So, let me get this straight. Every time these 2 play a game together, the fate of the universe hangs in the balance? And I thought my grandma’s bridge games were intense.
I don’t buy the fact that Drake Bell becomes Mark Hamill, especially with Drake Bell giving a painfully mid performance compared to Mark Hamill giving a good performance with his long experience with voice acting
Two boys promised to stay by each other's side. Both utterly failed in their own way to keep that promise. One boy, desperate to stay equal to the world's defender, distanced himself from his friend in search of power. The resulting emptiness was filled with obsession and ambition enough for him to lose sight of his promise. "Becoming equal to the world's defender" was twisted into "becoming THE world-defender" as he came to mistake solitude for power. The other boy devoted so much attention to his job that he failed to notice the growing distance between himself and his friend, creating a shadow inside his heart that he only noticed moments before he was struck down. It was his pupil's light that gave him the chance to stick around long enough to reconnect one last time. Only at the end of his life, when there was no future left for him, could Xehanort be made to look back through his dark past and find that one bright moment when he actually conceded defeat for once.
Eraqus cheated, he made an illegal move and xehanort called him out on it. Had eraqus just taken the loss, maybe xehanort wouldn't have to prove it with keyblade war 2
I always saw it as a kingdom hearts version of castling, but the helped give the sora piece even further of an advantage. Eraqus didn't do that part, he just had faith
“Eraqus, where’s the light of Kingdom Hearts?” “Right there, see? I outlined it with the chess pieces.” “...You were supposed to cut it out with the X-Blade.” “Dude, I’m gonna!” “Okay. Then, go get the X-Blade.” “‘Kay, I will! *starts keyblade war* “I see the problem...” “OH DO YAH?!”
Luke 17:21 Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. Master Xehanort looked to steal the kingdom of God by controlling people like puppets and Eraqus the Master Of Masters pointed out to him The kingdom of hearts is the.... Heart ❤ and the great lengths it will go despite the body taken over and submerged into darkness. Some light like Sora which soars with the sky that's what his name literally means comes from the past. Eraqus didn't cheat the chess game goes from the past to the future. When Xehanort was defeated he couldn't accept the fact he lost the war before it even began. So worried about the gazing eye a physical object the real master of masters had his Gazing eye that saw the future and had no need for an object or to use people like puppets because Eraqus is Light he is the kingdom of God the kingdom of hearts who makes his home with his people on where the balances of the fate of the universe is determined. Satan thought he would win the chess game by using gods very own words against him by knowing the future and trying to change the outcome. God wins by showing Satan that power is in the hearts of his people ♥ and Sora that was in deep darkness resurfaced from the past, Eraqus didn't cheat He won and the Master of masters is Eraqus in this video game that symbolizes God's word the Bible. The Master of masters in real life is Jesus and the 144,000 are God's chess pieces organization 13 is the illuminati who have more chess pieces and men under them. 13 darkness 7 lights. In the end the 144,000 kicked the 13 darkness ass alongside with there Master Xehanort with the king of kings and lord of lords Eraqus. You wanna know what the 3rd keyblade war will be? When The kingdom of hearts lays a merciless ass whopping on the kingdom of darkness once and for good and there Master Xehanort gonna be tossed into hell for 1000 years than humiliated for all to see than forever destroyed forever and ever in the lake of fire and the world that once was that ancient land will be brought back To unity before that corrupted maggot Xehanort brought darkness into people's hearts begetting more darkness he was the first wicked oak tree that rebelled and rotten the rest . Kingdom hearts 4 will show how the master of masters predicted the war even before it began and like I said Eraqus is the master of masters 👏
JTremix YES kinda like Star Wars, where the original trilogy was kinda the end of Star Wars. And then you went into the early days before it all began with Anakin and obi wan. Where it shows them growing up and anakin (Master Xehanort) slowly being corrupted, turning into a big villain
Actually I think that's what the Next Game before KH4 will be about! The Story of Eraqus & Xehanort as the Main Characters! The Epilogue seems to Hint at this.
@@sakonan4883 Well I think it's better this way. I think a spin-off about Xehanort is better now that his True Character was revealed on at the End of KH3.
1:08 “maybe they’re the ones for whom the war started” When I first heard that, I believed it implied that the keyblade war began with the sole purpose of killing the foretellers. Now that I’ve seen the KHUX finale, I am blown away
"Just watch!" Kingdom Hearts 4, babyyyyyyyy (or some non-numbered titles that we'll have to go through for another 10+ years before we finally get KH4).
I think can all agree re:coded is the filler of filler that ever filler’d. Game literally had no meaning to it besides the very end cutscenes. Also, when did Nomura say anything about KHIII DLC?
