CitoIta and Kingdom Hearts Headcanons
Because I like Kingdom Hearts and I like them and they are gamers
(I say CitoIta but honestly, it’s just because it’s about Citron & Itaru, the ship is kinda vague here lol. Like it’s probably optional to read it that way at this point)
(There’s an attempted bonus section about Banri at the end, that’s why I tagged him.)
{Opening in new tab is strongly advised. I used bullet points with sub bullet points. UPDATE: I personally struggled with opening this in a new tab on the blog where all the subpoints are properly formatted, so I pinned it so you can go right to my blog and find it easily if you want. Also I moved the Intro below the Keep Reading link for space.}
Keep Reading (I manually put this one so it would hopefully always open in a new properly formatted tab)
In this post, scientifically backed by my memory, understanding of the characters and other things (eg: feelings, unlisted headcanons, & my understanding of types of people in fanbases/the kh fandom, minus shippers, I’m not touching that... here, I might consider it in the future, probably not but maybe), I will go over basics like how many games they’ve played and their fave games, trios, characters by groups, and moments. Also, there are conversations and little tidbits about how it fits into their world. I tried to pick a favorite battle but note that they probably have more than one those are just notable ones that I thought were worth mentioning. There will be KH spoilers if you’re someone unfamiliar/not caught up with it. 
Citron
Has not played every game but has looked into the story and watched playthroughs of some of the other games.
Hasn’t played the games he has played in order, 
Might not have caught up on the story in order but if so that’d be more because he was looking for specific characters and info
Has definitely played BBS, Days, CoM, UX, & Dark Road. 
Might’ve played (one, two or all three of the following, idk) DDD, Re:Coded, KH
Has definitely not played KH2,
Likes to find/delve into theories
Read the Sleeping Realm Theory 
to Itaru, because he thought it sorta sounded interesting but told Citron he wasn’t reading all that.
I don’t know any other names of long theories besides SRT but you can bet your bottom dollar that Citron has read(or listened to) them for sure
Wants very much to try Sea Salt ice cream
Considering figuring out how to make Wayfinders
UX Union:
Anguis 
and has never switched unions
Favorites:
Game: Birth By Sleep
Trio: Keyblade Knights
Lost Trio is a close second
Character from each group:
Destiny: Sora
Sea Salt: Axel
Keyblade Knights: Aqua
Twilight Town: Hayner
Lost Trio: Namine
but Vanitas is a close second
Organization 13(minus Sea Salt): Xemnas, Zexion/Ienzo or Demyx(probably depends on the day)
Foretellers: Luxu
Xkids: Brain
& He gets bonus points for dressing up his Chirithy
DR Underclassmen: Vor
DR Upperclassmen: Vidar
Xehanort: Xemnas (?)
I know I listed Xemnas as one of his faves in Organization 13 but genuinely I feel it’s a v love hate relationship, where the love is that he can and definitely would(is like two seconds away from it) do an analysis on Xemnas’s actions/behaviors/character
Boss Battle(that he definitely 100% played): 
BBS Aqua ft. Terra vs Terranort
Opening:
Birth by Sleep 0.2 A Fragmentary Passage

Days:
that Sora just subconsciously gave some of his memories to Xion because she didn’t have any
DDD

Sora going off to thank the Dreameaters
Commonly Quoted(? idk what else to call these, i specifically mean the ones you find in compilations and stuff) Lines from the English Translation: “[’Me? I’m already half Xehanort'] ‘That’s nuts...’”
Bracketed the first part bcuz I think he uses the second part as a reaction sometimes, same infliction and everything
It’s at the point that Tsuzuru’s familiar with it, against his wishes(If Citron says the first part Tsuzuru might accidentally properly respond, that’s how deep in he is, he’s not even sure who Xehanort is(but he does think that’s nuts))
Final things of note: 
Is excited for Atlantis in KH2
Enjoys the attractions in KH3:
Loves that Dark Aqua could be beat w/ a pirate ship 
Loves that there was a roller coaster in the Keyblade Graveyard
Favorite Summons:

Often forgets he has items but has gotten really good at blocking and healing because of it
Very good with magic
Itaru
Has played just about every game in release date order, 
with just about 100% completion on all of them
Is (lowkey, but acts highkey) appalled Citron hasn’t played the games in order, currently planning time for them to play through all the games together
Has read the manga and maybe some of the light novels
Does look at theories sometimes, might even have a few of his own, definitely has his own headcanons

Character from each group:
Destiny: Currently Riku,

Was Sora for awhile
Sea Salt: Roxas, 
It really is, but he would absolutely main Xion if given the chance
Keyblade Knights: Aqua
Twilight Town: Roxas  Olette 
though he somewhat feels guilty to Pence as feels like he spent more time with Pence but that Olette is just a tad bit cooler
Lost Trio: Rep,
but Namine’s a close second 
Organization 13(minus Sea Salt): Currently Saïx/Isa, but it’s kind of a love hate relationship
There’s also a lean towards Larxene
Foretellers: Ava
Xkids: Skuld
DR underclassmen: Baldr

Chikage did witness it tho
Xehanort: Ansem SoD

to clarify the Lea Isa scene is a part of that

Commonly Quoted(?) Lines from the English Translation: “Roxas, that’s a stick.”
Final things of note:
Has found all 101 Dalmatians
Has read fanfiction longer than the Sleeping Realm Theory
(which is actually really easy to do, I looked it up and the docs word count is 31,265)
Has his Data-bosses battles on his channel
Proud it only took a couple of tries to beat Yozora (he recorded each try to put his win on his channel)
Uses items all the time, knows when the best time to effectively use items for maximum item usage
“Actual" conversations:
Fave Games:
Itaru: *rambling about some KH2-related topic &/or how he can’t believe Citron hasn’t played 2*
Citron: ooo! Itaru, are you one of those guys who feels Kingdom Hearts peaked at 2?
Itaru: Kingdom Hearts 2 is just an objectively good game, the other games are good too though. KH2 is just, objectively speaking, great. Is it my favorite? Yes, but it’s completely warranted as...
Citron: *smiling as Itaru starts rambling knowing that he’s point two seconds away from going into a 2hr spiel about how KH2 is great*
Itaru: *clears throat catching himself early* A-Anyway, which one’s your favorite?
Citron: Birth by Sleep! I love the ice cream rhythm game :3
Itaru: *understanding that there’s definitely a lot deeper of a reason to that being Citron’s fave* Oh, that’s a good pick. Actually sorta seems on brand for you. Ice Cream Beat is pretty fun.
[Then they boot up Itaru’s copy of BBS and play Ice Cream Beat]
Play Order:
Itaru: So it’s a little late for you to get the full proper experience but we’re gonna play the games in order because it’s really the best way to experience the games.
Citron: Ok, speaking of order and since we’ll get to Birth By Sleep eventually, we both agree that the best way to play the first time is Aqua Terra Ven, yes?
Itaru [has played each route and in varying order, does not quite remember which order he played the game in the first time but is pretty sure it was Terra Ven Aqua]: ...Ven makes a lot of sense to play last...
Citron: Then I am glad we are in agreement. ^^
Itaru: Most people play Aqua last tho--
Citron: Sure chronologically she left Land of Departure last, but story telling-wise *starts talking about why Aqua, Terra, Ven is the best order*
Twewy: (I could do a whole other post on headcanons regarding them playing twewy, it’d maybe be shorter, tho maybe I won’t bcuz I feel like they know more than me lol(I say like Itaru doesn’t know more about KH than me *cries*). If I refer to twewy’s og name wrong here I’m sorry)
Citron: It’s cool that the twewy characters were in DDD. :)
Itaru: Yea. Oh you played subaseka before you met the cast in 3D right?
Citron: :)
Itaru: Right?
[Citron refuses to answer because he thinks leaving Itaru hanging is funnier than a yes or no ever could be]
Ansem SoD as Itaru’s Fave Xehanort:
Citron *three seconds after finding out*: So, is he your favorite because nostalgia as he was the first one you battled or because you think he’s hot?
Itaru: *chokes on being immediately found out because it’s both*
Bonus: Banri & KH Headcanons for no reason other than he also plays games
(With some obligatory Citron and Itaru mentions below because this is their post lol Banri’s not a part of CitoIta. Just to clarify)
Probably has not played all the games
Stares at Itaru whenever he starts talking about secret bosses or hard-to-find treasure chests/secret reports typically until he stops, lists a specific Banri is familiar with or Banri finds a way to shift the conversation. It’s not that he hasn’t come across them he just
doesn’t know which bosses are secret and which aren’t
doesn’t go out of his way to look for treasure chests
Partakes in the memes
Can quote more games than he played honestly, loves those “out of context”/”lines I quote” videos
Has memes saved to his phone
Azami and Taichi borrowed his phone once for picture reasons and Azami was appalled by the Aqua Cinderella meme & the Terra memes (ifykyk)
Probably had Xion’s scream from Days as Sakyo’s someone’s ringtone as a joke (can people set ringtones and ringback tones anymore?) but then he recieved a call from that person in public and was lowkey highkey embarassed so he unset it
He and Citron:
have done a Goofy rendition of Bring Me to Life one time
though Banri sorta begrudgingly participated
At least one Mankai member who was there said he’s not going Karaoke w/ them anymore
are quick to point out or send pictures of “Lucky Emblems” when they see them, it’s almost a contest at this point
Sakyo has asked them to stop sending “lOOk!! a LuCKy emBlem!” in the main chat with a picture of three connected circles, Itaru eggs them on tho
Itaru participates too but he doesn’t have the same luck in seeing them, he is the reason they started tho as in person he pointed one out so later Citron sent a picture of one to show him, so Banri just had to too but he sent two as he already had the pictures and was gonna show them later, so Citron had to find two more to be in the lead and after he found just one more, Banri caught on that they were competing and they spiraled from there
I know logically they don’t appear that often irl but I also know in my heart that it’s happened enough that Taichi, then Kazu and Kumon participated. Now,  the rest of Mankai keeps an eye out for them
Between Tsumugi’s picture of flower bulbs leaning together captioned “Does this count as a lucky emblem?” Izumi asking how many points she gets for a random spot on the ground that sorta looks like a lucky emblem & Omi sending a picture of at lighting set up from work saying “ at this angle this sorta looks like a lucky emblem right?” Sakyo’s feeling a little betrayed because each of those were during times when people weren’t actively mentioning them in the chat.
Winter Troupe is the first troupe to all find at least one “Lucky Emblem”
Autumn troupe (jokingly) blame Sakyo for them not being first
UX Union:
Has probably been in a couple, Ursus or Vulpeus most recently
Favorites:
Game: Dream Drop Distance
but would rather tell you he “hasn’t thought about it, maybe 2″
Trio: Destiny, 
but might not correct you if you guessed Sea Salt,
Character from each group:
Destiny: Riku
He honestly sorta relates in ways. I’m not gonna get too into it but like yea he feels.
Sea Salt: Roxas
Keyblade Knights: Terra, 
but he makes jokes that rag on him a lot so unless you know Banri you would probably think he hates him or just likes to make fun of him. He really does like Terra as a character tho. Feels for him too. But as we know bullying is his love language
Twilight Town: Seifer Pence
Seifer’s a joke fave because of the undeniable proof [they] totally owned [those] lamers (if ykyk)
Lost Trio: Vanitas, 
but Rep’s a close second
Organization 13(minus Sea Salt): Larxene & Xigbar
Foretellers: Luxu (?)
Xkids: Player|Star(light)
DR Underclassmen: Xehanort, “but Bragi’s kinda cool, I guess.”
DR Upperclassmen: *hasn’t actually caught up yet, but he likes Helgi’s design*
Xehanort: Young Master Xehanort(YMX)
Itaru says it’s because they’re both brats
Boss Battle (that he definitely 100% played): 
KH2 Sora v Sephiroth or DDD Riku v YMX [I couldn’t decide which one to list]
Opening:
KH3
Moments/Tidbits:
Involving Fave Trio:
All Three:
KH2
Kairi “calling Riku tf out” ultimately leading to the reunion
KH3
Riku talking with Rep on the beach, Kairi and Sora sees him sitting there by himself
Sora:
KH1
Sora giving his goofy smile before plunging a keyblade into his chest
KH3
Sora dropping down to protect Riku from Dark Aqua in the nick of time
Riku:
DDD
That Riku just subconsciously became a dream eater
KH3
Riku taking a stand against the heartless despite just about all hope being lost
Kairi:
KH2:
Kairi(and Namine) preparing to fight Saix and the berserker nobodies with their bare hands
KH3 Re:Mind
Kairi getting a surprise attack in on Xemnas
Involving someone other than Fave Trio: 
KH3
Yeetus Vanitas
Woody roasting YMX
DDD
YMX & Vanitas spouting “nonsense” at Sora
Lea showing up and Donald & Goofy dropping from the sky, ultimately coming to the rescue
UX
Star ready to square up with the Foretellers
mainly in reference to the Star v Ira speech/scene/fight but the Aced one too
Commonly Quoted(?) Lines from the English Translation: “Mickey it’s Riku, they put bugs in him!” & “Thank you Sora’s heart”
Final things of note:
Always plays on proud mode from the get-go
Not really a completion-ist but does have just about every trophy earned on DDD
Didn’t know you could lose to Yozora in the battle against him
Probably actually more of a Final Fantasy fan than KH, or at least got into KH because the Final Fantasy appearances
Bonus Convos:
Demyx:
Itaru: Yea, I can’t figure out Luxord, for Demyx I’ve seen people guess his name as Myde.
Banri: lol I like the theory that his name is Demyx and he just wandered into the Organization 
Citron: That one is funny, but as far as likelyness goes I like to think his name is Demy and they just slapped an x at the end.
Banri: The laziest naming.
Citron: Exactly!
[and then Banri and Citron start talking about Demyx and it somehow leads them to talking about Goofy’s “death” in KH2 and now they’re talking about KH memes and jokes and Itaru just wanted to know if they had any thoughts on Luxord’s name.]
Vanitas vs Aqua:
Banri: *(possibly somewhat jokingly) insinuates Vanitas is as strong but probably stronger than Aqua*
Citron: *gasp* No!! He is not.
Banri: Really? Then how come he almost took Aqua out?
Citron[genuinely loves Vanitas]: He is a rat! He cannot beat Aqua in a fair fight!
Itaru: I believe he means brat.
Citron: No!! I mean rat, feral ferret child! Can only beat Aqua after biting her and giving her rabies! And even then, she still has at least a week to destroy him.
Itaru: lol that’s quite the metaphor.
Banri: I... *got lost* ???
Itaru: He’s saying Vanitas can only use dirty tricks to even get close to beating Aqua.
Banri: ???
Citron: If Vanitas could beat her he wouldn’t have to result to tricks like firing at Ven, which she was already off her A-game then mind you. But honestly, if Vanitas can’t even get close to beating Terra what hope does he have to actually beat Aqua. I can vouch that he can’t beat Terra. I beat the Terra v Xehanort and Vanitas battle by whacking Vanitas around. It was really easy. Vanitas has only beaten Ven in a fair fight. He’s not nearly as strong as Terra and Aqua. It’s demonstrated through their elements, really. Vanitas is fire...
Banri: *stressed, wasn’t expecting a whole lecture, looks to Itaru for help*
Itaru: *nodding along listening to what Citron has to say*
So yeah those are some of my headcanons involving KH and CitoIta (and Banri with minor Mankai mentions.) If anyone wants to do Taichi(who idk could play already, while I haven’t picked any out I know what type of moments would be his faves, I just can’t figure out yet if he prefers characters he relates to or characters he thinks are cool/want to be like) or Kumon (who I’d feel would want to start after seeing them enjoy it, bet Banri and Citron would have him play chronologically by timeline rather than release order “for science”) or any other characters, really, I’d gladly read it. I can see Taichi & Kumon playing KH but I don’t feel like I know them well enough to do this with them lol. I’m not even sure I know Banri well even to this with him but I attempted it lol. If there’s any questions about my decisions I might answer them, some are easier to put into words than others though. 
Anywho, I dunno how to end this post tbh. Ship CitoIta, Play Kingdom Hearts. idk. 
Thanks for reading all of my nonsense lol.

