KH has always had pretty decent voice acting, it's mainly the scenes where they need to go high with the voice that it seems like it's "bad" because putting on a voice is one thing higher octaves with said voice is another challenge that's why I'll always prefer a voice actor have their voice slightly different as long as they can perform the scene with the emotion needed
That's probably why KHII is considered the best because it has the closest thing to a happy ending. That is until Nomura revealed the truth in the later games.
I want to call particular attention to the saddest line. "Xion, who else will I have ice cream with?" Think about what this means man! They've all been told they can't feel anything their whole lives, all they know are the memories they have. "Nobodies can't feel," so what are these things they're feeling? Roxas can't describe the emotion , he's been told he shouldn't know what happiness feels like. So to him the memory of eating ice cream with Xion is happiness. What Roxas is really saying is ... "Xion, who else will make me happy?"
@@corngamez it goes a bit beyond that though, at that point in time Roxas had a falling out with Axel, so he doesn’t consider Axel to be an option at that point in time.
In a more grounded sense, that was also a part of Axel's explanation of what friendship is. People who do this and that, and eat ice cream together. So in Roxas' head : eating ice cream ~ being friends with someone.
And when he says red is the color that travels the furthest. In the end he was the last of the trio to disappear but had to watch then disappear no matter how hard he tried to keep them. That winner stick as he realizes that the consolation prize is he’s a winner for still existing but is now hollow.
@@MegaSpideymanactually Roxas out lived them he didn’t fade back into the darkness he and namine got to meet their original selves and merge back with them
1:24:14 The Organization created Xion primarily as a fail-safe in case Roxas didn't cooperate and collect hearts. Meaning they could have full control over something that can use the keyblade in that case. Keeping memories away from Sora was also a side effect of Xion's existence.
They didn't expect xion to actually work like that, they only wanted a puppet that could recreate Sora's powers, but the replicas Vexen was creating became too real, almost like a real person, but Axel eliminated him before anyone else on the organization realized this, that's why they said that no one reported a case from a replica having an identity, that basically Riku replica formed an identity on his own. Xenmas used Namine to take Sora's memories expecting to have him as his puppet to have a keyblade, however when sora wen't to sleep they already had Roxas so they didn't needed him, as long as his memories didn't go back to him he was out of the picture, when Xion begin getting Sora's memories Xenmas thought it/she was going to be even more useful than Roxas and they could get rid of him and keep Xion. But Riku stepped in and made Xion realize the truth. Sadly, Roxas never understood what happened and by the end DiZ erased his memories so he could have him on a data twilight Town where the org couldn't find him to get back Sora's memories, without Xion all Sora's memories went back to Roxas and it only took them 7 days to recollect them. Roxas lived 358 days with the org and 7 in data twilight, that's 365 only a year, and to be fair his whole existence was a misery. Xion came to be by forming an identity from Sora's memories of Kairi, so when she died all the memories anyone had from her disappeared to get every memory back into Sora. Somehow Ansem felt guilty for everything he did to bring down the org and you can see it on his reports. And damn when Xion says she'll keep the memories of them together forever... Bro...
1:08:13 Don't know if you caught it but you can hear Kairi's theme at this part, making clear there's a connection even in music. I swear kingdom hearts focuses on every detail.
This was the first game that got me into the series and I was also confused as heck on why they had Sora's memories and junk. This will always be my #1 favorite game, and I'm happy that you got experience it!
The game had a scene that explained the two keyblades, the movie left it out for some reason, here is a video. First 25 seconds or so. The reason Roxas can dual wield is because he is using his and Xion's keyblades. He transforms them into Oathkeeper and Oblivion. He transforms his keyblade into Oathkeeper, to signify his promise to her, to free kingdom hearts and her keyblade transforms into Oblivion to signify her demise. When Riku grabs Oblivion he momentarily slightly remembers her as shown in the cutscene because it was her keyblade. In the end however, him remembering is the same as trying to cup/hold water in your hands, it just slips through in the end. ruclips.net/video/Nzi8Pw8TMtI/видео.html Here is my usual reminder to unlock the 2nd secret ending to KHS 2 before starting Birth by Sleep, good luck!
That isn’t the reason he can duel wield. The true reason he can is because he had ventus heart inside of him, hence why he can use two. However the reasoning for oathkeeper and oblivion is what you said
Like I said last time, this is how much it hurts when just watching the cutscenes. Now imagine playing the game. Having to fight Xion in a 4 stage boss fight. With each stage taking place in a different world. After having completed plenty of missions with Xion and Axel as your allies. This ending straight up destroys you. There is no feeling of accomplishment at the end. There is no feeling proud. These is just sadness. And a whole lot of it. The only thing that somewhat helps at the end is that you get to play as Roxas at his absolute strongest, one-shotting some of the strongest regular enemies in the game. But even that doesn't do much to make the ending easier to deal with.
@@corngamez Roxas story in a nutshell. He is straight up one of the most tragic characters in the entire series. And can you believe that it could be argued that his tragedy isn't even top 3 material? Xion, Roxas and Axel take 4th, 5th and 6th place in my opinion when it comes to the level of tragedy they go through. But that is the thing. If Kingdom Hearts teaches one thing, it's that tragedy gives room for hope. Yes, there is a massive amount of tragedy in the series. But when things do go right for those characters, you're rooting for them. That hope results in some of the absolute best moments later in the series. Seriously, make sure you don't hurt yourself in your excitement at those moments. Because you wouldn't be the first to hit a table at full force on camera.
@@corngamez You'll see. Believe me, you'll see. And you'll know it when you see it. I'll keep my mouth shut now to make sure I don't accidentally spoil anything.
Ah yeah, the kh2 post content. Gotta do that. Right. Uuuuh man I'd love to see a stream of that, it might take some doing and I know the homies got your back with tips and everything for each boss
Glad you enjoyed 358/2 Days! It's one of my favourite stories in the series, and deserves all the love. One scene that the movie left out, which I think you'll find interesting - when Roxas leaves the Organisation, he had to fight his way through Nobodies, eventually culminating with a battle between him and Saix, who refuses to let him leave.
There’s a lot of good moments when playing in the game. Like when Roxas leaves the organization he fights nobody’s throughout his way out and at the end of the castle exit Saix is waiting for you and you have to fight him. Which felt soooooo good to mop the floor
@@corngamezI find it weird that saix don’t care for Roxas and want xion to absorb the memories he have left from him but the moment Roxas leaves he talking about they don’t accept resignations lol
When Roxas dual wields Oathkeeper and Oblivion, the keyblades are symbolic to him and Xion, she's passed into Oblivion, and he made a promise. Just like in KH1 when Kairi gave Sora her charm and made him promise to give it back to her, and he got access to Oathkeeper, and when he got access to Oblivion it was after he first beat Riku and then Ansem sent Riku into darkness . :-)
The main reason for Xion or the Replica is that they were afraid Roxas would be to close to Sora and less malleable by the darkness. So they wanted a vessel more controllable for the most part. Also, the Journal entries in 358 are genuinely worth it. Both by Roxas & other members.
Oblivion represents Sora's memories of Riku. And Oathkeeper represents Sora's memories of Kairi. Funny thing is Roxas has no idea though, to him he's just using keyblades that appeared for him.
Xion was a replica created by Vexen after the events of Chain of Memories. In the book Axel was reading in the last episode, there was information written by Vexen. Xion's real name is No. i. "i" being an imaginary number and not the number 1 as some people assume. Thats why her name is Xion, its an anagram of No. i with the letter x, like every other organization member. The reason Xion isnt remembered by anyone after she dies is because her own memories were not enough to keep her stable as a person. Her memories were completely woven with Sora's memories, so the only way to give them back were for her to disappear. Thats why before her clash with Roxas she says that Roxas had poured so many memories into her that she felt like she would overflow. Its because she cant contain her own memories and Sora's memories of Kairi at the same time. Xion is one of the best and most underrated characters in all of Kingdom Hearts and her story is the saddest in my opinion because like you said at the end of the video, Organization 13 didnt really NEED xion. They already had Roxas. Xion was created for an arbitrary reason to suit one selfish mans neex for Kingdom Hearts. In the end she ended up forming into her own person and had to give up everything she knew for the little amount of time she had to exist. Thank you so much for everything you do Corn. Cant wait for the next one! ❗♥️🗝
i’m only like 10 mins into the video but the way you are able to call back to other games and scenes is pretty incredible lol. the content you put out is better than people with 10x more subs than you man keep at it with the great vids 👍🏻can’t wait for birth by sleep !! also make sure you watch kh2 secret ending lol
Thanks my guy😁!!!!! I can't just simply record and upload I gotta make sure I PUT 100 PERCENT IN IT! Hopefully ill be big on youtube one day. Kh2 secret ending getting earned for sure
The image of Axel holding the Winner stick in silence as Kingdom Hearts looms above him is burned into my brain forever. He chose, and that was his reward. Absolutely heartbreaking.
First of all your predictions regarding Xion at the beginning of the video amazed me. I think you are the first one I saw to figure this out yourself so huge probs for that!👌🏼 Secondly I wanted to give an answer to your question at the end. I think they created Xion just because two keyblade wielders can gather hearts faster as just one. They discovered the thing with Xion absorbing Soras memories from Roxas later on by accident wich was just convenient to Xemnas. Anyways thanks for this amazing series so far. It is always such a big pleasure to see people experience and actually enjoy it and being as invested as you are. So all love to you Corn and also to all the members of the community who know how to be kind and helpful in the comment section! Iam really looking forward to everything that’s still to come!❤️
Day 359: The stolen ______! Day 360: Part time jobs and promises. Day 361: Broken Trust Day 362: Let's Struggle! Day 363: 7 Mysteries Day 364: Summer vacation... is over Day 365: Sora's awakening
I was going to answer your question regarding Xion at the end, but Marcos Munoa's comment already does so quite succinctly. Drew's comment mentions some cool bits of information as well, but I feel it might help if I clarified what they were saying a bit. There are quite a few things the cutscene collection you watched skipped out on from the game. A lot of it is character-building dialogue, but some of it is actually rather central. For instance, Saix treated Xion and Roxas far worse in the game than he does in the film, and when Roxas goes to escape the Organization's castle, Saix stands in his way, which lead to the two of them duking it out. Another thing the cutscene movie neglects to mention are a couple missions Roxas has to go on towards the end of the game where he is told to set up these strange floating devices in various worlds Sora had been to in the past. As it turns out, those machines sped up the process with which Xion was absorbing Sora's memories, while also boosting her power even further. Then, when Roxas and Xion fight, Xion actually has three other phases before her giant one, each of them teleporting both her and Roxas to everywhere those machines had been set up, as Xion drained them completely of all their power. Also, while there's no anime, a Kingdom Hearts manga series does exist. The part that covers Days even adds in a couple new scenes the game didn't have which serves to clarify some things the game didn't do the greatest job at explaining. One of those things is how, after picking her up from Axel, Xemnas begins altering Xion in a test tube. Presumably to make her more likely to take the rest of what Roxas had to give in some way. Xion ends up breaking out, however, and, knowing she has to be killed to return to Sora, and knowing that her time is running short before Xemnas's new programming takes her over, forces Roxas to defend himself against her in a fight she 100% intends to lose against him. Lastly, the reason the game is pronounced "Three Five Eight Days Over Two" is actually because the story follows two characters over the course of 358 days. 359 is technically a part of KH2 and not Days, so it's up to you whether or not it broke consistency. Haha. Either way, this was a fantastic reaction. I was really surprised at how quickly so many different plot threads clicked for you before they were ever revealed. That's pretty impressive, honestly. It was really great to hear you connected emotionally with this game, too. Anyway, thanks for all you do, and I'm super excited to see whatever you put out next! EDIT: Also, yes, please make another video reading the journal entries in Days. There are indeed two to read for every day. One from Roxas, and another from various other Organization members. They kinda serve as this game's Ansem Reports, in a way.
