+kimzee59 11 worlds: Forget it. There is no way you are taking Kairi's heart!. I loved it everytime Sora said that line after hearing Kairi's call his name.
Sora and Riku were friends who actually respected each other and their rivalry was just friendly sportsmanship that only got warped into enmity due to the machinations of Maleficent and Ansem. Sasuke was way too out of Naruto's reach to be his rival and disrespected almost everyone because he was genetically superior to almost everyone. Sasuke and Naruto don't share any goals and have no reason to be enemies in fact Naruto should have let Sasuke leave as it would have benefitted him. not once was that guy his friend which might make sense since Naruto nearly got Sasuke killed in the Land of waves. Riku and Sora are practically bros while Naruto deludes himself into thinking Sasuke was a friend because of his deserved loneliness when at best they were coworkers. Sasuke did try to somewhat work with the treasonist but Naruto sabotaged that through his incompetence and immaturity. Sasuke the model citizen eventually betrayed his village because of his lust for power and revenge whether or not Orochimaru manipulated him through his magical fangs. Also Riku actually had a redemption arc Sasuke just said " Yeah...sorry." and never faced consequences for his treason. Riku has true remorse while that privileged, red-eyed mutant elitist could care less about how his actions effect other people. Riku to me was a better character, friend, rival, and person.
@@GreenPhoenix91 I don't like Sasuke as a character either lol, nor was this a comparison of their overall arcs as people. Riku became something completely different while Sasuke will forever go down as one of my least favorite characters in Shonen history.
@@GreenPhoenix91 what kind of bs are you saying naruto is sasuke's best friend in the land of wave , sasuke instinctively protected naruto , in the battle against gaara sasuke clearly stated he didnt want to lose something dear to him again refering to naruto and sakura and probably the other genins as well , sasuke and naruto are friend and rivals , it has always been like this and sasuke recognize it in death valley by saying he wanted to cut the bound that linked him to naruto , i dont know what show you watched bro
@@morsayxd I watched the same show as you and I dropped it because of Naruto's incompetence in battle, Sakura's uselessness in battle up until the chunin exams, The lack of consequences for Naruto when he should be perceived as a traitor to his own village after he stole & read the shadow clone scroll and should have been tortured for failing to capture Sasuke when he was ordered to bring the asset in. The lack of consequences for Sasuke such as when he committed treason to advance himself and let us not forget he was late for his match against Gaara and should have been disqualified. The hypocrisy of trying to present Naruto as a model of hard work beating natural talent when he only won through unfair advantages such as his illegally obtained Shadow clones, his stupid demon, or his connections to a ninja aristocracy. Naruto also hypocritically disqualifies his son at the chunin exams for using an elemental manipulation device when he only won against Neji by using the kyubi and his illegally obtained clones he should applaud Boruto's resourcefulness not punish him for it thus displaying that he never understood any of the basic fundamentals of what it means to be a ninja. I was watching Naruto and it represents injustice.
RandomSteV2 Second chance + having no life for over 10 years works miracles man!Tho I guess that doesn't count if that was a replay. When I was a kid I might have memorized it.
Did u equip the abilities guard and counter and did u use the olympia or metal chobo keyblades? That makes it easier since I beat him on expert with two tries
Don't know how, but I managed to beat him on my first try on Expert with Spellbinder. Took awhile because I was healing every few seconds, but MP Rage and MP Haste made sure that I never died.
Dylan Wilber That and you had little space to maneuver with all the light show Ansem displayed,along with his constant attacks or guardian in your face. Real ones beat him on expert with the kingdom key in the very first installment of KH1.
I remember I wanted to challenge myself so much when it's game came out and when I beated the game I started a new game but this time I was using only the first keyblade and boy let me tell you the Riku ansem fight was hard would only the first Keyblade and I think I put it on hard difficulties if I remember right boy will I would never try that again
"WELCOME OBLVION" *starts dark volley* "HA HO HA HO YAH YAH HA HO HA HO YAH YAH! IT'S OVER!" *slams dark keyblade into the ground creating dark pillars*
Kingdom hearts really changed my life. EVERYTHING down to the music in this game was so real. Made you feel like you were really there fighting for your friends
Playing this game as a child really laid the ground work for the kind of person I became. This was the first time I saw these emotions being dealt with in media, and so I kinda absorbed it's philosophy.
"Come.." "Show me your power!" "Welcome Oblivion!" "Behold the power of darkness.." "Come on, is that it?" "Come Guardian!" "Submit!" "What do you hope to accomplish? Do not deny it." "Take this!"
