Roxas returns to save Axel and Xion! Hands off my friends! - Kingdom Hearts 3

[@theheavenlyfb4071]

I love how Jessie makes a clear distinction between Roxas and Ventus by making Roxas have a much more serious tone to his voice.

[@acjmonkeyaj7139]

Like how he combines the tones to voice Dick Grayson from Young Justice?

[@thegamecritic5305]

It is a really neat detail if you think about it! Due to what Fate had thrown at Roxas, it makes sense that Roxas has a much more serious and mature voice. I find it fitting for him considering it is what makes Roxas much more independent and individual-like than Sora. Ventus on the other hand is much more like Sora, but much more naive and sweet.

[@WayToDawn72]

That was probably my favorite detail when it came to them. Even w your eyes closed you could tell difference between Roxas and Ven during the group fight in Re:Mind as they gave each other props. That is skill

Jesse McCartney is a fantastic artist in general. I wouldn't exactly call myself a fan of his music but he isn't bad and he's seriously talented in whatever he does. Big ups to him.

@@thegamecritic5305 Ventus is a survivor of the original Keyblade war,was controlled by darkness, murdered Strelitzia and was a friend of Ephemer, the white haired guy that shows up to help Sora. He's been through a lot too. Ventus may have lost those memories but he still lived through it all so it's kinda funny that he's as childish in a way as he is.

I love how Oathkeeper and Oblivion are Roxas' official keyblades, both fit him so well and what he represents being both apart of Ventus and Sora while being his own person, keeping their way of making friendships and connections with others despite any type of darkness, and even representing how each of them were put in some kind of unconscious state while everything changed around them and despite that they still kept their light

[@P9u9r6p2l4e]

Um Ackshualy, Oathkeeper represents the promise he made to Axel and Oblivion represents the loss of Xion

[@drakeredgrave6747]

If I might add to "purples" comment, oathkeeper(which is roxas' keyblade) can represent two things: his promise to Xion to free kingdom hearts or the promise the trio made to go to the beach(this triggered the change in the manga). Meanwhile, oblivion(Xions keyblade inherited) represents the fading memories/the hurt of Xion...

​​@@duddude3212 years later and I'm still trying to figure out how exactly aqua became weaker when she was forced to fight to survive for endless years. In KH BBS she even defeated Xehanort, here she can't even take on Vanitas. And let's not talk about Ventus, most wasted character overall. I feel like the main problem of kh3 is that they thought bringing back every character was a good idea,but if I'm being honest the only three I would have understood are Aqua and Ventus,maybe terra as well. Because they're the ones who are supposed to beat xehanort. Bringing back the nobodies was a mistake,didn't sora need Roxas to be whole again?

[@alexandriaprime4503]

Two things I have realized about this scene: One, when Xion was fighting Sora and he says her name, it isn't his voice- it's Roxas's! If you listen really closely you can hear it! Two, I understand why Xemnas took Kairi. Xion hadn't been defeated the proper way, you know, where she would have fallen to the ground and a pillar of darkness would have erupted around her? She had switched to the other side, so Xemnas took Kairi because she was one of the seven lights. One of the other members of O13 said they were looking for the new seven lights for a back-up plan in case the main plan failed. They used 1/7th of the backup plan so that the X-blade could still be forged.

[@PensiveEnigmaXIII]

She’s also has a serious case of Damsel in Distress and one of the weakest lol

[@deathbykonami5487]

True but Sora was the one who reminded Roxas or who Xion was (remember when she died all memory of her existence was wiped from the organization members' minds) and Xion returned to Sora upon death, meaning which is how Sora also knew about Roxas in KH2.

[@alzara3425]

I just finished kh358/2days just to know how meaningful this scene is. and yes... it feels way more impactful

[@UrSammich]

I think that was Nomura's plan. Because at the end of 358, Axel realizes he can't keep his friends, despite trying to keep everyone together. This is why KH2 is also impactful for Roxas and Axel. Roxas is stuck knowing he needs to go back to Sora, but also trying to remember who he is. Xion on the other hand knows her purpose is to go back to Sora so his memories of Kairi remains, but like the other nobodies, she too wants to be her own person. This scene was essentially them finally coming back together after being apart. Now that they all have vessels, they can be their own person and be free to live their lives...unless Nomura does something f up...which seeing how we "most likely" have a 4th game in the works...probably gonna happen.

