YMMV / DEATH BATTLE! S05E05 - Sora VS Pit

• Hilarious in Hindsight: Several elements of the fight take a hit of this as of Kingdom Hearts III.
  • The fight takes place in Olympus Coliseum. Olympus lacks a Coliseum in III.
  • The ability of Keychains to change the weapon's form is brought up, including Oathkeeper by name, but Sora only uses his Kingdom Key. III introduces Formchanges, which go full Morph Weapon - but neither the Kingdom Key nor Oathkeeper has a Formchange that actually alters the weapon he uses.
  • Boomstick bemoans that Sora can't use his Drive Forms without party members (with a popup pointing out that the exception is just a gameplay mechanic to use his old moves). Formchanges take the place of Drive Forms in III, and yes, Sora can use all of these ones regardless of party.
  • Pit is getting nowhere at ground level, so he knocks Sora into the sky, only for Sora to triumph anyways. In the Re+Mind DLC scenario, Xehanort's replicas do the same thing to the Guardians of Light, and are defeated nonetheless.
  • At one point in the fight, Sora uses a pseudo-Dark Aura attack (several rushing thrusts followed by an overhead blow). The final fight of III has Sora, forced into his Rage Form by Master Xehanort, do the same thing.
  • Sora finishes off Pit with a beam of light from his Keyblade. Although he used a similar attack on the tail end of his fight against Xemnas in II, that didn't end the battle, only left him helpless for a finisher of the player's choice. Master Xehanort, however, does get finished with the beam he's hit by in III, as do his combined replicas in Re+Mind.
  • Pit's fighting style in the match draws a lot of inspiration from his Smash Bros. moveset, and the fight ends with Sora using the Keyblade's locking/unlocking beam of light. Years later, Sora would be revealed as a DLC character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, and his Final Smash similarly utilizes that function of the Keyblade.
