Kirbytober Day 31: Final Boss
Soul of Sectonia
As the sun rises, you shall fall
Rest my Queen... rest well.
Let your burdens fly away
Like Petals in the wind... 🌺
I REALLY wanted to end off the whole thing with Soul of Sectonia, I had it planned from the start. Did two alts as you can see- with the extra copies trailing behind, and then one without to really soak up the scene.
This was great fun! 🙏 Big shout out to @paintpanic for making the prompt list!

The Seven Sins in Kirby
Hey hey hey, guess what! Thanks to Forgotten Land, we now have seven (!!) Soul bosses! (1) And you know what that means...
We can assign them to the Seven Sins!
Yeah! Wooo! Let's goooooo!
Lust - Soul of Sectonia
Sectonia (after encountering the mirror) began to crave peak physical beauty. Also, flowers have a longstanding association with not just romance, but reproduction. Everything from how poets have interpreted them (often strangely) as resembling human sexual organs to them mimicking certain insects for the sake of attracting a pollinator. Speaking of poetry, there's also the "lust for life" angle, and you can't deny that Sectonia is one of Kirby's most tenacious foes.
Gluttony - Marx Soul
One can't help but notice Marx's larger mouth and long hanging tongue, after his transformation. In addition, his black hole attack, which in his Star Allies demo was used to suck up a huge chunk of Whispy Woods apples, has a very strong association with "devouring." (Could also be implied with his "absorbing" Nova's parts.) And as Marx Soul, he always opens with that attack. Speaking of Star Allies, both his JP and EN screens make sure to mention meals and eating.
Greed - Star Dream Soul OS
Star Dream may not have had a personality until it absorbed President Haltmann's mind and body, but it’s still true that Star Dream and Max "Crazy Rolling in Money" Haltmann had pernicious effects on each other. Max becoming obsessed with money and acquisition, and Star Dream becoming so devoted to the HWC's goal of "prosperity," it was willing to eradicate all life to achieve that. In Soul form, Star Dream also takes on more gold in its color scheme.
Sloth - Forgo Soul
The alien invader who has been in stasis in the Eternal Capsule for so long that it has started to fall apart and can't maintain itself outside its "sleeping chamber." How much raw power Elfilis commands when awake, we don’t know, but they are undeniably powerful when in a state of sleep, and appear to have not just dream-like power, but power over dreams themselves. And there’s the Eternal Echo of the Thrilling Tour-our-our, which reflects Elfilis’s own dreams.
Wrath - Magolor Soul
Something tragically left out of Magolor Soul's English pause screen description is the mention that Magolor is "...trapped by anger." We don't know what about, but you can still see an undercurrent of irritation and a barely concealed short-temper in him, as he is one of the only characters to ALL CAPS SHOUT at Kirby in anger with a bit of prodding. Pre-transformation, even his eyes change to more wrathful ones once his health is taken down far enough.
Envy - Void Soul
Void has the potential to become anything, but in its current state, seems unable to stay as any one thing, switching from Hyness's desired God of Destruction, to a Dark Matter-alike, to attempting to mimic Kirby themselves. Any sense of personality or concrete existence is but a distant memory for Void. But it does seem to know that whatever that was, whatever it might have been, it misses it and feels a strong desire to be that again. "Friends reunited."
Pride - Drawcia Soul
Drawcia comes out of nowhere to decide she’ll repaint the entirety of Popstar (and Kirby) to her liking, making it an extension of her world. Also, she has her own world. As an (implied) former masterpiece (forgotten now) it's not hard to imagine she's got some lingering pride about that. She is also the first "Soul" boss, and thus, the originator of the concept of the Soul boss, up to and including their attacks, making her a fine fit for the role of "original sin."
-
(1) Yes, yes, not all of them are fightable. At least, not by that name. But Chaos Elfilis is just Soul Forgo fused with Morpho Knight. It's still a Soul fight. The second phase especially.

The Soul of vigor. Once dreamt of lust. Looking for the feeling that touched her deeply so long ago, she moves with the moon alone. Her fortune only turns under the weight of bittersweet memories, and no longer moves toward the future. Nothing will reach her anymore. She will come to know nothing more. She simply allows no one to disturb her "ascension" to godhood.
The Soul of vigor. Once dreamt of lust. The Soul continues to dream of an offering resounding in the middle of the castle halls, a deeply moving impression of past days. Continuing within that time with little but sure differences, her wheels of fortune move around calmly.
