Note: I had to replace Missing You with Treasured Memories at 2:54 because, of course, RUclips loves to randomly copyright strike my videos containing some random soundtracks.
The next update is the last one and will probably be released between late May/early June.

Bro lowering your self confidence will make people lose respect for you in the future, don’t say mean stuff about yourself ever again, overall keep up the Good work.
im at 4:50 and im already blown. so.. what did ventus do to the darkness incarnate? seems we jumped directly towards him being knocked out. what is larxenes "somebody" doing there, in the data world!!!
It has been fun following this story with you especially after I got bored with the game in my last two years of high school and earlier this year.
I really enjoyed this morning of plot twists! Thank you
1st: Thank you so much for this spicy update!
2nd: You are NOT ugly!
“You sure about staying Everglow?”
“Well it’s not like we can have a player character running around the main timeline.”
“What?”
“What?”
Lol about that
this aged poorly
Elrena is taking this "The world you've spent your entire life in is not only not real but dying" thing remarkably well.
My thoughts exactly. Imagine randomly meet a few dudes and they start talking about how all this world is just data and is going to be destroyed.
Elrena: Oh, Lauriam, are these the other Dandelions?
Brain: Can't chat. World dying. You're data. Get in the lifeboat or... "sleep."
Elrena (outer): But I'm not one of you...
Elrena (inner): WHAT THE FUCKKK!!!!!!!!
And then her mind was so blown, her personality shifted to bitch level 10.
She was really along for the ride. Which is her secret
Spoiler "My Name is Nomura and i totally forgot about Elrena, fuck how do i get her into the Reallife? Ah she just says yes to the Randoms"
It's so weird that Elrena is a nice person in Union X, and Lauriam comforting was very sweet. I hope that in Phase 2 Elrena/Larxene doesn't lose her sass, but she can be like an antihero.
I dont think so. Cause Larxene or Elrens in times of Com And Kh3, she doesnt remember her past. So there is no reason for her to be like that in UX
@@keyblade43 I mean there's always a chance of her getting her memories back. Nomura teased Marluxia getting his memories back when Sora defeated him in KH3, so why not Larxene? And I don't want her to change her personality, that's one of the reasons why Marluxia and Larxene are my favorite villains, but if Lauriam decided to help other people (like his sister), she would probably follow him.
@@keyblade43 actually pack of short stories about Org. XIII released around KH2 release as a part of collection edition... Kinda heavily implies that it is not that Larxene doesn't remember but more like refuses to remember and doesn't want her heart back because it is TOO PAINFUL for her and she rather not feel anything, also KH3 adds to that she simpy follows along for the ride - so it rises a question "Who?" and most likely she still follows Lauriam... Anyway global narrative heavily implies that something or someone - maybe even Lauriam - hurt Elrene so much that it broke her to the point that she sees being Larxene, a Nobody with lack of empathy, as a reprieve from pain and has deep fear of going back (I mean remember her last words before she fades away in Chain of Memories?). Overall her current character is like a bully that became one as she was the one bullied before.
considering what we've seen from the organization members who became humans again in kh3 I don't think her personality is going to change that drastically, now that she isn't in the organization anymore I don't think she'll be as abrasive as before, but maybe will a softer side as well, as she'll probably get her memories back like it's implied Marluxia did, so she'd remember how she used to be. I do think her sass will still be there tho, since I think that's kinda part of her in general, since on quest 851 when Elrena says she's gonna investigate about Strelitzia's whereabouts her chirithy says "since when do you care about others?" and she replies "shush, you!", implying that even though she's a lot nicer she can still be kinda cold and unfriendly
I love that sass! I love larxine's character so much! She's the only KH girl i can stand!
Ventus have a really strict bedtime. He can't stop taking naps
I know right? This man spent most his life in bed. There's hibernation, then there's whatever you call Ventus sleeping.
Dream Drop Distance be like:
Kinda reminds me of Noctis. He also loves to sleep alot
@@25shadow11Ven probably has more energy from all that sleep than every character in the multiverse combined
Remember when we were all laughing about Re:Coded canonicity? Good times.
Lmfaoo
Re coded 2 when now? XD
💀
"Glitches to feed my Darkness" - Data Sora's Heartless
TOO SOON lol
Well the fact that Master's Defender is in the real world along with Ephemer's spirit means that Brain succeeded.
I find that kinda offensive
@@jaylenhioe2868 What?
A Human I said “offensive” because the details are getting kinda confusing (I forgot to mention that). What defender?
@@jaylenhioe2868 That's the name of the Keyblade that Brain gave to Ephemer, Master's Defender.
SpellMasterTsubasa oh, you mean the one that will later be passed down to Eraqus?
Darkness really used the word Grooming, god damn
... Yes? That's an appropriate word for the situation.
@@Someguyhere111 i know, just surprised they actually went and used it
Ugh....its right too...
It’s sad to see this coming to an end, but i’m happy to be here with everyone
I'm glad to see this tedious chapter in the series finally come to its end.
@Ayu Tsakata Music lmfao
@Ayu Tsakata Music What was the point of the passive aggressiveness? I swear KH Fans can't have opinions without getting attacked or ridiculed by another KH Fan.
@@ahuman404 That's fandom culture for ya
@Ayu Tsakata Music Who said anything about KH2FM? Hell, even Re:Coded was better than this.
“None of these makes sense to me”
Luxu, your Braig is showing.
"As if"
Awesome, right? This next phase of the saga will be so spicy if they keep giving us this kind of stuff.
That’s what I was thinking ❤️
Right? People keep saying he sounding more like MoM. I think he's starting to sound like Xigbar!
MoM kinda talks like... Demyx.
