  • For you guys who say that the English version is superior, I see nothing superior about something that changes the names of characters who are better known by their Japanese names in the games, although it is true that the 4Kids dub of Hoshi no Kaabii had fewer names changed than any other dub by 4Kids, making it only superior to the other dubs.

    Long comment is long.....

  • @KitsuneAi1998 No, what makes the English Dub superior is the fact that they *Obeyed* Sakurai's rule by making Kirby not talk by removing his attack phrases. Any *True Anime Fan* will tell you that the version that disobeys the creators wishes and rules is always the inferier version, this is the main reason why the 4Kids dub of One Piece, Tokyo Mew Mew, and the DIC dub of Saint Seiya sucked and recieved so much critism, they did not follow anything by the Original creators.

  • 2:19 Skyward Sword :3

  • Link.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon 4Kids, knowing them, probably removed the talking because it sounded too Japanese. Regardless, Kirby has spoken in the Super Smash Bros. series as well as Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, both of which Masahiro Sakurai directed. Was there a problem with Kirby shouting, "Falcon Punch," or saying, "Hi"?

  • @Fortenium Saying "Hi" isn't speaking, babies say one word at a time all the time, theres no excusing the fact that the Japanese version broke Sakurai's rule, either way the English version obeyed it, AUTOMATICALLY making it better, any *TRUE ANIME FAN* will tell you that the version that obeys the *ORIGINAL CREATORS RULES* is always the superior version. BTW SSBB isn't a Kirby game, saying attack names is speaking, this is the reason why Kirby doesn't talk in his OWN games.

  • DAMN! The Jappeneese are awesome!

  • I just get all tickly inside hearing Kirby say, "Galaxia"

  • I hate the japanese music. I meant, the japanese version, with the Music... yuk!!

  • You what how about we all agree that both the English dubs and JP is good in there own ways. People have there opinions on which one htey like. For me It dosen't matter just as long as i can watch the show. If you can't deal with this than leave.

  • Wholly crap is that .....link ? ...were is dark link ?

  • ultumite doging skills

  • I think that this version sounds more badass than the English dub.

  • english

    

  • kirby: SCREW THE RULES I HAVE A GREEN HAT!!! -picks up sword-

  • Comment removed

  • All i see is Kirby eating a sword and turned into Link and battling monsters

  • 0:59 is that the voice of may?

  • @Tokio616 Yeah, it's the same person. It's Veronica Taylor, she did the voice of May as well as Ash (she was Ash's old voice actor, I'm not sure if she did both Ash and May's voice at the same time, or not).

  • @errorzinvalid awsome

  • Okay, I think 4Kids actually did a good job with the dubbing on Kirby. Better than ALOT of their other work at least. I DO dislike the changing of soundtracks though, especially for songs with no words. I love the Kirby game soundtrack and like how they put it in the Jap show. 4Kids made it sad. Thank any Diety that Funimation exists.

    I do have to say though, that I liked Pokemon alot more before when 4Kids had it instead of Pokemon Company (oh the irony huh?)

  • 0:21 IT'S LINK KIRBY!!!!!

  • @triipge And yes it is their best dub because it follows the original creators rules which a true anime fan is suppose to follow.

  • Guys, stop arguing about Kirby's speech pattern.

    Sakurai worked on the anime as well. Obviously he'd have to say some words.

    And frankly, I like that he says some words sometimes.

    If he said "Poyo" every time, sure, its fine.

    But he cant be completely brainless.

    Babies have a tendancy to copy some words. And if you hadn't noticed, Kirby becomes somewhat more intelligent when taking an ability.

  • @demipokeguin Masahiro Sakurai himself told the company specifically that he's not aloud to speak. Even Shigeru Miyamoto says his character Link isn't aloud to speak either and when DIC Entertainment made their cartoon, fans were enraged cause of the fact that Link was talking even if he had a pro voice actor. When you make an Anime, you're suppose to stay true to the Original creators work and follow his/her rules. Saying poyo doesn't make him brainless.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon I still think saying his attacks and words near the end show his intellignece progressing.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon Kirby says "Tiff! Name Tiff! Name Tuff! Lololo! Lalala!" in the first episode of the 4kids dub.

