KH Fact 666: Soras weapon is actually a key mixed with a sword 😮
July 29, 2021 @ 1:45 am
“Yo wuzgwinawn gayze!”
Don’t lie. You read it in his voice.
July 29, 2021 @ 1:48 am
Awesome
July 29, 2021 @ 1:54 am
You should react to, “what if kingdom hearts was released 10 years earlier”, by regular pat.
July 29, 2021 @ 1:54 am
i believe in sora-with-earring(s) supremacy
July 29, 2021 @ 1:56 am
I’m going to have to get this book for myself! I’ve let Ansem submit me into this notion!
Edit: I did indeed order a copy from Amazon!
July 29, 2021 @ 2:00 am
See the Keyhole thing is why people didn’t catch on the hint that Riku is a Keyblade wielder because for most of the game, the Keyhole show itself to everyone. Sora, Donald, Goofy, Tarzan, Jane, Triton, Ariel, Sebastian, Maleficent, Jafar, Genie… the cutscene is hint-y enough by design, but because the other Keyholes show up to everyone, players I’ve seen just think… oh so that’s where the Island keyhole is located… not that Riku can see it being special.
July 29, 2021 @ 2:02 am
Its always nice to learn something new bout something that u been playing since childhood
July 29, 2021 @ 2:03 am
Dude tell me where to find that beautiful version of the world that never was castle…it was beautiful to listen to while listening on the facts you were talking about
July 29, 2021 @ 2:07 am
“His hair is lighter because Sora is rejoined to his body…” oh shut up XD so how come his hair remains the same color when Roxas and Ventus are out
July 29, 2021 @ 2:11 am
The thing at the top of Young Xehanort’s Keyblade looks rather similar to the Goat etching on the No Name… Perhaps a connection to Luxu and the Player character from Union χ?
July 29, 2021 @ 2:14 am
So there’s no chance for Terra and Terra to meet with each other ? …
July 29, 2021 @ 2:14 am
Me: *should sleep*
Jared: *uploads*
Me: sleeps overrated anyway
But 8:52 I’ve been wondering who this was for 20 damn years, Mysterious King Mickey confirmed
July 29, 2021 @ 2:19 am
7:44 so Waka is 6 years older in their actual games but 1 or 2 years older in kingdom hearts? Huh?
July 29, 2021 @ 2:21 am
Where to buy?
July 29, 2021 @ 2:23 am
9k5s6
vum.fyi
July 29, 2021 @ 2:30 am
I thought the keyhole in Destiny Islands was a beta thing accidentaly left in wtf
July 29, 2021 @ 2:31 am
If wakka is 23 while tidus is 17 in ffx then if tides is 14 in kh, then wanna must be 20. Jared your math is bunk!🤣🤣
July 29, 2021 @ 2:41 am
Okay so if Keyblade wielders are the only ones who can see/reveal the keyholes…how did King Triton know about it? And where it can be found?
July 29, 2021 @ 2:52 am
So Lea isn’t the only one with friends. Isa, you can rest easy, cuz u got a friend in u
July 29, 2021 @ 3:04 am
I like how the video is 13 minutes and you have Roxas as the thumbnail 😆
July 29, 2021 @ 3:26 am
Oh. OH. Nobodies only exist, if others observe and accept that they’re there. They don’t have hearts, so they need to live in others memories and hearts to tie themselves to reality, or they disappear. That makes a lot of sense, actually.
July 29, 2021 @ 3:36 am
I just learned a bunch more little specific things about KH that I never exactly knew of before bcos they were never rlly stated in the games themselves wow thx Jared, and I’ve been a fan for so long now
July 29, 2021 @ 3:46 am
MY BOI KINGDOM HEARTS 3 CAME OUT 2 AND A HALF YEARS AGO, WHERE ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE GAME?!?!
July 29, 2021 @ 3:55 am
You didn’t mention that the jerks at Dark horse list Deep Jungle in the world guide but it’s entry is non existent (it does exist in the Japanese edit). A visual guide on past games doesn’t constitute a new form of media so they should’ve had the page removed because of the copyright issue held by the estate of the author. They added deep jungle in the kh1 strategy guide with full artwork and render models of tarzan so why wouldn’t they allow the same for this?
