'''Anige'''{{ForeignTitle}} is a computer [[monster]] who appears in the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Tooned Out]]. He is initially disguised as a famous animator named Dis Walney, and using computer equipment, sets up a scenario where [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] first willingly, then against his will, attacks [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]], who is forced in turn to endure the punishment when both their movements are controlled by the monster using attached optical sensors. Shortly after Anige reveals his true form, Kirby is freed from the sensors that were controlling him, allowing him to retaliate against Anige and destroy him using the [[Spark]] [[Copy Ability]].


Anige is the main antagonist of the ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'' episode [[Tooned Out]]. He is a robotic [[Demon Beast|monster]] who impersonates [[Dis Walney]]. Anige has 8 spheres orbiting around his body, which allows him to unleash a blast of energy. His head is an old fashioned television with a green screen and a single large eye. The rest of his body resembles a tabletop lamp. His body is a metal rod with a golden base for a foot. Anige does not have arms, but his hands, similar in look to [[Master Hand]] and [[Crazy Hand]], appear to float on their own. In his hands is a controller which resembles a video game controller and allows Anige to control his enemies. Like Walney, he has a small moustache and a red beret.
The Japanese name of this monster is used for this article, since a localized name for the monster was never given in the 4Kids version.


==Role in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]''==
== Characteristics ==
Anige is an old, yet cruel manipulative monster appearing in [[Tooned Out]], where he is a monster who disguises himself as Dis Walney. He gets [[King Dedede (anime)|King Dedede]] and [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] to act out a fighting scene (much to their exhaustion) that the monster uploads onto his computer. At this, [[Tiff]], who realizes that Dis Walney would not be so cruel in his normal state, attacks him, but Anige emits a powerful red force field and reveals his true form as a robot.

Anige initially appears disguised as another character named '''Dis Walney'''. This character is described as a famous animator, who [[Tiff]] and [[Tuff]] particularly idolize. Dis Walney is a  humanoid man with a notably large nose, a small brown mustache, and a red beret. He wears a brown suit which fully covers his body and wears an orange tie underneath. This impostor Dis Walney is defined by his blatant greed and his skill with computer technology, along with his callous disregard for Kirby.


Anige fires red lasers with his orbs, and uses controls to their every move by linking his controller to the optic sensors placed on their bodies. Anige dies not fight directly, but forces King Dedede to smash Kirby with his hammer. [[Meta Knight (anime)|Meta Knight]] notices that an optical sensor is sparking and tells Kirby to [[Inhale|inhale]] it. Kirby, upon his inhalation of the optical sensor, [[Copy Ability|transforms]] into [[Spark]] Kirby. In this form, Kirby manages to kill Anige by shooting him with electrical lasers. Anige's corpse explodes when one of the blasts strikes his fuel, causing his body to explode and destroy the castle.
Unlike the case with [[Rowlin]] in [[A Novel Approach]], the real Dis Walney never appears in the show.

Anige's true form resembles a computer monitor attached to a lamp-stand, surrounded by floating sensor cameras and floating disembodied hands. The main computer monitor features a green screen with a single large eye in the middle. In this form, Anige retains a small white mustache and the red beret he was wearing while disguised. He also holds a controller which he uses to control King Dedede and Kirby's movements using the optical sensors attached to the two.
 
Anige can also attack by shooting lightning bolts from his floating cameras, though he is likewise very weak to [[Spark]] attacks.

{{main|Tooned Out}}
Anige appears in [[Tooned Out]] initially disguised as the famous animator Dis Walney in order to help King Dedede create a cartoon in a single day. To carry this out, he recommends using CGI, and sets up his studio to capture King Dedede and Kirby's movements using optical sensors applied to their bodies. As the capture begins, the fake Walney encourages King Dedede to relentlessly attack Kirby, which causes Tiff to doubt his motives and try to stop him, but at that moment, he throws off his disguise and reveals his true form.
 
From there, Anige pulls out his controller and uses it to control the movements of both Kirby and King Dedede, forcing Kirby to hold still and endure King Dedede's further punishment, as even King Dedede finds this notion to be disturbing and exhausting. Eventually, Kirby is kicked into the ceiling, which ends up jostling the motion sensors free from his body. Kirby then inhales the detached sensors to gain the [[Spark]] [[Copy Ability]], and uses it to quickly destroy Anige after zapping him twice with lightning blasts.

Main article: Tooned Out

Anige appears in Tooned Out initially disguised as the famous animator Dis Walney in order to help King Dedede create a cartoon in a single day. To carry this out, he recommends using CGI, and sets up his studio to capture King Dedede and Kirby's movements using optical sensors applied to their bodies. As the capture begins, the fake Walney encourages King Dedede to relentlessly attack Kirby, which causes Tiff to doubt his motives and try to stop him, but at that moment, he throws off his disguise and reveals his true form.

From there, Anige pulls out his controller and uses it to control the movements of both Kirby and King Dedede, forcing Kirby to hold still and endure King Dedede's further punishment, as even King Dedede finds this notion to be disturbing and exhausting. Eventually, Kirby is kicked into the ceiling, which ends up jostling the motion sensors free from his body. Kirby then inhales the detached sensors to gain the Spark Copy Ability, and uses it to quickly destroy Anige after zapping him twice with lightning blasts.

Trivia[edit]

  • The controller Anige uses resembles that of the Nintendo 64. In the Japanese version, the look of Anige's controller is different, and features more buttons.
  • The character Dis Walney is a combination of two real-world figures: Walt Disney, founder of the most successful animation company in the world which bears his name, and Osamu Tezuka, known as the "father of manga" and founder of his own self-named animation studio. The character is called "Owalt Dezney" in the Japanese version, a more clear portmanteau of the two names, and is said to have drawn the famous "Macho Mouse". His large nose and beret are based on how Tezuka depicted himself in self-portraits, while his hairstyle, mustache, and suit are based on Disney.
  • In much the same way that Cartoon Buffoon is a pastiche of anime production, Anige's role in Tooned Out lampoons contemporary animation technology, particularly the use of motion capture in live-action and animated media in order to save money compared to more work-intensive methods.