Explaining our spiritual beliefs under the cut!
So basically the foundation of our beliefs is that everyone comes from a source life energy- this is seen in a lot of our works, this is what Quintessence in Hollow Skies is. This life energy has various names, we actually do just call it Quintessence ourselves. But this life energy makes up everything in the universe that lives- humans, animals, plants. This life energy can also be put into nonliving things- robots, stuffed animals- anything you believe has a heart and soul has that life energy. This energy cannot be destroyed, so upon the death or destruction of whatever harbors it, the energy is put back into... Essentially the Lifestream (I am genuinely calling it that these days) and flows on to the next stop for it. Sometimes this results in multiple beings' energy going into the same person/thing in the next world it reaches, or sometimes it's a matter of multiple incarnations- so sometimes someone can have several past life identities from one source, sometimes the same world or sometimes just different versions of the same world.
Now, another belief of ours is that any God or Deity you believe in? Exists as long as you believe in them. Like, if there's someone you have faith in, they're real in some form, even if you don't believe in them under the name they truly use. Sometimes these titles can be passed on- Sky has been a Deity of Light in some of our past lives, in fact. The only Deity we personally believe in, though, is Fate- a prophet, perhaps not a real Deity, who's followed us through several lives tormenting us with his prophecies.
Now, a recurring trope for me and Sky in our lives is being twins that are at each others' throats. This is most notable in our KH and FFXV canons- As Sora and Yozora, and Noctis and Animus. It's also notable in us being Rubedo and Albedo from Xenosaga. Animus is not canon to the FFXV that was released as a game here; but rather, a reincarnation of Ardyn that reincarnated several times alongside Somnus; making Noctis and Animus. I don't know why this "brothers who hate each other" archetype continues throughout all our lives but it feels like it has cosmic significance.

Note
do you have more thoughts on keyblade fighting that you need to put somewhere, because i have two hands ready to catch Should The Need Arise
anon: hey I heard you mention you’d analysed the combat styles in KH and what you said in the tags was already alluding to really neat stuff, but I for one would love to hear more of what you came up with!! so if you ever wanted to share any of your analysis then the floor is yours
aHAH, MY EXCUSE!!
Okay, so first some words on “standardized wielding styles”. These are styles shared by Terra, Aqua, Vanitas, Riku, and Xehanort and every other scala and daybreak kid. I will make the argument that the red style is the fanciest standard style, while the purple is seen often to make it easier on the little chibi sprites. BUT, I cannot discredit Eraqus, who uses the purple variant in bbs, nor can I discredit half of the Foretellers (Gula and Ava, at least, use this. Invi and Aced use the first type). So, two standard styles. For simplicity, let’s say one for primary offense, one for primary defense. The standard offensive style really wasn’t popular before Scala-era society.
check this difference out, specifically between ava invi and gula:
Tumblr media
then between eraqus, hermod, and xehanort, and eraqus and terra.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
These two were likely popularized and standardized for education in Scala ad Caelum for their predominant lack of obvious weak spots.
After this, we have unique styles. Those include Sora Kairi and Xion’s (similar to standard defense, but more mobile at the expense of form — Kairi takes after Sora but less confident, she hasn’t been hit that heavily yet), Ven’s (backhand, heavy range and mobility), Roxas’ (modified for two keyblades, but takes after Sora), and Axel’s (taught himself, comfortable with chakrams).
So! Let’s go.
.
Standard (offensive)
All styles have sub-variations, of a sense. Different wielders can choose where their keyblade points, and how they hold it exactly, based on what makes them most comfortable. Terra and Aqua point theirs downward, while Vanitas and Riku hold theirs above their head. What is recognizeable to this style is a hand for the sword, and a hand for guarding/blocking/items/magic.
Tumblr media
It’s incredibly efficient. With only one hand on the weapon, you not only free up a hand for other things, but increase your range of movement with said weapon. Test it out yourself! The keyblade hand is always your dominant hand, held behind you for increased power when attacking (since you lose a significant amount of it by choosing not to grip with both hands). This style also decreases the speed of the defense you have, but with that increased mobility and swing power, along with a hand free to brace against the keyblade (defense strength up!), it makes up for it. Many people who use this also have strong barrier spells — both a testament to their preference for coverage and an acknowledgement that any directional block will take a little longer and be weaker if they try it with one hand.
The pointy end, though. What difference does it actually make, the height it’s at?
I think it’s half a matter of attack style preference and half intention. Riku, Vanitas, and Xehanort stab quite a bit. Aqua and Terra slice more. Not that they don’t do both, but it’s the first instinct. Aqua and Terra are also likely taught to hold their keyblade neutrally, in a safe position, until someone starts attacking. It’s polite! Eraqus also holds his one-handed, neutrally, until he gets into position. Riku and Vanitas learned to fight assuming everyone was out to fight them. Invi and Aced may like this style because of range (i hc she’s blind and strikes very very quickly, and he’s already very powerful with just the one arm and wants better motion).
and on character specifics: Terra often switches to two-handed, to copy his dad and add extra power to his hits without always sacrificing the empty hand. Vanitas likely was forced to relearn how to fight, as instead of solely being trained to be better at withstanding, he was constantly being made to better his own attacks. The moves Xehanort uses would best be replicated in the same style. Vanitas is wild for holding the massive spiky x-blade like that.
Now, what‘s good on this style does not correlate to what’s bad in the other. The two standard styles simply have different ways of dealing with each con they create or taking advantage of each pro.
(Here’s an interesting side note — Gula uses standard defensive, but in this instance, swaps. One hand… likely to display confidence! Wrong move, but hey. He got cocky. He’s also doing it wrong, and swaps back to two-handed to take Aced’s attack.)
Tumblr media
.
Standard (defensive)
Tumblr media
The main detriment of this style is the lack of ease of long range movement. Hold a wrapping paper tube out in front of you with both hands, then run. It goes to the side, or tucks in to your stomach, right? Dodge. Your legs will get in the way unless you know where to move that sword. It requires, interestingly, a little more discipline. You’d think Aqua would like that, but no, she wants movement and practicality, and she loves magic, and remember that you must take a hand off this style to grab a potion. You’d think young Eraqus wouldn’t, but remember that he’s a fancy royal lad.
The main draw, though, is tankiness, readiness, and power. You don’t need to move as much if nothing dares hit you! Ava and Gula might be attracted to this style because they’re not as physically strong, but want protection in close-quarters fighting. Using this style when your muscles aren’t as big but you still want to Hit Things Good, or when you want to be a boy you can’t knock over with a pail of water (horse stance rules), is probably solid advice.
Traditionally, this is a lot less like fencing, and a lot more like a samurai sword or kendo. Your blade is held in front of you, giving you very easy access to blocks and frontal attack/defense. In losing some twirly spinniness, you gain power and minimize your opponent’s ability to parry and block.
Tumblr media
you gotta dodge master Eraqus so mcuh
All styles will swap between one and two hands for different moves. Eraqus, notably, swaps to a stance very similar to Xehanort when channeling a metric ton of magic.
Both of these styles require a degree of upper body/core strength, as does all swordfighting. I would be interested to see someone whose keyblade style relies on leg strength.
.
Sora, Xion, and Kairi
please look at the difference between the foretellers’ or eraqus’ two-handed grip and Sora’s. Do this with your shoulders and a top-heavy object.
They’re both in a hard stance, but hon. What are you, a gremlin? Anyways, a traditionally taught master would have… better form, even if it’s harder to learn at first. It’s habitual. Sora nearly crouches, and holds his keyblade back-pointed with two hands, which makes it easier for him to dodge roll, push off his feet quickly, and pull off those spinning combos he loves. It‘s really gonna hurt his muscles, in the future, though, since he’s doing a squat for like…. hours. Pulling on those shoulderblades and neck. Xion, too. Replicas had better have correct muscle dynamics. Kairi is brand new, so… maybe Aqua can teach her how to hold a sword so it doesnt hurt you.
Okay, now look at the grip itself. Held in front versus held to the side-back. They’re really attempting to combine both standard styles subconsciously, giving themselves more attack power while really wanting to keep that hard defensive parry, wanting to prevent all attacks to the front while also wanting mobility. It’s working for them really well, they fight like an anime character, and manage to get the best of both, with a minor sacrifice of length range that they don’t care about. We’re flexible and full of magic, baby! Holding the blade like this makes it pretty easy to let go with one hand without sacrificing that crouched defense position.
Now, Sora, specifically, is very adaptive. He’s had two keyblades, claws, guns, yo-yos, and a giant shield, to name a couple. He retains a bit of that alert crouch no matter where he goes, but Sora knows how he wants to attack and how to balance that with the most effective way to use his current weapon. He’s a smart kid! Sora has the most ridiculous shotlocks, which are also probably due to not always wanting to go standard for it. He also prefers to keep his focus on the enemy, which is evident in his reprisals and lack of very many effective “escape” moves.
Xion is very similar to Sora, but she does have some moves that are all movement. She switches to one handed for strikes a lot — using two for defending, one for smacking. In her data battle I’d swear some of those heavy hits are claymore-like. But anyways, since we’re magic, Xion cares not for the laws of exhaustion, and will ping about as a ball of light everywhere. Short range? Up in your business. Mid-range? In your business with one hand. Long range? Throws a boomerang. Hit her? No you dont. Ball of light. She’s above you and wants to bash your head in. (Vanitas also does this! A lot. It’s an easy way to catch someone off-guard. I’ll argue that the soras are very tough and strong, but not tanky. they want to avoid being hit a lot)
Another interesting note about Kairi. I say “unconfident” not because she doesn’t hit hard, but because her stance is also often tilted back, ready to dodge. It’s two handed, but almost all her moves are one. She does love spinning and throwing the thing! It looks like she’s been taking notes from the wielders she knows. It would be easy to teach her a standard style, I think. See here, she lets go on the strike, and by trying to do both, actually ends up with an advantage (being confusing) and disadvantage (losing both the power of two handed and versatility of one handed).
Tumblr media
A counter to Sora and Xion is difficult to pin down. Time? Probably. Lack of heating pads. Something that takes all their attention is about the only way to get a sneak attack in, and then you have to hit hard. A counter to Kairi would be anyone who can knock her off balance. She needs a sturdier stance. .
Roxas
Roxas is interesting. He takes after Sora for the one blade. Wielding two, however, nets him a totally different way of fighting. Roxas’ clavicle muscles n… deltoids and stuff must be Ironclad. Also, two handed means you are very fast and sharp all the time. He has the advantage of standard defense (horse stance), and the advantage of offense (range of one sword, but twice).
Roxas generally attacks in two ways — simultaneous hits, and follow-up hits. Either he hits with both at once, or hits hard with the first one, and adds the second one as a bonus smack. He can attack by hitting in opposite directions with the two, like a drum, but that will be a little awkward and leave him prone to being tangled. That established, the follow-up hit method means he spins a bunch. As do we all.
Roxas gets a little complicated because we are not in the real world. We have magic and turning into light and physics that let you become a circular saw. So, typically, disadvantages would include: being unable to let go of a weapon to grab something or use an item, having just a very big silhouette to attack on, having difficulty with close-range attacks because Oathkeeper and Oblivion are kinda long, and convenience. Roxas gets to dodge #1 (keyblades can be unsummoned) and #4 (keyblades can be unsummoned). Speaking of dodging, he also gets to skirt the difficulty of dodging and rolling with two swords because he turns into a beam of light. But he can’t dodge how difficult it is to use two swords effectively — he needs to concentrate on fighting, and nothing else, or he risks messing up. He has to be very, very coordinated, and undistracted. Luckily he’s pretty good at making his opponents shut up, most of the time. Blocking is another thing — theoretically his blocks could be strong, but Roxas has no real brace: crossing your blades and taking a hefty stab might smack one of them back into your face. He mostly uses reversals and dodges, because of this.
The takeaway to this is Roxas is built for speed and power, and he is very strong. He’s a mid- to far- range fighter who if you’re not careful can snap you in half if you’re too close (be SO careful of that cross blade scissor).
A perfect counter to Roxas would be a tank that can grapple, and also be very distracting. If you can take hits, be talkative, and get close enough to stop his blades, you have a chance.
.
Ventus
This is a bizarre choice, my guy, but I get it.
Backhanded weapons are very impractical for a lot of... attacking, mainly in mid-range combat, and Ven likes to either fight very close or throw the keyblade like a boomerang (and hey, backhand gives it a good whip for throwing). His attacks aren’t meant to one hit KO, but they do come with a bit of power to them, especially on the backslash. Like holding a knife for gouging. It’s for very close defense — pretty good when Wayward Wind and Missing Ache have hooks.
Backhand also, while retaining that empty hand for potions and guarding, gives you an extreme coverage boost. By which I mean Ven’s sword hand now has a nearly 270 degree sweep of “I see you, don’t touch me”, very quickly, based on just flicking his wrist. It sacrifices a ton of strength/sturdiness, but you don’t need that if you’re dodging. You also don’t really need to block, which is slower, but relatively sturdy when Ven does it, as he blocks with mostly the chunky hilt between crossed arms. He sacrifices (again) a bit of strength for coverage — an attack would hurt his arms, not his chest, if he were hit head-on.
Tumblr media
His attacks often have him flip the blade around in his hand, too. Quick swaps between standard moves and backhand ones. Basically, Ventus is built for moving, protecting himself, and quick attacks that wear down the enemy, not outclass it. Likely because he’s good at fighting, but everyone he’s fought hits harder than he can! It doesn’t matter how he holds it, getting hit will hurt. So he just. Doesn’t. He’s not a buff little guy — but he is a persistent one. Ven very likely made this up on his own, in Daybreak, and it was too hard to fix his whole style, but it was enough to correct most of his form so he doesn’t hurt himself too much. He is going to have to really stretch that shoulder and wrist (maybe get a brace), though. At least his neck is ok. … not sure about his knees tho dang boy that crouch
A perfect counter to Ven would be someone big and fast, who hits hard mid-range. He’s already been sparring with Terra, though, so when in doubt, try scruffing him?
.
Axel
Theres not a ton to say about him — he‘s not a swordfighter. He uses his keyblade like it’s a frisbee. Because that’s what he’s used to! His neutral is behind his back on his shoulder, which is terrible for readiness, but okay for chucking the thing. It’s good it has a sort of… ripstik like… boomerang quality.
Axel’s fighting style is completely made up, like most of the self-taught wielders’. His strengths lie in some of the benefits of standard offensive style (one-handed), and some of the same coverage stuff as Ven, having a cocked wrist most of the time so no one can sneak up around him without risking getting whacked very quickly, and having an interesting range due to the pointy end being basically on a spinny swivel wherever his hand moves. He’s not going to be good at close-range and he knows it — his attacks are mostly distance. And the guy has ZERO defense, combined with zero coverage when idle, so it’s for the better.
Distance-wise, though, he rocks. Treating the blade like it’s a flaming throwing weapon means his idle is actually great for sudden flick-tossing and attention-guiding for sneakier attacks, and his stance itself (…nonexistent) serves a different purpose: bait. Basically a big "come hit me". Fun, when you have a lot of fire magic and two friends who are beasts and love to take advantage of a distracted enemy — distance on the blade, proximity on the burning.
A perfect counter to Axel would be someone pinging around very close <—> very far and circling him incessantly. Like, data Xion could wreck him, as he has to wait for the boomerang to come back -- he no longer has two spinny wheels. Also someone with water magic.
.
SO! In conclusion! Having a teacher who teaches you correct sword usage rather than instinct may detract from overspecific styles that benefit you most but leave weak spots, but your muscles and your oversights will thank you. Everyone is glad we have the power of the Mouse and anime on our side.
Keep in mind again that I have done cursory research, and have had minimal actual sword instruction, I am not an expert and this is all for fun anyways :]

