“Replica Riku plunges into Replica Riku’s Replica” whoa

Light side: "Hey we need 7 people, so we're going to go do that. Sora, go mess around." Sora: "Got it." Dark side: "Were going to figure out our 13, we still meating at the graveyard?" Light side:"Yeah." Dark side: "Okay, and hey, if you don't show up we'll just kidnap the princesses." Light side: "Oh, okay, yeah no we'll show up. Is that going to be plot relevant at all?" Dark side: "No, it will never be mentioned again." Light side: "Okay, cool. Sora how you doing?" Sora: "Cookin' with a rat!"

Man, you need more appreciation for the sheer amount of puns you slip in under the radar.

I’m geeking out about this, I didn’t realize his KH3 Recapitation was dropping today. 35:30 lmao “Riku’s replica Riku slams into Replica Riku’s Replica” that’s KH in a nutshell

"And confused to somehow hear Elsa singing over the raging storm" It's the little jokes that really make these videos

Honestly the story feels way better when it’s explained like this, especially when it comes to the Disney worlds. I had issues with the story pacing before but I think I can appreciate it a lot more now

“Xemnas tells Lea how’s he’s a worthless character” killed me lmfao

"Riku’s replica Riku slams into Replica Riku’s Replica" I need this on a shirt

He must just look at his script sometimes and just think “I wrote this and I still don’t entirely understand what this means.”

This was such a treat, dying laughing at the repliku section, and the burning rage lingering will section and crying remembering playing through this game for the first time. Big ups Oni!

and after finishing every KH recapitation, I STILL dont know what the fuck is going on

"Drowning in a sea of darkness." Its not a phase mom it's the PLOT LINE

Loved the yugioh puns in the battle against Luxord. But let's be real, with his accent it's far more of a "fancy a game of gwent?" situation

Its cool that they used names from actual union players while Sora is surfing the keyblade wave. Nice touch.

This dude said riku so many times I thought I was having a stroke, but then I remebered thats just kingdom hearts sometimes. Appreciated the Recap though 👍

“Turning to face the storm that is approaching” I see what you did there…

Meanwhile, the following Saga in this series follows Sora's mom looking for him to feed Sora his dinner

I’m very glad this video came to be after Sora’s Smash inclusion, I have a soft spot for KH3, Switching Keyblades on the fly, Shotlocks, Keyblade Transformations, Summoning Amusement Park Rides, Fun side quests like searching for Lucky Emblems and Ingredients, Playing as different characters in the ReMind DLC and the fun Data Battles, I love KH3 for what it is.

Remember when the first game was about Sora looking for his friends? And then KH2 was about Sora...y'know, _finding_ them? With CoM in the middle telling a story about him learning to keep the faith in even the most dire of situations, and 358/2 giving tragic context to those unfortunate enough to be stuck in the middle of the war between Light and Darkness? Good times, man. It reminds me a bit of Sonic the Hedgehog haha. The first batch of Sonic games were blatantly just about environmentalism and the dangers of rapid industrialism. Then Sega said "Yeah, but what if it was about space gods and ancient prophecies instead?"

Thank you OBM, I've watched the walkthroughs and seen other's explanations, but this was actually one of the best explanations of the series I've seen.

I have been searching all day for a story video on KH3, and then this premiers! Thank you so much!

They spend the whole game tying up decades of loose plot threads only to hit you with the "haha jk here's the plot of the next six spinoffs"

omg, This story. Even the ending confused me and now I get what actually happened. I sort of understood why sora disappears at the end of the game while sitting with Kairi but wow. Thanks for clearing this crazy noodle soup up.

"Thank you for taking the time to listen to this recap, I hope it helped." Me, haven't played KH since KH1: ...wt actual f

So initially Replica Riku concept was cool. Now its almost like Riku is being printed out from a Office Depot.

I've come to understand the story of KH but now Nomura has created more questions than the ones he answered in KH3 lol. Who is the Master of Masters? What's Luxu's role in all this? Lastly, and most importantly, WHAT IS IN THAT GODDAMN BLACK BOX!? I want answers Nomura! XD

This video has literally made me want to re play everything, thank you for this video, Oni.

