@@raulphilipgoco403 Gabe Naps The reason children were chosen was due to the Light in their Hearts being stronger then adults, while it's true adults can have strong Hearts filled with Light the children weren't really given much time to grow up since the Keyblade War started two years after the unions formed.

Not keyblade tho and nobody can just unlock Hearts as you can see in Kingdom Hearts 3 it's an acquired skill said by cerithy in kh3 finnal battle trailer
Wait wait wait what? Where’s he get it then? How did it become a keyblade? :o I thought the universe gave him a keyblade to get out of the realm of darkness at the start of Re:COM Reverse?
Ok KH fans, lets show we’re not insane not-pickers and correct every little part of the video. They got quite a lot right. And the stuff that’s just slightly not is super understandable to get mixed up. Frankly I’m impressed with the amount they got said in such a short time. Good job!
I’ve watched like two videos of explaining the story about KH and it was roughly about 30-40 minutes but this one was actually really easy and simple to remember. And only in 15 minutes which is convenient.

This is actually really really good. I always cringe when I see big channels try to recap the lore and inevitably totally miss big things, but you can tell a lot of effort and research went into this video to get it right.
There was actually an official explanation on why vanitas is the way he is, apparently ripping out hearts in kingdom hearts has become so coming that people think there are no repercussions But if you looked up the novels you would know Vanitas wasn't always like that, when he first separated he wanted to go back to Ven and his very existent was one of pure suffering as being made of only darkness and negative emotions can quite literally fuck with you. You then have unversed which are created from his suffering and negative emotions, that he has to destroy with the drawback that when one is destroyed he feels their pain and suffering generating even more negative emotions. Xehanort learning this used this to strengthen Vanitas by making him fight and destroy the unversed despite the fact it made him suffer all while this was happening Ven was living happily with his friends which understandably made him jealous and angry. Four years later and Vanitas is turned into a brainwashed psycho as Xehanort plan comes together. Now the games don't really show his tragic tale, but during his final scene in BBS we see Vanitas is desperate to get the X-blade. He never wanted to exist, but after being his own person he was afraid to vanish as well. Sad but it’s a thing, fucking kingdom hearts can’t give me one fucking villain I can hate whole heartedly.

Probably one of the most comprehensive kh lore guides on the web tbh. Obv in 14 minutes not EVERYTHING about the games are included, but with that being said, not everything is necessary for a beginner to have a good grasp of the kh lore. Great job guys !
Kingdom hearts isn’t as confusing as people say it is. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’m not necessarily saying it’s SIMPLE. And Clean. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to understand. You just need to play all of the games (which is a common misconception) pay attention, and remember a multitude of the different events throughout the series. For example, when Sora stabbed himself back in KH1, that lead to a number of things happening. And if you don’t remember this event, you likely won’t understand what really happens in the future games. The same can be said for the Black Box, Marluxia’s plan to take over the Organization in Chain of Memories, and the chamber of waking and chamber of Repose.
Dude I've played every game I just think they could have gotten a professional the RUclipsr HMK she did do a pretty good job just you you want to understand Kingdom Hearts better go watch HMK
I do, HMK is one of my favorite youtubers. But there’s nothing wrong with people who don’t understand the games talking about it. At least she actually explained it WELL.
Yeah people really don't understand that if you play the games it lays out the plot right in front of your face, as long as you remember the important plot points in each game it's pretty easy to know what's going on, it's a SERIES, it's supposed to have a lot of plot points that span over several years
No, dude, it is complicated because Nomura keeps adding stuff to it. I've played all the games and there are a few continuity errors. I understand the plot but its way too complicated for people to just "play all the games" and it'll make sense. I'm 26 I've played every single game, I have all the final mixes and I preordered kh3. Even then I had to take weeks and even months to wrap my head around this plot. I digress.... My main issue with KH was 0.2. I recall blank points cutscene where Aqua meets Ansem the Wise in the realm of darkness, and that is supposed to be about how she learned about Sora, this kid she met years ago out saving the world., she's surprised. However, when you play 0.2 Mickey tells her about Sora sooooo it kind of ruins Blank Points in my opinion. Why act surprised if Mickey already told you? "Let your heart be your guiding key." Yen sid never said that at all throughout the games. lol and to top it all off.....we have time traveling in this joint.
Then Riku and Mickey and Sora all got out of the realm of darkness but Aqua can't for some reason. Then Yen Sid forbid Mickey to tell Riku or Sora about it so they couldn't rescue her. Even though they are going to need all the help they can get for the new keyblade war.
7:16 : It was never specified just who exactly summoned Kingdom Hearts. Gula said he was going to in order to bring back the Master, but it was never implied or specified that he did just that. And since the MoM is not walking around anywhere - that we currently know of - it is safe to say for now that it wasn't Gula who summoned Kingdom Hearts.
One small detail I wish they added would be just what Light and Dark really is. It always seemed like Light was Memory and dark was Emotion. Darkness gave us a desire to draw others to us while Light gave us Identity and individuality. Darkness on it's own became an indiscriminate glutton of everything around it, white Light on it's own was aimless and often absent of empathy. I could see Sora make peace with Darkness after realizing what it was, and how it wasn't actually an evil thing.
Soul Eater did not evolved into Way to the Dawn. They are to different weapons that look alike. A sword cannot evolve into a Keyblade. Riku summons Soul Eater on numerous occasions in Dream Drop Distance.
AnimeShitlord THANK YOU! I don’t know why this bothered me but I’m glad that someone else in the comments realizes that we’ve seen like 5 different versions of Kingdom Hearts.
This is fucking awesome! I love how dedicated you are to keeping the lore correct with even the pronunciations of all things, It's amazing! Definitely not a beginners guide but for fans this video is pretty damn good at recapping and confirming the more complicated parts of the lore. Great job with this!
This Has To Be The Best Explained Lore Video On Kingdom Hearts On RUclips Up To Date! Now I Can Help Everyone Asking Me About This Game. Thank You Leaderboard.
12:23 I must point out that the artificial emblem heartless were created from real people. Meaning Xehanort and Ansem the Wise experimented and likely killed them in the process. Also I must point out that Xehanort (or Ansem SoD) in one of the KH3 trailers reveals that Ansem the Wise sacrificed children in the name of his research. This means the humans that were turned into emblem heartless are likely KIDS. O-0 RATED E FOR EVERYONE. Also it’s my theory that those kids were actually the survivors of the Keyblade war. This includes Ventus of course.
