Is sir/lady nebula open to giving lessons?

🌌 Nebula Samurai Lesson 🌌

She’s back and available after taking long vacation so she is available for samurai lessons and while Dotty is here as a visit. Lady Nebula been pretty busy on her schedule with her members to train them by helping to be strong and they’re allies with GSA, Kirby and others at some point ^^

Forgive me for my absence. I haven’t been active as much then I used to. I’ve been taking a huge break from social media cause barely post X(

anyways I’ll be working on projects that I’m still cooking so on. stay tuned for her next samurai lessons and rest of my art projects that is coming from my Kirby fan-comic TKCTT everyone ^^’ - 💠🎨Mercy🎨💠

[askthekirbysquad]

"Meta Kniiiiight!!!" Kirby whined, batting at the older puffball with his fists as he leaned against him. "Just let me wiiiiiiiin!"

Meta Knight raised an eyebrow, unbothered by the other's 'attacks'. "And allow you to split yet another one of my masks in half?" He chuckled. "I'm afraid not, Kirby."

The swordsman had already learned that lesson twice by now, after going a little easier on his student and paying the price for it. At this point, with his stash of spare masks dwindling in order to truly challenge Kirby's abilities, he had no intentions of going anything less than all-out.

"You will not get any stronger if you only ever fight against weak foes."

"But it's haaaaard!" Kirby pouted, sinking to the floor. Though he may have been Dream Land's hero and had saved both it and the wider universe on several occasions, Kirby was still a child, and clearly, not one who appreciated losing several times over. "This dumb samurai stuff is different from our usual training!! I can fight really good when it's a normal battle. But this is just waiting... And waiting... And more waiting..." He yawned. Even just talking about all the waiting he had to do was making him tired. "And then when I can actually fight without getting in trouble, I've gotta be really really fast, because I lose if you hit me even once! I don't like it."

"What if you someday face a foe capable of defeating you in one blow?" Given the exceedingly powerful threats Kirby had faced in recent times, such an opponent was not entirely out of the question. So, it was important that, as his mentor, Meta Knight prepared him for the situation before it could arise. "It may be more wise to dodge rather than strike first in such a scenario, that is true, but the point of this exercise is to train your reaction time. Being able to react quickly and intelligently to anything your opponent may throw at you in the heat of battle is a vital skill to learn."

Kirby merely grumbled in response, absentmindedly wondering if there was any copy ability he could use to melt further into the ground. Maybe Meta Knight's lecture made just a teensy tiny little bit of sense, but it didn't make him any less frustrated by the new training regimen.

Meta Knight sighed at the young puff's antics, and produced the Maxim Tomato he had kept safely tucked within his cape. They had been training for a while now, he supposed, and it was good to have small rests every now and then between sessions. ...Even if that was something he himself was notoriously bad at incorporating into his own training. Luckily for the swordsman, Kirby immediately perked up upon seeing his favourite food.

"You will get better with practice, I am sure." Meta Knight said. "You are already quite skilled at spooking Dedede with that party popper, I must say." Handing Kirby the tomato, he added, "Take a break for now, however, and let me know when you are prepared to resume our training."

"Mm-hm! Thank you, Meta Knight!" Kirby gleefully responded, his sour mood forgotten as he held the precious Maxim Tomato in his hands. Good food made everything better! The new type of training was still dumb, in his opinion, and it was gonna be hard to beat Meta Knight with all those extra rules in place, but thanks to his snack, he had a feeling that he could do it!!

...Meanwhile, in the distance and out of sight of the unsuspecting duo, Magolor snickered to himself as he prepared his legion of mini Scarcutter attacks. It was wonderful to see his friends enjoying the theme park he created, and while he did have some Park Manager work to attend to... Well, who's to say he couldn't have his own fun in Merry Magoland's attractions?

Japanese Kirby Fangames!

If we're talking about old Kirby fangames, may I interject with some I've found myself?

So, about two weeks ago give or take I've found a folder I've long forgotten on my computer containing a series of Japanese Kirby fangames I've downloaded from a now defunct Kirby fansite called Ashika no Hobii. It's been a a while since its shut down, so I figured I'd share with those who might be interested in these sorts of things.

