- Notes -
"Forze Del Male" is one of the most iconic boss themes from the series. It is first played in KH1 against the infamous Ansem-Riku boss that roadblocked many players, and became associated with the constituent parts of the boss - going on to represent both Ansem and Riku's darker counterparts. It is a song that screams "evil".

It is played again in KH1 against Ansem, the solo battle in the Homecoming crater. I do see this as Ansem's theme primarily, as it crops up again in songs like "Forze dell'Oscurita" and "Forza Finale" to represent him as part of Xehanort. I'm not including those songs on this video because they also feature other themes so they need a dedicated video instead.

The 1.5 version is probably my favourite, but we also have an arrangement in KH3 by Yoshitaka Suzuki. This was used for the Dark Riku cutscene where he conjures up a giant Xehanort shadow (that should have been a boss) but was re-purposed and modified slightly to work as a boss theme for his data battle in ReMind's Limit Cut. This is what you hear in this video, but it does originate from base KH3 itself. The punchy brass start certainly left an impact upon first hearing it.

Then we have 2 other songs that take cues from Forze Del Male, most notably the intro. "The Force in You" also references the KH1 song in name; "Forces of Evil" being the translation. It is the theme of Riku Replica.

Lastly "Revenge of Chaos" is the music for the final boss of Reverse/Rebirth, against Ansem, or at least what remains of him inside of Riku, now given form via a card given to Riku by Ansem the Wise who was disgused as his former apprentice's heartless, Ansem (jeez).

Anyway, both of these songs can't hold a candle to Forze Del Male in my opinion. They're fine, I prefer Revenge of Chaos a bit more. they also have very short loops so I let each play out twice. I guess Revenge of Chaos is Ansem's most obscure but also most individual theme, huh. There'll be another video for his Destati-based tracks, alongside Dismiss etc.
