Meta Knight as Kirby's masked rival

Disciplined, honorable, and secretive, Meta Knight values strength and preparation. Some actions appear antagonistic, but he usually acts from concern that Dream Land is weak or unprepared.

Meta Knight fights with the sword Galaxia, wings, rapid aerial movement, and dimensional slashes. His resemblance to Kirby suggests a related species, though his exact origin and identity remain deliberately unexplained across games.
