@AT Productions what they mean is that there was very little direction given, like usually when recording voice lines you often also have someone who directs to make sure the lines come out as they should but when that's not there, voice actors have to impose self directing which is a skill on its own
@@jdogzerosilverblade299 I mean, within the context I'm pretty sure Repliku hates him for taking his identity and sense of self for granted like that, considering how badly he wants to be his own person and to him it makes no sense that Riku just "gets to be" the real one because he came first, even though they're the same. It's the same as "How are you the real you?" and answering with "I just am".

"Mickey, it's Riku! They put bugs in him!" excuse me this is EXACTLY why you SHOULD introduce Kingdom Hearts to your friends. 11/10 Game of the Year Award material.
My best friend from high school came over one time when I was playing the Kingdom Hearts 1.5 remix on ps3 before the release of 2.5. He saw an interaction with Ariel in Atlantica and he said, "Ah thats hella gay..." Fast forward to 2021, I am livestreaming the 1.5 2.5 remix on twitch and he drops into the stream, the last time he watched one of my livestreams and the last thing he said before he left when he saw Donald and Goofy receiving news of Mickeys disappearance was "God this disney sh%$ is gay." Knew him since 2010 I believe, never changed... Edit: in hindsight I am unsure if the 2.5 remix was out at the time I just know my friend came over back when the ps3 was still popular and I was playing 1.5 and he made that comment.
Kingdom Hearts feels like an anomaly. I have no idea how it exists or why or who plays the games, but I kind of love it from a distance at the same time. Seeing disney characters try to be badass or have sensitive moments with anime characters is so damn funny
Yeah, when RUclipsrs describe the lore (that noone understands) and all the death and pain, it really feels like some epic final fantasy tragic epos. And then you remember that Donald and Goofy are there as main characters, they visit the toy story world and Maleficent together with Pete started a big chunk of this.
I know this is an old comment but as a long time fan of this game, this is exactly how I feel about the game and I love it. That's its charm. It tries to be serious but you really can't take it seriously sometimes and it's honestly more enjoyable that way. The scene where MM pulls out a keyblade with vengeance in his eyes for Goofy always cracks me up bc he's just not... hardcore like that lol but it's fun.
@@QueenOfDarknes5 but also Donald Duck can fire a laser more powerful than every year other final Fantasy dragon disintegrating someone at the cost of his life
My fave scene is where Demyx is running and yells “runn! Run awayy!” Sora replied: 🤨 ok? That was weird. When I first saw that scene I cracked up too much
I love that Demyx just casually walked into the underworld, got hit by the hero curse, ran away like a coward screaming, and Sora just sits there like "The fuck? Okay... weird... Anyways......."
Yeah. There's a lot of funny stuff without context... and it is fairly ridiculous with context. But the emotional beats can stand on their own, despite all of that.
0:32 I can appreciate that he already lost it at that point, but I'm quite disappointed that he missed Mickey's entrance. That's hands down the most ludicrous scene.
Agreed, as somebody who has played through the series, there are plenty of moments where the game makes you laugh (both intentionally and unintentionally) but in the end, the emotional moments still hit pretty hard. The ending of Birth By Sleep and 3 especially are really powerful I feel.
Yeah this is the kinda thing I find annoying about non kh fans looking in. It gives them an excuse to say “I knew this series was trash” honestly I just worry about it ruining the experience for someone who otherwise would’ve taken these moments seriously in the moment.
It's very silly. But it also plays it extremely straight so it can be feelsy in the moment (you know, when you have context). But hey, getting disney characters to do whacky shit that Disney would never approve of otherwise is prime meme material. Just look at what that whole "let him cook" has done recently.
Yeaa... No when they kill everyone ok kh3 and they just got revive because reasons I was not thinking oh god so much emotional dmg I was thinking "welp at least I play It on game pass and I didnt Buy It"
@@dantesqueman not true you can miss a lot of context if you dont play all the games or at least most, why Roxas matter? Would you mind to play this DS game? Who te fuck Is the blond girl that looks like kairy, do you mind to play this GBA card game that was also ported to ps2? Why Is there two Roxas, yes but actually no, Do you mind to play this PSP game? Its so fucking dumb and if you want to know the origin of all, Do you mind play this gacha game?
