The Entire Story of Kingdom Hearts Union Cross [KHUx] Explained

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ค. 2021
  • The story began in 2013 with Kingdom Hearts Chi. The game then evolved to Unchained Chi, and finally Union Cross, with Back Cover providing additional context from a different perspective. And now that story is told.
    Allow me to explain it to you.
    I highly recommend watching my Explainer video from 2020 before watching this one: • The FULL Story of King...
    I race through a lot of the early moments that I have explained many times before in order to focus more on the ending and the parts I have not covered as thoroughly so far, and that first summary video will get you up to speed with a lot of the smaller details, while this video is definitely more about the bigger picture and the future of the series.
    Thankyou very much, I hope you enjoy!

      Hello Damo279. I just wanted to give my appreciation to you for making this video. I've seen your others videos on KH X, KH Unchained, KH Back Cover, and KH Union X. Thanks to you I got a full understanding of the story for these games now and now I'm hyped for KH4 or another prequel for Kingdom Hearts. I wanna say once again thank you for making this video I've really enjoyed it :). Can't wait for more Dark Road from you and much more from you. :)

      Thank you so much for putting this video together. Kingdom Hearts has been a part of life since I was 8. My love of the series, admittedly, borders on autistic levels of obsession. I know the lore inside and out in regards to what’s contained within all the other games, and the implications of certain events and actions; both toward the past and into the future of the series but KHX alluded me. Though not for lack of trying. 😄
      So, thank you again for putting this together.

    This video helped challenge something that I took for granted, which was that it seemed like for Master Ava's task of bringing the Dandelions into a new world to help keep light alive, the execution of that was pretty weak- Instead of a shiny new world, they were trapped in simply a dream-data duplicate. There was no real light, only digital copies of worlds. Then, when they escaped, only one Dandelion actually helped build the new world, Ephemer (building Scala ad Caelum), while the other Dandelions were trapped in the data world or sent elsewhere in time and space.
    But I had forgot something. The Master of Masters was DISHONEST about what his true goals were. He never wanted to rebuild a new world with the Union Leaders, or not primarily. He was goading the remaining Darknesses into the data world as a trap and self-destructing it. What was the sacrifice of a few hundred more children when thousands had already killd each other in battles?- And they wouldn't even lose their hearts, just be put to sleep.
    I thought it odd that this grand plan for a new world of light after the end would be presumedly based in data technology housed in a tower that would go through the end of the world, and find itself ruined, and suspended upside down submerged in water. But that was the point. The data world was MEANT to collapse, taking the Darkness with it.
    Hoo... boy... yikes...

      Based the knowledge that the dandelions that went to sleep. That would explain the spirits and dream eaters that exist in DDD. My headcannon is that the stronger a heart is, the stronger the charithy's new form with the keyblade wielder would become. It makes sense that Sora and Riku can tame and collect spirits because they housed hearts.

Of course parallels might exist but honestly being "nice kid" is kinda general aspect that it doesn't really add anything to Xehanort's character. The problem with Xehanort is just how his character is presented and no matter what author's intention was, if execution does not work, incarnation aspect is just planted over aspect.
      You can remove reincarnation and both X and player are just two differing people connected in roundabout way. Xehanort's history or decisions do not really carry over onto his acting in such a believable way that it makes X's story as some tragic hero compelling.
      And honestly, player's trick of being possessed is not really equal to Xehanort's exploits. Parallels are too shaky.

    I both love and hate this game, it’s such a beautiful piece of fiction but at the same time there was really no need to make the KH plot more convoluted than it already was. Now that reincarnation is a thing in this universe, I have a bad feeling what implications this has for our current day characters and I really hope it’ll just be a thematic thing within X and not bleed into the current ongoing plot. I would hate for Sora to be a reincarnated Ephemer or whatever as his whole thing is that he’s not a Chosen One. He became the main protagonist by circumstance and his own willpower. It would just lessen Sora’s agency if he was destined to be a great keyblade wielder regardless of his actions through the entire franchise so far.

