this cutscene is all OVER the place just . like. look at this
i normally don't watch it bc the part with saïx is like awkward and uncomfortable but anyways just.
- sora donald and goofy chase and catch up with the king
- the king is confronting xemnas (maybe)
- "That's not my name uwu"
- sora asks about kairi and riku
- xemnas says he doesn't know where kairi is (telling us that either he's lying or he doesn't know about the kidnapping) and to ask the king about riku
- sora looks at the king, who says stop and starts running at xemnas
- sora jumps ever so slightly when mickey says stop
- mickey jumps into the dark corridor after Xemnas (and for once makes it in; maybe he knows how quick those things close up sometimes)
- as usual, sd&g aren't fast enough and are left looking at the shrinking corridor.
- sora hits the ground in frustration
- goofy comforts him
- donald says "sora, goofy" because....?
- THEN donald says "wak?!" and the camera shows the view of the castle for like 30 seconds
- ok i counted, it's 8 seconds
- anyway, goofy says "what's goin' on?"
- NOTHING. NOTHING IS HAPPENING
- "way to fall right into their trap"
- GASP! An ominous black-coated redhead leaning against the wall!!!!
- run towards him. . . and ready your weapons.
- axel: oh come on i am so tired of this really. are you really gonna fight me. ughghgh i can't believe i have to deal with this
- blah blah blah it was a set-up (?)
- "it's a set-up by organization xiii" like. . ok and we trust YOU because...?
- "Xemnus is using you to destroy the heartless. That's his big master plan."
- long pause.....
- "Xemnas?"
- (whoops silly me i guess we didn't know who he was yet? or is don don just being stupid?)
- "The guy you just saw. He's their leader. [-- O-our leader.]"
- then axel decides to SPELL IT OUT instead of giving us some ACTUAL ADVICE
- /helpful intell
- /like for instance wheRE IS MY BFF??
- /or maybe WHERE IS YOUR HIDEOUT SO I CAN BEAT THE TAR OUTTA YOU GUYS?
- /no. just X-E-M, N-A-S
- got it memorized?
- (also just as he starts to spell, he looks up like he's remembering how to spell XD)
- the look of dawning realization on sora's face at 2:19
- goofy makes a reasonable deduction based on the information given to him
- "man you're slow"
- axel points at like. . . the ground? sora's shoes?
- oh, he was pointing at the keyblade
- (spoiler alert he was not)
- (look at the trajectory of his finger)
- (maybe it is high enough to be pointing at the keyblade, but even so, it's to sora's left)
- (spoiler alert he's right-handed)
- i can't mimic a gesture in writing so look at axel as he says "that is what the organization is after" i promise you won't be disappointed
- you might be disappointed
- then goofy ducks back behind his shield as if that was a death threat
- "so what are those guys gonna do with the hearts?" asks donald duck in a casual conversational tone of voice
- "I'm n⁰⁺ telling"
- "tell us!!!"
- "You... you're the one who kidnapped Kairi!" (you deduced this... how?) (You..... you're the one who killed my jammy wammy!!!!")
- "bingo" said aggressively
- "where is Kairi?"
- "[uhhhhmmm you see the thing isss.ighorigoir she dead]"
- "Please.. just tell me!"
- Axel puts his hands on his hips and leans back like he's not looking forward to saying the next part "[ughhhhh"
- "Look, about Kairi. . . "
- Then he leans forward, looking mildly upset w sora for asking or something
- "I'm sorry"
- but like, not "i'm sorry" like, the way he says it is "Dude, I'm sorry but you are way too old to be sleeping with a nightlight" (pb, in 5 more short graybles or even more 5 short graybles)
- "Axel!"
- Axel puts his hands out and crouches a little and looks to the side like someone who just got caught
- (which he is)
- a corridor apparates between sora&co and Axel, and Saïx appears in it
- "Uhoh"
- then Axel looks REALLY MAD
- as he opens his own corridor to escape
- Sora tries to run to Axel but is blocked by Saïx
- Saïx assures sora that "We'll ensure he receives the maximum punishment."
- although it isn't mentioned what FOR
- 👀 👀 👀
- the last of the corridor disappears
- Sora whines "I don't care about any of that😡"
- "just let me into the realm of darkness, okay?" said like a true emu
- (it's bugging me that it thinks "apparates" is spelled wrong so I looked it up:
)
whoOP i lost my mojo seeya
Oh well dOn'T WOrry abOuT KAiRi we'Re tAkiNG VErY gOod caRe of hEr
look at sora as he says "take me to 'er"
-
"Is, she that important to youu?"
"Yeah"
"Show me. how important." starts off cheerful and then like gets deeper
sora stands for a minute
then he gets on his hands and knees and says please while donald and goofy jump (bcos he didn't even bow to the multiple kings, princesses, and gods we've met) (Ok, he bowed to aladdin but that was like one time and all friendsy-wiendsy goodnatured; and he bowed to the queen I think, but that was only cuz donald pulled him down)
"Oh, well in that case.. No"
the look of absolute disgust in his eyes here
Sora jumps to his feet
fast enough to make a woosh sound
"You rotten!"
Here's the part where Saïx becomes a counselor...
SOMEHOW HE SNAPS BETTER THAN ME EVEN WITH GLOVES ON
"Pitiful heartless. Mindlessly collecting hearts. And yet they know not. The true power of what they hold." Dude, they're RIGHT there.
