Not really. Kirny can crack planets in half. Buu never did that. And what unfounded assumptions are you saying and what shouldn't he have been able to do? Besides, the animation doesn't actually affect the outcome. |
Buu destroys planets pretty regularly. Kirby cracks a planet in one particular minigame. Interestingly enough, Waddle Dee and Knuckle Joe can do the same thing in that game. So, either we assume there are tons of people walking around popstar with the power to shatter the planet on a whim. Or, more logically, we can conclude that this was a bit of visual flair for the mini game and was not meant to be taken seriously.
As for flaws in the video...
1. Shiver star is never stated to be a post apocolyptic earth. It's a fan theory, but the evidence for that is limited. So we don't know if Kirby can survive a blast that can destroy an Earth sized planet. Everything in Kirby's world seems scaled to his 8 inch height, so it's likely that his world is similarly scaled to about 1/8 Earth sized.
2. Their conclusion that Kirby's warp star travels faster than light is based on some pretty wonky assumptions. Moreover, Kirby has never shown the ability in the games to fight on a warpstar except a bit in air ride.
Now, IF we want to take one random mini-game from Superstar seriously, then we have to take any random thing from any game just as seriously. In Kirby Air Ride, the Warp Star is clocked at a leisurely 30 MPH. This means that Kirby's basic speed has to be less than that.
3. Eating a warp star doesn't give you Star Rod ability. That was in the anime, but the games should take precedence when there is any conflict. The Star Rod is a pretty important thing (giving dreams to the people of Pop Star) and it's not something Kirby could just take with him.
4. The mechanics of Kirby's stomach are never explained in any canonical media. He can only recall powers in Squeak Squad. This was a gameplay mechanic, just like his pokey walking speed, so if we want to take one thing seriously, we have to do both.
5. Kirby is shown to be damaged by attacks that can't destroy planets pretty regularly in cutscenes and gameplay.
Also, Kirby has never shown any sort of resistance to being transformed. His enemies were able to transform him into Yarn, balls, split him in 4, or split him in 10 with no problem. So, there is no reason to think he would be able to resist being turned to chocolate. There's also no indication he's fast enough to dodge Buu's attacks, or durable enough to survive Buus hits for long. The only method Kirby would have of hurting Buu would be using the Hypernova to reflect one of Buu's attacks, but Kirby can't just store Hypernova, so he'd have to be pretty lucky for them to be battling right by one. Aside from that, he doesn't have the power to kill Buu. Most likely, this battle ends with a candy coated Kirby.
