Kingdom Hearts 101 - PCP University Lecture

[@ThatOneGuy0006]

The 13 darknesses don't have to be the same person, but Xehanort was failed so many times that he just said "Fuck it, I'll do it all by myselves!".

[@dracocrusher]

So simple question: If the Ninetails is evil, then does that mean that Naruto could just use Shadow Clones to become the 13 darknesses and just fight like seven other clones of himself that aren't as douchy to do the thing that Xehonort took an entire lifetime, time travel, and a fuckload of games to accomplish?

[@billvolk4236]

So if I'm hearing this right, there have been four different known methods of getting into Kingdom Hearts/getting the keeeeeeeeeyblade: the thing Xehanort did in Birth by Sleep where you pit pure light against pure darkness, the thing Ansem did in KH1 with the princesses, the thing Xemnas did in KH2 where you get a bunch of hearts together and break a hole into Kingdom Hearts, and the 7-vs.-13 thing in 3D. Why have none of the different Xehanorts tried any of these plans more than once? Do you only get one shot for each one? Even if you do, this guy can time travel, so he can get any number of do-overs that way.

[@MugenHeadNinja]

The only time the True Kingdom Hearts appeared was the BBS event, what Ansem had was just the Door to Darkness, and the one in KH2 was an incomplete Kingdom Hearts. So Xehanort's two plans are the only currently known methods of getting True Kingdom Hearts. I don't know much about the Chi and the other version other than the one of 0.2, so there might be a third method that I don't know of.

[@sparkytepig]

@@billvolk4236 Forging the 'X'-Blade is the only confirmed method of evoking Kingdom Hearts. Pitting a being of pure light (Ventus) against a being of pure darkness (Vanitas) was simply another method of forging it; however, it was incomplete and unstable. Ansem, Seeker of Darkness using the seven princesses of light to open the Door to Darkness merely revealed a minor 'Kingdom Hearts' that was manufactured from the hearts of worlds. Xemnas using Sora, Roxas, and Xion to slaughter hundreds/thousands of Heartless released enough stray hearts to be 'duct-taped' together in order to manufacture a make-shift 'Kingdom Hearts'. 7 Guardians of Light fighting against 13 Vessels of Darkness is the confirmed method of forging the 'X'-Blade. Why the Xehanorts tried these methods only once is because only one method actually works. That's why he uses time-travel twice (Dream Drop Distance & KH:3) for two separate attempts to assemble 13 Vessels of Darkness that can fight the 7 Guardians of Light.

I think this video perfectly explains why people say (incorrectly) that the story of kingdom hearts is confusing. The story itself isn't complex, but the problem is that people try to explain things out of order. This series absolutely must be played in order of release, otherwise you don't have the small details that are important. Even in this explanation he keeps forgetting small details that end up being important later.

You people, the biological needs are not of a concern. Obviously I understand why he drinks water. Its the immense visual buildup and him getting tantalizing close to drinking to only get distracted, when finally committing to the action after several minutes of teasing the payoff is incredible dissatisfying. AKA I'm autistic

[@sensibility1174]

The professor needs to learn to drink from a glass without slurping air down with it as at 4:55 and 5:20. This individual, like many born since c.1990, was probably brought up on glugging from a bottle, so he's used to having a seal around his mouth when he drinks. With a glass you have to actually tilt the glass carefully and pout your lips to provide a spout for the water to enter the oral cavity without spillage. It's a relatively advanced technique. Sucking the water from the rim of the glass leads to the ingestion of air along with the water which then leads to the inconvenient and sometimes painful or embarrassing experiences consequent to air entering the gut, i.e. to trapped wind, as at 6:10. Especially for any public speaking appointment it's crucial to be able to drink water competently from a traditional drinking vessel. Absolutely crucial. There's no way this professor and his amateurish hydration methods would get tenure in my department. No way.

I have been a huge KH fan my entire life and know the series insanely well, and have watched many videos of people discussing the series, and this has to be my favorite one. On KZbin, there is a lot of original content but the originality in this video is so interesting. Having a lecture was just such a fun way to explain the KH series, and the way the professor (idk his name) explained it was so funny but also well spoken. He had to be on track for 3 hours which is insanely hard to do. Furthermore, I loved the audience members because they offered very good questions while also really enjoying their time in the lecture. I think this is one of the most original videos I have ever seen on KZbin and I am amazed that me and so many others were able to sit through the entire 3 hours.

It makes it simple too, because Coded and 358/2 just become cutscene movie things, so you don't actually have to play em'. That is basically all you need.

I think you missed that when Vanitas/Ventus was defeated, the Chi-blade split into 20 parts. 13 pieces of darkness, and 7 pieces of light. That's why there must be 13 seekers of darkness and 7 warriors of light.

[@aguywithgames3135]

Due to that version of X-blade being forged from a heart full of light and a heart full of darkness, it didn’t shatter to pieces, it was absolutely destroyed (since Aqua beat Ven-Vanitas to unconsciousness), it wasn’t the original X-blade, that one was from the war.

