Kirby: Mysterious Incident on the Pupupu Train! - Chapter 9: Protect Everyone!
Previous Chapter
Kirby continued to gather strength. His hands were numb, and he felt dizzy, but he didn’t let up. The Jet Copy Ability used stored power to attack enemies by headbutting and kicking into them. Kirby had used this Copy Ability several times before, but this was the first time he was using it to store so much power. Would he even be able to lift something as heavy as the train? He didn’t know. But Kirby didn’t hesitate.
“Strength… the strength… I need the strength…!”
The meteor gradually drew closer. He heard the driver speak through the communication device.
“A bit more… just a bit more, Mr. Kirby… Just a little…!”
Kirby clenched both his fists. He had only one chance. If he failed, there wouldn’t be enough time for him to store up strength. He heard tense breathing from the driver, who was staring intently at the screen. Then, it happened.
“Kirby, now!”
Kirby looked straight ahead and shouted.
“EXPLODINNNGGGGGG… JUMP!!”
The tank on his back blew out a tremendous flame. However, the Pupupu Train continued to travel on the tracks. There was no sign of it rising up. Kirby kept a straight face and yelled.
“TAAAHHHHH! JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!!"
He felt like he could hear the voices of everyone on the train.
“Do your best, Kirby!”
“Kirby! Kirby!”
Kirby opened his mouth wide.
“TAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!! I’M DOING IT!!”
The train slowly rose. The passengers were trembling and calling out to Kirby rom their rooms.
“Yes! Yes! Keep going, Kirby!”
“Ora ora ora ora!”
“Please do it!!”
Kirby put more and more effort into it.
“More and more! BIG, BIG BIG JUMP!”
The train left from the track at a steep angle and rushed through space towards the meteor.
Kirby continued to shout.
“Not yet! Not yet! TAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!”
The train rose so fast that it barely grazed the meteor.
Tumblr media
From the cabin, the driver shouted. “Good job, Mr. Kirby! Now for me to do my job! Just leave it to me!”
He checked the direction of the train and looked at the speedometer.
“Landing a jumping vehicle on the tracks is insane, but…”
The sparkling train tracks projected onto the screen and the driver shouted.
“It’s the job of a driver to protect the passengers! UOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!”
At that moment, there was a massive impact that caused the whole train to nearly flip over. The last car was hit by the meteor and destroyed. The driver went pale.
“We couldn’t dodge it…?! Then the passengers…!?”
At that moment, the conductor’s voice came through the speakers.
“This is the conductor. The cargo hold has been destroyed.”
“The passenger cars?! What about the passenger cars!?”
“The passenger cars are safe. I am currently checking on the passengers.”
“I see… don’t push yourself too hard.”
The driver let out a deep breath.
“The passenger car is safe! Only the freight car was damaged! Everyone is safe!”
He tightened his expression and gripped the lever.
“I must…protect! Protect the passengers!”
(SCREEEEECHHHHH)
With a roar, the Pupupu train landed on the stretched track and picked up speed.
~~~~~~~~
The conductor and maid called out as they made their way down the hallway of the passenger car.
“Is everyone safe? Are any of you injured?”
One after the other, the doors of each room opened up and the passengers peeked out.
“That was a massive tremor! I screamed when I thought we were gonna be hit by the meteor!”
“So the plan was a success and Kirby did it?”
“Yeah! A huge success!”
The conductor and maid gave a smile as cheers resounded.
“We’re safe! We’re safe!”
“Hooray! Let’s party!”
Within the uproar, Bandana Waddle Dee shouted.
“What about Kirby? We have to quickly help him out!”
Pushing aside the Waddle Dees, King Dedede appeared.
“Ow ow ow…I hit my head against the wall! Stupid Kirby, couldn’t he have been a bit more gentle with the jumping?!”
“Your highness…!”
“I’m gonna go complain. You all wait here.”
Dedede opened up the car window.
“I’ll join you.”
The voice came from Meta Knight. The two of them exited the window. Kirby was unconscious on top of the train with both of his hands still grasping the top of the train. His jet tank was cold after using up all the charge from it. King Dedede and Meta Knight landed next to him and called out.
“Are you really sleeping? Get up, Kirby!”
“You did well, Kirby. Thanks to you, everyone made it out safely.”
However, Kirby did not regain consciousness.
“Chef Kawasaki’s gonna make a whole feast for you.”
Kirby’s eyes did not open.
“He didn’t wake up even though I said he was going to have a feast. This is serious…” Meta Knight said with worry.
“That’s not even trying! If you wanna wake up Kirby, here’s what you do!”
Dedede reached into his gown and pulled out a bright red maximum tomato.
Meta Knight was taken aback.
“Why would you bring that out here…?”
“It’s a king’s preference. Eat up, Kirby!”
He shoved the Maximum Tomato in front of Kirby’s mouth. Maximum Tomatoes are Kirby’s favorite food, so it caused him to instantly spring awake.
“Waah! A Maximum Tomato! Thank you for the food!”
Kirby suddenly gained a lot of energy, opened his mouth, and gulped the maximum tomato down. With an utterance of “good grief” from Meta Knight, he stood up.
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~
All the passengers gathered in the dining car for a huge party. Of course, it was a sweets party.
“I’ve made lots of cakes! They’re new recipes that I’m proud of! We’re celebrating the fact that we avoided the meteor, so everyone eat as much as you like!” Chef Kawasaki said with a shining face.
Cheers rose from the passengers. “Hurray!”
“To commemorate the success of avoiding the meteor!”
While everyone was overjoyed, Captain Vul tried to quietly leave the dining car without being noticed, but was stopped by a concerned Chef Kawasaki.
“Where are you going, Captain Vul? Do you not want to participate in the sweets party?”
“…I have no right to participate in it.” He replied in a solemn voice. “I’ve caused everyone trouble. I’m returning to my room.”
Chef Kawasaki ran over to him. “You told the truth and returned the sugar, so that’s enough.”
“But...”
“What does everyone else think? Can Vul participate in the party?”
