The Superbosses of Kingdom Hearts | A Brief Retrospective
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 тра 2024
- This is a re-upload of my KH superboss retrospective. The original had some audio issues that bothered me and I was finally able to get around to fixing it up some.
I highly recommend watching superboss-specific videos for more in depths details. There's a lot of neat bits I didn't cover here. Also if you saw me be bad at a fight, no you didn't.
This video was created as a part of March Caprice 2024, a Kingdom Hearts fan event. Please check it out!

Corrections/Notes:
1. Mysterious Figure in Birth by Sleep was actually added in the international release. It was not present in the original Japanese release.
2. I included Monstro since his Arena fight is just his boss fight like the other superbosses. I know he isn't the most difficult but he's setup sort of like them and his fight is neat to me.
A little cool detail about all these bosses is how they all collectively fuck my ass up the same
SHADOW WIZARD MONEY GANG. WE LOVE CASTING SPELLS🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
The cool thing about the Unknown boss fight is that its a KH2 fight in KH1
Unknown kicked my ass so hard. Probably the most memorable moment I had with KH 1 Final Mix.
EJ: "to get some digital trophies on playstation?"
Me: YEAH!
EJ: "no for glory"
Me: "Oh yeah..."
To this day I still haven’t beaten lingering will
You can just cheese him with the air attack and the Fenrir KB.
I beat him in 5 tries 🤓🧂

As a sucker for superbosses in Square Enix games, I set myself out on a journey to beat KH2 AND KH3 on level 1 Critical mode. The journey is slow and tiring but I am now at the point in BOTH games where I am facing the data org battles and boooy are they trying my patience!
20:16 I think it's worth mentioning that these two bosses need some ridiculous preparations in order to reach them. SkywardWing's "The Kingdom Hearts Secret Boss NO ONE Knows About!" goes into these requirements in detail, but tl;dr especially Bugged Riku requires the usage of StreetPass like features that makes even reaching the boss borderline impossible for a normal player. Though as SkywardWing demonstrates, there is a workaround with some emulation trickery, but is a longwinded process.
We are cut from the same cloth. Love the Sonic Adventure theme, 20 years later still hoping for a Chao comeback.
Calling it 179 killed me 😭
I just want to let you know that I see and really appreciate the BoJack horseman reference at the beginning of the video
I was, like, "... have I seen this video before?" lol Oh well, just as entertaining and informative the 2nd time around!
Shoutout to decisive pumpkin and retaliate combo in kh2, that’s how I beat sephy the first time
Yozora gotta be one of the greatest jrpg bosses of all time
it's pretty incredible how they were able to combine A+ gameplay with A+ cinematics. i really didn't think they could pull it off. i held kh2fm superbosses up as the gold standard and thought they should try and just follow that formula because it couldn't get better, but i was wrong. the kh3 superbosses are more fun to fight, less gimmicky, have less bullshit unfair mechanics and look much better. there are a few kind of lame attacks on a few of the bosses (vanitas has a few stupid attacks that are borderline unreactable and yozora's mech phase of his dm come to mind), but overall the fights are able to blend the visual beauty of kh3 in with an incredibly fun and satisfying combat system without it feeling like you're watching a cutscene like was often the case in the base game, or like the control is being taken from the character in any way. i really didn't think they had it in them but yeah, yozora really was one of the best bosses i've ever fought and the data bosses are just as high quality.

