Shout out to Union Cross bros who recognized Strelitzia right away.
Yeah I noticed hey that’s strelitzia from union cross was actually surprised she showed up honestly been a while since we saw her since union cross
True KH fans are the ones who remembered Strelitzia 🤣
And me is like " is she living with modern ppl rn?"
I freaked out just seeing her outfit and hair before I even saw her face lol. I’d been hoping we’d get to see more of her!
I absolutely freaked out when I saw Strelitzia cuz ummm…I thought we all thought she had passed after being basically murdered by Ventus/darkness…I think we can all agree that mobile games are the new lore at the point
*high fives* I knew sticking around union cross till the very end was worth it lol
Its really cool that you and HMK are catching people up to speed. I know its a pretty tall task to ask people to watch cutscenes for a mobile game
I have a friend that i'm def gonna show this to. I've taken him through every single KH game, but struggled with how to share important lore bits from Ux, seeing as how it isn't possible to play the game anymore and the explanation videos get rather long. Thanks Jared!
Man we all live the same life
You can still look at cutscenes in the game so you can do that.
Cringe.
All the cutscenes from Ux are still available to watch, it's inside Dark Road
@@pedrosobral4335 Yee and I considered just showing him the cutscenes like what we did with 358/2 Days and Re:Coded, but I just don't think he has the attention span to watch HOURS of unvoiced cutscenes with no gameplay to break them up. Appreciate the reminder though, thank you. c:
This CONTENT man. Thank you so much for all your coverage and everything. I finally found a youtuber and person as passionate about the series as I have been. Glad I found you 5 years or so ago!
Yeah I agree he’s been on a roll with the great content lately 🤗
The series really is my all and everything 😅 just can’t get enough! Thank you so much for the kind words and supporting the channel for the past 5 years, means a damn lot! 💚
@@TheGamersJoint Heartwarming for all of us who have been watching for years
@@TheGamersJoint I’d say I’ve been with this channel since about 2018. The dry seasons were really scary at one point. No one had any idea what was going on! I hope you never have to do that again.
That's exactly what it is!!!! And exactly what i have been saying for about 3 years in some comments around the Cynical's videos, like... He can't even imagine how much i appreciate him...
I’m pretty sure Nomura will make all these “new” characters easy to digest considering Sora himself doesn’t know the majority of them. People who skipped out on the mobile games are pretty much just as out of the loop as Sora is.
Good thing you can watch them on UA-cam. I spent like 2 hours catching up to that story.
Has he ever made anything easy to digest though?
@@MyDumbdumbdumb Birth By Sleep was fairly simple... relatively speaking lol
True haha!
Lmao i forgot sora got left out....Clueless on what is happening XD
Theory: Strelitzia didn't truly die.
Her heart and body perished but the MoM or Luxu intercepted her, either before she vanished forever or from The Final World (it's entirely feasible that she ended up in The Final World since Lauriam clearly wouldn't let her go), and put the white coat on her to keep her from truly dying.
I think the white coat blocks out light, just as the black coat blocks out darkness. When people die, they return to the primordial light of Kingdom Hearts--unless they're wearing a white coat, a shield keeping the light from taking them.
After giving her the white coat, the MoM or Luxu took her to Quadratum, a place where there's no light to claim her. As long as she's in Unreality, and as long as she wears the white coat while anywhere in Reality, she can't die. She exists as a being neither living nor dead.
This is a great theory ngl
Another part to that might be that her data was used has her new body
Quadratum may be the afterworld for people from the world of fantasy, just like Alice, a real girl, passed out and ended up in the Wonderland. The real goes to fantasy, the fantasy to real. At least to me.
This is kinda sad, because that means she won't be able to escape Quadratum or she will die for good. (Unless she still has the white coat, which she will have to wear at all times.)
Of course she didn't die, just like everyone else in KH. You don't need a theory for that
I just want to see Lauriam and Strelitzia together again, that scene will make me cry a river for sure :')
Jared I must say it warms my heart seeing all these posts. I remember starting late middle school and throughout high school watching a video from you daily and the hype of kingdom hearts being unbelievable, it felt like we were all part of something. Well now that reminiscent feeling is back and the hype couldn’t be any more real. I’m so excited for the future, and I’m so glad that we’re back!!
