#[SPOILERS] Star-Crossed World
1 messages · Page 5 of 1
||yea i think its stariies cuz of the pupil having the same symbol as the starries, but next to that starties and elfilis are not the same species.||
||also wondering if Core is normally supposed to be like that location-wise (and the Elfilin split fucked things up for Elfilis) or if it can be in different places regardless||
||I mean yeah, not sure how later part is related||
||yeah its so weird that since star allies, every game including that one after has it ingame.||
||I'm saying because it consumed them (and crystal floors have that pattern)||
||old comparison thing||
||im just so confused why chaos/fecto didnt have one. even after gaining the genwel spear it did gain eyebally stuff but not that pattern.||
||eye is weird yeah, it is Starry-like though and it only really consumed them, but like Elfilis's doesn't really have an animal-like one?||
||though Fecto Elfilis's also contains Elfilin obviously, so could partially be another split thing....||
||i feel like the games are building towards something with these specific orbs, but i cant figure out what.||
||also how dare they not make a figure for phase 3😭||
u cant just put that in the game and not eleborate
||and WHY the galacta knight pink crystal???||
||I wonder what genwel would look like without having consumed the starries? i think just a gray version of fecto. just gotta take away all the four pointed star patterns and crystal stuff.||
||seems to be more reddish/pink||
||but with them now tying Neichel and the Lor starcutter together as one and the same i think its unpridictable to know where theyre going with this.||
||oh yeah also, i thought that hyness was an ancient? but theres a debate about if the ancients where humans or not.||
||can already basically see the Larva form inside the meteor, and when it breaks out it's pinkish (and the part of it used to make the Galactals was also pink)||
||ancients aren't a single species/group||
also this might be a reach but
||GK is ancient too but he's not either of those, nor is Yggy (ancient tree); also even for Jambastion-Halcandra-new world which seem to be related, they have differences in things like language and probably can't be fully considered the same 'group' anyway||
||here's the Mast texture, almost certainly based on it||
||yeah and did the ancient come up woth the symbol cuz they saw the starries first, or are the starries ancients/creations the ancient made once they arived on halcandra. also the ship orb says halcandra on the side so we know they went from forgotten land to there.||
||It says Halcandra???||
yes
||I was not here for this||
||I doubt they made the Starries (also the New World does not have Halcandra text on it)||
||doesn't thar say THE WONDERIA NEW WORLD TYPE-0||
||The Spaceship; New World; Type-0||
wait what then where did i read halcandra
Idk
||but yeah they definitely went to (places like) Halcandra anyway||
||Jambastion also has similarities in language, but they aren't exact||
||love my ファルダ and ハルダ (new world and Jambastion for 'heart', respectively)||
oh i saw it on twitter but it was a mistake sorryyy
||well we know the ship that left IS what became the lor starcutter||
this cracks me up now knowing what we know now
tbh ||don't think she will||
ehh idk man
it might have been referring to the kirby species in this context
alternatively it's possible kumazaki is good at making shit up and fitting it in
||remember hyness was trying to create a good void until he found the jamba heart and it drove him mad||
||bored so another comparison thing to have for later (not gonna include the rest of Chaos Elfilis shenanigans on here, like it changes the look too much for most of those anyway)||
dang I wonder who translated that interview
||perhaps the starries wanted a good void version too||
||that's assuming kumazaki actually planned 7 years in advance instead of making this up retroactively||
||it's less to debunk any connection and more to debunk a specific interpretation of a connection||
but then ||what does that make fecto, who has pretty much no connection and yet is genwel's brother||
||I mean they also use 祈り just like the song does anyway (different line but very close by)||
||genwel has to be a member of elfilis's species and the void lines have to mean something else entirely||
especially since ABV didn't have them at all
when was that first part said
||yeah, all that was said is he originally wanted to worship it peacefully||
||i mean she kinda did. as lor. not sure if its literaly her uploaded or a copy of her.||
implied heavily
||nothing about straight-up bringing it back iirc||
the most reasonable interpretation is that originally he was trying to create a good version of void
no this is a common misconception
kumazaki even confirmed hyness always had a wicked heart
yeah
doesnt the game say him finding the jamba heart drove him muts
ohhh is this complete
more like nuts-er
doesnt the ingame dialogue in update 4 go against this
think it's a bit of both
Extensions of SCW songs in here
like really hard
it just made it worse
idk man if you don't remember then don't ask me because I don't remember either
update 4 mages dialogue not basegame hyness dialogue
he was originally decently good, but always had wicked heart in him, and Jamba Heart made it worse and apparent probably
how so
probably similar to sectonia
and probably similar to haltmann
and honestly probably similar to fecto elfilis after being trapped for ages
you know these games all have pretty similar stories when you think about it
do you mean the mages
yeah
but also the mages's backstories
Mages thing was already implied base game
mages backstory is just that hyness saved her, that doesn't mean anything though
we don't know the reasons for him to do that
once again the games imply haltmann and sectonia weren't evil
until dark meta knight/the portal accident and star dream occured
not really, the games only say they turned even worse
i mean haltmann still like took materials from random planets
they're most likely abandoned but still
sectonia we know very little we just know she got worse
and sectonia was still a ruler i think and we all know every ruler is inherently evil /j
king dedede in rtdl onwards
yeah dedede is the most evil kirby character
more importantly she's still like a parasite
anyway other than ig dedede and some other getting possessed to turn evil like adeleine too, most main kirby villains are said to have gone madder due to some events but it's never explained like what they were like before
the implication is usually meant to be they weren't already that way anyways
but yeah it's funny that (final boss) ||elfilis brother still haven't memorized his name has a funny orb around his antlers because ig why not??? I found that so funny ~~is that baby galacta knight
~~||
remember the theory that magolor only went bad and tried to steal the master crown because of it influencing him from a distance or something
it feels like what's going on here is a case of "not confirmed so therefore it's 100% false"
yeah I always found this funny 😭
||now imagining a baby galacta knight and it's hilarious||
and the series is capable of writing villains who are bad on their own (magolor, dl1 dedede, the dark matter species, elfilis, etc)
yeah
and hyness
i just think that with sectonia/hyness/haltmann/arguably the master crown too that they weren't bad from the outset
I feel we had a similar convo before, and once again that is not what anyone is saying/the impression I'm getting
the world around them corrupted them
that's because I think it's an issue with the base generally at this point
these people would probably say (undertale spoilers) ||Flowey was still evil when he was Asriel in the past||
||I think it's its Core, sort of like how Elfilis has one, but in different spot? but will have to wait until guidebook to find out probably||
the thing is, when you present things like this that aren't confirmed, it's also hard to have discussions about people's personal theories
fair enough
but i feel like people ignore the vibe a story is going for
like imo not everything needs to be stated
||yeah but what is odd though is that for elfilis ig that was their "true form" but for elfilis brother that exists alongside their humanoid form so???????????||
if the guidebook says ||it has no relation to void|| we're cooked
||do wonder if Elfilin split fucked with something and if they're always supposed to be there?||
Be careful what you wish for. I know Bandai Namco can and will sell things for 7,650 JPY or 8,760 JPY because of goroawase
just because you interpret something one way doesn't mean that's factually said about a story. the issue is you saying "oh sectonia was never evil" when that is not ever confirmed and up to interpretation. the "vibe" you get may not be the vibe everyone else gets. this series as a whole likes leaving gaps and letting people interpret the stories their own way and there's no correct or incorrect way of doing it as long as it doesn't contradict confirmed facts
again, i see this and i see your point
but at the same time
it feels like borderline victim blaming sometimes
basically saying they were already evil and that they were just less sane
why is sectonia's story treated tragically if she was already a jenova ff7-esque monster from the start
one way to help is simply presenting it like
"from my view sectonia was not evil originally"
rather than
"sectonia was never evil"
the nuance matters
ok so i can kind of see the argument for hyness that he was an antivillain or at the very least had some care for those around himand was made insane and "HAPPYBIRTHDAYDARKLORD" and a sexist by the sheer darkness in the jamba heart
but like
i believe that haltmann, and sectonia weren't evil originally because of the way the game presents their stories
you're meant to feel bad for them and what happened, but if haltmann was already exterminating savages and sectonia was already executing people and being a tyrant, why should i feel bad that star dream deleted haltmann's memories or that some darkness in the mirror (which i believe to be DMK due to him being the only thing shown in the mirror by the game) gave sectonia body dysmorphia
||I should make a cover of Neichel’s last song should I?||
that's why I believe haltmann and sectonia were not originally evil
Go for it if you wanna
does this make sense
it's similar with hyness, we don't know what he was like before, but if he was already full maniac mode before the jamba heart, why should I want to save him? Why wouldn't I send him to his doom?
