Sora finds Kairi

>Sora finds Kairi
>He literally just stands there and doesn't give a shit
>Sora finds Riku
>He falls down on his knees and starts crying his eyes out

What did Nomura mean by this?

If you actually read the posts in the other KH threads, you'd know that Sora knew Kairi was safe at home, while he's been chasing Riku's dick forever, knowing he is in danger and with darkness.

it means you're a shitposter that ignores context?

...

Retards will say "Spra knew Kairi was safe after KH1, but had no idea if Riku was alive" while conveniently ignoring the fact that Kairi had been abducted by Organization XIII and he had no clue what they may have done to her after Axel left to safe his ass.

The real answer is that Nomura prioritises Riku and Sora's friendship and Kairi is a secondary character whose only role is to play the damsel and love interest in KH1/2

he meant it as a method for autists to out themselves as being sexually insecure

not really
the organization would have no reason to harm her and sora is smart enough to know they are lying shits.
not saying you are wrong about riku and sora's friendship
honestly its a much better plot point but kairi was still far from any real danger

It means is a shit game made to milk on the Disney IP

nice b8 fujoshit. He could see she was fine up on the balcony. Meanwhile he hadn't seen riku since kh1.

Bros before hoes.

It's a E for everyone game, and it is very self aware of that fact. None of the real good guys are in any danger of dying. "Muh axel" he lived too and burst into treats instead of dying.

The fact of the matter is the only thing that anyone has to worry about in the entire series is being "corrupted by the darkness" and having to live life as a perfectly functional introvert, which the game considers a fate near equivalent to hell. Kairi is in no danger, and has never been in any danger. I know "she got kidnapped!!!!!!!" but even the game doesn't play that as a serious threat of course she got kidnapped and shes a mcguffin that you'll save yet again. Who cares shes safe.

On the other hand, Riku has been CONSTANTLY for THREE GAMES at the time (yes chain of memories counts) falling into darkness, struggling to keep his body, dabbling in dark arts and heartless...

So of course the big moment is meeting Riku again. You're retarded if you think kairi being kidnapped in an aside cutscene 3/4ths of the way through the game that sora doesn't even know about should have the same emotional payoff as the constant source of the entire plot for three games finally being resolved.

...

I finished re playing 2.5 just the other day and i reached to the conclusion that people who ship Sora and Riku are just people who want to see it happen and ignore the whole context of the story. EVERY single thing in the first game and KH2 happens because Sora didn't want to get separated from Kairi.
In 1 the whole princess problem started because Riku was jealous about Kairi caring more for Sora than him, and Riku saw Sora as not worth of Kairi. He turns into a heartless because he wanted to save Kairi.
In 2 when Kairi starts looking for him too, whenever she tells the story to anyone they all go "how romantic!" while she blushes and smiles.
When you finish the Beast Castle and Sora sees the Beast dancing with Belle he pictures himself dancing with Kairi. Goofy remarks that Kairi must feel the same way and that he'll have time to dance with her as soon as all is over.
Kairi and Sora are MADLY in love with each other and clearly wants each other genitals.
Riku just doesn't fit in the trio. There's no subtext, there's nothing.
Riku and Sora are bros. Nothing more.

stop playing autism games

What did Nomura mean by these?

> Last you see of your best friend is him being trapped in what is effectively hell for 2 years. No idea if he's even alive, let alone where he is.

> Saw Kairi like 5 minutes ago, and she's captured, but safe.

Also, Riku's been Sora's friend since birth, as evidenced by BBS before Kairi even showed up at Destiny Islands.

leave it to the deluded fujo fanbase to ignore explicit dialogue in order to fuel their headcanons

Someone made a big in depth post about how Kairi became useless without even mentioning their favorite blue haired scapegoat, did anyone save it?

No because your post was blatant biased shit that actually favored Xion of all people.

So is Kairi a keyblade user now? Why can she use one?

Are we going to get a "Three Warriors" trope again? I love those tropes.

Favored who?

I think we're actually going to see the... uhhh... sigh. Keyblade war. Like finally.

We already saw it in Unchained X, and we'll see it again in Unchained X ~Back Cover~

we already saw it and it was boring

Aqua marked her as her heir like Ventus and Terra marked Sora and Riku.

Which is pretty much all the evidence we need that Aqua is FUCKED in 0.2

Kairi's a princess of heart, so she has a strong heart by default

Ventus never marked Sora per se. Sora's a really weird edge case, because he had Ventus' heart inside him but technically never touched Ventus' keyblade, so who knows if that counts as the rite of inheritance.

