#KingdomHearts #KH358 #OniBlackMage
So... Heartless are hearts with no bodies... and Nobodies are bodies without hearts...
Goddammit Nomura...
KashelGladio makes sense to me
Hearless are Hearts.... goes to unplug brain :P
Poetry in motion picture
Also there are 2 kinds of heartless , emblem heartless which you fight all the time and are hearts without bodies and pureblood heartless that are made out of pure darkness and come from the realm of darkness , also they are alot stronger and more terrifying than the emblem heartless , a recent example of a pure blood heartless is Dark Inferno from KH3.
The end.
its like poetry it rhymes
This game has my favorite story in the series. Roxas and Xion's story is so tragic. Xion's theme makes me cry like a baby.
Mexican Uppercuts always remember this: if xion didn't die, we never would've had kingdom hearts 2.
gigaswardblade I’m not trying to be rude but we’d still have kingdom hearts 2 lol it was made before days soooo but yeah I dunno xion is an alright character but she wasn’t really needed but Ava or skuld might be the new “best girl”
This game has so much plot value and honestly the despair it inspires is surreal. I know the entire series has a lot of real life concepts they present in allegories and metaphors but this game in my opinion has the most immersive story because I relate to the conflicts of loyalty and friendship
I am surprised at how few likes these videos get. In my opinion they are some of the best recaps of the kingdom hearts games on RUclips. Keep up the good work :D
5 years later, and this is the best deep dive into the games.
@@Joe-po8rx i agreed
Probably many teens play these games and don’t have profiles
When you think about it, the story is actually pretty well developed in this regard.
This game makes me cry every time I play it
DeadRoses The music and the friendships are beautiful. I very much agree with you.
Thank god this video exists. I didn’t wanna have to watch a lazily put together 3 hour video on the PS4 kingdom hearts remix
Good recap but there was just one real error. The 358 plus 7 days doesnt mark a year from when sora went to sleep, but Roxas birth when sora stabbed himself. Remember, the events of Chain of Memories didnt start until about day 22- 23 in 358/2 days. And sora didnt even go to sleep until i think day 54 or 55. Also, perhaps it was just my interpretation but i never saw the intention of the mission with Xigbar, Axel and Xion to be xions destruction. I saw this because from the text, it seems like Xion attacked Xigbar. Axel asks her what is she thinking attacking Xigbar, and Xigbar just defends himself. Also, why would they want to destroy her at that point? She was the stronger of the two, and for her powers to have gone back to Roxas he wouldve had to have been the one to do it.
Thank you for doing this summary RIGHT! I was baffled and clueless by two summaries before this one. This is four times the length of many other summaries with all of the smaller details. I'm sure this took lots of effort to create, and I don't take that for granted!
Y'know even if you don't really like or care for Roxas and Xion as characters, you have to admit their lives sucked. :/
Roxas is a noble and commendable character. Both their lives are very sad.
People should play the game, I even enjoy the gameplay. The story got me crying a lot too
ok this always bugged me roxes uses a stick in a castle with knight statues holding SWORDS
In the manga, he used a sword. In the end which became worthless.
Thanks for making these recap videos! They turned out to be so important all these years later 😁
it would be impossible for sora to have been asleep for 356 days because thats the exact amount of days roxas existed before reuniting with sora, which a fair chunk of roxas' timeline exists before soras sleep
roxas we created back in KH1 when sore becomes a heartless in hallow bastion now? so he would have existed before he went to sleep.
Never forget, Ice cream = friendship, so having no one to eat it with, means he has past that which means to him
I’m highkey depressed I lost this game
wow, that was such a sad story. omg, so roxas was made with a purpose to be organization 13's little errand boy and to get hearts for THEIR OWN kingdom hearts. poor thing....
Two questions. First how did xion end up taking the form of sora before her and roxas fought and were atop the tower? secondly why did rikku feel the need to let ansem take over JUST to capture roxas? I guess I'm not sure why he would give himself up to ansem for that end
+mistadopeyy Xemnas scooped her up when Axel delivered her and finished making her into a "Sora doll". For a while, anytime Riku dipped into the darkness too much, looking like Ansem was a side effect.
At the end, you stated that Roxas summoned both his and Xion's Keyblades. However, Tetsuya Nomura has stated himself that Xion's blade is Ventus's. How Roxas summoned Ven's Keyblade will be revealed in KH3.