||WAIT A MINUTE||
This means that in my opinion, pre jamba heart hyness was at worst anti-villainous/originally believed that void termina would create a new paradise world
||Is the first part of Prescient stirring fa-lu-wa-a song Morse code?!||
why does that song name sound like the patriots from metal gear
||fa lu wa a||
||la li lu le lo||
literally all I could think of seeing this out of context
LOL
I do wish we knew more about Sectonia and Taranza's past
Especially since backgrounds of most characters afterwards are more clearly defined
Maybe that's gonna be a job for another game later 😔
||https://youtu.be/BGQMEtGM9Zo 0:02 to 0:10 must be something in morse code||
taranza prologue…
its ok kumazaki will put random stuff referencing them in every game 🙏
Beat ultimate cup z ex on my first try lol
This is literally what happens so far 😭
eventually they’re gonna spill on who sectonia was before she saw the mirror they left that wide open already
A game will have NOTHING to do with floralia or popstar in general but. Taranza crumbs are here
||fucking tkcdx track title in UCZEX||
magolor prologue: oh nooo im in hell oh noo the errors of my ways
taranza prologue:
Im telling you. This is arguably the biggest unresolved thing so far cuz like
We know the rules. Anyone who looked in the mirror gets a shadow/dark counterpart
Where is shadow sectonia.
also dead
Taranza prologue when he has to survive 3 minutes in cabbage cavern’s water segments. (The blippers are coming) 
Would be even better if she was a counterpart of a pre-transformation self
it would be funny if she used the bodysnatching on it
taranza prologue where if you fail the whimsical goldilocks puzzle he cries
i speculated this yesterday
Because DMK suggests that shadow counterparts are imperfect and only catch a person at a certain point in time
(DMK still has old sword design)
theres someone i know who has a cool oc that’s like that
the dimension mirror had no more bad thoughts after dark mind was defeated, so there was no mirror sectonia, but regular sectonia fed it more bad thoughts, which was enough to let shadow dedede appear in dededetour
sectonia doesnt have an awesome evil clone because it would be too cool
Wouldn't it mean that her evil thoughts would be enough to make her own counterpart too 
Either way imo the fact that this was never addressed is omega suspicious
Like Kumazaki usually ponders such possibilities but here's just. Silent
Not even Clash explored this
Yk I never thought of that detail implying anything about the nature of shadow clones. Always thought the sword having 3 prongs was just a cute nod to that era of Kirby. Did it also have the old design in tdx? 
We got Shadow Taranza at least
A boyfailure x1000
(i hope it's a skin/costume in air riders)
maybe
Dark Taranza better be in (if Taranza gets in), love his look
first we gotta get taranza in air riders at all
In TDX it wouldnt matter because during that era MK still had old sword design
the Sectonia-esque vibes
SA was the first game with the new sword design
She really made him worse in spirit
Im fairly confident he will appear
If he wont at least we will have memes
||I still think there’s Morse code in Prescient Stirring Fa-lu-wa-a Song… I’m i wrong?||

I mean if fucking kine can show up as cameo. Im sure spooder has a chance
again though, if sectonia was already evil from the outset, why does the game portray this as sympathetic
no it was a reskin galaxia in that game
Because these games have good writing and give depth even to villains?
actually no, looking back yea there is still a distinction
Metaknight’s sword wasn’t the flagship era three prongs at that point so even then dmk’s sword if is still clearly the old one
That is really good attention to detail on hal’s end
I mean Haltmann portrayed as sympathetic but i doubt he was a good person before lol
but to me me it's taking her depths away for "she was always just like this"
i didn't even say that
amazing mirror kinda implies that everyone has bad thoughts, even kirby, and those can all gather into the mirror and in most cases create the mirror clones
wow nvm
Not arguing that Sectonia was evil per say we just don't know much about her past in the first place
Yeah
Frankly only cool lore Flagship added
but one person's being enough to make the mirror evil again
true lol
would imply that they are, in fact, evil from the outset
I really like the idea that even a character like Kirby is not a saint
just enough to make shadow dedede
but only after she stared at it for ages
and turn sectonia insane and give dmk more power and-
not enough to make her own mirror counterpart
||Besides I’m not good at translating Morse code sadly||
for whatever reason
Shadow kirby not being evil because kirby is pure of heart or something is one thing, but dudes still a trickster and thats really cute.
Cant wait for sectonia to return in the next game for some reason.
or maybe it did
i don't think there's any room for a sectonia mirror clone to have existed in the story
basically i'd be more willing to believe DMK isn't responsible if THIS was mirror sectonia
if dededetour sectonia was meant to be mirror sectonia then i'd probably argue that was responsible rather than assuming it was dmk
Maybe, maybe taranza will finally find closure hopefully.
Also on a side note I do find it really interesting for how both PR and TDX’s stories deal with the loss of someone close, but susie isn’t really treated like she’s in grieving. But every prominent taranza appearance feels like they mention or parallel his loss in some way, especially star allies with its descriptions say what you want about fans overplaying his grief but its kinda easy to do that when its almost always brought up
i still don't know why people think it COULD even be dmk
why would DMK be responsible in general yeah lmao
(final boss)
kumazaki said it was the mirror's power, and there's literally never been any implication dark meta knight could "corrupt" anyone or ahytbing
Because
Mirror problem, dmk in mirror
Mirror=dmk, problem=dmk
the only real reason i can think of for why the theory exists is because dark meta knight was just in the mirror world, he was just there
process of elimination imo
Dimension Mirror's just been corrupted since AM, DMK didn't cause it in that game (and was born from it even just like Shadow Kirby), and obviously he didn't cause it in TKCD with the distorted black Dimension Mirror
by virtue of there being nothing else left
also the game doesn't really allude to any alternatives
and TKCD has it do the exact same thing to Taranza
amazing mirror implies that it was something in the mirror more than the mirror just being evil
and neither dark mind nor a mirror sectonia appear in the game
but dmk does
therefore he's genuinely the most likely target
I mean, Shadow Kirby also exists, if we want to assume it's just from them still existing in general
but either way neither is seen in TKCD
i mean the black dimension mirror could be d-mind/dark mind's doing in of itself?
no it can not
but even then the corrupt clash mirror is pretty distinctly not the original
seems like an evil knockoff of it almost
i mean dmk was also born of the mirror's power
D-Mind was created from Taranza's fucking around with the distorted black Dimension Mirror, and his evil thoughts gathering within it (and is also partially from what Dark Taranza imagined as the strongest warrior)
and it's implied that taranza was being messed with by his own reflection?
no?