Bros before hoes

He never really accessed it until Roxas happened, considering that's when Ventus' heart did a minor split. The second Keyblade he uses in his forms is Ventus'.

Aqua is FUCKED, but the inheritance ceremony doesn't mean you literally give your keyblade to the kid.

I mean think about it for a second Sora has the keyblade Terra gave to Riku but it's not like Lingering Will fights you with his bare fists.

You can give away YOUR keyblade though, which is why Aqua has a Master Keeper and Sora might get it in KH3

Speaking of which
>Xemnas CAN wield a keyblade
>He's never been shown to use one
Watch as he uses Rainfell

It could also be that Ventus' heart was too weak during KH1 to summon a keyblade. It could also be that Roxas growing his own heart helped Ventus' heart grow, allowing him to summon a keyblade.

The metaphysics of how hearts work is honestly still really vague, so it's not clear.

bros before hoes

Aqua's situation is different. She effectively threw her keyblade into the Realm of Light, so it could just be that keyblades can't re-materialize across Realms.

bro b4 ho

>muh homestuck samefag

>yfw the final battle turns into mystic key hot potato

The fuck was Xemnas up to anyway. It's not like he can pull a Xehanort, and he spent %75 of his time staring at the sky stretching his arms out. Was he just a bit of an asshole?

Would you change your appearance and become a nigger to save your friend's life, Sup Forums ?

Riku best character development.

The whole time you were progressing through Kingdom Hearts Sora was at home watching disney movies and cartoons, his favorites being his pals Donald and Goofy.
The point being, he has no interest in kairi as she cannot save him from his own taste. Riku on the other hand can take him far away from his living room fantasies with his cool syndicate of tatooed dudes.

Fuck yeah dude. 'Ansem' had a fucking sweet body.

FUJOSHITS BTFO

I completely forgot about these scenes

Can't wait for Kairi and Sora to fug in KH3

>KH1
>Riku is the bretty cool rival character who cucks your keyblade and kicks your ass

>KH2
>Riku is a giant homo with lines like "I know one thing you could never imititate. Having you as a friend!"

Why is this allowed? Why did Kingdom hearts go from Final Fantasy and Disney mash up to being literally a Deviant Art fanfic?

Because user, in KH1 it wasn't Riku.

And then theres the asinine story

you guys bitch about the dumbest shit. He obviously grew from his experiences. You faggots need to replay the games. The hd pack cant come soon enough so all of you retards are reminded of the goddamn context

>wasn't riku

elaborate

ok what's the deal with summoning he key blade. Is there a chosenone, only it chose sora because his heart was stronger, then got retconed

Collecting hearts from arificial Heatless to make another artificial version of Kingdom Hearts

Xehanort was mid possession during KH1 after Riku reached Hollow Bastion, considering Riku has a link with Terra. Maleficent was trying to turn Riku into a pawn, but he had already surpassed her without either really know. Evil Spock doesn't fuck around.

You gotta have a strong heart to wield a keyblade. That's always true. If you get the rite of inheritance, then it becomes easier to summon a keyblade.

Keyblades don't give a fuck about light or dark, they just go after STRONK hearts.

In KH1, Riku was odds on for getting a keyblade. It materialised before him, but then he had a moment of weakness, and the keyblade was like "fuck, this kid's heart is too weak" but it had already materialized, so it went to the next best heart, which was Sora.

Sora also had Ventus' heart inside him, which probably helped desu, but the keyblade was meant for Riku.

Eventually, Riku shows up with a heart stronk in darkness, and he steals the Kingdom Key back from Sora as a result.

But then Sora becomes stronk enough to take it back again. Riku ends up making a new keyblade, and the Kingdom Key belongs to Sora's heart permanently.

There's two special keyblades that choose their wielders, one for Light and one for Dark. Light briefly picked Riku before going to Sora, the Dark one went with King Mickey. The other ones were made in the image of their progenitor, the X(chi)-blade.

Gotcha, haven't played KH in forever.

Emulating FM1 and 2 since KH will probably never release on PC properly

>his eyes
why is KH so well animated?

ok, could have sora ever come up with the keyblade of his own? or he just steals a nigga's key blade.

Initially, he probably wasn't strong enough to wield a keyblade, hence why Riku was able to steal the Kingdom Key back, but by the end of the game he's matured enough to truly own it as his own keyblade. At that point, he probably could have manifested his own.