They also left out the scene from the game when Roxas arrives in The World That Never Was and is confronted by Neoshadows. He whips out two Kingdom Keys, crosses them over his head and they transform into Oblivion and Oathkeeper.
@@gionova1 Yeah. That's a great example of something the cutscene compilation misses out on. It also left out the incredibly heartfelt scene in Olympus Coliseum where Phil tells Roxas not to be a stanger. Or the scene in Neverland where Axel is unable to fly until Roxas asks him to trust in him, to which Axel's complete faith in Roxas allows him to fly. Or this scene in Beast's Castle: "Roxas, that's a stick." Or the moment where Xion falls unconcious and Saix tells Roxas not to worry because her failings won't affect his standings to which Roxas shouts back: "Won't affect my... What is WRONG with you!?" Or the line from Xemnas about how sleep how taken 'him' yet again. Or how the movie changed Xion's line from "I have to make the most of the time he's given me," (Which makes me think she was talking about Sora when she said that, showing the audience that she considers Sora his own person and is grateful to him for allowing her to exist,) to "I have to make the most of the time Riku's given me." (Which completely removes all that unique meaning from the line.) There are so many great moments that the movie leaves out, and it's a shame that said movie is all most people know of Days in recent years.
This game was the first game that made me cry. I love the relationship between roxas,axel and xion. It's like watching Siblings. The gameplay wasnt something to write home about but my god the story. Also do you plan on doing the kh2 secret boss and looking at the other secret ending before diving into birth by sleep? Cuz I highly recommend doing that first. Also for context on the xion fight. Xion was wearing armor and xemnas was using the machines to control xion to get roxas back. And it didn't show you but when roxas goes to stop xemnas he took xions kingdom key and he turns it into the oath keeper and turns his kingdom key into oblivion. Also it's called 358/2 days notice the 2? It means plus 2 days so it kept the continence.
The organization needs a keyblade wielder to collect hearts and create kingdom hearts. In chain of memories Marluxia and Larxene wanted to change Sora’s memories so that they could have an obedient keyblade wielder to help them take over the organization. The rest of the organization, Xemnas, wanted Sora’s power so they basically had multiple plans to see which one worked. They could make it so that Sora was obedient by changing his memories, they could just use Roxas, or they could make another replica (like riku replica) to copy and use Sora’s powers from Roxas. That’s basically the organization’s MO, they always got a back up plan.
The worst part is at 1:19:20 if you watch again, you can still see Roxas' shoulder being shook by Xion even though she isn't there anymore. Almost like she's trying to get his attention. Heart breaking
I'm envious. I wish I could erase my memories and play the Kingdom Hearts games again for the first time. Glad to see you're enjoying this magical, mindfuckery series. It's entertaining the see newcomer's reactions when they play the games. Birth By Sleep is next. Won't spoil anything but the reveals in that game are MINDBLOWING. Some scenes from KH2 and 358 are gonna make sense after you finish BBS
Xion is another successful puppet as chain of Memories Riku replica was. The capsules that sora Donald and goofy were in the beginning of kh2 were stolen from castle oblivion and moved to the abandoned mansions basement lab. Those same capsules created the copies. To copy the keyblades power, a copy of the wielder was needed. The organization knew they couldn't control Roxas, because he is Sora. Roxas would never and could never cooperate...but a puppet would. That's why Xemnas took Xion at the end of 358/2 and reprogrammed her to initiate the final battle...but Xion let Roxas win...something special made Xion not under Xemnas' conplete control...and Xion losing was part of her own plan. Read the secret journal entries. Also definitely play the game. pleaseeeee
Man i gotta say its been an honor to experience this series with you again! This game in particular solidified it👍I will say in my eyes this was the peak of the series and past this point while is fun definitely starts to detoriate in quality even the best shows / series eventually hit that point. But I hope you enjoy the rest regardless ill be watching
One of your questions is ... "Did they really need a Replica?" Yes, they needed someone they could easily control. They didn't realize one important thing though, that Axel was supposedly sent to Castle Oblivion to figure out. So this is very briefly mentioned when the organization members are talking, but Saix mentions "No one ever reported a Replica developing an identity of its own in Castle Oblivion." The purpose of a Replica was that they would solely copy the person, meaning Roxas, not develop its own will. Vexen nor Axel reported that Replica Riku developed his own personality. Which means they assumed Xion would eventually replace Roxas and be under their complete control. Xion is also not directly tied to Sora like Roxas is, which means she could lock Sora from waking up. TL;DR They needed an exact Replica without any identity that was easy to control. Roxas developed a rebellious identity that ultimately couldn't be controlled. Hopefully that clears it up! Sorry to hear ya got some messed up hate, ignore that shit man. Awesome video, loving your channel! So hyped for the rest of the journey!
Hello this was was in my recommended And I absolutely love watching people react to KINGDOM HEARTS It’s my favorite franchise ever so I’m really glad a lot of new people have been Giving it a shot over the recent years. I’ve been a KH fan since it started pretty much.😂 I remember picking up KH chain of memories for GBA when I was really young in finishing it to. I subscribed in the 1st 10 seconds of the video starting. alright sorry for the long Comment that went all over the place 😂
AYYY THANKS FOR COMING THROUGH AND I HOPE ENJOY THE VIDEOS AND THIS ONE!!!!!! Welcome to the Cobcrew and thanks for the lovley comment, I'v read longer heheeee
also one other thing I'm not sure anyone else has pointed out, you know how Xion had a thing for seashells? well if you rewatch kh2's opening at the beginning you can see a seashell that disappears after the ocean waves go over it, now I'm not sure if that is an intentional detail that connects to Xion or if it was just a coincidence, but I find it to be a cool little detail nonetheless. also another thing the writers of this story did not have to go so hard with it (although I'm glad they did :p) like it's honestly insane how this detailed story has micky, donald and goofy a part of it and how it all somehow works well together lmao
Yooo that's a crazy detail and cool one at that. I need to review this game again dude cause I know there is a lot that I missed. Dang, you just sparked something lolll!!!!
The saddest part was fighting Xion, it hurts so much. What you were fighting was Xion powered by devices Roxas placed in various worlds near the old keyhole locations to absorb remnants of Sora's power there so that way she could defeat Roxas and absorb him and become a complete second Sora. That way Sora would awaken with nothing at all to remember.
It really fascinates me how Xion was seen differently by anyone looking at her. Some say that while Roxas sees Kairi, Axel actually sees Namine. But since they have the same face, there's no change. Saix never saw her beyond a mere puppet. And as for Xigbar.... .... I think you already saw that boy too. Not in this game, of course, but you did have your eye on him for quite a few occasions... 👀
And also, as you probably know, each organisation member gets their name by combining their original name with the letter X. Once you learn Xion's true name (it's in the reports), your heart will break once again.
There is secret reports for this game too that were in the real game. They explain a lot. You can find them on the wiki. I would really love to see you react to them. If not that's fine! great watch through.
So I promise there are no other motives behind this. I was starting to search for more recent content around Kingdom Hearts today to see if there was anything trending for it because I'm a huge fan of the series and I'm battling anxiety toward making more content for it on my own channel. I came across your channel legit in the last hour and wow man, just wow. *I stopped the entirety of my search at some point just to watch your content* because I became that interested in your experience with the series and just your expressive personality. I haven't watched much of your content, but I definitely plan to now ( I subbed twice so I don't miss anything). *You've made a long time kingdom hearts fan super enthusiastic and excited today* and in such a short time have given me a bit more inspiration as a new creator to be more expressive and open about my thoughts on the games I play. I can't wait to see more of the art you put out!
Thank you so much man and I'm happy that I was able to inspire you at least a little. Go and make that content man seriously and be yourself. I hope you enjoy the journey with me cause the community is positive here. MUCH LOVE AND ILL BE WATCHING YOUR CONTENT!!!!!!
22:37 "just make an anime bruh" im pretty sure the director of KH, Tatsuya Nomura, has gone on record saying he wanted to be a Mandalay when he was younger. Kinda the reason KH is so anime like, and also why his mobile game stories are so damn GOATED. Since they release like monthly content. He truly was in his bag for those. Story wise. Frfr
Don't know if anyone mentioned it already but when you fight Roxas in kingdom hearts 2 he uses some of the attacks xion uses in their battle like the pillars of lights that you could see in this cutscene. Even though she was forgotten it shows that she was a part of him.
@CornGamez Dunno if anyone else already answered, to lazy to check every single one but here is the gist of it (as much as I can try to explain without spoiling and to make it understandable). The Replica Program, is a program to create "vessels" for hearts to connect into, basically a substitute body (sort of like planting everything that is you, into a human-like robot). Xion is one of the first prototypes created in hopes to basically copy the ability to create keyblade wielders, but instead of being a separate controllable keyblade wielder, Xion created a personality and appearance based from Sora's memories of Kairi from KH1. Vexen (aka Evan, one of Ansem the Wise's apprentices) was the lead scientist who started the program under Xemnas orders in regard to another plan that will come into play in future KH games, all I will say that no one else knew the real intentions of Xemnas, and why he wanted the Replica Program to be tested and finished. Saix of course understood something was being hidden from the rest of the Orginization, and the way he saw it was to become Xemnas right-hand man, to basically infiltrate Xemnas inner ranks to get that information with the help of his old time friend Axel (aka Lea), and to keep a certain promise he made long time ago. But Axel, during his time spending with Roxas, started to find a deep friendship, which later involved Xion, a "puppet" or "vessel" in the appearance of Sora's memories of Kairi from KH1. This of course complicated things as Axel tried to act both as a friend (to Roxas and Xion), and as an agent for Saix, his old friend. A little tidbit about that scene when Xigbar saw a "Roxas doubleganger" in Xion, was from an encounter he had when he was still 'human'. I'll just say this, keep an eye on him. Short summary: Xion was a prototype of a 'replica' that developed a personality through Sora's memories of Kairi from KH1. The Replica program was to test and perfect a way to create artificial keyblade wielders, or to simply be a vessel of someone's heart. Saix and Axel worked as sort of undercover agents for themselves while Axel strayed from it by becoming friends with Roxas and Xion. PS: Sorry for the long explanation, hope this made some clarity, love the content and keep being you my dude, also, I hope you got the link I sent you on episode 1 of 358/2. Haters gonna hate but they ain't got anything when it comes to the Corn Crew, Peace!
