[@MANJYOMETHUNDER111]

Aqua: "You've seen me too weak, too often. Now it's MY turn to shine." Loses

[@axceljulio5747]

To be fair, Sora said that she hasn't recovered yet at this point. So it's not surprising that she lost.

[@KingIshimaru]

To be super fair, it looks like she was kicking his ass until he tried shooting Ven to make her drop her guard to defend him. Vanitas has gotten his butt kicked by Aqua enough times he's probably learned not to fight fair against her if he can help it.

[@lukethefluke7]

She just walked off a dark firaga after this fight, yeah she got knocked out by it first but did it to shield Ven.

[@ryancarson6962]

KingIshimaru Still it was a horribly stupid way to lose, doesn’t she have REFLECT? Why the heck is she taking a fire ball to the face when you can just throw it back? Though the only reason she probably lost was because the plot demanded it.

[@hellatze]

@@KingIshimaru i dont care about fairness. She lose. The result matter.

[@sakonan4883]

Haley Joel definitely had fun voicing Vanitas lol. He sounds like he's trying really hard to be a snake lmao

[@jasonnguyen5663]

I think he sounds like Jerome after he got revived. Especially the scratchy voice he does in this game. I think he did that to try to differenciate further between Sora and Vanitas.

[@sakonan4883]

Jason Nguyen lol yeah. I think it’s to show how venomous Vanitas is, especially in this game because it’s not just a change of voice but also acting itself. He sounds much more malicious in this game

[@KtotheJ524]

Actually hael joel osment said that its easier voicing vanitas than voicing sora because its pretty much his normal voice. However the studio had to mod vanitas voice to sound more sinister and modded sora's voice to sound more youthful as they could get.

[@matthewy2j]

Sounds like Haley Joel doing a Mark Hamill impression.

[@sakonan4883]

matthewy2j speaking of Mark Hamill, Haley Joel might be doing a Master Xehanort impression though because Vanitas is a Xehanort vessel and Xigbar’s voice is starting to sound like he’s imitating Leonard Nimoy lol, which makes sense because both Vanitas and Xigbar are probably becoming more and more Xehanort

[@Wolvenworks]

you know, for a decade-long-coma-person, Ven sure has a great hairstyle.

[@claireaquos6532]

Well, time stop for him, so...

[@AyEmEl]

@@claireaquos6532 Where do the games mention time is at a still for Ventus? It makes sense, considering neither he nor Aqua have aged at all, but I don't remember an excuse being made for him. I know that there is no concept of time in the realm of darkness. Was there something special about the room he was in or..? Also for Terra. Maybe *he* was lost to darkness, but Xehanort was using his body, so shouldn't he have technically been aging? It's like giving up and repenting to our lorde and saviour Light-Kun 10 years later gives everyone a free pass.

[@DLxxx]

Yeah, that fight was the worst! Ironically, it was his near death experience with Aqua in that fight that likely led him to pulling the stunt he did here, lol. I really wish their past conflicts actually got resolved, but no one *really* wins in this fight, Vanitas just kinda decides to be under-handed and end the fight by going after Ventus (which doesn't exactly prove anything other than that he was losing, so it's an empty victory that I can't really appreciate either way). I guess it was better than taking another L, but he could've just ran away and probably lost less dignity.

[@ohboy8029]

I know this isn't related to this battle but there's this light novel or something that portrays vanitas in a tragic light: Acc. to it, vanitas used to want ventus but they cannot be kept with each other since vanitas is hurting ventus. That's one of the reasons why ventus was sent to be cared by master eraqus. During their time apart vanitas felt lonely without Ventus and was jealous that ven could be happy while he wasn't. since the negativity came from him, the unversed start appearing, vanitas tried to kill them but not without experiencing the pain since they are part of him, he continued this self destructive behavior for somd time until he collapsed. ; that's where master xehanort told him about the X-blade and he would be complete with ven through it. That explains his obssession with the X-blade and how he desperately wants to fuse with Ven. He's one sad dude if you look at that source material tbh

[@christophersanchez7731]

