if you're wondering how i deal so much damage to Lexaeus at 13:34, its because if you let him buff himself into super sayan 1, he gains hyper armor and cannot be staggered, which means he takes 100% of the damage from Dark Aura's finisher. that alongside the Maleficent Dragon card results in 3 bars of damage
My favorite part of Chain of Memories is how Riku can just "smell" darkness, and it's never brought up outside of this game. My boy can just smell a villains stank and not one person has questioned it.
It actually is, in a way. Xehanort says he feels the darkness inside Terra. But other than that, Riku and Xehanort are the only ones with direct Defacto Darkness detection senses. Which kind of makes sense if Riku has control of the darkness Xehanorts heartless had

I seriously believe Zexion's death was the most unnecessary one. Dude was just trying to make sense of everything that was going on, all Axel had to do was _lie_ to him.
He had to get rid of everyone as orders from Xem butt, also, He was trying to cover his own tracks to make sure Sora would survive, Hence pretending to die 2 times to him in this game.
Axel had two motives inside the castle. The first was as ordered by Xemnas, hunt down and kill the traitors, meaning Marluxia and Larxene. However, his second motive was to help Saix climb the ranks in the Organization, thus anyone above him needed to go, meaning Vexen, Lexeaus, and Zexion.
Fortunately Ienzo gets to redeem himself in KH III, one of the very good things that game did. I really loved Ienzo in III, whereas previously I'd just despised Zexion.
@@ayeedonald629 Aparently, it means going to the kingdom of darkness and getting inside your original a couple years later, only to die again a couple days later carrying your version of another timeline with you

@@spindash64 Dude, he says it proudly like he's very brave. But I'll agree with Vacantsix, in context it is quite dark to be "magically" dissected. Probably without anesthesia
I really like how at 10:45 Riku beats Repliku with only 1 pixel of health. Feels like it shows they really are pretty evenly matched. (Riku’s just a sliver better)
I think, in a broader sense, Riku's Chain of Memory story is an interesting take on the ideas of addiction and guilt over past mistakes. The voice that Ansem often seems to portray is a similar sort of ever present temptation, and putting his story into that perspective made it all the more real. The actual moment to moment dialogue can be a bit offputting sometimes, awkward, and even downright cringey, but the broader plot themes and the way he develops is pretty cool to see. Even down to the way he literally fights against his own evil self. It's not exactly an uncommon trope for stories to follow, but it seems to be one of the deeper plot lines of the Kingdom Hearts series.

Darkest darkest darkness within darkness within darkness within darkness _WITHIN DARKNESS WITHIN DARKNESS WITHIN DARKNESS _*_WITHIN DARKNESS WITHIN DARKNESS WITHIN DAAAARKNEEEEEESSSS!!!!!_*
Superslash Reverse/Rebirth Mode was absolutely rushed and it’s funny because it’s so much less of a slog to play.

The reward for card breaks with riku is utterly overpowered in Re:chain with increased damage & sped up transformation animation with negligible locked movement. EDIT: in the GBA version, Riku could be card broken and hit at a much larger window when max dp is reached and has no invulnerability (along with being locked in an animation until it ended or got card broken before or after said animation) for transformation. That could spell disaster. When his DP runs out, he gets locked into a reverting animation that ceases mobility and leaves him vulnerable for about 20-30 frames before possible movement (even though the 2/3s of said animation has invulnerability). Getting card broken also drains DP before possible movement going into dark mode.
It's because the music is god tier and tricks people into getting emotionally invested. There's also cool imagery and awesome sounding one liners that imply a way better story is being told, but are actually meaningless when you sit down and try to analyze the story. People don't like KH because of the actual garbage story being told, people like KH because of the way it made them feel
Gameplay (especially KH2FM, shit's tight dawg) Music (I honestly considered getting the rhythm game just for that remix of the main screen theme) Characters (they're all heavily flawed but they have their moments) Imagery/Designs (keyblades and magic and shit, nigga, plus the designs of characters and worlds are noice despite how hard we meme on them, also the hundreds of keyblade designs are cool to look at and the fact that the keyblade can change design inspires fanart out the ass like how Sonic inspires OCs) Disney (everyone has at least 1 Disney franchise they like and chances are it appears in or is at least referenced by a KH game) Final Fantasy (same point as the Disney one, if you like FF on any level you're bound to get at least 1 bone thrown your way) Also the fact that most people get into KH when they're in their early/mid teens. An age where emotionally charged media resonates with and sucks you in, regardless of its quality. Also at that age you don't really tend to think too critically about the media you consume. Then you get older and hindsight hits you and makes you realize how flawed the things you liked are. Also, the first 3 games of the series (in release order not story order, so KH 1, CoM, and 2) tell a somewhat solid story with a few flaws and some awkwardness. Honestly, if they had just stopped after KH2 and left the Lingering Will as an ambiguous piece of lore like how Tolkien does lore in his series then the franchise wouldn't get nearly as much flak for its story. All the convoluted bullshit started with BBS and then just kept getting more asinine with each spin off release, culminating with the mess that is KH3. Hell, KH3 only even exists because Nomura needed some way to tie up all that bullshit that started after KH2's release.
@@Jixsurez Oh god, the stench of sweaty weebs. I truly pity Riku if that's what he's had to smell for the entirety of reverse/rebirth and the entire year of 358/2 days.
2:32 Listen, Riku.. 😂 2:51 Lexaeus: * spawns next to Zexion * Zexion: "Don t I even warrant a hello Lexaeus?" Lexaeus: * Fades * 🤣 12:53 Straight to the point! 😂
You know they skipped straight to the boss fight because they had no way of justifying why Riku was fighting bosses that Sora took cared off in KH1. I don't even think he knows who most of them are.
monstro version1(version2 is if you do it after saving kairi....its weird) is actually canon.the only boss he probably has no specific memorys of except for its looks is the wonderland boss.the problem is,why didnt they just write a scenario to make it more interessting? riku could have reflected on the events of kh1
wonderful song starting at 3:55 is Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses - Custom Battle (edit: or Vs CPU? getting conflicting results but search for either one and you'll find it) never played the game but I looked for the song name immediately because damn it's snazzy
Did he though? He chose to betray his father figure very easily, he was the one with the idea to set up that lab. He chose to experiment in people unethically. Like, what Kingdom Hearts 3 says isn’t true, he was hardly manipulated by Xemnas.
if you're wondering how i deal so much damage to Lexaeus at 13:34, its because if you let him buff himself into super sayan 1, he gains hyper armor and cannot be staggered, which means he takes 100% of the damage from Dark Aura's finisher. that alongside the Maleficent Dragon card results in 3 bars of damage

