hi there

Yo

ROOKIES BABY!

hello

Hi

Kirby: The King's Gambit

I like this short too.

This was made by Painter Seap and if you haven't already you should absolutely look them up because they have a ton of Kirby animations on their channel and they're all amazing

@@Vegas242 I have seen some of their videos before.

Actually, that’s usually Meta Knight, Dedede picked that up in Revenge of the King

He is a selfish jerk, but definitely more mature than Eggman, whose reaction would be not prettier...

@@maksymilianziele28 If he's selfish, why did he explain Kirby chess?

​@@maksymilianziele28more like was, for where I've seen, Dedede still has that ego of his but recently shown selfless actions, along with being one of Kirby's friends now (still having that rivalry ever since) unlike in this scenario which Eggman who would do anything to avoid a win for Sonic.

@@verbugterherrderdunkelheit6086 He did it so he can have the satisfaction of beating Kirby legit, because as his conscience said, “Would it really be a victory if he can’t comprehend how bad he was beaten?”

@@SirDubbs Did you listen to the way he talked to Kirby while teaching?

In one turn, no less. 😂

​@@jeremyhagans7952it's apparently life or death in chess, no matter what turn you're against your opponent.

@@nicoleflores2054 my signature move for any turn in chess is literally just flipping the board and seeing if my king lands upright

f7 or f6 must be new tech😂

@@nicoleflores2054 If both players are skilled opponents of roughly comparable levels; when its a mismatch, its... less important.

SR PELONES! AI WEI

And Painter Seap for animating him.

SEÑOR PELOOO AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

@@lotus_flower2001 yes

AYO ITS SIR PELO WHY IS THIS NOT POPULAR

Himbo Lovers self help book

Ironic considering he is a traitor in an unrelated series.

I love that he actually finishes the book during Dedede's chess lesson.

that makes two of us

​@@blakebarbee7224 He just thought that everyone on Dreamland was too lazy.

There are CD Dramas out there where Kirby holds entire conversations His vocabulary is a lot more than Poyo

@@nidhogg8446 Kirby doesn't ever say "Poyo" in the mainline games also, actually. "Hii!" is used as his catchphrase.

yet kirby still doesn't say all that much. i really like it. i always picture their vocabulary to be more akin to that of a toddler. like they understand what YOU'RE saying but can find trouble conveying the same feeling back

Poyo.

@@PlaguedByEarth 🍗

That's essentially how Kirby's powers and abilities work. Whenever Kirby exposes himself to something new, he is able to master that skill or ability near instantly and take that skill or ability to a level of grand mastery befitting a super prodigy. All while being an endearingly super cute child in the absolute.

@@Center-For-I.E.D.Mismanagement That's what he was trying to do in the beginning. Copy chess. He'd become a deep blue color with knight for a crown. He'd also probably throw explosive pawns or something.

@@NFITC1 Poyo!

@@NFITC1 Nah he'd throw giant rooks that slide across the screen, attack diagonally with drill bishops, and "sword dive" with a knight.

That's the thing about Kirby that this really managed to capture where a lot of other animations fail, he's not stupid, he's young. Just like how Dedede isn't stupid, he's comically short sighted. A lot of the time people will look at the Kirby anime and assume that's their personalities when really in the games they're completely different. I think this animation was based off of the opening to Kirby Planet Robobot, where Dedede is playing chess before being attacked and the fact that Mashed chose to use Kirby and Dedede's game personalities really shows how well they understand the series (Sorry if none of that makes sense I'm really sleepy right now)

oh I see you are a man of culture by knowing that (Poyo) Kirbo is actually a devoted christian.

that's not kirbo.

@@dabo7791 that's not kirbo.

​@@kkirby999it's just a joke related to Terminal montage bro

I love Kirbo!

Same

Bandee is just a simple soul

Bandana Dee is just that supportive towards his friends no matter what.

Bandana Dee also never left the place

I just started the video and had to see if anyone else was talking about that. It’s such a cute thing that feels really in-line with Bandee’s personality!

Yeah once I realised that this was made by painter seap I instantly knew it was gonna be great

I personally like how the chess moves Dedede mentions are references to Kirby enemies.

They’re my favorite, in sharp contrast to their parodies that rely on shock value. If you’re not 13 or have seen plenty of those there’s nothing entertaining about them.

Its always a nice refresher that, while Dedede is an antagonist, he's not necessarily evil... Although I still don't forgive him for hoarding the kingdom's food.

Poyo

Sarifus really nailed the emotional highs and lows, and kinda brought something completely new to it that I wasn't entirely expecting but it worked out really well

To me at least it has that blend between the English dub by Ted in KRBAY and his canonical game voice. It sounds kind of nice really. In fact it sounds a bit like Mark Hamill.

@@marrqi7wini54 glad I wasn’t the only one thinking the same

Yeah, this guy would be a perfect English voice for him, were they to make a movie, another anime, or what have you, where Dedede had a full speaking role.

Ignorance is power

According to the lore Kirby is a physical manifestation of condensed happiness apparently.

Do you hate the anime?

The anime portrayal isnt all that consistent with the games

@@anonymouslucario285 Personally I find the anime to be pretty good, but it is a completely different animal from the games, with both Kirby and Dedede being more goofy goobers in it than their video game counterparts.

​​@@jondoe7036I thought DeDeDe in the anime was the best part of the show though. That and Ted Lewis helps it out. But I do like this portrayal as well. Which ever you prefer, I love both portrayals.

@@jondoe7036I think of it as pseudo canon.

I believed it made by the same guy who did the cult of the lamb animation so that why

@@bigwave1713Cult of the Lamb is anything but wholesome.

