It makes sense, considering “ansem” and xemnas are a heartless and nobody created from when Master Xehanort possessed Terra. They have and are technically nothing...
Ansem: "Explore life, young men..!" 💪 Xemnas: "I screwed with lives and I'm actually sorry. Loneliness is pain, bro." ☹️ Young Xehanort: "I lost, but F**K YOUUU!!" 😈
Maybe all this time Ansem was fascinated by him. Riku rejected being all darkness and was powerful because of that. Since he was born Ansem thought the only true way to strength was darkness. He is half Xehanort half Terra, after all. Those two thought the same way. Plus he’s all heartless. And as a scientist, he can’t help but want to understand something he can’t comprehend. Maybe in a way he wanted to be like that. A wielder of Dawn. Who knows
Kinda late but it’s great closure for the both of them it shows Riku has far out grown the darkness in him and while Ansem will always be apart of him. It’s no longer a chain that holds him down. And I think it’s touching for old enemies to gracefully exit with respect for each other.
@@Nite-Rise NOPE NOPE NOPE AND SUPER NOOOPE ansem is just Is just Xehanort with a actual artificial body F that ansem is terra bull crap So sick of hearing that blue P crap Ansem is just the heart of Xehanort always ways Aka it’s how terra was able to move from terra Xehanort body to his Xehanort shadow other noticed that problem of passesion never happened with ansem BENGO!!!! Notice ansem never had personality trouble because he’s just XEHANORT HEART Not to mention the clothes and young Xehanort in DDD about ansem and dark riku speech about ansem being Xehanort again HIS HEEEEART completely Puts your whole stupidity terra is ansem Crap to rest In the words of terra - Xehanort ENOUGH already.
@@obligatedorb5202 Just haven't paid attention to the internet in that regard. Guess I should count myself lucky. By the way, I've been playing these since KH: 2. I'm not exactly new.
@shadonic565 he did terrible things what are y’all on about? nobodies are dicks especially Saix, Sora was right about them. Xemnas literally used all of his people in his organization for power & he literally kidnapped Kairi and got her killed. And now he all of sudden feels bad about it and his companions? How about him just not doing all of that to begin with!? In kh2 his attitude was the embodiment of “no fucks given”. I felt no sympathy from him he deserved this, it angered me that they tried to make him & Ansem look like good guys, when originally they weren’t. ESPECIALLY Xehanort
@@ShadowDarkHeart90I honestly don’t give a damn kairi got killed. Sora too. Young Xehanort was right about him. He was given warnings so many time and he still made the same mistake. Don’t know why fans are sad about what happened to Sora I would just call it “told you already but you still make that same mistake”.
It's interesting seeing all these versions of the same character. But Xemnas I felt revealed his true self. Loniness and sadness. Aside from his former keyblade friend, who else did he have? No one. His younger self had anger. Ansem had pride. Xemnas was just tired of it all in the end.
The biggest surprise this game gave to me was encouraging empathy for two of the most unapologetically shitty characters. Seeing Ansem accept his end and defeat in such a humble and honourable way touched me. He admitted he was prideful and stubborn. That he never could've overcome Riku no matter how much of the power of Darkness he tapped into. He did the unthinkable and conceded the light in Riku was always more powerful. I like his last line to Sora as well. Think back to Kingdom Hearts when he tells Sora he travelled so far yet could understand nothing. And with his dying breath encourages Sora to broaden his horizons. Because there's always more knowledge and understanding to find, no matter how confident you feel you know everything. Then with Xemnas. Just like Ansem, he doesn't scream or shout, and curse Sora for overcoming him. He recognises just as what he said to Sora in Dream Drop Distance that all Nobodies eventually grow a new heart to replace what the Darkness stole from them. And admits the pain he's experiencing. Watching his remorse and regret encouraged me for once, to feel for him. He has treated so many so awfully. Tormented himself by rejecting a heart because he remembered how much he hated feeling. Yet to see him express loneliness, and how the last thing he'll feel was the first authentic emotion he's experienced since losing his heart, broke mine. I thought he was awful yet to finally admit he cared about the fraternity he fostered with the original Organisation. How he sees he took those in a way he loved, for granted was so touching. These two were amazing villains. And despite being splintered parodies of humanity had more humanity than their original persona. Young Xehanort is a POS though. Fuck him.
ansem:the one who started this mess being defeated and given a real explanation for trying to win at any cost xemnas:can i eat this conclusion? it makes him seem more like a fool than the mastermind villain the other games presented us. xehanort:"you suck,i wont even say bye".why cant he be as chill as his old self when he looses? thats my thoughts on them xD
@@lpfan4491 Xemnas also talked about the "right" of the nothing face to the light and dark in KH2. Seeing what opening KH was actually gonna do, return everything to an unfeeling balance, it falls in line with his motivations, assuming he always knew everything.
well,he was always the dude whos motivation was the conflict with ansem the wise and creating his own world to rule.when just looking at kh days and 2,that conversation was just him trying to justify his bs so the keybladewielders dont stand in his way.actually,xehanorts plans did not really synergise with xemnas motivations at all if we assume the whole "i did never feel anything" wasnt there.he values ventus and aqua as friends from the time he was terras body still and xehanort almost killed them in the operation. young xehanort technicly declared his org a failure in kh3d,even tho half the new members are old members and the old org technicly followed a diffrent end goal.he is not the leader anymore despite him wanting to lead his own world.a purge would most likely get him too if he won against sora,so rip. so yeah,i think this xemnas kinda goes against the identity of a kh villain he had before.ansem however makesmperfect sence in every regard to me.what a weird thing
@@lpfan4491 I'm not a Kingdom hearts fan, but maybe since Xemnas and Ansem are both Xenahort, they're old Xenahort, thus more mature Maybe young Xenahort is just being a fussy kid who knows
Ansem: What? It is time to move on, boy. There is more to seek. So go forth and seek it. Ansem acknowledges the ending of the saga that started with him, and sees us off as we enter the next realm of the story of Kingdom Hearts.
Xemnas revealing his loneliness was pretty impactful when you consider that one scene where he was talking to Aqua's armor. Or when Roxas came back to the Organization unconscious that one time and Xemnas was watching him sleep. Makes ya wonder if it's the Terra part of him that misses his old friends.
Speaking of her armour, do you think he could’ve been talking to Aqua this whole time before KH2? Or at least in a one-way conversation. Maybe it was Xemnas having some familiarity with the armour
actually, by returning to his time and forgetting everything, he will be doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over, thus doomed to getting roasted by Woody again and again. yes people. he's stuck in an endless time loop.
If u watch the japanese version, this is Xemnas's last sentence : "I see. Human sure is strong." I search and compare it because the english seems too confusing talking about strenght. But choosing that over regular words what made Xemnas so charismatic and Kingdom Hearts is an enjoyable game to watch for.
Demico Cornist,jr. Young Xehanort isn’t technically the final boss though, unless (like the previous person said) Armored Ventus Nightmare is excluded.
Young Xehnoart: I don't care if you defeat me, I still think your Journey is over! Ansem (Heartless): You may have beaten me several times, but I must say your strength is impressive. Xemnas: All I ever felt was loneliness and now I have nothing left..... Its so sad that we will never see these characters again.
Young Xehnoart we will most likely never seen again. Good residence. Now Ansem and Xemnas, I expect them to pop up every now and then with it be in flash backs or conversation. Those two literally shaped most the cast from Sora, Riku, Roxas, Axel, Xion, and on a lesser level Aqua and Terra. Xehnorart may have been the original but he did little to Tue heros personally, Xemnas and Ansem on the other hand? I think one of them is in every KH game, I'm not sure about BBS? Where ether of them in it?
For Xemnas it was actually shown in KH2 that he has some part of humanity (during the Final Boss between First and Second form, he says he forget how it feel to have a heart, and judging by how he talk I think he was sincere in this scene back in KH2, and the scene here basically follow up that moment when Xemnas realise that he never stop to have a heart).
@@potatolord8444 There was an extra fight where a boss named No Heart is wearing the same armor Xemnas wore in his final battle in space if that counts
Xemnas has been my favorite video game villain for over a decade. Seeing him fade, after realizing how wrong he was, I teared up. And Ansem, my most hated villain, because hes the one boss that took me MONTHS to beat, to recognize Riku's Strength, it felt like he was recognizing MY strength, like a final nod to the fact that I was able to beat him.. And telling Sora that theres more to seek, it felt like he was saying goodbye to me. This game is truly a masterpiece, and a perfect way to end the series that defined my childhood.
