...she did though... twice The fact this comment section devolved into calling Nomura sexist when characters like xion, larxene, aqua and namine exist really shows a lack of understanding for these characters some of you have.

@@ShadowBerserker454 I mean, you should not expect her to become Sora/Riku level of keyblade expert against enemies that make those 2 struggle in just a bunch of days, but yeah, even Goofy and Donald are more useful and they don't even have a keyblade.
I can imagine the ending in which Sora & Kairi are both hauling Riku’s injured ass over to the realm of darkness and humoring the fact that it’s now their turn to take care of Riku, who’s been like a big brother to them since childhood. Riku tells them they’re still both total saps. They all laugh heartily, unfazed by the light appearing in front of them to take them to the mysterious dark beach.
Hello there! Just wanted to clarify a little thing. It wasn't that Hayden wasn't asked to come back, it's that she willingly didn't come to record for Kairi. Her grandmother was sick at the time and she wanted to take care of her, so she turned the role down. They then gave it to Alison Stoner (Xion's VA), from what I remember with Hayden's blessing. (Also her grunts in this video are from KH3)
@@MaxxusDrago She said so herself on Twitter when asked about it when one of the KH3 trailers dropped. “No one asked me. 😕” Don’t know where you dug that info up. I certainly am not finding it.
I'm not super big on some of her direction (although that's mostly in KH1 where I think the only consistently well directed one of the three was David) but idk why they decided the solution was to replace her If anything, Xion should've been voiced by Hayden considering her role in the story of Days but...whatever
@@iancomtois9832 There’s a difference between a secondary character having their name in the title (Akira, Dr Slump, Inyuyasha, Metroid, Metal Gear, Fairly Oddparents etc) and a secondary character is who positioned to actually be the main character being sidelined
I take it you are talking about Melody of Memory? Where she is not playable until the ending, then once she fights Xehanort, Sora just takes over and deals with him for her.
Kairi is terrible and any scenario with Riku and Sora actively working together would break the Kingdom Hearts narrative as both need to bring their specific type of dumb to the Table for the Villian Shenanigans to work.
@@bookfan1239 I am absolutely trolling. I am also telling the truth. The trolling in this case simply being that it's obvious that people that are fans of a non-character will sperg out if you tell them it's a non-character. it's still very much true though xD so go cry me a river
@@whungus4681 I mean what I wrote. Sora and Riku both get played by the Villians constantly out of sheer stupidity. the are however stupid in different ways. Riku can be made to second guess himself super easily. Sora is trusting to the point of it being ridiculous. if they were together´Sora would stop Riku from questioning himself and Riku is a far less trusting person and wouldn't go along with pretty much anything like Sora does. The plans of Villians tend to require the protags do what they want in KH. Reminder´none of this would have happened in TAV simply hadn't gone to the Keyblade Graveyard´which is something the Villians explicitly told them they wanted to happen.In KH3 it seems that Xehanort can only win by the Guardians of Light engaging him on his terms. if they would have simply protected the princesses of Heart´Xehanort would have been screwed. The protags in KH Game constantly do what the Villians want them to for no real reason.
Back when KH2 came out, it kinda felt like the end of the franchise (except for the BBS trailer afterwards). We had defeated both the heartless and nobody threat. Roxas and Namine were recompleted and could be togetjer whenever Sora and Kairi were, satisfying their storyline (we even see a glimpse of them at the beach when Sora and Riku make it back home). The destiny island trio is finally together again (the goal since KH1). The disney characters are home in disney castle. No other lose ends aside from the letter they recieve at the end had been introduced (No wayfinder trio, no new evils, no real clocktower trio yet). So yeah, KH2 seemed like a nice wrapup, and it would have been even better with a Destiny islands trio final battle
@@KlausiboyZ Yeah but when you think about the post credit cutscene, it basically tells you that Sora's journey isn't actually over, they were basically setting up KH3 to begin with. And the games that came out after KH2 gave the ending a flaw. What about Terra, Aqua, and Ven? What about Xion? This can't be Xehanort's end since he's so intelligent right? Etc. What bugged me is that KH3 never got a proper happy ending where everyone gets a happy ending of peace at last including Sora. Also, it wouldn't make sense if Kairi was able to keep up with Sora and Riku if she didn't get locked out with Mickey. Think of the power progression Sora had to go through to get from Lv 1 to Lv 50. It would've been a better ending scenario if Kairi was with them to finish off Xemnas but having to be this powerful when she just got a Keyblade would've been an asspull.
@@dawnstar9557 actually, the keyblade's power comes from the strength of the user's heart... as a pure heart, she has the most "potential" out of everyone there, even Mickey who was already considered a Master before BBS... saying she taps into said "potential" to be nearly their equal isn't a stretch... just give her an "awkward" sword stance and attacks that are more flailing about since she doesn't have as much sword practice as the boys, and she'd work nicely enough
Now this is how things should've been, not just Sora finishing the battle and Riku helping. Instead it's more like Riku redeeming himself, Kairi showing she too can help, and Sora's there so nothing happens to them again. This time they finish the fight together.
@@sasir2013 SPOILERS FOR KH:MoM yeah like LOL the one chance she could’ve proved herself Sora just busted in Though i think they did that so she doesn’t go with riku to Quadritum (i think that’s what it’s called
Spoilers for MoM Yes, I was super pissed as well. Not only she didn't finish the fight in her own game, she doesn't go with Riku for a weak reason I'm hoping something good comes from her training with Aqua, but it's been rough
She definitely wouldn’t be doing this much but I still wanted her on the team for the finale. I think since you can have 5 party members in 3 it should have been sora, riku, kairi, goofy, and donald vs xehanort
She would be more useful I feel in kh3 rather than 2, since she has no idea how to use a keyblade or how to use magic, This does make me wish we did have this in KH3 as it would have been more appropriate in my opinion. She knows how to use it and magic and is much stronger in 3 than 2 so it would have been amazing to see her kick ass along with he rest of the crew.
