[@thekingslayer2178]

What really gets me about Sora’s sacrifice in KH1 is that he does a similar cheesy smile to the one he does in the beginning of the game, right after Donald tells him “No frowning. No sad face. Okay? This boat runs on happy faces.” So when he does it again before his sacrifice, that’s him masking his sadness. It’s like he’s telling Donald and Goofy, “everything’s gonna be okay.” I don’t really know if that’s the intent, but I don’t really know how else to read that scene.

Fun Fact: After releasing Kairi, Sora becomes a heartless. When Kairi saves Sora, he didn't magically become whole again. Sora's heart was just reminded of what he was supposed to look like. Sora doesn't become whole again until nearly the end of KH2, when he merges with Roxas. So for the remainder of KH1, all of Com, and most of KH2, Sora is still a heartless.

Adding onto Strelitzia, her death retroactively makes the ReCoM boss fight of Marluxia ten times darker with the implications of the Nobody the dude chills on as he fights Sora.

[@theeyeoftheyinyangs]

Sone speculate Marluxia’s Nobody is Strelitzia’s spirit protecting him.

[@lukasruston8618]

Kind of but I think where a lot of people get things wrong is that the reaper isn't literally Strelitzia; all of the Nobodies in Organisation XIII get their weapons and powers from their previous lives (even if they don't remember it) that's why Axel has chakrams, why Larxene has lightning (she was presumably struck by lightning at the end of Union X) etc. Marluxia's power is death and he has a scythe to reflect that, his powers come from his lost memories of his dead sister, the reaper during that fight is almost definitely just a physical manifestation of his grief even if he doesn't realise it.

[@tyrellbrown6262]

How are you going to ignore half the sadness that is in KH Days like for example 1) Xion learning she's nothing more then a puppet. 2) Axel having to continuously fight his friends over and over again in mental and physical battles. 3) Roxas literally killing Xion and have to literally forget she even existed. Like seriously Kingdom Hearts 358 Days/ 2 is my first KH game and this game made me cry as a 9 year old due to the tragedy that happens in this game.

[@ritachikorita6916]

I’m surprised there was not a single mention of Roxas and his struggles about who he is culminating in his sacrifice at the end of Kingdom Hearts 2’s prologue.

[@taqresu5865]

On this topic, the Mobile games deserve a whole separate video each. KHUX gets especially dark if you actually played the game yourself, because the protagonist is created by and personified by you, the player. All the messed up stuff that happens to the Protagonist feels a lot more personal at that point (though Damo279, Everglow, and a few others have the special case of having their journeys be in the spotlight for many people's first reactions).

[@saix_unicorn]

yeah those were crazy, wasen't expecting that at all

[@DSilva-rw4sb]

I might be wrong tho, but i think the bbs moment where the evil stepsisters get "bursted into flames" its just an explosion that sends them flying away team rocket style. I think thats what happens by the way Cinderela and Aqua watch them in the next scene.

[@loonytunescrazy]

They confirmed that Ladt Tremine and the Stepsisters are dead in through

[@n.k.central8279]

Skyward: what did i miss Me: almost the entirety of the ending of 358/2 days and prologue to kh2. Axel at one points literally hunts down Xion and they attack each other nearly to death only for Xion to escape yet again and attempt to murder Roxas or be murdered in the process ending with Xion being murdered. While her murderer begs for her not to die while she deteriorated into his arms. Then riku forces Roxas into a fight only to end up brainwashing him and keeping him prisoner while his old best friend tries to hunt him down with orders to also murder him, then he is forced to over exhaust himself until he literally ceases to exist and have to reform with Sora.

[@AlonzoTompkins]

Surprised you didn’t mention the part where Replica Riku was read to cleave Sora’s head open before Namine stopped him by shattering his brains.

[@NoctiisXIII]

also shouldve included the scene where naminé screams "stop!" at repliku in com which basically kills him, he just lifelessly flops to the ground, even his eyes are still open. and larxene throws that lifeless puppet body around like its nothing, it looks really creepy since yknow the replica body still just looks like a dead riku. to me this scene is one of the darkest ones from com besides the murder of vexen and zexion

[@wightrabbit]

Let's not forget how Riku legitimately suffocated Roxas in order to capture him and hand him over to DiZ. That still messes me up because of how Roxas struggles and the voice acting and just seeing him go unconscious and seeing his keyblades drop. Idk, it just put a pit in my stomach when I first saw it and it still does to this day

[@bengisu1998]

I played the original gameboy version of kingdom hearts chain of memories back when i was 6 years old. It was text based without voice acting so i didn't totally felt the brutal murders happening in the game. After playing the 1.5 remix almost 20 years later, OH MY, the replica riku's scene where larxene "remakes" his heart got me shocked. I still remember the first time I've seen that scene with voice acting... that replica riku's scream was so sad 😭

[@wadeyhyena1657]

I'd say the darkest scene for me was when Ventus begged his friends to end him before the final confrontation that resulted in Terra and Ventus' downfalls. He's learned a lot throughout his adventures and has pieced together everything about himself. He's become despondent and knows that unless he's destroyed by someone of the light, he'll become the x-Blade. For someone whose meant to be around Sora's age. That's pretty messed up.