@@Jericko427 I think Demyx is the only one left we don’t even have a clue to a backstory! Anything goes at this point, and I have also thought the charisma matches between MoM and Demyx... but not skill and bravery... idk.
I hope we see this side of Elrena in the future games.
Do you think we will?
@@MegaSpideyman Well I think we'll defintelly see more of Lauriam and Elrena, since they are probably back to normal after KH3. So hopefully.
@@sorarockss93 Seeing some interaction between older Lauriam and Ven might be fun.
@@pokechatter KH has a lot of interactions we need and probably wont get. Just look at how little Roxas and Ventus we got.
Aw, c'mon, Everglow. Your face and voice are not ugly. It's awesome. And you're still a good looking guy.
Now I really want to see Elrena in the new games with this personality
All I can think of when they mention sleep is the sleeping worlds and the quote "so many are still waiting for their new beginning their birth by sleep" i can't help but wonder if it's all interconnected in some way like is the data world still asleep and if so how many keyblade wielders are there.
A metric fuck ton by the sounds of it. Which is interesting seeing as the Keyblade war was supposed to y’know... cull and purge a majority of them.
Is “data sleep” different from normal sleep in kingdom hearts? It can be hard keeping track of all these layers
@@ikariiprince that’s where this episodes insinuation goes of the rails. Because what its implying is that a majority if not all of KH’s events thus far have been in the data world. And it’s possible that Quadratum is actually the first “real” world in the KH universe. P
Ephermer and the "dead" players that save Sora.
@@CosmicGaijin It did. The Dandelions were a very small fraction from the amount of actual Keyblade wielders in Real Daybreak Town
So 5 life pods remain and only 4 of them had gone to the real world: Ventus, Lauriam, Elrena and Brain
Meaning the ones that remain so far in the Digital Daybreak Town are the "player", Skuld, and Ephemer, but only one would remain.
The climax of Union χ is upon us, even I long to see this be remade as a console game in the Unreal Engine.
Chances are that Skuld and Ephemer are leaving next all things considered.
This my prediction. Skuld & E is goin to squeeze in the last pod N got separated, while the player stay back to hold off the heartless or whatever. Since a lot of people think it was Skuld is the missing girl Axel is looking for. This da only logic explanation to how E was in kingdom hearts 3.
And there’s still no hind nor hair of luxord and demyx’s original selves.
@@theheroneededwillette6964 im convince demyx might be ventus nobody 😱 or mom
Could the last pod be for kairi. I know we havent seen her in union x but we did see her in a pod
Ephemer: Someone's here to see you.
Lauriam: Who?
WWE Ad: THE ROCK IS THE GREAT ONE!
I got no nobody out pizza's the hut lol
I got mcdonalds lmao
Ephemer: Someone's here to see you.
Lauriam: Who?
WWE Ad: IIIIIIITSSSSS DA BIG SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU.
[Lauriam apologises to Ven and admits that he's in the wrong for holding him responsible for Strelitzia's death instead of the actual culprit, because Darkness was too abstract and intangible]
🥲
[Lauriam contemplates murdering Ven to ensure that Darkness is gone, likely both as a form of vengeance against Darkness and as a mercy kill for poor Ven]
😢
[Lauriam being placated by Strelitzia's ghost/lingering essence, and then carrying Ven around like the princess he is, and promising Ephemera that he'll take care of him]
🥲
[knowing that Lauriam doesn't actually get to fulfil that promise, because Xehanort doesn't find him or the others with Ven before Birth by Sleep]
😢
Something bad happens to all of them once they get back. Idk what, but it has been implied throughout the series. I'm only curious what happened to Lauriem because he's been playing a big role since the union leaders came together, but the fact he doesn't uphold any of this and didn't even try to form a connection with Roxas who looked exactly like Ven is very interesting
@@TheGlo0m
Seeing as Luxu's having an confrontation with the Darkness that's in the real Daybreak Town, chances are, the four of them won't be having a smooth transfer from the first trip to the second trip.
It's implied that Marluxia didn't bond with Roxas because he, like Ven (and Subject X, who's likely Skuld), lost his memories of the Age of Fairytales, and therefore didn't recognise Roxas' physical resemblance to Ven. His dialogue in KH3 after his defeat suggests as much. (Here's hoping the recompleted Lauriam will now try to contact and reconnect with Ven in the future games.)
@@kimberlyng9846 yup yup!
Luxu laying down some sick burns on darkness...and imagining the conversation happening in xigbars sarcastic voice makes it even better.
GAAAAH. This was two updates from the end and they're STILL mixing everything up?! This created so many more questions than it answered.
#KingdomHearts
Your wording confuses me. This is part 1 of the ending. Part 2 is coming next and then that’s it
It’s not that complicated 😅
@@gracekim1998 It kinda is
Ephemer should be outside with the Master Defender, as well as maybe Skuld (is she the girl of the KH3 secret reports?)
Meanwhile, Brain is still a big question mark
And who are the six Darknesses? Why six?
@@gracekim1998 oh so its not the end yet k thnks
With all these data stuff going on, I think Re:Coded became more important now
Darkness is the Virus who brings worlds to dreams, and the Abyss.
The fact that that one random place you went to at the end of the World Terminus in KH1 holds so much weight now...
I hope the second part of the finale is good. I'd like to see a connection between Riku and Vanitas's "dark suits" to the "Darkness" being, and the destruction of Daybreak Town and building of Scala.
How the dark suit work could be implied, as both were Xehanort disciples in one way or another, embracing the darkness at one point under his influence (Ansem taking Riku's body and Vanitas being basically made by Xehanort).
I’m trapped... I’m trapped in the data world! All of that just so I would be imprisoned lol
So Ephemer was given the Master’s Defender Keyblade and was then passed down to Eraqus? That explains a lot
Sarcasm? If Ephemer got stuck in the data world how the heck did Master's Defender get passed onto Eraqus? Wait are we in the data world.....?! Or am I missing something?