Fun Fact: If you die in the first fight against armored xemnas, you can get saved by Mickey and play as him, so Kairi is literally the only person who doesn't participate in the final fights. :(
Actually. If you look at BBS. Or even at what's implied in the first. The Princesses of Heart are significantly more powerful (inherently) than even the HBRC Snow White fought off (probably with the 7D) The Darkness for ten years, (if you go OC->DJ) Since she's identified in BBS and the cutscene showing her capture are 10 years apart. I like that the first Disney Princess was just wrecking shit.... But later with no one else inside the castle.... Not a single other soul... Five princesses of heart (Belle & Beast retreated to the library to gather information) single handedly held back the final keyhole. Which based on the final world literally called.... End of the World the Darkness that released from there was powerful enough to destroy everything else. Except the world's you sealed. (Hence different color beams). It's implied Hollow Bastion still gets destroyed when you return to it, since Kairi is seen standing in the Darkness right before Sora and Mickey restore the universe. KH3 basically confirms the other six PoH kicked the bucket when the Invisibles showed up, since six new ones inherited it in the restored universe. How epic was that original ending narratively? Lol. If five held off a universe ending threat. I think one might give the dark side a run the closer they get to Kingdom hearts... CONFIRMED TO BE LIGHT!!!! Light magic was the only one used here. Which is actually canon from the first game when she uses it to restore Sora and disintegrate some Heartless in one go. Perfect finisher choice. That shit should also heal party members around her. But this was epic. Still should have been Riku and Sora at the very end. Cause she's their way back from The Realm of Darkness....
@@Homoronavirus It makes a lot of sense for this fight though. Sora and Riku up to this point have experienced KH1, CoM, and everything in 2 and even then they were barely able to beat Xemnas. Kairi got her Keyblade an hour ago, she most likely would've been just a burden. No excuse for her not to be more prevalent in 3 though
@@Homoronavirus Oh absolutely, Kairi was robbed in Kh3, and I honestly don't understand why the game wasn't structured to be part Sora exploring Disney worlds, part Riku exploring the Realm of Darkness, and part Kairi training with Lea in other Disney worlds/locations
I would have lost my mind even more if this happened the first time I played it as a kid. And it would be better too b/c I like kh2 voice actor for kairi better than Kh3 voice actor
@@SilverByakuya Riku's stance is pretty open, Ventus holds his Keyblade backwards, Terra and Aqua hold it normally, and Roxas Dual-wields. And Sora has the "Angry Grandma" stance.
@@SilverByakuya riku/vanitas hold keyblade near their face on the right side. Roxas(single wield) /Sora/Xion /Kairi use a squatting "horse stance"( martial arts) with keyblade in both hands Roxas holds 2 like normal short swords. Ventus stance is quite literally 1 hand back hand version of soras stance. Aqua is poised with sword to side. Terra has his own version of a power stance with one hand. Mickey is Yoda Lea has Chakram in left hand keyblade hanging on his shoulder holding by 2 fingers
Words cannot describe how disappointed I was that the final boss party in KH3 wasn't Donald and Goofy + Riku and Kairi. It felt like they introduced the 4 party member max SPECIFICALLY to do that, but it never happened.
And also, KH3 is supposed to be the final game of this first saga. Wouldn't it have been cool and appropriate to have the original five heroes from Number 1 face off in the final game?!!
THANK YOU!!! I’ve needed this for so long 😭💖 Kairi deserves so much more than the bs she gets. It’s honestly so upsetting to the point I’ve lost all faith in Nomura giving Kairi any significant fighting/badass roles in the future. 💔 Seeing this makes me happy though since at least KH fans can see her potential and give her the love she deserves!!!
I’ll be honest as cool as it would’ve been to have Kairi fight with Sora and Riku in this fight, was kinda disappointed that it wasn’t Sora, Riku, and Mickey all fighting together as the 3 keyblade wielders
Finally.... My wildest fantasies are almost real... The destiny trio ACTUALLY fighting together. If only we get this in actual games. Id love to see them interact with eachother more.
Kairi isn't a Character, she's a goal. Trying to make her more then that is the issue. Face it weird Kairi Fans (weird because there is nothing to be a Fan of with Kairi), that's not the type of Role she was created to play. Kairi exists as motivation for Sora and Riku. She's essentially Destiny Islands made manifest.
Clearly not. She was a goal in KH1, but in KH2 she became a character. Plus in re:mind she was a good fighter (especially good in magic) so no she is not just a goal anymore. In KH2 she had a hell of a character even if she doesn't fight, in kh3 re:mind she fights alongside sora. Plus the story always involve trios (bbs, 358/2 days, kh1 and 2) You can clearly see that they try to make her more present in the story but it's just bad character writing, just like sakura in Naruto. If you don't like this character good on you, but don't call people weird just because they like a character you don't. And if you think that create a character just to be a goal and literraly NOTHING else is ok then you are the one who is weird.