  • @timeparadox888 So what, speaking is when you say sentences and babies, since Kirby is a baby, say peoples names all the time at one or two words a minimum. You wouldn't expect a baby to say, "Galaxia Sword Beam" as that is considered speaking which breaks Masahiro Sakurai's rule and wish of Kirby not aloud to speak

  • What's kirby now? those things' pokemon?

  • 0:26 is Meta Knight hurt? awww... poor Mety..... *hugs* you'll feel better soon. :)

  • link?

  • Tiff that was it...When I watched One Piece I couldnt remember where I heard Nami's voice...after seeing this i know

  • @33554431 why are you so illiterate?

  • what a retarded ass storyline -_-

  • They kind of forgot to realise that Kirby does talk sometimes, like shouting out "SWORD BEAM!". Also, Brock's voice actor voices Meta Knight so I can't help but remember that when I hear "Two Perfect Girls" playing anywhere. Look it up and try thinking of Meta Knight and then try not to laugh, I dare you.

  • Silica is Ash and May's old voice from pokemon!! holy shit i just realized

  • I hate how 4kids changes the music. All the music sounds the same in all of their dubs. That wave sound effect is so overused...

  • ...i used to watch kirby right back at ya with my nephew, since we both loved kirby games, and he loved that show. then i recently started watchin Hoshi no Kaabii, and went, "....WHY DID I NOT SEE THIS VERSION FIRST!?!?!"

  • the music is censured O_O

  • 0:24 Yeah no shit

  • tiff: a whiney little bitch

    fumu: still kinda a whiny bitch but more of a badass =P

  • its fucking stupid that 4kids never once used any music even close to being simular to music from kirby.. i fucking hate 4kids.. there fucking retarted.

  • @ssonic116

    You're right 4kids stink.

  • i say i dont like meta-knights english voice >.< his japanese voice is way better just sayinggggggggg

  • Comment removed

  • 3:16 till end........

    SHIT THIS IS WHAT I MISSED DURING MY CHILDHOOD?!?!?!

  • I hate the 4kids version.

    Half the time it's impossible to understand dedede (or as 4kids call him DEDUHDE)

    or metaknight.

  • I got sick of kirby because of the Super predictable plot, and lack of character developement. And now I find out it was so terrible because of censorship.

  • I suddenly saw it was a video from 2008.

    I still think japanese Metaknight is much

    'better','cooler','more handsome' than 4kids' Metaknight :D

  • @happyguy0105 I still think the english Metaknight's Italian accent rocked. Japanese Metaknight just sounds like a badass boss.

  • Comment removed

  • Kirby is the only anime that 4Kids dubbed WITHOUT spoiling it! ^.^

  • Do U know my name? My name is Jason Lin

  • I watch 4kids all the time

  • Ok, i'll give 4kids Kirby because they did a pretty good job with it, but they should have stayed away from everything else. m

  • Another thing that makes the dub better is that is followed Masahiro Sakurai's rule of Kirby NOT allowed to talk.

  • Kirby was one of 4Kids best dubs, their audio quality was much better then the Japanese version, their voice acting was much better, they synced lip flap where as the Japanese version was always a little out of sync, and it wasn't boring and dull sounding as the Japanese version. The only good voice acting in the Japanese version was Tiff and Kirby, the rest sound like something from an abridged series. This dub was their best, the rest of their dubs suck.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon Someone should make a spectrum of 4Kids dubs, with Kirby being the best and One Piece being the worst.

  • @timeparadox888 I'm actually tied with 4Kids Mew Mew being the worst and 4Kids One Piece being the worst too. Kirby and Pokemon were 4Kids best.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon actually i enjoyed sonic

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon 2:31 kirbys mouth moves and he says nothing. their dub work certainly is perfect...