The chef looked around at everyone’s faces. The first person to raise their voice was Kirby. “He can!” He shouted, raising both of his hands. “It’ll be more delicious if everyone eats together! Now come and sit down, Vul!”
The passengers looked at each other before responding.
“Well, him hiding the sugar was pretty awful…”
“He said he’s sorry, so I’ll forgive him.”
“It’s as Kirby said, sweets are better when eaten together!”
Similar comments rose up, but Vul’s face didn’t lighten up.
“…I’m glad that you say that, but… it’s humiliating as the captain of the Halberd…”
“Of course, you will have to be punished.” Meta Knight said.
“…I am prepared to accept it.”
“Starting tomorrow, you are forbidden from eating sweets.”
Vul, who had been hanging his head, shot up in shock. “No… sweets…?”
“It’ll also help with your diet so you can kill two birds with one stone.”
“Y… yeah…” Vul blinked. “But if I’m forbidden from eating sweets, then I can’t participate in the party today, right…?”
“Meta Knight said “tomorrow”. You can participate in the party today!” Chef Kawasaki said.
“B…but…!”
In response to Vul’s complex expression, the chef replied. “It’ll be fine. I made a lot of snacks that you can eat even if you are on a diet. I’ve made tofu cake, coconut milk agar, and other delicious dessert recipes that won’t make you fat!”
“…what?! Tofu cake… agar…!?”
Vul trembled as if he was struck by lightning.
“D…desserts like that exist…?!”
“Yeah! So you should participate in the party!”
“U… uu… you have my gratitude… thank you so much, Chef Kawasaki!”
“If that’s what you’ve decided, then let’s start right now! Cheers, everyone!” King Dedede said.
Everyone raised their glasses full of juice.
“Cheers! Cheers!”
“Thank you, Kirby, and to Capsule J2 as well!”
Tumblr media
“I don’t remember much about what happened… but it was something amazing, right?” Capsule J2 said, embarrassed.
“Yeah, it was amazing!”
“It was thanks to you that Kirby was able to have enough strength to do it!”
“You’re the greatest!”
“It’s not just Kirby and Capsule J2 we should be grateful for, we should also thank the crew of the Pupupu Train. We would not be successful if it wasn’t for them.” Meta Knight said.
Everyone shouted in agreement.
“That’s right! Thank you, driver, conductor, and maid!”
“Snacks have been delivered to the cabin. I have a message from the driver. He said “Thank you very much for using the Pupupu Train. Although there was a slight incident, the train will continue its trip unhindered.”.” Bandana Waddle Dee said.
The passengers smiled and applauded.
“It’s not just the crew of the train, but I’d also like to thank York. He carefully wrapped a blanket around me so I didn’t get hurt.” Waddle Doo said.
“Same here. That guy went to each cabin one by one to make sure all the passengers were safe. I don’t like him, but I’d like to thank him anyway.” Bonkers added.
Everyone saw York sitting in the corner of the room.
The maid spoke up. “I’m really glad that no one was hurt, president. President… um… president?”
Even when he was called out to, York didn’t respond. In contrast to the joyful passengers, he seemed devastated, not even participating in the cheers and just mumbling to himself.
“The cargo hold… it took so much effort to collect those slumbercumbers…!”
Hearing this, King Dedede threw his head back. “Too bad for you. Your moneymaking scheme has collapsed!”
“…”
“That means you can’t do anything bad!”
York was completely depressed and continued to talk to himself.
“But… there’s one box… only the box that was carried to the kitchen was safe…”
No one was listening to his monologue anymore. Everyone was smiling and chatting as they ate the cakes that were brought in one after another. However, Meta Knight was the only one staring at him with sharp eyes.

『Kirby Super Star』 Capsule J
Tumblr media
Like most characters you encounter in the Kirby franchise, Capsule J is both an adversary and an ally for the players. Capsule-J made it's first and only appearance in 1996's Kirby Super Star. If inhaled by Kirby, the pink poof copies their jet ability.
Tumblr media
In 2008, a remake of Capsule-J's debut game, Kirby Super Star Ultra was released. While this remake brings back all of the copy abilities from the original version including jet, Capsule-J doesn't make an appearance.
Tumblr media
So then how does Kirby acquire the jet ability in Super Star Ultra? Enter, Capsule-J2. Capsule-J2 most assuredly replaces Capsule-J because of the latter's resemblance to Konami's Twin Bee character.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Capsule-J comes from a different era of video games where titles like The Revenge of Shinobi would outright copy designs from well known characters like the Terminator, Batman, Godzilla, Spider-Man and Rambo.
Tumblr media
Three years after his debut, Capsule-J2 would reappear in Kirby Mass Attack. Five years after that, a third jet character, Capsule J3, would appear in 2016's Kirby∶ Planet Robobot. This tidbit from WiKirby.com may give us a clue as to why Hal Laboratory felt the need to reintroduce yet another "Capsule" character∶
In Kirby Super Star Ultra, the internal filename for Capsule J2 is "capsulej", suggesting that Capsule J2 may have replaced Capsule J late in development. Additionally, it appears that Capsule J2's sprites used Capsule J as a base, since the lower half of it resembles an edited version of the original sprite. In Kirby∶ Mass Attack, its file specifies "j2".
So, it may be that HAL Laboratory was never satisfied with J2's appearance because they might've been quickly thrown together midway through development. As such, when it came time to model a 3D character with the jet ability for Planet Robobot, they opted to outright replace J2 with J3. This is all just speculation on my part, though!

J2 JIB11 Panel
The stars aligned and this year both boys were able to attend JIB which means we got a j2 panel! 🙌
There was a cute and funny moment at the beginning of the panel because Jared went to give Jensen a fist bump but he didn't notice and I guess Jared told him and he cracked up laughing and then they fist bumped. Jared shares that their flight got delayed, and that morning he was signing something and a fan asked him how he was and he replied that he was good that he actually felt awake even though he didn't look it and she just went "oh, i know. your face" 😆 To be fair, both of them do look and sound tired.
Also, you'll notice both are wearing Gucci jackets, they were a gift to them and M from Daniela the organizer of this event.
