When you remember that Donald canonically served in the US Navy during WWII. There were no atom bombs. There was only a duck with a wand and top-tier Final Fantasy magic.
Zetta Flare is as far as I know the most powerful spell to exist within Final Fantasy. It’s even stronger than Bahamuts greatest Flare. Now that’s all fine and good until you realize that Goofy’s reaction means Donald has used this spell before.
Only other user of Zeta/Zetta Flare in all of the Square Enixverse is from Bravely Default. Since she can use it seemingly without limit and Donald can’t, this puts Donald as the third strongest creature in all of Square Enix. Weird. Spoiled name - Airy
@@Hadaron Iam pretty sure that Airy can only use Zetta flare infinitly because she is getting energy from the god of destruction, she probably would delete herself if she uses Zetta flare alone
@@shamaruskei That still invites a comparison between Donald and , which is pretty wild in its own right. Spoiler Name: , although if you've followed the conversation down this far you probably either already know or don't care.
Considering he can also learn some pretty strong (albeit basic) healing spells, my man Donald has to be the strongest Red Mage in the universe. To have the power to fire off a Zettaflare... such a thing cannot be done without sacrificing one’s own life, but the strength necessary to create it is... not a small undertaking, to be certain.
I can't decide on my favorite part of this. -Mickey's utter confusion -Donald's bloodlust in using astronomical overkill -Goofy's "not AGAIN!" reaction -Sora's glee that a human was just atomized in front of his eyes
Donald: i may have Cure but im a literal ducking MAGE I ONLY CURE WHEN OUR LIFE IS IN DANGER also I DON'T HAVE MP WHENEVER I RAN OUT AND IF I HAVE ETHER'S I WOULD'VE HELP AND HEAL OURSELF
Something to add onto what everyone’s already said is that, with how absolutely devastating flare attacks are, Donald would’ve likely defeated Terranort with a much weaker flare such as Teraflare, even if it wasn’t concentrated into a beam Flare attacks are naturally ‘area of effect’ attacks, like an explosion. Although there’s no canon scaling for how powerful a caster must be to concentrate flares, it’s likely that Donald must have great control to do something as unique as concentrating an explosion spell into a beam, never mind one as powerful as Zettaflare. Now for the fun part, Zettaflare is 1,000,000,000x stronger than Teraflare, an attack that, due to its already amazing power, would’ve, again, likely defeated Terranort, at least temporarily. But no, Donald was absolutely fucking SICK of this man, if the weight of a fragment of a paper clip could’ve beat him, Donald used the equivalent of 20 tanks to vaporise him instantly, knocking Donald out. *Donald decided not to hold back the power of gods, even with the threat of losing consciousness, for no reason beyond sheer fucking hate and malice.*
Also keep in mind tetrflare was only used by the strongest version of bahamut, bahamut zero, who is viewed and looked upon as an actual God wich means Donald would need to have the power of atleast 200 bahamut zeroes to use zettaflare normally let alone focus it into a beam which means that beam would've obliterated anything that it hit less than microseconds. TL;DR: Donald duck used a magic beam with the power of over 200 gods to destroy a man until there was nothing left of him because he slightly breathed on his friends. And lived
Donald straight up killed Terra here. Knocked him right into the game over animation, then blasted until the screen went pure white, then kept blasting until not even the ash from his corpse remained.
Scrooge: Kids? Never let your uncle get a hold of a wand or sceptor. Huey: But why? Dewey: He can't possibly use it, right? Luey: Yeah, its not like he's some black mage capable of throwing a potentially world destroying beam of death. Scrooge: ... Luey: Oh my word, he is isn't he? Scrooge: Again. No wand. *Ever* .
Scrooge has done some crazy stuff too, but in my theory. I think Donald’s magic abilities come from his father’s side of the family. Not from his mother’s side. His paternal great grandfather, Clinton Coot, was a legendary figure and the leader of the original caballeros. That’s if you ever watched the Legend of the Three Caballeros. Would be interesting on how powerful Mickey, Donald and Goofy would be if you combined every version of themselves into one timeline.
@@Christopher_Woods The Mickey, Donald, and Goofy in KH seem to be a composite version of them, as they have memories of their past versions. If that’s the case, they’re all stupidly powerful and extremely old.
@@BraytonLaymon Season 1 Episode 23 "The Shadow War" It's the season finale, so if you intend to watch you might be a little confused about what's going on, but the entire episode is up on the Disney XD channel
"His tendency to lash out was wildly unfocused. Until he joined into your party. He came to me wanting to be the best mage he could. So he channeled that anger onto protective instinct. Every outburst is donalds wanting to protect his party members. He loves you so much the thought of anything bad happening to you. INFURIATES HIM!!" -Merlin 0:20
Love that reference. Donald’s power literally comes through anger. He’s practically a combination of Thor and Hulk if you look at it amongst avengers. Uses magic in combat and get stronger with rage.
There seem to be some misconception what Donald Duck is. He is the kings court magician, aka, the one out of all the mages in the kingdom recognized for his talent and ability Not the Court Healer or Court Priest etc. Everytime you complained about him not healing you? Its like asking a mechanic to perform surgery, sure he got some first aid knowledge but thats not what he is trained for. This Zettaflare is divine realm magic, aka magic that would drain even "gods" in the FF/Disney/KH universe, the fact that donald have enough magic in him to perform this magic and not turn into dust is a marvel in its own, thst his only drawback is getting knocked out from having his MP/HP drained to cast this spell At the beginning of KH1 he was weaker then Yen Sid and Merlin, but while Sora been losing his powers over and over Goofy and Donald havent, their skills, experience and training fighting all kinds of heartless and bosses is what drove donald to reach this power. In terms of character class you could say he evolved from "Scholar" to a Sage because something you need to keep in mind is that over the years of FF classes, they are usually not linear, they usually have a range of options of how to customize the build And in donalds case he simple took a few points towards healing because he saw it as necessary to be of service to his king, and more points to it later because Sora was being a weak clutz who needed the helping hand. But at the core Donald is both personality wise and character wise a offensive aspect, who is trained to cast offensive magic foremost but forced to take support actions.
So the question I ask is if he is so powerful to cast Zettaflare why can't he heal me? Kinda sus of Donald. Also where on earth did you here that Donald is wise? And Goofy can walking into a building without tripping over nothing if you can believe that.
To be perfectly honest, I've never played any of the Kingdom Hearts games and I stumbled upon this video by accident. After reading through the story behind Zettaflare, this is probably one of the most powerful scenes (not talking about strength here) Square Enix has ever put into a game. So according to what I've read, Donald used Zettaflare before on accident and it almost killed him (reason Goofy tells him not to since he knew the spell and the toll it takes). The fact that Donald purposely cast it again while channeling most (all?) of his mana into it is beyond brave. He very well knew that the usage of this spell could / will potentially kill him but he completely disregarded his own life in full determination of saving his friends. You can see it in his eyes, his clenched fist and even in his (albeit kinda weird) voice. There was not a single second of hesitation, doubt or regret sacrificing himself to save his companions. Well done Square Enix. This is how you introduce one of the most powerful beings into a franchise flawlessly.
The scary thing is, what if Goofy was scared not about the spell draining Donald's life force, but he was instead scared about the amount of collateral damage this could cause? Teraflare did so much damage so what would an unfocused Zettaflare would do when cast without enough precautions?
@@clonezero_RR This checks out as well because the -flare line are canonically explosions across all of final fantasy. However Donald exercises such high level control over the strongest spell in existence and focuses it into a beam faster than one of the fastest characters in the franchise. GG.
The only issue is that Donald was already introduced, and giving him a god killing spell out of no where with no context is fucking stupid. You literally got more context for this moment than I did playing the game, and getting to that point.
I actually love this scene, even with 0 context and never playing a Kingdom Hearts game. Because there's always been a breaking point for Donald. In Ducktales, it's if you breath slightly heated air on his nephews, in normal Mickey, it's any slight inconvenience, and here, it's if you touch his friends, it's nice.
@Hooty HOOT HOOT The sheer force of Donald's anger would delete you from existence Everything you've ever done has suddenly never happened and every part of you is gone :V
And the best part is here, he’s not just gonna wreck you. If you cross that line, *he will smite you with literal god level power.* God I love this series.
You know, it’s times like this that I remember and appreciate that Donald is canonically the strongest Red Mage in the combined Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy universe.
@@seabass9494 it doesn't matter if zetaflare i is a black magic spell what matters you in this case is that he knows a healing spell which black mages never learn he is actually a Red mage in this case considering that red mages can use both black magic and white magic this single act does make him one of the most powerful red mages in existence
Makes sense, he’s also canonically the only Disney character to serve in the military and saw combat in the Pacific, which is where his ptsd comes from.