Kinda funny when you think about how according to the list, Ven isn't meant to be one but technically due to the Master of Masters orchestrating things, Ven technically is meant to be one. Think of him as the Luxu of the Union Leaders in that sense. Luxu being one of MoM's apprentices but not have his own copy of the book, while Ven isn't in the list of Union Leaders but MoM was setting things up for Ven to be one
Maybe that's why Luxu as Braig/Xigbar has this thing with Ven by the time Xehanort came around
Dude! everyone should see what you wrote, that’s a brilliant way to explain it.
The sad part about Strelitzia is that she will never meet the player because he died twice, in the end of union cross and later as xehanort in the end of kingdom hearts 3
Can you explain
Knowing how relevant Dark Road will become, it probably won't be the last time we'll see Xehanort. Itll be more likely that we'll see Xehanort as Young Xehanort
@@Emotionlessxartist
Spoiler to union cross
The player is Xehanort. Union cross ending said that if a keyblade wielded die, they will become dream eater or reborn again. Then it shows a white haired baby, then into young xehanort
I think it’s still a theory, but widely accepted o.o
Can't believe Strelitzia has the hots for Xehanort
I guess times travel wasnt enough for nomura necromancy is next
KH Fans: OMG STRELITZIA!!! SO COOL!
KH Casuals: Who?
Xion: I felt that.
Yep so grateful I played union x
@@stevenarevalo3132 me to
@@pyra7478 yep
@@stevenarevalo3132 I didn't even watch the Union X cutscenes and still knew who she was.
Kingdom Hearts is my favorite game series of all time. That being said, it’s hard for my dumb brain to retain all of the information that goes on in this convoluted story. Your videos at least fill in some of the missing pieces and for that I am thankful. Keep doin you. ✌️
Ya know, I've been trying to go as long as I could without having to learn about Union Cross, unless it was really damn important. Now it seems like it's getting more important than ever before. So it's time for me to learn about all of it, and hopefully try to understand it. Leave it to Nomura to put important story information behind a mobile game.
All spin off games are all important. And always will be . They all connect .
@@Daryl90 kh 4 is not a spin off its a sequel so dont know what you talking about by saying here comes another
Always loved Cynicals videos covering various KH lore and story and content. Thanks for this video. Although I have played Union X, I forgot a bit what happend regarding a few characters including Strelitzia. This came in helpful!😊
Yeah same I used to play that game so I forgotten a lot of the story so this video helps
Jared finally saying Strelitzia’s name right 😆😆😆😆
😏😏😏
Even been nailing the pronunciation of Laurium
@@edgeofultima7483 you mean Lauriam?
@@ok_listen yes, don't know how I managed to misspell that. Marluxia doesn't have two u's
Damn, can't stop my tears flowing every time I see Strelitzia, her story is really a tragic one, so it can only get better from then, looking forward for more of her story
My theory is that Strelitzia's heart somehow made it's way to Lauriam's, unwilling to leave her brother behind, and was sort of sleeping inside him until Xehanort removed his heart the second time to make him one of the "13 Darknesses". He unknowingly removed Strelitzia's heart too, and she ended up recompleting using her stolen data in Quadratum.
Cynical, dude, you’re killing it with all this content. I’m genuinely looking forward to the next couple of years of hype and speculation for KH4 on your channel!
I’m amazed we got a trailer. But even more amazed strelitzia as in it!!! I didn’t think they’d make a reveal that big right off the bat. So imagine what else they’re gonna put in this game!!
Considering we are entering a new arc of some sorts, i wonder how many questions is this game to going to create and how many are going to get answered...
If history is to repeat itself:
1. A lot
2. Few
I was thinking that possibly the white robe Luxu put into the pod and called "The True Dandelion", might be Strelitzia's medium to travel into the future? Perhaps Marluxia getting his memories back at the end of KH3 could be the memories Strelitzia needed to time travel.
Only problem is that Marluxia wasn't in Quadratum, so I'm thinking alternatively it was Luxu's memories. There were 2 cloaked figures in the KH4 trailer and if one of them is Luxu, this would make sense.
