I wanna thank you for engaging with these on a really sincere level. It is fantastic to see how much you resonate with what you're watching, seeing your own thoughts develop and putting your own personal experience into it, even being able to feel out where the video is going and nailing that thematic through line! Makes me worried that "oh he's gonna realize how often I restate my points for emphasis, oh no I hope I am not annoying". Thank you very much for reacting and putting so much care into how you consume media; it's stuff like this that makes talking about silly video game characters and going "no actually they have an unreal amount of my brain space devoted to them" worthwhile. And do not worry - I am a crybaby, too. I make things so that you can cry at the things I cried at and we can feel embarrassment but like, in a good way together.
From one crybaby to another, your videos are a work of art. Thank you for putting so much care and effort into your presentation of these "silly" video game characters. More people need to know how awesome they are.
The best thing about *our* King Dedede is the change of his title over time from "The Self-Proclaimed King of Dreamland" to "The Self-Made King of Dreamland". He went from being a guy who called himself the king and no one really cared or acknowledged it to "yes, that's our king and a glorious king he is."
Every kirby fan that has seen a dedede fight in a new trailer for a new game start thinking: alright who is possesing or brainwashing you this time buddy because we are gonna teach them a lesson to not mess with our KING.
King Dedede is a guy who competes with physical gods on the regular. He knows he's not their scale, but goddammit, he's never gonna stop punching above his weight limit for the fun of it.
Bro eater gets possessed by a God. I feel like being possessed by God. Have some after effect on him. Like he looks like the kind of guy. That's gonna grab like a giant monster. By the horns and absolutely just supplex, it just because
As a small detail concerning Shadow Kirby, Kirby Fighters 2 gave a minor retcon to explain that he only fights with Kirby in that game because that's his definition of a prank. Meta Knight's dark refelection is a war-torn revenge-seeking warrior with no honor, Dedede's is a soulless berserker literally consumed by darkness...But Kirby's dark reflection? Is just kind of an introverted brat, and that’s it. He still does his best to defend the Mirror World when he can and poses no real threat to his main counterpart. I think that speaks volumes to Kirby's pureness.
42:22 a comment from the original video points out and emphasizes Dedede’s care for his subjects. When he goes back to aid the Waddle Dee that fell behind, instead of quickly and forcefully yanking it to its feet in this situation where they have no time, Dedede instead gently holds out his hands for the Waddle Dee to brace itself on and pick itself up. It shows a tenderness and care that Dedede has genuinely developed. And he only gets rough by throwing the Waddle Dee when he realizes there truly is no time left.
Kirby is universally seen as the most op Nintendo character that eats gods for breakfast, and DeDeDe not only fight/compete with him on the regular but also pulls his weight in Kirby's quests. It's little wonder why everyone kept mistaking him as the strongest warrior or wanting to mind control him. Without knowing about Kirby beforehand, anyone would see Kirby as a harmless marshmallow while Triple D absolutely fit the bill of a protagonist. And he would be a protagonist in any other universe.
@@TheLegitWeebs Just know that whenever he's stressed or in very big danger. His body turns him into a kaiju. Now here's another thing. He didn't turn huge when a very heavy like over a thousand ton ball was dropped on him but being flattened by his castle did.
Both of them are loved by their subjects and love them back deeply. As someone said somewhere, dream bowser from mario & luigi dream team bros gained the power of near omnipotence, being able to summon whatever he can dream of, and he chooses to only summon his minions. He cannot think of a better army than the one he already has. And that shows a lot. Loved fighting alongside them in origami king too, I definitely understand the guy
1:17 There was an episode of Kirby Right Back at Ya that involved Dedede trying to make an animated show, and it was basically the plot of Kirby Right Back at Ya episode 1 only with Dedede as the protagonist instead of Kirby. That's where he sings his own rendition of the anime's theme song. Also the "episode" he made is an entire meme in itself. It's poorly animated and voice acted but is one of the funniest pieces of Kirby media ever.