Great video. When you got to the bbs section, you somehow made the bosses sound fun and interesting, but as someone that platinumed bbs on critical, none of them are really fun :(. giving bbs a d rank at the end felt very deserved
Kh3 data fights and yozora are my favourite boss fights in any game. At this point I defeated most of them with pro codes on critical, but my first run (critical) against them is unforgettable, both for difficulty and their amazing design. Also I can't believe how hard Yoko Shimomura went with every single OST in these fights, just amazing.
I'm not gonna lie, dude: seeing how beautifully well these KH graphics and combat animations aged, and how dope these bosses look, I'm *really* tempted to get fully invested into the games.
I personally recommend that you give it a shot. The 1.5 + 2.5 collection is a great place to jump in if you want to get into the series.
Hey, Phantom Aqua in 0.2 would be a preparation for ReMind where there are red glow attacks all over the place that shatter guards
Loved the Shadow Wizard Money Gang references. Good video. Subbed.
Loved the Bojack reference at the very beginning!
Always have a part of me that wants to tackle the super bosses, but I'm not sure I'll ever have the persistence to pull them off. I've only ever beaten Kurt Zisa/Phantom/Ice Titan in KH1, and Sephiroth in Kh2, so there are quite a lot I haven't managed at all (I used tornado cheese with ventus the Vanitas fight in BBS but I don't feel like I can accept that xD)
There's always a part of me that wants to, but I won't be surprised if at best I can get myself to beat KH1 Sephiroth if I pick up the series again. Data Org and the like all feel so daunting to me lmao
I don't know what the difference is, but it's still a great video.
Kh3 may have not been a perfect game by pacing standards but it perfected the combat, the data fights feel more like a dance after learning them, since on critical you get hit once and end up at 1 hp. And being designed to be played at max level they don't leave room for grinding, the only thing between losing or winning is YOUR physical execution
Thx u for this vid elbow juice
Mysterious Figure is easily the worst superboss of the first game. It's literally just a technical, learn-as-you-go fight until he fuckin' whips out the random-ass command-menu-instant-death if you don't get lucky. It's luck. I've seen so many strategies, tutorials, all of it. When you play that fight, you're just praying to every god you can think of that you nail it or you literally just die. Fuck that boss for that reason alone.
Seph was fun to learn.
I like for the SA2 themes and video concept
You forgot a boss. There is a boss called Unknown Heartless which fought in BBS Final Mix. You fight him in the secret episode
What about the the super boss from KH2s gummi ship mission?
We have the re:member fan mod by ven, but I can’t wait to see how Sora incorporates Yozora’s moves from the dlc.
kh2 video with sa2 music, a video made for me specifically
A Kingdom Hearts video with Sonic Adventure 2 music... I love it.
I didn't know that anyone else called it 179 Days.
😂that logo at the beginning go hard ngl
Biggest problem i had with kh3 was the endgame.
I was hoping it would be the first main game that was actually complete. So when I finished it, i never went back.
Being left completely unsatisfied with the superboss. I gave up on the game and unistalled. I just now found out there was dlc watching this video.
Im interested enough to try it again.
Also bbs was really cool with the battle deck imo. I really liked being able to customize my abilities. the experience made me forget i was playing a portable game at all.
the DLC is BY FAR the most fun I had with KH3, and I think that's a pretty shared sentiment with most people. new moves for Sora, the data org/yozora all feel more like KH2 bosses, and a bunch of juiced up themes for the data real-org fights to make them all feel fresh and worth experiencing for alone.
also the remind episode was pretty cool and a little more satisfying of a finale than the base game, but i found it to be a little forgettable relative to limitcut stuff
How the hell you don't know about remind? I don't even fuck with DLC but Dragon Ball, Spider and Kingdom Hearts made me change my mind. Boy, do you even follow KH??? Not sorry cuz that shit came out years ago even if you didn't buy it... Talk about under a rock
This is a very interesting video.
Hell yeah new Elbow Juice upload!
re coded had the best command system
Judging from all the Sonic Adventure 2 inspired stuff, I'm guessing you're also a Sonic fan, aren't you?
Xemnas is the only kh1 superboss you can cheese afaik. You can loop him using gravity. It's not as trivial as negative combo spam but it's definitely cheese.
I still can't believe they've put Batman in there as a knight.
(joke at the design of Lingering Will)
I have a deep scar with mysterious figure
why did that kingdom hearts have the sa2 font
Heck yea
Watching sora use metal chocobo against bosses where you need to use magic (or at all, it’s awful) is painful. Higher MP = stronger spells (in KH1).
Fun fact back in the day when KH was new I defeated Sephieroph before I beat final fantasy 7
In the era of remakes, this would be a fantastic series to remake.
lol
bro you literally make all the fights sound like a cake walk... 😥😅
Not to ruin the illusion, but I'm on beginner mode for most of these and used EZ codes for KH3 footage 😂
@@elbow_juice same minus the footage part
I would say proud wasn't too bad but aside unknown i was over leveled and had ultima for the rest
Pretty sure the original kh on ps2 has Kurt Zisa Ice Titan and Sephiroth
Phantom was the only superboss in the original Japanese release on the PS2. For the international release, they added the bosses you mentioned.
Was the Final Boss Xion - Aladdin based on that KH1 secret boss?
My dumb ass forgot Xemnas uses Time so it makes sense that Gravity magic stuns him lmfao.
