WE REACHED 3.000.000 VIEWS THANK YOU! I WANNA THANK THE KINGDOM HEARTS COMMUNITY FOR WATCHING! CAN'T SAY ANYTHING ELSE RIGHT NOW!

Imagine not knowing about kh and watching this jrpg vid for 4 min then goofy and donald jump in

i love how this intro waits until almost 4 minutes in to remind you that this game has disney characters in it.

It's been 17 years and I feel like I'm the only person wondering if Sora's momma even knows her son done just up and disappeared on her.

Skrillex is actually a huge fan of KH. I can’t imagine the excitement one can feel from being told you’ll be doing the opening song for the most anticipated game from yo ur favorite franchise.

Because Its not a Kingdom Hearts game without someone falling

Did anyone else get chills when it showed axel and Roxas standing in the rain? Just in Those 3 seconds I felt all the pain and sadness Axel had felt from losing Xion, and Roxas.

IT'S 5 YEARS ALREADY?!

Oh my god, has it really been 2 years since this game came out? Fuck man, time flies...

the most intense chess game ever

yOuVE eNtErEd a BlOcKeD ScEnE

KH 1 Opening: An absolute club banger. KH 2 Opening: Sentimental. KH 3 Opening: T R A P

I won't lie, I burst into tears watching this for the first time. The lyrics hit when you're going through something. Idk what it is about this. But it melts through me every time.

The entire KH lore recapped in 4 minutes.

You know after beating the game I come back to re watch this opening, shit is epic man.

"They can take your world." "They can take your heart." "Cut you loose from all you know." "But if it's your fate..." "Then every step forward will always be a step closer to home." SORA

For all those listening, KH 4 is now officially announced with a trailer. what a time to still be alive

I was in 5th grade when KH first came out...watching this got me soo emotional. To see Sora age through the years...and seeing how far he’s come and how much he’s grown made me realize...my god...soo much time has passed. I’m grown now with 2 kids of my own playing this. Time truly waits for no one. Been awesome growing up with this amazing franchise. Now my kids will also learn about and grow with it. ❤️💕

the song is great and all but *how am i going to sing the dubstep*

The door of light opening opening and All the Keyblade Warriors walking to it never fails to give me chills

Sora is in Smash everyone. So, much, HAPPY

How I wish I can play this game for the first time again

First time watching this I jokingly asked myself if Skrillex made it didn't think I'd be right

Congratulations to SORA in Smash 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼💥💥💥✨✨🎊🎊🎉🎉🎉🗝️🏰

*_Me: •sees Xion die•_* *_Also me: WATCH ME CRY ALL MY TEARS_*

Gee, it was about time someone uploaded the English version of KH3!

I keep watching this because of how much this opening is epic

This is one of the greatest videogame openings of all times. And this series is just something else...

This opening was epic. Fitting for the end of this saga. And once again, Utada knocks it out!

Am I he only one who wants a Chess Set just like that? Love this song!

If you think about this, Xehanort has ripped the lives of these children apart so he could prove a point. It makes no sense, but it is diabolical.

The flashback scenes to the other Kingdom Hearts games brings me back to my childhood. So many memories I had playing Kingdom Hearts as a child. And it feels so nostalgic too me. I remember as a child watching my dad play KH 1 and 2 back on the PS2 days. And I was all like why is there Disney mixed in with this? It wasn't until years later that my dad kept insisting at Pawn shop that I started playing the KH games. I have so many fond memories of this series that I don't ever want to forget. One of the best JRPG game series ever.

2:12 will always be my favorite part of the whole song because it portrays Days so well to where you can almost feel Roxas’s emotion.

The farther you get in the game, the more this makes sense and the more perfect it is. I'm no Skrillex fan but this opening was everything I ever wanted from this 14 year wait. Also, at 2:56 when Sora cuts a path to free all those lost in the darkness, just absolute perfection.

One of my favorite parts of this opening is at 2:58 when Sora opens a path of light and the others appear one by one. Every single one of them have accepted their stay in the darkness, their backs turned to the light before it slowly opens to them, showing the way out, showing surprise of seeing the light. All, except Ventus, who has accompanied Sora for so long and knows the strength of his heart. And Riku, who knows his best friend better than anyone and knew he would not give up and leave them there. Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I like the idea that although Riku was stuck in darkness, he never gave up hope that Sora would find his way to him and pull him back to the light. Which he did in the second installment, and it's shown symbolically in this opening, hence why we get KH2 Riku.