King Dedede sacrificing himself just to save one Waddledee was easily his shining moment for his development. It was the moment he understood that as the king, his people matter more to him than his own life
Another really good Designing For video is “Bowser - Still Gaming’s Greatest Villain.” It really gets into why I love Bowser so much as a character and how his personality has changed over the years. I highly recommend watching it 👍
Its so funny how even Kirby's evil dark reflection isn't all that evil. Just a ting mean. Playin mean pranks, but still more than good enough to help protect his world
Designing For is one of the best channels when it comes to character analysis or perspective of various videogames aspects. I highly suggest to see more videos from them. This one video in particular made me appreciate this character of Dedede even more than I already do. Awesome reaction on this btw. Keep up the great work
yes!!! i'm so happy you watched this video too. dedede is my favorite kirby character, and this video so perfectly explains why! it's so satisfying to see dedede as a caring and powerful leader who is still his silly lazy self. thanks for the video!
These Kirby reactions are so good! I love tuning into them. Are you planning on doing anymore? If so, I would recommend “Magolor’s Bag O’ Lore” from Game and Lore and “Magolor and the Master Crown | What is Kirby Canon?” from Meteorz. Magolor is a lot of people’s favorite Kirby character, so it would be interesting to see you find out why
The way Designing For explains everything is perfect, it shows just how beautiful a character arc like this really is. Please do watch more of these because they're all just as great :)
12:07 there's an entire archetype of characters that go exactly on how you played the game "oh yes, in this life, I'LL BE EVIL" *Starts helping and us loved by everyone* "hmmmm I don't think this is working... Nah... It is, they're just trying to fool me"
if you liked bandana dee designing for also Made a video about him All About Waddle Dee! -- Designing For Deevotion would love seing your reaction to that
Long Kirby fan here, it's really entertaining to see your journey through this incredible universe that is Kirby's, generally overlooked because of the cutesy stuff and the simpleness of both the characters and the games (at first glance, that is) I love how not only you actually did understand most of the important stuff presented at you in past videos, but you also related to it in the same way we Kirby players did when each game came out, and that's frankly just impressive, it shows that you truly care about all of it, and it also shows the wonderful job HAL Laboratory has done with the franchise to a level that a non-player can also relate and appreciate ♥️ If I had to recommend a video (or a series of videos) it would be the "What is Kirby Canon?" series made by MeteorZ, fully explaining in-depth every single detail that has been presented to you in the RPG Monger's videos, most are bite sized so maybe you could cramp some of them in a single reaction video to avoid overflowing your channel with too much Kirby content (not that we complain about it hehe)
If you like diving into Villains with surprising depth I'd recommend the Disigning For on Bowser. He has a similardegree of complexity to him albeit unlike Dedede he is a diehard for the path of villainy.
I love that you brought up Tom and Jerry, but I was weird and Tom was always my favorite when I was a kid. Like he loses almost everytime and you just start rooting for the poor guy to get a W.
It's quite a change of pace from the Kirby lore videos, but it would be really neat if you could react to some of the lyrical covers of Kirby songs by Man on the Internet and Juno Songs. Juno Songs has a video called Magolor Collection EX, which is a collection of each of his covers for Magolor in chronological order of the Kirby timeline, and it's basically a mini-musical about Magolor, it's really good. He also made one for Void Termina a while back, which might be worth listening to as well, just bear in mind that Juno's singing voice has improved a lot since then. For Man on the Internet, Zero Two is probably the main one you should react to, but Marx, Morpho Knight, Star Dream, and Moonstruck Blossom are really good as well. Both Juno and MOTI did separate covers for Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit, and they both had the same singer for their covers, so you it would be really cool to see you watch them back-to-back and compare them. Of course, if that's not your thing, that's fine, but I think the lyrics are really well-written and give a lot of insight into the characters they were written for. The songs themselves from the games are phenomenal as well. Since you're a self-proclaimed crybaby (I am too), you'll probably tear up during a few of them.
