#TheGamersJoint #KingdomHearts #reaction
It’s crazy how one of the best stories of the entire kingdom hearts franchise is being told through a mobile game. In my opinion they need to release Kingdom hearts 3.5: KH3 remind for current gen, KH melody of memory and a cinematic like X back cover that tells the story of Union Cross and Dark Road.
This might be my biggest gripe with the series, I literally can care less about playing this game on my phone, I’d rather watch and play it on my Current Gen
They just need to make it a manga or a 3d movie. These games are gacha cash grabs with very good stories.
this story is too complicated for no necessary reason
Agreed
@@apolloforabetterfuture4814
To be fair, I think an LN is most likely. Union X (as well as some other games from the series) has already been adapted into a light novel format.
I'd say it conveyed the story of UX pretty well, though barely had anything in terms of visual representation.
Im not gonna get over how the underclassmen succumb to darkness within minutes but Aqua was there for TEN YEARS!
10/10 voice acting btw
Aqua was a fully trained master. Upperclassmen were still in training and had a "Practice Trip".
And it seems that extra strong resistance to Darkness is one of conditions for passing Mark of Mastery (Riku literally passed his exams due to that).
Also it is implied that Corridors of Darkness have very high concentration of elemental Darkness (hence you need Coats or Armor) but Realm of Darkness had quite a large quantity of its Darkness compressed into Pureblood Heartless - which are dangerous due to their aggressive nature but at least concentration of Elemental Darkness is lower.
I mean Sora with "D" in Darkness resistance while extremely exhausted was pretty fine in KH2 taking his time on the dark shores chilling out with Riku.
@@Ghostel3591 Or, you know... there was an extremely strong dark being that the classmen weren't aware of that surprise attacked them and killed them before they could react? I feel like that's a much better explanation since Aqua only had the Heartless to deal with in the Realm of Darkness.
@@lukasruston8618 the ones who got attacked by Corrupted Baldr in Corridors of Darkness were underclassmen - and only ONE pair was attacked - Xehanort and Eraqus collapsed with their armor on w/o being attacked.
But seriously just look at Master Odin - compared to halftrained kids who were barely able to go on in this place with armor on... He just went there like a Light knife through butter and picked kids up w/o ANY PROTECTIVE GEAR. That's Keyblade MASTER for ya - Truly an example of "fear an old man in a profession were people die young".
@@Ghostel3591 Yeah but this person was talking about the underclassmen... also, no, all of them were attacked by Baldr/Darkness, you see all of the upperclassmen die because of them, you see Hermod and Urd killed by them and you can clearly see them stood by Xehanort and Eraqus when they collapse, you can even see them warping around in that scene, specifically throwing darkness at them. The only reason Xehanort and Eraqus survived I assume is cus Baldr was hesitant to kill Xehanort and Odin showed up before he could get himself to do it. The reason everyone died is 100% because Baldr/Darkness surprise attacked them and not because of any darkness in the corridors.
@@lukasruston8618 original comment was comparing Underclassmen and Aqua's performance in terms of handling toxic environment. Not their survival when attacked by being of Darkness in every possible place.
STRICTLY IN CORRIDORS OF DARKNESS/REALM OF DARKNESS.
Which I pointed out considering presentation throughout the series apparently work differently. If Realm of Darkness is a giant stockroom for dead worlds with Darkness condensed into sentient forms while low to medium concentrated Elemental darkness slowly corrodes Heart of anyone who gets there (because high concentration lumps became Pureblood Heartless and they don't spread Darkness via "Air") then Corridor is like a vent between with higher Elemental Darkness concentration but no Heartless in it (because you don't live in a ventilation shaft - you need to have standards)
Also we were discussing specifically THIS moment - an event between Baldr's killing spree in Enchanted Dominion and massacre in Scala Ad Caelum. Not about Baldr going out of his way to shank 2 out of 4 stuck there but their general resistance to a place compared to Aqua's - all 4 underclassmen who ended up in Corridor of Darkness (courtesy of Hades) were showing signs of fatigue even BEFORE Baldr showed up to kill one group - what happened to Eraqus and Xehanort (losing consciousness) would've happened to other two anyway but Baldr sped up the process by breaking their armor and leaving them at Death Door.
