Evolution of Meta Knight Losing His Mask in Kirby Games (1993-2023)
Enjoy my video about the Evolution of Meta Knight Losing his Mask in Kirby Games and Spin-offs. Kirby's Return to Dream Land is included. One of Meta Knight's most well-known traits is the fact that he is almost never seen with his mask off. In a few games, his mask is split into two upon defeat, revealing a face with bright yellow eyes (however, in older games, Meta Knight sported white eyes and pink cheeks, making him appear similar to Kirby). In the event that should he be ever unmasked, he immediately departs from the field of battle.

I can't get over the amusing image of Kirby beating the heck out of Meta Knight with the Love Love Stick.
BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP-BAP
Do you think the Love Love Stick would get Meta Knight's "unmasked" attention?
Meta Knight is Kirby’s dark, masked and armoured brother. We just don’t know it yet.
He's just as cute as Kirby, though if I somehow got close to him and tried to hug him I'd most likely end up diced perfectly symmetrically in just a few seconds 💀
Meta Knight should be ashamed of that behaviour of his.
Due to that behaviour of his, I rejected Meta Knight.
Wtf
Bro, he's still cute AF even with the mask on. Literally everyone in the Kirby universe is cute, there's no escaping it.
I love the animation they did for the GBA/Squeak Squad titles because it looks like he's mad that his edgy cover is blown
he's like "チっ！バかめ
Fun Fact: Planet Robobot is the first time we see Meta Knight unmasked in 3D
hi
@@bowser_the_flamingshell hi
It's also the game that they forgot that is actually white. (He's partially blind)
@@flickerflight6681 what
And it had to be after he was traumatised
I love how Meta Knight hates anyone to see his face. My theory is that he hates being depicted as Kirby, or he made some sort of oath to never show his face for some reason.
Or possibly because people won't take him seriously because he's "cute looking"
It takes away his menacing aura, the fear he brings upon to his enemies. The mystery (even though we already know how he looks like)... Like, I mean, which would look more threatening, a inverted Kirby(aka unmasked MK) or MK?
Guys, Meta knights shy, don’t make him embarrassed
I always read Meta knight getting unmasked as a Wrestler being unmasked. It's like the worst humiliation and they try to remain masked for as much time as possible.
Sometimes it just look like he went from pouty too "the fuck just happend?" Wide stare into nothing
I'm not going to lie, I miss how expressive Meta Knight was in the GBA-DS era. The way he glared at you before leaving, and the way his cloak swirled around him... Nowadays, he JUST looks surprised. No emotion in his eyes whatsoever.
Probably got used to Kirby breaking his mask lmao
I feel like his confidence are all put on his mask
*gasp* he’s secretly a KIRBY?!?
yes, yes he was
Meta Knight: *warps behind you* always have been
Yes, it's often been speculated that Kirby and Meta Knight are from the same species.
A serious kirby
does that make meta knight is kirby's big brother or cousin?
When meta knight loses his mask He's like: DON'T LOOK AT ME!
He should really try a different mask if the one he was wears keeps breaking after being beaten up too much.
I think Kirby just hits way harder than the mask is designed to withstand, hence why it always breaks in battles between MK and Kirby. 'Cause Kirby alone is powerful enough to slay literal eldritch gods by just inhaling things and spitting them back out. Against an opponent like that, armor of any kind would break eventually.
That defeat animation where the arm is destroyed when going for the attack is perfect
Meta Knight: a badass who’s surprisingly cute xD
Honestly, if meta knight is a kirby how come he never uses his inhale powers?
He doesn't need them, he is already a very skilled swordsman, a very competent warrior, he has exceptional speed and strength, besides why would you remove his iconic mask is what gives him his mysterious and rude personality.
i mean he looks pretty similar but he had hands and arms
@@CodeKirby But what if the gloves create the illusion that the nub hands are the "arms"?
The anime explains that the inhaling and copy abilities are Kirby's own powers. It wouldn't be impossible for that to be the same in games, like how Meta or Galacta Knight got powers that Kirby hasn't
@@xlife.lightx to each Kirby their own
0:28→5:12 0:35→5:28 Evolution of Samurai Meta Knight
People think that meta knight is a kirby that may or may not be true but if it is. my spin on it is that meta knight was a kirby that couldn't inhale stuff no matter how hard he tried so he thought that maybe being a swords men will make people think hes not a kirby because hes embarrassed that every other kirby can inhale but he cannot. anyway yea
I'm pretty sure only Kirby can inhale as his powers. I think MK just does that to keep up a threatening aura.
He's such a Cute!
For the return to dreamland samurai duel, turn the video speed to x0.25, and you could just about see Meta's face.
It just looks like he threw away his own mask😭
He always lose his mask when Kirby defeats him!
「刹那の見斬り」で負けた時、両手で顔を隠すところが可愛いです！！
Ohhhhhh, so that's where that Dark Kirby alt costume came from. It was from Meta Knight all along.
Interesting video, by the way, can you do a play through of Team Kirby Clash Deluxe and Kirby Fighters Deluxe before the Nintendo E-Shop closes down? I have been wanting you to do that and I hope it's no trouble asking you.
