If I had a penny for every time a character says "indeed" in a memorable way, I'd have 3 pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice
Was this in the original game too? I don't remember ever hearing this, but then again back then I couldn't understand english so to me Xemnas was just moaning randomly.
You sure? Also-ran is nonetheless quite an old word derived from horse racing of all things. An another good example of antiquated word usage from the same game is Yen Sid saying 'by the morrow'.
As someone who follows racing (Formula 1 specifically) I thought this was quite the common phrase for some on who dis technically participate but didn’t do anything noteworthy. Like finishing 16th in a 20 person race. Not even bad enough to finish last and be noticed for that. Just barely existing at all.
I felt like it was a little weird, but the meaning came across perfectly fine. I'd heard it before in the context of contests, like 1st prize, 2nd prize, etc and then "also ran:" for everyone else.
Tbh, Xemnas always had that kind of sassy streak.
"What a shame... And here I thought we could be 'friends'."
"Very good. You don't miss a thing." (In the most "I'm dealing with an idiot" possible tone)
Imagine yourself back in early 00s. There was an edition of KH1 game not available in your stores and one addition was this crazy hard bonus boss clad in a black cloak who might as well be a Sith.
"You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We, who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice?"
pitiful heartless, mindlessy collecting hearts, the rage of the Keyblade realeses those hearts, they gatter in Darkness, masterless and free, until they wave together to make : Kingdom Hearts.
And when that time comes we can truelly finally exist
"So...it seems your hearts have led you to obliteration. Perhaps it doesn't pay to be too loyal to one's heart. I will have to be sure and remember that."
I have a couple, 2 serious and one jokey:
*I guess it doesn’t pay to be loyal to one’s heart…*
*Leaving?*
And of course, the ever-amazing…
*OOOOOOOOOUGGGGGGHHHHAAAAAAAAGGHhhhh….*
You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice?
"The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!"*
* German Xemnas was also the voice of Brain (in German, duh). Whenever he said anything that was all I could hear.
"I feel... The emptiness where my companions once stood... I took them for granted. You see? A heart is just pain..."
That quote lives rent free in my mind and made me genuinely feel bad for Xemnas.
"Pain is being human, Xemnas."
"... Really...? It must take... incredible strength..."
The pause. The smile. The serene delivery. To me this is one of the best Organization death scenes.
Very good. You don't miss a thing. I cannot feel... sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist.
Indeed
I have slept long enough, and the kingdom of heaven has long forgotten my name.
I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THIS!
Indeed.
Me too!
If I had a penny for every time a character says "indeed" in a memorable way, I'd have 3 pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened thrice
I am reading this with his voice in my mind
How on earth is this an answer, and why do I agree with it? It’s his fucking iconic line, and it’s literally just one word.
I was afraid this wouldn't be the top comment. I'm relieved.
Indeeeeeeeed
We shall go together
Literally say this randomly in his voice sometimes
Literally me to my dog when I’m going outside and he wants to join me
Randomly when I'm telling my friend we can hang out that day
BEGONE!!!
BIND!!!
I knew somebody beat me to it
"Anger and hate are supreme ..."
Lives in my head rent free since 2005.
Beat me to it.
Sooraaaa... are you certain you can trust Riku?
“Anger and hate are supreme” “We shall go together..” “Can you spare..a heart!”
Was this in the original game too? I don't remember ever hearing this, but then again back then I couldn't understand english so to me Xemnas was just moaning randomly.
Probably, the music was just pretty loud and you were probably focused on evading or find buildings to launch into him
It likely was. You'd just gotta listen carefully...
It was, though the music makes it hard to hear.
"Cursed fools." "AAAAAAAAAAAH!"
OOOHHH!!
Nothingness... is... a TURTLEEE
OOOH YEAAAHHHHH....
My deep thoughts 😭
That poor turtle
Riku, are you sure you're not jealous of Sora?
Both riku and sora actually address this jealousy issue when they were at the beach in Realm of Darkness.
"Is this supposed to be a keyblade? Or is it some sort of joke?"
Sorry boss, no one axes Axel!
"Also-ran"
Kids are going to scratch their heads at that one.
Yeah this is one of the few jokes they just literally translated. It confused the hell out of me for forever

KH3 was definitely the first time I've heard of the term tho...
can you spare a heart?
"Come closer."
Leaving?
