Synopsis

Long ago, in the "age of fairy tales," the world's light is protected by seven individuals who reside in Daybreak Town and wield unique weapons called "Keyblades": the Master of Masters and his six apprentices. A devastating conflict has been foreseen, and the world's end is imminent. In order to heal it, the Master of Masters gives his disciples unique roles and instructs them to form Unions comprised of other Keyblade wielders. Soon afterwards, the Master vanishes.

There's no review for this movie? Why you might ask, well maybe because you as a Kingdom Hearts fan, and I especially, was not expecting this to even be on MAL.

But well lets dive in.

You won't probably like this if you're not a Kingdom Hearts fan. Even if you're just a casual Kingdom Hearts fan, you probably won't find this as interesting until more installments come out for the series. It just doesn't hold a large amount of substance to it.

Story wise, this story takes place before the keyblade war, and leading up to the keyblade war which is important in the ...

Mixed Feelings
Those who don't play Kingdom Hearts but have a vague knowledge of the games know that the lore for the games is infamously convoluted. This OVA is no different. At the very least, it's not outsider-friendly.

For those who don't know, this OVA was based on some key moments from the mobile game "Kingdom Hearts X Dark Roads". There's a lot of context that's missed in this OVA.

It exists as a tease about stuff that kinda relates to kingdom hearts 3 but doesn't give any more information than was found in KH3. Honestly don't wast your time with it, just read a summary on a wiki if you want to know what ...