      I agree. Everything after KH3 seemed to try its hardest to make Xehanort a hero, and it's such a waste of the character. It's good to know a bit of his past with Eraqus, but making him a "misguided goodguy" in the end KH3, a pawn of MoM in Re:mind, and now the reincarnation of MC from KHUX is too much. It seems all characters from KH now existed in the past and future in some way or another.
      It's such a shame, since these games marveled as character driven narrative, but ever since DDD the lore seemed more important.

    So the intital reactions for the Dream Eaters are definitely a "what the fuck" reaction, but I think that there's something bitter sweet about it. Sora in future ends up going to the Sleeping Realm and encountering the Dream Eaters, but remember something about Sora. Sora is a person who can make freinds with just about anyone. He's touched the hearts of countless people and even non people! This means Sora has unknowningly made freinds with hundreds of unfortunate kids who probably needed it most.

    My guess, and perhaps this is wrong, is that Brain came to his intended time as only a heart. The arc was meant to strip the passenger of its body anyways, so perhaps that was the best way for Luxu to experiment with taking a vessel, as he would’ve most likely still have questions about the morality of the master’s final plan. Or, I could be completely wrong.

    This video is a lifesaver, I've been working my way through the whole series again for the first time since KH3 came out and knew that I would eventually need to get the story of the Chi saga, but trying to read the wiki summaries was mostly just confusing me even more. This is exactly what I needed before jumping back in to KH3.

    ive been watching your khux content for about a year because I couldn't continue the story for multiple reasons( I lost my account for a few years but got it back before the end of the game, i was way behind on quests, and I kept on losing to the bear guy.) this game and community will always have a special place in my "heart".
    as for theories about khux I think your right about skuld being subject x, and for kh in general I personally think that demyx and luxord are the verum rex equivalent of ignis and prompto.

The pods being called "lifeboats" also reminded me of the raft from KH1, where they wanted to go to other worlds. Riku and Kairi and Sora may be from another time too (or have been reincarnated like Xehanort was) and they have forgotten their pasts

    "Is Kairi's grandma Ava, or Vor?"
    When I heard that question I didn't quite get that last part of it because I didn't know who Vor was. So to me it sounded like he was saying the Portuguese word for grandma, "Avó". I guess I don't really mean anything by this, but I started thinking how combining the names Ava and Vor into Avor, again sounds like that same Portuguese word.

    As someone who has played all of the KH games EXCEPT for Union X and Dark Road, this was an amazing recap of the story.
    Everything that is, would, or should be important are here. Of course though, in standard KH fashion, it answers one question while developing two.
    There were lore drops in this video that made me genuinely gasp in "eureka" moments, as questions for KH3 get answered and all of the red strings get connected. It's amazing how seemingly innocuous details, like Maleficent's cloak, now have become vitally important to the mechanics of the world.
    No way in hell this was the plan from the beginning, but what's brilliant about Nomura's story writing is that he keeps avenues open for these connections to be made. At the moment, it could be a throwaway detail or some flavor text, but some irl years and a few games later, new plot threads can weave backwards in time to make their connections.
    Now writing this in the present day, with the announcement of KH4 and new lore like Quadratum, as well as Streletzia's and Sora's existence in this "afterlife," I am excited and deathly terrified of what's to come next.
    Thank you my friend for reigniting my passion for this game once again. I'll think for now I'll stop my KH lore dive here and patiently wait for KH4 and the new mobile games to see what they have to bring to the table. Keep doing what you do my friend.

    Now that I know Xehanort is me, I think I am biased. I kind of feel bad for him he was manipulated by the MoM, like didn't we suffered enough. WE died protecting our friends and end up being the villain in our next life. I hope our next reencarnation end up being good again. But now that I think about it is interesting how obsessed was Xehanort with the Keyblade war, the war WE, he, almost died.
