The Kirby franchise has exactly two gears: adorable romp and cosmic horror. There is very little in-between.
That's because Kirby himself is both of those things. He's an adorable little guy who you just wanna squish and hug, but he's also a terrifying entity of great power if you think about what his powers actually mean lol. He will literally always be able to beat you if he swallows you
Kirby himself is technically both.
kirby is kawaii cosmic horror. a kawosmic horror if you will...i hate that i said that but i'll stand by it
You can get a little shonen anime tossed in there sometimes too, as a treat
He’s so good, he literally has no single bad bone in his body. His cosmic horror powers is so powerful, it can bring positivity to even the strongest of entities in Kirby. Through death…
Ironic that Kirby of all franchises instills doubt and paranoia into its players whenever a cute lil skrunkly shows up. *ALSO* the significance of Morpho Knight is far more important than meets the eye. FEAR THE BUTTERFLY.
Beware the butterflie!
I love Planet Robobot with a passion but dear lord is it *dark.* There are certain forces in this series that are insanely powerful, primal even. Two of the most important are the power of emotions and the power of someone or something's soul. The fact StarDream OS forcefully ripped Holtmann's soul is a fate far, far worse than death. Your soul is what makes you, well you.
Love how the Kirby interpretation of the literal grim reaper is a butterfly
For real. Myself and every creator I watched play Forgotten Land took one look at Elfilin and were like, "I know you're gonna' be the final boss somehow. I ain't trustin' you a quarter of the distance I can throw you, those animals were after you for a reason!"
@@Nyahahamehaas it turns out, you would be half right
Note: this video came out BEFORE forgotten Land, Which goes into more Depth on the Ancients and who they were, along with more info on morpho knight
aND HERE WE ARE
ANd heHERE WE ArE
And then there was a second video made in retaliation
Forgotten Land is amazing
That Butterfly just causes dread on sight now for Kirby fans.
The beautiful thing about Kirby lore is that it gets so dark and intense, in almost every game, and constantly gets more complex with each release. But through all of it, there is one bright soul who could not care less about the lore or it's dark implications: Kirby himself, who just wants to sleep, eat, and play his days away with his friends.
Kirby is about the power of joy and friendship being greater than any dark or cruel forces. Before monsters and demons, before devestation and destruction, Kirby stands defiant of the horror. Because he knows he can make it better.
Alicia reacting to 40k: “more torture, yes!”
Alicia reacting to mildly evil plot in Kirby: “oh no!!!!! This is so bad!”
One is parody and the other one is realizing that the little kitten named Mittens has planned the downfall of a nation. You just don't expect it
Edit: it seems how I've never owned a cat is showing rather hard with my comparison xD
@@robrib2682As a Chess player, I absolutely would expect the kitten named Mittens to plot world domination.
@@RuyVuusenAgreed, i never trust a mittens

Kirdy goes from 'Happy Fun Time Game' to 'Confront Your Nightmares Made Manifest' to 'Cosmic Horror' in a relatively short span of time.
The Kirby universe has already been through what the 40K universe is going through right now. Kirby would kick down the door to Tzeentch's realm, beat him up, take all the food, then leave. All because Tzeentch took his cookies or something.
True and Squid boi csnt do nothin about it
Kirby is inscrutable to Tzeench, unbowed by Nurgle, more powerful than Khorne, and untempted by Slanesh. He’d kick chaos’s ass.
@@lordfelidae4505 Sorry, Kjorne, Kirby's got a FNP on 1 and up. Try harder nest time, big guy.
@lordfelidae4505 Slaanesh may try to bribe Kirby with food.
It may end in a "Thor almost drinks all the seas" situation before Kirby beats their ass in a way they wouldn't like.
@@omoriperocondrip9130 The biggest flaw in trying to manipulate Kirby with food is that his huger isn't all-consuming.
Kirby's more than happy to share his food with his friends. Also, Kirby's isn't on a quest to feel full, he just really enjoys eating food.
Kids: "Hehe, cute pink ball."
Adults: "He's an Eldritch God."
A cute pink eldritch god.
sometimes its the other way around
He is the good eldritch God surprisingly since there's so many horrible eldritch Gods in his Universe
A sign of Kirby maturity is when you involuntarily doubt any and all cute puffballs
Adults: He's also ****in' adorable and I want to protect him.