Theory: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is canon to Kingdom Hearts
Ok I know the title is a bit clickbaity and probably won't happen. But it could, knowing KH's history... just hear me out. Also this is a long-ass post but I won't tag it as such cus I already have a read more so w/e. Click it at your own risk
Part I: What this theory actually means
It means exactly that: Sora is not in fact just another guest fighter, but in fact Sora himself. Compare this to, say, the fighters from the Zelda universe, who are each based on a specific character but whose appearance are accepted as non-canon to the Zelda lore, or Pit, in a similar situation, referencing Smash Bros explicitely in the fourth wall-obliterating Uprising.
Part II: Super Smash Bros lore
Possibly other than the N64 game, the Super Smash Bros Series takes place in what's known as the "world of trophies". As the name implies, it's a world inabhited by trophies, or figurines, which come to life and fight, and when defeated or "killed" simply revert to their trophy form until "reactivated". This can be seen in every game since Melee, most notably in the two "canon" modes of Smash Bros history, The Subspace Emissary and World Of Light.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
All of this to establish that Super Smash Bros. has its own world and lore, even if it's mostly relegated to separate story modes.
Part III: Final Fantasy versus XIII (yes, this is important. And if you already know why, you can skip this part)
Circa 2006, Square Enix was planning to make Final Fantasy XIII the next-gen equivalent to the VII, with an extended universe and several spin-offs. Wether it was a success, a failure, or neither, is up for debate, but what's important is that one of the most notorious and ambitious planned titles, directed by Tetsuya Nomura, was Versus XIII. See the trailer here:
youtube
This game would not only ditch any shred of turn-based combat altogether (something that Nomura already had experience with, as he had already helmed the Kingdom Hearts series) but he had also planned to go beyond, seamlessly weaving story and gameplay together without need for cutscenes, ridiculously interactable environments, a rich story centering around the arranged royal marriage of the protagonist, a prince from a kingdom that worships death...
Eventually, versus XIII transformed into XV. Maybe due to this change and Square Enix wanting to play it safe, maybe due to Nomura's overambitions, maybe due to a change of director, maybe due to the game's sheer hype, maybe due to other factors, and probably due to a combination of all those, when the game released, it was mostly seen as pretty good, but underwhelming, even or specially after all the DLC came out. This video goes more in-depth:
youtube
The point is, Nomura was probably a bit frustated with the situation. Still, he continued to work on KH3, and added an easter egg (well, I don't know if it's even correct to call it that since it's so obvious) to Versus XII/XV in the form of Verum Rex, a fictional game in the Toy Story world.
youtube
It has very obvious parallels, Rex geeks out over it, there's ever a section where you get digitized like in Tron and get to play an arcade set in its world! And afterwards, Woody tells Xehanort he has no friends. Overall, a great time! Just a cool easter egg that Nomura put in for the Versus XIII fans and nothing else, right?
Part IV: The absolute state of Kingdom Hearts (if you skipped the last one you can probably skip this one too)
At the end of the story, Sora basically dies and awakens in Shibuya. Not real life Shibuya, not the Shibuya from The World Ends With You (oh yeah he met TWEWY characters, in a similar way to how he met Final Fantasy characters), but a different Shibuya, likely the one from where Yozora (the protagonist of Verum Rex) is from. Probably, because he's there. In fact, in the DLC Sora even fights him.
The DLC also hints that Yozora has a deep connection to Sora. And this character from a fictional videogame that is an homage to a kinda cancelled real life videogame project, along with the mobile game (mostly the characters it introduces) form the cornerstone of current KH theorizing. Just to show you HOW over the place Kingdom Hearts storytelling can be. Meaning this theory (remember this is a theory relating to smash bros) is somewhat plausible.
Anyway, in Melody Of Memory, the only KH game on switch that isn't cloud-based, we find out that Quadratum, the world in which Sora and Yozora are, is a new kind of world called fictional, one that exists outside the normal scope of worlds in the KH series. We already see this in the game itself, as it is, in fact, a fictional game in the KH-verse.
So to summarise: Sora is still currently lost, and exists in a world outside his home series' normal scope. And perhaps, somehow, he managed to get out of the Verum Rex world only to land in the world of trophies?
Part V: "Evidence"
In the trailer, Sora enters by emerging from a giant keyhole summoned by a keyblade, which, in his home series, generally represents travelling between worlds
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Most other trailers have the DLC character getting an invitation or even just showing up, but this is the only one to explicitely use a in-universe dimensional travelling ability.
Furthermore, Sora's trailer and inclusion seems... a bit more aware of Smash Bros-specific lore. At the start of the trailer, all the fighters seem to be expecting the last fighter... until it's revealed they were simply reverted to trophies.
Tumblr media
So it acknowledges the lore compared to, say, the Belmont trailer, where Luigi appears to die.
Tumblr media
Sora's final smash is also a reference to the end of Kingdom Hearts 1, when he seals the door to darkness. And while they could have simply recreated said door, it goes above and beyond in showing that Sora is, in fact, sealing the WORLD OF TROPHIES' heart's door, by having a giant Smash Bros logo on it.
Tumblr media
Finally, when Kirby absorbs Sora, the keyblade he summons is made of pure light because he's literally too pure. Which is kind of just a neat little detail but it's cute.
Tumblr media
Part VI: What does this mean for Kingdom Hearts?
Well... probably not much. If it turns out to somehow be true, it probably won't get much more than something like "and I also went to a world where everyone fought each other. It was pretty neat", maybe more expicit in a Nintendo-exclusive game. But given the nature of Kingdom Hearts, and more specifically its current state of the story and how it seems to want to deal with metafictional concepts, it very well might happen. The biggest obstacle seems to be, as always, copyright.

Note
What are your overall thoughts on the KH shipping community, and on a related note, do you think the series should have other romantic relationships such as Rokushi, Rikunami, or Terraqua, just to name a few notable ones in the fandom, or do you believe it be best to keep things more platonic than romantic so as to not add fuel to the shipping fire?
Uhh, what do you mean exactly about my thoughts on the KH shipping community? Like how chill or not chill they can be? Because if so, I think the fandom can be pretty bad at times, unfortunately. That might even be putting it mildly. One only has to look at how bad things got with the S*oKai vs. S*oRiku ship wars after KHIII--and even back after KHII--to see this. I think KH has even been labeled as one of those fandoms where "Ship Wars Almost Destroyed a Fandom", and I can definitely see why and kind of agree with that, sadly. But having spent some time in the B*uffy and F*FVII fandom, it's not as bad as they are. But only just barely not as bad, imo.
Though the fandom does seem to cool down between game releases, and major things happening to add fuel to the fire of either side of the ship war, which is nice.
All that being said, I'm definitely a KH shipper--and have my ships, of course--and want S*oKai to be canon, and think that it is.
And as for the other ships that you mentioned, I do ship R*okuShi and N*amiku. I also somewhat ship T*erqua (though I'm also okay with those two just being friends, and often times think the Wayfinder Trio might actually be written to just be purely platonic). And while I do ship R*okuShi and N*amiku, I also ship R*okuNami some, and these days I don't know which of those three ships are supposed to be more canon than the others, if any of them, truthfully.
I think I'd be okay with any of them happening at this point, but I don't know if I really need any of them to, either. And I almost feel like the less pairings, the better--though they could be open to interpretation, of course--since KH isn't about romance (though romance, like with S*oKai is certainly a factor in the series).
Like, as long as S*oKai happens, I'm good. And the rest I can kind of take or leave, because even though I do have some ships that I truly love with all my heart in this franchise (that are really OTP level for me), I don't need those ones to be canon in order to still ship them.
I also find that while I used to ship a million KH ships... I really don't anymore? It's mostly the ones that I think maybe have a chance of being canon, and then a few other ones even outside of that that I enjoy.
Anyway, I hope that this answered your question at all. If you want me to clarify anything, I can. And if you want me to tell you any of my other KH ships, I can do that as well!
Thank you for the ask!
Edit 1: Wait. I probably also ship Yozora/Stella (Nameless Star) and need them to be canon--and they surely are--because of my leftover Versus XIII feelings.
Edit: I guess I will go ahead and list the KH pairings I do ship here, after all
Sora/Kairi
Roxas/Xion
Riku/Namine
Roxas/Namine
Terra/Aqua
Gula/Ava
Ephemer/Skuld
I used to ship Player/Strelitzia, but the reveal that Player reincarnates into Xehanort may have ruined that some for me...
Yozora/Stella (Nameless Star)
Lea/Isa
Xehanort/Eraqus
Sora/Riku/Kairi
The fandom has really made me ship Xion/Namine these days
Edit: And Roxas/Xion/Namine
For some reason, I ship Xehanort/Vor a tiny bit
I think these are all the things I really ship these days...
Oh! And I really do like RiKai a lot. Can't forget I forgot that one.
#asked and answered#i used to ship ephemer and ava a little bit but i don't think i really do anymore. same with ira and invi#and i used to have olette ships. but to be honest idk if i really care anymore#and a million years ago i shipped larxene with axel and i can't anymore. and i really don't want to ship her with lauriam so...#no larxene pairings for me i guess#some people ship ven and strelitzia. and i could see it/get into it a tiny bit i guess (even with what happened with darkness)#but i don't think i'm sold on it yet. we'll have to see if they have any interactions in the future and how they play out#i also may be warming up to riku/xion more than ever... but at the same time. if i'm being honest. the only pairing i truly care for that#much anymore is sora/kairi#maaaaaaybe some slight ven/aqua but i'd prefer terra/aqua and even beyond that i prefer the wayfinder trio as friends tbh#i may even be warming up to s*oriku guys#oh! i did ship replinami some too when he was around!#oh and look at that? it looks like i don't even really seriously consider my vanitas pairings anymore. funny how things change#oh i also shipped player/ephemer/skuld back in the day. still kind of do i guess#also roxas/xion/namine#also maybe a tiny bit of sora/namine but only in chain of memories#and aside from shipping ephemer/skuld/player all together (and skuld/ephemer)#i guess i do ship all three ships separately some. like ephemer/player. and even skuld/player a little#and though it's complete crack of course. i do ship roxiri a tiny bit for some reason

Character Design Talks: Xion
To tell you the truth I never really did any metas on Kingdom Hearts before, since Kingdom Hearts is the most complicated game that I ever played! Even I got confused.
Although Kingdom Hearts may be convoluted in its narrative, it has extremely memorable character designs that appeal to me. The series has the art, themes, characters, and overall complexity, all of which I loved about the KH series franchise. The KH series is something close to my heart.
One character, in particular, is one of my favorite characters of the KH franchise and one I keep close to my heart: Xion.
Tumblr media
Before I go over her main design I will start first with her name. I want to talk about the meaning behind her name since Xion's name has many meanings that go well with her character, true nature, and role in the series. Xion's name is spelled differently in Japanese, whereas you will find out, Xion's name has many different meanings.
The concept of Xion was created during the production of KH 358/2 days. The production team wanted to explain why Roxas left the organization and wrote her character and story around this concept. A lot of people might already be known about Xion’s design process started in interviews I’ll say it again in this post,
Tumblr media
From that, they began to construct the storyline that led to the beginning of Xion existence"
With that said, Xion was created to be the answer to why Roxas defected from the organization.
The Series' main characters embody the themes of the series they reside in; the same can be said for Kingdom Hearts with its themes highlighting connections and heart being its central themes.
One of the main themes of 358/2 days besides hearts is identity, memories, and purpose and the game chooses one to better represent and explore its themes of purpose, identity, and memories to encapsulate these themes of 358/2 days Is Xion.
Memories play a big part in 358/2 days, most notably Nobody’s.
As Axel once stated for nobody the closest thing they got is their past:
Tumblr media
for nobody, their memories of their human lives are important to them. It's what gives them identity and helps shape their personalities. Nobodys are people who are being with no hearts but only have their memories of what they are like as people before they lost their hearts. Their memories are info on what they are as people, the closest thing they got to ever having an identity. Their memories are something that they can’t bear to lose because that's the only thing they have that is close to their identity as seen in this comment with Axel.
This can be seen well with Xion as Sora's memories that are lent to her helped form her own identity.
In Nomura style when it comes to characters' names he draws inspiration from physical science and weather in particular sky, land, and sea he creates characters' names inspired by their personalities. when it comes to designing characters Nomura focuses on and wants their names and outfits to be related to their personalities.
Xion's name was chosen specifically to match her character and true nature by Nomura. He based Xions name on the overarching themes of the game.
Xion’s name:
Her name is the anagram of no. i with the x added.
No.i. is an imaginary number, a non-real figure in mathematics for expressing imaginary numbers.
No. i is an imaginary number that plays very well in Xion's character and role with No. i is an imaginary number that plays to her true nature as an experimental replica used to catch Sora's memories and create a keyblade wielder for the organization The "i"  has two meanings. "I" is the Roman numeral for one, because she is the first replica. The x in her name notes how she was named similarly to the organization 13 since members are named based on an anagram of their human name in addition to the sigil x in there. Due to her nature as a replica, Xion was seen as a formal member of the organization because she wasn’t a nobody in the first place. here she lacks a human name like most of the nobodies in the organization. She was not given a name based on what she is as a human since she wasn’t a human, to begin with. No. I could refer to her lack of identity and the organization’s view of her as a tool to gather hearts. That is a cruel irony to this meaning: she wasn’t actually a nobody but a replica but still couldn’t exist in the story due to tragic circumstances in the game.
Tumblr media
Her other meanings in her name also come from "Shion" the Japanese name for Aster Tataricus flower which is called “Shion,紫苑” in Japanese. The flower means "forget me not" and “recollection” and “I won’t forget you" in Japanese floriography. This ties into what happens with her at the very end of the game: her being erased from peoples’ memories after returning Sora's memories to him causing her to disappear and vanish in people's memories the transfer of the key blade from Roxas to Riku at the skyscraper is related to how Riku got a flash of memories of Xion the meaning contained in the flashback is carried by Xion's name this meaning alludes to her fate at the end of the game.
Nomura always puts thought when it comes to how he names his characters this shows his love for flowers as seen when he chooses characters' names based on their meanings as seen with Xion.
Xion's name comes from “Shion” can also mean “Shio,汐” the Japanese word for “tide".
Tumblr media
This ties with Kairi and Namine's names, in having to do with water. If you write Kairi, Namine, and Xion in kanji all three of their names are related to the ocean. She infers her connection to Kairi and Namine since Xion's appearance is based on Sora’s memories of Kairi.
Tumblr media
Oceans have a lot to do with Xion as a character even in the promotional art: Xion is always pictured at the ocean with a shell on her ear and near an ocean in-game as seen in her dream sequence.
Tumblr media
The Thalassa shell in the promotional art acts as a symbol of Xion's connection to Kairi because Thalassa shells are associated with Kairi.
Tumblr media
Shion can come from “shio-ne,汐音” means the "sound of the tide" in Japanese her name corresponds to “Namine,波音” with Namine’s name meaning "sound of the waves” in Japanese.
Tumblr media
Their names are meant to evoke a sense of nostalgia when read aloud. This association with memories ties into both Namine and Xion for Namine being her memory manipulation powers and Xion's function as a replica to capture memories relating to Sora.
There is a lot of symbolism with water in her name that matches her personality.
The ocean is symbolic of feminine qualities because everything is born from the sea.
the symbolism for water is Compassion, unconditional love, nurture, and care it is used to help and guide others and motivate them to do good. the ocean transition and growth since water is used as nourishment and used to help plants grow. but also the oceans can be stormy which can refer to someone's inner turmoil.
I think this symbolism rings true for Xion in the way that her influence is what causes Roxas to defect from the organization. Xion’s desire to do the right thing is seen best in how she desires to protect Roxas from Xemnas to prevent the organization from using him for their plans. Her decision to sacrifice herself to stop Xemnas and the organization to save Roxas and Sora's cost of memories of her vanishing from everyone highlights this.
Xion’s sacrifice which was underwhelmed by others played a powerful moment in the series; it was later revealed in dream drop distance that Xenmas was planning to put a piece of his heart in the members when kingdom hearts is completed becoming second Xehanorts. Roxas was going to have a piece of Xehanort's heart inside him until he defected. Because of Xion’s sacrifice, she prevented Roxas from being another Xehanort
Besides Roxas, Xion showed the most growth of her character in 358/2 days. She is the first to discover who she is and the organization's true goals before even Roxas.  Xion was the one to drive most of the narrative of kh 358 2 days due to her growth as a character which affects the plot.
Xion harbors a lot of inner turmoil in regards to her existence, coupled with the revelation of her true nature as a replica made to catch Sora's memories and realization that her existence prevents Sora from awakening. She's the one who goes through the most pain in the game.  
Xion is one of the sweetest characters you ever met, she is Kind, innocent, and pure of heart. She has a
caring personality in regards to her friends, as seen in the way she asks Namine and Axel to protect Roxas. Her short story on Axel noted how axel suffered the most shows she cares about him as much as Roxas. Xion suffered the most but she still cared about others. Xion is a pure calm girl even Nomura even states that he made Xion a short-lived pure girl which proves.
Xion is named after a part of the ocean tides, when I researched tide and what it might have to do with her character I found some symbolism that might have something to do with Xion's character. The part on how tides pull things from the shore into the sea refers to her function as a replica of absorbing Sora's memories into herself
The tide rising and falling represents the progression of life and is compared to life and death. High and low tides are used as beginning and ends in narratives this has something to do with Xion's life in 358 2 days with her birth to her death. The game is meant to tell her life and end in the game.
Tides symbolize both joys and sorrows come in and out that both Xion’s life has both happiness and sadness since she went through a lot of turbulence in the story where she lost her ability to use the key blade
her defeat of Riku and was called a sham. Called a mistake by Saix her identity crisis to when she found out that she had a replica made to copy the abilities of the key blade and catch Sora's memories.
tides symbolize renewal and hope loss and dread, hope can infer what she said to Roxas after he was incompleted by Riku her words made us feel hopeful about her revival to what she said to Roxas near the end of 358 2 days. Despite losing her in the game and the dread that comes when others forgot about her when she returned her memories to Sora because of what she said to Roxas. The hopeful feelings we felt when Xion in a way she can remember by others and her revival in KH 3 encapsulates this.
Tides are used as symbols of change with fortune and power rather than decline. The fortune aspect makes sense because the kanji for opportunity is in the translation of the kanji for the tide. Sailors going into sea use tides when they start sailing. Sailors use the tide to see how much fish they caught and how much they can get to earn money since the ocean is stated to be plentiful all depending on the fortune.
The fortune aspect to tides infers to how Xion was shoved through various plot threads in the series with her being reviewed as Xehanort's puppet than later realized joining the guardian's side. Xion suffered the most due to all the events from the story. Xion was swept into the narrative in KH like being caught in a tidal wave without any control over her situation.
The water reflects the sky to how much Sora's memories influence her appearance. Horizon, where the sky and ocean met, is related to how her name has a connection to Kairi and Sora. Roxas is connected to Sora via his nobody. So this symbolism shows the most connected to each other due to Xion having sora memories of Kairi and Roxas being Sora's nobody.
That's a lot of deep meaning to her name that goes with her character, Nomura must have been satisfied with her name because of how this might link to her in different ways.
Xion’s Design:
Finally, I’m going to talk about her main character design, there is so much that goes into it.
Xion's entire design is modeled after Kairi; it is meant to serve to have a deep connection to Kairi; this is seen best in her hairstyle.
Tumblr media
Xion’s hairstyle closely resembles Kairi’s kh1 hairstyle but with a few differences with her hair swished to the left and tucked under her ear instead of red it's black. Xion's hair color is a personal preference from Tomoco her hair color was a request by Tomoco was adamant to have a girl with black hair.
The reason why Xion resembles Kairi is that she has the memories of Kairi that Sora remembers which would explain why she has a Kairis kh1 haircut, not a kh2 haircut that is Kairi that Sora remembers before going to sleep.
Tumblr media
When Axel said she looked like Namine, this is intentional because Namine is Kairi's nobody. Xion's design is based on Kairi besides the hair color. If you look closely you can see Kairi's design in her face and hair. Xion is modeled after Kairi from Sora's memories referencing her function as a replica puppet.
The main reason why Xion resembles Kairi is that Kairi is the girl that Sora treasures a special girl in his heart and this makes Xion a special girl in Roxas’s heart. The girl that he treasures as Sora has with Kairi.
It was even stated by Namine in the novels.

