I love Roxas' story arc. His mere existence hurts the side of good. He fights to exist not to help evil but to just... exist. Once the Organization turns on him, he runs and tries to survive. Both sides want him un-personed. And then even his memories wiped. He keeps fighting to be his own person. And then even in the simulation he fails to escape. And then ALL throughout KH2 he keeps fighting to the surface. And after 2 memory wipes, losing 2 sets of friends and literally losing his body, he STILL doesn't give up on his existence. Fighting from inside Sora. Until he's finally defeated, not because Sora's a better fighter but because Sora knew a trick. He resigns himself to fate here and accepts Sora as being the true version of himself. Dude fights tooth, nail, and soul just to exist.
In Dream Drop Distance, Roxas essentially resigns from existing and leaves it to Sora, the only person who told him he had a right to exist in the first place. Makes me sad to think about, but also content that Roxas believes in his counterpart.
Difference between this and the manga: when Roxas disarms Sora, in the manga, Sora summons one of Roxas' keyblades instead of his own. Game: 0 Manga: 2
Me *first attempt*: No... Don't make me fight him! He's already gone through enough pain! Me *several attempts later*: GOD DAMN IT ROXAS! JUST DIE ALREADY
Actually if Roxas is Sora's other half then... If one died then would the other die too? Like if Roxas really died then would Sora die too? And vice versa?
You can just tell how Axel has strong feelings. How is he a Nobody? How can a Nobody cry? The music, the actual fight, all the emotions are so well executed.
KingLulzington When I first heard this plot point when I played DDD I was like Holy crap this is interesting but after many years and looking back on it especially with Charrii5s EWW KH: DDD video did I realize how that plot point doesn't make sense because they also say heartless/hearts and nobodies/bodies can be put back to together
Granted they did say that some nobodies have chances to make temporary replacements but the only one with that kind of thing was Roxas due to him being Sora's body and Ventus's heart being inside him well that's what I see anyway hmm anyone wonder what if Ven's heart returned to his body in 358/2 like would Roxas turn into a hybrid of Sora and Ventus like the Sora mod of Ventus in BBS
people:"nobodys cant have hearts" roxas:"ha,i started with one! i am special!" 3d:"nobodys can replace hearts" roxas:"am i a joke to you?" nomura:"roxas only dualwields because of ventus" roxas:"you what" kh3:"guys,give roxas some slack. he is amazing" roxas:"thanks,kh3"
marjo pardo It already looks like Kh3 will be worse than kh2. My hopes are that it will be just as good as 2 or at least better than Kh1 if that is the case. It does not look like it will be garbage. It looks good from what I see. Kh2 just set the standard extremely high.
Selena that’s bs. Take that fkn back cause rn it’s 10x better. Kingdom Hearts 3 will be the best. Villains win and sora has to win this fight alone. That’s enough for me to buy since no game this gen does that.
Holy crap, I just realized then when Roxas says “I see. That’s why,” Sora is standing in a spot that lets you see the images of Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and Riku. If the theory that “he” was a mistranslation, and that in japanese Roxas meant the keyblade, is true, then that scene has a whole new meaning. Roxas sees why the keyblade chose him: it’s sora’s heart; his connections to his friends. And that’s exactly what Leon and Yuffie said in KH1
@@stealthy9156 Yeah I think it was riku as well. Or at the very least I think it's what nomura intended roxas to mean but then the understanding got a bit mixed up.
Oh, man. That "Tell me why he picked you" part. I didn't realize that the moment he realized why, he was in the air staring at Sora on Sora's heart, surrounded by portraits of his friends. Based on the other hearts we've seen, it takes a lot for a portrait to get permanently placed in your heart. And Sora has 4. The only other person we've seen with as many or more is Snow White, who had such an easy time making connections - not only did she have the 7 dwarves, but also all the woodland critters! Even Ventus didn't have portraits, only the wayfinders representing his friends.
I know right? I got to play this boss fight for the first time just a couple months ago, and it's my favorite in the game. Such a shame it was never on the original.
I recently finished kh2 and for me personally this was the hardest boss fight. After all... it’s pretty hard playing with tears streaming down your eyes 😭
Roxas really is the best character man. It’s such a shame the best two characters (him and Aqua) have the most tragic stories, but that’s what makes them great. I know KH3 will probably give them happy endings but idk if I want that. But at the same time I do? Idk man time will tell I guess
Ventus had it far worse than Aqua. Saw the devastation and death of the Keyblade War first hand, thrown into the far future with zero memories, got his heart split in two and nearly died, nearly got murdered by his so called master over something he had no control over and then had to essentially destroy his heart again just to defeat Vanitas and destroy the X-Blade. And if you go by the novels Vanitas had just as bad.
hmm yeah we got happy ending for them and to be honest they deserve it but it kinda ruins all the meaning their stories had and the conclusion of their characters, idk I would actually like if KH's timeline ended at the second game, no matter how tragic it would be, it would be way better than "Everybody is now conveniently together again and happy, but sora is """"""dead""""""" ending.
