“Void exists in all dimensions, but his shining form in another dimension inspired the ancients to transcribe his mysteries in sacred texts. What will be written next? Will the new scrolls describe a destroyer of worlds, or an ally to the stars?”

Kirby : positive energy Void: negative energy Gooey: energy.

First, you draw a circle then you dot the eyes add a great big smile, and presto! It’s...it’s...

Kirby inhales an enemy, but he spits out a star.

I feel bad for Void having an emotional mess up and a existencial crisis at the same time

Whether Void becomes a Super Star, or a matter most dark, is unknown. But we can only hope for his Return to Dreamland.

5:49 as void snaps back into reality, he realizes that a song is playing in the distance. It sounds...happy, and cheerful, and so familiar...it's not at all like the sounds he usually hears. It's not a song of sorrows or a chorus of jealousy, it's a tune of hope and love. Void listens, somehow knowing what note comes next. He smiles, feeling warmth in his core, warmth he'd never felt before. Void wonders, will he ever have what this song has? And then, a final blow has been struck, and Void is defeated. Just before Void's body gives out, he feels a calm, gentle breeze. He smells yummy treats, and starts to yearn for Naptime. It feels unreal, like he's in a dream land, but void knows that he'll get to stay in this paradise for a while. As a last goodbye to the world he once roamed, he smiled, letting everyone know that he's finally ok. Void steps into his new home, and lays under a tree for a well deserved nap. And when Void wakes up? Hopefully...hopefully...hopefully... he'll be my friend.

I have never identified with a sphere this much in my life.

I can't believe this thing is related to kirby. Imagine the horrors that would be brought to dreamland if kirby ended up like void did. There would be no hero to stop nightmare from stealing dreams, dark matter would continue to spread, O2 would destroy ripple star, marx would take over popstar, magolor would get his hands on the master crown, queen sectonia would fall further into madness and let her kingdom fall into nothingness, and haltmann will complete his mechaization of the entire planet. It's a pretty grim reminder that if kirby wasn't influenced by positive energy, the entire universe would've been brought to it's knees. Also you did an amazing job on with the animation! I bet it was tedious to animate voids patterns.

Right as Void explodes, he emits the same star particles as the Friend Attacks do, and smiles. Immediately afterwards, you unlock Kirby’s original design. I think this is Hal’s way to illustrate Void’s rebirth has spawned a new Kirby somewhere.

That ending actually made me tear up. The tragedy of Void, and what it could have been, had it only received the positive emotions Kirby had.

Man, that 8-bit part got me, especially when he tilted his head. He doesn't really understand what's going on and finally gets defeated. But, as with any real star or planet, the beginning stages of an Astral birth will always be chaotic ones until it becomes a more.....stable form from the energies gathered. And something tells me that this little diamond in the sky... just got a free ticket to happiness and spring breezes.....and BIG appetite!

Fun fact: the Kirby timeline would’ve never happened if dedede decided he didn’t want to steal the food

Void Astral Birth... That name will always stick with me... So chilling...

Something about hearing Kirby's theme creep into this at the end coupled with Kirby's face on Void send a shiver down my spine

That moment when it looks like Kirby has been but one incarnation of a divine eldritch abomination and didn't only become a good force for the multiverse but also the harbinger of the god of death. Kirby lore is amazing y'all @~@

Let me just say that I absolutely adore how Void switches to his Dark Matter forms when the Song of Supplication leitmotif plays in the song. It's almost as if the song itself is conflicted over what melody to choose, similar to how Void is conflicted between the matters of good and evil. You did an amazing job with this.

I’m getting everything I ever wanted and asked for The void inside me is starting to be filled with happiness

"Kirby... Kirby.... I'm.... h a p p y....." "Let this pain end, Kirby..." "It hurts...." "Let me feel the spring breeze again..." "I want to live... I want to feel emotions..." "Please Kirby.... free me from this misery..."

I'd like to believe when Void smiles when he's beaten, it's that he's finally feeling free from being what he once was. Idk, just a thought.

Hal clearly wants us kirby fans to have a headache... THIS IS TOO MUCH LORE GUYS, STOP

since this thing is related to kirby, and it dies smiling and happy, i like to think the classic kirby you unlock afterwards is him reincarnated the way kirby started out, positive and not evil.

Damn, I'm really surprised of how you did with Void's patterns. Not many people can nail that lol.

5:38 Are we just gonna ignore the fact that we see Old Kirby/Kirb's face for a quick second?

Lore with every attack void has and the faces that void makes is amazing.

*sighs* This. This tragic being of destruction. He just needs friends...Hopefully, that dream will come true.