See also DDD Axel/Lea. He couldn't manifest his keyblade until he'd done his whole rescue attempt, and after that it was fairly easy, so it's probably to do with friendship or some shit.

Technically it's stolen, but he would have gotten one anyway since Ventus was linked to him. Even without that he maybe could have gotten one by being strong enough.

ah the ultimate ass pull

riku was a fucking jealous dickwad in 1
Sora asked him to travel with them to find kiari and he was too worried about Sora getting new friends that he didn't wanna be friends with Sora
Meanwhile all Sora was trying to do was find Kiari
Riku kidnapped Pinnochio and was gonna tear him apart in order to find out the secrets of the heart to save Kiari, but Sora was willing to fucking stab himself to save her
Riku was a bitch

well, it's frequently and annoyingly pounded in as a theme of the story throughout all the games that friendship makes the heart stronger. like Sora said, "My friends are my strength" and Aerith confirms that with each friend he's made along the way he's taken a piece of their strength with him in his heart
So axel could have grown a fairly strong heart along the way with the help of Roxas, Xion, Sora, Mickey, Kiari, and Riku

>Sora running around solving the problems of people he doesn't know in order to save his girl friend
>Riku fooling the bad guys into working with him, using their power, willing to tear apart a kid in order to find his girl

Riku sounds alpha as fuck DESU

Riku doesn't like kairi like that though

He's Sora's wingman through and through

>riku fooling the bad guys into working with him
stfu, Maleficent duped riku big time, by the time he had turned it around and started using them to get the princesses of heart he had already been possessed by Ansem
all the alpha shit that riku did was really just Ansem

Nah bro, nothing that was added after KH1 counts. Thats all not canon dream sequences as far as im concerned. they really shit the bed in literally every other title

retard

I participated in that. Or at least I think my character eventually does.

it doesn't make sense in chi. you are just in the book.

...

Chi is nothing but a simulation made by Xehanort in an attempt to make another 'Keyblade War' to spawn an X-Blade.

Nice headcanon, m8.
Do you have any facts to back that up?

>Post yfw KH II came out ten years ago

I was only twelve...

That makes two of us. I think it's the game I've replayed most times in my life.

It all makes sense. The Keyblade War happened over a hundred years ago, but all the Disney characters are still alive? Why does Luxu have Xehanort's keyblade? Why is Chirithy, a Dream Eater, your effective mentor? Why does the Master of Masters sound like Xigbar?

Everything about Chi is shady as fuck in terms of lore, amd it all fits.

Using your logic i could say that the whole kingdom hearts universe doesn't make any sense because it only exists inside the mind of a 3 year old retarded children, or that in reality Sora is in a coma and everyone inside his heart is a person who was kind to him when he was awake, and it would fit all too.
It doesn't stop being a head canon.

Be honest you fags,

would you SUBMIT

Silly, you're playing as a body double of Sora that woke up from an artificial coma after CoM. The REAL Sora is off building the true Kingdom Hearts.

...

>oh hey kairi's fine, whatever
>RIKU WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO YOU WHY DO YOU LOOK LIKE MANSAM

Fourteen here, shit was pretty cash.

blame nomura
fag got fired from ff15 now compares himself to being in fucking darkness

>Why is Chirithy, a Dream Eater, your effective mentor?

There's more than one of those little shits, and one of them died

All the KH games, sans the upcoming 2.8 and 3, happened long before Nomura was off from FF15.

But it's not E, Kingdom Hearts II was T and I think the rest are E10+ now.

It was only T because E10+ didn't exist at the time.

that's not much of an argument, though

that doesnt matter, hes still a piece of shit

I don't like the reincarnation theory but if Aqua's past life was literally Snake these memes will have reached peak dankest

I hate KH because the writing is all about that insufferable insular "Group of cool mysterious people" that have a million bits of drama that ultimatly add up to fucking nothing and take away from the Disney and good Square characters.

A million characters and plot lines that complicate the "Sora/Kari/Riku" thing but never fucking add to it. Maybe a few dozen more secret societies that have grandios plans to fuck about and have their dicks in their hands for all the good it does.

Foretellers and faggy Chi Players are all fake. Snek might just be data Aqua if there's really any link at all.

Although is Ava is data Kairi then holy shit watch out for Kairi she'll end the entire fucking universe

SORA

Sora better fuck that Kairi pussy in KH3

Aqua's going to smash that Sora boipussy. There's no escaping it.

Simple and Clean is about an older woman in a relationship with a younger boy.

LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT.

...

> Kingdom Hearts II was T
No it wasn't.