Ansem's line on having sacrificed children in the name of his research is part of the reason I'm slightly leaning towards a theory of him being the Master of Master, but it isn't really that fleshed out much (though they do have some similarities). The children would have been those who died during the Keyblade War. The other children that I was thinking of is like you said in your comment: humans that were turned into emblem heartless. Though, you are definitely reminding me that I wanted to read the Ansem Reports in their entirety before KH3's release.
I don’t know about that. However, I wouldn’t put the possibility aside that he could be one of the Foretellers. Such as Ira or even Gula. If not that, then at least someone from the era of the Keyblade war. Because remember, in KH2 Ansem forbade Xehanort from continuing their reasearch. And he specifically says: “I forbid it! Forgot about this talk about that doors it the heart of all worlds. *That place Must not be defiled*.” Ansem says it like he knows what might happen if Kingdom Hearts is opened. And if he knows that, I wouldn’t put the possibility aside that he saw what it actually was back in the Keyblade war days. Maybe he’s actually Ephemer then? Ephemer did technically feel uneasy after what Ava told him. Of course this is just a theory so keep that in mind.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE I think Master Xehanort himself might be someone from before the Keyblade War, remember this line from BBS: "I swore I would survive, and be there to see what awaited beyond the Keyblade War!", he would have been born after the Keyblade War, so I think the Master of Masters might have some influence on Xehanort's plans.
@daniel I thought that too. I even have a whole theory going on in my head that Xehanort is actually Luxu. Because remember, the MoM tasked Luxu by passing down his Keyblade to his apprentices and then him to his. But what if he didn’t necessarily do that? What if trained his apprentices as he was tasked, but decided to posses them and take their bodies as his own? Just like how Xehanort possesed Terra and Riku. And if my theory is right, I believe that the first apprentice is Ephemer. It’s this means that Xehanort is actually Ephemer being posssed by Luxu. Although at the same time, we do have to remember that Xehanort was trying to enact a Keyblade war during BBS. He could have said that line because he said he wanted to survive the Keyblade war that “was to come”. Not the one that already happened. So this whole thing about him being alive hundreds of years ago could be wrong.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE you just got me thinking, but the Japanese story update for KHuX had Xehanort right? Wouldn't that mean he existed somewhere at that point in time because he was able to go back and warn Maleficent? He must have been someone. :/ Although, I really hope not Ephamer, I love that character too much. xD Anyways, we probably don't /really/ know how old Xehanort is, since we don't know how often he has been to the realm of darkness. So it isn't hard to believe that he could have been from the age of fairytales, especially if he is popping up back in time like that. That would also explain his connection to Ven and why he chose Marluxia and Larxene for vessels.
The "Master of Masters" is a reference to Hermes Tresmegistus. Writer of the Kyballion. If you look at how the war began, 7 warriors of Light, 13 of Dark. That leaves 35% good to 65% bad and yet, good tends to win. I'd go into it more, but most people mock the occulted knowledge I've gleamed, so I'm not overly interested right now.
I love it how after KH3 you realize that Xehanort isn’t just some evil dude hell bent on destroying the world, he’s just someone who’s misguided in their attempt to protect all worlds from the darkness
I am IMPRESSED! You guys did such a great job at explaining all of this. As someone whose followed the series from the beginning, I think can’t think of anything you guys missed. Keep up the great work! 👍
Norted DetectiveBobbyFulbright TheSpiritofJUSTICE I have to disagree, I used to read the whole Wiki for days just to correct a few things, and as I just said, it took me days, weeks even. I barely watched the vid, to be honest, so I am in no position to say if it is made well, hopefully it is.
Kh lore is actually pretty easy to understand since it's straight forward if you played the game... You could honestly mostly watch only cutscenes and you would be fine kh 3d and re:coded where the Titels that made it weird to follow with the data world and time travel
I can tell you did a lot of work putting this together. It’s no easy task, but I’m so impressed. I’m just thankful you got all the name pronunciations correct. Thank you!!
This video is god sent! Almost everything I’ve seen so far some how further confused me, and or has rambled on for 30 mins + all the while mumbling and commenting on the game rather than explain it.
Are we not gonna mention: - Ventus lost his heart breaking the X-blade, refuged with Sora giving him the ability to wield the keyblade (in the first place since it was suppose to go to Riku), and Ventus became Roxas when becoming Sora’s nobody and then rejoined Sora. And Ventus can’t awaken until Sora realizes he has another persons heart with him still. - Terra became Xehanort’s vessel(s) which is why all Xehanort copies look younger than the original except Young Xehanort cuz time travel. - and Aqua THE BEST CHARACTER has been stuck in the realm of darkness for 15 years after sacrificing herself for Terra to live in the realm of light who just became Xehanort at the time.
Ventus never became roxas? Roxas only looks like ventus because ventus’ heart is inside of sora. So he’s Sora’s nobody but took on the appearance of ventus. This definitely should’ve been mentioned though since it’s a major part of the story
I'm still relatively new to the Kingdom Hearts series and you have summed up some of the more confusing plot/lore elements in 14 minutes in a manner that I can actually understand. Thank you very much, I think I might finally be as prepared as I can be for Kingdom Hearts 3 now.
@@artofthepossible7329 I'm halfway through Birth by Sleep...at least I think i'm halfway through it there's like three scenario's and I've lost track of where i am with them, and I believe I've nearly finished KH:2 I'm in the Land that Never Was. I was trying to play them in chronological order but I've basically been jumping from game to game so I've played bits and pieces here and there, tbh I'm really struggling with the gameplay as Kingdom Hearts is the only JRPG I've ever played and it's mechanics are not easy to wrap my head around. So while I am trying to catch up i'm mostly relying on RUclips to get up to date, i'm enjoying every minute of it though.
@natbat Keep in mind that there are 2 more scenarios in bbs to play through. That being the Final Episode and the Secret Episode. You just need to obtain all of the Xehanort reports to unlock it. And just to point out, one of those is within Terra’s mirage Arena. After you complete the final episode, you should be able to unlock the secret. However, it’s very difficult to unlock the secret Episode if your playing on standard or below. So if your on one of those difficulties, I highly recommend just watching the cutscenes online. Trust me, the stuff in the Secret Episode is worth it.
You were locking the hearts of the world so the Heartless couldn't steal their hearts, you unlocked the paths between worlds that had been sealed off to prevent worlds from meddling in each others affairs, likely this was to prevent a Ansem seeker of darkness situation, unfortunately they likely didn't predict someone would figure out how to control the corridors of darkness when they implemented the plan, and since only masters were allowed to open the paths between originally they probably thought they had a pretty good hold on the tides of events at the time.
