Still salty over Oblivion being one of the coolest looking Keyblades and then having doodoo stats compared to Divine Rose, which you can get right after
Lionheart is a great sleek design, real "less is more" (especially in comparison to later keyblades that go way overboard on the amount of junk thrown on them)
I actually did go with a magic build in an action RPG and it was really fun. By the time I got to fairy harp, I had goofy with MP haste and MP gift which basically made it impossible for me to run out unless I was alone. I could spam Arc Arcanum as much as I wanted, and with spellbinder I had like 9 MP bars.
Well, they have good magic, but they are not that powerful. I use Divine Rose. If I remember right, this is second powerful keyblade after Ultima Weapon
I honestly had to backtrack almost at the end for ladyluck. I thought wonderland didn’t have a keyblade at first and only found out when I saw a picture of it and realised I’d missed something
I think later variants of oathkeeper look better but it is my favorite. Not even for the ship. It has a nice color palette, looks sleek but not to sterilized. Got the heart and damn the spiked edge looks amazing. Also the charms cool, would look even better if it had the bbs charm designs.
@Noob7Zilla You sure because, they are some slight little changes between versions. Mainly at the helm with a slight color change. Kh1 is more grey winged. While later versions add a bit more turquoise.
A story of my KH experience: I was at the near end of the first game, when I got to the cutscene where sora gets the Gummi piece to access the final world and Kairi wishes you luck and gives you her lucky charm and after the cutscene ends you get the oathkeeper and then it hit me, I should have the oathkeeper equipped for the rest of the game not just for its stats but also because of what it represents, the oathkeepers Keychain is in the shape of the same charm Kairi gave to sora before he left to stop anseme, I wanted to beat the game with the oathkeeper because I thought of it as a blessing from Kairi and I even think the Keychain as a sweetheart grip
Me when Oathkeeper caption comes up: Yes but also it is seriously the best-looking keychain, (because that's technically what they are) not named ultima weapon 😎
I do prefer Oathkeeper, but not for the shipping reasons, but because I liked the design at stat boosts. Also, Magic is OP in KH and anybody who says otherwise hasn't actually tried to make a magic build.
Except in 1 where your equipment has to accommodate your lack of defense and you learn a lot of the best moves at the end of the game. But otherwise yess Magic Builds. Source: played some of the games out of order and am currently getting my backside handed to me in the colosseum in 1. But the Divine Rose is my saving grace.
Magnega into Thundaga clears pretty much any non boss screen. In KHII. It's pretty much salvation lite. I wasn't a huge fan of magic in KH1 just because most have a relatively small area of effect and I tended to equip accessories to boost AP or Attack over MP and I think, IIRC, magic power is scaled to your max MP.
In KH1 I just swapped to the next Keyblade I unlocked. Never felt like they mattered all too much in a drastic way. A few I like more than the others in design. I like the kingdom Key the most
My favorite Keyblades in this game are Oathkeeper, Sleeping Lion(dude, it has a Lion head and you can imagine it spits out the fire balls as you use the fire spell, what’s not to love?), Spellbinder(don’t you dare underestimate how important magic is for Keyblade wielders, Aeroga, Curaga, and Stopga are my favorite spells), and Diamond Dust!(I don’t say deep freeze, But I do love it’s significant boost to magic~)
Oathkeeper is still my favorite non-Disney Keyblade from KH1. Not for the ship, I like the design and that it has the kanji for “light” as the key teeth. My gf also got me a cosplay prop of it for our first Christmas years ago.
Metal Chocobo and Oathkeeper are my favs oath was pretty spot on but I like Metal cause it’s a huge slab of metal and I imagine causing genuine blunt trauma on heartless
@@ianlawvoiceover1056 Ah. Neat. I only ever tried to use Strike Raid in standard KH and it pretty much never helped me. Because I didn't know the properties changed in FM, I just went with what I know worked.
I’ll stand by Kingdom Key and Ultima Weapon (KH1) Kingdom Key for every other game Ultima Weapon in Kingdom Hearts 1 since it’s the coolest looking out of all Ultimas in my opinion, took me 4 years to gather up the courage to finally make said Keyblade and helped me beat Sephiroth and Unknown/Xemnas. Also for the Diamond Dust description, ever since I’ve shown my friends KH, one of them unironically quotes “Deep Freeze” every 2 seconds.