The Power of Waking seem to be linked to Dream Eaters, as they defend people from Nightmares and devour the malevolent Spirits Riku gained Dream Eater powers and was able to awaken Sora from slumber at end of DDD Sora and Riku awakened worlds lost in slumber by unsealing the Sleeping Keyholes, which unsealing 7 fully develop the Power of Waking Sora as result of those adventures, may have been close or actually succeeded in gaining Dream Eater powers too, but the Organization nearly turning him into a Dark Vessel made him forget all his skills from that adventure His KH 3 adventure was to rebuild his lost power and gain new skills Him adventuring, helping others and bonding with them, and fighting Heartless was the training he needed to regain his lost strength Yes Sora may have the skill all along, but he needed time to rebuild his lost strength to be able to do it Ventus simply told him he was ready to use it

[@DLxxx]

This, 10000% So glad someone finally said it, lol. If Sora went from being weaker than Maleficent, Hades, and Pete at the beginning of the game, to as strong as he is by the end of the game, then it makes no logical sense that a Keyblade Master who's been fighting canonically buffed(stronger than normal) heartless for over 10 YEARS gets *weaker* than before.

[@Gamelover254]

Aqua was SUPER nerfed in this game it’s not even funny. Why did she not put a BARRIER around herself and deflect his attack. She also could’ve attacked him before he could shoot the wall again but NOPE, gotta have some reason for Aqua to be almost killed and for Ven to wake up :/ Goddamn. Aqua’s only moment to shine in the whole game and it’s completely robbed from her.

This’ll be the 4th time he gets his shit handed to him by Aqua. I honestly kinda wish before he faded away, Aqua gave him a sort of triumphant smirk or something cause honestly, I like the rivalry between Aqua & Vanitas more than Ven & Vanitas.

[@dragonking5767]

She only lost because she protected ven

[@DLxxx]

True, and there was really no point in making her lose anyway. It didn't help Vanitas' character, it robbed Aqua of her only moment to shine, and it resulted in cheap, momentary drama that added nothing.

[@Gamelover254]

It was necessary for Aqua to he in danger to give Ven the motivation to free himself. Though it was pretty much a repeat of what happened when he unfroze himself to save Aqua in BBS...saving her from Vanitas...in the exact same position... They could have come up with a better way to do it. I agree this was Aqua’s time to shine and it was sort of robbed from her.

[@DLxxx]

@@Gamelover254 Thing is, Ven was going to get restored anyway. Sora just, for some reason, neglected to tell Aqua that Ventus' heart was within him when they met, and he didn't mention the power of waking, so she was confused as to why Ventus was even still asleep upon arrival. What Sora does to release Ventus' already awakened heart (the power of waking) could have still happened even if Vanitas lost his battle with Aqua. We see him (Sora) physically release Ven's heart with his own power, and nothing in this scene really implied that Ventus needed to be *provoked* before he could be released. That was never stated to be a requirement to use the power of waking, so the logic just doesn't have a strong foundation in my eyes. And yeah, glad we can agree they did Aqua dirty here either way.

[@NaomiTCOOKIES]

And plot. They needed some way to get Ven to take action

[@soul6733]

You know how they could have made this scene better? Make everything the same except that when Vanitas shoot firaga towards Ventus, Aqua actually reflect it. But while the smoke of the attack is surrounding her, Vanitas sneak behind her and attack her from behind. The rest play the same. There. Fixed.

[@DreamOfTheRebel]

Why did they nerf Aqua so much in this game? Sora easily defeats her anti form, she gets taken out by Vanitas when she has easily defeated him in the past, she is too slow to prevent Terranort from hurting Ven and she just gives up when the demon tide overtakes her. For someone who single handedly defeated Venitas, Terranort and spent more than a decade in the realm of darkness, they did her real dirty in this game.

[@DLxxx]

This 1000%

[@Gamelover254]

The explanation is that her time in the Realm of Darkness weakened her slightly & she didn’t have time to recover after being saved but I’m still calling a bit of bullshit. Every character in this game besides Sora was practically useless. It unfortunately succumbed to DBZ syndrome. Characters who were once strong are now made weak just to make the main protagonist seem stronger.

[@DLxxx]

@@Gamelover254 Really, the problem with the explanation they use is that it's entirely contradictory to Sora's own growth in power within this game. At the beginning of Kh3 he was stated to be weaker than Pete, Maleficent, and Hades. So much so that they were mocking him for it. How does a "Keyblade Master" who spends *years* fighting in the RoD against what were canonically stated to be much stronger heartless than those in the RoL, get weaker? It's especially hard to swallow when you look at just how quickly Sora grows in power over kh3 alone (not that much time at all), and most of his abilities appearing without any explanation to them.

