Played Kingdom Hearts III on my Xbox One X, because of nerve damage to my hands I can't really hold a PlayStation 4 controller too well from pain, it's too small. Still played through every game, except for 0.2 sadly, don't worry haha. I have a specially modded one for my Xbox so I'm really glad they released it on both systems!! Anyways, I was watching my friend play this fight, already beat the game myself as he wasn't able to play the game on launch due to work. So he's finally on Xehanort's final fight, he thinks he's died and will have to start over. Then I was like "Nah man you can do it!" knowing full well that he didn't actually die and it's part of the cutscene hahaha. "...Just breathe for a bit and rest your eyes and fingers-..." mid fucking sentence the controller goes off with Donald and Goofy yelling!!! Genuinely fucking scared me and my friend half to death, not gonna lie I jumped back and screamed a little! 😂😂😂
10:55 11:25 the red and green decorations of the Ultima Blade and X Blade respectively are quite similar in style, i wonder if its just coincidence or a hint that the Ultima Blade might be on the same reign of power as the X Blade
11:40 The way Xehanort says "There is one sky, one destiny" rendered me speechless as it served as part of both Kairi's parting letter in KH2 and Sora's farewell in KH1 as well. Nice shoutout to the fact Xehanort is a denizen of Destiny Islands himself and made this empowering saying his own.
@kevin rianto Pretty sure thats simply because he had to play the part of the prophecy to create the X-Blade. As soon as that was finished his true nature was shown, that of a heart of light in its own sense. He's an asshole but its showing the morally grey area this game is going for with its villians..
Xehanort was never consumed by the dark. He truly was a Master without peer, even against Eraqus. As such, he could dive deep into the powers of darkness, without destroying himself. All others who tried became consumed, and faced thier end. Master Xehanort, meanwhile, remained in full control of both darkness and light
One thing I love about this whole boss fight, is that it really how much of bros Donald and Goofy are. They've been with you since the start of this journey, and now they're there for the end
MidnightLucario1 That really goes to show how much Donald And Goofy care for Sora. No matter how often they get on each other’s nerves, they stand and fight together through the very end.
After the way they kept building up the ‘three half pints’ thing it would’ve been a shame for them to be left out. It was fine that they weren’t involved in the clash of light vs darkness in the keyblade graveyard but it was great that they caught up in time for the final clash
@@albertoiturra6231 Can it cut? Yes. Does it have "blade" in the name? Yes. Have NPCs referred to each of them as "swords" in previous games? Yes. Have NPCs referred to Keyblade wielders as "swordsman" in previous games? Yes. So I'm gonna count it as a sword.

The LM link is an effective way at avoiding all dmg during that section.
I personally grew to really like Rutger Hauer's performance. Sure, some lines (Come, Kingdom Hearts!) could have been done better, but overall, I grew to see and hear him pretty well in the role. Granted, he's no Leonard Nimoy, but of course, anybody who was expecting Nimoy was gearing themselves up for disappointment.
Apples and oranges really. I can't quite imagine Nimoy pulling off some of Hauer's scenes towards the end where Xehanort relented his pursuit for a world purified of Darkness. Sucks that KH III couldn't have come in time before Nimoy's death, but Hauer does a decent enough job for what limited screen time Old man Xehanort has in this game.
I feel like hauer is more for kj3 sense xehanort is so close to his 80s so i feel like hus sanity is slowly sinking while in bbs he was in his 70s so he has started to execute his 10+ year plan so nimoy is good for bbs but i find hauer to be the better xehanort
You become a master by passing the mark of mastery exam. He failed it and lost his power. He got his power back, but he still would have to go through the official exam. Sort of how Naruto was only a genin, yet the most powerful in the village.
it's a matter of formality. like in BBS Terra was at a master's level of power, but not a master in terms of spirit. hence why he failed. Sora is similar in the sense that power wise, he is FAR AND AWAY master material. to the point where he would most definitely surpass all other masters before him given time. but he is still not mature enough to be a master. he falls for traps pretty easily and wanders into danger without much thought. but that in itself is also a strength. and personally, i wouldnt mind him never being a master. he is "the keyblade's chosen one" possibly in a literal sense unlike the rest being chosen for keys by others. and as far as i am aware the only other person to literally be chosen by the keyblade itself rather than being granted one is the Master of Masters as it's unknown if he himself had a master. so.... y;know.... there's that.... (unless the whole having two keyblade master level hearts in him is basically a more insane version of the keyblade ceremony bullshit, in which case god damn it Sora)
@@darkfiend76 Well, Riku did get his own eventually, so it's possible that's when he truly got his. Definitely fit him a lot better. And before you say anything about the Hollow Bastion incident, Riku's heart was stronger in that moment, so he was able to use it for a bit. But when Sora regained the strength of his heart thanks to his friend's, it went back to him. It's Truly HIS Keyblade.
