    Aqua's arc would have been much better if they actually described her relationship with Ven and Terra as a family. A) They basically are as they've been raised together. B) She treats them more like younger brothers than friends with the way she tries to mother them. Replace friendship with family in half the lines and suddenly both her desire to protect them and he perchance to act quite passive aggressive whenever she's around them would seem a lot more natural.

    • @attorney_rosa
      @attorney_rosa 2 роки тому +15

      Agree. The first time I played bbs, the friendship theme isn't really match for wayfinder trio dynamic and it bugged me. From bodybuild you can tell that terra and aqua is older and ven is 1 on sora's age. Ven is definitely that innocent boy wanted to see the outside world, aqua is the most motherly figure in the game, and terra is passable to become older brother or even a dad. Then I read the novelization and some of japanese lines. They are more connotations that they indeed a family. Take a look at radiant garden scene where ven gives agua and terra the disney pass. Instead of bringing 2 grown ups, ven called them 'parents' in japanese.
      My guessing is that they wanted to make wayfinder trio a friend group rather than family for english release. Which I prefer that they still keep up the family concept, like in japanese. Family makes much more sense, and the story much more amusing and heartbreaking. It is like watching family being shattered by evil guy
      Thus makes aqua story much more heartbreaking. Is like a mother trying to bring the family back together

    As much as I love Aqua... yeah, this is pretty true.
    Although Aqua does come off as more like a mother towards Ven, while Terra seems like a big brother to him. They have a very different relationship than any of the other trios. It's interesting to think about, but some of those scenes, like the beginning one, are kinda just... poorly written.
    And personally, I believe the thing Aqua struggles with the most is doubt. Each of the BBS trio has a specific flaw: Terra is trusting too easily, Aqua is doubting too easily, and Ven is being gullible (I actually think he's the one who acts like an idiot out of the three, which makes sense).

  • @RCDeschene
    @RCDeschene 6 років тому +5

    I think that was the whole point of her character. She was the only character deemed Master at the start of the game and went about her story as such. That moment in Radiant Garden, as pointed-out by Ven, revealed her flaw that she was more concerned about her mission from Eraqus than Terra's desperate struggle to prove himself or Ven's lonely desire to be with his friends.
    I agree that the portrayal of friendship by the BBS trio at the beginning of the game was as a lot more subtle than the kind portrayed at the start of KHI, but that's also because of the vastly different circumstances between the two instances. The Terra/Ventus/Aqua scenario introduces us to three already established Keyblade students of two young adults and a freshman in what's practically a boarding school world, where as we meet the Sora/Riku/Kairi band as just three naive kids on a island looking for adventure. So, there definitely a distinct range of experience and maturity between the two groups.
    This is why, in my opinion, Aqua's real struggle was, not so much entirely the friendship gig, as much as it her being trusted with the Master title too soon. Eraqus' misjudged Aqua's emotional maturity as a Mark of Mastery when it turned-out she still had a pessimistic habit of doubting others in times of crisis and then herself when stuck in darkness. This is made clear during the Phantom Aqua battle in 0.2 when it admits that "[she's] no Keyblade Master". 0.2 helped Aqua realize that and rebuilt her to where she can now bear that title more confidently.

    Wow... I'm used to memes and joke videos on this channel but...
    This was actually an excellent video (actually in the sense that it wasn't acting as a parody, but a well thought out analysis on Aqua's character). Yes, other people have brought up that Aqua's character in BBS is bad and that the parallel of friendship between Sora, Kairi, Riku is far superior to that of Terra, Aqua, and Ven, but Just a Pancake went further beyond and not only found examples in BBS that save Aqua's character but also about how 0.2 makes Aqua so relatable.
    It's a good thing Aqua's name means "Subscribe to Just a Pancake" because a video like this makes me glad I subscribed.
    The memes are good too, but this video is the icing on the p̶a̶n̶cake.

      @loren5432 6 років тому +6

      M0bileKeys I never knew people cared so much about both trios friendship.
      Then again, I don't really care about the story, because it got convoluted after KH1, and it started to seem that they made up new plots at random to keep the series going. Everything from the very moment in which nobodies were introduced is just..ugh. (Not saying KH was a masterpiece; it wasn't, but it had a far more simple and engaging plot with your typical cliches rather than a convoluted story who tries so hard to get an emotion out of you and be original through whatever shit they come up with). It also doesn't helps that any newcomer to the series has to go start from KH 1 (still fun but you can see it's dated, even with Final Mix version) to AT LEAST have an original idea of what's going on.
      I can't believe I'll say this, but I'd rather have Sora run around Disney World like an idiot instead of running around the edgy, melodramatic FF themes it tries to have. If they truly wanted to make a game that held on his own through good story, then they should have shoved KH aside.

      KH 1 is too childish and alas is deprived of really interesting characters except Riku.
      In fact, it is in KH2 that all the fun begins.
      It is thanks to the second part that everyone loves this franchise.

    • @loren5432
      @loren5432 6 років тому +7

      Nukara Rikova That's just you and few other people. Just check on the forums; most people agree that after Chain of Memories, the story gets too convoluted to be interesting.
      People love KH2 because of its amazing gameplay, not the story. KH was childish indeed, but that's because it was targeted at children, not adults.