Oh, you think my keyblade's angry? Shows what you know
You know, we could just kill him right now, but he's giving exposition so we can't
Oh, uh-huh, the hearts are gonna weave together to make kingdom hearts you say. But I thought kingdom hearts was that place that ansem found in the first game? [spoiler alert there's multiple kingdom heartses and ways to get kingdom hearts]
"when that time comes, we can truly, finally exist" buddy you had your chance. ten years ago, you couldn't help yourself from breaking into the castle, and somehow you got roped into becoming a heartless & nobody. Out of no choice but your own. You could've "truly existed" and you chose not to.
but i'm also going to argue that you are RIGHT HERE, EXISTING
just say what you mean, that you wanna be able to feel sad again.
bcos your life is SAD
it may have been decent before, but now ur grown up and also ur bff is gone
and also your new bff is an evil apocalypse-chaser
so, tough luck
Oh. Here comes someone new. forgot you existed for a minute there, maleficent
oh kingdom hearts belongs to her now
"The heart of all kingdoms, the heart of all that lives." here's our definition, we're all done here
"A dominion fit to be called kingdom hearts must be fit to be MY dominion!!"
get it she's saying dominion and she comes from Enchanted Dominion?
haha
It's Funny
"Maleficent, no! No more Heartless!" sora says desperately
but you wouldn't know it if you couldn't hear him because he is doing his GENERAL TALKING ANIMATION
"I do not take orders from you!" Great job, sora, now she's gonna do it just to defy you
Saix just stands there as five small fry apparate surrounding him
"Fool.."
^ Me
THERE HE GOES SNAPPING AGAIN
let's get some lesser nobodies in here to defend me from these Small Fry™
ONE HIT KILL?
SORA IS RIGHTFULLY SHOCKED
I CAN'T DO THAT
GEEZUMS
the dusks all turn and look at him
"Oh no!" he says and blocks his face
but NOT WITH THE KEYBLADE, NOOOOOO
which is how we can tell that they're not going to attack; because if they were, he would've blocked with the keyblade (source: when he blocks sabor; when he blocks roxas;)
Maleficent is protecting us now . i . guess
oh.
no, she's just blocking us at the edge of a cliff.
by flames
oh
Oh, that sounds great! You keep the nobodies occupied, so WE can go figure out a way to permanently get rid of them, so YOU can in turn take over the worlds with the Heartless! Good plan, villain!
"Maleficent..." Sora, you sound so SAD
SHE'S SO WEAK
THE DUSKS DOGPILED ON HER AND SHE DIDN'T EVEN TRY TO GET RID OF THEM
"Maleficent!!" oh we care about her now?
"Leave! Now."
AhahahahahHAHAHAHHAHA
he says "I don't take orders from you!"
ahahahhhahahahhah get it?! XD XD
he starts to run towards her {recall, there is a wall of green fire between them} and donald grabs his arm to stop him
and he gets pulled down a little bit
it's so good i'm gonna gif it
(later)
"But-- What about--"
there's a veritable pile of nobodies and the fire is dying down, it's safe to say she's dead (thank goodness
ANOTHER SNAP, STOP DOIN THAT DUDE
sora says huh, but the h doesn't come until like partway through the u
and the non-small fry heartless return!
suddenly there's more than were summoned, more types than were summoned, and surrounding sora & co much more quickly than possible
"Which side are you guys on anyway?"
it's what we're all thinking
"The heartless ally with whoever's the strongest" just like the keyblade
unless the heartless care about physical strength
in which case i just took 10 power ups and y'all are MY army now
(but it can't be strength of heart, bcos 1 they'd eat the heart and 2 the nobodies have no hearts [well, not very much anyway. certainly not stronger than MINE.])
also he says "ally" like "a lie"
ONE HIT KILL BY ME THIS TIME?????
WHEN DID I START DOIN THAT?
I'LL TELL YOU IT WASN'T ANYTIME IN THE RECENT PAST OR FUTURE
not on this breed anyway
Saix gets distracted for a moment by the shiny hearts
"Yes, sora."
"extract more hearts." there's an exclamation mark at the end, but he sure doesn't say it with one
ope, goodbye
as the hearts go up into the sky they get all darkness cloudy; are they becoming new heartless?
donald and goofy are backing up and then sora jUMPS backward to land RIGHT BEHIND THEM
not the best planning
"No. the hearts!" sora says wistfully before swiftly blocking an enormous heartless sword
time for a matter-of-fact existential crisis on a black screen!!!!!
"Maybe everything we've done... Maybe it was all for nothing. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
now we get more panicked!
"What am I supposed to do if I can't use the keyblade?!"
dude, the same thing you usually do when you can't use the keyblade:
- wooden sword
- friends
- magic
- HAND TO HAND COMBAT
- (aka anti-form?)
- maybe find a real sword somewhere?
- or use one of the extra shields or staffs?
- I know you have some
"Imbeciles!"
(hey you're not allowed in my existential screen!!)
"Youu can't be trusted to do anything!"
"Huh?"
Yeah, huh indeed; how did maleficent get in your mind?
oh nice we got a Secret Ansem's Report
I killed a bug. I was in the bathroom, and I grabbed my book and then there was A BUG ON MY HAND AAA so I shook it violently, and then I shook my whole body (to make sure it hadn't landed on my pants or something) and then I lifted up my feet and looked at the ground for like a minute and I couldn't find him and I put on my glasses and then I saw him -- in the bucket of gray water. He swam to the side (he was a surprisingly good swimmer???) and struggled to get out and then fell back in, and I thought I'm not having him get out of there and live. So I got the closest bottle of soap and squirted some in there!!!
Then he was able to get a hold on the side and so I nudged the bucket with my foot so the water sloshed up and caught him, and he sank like a rock. ^.^ You're welcome.
RECORDBREAKINGLY ONLY TOOK TWO DAYS!!
I DIDN'T ABANDON IT
AAH