Please react to the remaining Kirby "Designing for" videos, especially the Waddle Dee video. The little guys deserve every bit of love and appreciation for how much they enhance the series in so many subtle but meaningful ways.
"Don't worry, Kirby, I've got this, my people are counting on me" "Poyo?" "Well, until we discover whatever eldritch god is behind all this. I might have to leave that part to you." "Poyo!"
If you're hungry for more Kirby character analysis, Designing For has two more videos on Kirby characters-Marx and the Waddle Dees! They're both bangers (as expected, honestly), and worth checking out, too! please i need more kirby reactions you have no idea how great it feels seeing people react to this little guy and his friends and world
Designing For is a great channel all around! If I could suggest a video, look up The Putrid Pride of Gruntilda -- Designing For Vanity! Now I need to go back and finish Kirby and The Forbidden Land lol
I said this before on the original video, but Dedede is basically a classic Vegeta Archetype without the usual associated personality of one. He's got the same character arc of being the Starter Villain who becomes a rival and friend of the hero after being defeated by them. This video was basically the first time I realized that lmao.
Nice video dude loved KD3 and glad you do too. Also if you wanted to watch another Designing For video I recommend the Bowser one that one is really good
if you havent then i highly recommend watching the kirby anime, on or off video as its very enjoyable from start to finish peak power transformations, great enemies, dedede being himself as usual, and cant forget MACHO MAN
Id recommend “the terrifying world of kirby lore” by mouthfools, a podcast channel ran by failboat, a pretty well known ccontent creator in the kirby community, its a pretty good video given the more improv nature of the comedy in it and id definitely say its worth watching
Please, you need to react more to the Designing for channel. All of their videos are great, I especially recommend the Punch out videos, the Metal Gear Snake video and the Captain Falcon/ F Zero video
Whether Dedede is stronger than Meta Knight is difficult to say. I’d argue they are on equal terms of strength, as in Kirby fighters 2 (not canon), Meta Knight and Dedede team up as “sworn partners.” Both have similar achievements and defeats, with Dedede being recognized as one of popstars strongest lifeforms and Meta Knight defeating Galacta Knight. Dedede tour and Meta Knightmare both show Dedede and Meta Knight capable of fighting without Kirby (minus the gods).
Kirby's relationship with his friends, especially Dedede and Meta Knight, is my personal favorite aspect of the series, and Dedede is probably my favorite character as well. There's more than meets the eye in every aspect of this series but I find Dedede to be the most surprising and interesting example, I just love him so much. Also his characterization in Smash Bros Brawl is perfect, he really steals the show in the Subspace Emissary for me. And yeah he kicked Bowsers ass and embarassed the hell out of him. Bowser, on the other end, is my favorite Mario character, and while his characterization in Smash and in Designing Fors video is pretty sorely lacking compared to the Mario series (he has his very own close bond with his Koopa Troupe, including the Koopalings who are like his adopted children and of course Bowser Jr who he spoils rotten), if anything he'd probably defect from Tabuu too (and he does eventually, just very late), but yeah Dedede beating him is very cool and funny, the shot of Bowser roaring at him only to get flicked in the nose is one of my favorite Dedede gifs lol. Yeah, Dedede does come out of his relationship with Kirby with a lot more than going in, but I think it's still equally valuable to Kirby. His motivations have always revolved around his friends, you could even argue that friendship is where his powers come from. When his friends are happy that's a win for him as well, and when they're in trouble that's when you see his strength show. Many people do take Dedede Tour to mean that Dedede is stronger than Meta Knight, and I think it's a somewhat valid conclusion to make, but I mean it's not like Meta Knights power stagnated after Amazing Mirror. Meta Knight aspires to be the strongest warrior in the whole galaxy, and he has an equally storied rivalry with Kirby. So personally I say it's a toss up between Dedede and Meta Knight, they're both stupid strong in their own rights and should never be slept on. One of my favorite feats of Meta Knight is that in Forgotten Land it's said that Gorimondo (big gorilla boss guy) had tried to attack Waddle Dee village 40 times, and Meta Knight repelled him with ease each time. If you wanna hear more about Meta Knight, Silvery's video on him is great, here's to hoping Designing For makes one eventually too. The first Dedede boss fight in Forgotten Land had me in awe, and the second one had me crying honestly, he's so cool in that game and his boss themes are insane and call back to his older themes in the series. Dedede fans were eating. A common phrase people like to say about King Dedede, is that he went from a self-proclaimed king, to a self-made king. I think it was Silvery that popularized that phrase? (also Silvery's Dedede video is excellent as well but if you watch that then watch Meta Knight first cuz he made the Meta Knight one first), but yeah, it's a good one. Edit: I'm dumb it wasn't Silvery it was Indigo F that popularized it, I haven't watched it in awhile but I rememeber his video being very good
I may have missed the entire point of the video but honestly Dedede insanely strong you have to understand that he's pretty much only second to Kirby would you really have to put it into perspective considering how powerful Kirby really is.