@@florianmorelli4873 Lol. Kairi was not more of a Character in 2. All she did was get Kidnapped and tell Sora that Riku looks like Ansem for some reason. In 3 it's almost played for laughs with her being added to the Guardians of light, having seemingly unlimited Time to magically train and still accomplishing nothing. Why? Because Kairi is a goal to obtain. She is a stand-in for Destiny Islands and the lives being left behind. And she has to fulfill that role because no other connections were established. If it weren't for a few short scenes, you could be forgiven for thinking that their entire World was just 6 Kids on a tiny Play Island. Who is Riku connected to from there beside Sora or Kairi? Oh right, nobody. Same applies to Sora even though we know that he has at least a Mom (that he never ever mentions). So, Kairi the non-character, the entity that things happen around but who never ever drives the plot in any way, is terrible and to be a fan of her is to be a fan without any logical reason, mostly because you want to see the girl, who has clearly been designated as a side character, to be cool. It's not going to happen, Kairi needs to suck for the dynamic to work. What's weird is that anyone could possibly care. Kairi is not a formerly good Character, she has never had a Character. And much the same could be said about Aqua and Xion. Female Characters just get to alternate between being shocked and concerned about the male protags, they also have no drive of their own. Aqua just wants to bring back Terra and Ven, she has no larger Goal. Kairi...fuck she would literally just be on Destiny Islands sitting around, possibly not even remembering that Sora and Riku exist if Axel hadn't taken her. And also, spare the Trio nonsense. The Trios don't mean anything xD I mean, in your Mind Sora, Kairi and Riku are a Trio....despite how they never actually accomplish anything as a Trio and how the Game actually consistently portrays Riku and Mickey as a Duo and Sora, Donald and Goofy as a Trio. The Series is very poorly written and clearly not planned ahead anywhere near they way it would have to be to make consistent and good Storytelling with so many Games. Reminder getting a Keyblade is as simple as touching another one and even when that simple thing hasn't happened, Characters like Sora and Lea get one anyway because reasons (in Leas case because he is popular and would otherwise be irrelevant to the plot going forward), despite this simplicity, it never occurs to anyone to simply induct a few of their many other allies as Keyblade Wielders, instead it must be those People that nobody can find. Kairi is Sora's designated Love interest, nothing more, nothing less and if you haven't picked up on this blatantly obvious thing, even after Kairi get's damsled and has to be rescued by Sora in her own Game, I'd say you are a hopeless case.
@@Monoochrom If that had been the case all along, then I'd agree, and she'd still be back on the islands waiting for them. But kh2 onward showed that's not what was in store for her. The heavy power of three trinity theme in this series pretty much guaranteed that she should've been there with her boys from the get go, but Nomura just isn't good at that, possibly combined with Disney maybe having a hand in that
I'm one second in and my cheeks are already hurting from smiling so much. This is so beautiful it's like the teams all coming together for this one last fight
@@napstio8399 To be fair (*sings* TO BE FAIR!) it was absolutely fantastic the first time I played the last battle, but replaying it with that melancholy tune just doesn't feel right anymore. Replacing it with something more intense was a game changer. (Pun intended)
While I would have loved to have had Kairy join Sora and Riku for the final boss, realistically I can't see Kairy being much help. By KH2 Kairy didn't have any sort of combat training and hadn't gotten the experience that Sora and Riku did during their travels to teach herself how to fight like they did. If we're being generous you could give her the benefit of the doubt and give her some basic fighting techniques that she might have picked up from watching Sora and Riku fight so often or even have it so that Kairy occasionally joined in on their fights from time to time and have it so that she gained some basic experience from that. In all honesty it wouldn't really be out of place considering the fact that every single child on that island in KH1 seemed to have at least some basic combat experience and then fighting each other wasn't an unusual thing for them to do. And while Kairy may have gotten shafted in KH3 even after her training arc, I feel like they can still do more with her now that she actually knows what she's doing. Not to mention her being a princess of light opens up a whole other world of possibilities for her which could be explored with a whole game dedicated to Kairy. And I think we can all agree that she deserves SOMETHING after being mistreated over the years, she literally went into a training arc and during her first official battle she gets captured and killed. It took creating a whole DLC just to give her a chance to show what she could do and even then I feel like she hasn't even come close to reaching her full potential. There are still sleeping worlds right? Maybe they could make a Dream Drop Distance style game in which Kairy goes on an adventure to awaken more of the sleeping worlds, it would give her something important to do and it would give them the perfect opportunity to expand her character and her relationship with the other characters such as Roxas who is someone she hasn't spoken to since KH2 or even Axel (Lea) who Kairy spent a long time training with and developed a friendship with. They could also have Kairy bond with Xion and they could even have Aqua fully accept her role a Keyblade Master and have her become Kairy's teacher and help her become a better Keyblade user. I'm just rambling at this point, my point is that Kairy still has so many possibilities that have yet to be explored.
It's funny how 6:05 to 8:02 is just unmodded vanilla Final Boss content 😂 I do wonder if it's possible to get some sound of Riku saying Kairis name and replacing "Sora!" With "Kairi!"
It's 100% possible there are definitely lines of Riku saying "Kairi" but its probably too much work for the sake of one line so they removed it instead is my guess
Every squad has a heavy-physical user, a heavy-magical user and a hybrid MELEE: Goofy Goofy Xion Tera Riku MAGIC:: Donald Donald Axel Aqua Kairi HYBRID Sora Mickey Roxas Ventus Sora Kairi should be a heavy-magic user
Honestly I feel they could've given Kairi her own moveset and obviously a much better development. Riku gave her a weapon to fight with. That's even shown in it's own scene they could've made her a party member at least for the time being of the final fight. Or make her a situational teammate like the ff7 characters. Have her mess up a swing and fall to the ground like Ping does at the very least since she's not exactly experienced in fighting. Not Mulan in general I mean specifically Ping when you first do Land of Dragons. Pay attention to him during combat you'll see it.
What makes this interesting to watch is the fact you can control Kairi and even rotate between the trio during the transitions between fights. Wish I knew why this wasn't part of the canon game, this would have made KH3 even more epic down the road, not just KH2FM.
