Игры
To Kingdom Hearts fans: what's the most frustrating inaccuracy in the video? I shuffled a lot around to make the narrative flow better and I'm genuinely curious haha. Thanks for watching! ALSO I'm live on Twitch with KH2 so come on by and yell at meeeee: www.twitch.tv/barryisstreaming
To save you a little trouble:
- Sora gets his keyblade after Riku leaves Destiny Islands
- We don't see Mickey at all until the end of KH1
- Sora gets the keyblade back a few rooms before the giant keyhole room
- Roxas doesn't witness the Org XIII peeps heading to Castle Oblivion
- Roxas meets Namine and DiZ in the real world, not the simulation
- Only Mickey meets DiZ at the end of KH2
- I could explain why Vanitas looks like Sora but it would take too long and doesn't really matter
- Aqua and Terra go to Destiny Islands separately
- Aqua meets Kairi at Radiant Garden
- Terra gives Braig his scar, not Aqua
- Eraqus's heart lives on in Terranort kinda sorta
- It's not specifically No Name that can see the future but the Gazing Eye the Master of Masters placed within it
- Aqua doesn't meet Riku in 0.2 or Riku isn't aware of her or something
- Probably like five hundred other things
Barry Kramer I am only doing this because you asked.
At 6:00 when Sora reforms he technically isn’t actually complete at all and is still a glorified heartless with a form similar to his body because of his heart’s strength. The entire point why Ansem the Wise wanting to restore him in Chain of Memories/Beginning of KH2 is so that he can be merged back with his nobody. The memories are basically a side reason
358/2 Days is really pronounced 3-5-8 days over 2. Other than that, spot on!
The Greek letter χ is actually pronounced 'Kai' by like all of Europe... which is annoying so you'll find people over here calling it the X Blade because it's shaped like a f***ing X
33 minute summary for KH
Sounds about right
Everybody in this game is either Sora, Kairi or Xehanort.
Except for Xion, who's all three.
MrGBH underrated comment
Or Mickey
Xion who?
Or a riku
Riku was a xeahnort.
The story of Kingdom Hearts is a lot of things, but “Simple and Clean” ain’t one of them.
XD I get it. This comment should have way more likes.
With your PFP, I can Imagine Huey AND Riley saying the exact same thing. Except Riley would add, "and das gay!"
It’s not “My Sanctuary” either.
The story is like that fever dream I had after I took all the drugs at Disney world and woke up in an manga store
Underrated comment. Fuck you take my like lol
The most infuriating inaccuracy is that Kairi wasn't left EXACTLY where Sora left her.
She moved like, 4 feet down the beach. Gosh xD
four whole steps of character building 😂
@@raeste.claire7093this is so true that I'm gonna cry
Mickey losing his shirt makes the most sense out of the whole plot
Canon demanded it
@@PanAndScanBuddy bros still here 4 years later
It's an irony that KH's theme song is called "simple and clean"
...
You're kidding right?
That can't be it's name.
Please tell me you're joking.
PLEASE.
@@ninetails8471 Sadly, he's not.
@@poissony Wh
Why?
good one
@@ninetails8471 nope it's real
To quote a meme that I saw somewhere-
Kairi: “This is my boyfriend, Sora. And this is Sora’s boyfriend, Riku.”
YESSSSS!!!!!! It's taken from Parks and Rec when April Ludgate was dating the two gay guys.
The early template for that meme used clips from that. 😂😂😂
I loved so much the fact that you quote instead of just take the joke and all the credits.
You’re so honest, thank you for that
I saw that meme tho
ReMind DLC:.....
💀💀
Barry didn't have to go that hard for an Ansem the Wise rap, but he did that for us.
It's a pretty sweet rap, gotta say
Its so good
that's my fav part alongside when he said WHAT DO YOU WANT YOU CREEPY RAT and Mickey mouse yes- mikey mouse did I stutter
Ok as good as it is- why does he change eye and skin colors. Supports my theory that the writers just played around with word fridge magnets until they got something close to not a complete jumble
14:21
I love how this plot is so bizarre and confusing, yet my biggest question is still “WHERE are their PARENTS?!”
Because that's a VERY GOOD question.
Probably still cooking dinner
Literally yes like did they went to get milk and never come back 😭
@@ani3343 I read the KH1 novel. Sora’s “Mom and Dad” are mentioned in one line at the beginning and never again. Even when Sora thinks about wanting to get back to the islands with Riku and Kairi, he never thinks about anyone’s family. Kairi and Riku’s parents are never mentioned at all.
They're Disney characters; every Disney parent is either dead or missing
The fact that the heart is the heartless and the body is the nobody still hurts me so much on a metaphysical level
Oh shit you’re actually right
People without context: w h a t.
Surely then a brain is what makes you person right? and then then when a creature or person dies the barin dies and the other parts go on to become heartless or nobody?
@@JoshPlaysVideoGames go ask a mouse
Wasn't this because of a misconception by ansem the wise? And it became popularized by the time he figured it out, right?
The funny part about this video is that if you look or direct your attention away for even 10 seconds you’ll be totally lost when you start watching again lol
_Just like the _*_REAL_*_ story!_
Nexpo I did exactly that while the video was playing to read your damn comment
I did that about 4 times, I think I understand the plot even less now.