I wanna thank you for engaging with these on a really sincere level. It is fantastic to see how much you resonate with what you're watching, seeing your own thoughts develop and putting your own personal experience into it, even being able to feel out where the video is going and nailing that thematic through line!

And do not worry - I am a crybaby, too. I make things so that you can cry at the things I cried at and we can feel embarrassment but like, in a good way together.
You are awesome dude, you did a great job, dont doubt it.
From one crybaby to another, your videos are a work of art. Thank you for putting so much care and effort into your presentation of these "silly" video game characters. More people need to know how awesome they are.

Is just kind of an introverted brat, and that’s it. He still does his best to defend the Mirror World when he can and poses no real threat to his main counterpart. I think that speaks volumes to Kirby's pureness.
Kirby is so pure his EVIL SELF IS STILL A CUTE PURE BEAN! ONLY DIFFERENCE IS HE'S SHY!
SHADOW KIRBY IS OUR INTROVERTED KING
HE'S JUST LIKE ME FRFR
42:22 a comment from the original video points out and emphasizes Dedede’s care for his subjects.

Dedede has the same respectful following that Bowser has because he's known for being a "leading from the front" type of king
Don't know much about Bowser now that I think about it. Might have to check out more lore about him as well.
@@TheLegitWeebs Just know that whenever he's stressed or in very big danger. His body turns him into a kaiju. Now here's another thing. He didn't turn huge when a very heavy like over a thousand ton ball was dropped on him but being flattened by his castle did.

It's poorly animated and voice acted but is one of the funniest pieces of Kirby media ever.
There’s even a whole reanimated project that was done of that episode, which is amazing honestly
Kirby, king dedede, meta knight and bandana waddle Dee are the 4 protagonists of the Kirby universe
the Hero Party, if you will, you can make a D&D campaign with them
King Dedede sacrificing himself just to save one Waddledee was easily his shining moment for his development. It was the moment he understood that as the king, his people matter more to him than his own life
40:32 There is that... and also, so we they can justify having more Dedede Boss fights. Not that I'm complaining.
Another really good Designing For video is “Bowser - Still Gaming’s Greatest Villain.” It really gets into why I love Bowser so much as a character and how his personality has changed over the years.
I highly recommend watching it 👍
Thank you for reacting to this! This is my comfort video that I watch whenever I’m feeling down, always manages to cheer me up!
Its so funny how even Kirby's evil dark reflection isn't all that evil. Just a ting mean. Playin mean pranks, but still more than good enough to help protect his world
After all these years and characrer development, he STILL has a banger theme!
All hail DDD!
I’m glad you’re doing the character stuff as well. It’s an often overlooked part of the Kirby universe. when people do reactions to its lore
Designing For is one of the best channels when it comes to character analysis or perspective of various videogames aspects. I highly suggest to see more videos from them. This one video in particular made me appreciate this character of Dedede even more than I already do.