Basically if we want a more solid comparison just compare how well Master Odin handled this place compared to kids - which means KB Wielders with Mark of Mastery are supposed to have such levels of resistance to environment - hence Aqua being a master lasting so long in most likely less aggressive environment should be a logical end result of her achieving the Master rank.
It has been stated time and time again that Sora was the Understudy who was promoted to Leading Man. First taking up the Kingdom Key meant for Riku, and now the title of Child of Destiny meant for Xehanort. Kind of makes me wonder what other failed heroes Sora is going to need to take up the mantle for.
Clearly, Xehanort was a POTENTIAL child of destiny. He wasn't the one, but he had the same potential qualities of the one.
Your reaction to this always makes my day! Your reaction to Bragi as Luxu and Xehanort is the descendent of Ephemer was spot on, pretty much how we all reacted. Great job on the reaction Cynical. 😊
1:04:53 That lend me once to a theory how back in KH3, Ansem (Xehanort's Heartless) was trying to find Subject X who we assumed it could be Skuld, and if that's true than maybe he wanted to seek for her because she and his mother look the same, perhaps he thought they could be connected. Ansem DID says in KH3 that part of him wanted to defy his fate, thus he must have tried to seek his mother (maybe).
Also, someone needs to say some words for Woody, you know, after what he said to Young Xehanort in KH3
Completely worth the wait 👑
This game's story is awesome
This story uses the Disney worlds way better than any other Kingdom Hearts game. I hope the other KH games in the future will be just like this.
@@jahhun676. Doubt it on that front, but it might be a similar level of interaction if all goes well.
@@jahhun676 Disagree. I'd say they use Disney worlds as well as KH1 and KH3.
It was the realization that he had to sit there for 3 hours that killed me 🤣🤣
Sora might not be Special but Riku is, and Kairi is, and Ventus is, so Sora is special by Proxy. And this is because the Master made it so. So the Master took someone ordinary and he wrote them into a Story where their Role is special.
I think people misinterpret the child of destiny as being a chosen role the universe gives for some reason. But I think it's really just a description of someone from the book of prophecies, in basically the same way as the traitor. The person mentioned wasn't destined to be special, they just did those things, and that's what was written down. So Sora isn't special because a magic book said he is, he just chose to do good and because of that, managed to succeed, and that was written down as a prophecy.
BRUH!! Your reaction to the "As if!" was absolutely HILARIOUS!! 1:01:34
Everglow’s new timeline is absolutely incredible so far!
The voice acting I didn’t know I needed for this update 🤣😭
Lol
My guess is that Xehanort was supposed to be the "Child of Destiny" but he failed his tests against the darkness so Fate had to find a new one which is Sora Meanwhile Luxu manipulated the events so Xehanort would embrace the darkness instead of overcoming it
I think "Child of Destiny" is supposed to be one of the kids with "Empathic Link" ability - so Baldr, Xehanort and Sora had this trait... But it is quite questionable whether either of them IS the child of destiny.
Baldr - got corrupted, failure.
Xehanort - witnessed corruption, learned to cut empathic link to protect himself from "poisoning", thought himself to be "Child of Destiny" quite probably everyone got it wrong... Though if he still somehow survived... (14th vessel cough-cough)
Sora - while by the merit of being MC, he can turn out to be THE ONE.... But here we encounter the problem - Sora's defining trait from as far as KH1 was him NOT BEING A CHOSEN ONE - he was just a kid with "Empathic Link", a literal nobody, who got dragged into conflict to save his friends which in turn made him an ULTIMATE MONKEY WRENCH... He is not even that good of Keyblade Wielder - his Darkness resistance and knowledge of high arcane magic is lacking - hence he doesn't pass Mark of Mastery - But he is a good fighter, who relies on power of his team to empower himself (literally weaponised "Power of Friendship" w/o considering "Hurt" drawback which almost got him in DDD)... Heck, Sora is the ONLY character who USES SUMMONS.