TerranTXL lol that doesn’t make sense at all as it was pretty much explained that it’s the counterpart of KH and KH is the source of all light. Ultima weapon is just the highest form of man made keyblades so it makes sense that it’s the closest in power to the original x-keyblade. Well to be real it’s really in Sora case the kingdom key with a different keychain well what was explained in previous installments
I like the fact that you have to face the very final boss with Donald and Goofy. The fact that these three have been together since the very start up until the very end of xehanort's era.
Xehanort: I spent nearly 2 decades perfectly executing very small fragments of this plan. I traveled through time, I destroyed worlds, I killed some and possessed others, I tore my heart into 12 other fragments, and I screwed over the people I cared about. All part of one master plan to forge the ultimate weapon. The X-Blade!!! Sora: ... I had to gather several ingredients and give those ingredients to a fluffy creature to get this one. Xehanort: I SPENT HALF MY LIFE ON THIS PIECE OF SHIT, IT SHOULDN'T EVEN RIVAL THIS THING'S POWER, HOW THE ACTUAL SHITFUCK???
I feel Xehanort only knew of the X-Blade's power of opening Kingdom hearts and re-starting all worlds, therefore not comprehending the tremendous power it had in combat, thus he using the X-blade was weak, fragile and did almost no damage, being unable to understand its power. Look how powerful and damaging he is in his armored form and how he then feels weaker by giving up the Gazing Eye for the X-blade
Edit: I really thought I had read such an interview, but I can't really find it myself now. Original comment: Nomura has said in an interview that the story with Cloud and Sephiroth is finished, so the final battle with Sephiroth was already in Kingdom Hearts II.
It's crazy to think Xehanort probably lost the war because he never accounted for Sora. The boy was never supposed to have the Keyblade, and Xehanort couldn't prepare for him.
This is the best incarnation of the Ultima weapon, & on some real shit it’s better than Way to Dawn. This game has flaws.. but the Ultima weapon was hands down one of the best parts.
Gramo Chopin it’s always worst the 1st time lol. Think back to KH1 & 2. But yea the frozen mini game is the worst part for me 🤢. Come on now, then the loading screens just to get back to Elsa to start it again 🤮. I didn’t mind The Omega M Boss
I love the detail of the Ultima Weapon in KH3 having three blades along the shaft, to match the two blades from KH2's version, and the single blade present in KH1's version.
Xehanort: THIS IS IT SORA, I'VE PUT ALL OF MY ENERGY INTO THIS ATTACK SO SAY GOODBYE ALONG WITH THE REST OF YOUR PATHETIC WORLD Sora: my friends Xehanort 😨... no Sora: are my Xehanort: no no no Sora: POWER!!! *fires friendship beam* Xehanort: no no no no no NOOOO!!!
There are 7 1. Pirates of the Caribbean go-to exile island grab it from the chest 2. Complete all those pudding guys minigames(they are not hard at all take ur time) 3.sled down that snowfall on frozen.(I used a video tbh I couldn't find the last one) 4. Postcard (save ur game with one post card , spam the mail keep loading if u don't get one you eventually will. 5. Find the emblems(someone literally posted all the emblems 2 days ago on his page just look it up.) 6. Go back to the final world where all the soras are after u beat the game and open the chest(check the keyblades war battlefield for the world) 7. Beat the gummiship boss on the last planet. (Again take ur time and go buy the lvl 4 gummiship. Would also be useful if you unlocked the cure special weapon.(use the TH-cam guide for this one too hard to explain but very simple
16:50 I wish they added an action command to make it seem like you can block his attack but make it so you inevitably die anyways.. would’ve added to the game misleading you to think you died.
This fight had it all. It was beautiful, epic, music was fantastic, boss was amazing, Sora was a complete bad ass, challenging yet not too hard, sound effects was great. Definitely worth the 13 year wait. The 17 year old me would've been proud of this moment. (I'm now 30 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣) Need critical mode tho!!!!