Xehanort: Eraqus? Eraqus: What? Xehanort: Where’s The Keyhole? Eraqus: Go’s right there, see I drew it with magic marker. Xehanort: You were supposed to cut it out with the power saw Eraqus: Well I’m gonna. Xehanort: Oh really!? Eraqus: Yes! Xehanort: So got get the power saw Eraqus: Okay I will Eraqus: I see the problem. Xehanort: OH DO YA!?
Eraqus’ illegal move must be the most devastating tragedies in pop-culture, rivaling none except for when Daniel-San uses an illegal kick in a karate tournament.
So, we all know that the next game will be something like 13 Lights Vs 7 Darknesses. But what if, at the end of KH4, the warriors of light form their own Organisation 13 to protect the worlds? Let's list who we've got, and to make it more fun, I'm gonna do what 358 days did and give each character a description and title: 1 - Travels worlds seeking adventure and excitement, King of Kingdom Hearts: Sora 2 - Fights for her beloved, inspires light into others, The Princess of Heart: Kairi 3 - Born of nothing and forges his own fate, The Key of Destiny: Roxas 4 - Controls the darkness, and gives everything for those he cares about, The Dark Knight of the Light: Riku 5 - Once controlled, now free to make her own choices, The Puppet who cut her strings: Xion 6 - Born from pure light, a past he does not remember, The Warrior Birthed by Sleep: Ventus 7 - Wields light and yields the darkness, seeks atonement, The Lingering Will: Terra 8 - Once nothing, now has purpose, wields chakrams born from flame, The Pyrokinetic Prince: Axel 9 - Travelled the darkness for a decade, teaches the future Keyblade generation, The Wayfinder: Aqua We are missing 4, and no, I'm not including Mickey because he doesn't have the time to be a part of the Organisation, but, remember that one cutscene where Xemnas tells Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene that they have an ancient Keyblade legacy? Well: 10 - Laid back, but deadly, wields a Keyblade born from water, The Water Dancer: Demyx 11 - A Keyblade that manipulates time and gambles every battle, The Wager of Victory: Luxord 12 - Deadly skills hidden by roses, a Keyblade and scythe in hand, The Rose of Terror: Marluxia 13 - A shocking Keyblade and savage temper, The Embodiment of Electricity: Larxene Well would you look at that, 13 warriors, I really hope this is the direction they go in, I don't Square to do something stupid and give Namine or Isa a Keyblade, I'd like another Prequel game exploring Demyx and Luxords origins. But that's my theory.
@@rafiaalikhan4346 Bottom of the comment: "something stupid and give Namine or Isa a Keyblade", I didn't make Namine a part of this "new organisation" because at that point it would feel like you NEED a Keyblade to be an important character. Besides, looking back, I realised this wasn't as good of an idea as I thought.
I've always loved the way Days gave each member a description and a title and I think you captured that really well. Personal favorite is what you did with Ventus. "A Warrior Birthed By Sleep" is genius given hindsight.
This chess game completely mirrored what happened in kindom hearts games, included the illegal move from Eraqus, which resembles the forbidden path of time that Sora took to change the future of the Keyblade battle. Now bear with me, if you look at 5:59 and 6:03, all the *black* pieces have a symbol on the top of each one. A unicorn (Ira), a snake (Invi), a fox (Ava), a bear (Aced), a leopard (Gula), a goat (symbol found on the keyblade "No name", MoM's keyblade) and a heart (the exact symbol is engraved on the box handed to Luxu). As a white piece, instead, we see Eraqus putting Sora's piece. This means we might see a showdown between Sora and the foretellers? This is getting interesting
I was going to say they used chess as a metaphor for the kh story up until that point with this game either foretelling what would happen or this was xehanort and eraqus in the afterlife recapping the events through a game
This is correct some light cannot be seen with the naked eye such as inferred light and some others you pathetic normies will not have the capacity in your brains to comprehend my genius
I think the Next spinoff before KH4 will be about Xehanort & Eraqus. The Opening scene should be the Final scene from the Epilogue & the Epilogue from that Game would Continue from where the KH3 Epilogue left off where Luxu was telling his friends about a Long Story.
This chess game seems like the kind of thing Abridged series Kaiba would create so he could "Screw the rules" Followed by real and abridged Atem and Yugi "Truly Screwing the rules" to beat Kaiba everytime.
If Dark Road were to turn into a console Remake game, or as a feature length movie, then I can imagine Benjamin Diskin and Drake Bell being the main lead roles and knock it out of the park with their on voice dynamic friendship like showing off Young Xehanort's caring side and Young Eraqus's fun, carefree side.