As short as this video is, and although a few aspects are incorrect, for the most part this video's actually done a pretty good job of simply explaining many of the particularly complex pieces of the Kingdom Hearts lore.
@@XavierZara Uhh, its pretty minor stuff, but here's a few of the more obvious ones to me. Soul eater (riku's blade in kh1) was not actually a keyblade, although it later turned into a keyblade called "Way to the Dawn". Its basically like what the organization members use for weapons, their still magical, but their not a keyblade. No one knows who actually summoned kingdom hearts, it may have been Gula but it hasn't been confirmed. He was just the first person to say he was going to try and summon it, which led to all the other fortellers also trying to gather power(in the form of light gathered from killing heartless) to summon Kingdom hearts themselves, for their own goals. This leads to the war, as now other keyblade wielders from other factions have the light, and by beating them you stop them from collecting more and you can steal it for your own faction. Thus the light collected from the heartless is slowly concentrated as you slay more people and fewer wielders remain, until Kingdom hearts can finally be summoned. The princesses of hearts shown in the video are likely not princesses of heart anymore, as a recent trailer showed us that the bad guys were searching for the "New" princesses of heart. There are actually 3 kingdom hearts, (however we never get to physically see the 3rd one, but we do see its shadow at the end of Kingdom hearts through the door to darkness) There's the one made from the heart of worlds from Kingdom hearts 1, the one made from the heart of men from Kingdom hearts 2, and the true kingdom hearts, which is made up of all hearts, not just the worlds, or men's which appears in Birth by Sleep and Back Cover. oh and we know more of the True seekers of darkness then this video showed, but I guess that could be in spoiler territory depending on weather you want to go into Kh3 having seen the trailers or not.
Not to mention the game engine switch basically made them restart all their progress and they also had to get used to the new engine. So the game that is currently about to be released was probably first worked on in 2014 or 2015
Soul eater is not a Keyblade, it's a sword that Riku used because he didn't see himself as fit to use the Keyblade. Way to the Dawn looks like soup eater but in reality it's more of a mirror image of Riku's heart to show that he accepted both light and darkness.
Holy shit that made more sense than most of the videos out there trying to explain the story good job might have to rewatch just before kh 3 comes out for another refresher
In 0.2 fragmentary passage it shows Luxu watching the aftermath of a keyblade war. Which time and which war was this?? I was kinda confused cuz there's been like a hundred keyblade wars
There are only 2 wars, and only really one that matters. It took me a long time to really understand the course of events 1. The end of KH3 is not a keyblade war, but a clash between light and darkness. 2. There was a (presumably unseen) keyblade war that took place during the MoM's childhood, supposedly where he lost all of his original allies (we know nothing about this war at all) 3. There is no keyblade war during KHUX despite being a recreation of the events of kingdom hearts X (chi) Basically, the events of X happen which end in the keyblade war. This is officially when the foretellers split up and when Luxu absconds into the future with the Gazing Eye and the black box. The other foretellers all 'die' in the keyblade war (It is more likely that the war somehow sends them into the future to the end of kh3) Then immediately after X happens, UX happens, which is a data-recreation of the entire events of X, so the foretellers are suddenly back in the past and leading unions again. This persists up until the period where the keyblade war would've occurred, except that it doesn't, and the data foretellers still disappear along with MoM and Luxu. The events after the keyblade war in the data recreation of X's daybreak town are the events of KHUX, with Ephemer leading the new unions and eventually sending themselves into the future using the life-boats. Luxu is prophecized to have given his keyblade to his first apprentice 'during the chaos' which is presumably the keyblade war that occurred in reality before the data recreation.
Im pretty sure Ansem the Wise was the one who summoned the heartless and created emblem heartless (or with xehanort) which was confirmed in kh1 through the reports and then reconfirmed in kh2 when xemnas and ansem the wise meet again and refrence it.
I only have two complains. Soul Eater was a medium for Riku to summon Way to Dawn, but originally it was only a dark sword. And how in the fricking hyuk do you guys write Organization 13 like that , it has to have the roman numbers to make it look cool :( Aside of that, GOOD VIDEO, I'm impressed.
You did a better job than I expected! Also, not to be too nitpicky but in your description you wrote Organization XII (12) instead of Organization XIII(13).
I'm so proud of you Leaderboard! You guys got a lot right and explained everything in a concise and easy to understand way without sounding patronizing or like you don't care about the plot. You did a really great job.!(Save for a few wrong details.) 👏👏👏👏👏
As the release get closer, I have this nightmare where I just go pick up my copy and the guy at the counter say “sorry dude the games been delayed”. And I’m just in my room playing all the remastered and crying!
@King Swirl 👑 it doesn't free the hearts trapped in darkness it just send them back to darkness it also lacks the unlocking ability, it does turn into a keyblade during kh2 once riku fully balances light and dark abilities. You can think of it as half a keyblade.
@@zaster101 also its more like the oganization member wapeon yhey are magical device ho are powered by magic like a keyblade, but lacks the bonkers power of a real keyblade, basicaly they are keyblade proxyes
Lol, the announcer girl’s like “And we’re going to do our DAAANGED best-“ and I’m thinking to myself “yep, and if you don’t then you’re going to piss off half the world in Kingdom Hearts fans.”
@@cameron_1509 Go watch the KH3 trailers, theres only one Organization, and Marluxia, Xigbar, Demyx, Luxord, Larxene, And Vexen are all part of it. There is no "Marluxia's group" or "Xigbar's group" anymore.
I would love at some point if we can have one where we create a character and become a keyblade to fight alongside the keyweilders in a cool co-op mode I love the OGs but we know thier backgrounds and story it's time we write our own legend
The heart that created kingdom hearts wascin the box Luxu had, the heart itself is the MoM's. He sacrificed his body and left his heart and eye behind to see what happens after the keyblade war he was told about.
While Kingdom Hearts is by no means simple, it is easier than you think to follow....” Provided you’ve either been here since day one or have watched enough anime that this madness seems normal to you.
Partially. This video skimmed some details, but this is the literal last straw for the "kingdom hearts has confusing lore" meme. The "Unversed" are indeed emblem heartless prototypes, as they themselves have emblems. Think of Vanitas as a mob spawner in Minecraft, and Xehanort just figured out how to create custom mobs. This is part of the plan to gain access to Kingdom Hearts. Xehanort needs to artificially meet a prophecy for his plan to work!