What a horribly low standards - this fight had NOTHING original going on for it. Combat mechanics-wise or even Boss' attack pattern-wise. In terms of epicness and craziness-- where is Xehanort's Giant form? KH1 and 2 had them. Also, Xehanort's moveset with his X-Blade was PATHETIC and boring. His Data battle in the DLC is significantly better (and harder).
Overall I liked this boss it was challenging and fun my only problem is Sora and Xehanort didn't have a pre battle chat the same way Sora had with both Ansem and Xemnas but at the same time I can tell he didn't need to I can see in his expressions that in this fight Sora absolutely hated Xehanort for what he did.
@@kartikayysola I think that's the game's main problem. Everything that had to happen, already happend in previous games. All that was left was the clash betwen the 7 lights and 13 darknesses. But the game take years to get there.
@@daanamelink7148 I also find it satisfying because they've been with you from the start, and shows no matter what, even if they disobey orders from His Majesty or if Sora is made of Data, they have Sora's... no, our backs. They've been with us for years, and the fact they help out here made me tear up.
Sora: I am the Bone of my Sword Steel is within my Flesh as Fire is within my Heart I have forged over a countless bonds Unknown to the Seekers Nor known to the Guardians I have withstood pain to forge these countless connections Yet these hands hold nothing And as I pray Fear me oh Beast of Humanity UNLIMITED KEYBLADE WORKS!
Y'know, I noticed that the Ultima Weapon's filigree has the same spanglies on it as the X-Blade's filigree. And while the X-Blade uses a golden light, the Ultima Weapon's attacks use platinum light.
I love kingdom hearts with all my passion but it felt like it was rushed as soon as you rescue Aqua. I was hoping there would be more worlds. Pirates of the Caribbean was a blast though, and the voice actor for Jack Sparrow was a billion times better than in the previous kingdom hearts. In fact all the voice actors were better save for Xehanort, I could tell his voice was off.
Love the series too, but thought this game was terrible. You go to a bunch of worlds and nothing happens but random organization members pop and say something cryptic. Then the plot is shoved into the last few hours after you rescue Aqua
I felt that the Caribbean world and San fransyoko are way too rushed, in the Caribbean world you just chase a ship, then go to look for another ship to use, use that ship to fight two bosses (the heartless boats and the kraken) then the final boss. Dont get me wrong I love this game, especially the final battle but they could have added 10 to 20 hours of game play easily by making these two worlds longer (like the others)
What’s funny is that if you manage to get Ultima weapons shotlock off on the first phase (with all the clones) you’ll one shot it lmao (depends on level probably but if you grinded for Ultima weapon you’re prob a high level)
@@zanehyperdrive1169 I wasn't even trying to grind I was mainly farming for materials and getting the trophy for destroying 200 ships in Carribean which by the way nets a lot of experience for mid tier.
@@evancuratolo6734 I've come to final fight with nanogear, idk but for me the nanogear is the best keyblade (except ultima, of course) just came the moment to stop guarding/dodging and actually start attacking, and I trashed Xehanort, well until came the rage form part, that's when it's my time to get trashed, for the first time, and second too, after that I've guessed what I needed to do in order to progress, then came the fucking beams part, long story short, I died more than 7 times to finally beat him
Omg I just noticed a nice little story detail happening in the final battle, back in kh1 you had to save Donald and Goofy from Ansem. They do the same thing after the Game Over fake out, I love that sweet little detail, like a huge favor being repaid
the only thing I hate about getting the ultima weapon is that ALL fights become easy, and u cant finish your combos without killing something beforehand or you kill so fast it just triggers some in game cinematic or situation I hope there's a NG+ and it has a boss that's tanky af and can take more hits so I could enjoy seeing the ultima weapon go ham
I like to play like a mage. It makes things more challenging. Also: when you get Ultima everything has been defeated. You just get it for those special effects and troll every boss in the game. Magic does get pretty buff too with this weapon. I personnally never bother to unlock it and just watch it on TH-cam. I just can't handle grinding, it makes me hate the game. Now if you excuse me I am going to find a video where they use Shotlock on a boss to see how much damage it does.