+fishysmells52 If I'm not mistaken, how he did it was revealed (sort of) in Birth by Sleep. And hinted at in 358/2 days in the battle with Xigbar.
Was ventus really that long to type out?...
fishysmells52 oh fuck...
So...uh...did KH3 actually reveal this detail? I legit can't remember
@@cheetah672 Roxas’ appearance is that of Ventus and he can summon Ventus’ Keyblade because Sora’s heart has been serving as sanctuary for Ventus’ heart since the events near the finale of Birth By Sleep.
When Sora stabbed himself with the dark Keyblade in KH1 he not only lost his body (which became Roxas), but he also for the first time in a long time let out a piece of Ventus’ heart. Which formed Roxas’ appearance.
Amazing summation! I understand that I am more than late in relation to the release of this video. The reason being that recently, in preparation for the (hopefully soon) release date of KH3, I wanted review the story of KH thus far and that endeavor has led me to re-watch the cinematic for 358/2 days to sort of fill the gaps of my understanding. Having done so, there are still a few questions that remained despite my attentive view ( that is thanks to kh's broken story telling). That has led me here, to a video that has given a valuable perspective on this story. A video that has shown careful research and provided an understandable explanation regarding the respective course of events. Well done Oni!
I'm also more than late. Watched the full cutscenes movie of Re:Chained because I disliked the gameplay, but then I found out that the 358/2 version on the PS4 was also a movie. So I had to watch this summary, because I spent 5,5 hours watching Re:chained, haha. Going to play KH2 for the first time now!
Best story in the series!
Axel is the best boy tbh.
SO WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT JUST WAIT A DAMN MINUTE IM USED TO SORA AND ROXAS NOW BUT HOLY SHIT WHO IS VENTUS IVE NEVER HEARD OF HIM JESUS CHRIST THIS STORY LINE IS SO COMPLEX ITS GIVING ME A HEADACHE
It all makes sense once you play or watch all of the games, it's not as complex as people make it out to be..
CosmicCruel he's from the game kh: birth by sleep. He's the reason roxas looks like him (ven/ventus) instead of looking like sora. Because ven's heart was already inside sora as roxas was born.
what.
Play bbs
Adonis Tenebrai some people as kids didn't have to option to buy all kh hearts games, especially like this on a hand held. I played kh1 and 2 on my ps2 but was never able to play the others because of money...
I really need to play that again. I really loved that game. Even though it hit me pretty hard.
You did an among job recapping this game as well as rechain of memories.
This made me so emotional😭
saved me 3 hours from watching the movie cuz that is all the hd remake was.
Same i'll be back for re:coded and yet DDD the other ds game you can play through in 2.8 prologue
Brendon Goodwin watching the actual movie?
It was maybe an hour not 3 lol
The gameplay was awful, I'm so glad they just made into a movie which is totally worth watching.
Danny Padilla lmao it was like 3,5hours idk what you were watching...
But I recommend watching the whole thing because it is so friggin emotional
Great explanation, I can't wait to go back and play the old KH games after I play thourgh KH3
I saw the 1.5 "358/2" on ps4 it dodge a lot of the storys in the ss version
Is this a game where I have to play all the previous games
Yes and no.
I understood everything, but what i didnt understand is roxas suddenly waking up and all that. Can someone explain me this part?
TheJoniel50 This also the only part i still don't get
Riku defeats Roxas
Diz puts roxas in a digital twilight town where he wakes up
Kingdom hearts 2 begins
I watched the full movie (almost 3 hours) and it was kind of spotty through, but this really made shit so clear
1. Roxas is the nobody of Sora, he is the one that took Sora's body at KH1 after Sora became a heartless (Sora got his body back due to Kairi).
2. Roxas, like other Nobodies in Org 13, has Sora's memories. I'm not sure how this can be explained, but his limited understanding of Sora's memories could be due to the short time Sora was a heartless then going back to being himself -- Similar to KH3, when the Nobodies lost (along with their heartless' already being destroyed) they end up becoming back to their original selves destroying the Nobodies. But Roxas never did that, still not sure why but I think it's because of Ventus.
3. Roxas was a happy accident for Org 13 as they want to get rid of Sora by all means to create Kingdom Hearts. But given Roxas' connections with Sora, they made a replica (Xion) to represent Roxas and by proxy Sora to make sure their plan of destroying Sora would work and this succeeds with Xion continuously sucking up Sora's memories faster than Roxas (why is that, IDK) which makes Xion faster and Roxas weaker since they both share memories from the same pool (Sora's memories which are scattered due to Chain of Memories) -- the destruction of Sora would be completed by not allowing Sora to recover his memories that are now stored in both Roxas and Xion.
