Sora and Riku were friends who actually respected each other and their rivalry was just friendly sportsmanship that only got warped into enmity due to the machinations of Maleficent and Ansem. Sasuke was way too out of Naruto's reach to be his rival and disrespected almost everyone because he was genetically superior to almost everyone. Sasuke and Naruto don't share any goals and have no reason to be enemies in fact Naruto should have let Sasuke leave as it would have benefitted him. not once was that guy his friend which might make sense since Naruto nearly got Sasuke killed in the Land of waves. Riku and Sora are practically bros while Naruto deludes himself into thinking Sasuke was a friend because of his deserved loneliness when at best they were coworkers. Sasuke did try to somewhat work with the treasonist but Naruto sabotaged that through his incompetence and immaturity. Sasuke the model citizen eventually betrayed his village because of his lust for power and revenge whether or not Orochimaru manipulated him through his magical fangs. Also Riku actually had a redemption arc Sasuke just said " Yeah...sorry." and never faced consequences for his treason. Riku has true remorse while that privileged, red-eyed mutant elitist could care less about how his actions effect other people. Riku to me was a better character, friend, rival, and person.

Kingdom hearts really changed my life. EVERYTHING down to the music in this game was so real. Made you feel like you were really there fighting for your friends
Playing this game as a child really laid the ground work for the kind of person I became. This was the first time I saw these emotions being dealt with in media, and so I kinda absorbed it's philosophy.
"Come.." "Show me your power!" "Welcome Oblivion!" "Behold the power of darkness.." "Come on, is that it?" "Come Guardian!" "Submit!" "What do you hope to accomplish? Do not deny it." "Take this!"
"Take THIS!" "Come, Guardian!" "SUBMIT!!!" "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "My strength returns." "What do you hope to accomplish?" "Do not deny your fear." "The final darkness is nigh." "SUBMIT!!!!" "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." "Come, open your heart." Rinse and repeat until he finally dies.
I remembered that this was the most hardest boss battle I've ever faced in kh. I've died so many times, I cried after maybe 8 times and stopped playing this for a few years. Then I went back on it again and FINALLY beaten Riku -Ansem. It felt SO good to finally finish the game after all these YEARS 😩
yeah i wanna say this is the anakin vs obi wan fight but better i mean Riku is like Anakin in a way where he submitted into darkness but at least HE didnt kill little kids

One of my favorite boss themes ever! Yoko didn’t have to go this hard but she did and I love it! I can’t decide which is my favorite boss theme. This one or Nachtflugel!
Probably one of the most nerve-wracking boss fights I ever had when I was 13 years old (now I'm 31). I must have died about 17-20 times. Having gotten one of my best friends into the series since last year, I got to hear him react to every boss fight over the phone. Before he even got the game, I would talk to him about the series and how insane some things were, and that made him want to get into it. He gets to his fight and wonders about why so many people found it hard... and then the Dark Aura shit happened. He wanted to identify with my experience, so he didn't skip the cutscenes. By the third try, he KNEW what I was talking about, and then beat Riku at like attempt 5, lol
*dodge rolls with fast reflexes and avoids everything with extreme speed and precision because I didn't think about just flying above it all* Shit Thanks for the tip
guys forze del male means forces of evil and forze dell'oscurita means forces of darkness.I dont know i was so happy when they put an italian named song in birth by sleep and kingdom hearts 1.I am italian so i was wanting to share whit you this
The first time I played this game I thought that this was the final boss of the game. It just had that "this is the last boss" kind of vibe to it with the build up and the music that went with it.
Lokk closely at riku's keyblade you can see that at the blade is forming an incomplete heart (that is why that the keyblade's name is "the key to ones heart")
I always use the Olympus keyblade on him; that heightened attack priority is a godsend to keep from being stunned just by swinging while he does. Plus you can counterattack for some MP if you clash swords with him with high priority.
Dear god, it was endless torture for me to watch the whole cutscene in kh1,only to get beaten up and die, just so I could watch the scene again,with no way to skip it. Bloody hell.
The funny thing of all this is that there's a place at the botton left of the field where you cannot be damaged by the dark aura, like a gap in the attack scheme or a bug in the game... realized after been murdered by Riku thousands of times XD
It was one of the most confusing things emotionally as a kid to fight Riku. It's so terrifying to have to fight your best friend and this music helps that idea, but there is also the part that Riku is willing to be on the side of darkness which makes it so hard to understand. Of course it's mostly revealed what happened, but before knowing was really intense.
When Riku defeated Ansem, he returned to the true Dreaming Worlds because Ansem's power was what made him a Dream Eater. In this game, we found out that Ansem was a freaking powerful being.
"The Princess's heart is responding! It has been there all along. Kairi's heart rests within you!" "It is I, Ansem, the seeker of darkness!" "So, I shall release you now, Princess. Complete the Keyhole with your power. Open the door! Lead me into everlasting darkness!"