The X-Blade is Kingdom Hearts's Counterpart, the "Ultimate Weapon" While Ultima Weapon is the most powerful keyblade ever created by mankind. If u could use X-Blade it would be like 50 atk and 50 magic.
im a bit on the fence with his armored form fights, but his final fight near Kingdom Hearts is fucking amazing. i fucking love how he uses KH just to rip away your whole light and turn you into a perma-rageform, and once you get it back, HE himself turns into a rage form with all his 13 selves.
"The two final pieces of the match were in place. A boy who has gone through a tremendous ordeal of losing his only love. Yet, he was filled with determination to keep moving forward even after he saw his loved one strike down right in front of him. The one who strike Kairi was going through the plan of restoring "Kingdom Hearts" as it was coming to fortition. Now as they were about to clash...Who is the true mastermind?"
I saw in one video with this same subject that if you hit Xehanort hard and fast enough when he gets down to 3 bars left, you can outright skip the Rage Mode portion of the fight.
Using a different keyblade is so anticlimactic in the cutscenes But using the Normal, Ultima, or Union X Keyblades makes it look cool, more sense, and Climactic
I know Kingdom Hearts (the moon) is to be considered a sort of hyper-magical artifact, being the heart of existence and such, used against you in combat. But I've had rather preferred it to be the real final world, the kingdom of all hearts after all; sort of how mystical some Final Fantasy final dungeons are, such as IX's or X's. Come to think of it, End of the World kinda did that.
I think it would have been a lot more epic if this was a solo fight between Sora and Xehanort or if all of the warriors participated, they had more reasons to go against Xehanort than Donald and Goofy.
@@puterboy2 its more fitting with donald and goofy being in the final battle as from the very beginning once you gained the keyblade, they were with you through the very end so its bittersweet for them to be with you to the final battle
Even though he was built up as this great villain it still baffles me that in BBS he didnt know what would happen at the end of. Keyblade war, yet here he knows what happens at the end and what kingdom hearts will do. So...why would he do this knowing what would happen. Yes a purge and new light and all but so he became a villain to be a hero. I love this game series but for this 3 game which in my default overhyped for myself seems...short and rather...idk what the word is but isn't good. And that is tough to say for me. Visually feels like it could be a pixar movie which they should be the ones to make a movie if ever going to. But other than that it is still a good game just sadly short. Which I understand others built it up but idk was thinking maybe could be more. Guess have to wait for the others for a climatic ending. Still good to see the game series continue though
@@averageganyusimp right what is it with dialogue in fights isn't the whole point to talk first to get it out then fight? Seriously what's up with that.
You would expect the Xblade to win despite the wieldee but I guess Sora is way too ex machina to succumb to the ultimate key, counterpart to a a god like entity
and you mean by all out you mean getting to hit him once with the x-blade considering the x-blade is the strongest keyblade way more so than the ultima keyblade
You could say that but I was thinking more like him being like he was in his BBS boss battle and you get to strike him with it and deal immense damage with it. I bet the transformation would be like either a giant normal sword or a minigun.

Original comment: Nomura has said in an interview that the story with Cloud and Sephiroth is finished, so the final battle with Sephiroth was already in Kingdom Hearts II.
André de Souza do Vale
You sure hes not in the main game?
@@johnnyscifi nope he is not dude, i'm sorry
It's crazy to think Xehanort probably lost the war because he never accounted for Sora. The boy was never supposed to have the Keyblade, and Xehanort couldn't prepare for him.
What’s crazy is this was pointed out to him in Dream drop distance and he still underestimated Sora a third time
Your defense is through the roof. He barely even damages you...
Plot twist, he's actually on beginner mode
Beginner mode level 99 LMAOOOOWWWWW
Even the Ultima weapon takes on the Red/White/Black theme
And that I approve
This is the best incarnation of the Ultima weapon, & on some real shit it’s better than Way to Dawn. This game has flaws.. but the Ultima weapon was hands down one of the best parts.
I thought that was interesting, too. Red and silver filigree rather than blue and gold.
@@-Anonymous-. Just a pain to get . I spent over 11 hours to get it . Mini games were so annoying. It was overall the most tedious ultima hunt.
Gramo Chopin it’s always worst the 1st time lol. Think back to KH1 & 2. But yea the frozen mini game is the worst part for me 🤢. Come on now, then the loading screens just to get back to Elsa to start it again 🤮. I didn’t mind The Omega M Boss
I liike the part where he cranks that Soulja Boy and then reality rotates 90 degrees
Soulja Boy bout to sue square for this
I love the detail of the Ultima Weapon in KH3 having three blades along the shaft, to match the two blades from KH2's version, and the single blade present in KH1's version.
