But this is rare, from what we've seen so far

From what we've seen, yea. Just because the series is so heavily concentrated on those involved with the Heartless-Nobody life cycle. Sora, the main protagonist, is an abnormality in almost every way with the given lore lol

I think some people who would die of natural causes, say they had an ilness or something, could be consumed by darkness and then possibly form a Nobody

But I don't think everyone whose ever lived necessarrily has a Heartless

But anyways, since the Chirithys don't contribute to the personhood of a being, I'm not too worried about them. It seems like the individual themself influence their Chirithy rather than the other way around

I think it's likely. Yen Sid confirmed that most people's hearts have at least a little darkness in them. And a Heartless can be formed from any amount of darkness, no matter how small. Even Sora briefly turned into a Shadow.

And darkness is nothing more than negativity. It's rare for a person to feel no negativity at all. Incredibly rare.

True but normally Darkness in and of itself doesnt consume the person unless the individual is enthralled with it. If a decently good person, say like Sora, died of an ilness, I don't think they'd spawn a Heartless. Sora seemingly only spawned one because of the Keyblade of Heart. Then there's the other instance. seemingly being overtaken by another Heartless, like the guy from Traverse Town

Not sure if its just negativity? That sounds more like Unversed

Well, it's for sure based on emotion. Light and Darkness are more than just good and evil after all.

Darkness seems to be a literal force of nature, like "the darkside of the force"

There's a line from Pete that has me particularly convinced:

"Anger and jealously turned your king into a Heartless!"

I'd like to agree with you given the series' use of more Taoistic influence, but I think the series shys away from that too much to be the case. We've never had a "good-darkness guy". I'd like to count Terra and Riku but admittedly I have a hard time. They struggled with Darkness as if it was a disease. Arguably thats because they were manipulated, but even Malifcient/SoD and Xehanort count too. Consistently using Dark Elemental Magic makes for a good case though

Eraqus is the only real debatable person regarding a "bad-light guy", but its less that he was bad and more just misguided/blind by his own personal feelings.

Good point but I feel like it could be also said that anger and jealousy are elements from evil/darkness, kinda like the Darkside of the Force

But they're not inherently evil. They're just normal emotions. Hence, why my interpretation of darkness is negativity. Practically speaking, the only difference between Heartless and Unversed is that the later are a byproduct of Vanitas' existence.

I just went on a 3omin rant about BBS and why it's my favorite game.

I was doing the flappy hands while typing, which is why it took 30 minutes.

I could see why that'd imped the process.

I stim when happy.

Same

Imagine Sora inside a store or a fast food restaurant and people come across him and look at him because of his hair, like they want to pet him as people walk by him with how fluffy and bouncy his hair is...

Imagine Sora getting this on a computer

A while back, I started creating a kingdom hearts/etrian odyssey crossover but I can't find the commands that heartless use in CoM. Can someone tell me where they might be posted? already checked several wikis

Just watched that- looks pretty neat

Live footage of me going down a Saïx/isa rabbit hole.

Currently having a crisis over Bunnymoon.

The option to skip the prologue is odd but I guess I can understand why it’s there

And dual audio is a nice gesture even if the Japanese dub is terrible

Don't know why they would but to each their incorrect own I guess

Don't tell the weebs that lol

Little pitch for you guys:
A series of children’s books focusing on lighthearted adventures with Sora, Riku, and Kairi

I guess that could work probably during their earlier days on the Destiny Islands

Kind of what I’m thinking

Leon has no right to be that pretty in kh2.
