Here come the day
Now it’s time to say

Get out the way
Watch me make it
Watch me take it
See the guap all on my jacket
I got medals n' you jus plastic
Yea mama she called me a chick magnet
I'm the coldest my cold u get it
Sing my truth I'm never cappin'
Be the greatest
See me face
N' how I'm with it all the static
Comin' to the top for my shine oh no
Ima be the greatest of my time oh no
Led me wrong two three more times
Said no more cause you blowin' mines
Black heart don’t shine no more
Needed stars to glow oh wow
Led me wrong two three more times
Said no more of ya romance crimes
Caught my eyes when you came through
I'm just chillin', writin'
Singin' in the stu
rappin' in the stu
'bout how Ima fool
Yea I shoulda never even trusted you
I stay quiet when we 'bout to fight
Jus mindin' mines through out the night
Do what you wanna do
Ima take off
Yea I'm 'bout to take flight
I been drivin' through the night
Cause I seen my crown hidden in the light
N' I been gettin my wings ready
Next time you look up see me in the sky
Next to the stars and the clouds and the sun
When I thought I knew you you lied
Now I’m hurtin' on my song
When I’m up don’t be surprised
Comin' to the top for my shine oh no
Ima be the greatest of my time oh no
Led me wrong two three more times
Said no more cause you blowin' mines
Black heart don’t shine no more
Needed stars to glow oh wow
Led me wrong two three more times
Said no more of ya romance crimes
I’m always livin my own thoughts
Too honest yea I said too much
Don’t talk too much
Not in no rush
Cause when I sing the room go hush
So hush lil shawty
Hear this melody
Lemme hear how I’m you favorite
Lemme hear how when you play For My Shine
Then Ima be famous
Shawty queen n' call me king
But she not good enough for me
N' she gon' see me when I win
Cause Ima be on television
She wanna be the master
The protector of her own feelings
But she don’t care bout no one else
So I gotta focus on my healing
Here come the day
Now it’s time to say
How I'm not with the games
I’m not gonna play
Not gonna pay
Songs I could make
Said you love me ok, o wait
Cause you left next day, o wait

Led me wrong two three more times
Said no more cause you blowin' mines

@Gage Piel in brawl they were heroes. But for some odd reason in ultimate, king dedede’s character descriptions never mention his heroics and only go on about how he stole dreamland’s food. I understand it was the first Kirby game, but still annoying that they never mention his more compassionate side. This is a problem because with how frequently it’s brought up, “Dedede steals the food in Dreamland” seems like it happens as frequently as Bowser kidnapping Peach to a non Kirby fan. Additionally, despite Palutena’s Guidance bringing up Subspace Emmisary multiple times, King Dedede’s guidance only goes over his Gordo Throw and never mentions how he was basically the biggest Hero of Brawl’s Story

He was also featured in the heroes vs. villains splatfest from Splatoon 2 (Seen here in this image https://splatoonwiki.org/wiki/File:S2_Splatfest_Hero_vs_Villain.png ) he’s on the villains side with the likes of Ganondorf, Ridley, K.Rool, and Bowser. Additionally Pearl and Marina constantly go on about all villains being evil, dastardly characters that basically want to rule the world. although to be fair they also considered Dark Pit a villain when he’s not either. To be even fairer, Splatoon Dialogue is intentionally cheesy and over exaggerated

But, Smash also had a heroes vs villains event. In the promotional image they imply meta knight as a villain, ( shown here in this link https://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_Event_Tourneys#/media/File%3AHeroes_Vs._Villains.jpg )

and this happens again when they had another tournament event based on characters that have “fallen to darkness” which, again, feels wrong to compare Meta Knight to a character like Sephiroth

Too be clear i don’t hate evil characters. Bowser and Jr. are some of my favorite Mario characters actually. It’s more annoying that it feels like Sakurai is ignoring Dedede’s heroics because he was “Evil” in 3 of the 4 games he likes to represent. Imagine if Donkey Kong was constantly deemed evil because of the Mario Vs. DK series? That’s kinda how Dedede feels



@insertacreativename674

So spoiler ahead about a gacha figure of King dedede:







There's a gacha figure of him and kirby that talks about how Dedede is not a villain, he and kirby are the sworn rivals of Dreamland (in Dedede's words), but not enemies, the gacha even says how King Dedede was disappointed when he came into the forgotten land and didn't found Kirby somewhere, so yeah, he is not evil, just competitive and usually possessed.



@grayanddevpdx

“Hai! (You okay?)”
“Uagh, I was tricked into putting on that mask… I’ve never had a worse headache.”
beast pack appears and song plays
“Poyo! (Let’s get out of here!)”
“Wanya! (Yeah, let’s hurry!)”
kirby, dedede, and the waddle dees start running
one dee falls
“Hang on, weren’t there three of the dees?”
dedede sees waddle dee
“Hang on, I’ll save ya!”
“Poyo pauy! (Wait! I’ll hold the door!)”
dedede motif plays
“…sorry Kirby… I won’t make it. But this Waddle Dee will!”
dedede throws the waddle dee
“Leave! I’ll hold ‘em off!”
”It’s clobber’n time!”
“Puay! (No!)”
door closes

That last shot of dedede standing there, hammer raised, fully ready to go down swinging against a horde of bloodthirsty beasts... Truly, he has earned the title of king.

@archangelsupreme4963

Oh no! (Runs back to the fallen Waddle Dee) I got ya buddy! (Oh man, I don’t think I can get both of us to the elevator…unless) KIRBY! Take the Waddle Dees and go! I’ll take care of this crazed creature crusade! (Raises hammer) COME AND GET SOME OF THE TRIPLE D! RRRAAAAGGGGH!

@Konh-Minh

Little detail, but Dedede's hammer is just as worn out as he is. You can see the cracks and scuffs in the wood as he takes it out. He was entering a fight against an army with a hammer on the verge of breaking, and still held his ground. I'm willing to bet even after the head broke, he used the handle like a club to buy some extra time.

@ping2641

@Archangel Supreme read this in his anime voice, absolutely perfect

@archangelsupreme4963

@Ping I was thinking the exact same thing!

@braydenroth2735

And no one really knows what happened to him until the credits showed his face once more.

Let me remind you all that Kirby just beat him down TWO health bars, and he was struggling to get up from that a minute ago. But the second his minion is in danger, all traces of exhaustion vanish and he's ready to go down swinging. Compare that to Super Star Ultra where he was basically sacrificing his entire castle's population to Kirby, just to slow him down.

One of the King's most badass moments, for sure, and if we needed proof that Dedede's an outright hero now, this is pretty much it.

...also that leopardskin coat is awesome and I kinda hope he keeps it going forward.

@fleshdadbot6852

In my opinion, i think the slaughter in ultra was hurting him, breaking his soul from the inside, as when bandana wanted to go, he denied it and lent him a spot in the now empty stands

@parzival-bo

@flesh dadbot It was definitely starting to weigh on him near the end...but honestly? He didn't even seem to think about it until Bandana Dee pointed out that Kirby was just straight-up way too strong for any mook to beat.

YMMV, but that's when I think it really hit home for him what he was doing, and that's when he started to consciously change.

@fleshdadbot6852

@Parzival-Bo ymmv??