Basically, suicidal duck uses the strongest nuke ever conceived on an enemy, when a nuke hundreds of thousands of times smaller would've probably done just about as good, but square enix wanted to make a duck from Disney the strongest canonical mage in all of final fantasy history. And, according to Goofys reaction, THIS ISNT THE FIRST TIME HES DONE IT Edit: As someone pointed out below me, he also does this before Xehanort, who is canonically faster and stronger than Sora and Riku (two characters who parried HUNDREDS of blasts of light and point blank range), can even react. This wasn't just instant, this was faster than instant. He and Goofy are fucking gods
"Say fellas, did somebody mention the door to darkness?" And this scene, that's all that I've ever seen from Kingdom Hearts, and all I have to say is 😳👀
@@sephikong8323 highly yes, he was able to cast zeta flare which mind you is two tier above the strongest flare have been casted in the game beforehand something that could even drain/kill god and for the marvelous fact the he didn’t just instantly become dust mean he got ENOUGH mana and hp to cast it
To be fair with the guy, he indeed got as good as donald with lower levels of magic. But he's a red mage and those don't learn the highest levels to begin with.
What I gathered from the context clues: Donald Duck can canonically cast what is essentially anime wizard death star beam. I choose to assume that this ability is shared by every iteration of the character.
Apparently a death beam that usually requires a connection with a multiversal being of unknown origins, and one he's seemingly used before. Word of good wisdom: Don't mess with the Duck!
Random show? That wasn't random, it was the DUCKTALES remake and the reason we have closure on TAILSPIN, as well as new origins for RESCUE RANGERS and DARKWING DUCK. Please, give respect to the glorious work.
Everything about this scene is perfect. The fact that Mickey is confused, the fact that Donald unleashes a fucking concentrated beam of atomic explosions, the fact that Bahamut, a *_literal dragon_* cannot even cast it, making Donald fucking Duck more powerful than him, Terranort getting utterly obliterated (he gets better,) Sora being happy about said obliteration, and, of course, the icing on this cake, Goofy reacting as though _he's seen this spell used by Donald before._ Then, you go and make it *_even better_* by syncing it up with Bury The Light. Bravo, good sir. Bravo.
Even when we get an actual Bahamut that can cast it, sure he's way more powerful, but his charge time was ungodly, and he still needed an external boost. Donald fully charged before Goofy hit the ground! He may not be as powerful or have the stamina to stay conscious after, but Ret. Navy Sgt. Duck's eighty-five plus years worth of fury and destructive rage means it comes so natural.
No, Bahamut can cast it in Final Fantasy XVI. Said Bahamut is the creation of a guy who was the mage-king of a species that had an innate affinity for Ultima magic. So, y'know. A wee bit stronger than the average Bahamut.
Something NO ONE mentions during this event is that these kids can literally move faster than light. In KH2 ending boss battle, Sora and Rikku consistently REACT to light speed attacks. Where Terranort should be equivalent to that to even pose a combative threat. Meaning, not only did Donald cast Zettaflare, a spell to SURPASS the highest level of Bahamut the Dragon God of Final Fantasy, but he casted that spell BEFORE INSTANTANEOUS. He decided to use this spell, charged the mana, and obliterated a PRIME ability keyblade master, ALL before a light speed attack would have even been shot off. I think THAT is the truly horrifying part of this all no one mentions...
Old video but as a kingdom hearts fan I have to add another factor to how impressive this feat is. In kingdom hearts when you die your heart is released to move onto the final realm (unless it is by heartless, in that case it is captured) and hearts are largely regarded as unable to be destroyed, damaged sure, broken, but not outright destroyed. Basically a heart is always there. Why am I mentioning this? *You don't see a heart get released during or after the beam* Donald hit terranort so hard he didn't just kill him, he outright deleted his very existence to the point something thought unable to be destroyed was reduced to *nothing*. he overkilled him so much he straight up sent him to oblivion. And this is a series that said hearts have survived. 1.being ripped apart from the inside via memories (a key component of the heart in universe) being straight up ripped out of it. 2.being converted to data then that data being blown up. 3.Being poisoned by darkness and then pretty much ripped out of the body. 4.and on two separate occasions it has survived a keyblade beam (something that is pretty much regarded as a true piercing attack since it is designed to penetrate any magical defense and unlock any lock behind those defenses.) And yet we don't see a heart here. It straight up got deleted.
Cap. You only release a heart if a heartless kills you. If a nobody, unversed or non-heartless Disney villain take you down, there's no heart above sora in the game over screen.
@@violent_sneezes5113 not quite, Kingdom hearts 3 retcons that to establish the final world is the afterlife considering it's stated it is 'the final stop', thus where you go even if your death is not via heartless, the final world is just the limbo your heart goes to before passing on. So despite not seeing a heart in kingdom hearts 1 and 2 when being beaten by certain enemies 3 retconed it to all deaths release a heart, just heartless in particular prevent you from moving on to the final world. If the final world detail was not there then yes, heartless and key bearers would be largely the only ones able to rip out a heart in death.
@@iamsinistar8971 old post but considering the aftermath it is likely zetaflare is a desperation attack that also burns up the users own life force (supported by the aftermath and goofys reaction to seeing it being charged up) for Donald to use it since he immediately went down afterwards (it wasn't stated if he died but the giving off particles of light thing tends to occur on users who are actively dying such as sora in kingdom hearts 1)
It's Disney. What do you expect? The fact that I don't play this series because of the damn childish Disney in the game that make this game is hard to take seriously
So, you are telling me that this guy Is: - A caring Uncle for three kinda annoying Boys, and a caring boyfriend for Daisy - A wizard capable of using One of the strongest spells in the Final Fantasy Universe - He works without pay for Scrooge day and Night because he needs to repay some million dollars of debths - A Batman-like vigilante Who fights criminals and Avenges the wrong done to Donald by (usually) Gladstone and Scrooge - Two different secret agent identities No wonder he sleeps so much
Yep Donald Duck is the real deal. That Duck sure has quite a busy life. He is practically the closest thing those triplets have to father. He isn’t their father but he is their daddy. It would be cool if they knew about his secret identities. I’m sure Scrooge knows about his adventures as a black mage (especially since he’s in the game) and Paperinik. Knowing how Disney likes to expand on other universes I wonder if they’ll expand even further on this one.
@@Christopher_Woods actually, Scrooge doesn't know about Paperinik. The reason Is mainly that he would force him to only protect his Money using Donald's debths as an excuse
Well, I think caring Uncle and Boyfriend is stretching it a little depending on the iteration. In some comics Donald's and Daisy's relationship is pretty toxic. If we go by new Ducktales Donald tho, then yes.
I came here thinking it would be donald being epic with his Ducktales line "I am the storm". I found Donald being the most powerful mage in Square enix. I am content
Now you know why he called himself the storm because his storm is like no other. A Zettaflare is capable of possibly destroying a solar system. Quite frightening when you think how powerful Donald Duck is. If his family knew about his abilities I don’t think Magica DeSpell would stand a chance.
Just wanna remind everyone that Donald didn't just KO Terranort. He deleted him. There was no trace of a body or even the ashes after getting hit with that attack. For context, when Lingering Will used his Ultima Cannon, Terranort survived.
That's a zettaflair it's the most powerful magic spell I know of in final fantasy and oy gods can give this power. Essentially Donald is more powerful than most final bosses from that franchise
What’s more, we never see a heart float away, neither Terra’s nor Xehanort’s, implying he didn’t just evaporate Terranort’s body, he evaporated both their hearts along with it
Only ever played Kingdom Hearts to help my 10-year old sibling with a boss, and I think it goes without saying, Donald's anger issues have to be channeled somewhere, so he recreated God's toddler tantrum as a meter-wide infinite laserbeam. That's some Dragonball Super levels of power.
Fun fact: Donald is the third mage out of the entire Square Enix universes to be able to cast Zettaflare, often regarded as one of, if not the strongest spell to exist. This makes Donald Duck one of the strongest spellcasters to exist.
Not the third *mage* The third *being* The other two entities to use Zettaflare were a multiverse devouring fae God using an eldritch being as a magical heat sink just to survive it, and the most powerful version of the dragon Bahamut ever seen. By the way, a version of Bahamut from that same game used a version of flare that was only a fraction the power of Zettaflare, and it canonically reset the universe. Donald Fauntleroy Duck is the one and only mortal to have ever been able to cast Zettaflare, and did it with an ease that even gods could not manage.
I don't think enough people realize how absolutely mind meltingly insane this moment was. I can think of only 2 uses of zettaflare other than this, one is the absolute final boss of bravely default, and the other is primal bahamut. In the ff14 trailer terraflare is the attack used to absolutely devastate the world and usher in ARR, that's the fire they used to kill ff14 1.0. That was terraflare, in an event fight against him he used zettaflare which is canonically even stronger than terra by magnitudes. In other words Donald didn't fire a magical nuke, he fired a magical planet buster!
The fact that this looks like one of those Meme battles where ironically strong characters do some sicko mode shit but instead this is in an official game.
Yeah it feels like some Resident Evil game but the mod is Donald and it's just ridiculous but it's real. That's not a mod, that's Donald "Obliterate is an understatement and a first level achievement" Duck.