[@Flevir]

AGuyWithGames Precisely, and since that imperfect version didnt work Xehanort decided to revise his plans and instead of making another "fake" X-Blade he decided to try and reforge the original.

[@arcaneous1]

And there's another small thing in the series that was not touched on in the video, but keyblades, or keychains, can, indeed, be forged and powered up through synthesis. Hence, the Ultima Weapon. It may be in-game lore, but it should be considered when thinking about all of these fucking keyblades that make their way into the games randomly. So, Xehanort is essentially forming the X-blade using a similar method to synthesis, but he's using much more powerful and canonically correct materials, 13 pieces of darkness, and 7 pieces of light.

[@aguywithgames3135]

arcaneous1 You only forge Ultima Weapon’s keychain, but you’re not wrong. It’s been stated that they were all forged in the image of the original X-blade (which to this day, has never been seen, unless the X-blade Ven-Van had actually looked like the original). Though I’m not sure if Xehanorts plan is what he wants, he’s making his own 13 pure darknesses, yet we never knew what happened to the actual 13, where the original pieces went.

You can't have edgy Nomura teens pairing up with fucking Goofy and not have a sense of humor about everything. It actually reminds me a bit of Rocky Horror fans.

I've been sitting on this toilet for 3 hours now

[@buttertoast1146]

Don't forget to wipe

[@ChaosLierLen]

Ten minutes in, this seems like a real concern.

[@Boomerangofjustice]

While the story does get completely bonkers later on, there's still a lot of really clever storytelling and character moments that still make it pretty good, albeit extremely confusing. Except time travel. Fuck.

[@fightingmedialounge519]

Eh, agree to disagree.

[@anceledusstorm7534]

The fact that people have to do these break downs explaining this convoluted maze of a narrative is awesome and i love this. But this also proves that nomura was on that good shit back in the day

[@elfangelic]

Some things you said were incorrect, but this is still definitely one of the most entertaining videos I've ever watched.

[@CGoody564]

I just finished this entire lecture, have been playing these games ever since 2001, and gotta say, good job. Lots of content to cover, good explanations, and damn do you know how to give out a demerit!!

[@OmegaLittleBob]

Can I get a print of that white board? .....I'm dead serious

[@Hailix4240]

Same

[@castielwinchester1869]

I need more PCP University lectures. It's so much more fun with everyone heckling and questioning than just one person explaining in a vid.

[@JerryFlowersIII]

2:12 at night I finally finished this. I religiously fallow the series as well and I interpret some detail different but this has also cleared up a good amount for me, especially what i'd forgotten.

[@lukeshef1713]

Geoff showing up just in time to continue Simple and Clean was such a beautiful moment.

[@evalange4626]

Never played the games; only reason I know the words to simple & clean and sing it as often as I do is because of this goddam lecture.

[@ultispidey99]

Regular lecture: loses concentration the first 5 minutes. This: ..just 3 hours? where is the rest of it?

[@ohheckitsthatkid7364]

I love these lectures I show them to my buddies, please do more.

[@RDillonD]

I've been playing through these in chronological order (bbs, 1, etc) and it's great listening to someone else talk about the craziness that I just witnessed. Played all the games at launch, but didn't fully follow the story cause of course, so some stuff was still fun wacky surprises.

[@ArcaneKeyblade]

Great video man! :) dont know if I could sit there and teach some people the entirety of the story, or even get them to sit through it, but their were a few things that were slightly wrong just thought I would point them out for you to know. -The 7 Lights and 13 Darknesses comes from the X-blade being destroyed and breaking into 7 pieces of light and 13 Darkness -The X symbol on Sora in DDD was placed on by the hooded Ansem SOD when they first enter DI. -Riku looks like ASOD in KH2 because he uses and allows for darkness to take him over in order to capture Roxas. -Aqua and Terra put Riku and Kairi (accidentally when she touches her keyblade, not through the charm) through the Keyblade ceremony explaining why they are able to use keyblades it doesn't give them their Keyblade when they die and this in general is how everyone is able to use a Keyblade too. (Other than Sora, Roxas, and Xion) -Also the Keyblade formed from the princesses of light would only work completely and would only reveal the keyhole to Kingdom Hearts with all 7 princess of light, the keyblade was still able to be formed with 6 lights. -The light from the DTD is technically Kingdom Hearts or one version of Kingdom Hearts, not just light, this is only one version of KH and not (technically) the real version. KH has been formed 3 different ways in the series KH1 with the hearts of Worlds KH2 with the hearts of Heartless BBS with the clashing of One light and One Darkness of about the same power or nature Not specified so far if we have truly seen the real KH yet, it is more believed the the KH in BBS is the true one. Yea I know in the end what does it matter, just thought you might care, but like you, I for some reason threw myself into the convoluted story and I do love it, but yea sadly only the numbered games and maybe COM and BBS are worth playing, and as a whole I feel like after KH3, Nomura (as the god he is) will make a much more competent story, as just as for the Legend of Korra, he was kind of thrown around in wondering whether he would get another game or not and this led to him not being able to make this series of games without a bunch of retcon and convoluted BS like timetravel. Past 3 though I have confidence. Nonetheless great video again! :)

[@DB1Dragoon]

TLoK is trash sadly.

