Disturbing Discovery About Zero Two · 5:17pm May 10th, 2022
I just discovered something while exploring the TV Tropes pages.
Has any of you wondered what are these weird black mark-things in the red background of the fight against Zero Two?
Well, apparently, they are wheels. And not just any wheels, but the wheels of Ophanim! For the ones who don't know what are these wheels (like me before I researched about them), link. Read this page, and think of what this means.

Zero Two is a Biblically Accurate Angel?
KIRBY IS AN ANGEL!?!
On one hand, yes, that's likely the inspiration behind them. On the other hand, floating rings of that kind are a pretty common feature for main boss villains of older Japanese games. Some newer ones, too.

As are references to Christian symbolism with no deeper meaning. Looking at you, mister One-Winged Angel.

More like a divinity. And in my story, Kirby is a divinity too, or a future divinity.

Yeah, I remember seeing such wheels before around some bosses, but I didn't know how they were called and their symbolism. But what is frightening here is that the wheels are so huge that we don't recognise them as such because we are inside them while facing Zero Two.

And the funny part is that since nobody recognized the wheels, they weren't able to censure them like they tended to do to any Christian symbols in games (like how they cut off any Christian crosses they see).

More like the ESRB wasn't good enough at the game to unlock the fight. That's how they got away with the first Zero, and honestly probably works as far as censorship is concerned on the basis that any child capable of doing that is already hardcore enough to handle it.

True.
Ohh... So that's why Man on the Internet's cover says "Ophanim, our chariot awaits/To blaze a trail across the sky"...
Wait, if those wheels are surrounding Kirby and Zero Two... Does that mean they're fighting inside Ophanim?! I mean, I shouldn't be surprised because Kirby is canonically only 8 inches tall, but still...

Kirby's size has kinda changed with Forgotten Land. If the ancient inhabitants truly are humans, then judging by Kirby's size compared to one of their car, Kirby would be more the size of a small child. So, actually, he would be just a bit smaller than an average pony in my story.
So I think that this is more this version of Ophanim that is really big.

I just had a realization. In the true ending cutscenes of Kirby 64, the eyes of Dark Matters making up Dark Star are briefly seen before it explodes. And the wiki says Ophanim is also known as the "many–eyed ones." That means that the entirety of Dark Star was Ophanim, which means that Kirby and Ribbon actually destroyed Ophanim by defeating Zero Two. That also heavily implies that Zero Two is an angel, because the wiki says Ophanim has the spirit of Cherubim, an angel, in it.

He's literally never been shown to that scale in anything official. Every time humans or human-adjacent things are in the same shot as him (Kyary Pamyu Pamyu comes to mind), he's in his Smash proportions. Compare Olimar, who in his own games will regularly marvel at gigantic things that are just regular things because he's tiny.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land is just
the first time in canonabsolutely nothing new, because Adeleine is right there and not all that much taller than him. Interestingly enough, that means the Forgotten Land cars are sized as if she was an adult (which makes sense for the Wondaria Remains go-kart courses, at least).5656577
More like Zero Two was the divinity riding the chariot Ophanim and the Dark Matters were the angels composing it.

Darn. This makes Dedede a real giant (when they don't shrink him when he is a playable character).
Even when they do, he's still pretty damned big for a penguin.

Yeah like, with this explanation, you just have to compare him to Snake for example on smash.roughly the same height, but triple ddd takes the wide by…evident reasons.
