Man, this took a whole week. At first, I meant to do just a plain compilation of the Daybreak Town cutscenes, but I soon realized that this game does need someone explaining the meaning of some major plot points after some cutscenes, otherwise you won't be able to understand most of it-especially if you're not familiar with this game. That's why I added some information boxes at the beginning and throughout this video, so I could hopefully give you a better comprehension of what turned out to be the most interesting story out of all the Kingdom Hearts titles so far. This video only contains the cutscenes related to the main plot, excluding battles and the filler episodes from game events and Disney worlds. Yes, the events happening in the Disney worlds do help our Player get some inner development, but they're minimal and they are not related to the actual main storyline-except for Wreck-it Ralph's world, which has been briefly summed up here.

Petition to make "Everglow" the canon name for the Keyblade wielder of KHUX. Just please, Everglow deserves it so damn much.

We're all Xehanorts, but Everglow is the Nortiest of the Norts among us. Everybody say "Thank you Everglow!"

The implication of Ava taking away the protagonist's helmet after their battle is narrative perfection, nice touch

That’s ever glow for ya you he never stops lighting people’s way back to the light of the plot !!

The fact that Everglow changed outfits and hairstyles to his avatar in the cutscenes to have an impression of coherence and of passing time ... it's just hugely awesome ! *R E S P E C T T O E V E R G L O W*

Thank. You. So. Much. I literally have no time to invest in this game, no interest in grinding and relying on gacha for months on end... and you went the extra mile for those who are completely out of the loop when it comes to the mobile game's major plot during the infamous Keyblade War and the events taking place after it transpired. We don't deserve you, dood. Thank you so much for this compilation. I might need to watch it in spurts, but I am definitely looking forward to finally understanding the truth of it all

No filler, five and a half hours. This is fine.

Had a friend round and watched the entire thing in one sitting with us voicing all the characters. The X protagonist will always be Everglow to us 🙏

I'm telling you all. Everglow is the Atlas of the KH community

The fact that without the filler it’s still this long makes me concerned

What a Legend you are my man. For me the Canon name of the Union X protagonist Will Forever be Everglow, you deserve It at least, the minimum

When Luxu-Xigbar said "I hope you like long stories," I imagine this is the story. (Thank you, Everglow.)

Everglow is truly the goat of the KHUX fandom Idk what anyone says, he's the canon Xehanort

Just imagine seeing the cutscenes and the gameplay of Union χ in the Unreal Engine and with voiceover included. Regardless if it becomes a cutscene movie or a full console game, I think Union χ needs to be remade as _Re: Union χ_ for consoles since most of us don't bother playing the app game when it launched and it would be a missed opportunity to have the story and the game be ONLY exclusive via the app.

A bit late but because someone pointed that out, Brain is crying when he saw the statue of Ephemer, that's cute 🥺

that cleared up a few things. But we still don't know WHY game station connected to the dandelion world, only that the darknesses were planning to infect it. We also don't know if Luxu managed to kill the sixth darkness, or if it will end up using Maleficent as a waypoint in the future.

POV: you’re in your twenties on your official adult replay of the whole series, the only games you haven’t played are the phone ones and this hero right here prevents you from having to play the phone game in real time so you can still absorb the content even though you weren’t well off enough to play the games when they came out (no phone) Us kid who were poor and grew up with no time really appreciate your work 🥺🖤

1:43:26 “Basically, when you do story quests in Union x[Cross], you’re actually re-experiencing in an alternate reality the same journey our player already lived in the real world in x[chi] for PC.” This has got to be the most Kingdom Hearts sentence I ever read 😂

A week well spent, man. This is another huge project you've contributed for the community. You should get a trophy for everything you've done thus far.

Thank you Everglow. You are a pillar of this community.

Dude, I'm really impressed, I don't even need the recap or explanations, but I'm gonna leave this video playing overnight and save on my favorites for the future when I can't remember it anymore. Seriously, cudos.

finally got around to watching this and my GOD, IT'S AN ABSOLUTE LIFESAVERRRRR, SO many things make so much sense now -- love that you changed the Player's outfit to show the passage of time, it made it so much easier to keep up with things within the timeline and this is SO extremely well edited, i kept forgetting that its not an official video from squeenix themselves! thank you SO much for this! its quite possibly the most important video in the entirety of the franchise

When the new game drops, I'm still gonna call the protagonist Everglow. He has earned his place in history.