I agree
Well in quadratum maybe we will see luxord or demyx since both of them real body are still unknown..... Demyx is abit SUS to me he looks more like MoM i mean the manerism
After Strelitzia's sad and short time in khux it makes me so happy to see her again and in beautiful hd. I can't wait to see her and Sora interact more ☺️
When "Time" and "Space" gets involved, you'll know things will get messy and confusing since anything or even everything can happen 😅
Which only means more convoluted plots for Square to sell :D
@@Prinny_421 😅😅😅
@@yuuchan97 glad this saga ended no more convoluted mess
The Master Of Masters might want something to do with her because of what’s written in the missing page of the Book of Prophecy. Gula mentions that the missing page refers to someone “bearing the sigil”.
In 3D, we’re told that the sigil refers to the X on Sora’s clothes, and is known as the Recusant’s Sigil. Knowing that, the first assumption might be that the page was referring to Sora using the Power of Awakening to rewrite time.
However, if you look at Strelitizia’s hair, the tie she has in the front forms an X, so the page could be referring to her and the role she has to play deeper into the series.
@TheGamersJoint I was surprised but at the same time not surprised that some people didn't know who Strelitza was lol but also didn't know her name meant freedom and immortality so thanks for that makes sense but I knew all the other stuff just came to support much love dude!
I am so pumped to see what they're gonna do with Strelitzia, Laurium & Elrena.
From 2013 to now the channel finally starting to get the attention it deserves ever since kh4 got announced
Bruh just realized this morning that Sora's mom never properly trained him never to talk to strangers...
“Also keep in mind this is the data version of Daybreak Town” 😂😂😂😂😂 as if I wasn’t lost enough🤣🤣🤣
Anyways thank you for the video!
Started watching these back when kingdom hearts 3 was announced. Now we are full circle baybeeeeee
Here’s to another many years!
Heeey a fellow OG! c:
I kind of want Sora to try protecting Strelitzia from Laruriam thinking the organization could still be using him but then realizing Strelitzia is Laruriams sister
I can actually see that as a cutscene in the game.
I too had to explain to my friends after they saw me so surprised to see Strelitzia lol. One of my friends is a super Ventus fan so she was almost brought to tears to imagine him doing anything like that. Then she realized "Wait...VANITAS ACTUALLY KILLED HER!...Oh, so technically she's actually looking into the "face" of her murderer when you think about it..." I was mind-blown when she literally put all of that together like that xD.
Anyways, after seeing this video though...and remembering the fact that Larium really does have a motive to be a part of the later story. Especially with the organization, Ansem and Terranort in his apprentice days were looking for a way to return hearts from data. I could easily see Larium accepting help from Ansem and Terranort for the sake of his sister's return. It's probably something that's kept him on Xenahort's side all this time. Also considering that Luxu gathered with the foretellers...I'm wondering if that secondary coat with MoM was Larium (or Demyx I have a weird feeling about him lol).
@@KS-qq7mr Luxord come from somewhere not from the main world....probably quadratum....demyx how ever..... He is the most Sus of them all......... We just get tht hint tht he is important....idk his manerism looks like MoM to me
@@rexarc2477 To me I think it would be cheap to make him the MoM’s Nobody. I mean there’s already a separate voice actor for the MoM and also it would make the usage of the No Name keyblade as a tool to watch the future be redundant. I was of the party that thought he and Elrena are related based on them sharing the same eye color (and speaking of which the color of the eye on the MoM’s keyblade is different from Demyx’s eyes which are this aqua/teal color which is the same color as Larxene/Elrena’s eyes while the eye on the keyblade is a brilliant blue) and their interaction with one another which to me felt like an older sister who has to babysit her (in her eyes) annoying younger brother. So when he didn’t so up nor did he get mentioned in connection with Elrena that caused me so much confusion. Personally I think he’s a separate character.
@@mirandagoldstine8548 fair point.... Then he is from quadratum also same as luxord.... Couldnt think anything for him since so little info given for his character not even in the mobile game.....
@@rexarc2477 Possibly. I wish we knew more about him.
HMK also has done a video on this, but cynical, you did it so much more in detail, and you are much more pleasing to listen to for some reason. I really like how you explain the cutscenes, and what happened, so we are up to date about what happened instead of telling us minor details about her.
