Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD ReMIX - Master Eraqus Boss Fight [1080p]

[@EmptyMan000]

Master Eraqus was awesome but he presented one important lesson in the Kingdom Heart series. Being on the side of Light doesn't mean you are going to be a good guy. Look at Eraqus. He was a fanatic who believed Darkness needed to be destroyed, and ended up trying to kill his own students as a result. Darkness consumes, but the Light can blind you. It's better to follow Riku's path. A way that uses Light and Dark in balance. The path to Dawn.

[@SlimReaper04]

Well said.

Never understood why people claim Terra killed Eraqus. Don’t get me wrong, he gave the old man a beating, but the final blow was clearly delivered to Eraqus’ back by Xehanort himself.

[@Astrum05]

Some people don't pay attention to cutscenes

[@litrim1285]

You want to hear something funny? When I first saw this scene, seeing him die after saying “My own heart is darkness!”, and how he went down after that, and seeing the dark plume burst from him before he faded? I thought that what finally killed him was that realization, the realization that darkness exists in him, too. That it…well, broke his heart and ended his life. Hmm.

[@Hexalys13]

@@litrim1285 poetic… but also overdramatic! Can you imagine? The worlds are being plagued by dark creatures, his students are at their lowest, and Eraqus is like “Oh god, there’s Darkness in me!?” 😤… “Guess I’ll die then.” ☠️

three friends misled into darkness losing all including their master. How dark can you get in BBS. Kh 2 made me cry because they all made it, Bbs made me cry because they all faded away. Even though they kind of reincarnated in Sora, riku and kairi. Besides the scene with terra and riku was really touching.

[@kairinaminemix]

something that makes BBS one of the best games is we see many firsts. one of them is seeing someone being corrupted by light.

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

It also shows xeanorth knowns light is equally as evil alone , without a balance one currupts you into something like a heartless or it blinds your judgment and makes you do inmoral decision

[@Vigriff]

It would have been better if he had been turned into a monster of light.

[@AntiVillain26845]

@Roxas darkrath Yeah, because a mustache-twirling hypocrite who's clearly biased toward Darkness is definitely trustworthy about morality. Not to mention that Eraqus's dislike of the stuff is far from unjustified; its history includes multiple kinds of World-destroying monsters, countless screwed-over innocents along with their homes, etc.

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

AntiVillain1 I'm not saying xeanort can be trusted morally but if you remember xeanort tells Terra that eriqus is blinded by the light this fight proves it but xeanort still only used this fact to his advantage he can't be trusted

Hrm, it seems if Xehanort can be said to be one who has been consumed by darkness, does that make Eraqus one who has been blinded by light? It seems odd that the majority of the KH enterprise has never considered the idea of balance. Ventus of Light, Aqua of Light, Terra of Dark....even Sora seems determined to be Light, yet we see that Riku, the ONLY person who has accepted the ideal of Balance, seems to have surpassed him entirely. Why is it such a hard concept for anyone in the KH-verse to accept that balance can be achieved?

[@Lkdog]

too much of anything is bad, thats why its called "too much" riku found a balance, that is true, but his was a special case. darkness has a tendency to warp and distort things beyond what they're ment to be.

[@loganbigmo]

Riku found an immunity to darkness after being possessed by it and being one of the rare people to survive it intact. I bet Aqua, a former Light, might have found the balance during her time in the RoD maybe? Who knows.

+Murali Thaya as it seems from 2.8 trailers, she seems to be fighting her hubris and shortcomings

[@ragnaroksora8129]

well eraqus probably believes that ever thing must have a zero tolerance darkness policy rule. but when he appies that it only aggravates more darkness just look at the case with Terra and his mark of Mastery.

[@bootiemonhd458]

vc180191 correction. Ventus himself had the ability to wield the power of light and dark so he would eventually wield the x blade. However he was not able to embrace it which is why eraqus took all the darkness out of ventus to make vanitas as an easier to way to forge the x blade. Ventus had the power to be what Riku is. One who wields light and darkness. Except he would actually be able to surpass riku because once he learned to control light and darkness he would also be able x blade making him basically the ultimate keyblade master. The only reason ventus has this light is because he is literally pure light. There is 0% darkness inside ventus while his opposite half vanitas is pure darkness and 0% light. If ventus wasn't split into him and vanitas he would be getting the some dark pulses of energy that terra gets.

