    Correction 1: Pointed out by The Animated Ignoramas, a true pacifist run of KH1 would avoid Monstro entirely, as it does not appear in World Terminus, so the Parasite Cage can be spared in favor of doing Atlantica and HT.
    Correction 2: Pointed out by IanMyDude, BtwAlexHere, and Big Boss on RUclips and Neku on Discord, the fights with the Shadows sent by Pete at Mysterious Tower, the mobs who steal the 100 Acre Wood book in Hollow Bastion, the first mob fight in KH2 Halloween Town, **AND** the fight against the Space Paranoids mobs in Hollow Bastion can end by letting the enemies hit you, so *subtract 44* from both the KH2 counts and the grand totals. Believe it or not, I never died on these fights so I had no idea. (But like seriously, the cutscenes after these fights are unchanged regardless of how it goes, and it makes no sense, especially in the case of the Pete Shadows.) Anyway, very embarrassing to be wrong on the internet like this.
    Correction 3: Pointed out by KeybladeBrett, you actually *can* progress to the Leon fight in KH1 by seeing all the Donald and Goofy scenes, and ALSO going to the Third District. Seeing the scenes on their own is not enough, you also need to visit the Third District at least once. For the record, there are 4 scenes (entering the Hotel, the Gizmo Shop, the Dalmatians' House, and the Alleyway). This is especially funny considering all 3 of the proposed progression methods I listed are actually true. I reckon the reason I've always heard/assumed that it's 5 Shadow kills is because that's the fastest way to do it. So, subtract another 5 from the KH1 counts and grand totals.

      11:30 Someone might have pointed this out, but you don't need to do the dolphin sequence again after you visit the ship once if you unlock the shortcut with the big chest and the geyser. I don't think it affects the count since you did it again peaceful but it still bothers me.

      Monstro does still appear in Sora’s memory restoration clips in KH2 and I don’t think Jiminy would be quite so chummy with Sora if he didn’t help Pinocchio so couldn’t it be possible that he still killed the parasite cage?
      Edit: I also thought I’d include that Monstro wouldn’t show up in the World Terminus because he isn’t a world. Just a random whale that’s somehow thriving in the Lanes Between.

      I had guessed a score of around 13k myself, since by my recall they refer to the huge ass mob fight at the Graveyard in 3 as being 10k heartless(despite ironically requiring less kills on foot) and I recalled KH3 have a fair bit more Big Mob Fights, but I suppose Second Visits in 2 adds a big chunk, 3k is a good number to conclude on though, nice work

    You could argue Sora never actually kills any of the White Mushrooms or Rare Truffles, kinda like the Darksides at the beginning of KH1. No matter what you do with the White Mushrooms, they either get angry at you and leave, or they reward you and leave. Same for the Rare Truffles. So any room with those as a possible spawn can be cleared of Heartless with no kills just by hitting them each once.

    You know, it's funny you mentioned Roxas' kill count, because that was actually the first thing that popped into my mind at the start of the video. Because while Sora's kill count, even while being as conservative as possible, is definetly impressive, Roxas did almost nothing BUT kill heartless nearly every single day for close to a year, so I'm wondering how many that is.
    You can divide his kill count in two as well. An underachiever kill count where Roxas does the bare minimun to complete his missions, and an overachiever kill count where he collects the maximum amount of hearts the mission asks for.

    Really cool video! I'd like to provide a bit of insight for KH1 that I haven't seen in the comments yet. For the 9 Shadows in Dive to the Heart, you can actually despawn all of the enemies by walking far away from them, and that actually progresses the game. The same can be said for the Soldiers before the Guard Armor fight, and the two elevator rides in Hollow Bastion (although this one takes an incredible amount of patience).
    For KH3 you can skip the Water Core and Earth Core fights in Olympus by doing some fancy air slides over the area that they spawn in, which is done in the speedrun.

    canonically I think there is the question whether doing the olympus cups actually count as kills.

With Ephemer and the 300 keyblades of the past I would add 301 to total as the roughest estimate that we can get. Assuming 1 keyblade kills one heartless from the tide and Sora directing all the attacks. But that’s just me.