What you said in 1:23:30, is the beauty of the KH experience. Just when you think you’re beginning to understand, you’re hit in the head with another curve ball you didn’t see coming, which in turn leaves you unsure if you actually understand anything. But you can’t help but love it😆
Xion was an insurance policy in case Roxas ever betrays the group for some reason, someone they can control. However, the Organization didn't expect Xion to have an identity of her own. The first sign of this was the Riku who, despite knowing that he was a fake and was being controlled, still felt that he was supposed to protect Namine and in the end, he died knowing he made a choice on his own. The remaining Org members never knew that because they weren't in Castle Oblivion. Never underestimate Vexen's knowledge. Ultimately, Xion chose to end her existence to do the right thing, but it doesn't make anything happy. You should keep this Replica knowledge in mind, because it will be an important detail in the later games.
I remember first time I played this my 14yo crying at 3am on silence trying not to wake my brother sleeping next to me. I only found this game wile looking something fun to play on my Nintendo Ds and went in almost blind. But man... This game made me feel things my 14yo self was not aware of. The pain is real.
1:04:44 I believe in Japan or some kingdom Hearts store, they actually have kingdom hearts food items. One of them being Sea salt ice cream. So it's a real thing you can try!😄
Sea-salt trio best in the whole series IMO. It's splitting hairs to pick the best one cause theres so many good ones but they're definitely mine. Love your channel and reaction(s) bro. Keep it up my guy.
also another comment since i finished the video lol. the movie is great and all but it cuts out some really cool parts of the game i recommend you watch in your free time . including like at the end when roxas is leaving the castle he runs into saix before he can leave and its a boss fight. roxas bodies him of course and thats why in kh2 when you face saix at the end as sora he says only you could of made it here in one piece, roxas. also it shows roxas turning the seashell he got from xion at the end when she died into another keyblade explaining why he has two of them all of a sudden! Crazy to think they cut these parts from the movie but nonetheless great video as always!
God 52:30 is my favourite scene from 358/2 - so much so that I can recite it alongside Roxas and Axel and mirror their inflections perfectly despite my wildly different accent. Idk, that scene just feels so sadddd
So Roxas was able to wield xion blade and it became the oblivion representing her demise and Roxas blade become oathkeeper representing his strength of will to keep his promise to her. Happy you asked for clarification
@@corngamez no problem wanted to tell you live on twitch but you never asked and I hadn't seen this video yet. Also I sent you a scene on Twitter that shows the keyblades change.
If Roxas became too aware of himself and thus inadequate for the organization’s bidding, they would have Xion, a copy of him, to do their bidding for them. Only Xion got an identity of her own too (and manifested a girl face due to the strength of Sora’s memories of Kairi), hence a problem for them. The project preventing Sora from awakening was a beneficial byproduct, but likely not the original intention. Also keep in mind that two people collecting hearts for the artificial kingdom hearts was better than 1 too. However as they were depleting each other’s powers, only one with the combined power would suffice once kingdom hearts itself was near/achieved completion. Sad life. RIP
Keep. Making. Theories. Forget the ppl that get mad at you if you're wrong. That's LITERALLY the point of a theory. It's a guess based on the evidence you have, and then collecting more evidence to see if you're wrong. Really glad you loved this game. Very excited for all the content you have to get through. It's a journey and half to catch up, but you're making great progress.
Update on me starting that 100% crit run I said a few episodes back. I beat kh2 in crit, beat kh3, then a finally went back to kh2 and completed the journal. Edit When playing birth by sleep, you play through each character and you should have them saved in their own separate file. By the end, you should have 3 separate completed files
I like how he thought every other scene with the buildings was the roxas riku fight, but once the fight scene started he didn't know what it was at first. lol, nice vid man.
Shame that they didn't show Roxas lifting both his and Xion's kingdom key and turning them into oathkeeper and oblivion at the start of the world that never was.
It's been amazing how you've been figuring stuff out as you've experienced each story and really take the time to think where most people I've seen would be confused. Ignore the hate! This has been a great journey so far and I'm excited to see you play through more KH2 and eventually Birth by Sleep! BTW this game has secret reports! You can find them from the main menu! There are also some "secret" secret reports. Some of the reports will have a button prompt that brings up another report from someone else on the same day. They're insightful and definitely worth reading!! Also, WHY they needed to make a replica in the first place is never directly explained but you can infer through the story - Xion was a "plan B" of sorts in the case that Roxas deviated and left the organization. The Organization's goal was to have the Keyblade's power for themselves to complete Kingdom Hearts. So, either Roxas remains oblivious and keeps working for them, or Xion replaces him. The latter was probably their intended result since Xion was easier to control. Ironically, both Roxas and Xion became self-aware and messed up the Organization's plan in the end. Makes you wonder how this would've turned out if Vexen was sill around, since they said his death derailed the original plan a considerable degree.
21:17 "xigbar, i dont like you, and i frrl like you're gunna play a bigger role in other games" Boy oh boy... lmfaooo. Also, Xigbar is the goat damn it. 😤🤣🤣
5:44 I was waiting since the last video for this scene. You did not disappoint with the reaction. When I first saw that I had the exact same WTF face XD
@@corngamez Right? Not to mention now whenever I look at Roxas, Sora or Xion's eyes, they all have the exact same eyes it's like seeing a generation of kids fighting for their right to exist. Strange, seeing as Roxas was born when Sora gave up his body to save Kairi and Xion is Kairi as Sora remembers her, so maybe that's why Kairi has been so gimped in the games. All Kairi's character development went to Xion XD Same with Namine, though she's more like a literal Sora x Kairi child.
Blackboard time: Org13 made Xion using Sora memories as a back up/replacement to Roxas. As she interacted with Roxas she would syphon his powers and copy them. However through Roxas she began to connect to Sora and became her own person. This is a problem cuz org13 just needed a mindless puppet. Also it started to cause her to drain even more power from roxas weakening him. Rem when she lost her powers was because she wasn't around roxas as much but the longer she is the weaker he gets instead. Xemnas just needs a keyblade wielder be it roxas,.xion or sora to complete his KH. He could care less which but prefers one he can control and so far he cant control any because of how strong sora heart is.
They had no right to make "Who will I eat ice cream with" & "Only 7 days to go, and my summer vacation is over." 2 of some of the saddest lines in gaming history, like how did they achieve that???
Don't overthink the specifics of what type of Nobody she is at the end. It's her final form, that's all you need to know. It's the Final Fantasy DNA at work. By the way, I'm hella excited. Birth By Sleep is one of my favorites in the series. Also, I'm getting one of my friends into the series. I'm gonna watch him play, I wanna be there for it. All he knows is this is my favorite game series and there are Disney characters. I haven't picked what moment in which game, but at some point I'm just going to casually be like "By the way, did I mention this franchise is nothing but pain?" It has to be early enough in the series. I was thinking Day 357 of Days but I don't want to wait too long. Maybe the title card of KH2 when Roxas says "Sora, you're lucky. Looks like my summer vacation is... over."
Bro, you have to get the super secret ending in KH2 before moving on to the next playable KH game. I'm in the middle of this video so I don't know if you mention this in the video but I just wanted to mention that. Loving the video so far, doe.
if you get around to it i definitely recommend playing the ds game , the cutscene movie leaves out soooo many huge moments in the game and you miss out on some hilarious dialogue exchanges between the organization members , seriously the game may have kh1 tier gameplay but the writing for the game is amazing , even better than for the movie
The quote by Riku isn’t incorrect. You have to remember that her very existence harms the existence of two other people. It can’t just be about her anymore.
She didn't turn into anything it was poorly explained in the movie but the games show that she was using organisation magic items to keep transforming herself.
Daaang starting off the video strong with dance right off tha bat hahaha! KH music is fire it's hard not too! Lets get into this! I just know this ones gonna hurt bro 🗝️Just putting this up here so it's easy to see. But before moving on to the next game there are two things you might want to do. Remember how you can read Roxas' Dairy? Well now that you've finished the game you should go back and check that out. On some of the entries there should be a button you can press that will show you other things to read. These are plot important and are this games equivalant to the ansem reports. So definetly check those out! You may also want to view the ending locked behind finishing all the post game content before moving on as you should definetly watch that before playing Birth By Sleep. Just wanted to let you know!🗝️ 1:00 Damn scary Corn is back lmao But that's true haters can leave right out that door 3:24 Yep that was Vexen's doing. The Replica Program was mostly his doing. Love these theories as always. 4:10 I see nothing lol 4:34 Oh god I almost forgot where we left off this scene is really the start of the pain this game has to offer 5:58 I hate that you can tell that Axel is putting on a front during this scene. He's acting a lot closer to the way he did in Re:Chain. It just hurts knowing that in reality he's a pretty nice guy, but the organization makes him be this weird detatched assasin type. 7:35 I love this reveal. We don't know how they know eachother but if it was in question before now we know somethign was going on with them. 8:28 I love this scene too. I really enjoy that we keep going back to it over the course of KH1 through KH2 and even see it multiple times in Days. And we see more of it each time. And the context of knowing that this is pretty soon after the fight with Sora in KH1 is just so crazy. Knowing how long Xemnas has had his eyes on Sora. 10:32 That's the best feeling! When you think to yourself "Oh maybe this is what's up?" and then it all falls into place! Great job! 11:25 I think What Xemnas is saying is that the original plan was to have Xion be a Keyblade wielder with no sense of self. Having the power to wield the Keyblade given to her by Roxas. That way they'd have a Keyblade wielder that would always follow orders. One that could not fight back, because there would be no thought beyond following orders. However Sora affected her in a way that allowed her to become a person with her own thoughts and wants. Just like how they wanted to make Sora into an unthinking Keyblade wielder. However in that case he was already a person so they'd need to give him a reason to fight. That's why they wanted to use Namine to make Sora think that Namine was the most important person to him. That way anything they needed him to do could be excused as protecting Namine. 12:39 And keep in mind that what happens between Roxas and Xion now is the orginal plan. One that involves Xion and Roxas fighting leaving only one. And it seems pretty clear who Xemnas wanted to win that fight. This hasn't happened yet by this timestamp but I know you've already finished watching so it should be fine. 13:35 You're so right! This game gets the feeling of a having a friendship strained to it's maximum down really well. It's heavy for real. They all want this to keep happening. They want to be friends and hang out and go to the beach one day. But their destinies, as controlled by Xemnas, have strained their friendship to a near breaking point. And I feel bad Roxas he doesn't even really know what's going on his friends just started fighting out of nowhere in his eyes. 15:42 Something to keep in mind going forward I suppose. We know later on in KH2 that he gets his own Keyblade but how is it that he managed to take Sora's Keyblade way back when. 18:53 He really just wants his friends to be safe bruh T^T 20:10 Yea the intention was to have her be more of a Replica for Roxas than of Sora. But it's more that she was meant to be a blank Replica that just took Roxas' powers not identity. Remember that the Riku Replica acted like Riku even before being brainwashed into thinking that he actually WAS Riku. Xion on the other hand was never meant to gain any attributes other than the ability to wield the Keyblade. At least that's what I understand to be happening. 21:04 haha Yea Xigbar really does love to stir the pot it seems. I love him but not because he's a nice guy or anything just like him as a villain 22:24 Right? I'd watch the heck out of a Kingdom Hearts anime, anything show wise really. I think there were rumors of a KH show coming to Disney+ but nothing has surfaced regarding that in quite some time. 22:58 I don't think I've mentioned this yet but you visit Neverland in this game but unlike in KH1 you actually go to Neverland instead of just being on a pirate ship and then being in London. 25:04 It's easy to get wrapped up in the plot we get it! And no worries better that you understand what's going on for sure haha Xion's whole story really is sad. All she wants to do is be with her friends and keep living. But at every turn something or someone was there to manipulate her into living out that fate. It's so rough, especially knowing that she needs to go away to wake Sora up. She was just forced into a position with no options. 31:50 The emotion this game give me! It's brutal man. This game is capital S Sad. The first time I played it I remember holding my DS just crying. I may have looked a little goofy from the outside but that needed to get out of me XD 33:23 That's a healthy way of handling it. Bottling that stuff up does not work in the long run at all 34:20 I'm not saying anything about it but you should maybe keep this cutscene in mind going forward into the series 34:38 The confusion is priceless XD That's Kingdom Hearts for you. It's story is always a few steps ahead to keep you on your toes 41:38 You called it! Nice job! 42:16 This means that when Axel came back from Re:Chain he didn't tell them about the Riku Replica who could be argued to have acquired his own identity. In fact Axel pushed him to seek out his own power. 43:42 Luxord is saying that it would've been nice to know about Xion. Luxord, Xaldin, and Demyx all didn't know about Xion. I imagine that have they lived through Re:Chain Zexion, Lexaeus, Marluxia, and Larxene wouldn't have been told either. The plan was to be kept between Xemnas, Vexen, Saix, and potentially Xigbar. Axel was able to learn the truth from Siax seeing as they were working together towards some goal behind the scenes. And of course Roxas was never menat to find out at all. It means that Xemnas keeps secrets from the rest of the Organization. 44:33 Right? It looks so cool! Unfortunatly edit Corn was having none of that today XD 45:55 You really said "Hold that thought! Mickey has entered the game!" lol It's always cool to see Mickey tho I don't blame you 52:12 Yea the rooms are so barren. Devoid of life. The only things the organization members have are there weapons, and things related to their jobs. Luxord is able to carry around cards and dice, he clearly has an affinity for games but these aren't just for his hobby he has them because that can be used for the organization. Demyx has his Sitar something he clearly enjoys, but once again most likely only has it because of it's usefulness to the organization. This whole place is a real bummer. No wonder Roxas, Xion, and Axel all hang out in Twilight Town. The whole situation is just so steep. Everyone's lives are on the line. Not just living or not living but the very idea of who they are. It's like walking on eggshells since no matter what they do someone get hurts. If they run, or if they stay. If Xion goes back to Sora, or stays with Roxas and Axel. The deck has been stacked for them in such a way that no matter what people will get hurt. 58:51 Since you're already done with Days I don't think it's a huge deal to tell you. Xion's face (the one with black hair) can be seen by people who see her as her own person. It may be Sora's memories that gave her a face at all (hence her looking similar to Kairi) but that face is what people saw when they began to see her as her own. Remember the cutscene where the hood kept going up and down on top of the clock tower in Twilight Town? Well what was happening was that Roxas could see her but Axel who had yet to befriend her saw nothing. Meanwhile others like Xigbar saw yet another face, just who that face belongs to is something you'll have to find out by yourself.