Of course Kairi wouldn't be this skillful with the Keyblade already so soon, but this is so cool to see! Didn't expect to see you playing as her as well, what a bonus. Kairi, Sora, and ,Riku standing side by side, truly as equals, cant wait (can wait) to see this happen for real. Kairis training so for has already gave her much skill than how long it took for Sora and Riku, whom are mostly self taught. Now she's gonna have Master Aqua as her teacher! Kairi is simply gonna be so clean on the field afterwords. Believe it👊
Kairi's "I gotcha!" is so cute. Nice to see them fighting side by side! Obviously Kairi had 0 training in this game but it would be amazing if something like this happened in the future.
You mean like Aqua and Xion?? One was playable and both was actually important to the story and the game they debuted. Kairi is the only useless one. Namine was more relevant than she was. So it's just Kairi, not all women. There's also Larxine.
@@KingTai64 Yeah but what about Kairi? How many men and woman are there in the game? Aqua is the main character of the spin offs, not the main saga, which is Sora... 3 friends. 2 guys and 1 girl... I mean... C'mon...
To be honest, it shouldve been Riku and Kairi in the engine part, Sora and Kairi for the dragon part, Sora and Riku for the third part, and all 3 for the last part, with Sora and Riku in the in-battle cutscene.
I like how Kairi in this scenario fights. Like, she’s never been in a fight before, has no training and is using a Keyblade for the first time. She doesn’t know what to do. So what does she do? She just watches Sora and does what he does. She’s basically copied his style of fighting. Very realistic. (I know they just used his fighting animation, while customizing it to make it feel more unique to Kairi)
This is awesome!! Hopefully Nomura and SE will actually start to give us more playable Kairi (ideally her own game, or at least half her own game), as well as more inclusion in fighting as the full Destiny Trio (and being able to pick which of the three we get to fight as).
What I liked about this original fight is that Riku and Sora had some teamwork moments that showed off their trust in each other. If they included Kairi, she could’ve had some equally impactful moments. They could’ve had moments where her inexperience shows and Sora and Riku give her a little support and have her keep up. Throw in a little tension where she slips up and almost dies (kinda like Sora being bound by Xemnas’ ability in that one part) then we would’ve had like the trio coming perfectly together. Also, I feel that in today’s world I have to mention that yes, Kairi would in fact struggle the most in the fight and realistically would need Sora and Riku to support her a bit, not because she’s a woman but because she literally doesn’t have much experience with a keyblade lol
I like the idea but i think kairi at this point had almost no fighting expirience so she wouldnt be much of a help. But still cool video i liked it the only thing i didnt like that much was the final xemnas fight i think this fight should stay as it is with sora and riku fighting xemnas. Keep up the good work :)
@@stampoulisrafail7836 Oh yeah, you right... A $30 DLC and spin off Rythem Game where you don't play as her. There we go. Otherwise, she's was just a means to an end.
For some reason Kairi having Dodge Slash just looks really fitting to me. It’s an ability I never use in KH2 because of the hit lag and it makes Sora look kinda amateurish, but for Kairi it honestly fits really well
Please let a future kingdom hearts game have these three face the final boss together. That would sure make me happy. Its kinda what I was hoping for in the final fight against Xehanort in kh3
Man KH3 should’ve had a boss where the destiny island trio got to batter a Xehanort. BBS crew got their moment and twilight gang got theirs. No love for the islanders. Kairi dying in a match would’ve been so much more badass than her getting grabbed by Xemnas and getting axed in her sleep. We deserve a better kairi
Holy shit, now that I'm thinking about, I dont think we EVER got this in the main games, did we? Even in KH3 we never got a Sora Kairi Riku team once. The fuck Nomura?
It bothered me so much that some contrivance kept Kairi out of every fight in the Castle, even though they made a point of showing her using a Keyblade. So I think this mod is pretty sweet!
a custom music mod was created a few months back but I'm not sure if its been released to the public yet I know Xaddgx is going to include it in his Aqua mod
@@auscompgeek Gameplay segregation mechanics. Mickey in KH2 will show up during specific boss fights if you die to give the player a second chance. If you want a story explanation... there is none, from what I understand canonically Mickey never fights Xemnas with Sora and Riku. If you want you can chalk it up to Mickey using the Power of Waking to save Sora when he needs it the most.
Yo, thanks for this, it looks super good! I really hope Kingdom Hearts will do Kairi justice in the future games(and the other female characters as well)
This, she just got her keyblade, it would be like Sora fighting Xemnas (or even Ansem SoD) the night he got his keyblade, he would just lose. But i get that people want to see their fantasies and hopes come true so it's okay even if it doesn't make sense, doesn't matter to me as long as the games proper don't go down that route too.
What if Kairi Wasn’t separated from Sora and Riku but instead Donald and Goofy got separated from the others: *Xemnas use his powers to attack on Sora and his Friends then, King Mickey, Donald and Goofy got separated from Sora, Riku, and Kairi* King Mickey: Whoa Oof. Oh No! Riku: No Your majesty. *The Door Shuts* Donald and Goofy: Huh SORA!!! Sora: Donald, Goofy No!! Kairi: Guys we to keep going. Sora: Ok Let’s do this!!

Sora's fighting style is the butter on everyone's toast
I need a game where these 3 kick ass together as an actual trio. Please Nomura it shouldn't be to much to ask come on!
Kairi is terrible and any scenario with Riku and Sora actively working together would break the Kingdom Hearts narrative as both need to bring their specific type of dumb to the Table for the Villian Shenanigans to work.