Probably my favorite part of Galacta Knight is how he constantly appeared in non-canon side modes before fusing with the Butterfly to become Morpho Knight, who appeared in a canon fight the game after its introduction (Forgotten Land) which technically brings Galacta Knight into the canon of the games despite never fighting him directly in a canon game. Talk about being dealt a dirty hand
I’ve heard he was “sealed outside of canon.”
This is where the meme of "Bayonetta cannot fight Kirby" comes from. Killing primordial entities of chaos and destruction is Bayonetta's fetish, and Kirby is not old enough to consent.
I didn't know about that. Although I wouldn't say it's a fetish for Bayo. She's just super good at it.
@@Reaperkitty918 Like I said, it's a meme. You don't have to take it entirely literally.
"I'm sorry, if you're not even old enough to drink, I'm afraid you're not my kind of dance partner."
"...Poyo?"
"...No, put the glass of milk down, that's not the type of 'drink' I mean. You'll understand when you're older."
@@LordTyphI love that.
Starbomb would disagree.
Another Kirby lore reaction! WOO WOO WELCOME TO THE CLUB
Just a little note about Merryweather because of the beginning: He's only a writer, he makes the stories and writes the lore for some vtuber lore videos and he then hires artists to draw his stories since he himself can't draw and funny story man was literally putting out so many stories at one point that the amount of artist he was commissioning at the same time caused him to just form his own LLC(forgot if it was legal reasons or convenience).
I was shocked to hear Merryweather mentioned at the start, big fan of Everywhere and Nowhere though
Don't forget he intentionally drags out his stories and puts them on hiatus for months to years when his artists are tired or drawing his comics
I wouldn't worry too much for Taranza. In Kirby Clash 2, you can find him chilling in a village, admiring the day with a flower. And in the Star Allies menu skits (where sets of allies will appear and interact with one another) Taranza can be spotted trying to chat up with the female allies and becoming friends with the bug allies. So he's moving on, at least a little.
Also the lore can get even more in depth on the characters. For example: I'd highly recommend Designing For's video on The Regal Heart of King DeDeDe - Designing for Kindness.
idk what's more exciting, you finally getting to experience the deep lore of the Kirb, or the fact that Merry joined the chat
Yes, yes, yes, times a thousand. We eating good today people!
So the thing is, kirby didn't always have lore like this, it had implications of lore with the dark matter trilogy, but the lore started happening a lot more when kirby superstar ultra showed up, there was a new creative director from there on, and ever since then the pause screens had a lot of lore in them. And he started looking back at past kirby adversaries and started to tie them all together into a bunch of interconnected origins. It's pretty cool when you get into it.
Shinya Kumazaki, the man himself.
And he's an artist too, and if ya look at his gallery, that's where you realize why, ever since Canvas Curse and SSU, the last bosses have such a big contrast to the rest of the character designs. A good kind of contrast.
I hope she watches the sequel video to this, because it really puts a neat bow on the kirby lore.
Replying to boost the algorithm.
Not a fan of the sequel, too many theories with little evidence.
Here's an interesting tidbit
The director of the Dark Matter trilogy (Kirby's dreamland 2 and 3, Kirby 64) has pretty much disappeared and retired
No one knows his current where abouts
Also Sakurai the creator of Kirby is the one behind the super smash brothers games
That's oddly creepy
bro gave kirby a harem then dipped
Huh? @@inpain6107
Kirby lore is one long SCP report.
The containment procedure for Kirby is just 458 and 4503.
@@runedoom object class would probably be “Safe” unless provoked. In which case it would be upgraded to Keter.
ALICA NGL I HAVE NEVER INVOLUNTARILY POGGED SO HARD AT A YT THUMBNAIL!!!
Kirby is needlessly close to my heart and I love your content so THANK YOU SM!!!!
Alicia: Haha cute man eating blob
*sees deep lore of Kirby*
Alicia: Wait there’s lore?!
46:12 - To elaborate, Hyness straight up uses their unconscious bodies as baseball bats, shot puts, a barricade, and, of all things, a wheel during his boss fight. Equal parts hilarious and messed up.