Let's be honest, you all know why you're here.

Nomura said inultimania: the story of the opening suggests the mind of Sora after the ending.

Simple and Clean: Energetic and anxious Sanctuary: Beautiful and powerful Face My Fears: Clashing of corruption and tranquility Don't Think Twice: An uplifting lullaby Not a popular opinion but Face My Fears is my favorite

This is the most beautiful anime and Disney opening ever it brings a tear to my eye I love kingdom hearts

2:35 Roxas squaring up against Axel on the chess board is still the coldest part of this intro. 🥶

Soon as it hits 2:55 I literally got smooth chills as sora frees everyone from the darkness and they walk out. MAN MY HEART SUNK!!

I was so thankful when this came out, kingdoms hearts pulled me from my suicidal thoughts back then with kingdom hearts 2. KH is always within my heart

Literally was in tears the first time i watched this when KH3 dropped childhood just rushed through my body 😭 such a beautiful franchise

Sora literally cutting through the darkness to reach those lost and bring them back to the light. Ahh, hits me hard.

Hikari Utada just encompasses the early 2000s era of music, even now. I love that.

Tell me why watching this made me uncontrollably weep

coming here after seeing the Kingdom hearts 4 trailer! LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

The only game in this franchise I ever owned was Chain of Memories on the GBA how in the hell does this music have this much of an effect on me

I've watched this OP several times and I have not gotten sick of it

After seeing the ending, listening to the words said at the beginning of the video makes me feel a lot more hopeful about the future.

Sora is finally in SMASH!!! 😭👏🏼✌🏼

The scene with my boy Roxas running after Xion always gets me, they knew what they were doing with that dutch angle and Utada's vocals 😭🔥

Am I the only one who got really emotional around 2:59 ? Thank you so much for uploading this! I'm going to watch it over and over ;_;

Fate of the Characters Based upon the Opening : 1. Terra became Xehanort Vessel known as Terra-Xehanort. 2. Aqua got Trapped in the Realm of Darkness. 3. Ventus lost his own hearts. 4. Riku got Caught in Ansem Darkness but soon became the True Keyblade Wielder along with Mickey. 5. Sora Lost the Power of Waking and Now in Search for the 7 Guardians of Light along with Donald and Goofy as his Companion. 6. Kairi Train to become the Keyblade Wielder. 7. Axel/Lea join the Lights and Became the New Keyblade Wielder. 8. Roxas Lost his Heart. 9. Xion join the True Organization XIII in Xemnas Order. 10. Namine Heart are forever concealed within Kairi.

Sora's story has got to be one of the saddest but most inspiring. Just some kid whose world was turned to shit and he was thrust into the adventure he thought he wanted, but i was so full of pain and loss, yet he still keeps going because its important to him to save everyone he can. He stepped up to be the hero but it cost him everything.

Idc how convoluted the plot is, Nomura made our childhood and that’s what matters. At least to me.

Watched this on shrooms with my friends this series means a lot to me. Showed my friends this and when Donald and goofy jumped in everybody started laughing

Sora finally in Smash 🔥

I bet there's gonna be more views after the final Smash Bros reveal.

Who's here after sora announcement on smash?

I love the shot of Roxas and Axel in the rain. His face shows that he didn't want to fight his best friend and its amazing

And now, our boy Sora is in Smash Bros!!!

this is one of the best damn video game openings ever and no one can change my mind. it tells the story very simply, the lyrics matching each group of characters as they go and the timing is just on point

Sora stands in a darkened version of the Final World. He says his opening words as if his trying to move past all that he has lost and grab hope. His words also convey that one day he will return. The Sora we see at the start is the Sora that disappeared in the ending of KH3.

Welcome to Smash Sora..you've earned It!

If Kingdom Hearts was a show, everyone would be asking for a game.

Congratulations

Chills. When you hear the voice of a goddess.

Imagine Trying to make a new video game series and seeing KH keeps going 😈

I swear I love this so much and Kingdom Hearts general!

This was one of the hardest intros to a game ever created was not expecting skrillex on this

They actually put him in smash👏😭👏

SORA's finally in smash

Does anyone else get chills when Xemnas walks behind sora in the shadows? I dont really know whats so powerful about that scene that gives me those chills but man....also the pain in Axels face when he goes to fight Roxas! ;A; KH3 HAD TOO MANY FEELINGS I CRIED IN EVERY LIVESTREAM I WATCHED

so glad you can watch this over and over a lot on the actual game too!