Metal Chocobo - first time playing, never looked behind me for Oblivion, never met Belle on return to Castle Oblivion, and went straight to world's end forgetting about Hades cup
Divine Rose is one of my favorites because I have fond memories of playing through beauty and the beasts world in the games I played as a kid. Also I like the flower keyblades a lot because flowers becoming weapons is amazing.
In my defence of the player who built his Sora a magic user in KH1, it is surprisingly very powerful. I remember I just spam Thunder in the Coliseum and wipes most things in 1 shot. Time trial was such a breeze. And yes, Lionheart is my favourite keyblade because I DO like FF8. You got me there :P
Man I just like oathkeeper 'cuz it was noob op in coded. Like it was the safeguard keyblade, all defenses and bonuses to not pay attention to mechanics and just bash arround as much as you could ever want
Glad to see there are other people in the comments who understand just how crazy a magic build is. After the first time reaching Hollow Bastion, I vowed never to go without again.
Magic in KH1 is broken as balls. Of course I went with a magic build! Lol. If KH3 didn't exist; I'd argue magic in KH1 is as broken as it gets due to being applicable almost everywhere. Especially after you get Bambi and are able to spam Firaga to your heart's content. The only thing making it not stupid broken in the coliseum is the banning of summons there.
Crabclaw is the magic user's Olympia for that Dark Riku Fight. Personal experience, yes. I wont say it's my favorite, but it has its uses. And I like the card motif of Lady Luck, but that's about it.
Definitely the best Disney themed Keyblade in KH1 aesthetic wise. Although I don’t use it for long because I immediately go for Olympia afterward beating Neverland.
I love Lady Luck. Purple's my favourite colour, and I love that not knowing about it, I just got it for going back and exploring the world. Felt really awesome getting a Keyblade as my reward.
I'm tied between Kingdom Key and Oathkeeper. Here's the thing: Regular Pat is Regular Pat, and I'm not. (Shot for Gerald Ford joke.) In all seriousness though, I'm just the kind of guy who likes doing "basic weapons only" run every now and then, so. I am absolutely roasted by the SoKai comment though; I *do* ship them hardcore 😂😅
1:10 Actually, I never played a single FF game until well after I started playing KH1. The Metal Chocobo is my favorite because it's the only Keyblade design in the game that actually takes the "key-shaped melee weapon" motif seriously. The long reach and high recoil stats don't hurt, either, and all of its shortcomings are easily solved with accessories and -modding- Critical Plus. :)
Still salty over Oblivion being one of the coolest looking Keyblades and then having doodoo stats compared to Divine Rose, which you can get right after
Eh I always thought Oathkeeper looks better; Oblivion is just a black version of lionheart to me personally
In my case before
@@joshz2491 same here
I think it stings more with the fact that it was better in the original version of KH1
You usually get it before Oblivion. It’s earlier in the castle lol
Best thing about Crabclaw - the little bubble effect when you land attacks
Almost makes you think you're playing as Tidus in Final Fantasy X!
So basically you like Crabclaw and nobody else does, but you plead "BUT WHAT ABOUT DA BUBBLES?"
@@cosplayingchao And nearly 200 people apparently love da bubbles
@@acehealer4212 Hey man...what _about_ da bubbles?
Heh heh.. "land" attacks.
i was half-expecting the oblivion joke to be the same as the oathkeeper joke but with soriku
Same, and it would be true because Im a Soriku shipper and love Oblivion
@@milenartmeire2588 same
You're actually right about Olympia. That's literally what happened to me when I played the game a second time on the hardest difficulty
Lionheart is a great sleek design, real "less is more" (especially in comparison to later keyblades that go way overboard on the amount of junk thrown on them)
Also neat stats.
Simple and clean design plus nice stats was an instant use for me. Both of Leon's keyblades are my favorite in 1 and 2 but I have never played FF8 lol
It's one of my favorite Kh1 keyblade.