If you didn't know casting zettaflare literally costs your soul. Burning that spell costs your entire physical being. And Donald did it to save his friends. It speaks volumes.
without context this looks like the random dude hugs that girl from Sonic 06 as Sephiroth is abut to hit them but then Donald fucking duck pulls out the kamahama wave and kills serphiroth all while anime goofy and mickey mouse watch from a distance
Speaking of the random dude hugging the girl at first, WHAT THE HELL WAS HIS PLAN THERE? He didn't even tackle her out the way! They both would have been cleaved in half! Was he just lonely and suicidal or something?
"To understand just how strong a magic wielder has to be to cast Zettaflare, it's important to take a look at the spell's naming conventions. By and large, Square Enix uses Greek prefixes to quantify the power of different Flare spells. The first tier to take advantage of this metric is Megaflare, where the prefix mega- denotes a factor of power that comes with six zeros. This is followed by giga-, tera-, peta- and exa-, each increasing the spell's potency by three additional zeros, respectively. The last unit prefix in line boasting 21 zeros in total is zetta-, which means that the damage incurred by a single Zettaflare equals that of a septillion base Flare spells." -Donald Duck Is Final Fantasy's Strongest Magic User Also according to this article, the only other characters who are confirmed to be able to use this are Bahamut in Final Fantasy XIV and Airy from Bravely Default.
Goofy’s block set up the attack perfectly so he wouldn’t harm anything on Earth (if that’s where they’re at). If it was any lower he might’ve destroyed the entire planet.
@@cyrolocker1229 Yeah. I believe Exaflare is capable of wiping out planets. So yeah a solar system sounds more like it. Donald must’ve had precise control of to avoid doing any collateral damage with a spell that powerful. You know he’s the angriest creature around when you notice that’s all he used to charge it up. Rage, anger and motivation to destroy.
You gotta remember that this is Terranort, a man who has EASILY killed a bunch of keyblade masters and has the combined powers of Xehanort, Terra, and the powers of Darkness on his side. Not only did Goofy have the strength to block and COUNTER that hit, but he did so at fast as hell reaction speeds. On top of that, what in the hell is his shield made of to withstand that type of force??
I fucking love that Donald Duck is one of the few characters that can canonically use one of the strongest forms of black magic in all of Final Fantasy
In Final Fantasy lore, magic of that level is strong enough to merge entire worlds, including the souls of those living on it, and as such can probably also destroy them so it's fair to say Donald actually literally deleted the guy from existence
This just proves that Kingdom Heart character is on a whole another level a duck that uses Zettaflare and only faints and a guy that could withstand Zettaflare
I think he's actually the 2nd or 3rd strongest, depending on iteration and situation. Still, he did cast FUCKIN' ZETTAFLARE... And didn't turn to dust instantly.
@@MrJinglejanglejingle Donald’s strongest attack is 1 Billion times stronger then Bahamut ZERO’s strongest attack, the Exaflare. Exaflare has ridiculous damage and the ZERO multiplier on Bahamut makes him the strongest summoning in the Final Fantasy franchise. Bahamut is dealing the most damage in Final Fantasy History and Donald surpassed that by 1 Billion times and the only repercussion is that he passed out
"Extremely powerful" is the ultimate understatement. The only other person to use this spell needed some outside help to even be able to use it once, let alone multiple times. And while he can't spam it, as Goofy shows, this isn't the first time he used it. What nearly nine decades of the most explosive rage in cartoon history can achieve.
@@reyonXIIII'm think he was holding back too, ( his friends were there and he didn't want to blow them up) Cuz aren't -flare type spells a type of AOE attacks?
Why "out of all people?" Donald Duck is a badass who fought in the Army in WWII, punched out sharks and uprooted utility poles before. He's lifted up a SEQUOIA TREE which in real life weighs several million pounds. He's ALWAYS been a badass.
Donald Duck is glorious!! Filled with a rage that would stagger a god from his PTSD resulting from his horrific war service he should have self destructed long ago. Instead he channels that fury into the protection of his family and friends. He’s an inspiration to all of us that ever wore a uniform!!
I love how everybody is saying that Donald is the most powerful being in the universe for it,but nobody talks about how Mickey is just like “wow that’s kinda cool”
Another crazy fact of this video is the speed, and how crazier this feat becomes after realising it. KH is very clear on their lighspeed feats, as Sora and Riku block lightspeed beams, and presumably Terranort is faster than them, or at least at par with them And donald starts casting this thing after Goofy's parry. We see it in slowmo for storytelling's sake but this attack occurs in real time, and Donald gathers enough energy to fully load zettaflare in what? Less than 2 seconds? And then fires it so fast Terranort can't even block in time, as he is already inside his demise before he even starts to block, meaning that his zettaflare is faster than lightspeed. Simply terrifying
Well, this also shows that the LAWS OF PHYSICS THEMSELVES are different in kingdom hearts if that is the case, due to going faster than the speed of light not being possible to our knowledge, and the faster than light travel not causing a wormhole, black hole, white hole, or time travel, but I don't know what this power level would do irl, I'm not a god or Donald duck or Shaggy!
When you have nearly ninety years of the purest, most unbridled explosive rage and the shortest fuse in cartoon history, it's not too hard to imagine that the first time he used this was when he learned to finally hyper-focus and concentrate all of it. Tellah from FF4 is taking notes.
2 things to note here 1. when terranort just blitzed the hell out of several keyblade masters, goofy just casually daigo-parried him 2. judging from goofy and mickey's reaction, this isn't the first time donald has casted zeta flare. the question is, who or what was on the receiving end, and how did donald survived that one time