I didn't realize that Young Eraqus was voiced by Drake Bell. Came after watching the Quiet on Set documentary just to see what else I may or may not remember he was in
3:10 “C’mon. That’s not fair. I know I had you.” Says the man that travels through time and literally cheated his way to his death just to get a mythical sword. What a wack game of chess.
Anyone else notice when he puts the 7 new pieces on the board the gold symbols on the top change from organisation members symbols to ones that are similar to the master of masters apprentice masks?
Its a really nice moment seeing these cutscenes, but its kind of weird when you think about it. If this is in the past (i still think this is the afterlife), they basically played the whole KH story. Not once did Xehanort found strange that everything was going according to the game he played against Eraqus?
Just in case you still don't know, it's called Lost Masters. It's the last 50 seconds of the track, for some reason they put two different tracks in one
Or he just starts by puting one piece because he can't put all the pieces at the same ... There is absolutely NO WAY to know if it's just Sora or more right now.
ok we know union X is canon and everything , so. Who here is going to get into Dark Road and explain it to us? that game centers on Eraqus, xehanort and the other students
well in the end by 6:00 minutes you can see the chess piecer right? 7 wich is 5 representing the 5 union leaders on X. unicorn, leopard, snake, bear and fox.... so the other 2 should be master and luxu right?
Right. But the more and more I look at it. Is the fox(Ava) on the far, far right on the bottom? In front of the Leopard(Gula)? Right to left: ACED, IRA, LUXU(?), Master of Masters, INVI, GULA, & Ava(????????) can’t make out if it’s a fox. I believe it’s intentional.. Because she’s a SLY FOX.
Whenever I see how RWBY's writing has developed, I always come back to these scenes. The chess match between Eraqus and Xenahort was written by a creator who knows how to write with symbolism, while the creators of RWBY have no idea what they are doing.
I think Xehanort thought his existence meant nothing despite him knowing his destiny was to (try) and acquire the x blade and open kingdom hearts at the time, like he was following along with the path before him, but didn't feel it in him. Somehow I feel like he knew he was a pawn in destinies plan That's why after it all ended, he was finally able to let go and be with his friend Eraqus and be himself again. Deep down from those memories of him playing chess with Eraqus, he really was a good person. He knew more than he was letting on and went with it, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt him from all the pain he caused others just following their heart. He probably knew he was hurting but still thought it was the right thing to do in his mind and that's probably just what the prophecy was expecting. Maybe that's why I wanna cosplay young Xehanort I totally get him He knew he was apart of the plan at some point, but realized it was too late and had to carry through it anyways
@DVJFan He met Ansem twice. The first time Ansem simply helped him escape the islands, as mentioned in one of KH3's reports. It was obviously the second time, when he was a bit older, that he was sent off on his little time trip.
Or Young Xehanort simply preferred to wield the Keyblade he was destined to hold in his future. Xehanort leaves islands with Ansem’s help => Xehanort trains as a Keyblade wielder alongside Eraqus => Xehanort wanders in search of further power=> Xehanort meets Ansem again and does the whole time travel bit => Xehanort gets to wield his future self’s Keyblade => Xehanort returns to the time he left and forgets the future => Xehanort spends the next decades obsessing over Kingdom Hearts and the X-blade. I’m not seeing any problem at all with this timeline.
@DVJFan "Where it started" could easily mean specifically the time travel bit. The "world that is too small" could easily be referring to not just Destiny Islands, but the greater World in which he sought power. And one should note that he said to Sora "At this time, I STILL had no idea that I was talking to myself". "STILL" being the keyword to notice the implications of. It's obvious now with the scenes shown in this very video that the DDD flashback took place AFTER he first left, not DURING as we all assumed. By "outside world" as he mentioned as Sora fell into sleep, he was no longer just referring to the World outside the Destiny Islands, but the New World beyond the Keyblade War his present self was seeking. Yes, Xehanort obviously couldn't use the Keyblade before he first left the islands... And? How does that "put a dent" in the notion that he gained that power AFTER that? Oh right, because of the notion that he time-traveled before he left the islands, which has now been firmly indicated to be a false notion. In any case, if you can't accept the obvious clarification that the DDD flashback was a SECOND meeting with Ansem, not the first, that's your problem. But please, feel free to call me an idiot again. It gives SO much more weight to your words.
I think the chess game pieces are simply used for a clever narrative of the story, what events are about to unfold instead of a significance of the story. The "New game" hinted at the very end will be our next game in the series, possibly another long bridge to Kh4. The pieces signify the foretellers and the rest of the epilogue. This is just my theory.
