3:13 I like to think that the creepy "and here we are" is in forgo's twisted dreams which we hear in his chaos soul form even because he's been trapped for ages, an animal in a cage for visitors to look at, who usually hear the whole speech about lab discovera and ID-86 from the tour guide voice but all forgo could hear when trapped was the "and here we are" once the guests left the elevator, driving him insane torturing him and basically giving him trauma and pain that carries out in his final attempt at revenge when all is left is his mind which is sad af to think about

[thomashost]

I think the "non-canon" Arena Modes are more canon than we initially thought.

[marshallm]

The “and here we are” thing got to me because knowing that Forgo was conscious that entire time while being contained it must have heard that phrase thousands of times, driving it crazy…

Also you make mention to similarities to Drawcia souls, but I also saw similarities to Marx souls with the cutter attack and the black hole attack. Very interesting stuff.

I wonder if the reason why Morpho Knight is always following Kirby is because it wants to consume Kirby and take its infinite power, but because Kirby is pure hope and light with a strong will and infinite power, it can't. So it constantly follows Kirby, because it has a knack for meeting Galaxy-Level Threats, absorbs their power, add it to their own and tries to take Kirby or even Meta Knight by force, that way because both of them have a will far too strong to be over taken. Even Elfilis tried taking over Meta Knight's mind, but he was far too strong for Elfilis to do so. So its a sign that Morpho, like Elfilis, needs those with great power, but weak enough wills to take over and absorb to become stronger.

[mcpics]

Man morpho knight is so strong that he made himself canon lol

[sinkdrain]

I've got a theory for Morpho Knight and his gimmick with evaporating the final bosses.

Basically, the orange butterfly is possibly the most powerful being in all of Kirby. But he is also the weakest since he's a small butterfly. So the butterfly attempts to become the most powerful being by absorbing the power of any nearby powerful characters. Hence why he absorbs Galacta Knight and Soul Forgo. But... That's wrong. Kirby is the most powerful since he could technically beat them all as he did before.

Well that's exactly why the butterfly keeps landing on Kirby. The butterfly is constantly attempting to absorb Kirby, but it can't. Kirby is good. The butterfly is evil. We see that good and evil contrast each other many times, which explains why the butterfly can't absorb Kirby... That or there would be no more Kirby games if he just got absorbed by a tiny butterfly.

There's also that Morpho Knight is just doing it to stop the bad guys from being bad. Judgement stuff. Which would also explain why he'd try to absorb Kirby before some disaster in the intro of kirby games. He's trying to absorb kirby so he could stop the evil. And that ALSO explains why he attacks Kirby in his fights! He's not trying to kill him, he's trying to weaken him so he can absorb him! Maybe they're like two halves of a whole like Elfillin and Elfillis. Morpho Knight is missing a form since his face is all black but Kirby has a form but no armor. Two halves!

But I'm probably just stretching a bit too far. Eh.

[MorePower]

My theory is that the people of the Forgotten Land eventually became the Ancients responsible for a lot of the technology in Kirby lore.

[TKDbirdy]

I wonder if new things after the release will come out like how Kirby star allies got extra free DLC maybe Kirby and the forgotten land will get that too and it could help uncover this mystery a bit more

[umario]

12:40 those other orbs we see in the background after chaos elfilise are destroyed are probably the soul's of the beasts we see squirm to get out which is depressing, fecto forgo was made from leon and other beasts, so if leon never made it out first, nor did the other beasts used to make that monstrosity, which also means since chaos elfilis relied on the beasts to become whole without elfilin, leon got lucky his body was freed from control just before chaos elfilis was formed as clearly he used the other beasts to produce his soul form, hence why we see their bodies squirm as apart of his soul when destroyed, their bodies get destroyed with chaos elfilis, with their only escape and freedom being as souls to scatter away rather than regaining their bodies back :(

[Axelpvz]

6:20 Actually Morpho is more like something more like a judge of death, his japanese name is a fusion beetwen butterfly and valkerie, its also partially inspired on a phoenix (All the fire and the feather like sword) attacks using ghosts in both games and their descriptions add more to the fact their job is to vast judgement on dying or ending things. An about galacta if we consider the descriptions of morpho on star allies as canon they already took galacta's power as thier own, being what makes possible to morpho the that form, so maybe galacta is truly gone fused absorbed by the butterfly, and morpho's absorption was more to neutralise them rater than absorb their power, being maybe why they could escape

[xbroever]

Bro, this game just keeps on giving! Thanks for this True Ending explained video Nin10doland, can’t wait for the future theory videos that try to help with this crazy lore heavy game

[justsomesimplenuclearbirbs]

Just want to point out that Morpho Knight might trust Kirby after the fight it and Kirby had. Between the flavor text for the Morpho Knight Sword and the fact you get the blueprints for it after beating Morpho Knight kinda give that sort of vibe.