To be fair I got lost even while paying full attention to the video so... \_(ツ)_/
Oh good it wasn't just me.
The slow zoom in at 15:15 with Naminé trying to get into the shot is just... perfection.
"Yes, but it's a lot stupider than you think and we'll get to that in a long time-- and I'm still angry about it." is basically my mood when it comes to Kingdom Hearts.
"Sora believes in himself, ansem turns into a boat, and the player mashes x a lot." is the single most accurate description there is
Kingdom Hearts = button mashing the game
and SOMETIMES triangle
@Gabriel Mota I kid you not, Ansem LITERALLY transforms into a giant boat. marathonrecaps.files.wordpress.com/2015/08/kh1-2015-08-31-20h35m45s659.png Here's proof.
@Gabriel Mota According to the wiki the boat was already a thing. Ansem just either:
A. merged with it.
or
B. boarded it.
The wiki doesn't seem to know which one it was either.
@Gabriel Mota Why do i want that to happen
"It's a mobile game don't worry too much about it" *becomes one of the most significant plot reveals in the series*
"Lol, let's put the story behind Maleficent's revival in the KHUX"
- Nomura probably
haha
Wait what?! What did I miss?
@@TheSelfCareWitch Kingdom Heart launches their mobile game years ago and now contain some of the most important pieces of lore, such as:
- Society that predates Xehanort and Birth by Sleep
- That society's attempt in defeating Darkness
- Darkness's true nature, which explains as to why they are so powerful and why Shadows are animalistic in nature
- introductions to a figure that's not only more important than Xehanort, but also whose action creates a domino effects to all characters we've met so far
- *THE KEYBLADE WAR ITSELF*
- How thousand of children gets entangled into a war that cause so much destructions, it splits the realm entirely
- Ventus's, Marluxia's and Larxene's past
- Explanations on Maleficent's revival in KH 2
- A potential inclusion to both Yozora and future KH titles
@@ShatteredGlass916 Hm.
I'd like more info
I actually think the “Recusant Sidgel” thing is p neat. Re-naming a person by adding what is basically a magic rune to their name to control them is a pretty slick idea, in a Spirited Away kinda’ way, especially if you can conveniently pronounce said magical rune like a letter.
That part I don't mind, it's the fact that it also applies to Sora's shirt in DDD for no comprehensible reason that's a bridge too far for me lol
@@mcwyman7928 Yeah, that's completely fair. Especially since a LOT of other outfits in the series have an "X" shape, but as far as I know, it was only important to the plot that one time.
@@semudara9723 They should have made it for better foreshadowing have every villain wear the symbol, and also have a bunch of secret baddies also wear it, and if the player figures it out and notices it, when they enter a town they're like: "Oh crap, I know what that X means..."
EXACTLY ITS SO COOL
The thing I find stupid is that it comes out of nowhere that the X is used to track people.
Like use some sort of foreshadowing to hint that it has greater purpose than just to label the members of organization 13.
Like maybe you could have included a scene where Xemnas was able to perfectly track Roxas or something like that, and have the moment where we find out how that was done in DDD.
Then it wouldn't feel like an ass pull like it is right now.
Dear Future Self: The Ansem rap begins at 14:20
Future you listen to the rap
listen to the rap
You know the drill
Don't mind me, just commenting for future's reference... future reference.
It's that time again-
You know a story is great when its own wiki uses the word "somehow" to describe a major plot point, which breaks the rules of universe it takes place in
that's what they teach you in writing school.
Star Wars
My headcannon for that moment is: Kairi, being a princess of light, was able to ground sora to the world of light, giving his heartless the same shape as his "somebody", but probably has a heartless symbol on his chest like "terranort ansem", while "terranort ansem" was already consumed by darkness so his heartless kept his "somebody".
@@raditzace OH GOD!! WHAT?!?!
raditzace imma save you a lot of time.
If you have to go to that much effort, write your own. You *already are*
Now imagine trying to explain all this to Walt Disney himself
he's gonna kill himself!
I can hear the facepalmmmmm🤦♀️
Yen Sid walt
Walt Disney is burning in hell at the moment i think he's a little busy
"Your mouse is in there so you get royalties"
An important thing to note is that in KH2 the Secret Ansem Reports specifically state Namine is not a true Nobody. She's her own special being kind of "Nobody".
I was confused before... and I don't think I'm any less confused. Kingdom Hearts feels like a fanfiction made my a middle-schooler who likes Disney and Final Fantasy, and watches a lot of anime.
I still don't get it.
Sora smokes enough light to beat everyone else, and everyone else smokes varying amounts of light and darkness, which gives them powers
Arlo, my guy, I believe in you. Your one of my favorite and if you have tolerance for Pikmin releases, you can have tolerance for this story.
Look, all you have to remember is: the spikier the hair, the gooder the boy. Okay? Okey.
Lord Scribe Yep. Thanks Tifa.
Butternut squash...?
i didn’t know anything about kingdom hearts before watching this video and now i know less

