Evolution Of Ars Arcanum Animations In Kingdom Hearts Series
This was a video that was requested a long time ago but I have been putting it off for so long but finally got around to making this video.
So in this video, I will be showing off all of the ars arcanum animations from the entire kingdom hearts series. If I miss any of the ars arcanum from the previous kingdom hearts game please let me know in the comment section below
Hello everyone, I know there is some missing ars arcanum in this video. Well, I just finished making a new ars arcanum evolution video which should have more added compared to this video.
Here is the link to the final mix version of the video with more to it. Thank you for the feedback. Evolution of Ars Arcanum Animation Final Mix Version Kingdom Hearts.

Please before you type a comment about some missing characters that are not in the video I kindly ask that you read the description first. I am aware I forgot to add in some of the other characters who can use that attack in the series. I even updated the title to let people know that this video is outdated & I remade this video which is linked below this comment. Thanks for watching.

I love how Kid Sora was just rabidly clubbing the enemy with the blade because he's going all-out, but by the time he grows up, Ars Arcanum isn't nearly the peak of his power and skill anymore, so he just gets nice and flashy with it while still hacking the enemy to pieces

[@fork-man]

I think its because sora inexperience in combat let alone a blade as he gets older his sword skills groe and combat experience plus the drastic shift to physical attacks bad magic good thats why we see kh 1 just bashing a giant key sword on people heads while kh2 and beyond is actually slashing them

Bruh kh3 normal combos look like kh1 ars arcanum 💀

[@mrmagictophat87]

I just realized something. The auto part of Ars is 7 hits, and the attack finishes at 13 hits. Unless I counted that wrong, that’s a neat little nod to one of the other things in KH that involves the Numbers 7 and 13.

[@keybladewar22]

Your not wrong about that, it starts with seven strikes & finish it off with 6 more strikes which adds up to thirteen hits.

Great video! My favorite is probably the KH III one now because it just makes me feel so powerful, especially the finisher. Oh, and I love Sora's crazy animation with it haha. Miss the yellow glow though..that was always a nice touch.

[@ReverofEnola]

SAME! Kingdom Key and Second Form are my top 5 favorite Keyblades in that game too.

[@yurieshicatay6309]

Tbh i was never a fan of how flippy and spinny the combat became with each new installment, the moves just dont feel like they have as much weight to it especially when you look back at kh1. Hitting enemies with limits felt so satisfying.

[@keybladewar22]

I hear you on that. Each game had some changes that made the game either good or bad. If there was a familiar limit in a new series of this game it would get nerfed or have a totally different animation just like ragnarok in kh3 not having the physical air combo before the burst of light. I get comments about that on that video about how ragnarok sucks because of how it was changed.

[@user-oq4oi1kr1b]

Its called the osaka effect.

[@dosseranuno]

There is an ars arcanum on bbs, you can get it with ventus but its pretty different from kh1. Also in DDD there are some attacks from bosses (or if you get a lot of hits without dying) that can cancel ars arcanum, but most of the times, yeah, you get frame trapped

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah, I am aware that I missed bbs are arcanum. Yeah kh1 & kh2 have invincibility frames at the start but in bbs & ddd they have no invincibility frames & kh3 has invincibility frames all the way through it.

[@wendykelly8332]

KH3 is my favorite because i like how crazy Sora goes all around lol, although i also miss the bright yellow glow tho. The version of Sonic Blade for this is probably pretty simple, i don't think they ever really changed it much.

[@keybladewar22]

Nope only difference is that you can use it in the air but I think it would go airborne anyway regardless if you started on the ground.

[@CNWhatImSaiyan]

@@keybladewar22 The 3D version is auto like with Arcanum, but it hits a maximum of ten times and is MUCH faster

[@KaliTakumi]

Yea but all that flash means it can whiff easier

[@SendoDX]

Really good shit right here. I like how this is an evolution of the entire move and how it works rather than just the animation of it.

[@Pj-pl2pj]

Original one is the best one

[@keybladewar22]

Agreed.

