The scene at the end is one of my favorites, where Aqua's all like "when did the Destiny Islands fall to darkness?", thinking there's no way she could escape, then Riku hits her with a ton of bricks. The way her face just lights up and the tears start rolling down, unreal. Especially if you've been following the series and you know what she's been through.
Everyone's talking about how happy they are that Aqua was saved or that they're mad Sora did it. I'm just over here wondering why they bothered getting rid of Riku's Way to Dawn for some giant car key. It doesn't affect the plot at all.
You know; even though Ansem (SoD) was the one who tainted Aqua with his darkness, I can't help but feel that Aqua's harsh words and bitterness to Mickey here are completely her own. In A Fragmentary Passage, it's hammered home again and again that the Realm of Darkness was getting to Aqua, and that darkness had found its way into the cracks of her heart. After being trapped in the RoD for over 10 years with absolutely no one and with Mickey just leaving her there (I know it's basically a necessary plot hole, but seriously) Aqua's bitterness and loneliness feel completely genuine - certainly not something that can be completely attributed to Ansem (SoD). I suspect that he moreso just brought out Aqua's actual darkness rather than outright posses her with his own (As she's still "herself"), which just makes this feel all the more tragic.
Yeah, yeah, right. Now, you should consider how hopeful she was when Ansem SoD arrived and took Ansem the Wise by force. That scene happened literally HOURS before this. It's not like Aqua lost hope years ago. Those words might be what Aqua was feeling in her heart, but that's just darkness' influence overall.
"My name is Thea Queen, I mean Aqua. For over a decade I was trapped in the Realm of Darkness. Now I am back with only one goal: to save the Realm of Light. But to do that, I need to become someone else. I must become... something else. I am Master Aqua" "Previously, on Kingdom Hearts"
I know how it feels, to be surrounded by loneliness with fake friends and people you can’t reach out to. It’s a hellish world honestly, but you have to fight on your own because no one will save you
I know Aqua sadness and guilt for Mickey who said it was his fault for not being there but come on seriously she got struck by Xehanort at the beach trying to proct Ansem the wise and that’s how she got cursed in the first place. sora interferes with her while Riku saves the king as if to say I fell in the darkness at the time you think that was my fault I was not here to save you Riku had to help me, you let that old man get to you you should have been stronger to defend yourself. I’m gonna take you down and bring the true aqua back even if I have to strike you down with light you hear me. How dare you sora says aqua in her dark form you think I was the weak fool Your the traitor I’m gonna bring that light out of you real good and master xehanort will be proud of me and you will join us as a dark vessel. Well this it the fight that will decide will Aqua xehanort before doom or can sora destroy her and end her dark form and save Aqua find out.
@@Quenmanp There's a difference between being the main character and having the entire universe revolve around you. And the latter is how the games treat Sora.
tbh how they played everything out before the fight, it would've made more sense for Riku to have fought her, or if he'd at least been a party member in that fight. Yes we knew Sora was gonna fight her/save her, but the scenes beforehand kinda made more sense for Riku to fight her. The development was all there for Riku who went through same thing
The whole you're home scene should have had aqua say "not yet though" with her holding her wayfinder and flashbacking to the other two at the land of departure
*dark aqua shows up* Hi I'm aqua and your probably wondering how I've got myself into this situation. well it all started 11years ago in the land of departure.
"Left me in this shadow prison for more than a decade" That's not true. Mickey just found out like one and half years ago. Darkness was influencing Aqua's words more than expected.
What really pisses me off is that Sora basically does EVERYTHING in Kingdom hearts. None of the other characters succeed without his assistance and it defientely ticks one of the boxes that makes him a Gary sue. There's no point in sugar coating it the way Sora's written in KH3 is really aggravating.
After such a transformative journey and character development I thought the depiction of Riku finally coming to terms with his past in the darkness was so fucking cool as well as heavy
So in the end, she just needed to vent a little. Sure she tried to kill Sora, Riku, and Mickey, but still; a little venting (usually)never hurt anyone.
Easily the best scene in KH3. Aqua is so beaten down through years of darkness that she doesn’t even realize that she isn’t in the Realm of Darkness anymore. And it’s Rikku, the one all too familiar with darkness, who gets to tell her “You’re in the Realm of Light.” Then Sora, just as Kairi told him and Rikku at the end of KH2, gets to tell Aqua, “You’re home.” After a decade in darkness, Aqua, you’re home. This scene kills me every time.
