There's also the fact that there are other potential incarnations of Kirby also wandering around the universe, except they're evil. Also they seem to be able to kill omnipotent gods somehow. And potentially create them too. I think there was also something about Nova or whatever his name was being made by the same species Kirby is?
Which, because they're all dead except Kirby and Metaknight implied that there's something capable of killing them, too, that we've never seen.

Also Kirby probably never killed 0. It would seem he can't die in fact. And he seems to be what happens when Kirby reincarnates as evil instead of good.
The final boss of Kirby Squeak Squad is implied to be an incarnation of 0. In Japan his name is even "Dark 0."

Kirby lore is basically "Lovecraft for Kids" if you ask me. Way simpler than traditional cosmic horror, but it has the same elements.

The latest villain in the series was unusually weird, IMO

::: spoiler especially with the whole lab experiment treatment and cartoon biological horror moments. Also the unknown fate of the people who used its power to depart for some dream dimension or whatever. :::
