Kirby's Rainbow Resort

For 7/27/07

Name: Star Kirby

Hi Ivy! Glad to see Ep. 60 is up! IT WAS AWESOME! *coughcough* Anyway, hope you don't mind answering some questions.

If I minded I would quit. :B

First, Nightmare made Kirby right? How did he become a Star Warrior if he was a failed creation of Nightmare's? How the heck did he even survive? Wouldn't Nightmare just kill Kirby off?

Well lately I've begun to realize it *could* have been MK he created but they leave it SO vague... And since being a Star Warrior seems to be a matter of fate rather than choice it's possible that Kirby just happened to be one when he was created, if he was...

Next, why does Kabu always start speaking with "The long-lived Kabu will answer."?

It's just what Kabu does. He's long lived, and he answers.

Last, what would you like to see in a sequel?

Traveling around, returning characters and new ones.

Thanks for answering these questions and having the patience to deal with n00bs. Good luck with your Meta Knight costume, subbing the next episode, and I hope
these questions didn't sound too n00bish! :D

Nah yer fine. Thanks.

This may seem like nagging, but have you stopped making the Kirby episodes on Megaupload avalible for download? I can't use Bittorrent, it's wierd! Megaupload is so much simplier. Sorry if you're just REALLY busy or
something.

They're all still there in the topic on the forums. :B

And the Dedede costume looks great on you! I'd have my mom make me a costume, but my whole family thinks Kirby is childish.

Thanks. And your family is dumb. =P Tell them I said that.

1. You said one time on the board they are rebroadcasting in (insert name here) right? How do people get these channels in US, cable or sattellite?

I don't think you can. It's only in Tokyo.

2. Are you gonna be working on "soft subs" when you are done your regular subs?

As part of the OpHNK International project. If I can get the dumb things to WORK. :E

Name: Green Knight

Hi! I'm Italian, so sorry for my bad english. In Italy the show Kirby of The Stars (Here we have the 4Kids Version and the show is just called "Kirby") is ended with the first part of Demonic ChocoCapsules.

Oooh yeah. Seen an ep or two. Great theme song.

Here we go with the questions.

Shouldn't Nago the cat have been in the anime?

He was in the design art but never used for unknown reasons.

Second Question: In the First episodes of the italian Dub, some Waddle Dees had the ability to speak. Is it the same in the english dub?

Speak? o_O Like understandable speech? Not in the English dub, no. In Japanese they had a gibberish language of sorts.

And........In The Italian Dub Meta Knight and Waddle Doo have deep voices. Is it the same in the 4kids' work?

Yes. The Italian dub is just a re-dub of the 4kids version so there will be similarities.

Thanks for the patience. Ciao!

Greetings, Ivy! I ask you, in the HnK download section, you say that you could ship some episodes to someone FREE OF CHARGE under special circumstances. What are they?

If you're a friend or something. Otherwise ya gotta pay shipping.

1. My friend Caitlyn asking me, "Where can you get the Kirby anime costumes?". Should you reject my friend's question because she's insane?

You'd have to make em yourself.

2. In "Tourist Trap", these tourists came to Cappy Town to ruin everything. Is it a good idea to let them go somewhere else in Dream Land?

I would have to say no. It would be a terrible idea to let them go anywhere.

Name: magma

i was wondering

1 why did yamikage "the evil ninja i forgot how to spell his name" run away SWEARING revenge but never returned

You... actually spelled his name right. But I have no idea why he didn't come back. No good reason- it was one of the highest rated eps after all. Maybe he died.

2 i keep hearing this everywere and stuff is there REALY going to be a season 2 of the anime

Maybe, maybe not. No one knows for sure.

3 in the cursed DDD bank episode how did Dedede get out of kirbys stomach ?

Through a plot hole. *rimshot*

4 in the episode with phanphan in it it says the demon beast are made evil if one were to not be evil would people still call it a demon beast?

It depends. Sometimes they say a demon beast is anything Nightmare makes. Other times you're a demon beast just by acting like one. I think it's both.

5 and ive noticed enemies like the one from episode 60 and chilly dog were killed and then returned later does that meen that demon beast are more a breed of animal
then a individual monster

Er, the only demon beasts that return are Noddies (because there are many of them) and Masher because it was remade. Some seem to be species (like Scarfy) while others are unique. Chilidog only appears once. (The one MK fights in the flashback is the same one in the episode.)

and 6 i probably asked some stupid questions but this is probably one of the worst are noddys realy i type of seed from that evil plant or are they real demon beast or a combo between the 2

I figure both and Nightmare made the plant too.

Hi Ivana!

HOW DO PEOPLE ALWAYS DO THIS. GOD DAMNIT.

Kw is finally back... anyway, to the question that's been
driving me crazy:

MK's (Meta Knight's) armor is so heavy that Kirby can't absorb him! Both the anime and the games... The games I can understand. He's a boss. But in the anime, he's a regualr guy! It's made me MAD! Roar! So I need to know... if you don't know, just say i dont know.

MK is actually very lightweight. His armor isn't heavy. He just has other secret ways of protecting himself. :B He said so.

Name: unknown

I've heard that there's a Taiwan Chinese version of the anime in the forums. In this case, who is Mengmeng (夢夢)?

Fumu's Chinese name. I'm gonna be posting info about foreign version eventually.

I was just wondering...In the FAQ you said that you could buy kirby on DVD but does it have the English subtitiles like it usually does on You Tube? Or is there an option where you can have the episodes in English? Or can you only buy it in Japanese?

You can either buy Japanese w/no subs or just the English dub.

Name: Brock Goldflies

Is the last episode of HnK different from the dub? People have been saying that 4kids got rid of most of the scenes? Is this true? I don't believe them!