I wanted to feel sad, but after dying over and over and over and over (even on Standard mode), all I can think of while watching this scene is “THANK GOD!!!”
I like that even without his keyblades, Roxas can still blast pillars of light to attack. We never talk about how powerful the keyblade wielders can still be without a weapon.
i want you to think about this Why is Roxas attacking Sora? Well, this was where Roxas defeated riku. and this is just after Sora saw Axel die... Roxas is pissed and is blaming Sora for Axel's death. are you crying yet?
Nope, it’s Roxas testing Sora to make sure he’s ready for this. Ever since Saix told Sora about the heartless and Org 13’s plan Sora’s heart has been wavering, he’s been losing his will to fight, so Roxas stepped up and made him steady his heart. It’s why he smiles when Sora cuts him down, he’s essentially saying “yeah, you’re ready man. Go save her”
Trial_With_An_Error not even close hes mad because axel chose sora instead of himself, saving sora from losing his heart and making Roxas return. Nomura explained this scene before.
@@trial_with_an_error9687 Wrong. A Nobody and a Somebody cannot coexist. So, when Sora woke up, Roxas was forced to go back to Sora. It's clear that when he faced DiZ, he was not willing to unite with Sora. He did not unite with Sora peacefully and Sora could not use Roxas' powers. When Roxas fought Sora, he tried to find peace by fighting Sora. After he found it, he could rest in peace inside Sora, and Sora finally gets Roxas' support (and his powers).

Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau critical mode is much more a challenge. You have less HP and MP but your stats are higher and you get access to better abilities. That’s why I love it so much. You can’t get Ultima till after you beat first phase Xemnas
Wow, I really didn't appreciate this song as a kid. It sounds straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. Such beautiful composition. Yoko Shimamura is an amazing musician. She is on another level of inserting feeling and heart into her music.
They must’ve added this fight to this version of the game. I just completed the original and I don’t remember having to actually fight him, just remember the cutscene afterwards.
You know what's the worst feeling in the world? Starting with kingdom heart 365 days as your first kh game as a kid. I grew up Watched the story countless time believing Roxas was himself and truly nobody else and only to find out he was sora's nobody I hated Sora for existing since I just wanted my main character Roxas to continue and keep on having those happy moments with his friends It broke me so badly. It got worse and worse as I grew up understanding more and more man :(
After all those years, and this is still one of the scenes in KH that hits me just as hard as the first time I saw it. What makes it even more sad is that this happens right after Axel died. Roxas hearing Axel's last words "he made me feel...like I had a heart" and seeing his best friend die through Sora's eyes triggered this, and filled him with grief and anger; leading to him wanting to understand once and for all why it had to be Sora.
Somebody with nothing against to lose, Roxas has had everything taken from at this point. You feel the pure anger and frustration as he hammers his keyblades down on yours. Though by defeating him he can finally be a part of you. Easily my favourite boss fight in the series. Also the music is absolutely incredible.
Something I just realized is how this scene is a lot more impactful than I thought. Roxas challenges Sora beforr Sora challenges the Organization something he was going to do before Riku stopped him
this fight of sora and roxas is a real epic one for sora fights what's basically a clone of him and it really brings out his potential, just like his fight with riku. in the end, soras the winner, just goes to show you can't f*** with the original.
Throughout the entire fight it seems like he has no energy. He’s always trying to catch his breath when he talks as well. When he traps Sora’s key blade, his keyblades have a sway to them. Like he is struggling just to stand.
2:55 Funniest yet best moment of the game. Its actually funny of you realize the origins of each Keyblade that Roxas weilds,and it makes sense that Sora would be able to strip them away from Roxas. In my theory,Oathkeeper was forged in the light of Kairi's memories while Oblivion was forged from the darkness of his memories with Riku. Fundamentally and in a sense of logic,these two keyblades originally belonged too Sora,so its begs the question of why Roxas has both of them in the first place
You know people Say that After this Roxas should not appear. Though the fact that he was so alive that he got himself an Heart demonstrate US how Sora and everyone connected to him Is special. Hope next KH games won't make US wait
The final mix versions of these games is like watching the extended version of a movie I like and seeing a scene thinking, “Wow! The film flows well without this scene. But at the same time, why would they cut this scene?”
