Kingdom Hearts - Union X Reactions

[@cgdavidson]

When Marluxia was disappearing at the end of KHIII and he started talking about remembering his purpose for being... When the same was happening with Larxene and she said she was along for the ride and that it was her secret... Those two are my favorites.

[@PermanentViolet]

Those moments are so good. Very excited and curious to see what happened to them between UX and KH3.

You think larxene found out about who killed marluxias sister and kept it a secret too

[@cgdavidson]

@@sircaruso9917 I hadn't considered that, but it's an interesting theory, for sure! My head canon is that she has a thing for Marluxia and can't say it because, well... She's Larxene LOL. Not nearly as compelling as what you're bringing to the table though!

OK girl, you need to watch the videos of "Scenes that hit different after Union X ending", also the japanese version of "It isn't over yet?" is actually "Looks like I will continue on another journey.", so yeah, the player ("us") becomes or reincarnates in a new journey related to Xehanort.

[@narayananmohan8114]

I dont know if you realised this or not but when Ven charges the darkness and changes it into a form that is defeatable, He creates Vanitas. Which is why in KH3, after his defeat at the hands of Ventus and Sora, he says "Cant you see? I AM Darkness." and all of us thought that it was just him being edgy, but he was being literal. Vanitas was the darkness that was originally ripped from Ventus's heart, and it was a darkness SO strong that it was able to SOLO summon a new batch of creatures - the Unversed. And it happened here.

[@lukasruston8618]

I've said this on other comments but I'll say it here. If this theory is true then how do you explain the darkness inside of Ven's heart in Re:Mind? Keep in mind that when Sora enters Ven's heart, Vanitas is still alive and a separate being from Ven... so who could this be in Ven's heart if Vanitas IS the darkness that Ven took into his heart? I believe that Vanitas is just a construct created by the darkness in Ven's heart since the darknesses have also made similar creatures; the Heartless.

[@Fragmentsinfractals488]

Ventus is my favorite character since BBS and I can't wait to see what's gonna happen with him in the future. I feel like he's gonna play a big role in the future KH games, or at least I hope so. Somehow, I feel like Roxas' desire for freedom came from Ventus' repressed memories of being manipulated again and again. Maybe Ventus will follow the same path as Roxas, but against the Foretellers instead of the Organisation.

I’ve loved all of the videos and I’m right there with you. KH has an incredibly special place in my heart. The original chain of memories really got me and I loved it so much.

[@draskirondaar]

The Maleficent robe thing is how she time traveled. The robe is her medium but she needs someone that remembers her to be where time travels to. Who are Yen Sid's tower? The 3 fairies who have terrible memories of Maleficent. If I remember correctly, it's a cutscene in KH2. We all thought she just came back from the dead or something. After KH 1, she went through the Union Cross time travel shenanigans to KH2 and ultimately, she's in KH3 now looking for the black box too.

[@Sakenpapier]

I don't remember the first time I heard someone mention that KH was about trauma and may have come from someone who faced abuse, but it makes so much sense. Maybe it was from one of your videos. I was already a big fan of Kingdom Hearts before, but hearing that made me bawl so, so much, and it made me understand why I hold KH so close to my heart

[@synovelle]

Violet crying when she realizes the Dream Eaters from DDD are all the fallen children wielders from Union and then showing us flashbacks of her singing the Dream Eater theme while adoring her Spirits during old gameplay is all of us honestly. (Except Violet is part of the small percentage who respected the Dream Eaters from day 1 and thought they were lovely and adorable, meanwhile most people hated them and thought they were annoying and wanted regular party members back lmao. Btw I’m part of Violet’s percentage, I’ve always loved the Dream Eaters)

[@SPIKEYROXAS]

Vens timelime matches up to the present now. The darkness sora spoke to in vens heart was one of the "Darknesses" from UX. Laurium and elrena still have gaps between waking up from the rescue pods and becoming nobodies. Luxu took over brains form but brain also travelled to a future where scala was created? Theres some business to be explained there. What the fuck is in the damn box already!? I guess dark road will answer some more plots points, maybe about sigurd or the person who gave infant MX away. Also no sign of demyx and luxord. Unless theyre both from the fictional world (Quadratum)