Jumping into the questions, first one up is: Has there ever been a moment on set where they had to overcome their, or one of, their greatest fears to shoot the scene? For Jared the thing that comes to mind is French Mistake. He says it's one of the most nervous times he's been on the spn set due to all the comedic stuff. He didn't feel comfortable doing comedy as Sam, so he would get really nervous when Sam had to be funny because he was like "Sam’s not really funny he’s kind of just chill". He got really nervous shooting some of the comedic scenes but that otherwise it was pretty fun even the stunt stuff. 
Jensen agress and says he doesn’t think there was ever a greatest fear moment while they were filming spn. That they’re doing network tv which is pretty tame in the world of television and they don’t really write stuff that he thinks would be too out of their comfort zone, and after a few seasons the writers knew what their comfort zone was and kind of played in that and utilized it. He was more uncomfortable doing stuff in The boys.
Jared says he looked comfortable, and Jensen replies "it’s called acting dear boy. I was not comfortable". He says that he was very nervous in a few of those scenes, so much so that he called his mom and told her she'd want to skip the show, that she was not the target audience.
Jared asks him if he has ever shared the story about him calling Kripke and saying he was unsure about some things. He has. Jensen says there were a few scenes he was asked to do that he didn't know he had a line but Kripke found it and Jensen couldn't cross it, he has children who may grow up and see this. Says he thinks there was supposed to be more revealed when Soldier Boy was revealed for the first time and there was supposed to be a little bit more intimacy when Soldier Boy had his fun with the ladies. And he once again shares about how his first day on set, the very first scene he had to film was stepping out of the capsule in front of his new cast and crew butt naked.
Jared makes a joke that he has some of the behind the scenes stuff and he’ll post it later and Jensen quips no pun intended 🤣 We know you do baby 😏
Jared also adds that the most nervous he ever got on the set of spn for another person was the scene where Sam gets hit by a car. It wasn’t him, and their stunts while not dangerous were intense but they felt they could take the hit or do whatever but when his stunt man Mike Carpenter did that scene, he had short hair so they put a bald cap on him and put like a thick liquid padding and then the Sam wig and that’s all he had covering his skull for getting hit by a car. And with this type of stunt there's no way to really control it like the way you land, you just have to try your best not to land on your skull. So they do it the first time, they're watching it wondering if he's gonna get up he does, then the second time his foot got caught on the bumber and he got dragged, and the third time he got up and usually stunt actors and actresses they can have like a broken bone and still say they're all good and ask if they need to do it again but this time he got up and said he was done.
Going back to The Boys, Jensen tells the story about how there's a scene where he picks up Karl Urban's character Butcher, throws him over his head and slams him into a desk, obviously this was done with a stunt guy who was wired up cause Jensen's supposed to be super strong flinging this dude over his body with one arm. So at the appex which is when he's right above Jensen's head, they let the wires lose and Jensen actually slammed him as hard as he could into the desk, they’re not slowing the guy down and the first time he did it Jensen was surprised and was like "omg are you okay???" The dude popped back up, said he was fine, to do it again to which Jensen was like ' I don't wanna' but they did and once Jensen got used to it he felt like a beast. x
What's the stupidest injury they’ve ever got on any set? Jared asks, "how much time you got?"
Jensen says they both have a list of these but the first that comes to mind he thinks it was Wendigo, when he was pulling the gun out of the back of the Impala- Jared corrects him this injury actually happened during Hook Man. Basically, he was grabbing a riffle and he pulled it from the center of the gun and the butt of it got caught on the edge of the trunk and the barrel came up and hit him on the eye, and split him open. He says it was pretty stupid and self inflected too so he has no one to blame but himself.
Jared tells the story of how when they filmed the scene where Leviathan!Sam and Dean rob the bank, they’re supposed to fire off some rounds to get everyone’s attention but his gun was too high so it was out of frame and couldn't be seen so he was asked to keep it lower so he did thing is this is a gun he had never shot before- Jensen says that if it had been a normal gun Jared would have been fine but that this one was a weird russian fully automatic machine gun. Anyways, they do the next take with Jared holding it lower and as he starts firing, something is hurting, he can immediately feel something is wrong so he stops and says he thinks he has to do something different and he looks over at Jensen who's kinda looking at him- Jared had managed to burn himself with the hot brass casings as they were ejecting so he had a bunch of ash burn marks, some of which were bleeding from the impact, across his face. Jared also mentions that it was happening so fast that if it had been a bit lower it would have gone right into his eyeball. Let's all be thankful that did not happen! But also, Jared, how are you going to say y'alls stunts weren't dangerous and then tell stories like this.
Also, right before he tells this story he tells Jensen that he's going to know right away where he's going with this and he's right because the moment he says Leviathan!Sam and Dean in the bank Jensen laughs and says this is one of his favorite Jared bonehead moves, and when Jared is telling the story Jensen says that what he loves is that Jared kept going even though he was being hit in the face. x
If they were to attend a con to meet people who would their dream guests to meet be? Jared says this question is similar to the question of if you could have dinner with somebody who would it be, and his initial response to that is are they going to be honest like if he met Obama or some other world leader would they tell him the truth or would they give him canned answers. He thinks he would probably go mostly to musicians, like Eddie Vedder, he thinks actors bore him cause he is one. He finds himself boring so he feels like the soundtrack of his life is what he would go to; Jensen agrees, he goes with musicians as well even though they don’t really do cons that's more an actor thing to do that being said he thinks Keanu Reeves is an interesting guy. He’s trying to think of who he would want to listen to answer questions and speak about things involved in the industry, he wouldn't mind listening to some of the Marvel cast like RDJ strictly for curiosity purposes not like 'omg Iron Man!' but because he thinks RDJ is an interesting fellow who as a lot of interesting things to say about topics he could related to so he would do it more out of curiosity. x
Would they talk about their tattoos?
Jensen says he hasn’t gotten anything new in a while the latest was a little thumb one he got with JDM. Basically they were at a friends (he doesn't mention her by name but Sophia Bush) wedding in Oklahoma and D and Hil were doing something with the bride which meant they had the afternoon free so naturally as one does with JDM you go for beer and tattoos. Jensen says Jared has gotten a few more than he has recently.
