It's been a long time coming.
For the past 2 years of the GaMetal Song Ballot, Kingdom Hearts has been one of the most requested series that had not yet received a GaMetal remix.
To celebrate Sora's inclusion into Smash (a little late, I know), I decided to finally get a KH song done. The requests for KH songs from both comments and the ballots has always been spread out among several songs, to where there wasn't a clear outlier, so I chose to hold a GaMetal Discord ( / discord ) Request Battle to narrow it down to one.
Like some of our recent request battles, I had everyone submit their most wanted KH song (up to 2), and pit the top 2 songs against each other.
It came down to The 13th Struggle and Rage Awakened, so those 2 faced off in the official battle, with 13th taking the victory 81 to 67.
While this song originates in KH: Chain of Memories, this arrangement is based off of the Kingdom Hearts II version.
So... sorry to keep you waiting so long Kingdom Hearts fans, this ones for you!

Jonny released The 13th Struggle with 7 days left remaining in the month.
We can’t keep letting Nomura get away with this.
GaMetal has been around for 13 years, so this is as much an appropriate time to cover a Kingdom Hearts song as any!
😂😂😂👍🏿
Yep. This is true Kingdom Hearts talk right here. 👍
Something tells me that wasn't intentional... but it's hilarious that it worked out that way!
@@edgarlozada3858 KH fans when they hear the numbers 7 or 13: 'Dammit Nomura'
The first of many boss themes for everyone's favorite black coat wearing organization, remixed by the main man Johnny? Count me in, this song's a classic! What a way to start off Kingdom Hearts for the channel!
Sorry for being an um akchually but the first org xiii battle theme is Disappeared in 1FM
@@Pwrplus5
I’m pretty sure he means the first GaMetal remix for Organization XIII.
@@Pwrplus5 aa1
Amazing!
A year late, but here's a fun fact.
13th Struggle is actually a rearrangement of the theme that plays during the battle against possessed Riku in KH1.
Simply amazing Johnny.
You really did a Kingdom Hearts Gametal this time.
Im SO FLATTERED!
BUT YOU'RE TOO LATE
@@guywithrevolver ... I will be back when another releases
@@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32 "Two?!"
1: the attention to detail with the camerawork at the beginning was PERFECT! great attention to detail.
2: amazing spritework! Absolutely loved it! Evoked a lot of Super Mario Bros Z vibes.
3: I have been waiting for a metal cover of this song FOREVER and it did not disappoint! 🔥😎🔥 just everything was so good! Amazing job like always.
Yeah, using the GBA Chain of Memories Sprites was a nice touch.
@@queengames8421 what about the KH2 Sora sprite?
@@napstio8399 Pretty sure it's ripped right out of Super Smash Flash 2.
@@ExaltedUriel I thought so
@@queengames8421 that sora is custom though is it not?
Yoko Shimomura is without a doubt one of my favourite composers of all time, I don't know how she makes such majestic themes for every game she works on, she always keeps the general feel of the game, but when you hear one of her themes, you know she wrote that. But what's even more amazing is you Jonny: how you convert all the violins, all the pianos, all the heavy and tragic sounds into an energic metal is something still unmached in the world of remixing. Keep it up, I'll always be here cheering for you!
Okay, this was amazing, and now I need even more Kingdom Hearts songs covered by you. Just imagine Forze de Male, Destati, Lord of the Castle, Rowdy Rumble, Vim and Vigor, The Encounter, The 13th Dilemma, Darkness of the Unknown, and so many more covered in the GaMetal style.
I think Rage Awakened would be good as a remix too!
for half a second I thought Vim and Vigor was a Mario & Luigi track.
That first one is the one I want the most
@@StarshadowMelody same composer
Forgotten Challenge would be sick too
I don't even think I've ever heard a Kingdom Hearts remix on your channel. Excellent Job!
That's because this is the first LMAO
@@DeviDoesNothing I think it is.😄
Johnny even says as much in the description.
"Kingdom Hearts FINALLY arrives to the GaMetal channel!"
A first ever for GaMetal, Kingdom Hearts joining the roster of remixes. And may I say an absolute BANGER for a first entry, great work my guy!!!
And so, at long last, a GaMetal Kingdom Hearts cover. It took a while, but damn it was worth it!
I never clicked on a notification so quickly! Chain of Memories is my favorite of the side games/spin offs, I love how it forces you to pay attention to your card deck and the enemy cards to break their attacks and sleights with your own! This badass song makes the game that much better!
