[@TheSecretReports]

Thank you everyone for waiting patiently ♥ If I see any frequently asked questions in the comments, I’ll answer them here to save me from repeating myself ;)

[@ventusdestinyislands]

Happy to see you're back😁

[@madisons9783]

The quality in this is unbelievable! The content, editing, and graphics. Very talented. Great job!

[@machine1685]

The overall quality of these videos blew me away the first time I saw them. I hadn't seen anything like them in the community.

[@shumailahmad6145]

This feels like the beginning lecture of a course at uni :D I'm ready to learn!!!

[@spacey_mikey]

I think it's the other way around: it's not that being a portal lets Xehanort transcend space-time, it's the fact that he CAN that makes him a portal

[@friendlyandroid]

I'm super excited! This game has confused me too know end.

[@Hxyuffycucufuuf]

Really going above and beyond here, cant wait to see what you have in store for us!

[@ankurbhaskar4634]

Nice! I recently beat DDD a second time, this time in 2.8, after having finished KH3, and tried to pay close attention to that part in particular when YX said that to Riku, but it wasn’t very clear to me either. Hope this series helps with that! Also, I spotted some Lucky Emblems on the bottom left throughout the video. ;D

[@filthyshrek101bc2]

Yeah ddd isn't mentioned that much in kh3.

[@jacksoningram4314]

1. how is everything you create so beautiful 2. as someone who loves DDD, but is perpetually confused by DDD, i'm extremely hyped for this

[@CHEESEPUFF_7]

Wooooooooo You've uploaded again! I can't wait to watch it!

[@AchicoXion]

The quality level of your videos is so high...! The editing, the way you speak, everything! I am so thankful I found your channel 💖

[@nah4437]

I’m so excited for this 😊 Keep up the good work! :D

[@theburlapchap3644]

i love the editing!

[@elidz5355]

This gonna be great. there is so much to uncover in DDD. You are really such a great service to the community. I hope you know how much you are appreciated.

[@AlphaOblivion7]

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos! Most of my friends that like KH don't pay enough attention and miss lots of little details, so these videos are very helpful

[@raymond-reviews]

I’m so happy your back

[@fauxsynder]

Really looking forward to this series!! Keep up the great work!

[@maxorigmvs5451]

This series sounds awesome!

[@SuperSpikeGhettiBros]

Love This! Too many people are entirely confused by DDD's plot.(Myself included!) Looking forward to the rest of the series!

[@TheEclipsedLock]

>Possible ways DDD connects to UX That made laugh out loud given what we know now (2 years later) of UX's ending

[@lerougeun4099]

Two video ! Wow ! Let' watch them !

[@LatentAxis]

finally a new video! Been looking forward to it! :D

[@nickykingdomonlover2]

Finally someone is talking about this I was constantly putting together all the bits from this game. There is so much here that is really important.

[@rizengansenpai8433]

My thoughts on Xehanort being a portal sounds a little different than yours. I don't think that him being a portal is what allows him to transcend time and space - rather, I think him being able to transcend time and space is what allows him to be a portal. Sort of like the opposite of cause and effect. We learned in DDD that he cast his heart from his body, which gave him the ability to travel through time, so that would be how/when he becomes able to "transcend time and space". Then he uses this ability to go through time. The part about being a "portal" becomes even more apparent because Master Xehanort gifted Young Xehanort with this power, then used Young Xehanort to literally act as a portal to physically transport the other Organization Members to their meeting place at the end of the game. Anyway, just sharing my two cents on the matter. Love the videos,and I look forward to seeing more of your content!

[@rizengansenpai8433]

Also, if it helps, we see in KHUx that Maleficent also uses time travel (that she learned from Xehanort) after having her heart released in KH1. Interestingly enough, Riku and Sora also had their hearts released from their bodies in KH1. I believe that is why Yensid was able to send them back in time at the beginning of DDD. So theoretically, Sora and Riku could also be portals and transcend space and time, though they don't have the knowledge and magic that Master Xehanort does.

[@TheSecretReports]

When does Riku have his heart released in KH1 ?

[@rizengansenpai8433]

@@TheSecretReports it was just after Sora's Sacrifice at Hollow Bastion. Riku resists Ansem so that Kairi and the others can get away, then Ansem casts Riku's heart into the realm of darkness

[@TheSecretReports]

​@@rizengansenpai8433 I could be mistake Rizengan, but I think they may have been later retconned since Riku still had his body in the Realm of Darkness (seen in the FM cutscene of him talking to Mickey's voice), and then Riku closes the door, and later makes his way to Castle Oblivion. There isn't ever a defining moment where he "gets his body back" so I think we can assume that scene of Riku in the RoD IS him in his body, if that makes sense?

[@rizengansenpai8433]

@@TheSecretReports we do see Riku in the RoD with his body, but that should only be after Ansem was defeated. Once Ansem was defeated, Riku got his body back and became whole again. Before that, he should have just been a heart in the Realm of Darkness I was able to dig up the interview of Nomura touching up onthe topic, if you're interested kh-ultimania.livejournal.com/3508.html

[@laith9989]

Wow, this gets me really excited. I’m really looking forward to the series, especially the connections with UX. Those hourglasses around the YMX fight aren’t there for nothing. Nomura HAS to be planning something

[@myrandajo9280]

oh god bless you i’ve been wanting to understand this game more!!

