Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Fandub
Project Overview
As the title states, fandubbing the cutscenes from the KH Birth by Sleep game. After finishing with the dub of KH1 I decided to start this because BBS is one of my favourite games ever so here we go!
The fandub videos will be released as episodes.
The project is organized in a group on discord. If you don't have a discord, I'll be contacting you on here if you're cast.

Ventus has many similarities with Sora: he is sweet, cheerful, curious, and gets excited at anything new or interesting. He is voiced by Jesse McCartney.
Y'ever wonder what stars are? Where light comes from?
Trust me, you guys are ready. You're gonna clean up at the exam tomorrow.
All right! What did you mean about Terra being a different person?
Beneath Terra's calm and cool exterior hides his willingness to give his life for his friends, as well as his fear of defeat and desire for strength. This yearning therefore leads him to be constantly tempted by the darkness, similarly to Riku.
Here are Terra's battle quotes -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKOOe_Hc31c
That would be the last night we ever spent beneath the same stars.
The darkness... Where did it come from?
In your hand, take this key. And so long as you have the makings, then through this simple act of taking, its wielder you shall one day be made.
Aqua bears some similarities to Kairi and Sora, primarily in her sisterly affection for her closest friends, especially towards the younger Ventus. This is displayed by when she makes lucky charms for them, does everything in her power to protect Ventus (despite his apparent discouragement whenever she tells him to go home), her confidence that Terra will overcome the darkness, and when she strands herself in the Realm of Darkness in order to save him, an act which could potentially doom herself forever, showing she is incredibly selfless.

Oh yeah. Terra, you and I have our Mark of Mastery exams tomorrow. I made us good luck charms. Here!
A pure heart filled with light... It's strange, the Master taught me darkness needs to be destroyed. But how, if not with light?
Every waking is a new journey. Maybe Ven left...because it was his time.
Unlike Master Xehanort, Eraqus has a staunch and almost bigoted aversion to darkness and believes that it must be destroyed at all costs, a view that he has endeavored to ingrain into his apprentices.
Master Eraqus is originally voiced by Mark Hamill.
That power... Has the darkness taken you, Xehanort?
That was unexpected...but one must keep a still heart even in the most trying of circumstances. It was an excellent test, one I chose to let unfold. Which brings us to your next trial. Now, Terra and Aqua, the two of you will face each other in combat. Remember, there are no winners—only truths, for when equal powers clash, their nature is revealed. Begin!
No, you were right. I failed you, Terra. Perhaps I've no one to blame but myself for the darkness inside you. And now, I've done worse... raised my Keyblade against you and Ventus. My own heart is darkness!
Xehanort is shown to be a cunning, callous, and pragmatic being with the sole goal of merging with Kingdom Hearts and obtain ultimate knowledge, the lives of innocent people and even those who care for him meaning absolutely nothing to him.
Originally Xehanort was voiced by Leonard Nimoy.
Empty creature from Ventus riven...to you, the name Vanitas shall be given.
Yes... You are indeed strong. The darkness is nothing to fear. And yet...how frustrating that Eraqus refutes its power. Why, you could train with him forever and still...you'd never be a Master in his eyes.
Still so blind... Then I will make you see. Come to the place where all Keyblade wielders leave their mark on fate—the Keyblade Graveyard! There you will watch your dear Ventus and Aqua meet their ends, and the last light within you will die!
Perhaps he did speak, about imprisoning "the light"... "The light" could be so many things. Could he have meant Princess Aurora?
Someone has released Aurora's heart. Tell me, child, was it you?
A forest of thorns shall be your tomb... Wound 'round the castle in a bower of doom!
Now, Sora, let's close this door for good!
Donald, Goofy, thank you!
Don't worry. There will always be a door to the light!
So, you are Sora. Now then, have you seen the King yet?
Your past endeavors did prevent an immense effusion of Heartless from the great darkness..
Now then, that is all the information I can give to you. Go forth, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Everyone is waiting.
At bedtime, she told wonderful stories...
You mean, you're not here for our diamonds?
*Yawn*
She sang us purty songs...
*Sneeze*
Ya mean this stranger saw ya and set his horde of evil demons after ya?
You fussn't be mooled—uh, mustn't be fooled by him, princess.
A diamond thief! Take cover, ya fools!
