Probably why Metaknight has a huge army of minions at his disposal confirmed mainly by waddle'dees and the waddle'dees stand out for being very disciplined beings and masters in many professions, there are all kinds, cooks, technicians, mechanics, electrical and security, How did he convince them to join his army? He probably offered them a job opportunity and to stay on the halberd in addition to having almost unlimited resources such as energy and food and probably some salary or maybe he has also submitted or forced them but that doesn't fit with the current Metaknight and with the classic one I see it as reliable but not so much Where does Metaknight get so much money to maintain his ship and crew? Maybe he's a bounty hunter who caught criminals on a daily basis or maybe King DDD paid him when Metaknight was still your washbasin and this was saved over the years.
I think the reason he didn't help Kirby fight off dark metal knight was another form of chivalry respect, as I think he thought of it as Kirby's fight. Although I'm not too knowledgeable of the Kirby lore, so this is pure speculation
Also, I think the reason DeeDee and Meta Knight fought Kirby instead of explaining the situation was due to sheer panic at letting him get close. Sure, a bit out of character for Meta Knight possibly, but I think I could see Dedede being like that (Again, I don't know much about Kirby, so if I got anything wrong, please feel free to yell at me)
Also, to add onto this point, there is the fact that the ending shows the 4 Kirby's leaving the Mirror World, it could be argued that the Fight with Dark Meta Knight could have been 4 Kirby's vs 1 Dark Meta Knight canonically, so he might of thought that he wasn't needed to help (especially so since Kirby could have likely called them up to help fight DMK as well) :)
@@TopHatMacadamia Let's see, Kirby, a literal god killer and possibly a god itself, + 3 perfect copies of itself, all 4 acting in perfect synchronicity, vs Dark Meta Knight and then Dark Mind, and adding to Kirby's team the knight who defeated the MOST POWERFUL WARRIOR IN THE GALAXY, Yeah, I think I see why Meta Knight didn't think a 5v1 was necessary or even fair
I interpret the Amazing Mirror thing as Meta Knight not having enough time to get in the portal. That thing closes right after Galaxia (or Master in this game) is tossed in so Meta Knight saw the portal closing and lent a hand in the best way he could.
@@Theorangebuffoon7428Meta Knight's actions in Squeak Squad could be attributed to him sometimes not thinking everything through. He bum rushed into the Mirror World which got him ambushed, he flew his significantly smaller Halberd to the Access Ark and after it got decimated probably flew into enemy headquarters with no plan and got ambushed again. He probably got corrupted by taking zero precautions with the Jamba Hearts in Star Allies as well if I were to put money on it. I'm not saying Meta Knight's stupid, just that he can be a bit impulsive despite his experience as a warrior.
Meta Knight didn't just fend off a pack of beasts one time. He's the reason the waddle dees in forgotten land are even alive. When Kirby was adventuring around, he apparently whooped gorimondo's ass a minimun of 20 times, which stopped him from attacking waddle dee town.
I would like to clarify that in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Meta Knight is shown vigilantly watching over Waddle Dee town because Gorimondo (the 1st world boss) has attacked the town previously. It states in one of the figurines that Meta Knight had successfully defeated Gorimondo 30-0 before and during Kirby’s adventures. While Gorimondo isn’t as powerful as other threats like Galacta Knight, Meta Knight certainly deserves a higher placement for protecting the town successfully while Kirby is away.
I agree with the rankings, but I think you sold him as a bit too weak. Yeah, he lost to Kirby a bunch, but Kirby is literally an eldritch being of unfatomable power, love and good vibes
I agree. He literally says that he's the strongest warrior in the galaxy, except for Kirby at least, since we see Kirby beat Galacta Knight in the arenas and he also beats Meta Knight.
Just a nitpick, Meta Knight is not edgy. The definition of edgy simply doesn't apply to him. Dark Meta Knight is edgy, 100%, but not normal Meta Knight. He is stoic, serious, and likes hiding his face and fighting the main character sure, but none of that makes him edgy. He is also honorable, heroic, selfless, and kind, which doesn't spell edgy at all. I know this is a small thing to be stuck on, but I just personally hate it when people misuse the word edgy and just label any stoic and serious character with it. It just feels disingenuous.