So let me get this straight, DRAKE: BELL: voiced young eraqus in kh3? The guy who played drake parker on drake and josh, voiced young eraqus in the game. Mind, freakin, blown right now. No kidding.
Edbert Agathon It’s possible. I mean 5:59 shows the Foretellers and two other pieces which I believe are Luxu and the Master of Masters. It pretty much tells us that they are the 7 darknesses. As for the 13 lights, our only clue is the Kingdom Hearts 3 boxart.
I really hope that if you buy this 700 dollar chess board it comes with a rule book that includes the 7 chess piece summon and people really get to feel like they're also xehanort.
Eraqus: I heard about this new game. Me (Ten Years Ago): Ah, I see what you did there Nomura-san. Well played Me (Today): Ah, fuck you Tetsuya Nomura!!
Why is xigbar still norted in the end?? Maybe the yellow eyes and pointed ears are actually a trait of luxu somehow? He was tasked with passing that key blade down maybe he changes vessels or at least his influence is connected to the gazing eye? So many questions!!!
This probably before he exposed himself to Darkness. I read he took off his armor that protect him from darkness to let it in. So, I'm guessing is why his eyes are silver :D
Stupid theory that I just thought of while reading ur comment incoming. Xigbar aka Luxu also have yellow eyes and pointy ears even after all that stuff happend right? Young xehanort have silver eyes and his ears arent pointy either. Xigbar told the others that he had different forms after time. And he was longer in Xigbar then we think, just look at bbs pointy ears yellow eyes and his catchphrase "as if". Just because he changes his optic donsnt mean he changed his personality. So what if his task is it to let people fall into darkness or split his heart in many people or people who has much potential to fall into darknes, so he did with Xehanort. The reason that he was always on his side, in BBS, KH2 with Xemnas, and know Kh 3. He try to make sure that his plan will be successful and used Xehanort for his own 😂 😅
With the controversy surrounding Drake Bell (the voice of young Eraqus), do you think they might redub this scene with Eraqus having a different voice actor. I’m only saying that mainly because of that one scene in one of the episodes of Gravity Falls.
@@teddie7844 No, she wasn't. His accuserS(plural) were ordered to delete their social media. No evidence was submitted. No witnesses questioned. A famous white man with power walks away scot free again despite him ADMITTING TO DOING IT. You can educate yourself about the situation or you can choose to blindly devote your loyalty to another human being and pretend he's an infallible God. I don't care which one you choose. Bye.
Just in case you still don't know, it's called Lost Masters. It's the last 50 seconds of the track, for some reason they put two different tracks in one
My assumption is that Eraqus and Xenahort are representative (or literally are) the forces of light and darkness that we learn about in UX. They are doomed to fight forever and now have turned it into a game.
With Young Xehanort and Young Eraqus still playing chess that foretell the future and the fates to the new chapter, maybe it's possible they'll likely return for KH4. As for the allegations? I've heard it was false (and also with the recent popular documentary Quiet On Set released) and that it was already settled, so who knows if SE are forgivable? If they ever remake Dark Road as a feature length movie, or remake it as a console game, or let Young Xehanort and Young Eraqus return for KH4, who knows if they'll let the same VAs for both young Xehanort and Eraqus to return. If they wouldn't let Drake Bell reprise as Young Eraqus either because they're not so forgiving on those who face the allegations whether they're guilty of it or not, then I honestly wouldn't be surprised. If they still let him reprise the role, then I'd be more psyched for him since he's been going through road to recovery for a long time, and maybe doing more voice acting would help him move forward with his life.
Nobody does understand the rules of this game so you can't tell if one is cheating or not. Everything complicated and not understandable is just simply justified by "May my heart be my guiding key".
Dark Road makes this tragic. Xenahort killed 2 of his peers. Like the kid surviving the *[American High School Incident]* going off on the other survivors
This probably explain for the Kh4 trailer that we are all watching. The 7 dark pieces vs 1 light piece. The 7 are preferring the 4 ancient keyblade gardens, luxu, and master of masters. But who’s the 7th dark piece. As for the light piece. The light piece is Sora. So which means Sora is going to battle the Ancient Keyblade gardens, Luxu, and the master of masters. Also we still need to find out more about the Black Box that Luxu just brought out at the end of Kh3. The kingdom hearts series still continues on. May your heart be your guiding key.