[@WizzOfIzz]

Yup

[@redc7146]

Ventus actually gets Ars Arcanum in BBS, I think

[@keybladewar22]

He does. I forgot to put it in by accident.

[@go_gorilla_go]

It felt the best in KH1 because imo in KH2 Sora kinda plays like KH1 Ars Arcanum normally. Like once you're a reasonable level with combo extenders and finishers you can basically do Ars Arcanum by spamming x since Sora attacks much faster and more fluidly in KH2. In 1 it felt more drastic and fast, in 2 it's kinda like any other combo.

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah in kh1 it felt fast because the inputs to keep it up had to be fast but not to fast to finish the limit while in kh2fm ars arcanum was something that had to be timed or it would drop the combo. In re com it felt good imo because it prompted the command making it easy to keep up while the the other ars arcanum had to be on point which is not bad but just pointing out some noticable difference is all.

[@AnimeHokageHD]

KH2FM arcs arcanum is cooler since the keyblade has a aura that forms into a sword during the attack animation. Limit form is classically a OP form when combined with second chance and once more. But the wait time is long with the final 6 hits leaving the final hit as a critical. It looks like Sora does it as a 1H weapon attack since he holds it with two hands. It must require a lot of strength, speed and dexterity to use the ability.

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah that's right the arua is a sword animation which was pretty cool.

[@SonnyFRST]

That was something that always bothered me. Sora's usage of either 1 or 2 hands used to be (somewhat) consistent, but after KH2 it's all over the place...

[@LilShadow9000]

[@khmasterva6919]

Ars Solum can def up the Attacks not interrupting but risky you can get interrupted by it when you get knocked off or died

[@hansiesilver2991]

This is why kh3 Kingdom key is my favourite, because of the old moves and this

[@keybladewar22]

Same here. I also like the kingdom key because of the sound effect it makes when sora is using flash step or if he lands a critical hit with the kingdom key. It sounds really cool.

[@hansiesilver2991]

@@keybladewar22 yeah that too.

[@DaybreakTownGSA]

In regards to BBS, I believe there are only very few attacks with pure invincibility frames, and they all end in -Surge What Ars Solum and most other commands in the game have are stagger-resist frames, where you still take damage but will still be able to follow through on the command without being knocked out of it Which is more than I can say for Dream Drop, where all attacks have an insane amount of start lag and almost none have stagger-resist.

[@keybladewar22]

You are right about that. Most of the Ars Arcanum commands have stagger-resist which is cool because you will still tough it out even though it is risky but it does not knock Sora out of the attack animation whereas DDD Ars Arcanum leaves Sora frame trapped but knocks him out of it not to mention it last way to long which makes me think that maybe this attack in DDD should have at least buffed how much damage Sora takes during that attack animation if they weren't going to add I-frames to that attack. At least then it would still be fair & there's less risk to using that attack because Sora will always get hit during that animation since they don't stagger enough to give Sora some breathing room after.

[@ZX-Gear]

If I remember correctly,the Limits in Kingdom Hearts 1 was harder to pull off due to not having the Triangle Button prompt of Kingdom Hearts 2 in the PS2 version which streamlined a lot of stuff to reduce headaches in activating said commands. Yeah,other than Strike Raid and Trinity Limit,I never used them.

[@keybladewar22]

Yup, that's exactly correct. Those days were hard to pull off a full-limit attack because you had to time the input which was confusing when the letters would go bright to dem on when to press the button so we just mash the button & hope for the best. I remember not knowing that ars arcanum had a full attack until 2008 since I just used it not knowing there where manual input that had to be done but that was hard to tell back then since like you said no RC was made for that release of the game until 2013 of the remastered version which made it way easier than before.

[@zaqareemalcolm]

I like how spastic Sora moves for 3D and 3 Ars', its really close to how Ventus performs it with Sora's own personal flair. Now, if only you didn't get frame-locked in 3D but I guess that's the general nerf of 3D doing away with Reaction Command prompts (Sonic Blade and Time/Dark Splicer were similar)

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah 3D ars arcanum was good since you wouldn't have to worry about dropping the ars arcanum but sucks it fram traps Sora.

