- —King Dedede
King Dedede is one of the main protagonists of the Kirby series. He appeared in the 108th episode of Death Battle, Wario VS King Dedede, where he fought against Wario from the Wario and Super Mario series.
History
King Dedede is the self-appointed king of Dream Land, in which he "ruled" over his subjects as a gluttonous and self-preening bother. While his motivations weren't always malicious, he had only a modicum of respect at best. Not helping was the arrival of a popular and heroic pink hero: Kirby, who once thwarted a scheme he had to steal all the food in Dream Land. Suffering from this loss, Dedede would train himself to surpass the abilities of his new rival, bolstering his speed and raw power, and even learning how to fly like Kirby. While he has still lost to Kirby numerous times, their rivalry has gotten on friendlier terms over the years, and he has even been willing to help Kirby on his adventures on several occasions. Dedede may never stop trying to compete with Kirby, and he may insist that he only cares about himself, but he truly has the heart of a hero, and will do anything to protect his friends.