Puchi Puchi Kirby - 2016 Karamero Games, Karakara

It's a lemmings type game wherein you use Kirby's abilities to lead Kirby to the goal. The Kirbies will automatically bounce off of any obstruction or wall. This can include using Rock to turn a Kirby into stone so that they become a stone that will cause the Kirbies to go into the opposite direction, Hi-Jump to jump over large gaps, and Sword to break any Star Blocks in your way. It ranges from a medium to high difficulty. You start out with 21 levels so it's not a short game.

Bikaby Land - 2014 Karakara

This is a mirrored styled puzzle game based off of Binary Land where you control the results of Kirby being split in two pieces by Splice n' Slice from Fofa Factor. It's a little tricky because the two mirror each other in opposite directions when it comes to movements but after a bit it becomes really fun!

LOLOLALA - 2021 Karamero Games, Egger Engines Software, Castle Lololo Laboratory

It's a LoloLala fangame, the best way to describe it is to see it as more of a remaster. Comes with a training mode, small adventure mode, and maze mode. You might need some basic knowledge of Japanese to get the full experience of the game. From looking at the credits this was a large fangame project among different people.

Kirby's Word Puzzle - 2013, Karamero Games, Karakara

This is a Japanese Kirby themed word puzzle game. Good way to learn Japanese words related to Kirby. You slide shift blocks from side to side to make words. It has six levels in total.

Balance Number - 2016, Ashika no Hobii, Egger Engines Enterprise

A game where you play as Lolo and have to use numbers to balance a bridge to save Lala. You jump to grab a floating number block and then place it on the red question mark, if your math is correct then it'll balance out. All the while Lala will continue to slowly roll across the bridge. I like this game in particular because it is the closest I'll ever get to a Kirby edutainment game.

Star Breaker - ???, Ashika no Hobii

I believe this is supposed to be a remake of that one block breaker game featuring Rick from Kirby's Toy Box. Not much I can say, it's works well!

GO! Lemi-Robo! - 2018, Ashika No Hobii

This is another lemmings type of game where you play as the robotic Kirby you control in Planet Robobot with the remote controller in those casino levels. However, unlike Puchipuchi Kirby, you don't control with arrows keys and have to actively type out the instructions with really simple code to make it move. I found this game in particular to be fun! Reminder, use 8 and 9 for parenthesis.

There were others like this fangames of Samurai Kirby or a Kirby parody of Action53 in my folder, but to my knowledge those can still be downloaded for now. The games I've listed are from a now defunct (as far as I'm aware of) Japanese Kirby fansite called called Ashika no Hobii (あしかのほびぃ), or ashihobi.net. From what I can tell and gather, the download links for these games are completely gone or lead to dead ends with the site's shut down. You can find the site from the Internet Archive as, thankfully, there were some captures taken. I've downloaded and compiled these games for archival purposes. They work fine but need to be ran with a locale emulator. Some of the games will have a .txt document which has instructions for the games and how to play them, along with credits too.

As a side note, I would like to recommend a YouTube channel, KirbyYellow or きね. They're a channel that does a lot of Kirby quizzes but also makes videos with gameplay on various Kirby fangames and Kirby fan RPGs. If you're interested in looking at niche Kirby fangames, they're the channel you're looking for. They tend to put links to downloads in they description, however, don't be surprised if those links are now defunct.

Could you please tell us more about Leon and Carol's characterizations in the Light Novels that you know of? I'm super curious about their personalities since we don't get a ton to work off of in the Forgotten Land game itself! :)

OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS MY BELOVEDS!!!!! okay so the only one with those two in it ive read myself is the samurai novel ofc, and even then ive only read half of that one, but i do know what happens in the fl novels. tho i wont recount too much from that due to the said, i havent properly read them thing. slight spoilers for samurai novel btw so ill stick this ramble under a cut

disclaimer first of all that since the samurai novel is an au, their personalities could be a bit different from the fl novels (dedede and mk are Veryy different for example), but for the most part i think they act just about exactly how youd expect them to!

leon is exceptionally kind and cares a lot about the rest of the beast pack, to the point of being overprotective at times. when elfilin brings back kirby and bandee to their home saying theyre friends leon just gives them an intense look and acts cold to them, not seeming to trust them. when dedede comes over later and accuses elfilin of being a criminal he gets absolutely FURIOUS, but calms down and apologizes after seeing that hes scaring dedede a little by doing so. he acts how youd expect a leader to too, with an aura of dignity and firm but understanding communications with the rest of the pack, and hes able to put aside his own feelings on things for the greater good.