It'll most likely slip from your hand if you tried swinging it
i like that it has the trigger effect from ffviii, honestly so cool but i don't think i have a favorite keyblade
Damn, the amount of shade you're throwing is so dark Heartless are emerging
I actually did go with a magic build in an action RPG and it was really fun. By the time I got to fairy harp, I had goofy with MP haste and MP gift which basically made it impossible for me to run out unless I was alone.

Sephiroth and Kurt Ziza then said hello with a middle finger didn't they
@@UnbornDecay By that point you have Divine Rose, though.
@@GayLPer Yeah but if your build is based on magic you're fuuuuuu-
Spellbinder and Ladyluck have such good magic! How could I not pick them!?
Well, they have good magic, but they are not that powerful. I use Divine Rose. If I remember right, this is second powerful keyblade after Ultima Weapon
@@KirikkSiSq someone has never used a magic build
@@justarandomguy9384 it's my first ARPG playthrough ever

@@ubermaster134 True, but remember young one, it’s not about how short the blade is, but how you use it.
@@agentclank8183 but we don't use knifes in kingdom hearts😐
@@Bluedude08 😬 if ya know ya know.

I'm a blow your mind the charm she gives sora is the keychain on oath keeper
My history: looked at it, said "cool" stayed with oblivion
Me when Oathkeeper caption comes up: Yes but also it is seriously the best-looking keychain, (because that's technically what they are) not named ultima weapon 😎
I unironically liked Crabclaw when I was younger......then I grew up and now Diamond Dust is my favorite KH1 keyblade.
Yea but such a pain in the ass to get.
The deep freeze bit got me 😂 not even my favorite keyblade, Sora's voice lines just live in my head rent free at this point 😂😂😂
STOP! FORCE! FORCE! FORCE! DEEP FREEZE! DEEP FREEZE! DEEP FREEZE! DEEP FREEZE!
Now then… let’s talk about kh2 keyblades.
My favorite Keyblades in KH2 are Oblivion, Star Seeker, Follow the Wind, and Bond of Flame.
Fenrir for the win.
I do prefer Oathkeeper, but not for the shipping reasons, but because I liked the design at stat boosts. Also, Magic is OP in KH and anybody who says otherwise hasn't actually tried to make a magic build.

Metal Chocobo’s reach is so awesome. I find myself using it well after it gets outperformed by other keyblades.
As an Oathkeeper enjoyer, you hit the nail on the head.
I've never been prouder to be exposed.
Don't hate on the Mage Guild, Bio!
Not even ten seconds in and you're already out for blood.
0:05 i didn't know we could change keyblades at the begining, and by the time i figured it out, it felt too weird having anything else
In KH1 I just swapped to the next Keyblade I unlocked. Never felt like they mattered all too much in a drastic way.
A few I like more than the others in design.
I like the kingdom Key the most
Everyone sleeps on wishing star but getting that guaranteed critical hit on the finisher carried it.
Can you do a “What Your Favorite KH1 Boss Says About You” video?
LOL That might be fun haha
To be fair Lionheart did give a boost in fire and made little mini blasts of fire with every hit. It was a decent keyblade
It actually looks like a weapon, 75% of them don't.
I now want a series of this for every KH game. Brilliant stuff, BR!
I love these videos! I can't wait to see KH2 and KH3 keyblades next 😍
As a Spellbinder stan, yeah, you got me.
My favorite Keyblades in this game are Oathkeeper, Sleeping Lion(dude, it has a Lion head and you can imagine it spits out the fire balls as you use the fire spell, what’s not to love?), Spellbinder(don’t you dare underestimate how important magic is for Keyblade wielders, Aeroga, Curaga, and Stopga are my favorite spells), and Diamond Dust!(I don’t say deep freeze, But I do love it’s significant boost to magic~)

Oh shit, you might actually be right. I thought the teeth were only in the shape of a star.
@@astraldirectrix yep. Oathkeeper has the kanji for light and Oblivion has the kanji for dark.
Metal Chocobo and Oathkeeper are my favs oath was pretty spot on but I like Metal cause it’s a huge slab of metal and I imagine causing genuine blunt trauma on heartless
This video is what got me motivated to actually do the platinum match now.