[@maxwellsdestiny1656]

Well a lot of people assume Luxord was the driver in Yozoras car because the voice sounded the same xD

[@charizanicoxd2122]

I think Luxu stole Braig's physical body and the real one is still in the Data World. Skuld is still missing. It is said that they saw Strelitzia in a white cape walking next to Luxu and it is seen that she was sent in one of the capsules. At the end of Melody of Memory, Master Yen Sid gives the mission to Mickey to go to Scala Ad Caelum maybe they will find Braig or what happened at the events of Union X. And Ava is still unaccounted for, she may appear in KH4.

[@marieporter9488]

I don’t know if this is confirmed or a theory, but I heard someone say that Luxu took Brain’s body and sent Brain’s heart to the future. His hat was there to act as a medium so his body could reform Also, my personal theory is that the box is empty (as of the end of KH3). When MoM tells Luxu what’s in the box, Luxu asks “Why?” And MoM says “You’ll see” (I think this conversation is “Why do you want me to guard an empty box?” And “You’ll see its importance eventually”). I think that something WILL be put in the box eventually. Plus making the fans tear our hair out while trying to figure out what’s in the box, and then revealing that it was empty the whole time seems like something Nomura would do My last theory is that Vanitas IS NOT Darkness (he might be A Darkness, but I don’t think he’s the one that was helping Malifecent). At the end of the Big Hero 6 world, the evil Riku Replica talks to Malifecent and Pete asks “Is he a friend of yours?” Malifecent says “Yes, though I could not tell you from when”. So I think the Darkness that was helping Malifecent ends up being the Riku Replica in the Organization

[@dimodxmo]

Maleficent got transferred back to her first appearance in KH2, where the Fairy Godmothers freaked the fuck out.

[@zachtemoro2116]

One quick thing now that you’re officially caught up. Back when DDD was released on the 3DS, a meme rose that “everyone is either xehanort or sora”. Longest running meme and I think it got to Nomura a little, so he said “fine, everyone is Xehanort, right? Ok then” and he did it. The KHUX player character chooses to reincarnate instead of sleep and become a dream eater. They show cutscenes of Young Xehanort, meaning LITERALLY everyone is Xehanort. We’re now all child murderers and creepy old men >:))

[@mochhhhee]

Nah, we only raised him

[@kevinbell5674]

Remember how in KH3 Marluxia had amnesia but Larxene didn't? And remember Larxene's "Oh, shit." face when Xemnas mentioned their connection to the Keyblade's history? Personally, I think Larxene becomes so easily irritated with Sora and Roxas is because she is constantly comparing them to Keyblade wielders of the Union X era and finds them lacking. Also, I wonder how Larxene felt in KH3 about fighting alongside the same Darkness that attacked Marluxia's sister. Edit: WE were Xehanort all along!

[@tomasfong40]

How do you know she remembered. I thought she also didnt have memories of that time

[@kevinbell5674]

@@tomasfong40 There is nothing to indicate that she doesn't. In fact, given with how she seems to always be tagging along with Marluxia no matter what he decides to do and and go "along for the ride" is speculative evidence that she does remember. It could be that, just like Xemnas, she just chooses not to use a Keyblade. She also tends to be a bit more harsh with Sora and Roxas and it might be because she sees them lacking when compared to her old friends.