I wonder how the meeting of Nomura explaining the whole Rikus revelation went... Good gawd I'm dying

After watching this I need to rewatch the others in order. Work is going to fly by now. Thanks Bro!

please keep up these vids you are the only person that can explain stories the most entertaining and simple way

"Riku's replica ,Riku slams into Replica Riku's replica" That one sentence perfectly summarizes the complexity and sheer utter bull shit of the Kingdom hearts timeline

Final Fantasy 15 really was meant to be how Kingdom Hearts would be like or from how Nomura wanted it to be. It feels as though a part of what can be done and what appears in Kingdom Hearts does end up in FF15.

"...Sora fights back with his own army including -Dream Eaters- *REINCARNATED SOUL OF TORTURED YOUNG KEYBLADE WIELDERS WHOM DIED DURING THE KEYBLADE WAR I"*

It's crazy that the other day, I watched all your Kingdom Hearts RECAPitations in one sitting. And then, I just now noticed that you uploaded this video! Honestly, this helped me a lot. I couldn't get myself to play Kingdom Hearts 3 because something about the direction and gameplay it went in just turned me off... It was the first Kingdom Hearts game I put down but thanks to this, I might just pick it back up!

Is it just me, or this madlad on 29:30 just did a Gurren Lagann reference and right after it did a DMC one?

This must have been a ton of work. Thanks so much for this!

Awesome video! Its really well put together and concise. It would be awesome to see the other kingdom hearts game through this format. Youve earned yourself a new subscriber! Good work sir!

Thanks for taking on this task! I have waited so long for this!

Enjoyed this game a whole lot, as I do with the rest of the series. Best part was anything to do with Roxas, Lea/Axel and Xion. Complaint though is that I think there could've been more to allude to Xion return, rather than the character just being dropped in the final segment.

It’s honestly impressive that Sully managed to scare one of the 13 darknesses, THE, not Xehanort’s, 13 darknesses

Good to have you back, Oni.

36:14 I love the Yu-Gi-Oh here.

Bless you for recapping this batshit insane series lol

Sora is like the ultimate protagonist, when everything was lost he literally got a no the rest chance by learning that he can time travel, he really is broken. Best review I’ve seen so far by the way, thanks!!

'..versus Yozora waking up in another world....' I see what you did there. Honestly I tried to follow the whole last kh bit while playing as best as I could 🤣 but now I see how much I missed though... All in all I understood but did not make the "connections"

I think this is your best work yet, thank you.

Yo thank you this made the story make a lot more sense to me and while I loved it originally and loved the game I appreciate it more now after this video!! Can't wait for kh4!!!

Also, this feels a lot like Shenmue III. They have much deeper pockets, It didn't need any crowdsourcing, but it seems like they could have taken an opportunity to clean up all plot threads and give a proper resolution and decided to insert potential sequel storylines instead, along with further incoming confusion. But just like Shenmue, it was a game that was being looked forward to for years and years and years and instead of just giving people the conclusion that they would have preferred, they went this route.

Thank you...I think your channel and xygor gaming are the best channel on yt honestly

Thank you for this! I loved 1 & 2 but could not get through this game 😅

Well done sir, you are truly a gentleman and a scholar

Well this was much more coherent then what the game tried to present. Thank you.

this was so funny and I love you for it. these puns are just *chefs kiss*

so very happy this episode came out, this is like the persona series without the slice of life.

I never want to hear the word “replica” again lol

Haven't played any of these games since the first one and that was when I was a kid and seeing a lot of the places from the first game is giving me f****** crazy nostalgia

Been waiting for this!!! Thanks!!!

GREAT recap. Thank you soo much!

Thank you so much ! I played all the games and was a little confused

That Gurren Lagann reference was genius haha

My BOI ! You make my shift go by so fast!❤️❤️❤️

I always love the casual blatant humor in this

The story of Kingdom Hearts is delightfully bonkers and I love it XD

Love how I find this in my recommended right after finishing KH3 and diving into ReMind. The timing is impeccable lol

This was so needed. I don’t know how you even understand this story fully. I feel Kingdom Hearts plot line has gotten away from itself a bit so I’m hoping the next entries reign it in some

This video made the story so much better for me. Now I feel bad because Sora was used as a resolution to everyone else's story before him and he did it willingly.