July 29, 2021 @ 4:30 am
I would’ve loved Rikku in KH1 but Yuffie was still good lol
July 29, 2021 @ 4:34 am
Okay, this is cool and all, but we still don’t have an answer what the hell is wrong with Sora’s shoes in KH1
July 29, 2021 @ 4:37 am
It would have been cool if the lion-human sora hybrid design would have been sora’s kingdom hearts 3 monstropolis design. I still like what we got but would have been a nice little callback
July 29, 2021 @ 4:45 am
You should do predictions for the future of the franchise/ story. I think that’d be an interesting subject to touch on!
July 29, 2021 @ 4:52 am
The random tarzan music on background xD
July 29, 2021 @ 4:58 am
Fun fact:
Sora is THE most powerful FF protagonist as he is low outerverse level
Second is lightning from FF13 as she is low complex multiverse level
And third is cloud strife who is universe level ~ multiverse level.
July 29, 2021 @ 5:01 am
Never would have thought that Mickey was the voice in the beginning!
July 29, 2021 @ 5:09 am
8:54 wasnt this already confirmed in the mangas that its mickey?
July 29, 2021 @ 5:27 am
I always got the vibe Riku was terras backup plan
July 29, 2021 @ 5:40 am
12:15 I always thought that it was Chernabog atop No Name as a call back to the scariest Boss Fight in KH1
July 29, 2021 @ 5:44 am
more videos to the ultimania pls 🤍
good to have you back on the regular bases bro
July 29, 2021 @ 5:53 am
Wakka on the Island baby sitting the kids, but actually just throwing his ball at them.
July 29, 2021 @ 6:07 am
Ironic how they didn’t add Rikku to KH1 because of names when the series ended up having 13 Xehanorts some of which share the name Xehanorts, 2 versions of Sora, 2 versions of Roxas, 2 people named Ansem and Riku looking like a 3rd Ansem, and 2 Terras
July 29, 2021 @ 6:19 am
That voice you don’t hear at the very start of KH1… I always thought it was Ansem for some odd reason.
After KH2, I thought it was Roxas talking to him.
Years later I thought it was Ventus actually talking to him.
Now today after many many years I now find out that it’s actually King Mickey… wow… thank you Jared 👏
July 29, 2021 @ 6:33 am
If sora isnt a keyblade master then no one in that game is a keyblade master. They nerf sora every game so every side character can catch up🤣and then they pulled the bs saying riku became a master before sora
July 29, 2021 @ 6:53 am
You should do more of these, maybe even cover the whole ultimania
July 29, 2021 @ 7:04 am
I love my copy of this Ultimania! It’s beautiful! Never knew it came out in Japan years ago tho it makes sense!
July 29, 2021 @ 7:09 am
We know that you don’t need to be an official master to bequeath a keyblade…. we know Sora has the strength needed to pull it off…. we know that Sora and Roxas have the same abilities… and we know that a bequeathment can happen accidentally (Aqua and Kairi). Lets put all of that together with the “Roxas, that’s a stick.” scene from 358/2 Days.
Even if the keyblade Xion primarily uses now is still a sham brought on by her replica powers and having absorbed Roxas’s powers… we can say that it is still possible for her to get a genuine keyblade all her own that is just as valid as anyone else’s… as all the pieces have been put in place.
(Also, technically Jack Sparrow can also get one but I feel like the keyblade may not consider him worthy so his odds are less likely)
July 29, 2021 @ 7:21 am
Hey Cynical. As an active WoW player, what are your thoughts on the current Blizzard situation? Are you going to switch over to FFXIV, seeing as how youre already a huge square fan?
July 29, 2021 @ 7:35 am
I just ordered this!
July 29, 2021 @ 7:48 am
Fact 10 Nomura likes ingredients
July 29, 2021 @ 8:14 am
The one about KH2 Sora and Riku w/ the blindfold just blew my mind reading them
July 29, 2021 @ 8:35 am
Puberty hit the KH crew like a damn truck
July 29, 2021 @ 8:41 am
I actually noticed that Vanitas and Young Xehanort’s keyblade don’t have names because of the collectibles in Melody of Memory.
July 29, 2021 @ 8:44 am
Love that you’re using Deep Jungle music.