Nah..should have just had riku save aqua. No reason to have demon tide again for riku Sora literally no reason . He doesn’t have a emotional connection. Granted neither does riku but he takes it more seriously than sora ever did.
And Sora met Aqua on the Destiny Islands when he was a little boy. She asked Sora to protect Riku because she knew Riku would eventually walk the path of darkness, just like Terra.
It's cuz Sora solves literally every problem in the game already so him stealing Riku's thunder last second and doing the only job he had in the whole game for him just rubbed people the wrong way. Stuff like this happens more than once in the story too where all of the supporting cast gets treated like trash while Sora fixes everything. It's DBZ levels of writing where all the Z fighters get their asses kicked while waiting for Goku to swoop in last minute and save them. Seriously, name one character other than Sora who actually did jack shit in the story and I mean something that actually mattered too. Yen Sid and Lingering Will don't count since blocking a couple heartless for a few minutes and fighting Terranort for 2 seconds before vanishing doesn't count for much seeing as Sora kicks Terranort's ass later and he defeated a full blown army of Heartless before Yen Sid showed up. Nomura basically made the entire supporting cast worthless and you can't blame people for feeling like their favorite characters were done dirty when the story repeatedly has them appear helpless without Sora.
Don’t speak for every person like you know what they want. I’m glad she’s saved regardless but don’t act like everyone is gonna be happy about the way it happened. People are like that
I'm a bit disappointed because of one thing only. I wanted kairi to return the favor aqua did her. This would of been the perfect moment But I could also see why they wouldn't do that, she could have been ill prepared for something like that
To be fair to everyone bitching about Sora saving Aqua...it's Ven. Like Aqua gave so much to her friends, only to fail at everything but giving Ventus a safe place to sleep. He gets to pay her back here. It has been Ven talking every time they're talking about saving her.
They should have just let riku do the boss fight with aqua they just kinda shoved sora in there, yeah im salty that both boss fights that riku gets are with demon tide and they dont even seem that challenging and they made him op so the boss fights are short as hell at least aqua got vanitas why couldn't riku have gotten one challenging boss fight too, nomura said screw riku fans in this game. Riku should have been the one to save aqua imo
@@scrappgangkodie2342 sora has a bunch of games where he gets to shine, i dont think im asking for too much for riku to have gotten one good and challenging boss fight though
I was never a huge Donald and goofy fan before I played this game.. now I’d say they made me feel so protected and happy growing up.. it was a gift to play 3.. it was hard as fuck. But I loved it lol that master xeonort is no joke
They didn't she where she was for like then years and Mickey already said, that it's not easy to get in the RoD, except for those who can open dark corridors. So technically he let her wait for 2 years Sry for my english
@@19Sephirot93 ur good but no Mickey found a way into the realm of darkness and could have went back for her with the kingdom key of darkness, but he didn't. And Yen Sid is just as much at fault for forbidding Mickey from going back for her.
You mean in 0.2? Because at that time he lost her and he never went back for a long time. Well yen sid was always a dick, it took him 12 fucking years to leave his tower and actually do something important. And even if Mickey would have gone early, we all know by now that he can't do anything by himself. Without Aqua, he wouldn't even have Kingdom Key D😂
I felt horrible about Aqua, and I really did not want to fight her... Good thing they were able to save her, so why is everyone so upset about Sora being the one who actually did the job? After all, he's the main protagonist and the first character we were introduced to back when KH1 was released.
Yeah and I'll just come out and say it, Sora's stronger than Riku is with the Keyblade. He's had it longer and his core fighting style he never forgot. Sora had a better shot at winning than Riku did.
For fuck sakes what is with all the negative comment, look i got the game the day it got released and all i ever wanted to do is play ok i mean to me even though it isn't perfect i still love it but come on, you lot are being Vanitas for Christ sake, be positive about the game if not thats fine.
Fun fact. My friends uncle worked on kingdom hearts and he actually had a idea for a fourth teammate for Terra, Aqua, and Ventus, his name was infernus and his specialty was fire His idea was unfortunately caste aside
![Kingdom Hearts 3: ReMind DLC - Boss Xemnas & Saix [Roxas GAMEPLAY]](/img/1.gif)
Legit everything Aqua said to Mickey is what we were all thinking
Not exactly.
Technically Mickey let her wait for like 2 years and mentioned it, that it is not that easy to get into the RoD.
Sry for my grammar