@@alessio_cali Ye we are, Ephemer must've made it to the real somehow otherwise Eraqus wouldn't get the Keyblade later.
Unless that comment about “data copies” winds up meaning that the entire KH series thus far has been one level deep into the realm of data, Ephemer, or at least Master Keeper, needs to make it outside.
@@pinkwings8036 Wouldn't that be something?
@@sorarockss93 i think my brain would snap if that was the twist.
2:08 Skulmeyer intensifies
2:20 So Ven blacked out after fighting darkness. That explains the small time skip
3:20 Architectural Inconsistency intensifies
5:29 After all this time, I'm still concerned. All these keyblade wielders, who were they before their appearance in Daybreak Town? They're kids. Were they drafted or something? I thought maybe they were data made flesh like the munny bag in KH2 or something, but I dunno.
5:50, oh frick, that's more evidence to my theory. The Master only saw through the eye. He could've decided the Union Leaders, but he couldn't have predicted Ava's choices for all the other dandelions.
11:14 Six? Not Seven or Thirteen? I guess that sort of makes sense. Young Xehanort said Darkness is being alone.
12:15 Huh? The lifeboat is still here? Is this another KH3 situation with confusing cutscene chronology?
14:10 So Data Worlds can create Sleeping Worlds. Guess Young Xehanort was wrong.
18:43 So my guess is the Master Defender was someone else's keyblade(or otherwise a keychain), passed down with the book. It was supposed to go to Ephemer, but Ava gave it to Brain instead, meaning we still haven't seen Brain use his own keyblade.
19:47 SHIP
12:15
Wdym? The lifeboat in the middle was destroyed when Lauriam fought Maleficent, and the back right one was taken by Maleficent. None of the other lifeboats were ever used.
If you're thinking about the scenes between Luxu and Darkness, those are taking place in the real world. That's a different set of 7 lifeboats. In the real world, there's not a broken pod, there's just two missing ones, being Maleficent (again) and the thing in the white cloak.
@@Riku70X So there's two different sets.
@@slateoffate9812
Yes. The data pods take the users to the real world. That's where Maleficent went and that's where the 4 wielders are headed right now.
The real pods take the users into the future. That's where Maleficent went (To clarify, she took both kinds of lifeboat. She got in the data pod, got out in the real world, then jumped right into a real pod), and she ended up at the beginning of KH2, 1000+ years later.
Luxu sent the white cloak into the future, we have no idea when it may have ended up.
There's 5 pods left. Ventus, Elrena and Lauriam are almost guranteed to take pods, since they exist in the future. Luxu and Brain probably won't take any pods (also, Luxu will likely give Brain the No Name keyblade).
That leaves two pods for 4 candidates, Ephemer, Skuld, the player character, and Darkness. One of the travellers needs to become Subject X, so Skuld will likely go to fill that role. The last pod could be any of them, my money is on Darkness.
@@Riku70X one thing still confuse me with luxu. He's supposed to be an observer, and he may stay in the real world that's _about to succumb_ , then how did he survive and be in the future? I know I may have missed some details of his fate, thus i asked
1:59 - I don't know which, but that's a death flag for one of those two.
I really hope we get these versions of Lauriam and Elrena back in the next phase. Both in terms of their looks, so they can get out of those one note Organization cloaks, but also the personalities. Even if they keep some of the edge of their Nobody days (Larxene the Snark Queen), it'd be fun to see them interact with at bare minimum each other with the kind of openness they'd have after each being the last of those that the other knew from the Dandelions. Heck, set up a scene with the two of them reuniting with Ventus. Even without his memories from the UX days, that could still bring the emotional investment that KH has when it really sings. Heck, make that one of the side-games for the next phase. Lauriam and Elrena hunting down clues about Strelitzia while also trying to get Data Daybreak Town started back up so they can pull everyone out of it. They could lead into it with either a scene with Ven recovering these memories OR by having that point in time be where Skuld was spat out (since it seems like Strelitzia might be the mystery girl from kh3 docs). :D
Well, shoot, now how did Ephemer and that keyblade end up out and about for Eraqus to inherit....? Probably (hopefully) events from the other half of the finale.
I could see Strelitzia being Kairi's grandma
Thanks Everglow for the trip!
That would make some crazy sense 😵
Lmao! How crazy is it that I don’t think anyone’s ever come up with the theory that Kairi and Marluxia are actually related but it might be a very really possibility now 😭 my head hurts
Wait a minute! Wait a minute! People saying that Kairi's grandmother was Master Ava! Aaaagghhh! I'm so confused!
@@johnsantos507 there are theories for both. Personally I think her grandmother is Ava
@@ikariiprince And another think, I know the white coat is Strelitzia. But, who's the guy in the black coat? Is it Luxu/Xigbar? Or the Master of Masters?
The existence of the lifeboat chamber is fascinating to me. It will be interesting to see how it ties to Hollow Bastion and End of the World, where this chamber appeared in the original Kingdom Hearts... 🍥
I do like the thought of the player being Xehanort. It would make sense in many ways, but also has anyone else noticed that the character’s name can only be 8 letters long? How many letters are in Xehanort? 8.
'Till now I thought the girl Lea and Isa were looking for was Skuld but now I suspect it really is Strelitzia.
She was taken out by Darkness but I think Luxu used her data to revive her and made her the True Dandelion
She was sent to the future where she ended up in Radiant Garden with no memories and was found by Ansem the Wise and Xehanort
Not to mention Luxu/Braig clearly knew her and he took her away to who knows where according to the KH3 reports.
