The main antagonist in Klonoa 2: Lunatea's Veil is the King of Sorrow.
The True Adversary of Klonoa 2
While other characters might appear to be antagonists throughout the journey, the King of Sorrow (Kanashimi no ō in Japanese, meaning "King of Sadness") is revealed to be the true and hidden main antagonist of Klonoa's adventure in Lunatea. His presence and motivations drive the overarching conflict of the game, ultimately leading to a climactic confrontation.
The Kingdom of Sorrow and Its Ruler
The King of Sorrow is, as his name suggests, the sovereign ruler of the Kingdom of Sorrow. This domain is not just a geographical location but represents a core thematic element in Klonoa 2. It is described as the fifth kingdom of Lunatea, a land that was deliberately hidden away from the rest of the world because it staunchly refused to acknowledge or accept sorrow as a natural part of existence.
His role as the hidden antagonist is crucial to the game's narrative, tying into the themes of emotions, acceptance, and the balance of the world. Klonoa's journey involves understanding and confronting the very essence of the sorrow that the King embodies and seeks to unleash.