Maybe it’s possible for memories to be recovered, but Ven and the girl were too traumatized from being controlled and experimented on to get their memories back? Brain is an exception, I think, because of how Luxu took over his body and kicked Brain’s heart out where it landed in Sigured’s time (that’s what I’ve heard is the main theory among the fans, but it could also maybe be that Brain time traveled and Luxu took over his body after Brain had lived in Scala for a while and was older. I’m just coming up with ideas, I don’t know anything for certain)

[@QuillASMR]

26:05 Although it's not confirmed, Ven's comment could be referring to Vanitas. 31:06 Did you miss the fact Ephemer literally shot a key beam through the player's heart? Lol 38:35 The player is choosing to become reincarnated as Xehanort, not death 😂 39:45 Notice how Lauriam is within a field of flowers and Larxene is in one filled with lightning 😉 Also, Larxene arrived in Enchanted Dominion: Maleficent's world. 41:32 Remember, Luxu said he'd been through plenty of bodies since that point in KH3 and so now he's taken Brain's. Although, Brain does appear in the next scene, people speculate that those 2 came to some kind of deal; Luxu gets his body and Brain time travels to Scala perhaps. This also points to a theory that Brain ended up in Scala because his hat was the medium and therefore time travelled to a period when Ephemer potentially passed away with Luxu's help. But again, currently just speculation.

[@lukasruston8618]

The secret reports in KH3 don't mention the keyblade by any other name other than the Gazing Eye. They do refer to Xehanort as "The Scape Goat" though so that's probably where you got it from.

[@Dragon_Lair]

Ummm, the bit at the end does NOT prove that Yen Sid is evil. It’s a scene in KH2 when Maleficent reforms because the fairies were there to help Sora with his clothes. A medium (her cloak) those who remember her (the fairies) served to bring her back to the present. Her memories of that time period were erased but the events were etched on her heart so it altered her perspective from the point she returns in KH2 moving forward.

[@terrellthaddies7867]

I mean Yen Sid isn't really a villain. He helped out with alot of stuff. Plus that particular cutscene with the ravan arriving at Yen Sid's Tower with the evil witch herself in Union Cross, is the exact moment she was revived in Kingdom Hearts 2. Maleficent used that pod from Union X and went back to the present day of the Kingdom Hearts timeline aka Kingdom Hearts 2 In terms of the world of Fiction that everyone keeps mentioning, it's Quadraum aka the world of Yozora and that "star" is from. The star is definitely the girl that Yozora tries to save in that Verum Rex commercial. Also the area that Ven had landed in, is where Master Xahanort founded Ven and ended up training him. That silhouette was definitely him. I'm really happy that alot of people is giving Kingdom Hearts a try

I personally think that Riku as a character is very interesting, simply because he is the only character that has this balance of light and darkness. Why isn't any other character able to gain control like him?

[@peanutmuttplays104]

I think it’s because it’s so risky to travel the path of darkness in the first place. You risk losing yourself and hurting the individuals you protect. Riku had an anchor, Sora, which brought him back from the brink. But I think Riku is also one of very few people that can successfully come back from the darkest corner of their heart. Even Sora, as light as he is, casts a shadow too vast for him to escape from. So much so, he was easily placed in a endless sleep. It’ll be interesting to see if Nomura explores the darkness within Sora now that he’s been separated from the keyblade and his friends.

[@lukasruston8618]

It's not confirmed to be Vanitas... in fact, I'm more under the belief that Vanitas is a construct created by the darkness in Ven's heart. Because during Re:Mind, Sora enters Ven's heart and there is still a being in there that refers to itself as darkness (keep in mind that at the time of Sora entering Ven's heart, Vanitas is still alive and a separate being from Ven) Also remember that the darknesses created the Heartless so it's entirely possible that they could've created another similar creature; The first Unversed aka Vanitas.

You know, I keep trying to place everyone too, and the nearest I could relate Brain to is the one character you only get a brief glimpse of from the Yozora game trailer when you enter "Toy Story" world in KH3. One of the 2 guys helping Yozora who also has a similar fedora/trilby. I wonder if the other guy, then is supposed to have been a younger version of Luxord? Because if Brain is good with computers and the digital representation of things, it would make enough sense given the Yozora battle aesthetic and it's data like qualities.

@@andresmontoya9 Well, Ventus' heart is pure but the Darknesses are separate beings so they don't count as part of his heart, they'd most likely count as their own separate hearts like all the hearts in Sora do (despite the fact that the Darknesses don't have hearts as far as we can tell but it could still work the same way) Ventus' heart on its own is pure regardless of any outside interference.