  • Comment removed

  • @WalkthroughsMadeEasy Yes because their following Masahiro Sakurai's rule of Kirby not aloud to speak.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon and they didnt dub out his mouth moving because....?

  • @WalkthroughsMadeEasy They probably couldn't find a perfect "POYO" in this episode.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon the 4kids kirby is crap, horrible background music they use in every show they've taken. Unnecessary censorship, fucked up dialog, oh yea censoring foods and signs,hmmm....I could say more but this is 4kids, what do you expect, and no Vaati, 4kids best dubs wasn't kirby, none of them were.

  • Comment removed

  • @triipge Yes it was their best dub tripage, these are facts themselves that prove it. The Japanese version is complete and utter crap, their voice casts can't even match nor sync lip flap. Most of the dialog in the show was translated and the only scenes that did get cut out was stuff that kept delaying. The background songs were epic, a lot more fitting to Kirby's heroic standards than the Japanese version ever used considering the Japanese version didn't put them in the right moments.

  • Comment removed

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon what you just said are not facts, these are just your opinions, and whos says I was butthurt ;D I believe your the one thats butthurt, and I didn't read anything off from wikipedia bro, I watched some of there shows from the past and even now, I could always hear that background music they use in each episode and show. Kirby wasn't their best. like I said and I will say it again,the lip syncing is no different. I believe you need to get your own eyes and ears checked.Zaijian

  • @triipge They are facts and yes you are the one butthurt because you haven't even said one thing that has proven anything yet and by looking at your page your a 29 year old man who does nothing but troll. Yes you did read that off of wikipedia because it said the exact same thing. I watched the shows too and none of these BGMs have ever been used in any of their shows. You need to get your ears and eyes checked because mine are fine considering I've been doing audio editing for four years.

  • @VaatiTheWindDemon because kirby, like sonic, where meant for kids, thus where already kiddy, i have high hopes of the yu gi oh zexal dub, as its more children oriented than the last few. but i have to wonder, how much japan will they take out of this Japanese show lol

  • I never understood what the problem was with saying "Inhale" in English...

  • "Kirby! Suck it up!" Sounds like an insult more than a command...

    And I've noticed that the 4kids people like to stat the obvious and change any deeper meanings what so ever... if you can even know what they are saying because of all there heavy accents...

    Plus the choice of music seems to rush and muddle up the sound quality... sometimes well though ad simple music is MUCH better....

    Wow 4kids.... just Wow...

  • @Jwarrior987 4kids isn't the only company guilty of that. Basically, any anime that LOOKS like it could be for kids, will be mutilated so badly until it IS for kids, even if it was originally much deeper and darker. Take the 2003 Astro Boy anime. Sony did that shit. I'm suprised they kept most of the racism in tact, considering how the U.S. likes to try and sweep stuff like that under the rug. They destroyed any trace of anything else that was in the original, however, taking out death and love.

  • @UTAU53Yui Seriosly? ...wow. 4kids looks not so bad in comparison...

  • @Jwarrior987 Yeah. It's funny how the fan-dumb treats Funimation like anime-Jesus and 4Kids like the devil incarnate (lol not counting that little quote from James). NBC (yes, NBC), ADV, 4Kids, Funimation... they're all the same to me. Many dubbing companies still see cultural differences as the greatest obstacle in anime.

  • @UTAU53Yui You know? I would pay good money for a company to either dub an anime based on the subbed version or just sub for a living. Or maybe its just different

    points off view. Oh well. at least there's YouTube... XD

  • @Jwarrior987 ... You're implying that YouTube isn't the main target for butthurt companies to bitch about copyright and junk. I think internet streaming as a whole is going to cease to exist eventually. Or at least die and come back a few times.

    But I agree with you. I think I'd like it more though if I could watch subs while knowing that I didn't HAVE to, that there were good DUBS for all my favorite anime, too. It was really hard watching Astro Boy in Japanese with those Korean engrish subs.

  • who did the voice for "gaylu's" daughter?