Something to add onto what everyone’s already said is that, with how absolutely devastating flare attacks are, Donald would’ve likely defeated Terranort with a much weaker flare such as Teraflare, even if it wasn’t concentrated into a beam
Flare attacks are naturally ‘area of effect’ attacks, like an explosion. Although there’s no canon scaling for how powerful a caster must be to concentrate flares, it’s likely that Donald must have great control to do something as unique as concentrating an explosion spell into a beam, never mind one as powerful as Zettaflare.
Now for the fun part, Zettaflare is 1,000,000,000x stronger than Teraflare, an attack that, due to its already amazing power, would’ve, again, likely defeated Terranort, at least temporarily.
But no, Donald was absolutely fucking SICK of this man, if the weight of a fragment of a paper clip could’ve beat him, Donald used the equivalent of 20 tanks to vaporise him instantly, knocking Donald out.
*Donald decided not to hold back the power of gods, even with the threat of losing consciousness, for no reason beyond sheer fucking hate and malice.*
He hurt his freinds that's more then enough reason for the rage duck to delete a man
Even more funny is that this was canonized as a trinity attack.
Also keep in mind tetrflare was only used by the strongest version of bahamut, bahamut zero, who is viewed and looked upon as an actual God wich means Donald would need to have the power of atleast 200 bahamut zeroes to use zettaflare normally let alone focus it into a beam which means that beam would've obliterated anything that it hit less than microseconds.
TL;DR: Donald duck used a magic beam with the power of over 200 gods to destroy a man until there was nothing left of him because he slightly breathed on his friends. And lived
Donald should be up with other insanely powerful characters like Superman and Goku, just saying.
@@andermousecheese5609 are you saying this is an abnormal reaction for Donald ever?
Donald straight up killed Terra here. Knocked him right into the game over animation, then blasted until the screen went pure white, then kept blasting until not even the ash from his corpse remained.
Not even a atom of that body survived
Then Donald kept firing until it went through the screen and into the real world
He got sent to the shadow realm.
Now he can play as Luigi.
Pretty sure he survived this right I havent finished the game but I think he lives so yeah there isnt suppose to be anything