Two problems with that though. Subject X mentions "4 friends and a key" of which Streletizia doesn't have anything of that nature to relate to.
Plus, it's been confirmed that Subject X has black hair.
@@MrSentinel07 Where was it confirmed that X had black hair?
@@MrSentinel07 indeed, the only possibility is that Subject X is Skuld
Right now we know both Ephemer and Skuld will go back to the real world, somehow, so we only know the CAC wil be missing, and we're sure about that because Master's Defender will be Eraqus's keyblade and its previous owner was Eraqus's grandfather, who fought Darkness by his own, before this cutscene we thought he was Brain but now we can say he's Ephemer
What can I say except "Darkness stole Lauriam's sister's body"?
You mean the Specter-nobody in Chain of Memories? who looks like this: kh.wiki.gallery/images/b/b2/Marluxia_%28Second_Form%29_KHRECOM.png (notice the girl-face right under the Nobody's symbol
@@derokdeathaxe6984 now that..... makes alot of sense now
@@derokdeathaxe6984 If that is true then phase 2 ideas have been seeded for a very long time.
@@RFDN0 or maybe he decided after kh2 u.u i mean i think it's pretty easy to create flashbacks when you know the future XD (i suck at explaining i know sorry) i mean the final destination(for now) is Kh3, who are in Kh3? Org13, and characters we already know, a white hair guy(i mean Ephemer but at the time we didn't know his name) and an unknown girl called Subject X(let's leave aside the nameless star for now...who is probably Strelitzia's mind/conscience)...but part of Org13's members didn't have a backstory(Marluxia, Larxene, Luxord and Demyx) and with KHUx we have backstories for Marluxia, Larxene and Ephemer...and we know the true origins of Vanitas and Ventus(who simply popped up in Birth by Sleep with Xehanort...who we learn in Dark Road that he has some sort of mental-connection with Player)
@@derokdeathaxe6984 That is also likely. But he had ideas that could be used for future ideas as seeded details via vague but potentially meaningful design choices.
>Ephemer and MC stay behind
>Skuld gets out with the last pod and becomes patient X
>There are two dark infernos
True
But dark inferno is a pure breed?
6 darknesses and Vanitas was one of them, intresting
This only raises further questions for me.
They represent the 7 black pieces at end of KH3. This is going to be the "new game" that young Eraqus mentions.
I’m still reeling from the fact that there was ANOTHER key-blade war before the one with the foretellers.
But will Vanitas return or is one of these Darknesses already gone ?
@@theheroneededwillette6964 yeah when it happened i was like "wHy is the keyblade graveyard already a graveyard"
So I guess this heavily implies the True Dandelion is Strelitzia. Very interesting that Elrena kind of ended up there by chance lol
Hence why she was "just along for the ride"
For those confused, no, the Xehanort Saga did not happen in the digital (back-up) world. It happened in the real world. Case in point:
a) Luxu is still in the real world
b) Ven, Lauram and Elrena were sent to the real world
c) Maleficent got sent back to her own time using a lifeboat from the real world
d) there is still one lifeboat in the virtual world, so eventually either Ephemer or someone carrying Master's Defender will use it to get out.
Also, Re.Coded can still be skipped. KH2 basically has it covered in regards to the digital world.
So what you're saying is that the Xehanort Saga took place in the Data World. LOL. JK. Just messing with you.
Re Coded reveals how Darkness infects things, and gets Maleficent set on looking for "the Book" because Jimmy's Journal is like "The Book".
@@Fragmentsinfractals488 We already got a good idea of how infectious Darkness is from the very first game. And much like her search for the box in KH3, her role there is merely to draw attention to stuff that will be referenced in the future. Without any impact on the overall story.
@@9872efrDarkness never infects data in that game. Darkness isn't shown to feed on glitches until Re Coded. Also, Re coded is in a Book, a book like the Tome of Prophecies.
Also, Re Coded triggers Maleficent to start looking for the Box. It unlock a subconscious memory.
@@Fragmentsinfractals488 What about Tron's world from KH2? That is composed of data, and the Darkness got in there. Also, we have no indication that she just remembered when entering the diary. For all we know, she knew about since she returned from the past. Not that it matters, considering the search for the box was pointless.
Also, there is no clear answer to when the lifeboat materialized in the real world. We know Ventus does at some point when Master Xehanort is an old man. But Xigbar finds Marluxia, so it's possible Luxu finds Lauriam and makes Marluxia as part of the big picture along with Elrena / Larxene.
Luxu secret report seems to imply Skuld is found too by him and then locked away. Creating the secret star.
I know how this is gonna go down. Skuld gets the last lifeboat while Ephemer and our character stay behind.
The problem is Master's defender. Either she needs to take that with her or if it is left in the data world then we need the entire KH universe to be in the data world.
In theory if the player and Ephamer are reduced to hearts and enter Skuld's body they might be able to escape the data world together. But only 1 could go to the future. Assuming Brain doesn't go into the future but chooses to stay in the past then 2 pods to the future are avalible with 1 out of the data world.
@Ayu Tsakata Music We were told Skuld is Patient X. That could be a lie though. Only options are her or Ava though.
@@RFDN0
We're never told that Subject X is Skuld, she's just the most likely option.
@@Riku70X I remember hearing second hand about Namora verifying it was Skuld.
@@RFDN0 That was absolutely and definitely never confirmed, nowhere lmao. People are still speculating to this day who Subject X is
A lot of new elements in these last couple updates. The Master of Masters talking about the Seven Crowns, and now the Six forms of Darkness (of which Vanitas is certainly one of). Plus how the Master's Defender is getting passed down.
All very intriguing developments.
Marluxia and Larxene’s deaths in KH3 hit different now that this is released.
KIngdom Hearts 3 secret report 12 from Luxu.
