Master's official artwork also shows a golden sword lacking tines, as does its sprite, however, its icon shows a sword with four tines the gem in its hilt is also red in sprites, but blue in artwork.

In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, released in 2004 after the anime episode was aired, Kirby uses Meta Knight's sword, which gives the Master Copy Ability, to confront Dark Mind. Master Sword - Kirby & The Amazing Mirror However, the artwork of Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land shows him wielding Galaxia. Meta Knight first appeared in Kirby's Adventure, but the sword that he wields in this game (and its remake) does not appear different from other swords in the game. Games Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land This coincides with the fact that the sword's voice is male in the original, and female in the 4Kids dub. Galaxia's name sounds masculine in Japanese pronunciation, and feminine in English. Regardless, fans have named the move 'Galaxia Kirby,' much as 'Master' Sword has been named after Master. Despite these appearances, the official site for the anime does not name it as a Copy Ability, and from its appearance it is likely a derivative of Sword. When doing so, he wears the traditional green hat from Sword Kirby, but swings Galaxia instead of an ordinary sword. Kirby wields Galaxia twice in the anime once in Hour of the WolfWrath and once in Crusade for the Blade. The phasing blade also explains the Hammerspace (magic satchel) effect where Meta Knight seemingly produces a sword longer than himself from out of nowhere in the games.

There are usually four tines along its blade, although there can be anywhere between zero to six depending on artwork, and they range from simple outward pointing spikes to ones which have a slight outwards curve to them, similar to a fiery pattern.Īs portrayed in the anime, Galaxia's blade has the unique property of only phasing into existence once it is unsheathed. Its handguards point towards the blade, which has a mirror-like, polished appearance compared to the hilt. The sword itself is golden in appearance, with a blade about as long as Meta Knight himself is tall, with a single rounded or oval ruby set within its hilt. 2.3 Kirby's Epic Yarn and Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn.2.1 Kirby's Adventure and Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land.