I’m genuinely wondering where the Kirby series will go from here Also when the orchestra kicks in, the animation looks like something from Hollow Knight

First you draw a circle! Then you dot the eyes! Add a big smile! and Presto!!! It's death.

A little backstory behind the production of this! I think I actually first got the idea to do something like this when I first listened to this song in full. anyone who has played this boss fight probably knows what I'm talking about when I say the music pretty much blew me away . It was a transcendent experience almost. Completely unexpected! So I wanted to make something that captured the feeling of listening to it for the first time, kinda. something that you could watch and go "Oh yeah, this is THE video for this song." I hope that doesn't sound vain, that's mainly what I was trying to achieve so it's up to you to determine if I reached that! I am very proud of how it came out. I first started working on this on... march 11th i think..? So that's less than two months of time I had to finish it. I actually got the idea to do the rest of the Green Greens collab while working on this! I honestly almost doubted if this was possible. but I did it! thank you so much for watching! and, if you're subscribed to me for the funny short videos, don't worry, I'm still working on getting more of those out there!

4:35 Those eyes are pure insanity. Void is in another level of emotionally broken.

Good lord, those little one-frame glitches that happen when the chiptune is starting to kick in. Personal favorite detail.

I still think this boss in Star Allies is one of the most depressing yet uplifting Kirvy Bosses of all time. Hyness wanted to summon Void to destroy all worlds, but Void never truly wanted that. Void was a blank canvas, this is due to both black AND pink hearts being scattered across the galaxies. What would've happened if Hyness had gathered the pink ones instead?

No one: The Void: •{}•

Kirby is part of this destructive force. Yet, because he was made of love, he fell to his new home, popstar. He took on the form of an intimidating creature, the meta knight, to scare off attackers. Because he was made of love he became a cute puffball instead. He had to face his opposite, what was held deep inside. Because he was made of love, he saved the universe.

We are all Kin of Void. We were all nothing before we were something. We were all nothing. But not any more. Void means nothing. Zero. You, Born of Void. Me, Born of Void. Us. Born of Void. When we die, void will take us back under her forgiving wing. We will become nothing once more. Then, it cycles all over again. Nothing, Void. Then something. It begins and ends in void.

Gooey: Dark Matter Void Termina: Dark Matter Dark Matter: Dark Matter Gooey: Made of friend hearts Void Termina: Made of Jamba Hearts Dark Matter: *Dark Matter*

Unbridled raw emotion, and a piercing gaze. Makes it surprisingly unsettling

It's like the combination of all Kirby's bosses, the ambition of the magolor, the pride of sectonia, the madness of Marx, Haltman's disinterest, the evil of Nightmare, the sorrow of Drawcia and the pain of all of them and also of Zero and dark matter, and the part that I adore more. It is that deconstruction of Greens Greens, the most characteristic theme of Kirby, literally the most iconic theme of the entire franchise, since it is on a smaller scale, which seems darker, as if something had broken inside Void. I imagine this part as Void's childhood, like another Kirby, only that instead of growing up in the pink and beautiful world of Pop Star, he would have grown into a much darker and more evil variant (probably the another dimension of the DLC and the world of Amazing Mirror) in the end being consumed by evil and becoming In the Destroyer of Worlds it is now. But as the game itself says, the next time it comes, it will be this time as an ally.

“First you draw a circle” “Then you dot the eyes” “Add a great big smile” “And presto!” “It’s-“ *reality has ceased to exist*

Void Termina (Core) -> Darkness • Takes a closer resemblance to Kirby. (Pink) • Obliteration is inevitable, for both the vessel and it’s creators. Void Soul -> Neutrality • Neither good nor bad. (Light Blue) • Takes taste of a new and better existence, but is overwhelmed in the process, thus being destroyed. Void -> Lightness • Takes a closer resemblance to Zero. (White) • Discovers a new purpose thanks to the last existence and so, it is rebirthed.

First you draw a circle Then you dot the eyes You add a great big smile And then.. *It f--ing dies*

6:05 We need to protect this smile.

5:51 that's cutest fucking thing i've ever seen in my entire life 6:14 *traumatized scream*

I love void's design, the darkness inside is clear from hyness' influencer, but outside is a white canvas painted by kirby's kindness. Void switches between dark matter form (ever opening eye) and kirby form. Once he is reborn as kirby, his inner eye will close, and he will be able to dream again.