When his DP runs out, he gets locked into a reverting animation that ceases mobility and leaves him vulnerable for about 20-30 frames before possible movement (even though the 2/3s of said animation has invulnerability). Getting card broken also drains DP before possible movement going into dark mode.
Everytime I hear the dialogue and lines of a kingdom hearts game, I question how this entire series took off as is.
Dialogue aside kh is basically anime with Disney characters I think that's how it took off
A squaresoft worker and a Disney worker stepped into an elevator while the squaresoft worker was high
It's because the music is god tier and tricks people into getting emotionally invested. There's also cool imagery and awesome sounding one liners that imply a way better story is being told, but are actually meaningless when you sit down and try to analyze the story.
People don't like KH because of the actual garbage story being told, people like KH because of the way it made them feel
AT Productions depends on the anime, there’s a good chunk out there that’s actually well written
Gameplay (especially KH2FM, shit's tight dawg)
Music (I honestly considered getting the rhythm game just for that remix of the main screen theme)
Characters (they're all heavily flawed but they have their moments)
Imagery/Designs (keyblades and magic and shit, nigga, plus the designs of characters and worlds are noice despite how hard we meme on them, also the hundreds of keyblade designs are cool to look at and the fact that the keyblade can change design inspires fanart out the ass like how Sonic inspires OCs)
Disney (everyone has at least 1 Disney franchise they like and chances are it appears in or is at least referenced by a KH game)
Final Fantasy (same point as the Disney one, if you like FF on any level you're bound to get at least 1 bone thrown your way)
Also the fact that most people get into KH when they're in their early/mid teens. An age where emotionally charged media resonates with and sucks you in, regardless of its quality. Also at that age you don't really tend to think too critically about the media you consume. Then you get older and hindsight hits you and makes you realize how flawed the things you liked are.
Also, the first 3 games of the series (in release order not story order, so KH 1, CoM, and 2) tell a somewhat solid story with a few flaws and some awkwardness. Honestly, if they had just stopped after KH2 and left the Lingering Will as an ambiguous piece of lore like how Tolkien does lore in his series then the franchise wouldn't get nearly as much flak for its story. All the convoluted bullshit started with BBS and then just kept getting more asinine with each spin off release, culminating with the mess that is KH3. Hell, KH3 only even exists because Nomura needed some way to tie up all that bullshit that started after KH2's release.
riku, landing the final blow on ansem: smell you later, ansem.
If darkness stinks, then does light smell nice? Or what?
Well, Riku does mention that Naminé smells like Kairi... which is kinda creepy.
@@AlexandreRibeiroXRV7 And then he smells his fingers...yeah, it's a dirty joke
I'd say. It probably smells like how happiness feels
@@marishort6871 Uhhhhhhhhh.....
The Vanitas "Too slow" right before 15:00 just killed me XD
@Devilry Games Guy from Birth By Sleep. Ven's darkness. The guy who always wears that black helmet.
RIKU IS ACTUALLY VANITAS IN SECRET
I mean his armor thing is loosely based on Dark Riku's except it's much darker in contrast and has no empty heartless emblem
14:57
So, uh, what DOES darkness smell like anyways? Chocolate? Alcohol? The many piles of corpses I left on my way here? Answers, people.
Smells like an anime con
@@Jixsurez Oh god, the stench of sweaty weebs. I truly pity Riku if that's what he's had to smell for the entirety of reverse/rebirth and the entire year of 358/2 days.
Let’s beg Square to release a KH cologne that smells like darkness. That should answer all our questions
It smells like Lovecraft, I'd say.
TetraMaster47 it smells likd COCA COLA
Replica Riku be like "Stop saying I look like Riku, he's a coward an I'm NOT A COWARD!"
