** When the Gaw Gaws confront them, the Kirbies each turn into a stylized version of an actual Kirby ability: the General is Staff, [=GlumOne=] is Cutter, [=BleakOne=] is Hammer, [=OddOne=] is Bomb, [=ProudOne=] is Sword, [=CaustiousOne=] is Archer, [=CutseyOne=] is Parasol, [=OldOne=] is Mike, [=BitterOne=] is Whip, and [=LostOne=] is a strange take on Copy (or perhaps on Shadow Kirby from [[VideoGame/KirbyAndTheAmazingMirror]]. Some of the abilities look different to fit the personality of the Kirby wielding them, like [=ProudOne=] wielding an elegant sabre and [=BitterOne's=] wielding a sharp spiked flail.

** Episode 10 pitted Adeleine against a Gao Gao, and throughout the fight, Adeleine is quite cocky and very clearly shows how little the Gao Gao can actually affect her despite its best efforts (and boy is it no slouch either). The size difference between the two fighters alone plainly show Adeleine as having no shortages of advantages over her opponent due to it, especially when put together with her trained kickboxing and magic art abilities. This all goes to show how it is next to impossible for most anything in this Kirbyverse to actually take her in a straight fight outside of maybe King Dedede simply because Adeleine is [[HumansAreChthulu a]] [[MouseWorld giant]] (a ''[[BoxingLessonsForSuperman trained giant at that]]''.

* DefeatMeansFriendship: [[spoiler:The General managed to rein in the violent [=BitterOne=] after beating him in a fight.]]

* LetsGetDangerous: The Kirbies each have varying personalities, some being less courageous than the others, yet when they need to fight they instantly don their own hats and weapons: The General becomes Staff Kirby with a hat like the Monkey King, [=BitterOne=] dons a spiked hat with a chain flail and spiked helmet, [=ProudOne=] puts on a pirate cap to go with his sword, [=OddOne=] breaks out the bombs with an orange jester's cap, [=GlumOne=] wears a beanie ap while dual-wielding scimitars, [=CautiousOne=] puts on a cap similar to Sword Kirby and readies a shield and arrows, [=BleakOne=] puts on his own black spiked cap ready to drop a spiked hammer on baddies, [=CutesyOne=] puts on a straw hat and gets ready to fight with a parasol, and [=OldOne=] becomes [[MusicalAssassin Mic Kirby]] complete with a little white bowtie. [=LostOne=] doesn't change or don any weapon, although sparks of electricity can be seen coming from him briefly.

** [[spoiler: Episodes 7 and 8 are cynical initially but steadily becomes more idealistic as they go along.]]

* {{Prequel}}: Comics 5-12 take place before the rest of the series and showcase why Adeline is the way she is in episodes 6 & 7.

** Comics 13 and 14 along with episode 9 each start off as lighthearted but gradually dip into the not-so-lighthearted stuff, the comics having Adeleine playfully pulling kick me pranks on King Dedede even as she gets older and bigger to where she can seriously injure King Dedede ([[ThisIsGonnaSuck much to his dread]]), making crepes for her sons who speculate that she is growing terminally ill with the tattoos on her that they weren't awake to see (and to which she decided to [[ImAHumanitarian crack a dark joke about]] after clearing the air), and then her and her sons play pretending village and trade only for some of her sons to get into a fight over [[Serious business taking it too seriously]] which results in her defusing the situation and calling them all back inside for a possible grounding (none of them had been seen misbehaving that badly and getting in trouble for it before, not even [=OddOne=] for drawing a BigFancyWang).

* ColorCodedForYourConvenience: While the Kirbies are all the usual pink body, they can be told apart from one another by the color of their eyes.

[=BleakOne=] and [=OldOne=] are special cases as they both have black eyes, yet they are still can be told apart by how [=BleakOne=] having EmptyEyes while [=OldOne=] is based on Kirby's original appearance.
* DarkReprise: The main theme gets a deeper, muffled remix for Episode 6 & 7.