There seem to be some misconception what Donald Duck is.
He is the kings court magician, aka, the one out of all the mages in the kingdom recognized for his talent and ability
Not the Court Healer or Court Priest etc.
Everytime you complained about him not healing you?
Its like asking a mechanic to perform surgery, sure he got some first aid knowledge but thats not what he is trained for.
This Zettaflare is divine realm magic, aka magic that would drain even "gods" in the FF/Disney/KH universe, the fact that donald have enough magic in him to perform this magic and not turn into dust is a marvel in its own, thst his only drawback is getting knocked out from having his MP/HP drained to cast this spell
At the beginning of KH1 he was weaker then Yen Sid and Merlin, but while Sora been losing his powers over and over Goofy and Donald havent, their skills, experience and training fighting all kinds of heartless and bosses is what drove donald to reach this power.
In terms of character class you could say he evolved from "Scholar" to a Sage because something you need to keep in mind is that over the years of FF classes, they are usually not linear, they usually have a range of options of how to customize the build
And in donalds case he simple took a few points towards healing because he saw it as necessary to be of service to his king, and more points to it later because Sora was being a weak clutz who needed the helping hand.
But at the core Donald is both personality wise and character wise a offensive aspect, who is trained to cast offensive magic foremost but forced to take support actions.

Wow, xD 50 Likes?
I was just explaining something but glad people enjoyed the information x3
Let's not forget, he's also a duck.
So the question I ask is if he is so powerful to cast Zettaflare why can't he heal me? Kinda sus of Donald. Also where on earth did you here that Donald is wise? And Goofy can walking into a building without tripping over nothing if you can believe that.
honestly, i think i had Goofy heal me more than Donald, he was more reliable at using consumable items
To be perfectly honest, I've never played any of the Kingdom Hearts games and I stumbled upon this video by accident. After reading through the story behind Zettaflare, this is probably one of the most powerful scenes (not talking about strength here) Square Enix has ever put into a game.
So according to what I've read, Donald used Zettaflare before on accident and it almost killed him (reason Goofy tells him not to since he knew the spell and the toll it takes). The fact that Donald purposely cast it again while channeling most (all?) of his mana into it is beyond brave.
He very well knew that the usage of this spell could / will potentially kill him but he completely disregarded his own life in full determination of saving his friends. You can see it in his eyes, his clenched fist and even in his (albeit kinda weird) voice. There was not a single second of hesitation, doubt or regret sacrificing himself to save his companions.
Well done Square Enix. This is how you introduce one of the most powerful beings into a franchise flawlessly.
The scary thing is, what if Goofy was scared not about the spell draining Donald's life force, but he was instead scared about the amount of collateral damage this could cause? Teraflare did so much damage so what would an unfocused Zettaflare would do when cast without enough precautions?
@@clonezero_RR This checks out as well because the -flare line are canonically explosions across all of final fantasy. However Donald exercises such high level control over the strongest spell in existence and focuses it into a beam faster than one of the fastest characters in the franchise.
GG.
The only issue is that Donald was already introduced, and giving him a god killing spell out of no where with no context is fucking stupid. You literally got more context for this moment than I did playing the game, and getting to that point.

