Galacta Knight (also known as the Aeon Hero in Super Kirby Clash) is a recurring yet powerful boss in the Kirby series. He is famously known as the Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy from an ancient past, a time that were forgotten, and were sealed away in fear of his power.

Despite Galacta Knight's semi-common appearances, a majority of them are considered non-canon, with only his role in Super Kirby Clash being canon.

In "alternate" canon[]

Meta Knight had collected power from all the stars around Pop Star, and used them to summon the wish-granting comet clock, NOVA. Meta Knight then wished to fight the strongest warrior in the galaxy to increase his own power. This warrior was Galacta Knight, and NOVA warned Meta Knight that Galacta Knight was sealed away due to fear his powers were too great. NOVA then summoned Galacta Knight, and the duel began.

Galacta Knight was defeated, however, and exploded, temporarily losing his angelic wings. He later appeared in Kirby's Return to Dream Land as the third-to-last boss in The True Arena.

He also appeared in Kirby: Planet Robobot, where Star Dream summoned him to test Meta Knight's skills after the latter defeated clones of Dark Matter and Queen Sectonia. But shortly after he was summoned, Galacta Knight instantly slashed Star Dream and nearly destroyed him, prompting the latter to activate his final program, Star Dream Soul OS.

He appears once again in Kirby Star Allies, where he appeared as the apparent final opponent of the friend that serves as the main character of Guest Star mode, only for mysterious butterfly to land on his lance, disintegrate him, and then absorb his energy to transform into Morpho Knight — the true final boss of the Guest Star mode.

Kirby TV[]

He reappears in Kirby TV in Episode 3 (coming soon). Years after his defeat in Kirby's Return to Dream Land's True Arena, Galacta Knight was lying unconscious on Egg Engines, until Metal General EX and HR-D3 found him on a bridge. He slowly wakes up and recovers from his defeat. While his wounds were slowly healing, he went revenge on Kirby and Meta Knight, and Metal General EX decides to help him. HR-H, HR-E and HR-D3, the latter with Metal General EX and his friend Marx controlling it, assist him on his journey.

Later, he finds Grand Doomer and the Sphere Doomers and they want to help him too, and later Wham Bam Jewel. They knock Meta Knight out of consciousness and take him to NOVA, where Marx tortures him (after he woke up) until he reveals where Kirby is: fighting Chameleo Arm on Hotbeat.

Kirby, however, gets warned by , who is also fleeing for Galacta Knight, about his presence. Kirby flees to Halfmoon. He's stopped by Computer Virus. The Magician and the Puppet are knocked unconscious. Suddenly Meta Knight cuts HR-H, HR-E and HR-D3 in half. Galacta Knight is defeated at the end.

Kirby: Returning Legends[]

In the sequel of Kirby: Right Back At Ya!, Galacta Knight was the leader of the whole Star Warriors army who went missing during a war, and was seen again one year after the Sirica incident, now being corrupted by an extraterrestrial butterfly named Valfrey. He is also Gala's biological father.

Galacta Knight's appearance resembled to his Kirby Super Star Ultra style, while his mask, boots and wings looked like his Light and Dark Form in Super Kirby Clash. He also has a larger spear as well, which, in truth, hides Morpho Knight's Flare Sword.

In the Kirby Returning Legends rework, his Light Form is the base form instead of the original design

History of Galacta Knight (Moonstar365)[]

Galacta Knight was a knight of Popstar from long ago. His old name was Galaxon, before he rose up to the knight rank. He had a little sister named Galaxia (Meta Knight's sword's namesake) whom he trained as his apprentice. One day, Galacta Knight made an announcement that he was leaving Popstar for good. Most people were displeased to hear this, especially his sister. He convinced her that he wanted to explore the galaxy and find amazing wonders that he could take back home, but it reality he was just going out there in search of power, and was never coming back. After saying his final farewell to his friends and family, he set off in his rocket ship into the stars.

Galacta Knight spent many years slowly building up his power to the point he was considered one of the most powerful beings in the galaxy. He traveled all around helping others to gain allies and powers from the evils he defeated. He founded the Knights of Yore, a team that consisted of the four most powerful knights in the galaxy. The team consisted of himself, King Dargoe of Floralia, MetalKnight 3000: a robot designed by Galacta himself, and the lonely Morpho Knight.

