Seeing Kirby in such a dark perspective somehow doesn’t make me uneasy. Because it makes sense due to most of the lore and how people created theories about it.

I wasn’t expecting this Kirby meme to get brutally dark. I love it.

The Kirby series really is the definition of "Trust no one, not even yourself."

I LOVE SEEING PEOPLE MAKE KIRBY CONTENT I love Kirby sm even if I've barely played any of the games. Everything is so cute and then the lore is just... yeah the lore- also I don't trust butterflies anymore

"I am Injury" "No you aren't! You make the choice to be!" fits the situation so damn well, bravo my mans.

The thing I love about Kirby is that… despite how dark everything around him may get, he keeps a smile on his face, and is confident that he will see it through. Real people might not be as strong, but it’s inspiring to see Kirby always make it out alright in the end.

Fun fact, everyone! According to the Kirby star allies novel, Kirby had an existential crisis at seeing void termina! I love seeing people use the idea of Kirby having existentialism about this. It's such a cool idea that more people should expand on

Was rewatching this slowly to see how you gave the Kirby cast such emotion... ...to find out you gave them teeth. Now THAT'S something I can't unsee.

There's so much lore and connections all crammed into a 44 second animation and after watching this like 50 times I seriously just went frame by frame in slow motion to see all the details and I'm just in love with this entire video! Kirby has got the most messed up content in it and this shows it all for all to see and it's about time!

I think what makes this so fitting and sad, even for an animation "meme", is that Astral Birth Void (AB Void if you prefer) is at least canonically intended to be a being from the same origins as Kirby but instead of having been given freedom and people to help nurture it AB Void had only rejection and hatred from tribes that feared it. They're both supposed to originate from "Void", the embodiment of a true neutrality in the Kirby universe, totally formless and unstable until it bonds with positive or negative powers. The pieces of Void that are exposed to, and bond completely with, negative powers become creatures such as Dark Matter which only cause negative outcomes as a result. Dark Matter is quite literally the "shape of going wrong", only able to survive by not just destroying but undoing the goodness around them. AB Void was basically just Kirby if, instead of being loved and being able to save people, he had no freedom to shape himself. It's not QUITE dark matter, it's still not driven away by Kirby's love and hope like Zero was, but it's easily the largest evolving mass of Void that could have become Dark Matter. It's Kirby if he were mere moments away from giving up on life and being forced into Dark Matter by no choice of his own. In that sense Kirby going "No, you made the choice to be!" feels fittingly in denial about looking at what might as well have been himself, or his own kin, unjustly hurt and mutated into pure, unaligned chaos. That could have been him, that could be him, and the only reason it isn't is because he happened to grow up differently. It wasn't really AB Void's choice, either, though. That's just what AB Void believes it is; a living scar beginning to believe that it will never fully heal. It's faces shape itself to all different kinds of dark matter, on the verge of fully transforming, it's attacks are inspired by Miracle Matter as well (a whole different topic but basically Miracle matter is like a small piece of void already too far gone, unstable). It's a small detail but in-game, it even copies the face made by Zero Two's host body before being taken over. Not dissimilar to Magalor Soul's smiling corpse being used as dark matter's host. Giving in. That's dark matter's nature and if AB Void did the same, the cycle would repeat again and again. The way it loses it's smile in the animation fits the situation well like that even if it's all coincidentally done. You can't just tell someone they chose to be hurt by others and be taught the things they did. That they could have chosen to be different, be like you, that there's no way you could be like they are. Even if it makes you feel better about your own fine-line between who you are and the tortured mess you could have been if you were just a little less lucky, it's scary to think you aren't as willing and noble as you believe.

Dark Kirby content is the best Kirby content. These games are dark as all hell story-wise, and it's always the best when someone portrays that with the dark realism it deserves.

I love that ending sequence where is seems to hint that Kirby is leaving because he fears he will face the same fate of being sealed away out of fear by the people he trusted and loved, just like Galacta Knight because of his resemblance to Void

THIS IS REALLY SO WELL DONE I'M SPEECHLESS THE WAY YOU SHOW THE LORE, SO FULL OF FEELINGS AND SENTIMENT, THE PRETTY ART, RHE SMOOTH ANIMATION, THE COLOR PALETTE THE KIRBY FANDOM NEVER DISSAPOINTS AND IM TRULY HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT EVEN TO THIS DAY

knowing how actually dark kirby can be, i’m surprised that more of this hasn’t been created

Love how a simple game about a penguin stealing everyone's food ended up in so much lore that you could write 3 novels from it

I love this animation! The idea that Kirby is haunted by what’s happened to some of his friends like Magolor is really interesting, especially with him noticing the similarities Void has both to himself and the Zero and having some sort of crisis because of it

Kirby's emotions in this video, seem to describe our entire time. A creature that was literally created purely out of joy can also be sad and cry...