1:02:00 Dang this whole upcoming scene hurts just thinking about it 1:06:20 Starting here is the DLC cutscene originally it just skipped to after the fight. 1:07:27 This is not a Heartless it's simply Xion's final form. This is probably close to what the Orginzation wanted. Just using the power of the Keyblade, that she had gained from Roxas and Sora, to the fullest. Think of it sort of like a Drive Form, although obviously very different. Notice that she uses pillars of pure light to attack. That's something Heartless can't do being creatures of Darkness. She also uses other light attacks during her boss fight if I remember correctly. It doesn't show it here but remember how Siax and Xemnas metioned earlier that they were going to set up machines. Well you go through missions setting those up as Roxas and you end up fighting Xion in all the locations you put machines in. Just various Disney worlds but I remember that being pretty cool. 1:10:02 Xion was intending to go with Namine and DiZ to Sora and just renter Sora's memories there. However Axel found her and brought her back just barely. By that time Xion knew that it was too late. The only way to release the memories inside her now would be to fight and lose to Roxas. 'Who else will I have Ice Cream with?" Always gets me. That's all they really wanted just to be able to spend time with eachother hanging out. They even all still worked for the Organization. They did everything they were supposed to and they still had them do this to eachother. 1:12:35 Some of these games really do feel like that. Kingdom Hearts has always loved sad/bittersweet endings. The very first game ended with Sora, Riku, and Kairi being split up again. Kh2 managed to squeak in a happy ending though so that's something. Kingdom Hearts really is all about being able to feel your emotions. To understand that those feelings no matter what they are are justified. And not just the easy ones like happiness, but sadness, and anger too. 1:13:38 I think now's a good time to bring up Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Remember how I told you that they represent Sora's connection to Riku and Kairi. Well this game makes it pretty clear that Roxas uses them as a representation of his connection with Axel and Xion. This trio in many ways reflects the Destiny trio (a fan name for Sora, Riku, and Kairi). Roxas is Sora, that one's easy Roxas is his Nobody. Axel is Riku, he's easily the darkest of the three. He continues to work for the Organization for awhile and had already been working for them before the other two were born, speaking of that he's the oldest which I'm pretty sure is true of Riku as well. Xion then is Kairi, not only does she contain within her Sora's memories of Kairi. Her character is associated with seashells. ANd those shells are something that Roxas and Xion shared with eachother when the other was asleep for days on end. The shells represent the fact that they care for eachother just like how Kairi made her good luck charm out of seashells and gave it to Sora. 1:14:19 This is another one of those scenes that they've gone back to and added onto just like the scene between Xemnas and Roxas at the Dark Margin. This is why Riku catches the keyblade but doesn't swing at first, we just didn't get to know the full context until now. 1:16:10 You actually have a boss fight against Riku here in the game. He's the last boss of the game. 1:19:54 Ooooo I want to box DiZ so bad after that line! Especially after all of this game! I really enjoy Chain of Memories but I think I could safely say that I enjoyed this game more. And I know you didn't "play" it but I think I enjoyed the actually game more too. I love card games but there are too many things holding it back gameplay wise. On the other hand 358/2 Days gaemplay was actually really fun and a lot closer to the "mainline" games. Plus if you had friends back in the day there was TONS of multiplayer missions to play through. Story wise I like them both a lot. But this story is really touching it's kind of hard for me to compare in that way. But you're def right in saying that this game was fire. Damn you getting racist comments? That sucks dude, guess I shouldn't be too surprised but that's some bull. You've been nothing but postive and all you've been doing is making fire content. Sorry you have to deal with that. But I'm glad you've got some good fans too! 900 of them! Congrats on that btw! Well that's another great video in the bag! Can't wait for whatever comes next! And I'll see you again whenever! Have a good one!
I had to split this comment in too for whatever reason youtube was giving me a "return error" whenever I tried to send it. Guess it was too long whoops lol
So yeah, the reason that we kept seeing Xion's hood go back and forth between off and on the first time she sat with Roxas and Axel is because we were seeing both of their perspectives. When Roxas looked at her, he could see her face. But Axel wasn't able to see her face until he said she was his friend. That's why he kept seeing her with the hood up. Also who tf was saying racist stuff to you over this series? That shit is ridiculous. I'm glad you didn't let them ruin the experience for you.
I didn’t know you had went through racist comments from haters. I’m mixed myself, that ain’t right. Sorry you went through that. And thanks for keeping with the series.

I think the Axel scene pleading with/yelling at Xion is the best bit of voice acting in the entire franchise.
That or Roxas’s “I hardly know who I am! What is so wrong with wanting some answers?!”
KH has always had pretty decent voice acting, it's mainly the scenes where they need to go high with the voice that it seems like it's "bad" because putting on a voice is one thing higher octaves with said voice is another challenge that's why I'll always prefer a voice actor have their voice slightly different as long as they can perform the scene with the emotion needed
"Kingdom Hearts will never allow me to have happiness."
I felt that.
That's probably why KHII is considered the best because it has the closest thing to a happy ending. That is until Nomura revealed the truth in the later games.
Mann....this game really did hurt
@@corngamez
You still have so much more to see. Just be prepared.
@@corngamez told you the saddest kingdom hearts game axel xion and roxas are gone.
@@LovesMJ4ever oh no....
I want to call particular attention to the saddest line.
"Xion, who else will I have ice cream with?"
Think about what this means man! They've all been told they can't feel anything their whole lives, all they know are the memories they have. "Nobodies can't feel," so what are these things they're feeling? Roxas can't describe the emotion , he's been told he shouldn't know what happiness feels like. So to him the memory of eating ice cream with Xion is happiness. What Roxas is really saying is ...
"Xion, who else will make me happy?"
I know right? with that you killed me! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
FIRE ANOLOGY!!!!!!
@@corngamez it goes a bit beyond that though, at that point in time Roxas had a falling out with Axel, so he doesn’t consider Axel to be an option at that point in time.
In a more grounded sense, that was also a part of Axel's explanation of what friendship is. People who do this and that, and eat ice cream together.
So in Roxas' head : eating ice cream ~ being friends with someone.
Dude stop I'm crying in public now
when axel gets the winner stick the irony axel feels anything but a winner.
Dawg....
And when he says red is the color that travels the furthest. In the end he was the last of the trio to disappear but had to watch then disappear no matter how hard he tried to keep them. That winner stick as he realizes that the consolation prize is he’s a winner for still existing but is now hollow.
when axel said red travels the farest meaning he out lived xion and roxas so sad.
Damn that hits hard 💔
Never thought of it that way.
@@MegaSpideymanactually Roxas out lived them he didn’t fade back into the darkness he and namine got to meet their original selves and merge back with them
When it took me almost a decade to realize that... 😳
(Also proceeds to hug Axel who didn't have it easy at all.)
1:24:14 The Organization created Xion primarily as a fail-safe in case Roxas didn't cooperate and collect hearts. Meaning they could have full control over something that can use the keyblade in that case. Keeping memories away from Sora was also a side effect of Xion's existence.
This makes alot sense thank you!!!!
They didn't expect xion to actually work like that, they only wanted a puppet that could recreate Sora's powers, but the replicas Vexen was creating became too real, almost like a real person, but Axel eliminated him before anyone else on the organization realized this, that's why they said that no one reported a case from a replica having an identity, that basically Riku replica formed an identity on his own.
Xenmas used Namine to take Sora's memories expecting to have him as his puppet to have a keyblade, however when sora wen't to sleep they already had Roxas so they didn't needed him, as long as his memories didn't go back to him he was out of the picture, when Xion begin getting Sora's memories Xenmas thought it/she was going to be even more useful than Roxas and they could get rid of him and keep Xion. But Riku stepped in and made Xion realize the truth.
Sadly, Roxas never understood what happened and by the end DiZ erased his memories so he could have him on a data twilight Town where the org couldn't find him to get back Sora's memories, without Xion all Sora's memories went back to Roxas and it only took them 7 days to recollect them.
Roxas lived 358 days with the org and 7 in data twilight, that's 365 only a year, and to be fair his whole existence was a misery.
Xion came to be by forming an identity from Sora's memories of Kairi, so when she died all the memories anyone had from her disappeared to get every memory back into Sora.