Ikr.. Ansem's goodbye felt personal to me too. I connect the most to Riku so I felt like he was talking to me. Funny, how Riku felt exactly how I was feeling. It's like Ansem was talking to all of us original fans.. Saying just because this is the end of one saga doesn't mean they're's not more to seek. A perfect end to my childhood villain. And my favorite
He's back because Xemnas was destroyed: Ansem and Xemnas were Xehanorts heartless and nobody respectively, so destroying them recreated the original Xehanort. However, while Ansem was just Xehanort's heartless (while Terra's heartless was the guardian), Xemnas was both Xehanort's and Terra's nobody: thus, destroying both of them recreated Terra's body, but as an empty vessel Xehanort could use as one of his thirteen seekers (basically a Replica), and the original Terra still present as the guardian. The only thing not explained is how is Ansem not able to use the guardian in the final battle, since his and Terranort's guardian are different incarnations: either Terra being free destroyed the guardian altogether regardless of who's using it in the present, or Ansem didn't want to risk his guardian rebelling as well.
Ansem's end was without doubt the best of these three, not trying to knock on Xemnas' end but Ansem's was a fitting end for the first villain of Kingdom Hearts.
Ansem: “I admit I'd screw you over, and for that I'm sorry." Xemnas: “I finally now know and feel what it's like to be screwed over." Young Xehanort: “You screwed yourself over, Sora! Kick rocks and kill yourse-"
Xemnas: do you see? A heart is just pain... Sora: pain is part of being human, xemnas. Xemnas: Really? It muat take... Incredible strength. ( that made me feel bad for giving him these hands)
Ansem Seeker of Darkness is basically a relative to Riku and Sora at this point, and it was really sad to see him speak for himself and give them encouragement.
All 3 are faced with defeat, Young Xehanort is unhappy with it, Xemnas is saddened by it and knows of his consequences, and Ansem humbly accepts it and admits how sora and riku were always stronger.
@@TheXIVPlayer It feels kind of right in a way. Ansem was the first major villain in Kingdom Hearts before we knew about all the machinations. He was beaten by Sora when the boy was still learning the ins and outs of being a keyblade user. It lends a lot of weight to him saying what a journey we've had seeing as he was there in the 'beginning', and also him knowing he was doomed. It's almost saddening.
@ShiNy ArMor Um...duh? They're stronger. You just restated the point as if it wasn't the point. They were chosen to be keyblade wielders because of their strong lighr, and ultimately they were always destined to beat Xehanort and his other selves
(wayfinder trio arrived during the battle) Ven: Guys! Come on! Hurry! Sora need us! Aqua: Yeah, the fight should have been start, I can feel it! Terra: This feeling, it was so intense, hang in there Sora! (YX theme part start playing) Ven, Aqua, Terra: nope. nope. nope. nope. nope. nope. nope. (roll/spin/dash their way away)
went in with the ultima weapon. then after the first fight with repliku I had to switch to other keyblades. only felt right to use kingdom key for this battle and the final one
OK, but just imagine how much cooler it would've been if they hadn't fridged Kairi. Imagine if this fight had her in Mickey's place - the Destiny Island trio fighting *together*, properly, for the first time, against the villains who'd been tearing them apart the whole series?
He thinks victory is assured, and hes the one who still has years ahead of him. Hes young and arrogant, and while the others fade away he's just going back to his time. He won't remember any of whats happened, but in his last moments in this time he thinks Master Xehanort's plan will succeed. Ansem and Xemnas know they lose in the past, and they know their fate. They're ultimately doomed to fail, and know it.
Doesn't feel it makes sense... But I can respect that Ansem and Xemnas took their second defeat much better, and not in the "all goes according to plan" sense.
@@brunolinares604 Xemnas defeats in KH Final mix and DDD don't count. In the first, he was only testing Sora, and in the latter, he was only forced to retreat, and seeing that his intention was to exhaust Sora, which worked, he didn't lose. Thus, two losses. 'Ansem'... yeah, 'Ansem' got his butt kicked four times, I'll give you that.
It makes all the sense in the world actually. Their roles were fulfilled, and Riku and Sora were very connected to those two. They acknowledged them as equals. They have been with them through there journey. I feel it was very fitting and bitter sweet
@@Wingedspace22It basically went full circle. Started out as hate, beaten by 2 boys.. A fluke. Then they kept losing and losing to those foolish boys. But with time, during their last moments it turned into respect and some form of catharsis.
10:26 I know EXACTLY how you feel Riku. I went into KH3 with the sole purpose of finishing what I started 13 years ago, defeating Ansem. After KH1 and finding out he was back in COM and KH2 and so on, my sights were always locked on that one goal for 13 years. But during the game I stopped and realized this will be the last time we all face Ansem. It started with him. Alot of our Kingdom Hearts journeys started with Ansem. As much as I hated the guy and am glad he won't haunt my favorite character Riku anymore, I'm actually going to miss him. My first childhood villain. And my favorite.. RIP Ansem. I had a'lot of fun fighting you. That was the best 13 years of my life...
Same here! I started playing Kingdom Hearts when I was 7 on my ps2 and honestly can say I’ll miss Ansem too because like you, he was my first and favourite childhood villain and to see him go out with a “there is more to seek so go and seek it” kinda hurt in a way He may have been a pain but he was our favourite pain and I’m sure a lot of us miss him too
I think she knows better than anyone that Sora and Kairi will always find a way back to each other. She WAS made from Soras memories of her after all, so she understands how strong their connection is.
@@Speeddemon105 Oh she may very well be, it's just the reason why she was brought in that I don't like. Just to add more depth and drama to Roxas' story, that's pretty much it
Speeddemon105 To me, that moment between Sora and Xion shows how much she’s grown as a character, letting him know that in spite of what happened just now, she knows that Sora and Kairi will always find a way back to each other.
Just so you know how powerful Master Xehanort is, Ultima is currently the most powerful spell in the Final Fantasy universe that bypasses Reflect or any other shielding spell. And Master Xehanort stopped it with a Time spell.
Stopza it's a reference to DDD, Mickey used it to stop the organisation and earn time to save Sora (even if MX was transcending Time), he just remembered that attack and gave Mickey what he deserved lol
Xehanort has been stated to be the most powerful Keyblade Wielder of them all. But the Master of Masters, The Foretellers and Luxu are likely going to be more powerful.
The phrase xemnas said..... "I feel...the emptiness where my companions once stood. I took them for granted. And now, I have...nothing. My first surge of emotion in years...for as long as I can remember...and it's...loneliness. Do you see? A heart is just pain." It's really deep in feelings 😔
For a series revolving around the central conflict of Good vs Evil, KH 3 really goes out of its way to show that it's not exactly that simple: "Evil Riku" wasn't actually a monster, he was just someone struggling to find a place in a world that didn't need him. Vanitas wasn't an evil creation, trapped in a life chosen for him. He was offered a life, and _he chose_ to accept it, carving out his own path in a bad situation (instead of holding onto the grudge of what was done to him like Ventus did). Saix was always in it for the right reasons, he just lost sight of that due to emotional turmoil. Ansem was in the game for power, but even he has redeeming qualities: he can respect his foes for their victories, and with his final breath wish them well. Xemnas feels the pain of loss. Not of his goals, or his desires...but of his friends. His final moments, contemplating the cost of his actions.
@@treyslider6954 Yeah. To be honest, in the whole KH series, there's no characters that can be characterized as definite good or evil aside from a few of them (Sora, Kairi, Disney Castle trio, Ventus, etc. But even they have some grey moments).
It was really interesting seeing Xemnas and Ansem's impactful final thoughts. Really makes you think about how things might have gone differently of they weren't under the thumb of Xehanort
I love how Ansem and Xemnas both send you off with admiration. They may have been enemies but they were with us the whole ride in their respective games.
10:06 This scene cements Ansem as my favorite Kingdom Hearts villain...more than Xemnas...more than even Xehanort himself. Not only does he face death like a boss, he finally acknowledges Riku's strength and encourages Sora to move on to bigger and better things.
Sure, let's completely ignore the fact that if not for her, Sora and everyone else would literally be dead. She's the only reason Sora was able to retain enough of himself to save the others.
@@Kenjitsu419 And that's a two-way power. It's by definition Kairi's feat as well as Sora's. And this is literally the THIRD time that bond has saved Sora's bacon, yet people STILL won't stop with the "blargh, she be useless because reasons".
I'll admit, I thought it was pretty sweet (or bittersweet) how Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort all departed with some shred of dignity, and even with some partial encouragement for the first two.