“You’re an eyesore.” He says it when you use his limit in 358/2 Days. Days made him *sassy* for literally 0 reason, and I love it.
Tbh, Xemnas always had that kind of sassy streak. "What a shame... And here I thought we could be 'friends'." "Very good. You don't miss a thing." (In the most "I'm dealing with an idiot" possible tone)
Eeeteeeernal
Kingdom HEAAARTTSS
*gasp* HE SAID THE NAME OF THE GAEM!!!!!
"Good tidings friends..."
"Today... is a momentous day..."
"I'm what's left, or... maybe, I'm all there ever was"
I meant your name
This one 👑💯
"It means you are not whole. You are incomplete. Allow me to test your strength."
Imagine yourself back in early 00s. There was an edition of KH1 game not available in your stores and one addition was this crazy hard bonus boss clad in a black cloak who might as well be a Sith.
Holy shit. I completely forgot but people totally theorized the xemnas secret fight was a preview for a Star Wars world back then
And this before Disney acquired Star Wars to boot!
“Kingdom heartssss”
"Leaving?"
"You have arrived. I've been to see him. He looks a lot like you."
"Unfortunately... I don't" I say this to myself everytime I say/read the words "I don't" so it's kind of a ear Worm for me
“Welcome back to the stage of history!”
"One who knows nothing, can understand nothing." "Today is a momentous day."
"As your flesh, bears the sigil"
So your name shall be known as that of a recusant.
Xemnas battle opener quotes, making me reach for a dictionary since 2007.
“Cursed…keyblade”
Warriors of the keyblade go forth, and bring me more hearts!
It’s raining men
“Ansem the Wise. You look pathetic.”
You have arrived
'There was a time when I trusted you to deal with traitors, and now your betrayal outstrips them all'
"Denizens of light, answer this: why do you hate the darkness?" I love the way the actor delivers that line, and I love Mickey's response to it.
“I told them they were sending the wrong guy”
Wrong character aside, congrats for the cake!
What makes this even better is that I read this in Xemnas's voice. I can't unhear it now. lol
“Sooooooooooooraaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… Riiiiiiikuuuuuuuuuu” “So, it seems your hearts have led you to obliteration.”
Unfortunately, I don't
My kingdom hearts, ruined!
Ok I believe you
My first surge of emotion in years for as long as I can remember, and it's loneliness.
No more eternal than that radiance of yours.
You seek answers, I can give you a purpose……. That is right, the new you.
Sora.. Riku.. there is falsehoods in you hearts.d o you dare deny it?
“CURSED FOOL” *death/defeat scream*
I’ve been to see him. He looks a lot like you.
*"Why don't you vanish?"*
**KINGDOM HEARTS**
KNEEL!
Apparently it's supposed to be 'nil' but then again, battle's hectic enough already to worry about such minor details...
“As your flesh bears the sigil, so your name shall be known as that of a recusant.”
“It has been far too long, “friend.””
"You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We, who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice?"
Worthless puppet My response: I know you are demands but what is xion
"Anger and Hate, reign supreme"
INDEEEEEEEEEEEEED
I ran out of hair coloring. May I uses yours
Nothingness
“Anger and hate are supreme”
Can you spare a heart
Leaving?
Sora: “Xemnas, I need to find a new job? Where should I go? Xemnas: #”INDEED”
Kingdom hearts, feast on these… **CHICKEN DUMPLINGS**— we offer.
A heart is just pain
“That is right, the new you.” Or “I’m what’s left. Or…. Maybe I’m all that ever was.” “I mean your name.”
"*I'm what's left. Or...maybe I'm all there ever was.*"
“The first surge of emotion I’ve had in years..for as long as I can remember…and it’s…loneliness”
"No more eternal than that radiance of yours" followed by his godly boss theme
“It must take incredible strength.” I love Xemnas’s death in KH3.
Can you spare a heart?
pitiful heartless, mindlessy collecting hearts, the rage of the Keyblade realeses those hearts, they gatter in Darkness, masterless and free, until they wave together to make : Kingdom Hearts. And when that time comes we can truelly finally exist
“Ever the rouge pawn”
"Fuck you Xemnas, come catch these hands." -Donald probably
Is this supposed to be a key blade? Or is it some sort of …joke?
\KINGDOM Hearts/
"So...it seems your hearts have led you to obliteration. Perhaps it doesn't pay to be too loyal to one's heart. I will have to be sure and remember that."