4. Xion recognizes the problem and wants to give herself up by getting rid of her memories to give back to Sora (did I get this right?). This is done by having Xion, with some memories of Sora, go back into Sora with both her existence and memories of her existence going away. But Axel stops her, she loses to him, Xion is then juiced up on Sora's memories so much she now looks like him thanks to Xemnas who at this point doesn't mind to see Roxas be destroyed so Xion can be the ultimate backup of Sora. Juiced up Xion still loses to Roxas, who at this point has lost memory of her, and dies in his arms. Before dying however, Xion tells Roxas to destroy Kingdom Hearts created by Org 13 which ultimately would mean Roxas is to fight Xemnas.
5. As Roxas goes to do so, he is stopped by Riku. Remember, Sora's scattered memories are also in Roxas and he too is the same problem that Xion was to Sora's recovery. Riku then fights Roxas ultimately defeating him which also causes Roxas to lose all memory of Xion that was held on even after her death. The defeat causes Roxas to go unconscious which then he is transferred to where Sora is getting treated -- the point of knocking out Roxas is to take the memories Sora needs to recover away from Roxas and giving it to Sora, this causes Sora to recover but Roxas to not remember anything. Org 13 however will do everything they can to look for Roxas, and as a result he is put into a virtual version of Twilight Town for the remaining days left before Sora wakes up from his 1 year of sleep where Roxas lives a completely different life.
Sad, both Roxas and Xion were ultimately used to further Xemnas (Xehanort) plans of Kingdom Hearts as well as Sora originally and even earlier Ventus.
Awesome series of videos! Good job man :)
Very good and helpful recap! Thanks!
Thanks man for the great recap and explanation!
Oh Roxas...TT ^ TT My heart aches for you man.
Wait so Soras memories made Xion And Roxas??
Oh boy. So here's the gist of it. Sora voluntarily dug out his own Soul...I mean Heart to save Kairi. His disembodied heart turned into a Heartless and was saved by Kairi, that's why Sora is still walking around. But the body he left behind turned into Roxas. That's what Roxas is. It's Sora's zombie body with literally no soul. I mean Heart.
But wait you say, what about Xion? Well seeing as how Xemnas's entire plan hinges on either Sora or Roxas slaughtering as many Heartless as they can, if either one of them were to just...stop, then Xemnas's plan would be fucked. So as a back up plan he told his mad scientist to make a robot that he can control. That's what Xion is. It's a robot Vexan made to make sure that Organization 13 always has a keyblade wielder available to kill Heartless for them. And that robot can use Roxas's keyblade because it's powered by the few bits of memories Roxas has, which Roxas got THOSE memories from Sora.
Really the only thing that derailed Xemnas's plan was that no one accounted for the possibility that Roxas would be autistic enough to fall in love with a robot clone. And also no one accounted for the possibility that the robot would grow to care for Roxas. Because everyone is blissfully unaware that they live in an anime where these things can happen.
@@elevate07 HELLLP THAT LAST PARAGRAPH LMAOOOO
Great recap, thank you for this.
OMG UR VIDS R VERY INFORMATIONAL
I won’t lie, I was wanting to get to new content and new worlds so I watched this and Chain of Memories... but I now regret it and realize this game I should’ve played.
It’s 13 years after this game’s release, and this ending still haunts me. Roxas…. Damn it, he deserved better…
There's another beginning to Xion and Roxas's s story. An alternative I deem better than... this.
There's a good dark fanfic called "Twilight Will" in which he refuses to return to Sora. Sora is my favorite character... But I was very proud of Roxas for fighting to claim a future of his own design. Because that is how you know you're a living being. Any less, and you just happen to be a toy that breathes.
And besides, a battle hardened soldier ? Forget emo Riku (yes, I'm aware I should have more empathy for him given what he went through), this is the dark badass opposite of the optimistic protagonist I wanna see.
I love Sora, I understand their sacrifice was an option, but it shouldn't have been their first one. I mean, even the MoM created measures to ensure the survival and ressurection of his disciples.
Then again, Riku was a traumatized 15 year old when receiving orders from the bitter sociopath who saw him and Sora as his weapons. It's incredibly easy to manipulate people who are constantly questioning themselves and carry a lot of guilt.
