- A compilation of our failed attempts, full of our reactions to all the bosses! I promise we'll beat it next time!

A few musical facts:
The prelude theme is called "INTERNAL STRUGGLE".
And thus rendition of crowned is used in Magolor's guest star mode.
*When all is lost, you can still faintly hear the embers*
At last, TRUE Magolor Soul. You can consider this the first EX version of a Soul boss since Astral Birth Void. A few things I love about this new fight:
1. The arena has changed. The black hole in the background now has the same effect on it as Void, and the flames are now black.
2. The music has changed. Instead of CROWNED, its Supreme Ruler’s Coronation, Magolors Guest Star Allies final boss theme. Furthermore, once you enter phase two of the fight, a choir is added to the music, and if you listen closely, you can hear Magolor trying to speak to you, WHICH IS SOMETHING CASEY DID WHEN THEY FOUGHT MAGOLOR SOUL IN THE ORIGINAL GAME. THEY JUST MADE THAT CANON.
3. The most obvious one, the difficulty. HAL saw all the Impossible Mag Soul mods and was like “bet”. Theyre so over the top and so much more creative in this version of the fight. The Double Black Holes fucks you up so bad. Adding Sand and Mech as completely new attacks in phase 2, forcing you to do the Ice Hammer attack UPSIDE DOWN. Its so wonderfully brutal.
But yeah, hopefully ya’ll have better luck next time. If you can beat it without Sand Ill be impressed, I feel like they made it OP on purpose to give people an easy mode for the new True Arena.
I'm not sure if anyone will believe me but, my twin brother beat Magolor soul EX(my personal name for the true final boss) on the second try, he was using the sand ability, and didn't take any damage through the whole fight! he wasn't trying to do a no damage run, it just happened...
...He was in a panicked frenzy throughout the whole thing, and he hardly believes he did it even now, nearly a month later. We had been trying to beat the true arena twice a day every day for a week beforehand, but we'd only reached magolor soul EX once before(he had died to the twin black hole attack on that run) ...I don't think such a victory could be repeated.
Yep, the true arena is BRUTAL.
Get your in first 1 hour ticket here!
Yeah, so... uh... Magolor Soul's True Arena version eh? Yeah...
Also, I feel the need to point out that when the Crown takes full control in phase 2, an APPLE drops from Magolor Soul's mouth...
You probably already noticed this as well but... remember how you said "Supreme Lord's Coronation ~ OVERLORD" is an unfitting name for the song since it doesn't have to do with the Master Crown? Well... "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" sounded really weird during that fight!
Magalor Soul DX is my favorite boss ever
The true arena time, and its a struggle ! Best of luck with beating it next time!
Fun Fact: After beating this and playing as either King Dedede or Meta Knight the song of fighting Galacta Knight will be different
Boss titles
Sealed warrior: GALACTA KNIGHT
………………..:SOUL
Also THE BACKGROUND IS VOID
You guys may not have won, but you did end up seeing all the content besides the final small cutscene for defeating Magolor soul true arena version. Here's the correct new relevant pause screens, plus two details I wanted to highlight about the final battle, which I'll write at the end.
VS HR-D3
Drawn by the mechanical energy here, this ancient war machine crossed time and space through an interdimensional tunnel. Get ready for a dream battle with a king-sized warrior of steel!
VS HR-D3
An ancient combat machine that, drawn to the energy of machines, wandered in from a different dimension that’s not this one, having passed through Another Dimension Road. It has crossed many dimensions and parallels, and now, finally, a battle of dreams begins…with an unfamiliar giant iron soldier!
*In the original Wii version, this description only showed up in The True Arena, and could not be seen in Extra mode.
*別ジゲン / 別次元 betsu jigen is what I translated as ‘different dimension’ here. This term was also used in the Wii descriptions for HR-D3 and Galacta Knight. Both betsu jigen and ikuukan translate to ‘another dimension/other dimensions’.
次元 jigen is more close to the English word Dimension than 空間 kuukan which is more like space or area, but in the context of ikuukan it is basically just like dimension anyway, and that’s almost always how Kirby uses it, so I translate it as dimension. In the case of this game though, it seems to be mostly translated as space.
*Like in the original RtDL, HR-D3 and Galacta Knight share nearly identical pause descriptions, though they are much more different now. However, while GK’s Jp description says he crossed ‘dimensions and times’, this one says ‘dimensions and parallels’, but for some reason the English description wrote time here instead of parallels, while GK’s English description doesn’t even mention the dimensions and time part.
パラレル Parallel seems to be the word Kumazaki uses for a parallel dimension/world/universe like Kirby Clash, where different versions of the same people exist, like something resembling an AU. For example, he called Meta Knightmare Returns a ‘parallel story’.
VS Galacta Knight
An interdimensional tunnel has brought
the most powerful warrior in the galaxy
before you, and the gem seal keeping it
at bay has been broken! Get ready for a
dream battle that defies destiny itself!
VS Galactic Knight
The Galaxy’s Strongest Warrior wandered in from a different dimension that’s not this one, having passed through Another Dimension Road. Having crossed many dimensions and times, the gem seal has broken. Now, finally, a battle of dreams begins…with a being you should never have met!
