* EurekaMoment: In the ''Kingdom Hearts'' episode, Brian creates a {{monomyth}} for ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' to predict the events of ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsIII''. However, even after accounting for the complexities introduced into the overall narrative by the subsequent games (to the point where he is forced to set ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'' aside), he still has no functioning formula by the 11-minute mark of the video. He then recalls his earlier references to [[BigBad Xehanort]] and realizes he overlooked said villain's side of the story, so he creates a second monomyth dedicated to Xehanort and uses it to work out what will happen in ''III'': [[spoiler:Xehanort will [[TheBadGuyWins successfully]] [[GrandTheftMe "nort" Sora]]]].

* TheHerosJourney: Analyzed in his ''Kingdom Hearts'' video. To break it down:
## Using the formula from Creator/ChirstopherVolger's seven-page Disney memo on the subject, Brian fits [[VideoGame/KingdomHearts1 the first game]] into a dodecagon of twelve defined steps: "Introduction in Ordinary World", "CallToAdventure", "RefusualOfTheCall", "Meeting with the Mentor", "Crossing the Threshold", "Tests, Allies, Enemies", "Reaching the Innermost Cave", "Enduring the Supreme Ordeal", "Seizing the Sword", "The Road Back", "Resurrection", and "Return with the Elixir".
## Brian adds an extra step representing ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsX'', "Historical Background". Since this doesn't really matter to Sora's journey, it's posted adjacent to the wheel, letting the history bleed into the journey.
## After Pat interrupts to bring up ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsBirthBySleep'', Brian creates the Ventus Diagram, which is three intersecting circles representing the hero journeys of Terra, Aqua, and Ventus. Since Ventus has the most bearing on Sora's journey among the three, his circle intersects with the main story wheel as step 0.5: "Baby's Heart Saves Another Hero".
## Brian now recontexualizes the monomyth to represent ''Kingdom Hearts'' as a whole, so steps 0.5 through 5 now represent the first game.
## Pat interrupts again, leading Brian to create a "Hero's Journey Redux" (representing ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsChainOfMemories'') and step 4.5 Remix (representing ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts358DaysOver2''). Because of how Xion factors into these games, they cross through the main story wheel twice via the "Hero's Memories of the Hero's Journey Double Cross Oblong".
## To illustrate Roxas' side of ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts2'', Brian creates "The Antihero's Cradle", which is a line adjacent to steps five through eight of the main story wheel.
## After Pet interrupts [[RuleOfThree for the third time]], Brian creates a data cube representing ''VideoGame/KingdomHeartsCoded'', adjacent to step 9 of the main story wheel. He also tries to place ''VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance'' next to step 9 as well, but realizing the game's DreamWalker premise makes things too convoluted, he just tosses it into the "Dream Drop Bucket".
## Finally realizing he neglected to look into Xehanort, Brian presents a tridecagon dedicated to the villain. The steps here are "Be Contacted By Future Version of Yourself", "Gain the Ability to Time Travel", "Learn About Great Power", "[[GrandTheftMe Nort a Boy]]", "Get Really Into Unethical Science", "Use Yourself As a Guinea Pig", "Create Two Versions of Yourself", "Nort Boy Redux", "Fail", "Develop an Organization to Trick Young Boy into Committing Heartless Genocide in Order to Create a New Pseudo Version of That Great Power", "Fail Again", "Just Do the 10th Step Again But This Time Fill the Organization with 13 Versions of Yourself", and "The Villain's Variable". Steps 2 and 12 are connected with each other, and step 13 leads back to the main story wheel between steps 9 and 10.



* KudzuPlot: The ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'' episode is BDG's attempt to use classical literary analysis methods (particularly the {{Monomyth}}) to un-complicate the infamously complicated plot of the ''Kingdom Hearts'' games. He fails.

** After taking a moment to try to place ''[[VideoGame/KingdomHearts3DDreamDropDistance Dream Drop Distance]]'' into the {{Monomyth}} of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', Brian [[CuttingTheKnot instead]] decides that it goes in the "Dream Drop Bucket" (a trash can), which is "where you put the Dream Drop Distance until you need it later, and hopefully you won't".
*** In a more subtle way, the numerous diversions BDG has to add to make the {{Monomyth}} theory fit ''Kingdom Hearts'' ends up being a demonstration of both the theory's flaws more than its strengths, and the flaws of ''Kingdom Hearts''' narrative as a whole.

** As a result of the time crunch, Brian and Adam had to take some liberties in regards to some of [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild the 78 recipes from]] ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaBreathOfTheWild'', so quality tended to vary at points, but there is no greater example of a dish going so completely awry than with the egg pudding, which due to time constraints [[EpicFail became scrambled eggs and sugar]]. [[MasochistsMeal They wisely decide to forgo trying it]]. Later, their attempt at fruitcake resulted in something that resembled ''a burger patty''.

* AluminumChristmasTrees: BDG is mostly just baffled at the description of Freeze Man's ability to divide temperatures into hot and cold to create clean energies. People in the comments section have pointed out that this method seems to be a reference to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon the real concept of Maxwell's Demon]].

** The idea of trying to explain and categorize every single story into the pattern of TheHerosJourney is pulled apart when Brian tries to use the concept to try and simplify the ''very'' complicated story of ''Franchise/KingdomHearts'', only to make the the Hero's Journey more complicated on it's own. Long story short: not every story fits into the Hero's Journey.
