    To Kingdom Hearts fans: what's the most frustrating inaccuracy in the video? I shuffled a lot around to make the narrative flow better and I'm genuinely curious haha. Thanks for watching! ALSO I'm live on Twitch with KH2 so come on by and yell at meeeee: www.twitch.tv/barryisstreaming

      To save you a little trouble:
      - Sora gets his keyblade after Riku leaves Destiny Islands
      - We don't see Mickey at all until the end of KH1
      - Sora gets the keyblade back a few rooms before the giant keyhole room
      - Roxas doesn't witness the Org XIII peeps heading to Castle Oblivion
      - Roxas meets Namine and DiZ in the real world, not the simulation
      - Only Mickey meets DiZ at the end of KH2
      - I could explain why Vanitas looks like Sora but it would take too long and doesn't really matter
      - Aqua and Terra go to Destiny Islands separately
      - Aqua meets Kairi at Radiant Garden
      - Terra gives Braig his scar, not Aqua
      - Eraqus's heart lives on in Terranort kinda sorta
      - It's not specifically No Name that can see the future but the Gazing Eye the Master of Masters placed within it
      - Aqua doesn't meet Riku in 0.2 or Riku isn't aware of her or something
      - Probably like five hundred other things

      Barry Kramer I am only doing this because you asked.
      At 6:00 when Sora reforms he technically isn’t actually complete at all and is still a glorified heartless with a form similar to his body because of his heart’s strength. The entire point why Ansem the Wise wanting to restore him in Chain of Memories/Beginning of KH2 is so that he can be merged back with his nobody. The memories are basically a side reason

    My theory why Riku is the form the journal took on is because he’s the one who’s seen AND REMEMBERS most of the shitstorm that is the KH plot. His memories weren’t wrecked by Naminé, and for a while, he worked with the guy with the PhD on Heartlesses, Nobodies, Light and Darkness. By keeping tabs on Xion and Roxas he had an idea what the hell Org13 was doing.

    At one point in KH2, Xemnas asks all the main characters why they hate the darkness. Mickey responds with “we don’t hate it, it’s just kind of…scary”, meaning there is no legitimate reason for this light/dark conflict to exist and I find that hilarious.

    • @dougrattmann3554
      @dougrattmann3554 ปีที่แล้ว +146

      Yes there is. Xehanort believes that darkness and light need to exist in balance with one another, kind of like yin yang. But the world's are unbalanced as people utilize darkness for their own purposes. This naturally creates conflict with light because again, the two things natural try to exist in balance. Xehanort wishes to essentially delete reality and build a new one where everything is in balance. The rest of the characters are like damn we don't wanna be deleted. To access Kingdom Hearts though, the X-Blade must be forged. To do so, seven hearts of light must battle thirteen hearts of darkness. Hence the entire conflict of kingdom hearts 3.

      Riku adds on that it's about "who's hiding in the darkness" that they hate so much. Considering the Dark Team is pretty okay with mass destruction out of curiosity and hunger for power, the Light Squad has an excellent point for fighting them at every turn. Old Man Xehanort experimenting on unwilling subjects, bred monsters that feed on normal people to expand their numbers, and destroyed multiple worlds... because he was interested in a fairy tale/creation myth? Stopping one guy set on causing an apocalypse is a pretty good reason to fight back.

    Crazy thing is Union Cross’s story took like 8 years to develop and has the most batshit insane story with so many twists and vague secret plans, and this guy barely touched on it, probably cuz it wasn’t completed at the time. But the craziest thing is it actually is pretty interesting and kind of makes sense, and it is vital to everything in the entire series. Also it’s just better because there is way less cringey dialogue like “my friends are my power” and junk, although there is way too much filler.

      It makes more sense when you play all the games in the correct order and gather all the lore in the games as you play them. The order is commonly confused, it's Birth By Sleep, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days/Kingdom Hearts re:chain of memories, Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Kingdom Hearts 0.2, and then Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. Technically, Back Cover and Unchained χ are also a part of the storyline, before Birth By Sleep even, but they're not really essential to the storyline. Everything important is told in other games.
      Kingdom Hearts 3 is obviously the latest but I actually haven't played half of these games, or rather, I've started most of them and discovered the order that way. Honestly if you play Birth By Sleep and collect all the lore that's hidden and play Kingdom Hearts and collect all the lore that's hidden, most everything makes sense.
      Except for Kairi fixing Sora's heart,,, That's still a mystery to me at least.

But then in the prequel it's just supposed to be normal that not only are there many Keyblades but many people are worthy to wield them and training with them.

      Dammit, i want potato chip addicted Xaldin, supportively strong Kairi, puppy-loving good-friend Xion, bossy egotistical Vexen (and his pride for making homemade pickles), Saix and his inability to use any technology, the hilariously trolly Dusk Nobodies (so much personality and fun...not shown in the games), and Cid's Bellyful Stew (of dumping everything in the nearest refrigerator in a pot and hoping it makes something edible).