And not only does the Morpho Knight Sword fit the "Infinity +1 Sword" trope by giving a moveset that combines the Meta Knight Sword and Gigant Sword into one with the added bonus of both Sizzle/fire attacks from various moves *and* a passive healing from each strike Kirby dishes out on top of only needing to be upgraded *once* due to the attack already being at max which is shared with the Crash Copy Ability (more specifically Time Crash as you need 1200 Star Coins and 3 Rare Stones for Crash while Time Crash is already at max power and only needs 2500 Star Coins and 5 Rare Stones).

But there's another trope known as "I Fight for the Strongest Side!" which is a sub-trope of "Defeat Means Friendship", unlike the previous times Kirby faced someone (which includes in this game) Morpho Knight just kinda... goes away after the battle, fading away like it does in Star Allies, not being made possible to be befriended in any capacity.

All it leaves behind is Chaos Elfilis and the blueprints for its sword.

[meta]

4:55 look at Soul Forgo's eyes. When the butterfly lands on him, Soul Forgo looks like he's thinking "Oh no" and he looks like he knows what's about to happen. It's not a very important detail, but it's a nice touch.

[granitetheglitche]

One thing that has me thinking is that in the Chaos Elfilis Soul fight it suddenly has the ability to use copy abilities. It uses cutter for one attack, fire for another... kind of makes you think.

[Axecon]

Amazing video and awesome that this is the first channel to really break down the Kirby lore in Forgotten Land. I have a pretty wild take on this game as well as Kirby Star Allies and how Morpho Knight links to it all.  *Spoilers*







In Kirby Star Allies, Void Termina, the final boss, is heavily implied to be Dark Matter. In the ancient past, a civilization called the Ancients used Dark Matter technology to create weapons like the Clockwork Star Novas, Master Crown, and Lor Starcutter (referenced by Magolor in Kirby Return to Dreamland). This civilization fell into ruin when the Dark Matter became corrupt and and formed Void Termina (referenced by Hyness in Star Allies). It took four legendary heroes to defeat and seal Void Termina. However, the heroes went mad and became destructive with power. Galacta Knight is implied to have been one of those four heroes.

Now also in Star Allies, an origin for Kirby was implied that he too is an incarnation of Void/Dark Matter but of pure heart. Kirby does possess incredible power and physical resemblance to Void's soul form which strongly supports this. I believe Morpho Knight's goal is to defeat Kirby. I think he is collecting the souls of the four heroes who defeated Void Termina to have enough power and ultimately end Kirby. If Galacta Knight is one of those heroes, I too believe Fecto Elfilis is second of four heroes.

Fecto Elfilis most likely came from the same dimension as Kirby & Planet Popstar as implied by the events of Forgotten Land. Their dimensional abilities resemble attacks similar to those of Galacta Knight, who is also known to rip into voids of time and space. It is very likely the next Kirby game/games may introduce the other two heroes as antagonists and will ultimately conclude with Morpho Knight as the big villain of this entire saga.

[WolfKnightLukos]

The soul fight reminds me of Miracle Zero from Crystal Shards as each attack felt like it was mimicking Kirby's copy abilities.

[citrushubnetwork]

Morpho Knight Absolutely blew my mind in Forgotten land. I loved the heck of Star Allies and always challenge in the Soul Melter EX. Forgotten land is my new favorite! Morpho Knight is very Difficult! And yet, I still feel like it's like a Wormy reference. That one Episode in SpongeBob that scared me for life.

[the_godbodor]

The attack where he bounces in the background is also done by Void Soul in Star Allies who is a Dark Matter, making me think Forgo might be related to Dark Matter in some way.

[iris]

I can think of a very good reason why Forgo Elfilis or Elfilis in general is so hostile. The people who caught him probably didn't treat him well. I think they tried to exploit his powers and ran lab tests on him, causing him to become this dangerous attacking creature he is today

[dvd]

One thing I was wondering about the battle with morpho knight in star allies after I fought him in the Forgotten land is how he is able to summon phantom versions of the creatures he absorbed like Forgo. Does it mean that the phantoms he summons in the star allies boss fight are hinting at Galacta knight appearence behind the mask?