@@ezekielbaskerville2710 Xehanort's youthful self is still typical in the sense that he was very overconfident about his planning, and very haughty and condescending on those who he uses, who he faces against. He went out with hopes that Sora's journey would end in his present self overwhelming Sora. Something that was to be put to the test effective immediately after the battle. At least Ansem and Xenmas went out much better despite constantly being a foil to the protagonists.
Young Xehanort was more like: Well. My plan will work anyway. I'm going back to my time now. Ansem and Xemnas vaguely called Sora strong and told him to keep moving forward in a way of acceptance.
@@ezekielbaskerville2710Why should YX encourage Sora? What he said about Sora did happen. Sora is dead (or went to quadratum) and he already said Sora will have to pay the ultimate price. I kind of wonder why fans hated him for that. He didn’t lie. Antagonising Sora is what they all do because Sora is the enemy after all.
@@eliasacevedo5711 I'll give you that. Epcar isn't bad by any means, it's just that his version of Ansem doesn't have the same... what's the word I'm looking for, weight? Hamminess maybe? My point is that while Epcar's performance as Ansem is good, Zane's performance as Ansem was f!&$ing amazing.
Now imagine, young xehanort with the same difficult as DDD and a few attacks from bbs Ansem , with the HP bar and his insanes attacks while he uses that double edged sword he used in KH1 And Xemnas with the same difficult as his data fight in kh2.5 that's how this battle should have been
Is it me or is Ansem's dying words an allegory of Kingdom Hearts 1 starting off this entire saga? Ex: "What a time you and I have had." "There is more to seek."
I know they are villians, but the ending of Ansem and Xemnas was pretty rough. They really grew as characters who developed their own sense of individualism. I can't help but think that both Ansem and Xemnas remembered their original goal as Xehanort, but their perspective altered when they developed their own selves. It makes me think what might of happened if they were freed of their past incarnation. The thing that got me was that after all this time we learned that Xemnas was lonely and starving for some kind of connection. Ansem's acceptance was pretty awesome and him encouraging Sora and Riku to press onward was gratifying. I don't know maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.
I don't know how they did it but they actively made me Cry when both Xemnas and Ansem died. Young Xehanort makes sense that he wouldn't have regret because he is not that old coot yet. But what Xemnas said Atchley was true to character because I do believe apart of Terra is in him that he would feel what its like to have a friend and Ansem what he says would make sense too because he was the first one they battled the first of many so I do respect how he admits that Sora and Riku have gotten a lot stronger since they met also it didn't help that Xehanort killed Kairi just after this it was horrible but that's in another part of the game so I do have to say RIP to both Ansem and Xemnas as well as there badass voices.
I made a point of defeating Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas in that order, because I wanted to have one last dance with Xemnas mano y mano. I'm just sad he won't be around for the inevitable Star Wars crossover to be mistaken for the secret Sith Lord he always has been.
Xemnas was always my favorite of the 'Norts, followed only by Ansem. The others always just annoyed the shot out of me. OG Nort honestly is just contrdictary.
Reactions: ~Ansem and Riku both admit that they respect each other. He accepts that he was wrong, and accepts defeat gracefully. As for Sora, keep on going, you crazy light-wielder, you. ~Xemnas actually feels a thing?!? They finally acknowledge that he technically has a heart too, and you can literally hear the emotion in his voice. I'm sad it took this much to get through to him, but I hope he rests well. ~And, finally, Hot Topic!Xehanort can go step on a Lego.
Can't believe once again Kairi was the only character to be completely useless ... Does Nomura not like her character or what ? He hyped her at the end of DDD and she did absolutely nothing in this game except being a plot device ... we didn't even see her fight '-'
Kairi fights as a party member alongside Axel in the Saix/Xion boss fight. Though sadly, it's only for a few minutes until Xion and Roxas take her place. I do think they need to fix Kairi's character within the next game, as she only existed within this plot to push on the next game unfortunately
@@kuubrra7261 no i obviousely didn't expect her to take on Xehanort ... I expected her to be usefull and not be a victim character like always .. which she was in this game once again ... The only purpose of Kairi in this game is literally dying. She did nothing else she didn't even help bringing back Namine they did it without her '-' She's just useless the game would be the same if she wasn't in it...
@@kuubrra7261 Well to be fair a 15 year old boy is taking down monster 5 times his size with a giant key, expecting a little help from Kairi is reasonable
Then Xehanort accidentally fell and stabbed Kairi, this made Sora and Riku mad, so Xehanort grabbed the X-Blade and tried to slice them some bread to calm them down, but fell and corrupted Kingdom Hearts with Darkness.
The fact that Nomura has confirmed that Xemnas just decides not to wield a keyblade, speaks volumes on how overpowered his character is. Hell, even stopping Axel's Keyblade with one hand and mocking it just shows how his unseen mastery of the keyblade. In all the games, we've been battling a Xemnas that is holding back. Possibly with the ability to dual weild since he is is the nobody of two keyblade weilders, yet he thinks he is too good to even bother wielding a Keyblade...let that sink in.
Tbf, it's extremely plausible that Xemnas is the strongest Xehanort, and even the strongest character in all the setting in KH2 finale. He is so OP that he's the only final boss to require two Keyblade Wielders to be defeated. No other boss in any of the games until now required that much.
What most people don’t get about Ansem and Xemnas is that they aren’t they aren’t exactly the heartless/nobody of master xehanort. Not even Terra-Xehanort can claim them. They belong Xehanort Apprentice of Ansem the Wise. It’s a shame we’ve never really gotten to know Apprentice Xehanort. It would really help us to understand why Ansem and Xemnas are so willing to follow Master Xehanort when their last words almost leads me to believe they may have wanted to go another route. Also it was never explained why Apprentice Xehanort wanted to change his name to Ansem.
17:24 This moment took my breath away. Sora's adventure began 17 years ago when he met Donald and Goofy in Traverse Town, and now, he will end his adventure with them. They could have done a final fight with all the Guardians of Light helping Sora to defeat Xehanort, but Nomura did this for how the saga started, and that's how the saga should end. I felt like crying when I saw Donald and Goofy follow Sora to help him in his final battle.
The way this video takes down 3 members of what I considered, the best boss fight of the entire game, it's so canon. Taking out Young Xehanort first is what we all did, since he is the weakest of the three. But what I did is leave Ansem for last, since the series began with him. If I were to change this fight, it'd be having Kairi actually participate during the fight with Sora and Riku, while Mickey would just duke out with Master Xehanort. But better yet, have each trio battle against each of the Nort Trio. Obviously have the Destiny Trio battle Ansem, but save that for last. Start off with the BBS Trio dealing with Young Xehanort's shenanigans, and perfectly have the Sea Salt Trio get their absolute revenge on Xemnas for ruining their lives. I still think the most touching death scene has to go to Ansem. He's not just talking to Sora and Riku, but it feels like he was talking to us, the players. He's been around with us since the very beginning
Is it considered irony that Xemnas said that he had nothing and yet his Nobody element was indeed the power of Nothing? Or would that be considered something else?
The only reason why Xehanort in Terra's body was so different was because he lost his memories. Terra has nothing to do with that - which the others seem to imply. Terra-Xehanort had Xehanort's consciousness nonetheless. But not having an idea what life you lived before influences you.
I feel kinda bad for Ansem and Xemnas...yeah they almost committed mass genocide on a scale that would make Zamasu blush but still...Ansem was our first bad guy so his death had some impact and Xemnas was just tragic. I'll say that Ansem is probably the most (no pun intended) heartwarming, he said he was proud of Riku and Sora for being stronger than darkness where he was consumed by it.
Hey Nomura. For DLC, make this fight again but have it as Final Xemnas, Mysterious Figure Young Xehanort, and World of Chaos Ansem. And even better, give them a combo move where they use all of their ultimate attacks at once.
I was NOT expecting to fight 3 main bosses at the same time! Seriously! Fighting the final bosses of 1 and 2 at the same time is deadly enough as it is and yet they decided to throw in Young Xehanort too, the hardest secret boss I have EVER fought in this game. What a battle
I absolutely loved this game, but the ending was actually heartbreaking for me. I mean, I get it, they want to keep the audience interested and invested and want to build hype for future games, but I hate how Kairi got kidnapped and sent away yet again. My opinion, cannot stress that enough, but I would have loved it even more if Kairi wasn't sent away and the ending had more of a happily ever after aspect. That way the audience who just wanted to see the end of the Xehanort Saga could indeed end it there and be satisfied with the story. And if, like me, they do want to see what happened next in the KH universe, then great, there'll be more games to play.

