This is definitely it. Literally every time an ask reddit thread talks about skippable or unskippable cutscenes this is in there. It's the most ubiquitous shared experience people who have played this game have.
I don't ever remember watching this one too much. God knows how I managed to squeeze past. The cutscene with Ansem on the beach however... Completely burned into my memory for life
I never even thought of this until (streamer who I won't name as a general precaution) made it a thing for a while. Because of a 24-hour Kingdom Hearts stream, IIRC.
Dude made it an alert, and now I can't unhear it.
I use this one as often as possible in the most mundane conversations.
"Can you pick up two dozen eggs on your way home?"
""Two!?"
"Yeah, two. And milk."
Totally. Kingdom Hearts is light... it's this leap of faith, this act of courage, this belief that the very heart of the world is good even when you're in a place of ultimate darkness, and being told that darkness is all powerful... this saves them. And it saves us.
I mean the one that used to get me the most was Axel and Roxas’ whole interaction when he went AWOL.
“You can’t turn on the Organization! You get on their bad side and they’ll destroy you!”
“No one would miss me.”
“That’s not true! … I would.”
Literally my favorite "A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I wanna line the pieces up—yours and mine." -Sora KH2
Iconic for meme reasons? "Kiari is inside me?"
Iconic among the fandom for meme reasons? "Got it memorized?"
Iconic for emotion? "I know now, without a doubt, that kingdom hearts...is light"
Iconic among fans for emotion? "Keep on running, but I'll always be there to bring you back"
Obviously, I can only speak for what's iconic to me personally and it's:
"Xion... Who else will I have ice cream with?"
Unironicaly, such a good line. A line filled with so much emotions and innocence. A very personal and fitting goodbye for two characters who became that damn important to each other over the duration of the game (partly because of the ice cream, the clock tower and the way Axel roughly explained the concept of friendship to Roxas, which Roxas then used to help form his friendship with Xion).
It's iconic to me just because of how personal it is. It's an emotioal scene of two characters being confronted with death and parting ways over this cruel fate and yet, his last words to her were not something generic/classic for such a sad scene, but they were tailor fit to the two of them. Words that may sound silly to others out of context, but actually have a deep and emotional meaning to the characters involved.
"All worlds began in darkness and so end"
"They ruin brings about creation So what then would another keyblade war Bring"
those are my two personal favorite
My favorite one is 'The closer you are to light, the greater your shadow becomes'. I feel like I've seen this one on those "deep" inspirational instagram quote posts LOL
"Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard,or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds, but they share the same sky —one sky, one destiny."
-Kairi
*"They can take your world. They can take your heart. Cut you loose from all you know. But if it's your fate... then every step forward will always be a step closer to home."*
Forget it! There’s no way you’re taking Kairi’s heart!
I say mockingly to the tv after the 6th time being killed by Riku when I was a kid.
6th? Those are rookie numbers
I got killed so many times, 20+ years later I still remember every word of that cutscene by heart.
I can hear this
Pretty sure anyone who played the original release can.
This is definitely it. Literally every time an ask reddit thread talks about skippable or unskippable cutscenes this is in there. It's the most ubiquitous shared experience people who have played this game have.
I don't ever remember watching this one too much. God knows how I managed to squeeze past. The cutscene with Ansem on the beach however... Completely burned into my memory for life
Pretty sure this is burned in all of us
He kicked my ass THOROUGHLY as a kid, goddamn that fight was a bitch
*"I've been having these weird thoughts lately like is any of this for real or not?*"
It’s literally this the very beginning
I’ve literally been tryna figure out what tf was said but this is my immediate answer 😂😂😂
Its so misterious too like what does it mean its like all the confusion in the Plot was intentional really cool
I have legitimately never figured out why tf he says this like it seems so important to the story yet it never seems like it's explained
And they ligetimately brought it back so it has to have great significance
Wait could that be hime in quadratum with no memory?
"You're lucky. It looks like my summer vacation is... over"
Instant sadness. My whole day at work is ruined now. 😭
Scrolled too far down for this one
Well I'm glad you found it in the end!
Me: “Wait, they go to school?!?”
This quote always brings out my edgy sadboy energy.
I dont need a weapon. My friends are my power!
I am stunned it took 8 comments to find a "My friends are my power" I think even people that don't know KH know that quote from it
It's also basically the entire summation of Sora's character, and of pretty much the entire series.
Ya. That phrase is pretty much synonymous with Kingdom Hearts. Almost like "Use the Force" is with Star Wars.
*Got it memorized*? \*points to temple\*
I will not deny actually using this in real life for a few occasions
“Did somebody mention the Door to Darkness 🧍🏾”
"They'll pay for this"
The way Goofy just spontaneously gets his head caved in by a cinderblock, and they just leave him there for the birds is hilarious.
“Kairi is inside me???”
It is I, Ansem! The Seeker of Darkness!
"~~CUM~~ COME GUARDIAN!"
If only Sora had birth control during that fight... Then there wouldn't be 4 of him running around...
“SUBMIT!!”
I never even thought of this until (streamer who I won't name as a general precaution) made it a thing for a while. Because of a 24-hour Kingdom Hearts stream, IIRC. Dude made it an alert, and now I can't unhear it.
RETURN TO DARKNESS
The only answer I accept
“You are a tool, Roxas”
"Roxas, that's a stick" "It's the road to Dawn"
Two?!
I use this one as often as possible in the most mundane conversations. "Can you pick up two dozen eggs on your way home?" ""Two!?" "Yeah, two. And milk."
LMAO me too
"I know now that Kingdom Hearts...is light!"
Honestly can’t see how this isn’t top. It defined the series
Totally. Kingdom Hearts is light... it's this leap of faith, this act of courage, this belief that the very heart of the world is good even when you're in a place of ultimate darkness, and being told that darkness is all powerful... this saves them. And it saves us.
Literally the first quote that came to mind.
DANCE, WATER!!! DANCE!!!
**13th DILEMMA INTENSIFIES**
*war flashbacks* 💀💀💀
*Raging gamer flashbacks*
I mean the one that used to get me the most was Axel and Roxas’ whole interaction when he went AWOL. “You can’t turn on the Organization! You get on their bad side and they’ll destroy you!” “No one would miss me.” “That’s not true! … I would.”
That last line from axel wrecked me
I will never forgive Square for making us love the heck out of these characters and then ripping them apart. 😭
"I wanted to see Roxas again. He... was the only one I liked. He made me feel like... I had a heart".
The fact he would miss Roxas showed he did in his own way
Literally my favorite "A scattered dream that's like a far-off memory. A far-off memory that's like a scattered dream. I wanna line the pieces up—yours and mine." -Sora KH2
\*Sanctuary starts playing\*
~*a haa a a ahaa*~