Somehow Ansem felt guilty for everything he did to bring down the org and you can see it on his reports.
And damn when Xion says she'll keep the memories of them together forever... Bro...
FIRE EXPLANATION!!!!!!
1:08:13
Don't know if you caught it but you can hear Kairi's theme at this part, making clear there's a connection even in music. I swear kingdom hearts focuses on every detail.
T R U E oh dang
Xion’s death was unbearable to contain. This is indeed the saddest part in the game. No matter how many times I watch it, I always cry. 😢
IM CRYING WITH YOU!!!!
This was the first game that got me into the series and I was also confused as heck on why they had Sora's memories and junk. This will always be my #1 favorite game, and I'm happy that you got experience it!
Man and I'm happy I did too. Thank you for watching!!!!
Was my first kh game too man...!! What a journey
The game had a scene that explained the two keyblades, the movie left it out for some reason, here is a video. First 25 seconds or so.
The reason Roxas can dual wield is because he is using his and Xion's keyblades. He transforms them into Oathkeeper and Oblivion. He transforms his keyblade into Oathkeeper, to signify his promise to her, to free kingdom hearts and her keyblade transforms into Oblivion to signify her demise. When Riku grabs Oblivion he momentarily slightly remembers her as shown in the cutscene because it was her keyblade. In the end however, him remembering is the same as trying to cup/hold water in your hands, it just slips through in the end.
ruclips.net/video/Nzi8Pw8TMtI/видео.html
Here is my usual reminder to unlock the 2nd secret ending to KHS 2 before starting Birth by Sleep, good luck!
WHY WOULD THEY LEAVE IT OUT???!!!! Thats real cool tho thank you
I never realized this, dope!
That isn’t the reason he can duel wield. The true reason he can is because he had ventus heart inside of him, hence why he can use two. However the reasoning for oathkeeper and oblivion is what you said
@@jamrah8713cap he had ventus heart the whole time and couldn’t before xion was created
Like I said last time, this is how much it hurts when just watching the cutscenes. Now imagine playing the game. Having to fight Xion in a 4 stage boss fight. With each stage taking place in a different world. After having completed plenty of missions with Xion and Axel as your allies. This ending straight up destroys you. There is no feeling of accomplishment at the end. There is no feeling proud. These is just sadness. And a whole lot of it. The only thing that somewhat helps at the end is that you get to play as Roxas at his absolute strongest, one-shotting some of the strongest regular enemies in the game. But even that doesn't do much to make the ending easier to deal with.
Dang man thiss game was straight up sadness. Thats why I was gon be like yeah roxas won but like to what end.....depression
@@corngamez Roxas story in a nutshell. He is straight up one of the most tragic characters in the entire series. And can you believe that it could be argued that his tragedy isn't even top 3 material? Xion, Roxas and Axel take 4th, 5th and 6th place in my opinion when it comes to the level of tragedy they go through.
But that is the thing. If Kingdom Hearts teaches one thing, it's that tragedy gives room for hope. Yes, there is a massive amount of tragedy in the series. But when things do go right for those characters, you're rooting for them. That hope results in some of the absolute best moments later in the series. Seriously, make sure you don't hurt yourself in your excitement at those moments. Because you wouldn't be the first to hit a table at full force on camera.
@@rendomstranger8698 Oh dang fr lol thats wild. What could be more painful than Roxas lol
@@corngamez You'll see. Believe me, you'll see. And you'll know it when you see it. I'll keep my mouth shut now to make sure I don't accidentally spoil anything.
It's not all tragedy. The boss right before Xion was cathartic as fuck, only to lead into sadness when you fight her.
THAT AXEL SCENE HURT DAWG OH MY FREAKING GOD!!!!!!! HAPPPPPYYYY 900!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yo it's BBS time! That game has some tough secret bosses, some of the hardest in the series. Also MYSTERIES WILL BE REVEALED
Yeah man! That scene between Axel and Xion is honestly one of the best scenes in the series. Love it so much!
@@Proto-Blues Not time yet Corn still gotta get that secret ending before BBS.
Ah yeah, the kh2 post content. Gotta do that. Right. Uuuuh man I'd love to see a stream of that, it might take some doing and I know the homies got your back with tips and everything for each boss
Yoooo! 🎉 Congratssss on the 900.
So close to the 1k it's insane.
You deserve it! Thanks for the great content!
#COBCREW
Glad you enjoyed 358/2 Days! It's one of my favourite stories in the series, and deserves all the love. One scene that the movie left out, which I think you'll find interesting - when Roxas leaves the Organisation, he had to fight his way through Nobodies, eventually culminating with a battle between him and Saix, who refuses to let him leave.
Ohhh really dang???? They left alot of nice stuff out of this one
There’s a lot of good moments when playing in the game. Like when Roxas leaves the organization he fights nobody’s throughout his way out and at the end of the castle exit Saix is waiting for you and you have to fight him. Which felt soooooo good to mop the floor
Yoooo I wish I could have seen those moments man!!!
@@corngamezI find it weird that saix don’t care for Roxas and want xion to absorb the memories he have left from him but the moment Roxas leaves he talking about they don’t accept resignations lol
"Who else in i gunna have ice cream with" saddest line in video game history.
golly =(
When Roxas dual wields Oathkeeper and Oblivion, the keyblades are symbolic to him and Xion, she's passed into Oblivion, and he made a promise. Just like in KH1 when Kairi gave Sora her charm and made him promise to give it back to her, and he got access to Oathkeeper, and when he got access to Oblivion it was after he first beat Riku and then Ansem sent Riku into darkness . :-)
The main reason for Xion or the Replica is that they were afraid Roxas would be to close to Sora and less malleable by the darkness.
So they wanted a vessel more controllable for the most part.
Also, the Journal entries in 358 are genuinely worth it.
Both by Roxas & other members.
Oblivion represents Sora's memories of Riku.
And Oathkeeper represents Sora's memories of Kairi.
Funny thing is Roxas has no idea though, to him he's just using keyblades that appeared for him.
It’s still can be applied to Roxas, an Namine was the girl he promised to reunite with, and Xion was the girl he was forced to forget
Xion was a replica created by Vexen after the events of Chain of Memories. In the book Axel was reading in the last episode, there was information written by Vexen. Xion's real name is No. i. "i" being an imaginary number and not the number 1 as some people assume.
Thats why her name is Xion, its an anagram of No. i with the letter x, like every other organization member.
The reason Xion isnt remembered by anyone after she dies is because her own memories were not enough to keep her stable as a person. Her memories were completely woven with Sora's memories, so the only way to give them back were for her to disappear. Thats why before her clash with Roxas she says that Roxas had poured so many memories into her that she felt like she would overflow. Its because she cant contain her own memories and Sora's memories of Kairi at the same time.
Xion is one of the best and most underrated characters in all of Kingdom Hearts and her story is the saddest in my opinion because like you said at the end of the video, Organization 13 didnt really NEED xion. They already had Roxas. Xion was created for an arbitrary reason to suit one selfish mans neex for Kingdom Hearts. In the end she ended up forming into her own person and had to give up everything she knew for the little amount of time she had to exist.
Thank you so much for everything you do Corn. Cant wait for the next one! ❗♥️🗝
“Perhaps, if he met Sora…”
“Things would have been different…”
And they did…
It was around the end of their births by sleep
i’m only like 10 mins into the video but the way you are able to call back to other games and scenes is pretty incredible lol. the content you put out is better than people with 10x more subs than you man keep at it with the great vids 👍🏻can’t wait for birth by sleep !! also make sure you watch kh2 secret ending lol
True his intros amaze me every time!
I wish I had his talent 8 years ago when I made videos myself.
@@TimmysohnLP YOU CAN STILL MAKE THEM GO FOR IT!!!!!!
Thanks my guy😁!!!!! I can't just simply record and upload I gotta make sure I PUT 100 PERCENT IN IT! Hopefully ill be big on youtube one day. Kh2 secret ending getting earned for sure
The image of Axel holding the Winner stick in silence as Kingdom Hearts looms above him is burned into my brain forever. He chose, and that was his reward. Absolutely heartbreaking.

this is a very important cutscene. i suggest watching it again once you finish birth by sleep. it might make more sense to you then.
First of all your predictions regarding Xion at the beginning of the video amazed me. I think you are the first one I saw to figure this out yourself so huge probs for that!👌🏼
Secondly I wanted to give an answer to your question at the end. I think they created Xion just because two keyblade wielders can gather hearts faster as just one. They discovered the thing with Xion absorbing Soras memories from Roxas later on by accident wich was just convenient to Xemnas.
Anyways thanks for this amazing series so far. It is always such a big pleasure to see people experience and actually enjoy it and being as invested as you are.
So all love to you Corn and also to all the members of the community who know how to be kind and helpful in the comment section!
Iam really looking forward to everything that’s still to come!❤️
Day 359: The stolen ______!
Day 360: Part time jobs and promises.
Day 361: Broken Trust
Day 362: Let's Struggle!
Day 363: 7 Mysteries
Day 364: Summer vacation... is over
Day 365: Sora's awakening
Very nicely done. I was wondering what you were doing.
Roxas "maybe we can finally hit the beach". So sad man he never gets to traverse town beach
Least they did let him go in kh3
i cry everytime time so sad and beautiful.
18:47 this a “my homie argued with my girl” kinda vibe
LOLL
I was going to answer your question regarding Xion at the end, but Marcos Munoa's comment already does so quite succinctly. Drew's comment mentions some cool bits of information as well, but I feel it might help if I clarified what they were saying a bit. There are quite a few things the cutscene collection you watched skipped out on from the game. A lot of it is character-building dialogue, but some of it is actually rather central. For instance, Saix treated Xion and Roxas far worse in the game than he does in the film, and when Roxas goes to escape the Organization's castle, Saix stands in his way, which lead to the two of them duking it out.
Another thing the cutscene movie neglects to mention are a couple missions Roxas has to go on towards the end of the game where he is told to set up these strange floating devices in various worlds Sora had been to in the past. As it turns out, those machines sped up the process with which Xion was absorbing Sora's memories, while also boosting her power even further. Then, when Roxas and Xion fight, Xion actually has three other phases before her giant one, each of them teleporting both her and Roxas to everywhere those machines had been set up, as Xion drained them completely of all their power.
Also, while there's no anime, a Kingdom Hearts manga series does exist. The part that covers Days even adds in a couple new scenes the game didn't have which serves to clarify some things the game didn't do the greatest job at explaining. One of those things is how, after picking her up from Axel, Xemnas begins altering Xion in a test tube. Presumably to make her more likely to take the rest of what Roxas had to give in some way. Xion ends up breaking out, however, and, knowing she has to be killed to return to Sora, and knowing that her time is running short before Xemnas's new programming takes her over, forces Roxas to defend himself against her in a fight she 100% intends to lose against him.
Lastly, the reason the game is pronounced "Three Five Eight Days Over Two" is actually because the story follows two characters over the course of 358 days. 359 is technically a part of KH2 and not Days, so it's up to you whether or not it broke consistency. Haha. Either way, this was a fantastic reaction. I was really surprised at how quickly so many different plot threads clicked for you before they were ever revealed. That's pretty impressive, honestly. It was really great to hear you connected emotionally with this game, too. Anyway, thanks for all you do, and I'm super excited to see whatever you put out next!