Who came back to this after finding out Sora is the final smash character?

This intro says a lot about the story so far, going through time as it shows all the main characters having their lives getting twisted and ruined by Organization XIII and Xehanort, all while depicting a simple game of chess, showing that Xehanort and the rest of the organization see their whole plan as just an easy game, and the main characters as simple chess pieces needing to be played.

The fact that I have fragments in my memories of the very first game, it’s been ages and I was soo young. Being 18 now makes me look back my childhood and missing it, seeing this game now makes me nostalgic

Okay I have a newfound appreciation for the Kingdom Hearts series. I always liked the series since I was a kid, but now, having watched all the Kingdom Hearts openings for all the games, I am realizing how deep and emotional this series is. As a kid you don't understand it as much. At 28, I understand. Who would've thought this series would be as deep as it is. In all the openings, it shows Sora constantly running after the ones he loves, Riku and Kairi. Riku being led down a destructive path, Sora trying to save him, and Kairi trying to save Sora in turn; all the while facing enemies and adversaries along the way, symbolic of life's struggles and challenges along the way. Sora's constant chase after the ones he loves, the pain he goes through when he can't reach them, but the struggles and battles along the way making him stronger. Sometimes life feels like a never ending battle, but this game teaches us that nothing else matters except for the ones we love. Having the ones we love in this life is what is important; it motivates us to keep trying, there's hope because they make our lives better. It's easy to lose ones we care about to distractions, being led down the wrong path, life being a vapor, making mistakes and having consequences, or people coming and going constantly in our lives that we care about. Sometimes we feel trapped, symbolic of Namine trapping Sora with her magic after feeling so close to victory yet feeling like its to no avail, like we are sinking into despair, symbolic of Sora going deeper into the depths of the ocean; I feel, symbolic of depression, feeling like we are drowning. At the end of the game, it shows Sora coming back up to the surface, to happiness and peace back with his friends. I had no idea how deep these games were, but I understand now. Even the ocean wave that overcomes Sora in the first game and he is clawing, fighting to get back to Riku who has his hand extended out to him but to no avail; also symbolizing him not being able to reach him because Sora could not go down the dark path that Riku was going down, but showing Sora's motivation to reach him regardless. So much pain in the struggle, and yet, his new friends along the way gives him hope that he will see them again if he keeps trying. This game shows us to not give up no matter what and to keep fighting for the ones we love while they are here. What a beautiful game and the openings have always been epic. Some of the most deepest video game openings, and the games are emotional and deep themselves. I may have to play through these games again as an adult, like Utada Hikaru says, this life can be bittersweet. This game also explores the light and darkness in everyone. People's need to cling onto the light because it gives us hope, but the temptations that darkness also brings. Riku was tempted, he desired to have Kairi and was willing to do anything to bring her back. Intentions good but the desire so great that he succumbed to the darkness. Its not until you are in too deep in the darkness that you realize the consequences of doing so. What humans are willing to do to achieve our desires can bring us to darkness, but as this game shows us, the light will always overcome the darkness and there is hope. :)

Who's here after Sora is in Super Smash Bros Ultimate?

Sora has made it into super smash brothers ultimate

2:22 Xion disappearing gets me every time 😭

I love how you see the villains for each chess piece Xehanort moves

Kairi: this is my boyfriend sora and his boyfriend riku

One Boy who was never mean't to weild the key, changes everyone's fate, while always sacrificing his own.

This actually made me cry. Seeing how much the characters have grown and how close I've gotten to them over the few years I knew KH really warms my heart in a way that not many other games can. I can proudly say, that I am honored that this game came across my life. Thanks, SquareEnix!

I always love the opening and the song!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm still on Kingdom Hearts 1 and this opening Cutscene is keeping me hyped to continue the game and find out these characters and their backstories.

Sora’s amiibo has finally been announced folks, WAHOOOO 😃

Me waking up to work early morning everyday: "Watch me cry all my tears"

Feels like watching a music video with those sick music

Who is watching this after sora being in smash

Can't wait to see kingdom hearts 4 opening!

3:00 gives me chills every time

I can’t wait what sora has to say in Kingdom Hearts 4 intro

Who came back after the KH4 announcement?

Sora smash bros whos here

I've never seen a battle between two sides that have grown stronger since the first game. Even seeing Xehanort grow up with his ambition to find balance between light and darkness makes me so much more invested in the story.

WE DID IT BOYS SORA IS IN SMASH!

Happy 5th Anniversary Kingdom Hearts 3.
