this animation! The idea that Kirby is haunted by what’s happened to some of his friends like Magolor is really interesting, especially with him noticing the similarities Void has both to himself and the Zero and having some sort of crisis because of it
No one’s gonna talk about the end card? It was really wholesome to see the squad just chilling and eating. The animation though, just absolutely amazing!! I really love the effort and everything about it! :D
I don't like it when things are left on a sad note, and I can't help but wonder: Do you believe that Kirby left? So it's great to see a nice end card that reassures me that it's all peachy... for the most part
You know, Kirby probably would genuinely develop scopophobia over time given how many abominations he's fought that are literally giant eyeballs 😭 Excellent work!!
Not gonna lie this is actually relatable to the actual new Kirby in the forgotten land game because I have it and I have realized Kirby had sacrificed a lot just to get to the end, for example killing many gods with upgrades he got
I want to admit Kirby has gone thru so much trauma trying to protect not only their freinds but sometimes the whole universe is put into this one poor pink round lad and I feel horrible for them on so many levels words can’t explain how much this meme makes sense.
oh. my. god. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!! the animation, the way you draw the characters, everything is just perfect. i watched the video, then went back and just looked at each frame. kirby has been my special interest for over a year now, so i always enjoy seeing things like this!! i think you should definitely make more kirby content if you want. and this is the perfect day to release this, since it’s the 30th anniversary of my most favorite game franchise ever. happy birthday kirby!!
This animation gives me a ridiculous amount of serotonin, it's just so perfect?! The emotions, on fucking POINT. The beats, perfectly timed. The lore, flawlessly integrated. I am obsessed and can't stop watching, thank you!
I have single handedly watch this 20 times. the animation is so clean and the dark plot is amazing! I’d love to see a animation about Kirby and the forgotten land. Keep up the great work!
It's like the first half of the song was MADE for Kirby characters, why does it fit so well??? It also doesn't help that the four characters can be compared back to the four main elements of the Kirby universe (according to Void): Dream, Heart, Darkness, and Soul respectively. (Though one could argue whether Hearts or Dreams suit Susie or Taranza better.)
@@nathanlevy8612 in the Japanese version of triple deluxe when you're fighting Sectonia's soul: she laments over her insanity and how she can't even hear Taranza's voice anymore. So she states that someone must give her "eternal beauty sleep" before the night ends so she may finally be at peace. Reading into it, one can see she's begging kirby to kill her, like an assisted suicide.
THIS IS SO COOOOL, I never considered the choice meme/song for Kirby but its so perfect with the lyrics and everything. Also this video is just oozing effort and care, from the editing to the animation to the storytelling. I can’t imagine how long it took you!
There isn’t enough animations like this out there, I love all the little details and how much personality you give all the characters, especially Kirby.
I love the fact that at the end it shows some of the characters and Kirby says "that skit was too scary", Dedede says "you think so?" and bandana is comforting Kirby :)
OH MY GOD I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS TO BE UPLAODEDD THIS TURNED OUT SO GOODDD. there so much detail put into this ilove how this looks SO MUCH!! i love the backgrounds, how the ones earlier in the animation have stuff to do with the lore of the characters respective games, and the ones with void look like they took soo long, ALSO SPEAKING OF VOID I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU DID THE RAINBOWS ON THEM AT 0:23 this animation fuckin rocks and imgoing go watch this forever it’s so so good. you did an amazing job on this :D
Dedede is scared by still willing to fight along side kirby, truly a king. I like to think he's screaming "I'MA SUPA STAR WARRIORA!" In his head out of fear.
void lore! void lore! void lore! this whole thing is beautiful. When you decide to look a little bit into kirby games that stuff gets dark, QUICK. You did a great job capturing that feel 👌
Okay, as far as i seen, nobody has mentioned this, but i think Kirby has his hands stained with blood because he has killed people and he feels guilty about that
Bingo!!!!🎉🎉 I think you may be the first person to mention it, yes!! I thought it was cheesy, but I’m not sure how else I was supposed to represent the “blood on his hands” in a non-literal way ahsgsjsh
@@cosmikirby I just said that because in the couple of frames that Kirby looks like hi is going to cry over his hand and sees this blood in his hands, the background haves magalor, president haltman, (Susie's father), Queen sectonia and void, and a sward Wich is the sword Kirby uses to cut a volcano in two. That and I just have reed too much psychological exams (my own, mostly)
@@joshuaemanuelcastellanosca3788 It’s a good observation!! I chose those four because they stand out from Kirby’s other enemies, being people that deserved a second chance (magolor getting controlled by the crown, sectonia manipulated by the mirror, haltmann getting his memories erased by star dream, and void used as a vessel for evil), but that Kirby had no choice but to defeat anyway. The guilt is real 😔
Not to mention that for example sectonia was corrupted by the mirror, the mirror was corrupted by dark meta knight, who's master was dark mind who was an incarnation of void. Kinda looks like Kirby remembers being void and remembers his connection to their hive mind and doesn't like it.
