Want to point out, when Roxas is telling Xemnas that he's not as good as winning over people's hearts as he thinks, he's DIRECTLY pointing his Oblivion Keyblade at Saix. This is pretty much foreshadowing the revelation through the reports that Saix was the one who told Vexen his plan to atone for the past. It's easy to miss because Xemnas doesn't dwell on it for very long, just sort of shrugging it off since they're already in the middle of the war and everything, but I really noticed it on every subsequent playthrough, Roxas already caught on to the game Saix was playing. That "Holy" attack that Xion does is actually the Final Limit she used in her final boss fight in 358/2 Days, and it essentially works like the Days and Re:Coded versions of Roxas's desperation move Magic Hour/Miracle Hour, where instead of shooting a bunch of light orbs at you they fire a bunch of light pillars that randomly spawn around the arena. It's a creative way to both pay homage to those games while also giving her a more unique moveset.

I find it hilarious that Roxas literally has god-mode activated since he doesn't take any damage nor does he get stunned via any attack.

4:01 "o yea and shes norted during the fight. lol" HOW CAN U SO CASUALLY SAY THAT BIO WTF i had no idea.

One thing you missed is that Roxas powers up during the start of the fight, glowing. The game over screen says that Roxas can't take damage during this, but he's actually programmed not to take any damage, regardless of the glow. If you go into a summon with the right timing, you can skip Roxas activating this and he won't be glowing during the fight(until he activates it again, which he can!), but he'll take no damage either way. Lea can take damage but will never die, since he needs to do the cinematic finisher on Saix. If you go into a summon during that, Saïx will still do the animation and end the first phase, even with Axel missing.

Isa: what’s with you picking up stray puppies? Lea: (Hugging the rest of the KH cast) Shh, I’m protecting them The rest of the KH cast: ( They’re all tougher than him but they like how it makes him feel nice.)

This one is my favorite, the story of the Sea Salt trio is amazing, and this fight is just skdjskdks. 🍦🏖

The closure of the 358/2 Days story-line(and a touching one): Roxas and Xion finally becoming their own people again(with the latter getting her present self's heart back from Sora), Saix accepting his defeat, and the Seasalt trio tearfully reuniting with each other, free from the villains' grasp.

Lea: "Guess I... shoulda brought some ice cream." Me: *ALL I CAN TASTE IS THE SALT OF MY TEARS!*

12:07 Some lines that nobody actually heard because Roxas was too busy pummeling him to a pulp

Bruh Saix had 2 berserk forms and that did not stop Roxas from completely curbstomping him.

That would be awesome if Xion's data fight has her in her armor from Days, but lets her copy the weapons and attacks from the other Organization members.

This still gotta be my favorite fight in the game the buildup the cutscene the people and finally the music

OMG Xion had yellow eyes with the hood :O

I like how the sigil of Lea's Keyblade when he hits an enemy is very reminiscent of his chakrams. You also forgot to mention in the first part: For Kairi's Curaga, it's actually green vines forming a heart and her Pearl projectile has a golden aura, contrary to Aqua's and Mickey's whitish-blue, or bluish-white. Axel somewhat has a permanent Second Chance/Once More, where even when struck at 1HP, he won't die. Too powerful, eh? And for Roxas, he automatically enters his "bathed in light" state, turning him fully immune from damage(like he didn't have even a tiny hitbox to be hit with) and wouldn't even stagger from a non-damaging hit. (That is actually listed in one of the tips in the Game Over screen!)

The fight with roxas is basically a me myself and I

So that low keyblade attack is to show that Kairi and Lea really trained together, since they have the same attack

I really need a Xion data battle in the re-mind

Kairi's attack are SO beautiful, really glad we'll be seing more next week 😍💕

Gonna point out that the black and white thorns that surrounded most of Saix’s attacks are very similar to the “reversal” thorns from Xemnas in Kh2, which suggests that Saix is being controlled during the fight. That and he doesn’t react to anything that’s happening around him during cutscenes until you defeat him.

That spinning attack Xion uses as an ally looks pretty similar to how she took down the Darkside in Days, at least in the DS version.

