Kid Icarus Uprising VS New Light Myth: Palutena's Mirror Regional Differences

Chapter 1 - The Return of Palutena -

Air Battle - Part 1

Welcome to the start of a series where I will compare the dialogue of KI:U and NLM:PM. Like always English is taken from Linkstsr and Japanese is translated by Milkyflare.

The reason for this series is to compare the regional differences between ENG and JPN, and to see the difference in character and to have an easy access to the dialogue side by side. I'll also have a little bit of commentary for most.

I will also refer to characters by their English names for KI:U, and Japanese Names for NLM:PM.

Since there is a 30 photo limit, I'll be dividing these posts into sections, Air battle Part 1 and 2 and Land Battle for Chapter.

Now, without further ado. Here's the differences.

KI:U

Pit, with his hands clasp together:

Sorry to keep you waiting!

NLM:PM

Pitto, with his fist towards the sky:

Sorry for the wait!

Already we have different sprites, though the dialogue is essentially the same. While both are apologising, Pitto is definitely ready to go.

Pit, in his upbeat pose:

It's been too long, Lady Palutena!

Lady Palutena, in her side-eyed thinking pose:

We can chat later, Pit.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Pitto, in his upbeat pose:

It's our first outing in a while, isn't it Palutena-sama?

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her straightforward pose:

Pit, go forth and do your best.

Lady Palutena (KI:U) is already cutting straight to the chase whereas Palutena-sama (NLM:PM) encourages Pitto a bit. Right now (and further on) we can see how different Palutena is in both version. The Pits both remark it's been a while, Pitto conveys that it has been a while.

Lady Palutena, in her commanding pose:

But now it's time to fight!

KI:U Screenshot 2

Lady Palutena, in her commanding pose:

The Underworld Army's invading!

KI:U Screenshot 3

Pit, in his surprised pose:

Whoa! You weren't kidding!

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Palutena-sama, in her side-eyed thinking pose:

It's sudden, but...

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her sheepish pose:

The Underworld Army has begun to attack

NLM:PM Screenshot 3

Pitto, in his surprised pose:

...That was fast! When did they...?

Lady Palutena cuts to the chase again, taking the situation seriously. Whilst Palutena-sama is a lot more relaxed, which is most evident by her sprites. The Pits are both suprised, though they portray their disbelief differently, Pit being a bit more witty, and Pitto already thinking about the implications.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Lady Palutena, in her straightforward pose:

Uses the L Button to fire.

KI:U Screenshot 2

Lady Palutena, in her straightforward pose:

You can target enemies with the stylus.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Palutena-sama, in her straightforward pose:

You can shoot with the L Button

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her hand on chest happy pose:

Using the touch pen, You can also aim at the enemies

There's even a difference when explaining controls. Both are straightforward until explaining aim, in which Palutena-sama changes sprites.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Pit, in his fist on his chest pose:

If these are Underworld troops, are you saying Medusa's been...

KI:U Screenshot 2

Lady Palutena, in her commanding pose:

Resurrected. Yes.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Pitto, in his fist on his chest pose:

The Underworld Army.... It couldn't be, Medusa has revived?

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Palutena-sama, in her mournful pose:

That seems is to be the case

Once again, the Pits express their disbelief differently, with Pit not daring to finish his thought while Pitto seeks clarification. Lady Palutena is taking it very seriously, being as straightforward as she can. Palutena-sama gives both herself and Pitto a moment.

KI:U Screenshot 1

Depicts Medusa from NES:

Though the goddess of darkness was defeated long ago, she's back now.

KI:U Screenshot 2

Depicts Medusa from NES:

And as the godess of light, it's my duty to protect humanity from her.

NLM:PM Screenshot 1

Depicts Medusa from NES:

Cerainly, Medusa was defeated with the "Three Sacred Treasures"

NLM:PM Screenshot 2

Depicts Medusa from NES:

But, after all, she is the goddess of the Underworld...

Lady Palutena's "long ago" makes it sound like a fairy tale. Also draws attention to the fact its her "duty" to protect humans from Medusa. An interesting view on her role.

Palutena-sams's "after all" feels like a cop-out answer for Medusa's return, giving the players a 'reason' for Medusa return but not explaining.

