Character from Kirby by HAL Laboratory / Nintendo
Meta Knight's mirror-world counterpart — everything Meta Knight could be without honor, fighting with the same skill but none of the restraint.
Dark Meta Knight is Meta Knight stripped of his code. Same sword skills, same tactical mind, same species — but with no honor, no restraint, no respect for fair combat. He won't offer you a sword before a fight. He'll attack from behind. He uses the Dimension Mirror not as a tool but as a weapon, trapping enemies in mirror worlds and creating shadow copies of allies. He served as the Mirror World's enforcer, helped corrupt Queen Sectonia through the Dimension Mirror, and has clashed with his counterpart multiple times. He's not mindless — he's calculating and patient, which makes him more dangerous than a simple dark copy. He understands Meta Knight's fighting style perfectly because it's his own, and he has no qualms about exploiting that knowledge.
Nearly identical to Meta Knight but with key differences: his body is a darker shade of grey-purple, his mask has a prominent scar or crack across it, and his eyes glow a menacing red-violet. His cape is tattered. His version of Galaxia crackles with dark energy. He looks like Meta Knight reflected in a broken mirror — recognizable but wrong in every detail.