WHERE’S THE KEYHOLE JOSH

@@spindash64 I think you meant Drake
So, we all know that the next game will be something like 13 Lights Vs 7 Darknesses. But what if, at the end of KH4, the warriors of light form their own Organisation 13 to protect the worlds? Let's list who we've got, and to make it more fun, I'm gonna do what 358 days did and give each character a description and title:
1 - Travels worlds seeking adventure and excitement, King of Kingdom Hearts: Sora
2 - Fights for her beloved, inspires light into others, The Princess of Heart: Kairi
3 - Born of nothing and forges his own fate, The Key of Destiny: Roxas
4 - Controls the darkness, and gives everything for those he cares about, The Dark Knight of the Light: Riku
5 - Once controlled, now free to make her own choices, The Puppet who cut her strings: Xion
6 - Born from pure light, a past he does not remember, The Warrior Birthed by Sleep: Ventus
7 - Wields light and yields the darkness, seeks atonement, The Lingering Will: Terra
8 - Once nothing, now has purpose, wields chakrams born from flame, The Pyrokinetic Prince: Axel
9 - Travelled the darkness for a decade, teaches the future Keyblade generation, The Wayfinder: Aqua
We are missing 4, and no, I'm not including Mickey because he doesn't have the time to be a part of the Organisation, but, remember that one cutscene where Xemnas tells Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene that they have an ancient Keyblade legacy? Well:
10 - Laid back, but deadly, wields a Keyblade born from water, The Water Dancer: Demyx
11 - A Keyblade that manipulates time and gambles every battle, The Wager of Victory: Luxord
12 - Deadly skills hidden by roses, a Keyblade and scythe in hand, The Rose of Terror: Marluxia
13 - A shocking Keyblade and savage temper, The Embodiment of Electricity: Larxene
Well would you look at that, 13 warriors, I really hope this is the direction they go in, I don't Square to do something stupid and give Namine or Isa a Keyblade, I'd like another Prequel game exploring Demyx and Luxords origins. But that's my theory.
That's a good theory
I'm a year late but you forgot Naminé
@@rafiaalikhan4346 Bottom of the comment: "something stupid and give Namine or Isa a Keyblade", I didn't make Namine a part of this "new organisation" because at that point it would feel like you NEED a Keyblade to be an important character. Besides, looking back, I realised this wasn't as good of an idea as I thought.
Nomura:
"Let´s see more comments to put in the new game"
I've always loved the way Days gave each member a description and a title and I think you captured that really well. Personal favorite is what you did with Ventus.
"A Warrior Birthed By Sleep" is genius given hindsight.
This chess game completely mirrored what happened in kindom hearts games, included the illegal move from Eraqus, which resembles the forbidden path of time that Sora took to change the future of the Keyblade battle.
Now bear with me, if you look at 5:59 and 6:03, all the *black* pieces have a symbol on the top of each one.
A unicorn (Ira), a snake (Invi), a fox (Ava), a bear (Aced), a leopard (Gula), a goat (symbol found on the keyblade "No name", MoM's keyblade) and a heart (the exact symbol is engraved on the box handed to Luxu).
As a white piece, instead, we see Eraqus putting Sora's piece. This means we might see a showdown between Sora and the foretellers?
This is getting interesting
I was going to say they used chess as a metaphor for the kh story up until that point with this game either foretelling what would happen or this was xehanort and eraqus in the afterlife recapping the events through a game
Drake and Josh, but Drake is playing chess with the guy who had to give away his GameSphere games.
"Unlike Darkness, there's always more to Light than meets the eye."
There was more to Luxu than meets the eye/
So Light is a Transformer.
Did you know you're sons of Jesus christ and that we been in a spiritual war?
FrankieOfGad144k _ um.....ok....
This is correct some light cannot be seen with the naked eye such as inferred light and some others you pathetic normies will not have the capacity in your brains to comprehend my genius
It would be dope if the KH3 dlc was about these two
You’re right, DLC is just not enough. We need a Whole Spin-Off Game for Xehanort And Eraqus Origin Story.
I think the Next spinoff before KH4 will be about Xehanort & Eraqus. The Opening scene should be the Final scene from the Epilogue & the Epilogue from that Game would Continue from where the KH3 Epilogue left off where Luxu was telling his friends about a Long Story.
@@thekeybladewerehog3766 wish granted
Can't wait to learn more about Eraqus in the future games! His family line is touched upon in one of the Secret Reports and leaves a few questions.
i believe it gets touched upon in KHDR (KH Dark Road)?
This chess game seems like the kind of thing Abridged series Kaiba would create so he could "Screw the rules"
Followed by real and abridged Atem and Yugi "Truly Screwing the rules" to beat Kaiba everytime.
In this case Eraqus says "screw rules i have light"
OMG Their friendship is adorable! Makes me kinda sad though, how they drifted so far apart.
"Drake, where's the keyhole?"
BRUH LOL
"So you know the "Lost Masters" ?
Theyre the ones who started the Keyblade War. Or theyre for whom the war started."