"Amid the chaos, I bequeathed my Keyblade to one of the Union leaders, just as the Master instructed. I watched as the Five were sent to another worldline-at no small cost-ensuring the line of Keyblade wielders will live on. And now, Keybladeless, I must depart this land to fulfill my final task. This means casting my own body aside and sojourning my heart in vessel after vessel-as many as it takes."
Sound familiar at all??? I'm calling it right now, Brain in Luxu.
No, I disagree. Luxu isn't meant to intervene so he can't be Brain by default. The passage does however raise a timeline question/inconsistency. It would imply that Luxu gave the keyblade away at some point between the start of the war and the Dandelions going to the digital world but he still clearly has it to fight the darkness thats in the real world. Perhaps its foreshadowing events to come in part 2. The leaders arrive, Luxu bequeaths No Name to Brain and 5 weilders are sent off again to fight - but something goes wrong which could be why certain people get scattered. Skuld becomes Subject X, Larium and Elena maybe loose their hearts to be found by Xigbar as Nobodies, Ven ends up at some point before BBS
@@NoTimeStudios He has shown that he is willing to interprete the Masters will to suit himself already though. Not to mention that he is intervening by sending data Strelitzia "The true dandelion" through the Ark as well. Even if it is shown in part 2 that he isn't Luxu, this seems way too close to this scene not to be connected some how and like you said somebody in that room has the No Name keyblade. The Master has made it very clear that the book only contains info on what the keyblade has seen and Luxu clearly knows whats going on in that room from the book, which means that either he is there or one of them has his keyblade already.
What I really want to know is how Masters Defender ends up back in the real world.
Inb4 every KH game to date has been in this “data world” and we still haven’t been in or seen the “real world” *sweating*
Imagine if the real world is Verum Rex's Quadratum
@@Calvinooi honestly, that can be a very strong possibility now.
@@Calvinooi It turns out that Verum Rex wasn't the game inside the world of Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts was the game inside the world of Quadratum.
Oh don't do this to my brain... please
@@briankelly130 exactly. And the fact that it’s something MoM couldn’t predict and conceive means that Quadratum is the real world. And the characters are now entering reality. Which is why Kingdom Hearts isn’t the moon, which is why everything is different. And it’s possibly the beginning of the final Keyblade War that MoM intends on causing in the real world as a chance to finally wipe out the darkness once and for all since he’ll have Kingdom Hearts as a weapon to use to shape reality to what he’s wanted which is a reality where Darkness no longer exists.
I wonder what will happen to lauriam and elrena, we saw their nobodies as adults. Oooooh I'm ever so curious!
i didnt expect a satisfactory conclusion, but i expected a conclusion, this is an interlude at best
Well, duh! I mean, even at the end it says there's at least three or four more to come. Nobody suggested that this was the final cutscene in the game.
There's still a part 2 to the finale
@@LittleZbot thats what im saying, i expected this to be the final update and the delay of the shutdown only to give players more time, not to have more time on the devs finishing the story
@@Nedeles What?! Why?! When has a delay ever NOT been for the sake of half-dead developers under too much pressure? Especially in the case of these games, which are notoriously disliked among the community (not that I agree, but most people decidedly do not like them) and players have had these games ready and playable for years at this point.
@@LittleZbot because i dont think making those quest are that hard or time cosuming in order of them needing 1-2 months for them to finish considering the animations, lack of voice acting and the translation of only 2 languajes
Ugly?!
*points*
You gotta be kidding me
Can't wait to see how this ends.
I really appreciate these videos. I’ve been stuck in the game in the candy kingdom levels and can’t advance.
6:50 Wait--- WAIT. Ok, so, if all died, and "the light of the children" rebuilt the worlds seperately, doesn't that mean that, whoever dies without memories or a vessel to return to, immediately passes through The World's End and becomes reborn? That means, like, a universal rebirth. If this is the case, what happens if there's no memories, but a medium by which to return at a certain point in the future? That would explain why Ventus, after traveling to the future, can't remember anything, because there was a medium, but no one that remembers him, so he didn't get "pieced together". On the other hand, if a heart is not yet reincarnated or reborn, though it doesn't have a medium or someone with their memories, doesn't that mean that, although without form, they can interfere at some point, even in death? Like, for instance, what happened at KH3 Graveyard? That means that, before someone is reborn or reincarnated, they still retain theirselves as long as they stay at The World's End. Sora literally resurrected and sent his spirit back in time to prevent the deaths of others, meaning Sora also has a connection to those who remain in The World's End, and if what I'm thinking is possible, that would mean that Sora, if he learns how to properly use it, now has the power to travel to any reality and able to aid every spirit possible in the whole of existance, meaning Sora can revive and bring back anyone as long as conditions are met. So, the point is, Sora, little by little, is becoming someone who can bend reality, time and space to the point where he can literally bring anything or anyone back from the dead, at any given point in space and time.
"Trapped in a Data World"
Is this a subtle to a theory that we are living in a simulation? 😅
No, the simulation in the Matrix is a brain thing. Data Worlds also act as pocket dimensions to contain actual bodies, not just minds.
really enjoyed going through this update live with you :)
I always get excited hearing a link to all!
I'm going to miss this game, it was so fun! I loved being a keyblade wielder with other wielders like the fan base
A journey that took years of updates is coming to an end, Union Cross is finally about to reveal all it's secrets and set the stage for the next encounter.
I am sure that modding will go beyond Nomura's madness after this.
Ramadan Kareem for everyone!
Thank you for bring this content so quick. Can't wait for the second part, amazing!! ^^
Eraqus, a descendant of Brain. Xehanort, a descendent of Ephemer....or Ephemer itself brought to the future with no memories whatsoever
So why stop him during the sleepy keyweilder surfboard vs shadownardo.
