10 Creepy/Unsettling Things in Kingdom Hearts 

Sounds a lot like real life...

The era leading up to the first keyblade war: an old world all connected The present era: a post apocalyptic restructuring of the universe Verum Rex: “isn’t that a real place in Tokyo”

So like the humans having the same war with the robots over & over in the matrix?

What's spooky is that it's hauntingly familiar...

@@benjaminlquinlan8702 Google "Tim Pool Will of the People" if you want to see another variation on this motif.

Was gonna say Cruella de Ville, but she wouldn't leave them there, 'specially not alive.

@@MegaSpideyman nah we all know it was Mickey Mouse haha

The creepiest thing is that they were able to survive there.

what???? context pls???

@@megadiabrous haha in kh1 you find some chests with 101 dalmatians to collect them all and get power ups

That is a horrible experience.

Agreed! And they retain their wounds and still feel pain from them, which would be extra horrible for those who died in more brutal ways like Vexen and Zexion

@@vtheory7531 And Marluxia and Demyx if you take the Manga into consideration in the manga Sora Literally stabs Marluxia in the face and Demyx,bruh don't get me started on Demyx's Manga Death that one was BRUTAL!... DX he got a bunch of Icicles stabbed all over his body imagine reliving that when you gain yer human body back.

In which game do you learn about that ?

@@hadriennostrenoff9135 KH3 and dream drop distance hint at it. Nomura flat out said it in an interview once

You mean Ursula's garden. If you remember from the film, they're merpeople who couldn't pay back their debt to her and were turned into polyps.

I was just about to post this

So effing true man.

Also was about to post it.

You're making it sound far more dramatic than just "a graveyard for a religious war."

I guess my point is, it's haunting, but let's not ham it up with the whole "children were LITERALLY FORCED to kill each other!!" Like, yeah, but war-ready empires don't have children... Just soldiers-in-training and future mothers. The concept of protecting a boy's innocence is only widespread in the USA and Europe, from the 1950's onward. Asian countries have mandatory military training, crime tears through the third world, etc.

I don't recall it being said that no one would remember Sora. In fact, in the scene where that is revealed, Leon literally states the opposite: "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other."

I just re-watched the scene🙈 you're right. My memory was a bit foggy

Despite remembering the cutscene incorrectly, CoM did make it so that the majority of people would forget about Sora while his memories were being repaired. That's why Kairi and Selphie don't remember him at the start of KH 2.

Now that’s what I call a bittersweet ending!

But.....but.......he promised!

Larxene in CoM was legit terrifying

She has no chill

@@BobbyTheGamerOfJUSTICE KH Chain of memories is a pretty dark game in itself yeah. Feels different, I would say more mature than other KH games.

Yeah baby! Good for him! Anyway, that is one of the reasons why I hate Larxene.

Vanitas was also in a similar boat. He originally didn't have a face either, until Ven's heart touched Sora's.

Yeah like a state of ever forgetting. Reminds of Alzheimers. Kinda unsettling.

I find it ironic, since it's basically the most innocent KH world

I remember it swept me in emptyness on windy rainy days

Whats more sad is that only 20% of people finished it witch means 80% of people left pooh to commit suicide

@@leenaalmoabed9924 LOL

They never explained that😯

@@alejandro-vr9gv Yeah, I agree. That's creepy when you think about it. Then again, after you defeat it, it disaperates into data and numbers. We can only assume that Ansem the Wise created Shadow Roxas as part of the simulation.