carol in comparison bounces off of him really well i feel. shes more headstrong and emotionally driven and will huff and puff a little over leon's decisions if she doesnt necessarily agree with them, though she relents to those decisions in the end once leon explains his reasoning. but if its not leon making those decisions she doesnt agree with, watch out. just like the game, she takes position of leader when leons not around and when dedede+meta told her she couldnt go off to forgo dreams to save him she got outright aggressive LOL. shes pretty sharp minded and usually the first to speak her mind. also she shittalked dedede i just wanted to bring that up. we love a mean girl

again im only halfway through, but the beast pack as a whole play a surprisingly big role in the samurai novel. i rlly look forward to seeing more of them >:]]]

How would you rank all the Ace Attorney games you’ve played from favorite to least favorite? You seemed to enjoy all of them, to varying degrees.

So this is actually kind of hard for me to answer depending on whether you base your metric on “how much fun were they to play” “how much do I think to explore the themes / writing / think about the game in general” or “how well written do you think they are”. I’m gonna do all of them and prolly talk a lot so yeehaw. Under the cut bc. surprise surprise! I got long winded

Quick disclaimer: Not including DLC cases or spin off games because if I did we’d be here all day

“How much fun did I have playing through the actual game”

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney

Trials and Tribulations

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

Justice for All

Dual Destinies

Spirit of Justice

This might be kinda surprising to some people considering what I talk about on this blog, but honestly my opinions on these games changed drastically after I had time to ruminate on them. Here’s some explanations if you’re curious!

AA1 very well could be at the top because it was the first game in the series and I was going in fresh— while Turnabout Samurai was a bit of a slog, I managed to get through all of these cases in a day each and just could not put down Turnabout Goodbyes. I don’t think about it as much anymore because it was so foundational and all the things it introduced have been explored by other games, but this game really is the reason I fell into this series with such ferocity.

AA3 was much of the same, and I don’t think I had as much fun with a tutorial case as I did with Turnabout Beginnings. The characterization present in this games and the nonlinearity of the narrative is genuinely fantastic, and my opinion of it has only increased over time.

AA4 is ranked a little lower because I actually wasn’t vibing with the game when I first played it— it was only after Turnabout Succession that everything fell into place and the game skyrocketed up my favorites list. Once I’m finished with all the spinoffs and have some time to chill I actually plan on revisiting it with fresh eyes because I think a second playthrough has the potential to be soooo much better than the first. Also APOLLOOOOOOO he’s my little guy :)

I thought justice for all was fine, but boring. Big Top made me feel some emotions that were less than positive, but generally speaking all the cases were fine but didn’t leave a big impression on me. Also I don’t like Farewell My Turnabout nearly as much as other people— I still like it but it didn’t totally blow me away or anything. Game is still like an 8/10, but it didn’t leave a huge impression on me.

Dual Destinies was confusing as hell timeline wise and it made it kinda difficult to figure out what was even happening, and for that same reason I struggled to attach myself to the plot. The game had some moments that really were stellar but the sheer length and layout of the cases kinda made me wanna cry

I literally only finished this game so I could get to Investigations. Characters were great but it was so. Damn. long.

“How much do I like thinking about the games, its writing, and its themes”

Dual Destinies

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

Trials and Tribulations

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney

Spirit of Justice

Justice for All

This part of the list actually has very little to do with how good I think the games are or how much I like them, but sometimes a game’s themes just Captivate you.

If you’re reading this you’ve probably seen this blog, and you know how I feel about Dual Destinies. I am OBSESSED with this game. I love the characters, I love the themes, and I am fascinated by every part of the writing process and how the game ended up the way it did. I think about this game an unhealthy amount actually. Don’t let my complaining make you think I don’t love this game to pieces. Bc I do. So much.

I love expanding on things. The media I blog about? KIrby and Pokemon, stories that practically beg for you to fill in the gaps and work with their vagueness. So when Takumi handed me a game with half a dozen hanging plot threads and massive time gaps just begging to be filled? You can bet I would never shut the fuck up about it. AJAA my absolute beloved

I could probably talk about Miego for hours. This game is incredible I think about it on the regular. Ough.

