It feels so good to come together as a community again to look at trailers and analyze them. Thanks for all you’ve done for KH3 and can’t wait to see what KH4 has in store for us!

Nomura said he made two endings because he knew how strong Yozora was so he simply wanted people to see something when they lose.

You brought Strelitzia’s hairpins but completely missed the most important detail about them. You only brought up the one that looks like an X, but when you put them together it makes XI which was Marluxia’s number in the Organization!!

Imagine if sora actually learned about keyblade armor. That's actually one of the coolest things Nomura has come up with and with strelitzia here, it wouldn't too farfetched to say she could teach him about it and travels through worlds on a glider. I'm actually sad it isn't used more, I want it to be.

The Kingdom Hearts community all around is back its peak. 5 incredibly informative and entertaining videos and a skit from you in the span of 24 hours. Not to mention all the superb content from other creators. Feeling mad nostalgic at the insanity of the events this past day. Here's to another adventure 🙏

20:16 fun fact for all my car enthusiasts here. Sora's apartment is right by turn 1 of the Tokyo Route 246 circuit from the Gran Turismo series and just 245m east from that dot, on the same street, is the Honda Welcome Plaza. That wooded area is the Akasaka Imperial Property.

Regarding the symbolism of Sora's chess piece: It's directly in the middle of the board; betwixt the light and the darkness. Since the realm of fiction/unreality is devoid of both light and darkness and the phrase "the choice is yours once more" is center stage, I theorize that Sora might not just be fighting the darkness this time, but light as well, as hard as it is to imagine.

Sora tapping into the darkness would be really cool to see. Darkness and it’s powers in the KH universe aren’t inherently bad and can be used for good, and for a character like Sora, being able to balance light and darkness in battle would be extremely useful.

9:45 another thing to note is that Disney uses Unreal Engine for the sets for the Starwars shows, so many Starwars environments could be imported and quality reduced to run on consoles, perhaps being why a Star Wars environment would be the first ultra high quality environment they'd show in a trailer EDIT: To add some more detail to this, here are some reasons they use this instead of a green screen: 1. It lets the actors have a better idea of what they're actually doing in context 2. The director can move cameras and see the impact in real time rather than not knowing until the edit 3. Saves time for a TV production as chroma key can be difficult to get right, especially quickly

One thing I thought worth mentioning is that “The Lost Masters” could indeed refer to the Foretellers, but it could also refer to the ancient Keyblade Masters from the time the Master of Masters was a child. (So this may refer to Luxord and Demyx’s somebodies for example)

Prediction: We will get to new worlds by the same method Yozora used to see Sora. At he end of the fight, Yozora wakes up in the back of a car and Luxord says "Impressive, is it not?" implying that some sort of technology (VR maybe?) was used to send Yozora, or at least his mind/heart, into another world. So I bet that is how we will get to different worlds if this all really does JUST take place in Quadratum.

Oh my god cynical, I remember when you were making KH3 analysis videos ages ago. You've come so far and I'm happy I've stuck with you.

29:10 also, watch this attack slowly, the drill is formed from a bunch of keychains merging into the drill. I have another theory that this keychain is going to be the source of Sora’s power, since we now have 2 things he uses it for (the grapple chain being the other)

It feels really nice, that even for the 20th anniversary I still feel the absolute hype that I felt for KH3. The series and all of us might get older but I sure do love some freaking out over KH trailers :)

Just like old times, man I missed when you and HMK did this.

This game has the potential to be the first numbered kingdom hearts game where Donald and goofy don’t travel alongside sora for at least the majority of the game. it feels too soon for them to find sora, and I kinda want to see them focus more on the kingdom hearts original characters accompanying sora instead of the Disney ones. If Donald and Goofy do join sora, I’d imagine they’d use similar art style to Detective Pikachu and Sonic for incorporating Donald and Goofy into the realistic environments.

Did we forget that in ReMind, Riku states that it been a year since Sora disappeared before doing the data fights? This is when MoM is also taking place cuz they mentioned Kairi's way of looking for Sora. So while yes he's been sleep on that couch for a week, but a year has passed at this point

I'm yet to see anyone really acknowledge the "7 days" that sora spent asleep cause I feel like it's also a reference to Roxas and his last seven days of summer vacation or his first seven days in the organization. When I heard it I immediately made that connection. I just really can't wait to see Roxas. Also Axel, Xion, and everyone else but especially Roxas.

"Build" could also mean changing stats of Sora. Like switching from a 'damage' build to a 'magic' build

I think the Quadratum and 104 building we see in the Yozora boss fight in KH3 is an illusion created by his artifical sun thing that he uses. We see the city boot up almost like a simulation. Also, the wind starts blowing when the city illusion is fully loaded up, and we see the artificial sun create strong gusts of wind later in the fight. Yozora uses illusions throughout the entire fight, and it would make sense to project a battlefield that confuses his opponents and makes him feel more at home.