VenomLeon Yeah that’s pretty fucking accurate 😂😂
It’s pretty touching how Ansem was actually somewhat proud of Riku in his final moments.
It's funny how an embodiment of darkness and a corporate mascot can be a father figure to some troubled youth.
Maybe all this time Ansem was fascinated by him. Riku rejected being all darkness and was powerful because of that. Since he was born Ansem thought the only true way to strength was darkness. He is half Xehanort half Terra, after all. Those two thought the same way. Plus he’s all heartless. And as a scientist, he can’t help but want to understand something he can’t comprehend.

Kinda late but it’s great closure for the both of them it shows Riku has far out grown the darkness in him and while Ansem will always be apart of him. It’s no longer a chain that holds him down. And I think it’s touching for old enemies to gracefully exit with respect for each other.

Xemnas, dying
Sora: How does that make you feel eh?
Xemnas: kinda lonely actually
Sora: ... this doesn't feel as good as i thought it would
*distant slow clapping*
@shadonic565 he did terrible things what are y’all on about? nobodies are dicks especially Saix, Sora was right about them. Xemnas literally used all of his people in his organization for power & he literally kidnapped Kairi and got her killed. And now he all of sudden feels bad about it and his companions? How about him just not doing all of that to begin with!? In kh2 his attitude was the embodiment of “no fucks given”. I felt no sympathy from him he deserved this, it angered me that they tried to make him & Ansem look like good guys, when originally they weren’t. ESPECIALLY Xehanort
I felt bad for both xemnas and ansem...
@@ShadowDarkHeart90I honestly don’t give a damn kairi got killed. Sora too. Young Xehanort was right about him. He was given warnings so many time and he still made the same mistake. Don’t know why fans are sad about what happened to Sora I would just call it “told you already but you still make that same mistake”.
@@alimichalkan8046 and this is why Roxas is my favorite. Hes more cautious and wary of situations sometimes.
Can we just talk about how good all three of their themes sound together?
same with the xion + sora + roxas themes. That was my favorite of the combos
Yeah it was amazing.
Crome I can distinctly hear Xemnas’ and YX’s themes, but can’t for the life of me pinpoint where Ansem’s is. Could someone give me a time stamp?
@@brianv9242 The first part of the song is Ansem's theme, Forze del Male. You can hear it at 2:07
Listening to the music while fighting the trio had my mind thinking back on the fights against them before. They really mixed their themes well
It's interesting seeing all these versions of the same character. But Xemnas I felt revealed his true self. Loniness and sadness. Aside from his former keyblade friend, who else did he have? No one. His younger self had anger. Ansem had pride. Xemnas was just tired of it all in the end.
Who was his keyblade friend? Aquas keyblade armor?
Alabama Man ah
And all those versions makes up xehanort
The biggest surprise this game gave to me was encouraging empathy for two of the most unapologetically shitty characters. Seeing Ansem accept his end and defeat in such a humble and honourable way touched me.
He admitted he was prideful and stubborn. That he never could've overcome Riku no matter how much of the power of Darkness he tapped into. He did the unthinkable and conceded the light in Riku was always more powerful.
I like his last line to Sora as well. Think back to Kingdom Hearts when he tells Sora he travelled so far yet could understand nothing. And with his dying breath encourages Sora to broaden his horizons. Because there's always more knowledge and understanding to find, no matter how confident you feel you know everything.
Then with Xemnas. Just like Ansem, he doesn't scream or shout, and curse Sora for overcoming him. He recognises just as what he said to Sora in Dream Drop Distance that all Nobodies eventually grow a new heart to replace what the Darkness stole from them. And admits the pain he's experiencing.
Watching his remorse and regret encouraged me for once, to feel for him. He has treated so many so awfully. Tormented himself by rejecting a heart because he remembered how much he hated feeling.
Yet to see him express loneliness, and how the last thing he'll feel was the first authentic emotion he's experienced since losing his heart, broke mine.
I thought he was awful yet to finally admit he cared about the fraternity he fostered with the original Organisation. How he sees he took those in a way he loved, for granted was so touching.
These two were amazing villains. And despite being splintered parodies of humanity had more humanity than their original persona.
Young Xehanort is a POS though. Fuck him.
ansem:the one who started this mess being defeated and given a real explanation for trying to win at any cost
xemnas:can i eat this conclusion? it makes him seem more like a fool than the mastermind villain the other games presented us.
xehanort:"you suck,i wont even say bye".why cant he be as chill as his old self when he looses?
thats my thoughts on them xD
@@lpfan4491 Xemnas also talked about the "right" of the nothing face to the light and dark in KH2. Seeing what opening KH was actually gonna do, return everything to an unfeeling balance, it falls in line with his motivations, assuming he always knew everything.
well,he was always the dude whos motivation was the conflict with ansem the wise and creating his own world to rule.when just looking at kh days and 2,that conversation was just him trying to justify his bs so the keybladewielders dont stand in his way.actually,xehanorts plans did not really synergise with xemnas motivations at all if we assume the whole "i did never feel anything" wasnt there.he values ventus and aqua as friends from the time he was terras body still and xehanort almost killed them in the operation.
young xehanort technicly declared his org a failure in kh3d,even tho half the new members are old members and the old org technicly followed a diffrent end goal.he is not the leader anymore despite him wanting to lead his own world.a purge would most likely get him too if he won against sora,so rip.
so yeah,i think this xemnas kinda goes against the identity of a kh villain he had before.ansem however makesmperfect sence in every regard to me.what a weird thing
@@lpfan4491 I'm not a Kingdom hearts fan, but maybe since Xemnas and Ansem are both Xenahort, they're old Xenahort, thus more mature
Maybe young Xenahort is just being a fussy kid who knows
@@joshgroban5291 xD
Xemnas' voice is so deep, my TV subwoofer is kicking in and making my floor shake a bit
ryutheslayer123 I had my volume all the way down and could still feel him rumbling round in there LMFAOOO
Masaomi Kida y
For some reason i thought i was gonna read "Xemnas' voice is so deep, my TV subwoofer started moaning every time he spoke"
Hes like the video game Scottie Pippen.
Did he try lifting them like the buildings
Ansem: What? It is time to move on, boy. There is more to seek. So go forth and seek it.
Ansem acknowledges the ending of the saga that started with him, and sees us off as we enter the next realm of the story of Kingdom Hearts.
Ansem will always be my favorite villain in kingdom hearts.
Xemnas revealing his loneliness was pretty impactful when you consider that one scene where he was talking to Aqua's armor.
Or when Roxas came back to the Organization unconscious that one time and Xemnas was watching him sleep. Makes ya wonder if it's the Terra part of him that misses his old friends.
Xemnas should have just been Terra. Throwing Terra Xehanort back into the mix as a separate entity to Master Xehanort was just bullshit.
To bad he never really acted like he cared about other people before.
Might be right considering roxas is identic to ven
Speaking of her armour, do you think he could’ve been talking to Aqua this whole time before KH2? Or at least in a one-way conversation.
Maybe it was Xemnas having some familiarity with the armour
Roman Draco I wish there were some interactions between Xemnas and the way finder trio
Don't get the wrong idea. Young Xehanort's just happy that he won't remember getting roasted by a cowboy doll.
That was a burn even Curaga can't heal
actually, by returning to his time and forgetting everything, he will be doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over, thus doomed to getting roasted by Woody again and again.
yes people. he's stuck in an endless time loop.
@@HaxHaunter did he knew this would happen?
So there is a timeline where xehanort has been gone for many years?
Even a panacea couldnt heal his burn lmao
@@cathl4953 who knows time travel gets confusing
What Xemnas said is actually incredibly sad. Damn.
It actually made me think of Ansem the Wise and Terra, it really showed how much sadness and regret that's been carried through the series.
not as sad as what ansem said rip ansem
If u watch the japanese version, this is Xemnas's last sentence : "I see. Human sure is strong."
I search and compare it because the english seems too confusing talking about strenght. But choosing that over regular words what made Xemnas so charismatic and Kingdom Hearts is an enjoyable game to watch for.
@Genesis Rhapsodos geez. Even Xehanort's heart and body were suffering from his obsession. I think the only one who wasnt affected was YX
kinda nice to be sociopath and don't feel pointless stuff
The final boss of KHI,
The final boss of KHII,
And the bad little boy who got dissed by Woody
the bad little boy who kicked my ass for hours in birth by sleep xD
Cosmic Cynic technically if you don’t count Armored Ventus Nightmare, YX is the final boss of DDD
*sigh* someone else who hasn't played DDD
Demico Cornist,jr. Young Xehanort isn’t technically the final boss though, unless (like the previous person said) Armored Ventus Nightmare is excluded.
well that bad little boy pissed me off. cause when finally i finished him after many retry, he come back with timestop and made me retry again.
Young Xehnoart: I don't care if you defeat me, I still think your Journey is over!
Ansem (Heartless): You may have beaten me several times, but I must say your strength is impressive.
Xemnas: All I ever felt was loneliness and now I have nothing left.....
Its so sad that we will never see these characters again.
Young Xehnoart we will most likely never seen again. Good residence.
Now Ansem and Xemnas, I expect them to pop up every now and then with it be in flash backs or conversation. Those two literally shaped most the cast from Sora, Riku, Roxas, Axel, Xion, and on a lesser level Aqua and Terra. Xehnorart may have been the original but he did little to Tue heros personally, Xemnas and Ansem on the other hand? I think one of them is in every KH game, I'm not sure about BBS? Where ether of them in it?
For Xemnas it was actually shown in KH2 that he has some part of humanity (during the Final Boss between First and Second form, he says he forget how it feel to have a heart, and judging by how he talk I think he was sincere in this scene back in KH2, and the scene here basically follow up that moment when Xemnas realise that he never stop to have a heart).