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
The Master of Masters.
2:10 In the eyes of Eraqus I can totally see Sora and in the eyes of Xehanort at 2:14 I can see Riku
Yeah, especially Eraqus. The way he was so earnest in his expressions and even his voice was a lot like Sora's earnestness and the way he speaks.
Young eraqus... is Drake Bell. I cannot believe I didn't notice.
I find it a bit portentous that Eraqus never said Xehanort’s name throughout their chess game
Victoria Naniwise Only Nomura would know 😅
Salt and Pepper Oh crap
I just realized today that Drake Bell played the English voice of Eraqus when he was younger
If Dark Road were to turn into a console Remake game, or as a feature length movie, then I can imagine Benjamin Diskin and Drake Bell being the main lead roles and knock it out of the park with their on voice dynamic friendship like showing off Young Xehanort's caring side and Young Eraqus's fun, carefree side.
I didn't realize that Young Eraqus was voiced by Drake Bell. Came after watching the Quiet on Set documentary just to see what else I may or may not remember he was in
You know what? I would buy a spinoff about Xehanort and Eraqus on their early days. I imagine it having a gameplay mechanic like DDD.
Well you got your wish
*monkey's paw curls*
It’s crazy drake bell from drake and Josh plays young eraqus here in this scene
3:10 “C’mon. That’s not fair. I know I had you.”
Says the man that travels through time and literally cheated his way to his death just to get a mythical sword. What a wack game of chess.
I just learned that young Eraqus is voiced by Drake Bell from Drake & Josh. Now you know and can never unhear it...
I want that chess
Me too
They actually made a chess piece set after this and It’s expensive and I can’t get it and I’m disappointed
Can’t believe Drake Parker just beat Joseph Joestar in a game of chess.
What did you expect from Spider-Man?
Nigel uno?
0:27 they’re talking about their master Odin.
Anyone else notice when he puts the 7 new pieces on the board the gold symbols on the top change from organisation members symbols to ones that are similar to the master of masters apprentice masks?
POV: you are a spider on my table
6:14
Its a really nice moment seeing these cutscenes, but its kind of weird when you think about it. If this is in the past (i still think this is the afterlife), they basically played the whole KH story. Not once did Xehanort found strange that everything was going according to the game he played against Eraqus?
You remember a single chess game you played at 17 when you're as old as Xehanort.
song name at 5:23?
Just in case you still don't know, it's called Lost Masters. It's the last 50 seconds of the track, for some reason they put two different tracks in one
The original 7 apprentices against 1 light?
Like... Sora?
Even Ava?
we don't know if there's just 1 light tho cause it cuts
Or could it be... Ava is Sora’s mother?
@@tunderdiamant8651 The fact it cuts/ends there proves it's just Sora.
Or he just starts by puting one piece because he can't put all the pieces at the same ... There is absolutely NO WAY to know if it's just Sora or more right now.
DDRhappiness17 the crown is always Sora
A game is no fun if you know what it is going. I believe this is a main staple and motivation behind the mind of Kingdom Hearts.
Xehanort and Eraqus are Nomura and Tai Yasue confirmed 😂
Lmao, imagine that the whole Keyblade War thing started just because Xehanort lost a chess match
Is it bad I just realized that’s drake bell LOL
Nah I just learned going through the comments-
spiderman ad venom playing chess
(no joking their actors are of Ultimate and Spectacular spiderman look it up)
ok we know union X is canon and everything , so. Who here is going to get into Dark Road and explain it to us?
that game centers on Eraqus, xehanort and the other students
well in the end by 6:00 minutes you can see the chess piecer right? 7 wich is 5 representing the 5 union leaders on X. unicorn, leopard, snake, bear and fox.... so the other 2 should be master and luxu right?
Right.
But the more and more I look at it. Is the fox(Ava) on the far, far right on the bottom? In front of the Leopard(Gula)?
Right to left: ACED, IRA, LUXU(?), Master of Masters, INVI, GULA, & Ava(????????) can’t make out if it’s a fox.
I believe it’s intentional.. Because she’s a
SLY FOX.
@@TheInfluuence suppose... Avas Reincarnation?
Or Form?
Like Luxu to Xigbar?

You I just realized that Xehanort has white hair & Eraqus has black hair i love how a black boy and a white boy are best friends
While xehanort has dark skin tone tone and eraqus paler.
Didn't know young eraqus was voiced by Drake Bell
Whenever I see how RWBY's writing has developed, I always come back to these scenes.
The chess match between Eraqus and Xenahort was written by a creator who knows how to write with symbolism, while the creators of RWBY have no idea what they are doing.
