#KH:MoM

[raezingart]

Hello! This blog has been dead for literal years, but with other social media sites going crazy I’ve missed this platform. Here’s a drawing I did back in 2020 in anticipation of Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory…my excitement for which literally got my through fall 2020.

So I am re-playing Kh1, and right now I need to tidy up my room, but please someone remind me to rant about a theory I am pretty sure about.

The summary of the theory is that 1. multiple forces were already at play by Kh1, and 2. Kairi was the one who opened the Door and caused the islands to fall.

I didn’t have room to include all the versions unfortunately, sorry if your favorite isn’t listed.

Just completed KH: Melody of Memory for the first time and a thought struck me: "Mickey will show up in Missing-Link." I'm putting my explanation as to why under the cut, for spoiler reasons. KH:MOM is the most recent game to date, so... Felt like being nice.

Yeah, I could be very wrong. However the final scene in the game ends with Yen Sid telling Mickey that his search for information on this "world of fiction" will start in Scala ad Caelum. It would make a lot of sense then, that we actually see this happen. In fact, due to Merlin's control over time, I think it is very possible. As we've seen in KH2, Merlin could simply create a door for Mickey to go through. Easy-peasy. Then, Mickey would be the Missing Link in the chain, though that could still be Brain too for all we know. Either way, that was my brain wave.

I may be absolutely crossed right now but playing through circle of life on KH:MoM gets my heart clenching in a raw ass way that get me close to bawling it’s some sort of primal stuff man. We really do be in the circle of life, the endless round.

Nintendo dropped the second KH:MoM trailer, Square dropped new Kingdom Hearts shoes and Nomura himself dropped new artwork of Kairi for the MoM boxart. Be fed KH fans. 😭

I wanna talk about the KH:MoM boxart of Kairi versus the KH3 boxart of Sora. Just take a look at this. The contrast between Sora and Kairi couldn't be any clearer.

Sora is surrounded by Darkness. Kairi is surrounded by Light.

Sora is awake. Kairi is asleep.

Sora's picture frames are all empty. Kairi's picture frames are all full of old memories.

If Kairi is looking back on and holding onto past memories then perhaps Sora is looking towards the future and is opening up his heart to create new memories.

But the most pressing question here is why is Sora surrounded by Darkness? This has been a question since this art was first released, with many assuming Nomura was just calling back to FFXV's Noctis and that the pose meant nothing. Now that we see Sora juxtaposed with Kairi, I believe this was all intentional.

Many are theorizing that Sora will eventually fall to darkness or will get lost in Darkness and we've practically been told as such by Young Xehanort who said he is already lost to the abyss. The world of Verum Rex shows the phrase "Reclaim your Heart" and we know from the Nameless Star that Yozora's heart was replaced by another's, thus Yozora is most likely out to reclaim his heart. The same will most likely happen to Sora as he wanders around in Shibuya, lost. When we look at the facial expression of Sora on the throne we can see that he has a face unlike anything he's ever worn. He looks overly confident with his legs crossed while his head wrests on his fist. His furrowed brow and cock-sure smirk are daring to the viewer, daring them to approach him. And he seems to have crowned himself a king. Maybe this is concept art of Sora losing his heart and forgetting who he once was, hence the lack of memories.

This is all a theory and yes I know I could be overthinking it. Nomura put Sora on a throne once before on the KH 1.5/2.5 cover, a throne with keyblades sticking out of it like Game of Thrones' Iron Throne. See below:

This was most likely just artwork that had no meaning behind it, or perhaps it was concept art for this current picture, concept art for the series' future. You can never really tell with Nomura, he throws things into the series all the time and then uses it in the future like that machine waaay back in KH1 at the end of the world, which we found out per Khux is a teleporter.

I think we better brace ourselves for whatever they have planned for the future. It could get a whole lot darker.

Update: Also want to include this Dark Road image of Young Xehanort. Notice that he is also sitting in on a very similar throne, but his throne looks like Kairi's and isn't surrounded by Darkness but is instead surrounded by his friends. Considering that this is the point in Xehanort's life before he falls to Darkness it makes sense that his throne would be light like Kairi's. It's telling that not even Xehanort's throne is as dark as Sora's despite spending most of his life in Darkness versus Sora who we haven't even really seen fall to Darkness. I honestly hope he does, I think it would be a very interesting character arc for Sora and would lead to very good character development which to me would be about time!

I just realized the whole time in re:mind Riku and the others didn't even seem to entertain the idea that Sora might have died.

Like, they keep saying he may pop up somewhere in some world and they are looking for him.

We know Donald and Goofy get the right idea in kh4 - but we don't know if that's an idea they get after kh:MoM.

Riku dived into Quadratum either in denial or wishing really, really hard. I mean, if Sora just disappeared or got misplaced then of course it shouldn't be a problem to bring him back, right? Right? Except he isn't. Now, that's gonna be a problem.

I wonder how he's gonna react once someone drops the bomb.

yay, new theatrhythm :)

Nomura WTF are you doing now?

[sheep-sorbet]

im sure someone else out there has made this exact same post BUT personally i like to imagine that when ienzo gets very upset or feels very strongly his ability to speak just nopes the fuck out, which wasn't noticeable when he was a kid because he was just Like That, but now that he's a total chatterbox it's much more obvious
