S6E27 – Let Him Die (Melody of Memory)

The current Kingdom Hearts ends here! We're talking about the Melody of Memory cutscenes, then the trailers for Missing Link and KH4. We get to see a lovingly rendered 3D Brain! Lucky us! Missing Link will truly be Game of the Year 2023. Anyway, thanks for listening to our podcast! We'll be back when more Kingdom Hearts exists or when we feel like talking about something else first. For now, feel free to (Re)connect (Kingdom Hearts) with us via the (Missing) links below!

S6E26 – Whoops! (Dark Road Part 4)

Ah jeez! Uh oh! It's the end of Dark Road, and the game started with a flash-forward to a cemetery, and that can only mean one thing: it's time for a bloodless bloodbath! If you've ever wondered why Xehanort and Eraqus seemed to be the only keyblade masters around in the Birth by Sleep times, well...! Let's all say goodbye to our dear friends. We hardly knew ye!

S6E25 – It's Not Violent When They're Little Cartoons (Dark Road Part 3)

After toggling their active quest, Xehanort and friends have apparently decided to go to Agrabah, and so has Eraqus I guess! We've got some irrelevant Jafar shenanigans to deal with and then the plot of Dark Road starts. Vidar and Baldr have been up to a lot of stuff offscreen (why does it feel like most of the plot of this game happened before the game started?) and we're going to hear about it. These mobile games sure love killing kids, huh?

S6E24 – I Need to Read an Edda (Dark Road Part 2)

Things in Dark Road are starting to start to get interesting, as we (now halfway through the game) get some characterization for Xehanort's friends and a whole lot of screen time for the Magic Mirror from Snow White. We also meet a few of the upperclassmen, one of whom is a total freak. Don't forget our Z-plot: will Urd marry the Beast from Beauty and the Beast?! No, obviously not!

S6E23 – A Bunch of Losers Run Around in Wonderland (Dark Road Part 1)

We're back in the chibi mines with Kingdom Hearts Union χ Dark Road, a mobile gacha game about what Xehanort and Eraqus were getting up to as teenagers when they weren't playing chess! We've got a new cast of characters with Norse mythology names, all of which will be pronounced incorrectly by us. Hermod, Bragi, Vor, Urd, and Baldr are their names. I'm spelling them out here mainly so nobody tries to have a laugh about "vore". None of these losers are especially well-defined at this point, but one thing is for sure: they do run around in Wonderland!
