Rekketsu is a samurai monster teacher that appears in episode 83 of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, Teacher's Threat.
Physical Appearance[]
Rekketsu is a very humanoid-looking creature. He has gray hair and gray eyebrows, and he has sunken-in yellow eyes. His gray hair is held back by a bandana with red, black, and white coloring that run along it in a zigzag pattern. He wears an evil grin on his face, and his mouth is large and full of pearly white teeth. He wears blue shoes and is very well-dressed, wearing a pink shirt with a green necktie and a purple tuxedo over his pink shirt, and he wears white gloves. A red-and-white sun-shaped yin-yang is painted on the back of his tuxedo. Rekketsu comes complete with a bokken that he can whack anything and anyone with, as well as a blue energy sword with a golden handle.
History[]
Rekketsu is sent by Nightmare Enterprises to deal with Kirby since Mr. Chip isn't up to doing anything to harm his students. After appearing from within a smoke bomb that King Dedede had carried back to the Dedede Academy school with him and then whacking Kirby around a bit with his bokken, Kirby sucked up Rekketsu's bokken and became Sword Kirby. Rekketsu then brings out a laser-like sword and the two engage in a sword duel. Kirby eventually ended the duel with two Sword Beams - the first time he used a Sword Beam, Rekketsu was able to block it, but the second time, the evil substitute teacher's attempt was futile. He was effortlessly sliced in half and destroyed, with the entire Dedede Academy school crumbling with him.
Powers and Abilities[]
Rekketsu's abilities involves being able to leap at incredible heights and can stretch his arms to attack his enemies from a far. His first weapon is a wooden sword for combat, and later on he draws a beam sword, which is shown powerful enough to block Sword Kirby's Sword Beam for the first time. Fittingly, being a samurai monster, Rekketsu is a skilled swordsman, being able to battle Sword Kirby with ease.
Trivia[]