Me too
Criminally underrated comment.
@@seantimmins9199 Abrams :P
Yeaaa same
You know, the fact that Sora failed the Mark of Mastery could have meant so much more. He was following the same path as Terra, and Yen Sid following the path of Eraqus. But instead of either following the same mistakes or showing them learning from their mistakes, they just don't mention it at all. Which is sad
sora failing the exam by being tricked into his own dreams by 13 xehanorts was stupid and a waste of time, therefore it isnt mentioned whatsoever
"Hangis Bunger, you're six feet under" this line is gold, pure gold
The whole video is gold. "Bibidi bobidi deus ex machina, bintch" had me screech laughing.
so basically what youre telling me is
...
the final fantasy characters in the series are even more pointless than the disney ones
Cash grab ftw
IIRC, it was so they didn't need to create a whole bunch of original characters to fill out the non-disney supporting roles in the first game.
Which is why they are mostly constrained to traverse town.
That's why their hair is so pointy. Gotta balance it out somehow.
@@alphamone Nomura actually clarified it and said why theyre not in KH3 at all. It's because they didn't want a bunch of OCs running around doing things and world building an unproven franchise. FF characters existed just to sell copies of the game. When people got invested in the KH OCs by the time KH3 came around, the team decided to give the Final Fantasy natives the ol' Fugo treatment.
What's the *point* of having hair if they're not pointy?
It's like Kingdom Hearts was already fanfiction, and then the rest of the games are each fanfiction of the previous game.
That's the *best* description for this series I've ever heard. :>
But its a good fan fic.
And Birth by Sleep is a fanfic about the writer's OCs that are responsible for possibly the most critical single event in the canon characters' lives.
And it miraculously manages to be the best fic in the entire anthology.
So like making copies of a copy I a copy machine. Got it.
Still not as bad as fire emblem fates
This is the most comprehensible telling of the most incomprehensible story ever made.
This series has one of the strangest lore in the history of gaming
Wait until you see FNAF
@@melodi_bunniezWait until you see CoD Zombies.
Kingdom Hearts haters: "The story makes no sense!"
Kingdom Hearts Fans: "Yup"
Its what makes it fun, its an organized chaos kinda like a puzzle where every single puzzle piece is a different shape but still somehow connects to one another

