Somehow in my first playthrough, I used drives ALL the time, loved em, and yet I never encountered anti form until the boss fight with Xigbar and I was totally surprised.

I don't think anti and rage are canon. I know Nomura is not a good writer, but making these forms canon would be pretty dumb. It's a world where you must avoid darkness if you don't want to be possessed, go out of control or go corrupted and insane; and Sora embrace the darkness like is nothing? It would make Riku's story completely pointless. Still, from a gameplay perspective, anti and rage are absolutely cool, and i hope in a similar form in KH4

Actually, nomura answered the difference between anti and rage Rage for is less "Dark" compared to anti form. While the former represents Sora's darkness, Rage Form is solely his anger. So sora darkness react to his Rage, it doesn't control him compared to anti, he just so angry that the darkness come out to say hello

One problem with kingdom hearts is that there are so many unanswered questions sometimes things in it dont make any sense

Sora's theme through the Kingdom Hearts series so far was him slowly getting pulled under by the darkness surrounding his heart. Each bad thing that happens to him or his friends is slowly drowning him in hate, anger, and sorrow. If things keep going, he will likely be pulled under entirely, unable to come back. In all likelihood, KH4 or the new arc as a whole is going to be the conclusion to that very plot point.

Its called puberty. Lol

in my kh2 play in halloween town and in the past of mikey (black n white) i could only use anti form and i loved it

So I have some extra lore stuf... and a hot take. For the lore, remember that the Heartless move by instinct. They chase after hearts mindlessly. They're kinda like zombies in that regard. So it makes sense why Anti Form is so feral. The darkness from that transformation in KH1 is seeping up and clouding his judgment. As for Rage Form, there was an interview with Numora a while back where he did say that Rage Form is what happens when Sora gets extremely angry. So it makes sense that Rage Form can be activated manually, as Sora is choosing to give into his hate instead of keeping his composure. As for the hot take: I don't like how Anti Form is handled. I think it's an unnecessary punishment. Drive Forms are already tied to a resource, AND half the fights don't let you use most of them because you need your party members. It's extremely frustrating going into a boss, having it fail, then having to die so you can go back and purposely waste your Drive JUST so you can use the game's main fucking mechanic. It would have been a lot better if Anti was instead a punishment for using multiple Drives in a single fight (and having the counter reset when you exit a fight), rather than it being just in general.

I think rage form is more of a “last ditch” mechanic. So it’s not treated as a punishment. Lore wise it isn’t him falling AS far

This may have been foreshadowed all the way back in... I think KH1. (Paraphrase) But be careful, the closer you get to the light... the deeper the darkness *cue Darkside* Sora has an overpowered dark side (literally, we have the classic anime protagonist stages, berserker in anti-form and more in control berserker in rage form) and it may be a central conflict of kh4, Sora coming to terms with it and embracing the power to wield light and dark perfectly together. To bring balance to the for-, I mean, world

I do suspect that he has the keyblade in Rage Form because he's gaining more control over his power and himself. He doesn't get so lost like in anti-form.

This is my favorite trio. I don't understand why people hate on these three so much they're honestly a lot more interesting than some of the other characters. Also it shows us something we don't get to see in the other trios which is the bonding of new friendships that end up being incredible and it also shows Terra struggle with darkness and being manipulated. I love the way they reunite (I honestly like it better than the sea salt trio's reunite in KH3). I love all three of them and they're the most imperfect of the three trios and that's what makes me like them so much.

Easily the best trio (I call them the PTSD trio) I really hope KH4 doesn't completely sideline them and the sea salt trio (aka the Cult-Bonding Trio)

Think you captured each opening perfectly! 3 is definitely an underrated OP but my fav has always been Sanctuary. It’s just so damn beautiful and good❤️ this popped up on my TL and I realized I had 3 different videos of yours in my watch later 😂😂 gotta get to binging! I’ve done a few KH vids on my channel as well so best of luck mate!

I instantly was recognized twister at the beginning of

I recently started playing KH2:FM in Critical mode, and god DAMN is it hard lol

Limit form and element form.

About the purple light. This might seem weird but what if the purple light is supposed to represent Darkness. Like for example we know Xehanort walked a dark road and reflecting on rechain of memories. Riku does say if he loses to answer then darkness will show him the way. What if the purple light is supposed to represent darkness showing xehanort the way

THIS IS 2 HOURS LATE IM SORRY!! But it's done! I hope you guys see what I do within the intros of Kingdom Hearts 2 and Three! Be sure to check out the first video if you haven't and subscribe ! Stay strong everyone!