Xehanort: THIS IS IT SORA, I'VE PUT ALL OF MY ENERGY INTO THIS ATTACK SO SAY GOODBYE ALONG WITH THE REST OF YOUR PATHETIC WORLD
Sora: my friends
Xehanort 😨... no
Sora: are my
Xehanort: no no no
Sora: POWER!!! *fires friendship beam*
Xehanort: no no no no no NOOOO!!!
Kh1=You get to fight a Demon
Kh2=You get to fight an Angel
Kh3=You get to fight a God
Are you serious
In kh2 we where fighting to a ZEBRA MAN
and now in kh3 69 YEARS OLD MAN WITH HIS FUC**** STICK

Ultima Weapon looks amazing
i like all the ultima wrapons but this one is my favorite
I'm still concerned about sora's parents what happened to them in kh1
SN00Z3 KVNG I’m more concerned about them than the actual series lol
My theory is that they died on destiny islands after the darkside attack........
That or sora and riku forgot about them
@@arxei2436 Sora doesn't seem to give a shit about em
@@cekan14 Donald and Goofy are Sora's parents now
So is the Ultimate Weapon basically a mini version of the X - Blade.
Is the Ultima Weapon this easy to get in this game? It usually takes longer to get in the previous installments
@@LockeLynx its extremely hard lmao
@LockeLynx be prepared to lose your mind often when trying to get the orichalum+s
Its not extremely hard at all
There are 7
1. Pirates of the Caribbean go-to exile island grab it from the chest
2. Complete all those pudding guys minigames(they are not hard at all take ur time)
3.sled down that snowfall on frozen.(I used a video tbh I couldn't find the last one)
4. Postcard (save ur game with one post card , spam the mail keep loading if u don't get one you eventually will.
5. Find the emblems(someone literally posted all the emblems 2 days ago on his page just look it up.)
6. Go back to the final world where all the soras are after u beat the game and open the chest(check the keyblades war battlefield for the world)
7. Beat the gummiship boss on the last planet. (Again take ur time and go buy the lvl 4 gummiship. Would also be useful if you unlocked the cure special weapon.(use the TH-cam guide for this one too hard to explain but very simple
16:50 I wish they added an action command to make it seem like you can block his attack but make it so you inevitably die anyways.. would’ve added to the game misleading you to think you died.
This fight had it all. It was beautiful, epic, music was fantastic, boss was amazing, Sora was a complete bad ass, challenging yet not too hard, sound effects was great. Definitely worth the 13 year wait. The 17 year old me would've been proud of this moment. (I'm now 30 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣) Need critical mode tho!!!!
Theres a rumor saying that there will be a dlc for it, maybe more stories
Glitchy Stone if there is dlc, I want more keyblades, more bosses, more playable characters, ya know?
@@Twocoolman115 hell yes!!
@@Twocoolman115 just make a final mix for a 10 dollar add on lmao
What a horribly low standards - this fight had NOTHING original going on for it. Combat mechanics-wise or even Boss' attack pattern-wise.
In terms of epicness and craziness-- where is Xehanort's Giant form? KH1 and 2 had them.
Also, Xehanort's moveset with his X-Blade was PATHETIC and boring.
His Data battle in the DLC is significantly better (and harder).
Overall I liked this boss it was challenging and fun my only problem is Sora and Xehanort didn't have a pre battle chat the same way Sora had with both Ansem and Xemnas but at the same time I can tell he didn't need to I can see in his expressions that in this fight Sora absolutely hated Xehanort for what he did.
Of course. The words that needed to be said have been said, time to duke it out.
@@kartikayysola I think that's the game's main problem. Everything that had to happen, already happend in previous games. All that was left was the clash betwen the 7 lights and 13 darknesses. But the game take years to get there.
Not gonna lie, Xehanort may have been hiding it, but he might have pissed himself when he saw Sora with the Ultima Weapon.
That last ray beam struggle needs an Asura's Wrath style QTE moment. . . .
Those were so satisfying
*Mashes Y like a mad man*
It's actually so cool and fitting that Donald and Goofy join you in the final battle.
