i don't get people hating on recoded
it has super fun gameplay
"it doesn't make sense with the lore" ermm yeah it does. Him handling the hurt has to do with what Sora faces in kh3. it also has to do with data worlds in union x mobile game and Maleficent remembering being there.
it has one of the cutest Sora and Riku dynamic. Riku gets kidnapped and Sora has to go and save Riku.
also many cutscenes show them together in different worlds. It's what they always wanted to do together and they are flirting throughout them
They are so cute almost too much for me to handle
also the ending didn't happen
they kissed and are dating at the end

Imagine Riku staying at Disney Castle and wanting to look something up on the internet (eyeliner tutorials) so he turns on Mickey's computer and the first thing he sees is Data-Sora and Data-Riku(/Jiminy's digitised Journal) making out

anyone else think it’s absolutely awesome that data-soras more of a traditional nobody to sora than roxas ever was and by having Data-Sora grow a heart through the acknowledgment of his own sense of self seperate from og-Sora and the bonds sustained through Donald/goofy the game not only serves as a chronological transition between kh2/DDD but also as an ideological transition between only special nobodies getting emotions and all nobodies having the potential for them. Or am I just codedpilled

The data characters in Coded are endlessly fascinating to me because like... they're so much like the originals. But everything is shifted just enough to the left that they feel different, and a little off if you think about it long enough.
Probably the main thing that stands out is that they all start out with different "base memories" from each other, if you will. The only thing Data Sora knows is that he grew up on the islands with his friends, but Data Riku has an encyclopedic knowledge of everything that happened in KH1. Data Namine knows what happened in CoM, and Data Roxas remembers up to the end of the KH2 prologue.
None of them are caught up to the present. The events of KH2 don't exist to them, because those events are written in a different journal.
But you can't even say that Data Sora is "just" Sora from before he started his journey, because almost as soon as the game starts, there's something wrong with that picture.
Tumblr media
It's a little hard to explain, but Sora seems... remarkably unconcerned with his surroundings. He accepts whatever Mickey tells him without a second thought, even if he admits (still much too casually) that he doesn't understand what's going on.
(Not to mention that the giant, eye-catching blocks around him are things he doesn't even acknowledge until prompted by Mickey to "look for anything odd.")
But probably the biggest difference between the two Soras when they're starting out is that the journey isn't personal for Data Sora. He doesn't dwell on the islands being lost, and more importantly, he isn't looking for his friends. He doesn't even think about his friends. The first time Riku's name comes out of his mouth is when he literally shows up in front of him.
Tumblr media
The early parts of Coded really make the "data" part of Data Sora apparent, I think. He's kind and brave like Sora, he has his mannerisms down, but he feels a bit hollow. There's nothing that's really important to him yet; he just goes along with things as they happen to him.
And then he loses the Keyblade and Riku at the same time, which is the first event to prompt genuine distress from him that he doesn't quickly bounce back from.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
This is when Data Sora goes from a passive protagonist to more of an active one - something that the original Sora was from the start. He finally disobeys a request from Mickey, going to Hollow Bastion by himself in order to save Riku.
It's only there that he finally starts to process what having friends means, though, courtesy of Donald and Goofy's guidance... which the original Sora had ever since Traverse Town, by the way. Mickey wasn't a bad mentor to Data Sora, necessarily, but he was a lot more objective-focused, and thus didn't do a lot to help foster a deeper understanding of certain things in him.
Another thing I find interesting - the original Sora lost his Keyblade before going through Hollow Bastion, too, but the way they each get them back is different. Sora makes a rousing speech about how his friends are his power, and his conviction in that summons it back:
Tumblr media
While Data Sora summons his back in a moment of fear, and a desire to protect his friends from being crushed:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He even fights a possessed Riku like Sora did, but the dynamic between them is much different on both ends. Originally, Sora was really fed up with Riku, and didn't know the full extent that he was being manipulated. (Also Riku stole the Keyblade and his friends by extension from him, so he's understandably kind of mad about that)
Meanwhile, Riku's villainous sass was on full display, mocking Sora for having a weak heart and saying he would get destroyed by the darkness. This was probably the worst terms they've been on with each other.
In Coded, there's no bad blood between them, and Data Sora knows exactly how much Riku isn't acting of his own accord. So his tone becomes one of unambiguous concern, while Riku wants so much to not fight Sora that he asks to be destroyed instead.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And because Ansem just... doesn't seem to exist in the datascape, Sora is able to bring Riku back with him much faster than the original could, so the motivation that made CoM and KH2 possible in the first place is gone entirely.
Data Sora's journey leads him to the same places as Sora's, and the story beats are similar, but his experiences are unmistakably different. Which is what makes the way Data Riku talks about things especially fascinating.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He makes a lot of references to the original events of KH1, and talks like he and Data Sora are inextricable from it. "I always seem to give in," "you once turned into a Heartless," "you would have saved us." He never completely separates the events of the datascape from those in the real world, treating Riku's failings as his own, saying that Data Sora lost his heart and doesn't remember it.
Data Roxas and Namine are the same way - it's actually Sora who's the odd one out, who doesn't give his original a second thought most of the time. It's only when other people attribute Sora's experiences to him that he, somewhat mistakenly, adopts that information into his worldview.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(No, Sora, that's not your Heartless. No, you weren't on a journey to find Riku and Kairi. That was a different guy. You don't even know Kairi for some reason. Add him to the list of people that live in Sora's shadow along with Roxas and Xion)
I don't know what the conclusion is here exactly, just that there's something about the way the data characters are so different but similar at the same time to the people they're based on that's really engaging to me.
I mean, one of Sora's biggest fears seems to be turning into someone else, or just being a copy of another person, as we saw in DDD. Data Sora is a Sora who's a copy, and he's kind of just... fine with that. He's content with what he has. Even when his memories are a complete mess by the end of the game, he accepts the situation as it is and keeps moving forward.
Anyway I could keep going but for now I'll leave it at "and that's why the data characters should show up again in future games"