KI:U

Pit, with his fist towards the sky: Lady Palutena, in her side-eyed thinking pose:

Eh, you worry too much!

NLM:PM

Pitto, with his fist towards the sky: Palutena-sama, in her forward thinking concern pose:

Ahahahaha, Medusa's nothing to be afraid of!!

What's interesting here is that we get to see the Palutenas' poses for when explaining Medusa. Both are in a thinking pose, but while Lady Palutena gives an expression of apathy, Palutena-sama is more concerned/worried.

KI:U

Pit, in his fierce running pose:

Medusa!

NLM:PM

Pitto, in his fierce running pose:

Medusa !!

Not much to say here haha.

Well I've reach 28 photos, and the next couple screenshots go better together, so that's all for now. Hope this is insightful for some!

I think the “aging pit up” time line could me the canceled kid Icarus game. Here are some of the designs.

They… aren’t great I’m pretty sure the entire reason the game was canceled because the developers (who weren’t Nintendo) were just told to use pits brawl design because this was pre uprising and they didn’t use it.

Anyway this makes sense because it seems angels age differently, I personally think that they age about a year every five years (this makes sense if you do the math I’d make a post about it if anyone wants it.) But this is an adult pit, at least 18 and we all know kid Icarus uses real world time so there is no way he’d be this old without the age up ending!

(Taken via Twitter)

Throwback to this theory but I made it into a much more legible chart

take this with a grain of salt because I’m the same person who forgot the Medusa’s revenge short existed yesterday and somebody l̶i̶l̶a̶h̶ had to remind me

Also keep in mind I DO contradict a few sources (mainly about Omam Pit being the captain of her guard already) but tbh that can just be Pit being the captain but feeling like he doesn’t deserve to be (cont.)

And I’m not sure if it’s just me, but the two of them don’t really feel too close from what the manuals are saying. Maybe Pit’s not as much of a respected figure as much in comparison to his rank in Uprising? Not really sure

Thinking about the ending to OMAM, and literally every other timeline that’s not the one we have (uprising) is pretty rough on Pit. Especially OMAM in this case because Pits wings burn/fall off at the end. (Cont.)

If the events of Uprising still happen (Medusa being revived, war w/ FON, etc) that’s..not looking good lol

In summary I’m proposing that Uprising follows the captain ending specifically, and that maybe OMAM follows the solider ending. (So a different timeline) Of course there’s some headcanon stuff squeezed in there for fun but it’s very unlikely this theory is true haha

tldr; i’m desperate to convince myself that omam is canon

Kid Icarus trailer

My take on a live-action Kid Icarus movie trailer, partially inspired by the second trailer for Captain America: the First Avenger.

(Open on Pit, looking much like he did in Of Myths and Monsters[albeit drawn in Uprisingstyle], riding alongside Palutena in her chariot. As they pass a building with ‘Gymnasium’ written over the door, Pit perks up, brushing hair out of his face.)

Pit: I’ve been to that place. The other boys who went there liked to use me to practice their fighting skills.

(Cut to Pit inside the gymnasium, surrounded by several bigger angels. One of them holds Pit in a half nelson as he forces him to the ground. Cut back to Pit and Palutena.)

Palutena: You never tried to run?

Pit: Once you start running, you won’t be able to stop.

(Shot of the Nintendo logo. Cut to Pit standing outside a colosseum with a tall, black-haired young man: Pit’s longtime friend Anter.)

Anter: Are you trying to get yourself killed?

Pit: I can’t just stand by and do nothing!

(Cut to Pit standing alongside several other young men, some angels and some not. Viridi is pacing back and forth in front of them, while Arlon stands off to the side.)

Viridi: Our goal is to create a new kind of soldier.

(Shots of Pit trying to keep up with the other cadets as they train.)

Viridi: Better, faster, and stronger than any ordinary angel.

(Shot of Pit tackling another cadet to the ground as a Bumpety Bomb comes hurtling towards them, involuntarily spreading his wings as he uses his own body as a shield. Shot of Pit and the cadet, both unharmed, sitting up with surprised expressions. Viridi, standing next to the dummy bomb, gives a thumbs up to Arlon. Cut to Arlon strapping a shirtless Pit to a large pillar by his wrists and ankles.)