I think that actual answer would be that NEITHER of them were Child of Destiny... And it will turn out to be someone else... For example Luxu's "True Dandelion" he smuggled out of Daybreak Town at the end of KHUX. This is Nomura's wild train ride - you never know what is next.
@@Ghostel3591 It's pretty fun to imagine a bad guy being a failed prior 'chosen one'
Sora the master of masters 🤷🏽♂️ ,but the child of destiny is just a title of some one with potential to save the day but luxu test Baldr and he end up failing hints to why he said what he said in the grave yard so basically they find child with potential test them by putting them thru shit see if they over come it and see IF THEY ARE THE ONE TRUE CHILD OF DESTINY which sora probably is since they thing that the other children of destiny fail at which each has they reason for giving into darkness ,sora over comes in each game which is why he the true child of destiny
@@jonnykong1235 but he didn't. Sora actually fell to Darkness. Several times. Once when he became Heartless... Another time almost went Baldr's way in DDD as Darkness outside and Accumulated "Hurt" inside got very close to breaking him - got saved by Ventus giving his armor to protect his Heart and Riku removing excess of Darkness.
Sora IS gifted with Empathy Link... But most likely he is not Child of Destiny but that True Dandelion Luxu whispered away from Daybreak Town.
Sora most likely will be the "makeshift emergency replacement" at best - not as durable as the REAL deal but he will be able to get through via shenanigans and Friendship ducttape. Lots of it.
I get it kinda like anakin skywalker , sora in this situation would be luke
It amazes me how good you‘re able to not spoil your self. That‘s a superpower bro. 😂
21:00 peak voice acting Jared! XD
After seeing the ending my mind was completely blown,there was so many questions running through my mind
I cried of laughter for 15minutes at 1:10:44
Once I saw my notification and looked at this video's thumbnail, I was Re:Mind-ed that I haven't seen yours yet.
I guess better late than never, at least w get to see it at the end of the year
I missed your videos man. Thank you for been back. I know you've been through a lot, and seen your reactions again makes me so happy.
I don't really have a lot of mutuals that like kh and this is like sharing the hype with someone.
Keep it up and again, Thank you!
I still believe in the theory of Vor being Kairi's Grandma. If someone can have more than one lifetime in KH, in other words REINCARNATION, Vor could still technically be Kairi's Grandma.
I don't know about that one, Chief.
I got meet the voice character for Masters of master (Ray Chase). He told me that he couldn't reveal the name but Masters of master is Sora's dad
We still need to solve the mystery of who Sora's mom and dad are because either they are terrible parents who don't care their child disappeared for years and is now kinda dead or they knew all along what his destiny was and played their role perfectly. I don't see it out of the realm of possibility that Xehanort being out to be sora's dad perhaps due to some wacky time travel thing and perhaps his mom is some keyblade master we have met or yet to meet.
Considering that Sora is meant to be a normal boy I think that he’s parents would be normal people
@@raheemaslam7363 normal as in what we consider normal or normal for what Namura considers normal because that's a huge difference. I am fine with him being just a random kid who fell into this but I suspect Namura will pull an it was all part X plan the whole time and Sora was really Y the whole time.
@@LestradeGames it’s what we consider normal because Nomura stated that Sora is someone you’ll find in every day life so you would assume his parents are the same
@TMVGemini24 (Pee) I feel like we’re gonna see Riku’s parents because his bloodline might be tied to Ephemer
35:24 those are the same darkness figures used at the end of union x. U right bro
Master of Masters gives me such Joker vibes 🤔. Can't wait too see him being a full fledged villain in kh4.
I am going to laugh if the MoM's name is Arumon or an anagram for Nomura lol. Because Nomura is JUST LIKE him, he knows all the answers and enjoys toying with us lol.