Awesome reaction on this btw. Keep up the great work
yes!!! i'm so happy you watched this video too. dedede is my favorite kirby character, and this video so perfectly explains why! it's so satisfying to see dedede as a caring and powerful leader who is still his silly lazy self. thanks for the video!

Magolor is a lot of people’s favorite Kirby character, so it would be interesting to see you find out why
King Dedede is truly a King :)
Surprised they didnt go over kirby fighters 2 DDD. Glad youre enjoying the lore of this gem of a series lol
The way Designing For explains everything is perfect, it shows just how beautiful a character arc like this really is. Please do watch more of these because they're all just as great :)

at this rate you gotta play kirb
If you're interested in more Designing For videos, he made a really good one about Bowser that's worrth checking out.
I wanna thank you for these. Its making my days happy.
Something funny, multiple pause screens describe dedede as the perfect being
if you liked bandana dee designing for also Made a video about him All About Waddle Dee! -- Designing For Deevotion would love seing your reaction to that

Love Designing For, would love if you watched more :)
Ahh Dedede, gaming’s greatest frienemy
Love your reaction! Could you do his video he has on Marx next when you have time? It’s another Kirby villian.
You should react to bandana waddle Dee history (because he finally become the fourth member of the Kirby crew and even has a song)
You could react to all the cutcenes of subspace emissary, it would be a cool video
I suggest the video from Designing For about Waddle Dee.
The Bandana Waddle Dee is an absolute fan favourite, and for good reasons.
I love that you brought up Tom and Jerry, but I was weird and Tom was always my favorite when I was a kid. Like he loses almost everytime and you just start rooting for the poor guy to get a W.
Honestly, Tom does so much and yet receives so little acknowledgement. Can't help but feel bad for him at some point.
Something that’s honestly scary, is at any moment some Ho-hum writer who doesn’t get Dedede at all could come in and undo EVERYTHING
It's quite a change of pace from the Kirby lore videos, but it would be really neat if you could react to some of the lyrical covers of Kirby songs by Man on the Internet and Juno Songs.
Juno Songs has a video called Magolor Collection EX, which is a collection of each of his covers for Magolor in chronological order of the Kirby timeline, and it's basically a mini-musical about Magolor, it's really good. He also made one for Void Termina a while back, which might be worth listening to as well, just bear in mind that Juno's singing voice has improved a lot since then.
For Man on the Internet, Zero Two is probably the main one you should react to, but Marx, Morpho Knight, Star Dream, and Moonstruck Blossom are really good as well. Both Juno and MOTI did separate covers for Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit, and they both had the same singer for their covers, so you it would be really cool to see you watch them back-to-back and compare them.
Of course, if that's not your thing, that's fine, but I think the lyrics are really well-written and give a lot of insight into the characters they were written for. The songs themselves from the games are phenomenal as well. Since you're a self-proclaimed crybaby (I am too), you'll probably tear up during a few of them.
MORE MORE MOORRRREEEEEE
I love these vids of people delving into the mind-blowingly deep depths of the games about a pink circle that eats.
Jokes aside, this was great!
Please react to the remaining Kirby "Designing for" videos, especially the Waddle Dee video. The little guys deserve every bit of love and appreciation for how much they enhance the series in so many subtle but meaningful ways.
"Don't worry, Kirby, I've got this, my people are counting on me"
"Poyo?"
"Well, until we discover whatever eldritch god is behind all this. I might have to leave that part to you."
"Poyo!"
I would love it if you covered a character analysis on Meta Knight as well! :)
If you're hungry for more Kirby character analysis, Designing For has two more videos on Kirby characters-Marx and the Waddle Dees! They're both bangers (as expected, honestly), and worth checking out, too!
please i need more kirby reactions you have no idea how great it feels seeing people react to this little guy and his friends and world
If you keep watching Designing For's videos, I'd recomend their video on the Waddle Dees and Bandana Dee
Dedede might be grumpy, but he's always willing to throw down to protect Dreamland and his people. Once Kirby showed him kindness and determination.