Sounds like a tall tale to me! Go on, git!
Don't fall for it! Stay where ya are!
Spirit of the Mirror—come from the farthest space. Through wind and darkness I summon thee... Speak! Show me thy face.
Magic Mirror on the wall—who is the fairest one of all?
Why are you still here!? Go, swiftly, and bring me Snow White's heart.
Famed is thy beauty, Majesty, but hold—a lovely maid I see. Alas, she is more fair than thee.
Lips red as the rose, hair black as ebony, skin white as snow—
The heart of Snow White doth shine bright. Beware, my Queen, a heart of light.
Oh, why thank you, my pet. To tell the truth, I really don't know what I would have done without that. Haven't I seen that sword before?
Oh, yes, yes... That ruffian pointed one of those at me, asking about some "Xehanort"— My poor heart nearly stopped.
Now, Jaq, what's all the fuss about?
Oh, a new friend. Where is he?
Oh dear!
My name is Jaq.
Okay, Ven. Need something? Ask Jaq.
Yep, work, work, work! Stepmother keeps Cinderella busy all day!
Nonsense! If you'd lost all your faith, I couldn't be here, and here I am!
Oh, come now, dry those tears. You can't go to the ball looking like that.
Of course you are. But we have to hurry.
But who is she, Mother?
Well, the Prince certainly seems to! I've never seen her before.
Do we know her?
Cinderella!
Wait! There is something familiar about her..
Pay no attention to her. She's just an imaginative child.
You honor our humble home, m'lord. May I present my daughters, Drizella and Anastasia.
Guards! Guards! Ooh, where could they possibly be?
A perfect fit! I must inform the Prince immediately! You will come with me, of course.
Wait! Come back! Please come back!
My apologies. I was mistaken.
A glass slipper?
Are we glad to see you!
Just call him Ven!
If you go, we'll go with you!
Gawrsh, the King must be pretty far away by now...
Yen Sid, sir! We just got a clue as to where the King might be!
Just tell us where the King is, Mr. Yen Sid, sir...and me and Donald will go right there and save him!
I never thought I would meet you—outside of my dreams, that is.
Hmm? Oh, my name... Why, it's... Oh, oh no, I can't... Good-bye.
Don't you remember? We've met before.
To prevent me from breaking her evil curse. I was to meet the most beautiful girl at a cottage in the glen, but now my true love lies in an eternal slumber...and only I can break the spell.
Long ago, Maleficent cursed her. Now she's stolen her heart.
This must be Maleficent's doing.
Yes, not long ago. Dreams are very strong beliefs. Aurora's led her to her true love.
Oh... You don't seem bad, dear. I'm certain you have a pure heart, just like our precious Aurora.
That's impossible, dear. Maleficent's home is at the Forbidden Mountain. It's not safe.
Stop, you get away from her!
All right. Hurry, we can't stay here!
This castle—it's different somehow. And I can't find the princess or hear her beautiful voice. Was it all a dream?
Oh yes, we met once. It was a song that drew us together... Has something happened to the princess?
I must go to her! Where is she?
Yeah, thanks. Guess they were too much for me. I'm just gonna have to train harder. You're pretty tough—really handled those things. Are you here to enter the Games?
Uh-oh. Gotta go. The Coliseum's just up ahead. I hope I get to see you fight there sometime!
No, no. I'm mortal. When I was a baby, somebody stole me from my parents, and...figured out how to take away my godhood.
Herc, where are ya? Front and center right now, or I'm tackin' on another 1,000 laps!
Look, we've been through this... I got two words for you—student-teacher ratio!
Okay... Change of plans. The Games are comin' up. So, I'm gonna watch both of your matches...then I'll decide which of you rookies I wanna train.
Pardon me, comin' through. I'm gonna miss my match.
Thanks, Terra. I'm Zack. Yup. Definitely. Terra, you're exactly what I pictured a hero would be. Not the way you look... There's something else about you.
Hey, I've set my sights on being a hero, too. I just don't run as fast, that's all.
Shh! That old codfish... Looks like he's found himself a new flunky. I'll fly down and distract him. Men, you move in and nab the treasure!
Ten-shun! Now then, men. I don't suppose you'd wanna capture some real pirate treasure?
Tink, it's you! And you're all right!