@@estaveler3288 Pretty much
Me: aaaaaa
(Who has played the game 100 times)
It's not that confusing if you play the games. I know that not everybody has time, but it's not that bad, just convoluted
Kairi does have a personality, it's called "girl"
That's right, Kairi's whole personality revolves around her being a girl. No wonder Sora likes Riku more.
Pretty much. 😭 That's all the representation girls get. And it's STILL more main characters than POC get.
A.M. i mean... it’s japan in the ninties, so i dunno what you were expecting 8T
Fif Gallag ya but its 2019 and she still doesn’t have a personality even tho she was Important in kh3

I love how the series has gotten so damn big at this point that even a summary takes half an hour
I hate that this actually did manage to clear some things up for me, specifically how we went from “Ventus and Vanitas merging will create the X-Blade!” to “7 randos and 13 more randos fighting will create the X-Blade!”
"Hocus pocus these games have no focus" should totes be these games new tagline
i died laughing at that
i.. can't... XD

I need that on a T-Shirt
Would buy a shirt with this on it
Yeah, ff13 has alot of that.
The worst inaccuracy was saying Xemnas turns into a ship when he really becomes a sick ass dragon that throws skyscrapers, and then he becomes a zebra.
wait what? seriously? never played the games
@@m7mdalshatti596 Yeah, you can watch the fight here v=jIT7IHVsh4I
He turns into a dragon at 20:45, the skyscraper chucking phase starts at around 27:45. The Zebra phase at 30:37 is less him literally turning into a zebra and more making fun of his outfit.

I can only give props to Kairi who was blessed being the only person who was eligible to be both a princess of heart and guardian of light, which exponentially increased her foundation and in turn, her ability to do nothing

"Yes, but it's a lot stupider than you think, and we'll get to that in a long time, and I'm still angry about it" is a better summary