    • @LionNukara
      @LionNukara 6 років тому +1

      What ?! You probably have not read much of the forums. For the second part is just praised for the appearance of drama and a more adult story.
      Many have been touched by the Roxas story and I do not know, it's necessary to be completely heartless to the point where Roxas says his last words about the end of the vacation did not cause you any feelings.
      Tell me though about one moment in KH1 which would have reached the drama and the plot turns to 2 parts? Except for the moment where Sora beats himself by the Kiblade.
      And tell me, what's so bad about a complicated plot?
      Or do you like that you are being held for a five-year-old child and popping out the chewed information as Disney does (the benefit is that the new cartoons have become more intelligent and less trivial and predictable) or where the plot moves can be predicted for many years, as it was with the Tobi personality in Naruto.
      Yes, and in fact an unnecessarily complicated plot was in DDD in other games if you just strain your brain, everything will be clear.

    Just a Pancake, let me preface this by saying that I almost never subscribe to anyone. There are only a handful of channels on my subscription list, and you sir are on it. For so long, I've been forced to listen to everyone raving about how Aqua is the best character in the whole franchise. But now, finally, I've met someone who was perfectly able to describe exactly all the problems I've always had with her. You sir, are a gentleman and a scholar! I've thoroughly enjoyed all your videos so far, and don't mind you popping up on my notifications list (which normally is so annoying!) Just keep doing what your doing, because it's working for you!

  • @DarkfoolDave
    @DarkfoolDave 4 роки тому +12

    Honestly Terra, Aqua and Ven have a strange type of friendship. It's not a social relationship, but a martial one. They aren't really friends, but comrades. They definitely care about each other, but it feels more like the relationships I've had with the people I fenced with in college. Or people who go to a dojo and practice a strict martial art. I think the competitive nature of what binds them together puts up these little barriers that prevent them from really letting their guards down around each other. Couple this with the fact that they don't really have anyone else to socialize with, then you get all those awkward moments between them when they try to reach each other on a personal level. Though every attempt is an honest one, they're literally a bunch of socially awkward teenagers trying to figure things out. It's fascinating, I think. Sora, Riku, and Kairi all seem much more socially adjusted with each other. Pettiness and jealousy drive Sora and Riku apart in KH1, but past that I think their relationships are pretty stable.

  • @amirgarcia547
    @amirgarcia547 3 роки тому +4

    Dayum, this’s actually a pretty deep and insightful analysis sometimes tbh. I guess even after playing BBS, the reason I still found Xion to be my favorite female KH character is that she actually struggles throughout the course of the game, whether it due to being shunned by Riku and Saïx or eventually learning that she’s nothing more than a hollow puppet meant to serve the organization’s goals, which’s to basically SUCC all of Sora’s (and to an extension Roxas) memories and power after the organization failed to capture him. And then her main struggle is in either confronting this and returning to Sora or remaining with her friends. And she ultimately ends up paying the price for it in her final clash with her close friend...
    Aqua meanwhile felt the least interesting and fleshed out of the Keyblade trio imo. Terra struggled with the darkness in his heart and controlling it, basically making him Riku 2.0 (or 1.0, since he technically came first), whereas Ventus had his naïveté shattered by realizing his friendship wouldn’t last forever and learned what his true purpose is. Aqua just...well, more or less exists in order to help her friends, which makes her lack an identity of her own.
    But then we fast forward to 0.2, where I felt *much* more invested in her character since here we struggle with fighting in the realm of darkness, and being there for so long has truly taken a toll on her mind and made her have doubts and insecurities in her actions. A part of her truly wants to give up and give into the darkness, and yet a small part still doesn’t want to lose hope, hence why she desperately chases the mirages of Terra and Ventus she sees. And in the end, even with presented to a chance to finally escape, she instead sacrifices her freedom in order to save Riku and Mickey, which’s truly selfless and noble.
    So tl;dr, 0.2 definitely improved Aqua despite its super short length, and I’d say she more than deserved her happy ending once KH3 eventually rolled around.

    • @mishoa1
      @mishoa1 5 років тому +4

      You must have played a different game than, becuase KH3 completed her arc. Aqua's problem has always been trying to take too much on by herself. She's still fighting the darkness in the deepest place even without a keyblade after all. She literally was stripped of everything, and when Sora reaches his hand out, she takes it, knowing that even with nothing she was never alone.(her good friend actually being inside Sora and really being the one reaching out to her)
      they even took off the pressure of her being the only "master" during this crisis unlike before, and even showed that her time spent in the darkness still effects her(the scene with the huge swarm) and it wasn't just a one off thing that she overcame the second she was back in the light.
      There's wasn't much more you could expect from the character, like at all. Roxas and Xion turned out to be much worse characters overall, they had minimal pay off in 3 for their arcs.

    • @photonalchemist6574
      @photonalchemist6574 5 років тому +6

      Seeing her ready to fight again at the end of 0.2 established her as someone who doesnt give up. 3 kinda does away with this by having her not do anything. The scene where she gave up was also out of character. What she shouldve done is, as the strongest wielder there, gone up to attack it like riku did. Seeing her get overpowered by the tornado would instill the sense of hopelessness that the scene was trying to present.

    As an Aqua fan, I can 100% agree with this analysis. At first I thought Aqua being all moody and depressed in 0.2 was a bit weird, but then I realized, "Oh yeah, she's been spending the last decade or so in the Kingdom Hearts equivalent of actual Hell with endless hordes of monsters constantly trying to eat her heart, I wouldn't exactly be all smiles and friendship at that point either". Frankly the fact that she's able to keep fighting the darkness at that point at all speaks volumes to why she is considered a Master. Hopefully when Kingdom Hearts 4 comes out 17 years from now we'll get to see Aqua's personality when she's not completely bogged down by worrying about her friends. At this point the gang's been reunited, there's no Terra falling to darkness or Ventus taking the most epic power nap in the universe to live rent free in her head anymore, so hopefully we'll get to see a side of Aqua that doesn't need "She cares about her friends, Terra and Ventus" added to the description.