[@dontmatter966]

Why is this happening? where is my friend going? make this stop. then I played the other games and found out why, and for about 13 more years I waited for 3 to come out and I said to myself "I dont care what this game is, I just want Xion back."

Bruh I CRIED when the Roxas came back and his theme played

[@Werepenguin]

0:58 the best part of kingdom hearts 3 was when axel said "It's axin' time" and axeld all over those guys

[@goldenapplesaga5446]

I was SO freaking hyped when I first saw this. The only Kingdom hearts game I ever played before three was the one where you played as Roxas. It was awesome seeing Axel, it was freaking great to see Xion (and It triggered some serious flashbacks) but seeing Ya boi the Zombie Roxas up in here was pure freaking Elation!

Kh1. Kairi can't fight gets captured and sora is thrown around the world trying to rescue her. Kh2. Kairi is safe on an island and runs away and gets captured and once again sora runs around the world looking her. Kh3. Kairi can finally do something and defend herself but doesn't know to swing above her head or behind her and gets captured but this time sora has to disappear completely to to rescue her. I'm not sure if it's incredibly romantic, completely toxic but I've decided she is square eunix's version of princess peach...

[@danahlrich7519]

At least Peach recently had gotten her own solo game and definitely became badass in the new Super Mario movie. Kairi on the other hand, it shows that Nomura doesn’t give a f**k about her. Like after 2 games, we were expecting Kairi to have her moment to shine in KH3. What we got however, is not only she got her ass easily captured (AGAIN), but also killed by Xehanort in order to “motivate” Sora into fighting. At this point, it would have been far better if Kairi cannot wield the keyblade and just be better off left on the island or in Yen Sid’s tower for safe keeping.

They're ok. They're together. Axel. Roxas. Xion. They're together. *cries*

[@dinorex3464]

This scene is *hands down* the best scene in the entire game. Our boy is back.

[@skeletal8332]

I never realized when sora says "Xion" it's roxas voice coming through

[@lalachristy5581]

In every cutscenes and opening that Xion appears, I always cry. Even the 3d opening, I almost burst into tears and the KH3 opening as well.

[@yahyahyor]

Axel's face when he sees Roxas 😭😭😭😭😭

[@kitsunekid16]

People kept getting smacked in this game because they kept looking away from the enemy but no one is mentioning how roxas didn't make that mistake when acknowledging everyone while still keeping his eyes on the enemy

[@thecherry6849]

1:15 they did this man so dirty there was no reason for Xemnas to hit him with that

[@parisrowland7274]

I can’t tell you how hard I cried the first time I saw this.

[@monn-tan]

This is the only part in the game I genuinely loved. I played 358/2 days so it was very emotional for me to see this.

[@AnthonyLeachman-sc6es]

😏⚔️never give up

[@anaverageanimeviewer5696]

For this reveal there should’ve made a remix of Roxas’ theme making it super badass before and during beating Xemnas.

[@Kaitri]

xemnas dark and calming way is so perfect for a villain

[@Derglesnaf]

My favourite thing about this is that if you sit back, Roxas will absolutely rock Xemnas and Siax, he can solo them.

[@cxlestyal]

3:00 when sora says "xion" it's the voice actor for roxas and that's why xion broke down

[@DeadMasterMusic]

And then after that Roxas just goes full Assault melting the HP

[@CmdrVoltaire]

Notice how Xemnas never mentions Vexen’s name when listing the people who helped Roxas. Vexen played his former boss like a damn fiddle and he never realized it.

[@TA4J]

best moment in the game right here! well in my opinion it was i cried so hard seeing my boy roxas back ahhh!

[@RockStationForChrist]

as a 358/2 days fan, this one is getting me feeling all sorts of things

[@gamerboychris948]

This game always makes me emotional 🥺

[@Connorthecatsdad]

Roxas' theme is toooooo good for this world