My guy you keep pumping out videos I'll keep watching
Same here
I really liked the lore of Ux so I’m glad someone is talking about it for the upcoming installment!
Strelitzia: That's him! He's my murderer
Roxas: ???
It feels so surreal having so much Kingdom Hearts content in my notifications. It's such a happy time, and I'm looking forward to riding the train with you and everyone else all the way to release!
This also begs the question of, if Strelitzia is in Quadratum, are other ancient Keyblade Wielders also there (or somewhere in that universe)? These are the kinds of questions I asked about characters like Xion and Roxas, and the games eventually answered them, even when self-proclaimed KH 'experts' were telling me that it would never happen. So you'd better start thinking about this.
I think that all this information is very interesting and I’m glad we are getting to see more of Strelitzia in Kingdom hearts 4.
You actually did a very amazing job of breaking down and explaining all about Sterliztia! I myself am excited to see more within the Missing Link game, and I really want to know what or where is Laurium is at!?
I’ve been the most dedicated kingdom hearts fans since the first game in 2002. My whole body is covered in kingdom hearts tattooes. I have played every game except for union cross. I had to watch all the cutscenes that were going on in cross but when the trailer came out, S had not impact on me. Thanks so much for making the vid J! Been an avid fan since you started the channel!
Yesss the kingdom hearts guru is back it again and thank you for this video. This is one of the few games I hadn’t played yet
I like that she has an XI in her hair, a nod to her brother. Since the nameless star might be Skuld and Luxord does Uber, I wonder who else knows how to get to that universe. Can’t wait for the next installment
I am hoping we get to see Laurium in KH4 (and Elrena). I am betting right now that if Laurium and Strelitzia were to meet in KH4, Laurium is going to get very emotional.
I think it will be in kh5 lol
Oh yes it would be so emotional for Lauriam to see his little sister again.
The amount of kh videos we’re getting is insane. I missed this tbh
You explaining KH lore (with its time travel shenanigans) almost effortlessly while I have to pull out a quantum physics textbook every time I have to explain the fucking *MULTIVERSE* in Honkai Impact.
Jared, I would greatly appreciate it if you did a full series on the mobile games. I tried it out back when it first released and it just lost me, but now that it’s becoming more important, we definitely need to know the lore on it.
I know for posterity it's best to say Master of Masters or Luxu regarding who took Strelitzia but given we see Luxu with the True Dandelion, I'm at least 90% sure it was Luxu. Remember he's only said to have disappeared in terms of the understanding of his friends; the other Foretellers and thus the Unions they lead. His Role was specifically to just watch and stay hidden, except... He broke that a few times. With Ava, then being seen by Elrena's Chirithy, presenting himself to Brain at the end. Now, regarding being surprised at her return via Quadratum? I'm guessing I'm the only one who wasn't when I heard the spoiler tweet moments after the presentation in Japan. Probably because as the True Dandelion, taking the Ark...She had to go somewhere. However, where I branch off a bit, is I feel like she didn't go straight to Quadratum. I think she ended up in Radiant Garden for a time...in other words, she is Subject X. Look at her new hairpin, look at how we know the Ark works. Lastly, remember Apprentice Xehanort's words to a young Kairi. Who better to try out the Ark with than an 'Unknown stranger', eh? In Quadratum is where I think she regained her memories and self.
The problem with the mobile games is if you don't play them (understandable) you have to research through a 2nd party which kills the emotional investment.
Man thanks for the video! I love hearing you talk about Union X lore, you should definitely make more of these in the future!
Here we go again.
I found your channel way back when kh3/2.8 trailers were dropping and now I can't believe I'm actually watching in preperation for kh4
Thanks Jared, This helps so much as this was one of the things I was a bit confused about involving Strelitzia, I know who she was and the connection with Marli lol but it was the white robe she appeared in where I was like Huh?!. Thanks Bro keep the content coming. Hope to meet and chat keyblades one day lol
Theres no describing how hype it was to see strelitzia and know that Ux has major implications. Like obviously nomura doesnt make characters randomly but still to see how big he really wants kh to be is amazing. It excites and scares me at how long KH as a whole might go on. I might be dead before we get the resolution to darkness 😅😂
the road to KH4 is going to be so good!!