This is amazing and a perfect representation of the series and its characters. This is litterally the best kirby animation I have seen ever. I also love how all of the movements align perfectly with the music. The expressions are also so good! 💖💖💖💖
Best 44 seconds of my life. The animation is amazing and the art style is so pleasing and perfect! Also, the emotional journey the characters go on, and void lore! I love! I always love seeing people give Kirby a realistic reaction to seeing Void.
I LOVE THIS! THE ANIMATION IS JUST PERFECT AND THE SIMBOLISM! Oh the simbolism... Confronted by the Void in its primal form, the origin of his complete existence, Kirby can't deny a reality long avoided: his closeness to all the dark entities that terrorized those he consider friends. What makes him special? It's being a representation of love enough of an excuse to eradicate both the broken and the obsessed? It's his love an eternal protection from the negative emotions that had been flowing towards him? What even makes him sure that the breaking point won't appear in the next adventure? Kirby doesn't know, but something inside probably holds all the answers he isn't prepared to hear. He walks away, as it's common for him, but the only danger in sight (at least in his perspective) it's residing inside the savior of Dreamland.
I have watched this SO many times Also, I’m in love with the expressions and THAT SYNCHRONIZATION WITH MORPHO BUTTERFLY AND THE SONG IS THE BEST THING EVER I SWEAR
BESTIE THIS IS AWESOME SNJXMDKXKDNF I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!! THE ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH AND- AND- THE LORE AND EVERYTHING AAAAAAAAAAA- SENDING LOTS OF LOVE
I think this is the most amazing animation meme I’ve ever seen. You stick to the format, but change up each sequence the smallest bit to convey something is off. Then we get the ending scene and it’s just so filled with movement and color and HORROR omg. You’re talented.
Ooo this is so dope!! Kirby content tends to be positive and happy bc at a baseline view that's what kirby games are. It's cool to see really angsty content bc it ties well with the actual lore :0 Ofc I love both still:]
THIS IS SO GOOD!!! the animation is really smooth and i love the way you draw them oh my god 😭❤️ istg kirby lore wouldn’t be this crazy if they all went to therapy
OH THIS IS SO GOOD!!! Kirby lore is so cool and this animation sums that up perfectly. I love your designs for the characters (especially kirby like the way you draw him is SO expressive) AND THE ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH AS WELL LIKE WOW. 0:18 - 0:27 is my favourite part.
This was so unsettling seeing that kirby is always depicted as such a cute series and painted in such a happy world. But it makes sense since the world painted happy on the surface is always dark underneath in it's roots. And seeing how kirby had to fight a lot of bad guys, I can imagine some of the bosses didn't survive and died a gruesome death.
Seeing Kirby get stabbed with the spears of heart pierced my soul. Don't do this to the boy!!! That aside, this is awesome and I love it. It's really fitting!
THIS IS A MASTERPIECE. THE ANIMATION IS GOD LEVELED AND THE ART IS SOOOO GOOD. IT EVEN TIES THE LORE IN. HOW THE HECK DO YOU DRAW AND ANIMATE THIS GOOD? I NEED A TUTORIAL.
i love this video because it makes me realise how much pain kirby has gone through and still trying to smile the whole time fighting gods cripples your sanity
Yeah this is accurate many of kirby foes suffer loss and defeat on the pink puffball then join him on his quest to stop the the jamba heart to get something out of it. Taranza loss of sectonia yet he still lookimg for a "queen". Magolor being possess by the crown and did a betray on kirby only to suffer his sanity for power he can't control. President haltmann trying to bring his daugther that drove him to complete star dream OS unaware that his daugther is his secretary Suzanna (Susie) Haltmann is right there besides him. Marx another kirby foe that wanted to rule popstar only for him to beaten and use as a projectile against star nova. Then there kirby who is actually void with positive emotion against another void with an obssesion to destroying galaxies.
Happy 30th Anniversary Kirby 🥳 and also hopefully Nintendo will do like a sequel for Kirby Right Back At Ya for Kirby’s 30th Anniversary cause it would be cool to see the modern Kirby characters from the modern Kirby Games coming to the Kirby Anime universe you know and also I would see someone making a Friday Night Funkin Mod based off of this Kirby meme animation
I love seeing Kirby lore in this perspective, even if it is kinda scary to think things like that could happen to poor Kirby, like losing all his friends, it's just theories and fan writers can write theories however they want! (As long as it isn't bad or like, sxual...) But it's such an interesting concept to me, as sad as it is.
The fact that this is an accurate interpretation of the actual lore. People talk about kids stuff talking about mature themes today when my boy Kirby been doing it since day one.