@@bigwave1713it’s actually by the guy who made the sonic clone chaos animations.

Painter Seap

Ok?

I just KNEW that art style looked familiar!

Bandana Dee's sign 🙂

It’s his cash cow..

The funny thing is that it wasn't even when he lost at first, but only when Kirby was satisfied that he won the practice round. To him, it's probably like he just lost his opportunity 🤣

in the modern kirby games, they are no longer enemies, just friendly rivals!

@@afreakingmistake True!

​@@afreakingmistakenot even modern They aren't enemies since adventure

@@magolor-3100 ah yes that is true

Or, "(Texan drawl) Go clobber that there Kirby!"

​@@JamesDavy2009don't go mocking that since it's technically the canon voice for him

​@@Gendotherendosince when was the anime canon

@@jclkaytwo Sakurai by rehiring the exact same English voice actors

@@Gendotherendo ?????

have you heard of the one that existed a while back?

@@Sleepy_Cabbage yea that's why i said modern, because the anime is really outdated nowadays

good catch!

@@PaintraSeaPea0.0 PaintraSeaPea I have subbed to you! I watched your latest video and you helped make this! Congratulations!

This animation was by PainterSeap which explains why everything is so on point.

@@TheDuckyDino I love him! Guess that makes sense.

Yeah after being traumatized by the whole minecraft and Dedede video , my hopes weren't really that high

“Queenie with a peenie.”

HA! BROMA!

After 6 years of playing video games they've finally ran out of games to play Except 1 Join Dan and Arin on one last ride along the steam train .

yep, along by being the writer of this animation

@@nicoleflores2054 oh sick!

Kirby actually has an anime called “right back at ya”. Most of this is based off of the same charge and atmosphere that the anime had presented.

​@@xjammy3315oh i know of that anime! i found it really funny as well, though a series with an animation like this would rock

@@nicoleflores2054 I was only mentioning because this (and anything Kirby related) is inspired off of that anime

@@xjammy3315 true but the characterization is pretty in line with the game's version of their personalities.

@@nicoleflores2054 the games version of their personalities was based off of the anime

I'm ded

Meta knight is hiding

youre the first person I've seen point that out!

I have to make the obvious joke. Dededenial..

I makes me so happy to see a massive Kirby fan get to make an amazing little toon! Seap really nailed the characters, cute little references and cameos. Like, they wrote Dedede portraying EVERYTHING about his character. His outward confidence, his internal insecurities, his intelect, his willingness to help, the need to have a fair fight. Not to mention how EXPRESSIVE HE IS IN THIS ITS INSANE. Also shout-out to Bandee cheering for both Dedede and Kirby, that's such a great joke.

Kirby is canonically a god/product of one (play through Soul Melter EX in Star Allies) but that is largely irrelevant, it’s liking making the fact that someone is blonde their entire character, or something; yeah Kirby’s a god-thing but that’s largely irrelevant in the actual game and storyline. It’s not something that needed to be explained, but it got explained and that just raised even more questions, which is possibly the opposite of the purpose of a pause screen. I‘ve only seen one instance of that handled well, though; a part of the old audio drama cd was animated, and instead of drawing Kirby, Elfilin drew Void, and that was the joke- I prefer the other animation of that segment, though, as it had more stuff going on in it- you should be able to maybe find them by looking up Kirby audio cd animated?

@@runeanonymous9760 I've already played through Kirby Star Allies Soul Melter EX and no you're VERY wrong, Kirby is canonically NOT a god/product of one whatsoever. I've done so much research on Kirby lore so don't even try to start with me, Kirby isn't related to Void, Dark Matter, or anything of the sort at all. Void is a being that takes multiple forms depending on the energy gathered and where it came from. In its normal base state, it's a floating purple ball without a face. Hyness in the Japanese version states his clan "worships the matter of darkness" so he wanted to resurrect Void in the form of Dark Matter to destroy the universe. With the combination of his own pure hatred, the corrupted mages, and the dark hearts, he was able to do so. Kirby interfered and when he broke Void out of his cocoon in phase two, Void was vulnerable to Kirby's influence. It created a kind soul within Void, one created by Kirby's influence hence the Kirby like face and Green Greens theme. It's even stated in a developer interview that Hyness only labeled Void a god and the many faces Void makes are because the many thoughts and faces going through Hyness' mind. The kind soul Kirby created starts to clash with the darkness created by Hyness (the Dark Matter looking face) which is why it still attacks you and is able to be hurt by the friend hearts. Ultimately the darkness is still in control, Void's too far gone in the story mode so he just dies when defeated. In the normal Soul Melter, it shows the soul Kirby created starting to surface more and more, "in the Void there lurks...a soul!" Then finally, Soul Melter EX's fight with Astral Birth Void shows the kind soul Kirby created finally winning and overcoming the darkness in him. This is shown by the 8but Green Greens theme, the fact that Void's attacks get progressively more and more predictable as the fight goes on, it's the kind soul (Kirby like face) resisting and holding back the Dark Matter looking side. It's gaining more and more control, at last when it's defeated its able to completely take over getting rid of the darkness in him. THAT'S all what's canon, Kirby this cute little pink puffball was not born from this thing capable of becoming a dark beast lmao. That is INCREDIBLY cursed and thankfully untrue. I already saw that animation and it was good up until they showed that Elfilin had drawn Void because it implies something that's completely not true and cursed, tainted like the whole animation. So again, thank you Mashed for not just doing another dumb off putting untrue "Kirby is a god or product of one" animation. Know your facts and evidence on Kirby before spewing nonsense.