"Take THIS!" "Come, Guardian!" "SUBMIT!!!" "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "My strength returns." "What do you hope to accomplish?" "Do not deny your fear." "The final darkness is nigh." "SUBMIT!!!!" "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." Rinse and repeat until he finally dies.
I remembered that this was the most hardest boss battle I've ever faced in kh. I've died so many times, I cried after maybe 8 times and stopped playing this for a few years. Then I went back on it again and FINALLY beaten Riku -Ansem. It felt SO good to finally finish the game after all these YEARS 😩
The "Duel of Fates" of Kingdom Hearts. Especially when that choir and melody at 0:31 kicks in. I'm pretty sure that melody plays during nearly EVERY final Xehanort fight and it's glorius.
yeah i wanna say this is the anakin vs obi wan fight but better i mean Riku is like Anakin in a way where he submitted into darkness but at least HE didnt kill little kids

guys forze del male means forces of evil and forze dell'oscurita means forces of darkness.I dont know i was so happy when they put an italian named song in birth by sleep and kingdom hearts 1.I am italian so i was wanting to share whit you this
Probably one of the most nerve-wracking boss fights I ever had when I was 13 years old (now I'm 31). I must have died about 17-20 times. Having gotten one of my best friends into the series since last year, I got to hear him react to every boss fight over the phone. Before he even got the game, I would talk to him about the series and how insane some things were, and that made him want to get into it. He gets to his fight and wonders about why so many people found it hard... and then the Dark Aura shit happened. He wanted to identify with my experience, so he didn't skip the cutscenes. By the third try, he KNEW what I was talking about, and then beat Riku at like attempt 5, lol
One of my favorite boss themes ever! Yoko didn’t have to go this hard but she did and I love it! I can’t decide which is my favorite boss theme. This one or Nachtflugel!
I miss this game. Feels so different from every KH title from KH2 onward. I miss Riku's dark form, I miss Ansem being the big bad, and I miss the story when it was simple and clean, and not the clusterfuck it is now. KH1's story still makes no sense, but it really knew how to tug at heartstrings. I refer to this game as "Where the Wild Things Are: Final Fantasy edition". But the thing I miss most is KH1 Hollow Bastion. It had this epic, mystical, intimidating feel to it, like a dark castle from a fairy tale. Radiant Garden looks like shit now.
Yes, I hated hollow Bastian because of how hard it was, but it was so incredible. It just felt so endgame and appropriate. Radiant gardents doesn't have anything to do with the OG hollow bastian. Instead of mystical gravity defying waterfalls, sewers, castles, a portal to the realm of darkness, a grand library, teleporters and all the great things about the original, we get scrooge mcduck and his fucking icecream
Yamishi Ikeda i so much agree with you,The plot is getting ridicolous with plot twists that contradict every plot stated before and pratically boils down "it's all Xehanort's fault " with the Organization Thirteen being the "thirteen hearts of darkness and 7 of light" just to make up for the stupid plot The hollow bastion was better in KH1 i believe that Nomura is like George Lucas they've ruined by meddling birth by sleep directly into the KH trilogy i used to love it,but with each installment it makes even less sense and more stupid things happen "Darkness is evil" appears to be the motto these days in KH the radiant garden is a cliche "Dark place used to be beatiful until a bad guy corrupted it"
The first time I played this game I thought that this was the final boss of the game. It just had that "this is the last boss" kind of vibe to it with the build up and the music that went with it.
Dear god, it was endless torture for me to watch the whole cutscene in kh1,only to get beaten up and die, just so I could watch the scene again,with no way to skip it. Bloody hell.
I always use the Olympus keyblade on him; that heightened attack priority is a godsend to keep from being stunned just by swinging while he does. Plus you can counterattack for some MP if you clash swords with him with high priority.
Lokk closely at riku's keyblade you can see that at the blade is forming an incomplete heart (that is why that the keyblade's name is "the key to ones heart")
As I was saying, the kingdom-key is not sora's base keyblade. The Dream-Sword is. The base keyblade comes to you in the Dive to The Heart usually. *Spoilers* For Sora it was the dream sword, for Riku it was the Soul-Eater (according to interviews with Nomura), for Xehanort it could have been the Aerial-blade like weapons he used in BBS, for Roxas it could have been the struggle-bat (ok, that one is a little far fetched).
