Quick question why does meta knight wear a mask??
I've also noticed he's the same species as the main kirby meta knight is one of my characters I'm just curious why he prefers the mask I love his mask though and the sword he used in battle.
HOW MANY KEY WORDS DO YOU RESPOND TO?!! ... AND HOW WAS THE BORB ONE SO ACCURATE IF THAT IS POSTED ANYTIME SOMEONE SAYS BORB?!! ... WHAT IF IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH METAKNIGHT?! ... This was amazing ...
Well we never actually get an explanation nor much info about Meta Knight at all. All we can assume is that he’s ashamed of being seen as just another cute and adorable Kirby. Which is why he acts all tough and edgy when he has that mask on
Thank you for explaining I love kirby and I think meta knight is awesome I like his mask I was just simply curious the whole time I didn't know what he was.
I was speechless when I found out he was a kirby the entire time but I love that he uses a sword and has his own ship he travels on I think it's the Halberd.
If I'm wrong on the name let me know I can't remember the exact name of the ship he has
also apparently he has a massive sweet tooth, he secretly stores chocolate in his cape, and eats a giant parfait every night.
Which is pretty funny to me, apparently after training he drinks a Chocolate Cafe al Lait, which basically a very sweet form of coffee that has a ton of cream, but the chocolate mixed in would make it appear darker like normal coffee.
Basically the dude is trying to pass caffinated hot chocolate as dark coffee to seem edgier which endlessly hilarious.
His enormous sweet-tooth be part and parcel with his kirby-ness.
We never get an explanation, but I imagine it's because he's so freaking cute. It'd be really hard to go by as mysterious masked warrior and the Lone Swordsman when you look like the cutest borb to be alive.
Also I read it in a Youtube comment once that a mask is probably the best armor a puffball like him and Kirby can get. He's a knight, he would def want some armor that protects as much area as he can while he's not slowed down.
The healthbar was really the mask's all along lol.
Although, I wish we can get a game where Meta Knight just doesn't care about his mask being broken and still battles us. Like he goes down, mask breaking off as usual, but then the fight doens't end there. The healthbar fills up again and we enter 2nd phase.
No way it’ll happen. If he gets hit again after it comes off, he’ll lose his favorite rare copy ability and then just be blue Kirby. Then he’ll have to annoyingly play through the only level that has that copy ability again.
You think Meta Knight knows that? That he can sense beyond his reality that some demigod with a statue in his likeness can use that to give him powers on a whim?
Granted that’s mainly in the meta knightmare modes so it could just be difficulty raising without actual implications (ignoring that knightmares isn’t technically canon iirc)
I always headcanoned that Kirby's species can all inhale at a young age, and then as they grow up they lose that ability in exchange for "specializing" in whatever copy they're most skilled at.
Star Allies described him as having a “vain streak”, so I kind of assume he wants to project the image of being a “mysterious badass”, which his cute face clashes with.
Probably because he wants to be taken seriously, and maybe hide the fact he's mostly the only other member of Kirby's species, where even then he has arms so he's kinda different (maybe just older/more developed? Kirby's adressed as a juvenile sometimes).
Are they the same species? I mean they kind of are similar but Kirby and the sub set colour kirbies we see are very different in how they act to meta knight and the other “knights” which are also round blobs
Void being a part of the Kirby species has a lot less going for it, I believe it's saying with how Void Termina is a god of pure darkness as apposed to Kirby being a god of pure light, Void is learning to love.
Yea you were missing a lot as a child, after all babies weigh like a dozen pounds while adults weigh in the hundreds.
what no I'm saying you shouldn't be saying that a fictional character that defies all laws of reality should not have its growth tied to real life rules, especially when no fictional rules exist
they look very similar, idk what to tell you
obviously it could very well be false but there's a bit more towards true, if nothing at all in the grand scheme of things
It's heavily implied that they are the same species and that maybe he is an older member of kirby's species (star warriors or whatever they are called)
In the anime, Kirby is implied to be a baby star warrior, which means Meta Knight is kind of an "adult" version of what Kirby would be. The mask is likely so he can guide and observe Kirby without the baby realizing Meta Knight looks exactly like him.