This is very prevalent in the gameplay or better yet in the models, Xion's 3d polygon model's face is the same as Kairi Nomura must have wanted to show this connection in their models in the games as seen in the models. Kairi, Namine, and Xion have the same face model right down to the pixels if you look at the 3d models of Xion, Namine, and Kairi they have the same face but the only difference is in their hair they use the same face model with very slight differences with the hairstyles serve to make the difference glaringly obvious.
Tumblr media
Another thing to note is Xion’s ability to use the keyblade the most obvious is in how she harbors the same keyblade as Roxas.
Tumblr media
Her fighting abilities strongly resemble Roxas and Sora with the same stance.
This is another thing that notes her true nature as a replica created her to absorb Roxas’ power as a key blade welder. I think Xion's having the same key blade as Roxas is obvious to her true nature.
Another interesting function of her design is how Xion's appearance changes depending on who's looking at her.
Xion’s appearance reflects their relationship depending on the person talking to her Xion's appearance varies depending on the person looking at her for instance most of the members of the organization see her with her hood up whereas Saix sees her as a puppet with no face Xigber saw her with her hood up but saw her as even once.
At first, it looks like she wears a hood that hides her face until you get to know her and you begin to see her face.
Another thing to note about her being a replica is how she was designed to have no face until Sora's memories gave her an identity. Her design is symbolic of how people view her appearance changes depending on how others see her as. To the rest of the organization 13 think of her as a tool to her best friends Roxas and Axel they see her as someone important and irreplaceable.
Her design might be the most interesting character design in Kingdom Hearts mainly because of how much goes into her character. Her design captures the themes of both identity and memory very well in Xion’s character.
Someone in a post stated that Xion is a bland character and that's kind of the point: she is someone who is meant to be a blank slate but later gained an identity due to Sora's influence.
I apologize if I ever got anything wrong or misunderstood something about Xion’s entire character design, As I stated before I never did metas on Kingdom Hearts due to how confusing it is. So this meta would come off as convoluted to others. I hope I explained her design to the best of my abilities. I wanted to do a post on Xion first since she's one of my favorite characters and I’m glad that I got to talk about her in this post. I am planning to do Roxas next. So thank you for reading this.

RE:Observations KH Character Files — Part I [OLD POST]
I've been reading some of the Kingdom Hearts Character Files translations and there are two that stand out to me - Marluxia and Xigbar. There is some interesting stuff that I want to address and express some of my opinions on. So, here it goes. Note: This is an update of an old post from last year.
Starting off with Marluxia, his file is mostly him contemplating everything that's happened up to him upon being recompleted. One of the things that caught my eye was the fact he didn't remember his own name, but he does (presumably) remember Strelitzia's name. This brings up some questions about The Ark. Marluxia notes that hearts are made of memories. Since one's heart must be separated for someone to time travel in The Ark, then it's possible that a heart can be irreparably damaged in the process. A damaged heart could possibly result in memory loss with the person only retaining fragmentary links to their past. Add in the fact The Ark is incomplete and you've got a reason for why the Union Leaders lost their memories.
But, let's look at this from a different perspective. Consider the possibility that their memory loss is/was intentional. Think back to what happened with the Dandelions. They all lost their memories and it was intentional. The Dandelions were meant to restore the universe after the war. They weren't in the war so their old memories (the frictions between unions, their lost friends, etc.) weren't needed. Everything that's happening in KHUX parrallels everything that's happened in KHχ and Back Cover. In Marluxia's file he talks about his intense feelings of darkness - notably hatred, pain, resentment and loss. He does state that he's done with letting darkness control him despite the pain he's in. I wonder what that'll mean going forward.
Anyway, onto Xigbar (Luxu). The first part takes pieces from the promo file that was released a while back. However, the part that had me bugging was when he admitted to losing the damn Black Box. HOW?! How do you lose a big ass box like that?! Aside from that, there's something odd about Xigbar's file. You don't notice it until near the end of his recollection of confronting Sora in Olympus. He says something strange - "These kids and their heart-guided Keyblades. I’ve seen more than enough of you go down the path of self-sacrifice and it never ends well". It seems like, and I picked up on this when I first played KHIII, he was trying to steer Sora away from the path he was on and redirect him somewhere else.
There's also the fact he talked about defying fate in the beginning. He didn't imply he was, but pondered what one would do if confronted with impending doom. Then he basically says there's no way to know how the world would end. I think Luxu is just confused about everything at this point. All he knows is what the Master of Masters told him to do. Like the Foretellers, he wants answers which I can understand. The Master of Masters was intentionally vague about everything.
Back to Luxu's line about self-sacrifice. Aside from his hint which flew over Sora's head (because he's a dumbass), that line also alludes to the Union Leaders in KHUX. We already know not everyone is going to make it to the future. If we're to take what Luxu said plainly, then that means someone sacrificed themselves so the others could escape. Ventus, Lauriam, Elrena and Skuld (Subject X) are accounted for. Brain will probably get No Name and he'll most likely be Eraqus's ancestor. That leaves Ephemer. It would explain his appearance in KHIII. He's also the type to do something so selfless too.
Luxu mentions something about connected hearts and guided hearts. Sora falls on the connected hearts side of the heart spectrum. Luxu, the Foretellers and the Union Leaders fall on the opposite side; the guided hearts. What's the difference? What is the underlying message here? Is blindly following your heart naive and foolish? Is relying on your connections to other's hearts selfish and reckless? Is one better than the other? Or are they both bad? I think this is something people should pay attention to. It may be the key to what's to come.

Omori KH Au- Basil and Omori.
So I think I've decided that the whole adventure from Omori's creation to the finale would be over the span of a year and a half.
All of this got very long so it'll be under the cut!
As always, spoilers for Omori!
Some trigger warnings to keep in mind! Let me know if I missed any!
Fighting
Character Death (Somewhat Minor, not any of the Major named characters)
Revenge talk
Kidnapping
Half a year in is when Basil gets kidnapped by Omori and gets taken into black space the realm of darkness and one year is spent on trying to save Basil but also figure out the whole thing with Mari's missing heart.
This serves one of two purposes, Basil is ticking time bomb in a sense, being the only one to know more of what happened that day of the Accident but also refusing to reveal it out of denial and fear.
Second, there is eventually going to be the fight between Sunny n Basil, in the Realm of Darkness. There has to be enough time for Sunny n Basil to be apart for this to hit this hard, as well as Sunny, Aubrey, Kel and Hero to grow more both as people and as Keyblade wielders, while Basil's growth is halted and almost backtracking from the elongated time stuck in the Realm of Darkness.
What happens when Basil gets kidnapped though? This post will explore that and what happened in the realm of darkness.
About half a year into their search for Mari's heart, and Sunny's missing memories, Hero rejoins the party with what he learned. However, they don't get the chance to learn more about Mari or Sunny's situation before they get urgently called back to their home by Polly.
Something has attacked Faraway Town.
They return back home to find it falling to darkness. Polly tells them a boy in a black cloak has unleashed monsters and attacked the town. They evacuated as many people as possible and it turns out Basil's grandma had been holding her ground against the Cloaked Boy.
Basil's grandma was a retired Keyblade Master, but she wasn't nearly as strong enough as she was struck down as soon as the gang arrived.
Basil is shattered, holding on to his grandma as the others make to fight the Cloaked Boy.
This is their first encounter with Omori.
Basil's Grandma tells him to flee this world- but it's too late as the undefeated Omori vanishes from the fight and appears behind Basil, pulling him into darkness before the others can react, injured from fighting Omori.
With her dying breath, Basil's grandma and Hero both seal the town from further destruction before it starts to fall. She fades off, with her dying wish that they all save Basil, before its too late for him.
-
Unfortunately things happen that slow down their process of saving Basil, most notably a way to the RoD. Not to mention that the fall of Faraway town results in their temporary separation. More on this in another post!
-
In the RoD, Basil is alone, Omori vanishing into the void by the time he woke up.
This leads to the start of Basils fall. His heart is ultimately not strong enough to withstand the darkness here, not to mention his nightmares are haunting him, images of Mari, of Sunny, his own words, his self hatred, his fears. They manifest strongly here.
Omori, knows this. His hatred for Basil making him want to punish him. Hence attacking his home, his Grandma, his friends, and then him.
Leaving him alone in the place of his fears is, in Omori's eyes, a fitting punishment for the boy who nearly killed him n left him to die.
At some point though, Omori appears to Basil. Basil is already struggling so hard in the RoD, so he doesn't even hesitate before initiating an attack on Omori.
They fight, Basil yelling that he won't let Omori hurt Sunny anymore, to stay away from him. That he would protect Sunny no matter what it takes.
Omori, he laughs at that, his voice monotonous, dead almost. He mocks Basil, him? saving Sunny? Please. Basil was the one who hurt Sunny to begin with.
Basil is the reason Mari's heart was lost after all. It wasn't Omori. He's not Darkness. He's Sunny's other half.
It's at this point Omori's hood falls. Revealing his face. And Basil...freezes. He cannot attack. Because the face that he saw... it was Sunny's.
The truth shatters Basil. It was his fault .... everything that happened was his fault. He hurt everyone, his grandma, his home, they're lost because of him. His friends, Sunny. Mari. He broke them all apart.
Omori relishes in Basil's despair. He worsens it- telling Basil that his friends won't forgive him, won't save him. He'll be all alone here. This is what he deserves.
All this while though- Omori does tease the others, hinting and almost guiding them to the Realm of Darkness. He ultimately needs to rejoin his heart with Sunny's after all...
The encounter between Sunny and Basil and their fight will in a different post!
Thanks for Reading!

Seon Adventures Episode 38: Bathhouses and Bonds
After a month of travel, successfully retrieving the King’s Blade, Ena, learning who their client is, i. e. Akar’Niel and choosing to learn more about the circumstances of the mass elimination of dwarves and dragonborn on Seon, the party have reached Guan.
Tumblr media
And straight off the bat, no pun intended, the group discover they are followed by an imp. After a quick discussion on whether to take it down or not, Malak stils his hand from sending the denizen of Hell back home, as it approaches the group.
Through a quick inspection of the party, the shape changing critter flies over to Mournimar and delivers the Tiefling Ranger a Sending Stone, of a blue diamond make. After which it does a JoJo pose and poofs.
As stated previously, this was a Sending Stone, allowing someone to cast 2 sending messages a day. But only to the person that has the other one. Rocky Talkies, as Malak puts it. (Or Hayden, I’m not sure. They’re both wholesome and we love them).
Mournimar gets that explained to him and calls the person that gifted it to him. And he hears a familiar voice from the other end say " Well you are alive, then!”. Much to the tiefling’s frustration, he recognizes the voice as that of his ex-boyfriend, Lazarus, follower of Potencia.
Mourni tries to ask what he wants, but instead Lazarus does the “kh-kh” noise (you know the one, where someone does a double pistols and a wink???) and that’s about all the messaging that goes on for that day.
Tumblr media
Again. Much to Mournimar’s frustration.
Malak suggests getting rid of the stone. But Mournimar wants to keep it.
Luck suggests flipping a coin and he even brings one out from his journal bag. But Jun suggests Mournimar hold onto it and in the end, they agree on that.
(Also Mournimar gets a praise from Jun, which makes him feel validated).
The rest of the day passes uneventfully and they carry on, as the ground beneath their feet becomes more and more rocky. WIth the most perceptive in the party taking note that there’s a slight silhouette in the near distance of a town.
Tumblr media
During the night, Belli receives a dream, like everyone else, but Mournimar, before her. As everyone had kept their dreams to themselves, for the following day, the group find themselves walking into a small and cozy town, which Arryn guesses would be Sodinvorg, most likely.
Very different from what the group had been used to so far. In a wasteland such as this (which funny enough is the right temperature for Luctan to feel at straight up at home?!) Sodinvorg’s constructed of tall buildings made out of clay, all painted red, white or red and white. Most split in multiple flats as they can tell from the windows. A variety of people in the windows, mostly Yuan-Ti, Kobolds, Tabaxi and Lizardfolk.
People here know each other and are close, mingling with each other.
Notable locations are the bathhouse, the tavern and the marketplace.
Luctan makes a b-line for the bathhouse, all excited and swept under the positive nostalgia of the enviroment he find himself in, with Jun joining him, all the while Belli would go and buy certain supplies. Cement included for some reason?! And then go to the apothecary.
A pair of young lizardfolk women run the bathhouse, which the pair of Jun and Luck can discern is constructed very intricately and with a style to it. (The place is essentially a roman bathhouse.)
Mournimar woud go to the Rolls and Scrolls place, where one could buy spell scrolls and delicious breads, as advertised, while Malak would check with the antique shop.
Inside the bath house, Jun takes on her mask of a beautiful Drow woman, named Valencia, having noted that there aren’t really any humans in the area.  Valencia is a bit posh. Long white hair in a bun.
As they score themselves a place in the bath, The Disguise Duo enjoy a relaxing bath, unbothered by the cramped and crowded enviroment, as they are  confident about themselves and their bodies.
No juicy gossip in the area and even if there was, a loud comment about Mommy Milkers from another of the patrons would distract the duo.
Tumblr media
Arryn eventually joins the two, but after an unfortunate bomb dive goes wrong, he leaves, as the pool was too shallow for any acrobatics. Luctan’s Healing Word aids him in recovering from at least the physical pain, at least.
The duo have another talk, where Luck learns of Jun’s origins. Though she began her careers in Sa Doma, she was originally from  Elmeria. Which, to say the least, was a neat coincidence, as the party had gotten their initial name there, when asked by Morticia.
Jun would share that, given her race as a Changeling, few doors were truly open for her, as a Shapeshifter in a world that had a bias against them, and so, the bounty hunting life and that of an escort were ones that she could slip into easily. Luck would bemoan her fate, how opportunities were taken from her due to things she couldn’t help. But was glad for her being able to make the best of it.
“When one door closes, another opens”, the two would agree.
Luck would tell her his story, in turn, being candid about the facts, though, naturally, given they were speaking around others, he’d of course avoid using the “H” word as to where he had come from. Besides, the yalready knew about that from the fight at the barn.
Luck would come to a point, admitting that he was unsure what to do with himself now. He was content helping people, but he had no plan on what to do with himself now, when he didn’t take on the rest of his revenge quest.
Jun encourages him to take the time and consider. And she’d admit that conversations weren’t generally something people would approach her for, given her non-violent work ethic.
But Luck would compliment her for her talk, appreciating being able to talk openly with her on matters. Jun would note that he was about the 3rd person to praise her for that.
Meanwhile, at the Rolls and Scrolls, Mournimar spends big money on several rolls and scrolls, making Matiro, the Yuan-Ti’s day with all the cash that comes his way.
Tumblr media
Feather Fall, Aid, Calm Emotions and Find Steed are all bought and paid for by the Ranger, with the latter three being bought for a collective 500 gold.
Furthemore, the tiefling buys 7 loafs of bread, for the party and Arryn.
And then. Before he leaves, Mournimar leaves the man a tip of 5 platinum. And upon leaving, he can distinctly hear the Yuan-Ti scurry off, screaming to a friend: “PHILLIP! I’M IN LOVE!”
At a convergence point, Mournimar gets a gold piece from Jun and a pat on the head. Getting validated by an older female figure boosts his morale. Quite evident from his tail wagging like crazy.
From the calico Tabaxi, Jolly Sunrise, proprietor of “ Happy Belly Rubs “, Belli gets a healing herb, a root that healing potions are made from. 
(It is at this point that we spend 10 minutes on Tabaxi bathroom name jokes. It’s just-you had to be there.)
Jolly makes a “Jolly Secret Rub”, which gives the party 1d8 Temp Hp. Gives special smelling salts, which are used as Spare The Dying as a bonus action. 165 worth. And lastly, upon Belli’s request, she delivers onto the Half-Orc Bard a pair of extra spicy peppers, referred to as “Dragon’s Breath”.
“Don’t give it to halflings. It could genuinely kill them.” she would note.
Tumblr media
Also Belli learns that Jolly has a tiefling brother. Due to his fire resistance, she had learned that these could kill anoyone, without fire resistance. (Though that could’ve been a joke0
After the bread, the party go to the Cozy Leaf. An older tabaxi man, orange and graying around the nose, heads the place. He has a menu. There’s coffee, milk, honey milk. Maple Milk! The man’s name is Leaf On The Water. He has a strange clockwork device playing relaxing music nearby, giving the place a wholesome atmosphere.
His Grandson, an Artificer, built this contraption. Travels and sends new stuff to the old cat.  There’s a stick figure drawing at the counter, drawn by the youngest in the family, his granddaughter. The grandson is taller than him. Grandson is 30. Grand Daughter is 3.
There’s even a portrait that gets showcased of the family. One big orange family. Himself, his three kids and his two grandkids.
Tumblr media
Most of the group, but the bearded ones, get themselves a warm beverage. Honey Milk and Maple Milk.
While the patrty slowly unwind for the day, Belli asks Jun if she has any expertise with chemicals. Interesting enough, the Bloodhunter does have skills with alchemy supplies. And the two work on making  pepper spray. Super. Spicy. Pepper Spray.
Malak find himself buying several items from the antique shop, run by the kobolds Zett and Nix, Red and Bronze respectively.
From the items presented to him, he takes what he could consider lucky charms.
Among them a coin of a strange material, a stone figurine of a snake, as well as a small silver rod with no decoration. It makes a harp noise. Notably,  the rod gives off faint evocation magic.
Before purchasing these, he asks the Kobolds, just to be sure, that they hadn’t pilfered these from any gravesights and the like. They specify that any item they have in their shop has been brought in from families, who found no use for them.
They are established businessmen here. And the price for the collection of items bought is 25 silver. Enough to cover rent for the month.
Malak thanks them in Draconic and leaves after the monetary exchange.
At the end of the day, as everyone prepares for the night’s rest in the tavern, Jun keeps an ear and eye out for gossip, while Mournimar takes a single room for himself (and Morgan).
One, where he has himself his own little dream.
End of Episode.