Jared replies there’s a few on the list he hasn’t gotten yet, but he has the basquiat crown with JDM and Jensen which they got at JDM's wedding, the day after spn finished he got one with his friend Bruce which is like a geometric design that when asked about what it is he jokes it’s an iphone update it didn't actually have a meaning it's just a random design that he liked how it looked, a star on his bicep, a "come and take it" kind of thing which he says is really cool because he thinks a month later after he got it come and take it become a women’s right thing in Texas, and he also has an homage to Dr. Seuss story Oh, the Places You'll Go! with a T for Tom, A for Austin which is Shep's name and a little moon for Odette.
They ask if the fan has any tattoos, she does, she has an AKF one and also one for the band A-ha who sing Take On Me and Jared comments he and Jensen have both tried and failed to do the high note from that song. I would love to have seen that. x
If they were to go to comic con and dress up, what would they dress up as? Jensen says his go to would be Red Hood and Batman since he already has those costumes, but the fan says besides those and as he's thinking Jared says Bullwinkle 😂 And Jensen laughs and says, yeah, Rocky and Bullwinkle. I would pay money to see them dress up as Rocky and Bullwinkle 🤣
Jared also says Boba fett, he’d like something with a mask cause he’d like the experience of being around people who are passionate about stuff and not have it be flavored by like "aren’t you that guy who was on Gilmore Girls?” Jensen says he'd go as the screen character cause that just seems very comfortable.  x
What has made them remain best friends for so long? The boys joke, Jared saying it's been way too long and Jensen saying that for the most part it’s been contractual 😂
Jared says it's never been bullshit. Since day one they’ve gotten along and the why? Who knows. They have a similar up bringing and background and likes and dislikes and he thinks primarily it's that they got to see each other during their highs and lows. They went through a lot, 15yrs is kindergarten through college and he saw Jensen and what he was going through more than any other human being on the planet and vice versa Jensen saw Jared and what he was going through, his good times, his bad times, everything in between and so you kind of get to really know the soul of somebody not just who they are at their best. You go to a set anywhere you'll probably enjoy most of the people for the first couple of hours, then they get tired or they've had a bad day and they're an asshole or a jerk but he thinks for them it was just like 'hey, you all right?' That it's like they've known each other since birth even though they've actually known each other less than 20yrs. They kind of had a fastforwarded into the fire and they had each other's back and he guesses that's why, that he wishes he knew. Jared, my darling, you just described soulmates! That person who from the moment you meet you feel like you've known them your whole life with whom you have a connection and a bond that you can't explain- that's your soulmate! 🥹
Jensen thinks there's also that SPN is the biggest thing that has happened to their careers so far, and arguably it's one of the biggest things that has happened to their lives, it's certainly changed both their lives from pre-SPN to now and to have another person understand the multitude of levels on how that changed your life to the degree in which he and Jared know each other he thinks it kind of bonds you in a way that's really indescribable. Nobody understands what his life has been like for the past almost 2 decades more than Jared does because he was pretty much right next to him the whole time and he was also going through the same stuff both personally and professionally that Jensen was going through and that really bonds people in a way that's really indescribable. And that it's a good thing they got along and that they laugh at the same jokes, and like the same music, and cheer for the same sports teams that there's just a lot in common thankfully so when they were put in that situation where they were gonna be side by side for as long as they were it was really easy and enjoyable.
Jared also comments that he thinks in general, not just with working relationships or friendships, but with romantic relationships as well or family relationships he thinks it's extremely important to be able to tell somebody when something hurt you or bothered you, and vice versa to listen when someone goes like 'hey, this happened and it felt off base or it didn't feel cool' and for that person to listen cause if you're really good friends with anybody or are close with anybody you'll have disagreeements and you'll go 'well, here's where I'm coming from, help me to understand where you're coming from' and you'll listen and be like 'got it, let's move forward. ' So it's important just with anybody that you care about to shoot straight. x
A big part of acting is dealing with rejection how do they both deal with keeping motivation in trying to act when getting rejected? Jared says this reminds him of a story of when he was still on Gilmore Girls.
He was auditioning like half a dozen times a week for other projects, and he had bought a house in the valley in LA, and a friend of his then girlfriend came over for like a housewarming party and he was showing her around and by his bed in his bedroom he had a stack of 12 or 15 scripts all stuff he was reading and hoping to get an audition for, and she looked over and asked if those were all the auditions he'd been on, Jared kind of laughed and told her to follow him and walked her over to the garage where he had cardboard boxes full of scripts. He had 300 to 400 scripts of auditions he had been on in the past 3 to 4 years.
He thinks the way he deal with rejection now is to treat auditions or meetings as maybe it’s my performance, maybe this is my chance to play this character and also now that he and Jensen have been on the producing side he realizes how silly casting sometimes gets, there can be 5 people who do an amazing job but they're going to be acting with a brunette and they don't want them to look to similar so they decide to go with a blonde or vice versa, or someone is 5'11 and that's too tall to play a 14 year old because they'll be acting with someone whose 5'3 so it comes down to random things. And that's helped a little bit, seeing the vagaries of casting and subtle nuances that don't even really make sense so he tries to go 'all right, I do my best and if that's the last time I get to play the character then so be it'. (sidenote: Jared pulling out the fancy words, first time in my life hearing the word vagaries)
Jensen says he thinks as one gets older your way of dealing with rejection changes. He and Jared have had really great succes so far in their lives and in their career so when there's rejection now he thinks they can both stand firm on the fact that they've been validated by a multitude of people and their career reflects that so that if somebody says 'no, we don't want you for that role' or 'no, we don't like that idea for a show that you're pitching' they'd be like okay, maybe it's not the right time, maybe they just don't see that vision, maybe they're looking for something else- at this point he quips that maybe they want somebody that's not so oddly tall and Jared quips back or oddly bowlegged 😆 But also that as Jared said knowing what they know about being on the other side of it has really kind of drawn the curtain back and see how a lot of times how ridiculous this process can be in getting to that final stage. So, he thinks they deal with it a little differently now. That early on, when they didn't have that affirmation to kind of rely on it was just thick skin, you had to develop thick skin, somebody says you're not good enough you had to know in your heart that you were good enough and that person just didn't see it. x
Last question, what does Dean mean to Jared and what does Sam mean to Jensen? Jared starts to answer that now, after a couple of years of spn being over cause it's been around two and a half years since they finished filming and I guess the fan thought Jared was throwing an indirect about asking this question after spn has been over for a while so they say it's because this question was prepared a long time ago, and Jared has to clarify that's not what he meant- it was actually a little funny, the fan didn't say it in a rude way or anything like that more like a clarification.