[@Inferno144]

Eraques was truly blinded by the light he holds so high. Willing to kill both of his students, his own sons as he sees them, to keep this 'balance'. Darkness is scary, for sure and can even be corrupting. But like light, its a tool that can be used if used wisely. You just have to be stronger then it, not give in. He did see his errors at the end, realizing what horror he had done and even scarring Ven for life. Then old man Xehanort came in and just killed him

[@slateoffate9812]

Light and Darkness are both good in moderation. Enough Light is Empathy, enough Darkness is Self-care. Too much darkness is selfish villainy, and too much light is discrimatory needs of the many mentality.

[@davidtimmer596]

Seriously, am I the only one who feels bad for Eraqus? Deep down he cared about Aqua, Ven and Terra like they were his own children, I mean I know his viewpoint on Light and Darkness is literally black and white, but c'mon, he's never seen darkness being used for good before, so I can't blame him for wanting to safeguard the light as much as he does. Also, he didn't want to kill Ven, but knew he wanted to prevent the X-blade from being forged, hence why he was willing to carry out his assassination attempt despite fearing he would lose one of his pupils. I know people are gonna point out Riku, but that was Chain of Memories, 1 decade after the events of Birth By Sleep. He was just trying to teach Terra a lesson about not being power hungry, because that can strengthen his darkness. If anything, it's Terra's fault for relying to heavily on a power he doesn't understand and turning to Xehanort just because "he knows about the darkness." Terra was too whiny and arrogant just because he failed the Mark of Mastery for displaying a little bit darkness, just because of how competitive he was. He's one of my favorites and I would gladly be his apprentice if I had a Keyblade

[@Vigriff]

Even if he's seen Darkness used for good, I doubt it would sway him from his path.

[@drummerboi357]

eraqus was a fool. A kind man but a fool he never wanted balance to much light can blind you. look at aqua she nearly went down the same path. hell erequs was the one responsible for xhanort's plan in the first place

[@ryancarson6962]

No he failed him because he showed a bit of darkness. And Terra wouldn't had turned to Xehanort if Eraqus actually trusted him. People aren't going to trust you if you don't trust them back. And trying to destroy darkness all together is extreme by all means.

[@AntiVillain26845]

Yep. If anything, his real problem was his Idiot Ball moments, not his so-called "absolutism" (looking at you, Xehypocrite). And even then -- just before dying(?), he finally wised up and used his Heart to give Terra offscreen backup against Xehanort's possession.

This is when master eraqus went super Saiyan mode

[@garysmithfan1432]

Just goes to show how dangerous the light is too

[@shockercody999]

Think of this as not only fighting a legendary master. But a legend himself as the voice for eraqus was mark hamill. Its like fighting luke skywalker.

[@DevunGames]

Eraqus is such a cool dude.

[@AntiVillain26845]

I don't blame him for being so Darkness-averse (the forces of Darkness themselves certainly haven't helped their case); IMO, his real flaw is his irrationality. But other than that? Yeah, cool dude -- especially after what Blank Points reveals about him.

[@NoBrakes219]

6:38 the foreshadow was there the whole time. Nomura and the team always knows how to write themselves out a corner.

[@Licht_Umbra]

Where was the foreshadow? We cant even see his heart joining with terra's

[@NoBrakes219]

@@Licht_Umbra literally timestamped. I’m not trying to say its 100% explicitly how Eraqus entered it, nor would I expect this to be planned out over a decade in advance. It was more of an appraisal how creative of a writer Nomura is.

[@ClassyJoker]

I think it was already explained at the end of this same game that Eraqus's heart is inside Terra, basically helping him "fighting" Xehanort's heart, all while the Terranort on the outside is suffering of amnesia

[@andresashura5550]

You can hate Terra all you want, but this moment was so badass

[@alexhollon7526]

I honestly don't hate him. He's not the brightest, but he genuinely tries to better himself and even semi succeeded until this moment.

[@arikatheprincessofhearts2043]

I do not hate Terra. He madd mistakes like we all do.