Interesting, I thought the forms in KH2 where just the power of the fairies. The anti form was the dark magic that accumulated in his clothes.

1 sub = 1 food for Family. 😥

I got a theory that by ReMind Sora can now use the Darkness more efficiently in the form of Dark Form, with Rage Form basically being the risker, stronger upgraded version of that form

3:14 what death sound is that game from!!!???😂😂😂 sounds traumatic and familiar. Whatever game it’s from it’s one I got my ass kicked in A LOT

15 videos and almost 1000 subs, what are you complaining about?

I think you should read "KH: Sea-Change of Fate", in case you're unsatisfied with some things in canon. In it, Kairi breaks from her script at the end of "KH 1", joining Sora, Donald and Goofy in their adventures. BTW, "Breaking the script" isn't an exaggeration. The Fates, from "Hercules", comment on how she broke multiple prophecies when she decided not to stay at Traverse Town, gaining her Keyblade (Naminé gains one too, btw). Oh ! And the Disney characters FINALLY become useful and actually likable. Now, a few warnings: -The author uses some elements from the manga, so don't be surprised at some heavier takes on the story; -Marluxia is a pedophile; -There's some polygamy (and the author is open to multiple forms of sexuality), but it actually contributes for multiple characters' development; -Axel and Xion are officially recognized as trans in the series (on a personal note, I could actually see that as canon, kinda wished it was, I may ask the author if I could use the trans perspective); -You'll find Aqua's ship in this fic to be...unique. But personally, I could see it too. I ship Cortana and MasterChief. Can't really judge after that; -Not sure if there's something else I should tell you, because I can only think of good things, and those are a surprise I want you to find and experience for yourself.

Thats crazy 🤣

W channel w vdi

I'm all for a story for sora's dark forms or if there's a connection between anti and rage, like rage is anti's evolution form or something.... but, I doubt there's gonna be something like that in Kingdom Hearts 4..

Loved the analysis of Sora. Good stuff. ^ ^

Sora is the perfect way to end off the Smash series! You can't change my mind. Although if you had a choice instead of Sora who would you have picked? Is there anyone better in your opinion? For me I would keep Sora but add a few others in like Rayman, Crash, Spyro, Phoenix Wright plus some others. If we ever get another update to the series here's hoping we get more fighters!

I can hardly wait... after all these ages, it's FINALLY going to be properly PORTABLE! LONGTIME KH FANS, LET THE DUSTING OFF AND RESURRECTING OF THE "MANSEX" JOKES BEGIN! 😂 (For the newbies out there, be sure to look that up. 😂)

2025 come soon ps5 sora world 11 game september 30th ro december 27th

Surprise! Didn't think I would get another video out so soon did ya? Neither did I. Besides this isn't exactly what I wanted to get out for a quick thank you, and I know everyone else got to this but I figured I'd post this anyway since this is important news from around! Also if anyone knows a better, cleaner version of the KH 4 Logo please let me know, I couldn't find a good one.