@@Monoochrom what r u talking about
Monoochrom You’re literally commenting like this on so many comments that I’m just going to assume you’re a troll. So ok, troll 👍
@@bookfan1239 I am absolutely trolling. I am also telling the truth. The trolling in this case simply being that it's obvious that people that are fans of a non-character will sperg out if you tell them it's a non-character. it's still very much true though xD so go cry me a river
@@whungus4681 I mean what I wrote. Sora and Riku both get played by the Villians constantly out of sheer stupidity. the are however stupid in different ways. Riku can be made to second guess himself super easily. Sora is trusting to the point of it being ridiculous. if they were together´Sora would stop Riku from questioning himself and Riku is a far less trusting person and wouldn't go along with pretty much anything like Sora does. The plans of Villians tend to require the protags do what they want in KH. Reminder´none of this would have happened in TAV simply hadn't gone to the Keyblade Graveyard´which is something the Villians explicitly told them they wanted to happen.In KH3 it seems that Xehanort can only win by the Guardians of Light engaging him on his terms. if they would have simply protected the princesses of Heart´Xehanort would have been screwed.
The protags in KH Game constantly do what the Villians want them to for no real reason.
This is pretty clean! I really like Kairi's moveset. Would be wild if this were canon. A KH game that ends with the OG trio! Nicely done.
Back when KH2 came out, it kinda felt like the end of the franchise (except for the BBS trailer afterwards).
We had defeated both the heartless and nobody threat.
Roxas and Namine were recompleted and could be togetjer whenever Sora and Kairi were, satisfying their storyline (we even see a glimpse of them at the beach when Sora and Riku make it back home).
The destiny island trio is finally together again (the goal since KH1).
The disney characters are home in disney castle.
No other lose ends aside from the letter they recieve at the end had been introduced (No wayfinder trio, no new evils, no real clocktower trio yet).
So yeah, KH2 seemed like a nice wrapup, and it would have been even better with a Destiny islands trio final battle
@@KlausiboyZ Yeah but when you think about the post credit cutscene, it basically tells you that Sora's journey isn't actually over, they were basically setting up KH3 to begin with.
And the games that came out after KH2 gave the ending a flaw. What about Terra, Aqua, and Ven? What about Xion? This can't be Xehanort's end since he's so intelligent right? Etc.
What bugged me is that KH3 never got a proper happy ending where everyone gets a happy ending of peace at last including Sora.
Also, it wouldn't make sense if Kairi was able to keep up with Sora and Riku if she didn't get locked out with Mickey. Think of the power progression Sora had to go through to get from Lv 1 to Lv 50. It would've been a better ending scenario if Kairi was with them to finish off Xemnas but having to be this powerful when she just got a Keyblade would've been an asspull.
@@dawnstar9557 actually, the keyblade's power comes from the strength of the user's heart... as a pure heart, she has the most "potential" out of everyone there, even Mickey who was already considered a Master before BBS... saying she taps into said "potential" to be nearly their equal isn't a stretch... just give her an "awkward" sword stance and attacks that are more flailing about since she doesn't have as much sword practice as the boys, and she'd work nicely enough
Now this is how things should've been, not just Sora finishing the battle and Riku helping.
Instead it's more like Riku redeeming himself, Kairi showing she too can help, and Sora's there so nothing happens to them again. This time they finish the fight together.
Party: Loses only 2 of the 6 members
Sora: "We CaN tAkE hIm On OuR oWn!"
Man, this is what we have always deserved and still do. And I'm so mad that canon has failed to deliver thus far. Thank you so much for making this

Spoilers for MoM
Yes, I was super pissed as well. Not only she didn't finish the fight in her own game, she doesn't go with Riku for a weak reason
I'm hoping something good comes from her training with Aqua, but it's been rough
@@gamkht yeah, two useless characters training together, we can expect a lot from that XD
She definitely wouldn’t be doing this much but I still wanted her on the team for the finale. I think since you can have 5 party members in 3 it should have been sora, riku, kairi, goofy, and donald vs xehanort
She would be more useful I feel in kh3 rather than 2, since she has no idea how to use a keyblade or how to use magic, This does make me wish we did have this in KH3 as it would have been more appropriate in my opinion. She knows how to use it and magic and is much stronger in 3 than 2 so it would have been amazing to see her kick ass along with he rest of the crew.
I KNOW RIGHT?!?
Mickey, too!
Fun Fact: If you die in the first fight against armored xemnas, you can get saved by Mickey and play as him, so Kairi is literally the only person who doesn't participate in the final fights. :(
Actually. If you look at BBS.
Or even at what's implied in the first.
The Princesses of Heart are significantly more powerful (inherently) than even the HBRC
Snow White fought off (probably with the 7D)
The Darkness for ten years, (if you go OC->DJ)
Since she's identified in BBS and the cutscene showing her capture are 10 years apart.
I like that the first Disney Princess was just wrecking shit.... But later with no one else inside the castle....
Not a single other soul...
Five princesses of heart (Belle & Beast retreated to the library to gather information)
single handedly held back the final keyhole.
Which based on the final world literally called....
End of the World the Darkness that released from there was powerful enough to destroy everything else. Except the world's you sealed.
(Hence different color beams).
It's implied Hollow Bastion still gets destroyed when you return to it, since Kairi is seen standing in the Darkness right before Sora and Mickey restore the universe.
KH3 basically confirms the other six PoH kicked the bucket when the Invisibles showed up, since six new ones inherited it in the restored universe.
How epic was that original ending narratively?
Lol.
If five held off a universe ending threat.
I think one might give the dark side a run the closer they get to Kingdom hearts... CONFIRMED TO BE LIGHT!!!!
Light magic was the only one used here. Which is actually canon from the first game when she uses it to restore Sora and disintegrate some Heartless in one go. Perfect finisher choice.
That shit should also heal party members around her. But this was epic.
Still should have been Riku and Sora at the very end. Cause she's their way back from The Realm of Darkness....