[@katie581]

Eraqus and Terra had to talk.....welp plot needed them to die

[@Ssj1227]

Darkness is sneaky. You can be a part of the light, but if you’re not careful, it’ll find its way in, and you’ll never notice

[@Darri3n]

I love that the entire plot is only able to smoothly progress on the premise of, "I am unable to simply explain myself."

[@eduardogarcia9019]

Can u imagine if later on in the series theres another master vs apprentice fight. Like Mickey vs Master Yen Sid. I always wandered how that will be what powers does Master Yen Sid will have to show.

[@crimsonmaelstrom573]

I would very much like to see that

[@ukhistorian]

"I have failed you Terra. I have failed you..." "I should have known the Keybearers were plotting to take over!!!" "Terra, Xehanort is evil!!!" "From my point of view, the Keybearers are evil!!!" "Well then you are lost!!!"

IS THAT MARK HAMILL VOICING ERAQUS

[@MegaAeroforce1]

That is correct. He's always trying to kill his students! Lol

[@khmasterva6919]

When you used Dark Haze to end Eraqus you feel enjoyed that you killed him cause how much he beats our asses but we just realize he was teaching us a lesson

[@meta527II]

I just found out that Eraqus has probably like 10 minutes of screentime in this entire franchise!

[@Vulpori]

funny part is terras last light never faded ventus and aqua are still alive xehanort is a joke none of his plans worked out at all lul

[@AntiVillain26845]

Even Dick Dastardly is a better villain. Unlike Xehanort, he doesn't need everyone else to hold the Idiot Ball so he can look like the best racer (he's already way ahead before his self-destructive compulsion to cheat kicks in), and at least everything's not railroaded and retconned over and over just to make him look more effective than he really is.

[@lostsouls1919]

This fight took me a few days in critical mode, I was so under leveled and relied purely on shotlocks

[@DonaldFromKingdomHearts]

What's up with Mark Hamill and always trying to kill his students?

[@MegaAeroforce1]

😂 I came to this video just to say the same thing!

[@Offbeatcat]

I like that you fought him with darkness based commands. I like your video of this fight best, because you make it a spectacle to watch, playing well into the cutscene.

[@luciferthemasterblade739]

You’re actually forced to fight him with dark based commands

[@Offbeatcat]

@@luciferthemasterblade739 you mean the dark based command style. not the individual commands.

If I had a nickel every time Mark Hamill tried to kill his apprentice, I’d have two nickels! Which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

6:01 You re grounded. No more computer ga- Ouchie ouch.

[@Mars_over_seer]

1:00 Mark Hamilton your awesome but did you do a retake on that?

[@denny141196]

This has never made sense to me. Is it a dark desire to protect those you love?

[@MrVince329]

Remember in the beginning of Terra's story? Where Master Eraqus criticized Terra's obsession with power and that he must not be afraid of losing? "Fear leads to obsession with power, and obsession beckons the darkness." The same thing happened here, when Terra feared Eraqus' power, and so he called upon the power of darkness.

[@BlackwingStorm900]

It's not that protect Ven was a dark idea, it was the he allowed himself to use the darkness as power to fight Eraqus, which led to him losing control.

[@kaibaskywalker2725]

“I command you step aside” “No” “You won’t head your master?” “I won’t” Epic just epic

[@jeankisaragi1502]

Propia saying that Eraqus is dark resistant, when the idea is being more aggresive than him by wanting to kill him, a very sad Boss fight but the most epic of them all

[@chrisdaughen5257]

Wait if eraqus is the kid in the KH3 trailer.....shouldnt he have blue eyes?

[@maverickdarkrath4780]

That's usually a bad sign according to ddd

[@lpfan4491]

maybe he changed eyecolor because it went to the point of him not only being a lightcharacter like the blue eyes but even blinded by it to the extreme.....or he might have contacts xD

[@locodesert2]

Now you get to voice the voice of Luke skywalker as a boss fight.

[@walidsadi6647]

[@alimichalkan8046]

After Dark Road, honestly watching what foils between Eraqus and Xehanort is truly heartbreaking… especially when it ended up with Xehanort killing his own best friend. It’s hard to watch Dark Road, BBS and KH3 ending.