My favorite part of any anime showdown is when the antagonist turns into a boat.
Xemnas actually didn't turn into a boat, he owns a dragon that he sicked on Sora and Riku, while his Black Coat turned into a White and Black Striped Coat. That's about right.
My favorite part is when the antagonist turns into a goat.
@@DioDinero unfortunately wasnt his final form, but that fight wasnt as good as other boss battles
@HardLeg Gaming This is like seeing your teachers outside school
It's my favourite scene in Titanic.
I may have been drunk while watching it.
This entire series storyline just sounds like the literal embodiment of pain
Crazy thing is Union Cross’s story took like 8 years to develop and has the most batshit insane story with so many twists and vague secret plans, and this guy barely touched on it, probably cuz it wasn’t completed at the time. But the craziest thing is it actually is pretty interesting and kind of makes sense, and it is vital to everything in the entire series. Also it’s just better because there is way less cringey dialogue like “my friends are my power” and junk, although there is way too much filler.
“What do you want now, you creepy rat??”
My wife and I quote this all the time.
16:16
I legit couldn't breathe from laughing at that bit, 10/10 delivery
So in summary: Kingdom Hearts 1 made sense, and then it all went to hell from there.
I could follow the second one. But after that was a big dumpster fire.
It's more like:
Nomura: "This is my fanfiction! Please, Disney, let me publish!"
Disney: "No."
Square: "But we can make money outta this."
Disney: "ok, i'm in."
* Some selling later *
Disney: "Nomura, i dont know what the hell you did, but do a sequel"
Nomura: "but there's no way to make a sequel..!"
Disney: "I don't care. Just do it, or else I'll send Mickey over to talk to you like he did with the Jonas Bros*."
*South park reference
It makes more sense when you play all the games in the correct order and gather all the lore in the games as you play them. The order is commonly confused, it's Birth By Sleep, Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 days/Kingdom Hearts re:chain of memories, Kingdom Hearts 2, Kingdom Hearts Re:coded, Kingdom Hearts 0.2, and then Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance. Technically, Back Cover and Unchained χ are also a part of the storyline, before Birth By Sleep even, but they're not really essential to the storyline. Everything important is told in other games.
Kingdom Hearts 3 is obviously the latest but I actually haven't played half of these games, or rather, I've started most of them and discovered the order that way. Honestly if you play Birth By Sleep and collect all the lore that's hidden and play Kingdom Hearts and collect all the lore that's hidden, most everything makes sense.
Except for Kairi fixing Sora's heart,,, That's still a mystery to me at least.
@@elizabethcabbage9817 It actually doesn't.
Synn does to me
you cannot stop me from rewatching this over and over
I love how that moment with Xemnas rearranging Sora's name for Roxas seems like a joke but that's legit how it fucking happened in the in game cut scene.
Even though Namine is a nobody she still has more personality than Kiri.
Namine is pretty much better kairi

“Alright open up the door, you dollar store goth!”
You pretty much skipped over how there's only 1 Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts 1, so much that it's a plot point where Riku and Sora fight over which of them is more worthy and it moves between them. But then in the prequel it's just supposed to be normal that not only are there many Keyblades but many people are worthy to wield them and training with them.
Aah, so it's like that huh. I understand everything now.
**Doesn't get it at all**

In forcing you to confront that it exists in all its… self… you have to deal with the fact hat the world is such that this thing was possible. That you paid money for them to throw colors and sounds at you for a really long time, and there isn't anything under that. There wasn't a point. There is only you, and your choices.
It's a f***ing existential crisis
And it turns into an anime boy.
Yes, it's all canon
18:09 "Turns out Ventus forgot a whole bunch of stuff that was SUPER important" could be the thesis statement for Kingdom Hearts Union Cross.

Your Welcome
Alright now that sora is in smash, time to understand him
literally came back to this video just to look for this comment
Got a lot of work to do, decent summary here
Useless character
@@Distant64 Literally the most requested character of all time but ok.
Tell us who you wanted at least.
@@lucylu3342 I wanted nario and captin zack to get into smash so they can suck each other off
Me, a KH fan that has dedicated almost 20 years of his life at this point to this franchise and studying the lore: "Yea that makes sense, yea that...uh...yea... Hmm... Maybe this is why people don't take us seriously."
Same 💀
so. did u think kingdom hearts made sense before?
''dedicated''
more like wasted
@@underwirez matter of perspective
@@8-bitsarda747 ah yes, bc WASTING almost 20 years of your life on media that has a feature of mickey literally looking like an emo is just simply a “matter of perspective”
I love How Both Roxas And Ventus Say "I Dont Wanna" at both 11:19 and 18:33
I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve rewatched this for the sheer hilarity of its presentation, it’s so good
Everytime it starts to make sense, the plot just introduces an element that just throws your whole focus off
That's Kingdom Hearts for ya.
😆
So true!!!!
So that’s where xenoblade chronicles learned it from (lololol)
@@cooldawg5575 Xenoblade is actually a coherent narrative. KH is indescribably more convoluted and nonsensical.
I went from understanding 0 % of Kingdom Hearts to understanding 0 % of Kingdom Hearts.
Martin9172 I went from understanding 75% of Kingdom Hearts to understanding 0% of Kingdom Hearts.
I went from understanding 150% of Red Dead Redemption 2 to understanding -.33333% of Skyward Sword
BUUUUT!!!! Sora believed in himself.