Dark Taranza was also created by him fucking around with the mirror
it's a reflection of the darkness in his heart like literally every other Dimension Mirror-made counterpart
Shadow Kirby also has it stated, DMK also has it stated, Shadow Dedede is heavily implied with the pause screen
meanwhile this specific part is mentioned on TKCD site post
i mean after it was created
also it's literally called the distorted black Dimension Mirror. can't get any more specific than that
it's probably just even more corrupted
iirc no
I wonder what would happen if the dark mirror and dimensional mirror were at the same place at the same time. I wonder if anything were to happen if you put them infront of eachother too
it was just called the black mirror
probably not? seems like it was literally just born when the fight started
ingame, Kuma used full name in interview
(it also uses DimensionMirror internally iirc)
elimination of who?
the other candidates
whwo
also if the mirror was inherently evil why did we bother saving the mirror world
if it's said to be the dimension mirror why are there candidates
(translation from https://www.tumblr.com/syzekrom/683692319792414720/)
hypothetical shadow sectonia and dark mind
it was fine until evil thoughts gathered into the mirror
that power created them
Moral of the story, interview and online post lore matters but my goodness is it bad that its so inaccessible
btw if anyone is curious starpunch from wikirby translated all figure descriptions of SCW from japanese || https://wikirby.com/wiki/User:StarPunch/Figures_(Japanese) ||
it originally granted wishes
hypothetical shdow sectonia, dark mind, dmk
dark mind is basically just the manifestation of the evil in the dimension mirror, so that would basically be the same candidate as the mirror itself
shadow sectonia doesn't exist as far as we know
ehh dark mind is probably meant to be a little more than that
the eye of dark mind, anyways
specifically evil minds gathered within the mirror
that's his whole backstory
they just kinda became an eyeball guy
wonder who that could include
except in kirby clash where he became an eyeball dedede
why does the eye not change but everything else can change/be amorphous
well he also has the mask
||do wonder why they wrote アーレス like that, it's not a common spelling of Ares is it? do wonder if there's more to that||
and the whole darker color scheme
and the laser and star attacks
and the horns
if you're implying zero is the reason he looks like an eyeball, 1. i don't see why zero would've been near the dimension mirror, 2. i don't know if dark mind's appearance would be inspired by who fed the mirror the evil thoughts, and 3. i doubt even more zero would've interacted with the black mirror in the dream kingdom
think could've interacted technically, but it's probably something more general anyway
probably would've been from multiple people for main world one, and TKCD one we know is from Taranza
they're both in the sky
also imo d mind is the originald dark mind just in a new form and given new life by taranza or dark taranza
in your opinion
||actually I guess it was probably so it'd share the ending with アンタレス better||
it'd be really pointless if it was just a second one that exists i guess
like cmon bro
as far as we know that's literally every dream kingdom character except magolor though?
idk dark mind feels like a third exception
and again that's just your opinion
rather than the norm
yes
and i'm tired of being discredited because you have the popular opinions
not the facts
the popular opinions
i have not given my opinions
yes you have
my opinion is that this convo is getting too toxic and that i'm gonna stop
honestly i dont even think that kirby is pure of heart, its just kirby is too young and innocent to have truly "evil" counterpart
tho novels do run with "pure of heart" thing and tbh i dont like it as much (this is how they justify why he never gets possessed)
think they did do some different things with those? at least in the older ones (like with the whole 'thinking about favorite thing' thing with the Malice Stone instead of it being something like that)
forget how Shadow Kirby was handled already lol
||Beating ZEX With Base Sword, wish me luck||
ah right similarly to the games, though they don't straight-up say Kirby's pure in relation to that I think, just that he doesn't really have an evil side
i tried doing regular ultimate cup z with base sword with no + star once
safe to say it did not go well
i still haven't had time to replay scw
i mean i have had it but i keep doing other things instead
||0 power upgrades? Hoo buddy, good luck||
if you talk to the wise waddle dee enough you can get a new present code
||meteorlegend||
sure that was known but still cool
bruh why do we have to spoiler tag stuff in the spoiler chat?
Ain't that the point of having a separate spoiler and no spoiler chat?
because people may stumble upon spoilers while using search function
I mean, their fault honestly
well people here are being courteous regardless
if you enter the thread called SPOILERS not expecting to be spoiled then at that point that's on you really
that's not it
search would work across entire server lol
so even if they werent looking at this thread they may stumble upon spoilers unknowingly
anyways ||Failboat brought up a good idea, crystal shards can fight Dark Matter and starries can seal evil. They may be related||
true ig
discord does have its problems
you know everyone always posted the ||Lor's Mast but i never relaized the four point star behind the vortexes...||
||at this rate they could've just reused rtdx model of lor for this game and just palette and texture swap it so it looks older and decrepit with how un-subtle this all is 😭 ||
a new mainstream-ish kirby lore video has hit the fandom
i will have to watch it
and JUDGE IT
i havent watched it yet im not home rn
im mildly curious
Kirby and the Forgotten Land has finally received a Switch 2 Edition! With it comes many new lore reveals for the series, so I've decided to play through the entire expansion to find all of the secret hidden lore secrets, and the crazy part is, I don't think I've even scratched the surface of the Kirby lore drops...
#cdotkom #kirby #switch2
B...
at the very least the title is accurate
thats 1 point
So was it ever said that this Taranza was og Taranza or not
but this guy also made a kirby = void video once like a year and a half ago so i will have to see the rest
beause like
well title iS accurate
why is he trying to ressurect Sectonia lmao
yeah
actually well
novels arent CANON but
in the novels its been stated its a different taranza
and kirby is like wtf why are u evil again
yeah but i need to hear it from Kumazaki
why is there potentially 2 taranza with both dead wife
why is everyone talking about taranza
other than what klu said, this is also because people may come here and not beaten everything. like, there are different kind of spoilers, and by tagging and marking what the spoiler is about, people can know what to click and what not to click
because taranza is awesome
ynot

nah its just being treated as new lore dropped and idk the lore which makes me upset
tell me
Someone coming in wanting tips for the story final boss but not wanting to know about ZEX stuff yet, for an easy example
||his boss theme from team kirby clash deluxe got used in ultimate cup z ex and it got a title for the first time||
now it makes sense
thanks
this thread has basically just turned into "#kirby-kingdom but you can also discuss scw stuff which a lot of people will be doing because it's new"
There's only 2 series that make me wanna dig into the lore like a diglet using a z-move, and that's Kirby and Deltarune
Kirby and DR have a very big factor to them
extensiveness
their lore has been researched and learned over years
and with the slow release of DR it gives us a very unique phenomena where we essentially slowly dig through everything bit by bit as it opens up
so when new lore drops it makes you want to dig deep n search for the right patterns
another factor is reliability
low amount or lack of inconsistencies
like learning lore in Mario is basically pointless for example
LoZ lore gets confusing and afaik has holes
Kirby on the other hand is as simple as it is complex
balancing an intersting intervining lore with a simple presentation that makes sense when you dig through it
https://fixupx.com/kirbydiscovery/status/1962533696579494291?s=46 why does he say it like that lmao
You can actually trigger the alternate cutscenes without Elfilin at any time by holding Y while selecting them in the theater!

Hi, my Deedly Dees go up to song number ||150||, and it finishes at what seems to be the final one from what I’ve read (||NEICHEL’s incomplete song thingy||). Are there supposed to be more songs than that? (that would come before)
I don't think so
Wow, I wonder who this person that was tagged!
… wait
HUH
Wait I didn’t even noticed I got tagged in this tweet
I thought this was Morpho knight correction tweet
My Twitter account exposed 😭 😭 😭 😭
Doxxed?????????
YUKKURI TWITTER DOXXED 😭 😭 😭 😭
The truth is finally revealed...
My friend ran that account (found out like 2 days ago) and they’ve been posting stuff that I was providing and I didn’t even know that was their account and they didn’t even know I had Twitter
Yeah lol I forgot about it tbh
For a longest time I had my account connected to my old Disney account that used to be my Kirby account
And I made a new account due to someone getting salty and doxxing me
the flower king's truck cannot be killed
My bad…
Hi Manager Magolor—random thing but I saw a message where you said you were having your mom listen to the soundtrack
That’s actually so sweet; I too made my mom listen to the OST and play the base game, she loved it ^ω^
She’s super casual about games, barely plays any and all, but still (she now even has cute Kirby plushies to sleep with hehe)
Peak 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥
yeee :D
and well thx I was confused from reading people’s messages about missing songs but if ||150|| is the highest number then my OCD can be put to rest
I’m going to ask her if she could play ||unfinished song|| and Twinkling Star Shower on her piano later today
ooo that’s so awesome!
I just hopped on the server for info about ||unfinished song|| because I was curious if that was the one people found hidden stuff in (such as ||morse code|| I was too lazy to decipher); there seems to be more before this one!
DELUXXED?