Dude, I can’t wait ‘til he watches Designing for Deevotion: the Wddle dee episode, because THAT? That one is a video that’s up there for me.
Peak dedede
Im so glad you're watching a lot of these kirby lore videos!! Id 1000% recommend you play some kirby games sometime!
If you love Kirby fan stuff Dreambound is. A great piece of fan content to look into
On the topic of amazing kirby fan content
Search for 【手描きカービィ】アンヘル
i love this type of music videos, so amazing and so well made too
Designing For is a great channel all around! If I could suggest a video, look up The Putrid Pride of Gruntilda -- Designing For Vanity! Now I need to go back and finish Kirby and The Forbidden Land lol
I said this before on the original video, but Dedede is basically a classic Vegeta Archetype without the usual associated personality of one. He's got the same character arc of being the Starter Villain who becomes a rival and friend of the hero after being defeated by them. This video was basically the first time I realized that lmao.
Nice video dude loved KD3 and glad you do too. Also if you wanted to watch another Designing For video I recommend the Bowser one that one is really good
If you want some other DesigningFor videos to watch, while not Kirby related the series of videos for Punchout Wii are extremely fun
Make way for the King baby!
TRIPLE D WILL CAUSE THE DEDEDESTRUCTION OF HIS ENEMIES
HELL YEAH
Awesome Kirby video!
i hope this video goes on to get more people to react to, or at least just watch Designing For's videos more because his videos are freakin awesome~
if you havent then i highly recommend watching the kirby anime, on or off video as its very enjoyable from start to finish
peak power transformations, great enemies, dedede being himself as usual, and cant forget MACHO MAN
Id recommend “the terrifying world of kirby lore” by mouthfools, a podcast channel ran by failboat, a pretty well known ccontent creator in the kirby community, its a pretty good video given the more improv nature of the comedy in it and id definitely say its worth watching
I honestly think and like the idea of Meta Knight not actually being as strong as Dedede, and is only situational on top
I recommend reacting to (or just listening to on your own time) some of the kirby ost. Preferably game by game.
When you are so strong thry have to brainwash you and then brainwash you again to be sure your mind won't free itself without help
Kirby right back at ya was a great anime the dub was actually really good
Another of my favorite vidoes from Designing For is their video on Bowser, I think you should check out if you feel like it.
You gotta watch the Bandana Waddle Dee one 🙏
Please, you need to react more to the Designing for channel.
All of their videos are great, I especially recommend the Punch out videos, the Metal Gear Snake video and the Captain Falcon/ F Zero video
Whether Dedede is stronger than Meta Knight is difficult to say. I’d argue they are on equal terms of strength, as in Kirby fighters 2 (not canon), Meta Knight and Dedede team up as “sworn partners.” Both have similar achievements and defeats, with Dedede being recognized as one of popstars strongest lifeforms and Meta Knight defeating Galacta Knight.

The first Dedede boss fight in Forgotten Land had me in awe, and the second one had me crying honestly, he's so cool in that game and his boss themes are insane and call back to his older themes in the series. Dedede fans were eating.
A common phrase people like to say about King Dedede, is that he went from a self-proclaimed king, to a self-made king. I think it was Silvery that popularized that phrase? (also Silvery's Dedede video is excellent as well but if you watch that then watch Meta Knight first cuz he made the Meta Knight one first), but yeah, it's a good one.
Edit: I'm dumb it wasn't Silvery it was Indigo F that popularized it, I haven't watched it in awhile but I rememeber his video being very good
Yippee! i was hoping to see this one
I really hope you'll react to more of disgnning for's videos like his video on Peppino Spaghetti.
I may have missed the entire point of the video but honestly Dedede insanely strong you have to understand that he's pretty much only second to Kirby would you really have to put it into perspective considering how powerful Kirby really is.
Now time for the Punch Out series