So Basicly... This me Fixing something that realy triggered me whe I first played the Game by using Omni's Mods
Honestly Kairi's lack of presence really annoys me! Especially when her only excuse is "I need more training".😤
Thank you
@@Homoronavirus It makes a lot of sense for this fight though. Sora and Riku up to this point have experienced KH1, CoM, and everything in 2 and even then they were barely able to beat Xemnas. Kairi got her Keyblade an hour ago, she most likely would've been just a burden. No excuse for her not to be more prevalent in 3 though

there was no Sora, Riku & Kairi teaming up in a battle (gameplay)
I love how in every game she uses the same power stance sora uses when she does have a keyblade
Just out of curiosity, what stance do the other keyblade users do?
@@SilverByakuya Riku's stance is pretty open, Ventus holds his Keyblade backwards, Terra and Aqua hold it normally, and Roxas Dual-wields.
And Sora has the "Angry Grandma" stance.
Lea holds his over his shoulder, Mickey is pretty normal too, Kairi holds it similar to Sora, Xion does the same as Kairi
@@SilverByakuya riku/vanitas hold keyblade near their face on the right side.
Roxas(single wield) /Sora/Xion /Kairi use a squatting "horse stance"( martial arts) with keyblade in both hands
Roxas holds 2 like normal short swords.
Ventus stance is quite literally 1 hand back hand version of soras stance.
Aqua is poised with sword to side.
Terra has his own version of a power stance with one hand.
Mickey is Yoda
Lea has Chakram in left hand
keyblade hanging on his shoulder holding by 2 fingers
Vanitas's left hand is downward, making him more hunched over.
Riku is cupping with his and standing more upright.
Words cannot describe how disappointed I was that the final boss party in KH3 wasn't Donald and Goofy + Riku and Kairi. It felt like they introduced the 4 party member max SPECIFICALLY to do that, but it never happened.
And also, KH3 is supposed to be the final game of this first saga. Wouldn't it have been cool and appropriate to have the original five heroes from Number 1 face off in the final game?!!
I didn't even think about that, wow you're right.
....damn they really fumbled the ball in KH3 🤦♂️
THANK YOU!!! I’ve needed this for so long 😭💖 Kairi deserves so much more than the bs she gets. It’s honestly so upsetting to the point I’ve lost all faith in Nomura giving Kairi any significant fighting/badass roles in the future. 💔 Seeing this makes me happy though since at least KH fans can see her potential and give her the love she deserves!!!
I’ll be honest as cool as it would’ve been to have Kairi fight with Sora and Riku in this fight, was kinda disappointed that it wasn’t Sora, Riku, and Mickey all fighting together as the 3 keyblade wielders
well you can still have mickey for a little bit, just use my allies!

*HEYAAAA*
This comet thread is everything with all the comets having something misspelled
Finally.... My wildest fantasies are almost real...
The destiny trio ACTUALLY fighting together. If only we get this in actual games. Id love to see them interact with eachother more.
This is the Kairi we deserve. Seriously i was so mad after Melody of memory, what they did to her character was so disgusting.
I'm almost numb by this point about all disrespect her character has received
Kairi isn't a Character, she's a goal. Trying to make her more then that is the issue.
Face it weird Kairi Fans (weird because there is nothing to be a Fan of with Kairi), that's not the type of Role she was created to play. Kairi exists as motivation for Sora and Riku. She's essentially Destiny Islands made manifest.
Clearly not. She was a goal in KH1, but in KH2 she became a character. Plus in re:mind she was a good fighter (especially good in magic) so no she is not just a goal anymore.
In KH2 she had a hell of a character even if she doesn't fight, in kh3 re:mind she fights alongside sora. Plus the story always involve trios (bbs, 358/2 days, kh1 and 2)
You can clearly see that they try to make her more present in the story but it's just bad character writing, just like sakura in Naruto.
If you don't like this character good on you, but don't call people weird just because they like a character you don't. And if you think that create a character just to be a goal and literraly NOTHING else is ok then you are the one who is weird.
@@florianmorelli4873 Lol. Kairi was not more of a Character in 2. All she did was get Kidnapped and tell Sora that Riku looks like Ansem for some reason. In 3 it's almost played for laughs with her being added to the Guardians of light, having seemingly unlimited Time to magically train and still accomplishing nothing. Why? Because Kairi is a goal to obtain. She is a stand-in for Destiny Islands and the lives being left behind. And she has to fulfill that role because no other connections were established. If it weren't for a few short scenes, you could be forgiven
for thinking that their entire World was just 6 Kids on a tiny Play Island. Who is Riku connected to from there beside Sora or Kairi? Oh right, nobody. Same applies to Sora even though we know that he has at least a Mom (that he never ever mentions).
So, Kairi the non-character, the entity that things happen around but who never ever drives the plot in any way, is terrible and to be a fan of her is to be a fan without any logical reason, mostly because you want to see the girl, who has clearly been designated as a side character, to be cool. It's not going to happen, Kairi needs to suck for the dynamic to work. What's weird is that anyone could possibly care. Kairi is not a formerly good Character, she has never had a Character. And much the same could be said about Aqua and Xion. Female Characters just get to alternate between being shocked and concerned about the male protags, they also have no drive of their own. Aqua just wants to bring back Terra and Ven, she has no larger Goal. Kairi...fuck she would literally just be on Destiny Islands sitting around, possibly not even remembering that Sora and Riku exist if Axel hadn't taken her.
And also, spare the Trio nonsense. The Trios don't mean anything xD I mean, in your Mind Sora, Kairi and Riku are a Trio....despite how they never actually accomplish anything as a Trio and how the Game actually consistently portrays Riku and Mickey as a Duo and Sora, Donald and Goofy as a Trio.