Just to let you know that this takes place after MOM so sora is Should be 1 or 2 years older so he would be 17 or 18 and I think this scene takes place later in the game, I can imagine that every time he travels into a new world he spends 7 days asleep, Simular to Notucs Sleeping in verses 13. So I think he spends that time trying to find others via dreams.

Kingdom hearts is my childhood as I get older and the fact sora looks mature gives me the nostalgia and connection. I can’t wait for this game to release.

As for the multiple timelines thing with the endings to the yozora fight, Nomura actually cleared that up in the q&a during the 20th event, when asked about it, he said the team knew players would be dying a lot to during the fight, so they wanted to give them something to watch as well. Based on his response it really does seem like they might have just put it in with no greater significance after all

I got into KH through a classmate bragging about how good it was, so I gave it a try. then the KH3 trailers started rolling out, I'm glad this time that they are pretty much going straight to KH 4, exciting to watch your reaction to the trailers and you doing a in depth discussion. great content as always my man

Thank you for all of your updates dude hope you’ve finally slept!

I don’t think Sora is older in this game. Maybe his design just looks more realistic because he’s in Quadratum. He almost resembles Yozora. I wonder if Sora and Yozora swapped places?🤔

Here's a thought: Sterlitizia might have only been in Quadratum for at least 2 years. If 7 days in unreality equal to that of a year in reality and if Strelitzia has been "dead" for 100 years, then 100 years=100 weeks. There are 52 weeks in a year. Coming to the conclusion that she's only been in Quadratum for around 2 years.

You know there's something that piqued my interest with the anniversary poster The organisation members were all dressed in their dark robes at the bottom Except Ienzo. ...If Quadratum is an afterworld, does that mean we'll be able to run into his parents?

I think the opening monologue is also Nomuras way of communicating with those of us who were disappointed with the KHIII ending. I.e. if you were disappointed with the ending, there are endless options for other games to play, but you will be missing out on the next phase of KH

Sora being in a purgatory type world of the afterlife. That’s an interesting way to put it as the setting for Quandratum. The world between life and death. I believe that we’ll be able to uncover the secrets. And looking forward to seeing familiar and new faces. I like the concept of characters being connected to each other. Or old concepts like versus xiii becoming a fusion to the KH series. ☺️

Wasn't it said somewhere that in unreality, Light and Darkness don't hold sway the way it does in the normal KH universe? Chirithy told Sora at the beginning of Re:Mind that he would lose his powers as a result of misusing the Power of Waking

Sora should be able to summon Bahamut to go with his new quadratum style.

"she knows how to swing the stick" that sounded very unintentionally dirty hahaha

32:20 - This isn’t an entire building, it looks a bridge that would link two buildings/towers together - you can see it earlier floating behind the creature as Sora approaches it

Dude this trailer had me literally screaming! Real life?? Real people?? A DARKSIDE LOOKING THINGY?? STERLITZIA?

Based on the trailer, if the "Afterworld" of the Kingdom Hearts Reality is Quadratum/Unreality, then maybe that concept can be applied vice versa. So the "Afterworld" of people in Quadratum/Unreality is the Kingdom Hearts Reality. It might explain why Yozora's attempt to "save" Sora was going after his life, maybe he was trying to get him back to his world. Feel free to debunk this, it just popped in my head, and I haven't played the games in a few months. (I haven't finished watching Cynical's video either at the time of writing this)

Can't wait for the ride. Great to have such detailed and well put together info roundups from you again boss. Keep up the good stuff~!

Dude I've been watching your channel since way back with 3 can't wait to take this ride with you again!

so good to see a new analysis video after so long! i missed this hype so much, you make it amazing with your videos. thank you Jared!

The mysterious voice is actually Takahiro Sakurai who voices Cloud Strife, it just to damn SIMILAR. Maybe we getting a HUGE crossover

Why do I have this feeling, that Sora will interact with Disney Characters, as Cartoons stuck inside a TV. In some kind of 4th wall breaking, like the universe is a video game like in Star Ocean 3 .

I can already imagine if the whole gang arrives in quadratum and they're all just DRIPPIN

I imagine build in the hud might mean like a class type from final fantasy. Like a dragoon build would give you something like Xaldins moves with the lance and maybe some spirit armor. That would be so hype

What I find weird saying the "Lost Master Arc" refers to the foretellers from Union. It clearly says "Lost Master" and not the plural, meaning in my mind, that it refers to either the Master of Masters himself or Ava who was the only one "lost" from the after credit scene from kh3.

I’m so happy this types of videos are back on your channel. 😭❤️

Can we all agree that Fabula Books is a cozy name for a cute little book shop?

