My opinon on why Morpho tries to kill kirby in the Forgotten land is because Kirby is protecting Elfilin, who is a piece of Forgo's soul/essence. Morpho knight needed to absorb all of Forgo to fully purge it from this existence, and it knew that kirby wouldn't let that happen to his friend. This is also probably why Forgo was able to escape and reform into Chaos Elfilis, as the butterfly hadn't yet fully consumed it.

I like to think Morpho Knight is just a force of nature neither good or bad which makes sense due to it being a god of judgment, it doesn't need to be good or bad to do its job

Here's my take, on the case of galacta knight, you forgot to mention something, when it was absorbing galacta knight it had heart effects, meaning that galacta bonded with Morpho during the process, which is the opposite of forgo, forgo had nothing of that kind of effect, it was simply absorbed.
I also think Morpho knight is a hero, and may even be (as silly as that may sound) Kirby's guardian angel, training him for something that will soon manifest, something so dangerous it finally needs to make it's presence known.

Maybe whatever threat is coming, Morpho thinks it's so unbelievably dangerous that they need to train Kirby personally, maybe whatever is out there either rivals Kirby or even surpasses him at the moment, I will go out in a whim here and assume that the being lurking in the dark is Kirby's first ever nemesis, the dark matter tribe, and that there is now a Zero 3.

I think another way of looking at Morpho Knight could be that it is a representation of the devs stamping out certain gimmicks that they'd relied on a lot over the course of the games to make way for something new, first it was removing the Galacta Knight boss fight, now it's the Boss Soul fight

The part of the Star Allies description for Morpho Knight that says, "a pure being twisted by a dark past" was originally "a being buried in the darkness of history" in the Japanese version of it.

Well if you where to consider the fact Dreamland has probably been protected from something before Kirby it could stand to be that the butterfly acts as a great filter. When two beings of great power clash the butterfly will take the soul of one of the sides and then kill anything around it leaving no trace behind before itself fading away fulfilling it's judgement. This is probably why the inhabitants of Dreamland are generally peaceful as many great warriors would of been forgotten or lost after a battle when Morpho intervenes with no one knowing why.

I feel like morpho knight doesn’t actually judge power, but instead a being’s will or resolve. Even with Kirby wanting to save Leon, which he probably cares a lot about, Efilis has been trapped in a test tube separated from its other half for centuries after being abandoned by the people who put him there, listening to the “and here we are” lady for years on end. It’s plan to take back elfilin by bringing the denizens of dreamland is foiled by Kirby and after throwing everything it has at him elfilis still ends up losing, so due to its efforts made to try to stop Kirby, morpho knight gives it a chance to beat him. Kirby might be physically stronger than pretty much everything else, but Elfilis has sacrificed more to get to this point.

I think maybe there is an entire Morpho counsel in which he is secretly trying to train Kirby to end up being. It’s be cool if the other counsel members look like existing characters like Magalor and Susie and there’s a whole game based around that. Kirby and the Morpho Counsel.

@StabbyCat3000 4 years ago

I think the morpho butterfly as a 'creature of judgement' could go both ways, good and bad. What if it had some way to bless, as well as curse. Maybe when it appears near kirby, it's somehow influencing his path in a positive way, and absorbs beings it deems unworthy. This specific theory has many, many holes but my point is to consider that the butterfly could be capable of more than just punishment, and that it's judgement also could reward those that take heroic action.

Or something, I'm really not that confident in this

Neutral, I think he's testing Kirby.

@hour236 4 years ago

When it comes to in between the hero and villain sides, I personally think the hero theroy holds more water. It would make sense for the butterfly to step in to help protect and train Kirby for greater threats to come in the future. Much like how it tried to protect Kirby from forgo soul but due to forgo being more neutral couldn't completely take forgo out. This could likely explain in your previous theroy that Galacta Knight after likely being once a hero became obsessed with power and soon turned into a villain. Because of Galacta Knight always coming back the butterfly stepped in seeing Galacta Knight was evil and took him out for good. That's what I see for the theroy of the hero part. It makes most sense to me in that scenario.

I know that going to the forgotten land is traveling to another dimension but I think one day they will make a kirby game based on kirby travel through dimensions, alternate realities and time as a big why to drop lore and get fan service.

@DontBAC_nt 4 years ago

Personally, I think that morpho knight consumes the power from the people he absorbs, one of his attacks in forgotten land has forgo.

@Khyon521 4 years ago

Honestly I don’t know if he’s either. He might not even be worried about what Kirby and Co are doing, he just happens to run into them while searching for more power

@Luisorjuela13 4 years ago

9:28 when you talk about how galacta knight may still be alive despite morpho knight absorbing him, I instantly thought of Aeon Hero from Team Kirby Clash. Maybe Morpho knight rebirthed Galacta knight there, as we see Galacta knight does get new attacks and even 2 new forms (Light and Dark).

The butterfly: 8 strikes your out
Glacti knight: oh man
the butterfly: you can't slam a planet into a different one
Soul forgo: oh I'm not allowed but the doom slayer is allowed to shot a hole to the center of Mars
The butterfly: that's different he needs to go to another planet but you can't do that it will breaks the law of gravity and besides it also does ecological damage
Soul forgo: what about magalor he was about turn popstar into a black hole
The butterfly: um well that was the crown not him and also you can't just shatters someone's soul across a dimension
( theroy: I think morpho knight was Kirby's old ally back in the nightmare wars but had to sacrifice his energy to seal nightmare away so he consumes the beings to return and the darkness magic of nightmare tainted him so every return he must kill Kirby )

@Shaprite 4 years ago

You could be right about the hero route. We do get a Blue Print for his Sword ability just like we do when defeating Meta Knight and even Dedede after the main story. Though there is something I want to mention is that maybe he knows of Kirby's "Origin" and is keeping tags on him incase if he does something bad. Who knows.

@kirby_ketchup 4 years ago

I like to think Galacta really just wanted to finally rest for all eternity, he had served his purpose and Morpho Knight was a way that allowed him to rest, with one final fight

@robinoperkino1034 4 years ago

I had imagined that Morpho Knight appears similar to Galacta Knight because it chooses to continue making itself into that form, as it either had no other forms or found that it was the most powerful form yet. As for why it fights Kirby after consuming a being and taking this form, I imagined that the soul of the being it consumed was influencing it or trying to control it from within, and it does not object to what it is likely seeing as a chance to tell Kirby's strength or intentions. I am fairly certain that the games in which the butterfly has appeared are only the ones where Galacta Knight or Morpho Knight are present at some point, so the butterfly must somehow know already that these beings will violate the rules of the world.
