I just need everyone to understand that this scene is Riku standing in for Repliku on his behalf (as Nomura explained in the Ultimania) and it’s supposed to be Repliku/Namine paralleling Riku/Sora because Namine put herself in Sora’s place in Repliku/Riku’s memories. Namine is to Repliku what Sora is to Riku.

Symbolically the gesture has been completed for Repliku and Namine, yet for Sora and Riku…Sora has yet to reach Riku’s hand.

#soriku #people thinking this scene was Nomura hettifying Riku NOPE ACTUALLY ITS JUST GAY #kh3 ending

One of my favorite scenes in KH3 is after the ordeal with Master Xehanort is over when Sora, with his friends beside him, lends their aid (strength) to him in sealing Kingdom Hearts.

Me talking about my AU idea, and how I really want a Riku small story of his pov when sora disappear in kh3, because I realize how fucked up is of everyone happy playing and enjoying time on the beach, they see that sora and Kairi are back but less than a minute later sora disappears!? And that’s so- makes me want to scream, so I hope my silly AU idea can be done.

#kingdom hearts #kh3 ending #why did they make this #I need rikus pov #or else I have to make it myself #and that’s not okay #because I barely write #and my perception of characters #is probably not the best

What hairstyle is better?

Pre-Heartless/DDD cut or Heartless cut

The bottom one looks way better on the model, like it looks more natural and blends in better.

Then on the heartless cut, it is all choppy and you can pick out each hair layer which isn't a good thing. It looks like sticks and it looks odd on him. The top one is just off in general.

I mean the heartless did get him a haircut so that's probably why he looks choppy but still... Maybe that's why in the secret ending Riku hair looks way better and smoother because he actually did something to his hair.

He probably was distracted with the ending battle with Xehanort not to care and finally fixed it or while Sora's disappearance FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR sadden him, his hair grew on its own and did something to look a bit better.

Respectfully, anyone who believes that Roxas shouldn't have come back in kh3 is wrong and also doesn't know how to make a satisfying end to a characters narrative.

I could maybe forgive thinking Naminé or Xion shouldn't have returned, as they at least got to make the informed decision to return to their counterparts themselves. It would still be wrong but I can at least forgive it.

But Roxas? His entire story is about being allowed to be yourself regardless of what anyone else around you says you should be. It doesn't/shouldn't matter if he comes from Sora, because he is someone else entirely. It's his life, not Sora or anyone elses. Having a story like that end with him being violently forced to return to Sora when he doesn't even know anything about what's going on is flat out bad writing.

Did he accept that he had to die for Sora? Well, sure, but only after getting to beat him within an inch of his life. Only reason he accepts it is because he literally has no other choice but to. He can't keep clinging to the anger and misery at his circumstances forever.

And, you know, it probably helps that the person this was all for also fucking hates it. In no way is Sora happy about what happened to Roxas. Of course he'd bring him back, it's Sora. The situation is so unfair and tragic that having it end with him just staying in Sora forever would literally go against the essence of the entire series.

Kingdom Hearts is, at it's core, a series about bonds. Roxas was established basically immediately as having very important bonds! His best friend literally died for him! He has friends that don't even know it because it was another version of them, but they still feel that bond to him anyway! You really think they should've just thrown away a character whose bonds transcended the boundaries between data and reality just like that? Get real.

#sorry not sorry but roxas' narrative is genuinely so important and it baffles me that there are people who genuinely think he shouldnt have #come back in kh3 #like dude do you just hate satisfying happy endings or what?#the ending that roxas got in kh2 is terrible #his entire everything in kh2 is terrible actually #the only one involved in that situation thats on his side (aside from axel but hes not counted)#is also the only one who couldnt do anything until it was too late #and like. in ddd roxas outright says that the reason he could be okay with this #is because its sora specifically #because sora *wouldnt* be okay with it #because hed actually care to do something to fix it #ansem the wise also says exactly that!#that the reason roxas could exist seperately to begin with is bc of soras love for other people!!!!!!#im rambling again but whatever. sometimes people have such astronomically bad takes that it astounds me #roxas #sora #kingdom hearts #kingdom hearts 2 #kh #kh2 #xander rambles

I decided to watch some old KH trailers in honor of the anniversary today, and I have to admit, I don’t think I ever rewatched this one after the release of Melody of Memory. When it was first revealed, we were under the assumption that the Master of Masters was the opponent Kairi was facing, but as we now know, it was actually Master Xehanort. While we were aware that the Master of Masters has more plans and tricks up his sleeve, to think of this line in the context of Xehanort is a little different. It brought to mind an old theory of mine, so I decided to go back to KH3, Re:Mind, KHDR, and MoM to compile as much evidence as possible for it.

(As a disclaimer, it slightly undermines the authenticity of his ‘conclusion’ in KH3, so if you’re a big fan of that scene, feel free to skip this one.)

This line in KH3 is a good place to start. From the get go, it was established that Xehanort planned for nearly every possible outcome of the Keyblade War. I also think it’s safe to say that every action he made was an intentional choice based on these plans. So the question is, what is the “final plan” referenced in Melody of Memory’s trailer? I think the game gave us the answer:

It may be easy to jump to the conclusion that this was just a plan for revenge, since Sora is the one who stopped Xehanort to begin with. However, I want to reaffirm that every action he takes is for a reason that serves his goals. It wasn’t just a plan to make Sora disappear, but likely to make him disappear to Quadratum specifically.