The Other Side of Reality (SPOILERS FOR KH MoM)
In this post, I’m going to talk about a theory of mine that may not impact our understandings of the KH universe that much but one that I think is important to discuss. I’m not necessarily making hard claims about what is or isn’t happening (such as Kairi being a Chirithy or Xehanort being Riku’s dad), but trying to clarify the stuff happening in between. Warning again: Spoilers for KH MoM ahead!
As I said in a previous post, memories in Kingdom Hearts are almost like the existential glue of reality. They are what ties beings to reality and to their full selves. Nobodies require their memories (at least some of them) to be able to pursue re-completion. Memories can rescue someone from the brink of falling into the darkness (Sora, Aqua, Ventus and Terra). In the absence of memories, one could legitimately fade from existence (Xion being the notable example, and also Sora while he’s in Castle Oblivion).
This all ties into a theory I have about Kingdom Hearts: Melody of Memory’s  basic premise and its connection to Sora’s fate. People have been speculating about what the actual nature of Sora’s disappearance is, especially since Chirithy provided critical details as to the costs Sora incurred at the end of KH3 and Re:Mind. Then we get Apprentice Xehanort (aka Terra-Xehanort) telling us about a “world that’s neither of light and darkness”. Ansem the Wise interprets this to mean a realm that is on the reverse of reality: unreality, or fiction. 
Some believe that this is a meta-comment on Sora’s transportation to a possible proxy for the real world. However, Yozora and the Verum Rex-FF Versus XIII connection make this less likely to me. I found some interesting speculation on YouTube about the latter, namely that Quadratum could be the world of FF Versus XIII repurposed (since it became FFXV, Versus XIII never came to be, hence unreality). Then we have the original epilogue of KH3, where the Lost Masters (minus Ava) return. Where they come from is not known, but as Yen Sid remarks at the end of Melody of Memory, the ancient masters (presumably people in Union Cross, if not only the Masters) had the ability to travel to other realms beyond the universe of Kingdom Hearts.
But what does this add up to for Sora? I believe that Sora has not been erased (as Xion was) and that it is indeed possible for him to return. My theory consists of three connected premises:
Sora still “exists” within the ambit of Kingdom Hearts (the embodiment of all hearts, not the universe; I’m going to use KH as the abbreviation for the latter)
Kairi and Riku both use the power of waking the wrong way
Quadratum exists on flipside of Kingdom Hearts
I’m going to call this the Other Side of Reality theory for convenience (OSR). Without further ado, let’s get into it!
1. Sora exists accessibly
Before anything else, we need to establish conclusively that Sora actually exists in an accessible way (please note my previous post about access to hearts and memories). 
In my previous post on memories, I attempted to show that memories are proof of someone’s existence. Xion is the best example, as she literally disappears from people’s consciousnesses despite the mark she left on many characters like Roxas, Riku and Axel. Sora also similarly vanishes as he progresses through Castle Oblivion, though this is more due to Naminé’s magic than the castle itself. In the strictest sense, Naminé is not eliminating but tangling and obscuring Sora’s memories (and she can only do this to Sora). Therefore, we can say that if someone remembers an individual, that person has and does exist materially and metaphysically.
Sora is clearly not forgotten given that his friends are searching desperately for him. This, all despite Chirithy and Young Xehanort’s warnings about how misusing the power of waking would cost him greatly. In the end, Sora is shown to disappear from the world, but as I theorize, not from existence. Hearts are also the fundamental necessity to exist, which themselves require memories to take form. Sora’s accessibility is demonstrated by the fact that Riku is able to travel to Quadratum through the Nameless Star’s heart-portal.
The notion of accessibility is important, because Kingdom Hearts is the bedrock of reality. Sora cannot be found or even known to exist if Kingdom Hearts does not encompass him in itself. Worlds and beings all arise from Kingdom Hearts, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable to make this claim. Anything in Kingdom Hearts’ sphere of influence (or rather all things that it creates) are accessible by beings within it, which includes those beings themselves. I believe that this is the premise of the power of waking, as one might say that the user “awakens” to the nature of reality through its use. 
This brings me to my next point:
2. Kairi is using the power of waking in MoM, and Riku is too; but both are using it the wrong way
MoM takes place as Kairi traverses her memories of all the events of the Xehanort Saga. It is important to note that this is from her perspective, not a simple recap of everything that has happened in the Kingdom Hearts games to date. We’re explicitly told that this takes place over the year when the Guardians of Light are searching for Sora. 
However, there are potentially some discrepancies here. Many of the events displayed in the cutscenes are not things that Kairi could have personally witnessed (even as a disembodied heart inside Sora). However, if we consider that Kairi’s Nobody, Naminé, is able to manipulate memories connected to Sora’s (a power no other character is known to have), this may make more sense. Because Naminé is her Nobody, I believe that the power of memories is tied to Kairi somehow (since Sora can’t do it), which isn’t outlandish considering she has a unique Nobody despite being a Princess of Heart. Kairi is then traveling the links of memories connected to her, even if they are not her own. Now, what does this sound a lot like? The power of waking. 
The power of waking (PoW) is described by Yen Sid in KH3D as freeing a heart from sleep. However Young Xehanort goes further, describing it as the power to traverse hearts to find worlds, contrasted with traversing worlds to find hearts. Multiple characters, but particularly Young Xehanort, point out that the latter is a “misuse” of the PoW, which Sora does when he rescues his friends in KH3. This is because it is essentially the inverse of the normal PoW, as he rapidly traverses worlds in search of his friends’ hearts and apparently across time. It is stated by Chirithy that the inverted PoW transgresses the laws of nature by altering history.  
Memory Master Xehanort (the apparition in the Final World Kairi encounters in MoM; MMX) says that Kairi’s journey took place across her own memories and her own heart. However, that doesn’t explain why she witnesses events that didn't happen in connection to her (ex. BBS and 358/2 Days). Sora also travels back in time and witnesses events from his friends’ hearts, which makes many important events in the final chapter of KH3 happen. Chirithy even states that this much closer to the true PoW, but still isn’t because he causes an event to happen that wouldn’t have happened otherwise (Kairi remaining whole). If we accept that Kairi traveled across memories and events that didn’t happen to her, like Sora did, it makes sense to suggest that she is also using the PoW improperly (albeit much more safely since she doesn’t alter any events). 
This reveals important information about where Sora is metaphysically because Kairi embarked on her journey under the assumption that Sora’s heart could be found in her memories (and those of others). Chirithy mentions that Sora can only return from the other side of reality through the PoW which would ordinarily suggest that Quadratum is in the Realm of Sleep. However, let us remember that Kairi is using the PoW the wrong way, and was attempting to find Sora but failed to do so. MMX’s statement about where Sora is suggests that the version of the PoW Kairi was using was the right one but not in the right place. 
This brings us to Riku, who travels to Quadratum to find Sora. Quadratum cannot be in the Realm of Sleep because it is implied by Ansem the Wise to be on the other side of reality, at the exclusion of the worlds of data, dreams and memories (as well as of darkness, nothingness and light). Therefore, Riku isn’t using the ordinary PoW to reach Quadratum. He seems to successfully arrive in Quadratum after using the PoW through the Nameless Star. Even though he’s using the heart-portal of the Nameless Star, he is also traveling across the boundary of reality and unreality to find Sora’s heart. He is deliberately using the PoW the inverted way to find Sora. 
The million-dollar question is: where is that? My claim is essentially that Sora must return through his novel, “inverted” use of the PoW, which is why Kairi and Riku were using it the way they did. 
3. Quadratum and the flipside of Kingdom Hearts
This may come across as the most bizarre part of my theory, but bear with me! I believe that Quadratum is located on another side of Kingdom Hearts, not unlike the allusions to Roxas being the other side of Sora’s heart in Re:CoM. 
Despite the numerous attempts to summon and control Kingdom Hearts’ power, we never actually witness what it is. Not even in KH1, where Ansem SoD vainly calls to Kingdom Hearts to fill him with the power of darkness. That door in the abyss of the End of the World is the Door to Darkness, a gateway to the Realm of Darkness. It seems that Kingdom Hearts shined its light from within, perhaps as the manifestation of the hearts lost in the depths.
But we are left without any clues as to what Kingdom Hearts might be, other than the collection of all hearts that exist. It manifests as a heart-shaped moon, though likely as a representation of the greater reality. It seems most accurate to say that Kingdom Hearts is the “heart” of existence, through which any of the realms may accessed. This is the reason it can be witnessed in the Realm of Light and Nothingness, and why Xehanort believes it can grant the ability to literally unmake and remake the universe. 
Quadratum is anchored to Kingdom Hearts in a realm of its own, precisely because it can be accessed through the inverted PoW. That anchoring is clearly demonstrated by the fact that Sora still exists throughout the various realms as the chain of memories that bind him to his loved ones is intact (and that he can project his “voice” across the boundary to fight MMX for Kairi). Just as the Realm of Darkness, Nothingness, Memories, Data and Sleep all require special means to be entered (and conversely, this is true of re-entering the Realm of Light, as seen in KH2′s ending), Quadratum’s own realm can only be accessed by the inverted PoW.
Clearly this realm is special, not being accessed ordinarily by the PoW and Sora needing to disappear to go there. However, it’s not as if no one knew about it. Xehanort apparently was aware that it might exist, and Yen Sid’s comments about the ancient masters suggest that the Lost Masters could freely travel to it by special means. It even seems that the Lost Masters were sent into hiding  as Luxu mentions in KH3 Secret Reports 12 and 13. In Secret Report 12, Luxu writes that the “The Lost Masters will awaken” (emphasis added). 
This suggests the Lost Masters are dormant or otherwise sequestered, perhaps not totally free to traverse from their present positions to the Realm of Light or other realms for that matter. This is suggested by the fact that Luxu summons the Lost Masters, which indicates he has the power to beckon to beings across realms, like the Master of Masters (who appears in the alt-Shibuya in which Riku and Sora find themselves). 
The Lost Masters’ unreachability by most characters in the main realms further points to a connection between Sora and the Lost Masters’ conditions. That said, I’m not necessarily suggesting that the Lost Masters’ used the inverted PoW themselves, though this is possible seeing as Ava “didn’t make it”. The Lost Page of the Book of Prophecies may have something to do with it, as Luxu states that he disclosed his own role to Ava, which prompted her to take action of her own. This could mean Ava is on the move elsewhere, or has perished in the conclusion of her own role. On a related note, the reappearance of the Lost Masters in the ending of KH3 is the second reason that Quadratum must be in a unique realm, as time flows differently between realms and none of the foretellers aged (from what we can tell). Similarly, Aqua didn’t age at all despite spending ten years in the Realm of Darkness.  
If all the known realms are existentially anchored to Kingdom Hearts, the nature of Quadratum becomes more plausible. 
Concluding thoughts
Only time will tell whether or not Quadratum is going to be the start of a more Square-Enix-leaning KH multiverse with more Final Fantasy characters. Although Nomura might have gone and dashed this idea by saying NEO TWEWY and KH3′s ending aren’t connected at all. 
Personally, I have a head-canon where FF characters in KH are in fact from across the boundary and that their appearances and forms are changed in the process of coming to the KH universe. 
This is a working theory, and there’s stuff I still need to learn/incorporate from KHUx Dark Road, so that’s all for now! Hope this theory interests some people!