But anyways, Jared says he has more hindsight now and that he'd rather answer this question now than 2 or 3 years ago so where he stands now it's difficult for him to try and differentiate what Dean meant and what Jensen meant all he can say is that he learned a lot from both and a lot of the reason he's the man that he is and the actor he is is because he spent 15yrs looking at Jensen and then they're calling action and he was looking at Dean so it's hard to kind of really parse out exactly what he got- says he got his dad voice from Dean to which Jensen says that so has he, Jared continues saying he learned every step of the way and he thinks it was really exciting. That a lot of what he really liked about Dean was his keep going attitude and that's very similar to Jensen kind of like 'yeah, this sucks but we gotta get through it' or 'all right, we're tired it's 16hrs, it's 4am, it's raining or freezing in Vand and we have to do a fight scene but all right it ain't gonna do itself let's go do it' so that kind of evoked something in him.
Jensen concurs that it's the same for him but also that he knows Sam is a part of Jared, that Sam resides in Jared's personality so getting to see as many times as he did Jared bring that element of himself forward and then take on the embodiment of Sam was like getting to see a specific micro aspect of Jared and how he can mold that and play with that and tell the story using that and he's always thought that he was very gifted in doing so and now he's doing it with another character. He thinks he and Jared, because they weren't classically trained as actors and didn't have any formal training to speak of at all they had to learn to use what they knew and that's essentially themselves, Dean is certainly a part of his personality that is exaggerated, Sam is also a part of Jared's personality that is exaggerated so they got to play this kind of exagerated versions of themselves with each other and then they'd yell cut and they'd go back to being themselves so he really feels it's just part of the package that he got with Jared and he'll forever be grateful for that and he looks forward to the next time he gets to see him morph into Sam. Those are lovely answers 💕

After three days (More if necessary, but I will see what the results look like), I can start making the brackets, and the tournament can begin!
The ships that are getting submitted during this preliminary round are:
Taransusie (3 submissions)
Sailorgala (2 submissions)
Magoranza (2 submissions)
Metalor (2 submissions)
Magochilly (Rarepair status contentional?)
Morphogala (Rarepair status contentional)
This DOES NOT mean that they're out of the tournament! If more people agree that they're rarepairs, they'll be included in the brackets! I understand my views of these ships and my exposure to them may be different to the average Kirby fan, hence allowing for public opinion to decide!
If you disagree with any of these, please drop me an ask! I'll respond best I can, but I am but one teen doing this in his free time, hah!

KSSU Helpers hcs
Knuckle Joe: Muai Tai master. Son of the deceased Star Warrior, Jecra. Pretty intense demeanor, stubborn, whatever is set on his head, is set. Decided to ally with Kirby to compensate for what happened in the anime.
Parasol Dee: Weathergirl. Grew around older siblings, parents were never around. Pretty chill personality, a little of a pushover. Doesn't wear anything else that isn't rain clothes. Met Kirby after he took her away from a storm.
Chilly: Former demon beast. Used to be cold and vindictive, but after his redemption he remained pretty silent and awkward. Literally cannot socialize, but has been getting better at it. Also joined Kirby to help redeem himself. 
Blade Knight: Knight. Orphan. Sword's best friend. Rescued by Meta Knight and swore to serve him for life. Skilled mechanic. Sometimes gets confused for a man. Pretty fun to hang around and has a good sense of humor, on the other hand, she's a little more indecisive and compassionate than Sword.
Simirror: Witch and part time aesthetician. Comes from Halfmoon. Orphan. Pretty knowledgeable, sassy, down-to-earth and vain. In spite of her vanity she's a little insecure about her small nose. Obsessed with having mirrors around. Met Kirby in strange circumstances, Simirror was carrying a hand mannequin and accidentally poked Kirby in the eye, compensated him with a haircut.
Sir Kibble: Gladiator. The oldest of the helper group. Read so much about gladiators he decided that was his path. Pretty serious demeanor but also unintentionally funny, huge quixote complex. "Saved" Kirby from a gordo (See saved as in: Kirby wasn't even near it. Kirby just rolled along with it)
Plasma Wisp: Physicist. The only helper with acquired powers. Got his powers after fucking around with plasma related experiments. Very neat and professional, mild demeanor, some consider him "boring". Met Kirby after he gave him back some important papers he though lost.
Waddle doo: Military brat. Commander W. Doo's son. Nicer than his dad, often more anxious and hectic. Has the beam abilities unlike his dad. Grew around dees and behaves as such (much to his dad's dismay). Kirby met him when he (Doo) came back to the castle and was shocked to even consider CWD having a son.
Poppy bros Jr.: Circus performer. The baby of the helpers' group. Basically doomed to recieving cheek pinching all the time (even in KSA, when he's in his teens). Poppy Bros Sr. is his father. Met Kirby because Poppy Sr. wanted them to be playmates.
GIM: Yo-yo master and Dancer. Native from Mekkai. The very definition of cool, a fun guy to hang with overall, a perfectionist with his skills. Wears a sort of exoskeleton on his left hand because of nerve damage, jokes about being a cyborg because of that. Kirby met him in one of his performances, GIM slipped and nearly fell over Kirby; Kirby helped him to get back up.