I miss this game. Feels so different from every KH title from KH2 onward. I miss Riku's dark form, I miss Ansem being the big bad, and I miss the story when it was simple and clean, and not the clusterfuck it is now. KH1's story still makes no sense, but it really knew how to tug at heartstrings. I refer to this game as "Where the Wild Things Are: Final Fantasy edition". But the thing I miss most is KH1 Hollow Bastion. It had this epic, mystical, intimidating feel to it, like a dark castle from a fairy tale. Radiant Garden looks like shit now.
Yes, I hated hollow Bastian because of how hard it was, but it was so incredible. It just felt so endgame and appropriate. Radiant gardents doesn't have anything to do with the OG hollow bastian. Instead of mystical gravity defying waterfalls, sewers, castles, a portal to the realm of darkness, a grand library, teleporters and all the great things about the original, we get scrooge mcduck and his fucking icecream
Yamishi Ikeda i so much agree with you,The plot is getting ridicolous with plot twists that contradict every plot stated before and pratically boils down "it's all Xehanort's fault " with the Organization Thirteen being the "thirteen hearts of darkness and 7 of light" just to make up for the stupid plot The hollow bastion was better in KH1 i believe that Nomura is like George Lucas they've ruined by meddling birth by sleep directly into the KH trilogy i used to love it,but with each installment it makes even less sense and more stupid things happen "Darkness is evil" appears to be the motto these days in KH the radiant garden is a cliche "Dark place used to be beatiful until a bad guy corrupted it"
Yea this game was hard as a kid, but this fight, this fight was basically everyone’s wake up call that the game isn’t messing around anymore and is about to get way more challenging
It took me 8 years to realize that the head to the keyblade that Riku/Ansem is wielding has a missing heart as an outline. Putting 2 and 2 together, I guess it represents the fact that the keyblade was forged from the Princesses of Heart's hearts and that there's one heart missing; Kairi's.
me too until i found a way not to get hit,which took me forever to realize that there is this one spot where he's not coming through when he uses the move he always used to beat me with.
Keyblade of Hearts is one half of the X-Blade. Ansem went about collecting 7 Lights while Xemnas went about collecting 13 Darknesses. Sora interrupted Ansem before he could completely forge the Light half of the X-Blade, by defeating him before he could forge Kairi's Heart into it.
As I was saying, the kingdom-key is not sora's base keyblade. The Dream-Sword is. The base keyblade comes to you in the Dive to The Heart usually. *Spoilers* For Sora it was the dream sword, for Riku it was the Soul-Eater (according to interviews with Nomura), for Xehanort it could have been the Aerial-blade like weapons he used in BBS, for Roxas it could have been the struggle-bat (ok, that one is a little far fetched).
Can't wait to hear the full orchestra version of this song in KH 1.5. Yes, they remade the soundtrack with high quality sounding orchestra instruments. And it sounds beautiful!
The battle itself was hard but nothing impossible. The fact you could not skip the cutscenes was *extremely* tedious. It's the equivalent of fighting Ornstein & Smough but everytime you die you have to re-watch the entirety of the Dark Souls opening. Pretty shitty comparison, but it's the only one that comes to mind right now XD.

Remember when this guy was basically the Sasuke of Kingdom Hearts?
Our boy has grown so much.
Sora and Riku were friends who actually respected each other and their rivalry was just friendly sportsmanship that only got warped into enmity due to the machinations of Maleficent and Ansem. Sasuke was way too out of Naruto's reach to be his rival and disrespected almost everyone because he was genetically superior to almost everyone. Sasuke and Naruto don't share any goals and have no reason to be enemies in fact Naruto should have let Sasuke leave as it would have benefitted him. not once was that guy his friend which might make sense since Naruto nearly got Sasuke killed in the Land of waves. Riku and Sora are practically bros while Naruto deludes himself into thinking Sasuke was a friend because of his deserved loneliness when at best they were coworkers. Sasuke did try to somewhat work with the treasonist but Naruto sabotaged that through his incompetence and immaturity. Sasuke the model citizen eventually betrayed his village because of his lust for power and revenge whether or not Orochimaru manipulated him through his magical fangs. Also Riku actually had a redemption arc Sasuke just said " Yeah...sorry." and never faced consequences for his treason. Riku has true remorse while that privileged, red-eyed mutant elitist could care less about how his actions effect other people. Riku to me was a better character, friend, rival, and person.

Instead of mystical gravity defying waterfalls, sewers, castles, a portal to the realm of darkness, a grand library, teleporters and all the great things about the original, we get scrooge mcduck and his fucking icecream
Yamishi Ikeda i so much agree with you,The plot is getting ridicolous with plot twists that contradict every plot stated before
and pratically boils down "it's all Xehanort's fault " with the Organization Thirteen being the "thirteen hearts of darkness and 7 of light" just to make up for the stupid plot
The hollow bastion was better in KH1
i believe that Nomura is like George Lucas
they've ruined by meddling birth by sleep directly into the KH trilogy
i used to love it,but with each installment it makes even less sense and more stupid things happen
"Darkness is evil" appears to be the motto these days in KH
the radiant garden is a cliche "Dark place used to be beatiful until a bad guy corrupted it"
Yamishi Ikeda You do know the big bad is still the same guy, right?