No. Sora should have faced Xehanort alone to prove that he can make it on his own.
@@puterboy2 Yeah because doing everything by yourself is totally part of the message Kingdom Hearts is trying to bring us...
@@daanamelink7148 I also find it satisfying because they've been with you from the start, and shows no matter what, even if they disobey orders from His Majesty or if Sora is made of Data, they have Sora's... no, our backs. They've been with us for years, and the fact they help out here made me tear up.
Cut like a butter.
If there is new game plus with carried over ultima, that would be op
I hope there is new game + update with higher difficulty option
Maybe. And even though the ultima weapon is op, what the bosses can do are usually more so. Especially the organization members .
We've got it now! Just have to upgrade the keyblade.
Ultima weapon was made to destroy Kingdom Hearts if it were darkness
I find the final part a very epic moment cause even when Sora thinks he’s alone his friends are always there with him and they’ll always be there
16:59 *BUT IT REFUSED!*
UNDERTALE!
You know it feels like When he Talks about connections He's referring to his friends in this world and the friends His past self lost
Sora:
I am the Bone of my Sword
Steel is within my Flesh as Fire is within my Heart
I have forged over a countless bonds
Unknown to the Seekers
Nor known to the Guardians
I have withstood pain to forge these countless connections
Yet these hands hold nothing
And as I pray
Fear me oh Beast of Humanity
UNLIMITED KEYBLADE WORKS!
This whole fight hits differently now.
Xehanort really thought to himself, "lemme turn this dude into his rage form, that'll go well."
I feel like nothing beats that tasty final fight from kh2
This man goofy said “let’s get it” lmao
I could've swore on my playthrough donald was the one who said it... Guess I remembered wrong lol
Redgle lmao they both say it i heard it again later in the frozen world XD
Y'know, I noticed that the Ultima Weapon's filigree has the same spanglies on it as the X-Blade's filigree. And while the X-Blade uses a golden light, the Ultima Weapon's attacks use platinum light.
If you have the Ultima keyblade, the very first boss fight where you fight all 13 of his selfs, just shot lock it. They are all dead in one shot lmao
Lol no joke yep
I love kingdom hearts with all my passion but it felt like it was rushed as soon as you rescue Aqua.
I was hoping there would be more worlds. Pirates of the Caribbean was a blast though, and the voice actor for Jack Sparrow was a billion times better than in the previous kingdom hearts. In fact all the voice actors were better save for Xehanort, I could tell his voice was off.
Love the series too, but thought this game was terrible. You go to a bunch of worlds and nothing happens but random organization members pop and say something cryptic. Then the plot is shoved into the last few hours after you rescue Aqua
Yea tbh I was kinda dissatisfied like when roxas came in they definitely shoudda let us play as him
I felt that the Caribbean world and San fransyoko are way too rushed, in the Caribbean world you just chase a ship, then go to look for another ship to use, use that ship to fight two bosses (the heartless boats and the kraken) then the final boss.
Dont get me wrong I love this game, especially the final battle but they could have added 10 to 20 hours of game play easily by making these two worlds longer (like the others)
@@yousseftarek992 San Fransokyo map seemed too small while the Pirates one was expansive but didn't properly utilize the islands.
Vanitas and Sora sounded better previously, tbh.
Grinding for it right now.
Jayy_ThaWise got it already
What’s funny is that if you manage to get Ultima weapons shotlock off on the first phase (with all the clones) you’ll one shot it lmao (depends on level probably but if you grinded for Ultima weapon you’re prob a high level)
I was level 56 and when I one shot the first phase I basically thought "yeah...that kinda ruined it"
@@ninja0329 well you were like 12 levels above the recommended level so that would've ruined it anyway
@@zanehyperdrive1169 I wasn't even trying to grind I was mainly farming for materials and getting the trophy for destroying 200 ships in Carribean which by the way nets a lot of experience for mid tier.
To me, this is perfect. The X-blade verses the Ultima Weapon. I wouldn’t have it any other way for the final battle. 😊
I looked like a fucking goober going in the the final boss with favorite deputy
@@evancuratolo6734 I've come to final fight with nanogear, idk but for me the nanogear is the best keyblade (except ultima, of course) just came the moment to stop guarding/dodging and actually start attacking, and I trashed Xehanort, well until came the rage form part, that's when it's my time to get trashed, for the first time, and second too, after that I've guessed what I needed to do in order to progress, then came the fucking beams part, long story short, I died more than 7 times to finally beat him
"All worlds begin in darkness and all so end."