This game slams but all the ideas introduced by it have been expanded on and talked about and worked with in a hundred different ways so it’s hard to me to really go back other than to say “wow Turnabout Goodbyes was so fucking good”

Literally the only context in which I think about this game is “this should have been a spinoff” but honestly it barely crosses my mind except when I purposefully try to ignore it

JFA is good and makes me feel absolutely nothing

“How well-written do I think the games are”

Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney

Trials and Tribulations

Apollo Justice Ace Attorney

Justice for All

Spirit of Justice

Dual Destinies

These are suuuuuper close so this list is a lil shakier than the others but explanations are below as usual!

Ok this is really REALLY tough because I think AA1 and AA3 are tied. They both have their moments and I think the themes are incredible, but for the purposes of this list I’m putting AA1 above AA3 because BttT is a little bit absolutely batshit insane? Turnabout Goodbyes is TIGHT. Sorry Godot you’re still my favorite prosecutor ily kitten

See above

I’ve never seen an AA game whose final cases elevates the entire game quite like AA4. I thought the game was good, but the Turnabout Succession hit and oh my GOD. I think about this game constantly it’s so, SO good. Also helps that Apollo really shakes up the series, he’s my favorite species of insect

These cases were fine, Franziska is a solid prosecutor, the whole “chooses death” thing was fresh, and Farewell was some of the best character writing this series has seen. I don’t honestly have much to even say about it bc it’s super solid

The difference between DD and SOJ is that I think DD had a really good story that it failed to tell effectively while SOJ succeeded in telling its story but that story fucking sucks. Jokes aside I don’t like SOJ but the story is cohesive at least. It had a plot. It was Fine. DD failed miserably but oh my god what you could have been. Ily. Mwah.

See above

Sorry this wasn’t a clear ranking / favorites list, hope you enjoyed regardless!!

Character List Update, and Final Story Event of 2024! (11-24-24)

Good evening, Elsternwick! We well and truly hope that you're having a lovely night! We have another update, and this was the one we've been working on for most of the month, so without further adieu, let's get to it!

Character List Master Update!

If you've visited our page, you may have noticed that the "Character Master List" now directly links to this handy Google Doc!

By player request, we have decided to retire the Tumblr Page for characters, as it got quite long and navigating it was difficult for both PC and mobile users! All updates will now simply be made to this google doc, and it has been notarized by franchise to make for easier navigation, and now all fan characters are properly listed in their franchise, rather than be given their own category!

We've been hard at work at this for the past few months, and we're glad to finally have it out! We're also working on a similar but much smaller Reserves list that will look similar and will also be easier to view! The Ban List, as it is right now, will remain, but in the future it may also get a bigger document!

And on that note, we have some new characters!

New Arrivals (11-24-24)

The train has pulled into station, bringing with it many fresh new faces to Elsternwick, we hope you enjoy your stay here!

Floyd Leech (Twisted Wonderland Kemono AU) - Gale Jade Leech (Twisted Wonderland Kemono AU) - Vape Archlich Amygdala (Original Character) - Xeno Kyoko (River City Girls) - Kyle Magolor (Kirby: Return to Dreamland) - Carmine

Reserves

We also have a  few reserves, hopefully soon, we’ll be seeing them, and look forward to whatever plots you may do with them! Haruko Haruhara (FLCL) - Kyle Mizuki (Project Sekai) - Bee

Drops

Lastly, we have a few drops, sorry they didn’t work out, but hope you had fun with them while they lasted! Nakoruru (Samurai Shodown) - Kyle Hat Kid (A Hat in Time) - Bee Amity Blight (The Owl House) Bee Miorine Rembran (Gundam: The Witch from Mercury) - Bee Suletta Mercury (Gundam: The Witch from Mercury) - Doot

And that about does it for the character updates, but that's not all! We also have the third and final Story Event for Elsternwick, this year, we focused on various different parts of Elsternwick (The Undeground, the Museum/Beach), and to round out the year, we're going to be headed to Delta to unearth the secrets of the Creepy Manor!

Macabre Mystery of the Maligned Malicious Mystical Mansion (Story Event: November - January 2025)

The Creepy Manor sitting just outside of Delta's manor has long stood vacant, disappearing and reappearing with each passing century, always changing it's appearance, it has long been a mystery, but a mercifully quiet one... but in recent days, it has grown loud, extraordinarily loud, the doors have opened once again, but the area around the Manor, as well as Delta, are now filled with the brim with horrific mischief!