This scene always made no sense to me. How couldn't Sora recognize Oblivion and Oathkeeper? Especially Oathkeeper, the keyblade he got through Kairi's help? And how could Donald and Goofy, who up to this point were *confident* that Keyblades don't grow on trees not even for one second be astounded by the fact that someone from the Organization had one, too? I love Roxas' arc, but it's strange how it was told through the perspective of the Trio. For all they know, Mickey, Sora and Riku are the only people capable of wielding keyblades.
I like coming back to your channel now and then to see Kingdom Hearts videos because you beat those KH bosses in a way it doesn't looks so easy, so it reminds me some of my feelings when I faced them for the first time many years ago. Also it looks way more enjoyable than seeing a badass character getting destroyed as a puppet lol Thanks for the great content.
Yeah, but with reflect (reflera, reflega) at least you can deal some damage, whereas guard doesn't. I dunno, to each his own I guess, but blocking is essential, don't just run head first in without covering yourself, that's just stupid.
I just realized that scene Roxas pointed Oblivion at Sora and Oathkeeper has nailed on the Kingdom Key, while Sora tries to reach it to reclaim it. I see this as a metaphor of Darkness can stand in his way to keep him from reaching the light, but Sora’s heart suggests otherwise because it was strong enough to summon his power back despite all odds.
This is the epitome of an emotion boss battle. Not only is roxas rude. He’s a tank. Then you have have to hurt him after the sad beginning my god. Kingdom hearts is my bible.
Numba XV Actually when you do the successful command for "the end " you briefly steal oathkeeper and oblivion, which is why you do more damage and Roxas can only attack with light
@@zealot246 When I stole his Keyblades, I still had a hard time getting to Roxas with 3 blades I ended up thinking it's better for Roxas to take them back. His light really kicked my ass worse than having to fight him normally.
Idk if a lot of people mention it, but I feel like the skirmish at 3:18 is extremely well done. The swings seem like they actually have weight to them and there's just something satisfying about it. It's not too common in the game and so that put this cutscene at the top of my list.
I love Roxas' story arc. His mere existence hurts the side of good. He fights to exist not to help evil but to just... exist. Once the Organization turns on him, he runs and tries to survive. Both sides want him un-personed. And then even his memories wiped. He keeps fighting to be his own person. And then even in the simulation he fails to escape.

Fighting from inside Sora.
Until he's finally defeated, not because Sora's a better fighter but because Sora knew a trick.
He resigns himself to fate here and accepts Sora as being the true version of himself.
Dude fights tooth, nail, and soul just to exist.
Holy shit that's deep
They butch all the characters in kh3.
And that’s why he’s my favorite character in the whole series
In Dream Drop Distance, Roxas essentially resigns from existing and leaves it to Sora, the only person who told him he had a right to exist in the first place. Makes me sad to think about, but also content that Roxas believes in his counterpart.
Not gonna lie Roxas reminds me of lucas from mother 3
''but nobody could defeat riku''
Roxas is a nobody. checkmate
It's like the "no man can defeat me" and the other one saying "I AM NO MAN"
Donald:"But nobody could defeat Riku!"
Roxas:Hold my Ice Cream!
MetaKing hahahaha so true.
They acknowledge Riku's strength
Didn't Sora beat a buffed Riku in KH1
There's only one part of this scene that doesn't make sense.
Donald and Goofy defeating a group of Nobodies without Sora's help.
Lmaoooo especially Donald 😂😂
They disappeared After that roxas got beaten
If so Roxas being able to evoke nobies makes ho sense
@@Mepphy99 roxas IS a nobody
Considering how they performed against Terra Xehanort in KH3 U dont fiund it to fare fetched to have them be able to beat some nobodys.
ItsASquid Unless they’re Nobodies from the Cave of Remembrance, it’s very believable that they could take a few of them by themselves.
honestly if you want me to be honest, the best part of this fight to me, is the music. I could listen to it for hours

That’s what makes this whole thing even more beautiful

Roxas really is the best character man. It’s such a shame the best two characters (him and Aqua) have the most tragic stories, but that’s what makes them great. I know KH3 will probably give them happy endings but idk if I want that. But at the same time I do? Idk man time will tell I guess
So any follow up?
Ventus had it far worse than Aqua. Saw the devastation and death of the Keyblade War first hand, thrown into the far future with zero memories, got his heart split in two and nearly died, nearly got murdered by his so called master over something he had no control over and then had to essentially destroy his heart again just to defeat Vanitas and destroy the X-Blade. And if you go by the novels Vanitas had just as bad.