EDIT: Also, yes, please make another video reading the journal entries in Days. There are indeed two to read for every day. One from Roxas, and another from various other Organization members. They kinda serve as this game's Ansem Reports, in a way.
They also left out the scene from the game when Roxas arrives in The World That Never Was and is confronted by Neoshadows. He whips out two Kingdom Keys, crosses them over his head and they transform into Oblivion and Oathkeeper.
@@gionova1
Yeah. That's a great example of something the cutscene compilation misses out on. It also left out the incredibly heartfelt scene in Olympus Coliseum where Phil tells Roxas not to be a stanger. Or the scene in Neverland where Axel is unable to fly until Roxas asks him to trust in him, to which Axel's complete faith in Roxas allows him to fly. Or this scene in Beast's Castle: "Roxas, that's a stick." Or the moment where Xion falls unconcious and Saix tells Roxas not to worry because her failings won't affect his standings to which Roxas shouts back: "Won't affect my... What is WRONG with you!?" Or the line from Xemnas about how sleep how taken 'him' yet again.
Or how the movie changed Xion's line from "I have to make the most of the time he's given me," (Which makes me think she was talking about Sora when she said that, showing the audience that she considers Sora his own person and is grateful to him for allowing her to exist,) to "I have to make the most of the time Riku's given me." (Which completely removes all that unique meaning from the line.) There are so many great moments that the movie leaves out, and it's a shame that said movie is all most people know of Days in recent years.
Bro you're so underrated😭 keep up the grind you finna get some where
MAnnnnn let this algorithim bless me please. Thank you!!!!
This game was the first game that made me cry. I love the relationship between roxas,axel and xion. It's like watching Siblings. The gameplay wasnt something to write home about but my god the story. Also do you plan on doing the kh2 secret boss and looking at the other secret ending before diving into birth by sleep? Cuz I highly recommend doing that first. Also for context on the xion fight. Xion was wearing armor and xemnas was using the machines to control xion to get roxas back. And it didn't show you but when roxas goes to stop xemnas he took xions kingdom key and he turns it into the oath keeper and turns his kingdom key into oblivion. Also it's called 358/2 days notice the 2? It means plus 2 days so it kept the continence.
Yeah Im definetly going to finish kh2 stuff so I can get that ending.
The organization needs a keyblade wielder to collect hearts and create kingdom hearts. In chain of memories Marluxia and Larxene wanted to change Sora’s memories so that they could have an obedient keyblade wielder to help them take over the organization. The rest of the organization, Xemnas, wanted Sora’s power so they basically had multiple plans to see which one worked. They could make it so that Sora was obedient by changing his memories, they could just use Roxas, or they could make another replica (like riku replica) to copy and use Sora’s powers from Roxas. That’s basically the organization’s MO, they always got a back up plan.
The worst part is at 1:19:20 if you watch again, you can still see Roxas' shoulder being shook by Xion even though she isn't there anymore. Almost like she's trying to get his attention. Heart breaking
That line from xion and roxas about remembering those moments forever hit different when you get the full context of how their story ended.
The look of confusion on Corn face with the xigbar vs xion scene was priceless
I like that Roxas started dual wielding with Xion's Keyblade.
I'm envious. I wish I could erase my memories and play the Kingdom Hearts games again for the first time. Glad to see you're enjoying this magical, mindfuckery series. It's entertaining the see newcomer's reactions when they play the games. Birth By Sleep is next. Won't spoil anything but the reveals in that game are MINDBLOWING. Some scenes from KH2 and 358 are gonna make sense after you finish BBS
Xion is another successful puppet as chain of Memories Riku replica was. The capsules that sora Donald and goofy were in the beginning of kh2 were stolen from castle oblivion and moved to the abandoned mansions basement lab. Those same capsules created the copies.
To copy the keyblades power, a copy of the wielder was needed. The organization knew they couldn't control Roxas, because he is Sora. Roxas would never and could never cooperate...but a puppet would. That's why Xemnas took Xion at the end of 358/2 and reprogrammed her to initiate the final battle...but Xion let Roxas win...something special made Xion not under Xemnas' conplete control...and Xion losing was part of her own plan. Read the secret journal entries.
Also definitely play the game. pleaseeeee
Man i gotta say its been an honor to experience this series with you again! This game in particular solidified it👍I will say in my eyes this was the peak of the series and past this point while is fun definitely starts to detoriate in quality even the best shows / series eventually hit that point. But I hope you enjoy the rest regardless ill be watching
Thank you so much man!!!!
Been binging your playthrough I’ve been really loving it , don’t let the haters get to you
I love the way the KH series has been expanding dramatically over the past few years!!! 💙
One of your questions is ...
"Did they really need a Replica?"
Yes, they needed someone they could easily control.
They didn't realize one important thing though, that Axel was supposedly sent to Castle Oblivion to figure out. So this is very briefly mentioned when the organization members are talking, but Saix mentions "No one ever reported a Replica developing an identity of its own in Castle Oblivion." The purpose of a Replica was that they would solely copy the person, meaning Roxas, not develop its own will. Vexen nor Axel reported that Replica Riku developed his own personality. Which means they assumed Xion would eventually replace Roxas and be under their complete control. Xion is also not directly tied to Sora like Roxas is, which means she could lock Sora from waking up.
TL;DR They needed an exact Replica without any identity that was easy to control. Roxas developed a rebellious identity that ultimately couldn't be controlled.
Hopefully that clears it up! Sorry to hear ya got some messed up hate, ignore that shit man. Awesome video, loving your channel! So hyped for the rest of the journey!
ohhhhh I seeeeee
Hello this was was in my recommended
And I absolutely love watching people react to KINGDOM HEARTS
It’s my favorite franchise ever so I’m really glad a lot of new people have been Giving it a shot over the recent years.
I’ve been a KH fan since it started pretty much.😂 I remember picking up KH chain of memories for GBA when I was really young in finishing it to.
I subscribed in the 1st 10 seconds of the video starting. alright sorry for the long
Comment that went all over the place 😂
You definitely have to check his other KH videos out!
@@TimmysohnLP ohh! I plan to my friend!
I’m still watching this 1 as I speak.
I’m gonna start at the beginning and watch my way up!!😄
@@TimmysohnLP heheeee we have another COBCREW MEMBER!!!!
AYYY THANKS FOR COMING THROUGH AND I HOPE ENJOY THE VIDEOS AND THIS ONE!!!!!! Welcome to the Cobcrew and thanks for the lovley comment, I'v read longer heheeee
@@corngamez my pleasure I’m glad your enjoying Kingdom Hearts a lot it’s really fun to watch !🍁
I wish this game got an actual HD remaster that you could play, I would have loved to play the riku boss fight in hd.
The extra scene was where Roxas fought Xion at the end, so you didn't really miss anything.
Only thing left is the Reports in the main menu
Ahhh Oki coo. Had to be sure, thank you
also one other thing I'm not sure anyone else has pointed out, you know how Xion had a thing for seashells? well if you rewatch kh2's opening at the beginning you can see a seashell that disappears after the ocean waves go over it, now I'm not sure if that is an intentional detail that connects to Xion or if it was just a coincidence, but I find it to be a cool little detail nonetheless.
also another thing the writers of this story did not have to go so hard with it (although I'm glad they did :p) like it's honestly insane how this detailed story has micky, donald and goofy a part of it and how it all somehow works well together lmao
Yooo that's a crazy detail and cool one at that. I need to review this game again dude cause I know there is a lot that I missed. Dang, you just sparked something lolll!!!!
The saddest part was fighting Xion, it hurts so much. What you were fighting was Xion powered by devices Roxas placed in various worlds near the old keyhole locations to absorb remnants of Sora's power there so that way she could defeat Roxas and absorb him and become a complete second Sora. That way Sora would awaken with nothing at all to remember.
It really fascinates me how Xion was seen differently by anyone looking at her. Some say that while Roxas sees Kairi, Axel actually sees Namine. But since they have the same face, there's no change.
Saix never saw her beyond a mere puppet.
And as for Xigbar.... .... I think you already saw that boy too. Not in this game, of course, but you did have your eye on him for quite a few occasions... 👀
And also, as you probably know, each organisation member gets their name by combining their original name with the letter X.
Once you learn Xion's true name (it's in the reports), your heart will break once again.
@@thinkabout42 brioooo i did learn her true name and man and that was absolutly heart breaking
There is secret reports for this game too that were in the real game. They explain a lot. You can find them on the wiki. I would really love to see you react to them. If not that's fine! great watch through.
So I promise there are no other motives behind this. I was starting to search for more recent content around Kingdom Hearts today to see if there was anything trending for it because I'm a huge fan of the series and I'm battling anxiety toward making more content for it on my own channel. I came across your channel legit in the last hour and wow man, just wow.
*I stopped the entirety of my search at some point just to watch your content* because I became that interested in your experience with the series and just your expressive personality. I haven't watched much of your content, but I definitely plan to now ( I subbed twice so I don't miss anything). *You've made a long time kingdom hearts fan super enthusiastic and excited today* and in such a short time have given me a bit more inspiration as a new creator to be more expressive and open about my thoughts on the games I play. I can't wait to see more of the art you put out!
Thank you so much man and I'm happy that I was able to inspire you at least a little. Go and make that content man seriously and be yourself. I hope you enjoy the journey with me cause the community is positive here. MUCH LOVE AND ILL BE WATCHING YOUR CONTENT!!!!!!
22:37 "just make an anime bruh" im pretty sure the director of KH, Tatsuya Nomura, has gone on record saying he wanted to be a Mandalay when he was younger. Kinda the reason KH is so anime like, and also why his mobile game stories are so damn GOATED. Since they release like monthly content. He truly was in his bag for those. Story wise. Frfr
Don't know if anyone mentioned it already but when you fight Roxas in kingdom hearts 2 he uses some of the attacks xion uses in their battle like the pillars of lights that you could see in this cutscene. Even though she was forgotten it shows that she was a part of him.
@CornGamez
Dunno if anyone else already answered, to lazy to check every single one but here is the gist of it (as much as I can try to explain without spoiling and to make it understandable).
The Replica Program, is a program to create "vessels" for hearts to connect into, basically a substitute body (sort of like planting everything that is you, into a human-like robot). Xion is one of the first prototypes created in hopes to basically copy the ability to create keyblade wielders, but instead of being a separate controllable keyblade wielder, Xion created a personality and appearance based from Sora's memories of Kairi from KH1.
Vexen (aka Evan, one of Ansem the Wise's apprentices) was the lead scientist who started the program under Xemnas orders in regard to another plan that will come into play in future KH games, all I will say that no one else knew the real intentions of Xemnas, and why he wanted the Replica Program to be tested and finished. Saix of course understood something was being hidden from the rest of the Orginization, and the way he saw it was to become Xemnas right-hand man, to basically infiltrate Xemnas inner ranks to get that information with the help of his old time friend Axel (aka Lea), and to keep a certain promise he made long time ago. But Axel, during his time spending with Roxas, started to find a deep friendship, which later involved Xion, a "puppet" or "vessel" in the appearance of Sora's memories of Kairi from KH1. This of course complicated things as Axel tried to act both as a friend (to Roxas and Xion), and as an agent for Saix, his old friend.