All these worlds appeared in the Dark Seeker Saga, which has ended.
This fight was just amazing I enjoyed every second of it.
Omg I just noticed a nice little story detail happening in the final battle, back in kh1 you had to save Donald and Goofy from Ansem. They do the same thing after the Game Over fake out, I love that sweet little detail, like a huge favor being repaid
the only thing I hate about getting the ultima weapon is that ALL fights become easy, and u cant finish your combos without killing something beforehand or you kill so fast it just triggers some in game cinematic or situation
I hope there's a NG+ and it has a boss that's tanky af and can take more hits so I could enjoy seeing the ultima weapon go ham
it's not called the Ultima weapon for nothing best thing you could do is go the mage route
@@Artistofprocedure true
I like to play like a mage. It makes things more challenging. Also: when you get Ultima everything has been defeated. You just get it for those special effects and troll every boss in the game. Magic does get pretty buff too with this weapon. I personnally never bother to unlock it and just watch it on TH-cam. I just can't handle grinding, it makes me hate the game. Now if you excuse me I am going to find a video where they use Shotlock on a boss to see how much damage it does.
You can stop leveling up so you don’t get to strong ? Maybe you won’t kill the enemies
It's not like the game was fucking easy even on proud anyway lol
This key blade right here is just the best keyblade out of all the ones you get ngl
The old master of darkness VS the new master of light
As Fred puts it, “a classic clash”
So basically Alpha (X-blade) V.S. Omega (Ultima Weapon)?
The X-Blade is Kingdom Hearts's Counterpart, the "Ultimate Weapon" While Ultima Weapon is the most powerful keyblade ever created by mankind. If u could use X-Blade it would be like 50 atk and 50 magic.
@@kaz7886 Oh....'kay, then? Why are you telling me this?
@@aguywithgames3135 Idk, just told you so you know 😂
Btw is it possible to obtain it before the final boss?
@@kaz7886 I think it's related to collecting 1000 synthesis materials, so I would assume yes. Not like you're locked in Scala.
im a bit on the fence with his armored form fights, but his final fight near Kingdom Hearts is fucking amazing.
i fucking love how he uses KH just to rip away your whole light and turn you into a perma-rageform, and once you get it back, HE himself turns into a rage form with all his 13 selves.
did anyone noticed yet? when sora's in underwater, look at the background. Does it remind you of daybreak town clock tower?
Yes, I notice it too. Maybe after keyblade war Daybreak town ruins was made to be a base for Scala ad caelum.
michaelbooster2 it is
Armored Xehanort's Gravity manipulation makes me remind of Pucci's C-Moon from Stone Ocean
"The two final pieces of the match were in place. A boy who has gone through a tremendous ordeal of losing his only love. Yet, he was filled with determination to keep moving forward even after he saw his loved one strike down right in front of him. The one who strike Kairi was going through the plan of restoring "Kingdom Hearts" as it was coming to fortition. Now as they were about to clash...Who is the true mastermind?"
Wow it's a really sexy final form 2.0
The key blade itself is fucking crisp. The best out of all the ultimas
Unlimited keyblade works
That music from 10:32 to 11:06 is low-key godtier, and I'm not seeing anyone talking about it!
Light Kikib exactly!
I'm still tryna find the name
That sword is fkn beast!! I'm definitely going for all completed plus THAT before main boss... Great video!
Meanwhile in Kingdom Hearts 3, Xehanort fucking choke slams Sora into the floor and he just hops up like it’s nothing
Xehanort: _"In the end there can be only one ultimate key"_
Ok bye bye old man
Also love how Xehanort teleports around from Keyholes.
You know it's ironic when xemnas and ansem's stationary fazes were harder the the entire xeanort fight
That fake Game Over, lol.
It seems Numora has been taking notes from Yoko taro and Kojima. XD
Also Donald and Goofy screaming from the controller on PS4
@@Darkyan97 That small detail made me teary eyed!
Martin Papos so glad I got it on PS4 and not Xbox One. That detail was amazing!
UNDERTALE
To actually think that the ultimate weapon for the last game of the Trilogy would be an actual Blade, amazing
I saw in one video with this same subject that if you hit Xehanort hard and fast enough when he gets down to 3 bars left, you can outright skip the Rage Mode portion of the fight.
