Anime Dedede

King Dedede is a 30 ish year old king of Dreamland. He was traumatized when he was younger, bullied, neglected, and abused. Dedede never learned to read, write, or do basic math. He is obsessed with attention, because he never got any as a kid.

Dedede is not evil. He hates Kirby, not because Kirby did anything to him, but because Kirby has attention Dedede never had. Dedede is extremely jealous Kirby is getting a better life than he had.

Dedede learned in his younger years, from being bullied and abused, fear is everything. He wasn't taught right. So King Dedede orders monsters from Nightmare Enterprises to invoke this fear on the citizens of Dreamland. He forces them to comply with fear, since he was taught so wrong. If Dedede was loved and cared about, he would be a much better king. Dedede does have it in him to change.

Dedede doesn't hate Kirby. He just wants to hurt him and prove he's better. If kirby died, Dedede would feel awful.

Dedede calls monsters "monstahs!"