All throughout Delta, haunting events are unfolding! The Dead and restless spirits roam the Earth once more, timelost objects from different time periods are littering the grounds, and those who come close are sent forwards and backwards in time, strange monsters and masked n'er-do-wellers have been spotted in the manor looking for a lost treasure , and most disturbingly, the ground has been rumbling. Matched with rumors of a wicked evil monster resting in the caverns beneath the Manor, Delta is in danger... and it's up to you to help it!

Throughout this event, focused in Delta, you will be given the option to help in four different ways, each with it's own unique feeling and level of danger!

You can simply stay in Delta, and help deal with it's growing undead problem, be it by helping spirits pass on, stick a stake through an vampire's heart, or simply just burying corpses back beneath the ground, every little bit helps! (Danger Level: Variable - Low)

If you opt to inspect the time-lost items scattering the grounds outside of the Manor, your muse will find themselves propelled backwards... or perhaps forward in time, to unearth the story behind this curio, but take care to not change the future... and who knows? Maybe you'll find a clue about what lurks beneath, or learn some local history by becoming part of it... (Inspired by Eternal Darkness, Danger Level: Medium-High)

Lately in Delta, there have been numerous monster sightings, and whispers and rumors of a lost treasure, deed to land, or a exceedingly shiny diamond, some people think they're real monsters, but perhaps they're just someone in a suit? You'll need to enter the manor itself to solve this mystery, but something tells you this may not be too bad... (Inspired by Scooby-Doo, Danger Level: Low)

Finally, within the bowels of the Creepy Manor lies its secret, something lurks deep within the basement and caverns, and it hungers to be seen and felt. People have gone missing, and whatever is down there may yet wake... you must set the stars wrong again, before all of Delta is in danger! (Inspired by: World of Horror, Call of Cthulhu. Danger Level: VERY HIGH)

Rewards: Helping (Or running!) any of the aforementioned prompts will reward anyone participating with Black Market Passes, Arcadia Tickets, as well as numerous Delta & Creepy themed items that can help (Or hinder!) your muse!

Delta's counting on you, all you need to do is face your fears and step into the mansion... if you're brave enough!

And lastly, as 2024 comes to a close, we have one last event to tease...

Elsternwick Winter Event: December - February 2025

As the Manor howls in anger, Winter's chill air begins to flow into the riverside town, bringing with it shorter days, and longer nights... and beautiful clear skies, giving you a perfect view of the starry night sky, and all the universes in the sky, it's beautiful... if you wish upon a star, maybe it will come true... or perhaps, something just might come to you! You'll find out in this very starry themed Winter to cap off 2024!

We hope you'll look forward to it!

Update Done!

Phew, and that about covers it! Bigger update than usual, but we think i was worth the wait! We hope you enjoy the new Google Doc Master List, a new event, as well as an upcoming one as well!

We hope you enjoyed reading this, and we hope the rest of your autumn and coming Winter is amazing as well!

Winter gives way to Spring, but we'll wait until it's actually here to reveal our next plans for 2025, which should be a lot of fun!

But until then, we can't wait to see what you do with our events, be it Unhappily Ever After, A Mysterious Manor, or just enjoying the crisp Autumn Air... there's a lot to see in Elsternwick!

And there's still yet more to be had once Winter comes...

But until then, we hope the rest of your evening is eventful and fun!

We look forward to whatever you may be up to, both within and without Elsternwick!

See you again soon!

may i just slip in a letter 2 let you know i read & appreciated ur tags. ty for noticing the bells & whistles i put in meta's design, i thought giving him gentlemanly cuffs suited his cool persona { & i haven't posted much recent art of dark meta yet but he has spiked cuffs in contrast }. it makes sense for a character that likes fighting to have scars, but usually they mostly show on his arms & maybe head. there's some more underneath the mask, a scar mirroring dameta's; a misrememberance of samurai kirby, somehow got the idea that meta was the one that got a cut on the cheek; & some miscellaneous ones

& speaking of misunderstandings, for a v long time i drew meta knight's cape as looking like space inside { well, i pretty much copied how Olympia's -- psychic gym leader in pokemon XY -- cloak looked } since it made sense for it to look magical if he can teleport with it, & the idea that he can store stuff in it via pocket dimension { instead of actual pockets he'd keep a chocolate fondant in or something } i pretty much forgot it doesn't actually look like that, despite how much i played games that meta knight was in -w-💦 ah well i'm still keeping it. anyhoo thank you for your time & previous compliments

Oh, you're welcome! It's nothing, I like pointing out the details in the art I reblog because I know the artist would've liked me to notice and stuff. At least, I like it when people point out details in my art, so I return the favor. It's a way to show I appreciate all your hard work.