[@sergiosalcedo5111]

I think is worth mentioning how they emotionally tortured Roxas through literally his whole existence. Not knowing who he was, how to feel, meaning of what is to feel, having both of his best and only friends betray him, having to fight both of them, forget everything including the memories of his beloved friend who was force to kill, have been used as a tool even by the good guys, forced to live a lie in the virtual twilight town, and the icing in the cake, having to renounce to himself, his life, his whole existence to that guy everyone seems to be so obsessed with, even Xion at some point. If we think about it, Roxas was always the forgotten one, the mistreated, underestimated, wildly used and manipulated, always on the shadow of another guy he doesn't even know (Sora) and even a reflection of another (Ventus). Also let's not forget about Xion. She knew that she had to fight Roxas to the Death. She knew that her life was over one way or another. She knew that even doing the right thing, she will be forgotten by everyone. (We know that KH3 gave us the happy ending we wanted, but still before that, it was PURE DARKNESS and really messed up.

[@thelostmaster13]

Honestly I was surprised you didn't include Xehanort cutting down Eraqus after Eraqus tried to eliminate both of his adopted sons with Xehanort organizing this after having been best friends with Eraqus for so many years. Oh, plus the fact the Xehanort scarred Eraqus after showing that he was with the darkness and Eraqus wanted to stop him from going deeper which probably led to a trauma response in Eraqus. That whole messy situation was WILD, plus to add insulat to injury Xehanort absolutely eviscerated their home

[@Bravidunno]

How do you explain Ansem's voice when he said "Too slow." when Riku slayed Lexaeus? And... when you see that Ven is getting ignited with dark fire on his body before getting frozen, man that's brutal. And even more reason for me to get satisfaction at beating the old man in KH3. Am I the only one who feels bad for Ven's back when he's sleeping on the chair?

Y'all just gonna ignore the death of Xion in Days ? And everybody just forgetting everything about her even existing ??? One of the most heart breaking scene and honestly way worse than Sora's sacrifice in KH1, that shit broke my heart when I was playing days

[@Lillymu961]

This was a fun video! I really enjoyed it. :) For me personally, one of the darkest moments is the moment Xion confronts Roxas to fight him, basically forcing him into a situation where he has to either survive or kill his best friend. The build-up to that moment is already dark because Axel, Xion, and Roxas have started drifting apart as friends, and then the aftermath where Roxas realizes he's going to forget Xion and he goes charging toward the Organization headquarters in what would have basically been a suicide run if Riku didn't intervene is just that extra layer of darkness. As powerful as Roxas became by the end of 358...he wasn't about to face everyone left in the Organization alone and get out in tact. I say that mainly because I think the remaining members would have all just jumped him at once before Roxas could even get to Xemnas rather than fighting him one at a time like they did for Sora later. That and he was charging in blindly to do the last thing Xion asked of him before he forgot her for good, so the boy had zero time to prepare a plan and was probably too grief stricken and angry to care about his own well-being. He was going in keyblades blazin' with nothing to lose. Definitely one of the darker sequences in the series for me, especially because of what happened to Roxas after all that. My goodness. What a roller coaster of devestation.

[@FrenchVorish]

To me one of the brutal scene is at the end of KH:358/2 days [Spoilers Ahead]. At the end of the game, Roxas' friend Xion learns that she's in fact made out of Sora's memories. She then faces her best friend Roxas, explaining that in order to survive she have no choice but to kill since one of them must die for the other to remain. However when Xion eventually loses and starts dying, she explains that since she's only made out of memories when she will die, everyone will forget that she even existed and dies in the arms of Roxas. Roxas then turn his back to the organisation XIII to keep a promise to someone he don't even remember. To face them he then carries two keyblades as his own and Xion's keyblade became Oathkeeper (Roxas' promise) and Oblivion (Xion that got forgotten).

Ansem the wise kinda abused Roxas mentally where even Riku was like "It's brutal though" just because he was a "nobody". Roxas killing Xion because he had to. Xemnas torturing Sora in Kingdom Hearts 3D physically and mentally. Yen effing Sid... After Sora went so much through in 3D, being forced to knocked out and even was not his fault for falling asleep, so in the end Ventus had to protect his heart, the sorcerer had the audacity saying to him:"Nah, you didn't passed :'D" Giving a message like:"You've being abused and barely survived. No chance lol" Still hate him to this day. Should at least admit that the Keyblade master exam was a failure itsself, because the security system kinda didn't work there. Kairi being stabbed by Xehanort infront of everyone. I think theres more...but those things made me think like: wow...

KH2's secret ending is a lot more brutal than what we got in Birth By Sleep.

On the other hand, the manga had deaths to be absolutely horrific. Like that woman in the Traverse Town first visit in the KH1 Manga. She got lynched by a Soldier Heartless compared to a man while scared fading away in the game. Then there's the KH2 manga during the Land of Dragons chapter towards the end, where Shan Yu got shot in the head by Xigbar. Rated E for everyone, my ass.

In Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days, after Xion learned the truth that she’s just a puppet, and knew she can’t exist knowing it’ll just most likely end Sora. She pleaded to her two friends to kill her so Sora’s memories would return. Roxas ended up killing her, ends up forgetting her because killing her erased the memories of her friends, and returns in KH3. Axel can’t remember who she is, leading to her trying to kill her former friend, only for Sora to tell her it’s all right.

I feel like a certain moment is missing from this "list". And the end of Birth by Sleep Ventus realizes he is an integral part of Xehanort's plan. The center piece of said plan if you will. So he goes to meet up with his two best friends, shortly before they are all about to be absolutely folded by Xehanort and Vanitas as seen in the video. So he steps up to the only two people he has left in this world and just straight up asks them to "put an end" to him. That's messed up!

[@creeperkinght1144]

The one that really gets me to my core is when Roxas is told that ' You weren't meant to exist', which basically just said everything that you go through, all your experiences that you face and that you value, all of the people you met, don't matter and completely irrelevant to everything else in this world. Which doesn't help at all since he wanted be his own person, and all of his negative emotions and experiences are poured right back into Sora, so it's no wonder Sora felt those things during his journey after CoM. Yikes.

But it definitely shows that even though Disney works alongside Square Enix to make the Kingdom Hearts series, how there's no shortage of human based deaths of some kind.

Ngl, Dark road cooked my soul, seeing what happened to vor just tore me asunder. Also terra being split 3 ways is crazy, his body became xemnas his heart became ansem's stand and his mind is stranded in limbo inside the armor, that's inside and just everything about Xion and Roxas.

[@theeyeoftheyinyangs]

I don’t know if you know it, but he’s the Dark Guardian who follows Heartless Ansem in KH1, and then Terrahnort in KH3. And what’s worse, his mouth is constricted from talking.

[@TrueReverse74]

@@theeyeoftheyinyangs Yeah, I knew, that's what I meant by "ansem's stand". If you didn't know what that was, it's basically a battle spirit from the anime jojo's bizarre adventure

[@CusterdCrange]

2:55 well then, thank god he forgets LMAO

[@larsthemartian9554]

11:31 you could argue that the explosion cartoonishly flung them outta the scene Team Rocket style based on Aqua and Cinderella looking up, but yeah it's not super clear lol

[@NuVanDibe]

regarding the sora's sacrifice segment: I haven't played KH3 yet so IDK if this ever gets addressed, but he in fact accomplished in that moment what herc did to become a "true" hero, and yet he keeps getting treated not as such throughout the series

[@Leonkennedy19992]

The darkest part was in KH2 when pete asks sora and friends where is maglificent. Sora, donald, and goofy just burst out laughing to tell pete that they killed magnificent in KH2

[@Ominvus]

What about the inner crisis of someone being created and question their existence, i.e. Xion and Replica Riku. Or the questioning of someone's own loyalty to their friends or to their new friends. That is kinda dark that someone has to choose between 2 people. And no, I am not talking about the conflict at the beginning with Sora and Riku. I am talking about Lea. The pain that he had to go through to either fight to save Xion and Roxas or to fight to help Isa. Also, don't forget about the concept of having a heart existing and not having a hearts and still existing. More of someone question who are they really? Plus there is the idea of leaving someone somewhere to die after doing harm to them.

[@guillermochaconpoveda7085]

8:58 I'm glad we agree on what Riku's title is supposed to be

[@youssefa.2251]

11:28 That's so grim. I thought the bomb made them send flying away to the sky Team Rocket style because of the way Cinderella and aqua turned their heads and looked up simultaneously to make it seem they flew away because they would be too bored to animate it xD

[@erikofskullisland3987]

KH1 with Donald and Goofy leaving you was rough. But yeah, Sora stabbing his own heart was the climax of that sequence.

[@SuperPandaKisser]

Don't forget the fact that Old Man Xehanort dabbled in human sacrifice/magic rituals and testing people for "research"and Terranort frequently participated in human experimentation, ya know, just casually dark.

[@Wikloe]

Literally none of these are "too far". Moments like these are what keep me and many others in this series full of goofy disney worlds and sora singing mermaid songs.

[@deepmind5318]

Birth by sleep and chain of memories had characters mention the words hell and damn but were later removed in later versions. Probably because Disney didn't play their own game until it was too late.

[@ryanmann5497]

I am 32 and have been playing these games since they came out and the scene where sora sacrifices himself to wake up kairi still brings a tear to my eye

[@AdiG1]

Fun fact: the death of Lady Tremaine and her daughters was really hilarious. Hoisted by their own petard

[@ghouldash9761]

I don't think any video game ending depressed me like Birth by Sleep did. Aqua really should've just regrouped and kept Ven safe.

[@DPSS927]

Being honest, Roxas entire life is basically just a carroussel of horrors if you put even a little thought into it. And I'm honestly kind of offended he didn't even get a mention. The things my boy went through during both Days and KH2 is both the stuff of nigthmares AND actual psychological torture. Don't even get me started on all the dehumanizing that people put him through. That's some messed up stuff.

Sometimes you can tell how much fun someone had making a thumbnail....