If I was there in that universe though, I wish I was somewhere in a place that's Cars-ish, Bolt-ish, or Finding-Nemo-ish. Or maybe I'd hang out somewhere in the World that Never Was. (Also known as "The Unexistent World" or "The world that did not exist", as translated from its Japanese name via Google/Bing)
Well keyblades are forged as imitations, and since thats one of the first keyblades created, it's probably fair to presume that people copied the gazing eye from it into later keyblade designs.
Can someone explain why back in the day during the keyblade war, everyone had a keyblade. But in the future there is only a few keyblades and you are considered special for having one. Is the kingdom key and kingdom key D more special than the others? They weren’t forged like the rest? They were already made from the beginning?
Hopefully Union X will end soon so we can add that piece of lore to the mix! Like, being awfully honest, I actually love how complex KH can be when it comes to understand its narrative, it makes me feel more engaged with its characters and the world they live in, even if it comes out as silly to other people.
@@ronniesanders8546 While I don't recognize it from anything, It does have a resemblance to the beginning of the Hollow bastion field theme from kh1, in particular the string section of the theme, maybe thats what its reminding you of?
@@t_g_gamerftw5075 I've heard before in several videos including Star Wars music. It's a very mysterious music. I know what is but I've forgot the name of the music. But I've definitely heard it before.
Master Xahanort wanted the X(chi)- blade because he wanted to restart the world in a new light. He seemed evil... but all his work was were for good intentions... And there are new hearts of light.
Wait. I didn't know Gula summoned Kingdom Hearts. All I know is that he was responsible for the Keyblade War as he wanted to gather Lux to defeat Darkness. Which led all the factions except Dandelion to fight over the light. Am I right?
Basically yea your right, no one knows who really summoned KH. Gula was just the first to say he was going to try to. This led the other fortellers to also try and gather Lux to summon KH. So they instructed their factions to do the same. Thus people now greeding for the Lux, attack each other, as each other wielder you strike down, is a wielder from another faction who can't gather the Lux from heartless, and you can take their Lux, thus weakening the other faction and strengthening yours. The war breaks out, and Lux is concentrated until only a few wielders remain who now wield tons of Lux, until finally someone has enough Lux to summon Kingdom Hearts itself.
How else did xehanort obtain no name Master's defender was passed on to aqua and luxu was bitter toward the master of masters so it would be likely that luxu felt overlooked and resented light and sought to train a keyblade wielder in the ways of darkness xehanort seems perfect for this exact role
It's just a LSD version of "Saint Peter's Keys" Or Cybele and Janus Kingdom Hearts is Heaven 2 keys to open the Door of the Unseen Work aka Heaven aka Kingdom Hearts 3 Chosen Ones, Holy Trinity Ra, El, Isis Sora, Riku, Kiri Roxas, Axel, Xion Ventus, Terra, Aqua Heart is the Soul Heartless (but only a body) is NoSoul = Demon NoBody and NoHeart = homunculus
...so many things you got wrong here... First off, Riku's SWORD "soul eater" IS NOT a key blade! Onward to the dawn IS a key blade. Second, Gula DID NOT summon kingdom hearts durning the lost Masters key blade war. I could go on but I'm not. Besides the mistakes, it was a good video
6 лет назад
Quite a good summary guys, well done! A Simple and Clean (haha!) explanation. Although there are few error here and there. But it's ok.
He’s obviously very much alive lol. My theory is that the Master of Masters is actually just a heart in a sack. Very similar to how Ansem was when he had the brown robe back in KH1. Now, he did this because his body is actually being held captive. Specifically, I believe he is trapped inside Kingdom Hearts itself. This is why he caused the Keyblade war and gave Luxu the no name Keyblade. He intended to have a catastrophic event fall into the pages of history and which later a young man named Xehanort would become obsessed with. Xehanort beleives opening kingdom hearts will grant him the power to make the world a better place. But what if that’s not what Kingdom Hearts is? Instead, it is just a prison where the MoM is being kept. And MoM wants Xehanort to release him.
I think the 6 hooded figure in the real organization XII were(Spoilers) some of the names I forgot Guitar guy, Card Guy, Larxene, Vexen, Marluxia, and Xion

You failed to realize the keyblade war was literally a massacre of children who killed each other.
daniel226 the real question is Why use children? Like use people Terra aged Keyblade users that would much more practical
Raul Philip Goco I thought it was because children have more pure light or whatever so they can’t succumb to darkness as easily
@@raulphilipgoco403 Gabe Naps The reason children were chosen was due to the Light in their Hearts being stronger then adults, while it's true adults can have strong Hearts filled with Light the children weren't really given much time to grow up since the Keyblade War started two years after the unions formed.
While no hard numbers are given it's safe to estimate the number being in the hundreds to thousands with up to over 10 MILLION if they use the Download numbers.
@@AngelOfChaos32 that makes a whole lot of sense now. Thanks for clearing that up

Yes. Way to the Dawn is basically Soul Eater but transformed into a Keyblade. Before that when it was Soul Eater it wasn’t a Keyblade.

Xehanort learning this used this to strengthen Vanitas by making him fight and destroy the unversed despite the fact it made him suffer all while this was happening Ven was living happily with his friends which understandably made him jealous and angry.
Four years later and Vanitas is turned into a brainwashed psycho as Xehanort plan comes together. Now the games don't really show his tragic tale, but during his final scene in BBS we see Vanitas is desperate to get the X-blade. He never wanted to exist, but after being his own person he was afraid to vanish as well. Sad but it’s a thing, fucking kingdom hearts can’t give me one fucking villain I can hate whole heartedly.
I can certainly hate Master Xehanort with a fiery passion.
People knew it wasn't Vanitas did the whole thing. He just brainwashed. Is it similar to Riku event? But with Ansem Sod?

Probably one of the most comprehensive kh lore guides on the web tbh. Obv in 14 minutes not EVERYTHING about the games are included, but with that being said, not everything is necessary for a beginner to have a good grasp of the kh lore. Great job guys !
Kingdom hearts isn’t as confusing as people say it is. I mean, don’t get me wrong. I’m not necessarily saying it’s SIMPLE. And Clean. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible to understand. You just need to play all of the games (which is a common misconception) pay attention, and remember a multitude of the different events throughout the series. For example, when Sora stabbed himself back in KH1, that lead to a number of things happening. And if you don’t remember this event, you likely won’t understand what really happens in the future games. The same can be said for the Black Box, Marluxia’s plan to take over the Organization in Chain of Memories, and the chamber of waking and chamber of Repose.
