'''[[wikipedia:Yomi|Yomi]]'''{{foreignTitle}}, or '''Yomi-no-kuni''', is an underworld that appears in ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Knight of Yomi]]''. It is based on the eponymous underworld from Japanese mythology. Yomi is mentioned in [[Morpho Knight]] and Morpho Knight EX's Special Pages in the Japanese version of ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', but it is never visited or depicted, so its portrayal is entirely original to the novels. The souls of those who have passed away or are on the brink of death arrive at Yomi. [[Meta Knight (novel character)|Meta Knight]] and [[Papi]]'s side of the story takes place here. | '''[[wikipedia:Yomi|Yomi]]'''{{foreignTitle}}, or '''Yomi-no-kuni''', is an underworld that appears in ''[[Kirby: Meta Knight and the Knight of Yomi]]''.

For unknown reasons, Meta Knight obtains a sword replacing his [[Galaxia]], which was taken from him by Beryl, when he arrives in Yomi. This sword has no substance and is less apt for battle. | For unknown reasons, Meta Knight obtains a sword replacing his [[Galaxia]], which was taken from him by Beryl, when he arrives in Yomi.
