Nightmare Enterprises, commonly known as 'NME' (Holy Nightmare to 'HNM' in the Japanese dub), are the main antagonists of the anime series Kirby: Right Back at Ya!
Founded long prior to the events of the main story, it is a universally notorious organization for selling monsters known as Demon Beasts to unsavory buyers. Reflexive of how the business is conducted, such negative repute connects to it having long carried out conflict all across the universe.
Past/Origins[]
At some unknown time thousands of years prior to the story, Nightmare Enterprises was founded by the intergalactic warlord known as ENeMeE. Comprised of monsters created at the whim of the ruthless sorcerer, such had carried out mass destruction, leading to numerous casualties across the span of worlds. As revealed by Meta Knight, the ensuing war carried over to the Star Warrior brigade. Although they did fight valiantly, most of the noble fighters were also nevertheless decimated in the aftermath.[1]
History[]
Upon Kirby's introduction and formal meeting with Meta Knight and the others, Nightmare has of course long since expanded for his own business. As first revealed in "Kirby Comes to Cappy Town", the presence of Octacon was due to conspiracy from none other than King Dedede. Such collaboration was later even shed light by the king himself, as shown in his first interaction with the NME Salesman. Throughout the course of time, the presence of the organization itself would proceed to have even more negative impacts on the events of the series.