Really upset they didnt put this in smash.
Here it comes!!
Heal from THIS!!
Come, open your hearts to Darkness!!!
Show me your power!
My skills have failed me...
Welcome oblivion!
DominionWolf show me your power
prince vegeta Already did that. Sorry. :\
Yea this game was hard as a kid, but this fight, this fight was basically everyone’s wake up call that the game isn’t messing around anymore and is about to get way more challenging
Favorite part is 0:45 to 0:55
Mine too :)
same
It screams, fighting a best friend...a brother I once knew...
Fighting him on proud mode for ps2 was my worst nightmare
SHOW ME YOUR POWER
No escape!
Useless.
It took me 8 years to realize that the head to the keyblade that Riku/Ansem is wielding has a missing heart as an outline.
Putting 2 and 2 together, I guess it represents the fact that the keyblade was forged from the Princesses of Heart's hearts and that there's one heart missing; Kairi's.
I swear I've had that entire cutscene memorized at some point cuz I died so many times.
me too until i found a way not to get hit,which took me forever to realize that there is this one spot where he's not coming through when he uses the move he always used to beat me with.
"Behold the power of darkness"
Keyblade of Hearts is one half of the X-Blade. Ansem went about collecting 7 Lights while Xemnas went about collecting 13 Darknesses. Sora interrupted Ansem before he could completely forge the Light half of the X-Blade, by defeating him before he could forge Kairi's Heart into it.
1:30-1:40
2:53-3:04 Those parts of the song are always stuck in my head
The picture is so weird and yet epic at the same time. How can this be?
As I was saying, the kingdom-key is not sora's base keyblade. The Dream-Sword is. The base keyblade comes to you in the Dive to The Heart usually. *Spoilers* For Sora it was the dream sword, for Riku it was the Soul-Eater (according to interviews with Nomura), for Xehanort it could have been the Aerial-blade like weapons he used in BBS, for Roxas it could have been the struggle-bat (ok, that one is a little far fetched).
Can't wait to hear the full orchestra version of this song in KH 1.5. Yes, they remade the soundtrack with high quality sounding orchestra instruments. And it sounds beautiful!
I don't know if it's the unskippable cutscene or the battle itself that made this the Dark Souls of its time?
The battle itself was hard but nothing impossible.
The fact you could not skip the cutscenes was *extremely* tedious.
It's the equivalent of fighting Ornstein & Smough but everytime you die you have to re-watch the entirety of the Dark Souls opening.
Pretty shitty comparison, but it's the only one that comes to mind right now XD.
Here it comes! Here it comes! Is that it? Show me your power! Heal this!
" *I'M UNSTOPPABLE!*
*YOU LIKE IT?!*
*WHO'S STRONGER?!*
*I'M DONE WITH YOU!*
*TRY AGAIN!*
*LATER!*
*D A R K N E S S!* "
*ONE MORE!*
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW POWERFUL I AM!
Riku: Teleport spam
Me at the edge where he can't hit me:
👁👄👁
"Show me your power!"
*hits his blade*
"Useless."
This famous battle return in KH3 !
Me: this boss is actually pretty hard.
My first ex: no he's not. *Was on standard and was over leveled*
Me: *was underleved and on proud.* Huh.
Woah! You basically uploaded them all! This is brilliant!!
Riku: Open your heart to darkness
Me: *internal screeching*
Sora: Aaaaou
Screen: Continue / Load Game
I like the guy in the first game who beat us all within a half inch of our lifes ends of saving us in DDD
Wish this song was in Smash with Sora but hey ho not to be sadly
That fight with Riku is STILL the best fight of any KH game ever. SOOOOO epic! ^^
Come Guardian!
My Strength is Returning!
Insolent!
Submit!
Take this!
Ahahahahahahaha ha!
Help!
Goofy!
You hear it twice. Once against Ansem in Hollow Bastion and once against Ansem at World's End.
Kairi...Kairi's Inside Me?
Thank you for putting this up. :) (Child hood memories flash before my eyes)
I'm surprised this track, or more specifically it's I.5 remix wasn't included in Smash
My nightmare when I was a kid.. This was the hardest boss I had ever fought in any video game
Night Rise
...fast forward to the sephiroph fights and the lingering will fight...
Comrade Dolman And Young Xehanort in Birth by Sleep... This would be the first but it definitely wasn’t the last hardest boss I’d face and defeat :/
*_*Uses strike raid*_*_ XD_
My strength return. What does your heart desire? Do not deny it. Final Darkness is at hand.
~Ansem.
This should have been in Ultimate.