[@andresmontoya9]

@@lukasruston8618 it still confuses me because take Riku for example, he has darkness in his heart and therefore can turn into a heartless. It makes sense you can separate his light and darkness. But how did Xehanort separate the darkness in Ventus heart when Ventus is only light. That’s my ultimate question. And since he did separate a darkness from Ventus, where did that darkness come from!? I get what you’re trying to say but this is the question that has me theorizing

[@Ephemerthefish2525]

remember when everyone was xehanort meme well nomura said cool idea now melt your brain with it

[@AxeIVonDerlnfo]

I played all games, too 😍 And I have the guidebook and the soundtrack for KH1, and the mangas of KH 1, 2, com and days ^^ Only the mobile game I didn't finished 😭 (but I was already at the end of racked ralph)

[@pjcastropr]

No name is a keyblades name... exactly in KH birth by sleep, rigth after defeating the mysterius figuire in land of departure

[@Anko3342]

Just a side note, I love how this game and KH III made Re:Coded way more important than before with all that data abd book of prophecies crap, even though it's confusing as all hell. Thanks Nomura!

[@donkeykongbrawlsmash4745]

MoM: Do you really think the world can be saved by just Seven people? Me: No, I think it can be saved by Eleven people at minimum. That's how many there were at the end of KH3 even in the base game.

[@UACLive]

WAIT. WAIT. WAIT. WHAT IF ERAQUS AND BRAIN ARE THE SAME PERSON. Think about it. - Eraqus and Braig never meet each other in BBS or KH3s ending, and Braig doesn't have to pretend to be Brain/Eraqus because [Luxu] forged his own identity by BBS. -Eraqus has a *very similar* hairstyle to Brain, and has Pale Purple eyes. -Eraqus in the Chess scene is Older than brain in UX (Brain could be 12-13, Eraqus easily looks 15-17, which also helps points back to the hairstyle change) -Eraqus *knows* about No Name, as would Brain, due to his meeting with Luxu, which is why he's able to explain it to Xehanort. -Daybreak Town was destroyed, and Scala Ad Caelum was rebuilt in its place, meaning it's reasonable to say Brain's/Eraqus's home town is Scala, and why Eraqus and Xehanort were able to meet in the first place. Edit 2:Also, forgot to mention, Brain and Eraqus have the same Keyblade, which we all noticed in these scenes, but since UX happens before BBS, that means *Eraqus* has *Brains* Keyblade, and both were seen in Scala, just never meeting each other, which also points to the idea of Eraqus being a new identity Edit: So Xehanort is the first one to talk about No Name in the Chess Scene, but that doesn't change the fact that both Xehanort and the audience knew Eraqus was lying about knowing of a)the keyblade war and b) the "Lost Masters". And seeing how Brain was quite fittingly the smartest of the Leaders, it would make sense that he would eventually learn about the "7 darknesses" that MoM and Luxu talk about, which would fit into the ending Chess scene about a "new game"

[@UACLive]

*if* I'm correct and Brain is Eraqus, then it just seems like a war between Brain and Luxu (with Sora and Xehanort as their respective puppets)

[@PermanentViolet]

you have my attention

[@UACLive]

@@PermanentViolet I mean, it's makes a bit of sense though. Luxu is Talking to the Foretellers at the end of KH3, which means alive or not, 6 of the 7 darknesses are in one place at the same time, the only one we're missing is MoM, which I think has a deeper connection to the box than we might first think. The ending Eraqus Chess scene is implied to happen before BBS, but after UX, which means from the time Brian/Eraqus arrived at Scala, to the point of the chess scene, he learned the True Plan, and essentially told Xehanort to his face by showing him the "new game". My thoughts: This isn't the last we see of Eraqus or Brain, and I *think* there might be a Replica in the Box for MoM to time travel to, making the 7 darknesses intact.

[@GrumpoNeo]

This game gets disregarded as "just the mobile game," so often, but it changes literally everything. I can't play any of the other games the same way ever again. And it only cemented my absolute love for the series, as much as it tries to break my heart with how sad it is.