Is this what happened to Yozora? His (data)world fell to darkness, his world went into sleep mode, he met sora in sleep mode, beats sora, then his world reset back to the 'beginning'? (The vs13 intro)
Can’t wait to see who does Luxu select to hand off the No Name Keyblade in the next update!
Am I the only one that is suspicious of Brain? Luxu just confirmed to Darkness that the Book of Prophecies contains the identities of the people that ultimately end up using the lifeboats, meaning that Brain has had access to that information the entire time. He is the only person in the group that does not try to argue his placement in the lifeboat, or attempt to sacrifice his place for another person. In fact he is the first one to propose that him and Ephemer specifically split up and convinces Ephemer and Skuld to not use the final pod.
Him giving the Book and the Keyblade to Ephemer, alongside the confirmation that Ephemer has never read the Book, the entire exchange just seems like one really big ominous flag. Even how he pulls his hat down just before being transported by the pod.
Brain called himself a virus before, just like Luxu called the impostor of the new leaders a "virus in the program". Also, Luxu will also pass his keyblade to one of them, and conveniently, one is now lacking a keyblade... I got a bad feeling about it.
And remember, the Gazing Eye is seen in dark road
Inside scala ad caelum, a place he presumably founded from daybreak town
While I think that everything else very well could be true, Luxu's whole deal is that he DIDN'T read the Book of Prophecies, and only has his Heart and wit to guide him. He was probably just guessing/poking fun at Darkness, since he knows that Darkness did read the Book while the Master was writing it
If Skuld didn't leave, that's discard the theority that she is pacient X, the girl that Isa and Lea be friend.
There's still one pod left. She still might end up getting out.
I am beyond being confused at this point. They’re still dropping new lore? Six shadows? I’m lost!
Remember the scene with Eraques and Xehanort about 7 black pieces at the end of KH3. Perhaps related
@@Shadowslayer417 But the 7 black pieces represents MoM and the Masters.
No basis but I'm pretty sure Xehanort is one of them given form. Remember the scene in DDD? Where he's alone on Destiny Islands saying "this world is too small". Quite fitting Darkness "expansion" thing
@@jeanmi9253 their heartless 🤔 when a master loses their heart perhaps it becomes a shadow. Since their hearts are too strong 🧐
@@Narcanthril nice touch with DDD 👌🏻
6 Shadows, and one is Vanitas. Wonder who are the other 5 and where they are, except the one in the real world fighting Luxu. Now we know that was Strelitzia the one in the pod but I doubt that she is Subject X that was imprisoned in Ansem's castle. This is going to be interesting :)
And this poor Lauriam becomes a Nobody. The same nobody who joind Organization 13.
Good thing is that he gained back his memories after Sora beat him the third time.
And I still cant believe that our innocent Elrena becomes the bad bitch Larxene that we knew today
@@captainvalourous6668
Yeah. At least now she has her memories back. Let’s hope she reunites with the Dandelions. We already know they survive because of Ephemer's appearance in KH 3. Meaning Sora saved the Dandelions and freed the souls of the fallen Keyblade Wielders who died in the Keyblade War. It was such a tear jerking moment seeing all those Keyblades flash back to life and help Sora. I couldn’t stop crying.
What if the Master destroyed Elrena and Lauriam so they have no bodies to return to so when they took the Lifeboats they just came back as Nobody's?
Ephemer and skuld are the real ancestors of Eraqus.
Change my mind
There is a theory long ago that Xehanort and Eraqus were Ephemera's and Skuld's children 😅
@@captainvalourous6668 Some time ago I thought too that xehanort could have been Ephemera's son or grandson, mostly by the way they looked (black jacket with white shirt and grey/silver hair).
But knowing now that he is just a lonely boy on an island makes me think that he wasn't their son
@@Destatix more like he is related to the player character
@@LimitPro1 I really hope not.
I hope the player character comes out as something important even for the future games, but like I said, that is just hope.
I think Eraqus could be Ephemer's son because of their very similar personality
@@Destatix 1st: i ship Ephemer and Skuld. 2nd: Pretty sure SKuld is Subject X 3rd: Xehanort has some sort of connection to Player, because he is able to dream about Player's past...(pretty sure that Xehanort's obsession for the Keyblade War is because he had dreams of Player during that War...i mean it's pretty much stated at the beginning of Dark Road)
Oh man. I have been following all this for some time, and I love it. I eagerly await the finale!
Random questions:
- Six Darkness?! Who's the other one we saw? When? I mean, I can't remember the two (?!) Darkness we saw and when!
- If the world restores itself as a protection, why sis they act like this? I mean, they just had to wait for the world to restore and have all of the pods to use! Or, since everything is made of data, they could just create copies of the pods and have enough for everyone!
- Why did they choose to give a pod to Elrena or sleeping Ventus? I mean, Elrena is a "nobody" in this story and Ventus is sleeping (so, he's useless)
It gets very interesting but I can't get over these silly things!
because they're meant to be in the future, Elrena is Larxene, Ventus is...Ventus (duh!) and we know that Darkness/Vanitas will be in the future too...so it's something meant to be...they called Destiny...we call it: Nomura doesn't want to retcon the old stuff so he had to make new stuff...but in the past and connect the old stuff with the new stuff...XD
- One Darkness we see here fighting against Luxu, another we saw in the previous update and is now inside Ventus (probably the one that becomes Vanitas).
- Maybe they need to be in the real world to create the pods. If the real world falls to slumber then so will they. Being in the Data World kept them safe. Maybe they'd rather act than fall asleep being unable to do anything.
- Elrena might be a "nobody" and Ventus might be "useless", but this is Kingdom Hearts, friends don't think that way. It's meant to be wholesome.