I'm here from your KH Timeline series, which I decided to look up the series recently because I was curious if it really was crazy, ridiculous, hammy storytelling as people said it was. Right now, there's not much silliness so far, but I *AM* oddly invested in this! I only stopped at the moment BBS happened in the Timeline series because I knew that the plot of [chi] just couldn't have ended there, so I went searching for your full run instead, and while that's also nice and helpful in knowing the context of the Disney world montages in Timeline (which are very nicely made and set to beautiful music), it's a long playlist and I'm more invested in the story being told here than there (which, AFAICT, is just "Darkness is invading the Lands of Disney, trying to destroy and intrude on their stories! It's your job to stop them!"). And yes, as others have said, it's a nice touch that you're changing up your outfit as the story progresses as a way to imply time is passing.

Everglow you are literally no exaggeration, the most important person in the kingdom hearts fandom/ community

Everglow with another great video! Ever since 2007 you've been providing the fanbase with quality and I just want to say thanks. The love you put into this series is amazing.

This is awesome! I’m going through the series with my girlfriend right now. And I’m definitely going to use this video. Thank you so much!

Thank you! This is awesome! Honestly they should give you an appearance in the next game as an Easter egg; you def deserve it!

I had a hard time finding a complete story video, especially that was well put together. Hats off to the uploader, by far the best one I've found. The explanations added also work very well.

It's been quite a long while since I first watch you video from your "previous" channel. It is like you have been my Chirithy accompany along my KH journey since then. So once again sincerely thank you for the hard work and love to the KH community.

BOY! I was going to rewatch everything again so i can understand everything but i was too lazy searching for videos. You got us all the way fam and thank you for this

Everglow, you deserve every gold crown achievement the community and Square can offer you. You've genuinely been doing god's work over the last decade and to do this complete vision on top of all of that… …it's awe-inspiring. Even as someone who played through this stuff in real-time alongside you, I know I speak for each and every one of us in thanking you for the contributions and time you've dedicated to this.

You’re such a hardworking person who has a deep love and passion and dedication for making these beautiful videos and compilations. Thank you so very much for all you do for this wonderful gaming community. We love you, Everglow! May your heart be your guiding key!!

who ever actually watch all of this in one sitting deserve a fucking medal

I would love it if the rumoured "KH Disney+ show" was a re-telling of the entire Union X story done in the Back Cover style. Season 1 can be everything leading up to and including the Keyblade War. The player can be named Tetsuya. Or Tetsu.

completely mind blown from the ending oh my god :ooo thank yoh so much for making the compilation video!

Thanks Everglow. I never have time to go through every video, so having it all in one place with the timestamps is extremely helpful. 🙇‍♂️

5:11:07 May your heart be your guiding key, Master Everglow.

Perhaps Luxu betrayed the Master of Masters when he helped a Union Leader: giving Brain a coat to ward off darkness and sending him through a Dark Corridor...? When experienced like this, it is quite possibly my favorite KH story. Thank you Everglow for your hard work!

The work you put into your content for this community is not easy to put to words. I don't know if I'll ever make it through the entirety of this video but I'll likely slowly watch it bit by bit. Thanks for uploading it as once thing and putting as much care into it as you've done.

Thank you for doing this. I quitted Union Cross because of the decisions the developers made regarding the powerlevel and I feared I couldnt comprehend the story. Lately, some videos of other content creators were showing up in my recommends, so I wanted to know whats going on. Did we die? What happenend to the rest of us? Why did Ephemer show up in KH3? Who was the traitor? What was the Masters ultimate goal? Much of Kingdom Hearts does make sense to me now. Some of the cutscenes were gruesome, many of them sad and full of tension. Now I will snoop into the story of Dark Road. Thank you again, Everglow.

Holy crap I can't even imagine how much work this must have been.

Now Square needs to make a 5 and a half hour movie of this

Hey everglow, thank you for all your hard work so far. You and your team are fantastic

Thank you for all you have done for the fans over the years buddy. I don't have the words to express my gratitude properly so this what I got short and simple

Like I said Square should be hiring you and your team to deal with promotional/anniversary/timeline stuff as these are good videos I can feel the love and passion in em

Everyone complained when Nomura introduced time travel to KH. Now I’m pretty sure he’s about to introduce Quantum theory. So I hope everyone’s ready for that~

remember when 1:35:48 was the biggest twist in this game? we've come a long way. a long shocking twisted way.

While I only know some bits and pieces about this story, I don't really have a full grasp of the events that happens, so I'll be looking forward to watching this when I get the time. Thanks Everglow. You rock!