Pierce Martinez The difference between Ventus and Aqua, however, is that he’s a goddammed idiot. Therefore, it’s harder to sympathize.
hmm yeah we got happy ending for them and to be honest they deserve it but it kinda ruins all the meaning their stories had and the conclusion of their characters, idk I would actually like if KH's timeline ended at the second game, no matter how tragic it would be, it would be way better than "Everybody is now conveniently together again and happy, but sora is """"""dead""""""" ending.
Two best characters? Roxas could be but hell aqua is useless. Now she is even more useless than kairi

@@Eg-ej6nx real gamers use the kingdom key throught the entire game
or is it just me? ok :(
Oblivion for the win!
That's not right, Donald and goofy can't beat anything without soras help
@Jermore Fortin I saw the ending, it still applies to Goofy.
@Jermore Fortin Goofy didn't beat anyone, did he?
@@canal1059 his role is to defend. Not to beat the hell outta anyone. Did you not see that his weapon is a freaking SHIELD?
@@lolcall5295 Your comment is misplaced, you should tell that to the user who said "Donald an goofy can't beat anything without soras help".
He wrecked Terranort with an super OP spell in KH3.
Roxas and Axled having to say goodbye :(
"You Make A Good Me" Y_________Y
Why couldn't he be his own person in the end :(
This has become my favorite boss in gaming after doing it on critical mode. I feel if you play this game on critical mode, you will love it a lot more
I beat it on proud the other day felt that was really easy till near the end but now gonna try critical and maybe get the ultima weapon
Ulrich von Brockdorff-Rantzau critical mode is much more a challenge. You have less HP and MP but your stats are higher and you get access to better abilities. That’s why I love it so much. You can’t get Ultima till after you beat first phase Xemnas
In my opinion this is one of the best boss fights in games the music the fight is just perfect
Wow, I really didn't appreciate this song as a kid. It sounds straight out of a Studio Ghibli film. Such beautiful composition. Yoko Shimamura is an amazing musician. She is on another level of inserting feeling and heart into her music.
They must’ve added this fight to this version of the game. I just completed the original and I don’t remember having to actually fight him, just remember the cutscene afterwards.
> The marks on Axel's eyes prevents him from crying
> Roxas disappears and Axel cries anyways
Sora: But who are you?
Roxas: You're on critical mode .
"You make a good other." -Roxas
It’s was so hard to play that fight because of how meaningful this fight is and how much emotion is in the song
Such a game :´(
:(
10:19 You're right Donald. Nobody CAN defeat Riku!
Sora believed in Roxas when no one else did that's why hes my favorite
Still love the Roxas Arc and him
just a preference
You know what's the worst feeling in the world?
Starting with kingdom heart 365 days as your first kh game as a kid.
I grew up
Watched the story countless time believing Roxas was himself and truly nobody else and only to find out he was sora's nobody
I hated Sora for existing since I just wanted my main character Roxas to continue and keep on having those happy moments with his friends
It broke me so badly. It got worse and worse as I grew up understanding more and more man :(
The best fight two keyblade holders clashing plus the soundtrack is insane
Just can't wait for 3
After all those years, and this is still one of the scenes in KH that hits me just as hard as the first time I saw it. What makes it even more sad is that this happens right after Axel died. Roxas hearing Axel's last words "he made me feel...like I had a heart" and seeing his best friend die through Sora's eyes triggered this, and filled him with grief and anger; leading to him wanting to understand once and for all why it had to be Sora.
Somebody with nothing against to lose, Roxas has had everything taken from at this point.
You feel the pure anger and frustration as he hammers his keyblades down on yours. Though by defeating him he can finally be a part of you.
Easily my favourite boss fight in the series. Also the music is absolutely incredible.
Something I just realized is how this scene is a lot more impactful than I thought. Roxas challenges Sora beforr Sora challenges the Organization something he was going to do before Riku stopped him
it's nice seeing someone beat it on one of the easiest difficulties instead of critical
Joshua Flask he still sucked tho
The sound Roxas makes when he gets defeated makes me wanna cry
Epic cutscene + beautiful music = Epic KH battle
5 years later and i still cry again ;_;
one of the greatest kh fights in the series
the best however is lingering will
this fight of sora and roxas is a real epic one for sora fights what's basically a clone of him and it really brings out his potential, just like his fight with riku. in the end, soras the winner, just goes to show you can't f*** with the original.
You know it's a tough boss when the TH-cam guy almost dies in the first two minutes of his video. Thank God reflect is such an OP magic attack.
I love how after being fatally struck in the chest he just stumbles forward, and gets back up
Throughout the entire fight it seems like he has no energy. He’s always trying to catch his breath when he talks as well. When he traps Sora’s key blade, his keyblades have a sway to them. Like he is struggling just to stand.