I like that explanation... It being gentlemanly, it suits him. And it's always cool to learn the reason behind each scar on a Meta Knight design, I think. Honestly, Samurai Kirby was absurdly funny for giving Meta Knight a scar over his eye for extra coolness points. They really thought it was so cool, they made a whole other character based upon that one concept.

As for the cape, it's actually not as much of a misrememberance! Though it might not have been intentional? His cape does actually look like that when he uses his Smash move, Galaxia Darkness.

Galaxia Darkness is in Planet Robobot too but it does not have this effect which sucks. Either way in the end, you were right all along! Never doubt yourself.

And thank you for such a sweet message! I often worry all the compliments are kind of annoying lol but I do want to show my full appreciation whenever possible.

Three in One Post

For my Filipino Friend's On This Day Posts

First one

Looks nice when using an ID to look similar to Persona 3. And since i have played Persona 3 Portable as well as for Persona 3 Reloaded, it would be cool for Murukir to bring Paul, Scottie and Bonn along since the three awaken their Pokemon with their Evokers. Charizard, Cinderace, and Machamp, and even Murukir's Pokemon, Jigglypuff. And for the four of them, they can go save the town from the Dark Hour and avoid having people suffer from Apathy Syndrome. Same goes when the Cartoon Network characters that wanted to do the same thing. For Paul, Scottie, Bonn and Murukir, then can call each other the Pokemon S.E.E.S. and we'll see if Pablo would like to help the four out as well.

Second one

Well since we did celebrate All Saints and Souls day, yesterday, my mom and i went to church after i had lunch, we went into a Cathedral and the weird part about the mass, there was no music. They didn't bring anyone to play the Organ or the piano. I mean the cathedral only has just a church Organ, then afterwards, when my mom and i went to a gift shop, then i spotted some stuff like DVDs and Statues. For the DVDs, i know they showed a DVD, but the DVDs were the Saints and Heroes Collections, all i found was Ben-Hur and the Race to Glory and St. Francis Xavier and the Samurai's Lost Treasure. But normally i do see a lot of Religion DVDs a lot every time i would go to a Religion store with my mom. And with the Statues, I spotted a Mary Statue of her being Pregnant, it was kinda confusing if i thought that was part of the story of the Nativity Scene, i know they did that in the Simpsons when they talked about the origin of Christmas. But if we did that with OCs in a Nativity story of Christmas, i'm sure we might find out. And it looks nice with Spot, Riya and Murukir in line color style since it does remind me of how Kirby's Epic Yarn was like, and i haven't played that game in forever. Ever since my sister and i got that game during Christmas time and after when my sister and i went to see a movie and when we saw Nintendo stuff going on at the mall during Christmas 2010.

And Response to my Filipino Friend

Thanks, i thought Penny would look great as a Witch compared to some of her last costumes she wore a few years back. And i'm sure she and Lighting would both do fun stuff together that time and i'm sure they'll both do something together for this month. And i'm also glad you got to try out that Google Doodle game as well. Because Lisa has been talking about the Google Doodle characters a lot every time she thought of a drawing she did like the Bubble tea one.

tbh with kirby novels i think my personal breaking point was the samurai kirby one, which is also the most recent atm.

it's not translated yet but i know all of the plot details thanks to a good friend who actually knows a bit of japanese. and let's just say i'm very underwhelmed, even though i really should have seen this coming.

gonna hide the rest of the post because there will be spoilers about the novel as well as a bit of ranting about that specific book and kirby light novels as a whole that id imagine not everyone wants to see.

it's all the same trappings mie takase had for the past decade of doing these books repackaged under the new, admittedly flashy, coat of paint.

magolor, of course, is the main antagonist, again.

the main crux of the book is him manipulating everybody to meet his own ends, AGAIN. he even offers kirby to rule the world together or something, AGAIN. takase, you literally used this plot device last year in rtdl novelization, this is embarrassing.

once again we have an awfully boring original side-villain i don't remember the name or design of because has nothing cool or unique going for him. he's not even the true main villain as per usual with magolor stealing spotlight from him in the last second which is just, lol.