[@marran911119]

We're back!

[@Grayhound1102]

We need a real kingdom hearts 102! Love this series

[@TheSweetpoonanner]

To this day, this lecture remains excellent. I love how it's only about an hour of plot explanation and then two hours of "But wait...*insert question*". Also, best line is "I've keeping tabs on that 'everyone is Sora and Xehanort' the whole time."

[@MagoDSnowman]

Holy shit this is long! And stupid... I love it

[@Jonadiah13]

[@hbod5608]

Magoloso That was my reaction to Kingdom Hearts.

[@cringusbingus6147]

That “would Elliot Rodger be a heartless?” Discussion was very good.

[@180223]

The blasphemy is strong in Digi

[@tacosalvapor9264]

Damn straight.

[@CGoody564]

weirdy8 taste being subjective confirmed; weirdy8's comment confirmed objectively false. And let's be real; that intro is dog shit in most people's opinions, including fans.

[@dracocrusher]

Of course Digi'd be the one with shit tastes, lol. Of course he took 30 tries to do shit. He's effing Digi, it should kind-of be expected by now.

[@lunasperidot8760]

dracocrusher who's digi?

[@zedbraun6498]

astounded by the humor and effort in this please do more

[@jpatel0398]

I think with this I finally understand what makes Kingdom Hearts' brand of convolution so unique, which is that the consistency of the lore can only be described as FRAGILE Like, any event of coincidence can set off a chain reaction in this universe that births different levels of retcon, i.e. Sora being born the same time as Ventus gets cut somehow lets him sleep in Sora's heart??????

[@Alphabeta824]

You deserve my like harder than anything else on youtube for the sheer volume of this endeavor

[@valkyriefandango252]

Never played these games before but this vid was dope man.

[@PBCollects]

I wish kingdom hearts was way more complex and long so this lecture could be longer. Absolutley in love with this.

[@Agumame]

At the end when Nate claims that Marlucia wont be back in 3... hahahaha you underestimate Nomura

[@SkyTowerKurogane]

I can't count how many times I've watched this lecture. This is some kind of art.

[@Robersora]

2:11:38 - all you need to know.

[@CGoody564]

Robersora wish I knew the timestamp, but there's one more thing... "By of age, I mean they're 13 year old children". All I needed to know

I swear Nomura gets off on making this series more convoluted than it needs to be.

[@samadams8533]

What was the conversation you had with your friends to convince them to let you lecture them on kingdom hearts for a literal 3 hours

[@Arexion5293]

All of my favourite weaboos in the same room talking about Kingdom Hearts. This is the best thing ever.

[@Spooky_Biscuits]

Needed to brush up before I get my hands on KH3 tomorrow (never played most of the games other than 1 or 2), and this was absolutely wonderful. Thank you

[@sangheili333]

[@johnguidoiv6431]

I listen to this all the time. Idk what is going on but I love it

[@wyattthewordweaver1992]

55:50 I believe that Vexen was the one behind creation of the Riku replica and later Xion.

[@lunasperidot8760]

Wyatt The Word Weaver he was

[@protomenfan200x]

Can't believe 1:52:07 isn't included on the lesson plan, haha. I mean, he turned his KEYBLADE into a CAR!!

[@VAB419]

Dude. This is now one of my favorite things on KZbin. I listened to it while working, occasionally looking at my phone to see the class lecture and brILLIANT visual aid with my own eyes. I didn't even know you liked KH before this, now I see ima fuckin fool and you're the fuckin master. This interactive lecture format thing was hilarious and engaging as fuck, I laughed a lot and learned a lot tbh. Best video ever, Best Guy Ever. Thanks.

[@ethanchapin5904]

The production value of this video is top notch. Not only does it have its funny moments, but also is informative, well thought-out, and doesn't sound like it's being given by someone with no more than a high school education. Well done my friend!

[@poppag8281]

I can tell Digibro dident really give a shit during certin parts lol great video by the way

[@Sitruk86]

quick little thing, Terra didn't will his specific keyblade to Riku when he went to destiny island, he just granted Riku the ability to summon A keyblade. same thing with Aqua to Kairi. Sora doesn't have the ability, because it was never granted to him. if he never sucked up Ventas' heart he never would have had a keyblade and Riku would have been the main character.

[@calemr]

Another explanation for "How come Nobodies show emotion a bunch of times, even when they're on their own or only around other Nobodies?" is: They all totally can feel emotions. Xemnas just went "Hey, you know that happiness you felt? Not real. REAL happiness is totally better than that, and I can give you hearts if you just do everything I say and help me with my heart collecting plan that TOTALLY ends with giving you guys hearts, and not sacrificing you all for power or anything like that." and they all just believed him. King Mickey, too.

[@kbrxion5620]

Xemnas true power wasn't lasers or glass, it was the power to gaslight.