The Series is very poorly written and clearly not planned ahead anywhere near they way it would have to be to make consistent and good Storytelling with so many Games. Reminder getting a Keyblade is as simple as touching another one and even when that simple thing hasn't happened, Characters like Sora and Lea get one anyway because reasons (in Leas case because he is popular and would otherwise be irrelevant to the plot going forward), despite this simplicity, it never occurs to anyone to simply induct a few of their many other allies as Keyblade Wielders, instead it must be those People that nobody can find.
Kairi is Sora's designated Love interest, nothing more, nothing less and if you haven't picked up on this blatantly obvious thing, even after Kairi get's damsled and has to be rescued by Sora in her own Game, I'd say you are a hopeless case.
@@Monoochrom
If that had been the case all along, then I'd agree, and she'd still be back on the islands waiting for them.
But kh2 onward showed that's not what was in store for her.
The heavy power of three trinity theme in this series pretty much guaranteed that she should've been there with her boys from the get go, but Nomura just isn't good at that, possibly combined with Disney maybe having a hand in that
I'm one second in and my cheeks are already hurting from smiling so much. This is so beautiful it's like the teams all coming together for this one last fight
She shoulda been like that at melody of memory
Don't worry meng, we'll see her in action soon!
It’s pretty disappointing that they made Kairi lose. She was pretty good to play as in Remind and I was confused on how she lost to first time.
still disappointing that she had to be saved in her OWN GAME

This is Incredibly Awesome!!! 😀 I'd love to see more SoRiKai videos like this in the future!
11:51 That's what Kairi should have done when Xemnas took her at the end of kh 3
While I would have loved to have had Kairy join Sora and Riku for the final boss, realistically I can't see Kairy being much help. By KH2 Kairy didn't have any sort of combat training and hadn't gotten the experience that Sora and Riku did during their travels to teach herself how to fight like they did. If we're being generous you could give her the benefit of the doubt and give her some basic fighting techniques that she might have picked up from watching Sora and Riku fight so often or even have it so that Kairy occasionally joined in on their fights from time to time and have it so that she gained some basic experience from that. In all honesty it wouldn't really be out of place considering the fact that every single child on that island in KH1 seemed to have at least some basic combat experience and then fighting each other wasn't an unusual thing for them to do.
And while Kairy may have gotten shafted in KH3 even after her training arc, I feel like they can still do more with her now that she actually knows what she's doing. Not to mention her being a princess of light opens up a whole other world of possibilities for her which could be explored with a whole game dedicated to Kairy. And I think we can all agree that she deserves SOMETHING after being mistreated over the years, she literally went into a training arc and during her first official battle she gets captured and killed. It took creating a whole DLC just to give her a chance to show what she could do and even then I feel like she hasn't even come close to reaching her full potential.
There are still sleeping worlds right? Maybe they could make a Dream Drop Distance style game in which Kairy goes on an adventure to awaken more of the sleeping worlds, it would give her something important to do and it would give them the perfect opportunity to expand her character and her relationship with the other characters such as Roxas who is someone she hasn't spoken to since KH2 or even Axel (Lea) who Kairy spent a long time training with and developed a friendship with. They could also have Kairy bond with Xion and they could even have Aqua fully accept her role a Keyblade Master and have her become Kairy's teacher and help her become a better Keyblade user. I'm just rambling at this point, my point is that Kairy still has so many possibilities that have yet to be explored.
This basically makes already kh2 10 times better
11:50 never did i realize i needed to see something so badly like that happen in kingdom hearts
It's funny how 6:05 to 8:02 is just unmodded vanilla Final Boss content 😂
I do wonder if it's possible to get some sound of Riku saying Kairis name and replacing "Sora!" With "Kairi!"
It's 100% possible there are definitely lines of Riku saying "Kairi" but its probably too much work for the sake of one line so they removed it instead is my guess
There is a voice line of Riku saying Kairi's name. It's one of his death quotes.
@@liamwhite3522 Damn, that kinda hit's my feels
Every squad has a heavy-physical user, a heavy-magical user and a hybrid
MELEE: Goofy Goofy Xion Tera Riku
MAGIC:: Donald Donald Axel Aqua Kairi
HYBRID Sora Mickey Roxas Ventus Sora
Kairi should be a heavy-magic user
Honestly I feel they could've given Kairi her own moveset and obviously a much better development. Riku gave her a weapon to fight with. That's even shown in it's own scene they could've made her a party member at least for the time being of the final fight. Or make her a situational teammate like the ff7 characters. Have her mess up a swing and fall to the ground like Ping does at the very least since she's not exactly experienced in fighting. Not Mulan in general I mean specifically Ping when you first do Land of Dragons. Pay attention to him during combat you'll see it.
Kairi should’ve been playable up until after defeating xemnas than gets separated when going home.
What makes this interesting to watch is the fact you can control Kairi and even rotate between the trio during the transitions between fights. Wish I knew why this wasn't part of the canon game, this would have made KH3 even more epic down the road, not just KH2FM.
I feel cheated by Nomura this is SO GOOD
This is soooo good! Gave me chills watching Sora, Riku, and Kairi competently fighting side by side together.
After watching this, looking back at KH2 and knowing everything we know now about the series, it’s kinda baffling this wasn’t how it originally was.
Right?
Of course Kairi wouldn't be this skillful with the Keyblade already so soon, but this is so cool to see! Didn't expect to see you playing as her as well, what a bonus.
Kairi, Sora, and ,Riku standing side by side, truly as equals, cant wait (can wait) to see this happen for real. Kairis training so for has already gave her much skill than how long it took for Sora and Riku, whom are mostly self taught. Now she's gonna have Master Aqua as her teacher! Kairi is simply gonna be so clean on the field afterwords. Believe it👊
lol Riku's little head icon when you control him. so cute!
Honestly, don’t think she would’ve been much help, she just got her keyblade and she lacks battle experience.
You know we really should have been able to play with a party with these three in it by now. I mean they’re the OG trio come on.
