My favourite Kirby moment (for Kirby himself) is when he reflects about how stars wound't be as bright without the dark of the space ( aka good can't exist without evil) in Mass Attack, and It also shows he isn't as brainless as people think

Honestly, I kinda view Gooey and Kirby as cousins. Kirby was (maybe) born from void, while Gooey was born from dark matter which was (maybe) born from void. Knowing how many plans they've thwarted though, Kirby and Gooey probably aren't invited to the family reunions, heheh.

I think, Kirby is Void. But the Void created from positive energy, and that broke the heart to begin with. Then with the pure of kindness being released from Void, the true evil from within could appear, showing us how Kirby could have ended. What Kirby without friends could have become. Yet, all the enemies Kirby has faced in the past, all formed together to give Void some of the strength we faced in the final boss. Dark Matter, some attacks similar to the other enemies too. Void isn't Dark Matter, Void is Kirby. And Kirby has beaten Void with what makes Kirby Kirby, friends, the true power of the Star Allies heart

I feel like gooey having the same powers as Kirby was the first hint of Kirby (possibly) being related to dark matter

Kirby’s cool, man. Dude allows the people around him to be the best versions of themselves. Allied with the forces of good, and allowing them to have arcs in the first place.

Kirby is a squishy pink blob of purines and Love, with a very intriguing but insane backstory in the form of pause screen Lore dumps. ^w^

"Kirby is simply, A Friend." I listened to this over and over, and everytime I smile at this line. Kirby doesn't need to be complicated, he doesn't need to be this awe inspiring hero, he just wants to be friends. And that is the most pure thing in any universe, and that will always make anyone with a good heart, smile, knowing that they can always find a friend in the amazing, adorable, pink puffball known as Kirby.

Void is also stated to be the Ancestor and Origin of All. Void is probably the single oldest being in the entire Kirby Multiverse.

My take on kirby is this.

He was born from positive energy, falling to a land of dreams, when he learned of a food eating competition, so he entered and won against the king DeDeDe

Then, Triple D decided to take all the food so kirby couldn't win again against him

Even though Void Soul and Astral Birth are not canon to Kirby, could they be canon to Void itself? Something similar already happens to Galacta Knight, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility.

Great video, here's some notes aboit his character:
- In Rainbow Curse, his sratue states that he came to Dreamland on a Spring Breeze. Aside from his connection to Void, this is the only lore we get on him.

- Kirby's intelligence is portrayed inconsistently, early on he was depicted with the ability to speak a few times (manuals, Avalanche, manga) and in the US manual for Adventure it's stated that he's a "young boy" however this was largely dropped by the time of the anime.

That show established two things that would define Kirby, first being thay he cannot talk and tbe second being that he's just a baby.

This is seen in most of his appearances after the anime, for example him not being able to read in Figjters 2 falls in line with his appearance in the anime and not so much the early media depicting the character.

However in Mass Attack, after defeating the final boss Kirby wonders if darkness is necessary for light to exist in this world. This is really ohilosoohical for somwone who's "just a baby."

He's depicted with the ability to speak in manga and light novels released after the anime too, he's basically just as he was in the US Adventure manual (a young boy.)

One growth Kirby has had is that in his figure description in Forgotten Land it states he has become better at not eating everything he sees, which is actually kinda big if you think about it.

He defied Necrodeus, the god of death, in a weakened state

Just to be fair

At last, the wait is over... and man, was it worth it. Kirby is one of those characters that is so simple and yet is kind of an enigma. Granted, Star Allies heavily implies that Kirby and Void are atleast strongly connected in some way, but aside from that, there really isn't all that much when it comes to Kirby's origins. All we know for sure is that Kirby came riding in on a Spring Breeze one day and has been helping Dream Land ever since. And you know what? It ultimately doesn't matter where Kirby came from or how he came to be, what's important to me is that no matter what, Kirby will always remain simple. And that's great! Not every fictional character needs a complex backstory in order to be loved by everyone. Sometimes, all you need is to draw a circle, dot a pair of eyes and add a great big smile...

Kirby is adorable. Kirby is goofy. Kirby is powerful. Kirby is badass. Kirby is endearing. Kirby can become anything. But above all else, Kirby is shaped like exactly what he is: a friend to all. And, well... that's why I love Kirby so much. That's why he's my comfort character. Thanks for doing Kirby justice, Silvery, and I'm looking forward to seeing what you cook up next.

My personal favorite example of Kirby's characterization is probably the one on the Kirby Drama CD released in Japan. His voice and the way he talks just scream "friend" to me.

Kirby will keep fighting to the bitter end to protect dreamland if necessary.

Actually something I’ve noticed, Kirby is getting more powerful overtime, ever so slightly. He didn’t even have copy abilities in the first game, and eventually got his slide hit. In lost land, his dodge is now bullet time.

Brian David Gilbert attempted to deconstruct Kirby during his days in Polygon and became insane
Let's see how it goes here

Kirby is that friend that is going to stay with you no matter what. I love this pink blob so much, it brings me joy.

Who is Kirby? Kirby is Kirby that is all that matters to me, and the minute we have a Kirby game that asks and answers that question,, the better in my opinion.
