So while the show was airing, the official site released a Q&A to answer viewers’ questions. I never did translate it and it has a few fun tidbits, so… here we go!
About Kirby
How many different copy abilities does Kirby have?
Looking back at all the games, there are over 50 copy abilities. In the anime, up to March 2003, there are 20 types. Can you name them all? More and more will be added in the future, so please keep watching.
Why can’t Kirby speak properly? Why can he only say the names of his moves?
Kirby is a newborn Star Warrior. This is why he has a hard time speaking. It seems he can speak a little bit, such as repeating things people say or saying the names of food.
When we hear the names of his techniques, could we be hearing Kirby’s inner voice?
Kirby eats a whole lot of different things, but is there anything he doesn’t like? What’s going on with his stomach?
Kirby eats everything with gusto. It’s important for him to eat things he likes and dislikes so he can grow up healthy, just like anyone else. There isn’t anything he dislikes, but when he eats baked sweet potatoes he can’t stop hiccupping.
As for inside his stomach, Hardy and King Dedede have taken a peek… You’d have to ask those two what it’s like in there.
How fast is Jet Kirby?
Since it’s Jet, it must be as fast as a jet plane. Some jets fly faster than the speed of sound. If Jet Kirby were to go the speed of sound, that would be 340 meters per second (1115.49 ft per second). That’s 1,224 kilometers per hour (~767 mph).
Is Fumu the only one who can call the Warp Star?
According to Sir Meta Knight, “Only someone who loves Kirby can call the Warp Star.” Fumu cares about Kirby more than anyone else. But if you cherish Kirby with all your heart, maybe you can summon it too.
About Other Characters
What’s up with Bun’s eyes?
Bun has eyes. You just can’t see them because of how long his bangs are.
Can you rank Kabu, Whispy Woods, and Acore from oldest to youngest?
Kabu is said to have lived for hundreds of millions of years. And Acore is older than Whispy, so it would go Kabu, Acore, and Whispy, in that order.
Does Chief Borun live in the police station? Or maybe with his parents?
The chief’s house is connected to the police station. To be specific, it’s behind it. ..By the way, there’s a big secret hidden in Chief Borun’s house. As for what it is… You’ll have to see for yourself. Don’t miss Kirby every week.
(Note: Likely referring to the hoarding problem!)
What does the inside of Castle Dedede look like? (as in, where is everyone’s room and on what floor)
Castle Dedede has been destroyed and rebuilt many times. On top of that, countless Waddle Dees are renovating and adding onto it on a daily basis! So in fact, no one knows for sure. I can’t tell you what it is now, but there’s a huge secret hidden in the basement of the castle… Really!
About the Story and Production
Why is Dedede always trying to beat Kirby?
Maybe Dedede is mean to Kirby because he actually likes him. King Dedede is a selfish show-off and Kirby is very popular, so it could be that just rubs him the wrong way.
When will Nightmare be confronted?
Nightmare has sent many magical beasts to try and defeat Kirby. After sending so many, Nightmare must have a good understanding of Kirby’s abilities. Which means… the time for Kirby to face Nightmare must be near.
What do the voice actors do to voice their characters?
The voice actors gather in the post-recording studio and have fun recording each week. Everyone is energetic and unique, so there’s all sorts of ad-libbing and joking. This kind of lively energy is one of Kirby’s main charms. Which character is your favorite?
I’m good at drawing Kirby, but I can’t draw Meta Knight or King Dedede. Please give me some tips on how to draw them.
King Dedede is also in the how to draw song. Let’s practice while singing along. You can draw Kirby well, so if you practice, you’ll be able to draw the others well! Do your best!!!
Saw that one chapter of Manpuku Pupupu Fantasy about Marx being Kirby’s childhood best friend and I haven’t been thinking about anything else since
(first drawing is with the direct quote from one single panel from that chapter and it hurts so much?? ) ((also idk what is happening with the bg in that one, I’m sleepy hdgxhc))
Sometime you just get a sudden silly urge to sketch out gijinka designs for your favs (the only reason that prompted this is me thinking about how Marx and Magolor will look as Gijinkas without hands/feet jdjct)
((Also all the art requests from before are being worked on I’m just really slow sorry hh ))
Okay yeah anime dedede evil and out of character whatever. What if he calmed down and started being nice and was forced to realize how awful he’d been. What then huh
i’m honestly very tired of seeing kirby anime negativity and hate so to counteract it id love to know people’s favorite characters/moments/episodes/anything from the anime! what makes this special little piece of kirby history so special!!
i’ve only watched about half of the anime but personally i love the wolfwrath/chillidog episode!! it goes way harder than it has any right to
He went and did it anyway. On the incredibly RARE occasion, DDD will try to run his big projects through Vezzpa. But, only for the things he KNOWS he can’t realistically hide from her. He’s almost NEVER successful when he tries to hide the monsters, but that doesn’t exactly stop him…
*Inhales sharply* Soooo, I might’ve made a KRBAY oc, purely for the fun of it and to have something funny and therapeutic to doodle if not to help me with writing funny and believable character interactions. don’t bully me
Arle Kirby and Carbuncle I drew for a Kirby Copy ability art contest for a Discord server I’m in. I don’t think I’m going to win anything, but it was fun to draw this.
“Oh, a sailor’s life is a life for me, How I love to sail On the bounding sea If you want to sail A ship like mine And be a sailor all the time Then learn to do The Sailor’s Hornpipe Just like me!"
I just love Sailor Waddle Dee so much and it makes me sad that his fate is left unclear in the end of Revenge of Meta Knight. If he really drowns in the end of the game, then perhaps his soul will sail and dance for an eternity on the waves of the Secret Sea, who knows.⠀
Nothing too special here art wise but I really like the result! It also eases my stress when I do the line art the way I did in this case.⠀ ⠀ I was inspired heavily by Highland dancing. The traditional Sailor’s hornpipe is simply the best! It looks so fun and I wish I could learn the steps some day ⠀ ⠀ Programs used: Paint Tool SAI and Clip Studio Paint.⠀
