I love how when she fights she does it relentlessly. She closes the distance fast and doesn’t give the enemy enough time to react. It was evident when she fought Xemnas that he was caught by surprise and panicked. Too bad Xehanort has an inhuman reaction speed
Kairi is a technical fighter the way she uses her keyblade with the limited training she's good but if she gets more traing she can be stronger than sora honestly
Well she maybe supposed to be stronger than Sora as she is a Princess of Heart If a Keyblade can weaponize a Heart into power than someone like Kairi would have immense potential
She's honestly good, she just needs more real-life experience, since trainings can only do so much. The reason why other keyblade wielders are strong are due to their experiences. Now I want to see a whole new game with her as the main character that actually focuses on her fighting enemies.
Consider how Yensid and Xehanort are technically just regular people and yet they can do such powerful feats. Imagine what a Princess of Heart, literal fragments of the X-Blade, can do when trained to the same level. A veteran Master Kairi would be utterly terrifying in battle, essentially a world destroying cataclysm in human form.
Considering that he killed her once, and not to mention everything else he did, it’s honestly completely understandable. But still, of all the characters I thought would actively want to genuinely kill someone, I wasn’t expecting it to be Kairi.
It amazes me that Xehanort is over 80 years old but, is still so physically strong and capable to fight like he was in his prime. I mean first time we see him is in Birth By Sleep and the dude grabs Ventus (who is in full armor) by the head, lifting him one handed, squeezing so tightly he cracks the helmet of the armor before freezing and then dropping Ventus off a cliff. And now against Kairi he's catching her Keyblade bare handed, lifting her up and throwing her around like a rag doll, and even pushing her back single handed when their Keyblades clash.
It’s nothing short of an amazing, and I heard he is supposed to 90 in KH3. It is unbelievable at how he can actually move that fast and has an ‘impossible’ strength.

Even though xehanort seemed to "hold back" against kairi, it's nice to see her growth. Unlike all the characters, she is the one with the least amount of fighting experience (and not keyblade experience, considering she has just a little more than Axel/Lea since we see kairi fighting a few heartless by the end of KH2). So, it's quite alright that she can't beat Xehanort, the biggest schemer and antagonist of the whole series on her own.

@@UchaNekome Yeah, and i seriously thought that even though he is a beginner as a keyblade wielder, his past as an assassin in the organisation would grant him better fighting ability, guess not

@@Diablo30300 Well he was still using a weapon he wasn’t entirely familiar with, and he was going up against some of the heaviest hitters in the organization, so it makes sense that he lost imo.

The girl has talent. Honestly every move she made is percised and unwasted, but what's the point of making sure you hit your enemy if you don't have the strength to overpower them? That is what she lacking. Throw in a little unpredictablity (not the Sora rescue) and she can be a real force to be reckoned with.
@@keauntebishop8 Nop. Aqua and Larxene are extremely cool and badass. Namine is really nice and Xion while being an undeniable Mary-Sue is still an endearing character. Kairi simply sucks, even the female characters from Union X are better written than her.
It's wild because the battle between Keyblade wielders is also strength of hearts, so the fact a princess of heart was holding her own with training under her belt against a man with strong ambitions whose heart rivaled quite a lot of powerful people is quite surprising. Then again Xehanort was just holding back and if he truly got serious this scenario wouldn't of ended the same. Still I'm hoping on a game with Kairi where Sora doesn't need to play knight in shining armor since she can hold her own very well. Now just imagine guidance by Master Aqua? She'd have phenomenal amounts of potential unlocked.
The thing is Kairi is no fighter fighting was never her thing she helped Sora a lot not because she fought but because of her power she saved Sora when he is a heartless and she helped him stay alive in the final world it’s okay if Sora helped her fight but to be honest she need to be in more games and needs more screen time and her own game
I'm very much aware of her abilities of revival and such, but my point is if Kairi steps up and fights I'd be glad, however managing to ward off Xehanort was a bit much imo, especially with how much stronger his heart is where the power of waking was needed in the final confrontation of KHIII. She shows skill even Xehanort mentioned that, so hopefully Aqua can bring said potential out within her given the chance Terra is included Kairi will be a force to be reckoned with.
Well she isn't fully strong enough to beat him on his own she was trained well but not good enough this is where aqua comes in to help kairi gain more skills
You do realize as soon as master xehanort pulled out his keyblade it was game over for her. However she did get acknowledged for her technique, the only people xehanort has acknowledged by either strength or technique was Terra all the way back in birth by sleep, and when eraqus managed to get him to give up the x-blade where he complimented sora. So him acknowledging her technique is huge but he’s still leagues above her in power.
i mean she still need more trining you cant expect her to defeat xehanort even if its not really him, but she could take a really strong heartless by her own probably and probably a few members of the original organization XIII, sora did beat them when he was still young and not too much experienced.
@@dantekenway7900 Think of it this way, In the DLC for KHIII, he was already a teen when talking to the Master of Masters. Maybe early to mid teens. then the next scene shows 75 years later, so tecnically late 80's early 90's.