[@originaljm6284]

I never gave this move much love as a kid

[@oakheartcharredoak1533]

I remember as a kid playing kh1, I did not know that u had to manually do the rest, and once I found that out, I did not know it had a finish.

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah, I didn't even know that when I was younger until I went to high school & saw Sora do the finisher for ars arcanum & when I saw that finisher I was like whoa & told my brother & he didn't even know. I always used it & then when Sora stop I went back to fighting lol.

[@africanwarlock6130]

BBS is my favorite kh game and let me tell you it has no safety frames if you get hit during any part of the attack you take damage ars Solum on bosses is usually useless since they don’t stagger

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah' bosses in this game have the worse stagger property & landing invincibility frames do not exist in this game which sucks.

[@jcambriz5697]

You didn’t mention that the glow of the blade in kh2fm is more bright and actually looks like a blade at the tip whereas in kh1 the keyblade is just outlines with light when doing ars

[@Gredoxx]

I always loved KH2's

[@HalvoDraws]

arcanum had such weight and impact, with each and every swing sora made in kh1 so it sucks to see how floaty it became in khDDD and kh3

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah, I agree. In KH1 it felt good to use. It had weight to it in KH1 & in KH2 it had a speedy & snappy feel which was great for resetting combos in limit form. DDD Ars Arcanum sucks in every imaginable way mainly because Sora will be frame-trap the entire animation until it either ends or he is knocked out of that move which brings up my second reason why it sucks in DDD & that is the lack of invincibility frames. In KH3, Sora is invincible through the entire animation but the downside to that move is the floatiness it has & it can feel like Sora does not have any control even if you switch targets Sora will stay on that target or will stay in that spot even after the foe was defeated which takes away freedom.

[@meteornome2556]

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah I agree I hate DDD ars arcanum because your not invincible during it not even at the start of the ars arcanum. KH3 is better in my opinion because it still does what kh2 & 1 did it just added more hits at the end & allowing you to do it in the air & your invincible through the whole attack. But DDD ars arcanum can go in a ditch lol.

[@ReverofEnola]

Attack Bracer unfortunately doesn't work for Sleights too in the GBA version.

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah I noticed it. I was like what is going on with attack bracer.

[@lpfan4491]

It pretty much is there to avoid sleights being too strong, which sadly makes Ars pretty useless if the boss is not dumb enough not to break it.

[@swordmeisterguy6752]

KH1 and 2's still the best in my opinion solely because the strikes FEEL like they have weight and impact. KH:DDD's is my personal worst since it's too wild. Sora's flailing his whole body while airborne? It looks like he became a human buzzsaw, with almost no sort of weight in the rush strikes.

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah, it seems Sora is hitting hard when he in kh1 & kh2. It's like he is doing a melee attack but it even lighter & weaker in DDD.

I really don't like the version of Ars Arcanum present in DDDHD and KH3 because of it's animation, as ATK1734 said Ars Arcanum is Sora's Omnislash. Yet all he does now is spin & slash wildly like he took drugs beforehand. The version from KH1, KH2 and ReCoM as well as BBS has actual grace to it.

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah. Even though you could not control it's movements at least it never whiffs your opponent like kh3 & ddd. They were short, so simple & not trying to be super flashy instead it was less flashy with the aura light around the keyblade & nothing more. Kh3 & ddd or let's just say Osaka team loves to put in flashy mechanics.

[@Netherman14TheHellblazer]

[@zemom.a.8171]

I dont get why they didnt let us have ars arcanum from KH2 when we're activating it on the ground and give us KHDDDs version when we activate it in midair? I like the KH1 and 2 version much more. The DDD version seems too wonky to me.

[@keybladewar22]

Yeah, that's a good question. It would have been so cool to choose how you use ars arcanum. The ground version could be for the ground and if you jump in the air you can use it on a airborne target. DDD ars arcanum was indeed wonky especially having no invincibility frames left Sora wide open while also being frame trapped at the sametime.