    • @RedFloyd469
      @RedFloyd469 5 месяцев назад +1

      But the shortest critical paths skip stuff that the game most definitely treats as canon in later entries. So this is probably a poor representation. It would be a MINIMUM REQUIRED kill count, but not canon.
      My personal canon is this:
      1) Every in-game cutscene that is possible, is canon, unless a cutscene has two different versions, one for each outcome of a fight. Given that for heartless deaths, no alternate versions really matter, we should count every cutscene as canon.
      Cutscenes track Sora's story and they add up to form his most canon-possible-story for later entries.
      This means that stuff like olympus colliseum is absolutely canon. So is Sora's meeting with Sephiroth in kh1. So is his meeting with "unknown", "phantom" and "kurt ziza".
      2) Sora gets told, in no uncertain terms, that killing heartless releases hearts. Knowing sora's kind nature and helpful attitude, as well as his definite "I'm a heartless-slaying-badass-so-don't-fuck-with-me" attitude he shows on multiple occasions, he would absolutely NOT shy away from killing as many as possible, right up until the organization tells him killing heartless helps their cause. Sora blatantly ISN'T a pacifist by nature. He's a killer.
      This means that all POSSIBLE heartless spawns during canon events and worlds, of which there are many, are canon kills.
      3)Respawning enemies that respawn for no particularly canon-event-specific reason, are treated as non-canon deaths. Only their originals count.
      The last question remains whether or not the data organization fights and material synthesis requirements are canon. At no point has it ever been confirmed by a canon event that sora has unlocked and synthesized multiple ultima weapons, accessories, regular weapons or armor pieces.
      So the TRUE canon count is much, much easier to track. You do a run in which you avoid all respawned enemies unless the enemy in particular was not killed before this point. You do all worlds, all story beats, all cutscenes, all superbosses. You don't bother with data fights, and cavern of rememberance isn't story-related so not canon. You don't go synthesis material hunting.
      End result is whatever heartless killcount the end-game screens show you. No need to tally them personally. In fact, the only ones you need to keep track of are the cutscene kills and the ones the journal doesn't count but are obviously dead by sora's actions.
      The TRUE canon count, therefore, is likely much, much, much higher than this video's tally. I counted 7700 heartless kills on my last kh playthrough, BUT, that was with synthesis hunting (to be fair, I didn't have to do a lot of that. But I need to be consistent.) AND repeat tries of colliseum cups AND I can't ever be certain that bosses like cerberus and rock titan aren't just counted as heartless by the game.
      Given Sora's 1000 kill streak in hollow bastion, and the general increase in lethality of sora, I'd guess the total killcount in kh2 is somewhere around that level too. Maybe even more. I can't be bothered to replay kh3 to count THOSE kills, though. Somebody else can do that.
      So yeah, Sora's true canon heartless kill count must number in the tens of thousands. Above 10 thousand at the very least. Dude's a one-man army.

    I don't know if it counts but I believe the 1st Minnie escort in KH2 can be done with 0 kills with a speedrun trick with pushing her along the left wall. (There is a clip of speedrunner InsertLogic doing that portion of minnie escort with 0 kills) I know it's 4 kills but gotta lighten that count.

    You don’t need to ride the dolphin a second time to reach Ursula’s lair; after the first visit to the Sunken Ship, there’s a passage to the Undersea Gorge at the bottom that, in addition to being enemy free, moves the stuck giant chest out of the way next to Ariel’s Grotto. Makes a much faster return trip and no need to worry about the command menu at all, but still gotta beat the shark for Sebastian to unlock the Den of Tides.

    my initial guess was going to be around 3200 (i assumed more heartless would have to be mercilessly eradicated in the big battle in kh3’s keyblade graveyard). i was pleasantly (horrifiedly) surprised how close my guess was with the canon counter.

  • @isenokami7810
    @isenokami7810 Год назад +6

    While I’m with you on not counting the Nobodies on a specifically Heartless kill count, I feel like their deaths would matter more if you were really taking this seriously. Even the lesser Nobodies are intelligent to some extent.
    Also, if you look at all the enemy ship models in KH2, they almost all have the Nobody symbol, not the Heartless one. So for the sake of this count, KH2 gummi kills straight up don’t count.