People please check out Union X. Its one the absolute best KH stories. It's amazing especially the last third. The app is still available with all the cutscenes. And theres tons of videos online explaining everything.... cough cough Damo
Can we access the cutscenes as our character even on missions we haven't completed yet?
@@xestalfer2143 You can fully recustomize your character from scratch with all customes available
@@Kicksticks Neat, I should've done that than watch them on youtube
@@xestalfer2143 at least theres a cool customizsable archive thats always there!!
I discovered your channel as soon as I first got into the kingdom hearts series
I just thought of something
5 union leaders
5 dandelions
2 black coats (MoM and Luxu)
1 Player character
That's XIII !
Potential Darknesses
I wish Square would release a cutscenes remake of Union X, just like they did with 365/2 days and re: coded
Begining to wonder if skuld is in quadratum too, she is suposedly the girl lea and Isa met in ansems castle, and she misteriousy dissapeared, then Ansem seemed to have a clearer idea of the concept of unreality, as so far there was no evidence that unreality existed but he did have theories about it existing, finally when xehanort "saved" kairi he mentioned the posibility of ending in unreality, which means both Ansem and Xehanort, as Xehanort must have learned the concept from someone, both knew of unreality, most likely it could be due to Skulds or whomever the girl that was there misterious dissapeareance, most likelly skuld since all time travelers seems to have lost their memories, so asumming that both Ansem and Xehanorth learned about unreality from the girls dissapearance, and the girl was Skuld, there would be a huge posibility of Skuld being in Quadratum, or other unreality worlds, which makes me wonder what type of worlds we would see in unreality, I'm not fully convinced we would see disney worlds in unreality, and I doubt Quadratum would be the only unreality world
Hoping Lauriam has tons of screen time due to this!
Really liked the job you have made and I agree with all you theories except one.
Imo MoM's didn't used Strelitzia to allow him travelling in time. He also need a medium for that which is clearly stated to be his eye on his keyblade. Strelitzia couldn't have got the keyblade with her as it is Brain or data Brain having it with the box in the desert.
Imo It is Luxu's task to survive using vessel all along, finally bringing medium ans memories of MoM in Quadratum to complete him.
Strelitzia is probably serving another part of the plan for him as the 'true dandelion' and "seed of light' as explained in the mobile game before being sent to the future.
Bro all this content is bringing me back to pre kh3 times. I love it! Keep it up you! You make me so much more hyped for the game
I would like to know how the data of a person can bring said person back to life? Data is merely a copy of the person, not the soul and feelings of the person.
Imagine if Lauriam and the others brought back the data and Lauriam thought it was his sister but it isn't. It's only a mirrored image.
If Strelitzia did come back from the dead in the age of fairy tales somehow, she would definitely be upset that her brother and all her friends replaced her for a copy not knowing any better. She would go to Lauriam and the others saying, "Who is that person that looks and acts like me? I'm your real sister... why didn't you know that...?"
The data can be used to replace the body as long as they have a way to recover the heart. That is how they created the replica using the data of the people they wish to bring back.
@@buccham6354 True. And it can also serve as a medium for time travelling. (i.e. MoM's eye in his keyblade)
Something interesting: we saw her "walking" (soul/heart) with someone in the street. While being "unconscious" (data empty shell) being sent to the future from someone via the travel pad.
My point is, I think Strelitzia were completed in Quadratum and not before.
This is why Lauriam ended up nowhere (in some flower) uncomplete and amnesiac as his sister were in a différent reality and couldn't have helped him with memories of him.
@@nashteuh7274 the question is was she supposed to go to quadratum or was it mistake xenohart told kairi that it was possible to end up their using that device the body was sent to.
So happy for the regular uploads! Thanks Turkey Lord!
Imagine Strelitzia actually being a playable character Kingdom Hearts 4.
Didn't Marluxia also say something like: "Oh, yeah. That's right. I remember." after you beat him in KHIII?
He did. So he might remember his sister. Which means…he might still have a slight grudge against Ventus.
Welp looks like I'm gonna be reliving my kingdom hearts journey once more.