Dude I've played every game I just think they could have gotten a professional the RUclipsr HMK she did do a pretty good job just you you want to understand Kingdom Hearts better go watch HMK
I do, HMK is one of my favorite youtubers. But there’s nothing wrong with people who don’t understand the games talking about it. At least she actually explained it WELL.
Yeah people really don't understand that if you play the games it lays out the plot right in front of your face, as long as you remember the important plot points in each game it's pretty easy to know what's going on, it's a SERIES, it's supposed to have a lot of plot points that span over several years
No, dude, it is complicated because Nomura keeps adding stuff to it. I've played all the games and there are a few continuity errors.
I understand the plot but its way too complicated for people to just "play all the games" and it'll make sense. I'm 26 I've played every single game, I have all the final mixes and I preordered kh3. Even then I had to take weeks and even months to wrap my head around this plot.
I digress....
My main issue with KH was 0.2. I recall blank points cutscene where Aqua meets Ansem the Wise in the realm of darkness, and that is supposed to be about how she learned about Sora, this kid she met years ago out saving the world., she's surprised.
However, when you play 0.2 Mickey tells her about Sora sooooo it kind of ruins Blank Points in my opinion. Why act surprised if Mickey already told you?
"Let your heart be your guiding key." Yen sid never said that at all throughout the games. lol and to top it all off.....we have time traveling in this joint.
Then Riku and Mickey and Sora all got out of the realm of darkness but Aqua can't for some reason. Then Yen Sid forbid Mickey to tell Riku or Sora about it so they couldn't rescue her. Even though they are going to need all the help they can get for the new keyblade war.
7:16 : It was never specified just who exactly summoned Kingdom Hearts. Gula said he was going to in order to bring back the Master, but it was never implied or specified that he did just that. And since the MoM is not walking around anywhere - that we currently know of - it is safe to say for now that it wasn't Gula who summoned Kingdom Hearts.
This video was so good. I'm impressed that they were able to explain lore from all the games, in under 10 minutes! It was easy to share with friends.
I'm impressed that you managed to explain all of that in a span of only 14 minutos and in an entertaining way!
This was honestly really well done and you can tell the entire team put a lot of passion into it. 10/10
Thanks soooo much
One small detail I wish they added would be just what Light and Dark really is. It always seemed like Light was Memory and dark was Emotion. Darkness gave us a desire to draw others to us while Light gave us Identity and individuality. Darkness on it's own became an indiscriminate glutton of everything around it, white Light on it's own was aimless and often absent of empathy.
I could see Sora make peace with Darkness after realizing what it was, and how it wasn't actually an evil thing.
Soul Eater is not a Keyblade, it is a sword that through Riku’s own journey, was able to transform into a Keyblade thus named Way to the Dawn.
Soul Eater did not evolved into Way to the Dawn.
They are to different weapons that look alike.
A sword cannot evolve into a Keyblade.
Riku summons Soul Eater on numerous occasions in Dream Drop Distance.
This was actually really well done and easy to understand and made some things a bit more clear good job
It was tough for us to explain to ourselves! Glad it helped you!
I'm actually impressed that they fit this much inside such a short amount of time! 17 MORE DAYS GUYS!!!!
The Kingdom Hearts that appeared in BBS was the real one, and the one that technically appears in KH1 is formed from the hearts.of worlds.
AnimeShitlord THANK YOU! I don’t know why this bothered me but I’m glad that someone else in the comments realizes that we’ve seen like 5 different versions of Kingdom Hearts.
recently trying to learn about KH lore. I got the same knowledge watching a 4 hour video series as I watched this. I'll take your word for it.
This is fucking awesome! I love how dedicated you are to keeping the lore correct with even the pronunciations of all things, It's amazing! Definitely not a beginners guide but for fans this video is pretty damn good at recapping and confirming the more complicated parts of the lore. Great job with this!
This Has To Be The Best Explained Lore Video On Kingdom Hearts On RUclips Up To Date! Now I Can Help Everyone Asking Me About This Game. Thank You Leaderboard.
Very welcome!
12:23 I must point out that the artificial emblem heartless were created from real people. Meaning Xehanort and Ansem the Wise experimented and likely killed them in the process. Also I must point out that Xehanort (or Ansem SoD) in one of the KH3 trailers reveals that Ansem the Wise sacrificed children in the name of his research. This means the humans that were turned into emblem heartless are likely KIDS.
O-0
RATED E FOR EVERYONE.
Also it’s my theory that those kids were actually the survivors of the Keyblade war. This includes Ventus of course.
Ansem's line on having sacrificed children in the name of his research is part of the reason I'm slightly leaning towards a theory of him being the Master of Master, but it isn't really that fleshed out much (though they do have some similarities). The children would have been those who died during the Keyblade War.
The other children that I was thinking of is like you said in your comment: humans that were turned into emblem heartless. Though, you are definitely reminding me that I wanted to read the Ansem Reports in their entirety before KH3's release.
I don’t know about that. However, I wouldn’t put the possibility aside that he could be one of the Foretellers. Such as Ira or even Gula. If not that, then at least someone from the era of the Keyblade war. Because remember, in KH2 Ansem forbade Xehanort from continuing their reasearch. And he specifically says: “I forbid it! Forgot about this talk about that doors it the heart of all worlds. *That place Must not be defiled*.” Ansem says it like he knows what might happen if Kingdom Hearts is opened. And if he knows that, I wouldn’t put the possibility aside that he saw what it actually was back in the Keyblade war days. Maybe he’s actually Ephemer then? Ephemer did technically feel uneasy after what Ava told him.
Of course this is just a theory so keep that in mind.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE I think Master Xehanort himself might be someone from before the Keyblade War, remember this line from BBS: "I swore I would survive, and be there to see what awaited beyond the Keyblade War!", he would have been born after the Keyblade War, so I think the Master of Masters might have some influence on Xehanort's plans.
@daniel I thought that too. I even have a whole theory going on in my head that Xehanort is actually Luxu. Because remember, the MoM tasked Luxu by passing down his Keyblade to his apprentices and then him to his. But what if he didn’t necessarily do that? What if trained his apprentices as he was tasked, but decided to posses them and take their bodies as his own? Just like how Xehanort possesed Terra and Riku. And if my theory is right, I believe that the first apprentice is Ephemer. It’s this means that Xehanort is actually Ephemer being posssed by Luxu.