Despite Kirby’s upbeat and happy nature the series itself is really dark. I’m glad to see more Kirby content.

Magolor representing control is actually very fitting because when the Master Crown takes him over he completely loses control over his mind.

"Heart" being the one part of the beginning chant that is never skipped fits really well in the context of Kirby. You can lose your love, lose your mind, lose control, but the heart's a stubborn thing. Or the soul is, which would explain all these superbosses. Also during the beginning chant, the progression of each character through their Timeline of getting Emotionally Destroyed is so cool. Like, Kirby goes from :D - Friend Hearts Acquired - so much Dark Matter - existential depression, Susie goes from stealing the interface headset - realizing the consequences - about to sic Kirby on Star Dream - regular depression, Taranza goes happy - thinking about the Mirror - outright mourning - mourning so hard he summons an illusion of his old love, and Magolor progresses from his introductory appearance all the way through his bossfight. And then Marx is going through normal - wish - dead - SOUL and jumpscaring me. God damn.

No one’s gonna talk about the end card? It was really wholesome to see the squad just chilling and eating. The animation though, just absolutely amazing!! I really love the effort and everything about it! :D

You know, Kirby probably would genuinely develop scopophobia over time given how many abominations he's fought that are literally giant eyeballs 😭 Excellent work!!

Not gonna lie this is actually relatable to the actual new Kirby in the forgotten land game because I have it and I have realized Kirby had sacrificed a lot just to get to the end, for example killing many gods with upgrades he got

I have single handedly watch this 20 times. the animation is so clean and the dark plot is amazing! I’d love to see a animation about Kirby and the forgotten land. Keep up the great work!

oh. my. god. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS!! the animation, the way you draw the characters, everything is just perfect. i watched the video, then went back and just looked at each frame. kirby has been my special interest for over a year now, so i always enjoy seeing things like this!! i think you should definitely make more kirby content if you want. and this is the perfect day to release this, since it’s the 30th anniversary of my most favorite game franchise ever. happy birthday kirby!!

This animation gives me a ridiculous amount of serotonin, it's just so perfect?! The emotions, on fucking POINT. The beats, perfectly timed. The lore, flawlessly integrated. I am obsessed and can't stop watching, thank you!

Kirby must be hiding some HARD ptsd from his fights with the dark matters ALONE without including his other foes

It's like the first half of the song was MADE for Kirby characters, why does it fit so well??? It also doesn't help that the four characters can be compared back to the four main elements of the Kirby universe (according to Void): Dream, Heart, Darkness, and Soul respectively. (Though one could argue whether Hearts or Dreams suit Susie or Taranza better.)

Imagine showing this to someone who knows nothing about Kirby aside from “Yay! happy little pink thing eat!”

I want to admit Kirby has gone thru so much trauma trying to protect not only their freinds but sometimes the whole universe is put into this one poor pink round lad and I feel horrible for them on so many levels words can’t explain how much this meme makes sense.

There isn’t enough animations like this out there, I love all the little details and how much personality you give all the characters, especially Kirby.

Absolutely phenomenal! I love the little inclusion of the dreaded butterfly as well, really tied it all together.

Fun fact: *Kirby has killed gods.*

OH MY GOD I WAS SO EXCITED FOR THIS TO BE UPLAODEDD THIS TURNED OUT SO GOODDD. there so much detail put into this ilove how this looks SO MUCH!! i love the backgrounds, how the ones earlier in the animation have stuff to do with the lore of the characters respective games, and the ones with void look like they took soo long, ALSO SPEAKING OF VOID I REALLY LIKE HOW YOU DID THE RAINBOWS ON THEM AT 0:23 this animation fuckin rocks and imgoing go watch this forever it’s so so good. you did an amazing job on this :D

The animation is amazing and I love how this shows Kirbys lore

THIS IS SO COOOOL, I never considered the choice meme/song for Kirby but its so perfect with the lyrics and everything. Also this video is just oozing effort and care, from the editing to the animation to the storytelling. I can’t imagine how long it took you!

the darker themes of kirby expressed thru animation pains me and it is so good

I love the fact that at the end it shows some of the characters and Kirby says "that skit was too scary", Dedede says "you think so?" and bandana is comforting Kirby :)

This is amazing and a perfect representation of the series and its characters. This is litterally the best kirby animation I have seen ever. I also love how all of the movements align perfectly with the music. The expressions are also so good! 💖💖💖💖

Best 44 seconds of my life. The animation is amazing and the art style is so pleasing and perfect! Also, the emotional journey the characters go on, and void lore! I love! I always love seeing people give Kirby a realistic reaction to seeing Void.