He also sets his minions on you. It actually implies the main traits he's known for to this day already applied: he's willing to honor his duty to protect the star rod piece but would prefer Nightmare was vanquished, so he both helps and tests/attacks Kirby so Kirby can deal with Nightmare once he's freed.
I did always love how in return to dreamland meta knight survived the longest out of the companions while on the other dimension ride, by deflecting some attacks where the other 2 practically got hit immediately
The pause description in star allies says Meta Knight was secretly always capable of all those new moves, he just didn't know it until the heart's corruption awakened the skills, which is proven in the very next game where he uses the new moves again despite not being corrupted or controlled by anything
The meta-knights were not introduced in super star, they've been with him since the start (they were a recurring midboss summoned by Meta Knight back in Kirby's adventure)
10:11 I think it was revealed in a Miiverse post that the Meta-Knights repaired the Halberd again while Meta Knight was under control. Which is weird because you'd assume that Haltmann would raid his ship after knocking it down, but nope. Just take over Dedede's blimp instead
That’s yours? Ayo I’ll pin your comment and you can add links to your other stuff. Great work, it was impossible to find a meta knight that showed any emotion lol.
While it would kinda take away the whole mystery aspect of him, it would be great if the next Kirby game finally gave us the much needed information on Meta Knight we’ve all been really wanting. Or at least I’ve been wanting. Come on Hal, I just want to know his backstory!
I like how there is a canon explanation for why Kirby isn't the strongest warrior. Because he not a warrior, he's canonically a god. He's the good version of the monster you fight at the end of star allies
IIRC the devs purposely made it unclear if Void Termina was actually a god or not since they didn't feel it was completely right for Kirby to fight one. In another interview, they said not to completely trust Hyness since he was insane during Star Allies. They also wanted to make it vague if if they were related or not. Arguing that the reason Void Termina copied his face could've been because Kirby is the first thing it saw since being reawakened With all that being said though, I still believe they're related. Since it explains so many things like Dark Nebula's, Gooey's, and Miracle Matter's Copy Abilities
You know meta knight isn't easily control. He always fight the control like the heart, he still give you a sword, in yarn adventures, he try many time to gain back control. He didn't help kirby maybe because he knew that he wouldn't be able to help him much. In amazing mirror he maybe didn't had time to go in the portal after dark meta knight defeat. Only the robot control was enough to make him fully obedient
In every form of media the sword is the most important possession of a knight so the fact that he gives Kirby his sword in both Amazing Mirror and In Forgotten Land shows that he truly respects Kirby and he knows that Kirby is a god compared to his strength. Side note: I think it would be really cool if we could see Kirby's and Meta Knight's home planet. It is heavily implied that Galacta Knight is also the same Species as Kirby and Meta Knight, so Kirby's species is probably one of the most powerful species in the universe because every character of that species that we have seen so far is basically a god
There is no clear origin to the knight species, it's implied that kirby has no homeworld and that he was created as a result of feeding positive emotions to a void incarnation.
First off, Meta Knight being able to take on Galacta Knight all by himself and therefore being the strongest warrior? Not technically canon. The Meta Knightmare modes are not canon to the main Kirby timeline, so Meta Knight may or may not be that powerful. Benefit of the doubt, though, he probably can take down Galacta Knight and become the strongest warrior in the galaxy. The reason why he can't beat Kirby is because... Kirby isn't a warrior. He's an eldritch being who is thankfully also a nice and happy ball of cuteness. He doesn't train to fight, has no true style with weapons. He just copies what others can do, hence why he's not a warrior. Meta Knight, however, IS a warrior, hence why he has the ability to be a candidate for strongest warrior in the galaxy.
The destined rivals is likely a reference to Kirby right back at ya! Where Meta knight "works" for Dedede as an enforcer. But all he does is look cool and mooch off Dedede as he embezzles the citizens of Dream land in order to build his spaceship.