Woke ruined RWBY
@@ilhamardanta4737what are you talking about.
I can’t not see drake bell he plays young master so good
I think Xehanort thought his existence meant nothing despite him knowing his destiny was to (try) and acquire the x blade and open kingdom hearts at the time, like he was following along with the path before him, but didn't feel it in him.
Somehow I feel like he knew he was a pawn in destinies plan
That's why after it all ended, he was finally able to let go and be with his friend Eraqus and be himself again.
Deep down from those memories of him playing chess with Eraqus, he really was a good person.
He knew more than he was letting on and went with it, but that doesn't mean it didn't hurt him from all the pain he caused others just following their heart.
He probably knew he was hurting but still thought it was the right thing to do in his mind and that's probably just what the prophecy was expecting.
Maybe that's why I wanna cosplay young Xehanort
I totally get him
He knew he was apart of the plan at some point, but realized it was too late and had to carry through it anyways
I don't get how xehanort ended up on the destiny islands years after this, he was complaining in a cut scene it was too small as if he couldn't leave
He left the islands, trained here, then visited the islands again to meet Ansem in search of power.
@DVJFan He met Ansem twice. The first time Ansem simply helped him escape the islands, as mentioned in one of KH3's reports. It was obviously the second time, when he was a bit older, that he was sent off on his little time trip.
Or Young Xehanort simply preferred to wield the Keyblade he was destined to hold in his future.
Xehanort leaves islands with Ansem’s help => Xehanort trains as a Keyblade wielder alongside Eraqus => Xehanort wanders in search of further power=> Xehanort meets Ansem again and does the whole time travel bit => Xehanort gets to wield his future self’s Keyblade => Xehanort returns to the time he left and forgets the future => Xehanort spends the next decades obsessing over Kingdom Hearts and the X-blade.
I’m not seeing any problem at all with this timeline.
@DVJFan "Where it started" could easily mean specifically the time travel bit. The "world that is too small" could easily be referring to not just Destiny Islands, but the greater World in which he sought power. And one should note that he said to Sora "At this time, I STILL had no idea that I was talking to myself". "STILL" being the keyword to notice the implications of. It's obvious now with the scenes shown in this very video that the DDD flashback took place AFTER he first left, not DURING as we all assumed. By "outside world" as he mentioned as Sora fell into sleep, he was no longer just referring to the World outside the Destiny Islands, but the New World beyond the Keyblade War his present self was seeking.
Yes, Xehanort obviously couldn't use the Keyblade before he first left the islands... And? How does that "put a dent" in the notion that he gained that power AFTER that? Oh right, because of the notion that he time-traveled before he left the islands, which has now been firmly indicated to be a false notion.
In any case, if you can't accept the obvious clarification that the DDD flashback was a SECOND meeting with Ansem, not the first, that's your problem. But please, feel free to call me an idiot again. It gives SO much more weight to your words.
Chris Strife it’s before THIS
Why are they so adorable together???
I'm here because I just found out Drake Bell played Eraqus and I'll never unhear it
weird how xehanort looks younger from when he left destiny islands.

my half self looks at them as hotties while my other half ships them. help me
The chess are really beautiful
I think the chess game pieces are simply used for a clever narrative of the story, what events are about to unfold instead of a significance of the story. The "New game" hinted at the very end will be our next game in the series, possibly another long bridge to Kh4. The pieces signify the foretellers and the rest of the epilogue. This is just my theory.
eraqus used soul charge to bring back his pieces
I would love it if someone actually made a chess game like this with its own unique rules, like they did with the 3D chess from Star Trek.
Hahaha I sort of love it when Xehanort becomes a total dork when Eraqus has a trick up his sleeve.
Kh3 spin off of young xehanorts story!
Welp,time to use chain cards again.
So let me get this straight, DRAKE: BELL: voiced young eraqus in kh3? The guy who played drake parker on drake and josh, voiced young eraqus in the game. Mind, freakin, blown right now. No kidding.
And Ben Diskin once guest starred in his show if you can find him ;)
7 darkness and 13 light in the KH4???
Edbert Agathon It’s possible. I mean 5:59 shows the Foretellers and two other pieces which I believe are Luxu and the Master of Masters. It pretty much tells us that they are the 7 darknesses. As for the 13 lights, our only clue is the Kingdom Hearts 3 boxart.
Porbably 7 darkness and just 1 light, meaning Sora vs the five Foretellers + Luxu + the Master of Masters.
I hope it's not against the foretellers except the darkness and luxu
I really hope that if you buy this 700 dollar chess board it comes with a rule book that includes the 7 chess piece summon and people really get to feel like they're also xehanort.