Magolor doxxed

Yes
and Elfilis is only referred to as they
so uh
did Elfilin take the gender identity in the divorce?
elfilis is just woke like that
(for all intents and purpose this is a jokey statement)
||i do think its funny how genwel is very obviously he/him while elfilis is still referred to with they/them pronouns. non-binary lord of chaos amirite||
Elfilin sued his other half - Elfilis and won the gender identity and orientation in the divorce, leaving Elfilis with goop
Imagine being so evil that that could happen
My bored deltarune idea (scw final boss): ||Kris and Elfilis are alike, referred to as they/them. They have a small thing inside of them that is able to be seperated and has a different personality than them (Soul [us]/Elfilin). They have an older brother who arrives later on in the story (Asriel/Meteoneflilis)||
Some people want some spoilers and may not want others - for example, something past their current progress. The proper courtesy in that regard is to mark what you're spoiling so people know if they want to click on it or not.
The thread has to be created as a containment area so that spoilers do not permeate other channels and subsequently annoy people who have not had the chance to play the new expansion yet, but it's equally important to respect people who want to say something but may not have gotten as far as others have.
wouldn't it be easier to make a locked temporary channel that you can access when you're ready for the spoilers?
it'd get by the search issue too
as in, click on title, get access to spoiler channel that lets you see the latest spoilers
considering we can get cool ahh pictures next to our names with titles alone I doubt it'd be hard to make, no?
Not everyone's privy to such functionality, mind, but in any case that'd be something to suggest to the staff more than anything else
I'm not one of them, though I'm offering my perspective based on previous mod experience in other servers
i mean it is a basic thing you can do without bots if I remember correctly
the bot part would only need to give you a title after clicking on an emoji
something we already have
ig ill suggest it
One thing to keep in mind, though
We had three layers of chat for this game
One is now closed because the time period has passed, but
that third layer was for specific spoilers about the final boss and everything past it for the first week of release
make one that is the ultimate spoilers one. Don't wanna see spoilers? Remove the title via bot. Should be easy enough
(and anything that leaked ahead of the release)
we wouldn't have to make giant messages covered in spoiler tags just to discuss lore
its relatively easy with pc but when you're on phone it is a pain
Look, I'm not the one running the server, but I will say, I think enforcing this sort of spoiler courtesy is good IMO
And I don't disagree
because far too often, people are not respectful of that in other servers
all im proposing is a true spoiler thread
I just want a thread when you can speak spoilers freely. One you can close access to whenever you want so you don't get spoiled for an upcoming game.
I get what you're saying. Something like an opt-in spoiler role that grants access to a specific channel or thread
But the thing is, the spoiler policy does eventually wear off
it bypasses the search so you don't get spoiled there either
but then you can use it next time again and again
no need to really remove it
this is something we have done in the past and might do again in the future
For most games over here that receive spoiler policy, that usually happens in the span of a month
I think it will be beneficial for easier discussion
its actually a bit of a pain trying to find an important message only for all of them to be covered in tags
Kirby Air Riders could be the next candidate for an opt-in spoiler role, maybe
it's just we've been using forums and threads for so long and you can't lock threads behind roles sadly
Ah, figures it would be a thread issue
well, like I suggested, make the ultimate spoiler thread Z
LMAO
channel*
That is a great channel name
Just lock it and unlock it whenever there's a new game coming
will make things way easier
we still haven't decided on this but we'll see what we do in the future
unlock, ping a day before to tell anyone who doesn't want spoilers to leave, open it, have fun
Do forum channels get locked behind roles?
channels should be able to get locked
you can lock forum behind roles yea
Because if they do, maybe just contain future spoiler threads there
exactly
That's my suggestion, at least
it would solve the issue with the tags
And hopefully keep them out of the search bar for anyone who's not opted into the role
if you have more suggestions for this btw then we have a feedback thread in #1009133424575000697
I would appreciate if all the important lore posts didn't look like a bloody SCP page
Bruh
thanks
Whoops.
it was very funny
time to go hacker mode and change all the channels to D D D
April Fool's I take it
can we talk about how ||the purple rifts in the skies never really meant anything||
btw can I make a suggestion in pms?
ye
so anyways I started crystallising
Though, even if there's a specific "talk spoilers entirely freely" channel or forum or whatever, there's still the "it'll show up in search results whether your want it to or not " problem
you can always send a modmail too
actually. wait. maybe not. that might not get tagged.

do we think ||the starries are associated with galacta knight or is it pure cope||
||The sky distortions from the Starries? I was thinking that was just a side effect of the crystals and their power affecting the localised space||
being spoiled on the 100% reward is different from like, level 2 details
lol
||Figures suggest that the Starries were the ones that sealed him away||
||i never expected them to mean anything tbh. i just thought they were a cool visual||
why does it show nothing for me
||i feel like people are confusing the starries sealing genwel with them sealing galacta knight||
||the ancients were the ones who sealed galacta knight away||
you could have it locked behind a role and put the role in onboarding
i pmd you, i'd like to discuss something as I mentioned
At minimum ||the parallels feel intentional, even if it's not literal||
||It's a specific figure description that alludes to it, I just forget which one.||
||It's the one you get for getting every starry||
||It talks about them sealing away a danger that could threaten the whole galaxy but that's just a way of eluding to meteonelfilis without mentioning him bc it could still be a spoiler at that point||
I do believe I've seen people say the word choice is even more obviously related in Japanese
Hold on a moment, there should be a link
Can I get a source
Not trying to be smug or anything i wanna see what they're reading
||Though I'm still pretty sure Hyness outright says his people were the ones who sealed galacta knight||
||Unless I'm remembering that wrong||
||Alluding to the strongest warrior with the wording, I believe||
Ah yeah, here we are
||Where did they come from, and where are they going? Starries are full of mysteries. Also called children of the stars, they're spirits born from gems who normally soar the universe's skies and innocently play. It's said that, once upon a time, they even succeeded in crystallizing and sealing away the strongest enemy, who threatened to destroy the galaxy.||
||oh yeah huh it's "Lord" & not king or smth lol||
one weird thing a friend brought up is
||the children of the stars part in VT song||
This one really helps my theory that ||Meteonelfilis was the reason the ancients evacuated the forgotten land||
||He thought the quote in the VT description would suggest they are void worshippers which wouldn't make sense. I suggested that the song is mocking the starries, saying that they should pray on and their screams will be the preformance for the lord||
But also adds even more questions about ||sunken islands||
I still don't have a concrete answer on what that's all about
It's just sort of a thing that happened
Probably just to explain why ||the world map looks the way that it does||
||Since these are the science ancients we're talking about I'm still heavily banking on them destroying their planet through excessive industrilization||
||I gotta check where it specifically mentions that the meteors are what's sinking the islands||
||Every corner of the forgotten land is industrialized, even the places that really shouldn't be||
||You know real life world geography is not like this, it's a videogamey thing to make such a world - and yet, as Kirby always does, they must explain how it became that way somewhere||
wonder if there's any relation there to hwc
||Haltmann Works was founded long after the ancients' extinction||
Its really ironic that ||the Elfilis meteor arrival ended up way way worse than the Genwel one. One destroyed continents and killed tons of animals, and one, Kirby was there for.||😂
#1408842700488441949 message ||Not really the fault of the ancients that their planet's land got decimated.||
AH
||So maybe Elfilis was mistaken for that meteor? Or maybe they were also a meteor||
If you really still want to blame them for something, it can be shiverstar or using the tree crown
Yeah, it's all ||Elfilis' doing||
(Final boss) ||Elfilin said he was sealed in one when he was Elfilis||
||Okay then that just straight up answers my question||
||Yeah I remember now, that's why elfilin could hear the starries in the first place||
Or at least ||questioned if/implied maybe he had been||
Is the implication that|| Elfilis got sealed A TON of times, and the successful invasion was due to starries finally missing one?||
||I think the implication is very clear with him able to hear Starries when Kirby couldn't and felt a familiar warmth.||
When it comes to "ancients" ||who's to say they went extinct? The term has always been used more generically to just mean "people a long time ago". Their descendants could easily be all over the galaxy.||
||Looks at adeleine and magolor||
Ah I think I found it here in this forwarded reply ||(The evil meteor's translated description)||.