Agh yes the only game cutscene that made me cry in my whole life good times

Favorite trio out of all the trios, partly because days was my first KH game. I am glad that they get a happy ending here

I hope Xion keeps her copy abilities in the future games like even if she isnt playable

Been waiting for this one. Doing God's work man. Tq for these updates

I want to also bring up if you can somehow bring Xions HP to 1 before Saïx goes berserk she will slouch early while Saïx is still fighting and you will no longer be able to lock on to her

The sea salt trios reunion has to be the most touching moment in the series for me so happy to see xion return and i hope we get more of her with Lea and Roxas

Thanks a lot for this breakdown ! It's always nice to see new stuffs from KH3 👍🏽.

Another interesting thing is that Sora calls out their names when you cast cure/ use items on them (and the other party members too) it's a nice touch

What he was hinting at what is that not only did Vexen/Even & Ienzo/Zexion turn to the side of the light but it was a hint that Saix/Isa had helped them with a vessel for Roxas because he secretly wanted to help.

Also the track that plays during this segment is amazing 😭

I believe we just witnessed axel/Lea finisher for what could be his keyblade transformation if we get to play as him.

I would like to see Saix Protecting Xion in the Future. They're friends now. 😊

Am I the only one who hates how Kairi no longer has the stance that was shown in Dream Drop Distance and she just has Soras stance now? It makes her seem less unique

Dude your videos are fantastic.

This entire sequence was wonderful

This is why I love these videos! I’m probably the only one but I never noticed Xion used the claymores to wreck us. Thanks for all you do!

The thing is, some keyblades are upgraded version of their previous weapons Riku's Way to Dawn is upgrade of Soul Eater Lea/Axel's Flame Liberator is an upgrade of his chakram: Ethereal Flames Heck some Keyblade upgrades into longer/stronger Keyblades. Terra's Earthshaker into End of Earth/Gaia's Bane Aqua's Rainfell into Stormfall. Mickey's Kingdom Key M is a combination forge by Yen Sid (Kingdom Key D and Star Seeker.)

Fun fact, Roxas is completely invincible during his segment of the fight.

The reunion always made me cry also great video bio!

Fun fact: it's very very hard to hear, but when saix gets stunned, he calls out axels name.

Is it safe to say that xion can be as powerful as or even more powerful than sora Cuz maybe if you add memories to her she'll gain abilities from that person from what I see in this fight So she could take sora since she has his powers and saixs if this makes sense

4:35 Or how Axel didn't fair well in the Keyblade War.

Bio, in the RG cutscene between Vexen and Demyx, the former mentions that "he too wants to atone, but he is part of the chosen ones", meaning that most likely Saix was with the traitors helping the lights getting Roxas back, even if the only hints are him being with group in the ending. After reading M E' comments I wanted to point that out, but I'm not sure myself if Roxas knew and purposedly pointed him out in his speech with Xemnas. Just wanted to write down the evidence for the Saix's theory, even if nothing is conclusive...unless Nomura has stated in other materials so or will state in remid. Also, the data battle has been stated with the current org, I wonder what moves they might give to Data Org Xion. She gets Saix's claymore..maybe other org moves, or moves from Sora/Days?

It doesn't matter how many times I see the scene when they reunite, it always tears me up

7:05 _I love the detail of her catching herself so much, it's just so dainty_ Edit with MoM spoils: I also love that low attack, I remember recognizing it during her cutscene when she lunged and swung at Xehanort

I love Xions red effects when she attacks, for some reason it looks great with the Kingdom Key. And even though Xemnas says they have darknesses to replace Xion, they don't bring in a replacement, do they?

I agree with other people here Roxas was hinting at Saix helping them out and helping bring him back. Vexen even whispers about one other person helping them in the Organization. Plus Saix hints at this as well with his convo with Axel.