@@JONATAN-VELAZQUEZ "Who te fuck Is the blond girl that looks like kairy, do you mind to play this GBA card game that was also ported to ps2?" I quote Chains of memories. If you don't play BBS there isn't two roxas. KH1, 2 and CoM are three chapters of a story that suffices in itself.
@@dantesqueman "Why is KH3 so confusing? Who are these characters? Wdym I have to play ALL the games? Who cares that I had 20 years to catch up? It isn't a numbered title so it's a spinoff!"
I still remember when my roommate 100%ed Kingdom Hearts 2, after doing the same with 1 and chain of memories. I was trying to be open minded about it because it all looked kind of dumb to me, so I asked him what he thought, since he played everything. I was like, ” I mean maybe it all feels different if you’re the one actually playing it, so-“ “It’s stupid” he said.
It's stupid, but in a fun way. Still a pretty good series overall. The lore isn't nearly as hard to understand as people make it out to be, because most people don't try to understand it period. Don't treat the lore as if it is some G.R.R. Martin story, but don't outright ignore it. There's actually some pretty solid moral dilemmas and drama sprinkled throughout the series, and while things CAN get confusing, most things do explain themselves in time at least. Just a lot of elements to keep track of, if anything (such as factions, specific names, events, etc.)
@@timthetoolmantaylor9048 I guess you need to approach it a certain way to appreciate it. I'm trying to think of a game that might've hit me the same way. I mean, there's plenty of games where the story is just there to amuse or be laughed at, like Devil May Cry, but the KH fans I've met definitely cared about the story, so I can't use that as a point of connection. Then again, my friend wasn't exactly a KH fan himself, just a dogged completionist. Anyway, would you be able to elaborate?
@@sageoftruth Personally it's less about the story as a whole and more about the characters themselves. By the end of 358/2 days I didn't know much of what was going on (I was young and dumb and didn't pay much attention) but still cried like a baby at the ending because I grew so attached to the characters. Also the combat is my favorite out of any game so that helps a ton. It's not that the story is too confusing or too convoluted, which can be argued of course, it's just that at most points in the games, it doesn't really matter. Heartless ravaging everything and destroying worlds? Let's sing a musical. Or go visit a bear in a book. The lore is kind of all over the place and if it catches you, you won't really experience all it has to offer just in the games. I love the dumb parts, but this is a part of what makes KH what it is. At one point, Evil Riku actually points this out to Sora. Too busy making other friends instead of finding him and Kairi. The dialogue is also where I think most people get the idea that the game is stupid. It can be incredibly disney-esque, take a shot every time they say "heart" and you'll need your stomach pumped halfway through the game. I enjoy it, it's very cute and endearing, but in this day and age of everything being cringe I can understand why people treat the game like a joke.
I greatly enjoyed myself, but wasn't that invested in the story. Now, I WAS weirdly invested in the beginning of 2, because Roxas slowly feeling like he was losing his mind and being gaslit by existence itself was compelling to me, and then Sora's departure from TT _BROKE_ me. I haven't had a moment like that since, but I'll finish 2 and see how I feel.
A prime example of how important context is. It's crazy how in the moment, watching those scenes while playing the game, those things don't always stand out as weird ( well most of the time anyway)
I honestly kind of liked Roxas' ice cream line. It reminds you that, despite everything he's gone through, at the end of the day he's still just a kid.
KH is like the perfect blend of goofy Disney nonsense and emotional anime drama stuffs and it’s my favorite game series to this day. Also it’s a fun game to play outside of the cutscenes, imo and the music is good for the most part
Kingdom Hearts' story and characters are some of the most well-written, deepest elements of fiction I have ever seen. It's still easy to take it seriously, because it's just such a solid story. But when you take them out of context like this, they just get stupidly hilarious.
It cracks me up. There are extremely good emotional moments in this series and I love the awkward moments, but I think the blank space between each line is what really kills me in a good and bad way XD
I've never understood why there's such long-ass pauses in every bit of dialogue, and I love Kingdom Hearts. Three, in all fairness, did fix that issue a bit.
