    Thank you so much Josh for Kingdom Hearts month. These countdowns were amazing and brought me so much joy. The ending of KH3 left me depressed and these countdowns brought my joy back. Thank you so much and you deserve a break for making all these amazing videos! 10/10 on all of them!!

      Yes and no. It was bittersweet and sad at the ending. Which made me depressed bc it was sad. But I was also going through some stuff after losing my old principal to cancer when I first saw the ending which was mainly why I was depressed bc he was there for me all the time to make my day better and then just vanished. But I know that he is not in pain anymore and with God in heaven so I’m happy

      @@goldencyclone4984 The heroes aren't as ruthless as he is. There's no need to make him suffer, especially when he was already dying anyway after the final battle. I thought it was pretty pathetic seeing him pour his heart out going on about how he's the only one who can set the world "right". Sora then telling him he doesn't get to decide his own destiny and has to accept that was perfect. You keep claiming he happily passed on, I see it as nothing but the characters pitying him due to how pathetic he is. He was so sure of himself, completely deranged cocky bastard who thought all his back up plans for his back up plans were going to help him win in the end. Yet Sora still beat him.

      Please clarify, cause I genuinely don't at all see how Riku treated him anything other than cruelly. Maybe not as much as DiZ, but cold nonetheless. I guess he did pity him a bit though, but not enough to ever tell him the truth or give him any agency over his fate like he did with Xion. In fact now that I think about it, every single interaction they had over the course of the series was antagonistic up until the end of kh3 (and that's never explained).

    This was nice but the Ansem(Seeker of Darkness), Xemnas, Young Xehenort fight at the end of 3 will always have a spot on my list, atleast number 5. This battle had been a long time coming and the music that accompanies it(which is a mix of all three bosses' themes), is simply bliss. Their attacks compliment each other well, depending on your level if your not careful one combo from them will wipe you out. I even enjoyed their end dialog which basically boiled down to
    Xemnas: I regret my choice and I miss my "friends"
    Ansem: I thought about being good but things started going downhill so screw it

    Here's what things could've been like had it been this way :
    You make it to Notre Dame as there is fire and Heartless everywhere. Sora looks up and sees Frollo do his thing and fall.
    But as he falls, he curses everything and everyone in Paris, swearing that all the wicked ones deserve nothing but *darkness.*
    As he says that, darkness starts covering him and, by the time he reaches the ground, there is no more Frollo, only a DEMON WHO CAME FROM THE DEEPEST PITS OF HELL ITSELF WHO THEN PROCEEDS TO START *BURNING PARIS!!!*

    The key thing to remember about the plot for kingdom hearts and why Sora and Xaonort have so many different variations of themselves is because they are both similar in one aspect. They both have another person‘s heart within them.
    And with all the other different variations of Xaonort they all had their own wants but the end goal was still the same and it didn’t matter if sometimes those plans conflicted with each other and eliminated some members because they just start over again they were technically immortal so what does it matter if they had to restart a few times. And what did it matter how many more lives he would ruin.

Definitely makes his "I merely guided them (BBS trio fate of getting completely screwed)to their proper places" work better because that was his (as stated in 3) goal from the beginning. Controlling everyone, and if they tried to rebel against that, have a faceful of X-blade to learn their proper place (groveling at Xehanorts feet)

    One of my favourite unsung bosses from Kingdom Hearts is Dark Aqua from 3. Sure she's not the most difficult, nor the most epic, but she's one of the few bosses that really displays her emotional state over the fight, kinda like the final fight with Xion. That one attack where a bunch of copies of her wander aimlessly is a perfect representation of how endless travels in the realm of darkness have changed her, to her various spell focused combos you used to play as suddenly being turned against you. It's a fight that really made me feel like I was bringing someone lost back to the light and there's few bosses in Kingdom Hearts that evoke such a feeling.

    Also, while those boss segments were easy to skip, the number transitions were huge blindsiding spoilers. For shame, Josh, for shame.

    Josh, the reason Xehanort's nobody looks like that is because the nobody is the animated body left behind and Xehanort was possessing Terra's body.
    The reason nobodies are considered as nonexistant is because as far as they've aware they have no emotions and will not have an afterlife if they die, as opposed to Heartless which respawn eventually if anything that isn't a Keyblade kills them, and the Keybkade frees them. The fact that their hearts regrow wa skept a secret.
    As for Xehanort's motivations...ehh, I'll go with "The Dark side Will Make You Forget." Kind of like how it screwed with Riku in game 1 even before Xehanort's heartless got involved. And that's not to mention all the Voldemort levels of self experimentation and mutilation he did to his own heart and body probably screwing with memory and the brain in general.

    Xemnas is still in my opinion, the best final boss of the series. Final Xheonort was a bit underwhelming. I also don't like the music. To me, it sounds messy and synthetic and it's becouse it was not composed by Yoko Shimimora. I promise you that if they update the game to a theme that Yoko makes it would be infinitely better.

    When you think about its probably why Roxas is so aggressive as a boss, especially in his data battle.
    I can see a little bit of me in him, the play-style of hit first & win the fight.
    Which makes it more feelsy since his AI is similar to me, to which this was one of those fights where I had to play on the defensive. It was en emotional ride after watching 358/2 days, and I could only feel a small rush of passion after finally putting him down.

    I feel like the replica xehanorts before Final Xehanort could've been an excellent boss if they were fought in a more clearly-defined space and had more blatantly telegraphed attacks as well as a more clearly-defined individuality aside from weaponry.
    Like the Vanitas Replica summons little Floods if you don't interrupt him, the Ansem Replica uses some of No Hearts martial arts move, the Xemnas replica does his sick ballerino moves, that sort of thing.
    Also Xemnas is indeed mostly Terra's nobody; He has vague inclinations towards treasuring memories with Aqua and Ventus as friends (Even if the second one got retconned into just being all-in on Xehanort's shit, I am 100% behind you on how bloated this fucking plot has gotten with obvious retcons and forgotten threads.) and keeps Aqua's armor in a personal study.

    Just a quick top 5 bosses from me:
    5: Marluxia - Re:Chain of Memories: His multiple forms and eerily beautiful themes in Graceful Assassin and Lord of the Castle make him very memorable for me.
    4: Demyx - Yes I did find him a very frustrating boss, but I like how it showcases Demyx's character. He is skilled at fighting, but he doesn't like to "I can be imposing when I wanna be. Which admittedly is... almost never."
    3: Lingering Will - For reasons stated, this is very memorable secret boss that actually tests you. It also begs the question: has Terra's separated will been training alone all those years? Cuz he could not do any of that stuff in BBS
    2: Roxas (KH2): All I gotta say is, I'm glad he can finally catch a break with all his old new friends.
    1: Xemnas (KH2): The ending of KH2 holds a special place in my heart as what I believe to be the best ending the series should have had. Due in no small part to Xemnas. The boss isn't terribly hard, but you still feel the weight behind it, fighting the true mastermind (at the time). Add on Sora fighting alongside his bff Riku, along with the conclusion that follows, and you have a truly amazing ending to a game with so much payoff.

  • @kmpgos4158

    I am a bit surpriced that none of boss fights from so called "pre-quel" to Kingdom Heart 1 (the one with Aqua, Ventus and Terra as main characters) got into the list. Surely Aqua vs Terranort in their final confrontation was both very challenging and satisfying. (Also, I take it that fight to free Aqua is considered a honorable mention, considering it is as cover in between each bossfight).