@@dantekenway7900 well if you want to be real technical xehanort as his own direct individual self he technically spent those 10 years directly as a wondering walking heart ❤️ aka his alter change ego ANSEM SOD and yes as a walking heart he was still latching off of terra’s youth aka the guardian that held terra strong heart keeping xehanort from literally aging obviously while he robbed riku of his body as well! To make his first artificial form based on his old spitting self before possession So when you really think about it xehanort himself pretty much was the first replica artificial being but as a heartless before the replica thing happened!!!! Mean while the piece of himself he left behind became a complete different half individual with his motive ambition aka the body he possessed and cast away aka terra’s body empty vessel Xemnas
Kairi's Style seems to be her own unique flair on how Sora fights, heck her stance is basically another version of Sora! If that isn't proof SoKai is real, then I don't know what is.
She saved everyone by saving sora, protect both axel and Namine, the only one who break xemnass blades and help sora to beat xehanort. Not even aqua or xion did what she did wrf r u talking about?
@@vanity1387 haters will always find reasons to hat i just try to ignore them besises in this moment technically kairi is still fighting xehanort they're one heart and im sure nomura will talk about this more down the road
1.restored Sora's human form in KH1 2.Thanks to her connection with sora and Riku her letter helped them escape the realm of darkness 3.Kept Sora alive,that's how sora traveled back in time and saved everyone else. 4.Beat the fusion of the xehanort replicas with sora,and helped the others escape from the keyholes the replicas trapped them in. 5.found one of the clues to save sora,and we got new Informationen about the other Universe. The useless shit is such BS.
@@stampoulisrafail7836 recom the memory of kairi saved sora namine took the form of kairi to save riku 358 kairi's memory was the key to sora's awakening
@@vanity1387 Are you referring to the DLC? Haven't bought it yet but I'm glad she had more to do there. In the original game, she does barely anything other than get snatched by Xemnas and killed by Xehanort. Still rubs me the wrong way that we have to buy DLC to get the 'complete' final level but I digress. Aqua's power has been established many times over: she's beaten Vanitas numerous times and even defeated Terranort in BBS, so having her mostly side-lined in 3 was forgivable, if a bit disappointing.
I think Kairi did very well. She may not be a strong as Sora and Riku. But remember that Xehanort is a Keyblade Master. And she did stand her ground until the end.
You know, I do think Kairi honestly did as well as she could of. Her natural skill with the keyblade is honestly astonishing. Of course, since she was fighting Xehanort, one of the most powerful Keyblade wielders, she could only do so much against him, and what she did do, was honestly very good. I’m not gonna get my hopes up too much, but I see her potentially becoming one of the most powerful keyblade wielders out there.
Seriously it's almost like the way Kairi takes Sora's form and Keyblade to beat Xehanort is SE's way of saying "Lol Kairi is weak without Sora, don't be silly".
Ikr. Ik she cannot defeat an evil dark master by herself, even in her memories, and she'll need help, but the Kingdom Key appearing in her hand to guard her without her knowing felt like a perfect enough symbolism. She could have fought in her body with the help of Sora's Keyblade in hand, that way it would feel more natural, she's learning and going at it while Sora's still awaiting her though alternative means
I don't feel that it's gonna be like that, they showed sora in her imagination because she feels that she can't defeat xehanort alone, that she still needs training and that's why in the ending she didn't go with Riku and said that she needed to become stronger under Aqua's teachings, both Kairi and Lea lost right away in the Keyboade Graveyard, their training wasn't good enough to handle the bigger threats, I'm pretty sure she's gonna find her own strength, this game was just to show Kairi's state of mind evolve bit by bit and show what's gonna happen in the future
@@ricardocardoso1001 I like that. This is her memory. Her mind. Sora could take her over because she’s not confident in her own powers and abilities. She still feels that she needs Sora to protect her. I do believe that we will get a Kairi game in the future. But MoM was amazing
Honestly, I find that they had Sora literally replacing Kairi absolutely disgusting. If they wanted to show the connection between Sora and Kairi and that Kairi gets her strengh from Sora, they could of had an apperation appear behind her like when Micky was shooting that giant keyhole in KH re-mind DLC, but no, they literally robbed Kairi of a chance to develop as a charicter and face her fears head on And I'm not saying Kairi could beat Xehanort alone. In my scenario she is still relying on support from Sora, just in a much less disrespectful manner. I also think it's worth noting that while Sora did do most of the work, Kairi was able to put up a good fight in Re:mind against goat armour Xehanort, a foe stronger than any other seekers of darkness that the gaurdians of light struggled against. So she can definitely fight pretty well
I really love this cutscene, the choreography, the music and the voice acting! But I think it would be better if Kairi had fought Xehanort by herself instead of Sora coming to help...yes it fits thematically that they're connected and that Kairi isn't that strong yet, but Sora could still have appear after Kairi fought him ingame and land the final blow or something like this. However, I can't wait to see what Nomura planned for Kairi and for the other characters in the future
Am I the only one who noticed that the voice of xehanort sounds abit more like Leonard Nemoy now? Like they actually got someone who can kinda do his voice?!
