    "I'm gonna give it two years". Published on Jan 22, 2017...Release date Jan 29, 2019. Simple and clean prediction.
  • @ThatOneGuy0006
    The 13 darknesses don't have to be the same person, but Xehanort was failed so many times that he just said "Fuck it, I'll do it all by myselves!".
  • @Veilmurder18
    The "everyone is Sora... everyone else is Xehanort" part killed me
  • @vanatos8989
    Friend: "...Are we watching a 3-hour long lecture about Kingdom Hearts?" Me: "Yes. Yes we are."
  • @BoogyMushrooms
    My mom died since I first saw this. For about 3 months prior to her passing 8-9 months every night I fell asleep to this wise lecture. Thanks for the literaly hundreds of hours of content across them all, Nate.
  • No lie, you've got some legit teaching skills Best Guy. You are on point about answering peoples questions, getting them to engage (demerits and SIMPLE AND CLEAN!) and you have an infectious enthusiasm for the source material. You're better than some actual university professors I've had!
  • Nothing better than listening to some dude on the internet bullshit his way through some convoluted lore for 3 hours.
  • @CrazyRiverOtter
    "So, uh, when does everyone become ghosts and go to Shibuya Scramble?" Wow, uh, that's a good prediction.
  • @Articuno54
    2:46:29 "And in fact, through this process. All of Sora's almost all also, all the Sora's, also almost all became Xehanort's. Real close. Real close for this all just being everyone the same guy. We barely missed it." I think about this statement daily.
  • @sensibility1174
    The professor needs to learn to drink from a glass without slurping air down with it as at 4:55 and 5:20. This individual, like many born since c.1990, was probably brought up on glugging from a bottle, so he's used to having a seal around his mouth when he drinks. With a glass you have to actually tilt the glass carefully and pout your lips to provide a spout for the water to enter the oral cavity without spillage. It's a relatively advanced technique. Sucking the water from the rim of the glass leads to the ingestion of air along with the water which then leads to the inconvenient and sometimes painful or embarrassing experiences consequent to air entering the gut, i.e. to trapped wind, as at 6:10. Especially for any public speaking appointment it's crucial to be able to drink water competently from a traditional drinking vessel. Absolutely crucial. There's no way this professor and his amateurish hydration methods would get tenure in my department. No way.
  • I think this video perfectly explains why people say (incorrectly) that the story of kingdom hearts is confusing. The story itself isn't complex, but the problem is that people try to explain things out of order. This series absolutely must be played in order of release, otherwise you don't have the small details that are important. Even in this explanation he keeps forgetting small details that end up being important later.
  • @Silver-Arm
    I can't belive I just watched a 3h video about a game I never played
  • @willemgreen8209
    I get extremely disturbed every time BestGuy takes off his glasses. It feels like he's removing a real part of his body

  • @Axeshizzle
    Would love a lecture on MGS and Kojima.
  • @Haedox
    this was the most amazing thing i've ever watched
  • @sasquatch8147
    Holy shit, at the end he said it would be released in 2 years. If you start counting the day he uploaded this vid, he’s exactly 7 days off. Wth