I only got into kingdom hearts with birth by sleep and haven’t played the rest and almost beat 3 but I don’t think anything has made me feel this much emotion before

The thing that I really need to know is how will The world ends with you affect KH lore in this case by the final scene

Omfg, i missed your uploads man 😩🥺💖

The puns and references with absolutely zero inflection or nothing. Amazing

That yugi oh bit with Luxord was cool

Kaiba would be proud. 36:13

Perfect summary!

Awesome video

I didn’t realize how much the Disney/Pixar stories foreshadow the main plot.

Thanks for the recap. I just couldn't bring myself to play this game again. I've always loved the Kinddom Hearts' story and series mostly 😅 , but Kh3 gamplay and most of the story was a miss, so this video definitely made it more enjoyable.

I'd love to see some of the good guys do some time travel. In a perfect world, I'd actually have teleport all the Guardians of Light & the Twilight Town Gang to Scala Ad Caelum where they can all learn to use Keyblades.

I had just finished a Kingdom Hearts watch-a-thon of all the games (Including the X Back Cover [from 2.8 collection]) and you did a good job Are you gonna do a RECAPitation of Melody of Memories?

Recapitation for kingdom hearts? Alright, I’ll subscribe

This was very helpful

Your recaps GOLDEN

This was amazing

You are a brave one to dig in this convoluted mess.

35:14 Quite a mouthful XD Also a glimpse of an empty Replica!

“Heart of the cards” “dynamic entry” we love the references

Two words “THANK YOU!”

insane plot, love it

I absolutely love kingdom heart's but my lord the replica riku riku replica line encapsulates why I also hate it 😂😂😂

Those yu-gi-oh references on point my man

This popped up and I was like “Damn - 53 minutes!?” I’m bout to watch tho lol

Idk what is happening but this video is pretty good!

36:03 - I like how, when on screen, Mickey routinely gets his butt handed to him. Yet, when OFF screen, Mickey is super powerful and does some crazy stuff. EDIT: 38:00 - And THIS was probably the best scene in the entire game to me, complete with Roxas' music, which has got to be one of the most recognizable themes in the game. Just hearing the first 4 notes, you know what it is. There was one Medal in Union Cross that plays a super slow, super sad variant of the theme and starts with just those four notes almost feeling alone in the darkness. This one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bseGasZirJinpYU.html (or search "KHUX Soundtrack: HD Roxas Art EX Medal BGM (The Other Promise)" here on KZfaq if you distrust links. Another good one is: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z7KYlc6p09Gmkps.html) Though I'm trying to figure out...if Ventus and Roxas were TWO of the hearts in Sora, and Xion was NOT one...who is the third? 39:30 - I did love how Terra was the Guardian the whole time. That was a neat story beat/twist to me. 44:00 - I like how the GAMEPLAY part of the video ends here, yet there's still roughly 10 minutes left in the video. :D 53:12 - OOOOH, that must be the DLC stuff? I saw a brief overview of Melody of Memories, so this all makes more sense now. Sora and Kairi doing the "fix the past" routine (e.g. pushing Chirithy out for Ventus to see her) was kind of cool. I still don't get WHY Sora disappeared when he did and not before or after, though. It's also strange to me how the bad guys seem to understand fully what he's doing, how he's doing it, and the cost it will require. Though it's odd to me that he still has his Keyblade when fighting Yozora, implying that he hasn't truly lost all of his power, even if he has no real direct way to get home...

i loved the fact that they had all the user names of the people who played the mobile kingdom hearts game. when i saw my name i freaked lol.

What happened in KH3? Answer: whatever happens inside the minds of people who stare into the face of Cthulu.

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't waiting for this

36:13 Luxord activates his Trap Card...tells Sora that it's time to duel...through Sora's trust in the Heart of the Cards.... "SORA! IF YOU LOSE THE DUEL, YOU LOSE YOUR SOUL!"

Finally a recap that does not make the game intentionally complicated for non KH fans.

I screamed with the Yugioh references!🤣💖🤘💪

This was awesome. Loved the games but 32 and no time like the past to play or until I retire. Or when I get my steam deck

Nice job