BlueMageDanny its because it looks badass 🤧🤧
Because Riku is the only one smart enough to get a licence
I'm more annoyed at the fact that Keyblades have been reduced to generic breakable swords.

Well Riku could not beat Aqua on his own.
Is this a flash reference I see?
Thank you for making this reference. ^ _^
The Aqua scene was kinda sad, and like phrases “No one ever came”, “do you know how lonely it is here”, I was kinda sad
The way she looked at them when she asked when the islands fell to darkness broke my heart.
She truly gave up.
I know how it feels, to be surrounded by loneliness with fake friends and people you can’t reach out to. It’s a hellish world honestly, but you have to fight on your own because no one will save you

Strangely I didn't feel as hesitant on this Boss as I though I would be. Guess Sora's Presense made my Day, I just knew he would pull thrpugh.
Donald and Goofy being major fathers to Sora is wholesome. 10/10
9:43 Now THAT'S a superhero landing. Deadpool will be so proud.
Why are people salty about Sora saving Aqua? It’s been foreshadowed ages ago....
Thank u! He's literally the main character so ofc he's going to save her
quinn prescott Riku > Sora
@@Quenmanp There's a difference between being the main character and having the entire universe revolve around you. And the latter is how the games treat Sora.
Katou Megumi is right. They could talk about how they relate to each other you know. I hate it when Sora does EVERYTHING.

LOL, that car key.. meme approaching
*dark aqua shows up* Hi I'm aqua and your probably wondering how I've got myself into this situation. well it all started 11years ago in the land of departure.
I love the return of the KH3D combo Keyblade.
gayblade
How cool, now Sora has a gummiphone i wonder how much munny will he have to pay each month for service😂😂😂
Carlos Jimenez 😂😂
This makes me cry everytime, so happy for her c:
I can’t help but feel like Aqua is basically the people who gave up on KH3.
14:23 I live for Aqua's tears of joy
Donald and goofy are like Sora's dads
Its sad they treated him like a child. He saved many lives and beated a lot a ennemies but they don't believe in Sora's potential at all...
U can hear the puberty in Mickey’s voice😂😭
Most Epic entrance from aqua...
"Left me in this shadow prison for more than a decade"
That's not true. Mickey just found out like one and half years ago. Darkness was influencing Aqua's words more than expected.
3:21 oh hey, they finally followed up on that creepy cave
Isn't that just the Secret Place?
We’re gonna save you from yourself, Aqua.
Hang on, Aqua. We’ll save you.
It’s great to have you back, Aqua.
What really pisses me off is that Sora basically does EVERYTHING in Kingdom hearts. None of the other characters succeed without his assistance and it defientely ticks one of the boxes that makes him a Gary sue. There's no point in sugar coating it the way Sora's written in KH3 is really aggravating.
Ioan House's House Whine about it a little more pls
You definitely misunderstand the term Gary sue if you think sora is one
I think it's more the writing of the supporting cast. Nobody is allowed to do anything. Kairi in KHIII is the most obvious example.
Why would they get rid of the sickest keyblade for some generic one?
None of these are generic
@@awoolf2463 That car key though 😆
It’s meant to be modern, fitting for a Master of modern ways
13:16 you know why Aqua is bae.
👌👌👀👍
Aqua is hot we all know this but in the KH lll shader she looks way more sexier
Lewd!
Essence of wetness
Imagine..... Aqua... but as rude as Larxene #SLAP