Hrm, so I guess someone here misunderstood something about ||when the meteors sunk islands. If the meteors have been striking during the people's time, we'd have noticed destruction and a greater sense of urgency... But no, the sunken islands were ancient...||
Which I think is the case considering ||Adeline||
Magolor is definitely not an ancient.
He just knows a lot about them because of his hyperfixation. /hj
okay nevermind apparently this is mostly just a regular playthrough LOL
What about them?
Honestly though, my opinion on "the ancients" is more that just literally everyone is descended from them (because everyone who is alive can trace their lineage back to ancient times) rather than it being some special thing
No one is thinking ||Mago is ancient with his lifetime. But the idea the cat ears are inherited from one of the ancient races could still be right? Because they lack stripes, does not mean they have no similarity.||
Magolor specifically resembles one of the shiver star lab experiments
alternatively (image from #kirby-kingdom pins)
Jumpscared by my own shitpost lol
You mean the black kitty cat? I never thought of that. It would be a really wild twist!
There are some theories that why ||Eflilis even has a compassionate side is that they fully absorbed the Starries of their own meteor, and it later formed Elfilin.
We see a more unstable Starry fusion allows them to escape with Meteon and Lord of Chaos fight. Elfilin also implies he wants to change Meteon in post-game dialogue and make him a Dream Friend (aka those from Star Allies) in Japanese.||
family ❤️
||I find it really interesting to think that Elfilin didn’t always exist as a part of Elfilis because Meteonelfilis very much does not have any trace of an Elfilin inside of him||
||Before they separated Elfilin was the part of Elfilis that kept themselves controlled and in check||
Though imagining what that would be like is good fan art/fic material
||Elfilin having a galaxy for eyes could also be tied to him being part starry||
I kinda thought Elfilin escaped because he was part of Elfilis that was so cognitively dissonate from the rest that even Elfilis wants to get away from Elfilis. Also a mental difference is a psychic creature is bound to turn physical.
Yeah, ||Elfilin is also born from the warp experiment incident. Elfilis having compassion is already a fluke, and it being separated out because they got captured is even more improbable. Elfilin is a very unique case and there might be no one like him ever.||
I feel like either would need some ||crystals on them in order to believe they ate starries. I started believing they got their mammal look from eating animals when he first arrived though, we can kinda figure what a "blank" Elfilis looks like with the similarities between Gen and Elf||
||Kinda sad though, I really hoped to see a meteonelfilin come out of the final boss ||
||Could Fecto Forgo have taken control of Leon’s soul from the moment they took over him, thus regaining their more orderly and cognitive side? Meaning that would be why they didn’t come up with an elaborate escape plan earlier||
||Leon wasn’t even a figure of authority before, the beast pack was only formed once Fecto Forgo took over||
||That would be why leon’s soul was shattered upon their defeat||
He still had a ||soul before then though. Just not as coo coo||
Since he ||had a different name and personality too||
||The moment Leon is released from their control they immediately ditch their plan and opt to take everyone by force||
||Chaos Elfilis’ figure does also imply that Fecto Forgo directly took over and absorbed the native beasts souls||
There are not much mention on how the possession really works. It is left vague enough that unless this ability has to be explained in great detail for plot reason in future games, you can headcanon whatever make sense there. That's Kirby story telling.
actually wait
||Isn't that basically just the skybox for the first phase of the Genwel Meteonelfilis fight?||
||for context, i just beat meteonelfilis for the like, 3rd time and already 100%ed scw, but it says there are new songs||
But I really want to know whats the deal with ||five pointed flowers. Is it just to look like stars and the star portals? Dreamstalk, alter flowers, star portals, Genwel second phase lasers.||
||150 should be the correct count of all the songs||
||yea that’s why it’s weird that it’s saying there are new ones||
||i kinda find it interesting how forgo took both leongar and dedede and treated them entirely differently. dedede got turned into a feral animal and lost all his kindness and leadership qualities. meanwhile leongar was put in the position of a leader and forced to become civilized||
Probably an oversight of a scripted event
...i swear i dont try to make everything about dedede i just thought this was an interesting parallel

Right now, they are just ||cool coincidences for the shape design of this universe, like there are numerous heart and star shaped things. The Dark Nebula ice attack is very similar but it can just be making the laser attack more threatening by making it create crystals, it didn't even make ice on the floor.||
maybe ||Elfilis learned compassion from... Some of the fl people (I know plenty of them were unfeeling scientists)||
||speaking of lasers, how do you even dodge meteonelfilis’s lazer? Morpho Sword dodge doesn’t even work||
||Just walk past it||
Yah, for now the only mysterious ties of ||Genwel are with Galacta and Void. Even though there is like a half second of Sectonia in there I swear 😭||
||And jump over it||
(story boss, we really need to get better at letting people know what the spoiler is for) ||I mostly just ran away 😭 Though arguably getting hit by it makes it end sooner lmao||

Also the name ||Prince of mirrors and Regret|| goes hard ||
||
||mirror|| mention 
||Fly as it gets close||
does (final boss) ||genwel mean anything||
i just learned there's a bit where talking to elfilin reveals that ||fecto elfilis was drawn to the new world by neichel's singing||
is this true
||get mirror and just reflect it back, easy||
yep
I swear its time for ||mirror world to be super relevant and important.....right?
||
that'd be insane and im conflicted about it
They'd have to make it make sense first
also true
||I need my true Dark Mind comeback||
Something, something, another dimension tie in, there, done!
||I think the "gen" in Genwel is supposed to come from "General" while "wel" is from "jewel"||
cuz i mean the only special thing about ||"Mirror World" is the Dimension Mirror itself, its otherwise just a normal-ass planet, and the Dimension Mirror itself really doesn't feel that important||
Other than having the absolute best dark/parallel/another charies.
||i mean we really dont know that do we||
crack theory final boss ||Genwel is from the future and is a mirror version of Elfilis lel
||
you mean there could be other things? 🤷
I thought it was ||Genesis||
Thats why its time for it to come back and be super important! 💪🪞
Speaking of Mirror World, what's the deal with King D-Mind again
What's up with the Dark Mirror
probably considering original game offers little to no world building whatsoever lol
he's not Actually a Shadow Dedede
its basically as malleable as they wanna be
||tbh I'm not sure about that myself but I kinda remember someone saying that it was general||
He's created by Dark Taranza's vision of a strong warrior, and then Dark Mind manifested from Dark Taranza's evil thoughts
It's ||General but when you're speaking in UwU||
as strong as my brainrot for mirror clones is I worry they'd make it even more confusing than it already is haha
||meteonewfiwis||
||Fecto is based on the word "perfect"||
||Genesis sounds more lory, also could add to Genwel's prophecy being what kicked things off||
even now i found myself doubting that the Mirror World definitely isn't a parallel edgy world, is actually the world you play through in Amazing Mirror, and all the mirror clones are born when characters look into the "Dimension" Mirror
i trust kumazaki
When I first heard it, thought it meant fecto, like.....
