Kingdom Hearts by Heart

Re:Coded FINALE! We close the proverbial decoded journal, but not without a proper sendoff! Crownies, world rankings, and Ultimania tidbits await! Join us as we look back before looking forward to the winding road ahead.

Links to Ultimania interviews:

Is this the most Agrabahstic of them all? Jafar turns Bridezilla and Genie joins the party in another data-filled adventure.

The coliseum returns, but not everything is quite as it seems. Stock up on potions and double check your ATB, cause it’s time to turn up!

Want to listen to us yap in person? We're hosting a live panel at this year's PAX East in Boston! Our panel will be Sunday, March 24th @ 2pm and we'll include a link for those interested below:

In which Flat Stanley, Tetris, and Loonatics Unleashed fanfiction converge at the nexus of destiny.

Join Marshall as we slowly prep for re:Coded and dive into the data... of the show that is.

BBS Finale! The Crownies return as we finally put this season to rest.

In which we read the deepest darkest thoughts of a wrinkly old man seeking a supple young body. Plus, Nomura plays spin doctor in the Ultimania interview!

Read the full interview here:

In which we throw a whole bunch of shiny new Keyblades in the trash and talk about bosses.

Is all hope lost, or will Aqua emerge triumphant? All roads lead to the exciting finale of Birth by Sleep!

The suspense continues to mount! Only one hero will be left standing by journey’s end…

We pick up where last week’s cliffhanger’s left off and hop aboard the Plot Express. Last stop: DEATH.

Does Neverland’s final flight reach new heights? Or is it time to hang up the ol’ hook?

Did somebody say ice cream? With a side of fruit and the smell of gasoline in the air? Maybe even the screams of terror coming from the inter-dimensional arena floating in the middle of space? That's right, it's the mini-game episode (and we guess it's in Disney Town too...)

Stitch shatters the multiverse while Terra, Ven, and Aqua hitchike across the galaxy. 

It’s Olympus Coliseum… again! Witness a hero’s origin and question the logistics of spacetime.

Tensions rise as hidden agendas brew and new friends appear… Will the trio make it out of Radiant Garden with their friendship in tact?

EVERYONE IS HERE! Plotlines converge as the Wayfinders disembark at Radiant Garden, the city of recurring happenstance.

The gang arrive late to the royal slumber party and play an extended game of Capture the Heart.

Terra and Aqua gate-crash the royal ball and still make up one-third of the guest list. Meanwhile, Ven is a tiny human.

It’s off to ‘cast we go. The Wayfinders take their (sort of) first step into the outside world into the Dwarf Woodlands. Terra and Aqua get trapped in an oil painting while Ventus disregards the adage “why don’t you pick on someone your own size.”

It’s throwback time! Suit up in your Keyblade Armor and grab your sticker books as we kick off our journey through Birth by Sleep. Terra, Aqua, and Ventus set out from the Land of Departure in their quest for the Holy Plot and the friends they’ll make along the way.

An extension of last week's Blank Points where Gino tries to make his way through the JRPG quiz, but every description is bad! Feel free to try yourself @ https://www.sporcle.com/games/groupkfold/jrpg-by-terrible-description

It's another Blank Points as we recharge our Keyblades for next season! This time, Marshall sits down with the infamous JRPG encyclopedia known as destinyDragonGino (DDG) for a reflection on the series as we bound further into the handheld era.

DAYS FINALE! As is tradition, we wrap up the season with a rousing round of Crownie awards! We’ll also touch on some Ultimania tidbits and give our closing thoughts on the game.

Full Nomura 358/2 Days Ultimania interview:

We’ve got some unfinished business to attend to this week. Join us as we tie up some loose ends with Mission Mode and the unlockable characters as well as the Secret Reports.

The clock is running out… join us as we finally approach the titular Day 358!

The time has come: Ruler of the Skies!!!! Will we make it through with our sanity still intact? Meanwhile, there’s something amiss in Halloween Town…

Things come to a head when Xion goes rogue. Whose side will Axel take? And will Hook ever find his treasure?

This week we grit our teeth as we prepare to confront the game’s SECOND most notorious boss. Also, we try to parse through one truly confusing cutscene.

Xion awakens! But Axel’s not sure how to feel about it. Meanwhile, Roxas sets soar in Neverland.

It’s hearts all around as we visit Wonderland for the first time and talk about Love with Xaldin.

Roxas faces the existential dread of (un)paid time off. Meanwhile, something’s bothering Xion...

Roxas says the thing! Then later, tune in for pulse-pounding pot-breaking action.

Roxas and Xion activate Beast Mode. Later, Lord Xemnas has a very exciting announcement to make that will be met with lukewarm applause.

Roxas has FEELINGS. Then Xion decides she isn’t getting enough attention so she runs away. Also, Beast’s Castle, roarrrrrr.

When one friend vanishes, another appears. Roxas shows the new kid the ropes before taking an extended sabbatical. Also, Agrabah’s back. Yay?

We’re baaaaaaack! Tune in to the inaugural episode of our 358/2 Days coverage, where we question what it means to be human and the unyielding dichotomy of salty yet sweet ice cream.

Prepare for another Kingdom Hearts 4 take! Watch the magic unfold as we stretch 2 minutes of footage into over an hour of content. Oh yeah, we also touch on Dark Road’s finale and Missing Link.