Kairi's "I gotcha!" is so cute. Nice to see them fighting side by side! Obviously Kairi had 0 training in this game but it would be amazing if something like this happened in the future.
The "change character" option should've been available before Kh3:ReMind imo. :/
Can we please just talk about my man Riku that not only knocks fucking armored Xemnas on the air but also finishes him in precisely 10s straight ??
wow i like this alternate universe in which this franchise respects women
You mean like Aqua and Xion?? One was playable and both was actually important to the story and the game they debuted. Kairi is the only useless one. Namine was more relevant than she was. So it's just Kairi, not all women. There's also Larxine.
THANK YOU
@@KingTai64 Nope. I want protagonist women, not only boring damsels in distress...
@@Toku92 pretty sure Xion and Aqua aren't damsels, and Aqua was a main character. I already pointed this out.

Aqua is the main character of the spin offs, not the main saga, which is Sora...
3 friends. 2 guys and 1 girl...

To be honest, it shouldve been Riku and Kairi in the engine part, Sora and Kairi for the dragon part, Sora and Riku for the third part, and all 3 for the last part, with Sora and Riku in the in-battle cutscene.
😎COOL I do wish this was in the main game..
I like how Kairi in this scenario fights. Like, she’s never been in a fight before, has no training and is using a Keyblade for the first time. She doesn’t know what to do. So what does she do? She just watches Sora and does what he does. She’s basically copied his style of fighting. Very realistic.
(I know they just used his fighting animation, while customizing it to make it feel more unique to Kairi)
What I expected in KH3.
This is awesome!! Hopefully Nomura and SE will actually start to give us more playable Kairi (ideally her own game, or at least half her own game), as well as more inclusion in fighting as the full Destiny Trio (and being able to pick which of the three we get to fight as).
When gamers make better content than developers this 12 minutes is worth more than the whole kh3 game literally i hate floaty combat
What I liked about this original fight is that Riku and Sora had some teamwork moments that showed off their trust in each other. If they included Kairi, she could’ve had some equally impactful moments. They could’ve had moments where her inexperience shows and Sora and Riku give her a little support and have her keep up. Throw in a little tension where she slips up and almost dies (kinda like Sora being bound by Xemnas’ ability in that one part) then we would’ve had like the trio coming perfectly together.
Also, I feel that in today’s world I have to mention that yes, Kairi would in fact struggle the most in the fight and realistically would need Sora and Riku to support her a bit, not because she’s a woman but because she literally doesn’t have much experience with a keyblade lol
I like the idea but i think kairi at this point had almost no fighting expirience so she wouldnt be much of a help.
But still cool video i liked it the only thing i didnt like that much was the final xemnas fight i think this fight should stay as it is with sora and riku fighting xemnas.
Keep up the good work :)
I be fair Kairi just got the keyblade minutes earlier, but it could have worked if Kairi's IA took a more supporting Role in the fights.
Maaaaaan this part is so hype
Kairi can't participate in climactic boss fights because she has the disease called Sakuraosis
kingdom hearts 2 was a much better game than kh3 :( felt more like a movie than a game especially the frozen world
It really was dissapointing considering the build up. Really sad.
Frozen world was really boring and repetitive, even the history didn't make much sense.
I don't usually insert headcanon above actual canon, but I will make an exception for this.
That feeling when the only time Kairi has any bit of relevance is in a $30 DLC...
The feeling,when someone says shit that is not true.
@@stampoulisrafail7836 Oh yeah, you right...
A $30 DLC and spin off Rythem Game where you don't play as her. There we go. Otherwise, she's was just a means to an end.
DLC that mostly fixes things that would be free in other games and a bunch of one-on-one bosses (No Donald, Goofy, Riku, or even Kairi to aid you).
Would r/KH fuck off already?
For some reason Kairi having Dodge Slash just looks really fitting to me. It’s an ability I never use in KH2 because of the hit lag and it makes Sora look kinda amateurish, but for Kairi it honestly fits really well

@@auscompgeek Gameplay segregation mechanics. Mickey in KH2 will show up during specific boss fights if you die to give the player a second chance.
If you want a story explanation... there is none, from what I understand canonically Mickey never fights Xemnas with Sora and Riku. If you want you can chalk it up to Mickey using the Power of Waking to save Sora when he needs it the most.
Thank you for doing the world a service
Nobody cares the Nomura ending, this is cannon now
This is what should have happened in kh3. Crazy Nomura, you still got us waiting for kairi to join Sora and riku.
So she still basically doesn’t help at all. Figures. 😂
Yo, thanks for this, it looks super good! I really hope Kingdom Hearts will do Kairi justice in the future games(and the other female characters as well)
Kairi is nowhere near the level of Sora and Riku, she would just die, It's pointless to have her in this fight.
This, she just got her keyblade, it would be like Sora fighting Xemnas (or even Ansem SoD) the night he got his keyblade, he would just lose.
But i get that people want to see their fantasies and hopes come true so it's okay even if it doesn't make sense, doesn't matter to me as long as the games proper don't go down that route too.
What if Kairi Wasn’t separated from Sora and Riku but instead Donald and Goofy got separated from the others:
*Xemnas use his powers to attack on Sora and his Friends then, King Mickey, Donald and Goofy got separated from Sora, Riku, and Kairi*
King Mickey: Whoa Oof. Oh No!
Riku: No Your majesty.
*The Door Shuts*
Donald and Goofy: Huh SORA!!!
Sora: Donald, Goofy No!!
Kairi: Guys we to keep going.
Sora: Ok Let’s do this!!
Ok but how meaningful would it be to have _her_ fight xemnas instead. I would have loved that
HOW IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN
Everyone gangster until Kairi become's a damsel in distress.