Yea this game was hard as a kid, but this fight, this fight was basically everyone’s wake up call that the game isn’t messing around anymore and is about to get way more challenging
Keyblade of Hearts is one half of the X-Blade. Ansem went about collecting 7 Lights while Xemnas went about collecting 13 Darknesses. Sora interrupted Ansem before he could completely forge the Light half of the X-Blade, by defeating him before he could forge Kairi's Heart into it.
When Riku defeated Ansem, he returned to the true Dreaming Worlds because Ansem's power was what made him a Dream Eater. In this game, we found out that Ansem was a freaking powerful being.
It was one of the most confusing things emotionally as a kid to fight Riku. It's so terrifying to have to fight your best friend and this music helps that idea, but there is also the part that Riku is willing to be on the side of darkness which makes it so hard to understand. Of course it's mostly revealed what happened, but before knowing was really intense.
The funny thing of all this is that there's a place at the botton left of the field where you cannot be damaged by the dark aura, like a gap in the attack scheme or a bug in the game... realized after been murdered by Riku thousands of times XD
"The Princess's heart is responding! It has been there all along. Kairi's heart rests within you!" "It is I, Ansem, the seeker of darkness!" "So, I shall release you now, Princess. Complete the Keyhole with your power. Open the door! Lead me into everlasting darkness!"
me too until i found a way not to get hit,which took me forever to realize that there is this one spot where he's not coming through when he uses the move he always used to beat me with.
It took me 8 years to realize that the head to the keyblade that Riku/Ansem is wielding has a missing heart as an outline. Putting 2 and 2 together, I guess it represents the fact that the keyblade was forged from the Princesses of Heart's hearts and that there's one heart missing; Kairi's.
I kind of miss that Keyblade I was hoping they would have bring it back but nope I guess they wouldn't have to since almost any keyblade unlock anyone's heart it seems like
"Come" "Here it comes!" "Show me your power/Well, what now?" "Useless" "Now witness true power/Welcome oblivion" "Heal this!" "Give up yet? Is that it?" "Foolish boy." "Behold the power of darkness" "It's over/Surrender." "My skills...have failed me..."
WHATS THE SCORE NOW RIKU?! 'looks at the score which shows me and a mere 3 while Riku is at 50 with 30 more added to Riku's score as a result of this fight' dammit all!!!!!!!!!!!

The way the comment was worded, at least to me anyway, seemed like you were implying it was possible to go into this battle without cure at all
oh my bad. yeah its when your low on mp. sorry about that.
What about leaf bracer.
As I was saying, the kingdom-key is not sora's base keyblade. The Dream-Sword is. The base keyblade comes to you in the Dive to The Heart usually. *Spoilers* For Sora it was the dream sword, for Riku it was the Soul-Eater (according to interviews with Nomura), for Xehanort it could have been the Aerial-blade like weapons he used in BBS, for Roxas it could have been the struggle-bat (ok, that one is a little far fetched).
That moment you studied hard for that one test late in the semester but it’s not anything you prepared for
Yea this game was hard as a kid, but this fight, this fight was basically everyone’s wake up call that the game isn’t messing around anymore and is about to get way more challenging
I actually hope this theme comes back to KH3 Both nostalgic and epic not to reuse it
You can see into the future because it happens!

Oh boy past version of you....
THE PROPHECY
IT HAS BEEN FULFILLED
Bruh
Keyblade of Hearts is one half of the X-Blade. Ansem went about collecting 7 Lights while Xemnas went about collecting 13 Darknesses. Sora interrupted Ansem before he could completely forge the Light half of the X-Blade, by defeating him before he could forge Kairi's Heart into it.
" Don't you see yet the princesses heart is responding, Kairi's heart rests within you! "Kairi's inside me?"
Fighting him on proud mode for ps2 was my worst nightmare
Come open your heart...
the amount of frustration and hours accumulated fighting riku. I'm SO glad he's on Sora's side now.
When Riku defeated Ansem, he returned to the true Dreaming Worlds because Ansem's power was what made him a Dream Eater. In this game, we found out that Ansem was a freaking powerful being.
"YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA YA, SURRENDER YOUR HEART TO DARKNESS"
Oh god.
You need the glide ability to dodge that
It was one of the most confusing things emotionally as a kid to fight Riku. It's so terrifying to have to fight your best friend and this music helps that idea, but there is also the part that Riku is willing to be on the side of darkness which makes it so hard to understand. Of course it's mostly revealed what happened, but before knowing was really intense.