2:32 Listen, Riku.. 😂
2:51 Lexaeus: * spawns next to Zexion *
Zexion: "Don t I even warrant a hello Lexaeus?"
Lexaeus: * Fades * 🤣
12:53 Straight to the point! 😂
Lexaeus is done with the organisation
"i can now smell darkness"
"that is kinda weird"
You know they skipped straight to the boss fight because they had no way of justifying why Riku was fighting bosses that Sora took cared off in KH1. I don't even think he knows who most of them are.
Yeah he does, he worked with them remember?
I agree
He did work with the bosses
@@angelistoftenshi He worked with the Disney Villains, but not exactly with the heartless bosses.
monstro version1(version2 is if you do it after saving kairi....its weird) is actually canon.the only boss he probably has no specific memorys of except for its looks is the wonderland boss.the problem is,why didnt they just write a scenario to make it more interessting? riku could have reflected on the events of kh1
The card should've been buff riku
PC Recom so it could've been modded
I'm surprised Vexen gathered any data on Riku considering he was stunned for more than half the fight
15:12 that transition was butter-smooth!
I love how nomura decided to use “smell” in the script and never used them anymore in future games
Sleep? Riku, i think you're on the wrong game
CELLplays Too slow
12:49 had me absolutely dying holy shit
DARKEST DARKNESS? WHAT'S NEXT NOMURA THE DARKNESS'S DARKNESS WITHIN THE DARKNESS?
Dasanii “Darkness within darkness”
Just wait for Dream Drop Distance for that one.
Are you trying to give him ideas?
Had to do a double take at 12:42 . God damn that's terrifying.
Trapstep Media I don’t get it
@@jhur7588 Larxene's face is on Axel's and Vexen's.
@@TrapstepMedia Holy cow. I never noticed that!
Man, that's creepy.
NOOOOOOO!!!
Oh Jesus it is
12:39
Repiku: I need an adult!
Larxene: *I am an adult!*
These are the most optimal ways to experience the KH franchise
wonderful song starting at 3:55 is Yu-Gi-Oh! The Duelists of the Roses - Custom Battle (edit: or Vs CPU? getting conflicting results but search for either one and you'll find it)
never played the game but I looked for the song name immediately because damn it's snazzy
leaflizer udabes
Thank you
The game is great once you get the hang of it
20:25 that boy be playing repliku like mario
Riku: I cant stand your foul stench
Ansem: well in that case *grabs deodorant*
Ah yes the fun game where Riku can randomly smell his enemys
"Darkness is my enemy!"
6:42
Nothing scares me more than Micky appearing out of the ether and just saying darkness
Must be the work of Disney.
11:03 Perfect use of a bleep
"You're F*****" I can't help laughing at that every time.
Riku: You're F***ked!
Lexaeus: No u
Ansem SoD: No u x9999 damage
Lexaeus: This is a fight I should not have started
And lexaeus noticed that is ansem because his last word is "the superior's (heartless)"
Vexen: …
Zexion: …
Vexen: Your adopted
Zexion: 18:45
true
27:45
perfect use of that
Ansem is just dubbed joseph lets be honest
Smells like Darkness in here
darkness
*darkness*
_darkness_
*_darkest darkness_*
LIGHT
Oh no. Do you smell that? *Sniff sniff*
*Riku Wakes up in some random place*
Riku: Let's kill as many people can we can find in here king mickey!
Zexion deserved better...
Did he though? He chose to betray his father figure very easily, he was the one with the idea to set up that lab. He chose to experiment in people unethically. Like, what Kingdom Hearts 3 says isn’t true, he was hardly manipulated by Xemnas.
12:42 Larxene's smile haunts my nightmares.
You;re F****d IM DEAAAD
Hey, F[][]k!
11:25 I was NOT ready for that 😂
Its easy to forget how good Chain's story is
Irony Break!
"You and Kairi smell the same"
-Discord mod Riku. Smelling innocent girls.
Oh shit. I didn't know the CoM cutscenes were this good. Nor that Riku's backstory was this detailed. Damn.
You just have to slog through all the garbage Disney “worlds” to get to the cool stuff
27:46 *...OH, SHIIIIIIIT!!!*
Or alternatively, *SUNADABEETCH!!!*
if riku was asleep and this is rebirth experience
does that make it a rebirth by sleep