One day, the Ancients were being attacked by the monster known as Void Termina, and despite their immense power, couldn't defeat it. Galacta saw this as an opportunity to gain the trust of the most powerful race in the universe, as well as harvesting the powers of Void Termina. He and his team fought long and hard against the monster, and eventually was able to seal it away. Galacta Knight expected to be praised and glorified, but was instead feared by the Ancients. They attacked him, but he got away.

Galacta Knight was furious at them, but at the same time realized: If they fear me, then that means I must be more powerful than them, and that I am strong enough to do whatever I want without consequence! This is when he started to spread a wave of terror throughout the galaxy. Destroying planets, ruining the lives of thousands, and stealing powers from people who he once called his friends. He even took some power from Zero to create a monster that helped him on his conquest. His team's bond had shattered during this period, King Dargoe was the first to go, as he hated how Galacta had changed his ways, and his kingdom went to war. Galacta Knight spared all but Dargoe in that fight. The next to go was MetalKnight 3000 who tried stealing all of Galacta's power to prevent him from continuing his rampage. When Galacta found out about his creation's actions, he quickly destroyed the robot, leaving no remains behind. Finally, Morpho Knight was the last to go, she disappeared without a trace. The Ancients realized their grave mistake, and set out an army to go after him.

Galacta was aware of the approaching army and so he sat and waited for their arrival within his ship, The Lancer. During his wait, he got a surprise visit from a former friend, Morpho Knight. She stated that she had always been watching and judging him since the day he met, and now knew that he was unworthy of the power he held, and that he must be taken down; it was time for judgement day. The two fought for what felt like hours, and Galacta was shocked at how powerful she was and was worried that he would lose. So, as a last minute resort, he used the most powerful ability he had, and turned her into a harmless butterfly. The butterfly quickly retreated and Galacta Knight was left alone once more, except he was weaker. Using that much power had taken a toll on him.

When the Ancient Army finally showed up, they entered a harsh and long battle, but in the end they were able to trap the Aeon Hero due to his weaker state, preventing him from doing any more harm. They sent him to another dimension where he remains imprisoned to this day. His monster was lost to time being passed around through the ages as some random locked box by countless people without them realizing the true horrors within. Today, the box is kept inside Dream Land's castle. At last, the galaxy was free from the Knight that sought for power..... for now.

  • At the end, he finally reveals himself after he realizes he has no other choice but to, and the gang fights him. His battle has three different stages:

Kirby: Taranza’s Revenge[]

It’s unknown if this is true, but this ancient warrior from deep in the past was one of a quartet of Ancient Heroes that sealed away Void Termina long ago. But for some reason, he grew power hungry, forcing the people of the time to lock him in a seal for eternity. Now, he floats endlessly throughout the galaxy, looking for someone to take revenge on. Take down this Temporal Entity!
Gacha Figure Description - Kirby: Taranza’s Revenge (retold)


Kirby: Last Goodbye[]

Galacta Knight is the fifth to last boss in the sub-game Crisis of Jambastion. He later appears as the penultimate boss of Unwavering Foe, and Last Goodbye in general, summoned by Lacuna in order to defeat Kirby. Upon his defeat, Lacuna absorbs some of his power to become Lacuna Knight.

Kirby: Galactic Revenge[]

In Kirby: Galactic Revenge, Galacta Knight is the main antagonist. In this game, he wakes up in Another Dimension. He has a flashback from Unwavering Foe in Kirby: Last Goodbye. Where Lacuna fused with him, but then Lacuna Knight was defeated by Kirby. Galacta Knight obtained some of Lacuna's powers upon her defeat. Galacta Knight then evilly smiles under his mask and says that he will use this power to erase time and destroy the universe. He then flies to Another Dimension and begins his evil plot.

Throughout the game, it is believed by Kirby and his friends that Shadow Magolor Clone was the villain behind this. However, when he is defeated, if the true ending upon his defeat is unlocked, Magolor, Bandana Dee, Meta Knight, King Dedede and Landia come with the Lor Starcutter and say that Shadow Magolor Clone is not the villain behind this. They found out that it was actually Galacta Knight behind this. So Kirby sets off again to find Galacta Knight and stop him. The heroes first fight Galacta Knight, then Galacta Knight (Light), then Galacta Knight (Dark). After that, Galacta Knight obtains the powers from the Jamba Heart and uses it to turn himself into Galacta Void. The Galactic Destroyer of Worlds. After Galacta Void is defeated, Galacta Knight switches back to his knight form and explodes. Kirby and his team then go back to Planet Popstar.