1:17 nice backflip if Kairi was announced for smash as the next dlc since she wanted to train more to get stronger and having her going against the best of the best the salt will rise and HOES WILL GO MAD like the hero sorry I was just kidding so don’t take this seriously
I miss Leonard Nemoy, but this new xehanort voice is awesome too! Nemoy is still number one in my heart but you gotta admit this new voice actor did “remarkably well” as Xehanort.
In Back to the Future, Christopher Lloyd based some of his movements from conductor Leopold Stokowski who conducted the musical selections for Fantasia. Now you hear him mention the name of Yen Sid. The circle is now complete! Lol
No cap... Xehanort is like the Sephiroth of the series... loses because he's the bad guy but truly the best fighter. It's like when Tifa tried Seph in the series
Kairi is what I call the Queen of Queens, Ruler of Badasses, The Empress of all Emperors and The Black Cat. Finally she gets to shine. And I hope she continues to shine in future games
I see people complaining about Sora stealing Kairi's spotlight, and that this was suppose to be her moment. And I do agree that Kairi should have a moment of badassery, but I have to point out something. Even if Sora didn't get summoned and even though this wasn't the real Xehanort, you all are acting like Kairi had a chance to win. I'm being realistic, Kairi literally has NO chance against Xehanort at her current skill level. Xehanort far outclasses and outmatches Kairi in Power and Magic and although, yes, Kairi did do very well in the initial battle and this is not the real Xehanort, it is clear from the exchange that Xehanort was merely toying with Kairi and not putting any real effort into their battle. Although you might disagree, Kairi would NOT have won against Xehanort if it wasn't for Sora. And you seem to be forgetting something about Kingdom Hearts, it's that the whole concept of the series is that my friends are my power, literally and spiritually. It's about having friends at your side at every ordeal and not doing anything alone.
pretty sure kairi loses to pretty much any serious villain. MAYBE she can take some of the weaker organization members but any incarnation of xehanort really will wipe the floor with her
Lol at the end of the day, there is no point for Kairi to fight her figment of imagination but to just let out her frustration, and look, she still failed. 😂
"I have had enough of this!" - The angriest I've ever heard Kairi and probably my favorite line in this cutscene. Kairi gets so little room to talk and develop her character that it's actually refreshing to listen to her interact with an enemy directly. Pretty much all of her lines in the past games are very small monologues and responses to other people talking to her. When she actually gets to speak her mind, show anger or a powerful resolve, use clever techniques such as the fake-out attack during this cutscene, That's when Kairi's character starts to shine. And then Sora shows up and steals her spotlight. Makes me picture someone Else at SE is writing this scene and then Nomura walks up and is like "You know, this actually isn't that bad. Let me just make one small adjustment." and boom, Sora appears.
CAN WE PLEASE JUST GIVE KAIRI A F****** WIN ALREADY!?!?!, she's played the damsel in distress for too long. I love my boy Sora as much as the next KH fan, but come on already. I get that they wanted to make a point of their bond "transcending space and time", but they could have done it WAY better than Sora saving her AGAIN.
Honestly, I find that they had Sora literally replacing Kairi absolutely disgusting.

Or even better in your scenario, Sora reflecting off the water below them when he comes to "support" Kairi, an allegory of "on the other side" as that's literally where he is.
xehanort causes her to suffer just as his heartless did to riku mickey saved him atleast 3 times he even said at one point riku fight don't let him win i believe she will confront this memory again
@@yaboigamerdouji7573 ive also seen fans compare belle being captured by xaldin and xemnas capturing kairi but there positions are different xaldin tried to gamble with belle and the rose plus he was distracted as sora and beast charged xemnas on the other hand grabbed kairi by the wrist with a tight grip making sure she can't escape
@@stampoulisrafail7836 she was on the cover of the game, you’d think she’d have more relevance by that alone. but she gets like what 20 minutes of screentime and it’s mostly her being pushed off again. most of MoM was her recapping the entire story like... thats not what you expect when the character is advertised everywhere on the front of the game
@@valkkei Its almost like we were explictly told that kairi was just a narrator and not to expect anything, this game was a setup for kairi's game lmao
The fact that people were annoyed that Kairi, who has less than a year of training nor even had her keyblade for more than a year, was unable to beat Xehanort, who had 70+ years of experience and managed to beat King Mickey (who has 10+ years more training and experience than Kairi) and Sora who is a prodigy and possibly the strongest keyblade wielder alive (who mind you only got beaten by Xehanort at first cause he acted in emotion and wasn't clear headed due to grief and exhaustion having just fought in every fight in the Keyblade Graveyard). Oh course Kairi wasn't going to beat him, she is a badass glass cannon and had tons of potential and obvious talent already but lacks the skill gained through experience like Sora and Riku to develop quicker than others who were trained traditionally. Kairi managed to fight and even seemed like a challenge to Xehanort at points and I am so proud of her for that, but she can't go running into fights with more experienced fighters like Xehanort or the possibility of dangers in Quadratum with Riku without getting battle experience first.
It ticks me off so much when Xehanort just grabs her keyblade and she just tries to pull it away. Even when YX did it with Sora in toy story world, it’s soooo annoying! They can summon the keyblade and make it disappear! Why aren’t you guys doing that?!