@@WhiteKnightPictures this was dubbed by early 2000s which most games from the time weren't. Other games from the early 2000s did not push technology (as weird as that sounds to say, kh was pushing technology, dont believe me, try playing kh2 and kh1 on a ps2) as kh did and thus did not suffer from the same problems.
For explanation, it's a mixture of bad translation and just the goofy character arc of Riku. He becomes adept at sensing darkness during CoM, but in translation, they made him LITERALLY smell it from how they word it.
I always laugh my ass off but I'll never understand why people dunk on the icecream scene so much. To me it doesn't feel cringe at all with the context. It's actually quite sad
The one game that Shirou Emiya hates "People die when they are killed" Exactly no one died when they were killed and if they die they somehow come back
It's trully one of those games where you HAD to have played it as a kid to enjoy it. A friend of mine loves it because he played the first two games when he was a kid, I never played as a kid and tried when I was 26 and I just couldn't get into it.
(i am 19) as a kid i always wanted to play them, but couldn't afford them. Back in November, i found a great deal with all of the games for ps4 and downloaded them. Currently i am waiting for my bff to come to our hometown and play with her KH3 (we played together all of the other games) and even tho i started at 18, i got OBSESSED! I find the lore SO interesting, the characters too, and i got merch and everything (and daydream a lot about the kh worlds) so, im not so sure if age is what causing some people to not like kh, more like the mentality.
It's true. I played KH1 and 2 over a decade ago. Returned to the series now in my mid-20s and I'm loving it. Yeah, it's the goofiest shit, but I don't care lol
How did I not realize how melodramatic KH is till watching this? Oh right, I was too hung up on every NPC repeating Sora, Donald, & Goofy every minute.
Always found the delivery bad, somehow that was a charm of it. The plot, their attempt of making things “serious” always failed to me. The one time Kingdom hearts actually hit hard for me is when Sora saved Aqua, that is the single scene that actually made me tear up. And I rarely ever cry to a video game. And by rarely I mean only two times. The first one was King Noctis’s death:- “walk tall my friends” “father, believe in me” “ It’s more than I can take” and finally “what can I say, you guys are the best”
I think kh3 had a hitting moment with Terra, during the end where he breaks free of heartless Xhenort. When he first speaks he sounds like he's struggling and hasn't talked in ages, and that's where Terra's voice actor who usually has bad delivers comes in pretty well because it actually sells me on the moment that this man is struggling to talk as funny as that sounds.
@@rorrim0 you know the Saitama “ok” face meme? That was exactly my reaction for Terra breaking free. It wasn’t close to Aqua freed from that realm she was trapped for who knows how long.
Also, will share my favorit KH moment as far as I've played. That means no spoilers for later games pls lol I was very invested in Roxas' narrative in Twilight Town and just felt terrible about how he was practicallybeing driven crazy as well as being gaslit and ignored by his "friends." It just almost had this psychological horror mystery to it. Helps that I waited to find put about Roxas' backstory. When Sora shed that single tear, I think something inside me broke. I didn't care about his friends, but _Roxas_ did. I started KH in adulthood, and I don't want to know how it would have hit me when I was younger and the only(former) friends I had treated me like Roxas' friends did, and sometimes worse lol
I've never played nor watched anything to do with kingdom hearts and so, know nothing about it but this made me laugh a lot, so I might just have to check the games out now
Personally I never found an issue introducing (or rather, inflicting) Taro's insanity on my friends The issues usually came from convincing them to stick through more than one playthrough
![Twenty One Pilots - “The Line” (from Arcane Season 2) [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/E2Rj2gQAyPA/mqdefault.jpg)

Its still my fave bit. 😂 kid holds no punches.
"Sora. Pot. Kettle."
The way he says "stupid" kills me 😂
Perfect reaction post
I will never not associate that line with the old Kingdom Hearts Stupid Files' "You're a complete bastard and we all hate you."

Kingdom Hearts 3 was the first game I played and the voice acting was so mediocre until Hades showed up.

