Dedede, called King Dedede by his subjects, is one of the seven main characters of the Kirby: Behind the Scenes series. He is the leader of Dream Warriors by default as he is the King of Dream Land. He and Waddle Dee Jr. are the first characters introduced in the series, appearing the the very first scene of the first installment.

He is also one of the six main characters in the first installment, along with Waddle Dee, Cloud, Raven, Waddle Doo and and Drawcia (who was a antagonist at the time). He is the son of Derin and Diantia, the previous King and Queen of Dream Land. His grandfather, Derek, was once King of Dream Land before passing the title down to Derin. Dedede is the 4th King of Dream Land.

He is the Kirby: Behind the Scenes series' incarnation of King Dedede from the games.

Appearance[]

Main Article: Dedede/Gallery
Dedede looks very much like his counterpart from the games with no differences. He is a blue Billow Bird with a yellow beak and two yellow feet on the bottom of his body. His royal attire is the same as his game counterpart as he wears a red robe with white rims and white cuffs that has the peace sign symbol on the back, a cap with a yellow rim around it and a white fluff ball on the top, yellow gloves on his hands and a zigzag-patterned obi around his waist with the top being yellow and the bottom being red. Despite that his feathers are not drawn to show a lot of detail, Dedede's feathers feels much like a fuzzy stuffed animal when touched or hugged.

In the Classic Chapters, Dedede's eyes are slanted similar to his counterpart seen in the Kirby anime series, making him look like he was scowling. In the Modern Chapters, Dedede's eyes are now drawn more alike his game counterpart with the addition that he has floating eyebrows, similar to cartoon characters.

During battles, Dedede takes off his hat and robe to prevent them from getting damaged but he keeps on his obi and puts on a white headband around his head. He also has a brown strap for carrying swords that is strapped around his right shoulder.

For bed, Dedede wears a shirt with his royal emblem, a nightcap and a pair of pants. He doesn't wear his gloves when he is in his pajamas, revealing his hands.

As a kid, Dedede looks much like he does now except shorter and he has three ruffs of feathers on his head. He also wore a red shirt with his family's emblem on it and orange shorts. He also didn't wear gloves yet either.

Personality[]

Unlike his video game counterpart, who is known to be selfish and greedy, Dedede doesn't show any of these traits as he is shown to be kind and unselfish with an example of Dedede's unselfish nature was that keeping his kingdom and subjects safe was his motivation to stop Drawcia and her schemes of trying to kill him, thus showing well that Dedede will put the well being of other people before his own and a example of his kindness is that he showed generosity to Drawcia by letting her stay at Castle Dedede. Early in the series, Dedede was shown to have a bit of a temper and get annoyed easily but he has since mellowed out with both of the traits, these were often seen when Dedede was either call something fat related or when people accidentally destroyed something of his.

During combat situations, Dedede is shown to be brave as he shows no signs of cowardice or fear of getting injured in battle though he is not reckless in any shape or form as he tries his best to be careful to not get injured during battle. Dedede has shown that he does keep a calm attitude both during battle and stressful situations, as seen in Chapter 3 when Waddle Doo was panicking about the mustache and suitcase popping out of thin air on the security footage. Dedede has also shown that he is optimistic and doesn't let negative situations get him down.

Dedede has shown that he is knowledgeable on various subjects, especially science as he knew that Mumbies are vulnerable to sunlight and fire when Waddle Dee asked him how to handle Drawcia's replicas of the creature. He also has a interest in Fossil Park, Star Blasters and Galactic Quest, some well known science fiction franchises in the K: BTS universe.

Abilities[]

Dedede's strength

An example of Dedede's strength, he is strong enough to crack Drawcia's force field with physical strength alone.

Being a Billow Bird, Dedede has a high level of physical strength as shown many times in the series and due to his Billow Bird fat, Dedede has immunity to ice attacks that are wind based but he will still feel pain from ice attacks with sharp blades but Dedede would be immune to the cold coming from theses attacks.

His fat also gives him some defense again sharp objects and blunt blows, suggesting that Billow Bird fat is quite thick. Dedede is also a skilled swordsman as he is seen able to launch Sword Beams at enemies and that he is very skilled in swordplay.

