You’re Home!

What if instead of Roxas... it was Vanitus who saves Sora in the final battle at the last second?! At the KH Concert World Tour, “Heroes and Heroins” DID play his theme...

[vanitas voice] u stole my face so the least u could do is not act like a loser and make me look bad

Sea Salt Trio’s reunion // Wayfinder Trio’s reunion

First Friend

For the KH3 Countdown Challenge. 

Day 9 - Friendship

It was kinda funny how Sora had never really met his first and oldest friend face-to-face before.

Sure, he had vague, fuzzy memories of talking to Ventus as a kid, but that was different from actually, you know, talking to him. Out loud. In person. Face-to-face. Like how most normal friendships went.

To be fair, though, most of Sora’s friendships were anything but normal these days. How many people had been hanging out inside his heart before he’d begun this rescue mission again? Sheesh, he really could start charging rental space like Donald had suggested. Bunch of freeloaders.

Not that he ever would. They were his freeloaders, and he would give them shelter for as long as they needed. It was the least he could do after Xehanort had ruined their lives. Ruined the lives of his beloved friends that he was determined now more than ever to restore.

And that meant it was time to return Ventus to his rightful body, and that thought both excited him and scared him. Ventus had been with him ever since he was a baby. What kind of person would he be without him?

“What will Ventus think when he sees me?” he couldn’t help but ask.

Because Ventus was this… well, this legendary figure, almost. With him since the day he was born. A Keyblade wielder long before he’d become one. A hero to be admired from afar, even while, ironically enough, he rested inside Sora’s heart.

How was he supposed to approach that reintroduction? Sure, maybe he should be more worried about the fight that was probably gonna happen if he wanted to save Ventus’s body and restore his heart. Getting back each and every one of the people Xehanort had stolen from him hadn’t been easy so far, and Ventus wasn’t about to be an exception.

But for whatever reason, he was more nervous about seeing Ventus face-to-face for the first time than he was about the upcoming battle.

Aqua patted his head and smiled, like she always used to pat Ventus’s head. She’d smiled a lot after her rescue, really.

“He’ll be thrilled to see you, I’m sure,” she said. “And Sora?”

“Yeah?”

“Call him Ven. It’s what all his friends do.”

Sora returned her smile. “Okay.”

SoKai Dates: or how they choose to spend their limited time together

(Hint: it’s very, very selflessly).

Watching fireworks with Chirithy:

Helping Chirithy return to Ven:

Which, when you think about it, is one of the most selfless things they can do with their time. Sora is fading away and he at least knows they have limited time left together (and I would imagine Kairi suspects/knows as well), but the first thing they do is help Chirithy make happy memories with them, and then make sure Chirithy reunites with Ven. They’re good, selfless people, through and through, and it shows in everything they do.

The thing about Vanitas

So, the kh new has been so exciting, but what caught my eye was Vanitas, not just Vanitas himself though, but the way that SE showed him. So, we all know that Vanitas has always been the type that keeps his cool and always thought of himself as better than others, but in the trailer we got, it was the exact opposite.

See, imagine being put in his shoes, training under a horrible man that tells you repeatedly that you’re an abomination and that the only reason you live is so that you can make a weapon. Now, you see how in BBS Vanitas’ goal was to forge the X-blade with Ventus? And when he got the X-blade, he was defeated right after? Now let’s go to how we see Vanitas in the trailer vs how we see him in BBS.

Vanitas is almost always known for insulting and mocking a person before a fight, and he did insult and mock Ven/Sora in the trailer, but something was off. The first words he said in the trailer was, “I need the half of me that sleeps on inside your heart.” That doesn’t sound like Vanitas at all, well to me. We know that he would’ve said something like, “I’ll be taking my lesser half now,” or something along those lines, but he didn’t. He said he needed Ven, his other half, which once again doesn’t sound like him.

Now let’s talk about his body expression. When Ventus speaks through Sora, Vanitas immediately recognizes and reacts to him, but the way he did isn’t like him. Vanitas’ response was “Ventus. What a strange place to slither off to,” while walking towards Sora. But the way he said it, the way he talked to Ven was so strange. His voice sounded like he was going to laugh or, as if he was relieved to have found him. Now, the way he reached his hand at Sora.

When he reached for Sora, his hand was shaking. His voice was sinister. Everything I saw throughout those last seconds just screamed desperation and instability.

Vanitas is finally reaching his limit. Everything he has gone through with Xehanort, all that pain, just to fail. Now he’s doing it again, he’s obviously getting desperate.

It was great seeing Vanitas in the new trailer, but he isn’t the character we knew in Birth by Sleep.

What I hope to see in KH3? - Day 12

Terra x Aqua moment

Those two are my KH otp. I really want to see a Terraqua moment which likely is their reunion or the game’s ending.

