this theory gives a reason for that

yet in that cloud and leon scene

the hearts release when they kill

There's a difference in colour

It's noticeable in Days

The hearts get released, but they will turn back into a heartless

When done by a keyblade it's permanent

I think

Yep

damn

all thoise heartless donald and goofy killed

for nothing

@The Sweetest Snowcone I know right? ?

What if... What if it was all for nothing?

Pitiful heartless, mindlessly collecting hearts

Wait, in KH2 defeating heartless didn't make it permanent, did it?

i'm about a third of the way through and THIS IS BLOWING MY MIND

All of those hearts went into the Kingdom Hearts Xemnas was creating

Am I wrong on this?

No

But those hearts were released permanently

Only the ones slain by the keyblades

Yeah and then they rained down on the dark city and spawned heartless

After Ansem did his big boom

Yeah wait hang on does this mean D&G never achieve anything?

Oh, so they didn't turn into a heartless again but got used to create Kingdom Hearts and later into fuel for the Heartless thanks to Ansem the Wise

Poor babies

Man....Ansem the Wise firetrucked up

They mentioned it in Days, you can use magic and other stuff to destroy heartless but it's not permanent

The hearts find their way into other heartless

Which just makes the HBRC more badass

Or spawn into more

Man Sora really does do all the work

Why does it make them more badass?

Hey, at least there's more keyblade wielders now

Cos even tho it's essentially futile they're still going headfirst

Damn imma go replay that bit

It's just a top notch sequence