    Just wanted to point out, in canon, Mushu remembers being summoned by Sora and states "We used to beat all kinds of bad guy butt together" which points to Mushu being used for several of these encounters. Simba recognizes him too. Doesn't really change the numbers, but it could influence them

    20:13 Riku was shown to have used a Castle Oblivion World Card on his final floor for stated plot reasons but Sora not only wasn't shown to have used any World Card on his final floor unlike every other floor but was also completely out of them by that point as well as aware of the manipulation. As for whether the Heartless on specifically Sora's Castle Oblivion floor are real or not I'm leaning towards no because even though Sora didn't use a World Card to reskin the whole floor before entering he still progressed through the unaltered floor by altering each individual room with Map Cards. Regardless as you pointed out there are plenty of loopholes for the purpose of this video.

    One cannon clarification. Technically no one can kill a heartless aside from a keyblade wielder. I know this does raise so many questions and an argument that this is a different iteration might be possible, but in kh2 it was stated that any time a heartless was killed by anyone but Sora, or another keyblade wielder, the heartless would simply reform. This would actually mean that you can have Donald and Goofy disembody the heartless without it counting as killing them.

    The Torn page in Monstro in KH1 is up on a high ledge, however enemies spawn in the ground around that room (and, I believe, every entrance), necessitating at least a few kills for a "canon" total. Fortunately, it's possible to rescue the 51 puppies (7 chests) needed to get the Torn Page from Pongo and Perdito, though if you think they're part of the "canon route" then at least some of them definitely 100% require fighting enemies.

    Ah yes, the tiny "Friends are my power" Thanos. Jokes aside this is a really neat idea for a video, we rarely stop and reflect on how much blood we spill to save the day. Always feels double bad because 90% of the heartless look like they want to give you a hug and a box of cookies

    Hmm since a Nobody being killed undoes the death of a heartless by creating the full person again should killing a Nobody be effectively a removal from the heartless kill counter?

  • @BurstFlare
    @BurstFlare Год назад +2

    I don't think that defeating Heartless (or Nobodies, for that matter) actually counts as killing. Heartless and Nobodies are essentially two separated parts of a whole being, and defeating a person's Heartless and Nobody causes that person to be restored to their original form, so it's more like bringing them back to life than killing them.

      Well this is earthshattering. I've never been this wrong so many times within like two hours of a video posting lmao. Thanks Brett, I'll update this. Thrilled at least to learn something about KH1-- I have been told time and time again that it is strictly 5 Shadow kills and 5 Shadow kills only to progress. I assume that's the prevailing info because it's definitely the fastest way to progress. EDIT-- I just tested it out, it seems like you also *must* go to the Third District to progress peacefully, in addition to seeing all of the D&G scenes. I saw all of them and Leon wouldn't trigger, but then went to Third District and it worked after that. Fascinating tbh

    for the Disney Castle Piece in KH2 and the Escort Minnie Subgame: I know that in the Speed running community for KH2 they have the tech known as "Push that Mouse" where you push Minnie up to the inner wall and push her down the hall in practically no time, potentially saving those shadows. The only thing is that you might have to use 1 Faith command to knock them away (potentially killing a heartless) and Minnie might get one shot off, but If you go the distance with it, the Finish Command does no damage.
    Almost the same situation with the Minnie Throne Room minigame. At the very least with Speed Running, I know that at least one Heartless dies in there, but it could start whittling that number down.

    Alright. I'm going to guess now at roughly the two minute mark that Sora has killed 8,172 Heartless. Now to watch the rest of the video...and don't ask me why I chose this number. It was the first thing that entered my brain and I am sticking with it because sometimes you just have to let the intrusive thoughts win.
    EDIT: Well...my guess was a bit of an over-estimation. Granted, I am a touch sleep deprived, so...
    Fun video! I do wonder if my guess would be more accurate if Nobodies, Unversed, and Dream Eaters were all factored in too...

    One thing i could think of that would probly lower the amount of heartless killed by Minnie, Riku and maybe Carpet escape would be playing on higher difficulties.