Although at the same time, we do have to remember that Xehanort was trying to enact a Keyblade war during BBS. He could have said that line because he said he wanted to survive the Keyblade war that “was to come”. Not the one that already happened. So this whole thing about him being alive hundreds of years ago could be wrong.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE you just got me thinking, but the Japanese story update for KHuX had Xehanort right? Wouldn't that mean he existed somewhere at that point in time because he was able to go back and warn Maleficent? He must have been someone. :/ Although, I really hope not Ephamer, I love that character too much. xD Anyways, we probably don't /really/ know how old Xehanort is, since we don't know how often he has been to the realm of darkness. So it isn't hard to believe that he could have been from the age of fairytales, especially if he is popping up back in time like that. That would also explain his connection to Ven and why he chose Marluxia and Larxene for vessels.
The "Master of Masters" is a reference to Hermes Tresmegistus. Writer of the Kyballion.
If you look at how the war began, 7 warriors of Light, 13 of Dark. That leaves 35% good to 65% bad and yet, good tends to win.
I'd go into it more, but most people mock the occulted knowledge I've gleamed, so I'm not overly interested right now.
I love it how after KH3 you realize that Xehanort isn’t just some evil dude hell bent on destroying the world, he’s just someone who’s misguided in their attempt to protect all worlds from the darkness
Y'know I saw the length of this video and laughed. But after watching it, you guys did a really great job. Good job!
You guys actually did a really good job, especially, when pronouncing all the names!
I am IMPRESSED! You guys did such a great job at explaining all of this. As someone whose followed the series from the beginning, I think can’t think of anything you guys missed. Keep up the great work! 👍
Ok I believe you!
Just a pancake reference?
Hold on. How come you have 13 likes. Hmmm.
What a meme
You guys reaaaally picked a really complicated lore for just 14 minutes of video... Huh.
It’s not that complicated. It’s just not good to explain it all in 14 minutes lol.
Norted DetectiveBobbyFulbright TheSpiritofJUSTICE I have to disagree, I used to read the whole Wiki for days just to correct a few things, and as I just said, it took me days, weeks even. I barely watched the vid, to be honest, so I am in no position to say if it is made well, hopefully it is.
@@airfords1503 from how short this is it's clear that they would miss out on a lot
Kh lore is actually pretty easy to understand since it's straight forward if you played the game... You could honestly mostly watch only cutscenes and you would be fine kh 3d and re:coded where the Titels that made it weird to follow with the data world and time travel
@@mondaiji679 it's not about if it's easy to understand or not its just that 15 minutes is not much time to explain it even in a summary
“Thanks Squall, Rinoa’s a luucky lady”. Heh, that was funny
I can tell you did a lot of work putting this together. It’s no easy task, but I’m so impressed. I’m just thankful you got all the name pronunciations correct.
Thank you!!
This video is god sent! Almost everything I’ve seen so far some how further confused me, and or has rambled on for 30 mins + all the while mumbling and commenting on the game rather than explain it.
2:07 Is it okay that I love Sora’s original design!?
You did a really good job of summarizing the lore. Well done 👍
I believe only a few Keyblades can unlock hearts, like (posessed) Riku's Keyblade from the first game and Master Xehanort's Keyblade.
You got to love Kingdom Hearts, and it's nice we get to learn about it too, this is nice! 😄😁👍
It’s my favorite video game franchise. :)
Norted DetectiveBobbyFulbright TheSpiritofJUSTICE Awesome! 😄😁👍
Are we not gonna mention:
- Ventus lost his heart breaking the X-blade, refuged with Sora giving him the ability to wield the keyblade (in the first place since it was suppose to go to Riku), and Ventus became Roxas when becoming Sora’s nobody and then rejoined Sora. And Ventus can’t awaken until Sora realizes he has another persons heart with him still.
- Terra became Xehanort’s vessel(s) which is why all Xehanort copies look younger than the original except Young Xehanort cuz time travel.
- and Aqua THE BEST CHARACTER has been stuck in the realm of darkness for 15 years after sacrificing herself for Terra to live in the realm of light who just became Xehanort at the time.
Ventus never became roxas? Roxas only looks like ventus because ventus’ heart is inside of sora. So he’s Sora’s nobody but took on the appearance of ventus. This definitely should’ve been mentioned though since it’s a major part of the story
I'm still relatively new to the Kingdom Hearts series and you have summed up some of the more confusing plot/lore elements in 14 minutes in a manner that I can actually understand. Thank you very much, I think I might finally be as prepared as I can be for Kingdom Hearts 3 now.
To be honest the best way (if you cannot play the games) is to binge watch an LP of every game
@@artofthepossible7329 I'm halfway through Birth by Sleep...at least I think i'm halfway through it there's like three scenario's and I've lost track of where i am with them, and I believe I've nearly finished KH:2 I'm in the Land that Never Was. I was trying to play them in chronological order but I've basically been jumping from game to game so I've played bits and pieces here and there, tbh I'm really struggling with the gameplay as Kingdom Hearts is the only JRPG I've ever played and it's mechanics are not easy to wrap my head around. So while I am trying to catch up i'm mostly relying on RUclips to get up to date, i'm enjoying every minute of it though.
@natbat Keep in mind that there are 2 more scenarios in bbs to play through. That being the Final Episode and the Secret Episode. You just need to obtain all of the Xehanort reports to unlock it. And just to point out, one of those is within Terra’s mirage Arena. After you complete the final episode, you should be able to unlock the secret. However, it’s very difficult to unlock the secret Episode if your playing on standard or below. So if your on one of those difficulties, I highly recommend just watching the cutscenes online. Trust me, the stuff in the Secret Episode is worth it.
You were locking the hearts of the world so the Heartless couldn't steal their hearts, you unlocked the paths between worlds that had been sealed off to prevent worlds from meddling in each others affairs, likely this was to prevent a Ansem seeker of darkness situation, unfortunately they likely didn't predict someone would figure out how to control the corridors of darkness when they implemented the plan, and since only masters were allowed to open the paths between originally they probably thought they had a pretty good hold on the tides of events at the time.
Bruh I played each of these game 2 or more times and I didn't even know that was what was happening thank you!
Finally someone who’s actually done the research .
Even tho they still got a few things wrong but they did a good job otherwise
As short as this video is, and although a few aspects are incorrect, for the most part this video's actually done a pretty good job of simply explaining many of the particularly complex pieces of the Kingdom Hearts lore.
Thanks sooo much!
Would you mind clarifying the parts of the video that were incorrect here?
@@XavierZara Uhh, its pretty minor stuff, but here's a few of the more obvious ones to me.