Infected.
most of the confusing things are moreso confusing on purpose rather than because they are badly thought out
Just gimme the return of the Mirror World and fulfill my childhood dreams of Dark Mind Soul and I can finally die in peace
||I did too but It's japanese name is more in line with it being perfect||
||maybe the general part of "Genwel" could imply that Meteonelfilis has more authority as an elder brother?||
||Or Chaos Dark Mind since I'm pretty sure Soul Bosses are kinda retired now||
||I do wonder what kind of trope will Morpho put a end to in the next game||
More generic 😂
it would be cool to get (uhh final boss ig?) ||confirmation that the ancients created the Dimension Mirror||
before final boss, art || https://x.com/kabo_chips/status/1962274206025953746 ||
||you think children would make nightmares of this||
i love kirby artists so much man you have no idea
these japanese artists who lock in and make these insane lineless pieces every 2 seconds
||honestly we're 2 rooms away from getting the Backrooms in Kirby||
i saw those ||lanterns|| and I paused like ||is there writing in them? What kind of lanterns are they?|| instantly knew ||that area is important somehow||
suyasubi my beloved
god this is insane
||what is creepier. this or eternal echoes hall||
Honestly one of the most goated kirby artist
||going through the space underneath the volcano is genuinely so cool||
both.
at the same time.
this is way wrse imo
either way glad to know that kirby will continue giving kids nightmares
||it using all the different languages is insane||
wait woahh fr?
teyre all mixed in there
||I only heard english and japanese||
||Prescient Stirring is way creepier than Eternal Echoes||
||And then they combine them||
maybe I didn't pay too much attention
is it only two? 
||tbh using corrupted versions of wondaria songs gets to me more. something so whimsical and jolly presented in unsettling context||
not literally all but a lot
||Authenticating, authenticado||
its so cool
||Wondaria is directly tied to the ancient's exodus from the planet now||
like, ||FL symbols, Lor symbols, uhhh actually we don't have any Jamba symbols but having them there would break things a bit||
because you'd think ||magic ancients would happen Later, after they get to "New World"||
They both are freaky
||But honestly this one is a bit worse because at least with the chaos elfilis halways you at least you kinda understand why voice was there, here you don’t really know why. The elevator and wondaria music doesn’t really associate with meteor elfilis||
||i always theorized that it was basically part of the propaganda to inspire people of the new world to leave for other planets||
Question to Kumazaki: When will the word Canvas in the New World language be relevant
adocia,,,
you know the one
Still not convinced. Only proof is that the races are different. I can come up with BS to explain that.
the void one
cant wait to see if there are any new references to characters like that ||in the new song||
wait is that spoilers-
yeah
For real I ||can barely hear the difference in syllables in the songs. Actually hearing words will be up to y'all 😭||
arguably its already is
||more proof that adeleine might be one of the new world people citizens descendants||

||ngl I wonder if Adeleine even has parents to begin with||
maybe
until proven I'm a denier
||i mean she probably doesnt anymore...||
btw there are ||necklace busts|| in alivel mall which I think is a normal alivel mall thing i never noticed before
||Test tube baby?||
||Would be cool if there is like a whole secret civilisation of humans somewhere in AD||
throwback to someone making a joke about (this is all final area stuff i think) ||Adeleine arriving in one of those space pod looking things||
Oh does anyone have that meme about ||Lor greeting Adeline home? ||I liked it :) it was funny
forget about Adeleine-like FL people for a moment tho, I still wonder about Drawcia/Claycia and all that. Drawcia and Paintra's painter,,,,
I think in all these cases the things the language references are named after the word in the language 
what if ||all of them become painters/artists, like that's just an ability most of them have||
that'd be so based,,, thinking abt how that makes things so (still final area stuff ig) ||much more vibrant instantly, and that's why most of the ancient creatures all have some kind of Aesthetic to them||
(UCZEX) ||As much as I love the Two Planets Approach Limit's Starry ver, i lowkey wish it was remixed a bit more. Like, imagine if it had bits of Lagrange Point, or maybe some of the leitmotifs we saw in that one...
imagine if it was called "Stellar Collision of the Binary Star" as the two siblings' power merges in Chaos||
i think someone should draw elfilin like this because of ||all the souls he basically has inside him at this point||
||It’s so interesting cause like||
||There’s no alien lying in some sort of capsule or creatures sneaking around these ruins||
||There’s nothing||
||Just the final remnants of a civilization before leaving entirely||
||i think this is what makes it so creepy. it feels more real and out of place||
end of ucz ex ||lord of chaos making the amalgamation of souls even more fucked up 😭 ||
||bro what do you mean there's a galactal inside you now||
||yeah I actually noticed that too lmao||
I'm still mildly intrigued by the animation they gave to saving Starries after finishing the story ||they just fly into Elfilin for some reason, instead of zipping off into space or whatever||
||i don't think they do||
||Galactals kinda give me the feeling that they'll taste like sweet jelly or something||
I need to double check maybe, but I was pretty sure
||they fly off, and in the next shot they're no longer on screen, but the exact same shiny piece that flies into elfilin at the end of the ultimate cup z appears in z ex||
||like it's directly reused||
ngl maybe its just me but i feel like after FL series started pushing outwardly creepy imagery and music more often again
makes me happy
Did anyone hear ||Neichel’s unfinished song?||
like there were scary implications like in robobot but it was mainly implications
Kirby Star Crossed World - Ultimate Cup Z EX. This video shows you a complete Ultimate Cup Z EX run in the Colosseum with all bosses of the Kirby and the Forgotten Land DLC "Star-Crossed World" for Nintendo Switch 2.
►Game Information:

▪ Platform: Nint...
here its just outwardly trying to be unsettling
||yes||
me when inward struggle from rtdx and ||prescient song from scw||
i still think fecto forgo is by far the scariest boss in the series, unless you're really afraid of blood
||nah no one here did
||
100%
||Is there a complete version?||
also idk
||unfortunately no||
||no, the whole point is that it's incomplete||
but i feel like magolor soul ex is also more creepy and unsettling than, say, haltmann supposedly getting erased
but what if it was both
||Haha lol||
hey guys did anyone here play SCW
||Youtubers not putting spoilers in the thumbnail challenge: impossible ||
mainly because it feels like creepypasta version of the fight. yknow what i mean? like if you were a kid and playing this game without any context it just comes across as creepy corrupted version of the fight lol
i didnt play scornful cone of wool
save them
sollow cnight wilkwong? that's in 3 days
||Oh ok. Cause it’s very strange that the song count ended at 149.||
but yeah to wrap my point back around to scw
||the area under the volcano island is creepy as hell too||
||it ends at 150||
want: more of that please
Also ||Neichel still had to be human at that point, because of the steps at the start||
probably ||hal room, then quit out and redo that||
ref DO SOMETHING
5-1?
||are you saying humans are the only species capable of walking 😭||
||wait what?? So what’s the 150th one? I only have 149, and I completed the entire pack||
||non human species are simply... waddling||
In Kirby, yes. 😭
||150 is neichel's unfinished song that's odd||
you might be missing one of these
||it's probably hal room||
||THERE’S A HAL ROOM?!?!?||
lol
Bro Who Doesn't Know
||wastes that count time yea, it's in the first room||
||Plz tell me there’s a video about it||
||Also SpongeBob rollercoaster moment but it’s still really tragic to me that there were folks who stayed behind and are just now unambiguously dead||
||Like, can you imagine living in the collapsing remains of your world while most of the population has just||
||Left||
i just realized what ||prescient song|| reminds me of ||with its corruption of previously energetic innocent music and such||. idk if anyone here played half-life 2 but ||theres a creepy track there that plays when you inspect abandoned swings on the playground.|| this literally gives similar vibe to me lol
hf2 track is admittedly creepier but still
This is my guide to finding the secret HAL Room in the Wastes That Count Time stage in Kirby Star-Crossed World from Kirby and the Forgotten Land (Nintendo Switch 2 Edition).
