King Dedede is different in the anime compared to how [[King Dedede|he]] acts in the games. King Dedede is more of a tyrant in ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', and his goal is to get rid of [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]]. This transforms King Dedede into a more antagonistic character. To fulfill his goal, King Dedede often orders [[monster]]s from [[NightMare Enterprises]]. However, these monsters often fail in their mission, though a rare few succeed. King Dedede is even seen rejoicing in [[Abusement Park]] when Kirby [[Mike|sings]] on top of the [[NightMare Enterprises Teleporter]] and is teleported to the [[NightMare Enterprises]] in the middle of his performance. ("I've gotten rid of Kirby at last!") However, King Dedede DOES have some care for Kirby, as seen in [[D'Preciation Day]] where he believes he killed Kirby.

==Physical Appearance==
==Physical Appearance==
King Dedede appears mainly the same as he does in the games, with a blue body, yellow feet, defined arms, and a beak, with a red robe, hat topped with a puffball, and sash across his waist. He does not wear the yellow kimono that King Dedede from the game series wears in later installments. King Dedede is also not typically seen with his hammer, though he can pull it out whenever he gets sufficiently angry. As expected in a cartoon series, King Dedede is quite expressive, though this usually manifests in outrage or in gloating.

*"I've gotten rid of [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] at last!" - when he and [[Escargoon]] teleport [[Mike]] [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] to [[NightMare Enterprises]] in [[Abusement Park]]
Due to King Dedede's nature, basically none of the characters he interacts with like him, though due to his status as king, they must respect him as such to some degree. Despite this animosity, King Dedede is sometimes able to have genuine moments of growth with other members of the cast.
*"It's ear-shattering!" ([[Escargoon]]: This is Karaoke Hell!") - when he and Escargoon listen to a version of [[Kihon wa Maru]] that [[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] is (suboptimally) singing on his [[Mike|Microphone]].

*[[Kirby (anime)|Kirby]] - Kirby is the primary target of King Dedede's ire throughout the series, as the king constantly tries to dispatch monsters from N.M.E. to get rid of him. It becomes clear throughout the series that the main reason for this is because King Dedede is intensely jealous of Kirby's power and relationships, and sometimes, even he is moved by Kirby's carefree child-like nature. Kirby in return does not mind King Dedede much, despite being attacked by him constantly.

*[[Meta Knight (anime)|Meta Knight]] - King Dedede views Meta Knight as an incompetent soldier due to his perceived inability to deal with Kirby, and as such, often disregards him. Meta Knight in return has no respect for the king, but enjoys his ability to operate under the king's radar.

King Dedede is even seen rejoicing in Abusement Park when Kirby sings on top of the NightMare Enterprises Teleporter and is teleported to the NightMare Enterprises in the middle of his performance.