* EarlyBirdCameo: King Dedede shows up in [=OldOne’s=] [[ImagineSpot Daydream]] in Episode 2 and again on the TV in Episode 6, apparently having been stealing food again. He shows up again with a more pronounced role in Comics 5-12

[=LostOne=] doesn't change or don any weapon, although sparks of electricity can be seen coming from him briefly.
* MegaMealChallenge: When visiting Kawasaki's restaurant in the fourth episode, Adeleine orders the Bottomless Pit meal, which consist of 100 plates. Kawasaki believes this will be easy money, but soon discovers that Adeleine brought her Kirbies with her and they manage to eat all 100 plates together. When Kawasaki demands payment, Adeleine [[ReadTheFinePrint points to where the plaque says]] that completing the challenge means she and her Kirbies get to eat free.

Some of the abilities look different to fit the personality of the Kirby wielding them, like [=ProudOne=] wielding an elegant sabre and [=BitterOne’s=] yo-yo being more akin to a sharp spiked flail.

** Episode 1-5 is very idealist featuring Adeline and the Kirbies having fun together, and apart from some {{Squick}} moments, it’s all very happy
** Comics 1-4 are a little less idealistic, showing some of the downsides of the relationship between Adeline and the company

** Comics 7 and 8 as well as Episode 6, are highly cynical, with Adeline's depressive mood setting a dark tone for the episodes [[spoiler:especially in the UnreadablyFastText end of video description for Episode 6]]
** [[spoiler: Episode 7 is cynical initially, but steadily becomes more idealistic as it goes along.]]

** [[spoiler:King Dedede stole food once, if not twice, and is unpleasant. As such, most people think he’s a bad person, and he is used as a scapegoat by the media]]

* UnreadablyFastText: After every episode except for Episode 7, each of the company has a description written by Adeline. [[spoiler:They get a second, darker version in Episode Six, showing the emotions that created them, as well as more wholesome descriptions In Episode 8 that seem to have been made as if Adaleine is talking to them, or telling King Dedede about them.]]