||nah this is genuinely sad i feel. i think overall story of neichel is rather tragic. she saved most of her people but at the cost of herself||
Thx
||when i was searching for it i broke the right crystal by sheer coincidence lol||
Whats odd is ||unfinished song is before shes ship, but after others left....so were only late departing ships her?||
what
Evil morning I fell asleep playing RTDLDX and my NECK hurts
Now back to RTDLDX and more SCW
100% ||I still don't think neichel is the lor starcutter, I'm still on the theory she boarded one later and that became the starcutter or something||

||I can imagine the reason she stayed behind was because it wouldn’t be fair to leave with the others||
||Like the concept of a world just slowly shrinking is so tragic||
Whats your take on ||white wings and breath on my window and artificial heart pounding?||
if we pretend ||the time dilation is backwards or rely on time travel we can pretend they survived Somehow because of that||
100% ||the connection of the lor with the new world is pretty clear and the current question is "how exactly" because we don't even know if the lor is one of a kind or if the new world people did leave on one or multiple lor starcutters||
||I mean these are all related to lor starcutter anyway, don't see what you are asking||
||Meteonelfilis -> Galactal -> Chaos Elfilis -> Morpho Knight -> Galacta Knight
||
||final boss is Galacta Knight, trust||
||man I wish I was Lor Starcutter!||
||i don't think they would've added the information that neichel stayed behind in the new world if she just took another ship later on||
So it would be her ||meeting with something that had an artificial heart, not HER artificial heart?||
okay that last line... ||what else could that mean???||
||she is just riding the lor||
||just sing a funny song that turns out to be a prophetic message and then get locked in a spaceship's engine room for centuries
||
||just matter of time until we find out Neichel herself is a holographic AI singer||
So yes, ||meeting, not having....||
||human ancients deconfirmed like that /joke||
I still kinda side with ||she is it, because I have trouble fitting the lyrics as nicely otherwise. Takes more streches||
100% ||it says "I don't have white wings yet" so she could just be saying "lol I'm not like the lor" or something||
Actually that would be really cool 👀
||I just think there's literally nothing in the lyrics saying "ah yes me the singer is a flying ship that soars the cosmos" and I think in particular the lor noises are related to INSIDE the lor so for me it makes way more sense she recorded this inside the lor||
||in particular as we hear her steps and everything||
||a ship doesn't walk...||
||and I don't see how "neichel recorded a song inside the lor" becomes "NEICHEL IS THE LOR" that feels like a massive jump lol||
Thats why I think it was|| before, why she has not wings "yet" I think if she stayed, but then left anyway, her initially deciding to stay being on the billboard is kinda, misleading.||
cant find the leaks thread im guessing the ||lyrics|| havent been posted here yet
||i haven't seen the idea that neichel recorded the song within the spaceship/lor before it took off, but i like that idea a lot more||
they are on wikirby
"Last Song (Incomplete) - NEICHEL's Unfinished Track" is a song from Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. It is a track that NEICHEL never finished, unlocked as a reward for 100% completion of the entire game. The song has lyrics, but no vocals. It was composed by Yuki Kato.
||didnt neichelor theory came before people found out about the final song?||
The thing to me about that is ||if she stayed behind, how does that reconcile with her becoming a ship somehow? The ship that was clearly no where near the planet stayed on||
||What if Galactals without their armor is what Galacta Knight looks like without the mask. Two big round eyes||
||Maybe Neichel is Magolor
||
everyone is magolor
||I would rather die than find out Magolor is not Magolor||
anyway i'm gonna start my playthrough of the whole game including star-crossed world now
||I personally still don't get why people jumped to "neichel is the lor" yeah, the recording even has her footsteps||
dont they ||only have one?||
||that is why I'm sorta confused too, she stayed behind, but my personal theory is that later she (and possibly others that stayed if any) regreted and built their own ship to escape, and maybe that is the lor?||
||What if it's the Lor's hidden floating shoes that hasn't been shown yet. Like how a lotta modern Kirby characters have floating limbs||
I feel like the whole ||song has so much about being artificial, wishing to be with people you can't and flying. I don't think its a stretch at all. But I'll try to not stop making other possible connections too.||
||Yes, now imagine that on maskless Galacta, but TWO eyes||
/lh /hj
I like that, yeah
I had a joke tragic theory that ||the ships were supposed to return for the people left behind, but never did, so that's what the song is about lol||
||a lot is vague tbh and maybe this could just be a reference to novas or something (translation of japanese lyrics)||
super difficult: listen to kirby's new waving voice clips for 2 minutes straight without smiling
Honestly I also can't see|| how anyone would unwillingly go extinct when they can TIME TRAVEL||
actually wait oh my god
If you smile you go to Bubbly Clouds
||I'm still into the Neichel is the Lor because I love the idea and find it cute that the final song is the Lor itself singing in beeps||
kirby series when ||the heart is a machine||
still one of the coldest shots in all of kirby
Heartless Machine….
kirby is so cool
Yah, I just think things fit really nicely ||Neichlor wise. It had that "click" y'know? I have to say "well thats just a vague reference" otherwise.||
||these japanese lyrics make it seem so obvious to me now
these lyrics seem to be directly implying the reason she DOESN'T want to leave on the lor
she says she that going to a different dimension, and relying on ai ISN'T her wish
that's why there's so much in the song about the lor, because it's about how she doesn't want to go||
YEAH
||Genwel Meteonelfilis and Neo Chaos Elfilis making me remember how sick Kirby final boss fights are once again||
it's like, such a different vibe in english
||"i sure wish i wasnt an ai on a ship far away from my home planet right now!"||
|| https://wikirby.com/wiki/Last_Song_(Incomplete)_-_NEICHEL's_Unfinished_Track japanese lyrics with translations are here||
"Last Song (Incomplete) - NEICHEL's Unfinished Track" is a song from Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World. It is a track that NEICHEL never finished, unlocked as a reward for 100% completion of the entire game. The song has lyrics, but no vocals. It was composed by Yuki Kato.
||Alternate version, she had vision that she becomes the Lor and the song is her not wanting that despite it happening||
||"tell a fella teleporting aint enough" instead of teleporting not being what SHE wants
it's less obvious, but still implied, that the artificialness of the spaceship makes her nervous, makes her "pulse pound"
and "could this be exactly what i wished for?" is like the complete opposite vibe of "is this really my wish?", the former makes it seem like it IS while the latter makes it seem like it ISN'T||
||but yeah honestly I just wanted to voice my own interpretation, since a lot of people just concluded "OH SO NEICHEL IS LOR" but this feels a "OH SO KIRBY IS VOID" 2.0 in a way like not that I don't agree, it's more like, I saw it another way lol||
||tbf with that line, the "how" at the beginning could also make it sound like she regrets it||
||i still think the english lyrics are really good (aside from the final part with "what a sweet" that just doesn't fit), but i think it's pretty clear they didn't really directly translate the message of the song||
yeah same
i even compared it before lol
||With the way description worded “On the day of departure, people remained on the planet as their destiny and the diva was one of them” which can be taken in like several ways lol mainly: 1; these people wasn’t able to ride the ship because there wasn’t enough for everyone. 2; People stayed behind because they couldn’t trust the ai to navigate them to the new world. Being implied they might possibly put to sleep during the ride, there’s always a chance those ships might end up somewhere NOT the destination, or they don’t want the ai to choose the new paradise for them||
||it's just more ambiguous tho ||
WAIT I JUST REALIZED ||THIS CONFIRMS NEICHEL IS THE BEST KIRBY CHARACTER BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T LIKE AI!||
||"Riding a sparkling star to the neighboring town." Clearly this is referring to the Warp Star. Conclusion: Neichel is Kirby. /j||
||neichel was too ahead of her time||
||Did everyone forget about the totally real and not fake missing lyrics that I found in the leaks channel||
||i think she was ahead of everyone in terms of time
i mean she literally knew the future||
||you joke but "is neichel kirby or galacta knight" was my first though after the song 😭 GK due to the white wings part LOL||
With this time, at least, ||I feel like this one at least leads to some funny stuff like the Mago x Lor sticker being 86000x funnier. Even if I don't personally buy the theory||
same lol
yeah 😭
bsaed
||Also people beating up the Lor boss would make em feel sad and guilty now lmao||
||Actually even funnier especially with Bandee being able to understand it in the novels
||
||i do think its notable that even people in japanese fandom came to this theory while void is kirby thing seems to be mainly western fanbase exclusive phenomenon||
not caring much for this interpretation is fine tho
YOU'RE TELLING ME A STAR CROSSED THIS WORLD?
||i feel like the song still means something even if we are all wrong about the exact intention atm. maybe its a thing we will learn what it is exactly later||
||Like of all people, Neichel choose Bandee to speak to first because he is just that pure of heart||
||I am, if nothing else, a sucker for "but it's funny". So I can't hate the theory 😆||
100% ||I actually think maybe it's like, sure, neichel left on the lor, and maybe she became the lor AI or something???? who knows man but again for me the song was recorded inside the lor when neichel was still herself even if she became the lor, that's one thing I will personally not be convinced otherwise||
Another one? Hh.