Okay, it's nice to see _someone_ finally cover anti form and rage form, because I've been asking in comments for years on several channels for that. That interviewer asked the _wrong_ question. Yeah, antiform is a leftover of Sora being a heartless in KH1, but it's so much _more._ If you want to make a proper video on the matter, have I got a yarn to spin for you. So, first off, lets discuss Shora. Can we discuss Shora, cause I been dying to talk about him. Roxas is Sora's _empty body,_ and Roxas is born after Sora turns himself into a heartless, in the sort of innocent, love filled way that only a child can sacrifice themselves for someone else. Sora, at this point in the story, is practically an innocent. The darkness in his heart is the immature fear and sadness of a child who has suffered a tragedy, but sees a solution and persues it doggedly. He _can_ bring back the Islands, he _must_ save Kairi, he _will_ beat some plain sense into Riku, with a clue by four if he must. So his darkness is _weak._ It's a little tiny Shadow whose instinct to consume is completely overwhelmed by Sora's intense desire to see his friends and Kairi to safety. And then Kairi does something, something I think none of the great thinkers of KH ever go back and deeply consider. She brings him back. She doesn't make him human, but she drowns that little darkness in her own protectiveness, and the innocent light of a child Princess of Heart transforms Sora's heartless into a being in the same category as Ansem the Seeker. A fully realized, fully intelligent being, shaped like how it once was in life. A human heartless. And this is the birth of _Shora,_ the other half of Roxas. I call him Shora because he is _H_ eartless Sora, Sora's Heartless, SHora. If Xemnas can mix in Xs, I can do it too. Shora saves the worlds, and in the deepest depths of the light realm's darkness, on the very border line between Light and Dark, Shora comprehends Kingdom Hearts instintively. Ansem has long overcome his instincts, rationalized away his obsession with Kingdom Hearts, is self assured in his proclamation that Kingdom Hearts is the primordial darkness. But Shora, newborn heartless who hasn't drowned those instincts in intellect and arrogance, _knows_ that Kingdom Hearts is Light, the Light Born from Dark, the great Light that all Heartless seek to consume. We all know that story, so let's move on to the part where Marluxia's plot to break Sora nearly succeeds. Remember, Sora was a Heartless for THE ENTIRETY of CoM. A being composed of heart (emotion) and darkness, wrapped in the protective loving light of a Princess of Heart. And Castle Oblivion was _torment._ Soulless emotionless demons with human faces physically and mentally and emotionally abuse, gaslight, torture poor Shora. His personality is broken piece by piece until nearly all that remains of Sora is protectiveness and loyalty. Sora's innocence is stripped by the events of Castle Oblivion, bit by torturous bit. And then? That chain of memories is broken. It has to be, in order to restore Sora's true memories and bonds. His true memories which are off galivanting around in a puppet named Xion, bonding with his body, Roxas. Eventually two become one, and Roxas gains a second keyblade. Eventually, Roxas is defeated and forcibly reintegrated with Shora. The need for Kairi's body shell fades. But the problem is that so much artificial mess has been made of Sora's being that he can't be reconstituted in the normal way. You can't simple defeat Roxas and Shora in combat, and remake Sora. So Sora spends the entirety of KH2 unknowingly puppeting Roxas, and only becomes whole near the end after he confronts himself. But he never confronts Shora. That being of darkness that Sora spent a year as, still.lives inside him, and the darkness from that shattered chain of memories persists. As Namine said, the memories don't vanish, they still exist, they just can't be remembered. So Sora's inner darkness has gone from a little baby shadow to something... Much worse. It's impossible to tell if anyone knows besides the Xehanort Band, what lurks inside Sora. Drive form consumes Donald and Goofy, and Sora isn't all there. But it's possible for other combat partners to witness the transformation. Hercules, and the FF characters could see it happen. The bosses might see it. Now, Sora's keyblade is a bit fickle. After leaving him for Riku, then returning, it left him again as pure darkness, and only returned when Sora was given the blessing of a princess of light. Here, Shora has no such blessing. Shora has no more shell of light between him and the outside world. Here, Shora gets to play _his_ way. And his way is bestial, flinging razor sharp claws and fast kicks and moving so fast he might as well be teleporting and firing off blasts of darkness. But Shora is different from wild Heartless in one key detail. He remembers the embrace of light and fights on the side of light. Now here is where things get nuts. Ansem, Xemnas, and Xehanort _notice_ how powerful Sora's darkness is. They corner him in the dreaming worlds, send him off course, and eventually he nearly gets Norted, lost to the light forever. And again, Sora is tormented in a side game and his darkness grows, but from being nearly norted, Shora picks up two tricks. Firstly, he learns how to properly share his power with Sora. Secondly, and more importantly, Shora learns from the Master Keyblader of Darkness _how dark beings weild a keyblade._ Which leads to Shora getting a massive upgrade in KH3, to Rage Form. And this is Shora at his most powerful yet, and his first canonical cutscene appearance. Xehanort makes the _grave mistake_ of forcing Shora to the surface and learns first hand what "the brighter the light, the darker the shadow cast" means, because Shora _spanks_ him and recovers Sora's light. Neither one of them is tolerating that "bad guy stealing portions of them" schtick anymore. In conclusion, Shora is Sora's improperly reintegrated heartless. In every side game staring Sora, he is relentlessly abused by the baddies and the darkness in his heart grows. You can see the progression of that darkness in the power level progression from little shadow to antiform and then rage form, when the darkness answers his call for strength. Shora isn't _just_ Sora, he's a partial being made of a piece of Sora like Roxas, and Sora will eventually have to confront and properly embrace Shora as part of himself.
