the way that the song in its original context is so triumphant and happy, yet here it’s used to show riku succumbing to his curiosity to the point where he floods the island with darkness is AMAZING like.. repurposing this as as a villain song is SO cool. in both contexts it’s about going your own way and how liberating it feels, and we can see that in riku’s visible joy here- i imagine this is really what it felt like from his point of view. it’s a thematically perfect song for him and used so cleverly. to say nothing of how beautiful the animation is!
idc what happens or if his character changes i will forever hate riku so much. when he took sora’s keyblade at the beginning of hollow bastion my blood was boiling and i was too hot to sleep, it took me like 2 hours and for that.. duck you riku.
@@lovely.l1ls you really don't forgive him xD but then what I like is that we really see him go from a jerk to a good guy who tries to fix his mistakes
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
This is why Moana might be an interesting world to visit in the next game. The parallels between her and Sora, wanting to move out of the island and explore new worlds, might be something to touch upon. Especially since no meddling 😉
I think this would work better as a solo riku game. Taking place between the events of after 1 and before CoM. Including other worlds that also have a similar theme of wanting more like... *sigh* treasure island.
that's exactly what I thought! it fits so well and I think sora would see a bit of riku in her: the urge to travel into the ocean and find out what else is out there
I love the focus on Riku's eyes especially when the ocean shines in them. This captures the feeling of wanting to embrace the desire and see the world.
I think this did a better job of filling in the blanks than the original story. Cause not once did the original KH tell you WHY he did it. You just assume he was obsessed, maybe even slightly possessed in some way.
You answered your own question. He got curious after seeing Kairi arrive from another world, felt bored and restless at being stuck on the same islands, and over time his curiosity grew into an obsession that Ansem only coaxed further and further, and thus caused Riku to draw in more darkness into his heart.
Well Riku always wanted to see other worlds. He always felt imprisoned and contained in his island world He wanted to be free and see what’s beyond his world He began to saw that opening the door to his World’s heart, and embracing Darkness was the only way He was inspired by tales of Young Xehanort leaving the island years ago. He knew Terra was from the outside world and wanted to find him, and instinctively wanted to embrace the legacy Terra gave him as his successor He wanted to be free, not contained by ocean and sky. To be free to soar and see everything not later he realized what a mistake he made, as he got freedom at the cost of everyone else.
THIS WAS AMAZING!!! Just the flow of the animation, the lip-syncing--I especially loved how you animated his hair?? Whenever he moved, when he did the typical Riku "hair flip"--Just everything was so smooth and beautifully transitioned. Amazing job as always and a perfect way to juxtapose the feeling Riku has towards wanting to leave this "tiny world" and simultaneously not seeing the world around him grows too. Would eventually love a sequel to this with an "after journey" if you had any ideas for it in the future >w>
@@EspurrRobanot sure if it helps or not, but an old friend of mine and I made a KH music video a LONG time ago that may serve as a piece of inspiration for you! I’ll edit in the title and channel when I find it again!
This is awesome! I loved the shot with Terra summoning his keyblade and then flipping it over so Riku could take the handle and make the oath. The little scene where Sora playing with the other island kids and then getting smacked in the back of the head was a great detail. Riku had that flicker of the Keybade being in his hand, considering he WAS going to have it before giving in to the darkness. Then Riku actually going and prying the door open was so cool! I loved seeing Kairi come up. All in all, fantastic!
Watching this really puts a different perspective on how the events of KH1 went, people thought Riku was this big jerk, when really he was just being the big brother of the group. Him and friends and to see what beyond their world, and to Riku, the door was the way to let him and his friends see what's outside their little island. He wanted to make his friends happy but didn't realize the danger since he was too blind to see that he was manipulated by Ansem and Maleficent.
I've been in the KH fandom since the first game came out and honestly this is one of the best fandom creations I've seen! From the moment I saw Moana I knew so many of its themes fit the KH universe well and wanted it to be a world in a game eventually but omg I never realized how well this song resonates with Riku. Amazing work!
Of course, this takes place before he understands just how dangerous and negative darkness can be. It's an interesting progression: from recklessly and ignorantly embracing the darkness, to rightfully fearing it, to beginning to accept it and truly wield it, but still suffering guilt and shame from his past actions... and so on! Riku's been on a hell of a journey.
I'm like obsessed with this, how just... joyful Riku looks, for how somber and serious he usually is. I wonder if he didn't associate letting himself feel joy with his fall to darkness for a while.