  • @firefoxgotnogirl You mean Garlude? Silica is played by Veronica Taylor, aka Ash Ketchum, aka Delia Ketchum, aka that faggot from Dinosaur King, aka... the best English voice actress in the history of ever.

    Other than Candi Milo and Lara Jay Miller.

  • That was not stupid

  • The winner is 4kids

  • Weird, they didn't censor the part when Kirby got hit by his hat [0:16] for extreme violence, as they generally do...

  • meta knight sounded like a vampire in my opinion, but not one of those sparkly ones those kind are faggots

  • Whoa, Kirby can talk!?!

  • why must meta knight be an latino

    come on thats so stupid an rasistic

  • @mariomortadella

    It's not rasicist but it's horribly stupid and if their gonna make him italian at least get a italian voice actor not Eric Stuart.

  • 0:00

    Tiff: KERRBEEEY SUUUCKKK ITT UPPP!!!

    Me: No, just no

    *skips to 3:16

  • @thomas1999

    Thats the right answer which i would give to 4kids

  • @thomas1999

    Amen. Seriously.

  • whats with metanights voice in the english? O_o

  • Um........why the fuck does everything Kirby defeats explodes? Is there like gasoline in monster blood or something?

  • something tells me theyve shouldve yoused that blast from the start.

  • i never really like Zolo Meta Knight Jr.

    ever since he appeared in the games i never thoguht of a SPanich Meta Knight

    His Japanese voice ok but...meh...i wanted it more mysterious

  • pokemon the best 4kids dub

  • Spanish Meta Knight, shitty music, and Southern King Dedede are THE three things I hate about "Kirby: Right Back at Ya!"

  • When I watch the japanese one I get goosebumps,

    English sucks.

  • lol male japaneese sword turns tranny on american version

  • Also has anyone notices that the English dub looks so much more lighter, like the brightness...

  • 4kids is rubbish all of us know japanese is better

  • Okay heres something to know

    Good 4kids dub:

    Only things changed Removed blood, removed sweres

    Bad 4kids dub:

    All their dubs that change more than needed

    SERIOUSLY!!!

    They change the entire script usally and don't get me started on the over used voice actors, y'know 4kids it would be nice to have voice acting auditions and I don't mean audititions from your 4kids voice actors in your closet of "doom" I mean actually hosting it worldwide, also why did they need to change music?

  • the JApanese original version is clearly superrior to the 4kids dub. yet more evidence that 4kids fails.

  • was the music that played when galaxia was pulled a remix of the kirby game theme

  • @1990supersonic "Kirby - Final Strategy" 

  • 2:19 I HAVE THE POWERRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

  • and That how the Leagened of Zleda were Made ....Kehm

    What ...... i am just saying

  • @supercool1412 Zelda was made at LEAST 20 years before this came out, moron.

  • @XxKidGoku13xX it was just a Joke Jeez ur no fun XP and by the way i like Zleda too

  • okay ill agree 4kids's voices are more interesting (except for fumu's hers sucks so much i cant even explain it) but the origanal version is much better the actual attack is much more epic when kirby shouts the name of it

  • Kirby Air Ride music ftw

  • The original music kicks 4kids' ass.

  • "In sacrificing her life, Garlude made the ultimate sacrifice." ...WTF?

  • @tamamanito2 im sure it sounded better in japanese, besides, they were probably to bust erasing blood in another show to fix tit

  • why does silica screaming sound like ash from pokemon? >.<

  • @demipokeguin Because that's her voice actor. :D

    Ash- Veronica Taylor

    Silica- Veronica Taylor

    4Kids gets alot of the same voice actors for their dubs.

    The guy who plays Meta Knight (and Blade) in the dub also plays Brock and James from Pokemon, Kaiba from Yu-gi-oh!, etc. :D

  • @tamamanito2 really? didnt know that

  • original is better one of the music sets was from a kirby game (air ride) the way they presented the galaxia sword beam was WAY more epic

  • Yeah... I don't see THAT much of a difference except for japanese is a little bit more actiony while in 4kids it's more cartoony (actiony and cartoony, aren't i a sophisticated critic)

    But yeah I say you should be happy with this. it's not like they erased breast lines, censoring blood, making anime a giant western melting pot instead of a salad bowl, or changing riceballs to jelly donuts

  • what is this episode called!