[@Gamelover254]

DarkWhirlwind88 Oh believe me I’m not defending that explanation at all. Aqua’s my favorite character and I was sad to see her treated this way.

[@carlosagp8430]

Well you know that it has been always like "light wins against darkness" so Sora could win that battle, but come on, Aqua had already defeated terranort and vanitas in the past, why did terranort almost trashed them alone? Only to make Sora important in the battle.

If there's a clear message in Kingdom Hearts is that arrogancy always leads to demise. When Riku said "my heart's strong", he got possessed. When Aqua said "my heart's strong. I'll prove it." she ended up getting consumed by the darkness. When she said "It's my turn to shine", Vanitas wiped the floor with her and almost assassinated her. After Sora made fun of Young Xehanort's advices, he ended up vanishing from his world. It's such a cliché at this point because of how many times it's been used in the series, but I love the message it gives.

[@rexwest4532]

Vanitas didn't win. Aqua literally took a triple firaga for ventus. She washed vanitas multiple times in bbs.

[@Cloud-dt6xb]

Call it cliche if you want it's still a valid part of Aqua's personaility, her refusing to ask for help is her biggest flaw and what lead her to falling into the realm of darkness in the first place. After hiding Ven she should've asked Mickey to help her look for Terra, if he had been there she could've been saved. It's tragic what happened to her but it was her own fault. All three of the trio had vices that lead to their horrible fates and she's no different.

[@christophersanchez7731]

Aqua’s defense for losing is her still recovering and is still weakened, maybe even lost some strength after Anti-Aqua’s destruction While it seems Vanitas is even more powerful than he was in BBS as it seems being in a Replica vessel and having a portion of Master Xehanort’s heart made him stronger than before It might have been different if Aqua was at full strength as she spent a decade fighting heartless in the Realm of Darkness where they’re even stronger than the ones in the real world, and she beaten Terranort before being trapped before

[@FluppietheRockruffFan]

Not to mention Data Vanitas is the canon version of what Sora and the others fought against, so Vanitas has all powers of Vanitas Remnant

[@digitaladventurer2142]

Yeah Sora asked if she wanted to go recover with Riku and Mickey first so she was still recovering. Honestly I think even weakened she was still winning which is why Vanitas started using cheap moves like going after Ven's body.

[@nikiardo]

She didn't beat Terranort. Watch the cutscenes again.

[@santetzuken8903]

I disagree. Aqua "lost" to vanitas because vanitas is playing dirty by threatening ventus' unconscious body. Aqua clearly won this fight and could've easily finished vanitas off if vanitas didn't use ventus as a hostage/distraction.

@all of the kingdom heart characters honestly Body type respect just isn't a thing on most games And in the few where there are chunky beans they are over exaggerated to be less apealling Honestly The gerudo in LoZ BoTW are so cute That Is doing body types right But even then The ladies are all mostly one body type The gerudo ladies are as close as it gets to having more body types But Hey At least it's not anime girl bodies So it's slowly improving Still aqua is cool

As a person who is mid level skilled ast KH, I was pleasantly surprised how dominant it was to play as Aqua, wish there was the option to play as different characters

[@gavinholley2576]

You can play as riku,Roxas,aqua,kairi, and Mickey during certain fights in the kh3 remind dlc

Nice

[@gavinholley2576]

Any hints for data Roxas?

[@Mr._Sherwood]

In all seriousness this game desperately needed more moments like this where you can play as other characters from the series. And, y'know, this really should've happened after, like, 4 or maybe 6 Disney worlds so there was some story between all the BUY OUR MERCH. Surely they could've come up with another excuse apart from the Power of Waking to romp around the other worlds.

Play as Aladdin, Ariel, Hercules and other.

@Yukheis Fanboy 8 + an entire graveyard's worth

[@AyEmEl]