This also implies Donald can use the other forms of flare with even less consequences than losing consciousness
Old video but as a kingdom hearts fan I have to add another factor to how impressive this feat is.
In kingdom hearts when you die your heart is released to move onto the final realm (unless it is by heartless, in that case it is captured) and hearts are largely regarded as unable to be destroyed, damaged sure, broken, but not outright destroyed. Basically a heart is always there. Why am I mentioning this?
*You don't see a heart get released during or after the beam*
Donald hit terranort so hard he didn't just kill him, he outright deleted his very existence to the point something thought unable to be destroyed was reduced to *nothing*. he overkilled him so much he straight up sent him to oblivion. And this is a series that said hearts have survived.
1.being ripped apart from the inside via memories (a key component of the heart in universe) being straight up ripped out of it.
2.being converted to data then that data being blown up.
3.Being poisoned by darkness and then pretty much ripped out of the body.
4.and on two separate occasions it has survived a keyblade beam (something that is pretty much regarded as a true piercing attack since it is designed to penetrate any magical defense and unlock any lock behind those defenses.)
And yet we don't see a heart here. It straight up got deleted.
I'm guessing there's a catch to using it though cause otherwise Donald would erase literally every villain in the series.
@@iamsinistar8971nah, let's just throw in the fact that Donald is the most powerful character in the multiverse and let that sink in.
Cap. You only release a heart if a heartless kills you. If a nobody, unversed or non-heartless Disney villain take you down, there's no heart above sora in the game over screen.
@@violent_sneezes5113 not quite, Kingdom hearts 3 retcons that to establish the final world is the afterlife considering it's stated it is 'the final stop', thus where you go even if your death is not via heartless, the final world is just the limbo your heart goes to before passing on. So despite not seeing a heart in kingdom hearts 1 and 2 when being beaten by certain enemies 3 retconed it to all deaths release a heart, just heartless in particular prevent you from moving on to the final world.
If the final world detail was not there then yes, heartless and key bearers would be largely the only ones able to rip out a heart in death.
@@iamsinistar8971 old post but considering the aftermath it is likely zetaflare is a desperation attack that also burns up the users own life force (supported by the aftermath and goofys reaction to seeing it being charged up) for Donald to use it since he immediately went down afterwards (it wasn't stated if he died but the giving off particles of light thing tends to occur on users who are actively dying such as sora in kingdom hearts 1)
Not gonna lie, it's kinda hard to take this seriously with Donald's voice.

So, you are telling me that this guy Is:
- A caring Uncle for three kinda annoying Boys, and a caring boyfriend for Daisy
- A wizard capable of using One of the strongest spells in the Final Fantasy Universe
- He works without pay for Scrooge day and Night because he needs to repay some million dollars of debths
- A Batman-like vigilante Who fights criminals and Avenges the wrong done to Donald by (usually) Gladstone and Scrooge
- Two different secret agent identities
No wonder he sleeps so much
Yep Donald Duck is the real deal. That Duck sure has quite a busy life. He is practically the closest thing those triplets have to father. He isn’t their father but he is their daddy. It would be cool if they knew about his secret identities. I’m sure Scrooge knows about his adventures as a black mage (especially since he’s in the game) and Paperinik. Knowing how Disney likes to expand on other universes I wonder if they’ll expand even further on this one.
@@Christopher_Woods actually, Scrooge doesn't know about Paperinik. The reason Is mainly that he would force him to only protect his Money using Donald's debths as an excuse
Only guy Scrooge McDuck is known to be jealous of.
Don't forget, he also was officially and canonically recruited to the United States Navy in World War 2
Well, I think caring Uncle and Boyfriend is stretching it a little depending on the iteration. In some comics Donald's and Daisy's relationship is pretty toxic. If we go by new Ducktales Donald tho, then yes.
I came here thinking it would be donald being epic with his Ducktales line "I am the storm". I found Donald being the most powerful mage in Square enix. I am content
Now you know why he called himself the storm because his storm is like no other. A Zettaflare is capable of possibly destroying a solar system.
Quite frightening when you think how powerful Donald Duck is. If his family knew about his abilities I don’t think Magica DeSpell would stand a chance.
@christopherwoods802 He's a badass physical fighter too.
Just wanna remind everyone that Donald didn't just KO Terranort. He deleted him. There was no trace of a body or even the ashes after getting hit with that attack. For context, when Lingering Will used his Ultima Cannon, Terranort survived.
That's a zettaflair it's the most powerful magic spell I know of in final fantasy and oy gods can give this power. Essentially Donald is more powerful than most final bosses from that franchise
What’s more, we never see a heart float away, neither Terra’s nor Xehanort’s, implying he didn’t just evaporate Terranort’s body, he evaporated both their hearts along with it

Fun fact: Donald is the third mage out of the entire Square Enix universes to be able to cast Zettaflare, often regarded as one of, if not the strongest spell to exist. This makes Donald Duck one of the strongest spellcasters to exist.

The other two entities to use Zettaflare were a multiverse devouring fae God using an eldritch being as a magical heat sink just to survive it, and the most powerful version of the dragon Bahamut ever seen.
By the way, a version of Bahamut from that same game used a version of flare that was only a fraction the power of Zettaflare, and it canonically reset the universe.