Birdon: Junior aviator (even though he doesn't fly planes but he flies with his wings). His family only consists of his dad, (an absent) mom and a little sister. Very dedicated, somewhat nervous and naive but very sweet guy overall. Met Kirby pretty late in comparison to the other helpers, KSSU was already happening, Birdon helped to reach his destination to the mountain in which Dyna Blade lived.
Bio Spark: Ninja. Native from Cavius. Raised on a monastery. Never liked his parents since they worked for a lot of shady people, leaving him largely unprotected. Mostly mysterious, a man of few words, gives off an air of intensity; has been opening up more but not much. Bio Spark's first encounter with Kirby was unfortunate, he scared the hero by accident after coming out of seemingly nowhere and took him a while to convince him that he wasn't gonna do anything bad.
Bonkers: Ex-circus performer. Worked in the same circus as Poppy bros Jr. eventually quit and now he goes around doing a lot of odd jobs. Doesn't know where his family is. Of intense demeanor and often demanding, which makes him come off as aggressive; he's also very awkward and taciturn. Initially met Kirby during the anime events because he was a big fan of him.
Burning Leo: Former aristocrat, his whole family is of fallen aristocracy. Native from Fire Star. Has a lot of siblings, around 10. In spite of his status, he doesn't make it his whole deal, pretty humble; very hotheaded and impulsive, is also a bit of a casanova. Met Kirby when he helped him to get out of a deep puddle he accidentally felt into.
Capsule J2: Engineer. Like GIM, hails from Mekkai. Sister to Capsule J. Born into a family of mechanics, mostly specialized in aircraft. Generally pretty excitable but still a tough cookie. Was saved by Kirby after a failed test with a jetpack.
Bugzzy: Another demon beast. Was created and forced to participate in illegal fights. Has a body count, deeply scarred as a result of this. Very gruff, cynical and somewhat awkward. Escaped from N.M.E. headquarters all by himself to seek for a new life and re-encountered Kirby in the process.
TAC: Self acclaimed Dreamland's Robin Hood equivalent. Raised in a very poor family. Very bitter towards those who live lavish lifestyles while others live without footwear. Decided to steal as a sort of "payback", he does have good intentions but is mislead. How he met Kirby is a bit odd, but basically TAC tried to steal from him and Kirby was having none of it (they are on good terms tho).
Wheelie: Biker. Raised by a family of men only. Grew up in a sort of ghetto part of Dreamland. Very tough and impatient, lives life fast. Saved Kirby from being run over by a vehicle. Appeared later to save him from the failing Halberd.
Rocky: Weightlifter. Pretty fun and boisterous but has a serious discipline an army would envy. Grew up in the Great Cave but stayed on the surface because he liked it better. Helped Kirby to get out of the cave safely since he knows the cave by heart.
Sword Knight: Knight. Orphan. Blade's best friend. Just like Blade, got saved by MK and now he's at debt for life. Expert blacksmith. Very serious, doesn't smile often (Blade is one of the few people who can make him laugh), very straightforward and can be somewhat arrogant.

My favorite Kirby characters, everyone else can go home. I'm sad capsule j2 didn't make it to star allies, and well...I don't think dark matter is ever happening as a dream friend either, but I can dream can't I?

Kirby: Mysterious Incident on the Pupupu Train! - Chapter 8: The Pupupu Train's Great Pinch!
Previous Chapter
Everyone stood speechless. The only person who spoke was York.
“Th… that’s not possible… he’s the greatest driver in the galaxy…!”
“There’s no mistake about it, since this comes from the driver himself! We will soon collide with the meteor!” The conductor replied in a strong tone.
“Soon…!?”
York fell onto the sofa, seeming to have fainted again.
“We can do something, can’t we?! But how…!? I got it! Meta Knight! Evacuate all the passengers to your battleship!” King Dedede shouted.
“The Halberd is anchored in Dream Land. It won’t get here in time.” Meta Knight answered in a dark voice.
“Kuh… well… isn’t there any other option…!?”
“Destroy the meteor! We just gotta wreck it before it can crash into us!” Knuckle Joe shouted.
“Sounds like a great plan, Knuckle Joe! I’ll be the one to go then! It’ll take a single hit from my hammer!” Bonkers said.
“If we’re talking about hammers, then I’m up! Just leave it all to me!” Dedede shouted, having cheered up.
“…that’s right! Kirby, inhale me!” Burning Leo yelled.
Kirby blinked in response to that sudden outburst.
“Huh?”
“That way, you’ll be able to use the Fire Copy Ability! The strong flames will be able to burn the meteor!”
The other passengers also began to raise their voices.
“Inhale me! My freezing breath can freeze the meteor!”
“No way! My bomb throw can destroy it!”
“Incorrect! My kunai shuriken split the meteor in two!”
Everyone was desperately trying to get through this great problem.
“Let’s go, Kirby!” Meta Knight said.
“Huh? Do you want me to inhale you, Meta Knight?”
“That’s not what I mean! Let’s go to the cabin!”
“The cabin…”
“I want to talk to the driver. I’d like to hear his opinion on what would be the best way to destroy the meteor.”
Upon saying that, Meta Knight flipped his cape back and left the dining car.
“I got it!”
“Wait! I’m going with you!”
Kirby and King Dedede quickly followed after Meta Knight.
Tumblr media
~~~~~~~~
The driver stared at the screen with large drops of sweat on his forehead. However, the distance of the meteor was gradually shrinking.
“…there’s nothing that can be done… there’s no time left… what should I do… what should I do…?”
As he grumbled, he heard a voice from behind him.
“What can we do to avoid the meteor?”
It was Meta Knight.
“I’m thinking of how to do that! Don’t interrupt me!” The driver shouted.
“Kirby can probably help with it.”
“Mr. Kirby can?”
The driver looked back.
“No way, can he drive?”
“Nope!” Kirby replied in a serious voice. “I can’t drive a train!”
The driver sighed and turned to face forward again.
“Then leave. I’d like to concentrate.”
“But I might be able to destroy the meteor!”
“What did you say…?”
The driver turned around again and stared doubtfully at Kirby.
“How can you destroy a giant meteor like that? If you destroy it, you can’t do it without breaking into hundreds of pieces!”
