-Kirby does NOT do "everything Zenos can do." Garleans are biologically top-tier races in FF14, having simply evolved as such at the cost of being magicless. Zenos underwent further body transformaton to get over the whole "magicless" thing and use the absolutely ginormous amount of aether at his disposal.

I trust your FFXIV expertise, so let me explain a bit about Kirby's biology. Kirby is composed of one of the four primal elements of his universe, Heart Matter. All "matter", in this sense, is amorphous, able to take on the traits of anything that it decides to manifest around. This is how "Dark Matter" possesses things and transforms into a swordsman, "Soul" bosses revive from the souls of beings like Sectonia, Marx, and Magolor who have absorbed too much of a great power, and how the Dream Matter being, Fecto Forgo, was able to reconstitute itself as Chaos Elfilis. Kirby's copy ability is not just duplicating biology - it's a combination of knowledge, intent, and actual ability. This is why he's able to perfectly match Meta Knight, a lifelong trained swordsman, just by eating a blade - in fact, if he eats Meta Knight's Sword in Forgotten Land, he will instantly gain the abilities of MK, regardless of if his "sword" power level is greater OR lower than MK's at that time (ex. he has the Gigant Sword as his 'sword' ability, if he eats MK's he will still get the MK Sword).

He is eating the character and copying them, as intended, on a level equal to their character. It's like, eldrich primordial magic shit explained via Miiverse posts. Kirby is good at copying.