@@Barbeta13 He does say "Come forward" at the start but nothing happens.
Yeah, but his symbiote had restored his heart, so Ansem’s guardian ceased to exist. In a way, kinda sad for him I’d imagine.
Yeah but it still sounds better when the original voice actor says it.
Xemnas has been my favorite video game villain for over a decade. Seeing him fade, after realizing how wrong he was, I teared up. And Ansem, my most hated villain, because hes the one boss that took me MONTHS to beat, to recognize Riku's Strength, it felt like he was recognizing MY strength, like a final nod to the fact that I was able to beat him.. And telling Sora that theres more to seek, it felt like he was saying goodbye to me. This game is truly a masterpiece, and a perfect way to end the series that defined my childhood.
Ikr.. Ansem's goodbye felt personal to me too. I connect the most to Riku so I felt like he was talking to me. Funny, how Riku felt exactly how I was feeling. It's like Ansem was talking to all of us original fans.. Saying just because this is the end of one saga doesn't mean they're's not more to seek. A perfect end to my childhood villain. And my favorite
@@Nite-Rise For sure. "What a journey you and I have had" was directed at the player just as much as at Riku.
Seeing Xemnas go away was so sad. There goes one of the best video game bosses ever.
The best
He's back because Xemnas was destroyed: Ansem and Xemnas were Xehanorts heartless and nobody respectively, so destroying them recreated the original Xehanort. However, while Ansem was just Xehanort's heartless (while Terra's heartless was the guardian), Xemnas was both Xehanort's and Terra's nobody: thus, destroying both of them recreated Terra's body, but as an empty vessel Xehanort could use as one of his thirteen seekers (basically a Replica), and the original Terra still present as the guardian.
The only thing not explained is how is Ansem not able to use the guardian in the final battle, since his and Terranort's guardian are different incarnations: either Terra being free destroyed the guardian altogether regardless of who's using it in the present, or Ansem didn't want to risk his guardian rebelling as well.

