Some of my early memories with the Kirby anime.

✦War of yore, false and holy...✦

It hasn't been very long since I made the last ref sheet of my Arthur gijinka but I just wasn't satisfied with it at all (lol). He's such a pain in the neck to draw, and even though I'm not very good at drawing armor or really most metallic garments, I'm kind of surprised at how close these look to the image i had of him in my head?

Most of the big design elements here were already present last time around. The wings on the helmet and star-shaped earring tie back to Galacta and the Ancients, and the cape is feathered for the same reason.

Been having an art block again until I got reminded of one of the OG Buff King Dedede designs. There have been plenty of Buff King Dedede over the years, but the one from Kirby Right Back at Ya just simply hits different. I went ahead and drew him in my style.

• Sir Ebrum, Lady Like & their two beautiful children : 12 year old Tiff and 9 year old Tuff ! They may live in the castle, doesn't mean they love their king dearest all that much. God help Tiff through Kirby's journey. She's gonna need the support.

9.🪞 aaaand... 16!📺 For whoever you want... or Tarantillda, idk!!!

9 was already answered here, so let's answer 16 ("If the anime got a reboot or if there was another Kirby TV show, do you have any ideas for episodes that your OC could appear in? What would the plot be and what role would your OC play?"):

I decided to try to slot Tarantillda (and Zed, for fun) into the anime, since coming up with an entirely new Kirby show canon seemed too big an undertaking lol.

I think, if the anime were continued, it would have been cool to see a Star Warriors resurgence with new heroes, and I think it would make sense for Tarantillda and Zed to end up joining said resistance. But they would have to be introduced properly, first, so check under the cut for some episode run-downs if you're interested! :)

For Tillda's introductory episode ("Flower Power"):

A young woman from another planet arrives in Dreamland seeking her brother, who apparently went missing some time ago. She looks through the whole town and doesn't find him—but, just when she's about to leave Pop Star, trouble appears: it's Flowery Woods, a tree-like demon beast! It begins to take over Dreamland and chokes out the sunlight so that Cappy Town is covered in darkness. Tillda, knowing some plant magic and hopeful that her brother might appear alongside Flowery Woods, sticks around to help.

After the fight, she explains that Dedede isn't the only monarch that has been lured by NME to the side of evil—her homeland, Floralia (which probably works better as another planet entirely in the anime-verse), was turned to a miserable place after their tyrannical queen swore loyalty to Nightmare. Tillda meant to grab her little brother and escape the place, but he was lured away and turned into a demon beast himself, leading Tillda to search planets for signs of Nightmare-sponsored trouble and, hopefully, bring her brother back to the light.

The episode ends with Kirby and friends waving her off, promising they'll keep an eye out for Taranza. (She and Tiff would probably take a shine to each other over the course of the episode, since they both play the role of sharp elder sister to an adventurous little brother in a world full of danger!)

For Zed's introductory episode ("Over the Rainbow"):

Kirby, Tiff, and Tuff are playing in town when they see an unfamiliar feline face pass by. Though the newcomer isn't very talkative, he seems friendly enough—especially to Kirby, who is excited to meet a new friend. Tiff and Tuff, on the other hand, are mildly suspicious, but agree that they should learn more before they interfere—especially after catching a glimpse of a strange, black, blob-like creature with one eye displayed on Zed's portable computer.

Later that day, a blight of Dark Matter (which no one in Dreamland is particularly familiar with) descends upon the townspeople. With the exception of Tiff and Tuff, everyone around Kirby starts turning angry and violent, including Lady Like and Sir Ebrum; when the three protagonists encounter several strange, one-eyed creatures, they remember Zed from earlier in the day and assume he is a demon beast summoned by Dedede to bring the blight upon the town.

Zed is discovered huddled away writing notes about the monster. Tiff and Tuff threaten to attack, but Meta Knight quickly swoops in with exposition. Soon everyone calms down and listens to what Zed has to say—that the darkness over Dreamland can be expelled if the leader of the occupying Dark Matter army, the Swordsman, is defeated.

In reply, Meta Knight mentions that the Star Warriors previously defeated Dark Matter Swordsman using the Rainbow Sword, which has since gone missing; Zed then reveals themself to be in possession of this legendary weapon and offers it to Meta Knight, thinking that this must be the hero that can defeat the Dark Matter Clan yet again—but Meta Knight, who already has Galaxia, insists Kirby take it so that the two can join forces to stop this very powerful threat.

Hence DMS is defeated by Kirby and Meta Knight, leaving its army to flee and Dreamland safe and peaceful once more (much to Dedede and Escargoon's relief—the Dark Matter ended up possessing them, too).

Zed exits without much of a goodbye, let alone an explanation of who they are, where they came from, or why they helped fight against the Dark Matter Clan. Meta Knight is left to ponder aloud that, like Fofa, maybe there are other demon beasts that turned to the good side, for one reason or another.

Afterward...

I suppose Zed and Tillda could meet off-screen and become besties (as they ought to be, in every universe 😌). I don't think they'd be the founders of the New Star Warriors, though, especially considering Tillda has no idea who the "Star Warriors" were. Maybe Knuckle Joe and Sirica would come up with the idea and invite Tillda and Zed to join them?

What is GSA week?

GSA week is a fandom event lasting 7 days dedicated to making fanworks related to the Hoshi no Kaabi/Kirby Right Back at Ya anime, more specifically about the sideplot of star warriors and GSA lore part of it. It allows creators to showcase their interpretations, headcanons and original works to celebrate. There are two prompts for each day to chose, combine or do both. You can skip days or chose to do only one day based on what prompt you like, the goal is to have fun and interpret it in your own way.

What counts as GSA/star warrior?

Main characters like Kirby and Meta Knight, background characters such as Meta Knight's star warrior troop, Knuckle Joe's father, Garlude, the four GSA generals, and a character you may headcanon to have joined it like Sirica and Knuckle Joe. Ocs are allowed if they are related to your own interpretation and lore of the GSA.

How does it work?

When the week starts you post a fanwork related to the prompt of that day. There is no deadline and you're allowed to post late but not earlier than the start of the project (wait til the 6th to begin posting!). It needs to be tagged as #GSAweek2025 to count as you joining the event