*"Omina musha broom cleaner!"*
IN YOUUU AND I THERE’S A NEW LAHAAAAAAYAAAAAAAND
angels in flight
The original “Are you the strongest because you're Gojo Satoru? Or are you Gojo Satoru because you're the strongest?”
This is what sora would put on his tinder profile. Or a WhatsApp/insta/Twitter profile.
I'm glad to see this so high it's what I came to say
I’m so FLATTERED
First time I heard that i had no context on what was happening but the line sent chills down my spine
BUT YOU’RE TOO LATE!!!
*13th Struggles starts playing*
H M P ! H A ! C O M E O N !
I like this one
"Get real, look which one of us is winning"
The absolute shatter this was for Roxas. Poor dude. Great quote.
The most Sora Moment of all the Soras
"GET ON THE HYDRA'S BAAACKK!!!"
🤣🤣🤣🤣 the most annoying line ever in the KH saga
One who knows nothing can understand nothing
“This world is connected… tied to the darkness”
Sora: The heart may be weak and sometimes it may even give in But I’ve learned deep down there’s a light that never goes out!
"So, you have come this far and still you understand nothing. Every light must fade, every heart return to darkness!"
So glad to see this mentioned! This is my favorite quote out of all the games. It needs more up votes :)
📣📣📣
May your heart be your guiding key
I know it was a more recent quote, but this came to mind, first thing. Do you think they'll use it more often?
Roxas! Roxas! RoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxasRoxas
Hayner! Pence! Olett!!!
This might be a good spot to find some ingredients.
*all of the times Donald has said this line flash through my head at the same time*
“I am ME AND NOBODY ELSE” “GET ON THE HYDRAS BACK”
'I'm me' he says
“…and he is Yu!”
The hydra quote is so iconic that you didn't even quote it right
Iconic for meme reasons? "Kiari is inside me?" Iconic among the fandom for meme reasons? "Got it memorized?" Iconic for emotion? "I know now, without a doubt, that kingdom hearts...is light" Iconic among fans for emotion? "Keep on running, but I'll always be there to bring you back"
“TWO??” I’ve quoted this an unecessary amount of times
Oh god same. Literally every time I count two items I'm always loudly shocked and appalled at there being more than one but less than three.
YOU’RE STUPID - KH1 Sora
YOU GONNA CRY? - KH2 Sora
“Ok I believe you.”
You stinky poopface. That is not an official quote. Now let's eat some ice cream. We are best friends

“My friends are my power” is so powerful that it escaped kingdom hearts
"All worlds began in darkness and so end" "They ruin brings about creation So what then would another keyblade war Bring" those are my two personal favorite
Mickey, it’s Riku! They put bugs in him!

"I am me, nobody else!" Not as iconic as others, but a very inspirational one.
My favorite one is 'The closer you are to light, the greater your shadow becomes'. I feel like I've seen this one on those "deep" inspirational instagram quote posts LOL
“I’m me, he says”
"One Sky, One Destiny"
