One Crazy Knight: Difference between revisions

The episode begins at [[Kirby's House]], where [[Kirby (anime character)|Kirby]] is carting home some [[watermelon]]s. At that moment, a flash of light streaks through the sky which is witnessed by him and others. A clunky-looking brown spaceship crashes into [[Dream Land (anime)|Dream Land]] at the exact same spot where Kirby first crashed in [[Kirby Comes to Cappy Town|episode 1]], and Kirby heads over to the cliffside to investigate. At that moment, the ship starts to slip off the cliff, and Kirby attempts to stop it from falling, but fails after [[Tiff]] and [[Tuff]] arrive. It falls into the crevasse on top of a stone slab, and Tiff gets the idea to move a boulder to fall on the other side of this slab to launch the ship back out of the ravine. This plan works, and the ship lands back out of the ravine. The group approaches the ship as its cockpit opens, when they are threatened by a knight who emerges from the ship. Tiff tries to reason with him, but the knight chaotically lunges at them, believing them to be monsters. He chases them through the fields, but ends up doing more harm to himself than any of them. After inadvertently causing [[King Dedede (anime character)|King Dedede]] and [[Escargoon]] to crash their [[Royal Racecar]], the knight collapses out of exhaustion, admitting he cannot fight on an empty stomach.

From there, Tiff and Tuff check in on the knights who are busy with the ship. Meta Knight shows them in to reveal what a mess the ship's interior is, and soon discover a stash of comic books. As they peruse them, it is revealed that King Dedede and Escargoon are looking at a similar collection of books back at the castle, realizing that Sir Gallant is merely acting like a comic book hero by the same name. They then watch one of the Sir Gallant video tapes and see the fictional knight battling with a windmill, and get an idea. Meanwhile, Sir Gallant is leading Mabel over to his ship intent on flying her away, but Mabel refuses to leave Dream Land, claiming that she must stay to save the kingdom from oppression. This line works on Sir Gallant, though before they can continue, King Dedede and Escargoon show up and reveal the [[monster]] [[Windwhipper]] to battle the knight. Mabel tries to Stop Sir Gallant from fighting, but to no avail. Windwhipper tosses a bunch of blades at Sir Gallant, which he finds himself unable to resist. Windwhipper then activates its main rotor, creating a mirror which reveals Sir Gallant's face to himself. Seeing his reflection, the knight is snapped back into reality, and his armor breaks away as he cries out in horror. Sword and Blade rush in to recover the broken knight and carry him to safety, where Meta Knight comments on his grave condition.

The group is interrupted when Windwhipper marches toward them. Kirby steps in and [[inhale]]s its blades, gaining the [[Mirror]] [[Copy Ability]]. From there, Mirror Kirby uses a [[Guard|Reflect Guard]] to block more of Windwhipper's projectiles, and then dodges another volley by using the Mirror Body technique. After confusing Windwhipper with mirror images of himself, Kirby finishes the monster off by using a Mirror Cut to slice it clean in two. With the monster defeated, Kirby and the others try to rally Sir Gallant's spirits, but he admits that it was all a fantasy, and prepares to let his life slip away from him. Just as all hope seems lost, Mabel steps in and reinforces her role as Princess Zaia, commanding him to get up and return to hunting monsters throughout the galaxy. Sir Gallant becomes rejuvenated, and hops into his ship on the orders of his princess and flies away from Dream Land. The episode ends as Mabel comments on the situation to her comrades.
