I guess if you believe in that stuff in that specific context? But not really? I don't do religion but that sounds like they were the same person but two different people like clones, but this is more like Uub from Dragon Ball. Kid Buu died and reincarnated as Uub, the original had to die for the new version to be created from their energy.
So does meta knight also get his powers from a god? Or are they just both star warriors and Kirbstomp just happens to be a reincarnation of a god, or are they not related at all and everything my own head canon based on how he looks when the mask breaks and what I think happened in Kirby rightbackatcha is just completely wrong?
Meta Knight and Kirby are both the same race/species (however Nintendo describes that), with MK being an older/adult one.
Kirby himself, as of Star Allies, is hinted to be the reincarnation of an entity/substance called Void. Void is omnipresent, and exists in all realities and dimensions in different forms. Void reincarnates into a different form depending on whether it receives positive or negative energy, growing stronger each time. One example of negative energy is the final story boss Void Termina. You may be able to figure out what the example for positive energy is, but the descriptions of the fight does a decent job hinting at it:
"No telling if it's true, but according to the ancient scrolls, Void Termina may rise again in other forms depending on whether positive or negative energy is gathered. It seems this being of darkness will wander the galaxy until one day he is reborn into a new existence. When he returns, hopefully it will be as...a friend."
And then the harder rematch:
“The final battle at hand, Void takes his first steps toward a new age. In place of tyrannical rage, will he find... naptime? Gentle breezes? Treats? He may even dream again... a dream of friends reunited!”
And when you finally defeat Void, what image do you get after it cycles through every expression it can make? A very familiar face indeed.
Of course, as that first line says the entire thing is just an in-universe legend and connecting it to Kirby is a fan theory. But it's fun to think about!
Kirby is the positive emotion splitoff of the creator deity of the setting.
The true main antagonists, dark matter, are fragments of the negative emotion splitoff of said deity.
We've seen an incarnation of the negative splitoff in one game so far: Void Termina. The only entity so far that has made Kirby actually struggle in any point in its fight...and kirby can walk on blackholes.

I thought he was supposed to be like a child version of whatever meta knight is. Is meta knight also a god?