So your understanding doubled?
It went from being birthed by sleep to dying while wake
god roxas was such a good protag, i loved 358/2 days
Now would be a good time to mention that if you wish to join our fandom, you better prepare yourself for emotional pain because of:
1. the story and plot writing 😭
2. the story and plot writing 💀
Oh you mean the imaginary plooooot! 😮😂
What plot?
At one point in KH2, Xemnas asks all the main characters why they hate the darkness. Mickey responds with “we don’t hate it, it’s just kind of…scary”, meaning there is no legitimate reason for this light/dark conflict to exist and I find that hilarious.
Yes there is. Xehanort believes that darkness and light need to exist in balance with one another, kind of like yin yang. But the world's are unbalanced as people utilize darkness for their own purposes. This naturally creates conflict with light because again, the two things natural try to exist in balance. Xehanort wishes to essentially delete reality and build a new one where everything is in balance. The rest of the characters are like damn we don't wanna be deleted. To access Kingdom Hearts though, the X-Blade must be forged. To do so, seven hearts of light must battle thirteen hearts of darkness. Hence the entire conflict of kingdom hearts 3.
I mean, the darkness people keep blowing up worlds and murdering dudes, that seems like a legit reason.
The conflict only exists because of the heartless and people wanting power otherwise it would just be real life but with big key shaped swords
most conflicts don't exist because of hate but for some kind of economic reason. Maybe Mickey wants to harvest the dark and turn it into fuel :>
Riku adds on that it's about "who's hiding in the darkness" that they hate so much. Considering the Dark Team is pretty okay with mass destruction out of curiosity and hunger for power, the Light Squad has an excellent point for fighting them at every turn. Old Man Xehanort experimenting on unwilling subjects, bred monsters that feed on normal people to expand their numbers, and destroyed multiple worlds... because he was interested in a fairy tale/creation myth? Stopping one guy set on causing an apocalypse is a pretty good reason to fight back.
Malificent: LOOK SORA DOSENT EVEN CARE ABOUT YOU
Riku: O K I B E L I V E Y O U
By far this is one of the most sane and logical recaps of Kingdom Hearts I have seen - and that’s saying a lot 🤣
THE AMOUNT OF HOLLERING AND CACKLING THIS VIDEO MADE ME DO… I can’t ✋🏽😂 the part that absolutely wrecked me “Riku, you passed good job, Sora, you almost got Norted you fail.” I SCRUMPT 😩🤣
The great thing about the KH story is that even if you told it more seriously, it’d still be ridiculous. Loved this, man!!!
But its still amazing regardless of its ridiculousness.
I was just watching your KH reviews the other day! Nice to see you here
@rey It really is amazing though. If you don't like it, thats fine. But the story of these games are the reason why i keep coming back. Even if its confusing as hell lol.
So it's a really poorly written game? Sounds great!
@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE I kinda wish it was less contrived tho.
It still boggles my mind that the theme song of this entire series is titled "Simple and Clean"
"simple and clean as the way that you're making me feel tonight"
No. Definitely not how you make me feel, Kingdom Hearts.
Welcome to my TEDTalk.: The full story of Kingdom Hearts is anything but Simple & Clean.
Jonah Shriver *is the way
@@EluneMusic hey c'mon don't do me like that
Hey, hey, HEY. Leave Utada Hikatu out of this. She did nothing wrong.
This is still one of my favorite videos to send people who want to know about Kingdom hearts. When I listened to your voice doing the voice over it makes me laugh because I suddenly think of the oversimplified history guy narrating this with the attitude of the BattleBlock theater narrator😊
And you know its serious because nobody turns into a boat.
I love this
If a story is flawed, don't fix it, just complicate it until no one bothers to pick it apart.
I'm excited to dive into KH3 today, bit this made me laugh!
Gotta love how Alice, who's clearly the odd woman out in a group of Disney princesses, is a Princess of Heart, instead of one of the other Disney princesses _already in the games,_ like Ariel or Mulan.
Maybe Ariel and Mulan were too much of rebellious girlbosses for Maleficent 😂
Hollow Bastian didn't have a fish tank.
@@Jotari Wasn't a problem for Ursula
Lets be honest if either of them were there the villains wouldve been crying on the floor by the time the heroes got there
Tbf Mulan isn't a princess, really
But yeah Ariel not being there makes no sense
Back here in prep for Kingdom Hearts 4. Still haven’t played any of the games.
“You dollar store goth!” Is a genuinely devastating insult
🤣
I agree
“WILL GOOFY SAY A SWEAR? LET GOOFY SWEAR!”
“fyuck”
sadly, goofy does not say fyuck
@@corruptedplayer ty for the summary.
Man I can’t wait to see what kind of boat-shaped final battle we’ll get in KH4, since it’s actually coming out in the next couple years, instead of maybe in eighty years
"Lost his shirt to preserve continuity, what a guy, *what a guy!* "