[@zemom.a.8171]

@@keybladewar22 one big criticism on KH3 is that there is no difference between ground and aerial combos. Like, no matter if you're in the air or not you'll be doing the exact same combo with the exact same amount of hits with the exact same abilities. In KH2 for instance you had individual combo modifyers and could plan for strategic input like deciding to aerial combo a grounded opponent because air-attacks have less frames. But in KH3 if you try to air-combo a grounded opponent you are forced to transition into a ground combo and since the combos dont differ in the air there is no benefit to do air combos...which also makes the uppercut-ability useless because if theres no benefit in aerial combos why waste APs for an aerial based ability? I had a lot of issues with KH3 even with the dlcs but I remember this making the game not as enjoyable to me.

[@keybladewar22]

@@zemom.a.8171 I was going to mention that lol. But yes the game has an issue with doing air combos close to the ground. KH1 & KH2 had it's own base finisher on the ground & in the air which kh3 has but needs tweaking. In kh3 you can be doing a grounded combo & right before the finisher Sora will do an aerial finisher if the target goes up a little & the same applies to doing an air combo close to the ground. KH1 did this but it worked really well. When Sora was low to the ground while performing an aerial combo & landed before he could do a aerial finisher, if the player still kept up there input in as Sora landed he will do a grounded finisher in return of what was lost from the finisher he was supposed to use in the air. KH2 didn't do that but that game really didn't need that because Sora combo & tool kit was more than enough to handle what he was up against. It's almost like a hidden finisher mechanic that allows you to continue a ground finisher if the combo is dropped before the last move came out. KH3 on the other hand just throws that logic straight out the window & just make Sora touch the ground when he is inches from the ground ruining crowded control options like second aerial combos turning into ripple drive or what ever amount of numbers you had left before the cool down came combos would come out. If kh3 had made Sora aerial combat better it would make aerial combat fun. Even in kh1 when I learned from mistmaster1 that if you slide your thumb to the X button right after you press circle before Sora can come high off the ground, with the right input with X Sora can attack super low to the ground & still get a finisher off which I enjoy doing because it resets Sora cool down after a finisher really fast. It only works on the ps3 and ps4 & Xbox1 but the PS2 version it won't work on because it has a difficult time trying to do that.

[@zemom.a.8171]

@@keybladewar22 wow hey didnt know that. I mean I did know that in KH1 you could perform aerial-ground transition combos, but I only learmed that through an accident in olympus when I mindlessly attacked the entrance sign where phil stood around and told me not to go into a fight with cerberus. But that mechanic wasnt very useful as soras combos were fast and snappy enough so that you never need those transition combos. In KH3 tho the combos feel so drawn out and sora moves so much during his combos that they needed the transition combos. I guess the game wasnt designed to make a difference between aerial and grounded attacks. Idk why but to me, it feels like the osaka team wants to get rid of everything the tokyo team did. First the riddance of the drive gauge, then the removal of the reaction commands, then the replacing of unique magic, and now the unification of air- & ground combos... The only thing they inserted that somewhat resembles the previous work of the tokyo team are the dlc combo modifiers. And thats because they are either KH2 ripoffs (radial slash...really? That thing looks like a discount KH2 vicinity break) or they are direct 1:1 copies. Which is fine y'know, but if you're gonna adapt KH2 moves then why not adapt its mechanics as well? The osaka team did not take KH2 as their main source of inspiration. They took BBS and DDD as their inspiration. Which explains almost all of their design decisions.

[@keybladewar22]

@@zemom.a.8171 Yeah, you can mostly see their game design choice from the other handheld games in kh3. Like having giant bosses which they did a lot of in DDD. Not having decent invincibility frames etc. Radial vicinity break ripoff indeed. That ability really does not feel like it really knocks back any foe around sora as vicinity break did in kh2 because they super armor your attacks & continue where they left off with their attacks.

[@RainSennin_ismyAlt]

I never even knew kh3 had it. How do you unlock it?

[@keybladewar22]

Ars arcanum is in second form. To get it you just have to do enough attacks to get the arrow on the command to reach max to upgrade the finisher to sonic blade & when you max the arrow again you will get the final finisher in that form called ars arcanum. So stun impact is not the actual finisher of that form, it is ars arcanum. Hope that helps.