@@mauriciogarcia4795 good call, after seeing this comment about Shadow roxas , i checked youtube and the internet for answers and no one talks about it 😯

Actually it's another nobody in disguise like the other wonders makes me wonder if you guys were paying attention to the scene

There are two potential answers 1: Based off of info from Re:Coded, Tron's world, and Union X 2: Based off of the info of Nobodies developing their own hearts 1: Basically when Ansem the wise tries simulating hearts and even a world, he inevitably also simulates the darkness in those worlds and hearts. The shadow roxas you fight against is in fact data, as we see it disappear into 0-1's when you defeat it. The simulation has created artificial people, with artificial hearts, but the hearts their simulated from will have darkness in them, and thus the artificial hearts will have darkness too. And just like pureblood heartless in the real world, that are born from the darkness in these artificial hearts, the shadow Roxas you fight is darkness born in the form of data that was born from the copied hearts. However the darkness the shadow roxas represented does not just disappear when defeated/deleted and the darkness in those simulated hearts still exist and will create more pureblood heartless. Instead the pureblood defeated will release it's darkness which is then consumed by the purebloods that remain and becomes stronger and more real. Thus the shadow roxas you see afterwards is essentially a ghost in the machine created by a virus introduced into the system by the simulated hearts of people, it will keep popping back up no matter how much you destroy it, and you defeating it only makes it stronger and more dangerous. There is no easy solution for this darkness, and it will eventually consume the simulation world, with the only countermeasure of sealing off the entire data world and then deleting it/resetting. 2: Roxas as a nobody has been becoming his own person with his own heart over the course of days, and now at the end of his journey at the start of Kh2 he practically has his own heart, shown by the fact that he is capable of feeling real emotions as we see with his hatred of Diz. As such he is the only being in the simulated twilight town with his own complete heart, and thus his own darkness. The second shadow roxas is thus the pureblood heartless created from the darkness in the only heart in that entire world, having just found a suitable form to take after Roxas encounters the data shadow Roxas. Thus that is quite literally a manifestation of Roxas's darkness.

Yeah it gave me the same feel as when there was no music in mario galaxy after unlocking some stars. It freaks me out so much and in kh2 I was getting the jitters.

This. Personally roxas had the most weight in my opinion because it was like he was being forced to be a puppet against his will. Then we he gets his will he’s forced to fight his best friend THEN get his memory wiped again.

Unlike FF8 we didn’t get to see a glimpse of a faceless portrait of the protagonist!

I only just recently got into Kingdom Hearts but the glitchy images of Kairi during those moments genuinely unnerved me

God, I never realized that, but now that I think about it, that's fucking terrifying. Imagine if Nobodies wrapped themselves around living humans with hearts and took over like parasites, assuming their appearance and everything. Holy shit!

@@JoshtheOverlander yeeeeeup

Analog TV?

Its pretty subtle imho, I had to look up pictures of it and even then looked for it lol.

It's was very hard to see back in the day when TV's weren't so high quality. You had to have the brightness up pretty high to make it noticeable.

I like to think it's the second option considering how long Luxu lived for.

@@Vigriff its still a terrible fate though. Your body stolen by a stranger, and youre forced to watch this being use it against your will for his own purposes, and all you can do is watch helplessly

@@kanekikingstorm2113 I never said it was a good thing, just making the best possible guess.

@@Vigriff oh im not saying that you were. Its just how i structured the sentence. My apologies for the confusion. Makes you wonder how the master of masters is holding up

Oh so Luxu only possessed Xigbar in KH3? Braig wasn't Luxu?

That's Kingdom Hearts. The door is only the Door to Kingdom Hearts. Brought down into the darkest part of the Dark Realm and covered in Darkness with it's light still shining deep inside but unable to escape. Basically a Giant Heartless Allegory. I wonder what would happen if they were able to completely Free Kingdom Hearts from Darkness. It can be summoned but it'll soon after be dragged back down.

Absolutely.

That's what I was thinking. It's a nice attention to detail. Especially from the view of Aqua.

Gosh, that honestly scared me the first time I went there. It's all dark and you can't go back to the castle. No music plays. And it gets even scarier when you realize that's where one of the most overpowered superbosses is fought. I definitely just grabbed the treasure chests and left as soon as I could when that happened.

@@totalradlad The sound of the wind is pretty creepy 😰

@@venom2830 Definitely.