@Yukheis Fanboy The graveyard predates prophecy, I mean- It is a result of the war that kicked things off as far as lore goes.. I can only imagine a Keyblade can be used by anyone with strong convictions, whether they be of light or dark, but the uniqueness of the Keyblade is in the ability to master it, which I imagine requires an even greater power or strength of heart. Kingdom Hearts (the game's lore) kind of botched it's lore by making a lot of assumptions in the very first game. At first it was always "Sora's the Keyblade Master! He's the *one* who will restore the balance!", but halfway through that very same game, they established that there can be more than one keyblade wielder,(Riku and Mickey) and then further down the line they made a turn and said "Oh, yeah, no.. You can swing one around, but there's a difference between that and *mastering* it.". Which is why I'm fairly certain a majority of those keyblades at the graveyard belonged to merely strong hearted people whose conviction was to claim the power of Kingdom Hearts.(The light) It's confirmed that the Keyblade was originally built for that purpose, after all. So, see? It wasn't meant to be prophetic, but *after* the worlds fell, it became that one light would save the worlds.. It just so happen that *Sora's* light touched the hearts of most everyone around him, and of those, the strongest would share in the destiny that is becoming a Guardian of Light. I know it barely makes sense, but that's the convuluted plot of Kingdom Hearts in a nutshell, and it's through that explanation that I can somewhat redeem the Keyblade's quality of being "unique", but it's more like "The heart of a keyblade *master* is unique", and not so much the keyblade itself.

Damn Vanitas really takes his sweat time killing someone. You'd think he'd learn after a decade

He's a sadist, what were you expecting?

[@Chadlton]

Being able to fight as Aqua in KHIII was probably my favorite part of the whole game. But then... she is my favorite. "Sigh" good times.

Aqua hugging Ventus, and about to kiss him till Vanitas show up with the NOPE!! YOU SHALL SUFFER!!

[@thehighwayman3122]

"I am your reckoning", would be an appropriate phrase.

[@johnsantos507]

No, she didn't.

[@CmdrVoltaire]

Vanitas is Haley Joel Osmont doing a Steve Blum impression.

[@SaotomeKun97]

And in some time, modders would enter the scene, adding Vanitas' random afterimage and teleport counterattack, the shadow clones from his lingering will battle, the dark jaws attack that darkens the whole screen, his Dark Splicer.... and add Aqua's Magic Hour, Teleport Spike...

[@quokka1831]

I was lowkey screaming when aqua going for venitus ass because she is such a savage and my favorite keyblade master

[@Zellig]

That ending counter you did was epic.

[@Sumo-wy5wb]

I think it’s cute when Ventus shouts “AQUA!” When he awakens to attack Vanitus.

[@terrance3218]

Vanitas is Sora had Sora committed to the same physical regiment as Riku. In short, Vanitas is a swole Sora. All these years and Sora is still skinny.

[@LightSkye]

Honestly, I after only playing as Sora and Riku at this point((and barely Riku, he kinda got the shaft after 3DS with a whole two segments), the game full on letting you play as Aqua,, the protagonist of BBS and 0.2 hit me hard, and showing off her moves from them was so nice. Still annoyed Vanitas beat her, damn she should have bodied him but I get Ven needing a cool appearance.

[@joseferrerjr2710]

Dude, the battle music is amazing and catchy

I don’t like vanitas has a deeper grouchier voice now Haley did it perfectly In bbs it was a perfect “evil sora” voice now it just doesn’t sound right (specially during his fight in the graveyard)

[@loganbigmo]

It's been nine years. Voice changes happen.

[@loganbigmo]

@Brendan Milburn Vanitas sounded nothing like Sora to begin with though.

[@brimstoneclub]

I'm okay with it. Osment had fun voicing Vanitas this time around, you can tell just by the cutscenes. Aqua, on the other hand, sounded flat except for the one line "Good morning, Ven".

[@platinumvoid1648]

I agree, but it was to be expected.

[@kitkat5596]

I really like his new voice, the deep raspyness of it sends shivers down my spine.

[@shutup1037]

It's good that we can use several keyblade wielders

[@BB-nm6oz]

I haven't finished yet, but I hope the dlc will let you switch out sora for aqua or riku. It just sucks that so far you can only play them at select times. That's why I loved bbs

[@hexendyru-237]

The TRUE RAGE is the one which you can crack the bossfight barrier with!

[@maxi15]

So, when Ventus was talking about his "second chance" was that a reference to KH Union Cross (or whatever they renamed it)?

[@dreonthetube24]

"now it's my turn to shine" Perfect chance for some real passion in these lines and Aqua's VA falls flatter than aqua did losing this fight.

[@thelairofthedemongod]

so, Sora's Voice actor makes Vanitas too, and Aqua's Voice sounds more soft that in Birth by Sleep/Final Mix

[@Bravidunno]

Damn Vanitas got loads of HP after what I've seen in BBS. Also, he screams like Peter Pan does in BBS when you knock him up. Aqua got pummeled by a fireball instead of parrying with a barrier.