*my ranking (prepare for all the "elite"s) Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dreamland (especially) - elite Kirby's Pinball Land - worthless (which is disappointing for his OP standards because here, while not too mean-spirited, he also barely feels like an actual character) Kirby's Avalanche - pretty badass (which is one of the few things this game got right; yeah, because of the amazing quality of Kirby games, it can be considered Kirby Super Star/Ultra (especially) - elite Kirby Right Back At Ya! - elite (with the best performance by a 4Kidz actor whom in this case would have to be Eric Stuart at that time in the mid-2000s, I was thinking about whether or not to eventually making a Kirby movie with Antonio Banderas as Meta Knight, Timothee Chalamet as Kirby and Ray Romano as King DeDeDe) Kirby's Air Ride - pretty badass (okay, for an unlockable character, perhaps he may have his nitpicks when you play as him, but still, Meta Knight and most Kirby games including this one are too awesome to be ranked "Mid-a Knight" at best) Kirby and the Amazing Mirror - barely does anything Kirby Canvas Course - barely does anything Kirby Squeak Squad - pretty badass Kirby's Epic Yarn - barely does anything (and yet this game is epic, no pun intended) Kirby's Return to Dream Land/Deluxe - elite Kirby Planet Robobot - elite Kirby Battle Royale - Mid-a Knight Kirby Star Allies - pretty badass (a similar ranking to this game because while it objectively could've done more than what it had, even with the updates, as a Kirby game that can be considered mid at worst, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have fun with it) Kirby Super Clash - worthless Kirby Fighters 2 - Mid-a Knight Kirby and the Forgotten Land - pretty badass (but not as badass as the game, lol)
I appreciate the placement in Robobot Meta Knight, he is clearly not fit to face the boss fight, but he has put a lot of effort to help Kirby succeed in his win. How nice of em to make sure Kirby landed safely in the end
Tbf, him and dedede do both refuse to explain things to kirby but in all fairness kirby is essentailly a baby In the kirby right back at ya anime there are times when characters try to explain things to kirby but he just doesnt undwrstand because hes just a child
In my school vr game, there's a side quest line called Meta Knightmare and it is elite (he has 5 bosses like, Dark Shadow from My Hero Academia, The Shade Lord from Hollow knight, The Levthiathen Grim from RWBY, Nightmare Moon from My Little Pony and finally Sera From Hazbin Hotel)
The Meta-Knights actually first appeared in Kirby's Adventure. Meta Knight occasionally showed up throughout the levels to sick them onto Kirby. Actually, I'm surprised you didn't mention that. Or how he would also randomly show up to give him items like Invincibility Candies
I like how after his boss battle in Superstar, he runs off, picks up a new mask, and then continues to chase after Kirby. Gotta keep up appearances. And I respect him for that.
A thing that isn't noted during the fight in Kirby's Adventure is primarily he is testing Kirby throughout the game. It is why he also helps by giving healing items despite sicking his minions on you. It is really a test to see if Kirby is ready to take on Nightmare since his release is kind of inevitable Same could probably be said for his encounter in Squeak Squad, although his more aggressive fighting style does indicate he isn't sure on if Kirby should even take on Dark Nebula.
WOAH He does way more in kirby battle royale than just be an unlockable character. he is the strongest opponent other than king dedede and is the penultimate opponent in the Cake Royale (or main story mode). Everyone throughout the game including bandana waddle dee (who is your teammate) constantly talks about how fearsome and strong he is.
I've always thought his role in Kirby Fighters 2 was weird. He doesn't strike me as somebody who would team up with Dedede for the sole purpose of petty revenge. At least without some ulterior motives
Jeremy didnt you forget that after you beat Meta Knight in Forgotten Land you get his sword. so he yet again gives Kirby the tools to win the game? he seems pretty darn useful here and i think he should have been elite.
I think In the games where he sits on the side to let Kirby do most or all of the work is just because he wants Kirby to become a better and stronger hero. That’s basically why he does it in the TV show. I think that can easily translate to his reasoning in the games too, most of the time.
