>Kirby Copy Ability: Jack Frost
Kirby appears to be wearing a Jack Frost hat, the iconic mascot of Atlus and MegaTen as a whole. He casts the bufu line of skills directly instead of summoning someone to do it.
The reason for this is that it reduces the workload required so 8 different Kirby copy appearances don't have to be made for 8 of the different alternate costumes.
(It's also way cuter.)