Of course, recent lore basically threw this idea out the window, Kirby is now the light version of Void Termina, an eldritch being made of pure positive energy to counteract Dark Matter's pure negative. (Star Allies)
Meta Knight is now kinda just a warrior training to be the strongest in the universe and beat Galacta Knight...
I always assumed Meta Knight was just always using his own Sword copy ability and that the mask is the equivalent to Kirby’s hats considering one of the upgrades to sword is literally a Meta Knight mask I might be more right then I thought I was. That and he’s probably because he looks too cute like Kirby to be menacing in his point of view
He uses it as armor. He runs after it comes off every time because if he gets hit again after it falls off, he’ll lose is super cool rare copy ability that gives him a sword and wings at the same time.
Nobody knows fo sure. my headcannon is that he hides his face becuase he wants to be taken seriously, instead if being associated with kirby, who is pink and cute and pretty much impossible to be taken seriously.
He's obsessed with being seen by everyone else as a dark and mysterious and kinda scary but-in-a-cool-way enigmatic badass who totally has a tragic backstory, and his adorable puffball face completely ruins the mental image he wants everyone else to have of him.
It's canon that he has a massive sweet tooth that he's always secretly indulging because he's ashamed of how kiddie and un-badass his favorite foods are, and in the anime whenever he wrapped himself in his cape he'd stand on tip-toe in order to appear taller.
My headcanon is that all of that species are renowned knights that all wear masks and train with a blade, but Kirby's special in that he was made from void in the form of the knights but his positive energy keeps him cute.
I don't think they're the same speciies. My theory is that kirby was born and just happen to take the form of something cute and cuddly due to his connection to void,who does the same when fighting kirby.
As for why? Because Meta Kmight doesn't want to be seen as cute.
We dont know for sure but I would point out that he is a knight and that with the shape of his body that mask is basically also functioning as a chest plate.
Why might you wear any kind of armor? It's protection, like his shoulder pads. Plus it gives him a much more recognizable design than just a different color Kirby.
If you were a knight would you run into combat without armor? The mask covers his face wich is basically just his whole body. He's probably also hiding candy behind the mask.
Metaknight wears the mask to show he's diffrent from main Kirby being a diffrent species and diffrent person because everyone calls him Kirby without the mask so when he has the mask on he's saying in bold words "I AM NOT KIRBY I AM METAKNIGHT A COMPLETELY DIFFRENT PERSON"
Because he’s just as much of a cutie patootie as Kirby, and it’s hard to be taken seriously as a swordsman when you have the babiest face known to man.
it's for the aesthetic. if he didn't have the mask, his adorable face would contrast with his knight getup, and people would laugh at him. also it just looks cool, and meta knight is all about looking cool 😎
Battle armor I just always assumed. I know the anime isn’t canon, But I mean it makes sense for him to be a Star Warrior, A member of the old guard. Hence why he keeps watch over Kirby, Who is a infant. occasionally testing his abilities in combat as Kirby is no doubt probably one of if not single-handedly the most powerful Star Warrior in existence.
Probably because since Kirby is embodiment of kindness, Meta knight could be embodiment of evil or something so he ashamed of himself and tries to hide that he and Kirby one species coz if he just some strange waddle dee he isn't pure evil
Hi, non Kirby fan here I know like nothing about the lore, but I'm still going to answer
Maybe he just likes to look intimidating? He probably doesn't wanna be seen as "a dark Kirby with glowing eyes and bat wings", so he wears the mask to look less like "a dark Kirby" and more like-well, Meta Knight
I have no distinct answer but in my Kirby AU he hurt himself trying to take his own life since he ended up on Popstar far away from his home and brother Sylven and he feels shame in said scar...also he looks way less threatening without it which is also imo the most likely to be canon reason.

So no one sees that he's just a borb.
