"He's back... with a vengeance. The darkest shadow of the strongest warrior."

The Devil within represents your darker, negative side, and with all of the shadow selves in the series, I think it's pretty apparent that Meta Knight's is the most problematic. While he literally just is Dark Meta Knight, perhaps he is also a reflection of a possible outcome Meta Knight could face, should he ever find himself straying down the path of a villain again. As glory-driven as he is, it's important to recognize a bad habit before it gets worse. (Though I'm probably just reading too deeply into these characters again)

I was on vacation when I thought of the idea for this picture, so I'm honestly surprised I was able to hold onto it for over a week before being able to get it onscreen.