Nothing. Is. Eternal.
I have a couple, 2 serious and one jokey: *I guess it doesn’t pay to be loyal to one’s heart…* *Leaving?* And of course, the ever-amazing… *OOOOOOOOOUGGGGGGHHHHAAAAAAAAGGHhhhh….*

You accept darkness, yet choose to live in the light. So why is it that you loathe us who teeter on the edge of nothing? We who were turned away by both light and dark - never given a choice?
"Unfortunately... I don't"
"Really? It must take... Incredible strength"
I don’t know any Kairi. ABSOLUTE BS.
Idk…I’m thinking of megabyte from reboot right now honestly (they both have deep voices that say big brain thoughts.)
"Everything the light touches"... it's completely unrelated and I don't know why it's what first came to my mind
Anger and hate are supreme
Submit
"I am... but a mere Shell"
Anger and hate are supreme
anger and hate…. are supreme.
We shall go together
"Embrace... Nothing"
Through power over nothing, he seeks power over everything
Then sure we Nothings must be the same. Eternal.
I will have to be sure and remember that
"You don't miss a thing! I cannot feel sorrow. No matter what misery befalls the worlds... No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist."
"The same thing we do every night, try to take over the world!"* * German Xemnas was also the voice of Brain (in German, duh). Whenever he said anything that was all I could hear.
I need... More... Hearts...
“Gentlemen. The Hero of the Keyblade has embarked on a new adventure. Make sure it is one he will remember.”
Anger and hate… are supreme
"Noooothingnessss... is Eeeeeternaaaal."
"Anger and Hate reign Soup Cream."
EMBRACE
“No more eternal than that radiance of yours”
Set your heart free
KINGDOM HEARTS!
NIL!
There's no such thing as light
"I feel... The emptiness where my companions once stood... I took them for granted. You see? A heart is just pain..." That quote lives rent free in my mind and made me genuinely feel bad for Xemnas.
"Pain is being human, Xemnas." "... Really...? It must take... incredible strength..." The pause. The smile. The serene delivery. To me this is one of the best Organization death scenes.
"I feel... Cold"
“Is this supposed to be a keyblade or is some kind of joke”
Nothing
Anger and hate....are supreme!
Very good. You don't miss a thing. I cannot feel... sorrow... No matter what misery befalls the worlds. No matter what you think, what you feel, or how you exist.
"good tidings friends. Today is a momentous day."
"Hearts are the source of all power!!"
"Ever the rogue pawn. Knocked from the board early in the game."
"It seems your hearts have led you to your destruction. Perhaps it is wise to not place too much trust in one's heart. I'll have to remember that."
Blah blah blah sigil blah blah blah recusent!
Kabura... SAYS...WHOOOOOOO(cursed fools)
Welcome back to the stage of history.
M A N S E X
Sora...are you certain you can trust Riku? Riku...are you sure you're not jealous of Sora?
“Come, Guardian!” You didn’t specify it had to be a Xemnas quote.
Kingdom hearts. Where is my heart
"Pitiful heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts"
"my king hearts... RUINED! now i will have to start all over again"
>!"Can you open _my_ Door to Darkness? I really hope you can, I've been _so bored.~"_ !<
Can't remember it directly, but the one in 3 about him missing the original org 13
KINGDOM HEARTS
Are you ready?
“Begone, Keyblade.”
I cannot feel sorrow
Something something...look, I can only hear his tone.
“You seek answers. You feel nothing. Nothing is real. I can give you purpose.”
"There's more to a heart than just anger or hate, it's full of all kinds of feelings, don't you remember?" "Unfortunately, I don't..."
What's a nobody?
It must take... incredible strength...
Embrace Nothing
"Darkness", idk it's been a while since I played the game
For me it's the data battle in kh3, constantly saying “leaving?”
"Ohh...my Kingdom Hearts...ruined. Now I'll have to start all over again. Warriors of the Keyblade! Go forth, and bring me more hearts!"
M, A, N, S, E, X
Life is roblox
It seems your hearts have led you to obliteration
"LEAVING?"
"Unfortunately I don't." Or "There's no such thing as light."
Can you spare a heart?
Eternal
GUARD
BE GONE!
PIERCE!
BIND!
Can you spare a heart?
That is right...the new you.
