When... · 5:27pm Sep 6th, 2019
When one attack gives more lore about a character than the majority of the saga.
I just saw the ultimate final boss of the new Kirby spin off, and without spoiling anything, this boss uses an attack that implies something big in the Kirby lore. Thankfully, I think I know how I'll integrate this in the lore of my story.
For the ones that want to be spoiled, or that have already seen the final boss:
Galacta Knight uses Heart Spears for the attack where he usually rains sword beams. The same Heart Spears than the ones used to seal Void Termina! You know what this means? That Galacta Knight may be one of the four heroes that sealed Void Termina in the past! No wonder he's so strong!

So we have our fighter. Now we just need to figure out whether Hyness was the cleric or the wizard, and of course there's the rogue.

I don't think Hyness was one of the heroes. Searching in the net, I found out that he was a normal guy, but one day, he found a book about Void Termina written by the Ancients (probably the ones that were exiled) and things started from here.

Spellsword.

What
Spellsword not warrior
Speaking of which, when the time finally does comes, I think it would be rather epic and a call out to his first appearance in the game if Meta Knight steps forward as the one to inherit that hero's will, and says "Sweetie, I ask that you leave this one to me."

Aah... The problem is that the moment I project for him to appear, Meta Knight will not be around. I can't say more without spoiling what I've in mind for the game where he'll appear.
...Of course! My friend, you've just had a bolt of brilliance! That's why he's called the Aeon Hero! But... why was he sealed away for fear of his power? He was a hero who sealed away the Dark God! Perhaps it was a magic user that sealed him away for his "crime"? Also, why did he only use the Heart Spears in his Dark form? And why did he attack Meta Knight in Meta Knightmare Ultra/Meta Knightmare Returns (I know they're non-canon, but still...)? Was he taking out his anger at being sealed away? With that one tiny detail, you spawned a lot of questions within me!

Maybe he uses this attack in his Dark form... to try to seal us. Maybe in his previous forms, he didn't use them because he didn't mind fighting, but with his Dark form, he just wanted to get this over with and continue his rampage. But obviously, the Spear Hearts didn't work on the Kirbys because they aren't evil, or too pure.

I specifically said "fighter" instead of "warrior" so anybody who knows what a "spellsword" is should have realized that I was riffing on the traditional D&D party of fighter/rogue/wizard/cleric, especially given that I explicitly mentioned the other three classes.