once again we have meta knight hogging the most attention in the book by having the most elaborate and "cool" side-plot yet ultimately it has no satisfying pay-off as meta is pretty useless in this book. he doesn't get to help kirby in the climax and the exposition dump he gives out kirby could've been just as well done by elfilin, really.

dedede is once again written as a rude brute that has terrible judge of character that can't seem to ever make the right choices or to even listen to his subordinates that have a leek of common sense. i genuinely don't know how are we supposed to root for this guy, once again, he's this frustrating to follow. only compelling piece of writing he got in this book is him being shocked that he has to capture kirby, hinting at his fondness for the guy, but that's about it.

elfilin and beast pack are sure there! leon sure can speak the same language as everyone else even if the rest of the beast pack still can't, even if this makes no sense here since the only reason he could speak is because of id-f86's mind control and possession.

their inclusion intrigued me at first but the way they were utilized ultimately went nowhere. and i can't say i enjoy the fact that elfilin is being paired with the beast pack as his "found family", when his dynamic with kirby and bandana dee is way more compelling.

so yeah, cool sounding book on paper, but execution is extremely frustrating and underwhelming. if mie takase managed to mess up this awesome concept for a book, even when literally everything was in it's favor of turning out to be one of the series stand-outs, then i literally have no faith in anything else coming next.

magoland novel i think will be the breaking point for most people, since it's announcement became pretty contentious even in japanese fanbase and those guys are usually pretty chill about everything kirby-related from my understanding. things are not looking good for fanbase reception of the novels i think.

i don't know how many people share my view, maybe i'm in minority, but personally i'm kind of tired of putting up with mie takase's frustrating tendency to stick to the same tired tropes she used way too many times at this point instead of attempting something genuinely fresh and new with this world and characters.

Silly Game Time: Who are some of your favorite fighter characters? And what do you like about them?

They can weild any weapon (swords, spears, axes, clubs, knives, bare hands, etc.); they can be of any class or variety of combatant (ones who rely on strength like brawlers or berserkers, ones who use finesse like martial artists or technique masters, ones who balance defensive and offensive equipment like knghts or samurai, etc.); they can be of any race or species (from fantasy or sci-fi); they can even have access to special powers to improve their combat skills (magical, psychic, technological, superpowers, etc.).

What matters is that one of their primary skills, roles in the story, and traits as a character is physical fighting.

“They can wield any weapon-” META KNIGHT META KNIGHT META KNIGHT-

Look at himmmm. He's so goddamn cool. I want to make a 2 hour video explaining the musical motifs of this guy and how they enhance his character arc.

I'll say to put a bit of a limit on things I won't talk about any characters that I've talked about for previous questions of this type. So that said! Karlach, Shadowheart, and Lae'zel!

Karlach being the most classic answer to this sort of question, of course. In my first playthrough I did not fully understand how integral jumping was to the game, so I never got around to recruiting her, and one of my other ongoing playthroughs she has limited presence since I was playing a character who's kinda…well. Anyway. I've been enjoying her in one of my playthroughs, now that I have her.

Shadowheart is a character who could have worked for a previous question, being a cleric and all, but that post felt a bit crowded in terms of magic-users. I still very much love her. She's snarky and goes from goth to cottagecore if you play a certain route. Her arc is beautiful. I feel very gay about her.

Lae'zel. Lae'zelllll. Again, excellent character arc. The way she slowly starts to carve her sense of self, and becomes a more understanding and empathetic person in the process. Or, in another case, the way she's almost unshakingly devoted. She feels very realistic for the environment she grew up in, and I appreciate that she's also a character who gives a lo of lore for the setting.

More fighter Kirby characters who have my whole heart, let's go:

Great personalities for these folks. Great designs too. I am lifting them up to the sunlight like Simba. A lot of fighters in the series have lots of chivalry and loyalty to them. The Meta-Knights take "will go down with the ship" literally. Knuckle Joe is a daddy's boy and full of energy. Sword Knight and Blade Knight are ride-or-die for Meta Knight, and make a great team. Bandanna Dee had a self-sacrifice so moving it brought them from side character to player 2. The three mage sisters are named after their weapons, and I'm glad they're getting a break after being uh…carved out of their religious circle, even after doing all they could to save their cult leader, formerly their kind of father figure? Kirby lore is wild…

Oh, and some Fire Emblem fighters who have my heart and soul:

I love perfectionists who can kick my ass, what can I say.
