  • Glad to see this video come through! It's never too late for Battle Toads :D
  • @rogersebree4858
    If your theory is true then Maybe Kirby survived because sakurai already saved him. By refusing to make more Kirby games he saved Kirby and kept him as he was meant to be.
  • @AzaelBC
    Imagine being so good at what you do, that you build an entire game franchise that is just a message of "Please, let me be"
  • @hoodiepen
    This theory really makes sense as you play as Kirby in the beginning of the World of Light story mode. Kirby could also represent Sakurai (I mean it would be funny if you start playing as the Master Hand in this mode) as it was his creation--the beginning of successes in his game development career--and his embodiment of Kirby would be a catalyst in saving the soulless crossover of characters and thus would be a "celebration" of these franchises, as Matpat stated.
  • Honestly, this is really sad to hear. But also in a way, sweet. He saved his own creations and I love the fact Kirby survived since Kirby was basically the start of Sakurai's career. This theory is great and probably accurate. Solid video.
  • Matpat: makes amazing theory with symbolism and meaning Nintendo: we wanted cool light boi fighting cool dark boi
  • @Tank-101
    Game Theory says something sad. Also Game Theory: so anyways Nord VPN
  • Imagine how the Nintendo CEO watched this and then calling Sakurai: "Is this true?" AND THEN HELL BREAKS LOOSE AT NINTENDO HEADQUARTERS
  • This was one of the most profound stories I've heard about video games
  • Is it just me or was Matt at the end of the theory sounded like he was about to cry?
  • @aldingess1248
    Honestly i think this theory is spot on, if you listen to the lyrics of Lifelight you can hear that these characters are united in a struggle between two forces and even some of the other lyrics line up with the actions of both nintendo and the fans only for the characters to be released in the end from the struggle, their souls turned to ash like in the true ending
  • @ClingyParasite
    So Kirby surviving is Sakurai's dedication to not abandon his love for his creations even at the cost of his sanity
  • @blemis7656
    Maybe this is why Kirby was chosen to be the only surviving character. Kirby is technically Sakurai’s original creation, so perhaps this symbolizes Sakurai fighting against the issues discussed in the video. Just my thinking though...
  • Sakurai is an amazing game developer/creator I've played and enjoyed his Kirby games, he seems like such a good person, I hope his health is getting better from the time this video was made.
  • My wife and I are creators and I cant express how important these ideas are, and how much they scare us into not wanting to publish our works. The idea of corruption from money and big companies or a toxic/overly critical fandom. And that's if our stories do their absolute best. This world treats peoples personal stories, their works of love and intense labor and passion, like garbage. It really is heartbreaking.
  • @AlexDefiant
    Master hand army represents Nintendo... Crazy hand army represents waluigi fans
  • @bionicleanime
    After Sakurai sensei announced his early retirement, this theory carries more weight. Whatever the last dlc for Ultimate is, it will also be his final work on the Smash series. Thank you very much, Sakurai sensei!
  • out of all the World of Light Theories I've ever seen, this remains by FAR the best one.