July 29, 2021 @ 8:58 am
Finally i wonna get this now…- but on an money hiatus for another but food for this rest of the year….damn xD
July 29, 2021 @ 9:03 am
Pog
July 29, 2021 @ 9:12 am
Sora’s hair was already lighter in KH2 when the pod opened, right BEFORE Roxas merged with Sora.
July 29, 2021 @ 9:23 am
Please do another video on this!
July 29, 2021 @ 9:24 am
I love interesting facts plus I want to hear more and theories for kingdom hearts 4 ideas
July 29, 2021 @ 9:48 am
Pretty sure Xehanort made Terra master.
July 29, 2021 @ 10:01 am
I need to get this book. lol
July 29, 2021 @ 11:09 am
You can not convince me that Sora’s KH2 hair was planned to be lighter. There’s no way that it wasn’t just an oversight that they missed and said fuck it and threw some shitty explanation in.
July 29, 2021 @ 11:16 am
Dammit! I want this book so bad! But, I don’t have £32 to spare. I’m a broke ass bitch. The moment I have the money to spare, I’m heading straight to Amazon.
July 29, 2021 @ 11:31 am
A group of nobodies is called an Organization
July 29, 2021 @ 11:56 am
Didn’t know that the blindfold was to “deceive his heart”. I though it was somewhat of a limiter, because he pulls it out once (admittedly, from only one eye) in order to see Xion’s face in Days. Also didn’t know about Young Riku being able to see Keyholes, although it makes sense in retrospect.
The rest of the info eventually found its way in the West. Plus, Xehanort’s gesture at the end of KH3 made Sora a Master.
July 29, 2021 @ 12:16 pm
Had a horrible day with work felt so tired, but this really picked me up thank you man. Kingdom Hearts forever!
July 29, 2021 @ 12:33 pm
As you said Nobody’s dissolve into darkness if their not in groups, but after KH3 Demyx remained a nobody, seemingly the only nobody….
and it has been a year and no one has seen him.
Unless Dusks and dancers count.
July 29, 2021 @ 12:40 pm
good video buddy 🙂
July 29, 2021 @ 1:14 pm
So is it actually worth buying? I love KH but it is slightly expensive and heavy… What do you think?
July 29, 2021 @ 1:26 pm
I’ve missed you posting my guy
July 29, 2021 @ 1:26 pm
Wait so if tidus is 17 and wakka 23 that means they’re 5-6 years apart on the low end because they’re from the same game so if tidus is around 14 in kh1 that means tidus is at least 19 (going into 20) maybe 18 if we make tidus the same age as selphie (which they are just in different games)
July 29, 2021 @ 2:29 pm
So kairi should also be able to see destiny island’s keyhole since aqua made her a keyblad weilder right? So sora’s two best friends would tell him about that giant keyhole and he would be like ok so i might be blind
July 29, 2021 @ 2:36 pm
Terra the keyblade master!!! 😀
July 29, 2021 @ 3:25 pm
Where can I buy the Ultramania from I must know?
July 29, 2021 @ 3:36 pm
For the keyblade master one, didn’t Sora technically take Kairi’s heart out of his own and transfer it to her body? I’m not saying that he was the level of a keyblade master in KH1 but it’s kinda interesting.
July 29, 2021 @ 4:19 pm
I think that all this information is very interesting.
July 29, 2021 @ 5:23 pm
Does that mean Kairi saw the Keyhole, since she was accidentally Bequeathed a Keyblade by Aqua around the same time as Riku?
Okay, now that we know any “Master-Level” Keyblade wielder can Bequeath a Keyblade to someone, when would Sora and others qualify as “Master-Level”? Riku would probably be at the end of Dream Drop Distance, at the same time as his official recognition. But would Sora have qualified at the end of KH2? (Probably.) Would he have been un-qualified at the beginning of KH3 due to being reset to Level 1 (again)? Would he have qualified when he let Captain Jack hold the Keyblade before summoning it back? Well, he would certainly be qualified now; he defeated Master Xehanort himself and was given the X-blade, meaning he is probably an official Master. No takesie-backsies this time.
I probably guessed that Young Xehanort’s Keyblade wasn’t actually called No Name. But I was surprised that Vanitas’ Keyblade was not called Void Gear. But, of course, Nomura decided to still be coy and not give it an actual name.