Using a different keyblade is so anticlimactic in the cutscenes
But using the Normal, Ultima, or Union X Keyblades makes it look cool, more sense, and Climactic
16:52 Going into a public restroom
17:10 Some dude saves the day and sprays Febreze.
Underrated
I know Kingdom Hearts (the moon) is to be considered a sort of hyper-magical artifact, being the heart of existence and such, used against you in combat. But I've had rather preferred it to be the real final world, the kingdom of all hearts after all; sort of how mystical some Final Fantasy final dungeons are, such as IX's or X's. Come to think of it, End of the World kinda did that.
I love how the ultima weapon is so glittery especially on the red parts of the blade same with the x blade
Holy crap its OP~
16:51 on ps4 when you are pressing X to revive sora you can hear Donald and goofy calling out for sora on the controller.
I wish this fight had been as epic as the fight against Xemnas was in KH2.
I mean it still is, personally it catches you off guard many times and it makes it bittersweet as donald and goofy are with you
When I delivered the final blow, I actually shouted "FOR KAIRI!!!"
Best anime fight of 2019
And I thought Anti-Aqua was invincible.
Master xehanorts using lingering will, orchestral.
Ultima chain vs x-blade what an epic battle
I'm on the fence about xehanorts new English voice.
Now that is the power of friendship
This is definitely a great battle, I loved all of this.
I think it would have been a lot more epic if this was a solo fight between Sora and Xehanort or if all of the warriors participated, they had more reasons to go against Xehanort than Donald and Goofy.
@@puterboy2 its more fitting with donald and goofy being in the final battle as from the very beginning once you gained the keyblade, they were with you through the very end so its bittersweet for them to be with you to the final battle
17:40 That bass tho!! (When you have headphones on) 😍😍
It my first time to able defeat the final boss without replying it
Was it ever explained how Donald and Goofy reached the top of the tower? Did they parkour their way up there offscreen?
*POWER OF FRIENDSHIP!*
Jordi Rodríguez at its finest
**POWER OF LOVE**
Glitchy Stone that too
@@TheJaredPunch yee
I accidentally beat this guy 3 times cause I skipped the cutscenes and didn't know I finished the game so I restarted
Scala Ad Caelum!!!
The end of this fight will always make me cry like a little girl, Donald and goofy have been there thru it all man.
Even though he was built up as this great villain it still baffles me that in BBS he didnt know what would happen at the end of. Keyblade war, yet here he knows what happens at the end and what kingdom hearts will do. So...why would he do this knowing what would happen. Yes a purge and new light and all but so he became a villain to be a hero. I love this game series but for this 3 game which in my default overhyped for myself seems...short and rather...idk what the word is but isn't good. And that is tough to say for me. Visually feels like it could be a pixar movie which they should be the ones to make a movie if ever going to. But other than that it is still a good game just sadly short. Which I understand others built it up but idk was thinking maybe could be more. Guess have to wait for the others for a climatic ending. Still good to see the game series continue though
Even he is great but he still got beaten by Talk No Jutsu
@@averageganyusimp right what is it with dialogue in fights isn't the whole point to talk first to get it out then fight? Seriously what's up with that.
Imagine Noctis's look on his face when he sees this. He'd probably be so pissed that Sora was like copying his moves.
Ultima blade vs x blade who will win?
You would expect the Xblade to win despite the wieldee but I guess Sora is way too ex machina to succumb to the ultimate key, counterpart to a a god like entity
Most epic and badass fight ever! Kaash na ho! Kaash na ho!
Man I wish halfway through the final battle, you manage to steal the x-blade off of Xehanort and just go all out on him with it.
the one thing i miss about reaction commands probably would have done that in kh2 boss style
and you mean by all out you mean getting to hit him once with the x-blade considering the x-blade is the strongest keyblade way more so than the ultima keyblade
You could say that but I was thinking more like him being like he was in his BBS boss battle and you get to strike him with it and deal immense damage with it. I bet the transformation would be like either a giant normal sword or a minigun.
That little chime it plays when you defeat a boss sounds like dearly beloved and every time I hear it i think "how cool would it have been if one of the old versions of db played during trinity?"
Before watching the video, I know Xehanort screamed, "rape!"
its not rape he signed up for it...that goes out to all the brave frontier players in regards of maxwell
