But I'm talking about keychains and stuff

Where did he get these keychains?
Why can Sora transform his keyblade but Riku can't?
How did he learn how to keyblade transform, when he couldn't before?

Etc

along with shouldering the responsibilities before him

this cutscene solidifies he CAN do these things, but it doesn't say anything else than that

It's like attraction flow

Sora just kind of has it for no reason

I just assumed he got it with his new clothes just like how he got dry forms with new clothes

i mean on looks alone yeah, but i think there is genuinely a deeper subtext to it

yeah same

You can't transform canonicly before that new game plus doesn't count

i think joshua is not impressed

but you can use attraction flow in herc's world before the new clothes

he hasnt said a peep

the train in the rock titan

and don't you get hero's origin pretty immediately too? Like you don't wait until the end of the world like in other games

ah srry i'm busy with ff14 lol. i'll read it tonight

and I feel like you already had the ability to transform then

no you didn't

at least i dont think so?

Nah its fine, I was just about to go anyway

You only have second form

oh wait no you did jk

you have second form

You can transform if it's a New Game Plus

Second form isnt a keyblade the transformation though

It's basically a drive form

Double form is just non- Canon

it's one of those abelites that he just knows at this point

like how he can forever dodge roll now

Imagine if they made a game without Dodge roll cough cough kh2

oh goshhh

yeah second form was canonized and explained in kh2 tho

and he still has the clothes from then, and his clothes change as well in kh3 as though they are drives

But it never explains keyblade transformations, or attraction flow

attraction flow i dont think needs an explanation. it just sorta happens as a game thing
highly doubt that's seen as an actual power

or keychains

My criteria is for something to be canonized, it has to appear in a cutscene

It is tho

you use it aagainst the rock titan, and against the 10k heartless