So excited for 4
You, Damo, and bio man, you all kill it with the KH stuff, I hope to have my channel become a decent one for KH stuff too, as your guys content have always kept me hyped about this series 🤘
I can’t believe you used that vine sound effect when she literally DIED
Good news on kh switch
They fixed it
I bought it the other day I’ve been playing kh1 blind aside from an occasional minor cutscene lag the gameplay and game has been really smooth and great
I’ve been having fun with it I hope people give it another look
Loving the consistent content man, keep it up!
Neat analysis video! Thanks for uploading!
This was a great recap. I’ve never had the time to play through the mobile games, so this is super clutch!
Glad you made this video because I did not know this character or that Marluxia was connected to her.
Strelizia and her story up till now gives me Namine vibes. I don't know why but it does like strelizia was brought back to life like Namine did in kh3 with a vessel puppet which is why we saw the master put her in a put to be remembered and get her body back in a way in quadratum.
Its great that you can pronounce Strelitzia right now; now do it for the other x characters!
Mark my words sterlistia we saw in kh4 is the data version of her
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the white robe being put into the pod and sent off to the future. While it isn’t confirmed to be her I mean come on, who else could it be!
Everyone should share the art of Strelitzia from Union X.
Good description. I am aiming to play the KH series in chronological order.. and sadly knowing union x is no longer playable this is a good summary well done!
Let us all take a moment to really appreciate how great the story of Union Cross was, for a mobile game.
You should do a kingdom hearts lore series to help people understand the story better
I saw this thumbnail and begged that he wouldn't say strelisa, god that felt great xD
So many interactions we need to see with her. Ventus, Lauriam, heck even xehanort. Stuff gonna be rough to go through.
Thank you I needed this deeper breakdown of Strelitzia.
My favorite Kingdom Hearts related channel, and one of my favorite youtubers of all time in general. Thanks for this Cynical!
i have few questions
-how she was able to afford that expensive apartement ?
-is starleziza originally from quadratum world?
-how did she know that sora is a keyblade weilder?
do you think Mom is from
quadtratum ?
Also, I love that my favorite organization member (Marluxia/Lauriam) has an important role. Was sad when we killed him back in the day.
Maybe Srelitzia in the white coat was TIME TRAVEL her from KHIV after she and Sora escape Quadratum.
Did this man just say Marluxer?
"Whoops Sorry About That! it was the DARKNESS" Okay i believe you
As I recall, MoM (or maybe Luxu I don't know it can get confusing with the coats sometimes) sent someone wrapped in white through the ark. I believe he referred to it as the "seed" or something which odds are is Strelitzia. As for how she's alive, MoM's book was created as Luxu lived through the ages and passed down MoM's Keyblade which allowed him to see the future. As he likely recorded up until the events of KH3, knowledge of the Replica program would've been revealed to him. Maybe by taking Strelitzia's data, MoM was able to recreate her heart and form a replica of her.
In a theory I saw and kinda believe. Strelitzia's heart was sent forward in time, and whichever one sent Strelitzia's body in the Ark, sent it forward to relatively close to where we are in current time, but in reality, her heart found its place back in her own body, then she ended up being brought to Quadratum.
There’s a flower shop near my house called Streletzia Flowers. What kind of sick joke 🤣🥲🥲🥲
How about if she meets old man Xehanort. Whose past life she's stalking. It will be interesting to see them interact
Theory: when she died she didn't immediate turn it a heartless, nor could've have been sent to kh since she wasnt killed by keyblade so I think it is possible luxu or MoM caught her heart and put it in her data body but shed need a medium to reform her body. which could be a number of things we don't know
Sorry young lady, but Sora already has a girlfriend named:Kairi.
We're back babyyyyy
1:30 - We don't get an exact number of years, but if it's in line with Square-Enix's pattern on their games, Union X is probably about 2000 years before the events of the first Kingdom Hearts game.
When I saw what Luxu was doing with Strelizia's data in Union X, I had a feeling that she would show up sooner or later.
Oh my god I only just noticed the symbolism in the contrast between her angelic appearance and Marluxias grim reaper aesthetic
And as the tale goes, Reapers care for those that have passed.