0:34 me having a normal conversation but then realizing that there's an ant on my shoulder

Here are the time stamps for when the recognizable areas appear. 0:46 - Hyperzone 3:22 - Dark Star 4:25 and 5:42 - Hyperzone 2 5:53 - Kirby's Dreamland

Kirby and literally everyone in the fight besides void: why...? Do i feel sad? Is this wrong? Do i know this is right? Who's the real villian? *WHAT DO I DO*

I’ve been waiting for someone to animate the core of Void Termina for a long time now

Kirby is Void's positive incarnation. When Kirby Star Allies ends Kirby's Dream Land starts and so on. Void's colors, the friend movement stars appearing when he "dies", his color, his knowledge about every boss Kirby has met (Kirby's memories), the chiptune part in his theme, being an "Astral Birth", as Kirby is astral too (Kirby of the Stars), and most importantly the artpiece "A farewell to Kirby" (Kirby goes off as there can't be two Kirbys, and thus is replaced by classic Kirby, a younger version who we even get to play as in KSA, confirming my theory even more!)

5:52 still reminds me of the first time I fought him and downright was in shock when this started playing when I had the game paused to hear the whole theme

I have a theory: kirby is a species, probably born from an ancient void kirby that is now dead. Kirby was born from void, making him the most powerful kirby of everyone. Meta knight, galacta knight and others come close, but kirby just is the void of his dimension, making him powerful.

THINE SHALL NOT DARE TO GO IN DESPAIR IN FRONT OF THINE HE SHOW ALL HIS GRASP OF KINDNESS HE WILL BE A HERO OF ALL DREAMS AND A SLAYER OF NIGHTMARES and his name... IS KIRBY

Not gonna lie, I sort of cried during this bit.

*He’s having a mental breakdown*

I think that Void trying to be all forms of dark matter at once, as well as being similar to Kirby otherwise is further proof that the two sides of this universe are utterly one in the same, nothingness. What is light but the absence of dark? What is dark but the absence of light? Void is the nothingness that is both. A confused, shifting mass, that one day may find rest.

You have to respect Hal Laboratory They went all out for wave 3. They didn’t have to make a new song for free. But they did anyway. Because they know that it’s what the fans deserve

Void makes the best faces.

.... I LOVE THIS SO MUCH.... I can not stop watching this!

Kirby can be seen as the main representative of a species that is named after him, but kirby is actually sub-species of dark matter, it may not seem obvious at first but these 4 signs show: 1. Dark matter have "orbs" that orbit their main, circular body, using them as arms to fight and hold items, very similar to Kirby's small arms and legs. 2. Void when he is defeated has a small face like kirby's, which is explained as the more positive energy a dark matter gains the more "kirby" like they will become, such as with gooey. and the less positive energy the more "demonic" they will become. such as miracle matter. 3. In the anime, kirby was stated as an evil being under N.M.E.'s control, who rejected their control and became a star warrior. 4. The current shadow Kirby design is that of kirby, but with see through skin and a black-hole like texture inside him, in other words... a *void.* All of these facts lead me to believe that Kirby was once a dark matter but turned good..

The fact that Zero and Kirby, the most opposite things in existence, come from the same being is... Weird. They are like brothers

1:30 Arise! Oh Dark Lord of Despair... Crush the stars! Lay waste to care! Rise, and cover this land with sorrows... May your nightmarish symphony... An elegy most empty... *Bring about an end of all tomorrows!*

After watching this, I really wish this was the end of the Kirby series, not in a bad way, but because it was so good

My poor puffball ;_; He's having the worst existential crisis to date O_O

5:45 when it goes to this part and when void tilts and then when it starts to end it gives off a great big smile.. Saying "thank you" maybe

So, y'all know who Kirby is related to Void right? Well, if Kirby ended up like Void, what would Kirby do to the universe? What would he look like? Would Kirby and Void want the same goal? Would they be rivals? *Find out next time on **-Dragonball Z-** Kirby: Right Back at ya!*

not gonna lie, this made me shed more than a few tears this was beautifully made, friend, from beginning to end

Bro, the part when his face is becoming like Kirby and slowly turning to pink. And then.... *Explosions*

Why be *happy* , Why be _sad_ , When you can feel nothing at all? You’d feel less *crappy* And even less _bad_ ... But my true purpose, would it be my *_awakening call?_* *_-V ō į đ-_*

I want the next Kirby game to be a legitimate RPG. One where you can decide the fate of Pop Star and Dreamland, and the main character is void. As it says, "will the scrolls describe a destroyer of worlds, or an ally to the stars?" I think it would be super cool.