So in the end, she just needed to vent a little. Sure she tried to kill Sora, Riku, and Mickey, but still; a little venting (usually)never hurt anyone.
So this basically recons a fragmentary passage.
Well A Fragmentary Passage was orginially going to be the first part of Kingdom Hearts 3 before they decided to move it to 2.8
Voiced by Thea Queen herself Willa Holland
Easily the best scene in KH3. Aqua is so beaten down through years of darkness that she doesn’t even realize that she isn’t in the Realm of Darkness anymore. And it’s Rikku, the one all too familiar with darkness, who gets to tell her “You’re in the Realm of Light.” Then Sora, just as Kairi told him and Rikku at the end of KH2, gets to tell Aqua, “You’re home.” After a decade in darkness, Aqua, you’re home. This scene kills me every time.
Nah..should have just had riku save aqua. No reason to have demon tide again for riku
Sora literally no reason . He doesn’t have a emotional connection. Granted neither does riku but he takes it more seriously than sora ever did.
Yes he has a connection, its called ventus' heart
Viet N actually sora did remembered aqua in ddd so he has the better connection
And Sora met Aqua on the Destiny Islands when he was a little boy. She asked Sora to protect Riku because she knew Riku would eventually walk the path of darkness, just like Terra.
@@scrappgangkodie2342 thank you everyone just hating on Sora because he get attention which make sense since he the main character.
Not to mention that sora and aqua is alike they care for there friends dearly
Don’t worry Oliver queen will save her
Would prefered if we fought Anti-Aqua with Raiku, Riku loses, then shen she is about to give the final blow, Sora blocks it
That basically happens with a little tweaking
10:35 *MASTER INSTINCT SORA!*
I don't get why people are hating Sora for saving Aqua. I mean, isn't that what people wanted? Or am I wrong?
People say things and say the complete opposite later. It's no surprise to me and merely just nitpicking.
@@twotonedrebel1891 Well, they're fickle, that's for sure. I'm fine with how the game is, so there's no need for me to be nitpicky.

Kairi doesn't have the power of awakening only Sora and Riku do.
That's a good perspective though👍
Aqua’s home... :’)
"You're Home!"
I'm happy she's back in the realm of light
Didn't Aqua remember she was sealed away in a Dark Mirror for Decades?
Aqua: *This Keyblade MINE NOW*
She should keep it, Darkqua for life with a darkness kingdom key

Then there's me relieved she's finally saved
Aqua is so sad character, but if riku is on screen, the scene have to be epic. Riku evolution is so awesome.

Because Aqua had a more emotional connection to Mickey and Riku is a master. Having Sora do it is as tantamount as saying “They took our jobs!”
So is Sora a master now or what?
they should made riku a party member at least or just let us play as him
He's a party member for two boss fights in Keyblade Graveyard.
And you do get to play as him, twice actually
@@Twocoolman115 i meant during the aqua fight
Is it just me or did the keyblade guide anyone else into a ad
y'know these scenes are awfully slow in terms of pacing.
Someone know the ost when aqua appeared? Or it's unreleased?
Anyone know what the soundtrack when they bring back aqua at destiny island?
If mickey could just go there whenever he wanted, why couldn't aqua escape?

No she didn't
I think those eyes only implies darkness, not necessarily Norted. But i could be wrong though.
Fun fact. My friends uncle worked on kingdom hearts and he actually had a idea for a fourth teammate for Terra, Aqua, and Ventus, his name was infernus and his specialty was fire