I just realized. Xehanort doesn’t have any friends, He was a baby in missing link so Xehanort thinks he has friends but it’s the player friends that he want to see. Xehanort was looking inside the player ❤️ so Xehanort thinks he its his friends but it’s really the player friends he looking for. Wow ! and at the end of dark road it’s makes it clear
Thought Baldr's room was a mental facility
42:57 the upper classmen must have been playing on critical mode xD
Your reaction to Luxu and the player was pure bliss 😂
Also, people keep saying the MC from Missing Link is the player in his second lifetime, but I don't think that's the case; Nomura tricked us into believing Xehanort was the player and look what happened. At this point, I'm expecting the player to actually be the villain of Missing Link 😂
Demon Tower did give Riku a nice fresh cut! Must of been the darkness!
I can't believe you edited out Eraqus walking like a carpet.
You skipped the best part 💀
'Is that eraqus ?'
'Yep walking like a carpet'
This was great. Thank you for uploading your reaction.
The second you came up with the voice for Baldr by chance, I died laughing 🤣💀, knowing full well what would happen. Biggest coincidence in a Dark Road watch-through lmfao.
I've been waiting for your upload before watching it myself. I'm about 22 mins in and I gotta say it was well worth the wait. Glad you're back bro 😁👍
1:15:16 My brain exploded because I tried to connect Sora and maybe being a "child of destiny".
Xehanort was trained / took care by the Player from KHuX and is the ancestor of Ephemer
and he carried the ability of "child of destiny" (1:07:25).
In Sora's case we even don't know Sora's predecessor / his parents. The mystery since KH1!
Maybe they are someone from KHuX similar to Xehanort or from a more near past, like KH Dark Road or BbS or maybe an even more distant past like pre-KHuX??
Or it was just a story plot device and there is nothing to worry about 😅 xD
But overall, Dark Road is a great story, which connects KHuX and all the present KH games very well, especially KH3.
But man, this story would be an amazing movie, if it was a ~3h animated movie instead of a 2d gacha visual novel 😭
Great video!
Xehanort’s great grandfathers 2nd brother, twice removed’s butler thats sora’s great grandfather XD. I’m joking obviously
The Master of Masters seems like he's there to deviate the path of the child of destiny. I wonder if Riku was supposed to be the chosen one then he embraced darkness. It would be awesome if the Master of Masters approached Riku in KH1 or before the events if KH1 and talk him out of his path. Which is why the keyblade took to Sora.
Remember the Child of Destiny has the power to become one with other Hearts. And Riku becomes Sora's Dream Eater, and bonds his Fate to Sora.
In KH1, the Light you see when they go into the Darkness is Riku Light touching Sora's Light. So they are the Child of Destiny as One.
So nice to see your reaction on this; been a long time coming indeed!
Listening to you read in character impressions made this the best dark road reaction I’ve seen on UA-cam
2:59
You can't believe it, Jared? Well don't worry, cause it looks like you're in good company.
I mean at Eraqus and Xehanort there :v
Thats right were not Xehanort we’re Xehanort’s foster parent
Well there has to at least have been 1 child of destiny prior to Xehanort otherwise Old Man Player wouldn't know about it. I think personally that Child of Destony simply refers to people like Xehanort and Sora who can sense what's in people's heart it just depends if they are egoodnor evil and if they ach8eve their destiny.
Really love four description for this video! So good I think!
1:01:33 "That's MUSHU! Obviously he traveled in the past and got a keyblade yeahh.
This just brightened my day. Glad to finally see your reaction, my guy!
So basically Jared wants Baldr to have James Earl Jones' voice?