Eraqus: I heard about this new game.
Me (Ten Years Ago): Ah, I see what you did there Nomura-san. Well played
Me (Today): Ah, fuck you Tetsuya Nomura!!
Why is xigbar still norted in the end?? Maybe the yellow eyes and pointed ears are actually a trait of luxu somehow? He was tasked with passing that key blade down maybe he changes vessels or at least his influence is connected to the gazing eye? So many questions!!!
I'm a little disappointed the game didn't answer how xehanorts had silver eyes further in the timeline from when he was yx in the organization.
This probably before he exposed himself to Darkness. I read he took off his armor that protect him from darkness to let it in. So, I'm guessing is why his eyes are silver :D
Its like with Anakin. If you become evil u will have glowy yellow eyes =D deal with it. it is some sith shit
Stupid theory that I just thought of while reading ur comment incoming.
Xigbar aka Luxu also have yellow eyes and pointy ears even after all that stuff happend right?
Young xehanort have silver eyes and his ears arent pointy either. Xigbar told the others that he had different forms after time. And he was longer in Xigbar then we think, just look at bbs pointy ears yellow eyes and his catchphrase "as if". Just because he changes his optic donsnt mean he changed his personality. So what if his task is it to let people fall into darkness or split his heart in many people or people who has much potential to fall into darknes, so he did with Xehanort. The reason that he was always on his side, in BBS, KH2 with Xemnas, and know Kh 3. He try to make sure that his plan will be successful and used Xehanort for his own 😂 😅
@ShiNy ArMor RIGHT It turned yellow when he got his eyepatch 😂😅
Kinda like in Yugioh GX when Jaden was overtaken by the Supreme King, his eyes went gold too.
With the controversy surrounding Drake Bell (the voice of young Eraqus), do you think they might redub this scene with Eraqus having a different voice actor. I’m only saying that mainly because of that one scene in one of the episodes of Gravity Falls.
I don't. Just like they won't redub Axel's lines. What happened with Gravity Falls?

Anyone know the name of the theme during the last scene ?
Just in case you still don't know, it's called Lost Masters. It's the last 50 seconds of the track, for some reason they put two different tracks in one
I can’t help but picture Drake Bell when I hear Eraqus.
THE GUY FROM DRAKE Y JOSH NO LO PUEDO CREEEEEEEEEEEEER4
My assumption is that Eraqus and Xenahort are representative (or literally are) the forces of light and darkness that we learn about in UX. They are doomed to fight forever and now have turned it into a game.
You wanna know why Eraqus won that game?
Cause he's number ONE!
So who do you think is going to voice act the young eraqus since drake...well...you know.
What?
It would be hilarious if they got Josh Peck lol.
Yeah I wonder who it would be
No one. Eraqus is done in the series.
With Young Xehanort and Young Eraqus still playing chess that foretell the future and the fates to the new chapter, maybe it's possible they'll likely return for KH4. As for the allegations? I've heard it was false (and also with the recent popular documentary Quiet On Set released) and that it was already settled, so who knows if SE are forgivable? If they ever remake Dark Road as a feature length movie, or remake it as a console game, or let Young Xehanort and Young Eraqus return for KH4, who knows if they'll let the same VAs for both young Xehanort and Eraqus to return. If they wouldn't let Drake Bell reprise as Young Eraqus either because they're not so forgiving on those who face the allegations whether they're guilty of it or not, then I honestly wouldn't be surprised. If they still let him reprise the role, then I'd be more psyched for him since he's been going through road to recovery for a long time, and maybe doing more voice acting would help him move forward with his life.
Bruh.. Young Master Eraqus is Drake Bell.
Nobody does understand the rules of this game so you can't tell if one is cheating or not. Everything complicated and not understandable is just simply justified by "May my heart be my guiding key".
Dark Road makes this tragic. Xenahort killed 2 of his peers. Like the kid surviving the *[American High School Incident]* going off on the other survivors
Reversed? We get to play as the bad guys now in the next game? 7 darkness's now?
Maybe? I mean, you could argue there's now enough lights around to make up 13, though I'm not sure that means we'll change which side we fight on.
Unlike darkness, light is a sore loser.
This probably explain for the Kh4 trailer that we are all watching. The 7 dark pieces vs 1 light piece. The 7 are preferring the 4 ancient keyblade gardens, luxu, and master of masters. But who’s the 7th dark piece. As for the light piece. The light piece is Sora. So which means Sora is going to battle the Ancient Keyblade gardens, Luxu, and the master of masters. Also we still need to find out more about the Black Box that Luxu just brought out at the end of Kh3. The kingdom hearts series still continues on. May your heart be your guiding key.