A little tidbit about that scene when Xigbar saw a "Roxas doubleganger" in Xion, was from an encounter he had when he was still 'human'. I'll just say this, keep an eye on him.
Short summary: Xion was a prototype of a 'replica' that developed a personality through Sora's memories of Kairi from KH1. The Replica program was to test and perfect a way to create artificial keyblade wielders, or to simply be a vessel of someone's heart. Saix and Axel worked as sort of undercover agents for themselves while Axel strayed from it by becoming friends with Roxas and Xion.
PS: Sorry for the long explanation, hope this made some clarity, love the content and keep being you my dude, also, I hope you got the link I sent you on episode 1 of 358/2. Haters gonna hate but they ain't got anything when it comes to the Corn Crew, Peace!
No worries, thank you for the info and I'm definetly going to adress this in a video soon. I really wanna understand this lore *Secreenshot*
What you said in 1:23:30, is the beauty of the KH experience.
Just when you think you’re beginning to understand, you’re hit in the head with another curve ball you didn’t see coming, which in turn leaves you unsure if you actually understand anything. But you can’t help but love it😆
MAnnnn ItS gOnE geT sO CoMpLiCaTeD
So excited to keep this journal going🙏🏻💙
Xion was an insurance policy in case Roxas ever betrays the group for some reason, someone they can control. However, the Organization didn't expect Xion to have an identity of her own. The first sign of this was the Riku who, despite knowing that he was a fake and was being controlled, still felt that he was supposed to protect Namine and in the end, he died knowing he made a choice on his own. The remaining Org members never knew that because they weren't in Castle Oblivion. Never underestimate Vexen's knowledge. Ultimately, Xion chose to end her existence to do the right thing, but it doesn't make anything happy. You should keep this Replica knowledge in mind, because it will be an important detail in the later games.
I remember first time I played this my 14yo crying at 3am on silence trying not to wake my brother sleeping next to me.
I only found this game wile looking something fun to play on my Nintendo Ds and went in almost blind.
But man... This game made me feel things my 14yo self was not aware of.
The pain is real.
THE TIME HAS COME AND SO HAVE I
1:04:44 I believe in Japan or some kingdom Hearts store, they actually have kingdom hearts food items. One of them being Sea salt ice cream. So it's a real thing you can try!😄
Sea-salt trio best in the whole series IMO. It's splitting hairs to pick the best one cause theres so many good ones but they're definitely mine. Love your channel and reaction(s) bro. Keep it up my guy.
Thank you!!!!
also another comment since i finished the video lol. the movie is great and all but it cuts out some really cool parts of the game i recommend you watch in your free time . including like at the end when roxas is leaving the castle he runs into saix before he can leave and its a boss fight. roxas bodies him of course and thats why in kh2 when you face saix at the end as sora he says only you could of made it here in one piece, roxas. also it shows roxas turning the seashell he got from xion at the end when she died into another keyblade explaining why he has two of them all of a sudden! Crazy to think they cut these parts from the movie but nonetheless great video as always!
DAWG THE SEASHELL?????!!!!!!! And thank you!
The best part of this game was fighting Saix while technically still weak and then regaining his lost strength defeating Riku.
God 52:30 is my favourite scene from 358/2 - so much so that I can recite it alongside Roxas and Axel and mirror their inflections perfectly despite my wildly different accent. Idk, that scene just feels so sadddd
So Roxas was able to wield xion blade and it became the oblivion representing her demise and Roxas blade become oathkeeper representing his strength of will to keep his promise to her. Happy you asked for clarification
Fo shooo!!!! That's freaking fire. Thanks for clearing that up
@@corngamez no problem wanted to tell you live on twitch but you never asked and I hadn't seen this video yet. Also I sent you a scene on Twitter that shows the keyblades change.
@@vanguarddude3833 on Twitter???? Did you @ me I don't remember bruh. But ye my fault, I was so distracted by kh2 I didn't do the 358 days discussion
If Roxas became too aware of himself and thus inadequate for the organization’s bidding, they would have Xion, a copy of him, to do their bidding for them. Only Xion got an identity of her own too (and manifested a girl face due to the strength of Sora’s memories of Kairi), hence a problem for them.
The project preventing Sora from awakening was a beneficial byproduct, but likely not the original intention.
Also keep in mind that two people collecting hearts for the artificial kingdom hearts was better than 1 too. However as they were depleting each other’s powers, only one with the combined power would suffice once kingdom hearts itself was near/achieved completion. Sad life. RIP
Keep. Making. Theories. Forget the ppl that get mad at you if you're wrong. That's LITERALLY the point of a theory. It's a guess based on the evidence you have, and then collecting more evidence to see if you're wrong. Really glad you loved this game. Very excited for all the content you have to get through. It's a journey and half to catch up, but you're making great progress.
Thank you man. Im glad that you appreciate me being me. This series is super fun to go through!!!!
3:16 Xion was made before Sora stepped into Castle Oblivion
Update on me starting that 100% crit run I said a few episodes back. I beat kh2 in crit, beat kh3, then a finally went back to kh2 and completed the journal.
Edit
When playing birth by sleep, you play through each character and you should have them saved in their own separate file. By the end, you should have 3 separate completed files
Bet!!!!
I like how he thought every other scene with the buildings was the roxas riku fight, but once the fight scene started he didn't know what it was at first. lol, nice vid man.
lol hehe thank you!!!!
Shame that they didn't show Roxas lifting both his and Xion's kingdom key and turning them into oathkeeper and oblivion at the start of the world that never was.
Kingdom hearts 385/2days was ds game also u can play all organization members 😁
I LOVE Roxas' theme it is so good
It's been amazing how you've been figuring stuff out as you've experienced each story and really take the time to think where most people I've seen would be confused.
Ignore the hate! This has been a great journey so far and I'm excited to see you play through more KH2 and eventually Birth by Sleep!
BTW this game has secret reports! You can find them from the main menu! There are also some "secret" secret reports. Some of the reports will have a button prompt that brings up another report from someone else on the same day. They're insightful and definitely worth reading!!
Also, WHY they needed to make a replica in the first place is never directly explained but you can infer through the story - Xion was a "plan B" of sorts in the case that Roxas deviated and left the organization. The Organization's goal was to have the Keyblade's power for themselves to complete Kingdom Hearts. So, either Roxas remains oblivious and keeps working for them, or Xion replaces him. The latter was probably their intended result since Xion was easier to control. Ironically, both Roxas and Xion became self-aware and messed up the Organization's plan in the end. Makes you wonder how this would've turned out if Vexen was sill around, since they said his death derailed the original plan a considerable degree.
HMMM!!! IM THINKING!!! Thank you for the info and Ill read them soon.
@@corngamez No problem! I hope that wasn''t too much info tho!
Fun fact: Xion's form from the fight with Roxas infront of the clock tower was Valor Form
21:17 "xigbar, i dont like you, and i frrl like you're gunna play a bigger role in other games" Boy oh boy... lmfaooo. Also, Xigbar is the goat damn it. 😤🤣🤣
5:44 I was waiting since the last video for this scene. You did not disappoint with the reaction. When I first saw that I had the exact same WTF face XD
SO FIRE!!!!!
@@corngamez Right? Not to mention now whenever I look at Roxas, Sora or Xion's eyes, they all have the exact same eyes it's like seeing a generation of kids fighting for their right to exist. Strange, seeing as Roxas was born when Sora gave up his body to save Kairi and Xion is Kairi as Sora remembers her, so maybe that's why Kairi has been so gimped in the games. All Kairi's character development went to Xion XD Same with Namine, though she's more like a literal Sora x Kairi child.
Also note in case you hadn't realized, Xion is the reason Roxas can wield 2 keyblades as she merged with him
Blackboard time: Org13 made Xion using Sora memories as a back up/replacement to Roxas. As she interacted with Roxas she would syphon his powers and copy them. However through Roxas she began to connect to Sora and became her own person. This is a problem cuz org13 just needed a mindless puppet. Also it started to cause her to drain even more power from roxas weakening him. Rem when she lost her powers was because she wasn't around roxas as much but the longer she is the weaker he gets instead. Xemnas just needs a keyblade wielder be it roxas,.xion or sora to complete his KH. He could care less which but prefers one he can control and so far he cant control any because of how strong sora heart is.
Now that 358 is all done. The time has come it all started with...
Happy 900 subs bro! Congrats and glad to see you enjoying the kh games can’t wait for you to play birth by sleep
THANK YOU!!!!!
@@corngamez welcome! Anytime enjoyed your days cutscenes it gonna get crazy in birth by sleep get prepared my boi 😎👍
34:45 HAHAHAHA NEXT GAME FINNA BE WILD
They had no right to make
"Who will I eat ice cream with"
&
"Only 7 days to go, and my summer vacation is over."
2 of some of the saddest lines in gaming history, like how did they achieve that???
Don't overthink the specifics of what type of Nobody she is at the end. It's her final form, that's all you need to know. It's the Final Fantasy DNA at work. By the way, I'm hella excited. Birth By Sleep is one of my favorites in the series.
Also, I'm getting one of my friends into the series. I'm gonna watch him play, I wanna be there for it. All he knows is this is my favorite game series and there are Disney characters. I haven't picked what moment in which game, but at some point I'm just going to casually be like "By the way, did I mention this franchise is nothing but pain?" It has to be early enough in the series. I was thinking Day 357 of Days but I don't want to wait too long. Maybe the title card of KH2 when Roxas says "Sora, you're lucky. Looks like my summer vacation is... over."
33:02 The nervousness of being vulnerable😌
Bro, you have to get the super secret ending in KH2 before moving on to the next playable KH game. I'm in the middle of this video so I don't know if you mention this in the video but I just wanted to mention that. Loving the video so far, doe.
Thank you my guy and I will!!!!!
if you get around to it i definitely recommend playing the ds game , the cutscene movie leaves out soooo many huge moments in the game and you miss out on some hilarious dialogue exchanges between the organization members , seriously the game may have kh1 tier gameplay but the writing for the game is amazing , even better than for the movie
21:12 The foreshadowing, if only you knew.
and this a disney game Disney's.
This is one of the saddest moments in the series. It gets me every single time.
Did you also read the Secret Reports of this game?
1:01:50 my favorite scene
Did you not see the secret ending for 2? That can help you understand that scene with Xion and Xigbar.
Nahhhh Havent seen it yet
@@corngamez You can play the game again or watch it on youtube for a reaction.
1:02:50 that line kills me every time ; _ ;
The quote by Riku isn’t incorrect. You have to remember that her very existence harms the existence of two other people. It can’t just be about her anymore.
Ay but she can always be like nah lol
@@corngamez lol true
The series always making us sad,i swear.
She didn't turn into anything it was poorly explained in the movie but the games show that she was using organisation magic items to keep transforming herself.
Whaaaaa??? Dawg so she could get Roxas to body her????