Sora: pain is part of being human, xemnas.

@@montecristosmith2343 That's awful considering what ansem did to riku and everyone else.

All 3 are faced with defeat, Young Xehanort is unhappy with it, Xemnas is saddened by it and knows of his consequences, and Ansem humbly accepts it and admits how sora and riku were always stronger.
it felt like the stages of grief in a way Young Xehanort represents denial, anger, bargaining while Xemnas is depression and Ansem is acceptance
@@TheXIVPlayer It feels kind of right in a way. Ansem was the first major villain in Kingdom Hearts before we knew about all the machinations. He was beaten by Sora when the boy was still learning the ins and outs of being a keyblade user. It lends a lot of weight to him saying what a journey we've had seeing as he was there in the 'beginning', and also him knowing he was doomed. It's almost saddening.

went in with the ultima weapon. then after the first fight with repliku I had to switch to other keyblades. only felt right to use kingdom key for this battle and the final one

He won't remember any of whats happened, but in his last moments in this time he thinks Master Xehanort's plan will succeed. Ansem and Xemnas know they lose in the past, and they know their fate. They're ultimately doomed to fail, and know it.

'Ansem'... yeah, 'Ansem' got his butt kicked four times, I'll give you that.
It makes all the sense in the world actually. Their roles were fulfilled, and Riku and Sora were very connected to those two. They acknowledged them as equals. They have been with them through there journey. I feel it was very fitting and bitter sweet
@@Wingedspace22It basically went full circle. Started out as hate, beaten by 2 boys.. A fluke. Then they kept losing and losing to those foolish boys. But with time, during their last moments it turned into respect and some form of catharsis.

10:26 I know EXACTLY how you feel Riku. I went into KH3 with the sole purpose of finishing what I started 13 years ago, defeating Ansem. After KH1 and finding out he was back in COM and KH2 and so on, my sights were always locked on that one goal for 13 years. But during the game I stopped and realized this will be the last time we all face Ansem. It started with him. Alot of our Kingdom Hearts journeys started with Ansem. As much as I hated the guy and am glad he won't haunt my favorite character Riku anymore, I'm actually going to miss him. My first childhood villain. And my favorite..
RIP Ansem. I had a'lot of fun fighting you. That was the best 13 years of my life...
Night Rise I agree, it was sad when I defeated Ansem and later Xemnas, their final words were very touching.
When Ansem acknowledges that riku’s strength is stronger than his DARKNESS was wholesome to me. Xemnas too.
it is time to move on boy... there is more to seek.... so go out and seek it :'(
The greatest 16 years for me.
Same here! I started playing Kingdom Hearts when I was 7 on my ps2 and honestly can say I’ll miss Ansem too because like you, he was my first and favourite childhood villain and to see him go out with a “there is more to seek so go and seek it” kinda hurt in a way
He may have been a pain but he was our favourite pain and I’m sure a lot of us miss him too

Just so you know how powerful Master Xehanort is, Ultima is currently the most powerful spell in the Final Fantasy universe that bypasses Reflect or any other shielding spell. And Master Xehanort stopped it with a Time spell.
Stopza it's a reference to DDD, Mickey used it to stop the organisation and earn time to save Sora (even if MX was transcending Time), he just remembered that attack and gave Mickey what he deserved lol
Fucking Donald goes way past that
Wait Ultima is a spell itself i thought they were both saying Ultima Stopza lol ok thx mate