)9:20 Meta Knight does show up in page 18 of the Secret Diary in Rainbow Curse (he looks weird). If Pinball Land gets to be in the WORTHLESS tier then Rainbow Curse also deserves a spot in the WORTHLESS tier
My headcannon for metaknightmare and metaknightmare ultra is that meta knight forgot his cape in the all powerful washing machines that are the dream fountain and nova
12:21 to be fair he is the strongest Warrior that _isnt a literal god_ Kirby's the literal definition of destruction only because of void and yet chooses to eat during half of his existence on popstar
I think the rain kirby isn't the strongest warrior in the galaxy is because he isn't a warrior, he's a hero, and that slight technicality keeps that title away from him
dude He's pretty much useless cause' in the forgotten land you can go in the tournament and just wait for meta knight to charge at you, if you ONLY have sword fighting him wait for him to slide or charge at you at that moment press the B button then keep pressing be then you'll get his sword, then he gets his sword from older kirby games.
I think the reason metaknight seems useless in a lot of appearences is because he is dreamlands first line of defense, kirby doesnt even realize that something happened until metaknight either failed to or chose not to stop a threat
4:52 Don't you get it? Meta Knight is the kind of person that prefers a fair 1v1, he couldn't beat his dark version so he decided to let Kirby do the job for him.
Theres a very good reason kirby isnt considered when meta knights called the strongest warrior in the universe. Kirby isnt a warrior, he fights if he needs to, but he much prefers sleeping and eating.
I just want to point out that Meta knight was easily mind controlled by yin yarn but Forgo failed to get him PROVING yin yarn is the strongest kirby boss ever
Idk kinda unfair to downgrade him on Forgotten Land just because a "we dont see much" he was capable of resist (spoiler?) Forgos control which none of the rest could, gives Kirby a fight purely for a friendly check-in on their strength, and the rest which was mentioned. (Also fought 40 Times I think Gorimondo, now thats a pro movement) But yeah kinda wish he had more to do, on the finale as Dedede *kind of* did.
No, there was all the Kobe colors so you know Colby is not a person but a species so meta knight should be another Colby so technically they’re in deluxe
Didn't Kirby's Adventure start the running thing of Meta Knight being the one to throw powerups like invincible candy for Kirby to use onto the level, or did they add that in later?
Meta Knight's real feat is somehow rebuilding his ship faster each time its wrecked. Like seriously, that thing is huge, how does he do it
Right!
He has a whole order of knights, like, he is an actual chapter master with servants, workers and lands to his name.
He probably has a bunch in stocks somewhere, with how many minions he seems to have, I wouldn't be surprised if they just built it back.
Probably why Metaknight has a huge army of minions at his disposal confirmed mainly by waddle'dees and the waddle'dees stand out for being very disciplined beings and masters in many professions, there are all kinds, cooks, technicians, mechanics, electrical and security, How did he convince them to join his army? He probably offered them a job opportunity and to stay on the halberd in addition to having almost unlimited resources such as energy and food and probably some salary or maybe he has also submitted or forced them but that doesn't fit with the current Metaknight and with the classic one I see it as reliable but not so much Where does Metaknight get so much money to maintain his ship and crew?

Give dedede credit in adventure the manual reveals that he TRIED to tell kirby but the pink puff ignored him
I think In the games where he sits on the side to let Kirby do most or all of the work is just because he wants Kirby to become a better and stronger hero. That’s basically why he does it in the TV show. I think that can easily translate to his reasoning in the games too, most of the time.
I think just because it is off screen, his part in Kirby and the Forgotten Land is great
Meta Knight really doesn't do much if you think about it
I’d say the reason Meta Knight is still the greatest warrior in the galaxy is because Kirby isn’t a warrior, he’s a friend :)
Forgot to mention the invincible candies he gifts Kirby in Adventure
After so long he finally dose meta knight give up for him yaaaaaaaaaaaaa
)9:20 Meta Knight does show up in page 18 of the Secret Diary in Rainbow Curse (he looks weird). If Pinball Land gets to be in the WORTHLESS tier then Rainbow Curse also deserves a spot in the WORTHLESS tier
Still here watching your videos!!!