Happened upon the Surface Pressure video and absolutely fell in love with the style, definitely played it a few dozen times now, and thinking this is gonna be the same! Doesn't hurt that Riku and Aqua are my favorite wielders.
Man this is GREAT! I really love how the triumphant feel of it all takes such a sinister undertone - especially the last line of "How far I'll go" GAH! Chills
RAAAHHH THIS SO GOOD! I love the focus on RIku and how Terra's promise and bequeathing changed the course of his self image and perspective of the world. He already knew in his heart there was more out there, but he felt like he could venture out and see more! The colors and atmosphere are phenomenal, I keep rewatching it and seeing the little movements of each scene! This is fantastic!
This is so good. A scene like this would’ve fit perfectly in late KH1. Imagine the alternate universe where Kingdom Hearts is a musical like most Disney movies, as opposed to only KH2 Atlantica who’s original songs sucked. Also, shoutout to Utada, obviously, but those aren’t really traditional Disney musical songs.
WOAAAAAH, this is so freaking amazing!!! :0 The animation is so freaking good, wow!!! This song fits for Riku so well, dang, i am so glad you thought of that. The scene where Riku excitedly opens the door is so good. He looks so happy and free, and it really shows how he doesn’t know that the darkness is a bad thing yet. Maaaaaan. I am amazed
This is absolutely incredible! Making this a villain song for Riku of all people absolutely SMACKS and I would LOVE to see more! "Part of your World" with Kairi or Naminé would SLAP!
This gives me flashbacks to playing this game. I enjoy animations so much but could never really get the hang of drawing so now I just play video games 😂
I speed in which I clicked this video when I saw it come up on my recommended. I love Riku so much and loved your surface pressure animatic with Aqua so this was a real treat thank you. You did an amazing job
And just like that, Riku is suddenly my favorite character. Wow, is this gorgeous! The artstyle, the movement, the tone and emotions. Just-- aah! Yes! Incredible! Straight in the favorites playlist! Making this hopeful song sound sinister and insecure? Beautiful! And those facial expressions! Just! All of it! Amazing, wonderful, I love it, I'm gonna go watch it ten more times.
This is breathtaking. I appreciate all the attention to detail that went into destiny islands, you even included the star tree checkpoint during the race in the background of one point. I love how some frames look like the manga's art style too. All around fantastic job
Ahhh!! Loved your surface pressure video back then, and now since this one came out I haven't stopped repeating it! I hope the UA-cam algorithm does its job because you deserve a lot of support ♥ Amazing job!
THIS IS INCREDIBLE! I’m an enormous Kingdom Hearts fan; Riku is my favourite character in the series (funnily enough Aqua is one of my others) and here you really capture the sense of him feeling torn between his longing to explore beyond his island and the connection he has to his friends there, with the sense of duty he feels from the promise he made as a kid (which is pretty rich given how Terra messed everything up and basically caused the events of the series at the time in the first place, and Riku’s dedication to his friends throughout (especially Kairi’s safety in the first game even when he was under the influence of darkness, then Sora throughout the rest of the series as he attempts to grow as a person and make up for his harmful actions throughout KH1)). The animation is beautiful (I’m also an animator so know first-hand the time and effort it takes); the characters’ movements, the expressions (particularly the closeups of Riku’s eyes), the colour work with the lighting, it’s gorgeous. Sorry for the long comment, just wanting to show my appreciation for your work
Why is it that half the characters I relate to end up being the ones I have the fiercest beef against !? Well, at least I have the other half to look up to.
ahhh!!!! this is so so cool! Riku's my fav, and I thought this song worked so well for him too! the animation is so smooth and art style is stunning, very well done :) loved the manipulative talk from ansem at the start, added a great bit of storytelling and a unique touch ❤
I wish they explained that riku opened the door and stuff in game. Because, ive only recently learned that 1. Riku opened the door and 2. The darkness that nearly took them both was riku's darkness and the light which the keyblade came from was Riku's light wanting to protect sora. Despite loving this series for 13 years
True, the #2 thing was only in an interview or Ultimania or something. But!! The #1 thing was actually confirmed in Chain of Memories back on the GBA. Zexion accuses Riku of opening the door and thus destroying his own home, and from the way he reacts, it's clear that this is the truth. Even though we never witness the act itself.
Dude! These keep getting better and better. The animation is so clean looking and you've again captured the character to a t with your song choice. Keep it up.
wow! I love your color palette. I've enjoyed the new details I see on each replay. The story telling from the beginning to the end brings a new insight to Riku on the destiny island I haven't seen. Amazing! Beautiful animation!