He pointed to the screen. On it was the approaching meteor, the Pupupu Train, and the tracks.
“It’s bigger than I imagined. Even someone as grand as me can’t do it… it’s even impossible for Kirby with a Copy Ability…” Dedede growled aloud.
Kirby raised his eyes and looked at the screen. It was just as the driver and King Dedede said. Even if he tried with all his might, destroying a meteor as big as this one would be impossible. Plus, the distance between it and the Pupupu Train was getting shorter and shorter…!
“I can’t use Hammer… I can’t use Fighter… I can’t burn it with Fire… same with Ice…”
Hearing Kirby’s mumbling, the driver spoke with an impatient voice.
“Anyway, I’ll do my best to solve it. I’d like to concentrate, so please leave me be.”
But Kirby did not move. He was staring so hard at the screen, as if he could be sucked into it.
“Can’t use Ninja… nor Cutter… Sword…”
“Mr. Kirby, please….!”
Meta Knight softly grabbed Kirby’s hand. “Let’s go, Kirby. The driver is desperately trying to figure out a way to stop this, and we don’t want to interrupt him.”
Dedede also spoke up. “Let’s go back to the dining car. Everyone’s probably worried if I’m not there.”
However, Kirby did not move.
“Beam can’t… Mic can’t… Wheel can’t… none of those…”
The meteor grew closer. Kirby let out a gasp.
“I got it…if we can’t destroy the meteor… how about we jump over it?!” Kirby shouted, his voice as bouncy as he was.
The driver was dumbfounded. “…huh? Just what do you…?”
“We jump over it! We rush towards the meteor, and BOING!”
The driver shook his head. “What are you saying…?”
“That’s it.” Meta Knight raised his voice. “That just might be able to help. Kirby, do you know how to make it jump?”
“I’m gonna lift the train!” Kirby replied with a cheerful voice. “And then I’m gonna jump with all my might! Just as the meteor is about to collide, I’ll jump!”
“There’s no way you’d be able to do that. Do you know how much power you’d need…?” The driver asked with a troubled look. But then King Dedede spoke up. “…there’s a better chance with that than destroying the meteor.”
“Right?!”
“Driver, would you mind lending Kirby your strength?” Meta Knight said.
“Huh?”
Meta Knight advanced to look at the screen.
“Just before the meteor hits the tracks, we make it float. And then when we avoid collision, we return it to the line.” It had sounded like his voice regained its strength. “Kirby will be the one to make the train float. Your job will be to stabilize the car body when it returns to the track. Do you think you can do that?”
“What…what are you…?” The driver was stunned. “Make the train float…? How…?”
“I’ll do my best and carry the train! What do you think!?” Kirby answered happily.
“Can… can you… really do something like that…”
The driver stared at Kirby. When he saw his straight face, he let out a sigh and glanced towards the screen. At that moment, the meteor was getting closer and closer.
“…I understand. I’ll believe in Mr. Kirby. It doesn’t matter how heavy the car is, I’ll make sure it gets stabilized when it returns to the track.”
“Really?”
“Yeah. Let’s work together. Take this if you need to speak to me.”
The driver handed Kirby a small device.
“What’s this?”
“It’s a communication device. Put it on and you’ll be able to talk to me. Let’s talk to each other and match up our timings.”
“Okay!”
Kirby ran off enthusiastically towards the dining car.
~~~~~~~~
“Do your best! Hang in there!” Kirby jumped into the dining car shouting.
The passengers there, who had been looking at each other with worried looks, heard Kirby’s voice and shouted back.
“Kirby, do you have a plan!?”
“I’m ready to go! Now, inhale me, Kirby!”
“Get outta here, you won’t help! Inhale me, Kirby!”
The passengers surrounded Kirby.
Kirby shouted. “Capsule J2, please lend me your strength!”
“…huh?”
Capsule J2, who had been behind everyone, was surprised. He wasn’t as strong as Bonkers or Knuckle Joe, which was why he thought that it wasn’t his place to get involved and kept quiet about being inhaled.
“Me? But why…?”
“We’re gonna use a jet to jump over the shooting star!”
Kirby raised both his hands.
“Jump over a shooting star…I have no idea what you mean but… ok, as long as I can help! Inhale me, Kirby!” Capsule J2 said in a bewildered manner.
“Thank you, Capsule J2!”
Kirby opened his mouth and took a deep inhaling breath. Capsule J2 flew through the air and into Kirby’s mouth. Immediately, his form changed. He now had a jet-like helmet on his head and a jet tank on his back. This was the Jet Ability, which allowed him to fly! …but upon seeing Kirby’s form, the other passengers complained.
Tumblr media
“Capsule J2? The Jet Copy Ability?”
“There’s no strength! It won’t do anything against the meteor!”
“You really should’ve inhaled me, Kirby!”
Kirby shook off what everyone was saying and opened the window to the dining car as everyone hurried to stop him.
“Hold it! What are you doing, Kirby?!”
“Don’t you know that there’s no way that Jet is gonna destroy the meteor…?!”
“Nope! Everything will be fine!”
Kirby kicked the window frame and jumped out into the infinite space!
~~~~~~~~
The meteor was gradually approaching. Kirby stood crouched down on the front of the train, just above the cabin. He took a deep breath and reached down to the edges of the vehicle, and clenched onto it with both hands.
“Give me your power… give me your power…”
Little by little, Kirby’s face turned red.
~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile, inside the car, Meta Knight gave out instructions.
“This isn’t good. Everyone, return to your rooms and prepare for impact.”
“Got it!”
Everyone returned to their rooms. The maid woke up York.
“President, this isn’t a place you should sleep. Return to your room for your own safety!”
York slowly opened his eyes. “For… my own safety…? Wh-what have I awoken to…?”
He didn’t seem to understand what was going on. He shook his head with a blank expression.
“What happened? What about the meteor…?”
“We’re going to jump.” Meta Knight answered.
“Huh? Going to… jump… over it…?”
“There’s no time to explain. Return to your room. As a countermeasure, wrap yourself in a blanket and fix it to something so it won’t blow away.”
