Description
Prepare for a rant now.Okay, first off, entirely inspired off of episode 16, which I have dubbed to be the STUPIDEST episode in the Kirby anime, and some pent-up aggravation involving Meta Knight's unruly GODMODDING.
Since a lot of you who look at my pictures never seen this episode, I'll explain quite briefly. It's called "The Fish Who Loved Me" (english dub is "A Fish Called Kine") so if the episode's title isn't enough of a forewarning...
Basically, Kine the fish falls in love with Fumu (Tiff). And Fumu's just a little too soft to tell him that she'd never hook up with a fish, because he's a fish and she wants a majestic, handsome warrior with a brain to marry (*large arrow appears over Meta Knight* Haha, but he'd never go out with YOU, my ugly duckling~
Yet even during this waste of time in which a semblance of a plot is never even approached, Meta Knight, the Official Spearhead of Storyline (he is! Without him, it would be a series of random events, the end! :B), still makes an appearance.
Why?
Well, like always. He's there to point, say "Look, there's Fill In The Blank Kirby!" and go back home.
Which, as you can imagine, AGGRAVATES ME TO NO END.
But this episode takes the cake. Instead of having him do that like normal, the animators decided to try to make sense for once. Because, just having him appear on a rock in the middle of the ocean conveniently where the battle is taking place gets old. Right?
So, new plan. Let's pretend Meta Knight has a cheap, poorly designed submarine that's really just a barrel. This.
Because, hell, we know he builds things with his cronies. Just look at The Halbred .
............
On second thought, I can't see a connection between that tiny submarine and the crazy arsed Warship he launches in the final episodes to defeat Nightmare. T_T
So, since Kirby, Fumu and Bun (Tiff and Tuff) need to use it, why not tag along? So they get there, and Fumu/Bun PILOT the thing. Meta Knight just hangs out in the back for the ride. Making comments about the King trying to destroy nature.
HAHA
Because he definitely gives a rat's ass about the environment. That's why during the Industrial Revolution, when DeDeDe's factory is destroying the flowers and rivers, he does NOTHING. That's why during the Whispy Wood's episode when DeDeDe successfully cuts down the entire forest and erects a golf course, he does NOTHING. Tourists defiling everything? What does he do? All together now- absolutely NOTHING!
So because this is underwater nature, he suddenly HAS to care and get off his ass to come for the ride! 8D
OH YES.
BUT WAIT. THERE'S MORE.
Yes, now that they've got him into the episode, they need to find some way to keep him busy elsewhere so he doesn't have to take up any screen time. WHICH MAKES SENSE. (NO! NONONO, it DOESN'T!!)
So thus what happens is what is picture above. DeDeDe blows up the submarine... and Meta Knight kinda disappears while Fumu and Bun are drowning. Yes. They're drowning. He's- poof- gone.
..........
From 17:40 in the episode to 19:19. That's about 2 minutes. Just, poof, gone. And when he does appear, he's magically dry and appears on a rock in the middle of the ocean conveniently where the battle is taking place. So they didn't REALLY get around making him suddenly appear on rock, but now the question comes in, how the fucking hell did he get up to the top so fast from the bottom of the ocean and get perfectly dry in those two minutes?
Well, I reason he's made of air and pixiedust. Why fucking not.
And thus he says, "That is Tornado Kirby" and disappears from the rest of the episode entirely. Like usual.
.............
NO, I THINK JUST STICKING TO THE ORIGINAL PLAN OF HAVING HIM APPEAR FOR 5 SECONDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN IS FINE. I mean, you do it all the time ANYWAY. Why do we suddenly have to pretend to be seriously ridiculous?
Oh. And, remember, Meta Knight can't be sucked up by Kirby, who can suck up large rocks and DeDeDe. No, that's because he's like a 'heavy weight' opponent that's special and not affected by Kirby's inhaling.
.............
Oh, this series makes me cry.
the end.

I've watched this episode 2 times, and I don't remember seeing Meta Knight in this episode at all (I only watch the english dub of the Kirby anime).

Well you can suck up meta knight in the games either, though I THINK you can in brawl which is rather hilarious. As for mety in the series, aside from the episodes where he's being useful he's just a random pop up which stinks. I wanted to see him maskless and flying with those wings of his!

Hey, I like Meta Knight a whole bunch so I look forward to what little time they give him on screen even if they said "to hell with logic" when they thought about how he would show up. I agree its REDICULOUS but anything to get the best knight to show up. They should give him his own show or series or game or even a comic just something cause everybody loves him even if the shows made him show up randomly. Its a cartoon so they aren't thinking about when the kids grow up and discover logic, just how to keep their attention while they still think they could possibly fly one day.
Its messed up how cartoon people love to torture all of us big kids at heart by having the most bad ass character just being a side character that occasionally gets an episode all about them. Why cartoon people why?!

This is the Kirby equivalent of a Captain Planet episode. There's no point to it whatsoever other than to introduce the Tornado ability...and to make sure there's exactly 100 episodes.
I really wish MK wasn't such a background character. He possesses such badassery, but because he's not the main protagonist, he had to be toned down to nothing but a shadow who's sole purpose is to point out the painfully obvious (even Tiff seems like a total idiot when it comes to new copy abilities; the first episode was understandable, but still)...that is unless a new Star Warrior appears from god knows where. Then it's his top priority to give a crap.

Tiff would have a crush on Meta Knight, Ribbon would appear in the series, Ribbon likes Kirby but he is oblivious to her feelings. In this episode he would appear at the end staring at the sea during a sunset.

Bun: "I don't know?!"
Meta Knight: "...And Dedede was all like, "I'M GUNNA BUILD THIS COUNTRY CLUB NO ONE CAN GO TO AND GAMBLE AND DRINK EXCEPT ME!" Which I think is totally unfair..."
Fumu: "BUN! You are going to crash it!"
Bun: "Meta Knight, HELP US!"
Meta Knight: "...And so Blade was all "Oh mah god, that is SO STUPID...!

I picked up and started watching the series again, and I agree so hard with this. Just... The anime is entertaining and fun, but sometimes I cry over how Meta Knight and the other characters get little love. More so Meta Knight 'cause everyone loves him, and he's got a lot of potential and they never used it at all. All he does is state the obvious. D:
But I have to laugh at some of the little things he does outside of that. Like him teaching Fumu martial arts. TOTALLY DID NOT EXPECT THAT, BUT IT AMUSED ME. And how he's still considered a good guy even though he has a secret torture chamber and when he controls it it sounds like a pipe organ. Just... WHAT.
Also, I hypothesize Meta Knight's a book worm, or at least has connections with some good writers. It's the only explanation I can think of as to why he was able to summon JK Rowling's Kirby equivalent to Dedede's castle in episode 38.

Now they're giving him too much attention in Brawl, and everyone hates him because of it. :I Now he's banned (Which I can actually understand) and fangirls can't play as their favorite character in tournaments. They'll just have to settle for Ike or Marth.

metalcervidae In reply to MetraIce [2012-01-04 18:47:39 +0000 UTC]
I wouldn't say he got too much attention in Brawl. They overpowered him, which is what a lot of people hate him for, not really because of his character.
I'm actually a Mr. Game & Watch player myself, so I wasn't really bothered MK was banned from tournaments. XD He can be pretty cheap.

HAHAHA I guess the little quirks in his personality make it worth it, and also keep it in general as mysterious. And definitely, after all "the pen is mightier then the sword". In these ways, I also did appreciate the, very little, screen time Meta Knight got.
Ah well. Man, I need to pick up the series again too! X'DDD