The perfect timelapse of kirby developing stronger trust issues as time progresses

I LITERALLY SCREAMED AT THE END "KIRBY NO DONT GO", I LOVED THIS

I have watched this SO many times Also, I’m in love with the expressions and THAT SYNCHRONIZATION WITH MORPHO BUTTERFLY AND THE SONG IS THE BEST THING EVER I SWEAR

this animation so be fire tho 🔥 one of the few depressing animations I could find of kirby since well *he's a ball of pure joy and happiness.*

I swear to Nova: that little pink puffball is filled with so much trauma... one of these days they're just gonna snap.

kirby trying to be friendly with/reason with void is hurting me-

Kirby Lore behind the bright and happy gameplay:

He got betrayed 3 times, he is still kind to anyone

That moment when you realize that that last shot of Kirby was the ORIGINAL Kirby from the first game, holy shit

void lore! void lore! void lore! this whole thing is beautiful. When you decide to look a little bit into kirby games that stuff gets dark, QUICK. You did a great job capturing that feel 👌

When some guy decided its time to simplify the entire kirby lore in 44 seconds And now i can never see kirby as a cute game then...

This fits the lore about how dark it actually is but like for some reason it makes kinda sad for Kirby because of how much he had to go through

Welcome to the Kirby series, where you can’t even trust a butterfly

I usually don't like animation memes, but THIS is awesome!

I never seen this much effort put into a kirby animation meme im s h o o k e d

Okay, as far as i seen, nobody has mentioned this, but i think Kirby has his hands stained with blood because he has killed people and he feels guilty about that

THE COLORS ARE SO PLEASING TO LOOK AT HOLY- this is great!! i love the vibe to this, awesome job 💕💕

I LOVE THIS! THE ANIMATION IS JUST PERFECT AND THE SIMBOLISM! Oh the simbolism... Confronted by the Void in its primal form, the origin of his complete existence, Kirby can't deny a reality long avoided: his closeness to all the dark entities that terrorized those he consider friends. What makes him special? It's being a representation of love enough of an excuse to eradicate both the broken and the obsessed? It's his love an eternal protection from the negative emotions that had been flowing towards him? What even makes him sure that the breaking point won't appear in the next adventure? Kirby doesn't know, but something inside probably holds all the answers he isn't prepared to hear. He walks away, as it's common for him, but the only danger in sight (at least in his perspective) it's residing inside the savior of Dreamland.

I think this is the most amazing animation meme I’ve ever seen. You stick to the format, but change up each sequence the smallest bit to convey something is off. Then we get the ending scene and it’s just so filled with movement and color and HORROR omg. You’re talented.

i commented on tumblr too but just i cant get over how good all of this is, this is just absolutely incredible i love every part of it

i don’t know why but after rewatching this for the 16th time i noticed that Dedede was wearing the forgo mask and my heart shattered allll over again

THIS IS SO GOOD!!! the animation is really smooth and i love the way you draw them oh my god 😭❤️ istg kirby lore wouldn’t be this crazy if they all went to therapy

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH IM IN LOVE WITH THIS AND KIRBY- IM GONNA CRY

I can't stop watching this; it's like the 30th time this week

Ooo this is so dope!! Kirby content tends to be positive and happy bc at a baseline view that's what kirby games are. It's cool to see really angsty content bc it ties well with the actual lore :0 Ofc I love both still:]

BESTIE THIS IS AWESOME SNJXMDKXKDNF I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!! THE ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH AND- AND- THE LORE AND EVERYTHING AAAAAAAAAAA- SENDING LOTS OF LOVE

Best Kirby animation on youtube and you can't change my mind You explained 75% of the Kirby Lore in less than 50 seconds, you God

Ever since I saw this video I wanted more. I haven't seen anyone do this with kirby, I wish it was a comic.