I haven’t been around in ten thousand years anyways because anybody who follows my main blog can see I’ve just been unable to stop thinking about Anakin Skywalker anyways so let’s talk those Dark Road screenshots.
Tumblr media
So we are going to get the stuff that happened before KH3D. Seeing Ansem talking to Xehanort gives us a rough idea of what’s happening here and what’s on the other side of this portal. I don’t have a lot to add here just that I’m excited to see that it’s not going to get ignored.
Tumblr media
I dismissed this screenshot at first as not super interesting since it’s just the introduction to Xehanort and Eraqus being friends in Scala and when I first skimmed I didn’t really care. Now I do because of the dialogue box. “What was it like on the other side of the ocean?” is interesting to me for a lot of reasons. Logical thought is this is very early game and other side of the ocean is kind of like code for “off world” since the main city in Scala is basically surrounded by water but like...what if Scala is connected to DI? Or the other side of the ocean relates in part to Xehanort’s heart. Could be interesting and mean more than we know.
Tumblr media
I love them more than life itself and if anything happens to these kids I’ll kill everybody in the room and then myself. I’m not gonna break down their names since a few people have already searched for the meaning in their names so anyways. I’ll talk about the screen shot first and then the kids themselves.
So Hermod and Bragi are just kinda chilling in the background. While Urd and Vor are at the table so there isn’t a lot to say. I think this is going to be early game, likely their in game introduction, and they’re waiting on Eraqus and Xehanort to show up. Their relationship is likely going to be a friendship/rivalry kinda deal where they help each other while showing the others up and then later go eat smores around a campfire. It’ll probably be cute. Now let’s address the group themselves.
First of all the fact that we’re getting a KH character connected to nobody is probably the most refreshing thing ever. Thank you Nomura I feel blessed.
Second I think most of this cast is dead dead. Vor is the only one I think that makes it out alive, because I am very impartial to the “Vor is Kairi’s Grandmother” theory since it’s another one of my wild theories I thought up back in high school (Kairi’s grandma being a friend to Xehanort and Eraqus) and she just kinda has Kairi vibes that are difficult to explain. It just feels very likely. I think aside from Eraqus, Urd is probably gonna be the closest to Xehanort (the silver hair and outfit aesthetic is the main reason I’m thinking this though so take it with a grain of salt) and I think the group’s going to, in part, lead to Xehanort’s descent into darkness.
(I would like to disclaimer Anakin Skywalker has stolen my one brain cell and won’t give it back so this might just me projecting my favorite boy into Xehanort’s arc now that he has more friends than Eraqus. We’ll see.)
Also theorizing one of them also kinda gets taken by the darkness before Xehanort and that becomes a story arc but that’s just me being indulgent in what I want and me just having a bit of spit balling on them because if they are rivals hostility between them could lead to this. I also think it’s gonna be either Urd or Bragi.
Finally based on the initial pictures: Hermod is likely the levelheaded leader, Vor is the cute baby, Bragi is gonna be a cocky, snarky one, and Urd...I don’t have a read on Urd from her picture. She seems calm and collected but not in a leader way more of a “I know what I’m doing” way.
The rest of the screenshots are just pics from the worlds and gameplay so I don’t have too much to add but:
Tumblr media
I do want to talk about a little detail in these battle screen shots, specifically
Tumblr media
I want to talk about the Keyblade all of the Dark Road squad have been shown to use since it’s an interesting little one. Notably, the Keyblade looks like a mix between two already known Keyblades:
Tumblr media
Starlight
Tumblr media
And Master Defender (which I only learned today is not called Master Keeper.)
Anyways the guard shape of the new Keyblade is much more similar to Master Defender, but shares references to the Kingdom Key style hilt of Starlight. Further more the teeth are an E with a small star in it, and the colors are very much reminiscent to Starlight’s colors.
Part of me thinks this means it might be a baby form of Master Defender, but given that Keyblade’s legacy it is pretty interesting for all of them to start off using a Master Defender esque Keyblade. I’d like to see them start using unique Keyblades as the game goes on that are more personal to the cast, but given that I think most of them will die I wouldn’t be surprised if the fact that they’re using a proto-Master Defender is hinting to that fact. If it’s possible that the reason Eraqus gets his big shiny version is because he’s the only one who was qualified enough to earn it, either because of the failures or deaths of his friends.
I don’t have a lot else to add based on the information we have so far (aside from the fact that I’m groaning over the thought of returning to Agrabah and Wonderland, Square tell me why those worlds) but you can definitely color me curious on where Dark Road is going now.

“Kingdom Hearts II” revisited, Part VI
On the one hand, I can understand how something like this could slip under the radar, as it’s a small point; on the other hand, that small point can make a big difference, depending on who you are. It matters less to me, as I’ve played the game before, but it still bothers me: why would the Secret Ansem Report you get after the retreat from Hollow Bastion give away the name “Radiant Garden?”
In any event - the second pass at the Disney worlds is considerably shorter than the first. I had forgotten how zippy this stage of the game could get. In a way, I suppose that’s a bit of a missed opportunity to let the Organization show their stuff a little, but this game is plenty long as it is, so I can’t say that I fault them for that. As it is, I think the second pass is slighter than the first on content...but it’s also better in how it spaces that content.
Before we get into each of the worlds, though, I want to touch on the concept of “filler.” Whether it’s worlds in the Kingdom Hearts series, non-manga-inspired episodes of Dragon Ball Z, non-League related episodes of Pokemon, or even individual scenes in a movie, there’s a fairly common attitude that treats any and all filler as automatically bad - that anything not immediately germane to the central plot is a flaw. I’ve never understood this line of thought. The “filler” episodes of Gohan surviving alone during the Saiyan Saga are a highlight of the DBZ anime. All my favorite Pokemon episodes are “filler.” Filler is only a bad thing when it takes up too much time, distracting or undermining the larger story. But when it’s well-placed and well-paced, it can be as good as any plot-centric episode, and can even enhance the greater story through unexpected means.
I said in Part IV that I can understand how this game got the reputation for the Disney worlds being filler based on the back half of the first pass, but thinking more about, that isn’t technically true. I can still certainly see how those worlds would give that impression, because the story falls into a repetitive stall, but technically, things related to the main story do happen - Pete and Maleficent try to rebuild their forces, and get thwarted. That this was done in the way it was, with so little variety, cost the story a sense of progression even as nominally important events, like Disney villains being turned into Heartless, took place. By contrast, the second pass on the Disney worlds has more true filler. But because it’s shorter, and because there’s more variety in how things play out in the respective worlds, the overall effect is much more pleasing to my narrative instincts, even if it falters a little at the end.
As it did in the first pass, the Land of Dragons follows naturally from the set-up immediately preceding it (assuming that you play through the worlds by villain level.) In this case, Sora has finally learned the plan of Organization XIII - let the Heartless run amok, then harvest the hearts released when the Keyblade slays the Heartless. Since lives will be in danger if he does nothing, Sora has no choice but to keep fighting. And, when the player arrives in the Land of Dragons, this is exactly what we see illustrated. I know that some people object to how brief Xigbar’s appearance is, but I don’t see how that’s a problem. The Organization’s plot is established by this point; one can easily assume that Xigbar is in the Land of Dragons to further that plot. By the end of the level, that’s confirmed; he was turning dragons into Heartless. And just as Xaldin was teased in the first pass at the Beast’s Castle without getting into a direct scrap with Sora, Xigbar here is given some build-up ahead of his role later in the game - and, by succeeding in making a Heartless, and leaving his Nobodies behind to fight, he avoids coming off as ineffectual, the way he did during the Organization’s first appearance to Sora in Hollow Bastion.
What’s more, the Land of Dragons is arguably more concerned with bringing Riku back into the plot. At this point in the game, we have just seen him leave the ice cream and photo for Sora, but to actually show him taking a personal hand in trying to keep the worlds safe is a significant step. A case could be made that this should have happened earlier in the game, but Riku’s absence from the first pass is a concept that’s grown on me as I’ve gone on playing. There’s a real impact to his finally turning up in a Disney world at this late stage, and I like that Sora was 1. not made arbitrarily stupid for the sake of “mystery,” and actually recognized Riku right away and 2. did have a moment of doubt and confusion about Riku’s alliances. Plus, there’s a great comedy bit derived from all this too: “He was rather rude.” “Then it WAS Riku!”
From there, we have the Beast’s Castle and Port Royal - two worlds, back-to-back, that feature members of the Organization taking a very direct hand in the events playing out, more than any other Disney worlds. It’s Xaldin and Luxord doing the honors, and they are a perfect example of what I’ve meant when I’ve said in the past that Organization XIII works better as a concept and a collective than as individual members. I’ve never meant that in a pejorative sense; what I mean is that it’s the group, the monolithic unit of the Organization as a whole, that is the antagonist of KH II. Xemnas may be their leader, and Xehanort its instigator, but they are a hive mind when it comes to the goal: collect stolen hearts to get hearts for themselves. The individual members shown in KH II don’t really have their own agencies beyond serving that goal, except for Axel, and they aren’t very fleshed out as individuals. Xaldin is just as one-note and empty of personality as Zexion and Lexaeus were in CoM (though gifted with a much better English VA), and Luxord’s gaming sensibility (and Demyx’s incompetence) are only a slight step above that. But they don’t need to be any more defined than they are, because they’re 1. Nobodies devoid of hearts (at this point in the series anyway) and 2. cogs in the wheel that is Organization XIII. Unlike the Organization members we meet in CoM and R/R, they aren’t commanding huge chunks of screen time to blather repetitively among themselves - they appear when the story needs them to, and no more. They provide gradually greater challenges for Sora in combat, creating a boss battle ladder to climb until Xemnas is reached, and also help build up the scale of threat that Organization XIII really poses to Sora after being absent for so long in the first half of the story. It’s video game logic applied to story, and very effectively so IMO.
For some people, the limited screen time of characters like Xigbar, Luxord, etc., and the lack of backstory for them, is a flaw in this game. It should be obvious by now that I don’t share that complaint. For one thing - we are given backstory for Organization XIII, just not an excessive amount of it. And why should there be any more to than what the vanilla version of the game provides in gameplay and Ansem Reports? How much backstory did we get on Jafar in Aladdin, Ursula in The Little Mermaid, or Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty? The story functions well without excessive backstory for the villains for many reasons - chief among them that it isn’t a story about them. This isn’t the tale of dark protagonist Xehanort, falling into darkness and continuing on as the Nobody Xemnas to try and regain a heart. KH II is a point in the series where the staff still clearly remember who the protagonists are, and KH II is a story of resolution for their stories begun in KH I. It’s the resolution of Riku’s struggle toward redemption, begun at the end of KH I and continued through R/R before reaching its climax here; it’s resolution for Donald and Goofy’s quest to find King Mickey, and Mickey’s quest to set the worlds to right; it’s a resolution for Kairi, left alone with fading memories at the end of KH I but determined to set out and find her friends again; and it’s resolution for Sora, recovering his powers and his whole self after the events of CoM while slowly confronting what became of his Nobody in that year, and finally finding his way home after his long journey. At the risk of sounding pretentious, it’s the Odyssey to KH I’s Iliad, and Organization XIII are the cyclopses, sirens, and witches. I don’t need - or want - detailed backstories on them when the story I’m engaged in concerns the people they’re getting in the way of.
(I also think it’s notable that Xaldin hasn’t really been pushed aggressively as a major character since KH II. His brief appearances in later games don’t even attempt to expand his personality; by contrast, Zexion/Ienzo, Vexen/Even, Marluxia, and Larxene’s revivals are treated as much bigger deals, but in all the time we’ve spent with them past their supposed deaths, and for all the background and lore given to them, there’s been no appreciable expansion on their personalities. They’re all still playing the same one or two notes they had in the first place, with the only difference being that their presence is disproportionate to their role in the story and their ability to justify their screen time with personality.)
With that rant finished: the same problems with the wording of the dialogue as the first pass plague Beast’s Castle still, and Belle and the Beast remain too far down the road to romance given the nature of their ticking clock. There’s also a huge lapse in logic - the idea that Belle wouldn’t have been told, by the servants if not by the Beast, about the rose. But I do like how direct a continuation this world is from the first pass. Xaldin’s efforts to make the Beast a Heartless were fleshed out more than Maleficent’s and Pete’s were at any point, and the growth in the Beast’s character during the second pass is nice. Belle’s passivity compared to her movie counterpart is made up for (somewhat) by her quick jab and rescue of the rose. And I managed to beat Xaldin on my first try, without being reduced to Last Hope even once! (One minor nitpick about this world’s second pass, though: if Jack can keep his Santa suit in gameplay, why can’t the Beast keep his ball outfit?)
Port Royal is a massive improvement from the first pass. It’s amazing what loosening the shackles of the source material can do for this series. As brief as it is, it’s a creative way to use an element from the movie, and the first pass of the game, in the Organization’s plans, and it has a lot of great little character beats. I like Jack referring to Luxord and the others as “Organizers;” I like Sora’s prank on Jack with the Keyblade (levity with Sora done right - take note, future series entries); I like Peter Pan turning up as Summon in this of all worlds (I’d completely forgotten he was a Summon, so that was a nice surprise; it did occur to me after I found him that Summons don’t have a story justification here the way they did in KH I - a minor, and possibly inevitable, retcon); and I like seeing Sora show signs of weariness from his journeys. You could argue that his getting teary-eyed at seeing Mulan and Shang together was an earlier sign of this, but here, it’s made explicit. Though I don’t know why he had to cover his feelings with silliness; in KH I, Sora has no problem expressing doubts, exhaustion, and longing.
Another nice touch in Port Royal’s second pass is the way that it gets started - with Elizabeth declaring that she doesn’t want to sit around waiting anymore, and wants to go out and find Will. Because that couple had prompted thoughts of Kairi in Sora earlier in the game, it’s very natural to make the thematic connection between Elizabeth’s actions and Kairi’s here without anyone explicitly commenting on it. This is the way to tie related but distant story elements together. It isn’t necessary - or desirable - that every connection is called out for what it is, but doing it once or twice strengthens the overall effect when later moments pass unremarked upon. It’s a lesson KH III failed to remember, as the only time a connection between Sora and Kairi and the ill-fated Disney couples is made happens after everything Disney has already passed.
Just having the order of the worlds mixed up slightly gives the second pass some variety, but even more comes in Olympus. This is a world largely concerned with its own internal story, tying up the loose ends from the first pass. But the moment when Sora encounters Nobodies in Hades’ layer, only to be saved by Heartless, is a very nice - and subtle - way to keep the greater story in mind. We never learn what those Nobodies are up to specifically, which Organizer sent them, or what set the Heartless to attack them - but their presence means that Sora (and the player) can’t forget that Organization XIII’s plot is never far, even when it isn’t front-and-center. Olympus also demonstrates how to incorporate Final Fantasy material properly, thanks to Auron’s brief flashes of memory - they’re short, and they’re tied into what’s going on in the story instead of distracting from it.
Agrabah is almost as subtle in the way it handles the Organization - an unseen member orchestrates Jafar’s release, on the hope of making him a Heartless. It’s a slight role for them, but a different sort of slight role than they had in Olympus. This is where the variety counts for something compared to the first pass; if not a whole lot is progressing in the plot, at least things play out in a different way in each world. My problems with Agrabah’s second pass are all to do with the world on its own terms; I find the controls for the carpet riding a little wonky, and the world has the opposite problem to many later ones in that it gives the Disney hero nothing to do with defeating the villain while Sora does all the work. The resolution with Iago is nice, though, and I’m sorry this series never closed things out on Agrabah with a King of Thieves adaptation.
It’s only when we arrive at Halloween Town that I think a Disney world (on the main World Map, with combat) can truly be said to be all filler. No one from Organization XIII is present, no schemes take place behind the scenes; the only story here concerns the local Disney characters. And with the beat of him being excited to see Santa played out, Sora ends up without anything to do - he’s along for the ride with Jack. However, even with that, I would say that the second pass on Halloween Town is how to do filler right in a video game like this, because this side excursion has plenty of thematic significance. Dr. Finklestein’s puppet doing bad things out of a desire for a heart is the whole of Organization XIII writ small, and gives a preview of the pathos to come with them. And of course, Sora is once again reminded of Kairi in an adorable closer for the world.
Sadly, the last in the line-up is Pride Lands, and I was once again disappointed by this world. Taken as a whole, it’s probably the weakest of them, not counting Atlantica. That’s a huge shame, because it’s such a wonderful idea for a KH level, for many reasons. Besides being derived from one of the best and most popular Disney films, and offering great form changes, taking Summons from the first game and expanding on them in the sequel - treating them as true characters, who remember Sora and their adventures with him - was a beautiful concept. And it works so well in the Land of Dragons, even as Mushu gives way to Mulan as Sora’s chief point of contact. But Pride Lands just couldn’t pull it off. Here on the second pass, the Scar ghost makes for an intriguing idea made laughably underwhelming in execution, and the final Heartless boss is disconnected from any story content within that world or the larger plot. This is filler done wrong, and the best I can say for it is that it gave Sora more of a role than the first pass did - seeing him employ reverse psychology was fun.
(I might as well touch on the two optional worlds - true filler if there ever was any - while I’m here. I still think the 100 Acre Wood was needlessly shoved into the flow of the story during the first half, and the concept is still repetitive from the first game, but I have softened a bit from my earlier stance that it shouldn’t have been brought back at all - the minigames are a lot of fun, even if the world doesn’t quite pack the emotional punch it did in KH I. Atlantica, on the other hand, remains a colossal disappointment. I had forgotten just how much it forgets and/or ignores from KH I once Ursula shows up - logic is out the window at that point, the way Ariel and the others react to her. Her song is the worst of the bunch, and Ariel isn’t even involved in fighting her this time.)
I’ll go ahead and close on Hollow Bastion, and the second pass at Space Paranoids. Once again, we have some variety here. This time, it comes in the form of cross-cutting - cutscenes of Leon racing around preparing things juxtaposed with Sora’s gameplay inside the system. The only other time in the series I remember cross-cutting being this effective was in juxtaposing Aerith’s briefing of Donald and Goofy in Traverse Town with Leon and Yuffie doing the same for Sora in KH I. And there is an absolutely wonderful moment where Cid and Merlin finally come to a head (“OLD loon, you say!?”) It was another of those delightful bits that I’d forgotten about, and it only underscores how mistaken an idea it was to abandon this little unit in favor of “original” characters. When has Ienzo ever shown this kind of chemistry and interplay, with anybody?
But I do have to close on a negative this time. There are some nitpicks to be had with the second pass at Space Paranoids, such as Sora being more awkward about hugs than a computer program. There are legitimate story issues, such as the lack of good reason for the system going screwy. And there are missed opportunities - one of them related to that last point. Xemnas, or another of the ex-apprentices, could have been responsible for setting that off, which would have gotten Organization XIII involved in the last world right before the home stretch.
Less detrimental to this story, but more detrimental in the long run to the series overall, is the fact that the reveal about Hollow Bastion once being Radiant Garden doesn’t yield any revelations about the tritagonist of the series who came from said gardens. Kairi’s past is the one loose end from KH I that this game won’t end up resolving, and the series has never properly addressed it. Ansem SoD, possessing Riku, seemed to know her, and declared her “Princess” in no uncertain terms; one could infer from that that he knew her. The Final Mix of KH I would reveal that he deliberately selected her for an experiment to find the Keyblade. That this is all we’ve ever gotten - and that backstory concepts that might have suited her were given to other characters - is ridiculous. This game, if not the exact moment when Tron reveals the name Radiant Garden, was possibly their best chance to rectify this, and they blew it.