Kingdom Hearts' story and characters are some of the most well-written, deepest elements of fiction I have ever seen. It's still easy to take it seriously, because it's just such a solid story.
But when you take them out of context like this, they just get stupidly hilarious.
That's NUTS
You're not only wrong, but possibly insane. Even in context none of these scenes can be taken seriously by a sane person.
Maybe KH1 and 2, but anything after (and arguiably in between) sucks kinda ass in terms of storytelling and character development
@@kristophesiem5336 i strongly disagree.
@@blackjackgabbiani19No, they're kinda right. There's a few scenes in this video that would have me bummed out in context.
This is the exact reason why I need people to play the games
As a KH fan since the game first came out in the US, I can verify that the scenes in this video make about as much sense in context.
I forgot how funny Sora's line delivery "You're stupid!" was. XD
1:11 The way it just cuts after he takes off his coat is sending me for some reason! 😂
0:16 Mickey Laugh irl
Seifer really used the hard R when he said it too
My favourite one is "Mickey! It's Riku! They put bugs in him!"
As someone who has ZERO context for ANY of these scenes, I just laughed my ass off and want to play this series EVEN MORE
I forgot we used to call things "lame" in school. Man that early 2000s terminology really dates it.
The dissonance between the melodramatic lines and reactions and the shallowness of this mess of a story is pure comedy
It also works with how melodramatic some characters are, in contrast with characters reacting to its clear absurdity
It cracks me up. There are extremely good emotional moments in this series and I love the awkward moments, but I think the blank space between each line is what really kills me in a good and bad way XD
I've never understood why there's such long-ass pauses in every bit of dialogue, and I love Kingdom Hearts. Three, in all fairness, did fix that issue a bit.
Dubing in the early 2000s and load times.
@Tombolt13 the Xehanort Then why do no other games suffer from this, from that era?
@@WhiteKnightPictures this was dubbed by early 2000s which most games from the time weren't. Other games from the early 2000s did not push technology (as weird as that sounds to say, kh was pushing technology, dont believe me, try playing kh2 and kh1 on a ps2) as kh did and thus did not suffer from the same problems.
No it didnt. I'd say 3 is the worst with the flow of dialouge
I like how from the beginning of the video he couldn't take anything seriously and he was just breaking down.
God the writing in this is amazing.
every so often i come back to the original video and it STILL makes me laugh
"Kairi's inside of me!?"
1:15 Riku... WHAT
why did he have to smell his hand at the same time as saying that?!
For explanation, it's a mixture of bad translation and just the goofy character arc of Riku. He becomes adept at sensing darkness during CoM, but in translation, they made him LITERALLY smell it from how they word it.
More like why I can't introduce myself to KH.
“Say fellas, did someone mention the door to darkness?” Micky mouse
"I knew when I met you. You and Kairi smell the same" - Joe Biden
Oh my God.🤣🤣
I always laugh my ass off but I'll never understand why people dunk on the icecream scene so much. To me it doesn't feel cringe at all with the context. It's actually quite sad
The one game that Shirou Emiya hates
"People die when they are killed"
Exactly no one died when they were killed and if they die they somehow come back
Same vibes as "Get into the airplane" [Guile SF III cartoon]
This is comedy gold , its impossible to not smile while watching this LULE
It's trully one of those games where you HAD to have played it as a kid to enjoy it. A friend of mine loves it because he played the first two games when he was a kid, I never played as a kid and tried when I was 26 and I just couldn't get into it.
(i am 19) as a kid i always wanted to play them, but couldn't afford them. Back in November, i found a great deal with all of the games for ps4 and downloaded them. Currently i am waiting for my bff to come to our hometown and play with her KH3 (we played together all of the other games) and even tho i started at 18, i got OBSESSED! I find the lore SO interesting, the characters too, and i got merch and everything (and daydream a lot about the kh worlds) so, im not so sure if age is what causing some people to not like kh, more like the mentality.
@@dbak9268some people just wont like the absurdity. Its either you love the stupidity or you hate it
It's true. I played KH1 and 2 over a decade ago. Returned to the series now in my mid-20s and I'm loving it. Yeah, it's the goofiest shit, but I don't care lol
Reminder that Mickey is saying "they'll pay for this" in response to Goofy's tragic and untimely death moments earlier.