“I’ll go help the guest. There are some spare blankets we can hand out!” The maid said.
“Please do. Then ensure your own safety when you are done helping them.”
“Understood!”
As the maid was going to leave, she was called out to by York.
“W-wait! Hold it!”
“President, please protect yourself! You are as important as the guests! Now, please excuse me.” The maid replied sharply and turned around.
York wobbled as he walked. “It’s better if we split up. You take the passengers in the back of the train, and I’ll take care of the ones in the front.”
“Understood!”
The maid and York both ran out of the dining car.
“That York, I thought he would be the type to push away his customers in regards for his own safety over others, but it seems I was wrong.” Axe Knight uttered, surprised.
“He got involved with smuggling due to the prospect of money making, but maybe he’s a hard worker at heart.” Trident Knight said.
“No matter how hard he works, I can’t forgive him for trying to make money off such dangerous vegetables. I absolutely hate it!” Javelin Knight said.
Vul was the last to speak. “There’s no time to chat. We’ve also got to return to our room and keep ourselves safe!”
“Yes, sir!”
Hearing Captain Vul’s taut voice for the first time in a while put the Meta Knights in high spirits and they ran at full speed down the hallway.

Name: Rolling Turtle
Debut: Kirby’s Adventure
If you are a Kirby Fan, you may already know what this is all about! Rolling Turtle is sort of a laughingstock. A poor shmuck. It is just not Rolling Turtle’s day. It has not been for nearly 30 years, and probably never will be again. Sorry!
Tumblr media
I don’t think Rolling Turtle did anything wrong. It is just a funny creature. A goofy turtle, and even sillier in the sprite, where it is oh so round, its shell making up most of its shape! The buck teeth are silly, too, and make me think of a turtle’s egg tooth, which I like to think about. Rolling Turtle is capable of rolling, and it rolls indeed. It rolls to, and even fro! It can grab Kirby and roll back and forth, or it can even throw little projectiles!
Tumblr media
The projectiles are, these! What are they? Well...
Tumblr media
Babies! Little Rolling Turtles! These are so funny. I know that’s PROBABLY not just one eye, and is probably meant to be a shine effect, but it looks so much like just one eye. They easily COULD have put two little eyes there!
Tumblr media
See? Easy. Now I kind of want to think that is one eye, actually. Anyway, Rolling Turtle throws its own babies as an attack which is certainly nothing new for video game enemies, and nothing shocking for the Kirby series, occurring with other mid-bosses in this very game, who are doing just fine today. This could not have been Rolling Turtle’s crime. Don’t worry. I will get to Rolling Turtle’s ambiguous crime.
Tumblr media
While not criminal, this room in Kirby’s Adventure is certainly infamous! An optional Rolling Turtle confrontation in an extremely basic square room, but with some water covering the ground, making moving quite inconvenient. Keep in mind that this is optional, though. You’re the one who decides whether to barge in and challenge Rolling Turtle. Maybe this is even its house! Maybe it sleeps in this water. Maybe it sleeps with the fishes. Okay, now for the main thing!
Tumblr media
There have been a few enemies in the Kirby series who have been replaced in remakes by new enemies that fulfill the same role. These all have reasonable enough reasons, I think. Bounder probably looked too much like a weird human infant, so it was replaced by Gip, the winged pig blob. Togezo was very similar to Spiny, and nearly IDENTICAL to an enemy from Gimmick!, and was replaced by Needlous, the spiky larva (who also happens to strongly resemble a Gimmick! enemy!). Capsule J looked a whole lot like the title character of Konami’s Twinbee series, so it was replaced by Capsule J2 (who was later replaced by Capsule J3, just to keep up tradition). These all make sense! But there’s someone else who was replaced.
Tumblr media
That’s right! Rolling Turtle was replaced by Phan Phan, a spherical elephant who behaves identically, and throws apples instead of turtles! This change I don’t get. What was wrong with Rolling Turtle? I don’t think anything! I don’t have anything against Phan Phan, but I don’t have anything against Rolling Turtle, either. Poor creature. Erased from history. Sleeping with the fishes. And by that I mean, the fishes from Dream Land 1 who were also erased! But, like with that case, I have a theory.
Tumblr media
This replacement occurred in Nightmare in Dream Land, the remake of Kirby’s Adventure. This game was released close to the time of Right Back At Ya, the Kirby anime, and that was a pretty big thing for the series! The American commercial is in the anime style, and is pretty stupid. Look at this. Kracko is so small. Chilly is so large. Bugzzy does not use weapons in any of the games. Chef Kawasaki is not even in this game at all! Not that I don’t love seeing him, but this is false advertising!
Tumblr media
I bring this all up because Phan Phan appears in the anime, mainly just for one episode, where it befriends Kirby and eats apples. Maybe Phan Phan was originally made for the anime first, and added to the game as a bit of a reference/cross promotion? It would certainly explain the game version’s throwing of apples, which seem like a weird choice of projectile for an elephant.
Anyway, that is the story of Rolling Turtle, who was taken from us too soon. I don’t feel anything too strongly toward Rolling Turtle as a design or character, but did it really deserve this? It didn’t do anything bad. Babies as weapons is fine. But alas. I make this exact joke once more.

Round 1, Set 4, Poll 5!
Tumblr media
Cool Side Character Rumble: Axemace VS BirdoJ2!
Which one's rarer, and which one's pairer? Vote now, for your favourite rarepair!
Propaganda:
Axemace
They're just my silly little guys (on a more serious note, the two most prominent knights during RoMK in terms of dialogue, seemingly good synergy)
[Added by Poll Runner] I think any of the Meta Knights have that strong sense of camaraderie that could become something more. Little guys that end up bonding over battle! Especially in a big guy little guy pairing like this,,
BirdoJ2
Their slogan: Love is in the air!!!! Honestly I don’t have much development about these two. I love them so much, but I think it’s mostly because of them loving to fly. Birdon probably likes artistic flying and mesmerizing sky figures, while Capsule J2 is more focused on the “specs” related to flying, the acceleration, velocity, the fuel, etc. They talk a lot about aviation together <3