Despite his immense strength, Dedede doesn't purely rely on his strength in battle as he is shown that he is quite strategic as he usually comes up with strategies of how to fight his opponent. He is also opportunistic and will attack if his enemy isn't paying attention.

Weapons[]

  • Nightbane
    Debut: Chapter 1
    This sword was the one Dedede was seen using from Chapter 1 and it was his main weapon until Chapter 4. It resembled a katana with brown handle with clothe for gripping.
  • Mallet
    Debut: Chapter 2
    Much like his game counterpart, Dedede has a mallet though he rarely uses it.
  • Crisis Sword
    Debut: Chapter 4
    This sword became Dedede's main weapon during Chapter 4 and remained his main weapon until Chapter 10. It has a green hilt, a silver center and a dark grey outline for the sharp edge of the blade and it has Dedede's emblem on it near the hilt.
  • Nailblade
    Chapter 10
    A somewhat large Nailblade from Dedede's sword collection, it is the replacement of the Twin Saw Blades from the tradition and first digital versions of the series.

Attacks[]

Sword Attacks[]

  • Sword Beam
    Debut: Chapter 4
    A technique from the games. Dedede simply swings his sword, creating a blue crescent shaped blade of Brawler Aura at his enemy. It is powerful but disappears after it has hit something, as shown in Chapter 4 after it hit Drawcia's vacuum cleaner that she was using in place of her broom at the time. However, if it hits an enemy, the Sword Beam disappears on contact and the opponent is sent flying depending on how much force was put into the swing.

History[]

Past[]

Dedede was born the prince of Dream Land. He met Waddle Dee Jr., Cloud, Raven and Rachel when they were each babies and they often played together as kids. One day when he was 5 years old, Raymond and Layla, the King and Queen of Planet Ripple Star came to Dream Land to visit as well as to have Rippla try to make a friend as she had a difficult time making friends due to her shyness. Dedede and Rippla introduced themselves to each other and Raymond reminded Rippla that she needed to study for a test about Planet Rippla Star's history.

When he was 11 years old, a gang of thieves raided the castle and killed his mom and dad to get his family's fortune. Waddle Dee Sr., who was the Derin's henchman at the time, was told by Queen Diantia to take him away from the castle for his safety. After Waddle Dee Sr. told him want happened to his parents and that he was now the King, Dedede was a little hesitant about his new responsibilities but he knew that he was next in line for the throne. As his first order as King, Dedede ordered his Waddle Dee army to attack the bandits that night and after they were dealt with, Dedede was in a traumatized state from the death of his parents that he was crying non-stop until Rippla hugged him, effectively calming him down.

About 2 years prior to Kirby: Behind the Scenes, Dedede and Waddle Dee met Waddle Doo, who came from the Salt Desert from the north. The 3 became good friends and Dedede hired Waddle Doo as his mechanic, despite his young age. For the next 2 years, Dedede ruled Dream Land peacefully.

Rippla[]

Rippla is a close friend of Dedede's from his childhood as well as Dedede's crush. Unknowingly to him, he is her very first friend as well as she quickly became open to him when they first met as her parents told her that he was royalty like she was. Dedede also introduced her to Waddle Dee Jr., Cloud and Raven, who she made friends with.

However, she felt more closer to Dedede as she calmed him down after he was in a traumatized state after the deaths of his parents. Dedede cares for her a lot and often wonders why she hasn't came to Dream Land in 10 years to the point that it frustrates Dedede to the point that he thinks he did something wrong.

Unknowingly to Dedede, his kindness and politeness towards her during their childhood has ended up with the Princess of Planet Ripple Star having a crush on him. Dedede likes Rippla for that she is kind and he finds her to be pretty cute, both in appearance and personality. He even finds her clumsiness and shyness cute as well. Eventually, Waddle Doo will tease Dedede about Rippla being his girlfriend with Dedede reacting by blushing and being flustered, this is to imply that he has a crush on her as well.

Dedede however fears that Rippla's parents wouldn't approve of them being together and that Rippla may like someone else.