I think pretty much everyone thought that the Child of Destiny was Baldr, or Xehanort, or possibly Riku (silver hair? could he also be a descendant of Ephemer?), but then it turned out to be this random kid in Sora. It still keeps Sora as this random normal kid that Nomura wanted (and Riku being related to Ephemer would make that even stronger, since he'f be of the Specialest Bloodline) while also solidifying his role for the Lost Masters arc. When you make a character see the future, its impossible to NOT have them see your protagonist, so I think this walks a good balance between making Sora special (which he's always been, Ansem talks about it all the way in DDD, this isnt a new concept), but not making him a classic Chosen One. He IS, but he's not the expected one. He came out of left field. I like that.
(So Nomura wouldn't be full blown lying, the truth is just a bit more complex than what we expected. It's not that surprising given that it's KH, lol. If this doesnt convince you, heck, he's changed his mind before. Saying that Roxas had Ven's heart inside him and thats what caused him to regain his feelings is an obvious example -- Roxas wouldnt be able to be his own person if his feelings came from Ven!)
That voice acting though, I laughed so hard 🤣🤣 especially at 27:55 - 28:32.
When old Xehanort says his hair loss is a "demonstration of my resolve" he is suggesting that he is so dedicated to his task that he has continued his quest into old age.
35:53 I still can't believe you completely skipped over the start of that scene cause you thought it was old 😭 had some real profound lines, too
Damn these kids for always hanging out in the same place :^p
im watching this at work, and at 39:04 , the voice you used for master odin walking away, i lost it XD my coworker just gave me a look XD
Looking healthy again my guy, glad to see it
God I’ve missed you. You doing videos, ESPECIALLY KH videos! And the many voices! #JaredforVAKHVillain I love you so much you have no idea! Definitely among my fave UA-camrs
On that ending conversation, I think Sora's "Special" I do not think he's "Unique" I think Dark Road is meant to show us that there are many others like Sora who go on varied different paths. (Xehanort/Baldur)
I think what sets Sora apart is just a never say die attitude, and the fact that he has what I think is the MOST FORESHADOWING ITEM IN THE ENTIRE SERIES... His basic Keyblade.
Nomura goes back and makes freaking everything important...
So why, tell me why. Does Sora (and Mickey for some reason?) have the Kingdom Key? Literally a "normal" key compared to other keyblades but the most ominous in it's name "Kingdom Key" literally "The Keys to the Kingdom" it's a term for having permission to do ANYTHING. But I've always suspected there's a more literal meaning.
I think there is a "Kingdom" that only the two Kingdom Keys can unlock. It's not Kingdom Hearts (we've proven that can be opened a MULTITUDE of ways) or if it is it's a MUCH more literal meaning of it because that keyblade is SO important and stands out to me so much.
I guess this confirms that Olympus collesium's underworld is where everyone goes when they die in Kingdom Hearts? Is Mufasa there I guess?
I was SHOCKED with all these plot twists!!!
We were THE OLD MAN?! XEHANORT IS A DESCENDANT OF EPHEMER?! WHAT?! THAT IS NUTS!!!
I think the "Child of Destiny" is Sora but Xehanort was thought to be since he had similar powers, in a similar sense to Luke in Star Wars being the Chosen One but they all originally thought it was supposed to be Anakin.
I like how xehanort amor is basically his xemnas amor in kh2
it killssss me too how its all on mobile!! but I am so glad I waited for your reaction to this ending, it was all too worth it seeing you get crazy hyped over Luxu and the bloodline!!
Also I listened to your voice acting just as if it was a part of the original , 10/10 xD
so happy to see your back uploading content ❤
1:19:10 Bro, what if Sora is a descendent of the Master of Masters?
Fantastic video! Love your reactions to mind blowing lore
The realization at 1:01:24 is Chef's Kiss
He has a full grown mustache now brilliant
interesting, i think i've just genuinely cried for the first time in like 6 years
22:41 There's 3 spaces when he says his name, my best guess is Asa (meaning Morning), or Rex ('cause Verm Rex?). IDK, but his man is messed up and I LOVE IT!
This ironically came out on my birthday... I had an awesome day because of this reveal
Totally forgot about dark road. Makes me said I can't even play the other mobile game anymore, I really liked that one.