You kind of missed mentioning that Xion's "fury attack" is (may) a reminiscent of her Limit move from days (which almost looks like KH1/KH2 Ars Arcanum) Anyway, good job as always, really love the breakdown

Young Xehanort wasnt wrong when he said Roxas was a worthy candidate. They literally modeled the pillars just for him.

lea can turn his keyblade into his regular charms

Nice Vidoe, now it's time for Ansem, Xemnas, and Young Xehanort. Then Final Forms for Xehanort :XionSmug: lol

Xion will do the data battle

a lot of people hated the fact that Roxas made the fight easy, but I found it just so beautiful

The seasalt trio reunion the BBS trio reunion aqua's return in the realm of light And mlstly the finality of our clash with Goat-Anort As the whole "KH things" only hapen in the last quarter of the game, all those scenes really felt rushed for me and didn't have any emotional impact. Too bad, all those deserved weeeeeeel better than this. Also Saïx really looks like Street Fighter's 5 unchained Necalli like this, I would love him to re-use this form in "our side" in the next games.

I still wish Roxas, Axel, and Xion were fighting XEMNAS rather than Saix. *He's* the one who screwed up their lives so much and practically got away with it.

Kairi hit xion with that up B.

Astonishing breakdown Bio, this fight need to be analyzed for so long also will u make the 3 Norts breakdown soon just before Re:Mind shows up?

7:46 I think this is Explosion, Axel’s Limit Break from Mission Mode in 358/2 Days 7:55 While this reminds me of his desperation move from Kingdom Hearts II Boy did they do Kairi dirty in the base game. Only an ally for about half a fight… Re:Mind made up for that in some ways but I will not forget.

In the remind DLC we will get more information about Xion how did she come back and so on. 5 days remain guys. *HYPE* Fun Fact: the first time you see/perform Roxas combo is in KH358/2 days only on the final day

YOU CAN BLOCK THE SHOCKWAVE!? Didnt know that

"Xion...who else will I have ice cream with?"

Bio low key referencing his previous video about subduing Keyblade wielders

what kind of 3d modelling is needed? while I am pretty good at hard surface modelling like props and stuff, my character work leaves much to be desired

Can you dk bross breakdown for ansem xemnas and yong xehanort?

People need to understand that this whole time Sora is inside the chess game, or acting out the chess match the masters are playing against eachother. Sora's piece is the King's Piece, Kairi's the Queen ect.

I noticed that xion was using saixes berserk in my critical playthrough!!!

My feelings are very mixed about this battle

Wait, did Lea grab his keyblade keychain between his fingers on his basic combo?

*Xion, Lea, Roxas coming back together always makes me cry.* 😭😭😭😭😭😭

i assume Lea's chakrams are his keyblade transformation

Will you be making a Boss Breakdown on the ReMind final boss?

4:03 I don't see any Xehanort features .

Ok, considering Saix berserker style fighting and form of countering...I’d say Saix’s Lightsaber style would be Form 7, Juyo.

Can someone explain to me how xion is here???? I’ve played through KH3 twice and doing my third run on critical mode and I still don’t understand how she’s here

I just started playing the ventus story of BBS and I notice isa’s battle style is backhand just like ventus. Perhaps since Ven beat Lea using his iconic backhand that’s why Isa could beat Lea in a one on one.

So your saying that xemnas knocked the nort out of xion

Why do I get the feeling the Master of Masters was the architect of this place?

ah yes the boss fights from Days

Saix still has a thing for the moon, or kingdom hearts it seems

Roxas can be seen tapping into the power of light and darkness

I think that kairi and xion can heal you

Did you just.... make the wrist grab make sense?

What if Xion’s data fight will have her steal attack from you during it? 👀 like just being able to mimic a single attack from each form, it’d probably mean one keyblade is vastly better to use than the others huh? 🙉

How the heck does Xion become non-Norted without dying!? We don’t even see the heart get released.

why was xion using the claymore lmao

When they finally make another game they should have sora get a new Keyblade bc Xion and sora both have the kingdom key

I hope we can do the Saïx fight as Roxas since they fought in Days and even though Roxas won, I always felt cheated that Saïx somehow didn't fade away during that fight although it did seem like be did. So I feel like it would be cool to fight and then actually defeat Saïx with him.

Am I the only one excited to play as xion?

WAIT ROXAS CALLS XION FROM SORA!!!!!!!! ○-○

I didn't know xion can go berserk mode. Wtf I dont remember this

Considering the fanbase, i'm probably the only one who really dislikes the crying ASMR after beating Saix.