I think the kirby species hates hsving a cute face,thats why galacta and meta knigth cover their face........except kirby. Kirby accepts it and lives with it
You know I don’t know why in Kirby Right Back At Ya they don’t want Meta Knight to loose his mask and then Tiff and Tuff would notice that he’s like Kirby but I just don’t know why they don’t want to do it and also using his wings like how come they used it for the games and not for the Kirby Anime like I don’t get it same with the mask as well
1) Meta Knight was written differently in the anime VS the games. He was given a proper backstory and overarching motives that are slowly revealed throughout the show. In the games, much of his life has never been shown; all that is known about MK is what is presented and/or implied. 2) That would have been too much development for a supporting character. As cool as anime Meta Knight is, he isn't the star of the show - Kirby is. Bringing MK's in-game abilities into the anime would have made things unnecessarily complicated and would have taken much of the focus off Kirby.
0:51 Sounds like a ringtone
How looks galacta knight without maska?
Ok, I still have Kirby Star Allies and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
His, secret identity he looks like Kirby without his mask.
メタナイトの素顔かわいい
0:10 *!*
He shy
Sorry
Wat
For what?
In earlier games he has the same sprite as Kirby so ig he’s the same as Kirby?
1:06 I guess this one is fake cause... Just check the sword..
Meta knight looks just like kirby without his mask
What if anyone kissed Meta Knight's unmasked face?
*no*
@@crispinS654 But how do you think Meta Knight would feel, if someone would ever kiss his unmasked face?
@@bennetgiesbrecht994 he would kill them probably
@@crispinS654 Hmpf. What a shame. How disappointing. Meta Knight, you disappoint me.
@@crispinS654 At this rate, I think Meta Knight should be banned, just like Galacta Knight.
Keep strong. Dont forget that despite the evil in this world, God is full of justice, mercy and love. Justice said we broke His perfect law - causing the world's previous perfection to be destroyed - and therefore we deserve Hell (like a punishment in any legal system but this is eternal as His perfect law is eternal too). Don't think you fit in that category? Ever done one of these?: lying, stealing - regardless of how small the object EVER, hating others - which is murder in God's perfect law, lusting (plus God sees our entire thought life). Justice says "the soul that sins shall die" - if we break one in thought/word/deed it's as if we're guilty of all of them. Quite simply, living by the law (which is doing everything perfectly) is impossible for sinful humans . The law shows us that 1. We will die in Hell if we fail to follow it and 2. We cannot save ourselves BUT, 3. God's perfect, immovable law points us to Christ, who followed and fulfilled the law in thought, word and deed perfectly in our place. He did what we couldn't and did it on our behalf. He was then sentenced to death on a cross, and took our personal punishment for our sin, paying our penalty (like paying our fine) completely FOR us, and has given us freedom. If we turn from the sins we have committed and repent (pursue the opposite direction of love through Christ) He will, overtime, recreate us into His image through The Holy Spirit which Jesus sends to all who accept Him as their personal Lord and Savior of their life. We cannot purify ourselves, but Christ lived that perfect sinless, pure life and then allotted it to our "account". That's where our righteousness comes from. Not from any good, works that you or I could do. It is not based on the amount of good works we do. God starts the changes, He carries it on, and He completes it in those who let Him. It's about letting Christ in to guide and teach you and obeying Him, again, through His power and instruction). He is our substitute in His life, death and resurrection. He essentially rewrote history in our place so that, if you believe in Him, it will be as if YOU had never sinned if you accept Christ's death as our own in our place. He is in Heaven right now preparing a place for us so that He can take His faithful, believing children home with Him when He returns. He will ressurrect us from death when He returns, giving mercy to those who accept His love, forgiveness, instruction and teachings in their life, and give justice to those who refuse it. He doesn't want ANY of us to go to Hell and die for continuing in evil and rejecting His way to life, thats why He died FOR us. Hes giving EVERYONE a chance, He wants everyone to take the free gift of salvation from Hell. He wants us to be His and begin to follow His life of love and service through His power and abiding (staying) with Him. So long as we keep our hearts near to Christ through His strength, strive to follow His will of perfect love revealed in the Bible, and let Him lead in the midst of (very certain) pitfalls and struggles, we will, in time, win the ultimate victory over sin, pain and DEATH through Christ. Even if you are willing to be made willing, pray for Jesus to come in and He will do what we can't. Give us The Holy Spirit who will guide us in the right way. NOTE: You are NEVER too sinful or messed up that God cannot turn your life around through Jesus. EVER If you have any questions let me know
Aight cool
Ok
My first question is why did you write this?
dude nobody is going to take you seriously if you comment this on a kirby video
Here's a moment that I would like, if it ever existed: Kirby: *kisses Meta Knight's unmasked face* Meta Knight: (Did... did he just kiss me?!) 😲😍🤗
no... just no
@@EduardoFerreira-yi4qcIf that's the way it's going to be, I guess Meta Knight is nothing more than naughty. Meta Knight's behavior disappoints me. At this rate, I think someone oughta exile Meta Knight in the same way Galacta Knight was exiled.
@@EduardoFerreira-yi4qc I'll tell you what, I just sometimes wish there was such an adorable moment where someone friendly, such as Kirby, kisses Meta Knight's unmasked face, and Meta Knight blushes. I know it doesn't exist, I just sometimes wish it did.
@@bennetgiesbrecht994 if you're old enough you can commision someone to make a fan-art with the exact thing you wish