Most likely because Kairi has very little actual combat experience. She first got her keyblade at the end of KH2, fighting heartless shadows, the level of heartless Sora was fighting back at the beginning of KH1. Then she was sent to Merlin for some training and the only opponent she had was Lea. She looks like she's a technical fighter, sticking to the "rules" of fighting, whereas Sora and Riku are largely self-taught fighters who developed their own techniques and tricks. Kairi looks like she's currently at where Sora was at the end of KH1, or close to the end. She has some training but no real hard fought experience the way her boy does. But her getting training with Aqua will likely change all that.
Seriously? I've been playing these games for thirteen years. Just give Kairi a real chance to be a badass. I don't care about some training plot, let her beat some bad guys and come out as a champion! Not this weird stuff where Sora has to possess her.
@@laststrike4411 Though that scene was utterly delightful, it was rather ephemeral. Having her possessed by Sora in her own game is wretched and being playable for one (excellent) boss fight is not nearly enough time. Let her be a consistent, payable badass without overshadowing her, especially at the last second.
Demetrius Martin Aqua did beat Xeahnort in terra’s body who was the strongest. They could’ve gave kairi sora’s kingdom key and defeat Xeahnort in this game
@@MrBGP006 dude she's been a warrior for 5 minutes... even axel couldn't bear xemnas but Kairi is on aquas and sora level? Even the ending said she'd finish training under aqua so she's not even a master or master level yet 🙄 😒
After seeing everyone get keyblades I started questioning wth is even special about the kingdom key anymore. I ended up concluding that since it chooses its master- it's the only keyblade that can be summoned back at will. By this, I mean most keyblade wielders should only be able to summon their keyblade not return it back if someone else decides to steal it. Take for example the boss fight between sora and Roxas in KH2- in that boss fight, sora can steal oathkeeper and oblivion from Roxas. Roxas can't summon them back either when Sora does it- he needs to physically steal them back. He's even surprised at the end when cornering sora when sora decides to summon his keyblade back from being trapped by Roxas with Oathkeeper. He's shocked as in his mind Sora shouldn't be able to do that. But after seeing this fight between kairi and xehanort and seeing her do the same thing that I thought the only sora could do as the keyblade's chosen makes me think there acc nothing special about the kingdom key anymore- a matter of fact its utter shit cause no other keyblade chooses its master the way the kingdom key does. Take for example kh1 when riku-ansem steals the kingdom key from sora. Because no other keyblade chooses its master its not possible for other keyblades to decide that their wielder isn't good enough and stick to the next best user for it but if the kingdom key finds someone "better" to wield it- it will fucking ditch sora in a heart beat like it did in kh1. The kingdom key is a dick.
I’m rather confused on Xehanorts intentions here? Was his intentions to draw Sora out so he could be certain where his heart is, or was he actually trying to hurt Kairi? It more so seems to me that he was actually trying to help here. I think it was sweet of him to even compliment her skills. Xehanort is my favorite character and although his saga has ended I hope we still see some version of him help along this journey like this.
Kairi *learned* after being kidnapped so many times: Keep. Switching. HANDS.
Interesting about Kairi's fighting style. It's very trained; like following a rulebook to the letter, and not trying to take liberties by experimenting. Sora has no problem using other people's weapons and environments, while Riku uses his own dark magic and strength. Kairi seems to rely on technique and singular training.
We're likely to see more of this is the future too since she'll now be training under Aqua.
Its clearly showing she's trained and ready to fight, she just needs experience and seasoning like the other keyblade weilders
I mean, she still has her own flourishes. Specifically her willingness to use the Keyblade's ability to disappear in order to gain a surprise upper hand on her opponent and to circumvent some of the issues with having it physical all the time.
@@callianr6980 Riku does that too. Also, isn't that basically what Strike Raid is?
Sora and Riku are self taught so it makes sense that they have their own style.

The girl has talent. Honestly every move she made is percised and unwasted, but what's the point of making sure you hit your enemy if you don't have the strength to overpower them? That is what she lacking. Throw in a little unpredictablity (not the Sora rescue) and she can be a real force to be reckoned with.
she did alredy something that any of the other wilders did too much, taking advantage of the keyblade teleportation.
I think she wasted her strength to fight a figment of her imagination. I get it that she did it out frustration but then even so-
sora clearly doesn't need his voice to kick xehanort's butt, again
The fact that Xehanort complimented her skill speaks volumes
Kairi fans will latch onto anything 😂
@@nikiardo and you nerds spend so much time without a woman..yall hate all female characters for absolutely no reason
@@keauntebishop8 Nop. Aqua and Larxene are extremely cool and badass. Namine is really nice and Xion while being an undeniable Mary-Sue is still an endearing character.
Kairi simply sucks, even the female characters from Union X are better written than her.
Oh yea you just bias 😅@nikiardo
@@keauntebishop8 Can you call it bias when the games literally prove me right? Kairi is a poorly written and underdeveloped character.
For a trainee, Kairi held her own really well.