I’m kinda in the middle. I know it’s silly, but everyone else is being serious so I’m kinda drawn in
How did I not realize how melodramatic KH is till watching this? Oh right, I was too hung up on every NPC repeating Sora, Donald, & Goofy every minute.
Something that all KH fans can agree that is how memeable this series is
Always found the delivery bad, somehow that was a charm of it. The plot, their attempt of making things “serious” always failed to me.
The one time Kingdom hearts actually hit hard for me is when Sora saved Aqua, that is the single scene that actually made me tear up. And I rarely ever cry to a video game. And by rarely I mean only two times.
The first one was King Noctis’s death:-
“walk tall my friends”
“father, believe in me”
“ It’s more than I can take” and finally
“what can I say, you guys are the best”
I think kh3 had a hitting moment with Terra, during the end where he breaks free of heartless Xhenort. When he first speaks he sounds like he's struggling and hasn't talked in ages, and that's where Terra's voice actor who usually has bad delivers comes in pretty well because it actually sells me on the moment that this man is struggling to talk as funny as that sounds.
@@rorrim0 you know the Saitama “ok” face meme? That was exactly my reaction for Terra breaking free. It wasn’t close to Aqua freed from that realm she was trapped for who knows how long.
Same, I could never ask for a redub. You just can't replace Haley as Sora.
Also, will share my favorit KH moment as far as I've played. That means no spoilers for later games pls lol
I was very invested in Roxas' narrative in Twilight Town and just felt terrible about how he was practicallybeing driven crazy as well as being gaslit and ignored by his "friends." It just almost had this psychological horror mystery to it. Helps that I waited to find put about Roxas' backstory. When Sora shed that single tear, I think something inside me broke. I didn't care about his friends, but _Roxas_ did. I started KH in adulthood, and I don't want to know how it would have hit me when I was younger and the only(former) friends I had treated me like Roxas' friends did, and sometimes worse lol
Also, King Noctis is very special to me as while I'm not the biggest fan of FFXV, I really loved Kingsglaive.
This is why I love Kingdom Hearts
Mickey Mouse being that epic is something else XD
I came here to watch a kingdom hearts video but the nameless heroes "Hey you!" got me having gothic flashbacks
If anything this would make people want to play it more
This is the game that permanently emotionally damaged me with a smile followed by a single teardrop and yet 90% of it is this-
2 minutes of straight relatability
What's funny is that pretty much everything makes sense in context but the context is very hard to comprehend
When you put the streamer “HAHA” 20x
Mickey: They'll pay for this
lmao
“Guys it’s a good game I SWEAR”
"I'm me" he says
I've never played nor watched anything to do with kingdom hearts and so, know nothing about it but this made me laugh a lot, so I might just have to check the games out now
The ending of KH1 still kinda gets me, even in my late 20s.
Although I am a bit of a manchild though lol
0:44 i loved this. Lmao
Me when someone mentions the Door to Darkness
You know what kingdom hearts is? Earnest. I can't say that about a lot of games, to be honest.
What have done Noumura ... somebody kill me 💀
For me my fav square enix game is drakengard/nier and I definitely can't get my friends into it due to Yoko taro insanity 🤣
Personally I never found an issue introducing (or rather, inflicting) Taro's insanity on my friends
The issues usually came from convincing them to stick through more than one playthrough
Why would anyone think that this video would be better with a laughing head in the corner?
The man lost it 🤣
When original script in japanese but you translate it to english moment :
I love how Roxas is sick of everyone’s overdramatic bullshit
its hilarious because it all makes sense to me
I didn’t know KH is a comedy
I fucking love kingdom hearts 😩 its so cringe but so good
Show them Zettaflare and they’ll realize it’s worth it.
Yup; The no context and the splicing of cutscenes will do this...
The scene with Mickey showing up ominously with the door of Darkness is just funny by default
The new jehova witnesses sure looks edgy
Ven?? that wasnt Roxas LOLOL This game dude LOL
