    Correction 1: Pointed out by The Animated Ignoramas, a true pacifist run of KH1 would avoid Monstro entirely, as it does not appear in World Terminus, so the Parasite Cage can be spared in favor of doing Atlantica and HT.
    Correction 2: Pointed out by IanMyDude, BtwAlexHere, and Big Boss on TH-cam and Neku on Discord, the fights with the Shadows sent by Pete at Mysterious Tower, the mobs who steal the 100 Acre Wood book in Hollow Bastion, the first mob fight in KH2 Halloween Town, **AND** the fight against the Space Paranoids mobs in Hollow Bastion can end by letting the enemies hit you, so *subtract 44* from both the KH2 counts and the grand totals. Believe it or not, I never died on these fights so I had no idea. (But like seriously, the cutscenes after these fights are unchanged regardless of how it goes, and it makes no sense, especially in the case of the Pete Shadows.) Anyway, very embarrassing to be wrong on the internet like this.
    Correction 3: Pointed out by KeybladeBrett, you actually *can* progress to the Leon fight in KH1 by seeing all the Donald and Goofy scenes, and ALSO going to the Third District. Seeing the scenes on their own is not enough, you also need to visit the Third District at least once. For the record, there are 4 scenes (entering the Hotel, the Gizmo Shop, the Dalmatians' House, and the Alleyway). This is especially funny considering all 3 of the proposed progression methods I listed are actually true. I reckon the reason I've always heard/assumed that it's 5 Shadow kills is because that's the fastest way to do it. So, subtract another 5 from the KH1 counts and grand totals.

      Monstro does still appear in Sora’s memory restoration clips in KH2 and I don’t think Jiminy would be quite so chummy with Sora if he didn’t help Pinocchio so couldn’t it be possible that he still killed the parasite cage?
      Edit: I also thought I’d include that Monstro wouldn’t show up in the World Terminus because he isn’t a world. Just a random whale that’s somehow thriving in the Lanes Between.

      I had guessed a score of around 13k myself, since by my recall they refer to the huge ass mob fight at the Graveyard in 3 as being 10k heartless(despite ironically requiring less kills on foot) and I recalled KH3 have a fair bit more Big Mob Fights, but I suppose Second Visits in 2 adds a big chunk, 3k is a good number to conclude on though, nice work

    Now I wonder how a "True Murderer" Run would look like. That is, going out of your way to kill every single heartless in sight, but avoiding repeated encounters (each room counts once unless you must repeat that room because of the story). Or count each encounter (including optional ones) separately but never more than once.

  • @EFlatPC
    @EFlatPC ปีที่แล้ว +96

    You could argue Sora never actually kills any of the White Mushrooms or Rare Truffles, kinda like the Darksides at the beginning of KH1. No matter what you do with the White Mushrooms, they either get angry at you and leave, or they reward you and leave. Same for the Rare Truffles. So any room with those as a possible spawn can be cleared of Heartless with no kills just by hitting them each once.

    You know, it's funny you mentioned Roxas' kill count, because that was actually the first thing that popped into my mind at the start of the video. Because while Sora's kill count, even while being as conservative as possible, is definetly impressive, Roxas did almost nothing BUT kill heartless nearly every single day for close to a year, so I'm wondering how many that is.
    You can divide his kill count in two as well. An underachiever kill count where Roxas does the bare minimun to complete his missions, and an overachiever kill count where he collects the maximum amount of hearts the mission asks for.

    Personally I would add the Demon Tide at the Union X cutscene to be the actual number of keyblades that were sent to help Sora. With Ephemer and the 300 keyblades of the past I would add 301 to total as the roughest estimate that we can get. Assuming 1 keyblade kills one heartless from the tide and Sora directing all the attacks. But that’s just me.

    Really cool video! I'd like to provide a bit of insight for KH1 that I haven't seen in the comments yet. For the 9 Shadows in Dive to the Heart, you can actually despawn all of the enemies by walking far away from them, and that actually progresses the game. The same can be said for the Soldiers before the Guard Armor fight, and the two elevator rides in Hollow Bastion (although this one takes an incredible amount of patience).
    For KH3 you can skip the Water Core and Earth Core fights in Olympus by doing some fancy air slides over the area that they spawn in, which is done in the speedrun.