This video just shows how much *pain* Kirby has seen and gone through. and still keeps a smile, *somehow.*

Fun fact: melatonin is actually a type of drug you can take without prescription that helps with insomnia. So in a nutshell, they’re scared of sleep

My favourite Kirby animation meme fr, THE STYLE, THE GREAT ANIMATION, THE COLOURS, THE ANGSTT

OH THIS IS SO GOOD!!! Kirby lore is so cool and this animation sums that up perfectly. I love your designs for the characters (especially kirby like the way you draw him is SO expressive) AND THE ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH AS WELL LIKE WOW. 0:18 - 0:27 is my favourite part.

Dedede is scared by still willing to fight along side kirby, truly a king. I like to think he's screaming "I'MA SUPA STAR WARRIORA!" In his head out of fear.

I have watched this more times than I can count and I’m loving ever little detail! You’ve done an amazing job thinking all this out!

I’ve realized Kirby really defined my aesthetic. I love the cutesy look with very dark undertones

Man, Kirby animations are so well made Also I love Kirby

wow very good animation meme and a nostalgia of fear darkness of kirby and very sad I think your well video will be the number one soon on KZfaq xd

This is so adorable! I wish my school computer had KZfaq, I would watch it on loop!

Happy 30th Anniversary Kirby 🥳 and also hopefully Nintendo will do like a sequel for Kirby Right Back At Ya for Kirby’s 30th Anniversary cause it would be cool to see the modern Kirby characters from the modern Kirby Games coming to the Kirby Anime universe you know and also I would see someone making a Friday Night Funkin Mod based off of this Kirby meme animation

Yeah this is accurate many of kirby foes suffer loss and defeat on the pink puffball then join him on his quest to stop the the jamba heart to get something out of it. Taranza loss of sectonia yet he still lookimg for a "queen". Magolor being possess by the crown and did a betray on kirby only to suffer his sanity for power he can't control. President haltmann trying to bring his daugther that drove him to complete star dream OS unaware that his daugther is his secretary Suzanna (Susie) Haltmann is right there besides him. Marx another kirby foe that wanted to rule popstar only for him to beaten and use as a projectile against star nova. Then there kirby who is actually void with positive emotion against another void with an obssesion to destroying galaxies.

the purer this thing is, the more desire you have to corrupt it

Kirby's Return to Therapy, out now for Nintendo Switch.

This is awesome I love how you drew the characters 👍

THIS IS A MASTERPIECE. THE ANIMATION IS GOD LEVELED AND THE ART IS SOOOO GOOD. IT EVEN TIES THE LORE IN. HOW THE HECK DO YOU DRAW AND ANIMATE THIS GOOD? I NEED A TUTORIAL.

I SWEAR EVERY KIRBY ANIMATION PEOPLE MAKE IS ALWAYS SO WELL MADE ESPECIALLY THIS ONE??? I’m literally IN LOVE with this The style the animation the story just EVERYTHING 😭💕💕❤️👀💕

wow, a good kirby animation meme, I think this will come too much to visit your good video soon you'll reach 100,000 subscribers

Kirby being in a dark theme like that without the limitation of it being family friendly would be an amazing game premise for the series.

not me pausing every single frame to see all the details

OMG THIS IS INCREDIBLE !!!! All the detail, the art, the animation, everything is so good !! I love this so so so much !!! Thank you for making this masterpiece ! :D

the kirby lore is the defenition of *DON'T TRUST ANYONE NOT EVEN YOURSELF*

First off I just want to say this is one of my favorite Kirby animation so really good job to the person that made it. Second just love all the little details that you put around the characters like the little white crown for magalor and the flower for taranza. But I think my favorite part about this is probably when there is an absence of a word the character no longer has it like taranza no longer having control, Hartmann no longer having a brain taken over by star dream and sections no longer having a heart and instead replaced with cruelty.

How can something cute like kirby had an so dark lore it is scarier then the fnaf lore

THIS IS AMAZING, this caused me to look at the kirby lore for like 3 hours, im just in love with how many references of the lore you put and honestly best kirby meme ive seen

How did you manage to make that last “caffeinate” sound so defeated just by putting dead Marx over it

this has no right being SO FREAKING COOL

This is… I have no words its so incredible and dark but with Kirby Its amazing how u did this using FlipaClip

Kirby has the guts to ask a dark god what he is… *why*

OOOH THIS IS SO PRETTY AND TALENTED!! i’m so glad to see you upload more of this stuff!!

I can't stop replayin this

This has explained Kirby lore better than any amount of reading could.