i've watched this video 7 times and i think i've "got it memorized"

Akira Nijiima only 7 times? That’s rough, buddy.
@@reneekuperus5095 don't worry, i've watched it more times after the comment
Lol
@@Detahramet God loves you an wants to save you, we can't save ourselves because Sin has affected our souls and without Jesus to come an save you you'll be damned forever in the fire, But God in his great love sent Jesus to save us from sin and hell and death! He took our punishment that we deserved he took our sins to the cross and died to save us but it's not over! God rose him from the dead on third day! Jesus defeated hell and death He's our only salvation and savior, you can have eternal life through Jesus who defeated death it's a free gift you can have it and be a apart of God's family but you must repent to God an ask for his forgiveness of our sins he will hear you then you must believe in him completely and put all faith in him and believe in the Gospel and then believe an confess Jesus is Lord an that God raised Jesus from the dead and that he is alive and then accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord an savior and trust him with your life and he will save you then you will have eternal life and have a personal relationship with Jesus our savior and with God our Father 🕊Romans 10:9 (KJV) That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.📖🕊Romans 10:10-13 (KJV) For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.

Barry, I've watched this multiple times a day for weeks. It's so well made, so fucking hilarious, and it really makes me feel the same existential crisis you feel (and I felt when playing the games) trying to make sense of this.
This is literally the most comical video I've seen about kingdom hearts and it made the series not confusing to me anymore well done
“Heartless” is 100% heart
“Nobody” is 100% body
...ok
Also thanks for the disembodied hands encased in blue gloves! They’re really shiny and fun!
I-YELL- A-LOT
Well, they are “some” body and “some” heart.
SOME BODY once told me the world is gonna roll me, I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed. She was looking kinda dumb with her finger and her thumb in the shape of an L on her forehead.
I’ve always thought of that as WTF
That might be my biggest issue with this series.
@@drewforchic9083 it actually does make sense. When you say someone is "heartless" you basically are saying they're a cruel, uncaring monster and that's what the heartless are. Nobodies are beings who shouldn't exist and are without their own identity. Hence why they're called "nobodies" rather than "no bodies"

Repliku actually knows he’s a clone and he’s ängsty about Riku getting to be a real person. Barry changed it for a joke, hence the “Good Enough” part of “Good Enough Summary.”
Both of your Kingdom Heart videos are two of my favorite and most played videos on RUclips. They've become a comfort thing to watch for me, much like The Office or Friends are for other people. Thank you for being both thorough and hilarious. Oh, & A+ on your subtitles xD
"dosencrantz and goofenstern" is one of the jokes that makes me laugh every time i watch this despite the fact that it's not even relevant to the video