[@oatmilkglass]

GIRRRL watch Dark Road finale right now!!!

[@AzazinNote]

Ah good. Few people play the original gba/ds games, but it's totally worth it. You might wanna play Dream Drop Distance in the 3ds too. It's not that diferent from the remastered version (unlike Chain of Memories), but I always felt it was better at making me bond with my spirits (thought I haven't played it since Union X ended, so I don't know how that affects things).

[@gionova1]

Yeah both the DS games are pretty good and I even got 100% on both which is harder than most games in the series. The GBA game is the only one I wouldn't recommend. The PS2 remake is significantly better in every way and the original just has a different and simpler "secret movie" after completion.

[@ventusthekey5187]

I hope you caught on to the fact that Xehanort is the Union protagonist reincarnated. Like how f'ed up is that?

[@ayyachris]

After watching this, you realized in Kingdom Hearts 3 you are fighting against YOURSELF.

[@drakeignam1295]

Hey Violet! Did you ever react to days? I combed through your twitch and couldn't find anything of the sort on there

[@nflbob9814]

I’m down for a union x movie

[@nefilimlean9087]

And now you understand why I said that I cannot see DDD in the same way as before, this final part of the union cross completely destroyed me as soon as it came out, I played this game for 5 years and this final is too strong. There is too much information in all the games, now to wait for it to continue with Dark Road and see what happens to "us".

[@nefilimlean9087]

Ahh and the other theory is that Skull is the girl Lea and Isa are talking about.

[@awesomekid6688]

surprised that you were not as surprised that the player, who is the audience, being reincarnated as Xehenort. So we are both the main protagonist and antagonist.

[@MrBlacknightte]

So I highly recommend if not playing at least watching Melody of Memories good stuff there too

[@peanutmuttplays104]

More videos on childhood based trauma? MY FAVORITE.

[@dykishandfriends]

20:31 “was that.. terraria?”

[@KaimArgonarEyyyy]

Realizing _I_ was Xehanort absolutely destroyed my mind for multiple days. Couldn't get the thought out. That bombshell literally changed KH. _We_ are Xehanort. Also we took out 4 darknesses like a chad. *GASP* Maybe it's because of those 4 Darknesses that Xehanort ends up leaning so heavily towards Darkness?! Oh my god...!

[@roadgrill8539]

I would die for a voice acted version of these scenes

[@1465angelosornio]

“You have come this far and still you have no know nothing”

[@DarkLawYGO]

ive played all the games 100 percent and even i think they need to make a flow chart or something.

[@PermanentViolet]

There is a chart in the back of the KH3 Ultimania that shows character correlations and a Xehanort timeline. It has helped me a lot. I also used the KH Character Files to fact check myself while making this video. It's just so much information to keep track of lmfao

[@nekogamer2508]

Ven was 11 in union x

[@NarakunoHana100]

the KH3D flashbacks 😭😭

[@lordforehead3597]

Have u done the kh3 data battles?

[@yoshiwearingpants2084]

she has been streaming them on and off on twitch, i think shes only got 2 or 3 battles left

[@DesignationZZK]

Yooooo the original gba version of Chain of Memories is sooooo much better than the ps2/ps4 version! And the Re:Coded and 358/2 for the DS are so impressive for the little systemmmmm! Are you gonna play all three on the channel?

[@blankagakowska5730]

Dark Road reaction now ❤

[@kirbyolsen5190]

Are you watching KHU dark road by any chance?

[@theironpraetor5482]

I believe she has already perceived dark road on her twitch streams, yes.

[@dykishandfriends]

Christ I just hope that the next kingdom hearts mainline game has a story recap like 3 did at the start and throughout. I understand the storyline entirely except for the X / union X shit lol

[@adamhernandez6899]

My game khux shut down I can’t play games anymore when coming back kingdom hearts khux

[@DemiTrusdale3]

Wow... she was so full of kh energy that she wanted to go zoomies 😂

[@Tessdust]

So.... we are all Xehanort...
