Knuckle Joe (Star Warrior of Dream Land)

Here's the design of Knuckle Joe in Kirby Star Warrior of Dream Land.

He has the same role as in the first episode as the vengeful son who wants to defeat Kirby, whom Joe first thought it was Kirby who destroyed his father, Jecra.

But then, since he learned the truth about his father's assassination; Jecra sacrifice his own life after he pierces his chest with his sword to get rid of the shadow monster, Dark Shadow.

Thus, the Dark Shadow possesses Knuckle Joe and turned him into a monster.

But Fighter Kirby uses his Smash Punch, Shockwave Style to let his real body out of the monster, and turned to be his real Knuckle Joe.

And so after Kirby and Knuckle Joe defeated the dark counterpart - Dark Knuckle Joe, he apologizes to Kirby and the villagers for his rampaging action and decided to stay in Dream Land to stop King Kroco and defeated the monsters.

In this series, Knuckle Joe is a powerful Dream Friend and the Star Warrior, and also the strongest partner in Kirby's side.

I combined design from Kirby Star Allies and Kirby Right Back at Ya, while his color palette from Kirby Super Star Ultra artwork.

I hope you like it.