No it’s Quack of Gods, stars are all inf
I don't think enough people realize how absolutely mind meltingly insane this moment was. I can think of only 2 uses of zettaflare other than this, one is the absolute final boss of bravely default, and the other is primal bahamut. In the ff14 trailer terraflare is the attack used to absolutely devastate the world and usher in ARR, that's the fire they used to kill ff14 1.0. That was terraflare, in an event fight against him he used zettaflare which is canonically even stronger than terra by magnitudes. In other words Donald didn't fire a magical nuke, he fired a magical planet buster!
Disney acquiring rights to the star killer base’s laser, and this is what’s been done with it.

Unlock Final boss as a playable character: normal donald
Final boss when you fight him:
ZETTAFLAAAAARE!!!
Donald being piss off mad is a much greater danger than all of Final Fantasy's villains
The fact that this looks like one of those Meme battles where ironically strong characters do some sicko mode shit but instead this is in an official game.
Yeah it feels like some Resident Evil game but the mod is Donald and it's just ridiculous but it's real. That's not a mod, that's Donald "Obliterate is an understatement and a first level achievement" Duck.
Donald was so damn motivated, he changed the dialogue from Japanese to English...
That grunt which is the only part of dialogue you hear was the English grunt...
You thought lmao
What's the dialogue in Japanese?
@@pitioti it's just a different grunt, just not the one you hear in this video. 😂
You can make any normal, innocent character into a complete badass with the right scene and music
As someone who has never played the series- I un-ironically think this is epic and I actually uncontrollably smiled.

Yes, go deep into the lore. Let it consume you until every facet of your heart is drenched in convolusion and theming. EMBRACE THE LORE!
@@Mike_Dubo Sounds like a FNaF fan to me
@@astralslayer3962 Ours is an older fandom, burgeoning on the early days of the internet, where scattered forums, and basic websites was where we had to congregate to pass on our knowledge to those who dared to take the dive. The community itself thrived from mere bits of info that could be gleamed from Nomura's interviews. And the theorycrafting? Ha! Not even Matpat could match the time and energy of those, who spent their collective brainpower, just trying to figure out KH 2's secret ending.
(Sorry if this is starting to sound too cringey. Wanted to have a little fun being in a edgey character tone.)
@@Mike_Dubo lmao no worries this sounds epic
If you didn't know casting zettaflare literally costs your soul. Burning that spell costs your entire physical being. And Donald did it to save his friends. It speaks volumes.
Like all those missed heals aside -_-
And the reaction means Donald already use Zettaflare before, man talking about the battler become healer to force make sense here...
He survived dude Just got knocked out

Donald has unlocked a power strong enough to combat that of God. He is a true being of pure power. This song just expands his power even more

Nearly ninety years of his infamous fury
without context this looks like the random dude hugs that girl from Sonic 06 as Sephiroth is abut to hit them but then Donald fucking duck pulls out the kamahama wave and kills serphiroth all while anime goofy and mickey mouse watch from a distance
Speaking of the random dude hugging the girl at first, WHAT THE HELL WAS HIS PLAN THERE? He didn't even tackle her out the way! They both would have been cleaved in half! Was he just lonely and suicidal or something?
@@ShawndaPrawn Look, it KH. I've been playing this game since I was 12, and when a character hugs someone like that, they are expecting death
@usernames are stupid Ohhhhh, ok. That makes sense. I was wondering what his plan there was. Thanks for clearing it up.
@@ShawndaPrawn human meat shield was the plan apparently
Just about. Donald duck is apparently stronger than God
You forgot to include Donald literally saying "I am the storm" in Ducktales.
"To understand just how strong a magic wielder has to be to cast Zettaflare, it's important to take a look at the spell's naming conventions. By and large, Square Enix uses Greek prefixes to quantify the power of different Flare spells. The first tier to take advantage of this metric is Megaflare, where the prefix mega- denotes a factor of power that comes with six zeros. This is followed by giga-, tera-, peta- and exa-, each increasing the spell's potency by three additional zeros, respectively. The last unit prefix in line boasting 21 zeros in total is zetta-, which means that the damage incurred by a single Zettaflare equals that of a septillion base Flare spells." -Donald Duck Is Final Fantasy's Strongest Magic User
Also according to this article, the only other characters who are confirmed to be able to use this are Bahamut in Final Fantasy XIV and Airy from Bravely Default.
the fact that he hit this mid air with pinpoint accuracy is pretty cool too
Goofy’s block set up the attack perfectly so he wouldn’t harm anything on Earth (if that’s where they’re at). If it was any lower he might’ve destroyed the entire planet.
@@Christopher_Woods Forget planet he might have eradicated the entire solar system
@@cyrolocker1229 Yeah. I believe Exaflare is capable of wiping out planets. So yeah a solar system sounds more like it. Donald must’ve had precise control of to avoid doing any collateral damage with a spell that powerful.
You know he’s the angriest creature around when you notice that’s all he used to charge it up. Rage, anger and motivation to destroy.

Wait, Goofy's Parry was also pretty strong. It fully threw Terra Xehanort off guard
You gotta remember that this is Terranort, a man who has EASILY killed a bunch of keyblade masters and has the combined powers of Xehanort, Terra, and the powers of Darkness on his side.
Not only did Goofy have the strength to block and COUNTER that hit, but he did so at fast as hell reaction speeds. On top of that, what in the hell is his shield made of to withstand that type of force??

