Who else could have survived World of Light?
As the world was left devastated after the battle against Galeem, fans were left wondering who else could have possibly survived the catastrophic event. While we know Kirby made it out alive, many other fighters were unfortunately captured and transformed into Echoes. However, through analyzing the situations and characters’ abilities, we can attempt to speculate who else could have possibly survived. Here are a few suspects who might have made the cut.
Bayonetta and Palutena: The Candidates
Bayonetta, the renowned Witch of Ruthless Punishment, and Palutena, the Goddess of the Sky World, have two attributes that suggest they might have survived: their remarkable strength and versatility. According to Sakurai, the only two characters who could have possibly escaped Galeem were Bayonetta and Palutena. These fighters possess powers that go beyond the limitations of humans and could potentially have escaped Galeem’s grasp. Their abilities and skills can aid their survival.
Holland: The Unaccounted Entity
While not part of the initial roster of Echoes, Holland was eventually revealed as a surviving member of Galeem’s realm. Holland’s skills in combat, as shown in his introductory trailer, display a certain level of tenacity. His capabilities suggest that he could potentially outmaneuver his Echo counterparts. It would be reasonable to assume that his survival rate is increased compared to other captured fighters, thanks to his adaptability.
Who else survived World of Light? – Other Possibilities
As hinted, Holland seems a strong contender for having survived. A few more contenders can be considered.
- Link: Though caught in the vortex created by Galeem, the protagonist of Hyrule managed to hold off the celestial entities. It’s worth questioning whether he could maintain enough strength to escape World of Light, given his battle-hardened skills. ( More on the capabilities of the Hero’s )
- Kasumi: As revealed, Kasumi’s quick movements and swift combat can, in theory, surpass even Galeem’s limits. If he managed to land a solid hit before his capture, it would’ve been plausible for Kasumi to emerge victorious against Echoes, potentially outspeeding and outsmarting them.
Scoring the Candidates
By categorizing and evaluating our suspect pool based on survival statistics, skills, strength, and speed, the order of survivability seems like this:
- Bayonetta and Palutena: Boast incredible power and endurance
- Link: Proved resilient with skills honed from centuries
- Holland: Capable with advanced combat moves
- Kasumi: Swift combat and incredible evasive movements
Based on this hypothetical analysis, only a handful of individuals demonstrate the likelihood of escape.
Final Thoughts –
Given the numerous assumptions and limitations, understanding World of Light’s physics has become essential. One undeniable fact: the events at World of Light occurred rapidly, indicating that escape strategies were based on fractions of seconds and milliseconds of processing time.
In such instances, quick reflexes and cunning skills become indispensable to survival. Given Galeem’s incredible force, one must remember the extraordinary speed and ferocity displayed by the aforementioned champions. A combination of unmatchable battle-stance experience, skill, power, and mental agility becomes imperative when tackling world-rampant forces.