1:14 when I wake up, oblivious that it's Monday. 1:15 when my parents tell me to get ready for school

Kirby: exists Void: **visible confusion**

This visuals are so amazing

Void is unironicly my favourite villain in gaming. Even if it's more of a force of nature villain rather than an actual character what it represents for the whole Kirby series and it's lore Is genius if you know the full story

This is perhaps the 4th time I've rewatched this amazing sequence and I'm now just noticing the one frame of Kirb?! All in all, with the amount of work and detail that went into this, it's worth having a 5th rewatch..!

Fun fact, when Void is doing attacks referencing other bosses, the background changes. That's why there is a constant background color change in the animation. It copies what Void actually does. I love this tidbit a lot because it shows how powerful the Void Arc (being Dream Land to Star Allies) was.

What make this lore so dark is when the supreme of all supremes having a mental and emotional distress, crippling depression and existential crisis at the same time.

It may be an internet lie, but apparently the color pink/magenta "doesnt exist" This ties into the fact that void is basically nonexistant, this is made more clear with his japanese name "Nil" Can also tie in with kirby and gk too ig I cant remember who, but a dev in an article talking about the ksa artbook also hinted at void by calling him a "child who resembles various things because he is absolutely nothing" Idk i just love how subliminal and moralic this masterful final boss is Maybe one day people will stop calling him 03 and actually realize how geniusly designed and built up this final boss is, and how perfect of an end he is to the series

I kinda feel bad for void. It's been fed with negative influence for the first part of it's new existence but now Kirby and friends are battling with it using the friend hearts, and it just looks so confused.

0:48 that smile. The damned smile.

Welcome to WTAF Kirby: this episode, Void Termina! Aka probably a Kirby. Wtf Nintendo.

fun fact: this is the best song ever created and nobody can tell me otherwise

At the Void part, when Void calms down, he smiles of how he can be friends with Kirby again and not cause trouble. This kinda makes my heart sad a little.

It may be kirby It may be void The enemy of the side it takes will surely be destroyed Wether it brings joy, or wether it brings pain all depends on the state of it's brain *THE LORD OF THE STARS WILL SURELY RISE AGAIN*

I like how he goes from Void Termina, to Void Soul, to VOID. Its really cool overall! Nice job!

If Void Termina does come back a 4th time, let's not hope it becomes an embodiment of negativity... as Void Wrath. 😰

No one: Literally no one: Not a single soul: Void: 😀

A soul, born to this world but not of its own will, but forced, filled with negative energy that was given to it by the summoners, but…luckily a being of it’s pure opposite had come before it, even if it was to fight the lost soul, the being did so with his friends, igniting a spark within the soul, a spark of hope, of love, of happiness, of dreams of a spring breeze… even within its final moments it smiles, knowing thanks to the being and its friends, it’ll be reborn, resembling the being who had shown it the light, resembling the hero of dreamland, Kirby

i realy like that at 0:47 he turns to dark matter for a bit signifiyng (in my eyes) where my boi void termina/soul starts to lose it

How did you animate the stripe-thingys? They're really impressive

Void: "I will be a memory".. and then we have Kirby

After looking at the forgotten land soundtrack and not finding any green greens reference, i feel this is a goodbye to atleast the 2D KIRBY represented by the first song of the Game that started it all being represented more than ever in this Game, or maybe it's because is another dimension, idk

Mario: Don’t worry Kirby I’ll help you beat this thing. Kirby: POYO!!

Kirby : natural sound track Void: WILD AND SAD SOUND TRACK

2:26 Void looks so threatening, especially considering how it was just making silly facial expressions a few seconds ago. It's like it's reminding you that even if it's cute, it's still a major threat (just like kirby!).

Void Soul has got to be my all time favorite Kirby boss. Its chaotic and unpredictable, unstable, and sad. It just may be the root of a majority of the evil and good throughout the series. You've managed to capture all this in one of my favorite animations. Thank you.

I cry every time I hear this song Wonderful job adding to it

This really shows how the people you're around affects you kirby is growing up with friends and is treated well while void termina was used for power it make you feel sorry for void

I like how at 2:58 when Void is doing the Mirror Attack that Dark Mind does it flips on its side so it looks like Dark Mind.

Star allies was such a good game to end the era off with

The fact that Void may actually be another Kirby, but not one that wins with the power of friendship or have the strength to carry on. Void is a Kirby that was born alone in the darkness, no friends to support them. Their mind was driven to insanity because of sheer loneliness. Once Kirby faces them, they finally have a friend to play with, so they play as much as possible. For the first time in their life, they are having a blast, but all good things must come to an end. In their final moments moments, they give Kirby a smile. A real, genuine smile. Maybe... Just maybe... That smile might carry over to the next life.