Damn I can’t tell you how much I love this. Not only is this an”I want song” it also shows Riku wanting more. He didn’t care how he got off the island in KH1 and when he got back in KH2 you could FEEL it. If it had ended there nothing else it would still be my favorite game franchise of all time. It’s so good in a way I can’t explain my love is enough. Also I remembered the night of the storm Riku and Kairi got there before Sora. Because that scene isn’t in game it never occurred to me how it happened, now after playing KH1 over a dozen times I can visualize that. Animation is so cool and I’m here to admire it awesome job.
This is absolutely beautiful. Idk what march carapace is but if it means kool kingdom hearts stuff every yr thts great. This is gorgeous, if the song could be covered for this it'd be absolutely perfect. The animation is gorgeous if a kingdom hearts anime looked like this id just die 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
jesus christ this is good. I really need to applaud the quality of animation. you had to haeput in a lot of work for this and it shows. and this realy fits Riku back in kh 1.
Man, Zamber, what are you doing here😊 hello sweetie, I'm a recent sub, I love your passion for Miraculous so much, and if you could maybe react to a Miraculous song animatic based on the song "ultraluminary" from the movie "over the moon"
This was amazing! Good use of the song to showcase how Riku, at the time, wasn't going to let anything hold him back from leaving the island, that he was willing to give it all up just to go to other worlds and not realize the consequences of his actions. I also really loved how you only gave him a detailed face compared to everyone else. To quote another character if I may. "This is my story, and you're not part of it".
Dang it Riku why didn't you just wait until the morning to bring the apocalypse
Ikr
Sora's never going to be home in time for dinner now 😔
😆😆 underrated fucking comment, love it so much
edit: mom i'm famous
Why is that important???
That dinner is cold and spoiled now
Woah

you used some pretty fancy words there friend but I do agree with it all
Me too It made me really understand Riku's point of view because on our side we might just think that he just fell into darkness for no reason
idc what happens or if his character changes i will forever hate riku so much. when he took sora’s keyblade at the beginning of hollow bastion my blood was boiling and i was too hot to sleep, it took me like 2 hours and for that.. duck you riku.
@@lovely.l1ls you really don't forgive him xD but then what I like is that we really see him go from a jerk to a good guy who tries to fix his mistakes
@@lovely.l1ls but yes the first I wanted sooooo bad to cross the screen and punch him in the face
I just love how the connection with Terra appears. Terra was from beyond the island and he was also a promise and an invitation to go.
Riku having a Disney princess moment while unleashing the apocalypse 🤣
I wanna see what would happen if the darkness was more like this than simply mindless in the games.
@@evecampbell3069only stronger Heartless like Ansem can accomplish that.
So Ariel?
@@nobodybroda3826😂😂😂good one.
Not even Kairi has a Disney princess moment
A star walks into a black hole but doesn't seen phased. The black hole then turns to the star and says, "I don't think you understand the gravity of this situation."
This is why Moana might be an interesting world to visit in the next game. The parallels between her and Sora, wanting to move out of the island and explore new worlds, might be something to touch upon. Especially since no meddling 😉
I think the more interesting part would be the idea that Sora at that moment would be wanting to return home. That makes a more funny prospect.
Agreed I’d love to see Moana in KH4. ❤
Ngl I wanna see Star Wars too 😂 So many possibilities. 😵💫😵💫
I think this would work better as a solo riku game. Taking place between the events of after 1 and before CoM. Including other worlds that also have a similar theme of wanting more like... *sigh* treasure island.
I always thought the concept on Moana fit precisely with Kingdom hearts as a Disney world about returning a lost heart with Demi gods and monsters
that's exactly what I thought! it fits so well and I think sora would see a bit of riku in her: the urge to travel into the ocean and find out what else is out there
Riku: OMG IM SO FUCKING HAPPY RN!
The rest of the island: *fearful screams of death*
Riku prying open the door and embracing the unknown not knowing that the darkness would corrupt him. *chef’s kiss*
I love the focus on Riku's eyes especially when the ocean shines in them.
This captures the feeling of wanting to embrace the desire and see the world.
See, this is why a Moana world needs to be in Kingdom Hearts! The themes are just perfect!
I think this did a better job of filling in the blanks than the original story. Cause not once did the original KH tell you WHY he did it. You just assume he was obsessed, maybe even slightly possessed in some way.