It's so surreal seeing Donald go full anime here. Kingdom Hearts truly is something else.
I fucking love that Donald Duck is one of the few characters that can canonically use one of the strongest forms of black magic in all of Final Fantasy
Donald just incinerated terranort, he’s just dust
He isn't even dust. He was erased from all of existence. Not even Atoms remain
cant believe a duck erased terranort from canon
Nah, not even atoms of him remain
In Final Fantasy lore, magic of that level is strong enough to merge entire worlds, including the souls of those living on it, and as such can probably also destroy them
so it's fair to say Donald actually literally deleted the guy from existence
@@timfalken3886 Duck uses the power or god and anime and kills an antagonist in one blow. 1975 colorised.
Only in Kingdom Hearts can you watch Donald Duck use God tier magic just absolutely obliterate a dude. That man is a beyond dead.
This just proves that Kingdom Heart character is on a whole another level a duck that uses Zettaflare and only faints and a guy that could withstand Zettaflare
Goofy: Donald, no!
Donald: *DONALD YES*
We need a Kingdom Hearts abridged by TFS

@@MrMpspest Terranort:I feel like we been here before have we been here before?
Its cannon that donald is the strongest mage in final fantasy history
I think he's actually the 2nd or 3rd strongest, depending on iteration and situation.
Still, he did cast FUCKIN' ZETTAFLARE... And didn't turn to dust instantly.
@@MrJinglejanglejingle Donald’s strongest attack is 1 Billion times stronger then Bahamut ZERO’s strongest attack, the Exaflare. Exaflare has ridiculous damage and the ZERO multiplier on Bahamut makes him the strongest summoning in the Final Fantasy franchise. Bahamut is dealing the most damage in Final Fantasy History and Donald surpassed that by 1 Billion times and the only repercussion is that he passed out

Donald didn't only cast an extremely powerful spell, but he did it in less than 5 seconds (considering the slow mo), absolute unit
"Extremely powerful" is the ultimate understatement. The only other person to use this spell needed some outside help to even be able to use it once, let alone multiple times. And while he can't spam it, as Goofy shows, this isn't the first time he used it.
What nearly nine decades of the most explosive rage in cartoon history can achieve.

@@Beetheber I never thought I would see all these names in the same sentence, let alone involved in a fight.
There is another.
The fact that Donald, out of all the people who could have done an epic scene. Did a pro gamer move, makes me give him my respect.
Why "out of all people?" Donald Duck is a badass who fought in the Army in WWII, punched out sharks and uprooted utility poles before. He's lifted up a SEQUOIA TREE which in real life weighs several million pounds. He's ALWAYS been a badass.
Top 10 characters who can easily defeat Sephiroth.
If that shit connects even god mode Sephiroth gonna meet his mother real quick.
I mean donald technically has defeated sephiroth back in kh2
@@EwenVRC you fight him alone in KH2 just sora.
@@sage798 you can, but you can choose to fight him with donald and goofy as well. In kh1 you can't tho

Donald Duck is glorious!! Filled with a rage that would stagger a god from his PTSD resulting from his horrific war service he should have self destructed long ago. Instead he channels that fury into the protection of his family and friends. He’s an inspiration to all of us that ever wore a uniform!!
Terranort: "Aww, that's a cute vo-OH SHIT"
Tfs is everywhere i swear
Donald: “Forgive me master…but I must go all out, just this once..”
I love how everybody is saying that Donald is the most powerful being in the universe for it,but nobody talks about how Mickey is just like “wow that’s kinda cool”
Never forget, Donald literally killed terra since he wouldn't have a body to go back to

I will never get over of kingdom hearts making these epic and tragic scenes done by goofy and donald its just great
Magica De Spell: You can't defeat me.
Sora: I know....but he can,
Donald:
Magica De Spell : begins sweating profusely.
Donald's tired of that old lady's bullcrap
It is entirely possible that Donald could’ve used this on Sepiroth when they first met.
He didn't wanted to end with Sephiroth badass image
Another crazy fact of this video is the speed, and how crazier this feat becomes after realising it.
KH is very clear on their lighspeed feats, as Sora and Riku block lightspeed beams, and presumably Terranort is faster than them, or at least at par with them
And donald starts casting this thing after Goofy's parry. We see it in slowmo for storytelling's sake but this attack occurs in real time, and Donald gathers enough energy to fully load zettaflare in what? Less than 2 seconds?
And then fires it so fast Terranort can't even block in time, as he is already inside his demise before he even starts to block, meaning that his zettaflare is faster than lightspeed.
Simply terrifying
Well, this also shows that the LAWS OF PHYSICS THEMSELVES are different in kingdom hearts if that is the case, due to going faster than the speed of light not being possible to our knowledge, and the faster than light travel not causing a wormhole, black hole, white hole, or time travel, but I don't know what this power level would do irl, I'm not a god or Donald duck or Shaggy!
I, I don’t think blocking would have even helped, try blocking the Tsar bomb with you arms
@@crispiestcrisp7451 man that ain’t no tsar bomb, that’s a whole ass Death Star laser my dude
When you have nearly ninety years of the purest, most unbridled explosive rage and the shortest fuse in cartoon history, it's not too hard to imagine that the first time he used this was when he learned to finally hyper-focus and concentrate all of it.
Tellah from FF4 is taking notes.
2 things to note here
1. when terranort just blitzed the hell out of several keyblade masters, goofy just casually daigo-parried him
2. judging from goofy and mickey's reaction, this isn't the first time donald has casted zeta flare. the question is, who or what was on the receiving end, and how did donald survived that one time
“You’re not worthy as my opponent, except for that thing…” (nods to Donald)
-Vergil probably-
“Foolishness Xehanort, is rushing in blind all you can do? ZETTAFLAAAARE!”
“I am the storm.” Is an actual quote from Donald in Ducktales (2017)
I love how this made donald the most OP mage in kingdom hearts and final fantasy