||but I do feel in general mostly what kuma wanted to confirm was like "yeah the spaceship new world is directly connected to the lor starcutter lol!"||
||i don't think someone who doesn't want to rely ai would "become" ai
also like how would that work||
(UCZEX) ||this is what the ending feels like lol||
||i still think she didnt LITERALLY became the lor but rather ai was modelled after her just so people of the new world will be more convinced to leave. then again mind transfer is not exactly foreign concept... haltmann moment||
LMAO
||well maybe a bad guy idk 😭||
||It’s a very interesting theory||
||Like when you look at it from a more realistic perspective it sort of falls flat but it’s not as overly ridiculous and confusing as Void and Kirby…sort of lol||
That one ||I can see easier. The "she literally became the Lor" ones are the ones that confuse me lol||
i think the only definitive conclusion we can come to is that ||neichel is the main character of this game||
||but yeah it's pretty clear neichel and the lor are connected the question still is exactly how and that's the fun of speculating||
||(playing through point of arrival) me when a radio wave from a ship that left this planet to outer space ages ago hits the radio next to me and starts playing a banger song||
||wait I didn’t think people actually thought she actually TRANSFORMED into the ship, I thought we were on the mind/soul transfer boat
||
||Heh "boat"||
I.....think its pretty strange to say|| "she didn't go" and then "oh she went but she did't like the exact method of going" Im not sure how that has emotion.||
||yeah i doubt they would say she chose to stay behind if she just. didn't stay behind||
||how so? it is possible she stayed behind, but was forced to leave after for another reason. who knows, honestly this also feels pretty tragic||
||It's all fun and games until Neichel shows up again in the next concert. But instead of big hat, she wears a big Lor Starcutter hat upside down. And then reveals the missing part of the lyrics being "I became the Lor Starcutter"||
I think, it contradicts.
||i think it technically doesn't contradict but still would just feel like poor writing||
||its like an irony that she’s the ones that made all the song, mostly because she was requested to, but more she wrote or figure out the answer, the less she wanted to leave the planet riding the ship. Neichel Lor hater arc?? /j But if we think of it, Neichel’s song is played inside the ship, people being convinced by her song, I could see it being Lor being based around her AI so that each people boarding the ship will feel safe BECAUSE the ship is Neichel ai, the diva that helped them board the ship. Neichel possibly didn’t like the fact the ship was used AI based on her existence to make people like if they’re under a spell/influence or something.||
||That being said, I’m very curious about the other people that stayed behind. I wonder if those people were some important ones that was mentioned or implied in past? The way it’s been talked about, there is a possible chance Neichel is alive, or was able to survive in some way shape or form. Neichel being able to decipher the meteor’s prediction through a dream…||
Well, ||I'm more amenable to "the ai is based on her" rather than "her brain got actually put into it", if that makes sense. I just can't reconcile the "stayed behind" part with "lol but then they put her brain into a boat that definitely left"||
(100%) ||That's what I had thought too, since the whole point of the theory was about the Lor having a heart. Imo I think she likely died on the new world, or perhaps on the Lor, but either way she lost her physical form||
I feel ||less about a delayed and inconvenient wish than one which was never granted. But different strokes y'know? I guess not liking the trip could...be emotional?||
semi-crack theory related to 100%
||neichel stayed, then magolor appeared. she befriended magolor but magolor left. she missed magolor, so she got a ship (lor) and then used it to try to find magolor
||
Why is the first thing I wake up and do is hop on RTDLDX true arena to meet Magolor Soul while talking about ||SCW Neichel and Lor relationship||

||the cake Kirby was holding in opening of RTDL was actually Neichel’s cake||
(100%) ||I think it's possible that the other people who stayed behind may have done this to her, although yea, I think that the ai is simply based on her makes more sense 😭||
||Pov Neichel: ||
Bro Kirby fumbled cuz that cake fell right before she pulled up 😭
Shgsgshshshhsjdhsjsjjdjd
100% ||The way I see things... NEICHEL's feelings about wanting to leave after coming to regret staying behind are things she kept to herself, something the figures do not pick up on because you can only see her thoughts after you achieve the 100% milestone. She may have written the song for herself, then archived it somewhere before she left (or attempted to do so)||
||I still want to believe in the cake > fruit > red fruit as RTDL opening cake > ME fruit fragment > Clash gem apple but told in a way of a love story or smth just to make it more confusing on purpose||
I could see it
Who writes the figure descriptions?! 🤯
Yes, this is exactly how it happened
kumazaki
||Didn’t Magolor mention that he stole the ship from Landia? I don’t see how Neichel would go to Halcandra.||
do you know what "crack theory" means lol
You crack a theory ||(Magolor is a egg so you crack em)||
but 100% ||I do think the lyrics sort of imply neichel is traveling to meet someone||
||if humanity ever gets interdimensional travel technology who's gonna volunteer to scatter figures all over the place with accompanying lore descriptions for any future aliens to puzzle over||
Me! Me!
I want involved in this
I would
||time capsules but epic||
||me making Magolor figure and scatter them across HAL Laboratory grounds for people 86 millions later to find it||
100% ||I agree, I think the point is that Neichel regrets staying behind and wanted to meet with someone, whichever interpretation you go with as to how she is connected to the Lor, I do think she wanted to leave at least||
||Star Allies Box: legend says this rectangular relic once intrigued many across continents with the contents stored within the small collection piece kept within.||
I still subscribe to the fucked up theory that (100%) ||maybe NEICHEL attempted to leave on a prototype of the New World, the same one that is a crashed setpiece in Star-Crossed World, and perished because of the unstable nature of said prototype||
||Neichel is actually Magolor’s mother||
||I'm neichel hi||
||What if it was Kirby?||
||i think its fascinating how neichel went from a fun tidbit and concert surprise to this somewhat deep character with fairly complex relation to the grander lore||
YEAH
||And she wanted to go to popstar?||
||youre Magolor’s mother?????????||
YEAH I AM STILL NOT OVER THAT
||okay here is my interpretation of the entire last song
it is also objectively correct and you cannot argue against it||
we finally have our own character that haunts the series overarching narrative that arent just vague abstract ancients
we did it chat
what did i walk in on 
Why does it remind me of when someone thought Gigi was my parent 😭 😭 😭 😭
😭
WHAT????? :I DONT REMEMBER THAT 😭
IT WAS LIKE LAST YEAR
maybe it's a blocked memory

(She might be an ancient tho)
wtf did I walk into

no clue pal
We’re theorizing if Gigi is ancient or not
Obviously, yes
IM OLNY A FEW YEARS OLDER THAN YOU SMH
EGGACTLY
She’s old
Time travel...
egg catching minigame be like
😭 😭 😭
Lowkey my brain thought I was 20 years old
I was not 20 years old, I’m way past 20 years old
i kinda accepted the fact that im 24 now
but i did join this server when i was 20 :)
People when they find out ancient people literally meant people from the ancient time (long ago):
I still find it funny when I first came to English community and found out there was a lot of people thinking ancient people are an entire race
Instead of literally, figuratively, people from ancient time
As someone from the English community, this baffles me to this day too
i definitely like them being from different cultures and races
they were a whole civilization
rather than just one specific type of creature
Or multiple civilizations even
Yeah!

okay slightly better i think
Like there’s def gotta be multiple different civilizations, which they’re from ancient times
But it’s kinda funny when people think direct descendants of ancient people are ancient because “people from specific era” vs “people from that clan” differences are very very different lol
I still hold my mental image of vast trading networks and different cultures conducting diplomacy or starting wars with each other
I think mainly because FF7 also have the Ancients and they are basically a different race of one civilisation
Also because a lot of theories I remember being prevalent when I first entered fandom was that Magolor was an ancient descendant and so they must all look like him
and then years later it turns out hes just a COSPLAYER
HE IS JUST A NEEEEEEERD
YEAH LMFAOOOO
HE IS NOT EVEN FROM HALCANDRA
Also the idea that "Oh, what if XYZ character is a descendant of the ancients?" when that's just how being alive works 😭 We're all descendants of ancient people's, and so would be true for the Kirby universe, barring any weird cases where an individual sprang into being with no ancestors