Emblem Heartless are even more Zombie like in function.

Kingdom Hearts has a real mad scientist almost oldschool horror vibe to it with all the human experimentation and monsters. Even creating Kingdom Hearts and the xblade felt like mad science. Its just mixed with disney magic. Its kind if amazing.

@@couchpotato3197 from what's happening in the Mobile game if you want to talk about Dark Science, Dark Magic, and Old School Horror apparently just like Light has an Origin Darkness has an Origin and The Darkness is essentially and Eldritch God without form, taking any form it wants making many versions of itself all at once to be everywhere and can possess others to achieve it's own ends. And the Master of Masters has declared War on it after it destroyed the Universe he originally came from and The Darkness has decided to play MoM's game and hunt him down and destroy his plans to kill the Darkness permanently. It is like Moby Dick but if it was written by HP Lovecraft and adapted by Disney.

@@meteornome2556 But Nobodies are more zombie-like when it comes to how they're created (reanimated corpses of people who have lost their hearts).

@@OzzyNe0n and their ghostly appearance and dead colors just add to it.

I've only read the days manga so far but it was really cool, that might actually be a fun idea to look into them 🤔 I'll probably do a Deep Deep Exploration on TWTNW in the future!

@@NovayonKH Would love you to do 1 on End of the World and KH's Hollow Bastion, too.

@@NovayonKH their was always something disturbing about that world to me and as more information about the Worlds and how Heartless work gets revealed the more sadness I feel for that place. Some world's are closer to the Realm of Darkness and in those World Heartless run wild and are almost impossible to be controlled. When Worlds reformed after the war the people are the last things to be restored and until then Heartless roam their world's unimpeded. When they are reformed no one even recognizes that anything changed and continue with their lives. The World that Never was is close to the Realm of Darkness, every couple steps you get chased by Heartless, Nobodies make it their home and their are areas that look rough. Crashed cars, collapsed buildings, broken bridges. I can only imagine what happened when the people finally returned only to have the full force of the Dark Realm brought down on them just because of how close their world happened to be to it.

I haven't read it, but I heard there's a scene where Demyx trips on funny mushrooms in Wonderland, and that makes me smile every time

It’s basically a biopunk version of the Halberd from Kirby. Pretty crazy stuff.

Oh maybe, I haven't played the game so I just had the cutscenes and that picture to go off

DONA- oh wait wrong party member, GOOFY!!!!!

@@keeganlafferty1395 The fact you knew that was Goofy specially tells me you've made the Ultima Weapon

@@williamjackson8782 well actually I was initially going to yell at Donald for no reason but then I realized that was a Goofy line, but yeah, who hasn't made Ultima in a mainline KH game?

@Dillon Howington shame

*CRAWLING IN MY SKIIIIIIIIIIIN*

@@masterseal0418 THESE WOUNDS THEY WILL NOT HEALLLLLL

If you study adrenochrome and pizzagate you will see that Mickey/Disney is part of it. Or you can call me stupid for the next 30 years lol until you "accidentally found out I was right all along

Nomura once said in an interview that the series is actually NOT for kids.

Yep. Destati, although spooky, is pretty badass when you’re on Aurora and Belle’s hearts.

also i always found it creepy in CoM when Aerith held Sora back and told him ‘But i’m not really me. I don’t remember the things I should. And I sense things I shouldn’t. Sora, beware your memories.’

What's unit 731

Its about human experimentations

warning dont look it up

@@thetronwarriors4817 Some things are better left unsaid....

@@thetronwarriors4817 Quite possibly the most heinous of all the war crimes committed in WW2, and it’s something the Japanese government denies to this day. The researchers responsible were secretly granted immunity by the US in exchange for the data they gathered from their human experimentation, similar to Project Paperclip, and that’s a pretty dark stain on our history as well.

Happy you mentioned the demogorgon from stranger things

Press F to pay respects