*The English description leaves out the fact that he’s traveled many dimensions and times.
*I think it’s strange the English description calls GK with ‘it’.
*The last line calling GK 存在 sonzai “Existence” or “Being” is a reference to the last line of Morpho Knight’s description:
[. . .] now begins an epic battle with a pure being twisted by a dark past.
れきしの闇に ほうむられた、決して戦う はずの無い
アノそんざいとの、夢の対決の… まくあけだっ！！
The curtains rise… on the showdown of dreams with That Being which could never be fought, shrouded in history’s darkness!!
This line in the first place was a reference to Galacta Knight’s RtDL description. However, this new Deluxe description no longer uses the term ‘the curtains rise’.
Magolor Soul (true arena first phase)
VS Magolor Soul
The one-eyed wreath grants power but
swallows the soul... It devours, stealing
any sense of self... Truly, this crown
rules all. Free him from this nightmare!
Take his hand and save a new friend!
VS Magolor Soul
The one-eyed Laurel Wreath continuously devours…
In exchange for power, it continuously sips upon his dripping soul…
Having stolen even his sense of self, it truly is the Crown of Domination.
Let’s free him from this abhorrent nightmare, join hands with him once more, and become… friends!
*The word 啜り / すすり sip is the same one used in FL to refer to Morpho Knight feeding on dreams and souls.
夢啜る極蝶 Dream-Sipping Paradise Butterfly
そこで 最も強い ソウルをすすり There, it sips upon the strongest soul
*I’m not sure if 滴る dripping here refers to the word’s literal definition of dripping, since Magolor Soul does kind of have a liquid appearance with his ‘skin’ running over his one eye like he’s made of paint, or if it’s referring to its figurative definition of something that’s overflowing with beauty/vividness/something that’s fresh.
VS Magolor Soul (true arena second phase)
Kirby... Ugh! I hate having to rely on you, and
your vacant stare when I revealed my grand plan
was truly insulting. Well, let's see if you can break
this thing on my head. If you can, then someday...
hee hee hee...I may get to toy with you again!
VS Magolor Soul
Kirby, I don’t like you.
You had a vacant stare when you were deceived.
It’s annoying having to rely on you all the time, but… no more.
Kirby of the Stars. Hurry up, smash this thing on my head.
Then once again, kukkukku… I’ll mess around with you!
*I keep hearing weird stuff like “This description confirms Magolor is still evil/still an asshole!” and I just want to make clear, Magolor uses カラかって karakatte, where からかう karakau (tease, embarrass, play with) is a term that’s usually used endearingly (especially in fiction), such as a parent talking about how fun it is to tease their child and how cute they are when they get embarrassed.
As another example, “からかい上手の高木さん Karakai Jouzo no Takagi-san (Teasing Master Takagi-san)” is about a girl flirting with (“Teasing”) the main character.
In fact, while it might seem unclear using English… Japanese-English dictionaries, when you look at Japanese people explaining the appropriate English term, they always warn about negative connotations in translations, such as ‘“make fun of” can mean karakau, but beware it usually has a negative connotation compared to “tease”’, or ‘I looked up karakau in a dictionary and it said “be mean” and “bully/ridicule”, but I’m trying to talk about a prank between friends”.
Here’s a site warning about the English terms “Tease”, “Make fun of”, and “Bully”, for example. It describes Tease as a positive term equivalent to karakau, and bully as a negative term that is explicitly not karakau, then ‘make fun of’ as a term that could be negative and meant to hurt people or a term to karakau people in order to make them laugh.
About the things I wanted to point out myself personally, this final Magolor soul battle is really cool because it is essentially a bad ending of the events of the main story, what would have happened if the crown managed to win against Magolor and fully consumed him. With his last breath of life, Magolor manages to throw Kirby an apple before being erased by the crown completely. After this moment, his eyes have disappeared and you can hear the echos of his voice during the rest of the Battle, which very much seem like he's saying "Kirby tasukete" aka "Kirby help me", which matches up with his thoughts in the second pause screen, but it all becomes super macabre because this time that's not going to happen and it's too late for it. Also, the super creepy song in the rest before the boss is "INTERNAL STRUGGLE" too. So yeah, Magolor can finally join in with Sectonia and haltmann for ending up dead at the end of their games, it's very nice to have it.
The last thing I wanted to point out is that, in this battle only, the planet in the background now has a different design, the textures on it have changed to be instead exactly like Void's, which makes sense, with the crown being at the max power in this battle Void being summoned from all the energy nearby makes sense, and the two are connected as we know from star allies. It's very fun having Void again at the end of yet another Kirby series from you guys ehehe
Did you know you can hear magolor crying out for help in the song?
Yeah boi
Oh by the way, given that both the master crown and zero 2 are both connected to void termina, is it possible that zero used this connection to manifest his remaining essence within the master crown itself? That IS his eye in magolor soul's mouth, right? I'm honestly considering the idea that magolor soul is zero 2.5.
Neat
Will you make anymore episodes or is this the end?