I think the wheel was a twisted version of the Friend Circle attack that you can do at certain points in the game.
@@spongeintheshoe It is, that’s the point. But I’m not gonna explain game mechanics to someone who hasn’t started playing the series, let alone Star Allies in particular.
Fun fact about Kirby, his name actually came from the name of a Lawyer, John Kirby, that saved Nintendo when they were sued by Universal in the 80s, over them using the word Kong for Donkey Kong, which they claimed ownership over due to them owning the rights to King Kong.
and they then went on to sue Palworld over the concept of 'capturing a creature in an object'.
While Kirby's age is nebulous, he is technically considered an infant in canon.
Which makes his power even more fucking terrifying, what will he be able to do once he is older??
@@omnisans1649that's a good question...
EES A BAYBEEEEE!!!
You could say he's just a baby.
@@omnisans1649He'd be a positive version of Void Termina. Also as far as i heard, in some Kirby Manga i think (Dont Quote me on that cuz idk 100%), Kirby literally has the Abillity to rewrite Reality, for example, he didnt exist anymore, so he literally rewrote it so that he would exist again, just because he was Hungry.
Woolie VS Kirby Lore videos go more indepth on certain aspects covered here but man his presentation is perfect for October
Also Woolie is a pretty chill guy
yo seconded woolie's kirby lore is next level
Put a third vote on this, would love to see this!
Woolie just shows that Kirby is Darksouls with a cute filter.
I want to give this a thumbs up, but I don't want to be the one to break the 69 score.
Yeah, the Woolievs videos are way more in depth than this one.
51:20 i kinda love the picture that's depicted on the screen here, while taranza and susie wish nothing more than seeing their dead loved ones once again, kirby just wants to eat a cake. peak comedy.
53:36
That is an excellent theory. Morpho Knight (the butterfly) makes a return in Forgotten Land in a legitimate canon fashion, as far as I am aware, and proceeds to absorb the remnants of an entity that can travel dimensions. So that is a pretty fair assumption.
Oh boy here we go! Kirby lore goes so deep
It's a fun rabbit hole
Also Kirby is so adorable
Breaths in
Looks around
Gets on table
THATS WHAT SHE SAID
This one is older one from 4 years ago - creator of the video last year actually made a FOLLOW UP video called "Attempting to explain MORE Kirby Lore in one video" which covers even more lore bombs dropped in recent Kirby games, especially "Kirby and The Forgotten Lands".
FEAR THE BUTTERFLY FOR IT COMES FOR US ALL.
Every kirby game starts out as "OH NO! ALL THE SWEETS IN DREAMLAND HAVE BEEN TAKEN BY THE MEANIE KING!" and ends with "... and then Kirby defeated the Eldritch Horror that threatened to consume all of existence. The End"
Dark Matter's weakness is quite literally the power of friendship. I mean, the power of friendship IS quite effective against the lonelyness of a sad bean :)
Because Kirby is a sweet ball of goodness who deserves everyones full respect and sincerity.
Because Kirby is fuckin lit. Never came across anyone who actually hates him.
Man Kirby Lore is so wild
Kirby 64 is basically Inyuasha and Kirby Planet Robot is basically Gurren Lagann lol
Just heads up that this video has a sequel that goes over the newer games in the series and clears up some of the confusion caused by mistranslations in some of the past games, should definitely check it out!
For anyone who hasn’t seen it, the Kirby anime is one of the most insane things I’ve ever seen, highly recommend it
The coolest thing about all this is that Kirby straight up doesn’t care about his own lore he just likes to read eat and have fun with his friends and if anything would try and interrupt that he will do anything to stop it
I’ve been playing Kirby games my whole life. Squeak Squad is one of my all-time favorites. It’s fantastic.
4:57: The one that is shown on the screen is Kirby: Super Star Ultra, released in the year 2008, which is a remake of Kirby: Super Star, that came out in 1996. However, the first Kirby game that came out was Kirby's Dream Land in 1992.
The deepest lore piece about Kirby: he is friend shaped. ❤
Not even ironic. At the core of his being, the purpose of his life, he is a friend.
