YMMV / Kirby Adventure

Go To

  • Arc Fatigue: "To The Tower," an early arc, took a little over 40 segments to complete, and ended up being cut short due to the 100th comic coming at the end of it. "Jetting Across the Ice" took 51. The author even ending up lampshading it when "Ice" reached the same number of segments as "Tower." "Division Addition" wasn't nearly as long (only 30), but it took six months to complete due to some of the author's other projects, like his Let's Plays.
    • "Master Of Puppets" was a whopping 60 chapters long!
  • Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: Wiz's reappearance in "Tree To Tree" where he teleporting Kirby away to a zone created by him before getting eaten by Caiya, who somehow also managed to land herself there.
    • "Tear In The Fabric" was a strange story arc about the fabric of reality being torn apart and the fourth wall being destroyed. It was never referenced since.
  • Catharsis Factor: Many rejoiced after seeing Shadik brutally crush Zykan with the powers of the Shadow Orb.
  • Complete Monster: Zykan is a thug working with Talzo who uses chivalry to disguise his cruelty. Despite being an "honorable knight", Zykan frequently uses underhanded tactics such as turning Saia into a statue and threatening to smash her if the KAS members didn't surrender. He later kills Keito by stabbing him while his back was turned, even though his orders were to not kill anyone. When Talzo protests this, Zykan shows no remorse and simply knocks him out for getting in his way. After Kiina refuses to fight due to her pacifism, Zykan forcefully reprograms her to be much more aggressive. He then attacks HAND and massacres most of their members to get to the leader, Yiel, so he can force him to finish brainwashing Kiina. When his right-hand man Whirr is wounded in battle, Zykan leaves him to die rather than fix his injury. In the final confrontation against the KAS, Zykan kills his creation, "Soo", for talking to the KAS rather than fighting them. Remorseless and needlessly cruel to his teammates and his enemies alike, Zykan darkens the mood in an otherwise lighthearted webcomic.
  • Crazy Is Cool: NAVO, especially in his second appearance, where he breaks into Division A's base while shouting "Hi Honey I'm Home."
    Whirr: Really now. That's your battle cry.
    NAVO: NAVO is an expert in the uttering of phrases.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Zykan has quite possibly become one of the most popular characters (though not one of the most liked characters) in the comic. While initially appearing as just one of Talzo's thugs, ever since he killed Keito he's become something of a Breakout Villain.
    • Dark Matter gained a lot of popularity right from its initial appearance.
  • Evil Is Cool: Zykan, for being a stoic Black Knight and Hero Killer.
  • Fan Nickname: Talzo's boss has a few prior to the reveal of his identity, typically referred to as either "Mysterious Shadowy Guy", "Red-Eyes Guy" or more simply, "the Big Bad".
  • Growing the Beard: Originally, Kirby Adventure was meant to be just a random comic with few plots. After the "To The Tower" segment, however, the comic becomes more serious and structured.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: In "Tear In The Fabric", Kaxo destroys a yarn version of Keito, leading the real Keito to think Kaxo is trying to kill him. Come "Infitration", the real Keito winds up getting killed by Zykan.
  • Memetic Badass: Zykan, slayer of yellow kirbies.
  • Moral Event Horizon:
    • Zykan crosses it by killing Keito and just keeps going from there.
    • Not-Kaxo crosses it when he prevents Master Green from leaving his dimension, causing him to get trapped in white space.
  • Seasonal Rot: Chapter 3 is often considered to be the worst of the five chapters, as it turned Kirby into too much of a serious character, and contained several of the weakest segments such as "Tree To Tree" and "Tear In The Fabric"note . However, Chapter 3 did end with the well-received "Master Of Puppets" segment, and Chapters 4 & 5 ended up regrowing the beard considerably.
  • Tear Jerker: Has its own page.
  • The Woobie:
    • Vezo. He constantly gets picked on by Kaxo, has self-confidence issues, and has one of his close friends kidnapped and reprogrammed by Talzo's gang.
    • NAVO as well, surprisingly. He's only a part of Talzo's Gang because he thinks they're the only ones who accept him, even though they don't like him very much. The first person to even treat him nicely is Keito and he gets killed by Zykan.