Not really fair to compare this to to kh1 when it uses info from other kingdom hearts games
You answered your own question. He got curious after seeing Kairi arrive from another world, felt bored and restless at being stuck on the same islands, and over time his curiosity grew into an obsession that Ansem only coaxed further and further, and thus caused Riku to draw in more darkness into his heart.
Well Riku always wanted to see other worlds. He always felt imprisoned and contained in his island world
He wanted to be free and see what’s beyond his world
He began to saw that opening the door to his World’s heart, and embracing Darkness was the only way
He was inspired by tales of Young Xehanort leaving the island years ago.

Ohhhhh, I wish this kind of animation was around when I was still in the fandom. My heart's doing flips for my boy.

This is absolutely incredible! Making this a villain song for Riku of all people absolutely SMACKS and I would LOVE to see more!
"Part of your World" with Kairi or Naminé would SLAP!

Shivers... what a clever way to show Riku's side of the story! So beautiful
Wowwwww! You made me see this song in a whole new light! I can actually Riku's perspective more through this! This was fantastic! ❤
Obsessed with this happy song from Moana being used as Riku gleefully destroys his home.
It weirdly fits, doesn't it ?
Why is it that half the characters I relate to end up being the ones I have the fiercest beef against !?
Well, at least I have the other half to look up to.
The idea that Destiny Island's fall to darkness was caused by Riku prying open the door with the wooden sword is SO good.
the animation is absolutely beautiful! i especially love the hair flip. hair isn't always easy to animate
This song is perfect for Riku!!
Poor Riku
No one ever thought crossing over to the darkness could look majestic, but you did it. You did it. You incredible s.o.b. 🥹
this is so good
Wow. I am in disbelief at how amazing this is.
The technical skill here is phenomenal
That's such a cool twist on the song omg!!
I've had a similar AMV in my head, although I feel the normal version is Kairi's and the minor key version is Riku.
ahhh!!!! this is so so cool! Riku's my fav, and I thought this song worked so well for him too! the animation is so smooth and art style is stunning, very well done :) loved the manipulative talk from ansem at the start, added a great bit of storytelling and a unique touch ❤

Yo this fucking rules dude. Absolutely perfect and makes me feel the Big Feelings about riku and his arc
This is why Riku is my favorite :)
Dang! Riku has some golden chords!
The hair movement and everything, it’s exhilarating to watch. Animation is just great! Love all the new kingdom hearts animators coming out! ❤
Damn I can’t tell you how much I love this. Not only is this an”I want song” it also shows Riku wanting more. He didn’t care how he got off the island in KH1 and when he got back in KH2 you could FEEL it. If it had ended there nothing else it would still be my favorite game franchise of all time.

Oh wow...... this was really good and it matches Riku. Now I want a remake of KH.
Love this! He found freedom in darkness
Shoutout to all the people who thought Riku was a girl when they first saw him.
I never realized just not only this song fits Kingdom Hearts, but the movie in general
this is the best video on the internet
Holy moly, this was good. I was expecting an animatic, but you brought the FULL STOPS with the animation this year. I'm blown away!
I noticed with this style of Animation the roots in the secret place look like warped people.
this is such a clever re-imagining of the intended meaning of this song and the art is just phenomenal.
THE WAY YOU ANIMATE HIS HAIR IS SO GOOD???
What an absolute banger. This should defo be a Kingdom Heart fandom heritage animation. Good work!
This is absolutely beautiful. Idk what march carapace is but if it means kool kingdom hearts stuff every yr thts great. This is gorgeous, if the song could be covered for this it'd be absolutely perfect. The animation is gorgeous if a kingdom hearts anime looked like this id just die 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
GOD, THIS IS SO GOOOOD
CRIES SCREAMS THROWS UP ETC
JUST
OUGH
*RIKUUU*
That was actually pretty good
SO GOOD! I love the flickers at 2:20
jesus christ this is good. I really need to applaud the quality of animation. you had to haeput in a lot of work for this and it shows. and this realy fits Riku back in kh 1.
STRAPS
makes a great villain song for riku
Sora beating up Selphie is so accurate
HOLY SHIt! WOW
Woah...That was powerful
I love this so much. the animation is so good.
also riku transmasc confirmed
this is such a good song for him. cant wait to see a moana world
Moana’s island community needs to be one of the worlds Riku explores.
Damnit NOW I NEED A KINGDOM HEARTS MUSICAL
Guess I'm crying this midnight
I LOVE this. It really lines up with what we see from Riku in Re:CoM