Yeah the star dream one is just pure evil. When you finally beat it and it falls into pieces you can hear haltmans final cry out slowed
I don’t know if Alicia knows Woolie at all but his series on Kirby lore hits the spooky cosmic horror vibe perfectly.
So yeah if she’s interested Woolie vs Kirby Lore is fun.
Brooooooo I just realized something big for kirby lore. At 9:09, Shiver Star is thought to be a post-apocalyptic earth. However if we look at the release dates for the game and the kirby tv show "Right Back at Ya" You'll see that Crystal Shards came out on 2000, but the show came out on 2001. Therefore I think that Shiver Star is really just Earth in its Ice Age and Crystal Shards is millions of years ago.
If you wanted a little more depth in the lore per-game, I can highly recommend the WoolieVS' Kirby Lore series. He also did an officially sponsored, by ArcSys, complete timeline video series of Guilty Gear's story across the games.
You seeing a moogle for the first time makes me want to see you go on a deep dive looking through all the cutesy/weird iconic mascot chars of other game series
Oh yeah, that 8 inch pink marshmallow baby is a demon
Kirby would be more like an angel, dark mater or one of the other 3-4 creatures similar would be demons
He's the super tough pink puff
It’s fucking wild how hard Kirby lore goes and how deep it gets
Kirby's resume says "I kill a god every Tuesday".
19:29 A pink blob who has cannonically killed 9 to 11 gods.
I swear, few things... _consistently_ break reactors, as much as learning the story of Planet Robobot, and I love it.
I like kirby has "what if" games and modes. I've always loved those types of scenarios in many media. One of my favorites was the "what if" in the first danganronpa game.
A boi slaps his thighs once and he goes down in history as some kind of beautiful, misunderstood, sassy monster.
Congratulations! Your now (mostly) caught up on Kirby lore, know you can play Kirby and the forgotten land, as well as keep an eye out for the extra lore that comes out of the remakes
I just want to mention for Amazing Mirror... Kirby was split into 4 Kirbys at the beginning of the game... But doesn't reform back into one Kirby at all in the end of that game. Like no joke there's basically just 3 other Kirbys hanging around in Kirby's world. They help sometimes or play mini games with the original Kirby or at least that's what I assume is happening when you can play as multiple Kirbys in other games and the mini games. But they are just there. XD
37:37 that's a great question, RPG Monger either dropped the ball in explaining that, or he did and you didn't pay attention to the explanation, dunno, wasn't paying attention (lmao)
Basically, they can't, a wish was already made for that particular Nova, Novas are either one time use, or literally can't stop until they fully grant the wish it was made, and for this Nova in particular..... the wish was to bring back Susie, since Haltmann had no idea she never died, the Nova essentially tried to divide by 0, he got stuck in a circulating decimal, he keeps trying to grant the wish again and again, but Susie never died, so he can't revive the living, so much so that in the battle itself, Nova actually tries to grant the wish, all Novas have to do a countdown, so he does, 5-4-3-2-1-GO... ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR ERROR
So yeah, they couldn't use the wish even if they wanted, the good news is that neither could Star Dream lol
39:45 not only that, it is said, quote: All of Haltmann's memories have been deleted from the OS. Even his soul--the last trace of Haltmann--has vanished. Star Dream has gone from a near-perfect being to a cold, mindless machine." So yeah, Haltmann got deleted from existence, motherfucker is OMEGA dead, I don't think even Nova could bring him back at that point, he doesn't even have a soul anymore
Hurray! I love people discovering Kirby lore. WoolieVS has a great series of videos on the full story
ah you have discovered that kirby has lore, indeed the black hole of kirby lore is large and surprisingly dark for a cute fluffy game
As many people said this video is a bit outdated and many games have released since. He made a follow up: "Attempting to explain more Kirby Lore" that was released after Kirby and the Forgotten Land released in 2022.
Kirby lore is the definition of that iceberg meme.
The best thing of Kirby Lore.
It's just straightforward
None of that: "Well actually, this person did this and-"
then the universe resets (or becomes non-canon)
Or one arc that's been going on for too long to the point they start retconning things.
at this point, I'm pretty sure "Poyo" is just kirby talk for "Kill and dethrone god". That, or "Cake".