“He finally uses his words, which is progress.”😂
Ok so the invading purple stuff in star allies is the remnants of an ancient dark god. So makes sense why he couldn’t do much
He still offer a sword to kirby so he wasn't fully control unlike the mecha knight
THAT'S 3 WORDS "smacks with a long sandwhich"
My headcannon for metaknightmare and metaknightmare ultra is that meta knight forgot his cape in the all powerful washing machines that are the dream fountain and nova
12:21
to be fair he is the strongest Warrior that _isnt a literal god_
Kirby's the literal definition of destruction only because of void and yet chooses to eat during half of his existence on popstar
Meta Knight is such a cool lil guy I love him
Who doesn’t?! (The manga writers probably, but we don’t talk about that-)
I think the rain kirby isn't the strongest warrior in the galaxy is because he isn't a warrior, he's a hero, and that slight technicality keeps that title away from him
You could argue in amazing mirror that he's still recovering from his beating but idk
12:24 because kirby is no warrior. He doesn't have a code of honor.
dude He's pretty much useless cause' in the forgotten land you can go in the tournament and just wait for meta knight to charge at you, if you ONLY have sword fighting him wait for him to slide or charge at you at that moment press the B button then keep pressing be then you'll get his sword, then he gets his sword from older kirby games.
I think the reason metaknight seems useless in a lot of appearences is because he is dreamlands first line of defense, kirby doesnt even realize that something happened until metaknight either failed to or chose not to stop a threat
"Come back when you can put up a fight !"

Rank Every Starter Pokémon Based On How Many Gyms They Are Useless Against!
I wish Meta Knight was able to get his own spinoff games kinda like Wario land
The render in the thumbnail… it was made by my goat
4:52 Don't you get it? Meta Knight is the kind of person that prefers a fair 1v1, he couldn't beat his dark version so he decided to let Kirby do the job for him.
Theres a very good reason kirby isnt considered when meta knights called the strongest warrior in the universe.
Kirby isnt a warrior, he fights if he needs to, but he much prefers sleeping and eating.
Kirby isn't a warrior he is a guardian
6:52 😄 Nice reference.
Meta Knight in Super Smash Bros Brawl is his real raw strength
Please do this with Dr. Cortex next
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS FINALY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad news, every Meta Knightmare gamemode is actually not canon to the story
Can you make how worthless Mario is in every Mario game
I will always be elite 🗡️
I just want to point out that Meta knight was easily mind controlled by yin yarn but Forgo failed to get him PROVING yin yarn is the strongest kirby boss ever
Pretty meta night had a used a forgotten land cause when Kirby gone meta knight protects the area from the beast pack
Idk kinda unfair to downgrade him on Forgotten Land just because a "we dont see much" he was capable of resist (spoiler?) Forgos control which none of the rest could, gives Kirby a fight purely for a friendly check-in on their strength, and the rest which was mentioned.
(Also fought 40 Times I think Gorimondo, now thats a pro movement) But yeah kinda wish he had more to do, on the finale as Dedede *kind of* did.
Wasn't there a Meta Knight skin in Dream Buffet, or am I dreaming that?
I read this as "Ranking How USELESS Meta Kirby is in Every Kirby Game".
No, there was all the Kobe colors so you know Colby is not a person but a species so meta knight should be another Colby so technically they’re in deluxe
You should do how useless Protoman is in Megaman games
You think Puo Puo is the same in Kirby as it is in Sonic the Hedgehog were instead of a video game it's a sport people play
Didn't Kirby's Adventure start the running thing of Meta Knight being the one to throw powerups like invincible candy for Kirby to use onto the level, or did they add that in later?
Our boy
Man I love the lore drops in the comments
you forgot kirbys toy box for the satelaview
The reason Kirby isn’t summoned as the strongest warrior in the galaxy is Kirby does not fight as a warrior he was fight his friends most the time
Meta knight is so cool
Good list
Thanks!
6:50 Esos son dos consejos
¡Eh!