July 29, 2021 @ 8:09 pm
I think Sora not being able to see the Destiny Islands keyhole is now considered a continuity error as Sora technically went through some kind of bequeathing by Ventus at the age of 4.
July 29, 2021 @ 8:28 pm
Cynical you are on the grind!! Love to see it dude thank you for all the KH videos
July 29, 2021 @ 9:56 pm
I still like to think that even if a wielder has the mastery to bequeath, it’s still up the keyblade to determine the person’s worthiness of being bequeathed with he ability to wield. I just always liked that the keyblade ultimately determines one’s worthiness.
July 29, 2021 @ 10:06 pm
I need to go buy one RIGHT NOW!
July 29, 2021 @ 11:33 pm
the bequeathing bit: i wonder if it’s the keyblade itself that determines whether its owner is a master or not. the mark of mastery is just a test to see if a wielder’s keyblade could be of that level, but as it is a human who grades the wielder, it’s not always accurate
July 29, 2021 @ 11:35 pm
kinda suprised i figured some of these out myself like the sora hair thing ii totally noticed the hair color change and i thought it was from roxas really hyped to see if they release more ultimanias
July 30, 2021 @ 1:39 am
Kairi would have seen the keyhole on destiny islands to since aqua bequeathed kairi before that
July 30, 2021 @ 3:52 am
It’d make far more sense for Ventus to be speaking to Sora. Mickey wouldn’t even know who Sora was, especially since Riku was originally supposed to get the Kingdom Key. Mickey somehow speaking to Sora in his dreams makes as much sense as Mickey talking to Kairi, Tidus, Wakka, or Selphie in their dreams/heart
July 30, 2021 @ 3:55 am
I bought the book but haven’t looked deep into it lol
July 30, 2021 @ 4:35 am
I thought the voice in the first game would become a completely new character but nope, it’s Mickey
July 30, 2021 @ 8:26 am
Lea got a keyblade through getting his ass whooped with one
July 30, 2021 @ 11:18 am
cynical i fckin love u my guy
July 30, 2021 @ 11:32 am
How can I buy this ultiminia 😭
July 30, 2021 @ 12:43 pm
What if Sora could also key the keyholes due to his heart being the refuge place for Ventus and also the mending his heart thus becoming sort of one.
July 30, 2021 @ 2:06 pm
4:50 So does that technically make Heartless ghosts and Nobodies zombies?
July 30, 2021 @ 7:09 pm
I’m surprised you didn’t know about Rikku, she was always intended to be in the first Kingdom Hearts but they didn’t want to confuse players by having two characters called Riku so they swapped her out for Yuffie, who is a similar character with a similar design
July 30, 2021 @ 10:59 pm
i feel like having the guiding advice in sora’s dive to heart would’ve been ephemer and it would’ve been a cool link from khux to kh. Cuz at some point ephemer is within sora’s heart too but when did that happen?
July 31, 2021 @ 1:40 pm
Wow this was so Interesting
August 1, 2021 @ 1:30 am
All I hear is that Jack Sparrow won’t inherit a keyblade after all… shame
August 1, 2021 @ 1:51 am
You know Sora does wear ear piercings the the games as an accessory equipment wise. We just don’t see them applied. But imagine if we did
August 1, 2021 @ 11:06 am
Why I hate Kingdom Hearts 3 is because the total lack of Final Fantasy characters. Wasn’t that like 50% of the franchise’s original appeal?!
August 1, 2021 @ 2:55 pm
The part about Mickey speaking to Sora has been confirmed for, like, a while. Way before this particular Ultimania came out. It’s also hinted at a handful of times in KH1, KH1 Final Mix with the extra scenes, and even in BBS 0.2.
What I really like about the Ultimania is that it explains that Terranort and Xion were hearts from the past. Terranort being the past heart placed in Terras reformed body and Xion being her heart from before she became friends with Roxas and Axel.
Another thing was that when Xion regained her heart, it was because she could absorb abilities from Sora, since that was her main use in Days. But when Sora called her name in 3, that was apparently Roxas through Sora calling to her. I found that neat reading the Japanese version.
August 1, 2021 @ 4:36 pm
Are you still doing fan mail?