Soul eater (riku's blade in kh1) was not actually a keyblade, although it later turned into a keyblade called "Way to the Dawn". Its basically like what the organization members use for weapons, their still magical, but their not a keyblade.
No one knows who actually summoned kingdom hearts, it may have been Gula but it hasn't been confirmed. He was just the first person to say he was going to try and summon it, which led to all the other fortellers also trying to gather power(in the form of light gathered from killing heartless) to summon Kingdom hearts themselves, for their own goals. This leads to the war, as now other keyblade wielders from other factions have the light, and by beating them you stop them from collecting more and you can steal it for your own faction. Thus the light collected from the heartless is slowly concentrated as you slay more people and fewer wielders remain, until Kingdom hearts can finally be summoned.
The princesses of hearts shown in the video are likely not princesses of heart anymore, as a recent trailer showed us that the bad guys were searching for the "New" princesses of heart.
There are actually 3 kingdom hearts, (however we never get to physically see the 3rd one, but we do see its shadow at the end of Kingdom hearts through the door to darkness) There's the one made from the heart of worlds from Kingdom hearts 1, the one made from the heart of men from Kingdom hearts 2, and the true kingdom hearts, which is made up of all hearts, not just the worlds, or men's which appears in Birth by Sleep and Back Cover.
oh and we know more of the True seekers of darkness then this video showed, but I guess that could be in spoiler territory depending on weather you want to go into Kh3 having seen the trailers or not.
It was 6 years development started in 2013 even if you don't count the other games :/
Not to mention the game engine switch basically made them restart all their progress and they also had to get used to the new engine. So the game that is currently about to be released was probably first worked on in 2014 or 2015
This is a great video!👍🏼 gives you just the right amount of information about the lore. This should be a go-to video for kh lore explanation
Soul eater is not a Keyblade, it's a sword that Riku used because he didn't see himself as fit to use the Keyblade. Way to the Dawn looks like soup eater but in reality it's more of a mirror image of Riku's heart to show that he accepted both light and darkness.
Holy shit that made more sense than most of the videos out there trying to explain the story good job might have to rewatch just before kh 3 comes out for another refresher
Did nobody pick up on the fact that the organization used their names, scrambled and added an x?? Roxas is just Sora with an x, as for all members.
In 0.2 fragmentary passage it shows Luxu watching the aftermath of a keyblade war. Which time and which war was this?? I was kinda confused cuz there's been like a hundred keyblade wars
There are only 2 wars, and only really one that matters. It took me a long time to really understand the course of events
1. The end of KH3 is not a keyblade war, but a clash between light and darkness.
2. There was a (presumably unseen) keyblade war that took place during the MoM's childhood, supposedly where he lost all of his original allies (we know nothing about this war at all)
3. There is no keyblade war during KHUX despite being a recreation of the events of kingdom hearts X (chi)
Basically, the events of X happen which end in the keyblade war. This is officially when the foretellers split up and when Luxu absconds into the future with the Gazing Eye and the black box. The other foretellers all 'die' in the keyblade war (It is more likely that the war somehow sends them into the future to the end of kh3)
Then immediately after X happens, UX happens, which is a data-recreation of the entire events of X, so the foretellers are suddenly back in the past and leading unions again. This persists up until the period where the keyblade war would've occurred, except that it doesn't, and the data foretellers still disappear along with MoM and Luxu. The events after the keyblade war in the data recreation of X's daybreak town are the events of KHUX, with Ephemer leading the new unions and eventually sending themselves into the future using the life-boats.
Luxu is prophecized to have given his keyblade to his first apprentice 'during the chaos' which is presumably the keyblade war that occurred in reality before the data recreation.
Impressive, my KH mental breakdown has been cured.
Who's/who are the Organization XII? (Check the description...)
Im pretty sure Ansem the Wise was the one who summoned the heartless and created emblem heartless (or with xehanort) which was confirmed in kh1 through the reports and then reconfirmed in kh2 when xemnas and ansem the wise meet again and refrence it.
i don't usual comment on RUclips but this is the best explanation of Kingdom hearts for a newcomer like me
I only have two complains.
Soul Eater was a medium for Riku to summon Way to Dawn, but originally it was only a dark sword.
And how in the fricking hyuk do you guys write Organization 13 like that , it has to have the roman numbers to make it look cool :(
Aside of that, GOOD VIDEO, I'm impressed.
You did a better job than I expected! Also, not to be too nitpicky but in your description you wrote Organization XII (12) instead of Organization XIII(13).
I'm so proud of you Leaderboard! You guys got a lot right and explained everything in a concise and easy to understand way without sounding patronizing or like you don't care about the plot. You did a really great job.!(Save for a few wrong details.) 👏👏👏👏👏
This was a great summary of the majority of the series
As the release get closer, I have this nightmare where I just go pick up my copy and the guy at the counter say “sorry dude the games been delayed”. And I’m just in my room playing all the remastered and crying!
Great job on explaining the lore! I liked it!
Kingdom Hearts confusing story actually works making it epic, imagine if Looney Toons did the same thing.
It’s my favorite story in media honestly. Even if it is a bit confusing at times.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE At least the soundtrack is Godlike.
Soul Eater is not a keyblade
they didn't D:
well i know what i'm not watching
@King Swirl 👑 it doesn't free the hearts trapped in darkness it just send them back to darkness it also lacks the unlocking ability, it does turn into a keyblade during kh2 once riku fully balances light and dark abilities. You can think of it as half a keyblade.
@@zaster101 also its more like the oganization member wapeon yhey are magical device ho are powered by magic like a keyblade, but lacks the bonkers power of a real keyblade, basicaly they are keyblade proxyes
12:56 "what are Dream Eaters"
me after the Union X finale: *"oh no"*
Lol, the announcer girl’s like “And we’re going to do our DAAANGED best-“ and I’m thinking to myself “yep, and if you don’t then you’re going to piss off half the world in Kingdom Hearts fans.”
Lol. Sadly, this is true....
and this is a great sum up video for kh series actually
This was a really good breakdown, nicely done 👌
The 13 year wait, I mean anticipation is almost over.
IN HYPE WE TRUST!!!!!
this was surprisingly NOT cringey. Great job :D
We appreciate the positivity. Thank you.
10:47 don't they have the organization members mixed up with marluxas group and xigbars group??
Theres only one Organization. It's all one group. Especially in KH3
Lol! Go play re chain of memories and kh2 again, and ddd
No shit they are all one organization
@@cameron_1509 Go watch the KH3 trailers, theres only one Organization, and Marluxia, Xigbar, Demyx, Luxord, Larxene, And Vexen are all part of it. There is no "Marluxia's group" or "Xigbar's group" anymore.