Look, Pan! We got the chest!
Boy, you sure cut that monster down to size!
Hooray! We sure showed Hook this time!
Somebody help!
Ahoy! Look what we brought!
Uh, sorry, but...we losted all the treasures.
I picked you some flowers. Thank you for saving me.
My name's Kairi. Nice to meet you!
Could you tell me that story?
Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared. But small fragments of light survived...in the hearts of children. With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now. But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other. But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will open. And the true light will return. So, listen, child. Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be a light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you. Your heart will shine with its power and push the darkness away.
Oh, why can't I ever seem to remember this address exactly?
Just as I said it would happen, here's the third one! That book is almost more trouble than it's worth...
Say no more. The book you need to awaken the powers within you is just inside. Read to your heart's content, my dear.
Ach! How dare ye!? Back off, ye fiend! Ye'll not be gettin' my money!
Ach, what a well-mannered lass ye are. I'd be pleased as punch to help ye, if I can.
Hmm, I think I know just who you're talking about. He scampered off toward yon castle in a right hurry.
Young man, what ails you? Can you speak? Tell me your name.
Quickly, get him to the castle!
I forbid it! Forget this talk of doors, and the heart of all worlds. That place must not be defiled!
This heart belongs again to darkness. All worlds begin in darkness, and all so end. The heart is no different. Darkness sprouts within it. It grows, consumes it. Such is its nature. In the end, every heart returns to the darkness whence it came.
Your body submits, your heart succumbs— so why does your mind resist?
It's that old coot—he won't stop asking for you. I came all the way out here to get you just so he'd clam up.
Hmph. For a Keyblade Master, you're not very—what's the word?—good.
Oh, so this kiddo thinks he's a full-fledged Keyblade wielder? He's got the angry look down.
Xaldin's real self
We aren't aware of any visitors. Now run along home, boy, before the monsters get you.
Radiant Garden shall not fall under the likes of you.
Even is right. Lord and castle come first. The boy will have to fend for himself.
Now who do you think will defend the castle if you two go skipping off?
Never you worry about him. He's a special case.
Ienzo, where are you? Answer me. Ah, there you are. Didn't I warn you not to wander off, child?
Lexaeus's real self
The castle is presently closed.
They're here!
Stop!
Saix's true self
Lea, we don't have time for this.
From where I stood, the only thing you drew was a big L on your forehead for "Loser"..."Lame," "Laughable"...
Oh, you mean I was supposed to lie.
Axel's true self
Lighten up, Isa. It'll only take a sec.
Now this right here— Tada! Whaddaya think?
I want everybody I meet to remember me. Inside people's memories, I can live forever.
Hey, slow down! Would you just wait for me?
Oh! Ahoy! We're over here! Riku, race ya. First one to the boat gets to be captain! C'mon! You call that running?
Hey, what was that all about?
Too slow, Sora! See ya at the finish line!
Somebody up there must be sad.
Hmm... Maybe they just need you to open your heart and listen.
Oh, thank you. I feel quite better now. I'm sure I'll get along, somehow. But...I do need a place to sleep at night. Would you know anywhere I might?
Well, I was picking flowers by the wood, and there was a stranger there. He had a sword, but it was like a key—and then these monsters came and—
Ven...? Terra... Ah-koo, wah...
Fren-ship... Cir...cle?
Ah-koo, wah, fren... Terra... Ven.
Exactly. Everyone always get antsy in pantses when somebody more powerful is in the neighborhood. You understand, perhaps?
Amazing, is he not? Such tremendous power in such itty-bitty package. Truly, he is the one and that's the only—the mightiest creature in all of galaxy. And his only, singular instinct—to destroy everything he touches! See?
This role is open but a glitch states that it is closed.
An intruder!? All right, you. Don't get any funny ideas.
Hmph, don't let the little mimic fool you. You saw for yourself what kind of monster that thing is. All it knows how to do is hurt and destroy.
Sound the alert! Prisoners on the loose! Don't let them get away!
What is the meaning of this? Captain Gantu, did I not order you to apprehend the fugitives immediately?
Nor do we have time to. We are fortunate you are here, Aqua. Your assistance would be most welcome.
Enough! I observed everything on the monitor.
My cup's been washed!
She told us stories 'bout falling in love with the prince she met...