Let me state a few points of why I should think they should have a special moment or become a canon couple:

They have the foundation to become a couple even as a trio it won’t be awkward since their dynamic is different than the other trios. Terra and Aqua have always been each others’ equal while Ven looks up to both and they’re his guardians. They function as a family not only friends.

Their personalities compliment each other.

They have known each other for a very long time and have a strong bond (which would get stronger after their reunion).

They’re the only ones who can understand each other’ suffering due to both falling to darkness.

There is the other likely fact that Aqua has deeper feelings for Terra which is hinted in her story throughout BBS.

They are adults and their separation could trigger emotions they both kept inside for a long time which is why now is the time to bring those feelings out.

I think KH3 is the perfect opportunity for this especially since both have been separated for more than a decade and their reunion is definitely going to be very emotional. I hope I see them cry tears of joy and hugging each other tightly like they can’t believe this is real (Ven joining them of course!).

Their whole relationship is gonna be stronger and more intimate once Terra realizes Aqua sacrificed herself and fell in the Realm of Darkness for him. He will realize how much Aqua believes in him even after everything that happened (Namine confirms that to him during their conversation).

Nomura said. “For example, I’m sure you had friends when you were young, a good group of friends, but as you grow older things change and it doesn’t always stay the same. I think all I can say is please play to the very end and see what happens. But I think [Kingdom Hearts 3] does depict how each character feels about each other in this new storyline.”

I mean from Nomura’s statement we can expect that some friendships could change. So what if Aqua and Terra are no longer mere friends and take it to the next level? After both going through hell and what Aqua did for Terra I would be surprised if they remained friends only without developing a more intimate bond.

To conclude this post, I just want some fluff for these two.

Kingdom Hearts: The World Ends With Final Fantasy Versus XIII

I’m fairly certain I’ve decoded the secret ending & of course Nomura can completely change any premise he wants but the secret ending of Kingdom Hearts 3 is not as random or obscure as it seems to be. Let’s investigate….

Fans are gagging over Yozora’s resemblance to Noctis but there’s an obvious reason. It’s a massive hint to where the plot is going. Nomura wants to tell the original storyline of Final Fantasy Versus XIII which is NOT Final Fantasy XV in any way shape or form. The original plot of Final Fantasy Versus XIII, people gifted with the sight to see death’s light after being involved in near death experiences themselves. This Reddit user explains it better than me because for one, it’s been so long since I heard this storyline, it’s so ignored, I almost wondered if I made it up myself, & two, this user had a little more information than I had. (never heard about the Goddess)

This plot explains why Final Fantasy XV had so many night related anthems, (Noctis, Luna, & the moon) while having little to no moon/night related plot. This also explains why Yozora has a red eye. (The death sight)

Part of the reason why it took me this long to connect the dots is because I had no knowledge of another video game called, The World Ends With You

Another Nomura game that is based on death & reapers. It’s a game based in Shibuya that has players fighting for their lives, literally. You have a certain time frame to reclaim your life or the reaper gets you. (Paraphrasing, like I said, I never played it)

With Final Fantasy Versus XIII & The World Ends With You both having death as it’s main theme, & both games having a certain Kingdom Hearts 3 Director in common, it’s not rocket science to break down the secret ending now……

Sora & Riku both woke up in Shibuya (once again, the town The World Ends With You is based in) after Sora went on some LIFE SACRIFICING mission to bring Kairi back. Sora never returned (see KH3 ending) which of course has Riku going in after him……..

Notice the different colors? The different scenes? Both didn’t enter Shibuya at the same time (Riku arrived later) and with The World Ends With You & Kingdom Hearts for that matter having alternate words, it’s easy to assume they’re in different realities. Sora, is in TWEWY, which is not that far fetched considering he has already met the protagonist of that game, Neku.

While Riku is in another Shibuya, Final Fantasy Versus XIII (Verum Rex) as we saw when Yozora was staring at Riku. (He’s staring because he sees the death light on Riku)

Either both Sora & Riku are dead, or close to it. It’s not a coincidence at all these death omens are centered on that secret ending. Yozora’s appearance confirms it, it’s just a lot of people have no knowledge of FFVersusXIII’s original plot so it’s goofy, petty, or strange to see “fake Noctis” in KH3, but it’s not. It’s a red flag of what’s next. Oh & add the fact that we had no Final Fantasy (another game about DEATH) references in KH3, (looks like it’s because we’re getting a FF theme series) that it’s kind of obvious the next series is going to take on a serious tone. An older tone, as it should considering KH fans are old enough for this material 17 years later after KH1. I’m more excited for this plot than any KH storyline in the past. We’re finally getting the dark story Nomura always wanted to tell….

This scene is of course a Kingdom Hearts reference but it’s also a Versus XIII reference as well. The moon is the light that the death seers depend on. I see you, Nomura!

Find the hearts joined to yours…