The most "Kingdom Hearts" think I could have ever imagined.
The phrase xemnas said.....
"I feel...the emptiness where my companions once stood. I took them for granted. And now, I have...nothing. My first surge of emotion in years...for as long as I can remember...and it's...loneliness. Do you see? A heart is just pain."
It's really deep in feelings 😔
Theres just something haunting about Xemnas and Ansem evaluating their life choices.
For a series revolving around the central conflict of Good vs Evil, KH 3 really goes out of its way to show that it's not exactly that simple:
"Evil Riku" wasn't actually a monster, he was just someone struggling to find a place in a world that didn't need him.
Vanitas wasn't an evil creation, trapped in a life chosen for him. He was offered a life, and _he chose_ to accept it, carving out his own path in a bad situation (instead of holding onto the grudge of what was done to him like Ventus did).
Saix was always in it for the right reasons, he just lost sight of that due to emotional turmoil.
Ansem was in the game for power, but even he has redeeming qualities: he can respect his foes for their victories, and with his final breath wish them well.
Xemnas feels the pain of loss. Not of his goals, or his desires...but of his friends. His final moments, contemplating the cost of his actions.
@@treyslider6954 Yeah. To be honest, in the whole KH series, there's no characters that can be characterized as definite good or evil aside from a few of them (Sora, Kairi, Disney Castle trio, Ventus, etc. But even they have some grey moments).
It was really interesting seeing Xemnas and Ansem's impactful final thoughts. Really makes you think about how things might have gone differently of they weren't under the thumb of Xehanort
Ansem SOD and Xemnas suffered from Xehanort's lust for knowledge. I feel like here they showed more Terra than Xehanort

@@ezekielbaskerville2710 Xehanort's youthful self is still typical in the sense that he was very overconfident about his planning, and very haughty and condescending on those who he uses, who he faces against.