Arlon (v/o): No matter how much you change on the outside...

(Shot of Phosphora using her electrical abilities to charge a device shaped like a pair of wings made of silver. Viridi and Palutena use their own powers to each charge a similar device. Pit shuts his eyes and braces himself as each of the three devices fires a beam at a large mirror hanging directly above pit. The mirror collects the energy before redirecting it downward, enveloping Pit in a column of multicolored light.)

Arlon (v/o): ...stay who you truly are within.

(Cut to Pit, now with his proper Uprising appearance, pulling himself to his feet. Palutena approaches with a fresh tunic, helping Pit steady himself. Shot of a Reaper making a gesture to someone offscreen. Shot of an explosion, which shatters the mirror. While Pit and Palutena are unharmed, Arlon is hit by several shards, a large one impaling him. Cut to Pit grabbing the Reaper by the collar.)

Pit: Who are you?

Reaper: The first of many...

(Shot of Pit catching his breath before gazing at his hands in wonder. Cut to Medusa leaning over a sarcophagus, her back to the camera. Shot of several Underworld Army troopers standing at attention. Shot of Medusa, looking as she did before her transformation into a gorgon, glaring at the Eggplant Wizard and Great Reaper disdainfully.)

Viridi (v/o): Medusa thinks she can usurp Hades, and she’s willing to destroy half the Overworld to prove it.

(Cut to Pit perched on a cliff overlooking the Reaper Fortress, the Mirror Shield in his hands. He slides the shield onto one arm before diving off the cliff, gliding down to the Fortress entrance. Cut to Pit standing on one side of a ravine, with Anter a short distance behind him. Medusa stands on the other side, Pandora hovering close by in ‘ghost flame’ form.)

Medusa: You and I have more in common than you think.

(She grabs her neck, peeling away the face mask to reveal her Uprisingappearance. Anter recoils in horror, but Pit simply holds up the Mirror Shield. Cut to Pit and Palutena in the latter’s temple, Pit seated on the floor while Palutena kneels beside him.)

Pit: I don’t think I can do this. Not alone.

Palutena: You won’t have to. Because you’re not alone.

(Shots of Pit, Anter, Magnus, Gaol, Phosphora, and Pyrrhon striking several Underworld Army bases. Shot of Pit in free fall as Palutena and Phosphora watch. Without warning, his wings open and he soars upward before disappearing into a cloud of fog. Shot of Pit being restrained by two Zurees as Medusa leans over him.)

Medusa: What makes you so special?

(Pit just shrugs, then kicks one of the Zurees in the stomach. The Zuree lets go of Pit’s arm, allowing the angel to slam the Mirror Shield into the other Zuree’s face. Shot of Pit flying above Twinbellows, notching an arrow. Cut to title card.)

Kid Icarus

(Cut to Pandora in her laboratory, hovering before an enormous mirror. Two Daphnes enter, carrying the barely alive form of Anter. Pandora takes out two vials of liquid—one silver white, the other dark purple—and pours the contents of both onto the mirror. A black glow surrounds the mirror as the Daphnes fly over and place their captive inside, the surface rippling like water. Pandora cackles wickedly as the unconscious Anter, whose features are changing to make him resemble Pit, begins to sprout black-feathered wings from his back.)

Notes

Matchups (rough) -Steve: Pit -Bucky: Anter (Dark Pit)* -Peggy: Palutena -Howard: Phosphora -Erskine: Arlon -Phillips: Viridi -Red Skull: Medusa -Zola: Pandora *from Anteros, brother of Eros and god of requited love

I think ur referring to weapon trade gems in which case I’m pretty sure that you can 100% it still! I completed Palutena’s puzzle with no weapon get trades. If you compete certain missions on the puzzle your prize will be a feather that is basically a freebie. At least in Palutena’s puzzle they gave you exactly enough to feathers to use them on the online trade ones so make sure to be careful when spending them and use them last!!! Sorry for such a long response you may already know this I just love to share knowledge :)

I'm trying to 100% the game but I have no gems please help