    

  • From 2:30 to 2:34 it's faint but one can still hear Kirby saying "Galaxia Sword Beam" I uncovered this with Audacity. It was probably an error on 4Kids part, it was eithor retain the voice or retain the sound effect. The voice got greatly dimmed but the sound effect was greatly retained instead.

  • Comment removed

  • 0:21 haha mini Link (from zelda)

  • Why is Kirby the only GGI one?

  • my god, wtf this show about zelda? u.u

  • I literally lol'd when Galaxia's voiceover was female. Not that thats a bad thing, but its not fitting

  • @DemonKingNoctorno

    I would disagree, in most cases, we're used to the English voices, and can't get used to the Japanese voices, but if you get used to watching the Japanese versions of most animes, then the ENGLISH voices will sound strange and alien. If you get used to Japanese voices, you will find that the 4Kids voices sound unrehearsed, idiotic, and just plain crappy. Take Jason Griffith. A random guy off the street, while TMS anime gets a professional. Although, in Pokemon, English =best.

  • omg epic link kirby!!!

  • 3:03 Yesa Luigi,Verya Proud! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • 3:03 Yesa Luigi,Verya Proud! LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

  • at 0:25 i always hear "He must eat it kurosaki" O.o i don't know why

  • Where the fuck does MetaKnight get the random ass rocket launcher?

  • @krazy4videogames Silica/Sirica...the white injured lady in the scene.

  • @krazy4videogames It was Silica's. And I guess she dropped it or something. She's tarded. :P

  • Kirby suck it up!!!

  • Why did they make Kirby a mute in english? :/

  • @winter4abunny same reason why Link is mute

    GEE IT SURE IS BOOOORING AROUND HERE

  • @nik10hedgehog Link been mute. In Japanese Kirby talks but in english he doesn't.

  • @winter4abunny i know it was ment to be a joke

  • dam i want the bgm fro when silica grabs galixia

  • @rayman00107

    Yeah that theme rocks!

  • @CrimsonSnow

    that would be because 4kids always knows how to change big things in a series without screwing it up.

    As you can tell from the other shows they've dubbed. /end sarcasm/

  • Hurry! We need japan to click "infringes my copyright"

  • watch kirby's mouth at 2:31 Kirby was supposed to say something there but 4kids cut it out when they dubbed it but they kept it in the Japenese version. Why would 4kids do that? All kirby said was "Galaxia............. SWORD BEAM!"

  • @MrDeathrock9 He says it in Japanese, it wouldn't make sense for that to be kept in the English version.

    Still, they probably could have added a "Poyo" voice clip in their instead.

  • @PaperMario15 still

  • .......... there's a difference between sucking and inhaling ...... xD

  • Well it sounds like metaknight has a spanish/italian aaccent.

  • Kirby suck it up! Now swallow!

  • have you ever nodest that sword kirby is sort of like link. JUST LOOK AT THAT HAT!! AND THE GRUNTS!!

  • @7777TheShade yep years ago

  • Japenese version gave me a headache with their damn screaming

  • Galixa's english voice gives me a headace

  • @RioluTheShiny isn't it te'a gardner's vioce actor?

  • @DemonKingNoctorno

    Yes. Veronica Taylor did do Silica.

    (ASH LoL)

  • Kirby of zelda

    0:22

  • isn't the music @ 4:25 the drag race music from kirby air ride?

  • @impp010 yes it is.

  • WHOA Woah woah I'm having trouble comprehending this, 4kids actually admit that a character died? didn't see that one coming

  • Oh, but sometimes, Kirby's Japanese music >>>> Kirby's 4kids music

  • In the 4kids version, I just like the good music, the dub is horrible.

  • @BrainDS The voices are fine, but what they're forced to SAY is terrible.