Magolor's Return to Dream Land[]

In Magolor's Return to Dream Land, Galacta Knight is the main antagonist.

Kirby: Fractured Friends[]

In Kirby: Fractured Friends, Galacta Knight was part of the Ancients, a union of heroes, mages, and inventors that contained the strongest powers in the universe to use as powerful relics, and tried to use them for the benefit of others, but after endless betrayal between the Ancients and mis-use of relics caused them to disband. The few that remain often hid themselves from the universe, knowing many power hungry forces are after the relics they have created and amassed.

While part of the Ancients, Galacta Knight was known as Aeon Hero and helped trap Void Termina in the Jamba Heart. After the Ancients disbanded and their members were on the run from relic hunters, Aeon Hero changed his identity to Galacta Knight. The former leader of the tech faction of the Ancients, Selabus agreed to hide him in the Time Space Continuum, in exchange he guards his technology.

Kirby and the Darkened Hero[]

While not outright named, Galacta Knight is stated to be the first person to achieve Super V. State, unlocking it during a battle with Nightmare. His battle hungry and blood thirsty personality was amplified by the state, and went on a rampage throughout the galaxy. Eventually, the Jambastions and Ancients sealed him away.

While Darkened Hero has been cancelled, Galacta Knight's status as the first to achieve Super V. State is still canon, and is explained in Kirby: Signature. However, Mechanical Madness would later retcon this, with his Light and Dark forms being the result of him channeling both light energy and darkness.

Kirby: Hero[]

That was quite a battle, young warrior. You’ve reminded me of something I need to do more of; improving myself.
Galacta Knight, Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy - Galacta Knight!


Galacta Knight is the titular main antagonist of the movie Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy - Galacta Knight!. He is an especially powerful Star Warrior who was too bloodthirsty in battle, resulting in him being sealed. However, he is not evil, and ultimately parts on good terms with Kirby after giving him a good fight. Galacta Knight is later mentioned in A Deluxe Dededetour.

Kirby: Mechanical Madness[]

The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy. While he is sometimes said to be the first to achieve the Super V. State, that's a lie; Galacta Knight's Light and Dark forms are the result of his ability to channel both sides without losing himself. The Aeon Hero challenges you, Elfilin/Kirby!

Kirby: Swordsman’s Fury[]

I may have been your foe, but… Thank you, Star Allies, for finally helping me slay that Temporal Tyrant.
Kirby: Swordsman’s Fury


Galacta Knight’s role in Swordsman’s Fury is identical to that of in Fall of Allies. Here, he saves Kirby and co., and reveals that Lacuna was the reason for Meta Knight’s sudden change of heart. There is also a Helper Galacta Knight mode, similar to that of the Helper Magolor mode in Kirby’s Return to Dreamland Deluxe. In this case, if Kirby happens to fall into a pit, Galacta Knight will swoop in and pull him upwards from the pit.

This additionally marks the point where Galacta Knight's redemption arc is completed, fully becoming an ally.

Kirby Fighters Clash 3[]

Knightmare of a Galactic Crisis[]

Galacta Knight is implied to have a history with Hiro, Gena, Meta Knight, and Whispy Woods, though what this history entails is as of yet unknown.

After winning the battle against Void Termina with the other three heroes of yore, Galacta retires to his quarters, taking off his armor. Shortly after, he was visited by Professor Maximilian Halikay, who congratulates him for helping defeat Void Termina. When asked about Hiro, who was presumably injured during the battle, Professor Halikay tells him that he’s still in the hospital, but that he’ll recover soon. He then tells him that he’s needed at Lab ReDiscovera, but when the two arrive, Halikay locks Galacta in a cell, restrained by chains held up by Magamapop. From there, he explains to Galacta that he is a Voidspawn with immense power, power that he does not know how to control, making him a danger to society. He also explains that the chains restraining Galacta are a test to see if he can control his power enough to break them. Galacta asks if he’ll kill him if he doesn’t, to which he responds he couldn’t if he wanted to. However, he could get someone to seal him away. Cue Hyness.

Galacta is first seen upon being summoned by Gena after she takes Hiro’s magic, knowing Galacta will kill her. He stabs her through the stomach, killing her and causing Hiro’s magic to flow back into him. Afterwards, he fights Kirby, who defeats him, slicing his mask in half and knocking it off. He then expresses sadness, as he knows he must soon either go back into the crystal or witness the end of the timeline. However, when the crystal does come to take him, Kirby embraces him to comfort him as the crystal seals them both. After Hiro wakes up, he summons Galacta Knight once again, granting both him and Kirby freedom. Galacta flies off with Kirby on his back.