[@gracekim25]

I think Riku’s time in the realm of darkness is meant to be explored in a game at some point too😅

[@alanl.4252]

You are doing God's work with this series, or rather Nomura's work. I skipped over DDD and watched walkthroughs and summary videos of it instead, and maybe that was a mistake who knows. I watched your other videos and am excited to see what else you have in store can't wait!

[@PICADALOL]

Another quality video!

[@giioreviews2372]

Can't wait.

[@rikucentral]

I love your videos!

[@Holzlowski]

I would love to see tutorials for that kind of design you are using xD

[@tytydino]

If you don't mind the way xehanort is able to trencend time and space because of how much he has time traveled idk what exactly that means but that is what I have heard and what I inferred

[@SunnieD_]

"But, if you don't have time to read multiple essays,-" Can't hear you. Proceeding to read everything because I have too much time!

[@xtalongraspx9004]

This makes me feel like I'm not allowed to talk about the videos in DDD you've already made, since you've literally covered everything we want to talk about, and I'm not allowed to post a certain comment about a theory about all of this in one of your DDD videos. It seems like KZbin is censoring or shadow-banning me.

[@apodakdmrz1987]

I miss you!!

[@captianbacon]

Me watching this preamble after the others in the playlist....

[@SGJetPro]

I feel like I’m in school! I’m ready for class :D

[@gracekim25]

I have a suggestion maybe you could explain the time travel part at some point

[@fanart13]

I'm going to put this here because I'm not sure if there's a better place for it. I had a theory before but it's been at odds with the series since 2.8. I don't know how much you want to get into but I'm interested in your thoughts: The connections between Kingdom Key and the X-Blade.

[@TheSecretReports]

I would love to eventually make a theory video about the two! I've been wanting to do a theory video on Apprentice Xehanort, but there are sooo many aspects to talk about, I've been debating on what video about him I should do first. This may be a good place to start! I do think that there's a chance that Mickey was only able to find the Kingdom Key D thanks to Apprentice Xehanort. In KH2, we see a flashback of Mickey talking to Ansem the Wise, asking for advice on a solution to the world's gradually falling to darkness. And then, we see Apprentice Xehanort interrupt the conversation. I think this scene takes place right before KH1's Ansem's Report 9, where Xehanort mentions having conversations with Mickey. Thanks to the Melody of Memory trailer, we know for sure that Apprentice Xehanort himself knew about the ark/lab that we first saw in World Terminus in KH1. So we can suspect that it truly was Xehanort who wrote the passage that Sora reads when we visit that room. And in 0.2, when Mickey finds the Kingdom Key D, he quotes a excerpt of that passage word for word, even having quotations in the subtitles to show that Mickey truly is quoting a specific passage. This is what leads me to believe Mickey learned about the Kingdom Key D from Apprentice Xehanort. And because its implied that overtime Xehanort regained his memories living as MASTER Xehanort (KH3 Report 3), and Master Xehanort himself DEFINITELY knew about Keyblades of Darkness (BbS Report VI), I think that's why Apprentice Xehanort was able to write the passage found in KH1 in the first place. I don't know if Xehanort told Mickey about the Kingdom Key D straight up, or if Mickey only read that passage that Xehanort wrote. But Master Xehanort knowing about the Keyblades of Darkness AND the X-blade, and Apprentice Xehanort writing about the Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D, I absolutely think that is a link we should keep an eye on.

[@fanart13]

I definitely think the information is sound. However, Mickey states that he didn't really know Apprentice Xehanort in KH2, and I would've assumed that Ansem the wise told Mickey instead, perhaps as DiZ. It is also possible that Mickey found the notes after various characters were banished from Radient Garden/Hollow Bastion. What my earlier theory was, was that Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D are two halves of the X-Blade, one corrupted by darkness, due to design (I can go into more detail if you like). However, that isn't as much the case anymore. But what is the significance of Kingdom Key and Kingdom Key D because they both appear out of nowhere (yes I understand D's origin is in 2.8 but it is still a counter part) and seem to have more significance compared to other keyblades.

Ah ye some kh3d love

[@Ren-zg7nu]

DDD is confusing? Is it though? I mean. I could have missed something while refighting Xemnas for the 34th time for both Fun and Karmatic value

[@Stanlyy.]

does someone have the link for the KH3 analysis article?

[@TheSecretReports]

Both my article for DDD, and the Sleeping Realm Theory, should be in the description. Let me know if the links are broken!

Why does the dream eater and heartless emblem look like the symbol on book of profecies

[@TheSecretReports]

So far all emblems in Kingdom Hearts have some resemblance to a standard heart shape with a decorated "point/tail"- Even the Nobody symbol, which is a heart-shape emblem just upside-down.

[@0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0]

"I paused scenes and even rewatched them to really digest them to what it was that they eanted to say" But you know, Kingdom Hearts lore isn't really confusing guys, that's just a thing haters say to give the series a bad rep.