@@sorarockss93 if darkness wants to eradicate the light, and the dandelions were to be sent to preserve light (pure light), maybe the five will attach to individuals that go through the pods (five were used); also one of the dandelions is getting the Gazing Eye keyblade, which most likely will go to one who might not need the darkness
6 darkness left... one with luxu, one with ven, and other 4 inside the other apprentices besides ava. Explains them on the dark side of chess board
Six left...one with Luxu, one with MoM, and four of them inside the foretellers. The one with Ven became Vanitas and was wiped out. My guess is Luxu is going to get "infected" and that's why he summons them to him at the end of Kingdom Hearts 3...not sure why else he would summon 4 bros with Darkness in them....but they didn't seem like they had darkness in them. They were just like "uhh Luxu, what the hell is going on"
You know this is really interesting because this is the first time we've actually seen the Darkness as it's own thing. Usually we see it take over other people and use them. And while it does do that in this game, this is the first time we actually get to hear why the Darkness does what it does and it's thought process in all of this. It's kind of strange but also interesting take on something that usually we give no form to.
KH just keeps getting better and better!
6 Shadows?! Okay, Vanitas is definitely one, but the question is he the same one we've been seeing here? Doubt it, but we'll see. I am wondering something though- Brain's keyblade. It's obvious it exists in the real world, so I wonder if the version Brain gave Emphemer is just a 'data version' of the real one or if it is? Wow!
Doesn't have to be Vanitas. In KH3, we see when Sora goes to his dive of heart after beating Vanitas, that there is darkness there
So one more part? It's been a crazy +7 years with this story. Finally getting all the answers... and questions.
Well, this is unexpected. The time to fulfill our role as Keyblade welders is coming to an end, but in order to make a good future to all, we decided to be left behind and watch the destruction. I never expected Elrena to be a key element in here. Time for Elrena and Lauriam to perform another coup. Who will use the final lifeboat?
i mean...Larxene is in the real world...busy insulting Sora XD the final Lifeboat is for Skuld...she pretty much is Subject X(the description fits Skuld) www.khwiki.com/Subject_X
it should be skuld, cuz we know she is probably subjectX....while ephemer and player maybe will find a way ( reading the book) to get in contact with future people from the data world ( ephemer with sora and player with xehanort)
@@stopper4674 i think that the whole player-xehanort connection is something that only happen when they share the same "plane of existance" like to be connected they must be both in the real world...maybe xehanort is Nightmare Chirithy who gained a body or reborn as a human
@@derokdeathaxe6984 we have to see if brain will find a way to bring back all 3 in the real daybreak town...but in this case it would have no sense that he gave to ephemer the book and the keyblade if in the next update he saved all them
@@stopper4674 there will be no, next update as far as i know(the game supposed to close around these days)...the rest of the KHUx's story will be in some other game...maybe KH3.5 or directly KH4...Dark Road(which will be closed/shut down in May) will be all about Xehanort...
Brain could either be the guy with the hat from Verum Rex since he gave his keyblade away and that guy has no keyblade either. Brain could also possibly be Ienzo since the hair is a bit similar and both of them stick around a book mostly.
no that's not possible, ienzo is younger than brain since ienzo was a kid in bbs.
Finally about to catch up on this ending! Let's go!!!
So if darknesses can possess people, can it be assumed that at one point xehanort was possessed because his eyes at one point went from grey to yellow? Also has me thinking that if he gave some of his heart to the 13 darknesses, he also passed it on to xigbar (luxu ) and demyx because they’re still nobodies and both of their eyes are still yellow. Idk. Also I think ephemer will pass on his keyblade to skuld and send her into the real world, she’ll somehow leave the master defender and get sent into the future where she will have no memories. I really hope this isn’t a twist that all of kh has been in the data world
Yellow eyes are evident of those who have been exposed to darkness for long amounts of time
S-S-Strelitzia was the "TRUE DANDELION" all along?!!?!?!?
I still can't believe that the next update is gonna be the last one...
Guess we'll see how Skuld gets in the last one. I have a guess but it's now puzzling how Brain's keyblade got to Luke Skywalker.
I love how they've completely forgotten the cosmic rule they set in DDD that there are only supposed to be 7 sleeping worlds that correspond to the 7 princesses of heart and now they are implying that Daybreak Town will become one if it's destroyed
It might be just what they "know" about.. like they said on the first game there is only ONE keyblade wielder..
To be fair, they never gave a shit about that rule in the first place 'cause as Yen Sid was delivering this very exposition about how the sleeping worlds are supposed to be 7, there were at that point only six sleeping worlds as Destiny Islands was already in the realm of light.
@@SkyHester135 If they only "knew of" 7, they wouldn't have name dropped the princesses to imply some sort of correlation. But they've never been even close to consistent with the rules they set in DDD so it literally doesn't matter
@@vrovvv The brilliant thing about characters is that they can be wrong. Yen Sid didn't even know that the organization was after Sora during the mark of mastery and that Xehanort was planning to make him a vessel. His knowledge isn't all knowing when it comes to the data and sleeping worlds.
@@SkyHester135 and the KH1 example is also veeery poor cause Mikey, Donald and Goofy were all around to see and even interact with Keyblade wielders. As it was written in KH1 that wasn't the case. This plothole is easier to forgive though, KH1 being the oldest in the franchise. DDD was like 2 games ago I don't understand why they literally don't care about what they write anymore.
What's happens when next theater comes.
Would Strelitzia give that Keyblade to that protagonist,
Or Ephemer and Skuld that are become masters?
Ephemer's presence seems to end-up being connected to the Keyblade Graveyard and Skuld becomes Subject X in Radient Garden as heavily implied by the KH3 Secret Reports and Character Files book.