Upon returning, Galacta is seen by Meta, who immediately flies towards him. The two have to stop suddenly to avoid colliding, causing Kirby to be thrown off Galacta’s back. Kirby begins hovering as the two knights greet each other, and after commenting that it would’ve sounded better if Meta had gone first, Meta questions how Galacta was alive, to which Galacta responds that what actually happened was darker than the “official story”, which was that he had died fighting Void Termina. However, Galacta quickly shakes off having to explain, stating that he wants to get back to civilization to see what happened to the world while he was gone.

20 minutes later, Galacta, Meta, and Kirby are all seen in Dream Land. As Galacta and Meta converse, Elfilin approaches Kirby, welcoming him back to Dream Land. Galacta recognizes Elfilin as ID-F87 and immediately attempts to stab him. Elfilin is quick enough to block Galacta’s blow with the spear he got from absorbing the soul of his other half, but Galacta’s momentum sends them both rocketing into a nearby forest, where Galacta pins Elfilin against a tree. Elfilin attempts to introduce himself to Galacta, but Galacta interrupts, stating that he already knows who he is, and what he’s capable of, referring to him as ID-F87. Elfilin recalls Galacta from his time as Fecto Elfilis, stating that he was one of the people who captured him and transported him to Lab Discovera. He quickly realizes that this means Galacta likely wants to kill him, so he teleports away, causing Galacta to stab the tree, which reveals itself as Whispy Woods (who Elfilin refers to as “Mr. Tree”). Galacta quickly apologizes, takes his lance out of Whispy, and tells him they’ll talk later after he kills Elfilin. He then flies up, and after a brief exchange about “Mr. Tree”, Galacta attempts to kill Elfilin once again. However, this attempt is stopped by Meta, who tells Galacta that Elfilin is not the same monster Elfilis once was. Galacta, sighing, tells them to explain what had happened between his sealing and that point.

The four of them are then seen in a forest, having spent the last four hours explaining things to Galacta. After spotting them, Magolor appears, interrupting with “HOLY SKIDOODLE! IS THAT GALACTA KNIGHT?!” Galacta is startled by this, and Kirby is visibly excited to see his friend. After Meta explains to Galacta who Magolor is, Galacta is reminded of Hiro, and surprised when Magolor knows who that is. When Elfilin remarks at the stupidity of the last name “Halikay”, Magolor explains that most people in the time of the Ancients have dumb last names. Magolor asks Galacta how he was alive, since the official story had been that Galacta had died fighting Void Termina. Galacta responds that it was a long story, prompting Marx to show up, saying that he loves stories. Upon noticing Galacta, Marx asks how he had survived, stating that he had seen many conspiracy theories on the subject. Magolor states that Marx has no understanding of personal boundaries, and would pester Galacta about it until he explained everything. Galacta then agrees to tell the story.

Kirby and the Train of the Stars[]

Galacta Knight, who is also known as the Aeon Hero or even the Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy, was summoned by the Ancients to fight Void Termina after it had attacked the worlds and nearly destroyed them. After he had defeated Void Termina, the ancients sealed him away for fear of his power.

In the anime, Kirby and the Train of the Stars, he appears every now and then in visions/memories that the train of the stars has. He also appears later in the series after Kirby defeats Dark Meta Knight in the dimensional mirror world. He attacks Kirby and knocks him back, Kirby and the train get into a fearsome fight with Galacta Knight. They succeed!

They ask how he escaped from his prison, without understanding he accidentally allows the train to read his mind, he was summoned after the great power they had used to enter the mirror world of another dimension. The train says this out loud and Galacta Knight flies away in retreat. Later on, Galacta Knight appears right before the entrance to the mysterious voids' home dimension. The train recognizes him, and Kirby and the train get ready for combat. Galacta Knight has more power than ever now, so it'll be a hard fight. Kirby and the train have a brutal battle with Galacta Knight, and they eventually succeed.

Kirby and the train need to rest up before they head on, but as for Galacta Knight, a crystal prison appears, Galacta Knight starts flying away from it but it's not enough. Galacta knight gets trapped in the crystal prison and gives a fearsome glare at Kirby and the train, and allows the train to read his thoughts, and he swears revenge someday. And then a dimensional rift opens up and takes the prison away.