This was even foreshadowed in KH3’s Toy Box world. Young Xehanort sends Sora to the world of Verum Rex—though it’s probably closer to a “data” version in this instance:

YX in particular is very confident that Sora’s overuse of the Power of Waking will lead to his disappearance:

And MX has a similar line in Re:Mind:

Except this is where things get interesting. The Sora in Re:Mind is time-traveling from a point in time after he defeated Xehanort.

Xehanort must know this, because he sees the real Sora (from this point in time) about to begin the final battle in the distance. He then acknowledges that the Sora he’s speaking to is from the future. Unless he witnesses the present Sora time travel during their final confrontation, he can conclude that Sora survives their fight to time travel later on—meaning his plan doesn’t come to fruition. Sora unknowingly reveals his hand in Re:Mind this way, and opens the door for Xehanort to plan accordingly—which is kind of mind-breaking to think about…

It gets even better here, during Sora’s fight with Terra-Xehanort:

Sora brags that, like Xehanort, he can also time travel. To which Xehanort responds that Sora will then also need to make the “ultimate sacrifice”, or in other words, “pay the ultimate price”, as MX said. “Also”—as in, Xehanort has made this sacrifice as well by time traveling. As in, Xehanort will also disappear to Quadratum.

We have evidence to believe that as well. I also like the interpretation that he intentionally planned this to survive the world being purged, but that’s kind of a separate theory.

So to recap, Xehanort was probably aware that Sora would survive their final confrontation in order to time travel afterwards. He correctly predicts that the consequence for time traveling would be to disappear… specifically to Quadratum—something that Melody of Memory considers his “final plan”.

So… why? Why would he want Sora to also disappear to Quadratum? Trying to answer that question leads to the most controversial part of this theory:

It’s really nice to believe that Xehanort gave Sora the X-blade as an admission of his defeat, and I’m definitely not against that interpretation. But it is a little strange that before—and after—this scene, in Melody of Memory, he continues to act like making Sora disappear was his big plan. It doesn’t feel right, if he was supposed to be letting Sora “win” here.

I’ll be very curious to see if Xehanort has a role in Quadratum, and why exactly he “paved the way” for Sora to be there as well. Either way, I am holding out for a geniune change of heart from him, especially if what we saw in KH3 was more of a manipulation.

#Sorry to anyone who has heard me ramble about this before #but this time I brought a little more evidence to the table—haha #I’ve tried to type this up before but I always get shy about posting it because I don’t want to “ruin” kh3’s ending for anyone #But in all honesty as a Xehanort fan I would *like* this theory to be true #because I feel like it could ultimately lead to a more satisfying redemption for him

has it been answered why they gave riku more of a focus on the kh3 updated ending scene? like I’d you compare the two it’s just so noticeable. taking away his smile with namine but then giving it back to him at the end when he now walks forward and looks up at s + k.

We never got any official explanation, no. What’s interesting is that in the original, it’s Donald that first noticed something and he’s NOT looking at the tree at all. They are all looking at something much further to the right across the water. In the updated version it’s much harder to tell, they look much more like they are looking at the tree based on how the angles are framed, but when you place all the characters where they are standing and facing in data greeting, they still aren’t looking at the tree. It’s possible it’s just a film trick to get the best looking framing for the background. It’s very common for film to do this. But the early version where Donald was very clearly not looking anywhere near the tree makes me still think it’s possible the two scenes (everyone on the beach vs Sora and Kairi on the tree) aren’t happening at the same time. I still feel the ending is extremely weird and doesn’t make sense. I like to think the reason they changed it to focus more on Riku is because he is the first one to sense/notice Sora coming home.

Just thinking about how apparently when you share a Paopu Fruit with someone, your destinies are entertwined. For Sora and Kairi, it might foreshadow that they will one day reunite, but honestly, it's already been proven that they shared the same destiny.

Both Kairi and Sora died at the end of KH3 💀

#its actually kinda interesting that the paopu fruit thematically tied their destinies together #then kairi dies and then sora “dies” at the end too lmao #sora #kairi #sokai #kingdom hearts #kh3 #kh sora #kh kairi

The Bad ending after the Yozora fight is interesting since a part of Dearly Beloved is silent...

How much more proof do people need to say Dearly Beloved is the theme of Sora and Riku whatever you want to believe it is romantic or platonic?

Back in Dream Drop Distance it was established Dearly Beloved was the song that plays when their hearts are in tune and connected.

Each of them haves a distinguished separate part of the song, however during the bad end of the Yozora fight, Sora's part is silent and only Riku's part is playing.

Sora's part being silent in the bad "non canon" ending shows further proof showing that Dearly beloved is the tune of two people, one being Sora and the other is Riku if for some reason you missed that in DDD

The bad ending even have the quote that Yozora says that Sora once also said silent in this version. I've been having these weird thoughts lately like is any of this for real or not?

In the bad non canon ending Yozora only says this, Sora is silent.

Now in the good ending, you can hear both parts of dearly beloved because he lives and he also says the opening line from KH1 along with Yozora.

Though I have my own theory about that line that has to also do with the mobile games... regarding the reality Sora is from not being real reality and is just part of data which is why they can easily travel through data.

And the real world— the world the dandelions escaped from is Quadratum where all magic basically faded from the area. It's also why people can easily come back to life. However this theory it's probably easily disproven since Strelitzia is also there.