2:55 Funniest yet best moment of the game. Its actually funny of you realize the origins of each Keyblade that Roxas weilds,and it makes sense that Sora would be able to strip them away from Roxas.
In my theory,Oathkeeper was forged in the light of Kairi's memories while Oblivion was forged from the darkness of his memories with Riku. Fundamentally and in a sense of logic,these two keyblades originally belonged too Sora,so its begs the question of why Roxas has both of them in the first place
8:59 Axel's tear really got me
The first videogame that made me cry.
The most difficult part of this fight was beating him 😭
I wanted roxas to win
You and me both
You're both idiots then Roxas is Sora's Bitch remember
@@DannyHsn Says the true idiot.
If Roxas won, it would destroy the kh universe. Be happy that he's back, I know I was.
You know people Say that After this Roxas should not appear.
Though the fact that he was so alive that he got himself an Heart demonstrate US how Sora and everyone connected to him Is special.
Hope next KH games won't make US wait
The final mix versions of these games is like watching the extended version of a movie I like and seeing a scene thinking, “Wow! The film flows well without this scene. But at the same time, why would they cut this scene?”
My favorite fight in the series and definitely my favorite ost
I genuinely cried why am I like this
Same, because it is a REALLY sad game :(
The feels in this battle....were strong.
This scene always made no sense to me. How couldn't Sora recognize Oblivion and Oathkeeper? Especially Oathkeeper, the keyblade he got through Kairi's help?
And how could Donald and Goofy, who up to this point were *confident* that Keyblades don't grow on trees not even for one second be astounded by the fact that someone from the Organization had one, too?
I love Roxas' arc, but it's strange how it was told through the perspective of the Trio. For all they know, Mickey, Sora and Riku are the only people capable of wielding keyblades.
I like coming back to your channel now and then to see Kingdom Hearts videos because you beat those KH bosses in a way it doesn't looks so easy, so it reminds me some of my feelings when I faced them for the first time many years ago. Also it looks way more enjoyable than seeing a badass character getting destroyed as a puppet lol
Thanks for the great content.
He beat Roxas in the noobest way possible.
Infernape because Critical gives you less hp compared
i played on PROUD.
THE ONE DIFFICULTY NOBODY CARES ABOUT.
I agree, like, has he never heard of reflect?
Or Guard. Guard is like your best friend in Kingdom Hearts 2, but this guy barely uses it.
Yeah, but with reflect (reflera, reflega) at least you can deal some damage, whereas guard doesn't. I dunno, to each his own I guess, but blocking is essential, don't just run head first in without covering yourself, that's just stupid.
Kingdom Hearts 1 Introduced me to RPGs. And Kingdom Hearts II made me love them.
hey who put this bowl of onions here
This whole video is the reason why Kingdom Hearts 2 is really one of my favorite video games I’ve ever played in my life
Being lv 48 on crit mode makes this fight feel like hell sometimes
I just realized that scene Roxas pointed Oblivion at Sora and Oathkeeper has nailed on the Kingdom Key, while Sora tries to reach it to reclaim it. I see this as a metaphor of Darkness can stand in his way to keep him from reaching the light, but Sora’s heart suggests otherwise because it was strong enough to summon his power back despite all odds.
Kingdom hearts 358/2 days is the depressions game
"A whole fucking boss fight happens"
Roxas: Why did he pick you?
*Sora does a move*
Roxas: That's why.
"Right back at ya, buddy."
This is the epitome of an emotion boss battle. Not only is roxas rude. He’s a tank. Then you have have to hurt him after the sad beginning my god. Kingdom hearts is my bible.
In the manga, Sora was able to use Roxas' keyblade against him. Too bad they couldn't use that in the game.
Numba XV Actually when you do the successful command for "the end " you briefly steal oathkeeper and oblivion, which is why you do more damage and Roxas can only attack with light
@@zealot246 When I stole his Keyblades, I still had a hard time getting to Roxas with 3 blades I ended up thinking it's better for Roxas to take them back. His light really kicked my ass worse than having to fight him normally.
The fact that we can see he’s discovering the fight for the first time make it feel more comfortable 🔥
I beat him with the Keyblade that *remind* me Axel's chakrams.
See now that’s just messed up to a whole new level
I would fight him with Oblivion.
By the way, the Keyblade you used is Bond of Flame.
Idk if a lot of people mention it, but I feel like the skirmish at 3:18 is extremely well done. The swings seem like they actually have weight to them and there's just something satisfying about it. It's not too common in the game and so that put this cutscene at the top of my list.