** The General:
-->Always in the front, acting as leader to the team. Since he seems to like leading and tries his best, I’ve decided to call him “The General” and the group shall be referred to as “The Company”.
-->[[spoiler:Alcohol is pretty good. Have you ever had a cold beer with pizza before? Hell yeah! I remember King used to drink a lot when I was younger and told me never touch “that stuff” and look at me now, [[BlatantLies I’m doing just fine.]] It’s about time I’m being taken seriously!]]
--> [[spoiler:He's generally the first one to check up on me when I'm a bit down. I'm so glad he and the others keep me company. He tries to be a leader, but he's such a scardey-cat. He is very easily startled. It's a but hard to take him seriously! ... I'm starting to sound like you... Hey! it's okay little guy, don't be mad at me! I know how you feel.]]
** [=GlumOne=]:
-->This one is always looking sad and is pretty pessimistic. He’s always thinking of worst case scenarios. I only see him smile when I’m either holding or petting him.
-->[[spoiler:Man… Life was magical when I was a kid. Nowadays, it’s just boring… Look at everyone with their “hope”, “dreams” and “high expectations”… You’re only setting yourself up for disappointment]]
-->[[spoiler:Look at this one, all Doom and Gloom. He reminds me of myself a couple years ago, hahaha! Oh, he's rarely seen with a big smile on his face. I get it, we don't need to smile to enjoy life! ...Though he does own a sharp weapon. I don't know how similar we are but I make sure to keep him safe and happy so he doesn't go all stupid with it.]]
** [=BleakOne=]:
-->“[=BleakOne=]” is the name of this guy. There’s a dark aura surrounding him. That being said, he’s just as gluttonous as the others but unlike them, he prefers to be petted on the stomach rather than the head.
-->[[spoiler:I hate having to go through the town to reach my favorite painting spot. I feel like everyone is there to judge me. They must be thinking “Oh, it’s the creepy girl again. She never speaks to anyone and only shows up on cloudy days.” Leave me alone [[GoshDangItToHeck damn it!]] I’m just doing my own thing!]]
-->[[spoiler:At first, I thought this one would be dangerous and evil. Turns out, he's just a little shit-stirrer who enjoys fighting and going all out! "Never trust a book by its cover", Yeah... I should know that... Yes, Shortcake, Mommy used to be a book.]]
** [=OddOne=]:
-->A rather strange fellow. His reactions are over the top and he’s always playing [[ThePrankster tricks on the others]] and jumping around. I’m always worried he’s going to hurt himself in the weirdest way possible. His favorite activity is headbutting any part of my body that is available.
-->[[spoiler:I don’t have to “behave” or “act classy”. What’s the point in acting anyways? Want me to fit in? Nobody wants that! [[BeYourself Everybody just wants to be themselves]]. Let me act a little crazy every once in a while. It doesn’t hurt anyone]]
-->[[spoiler:Ah, the little jester one. He looks like a lot of work but he knows what boundaries are. When I see he's not happy with a joke he's making, he just stops. It rarely happens too, so I know he only wants others to laugh. I'm prooud of him for being so cheerful. Huh? You know I'm watching you honey. That's why you're doing this trick now, right?]]
** [=ProudOne=]:
-->As confident and independent as this one looks, he absolutely loves when I play with him. The more we play, the more his childish side shows. When he realizes this, he quickly shifts his attitude and acts all mysterious again. It’s so cute!
-->[[spoiler:I’m a loner, most of the time but I spent a good chunk of my childhood with King. He was always looking after me, beck when I used to live in Dream Land. He was the perfect big brother but I’m totally fine by myself now. I still visit him to this day so he can see how good I’m doing by myself]]
-->[[spoiler:He's a complicated one but I got him figured out pretty quickly. He doesn't want others to see his more fragile side. I believe I'm the only one to have ever seen him cry. It takes a lot for him to fall into tears, but when he does, he still has the strength to wait until others are gone for him to cry on my neck. It's okay to cry, Bebe.]]
** [=CautiousOne=]:
-->Leave it to [=CautiousOne=] to tell you [[TheDitherer when things will go wrong]], most of the time he’ll be right! It took the longest time for me to gain his trust. If I was near him and only moving my finger, he would be ready to run.
-->[[spoiler:Everytime I visit King or go anywhere, I have to make sure that I’m not overwhelmed by people. I’m not agoraphobic! “better safe than sorry” are just words to live by and I don’t have the energy to fix problems caused by other people]]
-->[[spoiler:He's one of the three puff balls I can trust to tell the truth when some are misbehaving. I think he doesn't like the others enough to care if they get in trouble for acting stupid. ...Look, I know I'm not one to talk, but... I'd like for you to trust others... your brothers more. That would make Mommy very happy.]]
** [=CutesyOne=]
-->Now, he is the polar opposite of [=CautiousOne=]. He always wants to be with me and starts freaking out when I’m not nearby. I would be minding my own business and notice him climbing on me. Sucking my finger helps him relax when he’s stressed
-->[[spoiler:I like to please people. I can also get attached. I always make sure it’s not too much, however. I don’t want them to be freaked out. Maybe it makes me appear distant. If it wasn’t for my prudence, I would shower them with affection]]
-->[[spoiler:It's funny how quickly the situation in this family went from cheering me on and making me feel more secure to them becoming extremely dependent on cuddles and kisses. Apperently it heals them and puts them at ease. Ah! Speaking of "cuddles" and "kisses". These are your favorite words, huh? Come here, Baby boy. I was a big hugger too, in my younger years! Ask Uncle King.]]
** [=OldOne=]
-->There is a charming “old-timey” feel to this one, I don’t know why. He likes the [[VideoGame/KirbySuperStar spring breeze]] a lot for some reason. He also loves to sing but my ears don’t like it too much. One thing I’ve noticed with [=OldOne=] is that he [[TheKlutz trips and falls on his face]] a lot.
-->[[spoiler:I would love to have someone under my protection. Just like King did for me, I would be there for them, play with them, teach them new things about life. There’s nothing wrong with that idea! I may be clumsy and it could be said that this s my main flaw but come on! That would be adorable!]]
-->[[spoiler:You know, this one treats two of his brothers like I used to treat Revol, Pistol, and Raifol back at your castle. He even likes to sing for everyone but... Let's say I'll have to teach him how to lower his voice. Also... I don't know if you [[TheKlutz tripping]] all the time is due to your strange way of walking or if it's a jab at me being a bit of a mess sometimes... You don't understand anything I'm saying, right? Blah, blah, blah! Hahaha!]]
** [=BitterOne=]
-->An aggressive bully. When we’re playing outside he often starts fights with animals and insects, not realizing he may be at a disadvantage because of his size. Even during his sleep, he’s frowning! Despite this he requires about as much love as the others, He just won’t say it and cross his arms!
-->[[spoiler:It may not look like it but I became a lot stronger over the years. My punching bag allows me to exercise quite often. I also became “grumpier” and “aggressive” according to King… [[labelnote:Below]]I mean, I don’t know, it sounds like a kiloton of bullshit that he pulled out of his ass or something. The [[PrecisionFStrike fuck]] does he even know about me?! I’ll show you “grumpy” and “aggressive” [=Mr.IRobMyKingdomOfTheirFoodEverynight!=] That’s right we all know it! [=NyahNyah-BlahBlahBlaaah=]![[/labelnote]]]]
-->[[spoiler:...Um? You want to train with me? Do you want a fair fight? I can draw you a Jumbo Candy if you lik- No?... My hand? You want to fight my hand?! Hah! We both know this is a bad idea, Sweetie. Go ask someone else or wait until later today, ok? I know, I know "You're no fun, Mom!". That was never on my resume. We'll train later, I promise. Do you promise you'll be there? Give me a "Promise Kiss". I love you too, Sweetie.]]
** [=LostOne=]
-->I Don’t think he knows who I am. I don’t think he even knows where he is. He never talks, rarely emotes. When I think he’s finally looking at me, he’s in fact lost in his thoughts. I’m just happy the others are not neglecting him. Sometimes I would notice he’s absent from the group only to find him sleeping in my shoe.
-->[[spoiler:*Sigh* It’s ok. [[BlatantLies I don’t care.]] I’ll just keep on doing what I do best: Enjoy my life without a care in the world. I’ll cook, dance, shine… Anything. Sleep and observe. Observe the world, people everything! I’ll analyze and replicate anything in my paintings. I am whoever I want to be. Just don’t get on my bad side or things will get rather explosive]]
-->[[spoiler:I got to be honest, I don't really understand this one but the look he always gives is the same one I have in front of a canvas, according to you. I always hated when you pointed this out. So, maybe this baby is looking for inspiration. ... You're very good at mimicking your brothers in combat, little one. You're like a white canvas: you can be anything you want to be. ANYTHING. And Mommy supports that.]]