Each race is good on their own so we need to create small nations 4 each. Sometimes if u see a certain race man talking it guide ya to leave Africa cause the whites wanna be here again and majority love to be served by them to feel good and police arrest after u show them rudeness, kinda, brings joy than polite life with free food and goods put on credit to enjoy economies of scale and create bad credit for such to be enslaved again as they cannot buy again anything. PETROLEUM will still surface if gasoline gadgets are made cheap like half price 4 many to buy, so don’t just laugh bro

The above links rep how to reach the mars or venus but in 7 month distance, to avoid timer malfunction that changes the current to the next cylinder coz the 1st 1 to hot to burst, they put them like 3-5 set at the same time in a parallel connection in that if 1 burns up to discontinue the current flow that would lead to saucer falling the others still do and at the same time the pilot can still control the same with switches.
Lindi, TZ was where Jesus changed water to wine long b4 the green man left Europe and they went to Europe and shortly again they left America 4 Venus then the white men moved to America.
Let the nation be built on its pace or reduce population 4 the resources to fit people once all loopholes have been blocked. Tz people are the once causing strife in the nation that they save putting them in others food that they are building Tanzania. Stop dude U r poor and accept the fact Germany or Canada is rich than u out of all explained in tumblr a/c following this tumblr.
One dot bar code machine putting that code on cash at central bank and the money censoring machine is made in such way to sense that. They can make fake cash those in Govt and do the same bro. Comphonecash does it, inaeweza, nyale, or curbs such dude period.
Angel Gabriel was Railamolodinga then, in marys house when sleeping, like people transfigure to any race did the same to be a white-man and switched the light on marys room and told mary u will be pregnant of a son when previously had done the same when she was not away put sperms in the syrange in a cold ice small cooler and when mary was deep asleep like lazurus took 1 syrange with a che3mical that makes 1 to fall a sleep like in  a minute and below the mattress had took out the better part of that mattress to make a bwol like hole only small part left to rich the top and that’s the position he used to inject Christ mother with b4 getting out of under the bed and again impregnating Mary with the sperm on the syringe to make her pregnant. Mary remembered the occasion later but thought it was a middle on the bed. B4 she could stand and check the mess he was down as overwhelmed by the drug, dude the whole truth, what do u want folks. Jesus was born in a ranch bro get it straight!!! It was planned and Mary had loose nuts was not that normal bro!!!
When folks have an eye on ya u don’t grow up in size, bible Mathew 5 an eye 4 an eye or a teeth 4 a teeth to cement reality bro.
By drinking milk from a cup but putting it like 30 cm from the mouth to pour out like water fall as well is another method of making gadgets. People who love traditions are always monitored and denied entry to nations, cause always they want to be 1st or destroy other races, know that people. Reasons to why u don’t get green-card and white-men looking 4 that. The Masai character is a blessing in disguise and a teaching to people who want big booty women like Russians to quit coz they are good on their own not in another tribe lest u go to hell cause u got the prophet.
The city which kills the dream of the prophet, Wichita, Minneapolis or Amsterdam, can be another version, it will be more tolerable to Sidon and tire than it, people will burn as u see, kinda, head lit on fire with burning hair or they grow mad or 1 eye pops out.
They now got dirty tricks of wanting people to leave food in a restaurant then they put it on water if it has like source then put on microwave to dry up then sold to them at lunch time in 70% removed price, people fear them yet its left overs like Christ with feeding 4-5 thousand people. People discard ya food to fund hooliganism and they create beef with ya if u fail to leave yours bro

Click the links above and see how fake money is detected, though you have known how to make cash using human brain with coins, guava etc and with notes, strawberry, kales, carbage etc, they will still show fake under the above machine in that where the money is made like in Kenya Delaru they sprinkle something extra on top to bridge the difference like maize seed or just cereals to read real money which with yours if u fail its fake and that’s the gimmick. Those who still with the govt can still do with making fake money, so the way to go is eliminating liquid cash and putting it on comphonecash bro period. So got to know how many seeds that must be sprinkled on that vegetable used to make money to enable ya money pass the fake/real money test, so u cant but must be told by those involved in the money making as grapevine is a everyday reality after long time bro. So take heed never relenting bro!!!! Go back to ya nation period Mr Hindu or Italian. Or just a liquid being poured on top and which 1 in what amount dude, Got to know dat bro.
Chirombero in ksm was the tomb where John the baptized was cremated if near their ya lips grow big and Christ was born in Lilongwe as the name Capernaum or Lake Galilee and John was not arrested in Rome but in Lilongwe, lost coin and little kid to cement de trut. They love lake cities the Naphtali tribe b4 they went again to Europe and distributed tribes again. Africans go slow 4 the truth to be told or known, don’t know a lot and its all true lies bro
With that little u can get started, friends you have not heard me that with me little cant start with me, u wanna put up a fight, wanna force me with marriage, then well and good, am die a bachelor, u wanna box me still, dude, what do you want with me, I don’t wanna leave kids behind in this dirty world.
At the end of the turnel u see people being give guns as hurled to them from a source esp in Uganda, Gambia, Togo, countries at least with understanding not pro-white none-sense meaning as well the gadgets matches those of Europe or N-America, this signal war and u see the white men in Africa walking inspecting vehicle originality and they came to it, so if u watch soccer they relent as in want to be like Negros that their cash they share many people. That’s to ya good and we wanna know dat not, ya problem. Now they wanna stop saying African food don’t spoil the mind like previous not knowing what they read have been given to or copy pasted from another source. Whiteman don’t be fooled but hold ya stand period.

The chairs in the link above if u see some1 working in the office u resort to belittling them, why? They instill the negative fear of people who thwart peoples destiny and lovers of shiny bright things and bright kids r never loved coz the pretend to know alot than their ages to the point of belittling the elders.
I was treated good when sick in the hospital, friends it was milk on milk, I mean milk after milk.
This that changes ya character that upset people and u know not, drinking cold water, buying socks and vests every now and then. They make u insane or rude and u know not like Us blacks. Tissue papers are made with cotton wool in a container where many spit saliva or urinate on the offering while cassava as well is used to make automated security padlocks or just locks.
They say if u love free cheap things u might land up in hell, yes its true, even with harvesting rain water, but u got the remedy saying they had put nuts on ya belly that rot to give ya chronic tetanus and rain water eliminates such and that’s the reason 4 harvesting it, Friends don’t know a lot in this life yet you know less or not. Stop cashing into others affair, mind ya own business  bro.
By ng'amruok many women like in a circle with the offering  like hay, wool or chaff in the middle as well makes gadgets. Kuchora saba sana, making ya legs apart at reflex or obtuse angle make even houses like in the link below with garbage as the offering

With the above slams will be casted into junk heap of yesterday and every family will be able to live in a descent sanitary house.
When achieving justice, sometimes if u walk, kinda, u see like some1 or wind  pushing ya esp ya hand and back to the point u feel a touchy hand pushing u like a friend has done previously to show understanding and defeat of ya enemies bro. Get this straight on ya mind dude!!!
Get somewhere to hustle even if ya job has been  redeemed useless by new cameras and wireless alarm systems, don’t walk  around wanting good life to get into people houses to eat that you are  looking 4 precious food  job. Suffer bwana, don’t say u know how to look 4 things yet we got  wireless camera so u wanna say they rob u, your  dignity. Grow up and Mr Hindu and Uhuru, stop sponsoring this guys. In  the corridor they want  to like fight ya with their knife or eject the  arrow 2 hurl u with.
Woe to that city built on the hill, it will  be more tolerable than tire  and Sidon than that that kills the prophet,  John the Baptist was  transported from Rome to Mombasa and beheaded at  Fort Jesus. Will it  slide into see, women with Barabbas to cement the truth, sycamore tree  with zaccheaus
https://biblehub.com/luke/10-14.htm
So they killed Malcolm x in ny to say he was a prophet yet his writings he was  given in jail, same to Gandhi and MLK in Memphis- Raila was the 1 who  transfigured to the White X-military man and shot him, sharp shooter.
To take their wives as bible promise means they good women that bring  forth good behaved kids not disturbing ones, like Christ alluding with  fig tree. Most whites are kikuyu blooded bringing  disturbing kids and  many. Cut island men bring kids who disturb when have married other  women but the women when married good men bring good  kid, so I think it was cut island as the take their wives and they are  also found in  Florida, USA. Worker and vineyard parable to cement the  truth.
When grabbing ya manhood is an alt they start moving next  to ya in a bend  posture with their head down as if cleaning the dirt as  if you are  filthy yet some seconds ago wanted ya food, the greek blooded men as  many cut islanders got that blood. The luo are tolerated to give  greekamba, Mexican people curse and that’s the plan. They have more   stubborn bro!!!
No arab will dwell there, how? I think by the   slogan, there will be no arab means they will have been finished on   their dirty games of prostitution, making fake money, putting Arafat as  if they will not fall and no money to buy food as E-machines will have  declared gas redundant bro

https://www.messianic-torah-truth-seeker.org/Fundamental/Salvation-PT1/yismael.html
The promise to Arab above was just written, the whites thought that Arab   will not be finished as they never thought of oil being redundant   period, as finished with E-vans, buses, vehicles as you can Google that.

People who pride themselves after long became stubborn, they still wanna live large yet their dubious ways to dat life has been removed, better cut ya coat to ya size, scale down ya wants like the kisii people, Minnesota  thing everyday wid bank statement issue, following them to no good.
The devol will be hurled down 4 deluding the nations not on earth but in   hell from heaven out of the sermons by mlk purporting that it is his   after a coin is put in the palm of the hand to see the truth as well as  Nobel peace price in oslow by mlk and we are here where do we go from   here speech
https://biblehub.com/revelation/12-9.htm
The  white people and Nigro hide this as well they were not mlk things and   he risk being taken to hell and any1 claiming things which aint his bro.
The Burma people want some1 in the wife or hubby presence in his friends,   which if u fail they give ya names but if u accept can cut u with panga  or wanting to come and eat in ya house but its a signal of good things  to ya if that happens. The beauty is that they are few and we wanna  deal with them as identify that bad blood. They are jealousy of  progress,  never wanting people things but use dat trick bro which is  sickening to  the point of bringing their kids, usually they live a lazy lifestyle of  not knowing how they get their money. Some nija and hindu got this sad  character. They monitor those who can put food on table  and start  bothering them. It shows relief
Why do we go to  church? Now they  wanna say, dem pastors, since life has been made  cheap, we wanna  encourage young men to get partners to marry to  facilitate procreation  to add the offering in our bag but online cash  is handy to eliminate the monitored liquid cash. Online cash can be  phonecash or compcash, we  wanna pray 4 important men to gain fertility  and that’s our church duty, come bro
If u sleep with women as  prostitute with ya tribe blood u risk going to hell that’s why u r  encouraged to investigate, if any, so u quit u look 4 1 which got no ya  genes bro. Kisii got Saudi people  blood while Yankees got Bahrain,  Omani blood dude. Got 2 know this  dude!!
I want to erase any  thought of good life associated with  that am a survivor and the fact  that I want their pretty woman as I have put in some tumblr following me I copy pasted from another, so that if  am slain the next day they  don’t put in media “Good job well done” as  they did with Tm that they  have put a hold on me or gotten me. Removing  every doubt bro to bring  about mistaken identity. When u dislike posh  life they wanna attack ya  saying u want it, forcing the kikuyu blooded  men loving large life.
Another sense of good life to people who  don’t live that good is you see them  as a little kid smeared with fecal  matters as have not wiped out the  booty or to a woman when sited, kinda, the pussy turn ya head to that  woman. A lot of lorries with drones  inside but covered with relocating  house things like mattress in dat if  their is landslide or poisonous  gas emission they escape. The china made drones dat were brought in2 the country. Given to specific people mostly kisii, masai or kikuyou, in  their compounds testing them at night.
            Cat island  people are bad with people whom they see women to love, at that time  starts to stalk or harass a fellow  man when no 1 is in the vicinity.  Kikuyou men, luo men or luya got that  blood and the gaya got it maybe  on the mother side at that time, they  married their women but the  kikuyou married their men out of my thesis.  And Masai are lazy wanting  others food as if trump is the 1 telling them liasing with Uhuru. Even  trump got that blood of wanting to be a gay  and putting ya to lough  with him as if a woman has accepted ya but if u r down and him up he  doesn’t give a damn, character synonymous with  Floridians who as well  got the cat island character, Ci, cianda, stupig, matako in sheng. The  way Sydney poiter was treated in Miami b4 leaving 4 Florida is a lesson  to depict how they are always are. At night they  can grab ya manhood to caress it failure to which they cut/stab you to  death or even strangle ya, so its a 2 way phenomena. They want to seat,  lazy but don’t think  the very people who they frustrate are the  workaholic bro. They want  free things which can last like cash crop  while they put up in swag not words, bad character as those dubious ways to their survival have been blocked like with automatic locks,  shielding plane alternator 4 it not  to be electrocuted, no-fuel as  e-generator to eliminate cooking gas and govt wanting to increase  population to benefit from huge electric bill as water bill also and  many to use the new discovered oil deposits to  sell much oil as govt  revenue, internet penetration per house and things like payed TV decoder to benefit them widely. These in my following tumblr a/c has a  bottleneck so, women are to play part to avoid replicating kids with  such character, so its a blessing in disguise. They are even thieves,  wanna still from ya in no vicinity even kim of korea got this gene and  they meet to discuss their agenda as cat island blooded men. Most  Yankees are Malawi blooded, and Malawians are arab blooded as Kenya  kisii people got Malawi people blood of wanting to be 1st b4 white men,  to out shadow people. They wanna destroy the world, this world will be  peopled with their offspring and that’s the joy/pride of white man, what they long 4.