Strike raid is your friend.
do it!!
@@ianlawvoiceover1056 I find that Superglide helps me more than Strike Raid. My timing is too bad to do otherwise.
@@supergamer1388 Strike raid makes you invincible in FM and you can spam it with a magic keyblade overall
@@ianlawvoiceover1056 Ah. Neat. I only ever tried to use Strike Raid in standard KH and it pretty much never helped me. Because I didn't know the properties changed in FM, I just went with what I know worked.
Pumpkin head just looks so cool! My uncle likes kingdom hearts and loves nightmare before Christmas, so it would be perfect for him.
I’ll stand by Kingdom Key and Ultima Weapon (KH1)
Kingdom Key for every other game
Ultima Weapon in Kingdom Hearts 1 since it’s the coolest looking out of all Ultimas in my opinion, took me 4 years to gather up the courage to finally make said Keyblade and helped me beat Sephiroth and Unknown/Xemnas.
Also for the Diamond Dust description, ever since I’ve shown my friends KH, one of them unironically quotes “Deep Freeze” every 2 seconds.
You could not have possibly been more on-point with the Olympia one, my gosh
"You're crazy enough to use magic in an ARPG."
But magic is really busted in KH1
Magic is really busted in ALL KH games.
Metal Chocobo - first time playing, never looked behind me for Oblivion, never met Belle on return to Castle Oblivion, and went straight to world's end forgetting about Hades cup
Divine Rose is one of my favorites because I have fond memories of playing through beauty and the beasts world in the games I played as a kid.
Also I like the flower keyblades a lot because flowers becoming weapons is amazing.
I like Oathkeeper cause it's the most aesthetically pleasing one to me, plus it's formchange is one of my favorites in KH3
In my defence of the player who built his Sora a magic user in KH1, it is surprisingly very powerful. I remember I just spam Thunder in the Coliseum and wipes most things in 1 shot. Time trial was such a breeze.
And yes, Lionheart is my favourite keyblade because I DO like FF8. You got me there :P
To this day, KH1 Ultima Weapon is the best looking final weapon in any JRPG
Man I just like oathkeeper 'cuz it was noob op in coded. Like it was the safeguard keyblade, all defenses and bonuses to not pay attention to mechanics and just bash arround as much as you could ever want
Oathkeeper and Oblivion are two of the best designed Keyblades in all of KH, there is no changing my mind
We get it, you like Roxas.
Glad to see there are other people in the comments who understand just how crazy a magic build is. After the first time reaching Hollow Bastion, I vowed never to go without again.
One Winged is just a fire ball on a stick. Just a deep-fried dodge ball on a stick
Me with my Oathkeeper on the wall: "Yeah well that's accurate."
I love the Regular pat almost like "roast" in a way
Same
I do like Marlucia, but rumbling rose is my favorite because it is the ultimate brute force keyblade which I used to beat Sephiroth
What your favorite kh 2 mini game says about you.
#1. Mail delivery. You really want that watermelon.
Magic in KH1 is broken as balls. Of course I went with a magic build! Lol. If KH3 didn't exist; I'd argue magic in KH1 is as broken as it gets due to being applicable almost everywhere. Especially after you get Bambi and are able to spam Firaga to your heart's content. The only thing making it not stupid broken in the coliseum is the banning of summons there.
I use Oathkeeper because not only is it fucking sick in terms of design, but yes I am a major SoKai stan.
Crabclaw is the magic user's Olympia for that Dark Riku Fight. Personal experience, yes. I wont say it's my favorite, but it has its uses. And I like the card motif of Lady Luck, but that's about it.
I know this was jokes and giggles, but spellbinder hit home. cause yes, i do
Kingdom Key: you were an idiot as a kid and haven't realized you can change keyblades until halfway through the game.
As a Divine Rose fan, I am also a Marluxia fan. You got me.
You gotta do this for KH2 and 3 as well. Maybe even some of the spin-offs like BBS or DDD
Yeah I plan to haha :>
my favorites are metal chocobo, spellbinder and oblivion. pretty much spot on. but magic build is the most fun way to play the game. staff for life.