4Kids removed some scenes and important lines. And made Nightmare sound LAME. SO LAME.

Name: Angel Kirby

1. After seeing Episode 60, I have a question about Silica's weapon. How can it have five functions when it only has four openings? Does she actually have to change the setting, or does she just flip the thing around and press a different button? Forgive me for the stupidity of this question, but I really want to know.

One side is a flamethrower, the other is either missiles or a grappling hook. The top part can release a small blade, and on the opposite side is the machine gun.

2. In Episode 65, Why didn't Knuckle Joe want Kirby to fight powered Masher with him?...I'm sorry if it says why in the episode, I didn't catch it because I don't understand Japanese. >.<

Because he wanted to do it alone because that's how he is. :B

Thanks for answering all these gurus questions. You rock.

Thanks.

Is there a way that I can download the episodes without using bit torrent? I dont like to use it because other people can steal your personal information when you use it.

You don't understand how torrents work.

Hi Ivyna: I have a few questions now. Please, try to answer all of them:

1) Is is true that was planned that Kirby could call the warpstar after the ep 100, but Mashiro Sakurai leaved?

It's just a rumor.

2) It is true that the appearance of Nago was planned, but this was not realized because of the same reason?

It isn't known why they didn't use Nago.

3) DDD has more than 300 year?

If you mean 'has Dedede been alive for more than 300 years', then yes they do seem to phrase it like that.

4) When kirby says the abilities' attack name, are these his thoughts, because sometimes he says it with the mouth closed, the sound has eco, etc,etc,etc.

I think he's actually saying them in most cases they just forget to animate his mouth. :B

5)What language talk Kirby when says the name of his attacks? English, Japanese, both? When he talk in English? When he talk in Japanese?

Both. Some attacks are in English and some are Japanese.

6) Now a request. I would like than you, or Megawarp or someone else opens a section of the no original version's music. I know that you like criticize and prefers the original soundtrack. Yes, I like it too, reminds me Kirby Air Ride and the no original is almost just notes, but, but, but....Just think it.

There's already a section where you can hear the original music.

And unfortunately I can't figure out what your last question is supposed to mean. :(

Name: Storm Midnight

Dear Ivyna,
Hi, I'm Storm, and I have a few questions for you.

1. Since Meta Knight is (sort of) the same as Kirby, why can't he inhale enemies? Is he not able to or does he just choose not to?

The inhale could be unique to Kirby.

2. How could Kirby have disobeyed Nightmare if he was (and sort of still is) a baby?

Kirby's shown himself to be capable of far more than any baby so we can't put it past him! (And it could have still been Meta Knight. o_o)

3. Is Meta Knight somehow related to Kirby in some way? If not, why does MK know so much about him?

The most realistic answer is he knows so much in order to explain things to the audience. But they aren't related by blood or anything.

Hello! I just became curious and I now want to ask that does Dark matter/Zero appear in any episode of the HnK show?

No. Dark Matter only cameos in the prototype.

Is it just me, or does Meta Knight often seem to get scenes in which he looks alot less "cool"? I mean, in the Noddy episode, he has PINK SHEETS, and he looks just plain silly sitting in his little chair with those giant feet pointing straight up. Also, there was one point where he pointed while still having himself "cloaked", and it looked really silly. Do you think the animators just enjoyed silli-fying him sometimes?

Meta Knight is a silly character, or a 'gag' character. It's all done intentionally so he's not some stereotypical boring angst-bag and instead he's a sort of quirky old veteran with a height complex.

Also, just a curious question, but do you get paid for working on the site?

HAHAHAHA no. Uh, working is it's own reward... or something.

Name: Bert

this isn't really about the anime, it's more or less about a character costume. i plan on going out for halloween as Nightmare Wizard (or NME; whatever you wanna call him) and I need some tips:

Man I'm not an expert or anythin ;_; Try researching cosplay stuff and play around with different materials.

Name: randomkirby

this may sound a bit vulgar, but was meta knight not straight in the manga?

Meta Knight is far too FAAABULOUS to have ever been straight.

Hey in The 1st Game Kirby Cannot Copy Any power Right?

Why do you even need to ask this? :(

Name: Bomb

Hi. It's me with a different email. I first want to thank you for subbing the exorcize episode to the website.

Exorcise?
THE POWER OF KIRBY COMPELS YOU!
THE POWER OF KIRBY COMPELS YOU!
THE POWER OF KIRBY COMPELS YOU!
Wait are we talking about the same thing?

It's one of my favorite episodes mainly because it's hilarious and crazy. I didn't even see Mic Kirby coming
which made the episode even better. I was just wondering, in the episode with the episode with the tourists, why they all just came out of nowhere. Sure they're tourists and all but they all seemed to stay together with no real objectives. Could they be zombies? :(

I take it you don't live in an area with high tourism.
Trust me, they were very realistic!

How is it That Lololo & Lalala Are Married in the Game But in The Anime They Are Twins?

Why Do You Capitalize Every Word?
And because the anime and games are not the same.

Hey Ivyna! Thanks for all the work you've done on the site. And to the questions!

1.) In the last few episodes of HnK, Customer Service is seen as... well, you know. But in the New Year's Episode (forgot the name), when Dedede sees Customer Service, he's dressed up in... some traditional clothes, in a bowing fashion. Yet his legs are not stubby. How is this so?

Those aren't his legs you're seeing. (Okay that could be construed badly but YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.)

2.) In episode 82 (I think?), when Dedede imagines what's under Escargon's shell, isn't that a little... perverty and shouldn't be... well, shone? (But there WAS a blur when you actually saw him....)

It was art, you cretin! :(

Dadadada that's aaaaall.

That's all for this time, kiddies!