Ava also participated in the war. The Dandelions were the only ones who did not.
I would love at some point if we can have one where we create a character and become a keyblade to fight alongside the keyweilders in a cool co-op mode I love the OGs but we know thier backgrounds and story it's time we write our own legend
Love your videos Sydney your amazing keep up the good work
Thanks for the support
Kairi is not a Guardian! Yes, she wields a Keyblade, but the seven Guardians are Sora, Riku, Mickey, Terra, Ventus, Aqua, and Lea.
The heart that created kingdom hearts wascin the box Luxu had, the heart itself is the MoM's. He sacrificed his body and left his heart and eye behind to see what happens after the keyblade war he was told about.
The Arbiter meets kingdom hearts as of the arbiter would be on the heartless team and in the ending he betrays Master X
You guys did a good job but there are some in-correct info in the video.
a lot of incorrect info...
At least it's not as bad as IGN
While Kingdom Hearts is by no means simple, it is easier than you think to follow....” Provided you’ve either been here since day one or have watched enough anime that this madness seems normal to you.
Ok.
For a 14 minute video.
This a pretty nice.
Partially. This video skimmed some details, but this is the literal last straw for the "kingdom hearts has confusing lore" meme.
The "Unversed" are indeed emblem heartless prototypes, as they themselves have emblems. Think of Vanitas as a mob spawner in Minecraft, and Xehanort just figured out how to create custom mobs. This is part of the plan to gain access to Kingdom Hearts. Xehanort needs to artificially meet a prophecy for his plan to work!
I don’t believe that has ever been stated.
The lore is over 24 hours long!!
Yet we somehow condensed most of the lore into 14 minutes and 39 seconds.
holy shit. the first time i watched you you only had a few thousand subs. somebody came up in the world!
"Cusp your likeness, wield a truth. Diana."
If I was there in that universe though, I wish I was somewhere in a place that's Cars-ish, Bolt-ish, or Finding-Nemo-ish. Or maybe I'd hang out somewhere in the World that Never Was. (Also known as "The Unexistent World" or "The world that did not exist", as translated from its Japanese name via Google/Bing)
I'm just confused about all the keyblades with the gazing eye in them...
No name
Vanitas keyblade
Rikus old keyblade (kh1)
Another one somewhere
End of Pain from DDD, Darknaw and Chaos Ripper from BbS.
Riku never had a keyblade in the first one, if you're talking about Soul Eater it wasn't a keyblade.
Well keyblades are forged as imitations, and since thats one of the first keyblades created, it's probably fair to presume that people copied the gazing eye from it into later keyblade designs.
Can someone explain why back in the day during the keyblade war, everyone had a keyblade. But in the future there is only a few keyblades and you are considered special for having one. Is the kingdom key and kingdom key D more special than the others? They weren’t forged like the rest? They were already made from the beginning?
Hopefully Union X will end soon so we can add that piece of lore to the mix!
Like, being awfully honest, I actually love how complex KH can be when it comes to understand its narrative, it makes me feel more engaged with its characters and the world they live in, even if it comes out as silly to other people.
That's the thing. It will never end
What' the name of that eerie music in the background. 9:17.
Ronnie Sanders I can’t pin it. You can check out kh music on RUclips tho if you’re curious.
@@perfectlybroken7731 That music isn't from Kingdom Hearts. I think I've heard it before but I don't remember where exactly.
Sorry don’t know either but I do say it does sound really familiar to me too
@@ronniesanders8546 While I don't recognize it from anything, It does have a
resemblance to the beginning of the Hollow bastion field theme from kh1, in particular the string section of the theme, maybe thats what its reminding you of?
@@t_g_gamerftw5075 I've heard before in several videos including Star Wars music. It's a very mysterious music. I know what is but I've forgot the name of the music. But I've definitely heard it before.

(about 5 mins in)
“BUT THE LIGHT IS VERY BRIGHT”
Wait. I didn't know Gula summoned Kingdom Hearts. All I know is that he was responsible for the Keyblade War as he wanted to gather Lux to defeat Darkness. Which led all the factions except Dandelion to fight over the light. Am I right?
Basically yea your right, no one knows who really summoned KH. Gula was just the first to say he was going to try to. This led the other fortellers to also try and gather Lux to summon KH. So they instructed their factions to do the same. Thus people now greeding for the Lux, attack each other, as each other wielder you strike down, is a wielder from another faction who can't gather the Lux from heartless, and you can take their Lux, thus weakening the other faction and strengthening yours. The war breaks out, and Lux is concentrated until only a few wielders remain who now wield tons of Lux, until finally someone has enough Lux to summon Kingdom Hearts itself.
Fyi: χ in Greek isn't pronounced in a Latin accent (kai) but it's pronounced in Greek as hi (or he,like "he" has a keyblade)....
How else did xehanort obtain no name Master's defender was passed on to aqua and luxu was bitter toward the master of masters so it would be likely that luxu felt overlooked and resented light and sought to train a keyblade wielder in the ways of darkness xehanort seems perfect for this exact role
Other than some questionable jokes. This video was really informative. Best summary I have seen!

Was pretty good but near the end you guys jumped around quite a bit, feels bad for the newbie keyblade wielders out there xD
...so many things you got wrong here...
First off, Riku's SWORD "soul eater" IS NOT a key blade! Onward to the dawn IS a key blade.
Second, Gula DID NOT summon kingdom hearts durning the lost Masters key blade war.
I could go on but I'm not.
Besides the mistakes, it was a good video
Quite a good summary guys, well done! A Simple and Clean (haha!) explanation.
Although there are few error here and there. But it's ok.
Great video! This is really helpful.
But what if the master of masters is dead can he still see the future? 🤔 Good video from all the kh vids I've seen this is well done 👍
He’s obviously very much alive lol.
My theory is that the Master of Masters is actually just a heart in a sack. Very similar to how Ansem was when he had the brown robe back in KH1. Now, he did this because his body is actually being held captive. Specifically, I believe he is trapped inside Kingdom Hearts itself. This is why he caused the Keyblade war and gave Luxu the no name Keyblade. He intended to have a catastrophic event fall into the pages of history and which later a young man named Xehanort would become obsessed with. Xehanort beleives opening kingdom hearts will grant him the power to make the world a better place. But what if that’s not what Kingdom Hearts is? Instead, it is just a prison where the MoM is being kept. And MoM wants Xehanort to release him.
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE ok thats genius and very american movieish at the same time