I Think Re:Coded Tells Us How The Story Will End
So I'm going to shamelessly tag @tennelleflowers because I had this moment of speculation while watching their fantastic 6 hour long video essay (yet again).
Tumblr media
As the title states, I think Re:Coded for all of its many faults, is a rough outline for how the story will progress.
Data Riku is chosen by the Journal (a non sentient encapsulation of the story) to embody all that it contains to protect it from "corruption".
There is speculation that Riku may be some sort of avatar of Kingdom Hearts, and this theory will be using that as a jumping off point.
I think, down the line, Kingdom Hearts will be threatened again, and will choose Riku as the Child of Destiny, to embody it and protect it from corruption via the MoM or otherwise.
Tumblr media
Now, Riku will probably keep this a secret from Sora as they go through their journey in this chapter because he thinks he needs to protect KH on his own because he was chosen OR he's not sure Sora is "up to the task" yet.
But, we know Sora is
And I think he will have to. Just like in coded, we will see Riku ready to give up and self destruct in order to spare Sora, but Sora won't have it.
I think he's going to have to dive into Rikus heart (now containing Kingdom Hearts itself, which would just be a SICK gameplay imo) and learn more about why Riku was chosen.
The reason KH chose Riku was the same reason the journal did-- because 2 defenders are better than one. Sora might not defend the Journal or KH with his life, but we know he will do just that for Riku.
Both Riku and Sora have the strength to protect what matters, which is what will ultimately save KH.
In the end, it's not about saving the Worlds. It's about saving *your* world. And this story is about these two heros and their bond being what ultimately saves the worlds.
Tumblr media
The ENDING ending is up to speculation- sora sacrifices the his place in the realm of light to stay with Riku or they forget everything in the end or whatever. Nomura has the final shot already decided, apparently.
BUT anyway that's just my brainrot for today.

Love that after being silent for the longest time KH decided to break it by being like:
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO RE:CODED ! ! !
And a lot of people are like 😐
Cause they wanted KH4 or ML news
Me personally: It's the funniest thing and Re:Coded actually is somewhat important to the plot of the series when it includes events in KH3 and Mobile games.
RC introduces more of the data worlds concept where people can go into it. And it shows more of this mechanic and like it's fantasy thing that happens in KH just like how there is magic and Keyblades in KH, this is another part of the world building.
It also shows to help Sora be able to face hurt and pain probably because in 3 he sees people get separated and then must go through separation himself when he lands in Quadratum. It also shows that Maleficent is remembering her time in the mobile games by going in the data world and she remembers the book of prophecies.
Tumblr media
Also the data Soriku moments in that game are so cute cause it's just them and THEY ARE LITERALLY FLIRTING
