    Are you ready for Kingdom Hearts 3? It's finally almost here!
  • @BatehamRadio
    "It's just a disney game" You failed to realize the keyblade war was literally a massacre of children who killed each other.
  • @justindykes9774
    Ok KH fans, lets show we’re not insane not-pickers and correct every little part of the video. They got quite a lot right. And the stuff that’s just slightly not is super understandable to get mixed up. Frankly I’m impressed with the amount they got said in such a short time. Good job!
  • @tristanneal9552
    This is actually really really good. I always cringe when I see big channels try to recap the lore and inevitably totally miss big things, but you can tell a lot of effort and research went into this video to get it right.

    There was actually an official explanation on why vanitas is the way he is, apparently ripping out hearts in kingdom hearts has become so coming that people think there are no repercussions But if you looked up the novels you would know Vanitas wasn't always like that, when he first separated he wanted to go back to Ven and his very existent was one of pure suffering as being made of only darkness and negative emotions can quite literally fuck with you. You then have unversed which are created from his suffering and negative emotions, that he has to destroy with the drawback that when one is destroyed he feels their pain and suffering generating even more negative emotions. Xehanort learning this used this to strengthen Vanitas by making him fight and destroy the unversed despite the fact it made him suffer all while this was happening Ven was living happily with his friends which understandably made him jealous and angry. Four years later and Vanitas is turned into a brainwashed psycho as Xehanort plan comes together. Now the games don't really show his tragic tale, but during his final scene in BBS we see Vanitas is desperate to get the X-blade. He never wanted to exist, but after being his own person he was afraid to vanish as well. Sad but it’s a thing, fucking kingdom hearts can’t give me one fucking villain I can hate whole heartedly.

    Probably one of the most comprehensive kh lore guides on the web tbh. Obv in 14 minutes not EVERYTHING about the games are included, but with that being said, not everything is necessary for a beginner to have a good grasp of the kh lore. Great job guys !

  • Kingdom hearts isn’t as confusing as people say it is. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’m not necessarily saying it’s SIMPLE. And Clean. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to understand. You just need to play all of the games (which is a common misconception) pay attention, and remember a multitude of the different events throughout the series. For example, when Sora stabbed himself back in KH1, that lead to a number of things happening. And if you don’t remember this event, you likely won’t understand what really happens in the future games. The same can be said for the Black Box, Marluxia’s plan to take over the Organization in Chain of Memories, and the chamber of waking and chamber of Repose.

    7:16 : It was never specified just who exactly summoned Kingdom Hearts. Gula said he was going to in order to bring back the Master, but it was never implied or specified that he did just that. And since the MoM is not walking around anywhere - that we currently know of - it is safe to say for now that it wasn't Gula who summoned Kingdom Hearts.
  • @DoctorAeroson7
    This video was so good. I'm impressed that they were able to explain lore from all the games, in under 10 minutes! It was easy to share with friends.
  • @TheKiburedo
    I'm impressed that you managed to explain all of that in a span of only 14 minutos and in an entertaining way!
  • @7urn3rmusic
    This was honestly really well done and you can tell the entire team put a lot of passion into it. 10/10
  • Soul Eater is not a Keyblade, it is a sword that through Riku’s own journey, was able to transform into a Keyblade thus named Way to the Dawn.
  • Pretty amazing how much this series of games has captived so many different people and made us all love it so much we debate and discuss it to death lol.
  • @JXAChambers
    One small detail I wish they added would be just what Light and Dark really is. It always seemed like Light was Memory and dark was Emotion. Darkness gave us a desire to draw others to us while Light gave us Identity and individuality. Darkness on it's own became an indiscriminate glutton of everything around it, white Light on it's own was aimless and often absent of empathy. I could see Sora make peace with Darkness after realizing what it was, and how it wasn't actually an evil thing.
  • @IrvinTimeGaming
    I'm actually impressed that they fit this much inside such a short amount of time! 17 MORE DAYS GUYS!!!!
  • This was actually really well done and easy to understand and made some things a bit more clear good job
  • @thynErro
    The Kingdom Hearts that appeared in BBS was the real one, and the one that technically appears in KH1 is formed from the hearts.of worlds.