Roxas well at least you have your side chick Namine 🤣🤣
Daaang starting off the video strong with dance right off tha bat hahaha! KH music is fire it's hard not too! Lets get into this! I just know this ones gonna hurt bro
🗝️Just putting this up here so it's easy to see. But before moving on to the next game there are two things you might want to do. Remember how you can read Roxas' Dairy? Well now that you've finished the game you should go back and check that out. On some of the entries there should be a button you can press that will show you other things to read. These are plot important and are this games equivalant to the ansem reports. So definetly check those out! You may also want to view the ending locked behind finishing all the post game content before moving on as you should definetly watch that before playing Birth By Sleep. Just wanted to let you know!🗝️
1:00 Damn scary Corn is back lmao But that's true haters can leave right out that door
3:24 Yep that was Vexen's doing. The Replica Program was mostly his doing. Love these theories as always.
4:10 I see nothing lol
4:34 Oh god I almost forgot where we left off this scene is really the start of the pain this game has to offer
5:58 I hate that you can tell that Axel is putting on a front during this scene. He's acting a lot closer to the way he did in Re:Chain. It just hurts knowing that in reality he's a pretty nice guy, but the organization makes him be this weird detatched assasin type.
7:35 I love this reveal. We don't know how they know eachother but if it was in question before now we know somethign was going on with them.
8:28 I love this scene too. I really enjoy that we keep going back to it over the course of KH1 through KH2 and even see it multiple times in Days. And we see more of it each time. And the context of knowing that this is pretty soon after the fight with Sora in KH1 is just so crazy. Knowing how long Xemnas has had his eyes on Sora.
10:32 That's the best feeling! When you think to yourself "Oh maybe this is what's up?" and then it all falls into place! Great job!
11:25 I think What Xemnas is saying is that the original plan was to have Xion be a Keyblade wielder with no sense of self. Having the power to wield the Keyblade given to her by Roxas. That way they'd have a Keyblade wielder that would always follow orders. One that could not fight back, because there would be no thought beyond following orders. However Sora affected her in a way that allowed her to become a person with her own thoughts and wants. Just like how they wanted to make Sora into an unthinking Keyblade wielder. However in that case he was already a person so they'd need to give him a reason to fight. That's why they wanted to use Namine to make Sora think that Namine was the most important person to him. That way anything they needed him to do could be excused as protecting Namine.
12:39 And keep in mind that what happens between Roxas and Xion now is the orginal plan. One that involves Xion and Roxas fighting leaving only one. And it seems pretty clear who Xemnas wanted to win that fight. This hasn't happened yet by this timestamp but I know you've already finished watching so it should be fine.
13:35 You're so right! This game gets the feeling of a having a friendship strained to it's maximum down really well. It's heavy for real. They all want this to keep happening. They want to be friends and hang out and go to the beach one day. But their destinies, as controlled by Xemnas, have strained their friendship to a near breaking point. And I feel bad Roxas he doesn't even really know what's going on his friends just started fighting out of nowhere in his eyes.
15:42 Something to keep in mind going forward I suppose. We know later on in KH2 that he gets his own Keyblade but how is it that he managed to take Sora's Keyblade way back when.
18:53 He really just wants his friends to be safe bruh T^T
20:10 Yea the intention was to have her be more of a Replica for Roxas than of Sora. But it's more that she was meant to be a blank Replica that just took Roxas' powers not identity. Remember that the Riku Replica acted like Riku even before being brainwashed into thinking that he actually WAS Riku. Xion on the other hand was never meant to gain any attributes other than the ability to wield the Keyblade. At least that's what I understand to be happening.
21:04 haha Yea Xigbar really does love to stir the pot it seems. I love him but not because he's a nice guy or anything just like him as a villain
22:24 Right? I'd watch the heck out of a Kingdom Hearts anime, anything show wise really. I think there were rumors of a KH show coming to Disney+ but nothing has surfaced regarding that in quite some time.
22:58 I don't think I've mentioned this yet but you visit Neverland in this game but unlike in KH1 you actually go to Neverland instead of just being on a pirate ship and then being in London.
25:04 It's easy to get wrapped up in the plot we get it! And no worries better that you understand what's going on for sure haha
Xion's whole story really is sad. All she wants to do is be with her friends and keep living. But at every turn something or someone was there to manipulate her into living out that fate. It's so rough, especially knowing that she needs to go away to wake Sora up. She was just forced into a position with no options.
31:50 The emotion this game give me! It's brutal man. This game is capital S Sad. The first time I played it I remember holding my DS just crying. I may have looked a little goofy from the outside but that needed to get out of me XD
33:23 That's a healthy way of handling it. Bottling that stuff up does not work in the long run at all
34:20 I'm not saying anything about it but you should maybe keep this cutscene in mind going forward into the series
34:38 The confusion is priceless XD That's Kingdom Hearts for you. It's story is always a few steps ahead to keep you on your toes
41:38 You called it! Nice job!
42:16 This means that when Axel came back from Re:Chain he didn't tell them about the Riku Replica who could be argued to have acquired his own identity. In fact Axel pushed him to seek out his own power.
43:42 Luxord is saying that it would've been nice to know about Xion. Luxord, Xaldin, and Demyx all didn't know about Xion. I imagine that have they lived through Re:Chain Zexion, Lexaeus, Marluxia, and Larxene wouldn't have been told either. The plan was to be kept between Xemnas, Vexen, Saix, and potentially Xigbar. Axel was able to learn the truth from Siax seeing as they were working together towards some goal behind the scenes. And of course Roxas was never menat to find out at all. It means that Xemnas keeps secrets from the rest of the Organization.
44:33 Right? It looks so cool! Unfortunatly edit Corn was having none of that today XD
45:55 You really said "Hold that thought! Mickey has entered the game!" lol It's always cool to see Mickey tho I don't blame you
52:12 Yea the rooms are so barren. Devoid of life. The only things the organization members have are there weapons, and things related to their jobs. Luxord is able to carry around cards and dice, he clearly has an affinity for games but these aren't just for his hobby he has them because that can be used for the organization. Demyx has his Sitar something he clearly enjoys, but once again most likely only has it because of it's usefulness to the organization. This whole place is a real bummer. No wonder Roxas, Xion, and Axel all hang out in Twilight Town.
The whole situation is just so steep. Everyone's lives are on the line. Not just living or not living but the very idea of who they are. It's like walking on eggshells since no matter what they do someone get hurts. If they run, or if they stay. If Xion goes back to Sora, or stays with Roxas and Axel. The deck has been stacked for them in such a way that no matter what people will get hurt.
58:51 Since you're already done with Days I don't think it's a huge deal to tell you. Xion's face (the one with black hair) can be seen by people who see her as her own person. It may be Sora's memories that gave her a face at all (hence her looking similar to Kairi) but that face is what people saw when they began to see her as her own. Remember the cutscene where the hood kept going up and down on top of the clock tower in Twilight Town? Well what was happening was that Roxas could see her but Axel who had yet to befriend her saw nothing. Meanwhile others like Xigbar saw yet another face, just who that face belongs to is something you'll have to find out by yourself.
1:02:00 Dang this whole upcoming scene hurts just thinking about it
1:06:20 Starting here is the DLC cutscene originally it just skipped to after the fight.
1:07:27 This is not a Heartless it's simply Xion's final form. This is probably close to what the Orginzation wanted. Just using the power of the Keyblade, that she had gained from Roxas and Sora, to the fullest. Think of it sort of like a Drive Form, although obviously very different. Notice that she uses pillars of pure light to attack. That's something Heartless can't do being creatures of Darkness. She also uses other light attacks during her boss fight if I remember correctly. It doesn't show it here but remember how Siax and Xemnas metioned earlier that they were going to set up machines. Well you go through missions setting those up as Roxas and you end up fighting Xion in all the locations you put machines in. Just various Disney worlds but I remember that being pretty cool.
1:10:02 Xion was intending to go with Namine and DiZ to Sora and just renter Sora's memories there. However Axel found her and brought her back just barely. By that time Xion knew that it was too late. The only way to release the memories inside her now would be to fight and lose to Roxas.
'Who else will I have Ice Cream with?" Always gets me. That's all they really wanted just to be able to spend time with eachother hanging out. They even all still worked for the Organization. They did everything they were supposed to and they still had them do this to eachother.
1:12:35 Some of these games really do feel like that. Kingdom Hearts has always loved sad/bittersweet endings. The very first game ended with Sora, Riku, and Kairi being split up again. Kh2 managed to squeak in a happy ending though so that's something. Kingdom Hearts really is all about being able to feel your emotions. To understand that those feelings no matter what they are are justified. And not just the easy ones like happiness, but sadness, and anger too.
1:13:38 I think now's a good time to bring up Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Remember how I told you that they represent Sora's connection to Riku and Kairi. Well this game makes it pretty clear that Roxas uses them as a representation of his connection with Axel and Xion. This trio in many ways reflects the Destiny trio (a fan name for Sora, Riku, and Kairi). Roxas is Sora, that one's easy Roxas is his Nobody. Axel is Riku, he's easily the darkest of the three. He continues to work for the Organization for awhile and had already been working for them before the other two were born, speaking of that he's the oldest which I'm pretty sure is true of Riku as well. Xion then is Kairi, not only does she contain within her Sora's memories of Kairi. Her character is associated with seashells. ANd those shells are something that Roxas and Xion shared with eachother when the other was asleep for days on end. The shells represent the fact that they care for eachother just like how Kairi made her good luck charm out of seashells and gave it to Sora.
1:14:19 This is another one of those scenes that they've gone back to and added onto just like the scene between Xemnas and Roxas at the Dark Margin. This is why Riku catches the keyblade but doesn't swing at first, we just didn't get to know the full context until now.
1:16:10 You actually have a boss fight against Riku here in the game. He's the last boss of the game.
1:19:54 Ooooo I want to box DiZ so bad after that line! Especially after all of this game!
I really enjoy Chain of Memories but I think I could safely say that I enjoyed this game more. And I know you didn't "play" it but I think I enjoyed the actually game more too. I love card games but there are too many things holding it back gameplay wise. On the other hand 358/2 Days gaemplay was actually really fun and a lot closer to the "mainline" games. Plus if you had friends back in the day there was TONS of multiplayer missions to play through. Story wise I like them both a lot. But this story is really touching it's kind of hard for me to compare in that way. But you're def right in saying that this game was fire.
Damn you getting racist comments? That sucks dude, guess I shouldn't be too surprised but that's some bull. You've been nothing but postive and all you've been doing is making fire content. Sorry you have to deal with that. But I'm glad you've got some good fans too! 900 of them! Congrats on that btw!
Well that's another great video in the bag! Can't wait for whatever comes next! And I'll see you again whenever! Have a good one!
I had to split this comment in too for whatever reason youtube was giving me a "return error" whenever I tried to send it. Guess it was too long whoops lol
So yeah, the reason that we kept seeing Xion's hood go back and forth between off and on the first time she sat with Roxas and Axel is because we were seeing both of their perspectives. When Roxas looked at her, he could see her face. But Axel wasn't able to see her face until he said she was his friend. That's why he kept seeing her with the hood up.
Also who tf was saying racist stuff to you over this series? That shit is ridiculous. I'm glad you didn't let them ruin the experience for you.
Some trolls maybe idk. But thank you for explaining that!!!
Idk what going but this video fire
I didn’t know you had went through racist comments from haters. I’m mixed myself, that ain’t right. Sorry you went through that. And thanks for keeping with the series.
Yeah it was wild and nah thank you for being here!!!