It's wild because the battle between Keyblade wielders is also strength of hearts, so the fact a princess of heart was holding her own with training under her belt against a man with strong ambitions whose heart rivaled quite a lot of powerful people is quite surprising. Then again Xehanort was just holding back and if he truly got serious this scenario wouldn't of ended the same.
Still I'm hoping on a game with Kairi where Sora doesn't need to play knight in shining armor since she can hold her own very well. Now just imagine guidance by Master Aqua? She'd have phenomenal amounts of potential unlocked.
The thing is Kairi is no fighter fighting was never her thing she helped Sora a lot not because she fought but because of her power she saved Sora when he is a heartless and she helped him stay alive in the final world it’s okay if Sora helped her fight but to be honest she need to be in more games and needs more screen time and her own game
I'm very much aware of her abilities of revival and such, but my point is if Kairi steps up and fights I'd be glad, however managing to ward off Xehanort was a bit much imo, especially with how much stronger his heart is where the power of waking was needed in the final confrontation of KHIII. She shows skill even Xehanort mentioned that, so hopefully Aqua can bring said potential out within her given the chance Terra is included Kairi will be a force to be reckoned with.
So Terra, Ventus and Aqua are not enough for his amusement tortures, Now he messes with Sora and Kairi and riku....talk about old man's decency
I was legitimately excited when Kairi summoned the Kingdom Key, only to realize it was Sora. Damn it, just let Kairi stand on her own for once!
Well she isn't fully strong enough to beat him on his own she was trained well but not good enough this is where aqua comes in to help kairi gain more skills
You do realize as soon as master xehanort pulled out his keyblade it was game over for her. However she did get acknowledged for her technique, the only people xehanort has acknowledged by either strength or technique was Terra all the way back in birth by sleep, and when eraqus managed to get him to give up the x-blade where he complimented sora. So him acknowledging her technique is huge but he’s still leagues above her in power.
i mean she still need more trining you cant expect her to defeat xehanort even if its not really him, but she could take a really strong heartless by her own probably and probably a few members of the original organization XIII, sora did beat them when he was still young and not too much experienced.
are u sure that was sora
I expected it to be xion... then got immediately disappointed
Ok but Kiari literally tried killing this man at 2:31
He literally sliced her in the back. I don't blame her.
@@AGJ117 Honestly same! Im glad we get to see her try to beat the hell out of Xehanort. She hates him for sure
@@AGJ117 He killed her twice. so yes, i would kill him too
Already better than sora lmao
Ayo I mean what did she say?
"I have had enough of this!"
She not playing with this old man vain head.
Xehanort's very agile for a man in his early 90's.
isn't he technically 80 since he spent about 10 years as Terra?
@@dantekenway7900 Think of it this way, In the DLC for KHIII, he was already a teen when talking to the Master of Masters. Maybe early to mid teens. then the next scene shows 75 years later, so tecnically late 80's early 90's.
Yeah but this one a memory
@@dantekenway7900 well if you want to be real technical xehanort as his own direct individual self he technically spent those 10 years directly as a wondering walking heart ❤️ aka his alter change ego ANSEM SOD and yes as a walking heart he was still latching off of terra’s youth aka the guardian that held terra strong heart keeping xehanort from literally aging obviously while he robbed riku of his body as well! To make his first artificial form based on his old spitting self before possession
So when you really think about it xehanort himself pretty much was the first replica artificial being but as a heartless before the replica thing happened!!!!
Mean while the piece of himself he left behind became a complete different half individual with his motive ambition aka the body he possessed and cast away aka terra’s body empty vessel Xemnas
Kairi's Style seems to be her own unique flair on how Sora fights, heck her stance is basically another version of Sora! If that isn't proof SoKai is real, then I don't know what is.
I was mad that Kairi ended up being pretty useless in KH3 but this was dope. Now just give us a training arc with Aqua.
She saved everyone by saving sora, protect both axel and Namine, the only one who break xemnass blades and help sora to beat xehanort. Not even aqua or xion did what she did wrf r u talking about?
@@vanity1387 haters will always find reasons to hat i just try to ignore them besises in this moment technically kairi is still fighting xehanort they're one heart and im sure nomura will talk about this more down the road
1.restored Sora's human form in KH1
2.Thanks to her connection with sora and Riku her letter helped them escape the realm of darkness
3.Kept Sora alive,that's how sora traveled back in time and saved everyone else.
4.Beat the fusion of the xehanort replicas with sora,and helped the others escape from the keyholes the replicas trapped them in.
5.found one of the clues to save sora,and we got new Informationen about the other Universe.
The useless shit is such BS.
@@stampoulisrafail7836 recom the memory of kairi saved sora namine took the form of kairi to save riku 358 kairi's memory was the key to sora's awakening
@@vanity1387 Are you referring to the DLC? Haven't bought it yet but I'm glad she had more to do there. In the original game, she does barely anything other than get snatched by Xemnas and killed by Xehanort. Still rubs me the wrong way that we have to buy DLC to get the 'complete' final level but I digress.