Damn, you really called me out fr with the oathkeeper one 😭
My nose has grown so much from my love of the Wishing Star that I could saw it off and use it as my new favourite Keyblade.
I used to use the metal chocobo when I was a baby because I thought it was chocolate
best comment
Wooden Sword: you haven’t left Destiny Islands yet
I liked Pumpkinhead. I was very fond of it and it did well for quite some time before I found one to switch it out with.
Definitely the best Disney themed Keyblade in KH1 aesthetic wise. Although I don’t use it for long because I immediately go for Olympia afterward beating Neverland.
I liked Pumpkinhead because I’m a fan of Nightmare Before Christmas. Heck, the game helped me fall in love with the movie.
the pipe bit actually destroyed my sides oh god XD
Oooh part 2 with KHII?
Also Divine Rose is me... so much... the second I got in UX I equipped it and haven't taken it off since.
1:45 That is a very accurate description of my first experience with Sephiroth.
Oathkeeper for me, but more because of it's design being all shiny and the most heroic looking one to me.
I love Lady Luck. Purple's my favourite colour, and I love that not knowing about it, I just got it for going back and exploring the world. Felt really awesome getting a Keyblade as my reward.
I swear the oblivion keyblade is SO COOL
you know, if it had good stats.
1:31 the *thunk* when sora hits the shadow LMAOOOOO
Spellbinder is my favourite.i love the magic, space theme in it.
Keyblade of hearts: you’re an edge lord who craves what they can’t have
Personally, I like Lionheart because it reminds me of Sora’s original concept. Plus it doesn’t clash with his design like so many of the keyblades do.
I'm tied between Kingdom Key and Oathkeeper.
Here's the thing: Regular Pat is Regular Pat, and I'm not. (Shot for Gerald Ford joke.) In all seriousness though, I'm just the kind of guy who likes doing "basic weapons only" run every now and then, so.

You didn’t have to call me out with that lady luck bit lmao.
“One of the crazy people that goes with a magic build” and that’s wrong because…? You’ve never played lv1 in 1 have you?
Great video. Thanks for the laughs.
What about grinding out strength boosts to reach the damage cap and using diamond dust for max magic?
damn, the spellbinder was spot on.
I was always a fan of Oathkeeper. Especially in KH2 since it extends your Drive forms. It also has a decent Magic buff and I like abusing Magic.
YOU HAD TO DO MY PUMPKINHEAD LIKE THAT 🤣
I did like Divine Rose… if I’m too lazy to get Ultima. Besides its stat and high crit rate, Beauty and the Beast is one of my favorite Disney movies.
Actually I have 3 favorite keyblades. OBLIVION, CRAB CLAW & PUMPKIN HEAD.
1:02 I like the way it’s made and I can imagine myself having something like that as my Keyblade 😁👍
OWA is my fave. The fight introduced me to Sephiroth so it DID change me forever in some way lol
Lmao the Diamond Dust is such a call out hahaha I do be doing that
Crabclaw is Bio's favorite keyblade confirmed
0:37 my man nailed me like a damn post sign
Should’ve had Riku’s keyblade in here too (the one he fights you with) cause it’s a stake made of hearts
Now do the KH2 keyblades!
Spellbinder is me! I’m not crazy, bro, magic in Kingdom Hearts is crazy good, you cast Graviga and Blizzaga and everything in front of you dies.
"I'm only here for the final fantasy" well you've got me pegged lol
i like the keychain at the bottom of oblivion thats why its my favourite!
Olympia is that keyblade that you have the longest, at least until you get the next high attack keyblade
Pumpkinhead cuz I love nightmare before Xmas. Also Decisive Pumpkin from the second, the little pumpkins that pop out are so cool.!
I wanna say you wielded both oathkeeper and oblivion because you use both light and darkness
You're missing the most iconic: Riku's edgy keyblade! Way to Dawn or whatever? That thing was sick.
After Oathkeeper being about SoKai I almost expected Oblivion following up with a SoRiku
The IMMEDIATE pat slander lmao