Chain of Memories also hits you with concepts that rest of the series didn't even attempt to try again
*>What does it mean to be real*
*>Even if memories are fake, are the feelings still real?*
*>Sora gettting so mad that he literally hates Larxene and running off on his own*
*>Memories able to be tampered, rearranged and constructed to form homunculus*
*>Riku being able to smell darkness*
*Looking back it was a pretty good follow up to KH1 despite retreading almost every disney world and being locked into the card world.*
I mean, 358/2 Days was all about delivering on the other half of that equation, centered all around people who "aren't real," starring one of those homunculi as one of the main characters, Sora's edgier Nobody getting pissed at the Organization in its entirety, memories getting messed with via the death of said homunculus but the feelings living on after the fact...
... And Riku leveling up from just smelling darkness to getting a dark-powered makeover, complete with his STANDO-DA. (Perhaps the prequel to KH3's dark-powered haircut?)
Days toyed with those concepts too. Beyond that, agreed though, definitely.
Agreed on both points. CoM and 358/2 Days absolutely provided a better impression for the future of the series than the others did :( for both story and gameplay direction.
Oh my God finally a Kingdom Hearts cover and it sounds incredible, well done on this one! Cannot wait to see more potential Kingdom Hearts remixes in the future :p
Oh wowowow, Sasukeshika inspired my love for KH metal remixes back in the early YT days, and their Xion battle remix is super beloved to this day, but KH metal is so scarce. What I'm tryna say is we need more KH metal on RUclips. Thank you, Jonny.
Also it's been a long time since I watched regularly so I haven't really looked at this current "challenger approaching" end slate 'til now, and I like to think he actually just breaks the glass with the guitar in it before every remix.
GOT IT MEMORIZED?!
Man, I always thought this particular track lacked something... This is the cover I didn't know I needed. Great job on this one!
Man I always love hearing organs in metal. I don't know why, but something about it is just so cool.
We definitely don't mind waiting when we know the cover is going to be an absolute banger. Love all of the references, and hope to see more KH covers in the future!
Day ?? of requesting Devil Gundam (Aeon) battle theme from MS Saga: A New Dawn.
omg the very first GaMetal Kingdom Hearts cover 🥺🥺🥺 There are too many good tracks from Kingdom Hearts to choose from but I’m so glad The 13th Struggle is the first! Rage Awakened would be awesome too if you ever got around to it, but I’m really grateful for this cover since I’ve been going through a crummy time this week. Thank you so much for what you do Jonny 💙
Thank you and I hope your week gets better!
The 13th Struggle... The search for the Magikarp Festival Cover, never ending as it is, it's still one whose chain's won't lock my heart down! Remember the memories of past requests and advance with the power of a kingdom!
I’ve been requesting KH songs for what feels like forever, but you’ve been requesting Magikarp Festival longer than that 😂 I finally got my wish, hopefully you get yours someday! Magikarp Festival does actually slap and I’d love to hear Jonny’s take on it.
@@thedanliest My wish shall be fulfilled one day
This was a fantastic pick for a kingdom hearts song. If you want can you do “The Other Promise”?
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH! 13th Struggle was already one of my favorites, but you made it INCREDIBLE! Excellent work!
This song was getting me teary eyed and then the acoustic afterwards had me full bawling. Thank you again for the amazing cover!
2022 GaMetal Song Ballot is still running, get your vote in! forms.gle/oiQnCfbqUHatexZu6
Also shoutout to Omegpha for providing the sprite animation (and background) for this video! ruclips.net/channel/UCF_DQoJAJgYQe-09Up6l2-A
I loved that you included some animated bits, just like with Battle to Repay the Debt!
YOOOO I got into KH recently so this is sick!
Never clicked on a notification so fast before. IM SO HYPED
I hope we get more Kingdom Hearts covers, The 13th Dilemma Saïx version would be sick
Or maybe Fate of the Unknown, Rage Awakened, or I dunno Destiny Islands. There's many great Kingdom Hearts tracks.
I get greeted to THIS after solo-ing a busy drive thru -and then some- all day because two people didn't show
I'll gladly take this reward geez
I feel ya. Really sucks to be the only person doing the brunt of the work, especially when it's busy.
@@DeviDoesNothing Gametal really judt said "C'mere. I'll make it all stop!"