    You don’t need to ride the dolphin a second time to reach Ursula’s lair; after the first visit to the Sunken Ship, there’s a passage to the Undersea Gorge at the bottom that, in addition to being enemy free, moves the stuck giant chest out of the way next to Ariel’s Grotto. Makes a much faster return trip and no need to worry about the command menu at all, but still gotta beat the shark for Sebastian to unlock the Den of Tides.

    My original guess was that Sora would kill a minimum of 3,000, but I fully expected it to be higher. I didn’t take into account how many heartless are actually optional, so I had a feeling it would be a lot higher.

    20:13 Riku was shown to have used a Castle Oblivion World Card on his final floor for stated plot reasons but Sora not only wasn't shown to have used any World Card on his final floor unlike every other floor but was also completely out of them by that point as well as aware of the manipulation. As for whether the Heartless on specifically Sora's Castle Oblivion floor are real or not I'm leaning towards no because even though Sora didn't use a World Card to reskin the whole floor before entering he still progressed through the unaltered floor by altering each individual room with Map Cards. Regardless as you pointed out there are plenty of loopholes for the purpose of this video.

    While I’m with you on not counting the Nobodies on a specifically Heartless kill count, I feel like their deaths would matter more if you were really taking this seriously. Even the lesser Nobodies are intelligent to some extent.
    Also, if you look at all the enemy ship models in KH2, they almost all have the Nobody symbol, not the Heartless one. So for the sake of this count, KH2 gummi kills straight up don’t count.

      Well this is earthshattering. I've never been this wrong so many times within like two hours of a video posting lmao. Thanks Brett, I'll update this. Thrilled at least to learn something about KH1-- I have been told time and time again that it is strictly 5 Shadow kills and 5 Shadow kills only to progress. I assume that's the prevailing info because it's definitely the fastest way to progress. EDIT-- I just tested it out, it seems like you also *must* go to the Third District to progress peacefully, in addition to seeing all of the D&G scenes. I saw all of them and Leon wouldn't trigger, but then went to Third District and it worked after that. Fascinating tbh

    Just wanted to point out, in canon, Mushu remembers being summoned by Sora and states "We used to beat all kinds of bad guy butt together" which points to Mushu being used for several of these encounters. Simba recognizes him too. Doesn't really change the numbers, but it could influence them

    In KH1 Atlantica, you can actually connect the area around Ariel's grotto and the sunken ship by knocking a giant chest out of the way, so there's no need to get the dolphin to give you a second ride to the ship.

    @numbug1234 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The Torn page in Monstro in KH1 is up on a high ledge, however enemies spawn in the ground around that room (and, I believe, every entrance), necessitating at least a few kills for a "canon" total. Fortunately, it's possible to rescue the 51 puppies (7 chests) needed to get the Torn Page from Pongo and Perdito, though if you think they're part of the "canon route" then at least some of them definitely 100% require fighting enemies.

    I don't think that defeating Heartless (or Nobodies, for that matter) actually counts as killing. Heartless and Nobodies are essentially two separated parts of a whole being, and defeating a person's Heartless and Nobody causes that person to be restored to their original form, so it's more like bringing them back to life than killing them.

    @BloodDripss 11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    i love this video and the idea of it. i would really love to know the answer if (at least just in kingdom hearts 1) you kill one instance of every enemy you run into. like, for every time you HAVE to run into a spawn of heartless, assume the average player/sora himself would most likely take that crowd out the first time seeing it rather than running away. like if running down a hallway for the first time, every time one wave of heartless spawns if its gaurenteed to spawn in that area (so discluding totally random heartless which arent common anyway) then we assume sora/the player kills that wave to get through. and if there is for some reason you have to go passed that same spawn or gaurenteed heartless just dont kill them. TL;DR, how many kills would sora most likely have gotten assuming he was always fighting heartless when he sees them?

    It's possible through save point warping to skip having to kill the pot spider in Agrabah as long as you touched the one in Aladdin's House.
    After saving Aladdin go to Storage Room and land back in Aladdin's House and you can easily reach the Bazaar without going around.

    One thing i could think of that would probly lower the amount of heartless killed by Minnie, Riku and maybe Carpet escape would be playing on higher difficulties. Proud Mode is probably the way to go, since Critical gives you a 25% damage boost, allthough i am not sure if that applies to Party Members as weell.

So far I cannot come close to matching your count on the part where Hercules keeps the roof from collapsing, the Puffball massacre, the make Boo laugh segment, or the Rock troll in Arendelle. All of these come up at least several heartless over your count even on repeat tries and going by each heartless one by one. I’m curious what difficulty you did this on? I did beginner