Aqua's power has been established many times over: she's beaten Vanitas numerous times and even defeated Terranort in BBS, so having her mostly side-lined in 3 was forgivable, if a bit disappointing.
This more like when Aqua attacked Ansem with no keyblade
And conveniently forgot her Magic.
I think Kairi did very well. She may not be a strong as Sora and Riku. But remember that Xehanort is a Keyblade Master. And she did stand her ground until the end.
"As I thought, your voice can't reach us here. Now I'm certain of where your heart is"... AAAAAA FORESHADOWING!!
Call me crazy, but when I played this while in Mute mode, I swear that I could actually hear Leonard Nimoy voicing Master Xehanort in my head
You know, I do think Kairi honestly did as well as she could of. Her natural skill with the keyblade is honestly astonishing. Of course, since she was fighting Xehanort, one of the most powerful Keyblade wielders, she could only do so much against him, and what she did do, was honestly very good. I’m not gonna get my hopes up too much, but I see her potentially becoming one of the most powerful keyblade wielders out there.
The animation quality is so amazing in this game compared to 3!
Also, it’s interesting to see Kairi so angry. Which is entirely understandable, considering everything he’s done, not to mention killing her.
Even as a memory Master Xehanort is still a badass!!
Seriously it's almost like the way Kairi takes Sora's form and Keyblade to beat Xehanort is SE's way of saying "Lol Kairi is weak without Sora, don't be silly".
Ikr. Ik she cannot defeat an evil dark master by herself, even in her memories, and she'll need help, but the Kingdom Key appearing in her hand to guard her without her knowing felt like a perfect enough symbolism. She could have fought in her body with the help of Sora's Keyblade in hand, that way it would feel more natural, she's learning and going at it while Sora's still awaiting her though alternative means
@@lowhp_comic I agree with that.
I don't feel that it's gonna be like that, they showed sora in her imagination because she feels that she can't defeat xehanort alone, that she still needs training and that's why in the ending she didn't go with Riku and said that she needed to become stronger under Aqua's teachings, both Kairi and Lea lost right away in the Keyboade Graveyard, their training wasn't good enough to handle the bigger threats, I'm pretty sure she's gonna find her own strength, this game was just to show Kairi's state of mind evolve bit by bit and show what's gonna happen in the future
@@ricardocardoso1001 I like that. This is her memory. Her mind. Sora could take her over because she’s not confident in her own powers and abilities. She still feels that she needs Sora to protect her. I do believe that we will get a Kairi game in the future. But MoM was amazing
Honestly, I find that they had Sora literally replacing Kairi absolutely disgusting. If they wanted to show the connection between Sora and Kairi and that Kairi gets her strengh from Sora, they could of had an apperation appear behind her like when Micky was shooting that giant keyhole in KH re-mind DLC, but no, they literally robbed Kairi of a chance to develop as a charicter and face her fears head on
And I'm not saying Kairi could beat Xehanort alone. In my scenario she is still relying on support from Sora, just in a much less disrespectful manner. I also think it's worth noting that while Sora did do most of the work, Kairi was able to put up a good fight in Re:mind against goat armour Xehanort, a foe stronger than any other seekers of darkness that the gaurdians of light struggled against. So she can definitely fight pretty well
What makes it funnier is that the Xehanort in Remind and MoM is voiced by Christopher Lloyd [Doc Brown from Back To The Future]
Don't forget Hacker and Rasputin and Judge Doom.
YOU CAN DO IT!
xehanort doesn't even need to use his keyblade to block kairi's attack... bruh
Kairi is amazing!
I like the part where kairi said "Sora you'll protect me" that was cute 😭
I really love this cutscene, the choreography, the music and the voice acting! But I think it would be better if Kairi had fought Xehanort by herself instead of Sora coming to help...yes it fits thematically that they're connected and that Kairi isn't that strong yet, but Sora could still have appear after Kairi fought him ingame and land the final blow or something like this.
However, I can't wait to see what Nomura planned for Kairi and for the other characters in the future
Am I the only one who noticed that the voice of xehanort sounds abit more like Leonard Nemoy now? Like they actually got someone who can kinda do his voice?!
It's legendary actor Christopher Lloyd doing Xehanort now
1:17 nice backflip if Kairi was announced for smash as the next dlc since she wanted to train more to get stronger and having her going against the best of the best the salt will rise and HOES WILL GO MAD like the hero sorry I was just kidding so don’t take this seriously
I miss Leonard Nemoy, but this new xehanort voice is awesome too! Nemoy is still number one in my heart but you gotta admit this new voice actor did “remarkably well” as Xehanort.
It’s Christopher Lloyd from back to the future
In Back to the Future, Christopher Lloyd based some of his movements from conductor Leopold Stokowski who conducted the musical selections for Fantasia. Now you hear him mention the name of Yen Sid. The circle is now complete! Lol
No cap... Xehanort is like the Sephiroth of the series... loses because he's the bad guy but truly the best fighter. It's like when Tifa tried Seph in the series
Kairi is what I call the Queen of Queens, Ruler of Badasses, The Empress of all Emperors and The Black Cat. Finally she gets to shine. And I hope she continues to shine in future games
I dunno. The damage has already been done. Kingdom Hearts should get a reboot to fix everything.
not while were this far into the franchise@@uchihashuji3449
I absolutely love Christopher Lloyd as Xehanort. Nimoy's great but I feel like Lloyd is the quintessential Xehanort.