As a 2000's Nintendo man, Chain of Memories was my first KH game in a series that would become one of my favourites, thanks in no small part to the music
This song left an awesome impression on me as soon as I first heard it. Thank you so much for this banging cover Jonny. Incredible as always 🔥
I’ve been waiting so long for this!! Kingdom Hearts is my absolute favorite game series. It has some of the greatest music in gaming - Yoko Shimomura is a GOD - and this has always been my favorite VGM cover channel, so this is a match made in heaven for me! The level of care and attention to detail you put in your songs always astounds me and I knew you’d be able to produce some amazing work with the Kingdom Hearts OST, and I was not disappointed! 🤩 Astounding work as always (and that sprite work??? 👌👌👌). Also the Simple and Clean acoustic at the end 🥺
Hats off to you Jonny and everyone else involved in this project. Can’t wait to hear the next KH track! There’s still so many more great songs you could do that deserve that special GaMetal touch! Darkness of the Unknown is, imo, the GOAT of video game music and I might actually die of hype if you ever covered it.
Who did the animation!? That rocks!
Requests:
Divine Madness from EBF3
Eternal Champion from EBF1
Roar of Dedede from Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Zevion from Monster Rancher 4
Man, this is something I've been waiting for. Really cool job, thank you for doing justice to one of my most favorite songs ever.
So, I noticed the little GaMetal avatar in the corner using a buster sword, and all I could think was “… why isn’t he using an axe?”
I was on a Kingdom Hearts music binge when this got uploaded. This was fate.
KINGDON HEARTS MUSIC LETS GOOOOOO!!! NEVER CLICKED ON A VIDEO SO FAST! GREAT WORK MAN
Those little animations in the song are so good! And not to mention that this song sounds super badass in your style, Jonny! Superb job as always Jonny!
OH HECK YEAH!!!! I’ve been playing through the Kingdom Hearts games for the first time and this song has really stuck out to me as one of my favorites!!!
Probably one of if not my favorite KH boss themes, nicely done.
Suggesting the Overworld theme from Faxanadu on NES
What I really like about Jonny'a music is how he uses more intruments besides the standard rock instruments like guitar and drums. It really sets him apart from other metal coverists and it really helps to keep the dna of what makes the track great, while still putting it into a new genre. Also, those acoustic guitar covers and the end a amazing. I wish there was a way to listen to full versions of them.
His *Atmacoustics* Channel has one and the rest are loopable acoustic shorts. I also recommend watching his acoustic version of *Stickerbush Symphony,* if you haven't yet. 🤠
YESSSSSSSS!!! Finally, Kingdom Hearts is on the channel!! We can only go up from here!
3:33 SPEAKING OF SQUARE ENIX AND YOKO SHIMOMURA...
Why can't I like this more than once!
My favorite song from KH2! Good job.
Oooh! You're doing one of my favorite songs from super mario rpg!
I see some Geno poppin' in, boi! Always excited to see your covers, man. You rule!
This cover is on FIRE! Absolutely love it!
The song that truly got me into the Kingdom Hearts franchise, and done like this is so good!
YES!!!!!!!! Amazing KH cover, great visuals, and yet another example of why you're my favorite metal cover guy. If you ever want to do more from this series, I highly recommend Forze del Male, Darkness of the Unknown, L'Impeto Oscuro (my personal fav), or even the medley of all three, Forza Finale. Keep up the good work, and thanks for all your awesome vids!
Love this song. You for a good job capturing the original feel with the instrumentation. I think you're getting a lot better at that!
I've listened to this at least 20 times now. One of my favorite video game songs made metal in the best way. Amazing job Johnny!
Aw man. Uploaded day before my birthday. I love this song so much. I wish it made it into Smash. This cover is so dang good. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
Happy birthday SuperTeeter!
@@JonnyAtma :'D
Thank yooooooooou!
That challenger approaching... Smash may have forgotten him, but I am happy to see you haven't.
One of my favorite tracks from KH:CoM! Amazing remix!
Gotta throw a request out for Solstice title theme(NES)!
IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOR YEARS THANK YOU SO MUCH
The drums in the beginning was divine
This is so good. You've had so many good ones lately. Keep it up!
Finally! A Kingdom Hearts cover on this channel! And it's The 13th Struggle *let's go!!!*
Maybe I'll get my Blazblue wish sometime in the future...
Woke up with the flu this morning, feeling absolutely wretched. So I check RUclips, and see this got uploaded.
Speaking as someone who adores Kingdom Hearts' music: thank you for giving me a moment of yay despite the sick, absolutely amazing composition, and I loved the spritework/camera work! :D
HOLY FLIP NO WAY
OH MY GOSH NOW I WANT A RAGE AWAKENED COVER SO BADLY
IM SCREAMING THANK YOU GAMETAL
Amazing cover! A very nice one to delve into KH as well. I understand its lore and the disney stuff can be very bs, but the music is ALL good! Hope to see more of this on your channel
Awesome remix! I will battle the Organization over and over for this.