The narrator voice in the intro sounds the closest to Ira's japanese voice among the foretellers. Though it also sounded like Brain's voice , do probably Luxu in Brain's body Also height wise Sora still looks like he is 16, if we put him into ffxiii he might just be llike a bit taller than Hope. Age wise Sora is about the same age as the FF type 0 character and most of those guy are tall as towers like Rikku. Even in the new trailer Sora is just a bit taller than Sterlitzia which is like just about the same height as Kairi, so it seems Sora is still the same height and that's juat the new aesthetic fooling peoples height or age perception

This is soo cool! I missed you and the community and all the hype of setting up theories and analyzing!! Wish you all a nice day!

It's good to see you make another kh analysis video man see you in a few months lol but really it does feel good

Considering how the drill attack is formed, "Build" could be referring to forming objects out of light and darkness. If you look closely at the drill, it seems like Sora is using his power as the base and taking shreds of darkness from the Darkside to form the sharp bits. After the initial impact, parts of the hand blast off and look to be fusing with the attack.

The fact that he was going to originally call it Verum Rex tells me that just the overall feel and standard of worlds May be completely different. If he was bout to call the game a completely different name I feel like that Disney world exploration isn’t going to be a main focus at all. I really applaud tetsuya for being one of the few heads I know to totally change the vibe of games to adhere to the ongoing story. Idk many games that progress like kingdom hearts

After letting my feelings settle on FF characters not being in KH3, I've come to the conclusion that Disney characters are also not needed in KH4 at this point. I feel there's enough solid lore around KH now they can drop the other worldly IPs and focus on Nomura's narrative. I hope they keep the core characters that revolve around Sora and the gang of course but going to other worlds didn't even feel necessary in kh3, they mostly felt like filler and I just wanted to know more about the core KH characters. BUT I do think a star wars tie in would be pretty legit since both stories are constantly talking about the battle of light and darkness and I think Luke in Episode 6 would relate pretty well to Sora at this time.

Love it! Thanks for taking the time to make this! Kh4 hype train commence!!!

I think something that makes the DARKSIDE feel semi out of place for me is the fact that it doesn't have a shadow since it is quite literally a shadow 😂

Great vid man. So cool to see this depth of content!

Confirmation of narrator. Was a previously voiceless character. Only Sigurd fills this spot.

This is my favorite thing about KH. Theories, analysis, speculation and the community getting amped up again!

So happy to be back in the Kh hype , i missed those type of vids alot

Havent seen ur channel since kh3 dlc released. Good to be back!!

When I was about 10, I looked up kingdom hearts 3 on the internet for the first time. I wanted to know how sora's journey continued. There wasn't more than a KH3 teaser by then. I then discovered this channel, and I watched every single video, I was so excited, having a trailer drop was like the happiest day of my life, I had so many theories. Now I'm 20, and the cycle starts again. I can't say I'm as excited, but still, kh4 has reawakened a little flame in my heart. Here we go!!

Wow, this is so COOL! Love your indepth analysis. You're a VIP KH KZfaqr. You and HMK are my favorite KHtubers! You're a rock star man! Been a fan of your stuff for many years! Keep doing what you're doing, it's amazing stuff.

That music for the video... Chef kiss

crazy how we are in the new era of kh4 news and information. I remember finding your channel in 2014 in the early days of kh3 when i was in high school and am gonna be starting grad school soon. how the time flies

Kingdom Hearts hype season is in full swing and we ain’t stopping until 4 releases!!

I always look forward to these.

One big thing that needs to be noted is that it's NOT "The Lost Masters". It's "The Lost Master". Singular, not plural.

Just how cracked on money is Strelitzia to give Sora an awesome looking apartment?? Like, that place looks mad good, with a veranda to boot. How long had Strelitzia been in there to work up enough cash to get that place...? Random thought, don't hate, lol

It’s so dope to see the hype train coming back with Jared at the wheel, great for us all and his channel; I can foresee 300k subs soon once the ball rly gets rollin

I think the "build" command is definitely supposed to be for making light constructs, for all the reasons you said. Even when you look at the giant circle and crown that appears when Sora guards, it does seem like an actual object being conjured as opposed to an element of the UI

This is by far the best breakdown of the trailer I've seen bravo!

We're gonna have a field day with all that Scala language in this series once we figure out how to translate it.

The grapple hook is separate from the chain, you can see both separately

Been waiting for this 👑❤️🔑

Sora was probably drifting in the darkness for 1 year, reached quadratum, bought some drip, passed out and woke up in that room.

Was waiting for this. I am forgoing sleep right now so I can see this.

I've got a theory: the Star Wars world is another "fictional" world, like the Shibuya world. Not sure what purpose it would serve, but I guess it could explain how you could have an entire galaxy contained in a single "world," since the fictional worlds in KH seem to be completely different universes rather than traditional worlds.