At least Ansem and Xenmas went out much better despite constantly being a foil to the protagonists.
Young Xehanort was more like: Well. My plan will work anyway. I'm going back to my time now.
Ansem and Xemnas vaguely called Sora strong and told him to keep moving forward in a way of acceptance.
@@ezekielbaskerville2710Why should YX encourage Sora? What he said about Sora did happen. Sora is dead (or went to quadratum) and he already said Sora will have to pay the ultimate price. I kind of wonder why fans hated him for that. He didn’t lie. Antagonising Sora is what they all do because Sora is the enemy after all.
I don't know why but Ansem's final words really got to me and resonated with me, gave me chills dude
Does anyone else miss Billy Zane voicing Ansem?
Yeah, but Richard Epcar did a pretty damn good work with Terranort and Ansem (After KH2)
Yea he had a voice with authority suited dark ansem too well.
@@eliasacevedo5711 I'll give you that. Epcar isn't bad by any means, it's just that his version of Ansem doesn't have the same... what's the word I'm looking for, weight? Hamminess maybe?
My point is that while Epcar's performance as Ansem is good, Zane's performance as Ansem was f!&$ing amazing.
About as much as I miss Leonard Nimoy and Christopher Lee.
Nope.
Now imagine,
young xehanort with the same difficult as DDD and a few attacks from bbs
Ansem , with the HP bar and his insanes attacks while he uses that double edged sword he used in KH1
And Xemnas with the same difficult as his data fight in kh2.5
that's how this battle should have been
Change mickey with Roxas, then I will agree
He was only hard because of the damage you received in ddd. He was easy but hit way to hard. It wasn't fun.
Still a badass boss fight
Critical mode
How would people survive critical mode?
Is it me or is Ansem's dying words an allegory of Kingdom Hearts 1 starting off this entire saga?
Ex:
"What a time you and I have had."
"There is more to seek."
I know they are villians, but the ending of Ansem and Xemnas was pretty rough. They really grew as characters who developed their own sense of individualism. I can't help but think that both Ansem and Xemnas remembered their original goal as Xehanort, but their perspective altered when they developed their own selves. It makes me think what might of happened if they were freed of their past incarnation. The thing that got me was that after all this time we learned that Xemnas was lonely and starving for some kind of connection. Ansem's acceptance was pretty awesome and him encouraging Sora and Riku to press onward was gratifying. I don't know maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.
I don't know how they did it but they actively made me Cry when both Xemnas and Ansem died. Young Xehanort makes sense that he wouldn't have regret because he is not that old coot yet. But what Xemnas said Atchley was true to character because I do believe apart of Terra is in him that he would feel what its like to have a friend and Ansem what he says would make sense too because he was the first one they battled the first of many so I do respect how he admits that Sora and Riku have gotten a lot stronger since they met also it didn't help that Xehanort killed Kairi just after this it was horrible but that's in another part of the game so I do have to say RIP to both Ansem and Xemnas as well as there badass voices.
I appreciate the order you beat them in. The one you had the most recent time dealing with, to the first one you ever fought.
The canon order is the opposite, though (Ansem, Xemnas, Young Xehanort). You can see it in the theater. It does make more sense that way.
Final words
Ansem: there's more for you to venture off too
Xemnas: maybe emotions aren't so bad.
Young Xehanort: You still ain't shit boi. Peace out
I made a point of defeating Young Xehanort, Ansem, and Xemnas in that order, because I wanted to have one last dance with Xemnas mano y mano.
I'm just sad he won't be around for the inevitable Star Wars crossover to be mistaken for the secret Sith Lord he always has been.
Xemnas was always my favorite of the 'Norts, followed only by Ansem. The others always just annoyed the shot out of me. OG Nort honestly is just contrdictary.
Yeah, I was never fond of Xehanort Prime.
Reactions:
~Ansem and Riku both admit that they respect each other. He accepts that he was wrong, and accepts defeat gracefully.
As for Sora, keep on going, you crazy light-wielder, you.
~Xemnas actually feels a thing?!? They finally acknowledge that he technically has a heart too, and you can literally hear the emotion in his voice.
I'm sad it took this much to get through to him, but I hope he rests well.
~And, finally,
Hot Topic!Xehanort can go step on a Lego.
Best villain voice: Xemnas 😢
Ansem's death scene is still in my opinion, the best and most heartbreaking farewell in the whole series. I never expected such a punch in my heart.
Can't believe once again Kairi was the only character to be completely useless ... Does Nomura not like her character or what ? He hyped her at the end of DDD and she did absolutely nothing in this game except being a plot device ... we didn't even see her fight '-'
Kairi fights as a party member alongside Axel in the Saix/Xion boss fight. Though sadly, it's only for a few minutes until Xion and Roxas take her place. I do think they need to fix Kairi's character within the next game, as she only existed within this plot to push on the next game unfortunately
Unless you want more DLC about the Training Days..
she literally had like a tiny bit of training and you expect her to take on xehanort or his little croniesm
@@kuubrra7261 no i obviousely didn't expect her to take on Xehanort ... I expected her to be usefull and not be a victim character like always .. which she was in this game once again ... The only purpose of Kairi in this game is literally dying. She did nothing else she didn't even help bringing back Namine they did it without her '-'
She's just useless the game would be the same if she wasn't in it...
@@kuubrra7261 Well to be fair a 15 year old boy is taking down monster 5 times his size with a giant key, expecting a little help from Kairi is reasonable
Then Xehanort accidentally fell and stabbed Kairi, this made Sora and Riku mad, so Xehanort grabbed the X-Blade and tried to slice them some bread to calm them down, but fell and corrupted Kingdom Hearts with Darkness.
Oopsie Daisie ...
0:25 In Riku's mind: AGAIN!?!?
The fact that Nomura has confirmed that Xemnas just decides not to wield a keyblade, speaks volumes on how overpowered his character is. Hell, even stopping Axel's Keyblade with one hand and mocking it just shows how his unseen mastery of the keyblade. In all the games, we've been battling a Xemnas that is holding back. Possibly with the ability to dual weild since he is is the nobody of two keyblade weilders, yet he thinks he is too good to even bother wielding a Keyblade...let that sink in.
Tbf, it's extremely plausible that Xemnas is the strongest Xehanort, and even the strongest character in all the setting in KH2 finale. He is so OP that he's the only final boss to require two Keyblade Wielders to be defeated. No other boss in any of the games until now required that much.
About to finish the last-
"More you say?"
STAHP!
"Goodbye, *Ansem*. Goodbye, *Xemnas*. Miss you, I will."
Those combo attacks were DOPE. I'm really happy with KH3 overall, completed it a few weeks ago.
What most people don’t get about Ansem and Xemnas is that they aren’t they aren’t exactly the heartless/nobody of master xehanort. Not even Terra-Xehanort can claim them. They belong Xehanort Apprentice of Ansem the Wise. It’s a shame we’ve never really gotten to know Apprentice Xehanort. It would really help us to understand why Ansem and Xemnas are so willing to follow Master Xehanort when their last words almost leads me to believe they may have wanted to go another route. Also it was never explained why Apprentice Xehanort wanted to change his name to Ansem.
TruthSeeker terranort is Apprentice Xehanort
BigElephant they share the same body obviously but they have different eyes hair and most importantly a different mind.
They have the same mind, the eyes were a retconn, and the hair just had to due with age.
17:24
This moment took my breath away. Sora's adventure began 17 years ago when he met Donald and Goofy in Traverse Town, and now, he will end his adventure with them. They could have done a final fight with all the Guardians of Light helping Sora to defeat Xehanort, but Nomura did this for how the saga started, and that's how the saga should end. I felt like crying when I saw Donald and Goofy follow Sora to help him in his final battle.
well this is the end of the xehanort saga not THE end of kh
I’ve been looking for this comment! No one acknowledges it but it might be the best scene in the entire series
I guess you can say that the members of Organization XIII had a change in heart? I'll go to realm of darkness now
Random Trainer X. I never saw it coming
@@xdrayy7378 hmmm persona 5 everyone
Diouf Maulana yeah
I like how every version of Xehanort is just a badass.
Like Batman, well kind of lol almost every version XD.
He came out of the womb making villainous speeches.
kinda disappointed that xemnas didnt use zebra coat here since ansem got his classic outfit
Yeah, but then again, wasn't it because of the power he gained during the final boss fight?
RangaRiis i guess also what happened to lingering will? he hasnt been seen since that scene against terranort
@@manfromhamaslume Could have just jumped into Terranort's heartless thing for all I know. lol
RangaRiis so many plotholes smh
If we are fair then that means Ansem would need to be coatless as he was half-naked on the World of Chaos.
The way this video takes down 3 members of what I considered, the best boss fight of the entire game, it's so canon. Taking out Young Xehanort first is what we all did, since he is the weakest of the three. But what I did is leave Ansem for last, since the series began with him.
If I were to change this fight, it'd be having Kairi actually participate during the fight with Sora and Riku, while Mickey would just duke out with Master Xehanort. But better yet, have each trio battle against each of the Nort Trio. Obviously have the Destiny Trio battle Ansem, but save that for last. Start off with the BBS Trio dealing with Young Xehanort's shenanigans, and perfectly have the Sea Salt Trio get their absolute revenge on Xemnas for ruining their lives.
I still think the most touching death scene has to go to Ansem. He's not just talking to Sora and Riku, but it feels like he was talking to us, the players. He's been around with us since the very beginning
And here we see Player's Heartless, Player's Nobody, and Player's younger self fucking up Sora.
Is it considered irony that Xemnas said that he had nothing and yet his Nobody element was indeed the power of Nothing? Or would that be considered something else?
Well, he said that himself, he has nothing, so he used that nothing as his power, he fight using nothing, a feat that nobody can do ...
It feels like... Ansem SOD and Xemnas are they own being, they feel different than Xehanort
MixSona Productions
They're both half Terra.
They'd splintered off from him and had their own experiences.
Well, They are the heartless e nobody of Terranort, not Xehanort. There Is a difference
Xemnas is Terranort Nobody. Ansem is part Xehanort, Terra, and Riku. which is why looks noticeably different.
The only reason why Xehanort in Terra's body was so different was because he lost his memories. Terra has nothing to do with that - which the others seem to imply. Terra-Xehanort had Xehanort's consciousness nonetheless. But not having an idea what life you lived before influences you.
It felt like a strange graduation for Sora and Riku after defeating them. It was dark but beautiful
"If you survive that long"
Shit gives me chills
I like how what Ansem say to Sora is kind of a follow up to what he says to him in KH1.
I feel kinda bad for Ansem and Xemnas...yeah they almost committed mass genocide on a scale that would make Zamasu blush but still...Ansem was our first bad guy so his death had some impact and Xemnas was just tragic. I'll say that Ansem is probably the most (no pun intended) heartwarming, he said he was proud of Riku and Sora for being stronger than darkness where he was consumed by it.
Interesting that you mention Zamasu seeing as we're finally told that Old Xehanort had similar motivations in the end.
Hey Nomura. For DLC, make this fight again but have it as Final Xemnas, Mysterious Figure Young Xehanort, and World of Chaos Ansem. And even better, give them a combo move where they use all of their ultimate attacks at once.
"Perhaps. That is...if you survive that long!" When Xehanort said that, I got hyped as fuck and ready to fight! lol
.
I was NOT expecting to fight 3 main bosses at the same time! Seriously! Fighting the final bosses of 1 and 2 at the same time is deadly enough as it is and yet they decided to throw in Young Xehanort too, the hardest secret boss I have EVER fought in this game. What a battle
I wish they added xemnas and young xehanorts sick lightsaber combos
No thanks, I'm enough with that.
I believe Xemnas still has several, but just not as much.
Xenomorph god ,Kai then nobody would survive the battle
They're called Ethereal Blades, Shaggy.
@@platinumvoid1648 Peasant
Xemnas is the best villian KH ever had change my mind.
Everytime I hear xemnas speak I feel like I'm watching a movie trailer
Xemnas was really the best villain of the series in my opinion. His voice actor is just so perfect for him also
I absolutely loved this game, but the ending was actually heartbreaking for me. I mean, I get it, they want to keep the audience interested and invested and want to build hype for future games, but I hate how Kairi got kidnapped and sent away yet again.
My opinion, cannot stress that enough, but I would have loved it even more if Kairi wasn't sent away and the ending had more of a happily ever after aspect. That way the audience who just wanted to see the end of the Xehanort Saga could indeed end it there and be satisfied with the story. And if, like me, they do want to see what happened next in the KH universe, then great, there'll be more games to play.
I left Xemnas for last as he is my favorite, and his death made me tear up a bit.