With how Lauriam has been having visions of Stralitzia, the optimist in me is thinking that Stralitzia is taking refuge inside Lauriam's heart just like Kairi did inside Sora for most of KH1.
Ugh, why am I watching so many sad endings today?? Earlier I watched the season 15 finale of Ninjago, and now THIS ;(
2:47 Dat face.
3;28 Elrena?
4:10 Nani?
6:15 Who wouldn't?
9:29 Oh snap!
12:58 Oh snap!
16:55 Oh snap! Pacey's talking again. He's staying because the plot demands it.
18:12 Nani?
20:05 Off they go.
So does this confirm the player is Xehanort, because he got sent to the future like the rest of them?
So it makes since the scene where you get a Spirit is the last scene because everyone is gone and the player is lonely
I like you character's hairstyle! Makes him look unique
It's okay, i just cried my lungs out nothing much!
Can't wait to see the years long game ended with a handful of answers and 30 times more questions. Not to mention people stuck somewhere needing to be saved in a later main installment. Again.
Well, in the next episode something something will happen Lauriam and Elrena. And let's wait Ven getting picked up by Xehanort. (BBS intensifies*)
cant wait to see the endgame of the masters plan. This damn mobile game has more depth than most mainline games its insane
AFTER 2 FUCKING YEARS ELRENA IS FINALLY IN ANOTHER UPDATE
So Strelitizia, Brain, and Skuld went into the future with Laruriem and Elreana. The question that getting me is where is Brain, we know Skuld was the mysterious girl Lea and Isa were looking for. No one knows what happened to him.
My first guess was that he somehow got himself into a other time period (earlier then the rest) since there is still that speculation that eraqus and brain are related, there are also theories about eraqus and brain being the same person or that ienzo is brain( i honestly don't think this is the case cause ienzo is way younger then brain in bbs and they don't look that much alike unless brain would have done the same as luxu did to braig, which once again i think is not the case) al i know is things are getting stranger and stranger by the minute
I’m guessing Brain is Yozora. Seeing as he is aware of so many things and even says that Yozora isn’t his real name or his real form.
@@CosmicGaijin sounds like a pretty interesting theory
@@manamoon9149 all I know is that this franchise is a absolute wild ride. I can’t wait to see how it ends.
@@CosmicGaijin i legit can't wait for the next update And games i'm way to hyped right now ๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑
At least now we know where Vanitus came from.
So 6 darknesses. A darkness perhaps for each vice of the soul. Like theres 3 parts of the soul; Couage, Apatite, and Wisdom. And according to Aristotle every virtue sits between two opposite vices.
And now we have an explanation for why Ven, Lauriam, and Elrena remember none of Union X, and how they are in the present in the first place. Neat! But we also don't know how Master's Defender got to Eraqus or what became of Brain.
Well, there is a theory about Eraqus and a possible relationship to Brain. There is a conversation in Dark Road that makes some players think that it is entirely possible with the theory.
Are you up to date with Dark Road in the story?
I had to go back to my last comment on the previous video because I couldn’t remember my theory:
“Okay, here’s my shot in the dark (pun very much intended): All of the current Dandelions make it out of the data world to the real world. Brain becomes Xehanort and Eraqus’s teacher in Dark Road (in my head, the only way for Eraqus to get the Master Defender). Ephemer fights the darkness for as long as he can until he can’t fight anymore. Skuld is subject x. And we already know what happens to Lauriam and Ven.
I think the True Dandelion has to be a character we’ve already been introduced to, but is outside of these 5.”
The only few I got right were Ven and Lauriam leaving in the pods, and the person in the white robe being someone we already met (Strelitzia, according the the newest update). I’m very surprised to see what happens because they would not have introduced a character like Strelitzia without her being important to the story.
Strelitzia's nobody is probably the Spectre from Chains of Memories kh.wiki.gallery/images/b/b2/Marluxia_%28Second_Form%29_KHRECOM.png
I'm pretty sure Brain isn't the teacher in Dark Road. I can't remember if it's said in DR or the KH3 secret reports but he's at least a few generations decended. The only way it could work is if he's also body hoping as well but not sure what would be his reason to do so? I think we'll see him "succeed" at getting Skuld, Ephemer and the PC out but I suspect Ux will be the end of his storyline regardless.
@@NoTimeStudios I’m waiting for the dark road update to finish the story there as well. With Ephemer having the Master Defender at the end of the chapter, it makes it much more likely that Brain succeeds in getting everyone else out. I’m just surprised I got something right with Strelitzia being in the white robe 😂😂
I have a theory:the master of master is the player in the future .The player can see the master and the foretrellers,maybe he is warning him of what will happen to him if continue like this,he seeing his adulto life,and he saw what happen with his more advanced power he made someone like him,sora,had the keyblade and not riku,an older representation of the teacher would laugh,riku would solve it right away and sora no,he would be a person quite capable that if the teacher fails ,he asumes the role of teacher,thats why he has those eyes in one of those struggles
What's the name if the song that starts at 18:00? It's one of my favorite tracks but I can't find the name anywhere does anyone know it?
link to all
20 minutes of pure story? I wonder how many years they would' ve streched this out, if Union X wasn' t ending. Let' s see: Story was always given in like 2 minutes bits, right? So they would' ve milked this content for at least 10 more months.
So does Ephemer get out of data world and the ones in pods are in a comma state until someone from the outside wakes them up such that Xehanort takes Ventus and subject X may be Skuld but Elrina and Lauriam are then awoken later into Organization 13 even so what about Brain?
no, they just exit the data world. besides kairi still got to destiny islands even when she used the lifeboat, even though it was a different one
It's clear that we NEED kingdom hearts 4
Damn so her secret 🤫 to Sora was to help find his sister after they got recompleted