Eeeekkk!!! So stoked!!!

This is excellent so far. I haven't finished yet but I really wanted to point out something Around 12:33 you say how "The choice is yours" refers to how Sora defied destiny via the power of waking. I don't think that's quite right. Though I agree it's about him defying destiny. In KH1, when Mickey silently speaks to Sora. One of his lines is "the choice is yours." So, as Sora is on the cusp of a new journey once more, he is told, "the choice is yours again." He is free to let the tides of fate and destiny wash over him, tossing his heart too and fro. Or, he can fight the waves, strive for air, and ride them to a better place

Truthfully, i was waitin on your video on the trailer

The pins in Strelitzia's hair could be a reference to Marluxia being number XI in the organization.

Maybe Sora will finally get his armor and Keyblade vehicle for world travel, he’s seen Terra Aqua and Vens armor not the vehicle though… Idk probably not the armor, maybe just the Keyblade transforms? Or Strelitzia knows a way to go to other worlds? She could world hop in Union X.

I think the endless possibilities include stuff outside of Disney Animations and possible other Square Enix properties that are appropriate to show in Kingdom Hearts like other Final Fantasy based worlds, Nier based world, Dragon Quest based world, Chrono Trigger based world, etc.

You mentioned Quadratum is most likely the first world. Yes, BUT maybe there is another prologue where we play as a different character. I always enjoyed those.

When you look at the chess piece of Sora and the "choice" he has to do, I think it might have a link with the relationship between MoM and Xehanort. I don't remember everything that happened between the two of them, how they met etc.... (even if we'll know more in august). We know that after his journey, young xehanort decided to make a choice and it had an influence for the rest of his life and led him to master the darkness. Maybe sora will be put into the same situation as xehanort ?

Can u imagine Sora with a lightsaber Keyblade

Love this kind of videos, kh4 hype!!

Bruh I remember watching your trailer analysis videos for KH3 and now we’re at KH4 this is insane 😭

I think Donald and Goofy will find a way to Quadratum fairly early on in the game. You can't make it a numbered Kingdom Hearts title without the trio.

Thank you so much for this. I didn't go as in-depth with Union Cross nor did I get Re:Mind but seeing the trailer & your video has given me the motivation to try again!

I also wonder if, the scene with the magic "drill", has any significance as it looks like Sora is absorbing the darkness from the Heartless to use as power 🤔

I really missed the hype that is new kh games and trailers. I've been watching your channel since before kh3 was even announced. Thanks so much for years of laughter and content.

I think "The Lost Master Arc" refers to specially one master and not multiple masters. The only person we've haven't seen is Master Ava. We don't know where she went, what happened to her but we do know everyone else's status. That's my theory

Ngl, I stopped looking at this channel as much after 3's release just because the trailer analysis and predictions were what brought me here in the first place. I am extremely excited to come back to this community and join in on the fun again! Here's to another 30 years of anticipation!!

Yknow i kinda like the idea of Sora going on a journey all by himself. He can call on his friends in a different way than actual links. Yknow it could be more like the memories of his friends keep him going throughout the journey. I wouldnt mind that since Sora seems much more mature here Edit: 20:50 Kingdom Hearts San Andreas

banger vid man! good shit

I don't think it's a situation where time in Quadratum flows differently, but more so we're assuming that Sora went to Quadratum shortly after fighting Yozora. I think this fight actually takes place perhaps before the time skip where Riku and Kairi go to the Final World and learn about Quadratum and Sora then spends a year in the final world before finally finding a path through. This would more easily explain why he looks older in this new trailer but then we get to Strelitzia, who despite having died in the age of Fairy Tales, is looking pretty young despite the fact she came from a different timeline, the only thing I can think of to explain this is her heart must've been sent forward in time as her body, for some reason in a white hood was somehow preserved and brought to Quadratum to perhaps fulfill this purpose. Either that or maybe it's more like she said and Quadratum acts as an After World and people who come their from reality don't age, again, my theory is that Sora spent a year in the Final World before going to Quadratum.

Such a beautiful time ! Didn’t think we’d get kingdom hearts 4 so soon if I’m being honest and I’m so happy about it :)

I'd imagine the swirl that shows up as the Heartless' fist comes for Sora represents a QuickTime Event input, yeah?

OH MY GOD WE HAVE A TRAILER?!?? Omg this made my day!!!! 😍😍😍😍 and it looks awesome!! Also something interesting to note is besides making him much more realistic looking his hairstyle is now similar to yozora. So they’re definitely linked somehow.

Actually I think what alot of people are overlooking is that its called "The Lost Master Arc" Master as in singular, referring to EITHER Sora (whom was lost after the events of KH3) or MoM (whos been "gone" since forever)