THANK YOUUU FOR UPLOADING
Baldr’s heartless looks like an Occuria
I swear when Eraqus does his tantrum, it looks more like he has to pee.
The Lumiere voice caught me off guard and is SO GOOD.
Still rewatching this until we get anything for kh4 😢
5:02 is peak Jared 💀💀 this is the content we are here for 😂😂
Yea it cuts deep to know knowing that we raised the person that started all this trouble
Make Jared the master or masters after this immaculate voice over 🤣🤣🤣
Random thought, the white hair is showing some link to blood lineage, maybe riku can be a descendant of the ephemer tree, making xehanort a distant cousin uncle lol would make a little sense since he resonates alot now with Ansem. Very entertaining thought 🧐
48:42 no sinacle, you got it right the first time, Baldur is afraid of the darkness, since elsa isn't born yet, and he might be related to herm but if she gets possesed by that darkness then a Witch is the problem all along with maybe a demon mashed potatoe. that looks like poo.
Xehanort is like Anakin in stars wars as both were meant to be heros and save the worlds but fear and worries made them take the path to darkness.
Me getting to this part in God of War Ragnorok where the dark and light elves are fighting over the light.
If you get it, you get it.
i think its really cool Johnny Depp is a huge KH fan
Xehanort fits pretty well as a twisted perversion of the Child of Destiny prophecy.
If it wasn't 3 in the morning, I would be SCREAMING right now!! OMGGGGGG
Skipping to episode 7! Priceless! Lol
WE THE PLAYER ARE THE OLD MAN!!!!!!!!!!
I think Xehanort isn't really the child of destiny and wasnt never meant to be told that he was which probably made him incredibly cocky. Xehanort was never born in thr Destiny Islands and Sora was the one who saved the world from the darkness as it was supposed to darkness but he went so far as to change the whole history of the world in order for light to prevail. I'd say that and the fact he strongly feels everyone's emotions as well as shown plenty of times through the series like in kh3 when he grabs his heart in pain when Anna gets struck by that icicle and the fact that the Destiny Islands are truly his home unlike Xehanort shows that he is for sure the child of destiny.
A thing about the Child of destiny I've always considered is that maybe it might've been BOTH Xehanort and Sora, the two of them fulfil the condition the old player said, and they both had a hand at changing fate.
Edit: Not sure why I only watched this after 4 freaking months but here I am lol
ngl when you voiced baldr, you sounded like plankton from spongebob lmao
So I think the line where Xehanort says he's bald as a demonstration of his resolve doesn't literally mean he shaved his head for darkness, that'd be silly, but more like how his balding and overall aging shows how he devoted all his life in pursuit of knowledge and darkness.
Kingdom Hearts is a conspicuous name, and kingdoms typically are related to crowns, which signify Sora.
I really enjoy these upper class man character. Hopefully they get fleshed out in a few future.
28:26 and also, now I know why and how xehanort can't mentally controll Terra from hiw own body unless xehnort inserts himself like the puppet master he thinks he is. aaand now I'm even more confused, not to say tooo much but is Riku's stereo type more related to elsa's cuz I don't get them at all but to see that stereo type as distantly farther from earth than normal.
Baldr: Noooooooo
Also, what I think Baldr would say after.
Baldr: But who would I eat ice cream with?
Imma eed you to do another lore video after this information
Oh yeah right, so missing link is the player's second life's story. I wonder if Skuld will be find there and end up with a descendant of Ephemer, giving birth to Xehanort. Well I guess everybody has already thought about that so..
Man, I hope they make a book about these. I think that would be fire
You have drip with that mustache
I just loved the baldr voice
Bruh I was about to go to bed but this came on my watch later list and I'm in stiches! I can't follow the cellphone story cause like you said the 2d style and the weird way they speak isn't appealing but goddamn the voice acting you're doing brother is fantastic 🤣🤣🤣
1:01:23
THERE it is haha