Kingdom Hearts III Secret Ending, TWEWY, & FFXV
So, the Kingdom Hearts III secret ending dropped yesterday, and this might be the most bizarre and unexpected one yet. Further complicating it is the potential ties to other Square Enix properties. As someone who is a big fan of both Kingdom Hearts and The World Ends With You, and who at least has played Final Fantasy XV, I thought I’d have a hand at trying to consolidate various points people have made as well as my own observations into a simple* explainer. 
Honestly, this is as much for my own sake as for helping others who aren’t sinking headfirst into the deep lore of multiple Tetsuya Nomura franchises...This man is utterly ludicrous. 
*ugly sobbing
***OBVIOUSLY, MAJOR SPOILERS FOR BOTH KINGDOM HEARTS III AND THE WORLD ENDS WITH YOU: FINAL REMIX UNDER THE CUT***
For people who haven’t seen the Secret Ending...Well. I’m not quite sure why you’re reading this, you should probably go watch that. But the basic gist is: 
We see Sora and Riku both waking up in hyperrealistic and visually distinct cities--or perhaps just different areas of the same one (the likely answer)
Due to the gradual reveal of the environment, it’s shown that Sora is in Shibuya, Tokyo--not quite the real one, which I’ll comment on later--and Riku is in Shinjuku, Tokyo.
As Riku walks through Shinjuku, we see Yozora--the protagonist of the fictionalized video game, Verum Rex, that we saw in the Toy Story world--observing Riku from a rooftop.
Lastly, we see a figure in the iconic black cloak looking out at the moon of this world--a normally shaped moon--and forming a heart shape within it with his hands. 
Really, the basic sequence of events is pretty simple to follow. What makes this complicated is what each of these individual pieces mean.
Verum Rex? Final Fantasy XV? 
The biggest elephant in the room to most is the presence of Yozora, and in fact the secret ending is named after him. This is gonna get into some real meta stuff. 
The entirety of Verum Rex--the fictionalized video game of which Yozora is the protagonist-- is a very, very thinly veiled jab at Final Fantasy XV. 
For those who do not know, Final Fantasy XV was originally developed under the title Final Fantasy Versus XIII, with Tetsuya Nomura, director of Kingdom Hearts, at the helm. He was taken off the project, and rumors circulated about his bitterness towards his brainchild being seized from him. Verum Rex seems to be complete confirmation of this, in a very public and hilariously petty way--the Final Fantasy XV that Nomura wanted. The similarities between the two games have been pointed out by many. To list a few as examples: 
‘Yozora’ is Japanese for “night sky.” Noctis Caelum, the protagonist of FFXV, is Latin for “night sky.” 
“Verum Rex” is Latin for “True King.” Noctis’s main character arc in XV is him growing into and accepting the role of King. This title could be Nomura asserting that Yozora is the true king he wanted to make. 
As can be seen in the in-game trailer, the aesthetics of the games are extremely similar, and a few of the characters can be identified with those from XV.
Yozora’s pose on the cover of the game is extremely reminiscent of that of Noctis in Versus XIII’s teaser art.
The main theme of XV, Somnus, is just kind of straight up incorporated into the Secret Ending at one point. Compare: Somnus vs “Yozora.”
What does this all mean? The only two things we can say definitively are: 
a) Sora and Riku as well as the black hooded figure have somehow ended up in Yozora’s world
b) Tetsuya Nomura’s pettiness levels are off the charts
I personally highly doubt any of this means that the lore of Final Fantasy XV itself will tie into Kingdom Hearts--it simply seems that Nomura is determined to see his original vision of his characters to their end, whatever form it may take. But who knows? Nomura is riding it ridiculously close here.
The World Ends With You?
So the other big Tetsuya Nomura property that is possibly wrapped into this Secret Ending is The World Ends With You. There is not as much concrete to go on as with FFXV, but regardless, what are the connections in this trailer? 
First, the basic premise of TWEWY: The protagonists are participating in something called the “Reaper’s Game,” a competition among the recently deceased to get a second chance at life.  The game is set in Shibuya, Tokyo.
Wait, that sounds familiar--Sora is in Shibuya in the Secret Ending! In TWEWY, the game begins with protagonist Neku waking up in the middle of the bustling Scramble Crossing in Shibuya. While devoid of people here, Sora wakes up in the very same Scramble Crossing. 
One could think that Nomura might just like Shibuya as a setting for his games and wanted to have a little fun--certainly possible. But what makes the connection to TWEWY especially striking is when the camera pans to the massive building with “104″ in big letters along the top. This is a building in real-life Shibuya, as well....sort of. The real-life building this is based on is actually called 109. 104 originated in TWEWY’s own version of Shibuya. 
This would seem to indicate that this is not just any Shibuya, this is the TWEWY Shibuya. It could be a reused pseudonym, yes, but 104 is such an iconic part of TWEWY that Nomura would know full well what he was doing by placing it in the trailer.
But what drives home the TWEWY connection even more is Riku and Yozora’s location. We know Riku is in Shinjuku, because after showing 104, the trailer shows Riku looking up at what is a distinct governmental building in real life Shinjuku. 
What’s the relation of Shinjuku to TWEWY? Nothing....Until the recently released Final Remix, that is. Final Remix reveals that a girl Neku keeps seeing visions of--the girl who will presumably be the protagonist of TWEWY 2--hails from Shinjuku. Additionally, Shinjuku is discussed by Joshua and Hanekoma in Final Remix as having been destroyed in some way--if I remember correctly, the entire city was “erased.” What the implications of this are isn’t really clear in TWEWY, but the notable thing is that the two main settings of the trailer are the two most important settings of TWEWY. 
This is not the first time TWEWY has appeared in Kingdom Hearts, either--characters from it appeared in KH: Dream Drop Distance, and at one point, Sora makes a promise to visit them in Shibuya one day. Seeing as he is in Shibuya now...Perhaps this promise is one that will actually be fulfilled. 
TWEWY’s relevance is potentially extended by what exactly happened in Kingdom Hearts III’s plot...which is what we’ll talk about next.
What the heck does this all have to do with the game I played???
Obviously, this is impossible to answer at this point, and can really only mostly be speculated. First, here is what we concretely know: 
It is made a point several times in the game that Sora’s vast connections to others, and specifically his repeated attempts at awakening them, have been causing him strain. Sora’s connection to other hearts has been waning, enough that he no longer appeared on the cover of Pooh’s story book, likely due to his weakening. Xehanort tells Sora at several points that he has doomed his heart. 
Right before the climax, Xehanort strikes Kairi with his keyblade, seemingly killing her. Of course, everyone also “died” earlier in the story, and Sora saved them as well, so this was never going to be permanent. 
After defeating Xehanort, Sora goes off to find a way to rescue Kairi. 
Later, we see Kairi and Sora back on Destiny Islands--however, Kairi is crying, and Sora evaporates into light. We have no idea what his true fate might be, but it’s probably not good. 
Some time after, Sora awakens in Shibuya. Riku is in Shinjuku for some reason but we have no hecking idea why so don’t think about that too hard. 
Of course, you didn’t read this far to have the plot reexplained to you, you came here for plausible speculation!! Here’s my take which will almost certainly be wrong since this is Kingdom Hearts, but it’s fun to think about. 
If the TWEWY connection is real--why would Sora awaken in Shibuya? It’s possible that in rescuing Kairi, Sora died, and now he has come to Shibuya to participate in the Reaper’s Game, to reclaim his life. Alternatively, he could not be dead but still have ended up there for some reason. 
We don’t know if this is Canonverse TWEWY or some KH AU version like they do with Final Fantasy--both are plausible. 
But wait, why is Yozora there? One answer is that despite all the similarities Nomura is just having some fun and this is simply the setting of Verum Rex. Another potential answer is that Verum Rex takes place in the same universe as this TWEWY. Or perhaps Yozora’s heart was set adrift like Sora’s, and he ended up in Shinjuku in a similar manner. 
There’s one thing that I’ve barely talked about at all, though--the figure in the black cloak. That’s because there is not much to latch onto there. A likely candidate for the figure’s identity is the Master of Masters--the originator of keyblades who is stated by Luxu/Xigbar both in the epilogue and the secret reports to soon be returning. By making his hands in a heart shape around the moon, perhaps he is conveying his desire to to turn this world’s moon into a new Kingdom Hearts? We really don’t know. But that seems a likely implication. 
Wait, you ask, what’s all this about Luxu and the Master of Masters? Who?? To which I say: It is exactly like Nomura to make the plot of a mobile game that no one plays the central conceit of the KH series going forward. That’s a whole other novel length post to explain right there and I only tenuously understand it myself sooooooooooooooooooooooo
you’re on your own 
tl;dr welcome to the tetsuya nomura cinematic universe

ooc
The following post will contain KH3 spoilers, marked and sectioned off, that you may need to fully understand this theory on the Fae in Kingdom Hearts and where their fabled world, often called in our world, the Otherworld, is located, and how I was friggin right about how Maleficent truly sees Riku as one of her own.
no images will be used as Mun is too lazy to find appropriate sceenshots of every scene I will refer to.
ANYWHO!! Let’s get this show started, feel free to reblog this post, just remember to tag appropriately since some people still don’t know the game
First some background and history on the fae, just a bit.
Fae = Faerie = Fairy = Fayrie = The Good Folk = Little Helpers = People Under The Hill = basically any sort of nickname you can think of besides fairy or an alternate spelling of fairy, because if they heard you dissing them by daring to say they weren’t good and kind and just and shit, then they often chose to make you their next pranking target for a while. I tend to just use the word Fae to generalize and make things easier
The fae are said in some cultures to live under the hill, their world, because it is a whole other world in mythos, is hidden from human sight. Often, it has even been said that to travel to the Otherworld, is to see death.
Because animals can see the fae easily, animals also see ghosts
(In fact, many traits attributed to fae, are also attributed to ghosts, or vice versa, but that’s only partially important to this post)
It’s said that in the world of the fae, there is no such thing of time. Years can pass in the human world, or mere minutes, and the fae would barely even notice if at all. The funny thing is
Aqua says that about the Dark World too.
In her game, Fragmentary Passage, she makes a note of how she has no friggin idea what’s going on out there in the Realm of Light, how she can’t understand how long she’s been trapped, but she knows time has passed, she can’t tell though.
She cannot tell how long she’s been there. Because “there is no time in the realm of darkness.” 
We can assume from that, that she didn’t get hungry, she didn’t get exhausted. In fact she started the game as lvl 50, so it’s not like she started over just cause she basically died.
That’s another thing, there are 5 thousand million and one references to dying being equated to being lost to the darkness
Which brings us to the thought that the Realm of Darkness is where the dead go
The Sleeping Worlds are often said to be nestled in the Darkness
in her game, Aqua takes solace in the  fact that while she wandered Cinderella’s world, she never saw a person there trapped alongside her, so she assumed they were all safe and alive even though their world wasn’t
she didn’t take a moment to wonder if the heartless she was killing were the very villagers she was glad weren’t trapped with her, she should have, but she didn’t
so here’s the rub, whenever a person in our universe was said to be stolen by the fae, they were believed dead for as long as they were missing, sometimes they would return and they would either be the same age they were when they disappeared or older than they should be
time does not exist to the fae, not in such a way that we mere humans understand according to all the myths and fables and legends
so, all that said, let’s leave Aqua for a moment in the Darkness which is basically close af to Death and to the Fae, and see other characters affected
Maleficent is not merely a dark witch, she is a dark fairy. As a fae, she cannot actually lie, she can withhold truth, she can twist truth, but she cannot blatantly lie. she can say things that are truth to herself
she and The Three Good Fairies are kin, but the truth of the matter is, fae politics are strange and unusual, and a good large amount of fae would stab you in the toe if you dared say they weren’t good, so we honestly can’t take their title of Three Good Fairies seriously
Maleficent however admits she is dark, admits she can do great evil
she takes pure unadulterated pleasure in wreaking chaos across all worlds
in bringing the Realm of Light, notably full of humans, and covering it in Darkness, which, as we stated above, could very well be where the fae actually live
we only have a few fae we get to know in KH, Maleficent, Fauna, Flora, Merryweather, Tinkerbell, and Peter Pan (edit! and the Gullwings, whom are single minded the entire time and focused only on treasure)
however, Peter Pan is often likened to a changling more than a human or a fae, a child created or strengthened through fairy magic, through chaos magic. some versions of the tale have it that Tinkerbell stole a human babe and all that pixie dust eventually turned him into one of them, others tell of him being fae right from the start
unseen normally in kh and most modern depictions of Pan, is that he will legitimately kill people once they’re no longer of use to him, all he cares about is his enjoyment
and Tink? she does everything to make Pan happy, because she loves the chaos just as much as him, she’s his enabler in that regard, and dislikes when he chooses to allow something she doesn’t like (exhibit a: Wendy)
all fae the same, in that they seek out something that brings them joy, and then they tend to spend a large time of their life doing that over and over and over and over and over and over again
The Three Good Fairies hereby shortened to TGF have this thing, they like helping humans. They like to give humans magical things and see what happens afterwards. They like to make clothes too, and their chaotic nature shows in the way they interact with humans, unable to stop squabbling amongst themselves because obviously each separate fairy knows better than the other two
all of the KH fae have their respective territories, though Maleficent, as stated before, obviously wants to make her territory larger, for the most part, they don’t interact with each other
and none seem to call a single place home except for Pan and Tink, but then, they have a world to play with humans they’ve picked, and often grab new humans when eventually their humans grow to have no use to them
who is to say they didn’t all come from the fabled Otherworld, and simply spread out across the Realm of Light since, if the Otherworld is truly nestled in the Realm of Darkness and thereby void of humans and full of Heartless, all fae love to interact with humans?
since humans can do what they can’t, they can lie
and fae are often noted to steal away their favored humans, to a place beyond time
in KH1, Riku asks Maleficent why she’s helping him, and she says, he’s like a son to her.
anyone that’s known me long enough knows that I strongly believe she was twisting the truth so that the other members of her Circle wouldn’t look down on her, because it appears that a fae’s inabillity to lie is NOT well known in KH, i never see it mentioned anywhere
and so her Circle overhears her saying to the young boy that threw his world into darkness (into chaos, into death, into her home) that may or may not be able to weild a keyblade, that he’s like a son to her, obviously she’s manipulating him, lying to him to gain his favor
but i don’t believe that, when i took a look at the japanese version, the way they spoke to each other, riku was rude af and Mal didn’t seem to mind at all, led me to believe that she truly held affection for Riku
in CoM it’s shown she gave him a huge fucking room with a gazillion books, he had always been given a choice in what he did, she gave him options, asked if he would join her plans or continue freeloading, because he was a freeloader
she found his friends, told him “hey that Sora friend of yours seems to have new friends”, let him see what was going on and take from it what he would, and did no more than offer him a place to crash, maybe do a few errands, hey kid wanna learn magic while you’re here, hey kid wanna go to Hook’s world I think your other friend is there
(it’s implied he’s the one that kidnapped Alice/Snow White depending on the order of you doing the words in KH1, but if that were completely true, he would have seen Sora while grabbing Alice)
he was given everything by her, everything he could want, because that’s how she and her kin work
they take the unwanted, the children the adults, they take the forlorn, the depressed, the anxious, they take all the ones that believe they would not be missed, and they give them everything they want in order to keep them among the fae
is that not what happened?
and, here’s where we get to kh3 spoilers, just a few but honestly, considering when it happens i’ll call it an endgame spoiler even though it has basically no bearing to the actual end of the game (as far as we know)
KH3 SPOILERS START HERE, I’M TRYING TO BE AS VAGUE AS POSSIBLE WHILE STILL GETTING THE IDEA OF THE SCENE ACROSS
in one world i’ll not name, Maleficent is wandering around all willy nilly with Pete, marveling at the world, when a corridor of darkness opens up behind her and out walks a Riku
he’s like “you better not be thinking of getting in my way”
and she’s like “i wouldn’t dream of it my child, play around to your heart’s content and let us both do whatever we want and not get in each other’s way”
and then Pete’s like “new phone who dis” as Riku is happy with her answer and smiles and walks away
and Mal is like “a friend, but i couldn’t begin to tell you from when”
KH3 SPOILERS END HERE
that scene reminds me heavily of the fact that the fae have a strange understanding of time
she knew instantly he was time displaced, and didn’t question it
if anything, she seemed outright proud of him traveling through time
like a mama birb watching her chick learn to fly
(again, very much of a “you’re like a son to me” vibe being more truth than fiction)
and we also see that her affection for him extends to anyone with his face, because she sees something in him that basically screams out to her Fae instincts to grab him, teach him, initiate him into her culture of darkness and timelessness
and riku
he took to darkness easily
it was intuitive to him, he was reckless yet strong
and she praised him for it
so yeah
Maleficent is a Fae, Riku is Fae-touched and Fae-Chosen, Repliku is basically a changeling, Mickey and Aqua basically died when they entered the Realm of Darkness
The Fae World is in the Realm of Darkness
.....did I mention the changeling bit? No? Okay Imma run through that real quick
so basically changeling can refer to one of two people, a human child stolen away from the humans, or the fae creation made in the child’s image and used to replace the child in the human’s crib
because normally it’s done to a small child or baby
and it is a fae creation used to replace the original
the human is taken in by the fae of that area, lives amongst them, slowly turning into one of them
and the creation, often created from whatever elements are around and a spell said over them, is meant to be tougher than the human child, able to withstand any cruelties that the human child would have received
(because often the changelings were said to happen to unhappy children suddenly changing)
(there’s also a few other things that normally denoted a changeling child but i’m not gonna get into that here cause it’s more of a socioeconomic politics things)
the creation would know everything the original knew
and they would believe themselves the original
some tales eventually had the changeling eventually leave their human homes to go join back with the fae, but honestly, anything past about 15 years old was free game in most tales, i think i remember one where the once-human and the creation tried to kill each other
but yeah, and Repliku is a changeling but created by Vexen instead of by a fae (but for all we know he was a science-leaning fae and that was his obsession)
aaand i think that’s everything??? i’ll edit if i realize i forgot something but yeah
Maleficent = mom figure of riku
Fae = darkness = death
