"None of this... makes sense to me". Well, I'm not surprised that even the game characters gave up. That sentence literally sums up this whole episode. Completing the Limit Cut (defeating all of the Organization XIII Data) unlocks this Secret Episode.
I already said before how this DLC made Kingdom Hearts 3 a better game, putting it on an extremely high level. Gameplay wise, we are finally able to exploit everything the game offers us, and we're actually forced to make a good use of Sora's full kit, something that the Dark Inferno alone didn't manage to do. 

So, what about this Secret Boss? Well... I don't think there could be anyone else just as cool as he is. The music? The location? The character's way of talking and fighting? The whole dark and sad mood? They're a perfect mix. They managed to make an incredibly satisfying secret boss, but not only that, they actually made it even fun. Once you learn the right timing, avoiding Yozora's attacks and attacking him when wide open gives a great feel of satisfaction. You know, the same nice feeling of actually damaging a boss who seemed untouchable on a first glance.

I had high expectations for the Secret Boss of Kingdom Hearts 3. I wanted it to be deadly, fearsome, but at the same time extremely cool and fascinating. I even called it was Yozora (seemed pretty obvious from the DLC trailer) and I'm glad to realize that most of my hopes, both story and gameplay wise, have been greatly satisfied.
As for the Data battles, this fight was recorded pretty quickly on Proud Mode (although it took me a lot of tries) so I didn't have the time to study Yozora's second phase and understand a proper way to block/avoid all of those crazy attacks. 
The first part of the battle was pretty manageable. Whenever I made a mistake, I was able to take the control again fairly quicker than expected. But of course, I plan on taking him on again on Critical and upload it later on.

And the ending? Well... I'm just going to say this: Nomura, YOU SLY FOX! After all this time, you just didn't want to lose your precious boy, did you?! And don't you dare to say again that "Yozora has nothing to do with another game I was developing in the past". C'mon now.
But who am I to judge? Just make good use of him. Oh and stop hurting Sora now that I'm at it.