Same. This is basically as close to either Judge Doom (Roger Rabbit) or Merlock (from Ducktales) as we'll get at this point
Sometimes he sounds like an older version of Pooh Bear
Wow..kairi you go girl!!!
That was epic. :)
I see people complaining about Sora stealing Kairi's spotlight, and that this was suppose to be her moment. And I do agree that Kairi should have a moment of badassery, but I have to point out something. Even if Sora didn't get summoned and even though this wasn't the real Xehanort, you all are acting like Kairi had a chance to win. I'm being realistic, Kairi literally has NO chance against Xehanort at her current skill level. Xehanort far outclasses and outmatches Kairi in Power and Magic and although, yes, Kairi did do very well in the initial battle and this is not the real Xehanort, it is clear from the exchange that Xehanort was merely toying with Kairi and not putting any real effort into their battle. Although you might disagree, Kairi would NOT have won against Xehanort if it wasn't for Sora. And you seem to be forgetting something about Kingdom Hearts, it's that the whole concept of the series is that my friends are my power, literally and spiritually. It's about having friends at your side at every ordeal and not doing anything alone.
That's a good way to put it
pretty sure kairi loses to pretty much any serious villain. MAYBE she can take some of the weaker organization members but any incarnation of xehanort really will wipe the floor with her
GO KAIRI AAAAAAAAAAAA
Fun fact: We haven’t seen Master Xehanort in the Organization coat since the beginning of Birth By Sleep
Let’s hope they’ll bring him back.
He just keeps manhandling her keyblade.
2:21
"I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS!"
Yeah that's right, get that vain head
sora and kairi are fighting as one or have you guys forgotten the time riku transformed into ansem
Kairi is kinda hot and feisty when she's fighting Master Xehanort, I like a strong determined girl!
If y’all really wanna see Kairi kicking ass watch Dead Fantasy. You’re welcome.
Lol at the end of the day, there is no point for Kairi to fight her figment of imagination but to just let out her frustration, and look, she still failed. 😂
"I have had enough of this!" - The angriest I've ever heard Kairi and probably my favorite line in this cutscene. Kairi gets so little room to talk and develop her character that it's actually refreshing to listen to her interact with an enemy directly. Pretty much all of her lines in the past games are very small monologues and responses to other people talking to her. When she actually gets to speak her mind, show anger or a powerful resolve, use clever techniques such as the fake-out attack during this cutscene, That's when Kairi's character starts to shine.
And then Sora shows up and steals her spotlight. Makes me picture someone Else at SE is writing this scene and then Nomura walks up and is like "You know, this actually isn't that bad. Let me just make one small adjustment." and boom, Sora appears.
With that voice actor, all I can think is Darth Winnie the Pooh.
NOT EVEN IN YOUR DREAMS KAIRI
Wow.
CAN WE PLEASE JUST GIVE KAIRI A F****** WIN ALREADY!?!?!, she's played the damsel in distress for too long. I love my boy Sora as much as the next KH fan, but come on already. I get that they wanted to make a point of their bond "transcending space and time", but they could have done it WAY better than Sora saving her AGAIN.
I like Kairi and I don't care if she's controversial. Not all girls fight.
Kairi rules!!!
Honestly, I find that they had Sora literally replacing Kairi absolutely disgusting. If they wanted to show the connection between Sora and Kairi and that Kairi gets her strengh from Sora, they could of had an apperation appear behind her like when Micky was shooting that giant keyhole in KH re-mind DLC, but no, they literally robbed Kairi of a chance to develop as a charicter and face her fears head on

So she can definitely fight pretty well
Or even better in your scenario, Sora reflecting off the water below them when he comes to "support" Kairi, an allegory of "on the other side" as that's literally where he is.
Dude, you don't need to send this everywhere. I get your grievances, but still.
@@bananafishstickskidlovepie110that works very well indeed, and would showcase it even better than what I suggest it
Whats the song played in the cutscene?
what yall think zehanort breath smell like?

Let Kairi do cool shit for once
Kairi actually does smth!
but sora go skrrrrrrrrrr-
She’s fast
I never got to this point

Kairi just CAN'T seem to get a win jesus
Fuck Kairi lol
Xehanort seriously needs to leave Kairi alone before she gets really mad

he wore it multiple time when younger, and wore it in the beggining of BBS when dropping Ventus on destiny Island

Kairi for SMASH NOW!!!!
Well she’s in Smash as a spirit in Sora’s spirit board and in part the background in the Dive to the heart stage
WAIT if Kairi was in soras heart in Kh1 final mix then she is A SORA IN MOM
remember when this was supposed to be kairi’s game yeah me too
Remember when nomura never said such a thing.