1:30
He’s the VTuber that makes all those cool, fun comics like _Clinic of Horrors._
woolieverus kirby lore will forever be the first to start kirby lore trends
30:00 "You thought your enemy was some cosmic darkness, but it was Me, CAPITALISM!!"
18:02 that game was peak, mixing my classes to get tornados
This is why Kirby fans have trust issues
And why we hate butterflies
Kingdom Heart fans: Welcome to the club buddy.
Anyone who has played kirby Air ride, deserve everything the world can offer
One thing I like about the Kirby games is the drastic gap in stakes like how he goes from just fighting of a minor robot invasion to killing the purest form of chaos to a deer rat fox thing like it’s honestly amazing how most games start cause someone interrupted his nap or took his cake
Kirby Kirby Kirby
That's a name you should know
Kirby Kirby Kirby
He's the star of the show
He's more than you think he's got maximum pink! Kirby Kirby the one
He comes right back at ya
He comes a right back at ya
Just letting you know, The RPG Monger made a follow-up video to this one called "Attempting to Explain More Kirby Lore in a Single Video".
That video expands on the lore a bit more due to new releases, as well as corrects some mistakes he made in this video.
I highly recommend it, as Kirby lore somehow gets even more wild.
Basically, Adeline is (supposedly) to be one of the last remaining humans in Kirby's lore and Shiver Star is (supposedly) Earth but stuck in a permanent ice age where all the inhabitants are dead but the factories and machines are still functioning.
She only appears in Kirby 64 but I don't know if she makes a cameo in future games. (except for Star Allies, which is basically the Kirby Avengers)
LessGOOO Never expected Alicia to react to Kirby lore, and as a Kirby fan enthusiast seeing you react to this was SO darn cool for me :D
also BASED Amazing mirror and Kirby air ride are GOATED 👀 Cool to see you've played those games!!
It makes me super happy to see you be open minded enough to watch this, and of course always enjoy how you digest information and give your own take on things!! Especially with kirby lore which I've heard many including myself having been confused about it at some point, but this guy's video really helped organize all the lore nicely enough so that even you were able to follow along ^^
(Found it funny that by the happy ending of star allies you finally got some wholesome lore, when at surface level before all this you'd never imagine these Kirby games to be so dark lol)
I REALLY hope she plays Kirby games after this I want to see her reaction to witnessing these scenes first hand lol
"wouldn't let us borrow it because they knew we would just keep it"
Totally not me feeling called out over here... >.>
Off topic, I had not even realized the channel name changed.
On topic, it is a perfect way to describe most peoples first reactions to the chaos of the lore.
Before: What lore could the pink puffball of cuteness in Dream Land possibly have...? 🙄
After: ... So Kirby is the antideath of the universe and has beaten judgement itself-... Huh-...
BAAAAAAHHHH GIRLIE I WAS ACTIVELY PLAYING SQUEAK SQUAD AS YOU SAID THAT SHI-😂😂😂😂😂😂
I didn't know there was much of any loss outside of just what I've seen in the games, thanks for the video.
Man imagine if Alicia ran through all of the Kirby games, or more likely Kirby and the Forgotten Land, then she could actually be “caught up” with the lord since the video came out BEFORE Forgotten Land came out, and the lore in there has sooooo much importance like Star Allies xD
Welcome to Kirby lore where a pink marshmello is an actual ultra God killing machine
he will destroy your entire planet if you just touched his cheesecake
Or hurt his friends
Kirby lore reactions are always funny, ther's a part 2 on the same channel if you want more
The Kirby franchise is literally just the “gameplay vs lore” meme
In this case though gameplay would be more powerful
Marx and Magolor in star allies were downright broken
Another video you can watch is - The Lore of Kirby -- Designing For Friendship by Designing For. ther is also a sequel to this video that covers the Kirby and the forgotten land.
I'd second this. Designing for Friendship is an amazingly made video on Kirb lore.
The jump from Kirby's dreamland, being a fun, cute puffball of pink, to fighting the literal embodiment of nightmares and fear in Kirby dreamland 3 took my knees out
Kirby Squeak squad was my second kirby game and probably my favourite of them all. My first one was technically Kirby's Dream Land, since I got it alongside my OG GameBoy back then, but Squeak Squad was the one I played the most! I used to do all the mini-game shit with my cousin back then, cause he had the game too and local co-op was sick as hell!