What a blast from the past! Love the effects to! Keep up doing God's work Jonny!
And you do it again. On a day where i need something, anything, to pick me up
You go and drop a song i always hoped you'd get to. God DAMN i love GaMetal!!!!
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR FOREVER FOR KINGDOM HEARTS ON HERE! IT'S SO GOOD AND PERFECT!!
I'M-..... I'm SO FLATTERED!!!
...TWO?!?
This song want my favorite themes in the kingdom hearts series and now listening to this brings my childhood back again. great cover man! 👍🏻
Challenger Approaching: Geno from _Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars._ Which means there's about a 95% chance the song is going to be "Beware the Forest's Mushrooms," AKA the song that plays in the Forest Maze.
Greetings Papa Keaton! There's a special shout out to you in my comment, today!
10/10 Music
10/10 Animation
10/10 Information box at the start
So glad to see you finally doing a KH song. Hopefully you'll do Rage Awakened at some point.
(Side note, I had started KH: BBS a while ago, but ended up getting sidetracked by another game for nearly 2 months. I just completed it 100%, and am now ready to get back to playing BBS. Even if Organization XIII isn't in that game, I'm willing to consider this remix as a herald to my return to KH.)
Holy cow! I forgot this song existed when I played the game. This remix just made my day a whole lot better! This is awesome
"You play the guitar quite well..." --Luxord
Awesome choice of a KH song to cover 👌
Fantastic job as always man, keep up the hard work with all these covers dude! 🙌
YEEEE, another BANGER to add to my playlist! This is my favorite battle music from the Kingdom Hearts series!🤩
How could I have not recognized the silhouette from the last video as Organization XIII
I am still shocked that you did a KH remix and I'm really hoping for more now
YESS FINALLYYYYY KINGDOM HEARTS IS GETTING SOME LOVE!! THANK YOU JOHNYYY🌹
This is fantastic, you should do more Kingdom Hearts Covers.
YESSS KINGDOM HEARTS
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS, SUCH A BANGER
Another banger from gametal
This cover is incredible. KH2 is my favorite game of all time and 13th Struggle has always been a personal favorite track of mine. Keep up the AMAZING work man!
I just got to the gym and I’m blessed with this gem? I’m so thankful 😭
My man out here doing the community the best service 🙌 I knew you'd do amazing homage to Yoko Shimomura's work. Fire as always Jonny!
yo this was great, especially loved the part at 2:08, would love to see Fight and Away or Dismiss in the future
Dismiss would be so amazing
OH MY GOD IT'S THE 13TH STRUGGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS THE BEST TRACK IN ALL OF KINGDOM HEARTS, THANK YOU!!
Simply AMAZING GaMetal!
I completely forgot about Kingdom Hearts Duel Monsters until now. Great remix.
I’ve been waiting for this for so long! This is amazing!! :D
Sick, forgot how much Kingdom Hearts deserve a remix. Amazing cover!
I’m still gonna continue my hopes for Crosscode’s One Last Trial.
Amazing cover.
Awesome cover. I really liked it.
Great work to everyone who worked on the video, including the sprite animation and the gameplay.
Oh SHIT, one of the most underrated KH boss tracks got some love? I am 10000% on board, lets go!

The 13th struggle + GaMetal =
NEW REMIX.
Ahh yes! My all-time favorite Kingdom Hearts track!
Absolutely love it, my dude!
when i saw this video i physically said "no way".
13th sturggle is my favorite KH music.
thank you for making a remix of it.
"Simply amazing, Jonny."
sounds weird without larxene shouting "vanish!" or "you have no heart!" every three seconds, but pretty good regardless
Or Vexen's cackling, the ding of our attacks being blocked and ice sounds. And the low HP alarm. Can't forget that.
This track was as fire as the background! 🔥
Awesome!
Damn. The theory time is over of which XIII song was gonna be covered. Kingdom Hearts music is amazing, and You did an amazing job on it. And great spritte Battle animations. Omeghap did something really cool. Super Mario RPG next, huh? More Yoko Shimomura!

I already know this is gonna be legendary
Thank you. I was waiting for this!
The acoustic piece at the end could have been "Dearly Beloved", but you didn't go the obvious route, and that's pretty cool. I'd love to hear a full version of Sora's Sacrifice!
Great work for both the animation and music! Makes me look forwards to other themes for both.