@@stampoulisrafail7836 she was on the cover of the game, you’d think she’d have more relevance by that alone. but she gets like what 20 minutes of screentime and it’s mostly her being pushed off again. most of MoM was her recapping the entire story like... thats not what you expect when the character is advertised everywhere on the front of the game
@@valkkei Its almost like we were explictly told that kairi was just a narrator and not to expect anything, this game was a setup for kairi's game lmao
Yasss b
Kairi can't even beat Xehanort IN HER DREAMS.... smh
Why should she?
The fact that people were annoyed that Kairi, who has less than a year of training nor even had her keyblade for more than a year, was unable to beat Xehanort, who had 70+ years of experience and managed to beat King Mickey (who has 10+ years more training and experience than Kairi) and Sora who is a prodigy and possibly the strongest keyblade wielder alive (who mind you only got beaten by Xehanort at first cause he acted in emotion and wasn't clear headed due to grief and exhaustion having just fought in every fight in the Keyblade Graveyard). Oh course Kairi wasn't going to beat him, she is a badass glass cannon and had tons of potential and obvious talent already but lacks the skill gained through experience like Sora and Riku to develop quicker than others who were trained traditionally. Kairi managed to fight and even seemed like a challenge to Xehanort at points and I am so proud of her for that, but she can't go running into fights with more experienced fighters like Xehanort or the possibility of dangers in Quadratum with Riku without getting battle experience first.
Kairi is my name 😳
I miss when Leonard was voicing Master Xehanort.
I'm confused did sora possessed her or did she transformed into him with the power of her memories?
Vlad is a name for all birds like dream clown I'm dream clown net hahahaha😮
That leak made me thinking she is going to be useless again but after seeing this she wasn’t as bad as I thought
Why Xehanort had to flex on her like that?
Why is master xaynort wearing a black robe
It ticks me off so much when Xehanort just grabs her keyblade and she just tries to pull it away. Even when YX did it with Sora in toy story world, it’s soooo annoying! They can summon the keyblade and make it disappear! Why aren’t you guys doing that?!
Most likely because Kairi has very little actual combat experience. She first got her keyblade at the end of KH2, fighting heartless shadows, the level of heartless Sora was fighting back at the beginning of KH1. Then she was sent to Merlin for some training and the only opponent she had was Lea.
She looks like she's a technical fighter, sticking to the "rules" of fighting, whereas Sora and Riku are largely self-taught fighters who developed their own techniques and tricks. Kairi looks like she's currently at where Sora was at the end of KH1, or close to the end.
She has some training but no real hard fought experience the way her boy does. But her getting training with Aqua will likely change all that.
Seriously? I've been playing these games for thirteen years. Just give Kairi a real chance to be a badass. I don't care about some training plot, let her beat some bad guys and come out as a champion! Not this weird stuff where Sora has to possess her.
What about the Re:Mind fight?
@@laststrike4411 Though that scene was utterly delightful, it was rather ephemeral. Having her possessed by Sora in her own game is wretched and being playable for one (excellent) boss fight is not nearly enough time. Let her be a consistent, payable badass without overshadowing her, especially at the last second.
You thought she was going to beat xehanort who fought Aqua, ventus, and Terra 😆 🤣 😂
Demetrius Martin Aqua did beat Xeahnort in terra’s body who was the strongest. They could’ve gave kairi sora’s kingdom key and defeat Xeahnort in this game
@@MrBGP006 dude she's been a warrior for 5 minutes... even axel couldn't bear xemnas but Kairi is on aquas and sora level? Even the ending said she'd finish training under aqua so she's not even a master or master level yet 🙄 😒
After seeing everyone get keyblades I started questioning wth is even special about the kingdom key anymore. I ended up concluding that since it chooses its master- it's the only keyblade that can be summoned back at will. By this, I mean most keyblade wielders should only be able to summon their keyblade not return it back if someone else decides to steal it. Take for example the boss fight between sora and Roxas in KH2- in that boss fight, sora can steal oathkeeper and oblivion from Roxas. Roxas can't summon them back either when Sora does it- he needs to physically steal them back. He's even surprised at the end when cornering sora when sora decides to summon his keyblade back from being trapped by Roxas with Oathkeeper. He's shocked as in his mind Sora shouldn't be able to do that. But after seeing this fight between kairi and xehanort and seeing her do the same thing that I thought the only sora could do as the keyblade's chosen makes me think there acc nothing special about the kingdom key anymore- a matter of fact its utter shit cause no other keyblade chooses its master the way the kingdom key does. Take for example kh1 when riku-ansem steals the kingdom key from sora. Because no other keyblade chooses its master its not possible for other keyblades to decide that their wielder isn't good enough and stick to the next best user for it but if the kingdom key finds someone "better" to wield it- it will fucking ditch sora in a heart beat like it did in kh1. The kingdom key is a dick.
When did Kairi become a badass?
It’s not like that , she’s the former princess of heart becoming a guardian of light
I’m rather confused on Xehanorts intentions here? Was his intentions to draw Sora out so he could be certain where his heart is, or was he actually trying to hurt Kairi? It more so seems to me that he was actually trying to help here. I think it was sweet of him to even compliment her skills. Xehanort is my favorite character and although his saga has ended I hope we still see some version of him help along this journey like this.