* WatchOutForThatTree: In her [[BlindedByRage blind rage]], Adeleine ends up running head first into a tree while chasing the Gaw Gaw family.

* LetsGetDangerous: The Kirbys each have varying personalities, some being less courageous than the others, yet when they need to fight they instantly don their own hats and weapons: The General becomes Staff Kirby with a hat like the Monkey King, [=BitterOne=] dons a spiked hat with a chain flail, [=ProudOne=] puts on a pirate cap to go with his sword, [=OddOne=] breaks out the bombs with an orange jester's cap, [=GlumOne=] wears a beanie ap while dual-wielding scimitars, [=CautiousOne=] puts on a cap similar to Sword Kirby and readies a shield and arrows, [=BleakOne=] puts on his own black spiked cap ready to drop a spiked hammer on baddies, [=CutesyOne=] puts on a straw hat and gets ready to fight with a parasol, and [=OldOne=] becomes [[MakeMeWannaShout Mic Kirby]] complete with a little white bowtie. [=LostOne=] doesn't change or don any weapon, although sparks of electricity can be seen coming from him briefly.

* DeerInTheHeadlights: [[spoiler:When The General sees Adeleine approach in Reincarnation, the first thing he does is panic in terror at the giant right in front of him and closes his eyes in hopes she doesn't notice. Unfortunately for him, he's sending out a signal that is catching her attention, so she notices]]. {{Justified|Trope}}, as he just barely won a fight not long before, and is in no shape to run.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:King Dedede is a good person, and is nice to Adeline, but was never given a chance for redemption, meaning he is scapegoated by the media. He does try to make sure Adeline grows up to be someone who is good and kind, and not someone like him who is good but gruff and insensitive.]]
** [[spoiler: In Episode 6 and 7, Adeleine is seemingly reimagined as a rude drunk who actively stares daggers at a Waddle Dee for looking at her, and appears to be a bit of a loner. Despite herself and her attitude, Adeleine's gruff attitude melts away when The General cries, and she rubs The General's head to show some affection for the poor little thing. Furthermore, she shows a level of fear and concern when The General collapses out of hunger.]]

* LiteralSplitPersonality: Episode 6 [[spoiler:heavily implies that the Kirbies are multiple {{reincarnation}}s of [[VideoGame/KirbyStarAllies Void]] that were born through Adeleine's myriad of emotions]] WordOfGod confirms that this is indeed what happened.