God this video is bringing back so many good memories!
It’s a pretty succinct summary of the big points in Kirby lore pre-Forgotten Land/Super Kirby Clash. And very well written. Glad to see your interest!
Really the only thing to note is that the whole “Kirby = positive Void” idea is JUST a theory.
This is because Void’s positive and negative energy influences come externally. In other words, it can be said that Void having Kirby’s face is because Kirby’s positive influence makes Void look like Kirby, NOT because Void is actually a Kirby.
Especially since Meta Knight is basically a Kirby, and the same can probably be said for Galacta Knight. Plus if Kirby was pure positive energy, he’d be more like Gooey; Kirby can get sad, angry, vengeful, etc… not very “pure” like Dark Matter.
And one more thing. Ever since Star Allies, the fandom’s been rather strict on English localization, and making sure the info comes from the Japanese descriptions. Some of our Moogle friend’s info suffers due to the English localization issue, but it’s still correct on the whole.
Ah Kirby Lore one of the best depiction of Cosmic Horror.
We are in childhood glee cuz we can not process the unfathomable cosmic entities
So got her doing:
Kirby lore
Warhammer lore
Scp lore
Hell even skibidi toilet, Imma say it... When are we gunna bully her to do creepypasta, FNAF or undertale.
Kirby fans when they see a butterfly: *panic intensifies*
Some guy in chat named "Fohrmt" will forever be immortalized as a simp due to this video
Literally every kirby game:
Starts as someone stealing kirby's friend's birthday cake, and ends with kirby killing god in the process of getting it back
A villian very similar to haltman was from Wakfu name NOX. A child's show but REALLY amazing villian in there.
Since this video only covers up to Star Allies, I'll try to do Forgotten Land (+ Magolor Epilogue)
So, you meet Elfilin. Elfillin is important and pretty cool. He's a little little blue floating rat dude. Anyways, I'll come back to that later, but humanity captures this godlike being, and uses it transfer all the humans to basically their dreams, leaving everything else to rot. Now, the animals control the world, and they're trying to bring this godlike being back so they can go to this dream realm as well. But the only problem is, this being is split into two. One, known as ID-F86, and the other, being Elfilin. Later, ID-F86 becomes more powerful, turning into Fecto Forgo, which is an abomination, but basically, it just absorbed a TON of animals and it keeps absorbing things to gain power, until it absorbs Elfilin, and they turn into Fecto Elfilis, which you fight. Also Fecto Elfilis was the godlike being previously mentioned if that wasn't obvious. Forgotten Land has almost zero implication on lore from previous games, but it does open some questions, like what is the dream realm that the humans went to, and will we see it? Probably imo.
Also, the Master Crown is a tree.
Not only did I play Squeak Squad, that was probably the first game that I 100% completed.
Also, for some more lore that was added after the video was uploaded, Morpho Knight is effectively the Angel of Death in the Kirby world. And, according to the Morpho Knight Sword ability in Forgotten Land, his power is one that Kirby can wield "effortlessly". Also, after Magalor was defeated in Return to Dream Land, he literally went to purgatory and had to fight an evil tree to return to the rest of the Kirby world, where he would proceed to build theme parks to atone for his attempts at world domination.
Now we just need Alicia to react to the updated lore of Kirby :)
The best way to describe kirby is that he is basically majin boo, except he is pure innocent and happy and cuteness.
Was she really trying to say that "stealing all the food" is something Super Monkey Ball did first? It's probably a pretty common plot. Donkey Kong Country also did it before then.
yo chat: go to the half way point of the deep dive dubai pool YEET
I played Squeak Squad way back when and it was a really fun game! And yes, Kirby lore goes so hard, it's truly insane, it even has its own fanfiction in the form of the What If game modes.
Miraculous Ladybug fans: Galacta knight got akumatized!!!
Honestly kirby lore is one of those things where those who arent aware just see kirby as a little ball guy, but those who do see him as a dude who claps cosmic horrors despite being one himself
Kirby doesn't just HAVE the Power of Friendship. Kirby IS the Power of Friendship
Squeak squad was actually my first Kirby game, was super fun and what drew me to the rest of the games