Finally all the Cutscenes in one to fully understand the story can't wait to watch. Once again good sir you are full of surprises I can tell that your heart is definitely full of light enough to share all these wonderful stories of the series. Please continue to do good work. May your heart be your guiding key.

You are a gift to the Kingdom Hearts community, thank you for your work to add to our enjoyment of one of the best series’ of games out there 🙏🏽

Thank you for saving the Kingdom Hearts Community so much time. bless

Thank you Everglow, i never thought i’d cry so much over a KH story being told in blobby visual

Imagine if KHUX got a remake or a Disney+ series

Jesus Christ, man. We do not pay you enough for this, thank you so much!

Just the insane amount of editing is more than worth the like. I was lost multiple times in KH3, as I never finished even the first game due to time constraints and not much happening in like the first 20+hours of gameplay. I figured I really need the story before KH4 ever sees the light of day though. This is an amazing fix, thanks for all your hard work!

Mate I lost track a while ago and I thought I had to watch everything again until the end to see the big picture. Thank you for this, you are the real Master of Masters!

A much needed video that needed to happen. Thank you so much for putting the work in so that others can coprehensively (probally wrote that wrong) follow the Kingdom Hearts story. Your work should get way more praise but that is only my humble oppinion.

Thank you so much for doing this! I’ve been wanting to catch up with the game ever since I heard that the story will be concluded but didn’t know from where to start because of all the fillers, so thank you so much!!

Thank you so much for everything you do! This is an amazing project.

I'm honestly surprised that it all fits in so little time. Then again, with all the Disney worlds filler cut, then that'd make sense.

You are a God for making this.

Mad props for getting this together you da man GOAT

ABSOLUTE madman has done it thanks man

You are a godsend for doing all this work this is better organized and explained than academic journals

This took a lot of work from you! I'm sure of it! So I want you to know that I'm grateful and at last I can get the story of that game in one place!

Man that dearly beloved at start is so calming

just finished watching and even with all the explanation , the story of Kingdom Hearts has left me with more questions than answers. However , Everglow has been so helpful in helping me understand it better and I am thankful for this video.

Your vid is pure gold, I had never played those 2 game series and only watched a video that was from the viewpoint of the masters(where the story ended on Keyblade War), I probably wouldn't understand many parts of the story if not for your additional detailed information throughout the entire video. Kudos to ya!

The x player sure has a hard time fighting off all 4 foretellers. They are very tough, so you gotta distract them until the war surroundings do their part.

Thank you for this so much I been waiting this so much

Congratulations in working on this video, I think many fans will take benefit from it. You are very important to KH community, I hope you understand that!! Thanks

Thank you for all your hard work and the time stamps!

Just thank you.... im speakless.... so many work and finally the whole chi Story to watch.... arrigato everglow🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️🙇‍♀️

Thanks for putting this together!

You did a good job everglow, thank you for this

holy hell thank you so much everglow I (and everyone else) really appreciates this!

Bless you for this! Introducing a friend to Kingdom Hearts and this video was very very helpful

Splendid work!! Congratulations!!

Thank you so much Everglow! One of my fav let's players doesn't play Union Cross, but he has seen the Back story featured from KH 2.8. He is aware he needs to catch up with this story so this will help! I plan on mentioning this video in his Discord Channel, hopefully with his mods' permission.

Thank you so much for making this

I love you SO much for doing this.

You are a godsend for this!!! you are amazing!

Thank you so much for making this!

Wow, dude. This is kind of epic. Nice job.

Congratulations on accomplishing this great compilation.^^

thank you for doing this for us, everglow!

Tha amount of work you put in this video (and in your channel in general) is colossal, bless you 🤍

The editing on the Strelitzia bit holy shit.

This is a huge win thanks

tq for making this video . it makes so easy to just enjoy the story

Thank you so, so very much for this!

Thank you so much everglow for everything you've done to us 😘😘☺️☺️

Thank you for this!! Been wanting to understand the lore of this game in particular especially before kh4.

You are the GOAT man! Thank you very very very much!

Bruh thanks for this great video, really helped me understand most the lore before playing kingdom hearts 3 🙏🏽

EVERGLOW... I freaking love you. I have been a huge fan of this series since as long I can remember. But I never had the motivation to play the mobile game simply because.... It's a mobile game. So thank you so much for this. You genuinely saved me love for this series.

everglow, THANK YOU. you are *amazing*

Thank you for this, long time kh fan but never wanted to actually play though all of this or try to find all the individuals cutscenes on youtube