The funny thing of all this is that there's a place at the botton left of the field where you cannot be damaged by the dark aura, like a gap in the attack scheme or a bug in the game... realized after been murdered by Riku thousands of times XD
"The Princess's heart is responding! It has been there all along. Kairi's heart rests within you!"
"It is I, Ansem, the seeker of darkness!"
"So, I shall release you now, Princess. Complete the Keyhole with your power. Open the door! Lead me into everlasting darkness!"
" *I'M UNSTOPPABLE!*
*YOU LIKE IT?!*
*WHO'S STRONGER?!*
*I'M DONE WITH YOU!*
*TRY AGAIN!*
*LATER!*
*D A R K N E S S!* "
*ONE MORE!*
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW POWERFUL I AM!
Here it comes!!
Heal from THIS!!
Come, open your hearts to Darkness!!!
Show me your power!
My skills have failed me...
Welcome oblivion!
DominionWolf show me your power
prince vegeta Already did that. Sorry. :\
You thought the fight on the island was bad? He was just giving you a taste. Riku has ALWAYS been a beast.
"SUMMIT!" -Ansem. Is what first pops into my head when I hear this piece
You spelled submit wrong.
And you're missing a few syllables.
Favorite part is 0:45 to 0:55
Mine too :)
same
It screams, fighting a best friend...a brother I once knew...
Riku: Teleport spam
Me at the edge where he can't hit me:
👁👄👁
"Behold the power of darkness"
me too until i found a way not to get hit,which took me forever to realize that there is this one spot where he's not coming through when he uses the move he always used to beat me with.
I played through the game like 2 weeks ago and i actually never thought i would beat Dragon maleficent and possesed riku both in one go
Wish this song was in Smash with Sora but hey ho not to be sadly
It took me 8 years to realize that the head to the keyblade that Riku/Ansem is wielding has a missing heart as an outline.
Putting 2 and 2 together, I guess it represents the fact that the keyblade was forged from the Princesses of Heart's hearts and that there's one heart missing; Kairi's.
This song is perfect for both the tone, and difficulty of this boss.
I kind of miss that Keyblade I was hoping they would have bring it back but nope I guess they wouldn't have to since almost any keyblade unlock anyone's heart it seems like
it also has too high requirements to be made when compared to the reward
I'm surprised this track, or more specifically it's I.5 remix wasn't included in Smash
This song was robbed from being in Super Smash Bros
This famous battle return in KH3 !
Riku: Open your heart to darkness
Me: *internal screeching*
Sora: Aaaaou
Screen: Continue / Load Game
My nightmare when I was a kid.. This was the hardest boss I had ever fought in any video game
Night Rise
...fast forward to the sephiroph fights and the lingering will fight...
Comrade Dolman And Young Xehanort in Birth by Sleep... This would be the first but it definitely wasn’t the last hardest boss I’d face and defeat :/
I swear I've had that entire cutscene memorized at some point cuz I died so many times.
1:30-1:40
2:53-3:04 Those parts of the song are always stuck in my head
"Show me your power!"
*hits his blade*
"Useless."
"Come, Guardian!"
"Submit!"
"You insolent little...!"
"My strength returns."
"Come, open your heart."
"What do you hope to accomplish?"
Do not deny your fear
The FINAL Darkness is nigh!
Me: this boss is actually pretty hard.
My first ex: no he's not. *Was on standard and was over leveled*
Me: *was underleved and on proud.* Huh.
The picture is so weird and yet epic at the same time. How can this be?
*_*Uses strike raid*_*_ XD_
You hear it twice. Once against Ansem in Hollow Bastion and once against Ansem at World's End.
oh my god i remember this fight like it was yesterday! this battle was amazing!
"Come"
"Here it comes!"
"Show me your power/Well, what now?"
"Useless"
"Now witness true power/Welcome oblivion"
"Heal this!"
"Give up yet? Is that it?"
"Foolish boy."
"Behold the power of darkness"
"It's over/Surrender."
"My skills...have failed me..."
This should have been in Ultimate.
Here it comes! Here it comes! Is that it? Show me your power! Heal this!
Sora: The fk is this music
Riku: Fight mah Bitch
*Sora gets Bitch slapped*
Sora: Shit just got real
Nice meme
That keyblade looks sharp as hell. lol
cohesionfield No wonder why every attack does so much damage
Kairi...Kairi's Inside Me?
My strength return. What does your heart desire? Do not deny it. Final Darkness is at hand.
~Ansem.