These side games are more heartbreaking than the main ones!
There's another beginning to Xion and Roxas's s story. An alternative I deem better than... this (I believe in forgiveness, but I also believe in paying your debts when certain values are violated, and the truth is, he still manipulated her into ending herself and, didn't reveal he planned to lead her brother figure into the slaughter).

A better game than recoded for its story
On kingdom hearts 1-5 there's just a video of klngdom hearts 358\2days and that's OK with me but my question is when will the whole video game come out for PlayStation 2 or 3 or 4? Johnny
Ds
Love the vids man
Such a really shame that it isn't on PS2 or PS3
I'm a DeJesus too!
Thank you!
So...what's the significance of the title? Is the /2 just referring to Xion and Roxas?
Love Xion. Easily the best Kairi flavor.
God dang this should have been kingdom harts 2, the next one should be the 3 and the real 3 should be the 4th
Me seeing the kh1 trailer long ago:"YOOO EDGE!!!"
Me:"Yo what the fuck?"
This explains so much shit. I wish I had watched this before playing kh2 back in the day
Just finished this, what does it mean to be "Soras Nobody" I'm confused on that
watch the rest of the kingdom heart series he has ,maybe itll make sense lol. Im basically all caught up but still bloody confused. :P
Roxas is the "nobody" that sleeps within sora, that's what he means. Roxas was ventus before the events in kingdom hearts 2
Agent69 Roxas wasn't ventus! Roxas didn't exist until Sora became a heartless in kh1. The only reason he looks like ventus is because ventus' heart was also in Sora.
Derek Yew, Yup true.
basically when a heart gets consumed by darkness their heart becomes a heartless and their body is a nobody but roxas is a unique nobody
Damn...as a kid...I regret skipping the story, now as an adult it feels a LITTLE relatable..
When you watch it emotionlessly, KH's story doesnt look so good. actually, i would say its pretty bad. I say it as a KH fan, i love the games.
I still don't understand the /2 part of the title. Can someone explain?
The /2 refers to the two people that shared the same existence over the 358 days, that being Xion and Roxas.
And for the 2 screens of Nintendo DS console.
+Oni Black Mage and my last question, i know that roxas is growing his heart, and one day will have his life (sorry about the other question,i just said the answer) but is axel really gone?, i know that his real person is Lea, but will axel ever come back?
+Dane Rodrigue No
i think that is kingdom hearts 2
is it possible to see xion in kh3 or 2.8?
shes shown in 2.8 and 3 probably not
maybe she'll show up as a flashback but nothing more since no one knows her
she makes an appearance in DDD so yes she is in 2.8 and most likely she will in 3
She appears in pretty much every game made after 358/2 Days. The "being completely forgotten" thing was just an excuse for why she hadn't appeared in KH2.
So Roxas was put back in a real human body with a real heart? (I sound dumb asking this, but I've been confused about it)
Eventually, Roxas returns to Sora's heart and body, where he still lives in spirit.
Ahhh I see. Thanks man. One more question tho.
I recently saw the 358/2 movie and I understood everything until I got to the end where Roxas wakes up and says something about having another dream about him (I'm guessing he dreamt about sora). Can you explain to me what that is all about?
Correct, he's talking about Sora. At the end of 358/2 Roxas is captured by Riku and DiZ and has been placed in a Virtual Twilight Town with his memories altered. At this time, Sora is sleeping and dreaming, and when Roxas sleeps, he sees many of the same dreams and past memories of Sora. It's a direct lead-in to Kingdom Hearts 2.
Thanks! This helped me out with my confusion
Sorry to bug you again, but I have one more question.
I'm still getting bothered by the fact that Roxas wakes up and goes off with his day. It looks like as if he isn't a nobody anymore and has a heart. What actually happens at the end of 358/2?
Cool
3 5 8 days over 2
gigaswardblade is the 2 days meant How long his sleeping.
soooo no one is going to explain what happens at the end??!! Wtf is Roxas doing in that room and where is he going? is it a dream, did he go back to sora?
idris307 the ending of this game is the prologue of KH2.
8:51 am like whats the point of having thus kind of trows LOL and how the fuck do this guys get on thus anyways do they jump or they teleport of fuck it i give up
Hahaha I just downloaded a rom
Too many side stories...
Bro. Slow the fuck down
gOt IT MEmOrIZeD??????
